Two older ladies first trip to London was made so much easier with our driver. We felt very safe and secure. He met us and took over our bags, held the door, loaded our luggage, gave us inside information on the area we were going and was a total gentleman. I will request him when I am back in London. He was very professional.

I missed my flight connection. It took my driver 2 hours to get from Heathrow to Luton. The system should not allow booking when there is not enough time for the driver to get to the other airport.

American Society of Safety Engineers Offer Clean-Up Tips For Flood-Related Mold
Des Plaines, IL (July 1, 2008) — Mold grows easily in flood-related conditions, which include standing water, humid air and wet surfaces according to American Society of Safety Engineers' (ASSE) members. The longer these conditions remain, as in the current flooding in the Midwest, the more the mold growth can spread. To address this, ASSE offers the following tips to consider on how to clean-up mold and minimize its adverse effects. Individual circumstances are often unique so there is no one-size fits solution.
"For businesses, addressing mold and moisture after a flood disaster should be the first step to reduce the risk to others who may need to work in an affected building," said ASSE Regional Vice President and Assistant Director of School Plant Services, Environmental & Energy Management for the Virginia Beach City Public Schools James H. Morris, III
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that 'surfaces wet longer than 48 hours with "clean water" should be considered as potentially contaminated, and any surfaces in contact with "dirty water" should be considered contaminated.' ASSE members recommend that people consult their state and local experts for more guidance regarding state and local laws and regulations addressing mold.
In addition, to lessen the chances of a mold colony growing in a store/business, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that 1) the humidity level be kept below 50 percent; 2) an air conditioner or dehumidifier be used during humid months (depending on the climate); 3) adequate ventilation, including exhaust fans, in the kitchen and bathrooms, be used; 4) to add mold inhibitors to paints before applying them; 5) bathrooms be cleaned with mold-killing products; and, 6) not to put carpeting in bathrooms, basements, or other areas where moisture or water could be a concern.
Mold, ASSE members note, is a group of microscopic fungi, which also includes mildew and other organisms that rot materials on which they grow. Molds can often be invisible to the eye. A blotch of black, gray, white, red, orange, yellow, blue or violet fuzzy or slimy growth is usually the result of widespread mold growth. Besides infection and allergic reactions, excessive mold growth indoors can result in offensive, musty odors from the gases released by certain molds as they grow and die.
Morris added, "All mold cleanup operations individuals should wear proper personal protection equipment, which includes gloves, goggles and a respirator. However, the type of respirator varies on the size of the mold-affected area."
ASSE offers the following tips for cleaning a facility/building area affected by mold:
· Avoid direct contact with affected mold areas as much as possible.
· If it can be thrown away, throw it away. Replacements may be less expensive in the long term (and short term) than attempting to decontaminate some surfaces.
· If it cannot be disposed of, decontaminate and then dry as thoroughly as possible. Moisture removal is a key factor to preventing future growth.
· Wallboard can often be cut to the point of contamination replaced with new sections.
· Clean all tools after use, or dispose if possible, and also clean tools after each shift.
· When in doubt about the structural integrity of a facility, obtain an evaluation by a licensed and qualified builder or structural engineer before entering. Medical clearance may also be necessary based upon the severity of mold in the area.
· Individuals involved in mold remediation should be aware that attempts to mix chemicals to clean surfaces can cause further damage, such as the toxic gases that can be released when ammonia and bleach are mixed. Workers need to exercise caution, so as not to create additional hazards. The power supply (circuit breakers) should be turned off in the specific damaged areas/ high levels of moisture to avoid electrical shock hazards.

