Breaking Ground: Monthly Tijuana Day Trip
This event occurred in the past
Date and Time
- Saturday, February 5, 2011 from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Tijuana, Mexico
Be a witness to your neighbors
Learn about border issues
Be transformed
Spend a day with the people of La Morita, one of the poorest and fastest-growing colonias (neighborhoods) in Tijuana. Many people have come from all over Mexico in search of a better life but struggle with the reality of low wages and still live in houses with dirt floors and no running water. You will have the opportunity to literally break ground when working to improve these conditions. At the same time, the grounds of our hearts break open to become more loving and dedicated to service. We go not just to help these families improve the quality of their lives, but to witness to Jesus' response to the question "Who is my neighbor?" Quite literally, the people of Tijuana are our neighbors, but they are also those most in need.
What does the day in Tijuana include?
- Meet at 7:30 a.m. for brief orientation and a one-hour drive to the San Eugenio Mission
- Physical labor project (planting trees, patching a roof, laying concrete, etc.)
- Share lunch and learn more about life in La Morita
- Visiting with people of La Morita either in homes, or a residential facility for people living with HIV/AIDS, or a shelter for migrant men closer to downtown
- View border fence in two different places and peer at the U.S. from the Mexican side, learn about the history and impact of the border, and pray for people who have lost their lives trying to cross
- Dinner (provided)
- Reflect as a group on the impact of the experience
- Return to USD by 9 p.m.

Today, Senator Mike Lee cosponsored S. Con. Res 7, a resolution expressing opposition to the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). The treaty contains several troubling provisions that could prevent the United States from coming to the aid of its closest allies, as well as limit the constitutional rights of Americans. Senator Lee was the 34th cosponsor of the resolution introduced by Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas, which gives the opposition more than enough votes in the Senate to block ratification of the treaty.
"The United Nations Arms Trade Treaty is deeply flawed, which is why a majority of senators recently voted to stop the administration from continuing to push it," said Senator Lee. " I have great concerns that this treaty can be used to violate the second amendment rights of American citizens, and do not believe we should sign any treaty that infringes on the sovereignty of our country. I am pleased to join 34 of my colleagues in signaling to this administration that the UN-ATT is a non-starter in the senate."

