Himy Syed is brimming over with passion and stories about Toronto.
He's already shared four of them — and may add even more — to the Toronto Story initiative, which is collecting tales of the past and present and hopes for the future as part of a month-long festival celebrating the city.
There are his one-time encounters with Honest Ed Mirvish in his Harbord Village neighbourhood or putting a book of condolences at Dooney's Cafe on Bloor St. W. for neighbours to sign as a tribute to late …

Congratulations Angel!! Persephone is so beautiful, and her name is fab. Elysia! Swoonerama.
Sounds like the birth went well.
Since you posted about it before (hope you don't mind me asking) how was the fear/pain aspect once you were in labor?

Congratulations! Beautiful baby with a beautiful name.

@ Emma -- actually, once I got in there, the fear completely went away. As a matter of fact, I didn't even feel the contractions for a good long while. I didn't feel them till I was closer to 5 cm dilated and then they just hit really hard, which is when I had a low dose epidural. I hit 10 cm about 3 hours later at which point I told the nurse "Hey, I'm feeling new things so you should check me." They did, and an hour and a half later, Persephone was here. It didn't so much as hurt during the pushing as feel like intense pressure. It didn't hurt nearly as bad as I thought it might and the L&D nurse said she'd never seen anyone push the way I did. I ended up on my side holding on to my ankles with my legs pulled up.
All in all, I'm very happy with how it went.

I've been pushing paint around for about 30 years and still enjoy every moment of it- so its still a hobby I guess. My boyhood was spent exploring the rainforests of the Tweed Valley in Australia while stepping around snakes that basked in the midday sun. School was as little bookwork as possible and moments of unconsciousness on the football field. A 16 hour steam train trip to the 'big smoke' and 4 years later I graduated from University with a bit of knowledge about history, economics and drinking. Painting started about the same time as I started working and it increasingly challenged the latter as the most relaxing and rewarding way forward. It finally took over and traveling the world followed. A number of great relationships later, 2 fabulous boys and painting in USA, the UK and Asia and the years slipped by. A few books about painting then a glancing shot at a TV series and I'm here!
Hope you enjoy my site…
And happy painting!

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life® of Lake Stevens gives everyone in the community a chance to help the organization save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Register your team today by visiting RelayForLife.org or by calling 1-800-227-2345.
Former and current cancer patients, those who have lost a loved one to cancer, families, businesses, faith-based and civic organizations, and anyone wanting to make a difference in the fight against cancer are invited to take part in this exciting team event. Relay For Life takes place from 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 19 until 10 a.m. on Sunday, May 20 at Lake Stevens High School's football field.
Relay For Life events are held overnight as individuals and teams camp out at an athletic track, park or other gathering area, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the evening.
Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their camp sites during Relay. Relay brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups . . . people from all walks of life – all aimed at furthering the American Cancer Society's efforts to save lives by helping people stay well, by helping them get well, by finding cures and by fighting back.
"Relay For Life draws attention to the progress being made in the fight against cancer," said Kim Demary, Lake Stevens volunteer Relay event chair. "Many participants are our family, friends, and neighbors who have faced cancer themselves. Their involvement helps bring hope that, together, we can eliminate cancer as a major health problem."
Information about how to form a team or become involved in Relay For Life is available at RelayForLife.org or by calling 800-227-2345.
The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; by helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation's largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.4 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year. To learn more about us or to get help, call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.

All I know about the Galaxy S4 ... was not learned on the live stream
Subject: General Tech | March 15, 2013 - 01:12 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Samsung, galaxy s4, exynos 5, bad acting, Android 4.2.1
It is a close race between Blackberry and Samsung as far as which company provided the most stilted and uncomfortable launch of a new smartphone but those who survived it managed to pass on details about the brand new phone. We have not seen it dissected yet, nor blended, but we know inside the phone you will find an Samsung Exynos 5 5410 Octa 8-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz, a PowerVR SGX 544 graphics chip, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of firmware flash and runs Android 4.2.1, similar to the S3. On the outside is a 5" Gorilla Glass 3 Super AMOLED screen at 1920 x 1080 resolution, or 441ppi which is certainly higher than others but close enough to the limits of a perfect human eye as to make very little real difference.
Connectivity can come through WiFi, BlueTooth, HSPA+ 42Mbps, 4G LTE and even infrared transmitter for remote control functions. User interaction sees some new tricks however, eye tracking software will scroll webpages and documents as you read through them and those who despair over smudges on their screens will like the ability to control the phone with a finger hovering over the screen, not quite touching it. It bears two cameras, a 13MP on the back capable of recording at quite respectable resolutions as well as a 2MP front facing camera for video calls. On this translated page, the only connectivity seems to be a microUSB port, but there is is mention of MHL which can provide HDMI out, or you might be able to use the infrared transmitter to send your pictures and movies to another device. Charging can be done wirelessly via Qi in theory, though that did not work so well during the demonstration. You can follow the various links for a bit more detail but until a reviewer can get a Galaxy S4 in hand to benchmark it and perhaps tear it apart we don't know exactly how this phone will fare against the competition.
"Samsung Galaxy S4 will be available from the second quarter globally including the US market, partnering with telecom carriers such as AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, as well as US Cellular and Cricket, Samsung said. In Europe, Samsung Galaxy S4 is partnering with global mobile operators such as Deutsche Telecom, EE, H3G, Orange, Telenor, Telia Sonera, Telefonica, and Vodafone."

