- ―Nelson's catchphrase
Nelson Muntz is the main bully in The Simpsons. He is the leader of the bullies at Springfield Elementary School (despite being the youngest), although he is often seen independently of the other bullies, and is Bart Simpson's former arch-enemy (later one of his best friends). He is a 4th grader.
Biography Edit
Nelson was first shown as a bully and nemesis of Bart.[2] Over the years, he has terrorized virtually every kid in Springfield, and was even seen bullying teenagers (he once deliberately picked on Jimbo Jones and had once beaten Squeaky-voiced Teen). Nelson has a manner of showing up in awkward situations of surprise or misfortune and regularly pinpoint it by laughing at the concerned people ("Ha-haw!" became his catchphrase). When cornered about the awkwardness of those situations, Nelson usually gives a very reasoned explanation as to why he acted the way he did, sometimes even scientifically proving it ("See, epidermis means your hair, so technically it's true. That's what makes it so funny." though of course, "epidermis" means one's skin.)Nelson currently studies in the 4th grade, but was already a student when Bart came to school, which suggests that he may have repeated a couple years. As such, he mainly remains sceptical to Krabappel's remarks and laughs at nerds present in his class as he well knows all the correct answers to teacher's every question. School has gotten in a way to Nelson in that he learned to like deliberate things about some matters, such as history, for example, all while ignoring most of general education nerds are fascinated about. For gag purposes, Nelson was once or twice shown acting as a nerd himself, which is normally not within his character. As mentioned, Nelson has things he is specifically good at in school: he represents Japan in the school's Model UN club [3] and serves as a quarterback for the Pee-Wee school's football team (on one occasion he even catches his own pass and plows through the opposing team with extreme ease), which he almost single-handedly carried over the rivals at some point.[4] He also seemed to have a surprising amount of expertise on planning, as he tells Marge when she says she wants to take down Mixed Fighting that she'll need parents, sympathetic school officials and clergymen, a place to meet, snacks, staplers and a phonetree; (which he considers to be invaluable in regards to organizing a protest) to even have a chance at taking down an entire sport. Occasionally, he turns out to be a fan of many unexpected things, such as Andy Williams and Snow White. He is also an expert in the proper preparation of Huckleberries (Although he often quickly changes the subject to beating a kid up when one of the teachers or even Principal Skinner walks by, for unknown reasons.) and eats tadpoles for brunch and lunch.[5] Another time he was apparently a master of disguise, fooling even Bart and Ned Flanders.[6] Finally he was also depicted as having master answer sheets to various tests and assignments at school. He has an "office" located in a toilet stall where he has the answer sheets hidden in the toilet cistern.[7] In Loan-a Lisa, he starts his own business using the fifty dollars Lisa donated to him. In a video link, Nelson says that he used some of the money to treat his mother the way she deserves. In the same episode, he is very caring towards Lisa at the end as he makes up an excuse to hold her hand as they are rollerblading.
Nelson's choice of social ethics seems to sprout from edgy reasons and rules understood only to himself: when Bart (truthfully) claimed to have been Krusty the Clown's assistant, Nelson punched him in the stomach, saying: "That's for taking credit for other people's work!".[8] Nelson also hurt him after Bart wrecked Hitler's vehicle at a carnival ("You wrecked Hitler's car! What did he ever do to you?!"). Bart also got beaten for "Wasting teacher's valuable time!", after constantly raising his hand with the wrong answer to answer a question Mrs. Krabappel asked, and received pain for "Besmirching an innocent girl's name!" after trying to flaunt his relationship with Jessica Lovejoy to the other kids. Most of Nelson's behavior in this matter seems to come from a simple fact of being a bully and trying to find a punching ball to pummel for any reason good for him whatsoever. For example, when Milhouse claims to care about the environment in order to impress Lisa, Nelson stands over him with a fist raised and demands he "Say global warming is a myth!" Milhouse does so, and Nelson punches him telling him "That's for selling out your beliefs!" [9]
It is revealed that Nelson is of German descent.[10] However, he picks on Üter Zörker for being German, during a time when the town was in an anti-illegal immigrant hysteria, although he also may have done this to avoid being picked on for being German.[11] It is implied that he has Canadian and Irish cousins in The Simpsons as both counterparts have been shown on the show.Nelson's enigmatic personality had an impact on many individuals, notably some who try to find good traits in him, if any, and "convert" his demeaning character into whatever it is that they see in him. Edna Krabappel once tried to make a teacher's pet out of Nelson after he passed a test with A+. Bart was able to befriend him in order to gain popularity, notwithstanding their earlier conflict, which resulted in Nelson bullying Bart even harder at the end.[12] Lisa went out with Nelson for the same reasons, only to be persuaded that he will never change.[13] At some point Nelson teamed up with Martin and attempted to put him straight, therefore not all of his actions are mere intimidation.
After Season 10, Nelson became portrayed rather as an insecure teenager who is ashamed of his ways and beats kids out of fear that they will find out some piece of his biography he cherishes most, rather than out of fun and boredom. Since his father left the family at that time and Nelson remained with his mother, who is a drunken prostitute, he fears the judgment of others on this and dreams that one day his dad (whom he calls "papa") will come home. It is also possible Nelson may be gay or at least bisexual, because in the episode Smart and Smarter, after Nelson had just called Lisa gay, Lisa replies with, "People who accuse others of being gay are often covering up their own homosexuality." Then, Nelson leaps out the school bus and rolls down the road, saying, "Bullies rule!" Nelson also is revealed to wear diapers in the in Midnight Rx since he says he was grateful of Homer and Abe's drug smuggling since it cures his diaper rash.
Family Edit
Nelson's parents are Mr. Muntz and Mrs. Muntz. His grandfather is a Judge.[14]
Nelson lives in a dilapidated house with his mother, who he learned his trademark laugh from. The negligent Mrs. Muntz works on the fringes of the sex industry, either as a waitress at Hooters or in a topless bar.Although in "Brother from the same planet",Nelson's father appears,It is shown many times that Nelson's father abandoned him and his mother at an early age when he "went to pick up some cigarettes". Nelson's father appears as the children's soccer coach and awards Nelson with a free trip to Pele's Soccer and Acting School.[15]
