WEST CHESTER ľ A crumbling wall at the front of the Charles A. Melton Arts and Education Center has a new life after a mural depicting the centerĺs past and future was finished earlier this week.
For the past few weeks, artist Carrie Kingsbury of Promiseland Murals has been working to transform the wall facing Market Street into a mural that represents the history of the center and its future plans.
The final piece was completed early this week after about two weeks of work and will be shown off at the centerĺs Community Day on Aug. 17.
According to Kenneth Winston, executive director of the center, the wall has been something that the board and those at the center have wanted to fix for a long time.
ôI started here in 2010, and one of the very first things I said was Ĺthat wall has to get fixedĺ,ö said Winston. ôMy entire philosophy is that this historically prominent institution was a big canvas waiting for artists.ö
Winston said that the new board, along with new staff members, wanted to convey to the community that the center has been growing and expanding its offerings.
ôItĺs a depiction of everything thatĺs happened over the last four years,ö said Winston.
According to the center, its mission is ôto contribute to the quality of life for all people of the greater West Chester community by continuing its long commitment of providing educational, recreational, cultural and civic services.ö
Construction on the borough community center began in 1934 and was renamed after Charles A. Melton in 2004. Melton served as director of the center from 1966 to 1980 and is remembered for his contributions to the Civil Rights movement and improving race relations in the borough.
The mural features founder, Dr. Leslie Pinckney Hill, as well as Melton and Bertha Williams Porter, a longtime volunteer in the centerĺs daycare center. The mural also shows some of the offerings of the center, including images of the centerĺs music, theater, basketball and education programs.
Winston said that the mural will help the outside of the building match the inside, which the center has been trying to ômodernizeö for the past few years. Winston said that after renovating the centerĺs basketball courts, and the ongoing push for the new pool to be finished, fixing up the wall felt like the last piece of the puzzle.
ôThe mural caps off all of the stuff weĺve done inside,ö said Winston.
Winston noted that the community helped to contribute to the mural, with the West Chester Area Education Association donating $3,000 and ACE Hardware donating the paint. Since the mural is nearly 25 feet tall, Knox Equipment Rentals donated a lift for Kingsbury to use while she painted.
To make up the difference of the estimated $5,000 cost for the mural, the center is selling $10 raffle tickets for residents to win the original painting of the mural. The drawing of the tickets will be held at the centerĺs Community Day.
Kingsbury said that she helped to design the mural after she was given a list and photos of some of the elements the center wanted incorporated. She said that the center gave her ôfree rangeö to use different styles and techniques on the mural.
ôI was able to do more cartoon, impressionist and other styles. Iĺm really running the gamut of different styles. I got to be as colorful as Iĺd like to be.ö
Kingsbury, who started Promiseland Murals in 1999, specializes in community murals and has worked in a lot of public spaces including public high schools around the area and many hospitals in Philadelphia.
Kingsbury noted that she did receive some help from a couple students in the beginning stages of the painting, including her 12-year-old son who she said was ômentoring and helping the other childrenö since heĺs been helping his mom with murals since he was very young.
She noted that the mural represented all of the good that the center does for the community.
ôI just like how giving they are and what theyĺre doing,ö Kingsbury said. ôThe mural will raise peopleĺs morale and cheer them up and make them happy. Itĺs very colorful and happy and really shows what the community center does.ö

Hi Ryan,
Been having some fun with CGM Calendar converting it to use UK formatted dates and in the process have uncovered a couple of bugs, probably cut'n'paste errors.
The error strings for dealing with the exclude_dates_select in both the add and update cases have "incorrect include" instead of "incorrect exclude".
More seriously in the update case the validation check for day uses $date[0] rather than $date[1] in the intval < 1 or intval > 31 conditions.
BTW: I think CGM Calendar is a great plugin, I tried a lot of them before settling on this one. Converting it over to use UK d/m/Y formatted dates was a pain in the butt though but looking at the code it would require a serious re-architecture to make this configurable.
Cheers, Greg.