A $250 Dual Core Cortex A15 powered Chromebook from Samsung
Subject: Mobile | November 23, 2012 - 02:59 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ubuntu, Chromebook, cortex a15, Samsung, linux, exynos 5
At $250 this Samsung Chromebook costs less than most tablets or phones but can outperform previous A9 powered models and the Atom D525 as well. The processor is Samsung's Exynos 5, a dual core A15 chip running at 1.7GHz with ARM's Mali-T604 graphics and is accompanied by 2GB of DDR3 and a 16GB SSD. It can be loaded with Ubuntu 13.04 and offers a compelling and inexpensive alternative to Sleekbooks and Ultrabooks as it weighs 2.5lbs and is 11.4" x 8.09" x 0.69" and promises over 6 hours of battery life. Check out how it performs at Phoronix.
"Google recently launched the Samsung Chromebook that for $249 USD features an 11-inch display, a 16GB SSD, a promise of 6.5-hour battery life, and is backed by a Samsung Exynos 5 SoC. The Samsung Exynos 5 packs a 1.7GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 processor with ARM Mali-T604 graphics. With using this new ARM Cortex-A15 chip plus the Samsung Chromebook not being locked down so it can be loaded up with a Linux distribution like Ubuntu or openSUSE, it was a must-buy for carrying out some interesting Cortex-A15 Linux benchmarks. The Exynos 5 Dual in this affordable laptop packs an impressive performance punch."

Samsung Launches Cortex A15-based Exynos 5 Dual Core SoC
Subject: Mobile | August 10, 2012 - 05:12 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Samsung, Exynos 5250, exynos 5, dual core arm, cortex a15
A few months back, Samsung debuted its latest Exynos 4 quad core mobile System on a Chip (SoC) based on four Cortex A9 cores. The company recently released details of its next generation Exynos processor, only this time it is a dual core variant. The Samsung Exynos 5 Dual (Exynos 5250) is packing the latest mobile ARM technology with two ARM Cortex A15 CPU cores and a Mali T604 graphics core.
The dual core processor is running at 1.7 GHz and features the NEON fixed function hardware for accelerated video decoding. Further, the Mali T604 GPU is based on ARM's new Midgard architecture. The T604 includes a unified shader design with support for OpenGL ES 3.0 and the full OpenCL 1.1 profile. Not too shabby for a mobile GPU!
The Exynos 5250 also sees an upgrade (from 6.4 GB/s in the Exynos 4) in memory bandwidth to 12.8 GB/s between the processor and two port LPDDR3 memory at up to 800Mhz. The increased memory bandwidth along with the new–and more powerful–processor and graphics hardware enables Samsung to offer support for much higher resolution displays up to WXQGA or 2560x1600 pixels.
Other features of the new Exynos 5 dual core processor include USB 3.0 support, wireless display support, and a claimed ability to playback 1080p video at 60 FPS using Google's VP8 video decoder (no word on H.264 performance, though the ARM processor's NEON hardware should handle those videos well enough). The GPU is also able to allegedly use 20-times less power when displaying a static image (such as a web page or ebook page) called PSR mode.
According to the Android Authority, the first product to be powered by the new Samsung Exynos 5 processor will likely be the company's upcoming Galaxy Tab 11.6 tablet. Quad core variants of the Exynos 5 should come out following the successful dual core launch.
The Cortex A15-based mobile processor is packing some impressive specifications, and it will be interesting to see Exynos 5-powered devices. Specifically, it will be interesting to see how it stacks up compared to products like NVIDIA's Tegra 3, TI's OMAP 5, and even Samsung's own Exynos 4 quad core SoC. Are you excited about the new dual core SoC?

