Bugs Bunny and Cool Cat: Together At Last!
It's the team-up we've all dreamed about (or have had nightmares about): Bugs Bunny and Cool Cat. J.E. Daniels has posted a comic story to his blog that pairs the wabbit with the tiger from a 1970 issue of Gold Key Comic Digest: Click here to check it out.

That was really really weird! Extremely weird. That had to be the weirdest cartoon pairing I've ever seen.

Hey, when they work in pair, Bugs and Cool Cat are really strong XD!

Bizzar-o! I love the retro 40s design on Bugs clashing with the Jay Ward/Total TV design of Cool Cat clashing together. Heck, Cool Cat was the one that livened up the late 1960s run of Looney Tunes, just as Daffy and Speedy were about to transform the franchise into a one-way downhill roller-coaster ride with unfinished track. But I always wondered how Bugs Bunny and Cool Cat would act together. In one of my fanfics, "Hard Times for Daffy II," I feature almost every Looney Tunes character ever made, and I gave Cool Cat a few cameo spots in it (just to amuse the hard-core LT fans) :P

NEW YORK (AP) — It's not coincidental that the stars of "Scandal" live tweet during episodes. They're encouraged to do so.
When several of the show's actors recently visited New York to promote the premiere of season three, ABC made sure to book Kerry Washington on a return flight to Los Angeles that offered Wi-Fi. Other cast members had their trips extended so they could be available on the social networking site.
Joshua Malina, who plays U.S. attorney David Rosen, relishes having a presence on Twitter. He describes his tweets as "self-promotion and dumb jokes."
A few examples:
—"Okay, how do we make the old chargers obsolete?" — first thing spoken at every Apple meeting about a new product."
—"Please watch Kerry Washington tonight on Kimmel as she continues her courageous battle against underexposure!"
—"If Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian can't make it, then ... nothing I can think of."
Malina may love Twitter but he wasn't an early fan.
"My sister was an early adopter. She lives in a remote area and what I could tell used Twitter to let my parents know that she was still alive. ... I thought, 'This thing is not gonna catch on.'"
Now he admits to sometimes crafting tweets and saving them for later.
"Occasionally I'll be driving around trying to formulate," he said. "The beauty of it is the enforced brevity forces you to craft your tweets, if you're attempting to be funny to really sort of pare it down so it's just right. I will work something over and over. Other times I'll read what's going on and instantly react."
Malina has no problem sparring with people who tweet him.
"Certainly these strangers who interact with me aren't holding back. People will tweet, 'You're ugly,'" he laughed. "I also have very, very thick skin ... so I don't mind reading the bad stuff."
He even prefers the negative over the positive.
"The good stuff is in a way less entertaining to read. I mean it's nice but you know ... people who want to really go after you I enjoy interacting with. I don't think I've ever actually been offended by anything anyone has written and I sort of hope people take it in the same spirit."
Malina doesn't hold back with celebs.
"Any celebrity that goes on Twitter and spouts off as if we should care what they say is opening himself or herself up to ridicule by anyone else."
"Scandal" airs Thursdays on ABC at 10 p.m. Eastern.

Listen: Signed and Sealed in Blood
Dropkick Murphys (Born and Bred, 2013)
Notre Dame didn't quite win the college football championship in January, but this new album from the Dropkick Murphys can console the Irish-American Catholic heart. The Murphys, who started in the 1990s as a punk band, regularly blend Irish pipe, accordion, mandolin, and banjo with the roar of high-volume and high-velocity electric guitar and drums.
The Dropkicks take their name from an old-time Boston fight trainer who ran a rehab farm for drunken boxers, and their last two albums have featured tributes to the Boston Red Sox (check "Jimmy Collins' Wake" on Signed and Sealed in Blood). Their big breakthrough to the mainstream came when Martin Scorsese used their song "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" in his Irish-American gangster epic, The Departed.
This new album marks no great stylistic shift, and with these guys, that's good news. There are heart-thumping, fist-pumping statements of optimism in the face of oppression and woe—"Prisoner's Song" and "The Battle Rages On," for starters. There are heart-tugging statements of loyalty—to friends ("The Boys Are Back"), to a woman ("Rose Tattoo"), and to a father ("My Hero").
Underlying the whole Dropkick vision is an even deeper set of loyalties: to family, to place, and to the blue-collar working class. For instance, in 2010 the band distributed on the streets of Boston 10,000 free DVDs of their song "Tomorrow's Industry" to support local hospital workers' struggle to unionize.
Under those commitments lies the inherited foundation of Catholicism. When asked about that by an interviewer, drummer Matt Kelly said simply, "We try to be upstanding people and not be your typical 'rock' jerks [living] up to some image of coke, strippers, and infidelity. We're family guys and that's the No. 1 thing for us." All told, the Dropkick Murphys qualify as a thoroughly guilt-free pleasure.
This article appeared in the March 2013 issue of U.S. Catholic (Vol. 78, No. 3, page 42).

