TOWNSEND -- The bell tolled five times, and again five times, and again, until four sets of five had sounded. Firefighters and emergency medical personnel stood in respect, honoring their fallen comrades from across the ages and across the country.
The traditional sound recalls the days when firefighters would be summoned to emergencies. Before telephones, patterns rung on the firehouse bell or sounded by horns broadcast the location of a fire. When a firefighter was killed in action, the bell would toll five, five, five, five, telling all within range of the fatality.
The service Sunday was one of several held in communities across the country to honor firefighters who gave their lives to protect the lives and property of their fellow citizens, Fire Chief Don Klein said. This year, 98 firefighters and EMS personnel died in the line of duty across the country.
Members of the Townsend Fire-EMS Department marched behind a bagpiper and gathered at the firefighters memorial in front of Spaulding School for a brief ceremony. The speakers celebrated the connection that department members have with each other.
"The impulse of a firefighter to help is not a lonely impulse, but it is shared and agreed upon in every department conversation, every shared meal, every training drill and every company meeting," Klein said. "There is only one reason to wear the uniforms of our departments, and that is to be there when we are needed."
During his address, the Rev.
The current department members are carrying on in the footsteps of the men and women they were honoring at the gathering, he said.
"We honor them with our presence and words today, but we honor them every day through our readiness to serve as they did."
The firefighters keep alive the memory of their friends in the department who have died.
Frank Blanchard, a retired Townsend firefighter, died this year. The department will honor him at a later time, Lt. Bill Elliott said.
On Sept. 8, members of the department will hold a golf tournament, raising money for cancer research, in honor of two members who died of the disease. This year will be the third time they have held the event.
It was a busy year for EMS personnel this year.
"The guys do a very good job," Elliott said.
The number and severity of fires was not remarkable this year. Fighting the fires that occurred was made easier by sprinkler systems and other systems working as they should, he said.
"We don't mind if we don't go to fires," he added.
Klein had one request for the public: "Whenever you see a firefighter, EMT or police officer, thank them for what they do every day to keep you and your family safe. While we do not seek recognition for the things we do, it is always comforting to know that people do appreciate what we do."

A Great Write-Up About Throttle
There is no better feeling than when somebody makes a connection with our music and can just understand where we're coming from. Look, good or bad, we want people to have some kind of emotional response to our tunes. That's why we write them. Getting our message into your noggins and tapping into shared feelings and experiences.
Of course, we really really like it when someone responds positively to the experience of listening to our music. A fella we've never met before, and who posts blogs during the witching hours, got a hold of our songs and, luckily, was very impressed. We were blown away that someone, unsolicited, gave such an awesome review of Throttle (there's a dirty world of PR and press releases and a fair amount of $$$ that goes into getting attention). So, without further ado, James White's Musical Journey and his review of our baby, Throttle.

the right marathon
For the past week I've spent what feels like every free moment I've had researching marathons. I never imagined I'd have so much trouble choosing my first. I thought running the race was supposed to be the hard part!
There are so many factors to consider.
- Course (flat, flat, flat!)
- Date (ideally Late Sept - Early Nov)
- Number of other racers (not too big, but not too small)
- Location (i live in colorado so will be training at elevation...bonus points for sea level races and locales where ill have a nice big cheering section)
- Running buddies (Depending on which race I choose, my older sister is considering running with me. HUGE PLUS to have her struggling through it with me!)
- Reviews from past runners re: weather, volunteers, organization (marathonguide has been a HUGE help)
All of that said, I've narrowed my list to a few east coast races I'm really looking into.
Toronto Waterfront Marathon - Sept 27
Toronto Marathon - Oct 18
Niagara Falls Marathon - Oct 25
OBX Outerbanks Marathon - Nov 8
Stay tuned to see which race I choose. And of course, if you have any thoughts or suggestions, do share!

NBC turned left and went right off a cliff.
There's a disturbing back-story to these lies and fabrications that we haven't heard yet.
Men lie about their bravery, their exploits, whatever to impress someone, usually an attractive woman (or man).
When a guy lies about some feat or event that is easily disproved, there's more going on than a 'fog' of memory.
IMO, he needs some therapy to come to realize that he's just a pretty face news reader and not anyone's hero.
Good article about this on Fox.com by Dr Keith Ablow. Why does Brian (The Germinator) Williams feel the need to pump up the story when he was pretty courageous just to be in the places he was in the first place?
His Administration
His Liberal Media
Politicians(too numerous to mention)
The IRS

The people of Montenegro go to the polls today in the country's first general election since it declared independence three months ago. Polls suggest voters will overwhelmingly back the leaders who cut them loose from Serbia and that will spell victory for the ruling Democratic Party of Socialists of Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic. He is hoping his coalition with the Social Democratic Party will lead to an absolute majority in parliament to cap their victory in May's independence referendum.
First election for independent Montenegro
First election for independent Montenegro
The main opposition group, headed by Predrag Bulatovic, is expected to come a distant second. It consists of three parties that opposed Montenegrin independence. But even if it wins it has no plans to reverse independence as European Union membership is the ultimate goal of all parties contesting. A major persuader in the independence campaign was the argument that Montenegro must shrug off Serbia's heavy political baggage which includes the handover of war crime suspects.
Now that most of the euphoria has died down many analysts will be watching the election performance of the new Movement for Change party which is highly critical of Montenegro's deeply entrenched political hierarchy. But whoever wins today's election, few doubt that Milo Djukanovic will continue to be the most powerful man in Europe's newest independent state.

