In 1970 President R. Nixon "temporarily" suspended the U.S. Gold Standard. In order to control inflation should we consider that system now?
President Nixon was embroiled in the Watergate scandal that stole the media headlines... so most Americans did not notice the abandonment of the Gold Standard. Since the standard was suspended, as now, inflation has risen each year.
Obviously, the rise of inflation is like a "tax" that siphons buying power from our citizens on a daily basis. Congress' spending was curtailed by the Gold Standard. Spending needs to be controlled today. Your thoughts?
Apr 22 2013: Bob, I don't think it is that simple. The Britton Woods Act included 44 nations that all agreed on a set price of gold and they would all use the US Dollar as the standard. The chance of that occuring again is almost nil.
One idea that was discussed a week or so ago was the use of the Bit Coin.
I do think your conversation is necessary and that a new basis for international standards is required. Had the Euro caught on it may have become the new and accepted medium.
As the stability of Europe is still questionable I fear that the US is on the path for both a recession and a depression and perhaps at the same time ... the value of the US dollar is in deep jeaporady and more countries are on the verge of fiscial instability.
After the falls are complete perhaps the major nations will once again approach the market and acceptable standards. In my opinion the United States has demonstrated what is not a viable method ... the fed ... keynesian economics ... and deficit spending ... etc ...
I hope that someone who understands this enters and gives us all good counsel.
I wish you well. Bob.
Apr 22 2013: Imagine a Monopoly game. What will be the result if, in the middle of the game, we give each player another complete set of the various colorful denominations of currency? The number and availability of properties remains constant but the supply of money has increased. There are only two possibilities: Either people will just keep the fiat money and not spend it (highly unlikely), or they will use the "new" money to outbid others in the frenzy to accumulate wealth. Prices escalate to assimilate the new money supply. What cost $220 before now costs $400! Buying power of the dollar has diminished while goods and services have remained constant. Welcome to Inflation Monopoly! Only the Banker wins.

Apr 21 2013: Stop deficit spending by returning to the gold standard ASAP! Absotutely! We forward thinking folks of Arizona now have gold and silver as legal tender. It is a step in the right direction toward fiscal sanity. While we are cleaning-up our act, let's dissolve the Federal Reserve Bank system if for no other reason than that it is NOT Federal, it is NOT a Reserve, and it is NOT a Bank. It only exists to bring the US under socialist control. Restoring the gold standard would fix all that!

