Latest from all the library blogs.
If you missed seeing the movie based on Kathryn Stockett's The Help earlier this month at DeMotte, there is another showing Tuesday Jan. 10 at 5:30 p.m.at the Rensselaer Library and Thursday, Jan. 26 at 10 a.m. at the Wheatfield Library.
If you wanted to take a trip this weekend, there are worst places than Chicago, where it's the last weekend for the Dr. Seuss & The Art of Invention exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry.
"What's shakin', bacon?" I love that Progressive Insurance commercial. There stands a woman, buying insurance from Progressive, and hovering in the background are her current insurance agents, who not only can't remember how long she's been a customer, but can't get her name straight even after she says it out loud.
Welcome to the new JCPL website! Take a look around, knock some dust off the displays.
In a way a new website is kind of like moving into a new library home in the physical world. The books are the same, and a lot of the features seem familiar, but there are new paths to get used to, and new nooks and crannies to explore everywhere. Trust us when we say this is not last year's web library.
"You'll shoot your eye out!" Ralphie's mother in "A Christmas Story" knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that if he got that Red Ryder BB Gun that he wanted so badly for Christmas, he would definitely shoot his eye out.
Shopping around is a great way to unearth deals and bargains. The best bargain, by far this holiday season, is right in your hometown, and the deals right at your fingertips.
Remember the story problems that we did as kids in school? Here is a story problem: If today is November 9 and there are 30 days in November and thirty one days in December and Christmas falls on December 25, how many days are left until Christmas?
Life is full of "teachable moments." "You learn something new every day" is my mantra.
If you're an avid reader, you know this phrase to be true. Even if what you normally read is fiction, there's always a grain of truth and a lesson or two in each story.
No. That's an exaggeration, also known as stretching the truth a little.
The different languages spoken by the indigenous peoples of Alaska and Canada might have anywhere from 2 to about 15 different words for snow.

Frankly, I'm a little surprised that there hasn't been more buzz about an Associated Press STORY of the other day in which certain allies of Paul Ryan, speaking on the proverbial Q.T., speculate about his political future:
Publicly, Ryan and his closest allies maintain that momentum is behind the Romney-Ryan ticket. They aren't entertaining any talk about anything different from Ryan settling into the vice president's residence in January. Ryan already has met once with Mike Leavitt, the former health and human services secretary who is building a government-in-waiting for Romney, Ryan advisers said.
But Ryan's biggest boosters realize he probably can ...

But a considerable portion of the people who've defected really still think of themselves as Scientologists. They believe the official church of Scientology has been hijacked from the original teachings of L. Ron Hubbard, and they want that back. So there is kind of a church in waiting, and I think if there was a change at the top of the church, then those people would stream back in.

Bosnian Grammar for High Schools. Parts 1 and 2, Study of Voice and Form
The first printing house in Bosnia and Herzegovina was founded in 1519 by Božidar Goraždanin, in the city of Goražde, in eastern Bosnia. Two years later, in 1521, the establishment closed and was moved to Romania. Subsequently, a small number of books written in Bosnia and Herzegovina were sent outside the country to be printed, in Venice, Vienna, Rome, and elsewhere, but books were not produced in the country. In the second half of the 19th century, there was a revival of interest in printing and publishing in Bosnia and ...

Justin Peck, who at 25 is one of the youngest choreographers ever commissioned by the New York City Ballet, is creating a new ballet for the company's annual "New Combinations Evening" on Jan. 31, the company announced. Mr. Peck's world premiere, set to "Sinfonietta LaJolla" by the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinu, will replace a previously announced world premiere by the company's ballet master in chief, Peter Martins.
Mr. Martins's ballet, with a commissioned score by Marc-Andre Dalbavie, has been postponed until the company's 2014 winter season to allow Mr. Dalbavie more time to complete the music.
The company's "New Combinations Evening" honors George Balanchine's legacy by presenting world premiere ballets on or around the anniversary of his birthday, Jan. 22. Mr. Balanchine died in 1983. In addition to Mr. Peck's work, the evening will include Alexei Ratmansky's "Concerto DSCH" and Mr. Balanchine's rarely performed "Variations Pour une Porte et un Soupir."
The new work by Mr. Peck, who also dances with the company, is his third premiere for City Ballet. His first piece for the company, "In Creases," was set to "Four Movements for Two Pianos" by Philip Glass. It had its premiere in July during the company's annual summer season at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. "In Creases" will have its New York City premiere on May 29. Mr. Peck's second commission, "Year of the Rabbit," had its debut in October during City Ballet's fall season.
All performances are at the David H. Koch Theater, at Lincoln Center. Additional information: (212) 496-0600, nycballet.com.