Betty Sprocket, professor emeritus of the Skinny Tires Department of the University of New Bikexico, is here to lecture you about Albuquerque's many magnificent bike trails.
There's a U.S. Air Force Base in the middle of Seoul, South Korea. If the myths of the American expatriate community are to be believed, they've got a Taco Bell in there. After three or four months of nothing but gim, bap and gimbap, I've witnessed otherwise-reasonable American civilians so thirsty for Fire Sauce they start to plan insurrections and armed raids. While I was in Seoul, my craving for Enchiritos never reached such a fever pitch, but I finally understood that urge to overthrow the government this morning when I went to ride my bike out by Kirtland Air Force Base.
Jeez, you guys, I'm runnin' out of trails. For this, my penultimate week on the bike path beat, I had to search the map and my soul to find one I haven't already written about. I couldn't remember ever having been on Paseo de las Montañas, and I couldn't exactly figure out why. The map showed it intersecting Tramway just south of Candelaria, a stretch of road I've traversed too many times to count. How could it be that I'd repeatedly ridden past an inviting bike-only turnoff without ever even noticing it? The answer is that there is no inviting bike-only turnoff. I made a couple of increasingly bewildered circuits on Tramway's western shoulder before giving up and hauling my bike through the grass until I found the trail.
"Dammit, Sprocket," panted my buddy Drew as I mushed him down Rio Bravo like a sled dog. "Why do I always get more than I bargained for when I hang out with you?" Our leisurely Saturday ride on the Paseo del Bosque turned into a militaristic crusade after a conversation with another cyclist at a rest stop about our mutual loathing for backtracking. "If you don't want to turn around here," he advised us, "go down Rio Bravo. You can get all the way out to Paseo del Volcan. It's great out there."
"Gross," quoth my boyfriend when I told him I'd be riding and writing on Tramway Boulevard this week. "That road is home to the most aggro asshole cyclists in the whole city. I'll never understand why they insist on riding on the shoulder when a dedicated bike path is just 50 feet away."
Mmm, how about those gravid gray rain clouds lately? August, our wettest month, is nigh. When that musty creosote tang is in the air, a low sun shining under the numinous pillar of a classic anvil-shaped thunderhead, I always feel inspired to buy a blank canvas and demonstrate my searing love for the desert monsoon season by painting an extremely trite watercolor landscape. Alas, nothing that springs from the brush of Sprocket will ever be worthy of even the shittiest Old Town gallery, so I choose to express myself through the medium of bike rides.
Dudes, I'm serious when I say "skinny tires." The velocipede between my legs is a single-speed street bike, so when someone suggested I get off the asphalt, I was like, ew. But then I was all, hmm. I've never been mountain biking ever. Why? It's scary. I'm not x-treem enough. I could fall into a cholla or succumb to derailleur angst. And dirt and granite just tend to clash with my cute spandex threads.
"May 7, 1990. Dear diary, today we (me Dad Li'l Bro) went on a huge huge bike ride 14 miles it was so so fun. We went on one of those bridges across the highway. When we were done we went to this place called '20 Carrots' and got a milkshake! PS All the waitresses wear earrings in their nose. Hoop and diamond."
Ah, Grandaddy Paseo del Bosque, that 16-mile behemoth that stretches all the way from Alameda in the north to Rio Bravo in the south. The best, most perfectly car-free artery in the entire city. The trail so epic that we're only going to talk about half of it this week.
Now here's a random one for you. Surf over to easytomiss.org/trail_map and find the Double Eagle Trail. It's that isolated green stretch on the northwest edge of the map. This trail is hard to find and not conveniently linked to any major bike thoroughfares. But, if you're packing a reasonably sized set of huevos and a soupçon of wherewithal, there's a great ride to be ridden out there. You can approach the trail on westbound Montaño or via my preferred route, northbound Unser. The Unser trail gets pretty awkward near the end, merging with the asphalt of the autobahn and narrowing perilously just as it launches into a punishing uphill slope. You can handle it. Huevos.

How to be a movie or TV extra
You won't get rich and you won't see your name in lights, but being a film extra is one way to see yourself on screen and make a little money for your trouble.
OK, this isn't very personal finance-y but I found it fascinating. A few years ago, while I was working at Northrop Grumman, I was helping organize an event where current and former Northrop employees came back and talked about a variety of issues. The session I was helping with discussed work life balance.
I met a man who told me that his current retirement hobby was being an extra in movies. As it turns out, he was one of the extras in the wedding scene in Wedding Crashers. That scene was filmed on the eastern shore of Maryland.
Being an extra, as he explained, was mostly about having fun and "being in a movie." The pay is terrible. The work is unreliable. And even if you were a "full time extra" and managed to get work 40 hours a week, you still wouldn't be able to support yourself. Ever since I heard him talk about his retirement hobby, I've been fascinated with what it took to be an extra.
So, I started researching.
How to Become an Extra
There's a joke that every aspiring actor in New York has been in an episode of Law and Order. That's because the original series started airing in 1990 and there have been half a dozen spin-offs (SVU first starting airing in 1999 and has over 300 episodes), so there have been plenty of opportunities!
Although extra opportunities exist wherever filming is going on, there's more of it in cities like Los Angeles and New York. You find work by scouring the trades, backstage.com, craigslist, newspapers, and sign up with local and regional casting agencies (if you're serious, this will cost you a little bit of money -- be concerned if that's more than $20).
How Much You Are Paid?
The world of extras is split into two groups -- those in the Screen Actors Guild and those not in the Screen Actors Guild. If you aren't in SAG, you can get anywhere from absolutely nothing to minimum wage. SAG members get paid based on the negotiated schedule, which is significantly more than minimum wage.
How do you get into the SAG? You are either a "principal performer" (which you won't be) or you get hired as a SAG extra for three days. How do you get hired as a SAG extra when you aren't in the SAG? Every production needs to hire at least 30 SAG extras as part of their negotiated agreement and sometimes the SAG extra doesn't show up. Or they're late and they need to start filming. When they hand out the 30 SAG vouchers, you need to try to snag one. You'll get paid more, you'll get a day credit, and when you get three you'll be able to join the SAG!
Joining SAG-AFTRA
Joining SAG gets you better pay for being an extra (instead of minimum wage), but it's pricey. The one-time initiation is $3,000 with annual dues of $198. You also pay 1.575% of covered earnings of up to half a million dollars. But joining does get you access to that better pay!
Smart Spending on the go: Get our app for Android or iPhone
(Incidentally, the chat with the former Northrop employee only stoked my interest in it. The fascination probably started when they filmed Smart People in and around my alma mater, Carnegie Mellon. I still remember the fake snow on the grass when they were filming in the spring.)
Have you ever been an extra in a TV show or movie? Ever been in a commercial? How'd you get the gig?