Penn Museum will soon lend its largest object from Alaska to the United Nations for its upcoming exhibition The Right to Water and Indigenous Peoples. The Museum's 15 foot Umiak, an Inupiaq skin boat made of stretched walrus and seal skin coated with seal oil, will navigate its way to New York City in mid May where it will be on display at the UN until the end of June. The exhibition, which marks the Tenth Session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, highlights water's critical relevance to indigenous spiritual, cultural, political and economic systems around the globe, and includes contributions from indigenous photographers and filmmakers around the world.
The Provenience of the Umiak
With the help of John Wanamaker, the department store magnate, the Penn Museum hired William B. Van Valin to lead an expedition to Alaska, 1917-1919. Van Valin had previously lived and taught in northern Alaska while working for the U.S. Bureau of Education. For the Museum he collected ethnographic material among the Iñupiaq and excavated ancient remains at Point Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost location of mainland North America. He also took photographs and motion picture film. The Van Valin films, now at the Smithsonian Institution's Human Studies Film Archives, are the first ever made of Iñupiaq Eskimo life.
Listen to an excerpt about the umiak from the Penn Museum's Highlights of the Galleries Tour:
Penn Museum Deputy Director Brian Rose is blogging from Afghanistan this week on the Penn Museum blog. The cultural heritage preservation tour was coordinated by the American Embassy, the Asia Foundation, and the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Ghazni. Brian will be visiting with cultural heritage officers and local government officials in Kabul and Ghazni (nearly 150 km to the southwest of Kabul.) On day one of his trip, he observed:
"One sees the effects of decades of war in most parts of town—some Afghans even refer to it as the Thirty Years War, beginning with the Soviet invasion in 1978… But there is nevertheless a great sense of hope for the future wherever one looks."
Dr. Rose, no stranger to body armor, was also hosted by the Cultural Heritage Liaison Officer at the American Embassy in Baghdad in April 2009, where he toured the ancient ziggurat at Ur and the newly renovated Iraq National Museum to advise on their historic preservation and archaeological management efforts.
Under the auspices of the AIA, he also leads a cultural heritage training program on the archaeology of Iraq and Afghanistan for US troops deploying to the Middle East. In November, Penn Museum hosted several troops from Fort Dix who were a part of this program and got a behind-the-scenes tour of the Near East Collections.
Battleground: War Rugs from Afghanistan
April 30 - July 31, 2011
The rug weavers of Afghanistan, long renowned for their artistry, depict on their rugs the world that they see. Like television news, their rugs "report" current events. Since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and throughout more than three decades of international and civil war, Afghan weavers have borne witness to disaster by weaving unprecedented images of battle and weaponry into their rugs.

In an effort to learn more about the physical aspects of humankind, both past and present, anthropologists developed methods and techniques to evaluate human skeletal remains, techniques that apply in modern forensic (criminal) investigations. Stephen R. Phillips, Ph.D., RPA, Research Assistant to the Curator-in-Charge of the Egyptian Section of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, presents.
Using cases from his own archaeological research, this Philadelphia Science Festival lecture introduces the audience to those scientific methods and techniques through digital images of actual ancient Egyptian human remains-some nearly as old as the pyramids themselves. The program is co-sponsored by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Lecture Program of the Penn Museum.

A group of archaeologists working in Armenia had something to toast in the new year: they announced that they had unearthed a surprisingly advanced winemaking operation, discovered in a cave hear a remote Armenian village. The operation dates back 6,000 years-making it the earliest known site in the world for wine-making with grapes!
This exciting new discovery was reported in the peer-reviewed Journal of Archaeological Science on Tuesday, January 11, 2011. Journalists from the Associated Press, The New York Times, Washington Post, and National Geographic News Online, among others, contacted Penn Museum experts to get feedback and perspective on this latest discovery from Dr. Patrick E. McGovern, Scientific Director of the Biomolecular Archaeology Laboratory and author of the award-winning, Uncorking the Past: The Quest for Wine, Beer, and Other Alcoholic Beverages, Univ. California, 2010/2011, and from Dr. Naomi F. Miller, Research Project Manager, Near East Section, for National Geographic.
"99% of the wine we drink today stems from that earliest grapevine domestication event that now seems clearly to have taken place in that region."
- Dr. Pat McGovern

Central to the mission of the Penn Museum, is the preservation of cultural heritage as expressed in the Pennsylvania Declaration issued at the 1970 UNESCO Convention.
On 17 November 1990, The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) was signed into law. As of 2010, 39 formal repatriation claims seeking the return of collections have been received by the Penn Museum. Twenty-four repatriations have been completed resulting in the transfer of 226 sets of human remains, 750 funerary objects, 14 unassociated funerary objects, 19 objects of cultural patrimony, 16 sacred objects and 1 object claimed as both cultural patrimony and sacred. Read more about Penn Museum's NAGPRA program
In October 2010, former Penn Museum volunteer Warren Kamensky made a generous donation to endow the position of NAGPRA Coordinator in the American Section—the position currently held by Stacey Espenlaub. The NAGPRA Coordinator position continues to support increasingly important initiatives, not only in the care of our collection, but also in developing and maintaining relationships with the tribes and native communities of North America.
Sixty-two U.S. soldiers from Fort Dix, New Jersey, among the last Civil Affairs troops soon to deploy to Iraq for an assist and advisory mission, visited the Penn Museum on Tuesday, November 16, 2010, as part of the 14 unit pre-deployment training-training that emphasizes cultural heritage awareness.
They were greeted by Dr. C. Brian Rose, Deputy Director, Penn Museum, and President of the Archaeological Institute of America. Dr. Rose has been offering American troops headed to Iraq and Afghanistan cultural heritage training since 2004.
Soldiers were divided up in to four groups, and taken on tours of the Museum, with stops at the exhibition Archaeologists and Travelers in Ottoman Lands (featuring artifacts from, and the story of, Penn Museum's first expedition to Iraq in the 1880s and 90s) and the ancient Near East storage (where Keeper Katy Blanchard and senior conservator Lynn Grant showed materials from the 1920s-early 30s excavation to Ur in Iraq).