We put all our wheels through rigorous tests in our research and development lab. We have a machine that measure how easy it is to flatspot wheels and a team of test riders. Right now, Figgy's wheel is one of our favorites because they are fast and don't flatspot easily at all. Highly recommended.

Scored a scorcher recently? A beautiful goal, a goal that you would just love to share with us all. Well FirstPlay are giving you the chance just for that. They would love to see all those glorious goals you guys are scoring.
If you reckon you have scored a wonder goal, a goal that you are immensly proud of, then send us a clip of it and tell us what you like about the goal.
FIFA 2010 allows you to upload clips to the EA Sports website, which can be accessed by logging onto the site using your profile.
Once you score a goal worthy enough to be shown off, then save the replay and follow the prompts on screen to upload to EA website.
When you have your favourite highlight uploaded to your EA account, just post the URL for the video in here and FirstPlay can see all the wonder of your replays.
This is one of my goals I scored and am very proud of. It was just before the Sheffield derby, so thought I get myself in the mood by acting out the match before hand. Unfortunately the replay doesn't show the sublime work up to the goal, but you can just about manage to see how fast and snappy the passes were, with a hint of skill to make a marvellous 5 Star team work goal

A Naturalist's Pilgrimage to the Galapagos
Smithsonian's Laura Helmuth vacationed in the Galapagos Islands and returned with even more respect for Charles Darwin
- By Laura Helmuth
- Smithsonian.com, January 30, 2009
(Laura Helmuth)
The Galapagos is no place for a mammal. But it's a great place to be a reptile. Land animals had to make the trip here via rafts of vegetation that broke loose from the mainland, which isn't so bad if you have scaly skin, are cold-blooded and can go for a long time without fresh water. A few rodents managed to colonize the islands, and there are some native bats, but reptiles rule.
One of the weirdest reptiles is the marine iguana, the world's only seagoing lizard. It basks on lava rocks to warm up in the morning, then swims around in the surf eating seaweed. They get to be four feet long or more and look for all the world like Godzilla. Like other Galapagos creatures, they aren't particularly bothered by humans gawking at them.
Comments (8) |
I went to the Galapagos two summers ago and absolutely fell in love with the islands. I went when I was just 16 and plan on going back. The islands are unbelievable. If you ever get the chance to go it is a must. The history and biology hidden in these islands make it a memorable trip for all ages!
Posted by Fallon on February 21,2010 | 10:27 PM
I just returned from nine days in the Galapagos (May 7-16, 2009). It is expensive to get there and go on a small yacht cruise but worth every single penny. May or December are the best months to go. I strongly advise you to book this trip now and not keep putting it off like I did. I'm 36 and kicking myself that I did not do it earlier. It is an absolutely life-changing experience!
Posted by Sean on May 20,2009 | 12:08 PM
How I would love to visit this splendid place! It is incredible even today that Darwin was able to see the big picture in that one small area of the universe. If he did not profess a faith of any kind it does not refute his findings. In fact, in my mind, creation and evolution are one and the same. Our God is omnipotent! Who would doubt that it is ALL God's plan. So many don't recognize the magnificence of His power. It is not an "either/or". I believe His hand guides it all.
Posted by Carol on February 16,2009 | 07:31 PM
But, you forgot to mention that many of the islands have trails that are easy to walk on and beautiful beaches where one can share the water with playful sea lions.d
Posted by Byron Dann on February 8,2009 | 03:11 PM
My husband and myself have to been to the Galapagos. The islands are unbelievable.
Posted by Maureen Duckworth on February 7,2009 | 05:23 PM
Good article. Most of the pictures were too dark.
Posted by John Dalsimer on February 7,2009 | 04:42 PM
Enjoyed reading your article...it brought back a lot of memories. As you mentioned, the wildlife is amazing and not afraid of humans. Our naturalist was from the Galapagos and was a wealth of information. I hope they can continue to protect the area. Also, removing non-native wildlife, such as goats, will only enhance & preserve this unique area. My favorite was the blue footed booby...watching them fish was fascinating. We really enjoy the Smithsonian Magazine.
Posted by Larry Stadler on February 7,2009 | 04:28 PM
A trip to the Galapagos is life changing. I'd go back every year if I could.
Posted by Ann Hoagland on February 7,2009 | 03:11 PM
So, Mr. Darwin had this all figured out did he? I'm sorry he never got to know my God - who in the magnificence we live around - loved him anyway, even though he took all the credit. I hope one day you get to know Him too.

