The city of Alicante is the capital of its own province and it is also the second most important city in the Valencia district of Spain. The city on the famous Costa Blanca has recently transformed itself from a rundown old town into a stylish city, with its new harbour complex, clean beaches, outstanding museums, exceptional shops and buzzing nightlife.
Alicante appeals to many travellers who wish to take a break from their busy lifestyles in order to visit this sunny, easy going, sea port city. Tourists can not only relax along the stunning beaches but also discover the great historical monuments the city has to offer.
Although Alicante has reinvented itself into a modern city with endless entertainment, it has not lost its Spanish roots. With its warm and friendly inhabitants, its traditional festivities lighting up the city all year round, and its fresh sea-food paella dish straight out of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, the city of Alicante has the right balance for everyone.
The most popular tourist town on the Costa Blanca is Benidorm, offering a wide range of facilities and entertainment to holidaymakers. In addition, there are also many other tourist towns which are really worth visiting, such as San Juan, Dénia, Altea, Calpe, Xàbia and Torrevieja - all easily accessible by public transport from Alicante.

Die Walküre is the second work and æfirst eveningÆ of Richard WagnerÆs four-opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen, following Das Rheingold. It has become the most performed opera of the cycle, loved and admired for its nuanced and intelligent exploration of complex family entanglements, expressed through music of astonishing power ¢ perhaps nowhere more so than in the glorious music for the incestuous lovers Siegmund and Sieglinde.
The first day of the tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen in three acts
Libretto by Richard Wagner.
Die Walkure (The Valkyrie) is the second of the four operas that comprise Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung), by Richard Wagner. It received its premiere at Munich's National Theatre on 26 June 1870. It is the source of the famous piece Ride of the Valkyries.
Wagner took his tale from the Norse mythology told in the Volsunga saga.
Although Wotan, the ruling God, governs the giants, people and dwarves with the aid of treaties and agreements engraved on the staff of his spear, he himself has broken these agreements. Wotan had promised to give the Godess Freia to two of the giantsĀ¢ Fasolt and Fafner ¢ as payment for building Valhalla, the home of the gods, but when work was completed he refused to surrender Freia, the Goddess of Youth, whose golden apples ensure the gods eternal life. So instead of Freia, the giants demanded the treasure of Alberich the Nibelung. Alberich had stolen the gold of the Rhine from the three Rhinemaidens and fashioned a Ring with magic powers: its possessor will attain power over the world if he rejects love. Wotan is not ready to abandon love but desires the power that the Ring will provide. He takes it from Alberich by force, the latter placing a deadly curse on the Ring. Wotan gives Alberich's treasure to the giants, but only surrenders the Ring when the wise Godess Erda, the mother of the three Norns who control the fate of the world, warns him of the impending twilight of the gods. Alberich's curse begins to take immediate effect. Fafner kills his brother Fasolt in order to possess the Ring and all its treasures. With the help of a magic helmet fashioned by Alberich's brother Mime, Fafner transforms himself into a fearsome dragon and hides in a cave deep in the woods. Now Wotan attempts to ensure his own safety. Nine Valkyries (led by Brünnhilde, his daughter by Erda) help Wotan raise an army of warriors who will help resist Alberich's powers even if the Nibelung one day retrieves the Ring. At the same time Wotan must influence events in such a way that the Ring falls into the hands of a hero who has grown up free of the will of the gods and who is not connected to any agreements, even with the gods themselves. Under the name of Walse, Wotan falls in love with a mortal woman and she bears him twins ¢ Siegmund and Sieglinde who from their youth live apart from one another. Alberich has also consorted with a mortal woman whom he lured with his gold.
Act IĀAĀfierce storm isĀraging. Siegmund, pursued byĀenemies, seeks refuge inĀa house built around theĀtrunk ofĀaĀmighty ash-tree. This isĀtheĀhome ofĀSieglinde who isĀmarried toĀtheĀbrutal Hunding. Sieglinde does not realise that theĀwounded andĀexhausted stranger isĀher brother. While she isĀcaring forĀhim an unmistakably sexual tension develops between theĀtwo. Hunding returns and, inĀspite ofĀhis distrust ofĀtheĀstranger, offers him hospitality. Siegmund gives his name as Wehwalt (Weh meaning ½sorrow╗), son ofĀWolfe, andĀafter some hesitation tells his story. He had grown up inĀtheĀforest with his parents andĀhis twin sister. Returning home one day he found that marauders had burnt down their hut, killed his mother andĀabducted his sister. Some years later he had become separated from his father, who also disappeared, leaving him alone inĀtheĀworld. Siegmund has tried toĀmix with other men but has always been rejected as an outsider. He isĀnow fleeing from aĀclan whom he had found trying toĀmarry aĀgirl off toĀaĀman she did not love; Siegmund killed her brothers andĀlost his weapons fleeing from her relations. Hunding now reveals that he himself isĀaĀkinsman ofĀthis clan. Siegmund will be protected byĀtheĀlaws ofĀhospitality forĀtheĀnight, but inĀtheĀmorning Hunding will fight him toĀavenge his murdered kinsmen. Left alone, Siegmund cries out forĀhelp toĀhis father Wälse, who had promised that inĀtheĀhour ofĀhis greatest need he would find aĀsword. Sieglinde returns, having drugged Hunding with aĀsleeping draught. She recounts how, when her abductors were marrying her off toĀHunding, aĀmysterious stranger had appeared andĀplunged aĀsword into theĀtrunk ofĀtheĀash-tree. No-one has yet been able toĀdraw it out, but she now believes that Siegmund isĀher saviour andĀthat theĀsword will be his. As theĀdoor ofĀtheĀhouse flies open toĀreveal theĀforest transfigured byĀtheĀarrival ofĀspring, theĀlove which has grown up between theĀtwo breaks out uncontrollably. Siegmund reveals that he isĀtheĀson ofĀWälse andĀdraws forth theĀsword, which he names Notung (Not meaning ½need╗ or ½necessity╗). Sieglinde discloses that she isĀhis own twin sister. Overcome, theĀtwo fall into aĀpassionate embrace.
Act IIĀIt isĀtheĀfollowing morning. Siegmund andĀSieglinde have fled from Hunding into theĀmountains. Wotan orders his daughter, theĀValkyrie Brünnhilde, toĀprepare forĀbattle inĀorder toĀhelp Siegmund kill Hunding inĀtheir coming fight. Fricka, WotanÆs consort, now approaches. As theĀguardian ofĀmarriage, she demands theĀdeath ofĀSiegmund, who isĀguilty ofĀboth adultery andĀincest. When Wotan refuses toĀabandon his ½free hero╗, Fricka lays bare his self-deception: Siegmund isĀinĀno sense independent since his fate has been preordained byĀWotan, who has even indirectly led him toĀfind theĀmagic sword. Wotan, as guardian ofĀoaths, isĀcompelled toĀpunish Siegmund andĀmust now promise toĀleave him toĀhis fate without any protection. He must also forbid Brünnhilde toĀaid him inĀhis fight against Hunding. Once Fricka has left, Wotan openly expresses his despair, andĀinĀtheĀcourse ofĀaĀlong monologue explains toĀBrünnhilde theĀstory ofĀtheĀRing andĀtheĀcurse attached toĀit. When Brünnhilde shows her reluctance toĀabandon Siegmund, Wotan threatens her with his terrible anger; he orders her toĀobey, andĀstorms off. Brünnhilde sadly withdraws. Siegmund andĀSieglinde now arrive; Sieglinde, half-crazed with fear, sinks into an exhausted sleep. Brünnhilde appears before Siegmund toĀannounce his forthcoming death andĀhis reception among theĀheroes ofĀValhalla. Siegmund, however, refuses toĀfollow her into Valhalla if Sieglinde cannot accompany him. Brünnhilde isĀdeeply moved that aĀman can value love higher than theĀeverlasting bliss ofĀValhalla. She isĀovercome with compassion as Siegmund, inĀa fit ofĀdespair, prepares toĀkill his sleeping sister after learning that she bears his child. Brünnhilde prevents him andĀpromises toĀsupport him despite WotanÆs command. But inĀtheĀfight Wotan himself unexpectedly intervenes. His spear shatters theĀmagic sword, Siegmund isĀkilled byĀHunding, andĀBrünnhilde, gathering up theĀpieces ofĀtheĀsword, hastily leads Sieglinde away toĀsafety. Hunding falls dead atĀaĀcontemptuous gesture from Wotan, who then hurries after Brünnhilde toĀpunish her disobedience.
Act IIIĀTheĀValkyries gather together onĀaĀrocky mountain top where they are preparing toĀtake theĀbodies ofĀtheĀfallen heroes toĀValhalla onĀtheir winged horses. Brünnhilde arrives with Sieglinde, seeking their help but theĀValkyries refuse toĀdefy Wotan. Brünnhilde prophesies that Sieglinde will give birth toĀ½the noblest hero inĀtheĀworld╗Ā¢ Siegfried. She gives her theĀfragments ofĀtheĀsword andĀadvises her toĀtake refuge inĀtheĀforest toĀtheĀeast where Fafner guards his treasure andĀwhere Wotan will not follow her. Brünnhilde then comes forward toĀconfront her father who, inĀa furious rage, pronounces her punishment: banished from Valhalla, stripped ofĀher divinity, she will lie asleep onĀthis rock andĀwill belong toĀtheĀman who finds her andĀawakens her. Horrified, theĀeight Valkyries scatter. Brünnhilde tries toĀjustify her disobedience. She had intended toĀcarry out WotanÆs real wishes, which Fricka had forced him toĀrenounce against his will.ĀShe describes, too, how she had been so moved byĀwonder andĀpity at SiegmundÆs predicament andĀbyĀhis love forĀSieglinde that she could not refuse him her help. WotanÆs anger is calmed, andĀhe grants BrünnhildeÆs pitiful prayer toĀbe awoken only byĀaĀhero: with aĀkiss onĀtheĀeyes, he plunges her into aĀprofound sleep andĀthen summons Loge, theĀgod ofĀfire, toĀtheĀrock toĀsurround theĀsleeping Valkyrie with aĀring ofĀmagic fire which can only be penetrated