One of my favourite items in my wardrobe at the moment is this beautiful paisley print oversized shirt from Missguided. I bought the shirt a month or so ago and have received many compliments saying the design is lovely. I thought i would share with you how i have styled the shirt in a simple way that is perfect for hitting the shops or wearing to work.
I have styled the Missguided oversized shirt with my favourite Topshop High Waisted Black Leggings – they are really comfortable and something i wear a lot for casual wear. You can't see in the photograph, but they are a thick and high quality material with panels running down the legs which give a more detailed look.
Now lets get back to the shirt. The Missguided oversized paisley shirt is a beautiful fit and has gorgeous colours running throughout the print, making it stand out. Unfortunately i think the shirt has sold out online as it went into sale, but Missguided have many different Paisley print shirts and shirt dresses that are just as lovely! I always get a little unsure about what size to order from online only stores, but this shirt fits lovely and is true to size.
My Michael Kors tote is my daily bag that i keep all my essentials in. I just love the minimal design and is made out of a strong leather. I've been using this bag since January and is still in excellent condition, but i really would love a new designer bag sometime soon!
I've been wanting a wool hat for a while now and i think this one from H&M is a lovely accessory that finishes off the outfit nicely. It is an accessory that will follow me through to the autumn/winter months and was an affordable price at £12.99.
I've been on a mission to find a pretty pair of patent loafers that are stylish and provide comfort. I purchased these from Forever 21 and was so happy i found them! I have never thought about going to Forever 21 for shoes, but i am really impressed and just love the contrasting monochrome design which make them look expensive – but they only cost me £19.00.
The photographs was taken in Cirencester as me and my boyfriend went there at the weekend and had a little look around the shops and stopped off for a coffee. I thought this would be a great place to shoot an outfit post because i think the streets have a lovely character and it also suited the outfit!
Get my look…

Celestial Method
A group of girls wish a flying saucer into existence, then disperse for 7 years. The story is about them coming back together and trying to forgive the trivial sins of their past. When they were like, 5 or something. Nothing of significance happens in the series. 2/10
The coffin princess: Avenging battle
The second series of Hitsugi no Chaika is almost complete and is pretty decent. I rank the coffin princess among the mid-tier animes. It's not a genre breaker but is executed pretty well. A young girl carrying a coffin enlists the help of saboteurs to reclaim parts of her murdered father's body for a fit and proper burial. It has been five years since the war ended between her father's empire and the six other major nations. Yet in this world of magic not everything is what it seems to be, including Chaika herself. After a hundred years of battle there are those that wish to rekindle their glory as warriors. Will Chaika be an instrument of war or peace? 7/10
A Good Librarian Like a Good Shepard
This is a bit of a weird clash between harem and transcendence themes. It's OK but it feels like it never quite knows what it wants to be. I guess that's the point as the main character decides whether to be in or out of his world of books, and in or out of the celestial library that allows its patrons to control the fate of humanity. It's not quite finished yet, but I think I can give it a rating. 4/10
(see how accessible I'm making this... I even looked up the English titles)

... I suppose I had to have completed the series, not just seen a few episodes...
The last anime I watch (to completion) were:
Toradora a romance-comedy which focuses on two students thrown together by accident and their mutual desire for the affection of the other's friend. After an altercation, Ryūji Takasu, a frightening and misunderstood Nice Guy pledges to help the notoriously violent Taiga Aisaka (The Palmtop Tiger) in her quest to admit her love to a fellow student, while Taiga claims to intend to help Ryūji in return.
I'd give the series a solid 7/10. Character development is I feel, quite solid and appropriately steady, none of it felt forced or ham-handed, though it might be jarring in the first major arc.
Though my rating might not be reliable as I admittedly have a lot of feels invested in the show.
Attack on Titan
Humanity is resting idly at the brink of extinction, protected by the great Walls from the neigh-unstoppable Titans, human-like giants which consume humans and forced them to the brink over a hundred years ago. After a time of prosperity and security behind the walls, a titan of unprecedented size smashes through the outer-most wall, forcing humanity to retreat further and closer to the edge.
I'd give Attack on Titan a tentative 8/10. It is brilliantly animated, character development is fairly well done in those who do develop, but jarring in others. I also love how the show does a lot to deconstruct a lot of old tropes like child soldiers, glory in battle and death and the psychology of fighting a clearly overwhelming foe.
I had to knock it down from 9 for fact that it doesn't have an ending. I'm guessing we wont have an actual ending until perhaps at least two more seasons, though it depends on whether the producers will keep along with the manga and how long that will run.

Speed Grapher
A retired war photographer, Tatsumi Saiga in the nearish future japan gets a lead to investigate a fetish club for the super rich and it just gets realy realy wierd from there on in.
Its a very mature themed anime and not for those who are squimish. Its slightly surrealistic, with a lot of adult themes, violence and gorn.
Charterers are beautifully written, voice acting was top notch, both the sub and Dub are beautifully pulled off. Animation is superb, though a bit on the weird side of the fence. A masterpice form GONZO Digimation.
Eyeshield 21
A nice sports/shonen Anime adaptation of one of my favorite mangas, animated fairly well, sticks fairly close to the manga for 90% of the show. Good character growth, fairly good voice acting.
Only detraction from it is really the ending, it cut quite a few bits, and some of the characterization was not carried over.
Naruto Shippuden
Very long Shonen anime, animation varies depending on whether the episode is lifted from the manga or is filler, the important episodes are always very well animated.
Suffers somewhat from its length with major villains built up and then defeated, meaning each one after has to be more and more powerful, the power creep is very evident in the final arc that is currently airing. The other detraction is the main characters seemingly jedi mind trick level of persuasion, often referred to as talk- no-jutsu by fans and the massive amount of filler.
The final arc though has really stepped up the story and moved it from a slightly serious fighting anime to down right dark and gritty in quite a few places.
Decent anime, good for fans of shonen.
Full Metal Alchemist - Brotherhood
One I would recommend to any fan of shonen anime ( Spotted a trend yet ). Deep and compelling story line, great voice acting, beautifully fluid style of animation and paced well.
Not exactly kid friendly, much of the show deals about war, betrayal death and loyalty. A must watch.
The requirement of evidence to back your claim does not disappear because it hurts your feelings, reality does not care about your feefees.

