'Allo 'Allo! is a British sitcom broadcast on BBC One from 1982 to 1992 comprising eighty-five episodes. It is a parody of another BBC programme, the wartime drama Secret Army. 'Allo, 'Allo! was created by David Croft, who also wrote the theme music, and Jeremy Lloyd. Lloyd and Croft wrote the first six series. The remaining series were written by Lloyd and Paul Adam. The show tells the fictitious story of Rene Artois, a café owner in a small town in Nazi occupied France, who reluctantly helps the French resistance in their various schemes, the main of which is to help hide British airmen from the Germans. At the same time, he has to hide artefacts such as famous paintings for the German soldiers who frequent his café, while trying to keep his affairs with his waitresses secret from his wife. The comedy is a combination of wordplay, farce, slapstick, and sexual innuendo. Unlike most sitcoms, the episodes build on previous ones, requiring viewers to watch the series chronologically in order to fully understand the plot. In 2004, 'Allo 'Allo came 13th in Britain's Best Sitcom. A reunion special, comprising new material, archive clips and specially recorded interviews, was broadcast on 28 April 2007 on BBC Two.

MOBILE, Alabama – An Alabama man today goes on trial on marriage fraud charges, and the state's controversial immigration law may play an indirect role.
Prosecutors want to introduce evidence that defendant Andreas Andreasen Jr.'s wife, Katerina Petrasova, arranged a sham marriage between her boyfriend and another woman. Petrasova, according to a court filing by prosecutors, was concerned that her boyfriend would be deported because of the tough immigration law passed the state Legislature last year.
Before testimony in the case against Andreasen begins, Chief U.S. District Judge William Steele will have to decide whether to allow the evidence regarding Petrasova's attempt to arrange a fraudulent marriage between fellow Czech Republic native David Cejka and an American woman named Sharon Hope Farrow.
Petrasova already has pleaded guilty to marriage fraud, admitting that she arranged to marry Andreasen so that she could stay in the United States after the expiration of her visitor's visa.
Prosecutors argue that details of Petrasova's role in setting up the second marriage should be admitted because it is inextricably intertwined in the current allegations. Those facts are "necessary to complete the story of the crime; that is, Petrasova entered into a fraudulent marriage with Andreasen to ultimately obtain her citizenship," Assistant U.S. Attorney Adam Overstreet wrote.
Andreasen's attorney, James Scroggins, argues prosecutors should not be allowed to tell jurors about the second marriage because his client had nothing to do with it. He noted that there is no allegation that that Andreasen even knew about the conversations between Petrasova and Farrow.
"The co-defendant's attempt to arrange a separate and distinct marriage, two years later, between two other individuals, is not part of the crime as charged in the indictment," he wrote.
Added Scroggins: "Neither is this evidence necessary to tell the complete story of the crime."
According to the prosecution filing, Petrasova asked Farrow if she had ever heard of people paying for marriages. Overstreet wrote that she described Cejka, her boyfriend of seven years, as the love of her life and told Farrow that it was impractical for him to move to another state to avoid Alabama's immigration law because she and he recently had purchased a house together in Gulf Shores and were planning to start a family.
Petrasova, according to the court filing, offered to pay Farrow $4,000 to marry Cejka and remain so for at least two years – the amount of time a marriage to an American must last because a foreigner can obtain permanent residency,
Farrow initially turned down the offer but agreed to the arrangement after Petrasova asked again in December, Overstreet wrote. He stated that Farrow followed through with an informal ceremony at the Pensacola courthouse in January.
Within a week, though, Farrow changed her mind and started taking steps to get the married annulled.

Jewelry Repair and Ring Sizing
Selecting the correct ring size for your purchase is important. If you are unsure of the correct ring size, we provide several ring sizing tools / guides to assist you, although we also recommend having the ring size checked by a local jeweler when possible.
Ring Sizing
After you have received your order, if you need it resized, simply contact us and we will be happy to assist you. There will be a small sizing fee of $25/ring. (After the returns period expires, ring sizing is $50 / ring). If you need to change your ring size after placing your order but before it ships, there will not be a fee but it may delay your order.
Our jewelers do not stretch rings, but instead will add precious metal when increasing the size. The band is then laser welded back together and polished for a near seamless finish.
In case you are unsure of the correct ring size and plan to have it re-sized, once received, by a local jeweler, in general, it is easier to size up a ring with side stones than it is to size a ring down as the stones can become loose.
Please see this link for more ring size tips.
There is an exact ring size to mm ring size conversion which our jewelers employ in creating our jewelry. Unfortunately ring sizing instruments used by some jewelers are not standardized which can result in a variation of ring sizing up to 1/4 a size. Therefore if you are visiting a local jeweler to have your ring sized, you might consider visiting a few different stores.
We offer very competitive pricing (which is essentially our cost) for repairs of jewelry purchased from our company. If your jewelry is in the need of repair, please contact us with an explanation of what the problem is. We will provide an estimate where possible, but at times we may need the item to be sent back before we can accurately assess the problem.
Jewelry Repairs
We unfortunately do not offer repair services for jewelry purchased from other companies.

