Nur Energie has successfully developed and sold Greenfield PV projects in Italy and is currently focused on the licensing and permitting work for the European end of the TuNur export project
Nur Energie in Italy
PV Activities
Nur Energie started development of PV activities in Italy in 2009 and focused on small scale (1 to 5MW) Greenfield PV projects in the regions of Puglia and Lazio. At the time the market was very attractive with a favourable feed in tariff and an efficient licensing and permitting process for projects of this size.
Nur Energie's strategy was to develop projects and exit when they were ready for construction by selling to third party investors. The development activities included site evaluation, negotiation of the lease or purchase of land, obtaining grid connection, obtaining the required construction permit and choosing the most appropriate technology. Nur also undertook financial planning by obtaining debt and equity finance and negotiations with the EPC contractors.
Nur Energie successfully developed on sold several PV projects in Italy of 1MW each. Since this time the Italian PV market has become less attractive for independent developers and now Nur Energie's Italian activities are focused on the permitting and licensing of the TuNur cable project.
Export Project Activities
Nur Energie's primarily activities in Italy to day consist of the permitting and licensing work for the European end of the TuNur export project by means of its Italian subsidiary Nur Power Italy, which represents the "transco" or electricity transmission company for the TuNur project. In parallel Nur Energie is also working on securing off taker agreements for the power with various European, and Italian, counterparties.
Nur Energie identified Italy as being the most optimum landing point due to proximity to Tunisia, grid availability on the coast and its existing interconnection and energy flow with the rest of the European Grid.
The TuNur project (see link) uses an HVDC submarine cable to transport the power from Northern Tunisia to Europe. The TuNur transmission system, including land lines in Tunisia for approx. 600km, the submarine cable and the converter stations in both countries is being studied, designed and specified in Italy.

I never watch TV. But this week I popped corn and joined my family for a show.
There are few things that we watch on TV. Hockey, football, golf, NASCAR, and a couple cartoons. That sounds like a lot when I say it, but we don't watch any regular "shows", other than the cartoons. I have no clue what the cool sitcoms or dramas are.
I read about them on BooMama, though.
What few viewing options there are in our home, I don't even watch these things normally. I am a reformed TV junkie. With a to do list. I got other things to do!
This week the new season of the family's favorite show started. The kids and hubs had been waiting for it for weeks. I usually work while they're occupied. This time, I decided to take a break from my to do list and watch it with them.
I even popped corn. I had the brain storm to sprinkle on cinnamon sugar over the buttered popcorn. Oh my! That was an awesome brainstorm, if I do say so myself.
We had a little family feast, on a school night, watching TV together. It was only 30 minutes. I ate too much cinnamon popcorn. But, it was good.
Popping corn and watching a show together is a great way to stop and smell the roses.
The days are long, but the years are short. I don't want to miss them! For more short and sweet ideas on how to stop and smell the roses, to enjoy the little things in life, check out my 31 Days to Smell the Roses series.

By now, you've been inundated by analyses, explanations, speculation and excuses as to why the outcome of the 2016 Presidential Election shocked so many observers. Although some people correctly predicted the outcome, most people, including within the Trump campaign, weren't prepared for the result.
The examination of data, interviews, inside information and wild guesses will definitely go on for a while. There may never be a conclusion that draws universal acceptance but there are surely a number of most relevant factors. Whatever consensus is reached within the Democratic Party is of great consequence because it will impact the immediate response to the election as well as election strategies in the future.
For Democrats, the most dangerous path is to focus on Clinton's victory in the popular vote, point to a handful of anomalous events and conclude that nothing much needs to change. The candidate gave support to this position by arguing that James Comey's ill-considered and unprecedented intervention turned the tide against her. Comey's letter to Congressional leaders suggesting a reexamination of Clinton emails certainly had an impact, but was it decisive all by itself? Moreover, was it an October surprise that could have, indeed should have, been overcome?
The electoral college backlash is fundamentally silly. Everyone knew the rules for selecting presidents. It's easy to argue that her popular vote victory undercuts any claims that Trump has a "mandate" but, historically, mandates have turned out to be only whatever a president was able to make of them.
There are some more serious assertions to consider. One, which I certainly believe has a significant measure of truth to it, is that some portion of voters were unwilling to elect a woman to be president. A related notion is that Clinton carried, fairly and unfairly, a lot of baggage from her long career in public life. The rhetoric of the Trump campaign and the behavior of some of his supporters at rallies certainly provide support for both of these propositions.
It's true, however, that both of these problems were known before the campaign began and should have been factored into the strategy for winning. The degree of resistance to a woman candidate may have been greater than anticipated but was certainly apparent during the campaign.
As anyone who read my blogs during the campaign knows, I strongly supported Clinton. I voted for her, contributed money and volunteered in her campaign. In other words, I was a voter who was enthusiastic about the prospect of electing a woman to be president and I wasn't troubled by the various allegations against her.
Still, I know lots of Democrats who either supported her reluctantly or couldn't bring themselves to vote for her. If that problem existed within the Democratic base, it sharply underscores the difficulty her candidacy had in attracting independents and Republicans.
My point is that the campaign needed to have done a better job taking account of her negatives and the ambivalence that her candidacy provoked. Instead, as best I could tell as an observer, the primary strategic focus was on turning out the base without providing compelling substantive arguments for why Clinton should be elected.
I know that the campaign produced lots of policy papers and that she frequently urged voters to read them at HillaryClinton.com. That's not really an effective outreach program. Moreover, in the early post-mortems, she has been widely criticized for not powerfully promoting an effective economic message.
The numbers, though still not fully in, suggest that the Trump campaign was much more effective at turning out infrequent voters than was Clinton. He kept winning counties that had gone for Barack Obama in 2012.
In retrospect, almost everyone agrees that this was an election about change. Trump's labelling Clinton a Washington insider turned out to be an effective tactic. Her supporters focused on the value of her experience and dismissed him as an unqualified neophyte. However, for enough voters to make the difference in the election outcome, the opportunity for change was more compelling than the argument for experience.
Somehow, her campaign never fully caught the mood of the country. Instead, it focused almost exclusively on demonizing Trump, which was music to the ears of committed Clinton supporters, but fell flat will most other groups.
There's a lot of talk in the aftermath of the election about the extent to which this is a deeply divided country with everyone living in their own political and cultural bubble. Experienced political professionals in Clinton's campaign needed to see and hear beyond the bubble but apparently failed to do that.
I'm one of many people currently reading JD Vance's "Hillbilly Elegy" which describes the worldview and cultural environment of some of America's white working class. Trump understood their concerns intuitively while Clinton never tried to either listen or speak to them. Whether she could have connected is a reasonable question but her base did not produce enough votes to win in swing states that had been blue in recent elections.
At one point in the campaign, Trump argued that African-Americans should support him because "they had nothing to lose." My strong suspicion is that that assertion actually resonated quite effectively with white working class voters and may have been one of the keys to his victory.
In the last few weeks of the campaign, prior to Comey's involvement, the Clinton campaign seemed to get so confident that it was on its way to an easy victory that it started reallocating resources in an attempt to win long-shot states. Thinking there might be a path to the electoral votes of states like Arizona, Georgia and Missouri, the campaign stopped paying attention to Michigan, Wisconsin and Virginia.
Clinton lost the first two and barely held on in Virginia despite the conventional wisdom that her running mate's state was a slam dunk. In a similar blunder, Clinton did not make a single campaign visit to Wisconsin after the Democratic Convention.
We'll never know for sure if different strategies might have produced a different outcome. Clinton entered the campaign trying to make history as the first woman president, had some pre-existing negatives, encountered surprises outside her control and bet that promising a "third" Obama Administration would be a winning argument. Not all of Obama's voters went to the polls and the prospect backfired with many voters desperate for change.
Maybe the Trump phenomenon, a totally unconventional candidate running at a time of swirling national anxiety, would have prevailed no matter what. However, there's a real case to be made that the campaign committed serious strategic and tactical blunders that took an election that could have been won and turned it into a debacle, albeit a relatively close one.
If this analysis is even partly correct, a status quo approach that tinkers at the margins will leave the Democratic Party falling farther and farther into minority status. Demographics have not yet turned out to be destiny. Groups of voters don't fall neatly into line; they expect to be appealed to and wooed.
If the Democratic Party has any chance if being competitive in the next election cycles, addressing the reasons for its struggling fortunes and for a loss in a presidential election that most people expected to win needs to start immediately. The same old answers by the same old party leaders are unlikely to produce different results.