Stents and surgery both safe for prevention of stroke, study says
The CREST Trial found that two medical procedures designed to prevent future strokes are both equally safe and effective.
A new study of people at risk for stroke due to blockage of the carotid arteries showed that two medical procedures designed to prevent future strokes are both equally safe and effective. These findings give physicians more options in tailoring treatments for their patients at risk for stroke.
In the trial of 2,502 participants, carotid endarterectomy (CEA), a surgical procedure to clear blocked blood flow in the carotid artery of the neck - and the current standard treatment - was compared to carotid artery stenting (CAS), a newer and less invasive procedure that involves using a stent to widen the artery and a device to prevent dislodged plaques from traveling to the brain during the procedure.
The study's results, presented Friday, February 26, 2010, at the International Stroke Conference, found that both stenting and surgical endarterectomy are safe and useful tools in the right setting for stroke prevention.Read about the study in the Boston Globe
"We have been waiting for the results of this trial for many years," says Michael R. Jaff, DO, medical director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Vascular Center. "This rigorous, scientifically sound study has shown that in patients who are not at particularly high risk for complications from surgery, stent placement was just as good as surgery. This allows for physicians to personalize treatment for the individual patient, offering the treatment that is best for them."
One of the largest randomized stroke prevention trials ever, the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy vs. Stenting Trial (CREST) took place at 117 centers in the United States and Canada over a nine-year period. The Massachusetts General Hospital Vascular Center was one of these trial sites, led by Kenneth Rosenfield, MD, director of cardiac and vascular invasive services, and Richard Cambria, MD, chief of the division of vascular surgery.
Investigators found patient outcomes from the two procedures are largely the same for both men and women, and for patients who had previously had a stroke compared to those who had not. However, differences between surgery and stenting were discovered when investigators looked at the number of heart attacks and strokes suffered by patients in the weeks following the procedure. More people in the surgical group suffered heart attacks, 2.3 percent compared to 1.1 percent in the stenting group. Conversely, there were more minor strokes in the stenting group, 4.1 percent versus 2.3 percent for the surgical group
The study was designed to determine if the rate of heart attack, stroke, and death combined was higher with surgery or stent," said Jaff. "CREST has demonstrated that the two procedures are equally safe and effective in preventing stroke. Until the entire dataset has been published, it is not appropriate to speculate about subsets of patients who will benefit from one versus the other procedure. However, patients and their physicians now can discuss the individual options and make the best decisions for them."
The study also found that the age of the patient made a difference. Stenting results were slightly superior in patients age 69 and younger, and surgical results were better than stenting in patients older than 70.
The Mass General Vascular Center offers both treatment options through the Stroke and Carotid Artery Disease Program.
"Given the results of CREST, finding a program where all specialists collaborate to provide the best treatment for individual patients is critical. The MGH Vascular Center is the only program to offer collaboration among all seven specialties providing expert care in vascular disease," said Jaff.
Stroke, the third leading cause of death in the United States, is caused by an interruption in blood flow to the brain by a clot or bleeding. The carotid arteries on each side of the neck are the major source of blood flow to the brain, and buildup of cholesterol in the walls of this artery is one cause of stroke.
The CREST trial was funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health, and led by investigators at Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Fla., and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Newark.

Blizzard has revealed its "something new" at PAX East 2013: Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft - a "charming collectible strategy game set in the Warcraft universe."
I was real excited until the actual announcement
Blizzard are rapidly moving from a 'Day 1 purchase, no questions asked' developer, to a 'Wait and see if it's any good and probably not bother' developer.
WoW... Got boring years ago
Starcraft 2 - Pre-ordered... Ok, but ultimately disappointing
Diablo 3 - Pre-ordered... Mediocre and frustrating game
Starcraft 2 expansion... Pass
Hearthstone... Pass
Titan... Expectations reduced massively
Called it. Seriously, I said it would be a mobile game when they teased it like a week ago. Anything for a taste of that iTunes money, I suppose.
I was excited to attend this but after being turned away for the theater being full im glad knowing what the game is

Read more … COMPOSITE conference "Good Leaderships in Times of Change – Empirical Findings and Suggestions for Police Leaders" by Kate Horton
COMPOSITE – short for "Comparative Police Studies in the EU" – is a research project that looks into large scale change processes in police forces all over Europe. New types of crime, open borders, new technologies, changing public expectations and tighter financial resources are directly or indirectly affecting police forces in most European countries. These new demands require modern police forces that are managed efficiently, are capable of acting flexibly and have the means to cooperate with forces in other countries. Many police forces respond by introducing ambitious change programmes, aiming at modernising and rationalising the way policing is conducted. As such the face of European policing is slowly changing.
Some of these change projects reach their goals, but some fail or face serious problems along the way. The required amounts of time and resources often turn out to be heavily underestimated causing many projects to be deemed failures, not only by police forces, but also by politicians, the media or the general public. In addition, large scale change processes may be perceived as threatening to the police's organisational identity resulting in resistance by police officers and the public alike. This can lead to a critical decrease in commitment, loyalty, and effectiveness and consequently a decline in the public's perception of legitimacy.
Based around 11 interconnecting work-packages, COMPOSITE attempts to find out what factors contribute to success or failure of these change processes. Our researchers are having a close look at organisational structures, organisational identities and cultures, leadership styles, and processes in the police across ten European countries. During the initial phase, work-packages aimed at investigating the content of current change programmes in European policing by analysing the police's external challenges and identifying the internal resources and capabilities that serve to counter such threats. Other work-packages research knowledge sharing and technology trends, providing insights into the organisational structures that promote change initiatives. The second phase of the research project will mainly focus on change processes and on understanding the role of specific organisational features, national and organisational culture, identity, and leadership in the management of change.
COMPOSITE is funded over a period of four years out of the FP 7 framework programme of the European Union. Its consortium consists of 15 partners from ten European countries. It cooperates with police forces in Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Republic of Macedonia, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Official project start was August 1, 2010. The project coordinator is Dr. Gabriele Jacobs of Erasmus University Rotterdam. The dissemination coordinator is Dr. Jochen Christe-Zeyse of Universityof Applied Sciences of the State Police of Brandenburg.

|Raiders | Cable could soon be arrested
Mon, 05 Oct 2009 08:14:22 -0700
Updating a previous item, Jason Cole, of Yahoo! Sports, reports the Oakland Raiders are bracing for the possibility that head coach Tom Cable could soon be arrested in relation to an alleged assault on assistant coach Randy Hanson. Criminal charges against Cable could lead to a suspension by the NFL. "Everybody is trying to figure out who's going to take over if Tom isn't here," said an assistant coach, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "John Marshall has a lot of experience, he's probably the guy. But it's nuts. It's crazy when you start to really think about it."

ESPN.com reports Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable denied reports Monday, Aug. 17, that he punched defensive assistant Randy Hanson in the jaw and caused injuries that required treatment at a hospital earlier this month. Cable's claims are backed by former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah, who told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that Hanson broke a facial bone when his cheek hit a cabinet in a team meeting room when Cable flipped him out of his chair, according to a source. Jeremiah also wrote on his Twitter page that Cable reacted when Hanson spoke profanely to defensive coordinator John Marshall. He rebuked Hanson, then pushed his chair, which caused the injury.

