U.S. political culture suffers from a paucity of policy qua policy thinking. In this sense, I refer to "Big 'P' " policy, as in national policy. Whether about medical care, gun control or international relations, this paucity exists, and technology and education are no exceptions. The effect is pernicious. In technology, it lends itself to such issues as "crisis in cyber-security," "the growing digital divides" or the "dangerous diminution of privacy."

NEW YORK, Thursday—A letter from a lawyer in Cincinnati, Ohio, tells me that they are planning to convert the home of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," into a social center. There certainly never was an individual who more truly tried to change one of the evils of society. According to President Lincoln, Harriet Beecher Stowe was credited with awakening the conscience of many people in this country. It seems a fitting thing that her fellow citizens should preserve her home as a center for community activities.
Mr. Herbert Agar's book, "A Time For Greatness," has been out now for several days and I hope that many people will read it and find it stimulating.
It is not a book with which you will agree in every instance, but I warrant that no one will be indifferent in reading it. I enjoyed the sentence, "A society of saints could dispense with government altogether."
That is quite true. The very weaknesses of human nature are what make it so important that we keep a constantly watchful eye on our government, and that in turn our government watches us with equal care.
In Mr. Agar's chapter on the press, he mentions the fact that the press must be free in order to watch the politicians. I have an idea that the press should be free in order to watch all the groups who attain power. Power may be wielded for the benefit of human beings when wise men control it. The check of a really free press is valuable not only over politicians, but over capital and labor as well.
I like the verse:
And broad release above
Who lost their heads for liberty
Or lost their hearts for love?"
In the history of every country men have lost their heads for liberty and their hearts for love, and without such men we would have no civilization today.
There are many suggestions in Herbert Agar's book which you should consider carefully, but I am not going to spoil it for you by any further discussion. I am sure you will discuss it with your friends.
I wonder if you read not long ago, Mr. Hans Habe's article comparing the different armies he has known. He has been to many of our camps and lectured to so many of our soldiers that he knows them well. He is particularly impressed by the democracy which permits our men to ask questions with an entire lack of restraint even when the officers are present.