The Electric Town's Bookstore
A group of young adults work in a bookstore selling various manga. It's a pretty meat and potatoes affair with good enough art direction and run of the mill story and characters. The characters and themes are all well rehearsed tropes and none of the stories or characters are deep enough to care about. You know exactly who is going to pair up with who and in what way from the first episode. Sensei's character arc comes the closest to being engaging and was the only one that held a genuine laugh or two for me. There are a few notable monologues thrown in, mostly about the changing depiction of breasts in manga series through the changing of the seasons. 4/10

Silver Will Argevollen
Two mech-based armies square off against one another, one side clearly losing control over their territory. The series follows mobile Unit 8 whose special mech the Argevollen is clearly superior to those around it albeit piloted by an inexperienced officer. Standard Mech fare, and up until about episode 15 this was a 4/10 anime for me. Things picked up though, and if you skip the first ten episodes or so this becomes a 6/10 series. Political intrigue kicks off at this point in the relationship between the manufacturer of the new mech unit and two warring sides drives inevitable conflicts, and memories of a lost sibling fuel the crisis. It's firmly in my Tier 2, not a genre breaker or a world changer. But for a few episodes at least it is a competently executed military-focused series that builds characters and plot deep enough to care about.

Your Lie in April
A boy meets a girl playing music in a park. A story gracefully unfolds whereby a young boy's musical career is healed and revived after the death of his mother. It's story that is part moe, part sports anime, part teen romance, love triangle, and to say much more would be to give away key plot points. I'm at episode 11 and the remainder of the plot has been fairly well telegraphed, but I'm looking forward to seeing the conclusion. This is a real gem in my eyes, and I'm glad I came across it. It isn't a burning must watch anime but for me makes my tier 1. Maybe it's the christmas spirit coming over me, but this is such a thing of beauty and light it's so hard to hate and easy to enjoy. The score, characters, plot, tone... they all mesh and its light tone allows it to deal with darker topics in a way that a more serious anime could not. For me this is a genre breaker that shows the expertise of the creative team in bringing together wildly different elements and making them work and propel the story economically and yet wistfully and at a calm and airy pace. 7/10

RE: Rate the last anime series you watched
Steins;Gate follows the adventure of self proclaimed Mad Scientist Okabe Rintarō and co of the "Future Gadget Laboratory" as Okabe cracks the secrets of time itself. It soon becomes apparent to Okabe that the consequences of altering time can be far greater than he'd ever realised.
As the main concept of time travels is... not quite scientifically feasible now... the writers had plenty of room to run, and run they did, with an interesting take with the concept, making it interesting while also being easy to digest; they flesh it out just enough to allow the audience to think, but not enough to get bogged down in meaningless Star Trekesque babble. The best part of the time travel plot, however is not explanation, but the effects it has. While subtle at first, the implications of time travel become quite apparent, especially at the climax of the series. More interesting than that is the effects on our 'hero' Okabe; he being the only member of the Laboratory who can remember the previous 'world lines'. This does bring up the problem of character development, which for this series is not really a problem at all: Only Okabe really changes, since he is the only one who experiences the frequent shifts between space-time, but it works; he changes drastically from beginning to end and in a remarkably compelling way. While the other characters stay more or less static in time, they are more than good enough to stand in such a way, though subtle change does happen as time goes on in terms of relationships between the cast as they spend more time together.
Under normal circumstances, the show looks... decent. It doesn't look like much special, but it does have a look of it's own which is rather appealing. Though it seems to keep most of it's animation budget under lock and key for just the right moment, which it pulls off; those moments where the stocks were pulled from the animation were awesome.
The biggest problem the series has is that it takes a few episodes to get rolling. And the final few episodes get some flak, but I find them perfectly fitting.
I'd rate Steins;Gate an 9/10. Fucking buy that shit. Now. And marathon the bastard.
And now, because every single one of my ratings has been so overwhelmingly positive; have some shit:
K-On follows one Yui Hirasawa, new to school (sorry, can't remember if it is "high" or "middle") who wants to join a club; after some faffing about due to having no idea what club she should join, she is basically drafted into the school's "Light Music Club" which is desperate for members after she mistook the name for 'music requiring no ability' basically. She becomes the fledging band's guitarist despite having no prior experience and the series proceeds to follow the daily life of the band as they go on their quest to improve their skills and play at a live concert.
This series is a Slice of Life, which feels like they didn't bother cutting a slice and instead just went and took the whole goddamned cake. Which is ironic, given that the most common activity performed by the cast is eating fucking cake and drinking tea. Instead of practising as one might think a band would be wont to do, the vast majority of time is spent sitting on their remarkably not fat asses chatting and stuffing their faces with cake and tea. In fact it is their primary means of conflict solution: New band member feels uneasy? Have some cake! Supervisor suffering deep depression due to teen-years romantic failures? Have some cake! Keyboard/vocalist threatening to quit? Have some motherfucking cake! Cake may be delicious, but it doesn't work that way, damnit! When they do practise it is usually played for laughs due to Yui's near-total incompetence and to offset and embolden that she is good on stage. Speaking of on-stage moments; there are remarkably few: in an anime based around a band, one would think that playing even minor events would be a more common occurrence, but no; there are maybe three real preferences in the show. And about just as many songs to boot....
And for a comedy series there are few actually funny moments; a one or two made me smirk but that was about it and those few jokes get endlessly and mercilessly reused.
One good thing about the show is it looks good. The animation is fluid throughout and remains consistently good, though the 'moe-blob' style may get on the nerves of some. The only time the show really breaks the 'looks good' streak is during concert scenes and the opening and closing (but that's to be expected). Concert scenes undeniably look fantastic and they fit with the music being played, which is itself a very, very small bonus; if you like J-pop or just up-beat music, you'll love the music K-On has to offer. And if not, you may enjoy the background music, which while they tend to very... backgroundy, when listened to on their own tend to stand well for themselves.
K-on gets a solid 4/10.
It drags on and on just as much as real life does; little is ever accomplished per episode and the one episode where they actually memorably do something is rendered pointless immediately afterward, not that they did much to begin with. The only merits this show has that it looks good and has a few good songs, which are absolutely not enough to save it from being a soul-sucking waste of time!

