lol i remember that anime hmm it was like ..........2002 or 2003...great anime
Welcome to the land of Wapper

Here's the summary.... but i guess its kinda confusing
The story focuses on four people from our world (High school students Makoto Mizuhara, Katsuhiko Jinnai and Nanami Jinnai, and History teacher Masamichi Fujisawa) who are mysteriously transported to the fantastical world of El-Hazard, which is threatened with a massive war between the human nations on one side and the insectoid Bugrom tribe on the other. To add further complexity, the quartet's transportation has a side effect, in that each of them gains a unique special ability. For instance, Katsuhiko gains the power to communicate with the Bugrom, and subsequently uses his power to become the Bugrom's military leader while his sister can see through illusions. The hard-drinking, chain-smoking Fujisawa, on the other hand, gains superhuman strength and athletic ability, but only when he's sober. Makoto's power comes much later but he learns he can control the ancient technology of that world which range from minor gadgets to the most powerful weapons.
The central conflict in El-Hazard: The Magnificent World focuses on Makoto, who along with Nanami, Mr. Fujisawa and human residents of El-Hazard fight against Jinnai's conquest, but other, more sinister machinations lie below the surface. The Wanderers is a simplified version of the original OVA storyline, stretched to twenty-six episodes and eliminates or alters several of the OVA's major characters. El-Hazard: The Magnificent World 2 sees Makoto and the others continuing on in their lives in El-Hazard, when Mr. Fujisawa suddenly runs off, having gotten cold feet the night before his wedding. El-Hazard: The Alternative World follows up with the actual wedding, but the cast is then thrust into another world for a second time; the militant world of Creteria.
I think you covered it well.
El Hazard was an entertaining anime at the time. The original 7 OVA series with it's time travel element and a gorgeous mysterious heroine/villainess was probably the best. Most of the later material seems to be an attempt to cash in on the original's success. They lack substance by comparison but are good if you, like many watchers of certain classics, got addicted to the characters and wanted to see more of them.
Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, El Hazard was a big part of a small fandom. Not knowing what the image at the start of this thread was would have been enough to make angry Otaku break your sword over their knee and forcibly remove your fan stripes. It was a sin comparable to not recognising characters from Bubble Gum Crisis (the original) or not knowing what a cabbit was. ;]

I would give this 4/5 for those of you who have see Escaflowne the series, or Record of Lodoss War will also like this series

The Mohrinho's return to Stanford Bridge is sure a surprise to the United side as the started trailing right from the start as Pedro made his mark on the United side in just 1-minute. The United side had themselves struggling to defend their balls while Chelsea had all their energy put into the game and it paid off in the 21st minute, Cahill added to the tally, taking advantage of the scrambled corner kick cross in the Manchester United Box to make a goal.
This is some nice welcome for Mohrinho at Stanford Bridge, Manchester United went on full attack in the second 45 leaving only two defenders at the United half and this this the Chelsea side capitalized on, hitting Manchester United on counter attacks and that is how Hazard got his goal in the 62nd minute of the game.
Still Manchester United defense had some issues which was evident as another goal was added by N'Golo Kante due to the same mistakes in the Manchester United defense in the 70th minute, totally mesmerizing the Manchester United defense before finishing off the goal.
Still till the whole 90 minutes got exhausted Manchester United where unable to get their forwards disciplined, though at the closing minutes Rojo tried a long range, still could not get past the Chelsea goal keeper.
Chelsea will take the 4th position in the League Table behind the leaders Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham while Manchester United will maintain their 7th position.
A great day for Conte and bad for Mohrinho, next will be the highlights and post match interview.

First impressions matter or so they say. And in the case of the Brooks PureGrit 6, it is hard not noticing some of the features. Definitely the most flexible shoe I have worn. Initially though, the material used for the mesh on top of the toe box did raise a few concerns about how well ventilated my toes would be. My only surprise after unboxing them was, well… as advertised, minimal heel-to-toe drop.
Taking the pair of PureGrit 6 shoes on a couple of runs did reveal a few more details. My slightly wide feet took a good hour to become comfortable on my first run due to the narrower-than-usual mid-foot section. And there... I found it, Traction! The outsoles do provide a good grip for a trail run. Those lugs work truly well and I was still able to feel some of the terrain features. Dry terrain, here I come! Somewhat muddy, here I come anyway – but I need a bit of practice.
Another interesting surprise was to find that the snug fit doesn't allow for internal movement. While the heel counter is very low compared to some of my other shoes, this "movement restriction factor" was quite helpful and added some security to my step. Also, the upper mesh lived up to its promise and I was satisfied to notice very little moisture on my toes.
Overall, I am enjoying running with the PureGrit 6. They are light, they have a good grip and a snug fit. They are not as wide as I would have liked them to be but… for the average runner, they seem to be a good option. Did I mention the grip is very alluring?
Here are the details from Brooks -
Feel more connected to the trail and let your feed lead the way in the PureGrit from Brooks.
- BioMoGo DNA midsole cushioning adapts to every step and stride
- Omega Flex Grooves optimise flexibility
- Rounded Heel provides better alignment, minimizing stress on joints
- Ballistic Rock Shield protects against potential surface hazards
- 3D hex Lugs are reinforced for added durability
- 3D Rubber Print applies strategic stretch and structure for an impeccable fit and enhances protection and durability

The Word of God is invaluable, along with the "voice" that God has chosen and anointed to deliver life changing and dynamic messages and lessons throughout the year; year after year.
A seed sown into the life and voice of our man of God is not only wise, but a "sweet fragrance" unto God. Take this opportunity to sow, pray, believe and apply the Word spoken and expect a great harvest.
(Philippians 4:19-20 AMP)
There are also a few times a year that you can consider sowing intentionally into the life of our Bishop. If you were to sow $1000 per opportunity, it would not pay for the priceless sacrifice, preaching, teaching, and love that he has been graced to share.
So, if you sow $1 or $1 Million, it is not about the amount,
but about the weight.
(Sacrificial Giving)
Below are other special opportunities for an intentional "Precious Seed" to be sown… HEAR GOD and OBEY!
(Ecclesiates 11:4-6 AMP)
Founder's Day & Pastor's Anniversary (Feb)
Birthday (May)
Father's Day (Jun)
Pastor's Appreciation (Oct)
Christmas (Dec)
Any day of the year is a great day to sow a seed of a "Sweet Fragrance".