Apr 22 2013: If the supply of gold compared to the supply of goods and services is so small that a one-ounce coin is too valuable for typical transactions, we would simply use half-ounce, or one-tenth ounce coins. The amount of gold available does not affect its ability to serve as money, it merely affects the QUANTITY of gold that would be used to measure a transaction. In a free market on the gold standard the simple adjustment of the purchasing power, or effectiveness of the gold-unit will regulate the economy. Printing more fiat money while keeping good and services constant merely causes prices to escalate and buying power to diminish, aka inflation. It would not be so with gold. (This is a paraphrase of E. Griffin's book, The Monster From Jekyll Island, pp 141, 142.Apr 26 2013: Well said ED!
My best
BobApr 25 2013: my opinion is: we don't want the gold standard. we want free market money. let people decide what kind of money they want to use. there might be many good solutions, and different people in different situation might prefer one or another. if someone wants gold, he can use gold. if someone wants to use bitcoin, he can use bitcoin. if someone wants to use government issued dollars, he can use dollars. if someone wants to use chinese yuans, he can do just that.
in order to achieve that, all laws taxing, prohibiting or controlling the use of alternate money forms should be repealed. there should be no tax on exchange rate gains. there should be no limit or any red tape associated with alternate moneys. there should be no legal tender laws.
Apr 26 2013: Thanks Krisztian:
Very well thought out comments. How would "free market money" limit Congressional spending and minimize inflation?
My best,
Apr 26 2013: inflation is easy: if people suspect inflation in the future, they might simply opt for another money that does not inflate. there are debates about the causes of inflation. but simple logic tells that there can be no long term inflation if you use a money that has a fixed stock, like gold.
congressional spending is a more complex issue. again, opinions differ, so hereafter i'm presenting the school of thought which i'm subscribing to. governments use 3 main sources to cover their expenditures. tax, inflation and debt. tax is straightforward, and not our concern now. the other two is interconnected. debt is expensive, and quickly spirals out of hand if interest rates are considerable. for that reason, governments (via central banks) create new money, and buy their own bonds. in effect, they push interest rates down. this eventually causes price inflation, as the money supply increases, according to the law of supply and demand (more money, less value). but at the same time money creation also directly supports government spending, since a great part of government bonds are not really represent debt, but just imaginary debt bought using new money. this new money ends up in the treasury, and the government can spend it. so in brief, new money ends up in the government's hands, plus it pushes down interest rates on bonds, making them more affordable for the government, so they can issue more.
this entire process is based on money creation. if people don't trust the government money, they will simply not accept it, and the above described shenanigans come to a grinding halt, and the budget has to be balanced. if people are okay with that scheme, and trust it with their own savings, everything is hunky dory, and the government can go on.Apr 25 2013: Some History about money and governments...
The US from about 1870 until 1913, suffered little, and was on the gold standard. Controlled by a Gang of nations that agreed to agree.
They kept money, government, and trade stable.
Not a bad time to be alive in America.
Then came WW1 and the greed.
In the year 1913, the FBI, replaced the evil-outlawed Pinkerton's to become the enforcer/protector of bank interests.
In the year 1913, the IRS, was given teeth as tax collector.
A few more years passed, the economy was on a roller-coaster, and after 3 tries, congress selected a Central Bank that we all know today as the FED.
The FED's job was to keep our economy fit as a fiddle with jobs galore.
Limited Liability Laws were created by congress to protect the Wealthy.
and, to keep them out of jail when they stole too much.
Regulators were "Good ole Boy's", appointed from the most successful in their individual fields. The SEC was created to regulate "the little guys".
So, Now I can get around to my point.
The Government has control and/or possession of the Gold and it's supply.
The Government has control of the Printing and Supply of the fiat money.
We can talk all day about changing things.
Opines can be expressed.
Nothing will happen.
This stuff is set in stone.
Apr 25 2013: Hi Frank!
Thanks for the history lesson. I agree.
BobApr 24 2013: Currency (the IOU paper that governments print) floats and is best for the global economy. Currency is a commodity that can fluctuate widely depending on supply and demand. Gold has a limited supply with some countries having far too much, this severely limits or exaggerates the global economic value of gold.
All currencies float with the good a/o bad decisions of product producers and consumers. The USA, EU, RU, JP, CN currency value force nations to be aware of their global relationships, impact, and risk. The UK was smart in promoting the Commonwealth and divestiture of the empire. The US was dumb in some global adventures (Vietnam and Iraq). We are paying for our mistakes in IOU paper which globally makes US poor for international exchange, but domestically creates great deals and good values. There are many other good reasons for sticking with currency as the method of payment. We can rebuild, reeducate, and retool with U$ currency and U$ labor and products. This works the same for all nations, the gold standard is dead by global and U$ necessity.
National a/o Global inflation and deficits are not dependent in any way on a gold standard.Apr 22 2013: I have heard that uncle ben wants a world wide fiat currency.
I suppose they would offer you fiddy cents on the dollar for your American?
It is interesting to contemplate a world wide currency that is not manipulated by the likes of the FED or any other central bank. It would be a huge victory for freedom. And automatically handle the problem of currency fixing. Which would put an end to the shenanigans of people like Soros or China gaining an unfair advantage.
Apr 22 2013: Thanks for your comment Pat. Perhaps you would like to view our feeble attempt to give candidates true transparency at www.AllCan.org. That could be at least a start toward your solution.
Apr 22 2013: That remind me of something Steve Greenhut is doing along the same lines, great idea.
Apr 26 2013: Hi Pat:
Thanks. How can we force the candidates to use these sites? Huge problem!
BobApr 26 2013: I so not see any magic bullets. Only a more educated constituency which makes ditch digging look like watching TV.Apr 24 2013: I agree, a world wide currency is very silly without a worldwide government. I like U$ currency, EU euros ....
Apr 25 2013: Whoops I meant to say a world wide currency (bit coin) but no worldwide government.
But as you say that would be silly and certainly not in compliance, you do want to comply don't you?Apr 22 2013: I don't a lot about this but would like to hear from people who do.
There is a correlation between going off the gold standard and the hockey stick graph of debt. Back then the value was of the dollar was set at $37.00 and you could not legally own gold until 1975. The price of gold did not follow the market because of the Bretton Woods agreement.
There are some dynamics to this that we are not privy to and it is very much manipulated as witnessed last week.
The time might be right for people to move into something that is not manipulated as with Bit Coin?