Pimp My Post
The EzCam Post was designed to help you make taking photographs and videos simple and fun. In many instances, like us, you may not have someone to operate the camera for you, so you will turn to a mount. In most cases tripods are too bulky, cumbersome, and unstable. The EzCam Post solves all of those problems, plus it gives you the added protection of securing your camera and keeping it from falling over.
During the course of developing and prototyping we used a lot of other products in conjunction with the EzCam Post. This page highlights some of our favourites and acts as guide to help you find them.
The GoPro
We're sure that by now everyone knows about the GoPro, but we had to mention it as we use a lot of different cameras, but it is our favourite camera to pair with the EzCam Post. The GoPro is easily the leader in the "Action Cam" segment of Cameras.
To mount a GoPro to the EzCam Post, you will need a Tripod Mount, just like you would for any tripod or monopod. The good news is, it's dirt cheap.
The Glif
The Glif is a cool little product from Neat Studios that attaches to almost any smartphone and even bulky smartphone cases, allowing you to mount smartphones to the EzCam Post the same way it would to any tripod or monopod, via the 1/4"-20 thread. There are lots of products on the market that are designed specifically for different smartphone models, which is what makes The Glif so great, it's universal. Simple design and very affordable, it's a must have.
Fluid Video Heads
If you plan on taking video and want the ability to change the camera angle on the fly, you should consider purchasing a Fluid Video Head. It does exactly what you think it might, tilts and pans in a fluid manner, allowing you to capture smooth flowing shots while following the action. We have experimented with a pile of different ones and give top marks to Manfrotto and Velbon. Prices vary from inexpensive to the professional level. B&H photo has one the best selections online.
Ball Heads
Compact and simple, ball heads are an option if you just want to set a specific camera angle and leave it static. Some tripods and monopods come with simple ones, so you may even have one kicking around somewhere. Easily the cheapest accessory available to be able to change your shooting angle. The one from Square Jellyfish below is dirt cheap.
Tilt and Pan Heads
Commonly associated with tripods, they incorporate levels to help you get that prefect angle for the prefect shot. Traditionally many tripods came with one of these so you may also have one of these kicking around if you have an old tripod.
Manfrotto Super Clamp
The Super Clamp grabs onto the EzCam Post perfectly at any desired height. We have used it to run a stereo recording device from Yamaha. It is pictured here without the brass "stud", but we recommend you get the brass stud that fits in the slot. It would also be ideal for attaching lights or even a second camera!
The SOLOSHOT2
Admittedly we haven't tried this one yet, but it looks amazing. This is a must have for anyone who wants to film themselves doing anything active. The videos on their site look stunning. There has been a few other products on the market the last few years attempting the same concept but this one looks like it the mark perfectly.
RAM Mounting Systems
RAM has been making quality products for years. Lot's of innovative stuff. In particular they make quite a bit of stuff with a 1/4"-20 thread which is perfect for paring with the EzCam Post. Get a 1" Ball with a female thread, one of their various arms and a GoPro adapter. Voila, you have created a whole new monster camera system with a massive range of adjustability. We have been using their products for years, in particular for mounting fish finders/GPS systems.

This time it was at work, as he wandered into Mom's Music, stumbling around in a drug-induced haze, laughing hysterically at bizarre hallucinations (he atempted to describe them) seen only by himself.
It was a very difficult situation, as there were several families around with small kids who were quite frightened- and with good reason.
Drugs are such wretched things. Few things depict the depravity that abounds in our culture with more clarity.