Rooms To Go Kids - Rooms To Go has forgotten that without the consumer they have zero customers. The customer service
I purchased three pieces from Rooms To Go Kids in Mesquite Texas. One of the pieces was delivered damaged.
Due to the damage to the right front leg, I noticed how unstable this extremely large peace was. The chest I purchased stands at about five feet. The chest stands on legs, which causes the peace to sway. This peace was for my small child's room that stands about two feet.
I called customer service and voiced my concerns. Their customer service offered to replace the chest free of charge. I then voiced my concerns ounce again and asked if they could just replace the peace with a smaller alternative piece in the collection. I also offered to pay the difference in price.
Their customer service informed me that I would have to repay a delivery charge to get the alternative piece. I then tried to explain to the customer service representative that if your company is planning to replace the damaged piece would not it make better since that you just bring the alternative piece rather than the dangerous chest. The customer service representative then said why would we was our time paying a delivery person to bring out the chest if you are going to replace it. I then said so why would I pay a separate delivery fee when you have to come out to bring the chest any way.
The customer service representative then hung up in my face. I tried calling back to speak to a hire authority figure, but I was told that I had to follow the chain of command and that the person I was speaking to would determine if I could speak to a higher authority figure. The customer services as well as the store manager both refused to give me corporate numbers, regional management, or district manager numbers. The store manager was absolutely no help and very cocky.
He tried to charge me more for the piece I wanted which was marked the same price as my original chest. This company has forgotten that if they lose their customers they lose their business. Rooms To Go has gotten Bigger than the Consumer. To end this I will never shop there again, nor will I advise anyone else to.
This company and its unreasonable staff left me with accepting either the oversize piece and risking the safety of my daughter, or pay to replace the piece delivery fee plus the price-gouging attempt by the Mesquite manager.
The furniture piece I have is unsafe for small children and it should be sold in the original Rooms To Go and not the kids division.
Monetary Loss: $499.
Having the same issue with them as well. Yes, their customer service is terrible!
Having the same issue with them as well. Yes, they're customer service is terrible!
Are you able to send us an email with the order information, along with the details, to us at email@example.com? The way of which the incident was handled is very strange and we would like to see who you spoke with that informed you as such.

The Story I submitted to the contestPost Reply
(Yeah it lost miserably, but I wrote it on the spot as I do everything I write >.< so go easy on me)
What ever happened to the days of lazy summer? Watching the clouds whisp by and wondering why they all are so strange and different, and yet still seemed so familiar.
I can vaguely remember times when the most important things in my life could all be held in ones hand, things that had more meaning than value.
Now all of my possessions have a dollar amount, and tend to be held in importance accordingly.
If I struggle hard enough to remember I can still see the face of my favorite teddy bear; the tear on his left cheek puffing with cotton, from when my dog got a hold of him.
I don't even know what happened to that bear, lost in the constant moving or given away to goodwill, It's of not much importance anymore. What do I need a child's toy for?
At night I would clench to him to drown out the sounds of everyone else around me. I could live in my own world with him, a world I created on my own.
My parents often fought, and I suppose this was my way of escaping reality.
I remember the yard that seemed so large, I would lay for hours and stare into the sky. My mother wouldn't let me take my bear out to play, but he would hear of it during our time alone.
Looking back, the 'yard' was barely large enough to fit the word's meaning. And the bear would probably get even more dirty if he was taken outside
The trees seemed so green, and yet changed so quickly to different colors when the winds seemed to get colder.
Simple biology, leaves change colors during the fall, and eventually...
They seemed as mountains. Huge piles of leaves all over my lawn, I see the other children jumping into them and laughing, when I try this father got angry.
Who in their right mind wants to rake leaves a second time, children can be annoying at times.
That night I held as tightly as I could, the thought that if I held tightly enough he would take me away to my perfect world.
Children have such illusions from time to time, I suppose.
The days are getting shorter, so dark so early, and it gets colder and colder... Mom and Dad seem to argue more and more...
My mother never seemed quite happy with the 'family' life.
I don't like the cold, why can't it go back to being warm? I miss laying on grass... snow angels aren't as fun as they are made out to be.
I never liked the cold... still don't. But I suppose some things never change.
The snow just keeps getting taler and taller, eve taller than I am at some times... I wish mom would come back soon.
Winter always seems to be when I am most disappointed with life.
The snow is going away and yet I still haven't seen Mom. Dad says everything is alright, his crying keeps me up all night.
My father was still hopelessly in love with my mother, even after the affair.
Dad explains to me of how mom moved away, and how we'd be moving into an apartment. I miss mom.
Plain and simple, my mother chose him over us.
What ever happened to the seasons? All of a sudden life seems more important than them anymore. I miss my teddy bear...
As with everyone the initial wonder wears off, we become numbed by the pains of life setting in.
Dad tries to smile and make me happy all the time, I haven't seen mom now for a year. What happened to that year? Where did time go? Apartment walls are thinner...
I can remember my dad's tears for over 2 years from when my mom left... even if they were less frequent they were no less disheartening.
Mom came back! 2 years gone and she shows up out of the blue... 2 years? what have I done for 2 years?
Even thinking back it's like time stood still... I can't remember a single moment, only the tears.
I read a poem of how all things gold cannot stay... Why would I think this didn't apply to me? It's all I could do to try and drown out my Dad's cries with my own.
less than one month she had been back, and she moved back to him.
What ever happened to wonderment? This life seems so droll and boring anymore, time passing by without my noticing. Happy 16th birthday.
8 years a blur... and it only seems to go faster and faster as I age more.
Mom shows up in the area again, wants to be a part of my life again. She is a stranger.
8 years... just to show back up and want everything to be alright? I still don't get it.
I'm forced to go spend time with her, see her face, remember what I can... I hate it more than anything else.
I spent most of my time those days drowning myself in studies at school, Chemistry had a way of making me forget just about everything else.
3 years... I'm starting to see her as my mother now... barely. What do I care if she goes off again? people come people go.
I hadn't cried so hard in almost 9 years. Why did I take it so hard?
I feel kinda stupid, having cried over something like that. I now barely see my father anymore. It is such a hassle to get the time of day.
I hate being someone who distances myself... Dad was the only one who was there for me...
Services are this friday. The first time I've seen his face for 6 months... I hate myself for not being there for him, like he was for me.
And why was SHE there... It made it that much worse. I hope I never see her again.
I still cry at nights... It feels like just yesterday, these last 2 months have vanished within it.
It's still cold outside... Sometimes it feels like it pierces into my heart.
So here I am alone again. Possessions fill my heart, and emptiness fills my mind.
What ever happened to the lazy days of summer...
What ever happened to that young boy who loved life so much?
Again guys, like I said something I wrote on the spot, so be nice (or not, if you really didn't care for it at all)
Nothing gold can stay.
Wow, I just re-read this, it really was crap wasn't it?
maybe I should have at least done some reading/editing >.<
Nothing gold can stay.