the age of 23 Scott Fischman became the youngest
player in the history of the World Series of Poker
(WSOP) to win two championships (Hold'em and HORSE).
In addition, he had two more in the money finishes
at the WSOP this year. And for anyone that thinks
this young player is just a flash in the pan,
he's had another 18 in the money finishes since
the WSOP and 3 final tables already in 2005. PokerLizard
sat down to discuss how this prodigy learned the
game and what future projects he has in the works.
Check Out All The
Lizard Interviews
PL: How did you first get interested in poker?
How long have you been playing serious poker?
SF: I got interested through a school friend
of mine named Jordan, who kinda grew up with a
poker background. I've been playing for about
five years, but professionally for two.
PL: When you say "professionally"
are we talking full-time?
SF: Yes, full-time to make a living.
PL: This past year, you became the youngest player
in the history of the WSOP
to win two bracelets. Was winning those bracelets
beyond your wildest dreams?
SF: I try not to set goals for myself that are
unattainable and will be too much of a let down
if I don't achieve them, and I've always had the
dream to win ONE bracelet in my lifetime, which
was basically my goal. Winning two in a row at
the beginning of my career was definitely something
I'm in awe of. It's still unbelievable to me -
there really aren't words that can explain it.
PL: What are some of your goals for this year?
SF: My goals for this year are to remain a successful
player and to end up in the top 10 of Cardplayer
magazine's Player of the Year standings again
(scott finished #7 in 2004), and of course to
win a bunch of money. I haven't even set a goal
of winning another bracelet this year because
it is so hard to do. Other goals for this year
including getting my poker site, thefishtank.com
(coming early April), up and running.
PL: Let's talk about the ESPN
broadcasts. Specifically, how they portrayed you
versus Doyle, the Crew, and then about Norman
Chad. Have you met him?
SF: Yes, I have met him.
PL: How did you feel about that whole broadcast
and how they portrayed you and the Crew?
SF: I thought it was great! ESPN has the power
and can portray people anyway they want. Some
of the guys got a little bit of negative coverage
and our coverage was a little weird, but I liked
it and didn't really see anything bad. I think
they did a great job.
PL: How about the Crew - is it still together
and do you still play in the same capacity like
you did while you guys were getting ready for
the WSOP?
SF: We've had somewhat of a break for the past
few months where everyone took a little time off
from when we were at the World Series, since we
were playing for about four months straight before
the WSOP. But with thefishtank.com coming out,
we will all be traveling and playing in some of
the bigger buy-in tournaments. I hope to get everyone
involved, so it should be really good.
PL: Can you give us some more detail about thefishtank.com?
SF: Thefishtank.com is going to be part of the
Doyle Brunson Network, which was formerly known
as the Platinum Poker Network and I'm really excited
about having my own site and working on promoting
it...should be a lot of fun. (Update TheFishTank.com
is now part of the Interpoker
PL: When will thefishtank.com be online?
SF: It should be up and running by the end or
March or early in April of this year.
PL: You and some other young players have taken
a bit of a beating on the internet for celebrating
your wins. Is there anything you wish you would
have done differently after getting caught up
in the moment?
SF: No. I try not to get caught up in what people
write online, since it's pretty much gossip and
hard to believe anyhow. For example, a few months
ago somebody reported that Dutch (Boyd) died in
a surfing accident. It's kind of tabloid in nature
and unrealistic. As far as celebrating, that is
something that I would never take back. People
that complain about the celebrations have obviously
never been in that situation. On the other hand,
that Swedish guy (Mattias Andersen - the infamous
JAAAAAA guy) who was screaming after every hand,
that's different - I was watching that thinking,
"give me a break."
As far as what I did (falling backward on the
table), and anyone who knows me or has ever played
against me knows that was the only time in my
entire life that I've reacted like that to a hand,
whether it was the worst beat of my life or the
best thing that ever happened to me. It was a
total out of body experience, I think - the reaction
I gave was totally spontaneous. I never planned
on reacting like that and was just very excited
and I don't think people should be faulted for
letting the joy overcome them.
PL: For that kind of money, I would've probably
stripped my clothes off and ran around the room
3 times.
SF: I can't believe that anyone is really upset,
irritated, or even cares about it.
PL: Other poker pros have commented on the electricty
present at the WSOP, and most people cannot imagine
what it's like to win an event...
SF: Definitely! Before I won that tournament,
I had never reacted so strongly. I would hope
that anyone who won their first title like that
would show some emotion.
PL: Did ESPN ever come around and try and make
you guys talk more and try and spice up their
SF: No, nothing like that. The guys would come
around after and say things like, "That
was great, we're glad you won" and how much
of a great show it was, that some of the others
were kind of drab. I've seen the production crew
at some of the other projects and they are always
rooting for me. That's about it. They never did
anything "scripted".
PL: The reason we're asking is others have told
us the WPT
encourages the players to talk more...
SF: I've played on the World Poker Tour a couple
times and they have never prompted us to do anything
more than we would normally do.
PL: Why do you think ESPN
decided not to show your HORSE victory? (for those
that have never heard of HORSE, it involves playing
different types of poker on a rotating basis throughout
the course of the tournament. The games are: H
old'em, O maha , R azz, S tud and Stud E ight
or better).
SF: No, they had a set schedule from the beginning,
of the 32 tournaments. I think they showed about
9 of them and HORSE was never included. They came
down and shot the very ending for the highlights
but that was it.
PL: Do you think they left HORSE off because
it would confuse the heck out of the average viewer?
SF: No, I think they planned on a limited number
of tourneys, since it was the first year to show
anything other than the Main Event and they weren't
sure how it would go over (with the public). They
wanted mostly the No-Limit events and Hold'em,
so HORSE was left off the list.
PL: Which do you enjoy more, cash games or tournaments?
SF: I play cash games here and there, but I definitely
prefer tournaments and online poker. I play cash
games as a break if I get bored.
PL: How often do you play online?
SF: I play online very often, pretty much every
day for at least a couple hours.
PL: I remember seeing you play on that big monitor
during the WSOP show, how big is that monitor?
SF: That monitor is 21 inches and I couldn't
live without it. It allows me to play four full-sized
tables without overlapping, so I don't have to
switch back and forth between tables.
PL: Overlapping tables is a pain - you end up
flipping back and forth, clicking the wrong button...ugh!
SF: Exactly.
PL: You seem to actually enjoy playing online
more than in brick-and-mortar casinos...why is
SF: I enjoy the variety most...as being champ
of HORSE may clue you in, I like to play all type
of games. Online gives me the opportunity to pick
and choose from a wide variety of games and limits.
I play SOOO much that I need this type of variety
to keep me on my toes and stay sharp!
PL: In your Cardplayer
columns, you mention working as a dealer for awhile.
Why did you become a dealer?
SF: I started dealing because I knew it would
be exciting and that I would be seeing and doing
something different every single day, and I wouldn't
be stuck behind a desk. The main reason I liked
dealing was for the amount of knowledge. I got
to learn all the games and watch the good players
as well as the bad players, and learn why the
good players were good. I learned countless tools
from being a dealer: table image, etiquette, etc.
Anything you need to know about being a good poker
player, I learned from being a dealer.
PL: How about dealing with irate players, what
was that like?
SF: It makes you realize what an ass a person
can be, and makes you see how you don't want to
act at the tables.
PL: So you'd say you learned a lot more dealing
than reading poker books or having a mentor?
SF: Yes, definitely. I've never read a poker
book. Most of my knowledge has come from dealing
and has been self-taught. Even in school I was
never a big reader. I was a good student, but
didn't read for the sake of reading. Being a dealer
is definitely the best for learning about poker.
PL: If someone wanted to follow in your footsteps
and become a pro player, do you have any advice
or pitfalls to avoid?
SF: As far as a lot of people wanting to become
a pro player, I would tell them to have a good
support system behind them and not to make the
decision on a whim. Definitely do not quit your
job to play for a living. I was pretty much playing
for a living for the entire last year I was dealing,
meaning I was making more money as a player than
as a dealer. But I still never quit dealing. A
person should take their time and make sure they
have some support behind them in case you fail.
PL: You seem to have blown away the myth that
poker dealers can't play well.
SF: I don't know where that myth came from, it's
not true! The myth probably came from the fact
that a lot of casinos will let you play when you
are on the clock or when you get off shift. I
can remember days when I'd get off shift and want
to play to just rail some guy who wasn't tipping
me. I guess when you go after someone like that,
they may get the perception that you can't play.
Most of the dealers I know are great players.
PL: Wasn't one of your final tables comprised
of several dealers?
SF: Yes, it had me, Joe (Awada), Kent Washington…Joe
is a great player, Kent worked as a dealer, all
of my friends who are dealers or ex-dealers are
all great players.
PL: Tell us a little about the imallinwear.com
deal you have going. Do you own that company?
SF: No, I don't own the company, I endorse their
product line. They make high-quality clothing,
not like the cheap stuff you can buy on the street
here. It's good gear, very nice, comfortable and
I like it a lot.
PL: You've won over $300k since the WSOP in addition
to your 4 cashes there. Do you feel vindicated
from people who claim you were just lucky during
the WSOP?
SF: Anyone who says that obviously doesn't have
a full knowledge of what's going on. Since the
world series, I've won tournaments, made final
tables - I've already made three final tables
this year and not just in Hold'em. I've been pretty
much tearing it up every time I sit down at the
table. That was why I was so excited to win the
HORSE tournament. With the big fields at the WSOP,
it does involve a lot of luck. The HORSE tournament
on the other hand, doesn't really involve luck.
If you look at the past winners of that tournament
and talk to knowledgeable players, they will tell
you the same thing. Doyle Brunson has said that
the main event should be HORSE - that gives me
chills down my spine, knowing that I have the
talent to win a tournament like that, and that
he has so much respect for it!
PL: Has being a poker pro been all you expected
it to be?
SF: Oh...it is much, much different than I thought
it would be. It's much better than I ever thought
it would be. I figured I would be down at the
Bellagio every day playing $15/$30 or $30/$60,
and it's nothing like that. It's incredible! Different
things happen every day that I am in awe of. It's
kind of like being a movie star - it's crazy,
and I never thought it would be like this. I thought
it would be a grind. Playing cash games actually
can be a grind if you're just a regular pro poker
player, but tournaments are different. For the
average pro, the game is a grind and is not all
glamour. I've been very fortunate.
PL: Which players do you like to play against
and who are some of your toughest opponents?
SF: There are so many, and I've never even had
a chance to play with guys like Daniel. I've played
in a lot of tournaments over the past year, and
the only time I've played with Daniel was for
a little while during a 7 card stud tournament.
Guys like Phil Hellmuth, I've been at their table
once, Doyle one time, Gus...never. John Juanda,
a couple times...he's incredible. It's hard to
say, there are so many players today and there
are guys no one has really heard of - John Pham,
Jason Tran - in my opinion these are two of the
best players around, but since they haven't won
anything on TV, most poker fans don't know them.
But if you're a poker player on the circuit, you
know them. I would like to get some more time
at the table with Doyle and Daniel, Phil, Johnny
Chan, all those guys.
PL: It makes sense, with those huge fields, the
true star players are becoming few and far between.
SF: Exactly. You just don't get an opportunity
like 4 or 5 years ago when only 100 people played
and you saw the same guys at every tournament.
I think these big fields are detrimental to a
guy like TJ Cloutier who has such a great memory
and can remember how someone exactly played a
hand against him in the past, he was the best
player when the fields were smaller due to his
memory and he knew what everybody was going to
do all the time. Now that's difficult because
there are so many unknown players that it's impossible
to have a read on everybody.
PL: What characteristics do you possess or are
necessary to become a world class player?
SF: Discipline, patience, memory are definitely
things that are common characteristics in all
of the best players. Instinct, control, and some
other things are also huge.
PL: If I had to guess, I'd say you are more of
a "feel" type player than a "math"
by the book type player, is that the case?
SF: I generally don't pay attention to the math
of the game. In tournaments, winning has a lot
more to do with your stack and your position in
the tournament versus the odds that the pot is
laying you. It doesn't matter how much the pot
is if you have to call all-in on a draw, it's
generally not a smart thing to do. So I generally
don't care about the math - you can feel when
it's right or wrong to call, you don't have to
know the math to be successful.
PL: You recently played in the WPT Invitational
out in LA. Didn't I see you sitting next to Mimi
SF: Yes I was, and she's actually a pretty good
player. She was still playing when I was knocked
out in 18th place.
PL: Was it distracting at all, sitting next to
SF: (laughs) a little, I really didn't want to
beat her since she was so nice, she was the only
one at the table that I didn't want to knock out,
which was sort of weird. Usually, I don't care
if you're my best friend I'll try and bust you.
PL: Did you play with any other celebs?
SF: The celebrities were everywhere, and the
weird thing was, they were treating us like the
celebrities, asking us questions...they are very
intrigued by our business.
PL: What do you do away from the table during
your down time?
SF: My time away from the table is spent playing
online. I don't really do anything else. I've
been so consumed with the game and the learning
process involved and trying to get better and
better that there's not much room for other things.
I'll go out on occasion with my friends, have
a few drinks, maybe hit a strip club, but most
of the time it's poker...poker...poker!
PL: You seem to do well in tournament Hi/Lo split
pot games what do you like best about them?
SF: I like them because there are a lot of players
that believe there is only one way to play hi/lo
games, but I've found a different way to play
that is very successful versus those types of
players. It's also more of a black and white type
game - there is almost no grey area involved so
you can take greater advantage of other people's
PL: Do you prefer them over Hold'em?
SF: A lot of people ask me which game is my favorite,
it's really hard to say since I enjoy playing
all of them.
PL: Whichever game you're dominating is your
favorite I guess?
SF: (laughs) Exactly.
PL: Do you think poker can keep growing like
it has been, or do you think the buzz will die
SF: I think it will keep growing, you can't go
back to what it was, it's acceptable to play now,
in the past it was forbidden and taboo, now grandmas
are playing it, everyone is happy to say they're
a player. It's not hidden anymore like the guy
who would tell his wife he had to work late and
sneak off to play.
Obligatory PokerLizard Question: If you were
Matt Damon in "Rounders" how long
would it have taken you to kick your girlfriend
to the curb and get with Famke Janssen?
SF: (laughs) I probably wouldn't have had a girlfriend
in the first place because it just doesn't work
with this lifestyle. It reminds me of last night:
one of the young guys had his girlfriend sitting
behind him and someone asked him, "how long
have you two been together", the guy looked
at his watch... It usually doesn't result in a
happy relationship. Unless you're married or have
already been together and know what to expect
there is too much travel and too much time required
for most relationships to be successful. As far
as Matt Damon's character in Rounders, she would
have been out right away.
PL: Any strategy for this years WSOP due to the
huge fields?
SF: Everyone talks about how the day you bust
out of the main event is the worst and most depressing
day of the year and yada yada yada, but for me
it's going to be the exact opposite. With 6,000
players, it's a crapshoot, the best player isn't
going to win. It's going to be a total fiasco.
I'm going to go in and play my game, and if I
get beat, I get beat. There are other tournaments
that I'm looking forward to.
A long time ago a doctor wrote that if you were
dealt pocket Aces over and over and go allin each
time and get called, after 4 or 5 times you actually
not the favorite to survive. I think of that and
I think of the huge amount of luck it's going
to take to win the big one.
PL: Are you planning on playing any of the WSOP
circuit events? New Orleans etc...
SF: Yes, I'm actually headed down to San Diego
to play in one. My goal is to qualify for that
$2million freeroll - if I qualify early, I probably
won't head to the others.
PL: Thanks a lot Scott, keep up the good work
in CardPlayer and good luck.
SF: Thanks