The second movie was "October Sky" (originally meant to be titled "Rocket Boys"). This was a general cattle call with hundreds of ppl showing up on the advertised day at the advertised time. The application process wasn't much. Name, address, phone number and a recent photo. Someone had a polaroid camera on hand at the event and I paid $10 to get an instant pic. I turned it in and waited a few days. I got a call back, and I was originally cast as one of the teachers, a suit was chosen for me, and I was told to get a '50s style haircut at one of two barber shops. When I showed up on the first day of shooting that I was scheduled for, they re-cast me as on of the police officers who arrest Jake Gyllenhall. Nine or 10 days of a actual shooting days that involved me, $75 a day, and great catering. Again amazing to watch all of the behind the scenes stuff that goes on.

The Problem
"The arts belong to everyone." That conviction of The Wallace Foundation's co-founder, Lila Wallace, has defined the foundation's longstanding efforts to combat declining rates of participation in the arts so that more people experience arts' benefits.
How We Are Tackling It
Our audience development strategy emerges from the idea that if arts organizations design audience-building techniques based on reliable data and analysis, they will be better able to cultivate more participation in the arts. The Wallace Excellence Awards initiative, therefore, supports exemplary arts organizations in six cities to craft and try out ways to reach more people, and also provides them with expert assistance in data use and thinking through a strategy. A crucial part of the initiative is to learn from the audience-building work of our grantees, find out what works and what doesn't, and disseminate that information so many other arts groups can benefit from the lessons. Wallace has published the first four in a series of reports documenting the successes and challenges the arts organizations have faced in their efforts . In each city, we've also created "learning networks" in which our grant recipients and other arts organizations come together to share ideas about how to build participation in the arts – and raise the visibility of the issue. Since 2006, grants have gone to 54 arts organizations in Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle.
Some of the Research Informing Our Work
Our approach is grounded in principles laid out in two landmark Wallace-commissioned RAND Corporation reports. A New Framework for Building Participation in the Arts suggests that building arts participation refers to one or more of three activities: "broadening" audiences (increasing their size); "deepening" them (enriching the experience of participants); or "diversifying" them (bringing new groups into the fold). Gifts of the Muse concludes that all the broader social benefits of the arts stem from people's individual, rewarding encounters with art – and that arts organizations need to find ways to introduce more people to those experiences.
Wallace has supported hundreds of arts organizations in its grant making. Our most recent initiative, the Wallace Excellence Awards, begun in 2004 and re-designed in 2006, aims to get more people more engaged in the arts. Wallace funding of about $65 million has included support for: projects in six cities by 54 arts organizations that received Wallace Excellence Awards to broaden, deepen or diversify their audiences; expert assistance to those organizations in matters such as how to measure the progress of their projects; local efforts to inform the grantees and other arts organizations about what is being learned through the work; and the publication of several reports.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - A student at Hoggard High School gave birth to a baby Tuesday in the bathroom of the school nurse's office.
Valita Quattlebaum, spokesperson for New Hanover County Schools says the baby was born around 3:30 in the afternoon---around the time school was letting out for the day.
"The school nurse assisted and acted heroically helping the student and the baby into the ambulance to go to the hospital," Quattlebaum said.
Quattlebaum did not know whether the baby was a boy or a girl. She also did not give any information on the student.

Our Two Cents
With the exception of a few brands, there are not very many tail bags that look good on sport bikes. The Rapid Transit Recon 23 Tail Bag is functional and it looks good on just about every sport bike out there. The Recon 23 has Four adjustable bungee mounting straps, you will have several mounting options depending on your motorcycle (bungee straps tuck away when bag is not in use). Equipped with a shoulder strap for carrying convenience, audio ready with the integrated waterproof gate feature for your headphone cord, and Scratchguard material to protect the motorcycle. The manufacturer claims this bag has reflective features but I hit this bag with light and it was not as reflective as I expected, I believe having reflective material on the rider or the bike is far more effective.