To the gaming and entertainment community:
It is with great sadness, pain, and regret that we tell you that IGN has failed two of its female employees, one former and one current – both of whom the team cares deeply about. We are devastated that two of our own have had to live with and carry this pain for more than a year.
When the women made management and human resources aware of the situation involving a now-former employee, those women, in the estimation of the IGN team, did not get the respect and care that they deserved as IGN employees and as people. That system, plainly put, failed them. It especially failed them but it also failed all of us.
All of us have been wounded deeply by this – though again, our suffering is nothing compared to those of our two beloved friends – and this morning we addressed the open wound directly with our management team and human resources representative in an emotional, difficult, but ultimately productive two-hour meeting, where any and all voices were heard.
We care deeply about what we do, and we hope our passion for video games and entertainment shines through in our articles, videos, and podcasts every day. But we care even more deeply about each other, and we will continue to fight to make this right for the past, present, and certainly the future. Any future allegations will be taken extremely seriously, and we are actively working to ensure that everyone on our team feels like they work in a safe environment; we will not tolerate the exclusion or mistreatment of any people. The human resources representative who oversaw this situation originally is no longer with the company, and our current HR rep has been transparent and willing to listen to ideas and suggestions for how to create a better work environment going forward.
We are aware of the influence that IGN has in the gaming and entertainment community, and we will utilize that to the best of our abilities going forward. And we will continue to challenge our management and human resources teams to fix what is broken, because if we can't or if we don't, then IGN will no longer be a place we're proud to call home – as content creators, entertainment consumers, and as gamers.
The IGN Team

Not only were materials weak, but anything to do with global growth such as infrastructure hit a wall today even with the market up .5%. Oddly utilities and consumer discretionary had a strong day.
FirstEnergy (FE) in the Net Payout Yields (NPY) model closed right at the 52 week highs hit in mid May. Amazon (AMZN) soared 5.5% after closing at a new 52 week high yesterday. It has now bounced from below $180 in mid August to nearly $240 now.
Global growth stocks such as materials, infrastructure, and emerging market stocks were very weak today. Coal, copper, and crane stocks were smashed even with global markets up. What is this telling us? Maybe that global destruction is off the table, but global growth is still a concern. Investors appear headed for high dividend paying stocks as the NPY model was up nearly 1% while the Opportunistic model stocks were relatively flat.
Have treasuries finally hit bottom now that a Lehman type collapse for Greece appears off the table? Sure better to get a 4% dividend than a 2% ten year that might lose value.
Most of the global growth stocks have bottomed out, but many haven't soared off the bottom like AMZN, Ralph Lauren (RL) or even Apple (AAPL) that is headed to a 52 week high as well.
Below are charts of some of our favorite global growth stocks.
Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) a top 3 met coal company is making higher lows, but the stock was very weak this last week. Considering the stock is trading just below $30 from a high around $68 back in February the upside potential is very attractive.
Freeport McMoRan Copper (FCX) a leading copper producer hit new lows this week and failed to rally even with a market up 5 straight days. FCX faces particular strike issues at a few mines. The biggest concern is what happens when the market sells off.
Gafisa (GFA) is a Brazilian homebuilder that was under immense pressure from higher inflation in Brazil and rising rates. The stock made an attempt to rally a few weeks back after Brazil lowered interest rates. The stock was actually down this week, but it formed an inverse Head & Shoulders pattern that could signal a breakout if it holds this level early next week.
Didn't show the crane stocks but Manitowoc (MTW) and Terex (TEX) plunged this week. Not being able to hold the 10ema is very concerning though MTW has still held the early August lows.
All of these stocks depend to a major extent on the growth in China. The Chinese stock market has been horrible this year and hasn't rallied like the US. Note how the Shanghai Stock Exchange was down this week and only up .13% today. Apparently the above stocks are following the lead of China. Whether China bounces Monday morning might be the key to these stocks next week rather than the US market.
Disclosure: Long AAPL, ANR, FCX, GFA, MTW, TEX. Please review the disclaimer page for more details.