The Key Divisions in Car Dealerships
Car dealerships deal with selling cars, providing various car services, and provisions of vehicle parts for a specific type and brand of cars. It is an ever constantly rising business which appears to be among the largest type of industries in the world.

Leasing A Car Springfield MO
. Before a client can succumb to Buying A New Car Springfield MO or check out some other reputable car dealerships, it is important to learn some key divisions that these agencies may have. This would be beneficial such that the buyer/customer will know which department to approach when endeavoring to buy old or new car, secure some car parts, or seek for car repairs and other services.
Here are the key divisions or offices in car dealership:
Firstly, a well-known car dealership will have the SERVICE DEPARTMENT. A quality vehicle dealership works for servicing, assistance and fixes on automobiles bought by a customer from them. Car dealership service mechanics and servicemen are well-trained to operate on a certain model of cars. Most of these services performed are within the warranty agreement and the client therefore does not have to pay for it for some period as stated in the agreement.
Another important area in a great
New Car Deals Springfield MO
is the SALES DIVISION. Obviously, this is the sector responsible for selling or conveying customers to acquire brand new or second-hand cars. The salesmen or car dealers are regarded as the most important personnel in this division, and they are basically compensated through commission. The sales division also has the financial sales experts in their team to manage the financial matters of the sales including the loan options. In addition to that, the finance office in that department may offer additional contract that may be beneficial to both customer and the car dealership agency. Such contracts might be in the form of extension of service warranty coverage not included in the regular contract.
CAR PARTS AND ACCESSORIES DIVISION is another important area in any car dealership. This department provides vehicle parts and accessories that are exclusive for the car brand, model, as well as the manufacturer. However, supply of car components to other local car shops may also be possible via this division. In most form of car dealership, this department is not included for warranties even for a newly-purchased car which means that the car owner may have to pay for acquiring the car parts or accessories. Watch and learn more about car dealership at
Car dealerships can also have the VEHICLE BODY REPAIR DEPARTMENT. This is significantly different and separated from car parts and service divisions since this area will deal with the damages on a vehicle's body due to collision with other cars, scratches, and other related damages. Compensations for the repair or services are usually shouldered by the owner's car insurance agency not the dealership company.