RFID adoption stalling?
Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems have been touted as a breakthrough enabling technology for supply chain management, asset management, IT security, patient tracking, and a host of other applications.
However, some preliminary analysis of statistics from our work at Computer Economics, coupled with some reports I'm hearing from clients, indicates that rollout of RFID in several different industry applications may be hitting a flat spot. Although companies have launched RFID pilot projects, or have implemented RFID in a limited way, it seems many of them are not extending their use of RFID, at least for now.
It's hard to say whether the problem is with RFID technology itself, or the perceived cost/benefits, but I'd like to understand more in order to write an analysis of this issue.
If you've got insights into the current state of adoption of RFID, please drop me an email, or leave a comment directly on this post.by Frank Scavo, 8/30/2006 01:22:00 PM | permalink | e-mail this!

Salesforce.com's AppExchange proving its viability for developers
Bruce Richardson at AMR Research notes the rapid growth and adoption of new applications available on Salesforce.com's AppExchange platform.
By way of review, AppExchange is the software-as-a-service (SaaS) infrastructure and application development platform on which Salesforce.com runs. Salesforce.com has also made this platform available for software developers to write, market, and sell new applications that can be integrated by means of SOA with Salesforce.com itself, with other apps on AppExchange, or even with external applications that comply with SOA standards.
Richardson writes,When [AppExchange] went live [in January 2006], there were more than 150 applications available. More than 1,500 applications were installed in the first week, and customers took more than 75,000 test drives to try them all out.Are all these new products built on AppExchange just toys? It doesn't appear so. According to another AMR research note, by Robert Bois, a start-up called Kieden launched a search marketing application earlier this year on AppExchange, which "allows users to buy Google ad words directly from within the CRM application and then track the closed-loop process for identifying productivity of leads from the campaign, all the way down to account level."
By April 20th, AppExchange had grown to 188 applications, with 7,100 installations and more than 100,000 test drives. The current numbers are 317 applications, nearly 14,000 installations, and more than 143,000 test drives. One executive said that the Kieden deal has focused a lot of eyes on AppExchange, providing a sharp boost to downloads and test drives.
The AppExchange site maintains a list of the five most popular applications. Maybe it's the free price, but four of the most popular are provided gratis by salesforce.com. These include dashboards to track user adoption, project and issue management, sales quote support, and advanced call scripting.
Kieden started in development in January, funded entirely by the founders own cash. This month the firm was acquired by none other than Salesforce.com. Whatever the price, which was not disclosed, going nine months from start up to acquisition sounds like a pretty good deal and it would seem to be a proof case for SaaS as a new route to value for enterprise software developers.

Oracle's Fusion strategy: clear as mud
Earlier this month, I wrote a post regarding Oracle's intention to build its next-generation Fusion applications on the Oracle E-Business Suite data model and business processes. My conclusion: for JDE and PeopleSoft customers, Fusion will not be like an upgrade to a new version but a migration to a whole new product.
Since then, Josh Greenbaum had the opportunity to sit down with Oracle's John Wookey to understand "the details of where Fusion 1.0 planning is today." Josh writes for Datamation, "I will say that Oracle's strategy is now starting to make some sense."
Josh sums up Oracle's new Fusion story as this:Fusion 1.0, instead of being a superset of the functionality available from the different stand-alone products that Oracle now owns, will be a subset culled from Oracle's many product lines. That subset will appeal mostly to companies that think technology innovation along the lines of web services and business modeling is more important than functional innovation along vertical industry lines.Well that certainly clears things up now, doesn't it?
This means that Fusion 1.0 is not E-Business Suite 13, though many of the EBS data models will be part of Fusion 1.0. Nor is this a "SAP-killer" by any stretch of the imagination. The reality is that Fusion 1.0 is an alternative path toward web services, modeling, and other next generation functionality.
Josh indicates that Oracle is about to launch "a road show designed in part to clear the air about what Fusion Applications are all about."
If Oracle's interview with Josh is any indication of what they will be presenting to customers, they might want to practice in front of the mirror a bit more before hitting the road.

Privacy threat: another PC missing with VA data
Apparently, the Veterans Administration doesn't get it. In May, the VA reported that a laptop, containing personal information on 26.5 million individuals was stolen from a VA employee's home. That laptop has since been recovered and the thieves arrested.
But now desktop computer, containing personal information on an estimated 36,000 individuals, is missing from a VA subcontractor, Unisys. Unisys notified VA last week.
According to Computerworld, "the desktop computer may have contained patients' names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, insurance carriers and billing information, dates of military service, as well as claims data that may include some medical information."
After the May incident involving the stolen laptop, VA officials testified before Congress several times concerning plans to revamp security as part of an agency-wide reorganization of its distributed IT environment. But apparently, VA is not moving fast enough.
I'm not privvy to what work Unisys was doing with the personal data, but it is hard to believe there was no way that some of that data couldn't have been de-personalized. For example, did Unisys really need to have the actual social security numbers of those individuals?
One solution: the VA needs a sensible data classification policy, or if it does have one, it needs to be enforced.