Wouldn't it be great to take lessons from a master leader? Here's your opportunity. Nobody in history has surpassed Jesus of Nazareth in either methods or results. Find out his leadership secrets. They're guaranteed to make you a better leader.

I'm counting on my winning the 360 through 1up's contest... if for some reason that doesn't quite pan out as desired... well, let's just say I'll be ever the more committed to "Wasabi"!
Also, I'd really like to thank everyone for joining... I was pleasently surprised to see so many had enlisted into the ranks so soon. I can't wait till we all know a little more so that we can get started. |

We go head-to-head-to-head both locally and online at Nintendo's press summit.
by Craig Harris November 3, 2005 - Nintendo of America held its semi-annual Nintendo press summit in its Redmond, Washington headquarters. Here, the company focused on the Nintendo DS system's upcoming line-up and the system's local and worldwide multiplayer functions using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. The first product demonstration was with Mario Kart DS, where members of the gaming press got a chance to go eyes and hands-on with the final build set for release in just under two week's time. Nate Bihldorff of the NOA Treehouse walked us through some of the features of the new Mario Kart design. The game, classic Mario Kart action, runs at an incredibly smooth 60 frames per second rate, and gets pretty fast and intense especially in the game's unlockable 150 CC mode. Much of the demonstration was spent showing off the game's collectible weapons during the race, including a Blooper power-up that leaves smeary ink on opponents' screens to make it much more difficult to see. Players can also pick up a powerup that temporarily turns the player into Bullet Bill, turning them invincible and giving them an insane burst of speed. Nate also showed off the insane depth of the Nintendo DS design. Single player will have several features, including the ability to play against computer controlled bots within Battle Mode. Each racer in the game will have multiple kart vehicles that are both for aesthetics and performance; racers have a variety of attributes that affect their racing performance, including Speed. Acceleration. Weight. Handling. Drift, and Items. The items attribute determines if that character will get all the good power-ups or just a whole lot of boring bananas and green turtle shells. There are also single player missions and boss battles to open up unlockables; boss battles reference past Super Mario situations such as the Big Bully fight from Super Mario 64. At the tail end of the demonstration, Nintendo opened up the room to take part in some multiplayer racing action. Using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, we had the opportunity to play other members of the gaming press in Montreal and Germany. The game's producer, Hideki Konno, was on-hand in the Montreal office for some Wi-Fi Connection action as well. In our short time with the game, it's very clear: Mario Kart DS is awesome. Awesome. The classic old-school karting action works extraordinarily well on the Nintendo DS platform. Even though some favorite elements, like coin collecting, aren't in the game design, the DS version adds some new techniques, such as drafting. Players can get a boost of speed by tailing opponents for an amount of time, giving them enough momentum to zip past the lead guy. The lower screen comes in very handy in many situations; you can see turtle shells zooming up from behind, and use that overhead view as a secondary view for when a Blooper squirts ink all over your screen. The internet connection was admittedly a bit temperamental, with some lag issues and situations where players were randomly dropped from the action. But since the room was filled with dozens of players partaking in the Wi-Fi play, the lag and connection drops could have been attributed to the jammed wireless traffic in the area. When it was working, it was nearly flawless. The Internet play is limited to simple four player racing matches, and players "vote" on which tracks to race on during the connection; the winning selection (the highest number of votes) will be the track everyone races on. The computer will choose the track from the voted list if there's a tie. Since our cartridge didn't have a friends list built, we entered a match-up race where the service would seek out and pair us up with like-skilled opponents based on the wins/losses ranking attached to our onlin |