Get out and grow
Starting seedlings: sun, wind and cold can hurt growth
By Michelle Ensinger
Although you can control your light, heat, humidity and temperature factors when starting seedlings indoors, remember that sun, wind and cold can kill seedlings or set them back if they are not hardened off properly.
Hardening-off is a technique not only to toughen them off by thickening succulent leaves which causes them to build food reserves, but introduces the plants to their new environment.
About a week or so before you plan on introducing the plants into your garden, you can use a cold frame or a protected area outdoors to start the process. Cool soil conditions and late frosts take their toll with new plants. The plants must be brought in every night.
The first step is to water them less often during the previous week before you start transplanting and allow to dry out slightly between waterings. During this last week, do not feed the plants. If possible, the temperature should be a few degrees cooler than what the plants have been accustomed to.
If you are growing plants in flats, use a sharp knife to cut between the seedlings � from left to right and back to front. Leave the plants in their cube shapes and do not disturb them from the flat. These plants need to be left undisturbed before planting them outside.
After a week or so of cooler temperatures, reduced watering and feeding, your seeds are ready to be exposed to the outside conditions. Start by exposing them to the filtered northside of your home, a shaded tree/bush or somewhere protected.
This area should be protected from wind and high sun as the seedlings can dry out quickly and winds can break stems and move the seed around which can cause root damage.
In the first week, leave them outside for about an hour in the morning or early afternoon, and gradually increase the exposure time until the end of seven to 10 days by which time they can withstand the full sun (if they are sun loving plants).
During this process, they will need watering almost every day as sun and wind exposure will dry them out.
The best day to plant your new seedlings is on a warm, cloudy day as it allows them time to recover and put on growth before they have to carry on photosynthesis and withstand the sun and wind.
Remember to write down your daily seedling routing, planting of the seeds, hardening off time, transplanting time, etc. In doing this you will have a good idea for next year in how the weather conditions vary from year to year.
Although many plants grow well in cool temperatures, others are very sensitive to soil and weather coolness.
As transplanting is very stressful to plants, the more you can ease the process the better chance the plants has for survival. First of all, dig an ample size hole for each seedling�s root system. A rich composted bed or adding compost to the hole when planting then adding in some garden soil, helps prevent the root system from drying out or becoming crusty after heavy rains.
The seedlings need to be watered (plus I add some liquid kelp into the water) before transplanting. Try to keep as much soil around the root system as possible. If too much soil drops off, I make a slurry of thick muddy water and dip the roots into this to ensure they don�t dry out.
When planting in the hole, ensure that the roots are not too tight inside the soil ball � loosen very gently if they are � and spread out the roots so that they do not keep wrapping around itself.
When the seedling is in the hole, fill with loose, well tilled (fluffy) soil, and ensure that each seedling gets roughly one quart of water and gently firm the soil around the root system to eliminate all air bubbles and pockets of air, in order for the roots to be in contact with the soil and there will not be any root-drying spaces. Create a saucer-like depression to catch water so that it will be directed towards the root system.

We enjoyed our brief stay at the Albion Inn very much. The innkeeper, Cyd, was very welcoming and easy to talk with. She was available for lively conversation, but did not hover or push. Breakfast was delicious and made from organic foods. While the food was good, my favorite part of breakfast was the conversation with Cyd and the other guests after the meal. I've never stayed at a b and b before this trip, and I enjoyed the sit down breakfast much more than I expected to. The room was icely decorated, but somewhat small for me and my friend. We had a room with two twin beds ( that could also be one king bed). While the room was pleasant and airy, with views of the beautiful gardens, the beds were kind of bouncy and shook from side to side when you moved. My friend actually fell out of hers when she first tried to get on it. Other than this, it was a perfect stay. We had use of common areas, including a TV room, sitting room, dining room, and a small fridge for guests in a kitchenette. There was even a special faucet for hot water for tea, as well as a guest coffee maker. There was also a computer available and free wiFi.We enjoyed the garden, the art work ( mostly made by one of the innkeepers, and for sale), and the atmosphere of the place. Most of all, we enjoyed the intelligent conversation and accommodating nature of our innkeeper. We had to leave before breakfast time on our last day, and they actually packed us a hearty and healthy breakfast for the road. I don't know if all bed and breakfasts are like this, but I was really blown away by this place.

walkthroughs often help you navigate (we usually try to include them and 07cbdj will often include them in the comments if we missed it) and there are some crude translator tools out there that work for some games but I usually just wing it, I play mostly for the art or the RPG gameplay (if I have the time to put in) many of the games are just cycling through the text and making a few choice moves along the way. It's not as difficult as it may seem but unless you can read Japanese your not really going to be able to enjoy the story.

The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage has embarked on a new project, Push Me, Pull You, which investigates various issues surrounding (co-)authorship in cultural production. They asked MiJin Hong of the GLI to explore what co-authorship means in a management context, such as when it might apply to museums. Pew's introduction continues: "If we expect that artists usually create work as individuals, we usually expect the same of organizations—we look to museums and theaters and dance companies to be autonomous, self-funding, self-directing entities that are dedicated to following their missions and their own programmatic vision. So what would it look like for an organization to collaborate with people outside its walls on its own management, its strategy, and its decision-making, in the same way that the artists you've read about in this series have done?"
MiJin responds by considering the opportunities presented by co-authorship through the lens of entrepreneurship: "First, let's begin by trying to fully understand the following: 'Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled.' —Howard Stevenson, Harvard Business School professor. Perhaps this sounds familiar. Is this not the case for museum leadership? After all, in the museum field, institutions are largely driven by unfunded ambitions. Stevenson's classic definition of entrepreneurship may offer some potential insights into the lives and pursuits of many leaders in the cultural sector today. His definition is more or less about a practice, a kind of orientation—a mindset. He goes on to say that entrepreneurs 'see opportunity and don't feel constrained from pursuing it because they lack resources…they're used to making do without resources.' And the outflow of entrepreneurship is observed organizationally as anti-hierarchical: quick and nimble teams that enable fast decision-making. The 'currency' used and received by all is largely driven by sharing in the vision…" Read MiJin's full piece on the PCAH site, then come back here to join in the conversation online.