What really happened to the Irish immigrants 175 years ago?
Dr. Janet Monge, Keeper of the Skeletal Collections at the Penn Museum, was interviewed by CNN in the Museum's Anthropology wing, where she is analyzing human remains from an active excavation site at Malvern: Duffy's Cut.
The segment ran on "The Situation Room" with Wolf Blitzer, Friday, August 20. Watch the video
CNN photojournalist Joe Capolarello moves in for the close ups,including a look at what appears to be a bullet hole. Also on hand were Meghan Rafferty, CNN Producer (in pink shirt) and Mary Snow, CNN correspondent.New discoveries at Duffy's Cut are telling a remarkable tale about the lives--and once mysterious deaths--of a group of 57 Irish immigrant railroad workers, once thought to have died of cholera.
The Duffy's Cut Project, named for that area of the railroad, is exploring early-19th-century attitudes about industry, disease and immigration through the excavation and analysis of the laborers' skeletons. The group is led by Immaculata University's Dr. William E. Watson, who received his MA and Ph.D. from Penn.
Penn Museum Is Now Accepting Applications for Its Volunteer Docent Program
Penn Museum is currently accepting applications for a new group of weekday and/or weekend Volunteer Docents, with training to begin in October.
Volunteer Docents receive free training by a host of University of Pennsylvania Museum staff and scholars, including leading archaeologists and other researchers active in the field. They develop and lead tours through Penn Museum's permanent and special exhibition galleries, featuring materials from ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Americas, Africa, the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, and more. Docents guide a wide range of school and adult groups, Tuesdays through Fridays, as well as some weekends.
Fulfilling a Prophecy: The Past and Present of the Lenape in Pennsylvania tells the story of the Lenape people who remained in Pennsylvania in secret after many were driven west in the beginning of the 19th century. Children of the little known Lenape-European marriages of the 1700s stayed on the Lenape homelands and continued to practice their traditions covertly. Hiding their heritage, they avoided discovery by both the government and their neighbors for more than two hundred years.

Traditions: Priceless
One by one the Christmas decorations were hung on the tree. The mood was light, and the smiles were abundant as each ornament was gingerly removed from its tissue paper wrapping inside the ornament box. By the time they were all on the tree, it was quite obvious the tree was getting too small.
Each ornament represented a memory — some vague, while others were clearly defined. Some were from my mom ... some given by friends ... some created by youthful cousins who are now in their 30s ... some chosen especially for specific events or occasions ... some given by family members ... all given with love. The parade of ornaments is always a sentimental stroll down Memory Lane, and we remember, reminisce and recall the moments that caused those ornaments to end up in our hands ... and ultimately in our Christmas ornament box, which by the way, is bursting at the seams.
Some of my favorite ornaments are those given to me by my grandmother many years ago. It was a tradition ... Grandpa would bring home the tree, tied to the top of the old green Chevy. We'd watch from the big picture window as he untied the tree, sawed off the bottom and nailed a wooden stand to the bottom. He'd set it upright, and it always looked perfect. Though we were anxious to begin decorating, Grandpa would maneuver the tree through the dining room door and wrestle the huge pine into the living room, where we'd have to wait for the tree to warm and the branches to drop a bit.

brother and sister
Three years ago i met my half sister for the first time. She was my dads daughter and moved out when i was two. She is 34 and i am 22. We lived in diffrent states but i came to visit twice a year. And a year and ahalf ago.... i started getting feelings for her. And started to notice more how beautiful and amazing she is.... blonde hair 5'6. Slender fit body. I tried to shake it off and just say to my self.... " got to calm down she is your sister and besides she would never go for it. Just a fantasy i cant pursue" and over the next year i got married and have two children and she was. Married with two kids and great husband. The fantasy was still there every time i came to visit with my wife and kids. Just seeing her bend over. Would just send me over the edge. Three months ago i finally. Moved to her state. We live twenty mins away and go hangout and pLay board games while our kids play together. The more and more we hung out the more despairing. I got wishing for her love and kiss and not receiving it the way i ached for it. Over. The three months we got very close. We basicly lived over there house. Staying till two am. Half the time our spouses would fall asleep and we would talk about our missed childhoods. Many nights her husband and i would hangout watch kids while my wife and her would go bowling or to a party..they would come home and she would kiss her husband and i found myself being jealous.... feeling my wifes lipson mine while i looked at her. Wanting her.... and two weeks ago we had a family reunion pool party at my house. We had a keg and loads of liquor. My wife hung out with my sister allday and i would steal glances of her amazi g body beautiful pale skin blonde hair and blue eyes in a tight backless black dress. Shaped her every curve. She would meet my gaze and smile and stick her tongue out. As that night went on the adults all left my house and the age group of 20 to 29 remained. Along with my sister and her husband and kids.. it was eleven oclock and we set up beer pong in the living room on a pingpong table. My sister asked her husband to take kida home so she could hangout and party more. Considering it was me my two brothers and our spouses left playing plus a few other friends. He said ok.... so now she was there playing first on my team we won and i got a big hug. And as she let me go she left her hand on my shoulder. And i longed for her touch;so many thoughts were running through my head. Than i said to myself"your sister dont be dumb shes just being sisterly" next game we lost. After that we ended up on diffrent teams. I loved being accross from her. Our eyes would meet and we would hold eachothers gaze longer than we should have. I shook it off. And contributed the thoughts to me being insane. For wanting my sister. Two hrs lTer and a couple of shots. My wife was throwing up out side. I went to check on her. She was sitti g down. As i was about to walk over my sister came looking for us. She comes over half stumbling and gives me a big hug and burys her head in my chest. She says" i love you" my heart started pounding" i love you too "i replied as i wrap my arms around her body.. she looks up at me and we stared at each other for what felt like an eternity.. and it would have been the way to spend eternity if given the choice. She lets me go and slides her hand down my arm and grasps my fingers before leting my hand fall a