Charles Ponzi |
Carlo Ponzi, famously known as Charles Ponzi, was a criminal with a cunning mind and a slick way with speech. Unfortunately for him, his talents did not keep him out of jail. His name would become permanently associated with a type of investment fraud in which handsome returns are promised from made-up sources and early investors are supposedly compensated with money raised from later ones.
Early on
Charles Ponzi was born in Parma, Italy, in 1882. He grew up there and then moved to the United States in November 1903, when he was 21 years old. Ponzi saw many opportunities to pursue, but could not find his "nitch." Over the next 14 years he bounced from city to city, working as a waiter, dishwasher, clerk, and translator of Italian. Then, around 1917 he settled down in Boston where he took a typing job and answered foreign mail.
Ponzi worked legitimately for two years until one day he discovered a way to make himself and investors rich. From that day on, Charles pursued for "the gravy train" � beginning a life of lies and scandals. During that time he married a woman named Rose, who stayed by his side through thick and thin. Oh, how the money started coming in. Unfortunately for him, the scandals caught up with him, then his became a life on the run, of trying to avoid jail.
Ponzi participated in scams from Providence, Rhode Island, to Montreal, Quebec, where he wound up in prison for his efforts. But Ponzi's ambition was as big as his adopted province. He thought he was destined to be rich.
The Security Exchange Company
On December 26, 1919, Ponzi established a firm called The Security Exchange Company. He boasted a return of 50-percent interest in 90 days, and the world wanted in on it.
Ponzi�s great idea created an instant "feeding frenzy," and within a few short months, lines formed outside his School Street office door. Thousands of people purchased so-called Ponzi promissory notes at values from $10 to $50,000. The average investment was estimated to be around $325.
Ponzi and his staff brought in a million dollars per week. Desk drawers, file cabinets, closet space, and virtually any extra storage area were filled with investors' hard-earned cash.
The scheme
Ponzi, who swindled the gullible out of millions by 1920, invented what came to be known as a Ponzi Scheme, a scam in which early investors are paid with money from new investors (similar to today's "pyramid scheme"). The con game had been around for years, perhaps centuries. But Ponzi played it on such a grand scale, with such flair, and in full view of the media and the world, that he earned a prominent place in criminal history. Some historians have described Ponzi as "a celebrity."
The most notorious "Ponzi Scheme" took place when he began to trade postal reply coupons in 1919. Plenty of Americans in other countries could include such a coupon in a letter, to be redeemed at the post office for enough money to send a reply. Ponzi used his Securities Exchange Company as a front to trade the coupons and make a 200-percent profit. That was not how he continued his business, however. He eventually moved to Florida to pursue new schemes.
After authorities caught up with him in Florida, he fled to Texas, where he was apprehended and sent to jail. Upon his release, Ponzi's wife divorced him and he was eventually deported to Italy. At the age of 52, he had to start over again.
Later years
Ponzi became an English translator while in Rome. Benito Mussolini offered him a position with Italy�s new airline and he served as the Rio de Janeiro branch manager from 1939-1942.
Ponzi discovered that several airline officials were using the carrier to smuggle currency, and Ponzi wanted his share. When the smugglers laughed at him, he tipped off Brazilian authorities � leading to the arrest of three top airline officials. World War II brought about the airline�s failure, and Ponzi soon found himself without a job again.
Charles stayed in Rio de Janeiro with hopes of "finding his way" financially. After trying to run a Rio lodge (which failed), Ponzi found himself either collecting Brazil unemployment insurance or giving English lessons � a far cry from the millionaire that he had become just a decade earlier.
Carlo "Charles" Ponzi died in the charity ward of a Rio de Janeiro hospital in 1949, at the age of 67.
"The last picture of Ponzi, taken in the hospital, showed him with a big smile on his face." - Boston Globe

KANSAS CITY—Boulevard Brewing Co. and Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. today announced that Terra Incognita, their first commercial collaboration, will appear on retail shelves in June. The beer was originally brewed in very limited quantities for patrons of SAVOR, a Brewers Association event held last June in Washington D.C. Terra Incognita was so well received that the two companies decided to bring it back.
"We tried to create a beer that would highlight the strengths of each brewery – for us, our use of wild yeast and barrel aging, and for Sierra Nevada, their hop-centric talent and homegrown ingredients," said Boulevard Brewmaster Steven Pauwels. "It turned out so well we felt it was only right to make more and share it."
"The synergy between the two breweries was just too great to stop at SAVOR, " said Sierra Nevada Head Brewer Steve Dresler. "This is a tough beer to dial in, but we have a lot of fun with the challenge and can't wait to hear people's take on round two."
Terra Incognita, or "land unknown," celebrates the unique terroir of Boulevard and Sierra Nevada, located at opposite ends of the California Trail (an overland wagon trail in the early 1800s of about 2,000 miles across the western half of the US from Missouri river towns to what is now the state of California). The dark brown ale has an ambitious grain bill, is assertively hopped, and is aged – one portion in old wooden wine foudres and another in used whiskey barrels – for nearly three months. The roasty bitterness blends with subtle notes of herb and spice to create a dry, balanced beer. Barrel aging adds aromatic accents, while bottle conditioning with Brettanomyces yields a uniquely funky, earthy finish.
This year the limited release beer was brewed and packaged at Boulevard. Approximately 5,200 cases of Terra Incognita will be released throughout the company's 25-state distribution territory. The two breweries are already planning the 2014 version, which will be produced at Sierra Nevada and made available through its distribution network.