Opec to earn $1.25 trillion from oil
Washington, July 9, 2008
Opec's earnings from oil exports are expected to reach a record $1.251 trillion this year, about $73 billion more than previously estimated, the US government's top energy forecasting agency said.
Net oil export earnings from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries are projected to jump 86 per cent this year from $671 billion in 2007 and then rise 6 per cent to $1.322 trillion in 2009, the Energy Information Administration said in its new monthly forecast.
Opec members have been raking in the cash from soaring crude prices, which hit a record $145 a barrel last week.
During the first half of 2008, Opec members raised $645 billion from oil exports.
Saudi Arabia accounted for almost one-third of that total, bringing in $192 billion, just $2 billion less than the kingdom's total oil export revenues in 2007, according to the EIA.
Iraq's oil earnings reached $39 billion through June of this year, already $1 billion more than the country's total oil earnings last year. - Reuters

Arlen Specter punctuated his decision to leave the Republican party with a rant about how the party's "right wing" is causing moderate Republicans to lose elections. Specter cited several defeated Republican House members but was most annoyed by the demise of former Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chafee. That result, Specter complained, cost him his chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee. That, in turn, prevented the confirmation of more than a dozen Bush court of appeals nominees, according to Specter.
Specter offered no evidence that Republican right-wingers did Chafee in. The Rhode Island RINO won his primary, but Specter claimed that the challenge he faced from a more conservative Republican forced Chafee to spend too much of his money. However, 2006 was a banner year for the Democrats, and Rhode Island is an extremely liberal state. One should not assume that Chafee's primary fight cost him his seat.
Nor should one assume that, in a 50-50 Senate (even with Dick Cheney as the tie-breaker), Republican court of appeals nominees would have been confirmed in large numbers. First, it's doubtful that the Republicans would have been 100 percent behind many of these nominees, particularly with Chafee in their ranks. Second, it takes 60 votes, not 50, ultimately to confirm a judge. When the Republicans held 55 seats they could plausibly threaten the "nuclear option" (which I don't think Specter ever supported) and strike a deal. With 50 members (including Specter and Chafee), I doubt they could have replicated that feat.
Moreover, it requires something of a leap of faith to believe that Chafee would have remained a Republican had he been re-elected. It seems about equally likely that he would have pulled a "Jim Jeffords" and switched sides. With control of the Senate at stake, the Dems would have offered Chafee plenty.
Finally, Specter forgets that the Republican establishment has bent over backward to accommodate his own centrism. President Bush and conservative party establishment supported Specter in his 2004 fight with a genuine conservative (Pat Toomey, the same one running this time) and, after his re-election, he was allowed to chair the Senate Judiciary Committee notwithstanding his sometimes spotty record on Republican nominees.
If Specter wants to abandon the Republican so he can serve another term, so be it. But he should spare us the lecture.
UPDATE: Note too that Specter himself said it was his vote against the stimulus package that sealed his doom as a Republican office seeker. But no Republican party — not the one Specter joined in 1965 and not any since — would have swallowed that vote.
So Specter's problem isn't so much that the Republican party has turned hard right; it's more that the Democratic party is hard left and Specter doesn't find this problematic.

Baseball-loving mom remembered with a charity softball tournament
In the Capek family, everyone played baseball and softball.
The family of seven even formed a team one year: mom Gloria was the catcher, dad Jim pitched, and the five adult kids and grandkids covered the other positions.
They named their team "Bohemian Rhapsody," after their father's Bohemian heritage and the popular Queen song they blared from a boom box before each game.
The Capeks were jokesters on the field, but also competitors. Bohemian Rhapsody won its division in the Glenview Park District's 14-inch mushball co-rec league in 1985.
Decades later, the close-knit family still plays ball, but now they play to honor their mother's memory and raise money to fight breast cancer, the disease that prematurely ended Gloria Capek's life at age 64.
"She would have just absolutely loved this," said her daughter, Deb Boylan, 54, of Vernon Hills. "This is one of the best tributes you can imagine. She loved baseball so much. We all grew up playing baseball or softball ... This is a way to keep her alive with us, and keep her spirit going."
Gloria Capek died just before Mother's Day 1999, after a feisty battle with breast cancer that included many grueling surgeries and treatments.
While mourning her death, her youngest son, Glen, came up with the idea for a charity softball tournament in her memory. The rest of the family was immediately on board, and in 2001, the first Gloria Capek Foundation Annual Softball Tournament was held. It was an instant success. Each year, an army of friends and extended family members volunteers to keep the momentum going.
"Baseball wasn't just a father-son thing. It was my mom, too," said Glen Capek, 44, an alumnus of Maine East High School in Park Ridge who now lives in Berwyn. "The first time I saw (my mom) throw a ball, I was amazed. It wasn't something I knew any other mom could do."
Adds son Jim Capek III, 50, of Genoa: "In our family, to say 'You throw like a girl' was a compliment."
The tournament is 14-inch mushball -- like the Capeks used to play as a family.
Now in its 11th year, the Gloria Capek Foundation Annual Softball Tournament, will be held June 16 at Harrer Park in Morton Grove.
To date, the tournament has raised roughly $60,000 to help Chicago-area breast cancer patients. Space is still open for teams to register. New this year, the winning team will get free registration to the Amateur Softball Association of America's Fall National Co-Rec Tournament in Forest Park.
"When (my mom) was sick, there was nothing I could do to help her," Glen Capek said. "So for me, this tournament is a lot of things. It's a way to honor her memory and to do something good, which is what she'd always want. And it'll help people to not have to go through what she did."
Food is also a big part of the tournament, as Gloria was obsessed with making sure everyone had enough to eat.
Her son Jim recalls a time she came out of a serious surgery, and the first thing she said when she regained consciousness was, "Did the anesthesiologist have a chance to eat?" Such a question was typical, he said.
Jim's employer, the Elgin Country Club, donates food for the tournament, which is supplemented by other donations. That means the players get more than just your standard hot dogs; it's an impressive spread of food including homemade salsa, fruit and a variety of barbecued meats.
"I tell people, 'Eat. That's the way she would have wanted it,'" Glen Capek said. "You shouldn't leave her house, or tournament, hungry."
Over the years, proceeds from the tournament have been donated to various breast cancer charities, including Gilda's Club Chicago and Loyola Medicine's Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center, which is this year's beneficiary. One year, the foundation used the money raised from the tournament to pay the chemotherapy bills of an uninsured suburban woman with breast cancer.
"It's not about the money," Glen says, "it's about doing something good."
At the tournament's lunch break, Gloria's children say a few words about her, and her grandchildren sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." The song became a tradition after Glen's children -- the only grandchildren in the family who never met Gloria -- sang it at the first tournament when they were toddlers.
"The place was in tears," Glen recalled. "We were all laughing and crying at the same time."
Fond memories
Baseball was always a huge part of Gloria Capek's life. Not only were her children on teams, she and her husband coached a team of blind softball players.
A die-hard Chicago Cubs fan, Gloria frequently took her children and grandchildren to games and listened to her favorite announcer and former player, the late Ron Santo. Former Cubs broadcaster Andy Masur, Glen's classmate at Maine East, got Santo to autograph jerseys and hats which they auctioned off at the softball tournaments.
Though she's been gone for 13 years, Gloria Capek's children -- Deb, Linda Lammersfeld, 52, of Capron, Jim, Karen Capek, 49, of Mount Prospect, and Glen -- still laugh, smile and beam with pride when they talk about their mom. They marvel at how she started a career after raising five children -- working her way up from a receptionist to a licensed private detective at Glenbrook Security Services in Wheeling. And they remember that after she got sick, she never complained or asked "Why me?" Instead, she worried about how everyone else was holding up.
Most of all, she was just an incredible mom.
"She made every one of us kids feel like we were the one she loved best," said daughter, Deb. "She would bend over backward to help people. She was an extremely gentle woman ... as I got older, I appreciated what she was able to do and how self-sacrificing she was."