Official Nintendo Website --- (Oct 05, 2005)
On Nov.14, Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Ushers in New Era of Free Wireless Gaming Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection will create a welcome, inviting atmosphere where video game players of all kinds can log on wirelessly and begin playing. The service will be used in different ways for different games. In Mario Kart DS, four players at a time can race over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Racers can pick opponents from their roster of friends, match up randomly against strangers of comparable skill levels or simply choose to race against anyone in the world. Mario Kart DS launches Nov. 14. People who hang out in Animal Crossing: Wild World can travel to other players' towns or invite up to three other players to visit their own towns, simply by opening the town gate. The four players then can interact and play together simultaneously in one town. Players must know one another and register to their respective friend rosters before they can connect. Animal Crossing: Wild World is set to launch on Dec. 5. Activision's Tony Hawk's American Sk8land will let players compete head-to-head in multiplayer games in a variety of modes. Players also can create custom skateboard art and graffiti tags, and share them with other players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The service will track global high scores and stats. Tony Hawk's American SK8Land will launch on Nov. 14. Games in development include Metroid Prime Hunters, slated to launch in the first quarter of 2006. Players can hook up for play with registered friends, automatch with other players based on a skill-level match or play with anyone; Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection quickly finds the best match with other players online. |

I read in an article somewhere (not sure if it was here on 1up) that you'll be able to store up to 50 friend keys for direct connection.
Any word on the WEP support, and if there is a storage function for the WEP keys and networks? I'd hate to have to input those over and over whenever I'm not using my home network. |

Mindwater | #14 Subject: To the best of my knowledge... Posted: 11/08/2005 17:34:39 |
U will in fact be able to store up to 50 friend keys. As for whether u'll have to re-input codes for WEP... I hope not, and wouldn't think so. But... ???
In response to being thankful for not having WEP... hmmm... ---> "What if your home router is WPA security encrypted?" Then you're out of luck. Your DS will see the signal, but if you try to access it you'll be told that the system doesn't support that form of encryption. You'll need to switch to WEP... or buy the adapter. |

Mindwater | #17 Subject: The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly Posted: 11/08/2005 19:01:21 |
The following text is from the IGNDS mailbag, and was directed to IGNDS editor-in-chief Craig Harris. When asked (by a reader) whether Craig & him would be able to race each other (knowing Craig's WiFi name is CraigIGN)... Craig responds with:
"The problem with Mario Kart is that the online portion is extremely limited. The only way you'll be able to connect with me on a regular basis, outside of randomly connecting to me via "Worldwide Mode" is if you have my 12 digit Friend Code, and I have yours. If you have mine, you still won't be able to connect to me as a friend since I don't have yours. Knowing someone's online name isn't enough. Nintendo's system also forces the group of up to four players -- people can't choose who to play, or even enable a simple two or three player challenge. And even in random Worldwide match-ups, if I enjoyed racing against someone, I have no way of adding that person to my list of friends. There's no way of chatting with that person or finding out his email address to get that information after the fact, either. Get Mario Kart DS because it's the best freakin' kart racer ever, with an incredible focus on single player and local multiplayer. Don't get it solely for its online component because you'll end up wanting way more than what's offered here." -- Craig ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another letter from the IGNDS mailbag reads as: "I don't quite get what you mean about the Starbucks hotspot thing. If you can't use their wi-fi straight to your DS (without a laptop) because there's a login screen, does that mean the only public hotspots you can access are the Nintendo ones at McDonald's? Also, just out of curiosity, does the wi-fi adapter create a hotspot that a computer could get online with?" slole (IGN reader) "You can access any open hotspot, or any hotspot that's locked simply by a WEP key (and you know that WEP key). Any hotspot that needs special login through a service like T-Mobile, Cingular, or any of the other bazillion ISPs charging for Wi-Fi service must be logged in first via a PC. The Wi-Fi USB Connector will create a bridge between the PC and DS, allowing the DS to use that Wi-Fi hotspot by piggybacking onto the PC's internet access. I made a special trip to McDonalds for lunch today (dig their premium chicken sandwichesâ?¦yum) and brought along my DS. The way Nintendo says it's supposed to work: just turn on your system and log in to the Wi-Fi Connection service. That didn't work. So I went into the set-up, pulled up the Waypoint network and tried accessing it that way. Didn't work. I'm guessing Waypoint hasn't triggered the DS access yet, but theoretically should by November 14th." -- Craig |