At one time, Nelson is adopted by Marge Simpson. To get rid of him, Bart finds Nelson's father and brings him to meet Nelson. It turned out that he did not leave Nelson deliberately; he bit into a chocolate bar, not knowing it had peanuts and had an allergic reaction. Looking like the Elephant Man, he ran out of the store and encountered a circus that made him a part of its freak show. At performances, circus attendees threw peanuts at him, which perpetuated his reaction, never allowing him to return to normal. When the circus came through Springfield, Bart recognized him and brought him home to rid himself of Nelson (who had been taken into the Simpson home by Marge).[16] However, Nelson's reasons for wanting to hang out with Mr. Burns suggest that Nelson's father had either disappeared again or had died. It would stand to reason that his allergy killed him.
Relationships with others Edit
Fellow bullies Edit
As mentioned above, Nelson is shown to lead his fellow bullies. As well as having two cronies he calls The Weasels (who become rarely seen with him after earlier seasons), Nelson also teams up with Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney. However, Nelson is not seen with the bully trio very often, hinting that his friendship with them is superficial.
Nelson himself was subjected to a beating at the hands of Kearney and Jimbo at the racetrack when he used the word "guff" instead of swearing .[17] However, Nelson has shown to be a lot stronger than the other bullies, when protecting Bart[18] and in "Dial "N" for Nerder" when the other bullies' punches don't hurt nelson and he doesn't even notice them hitting him.
Victims Edit
Although in the first season and many seasons afterwards, Nelson seemed to be Bart's antagonist, he gradually moves through grudging respect to become Bart's friend, having become his "other best friend" besides Milhouse as said in The Debarted. Nelson once described Bart as having "spikey hair, soft kidneys, and always hitting himself". Although still prone to violence, he hangs out with Bart and his less popular friends such as Milhouse Van Houten and occasionally even common bullying target Martin Prince, more often than the bullies. However, Bart beats up Nelson in the episode,[19] smashing his head with a trash can and then smashing him against the wall. When Nelson replied 'Yes' to a question asked by Bart, Bart punched Nelson while the trash can was still on his head and Nelson had to answer 'Yes, sir.'
- Lisa Simpson
Nelson has many other moments where he displays his hidden good nature, such as his brief amorous relationship with Lisa. Although he cannot control his delinquent tendencies, he treats her with respect and even tries to change for her, although both of them realize that he is not being true to himself by doing so. Nelson kisses Lisa, only to be berated by Jimbo, Kearney, and Dolph, who believe that kissing girls is gay (despite the fact that Jimbo kissed Laura Powers). They stop dating when Lisa finds out that Nelson threw old coleslaw at Principal Skinner's house.[20] He also helps Lisa punish Sherri and Terri for tormenting Lisa about her butt. Their romantic relationship has been referred to several times throughout the series, most notably in the Season 22 episode, "Loan-a Lisa" in which Lisa invests in Nelson's business venture. The episode ends with Nelson taking Lisa rollerblading and the pair holding hands, hinting at a possible future romance. Nelson has even told God "If you don't bring my Lisa back ants will burn tonight". He as actually said this twice in the The Great Simpsina and in Lisa's Date with Density.
Martin Prince Edit
Another curious example of his "good side" is with Martin, a boy whom Nelson picks on perhaps more so than any other kid in town. Despite the utter cruelty, there are occasional hints that Nelson does not harbor any hate towards Martin, and only bullies him to maintain his 'tough guy' reputation. Both Nelson and Martin attend Space Camp and it is implied that Martin had helped Nelson quite a bit and the two may have been very friendly.[21] When it is believed that Martin has died after accidentally falling over a cliff, Nelson seeks out to learn the truth and find Martin's killers. When it is revealed that Martin is alive, Nelson mocks and punches him, but also states that he is glad Martin is not dead.[22] When Lisa tries to bribe him to not rat her out by offering to get back together with him, he denies it. While helping rescue the Springfield Lemon Tree, which is in the hands of some kids from Shelbyville, Nelson saves Martin from getting beaten up by a Shelbyville kid, even though he is clearly embarrassed by doing it, but did it so he could keep Springfield pride.[23]
Physical appearance Edit
Nelson has light brown hair and wears a short-sleeved light pink shirt with a light blue dirty, torn vest. Nelson's front teeth are false, and on a removable plate.[24]
Personality Edit
Although Nelson is a ruthless bully on the outside, he is a nice person deep inside. Although physically tough, Nelson is not always mentally tough, as shown in the episode "The Haw-Hawed Couple", where after he finds out Bart had been playing with Milhouse, Nelson finds tears in his eyes.
Nelson feels very bad about nobody liking him for who he is, and is extremely happy about new friends. He says that Bart had been a bad friend, as he took advantage of Nelson's protection but not actually liking Nelson.
Catchphrases Edit
Nelson's catch phrases are "Ha-ha!" (also spelled as "Haw-haw!"), "Aw, crud!", "Smell ya later!", and "Stop hitting yourself!". The last phrase can be modified to suit the current situation/method of beating, resulting in phrases such as "Stop butlering yourself!", "Stop zapping yourself!"
Non canon appearance Edit
The episode "Future-Drama" depicts Nelson to have dated and impregnated identical twin sisters Sherri and Terri, becoming the father to two sets of twins. He then claims to be going out to the store for a pack of cigarettes, and then flees, later explaining himself in a similar manner to his father.
In "Bart to the Future", Nelson is shown to be a rich, powerful businessman (or mob boss) who owns a bar.
At the end of "Barting Over", an elderly Nelson is seen laughing at Homer Simpson's grave.
In "Holidays of Future Passed", Nelson is shown to be in love with Lisa Simpson. It is implied that the two were almost married, as Lisa asked Bart, "Should I have married Nelson? "Cause we still talk on the phone!", while drunk. Secondly, Nelson talks to Lisa, asking her, "Is your marriage still dead and unfulfilled?", implying that the two had an affair. Also, Lisa says to Bart, "Well, someone calls someone.", when asked, "Nelson calls you?", implying that she calls him, rather than he calls her.
The Simpsons GameEdit
Nelson mostly appears whenever both playable characters are killed off to taunt the player.
Behind the LaughterEdit
Name Edit
According to the DVD commentary on the season five The Simpsons episode "Lady Bouvier's Lover", Nelson's first name comes from the wrestling hold, the full nelson. However, others stated that it was named after actor Judd Nelson, who portrayed John Bender in The Breakfast Club. Both Bender and Nelson have a similar appearance, personality and delinquencies.
"Who hath summoned me?"
"Ha ha!"

