Footage, which could not be independantly verified by Reuters, appeared to show rebel fighters receiving a new supply of arms. In the boxes shells and rocket propelled-grenades. But rebels said they have no heavy weapons such as anti-aircraft or anti-tank missiles. Armoured vehicles and tanks were also displayed - purportedly seized from the Syrian Army. SOUNDBITE: REBEL SPOKESMAN IN ALEPPO PROVINCE, ALI BALLO, SAYING (Arabic): "Regarding the tanks, we are fixing them so we can use them when we raid some places. We used them yesterday when we attacked the artillery base in the Zahraa area." Rebels said their recent attacks included one on an air force intelligence base in Aleppo. The city has seen weeks of fierce fighting between army troops and opposition fighters, trying to bring down the ruling government. © DailyMotion - Tuesday, August 28, 2012

Darkstalkers Resurrection Review
When I was young, there was a pizza parlor next to the Laundromat my mother and I cleaned our clothes at and each time, I would ask for some quarters so I could go next door and play the Darkstalkers cabinet the pizza parlor had. I was drawn into the game because I knew Capcom had made the Street Fighter series and the characters looked so different than what other games were offering. Sure, Primal Rage had dinosaurs and monsters but Darkstalkers had a rock and roll zombie and Bigfoot.
Darkstalkers Resurrection – a collection of the second and third arcade games in the series, Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge and Darkstalkers 3 – gives the series' multifaceted gameplay a bunch of options, extras and online play and after over 15 years, it still holds up. However, time and the state of fighting games today may be detrimental to this collection of lost gems.
Darkstalkers ran on the CPS2 arcade board, the same as many of Capcom's arcade games in the second half of the 90s such as the Street Fighter Alpha series and the Capcom/Marvel crossover games up until Marvel vs. Capcom 2. However, that also means that nowadays, the graphics look dated. Animations look less fluid than today's fighters and everything is pixilated like hell. There are some filters you can apply to make it look better but even these make the game look too blurry. However, both Darkstalkers 3 and Night Warriors still hold up visually after all these years, not in fidelity but in design.
The character animations are so diverse because the move lists for the characters are so varied. Limbs can change into chainsaws, characters transform into bats, gills expand and contrast, the sky's the limit with what is possible. Darkstalkers 3 especially has some impressive animations, such as transforming your opponent into weak women prey or slam-dunking your enemy through a basketball hoop. Stages are also diverse, ranging from London streets, complete with cobblestone roadways, to a graveyard complete with floating souls and the soundtrack and sound effects further compliment the setting.
Of course the thrill of playing any fighting game is the combat mechanics and Darkstalkers series definitely holds up. The fighting is fast paced, especially in Darkstalkers 3, and incredibly fun. Characters have vast moves lists and each move, even the basic attacks have they purpose for different situations. Indicative of later Capcom fighters like Marvel vs. Capcom 2, both Darkstalkers 3 and Night Warriors are focused on super moves, either ES moves or EX moves. Your meter builds up quickly and you can have a very high number of meters stored away for later.
You could say that the Darkstalkers series was a testing ground for features later introduced into the Street Fighter series and are now staples of fighting games today. Air blocking, auto-combos, guard cancels, all of these are utilized here. Even some like Darkstalkers 3's two life bar system (similar to Killer Instinct) that were never used again are interesting concepts that help to differentiate Darkstalkers from other fighting games.
However, it doesn't differentiate it enough. Sad thing is some newer gamers won't find much different in Darkstalkers from new games like Super Street Fighter IV and wonder why they are playing this collection of 15 year old games instead of those. The game mechanics is fun but considering the fighting game genre today, young and unfamiliar gamers need to be intrigued by the art design because the crazy animations and game mechanics can essentially be experienced by playing something like Marvel vs Capcom 3. And that game also looks technically better.
Luckily, if you are entranced by the personality of the game, you'll be rewarded not just with awesome fighting mechanics but modes, features and online play. The game includes not just normal arcade mode and a training mode but also a challenges/tutorial mode. This shows you some basic attacks and combos with each character and does a good job teaching you some of the intricacies of the games. There are also some good explanations in the How to Play selection in the options menu.
Speaking of options, there are multiple ways to change the way the game looks. Like Capcom's other fighting games released on digital stores such as Marvel vs Capcom Origins, you can add scanlines, change the aspect ratio or make it look like an arcade cabinet and more. The game also gives you tasks to complete such as win by using an EX move or burn enemies this many times to level up and earn vault points to spend on unlocking concept art, ending movies and more. I do wish they had something telling you each character's backstory or the plot behind the game since I have no reference to go on.
Finally, there's both local and online play and it utilizes the GGPO system for flawless online play. It's fast, easy to use, and there are plenty of people playing online. You can join tournaments, have online match requests during arcade and training mode play thanks to a recent update, and watch replays uploaded to the servers. You can even upload your own replays that you save to YouTube. However, the quality of the YouTube videos sucks. Still, the fighting online is really fun and part of that is due to the game doing a good job matching you with someone your own skill level.
There isn't really anything wrong with Darkstalkers Resurrection. The combat is tight, online play is good, the graphics are creative if dated and there are a lot of options for you to mess around with. Really it's just doesn't do much to differentiate itself today. You can also argue that better fighters like Street Fighter III Online are available. If you are a fan of the Darkstalkers series or any of the games, you should get this. Otherwise, this is one of the more niche fighting titles that everyone should try but few actually will.