The American Automobile Association's monthly Fuel Gauge report for March shows gas prices on the decline in Florida.
The average price for all grades of self-service gasoline was $1.13 a gallon, down nearly two cents from the February average. Unleaded regular scored the highest decrease, dropping more than two cents per gallon.

There's bound to beat least one new bit of content in Modern Warfare remastered, and it, of course, pertains to the game's multiplayer. The new Modern Warfare Remastered camo, called the "Regal" camouflage, comes from a player getting the gold camo for every weapon class in the game, according to an in-game menu.
See Also: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered Will Have 20 Prestige Levels, Multiplayer Playable Right Now
In order to get the Regal camo, players will have to get gold camo in every weapon class: Assault Rifles, Shotguns, Submachine Guns, and more. Getting the gold camouflage pattern requires you to complete every single weapon challenge in the game, so if you really want the new Modern Warfare Remastered camo, you'll have to really work for it.
While we have no idea of what the Regal camo is going to look like, it will probably be just as flashy, if not more, as the gold camo, which serves no real practical purpose aside from bragging rights that you've played the game long enough to complete all of its challenges.
Considering how many people appear to be considering playing Modern Warfare Remastered instead of Infinite Warfare (despite the two games being bundled together), it's likely that if you play the multiplayer you'll be seeing players with the Regal camouflage all too soon when the bundled games come out tomorrow, November 4.
Players that took part in Advanced Warfare's multiplayer, along with the last two Black Ops games, may recognize the new Modern Warfare Remastered camo as a send-up to those, where players could only get the Royalty camo after getting all of their weapons to Diamond and other such systems.
Modern Warfare Remastered, along with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, will be available tomorrow on November 4, on the Xbox One, the Playstation 4, and the PC. The bundle can't be separated, so buying one will get you the other even if you don't plan on playing Infinite Warfare.

If anybody would like to learn how to play this song on piano, come to my
channel, I've made a tutorial=))) watch?v =_Kxr5g_RMlA
♫I know….I'm tired….of hearing….of hearing, of hearing this
song….of hearing this song.♫
Still, it's not as bad as the worst song ever made…. 'The Man' by Aloe
"Nobody To Love" and dancing crazily happy. :D
And why is this almost the same music as Kanye West – Bound 2
+xJellyMx OMG, seriously? LISTEN EVERYBODY WHO STILL DIDN'T GET IT!
Kanye created "Bound 2" based on older songs like Wee's "Aeroplane" and
"Bound" by Ponderosa Twins Plus One – and Kanye is actually the first one
who came up with the "I know you're tired" part, and he got Charlie Wilson,
an elder american soul singer, to sing it. THEN, Sigma created a remix of
"Bound 2" called "Nobody to Love" which was released in April, 2014.
Wikipedia is your friend, you know. And just because I inform myself it
doesn't mean I'm a Kanye West fan.
Wow some of the people commenting on this video are so stupid….i mean
really? Kanye West fucking sampled THIS song not the other way round, it's
the same thing with 'levels' by Avicii, Flo Rida sampled that song for
'good feeling'. People can be so simple minded sometimes, ugh some butthurt
kanye fans '-_-
And people say Cape Town is poor and full of black :O (not to be raciest)
Do you think so? Like this comment !
Is it just me or does anyone else find the 'oh hoh honey' bit extremely
Bound 2 is so creative. This song is a perfect example of laziness. Sigma
of course remixing the radio friendly hook of bound 2, not only stealing
the hook but also the piano notes, and pretty much just adding a drum n
bass addition to the song…
One of my school teaches is one of there mums
kanye west did it first dawg
Very summery indeed, I feel this is something that will be sticking around
for the next few months
This video is the fuckin epitome of Typical White Girl
Mercedes <3
Aw man I love this song, but what a pointless video clip. So many of these
"endless summer" style videos where young people run around not doing
"Yaaaaaaaaayyyy! Lets celibrate being hot and sexy yaaaaaaaaayyyyy!
Everything is fun when you are hot! Yaaaayyyyy!"
This should have triple the views, wtf is this only 5 mil..
Where is this place? Africa?
eh, no.. i wouldn't do a threesome with them.. eh, no..
who are these girls?:D
enjoying the last day in Slovakia…
Kanye west ruined this song
this song is so repetitive
with the same lyrics all the time
popular and still decent.. the proof that commercial dnb is not always bad.
Damn.. This girls are really very hot!!
Song name?
love each other jesus…
LOL this girls makes the dumbest shit fun
I love this song !
Nice video
WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! BETTER then KANYES shit remake!!!!
This music video compliments the amazing song so well and it just makes me
smile, I love it. Perfect for the summertime
Chujnia i śrut.
I love to talk with "black" people but I don't know why, I feel kinda
intimidated from time to time, I think I have a problem .-.