Pinellas County, Florida -- Pinellas County Office of Consumer Protection is participating in International Fraud Awareness Week through Saturday, Nov. 9, as an official supporter to promote anti-fraud awareness and education.
"While prevention and detection is a year-round endeavor, International Fraud Awareness Week shines a spotlight on fraud and supporters of the campaign demonstrate their understanding that spreading awareness is key in combating the global fraud threat," said James D. Ratley, president and CEO of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
Pinellas County, Florida -- There are three aspects of the Affordable Care Act that make it easy for scams to thrive. First, the law affects nearly every American in some way, so consumers across the U.S. are vulnerable to getting scammed. Second, the act is not standardized nationwide, allowing each state to administer the law in different ways. Third, the complexity of the law leaves consumers confused.
Pinellas County, Florida -- The Pinellas Education Foundation has opened the application process for more than 150 scholarships that it distributes to Pinellas County School seniors each year.
An essay on the topic the "Greatest Challenge I have faced or expect to face," is required. There are over 30 scholarships available.
The application deadline is 5 p.m. on January 13, 2014.
Click here for more information about the scholarships and the application process.
Pinellas County, Florida -- For those looking for help and answers about college, careers and financial aid, Pinellas County is offering several college and career fairs in September and October.
Three college and career fairs will be held:
Pinellas County, Florida -- Contrary to recent news reports that a ban on credit card surcharges ended Jan. 27, 2013, Florida law continues to prohibit the practice. A surcharge is the extra fee a merchant adds when purchasing goods or services by credit card.
The Pinellas County Office of Consumer Protection offers residents the following tips:
Pinellas County, Florida --PCHA, in partnership with the Community Service Foundation, will offer free Household Budgeting Workshops at PCHAs Central Office located at 11479 Ulmerton Road in Largo. The two-part workshops series will be held from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Thursday, June 6th and from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Thursday, June 13th, 2013.
Attendees will learn how to complete a budget plan based on household income and monthly expenses. These workshops are designed for anyone who desires to save money and gain better control over their finances.
Pinellas County, Florida -- Summer vacation is almost here and for many families that means the return of Mom and Dad's taxi service.
However, with gas prices well above $3.00/gallon, many parents simply can't afford to drive their kids around all summer long. That's where PSTA's popular and affordable Summer Youth Haul Pass comes in.

What's On
There is a wealth of natural attractions in Carmarthenshire as well as a range of organised events, festivals and celebrations.
Among the highlights for the energetic are three races in the Llanelli Waterside Series. The 10km roadrace along the Millennium Coastal Park is listed as one of the top hundred races in the UK. The Triathlon event sees the super-fit swim, cycle and run to clinch the title.
Carmarthenshire is a Mecca for cyclists and walkers and there's a packed schedule of events to suit all ages and abilities. One favourite is the Carreg Cennen and Black Mountain Guided Walk which takes in some of the most dramatic scenery the county has to offer. The Merlin Bike Ride takes you on a magical tour of Carmarthenshire's mountains, countryside and coastline.
Carmarthenshire's proud of its language and tradition. We celebrate our patron saint on March 1 with a Saint David's Day full of cultural entertainment showcasing the best of local crafts and produce. There's more tradition at the magical Dragon Festival in Newcastle Emlyn in June. July marks the annual Llandeilo Fawr Music and Flower Festival with its distinguished programme of artists and performers from around the globe.
Summer is fiesta time with a host of carnivals and village shows. Among the popular parades are the ones at Burry Port, scenic Llansteffan and Seaside - Ammanford even has its own Mardi Gras! Then there are the Christmas carnivals - the annual switching on of the festive lights at Llanelli and Carmarthen are among the most talked about events in the county. Fantastic firework displays make sure the night goes off with a bang. The festive season wouldn't be complete without the Annual Walrus Dip where vikings, fairies and even pantomime horses take their places on the seashore before braving the water to raise money for local charities.
Bigger shows, such as the popular antique fairs are held regularly throughout the year at Carmarthen's United Counties Showground. Look out for the South Wales Homes & Gardens Show in June.
Ffos Las Racecourse has brought back top class horse racing to West Wales for the first time since 1937, located at Trimsaran, only 15 minutes from junction 48 M4 and only an hour's drive from the Irish Ferry terminals of Pembroke Dock and Fishguard.
Former snooker world champion Terry Griffiths oversees the best young players competing in a series of open events at the Terry Griffiths Matchroom in Llanelli.
Parc Howard in Llanelli hosts the prestigious Roberts-Rolfe Open Singles Bowls Championship in July. This important event has been played since 1926 and attracts bowlers from all over the UK for great prize money.
A visit to WWT's Llanelli Wetland Centre transports you to the heart of nature; it's an unforgettable experience and there is something different to enjoy every season. The centre is a haven for many different plants and animals and tens of thousands of migratory birds visit every year. Full family activity programme every weekend and all local school holidays. Seasonal canoe safari and bike trail.
Carmarthenshire is a magnet for artists, designers and craftspeople. Visit their unique studios and watch them at work or check out their exciting exhibition schedule. See their work displayed at stunning venues such as Aberglasney, Parc Howard, and the National Botanic Garden for Wales, and at the exciting Arts and Crafts Street Market held in Carmarthen in June.
Talkng of markets, don't forget every week you can visit any of Carmarthenshire's street markets and food markets for the best local produce. Top quality Farmers' Markets are held regularly in Carmarthen, Llanelli, Ammanford and Llandovery. You can even experience the taste, sights and smells of an authentic Italian Market.