You drive the SRT everyday??? Wow. How far is your daily commute? Mine is about 80miles round trip so thats another reason I got the RT, but so far I've been driving my SUV daily and the RT on weekends.
I drive mine daily, weather permitting. No snow, no salt. But it has been in quite a few rainstorms, some were very heavy.
It is pretty fun when I pull into my kids preschool parking lot with it. It is a sea of gray and beige minivans or SUV's, and here I come in the bright orange, 6 speed, muscle car! All the kids keep yelling out "hey look at the orange car" to their parents...
Summer weekends only.
When i found out 2010 was the last year for Hemi-Orange i quickly started looking and found this one on Jan.2011
Toxic orange R/T drive it everyday, one year old in a small town and it still turns heads wherever it goes. I get more nods, thumbs up and waves than I have in any other car I have ever owned! dyankee

The Dallas Stars' coaching search appears to be heating up.
TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reported on Thursday that the Stars have already spoken to veteran bench boss Lindy Ruff about their head coaching vacancy and TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie added that they will also be speaking to former Vancouver Canucks head coach, Alain Vigneault.
McKenzie also tweeted that the Stars will be interviewing Willie Desjardins, who has been coaching the organization's AHL affiliate, and will check in on Dallas Eakins, the current head coach of the Toronto Marlies.
In other coaching news, McKenzie tweeted that Ruff and Paul Maurice may get a look from the Canucks, who have already talked with Eakins about their head coaching vacancy.
Meanwhile, Mark Messier could be a candidate to take over for the recently fired John Tortorella in New York. McKenzie said that the general sense is if Messier is interested in coaching the Rangers, he cannot be ruled out as a candidate.
The Edmonton Oilers considered Messier after letting go of Tom Renney as head coach and before committing to Ralph Krueger in the off-season last off-season.

'Chasing Lincoln's Killer'
Published on Monday, June 3, 2013 - 2:42pm
The date: April 14, 1865. Washington D.C. was still celebrating the surrender of the Confederacy at Appomattox the week before. Abraham Lincoln and his Cabinet were developing plans for reconstruction when his second term ended at the hands of John Wilkes Booth and his derringer pistol. The rest, as they say, is history.
Chasing Lincoln's Killer by James Swanson, an adaptation of his previous book: Manhunt: The Twelve Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer, tracks the movements of John Wilkes Booth and his conspirators on their road to infamy. What had started out as a kidnapping plot had escalated to murder, with Wilkes and his co-conspirators attacking the heads of government: Andrew Johnson (the Vice President), William H. Seward (Secretary of State and Lincoln's close advisor), and Ulysses S. Grant (commanding general of the Union Army).
|Map of John Wilkes Booth and David Herold's escape route, courtesy of Wikimedia Commons.
After killing the president, Booth and Davey Herold started a 12-day journey that would end violently in a barn outside of Fredericksburg, Va. Along the way, Booth sought and received assistance from others, from Dr. Mudd binding his leg to Thomas Jones getting Booth and Herold into Virginia. Out of those that aided Booth, only Dr. Samuel Mudd would be sent to prison. While on the run, Booth kept a close eye to the media, believing that assassinating these four leaders would throw the United States into chaos and allow the Confederacy to resume its efforts. resulting in Booth lauded as the savior of the American Republic.
John Wilkes Booth would be sorely disappointed. Though Booth was successful in assassinating President Lincoln, he was the only conspirator successful in his efforts. George Atzerodt, the assassin that was to be responsible for assassinating the Vice President chickened out (he would still be hanged for conspiring with Booth and the others), and Lewis Powell failed in killing Seward, though the attacks against Seward and his family caused the Secretary of State to bear the scar of his assassin's efforts for the rest of his life.
Swanson does his job as a historian and author. It is hard not to become completely engrossed in this book. However, there is something missing: a bibliography. Though Swanson includes pictures throughout the book, there is no bibliography of researched materials. However, a complete bibliography can be found at the end of Manhunt.
Suggestions for emerging history buffs include: Assassination Vacation (for those that like their history with a humorous twist), Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, (for those that want to learn about Lincoln and his administration), and Bloody Times: the Funeral of Abraham Lincoln and the Manhunt for Jefferson Davis (for those that want to learn about what came after).