We all have those moments when we'd rather go incognito behind behemoth opaque sunnies (i.e. brunch after a big night out), and there's certainly skeletons lurking in every gal's bag (we won't go there!). However, just as in life, sometimes transparency is just what the doctor ordered. From lucite lavaliers to perspex clutches and even straight-up plastic backpacks, it's crystal clear that this trend is glistening right now.
Wholly embracing the idea of heart-on-your-sleeve sundries, we went a little berserk and found 30 sick see-through frills fit for any outfit. So, go on, take our slideshow for a spin, and prepare to play a little peekaboo! (Tip: Pair any purse with a pocket-packed ensemble to hide any

Comments Off :American Idol, Larry Platt, Pants on the Ground, Pants on the Ground cover more...
(Updated 10:25 pm CST)
Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground!
Hey all! Got a couple of things going on we wanted to update you about:
- We've been on the road a lot the last few weeks, and I wanted to do something fun, so I decided to produce a rock version of Larry Platt's "Pants on the Ground" song from the American Idol auditions. All of the melodies and guitar/bass/keyboard parts are completely original and everything was recorded on my laptop. We don't have the ability to record Brian on drums, so they're all computer-generated and programmed by me. Hope you can forgive me – Jon
- We're starting a little video series on our YouTube channel called The Building Rome Show, where we'll be adding videos of our shows and other random hi-jinks. Subscribe to us on YouTube and make sure you don't miss an episode!
- We're actively booking shows around the Midwest! If you live within 6-8 hours of St. Louis, MO and want us to play in your city, send an e-mail to email@example.com and let us know where you go to see shows. Also, if you know other bands that play regularly in your city, send us a link to their MySpace/Facebook/websites so we can get in contact with them. Any help is appreciated!
We'll see you soon!!

According to the Dolphins TV Network announcement, the preseason games are supposed to be carried on channel 27 in Orlando, WRDQ. Tv Guide is not showing this, and I can't check the channel to see if there are any announcements about the game. My parents are a 40 minute drive away and get Orlando stations, so I was thinking about driving out there, but there isn't anyone there right now who can even watch the station to tell me if they see a commercial.
Can anyone confirm whether or not they are showing this game being aired tonight?

Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover was 11-- hardly old enough to know his sexuality and yet distraught enough to hang himself last week after school bullies repeatedly called him "gay."
The Springfield, Mass., football player and Boy Scout was ruthlessly teased, despite his mother's pleas to the New Leadership Charter School to address the problem.
Sirdeaner L. Walker, 43, found Carl hanging by an extension cord on the second floor of the family's home April 6, just minutes before she was going to a meeting to confront school authorities again.
"I am brokenhearted," she told ABCNews.com. "We worry about the economy and about Iraq, but we need to be worried about our schools."
Walker, who works as a director of homeless programs, said Carl -- a slight child who loved his schoolwork -- had endured endless taunts since he started sixth grade in September.
School officials did not return numerous calls for comment from ABCNews.com.
The boy had been active in his church, taking communion on the recent Palm Sunday and playing a wise man in the Christmas play. He helped the needy and a black history program.
"That's the type of kid he was," Walker said. "You could rely and count on him."
Walker said her son's 11-year-old tormentors were worse than the breast cancer she had survived four years ago.
In an ironic twist, the boy would have turned 12 on April 17 -- the same day students in thousands of schools across the country will participate in the annual Day of Silence to bring attention to anti-gay harassment in schools.
"There was no reason for the mother to believe he was gay," said Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network spokesman Daryl Presgraves. "It just happens he was someone his peers targeted, calling him, 'girlie,' 'gay' and 'fag.' According to the mother, it was a daily occurrence."
Carl's suicide comes about a year after California eighth-grader Lawrence King was shot and killed by a fellow student in his classroom for supposedly being gay.
In response, GLSEN has launched a multipronged education campaign to fight the use of anti-gay language and bullying.
Its annual Day of Silence, started at the University of Virginia in 1996 with 150 students, has now grown to more than 7,500 middle and high schools nationwide. Participants draw attention to LGBT issues by not speaking for a day.
Since October, GLSEN has aired thousands of public service messages, "Think Before You Speak," to reduce the use of the slur, "That's so gay."
"When you are in elementary school, one of the first things you learn is the feeling of hurt when you are called 'gay' or 'fag,'" said Presgraves. "It doesn't matter if you are gay or straight. The term 'gay' has become synonymous with "uncool."
"The expression 'That's so gay' is one of the most heard in school, and students recognize it as derogatory," he said.
Just last week Bill and Janis Mohat filed suit against Ohio's Mentor High School, alleging their son, who, like Carl, did not identify himself as gay, shot himself after being tortured with homophobic slurs.
In a 2005 survey -- "From Teasing to Torment: School Climate in America" -- students said their peers were most often bullied because of their appearance, but the next top reason was because of actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender expression.

Did you just spray the paint directly over the old paint, or did you remove the old paint and sand first?

En español | Nearly every afternoon I enjoy a little something sweet, but I'm pretty picky about my indulgence. If it's too lean or healthy, I'm not interested. If it's too decadent, I feel guilty. My perfect sweet falls somewhere in between the two.
Get AARP member-only discounts on restaurants, groceries, movies and more
Doughnuts have always been one of my guilty pleasures, but we all know that a wad of dough in a deep fryer absorbs oil like a sponge in a bucket of water. The good news is that you can actually bake doughnuts. You cook them in a mini-muffin pan, or if you want the cute doughnut shape, you can buy a special (inexpensive) pan.
The recipe for Baked Apple-Cider Doughnuts makes only a dozen mini-doughnuts, but unless you're serving a large group, you don't want a lot. They're best eaten fresh, when they're still warm. You make the doughnut batter using the classic quick bread method: Mix a few wet ingredients, mix a few dry ingredients, then mix the two together. Since the doughnuts are small, they bake quickly. As they emerge from the oven, brush them with a little butter — only one tablespoon for all 12 — and then dredge them in cinnamon sugar. These two steps make them feel indulgent without adding lots of calories.
Unlike doughnuts, which have a short shelf life, Chocolate Wafers last at least a month in a sealed tin. They're lovely just plain, but for a teatime treat I frequently spread them with nut butters, chocolate-hazelnut spread, jams or marmalade. The dough is simple, but note that I replace butter (animal fat) with the more nutrient-dense antioxidant coconut oil.
Since my older daughter, Maggy, is doing her best to eat a vegan diet and pumpkin bread is one of her favorite fall treats, she and I worked together to develop a loaf that contains no dairy or eggs. Once again, coconut is the hero in this recipe, with coconut milk replacing the eggs and coconut oil standing in for traditional butter. Both of us are amazed at its flavor and texture.
My younger daughter, Sharon, described these sweet snacks well: "They're healthy enough so that you don't feel guilty for eating one … but not so healthy that you have to force yourself to eat one!" All three of these baked goodies are scrumptious, satisfying and not too dangerous for your diet. What more can you ask of a treat?
Baked Apple-Cider Doughnuts
Makes 1 dozen mini-doughnuts
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon each: salt and baking soda
- 6 tablespoons apple butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, salt and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Whisk apple butter, brown sugar and oil to combine. Whisk apple mixture into flour mixture to form a smooth batter. Spoon batter into doughnut pan (or in the cups of a mini-muffin tin). Bake until doughnuts are firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Turn doughnuts onto a wire rack.
Mix sugar with remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Working one at a time when they're cool enough to handle, lightly brush doughnuts with butter and dredge in cinnamon sugar. Serve.

