This is a brief report to HIRA members and others on the Township of Frontenac Islands Council meeting which took place August 13, 2018 at the Howe Island Township Offices. One of our Directors attended the meeting. Only matters of particular reference to Howe Island or of general relevance are highlighted here.
- Severances- A number of severance applications was dealt with including one where the applicant wanted to use jointly with an adjoining property the same septic system. Application was declined.
- Ferry Ferry-As of now, all rehabilitation work has been completed except for some very minor work which will be completed shortly.
- Annual Ferry Passes for Trailers-A resident pointed out that annual ferry pass users and others with trailers are not generally paying the extra $6 for their trailers. He pointed out that only two annual trailer passes have been sold this year. He pointed out that there appears to be no repercussions for users refusing to pay if and when asked. Council said they would look into this issue.
- Trailer Hitches-Councilor Higgs drew Council's attention to the Provincial law which requires trailer hitches on the back of vehicles be removed when not towing. Removal of such hitches would give more room on both ferries. Council said they would look into this issue.

What's one date that sure to please a guy? How about a trip to a car museum?
Actually, visiting the LeMay Car Museum in Spanaway, WA was not only fun for Gerhardt and his bro, it was fun for my sister-in-law and myself as well.
We actually had a guide through part of this collection of hundreds of cars. Thank you Dennis for sharing your expertise. (Wish I hadn't accidentally deleted the video we shot from my iPad. Sigh.)
So what did I learn from our guide? Well, originally, like in Britain, early car steering wheels were on the right of the car. Why was this? Well, two reasons. Cars started out as the horseless buggy and drivers were used to sitting on the right to handle the reins. Also sidewalks were to the right of the car and nobody wanted to step out onto the dusty, often muddy street. Early headlights were lit like a candle. Some early cars had tillers rather than steering wheels. Oh, and tires were all originally white. But not very sturdy, so manufacturers came up with some sort of process to coat them and the coating material turned black on the top, leaving the white exposed underneath. Hence, whitewall tires.
The other thing I learned is... I really like old-fashioned sports cars. I so fell in love with a jazzy red roadster from the thirties, and my sis-in-law and I both figured we could do a great girl road trip in it. Alas, once cars come into the museum they never leave. In summer, however, they do host a car auction. Oooh, how tempting! But, alas, again, now that we've downsized to a condo and only have two parking spots (one of which belongs to Gerhardt's beloved truck) I doubt there will be a red convertible in my future.
Anyway, thank you LeMays for providing a lot of fun and a tasty bit of history for car buffs to enjoy.

'One complication exists for the conversion of the Municipal Building's first two floors. It could alter the building's character, Lisa Kersavage of the Municipal Art Society (MAS) told the Eagle. The MAS is working to create a "Borough Hall Skyscraper District" that would protect with city landmark status 28 buildings in the area, including the Municipal Building.' --Brooklyn Eagle
Uh-oh, hope this doesn't derail the process.

Bahía Blanca and Valdés Peninsula, Argentina – August 21st, 200940.8S 62.9W
Sediments line the eastern shores of the Argentina provinces of Buenos Aires, Río Negro and Chubut (from top to bottom).
These sediments appear most dense in Bahía Blanca (meaning White Bay, although it is actually an estuary), as can be seen in the close-up.
The other close-up focuses on the Valdes Peninsula (called Península Valdés in Spanish) in the north east of Chubut Province, Argentina.
With a surface area of about 3,625 km², most of the peninsula is barren land with some salt lakes. The largest of these lakes is at an elevation of about 40 m below sea level.
The peninsula is an important nature reserve which was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999. The coastline is inhabited by marine mammals, like sea lions, elephant seals and fur seals. Southern right whales can be found in Golfo Nuevo (below) and Golfo San José (above), protected bodies of water located between the peninsula and the Patagonian mainland.
These baleen whales come here between May and December, for mating and giving birth, because the water in the gulf is quieter and warmer than in the open sea. Orcas can be found off the coast, in the open sea off the peninsula. In this area, they are known to beach themselves on shore to capture sea lions and elephant seals.
The inner part of the peninsula is inhabited by rheas, guanacos and maras. A high diversity and range of birds live in the peninsula as well; at least 181 bird species, 66 of which are migratory, live in the area, including the Antarctic Pigeon.