Charlotte is North Carolina's largest city and the second most important financial center in the United States after New York City. The Charlotte area was the site of the nation's first major gold rush in the 19th Century. Between the late 19th and mid-20th Centuries, the city grew and evolved into a major modern city, a process assisted by such industries as railroads, construction, and power generation. For much of Charlotte's modernization period, asbestos was widely used by these industries and many of the city's residents were exposed to the toxic minerals in job sites, public buildings, and homes. This contributed to the nation's growing problem of asbestos-related diseases such as malignant mesothelioma.
If you or a loved have mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer, or asbestosis, you may be eligible for a large amount of compensation. Fill out our form to get a free Financial Compensation Packet. You'll learn about the top mesothelioma lawyers in Charlotte, how to get paid in 90 days, how to file a claim for the asbestos trust funds, and more.
History of Asbestos Use in Charlotte
Like many communities in the pre-Civil War South, Charlotte was slow to develop into a major city. Located in the region called the Backcountry, Charlotte was primarily a rural town for several decades after its incorporation in 1768. In the early part of the 19th Century, following the accidental finding of a 17-lb stone laden with gold, Charlotte became a mining town and the site of America's first gold rush.
Though much of the mining activity was centered on extracting gold, iron deposits were found throughout Mecklenburg County; several foundries, including the Vesuvius Furnace and Tizrah Forge melted various metals and manufactured finished goods, such as pots and kettles used for cooking.
Although the city grew in size steadily during its mining heyday, Charlotte retained its rural identity until the first passenger train arrived in 1852. This development, along with the establishment of the first telegraph and the growth of the textile industry, made Charlotte a more urban community with the ability to reach more markets for its goods.
For much of the late 19th Century and the early decades of the 20th, Charlotte was a major cotton distribution center and railroad hub. These two economic activities led to the city's first major population boom, which coincided with the creation of Charlotte's electric streetcar lines and the entry of the U.S. into World War I in 1917. The Army built a training center, Camp Greene, where thousands of soldiers trained before shipping out to France to fight in the war. Many World War I veterans returned to the area and settled in Charlotte.
Charlotte experienced the same economic boom-and-bust cycles that affected the nation during the 20th Century. The city was hit hard by the Great Depression, but federal programs helped ease unemployment by funding projects such as the building of what is now Charlotte Douglas International Airport. World War II saw the creation of the U.S. Rubber plant, which at one point employed 10,000 men and women in the Charlotte area.
After the war ended in 1945, Charlotte was fully a modern American city, with television stations, public buildings such as the Charlotte Coliseum and the adjacent Owens Auditorium, which was completed in September of 1955. Four years later, the Charlottetown Mall opened, becoming the first enclosed shopping center in the Carolinas.
Although these evolutionary changes were beneficial to Charlotte and its residents, most of them occurred at the same time that asbestos was widely used in the U.S. by various industries. Known since ancient times for their ability to withstand fire, high temperatures, electrical currents, and chemical reactions, asbestos minerals were extracted, processed, and sold to almost every industry in America during the Industrial Revolution and for many decades that followed.
Gold Bond/National Gypsum
Established in 1925, the National Gypsum Company is a leading manufacturer of construction and building products, headquartered in Charlotte. However, as with most manufacturing companies prior to the EPA regulations, the National Gypsum Company used asbestos heavily from the 1950s until the 1970s.
Most of the products made with asbestos were made under the Gold Bond Buildings Products label, including:
- Plasters
- Siding
- Cement board
- Panels
- Permaboard
- Humidity-proof panels
- Joint compounds
- Texture paint
As a result of the heavy asbestos usage, lawsuits soon followed against both National Gypsum Company and Gold Bond Building Products. In fact, the sheer amount of lawsuits resulted in the 1985 Wellington Agreement, in which the company moved all of their pending asbestos lawsuits to the Asbestos Claims Facility. In 1990, National Gypsum filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
In 1993, the company, now called NGC, created an asbestos trust fund and settlement deal that allowed them to never be sued for asbestos use again. However, they are now mandated to pay $347 million to the Asbestos Claims Management Corporation (ACMC).
Additional Job Sites and Businesses Associated with Asbestos Use in Charlotte
Charlotte's past as a mining and metalworks town, as well as the widespread use of asbestos in such industries as power generation and construction, has left its traces in several job sites and public buildings in the area. A large number of these sites are known to have been built with or to contain significant amounts of ACMs.

SALT LAKE CITY — Brad Parsons has smoked cigarettes for 38 years, and for much of that time he was using as much as 2 ½ packs per day.
However, with the help of electronic cigarettes sold at his two Utah VaporLoc locations, Parsons has experienced waking up without coughing spells and hiking without shortness of breath in Utah's plentiful mountain landscapes.
"Physiologically, my body is saying, 'Thank you very much for making the switch,'" he told members of Utah's Health and Human Services Interim Committee on Wednesday.
Parsons said he has more than 1,000 customers who also believe e-cigarettes have helped them curb their habit.
"They've tried the patch. They've tried the gum. They've tried everything else. This is the only thing that works," he said.
Parsons is hoping prospective regulation — both locally and federally — won't squash potential for the electronic vaporizers to act as cessation devices for individuals addicted to the nicotine in cigarettes.
The committee, on behalf of the state, is in the process of drafting a letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in support of the federal agency's intent to regulate the devices and cartridges containing nicotine.
The cause is led by Rep. Paul Ray, R-Clearfield, chairman of the committee, who claims his primary motive is "to get these out of the hands of children."
"Quit blaming the parents," he said, scolding industry representatives at Wednesday's meeting. "It's accessible. It's out there. It's getting into the hands of kids."
Ray said he wants to ban popular flavors of vapor cartridges, which he said are enticing kids to use e-cigarettes. And he supports the placement of an addiction warning on the products, as does the committee.
Parsons said few customers prefer e-cigarette cartridges with "regular tobacco flavoring" or menthol, similar to what they smoked in cigarettes. He said adults like the available options as much as kids would.
"My clients stopped smoking," Parsons said. "They went off traditional cigarettes. They don't want to smell that anymore."
The Utah Legislature has not passed any legislation that would regulate electronic cigarette use or sales in the state, but it has designated the vaporizing products similar to tobacco, which is regulated and not permitted to be sold to individuals under age 19 in Utah.
Without state or federal regulation, local municipalities are taking action on the vaping trend. Davis County in February adopted rules limiting the amount of nicotine in e-cigarette cartridges, as well as the sale to minors. Local regulations also require the liquid to have childproof caps and clear labeling of its contents.
Other municipalities and health departments, including Bear River, are considering approval of their own rules regarding electronic cigarettes.
Rep. Brian Greene, R-Pleasant Grove, cautioned that the committee's support should only be for sales regulations and enforcement and not anything that would potentially limit further research on the product, as little remains known about the addiction potential of electronic cigarettes and their use in helping with smoking cessation.
"We should encourage scientific research on this," Greene said, adding that allowing the products to be advertised and sold for cessation purposes, "if and when it becomes proven for that," should be acceptable.
The FDA will accept state comments on the matter until July 9. The Utah committee intends to participate, including signatures from its chairmen and quite possibly the committee as a whole, if the time permits.
Parsons is still smoking the nicotine-equivalent of about four cigarettes a day, but he said he feels better getting it the electronic way.
And while he doesn't peddle electronic cigarettes as a cessation device, he believes it helped him get away from his lifelong smoking habit.
"My body is telling me it is much better," Parsons said. "I can go hiking in the mountains. I don't wake up every morning coughing up a lung. I don't wake up coughing at all."