Despite its better looking and consistency with other GNOME apps, removal of its features including compact view, tree view in sidebar, extra pane, and many other features available in its predecessor that are considered important features for many, has made users consider to find and use alternatives.
Ubuntu team has decided to stick with Nautilus 3.4 for its upcoming Ubuntu 12.10. Other Linux distro, Linux Mint team has had even more further move, by forking it, creating Nemo, a Nautilus 3.4 fork that keep its features, with some other useful addition.
Nemo is a full featured file manager, like Nautilus 3.4 plus more. Some of its features are all the features that Nautilus 3.4 had and which are missing in Nautilus 3.6 (all desktop icons, compact view, etc..). It also has better looking compared to Nautilus 3.4, especially its toolbar and also sidebar:
Nemo vs Nautilus 3.4
Other features are customizable toolbar, and also built-in useful context-menu items like "open as root (administrator)" and "open in Terminal".
For you who want to try to use Nemo in Ubuntu, you can install it in Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.10. Here's how.
Install Latest Nemo in Ubuntu
Install Nemo StableThis is stable release, recommended for most users/systems.
Open up Terminal, and run the following commands (one-by-one):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nemo nemo-fileroller
Install Nemo Nightly (Testing)This version provides more features, but less stable, contains more bugs.
Open up Terminal, and run the following commands (one-by-one):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-nightly sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nemo nemo-fileroller
Note that installing Nemo will also install latest Cinnamon (currently Cinnamon 1.6) into your Ubuntu installation (but it's O.K, it wont replace your default Ubuntu session; it just add a new entry in login session list).
Additional Notes
As of now, most GTK themes available today are still not yet "compatible" with Nemo, because they were not designed specifically for Nemo, so Nemo won't look good when using those themes. Don't worry, you can use my theme, the theme I use for the above screenshots. Download here.
New packages have been added recently into the above Cinnamon repository. One of the most important ones is
nemo-fileroller, an extension that integrates the File Roller (compression utility) service with Nemo. I think a compression/extracting utility is a very basic/standard feature which should be there in any file management app including Nemo, so I updated/added nemo-fileroller package to the installation instruction above.
Now Nemo is perfect: fully-featured and good looking. And with added extension, it can be used as a full replacement of Nautilus file manager, at least for me. I use Nemo over Nautilus for everyday file management task now, even in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Read this post if you want to replace Nautilus with Nemo as default file manager in Ubuntu:

TEL AVIV (Aug. 6)
The chief of Israel's intelligence service, whose name is being withheld, today continued his testimony on the plan of the underground group "Sarafand" to blow up the Soviet embassy in Tel Aviv. He said that the leaders of the terrorist group planned to carry out their plot immediately after Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin sent a harsh letter of warning to Israel's Premier David Ben Gurion in connection with the Sinai operation.
As soon as the intelligence service learned about the plot, it warned known members of the underground group, the chief of the secret service told the court today. He was pleading against the release under bail of Yaacov Herouti, charged with leaderships of the underground movement. The prosecution asserts that Mr. Herouti is the head of the terrorist group that assassinated Dr. Rudolf Kastner last March.
The intelligence official also testified that his organization knew about underground plans to assassinate British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd early in 1956. He also said the intelligence service learned about the plans to kill Eric Johnston, President Eisenhower's special Ambassador on Middle East irrigation plans, late in 1956 when a former underground member, identified only as Elishvili, confessed that plan. The intelligence chief stated that Elishvili said he was prevented by Herouti from sending a bombtrap to the then Prime Minister Moshe Sharett.
Police contacted all persons who had been convicted of membership in the "Sarafand" underground group who were known still to be active and warned them that all of their plans were known, the head of the secret service declared. He asserted that the release of Herouti would be a public danger since he might seek to carry out the thwarted plot.
He revealed that Premier Ben Gurion had been asked to invoke anti-terrorist regulations permitting arrests of underground members without court orders. The request had been made because the intelligence service lacked legalistic evidence for such arrests, but it was rejected by the Premier, the official testified.

Toon Zone Throwdown Round 2: Top 5 Duels
Here at Toon Zone News, we firmly believe that non-violent solutions to Real World problems are the ones that should be actively sought out and implemented. These solutions are harder to do, but if done correctly, they will tend to be more permanent, resulting in less ancillary suffering of innocent bystanders and more long-term happiness for all parties involved.
That's why we want our cartoon characters to solve their problems with as much violence as possible.
So, to commemorate the opening of Kung Fu Panda last week and The Incredible Hulk movie this week, and with tongues placed firmly in cheek, the staff at Toon Zone News has pumped up the adrenaline and the testosterone to put together the Hulk-sized Toon Zone Throwdown: our completely subjective picks for the best slugfests in animation, divided into five categories of five fights each. There will be one new Top 5 list per day, starting Monday and running to the opening of The Incredible Hulk on Friday.
In addition to the screenshots for these fights, any title that's a link will take you to a legal video of the TV show or movie in question, either streaming or downloadable for a fee. Nothing brings across a fight like seeing it in motion.
When it comes to killing someone, you can't get fairer than a duel. With a weapon of choice in one hand, and the opponent's heart in the other, duels have been the ultimate way to correct a matter of honor, finish an argument, or simply woo the tender heart of a charming lady. Yes, duels have a simple social legacy that rips through the quagmire of complications – no need for politicians, social workers, or Montel Williams. You just need two weapons, two people and preferably a change of underwear.
So while the art of stabbing/slicing/shooting your rival honorably through the heart is considered a faux pas in these enlightened days, we can at least enjoy the thrill of a good duel on our television sets. After all, it is the simplest resolution to any dramatic struggle – it is the culmination of a storyline streamlined into absolutes: hero vs villain; good vs evil. It is personal drama at it's most intimate bringing the most final of solutions. Deep down, we all love a good duel.
Unfortunately, given the duels aggressive nature, its logistical headache for animators and the sheer lack of scale, duels have never had quite had the presence in animation as gunfights, star-fights and large lumbering robot-fights. Nevertheless, with an eagle eye it's not too difficult to find some diverse examples of how animation has used duels to great affect.
So what quantifies a good duel? The answer is as simple as when the blades and pistols met for real – it has to be longer than we immediately expect, and more entertaining that we previously hoped.
So here's a rundown of five excellent examples of animated duels, each using a slightly different mixture of elements to create the entertainment we crave.
All these writeups may contain spoilers. Ready? Then let's FIGHT!
Samurai Jack Vs Shinobi
Samurai Jack: "Episode XL" (2003)
Directed by Robert Alvarez, Randy Myers, and Genndy Tartakovsky
Why: When it comes to duels, you can't beat Samurai Jack for a spectacle of smart direction and stylish animation. And this season four episode heralds an example of dueling in its most innovative form. Staged in a tower as the sun sets, creating powerfully contrasting shadows, Jack faces off against a deadly robotic ninja assasin. With the white samurai against the black ninja, this becomes the ultimate duel of contrasts: white vs black.
Quite frankly, I've never seen such an impressive fusion of thematic narrative with visual action. The duel between the black ninja and the white samurai literally creates a stark battleground of black and white. With no shades to the animation, it's a battle that crosses two stark tones. Such an abstract conception must have taken some planning, but it paid off for the final cut. This is a duel with artistic flair that challenges the very expectations of animated fights and has to be there as one of the top five. A memorable moment for Samurai Jack, and a truly monumental moment for animated duels across the board.
Flash Gordon vs. Ming the Merciless
The New Adventures of Flash Gordon: "Chapter 16: Ming's Last Battle" (1979)
(Director unknown)
Why: Back in time we go, near thirty odd years. Proof that break-neck animation is not essential to a darn fine duel. In this Filmation classic, we have the first season finale culminating in a showdown between the dashing Flash Gordon and Mongo's mighty tyrant – and uncanny Skeletor impersonator – Ming the Merciless.
It may lack the sparkle of contemporary animation, but as duels go, you can't beat the sheer iconic nature of Earth Champion Flash Gordon taking on ruler of the universe, Ming the Merciless in a fight involving swords, guns and the occasionally hurled piece of rubble.
The rest of the cast can only watch on in awe as the duel has Flash and Ming scaling walls, swashbuckling across balconies, and parrying atop dizzying towers — enemies and friends united in the sheer sweepstakes potential of the moment. With a solid storyboard, effective pacing and a trumpeting score, the mood is captured succinctly and a fight for the universe makes this a duel a must. It may lack the slick edge of some of the other entries, but it makes up for animated shortcomings in classic dignity.
Anakin Skywalker vs. Asajj Ventress
Star Wars: Clone Wars: "Chapters 17-19" (2003)
Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky
Why: Well, I can't honestly say it's the lightsabers. After six films of the blighters they seem as common as dish mops.
On his hunt for the Asajj Ventress, Anakin Skywalker tracks the Sith warrior to Yavin IV where they commence an extended lightsaber duel across the forest moon that takes up two entire "micro-episodes" of the first season of this show. What makes this duel special how it invokes diversity in pace and direction to sustain its long duration. The duel plays out across a wide variety of grounds and circumstance, starting on a battle on the forest floor that ends up in the trees, before a stand-off by the rain soaked temple, sabers hissing and crackling under the thundering precipitation.
Directorial touches slow the duel down and then crank it up when necessary. There is room for pregnant pauses and even some visual humour. Certainly, this is a duel worthy of the big screen – and who can be surprised coming from the series of films that still owns cinema when it comes to the ultimate dueling weapons: the dish mop…sorry, lightsaber.
Tom vs. Jerry
"Duel Personality" MGM (1965)
Directed by Chuck Jones and Maurice Noble
Why: Proof that a good duel doesn't have to be a serious one. You know the score. Jerry hits Tom, Tom attacks Jerry, and on they fight, ad infinitum. Under the talented direction of the mighty Chuck Jones, there came an episode where the ultimate comic foes played out the ultimate comedy duel. Here, Tom and Jerry pull out every dueling arsenal in the book. Pistols? Yep. Fencing? Definitely. Bow and Arrow? Gotcha. Cannons? That too. Even slingshots get a look in. On an unusually even battleground, Tom and Jerry duke it out, and even the irritating mouse isn't immune from a few blows this time. It's a lot of fun and has to be the ultimate animated comedy duel!
Cloud vs. Sephiroth
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (2005)
Directed by Tetsuya Nomura and Takeshi Nozue
It was a film that didn't exactly have Final Fantasy fans series in united applause. But whether you loved it or loathed it, the final battle between confuzzled hero Cloud Strife and resurrected sly dog Sephiroth has to be one of the biggest epic duels in animated history. Setting aside any fan squees for the much anticipated return of video games' biggest icons, this swordfight truly is as epic as it comes.
The 3D animation is incredible, and the battle is waged over a gigantic playing field. Midair flights slam through office floors and even have them carving up buildings as the clash in freefall. The bombastic accompanying soundtrack is full of orchestral wonder, chanting choirs and electric guitars, an aural crescendo to this battle beyond battles. If that wasn't enough, heck Cloud's sword itself is actually six different swords combined, as Sephiroth soon discovers in Cloud's final devasting move.
Yes, on all counts, it is an epic duel pushing animation and fight direction to the limits. A duel between two mighty icons of contemporary entertainment pitched in a world with few physical constraints. The truly epic duel.
So there we go, five diverse duels spanning over forty years of animation. Proof that even something so simple as a fight between two people carries such potential when put in the hands of great creative minds.