The teacher says no way.Write more.Wallace Wallace says that's it.Read my lips. The teacher says DETENTION.So, Wallace Wallace heads to detention and by merest chance, finds himself stuck watching the rehearsals of the school play, day afterday and what play is that you ask?Well, try a dramatization of Old Shep, My Pal.Uh huh!Wallace Wallace becomes a creative advisor to the drama department, and the hilarity ensues.

City Link announces 2,356 job losses after rescue bid for workers fails
MORE than 2000 workers will lose their jobs at City Link after a bid to buy the company failed.
A picket line outside City Link in Motherwell, Lanarkshire
Within the past 24 hours RMT has been made aware of what we believe to be a credible bid to take over some or all of the City Link trading operation.
Administrators today confirmed some 2,356 jobs would go at the delivery firm after a lifeline from an unnameed consortium was not acceptable.
The possible buyer "offered no money up front and significantly undervalued the assets to be acquired," administrators said.
Mick Cash, general secretary of the RMT union, said the City Link collapse "shames our nation".
But they were offered a glimmer of hope after Mick Cash, general secretary of the RMT union, disclosed unconfirmed details of a possible rescue.
But administrators today confirmed this would not go ahead.
Just over 370 City Link staff have been kept on to deal with the parcels that remain at depots and help run down the business.
The administrators, from Ernst & Young, said they had proposed alternative purchase terms to the consortium "that would be acceptable and common in these situations. The consortium, despite attempts to make them reconsider, declined to amend their original offer".
The potential rescue bid came as members of the RMT were due to protest outside the company's offices and depot in Baginton, Coventry.
Mr Cash said: "Within the past 24 hours RMT has been made aware of what we believe to be a credible bid to take over some or all of the City Link trading operation.
"At this stage we have no further details and we understand the matter is in the hands of the administrators with the government and [business secretary] Vince Cable aware of the situation.
A worker shows his displeasure at City Link's collapse on a picket line in Motherwell
"With today key in terms of redundancies RMT is urging the administrators to suspend the redundancy process and work with the government and the administrators to urgently evaluate and act on any viable options that could keep City Link trading as a going concern."
Mr Cash earlier claimed that the treatment of City Link's employees exposed a "cosy relationship between bandit capitalism" and the political elite.
Business Secretary Vince Cable is said to be aware of the latest City Link developments
The RMT protest comes a day after a Staffordshire-based parcel delivery company said it was set to make up to 100 jobs available to workers axed by City Link.
APC Overnight said it would give priority to former City Link staff in filling vacancies at its national sorting centre in Cannock.
Jon Moulton, the founder of City Link's parent company, Better Capital, said he was 'very sorry'
Administrators Ernst & Young (EY) estimate that around 30,000 parcels are still being held at City Link depots around the country.
Customers who have sent parcels and intended recipients are being advised that depots remain open for items to be picked up between 8am and 8pm.
EY said in a statement: "The volume of parcels currently in the City Link network is low, and all depots will be open until approximately January 6.
City Link's 2,727-strong workforce is facing substantial redundancies
"Customers and recipients can locate which depot their parcel is being held in using the City Link website."
Speaking earlier this week, the founder of City Link's parent company denied the firm's collapse was mishandled and apologised to workers who found out on Christmas Day that they would lose their jobs.
Jon Moulton said the directors of investment firm Better Capital, which took over the parcel delivery firm in 2013, were "very sorry" about its collapse and the "horrible" effects for its workforce.

Australian sports car maker Bolwell lately introduced the latest model of its Nagari coupe and has now established that it will go into limited production early next year with a sticker price of about AUD$198,000 (approximately $132,580).
Created as a contemporary interpretation of Bolwell's 1970s model, which goes by the same name, the new Nagari dumps the stripped-out racer appearance of the original and in its place adopts a lavish grand tourer theme.
Before there was the possibility that two powertrain choices would be accessible, either a 3.5-liter Toyota V6 generating 295 hp (220 kW) or a more powerful supercharged variant of the same engine with 375 hp (280 kW) on tap, however it has now been relayed that there will be no supercharged engine at present.
A dual wishbone suspension configuration can be found at the front and rear, and stopping power will come from 355mm vented and slotted discs - comparatively average by supercar standards but keep in mind that the Bolwell weighs lesser than a ton.
The whole car will weigh just 920 kilograms because of its advanced composite chassis and bodyshell, weighing in at just 36 kilograms and 62 kilograms each, respectively.
It will still highlight many luxury parts such as a leather interior, a Polaris GPS radio with satnav system, as well as a camera for going in reverse.
Other standard properties include 19 inch alloy wheels, ABS brakes, a sports exhaust system, Recaro seats, a Momo steering wheel with carbon-fiber paddle shifters, remote central locking, cruise control, air conditioning, electric windows and a first-rate audio system.

So says John Solomon at the Washington Guardian, citing sources within the intelligence community. Within 72 hours, the Presidential Daily Briefing made it clear, according to Solomon, that the attack did not arise from a spontaneous mob protesting a YouTube video, but instead resulted from a planned, coordinated attack by radical Islamist extremists with links to al-Qaeda:

Its about the meme blaming the video. Who inserted the story line about the video? Who decided to blame America and our ignorance of islam for the killing of the Americans? Pretty simple. Identify that person or persons and have them tried for treason.
So, the WH deceived the American people, but it was for a very good reason.
Yes, it's absurd. Yes, Chris Matthews and Brian Williams and Wolf Blitzer will report it as gospel and with a straight face.
Zer0 couldn't figure this out all by his own self?
One suspects that Mister Obama presided over the committees that cooked-up the "video" lie.
No proof (of course) but truth eventually finds its way into the bright light, so we'll see.