Five Questions with : Serge Wlodarski
Reads: 95 | Likes: 0 | Shelves: 0 | Comments: 1
Short Story by: Dr. Acula
We were traveling aboard the New RMS Titanic, driving Titleists into the sea of Gallilea off of the stern; talking about Galileo's law of falling bodies in the vertical direction and uniform translational motion, in the horizontal direction. Biomechanics and golf. Tee time and gravitational equations. Just another day in the office.
How does the composition of matter affects it's density, volume and mass?
Was this about the ship we were aboard now or golf balls?
Why do some things float away into the distance and why do some things sink?
I replace my irony club with a would, swing away and ask...
Question 1: Who put the bomp in the... bomp bah bomp bah bomp
Who put the ram... in the rama lama ding dong
Who put the bop... in the bop shoo bop shoo bop
Who put the dip... in the dip da dip da dip
Who was that man?
I can answer that. His name is Nikolai Gvozdev. When the weather is nice you can find him playing at the corner of
Nevsky Prospekt and Ploschad Ostrovstogo in Saint Petersburg, Russia. He starts setting up at 8pm and can get more music out of three and a half fingers than most guitarists get out of
The ship docked at the port of the Black Sea; and we unloaded the cargo we had been transporting across the Arctic ocean. An engine and an old broken down VW bus to rebuild. The demand was there, for such a vehicle, but it involved a lot of leg work and heavy arm lifting as well. Luckily, we had good eye sight and retrospect.
Dexterity and coordination combined with logistical planning and voila, a good center of weight, thoughtfully considering acceleration. Wait, were we talking about golf, music or cars now ?
Question 2 : Concerning words, definitions and you:
If you were a guitar, what guitar?
If you were a car, what car?
If you were a golf course, what would be the par?
If you were a Quasar, what would be the sound of your star?
If you were guitar, what guitar?
I would be the guitar Ritchie Havens played at Woodstock. "That dude wore a hole in me with his pick!"
If you were a car, what car?
Tough question because the answer is location based. In America, I am a 1966 Pontiac GTO. Sky blue of course. In Russia, I am a UAZ 452, their equivalent of a Volkswagon bus. Their nickname for the vehicle translates to "bread loaf". In Germany I am a Porsche 928, platinum metallic like the one Tom Cruise drove in Risky Business.
If you were a golf course, what would be the par?
I rebel against authority and on my golf course, if you don't like a hole, you don't have to play it. So the par varies by golfer. On the course I grew up playing, the 12th hole had too many trees and I hated it.
If you were a Quasar, what would be the sound of your star?
My physics professor in college, Dr. Askew, was large enough to play linebacker in the NFL. He said when he was born he weighed 14 pounds and was 23 inches long. While witnessing the birth, his dad called his mom Popeye.
This is a trick question as sound cannot travel in the vacuum of space. However, electromagnetic waves do and can be translated into sound. My quasar sounds like it put the bop in the bop shoo bop shoo bop.
The only way to get the Porsche engine and the VW body back to the new auto body shop was by railway. So, the cargo containers were delivered by truck, to the railway station, leaving them for the train workers to load upon the freight hauler.
We boarded the train car with our shipment, sent by ship in the form of cargo. It all made sense to somebody with a trained eye.
As a strange side note, the Capitan of the Titanic had a brother, who also happened to be the Conductor of the Trans Siberian train. That wasn't important though, just an everyday coincidence. It ran in their family.
Speaking of running...
Question 3 : When was the last time you wrote out a letter, long hand, and sent it through the mail system?
At first I didn't read the question completely. I started to reply then realized I had to rule out the times I've
attached a letter to a rock and thrown it through a window.
But I do remember this because I was never one to write a lot of letters. It happened back in 1989. I was at the Tip Top Cafe, a bar set in a ramshackle cinder block building. I'd come to hear a band called Kozmic Mama. They were so loud I couldn't talk to the cute bartender I fell in love with that night. So I wrote her a letter.
Turns out she had a boyfriend. Good thing because now she has four kids and weighs more than I do. And the Tip Top is no more. But Kozmic Mama will be playing August 5th at the Sports Page Lounge here in Lily Flagg.
As the Trans Siberian headed into our drop off destination, we gathered our things, getting ready for the next round.
We unloaded the parts and brought them back to the garage.
Then we decided to head down to the local bar to watch the new act, Ferny and The Bussers, while we adjusted to the time zone difference and imbibed on adult beverages; tea time was now over. Later on though, we would eventually head back to the garage and install the engine. It is much easier to put a Porsche engine into a VW bus after a drink or two. At least, that's how the instructions read. For now, though, a little nightlife was a welcome escape. It was 10:30 a.m.
I inquired...
Question 4 : Where have you traveled to ? And where would you like to visit that you have not yet ?
I was an Army brat and spent two years in Europe when I was young. Germany, Switzerland and Italy were all very cool.
Particularly all the artifacts of the Roman Empire in Italy. One thing that really stuck in my head was how spectacularly beautiful Switzerland is.
In the US, I've visited just over half of the states. San Francisco is my favorite American city. The food in Chinatown is amazing. My best American vacation was in Idaho. A friend was attending the University of Idaho and I spent a week there. Now I know what they mean when they say "amber waves of grain."
I've lived most of my adult life in Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Florida. As far as I'm concerned, New Orleans is way over-rated. Same with Atlanta. However, Memphis is really cool. I love Florida but some weirdness occurred there I won't talk about and I can't go back until the statute of limitations runs out.
Here are some hidden gems not many people know about. Ave Maria Grotto, in Cullman, Alabama, is a must see for anyone traveling in the south. While you are in the area, you should visit Cathedral Caverns State Park.
Another great spot is the Jack Daniels distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee. They put on an awesome tour and it's free. Eat lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House if you can get in, but you have to make a reservation months in advance. Your life is incomplete if you haven't eaten their fried okra.
My latest travels have been to Russia. I have been twice in the past year and am in the process of purchasing an apartment in Anapa, a small resort town on the Black Sea. I consider it the Panama City of Russia. I will be returning in a few weeks to finalize the deal.
Without a doubt, Saint Petersburg, Russia is the coolest place I've ever been. But visit in the summer, and bring a jacket. It is cool in more than one way.
Regarding where I'd like to visit but haven't yet, Siberia is at the top of the list. If I can convince the Russian government to let me stay more than a month at a time, I would like to spend a summer traveling on the Trans-Siberian Railway.
And for some reason, I've recently developed the urge to visit Shanghai and eat watermelon with Oleg Roschin.
We headed back to the shop and opened the back of VW the bus; where the new engine would go. The trunk was actually in the front and the engine was, well, that's another story for another time. As for the old engine, it had been removed to save on shipping costs, but we had stocked it full of fresh watermelons to sell at the local market to offset the transportation costs, so really, it was all just a wash.
Using the power lift, we placed the Porsche engine into it's new home and did what we had to to do, connecting hoses and valves until it looked like it was supposed to; once again, according to the instructions, written in jibberish by some Mr. Perdinand something or other.
By the way, I asked....
Question 5 : If you have a favorite "Book, Movie, Band, Author,":
Who and What are they,
And, When and Where did you discover them?
I almost took the easy way out and said it was Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House Cookbook. I didn't even remember I owned it. I stumbled across it while looking for my actual favorite book, which is Five Lessons, The Modern Fundamentals of Golf, by Ben Hogan.
I was 15 and a friend convinced me to play golf with him. At the beginning of that day, I thought golf was for weaklings. I made a triple bogey on the first hole and I was already addicted.
When I got home I thought about the book, my father had bought it even though he rarely played golf. It is a short book, very precisely written and to the point. I read it in one sitting and the next day I was on the driving range, trying to emulate Mr. Hogan. Golf is much harder than it looks.
The bottom line is I spent my rebellious teenage years on the golf course and that kept me away from the craziness that took down some of the kids I grew up with. And my first stories were about my experiences in golf. So you could say that Ben Hogan was also one of my major influences as a writer.
This one was easy, Forrest Gump. I was cruising for reading material in Bookland at Parkway City Mall when the odd cover caught my eye.
Winston Groom grew up here and in the book he captured the dichotomy that was Sweet Home Alabama in the 1960s. One minute we'd be driving past a KKK fundraising carwash. The next minute, I'd be waiting in the car while my mother spoke to Werner von Braun in the grocery store parking lot. Life is like a box of chocolates…
It's probably the Beatles. But then, there's Pink Floyd. And The Who, and the Stones, and AC/DC, and Steve Miller Band, and Dire Straits, and Dylan, and Hendrix and I even like the Bee Gees…
So I'm going to pick Muse. They played every weekend in the Point After Lounge in Auburn, Alabama, in the late 70s. A trio of talented musicians who did great covers and a good bit of original stuff. And the bar served dollar daiquiris on football Saturdays.
They didn't even have a drummer but when they played Take It Easy you could close your eyes and you'd swear it was the Eagles. Best thing is, they are still performing today.
I was having a hard time picking between Arthur C. Clarke, Stephen King, and Tom Robbins. So I went with Kurt Vonnegut. I started reading him in high school. I rarely read the same book more than once but I've read Slaughterhouse Five several times and it still freaks me out.
I'll throw in one extra.
My favorite golf announcer is Gary McCord. He works for CBS. He is funny, enthusiastic, and he's a former professional so he's got cred.
Also, he's the only golf announcer ever to be banned for life from broadcasting The Masters. What got him in hot water with the folks at Augusta National? He said "there are some body bags down there if that keeps going," when a ball was rolling into Rae's Creek. Then he said "bikini wax" is used to make Augusta National's greens so slick. Some people just can't take a joke.
Also, he has a really cool mustache.
After the New RMS VW Porsche UAZ 4952 had been assembled, we revved her up and took her out for a good old fashioned test drive, cruising down main street and then over to the local farmers market to sell some of our fruity delicious contraband. We decided to just give them away instead; gifts. Free advertisment.
Inside the watermelons we had managed to hide secret messages, containing instructions, wrapped with an elastic around a rock. If you had just the right slice, with just the right instrument, you were able to find a fortune; without going off course and taking a mulligan.
The secret message, by the way, instructions for hiding watermelons with hidden messages, inside VW buses and how to properly replace the engine of a UAZ 452 bus with that of a Porsche 952.
It all made sense to somebody.
And, it was all risky business but, Ferdinand Porsche would have been proud.
After all, he invented the seedless watermelon while traveling aboard the original Titanic from Gallilea to the Black Sea.
Also, I found this letter inside a watermelon one day...
Dear Serge, life is like a really cool moustache.
You never know how much bikini wax to use.
Please never stop writing,
thank you, thank you very much.
Mr. Perdinand Forsche
I think I will mail it to him somehow. Carrier pigeon is all the rage these days.