THE parents of a Stourbridge teenager with a rare kidney disease are appealing for other youngsters with a kidney condition to come forward to offer support for their son.
Jake Woolfenden was a fit and healthy 18-year-old, until he was rushed to Russells Hall Hospital with a large blood clot on his leg in May last year.
His world was turned upside down when tests showed he had focal segmental glomerulonesclerosis (FSGS), a rare disease that causes the immune system to attack and slowly destroy the kidneys.
The condition means Jake's kidney function will deteriorate until eventually, his kidneys fail completely.
It is possible that he will need a kidney transplant in the future, but the disease will continue to attack the donor kidney, as it did his own.
Jake, now 19, has to take 22 tablets a day, follow a restricted diet plan and must wear compression tights for the rest of his life to control the condition.
Before the diagnosis, Jake, of Norton Road, was training to be a telecommications rigger at A&S Rigging in Kidderminster, where he worked alongside his father, Adrian.
As he was unable to continue in that role, bosses found a new position for him in the warehouse.
His father said: "Both bosses have been fantastically understanding about Jake's condition. The the new position allows him rest days and time to attend hospital appointments."
Although Jake is continuing to work and go about his daily life, his mother, Bridgette, said he has many questions about his condition that she can't answer.
She said: "It's hard to watch. When he was diagnosed he had just finished college and got his first job, we were thinking he was going to leave home and fulfil his dreams.
"He was fit and healthy before the blood clot.
"He has coped amazingly well but he comes to us with questions that we don't know how to answer.
"He emails people around the country but it would be better if he could see someone face-to-face that knows what he is going through."
Mrs Woolfenden added: "Thousands of people out there could have kidney disease but have no idea, it's a silent killer.
"When you look at people, you have no idea if their lives are being turned upside down."
Mr Woolfenden has urged any young person with a kidney condition to get in touch by calling 07813078256 or sending an email to email@example.com.

Another Record High Broken in St. Cloud
ST. CLOUD – For the second day in a row we've set a record high temperature in St. Cloud.
Yesterday's (Tuesday) high was 52 degrees. The old record was 49 degrees set in 1990.
We've already had three record highs this month, after setting two new records last month.

How do you do it? Here is an example of what I mean. q = "0.2893798172383982716" other then doing long division how do you find, say, 7 in q. Or rather is there a formula for finding, if n = 5 the outcome would then be 3 in
q. or if n = 13 the outcome would be 8.
why would i want to do this? just cause, i guess, asking and looking at things.
Well, you know how to do long division, don't you? Just start dividing and keep going until you get to the desired digit.
Depends on how far in you want to go. Reedbeta's idea is KISS for low n's. But, if you want mathematical formula (cuz it's getz the chicks, right? Right!?!) a fancy way to get it is that the nth digit of a/b is the 1st digit of (10\\^(n-1)a mod /b, a.k.a. floor(10 * (10\\^(n-1)a mod B) / B) mod 10.
That is what I was looking for. And yes it gets chicks!
Convert to a string and then just index it
I can't imagine any situation where this would actually be a performance bottleneck.

i dunno if it actually rebooted, but i did as you suggested the power light did flash when i was holding the button to turn it back on....but it didn't change the screen on the broken half.....stayed frozen the the text that was up when i dropped it
Did it turn OFF first?
yes the non frozen part did, not the upper right diagonal half that is frozen....it has not responded to anything,
I see. So when you SLID AND HELD the power button for 20 seconds, the non-frozen part of screen went OFF but not the frozen part, right?
yes sir
And when you slid and held power button again for 20 seconds, kindle re-booted but without any effect on the frozen part, right?
It seems screen is in problem.

Thanks to Bill Slawski of SEO by the Sea for the reminder: Proposed FTC Endorsement and Testimonial Ad Revisions Add Blogs, Message Boards, Street Teams.
The FTC is considering their first new revisions involving endorsements and testimonials in advertising since 1980, adding blogs, message boards, and street teams to their coverage, as well as imposing stricter guidelines for disclosures in ads.
* Example 5:
A skin care products advertiser participates in a blog advertising service. The service matches up advertisers with bloggers who will promote the advertisers products on their personal blogs. The advertiser requests that a blogger try a new body lotion and write a review of the product on her blog.
Although the advertiser does not make any specific claims about the lotions ability to cure skin conditions and the blogger does not ask the advertiser whether there is substantiation for the claim, in her review the blogger writes that the lotion cures eczema and recommends the product to her blog readers who suffer from this condition.
The advertiser is subject to liability for false or unsubstantiated statements made through the bloggers endorsement. The blogger also is subject to liability for representations made in the course of her endorsement.
The blogger is also liable if she fails to disclose clearly and conspicuously that she is being paid for her services. [See section 255.5.]
In order to limit its potential liability, the advertiser should ensure that the advertising service provides guidance and training to its bloggers concerning the need to ensure that statements they make are truthful and substantiated. The advertiser should also monitor bloggers who are being paid to promote its products and take steps necessary to halt the continued publication of deceptive representations when they are discovered.
Do you know and understand your legal responsibilities in your jurisdiction(s)?
Hey, let's be careful out there.