12 Essential Resources for Becoming a Stronger Blogger
Blogging is a lot of work. And, if you want to be a stronger blogger, it is going to take consistency, time, and effort. After all, your goal is to craft compelling content your site visitors want to come back for time and again.
Today I am going to share with you a host of free blogging resources that you can utilize to streamline every part of the blogging process. Find brandable domain names, create catchy titles, improve your SEO results, share visually stunning images, and more with these beneficial blogging resources.
So, let's get started.
Tools All Bloggers Should Have in Their Arsenal
1. FlameDomain
Looking for the perfect domain name can be tough if you are new to the blogging business. That's why tools such as FlameDomain offer easy-to-use tools to help generate popular, valuable, and brandable domain names. The great thing about this tool is that not only can you use it to determine your own blog's domain, you can also start a side hustle and sell profitable domain names to supplement your income.
2. WordPress
Seems obvious right? Well, it turns out that not all people use the popular WordPress blogging platform. That said, WordPress does take the number one spot when it comes to content management systems. And for good reason. Here are a handful of reasons why you should use WordPress for your blogging platform:
- It's a free software – free to download, install, use, and modify
- 48,000+ plugins and thousands of free themes aiding in design and functionality
- Easy and affordable to use
- SEO friendly due to high compliance code
- Security is a priority
- Utilize multiple media types
- Receive continual updates
- Enjoy a tight knit community
3. HubSpot's Blog Topic Generator
Even the best of the internet's bloggers get stuck in a rut sometimes and have no idea what to write about. Thankfully, HubSpot provides bloggers a free online topic generator that is simple to use and provides quick and useable topics within seconds. Simply enter three nouns related to what you think you want to write about and receive approximately one week's worth of relevant blog titles.
4. Sucuri
If you are looking for a quick scan of your blog to make sure it is secure and free from malware, blacklisting, website errors, and out-of-date software, try using Sucuri's free Website Malware and Security Scanner. Although they do not claim to be 100% accurate, this is an efficient tool for understanding where your security measures may need boosting.
5. Headliner Analyzer
Brought to you by the amazing CoSchedule team, this free headliner analyzer will score your overall headline quality. It will clue you into your title's effectiveness to be shared across social media networks, its ability to increase your blog's traffic, and even includes an SEO value, all of which is very helpful when constructing the perfect blog post title.
6. Hemingway Editor
Readability is essential when it comes to sharing quality content with your readers. Many visitors want to easily scan your posts, or at the very least read them quickly and understand them fully. The Hemingway Editor is a great proofreading tool meant to reveal your fragmented sentences, your use of passive voice, and even show you complicated words that hurt your readability score.
7. PhotoPin
There are many places to get free high-resolution stock images for your blog. However, this lesser-known option is a bit unique. Using the Flickr API to find Creative Commons images, simply enter search terms and see your results. From there, choose from nine different sizes and easily place the provided HTML in the caption box of the image for proper attribution on your blog, which all of these images require.
8. GTmetrix
Speed and performance is the name of the game when it comes to your blog. In fact, website performance is the key to a great user experience and a lower overall bounce rate. Using GTmetrix to test the speed and performance of your website will quickly provide you details on how your website stacks up. In addition, you will receive plenty of suggestions for improving your test score with techie information for those that are interested.
9. Google Analytics
Analyzing your blog on a regular basis is important for boosting traffic, growing your email list, and crafting compelling content that will provide value to your readers. Using Google's free metric analysis tool, Google Analytics, will provide you enough information to get a deeper understanding of your site visitors. Here are some of the things you will be able to collect and evaluate so you can become a stronger blogger:
- Number of daily visits to your site
- Geographic location of visitors
- Ad performance
- How traffic arrives at your site
- Bounce rate
- Conversion metrics
- Campaign successes
- Social media traffic
- Content popularity
- Time spent per page
- Site speed and performance metrics
- And so much more
10. Trello
As with most blogging resources, there are plenty of choices available when it comes to content management tools. For instance, Evernote, DropBox, CoSchedule, and Google Docs are just some of the most widely used tools. However, one of the simplest and easily understood is Trello.
Trello allows bloggers to collaborate with others to get more done in the most efficient way possible. In the end, you can use Trello's boards, lists, cards, and intuitive color-coding system to set up all of your blog's goals from brainstorming content to completion.
11. TinyPNG
TinyPNG is a great online tool that is free to use and works wonders when it comes to optimizing your blog's images. And the best thing is, you can use this in tandem with most WordPress image optimizing plugins (such as WP Smush Image Optimizer) to get the ultimate in compression, clarity, and visual appeal.
Simply drop your images into the onscreen box and let TinyPNG do the work for you. Once optimized, download the final image, save it to your computer, and later upload it directly into your blog's Media Library. Using lossy compression techniques on both PNG and JPEG files, TinyPNG reduces your image's file size significantly with very little image degradation.
12. MailChimp
The appeal behind MailChimp as an email service provider is that it is initially free up to your first 2,000 subscribers. This means you can begin building a large blog following, and even expand into a business, without having to pay a monthly fee to use their services. And speaking of services, here is some of what is included when you decide to use MailChimp for your email marketing provider:
- Drag & drop designer to match your blog's style
- Pre-made templates for inspiration
- Marketing automation with segmentation capability
- Exceptional reporting features for monitoring success
- Integration with popular apps and services including several eCommerce platforms
Final Thoughts
Becoming a stronger blogger is something that all website owners should strive for. And, taking advantage of the many free blogging resources available only makes sense for getting ahead of the competition.
It is important that all bloggers gather their favorite blogging resources and save them for later use. In the end, a strong arsenal of blogging tools will ultimately make you a stronger blogger.
Have you ever used any of the above-mentioned blogging resources to improve your blog? Have you used something not on the list that is worth mentioning? I would love to hear all about it in the comments below!