Mulan Unbinds Her Floating Boats
15 comments:
So glad the magic of this story has been returned to you. I cringe at all the Disney stories, but then i see the magic sparkle in the children's eyes..and get over it by hoping it will inspire them to learn the full story later :D XXXReplyDeleteReplies
I second your notion. I keep my peace whenever the Little Princess is enjoying her favorite Disney flick--unless they are showing something important but historically inaccurate, in which case all bets are off. Eight is too early of an age to know that a girl cut her foot off for riches, or that kids were left in the woods to die by their parent... At eight, we shouldn't mind a bit of glitter and unicorn rainbow farts.Delete
Well, I share your feeling on Disney, in fact, finding people love Disney, that there's a whole world of geeky joy and respect for Disney, was one of the surprising things about coming to the USA. It's been a very recent epiphany when I grasped that the early Disney stories were re-telling a tale their audience already knew. So Disney's Sleeping Beauty doesn't sleep for a hundred years, she sleeps for about 36 hours. Max. That's all very well, the tale belongs to the narrator as well as the listeners, but it always saddens me when that's the only version a child learn. When people say Cinderella, they mean the girl in the tower (and that thrilling homoerotic scene where she's stripped by her sisters. No? Just me?). So, yea, conflicting feeling about the Big D.ReplyDelete
And damn me but those monthlies pick their days to mess us up. Well done you on powering through. You actually carried a burden for all of us when you did that.
Hooray for Rommy! This was a fabulous project for her to be involved in and as soon as I get a moment, I'll go listen.Replies
Dearest Rhissanna, rant away. If we count to three we might be able to do it in sync--I was shocked by the same findings when I got the US. And not just about Disney story, but by the way history was told. So very strange...Delete
Disney movies were ruined for me at an early age, when I checked The Little Mermaid out of the library and found out how the story really ended... how truly, wonderfully romantic and terrifying the original Beauty and the Beast is... and for the love of folktales, don't get me started on Pocahontas (HATERAGEGROWLSNARL *ahem*) Peter Pan, or Rapunzel/Tangled...ReplyDelete
And then I had kids of my own, and we all know how that goes... I learned an appreciation for the "magic" of Disney, even if their bastardizations of the true tales irks the ever-living you-know-what out of me. However, not to be deterred in my adherence to the true tales, I have bought my babies numerous books of mythology and folk tales (the REAL ones) over the years... though it's been an uphill struggle to get them to read those. Now if I could just break my oldest's obsession with the Disney Fairies... *facepalm*Replies
Isn't it wondrous how our circumstances alter our worldviews? I always wonder how some people--who are totally against certain things--would react towards the thing in question if they have to be the one experiencing it...Delete
As I have said before..everytime I see your smiling face , I am going to learn something MORE I didn't know.ReplyDelete
Thank you for shaing this! xoDebiReplies
Smiling faces learning are my favorites. Hence I always keep a mirror nearby. *wink*Delete
I enjoyed this post immensely. I do have trouble forgiving the film makers for not staying true to a story.ReplyDelete
Thank you for serving as a Marine.Replies
I tend to kind of forgive certain things, but when it comes to others... Well, it's not pretty, lol!Delete
And you are very welcome. ;-)
I had never watched Mulan as I have always had a problem with Disney's movies and interpretations on historical figures. I saw some still photos of the movies and was inspired to do some horses based on such :), but I must say the photo you posted was great as was the links to the story origins.ReplyDelete
And I too thank you for serving as a Marine! That is something that can never be said enough.Replies
The photos of Mulan and her army charging on horseback are quite provocative, aren't they? The face of the horses say things that make the heart beat to fast for comfort. And they do it so valiantly.Delete
You are very welcome. ;-)
I am up and down with Disney movies. As long as they put a smile on my face, that's what I care about ;o) Sometimes I look past the story, and just let things go and be a kid again ;o) Hugs ;o)ReplyDeleteReplies
Sometimes, it's good to "just let things go and be a kid" for a while. Indeed!Delete

Beyond the most hardcore users, skepticism has only increased. Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman wrote that the currency's tendency to fluctuate has encouraged hoarding. Stefan Brands, a former ecash consultant and digital currency pioneer, calls bitcoin "clever" and is loath to bash it but believes it's fundamentally structured like "a pyramid scheme" that rewards early adopters.