Dragon Age Anime Movie Slated for Next Year
BioWare and FUNimation Entertainment will be collaborating on an anime movie adaptation of well regarded fantasy RPG Dragon Age. Production of the Dragon Age anime movie is slated to begin this month with a home video release in 2011. Executive producing the film are BioWare's Executive Producer Mark Darrah and Creative Director Mike Laidlaw, as well as FUNimation's president and CEO Gen Fukunaga and Director of Original Entertainment Chris Moujaes. Dragon Age has been selected as the first title in FUNimation's slate of major anime movies to be developed through FUNimation's Original Entertainment team since the announcement of the company's co-production initiative in November 2009. "Dark heroic fantasy" Dragon Age: Origins, reminiscent of works like George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, allowed the player to explore the history of a Human Noble, Mage, Dalish Elf, City Elf, Dwarf Commoner or Dwarf Noble before taking control of a Grey Warden in their campaign to revived Darkspawn.

Kind of Encouraged . . .
by Dave I
I haven't played Dragon Age, however I like that they are still trying to perfect the video game to movie transfer. There are some amazing stories in video games and most haven't transferred well. For the games I have played, I don't NEED to see them on the big screen, but I would certainly enjoy them done well (cough**SilentHill2**cough**ShadowoftheColossus**cough), as well as some of the games I haven't played but whose storylines interest me. Also, you could get to see some different takes on classic scenes or encounters. I also like that they seem willing to do things like direct-to-video since they're going to be less-risky than full-blown intended blockbuster movies. It might also avoid them flooding the theatres with every possible video game incarnation, as well as letting them have more freedom to be true to the source and their artistic vision and less tied to conventions of movie-making that have become unfortunate staples in a lot of video game movies.

With HBO making a Game Of Thrones series as we speak. Just about everything in the Dragon Age world was very liberally borrowed from George R.R. Martin's books. The Grey Wardens which are based on the Night Watch, the Blood Magic, the whole bastard child who can inherit the throne bit, just about everything. I loved Dragon Age because it's the closest thing we'll ever get to a Game of Thrones game but also because it was very, very good. I'm just not sure there's anything really original to offer as far as story goes.

Stiff winds buffeting Governor Markell as he hits the road for Town Hall meetings
The last few weeks have not been kind to Governor Markell
Yes, a few victories, such as saving the Port of Wilmington's Dole business and some other job creation, but the Governor has run into some stiff headwinds:
E. Norman Veasey, the independent prosecutor chosen by state Attorney General Beau Biden to explore campaign finance irregularities, is trying to find out if Governor Markell or anyone in his 2008 gubernatorial campaign coached donors into making illegal campaign contributions, or had any knowledge of those donations.
Until recently, Delaware's official unemployment rate was running beneath the national rate. No longer.
After studying data on the housing market, industrial production, and unemployment, Moody's Analytics declared Delaware the only state in the union still at risk of tumbling back into recession. Whether that analysis is correct or not, it tends to create a vicious circle for Delaware as the Delaware Economic Development Office (DEDO) under Alan Levin tries to woo new businesses to Delaware.
You also have the lingering wounds from funding packages offered to Fisker Automotive and even Bloom Energy.
Given Delaware's less than stellar economic outlook, Governor Markell's overseas trade missions have also come under fire, particularly a recent trip to Israel which cost taxpayers about $62,000. The state ended up subsidizing the expenses for some business leaders after the Governor's office said they'd pay for it themselves. More glaringly, the Governor's press secretary Cathy Rossi accompanied the Governor on that trip at taxpayers' expense, along with her husband, part of Markell's security team.
(Some will say some or all of the above is the inevitable consequence of one-party dominated government in Delaware. Yet, while one can imagine a fierce struggle to be the Democratic nominee for governor - even another Dem primary as we saw in 2008 - it remains an open question whether the Republicans can produce a big-name candidate -- or even be competitive.)
So in this climate, the Governor had decided to hold three, Town Hall-type meetings up & down the state under the title, "Conversations with the Governor -- Moving Delaware Forward." Undoubtedly, the state's economic position will dominate, but it'll be interesting to see if any of these other subjects comes up.
Tuesday, September 17th, 7:00 P.M.: Delaware Tech - Dover campus -- Corporate Training Center -- Room 400
Thursday, October 3rd, 6:30 P.M.: Cape Henlopen High School, Lewes