Proofreading course students don't tend to think about doing work experience.
That's probably because they have full-time jobs … though so do our NCTJ journalism course students, and they seem to manage it!
student asked me how to structure her CV for work experience. She was
surprised when I said: 'No differently than for a job application.'
me, applying for work experience is no different from applying for a
job. The CV has the same aim: to make sure the boss notices you.
A relevant, glittering CV will help your career prospects, as many employers use work experience to scout for talent.

School Delays & Closings
When the cold weather season is upon us, we know you will be wondering how the school district determines if school is delayed or canceled.
How You'll Be Notified
We will post the closing on our District website, on our District Facebook page, and via Twitter. (You do not need to be on Facebook or Twitter to see these posts. However, if you are on these social media sites, please like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter.)
We will use our electronic messaging system to call, email, and text families about the change in the school schedule.
Our goal is to reach as many families as possible as soon as possible. We call all phones listed for parents and guardians of our students to ensure we reach someone in each household. While it may seem redundant to call your home, cell and work numbers, we must make sure parents who work varying shifts receive this important information. We also cannot just send it via email or text as we may not reach all families. Thank you for understanding!
Our Guidelines:
We watch the weather very closely in the winter months. On nights when weather is forecasted to cause any issues that might impact the safety of our students arriving at school, we are actively assessing the situation by 4:45 a.m. and want to make a decision before 6:00 a.m. If we are able to determine school closings the night before, we will let you know about it when the decision is made.
Wind Chill Warning
For cold weather, the main indicator is wind chill factor. If the wind chill factor generates a Wind Chill Warning (-35 sustained wind chill), we will close for the day or may consider a delayed start if the warning will be lifted in the mid-morning hours. We will typically hold school when there is a Wind Chill Advisory.
Snow or Ice Events
Delaying or closing school is a decision that is not made lightly. There are many implications so we work to ensure that we are making the best decision possible based on the information we have. Start of school may be delayed or schools may be closed if conditions are considered to be dangerous. How we make the decision:
- We review the predicted weather patterns through various weather websites and news outlets.
- We contract with a local TV meteorologist for personal consultations regarding the forecast and are in contact with him, when needed.
- We look closely at the timing of the snow/ice, how much is predicted, and how it will impact getting students to/from school,
- We work closely with Kobussen Bus company when making this decision. Our staff or Kobussen staff will go out and drive the roads to determine if they are safe and passable.
- We are in conversation with other superintendents in neighboring school districts to compare reports.
Other Important Information:
- On days when we have a delayed start time as a result of weather, there will be no morning 4K classes and breakfast will not be served.
- If there is a 2-hour delay, busses will run exactly 2 hours later than their normal times.
If there is ever a time that we hold school and you do not feel it is in the best interest of your child to attend based on your assessment of the weather, please let us know and we will excuse those absences.

Get creative with mid-century-inspired geometric artwork on your nails. Use shades of your favourite colours to complement your next outfit.
Crisp white
Nothing says "holiday resort" like a touch of nautical white. Pay close attention to your nail shape and polish application to avoid looking like you've used whiteout on your nails.
Duplication is dead. Coordinate your nail polish with mix-and-match designs that are different on each finger but complement each other. It's like a work of art on your hands!
Barely there
Strip it back to minimal nails with a hint of colour to brighten up your look. Perfect for a summer holiday, or to add a touch of colour to a dainty outfit.
Shine line
Deck out your nail art with metallic strips to gleam and shine. Use them as a standalone feature, or work them in to your geometric nail art. We love gold and rose gold!
Short nails
Bless the beauty gods – short nails are on nearly every runway this summer! Enjoy risk-free, practical nails this summer while lengthy nails sit out of the limelight.

This will be my second week in a row posting so for that I am very proud. This will be a stream of consciousness post because life has left me currently uninspired. I have no inspiration. Sadly, I am an artist in a rut. I feel dull, lifeless, and just dead inside. This is awful because life is going relatively well. I just feel myself slipping into this uninspired, noncreative state of being where I am just existing. I'm not quite sure how to get out of it.
My dad had this problem before. My dad is a visual artist. He does tattoos, draws, paints, things of that nature. The problem was that his slump was causing him to drink all day and hid in his room. Getting out of his feelings seemed like an impossibility. A family to another state seemed to cure him. He is back to his "normal" artistic self. (What's normal anyway?)
I can't pinpoint what my issue is. It might that I'm getting married soon. It might be that I'm too complacent in life right now. Like, okay I get married. Then I'm a wife and someone's mother. I fear that my identity will end there. I'm working towards getting a job then I'll just be someones' wife and mother who works a mundane job. I don't think I'm ready for that solidarity. That's not to say life has to be like that. But I crave adventure and I think I need a new challenge. Not to motherhood and wifehood aren't challenging enough. Life comes with all sorts of challenges. But those challenges involve other people. I need to challenge me and need to figure out who I am and what I want for myself. I love being Oscar's mother and the future Mrs. Briggs but…I fear it won't be enough to keep inspired or to keep me thriving. Now, I kind of feel ungrateful or selfish. That's not a fair or accurate depiction of my situation. I just, don't want to lose myself and I feel like I'm slowly slipping away.
The Solution
I'm actually kind of at a loss here. What do I do? If I knew I wouldn't be in the position now would I? The easy answer is to continue the way I am with life but I feel like that would kill me. No one should live like that. Any tips, comments, concerns? Maybe I should ask my therapist. Well, she doesn't have all the answers. I could take a trip, a family trip. Or maybe just a long one by myself to a cabin somewhere. I don't know, I don't have all the answers. Maybe, oh maybe.
Until next we meet
Bleed and Exist,
S. Hollisway