IBM compromising its partner strategy with bid for MRO Software
IBM has reached agreement with MRO Software to acquire this vendor of enterprise asset management systems. The deal is for $740 million. IBM plans to incorporate MRO's products into its Tivoli systems management software.
While IBM's Tivoli products current provide asset management functionality for IT assets, MRO's functionality embraces all assets of the enterprise, including IT. In fact, MRO could be considered one of the leaders in EAM systems, if not the leader.
Its Maximo product line targets manufacturers, utilities, government, universities, and hospitality industries, among others. It is strong in advanced planning and scheduling for maintenance activities, and it accommodates complex condition-based preventative maintenance planning. It even has its own e-procurement solution and plays well with various online marketplaces for maintenance, repair, and operating supplies.
MRO's strategy in the past has been to partner with major ERP vendors to provide integration with financials and other back-office systems. This works well with IBM's strategy of providing consulting and implementation services across a wide range of technology providers.
Still, one must ask, does the acquisition of MRO Software represent a shift in IBM's strategy of not competing with its independent software vendor (ISV) partners? Yes, software sales are the most profitable segment of IBM's business these days. But, over the past decade, IBM's strategy has been to provide infrastructure software, such as databases and development tools to its ISV partners and also to provide implementation and integration services to customers of those ISVs. It avoided competing head-to-head with those ISVs for their core business. IBM has is doing a lot of acquisitions these days, but to my knowledge, this is its first major bid for a true business application vendor.
By own suspicion is that this is not a change of direction for IBM, but an exception. MRO was available, the technology match was good. Unfortunately, however, MRO comes with a lot more than is needed to fill out Tivoli's product lines. I'm guessing that IBM just compromised a bit with its partner strategy.
The test will come when IBM starts going up against SAP or Oracle for major EAM sales.

Fusion to build on Oracle's E-Business Suite
It's now clear that Oracle's next generation application suite, dubbed Fusion, will be built on Oracle's flagship E-Business Suite (EBS) data model and business rules. Where Oracle does not have functionality that exists in JDE or PeopleSoft, Oracle will treat these as new requirements for Fusion. But in satisfying those requirements, there is no guarantee that the business process flow of Fusion will match that of today's JDE or PeopleSoft.
Oracle is not saying any of this publicly, not wanting to commit to this direction, but in response to questions along this line it is pointing to a Gartner report that says basically what I've stated in the first paragraph.
The implications for J.D. Edwards and PeopleSoft users are important. While Oracle has promised "lifetime support" for JDE and PeopleSoft products, it is not promising to continue to enhance these products as the rate it is doing so today. Essentially, this means that if JDE or PeopleSoft customers want to upgrade, at some point, they will be looking at a migration to Fusion. The fact that there will not be a merging of code from JDE and PeopleSoft into Fusion means that customers will need to evaluate Fusion just as they would a completely new ERP system.
In other words, for Oracle users, a move to Fusion will be like a major upgrade. For JDE and PeopleSoft users, it will be a completely new package.
The implications for prospects considering a new ERP system are also clear. In my opinion, there are very few, if any, cases where a company should consider JDE or PeopleSoft, knowing that these products are slated for retirement. Lifetime support is a good insurance policy for existing JDE and PeopleSoft customers--those that have already made their investment in these systems. But why would a company, not yet committed, make an investment in products that are not the basis for Fusion? As one CIO told me recently, it would be like making a strategic decision today to buy IBM's Informix database. Sure, IBM still supports Informix, but that's not where it's making its major investments.
The JDE resellers may argue. But the fact is that many of them are already selling EBS along with JDE or are planning to do so. There will be a lot of work going forward to support JDE customers--even more work, perhaps, to support those that want to migrate to Fusion. But I expect that new sales for JDE are already tapering off and the resellers know this.
Do you have a different opinion? Leave a comment on this post or email me.

'Pacific Northwest Inlander' Finds New Home, Editor
By: Nu Yang
After signing rent checks for 19 years, Pacific Northwest Inlander publisher Ted McGregor decided it was time to build the free alternative weekly newspaper its own headquarters. Located in Spokane, Wash., the Inlander was founded in 1993 by McGregor and his family. The paper is published every Thursday and available in more than 1,000 locations and online at inlander.com.
McGregor said he started looking for a new home for the paper about three years ago. He checked out existing buildings but realized he would rather buy a piece of land and build on it. Construction on the 13,000-square-foot building in downtown Spokane has already begun, and McGregor said he hopes to move in by February 2013. The project will cost about $1.3 million.
The plans for the new building maintain the traditional "wall" between business and editorial departments. The first floor will house operations, circulation, and design, while the sales team will work on the second floor, and the third floor will hold the newsroom. About 1,800 square feet of the space will be leased.
McGregor said the paper's new home shows the community that it is "an institution that's not going anywhere.
"I also wanted to create an environment for the staff to succeed and that can attract good people to help us move forward," he said.
Promoting Jacob Fries to editor was another step in that direction. McGregor previously held the title before handing over the reins to Fries in June. Fries joined the paper in 2008 and served as a news editor and managing editor. He is a Spokane native who has worked at The New York Times and the Tampa Bay Times (formerly the St. Petersburg Times).
Despite his background in daily publications, Fries said working at a weekly in his hometown was a chance "to do good journalism from the place I came from."
McGregor said he sees a bright future for the paper, and his goal is to continue to produce high-quality journalism and invest in small businesses, because "staying local has helped me thrive."
Fries said the Inlander is no longer viewed as just a supplement for the daily paper. "We're the scrappy paper that has surprised people."

Microsoft's Windows 8 app store has yet to be a juggernaut of variety and applications. We had previously heard that the company mentioned this holiday season as a goal date to bring a majority of popular apps to the platform. Yesterday at Build 2013 in San Francisco, Microsoft's loveable CEO Steve Ballmer stated that Facebook, Flipboard, and NFL apps will be arriving soon.
The statement "soon" could mean anything from the next few weeks to the next few months, so we don't suggest holding you breathe for the apps to show up in the Windows Store. Beyond Steve Ballmer's quick statement at the Build event, no further information about these applications are available.
For the latest information on Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system and forthcoming apps, stay tuned to Windows Phone Central.

MeritBadgeDotOrg:Site support
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Many people have asked how they can support MeritBadge.com. Well let me make one thing perfectly clear...
I do not accept monetary donations. My work on this web site is my gift to Scouting. I'm just like any other Scouter -- I have to pay. I have a full time "day" job and I make a decent salary which I am more than happy to invest in Scouting. Besides, most of the cost of running this site is blood, sweat, and tears. Those are hard things to compensate for with money. (Note: If you're wealthy and you want to give me enough so I can quit my day job and do this full time, I might be persuaded to change my mind.)
Here are several ways you can help me:
(1) Materials -- Many troops have old merit badge pamphlets and advancement materials they don't need anymore. I hope to develop an historical section and these types of materials would be very helpful. Send them to this address:
- Michael Kauffmann
- 148 South Wilson St
- Villa Rica, GA 30180
(2) Content -- I did not think up all the stuff on this site. You may find I started most of the pages and I've done a gazillion edits but many of the ideas you see here orginated from people just like you. I do not pretend to be the be all, end all of Scouting and this site will never reach its potential unless others put some serious time and effort into it.
(3) I'm thinking on it...