We were able to instantly see that the people in the Drexel Code software videos are not actors; they are real people like you who have a story, and express it through the video. They are not in a set with lights. They are actually recording themselves from their spaces.

The environmental and health communities are no strangers to suing for social change. Look at Earthjustice, whose tag line is "Because the Earth needs a good lawyer," or the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which regularly sues food companies to improve the nutritional quality of their products and to minimize confusing labeling.
But more powerful than these efforts are ones coming from progressive companies like Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps. Unlike many nonprofits, companies generally have regular sources of revenue and can finance litigation more easily (and more naturally) as part of an effort to sustain their competitive niche.
I write more about this in The Guardian's Sustainable Business blog, so read there about how Dr. Bronner's used litigation not only to strengthen its niche as a leading seller of organic soaps, but also to clean up the cosmetics industry, forcing many competitors to either actually use organic ingredients in their "organic" products, or to remove inaccurate claims on their packaging. As company president David Bronner notes, "About 80% of these companies simply dropped their claims; the others reformulated."
It's not surprising that this innovative strategy comes from Dr. Bronner's, a company that: already includes organic and fair-trade ingredients in most of its products; caps the earnings of managers at just five times what the lowest-paid employee earns (compared to an average of 204 times for CEOs of S&P 500 companies); has directed an average of 54 percent of its annual profits to charity or advocacy campaigns over the past decade; is actively engaged in social campaigns, including pushing for the labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Washington state; and continues to promote on its product labels the founder's passionate calls for an all-inclusive religion that could bind humanity together rather than drive it apart.
But it is surprising that more green companies aren't using a relatively small amount of resources necessary to sue their competitors and fuel a "race to the top." Maybe they just needed a good model to follow? Perhaps Dr. Bronner's is it. For about $1.5 million, spent over 5 years, the company drove a lot of its competitors out of its niche (at least partially) and made others start paying more for organic ingredients, not to mention increasing its own marketing power while embarassing its competitors. Overall, it's a pretty smart strategy that I look forward to seeing more of in years to come!

Mens Wedding Tungsten Rings, Bands & Earrings With Black Diamonds
Tungsten Wedding Bands, Wedding Rings and Diamond Rings
Ornately designed and crafted Titanium and Tungsten jewelry beckons one and all
Breaking the conventions and exploring or charting into new territories has always been a mantra which has kept the human race going. Then of all the things, why should any ornately and well designed piece of Titanium and Tungsten jewelry be lagging in this philosphy.
Tungsten and Titanium usher in a new era in the world of jewelery
In the recent times, the jewelry industry seems to be going through a rapid transition. And instead of just seeing jewelry in the conventional metals like gold, silver or platinum, what one is seeing is the unveiling of a new era where metals like Titanium and Tungsten are beginning to occupy a pivotal position. Available in unique designs and styles, Titanium and Tungsten jewelry is not only well known for its resilience but is rather very beautiful when it is further embellished with precious stones say like diamonds. All the more, the jewelry also comes available in unique designs, styles and a variety going on to include bracelets, wedding rings, wedding bands and something extraordinary as a diamond embellished wedding ring.
Get into holy matrimony with style and pancahe
Tying the nuptials and getting into holy matrimony is for sure one of the most special occassion in the life of a to be married couple. Well, then again we would say, who would beg to differ on that, for the occasion in anyway should be nothing short of an everlasting memory. Doing something unique or unconventional is then called for and what better way to do it then by gifting your loved one a jewelry made from titanium or tungsten. Redefining the world of jewelry, these metals can be moulded into designs and styles that can often stretch from the beautiful to the trendy and from the quirky to the conventional. Yet even what's more heartening is; the same set of metals can be also be used in the shape of ornaments such as bracelets, rings and diamond encrusted wedding bands on the special day, thus turning any couple into a centre of attraction instantly.