- Full-size keyboard
- 1/3 inch thick
- Solar-powered replaceable battery
- Logitech PerfectStroke key system and InCurve concave key cap design
- 2.4 GHz wireless connection
- Unifying Receiver allows connection of up to six Logitech wireless devices.
- On/Off switch
- Programmable Function keys
Wireless keyboards eliminate cables, but they occupy a USB port and require batteries. If trading a cable for a battery doesn't seem like a very good deal, Logitech has the solution: The K750 solar-powered keyboard. Despite the name, the sun itself isn't required to charge the keyboard. Any room lighting will charge it, and keep it charged for months. Assuming the keyboard is used in a lighted room daily, it should never run out of power. If you use other Logitech wireless devices, they can share the wireless receiver with the keyboard so multiple devices can be run from one USB port.
The K750 is a thin, full-size keyboard that uses Logitech's PerfectStroke Key System, which distributes the force evenly across the keys when you type, making the keyboard comfortable to use and quiet. The Function keys have additional functions that can be activated by holding down the FN key (between Alt and Ctrl) while pressing the individual F-keys. There are keys for launching email, web browser and search, as well as media and volume controls (including mute.) With free downloadable software from Logitech you can change the functions of the F-keys to your liking.
The solar panels are located on the top of the keyboard, making it easy for room light to charge it continuously. There is an on/off switch to save power. Included software lets you check the battery power. A simple indicator on the keyboard itself shows you how much light power is being drawn.
The K750 does not have an integrated palm rest, which could be a problem for people who type for long periods of time. The PerfectStroke system and concave keys make for a quiet and comfortable typing experience. Logitech was aiming for the comfort of laptop typing with the efficiency of a full-size keyboard, and according to most customer reviews, they've achieved this. The downside is aesthetic: The glossy black keyboard is stylish, but it attracts fingerprints and dust easily.
Overall, the K750 does what Logitech says it does: Stays charged on light power and delivers a comfortable and quiet typing experience. Though it lacks a full ergonomic design and is too glossy to stay attractive for very long, the design and power make it well worth the cost.

Recently several vintage reproduction brands have moved into a new decade and started recreating the fabulous fashions from the 1960's. Although you may instantly think go-go boots and psychedelic flower prints, you couldn't be more wrong. Women's fashion from the early 1960's slowly evolved into shorter hemlines and classic curve hugging silhouettes. When Heartbreaker Fashion released the Marleen in their Haute Collection, I knew it was perfect for the office and without hesitation scooped one up from JBR Clothing.
Available in sizes XS to 2X in Black, Red & Blue ~ MSRP $116USD (Sale @ $69)
Often times I mention when a brand is known to be consistent in sizing as this definitely helps us to find the right fit. In my experience, Heartbreaker is one to stay true to their size charts for the most part. Originally when I purchased the Marleen my measurements were 36-29-42 and I ordered a size Medium. Since the dress is made from a high quality double knit, there is a generous amount a stretch and forms beautifully to your curves. The fabric is so very soft and hugs you in all the right places but thick enough to conceal the trouble areas. Now that I am a bit smaller (36-28-40), I could easily fit in a size Small but much prefer it being a bit loose in order to avoid wearing any shapewear. The Marleen features a round Peter Pan collar in contrasting white knit with a matching belt to cinch the waist. The 1960's straight pencil skirt bottom falls just above the knee but still modest for those like me who don't like to show off too much leg. The wide round neckline poses a small issue with slipping off my petite shoulders but not unmanageably so.
For the first time last week, I wore the Marleen to work now that the cooler fall temperatures are here. The double knit fabric is quite warm and would pair well with fun colored tights. The Marleen is so comfortable and doesn't lose it's shape after hours of sitting behind the desk. With 1960's fashion featuring shorter hemlines, it took some time to get comfortable with the skirt falling above the knees. All my other dresses show much less leg and I have become rather accustomed to that as part of my comfort zone. As I mentioned earlier, there was no need to wear shapewear even with the form fitting silhouette. Even a simple pair of tights would nip you in wonderfully and give you a break from the hardcore undergarments. Lately I have been trying to stay away from wiggle dresses simply because I don't want to be required to wear shapewear 24/7 to feel confident in my clothes.
The simple clean lines of the design pairs beautifully with many accessories, the choices are a plenty. I love to wear the Marleen with my black patent leather round toe pumps and my favorite black & white cameo necklace. If your like me, tie you're hair back in a high ponytail and you're ready to go! 1960's fashion is about simplicity and women on the move. A word of caution, the knit fabric must be hand washed in cold water and lie flat to dry in order to keep its shape. Beware – keep it away from the dryer unless you want it to shrink dramatically.
It's quite exciting to see the recent trend of 1960's fashions hitting the scene as I am very keen on the new styles being redesigned for the modern day pin up. The Marleen is fabulous for everyday and a great staple to add to your wardrobe as a grab and go type of outfit.