The other day Geno and I were grabbing coffee at the Village Grind (which is right next to our new Greenville SOON-TO-BE OFFICES!) and something he said hit me and captured my heart.
Geno says often that he can't begin any project with "ideas in mind." He likes to keep his mind "agnostic" for as long as possible.
We talked about this idea for a while. I'm a bit of a fixer, and tend to jump to solutions and next steps too quickly. I'm pretty self-aware, so I know sometimes this isn't always the best idea.
Much of what Geno and I discussed is about looking at all of life and work with a "beginner's mind." Some of my favorite people on the planet have a constant childlike wonder. Don't you love to be around people who see the world with fresh delight and excitement? I like to think that is a collective trait of many of us at Brains on Fire. At least it's something we try and keep alive. You don't hear a lot of "that's not how we do it" here at Brains on Fire.
So what are some ways to keep a beginner's mind at work?
1. Constantly try and learn new things.
Embrace what you don't know. Brandy is someone who lets her fear motivate her – in a really good way. If it scares her a wee bit, she does it anyway. Run for mayor of her hometown? She does it. Cut her long hair short? She does it. All with amazing grace.
2. Embrace new things even if they seem silly at first.
Don't make snap judgements about anything. Snapchat? Try it. Slack? Lean in. There is so much change in our world it can be tempting to crawl in a cave, but what if you look at it as a challenge to take on all the shiny, new objects. As a person of a certain age I can say with certainty… it's all good. It's all fun. We have never lived in a more exciting time in my humble opinion. So try it all.
3. Don't let your expert mind take over.
Experts have a few ideas. Beginners have so many more. Let go of your ego and your expert mind.
4. Bring your beginners mind to your relationships at work.
Try and understand, with fresh eyes, what is happening when someone communicates (or mis-communicates) with you. I've come to believe that we're all just trying to do our best. Nothing is personal and yet it's all personal. I get it. It's so easy to get your feelings hurt over small things. Beginners work hard to UNDERSTAND.
5. Don't be afraid to make a mistake.
Experts need to be right. Beginners try new things. I was talking to the founder of a wonderful company the other day and what struck me most as we discussed a possible project was when he said, "We can try some things. It might work, it might not." I love that point of view. We have to be willing to try things that might or might not work if we are going to create anything meaningful in this world. A little fear is good, but too much and you're doomed.
6. Drop your anxiety. Replace it with curiosity.
What will I learn in this meeting? At this speaking event? Who will I meet? You can't be curious and anxious at the same time. Trust me, this is so helpful.
7. Don't take yourself too seriously.
(Unless you're a brain surgeon. That you should take seriously.) Otherwise, play is a good thing at work. Get messy. Make things. Put ideas on the wall for others to consider. Invite others in. Bring cookies. Play music and dance. Work is not meant to be so freaking serious. At least in my opinion. And lastly…

Cocktails on the Fly
Posted on Monday, October 15th, 2012
Sometimes you just need to make cocktails lickety-split. I recently spent most of a Sunday preparing an everything-from-scratch Mexican feast for a some extra special family members. They were well worth all the extra time in the kitchen. I had the best intentions of creating a fancy new Mama Beth cocktail featuring tequila for our pre-dinner cocktail. Well, I ran out of time, but relied on a favorite formula of mine. Booze + a little something sweet + a little something tart. I had some cans of San Pellegrino Aranciata Rossa (blood orange soda) in our pantry. That was my something sweet. And lemon and lime for my tart. I went with a reposado tequila to add a subtle layer of smokey. In no time at all, we had tasty "poptails". I ran across that clever word while cruising Pinterest. Here's my recipe for:
Mama Beth's Poptail
- 2 ounces reposado tequila
- good squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- good squeeze of fresh lime juice
- 4 ounces San Pellegrino Aranciata Rossa (blood orange soda)
Mix directly in your glass. Add ice.