Illuminati News
What is wrong with this world? Why all those civil wars, why all this chaos and disaster? Why can't people just live together in peace? When conflicts arise, why is it so hard for the United Nations and other parties to stop the killing, despite peace negotiators and ambassadors?
Is it that man is basically evil? Is it just human behavior? Lots of questions. When we look around, it may seem like man is basically evil, but that is not true. There is good and evil within us all; it needs to be there for our basic survival, and they are subjective terms in the sense that we can define good and evil in whatever way we want. What's good for one person, may be considered evil by another and vice versa. However, the society will eventually reflect the minds of their leaders, and if the leaders are implementing what the majority perceives as evil, the society will be evil as well, and people affected by a malevolent government will start acting like them. However, WE are the ones who appoint and accept our leaders, so ultimately the responsibility is yours and mine.
All this chaos, genocide, ethnic cleansing and the overall disasters have a genuine purpose. It is all very carefully planned by a few people, mostly men, behind the scenes, high up in the society, above any power structure that the ordinary citizen is aware of. It is a modern extension of an old theme to "take over the world". To those people, power, control and wealth is their true religion and they use any means they can to maintain their power and control, including murder and genocide.
These people on top, who basically are of Royal Bloodlines, is currently working on reducing the world population in order to easier maintain their control, and ultimately the strive towards a centralization of power, which will include the whole world.
This is a very old plan; something the same bloodlines have been working towards for millennia. However, now is the time when they have the means to accomplish their goal and fulfill the "Work of the Ages". They see us citizens as inferior and are dehumanizing us in their own minds to the extent that they don't care if we live or if we die. In a future Global Society, if they manage to accomplish this to its full extent, you and I will be no more than slaves, whom they can kill and treat as they want anytime they want.
Many people call this the New World Order, but it is really an Old World Order which is now about to be fully accomplished, unless we do something about it.
As I will show on this website, we are already mind controlled, deceived and slaves to these super-rich families, most of us without even noticing it, but the future they have at hands for us will be much worse...
I recommend that you continue reading from this website, and I am sure this body of information will blow your mind. Things you have been wondering about, that never made sense, will all of a sudden fall into place. On a gradient scale, you will start getting the full picture. You will become very aware of what is happening in the world and why and you will be able to see for yourself, as time goes, how things are unfolding and you will understand why certain things are happening.
Take one or a few pages at the time, because it is much to read, but it is vital for all of our survival to be aware of what this website will reveal. And if you are not familiar with the subject at all, I strongly advise you to start with the link called The Secret Brotherhood,. or click on "Read First" in the left menu on page 2.
Are you voting for the Democrats or the Republicans? Does it really matter which? Is the difference that big?
I will show you that the outcome, no matter whom you vote for, is already thoroughly outlined and predicted; not by the politicians themselves, but by the real powers, the "Shadow Government", invisible to the general public. The political decisions they make are not in our best interest, but in theirs only. The tax money you are paying to your government so they can work on accomplishing our common goals actually go towards accomplishing their goals, which are very different from ours. This Power Elite is deeply into the occult and black magic, which I also will show on this website. The rituals are practiced within secret societies, such as the Freemasons and others.
So who are those people I am talking about? They are basically 13 super wealthy families and their off-shots, with the European Nobility on top, and their fellow travelers are the International Bankers. Their bloodlines go back in time - way back to old Babylon and further. They are the same families, but under different names, that have influenced history almost since the beginning of time. It is mind-boggling, but hopefully this website will prove my point without any doubts.
This website has four main categories:
Illuminati News (A thorough research on WHO and WHAT is controlling this world from the shadows, and what their plans are).
UFOs and Aliens (Are UFOs and aliens real, and if so, what are they?)
Rock'n'Roll and Mind Control (Mind control within the music/art and entertainment industries, and how that affects us on a daily basis).
Spirituality and Spiritual Solutions (Who are we and where are we heading? What are our spiritual potentials?)
My advice is to start with category one and go on from there. There is much to study and much to learn. Still, this website only scratches the surface of what there is to know.
The site is updated on a regular basis. Updates can be found here.

The Wheatfield Town Board on Monday authorized Supervisor Bob Cliffe to contact the state Department of Transportation seeking an earlier date for improvement of Niagara Falls Boulevard in the town.
"The Boulevard is still a very unsafe place. I don't want to wait until somebody else dies," said Cliffe about the roadway on which accidents are common occurrences.
When the state first started Boulevard improvements using federal funding, it was thought that the two remaining portions in Wheatfield would be at least started by 2013, but funding cutbacks have meant the Wheatfield project has been delayed several times.
"It's pushed out so far now, it's not even on the list," Cliffe said.
The Wheatfield project was to include new pavement, a continuous two-way left turn lane dividing the streams of traffic, intersection improvements, drainage, curbs, sidewalks, driveway aprons and landscaping. Also, the CSX railroad bridge was to be replaced, getting rid of the center support, Cliffe said.
The two sections still not done in Wheatfield run from Mavis Drive to about Witmer Road, and from the Oppenheim Park area to the Niagara Falls city line, Cliffe said, noting that otherwise Niagara Falls Boulevard is now five lanes from the University at Buffalo to halfway through Wheatfield.
In 2007, an accident between Ward and Witmer roads took the lives of two Wheatfield residents when their van collided with an oncoming tractor-trailer.
"There are dozens of accidents on the Boulevard each year, many of which are caused by local folks turning left into a business or driveway. Cars coming along don't see them quickly enough and can't stop in time," Cliffe said, noting he'd like to see the roadwork done before another tragedy occurs.
In other matters:
•The town's Firearms Permit Review Board is now complete. Don MacSwan was named chairman earlier this month. Renamed to the group were last year's chairman Augie Tolli, Greg Lloyd and Ron Hohle. New members are Eric Minton, Doug Guenther and Ron Wolf. Former chairman and longtime member of the group Paul Cozad was named chairman emeritus.
The group is planning a pistol permit course for March 27. Sign up at the town clerk's office.
•Jennifer Court resident Chuck Naughton wanted to know when drainage work would be done on his street.
"If you don't want to get a soaker when you go to get the mail you have to take the car ... and the mailbox is at the end of the driveway," he said.
The work on Jennifer Court was on the Highway Department's "to do" list last year, but was not completed. Naughton was assured by Councilman Larry Helwig that the project is at the head of the list for 2013.
•The board authorized its engineers, Wendel Duchscherer Architects and Engineers, to provide design services for an estimated $6,000 for approximately 1,100 feet of pressure sewer along Wendt Drive. This will extend sewer services to four businesses, Rich Donner, water/sewer superintendent, said.
•The board approved the hiring of two part-time laborers and a Youth Center recreation aide for the Recreation Department, and authorized internal posting for the new deputy recreation director position.
•The next regular Town Board meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 11, at Town Hall.
Town Attorney Robert O'Toole said the board is expected to review at the February meeting updating policy regarding clothing allowance and mileage for town vehicles taken home by employees. This comes as a result of a recent meeting he held with an IRS representative, Budget Director Ed Mongold and some staff members.