But isn't fixing your Anime Prediction page abusing your power?--CoolPikachu! 22:14, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
- It's not like I'm doing it every hour. Just once a day at most. And I put it on minor edits. --☆ケンジガール 22:16, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

If I want my page being more readable without these useless lines, where's the problem ? --Froggy25 21:31, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
- It just is. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them. Messages here are not like messages on your myspace or facebook. You can't delete them because everything is public. --☆ケンジガール 21:32, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

2 questions really.
Can you tell me what the name of the template is where you tell a user to please sign talk page comments and the template where you tell them not to remove talk page comments, (the one that mentions Big Johno is an edit war with a sysop).
and is any user allowed to give these out or is it just admins. Thankyou for your time. Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010 19:29, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know of the template personally. Better ask Moldy orange or someting. --☆ケンジガール 19:31, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
I don't know of any automated message template for comment signing. As for the automated message template for removing talk page comments, it's at User:Shiningpikablu252/TPCD. --Shiningpikablu252 02:52, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
I was on vacation for a week, and I come home and get online and see you delete a page! I check the admin list, and sure enough, you're on it. Congratulations on your promotion. I think you'll make a great admin! --ニョロトノ666 23:37, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

What is ur opinion on...
What is ur opinion on HandymanShipping? I know ur a big Tracey fan, and it is included in a couple of stories of mine (currently confirmed only in sequel), anhd I'm sorta recruiting readers, so lemme know!--KukiTalk 02:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
- I don't like it. IMO, it was a couple created by PokéShippers to keep Misty from Tracey. But that's just my opinion. Sorry, you'll have to find someone else. --☆ケンジガール 02:39, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
They aren't the main couple of the first one, u know! They'll only b mentioned twice in YHABTO, but they marry and conceive in sequel. The main couple in YHABTO is Ash/Misty, and then the focus shifts to Elder and Brunette (the Brunette was sum1 else's idea, his Pearl versionh had it, so I naturally followed up. I was always a PokéShipper, even b4 Handyman existed.--KukiTalk 02:44, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not saying you're one of them. I'm saying that that's how I feel HandymanShipping was created. I am an OrangeShipper. I use to be in to PokéShipping until the fans killed it with there harrasing of anyone who didn't like it. I didn't want to be part of that anymore. Anyway, this isn't Bulbapedia conversation so we should just end it here. Good luck on your story. --☆ケンジガール 02:47, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
OK Thank u. But, I'm not trying to attak u, but Poké is the only one that I felt had any chance of being canon--KukiTalk 02:51, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Well, how can I say it. OK Kenji, Pistav is censorship for pissed off. THERE! I SAID IT!! I SAID IT, OK?--KukiTalk 03:21, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
- Those words do not belong in an ecyclopedia. They are VERY unprofessional and inappropriate. Talk pages are fine but do not put them in main articles. --☆ケンジガール 03:22, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Well, anyway, all of the pics I found come from here [1]. So if u wanna pick out with me (for characters who need it), you'd b helping not just me, but all of Bulbapedia!--KukiTalk 03:25, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
- You would technically only be helping the anime section of Bulbapedia. I don't see any benefit in the manga section with these CoD pictures. ;) MoldyOrange 03:29, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
I mean helping users acomplish things as well--KukiTalk 03:34, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

- Yes, DCM, almost everyone likes Mudkips...does that make you happy?
Many people are making many little edits on their user page. When the new users are welcomed, do you think there should be something about not editing their user pages as much?--Tavisource 22:13, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- I guess it should. I don't know why it isn't there in the first place. --☆ケンジガール 22:15, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Can you delete "Talk:I Choose You!"?--☆CoolPikachu! 08:34, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Who posted a message on my userpage and what did they say? (I didn't look until you'd deleted it and now I can't see what it was from the recent changes.) --Shiny Noctowl 01:44, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
- Don't worry. It was just the
{{subst:Welcome}}message. Diamaster probably thought you were a new user because your name is in red. Don't know why he confused Userpage with User talk though. --☆ケンジガール 01:48, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to do this to you
but I have to go...and my internet at my house is down at my house so I might not be on in a while. Word of advice: Search for key words in the User/User talk space. You have to search for both singular and plural. I already did all of "mission" but there are still a ton for "missions". Good night and sorry! MoldyOrange 06:07, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