RichGurfein needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 39 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Our company designs and hosts web site for lawyers and others. I'm looking for a simple logo that relates to the internet and the law
Our web site is ancient. I need to redo it and haven't gotten past the logo at the top. I'd like a logo that simply conveys our goal of produce modern, cost effective, search engine optimized web sites for lawyers and others (some real estate types, etc).
Our name comes from a slang expression for the name of the assignment part of the court, "Trial Term Part I". Trial1 has a familiar ring for lawyers.
- My logo should probably have some relation to court or trial or courtroom or scales of justice or gavel. I'm very open to suggestion.
- Not too much clutter. I want it simple

|Fraggle Rock
|Air Date
|March 21, 1983
|Written by
|David Young
|Jim Henson
It's been two weeks since Uncle Matt's last postcard, and it's Gobo's responsibility to go out into Outer Space and rescue his uncle. He's terrified of going, and even Marjory the Trash Heap advises against it, but all of his friends expect him to go, and he's too proud to back out.
Meanwhile, Doc invents a Lightning Deflector for Sprocket in order to go for a walk in a thunderstorm.
Fraggle Facts
This episode reveals that Fraggles can catch such human diseases as Influenza, which is mentioned twice in this episode -- first by the Trash Heap, who casually attempts to soothe Gobo's fears as to the fate of his uncle by stating that "he may only have the flu." When Gobo finally does get his uncle's postcard, it turns out that Marjory was right -- Matt did catch and was recovering from the flu. Apparently, Influenza to a Fraggle is only about as serious as the common cold.
- The costume that Gobo wears at the end of this episode is currently on display at the 30th Anniversary boutique at FAO Schwarz.
International versions
- French version: Worried by news of an energy crisis, Doc saddles Croquette one of Uncle Georges' gadgets, to act as a moving target and collect and utilize natural energy. Croquette's fears are only exacerbated by this. While Doc monitors the energy on a panel, he removes the lightning hat and sneaks back in. When the lightning rod is struck by lightning, Doc is shaken, and realizes that his dog is more important than an energy rate hike. Meanwhile, Uncle Matt rides atop of an automobile, noticing the French signs and motorists' reactions to lights and each other.