Problem with Firefox and LinkStash
Discussion of general topics about Mozilla Firefox
15 posts • Page 1 of 1
Hi, I'm trying LinkStash, it worked well for me until Firefox was updated with the latest version.
LinkStash works well with other browsers, except for Firefox, which now displays a message saying that it does not detect the browser.
I suppose that someone used LinkStash, because, from the comments, they say that it is one of the best bookmark/favourite administrators, if anyone knows why it doesn't work, and how to fix it, I would appreciate it if you would comment something, since I tried to ask on the official page, but it doesn't let me finish the registration process, anyway, I think they would say that LinkStash works well, that it would be a Firefox problem, because as far as I have seen it has been working, and since the last updates have stopped working.
P.D. Sorry if I don't get my typing right, I use Google to translate.
Linkstash is a 3rd-party software - i suggest you to ask support
claim help because you have paid for it.
firefox did not changed anything in structure, maybe in files - and linkstash is not able to read the new format -> remain linkstash problem -> support. sorry.
Thank you, I have already sent them an email, to see if they will respond, because I see that since 2015 they have not updated it, they have still abandoned the application.
i did not look at it. could also mean that software do not rely on files, only on locations.
a quick test. it need the exported bookmarks.html and a browser location. due limitations of the portable (no trial period) i cant make it open firefox.
although it is outdated it works with the exported bookmarks - should work.
you have to open settings if and where firefox is located and found.
another quick test with the installation.
worked here.
do you start firefox with the parameter -no-remote which makes firefox do not react on further calls!?
Hi, I've been checking settings for a while now, and I don't quite understand the evidence you're telling me.
I have tried from about:config, and modifying the true value of browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML, and it still doesn't work.
The bookmarks are not what I want to export, I try to put the web page I am currently viewing in the browser.
library - >export as html -> bookmarks.html
import in linkstash...
linkstash calls firefox with command line.
thats how it works.
I've tried again, I've exported the walkers from Firefox to bookmarks.html format
The bookmarks.html file was imported into linkstash, and was added without problems.
I opened Firefox from the command line
Then I tried to add to linkstash that active page that shows Firefox, and it can't be added, it tells me that there is no browser running.
have you inserted and chosen firefox as i told you?
see image
insert path to firefox and chose with the dropdown!
Yes, I had it configured as you have it, I even added the old and forced the configuration, so that it doesn't take it as the Windows default, which is the Firefox browser, but with that configuration I tell you that it is Firefox.
It has nothing to do with the fact that Firefox is 64bit, and what's another thing that the new Firefox doesn't have now, Flash or Java, is that I don't know what to think anymore. And the e-mail I sent to tech support, they don't seem to want anything to do with it.
image please.
If you were planning to put the message that shows when you can't save the bookmark, but don't know how to put LinkStash in English so you can read the message
this is the text of the message
No hay marcadores a añadir. Esto podría deberse a que no hay navegadores ejecutándose, o la página que quiere añadir no se ha cargado completamente.
Si está usando Chrome, por favor descargue el complemento para Chrome desde xxxxxx y use ese complemento para añadir marcadores
Google Translation:
There are no bookmarks to add. This could be because there are no browsers running, or the page you want to add is not fully loaded.
If you are using Chrome, please download the Chrome plug-in from xxxxxx and use that plug-in to add bookmarks
linkstash failure - outdated as you wrote. firefox has changed and linkstash do not recognise any firefox again. sorry.
at least pretty pointless that linkstash need import to work proper. that is a design flaw for all programs that had rely on a html file and can not work on the places.sqlite. which ofc has advantages because they would destroy firefox bookmarks, history and more.
abandonned seems right because if they really would like to earn money they would have improved. there are others to name link LinkMan/Outertech - but those could also not create a webextension for firefox. linkman stalled on Januar 2017 - no quantum support.
Thanks Brummelchen, I'll wait to see if they respond to the email I sent them, but if they haven't fixed the problem between Firefox and linkstash, I doubt they'll bother to respond.
I'm going to see the LinkMan application, see what it looks like, and if you can export now the bookmarks with their corresponding groups that I have in linkstash

Cliches in Literature
A cliché, which is a French for stereotype, refers to a group of words that have been used together so often, their meaning has lost its force. An expression like "I turned to stone," could have at one time brought great imagery to the mind, but over time, familiarity tends to make the reader not fully consider the imagery being alluded to.The use of cliché throughout The Inferno can be contrasted with the school of modern writing, where the prevailing thought is that most of the time writers should try to avoid using cliché's for the sake of the reader losing full consideration of ideas being presented. In his essay "Politics and the English Language", George Orwell writes "If you use ready-made phrases, you not only don't have to hunt for words; you also don't have to worry about the rhythms of your sentences, since these phrases are generally so arranged to be euphonious."

Tom McCarthy's "The Visitor" (from Overture Films) debuted solidly with an estimated $88,000 on 4 screens, for an estimated $22,000 per screen average, according to indieWIRE Box Office Tracking (iW BOT) estimates from Rentrak this afternoon. "The Visitor" topped Fox Searchlight's doc "Young@Heart," also on four screens, which made an estimated $52,312 for an estimated $13,000 per screen. Since debuting on Wednesday, the 2007 Los Angeles Film Festival hit has earned more than $63,000. An English-language version of Sony Pictures Classics' "Persepolis" opened quietly over the weekend. On 136 screens it made just $81,297 according to an SPC estimate, for an average of only $598. So far, the combined grosses for both versions of the film are at more than $4.3 million. In its second weekend, "Flight of the Red Balloon" (from IFC Films) made an estimated $25,152 from two screens (an average of $12,576) and about $76,000 so far, while "My Blueberry Nights" (from The Weinstein Company) made more than $45,000 on six screens (for a $7,614 average).

With a new film from Francois Ozon already in their back pocket, Sundance Selects has made yet another purchase coming out of this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Variety reports that the company has picked up the US rights to Blue Is The Warmest Color, then newest film from auteur Abdellatif Kechiche. Starring Lea Seydoux, the film premiered at Cannes, and follows a teenage girl who falls for a stranger, only to encounter a mysterious blue haired girl who changes everything.
Now, the film has gotten some positive reviews, so it sounds like yet another great film from the Secret Of The Grain director, and Sundance Selects' involvement with the film is really quite exciting. A Criterion Collection home video release seems all but inevitable here, and maybe it will mark an influx of IFC/Sundance Selects titles that Criteiron brings to DVD and Blu-ray. It's nearly three hours in length, so it's going to be a lengthy watch, but it appears to be one of this year's most exciting foreign efforts.
It's also based on a book from Julie Maroh, which can be pre-ordered here.

D.C. to Host US Premiere of Chocolate Underground
posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
The annual Washington, DC Cherry Blossom Anime Marathon will host the US premiere of the anime version of Alex Shearer's Bootleg novel on Saturday April 3 at the Freer and Sackler Asian art galleries. The film opened in Japan in January 2009 under the satirical novel's Japanese name, Chocolate Underground.
Like the novel, the film and the earlier net-streamed version follow two English boys who create a bootleg chocolate factory after their country bans chocolate. Production I.G (Ghost in the Shell, Kimi ni Todoke) and Trance Arts (The Prince of Tennis) had premiered their anime version on Japanese mobile phones on Valentine's Day 2008. The theatrical release added 20 minutes of new footage. Takayuki Hamana (The Prince of Tennis, Library War) directed the project.
The marathon will also screen Masahiro Ando and BONES' samurai anime film Sword of the Stranger and Mamoru Oshii's Jin-Roh - The Wolf Brigade. The event will also host a cosplay contest.