Thinking about running Windchill® 9.1 on SQL Server? Then you'll want to know about versions and compatibility. Look no further.
Windchill® 9.1 supports Microsoft® SQL Server® 2005. You also need to choose the edition of SQL Server 2005 that you want to deploy. You do not want to deploy Express, Developer, or Workgroup editions because these are not designed for enterprise use. You need to deploy either Standard or Enterprise editions. You can compare the different editions of SQL Server 2005 here: Choose the Right Edition for Your Needs. The most important distinction is the number of CPUs on the box. Standard Edition only supports 4 processors, Enterprise supports unlimited CPUS. CPUs are counted as physical sockets, so two quad core that show up as 8 processors in your task manager, is really just 2 CPUs from the SQL Server licensing stand point.
Though the 32-bit standard edition of SQL Server 2005 will install on Windows Vista and Windows XP, we highly recommend that you install SQL Server on a server-based operating system—either Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008. There is no 64-bit version of SQL Server 2005, but it will install on a 64-bit version of the OS, under WOW64. You can find out more about version compatibility here: Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2008
One thing to note is that SQL Server 2008 has the ability to use all the RAM that the operating system supports. So the OS you're considering will affect how much RAM SQL Server can use. Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition is limited to 4 GB for 32-bit processors. Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and Datacenter editions have a 64 GB limit for 32-bit processors. So it is best to use Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition to make sure of the additional RAM for SQL Server.

Nora be is a progesterone only pills, that is it has only progesterone, no estrogen. Such a medicine has no inactive pills or iron pills.
No estrogen means less risk of heart problems, stroke, thrombosis, liver damage.
However these may lead to irregular bleeding.

Nope, haven't had that problem at all. All these games seem to work without a glitch. The only one that seems to have a small problem is NBA Live 2006. It seems that after the huddle between each quarter there is a small delay, this could be due to loading issues though.
Posted 29 November 2005 - 10:09 PM
how bout when you first start the nba live demo and it closes in on his face after showing the court mine pauses noticably right there for a second. could you try it out for me?