Watch The Throne (Deluxe) (Bonus Tracks, Explicit)
Preview tracks
by Jay Z
Released: Aug 2011
Label: Roc-A-Fella
When superstars join forces, we expect blasts of energy, and Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch the Throne succeeds magnificently, from the joyous old-school roundelay of "Otis" to the street-hop of "Welcome to the Jungle." But the duo's attempt to turn Throne into the scepter of the hip-hop diaspora proves trickier. They deplore black-on-black violence in "Murder to Excellence," tout their success as "Made in America," and scold their many haters on "Why I Love You." "I tried to teach n*ggas how to be kings," says Jay. Unfortunately, as Langston Hughes once wrote, "Life ain't no crystal stair."

Volleyball swept by first-place Mountaineers
Tuesday, October 28, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (October 28, 2003) - East Tennessee State's volleyball team was swept by Southern Conference rival Appalachian State Monday night from Brooks Gym, 30-22, 30-22, and 30-25. With the victory, the Mountaineers increased their lead in the north division standings by improving to 9-3 in league play (11-14 overall). ETSU (6-19, 4-9 SoCon) struggled offensively throughout the evening, finishing with a .115 attack percentage. The Mountaineers recorded six of their 10 team blocks in game one en route to the three-game sweep. The Buccaneers first lead of the match didn't happen until game three, when the Bucs took a 6-5 advantage. There were 10 ties in the final game, and ETSU held the lead on four separate occasions. However, the Bucs were unable to sustain the small push of momentum to force a game four. "They are tall, they served the ball hard, and any ball that we tried to hit they got a hand on," said ETSU head coach Lindsey Devine of visiting ASU. "In order for us to be successful against them or any other team, we have to be able to pass the ball better." Karen Freeburg (New Castle, Ind.) led ETSU with 11 digs and three blocks, but her performance was marred by the Mountaineers strong defensive presence. Freeburg had seven kills on 33 attacks, which led to an attack percentage of just .091. Senior Lissa Allen (Palm Bay, Fla.) and freshman Kelsey Sherich (Ogallala, Neb.) paced the Bucs with nine kills each, and sophomore Kristi Robinson (Knoxville, Tenn.) tallied 35 assists. On the other side of the net, Katherine Dean and Jackie Jennings led the ASU assault. Dean registered 13 kills and four blocks, while Jennings finished with 12 kills and three blocks. Stefanie Panzer recorded a match-high .357 hitting percentage and five blocks. Rachel Gates led all players with 16 digs, followed by Starla Gustafson (12) and Amy Lewis (11). Gustafson also tallied three of the team's eight service aces. The Buccaneers have some time in which to prepare for their next opponent. ETSU will not be in action again until Tuesday, Nov. 4, when Western Carolina comes into town. The match is set for 6 p.m. in Brooks Gym.

weird. i know grouplove is playing this
whoa totally missed them. my bad
If the schedule is good, I will fly up and go to this. But if they end up splitting all the performances across different venues in town (though there really arent many venues in town besides the uptown theatre and opera house) like the Moogfest, then I will pass.
I count 17 bands I'd go see...that's a win to me.
Billing Cake above Primus and Flaming Lips is a joke. But whatever, I sorta feel like the people doing this don't know exactly everything they're doing.
But it's also Napa, not a place well known for its excellent taste in music. I would expect people up there to be more excited for Train and Cake, rather than Primus and the Flaming Lips.
I thought it all takes place at the Napa Expo Center? Lots of good bands at $250 for the 3 day pass...not too bad.
Its pretty stupid they're advertising both a 3 day and 4 day pass..I'm not dropping $399 for a 4 day pass, and I'll be super pissed if any other bands (outside of Furthur) end up playing Thursday night.
It would be more stupid if they sold a four day pass where day one was a single band and they didn't make that clear up front.
and of course Primus has to be playing on Thursday...
I hope they sell single day passes. I'd be all about the Friday show.
Last update 2/31/13? Hope that doesn't speak to the quality of the festival producers.
Don't forget the two Saturdays....
I thought Jackson Browne was playing??
Who the hell is the Zac brown band anyway?