RE: Rate the last anime series you watched
I watched Fate: Zero a few times. One of the best and most original shows I have seen. I also still follow Naruto Sippuden every week and it is also an amazing anime.
There is also Fate: Stay night, it is the original, where Fate: Zero is a prequel, but Stay night is ... I don't know, bad? The story and lore have been changed and everything is ... kinda like PG13, while Zero is 18+. There, the main difference.
I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

RE: Rate the last anime series you watched
I have some mixed feelings about Steins;Gate. Episodes 1-12 were very slow. They were important in establishing character, but I think could have been told in a more economical way. Around episode 13 things improved radically, and around 15-18 were good but followed a very predictable overall plot (I have 6 things to undo, we have to undo them, and can't solve the problem any other way). Once the characters are developed they are mostly compelling. They are still mostly fairly one-dimensional but there are some interesting reveals. In the end I do care about Shiina Mayuri's fate, and that is the critical requirement to caring about the main body of this story. Her future mirrors the future of the world and personalises the future tragedy that must be avoided. This then leads into further compelling choices.
I wasn't surprised after watching to find this series was based on a game. It seems to be referenced in Daru's obsession with 2D girls and dating simulators, and reflected in the soft harem theme. This repeating time structure with increasing player knowledge would have made a lot of sense in that setting. However, I think much of what I didn't like about it may also have been hangovers from this earlier format. I think too much character development depends on reveals, and I think perhaps some of the predictability of plot in the middle section may have been focused on trying to keep the player on task in the earlier medium. Some of its strengths also seem based in that medium. It has as strong narrative and well thought out world system. It ends strongly and was well worth the time to watch. 7/10

RE: Rate the last anime series you watched
Filox: My brother put me on to Fate/Zero a while back. It's probably about 5/10 in my bucket. The background and story were interesting but at least at the time I watched it I didn't feel it had a real kick to it. On reflection at least a few characters and story arcs were highly memorable. I think I liked the ancillary characters more than the leads. Rider's arc was particularly memorable to me, as was Caster's arc - though somewhat less pleasant . I don't think I ever really got into the Church's conspiracy, nor cared at all about Saber's character. Her reveal was interesting, but her conflict with Lancer and her other conflicts really didn't grab me.
I don't get as much time to sit and watch anime series that often, so I appreciate series that end I have seen some Naruto Shippuden and they have been excellent, but I just haven't been able to commit to 17 season anime - nor do I feel like I can drop in and just watch a few here and there and do the series justice. I like my binge watching to have a full stop at the end. My daughter Miss 8 has just finished watching the 200 episodes of Sailor Moon, and I somewhat envy her ability to just sit down and watch one thing for that long.

The Shining TV Special
August 18, 2008
It was April 1 of this year (or May31, something) when I first saw the movie The Shining, the original, which starring Jack Nicholson.
The other day I bought the DVD of The Shining TV special which aired sometime on 1997 (Jack Nicholson movie was 1980, btw). Yesterday we watched the whole 6 hour/3 DVD set!
It was great!
You can read my post about it on my movie blog and on my daddy blog… 😀
Just want to mention here that I prefer the TV special, not that I don't like Jack N. I do,.. it just that the TV is better, imho. Plus Stephen King directs it. 😀
Also, just want to mention here that there was no mortgage and refinancing story about the Overlook hotel. Movies showing there was also not about Redtube and TUbe8 ok? Just want to make it straight. 😀
Dolan's Cadillac Movie on 2009?
May 27, 2008
Here's something worth mentioning about a future project involving Stephen King…
I first read the 'news' on Moose Jaw that the a short story from Mr. King's Nightmares and Dreamscape called Dolan's Cadillac will be produced and to be shown on 2009.
True or not, that was my thought too.
I then checked IMDB and saw that it is indeed in pre production!
Dolan's Cadillac is about
"a dark revenge tale about Las Vegas middle school science teacher Tom Robinson whose beloved wife Francey witnesses an execution in the desert and is then targeted for death by the mobster who committed it, notorious Vegas crime lord Jimmy Dolan. Dolan's vast wealth stems from his control of The Mandarin casino. Dolan succeeds in having Francey killed before she can testify against him. Faced with resistance from law enforcement, Tom sets out to avenge his wife's death.."
Stephen King, Criticized
May 7, 2008
The current issue that Mr. Stephen King is facing reminded me of the one with John Lennon's "Popular than Jesus Christ" statement.
Common? Well, after the statement, people didn't took notice until some days (weeks) later. Now, a particular blogger criticized Mr. Stephen King that apparently Americans can't read.
Mr. Stephen King commented back saying:
"That a right-wing-blog would impugn my patriotism because I said children should learn to read, and could get better jobs by doing so, is beneath contempt,"
"I live in a National Guard town, and I support our troops, but I don't support either the war or educational policies that limit the options of young men and women to any one career — military or otherwise,"
I'm sure Mr. King didn't meant to say that America can't read… then again, he's the wordsmith..
"Under the Dome" Coming Soon?
May 6, 2008
I just read from Larry of The Fire Wire that Mr. Stephen King will be, could be, possible be coming out with a brand new (well, sort of ) book!
He mentioned that there's this unfinished manuscript of Mr. King initially titled "The Cannibal' first written in 1983 will be brought out of the trunk again and may be continued.
According to Stephen King who appeared on CSPAN2 this evening on the program, "A writing Discussion with Stephen, Tabitha, and Owen King", the book has come back to life. He read an excerpt from what promises to be a very long novel entitled "Under the Dome".
For Stephen King fans, this is big! I guess, we'll just have to wait. If you guys have any update or news on these, please comment… I'm really excited on everything stephen king. 🙂