Happy Hour: Left Coast Wine Bar & Gallery in Glendale
$15 wine flight (L-R: Pinot Noir; Merlot; Riesling) at Left Coast Wine Bar & Gallery
Christine Chiao
Place: Left Coast Wine Bar & Gallery, 117 E. Harvard St., Glendale; (818) 507-7011.
Hours: Daily 4 - 7 p.m.
Deals: $15 wine flights (three 3-oz. pours of choice); $5 house red or white wine; $5 sangria; $4 draft beer (not including Chimay). There are four options for food from a cheese plate to grilled sausage, starting at $5 to $8.99.
Vibe: Left Coast Wine Bar & Gallery is diagonally across the street from the Americana at Brand. Away from the crowd, the two-floor bar with outdoor front patio is mostly a wine bar during happy hour and an entertainment space, with nightly live music programs as it gets later. The outdoor shopping center, on the other hand, has designated spots for drinks, music and little overlap of the two.
The latter is likely one reason why an Americana shopper might stop by for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc on a weekday -- joining professionals looking to unwind post-work. Even with contemporary art hung against the walls, the main attraction remains the wines, many bottles of which are kept upstairs.
When ordering the customizable wine flight, co-owner Rachelle Ryan may be at hand. In this case, she'll help you choose three varietals you'd like to drink and then fine-tune them further with a suggestion or two. At $15, the range of choices for the flight is wider than average, making it a solid happy hour deal. The sangria is a no-nonsense cocktail with minimal sugar; the affable Ryan might acknowledge this when asked, and offer sugar to accommodate.

Victoria Azarenka is taking the tennis world by storm.
The 24-year-old, who has held the world No. 1 ranking before, is the defending champ of the Australian Open two years running. She also went to the semifinals of Wimbledon in back-to-back years, in 2011 and 2012, and made it to the final of the French Open this year and the U.S. Open last year.
Azarenka can also hold her own in doubles. She's won big matches with many different playing partners, including Caroline Wozniacki, Elina Vesnina, Tatiana Poutchek, Shahar Pe'er, Bob Bryan, Vera Zavonareva, Maria Kirilenko and Max Mirnyi.
She also happens to be dating Redfoo of LMFAO. The couple celebrated her birthday together earlier this summer, and he can be spotted at many of her matches.

Urban birds
The human mind gets bored easily.
When you smell something for long enough, you stop noticing it. We are equally inattentive to things we see routinely — our eyes see them, but our brain doesn't pay much attention, and we sort of look right past them, as though they were invisible.
The same holds true for common species of birds.
I am willing to bet that on most days when you step outside in the Grand Valley, or even look out your window, you see at least one of the following three bird species: house sparrow, European starling and pigeon.
These birds are commonplace around cities, suburbs and agricultural settings. Some birders call them "trash birds" because they are like visual trash that your eyes have to sort through to pick out the unusual or desirable birds.
I am starting to think that term is a little unfair.
I now like to think of them as "invisible birds." They are so common you look right through them.
These birds deserve a second glance. Like them or not, their ability to adapt to the habitats that humans create has allowed them to hitch rides with us as our settlements expand around the globe.
House sparrows now are the most widely distributed bird species on the planet.
The European starling, first introduced to this continent about 120 years ago, now ranges across North America and numbers more than 200 million.
Pigeons are now so associated with cities that when we see them in places such as Colorado National Monument, the birds may seem out of place, even though their natural nesting habitat is cliff faces rather than tall buildings.
Many bird lovers dislike these species for more legitimate reasons than simple commonness.
House sparrows and European starlings prefer to nest in cavities, such as tree holes or nest boxes. Cavities are a limited resource, and these two introduced species often displace struggling native birds.
Bluebird lovers may despise house sparrows in particular because birds will destroy nests and forcibly evict bluebirds from the nest boxes the birders install for them.
I don't believe pigeons directly compete with any native species, but many city dwellers, perhaps annoyed by their droppings, refer to them as flying rats.
Personally I would prefer a pigeon to a rat any day.
Were it not for abundant pigeon prey, peregrine falcons may not have made a comeback and established themselves in many large cities.
Even here in Grand Junction, I have seen peregrines perched on the tower on the corner of Eighth and Main streets.
European starlings may be a dime a dozen, but take a moment to listen to them. These relatives of mynah birds are accomplished mimics and can do convincing impressions of hawks and other birds.
The cheeky house sparrow is easy and fun to watch as it squabbles over nest sites and takes dust baths.
It is easy to disregard these "invisible birds" because they are common or to dislike them when they displace native birds. But don't blame them.
After all, we brought them here and created the conditions that have allowed them to thrive.
Take a moment to admire the boldness that allows these "invisible birds" to live amidst a large, noisy creature like humans.
Or admire their cleverness in exploiting new food resources like French fries and habitats like highway overpasses.
Have a little empathy for these immigrants whose fate has been so tied up with our own.

If your home was built within the past decade, odds are it was designed with an open plan. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, and few walls separate the living and dining areas.
But what if your home is a bit older? In the 1970s and '80s, "houses were built with a separate great room, separate small living room, separate small dining area" and a kitchen walled off from the rest, says Ellen Goode, professor of interior design at Meredith College, in Raleigh, N.C. Phrases like "formal dining room" and "breakfast nook" were selling points.
Today, many owners of those houses want the flexibility of an open plan, and are knocking down walls to get it.
Kitchens are frequently merged with other rooms to create a larger, more inviting family area.
"The kitchen is the hub of the household," says Paul J. Zuch, president of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. "Kids are doing homework . . . Mom wants to keep an eye on the kids when they're on the Internet." Busy families are trying to spend time together when they're home.
Another reason why walls in older homes are coming down is because beds, sofas and other furnishings are larger than they were a generation ago, says Dorcas Helfant, past president of the National Association of Realtors.
"We want big screens," she says, "and we need space to sit back far enough from the screen."
Knocking down a wall may seem pretty easy, and it can be. But doing the demolition and rebuilding, and figuring out how to decorate the new combined space, can be complicated, says Vern Yip, designer for HGTV's Urban Oasis.
Planning is vital, he says. And as potential DIY projects go, this one is best left to a professional.
Challenges and costs
Demolishing a wall doesn't have to be expensive or complicated, assuming nothing is hidden inside. But it's likely there is some mix of electrical wiring, heating ducts, plumbing, even sewer and gas lines, snaking through the wall's interior.
Those items will need to be rerouted. And new electrical outlets will need to be installed elsewhere, perhaps in the floor, to make up for any that are removed.
Another potential cost: Walls originally built before 1978 probably have a base layer of lead paint. Even if they've been repainted since then, the removal must be done in compliance with safety guidelines. A certified remodeler can test for lead, Zuch says, and remove it properly.
Most important, a load-bearing wall (which kitchen walls often are) will have to be replaced with architectural columns or some other type of support. So it's wise to have the wall assessed by an expert before doing any demolition.
In addition, there are costs that can't be measured in dollars and cents: With a flowing floor plan, noise is harder to contain. If a child is doing homework at the kitchen table and needs quiet, Goode points out, you can't close a door to keep out the sound of a television in the family room.
And corralling pets and toddlers in one place becomes more difficult when you can't simply close the kitchen door.
Despite the difficulties and costs, Zuch says, "consider the benefits of changing the floor plan." If an open plan means family members can spend more time together and really enjoy the space, he says, "it may be well worth the effort."
It also may add to your home's resale value. Says Helfant: "Space sells and flow sells."
Design implications
From a design perspective, knocking down a wall brings opportunity and a few hurdles.
"A home always seems much larger with fewer walls, even though you haven't expanded your exterior envelope," Yip says. "You open the possibility of more natural light pouring into parts that previously couldn't access natural light."
But once a wall is down, "you don't have Space A separated from Space B, so it all needs to work together," he says. A kitchen and family room may need to be redecorated if they're now connected.
Furniture can be used to delineate specific areas, but homeowners may not know how to accomplish that.
"I see this all the time: I don't know where to put my sofa, don't know where to put my TV, because you've removed all your interior walls," Yip says.
Goode says partial-height walls or standing screens can help avoid a barnlike feeling and make areas more distinct.
One strategy Yip likes: In advance, "Lay out your furniture as if you've already removed the wall, or sketch out a space-plan on a piece of paper so you actually know this is going to work for you.
"You want to make sure the rooms still function like you'll want them to function," he says.

