Venus crosses the Sun
Astronomers love eclipses. And this has been a great year for them!
Never look directly at the Sun, even for a second! It will damage your eyesight forever!
To view a solar eclipse, use special solar viewing glasses. Get them from a camera store or online. Welding goggles will also work.
An eclipse happens when one object in space gets right in front of another object in space. Seeing that happen is awesome! And it is a chance to learn more about one or both of the objects.
Depending on what gets in front of what, we have different names for the eclipse.
To form an eclipse, the two objects and the observer must be located along a straight line.
These are the most notable eclipses we see on Earth. During a solar eclipse, daylight gets dimmer for a few minutes, then returns to normal. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon may look like an orange ball. We can still see it because it reflects some sunlight that has grazed Earth's atmosphere, becoming reddened and scattered by the atmosphere as if at sunset.
There is one other very rare eclipse that we can also see happening before our very SHIELDED eyes. That one is called a "Venus transit." Venus orbits closer to the Sun than Earth does. Sometimes Venus passes between Earth and the Sun. When things are lined up just right, we can see Venus as a small black dot moving across the face of the Sun.
How often can we see a Venus transit?
The answer is—not often! If you are more than 8 years old, you have been very lucky, because there have already been two Venus transits during your life. One occurred June 5 and 6, 2012. The previous one occurred in June 2004. But after 2012, the next one will not occur until 2117! You will have wait until way past your 100th birthday to see the next one. Want to know why?
Since the invention of the telescope, Venus transits have occurred in:
- 1631 (not witnessed) & 1639
- 1761 & 1769
- 1874 & 1882
- 2004 & 2012
Watch this video of the June 5, 2012, Venus transit as seen by the NOAA GOES-15 Solar X-Ray Imager.
Awesome, huh?!

|This is the article on the threads used by puppeteers. For the Fūma clan suicidal technique, head to Chakra Threads.
Chakra Threads is a technique that is usually used by puppeteers to allow them to control their puppets in battle.
These strings are constructs made from very concentrated chakra, therefore they can be seen by people besides the user. A skilled user can suppress the chakra so that the strings become invisible, as Chiyo did with the Manipulating Attack Blades to sneak a string to bind Hiruko's iron tail.[2] These strings essentially act as an extension of the user which allows them to manipulate whatever is attached to their strings - such as hidden weaponry in a puppet - as they please.[3] Chakra can also be transferred via the strings, such as to activate techniques that the puppets can use.[4] The chakra strings can also be attached to other objects, allowing the user to control, or at the very least disrupt other things.
In one instance, Kankurō uses chakra strings to trip Naruto Uzumaki when they first met.[5] In another, Chiyo uses chakra strings to control a person like a puppet. Kankurō has shown the ability to attach his chakra strings to those of another user's.[6] This technique is limited to one main string per finger for normal humans, but Sasori's modified core was able to emit enough strings to control over one hundred puppets. In Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Lost Tower, Mukade attached his chakra threads to the pipes in Rōran to expand the number of threads to thousands, allowing him to control thousands of puppets.


text: HeatCheck 149 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 The 2012-13 CFB season could see yet another champion out of the SEC. LSU and Bama will certainly still be contenders to bring home the title once again for the SEC. Also, this year 2 new members were added to the league with Texas A&M (West) and Mizzou (East). Should be a fun and wide open year in the SEC. SEC EAST Florida: Finished last season with a disappointing 7-6 season. But with stable QB play and one of the best defenses in the SEC, the Gators could see a jump in the win column. Key Players: DT Sharrif Floyd, LB Jelani Jenkins, LB Jon Bostic, S Matt Elam __________________________________________________________________________________________ Georgia: Have yet another another easy schedule that should put them as favorites to win the East. RB Crowell was kicked off team but look for freshman and NC native, Keith Marshall to fill in right away. Key Players: QB Aaron Murray, DT John Jenkins, LB Jarvis Jones, S Bacarri Rambo __________________________________________________________________________________________ Kentucky: Not looking good for Joker Phillips as he will have to prove himself after a disappointing year. Not many bright spots on this team and should finish last in the East. Key Players: RB Josh Clemons, OL Larry Watford, DE Collins Ukwu, S Martavius Nelson __________________________________________________________________________________________ Mizzou: New comer to the East but don't expect them to finish any higher that 4th while adjusting to SEC play. They do get top recruit, WR Dorial Green-Beckham, a target for James Franklin. Key Players: QB James Franklin, WR Dorial Green-Backham, LB Zavier Gooden, CB EJ Gaines __________________________________________________________________________________________ S.Carolina: Now have a stable QB in Shaw who is more than happy to use his legs instead of his arm. Although he doesn't have established targets to throw to, SCAR's defense is good enough to keep them in any game. Key Players: RB Marcus Lattimore, DE Devin Taylor, DE Jadaveon Clowney, S DJ Swearinger __________________________________________________________________________________________ Tennessee: With Justin Hunter back healthy, the Vols will have a scary offense. Derek Dooley will need to have a good season as his seat is getting warmer by the year. Key Players: QB Tyler Bray, WR Justin Hunter, WR Da'Rick Rogers (Dismissed 8/23), LB AJ Johnson __________________________________________________________________________________________ Vandy: HC James Franklin brought a great attitude to Vandy and their scrappy play was definitely a reflection of their coach. Key Players: QB Jordan Rodgers, RB Zac Stacy, WR Jordan Matthews, LB Archibald Barnes __________________________________________________________________________________________ SEC WEST Alabama: Returning National Champs but I expect them to take a step back this year with the losses of key players. Eddie Lacy has shown that he has the ability to take over as Bama's new go to back. Key Players: QB AJ McCarron, RB Eddie Lacy, OL DJ Fluker, LB Nico Johnson __________________________________________________________________________________________ Arkansas: Have to feel good that Nile Davis is returning and WIlson has more year under his belt. But I can't help but think the loss of Petrino will have some effect on the team. Key Players: QB Tyler Wilson, RB Nile Davis, RB Dennis Johnson, LB Alonzo Highsmith __________________________________________________________________________________________ Auburn: The Tigers did better than I expected them to do last year. It'll be interesting to see who wins out at the QB position with Frazier getting the slight edge. The loss of Malzahn and Dyer will be a blow. Key Players: RB Onterio McCalebb, WR Emory Blake, TE Philip Lutzenkirchen, DE Corey Lemonier __________________________________________________________________________________________ LSU: Should be favorites to win the West and there shouldn't be any controversy at the QB position this year as Mettenberger should be in control under center.