Tiki Toss 3D Review
Beach sports are a great way to pass the time while enjoying the blistering heat of the sun. Pub sports are a great way to pass the time while keeping out of the frigid and unforgiving cold. Tiki Toss 3D, it would seem, is a game born out of both environments. At the very least, it's the sort of game that would be a welcome addition to any pub or beachside patio.
In theory, Tiki Toss 3D should have infinite appeal to the Skee-Ball crowd. A game that's similar in spirit yet wholly unique in gameplay, this tropical challenge tasks players to swing a ring tied to a rope onto a hook that's screwed into a board. Every time you get the ring on to the hook, you score a point. It's as simple as that.
But simple isn't always a good thing. Sure there's a great deal of challenge in actually getting the ring on to the hook, but Tiki Toss 3D offers little more than what we've just described. Different modes simply change the number of throws you'll have. Modifiers spring up at random, offering things like 5x the points if you manage to score on a certain turn, or daring you to go double or nothing – but these little tweaks do nothing enhance the overall gameplay.
It's not that the Tiki Toss experience is dull or uninteresting – but it does manage to get repetitive. Had the developers decided to stray from their accurate portrayal of the beachside sport and incorporate features that you could only see in a video game – offering multiple targets, or making the hook move, or changing its height after each throw – you'd have a solid title with a great deal of variety. Instead you're left with the same experience throw after throw.
Tiki Toss 3D doesn't even offer a multiplayer component, forcing you to check OpenFeint leaderboards if you're interested in engaging in the naturally competitive nature of the game. A game like this is simply begging for pass'n'play.
The presentation here is something of a mixed bag as well. Visually the game more than holds up, offering a charming beach resort vibe with some basic 3D modelling. The music is the best part of the package, offering up some outstanding modern tunes with a Carribbean influence. But the game is often hampered by it's annoying sound effects and commentaries from other beach folks, who are constantly telling you things like "Dude, get it together," and "yeah buddy!"
Tiki Toss is simple, engaging fun – but due to a total lack of variety, it gets old real quick. If you're already a fan of the beach sport, or don't mind that the game feels identical from your first throw to you last, you'll find that Tiki Toss 3D should more than satisfy your quotient for a quick yet challenging experience. If you're the type of gamer who demands more from their iPhone purchases, you're going to find this offer to be as skimpy as the bikini-clad folks you'd normally find playing it on the beach.

CLEMENTS, Ala. (WHNT) - One week ago today a series of tornadoes ripped through parts of the Tennessee Valley. At least one of those hit Limestone County, causing more than 4 million dollars in damage.
The progress people have made there in the last week has been remarkable. But there's still a long way to go and a lot left to do.
One of the big questions is when will FEMA open a disaster relief center?
A spokesperson with the Limestone County EMA tells us it's going to be about a week before the FEMA office is open and operating. We understand one FEMA official is in the area now. He is reportedly gathering information related to the clean-up of debris. It will be several more days before FEMA officials are here taking applications from individuals affected by the storm.
The American Red Cross set-up a disaster relief office at the Friendship Methodist Church on Lucas Ferry Road. They're taking applications from storm victims right now.
"I can't even over-emphasize to your viewing public how much need is in this community. A lot of housing needs and it may be difficult to find rentals so that's probably going to be a problem that we'll be facing a little further downstream," according to American Red Cross spokesperson Charlotte Simpson.
Meanwhile the disaster relief center that was at Blue Springs Elementary School all last week has been moved. The school is being cleaned and readied for students. The relief center is now at the Seven Mile Post Road Church with hot meals, showers and even laundry facilities.
Sonja Hayes is with the Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief Organization. "So we have done a breakfast today and a lunch today and we'll do a dinner tonight and tomorrow we'll start with hot meals."
The relief center at Clements Baptist Church re-opened at 9 Monday morning and there was a line of people waiting to get in. They also opened a day care facility for parents who need child care while they work around their damaged homes. Samaritan's Purse, Franklin Graham's disaster relief ministry, is also set-up at Clements.
"What we continue to need is volunteers, hands and feet. People to go out and assist these people with debris clean-up," according to Samaritan's Purse spokesperson Wayne Shoemaker. He adds, "We're doing trees, tarps, things like that, possession recovery for folks who have things we can help get those items from their home and into a pod or something like that. So that's the kind of help we need right now."
And the appeal for volunteers is gong out to individuals, groups, and businesses. Just check in at the Clements Baptist Church and they'll direct you to where help is needed. As for FEMA, we're not sure when they'll get here but you can go on-line and pre-register for FEMA assistance.

'Jingle Bell Doc' is one blowout holiday show

If your ideal Christmas concert is something subdued, simple and solemn, then this weekend's Minnesota Orchestra pops programs are definitely not for you. The orchestra's longtime pops conductor, Doc Severinsen, has returned to town to lead an extravaganza as flamboyant as his eye-popping wardrobe.
On Friday night, the Minnesota Orchestra was one of five ensembles on stage for arrangements of Christmas music that swung, swooned, soothed and skipped along pleasantly. The groups crowding the stage of Minneapolis' Orchestra Hall traded tunes when they weren't collaborating, giving the concert the flavor of a holiday buffet. And thanks to Severinsen's enthusiastic leadership (and ebullient boosterism), it proved to be an entertaining blockbuster of a concert.
When the orchestra wasn't lending its sumptuous sound to some lush arrangement of a seasonal song, the Minnesota Chorale was hypnotizing with its harmonies. Or Twin Cities Bronze was filling the hall with the sound of hand bells. Or Stillwater's Ascension Youth Choir was reminding everyone of the special quality children's voices bring to carols. Or, perhaps most enjoyably, Severinsen was bopping along with a big band, scaling the peaks of his trumpet's range.
While the results were always admirable when Severinsen let one of the ensembles strut its stuff, the concert was at its most thrilling when the assembled multitudes joined forces. A John Rutter arrangement of "Deck the Halls" was a fine forum for the Minnesota Chorale's talents, but passing the tune off to the bebopping big band was a welcome choice, too.
Other impressive performances came when the Minnesota Chorale's leader, Kathy Saltzman Romey, took the podium for a lovely arrangement of "What Child is This?" And when Severinsen's solo trumpet soared atop the orchestra on "O Holy Night," his high notes proved as exciting as back in his days leading the "Tonight Show" orchestra.
A pretty straight reading of the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's "Messiah" proved a full-voiced finale for what had the air of one last big musical blowout on the holiday calendar.