Poetry Festival Santa Cruz a *Success*
I read at the Poetry Festival Santa Cruz last night as part of the SF QuietLightning reading series. What a terrific event: many great readings, lots of good music and enthusiastic support from a large audience. After a 30 year hiatus will the Poetry Festival SC become a regular feature once again? Judging by yesterday's attendance I would say 'yes'.
Many thanks to the good people of quietlightning who organized an SF contingent of writers and poets to perform – they did a great job of supporting the readers and our work.

A simple cat-eye look is my go to makeup look. I love how a simple cat-eye can dress up your face. There is such a big difference.
For the base I am wearing MAC Matchmaster Foundation in 7.0, I will be doing a full review soon. The concealer I wore was the Jordana Undercover Concealer in Sand. I set everything with the Kryolan Translucent Face Powder in TL4
I filled by brows with the Etude House Brow Pencil in No 03 and used the the Rimmel Brow Gel in Dark Brown. For blusher I wore was MAC Love Thing and I love it.
Finally I wore a bolder lip as my eyes were bare and I wore MAC House Wine on my lips. A lovely pink red lipstick.
What do you think of my FOTD? Do you go out with just a cat-eye?

Most inexperienced cooks believe, mistakenly, that a fine cake is less challenging to produce than a fine souffle or mousse. I know, however, that a good cake is like a good marriage: from the outside, it looks ordinary, sometimes unremarkable, yet cut into it, taste it, and you know that it is nothing of the sort. It is the sublime result oflong and patient experience, a confection whose success relies on a profound understanding of compatibilities and tastes; on a respect for measurement, balance, chemistry and heat; on a history of countless errors overcome.

My Inspiration
About nine months out of the year I am at my home and studio in northern Minnesota. This magical place provides the backdrop for my inspiration. It takes my breath away to come upon nature, to watch great blue herons passing overhead or have the company of a northern leopard frog in my hand. It is a thrill to observe creatures that are so very different than ourselves. It is my passion as an artist to capture the mystery and pride in painted portraits of nature. The subjects are frogs, insects, crayfish, tadpoles, turtles, fish, birds and butterflies. I do mean that I love it all - their patterns, color and the symmetry. But what is more - is that in their strangeness they are remarkably romantic. They come in many shapes and expressions, some divine, however they are all creations of absolute poetry.

The groom's cake originated as a southern tradition where a special cake was made reflecting the groom's interests, hobbies, occupation or favorite sports team, etc. Normally, the groom has the responsibility of hosting the rehearsal dinner or rehearsal party. The groom's cake is usually served at the dinner / party. It later became acceptable to have both a groom's cake and a bride's cake served together (but on separate tables) at the wedding reception. These cakes can be of the same flavor or entirely different flavors. (ex: vanilla, chocolate, almond, or even red velvet)
Check out some of the groom's cakes I've made located in the Specialty Cakes Photo Slideshow.