Tom McGrath, who has died of liver cancer aged 68, was a prolific poet, playwright, jazz innovator and arts activist of benign personality and wide-ranging influence.
He was born on the outskirts of Glasgow in 1940 to workingclass Scottish-Italian-Catholic parents. During his schooldays and late teens he emancipated his mind via Glasgow music hall and slapstick comedy, the Goons, modern poetry, the European avant-garde, and the US folk, blues, bop and rock innovations that were priming the new internationalist popular culture of the early 1960s.
In 1962 he met his future wife Maureen in a late-night jazz club he and some fellow musos were running called The Cell. She was a student at Glasgow School of Art and he at the Commercial College. They married in June 1963, and in September moved to London, where the first of their four daughters was born two months later. After discovering that Alexander Trocchi's existentialist-hipster chronicles Young Adam and Cain's Book were rooted as deeply in Glasgow as New York, McGrath contacted and befriended Trocchi. He also fell in with another revolutionary ex-Glaswegian, R.D. Laing, together with other catalysts of the anti-establishment impulses burgeoning at the time.
McGrath had been publishing experimental poems in magazines from 1962 on and - a dedicated CND supporter - was features editor of Peace News for two years from spring 1964. He was one of the 17 poets from eight countries who read at the First International Poetry Incarnation which packed out the Albert Hall in June 1965. I featured a substantial selection of his poetry in various issues of New Departures over four decades, and in my anthology of then emergent voices, Children of Albion: Poetry of the Underground in Britain (Penguin 1969). His first collection of verse, My Love Stop Rain Stop, also appeared in 1969 from Ambit Books.
Tom was a jazz troubadour-playwright par excellence. Like Laing, the trumpeter and bandleader Shake Keane, Ivor Cutler, Roy Fisher, Jeff Nuttall, Barry Fantoni, Pete Brown and other early British performance poets, he was also a seasoned and versatile musician, whose contributions at the multimedic gigs which gradually proliferated in London and round the country were always spontaneously inventive and resourceful were always spontaneously inventive and resourceful. His piano playing revelled in the effervescent freedoms conjured up by Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell and their ilk. In his written and oral poetry McGrath was an authentic renewer and extender, in his own Scots vernacular, of what Allen Ginsberg observed in Kerouac as 'bop prosody' and what the Black Mountain College magus Charles Olson termed 'Projective Verse... in which one perception leads immediately to the next'.
McGrath frequently returned to a weekend conference of 'like minds' convened by Trocchi and Laing in spring 1966 at Brazier's Park, a house owned by Quakers in the Oxfordshire countryside. The would-be worldchanging minds included Laing's fellow anti-psychiatrists Sid Briskin and David Cooper, the combative American radical journalist Clancy Sigal, Beba Lavrin, who had co-founded the Centre 42 arts-into-factories movement, the anarchist conceptual artist John Latham, the polymath Jeff Nuttall who recalled the gathering in his Bomb Culture (1968), and their respective buddies, lovers and spouses. Tom and Maureen were among the youngest participants, at first in some awe of the high-sounding aspirations of Laing's Kingsley Hall community of regenerative insanity, and Trocchi's Project Sigma (supposedly for 'the invisible insurrection of a million minds', though this remained largely invisible due to Trocchi's lifelong heroin evangelising).
In the Edinburgh Review 70: Trocchi Number (1985), and also in the revealing 300-page Riverside Interviews 6: Tom McGrath (conducted and edited by Gavin Selerie, Binnacle Press 1983), McGrath remembered how 'The basic idea of the conference was that an élite would seize the means of communication and then liberate the working classes. I had been infected by Marxism and thought of myself as a Communist. However, I couldn't stomach this brand of revolutionary talk. I shouted out, 'This room stinks of élitism,' and everyone went quiet. Suddenly I found myself the focus of interest of all these men who were much older and had much more status and confidence... Laing impaled me with his analytical eyes and declared, 'The trouble about you Tom is that you're essentially an innocent person. In many ways I envy you that innocence, but you're innocent nonetheless, and don't ever forget it'. My lower brow started going pulse, pulse, pulse and I said, 'What right have you got to say that to anybody?' Yet it haunted me and became a kind of defining sentence. I did a lot to try to destroy my innocence, using junk, for instance. It was something to do with manhood. There was a directness of vision they seemed to have and I didn't. It didn't bother me that it was a vision of - in Laing's case, madness, in Burroughs's case, paranoia, and in Trocchi's case, heroin... Now I'd reckon it stupid and mannered'.
Apart from getting hooked on smack himself, which McGrath soon acknowledged was a disaster ('Heroin is a beautiful kick: it fills you with longing - for more heroin'), his five years in London encompassed a gradual demystification regarding the 'kind of tyranny about... the gurus of the Underground. If you come from Glasgow there's a gremlin in you that is liable to undercut solemn behaviour at any given point. On the other hand, it was exciting to see people shaping a different reality. The Albert Hall reading rather sums up that mid-60s exuberance. The energy released a tide of mass communication. It brought poetry closer to drama. A lot of different streams of dissent and alternative living were brought together'.
He maintained a humorously sceptical stance amid the euphoria, mysticism and gathering hippie hype; witness the close of his poem 'Before you Sleep': 'Move closer and I'll tell you about the poet/who was always writing love poems about his marvels/with his angel woman in bed://you know, all the time he was writing/she was making it with a store detective.'