A BOOZER that has been transformed into a family-friendly pub opened to a packed house of customers on Saturday.
Catherine Brown, the new landlady of the Black Horse in Tring, said that there were so many people at the launch that the event felt like a baptism of fire.
Catherine sold her share in Puccino's cafe at Hemel Hempstead railway station to take over the lease at the Punch Taverns-owned pub with her husband Peter. They held a launch to show off the pub's refurbishment and new menu to friends, family, local business owners and customers.
Catherine said: "It was four deep at the bar all night and lots of families came in on Sunday asking for roasts, which we are starting this week."

Title: The French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook
Author: Mireille Guillano
Copyright: 2010
Publisher: Atria Books, A Division of Simon & Schuster
Pages: 298, including your obligatory italicized French words, and an index.
I've been lax in posting reviews; after finding the Food Nanny cookbook that had so many great recipes (that I'm STILL trying!!!), I haven't had motivation to find new cooking fodder. I was poking around for French stuff for my kids (we homeschool) with French as the keyword, and LOOK at what I found. Of COURSE I ordered it through the library. I've been low-energy (ha ha, you can tell because I haven't posted hardly ANY recipes!!!) but the book is due this coming Thursday... I guess it's TIME. :D.
Things I Like About This Book:
Well. I like that there's an index. I like that there are many recipes to choose from. I like the idea that if I eat moderately what's in this cookbook that I could (finally!!!) lose weight. The book is chic with modern illustrations.
I liked the food she put into context. She said that probably the two most unhealthy foods are doughnuts and bagels... and with bagels, we load them with cream cheese, sometimes jam. We have cut doughnuts almost completely out of our diet (I have to say "almost" because my sister-in-law brought some homemade doughnuts over and we devoured them!!). Bagels, we don't eat very often. I like that she advocates eating breakfast, and that it be a balanced meal. We don't just eat carbohydrates and call it good. We need to have protein, maybe some fruit.
This leads to the ONE recipe we might use, Magical Breakfast Cream. It's healthy, it's complete, and it looks yummy, in spite of the flaxseed oil! :D
Things I Don't Like About This Book.
Man cannot live by modern illustrations alone. I liked one recipe and the rest were too fancy for me. Behold some recipe titles:
Fusilli with Spinach and Anchovies
Beet and Ginger Gazpacho
Carmelized Chicken with Vegetable "Pancake"
Prosciutto Wrapped Around Grissini
Mackeral with Curry and Leeks
I can't imagine my husband's face if I were to tell him we were eating "Prosciutto Wrapped Around Grissini!" Maybe if we were fancier folk. I am seeing a pattern to my cookbook reviews........ if it's too fancy, it's OUT. :)

