A virtual band was in the Guinness Book of World Records for the "Most Successful Artists in the UK Ringtone Charts"!
Yep, the band is called Gorillaz with a total of 4 band members and have been a band for 14 years. The band was made by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett in 1998.
Gorillaz is technically a band made of real people who make the music and do voice-overs for the actual band members but the band is mostly represented by the four virtual band members: 2-D (Stuart Pot), Murdoc Niccals, Noodle, and Russel Hobbs.
In 2006, the band was in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the "Most Successful Artists in the UK Ringtone Charts" but have also been in the book as the "Most Successful Virtual Band" which goes without a doubt.
Their first two albums, Gorillaz and Demon Days, combined sales exceeded 15 million copies in 2007. Not only have they been in the Guinness Book of World Records multiple times, but they have also won many other awards; two MTV Video Music Awards, three MTV Europe Music Awards, an NME award, and have even been nominated twice for the Brit Award for Best British Group.
They were also nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2001 but the nomination was withdrawn at the band's request. Their album Demon Days went five times platinum in the United Kingdom, double platinum in the United States, and earned five Grammy award nominations in 2006. They won one of them in the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals category.
Today, the band's latest song and music video came out in February of 2012. The music video also promoted their new Converse brand. In an interview with the two creators of Gorillaz, it has been made evident that more Gorillaz projects seem "unlikely" because of disagreements between the two creators but there is a possibility that once the disagreements are solved, they will continue.
If you think you've never heard their songs, try searching Clint Eastwood, Feel Good Inc, Dare, 19-2000, El Manana, On Melancholy Hill, Dirty Harry, Superfast Jellyfish, or Stylo on youtube.com. They have many more songs but these are some of their most famous.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Chasity Jones entered the guilty plea Friday in the January 2011 death of Senior Officer Gail Thomas.
The newspaper reported Jones also pleaded guilty to one count of failure to obey the directions of an officer.
Friday's hearing had to be moved to a larger courtroom to accommodate a large number of law enforcement officers in attendance, which included Atlanta Police Chief George Turner, Fulton County Sheriff Ted Jackson and Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard.
Jones' sentencing hearing was continuing Friday afternoon.

Yes, there IS a 3-breasted prostitute in this unnecessary re-do. This action sci-fi is too loud, too dark and too frenetic. Yes, director Len Wiseman showcases the always great-looking badass real life, wife Kate Beckinsale. Jessica Biel matches her ferocity. With Colin Farrell as the centerpiece, the film feels like each one is trying to out-testosterone everyone else. This one's all action with no heart and no emotionalism.
It's not awful, it's just meh.