Tom gave up on Peace News, and moved his young family to an idyllic cottage in North Wales, gradually 'getting into Zen'. But in autumn 1966, Sue and Barry Miles (founders of Indica gallery and bookshop), John 'Hoppy' Hopkins (London underground spadeworker, photojournalist and video pioneer), and Jim Haynes (alternative bookseller and theatrical impresario) persuaded McGrath to return to the smoke and edit International Times (IT), Britain's first counter- cultural newspaper. He insisted on being paid £25 a week which, as Miles recalls in In the Sixties (2002), was 'a huge amount for those days - all the other staff were getting £10 a week. It turned out this was to pay for heroin'. IT initially proved a remarkable clearing-house for the growing 'alternative society'. There was green and anti-war politics, feminism and eroticism, pop art and new musics, high spirits and good laughs aplenty (in regard to the latter Nuttall, with a punchy cartoon strip, and McGrath himself, were particularly instrumental). Miles remembers Tom's sense of humour as 'spot-on: when he laughed his whole face screwed up in amusement, his nose pinched at the nostrils, his eyes reduced to two slits, his balding pate shining'.
McGrath's IT featured diverse mid- '60s illuminati including US and UK beats, the Beatles and The Who, Yoko Ono and Jean-Jacques Lebel, the dodgy chameleonic Michael X and the comic genius Dick Gregory. But 15 years later Tom recalled: 'I never participated fully in the hippy dream. I put out a lot of opinions, stirred things up, and took a particular stance on issues. But I was actually living with a nuclear family in Bermondsey. The contrast was ridiculous'.
Miles recalls how one day, 'Tom suddenly disappeared, taking the newspaper's only typewriter with him. It was many months till we discovered he had returned to Scotland'. As Maureen (now Shantishri) McGrath remembers it, 'During that time our lives were spinning out of control as he got more and more embroiled in heroin use. On a visit home to Scotland with the children in spring '67 I decided not to return to London. Tom agreed to join me back in Glasgow'.
The McGraths' new home soon became a drop-in pad for young Scottish writers, encouraged by Tom with readings, pamphlets and constant open-ended communality. This helped foster uncompromising experimentation on the parts of such audacious poetry voices as Lindsay Cooper, Tom Leonard and Alan Spence. In 1968 McGrath kicked his junk habit and embarked on an English & Drama degree at Glasgow University. A family retreat to the fishing village of Inverallochy was cut short when the Scottish Arts Council commissioned him to set up an Arts Centre in Glasgow. Tom took over a large empty storefront on Sauchiehall St, one of the city's main drags, where he ran the wondrously multifarious Third Eye Centre from 1974-77 (it has passed on the boogie to this day, under the Centre for Contemporary Arts rubric).
Glasgow thrilled to concerts by jazz greats like Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Stan Getz and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, courtesy of McGrath. He himself continued foraging musically, and was the piano-playing musical director of Billy Connolly's Great Northern Welly Boot Show, which transposed the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders' work-in to the 1970 Edinburgh Festival – and also brought the conjoined talents of street poet Tom Buchan, Kenny Ireland, Bill Paterson and many others to the fore. Theatre work was to hold centre stage throughout Tom's remaining 39 years.
His own first play, a probing vaudeville exploration of the old age of Laurel and Hardy, swiftly transferred from Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre to London in 1976. His second, The Hardman, was co-written with Jimmy Boyle prior to the latter's release from jail after serving part of a life sentence for murder. The play reprised Boyle's early life and examined the mania for violence so disastrously attractive to so many Glasgow males. Tom continued with playscripts of extraordinary diversity – Sisters and The Android Circuit in 1978, the autobiographical The Innocent staged by Howard Davies for the RSC, and the near-wordless, ape-heaving Animal, in 1979. In 1980 he became writer-in-residence at the Traverse, where he wrote 1-2-3 and Moondog.
In 1981 McGrath co-founded Glasgow's Tron Theatre Club, and then worked as the Scottish Arts Council's Associate Literary Director, based in the Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh. His assistant there, Ella Wildridge, became his soulmate and professional partner for his last 20 years. McGrath adapted her translation of Tankred Dorst's mythic Merlin for a spectacular Lyceum production, and he went on writing, directing and touring with show after show, including The Nuclear Family and Blowout for BBC TV; City for Tramway (1989); The Flitting (1990) for Cumbernauld; and The Dream Train (based on Bach's Goldberg Variations, 1999) and My Old Man (2005) for Nicholas Bone's Magnetic North company.
After suffering a stroke in 2003, Tom continued working with Playwrights' Studio Scotland et al, and also came round more thoroughly to the moral, pastoral, aesthetic and broadly Buddhist quests which had preoccupied him on and off since childhood – often charmingly articulated in his writings: 'brown thrush/in its beak/a blue bus ticket'; 'grey morning light/across the loch:/i am fast asleep'. Faith Liddell of Festivals Edinburgh mentioned in her funeral eulogy how 'His spiritual search returned him in the end to the Catholic faith, with a sense that he had spent his life seeking something that had been there from the beginning'. Ella Wildridge told me that, towards the end, he often repeated that he wanted 'a lucid death'. He had spent many hours meditating, but was more erratic than Maureen at staying the course with their teacher, Sri Chinmoy. She observes that he 'found it hard to reconcile the theatrical lifestyle with the discipline of Chinmoy's path'.
The friends he made all over the world are not going to quickly forget his easy-flowing improvisations, which regularly provoked the recognition, upon imbibing them, of 'What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed'. Thus: 'For seventeen years/all I ever wanted to do was/have it//Now I have had it/god knows how many times/and all i want to do is/have it again'.