- But PLEASE, no more editing right now. You've done too much already. --☆ケンジガール 16:40, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
I said Game Freak, not "Game Shark". Come on.
And explain to me how an adult member of the Elite 4 has access to less Pokemon than the player... or Shinji, for that matter.
Besides, Flint wouldn't need a Game Shark anyway. You can get a Magmortar from Pokemon Battle Revolution. :p - Cassius335 22:33, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- Look. It has nothing to do with Flint's status. It has to do with the makers of the game not wanting to introduce Pokémon that are outside the Sinnoh Dex before you beat the Pokémon League. Why doesn't Aaron have Yanmega? Why doesn't Bertha have Rhyperior? Why doesn't Lucian have Gallade?. Because they are not in the Sinnoh Dex. It has always been that way. This is the first time, however, that they introduced new Pokémon and didn't put them in the regions dex. Why they did it we don't know but they did. And Flint's not the only one with only 5 Pokémon. --☆ケンジガール 22:40, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- Exactly: "Why they did it we don't know". And frankly, there was no reason they couldn't have made an exception in Flint's case, in order for his team to make sense. - Cassius335 22:53, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- We know why Flint only has Infernape and Rapidash. Because those are the only Fire-types in the Sinnoh Dex. There is no mystery. We just don't know why there are so little Fire-types in the Sinnoh Dex. They're not going to make a special exception for Flint and introduce a Pokémon that the player can't even obtain at the time. --☆ケンジガール 23:10, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Do u see what I mean?
Every time I ask for help u ppl don't answer, but when u wanna criticize me u r there. Why is that? And plz answer me!--Ahatake 03:37, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
- What is it exactly that you need help on? ~$aturn¥oshi THE VOICES 16:15, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
- Is it that Userbox thing? It appears that some people need more hand holding. ~$aturn¥oshi THE VOICES 18:39, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
- I know... I went ahead and put the userboxes in a table myself. Hopefully this will stop the crying. ~$aturn¥oshi THE VOICES 18:45, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Riding the Winds of Change
Judging from the list you gave me, I assume you got it from the premier. I only watched the re-airing of the episode the following weekend, and the credits listed Emily Williams where Thompson's spot seemed to be. Officer Jenny was in the episode, so Williams not being listed in the first version was OBVIOUSLY a mistake, and seemed to be corrected in the following re-airing. Shift 19:17, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Userbox Query
Hi there...I need some help with the coding for my page and was wondering if you could just take a second to help me out. I can't get my userbox to appear to the side of the rest of my page's content, instead the content appears either before or after the box (somewhat difficult to explain, but you can see what I mean on my userpage itself). I have a feeling there's something incredibly obvious that I need to do to make it format correctly, but I haven't a clue what it might be. Perhaps you know? Lucentas 19:20, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
- Did you put a
</div>at the end of your userbox list? ~$aturn¥oshi THE VOICES 19:25, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

The picture with Tracey
It actually doesn't look half bad. Now if only I weren't so lazy as to not edit Red into Ash. TTEchidna 06:01, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

R all....