Modern Styles
The various styles or approaches of Modernism have similar characteristics— primarily the simplification of form and elimination of ornament. This was a significant departure from Western architecture, which was based on principles of Greek and Roman design. While the exact characteristics and origins of Modern architecture are still open to interpretation and debate, it is generally accepted that "Modernism" was superseded by Postmodernism and is now regarded as a historical style. Below are images and examples of the various sub-styles within the Modern movement. These will help you identify and learn about the various modes and philosophies of the Modern movement found throughout Washington State. Some of the sub-styles have accompanying descriptions. It is our goal to complete descriptions for each sub-style.

Licorice-Eared Mice Mini-Cakes
Treat guests to their very own cakes with these bite-size, licorice-eared mice.
For this dessert, you'll need a box of Betty Crocker Super Moist German Chocolate cake mix, which chef Mary Maher enhances with a couple of choice ingredients. To add flavor and moistness, replace the 1 1/3 cup water the recipe calls for with the same amount of grade-A dark maple syrup, and swap the 1/2 cup oil with an equal portion of pumpkin pie filling.
When it comes to frosting, Maher recommends Duncan Hines Classic Vanilla flavor.
16 cakes
- 1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist German Chocolate cake mix
- ⅓ c. grade-A dark maple syrup
- ½ c. pumpkin pie filling
- Black food coloring
- 1 tub Duncan Hines Classic Vanilla frosting
- Black licorice
- Coat a mini-egg cake pan ($12.99; Wine & Cake Hobbies) with cooking spray and fill each compartment to the top with prepared cake mix. Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes, then cool cakes on a wire rack. Repeat until you've baked 16 cakes.
- Slowly add black food coloring to 3/4 tub of frosting, while stirring, until frosting turns pale gray. Microwave for 10 seconds, and stir; repeat until frosting is thin enough to pour, then coat cakes.
- Apply pieces of licorice to form tails (cut to 4 inches) and shaped ears (cut to 2 1/2 inches), as shown.
- Slowly add black food coloring to remaining frosting, while stirring, until frosting turns dark black. Pour inside a freezer bag with one tip snipped off to create a piping sleeve. Use piping sleeve to draw eyes, nose, and whiskers.

Bates back on big screen in 'Tammy'
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Kathy Bates calls herself "an old lion."
The actress says she also plays one in the big-screen comedy "Tammy," which opened over the weekend. Bates portrays Lenore, a successful entrepreneur who figuratively slaps sense into the film's lovable loser of a titular character (Melissa McCarthy).
The 66-year-old "Misery" Oscar winner tells us more:
AP: I must admit I'm surprised to find you in this movie. You've done a few light comedies, including Adam Sandler's "The Waterboy." But we're used to seeing you in dramas.
Bates: I'd heard they (the creative team of McCarthy and husband Ben Falcone) wanted me for a part. I didn't know what part. I told my agent, "I will play a giraffe with green spots, whatever they say." (Laughs)
AP: What was the appeal of McCarthy?
Bates: Even when she gets outrageous, when she gets on the most ridiculous jaunts and puts a bag on her head and all of that, you go with it, because it's real. It's grounded in reality. You almost believe, "Hey! I'd do that, too."
AP: As Tammy and her grandmother (Susan Sarandon) careen out of control on their road trip, and in life, Lenore sets them both straight. She's a role model.
Bates: I think of Lenore as an old lion. It's taken her many years to create her business, to have a life for herself and (partner) Susanne (Sandra Oh). They met in college and I think they came out when it was very difficult for lesbians to be accepted.
AP: (The gay-cinema historian) Vito Russo would have loved that Lenore is incidentally gay. Her sexuality isn't the point of the character.
Bates: What I love about the way we are portrayed in the film is that Susanne and Lenore are a normal, healthy couple, which says, "You can't legislate who you love."
AP: What are the ties that bind you to Lenore?
Bates: I am an old lion, too. I'm nipping at the cubs quite a bit these days. When I get a young director who wants to do all these fancy shots and use all these wide lenses from a low angle, he'll get nipped. (Laughs) I have spent 50 years of my life learning about this craft. And I'm about to turn it over to the kids that are coming up, which I will do, willingly.
AP: But you're by no means retiring. You couldn't be much busier.
Bates: I can't believe it. Let's face it. When (her TV series) "Harry's Law" got canceled and right after that I found out I had breast cancer and I had a double mastectomy that summer, I was pretty low. And I felt like I'd been kicked to the curb. And I didn't know if I would ever work again. And then, a year later, along came Melissa and ("American Horror Story" producer) Ryan Murphy. I'm just grateful for all that.
A few months ago, I made the choice not to have (breast) reconstruction, because it occurred to me, "I don't want to go back to bed. I don't want to be on (the painkiller) oxycodone for two months. I'm having too much fun."
AP: Ryan cast you in "American Horror Story: Coven," and has said that you'll appear in some capacity in the upcoming "American Horror Story: Freak Show."
Bates: I know I'm part of the "Freak Show." We live in Jupiter, Florida. And it's the 1950s. I know it's going to be out there — a good place for an old lion to be.