Poster art put up on Leith Walk as part of a Leith Late initiative has reportedly made a two-year-old cry.
The artwork, dubbed 'upsetting,' is by Kirsty Whiten, and is part of a wider "WRONGER RITES: The Quing of the Now Peoples," exhibition.
,@Edinburgh_CC @EdinReporter this is on Leith Walk on the corner at Lorne St near Lorne St Primary not appropriate. pic.twitter.com/cgAob0nbRe
— Dan (@Danjedinburgh) June 19, 2015
According to Leith Late, her work aims to "set up narratives that pick apart the social norm, particularly in relation to gender and sexuality, highlighting and criticising accepted behaviours."
@Danjedinburgh @greenerleith @Edinburgh_CC @EdinReporter Totally agree! Made my 2 year old cry!
— elliemayze (@elliemayze) June 19, 2015
The controversial poster, that has sparked calls for it to be removed, is on a poster barrel on the corner where Leith Walk, and Lorne Street meet.
Its proximity to the entrance of Lorne Street Primary School apparently justified claims it was 'inappropriate.'
@Danjedinburgh @EdinReporter @Edinburgh_CC Totally agree, bonkers choice to install next to a school!
— DaddyDaycareEdin (@DaddyDaycareEdi) June 19, 2015
Possibly the most amusing comment, was not made on Twitter at all. If you look carefully at the photo, you'll see some wag wrote "I'm not into this kind of thing" straight onto the poster.
Others have defended the poster, arguing most kids would just think it was "funny."
@Danjedinburgh my guess the kids will find it either funny off stupid, only some adults will be offended
— Graham Stevenson (@graham_c21) June 19, 2015
Now of course there'll be some who take the view that art should be challenging, and spark debate, and thus this wee exchange of views shows that Leith Late is doing its job, by putting something a bit thought provoking in a prominent public space.
@Danjedinburgh @greenerleith @Edinburgh_CC @EdinReporter Apologies if it has caused you offence, will bear it in mind in future projects 2/2
— LeithLate (@leithlate) June 19, 2015
In response to the criticism, Leith Late apologised on Twitter, and in a statement emailed to Greener Leith Morvern Cunningham, Leith Late Director said: "I understand that art can be at times provoking and challenging for people. It is never our intention to cause offence, and I believe that all of our public art initiatives are suitable for public consumption."
Update 21/6/2015: Since this post was published it has, perhaps unsurprisingly sparked further debate. On our Facebook page, it's notable that people there seem to largely agree that this artwork is probably less offensive than many of the marketing messages that routinely adorn our shopping streets.
Update 23/6/2015: Today the offending poster was removed, at the request of council officials, only to be replaced by another of Kirsty Whiten's other artworks, this time depicting a "horse-headed man in high heels."
We're grateful to Kirsty for supplying a better quality image of her original artwork, and so we added it to this post today. She also shared her views on the matter.
In a statement sent to Greener Leith she hit out at what she called the "knee jerk" reaction from council officials to the criticism of her work.
She said: "I am the artist who made the images on the poster tower outside Boda bar. As an artist I intend to provoke but I'm not out to upset anyone.
"I very carefully considered which images to place there. I'm quite fascinated that this one image has caused 'offence', there is nothing explicitly sexual about the image, as a body in a bikini doesn't stand out on the high street, there are an unending supply of these in advertising.
"Perhaps it's the body type that required censorship? A fat body standing proud? Unglamourised and a little queer?
"I'm pretty gobsmacked that a smattering of criticism has resulted in the image being effectively censored (it has been removed and replaced by one of the other figures). I consider it a knee-jerk reaction by Edinburgh Council to instigate its removal in this manner."