A look into Social Media Majors and how they work.
by Lory Martinez
So you want to major in "Communications", huh?
Well, you should know, it's more than just newspapers and blogs these days.
Several universities across the US are beginning to include "Social Media" in their approved course-load for students interested in communications.
I'm not sure how to feel about this.
I mean, it's one thing to say you're "proficient in social media platforms" on your resume; it's another thing to actually have a degree in it. It brings to mind an important question:
How do you even measure proficiency in "Social Media?" I always assumed that it consisted of being active on all major sites: Facebook, Twitter, Blogger,Tumblr, Yelp, Foursquare etc.
But there's more to it. universities like Newberry College in North Carolina have taken "social media proficiency" to a whole new level. They've incorporated a variety of different programs into the BA in Social Media. According to Gizmodo.com, "The Social Media major [at Newberry] will be an original interdisciplinary program that will capitalize on the strengths of existing courses in Graphic Design, Communications, Business Administration, Psychology and Statistics. Four innovative courses, created specifically for the Social Media major, are also included in the curriculum."
Considering the effect of social media on recent events in the mainstream media, it seems like the perfect time to revamp the journalism major. Ivy League universities already incorporate social media statistics in marketing courses for business majors. But those are summer courses, or six-week intensive seminars.
Creating a comprehensive major that includes all of the newest forms of communication seems logical.
However, how much can a student majoring in Social Media actually learn within a platform that is constantly changing? Because it's so new, how many employers will take the major seriously? What do you guys think?

The North West Healthcare Science Network is constructed of many smaller organisational healthcare science networks. Each organisation has been asked to appoint an Organisational Lead Scientist (OLS). A summary table is provided below to show who the OLS is in the organisations that have so far identified them. A more detailed table showing, for example, PTP & STP activity etc is also available. The table indicates, to the best of our knowledge, whether organisations have an active local healthcare science network. Please contact Helen Liggett should you have any queries regarding the appointment of the OLS in your organisation or the status of the local healthcare science network within your organisation.
The North West Healthcare Science Network has recently revised the job description for the OLS and has produced a flyer for all network members to outline the North West Healthcare Science Network's priorities for 2014 – 2015 in line with Health Education England's North West Team priorities and national priorities.

Are you looking to trade? If your answer is "yes", then the RotoBaller.com Buy/Sell Weekly Article is where to find fice players of the week to Sell High and five guys to Buy Low.
You trade for one of two reasons:
- You need a shortstop, have an extra third baseman and someone has as extra shortstop. You trade a third baseman for a shortstop. Done.
- You have a player who is exceeding expectations. He is unlikely to keep it up, so you trade him for a position you need. Done
Sell 'Em
Let's take a look at a few players who have been playing above their levels of late, such that you should consider placing them on your trading block to see whether another owner in your league will pay full price for continuing production:
- Shin-Soo Choo – Choo is RED hot! He leads the league with 34 runs, currently has 9 HR and a ridiculous OBP of .468! He is a very tough player to let go. However, you can find similar stats to what he should produce rest-of-season. If someone will pay full price, take it.
- Chris Davis – Someone looking for some power might bite on Davis. He has performed well, with not much to suggest he will slide all that much, but if can you obtain another need, it makes sense to divest yourself of the hottest commodity in fantasy. Note: Davis has been on the Sell 'Em list twice and the Buy 'Em list as well.
- Alex Gordon – Gordon is a nice player who can put up some fantasy stats, however he is a career .273 hitter currently hitting .331; if you are looking to move someone, Gordon is an excellent candidate. He only has 6 HR, so assuming his BA goes diminishes, hits and homeruns diminish as well.
- Clay Buchholz – On the Sell 'Em for the second time (hopefully you didn't sell him when we last told you to). Buchholz is playing lights-out baseball, 60 K in 58 IP, with a 1.69 ERA. He has ace potential, but he's a very hot-and-cold player, and he is bound to hit a cold streak soon. Better to sell him before that depresses his value.
- Shelby Miller – How can you trade a guy who after over 51 innings pitched in 2013 owns a 0.88 WHIP? He has 65 career innings pitched, and since he's not Orel Hershiser in his prime, he probably cannot keep up this absurd pace. You can probably get a ton for Miller right now, making it as good as any time to pull the trigger.
Buy 'Em
And of course, we've got to look at some slumping guys who you should look to pick up from their frustrated owners for pennies on the dollar:
- R.A. Dickey – Dickey has not yet adjusted to the AL. 66% of his starts have been quality starts, and he is still getting batters to whiff on his knuckleball. While he will not be close to a Cy Young candidate, current Dickey owners might be wary of the switch to the AL and now is a good time to pull the trigger, especially because you may not have to give up that much.
- David Price – He's performed poorly and now he finds himself on the DL; that's a double low. Unless the Rays fall way out of it, this team is too scrappy to give up. I would expect that come the second half of the season, Price will light it up big time.
- Matt Kemp – Look, you should fully expect to have to pay to buy "low" on a talent like Kemp. But if you have the right pieces to work a deal, do it. He is batting a respectable .282 with 6 SB. His 1 HR is a concern, but hey, that's why he is on the "Buy 'Em" side. He will finish with better than 20 HR and over 30 SB.
- Yoenis Cespedes – He is in line for a monster year and he's already putting up the numbers to prove it. His .204 batting average is just why fantasy owners like YOU need to buy a guy like this. He will hit 30+ HR and around 100 RBI. You can figure out a way to afford a BA hit for production like that.
- Ryan Zimmerman – If you need a third baseman and have perhaps Alex Gordon or Chris Davis to pony up, do it now. Zimmerman is "struggling" in that he only has 1 HR. That will not remain the case; look for him to break out soon. In his last five games he is 8-for-18 with 6 RBI.
Do you have someone going on the DL? Did you do a 2-for-1 trade? Do you have someone you need to drop? And are looking for someone to pick up?