A question asked by many website owners and marketing mangers, Is investment in SEO on-going?
Yes, with the changes in search engine algorithms now becoming quite regular, it is very important to keep your website up to date from search point of view to maintain search positions. Search engines have evolved quite drastically and the algorithm has improved over the period of time to produce excellent search results. Although it hard to explain what work goes into on-going optimisation as it's mostly off-page optimisation and more often than not invisible to the client. The results from on-going optimisation however need to be reported correctly to justify the investment.
Rand Fish from seomoz has created a great video explaining the importance of on-going SEO investment. He has broken down the SEO life cycle into three sections. You can watch the video here:

I have Samsung np550-p5c laptop. After purchase I shrinked Windows partition and created second one for my data. Yesterday I tried to recover Windows with native F4 recovery. Recovery went well except for one thing: my data partition became marked as "recovery". So I have two "recovery" partitions shown in Disk Management. Your opinion: was the partition reformatted while recovering? Anyone had similar problem? Is there a way to recover whole partition and/or data?
If there's any data on the disk you care about, take an image of all the data on the disk and save it for recovery. To restore the system, remove the first two partitions, create one partition out of the free space, and run the factory recovery again.
What happened is the factory recovery attempted to restore the laptop to factory conditions. It recovered the first partition to the factory Windows installation and it recovered the second partition to the factory recovery partition. It left the third partition alone.