Healthy Proteins Bento Box Breakfast
Bento Boxes are all the rage on Pinterest and Facebook and in cafeterias and offices everywhere, and they're awesome, because not only is the food in cute, fun portions that allow for creativity in the packing of the meals. If you look, though, it's Bento Box lunches that are plastered all over Pinterest – I've partnered with Real California Milk to bring you a couple of delicious, healthy, and fun twists on Bento Box Meals.
Bento Box Breakfasts!
If you're anything like me, you spend a lot of your day at your desk – writing, editing, messaging, doing social media, tweaking your website etc… It's so easy to fall into the trap of unhealthy snacking, grabbing easy pre-packaged meals, or straight up junk food. RESIST! With just a little bit of preparation, and some delicious Real California Milk products, you can have a filling, protein-packed, and best of all YUMMY bento box breakfast any time of the day!
Monkey and I both love parfaits, he requests one at least 3 times a week, and truthfully, I could probably eat one every single day; there are so many options and so many different ways to make them that you could have a different flavor profile every time.
I'm a pretty simple girl when it comes to my parfaits – just give me a delicious high-quality vanilla yogurt, in season fruits, a scrumptious granola for crunch, and some honey for added sweetness. I pair my parfait with a hard-boiled egg and some mouth-wateringly scrumptious Real California Milk sharp cheddar – bonus points for cute shapes, y'all, seriously, there's something about cute food and bright colors that just makes eating it a more pleasurable experience. . This is Monkey's favorite bento box breakfast – he's been known to steal mine out of the fridge for his own lunch!!
Look at the cuteness! Hearts and Stars and Fruits – OH MY! 🙂
Healthy Mornings Bento Box Breakfast
Another option – is to have a protein packed bento box breakfast and when I tell y'all that I have the BEST and yummiest recipe for you that's going to pair with a salsa yogurt dip and some fruit to make a totally crave-worthy meal.
Protein Packed Bento Box Breakfast
These cheesy sausage and egg hash brown cups, y'all. Y'all. Y'all! Real California milk Oaxaca cheese, spicy sausage, hash browns, and some Real California Milk Butter add some crazy deliciousness to these hash brown cups. Hot out of the oven and ready to burn the roof of your mouth, room temperature, or even cold these things are out of this world amazing. A creamy Real California Milk Plain Yogurt combined with your favorite salsa makes a delicious dip for the hash brown cups and fresh seasonal fruit adds a bright, yummy flavor that pairs perfectly.
I had so much fun playing around with flavors, textures, combinations, and of course the delicious Real California Milk products! We had these Sausage and Cheese Hashbrown cups at least 4 times in 2 weeks, the yogurt parfaits equally as many times, and the sheer amount of that Real California Milk sharp cheddar that was consumed/stolen from my workspace/kitchen island — it's pretty safe to say my family was really happy with this partnership.
- 1 Cup Real California Milk Plain Yogurt
- ¼ Cup Granola
- ¼ Cup fresh berries - sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries etc..
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 Sliced Hard Boiled Egg
- Real California Milk Sharp Cheddar Cheese - bonus points for cute shapes
- Grab a cute bento box that works with your breakfast ingredients
- Arrange ingredients in the bento box
- Seal
- Take with you
- Enjoy!
- ½ package spicy breakfast sausage, crumbled, cooked, and drained
- 2 Cups frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
- 4 Tablespoons Real California Milk Butter, melted
- pinch salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 8 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 Cup Real California Milk, Oaxaca Cheese, grated
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Real California Milk Plain Yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon Salsa of Choice
- Pre-heat oven to 400°F and lightly spray/grease your 12 muffin tins
- Cook sausage in a medium skillet, once the sausage is cooked, drain the grease and set it aside
- In a bowl, combine the hashbrowns, salt, pepper, and butter; divide the hashbrowns evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Press the hashbrown mixture into the muffin cups.
- Bake for 12 - 13 minutes, or until the hashbrowns are lightly brown and crisp on the edges. Remove from the oven. Top the hash browns with the cooked sausage
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together; add the cheese and chopped green onions. Spoon evenly into the muffin cups.
- Return to the oven and bake 13 - 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
- Combine the Salsa and Real California Milk Yogurt, and set aside. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Course Description
Composition is an introduction to the occasions and standards of college writing. Students develop writing abilities through the study and practice of writing processes. Students explore flexible strategies for inventing, generating, drafting, reading, editing, sharing, and presenting their work. The study of ideas, evidence, organization, style, and convention is essential. Coursework stresses the importance of reading and writing for inquiry, learning, thinking, and communication. Students write for varied situations, in a variety of genres, and in response to personal experience, reading, research, argument, and demand. Students examine both the rhetorical and visual impact of the texts they produce. By the end of this course, students are better prepared for the writing they will do in college and beyond.
The Composition requirement is intended to help students become responsible writers who can take charge of their own writing process. It is satisfied by the course EN 1200 or its equivalency.
Students learn how to draft, respond to feedback from peers and instructor, revise, and edit successful college prose. By the end of the course, they should be able to write essays that are unified by a central thesis, well-developed in carefully organized paragraphs with vivid details, and grammatically appropriate with effective sentence structure and correct mechanics.
Students also learn to read comprehensively and effectively in order to relate ideas and arguments to their writing and thinking. They are expected to summarize different kinds of texts, paraphrase the ideas of someone else, analyze others' arguments and positions, compare and contrast ideas, and generate their own thoughts and ideas following research and observation. Students are required to engage in library research and to write papers based on their research. Thus the General Education skills being given special emphasis in this course are writing, reading, conducting research, and collaborating with others.
We will not be bored. We will laugh. We will partner together. We will be irreverent. We will read and write. We will take time to think about why we are doing this work. We won't let this class be just another requirement. We will make it work for us. Maybe we will even make t-shirts to remind ourselves of the awesomeness that was this section of Comp, Fall 2013. Seriously: have faith. This is going to be good.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, students will:
- be able to articulate the importance of writing and writing process to their educations and their lives;
- be able to articulate the importance of writing and writing process in specific disciplines in which they enjoy working;
- understand that disciplinary conventions around writing vary from field to field;
- be able to articulate the conventions of tone, style, and form for at least one particular discipline;
- be able to identify writing-related issues that they need to work on a develop protocols for accomplishing that learning;
- be able to conceive of and focus a research topic based on their own interests, available source material, and the needs of their field;
- be able to evaluate and summarize sources in service of their own research;
- be able to analyze sources critically;
- be able to synthesize sources and arguments;
- have a process in place for learning about grammar and correcting grammar errors as they arise in their work;
- appreciate the value of revision and collaboration in writing, researching, and thinking;
- define "texts" broadly, and have diverse tools for thinking critically about texts whether they be visual, written, multimedia, etc.

We are contemplating a cycling trip in Provence, and we are looking for easier routes without lots of hill climbing. Many of the easier trips seem to go from Arles down to the Camargue for a day or two, but I really don't know if the Camargue is something that would interest us. And, as we all know, lots of travel choices are made on the basis of comparisons of where people have already been.
We do like nature and watery environments. However, we've been in lots of different places in the US and Mexico where there are salt water flats, birds, flamingos, salt pans, marshes etc. For a European cycling trip we are most interested in seeing the man-made structures rather than seeking out a purely nature trip because we can do those at home in the US. If it truly is lovely and not just boring and repetitious, we'd definitely consider it. And, I am pretty apprehensive since a guidebook I've read compares the Camargue to the Everglades--a place I probably wouldn't choose for a cycling trip.
So, what are your thoughts?

I've been several times to Camargue - last time in a coach, was fun.
I love the area.
Never been to the everglades so can't compare.
But no alligators in France.
Report Abuse
I think it's a fascinating area. I especially like Aigues-Mortes, a remarkable and historical antique village with some of the most impressive city walls in Europe. Nearby Stes. Maries de la Mer, the scene of the gypsy pilgrimage, is also very interesting.
Like the Everglades? Not sure, more built up I'd say, but with a terrific history and culture - wild white horses, black bulls, flamingos... pretty cool place IMO.