Lefty developed the pattern in the 1950s for stripers, originally designing it to alleviate the hassle of untangling the feather wings that were common at the time. The addition of bucktail helped keep the fly from fouling and gave it an irresistible profile.

The graphics are great in my opinion..
Reminds me of the times when graphics didn't matter
As for the game-play, It's great,Thank you for this :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars April 4, 2011
Good continuation of the series...
Enjoyed the game, I like the emphasis on a smooth playability experience through smooth animations and controls.
Graphics are ok, started to grow on me after the first two, and the voice acting seems to be better in this one in general.
My favorite part is the music, it was generally excellent and did a great job setting the theme/atmosphere for each area, had to set some time aside to listen to some of them, catchy tunes.
Overall I think this was a cool game and the difficulty level was just right imho.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars April 4, 2011
Not as good as the second one
The coolest thing about this was that you had access to all those awesome weapons at the same time. The weirdest thing was how you kept attacking your enemies over and over. What did not make this as enjoyable was how it simply went on forever and was too hard. I guess I could always train for it. It's also that the environment was not as good, everything just seems too ordinary. I want a larger variety of enemies with cooler designs.
At this point, I really do not care about how the animation is not the best. What matters is that you still had a good variety of songs being played and the voice actors did a good job. A pity I did not finish the last one so I do not quite understand this. Of course, I rarely do that with games here anyway. The coolest weapon was the bazooka.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars April 4, 2011
okaay, another one nailed
so, where will i begin? i will not anymore interfere graphics, except this much: you could've done better flames. seriously.
but to the story: it got deeper, as i expected, but in a cliche way. orbs ov three primary colors destroy the universe when wrongly used, and hunters (ofc) use them for wrong and bad. doesnt quite explain the part 2's hunter leader trying to kill player.
anyway, three orbs of unimaginable power sounds so old, we've seen this before, many times. lastly (as i remember) in FF XII, but in the form of nethicites. well no more of that, this aint ff xii.
game itself:
good scrolling camera, and the flight part brought back memories from sapce impacts. however, draco as a boss is quite hard, maybe too hard, and as a character blissed with voice actor aint much. other bosses, the vehicle and slimeblob, were basic toughness, which they should be, challenging but not overwhelming (imo).
well as some ppl hoped, you made pistol better. this is good so that old guns arent going to be useless in last stages. i believe there's gonna be more upgrades to old weapons and one new gun.
difficulty: challenging
stages of episode: street: good, good
sewer: too less checkpoints
tower: same, but little bit more annoying
flight: ah, the memories! challenging too
thanks for this. when you start the game, you play it to the end, so you'll be hearing of me (wanted it or not)