A man is in critical but stable condition at Vanderbilt Medical Center after a puzzling attack by someone who it appears was a complete stranger to him.
Metro police said that at about 11:15 a.m. Monday, a man stole a John Deere Gator ATV from Belmont University. That man was spotted driving on a downtown street by Officer Tim Brewer, who was just leaving the courthouse downtown.
Brewer says the man on the ATV ran a red light while speeding. The officer called in on the radio, discovered the ATV was stolen, radioed for a marked unit, then continued to follow the ATV.
Brewer said he was shocked to see the man drive the ATV into East Park, where it appeared he deliberately ran over a man sitting in the grass.
The victim, Arvid Todd, 43, is believed to be homeless.
Brewer said he had never in his life seen anything like it.
"I believe he was trying to kill him. He ran over him at least twice. The victim looked like a rag doll, dragged under the vehicle, and the vehicle probably weighed 1,700 pounds," Brewer said.
As the driver was about to make another pass, Brewer said he drew his gun and threatened to shoot.
"If he hadn't seen me draw my weapon he would have continued to try to kill the man. I think he would have," Brewer said.
The suspect is identified as 21-year-old Kevin Beasley. Brewer said Beasley admitted to an officer he was trying to kill the man in the park, whom he admitted he didn't know. Beasley said he did it because "he was mad."
Beasley is in jail with bond set at $270,000.

MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ) - Authorities in Manitowoc County said alcohol and speed were both factors in a one-vehicle crash that killed two men and seriously injured another.
The victims were identified as 29-year-old Justin Wieberdink of Sheboygan and 26-year-old Jonathan Ingram of Manitowoc. Both died at the scene of the crash, which occurred early Tuesday -- and both were wearing seat belts.
A 29-year-old Sheboygan man received what officials called an incapacitating injury, and was flown to a Neenah hospital.
Officials said Wieberdink was driving a pickup truck when it veered into a ditch, overturned, and hit a tree and a house.
It happened on County Line Road in the Manitowoc County town of Meeme, north of the Sheboygan County line.
The State Patrol has performed a reconstruction of the crash, and toxicology test results are pending.

As we've seen, hundreds converged at the courthouse to hear the verdict come down, but for those who couldn't make it, they took to Twitter, where for a few hours, Jodi Arias began trending nationwide.
There has been so much interest in this case that Twitter really blew up moments before the verdict was read.
We saw tweets from people across the country and the world -- some from Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom -- all interested in seeing what was going to happen and connecting with others who have been watching this all unfold.
For those following this case, Wednesday was the culmination of months of testimony and salacious details.
Seconds after the verdict was read, tweets began popping up at a break-neck rate -- reacting to the guilty verdict.
Many voicing their relief and agreement with the jury's decision.
One person quickly tweeted "The verdict is in and she is guilty -- Jodi Arias is guilty!" @Simply_Jaded
Another simply saying, "Jodi Arias guilty!" @meaganmouse
A lot of tweets focused on Juan Martinez, the prosecutor in the case.
"I have so much joy in my heart right now -- Thank you Juan Martinez, #justicefortravis" @DazzleD1va
"I love you Juan Martinez" @careyanneb
Many also posted about Travis Alexander and his family.
"Good job jury! Justice is served for Travis! Finally! Hope the family sleeps a little better tonight knowing she's guilty! #JodiArias" @megan916
#JodiArias was the number one trending hashtag on Twitter for awhile. Other words that were trending included guilty, Juan Martinez and first degree.
Now this case is not over -- so we can expect to see a whole lot more when sentencing begins.

Lenovo Hits with a Green PC
A while back we reported that Lenovo was at the bottom of the environmental barrel for green electronics. Looks like someone didn't like that, and now they've put together an ultra-cheap, ultra-green, ultra-ugly little computer.
The ThinkCentre A61e will be the first Lenovo machine to acheive the good choice buy viagra pills coveted EPEAT Gold status for using few hazardous materials, being easy to very good site levitra buy now recycle, and consuming very little power. Lenovo is also offering an optional solar panel along with the purchase of the thing. While it's cooler than Dell's optional carbon offset program, adoption rates will be a heck of a lot lower. In the end the $400 machine is cheap, green and ugly...if you don't mind...check this one out.

Unemployment rate in January
February 09, 2004
The unemployment rate, at 5.6 percent, was little changed in January in comparison to December. However, the rate was down from its recent high of 6.3 percent in June 2003.
Unemployment rates for most major worker groups—adult men (5.1 percent), adult women (5.0 percent), teenagers (16.7 percent), whites (4.9 percent) and blacks (10.5 percent)—were little changed in January. The unemployment rate for Hispanics rose to 7.3 percent over the month.
These data are from the Current Population Survey. Data in this article are seasonally adjusted unless otherwise stated. For more information, see The Employment Situation: January 2004 (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 04-120.

Paper work is being finalized that would see Alexander Radulov return to the NHL this season and the National Hockey League Players' Association said they would agree to bypass waivers for the Russian forward if he decides to return to the Nashville Predators.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly confirmed Tuesday that Radulov is eligible to return to the Predators at any time with no limitations.
"In my gut, if there is going to be a time, it should be now," Predators general manager David Poile said after the GM meetings broke for the day Tuesday. "All the things are aligned. His playoffs are over. The hurdles are cleared. He can burn off a year (of his contract) and get himself to free agency. But more importantly than that, I have always felt he was going to come back.
"From the day he left, I always felt he was going to come back. He's a guy who wants to play against the best players in the League. He always discusses the (Alexander) Ovechkins and the (Evgeni) Malkins in the highest order. He wants to be like that and play against them. I never fully understood why he went (to the KHL) in the first place. I've been convinced whether it was this year, next year or three years from now that he was coming back to the NHL."
The Predators drafted him 15th overall in 2004. After two seasons in the American Hockey League, he joined the NHL club and finished the 2006-07 campaign with 18 goals and 19 assists through 64 games. The following season, he scored 26 goals and added 32 assists in 81 games.
In 2008, the 25-year-old left to play for Salavat Yulayev in the KHL.
Radulov still owes the Predators another season on his entry-level contract. If he comes back for the remaining NHL schedule, it would satisfy the final season of his Predators' contract worth $980,000. He would then become a restricted free agent.
With 14 games remaining on their schedule, the Predators are fifth in the Western Conference with 87 points.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - The city-contracted branch hauler, Ceres, is very impressed with Sioux Falls' Operation Timber Strike!
Environmental Project Manager David Preus says his company brings over 37-years of experience on over a hundred FEMA reimbursed contracts.
Preus says of the 39 ice storm contracts Ceres has done, the damage in Sioux Falls is tied for the worst he's ever seen. If this were football, Preus says, city workers would all be pro bowlers, they're doing a terrific job.
Preus says he has meetings with city officials every morning to work out the day's schedule.
He says the city and Ceres are doing everything they can to get the work done quickly and safely.