I LOVE TO DANCE. It's one of the things in life that gives me the most joy. I can keep a fairly good rhythm too and having lived in the Caribbean for the majority of my teenage years, I learnt to shake my ass pretty good. However, when it comes to coordinated dance routines similar to the likes of Beyoncé and RiRi that is where my coordination falls flat on its face. A BUCKET LIST BLOG: TAKING A DIVA DANCE CLASS
As soon as someone is counting me in to a count of 8 followed by a left turn, booty swing, pelvis thrust, step down, cross back, jump and slide I look like a blind puppy with two left paws. Is it possible to have coordination dyslexia because I got that bad?
Now I am freelance and master of my own time I have made a promise to myself to experience new things in the next 12 months. Perspirex Antiperspirant has got my back on this one and has signed me up to take part in a dance workshop and nail a Diva Dance Routine, in public, in one day. I'm nervous!
Nerves don't usually get the better of me but my mind is filled with embarrassing scenarios where I look like a total twat in a sea of Pineapple dance studio professionals who regularly pop in for a little shimmy on Thursday eve.
I'm kitted out in my new Sweaty Betty workout gear and of course an anti-perspirant that will not let me down! Perspirex comes in both Original and Comfort and the most impressive thing about this product is that it's said to work for 3-5 days, even between showers. I know, I couldn't believe it either which is why I was excited to put it to the test in an environment that involved lots of cardio but also one I was quite nervous about.
I decide to push this product to its limit and apply it after a shower the night before and spend a whole day running around town shooting before the dance class. Sneaking a quick sniff before the class and my armpits are bone dry and odour free. WHAT!? Have they stopped working or something? Usually I'd be in despo need of a shower after shooting back to back for 6 hours…
I'm joined (mostly for moral support) by my friend Emily at Seen on Screen at the YMCA for their 6.30pm Diva Dance class. Emily is a Daily Express journo who lives for subjecting herself to awkward and new experiences and doesn't take herself too seriously. The perfect dancing partner!
The studio is quite small and it quickly fills up with young bubbly girls of all shapes and sizes. This class sells out every week! We will be learning a sexy routine to Rihanna's Skin track. My hands are already a little moist. I'm definitely going to be standing on toes.
We start with a warm up that is quite ass and abs focused. The blood is pumping. What I love about dancing is that you can basically trick yourself into exercising. The teacher is very chilled and encouraging. Emily and I fucked up loads and end up on the floor in fits of laughter more than once. When we make a mistake we style it out. THIS IS FUN. By the end of the hour-long class I've semi achieved 1 minute of coordinated routine but it's the most fun I have had in ages working up a sweat.
We change into our party gear in the toilets as we are off to a Gin Distillery Hotel and Bar opening in Notting Hill. I don't even shower but I don't need to because I still smell fresh. Feeling like I've got a bit of a dirty secret we socialise until midnight, drinking and mingling with a very cool crowd. I haven't showered in over 36 hours and I've sweated quite a lot but you wouldn't know unless I told you! Haha.

Useful info
How to use Perspirex:
The skin must be completely dry and unbroken before application. Use a hairdryer at cool setting if necessary. Do not use until 48 hours after shaving or waxing. Never apply to damaged/irritated skin.
At night, before going to bed apply a small amount (approx. 2 strokes up and 2 stokes down) as a thin film, evenly distributed only on the armpit area. Allow to fully dry after application.
Wash off in the morning with soap and water. Do not re-apply as the protection will last even after a shower. Should you wish to you can also apply a regular scented deodorant or perfume, this will not affect the efficacy of Perspirex.
Perspirex Comfort – Sensitive formula lasts 3-5 days. Perspirex Original lasts up to 5 days.
This post is in collaboration with Perspirex deodorant, which is, honestly, a miracle product if you sweat a lot or feel like your deodorant just isn't working hard enough for you. All thoughts are my own.

I'm playing around with Oracle's SQL Developer 4 EA3 and Database 12c. Using SQL Dev, I quickly created a Pluggable Database (PDB). I try to open it, and I get this (ORA-01033).
Then I remember reading that the Pluggable Databases don't open automatically when the database services are started. Well that sucks because now I have to connect using my SYS account in the Container DB and issue the following command:
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE [put your PDB name here] OPEN READ WRITE;
Now I can go back and open a worksheet connected to my PDB. Easy enough right? But I said I was playing around with SQL Developer and DB12c. So how can I not type this in every time I want to connect to my PDB? Simple, put that command in the SQLDev Start-up script. (Thanks +Jeff Smith for your post on the startup script gave me the idea.) For those that don't know where to go, it's right here:
Create an .SQL file with the command below:
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE [put your PDB name here] OPEN READ WRITE;
save it, browse to it, and click OK. There you have it. Now you still have to at least connect to the SYS account in the CDB which will execute the Start-up Script, but that's all. You can now open a connection to your PDB. I tested using a substitution variable, but it yielded some strange results, and I haven't tried opening multiple PDBs within the start-up script. Maybe I'll test that out in a later post.