Except for the Clearwater beaches and North Gulf Coast, I am not a Florida fan, but we love the Camargue area. As a matter of fact, we spent three days there and would like to return, especially for one of the festivals.
It certainly is not the dramatic landscape of Northern Provence or places like the AC in Italy, and the landscape is flat and with salt flats, water, birds, etc. if you have seen a lot of that, maybe it would be boring. However, we have travelled through all the lowlands of SC, the everglades of Florida, etc. and thought the Camargue had a very different flavor. It is not at all tropical, perhaps a little more on the marshy side, but lots of farm land too.
So, what is different?
The walled city of Aigues Mortes is fantastic. Yes, it is crowded and touristy during the day, but at night, you almost want to tiptoe because it is so quiet your footsteps echo and may be the only sound you hear. The history of this city is incredible. It is the place where soldiers readied and departed for the crusades. How it was built and how it came to be built is an amazing bit of history. The main square is lovely in the evenings with children playing, a musician or two, and OK restaurants. DH liked the food. I did not care for the strong meats, but loved the sweet stuff.
We stayed inside the walls, a place built in the 1200s. Nothing like that in Florida! It was so neat, we planned on one night, but stayed three.
Outside the city, flocks of flamingoes were beautiful and the wild horses were pretty, but I loved the Ranches or "mas." That area is where cowboys originated, where chaps were first used, etc. Though you can visit, they are still very much working ranches. The young people (cowboys and cowgirls) that I saw on the ranches, were gorgeous. They looked strong and glowing from being outdoors.
So, It is not a dramatic place, but I thought it was a unique and special place that needs time to appreciate.

Oh, we had none when we were there in the Fall, but some times of year, there may be mosquitoes.

You can't really cycle thru the Camargue I believe - it's a swamp and national park and yes a lot of skeeters often - towns like Aigues Mortes are not really in the Camargue - I have biked all around France and I would not be attracted to the Camargue itself - the area and towns around it like Aigues-Mortes yes. Camargue is know for pony trips into the wilds to see the wild horses of the Camargue and flamigos - pretty the same as Everglades sans the wild horses and alligators.
Far better places that are fairly flat in France to cycle thru IMO.
Report Abuse
The Camargue has nothing in common with the Everglades. There are many portions of this area that are flat - like the "pampas" in Argentina - and there are some swampy areas, but not a lot. We have driven through by car several times, but never on bikes.
Most people go to see the walled city of Carcassonne, Aigues Morte, Sainte-Marie-de-la-Mer (if there is a festival), etc. You should check the tourist website to see what's going on while you're there. A lot depends on the time of year you'll be going - absolutely do not recommend going during the Summer. We did see the flamingoes migrating one year, which was wonderful.
If you want to see the salt harvest, you can Google when this takes place in the Camargue. There are some organized tours now - you can't just wander around in the protected salt basins.
Report Abuse
manouche are there bike or walking paths that could accommodate bikes that go into the wilds of the Camarge - like to where the wild ponies are? Just curious - there are dirt tracks for horses but is it possible to cycle thru then or just on maain busy roads ringing it?

manouche? Carcassonne isn't in the Camargue, it's about 200 km away.

There are no towns in the Camargue - it's a swamp.

There is the Camargue (with National Park) and the Petite Camargue where Aigues Mortes is located. If you google biking in the Camargue, you will find lots of info about biking there as well as horseback riding, boating, etc.
There was also a very long thread about it on Fodors a couple of years ago. I think it was, is it worth it to visit the Camargue or something like that. You might also google some images. Read about and look at pics of Aigues Mortes. That might help more. If you have only a few days, I say to see Aix and Arles, etc. first. I have seen a good many walled cities and did think Aigues Mortes quite unique.
Report Abuse
I appreciate all of the different responses, and I now have some ideas about whether it would appeal or not. Many of you liked the towns and their surroundings, and I think that is what would most appeal to us rather than just seeing rather endless marshy areas. (Interesting to hear Sassafrassas' comparisons to S.C. lowlands and the Everglades since we have also been both places).
So, if you know the area, would #1 be the best bet for a combo of interesting towns to visit and interesting surroundings to cycle through on the way to and from towns?
1. Coming from Arles-- "Enter the Camargue, passing white horses, fields of black bulls and shimmering salt lakes where pink flamingos often feed. Take a break in the seaside resort of St Maries de la Mer before continuing towards the medieval fortress of Aigues Mortes. [next day] Cycle along quiet streets to the cultural city of Nimes."
2. Another tour, also coming from Arles:
"Small paths take you into the unique nature reserve. In Mejanes with the Arena you have the opportunity of travelling with a small train through unspoilt nature and to admire, with some luck, flamingos and wild bulls. The route takes you on almost traffic-free paths back to Arles [next day] The route takes you from Arles through the region of the so-called small Camargue. The white Camargue horses and wild bulls line the path to St. Gilles. A visit to the world-famous abbey with the Romanesque portal which belongs to world heritage sites is worthwhile. You continue through delightful rice fields and vineyards to the destination of this stage, the city Beaucaire/Tarascon."
3. "Visit Arles, then ride through the Camargue to the lake of Vaccarès, observe the rare birds, then to Saintes Maries de la Mer on the beach. Overnight in Saintes-Maries [Next day] Saintes Maries to St. Gilles."
By the way, if we do this, it would be an October trip so not too hot or too many mosquitoes (I hope).
Thanks much.