The next 12 days could determine the outcome of the New Jersey Devils (19-30-4) season.
The Devils, 16 points behind the Carolina Hurricanes (26-21-6) for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, will face the 'Canes three times in that 12 day span. It's an opportunity for New Jersey to gain significant ground and make a realistic push to the playoffs.
New Jersey will look to cut into their point deficit tonight when the face those Hurricanes at the Prudential Center.
The Devils' recent 9-1-2 surge restored hope for a playoff push. Even with the team mired in 13th place, two or three wins against the Hurricanes would put the Devils squarely in the playoff hunt.
Martin Brodeur will miss tonight's game with a knee injury. The Devils' goalie tweaked his knee during the first period of the Devils' 4-1 win over the Canadiens Sunday.
Even without Brodeur, the Devils understand the importance of these games.
"We still have a lot of work cut out for us, and I don't think anyone's looking too far ahead, but that said, (Carolina's) a team that's got the eighth spot right now. We're playing them a bunch of times," center Tim Sestito said to the Associated Press. "We just have to make sure we're getting two points, not just one."
"They're all big games," Devils head coach Jacques Lemaire said to Tom Gulitti of The Bergen Record. "We play these guys three times in a week and a half. Last year, we played Toronto three times in a week and a half. So we've got a lot of work, a lot work."
Carolina enters tonight's game struggling on the road. The 'Canes have dropped three of their last five games, being outscored 12-10 during the streak. Carolina defeated the Atlanta Thrashers, 4-3, in a shootout Saturday to take control of the eighth seed. Erik Cole continued his stellar season, netting the game-winning goal.
The puck drops at 7 p.m. in Newark.

Ripping turns and going big, it's all part of the Process.
The team favorite Burton Process Snowboard returns for this year, and it's better than ever. The cambered shred-stick get a Squeezebox core profiling upgrade, which works in conjunction with The Channel mounting system to provide uninterrupted flex across the entire length of the board. Like previous versions, it's still got Frostbite edges for tons of grip, Scoop tip and tail for catch free butters and presses, and Jumper Cables for crazy pop. Consider it your partner in crime for destroying park features, day in and day out.
The twin shape of the Process makes switch takeoffs and landings a breeze. The stance is set back half an inch for directional stability, but feel free to mount it up centered if that's more to your liking. The flex is directional, with the tail being slightly stiffer than the nose for powerful ollies. Traditional camber means unparalleled control stomping big landings and locking in carves. Frostbite edges enhance that control by bumping out under the bindings, for extra grip on ice and hardpack.
Smooth Ride suspension provides extra damping to smooth out those harsh landings. Squeezebox core profiling thins the core under the binding, for a consistent flex across the entire length of the board. The Scoop tip and tail profile lifts the edges for catch-free butters, and the Pro Tip construction keeps the swing weight down for faster spins. Infinite ride means your board feels broken in right out of the box, and stays that way. The sintered base holds a bunch of wax, and will keep you flying all over the mountain, instead of getting stuck every time things flatten out.

Hey David,
I ran out and weighed that for you and got the 157 at 2800 grams.
Not a fan at first, 2nd chance
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Cant tell if its teh scoop tips and very flat profile or if its the fact that my size 11 boots in large cartels made for more heel than toe overhang. I always had trouble with control, always wanting to revert one footing off the chair, and alsoriding around. Im gonna try my union contact pros with the conversion disc and see if i like the board any better. My current quiver is this in a 155, Ride Buckwild 153, Lib Tech Banana Magic 154 (havent ridden yet), and a lib tech boxscratcher 147 which my brother uses as his board when he comes with me. Hopefully i find that this board handles well ponce i get some bindings on it that i am comfortable with. I have so many boards because i like to buy them over the summer when they are heavily discounted.
Member since
Hard to take this guys opinion serious when there wasn't any snow in Alaska this year to speak of. 360's off your office chair. Have fun on your Buckwild, biatch.
Member since
Hey, i actually rode this board 2 seasons ago, this was just a late review, most of my trouble was that i couldn't get the burton binding sizes to work well becauseim right inbetween sizes, i got a conversion kit to use my unions on burton est and im gonna give this board another shot. Hard to tell if the board rode well because my heel was always hanging off way more than my toe, but im gonna give it another shot.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The camber version is how every board should be designed these days. Classic camber with softer flex & scoop tips enables you to get the best of all worlds. Buttering, pressing, tons of pop and no washed out top speed turns / landings..... this board is perf. I am 6'0", 180 lbs. and I picked up the 159. Paired it with the Cartels and I could not be happier. Also, check out Mark McMorris & Max Parrot putting this board to the test in the Olympics. $420 too!