Bad English
A few days ago, I wrote about how "sick books," represented by a book called "English For You and Me," is a betrayal of the next generation. In the February 2, 2009 issue of the Inquirer, Education Secretary Jesli Lapus makes a pretty good excuse (if you will) for the errors in the textbook:
"When something like this crops up, we always tell Mr. (Antonio Calipjo) Go that rather than we read it in the papers first – and then it's like that's the end of it, he already scored – if you really want to help, talk to the author," Lapus said.
"Some of (the alleged errors) are poetry so it's not grammatical. It's always misleading if you only use one line or a few phrases," he added.
"It's like you write a book and then you use my own writings as part of your book to prove a point and then you mix up what you pick up from me. That does not give the complete sense," Lapus said.
– Report by Philip Tubeza
"Lapus trying to stop go: That's poetry"
Philippine Daily Inquirer, February 2, 2009
Let's not get into philosophical rants on Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida: I leave that to the philosophers. Yet after reading bollocks passed off as "poetry," I think I know where they're coming from. After all, you can play the "so-called error" card these days. Then again, I'm not an educator, I don't have Ph.D. credentials, but I think I'm correct when I point these out:
- "But what is more important is that she lives in a place that, to Celine, is drowned in mystery." – Sentences should not begin with the word "but." Unless mystery is a liquid that causes flooding and death by edema, the proper term is "shrouded in mystery," not "drowned."
- "'Gem, what souvenir did you take from lola's place? I had a dragonfly with a body like jewels and wings like lace,' said Cindy. 'I got a butterfly with flower designed wings.'" – "Body like jewels…" I don't get it. I think that there are better similes and metaphors to describe the body of a dragonfly than jewels; or at the very least, use the term "bejeweled." "Flower designed wings," I don't get it, either. Flowers do not design wings; the proper term is "wings with flower designs," or "wings with floral designs."
"So-called error?" Hmmm…
I won't go into the issue of kickbacks or whatnot taking place in the publishing industry; the only pieces of evidence that exists for me to opine, at this point, are the grammatical errors and awkwardly-worded sentences already presented by Go.
Let me outline my disagreements with Sec. Lapus' arguments this way:
- Grammatical errors cannot be excused or passed off as poetry. Even poetic statements should follow the rules of grammar. Let's take that one step further: poetry is an application of correct grammar.
- Once a thought is committed into text, it is no longer under the complete control of the author. All texts are as much interpreted by the readers as they are messages conveyed by authors. Let's put that simply: reading is interpretation.
- Go, like almost everyone else in this country with a rudimentary knowledge of the English language, has the right and responsibility to point out errors when they see them. That is part and parcel of the democratic process; it is not "acting like a pontiff." Let me put that another way: education is an application of freedom of speech.
What makes this oppressive, in my view, is that all of these things take place in classrooms, where our children are supposed to learn the correct way of doing things. A good education is the key to economic and social survival; it is that one entitlement that serves as the great equalizer. Education levels the playing field for all the injustices that take place in the world: it is a way out of the chains of poverty as much as it is a way out of the chains of ignorance.
Yet even something as noble and as fair as education is not without corruption; it is tainted with so much injustice. Almost every positive attribute of education is offset and weighed down by what makes our educational system so wrong: mediocrity, incompetence, and "sick books," among other things.
In many ways, the educational system that we have becomes a way into poverty and ignorance.
For all its flaws, English is a way into economic independence and social emancipation. An above-average grasp of English will get you a job somewhere. The importance of correct English cannot be over-emphasized in the kind of society we live in, and should not be under-emphasized in favor of making books cheaper, and selling off the future of our children to the lowest bidder. As a taxpayer, I would rather have expensive books that teach children the correct use of English than to have cheap books that teach children bad English.
I may be a grammar Nazi at times, but in this case, my annoying habit or character trait is not without justification. Kids go to school because they need to learn the right way of doing things. The errors presented by Go is the equivalent of teaching kids that 1 + 1 = 3, or that the knee-bone is connected to the elbow.
Proper English is not about perpetuating an employment phenomenon of call center agents and BPO workers. The fact that our educational system offers English in the curriculum means that the basics of English must be taught properly, so that it would be used properly. I'm not an English teacher, but I believe that teaching English begins and ends with proper grammar and correct spelling. Poetic statements can be saved for literature appreciation classes, when students already have an adequate grasp of the rules of English.
One final note:
- "People are active individuals. Day in and day out, their lives are full of spontaneous activities. They make actions through what we call 'dreams.'" – The statement does not make sense.

First and Second Leagues return to Ribeira Brava
Ribeira Brava, on the Portuguese island of Madeira, will host both the European Combined Events Team Championships First and Second League competitions on 6-7 July 2019.
It is not the first time that Ribeira Brava has hosted both competitions, they stepped in at the last moment in 2014 to host the First League as well as the already-announced Second League – having also hosted the Second League in 2011 and 2013 – after political circumstances meant that the event had to be moved from original hosts Ukraine.
The success of having both leagues staged together for the first time, with obvious cost-effective benefits, has developed into a trend and both leagues have been staged at the same venue ever since with Inowroclaw, Poland, and the Spanish town of Monzon following in Ribeira Brava's footsteps in 2015 and 2017 and taking on the responsibility of playing host to two leagues.
This year, the competitions will be staged at the Ribeira Brava's Centro Desportivo da Madeira, which was built in 2007 and can boast of a 2300-capacity grandstand in a facility of over 60,000m2.
Picturesquely nestling alongside one of Madeira's famous volcanic – but extinct – mountains, in addition to a modern athletics stadium with full sporting, medical and technical facilities, alongside the competition area are two football fields – one grass and one synthetic – which provide more-than-adequate space for athletes to warm up or relax between their individual events.
Almost perfect weather can also be predicted with the average temperatures in July oscillating between 23 degrees Celsius during the day to 17 degrees at night; and rain in Madeira in July is almost unheard of.
The competition in both leagues is expected to be fierce.
In 2017, less than 2000 points covered the top five teams in the First League, a relatively small amount taking into consideration the scoring system of combining the scores to each nation's top three decathletes and heptathletes.
It could be an intriguing and engaging battle for promotion. Poland were relegated from the Super League in 2017 but historically they have proven they can more than hold their own at this level by getting promoted in 2015 while Sweden and Finland were within touching distance of getting promoted in 2017 but eventually finished third and fourth.
Czech Republic surprised everyone in 2017 when they finished down in fifth place in the First League but with their history of producing multi-event exponents, they will certainly be looking to improve on that showing this time around while Lithuania showed enough strength in depth when winning the Second League in 2017 to suggest that they could also be battling for a place in the top half of the First League and maybe promotion.
Should they be re-instated for international competition in time for this competition, 2014 and 2015 Super League winners Russia will also compete in the First League in 2019.
Hosts Portugal were relegated from the First League in 2017 and will compete in the Second League competition but with local support behind them, they can be expected to challenge strongly to regain their place, along with the other 2017 relegated team Romania.