Everybody knows that. The maybe 30 percent who don't like it much (that's what Obama got in vote percentage in Greater Rome the last time around) know it best of all. They are the new "Silent Majority" as most of them don't dare say a word about politics except around those whom they know are of a similar mind.
If they do speak up in "mixed company" of a political nature they are more likely to be derided, called stupid idiots or such than be engaged in a rational adult conversation with someone of different viewpoint. So, they shut up, keep their heads down and maintain a low profile.
And wonder how one Facebook "unfriends" — until Nov. 7 and without them knowing about it — all those who bombard them daily with shared political witticisms akin to the going-potty jokes of 8-year-olds. Or worse.
"I'm worried my car would get keyed," said one acquaintance about talking politics in mixed elephant/donkey company. "My neighbors would never talk to me again" said another.
THIS IS NOT how American democracy is supposed to work. Passion in politics? Absolutely. Fear of sharing one's opinion? No. Dealing with pure mindless hatred? No.
Sure, not everybody is that way — on either "side." However, it is plain that too many are.
One can't recall another campaign, of such supposed high interest, in which so few bumper stickers and yard signs are visible. A reflection of a "why ask for trouble" mood? Indeed, if current signage locally actually translated into votes then Tim Burkhalter would be our next president.
On the other hand, for those who know their American history, such mindless hatred is something our society has long tried to rise above but not how it was born.
The loyalists/royalists in the time of the Revolution (maybe about 20-30 percent of the male population, those being the only sex anybody paid attention to in that time) were treated very badly (tarred, feathered, roasted alive over fires) by the maybe 40 percent who were on the rebel side.
The other 30 percent or so just tried like heck to stay out of the way of the opposing sides. About the same percentage are classified as "independents" nowadays.
Even now one has to deal with the opinion that "If you are not with us, then you are against us."
AFTER THE REVOLUTION, most "king's men" stayed and adjusted but many on the losing side left the newly formed United States — some to Canada or Nova Scotia, some south to Florida (not yet part of the U.S.), some back to England and so forth. There are a lot of Central and South Americans with ancestral roots in Dixieland as well.
Frankly, other than in the degree of terrorism displayed (no suicide bombers back then) those times weren't all that different from the open season that the Taliban has proclaimed on all opponents in Afghanistan. Nor is that an uncommon attitude throughout history anywhere in the world; it just doesn't get exalted in the aftermath by winners although losers tend to "Forgit, hell!" for a long, long time.
How widespread this fear of speaking out with a minority viewpoint, or eagerness to scream a majority one as though part of some mob, has become is difficult to discern. Certainly, based on what one can easily find on the Internet, it is widespread and appears more so in areas dominated by the so-called "right wing" than in the "left wing" of the nation which is — where?
Not just San Francisco. There are entire states as lopsidedly for Obama as this area appears to be for Romney. Shocking, isn't it? And the majorities there believe those here to be as hugely wrong and deceived as the majorities here think that they are.
Against this background it is interesting to note the differing opinions as to the certain result of such a split held by two personages quite familiar to most Americans.
ACCORDING TO Jesus Christ in Matthew 12:25 (KJV): "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand."
Abraham Lincoln said, in a famous speech delivered before he even ran for president: "A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other."
There is a third option, of course: Work differences out and nail a house together that can stand even with very different occupants within it.
That is what Americans have long sought to achieve, sometimes after burning the old house down and starting over from scratch.
Except perhaps in politics, which of late has begun to look less like the foundation of a civilized society and more like an infestation of termites.
Nonetheless, even there hope remains as witnessed in the presidential debate.
Who won? Who cares?
Most observers said it was Romney, and it is hard to disagree on the basis of impression left. Most fact-checkers afterwards also found that little of what Romney said bore much truthful content. Hey! What's truth got to do with any of this? Our opinion is our opinion and 70 percent of this paper's readership will agree/disagree with it while the other 30 percent agree/disagree with it.
BESIDES, and let's be honest about this, most of those making up the electorate know more about football than they do about politics or governing, which they also treat like some sort of "hit 'em again … harder, harder!" game. No matter how well or poorly one's team plays it is still your team. The other side can only score by cheating, being awfully lucky or the referees — pundits in politics — being blind. And if your team fumbles the ball away, then just hit their running back more viciously next time.
However, if true attention was paid by the nation to this past week's televised debate and is then heeded perhaps all of us might win. This is the real conclusion to be drawn from the debates:
In a nation in which mostly yelling is now heard, and elected officials seemingly can't agree on anything, the candidates of very differing viewpoints acted like adults. They agreed to disagree without calling each other nasty names. They listened to each other. They were civilized about it. Even though what they said mostly was not eloquent, or even correct at times, they tolerated each other.
Actually, they acted like they respected each other.
In the process, they apparently set what now seems like a high standard, which not long ago was actually the common standard, that much of the electorate is not now meeting.
MAYBE WE, you, all of us can meet it again. The first step is to try using the first rule of debating:
Engage brain before starting mouth.

Occidental Petroelum's proposed Ingleside Energy Center (IEC) was approved by the FERC in June 2005. Development is being handled by an Oxy subsidiary, Occidental Energy Ventures Corp.
An LNG facility, IEC will be located next to Oxy's existing chemical plant on the Corpus Christi Bay near Ingleside, Texas.
Consisting of a new marine basin on the La Quinta Channel with a protected berth for unloading LNG, two storage tanks with 160,000-cubic-meter capacity, ethane and LPG recovery facilities, LNG vaporizing equipment, and the San Patricio Pipeline, estimated costs for the project exceed $400 million. Development plans include reusing 2 million gallons of the wastewater produced by the chemical plant each day in the vaporization process.
Natural gas output capacity at IEC will be 1 billion cubic feet per day to the San Patricio Pipeline, whose construction is in the planning phases, according to Oxy. A fourth of the imported LNG to the facility will be upgraded into on-site electricity generation and petrochemical feedstock.
The 26-inch diameter San Patricio Pipeline will stretch 26 miles and host nine interconnections with existing interstate and intrastate pipelines. The pipeline is expected to be completed coinciding with the timeline of IEC.
As of August 3, 2010, FERC indicated the Ingleside LNG project was not under construction.