Lovech is one of the municipal cities in Bulgaria with a population of around 35,000 people. It is located in the northern part of Central Bulgaria, 150 km away from Sofia. Osam River flows through the city making turns around the three hills of Lovech. The city is one of the oldest ones in Bulgaria with evidences found in cave paintings, fortresses and Tracian tombs in the area. Lovech played an important role during the Bulgarian National Revival (18th and 19th centuries) and the liberation of the country from the Ottoman rule. One of the most famous places in Lovech is the Covered bridge connecting the old and new parts of the city. It was almost thoroughly destroyed twice since its construction in the end of the 19th century. Today it features 14 shops and is the symbol of Lovech. Varosha Quarter is the old part of Lovech and is declared an architectural-historical reserve. Visitors can see old schools, museums, birth houses of famous Bulgarians from the near past, monuments, as well as the Lovech Zoo. Lovech is a tourist destination in all seasons, preferably in spring and winter. Many Bulgarians and foreigners choose the cosy 2-star and 3-star hotels in the centre of Lovech or in the quiet surrounding areas. The accommodations around the city park of Stratesh and the old Varosha Quarter are also preferred by the tourists. Many people would love to stay in one of the old but restored guest houses where modern facilities and the Revival's architecture meet. A big 4-star hotel is located in the heart of Lovech and offers luxury rooms and apartments, restaurant, cafes, sports hall and all the required facilities for conferences and business meetings. Walk around the Covered Bridge and visit one of the romantic cafes, restaurants and taverns or the many souvenir and crafts stores. Even though Lovech offers a lot of things to do and explore, don't ignore the tourist attractions close to the city - the Krushuna waterfalls, Vidimsko Praskalo and Kademliysko Praskalo waterfalls, the Devetashka karst cave, Saeva Dupka cave and many more.

August 29, 2003 · Lessig
The Stanford CIS has been working on a case for a long time to establish the public domain status of Peter Pan. (The Internet has apparently already recognized it. Check out the Google search on Peter Pan). We represent a Canadian author, Emily Somma, who has written a sequel to the public domain portions of the Peter Pan story, called "After the Rain." Somma was threatened by the rights holders of the Peter Pan-related work still under copyright. The essence of their claim is that so long as anything Peter Pan related is under copyright/trademark protection, everything is. (The rights holder is a children's hospital in England, which has meant (1) that service of our complaint has been severely delayed by the UK government, and (2) that we get lots of nasty letters from people who think a charity should have the right to do whatever it wants so long as it benefits children. I'm all for charities, and especially for charities benefitting children, but threatening an author who is simply building upon the public domain is not the stuff a charity should be doing.)
ANYWAY, while practicing my Danish (not really: I am totally language illiterate) I came across another wonderful example of this increasing practice.
According to this story, there's a Danish character called "Gummi-Tarzan" (I think this is an image) that has been forced to drop "Tarzan" from its name by the ever-pleasant Disney Corporation. This because Disney believes it owns "Tarzan." This because Disney has trademark protection in a bunch of Disney work that builds upon Edgar Rice Burrough's "Tarzan," even though Burrough's Tarzan originates from 1914, and is therefore within the public domain. Nonetheless, from now on, Gummi-Tarzan must be referred to as Gummi-T.
The public domain was supposed to be a lawyer-free zone. So much for how things were supposed to be. (Thanks to Joergen Ramskov and Thomas Wesley Hinton for porting the story into a form that the I could understand.)

Police arrest 3 for targeting West Bank land inspector
Suspects caught at Kibbutz Tirat Tzvi home of official who orders demolitions of illegal structures
Lazar Berman is a former breaking news editor at The Times of Israel.
Three men were arrested early Friday morning in Kibbutz Tirat Tzvi, near the Jordan border, on suspicion that they intended to damage the property of a senior inspector from the Israel Land Administration who lives on the kibbutz.
The three, aged 19-23, allegedly targeted the inspector, responsible for approving building in the northern West Bank, because he had distributed demolition orders for illegal structures in the West Bank.
The suspects hailed from the West Bank settlements of Talmon and Shadmot Mehola.
Tirat Tzvi sits several kilometers south of Beit She'an on the Israel-Jordan border.
Kibbutz spokeswoman Dalia Yohanan told The Times of Israel that the three caught the attention of residents and the kibbutz guard when they began hanging posters on the inspector's car, denouncing him and the demolition of illegal settlement buildings in the West Bank. After the suspects refused to remove the posters and leave the kibbutz, residents alerted police.
Police found containers filled with gasoline on the three men, and suspect they intended to burn the inspector's car or home.
Yohanan said that she was unaware of any weapons found on the suspects.
Friday morning, the Nazareth District Court heard the police request to extend the detention of the three suspects.
Also overnight, seven Israelis, including four minors, were arrested in connection with this week's incident in the Palestinian village of Qusra.
Early Tuesday afternoon, some 15 Israeli settlers were captured by Palestinians, and held in a structure in the town after they allegedly approached Qusra in order to carry out an attack to protest the Israeli Civil Administration's uprooting earlier in the day of a settler olive grove near the West Bank outpost of Esh Kodesh. The settlers, said to have come from the outpost, claimed later they were merely out hiking.
The settlers, some of whom were beaten by their captors, were handed over to the IDF after several hours.
Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