Mary Perfitt-Nelson's curator insight, September 21, 2014 2:34 PM
This is the most convincing argument "against" that I've seen yet. I would add, though, that Shirky's style is one of collaborative inquiry where participation, discussion are the norm. " I'm coming to see student focus as a collaborative process. It's me and them working to create a classroom where the students who want to focus have the best shot at it, in a world increasingly hostile to that goal."
Ellen Comito McKeown's curator insight, June 24, 11:15 AM
Spells out rules for netiquette. Good way to start out with students who are used to posting on social networks and ranting. In the comments, the college stated that teachers can reprint this for their classrooms as long as they give credit to Touro College.

Ésta es la cuestión, las TIC por sí mismas no son la solución a problemas en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Pueden ser una magnífica herramienta en el aula, pero hay que saber utilizarlas para sacarles el máximo partido sin caer en errores que se llevan reproduciendo en educación desde hace décadas.

Our Evolving Understanding of the Solar System: New Data, New Ideas
Robotic missions are exploring our solar system, and have been for almost fifty years. They assist us in a hunt for treasure -- of the wealth of information that they can gather about the conditions, formation and evolution of the solar system. Like most treasure hunters, we have some ideas of what we hope to find, but we often discover the unexpected -- providing a rich cache of new data that forces us to re-evaluate our ideas.
Our understanding of the solar system is constantly changing as we make new discoveries. Nineteenth century astronomers found a variety of small asteroids, causing them to re-evaluate Ceres and re-classify it as an asteroid rather than a new planet. Similarly, the discovery of other large Kuiper Belt objects such as Eris and Sedna was shortly followed by the International Astronomical Union's new classification of distant, icy Pluto as a dwarf planet -- a change that remains controversial to this day.
Ongoing missions are making surprising discoveries throughout our solar system and beyond. The MESSENGER mission orbiting Mercury has found far more widespread volcanism than anticipated, and has confirmed the ground-based telescopic evidence that Mercury's core is still molten despite expectations that the planet would have completely cooled by now. The Dawn mission's investigation of the asteroid Vesta have revealed bizarre grooves and a massive impact basin. The fly-by missions EPOXI and Stardust-NExT discovered that different cometary nuclei can have very different characteristics. Missions studying distant stars and galaxies have also focused on objects within our solar system: the Hubble Space Telescope has made detailed observations of planets, comets and asteroids over the years and recently discovered a fourth moon around Pluto; and its sister telescope, the Spitzer infrared observatory, has studied distant planetary systems still cocooned in dust.
In addition to information to be returned from ongoing missions, data gathered from ground-based telescopes, past missions and return samples continue to provide new ideas. For example,

Limousine Services in Rockingham, North Carolina (NC)
Limousine Service ConsiderationsSo, you've decided it's party time and you need a limo. Here are a few things you'll need to think of before contacting a limo rental providerin Rockingham, North Carolina.
What is your limo budget? Limo rentals are affordable. Many limo rental companies in Rockingham, North Carolina have prom limousine packages, wedding limousine packages, and corporate limo rates.
What type of limo and how many will you need? Limousines come in many types, from stretch (which can hold large groups), special styles such as Hummer limo's, smaller sedans, and even limo buses for the extremely large parties. Be sure to get a participant head count and order the appropriate size limousine for the event. With weddings, decide if the whole bridal party will travel in one limo or multiple limos. Also, decide when the wedding transportation services will be needed. Will you want transportation to and from the wedding or just when departing the wedding reception?
Ask for any package deals or special pricing for certain occasions. Most Rockingham, North Carolina limo services have wedding package deals, as well as prom party limousine packages.
Ask to see the limousine. Once you have decided on a limo servicein Rockingham, North Carolina, ask to see the limo you are renting. Make sure that the one you want is the one you are renting. Check out the amenities and inquire if there are extra charges for beverages or snacks. This is a good time to check and verify that the service is licensed and insured. Ask about your chauffeur's gratuity. Most companies have a mandatory gratuity policy for their drivers which is usually anywhere from 15% to 20%. Check your contract and make sure you get all that you need, that times and dates are correct, and prices are as agreed upon.