Looking for Louisa HAMPTON c.1830 of California
I don't have a lot of information so I'll give you the story as I know it......
It starts with Joseph GOODSELL, who was born around 1820-1830 in Lancashire, England.
He left England for America but I don't know when. I would be guessing, but the Californian gold rush of 1848-1855 may have been his reason.
Joseph met a woman, Louisa HAMPTON, and it is thought that she was born in California.
We don't know much about Louisa except what has been passed down in story. She was said to be half Native American and half African American.
Joseph and Louisa had a son Walter Thomas GOODSELL on January 15 1859, born in California. I don't know of any marriage or if there were any other children.
In 1869, Joseph and his 10 year old son Walter sailed to NSW Australia, where they settled in the Nowra/Shoalhaven area south of Sydney. I have not been able to find them on any shipping passenger list.
Louisa did not come with them to Australia. Had she already died? Not sure. When Walter got married in 1901, the records show his mother as deceased.
I realise it is a needle in a haystack, but if anyone can help me connect a few dots I would be most grateful.
Louisa HAMPTON has been an unanswered question for a long time.
Looking for Mary Ann MARZOL of Lismore NSW
I am looking for stories on the life and times of Mary Ann MARZOL.
Mary was born in Australia in 1872 to John MARZOL and Christina GRIESINGER in Rocky Mouth, Richmond River NSW....now known as Woodburn.
She was christened Christina after her mother, but was always called Mary.
Her first two children died young.
Her third child Alfred was given away.
She then married Walter GOODSELL in 1901 and they had 7 children.
Mary died in 1923.
Does anyone know my Mary?
[email protected]
Looking for MORTIMER of Buckinghamshire, England.
I am researching the ancestors of William Hamor MORTIMER, born in 1863 in Nether Winchendon, Buckinghamshire, England.
His parents were Robert and Elizabeth MORTIMER (nee HALL) from Twyford, Buckinghamshire, England
William married Fanny BACKSHALL in 1884 in Ardingley, Sussex.
William 22, Fanny 30 and Florence (under 12 months) arrived in Sydney Australia from Plymouth aboard the SS Chimborazo on the 5th July 1885.
They had market gardens at Botany, Sydney.
William and Fanny had 5 children - Florence, Alice, William, Edith and Mary.
After Fanny died in 1907, William married Jessica Agnes AUSTEN and made their home in Burrawang NSW.
William and Jessie had 5 children - Jean, Jim, Joseph, Elsie and Margaret.
He died in 1947.
Any information, whether ancestor or descendant, would be appreciated.

How To Clean Your Computer Screen Without Leaving Streaks
Staring at a dirty computer screen while you're trying to work can be very distracting. Maximize your work output by setting aside five minutes to clean your screen using two common household ingredients, and you'll be rewarded with a streak-free finish.
My husband inherited my laptop about two years ago and I hadn't really seen it until recently, when I asked him if I could clean the screen with my new "magical screen cleaning potion." Needless to say, I was disgusted and delighted at the condition in which it was handed over.
What You Need
- Distilled water
- White vinegar
- Microfiber cloth (or a cotton rag)
- Spray bottle
- Eyeglass cleaning cloth
1. In an empty spray bottle, mix a solution of equal parts distilled water and white vinegar. I used a half cup of each.
2. Spray the solution onto a microfiber cloth (or an old cotton t-shirt). Do not use any sort of paper towel, toilet paper, or tissue to clean your screen as these products can scratch your monitor.
3. Begin to wipe across the screen in small, circular motions until you've worked your way over the entire surface. Repeat this step with an eyeglass cloth.
4. Use the solution to clean any other smudges on the computer.
You're all set! No more smudgy, streaky distractions!