What to CookChicken
Cheap Creamy Chicken Curry
Jenny is in perpetual search for easy, weeknight recipes to attempt to feed her family. When they balk, she just eats more.
Just as others mull the future of the commerce clause, I ponder possibilities for the chicken breast. I always seem to have this protein on hand, and I am in perpetual search for something quick to do with it, using the ingredients I have around the house.
Pleased was I to stumble upon Cheap Creamy Chicken Curry. Most people, even those too young to realize it, like chicken curry. Even mediocre chicken curry gets the job done on a weeknight, but this dish is well beyond that, elevated with an injection of coconut milk and a sort of shake 'n bake technique that more or less seals the lovely spice mix. If you are missing one of the listed spices here, do not fear, as the lime will bail you out in the end.
The main thing I suggest you do with this recipe is make the third step first, so that your chicken is hanging out in its spicy overcoat, maybe watching a little "I love Lucy" reruns while you sauté the onions and garlic. (That isn't nice I guess. Chunks of chicken breast don't watch TV. But you get the idea. I will try to show more respect.)
Once your other spices are letting off a nice aroma in the pan, add your chicken. Do not crowd please. Next comes the big show -- coconut milk YUM -- followed by a nice simmer. Do not forget the lime, as it sort of brings all these flavors and the creamy punch of fat together in the pan, finished on the plate with the dash of cilantro. Serve over basmati rice. Have a small slice of cake for dessert. Ask the kids to clean up. Think about what it would be like to visit India, wonder about who has a house there you might scam your way into, think some more about what footwear is best for an Indian sojourn, then go to bed.

Dems flex muscles, vow climate action
And they're starting to deliver.
A number of bills have been introduced, and hearings have begun. Most notably, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has created a special committee to look at the issue.
Some interest groups view Pelosi's move as an attempt to undercut Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and a longtime friend of the auto industry.
Dingell, a lawmaker since 1955, had said he will hold hearings on climate change but is wary of harming the auto industry and its workers. Now his role is less clear.
But offending Dingell and newly installed chairmen of other committees with jurisdiction over climate change - lawmakers who have been waiting years to head panels - could backfire and wind up delaying action.
Indeed, some Republicans have chortled privately that the unfolding turf war ensures nothing of significance will be enacted, warned Frank O'Donnell, president of the environmental group Clean Air Watch.
Still, Pelosi's special committee elevates climate change to a top-tier issue, he said.
Major bills introduced so far, with varying degrees of vigor, would seek to slow and ultimately decrease U.S. emissions of greenhouse gases.
Some aim first at major stationary sources of greenhouse gases, such as utility plants. But any comprehensive law is likely to include a provision for cars and trucks, even if it is nothing more than providing for tougher fuel economy standards.
A comprehensive review of the economy is necessary to make dealing with climate change cost-effective, said Jeff Sterba, CEO of PNM Resources, a utility holding company.
Sterba is one of several corporate CEOs who have formed an unusual coalition with environmental groups called the U.S. Climate Action Partnership. On Jan. 22, the coalition called on Congress and the White House to enact mandatory controls on greenhouse gases.
The conventional thinking has been that the next two years will be spent laying groundwork for a federal law limiting greenhouse-gas emissions after the next presidential election. But Eileen Claussen, president of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change and part of the new coalition, said the ideal timetable is "as soon as possible."
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D. Calif., the new chairwoman of that chamber's Environment and Public Works Committee, said after the Nov. 7 election that she wanted a nationwide, California-style cap on greenhouse gases.
In December she said such a measure may not be possible. But she does plan extensive hearings to establish the need for national limits.
Eyes on Bingaman
A more likely source of bipartisan legislation is the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, chaired by Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M. Bingaman is known for his thoughtful, bipartisan approach to complex issues.
The Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over fuel economy, is chaired by low-key Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii. Inouye is not expected to be aggressive on the issue. But the ranking Republican, Ted Stevens of Alaska, unexpectedly has proposed that car fuel economy standards be raised by 50 percent in a decade.
The California cap, enacted in September, contains a provision requiring new emission limits on cars and trucks if the state's existing landmark vehicle regulations are struck down.
The rules, adopted in 2004, require a 30 percent reduction in greenhouse gases from cars and trucks by 2016.
Automakers, car dealers and some allies are challenging the rules in federal court, calling them an illegal attempt by a state to regulate fuel economy, which they say only the federal government can do.