Travel reviews by Mr M - Lancaster
As expected :)
On this trip, I visited Botswana & Namibia between 18-Jul-2007 and 10-Aug-2007 and I travelled with 1 other person.
The trip was well organised, long drives nicely broken up, acommodation at times even exceeded high expectations. We felt that Claires recommendations for alternative accomodation were particularly good.
It is our feeling that the situation in Etosha will need careful monitoring. If the prices continue to rise dramatically then Hobatere might make a more cost effective alternative. The metalled road to Hobatere once complete also makes this more accessible.
We both felt that Etosha may try to price itself at luxury prices. Game drives at night in Etosha were 450 Namibian dollars, ridiculous compared to Hobatere.
Feedback response
We are monitoring the new Etosha lodges very carefully indeed; they've a lot to live up to with their new prices - though a lot has been done to them. Some sort of refurbishment had been long overdue!

For the last two months, Brad Paisley has spent his Sunday nights parked in a cushy, space-age seat next to Kesha and Ludacris, judging contestants on ABC's reality-competition series "Rising Star."
More: Brad Paisley, scarred by mistakes, shares album his way
Soon, Paisley will be back to his full-time gig as a country music hitmaker — he'll release a new album, "Moonshine in the Trunk," on Monday. But before he does that, he'll perform one of "Trunk's" tunes Sunday night on the season finale of "Star."
Paisley has another appearance scheduled for Sunday — the front page of The Tennessean's Portfolio section. In the cover story, he discusses going against his label's wishes to "leak" the album's tracks ahead of time, why he signed on to "Star," and how the backlash against his song "Accidental Racist" forever changed the way he'll share his music.
"Rising Star" airs Sunday at 8 p.m. CT on ABC.