The SC Doubles Championship is being held August 25-26.
While it is a C Tier this year, we are still doing 100% payback on entry fees to players and adding, at this time, $350 to the pro purse. Everytime we sell another CFR disc, its another $20 toward the pro purse...so I fully expect to have a minimum of $500 added to the pro purse.

My initial forays into Fanfiction land were focused on Remus Lupin. While I still love him, I quickly discovered the depth to which I had been neglecting Severus Snape. I was shown just how many layers one can invent for him, he never ends and I adore him. I've also discovered that I find angst deeply fascinating and that is mostly what I read. I can handle humor based fictions in small quantities, but anything parody like is not what I want. Therefore, my ridiculously long favorites list if filled with Snape or Lupin centric angst stories, with the occasional story that is immensely well written even without the inspiration of the above.
A Note on Reviews: Words form five percent of communication. Thus, it can be incredibly difficult to express oneself properly in the vast sensory deprived zone of cyber space. I would never seriously insult an author or imply that they are remiss in not updating. If I ever appear to do so I'm joking. Things like sarcasm and humor can be totally lost between two people who have absolutely no actual contact with one another, and thus no knowledge of their mutual natures, or the vocal or physical variety necessary to explain what those naked texts mean. Smiley faces can only be used so often before becoming utterly ridiculous.
All that to say, if I have ever offended anyone or made a current distress more difficult to bear it was never my intention. I sometimes forget that what I type in a bubble filled frame of mind may be interpreted painfully otherwise to someone in a different mood.
My favorites list is too long. It's becoming ridiculous, not that it matters since I'm the only one who probably ever looks at it. Nevertheless, I'm going to stick the names of completed fics I adore here since I mostly use my favorites to keep track of updates to wonderful stories
River Styx, Harry Potter and the Daughter of Light, Oblivious, Once in a Blue Moon, Veiled Revelations, Symphony for Quartet, and A Different Sort of Peace.