El elefante azul, by Juan Rentero, is a short book with three characters and a simple plot. But while it lacks in complexity, the text is very easy to read, and so it's very useful in teaching beginners, FLES and immersion students. It would be good for a unit about friendship or animals.

Above: Lee Kane, Remy Aronoff, and Ethan Aronoff
"An Early History of Tennis in Millville, New Jersey," is a new book that is available to purchase at the Millville Public Library. This book was written by Remy, Jake, and Ethan Aronoff. Other people who were involved with writing this story are: Bill and Nancy Gant Forester, Lee Kane, Mike Lascarides, Don Shipley, George Waltman, Betty Smith, and Bill Wenz.
This story begins by discussing how tennis first began in the United States. The book shares accounts of some of the first tennis matches that took place in Bridgeton, Millville, and Vineland. The Aronoff brothers wrote about the very first tennis team that started at Millville High School. When reading this book, one will discover that Millville tennis teams have won multiple championships. The Millville High School Varsity Tennis team started in 1948. "An Early History of Tennis in Millville, New Jersey" even has an article about the Millville High School's 1950 Co-State Championship!

West Virginia's capital city, Charleston, springs up from the convergence of the I-64, I-77 and I-79 and spreads out along the banks of the Kanawha and Elk rivers. With a greater metropolitan population of around 220,000, Charleston definitely qualifies as a small city. What it lacks in census girth, however, the city makes up for in surprisingly cool curiosities to keep you busy. At least for a day or two.
Kanawha State Forest (7500 Kanawha State Forest Drive) is a great example of the technical trails the Appalachian Mountains are known for and offers intermediate to advanced-intermediate riding.
Start your ride off by heading up Middle Ridge Road, a gravel, jeep trail accessible from Range Road, which will (eventually) level off on top of the ridge. Pick up Middle Ridge Trail from here, which meanders back and forth across Middle Ridge Road for a few miles and keeps you up on top of the ridge.
Once you're warmed up, hit Polecat, Ballard or Teaberry Rock trail(s), then loop back up Middle Ridge Road to jump on something else. Whatever you decide to ride, don't leave KSF without taking on Black Bear Trail, a super chunky, technical thrill ride that's over far too quickly.
If you're in the mood for pizza and want to hang out in a cool, artsy, former-house-turned-restaurant, then head over to Lola's (1038 Bridge Road) and get one of their handmade, Neapolitan-style, stone hearth fired pizzas. They also make amazing salads (goat cheese salad, seriously) and have an assortment of craft brews and specialty sodas to quench your post-ride thirst.
If hot dogs are more your thing, then you've got to go see Jason Myer at Super Weenie Hot Dogs (corner of Capitol and Lee streets). Jason hand built his hot dog cart, which he parks at the corner of Capitol and Lee most days, and for a couple of dollars he'll hook you up with a made to order dog and a bag of chips. I recommend the West Virginia Dog, which features both coleslaw AND chili. Jason also offers veggie sausage substitutes and soft drinks.
Something Cool
After you get your fill of West Virginia Dogs, head over to Taylor Books (226 Capitol St.) and peruse the assortment of new and used books and magazines (including this fine publication). They also offer coffee and pastries.
Stroll through the inside/outside Capitol Market (800 Smith St.) for an assortment of goods from local farmers and merchants and stock up on local produce, honey, wine or hand-made chocolates.
Don't leave the Mountain State's capital city without checking in with the cool kids at Kin Ship Goods. This hipster meets hillbilly print shop offers a ton of super cool graphic tees and products with a West Virginia vibe. Check out their online shop too at kinshipgoods.com.
During the summer months, Charleston hosts Live on the Levee (Haddad Riverfront Park), a free to attend, open air concert, right on the banks of the Kanawha River. It's a fun way to spend an evening, and to walk off all the food you've eaten.
While you're downtown, make sure to swing by the Capitol building itself, which is one of the few in the country to boast a golden dome.