Mindwater | #21 Subject: Mario Kart DS WiFi: Questions Answered Posted: 11/09/2005 15:55:48 |
What are the online features of Mario Kart DS?
Mario Kart DS allows players to connect online with other players from around the world to race across dozens of race tracks, both new and classic. What is the difference between Friend, Rival and Stranger play in Mario Kart DS? Friends: Friends play is used when you wish to race against those players you have added to you Friends Roster. By selecting the Friend mode when playing online, other "non-friend" players are not able to join that person in online play. Rivals: Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection is able to keep track of your stats and determine your skill level. By selecting to play against a rival, player's are matched up with others with similar skill levels. Regional Play: When you select Regional Play, you are matched up against anyone else who is playing within your region (i.e. North America), regardless of skill level or "friend" status. Worldwide: When selecting Worldwide, you are matched up against anyone else who is online, regardless of skill level or "friend" status. How do I play with a Friend online in Mario Kart DS? To play against friends, you must first exchange Friend Codes. Click here for information on how to do this. Once you have Friends Codes entered, select "Nintendo WFC," from the main menu, and then "Nintendo WFC Match." Tap "Yes" to connect to Nintendo WFC. Once connected, you will have the option to select the type of opponent you wish to race against (Friends or Rivals) or what location you want to select players from (Regional or Worldwide). Select the "Friends" option, the DS will search for other players from your Friend Roster who are waiting. Once connected, you will be able to choose your race tracks, and then the races begin! How do I get a Friend Code in Mario Kart DS? In order to get a Friend Code, you must first connect to the Nintendo WFC service at least once with your Mario Kart DS game. Once you have connected at least once, from the main screen, select "Nintendo WFC," and then "Friend Code." Select "Confirm Friend Code" to view your own 10-digit Friend Code for that game. The code will be displayed on the upper screen. How do I add a Friend Code to the Friends Roster in Mario Kart DS? From the main screen, select "Nintendo WFC," and then "Friend Code." Select "Register Friend Code," and then tap the numbers to enter your friend's 10-digit Friend Code. |
bioburn120 | #22 Subject: Pros and Cons of Mario Kart DS Online Posted: 11/10/2005 11:04:32 |
This is an article from IGN about the Pros and Cons of the Online portion of Mario Kart DS.
Mario Kart DS is on its way this Tuesday, with our review coming at the end of the week. While we crank down on playing through all the single and multiplayer challenges within the package, we thought it'd be a good time to give you guys a heads-up on the one feature everyone seems to want to know about: Mario Kart DS's online component. We'll get this out of the way right now: what's here is not Xbox Live. It's clear that to get this game out in time for Christmas, Nintendo had to make sacrifices and strip down the feature list to make the 2005 holiday shipdate. So if you buy Mario Kart DS with the intention of creating some hugely elaborate online challenges, you're going to walk away from the race disappointed. That said, there's enough functionality in the online component to keep things interesting and fun. Mario Kart DS enables two, three, or four player races in 20 of the available 32 race tracks. The match-ups don't feature computer opponent drones, and the more active tracks with tons of environmental hazards (like giant rolling balls) have been taken out of the equation. Battle Mode is not an option. Mario Kart DS has the ability to keep a log of people you consider friends. These "friends" are obtained two ways. 1) Playing people in local wireless multiplayer (i.e. in the same room, connected system to system via the standard wireless protocol and NOT the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection) will automatically transmit that person's ID into your Friend's List. 2) Each player's game has a unique 12 digit "Friend's Code." You can give that code to your friends, who can enter it into their own game with a temporary name. When logging onto the Wi-Fi Connection with the DS, when the DS sees that person online, it will automatically pull the appropriate user name and his icon. The temporary user name that you entered will be overwritten in favor of the data that the other user has already registered. And Friends can be removed from your list easily. Mario Kart DS automatically links players together in the match-up. By choosing "Friends", Nintendo's server will go out and pull players on your Friends List also sitting on the Connect screen waiting for a match-up. "Rivals," in theory, pairs up players with like-skills, most likely comparing the wins/loss record ratio. Regional matches up people in the same territory, and Worldwide connects anyone on the planet together. Worldwide runs the most risk of lag, since you could theoretically be playing people from Japan, US, Europe all at the same time. Mario Kart DS keeps track of the win-loss record against members in your Friend's List. If you want to see how many times you beat that Friend, that data is recorded to cartridge so you can take that data with you to gloat (or hide). Unfortunately, it doesn't keep track of your wins/loss records against players that aren't listed as Friends on your cartridge...and currently, the website doesn't offer this data, either. Mario Kart DS will alert you when a Friend is logged on and waiting to play a match. Right above the Wireless strength bar, a blue "Friend" icon will pop up and blink when he logs onto the Wi-Fi Connection with Mario Kart DS. This icon pops up anywhere: menu selections or in-game during a race. Unfortunately, players can't see which friend it is, nor can they interact with them in any way. It's just an alert, nothing more. And now, for the negatives: Mario Kart DS online racing is a little more limited. Certain elements have been tweaked or removed to make the game run as seamlessly as possible. The "Three Banana" power-up has been taken out of the equation, and players can't hold |