The main town of the Camargue is obviously Les Saintes Maries de la Mer, but Aigues Mortes is more interesting. Lots of people cycle through the Camargue, but I'm not sure if "a day or two" will do the job.
The official park brochure in English should give you a lot of ideas: http://tinyurl.com/pjjus8g

If going to Les Saintes Maries de la Mer, stop by the bird sanctuary which has a variety of birds, including flamingos.
There is also an old farmhouse which has been turned into a museum of the Camargue.

PalenQ - we were in a car, didn't see any bike or walking paths where we were but we did see lots of white horses. They aren't running wild but are protected by fences.
I wouldn't spend much time in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer unless there's a festival. Aigues Morte and Nimes are both great though.

Hi julies
The best easy cycling I have found in the area is around Le Lavandou along the coast there, there is cycle lane and the scenery is very special. I did it with my wife (you can hire bikes in town if you like) who hardly cycles at all, she loved it.
We did pop the bikes on the car and take them to join another nearby cycle track which runs not far from Bormes les Mimosas down to the Camargue area and enjoyed seeing the flat lands, bird life etc but really its not that great (unless your a bird watcher in which case its perfect). I can't say I've been to the everglades but I'm pretty sure the Camargue does not compare. There are lots of mossies (they seem bigger and nastier over there).
I've spent quite a lot of time around the Camargue and whilst it has its interest it gets a bit samey after a while, though I like to go back now and again. My wife (who's French) doesn't rate it.

cycling in this area can be REALLY hot in summer - May or September or early June would be sweet - it can really really get hot IME in southern France in summer.

Yes, I would never ever even think about this idea in summer.
A quick question about Aigues Mortes. Is this whole experience Disney like and touristy like Carcassone? The first time we visited Carcassone we weren't impressed but wondered if the crummy weather had colored our opinions. So, we tried it on another trip when the weather was better. It still left us cold.
Thanks for the photos and the tip about Le Lavandou.

Hello Peter
I had not seen you here yet, and since I'm not on TA anymore, I was missing you !

I'm no expert as I've only been to the Camargue once, a day trip from a base in St Remy. Certainly would not be my choice for somewhere to bike around. Flat, marshy and really pretty big. Now I just drove to Aigues Mortes, so didn't get to a lot of the area but the drive from Arles to Aigues Mortes was quite boring, probably the most boring of my entire two week trip to Provence. If you google images for the Camargue all you get is shots of white horses and bulls and flamingos and we didn't see ANY of those. Aigues Mortes is no where near as 'touristy' as Carcassone, but it isn't as interesting architecturally either.
I went to look in my photo gallery to give you a link to some photos of what I saw in the Camargue but apparently I didn't bother to even post any, they were so boring. There's a few of Aigues Mortes at the end of the gallery. (http://www.pbase.com/annforcier/france_-_provence)
Here's what I wrote in my trip report about Aigues Mortes (BTW, I LOVED the rest of Provence, have been to parts of it three times and will be going back, just not to the Camargue)
"AIGUES MORTES is a walled Medieval town sitting on the flat marshes of the Camargue, and is considered a pure example of 13th-century military architecture. The town of neatly rectilinear streets is surrounded by a crenelated wall with 5 towers and 10 fortified portes. It was originally a port but access to the sea has long since silted up. I've seen photos of the impressive walls reflected in water, but on closer inspection I think that was a big puddle. There is a canal along one side.
Aigues Mortes is larger than the guide books make it sound. It has an "ok" main square and lots of streets – all dead straight and 90 degree angles to one another, flat and a bit shabby. It was seriously crowded, with several tour buses. Rick Steves says "Antiques Mortes means dead waters and it should stay that way". I wouldn't go that far but it was not exactly a highlight of our time in Provence either. They did have a very god ice cream shop with lavender, rose, lilac, etc. ice cream. I got a great flavor that I think was called Rochecocco, that I have not seen anywhere else. We were pretty much done with the place in an hour, didn't bother paying to walk the walls as the view didn't seem like it would be that great either into the town or out."
You asked if it was similar to the everglades, while I can't answer that, I have done lots of biking around a coastal area with wild ponies on Chincoteague Island in Virginia, and the Camargue is way more boring than that.

Thanks so much for the extensive post. This does not sound like a very pretty picture or something that would really call to us.

Hi to pariswat
Good to see you on here too.
I hope I'm not putting people off the Camargue too much. I've seen plenty of beautiful sights there of pink flamingos, bulls and white horses as well as interesting churches. One of the other big plusses are the beaches which are fantastic around Port Camargue area. I also enjoyed the restaurants in and around Grau du Roi, bit of gipsy/Spanish feel to them often with Spanish guitar players singing folk songs, I remember the aioli nearly blew my socks off..., good value food too. We had a many good evenings out there. Hemingway liked it and I can see why he would.
As for the cycling its fine if you want flat, flat, flat...and put plenty of mossie killer on.

The Chassagnette is a wonderful restaurant in the Camargue. I second what Peter wrote.