In the amazing, "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years", Don Miller describes how he grew up with out a dad. He eventually decided to investigate, to try and find his father. Eventually, he gets information that leads him to believe that his father has passed away. He writes, "… to be honest, I missed him. I grieved the death of my father, I suppose. And it's an odd thing to grieve somebody you never knew."
I had to stop reading then. This just hit me somewhere so deep I don't have a name for it. I wasn't effected for any sort of obvious reason. My dad is alive, has always been part of my life, and I have a great relationship with him. It was something else.
Without quite knowing why, I thought about how my wife and I lost a child while the child was still in the womb. She was just out of the first trimester. This child would have been our second. We were so ill equipped to be parenting a second child at that point: I was unemployed. Our marriage was a bit of a mess. We were still new to the whole parenting thing. We were young, which isn't a problem, and we were immature, which is a problem.
And yet: I grieved.
I grieved for a being, who by in reasonable definition, I didn't know. I still grieve a little bit today. I wonder what it would be like to be the dad of four children instead of 3. I have this real sense of loss. Whenever the thought or subject comes up– in conversation or just in my brain– I gasp a little bit.
Miller is right. It's an odd thing to grieve the loss of somebody you never knew. But it's built into us. It's hard for me to imagine growing up with out a dad. But even if I did… if I was in his shoes, I'd feel the same way. I'd grieve.
There is some element of grief and loss that is personal. My grandmother used to make me laugh. I miss her ridiculous and vulgar sense of humor. We don't have these connections with a person we never met. We don't know what we are missing. In this sense, it is odd to grieve over a person we've never met.
I think that isn't the whole story though. I think that there is something more to grief than just the personal. This is why we grieve for those we've never really known, despite the oddness.
I think that we are constructed to be in certain relationships. We are made to be sons and daughters. We are made to be brothers and sisters. Many of us are made to be parents. We have these holes inside of us that can only be filled by these relationships.
I wonder if when Don Miller felt grief over the dad he never met, if it's coming from this universal element of grief. I wonder if when I think of the child we lost, if it's the idea that I could have been a dad to somebody else and I lost that oppurtunity.
I guess I'm supposed to wrap up with some pithy and optimistic thought… but I just don't have it in me, right now.

Equine Behaviour term of the week: Stereotypies
My students thought I made a typo on my power point – odd word, stereotypy. These are things we know as cribbing, weaving stall walking, etc. Defined as an action that's practised out of its original context/ environment until it becomes repetitive, mechanical and compulsive.
• Triggered by stress or pain, initially.
• Brings relief, pleasure, releases dopamine (pleasure brain chemical)
• Once habit formed (compulsive), will occur when horse is not under stress
• Purposeless: It doesn't get the horse anywhere except a temporary "feel good."
Looks crazy perhaps, to see a horse wavering back and forth, or grabbing any edge and sucking in air. But what do we humans do to normalize life, but it doesn't really get us anywhere? Buy more stuff, have another drink, rebound into another relationship…is it wise to take stock from time to time to check if anything in life is becoming repetitive, mechanical, purposeless?

Do horses watch and learn?
While nearly three-quarters of owners, when asked, believe that horses can learn negative behaviors from each other (such as cribbing), Evelyn Hanggi, MS PhD, president of the Equine Research Foundation, said as yet there is no research supporting this theory. "In reality, the appearance of stereotypies (vices such as cribbing) in horses living near each other is more likely caused by genetic relatedness or to the stress of existing in the same, inappropriate environment," she said.
While researchers continue to study this, it's safe to say at this point, you need not fret about your horse's cribbing neighbor at the boarding stable, or hope that your reining horse will learn to stop by watching your trainer's horse slide.
Interestingly, stereotypies are unknown in non domestic horses: another reason to naturalize our horse's lives as much as it's possible to fit in with our chosen discipline and situation, don't you think?

Horse Shows: Exam Time
Students in the Equine Behaviour class I teach wrote their final exams today. Remember reading a test question and the thrill of "Yes! I studied that!"? Conversely, "Rats, I meant to go in for extra help with that…I hoped it wouldn't be on the test."
Schooling shows, provincial shows, national shows – quizzes, tests and exams. With the first spring show around the corner, now's the time to be acquiring the skills from your coach and working them out in your practice ring so you can have a ready answer when the question presents itself in the show ring.
Be it a rollback turn in equitation over fences, counter-canter in a horsemanship pattern or a water obstacle filled with the real stuff in competitive trail, there's nothing like the confidence of having a ready answer!