When the estate agent went into my bedroom I stood unusually close to him, and I could smell his aftershave and his hard cock fear in my nostrils. He looked good enough to eat in his lovely suit with his white shirt and a tie, holding his pen and board in his hand.
His eyes were big and blue and rather wide as I gently but firmly rubbed his cock through his trousers with my hand.
I pushed him into the cupboard doors and could see myself seducing him in the mirror. He didn't say anything and just breathed heavily closing his eyes in pleasure as I pulled his cock out of his trousers and got to my knees.
I took his cock in my mouth and sucked slowly, paying particular attention to the most sensitive areas using my tongue to its full potential and ensuring the best results.
He looked startled to hear footsteps coming towards the room and was wide eyed and astounded when Kelly walked in and started to kiss him. She was wearing only a white bath robe which she parted at the bottom and drew his hand in to softly touch her pussy.
As I sucked him I watched his fingers sliding into her pussy, easing into her arse hole and rubbing her clit and slowly building her up so that her clit was very hard. I couldn't help but wank him and lick her pussy with my tongue whilst he wanked her clit continually with his fingers. She loved it.
Then we swapped over and Kelly licked his balls and took them in her mouth one by one taking care not to touch his cock at all as the sensation might make him blow the lot before we had even got started.
He enjoyed playing with my clit and flicked it with his fingers and thumb. I looked down and could see his cock hard, wet and the foreskin was right back as it had now grown so large and hard that I was very turned on at the thought of him fucking me.
We pushed him down on to the bed and pulled off his trousers and pants leaving him with his shirt, tie and jacket on. I like a man half dressed with his cock out it's dirty.
Anyhow, Kelly sat on his face and fucked his mouth, making him lick her with his wide tongue. He enjoyed licking both her arse and cunt alike and I watched him sliding his tongue into her pink little arsehole and back again into her pussy hole.
I sucked his cock lightly and played with him, cupping his balls in my hand and ensuring he got so very good sensations. He couldn't see what I was doing but could feel my lubed fingers slipping around to his arsehole.
I slid my fingers into his arse a little and played with him whilst I sucked his cock. He felt good and tight and I couldn't wait to get my new pink strap on into there. He loved me fucking his arse with my fingers and groaned in pleasure mumbling in between licks saying to slow down or he would cum.
I stopped for a minute to let him cool off whilst he pleasured Kelly, fingering her arse for me to see whilst I took the time to put my strap on. My pussy was so wet and slippery and I fingered myself before pushing his legs right back so I could get my cock into his arsehole.
I just teased the entrance with it first as it is one of my bigger ones and I didn't want him to get hurt but I wanted him to enjoy the feeling so much as I do myself. I know having my arse fucked is the best sensation ever and I suspected that he had a virgin arse because it was so very tight as I pushed the tip in.
He was groaning with pleasure and when he became used to the feeling, he told me to go deeper. I was so willing to get my cock into him and pushed it in more and more. And eventually it was in deep and he loved it. I wanked his cock slowly as I knew this might make him blow; he seemed to have adjusted and gained some control over himself.
Kelly looked behind to see me fucking him and then started screaming that she was going to squirt into his mouth. He was in paradise, a beautiful woman cumming as she sat on his face and another fucking his sensitive arse hole.
She climbed down leaving her cum all over his mouth and he licked his lips. Then she bent over and took his large cock into her mouth as I kept fucking his arse. I was so horny watching him in pleasure.
She sat on his face in the 69 position and kept sucking him hard as I fucked him deep with my cock. His balls started to grow tight and I just knew that it wouldn't be long before he would cum in her mouth. The vibrating strap on had enhanced my feeling and I came suddenly in the harness. Kelly stopped sucking him and he shot his load of cum into her face and on her lips.
It was the best feeling ever to give so much pleasure and fucking a guy with a strap on is not only horny but quite hard work, I understand how tired you guys get now!

I had an evening outing with my friends to the Sandton City Mall to enjoy the festive environment out there.
Soccer Handicrafts
Brazil's Kaka Autographed T-Shirt
Maradona's T-Shirt
Me with Zukumi
We then headed to the North Indian Cuisine Restaurant – Dilli Durbar in Sandton. I have to say that this was the best Indian food that I have had in Johannesburg. The food was absolutely delicious and every different dish that we had ordered had a distinct flavor. Samosas and Tandoori Mushroom for starters, Paneer Tikka Masala, Dhingri Mattar and Dal Makhani along with Butter Naan and Rice for main course. It was a highly satisfying dinner and we returned back home to see the second half of the first Soccer semis between Uruguay and Netherlands. Again it was a very exciting match with totally 5 goals scored. The Dutch won 3-2 to proceed to the finals – I was a wee bit disappointed as I was backing Uruguay - Just for Forlan … the guy has had an excellent world cup till now .. it was shame they couldn't proceed to finals !! Anyways I am waiting for today's CRACKER match Spain vs Germany … I support is slightly swaying towards Germany. Lets see … May the best team win … It would be a memorable match for sure !