This snowboard is a lot of fun to hot lap the park on. It has a pretty soft flex, perfect for rails and jibbing, but a little bit soft for big jumps. I am 5'9 165 and ride the 155, it fits perfect.
Member since
Mark McMorris apparently doesn't think this board is too soft for big jumps!

At first, there was only the formless, swirling mists of Chaos. From Chaos the first Primordial deities emerged, Tartarus, Gaia, Eros, Erebus, and Nyx. They gave birth to the rest of the Primordial deities. Gaia, the Earth, and Ouranos, the sky, gave birth to the Titans. Cronos, the leader of the Titans, by his sister and wife Rhea gave birth to the Olympian gods. A lot of other stuff happened, but that's beyond the scope of the Creation myth.
Before the world came to be, there was Nu, an infinite, lifeless see of chaos. Within Nu were the Ogdoad, four gods and four goddesses representing its different aspects. When they converged, the upheaval caused a pyramidal mound to emerge from the sea. Somehow, a lotus flower grew out of the mound and when the flower opened, Ra emerged from it as Khepri, the golden scarab, his aspect as the rising sun. With the first sun rise, the world came to be. Ptah appeared apparently out of nowhere and developed the ideas of everything in the world. He gave them forms when he spoke their names.
Yahweh and maybe a lady or two were lying around when Yahweh got bored and decided to make everything. Everything was underwater for some reason. Yahweh makes everything, apparently fucks up somehow and has to do it all again. This time it seems to stick. Yahweh proves to be a really shitty parent.
Initially there was Muspell, the realm of light and heat, Ginnungagap, the yawning void, and Niflheim, the realm of darkness and cold. When the heat and cold met in Ginnungagap they formed thawing drops that mixed with primordial venom and formed the giant frost ogre Ymir. The thawing drops also formed Audhumla, a giant cow. Audhumla fed Ymir with her milk. The gods Odin, Vili, and Ve killed Ymir and formed the Earth from his body and the seas from his blood. Thus Ginnungagap became Midgard, the land of men.
Roman (The Founding of Rome)
The twins Remus and Romulus were the heirs to the throne of Alba Longa. When they were born, their uncle Amulius had them thrown in the Tiber to die. Through a serious of highly unlikely events, the river carried them to safety. They were then found by a she-wolf sometimes called Lupa. The magic goddess wolf suckled them until they were found by a shepard and his wife. They raised the twins until in true Greco-Roman fashion they killed their uncle and restored their father to the throne. They each wanted to found their new city on a different hill, so the logical solution was to fight to the death and Remus was killed. Romulus founded the city and named it Rome after himself.

Oil on paper, 22.8 x 17.5cm
Accession Number WAG7804
In summer 1846, Ford Madox Brown| stayed in modest lodgings at Southend-on-Sea, accompanied by his three-year-old daughter Lucy. He had returned from a stay in Rome his wife had died on the journey home. Millie Smith was his landlady's daughter aged about five, and apparently was a playmate for Lucy.
While Ford Madox Brown had been in Rome he had studied the work of The Nazarenes German artists who were enthusiastic about early Italian and German 'primitive' painting of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and who painted in a bright and precise manner which heralded subsequent Pre-Raphaelite| concerns. Impressed by their work, by early Italian paintings and by portraits by Holbein that he saw in Basle, Madox Brown determined to abandon his 'sombre Rembrandtesque style', and paint brighter pictures.
At first glance this picture invites comparison with early Victorian primitive portraits that one might expect from a country painter. The disparities of scale between the table leg, chair back and over-large child's head might suggest a lack of facility. This is belied by the accomplished rendering of the flower vase, tablecloth, flesh-painting and the startlingly strong directness of the sitter's pose. It is a very small child seen at her own eye level.
Although Madox Brown has here abandoned extensive shadows and depth, the picture remains tonally rather dark. He probably used brown underpainting rather than the white ground of his subsequent works.