here's to my awesome Beta!
1. an untimly end
Rating 0/5 Word Count 1607 Review this Chapter
I had been acting crazy, every since the day my heart left. The day HE left I mean. I had barely eaten or spoken to anyone. Trapped in a numb little bubble. Although those months were painful, they haunted me, falling right back into the real world was worse. I grew to miss the emptiness; the pain in my chest where my heart used to beat, it was intolerable. It still is.
I wish I had the strength to carry on, for Charlie and Renee. But I can't. I tried so hard for Charlie, to be a regular kid but after what I heard last night was like punch in the gut.
Charlie spoke on the phone with his friend at the station on the phone, Theodore Wilson. They have worked together for years. Last night Theodore called the house and I answered.
"Hello?" I usually avoid the telephone, I hate hearing my hallow voice bounce between whoever's on the other line until they get over how dead I sound.
"Oh hi Bella, is Charlie home?" He had asked and I handed the receiver to my dad.
I had gotten up to my room to work on homework until I figured it was time to make dinner. I came down so quietly Charlie didn't notice, so he continued to speak without holding back.
"…sure, sure but this isn't like your daughter Theo, she should have been over that Cullen boy months ago but she's still in this fragile state. I mean I love her but I'm losing patience with her…uh huh…well that what I mean, at least Jennifer showed interest in something, Bella just walks around like a robot doing whatever asked of her without any enthusiasm…" Charlie confided in his friend. I stopped just outside the kitchen to listen.
"I was so pleased when she came to live with me. I missed her. But she's so dramitic and it's not just hormones at work here…no! I can't have her commited! She's just a kid…well she's improving, im not sure it's nessesary." He argued "Yes, in the first few months she seemed distant and dead. Honest to god, it was like a horror movie over here." I listened as Charlie said more about me. It was painful to think that all the effort I'd put into normalcy was a waste. He went on to say he was afraid, that as a parent he had no idea how the hell to handle me. That he was lost.
I walked back to the stairs and stomped back to the kitchen to give him a chance to talk about something else. I tried to smile at him but I felt my lip warble. It wasn't a shape they were accustom to. I made dinner in silence. We ate with the clatter of cutlery as musical accompaniment.
I'm discouraged, to say the least. What was the point? Clearly Charlie never benefited in my pretending to hold on, I certainly didn't. I thought I was secret, I was careful not let people see me fall apart, what a waste. I wince at the memory of someone else once telling be what a bad actress I was.
That's it. Charlie was my last reason for hanging on. What's the point of keeping this heart beating? I have nothing. I want to die, I have for months but now I will act. The decision is made but now there is only to think of how.
I look to the clock, 9:46 PM. I go downstairs. One last good bye to my father. He's lying on his worn couch, sleepily watching uniformed men fight for a ball.
"Hey Bella, you going to sleep now?" He looks away from thr TV with this cautious look in his eyes. It makes me want to cry.
"Yeah I am," I say. "I'm going to sleep." I smile, sort of, then creep to the kitchen to get the sharpest knife we have.
"Bella honey what are you getting" he calls from his couch. There it is again, that stupid conserned voice.
"Just some water." I pour myself a glass to be able to show him on my way upstairs. I slip the knife up my sleave and take my cup. One last kiss on the forehead for dear old dad.
"Love you." he murmers, distracted by player number 37 on the screen.
Back in my room I want to write a note.
Dear Charlie and Renee.
You may think what I've done is drastic but it was necessary. I loved you both dearly, you did nothing wrong.
Love Bella.
I scrawl quickly on a note pad. It's simple but I don't have more to say. I wish I could verbalize a few last words to my beloved but he probably wouldn't care. He left me alone to live my life human and fragile. Would he care about what I'm doing?
I picture him in the arms of a beautiful vampire worthy of his love, I imagine a distant pang of guilt. I smile bleakly, my angel cared so deeply for life. Wishing to protect it. He could have just let me die on many occasions but his shear will for human life kept me breathing, defending me from James, from Tyler's van.
Would he regret leaving me? No, he moved on I'm sure. Maybe our entire relationship was a dare from Emmett, a bet. I can imagine Emmett, "Hey Edward, $50 says you can't date a human" I would never think of Emmett as malicious or mean. How were they supposed to know how attached I'd become, how in love. I cherished every second he stayed with me.
That makes the most sense. They do make meaningless bets. I hardly thing a god like him, like Edward Cullen *wince* would willingly pick a plain-Jane like me out of a crowd. I suppose silly games like that are all that make high school exciting for the immortals.
I bet he rarely thinks of me, I'm probably just one out of a hounded other girls whose lives he touched. That's fine Edward, I am thankful for every second of time you gave me. I love him and always will.
I hardly feel the first cut, the second and third even less. Even as I reach deeper into my arm, I barely notice a thing. I begin to grow dizzy, my vision grows hazy and I can't tell if it's from the blood loss or the smell,either way I welcome it.
The memories of us together don't seem to hurt as much when it's the last thing I'll ever see. Visions of our meadow, of diner in Port Angeles, of fast drives.
I think I hear a scratch on the window. More memories like our lazy summer. I remember waking up each day to a face more lovely than any thing I've ever seen. Or walking hand in hand with a greek god.
"Edward." I croak, my last word. The last thing I want to say, I'm here alone. I wonder if HE would see the irony, the blood he wanted, and wouldn't take now, staining the wooden floor.
"Bella!" He calls. He sounds worried, in my dreams he was never upset. No, I think, please cheer up. I only have you for so long. My hallucinations never last.
A figure steps through the window deftly. Another memory of him, of Edward. This one is vivid, the bedside lamp sends a soft glow around the room. He comes closer; his perfect features look frazzled and terrified. I try to smile at him. I want to see his crooked grin. Though it hurts a little, I want to relive every memory.
"Bella!" He cries running to me. "Bella what have you done?!" He grabs a towel and begins to put pressure on the wounds. I'm too weak to push him off, once I'm not in danger the hallucination will go, I can't have that. He whips out a phone and speaks into it way too fast. I barely catch it. "Alice was right, she did. What can I do? How do I save her?..." He waits as I guess Carlisle speaks. "NO! I CAN'T I CAN'T DO THAT, SHE'S HUMAN" He roars into the phone. I bask in his simple touch.
This is a good way to go, slowly letting every last drop of life flow from me with my true love beside me. After a few minutes he hangs up and looks down at me. "Edward, don't worry." I muster the words. "Just stay".
"No Bella, no." His body breaks into dry sobs as he hurriedly tries to make a bandage to hold my blood in. "I can't lose you. You have make it, please Bella, make it!" He whimpers fiercly.
"Just let me go Edward. I love you, I always will." I whisper. He holds my hand and kisses it over and over.
"I love you Bella. More than anything else in history. More than there are grains of sand, blades of grass, molecules of air. I love you Bella." His musical voice sounds far away, like he's speaking though a tunnel. He kisses my forehead and we just look into each other's eyes until, I can't see well. "I love you" He echoes.
And as everything goes black I say, "Edward, I would die for you." I let the darkness cover me and I let myself drift.