Lending your cred to a pair of athletic shoes or a golf shirt is so Old School. If the gadgets coming out of CES are any indication, today's hipsters want to slap their names on something with a little more cachet. And what could broadcast cool better than a slick pair of headphones endorsed by Diddy, Beyonce, or the noted philanthropic duo, Bono and Lady Gaga? Here's a sampling of the latest ear candy for listening to the tracks on your latest hit, to running the 100 meters to tunes from the Black Eyed Peas.
There's nothing inherently green about a product, just because it's dressed up in bamboo, but if it makes you think twice about trashing them when the Jonas Brothers release their own line of headphones, then they will have done their planet-friendly little job.

Another design from SKD, these headband-style headphones come in a variety of fashion finishes, including hand-stitched leather and the always-popular blue stingray hide.

Galvan Gets A Grip

Description: Galvin works at one of the busiest bars that cater to the Latino crowd in this area. The last time I was there, someone spilled a ***** on the table next to me and Galvin came over right away to clean it up. When I thanked him, he seemed kinda shy, but smiled. Over the course of the night as we chatted, I think one of his co-workers clued him in to all the guys who come over to my place for a shoot. I caught on that Galvin wanted to try it out, so I had him come over for a photo shoot and video. When I pointed the camera at him, he went from shy to wild in record time.

The wife of a South Carolina soldier who disappeared from his home Saturday night says he has been spotted in Indiana.
Pamela Larson, the wife of Sgt. Robert Larson posted late Thursday night on the "Help Find Sgt. Robert Larson" Facebook page that he was seen in Gary, Indiana on October 9th. The post also included surveillance photos of a man Larson believes is her husband.
The local ground search has been put on hold while authorities investigate leads that Sgt. Larson may be out of state.
Calhoun County Sheriff Thomas Summers on Thursday afternoon said investigators have received tips and are working on leads that the 26-year-old isn't in South Carolina anymore. The sheriff wouldn't elaborate on what those leads are or where Larson might be.
Larson hasn't been seen since approximately 7 p.m. on Saturday. Pamela Larson says her husband left their Sandy Run home in his Jeep after working all day on the brakes.
She believes he may have left to blow off some steam after she was "nagging" him to help carry some boxes into the house.
He suffered a traumatic brain injury when the vehicle he was riding in hit an IED in Iraq during a deployment eight years ago.
Larson hasn't answered his phone or sent Pamela any text messages since he left. She says this long period of being out of contact is abnormal for her husband.
Larson was driving a Black 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Smittybilt XRC front and rear fenders, and Smittybilt stickers on windshield and rear windows. It has South Carolina Purple Heart license plates. The tag number is PH5752.
Pamela was initially worried her husband may have gone off-road driving after dark on Saturday. "He thinks because he has a 4-wheel drive vehicle that he knows how to drive it in the woods," said Larson.

When I got that phone call and the doctor diagnosed me with mantle cell lymphoma
(MCL), my instinct, like so many of us, was to Google. Since then, I have learned about what to look for, what to avoid and how to
manage my natural wish to know as much as possible.
The following are six suggestions to help others faced with a cancer diagnosis.
1. Google, but wisely:
Google (and Wikipedia) are a reflex. Don't fight it. However, when
looking at suggested links, go for more reliable sources. Any national
cancer (e.g., American Cancer Society) or health agency (e.g., National Cancer Institute), major cancer center (e.g., MD Anderson), and any specific cancer organization (in my case, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society).
Be forewarned, for more aggressive cancers, this will be frightening reading.

Letter | Vote yes on Prop. #1 fire station levy
October 22, 2012 · 3:40 PM
Minutes matter: we can agree with the concept, whether it's getting to an appointment or waiting for that all-important call for aid when you call 911.
The South end fire station was built in 1962, when Mercer Island had 13,000 residents. It has been sufficient, but with our population at 23,000, it's showing its age and needs vast improvement. By adding a new station we not only answer everyday safety concerns, but will address major issues that impact the whole Island. Being part of an integrated system requires that the South end station respond to South end emergencies and support major Islandwide events. It could be an earthquake or your neighbor's heart attack.
The cost for this project will be $5 per month for nine years, based on a median priced home of $700,000. Not a great deal of money for peace of mind and security. Join me in supporting this much-needed community infrastructure. Vote yes on Fire and Rescue, Proposition #1.
Ida Ballasiotes
Five-term state representative, Washington state Legislature