Nonito Donaire is a four-division world Champion and his refreshing reign of terror is just getting started. After winning the WBO Super Bantamweight title in February by defeating Wilfredo Vazques Jr, Donaire is on a mission to unify the division's titles. On Saturday night Donaire faced the much taller Jeffrey Mathebula (26-4-2, 14KOs) to unify the WBO/IBF titles.
The opening bell sounded and Donaire immediately landed a swift right hand as Mathebula stood tall behind his jab. Donaire leapt around the ring while switching stances to confuse his opponent. Donaire landed a thudding right hand that hurt Mathebula as he tripped around the ring . The second round started with Mathebula working his jab. Donaire landed a nasty combination towards the end of the round that pushed Mathebula back. It was clear that Donaire wanted to end this fight quickly with one huge shot.
In the third Mathebula had his moments when he threw his combinations but the shots looked to have no effect on Donaire. At the end of the fourth round Mathebula threw a telegraphed right hand that was countered with a left hand bomb from Donaire. Mathebula crashed down to the canvas and proceeded to slowly get up as the ref counted. Luckily for him, the round was over as he recovered in his corner. In the fifth Donaire continued to lower his hands to invite his opponent to attack him so he could counter. Donaire worked the body mixed with hooks to the head. Donaire cracked Mathebula with a left at the end of the round that pushed Mathebula back once again.
Mathebula came to fight as proof of the sixth round as he landed hard rights behind his long jab. After some slow paced middle rounds the ninth and tenth rounds saw Donaire having trouble finding the target while Mathebula landed from distance. Donaire's left eye was also beginning to swell. Donaire went to the body but Mathebula was landing clean shots every time Donaire leapt forward, aiming at his opponent's head. In the eleventh Donaire finally started using his world class jab to setup his big shots. Mathebula stopped working as hard as he did in the previous rounds while Donaire landed a huge right that stunned Mathebula.
In the final round both men seemed to be content in not throwing much. Mathebula landed a few good straights while Donaire scored points with a few shots here and there. Donaire was awarded the unanimous decision with the scores of 117-110, 117-109 and 119-108. I had it 117-110 for Donaire.
At the end of the night Donaire was asked about his future in the 122 lbs weight class and he replied with "My goal is always to be an undisputed champion, you know with the three belts. If you have three out of the four, that's undisputed to me. That's a dream and a goal to me."
As Nonito Donaire continues to add to his impressive resume you have to ponder on how far this man can go in the world of boxing. He has the skills, personality and flash to be great. I crave for what's next.

Students Receive Advertising Scholarships
Melissa Antunes 01 and Jessica Cox 01 from the Roy H. Park School of Communications have received Advertising Women of New York Scholarship Awards. Given each year by the Advertising Women of New York Foundation, the scholarships are awarded to senior students who are majoring in advertising or who have expressed a strong career interest in advertising and are majoring in a related field.
Antunes and Cox are both majoring in television-radio with a concentration in advertising and public relations. Antunes spent a semester at the Park Schools communications program in Los Angeles in the fall of 1999. Cox attended the Colleges London Center during that same time.
"Both of these individuals are excellent recipients, and I know they will continue to excel in their courses of study," said Thomas Bohn, dean of the Park School. "This represents the eighth consecutive year that we have received a scholarship from the Advertising Women of New York Foundation, and I am delighted with that organizations continued confidence in our program and our students."
Advertising Women of New York was founded in 1912 as the first womens association in the communications industry. The organization now consists of more than 1,100 members representing the advertising, marketing, media, promotion, and public relations fields. The organization seeks to serve as a catalyst for the advancement of women in the communications field and to promote and support philanthropic endeavors through the Advertising Women of New York Foundation.

text: So this phone isn't mine. It is actually my mother's phone. I am attempting to help her and despite my presumed indepth knowledge of android devices, I am at a null. The problem is, the internal storage says 9.** MB of free space however I can't install any applications even if they are 1.** MB, further any updates will not go through because "phone storage" is low. She bought an 8gb external SD card today and supposedly the RadioShack people moved her applications for her however the phone is still low on space I checked it out myself, I noticed that certain applications won't seem to move. Her phone is not rooted, I don't want to risk her phone (no offense meant, I rooted my Infuse and run a kernel at 1.8GHz) When I want to move applications, the button "move to sd card" is grey-ed out. I don't understand why the phone will not install apps if it supposedly has 9.** MB of free space if the apps were to be installed on the phone. Further the SD card only went down about 1% in space suggesting that the apps hardly moved although 8GB is alot and my mom isn't much of a tech person so she hardly installs anything on her phone. Any suggestions? I think there is a problem with the phone. But I don't know, I'm not used to it (It sucks (sorry) ) Any help would be appreciated. Otherwise I'll let the RadioShack people deal with it and call myself "inadequate for the job"