This page has a Gryffindor infobox, but as far as I know we've never found out what House Moody was in. Akwdb 01:56, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- Good point. I'll change it to a neutral character infobox. - Cavalier One 12:44, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Just make it an Order of the Phoenix Infobox, since thats what he's most associated with.--Jj7362 22:12, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
I was trying to reference parts of this article to one of the books, but I seem to be doing something wrong. Could someone tell me how to do it? Thanks very much! Iluvgracie129 19:20, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
- Never mind, I figured it out.
Iluvgracie129 19:24, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
In the Appearance section, it says,"with a full nose instead of a piece of it missing." If you look closely, at the top picture it almost looks as if there's a chunk missing. Does anyone else notice this?!?!?--Timbira(Luna Lovegood) 23:33, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I don't seem to understand what you're saying. The article states that a chunk of his nose is missing, not that he has a full nose.--Matoro183 (Talk) 00:31, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
At the picture in his userbox, it looks to me like he as a very sloped nose, possibly a chunk missing.--Timbira(Luna Lovegood) 02:21, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- The actor's appearence does not define the character's appearence. --Matoro183 (Talk) 02:39, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Right. It's a possibility, though. Movie makeup can change an actor's appearance to match the description. You're probably right. I was just asking people if they saw it though. Cheers!Timbira(Luna Lovegood) 03:28, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
spelling correction.
Can we change "it's" to "its" here: "Mad-Eye's magical eye, however, was salvaged by the Death Eaters, and then, following the fall of the Ministry, given to the new head of it's Muggle-Born Registration Commission Head Dolores Umbridge, possibly as a gift." Thanks! 126.96.36.199 08:17, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Yes, you can.--Timbira(Luna Lovegood) 18:40, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Snape wasn't part of the Orginal Order, my cousin says.
- He was. He defected from the Death Eaters before the end of the First Wizarding War and joined the Order. He was not featured on the Original Order's picture because he was working as a spy among the Death Eaters at the time. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 02:31, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
GoF voice
How come in the film GoF he has an accent under the impersonation of Barty Crouch but when the real Moody is found in the trunk he speaks quite posh and old sound. Dumbledore says something like "Are you alright Alastor?" and he replies "I'm sorry Albus", without an accent. Patr0nus ( Expecto Patronum! ) 14:47, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm just speculating, but it may have something to do with Brendan Gleeson's acting. Through out most of the movie Brendan Gleeson may be playing the role of Alastor Moody, but it's more like he's playing Barty Crouch Jr pretending to be Moody, and then when you see the real Moody in the trunk, now he's just Moody being Moody. In book 7 when Fleur has taken the Polyjuice Potion to look like Harry, she still talks with a French accent. --BachLynn23 21:46, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
They never found his body, and it mentions in book 7 when they break into gringotts they saw an old wizard missing and eye, could it be moody? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Harry Potter Fantic 1 (talk • contribs).
- if he alive then he would have recognized harry, ron, hermieone and may question them what were they up to Nishant77 14:49, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
- Not exactly, since they were in disguise, but they would have recognized him. 188.8.131.52 08:33, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
Magical Mastery
If he is magical mastery, that means he is at least an expert in charms, transfiguration, potion making, herbology, defence against dark arts and curses? User:Domynyk 18:36, January 18, 2011, (UTC)
On what can be seen of Moody's Ministry file in DH:P1, it's revealed he never married, and had no children. The words "family alive" and "line" can also be seen but there isn't enough visible to tell their context.
How should this information be incorporated into article? ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 12:03, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
I´d say that this indicates that he has living relatives. (ancestors, sibblings, cousins?) What do you think about creating Alastor Moody's unidentified relatives and Moody family?--Rodolphus 12:09, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
- The problem is that the words preceding the fragment "family alive" aren't visible. It's possible it says "no family alive." There's just not enough visible for us to form any conclusions about his family, other than that he was unmarried and childless. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 13:38, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
Perhaps we can compare it to the other files. Is anything comparable stated on Dumbledore's and Sirius' files? In both cases, it should state family alive. By the way, we don´t have an image of Sirius' file yet.--Rodolphus 13:45, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
- Excuse me, but I do think that image is of Sirius Black's file, but with a separate picture of Moody on top of it. Moody was never (that I can remember) portrayed as having "unnaceptable Pro-Muggle leanings", whereas Sirius would fill the spot nicely (childless, unmarried, pure-blood, and if you notice the tab on the right you can make out "BLACK, S.") However, there's something that doesn't fit: the Security Status says "TRACKED", while we know the Ministry had no idea of his wereabouts prior to his death. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 15:25, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
- It can not be Sirius Black's file. If you compare Sirius Black's file to Alastor Moody's file, you will find that they are different. I will upload a picture of Sirius's file or you to see. —Firefox1095 16:12, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
- The file of Sirius Black is called "Sirius's file.JPG" without the quotation marks. —Firefox1095 16:14, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
- I see. Regardless of being or not being alive, this would be a mention of the Moody family, wouldn't it? Unless it was something like "maternal family alive". Also, how about adding a "Marital status" to the infoboxes, for this kind of situations? -- Seth Cooper owl post! 16:53, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
I agree with both.--Rodolphus 16:54, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with adding a "Marital status" field to infoboxes. But I don't think enough information can be gathered from what's visible of Moody's file — which is definitely not Sirius's file, which mentions he is heir to the House of Black — to form an article about Moody's family. I think too much would be left up to speculation. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 22:04, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
A few of the pictures attached to Moody's time as DADA teacher are actually of Barty Crouch Jr. I was wondering if these pictures should remain where they are or at least have modified descriptions indicating this is someone else in Moody's image? Doctorwho29 20:03, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
moody´s patronus
is likely that the patron's moody take the form of a ram because it is present in his cane and said that jk is the animal that characterizedhis personality.
moody funeral?
the scene where Harry catches the eye was omitted, but we can seein the film the scene where Hermione puts a scarf around a tree to hide ondo the eye was placed in the forest of the Quidditch World Cup soon after Ron go
Date of death
Wasn't Harry removed from Little Whinging on the Saturday before his birthday? Which would be July 26, 1997.
Should this sentence be here?
Based on the fact that he is the only character in the movies that does not have a British, Scottish, or Irish accent, he may be North American.
Haven't looked back through the history to see when it was added and not enough of an expert on accents to tell if it's right or not but three things spring to mind: Firstly, the Behind the Scenes section says he has an Irish accent. Secondly, Scotland is in Britain so listing them separately is incorrect. And thirdly, its current position, in the middle of the in-universe character bio rather than as a Behind the Scenes or footnote, seems rather odd. Should it be removed? Skteosk 18:01, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm removing since Moody wears a kilt during the Yule Ball, a dead give away of Irish/Scottish Hertiage. --KiumaruHamachi 18:06, May 19, 2012 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
Team Fortress 2
In Team Fortress 2, There is an item that is unmistakably modeled after Moody's eye, Should be added to the Trivia section
18.104.22.168 05:33, July 31, 2012 (UTC)
- Well, first of all, if we were to add such a note, it would probably be on the page for his eye, not this page. More importantly, that's not the sort of thing we cover. If it were the opposite way around (something in a Harry Potter work was based off an existing thing), we would cover it (see Demon Box, Ectobuster Vacuum, etc.), but we don't cover things in other works that base something off Harry Potter because there's an umpteenth number of these things. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 05:41, July 31, 2012 (UTC)
His eye
You've said that there's nothing about his eye on the film adaptation of Deathly Hallows (part 1). But, unless I'm wrong, while there is no focus on the eye, at the scene, I do believe that it's still on that door and when Harry leaves Umbridge's room the eye has vanished. It's a simple detail but I don't think that it's accidental.
22.214.171.124 04:16, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
Weight?I saw this picture of Moody's file from the Making of Harry Potter studio tour and I was wondering if we should include his weight and height as it is stated here? (weight being 163 lbs and height being 6ft 2in)Aj25 (talk) 20:31, September 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Done. There's currently no weight field in the infobox, but I mentioned it in BTS. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 21:41, September 15, 2012 (UTC)
It says that he was born on the 1/2/04 so the first of February 1904. He died on the 27th of July 1997. He would of been 93 years, 5 months and 25 days when he died! Rounded to 93 and a half. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs).
- From whence are you getting this date of birth? His file? Did you translate it, perhaps, from whatever numeric system it's written in? -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 17:50, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
- If you did translate it, you must be pretty good at understanding that sort of things, because all I could understand was circles and arrows. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 18:36, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, I for my part do believe it is a font on Mycrosoft Word with those symbols. Or - one you can download at least.
- - User:Simen Johannes Fagerli.
- That seems quite likely ... you wouldn't by any chance know which one, would you? I know for fact it isn't any of the Wingdings, but I have no clue beyond that. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 14:11, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
House, Part ... 39, I think?
So, there's been a lot of discussion about Moody's house at Hogwarts, which the Ministry didn't know. He's got cunning and resourcefulness in using the seven Harrys strategy (which admittedly was Dumbledore's idea), ambition and power in being the best Auror the Ministry's seen for ages, leadership qualities and fraternity as demonstrated by his being in charge of Advance Guard leading Harry out of Privet Drive both times. He essentially encapsulates all the qualities of Slytherin (and admittedly Gryffindor, too, but the Pottermore message mentioned (if I recall correctly) that the two houses are more similar than most like to admit). Besides that, though, the Wizard's Challenge lists him along with a bunch of other Slytherins, asking who built the Chamber of Secrets. Perhaps I'm looking too deeply into this, but is this any indication that he might have been in Slytherin? I know it wouldn't be able to go into the article, but even just for personal confirmation or lack thereof. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 02:36, November 15, 2013 (UTC)
According to the characteristics, Mad Eye was most likely to be a Gryffindor or a Ravenclaw. If I were given the opinion to choose, I would go with Gryffindor, because he was the leader of the Order of The Phoenix in later years. The leadership chivalry has been a treasured history of Gryffindors, and the boldness with which Moody had a command on the Order explains so. Therefore, Mad Eye Alastor Moody, would be a Gryffindor.Angie Taisho (talk) 03:26, June 8, 2017 (UTC)Angie
Main image
The current image of him looking upwards is not very good...just saying, there's way better ones. 23:11, December 24, 2013 (UTC)
- Care to suggest something better, then? Please note that, by our policies, the image must come from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 rather than an older film. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 21:24, December 24, 2013 (UTC)
- I would agree with OWL. I'd like to propose this picture. It's from Deathly Hallows: Part 1; as far as quality is concerned, it's almost the same as the current picture; and it features Moody's face in full (front-facing), which is preferrable. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 23:16, December 24, 2013 (UTC)
- I'd be fine with this image. If I had a complaint, it's a little dark, but given that all of Moody's scenes take place at night there's not much to be done about that. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 23:20, December 24, 2013 (UTC)
- I agree. If it has to be from the last film he appears in, I do think that'd be best ... the current one looks rather ridiculous, no offence, IMO. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:14, December 25, 2013 (UTC)
- I've fidgeted with the colour saturation and contrast of the picture, and I think I've made it less dark. Anyway, seeing that there are three (four if one can count with OWL, which I am not entirely sure) votes against the current picture, I've gone ahead and changed it, for you to see how it looks on the infobox -- if there are people who disagree, then I shall put it back. What do you think? -- Seth Cooper owl post! 03:09, December 25, 2013 (UTC)
Could anyone give me a source of the sentence, "Moody's ability to switch from offence to defence made him a formidable opponent." in Magical abilities and skills section, please?--ホチ (talk) 13:51, April 12, 2016 (UTC)
Magic can't heal everything
Well, did they explain in any moment if Moody eye and leg are like that because he wanted, because a dark curse or mainly because magic can't just create a new leg and eye and give it to him? I mean, they can turn a mouse in a cup, summon a snake from nothing but they seem to be unable to make a leg and a eye? Setokayba (talk) 20:48, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
Hmmm… Not sure about the leg, though possibly it was cut off before the magical cures were developped. As for the eye, regarldess of whether he could replace it with a real eye, I do think getting the benefits of that all-seeing eye is worth not getting your normal eye back, especially to an Auror like Moody. Scrooge MacDuck (talk) 20:51, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
Well, we know that Voldemort managed to give to Pettigrew a replacement for his hand, not sure how that works but if it's not a very dark secret, they could do the same with Alastor foot, as it could give some agility instead of using what he was using Setokayba (talk) 00:05, November 27, 2016 (UTC)