Event detail
Women in the Red Army, 1941-1945
Lecture | November 15 | 4-5:30 p.m. | 270 Stephens Hall
Oleg Budnitskii, Professor of History, and Director, International Center for the History and Sociology of World War II and Its Consequences, National Research University - Higher School of Economics, Moscow
Institute of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ISEEES)
During the years of the Great Patriotic War about 500,000 women were called up to serve in the Red Army. In the Second World War, the Soviet Union was not the only country to enlist women in the military. But the Soviet experience was unique in the fact that a significant number of women served in combat units. Female pilots and snipers attained the greatest fame. Some women served as tank crew members, machine gunners, and some did other combat-related jobs. It is these women whose experiences have been studied in significant detail in a scholarly literature that focuses solely on womens combat roles. In my paper, which is based on the analysis of diaries and memoirs by female war veterans that became available in post-Soviet period, I intend to look at the social aspects of these womens lives during the war. The heroines of this paper faced the realities of Soviet life, which these city dwellers and students of elite universities knew only superficially. Lastly, this was a specifically female experience an experience of young women finding themselves in a male environment.

Revision as of 16:38, 31 August 2008
Template:Royalty infobox Arveleg I (T.A. 1309[1] - T.A. 1356) was the eighth king of Arthedain, succeeding his father, Argeleb I.
During his lifetime, the father of Arveleg, Argeleb son of Malvegil, was the only King in Arnor that still had Isildur's heritage. As such, he claimed lordship over Rhudaur and Cardolan. The men of Rhudaur resisted this claim, and a captain of the Hill-men of that land formed a secret alliance with Argeleb's enemy, the Witch-king of Angmar. Thus Arveleg grew up in an era of War. The armies of Angmar and Rhudaur laid siege to the Weather Hills, and Argeleb fell. And so, in T.A. 1356, Arveleg became the eighth King of Arthedain.
With the help of the Dúnedain of Cardolan and the Elves of Lindon, Arveleg managed to drive out the enemies from the Weather Hills. Arthedain and Cardolan kept a guarded border along the Weather Hills, the Great East Road and the lower Hoarwell. This defense was apparently effective, as Angmar shifted its attention to Rivendell instead.
In T.A. 1409, the armies of Angmar and Rhudaur crossed the Hoarwell, occupied Cardolan, and closed in on Weathertop. In a bloody battle, both Arveleg and the last prince of Cardolan were slain. The palantír of Amon Sûl could be saved, however, and was brought to the capital of Arthedain, Fornost.
After his death, Arveleg was succeeded by his 18-year old son, Araphor. Though this was a young age for one of Númenórean blood, he was valiant. With the help of the Círdan of Lindon, he repelled attacks on Fornost and the North Downs[2].
Arveleg's name is Sindarin for "Mighty King" from ar meaning "royal", and beleg (becoming lenited to veleg) meaning "mighty, strong"[3].
Portrayal in adaptations
2006: EA's The Battle for Middle-earth II:
- The events surrounding Arveleg play a major role in the expansion pack, The Rise of the Witch-king. Arveleg, voiced by Cam Clarke, is portrayed as using the palantír of Amon Sûl to anticipate the Witch-king's plans. He survives the Fall of Amon Sûl and takes the palantír with him, but destroys it (and himself in the process) to prevent it from falling in the Witch-king's hands.

Over the years several have praised the skylights on many Maine shelters, that allow the sun into the remote recesses of the Adirondak style leantos used in Maine. Others have cursed the rain that often leaks in around these skylights. Those who think a shelter should protect users from rain have won. This summer the MATC campsite committee has begun removing the skylights because of the numerous complaints of them leaking whenever it rains, and the inability to find a sealant that works. This month the skylights were removed from two leantos -- Pleasant Pond and Baldpate. The skylight will be removed from the Bemis Shelter on August 27. The remaining skylights on nine other shelters will come out within three years, the committee reports.
The skylights are an innovation that failed. The skylights have "proven to be leaky, fragile, and faded," the committee says in a report in the club's newsletter, the "MAINEtainer." which went to press today. The old corrogated plastic is carefully removed, along with multiple layers of duct tape, and multiple layers of goop, "some white, some black, some gray," providing evidence of the numerous attempts to prevent leaking.
New metal inserts are being eased in to prevent future leaks. It's not an easy chore. The heavy 4 foot by 12 foot metal replacement panel had to be carried up a steep hill and along two miles of trail from the nearest trailhead to reach the Baldpate leanto in Grafton Notch.