Agee Pyrex Bowls - Love those scallops - I imagine that most have chipped making very few perfect specimens available!

I can convert the string ID to numeric with the following command:
generate HHIDNO = real(HHID);
However, when I try to convert the numeric ID back to string, something is not working and thus I cannot merge with the main file where the ID is a string variable. Here is the command I used to convert the numeric ID back to a string ID:
generate HHID = " " + string(HHIDNO);
When you converted the string ID to a numeric ID you dropped the original string ID. Don't do this. Keep both versions of the ID in your original file. For merging, use whichever ID the 'other' data has (numeric or string).

If it hasn't already happened, usually it will take out the
Pressure Plate fingers and Clutch Fork (sometimes it will damage the Transmission Input casting-this is on earlier designs)- What year and make are we talking about here? |
If it only lasted 3000 miles then you did not have your free travel adjusted right, either that or you ride the clutch.
Don't keep driving it. If it goes out on you it may cause further damage. When the one went out on my blazer it took out the clutch fork and cost me $60. I had also previously replaced the clutch and throwout bearing before it wiped out again. The throwout bearing I was sold was a new type made out of some kind of plastic or fiber that later came apart. It was a POS. When I brought everything back to Advanced Auto I got a new clutch with a full metal throwout bearing. No more problems!
I believe that throwout bearings fail for two reason, first ridding the clutch and second the adjustment is incorrect. If this is accruing I would consider checking your driving habits and or the adjustment. The bearing should not be engaged when the clutch is out , no pressure on the peddle, the throwout bearing more then likely should last at the very least last as long as the clutch and pressure plate. (this could be a third reason)................
Theres another reason for failure...wear! Some things just wear out. My Blazer was a 1994 model. The reason I mentioned the so called new and improved throwout bearing is because I do not think it is a good product, from my own experience. Why Montea's bearing failed after 3000 miles may be for the reasons mentioned before or maybe just a faulty product. Keep us informed Montea. Thanks!
My son works in a shop and does a large amount of clutches. He now absolutely refuses to put in non-oem parts. He just did our neighbors complete clutch at the shop, 5.0 mustang. T/O bearing lasted 1 month! He checked and it was from some outsourced supplier. He told his boss "no more" since his boss won't pay him for warrantee work.
Anyways, all the above reasons from the other posts along with crappy "way west of LA" parts. Mark |
Thank you for all the replys
my adjustment is set right because its a hydraulic clutch and automatically adjusts itself, and another reason i know its not putting pressure on the bearing while pedal is because when there is 0 pressure on the pedal i get a light squeaking noise, supposed to be the clutch fork pivot ball area that i forgot to grease i was told. as for riding the clutch, i admit i will ride it a bit longer then i probably should in 1st gear and at lights i don't pop it into neutral and let the clutch out, but still even my original bearing with 130,000 miles was still working fine. although it felt pretty ruff when i pulled it out, the new one felt Very smooth and is sealed up. im going to go get a new bearing this morning, i would get a OEM one but im sure they will have to order it in and takes such a long time. this weekend we supposed to hit +18 degrees Celsius(64 Fahrenheit) up here in Canada so i want to get it done while its nice and before i grenade my whole clutch. |
Well got the throw out bearing job done this weekend, didnt take to long, had a friend help so i didnt kill myself with the tranny.
today before i swaped it out i was driving around quite a bit and never heard the bearing once, took for a good drive after the bearing replace and seems to be all good, but i guess i will see in the next few days. i hope it was the bearing. After pulling out the old bearing it seemed very smooth still but maybe a bit loose. Now to make this one last, what is the proper way of driving with the clutch? i realize slipping it should really only be 1st gear to take off, and at a light should i be popping it into neutral and letting go of the clutch? i dont know 1 person that does this but my friend that is a HET says its best to do. Thank you |