Mon, Sep 16, 2013 9:11am
This might be the time where IF the Delaware G.O.P. were smart [and that's a big IF], the Delaware G.O.P. could find a MODERATE Republican candidate and run him/her for Governor in 2016. I believe many in the state are getting tired of these DEM solutions where WE the taxpayers pay, and get NO reults, and those who received the money don't pay it back. Bluewater Wind, Fisker, and Astra-Zeneca definitely come to mind. Also that Delmarva Power deal during Minner's time [another DEM governor] where she and her minions tried to lure other electric companies here [Golly, it failed in California before we tried it; what made them think tiny Delaware would do better if it wouldn't work in the nation's most populous state?]. Then when it did fail here, our electric rates nearly doubled in one fell swoop; plus other "great", get-rich-quick schemes where we the taxpayers have been taking it on the chin and the corporate big-shots get a pass, as do our Governor and Legislative folks, who never seem to have to pay for their mistakes. So the mistakes just keep on comin' and we just keep on sendin' them back to Dover to do it again. So who are the dummies here???
But the key for GOP success is a MODERATE Republican, NOT some TEA party/Christine O'Donnell type, but more like a Chris Christie, Russ Peterson, or Mike Castle-type Republican. I believe the G.O.P. could regain the Governorship IF the party plays its cards correctly and don't allow the extremists from down-state to control who the Del G.O.P. picks for a candidate. The Del G.O.P. might be able to start swinging things more their way in Delaware, IF they don't try to make this Texas or Alabama, but remember this is Delaware, a moderate blue state.
Mon, Sep 16, 2013 10:06am
I agree, Mike, that this is an ideal time for Republicans to make their move. But I fear a candidate will have to come from the outside, much like Russ Peterson. Unless someone should emerge during the 2014 election, we would be better off selecting someone from industry or education to make the run. Any candidate with strong ties to either the Tea Party or the moderate wing is doomed to failure.
I do not fault the governor for taking his press secretary (what an outdated term � news secretary is far more appropriate since there really isn�t a �press� anymore). I also understand the taxpayers picking up the tab for some business leaders. The governor needed them along for the trip to make sense. But I do oppose the trips in general, believing he would make better use of funds if he courted state-side business, much as Governor Rick Perry is doing. But Governor Markell is paving the way for his future, not the best future of the state.
Mon, Sep 16, 2013 10:18am
Both of your arguments boil down to the statement that Republicans need to run someone who is does not act like a Republican...
Republican philosophy and everything Republicans stand for is an abomination. The Tea Party - which both of you despise and recognize as the reason Delaware is now a one-party state - actually embodies Republican principles far better than any other Republican.
The Republican philosophy - and everything it stands for - is a loser. Other than that, Republicans are pretty decent people.
Mon, Sep 16, 2013 10:23am
As for Markell, I wish him luck, but his performance this past term since his staff was reshuffled makes me believe his inner circle is lacking in imagination, experience, and creativity. Without being cruel, this administration is winding down just like Happy Harry's did before it was sold.
Mike from Delaware
Mon, Sep 16, 2013 10:56am
Kavips: You said to run someone who doesn't act like a Republican; I disagree. I said someone who doesn't act like a TEA party person. The moderate wing of the G.O.P. [the Russ Peterson's, the Mike Castle's, and today's Chris Christie) were all Republicans, but not the ultra-right-wing types. There IS a difference.
JimH's point might be the ticket for a G.O.P. victory. Getting someone from industry to run. There was a time when the G.O.P. had hoped to have Alan Levin of Happy Harry's fame run for Governor. The DEL G.O.P. thought it knew better and nominated someone else [forget his name] and once again gave the Governor's house went to the DEMS.
Allan Loudell
Mon, Sep 16, 2013 11:26am
Keep in mind, Mike, Alan Levin saw the coming Democratic tidal wave and WITHDREW himself from consideration BEFORE he ever announced for Governor.
Retired Judge Bill Lee agreed to run when no one else of any stature would toss his/her hat into the ring, with Charlie Copeland running for Lieutenant Governor. This was NOT an instance of the Tea Party nominating one of its own.
Allan Loudell
Mon, Sep 16, 2013 12:14pm
Glen Urquhart maybe?
Mike from Delaware
Mon, Sep 16, 2013 3:07pm
Thanks for the updated info, Allan.
I didn't realize, or more likely, have forgotten, Levin had dropped out.
IF I remember correctly, the first time Judge Lee ran for Governor, the G.O.P. didn't pick him [the election before - 2004], and they should have. Judge Lee was well-liked, because he was the judge who was the judge for the Tom Capano case.
Mike from Delaware
Mon, Sep 16, 2013 3:16pm
EarlGrey: Glenn Urquhart seemed like a decent guy, but I seem to remember a film clip of him circulating around during whatever election that was [on You Tube??], with him backing some point-of-view of the Nazi's [I'm sure Kavips and/or Billsmith will remember that to which I'm referring.]
That sort of stupid statement [even if taken out-of-context] might have the political impact of Mitt Romney's 47% remark... probably making it much more difficult for Glenn to win a statewide election as the DEMS would have a field day with such a comment. As I remember, it seemed pretty damaging, when I heard the comment, and I was shocked he said it and disappointed that he had such a belief.
Sorry, I just don't remember what it was he said. But THAT issue would need to truly be explained in a very open way, which might not be possible. So if I were the G.O.P., I might want to avoid Mr. Urquhart as my candidate.
Mon, Sep 16, 2013 8:20pm
So what does Markell care about "stiff winds"? He's in his second term and can't run for a third, so what does he have to lose unless he plans to challenge Carney or Coons in the next Democratic primary?
Tue, Sep 17, 2013 4:15am
Urquhart has run too many times and lost; would not be a good candidate.
It is too soon to tell. The best option is for a new party to open and steal the real conservatives. That would put Republicans again in the center. From that point they could steal conservatives not happy with the hard conservative line, and steal Democrats not happy with the hard progressive line.... All three parties would equal out based on the voting numbers and would have to work together. The Dems and Republicans would go along on business interests, and the Teas and Republicans would go along on social issues....
You would have a conservative leaning state rather quickly if we added a conservative party. As for anyone person having enough charisma to unite the two groups of Republicans, forget about it. Can't be done.
Tue, Sep 17, 2013 4:20am
Tying a loose thread above. Mike: you said the Republicans should run a Peterson, Castle, or Chris Christie type. Problem is.. they did. He (Castle) didn't have the votes to win in a primary. Those who voted O'Donnell are still anti Moderate Republicans. You should hear them call everyone a RINO, still.
Mike from Delaware
Tue, Sep 17, 2013 8:40am
Kavips: One detail you've forgotten. During that election campaign, the mouthpiece for the ultra-right-wing side of the G.O.P. on the radio nationally [elRushbo] had encouraged his minions to change their registrations from G.O.P. to DEM so they could vote in DEM primaries to mess them up. As I recall it was called Operation Chaos.
Why O'Donnell won the nomination is that [I believe Allan reported this way back then in an interview during his midday newsblock] that many of these G.O.P. folks in Delaware ended up shooting themselves in the foot, because as it turned out, the real primary of importance for Delaware was the Castle/O'Donnell primary battle. Those G.O.P. folks couldn't vote in THEIR primary and that left the decision to the hard-liners downstate who preferred the far more conservative O'Donnell to the moderate Castle. The dye was cast and Delaware lost a good, worthy person in Congress to serve Delaware, who voted with his party about 75-80% of the time vs. Chris Coons who votes with the DEMS 100% of the time.
I'm sure Allan can shed more light on this, and correct any misstatements I've made. I'm hoping I've remembered this correctly, but that was what I remember hearing on WDEL with Allan as to why Christine "I'm not a witch" O'Donnell won that primary.
So I believe that yes a moderate Republican like Castle, Russ Peterson, or a Chris Christie could win the Governor's Mansion in Dover.