Even though the wi-fi friends list aspect of Mario Kart DS is lacking somewhat... I think the format they have set up will work great. I'll be able to play against real people that are roughly my skill level (apparently) quickly and easily with little hassle.
Besides, I'm sure we'll be able to set up a good method for exchanging friend number ID's here anyways. |

Hi Ho Silver, Awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Sounds like you better have about 20 kids to undo all the religious damage your family has done.
I hope you understand how lucky you are to have a father how understands you.
My Daughter is atheist but she had friends in high school who both parents were fundamentalist. One particular friend of hers was very intelligent but when faced with doubt her parents told her it was the devil. Ten years later she is really messed up and confussed. Last I heard she was working as a stripper.
My daughter just got her Masters Degree in education. It is important that you and your father support each other. That is a relationship that won't last forever so savor it. You will need it if you ever have children.

After the defeat of AV, expect the next epic battle (and the next poisoned wooden spoon Cameron hands the Lib Dems) to be House of Lords reform. At this point I'd better declare an interest as having worked there (as an erstwhile Hansard reporter). Despite knowing the institution more intimately than I do any other, I don't think I've written much about it before; this is because I find it quite difficult to make up my mind about what to do about the damn place.
Walter Bagehot famously quipped that "the cure for admiring the House of Lords is to go and look at it". Having sat through several postprandial hours of a debate on 'the benefits of the Segway personal transporter', it's hard to disagree. It's also hard, on the other hand, to keep one's rational faculties clear when in the building and not be seduced by the awful, artificial and amusing work of Augustus Pugin and Charles Barry and its supremely confident Gothic (that is, explicitly non-Roman) assertion of British exceptionalism. I find it takes a great effort, and I can't be alone in this, to disregard the indisputable aesthetic and technical accomplishments of the age of empire when weighing up its social, economic and moral pros and cons; too easy, in other words, to use beauty as a proxy for truth, justice, virtue. The whole place is a spectacular triumph of Victorian propaganda: the Soviet Union had its stirring anthem and its heroic art, the US has its sexy movies, and we had the Tudor rose and the portcullis. In the little reporters' corner of the chamber, with some anonymous lifer suggesting to half a dozen of his fellows how to decide the makeup of a committee to determine the composition of a working group to investigate the regulation of the makeup of the committee, the eyes are inevitably drawn by the carved lions and unicorns, by the heraldic oak panels of the four patron saints, and eventually by the dazzling gilded ceiling whose ornaments and chandeliers seem to melt off it like stalactites, and your distracted reporter, overcome by a sort of reactionary Stendhal syndrome, finds himself transported to his own Burkean Ambrosia. (The Commons is much less ornate and perhaps cosier for it, but the most profound sensation to be had in the estate is to be alone at night in Westminster Hall, gazing up at the hammerbeam angels still keeping watch nine centuries on, and only dimly aware of the restless metropolis beyond the buttressed walls: on such occasions I always find myself communing with Bede and his sparrow.) So perhaps Bagehot would have been more accurate to say that the cure is to go and listen to it, while keeping your eyes shut.