General Discussion
Lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome is a rare genetic multisystem disorder characterized by swelling of the legs because of fluid accumulation and the development of extra eyelashes (distichiasis). Distichiasis may range from a few extra lashes to a full set of extra eyelashes. Swelling most often affects both legs (bilateral) and usually occurs around puberty. Additional anomalies sometimes associated with this disorder include early onset varicose veins, droopy eyelids (ptosis), cardiac (heart) defects, cleft palate, , cysts on the spinal cord, abnormal heart rhythm, and abnormal curvature of the spine (scoliosis). Lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome is caused by mutations of the FOXC2 gene and is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.

"Wonderful colours!" Liebfrauenkirche Tip by leics
Liebfrauenkirche, Trier: 8 reviews and 14 photos
The Gothic Liebfrauenkirche adjoins the Trierer Dom so there really is no excuse for missing it!
Although the exact date of construction is not known an inscription painted on one of its twelve columns (representing the 12 Apostles) states that it was started in 1227. It is certainly the oldest Gothic church in Germany and almost certainly stands on a site used for earlier place of worship (a glass segment in the floor allows you a glimpse of earlier structures). For centuries the Liebfrauenkirche was used by the cathedral clergy for their daily Mass and also as a burial place, although the graves have long been removed.
It's a round church, unusual in itself, and its interior is lovely: cross-shaped aisles, twelve columns which all have paintings. The stained glass, although modern, is really beautiful. I was lucky enough to visit on a day with sunshine: a gentleman stopped me as I was about to enter the church and told me (in German) how beautiful the windows were that day and said I must go inside. He was right: the whole interior seemed bathed in coloured light, with patterns on the sides of the columns. It was truly lovely.
Address: Liebfrauenstrasse
Directions: Right next to Trierer Dom.

Green Products Gain From New Price Equation
They Find New Buyers As High Energy Costs Hurt Regular Brands
Does it finally pay to go green?
Consumers typically have paid a premium for environmentally friendly products. But with soaring energy prices pushing up the price of mainstream goods, green products are becoming just as -- or even more -- affordable these days.
The reason is that environmentally friendly products usually have less fossil-fuel content than competing nongreen brands. Their manufacture also tends to consume less oil, since green entrepreneurs favor renewable-energy and energy-saving practices.
The new price parity -- and, in some cases, advantage -- is allowing businesses to draw in the growing ranks of consumers who want to go green, but have so far resisted because of the higher cost. It also is giving some companies incentive to branch out into other eco-friendly products and even adopt more energy-saving manufacturing techniques.
"We try to leverage situations like this to grow into new markets," says Jeff Mendelsohn, founder and chief executive officer of New Leaf Paper LLC, a maker of recycled paper. "Where there's instability in prices, buyers tend to be more open to new sourcing, and that's a general market strategy, not just green."
Stable Prices
Eco-Products Inc., a Boulder, Colo., company that makes compostable dinnerware, expects revenue to jump this year to an estimated $50 million from about $11 million last year. "It's great for us," says Chief Executive Steve Savage. "Our products are made from a corn derivative, and our competition uses petroleum. They are having price increases where our prices are stable."
Instead of petroleum-based plastic, Eco-Products uses a corn-based polymer produced by NatureWorks LLC of Minnetonka, Minn., a unit of Cargill & Teijin Ltd. of Japan. Dennis McGrew, CEO of NatureWorks, says the polymer has roughly 68% less fossil-fuel content than petroleum-based plastics and emits less than 90% as many greenhouse gases.
Mr. McGrew says NatureWorks supplies other small businesses with the resin. And for many of them, he adds, a big part of the sales pitch is built on the fact that they reduce fossil-fuel use.
The new affordability of going green also is emboldening some businesses to expand their product lines.
Price Parity
- What's Happening: Green products are becoming more competitive -- and popular -- as soaring energy prices bump up the cost of mainstream goods.
- The Advantage: Environmentally friendly products typically contain less fossil-fuel content. And their production tends to consume less oil.
- Taking Action: Small firms are branching out into other eco-friendly products and adopting more energy- efficient production techniques.
TerraCycle Inc., a maker of fertilizer from worm castings, plans to market an artificial fire log this winter that has soy wax as a key component. Its biggest competitor makes a petroleum-based version.
The company also is using trash -- such as wrappers and empty juice pouches -- to fashion new products, including backpacks, homework folders and pencil cases. Some of the products have been on the market since April, and others will be available in September. Prices start at $1.99 for a pencil case; backpacks cost $12.99.
"We make a product out of garbage," says Tom Szaky, TerraCycle's CEO, "so our raw-materials prices aren't going up. Many other raw materials are linked to petroleum products, so everyone else's costs are going up." Mr. Szaky sees demand for the new products being driven by a growing environmental consciousness among consumers.
TerraCycle projects that revenue will grow to about $15 million in 2009 from $8 million this year.
Efficient Manufacturing
High energy prices are driving some entrepreneurs to devise ways to use more renewable sources or come up with energy-saving manufacturing practices.
New Leaf Paper's Mr. Mendelsohn says the company is working closely with a network of mills to develop more energy-efficient paper-making processes. Traditionally, mills are powered by coal, electricity purchased from the grid or biomass that's produced when virgin wood fiber is turned into pulp. But New Leaf and its mill partners are now looking at alternative energy sources, such as burning wastewood or scrap from demolition sites, to power the mills.
A Canadian mill working with New Leaf uses methane gas captured from a landfill as a power source. Mr. Mendelsohn calls it a "triple win" because the process keeps the methane from being released into the air (where it would raise levels of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas), creates a clean-burning fuel and doesn't require the use of costly fossil fuels.
Even in the organic-foods niche, high energy prices are having an impact. Many organic-food companies work with farmers who use sustainable methods to produce commodities including wheat. While this can result in more expensive wheat, prices tend to stay stable. And that stability can be a boon when prices of conventional goods are jumping.
"It creates a system that's less volatile, and benefits us in times like this," says John Foraker, chief executive officer of Annie's Inc., a Napa, Calif.-based maker of organic macaroni and cheese, pizza and other foods. Mr. Foraker says he has seen consumer prices on mainstream products rise at a higher rate than in his business.
The eco-friendly market isn't completely immune from the effect of high energy prices, however.
It costs just as much to deliver an environmentally friendly product to another city as it does to move its mainstream counterpart. And high gas prices have forced shipping companies to raise their rates.
"Everybody's boat is rocking the same amount there," Mr. Foraker says.