Trutanich threats of lawsuit:
"It also won't be the first time that Trutanich has wasted taxpayer resources to promote himself."
"However, Trutanich is poised to 'officially' announce that he is running for District Attorney. His personal need to keep his name in the headlines is likely to override any concern that the cost of bankrupting the Occupiers will cost the City even more money."
$1.7 million is supposed to cover police overtime, but according to Los Angeles Dragnet, even Trutanich chief deputy William Carter says "some city workers would have been on duty anyway," which raises the question of what city workers are being paid for in the first place if their duties are to be charged back to anyone who causes them to actually do their jobs?
So after two months of actions intended to draw attention to the economic distress of mainstream America, we find out it's all about 'Nuch' and his career aspirations. Wonder how much his antics are worth to the Central City Association and other contributors (lobbyists) who don't like socially-conscious protesters pointing out that they are, in many instances, unprosecuted criminals, effectively protected from culpability or liability by useful stooges like Trutanich? Looks like we're going to find out.
"With Trutanich's proven track record as a 'grandstander' and his personal need to achieve publicity to further his political career, it seems likely that Trutanich will seek to financially ruin the Occupiers, as well as the taxpayers of Los Angeles, who have to fund his fiascoes."
Also from LA Dragnet the following revelation:
"Trutanich faces overwhelming opposition from the 1,000 deputy district attorneys who do not want Trutanich to be their next boss."
As if to make the point for him, the following comment was lifted from "Joe Friday's" blog by a typical hack-thug-troll:
"As usual more lies from 'Joe Friday' who is too chicken to use his real name. Well we all know who you are, and so does Nuch. Get ready for some freeway therapy you are a stooge and a betrayer and you will pay."
Uh oh. Sounds like "Joe Friday" pushed the wrong button. No chickens here. We don't write these stories and post them to the Internet to maintain anonymity like the cowards that post comments like this. But he did a pretty good job of providing a preview of what to expect from Trutanich as he continues to pursue bogus charges against advocates for social justice.
Trutanich likes to say (ad nauseum) that he is not a politician; that he is content with his status as City Attorney, but his actions tell another story:
"What a coincidence. Last year, City Attorney Carmen Trutanich scribbles a legal opinion invalidating a vendor contract at LAX.
"Now Council awards a new ten-year vendor contract at LAX. To a firm represented by John Ek, who hosted a fundraising party for Trutanich in April (2011)."
Not a politician? A local blogger has been following Trutanich and provides a number of links to relevant stories as well as a forum for some interesting comments:
The first article on the possible candidacy of the "Nuch" was published by the LA Weekly on January 27, 2011. Couldn't help but note at the time that County DA Steve Cooley's wife was one of the first contributors to his campaign which didn't seem consistent with the following from LA Weekly:
"But shortly after the first of the year, Cooley got a call from John Shallman, the consultant who ran an insurgent campaign to oust Gil Garcetti in 2000. Shallman, according to a person with knowledge of the conversation, told Cooley that he would be managing Trutanich's campaign.
"Cooley was livid.
"He had lent credibility to Trutanich when he was still a long-shot for city attorney, and helped him retire campaign debt after he had won. He had made Trutanich."
Not long after the article was published, Cooley announced that he would not seek re-election, a complete reversal of his stance after he lost a close contest to Kamala Harris for state Attorney General. (Cooley wasn't much of a politician either as it turns out). But you have to wonder about a guy who has contributors telling LA Weekly: "He's fucking insane . . . He sounds like a thug," which seems to be a recurring theme among both his supporters and his opposition. (See link above).
And this is the guy who has threatened to sue protesters who were under the impression via resolution passed by the City Council, that they were welcome and in fact invited to stay as long as they wished? The guy who apparently thinks that $1.7 million is overtime is the burden of those who were targeted by at least 12 undercover cops? Are their salaries part of the cost to the city as well? What about all the other agencies that also sent undercover officers that were generally a pain in the ass while we watched their "undercover" antics? They were tripping over each other, all of them on the public payroll. Are we on the hook for their salaries too? Just put in on our bill.
It might be worth mentioning here that many of the occupiers have no intention of answering the suit, but some would welcome the opportunity to counter any complaint with their own suit against Trutanich and the city, something that Mr. Trutanich can make possible if he makes good on his threats.
The courts would be a much better venue for a serious examination of all the issues, especially the constitutional questions. Such a suit would also provide an opportunity to subpoena all the records of public officials, LAPD, and County Sheriff Lee Baca who once again proved why his department has attracted not only the attention of civil rights attorneys, but also the feds.
(The following report resulted in some bad ink for Baca and the feds are apparently investigating without his knowledge or participation. Turns out Baca has accepted more gifts than all of the other 57 sheriff departments in California combined, the cash value in excess of $100,000). The report at this link regarding conditions at Hotel Baca was not a concoction of biased parties:
In fact, Baca has changed course so often it's getting hard to figure out exactly what he means when he's quoted. Who is going to get the blame for the various transgressions that have surfaced this year? Thanks to the Los Angeles Times for comprehensive reporting on the subject:
"Baca had much worse days trying to defend himself and his department against mounting evident that deputies abused inmates in the jail, allegations that are now the subject of an FBI investigation."
Trutanich and his well-known tactics of intimidation and threats are welcome to pursue a suit based on the flimsy arguments he would be obliged to present to the court. And many of us who were witnesses would also relish the opportunity to be called (and then report as the documents that are brought in provide the answers to a lot of suspicions that can't be proven . . . yet). Can't wait to see the records of how the raids were planned and executed. As Justice Brandeis said, "Sunlight is the best disinfectant."
See you in court "Nuch" but this word of advice while you're considering legal action. Threats, intimidation and malicious prosecution don't go over too well with this group. At least those of us who know that bullshit spewing from bullshitters who made careers out of bullshitting the public are not to be taken seriously.
On this occasion, even the Los Angeles Times agrees that the "Nuch" is engaging in a folly that to many of us appears to be a form of harassment. Their editorial board can speak for themselves:
And kudos to Ted Rall for making the point artistically.
Those who are involved in court cases are encouraged to comment and submit relevant developments.