The northern Delaware Republicans seeking to re-register as Democrats had different intentions.
For the most part, they weren't trying to create chaos within the Democratic Party, statewide or nationally. They just saw the real action in the Democratic Party, and wanted to vote for candidates they regarded as more appealing: Perhaps someone on the Democratic Presidential ballot but ESPECIALLY to vote for Jack Markell over John Carney in the Democratic gubernatorial primary. Remember: Markell came out of Newark High School, had gone to the highly regarded University of Chicago, and came from a business pedigree. Markell assembled a coalition of youthful liberals/progressives and Brandywine Hundred / Chateau Country Dems & (former) Republicans against the Democratic-establishment, labor-backed, Carney.
So these now former Republicans voted for Markell with real enthusiasm, and intended to vote for him again in November. It wasn't the Rushbo-inspired chaos.
Problem: Many of these folks never got around to re-register as Republicans (if that was their intention) in time to vote in the Castle/O'Donnell Congressional primary. Doubtless - just like Castle's OWN people - they had no idea that O'Donnell would become such a potent force, aided by the remaining downstate, staunchly conservative Republicans and out-of-state money. By the time it became apparent that O'Donnell could topple Castle (and to some people, that was never apparent, even days before the election), it was too late to switch party affiliations.
If Delaware had an open primary system - or allowed people to switch party affiliations up to primary election day - then perhaps Castle's forces could have mounted a last-ditch effort to re-register these people. But it was too late!
Actually it was REVERSE Rushbo chaos: The exodus of northern New Castle County Republicans from the Delaware G.O.P. had the obvious effect of swinging the Delaware Republican Party further to the right, and, of course, that would play into the hands of the ideological purists like Rushbo. Indeed, it was the Delaware G.O.P. that was at the receiving end of the chaos, as staunch downstate conservatives went to war with upstate, culturally less hardline G.O.P. leadership from New Castle County.

So I believe that yes a moderate Republican like Castle, Russ Peterson, or a Chris Christie could win the Governor's Mansion in Dover."
Mike: I agree with you on the type of Republican that can win in the blue state of Delaware...the two lower counties will not like the moderate, but they also don't have the numbers to run (and win) with a Tea Partier.
BUT, I don't think a moderate like Chris Christie, Mitt Romney, McCain, Dole or any other will beat Hillary in 2016.

Allan: Thank you for the rest of the story and the clarifications.
That explains quite well what happened and how we could end up with Christine O'Donnell as our Senatorial candidate. That was a lot more complicated than I had imagined.
EarlGrey: I'm not sure a right-winger would beat Hillary either. I must admit, I do like Rick Perry, but am not sure he could win. He surely wouldn't get Delaware's 3 electoral votes in 2016, as the First State will be "Hillary Country" if she's the candidate for the DEMS.

I see Allan answered Mike's question. I agree with that assessment. However, it was not a lot of people who switched. Maybe around 200? Would just add that as early as January that 2010 election year, one of Delaware's pundits who has an amazing accurate track-record predicted O'Donnell would win the primary and Chris Coons would win the General.. it was predicted in January. They got teased a lot until after the primary election... But they nailed it.