Stuttering expert: 'The King's Speech' gets it right
From The University of New Hampshire via Newswise
Decorated with numerous prestigious awards, including a Golden Globe and two Screen Actors Guild awards and 12 Oscar nominations, "The King's Speech" is based on the true story of Britain's King George IV, whose sudden ascent to the throne forced him to conquer his debilitating speech impediment with the help of an unorthodox speech therapist.
Sheryl Gottwald, clinical assistant professor and a board-recognized fluency specialist with three decades of clinical experience, lauds Colin Firth's portrayal of King George for his realistic portrayal of the complex nature of stuttering.
"The emotional turmoil that dealing with stuttering causes was represented just beautifully," she says, as was the support offered by the King's family and friends. "You can't overcome stuttering all by yourself."
She adds that the speech therapy provided by the eccentric Lionel Logue, played by Geoffrey Rush, is similar to modern treatment of stuttering. "Although this was many years ago, the basic principles of the treatment are the same we use today," she says. "Encouragement, building his sense of self and sense of self-esteem was such a big piece of King George's treatment, and it's still a big piece of what we do today."
According to Gottwald, stuttering affects people across cultures, languages and socioeconomic status. The prevalence of stuttering has not changed since the World War II era of the film: it affects less than one percent of the adult population and about three to five percent of preschool children. Gottwald and a colleague developed an intervention method for preschoolers who stutter and their families that currently is used throughout the world.
Gottwald notes that the popularity of the film is enlightening a wide audience to the realities of stuttering. "I hope people start to understand that stuttering doesn't have to interfere with communication; you can be successful and still stutter," she says. "This film, and the buzz it's getting, is showing people another side of what stuttering might be – that it's just a small piece of who you are."

DirectionsShow MapHide Map
International airport:
Once through customs, turn right. This will take you to the bus, shuttle and taxi rank areas outside the glass doors of the building. The Airbus is on the extreme right, past the taxi rank. An Airbus leaves every 20 min, 24 hours a day - this is the cheapest ride into Auckland. They will drop you at our door.
Driving to Base Auckland:
Head to Queen Street - this is the main street of Auckland and is marked on every map. Driving down Queen Street, turn left onto Darby Street. This is a smaller street between Victoria and Wellesley Street. You'll see our doorway five metres down Darby St and there's a car park 20 metres further down Darby Street.
Heading back to the airport:
When you want to return to the Airport, remember to get your Airbus ticket at reception and get our discounted rate! The Airbus pick-up is just across the street from Base Auckland and runs 24hrs a day. Shuttles can be booked for a specific pick-up time, 24hrs a day also. You can take a taxi to and from the airport, but as it's 22km from downtown to the airport the fare is much higher than a shuttle or Airbus. If you do take a taxi ask at the reception for a discounted flat rate from the city to the airport.
Remember - Customs and Immigration require you to check in two hours before your flight. It's wise to check in one hour prior to domestic flights, and don't forget to add travel time to this when you arrange your pickup.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb men's tennis team clinched a spot in the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament on Friday afternoon when they posted a 4-3 win over Florida Gulf Coast at the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center in Nashville.
"The guys came out slow in doubles and had a difficult time executing the game plan," head coach Andrew Harris said. "I was proud of them for responding in singles and showing heart today to make win four of the six singles matches. Stetson is going to be a great challenge tomorrow, but we need to come out relaxed and let the game come to us. If we can do that then we have a shot."
The Bisons suffered a 3-0 sweep in doubles play, giving FGCU a quick 1-0 lead.
Junior Oliver Strecker and sophomore Miguel Cortez fell to Matthew Rock and Lance Lvovsky 8-5 at No. 1, while junior Tanner Brown and freshman Stuart Tierney were defeated by Jackson Moore and Dean Tsamas 8-3 at No. 2.
At No. 3, junior Colby Shaw and sophomore David Salazar fell just short of a win, falling 9-7 to Tianyu Bao and Michael Beiler.
The Bisons battled back in singles play, however, to take the lead and eventually clinch the 4-3 win.
Lipscomb then evened it up quickly with a win at No. 2 singles, where freshman Daniel Hernandez defeated Moore 6-3, 6-3.
Strecker picked up another win for the Bisons at No. 1, defeating Bao 6-3, 6-4 and giving LU a 2-1 lead.
Shaw secured another point for the Bisons with his 6-1, 7-5 win at No. 4 over Rock, but Florida Gulf Coast fought back with a win at No. 3 singles, where Tsamas defeated Salazar 6-4, 6-1.
Lipscomb then clinched the match with Tierney's 6-1, 6-3 win at No. 6 over Beiler.
The Eagles took No. 5 singles as Lvovsky defeated Cortez 5-7, 6-4, 1-0 (13-11).
The win evens out the Bisons conference record to 4-4 as they head into their final regular season match on Saturday. Lipscomb hosts Stetson at 2 p.m. at the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center.