Hello Again!
I arrived home from TN and AL on Sunday night after spending time with the Evening Stars Guild in Pelham, which is a suburb of Birmingham. I'd never been to Birmingham before, so it was fun to wander around. You know me and antique malls! Even if I don't buy something, sometimes a photo is just the inspiration I need.
I really REALLY love the "Utility" style quilts best. The ones made not to win awards,but to cover those we love. To be worn out with the using, functional every day quilts.
These pics were taken in an antique mall in downtown Birmingham. Nothing came home with me, but the photos. Compared to others I've found, these were pretty pricey for the kind of quilts they are and the condition they were in. Still, don't you love this improved 9 patch? I love the colors and the splashy dress fabrics, definitely from someone's sewing basket! That yellow just brings in the sunshine, doesn't it?
How about a little string snowball/bowtie cutie pie in an old iron sits bath? Sometimes just looking at the ways quilts are displayed gives me ideas for home too....but I don't know where I would put a sits bath, nor could I fit in this one :cD I love the blue chambray that was used as the background fabric. Definitely an "every day work shirt" type of fabric, it gives a homey feeling to this scrap bag quilt.
This flying geese quilt was my fave find of the day. Very worn, but still wonderfully graphic. I think I see one of these in shirt plaids and stripes in my future! It's a classic!
I will admit to NOT being a lover of the average every day wedding ring quilt in all it's perfection. I made one once...my second bedsized quilt. Hand quilted. I think that was enough to make me NOT like the pattern, but I love this splashy version with it's big "squarish" rings instead of the perfectly round ones. It's got ATTITUDE! I love it when someone uses something other than "muslin" or "white" for the background..some bold IN YOUR FACE color! (like cheddar or red maybe?) It just gets me all excited. This one was made in the 40's. Very fun with the polka dots, lots of bold prints and a great accent of black.
And this one needs no introduction. It was just BEAUTIFUL in unwashed condition. I had to turn the binding over in my hand to check to be sure it wasn't a chinese knock off because it didn't have much quilting in it,but it is all hand pieced and quilted...binding applied by hand. Not a knock off, and never ever washed. Someone's prize. And here it is in an antique mall. *SIGH* That's almost sad, don't you think? I'm not sure what is sadder...for a quilt never to be used, or for family to sell it to strangers. Still, it was graphically lovely with it's traditional solid green and red on cream.
Wouldn't this look awesome on a wall at Christmas time?
16 comments:
ooohh bonnie, lovely antique quilts; especially the christmas-y one....i could take all these home easily; and i agree with you about the flying geese, plaids galore! btw, did you visit Vulcan while in Birmingham? I also went to the 16th St Baptist Church where the four little girls were killed as well....lots of things to see there for sure
ReplyDeleteVery sad indeed. I have to say I often wonder with all the quilts I've made and gifted if some of mine won't end up wrapping a refrigerator
in a move!
Love Birmingham, my brother and his wife live there. Lovely town and friendly folks.
Welcome home Bonnie, thanks for the quilt show. I love you finds :0)oh I love that red and green one I might have bought that one!
great eye candy this am...
oh that scrappy one in the bathtub I love too.
that would be fun to reproduce...
the flying geese reminds of me of one of you, yes you need to make that one!!!
can't wait to see your version.
glad your home safe and sound.. Hopefully sewing away
KathieI love all the antique quilts, but the last one in red and green is stunning, I guess you mean Birmingham in USA not Birmingham in UK where I live, we don't have any antique quilts to look at never mind buy! You are very lucky to be able to see, touch and photograph such lovely quilts. I hope all those I have made for friends and family get worn out with love.
ReplyDeleteBetter for the quilts to wind up at an antique mall than as a cat bed in the barn or in the trash! There's a little local quilt show near here where ladies seem to bring in anything and everything -- a sad number of old quilts had been rescued from dumpsters.
It's the "cutter" quilts that make me saddest.

David Toop
David Toop
Although British writer and composer David Toop's recorded output has included everything from experimental rock and jazz to musique concrete, the bulk of his solo and recent collaborative works have been in the vein of experimental ambient. Better known perhaps as a journalist and music historiographer, Toop is the author of a pair of widely hailed books -- Rap Attack and Ocean of Sound (both Serpents Tail) -- as well as a contributing editor and columnist for U.K. experimental music magazine The Wire. Recording since the early '70s, Toop's list of musical collaborators include everyone from Derek Bailey and John Zorn to Brian Eno and Prince Far I. However, it's his work as a solo composer and in combination with multi-instrumentalist Max Eastley, that have earned him highest marks. Toop and Eastley's 1994 collaboration, Buried Dreams, is a widely-hailed document of experimental environmental composition. A dizzying blend of found sounds, field recordings, electro-acoustics, and digital manipulation, its success (and critical popularity) also helped set the tone for Toop's subsequent solo work, Screen Ceremonies, released in 1996 on the Wire Editions label, as well as one-off tracks included on compilations released through Sound Effects and Time Recordings. He returned in 1999 with the mix album Hot Pants Idol. ~ Sean Cooper, Rovi