Clippers streak continues with 8-2 victory
The streak has reached lucky number 13 as the Clippers prevail over the Charlotte Knights tonight 8-2 . They now improve to 21-5 overall and have a 5 game lead over Louisvile in the International League West Division.
The Clippers offense had a big say in tonight's win. Columbus scored 8 runs in the ball game with the big number coming in the top of the seventh when the Clippers put up five in that frame. That was more than enough run support for Clippers righthandere Zach McAllister, who pitched his longest outing of the year. McAllister went eight innings giving up only two runs, all earned, on seven hits while striking out five and walking one. He is now 5-0 on the season as he continues to impress on the mound for the Clippers. Charlotte righthander Freddy Dolsi was saddled with the loss. He falls to 0-3 on the season.
In the top of the third, the Clippers got on the board with a lot of help coming from some small ball. Wes Hodges led off the inning with a double. The next batter, Luis Valbuena, laid down a dandy of a bunt that allowed him to reach on an infield single. With runners on 1st and third with nobody out, Ezequiel Carrerra stepped to the plate and he did not disappoint. His bunt single alowed Hodges to score from third and gave the Clippers an early 1-0 lead over the Knights. Unfortunatley for the Clippers, that would be the only run they would end up scoring that inning as Lonnie Chisenhall lined into a double play to the inning.
The Knights would come right back in the bottom of the third as Charlotte leftfielder Alejandro de Aza got the runner in from third with a sacrifice fly. Jered Head made it interesting with a strong throw from the outfield, but Charlotte shortstop Gookie Dawkins came in to score from third and just like that, we were all tied at 1 at the end of three.
The Clippers would then come to bat in the top of the sixth. Cord Phelps blasted a pitch that was just off the wall in right center field for a lead-off double. The next batter, Lonnie Chisenhall, lined a pitch to left field for a baseknock. After a Chad Huffman strikout, Jason Kipnis and he helped the Clippers get back the lead. Kipnis's RBI single put the Clippers up 2-1 in the top of the sixth. But the Clippers were not done there as Jerad Head increased the Columbus lead. Head's 11th RBI of the season augmented the Clippers lead to 3-1 at that point.
In the top of the seventh, the Clippers worked a little two out magic. Ezequiel Carrerra, Cord Phelps, and Lonnie Chisenhall all walked with two outs. Charlotte starter Freddy Dolsi was then pulled by Knights. Charlotte righthander Deunte Heath came on to relieve Dolsi and he was rudely greeted by Chad Huffman. Huffman's two run single 5-1. But that was not all for the Clippers. Jason Kipnis got in on the act with his bat. Kipnis's double increased the Columbus lead to 7-1. As if that wasn't enough, the Knights added insult to injury with a defensive gaffe. By the end of the inning, the Clippers had scored five runs and had a 8-1 lead after 6 1/2.
The Clippers would cruise from there as Zach McCallister pitched eight innings while only giving up 2 runs on seven hits and striking out 5. Carlton Smith came on in the ninth for Columbus. Could the Clippers really go 8-0 on an eight game road trip and win their 13th straight ballgame? In a word, yes. Smith struck out three in the inning to seal the win and a perfect road trip.
The Clippers have an off-day on Wednesday. They will resume play at Huntington Park on Thursday when they open up a a four game series aginst the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. Corey Kluber will get the ball for the Clippers. He is still looking for his first win of the season. He will oppose Brian Gordon, who will be toeing the rubber for the Iron Pigs in the series opener. First pitch is at 6:35.