text: Student Profiles Phil Gates '08 Phil Gates '08 Major: English and Theater Interdisciplinary Major Hometown: Shaker Heights, Ohio Why did you choose to come to Bowdoin? What really convinced me that Bowdoin was the place to be was the amazing sense of community that I felt here. All schools tell you they have that, but at Bowdoin I felt that sense of being part of a community even before I definitely decided to come here. When I visited, students were friendly and helpful as I wandered blindly, trying to find my way around campus. I sat in on a class and the professor actually invited me to his office to chat afterwards, which didn't happen at any classes I sat in on at other schools. Another professor contacted me to see if I had any questions about Bowdoin, even though she was on leave that semester. I thought, if I feel so welcomed and at home now, I'll feel even more at home if I go to school here. And I do! Why did you choose your major? Theater was one of my passions in high school, but I had never thought of it as something I could really study in college; I assumed it would be something fun on the side to distract me from my "serious" class work. Then, in my first semester here, I took Theater 101: Making Theater, and completely fell in love with the class, the instructor (Professor Libby Marcus), and the idea that theater was actually something worth studying, and studying "seriously" at that. Since there is no theater major at Bowdoin, I decided that the interdisciplinary major in English and theater would be the next best thing. As it turns out, I've loved all the classes I've taken for the English half of my major as well as the theater half, so the whole interdisciplinary idea has worked out wonderfully. What has been a course you especially enjoyed at Bowdoin? Currently, I'm taking Introduction to Gay and Lesbian Studies with Professor Peter Coviello, and it is no exaggeration to say that, just halfway through the semester, this class has already changed the way I think. This sounds like a cliché, but I don't say it lightly. The readings and discussions we've had on queer issues have made me look at gender, sexuality, and my own identity in an entirely new way. Professor Coviello's energy is infectious and the whole class gets drawn into discussions in which all kinds of ideas are flying around. When talking about something like sexuality, people are bound to disagree, but even when they do, everyone remains not only respectful but eager to understand other points of view. Even outside of class I frequently get into heated discussions with my roommates or anyone who will listen about what I've read or talked about in class ... there is just that much to think about. What professor or professors have especially inspired you during your time at Bowdoin? There have been so many, but a few in particular stand out. First of all, Sonja Moser in the theater department has been an invaluable teacher in many different capacities — as a professor, as a director, and as an advisor and mentor. Her Directing class, which I took the fall of my sophomore year, opened my eyes to different ways of creating theater, and has profoundly affected the work I've done onstage ever since. One of Professor Moser's great gifts is the ability to help her students and her actors find in themselves things that they didn't know how to express or didn't even know were there. The ability to surprise yourself (and the willingness to let yourself be surprised) is absolutely key to making great theater, something I've learned from Professor Moser both directly from working with her, and indirectly through watching plays she's directed. Also in the theater department, Davis Robinson is a huge part of why I am involved with theater at Bowdoin. He directed me in my first show here, which was Angels in America: Millennium Approaches, at the beginning of my freshman year. I was terrified: I'd just arrived at Bowdoin and suddenly I was in this huge and difficult play, tackling a character more complex than anything I'd ever done before. Professor Robinson's guidance and faith in me gave me confidence and made that show one of the most unforgettable experiences I've ever had. He is truly invested in his students, and his own work is an inspiration as well. Professor Tricia Welsch in the film studies department was one of the first professors I had at Bowdoin and is one of the very best. She is incredibly articulate and knowledgeable in her field. She was also my pre-major advisor and it was an enormous help having someone so on top of things to keep me on track! I cannot end without mentioning Aviva Briefel, who is responsible for my falling in love with Victorian literature, something I would never have predicted before it happened. Have you engaged in any independent research while at Bowdoin? I'm deeply involved in an independent study right now — I'm directing a production of Six Characters in Search of an Author by Luigi Pirandello, which will be performed in Wish Theater on November 8 and 9. I've directed before: a 20-minute piece as part of the Directing class two years ago, and I was assistant director for The Skin of Our Teeth last fall. But as my first time flying solo on a full-length production, this is by far my biggest project yet! It's scary, overwhelming, and completely thrilling. I love it. What extracurricular or work experiences have you had at Bowdoin? Because I seem to be utterly unable to tear myself away from the theater, I've been on the board of Masque and Gown (Bowdoin's only student theater organization) for three years — as vice president, artistic director, and now as president. The administrative and logistical side of producing plays is a whole different world from what you see on stage, from selecting plays to buying lumber. I've also been involved with BQSA (Bowdoin Queer Straight Alliance) since my sophomore year. In addition to the fact that meetings and events like our annual Drag Ball are always a blast, being part of a visible queer presence on campus is very important to me. Since the second semester of my freshman year, I've worked at the information desk in David Saul Smith Union, and this year I'm the student manager there. A lot of prospective students and community members come by with questions about events or to ask directions, and it's great being a kind of ambassador between Bowdoin and the community in this way. I also love working with the staff of the activities office. They are all warm and friendly people, which makes it a great atmosphere to work in. Did you study abroad during your time at Bowdoin? I was in London the spring semester of my junior year, studying acting at the British American Drama Academy. It was a great program, but what I think will stay with me most about my time abroad is the more general experience of being in a new place and adapting to the culture there. Living in London required me to be so much more independent than I've ever had to be before, and I discovered I loved the feeling. I also completely fell in love with the city — the history, the arts, the nightlife ... even the public transportation! I really think everyone should study abroad if your major/academic requirements allow it; as fantastic as Bowdoin is, it's great to have a new perspective for a while. What have you done during your summers? The summer after my freshman year I spent a few weeks attempting to refurbish the deck on my house. Although it ultimately turned out fine, I don't think my family is going to be asking for my home repair skills again anytime soon.... Two summers ago I was an apprentice with New York Stage & Film at the Powerhouse Theater, located on the Vassar campus. I got to take classes, perform, see workshops of new plays, and even do a couple readings of plays in development with the playwrights themselves. It was a great introduction to how a professional theater company works. I spent this past summer living in the tiny village of Islesford on Little Cranberry Island, which is just offshore of Mount Desert Island in Maine. It's about three hours north of Bowdoin. I was collaborating with Professor Moser, who lives there and was starting an annual summer event called the Islesford Theater Project. As the first production, she directed The Glass Menagerie in August, which I was privileged to act in along with Kathleen Lewis '10 and two professional actors. It was an amazing experience — being able to work exclusively on a show without worrying about classes or anything else! If all goes according to plan, I will be back there next summer and hopefully many summers in the future! What is your best Bowdoin memory? It's impossible to choose just one, there are so many things that are memorable for so many different reasons.... Playing pranks on my freshman year proctor (all out of love, of course) will always rank high on the list. Also trips off campus with friends: to Popham Beach, the Coastal Studies Center, Portland, Freeport, random diners, and other places. One of my favorite local discoveries was when my friends and I found the Desert of Maine in Freeport. (You didn't know Maine had a desert, did you?) Also late-night conversations about all manner of things, impromptu dance parties, power outages, spontaneous snowball fights, birthday celebrations, stargazing, Super Snacks, cast dinners.... And many of my best memories are of just walking across the Quad, soaking in the beauty of campus. I think autumn is the most beautiful time of year here, so these days my walks across campus are particularly bittersweet, knowing this is my last fall here. What are your plans for after graduation? I know I want to go into theater professionally, probably as a director. More specifically than that it's hard to say, but I'll most likely go to grad school to get my MFA in a few years, and in the intervening time I'll be living the life of a starving artist.... What advice would you give to a prospective student or first-year about the Bowdoin experience? Get really involved on campus and take advantage of all the opportunities here, but make sure you go off campus (and Cote's Ice Cream and Bart & Greg's DVD Explosion don't count) once in a while to remind yourself that there is a world beyond Bowdoin!