The game totally rocks it's so going to be on my radar. here ya go http://media.wii.ign.com/media/819/819756/vid_1968253.html
Hey, i think its pretty good, true on Paintballers part, that GAMES made from movies suck, the majority of them, but spiderman, i have to say your wrong on that one, cuz i liked spiderman on 64, and on the gamecube, i also played it on psx, and ps2, and it was great to me, On the REAL, i dont think any of the spiderman games were really flat out bad on the consoles! Come to think of it, they werent bad, or average, they were i guess you could say kinda good, but never the perfect side~
Sorry to say but there have already been threads on this in the past. Link: http://www.wiichat.com/nintendo-wii-gaming/23224-spiderman-3-a.html?highlight=Spiderman Other than that it seems like a good game and wouldn't mind purchasing it when it comes out. I also can't wait until the movie comes out.
It really does look like it has been made from the ground-up for the wii, basically becuz of the controlers and the wii-mote, this game i have feeling is going to be a great game for years to come!
Im sure someone if not everyone would agree, hey thats enough for me!! I cant wait for this game to come out, seeing how the vid was, im most definitely thinking of getting this game when it comes out!:thumbsup:
looks good hmmmm i thought only movies have special features like this spidey comes out in 2 weeks from today

VAR Analysis of the Monetary Transmission Mechanism in Vietnam
Understanding the monetary transmission mechanism is crucial to central bankers. We analyze the monetary transmission mechanism in Vietnam, using the vector autoregression approach (VAR) and focusing on the reduced-form relationships between money, real output, price level, real interest rate, real exchange rate and credit. We find consistent evidence that monetary policy can affect real output. Surprisingly, the connection between money and inflation is less clear in the Vietnam case. As for the transmission mechanism, the credit and exchange rate channels are more important than the interest rate channel.

Natural Light Becomes The First Beer In Space [VIDEO]
We've all spaced out a few times drinking beer, it's time to return the favor by sending a beer in space. Natty Light was first to accomplish this thanks to a couple of dudes who strap a beer cooler to a balloon along with a camera so we can all enjoy the ride.

Flying American adventurer to visit Papua New Guinea
By STEVEN MAGO :
IN EARLY June, some towns and tourist spots in PNG will play host to a flying American tourist. He will land in Rabaul from Munda in the Solomon Islands. The flying adventurer, 52 year old Robert Gannon from San Diego from Southern California is travelling around the world, meeting the people and experiencing local cultures. He is also attempting the longest aeronautical leg without an alternate (a place to land). Mr Gannon is circumnavigating the globe in his small Cessna 182L, which he named Lucky Lady Too in memory of the first Lucky Lady, a Cherokee which he crashed when taking off from Nairobi, Kenya on his African leg of his solo flight around the world in 1992. The plane was a write-off but he walked away from the wreck unscathed. Mr Gannon bought Lucky Lady Too in 2000, when he was approaching 50, to complete the mission he started to see the world. His PNG visit will be his last stop in his tour of Melanesia which will cover New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Solomon Islands. After his Rabaul port of call, he will visit Hoskins, Kiriwina, Tufi, Port Moresby, Goroka and Mt Hagen where he will leave the plane with a pilot friend to return to the US and re-enter PNG in September in time for the Goroka Show, among other tourist destinations including Tari, Ambunti, Vanimo, Karawari, Madang and Manus. Mr Gannon will leave via Momote (Manus) to continue north to Truk, Guam, Saipan and further north to Japan. He has flown around the Hawaiian Islands, Christmas Island (Republic of Kiribati), French Polynesian Islands, Cook Islands, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Norfolk Island, New Zealand, Lord Howe and Australia. Robert says he is looking forward to his tour of PNG. He added: I hope to see and experience the different cultures, meet the people, scenery, sights, sounds, tastes, smells, thoughts and beliefs. By the time he covers PNG, Mr Gannon will have visited 36 countries and landed at approximately 220 places in those countries. PNG journalist, travel writer and tourism promoter, Steven Mago will guide Robert during some of the PNG legs of the tour. Mr Gannon in front of his plane..