This is my 9th year teaching; my 8th in first grade. I love teaching children at this age. They are excited to learn and love school! In first grade children make progress so quickly and you can really see them learning new things. I love to see the light come on in their eyes when they are catching on to something new- so rewarding!
Reading block consumes most of my day and it is set up as a "workshop". I teach small reading groups while other students complete independent work stations. Lately I've been trying to set up math in the same way. By teaching smaller groups of students at a time I can individualize my lessons to better meet their needs.

JENKINSVILLE — In keeping with its custom the V.C. Summer Nuclear Plant made a public presentation of its tax payment to Fairfield County in January, a payment of a bill totaling $233,360,205.74. In the Jan. 18, 2013, edition of The Herald Independent, the article on that presentation contained an error in its account of the breakdown of the tax dollars. Ridgeway and Winnsboro do not receive allocated funds from the payment 2013 V.C. Summer made to the county.
Rather, the $15,712.16 for Winnsboro and the $4,579.22 for Ridgeway are funds that are used as rollbacks against property tax in those municipalities.
According to County Administrator Phil Hinely, a local one-penny sales tax option was put in place seven to eight years ago and that sales tax revenue was a rollback against property tax in Winnsboro and Ridgeway. There were no property taxes collected in Winnsboro and Ridgeway, because those funds were substituted with sales tax. The two figures actually are monetary relief to the nuclear plant on its property tax bill.
Hinely said clearly that neither Ridgeway, nor Winnsboro received those funds in their coffers.

Happy Persian New Year!!! Impress your Iranian friends and tell them "Noruz Mobarak." Persian New Year's always occur on the first day of spring, this year it's on March 19th 10:14pm PT. In the Iranian calendar it's 1391.
Many of you have asked, what do you do for Persian New Year's? Below is a description on how we celebrate this cultural event (Enjoy). I'd like to wish everyone a wonderful New Year's (Noruz) Celebration! Love, Leila
Noruz (Persian New Year) literally means "New Day" and celebrates the first day of spring. Sal Tahvil is the official time for the Spring Equinox. Every year the equinox occurs usually on, or around, March 21st. Noruz has been celebrated for at least 3,000 years and is deeply rooted in the rituals and traditions of the Zoroastrianism, the religion of ancient Persia, before the advent of Islam in 7th century A.D.
The celebration begins on the eve of the last Wednesday before Noruz, also known as Char-Shanbeh Souri, or "Red Wednesday." Bonfires are lit in public places and people leap over the flames; symbolically, people burn their past year's weaknesses, sins, bad habits, and even misfortunes with the hope of starting a new and fresh life in the coming New Year.
Char-Shanbeh souri has a religious background in which Zoroastrian's introduced fire as a cleansing and purifying element which removed all kinds of uncleanness from the earth.
Iranians consider Noruz their biggest celebration of the year. By the first day of Spring, an elaborate table spread (Sofreh) is adorned with items collectively known as the Haft Seen. At least seven (Haft) symbolic objects that begin with the Persian letter Seen (same as 'S' in English) is decorated. The number seven has been sacred in Persian culture since the ancient times and stands for the seven virtues of life: Rebirth, Health, Happiness, Prosperity, Joy, Patience and Beauty.
The seven items usually include:
- Seeb (apple): symbolizes health, natural beauty, fragrance;
- Sabzeh (wheat or lentil, is grown on a dish before New Years): representing rebirth;
- Serkeh (vinegar): symbolizes age and patience; wards off bitterness in life;
- Samanoo (sweet pudding made from wheat germ): symbolizes sweetness; fertility;
- Senjed (dried fruit from the lotus tree): symbolizes love;
- Sekkeh (coin): symbolizes wealth, and prosperity;
- Seer (garlic): symbolizes medicine;
- Somagh (sumak, an Iranian spice): represents the color of sunrise;
- Sonbol (hyacinth flower): represents sweetness; with its strong fragrance welcomes the arrival of spring.
Also, placed on the Sofreh:
- Lighted candles: represents the goodness and warmth that enters life with the coming of spring;
- Orange placed in a bowl of water: represents earth floating in space;
- Goldfish: represents life; and the next zodiac sign, from Pices
- Mirror: symbolizes the reflections of creation on the first day of spring;
- Painted eggs: representing fertility;
- Rosewater – thought to have magical cleansing powers;
- Shirini – Sugar cookies and pastries;
- Holy Book such as Qur'an (Koran), Avesta, Torah, Bible. It depends on the faith which the family belongs to. Some Iranian's found another alternative such as Divan-e Hafiz (poetry book of Hefiz) or Shahnameh (the Epic of Kings) from Ferdowsi.
Troubadours or Hajee Firouz symbolizes the rebirth of the Sumerian god of sacrifice, Domuzi, who was killed at the end of each year and reborn at the beginning of the New Year. Hajee Firouz wears a bright red outfit and covers the face with black make-up, as well as sings and dances through the streets with a tambourine, kettle drum and trumpet, to spread good cheer and the news of the coming New Year.
Noruz is a twelve-day celebration in which people visit their families and friends, the tradition is called Eid-de-danni (means visiting people for season greetings). Officially, Noruz ends on the 13th day, Seezdeh beh-dar. Iranians consider 13 to be an unlucky number, and for this reason, they spend the day outside the home. Seezedeh means 13 and beh-dar means away or out. Essentially, it is custom for Iranians to spend the day with nature at the park, hills or mountainsides for a festive picnic.
Noruz is a 'Celebration of Life'