Congratulations to both!
Professor William Austin Veech from Rice University passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, August 30, 2016, at age 77 in Houston, Texas.
Professor Veech was born on Christmas Eve in 1938 in Detroit, Michigan, and obtained his BA from Dartmouth College in 1960 and earned his Ph.D. in 1963 under the supervision of Salomon Bochner at Princeton University. He joined the faculty of Rice University in 1969. He served as department chair for three years between 1982 and 1986 and held an endowed chair since 1988, Milton Brockett Porter Chair, 1988-2003; Edgar Odell Lovett Chair, since 2003.
Professor Veech believed in the importance of developing one's own unique perspective: all of his more than 60 papers were single-authored, and with a characteristic blend of dynamics, geometry and deep analytic technique, they often transformed whole subjects. Much of his earlier work is related to topological dynamics. Two central subjects of his research are interval exchange transformations and geodesic flows on translation surfaces.
In 1982 Professor Veech had solved (coincidentally with H. Masur) the Keane's conjecture, which stated that typical minimal interval exchange maps are uniquely ergodic. In an earlier work, Veech constructed natural examples of minimal but not necessarily uniquely ergodic dynamical systems; in particular, he showed that certain delicate Diophantine conditions are intimately connected to ergodic properties of these systems.
Veech's zippered rectangle construction for interval exchange transformations and Rauzy-Veech induction, used in his argument, became a cornerstone of study in the case of translation surfaces and the Teichmuller geodesic flows.
Perhaps Veech's most influential contribution in mathematics (1989) concerned what is now called "Veech surfaces", whose dynamical properties induce subsets of the heavily-studied Riemann's moduli space of curves with astonishing properties. The study of such surfaces (and their generalizations) has become one of the most active topics in mathematics today.
One remarkable property of Veech surfaces is what is now called "Veech's dichotomy": every infinite (geodesic) orbit is either periodic or it is uniformly distributed in the surface. In particular, "Veech's dichotomy" applies for billiard dynamical systems in some plane polygons, including all regular polygons.
Most recently, Veech made contributions related to Sarnak's conjecture concerning Mobius orthogonality.
Professor Veech was an Inaugural Fellow of the American Mathematics Society. He worked at the Institute for Advanced Study during his numerous visits there during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. His publications spanned more than 50 years. He was an excellent and generous mentor and a great friend to his students, colleagues and anyone else who had the honor of meeting him. He will be fondly remembered by all people who knew him.

Rare Animal-Shaped Mounds Discovered in Peru by MU Anthropologist
Rare Animal-Shaped Mounds Discovered in Peru by MU Anthropologist
March 30, 2012
COLUMBIA, Mo. - For more than a century and a half, scientists and tourists have visited massive animal-shaped mounds, such as Serpent Mound in Ohio, created by the indigenous people of North America. But few animal effigy mounds had been found in South America until University of Missouri anthropology professor emeritus Robert Benfer identified numerous earthen animals rising above the coastal plains of Peru, a region already renowned for the Nazca lines, the ruined city of Chan Chan, and other cultural treasures.
"The mounds will draw tourists, one day," Benfer said. "Some of them are more than 4,000 years old. Compare that to the effigy mounds of North America, which date to between 400 and 1200 AD. The oldest Peruvian mounds were being built at the same time as the pyramids in Egypt."
Benfer identified the mounds, which range from five meters (16.5 feet) to 400 meters (1,312 feet) long in each of the six valleys he surveyed in coastal Peru. The mounds pre-date ceramics and were probably built using woven baskets to carry and pile up rock and soil.
Like the Nazca lines, which include a series of giant animal outlines drawn on the ground to the south, the animal mounds were best observed from a higher vantage point. Google Earth images of the mounds revealed the shapes of birds, including a giant condor, a 5,000 year-old orca, a duck, and a caiman/puma monster seen in bone and rock carvings from the area.

Category: Golden Girls names
By Brooke Cussans of Baby Name Pondering
You probably remember a show from the eighties called The Golden Girls, which was about four "previously married" women living together in Miami. While they often seemed mismatched, the success of the show lay in the strong bonds of friendship these women shared, and is said to have been the inspiration behind many other shows and movies, including 'Sex and the City' and 'Girls'.
Although the ladies had some great names (on and off screen), at the period when 'The Golden Girls' was airing, from 1985 to 1992, people were rather unlikely to want to name their sweet babies after characters in a show about mature women, or the actors who played them. They would have seemed a little fusty in a world of Jennifers and Ashleys; Jessicas and Amandas.
These days their names have much more of an appealing retro/vintage feel, and are again finding favour with today's parents.
Of course, we all hope our kids will be good as gold, follow the Golden Rule, find the Golden Mean in life, win lots of gold medals and gold stars, and all that other good golden stuff. So why not give them a leg up by bestowing on them one of these golden names?
The most obvious are those with the word front and center. Goldie is an old showgirl name legitimized by and long associated with Goldie Hawn, who was named after a great aunt. The fact that the name Goldie was recently chosen for her baby by Ione Sky sends out signals that it could make a return à la Sadie and Mabel. Golda is one step removed, not heard much since the demise of American-raised Israeli Premier Golda Meir, who was in fact born Goldie. Gilda is sleeker and slimmer, linked forever to the sexy image of Rita Hayworth in the eponymous film classic, then lightened by beloved original SNL cast member Gilda Radner.
When The Golden Girls hit the small screen in 1985, the names of its leading ladies—Rose, Dorothy and Blanche—were late middle aged, and Mama Sophia was old enough to have already been in and out of the Shady Pines Nursing Home. That was 25 years ago, a period of major change in the name world. Sophia is now the seventh most popular baby name (and #1 in some places), Rose is America's favorite middle name, and Dorothy is one of the belles of the nameberry name boards.
Not only that: other Golden Girl names, names that were virtually written off just a couple of years ago, are back in play. Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, for example, named one of their twin daughters Marion, Julia Roberts chose Hazel for hers and Molly Ringwald picked Adele. And nameberryites are cool with similar period names like Clara and Cora, Vivian and Vera.
Here are some other alternative names that might have been used for the Golden Girls ladies—are any of them ready to join Rose and Sophia?

And Cutthroats of several species…. Some of the nice ones
And some of the nicer ones Several of these were a real fight to get in. I was using a 3wt some of the time and a 4wt rod at other times, but with either rod my tippet was a 6x which is fairly light (3 lb test) since I had inadvertently run out of any heavier tippet. I did loose quite a few flies to both fish and flora. Of course anytime a fish breaks you off it is the hog that got away. Even if it was only 10 inches!
[img] "http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6077/6061067024_4a255bbbb8_z.jpg%5b/img"][/img]
This one I only got a picture of his back. What shoulders! He made a run for it and took my fly with him.
[img] "http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6192/6060515241_72a7785c76_z.jpg%5b/img"][/img]
A lot of different flies worked well and I went through a bunch of them. Earlier in the day smaller pale morning duns and adams worked well. Later on humpies, hoppers, ants, beetles, and caddis were on the menu, as well as attractors like royal wulffs and stimulators. Besides the flies that I lost to fish and trees there were a lot that just got chewed to death! Time to change this fly I think it was a yellow or green humpy. I am not really sure. It has given its all….
Much as I love the high country, I am glad to be home!