Background :
The solvation (dissolving process) of a salt molecule is not instantaneous, and not all different kinds of salt molecules can be dissolved.
When a salt molecule starts to dissolve in water, it first dissociates. This means that a salt molecule is split by the water molecules into its two ions (the Wasser program can only simulate salts consisting of cations from the alkali group (I) and anions from the halide group (VII)). After dissociation of the salt into ions, each ion is hydrated -- surrounded by a shell of water molecules.
System settings : Start with the NVT ensemble, fix the temperature at 298 K and the density at . Try to insert a salt molecule at an appropriate site. (If this does not work, lower the density to about and without waiting for the system to equilibrate, insert a salt molecule. After insertion, restart the simulation and slowly raise the density to again.)

Nearly fourteen minutes had gone by in the Boston Bruins' match with
the Tampa Bay Lightning before Chris Kelly put the first Bruins' shot on
Bolts' netminder Ben Bishop - in between the opening faceoff and that
point in the game came seven Tampa shots on Tuukka Rask and a Shawn
Thornton bout with 6' 6" defenseman Keith Aulie.
But no scoring and no discernible momentum shifts either, just a pickup game with a brief scuffle and a couple of uneventful power plays - and then the second period happened.
|Bruins' Milan Lucic chases the puck in the third period
Just 27 seconds into the middle frame, Tampa Bay's Ondrej Palat's shorthanded goal opened the flood gates, the Lightning scoring three times in less than 10 minutes of play and the Bruins twice, turning a scoreless tie at the first intermission into a brief, dazzling display of offensive firepower...
...Johnny Boychuk hitting the equalizer midway through the final frame, Rask stoning all six shots he faced in the shootout - the iron post stopping the seventh - and Riley Smith ending his 11-game scoring slump beating Bishop with the game winner as Boston earned the extra point by beating the Lightning 4-3 in Tampa Bay on Saturday night.
Palat, Mark Barbario and Valtteri Filppula scored for the floundering Lightning, who dropped 13 points behind the Bruins in the Atlantic Division and to the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race - while Daniel Paille, Carl Soderberg, Boychuk and Smith found twine for Boston, who once again climbed to within a point of the conference-leading Pittsburgh Penguins.
After the scoreless first period, Tampa took the lead almost immediately after the second period faceoff, Tyler Johnson picking up a loose puck in the Bruins' attacking zone in the waning seconds of a Boston power play that carried over from the opening frame and split the Bruins' defensive pairing of Dougie Hamilton and Zdeno Chara, prompting Rask to sprint from the crease to make a play on the puck...
...poke-checking the puck away from Johnson but right to Palat who wristed an easy one into the open net for a 1-0 Tampa Bay lead - the Lightning making it a two goal lead less than four minutes later as defenseman Mark Barbario fired a rocket from the high point that a screened Rask saw at the last second second and was able to get down on his pads, but the momentum from the drive helped the puck squirt through Rask's legs.
The Bruins were suddenly back on their heels, as it were, until Gregory Campbell sent an indirect pass to Paille off of the penalty box dashers, Paille gathering it in and initiating a self pass, fighting through the Tampa defense to gain possession of the tumbling puck and finally settling it down as he passed through the low slot moving from Bishop's glove to stick side, moving the puck to his backhand and flipping the no-look shot past a shocked Bishop, and the Bruins had life.
Even more so after Soderberg potted the equalizer a minute-and-a-half later, pulling in a Chris Kelly pass from the bench-side dashers and breaking in cleanly toward Bishop, giving the suddenly besieged netminder a shoulder feign to open up the five hole and the big Swede slid the puck cleanly between his legs, an exasperated Bishop slumping to his knees.
But the tie lasted all of one minute, as Filppula took a beautiful feed from Palat from the boards off an attacking zone faceoff and easily beat a surprised Rask from the slot - a 3-2 lead that the Lightning took into the room at the second intermission.
The Bruins had the game tied six minutes into the final frame, but while Patrice Bergeron and Chara were celebrating as Bergeron had jammed the puck inside Bishop's stick side post, the referee called no joy and whistled the play dead, disallowing the goal - but Boychuk did even the score at the eight minute mark with one of his patented "Johnny Rocket" drives from the high point that Bishop had no chance at stopping.
From that point on, the Bruins dominated the ice, the defensemen planting any Lightning player who tried to get to a puck in the attacking zone by taking away middle ice and forcing everything to the wings, but Bishop turned away several Bruins' scoring chances for the last half of the period, bringing on free hockey...
...which Boston dominated as well, the brutality of the Bruins' play carrying over into a furious five minute four-on-four target practice on Bishop, who came up with stops on four consecutive shots from the slot, sending the game into the dreaded shootout.
In the shootout, both goalies turned away the first six shots they faced, Rask stoning the likes of Filppula, Steven Stamkos and Palat, while Bishop got the best of Bergeron, Brad Marchand, David Krejci and three others - but in the seventh round Tampa's Richard Panik had Rask beaten but elevated the puck into the corner of the glove-side crossbar, setting the stage for Smith's heroics.
Smith's curl and drag dangler giving Boston their fourth consecutive victory as they now head to Sunshine, Florida to meet the Panthers on Sunday before heading to Montreal to face the hated Canadiens on Wednesday.

Originally built by Bernie Smith in 1973 The property served as a private family home until all of the children had grown up and left home. With the international spotlight firmly focused on South Africa during the Nineties the family took a collective decision to transform this lovely venue into The Bay Atlantic Guest House during the course of 1996.
As a ' Family ' We pride ourselves on our efficient, friendly and personal service and will be of help no matter how big or small the need may be.
"The panoramic view is perfect here. We parked up, then walked down to the beautiful beach and then had an amazing choice of quality, affordable restaurants. Strolled back & relaxed. We found it perfect for Signal Hill & Table Mtn. The staff & food were excellent." – TripAdviser.co.za review
As of 1 June 2017, the Bay Atlantic Guest House will unfortunately no longer accept American Express Cards or Diners Club Cards.