I digress. The question is: what use does the place serve now, and how could it be improved? Here the traditionalist and the radical democrat in me clash (a problem Orwell had all the time). A few perceptions about the noble and not-so-noble Lords persist that are no longer quite accurate. Only 88 of the old hereditaries — Wilde's old unspeakables — remain. The vast majority of the rest are life peers, appointed by various prime ministers; a few bishops are left (and are we really about to see a Conservative prime minister eject them?), and the law Lords have moved across the road to the Supreme Court. A lot of these are former or failed politicians, but a great many are also those who've excelled in various non-political fields: the arts, law, media, sport, business, academia, war. In this sense, at least, they could be considered more diverse than the Commons, which with every election becomes more and more the preserve of PPE Oxonians in their mid-40s from north London who have only ever worked in politics. The Lords, unlike the Commons, still has plenty of endearingly amateurish speakers (whom I always hope to avoid having to report on) and endearingly unsmooth operators. And despite Cameron's additions, Labour still has more peers than the Tories.
The balance that needs to be struck is to combine the resilient independence of the incumbent Lords (who stood up to the previous government on, among other things, the chilling effects of the Racial and Religious Hatred Act) with a greater (that is, any) popular mandate.
It seems inevitable, with the defeat of the AV referendum, that the Lords will become proportionately elected before the Commons ever does. There is one serious objection to this: that, by picking who appears on the lists and in what order, the party managers would retain or even strengthen control over this occasionally rebellious House. The Lords aren't so easily whipped now, but their replacement senators (most of them presumably seeking re-election) could well be. Might the coalition, then, use this opportunity to strengthen the executive relative to parliament? That would surely be the opposite of what we should hope for.
So the extent to which we should welcome reform really depends on what sort of PR is on offer. If Cameron, Clegg and Miliband have complete control over the party lists, then what comes next might if anything be worse than what we have now. But if the government is actually willing to give power away — perhaps in the form of multi-member STV wards, or even open primaries, as are now used to pick some Commons candidates — then the public will have more say than the politicians, and the reformed chamber will have more legitimacy than the one it replaces. There is a great opportunity for something better, but we will have to wait and see whether we are given another stitchup instead.
Our zeal for reform shouldn't lead us to assume that what is done in its name will necessarily be more truly democratic, rather than a pale imitation of the deeply dysfunctional Commons; instead, we have to hold the coalition to account and insist that the upper House becomes as democratic as it possibly can, and that it gives power away from politicians, both elected and appointed: on this occasion, we have to keep our eyes wide open.

!6 Feb, the first FLFA Tournament of 2013 was underway. A little on the cold and windy side, but for tournaments there is seldom a perfect day. First stop, 1 Spanish Mackerel, don't see very many of them in this area. Next stop, time to play in the mud. Plenty of bait, but can not see any Reds. Worked the Gold Flat Rap off of the pockets in the Mangroves. Got a small 4 pound Red. Spotted an area of nervous bait, made a cast with a top water popper, good blow up but no hook up, just know that it was the winning Red. Spent the next 10 minutes poling back out to where I could get enough water to run. Back to a canal to find Trout. Hit one 16 incher, then it was nothing but Jacks. Moved back to an area that produced a lot of nice Trout last year, but has been dead this year. Worked the Flat Rap on the Mangrove edge, missed a couple of hits, then got a good hookup, a slim 5 pound Trout.
Off to the weigh in. Watch and wait as several bigger fish were brought in. Wound up out of the money again. There are a lot of really good anglers fishing the Circuit. Next tournament is on 16 March. Come out and fish. If you don,t fish the tournament stop by the Riverside Cafe in Vero or Sebastian Inlet Marina in Grant and watch the weigh in.