07/02/2018 · All About Martin Luther King, Jr
The Central PointsMarch 19, 1965Martin Luther King Jr.'s third appearance on the cover of TIME accompanies a story about the protest in Selma, Ala., that became known as Bloody Sunday. King sought to protest Selma's racist voting laws by organizing marches throughout the city. The protests infuriated local authorities, and police violently attacked demonstrators, killing one with a bullet to the stomach and fracturing the skull of civil rights leader (and future Congressman) John Lewis. The article describes how police reprisals spurred the civil rights movement forward and forced President Lyndon B. Johnson to intervene. After meeting with George Wallace, Johnson publicly excoriated the governor, promising federal intervention in any state where local authorities are "unable to function."
After all, who would score an essay written about the great MLK lower?" (While I don't doubt the veracity of the sentiment, I doubt that any teacher would ever make a blanket statement advising students to use these two people for every single SAT essay prompt.) On a related point, another student told me about yet another SAT course that she'd taken that gave her the opposite advice: NEVER use Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Said in 1961: "Do you know …
Socialists do not believe that capitalism is inherently evil, or that it never should have been invented. On the contrary, if you took a socialist and sent them back to the time before the Industrial Revolution, they would no doubt support the establishment of the capitalist mode of production. Capitalism has unquestionably increased global production many times over, and increased the living standards of millions of people who used to work the fields for feudal landlords. But just like technological advancement moves ever onward, so must society continue to move forward, and socialists believe that capitalism is an outdated system. They do not believe that capitalism is the final mode of production, and that it has to be replaced by a superior system. Capitalism is politically, economically, and ecologically unsustainable. But that begs the question: What, specifically, is wrong with capitalism?
"An entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." —Tyler Durden, Fight Club (1999)Essentially, capitalism allows for anyone (that has sufficient capital) to create a business and produce anything they want, however they want, with no regard for democracy in the workplace, equal work participation (the owner does not have to work, just own the workplace), or indeed how the rest of society is doing. A capitalist (an owner of means of generating capital and a member of the , or "upper", class) does not have to care about whether or not what their business is producing is necessary for society. All a capitalist has to worry about is making a profit. This is why socialists view capitalism as, among other things, ecologically unsustainable; because the Earth has limited resources, and each country has limited space for a limited amount of factories. Under capitalism, these factories are used for anything and everything that can generate profit, not for necessities that society actually needs. This leads to people who live in poverty to be able to afford a smartphone, but not always be able to put food on the table. Capitalist society produces too much of what we don't need, and too litte of what we do need, because the capitalist system is based on profit for capitalists, not human needs.But capitalists don't decide it's time to stop making money once they reach a certain net worth. On the contrary, capitalists are never happy and continually seek to make as much money as possible. The problem with this is that money is merely a social construct with no inherent value. Money in itself is not worth anything, but instead it represents a value that exists somewhere. But this value is not infinite. Capitalists cannot keep making money forever, because eventually they will have taken all the value from the world and would have to start taking money from the poor. And yet this is exactly what has happened: The rich have become richer, and the poor have become poorer. The world's capital, the world's value, has accumulated among the 100-or-so richest individuals in the world, and this accumulation is still occurring. And this accumulation of capital will not simply seize, it will have to be stopped. One of capitalism's most famous critics, as well as one of socialism's founders, was Karl Marx. Through the years, Marx described various problems with capitalism. Below are just a few examples. Workers are paid little, whilst capitalists get rich.
Probably the most obvious problem that Marx had with capitalism is that the labourers, who do all the work, are paid very little, whereas the capitalists get rich. The method the capitalists use and have used since the dawn of capitalism is the method of primitive accumulation ("Urspüngliche Akkumulation"). The workers produce something for one price, and the capitalists sell it for a much higher one, whilst simultaneously shrinking the wages of the workers as much as possible, in order to maximise profits. The profit that capitalists make using the method of primitive accumulation is called the surplus value. According to Marx, this "profit" is simply , stolen by the capitalists from the hard-working labourers. Marx firmly believed that the workers have a right to the value that they produce, and that those who work with means of production should, alone, own those means of production. In other words, Marx believed that those who work in a workplace should collectively own and democratically decide how that workplace should be run. The only people allowed to be owners of something that can generate capital are those who actually generate that capital. Capitalism is alienating -
Marx understood that work can be the source of our greatest joy, but that capitalism has turned it into something we all detest. Everyone hates Mondays. Monday is the day we lose the freedom of the weekend to start working. But why do people hate Mondays? Why don't people enjoy their work? Essentially, modern work has us do one thing all day, but alienates us from what we believe we could ideally contribute to society. Someone who might want to write symphonies may have to work in a factory, because they need to earn money in order to afford food and housing. And on the other hand, some people who do work with what they feel contributes to society (teachers, for example) are paid very little to do so. Another problem that contributes to alienation is that modern work has become extremely specialised. Capitalists and factory owners don't want master craftsmen to produce the chairs in their furniture factory, they want to be able to hire almost anyone to produce one leg of one chair, and three other people to produce the other three legs, because then it's easy to fire and replace someone if there's a profit to be made, or production can increase with technological advancement. Ten people could be replaced by a computer and one engineer to maintain the computer, leaving 9 people unemployed, all for the sake of profit. Capitalism is very unstable.
From its very beginning, Capitalism is full of economic crises. Capitalists may dress up as these crises as "freakish" and "rare" and "soon to be the last one," but this is far from the truth, argued Marx, because capitalism is unstable by its very nature. Capitalism suffers from a crisis of abundance, rather than, as in the past, a crisis of shortage. Modern production is simply too effective. We produce too much: Much more than we could possibly consume. Modern work is so productive that we could give everyone on Earth a house, a car, enough food and water, as well as free access to a good school and a hospital. But, according to calculations by the World Food Program, there are over 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life. And according to the Global Campaign for Education, over 70 million people don't have access to education. If we were to only produce things we need, rather than, for example, 24 different brands of soap, very few of us would actually have to work, and we could ensure that the common person has what they need to survive. Once people have enough food and a place to live, we can start worrying about producing less essential things. When most people (in the western world, including North America and Europe) hear the word "socialism" they think of Scandinavian and Central European welfare states that have high taxes and different forms of social security nets. It is a common misconception that these countries are socialistic. The correct term to describe these countries is "social democracy", which is a revisionist form of socialism that does not advocate for a transition to the socialistic mode of production. These countries are by all accounts still capitalistic; they advocate for a reform of the current status quo, not a complete transition from capitalism to socialism. What socialism is, actually, is a political and economic theory of social organisation which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned and regulated by the community as a whole, rather than by private individuals. Socialists believe that have a right to "reap what they sow", i.e. that they have a right to the value that they produce, and that who do nothing but own businesses, factories, corporations, etc., do not have any right to steal value from the hard-working labourers. Socialism is inherently an anti-capitalistic ideology, and socialists believe that capitalism is an outdated system that has to be replaced, in order for the working class to achieve true freedom from oppression and exploitation. "Socialism" can also be used as an umbrella term, describing a collection of ideologies that advocate for the socialist mode of production. This includes but is not limited to: Most forms of socialism are based on, or are at least inspired by, Marxism.