South Dakota
South Dakota is a state located in the Midwestern region of the United States. It is named after the Lakota and Dakota Sioux American Indian tribes. Once a part of Dakota Territory, South Dakota became a state on November 2, 1889. The state has an area of 77,116 square miles (199,730 km2) and an estimated population of just over 800,000. Pierre is the state capital and Sioux Falls, with a population of just over 150,000, is South Dakota's largest city.South Dakota is bordered by the states of North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Montana. The state is bisected by the Missouri River, dividing South Dakota into two geographically and socially distinct halves, known to residents as "East River" and "West River". Eastern South Dakota is home to most of the state's population, and fertile soil in this area is used to grow a variety of crops. West of the Missouri, ranching is the predominant agricultural activity and the economy is more dependant on tourism and defense spending. The Black Hills, a group of low pine-covered mountains, is located in the southwest part of the state. The Black Hills are of great religious importance to local American Indians and also the location of Mount Rushmore, a major tourist destination. Other attractions in the southwest include Badlands and Wind Cave national parks, Custer State Park, the Crazy Horse Memorial, and historic Deadwood. South Dakota experiences a temperate continental climate, with four distinct seasons and precipitation ranging from moderate in the east to semi-arid in the west. The ecology of the state features species typical of a North American grassland biome.
Humans have inhabited the area for several millennia, with the Sioux becoming dominant by the early 19th century. In the late 1800s, white settlement intensified after a gold rush in the Black Hills and the construction of railroads in the east. This settlement triggered a number of Indian Wars, ending with the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. Key events in the 20th century included the Dust Bowl, increased federal spending during the 1940s and 50s, and continuing changes in agriculture. While several Democratic senators have represented South Dakota for multiple terms at the federal level, the state government is largely dominated by the Republican Party, whose nominees have carried South Dakota in the last eleven presidential elections. Historically dominated by an agricultural economy and a rural lifestyle, South Dakota has recently sought to diversify its economy to attract and retain residents. However, it is still largely rural and has the fifth-lowest population density among U.S. states. South Dakota's history and rural character still strongly influence the culture of the state.
South Dakota can generally be divided into three regions: eastern South Dakota, western South Dakota, and the Black Hills. The Missouri River serves as a boundary in terms of geographic, social and political differences between eastern and western South Dakota, and the geography of the Black Hills differs from its surroundings to such an extent that it can be considered separate from the rest of western South Dakota. South Dakotans also at times combine the Black Hills with the rest of western South Dakota, and refer to the two resulting regions, divided by the Missouri, as West River and East River.
Eastern South Dakota generally features higher precipitation and lower topography than the western part of the state. Smaller geographic regions of this area include the Coteau des Prairies, the Dissected Till Plains, and the James River Valley. The Coteau des Prairies is a plateau bordered on the east by the Minnesota River Valley and on the west by the James River Basin. Further to the west, the James River Basin is mostly low, flat, highly eroded land, following the flow of the James River through South Dakota from north to south. The Dissected Till Plains, an area of rolling hills and fertile soil that covers much of Iowa and Nebraska, also extends into the southeastern corner of South Dakota. Layers deposited during the Pleistocene epoch, starting around two million years ago, cover most of eastern South Dakota. These are the youngest rock and sediment layers in the state, and are the product of several successive periods of glaciation which deposited a large amount of rocks and soil, known as till, over the area.
The Black Hills, a low mountain range, is located in southwestern South Dakota.The Great Plains cover most of the western two-thirds of South Dakota. West of the Missouri River the landscape becomes more arid and rugged, consisting of rolling hills, plains, ravines, and steep flat-topped hills called buttes. In the south, east of the Black Hills, lie the South Dakota Badlands. Erosion from the Black Hills, marine skeletons which fell to the bottom of a large shallow sea that once covered the area and volcanic material all contribute to the geology of this area.
The Black Hills are in the southwestern part of South Dakota and extend into Wyoming. This range of low mountains covers 6,000 sq. mi (15,500 km²) with peaks that rise from 2,000 to 4,000 feet (600 to 1,200 m) above their bases. The Black Hills are the location of Harney Peak (7,242 ft or 2,207 m above sea level), the highest point in South Dakota and also the highest point in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains. Two billion-year-old Precambrian formations, the oldest rocks in the state, form the central core of the Black Hills. Formations from the Paleozoic Era form the outer ring of the Black Hills; these were created between roughly 540 and 250 million years ago. This area features rocks such as limestone which were deposited here when the area formed the shoreline of an ancient inland sea.
South Dakota has a continental climate with four distinct seasons, ranging from very cold, dry winters to hot and semi-humid summers. During the summers, the average high temperature throughout the state is often close to 90 °F (32 °C), although it generally cools down to near 60 °F (15 °C) at night. It is not unusual for South Dakota to have severe hot, dry spells in the summer with the temperature climbing above 100 °F (38 °C) several times every year. Winters are cold with January high temperatures averaging below freezing and low temperatures averaging below 10 °F (- 12 °C) in most of the state.
Average annual precipitation in South Dakota ranges from semi-arid conditions in the northwestern part of the state (around 15 inches, or 381 mm) to semi-humid around the southeast portion of the state (around 25 inches, or 635 mm), although a small area centered on Lead in the Black Hills has the highest precipitation at nearly 30 inches (762 mm) per year.
South Dakota summers bring frequent, sometimes severe, thunderstorms with high winds, thunder, and hail. The eastern part of the state is often considered part of Tornado Alley, and South Dakota experiences an average of 29 tornadoes per year. Severe weather in the form of blizzards and ice storms occur often during winter.