I'm afraid I can't avoid it.
I feel compelled to add my two cents' worth to the debate on book covers, and confess that I am a little ambivalent about their possible future demise.
On the one hand, it was never the book cover that drew me to the book. It was always the author. I remember, as a teenager, reading all the self-revised works of Graham Greene in a library edition with dull green covers and only the author name and book title. I didn't care about the cover. Only about the content (as an aspiring young writer I was fascinated by his notes on why he had cut or revised passages in later editions).
On the other hand, when I later bought those same books in paperback edition to read again, I was very much drawn by the covers - watercolors painted by the artist Paul Hogarth who, over 20 years, had travelled to all the major locations in Greene's books to paint them and capture their atmosphere.
And that he most certainly did. Those covers actually added something to the books. So much so that when Hogarth published a collection of his watercolors of 'Greeneland', entitled "Graham Greene Country", I rushed out to buy it and spent many hours savoring them. Sadly, I loaned the book to my daughter and never saw it again (a salutory lesson about lending books, even to the people you love)!
Although I was interested to read Evelyn Waugh because of his reputation, the artwork on the covers of the famous Penguin collection, by design group Bentley/Farrell/Burnett, was a real add. The pastel art deco imagery somehow caught the era perfectly, and opened the door for the reader into an age gone by. Take a look at them here.
But I can't help thinking that the new media offers new, and possibly better, opportunities. We should look at how the next generation musicians have adapted to the post LP era. I recently downloaded "Battle Studies", the latest album by John Mayer (a towering talent in music and lyrics), to discover an electronic package that went well beyond the music alone. There was, of course, the cover art - the signature image for the album, used on all the websites. There was a video of one of the tracks, a video on the making of the video, one with the behind-the-scenes story of the album, and an interview with Mayer himself. There was access to all the lyrics, and notes on some of the songs, along, of course, with a full list of participating musicians. There were also four demo tracks. Much more than you would ever have got from an LP cover.
Why can't we do the same with books? You will still always need a cover - the image that will be associated with the book on all the sites where it can be downloaded, an image that will still attract readers to take a look, or not.
Along with downloading a preview chapter for free, why not include a book trailer? And when the book is purchased in full, why not talk to your readers personally in a video, discussing the ideas and thoughts behind the book, the research that went into it, future plans. You could either deliver this to camera, or in the form of an interview.
You could also include music and images that you feel provide the reader with a sense of the book. Some of the five-minute videos I assembled of my research in China, set to appropriate music, attracted a lot of people to buying books from my China series. Take a look at one here...
Any, or all of these things, can be accessed by readers either before or after they read the book - as a teaser, or as an aftertaste.
So let's not mourn the passing of an era too much. Let us celebrate the successes of the past, but grab the opportunities of the future.

for personal growth and recovery
Alcohol and other drug addictions are chronic illnesses that affect nearly 1 million Illinoisans. Many of us know someone who suffers from substance abuse addiction, a disease that can take over a person's life and cause devastating consequences for addicts and their families. Addiction is a brain disease, in the same sense that hearts or lungs may become diseased. When alcohol or other drugs are consumed, they activate or imitate the brain chemistry associated with feelings of well-being, pleasure, and euphoria. Although a person does control the initial decision to have a drink or try a drug, once the alcohol or other drugs are in the body, they begin to modify the person's brain neurochemistry of pleasure. As the modification occurs, the brain begins to become dependent on the chemical intake of the alcohol or other drugs, causing the person to become addicted. Brain dependency makes it extremely difficult for the addicted person to stop using the alcohol or other drugs. Research has shown that addiction treatment can benefit an individual, just as treatment for other chronic diseases like hypertension or diabetes.
The Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (DHS/DASA), administers a network of community based alcohol and other drug treatment programs. Treatment services are delivered under contract through a network of 170 agencies at over 200 community-based sites. The treatment system provides evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation to alcohol and other drug-abusing persons and their families.
This system enables patients to be assessed and treated as close to their home communities as possible, allows communities to take ownership of their programs and facilitates public information and other adjunct services. Treatment services are delivered through a continuum approach, with individual patients moving from one level of care to another, based upon their assessed needs. While IMHC provides for outpatient Level I and Level II treatment, the third component in the level of treatment would be Detoxification. Detoxification provides immediate and short-term clinical support for persons in the withdrawal process. Detoxification programs are, for the most part, open to admissions 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and are most often furnished in a residential setting.

So I've already talked about how great my Saturday in Everland was spent, but in all actuality, my Sunday was also pretty epic. A bunch of Now Bar people got together at a school in the area to make use of their sporting facilities. The plan was to celebrate our friend Andrew's birthday with a BBQ and a game of softball, but Andrew didn't even show up in the end. I still don't know what happened there! Anyway, though, the game went on and so did the BBQ and the Cass-ah drinking. It was totes fun.
My friend Veronica has a hedgehog! This one is not hers. But it belongs to her friends, who I met at the game. They had their two hedgehogs on an outing, and they were the cutest things I've ever seen. I kinda want one (...NO Janine, STOP).
Mich brought out his diggery doo. He's a pretty talented guy. Nova Scotian, too. Go fig.
To my delight my two yoga buddies showed up, too! I was so happy to see Grace and Rachel (I should note that Grace and I became friends while in Korea through my brother's girlfriend, who is good friend's with Grace's sister back in Canada...very random, eh?)
Ciara and Michelle taking a break from the festivities.
I'm saying "for God's sake, why don't you just SMILE at the damn camera?" all the while failing to do so myself. I'm such a hypocrite.
My pal Jeremy was purposely missing out on the ultimate frisbee game until people started taking off articles of clothing. Suddenly he was gone to play and we were all left looking puzzled.
Me and Patrick and Michelle and Kim were the only ones not playing ultimate frisbee by the end. I'm not coordinated at the best of times, but after two beers with a new pair of glasses and it being nighttime, I would have hindered the team rather than helped. Actually, I hindered my softball teamearlier in the day. And every sports team I've ever been on, for that matter.
The frisbee game was divided into the girls against the guys. This is the winning picture! I'd show you the guys' losing picture, but they had lost their pants by that time.