One can never have too much of a good thing, or at least that is the feeling at the Villas of MariMack. The maintenance-provided golf community in Kearney is offering reasonably priced homes starting from the $180,000s.
One of the biggest draws to The Villas of MariMack is that they are traditional detached homes with very few of the challenges associated with home ownership. Additionally, Kearney property taxes are some of the lowest in the area, which makes living in the community very economical compared to other areas in Kansas City.
Exterior design features encompass low-maintenance vinyl siding with stone and stucco facades, decks, patios and in-ground sprinkler systems. The homeowners association operates the in-ground sprinkler system. It also pays for watering and lawn care during warm weather and snow removal in the winter.
Standard interior design elements in these luxury villas include custom-built cabinetry, wood floors, ceiling fans and gas fireplaces. The homes are also some of the first in the area to boast universal design concepts as standard features.
"These universal design concepts allow people to 'age in place,'" said marketing agent Brad Brown of RE/MAX Advantage "That is very important to many homebuyers today, particularly empty-nesters and retirees."
These features include wider doorways, zero (no-step) entries through the front door and garage, wheelchair accessible pantries and large, wheelchair-accessible tile showers in the master bathroom with no steps.
"These homes are designed so that homeowners will feel secure in the fact they will never need to move, unless they choose, should their accessibility needs change," Brown said. "These are very important aspects in finding a home truly designed to meet their needs, desires and lifestyles."
First Choice Custom Homes is offering a new version of its very popular Micha floor plan in The Villas of MariMack.
"This floor plan is very open and has a great kitchen," Brown said. "The builder has even moved the microwave to the lower cabinets to be sure it is always accessible."
Several versions of the Micha are currently under construction. One boasts a finished walkout basement, granite counter tops and numerous optional upgrades.
The Villas are reasonably priced ranging from the $180,000s to $240,000s.
Homebuyers seeking a traditional single-family home may opt for a home in the recently announced Estates of MariMack. The Porter Communities development will offer traditional single-family lots backing to the Club at MariMack golf course.
"These lots will have a great view of the course and most of them will accommodate a walkout basement," said Craig Porter of Porter Communities. "We expect to have these lots ready sometime in June but we are currently taking reservations for those wanting to get their choice before they are gone."
Located east of Interstate 35, The Villas and Estates of MariMack are only a short drive to nearby hospitals, major sporting complexes and shopping districts throughout the metropolitan area.
Kearney's small-town atmosphere allows residents to get to know their neighbors, but also provides a cornucopia of essential services that include restaurants, grocery stores, service stations, automotive repair and parts stores, doctor and dentist offices, banks, specialty shops and the award-winning Kearney School District.

Listed in Penny Stocks, Stock Picks, StockGuru.com, Day Trading, Best Stocks
TORONTO, April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ – Diversinet Corp. (TSXV: DIV), (OTCBB: DVNTF), a leader in "connected and protected" mobile healthcare communications,
reported its first quarter 2011 results for the period ended March 31,
2011. All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars.
Effective for the 2010 fiscal year, the company has adopted U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for the
presentation of its consolidated financial statements for Canadian and
U.S. reporting requirements, and in this release has restated
comparative historical periods accordingly.
Penny Stocks are stocks traded for under $2 and they represent the small cap companies. They trade on the OTCBB so you will not find them on the major stock exchanges. They are very cheap stocks and normally come for businesses needing capital. They are a very risky investment as the business can go under and leave you with a stock worth nothing. However that being said penny stock trading can be a great money maker, and there are numerous traders who make 6 figures and more from them each year.
The best reasons to trade in penny stocks are the fact that they do not require a large initial investment, meaning that they are an affordable investment for many. Penny stocks are cheap. For example if you were to buy 1000 shares in a company with shares at 10 cents, you would only require an investment of $100, whereas if the shares cost $5 you would require an investment of $5000. Penny stocks also have the potential of huge gains, and have been known to rise as much as 1000% daily. Therefore your $100 investment can be worth $1000. This is very unlikely to happen to other stocks from large cap businesses.

We're old fashioned butchers and not fitness/diet/medical experts. If you've been drawn to our nitrate/nitrite free web page you're probably knowledgeable enough on your reasons for landing here. Here's what we know at Fruit Pig:
Sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite are salts that are used in curing or preserving meat and fish. Sodium nitrate is also a naturally occurring mineral that exists in lots of green vegetables. Sodium nitrite is derived from sodium nitrate and is the compound that actually contains the antimicrobial properties (kills bad bacteria) that are desired in the production of our cured traditional bacons and hams. Besides their anti-bacterial properties, the presence of sodium nitrite also provides the characteristic pink colour to these meats.

I Have My Chance Now
I have always wanted to be able to hang my photographic art in a really cool, really exciting gallery. I have my chance now. I have been asked to participate in the beautiful Village Gallery in Fredericksburg, Texas. The wonderful thing is that there are so many accomplished artists participating. I feel very fortunate.
Now you might say, what is so great about a gallery in Fredericksburg, Texas? I think there are a couple of things that might surprise you. First, Fredericksburg is a great historical city that is gaining in popularity as a tourist destination. With new art galleries, two WWII military museums and beautiful Hill Country scenery, it makes for an ideal destination. Second, it is becoming a new art destination for Central Texas and for Texas in general. You might think that all the galleries only feature Western art or Hill country scenes. While there are beautiful examples of both, several new galleries, show very beautiful contemporary art from US and Mexican artists.
The Village Gallery and Working Artists' Studio is owned and managed by Debbie Magee. She and her family have a long history of supporting the arts and artists. Debbie has her own art and studio in the gallery. The Gallery is a co-op where each of us contributes time as a docent supporting one another. The Gallery is located on the West end of Main Street at number 211 and occupies a beautiful historical building.
Some of the other gallery participants display beautiful works of art. Karen Raidy has some absolutely lovely portraits in her portfolio. It isn't just that her art is photo realistic, it is magnificence.
Beth Hughes has her art right in front of the room I am in. Her part of the hallway at the gallery is gorgeous. She works mostly with oils and pastels. Some of her work from Tuscany just makes you want to gaze and be there.
My wall at the gallery includes nine of my photographs. I am the only photographer in the gallery and as several people mentioned during Art Walk, there doen't seem to be very many photographers displaying at the moment in Fredericksburg galleries. I tried to choose some of my most colorful and interesting pieces to display. On my Home Page you can click on the slide show and see the works I have displayed.