We'd been planning the trip since Lauren was 7, soon after I heard about the Sweet 16 parties South Jersey parents threw for their girls. Elaborate occasions with multi-course meals, tributes, and even a first dance with Dad seemed more fitting for a bride than for an adolescent's coming-of-age. Soon after my own 16th birthday, I'd left home for a summer tour of Europe. I couldn't re-create that life-altering trip for Lauren, but I wanted to at least give her a taste of it.
The idea came when I'd married her father 10 months after relocating from the West Coast to join his family. By then Lauren was calling me Mommy. She had been eager to stand beside us with her older brother as we exchanged vows, adorable in powder-blue lace, her white-gloved hands clutching a basket of flowers. Lauren was puzzled that we skipped a honeymoon trip, asking me later where I would have liked to go. When I told her Paris, her eyes grew wide.

Amazon.com Review
Guest Reviewer: Jon Lee Anderson on The Unconquered
In an age when there is little left in the world that can be said to be still "virgin," contemporary travel literature has come to seem increasingly derivative, even farcical. The Unconquered: In Search of the Amazon's Last Uncontacted Tribes is a rare exception, an original that works on several levels. Scott Wallace has sensitively documented the immensity, history, the terror, and the beauty of one of the world's last true wildernesses and the people who live within it. This is a wonderful book: deeply moving, riveting by turns, laced with finely wrought passages.
On the one hand, The Unconquered is the account of a nightmarish three-month expedition into the Amazon jungle in 2002 led by the irascible Brazilian wilderness explorer Sydney Possuelo, a legendary defender of the region's last uncontacted Indians. Rife through with moments of danger, loneliness, and hunger, as well as the testosterone-fuelled dramas that seem peculiar to groups of men undergoing hard times together, The Unconquered makes a spellbinding tale of real-life high-adventure.
This is also the account of an equally fascinating inward journey taken by its author, the American journalist Scott Wallace, who originally joined Possuelo on his trek in order to write about his journey for National Geographic. In this book, Wallace, who renders memorable portraits of his fellow expeditionaries (the cook, Mauro, haunted by nightmares about monkeys who castrate him; Soldado the backwoods scout, who refuses to return home and see his aging mother) is also brutally honest about himself. Recently divorced, Wallace sets off into the jungle just shy of his forty-eighth birthday; he is out-of-shape, guilt-ridden for not having said goodbye to his three young sons, and fretful about the implications of a prolonged separation with his new girlfriend.
The main character of The Unconquered, however, is Sydney Possuelo, a larger-than-life figure who emerges as a kind of Indian Jones- meets latter-day Bartolome de las Casas. Some years before Wallace met him, Possuelo, Brazil's best-known sertanista, or "agent of contact" with the Amazon's isolated indigenous people, had undergone a crisis of conscience about the destruction wrought by his life's work. He had become instead the main proponent of a no-contact policy for the Amazon's remaining "uncontacted" tribes. He had lobbied for and secured the designation of a vast Maine-sized tract of Amazonian wilderness called the Javari Valley Indigenous Land, to be closed off to all outsiders in perpetuity. It was the refuge of several uncontacted tribes hostile to outsiders, including the implacable flecheiros, the Arrow People, whose territory Possuelo planned to explore.
The motives behind Possuelo's 2002 expedition seemed nonetheless obscure, even contradictory. As Possuelo explained it to Wallace, he wished to gather vital information about the flecheiros and to ascertain their wellbeing, but could only do so by penetrating their sanctuary on foot and by dugout canoe with a band of armed men, while at the same time seeking to avoid contact with them. During the journey itself, the inescapable Catch-22 of Possuelo's logic became more and more apparent until the moment, retold dramatically by Wallace, when the expeditionaries blundered inevitably through a flecheiro settlement, spreading panic as they went.
In the end, The Unconquered is the unforgettable story of a troubled journey through a doomed landscape, its characters—the outsiders and the Indians—locked together in an ever-tightening fatal embrace by their respective needs and compulsions.
At one point in the book, Possuelo points to a path they have slashed out of the jungle with their machetes and tells Wallace: "Five years from now, you will never know we were here." But Wallace is unconvinced, and notes ruefully: "It was doubtful the Arrow People would forget us so easily."
Jon Lee Anderson is a staff writer for the New Yorker magazine. His books include: "Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life," "The Fall of Baghdad," and "The Lion's Grave: Dispatches from Afghanistan." Anderson began his reporting career in 1979, in Peru. In 2009, he won an Overseas Press Club Award for his reporting on Rio de Janeiro's gangland.
"Wallace's foreboding is matched by his sense of wonder." – New York Times Book Review
"Astonishing." – The London Sunday Times
"A rousing adventure tale." – Wall Street Journal
"Wallace's gripping account takes us upriver to a place very few outsiders have ever seen." – The Boston Globe
"What a great book! An adventure story worthy of Joseph Conrad or Peter Matthiessen." – The Oregonian
"Rousing." – TIME
"Startlingly novelistic." – Salon.com
"It's easy to picture The Unconquered being made into a movie." – Washington Post Express
"Masterful...positively cinematic." – Yale Alumni Magazine
"An eye-opening read…one of the most gripping pieces of non-fiction around…. You'll swear you are reading a thriller novel." – Guernica
"Dream assignment or nightmare? An editor from National Geographic asked journalist Scott Wallace to join an expedition into the deepest wilds of the Amazon jungle to find the mysterious 'People of the Arrow.' While the experience was pretty much a nightmare, it's a blessing for readers of Wallace's fascinating book." — Associated Press
"Echoing Amazonia's earliest European explorers, Wallace crafts a tale that is part gripping adventure story, part window into the unexpected complexities of a developing country where uncontacted tribes stand between a resource-hungry economy and an area abounding in natural wealth." – Indian Country Today
"Rife with poachers, drug smugglers, illegal gold miners and violent tribes already acquainted with the dangers of modern life…Wallace describes the trek in vivid, if unsettling, terms." – Maclean's
"Wallace joins the tribe of jungle-besotted literary types led by Redmond O'Hanlon and David Grann and presents a credibly incredible tale about his voyage past the edge of modernity." – Huffington Post
"A gripping tale of adventure." – Washingtonian
"While it's hard to imagine that 'stone-age' tribes still persist in a world of cell phones, satellites and social media, it's even harder to understand how difficult it is to police these isolated regions, to keep them free of outsiders who could endanger a way of life that has nearly disappeared…Wallace's narrative is apt and penetrating." – SEJournal

All singing, all dancing, all color: Rio 2 is a modern, studio animation blockbuster spilling all over the place, rather than arching into the sky.
Rio 2 wants to be a musical, but instead of timing songs to, say, the emotional peaks of the characters, director Carlos Saldanha opts for high-intensity intervals of singing every four minutes.
The net effect is a shapeless would-be diversion in which things just happen independently, a string of effects missing any cause.