-You might consider the following "Spoilers", but I think they are necessary for RP'ers to know some of the things that are going on. I feel like it might hit rock bottom since I haven't shared enough about Dreamworld yet... so here goes.-
"You fight to hold on"
"You fight to let go"
The Dreamworld is simply a concept, There is no such world really, it's just... where we go when we sleep and dream. You know how it goes - you go to bed, you fall asleep and then you dream and create your own universe inside your head with your own rules. They say some dreams are unconditional, although some people are said to be able to control the nature of their dreams, though really that concept is something that many tried to explain. but let's say there was such universe that existed, and every time you dreamt you created your own room, in your own house, in your own neighbourhood, in your own town, in your own country, in a world... inside of another universe, alongside in existence, a dimesion where many other exist. what if things come and go, appear and disappear out of that dimension? what if where the dreams occur is an actual world, a forever changing world, every second and every glance at it there is new cities and animals, many creatures and people coming and going, within seconds and within days... What if the Dreamworld is not just a concept after all?
Ⓡobert Swanson, a man in a coma who VERY few DreamLanders believe he is the cause of the Curse that fell upon Dreamworld. He has spent long enough in the Dreamworld, but no one has seen him for years. It is believed he would rather spend the rest of his life in the wonders of Dreamworld, then be stuck in life's ugly hands, Though no one has proof it is him, it is just a rumour. What is the curse you ask? well, all Dreamlanders are used to the usual change the Dreamworld goes through, but all of a sudden it quit changing, and the world just remained in it's current shape (The thing about that is the map is always imprinted inside a DreamLander's mind, doesn't matter how many times it changed... so they always know their world, they just don't know what secrets await them at these places appearing on the map). Things that would normally disappear wouldn't anymore, things would just appear, and stay.
all the dots above are the sudden appearances of Dreamers that has occurred between three different islands (many many more within the whole dream-world)
What happened is that it seems that everyone was forced to fall a sleep by means of an unknown force and have all transported to the no longer ever changing DreamWorld.
Dreamer - A simple human inside of the DreamWorld,
DreamWeaver - A human capable of Altering the elements of the dream, (create pathways, or control certain Dream like creatures)
DreamLander - Someone who IS NOT a dreamer, who is actually existed in the DreamWorld all along.
Nightmare Court - A group of DreamLanders Whorshipping the forces of Nightmare.
Dreamer's Echo - A character who continues to exist in the DreamWorld after dying in the Real world (EXTREMELY RARE CASE)
I will begin to add characters into this first post... Make sure to make final edits to your post!
This is how I see our location right now, Let me know if wrong
Quick summary of the highlights of what happened so far
Evelyn, Kale, and Kiara all Woke up in Elios in Dream world (you can see the map above) where they were confronted by a monstrous roar from within the woods. It was an ogre like moster that attacked everything at its path. Evelyn then realised that she wasn't alone, there were many many more dreamers around her, all who woke up just like her. While Kale and Kiara ran together one way, Evelyn ran the other where she met Renta. The two didn't really say anything at all to one another, Renta tried to fight the Monster, and when finally realized fire beats the thing, more monsters emerged from within the woods. and actually another monster hit Evelyn as she flew toward the body of water near by. Meanwhile Kale and Kiara were out of danger where they introduced one another (although neither of them really knows who they really are) however not long after their conversation one of there creatures found them. While all of this happened, There was a man on a ship by the water, who tried to get all the Dreamers to get on his ship and escape the dangers on this Island... although most decided not to considering the man is made out of wood and they were having a nightmare already as it is. The man however was eager to help these Dreamers as he knew why they were there to begin with. The last Highlight in Elios is a boy calling for help, who claims to be Evelyn's brother, as his sister was going to drown in the water.
some other thing's happening are characters located in other area's away from the Event in Elios.
Such as Jack and ink: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
Mono The skeleton Part 1, Part 2, Part 3,
My History posts.
1st entry - Commander Uendos Wintermane, of the Temple of Light. Time - 3 days before curse
Read the above posts to learn more about the background story.
So you can still Join! not sure where you can fit your Character? simple, Dreamers can just explain their confusing awakening, (Theres only 3 pages so far, you can take a little time to use other's awakening for an example) and then their reaction to the monster attack. or DreamLanders can start where ever, it will be up to you to be creative here!