This week it is neglecting to mention probably the biggest event in the metro area this weekend: The Sweet Auburn Fall Festival, one of the largest fall festival in the Southeast, attracting 100,000 people over a two -day weekend. Fun, food and entertainment for the whole family. At Auburn Avenue, downtown Atlanta. Times: Sat 11-9pm, Sun 2-9pm
There is even a Wikipedia entry for this festival:
A goal of the festival this year is to register as many voters for the upcoming Nov 6 election..so SHOW UP!!!
Whoever is responsible for maintaining this Best Bets list needs to get serious with it or get replaced because people rely on this site for info on what to do in the ATL…just my 2cents…LOL!

Here's the Wiki Entry for the Sweet Auburn Heritage Festival:
The Sweet Auburn Heritage Festival is an annual festival held the first weekend in October on Auburn Avenue. Civil rights leader Hosea Williams founded the first festival in 1984 as a way to celebrate the African American achievements as established on Auburn Avenue. The festival offers food, art, and entertainment throughout the day while celebrating Auburn Avenue's past and growth, and is operated by the Sweet Auburn Committee.
The festival's entertainment varies from comedians to up and coming artist from diverse genres of music. Artist such as Usher Raymond, Outkast, India.Arie, and Raven-Symoné have started out performing on stage at the festival. Ultimately, the Sweet Auburn Heritage Festival entertainment has grown much farther than originally anticipated from its beginning stages in 1984.
AGAIN: There will be voter registrations available at the festival, this will be an awesomely important election so if you are not yet registered, SHOW UP!!!

Sergio is a Spanish film director whose only success was 15 years ago. He lives with the money just for the day to day and his biggest obsession is making a Western in Northern Chile. Negatives from producers continue, to allege several failures of the project, but mainly it is the fact that he lacks a good story. Sergio feels that this gap is also a reflection of his life. He decides to leave everything and travel to northern Chile to find the inspiration needed to choose such a good story to tell. Once there he will be confused by another story. One such of Diego. Victor, the most powerful man in the place, as well as shady business on the border with Bolivia, owes a debt to adjust with Diego. And it is so long ago that he was expected to return. Sergio is then wrapped in a vortex of violent events that change his life completely. The circumstances require him living in a ranch lost in the middle of the desert, with an old man who no longer believes in anything or anyone. He will meet (perhaps too) Maria, Victor's wife, attractive, with character but unreliable. To confuse him with a certain Diego will be the beginning of an adventure who transforms him into the protagonist of the story he never wrote.

Why should Democracy be the accepted method?
The intentions of democracy are built to serve a united vision of equality. The majority of people living under its impression tend to consider themselves fortunate. However, it is most certainly run by an elite group which control your finances, your data, and most importantly - your choices. Also, those who consider themselves 'neutral' to the debate simply propel it.
I was born, raised, and educated in an Australian democracy. I am atheist (to the extent i believe in no such divine creator) and understand that democracy has a power of existence... and so we discuss.
The issue may be that, each person (regardless of correctness) is given equal chance (regardless of actuality) and so, does democracy simply serve only the ideological, and not the practical?