A Remarkable Journey. The Right Fork traverses across the Zion backcountry-scape to access a delightful canyon with a few raps and swims. For many people, finding the correct route is the crux. The first descent by Victor A Schmidt and company, June 29 – July 2, 1966 pioneered the intricate route still used today to avoid a long string of linked potholes in the Upper Right Fork (Right Fork Direct). They carefully studied aerial photographs and saw a series of potholes they thought would be beyond their limited technical experience. Many a modern adventurer, paying insufficient attention to the map and the route, has found themselves unexpectedly in technical terrain beyond their skills. Follow the route carefully. If you do not read and understand topographic maps, pick a different adventure.
The middle section of the canyon (between the turn southwest and double falls) is where the "goodies" are. The Grand Alcove and several lovely waterfalls are often the highlight of the trip, though many will also enjoy The Black Pool. Many parties bivy at the Grand Alcove where the first springs appear, offering high-quality water.
Two variations are available that add more technicality and more spice to the trip. The Hammerhead has six rappels that connect the West Rim trail with the Right Fork, and is the true start of the Right Fork drainage. The Upper Right Fork Direct goes directly through the series of potholes previously avoided so carefully – they turn out to be very fun, a bit wet and a bit technical. It is possible to bivy at the start of the Right Fork Direct in all but the driest conditions by pumping water from any of several large and persistent potholes.
Your Trip
There are several different ways of doing the Right Fork. Speed demons will get an early start and can run it in one day. A two-day trip requires an early start and only a quite-long first day gets you to the Grand Alcove; then the second day is rather casual. A three-day trip starting at the West Rim, taking the Direct Right Fork and bivying on ledges near the start of the Direct section, then bivying again at the Grand Alcove, makes for a delightful, relaxed trip. For small, competent parties, the Hammerhead entrance does not add time, but for large or inexperienced parties, working largish packs through numerous downclimbs and rappels can add two or three or four hours to your descent. The Direct section adds one or two hours to a Right Fork Trip, even for experienced canyoneers.
In all cases, the terrain traversed is rugged, and smaller packs will result in a faster trip. Pack light.

Same-sex marriage is now legal in Oklahoma after an announcement today from the U.S. Supreme Court. Geoff Brewster, Phillips Stewardship Director and newest Board member of Oklahomans for Equality, said today's news is cause for celebration.
"We are witnessing history in the making today in the great state of Oklahoma. Justice has been granted. Love has won," Brewster said. "Marriage equality is a reality in the heart of the Bible Belt. Today we get to bear witness to the work of the prophets who have gone before us, with the reminder that the work of the bringing kin-dom to earth is yet to be completed. Let's celebrate today, and continue the work to which we've been called."
Dr. Kathy McCallie, Director of the Doctor of Ministry program, shared her thoughts on today's victory during an interview with The Oklahoman. Click the link below to see a video about her interview.

Information Design and a bit of reflection.
Recently I gave a few workshops on InfoViz an introduction to infographics.
It proved popular which is great, there is defiantly an interest in 'making data pop'.
Being the first time I'd delivered such a workshop, there is a lot to work on. The evaluations I received from participants were expected, they wanted something more hands on with less theory.
This, unfortunately, I feel, is simply impossible in an hour and a half. All I can really do is cover some basics and help to inspire people. I focus on coding and then de-coding design principals so that they can start analysing how parts work together to make a gestalt whole. I guess my workshops are in-between a seminar and a workshop, focusing on group crits. Basically it's 'best practice' and I then offer routes for people to discover more.
Design, as a verb is a learnt practice. Design is a science. No one would teach chemistry in an hour. Teaching how-to is tricky due to technical constraints (i.e. learning the software) and time (there's no quick fix to making sense and communicating information) and design thinking (which is, in action - the design process (difficult to translate).
(when working through a design process with people and their data, often workshops are 2-3 days long - e.g. Francesco Franchi's Infographic Thinking workshop) which is one of the best I've seen.
My challenge as a teacher is to do the best I can, teach something practical and meaningful to people with no previous design knowledge. And to do this without it spiralling out into a design degree. I feel this will come with practice and working with feedback.
An ongoing challenge which seems to come up often, is what design is, and why it matters. On countless occasions when I explain my job to people they either a) stare blankly, b) assume I'm a fashion designer or c) ask what a Graphic Designer actually does. When I teach, the audience arrive with predispositions on what they think design is (often they think of it as purely aesthetic) and consequently believe it's something they can easily learn and master..I kinda feel like if you don't deliver on that belief then they inevitably feel let down.
The design discourse has always had issues communicating with a wider discourse, which is ironic (can we not just embrace inter/trans discipline approaches already?) Largely, I think it's driven by the audience experiencing the final solution without seeing the process of how that was arrived at. Also, the notion that great design is transparent in nature, invisible - means that the wider public, literally, cannot see the space design holds.
Being a designer is like being a magician. We play with perception, we play with experience.