Having pets when you have kids can either be extremely stressful or totally magical complete with adorable photos of baby snuggling with your pup. And of course there is always that uncertain time if your fur baby came first and that fear in wondering if the two will get along. Hopefully they do and you get to take a zillion photos of the cutest little beings in your house. But what if you want to get a furry friend after having kids? How do you know what kind of pet to get?
I personally love a pound pup or rescue kitty. Oftentimes they are so happy to have a good home, they snuggle up and instantly become part of the family. But there are certain breeds that are known to be great with kids. HellaWella shared the details on the best kid-friendly dogs and cats.
The 5 Most Kid-Friendly Dogs
1. Bulldog
This little wrinkly cutie is friendly, loyal, and docile, so it's okay if baby pokes him a little -- he isn't likely to snap.
2. Vizsla
The beautiful pups are quiet and affectionate and they do lots of tricks. Plus they are very protective.
3. Golden Retriever
These sweetie pies are also really smart, but they need lots of exercise so they are great for the active family.
4. Bull Terrier
This is a great breed for rough and tumble kind of kids -- they are friendly and tend to be unfazed by a child tugging on their hair.
5. Newfoundland
They may be big, but the Newfoundland are very gentle, kind creatures who are very protective and easy to train.
The 5 Most Kid-Friendly Cats
1. Birman
These pretty kitties are social but love being lazy. Sounds like a perfect cat when you have a newborn.
2. Ragdoll
The name says it all -- a gentle, ragdoll type of cat who likes to chill out after playing some games.
3. Himalayan
The Himalayan is the perfect indoor cat who does an equal amount of keeping to himself and interacting with the family.
4. Maine Coon
This beautiful breed is also known for being really calm even in the midst of chaos, and also adapt to the ways of the family they live with.
5. Exotic Shorthair
This cat loves to be loved and will greet you at the door. They are very easy-going and quiet.
Are you thinking about adding a dog or cat to your family? What kind? Do you have a dog or cat on this list? Or another kid-friendly breed or mix?

1. Why Growl doesn't ship (and enable) by default support for Mail, Safari, iTunes? To me, as a new Growl user, this is something that I expect it would have been integrated automatically. It didn't make sense to hunt and enable them individually.
Chris Forsythe: There are a few reasons. Most of them are technically just because we haven't gotten to it yet. The major problem to address here is that some applications actually ship the entire Growl Preference Pane (the thing to configure and run Growl) with their applications, so we don't want to cause problems there.
Some of it is that we want users to understand how exactly Growl works, and separating things at the time seemed to make some sense.
Luckily your hunting shouldn't take long though. In the Disk Image that we ship Growl in, there are also 2 folders, Extras and Scripts. Both of these contain all sorts of things, such as the GrowlMail, GrowlSafari and GrowlTunes, but also a lot of other things. For instance, we have a add-on we ship in the Scripts directory for Salling Clicker, so that you can get Caller ID information for a BlueTooth cell phone to display in a Growl notification.
Overall, the real problem is just lack of resources, much like any other project (Open Source or not). We'll get around to addressing it, but for now it seems to work alright.
2. Are there plans to allow the customization of the position the Growl alerts are showing in the screen?
Chris Forsythe: Yes. We'll have this added in 1.1. The major hurdle here is that we wanted separate display types to be able to work together. For those who have not used Growl, or cannot because they are not lucky enough to have a Mac (that's a joke folks), your notifications/events can look different per application and per notification type in each application.
3. Are there plans for a small "Growl Server" for Windows or Linux that can display vital information about these systems on a normal Mac OS X Growl Client (maybe via Rendezvous)?
Chris Forsythe: I haven't heard of one, and there really isn't a huge need for it from what I can tell. We have a great bunch of users who have already made this a non-issue.
Rui Carmo has made 3 network notification sending "bindings", 2 in python and one in php. These should allow anyone who needs to to send a notification over the network. We've gotten permission from him to ship these with Growl, and we'll probably be shipping them with .7.5.
Bindings in general make Growl more useful to a lot of people. Not everyone likes Cocoa or Carbon, and no shoe fits every foot so to speak, so we've always accepted Bindings for any language so long as it works. For 1.1 it looks like we'll have Java, Applescript, Perl, PHP, Python, RealBasic, Ruby, Tcl, and the networking bindings mentioned earlier. All in all this should make it easy to talk to Growl via the network from other platforms, and other languages as well.
Neither of those platforms support Rendezvous/Bonjour, so if we ever did implement a Growl Server for those platforms (I really doubt windows support at the very least, Linux is more likely) then we'd have to take that into consideration.
We've also been promised support from Guifications at some point.
4. Some users online said that they would expect better defaults on Adium. The Adium preferences are so many that creates a bitter feeling to users who have to delve in to make it look better or to make it take less space. Any plans on this issue?
Chris Forsythe: With 1.0 we're starting to work on this somewhat. The major issue here is that one of the previous goals for Adium was "So many features you will crap your pants". Some folks took that literally. In any case, that's no longer a goal or even on our radar.
We now apply to a few things. One real goal we have is to no longer add a preference if at all possible. Another is to apply the "80/20" rule to things. For those who are not familiar with this, it's the process of deciding if 80% of your userbase would use something, or 20% of your userbase. If it's 20%, then it's not really something that should be considered.
We've removed a lot of functionality in 1.0. We're currently in the Beta process for Adium 1.0, and only one or two things that changed/ got removed have been brought up.
If anyone has problems finding an actual preference or feature they need, then by all means they can bring it up on our forums.
Then again, this is Open Source, and if someone works on Adium and wants something, it's well within their rights to add it. It may be removed later, but it will at least be considered for a while.