It's been a very busy few weeks but Serena Williams' verbal undressing of a U.S. Open official (after calling a foot fault on her at the most crucial time of the match) and the public backlash that has followed warrants an official Fish And Spaghetti response.
More specifically, I wanted to address the comments made along the lines of those published by a 12 sandwich eating, M.J. D-riding, Kansas City based Journalist.
First of all, the call was completely absurd. Now , I'm not claiming to be a tennis expert by any means, but I am a sports junky and have been a tennis fan for about 20 years and I occasionally grace local courts with my presence, so I do feel that my opinion is at least somewhat creditable.
To put it in perspective, this woman made a call in the Semifinals of a Grandslam event on the best player in the world (regardless of her number two ranking), enforcing a rule in which I personally have rarely witnessed being called over the last two decades. A call, mind you, that inevitably cost her any chance of staging a comeback and put her down two match points! Not to mention, the purse of over a million dollars that the U.S. Open singles champion takes home for winning this two week event!
Now I don't know about you, but I would put the boots to anyone that attempted to steal my 74 Super-beetle, so someone reaching in my pocket to pull out over 1.2 million deserves any verbal response that I deem warranted (not to mention a double dose of the Jimmy Conway)!
But for the non-tennis fans out there that still don't quite get it, I'll paint an even clearer picture for you: Kobe or Lebron is at the free-throw line in game seven of the NBA Conference Finals. Their respective team is down one point, with two seconds on the clock and they need this last point to force overtime. Imagine if the referee called a ten second violation or claimed that a fraction of their shoe touched the free-throw line.
This was that kind of call!
Absolutely unbelievable. So what type of response would you expect from either of them?
She has been fined and made her apology and that should be the end of it. Yet, people continue to sit back, pass their judgments and publicly crucify her.
But more specifically, she has to deal with the ever hating media that salivates anytime anyone commits the slightest human error. Comments like those of Mr. Jason Whitlock
He, on more than one occasion, has expressed his disdain for Serena, recently calling her "cowardice" and referring to her as "over-sized, underachieving, loud mouth."
Now, forgive me if I am mistaken, but winning 11 Grandslam singles titles and 10 doubles titles before reaching the age of 30 doesn't sound like the resume of an underachiever to me.
And as for her weight, don't most naturally thick women, in some way or another, fluctuate between 10-15 pounds?
And speaking for most heterosexual men in the world, we LOVE it!
I guess I would have to pose the question of what planet is this brotha from ? What right does he have to knock someone that has accomplished so much? Simply because he feels that she isn't as committed to her craft as she should be?
She chooses to maintain a life outside of tennis...so what! Isn't that her prerogative?
Before I get ahead of myself, for those of you who aren't familiar with Whitlock, lets just say that he could never be mistaken for thin, in shape, or handsome. As a matter of fact, I believe that he recently slimmed down to a trim 350.
So when he sarcastically comments about Serena's "size 16 shorts", I can't help but wonder where that comes from?
Was he the nonathletic, fat kid in high school, that sadly possessed man boobs? Or maybe he was the friendless chap that decided to spend his Friday nights in the families guest bathroom getting to know himself rather than attending sporting events, parties and dances.
Did people refer to him as the Kool-Aid Man whenever he wore red? Well whatever it was, I'm sure that the popular chicks were much more into guys like the Hoochie Twins, which left a terrible scar on Jason Whitlock and his self esteem. But now, with the power of his pen, he has an avenue to payback all who have wronged him.
Unfortunately, what is most offensive about Whitlock is that as outspoken as he was regarding Serena's emotional outburst, he was equally as quick to come to the defensive of Michael Jordan and his embarrassing Hall of Fame speech when critics, justifiably, ripped him.
M.J. is the king and always will be, but considering the moment, he made himself look foolish, petty and extremely inarticulate. He is the greatest of all-time and we all know it, and there is definitely a place and time for him to express his discontent for everyone that doubted his abilities or slighted him during the course of his life, but he simply chose the wrong time.
He should write another book or something, but I think that I speak for millions when I say that on such a momentous occasion, I don't want to hear how his little league baseball coach should have let him bat clean up or how his high school prom date should have known to give him some because one day he was going to grow into those ears and change the game of basketball forever (or whatever the hell he was up there talking about).
Had that speech come from Serena, Whitlock would have torn her a new one, yet, instead, he praised the out of line legend for being honest!
But I do get it. Michael Jordan remains untouchable, even in retirement, and a man such as Jason would not dare cross him, it is much safer to keep shoveling the same non sense about Serena that he has been shoveling for years now.
Whitlock, she isn't fat, you are.
She isn't a coward, you are. She may be a bit of a loud mouth, but you are an even bigger loud mouth (and that is meant literally as well as figuratively). Now lets as for that underachieving thing you spoke of: 21 total Grandslam Titles, multiple endorsement deals, own fashion line, etc. vs. newspaper writer that made a few cameos on ESPN? You probably need to deal with your issues brotha and find a new woman to pick on, maybe the lady that replaced you on the Sports Reporters.
As for everyone else, I really think that the fact that celebrities and athletes get such special treatment throughout their lives causes to the rest of us to sort justify them being mistreated by the media as just something that "comes with the territory."
That is a really dangerous way to think. What is forgotten is that they are people, with normal human emotions and feelings, weaknesses and insecurities. They make the same mistakes that we do, theirs are just for the world to see and pick apart. When it comes down to it, who cares about Serena yelling at an official, she had it coming.
Just like the guy that cut you off in traffic this morning had it coming when you flipped him off and mouthed F@#K YOU to him!
Or at least, that's my opinion.