Those stockings aren't going to stuff themselves, everybody! While you may wish you could rely on Santa to get the job done, sometimes you have to take care of Christmas business yourself. Stocking stuffers should be small gifts, nothing that's going to break the bank because you've got an entire sock to fill up before the kids wake up the next morning.
Inexpensive, however, does not mean cheap. There are super fun stocking stuffers you can buy for under $10 that will last longer than the trip to the 99-cent store. Which is also what you were thinking of doing at the last minute, right?
Here are 10 fabulous stocking stuffers for kids, $10 and under.
Whether you favor Little Miss Sunshine or Mr. Happy, you can grab a couple of the books from this series since they're only $3.99 apiece.
Iwako Sushi on Cutting Board Novelty Eraser Set
For your hip kids, pack sushi in their stocking and they can also impress their friends when they pull out one of these six erasers ($5.75) during a test.
Recommended by the Toy Guy himself, Ickee Stickeez ($1.25) are oogy, sticky, hilarious fun in a ball. You can slip one in the stocking or collect 24 to create an Ikee Stickeez habitat.
Smurfette Eau de Toilette Spray
Let's assume you already got The Smurfs movie and Smurfs Christmas Carol on Blu-ray (you did, right?). Then your little fan of blue is going to want to take it all the way with Smurfette Eau de Toilette ($9.99). The boys have their own Papa Smurf cologne as well. Seriously.
As long as you enforce a "not on mommy's face" rule, these lasers on fingers are sure to keep your kids entertained for hours. Plus, you get 4 for $3.68. Nice.
Using all natural materials, these crayon rocks ($5.50) come in nine colors for a rainbow of fun.
In case your kids aren't addicted yet to this steel-ball center racing game, you can give them a two-pack of DaGeDar balls for only $9.04. Another recommendation of TimetoPlayMag.com's Toy Guy, of course they'll be begging for more and more tracks. Let's hope Santa also provided those.
Automoblox Mini C9-p Sportscar
Automoblox makes a smooth sports car, and this mini ($9.99) in a variety of colors is the perfect fancy car toy for the discerning kid on your Santa's list.
Your kids will also want to jump into the bath when they find a splash pop sponge ($6.95) stuffed up in their stocking. That's what you call a bonus gift!
Now your kids can learn chess on the go with this magnetic chess set ($5.97). And fewer tiny pieces rolling under the furniture!
What are your favorite stocking stuffers that don't break the bank?

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Ramadan Shalah, the head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization, chastised fellow Arabs, and especially fellow Palestinians, for failing to love Jerusalem as much as the Jews do.
An audio recording of Shalah addressing a clerical conference in Tehran was obtained by Israel's Army Radio. In the clip, the terror leader is distraught over the seeming lack of Arab seriousness in regards to Jerusalem, while for the Jews, the Holy City is there heart and soul.
"What is the meaning of Jerusalem for us?" Shalah asked. "Learn from the Jews, from that accursed entity [Israel]. They love Jerusalem not just as a military matter, but as a cultural one."
As evidence of this, Shalah extensively referenced Naomi Shemer's world-famous song "Jerusalem of Gold."
"Every Israeli child and every accursed Israeli soldier says this song in their heart," the upset killer of men, women and children informed his audience.

These two handsome gentlemen are Harry Kunze, on the left, and Martin Quinn (Uncle Marty), on the right. They were my great-grandmother Molly Quinn's brother (Marty) and brother-in-law (Harry). Harry was married to Molly's younger sister Helen Quinn. Marty married Elizabeth "Bobbie" Byrnes. My sources (aka my great-uncle, Molly's son) tell me that this picture "was probably taken on Rockaway Beach or some other local beach" - local being local to the NYC area. He estimated it was taken around 1925, which would make Harry Kunze about 26, and Marty about 23. Based on the information they gave in the 1930 census, Harry and Helen would have been married for about a year.
Of course, my favorite part of this picture is the swimsuits themselves! How cool!

As a gay, suburban mid-twentysomething who still gets carded at R-rated movies, "Out in the Burbs" was aimed right at me. It addressed all my concerns about "Driving Miss Dalia" with a pointed take on suburban discontent, a nicely balanced cast, and a whole lot of funny. And Dan Byrd showed up to play 21 Jump Street in an Easy A-adjacent subplot and to make us all sad about Cougar Town. I don't think you have to be me to see how solid "Out in the Burbs" is, but it had me at hello. I mean, when the main plot opens with a slow, casual push on Byrd as he wheels around in Mr. Wolfe's office seriously straight-faced to some Casio-sounding score, it's obvious we're in for some fun.
That said, I don't see the formal unity of last week's outing. For every hilarious flourish, like the soul music and dolly zoom on Lisa as she falls in love at first sight with Josh, there was an unmotivated distraction, like the regular zoom on Lisa pointing out how gay their cafeteria meat-carver is. That was like something out of Spaced but without the motivating purpose. The one-two punch of locker shots, the sushi-tray-cam, all those overhead establishing shots . . . we're way past establishing Chatswin's weirdness. This is just excessive.
But like I said, it's a distraction, not a dealbreaker, from Bob Kushell's strong midseason script, which is basically two parallel whoopee cushions inflated by assumptions that wring every possible double-entendre out of the story and then fart their way into teaching our heroes humility—jokes AND morals! Most significantly "Out in the Burbs" proves Suburgatory is interested in suburban facades after all. Director Elliot Hegarty could hardly move the camera without accidentally bumping into some sight gag like the plastic surgery luncheon or a supermarket gossip or the tennis twins a married man is ogling. Maybe if I wasn't so sick I'd have realized last week that the pilot is full of emasculation and repressed gay men and that none of the show's marriages are especially fulfilling. Suburgatory is certainly about Tessa and George coming to appreciate the suburbs, but it's also about the rot underneath causing geysers in extravagantly manicured lawns. As "Out in the Burbs" shows, Tessa may be falling for her community but she's also going to influence it for the better. This is not a one-way street.
Cleverly, Kushell lets Tessa stumble—or more accurately fall ass-backwards—into her humanitarian role. This is still a coming-of-age, after all. She does help Mr. Wolfe come out, but to get there she plays busybody to a new gay friend, she assumes Mr. Wolfe's gay and asks him about coming out, and accidentally tips off a narc to the steroid-using quarterback. Say what you will about the value of her actions, but she's driving blind. It's a nice antidote to the sometimes Mary Sue-ishness of our too-cool-for-school heroine. She still has plenty of growing up to do, and Jane Levy is knocking it out of the park. Kushell does hit the afterschool quality pretty hard with a whole scene dedicated to Tessa talking about the dangers of jumping to conclusions, but Suburgatory is still figuring itself out.
Somehow George spent all episode trading accidental sex jokes with Dallas and nothing was as steamy as the pair just sitting together in silence last week. But it was plenty funny—I loved when we walked in on Dallas giving her "Up against the wall" speech for the second time—and at the end, George had to face the idea that he may not be as averse to romancing Dallas as he protested, a strong moment for Sisto.
In fact, the whole cast get to shine here, not least Mr. Wolfe telling that story about his "gf" and Lisa going butch to win over presumably gay Josh ("I can turn him. I am ballsy enough to try"). Alan Tudyk—apparently his character is named Noah but I still think of him as Alan Tudyk—is in and out with this perfectly played monologue about his marriage: "Sounds like my wife, hahaha, just kidding, Jill looks great, for a woman in her 40s, hahaha just joking, I married too young, hahaha, stop me." Dalia shows up sporadically 1) to illustrate how outwitting people like her doesn't defeat them and 2) to publicly stand up for laxative use. Ryan returns just to film himself dancing shirtlessly in front of his locker, lined with a full-length upper body picture of himself, and later to howl and engage in more thematically consistent dancing rituals around the affirmation, "You're the man!" And the Shays crop up periodically just to be funny and play nosy neighbors. I miss Malik and Yakult, but as long as we're balancing this many people, "Out in the Burbs" is a terrific template.
Stray observations:
- Loved Jane Levy's delivery of "Fabulous!" and everything about Dan Byrd's performance, from the straight-faced early stuff to the big, comic thumbs-up he throws her at the end as he's straddling some dude, still unaware of her misperceptions.
- I'm still laughing about that picture of Mr. Wolf's gf Heidi: she's on some guy's arm, Rex lee's in the background, and it's cropped to just the two of them.
- Apparently, Suburgatory agrees with Happy Endings that V-neck T-shirts are gay. I had no idea.
- "Look at the way she's eating that banana." "That's the way she eats everything."
- I can't believe Lisa went online to find computer-generated images of her future progeny with Josh, and they didn't even namecheck Mommy What Will I Look Like?