Long Island historic houses of the South Shore
"Long Island Historic houses of the South Shore," by Christopher Collora, features 115 mansions and historic homes on the South Shore.
Idlehour, the second try by William Kissam Vanderbilt to build in Oakdale (the first mansion burned down), was completed in 1901 and no expense was spared in the process. Marble was imported from Italy, 24-carat gold-leaf accented woodwork was imported for the salon, elaborately carved screens and panels stood in the lounges and drawing rooms, and ornate plaster work adorned ceilings and walls. The mansion had 110 rooms and a final cost exceeding $9.5 million dollars. The mansion is now part of Dowling College. (Undated)
The original structure of La Grange Inn in West Islip dates back to 1750, which was a hotel and tavern. Toward the end of the 20th century, it evolved into a catering hall. Today there is a proposal to relocate the Inn a few hundred feet to the back of the lot and build a CVS Pharmacy in its spot, but the plan is controversial because preservationists believe the structure would not survive the move. (Undated)
The Jones "Brick House" was the first brick home on the South Shore, built in 1696 by Major Thomas and Freelove Jones (namesakes of Jones Beach). After Thomas Jones' death in 1713, the house was thought to be haunted. In 1836 it was demolished and replaced with Massapequa Manor. The site is currently Saints Peter & Paul Church on Merrick Road and Biltmore Boulevard. (Undated)
Sagtikos Manor in Bay Shore is the oldest house in the town of Islip, with its first section built in 1697. On April 21, 1790, George Washington spent the night at the Manor while he was touring Long Island. The house was expanded into its present form in 1902. In 2002, Suffolk County purchased the property from the foundation to keep it from being sold to a developer. Today The Sagtikos Manor Historical Society gives tours of the house. (1902)
Christopher M. Collora, of West Islip, author of "Long Island Historic Houses of the South Shore," holds a page from his book showing a picture, on the upper right page, of East Islip's Brookwood Hall in its glory, while in the background is the mansion today. (April 17, 2013)
Christopher M. Collora, of West Islip, author of "Long Island Historic Houses of the South Shore," poses in front of the 41-room Georgian Revival-style mansion named Brookwood Hall that is now the home to the Islip Arts Council, the Islip Art Museum and the Town of Islip Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Departments in East Islip. (April 17, 2013)
The Frank Buck Jungle Camp was built in Massapequa in 1934 by Frank Buck, hunter, "collector of wild animals," movie actor, director, writer and producer. The only thing that still stands is the Lion House, which is now part of a shopping center on Montauk Highway next to John Burns Park. (1930s)
Pleasure Island, built on an island in Champlain Creek in East Islip, was the home of Schuyler Parsons, Jr., who could have been known as a real-life South Shore Gatsby because of the people he knew and the parties he held there between 1924 and 1928. Among those who visited were Charlie Chaplin, Rudolph Valentino, Cole Porter, Helen Hayes, Noel Coward, Douglas Fairbanks, George Gershwin and Charles Lindbergh. In the 1980s, the house was moved, and later demolished. The house in this photo was built afterwards and is owned by the Ruffino family. (Undated)
Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park in Oakdale is one of the last remaining estates on the South Shore of Long Island. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973. The house at the center of the property was built to look like an English country home, while the grounds were designed around an arboretum that was planted with the horticultural specimens of William Bayard Cutting and landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted in 1887. (Undated)
This French chateau-inspired mansion named Wereholme was built in 1917 in Islip by Harold Hathaway and Lousine Peters-Weekes. It was designed by architect Grosvenor Atterbury. In 1984, Adeline Hathaway Scully (who had inherited the house from her parents) willed the property to the National Audubon Society. In 2004, Suffolk County purchased the mansion and converted it into the Suffolk County Environmental Interpretive Center, otherwise known as the Scully Estate. (Undated)
Indian Neck Hall was a 1,000-acre estate in Oakdale designed by Ernest Flagg and built for Singer Manufacturing magnate Frederick Gilbert Bourne between 1897-1900. It was reputed to have been the largest estate on Long Island's South Shore at the time, housing an 80-foot long greenhouse, a bowling alley, a swimming tank and a Turkish bath. Frederick Law Olmsted landscaped the grounds. In 1926, the estate was sold and transformed into LaSalle Military Academy. In 2001, it was sold to St. John's University. (Undated)
Sewan was the home of George Stanton Floyd-Jones, who built it in the late 1800s. Eventually the property and mansion were left to the Catholic Church, which sold it to the Massapequa school district, which used the house and the carriage house as schools until 1952 -- when the school district tore it down to build Massapequa's first high school. (Undated)
This is one of ten "villas" completed in 1901 on 100 acres of land in Islip called Bayberry Point, by sugar industrialist Harry Havemeyer, who wanted to make the property into a modern Venice with relatively low-cost houses that fronted a canal opening into Great South Bay. (Undated)
This mansion was the West Islip summer home of Minor C. Keith, a railroad businessman. The little girl standing in front is Katie Whalen Hafele, whose father, Martin Whalen, was superintendent of the estate. She lived on the estate for several years and remembers, "It was a beautiful time to see all these mansions along Montauk Highway." The house was demolished around 1937. (Undated)
Namkee was built in 1891 for Captain Edward Gillette. In this photo, the family poses outside on the porch. (Undated)
This is the central part of the Plumb Estate that was moved from its original locale in East Islip to Bay Shore's Main Street. It is now on the Historic Register. (Undated)
This 400-acre estate, named Deer Range Farm in East Islip, became a story-book, castle-like structure in the hands of James Neale Plumb in the years between 1877 and1899. After his death, his family sold it. Parts of the estate were recycled and moved to neighboring towns such as a storefront in Bay Shore. But most of the mansion is no longer standing. In the 1920s, the land became Heckscher State Park. (c. 1884)
The Foster Estate was built in 1909 by J. Stanley Foster II, president of Bowery Bank. It was a 40-room Mediterranean-style villa that sat on 142 acres on the south side of Montauk Highway. The estate no longer stands. (Undated)
This mansion, called Acadia, was built in 1888 by Charles F. Stoppani, who was one of the partners of Consolidated Exchange at a time when Bayport was part of the "Hidden Gold Coast" on the South Shore of Long Island, extending from the border of Nassau County all the way to the Bayport. (Undated)
The Julian Davies estate in Great River was built in 1882 and set on 300 acres of land, but "it has changed so much that you'd never recognize it," says Christopher Collora, author of "Long Island Historic Houses of the South Shore." Today it serves as the clubhouse of the Timber Point Country Club and Golf Course, whose founders were Horace Havermeyer, Buell Hollister and W. Kingsland Macy. After Davies' death in 1920, the family put the house up for sale, advertising in the classifieds of Country Life. (September, 1920)
"The Oaks" was the summer residence of Louis Bossert, a Brooklyn lumber dealer and real estate developer. The estate covered 400 acres with 1 mile of private bayfront, held a working farm, had private railroad access, sat on a 64-foot wide canal off the bay and housed an elaborate carriage house, squash court and its own sewage and drainage plant. The main house could seat 100 guests for dinner and was originally designed by Calvert Vaux. What is left of the mansion today is the Southward Ho Country Clubhouse. (1908)
In 1942, Brookwood Hall turned into a home run by the Orphan Asyllum Society of Brooklyn, serving 500 children. But with the rise of the foster home system, the home closed in 1965. In this 1952 photo, boys study in one of the mansion's light-filled rooms. (April, 1952)
Brookwood Hall is a grand Georgian Revival house built in 1903 for Harry K. Knapp of Manhattan, one of the city's many millionaire businessmen who chose the South Shore of Islip as a summer retreat. The original site extended over 80 acres. The building is now home to Islip town offices, the Islip Art Museum and the Islip Arts Council. (Undated)