Condos versus Hotels
Would you rather stay in a confined hotel room with no kitchen facilities or extras when you can get so much more for your money and stay in a spacious 1 or 2 bedroom resort condo with suite-style amenities and a partial or full kitchen?
A partial or full kitchen allows you to stay in for some meals when it is not convenient for you to go out. Breakfast is a perfect example. In a hotel your only option is room service at exorbitant prices. With a spacious resort condo you can have breakfast in bed every day.
The regular price (up to $3,000/week) for all Last Minute Vacations is discounted 6 to 8 weeks in advance to as low as $399 to $549 per week. The prices shown for these Sell Off Vacations are for the room for a week and not per person. Normal cleaning charges upon departure are included in all last minute vacations. NOTE: Prices do NOT include local taxes or all-inclusive fees for food etc. as these are paid directly to the resort. This is the only additionnal charge for our Last Minute Vacations.

Fees, terms and conditions of packages covered by an all-inclusive fee are determined solely by the resort, and are subject to change at their discretion.
South Dakota Last Minute Vacations do not include taxes or any fee for meals, drinks, activities etc. Prices shown for these Cheap Last Minute Vacations are for accommodations for a week and not per person. Normal cleaning charges upon departure are included in these Last Minute Sell Off Vacations. The only additional charge would be tax if the property is required to collect tax or located outside the USA.