The FBI and the US Attorney's Office are currently conducting a wide ranging investigation and several subpoenas have already been filed against executives suspected of shady trading practices.
The charges center on TSMC's business development manager Manosha Kaurnatilaka, who allegedly provided confidential information to Primary Global Research, which distributed the confidential information to investors. Kaurnatilaka received $35,000 in return for his services. According to Reuters, Kaurnatilaka was contacted by the FBI a few months ago and asked to cooperate in the investigation.
The investigation also implicated former AMD supply chain manager Mark Anthony Longoria. US Attorney's Office claims Longoria distributed confidential AMD information to Primary Global Research, including revenues, ASP's, sales figures and gross margin information. Longoria cashed in $200,000 for the effort.
Flextronics business development Director Walter Shimoon and Primary Global Research executive James Fleishman were also charged for their involvement. Fleishman was arrested on fraud and conspiracy charges.
"This wasn't market research," said FBI investigator Janice Fedarcyk . "What the defendants did was purchase and sell insider information. Our investigation is most assuredly continuing."
TSMC has already sacked Kaurnatilaka, while Longoria resigned from AMD in late October.

Pied Oystercatchers
Pied Oystercatchers (Haematopus longirostris) are a common sight around the bay. Sometimes I even see flocks of a dozen or so roosting together. However, pairs of Pied Oystercatchers stay in the same territory year after year and these ones are decreasing. The pair I photographed for this post have a permanent territory around the Mullens shorebird roost.

Oystercatchers are great birds – just come back from some time at the coast, and I saw them every day. That's rather special for us suburban types!
Cheers - Stewart M - Australia
Hi there - that wing up pose is very similar to the one in my picture. I wonder if it means something in 'oystercatcher'.ReplyDelete

As some of you know, about three years ago BP Castrol TWS Motorsport was discontinued and replaced with a formulation dubbed Castrol TWS Edge (Professional). Although initially upsetting, according to my research the two were similar, so I moved on.
I've been using Castrol TWS Motorsport and then TWS Edge Professional on all my BMWs since I acquired the Z8. Went to my local dealer yesterday (09/03/2014) to buy TWS oil for one of the cars (not the Z8) and the parts guy said that this was last of it. What????? Apparently, BMW and BP Castrol have parted ways and Shell will be providing BMW oils going forward. Shell, are you kidding me? I won't put their lousy fuel in my tank and now I have to trust them for the oil in my engine? WTF, is BMW thinking. Obviously, now I'm really upset.
This is but one of many Internet threads http://www.e46fanatics.com/forum/sho....php?t=1034832 on the subject.
Has anyone else heard of this?

Robi Mandell of Utah, who has multiple sclerosis and lupus, argued with security to allow her to walk through a metal detector but was told to stay in her wheelchair.
DAYTONA BEACH — A few weeks ago, Robi and Mike Mandell were in the final hours of a dream vacation to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary as they made their way through Daytona Beach International Airport to fly home to Utah.
They were still floating on their memories of a seven-day cruise when their vacation glow came to an abrupt halt.
Robi Mandell, who has multiple sclerosis and lupus, suddenly found herself arguing with a trio of Transportation Security Administration workers. For 20 minutes, she said they repeatedly told her she couldn't get out of her wheelchair and walk through the metal detector – even though she told them several times she was capable of doing that with a cane.
"I've never in my life been spoken to as indignantly and rudely as I was that day," the 57-year-old Mandell recalled in a phone interview from her home near Ogden.
Mandell shared an email that she received May 13 from an official with the TSA, the federal agency that has focused on aviation security since it was formed after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
"I have spoken with individuals at (Daytona Beach International Airport) who are familiar with your screening experience," wrote Zach Bromer, an official with TSA's Disability Branch in Virginia. "They have explained to me that (Daytona Beach airport) management is aware that your screening was not handled as sensitively as it could have been. They have already taken corrective action with the transportation security officers that you mentioned in your complaint, providing them with additional training on screening passengers with disabilities."
Reached by phone, Bromer said he couldn't comment. But TSA spokeswoman Sari Koshetz said several TSA and Daytona airport officials have spoken with Mandell, including those who deal with disabilities.
"TSA works regularly with a broad coalition of advocacy groups representing passengers with disabilities and medical conditions to better understand their needs and to incorporate their suggestions into our protocols and training," said Koshetz, who's based in Virginia.
In his email, Bromer said the airport has also provided further training to all of its security officers on screening passengers with disabilities. He asked Mandell to write back and tell him if those actions resolved her complaint.
They did not.
Mandell said she could probably let it go if the agency paid for the couple to re-do the same trip they just took from Utah to Florida and then on the seven-day cruise to the Bahamas, St. Thomas and St. Martin. But she said agency officials didn't respond to her request.
Mandell, who lived in Central Florida for five years in the 1980s, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 22 years ago. Those with the condition often struggle with fatigue, numbness, walking and balance problems, vision difficulties, dizziness and pain.
Six years ago, Mandell was diagnosed with also having lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease. People with lupus can suffer pain, inflammation and damage to various parts of the body. The mother of two said she has frequent pain, can't stand for any length of time and can't walk more than about 10 feet at a time.
When she was at Daytona's airport last month, she knew there would be more walking than she could handle, so she used an airport wheelchair pushed by an airport employee. At the security checkpoint, she said she was about to get up when a male TSA worker told her she couldn't. She said he stood right in front of her and continued to tell her she needed to remain seated every time she asked to get up, or tried.
She was then wheeled over to a female TSA worker who said she was going to do a thorough pat down instead, and Mandell protested, saying she just wanted to walk through the scanning machine like anyone else. Mandell said she also tried to explain to the woman that it was impossible for her to stand unaided with her arms and legs spread.
The two argued back and forth, and Mandell said the woman touched her with a latex glove and didn't give Mandell a chance to say she was allergic to that material.
"I was now in tears," she recalled. "I was shaking so much I could feel my heart beating too fast and my medication was with my husband as he had all our things. I asked for it and was told I could not have it until I was cleared by security. I needed my inhaler and was forbidden to get it. That made it all worse."
Mandell said she repeatedly asked to talk to a supervisor, and eventually a superior TSA worker got involved and Mandell was allowed to walk through the metal detector.
Daytona Beach International Airport Director Rick Karl said he was dismayed to hear Mandell's complaint, saying, "TSA has a great reputation here for being friendly" and "we pride ourselves on taking great care of every passenger who comes through here."
But U.S. Rep. John Mica, whose district includes part of Volusia County, said he wasn't shocked by Mandell's story.
"Unfortunately it's typical of what happens almost every day," charged Mica. "They're harassing innocent people and not focusing on their central mission of protecting people."