Below is the first page of what I've been working on lately. Is the narrative style too unconventional? Close friends have remarked that it is "refreshing"... but close friends are like that sometimes...
Down the steps, through the doorway, and into the basement bar. Walking quickly past the regulars seated at the corner hoping not to be noticed and greeted. The smoke hangs low in this rotten dive and Miller ducks to avoid it as he maneuvers his way to the far end against the wall of mirrors. Bar keep is dutifully trailing right behind, on his end of the bar, so that when Miller is seated he can promptly ask,
Whatll it be?
Yuengling, please.
He spins around on his nimble feet and places the pint glass below the draft. Grabbing a chilled glass to do so. Too tired to discipline him. The lager pushes the air out of the empty glass and triumphantly foams to the top. Another quick spin and the glass is in front of Miller.
Thank you.
No problem, Fritz.
A scan of the bar notices familiar faces. Nodding with kindness at Fritz, wondering how he made it to the other end of the bar without exchanging greetings. I sit here wondering how I am going to make it out without exchanging greetings. Beckon Brad over and request a shot of Wild Turkey. Need a bit of rocket fuel to thaw-out my frozen limbs. He places it down and retrieves the empty pint glass. Yes my day has been fine. Yours has too? Great. Just great. Oh sure, a little slow lately, but it should pick up again in another month or two. Ahh yes. Agree completely. Another pint. Another shot. How to get out undetected. Sorry, no conversation desired today. To the bathroom then slip out, hugging the back wall. Gallop quickly once past the pool table.
Skipping down the street merrily whistling to self. A group of older women on the corner and Fritz gives a quick bow. Across the street, train tracks, and down a sidewalk. Through the door of OConnells and onto a barstool.