With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and statehood in 1812, Louisiana formally became a part of the emerging American republic. Many Louisiana natives however, still considered themselves part of the earlier French and Spanish cultures, beginning the evolution of the American-European hybridization of Louisiana culture.
Portraiture dominated Louisiana painting in the first half of the 19th century. Unlike the aristocratic 18th century portraits, portraits in the 19th century reflect the more bourgeois appearance of the burgeoning middle class – proper but not ostentatious. The demand for portraits grew with the increasing antebellum prosperity, and artists flocked to the area to seek their fortunes. Many of these import artists travelled from Europe, especially France, due to the long-standing ties between that country and Louisiana. Two of the most successful and talented were Jacques Amans and Jean Joseph Vaudechamp, and their restrained neo-classic style of French art became popular with Louisiana patrons and artists alike.
Another influence on the character of Louisiana culture was that of the indigenous population. Indian ideas were an indispensable source for early settlers trying to adapt to the region, and this assimilation was mutual, as illustrated by Alfred Boisseau's Indians Walking Along the Bayou. A hybridization of culture can be seen in this work, for the child carries Indian implements, the man carries an American rifle, and the clothing is Indian in style but cut from European or American fabrics.
Public interest in art waned mid-century as epidemics and the economic depression caused by the Civil War and Reconstruction strangled New Orleans. In the last quarter of the 19th century, however, New Orleans became the visual arts center of the "New South" as both formal and informal arts organizations flourished and provided a cohesive climate for artistic creation. Portraiture's predominance was gradually supplanted by landscape and genre painting. The technological advances and increasing popularity of photography were also a factor in the declining demand for more expensive painted portraits.
The popularity of landscape painting was encouraged by the young nation's westward expansion and interest in previously unknown vistas and natural wonders. Louisiana artists, beginning with Richard Clague, developed an indigenous school of landscape painting that combined "luminosity" with a simple and direct pictorial naturalism.
The work of Achille Perelli and George Viavant illustrates the unusual contribution Southern artists made to the tradition of still-life painting. Images of dead game and fish, characterized by extremely precise tromp l'oeil (fool-the-eye) detail and vivid coloration, became a staple of late 19th century academic painting in New Orleans. This tradition had become popular prior to the Civil War and remained so, valued as trophies by sportsmen and as souvenirs by tourists.
The most compelling genre subjects were those events that took place along the banks of the Mississippi River. Because their character is primarily narrative, these scenes are not marked by a strong stylistic identity. However, the general development in painting at this time was towards looser, more fluid brushwork and a brighter palette. In depicting the waterways, the land and its inhabitants, 19th century Louisiana artists further refined the concept of the South as a clearly identifiable entity in American life. This concept would come to concern artists more and more in the early twentieth century.
In the early 20th century, Louisiana artists continued to define the character of the South and develop a Southern aesthetic. Earlier generations of artists, believing the South was isolated and unique, retreated to romanticism and nostalgia. Later generations, however, welcomed the inevitable changes of modern forces. Establishing contact with other regions, these artists explored the issue of a Southern aesthetic in a larger, less provincial context.
Many Louisiana artists continued to favor landscape painting but no one genre dominated. Indeed, creative options were expanded by the establishment in 1890 of the Newcomb College School of Art. Its pottery and crafts enterprise intended to provide employment for women at a time when they had few opportunities in the commercial world.
The most influential figures in Southern art at this time were the Woodward brothers, William and Ellsworth. Although born in Massachusetts, the Woodward brothers made New Orleans their home and devoted themselves to promoting Southern culture and art – as artists, teachers and administrators. Ellsworth Woodward was the first Dean of the Newcomb School of Art and a founding trustee of the Isaac Delgado Museum of Art [now NOMA].
During this period, Southern artists practiced a variety of styles ranging from the most conservative to the most experimental. The landscapes that remained popular illustrate the American version of Impressionism. William Woodward's paintings embody this so-called "genteel" Impressionism which retains the exuberant brushwork and vibrant colors of French Impressionism, but is tamer and more low-keyed with decorative overtones.
International and frequently controversial avant-garde art movements were introduced to New Orleans by the Arts and Crafts Club, founded in 1921. Through the organization, Southern artists were kept abreast of the struggle between representation and abstraction occupying the larger art world. This conflict is manifest in the work of Will Henry Stevens, a professor at Newcomb College, whose paintings may be divided into two distinct categories: representative landscapes bearing the structural influence of Paul Cézanne and color/form abstractions recalling the work of Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee.
Modern and contemporary Louisiana artists continued the area's rich and diverse arts tradition. John McCrady, who came to be aligned with the Regionalist art movement during his early career, returned to his Louisiana roots and found the subject of African-American life in the South to be of particular interest. McCrady later established an art school in New Orleans' French Quarter and trained many of the next generation of artists. During the 1950s, New Orleans-born Fritz Bultman exhibited regularly with the New York School of noted Abstract Expressionists. A number of contemporary artists living and working in Louisiana during the 1970s achieved national prominence, including Robert Gordy, Ida Kohlmeyer and Jim Richard. Important figures who are still active include Lin Emery, known for metal kinetic sculptures, and John Scott, whose works often refer to his African-American heritage and to the strong musical culture of New Orleans. A popular favorite in the Contemporary Louisiana galleries is a painting from George Rodrigue's Blue Dog series.

Much of the Titanic is not only underneath 2 miles of water, but is also buried in the seabed itself. When Titanic foundered and sank to the bottom of the north Atlantic, it plowed into the seabed at almost 35 miles per hour. The collision generated an undersea crater similar in shape to what a meteor would create when slamming into a planet.
Check out the Mystic Aquarium's website for information on Titanic — 12,450 Feet Below. The interactive exhibit has recreations of the Titanic's wreckage and a hands-on engine room for kids to explore. It looks pretty amazing, but I'm not sure I can justify the 18 1/2 hour trip to Connecticut to visit it.