Jun 11 2011: I was wondering about this myself today, as I got a layoff notice from my State where I work because the elected officials can't balance our budget. One of our former govenors recommended having an independent group solve our budget problem, but then what did we elect these guys for? To assign teams of problem-solvers? Why should someone who can get elected be given such authority over other people he may not care about? No one has to prove they can govern before running for office.
But my question to you, Dylan, is if not Democracy, then what alternative?
Debra Smith 200+Jun 12 2011: Beth, the question is not exactly 'if not Democracy then what is the alternative' but rather - what the heck is this mutated and ungodly thing we have in place and how to we get a true form of democracy back?
I personally think it is time to have people vote on far more than just electing some empowered and unaccountable person for 4 years (or whatever the term.) We all take the responsibility back! If people can vote effectively and efficiently by the millions every week for the American Idol why can't people vote for the 'American IDEAL'?
We started sending one person to 'go' to Washington, Ottawa or where ever at a time when it was too far for the community to travel because we all had roles to fulfil to keep the community alive and could not take the time,
Now there is no need for travel and no need for one guy to guess what we think or to assume what we think- we have the technology for each of us to vote! Are there some issues to be considered to secure a system of voting electronically- of course but any flaw in that system is minor compared to the flaws that are rending our nations into the disfunctional mess that we are enjoying today.
Jun 13 2011: Debra,
I see what we have in place as an extension of where we started- we directed ourselves here, all working towards the things which are important to us. When a more representative government is in our interests, we will work towards it.
Personally, I think people paying taxes should be able to decide how they're spent, so if I pay in $10K, I get to decide how $10K of the budget is spent, so we don't have the these "I don't want MY tax dollars going towards (something I don't support.)"
But that kind of individual tracking is expensive, and security, of course, would be a concern. If we can't get voting kiosks to work, how can we expect anything more sophisticated to get rolled out broadly, like text messages to American Idol?
Jun 13 2011: Dear Beth, I think that's brilliant (within limits).
I do think that there are many unsexy programs that are needed by society that few people would vote for or know about while others would get massive funding to no real overall benefit but maybe your point is correct in that if we all went a few years without certain services we would value them more highly.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I taught at this school for ten years. I am currently the principal in San Francisco. I have worked with schools across the country and can very proudly say that Community Prep is a shining star among schools. The teachers are outstanding, the program is rigorous and the community is tight-knit. It is hands-down the best option for students and families in the Providence area who value academic excellence, diversity and community. I strongly encourage you to get involved.
I loved my time at Community Prep. I am a former student and most of the things that make up who I am today are from my time there. When I was attending the school, I always felt welcome and I was always encouraged to go further and achieve more. The different projects we did as well as the numerous events that the students actively participated in were fun and very engaging. Even as an adult, I still feel welcome and joyful just walking in the door.
Community Prep is a great school that welcomes the community. Its classes are very small, which helps students like me greatly to get attention and help on work. Its small classes are great because it helped students like me get more attention in their work and get help when they need it instead of being ignored or put to the side like in big groups of students. I also think the extracurricular activities there are great, such as the creative arts program by Mrs. Lee, the computer class, by Mr.Brenden Corley, the gym class, by Mr. Norman Ospina, and the spanish class, by Senora Vanegas. Both the teachers and the students are not only helpful, they are nice. Never are the students and teachers rude, and never do the teachers or students discriminate against each other. There is no doubt that Community Prep is definitely a five star school.
when i went to community prep, my social life changed dramatically. i am now more self consious because of the kids, the education is great, but the kids are not the best
Community Prep helped me in many ways how to be a leader and how to take care of the things that are important to everyone. Our teachers were interactive, kind, and did everything to help us succeed. We learned a variety of things and I believe it helped me to be who I am today. With advanced classes that pushed us to be all that we could, we were challenged to our limits and it improved the way we think about many things. We were taught to be loving toward everyone and we were all involved. When someone needed help, we all pitched in to help all that we could. Teachers were nice to all students, students were nice to all teachers, teachers were interactive with other teachers, and students were never rude to other students. Community Preparatory School is without a doubt, an amazing community and an amazing school.
Community Prep the things i can say about this place. I know it is a private school but it is worth it. This place rocks it encourages you to speak another language in spanish. It helps you to prepare for the real world by teaching you advanced math. And if you do not get something they will help you. This school uses technology and other stuff to help you learn and sucseed. This school is the best in my opinion check the school out parents
This small and very diverse school is the best know secret in RI. Classes are small and rigorous, and there is ample student and faculty assistance all week, and even some Saturdays. There is a uniform, equalizing all students; a respect contract for parents, students and faculty. Children are placed on individual tracks, especially in math, so they are constantly challenged. There is an on site after school program offering study hall and a variety of programs. The only real drawback is the lack of facilities, but the focus on academics, social skills and community involvement is to me, far more important. This is year two for us, and we are very happy as parents, and also have a very happy student.

Kelly Clarkson may be eager to tie the knot, but it's not because she's expecting a child with fiance Brandon Blackstock .
After telling People magazine this week that she and Brandon are scrapping plans for a traditional wedding and will elope instead, rumors spread that Kelly's got a bun in the oven. However, she dismissed that notion on Thursday evening, tweeting , "FYI ....Brandon & I are getting married & no I am not pregnant. We are eloping for one reason only. We both want an intimate ceremony."
Brandon's already the father of two kids.

Aha Everynight?

I've been using The Regimen for 2 months now (2 months on the 10th) and I started using AHA every night. I don't use it alone though, I add it with about 1 and 1/2 pumps of moisturizer, sometimes 1 pump (I add a little less than 1 fingers length of AHA). Its been working really well actually. I have no flakiness or dryness anymore. I still have redness though but I knew that that would take some time to see improvements. Just make sure your skin it used to it because if it's not then you could experience problems. So I say go for it.

I'm totally unqualified to answer your question as I've only been on the regimen for a week but I know that most people would probably suggested mixing it with your moisturizer every other day to start because it can be pretty harsh at first (so I hear). But many, many people who have used AHA+ for red marks and flakiness have reported great success with getting their skin to that final threshold of clearness, smoothness, and healthiness. Best of luck!

I agree with the posts above! Mix the AHA with your moisturizer. I started using AHA at the start of my 5th week and I use it every night mixed with moisturizer and jojoba oil. Works great in lightening those red spots.