As the violent Serbian backlash to Kosovo's declaration of independence is expected to continue this week, the unruly protests are causing concern for the Balkan territory and spurring leading analysts to look to East Timor and Montenegro as examples of how the declared state might fare.
NATO peacekeepers closed off roads between Serbia and Northern Kosovo Wednesday, with United Nations police guarding border checkpoints, anticipating more protests. Since Kosovo declared independence from Serbia Sunday, ethnic Serbian groups have been protesting. They have destroyed UN and NATO property, set fires, and staged rallies, the Associated Press reports.
Border crossings at two places in Kosovo remained sealed Wednesday after at least 1,000 Serbs from Kosovo and Serbia ransacked and torched both sites Tuesday. Ethnic Serbians torched and ransacked NATO-patrolled border crossings as international tensions rose over Kosovo's declaration of independence, reports Agence France-Presse.
The United States, the European Union, and several European powers are supporting independence in Kosovo. Meanwhile, Russia, China, and Spain have warned that recognition of Kosovo could embolden separatists worldwide and threaten international norms.
President Bush said Tuesday that independence for Kosovo was a "correct move" that could bring peace to the long-troubled region. Russian President Vladimir Putin, however, charged that Western support was "immoral and illegal," and likely to provoke a storm of separatism which could unsettle the international order, reports The Christian Science Monitor.
Russian academics and observers claim the West has refused to listen to Moscow's concerns and Russia could face a whirlwind of secessionist movements throughout the former Soviet Union.
In Kosovo, lawmakers asserted their new claimed powers, passing their first legislation since declaring the new state, creating citizenship, passports, and a foreign ministry.
The Washington Post reports violent Serb demonstrations were symbolic of the minority group's determination to resist the idea that a new international border had been created. Serbs make up just over 5 percent of the population; 90 percent of the territory is ethnically Albanian. A map of the country's ethnic makeup can be found on the BBC's website.
"This is Serbia," said Dragan Mitrovic, a 48-year-old resident of Mitrovica, which is about 18 miles south of the border posts. "The Serbian army and Serbian police should be here."
Such sentiments, international officials worry, could inflame tensions and destabilize the new state. The Washington Post reports that international officials were concerned Serbian radicals were being bused into northern Kosovo, close to the border, and could try to provoke a violent response from the former Serbian province into crisis. Neighboring Serbia strongly opposes independence in Kosovo, which it considers to be part of its own territory.
A EU mission plans to supervise Kosovo's independence, but will not deploy for 120 days, allowing some time for anger to dispel within Belgrade, Serbia's capital.
The commander of the NATO-led peacekeeping force in Kosovo Wednesday blamed minority Serb leaders for the attacks on two border posts, Agence France-Presse reports.
"Some local leaders took a huge responsibility yesterday," the French general told reporters in Pristina, adding: "The leaders should think deeply of their responsibility when they trigger this type of demonstration."
Germany joined the growing rank of nations in recognizing Kosovo, the third major EU power to do so. The 27-member EU remains sharply divided over the issue.
Eighteen EU member states overall have backed Kosovo's independence, either formally recognizing it, or declaring their intention to do so. Three others – Cyprus, Romania, and Spain – have explicitly refused recognition.
Serbia's parliament declared the split illegal and recalled its ambassadors from nations that recognized Kosovo's independence. Russia's foreign ministry has sent angry letters of protest to their capitals.
Russia, Serbia's strongest international ally, said the deployment of an EU police and judicial mission to Kosovo had no legal basis. The Russian Itar-Tass news agency reported that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had told US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that Russia had confirmed its position on "non-acceptance of Pristina's unilateral actions on declaration of the region's independence."
The minister said the step could destroy established international conventions of order and stability.
Within Russia, The Moscow Times reports, even Mr. Lavrov's statement was not enough for some legislators. Kostantin Kosachyov, chairman of the Russian parliament's international affairs committee warned that Kosovo's recognition would encourage separatists in former parts of the Soviet Union.
"There are a lot of countries that have their own Abkhazias and South Ossetias, and half of them are on former Soviet territory ... and they will take serious offense," Kosachyov told Russian News Service radio. He added that already troubled relations with Georgia and the West would also suffer.
In contrast, Kosovo's Albanian population appeared jubilant Sunday, pouring onto streets to celebrate independence, reports the Bulgarian Sofia News Agency.
The Associated Press reports that the experience of other new states could offer clues as to the future of Kosovo. It has joined the ranks of Montenegro and East Timor as three states formed in the 21st century. Some analysts have warned that Kosovo will face major challenges in reaching the economic success of Montenegro avoiding the path of impoverished East Timor.
Montenegro has prospered since breaking with Serbia nearly two years ago with a peaceful referendum. Montenegro's economy today is booming with annual economic growth at 7 percent and foreign direct investment of $950 million, the highest per capita in Europe.
East Timor, by contrast, has been wracked by political instability and violence, including the attempted assassination of its prime minister and president on Feb. 11. It has struggled to provide jobs for its 1 million people. Unfulfilled expectations for improved living standards led to riots and protests that culminated in a military mutiny that triggered the government's collapse and an Australian-led military intervention.
Some analysts warn that Kosovo faces similar challenges to East Timor. Despite the influx of billions of dollars since Kosovo came under NATO protection and UN administration following the 1999 war that forced a withdrawal of Serb forces, Kosovo is one of Europe's poorest countries. Communist-era infrastructure is collapsing with current unemployment at over 50 percent. But Kosovo also has significant natural resources, including some of the largest lignite coal deposits in Europe.
One analyst expects the nation to develop quickly, reports the Associated Press:
"In a generation, Kosovo could become a major electricity exporting country, in a power-hungry region," said James Pettifer, a British academic and Balkan specialist.
"But the investments needed are long-termed and even under the most benign conditions would take time to come to fruition."
EU official Pieter Feith began his mandate as EU special representative to Kosovo, reports Agence France-Presse. Mr. Feith is to head the international civilian mission that will oversee Kosovo's independence. Dubbed EULUX, he said the EU misison would be present in minority Serb districts that oppose independence.

I was born and raised in Oconomowoc, WI on a small hobby farm. My love of the outdoors had inspired me to start photographing my surroundings at a very young age. I started photographing with a little 110 mm point and shoot camera (remember those?!) and showing my work at fairs. I started earning awards such as the Eastman Kodak Award. By high school I had bought my own SLR Olympus camera and started taking darkroom and black & white photography classes. I attended the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse focusing on Mass Communications with an emphasis in Photography. After graduation I photographed school portraits for Lifetouch National School Studios where I received the Regional Champion Award and 2nd Runner-up in the National...