I know you're busy with screenshots, but I've about had it with this kid. We've given him his allotment of warnings, and he's still editing his userpages quite a bit--much more than I think he should, especially when you look at what he's done for the main namespace. You're the admin, of course, so I'll leave the final verdict up to you. I'm just saying. --Martonimos((Argh|Blargh)) 05:26, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well I'll give him one more chance. I'll give him another warning and if he edits again, I'll block him or protect his userpage. --☆ケンジガール 05:27, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- I already blocked him once for vandalizing one of the episode articles, it was only for a day last Wednesday though. MoldyOrange 05:29, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
I JUST noticed this. U ppl aren't right. Talking about others behind their back. Just thought u should know--Darknesslover5000 00:53, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Get over it. We're talking about the good of Bulbapedia. You should be thankful I gave you all those chances. --ケンジのガール 02:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Source for his apparantly not knowing that Arceus existing:
Ok, Here's the Quote from WPM where he says that apparantly Hidaka never even knew that Arceus existed:
"How would you be able to know? You weren't there. He genuinely did not seem to know what Platinum was or who Arceus is. Remember, he is just a storyboard artist, and his involvement in the show has been waning for a while now since he is starting his own anime."
For a link to the post in question: http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showpost.php?p=587165&postcount=163. And he was responding to Duckgon Z's comment as to his possibly kidding us. Now can you please leave my edit alone? Weedle Mchairybug 02:08, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- He "thought" that he didn't because of the way he acted. There is NO PROOF that he actually didn't know. I can't believe that someone who works that closely with Pokémon doesn't know about it when people around the world know. He's probably just not allowed to talk about it. Frankly I'm sick of this Hidaka crap already. And no, I won't leave it alone. --☆ケンジガール 02:10, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- You know, If he truly wasn't allowed to answer that question, why couldn't he just say something like "I'm sorry, that answer is confidential.", instead of making it seem as though he had absolutely no idea that either of them were in existance.
- And i don't think that he "Thought" that he didn't know. WPM sounded way too certain to think that he didn't know. Besides, we don't really have proof that he was tugging our legs about his utter cluenessness about the issue as well.
- And to answer your surprise, sometimes, the world knows much better about an issue than the person who is a headmaster. I mean, take the recent "Iron Man" movie, for example. Virtually the entire world knew (or at least suspected) that Stark enterprises was selling weapons (even the Jericho Missle System) to the Terrorists, even causing a reporter to question Tony Stark, the CEO, about the issue in an angered manner. Tony Stark, however, never authorized the selling of the equipment, and not only that, but he was utterly Dumbfounded when he discovered that someone within his own company was actually selling them. he then discovered that his second in command, Mr. Stein, was the one who sold the weapons to the terrorists shortly thereafter.
- Fine, then, I won't post the thing in the Anime section, But I'm still going to post it in the article. In the Morning, of course. Weedle Mchairybug 02:24, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- To say Hidaka could not have known of Arceus is ridiculous. Work on anime begins 6 months prior to its release, and movies take a year. Right now, he is almost certainly aware of the anime's plans for Movie 12, which will likely include Arceus (although he is the former director) For example, he knew about Munchlax, Mime Jr., Bonsly, and the rest long before we did. I apologize for adding the comment to the anime section in the first place and causing this controversy, I had presumed that it would be accepted that he was holding out. I'd take a guess that you're one of the ones behind the Misty uproar right now. Just let it go man. Aura-Knight 02:43, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- If he said "LOL CONFIDENTIAL" he'd pretty much be saying "Yeah, that's the secret Pokémon in Movie 12." TTEchidna 05:57, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, some government officials mention whatever projects they are working on tell people "I can't answer that, it's classified information", then they leave. and, hey, was the fact that Tony Stark, the CEO of Stark enterprises, was utterly surprised that someone within the company was selling weapons to the terrorists when it was common knowledge that the company was doing this? Heck, for a better example, in the movie "Independence Day", the President (and most of his cabinet, even the Pentagon leader) didn't even know that Area 51 existed, and most of the lower military officers (or, at least, some of the surviving lower military officers) knew perfectly well that it did exist (For example, Cpt. Steve Hiller asked the leader of the RV caravan in the Imperial Valley desert for a lift to Area 51.) Weedle Mchairybug 10:59, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Unwanted trivia?!
Excuse me, Why did you revert my edits on Misty, May, and Dawn's Trivia sections?
I mean, I did all of those edits because YOU said that I have to place them in ALL of the articles if the one in Misty's Article is to be applied. So I did just that. If anything, YOU'RE the one who should be ashamed of him/herself, since you're the one who brought this upon yourself. Besides, if it's not needed in the article, should the part involving Tracey and Brock be eliminated as well? it's in effect the same thing! Besides, I kept it AS Neutral as possible, and didn't even MENTION Misty in May and Dawn's articles at ALL because she doesn't apply in there. Maybe the VA trivia can go, but not this. Weedle Mchairybug 11:36, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- Okay first of all don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say go and put it in May and Dawn's pages. I just said that it doesn't just apply to Misty. And the Tracey and Brock thing (as much as I'd love to see it go) is totally not the same thing. As you said yourself, its fact and it happened. The controversy is mentioned in Hidaka's article and that's the only place it should be. --☆ケンジガール 11:39, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- All right, I'm sorry I even brought it up. But, just for the record, You said it belongs more to the Main female characters than to just Misty, so I interpreted that as being the same thing as "Add it in to ALL of the character pages". Weedle Mchairybug 11:49, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Do u...
Do u play pokémon ranger? I mean the original. If so, where can I find Venusaur. I need specifics. Plz don't say Lyra Forest, I've been there I need specifics--Darknesslover5000 19:18, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
May's Template
Shouldnt Skitty b on hand?--KukiTalk 00:05, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
- Everyone thought it best for it to say "At Petalburg Gym", since a trainer is only allowed to have 6 Pokémon with them. If we said "On hand" then she'd have seven Pokémon. I think most likely she sent Blaziken somewhere during the Wallace Cup but we can't confirm where it is or if she took it back already. We should just leave it. --☆ケンジガール 00:07, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
I have a question
Do characters of the day get the character template? If not, you might want to check out Dr. Kenzo.MoldyOrange 01:23, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- Usually no but there is no rule against it. Besides, Kenzo isn't a COD. He was in two episodes. --ケンジのガール 01:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- I really want to find a way to contribute so is it alright if I add character templates to the COD's. Ive been here almost a day and have yet to make an edit to the mainspace, so I wanna find some stuff to contribute. // C-R E-S T-☆ 11:51, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
why you revert those article?
I had to do a lot of research on that trivia. I admit the Seaking, staryu and Starmie ones were not that great but its still cool trivia. At least for Electrode, Exeggcute and Exeggutor. Yami 07:49, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- Not really. All you were saying was how many Pokémon in GenI have the same first letters in there names twice in a row. It's really not that notable. And I did leave the Exeggutor one alone and deleted the unneeded part. --ケンジのガール 07:56, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

One small departure from this southern tradition of fried chicken and potato salad was wild-caught Kenai River Sockeye. We chowed down on salmon stew and fried patties like we had never had fish before. It has been right at a month since we left Alaska. But don't worry it is only a few thoughts away from our conversation, our memories and our plates. Related