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.33 / 5.00 6,403 Views*edit* Frontpage! Thanks Tom, you're a doll! A sexy sexy doll! :3
Brace yourselves good folk of Newgrounds, this is not the sort silly weird cartoon you're used to seeing from me, and it's not the sort of stuff I'm used to creating. It kind of freaked me out having to be serious for the past week.
A few months ago a close friend of mine Justin Stephens told me he was directing the play A Skull in Connemara and asked if I would create an animated introduction for it. I said yes.
This animation was created to be twin projected onto the back wall of theatre before the beginning of the first Act of the play A Skull in Connemara, with the audience looking through the set and a layer of mist to see it. The result was very atmospheric, and I should be able to upload a recording of it in action soon so you can get a better idea of the final result. I've embeded a video of it in the newspost on my userpage so you can get a better idea.
The style was dictated by both the play, the music, and a story outline for this introduction which Justin created and gave me, which is quite a dark black comedy set in rural Ireland, about a man who has the job of digging up the old bones in the local cemetery to make room for the newly dead.
It's about a 60 / 40 split between rotoscoping (drawing over footage of actor Paul Kennedy) and my imagined animation, all created on a wacom cintiq drawing in white then "scratching back" with the eraser to create a scraper board or wood cut sort of look.
I hope you like it, and please leave me a review letting me know what you thought of it.
That randy bastard
P.S. If it's based in Ireland, you should change it to "Pub" instead of "Bar".
Public Pub? :3
kinda feel sad for the poor bloke having everyone blame him for the girls death and that he was so mournful for her loss he had to go dig her up = /
THAT ROCKED! ^_^b
He wasn't mournful, he was just feeling randy, or maybe hungry :3
That is really amazing
He goes to her grave to see her remains... creepy... but strangely amazing... I LIKE IT! :D
he got there too late to be able to eat her though, poor fellow :3
I loved it
Great job man 10/10
I love the sketchy graphics. Its my feeling that it is one of the most impacting kind of art.
The story was great and fit perfectly with the animation and music.
The music was also a very nice fit for the story and animation.
Awesome job and I hope that you make some more.
thanks, you're alright Spike Man! :D
Decoy1414 made my IQ drop 4 points
I thought retards couldn't use computers...
This was a great flash. It took a little while but I understand it, at least all there is to understand. It doesn't seem all that deep though. Very, to the surface if you will. Car accident, he gets in the slammer while the woman he killed (didn't mean to at that) rots in the ground.
It is rather surreal though, at least when you think about it.
Regardless, I enjoyed it very much. Good job.
thanks for the review, you're the first one to get an idea of time passing as he sits in jail :)

Re: Problem with CGI script.by december (Pilgrim) |
on Aug 04, 2002 at 03:36 UTC ( #187444=note: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
flock is a traditional unix/posix function which perl simply implements, I don't think there has been a similar function implemented in perl for windows. About the 'uninitialized' warnings, well... You didn't initialize those keys, that's all it's saying. I don't think it's a problem here, I get those often when not all cgi-parameters are given. Btw, you might want to upgrade your apache, since everything before 1.3.26 contains a nasty buffer overflow in the way chuncked encoding is handled (I don't think it's actively exploitable in windows, at least not more than an annoying DoS attack).

U.S.-designed Paramount series acoustic instruments are finely crafted and specially voiced to bring your artistic vision to life. Each all-solid guitar offers many legacy design elements of classic 60s models, including checkerboard purfling and rosette, pickguard shape and abalone and mother-of-pearl "Concert Tone" fingerboard inlays. Even with this art deco look, Paramount instruments still retain their footing in modern design. All-new Fender- and Fishman®-designed PM preamp systems are specifically voiced