Speculative Thoughts:
This might be just a red herring, but Awai mentions that her "abilities" means she's year 100. "Abilities", huh?
But we've seen what happened with people with multiple abilities. Jindai wasn't able to pull out more than one ability, while Toyone only showed three of her seven abilities.
So what makes so Awai so sure that she could have "abilities"? Maybe I'm just looking at this wrong, but I feel so certain she's going to steal the Counted Yakuman key and use it herself. As in, she can steal other people's abilities, like some sort of Black Hole? Fits the galaxy theme.

I doubt Awai has the ability to negate others, as that is almost exclusive to Saki (she overrides Nanpo's "southern round domination", Toyone's "pursue Richi" and Koromo's "prevention of Tenpai".
My speculation is that Shindouji and Shiratodai will advance. In the vice captain match of the final, Mairu reserve a Yakumen in the last match. Awai tries to gain as many points as she could to brace the impact for the Yakumen in the all last, but Saki go "tanoshii" and override Himeko and win the match for Kiyosumi

Its kinda funny when I read chapter 106. From the view on the television. The commentators and the news team are featuring most of Nodoka and even Touka said it and on another panel from the tv screen view. Saki isn't even shown. Nodoka is being like a sun that eclipse or hides Saki which is good in a way because they aren't seeing the real terror from a miyanaga but kinda also ironic and funny

They'll avoid saying it one way or another until Achiga's semi's have resolved. Can't be ruining the "surprise" after all.
Yeah, it's pretty clear Shizu will do her last minute monkey magic again. Though Saki also seems to do the last minute comebacks as well. Makes you wonder how that will go down when they meet in the finals.

Nodoka seems to have a knack for drawing media attention to her boobs - kinda opposite to Momo's stealth ability which draws people attention away from her. At least, the opposing teams and the pros at this point began to acknowledge Saki as the actual monster of Kiyosumi. I believe we were introduced to such term when the reporter (sorry I forget her name) interviewed Fujita-pro. When reporter asked her opinion of notable player this year. She mentioned Teru, Jindai, and most recently Koromo are blessed by the tiles. The reporter then responded with something like it was just a rumor and Koromo's still an amateur that got lucky. It would seem that the media aren't very keen when it comes to identifying which players are "unnaturally gifted" to say the least.
In Sakiverse, the term "monster" seems to only apply within circle of hardcore mahjong players and those aiming to become pros. To become a mahjong pro, you have to acknowledge that monster does exist, something which Nodoka still lacking. I think players' reputation as monsters aren't widely recognized among casual fans and media in general. This is why they don't put two pros to comment on the same match, since causal audience will not be able to fully pick up everything the pro said.

You know things have gone out of hand when even Touka wonders why is there so much Nadokadoration. Seriously, Ritz, stop it. Or perhaps... this is self-awareness from her side?
On a better note, the new commentator is adorable, though she looks more shy than tsundere, but that's fine too, and I love how Mihirogi and her ... partner are pretty much commentating on the comentators.

Its pretty darn obvious the press is really only interested in Nodoka, despite it being pretty darn clear that Kiyosumi kept the lead for most of quarter finals, and they only lost it because of Hisa having an accidental break down.
On another note I find it really heartwarming that Touka is annoyed about the press only focusing on Nodoka, really helps show that she cares about all of Kiyosumi, not just her physical crush on Nodoka.
Seems Uta can spot relationships a mile away just how she can spot how people play in Mahjong, or not. This is also really making thing that pros and commentators live with each other or going out.
And Noyori apparently has a schoolgirl fetish, and seems that she really does tsundere tendencies.

So Saki 106 will be the last chapter this year... the next one will be on January 4th then... but why Ritz~sensei? why not have another chapter in-between Christmas and New Year as a gift for all those Saki followers out there? Do-do-don't misunderstand me here... it's not like I check every now and then to see if there's a new chapter of Saki... it's nothing like that, okay?
I've been wondering... why does Saki still wearing Mako's skirt? what happened to hers again? I can't seem to remember... was it she accidentally wore it when she woke up late for the drawing of lots in the inter-high... hey guys, don't get wrong... it's not like I like girls in short skirts or anything... it's definitely nothing of the sort... I'm just curious... right, just curiosity...
Now we've seen a glimpse of Usuzan, they seem no be not housing the blondie girl in Saki's past... so they don't have the firepower of a Miyanaga then... it would be interesting to see why the pro (forgot the name of big boobed pro) see them as a team to reckon with... will we be seeing out-of-this-world abilities or as a theme for a christian school, if they are one, miracle-making abilities?
And now for Ritz~sensei's farewell gift for us for this year in Saki...... Yuuki's behind...

Actually tarajis, if you're ignoring the significance of possibility of Usuzan being an all-girls Catholic school, then you haven't watched enough Maria-sama ga Miteru. Which is to say that their lesbian levels should be off the charts.

Also, tarajis, don't look down on Yuuki's rear, it's a damn good present.
Now I'm also intrigued about Usuzan's abilities, it would be awesome if they actually were based around something like that, though I can't think of any specific ideas for their abilities at the moment.

Is the ability's detail is true, that sound like an ability that Shizuno can easily overcome with her massive luck. Saki will even has easier time with it.