Stage Struck Review
Reviewing Theatre For Over 40 Years
Tag Archives: Maripat Donovan
Still Fun to Listen to Sister: "Late Night Catechism 3" at Sierra Madre
Note: As this review is uploaded there are only two more performances available at this site.
Anyone who has ever been to one of the Late Night Catechism franchise of productions is in for a treat. Started by Maryipat Donovan, who still occasionally appears in one of its various manifestations, the shows are ostensibly one in a series of night catechism classes for adults led by a practical, habited nun. She invariably draws upon audience members' memories of Catholic upbringings, welcomes those not of that faith into the fold with humor and a few oddities (see what happens if an audience member claims to be a Presbyterian), and gently ribs the rudiments of the religion being represented.
The prizes are prayer cards, the assumptions are intentionally silly, and the result proves very funny for Catholics, non-Catholics, even non-religious folk alike.
Now, at Sierra Madre Playhouse, one of the tribe of "Sisters", Aubrey Manning, delivers Late Night Catechism's session on marriage and death, "Till Death Do Us Part". The audience interplay is as charmingly sincere as always. The prayer cards, which always come with intricate, and sometimes silly explanations, delight. The audience, having been instantly put at ease, chimes in when bid, like any good class would. It is a gentle but unmistakable hit.
As someone who has, up until now, only seen Donovan herself appear as Sister, it was delightful to see the somewhat different but equally effective, and intentionally "off the cuff" work of Manning. That balance of command and conviction, of sincerity and the occasional wink, and the ability to make an entire room of reasoning adults behave as if back in school proves right on target, and makes the humor flow from start to finish.
The story, such as it is, revolves around explaining the Catholic beliefs regarding the sacraments of marriage and what is most commonly known as "extreme unction," or the rights given to the dying. Tying the two together is funnier than one would think, and the focus on the former – including a quiz which brings long-term couples down front to compete in what can only be called the opposite of the Newlywed Game – proves particularly effective.
Indeed, more than most theatrical offerings, the Late Night Catechism is deeply audience-based. There are warm fuzzies to be had, revelations to be made, lessons to be learned, and a good deal of innocent laughter. Is it deep? It depends on how you look at it. Unlike shows such as "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You," which finds its dark comedy in bitter condemnations of Catholic doctrine, or "Doubt," which deals quite seriously with the internal struggles between obedience and potential depravity in the institutional halls of the faith, "Late Night Catechism" celebrates the humor to be found in the earnest teachings of the roots of the thing. All serious institutions should occasionally hold such a mirror up to themselves, even if just for the fun of it.
So, if you need a warm laugh, go take a look at SMP's offering. Manning is an old hand at this, the fun is nonthreatening, and the charm will lighten a tough era in all our lives.
What: "Till Death Do Us Part – Late Night Catechism 3" When: Through October 1, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2:30 p.m. Sunday Where: Sierra Madre Playhouse, 87 W. Sierra Madre Blvd. in Sierra Madre How Much: $32 general, $28 seniors, $23 youth 21 and under Info: (626) 355-4318 or sierramadreplayhouse.org
Late Night Catechism Las Vegas: More of same, but still fun
In the six years since Maripat Donovan began her stint as Sister in "Late Night Catechism" people have been charmed by the humorous, though not bitingly satiric, homage to traditional Catholic doctrine this supposed teaching nun delivers. After the long initial runs of the original work, Donovan and her writing partner/director Marc Silvia have taken Sister's evening catechism lectures in many different directions.
The newest of these, "Late Night Catechism Las Vegas: Sister Rolls the Dice," involves Sister's plans to fund-raise using a Vegas Night. First she wants to try out her newly minted magic and card trick skills on her evening class. Now at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts, thanks to the McCoy-Rigby Series, the new show has many of the qualities which have made LNC such a franchise: wry wit, sincerity and an atmosphere reminiscent of a particular kind of gleeful amateurism (though, of course, Donovan is no amateur).
All the most popular bits are there: the casual inclusion of elemental Catholicism (prayer cards are handed out, saints are invoked, and even the magic tricks have occasional flickers of iconography), the question and answer segments, the insistence on respectful behavior. And yet, as always, the show is more than the sum of its parts, in great measure because of Donovan's ownership if Sister. She gets this woman – the way she thinks, the way she copes with mistakes or outrageous questions or even inappropriate clothing. As the character shows love of life, so the audience shows love of the character.
The Las Vegas theme is a bit free-form, however, made up more than usually of ad libs based on audience participation. This may add to the silliness quotient, but it leaves little for the "class" time – the wonderfully free-form interpretations of Catholicism which have been the trademark of earlier LNC renditions. Still, the fun is there, and by the time Donovan gives her usual pitch for funds for local nuns in retirement (the last time in La Mirada it bought a local nuns' retirement home a van), the audience is ready to give back after an evening of light, airy, silly entertainment.
The night I saw it was particularly lacking in folks who were Catholic, which is really too bad. Those raised in Catholic schools, or in the church itself, are usually those who laugh the loudest. Still, those who were there were having a great time. One word of warning: if you sit close to the front be sure you're wearing clothing you'd want the rest of the audience to see, as you are very likely to be asked to stand, or even go onstage. I'm sure at least one person so called upon, on opening night, wished they'd been warned.
What: "Late Night Catechism Las Vegas: Sister Rolls the Dice" When: Through November 16, 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays Where: La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts, 14900 La Mirada Blvd. in La Mirada How Much: $20 – $70 Info: (562) 944-9801, (714) 994-6310, or http://www.lamiradatheatre.com