"Flyer-friendly" is "user-friendly" for today's customers
New ads express United's advances in network, fleet, product, service and customer technology
CHICAGO, Sept. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines today debuts its new brand campaign, featuring the iconic "Fly the Friendly Skies" tagline, reinterpreted for today's travelers.
The new campaign, United's biggest in more than a decade, is based on feedback from customers that "user-friendly" today means the combination of service, technology and product enhancements. United has designed its investments in its global route network, new aircraft, onboard features, customer service and digital channels to be "flyer-friendly."
The new television commercials and print ads are available at www.united.com/flyerfriendly.
"'Flyer-friendly' resonated in feedback from our customers and co-workers," said Tom O'Toole, United's senior vice president of marketing and loyalty and president of MileagePlus. "Our new brand campaign expresses the customer focus of all of United's investments."
The new campaign includes network, cable and spot television, radio, magazine, newspaper, out-of-home and digital advertising, plus social media. All of the United co-workers shown in the advertising are actual United employees.
Television Advertising
The new television commercials feature Gershwin's classic "Rhapsody in Blue," the musical score for United since 1987, and are narrated by actor Matt Damon. They begin airing nationally on Sunday – including during NFL football, the PGA Tour Championship and the Emmy Awards – and continue throughout the week during the prime-time premieres of popular network shows like "Modern Family" and "Saturday Night Live."
The first television spot, Orchestra, introduces "flyer-friendly" and features musicians playing "Rhapsody in Blue" while seated on a United aircraft. The spot showcases the space available in United BusinessFirst and United Economy Plus and in the airline's enlarged overhead bins, while spotlighting United co-workers in the cockpit and the cabin.
A second spot, Taxi, shows drivers taking United customers to various airports around the world, displaying the breadth of United's global route network.
A third, Built Around You, shows the features of United's cabins – extra-legroom Economy Plus seating, flat-bed seats in United BusinessFirst, in-seat power and seat-back in-flight entertainment – being configured around customers on board.
The fourth, Satellite, highlights the company's global satellite Wi-Fi now on many aircraft and rolling out fleetwide, which offers customers access to in-flight Internet connectivity over the oceans and almost anywhere in the world where United flies.
Print, Radio, Outdoor, Digital and Social Media
In addition to the television advertising, the campaign features:
The campaign will also be visible across United's sponsorship portfolio, including the 12 NFL teams United flies, the New York Marathon and the professional basketball and hockey teams the airline sponsors.
Each ad relates a United product or service feature to the word "friendly" – such as legroom-friendly, nonstop-friendly, and Wi-Fi-friendly – demonstrating how United delivers flyer-friendly options in many forms.
United developed the campaign with its global creative agency McGarryBowen. Horizon Media, Inc. managed the media investment.
Product & Service Investments
Since 2010, United has been delivering on its promise to build the world's leading airline, investing in its aircraft, airport facilities, reliability and customer service. The airline has:
About United

In 2012, United and United Express carried more passenger traffic than any other airline in the world and operated nearly two million flights carrying 140 million customers. United is investing in upgrading its onboard products and now offers more flat-bed seats in its premium cabins and more extra-legroom economy-class seating than any airline in North America. In 2013, United became the first U.S.-based international carrier to offer satellite-based Wi-Fi on long-haul overseas routes. The airline also features DIRECTV® on 200 aircraft, offering customers more live television access than any other airline in the world. United operates nearly 700 mainline aircraft and has made large-scale investments in its fleet. In 2013, United will continue to modernize its fleet by taking delivery of more than two dozen new Boeing aircraft. The company expanded its industry-leading global route network in 2012, launching nine new international and 18 new domestic routes. Business Traveler magazine awarded United Best Airline for North American Travel for 2012, and readers of Global Traveler magazine have voted United's MileagePlus program the best frequent flyer program for nine consecutive years. According to the 4th annual Switchfly Reward Seat Availability Survey published by IdeaWorksCompany in May 2013, United has the most saver-style award-seat availability among the largest U.S. global airlines. United is a founding member of Star Alliance, which provides service to 195 countries via 28 member airlines. More than 85,000 United employees reside in every U.S. state and in countries around the world. For more information, visit united.com or follow United on Twitter and Facebook.

There are many online teaching resources in the internet world. Some of them are very interesting. Please share that interesting teaching resources in this sharing so that teachers can save their times. I found the following website while I am searching about seed dispersal. It is very interesting and also informative about plants. Small kids can develop their scientific temper by waiting these animated lessons.
Bergin, thank you for this resource I know of several teachers who use sites like this one and I will definitely pass it on.
Are you also looking for other educators to share ideas and resources they use when teaching their students about plants? What level are your students?
I found the following resource - http://knowplants.org/default.aspx that seems to have a number of different resources for both the student and teacher regarding the studying of plants.
Does anyone else have any other good resources to share regarding this topic?
it is relly very good resource for a science teacher.Thanks
we can use the following link for students and teachers:
Thank you rubina for sharing your favorite link. As an example only I am sharing one science online resource link. If educators/ teachers shared their favorite links in one place for all subject ,other teachers can save the time of searching resources in a search engine.
Here is a geographical link in which you will gain a mental map of the world's continents, countries, capitals, & landscapes.
Thank you julia for sharing this wounderful link. A lot of information about plants are available in that site. Teachers of any grade can use this resources.
Here is a link to my classroom website's link page; it leads to websites in different areas of science, math, and technology:
When you click on the link, you will be asked to request access because this is a private wiki.
Thanks for sharing....these links are great!!!!!
Thanks for sharing the resources. I justed joined a new program called "Science Fusion". It has a lot of great science ideas. We are also working with the Mad Science of the Piedmont program this year as well. It really motivates the kids to learn their science.