Jul 16, 2014The first movie was a silent hit. One of the best animations on that year. Usually successful movies make comeback in sequels and I expectedThe first movie was a silent hit. One of the best animations on that year. Usually successful movies make comeback in sequels and I expected the 'Rio 2', but was not sure. 'Ice Age' series were the massive hit from the Blue Sky Studios. Other movies did not look like coming back in sequels. So 'Rio' gave them a chance to go on with a sequel. After this movie's success, now you can count on the 3rd as well. If it doesn't come then it will be a disappointment.
Nowadays the animation industry is not targeting only the children, but adults as well. So the contents, including the story must benefit all age groups. This movie series were excellent, good story with messages in it. Especially this second movie talks about wildlife conservation like the movie 'Happy Feet'. Showing to the kids would be an educational. What a cute way to learn something valuable.
Blu and Jewel with three kids enjoying the life. Jewel is an ideal mother who wants her kids to learn everything that birds can do naturally. But Blu who was once a human companion is not made for those. This is the issue wanted to be solved after all they are the last of their kind on the planet. One day they get a news that the explorer sighted a whole flock of blue macaw on the Amazon wilderness. Blu and Jewel decides to go and find them and let their kids to connect with their roots. So this adventure is our great entertainment. Lots of fun and even more than that. Just like in the 'Madagascar' movie, who discovers where they originally belong to.
''Birds of blue feathers...
Have to stick together.''
The songs were really good and my favorite track is 'let's come together (beautiful creatures)'. Beautiful jungle beats, it is the latest addition to my free time listening list. There was nothing special in digital 3D, but definitely not bad. I saw the first movie in the regular version, but I enjoyed watching this in 3D. The story was not great, but humors were. The human characters were avoided until it gets into a crucial stage. The expansion of characters was exceptional. The original sidekicks from the first movie set aside to make their own fun which partially detached from mainstream story. The newer ones opened another dimension of the family and friend related drama, with happiness found and the jealousy kind of stuffs. Overall, a good animation, hard to leave behind unseen and not to suggest others. So if you like animations then don't listen to anybody, just go for it.

I'm far from a prude, but that made me feel dirty to read. Blech!
whatever Carollani. that is a beautiful example of people helping other people out. a great use of the review format.
And now I know what Glands of Montgomery are called.
We truly live in a global age. I wish this site existed when I was 13 and we had Cinemax. You really had to take your chances on some of those movies.
Havoc was horrible. It felt like I was missing, oh, 30 minutes of the movie and the ending. It's been awhile, though. I forgot the film existed until I saw the image.
"Her nipple is fully engorged and erect and in such a state represents the equivalent of a full female erection. Such a state cannot be acted. She is sexually fully aroused in this scene."
kt, I am absolutely all for ogling actors and actresses, but that paragraph right there makes me want to wretch bile all over my keyboard.
Anne Hathaway is UGLY.
I ♥ spl.
The nipple thing is incredibly stupid. Any woman who's been topless in a freezing room or has breastfed a child knows that nipples can be completely 'engorged' (?) without any feelings of sexual arousal at all. A woman can also be very 'wet' (even to the point of leaking through clothes!) simply due to changes in cervical fluid around ovulation. Nothing to do with arousal.
Not that she wasn't, but. Just doing my part to correct the very tiring and constant projection that a woman must be aroused simply because the guy looking at her is.
Movie Nudity boards are the lulz.
In my childhood experience, the softcore on Cinemax always sucked (pun certainly not intended). HBO's stuff was too slick and lacking, while Showtime always pushed the envelope the farthest, even if their offerings were trashier on average.
I wonder if Anne Hathaway likes crab and asparagus omelettes for breakfast.
I dunno. adoctorwrites's write-up almost borders on satire. It's difficult to say whether it's incredibly creepy or brilliantly funny.

The next NUX Manchester event is Monday 1st August at our home in the office of Rentalcars.com, at 35 Fountain Street, just behind Primark in Manchester City Centre.
This time Kev Murray & David Draper from Valtech will demonstrate the Lean UX technique of "Assumption Mapping" with a workshop session that will have you taking a new product idea and exploring it from the perspective of identifying and prioritising assumptions.
Lean UX introduced a technique called Assumption Mapping as an approach to identifying areas of uncertainty and hence drive prototyping. We've found that this method can be tailored to provide a framework that brings together stakeholders from all disciplines.
In development of a new product or service, this approach can reduce costly mistakes by enabling prioritisation of a range of activities from data analysis and technical exploration through to user research and prototyping.
In this workshop session you will take a new product idea and explore it from the perspective of identifying and prioritising assumptions. We will also share some examples of where this has driven rapid delivery of MVPs as well as supporting avoidance of costly mistakes.
Please note that this event will be an interactive workshop.

A user recently informed me that my comments sections weren't working and that he couldn't submit his comments on my site. When anyone types up their comment in the comment box below each of my posts or pages and clicks the Post Comment button, it says "Posting Comment" on the button then says "Submitting Comment" and reloads the page. After that it doesn't do anything. The comment doesn't show up in my dashboard or live on my blog.
It was fine before...What happened? Is it something to do with the theme?
If you want to see the problem for yourself, head to my blog and click on any random post or page and try to comment. You will see what I mean.
I am using the Mystique theme and am on version 3.4.2 of WordPress (I don't want to update to 3.5 until I get this fixed). It has been happening for over a month now. I have tried posting a topic in the Mystique support forum (but no one replied).
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