NILES, Ill., May 1, 2013 — WFMT Chicago is a unique radio station that is dedicated to classical music and fine arts programming, yet operates on a commercial basis. "We're sort of a hybrid radio station, commercially licensed and owned by a not-for profit. What sets us apart from any other station in the country is the amount of live remote broadcasts that we do," says WFMT Director of Operations Don Mueller. "We had 30 live broadcasts from different venues across the city in April alone."
To maintain the high quality standards necessary for effective fine arts broadcasting, WFMT relies heavily on Shure microphones and wireless technology. "Shure is actually a core part of our sound," says Mueller. "We use the SM81 as our announcer microphones. It's a natural presentation, like listening to the announcer face-to-face. It doesn't sound hyped. We settled on the SM81 years ago, specifically because it has such a great ability to accurately reproduce the human voice."
One new weapon WFMT has added to its arsenal is the Shure PSM 1000 personal monitoring system. "We've used in-ear monitoring for artists, of course, which is what the system is designed for," Mueller notes. "But where it has really helped is with our reporters at events like the Grant Park Music Festival in the summer. They use wireless microphones – Shure Beta 87 UHF transmitters – to interview people during intermissions, and use the PSM 1000 as a wireless headphone to monitor the program feed, live on the air. They have been totally flawless, even running outdoors at Millennium Park in downtown Chicago. And the fidelity is incredible."
Similarly, WFMT uses the PSM 1000 in the studio as well. During pledge drives, broadcast live from the station's Fay and Daniel Levin Studio, a phone bank manned by volunteers is set up to accept pledges from listeners. A moderator roams the phone room doing interviews, and wears a PSM 1000 system to hear what's going on in the main control room.
According to Don Mueller, before acquiring the PSM 1000, the station's reporters used wireless microphones, but were tethered to wired headphones. "Frankly, now that we have the PSM 1000, I don't know how we ever managed without it, being locked into using curly cables plugged into headphone jacks," he says. "The system has expanded our functionality and made the ease of operation a lot greater."
For its part, Shure is an active supporter of WFMT. "Shure is a great corporate partner for us," says Mueller. "What we really value is their expertise. They have applications engineers on staff who are a huge help to us, recommending solutions that help us provide a much better broadcast for our listening audience."
With a schedule of live and taped symphony concerts, opera grand drama, jazz, and folk captured at venues ranging from Lyric Opera and Old Town School of Folk Music to the Chicago Cultural Center, Ravinia Festival, and beyond, WFMT is truly in the forefront of the area's cultural landscape. "There is so much happening in the Chicago area, we cannot hope to broadcast it all," says Don Mueller. "But with the support we get from partners like Shure, we do more, and do it better than ever before."

QUEENSTOWN, NEW ZEALAND (July 27, 2008) — Hundreds of snowboarders flocked to The Remarkables in New Zealand this weekend to celebrate the opening of Burton's newest location of The Stash®. Over 20 of Burton's regional and international riders, including Keegan Valaika, Mikell Bang, Robett Hollis, Nick Brown, Juliane Bray and Shelly Gotlieb, came out to christen The Stash alongside the shredding public at Saturday's grand opening event.
Greeting riders at the entrance to The Stash are two giant stone Keas, a parrot indigenous to the region and notorious for wreaking havoc. A variety of potential lines lie beyond, including features such as rock wall-rides, log jibs, cliff drops and even a jibbable stone hut. The park is truly unlike any other out there, stashed high in the mountains above the tree line.
"The Stash in New Zealand paves the way for a new style of Stash that plays off of the rock and stone landscape, said Jeff Boliba, Global Resort Director at Burton. "The unique features and layout will stoke out riders from around the globe."
Created by Jake Burton and the Burton team riders, The Stash is an evolution of freestyle terrain in the ultimate natural environment. The kilometer long run provides riders with an organic, big mountain terrain park that follows the natural lines of the mountain.
"No two runs on The Stash are the same, every time you drop in you get a completely new riding experience," says Boliba. "Jake and our team developed The Stash with The Remarkables because we have always shared the common goal of taking snowboarding to the next level."
Ross Lawrence, Ski Area Manager for The Remarkables had this to say, "Our well developed park system has already made The Remarkables a firm favorite with snowboarders, and the addition of The Stash will only make us more of a destination for snowboarders worldwide."
The Stash at The Remarkables is only the third run of its kind worldwide and the first in the Southern Hemisphere. Located in the bowls of Serpentine and the Galleries trails, The Stash is aimed at intermediate and advanced riders. The Stash can also be found in Avoriaz, France and Northstar-at-Tahoe, USA.

The most famous Oxygen Mask I own is the Bliss triple oxygen facial mask which is lovely. I had to buy this Missha (Korean brand!) Super Aqua Detox Enzyme mask because it also works on the technology of 'oxygen' to cleanse the skin.
This mask, like the Bliss Triple Oxygen, also bubbles up slightly on the skin and leaves the complexion brighter and detoxed. At around £10 on eBay including shipping, it's more affordable that the Bliss mask.
In it's packaging:
I am really liking Missha at the moment, although it's not my favourite Korean brand (which is Skinfood followed by Etude House).
Super Aqua mask is like a thick mousse with a dense texture. It's white with yellow beads in it which is supposed to be the enzymes. It is also soothing and hydrating, as well as brightening.
To use, wash your face first and dry. Then apply the mask, making sure that you massage it so the capsules break. Then, leave for 3-5 minutes as the formula bubbles up, and rinse off. The mask tingles and tickles without stinging when it's on the skin.
To demonstrate how brightening the formula is:
I do really like this face mask because it's very brightening on the skin and it's unusual!
It's got a weird texture and I can't really compare it to the Bliss Triple Oxygen too much because that one is really light, it just bubbles immediately on your skin until it turns into a light foam.
This one requires more work in the application and I think it works better in the skin brightening department, however, this one tingles more (not great for sensitive ladies). It doesn't foam as much as the Bliss mask either.
This mask doesn't dry, and you just rinse off when you're done. It's a quick treatment which I like!
I really like this face mask! It's affordable and there's a really noticeable difference on the skin afterwards. Highly recommended!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. actor Meshach Taylor, best known for his role as the affable assistant on the hit television show "Designing Women," has died at age 67, his agent said on Sunday.
Taylor died on Saturday at his home near Los Angeles after an 18-month battle with colorectal cancer that had spread to his liver, agent Dede Binder told Reuters.
"He fought valiantly and died surrounded by his loving family," she said.
On Friday, Taylor's family posted on his Facebook page that he had begun to slip away.
"It is with love and gratitude that we sorrowfully announce that our darling, amazingly brilliant and dynamic Meshach, the incredible father, husband, son and friend has begun his grand transition," the statement said.
Taylor's portrayal of Anthony Bouvier on the sitcom "Designing Women," which ran from 1986 to 1993 and starred Annie Potts and Delta Burke, earned him rave reviews for his demeanor and comic timing as he sparred with four Southern interior decorators.
Taylor also starred in the 1987 movie "Mannequin" and appeared in other television shows, including "Dave's World," "The Incredible Hulk" and "ALF."
His survivors include his wife of 30 years, four children and his 100-year-old mother, Binder said.

Last month after presenting my talk on Copyright Issues for 21st Century Genealogists for the Clark County Nevada Genealogical Society, I received an email from a member who had attending asking a question to which I had no simple answer. I am going to present the question here in his words, with his permission, and we both welcome opinions and discussion from all of you.
So the question is….
I have a real life question on copyright as it applies to photographs.
During a recent vacation, I handed my camera to a random gentleman whom I asked to take my photo. The photo he took with my camera is SUPERB!!! The question is…Who owns the copyright? I have the only .jpg file of the photo, yet someone (whom I cannot identify) took the photo. If he is the copyright owner, I cannot enter the photo in any contest or publish it in a book of my photos. (G. Shull)
Watch the blog next week for the conclusion Gary reached. Will it agree with yours?