MBERENGWA – One of the most famous businessmen in Mberengwa and a member of the Mposi-Lemba royal family, Sheperd Tseisi is no more.
Tseisi who is popularly known as 'Chief' because he was an heir to the Lemba chieftainship was swept away by the flooded Mwenezi River when a canoe made from a tree bark which he boarded to cross from Chegato to Jeka Business Centre capsized as the tides rose.
The incident happened at 1pm on Saturday after the heavy floods had destroyed and swept away the Jeka - Tandavarai Bridge. Tseisi was swept away in the full view of villagers who were gathered on either side of the river.
As a businessman who had a shop at Jeka, Tseisi got into a canoe in order to cross the river and check the damage reported at his shop there. The canoe he boarded overturned midway across and he drowned while two other men who owned the canoe swarm to safety.
His body was found four hours later at a point five kilometres downstream.
Chief Potsai Mposi who is brother to Tseisi confirmed the tragic incident. Midlands Provincial Police spokesperson Inspector Joel Goko said they were yet to receive the report.
Tseisi had excellent public relations and as a result he was a loved man in Mberengwa District. He was employed as a registry officer at the birth certificates section at Mberengwa but was dismissed in 2002 after being accused of being sympathetic to the MDC T.
After his dismissal he started taking pictures and became a reputable photographer and then a successful businessman. He had wide social interactions and he was elected deputy secretary for Information and Publicity for the Lemba Cultural Association (LCA) and Information and Publicity secretary for Mposi Old Students Association.
LCA chairman Doctor Takavafira Zhou described Tseisi's death as a great loss to Mberengwa and the nation at large.
"We have been robbed of a brilliant man with a bright vision for the development of Mberengwa. You fought a worthy battle muzukuru and we will forever miss you. Go well Kwendakwenda Chamakofa, Mposi wamiseve, N'an'a, Musoni, Mwenye wangu Sadiki, Dumghwi raMposi. You have fought many battles to their logical conclusion, and your vision for the development of Mberengwa will be pursued without flinching, and so likewise will your quest for democratic change and egalitarianism," said a statement from Dr Zhou.
"It is a double disaster, losing a brother and the bridge at the same time. Villagers were at the site to witness the destruction of Jeka bridge by the floods and that is when Tseisi decided to cross through the aid of some villagers who were using a tree bark canoe. When they were midway the canoe was hit by a wave, the other two men managed to swim but he drowned and his body was swept downstream," said chief Mposi.
Tseisi is survived by a wife who is a teacher at Chegato High School, two daughters and a son. He was be buried at the royal family cemetery near Chegato Mission.local news

Lunenburg's 260th Anniversary
Lunenburg's 260 the Birthday Event
Settler's Day and Community Concert on Saturday June 8:
The heavy rain forced a change of venue for today's events. Instead of everyone gathering in a tent set up on the waterfront, all activities were moved to the united Church in Lunenburg.
The German-Canadian Cultural Association set up a display booth, decorated with their yellow banner and German and Canadian flags. They distributed gummies, German-Canadian pins and neckbands. Dr. Paul Huber, editor of "European Origins and Colonial Travails", was present to discuss his book, and explain how he and his wife Eva Huber traveled to all the villages and towns in Germany where the original settlers came from. Their many photographs and descriptions were used in the book, along with mention of many of the settlers' names.
Also for viewing was "Journal and Letters of Colonel Charles Lawrence", borrowed from the Lunenburg Heritage Society. The Colonel described to his Governor in Halifax the difficulties in organizing the settlement in Lunenburg.
The German-Canadian Cultural Association also had a display of maps, including one of Germany showing where the settlers came from, and the old town Lunenburg, with the "Diversions" in which the settlers got their new properties. The "Proclamation" of Agent John Dick in Rotterdam was also on display, showing the promises of what would await the settlers if they journeyed to Nova Scotia
The Program began with the announcement of the Town Crier of Lunenburg, then
Dieter Hintze read in German the German Settlers Day Act, Chapter 32, of the Acts of Nova Scotia 2001, as on June 7th is the "Settlers Day". MLA Pam Birdsall read the same in English and explained her heritage from Germany.
The Lunenburg Kinderchor received the neck bands and name tags for every child, from the German-Canadian Cultural Association, which they were wearing during their performance of two German and two Nova Scotia songs.
After the "Midlife Crisis" played for half an hour, the Mayor Rachel Bailley and Dieter Hintze presented the plaque for the best decorated window of the Lunenburg Businesses to the Himmelmann's Gift shop. The German-Canadian Cultural Association of Lunenburg County donated this plaque, which will be used for many years to come, plus and a single plaque for the winning business.
The previous Mayor of Lunenburg Dr. Lawrence Mawhinney honoured and presented prominent Lunenburgers.
A number of musical groups entertained for the rest of the afternoon.
The turnout of the visitors was quite good, although the weather influenced the event.
Those present from the German Canadian Cultural Association were:
Denton Conrad, David Baker, Doug Whynot, Kaye Countway, Jo and Albert Skinner, Bob Murphy, Dr. Paul Huber, Ursula Hintze-Brooke and Dieter Hintze

Factory accidents can change the lives of workers in an instant, often causing severe injuries that lead to significant recovery periods or, in the worst-case scenarios, death. Many workers who suffer on-the-job injuries are able to file for workers' compensation benefits in order to have their medical and related expenses covered. In addition to covering medical costs, workers' compensation can also help those who suffer factory accidents make ends meet while they are unable to perform the normal duties of their jobs.
One factory worker recently became the third to suffer severe burn injuries at a particular Wisconsin packaging mill in less than a year. Tragically, the two other men who were burned in a prior factory accident both succumbed to the wounds they suffered after being burned and killed by a byproduct created by burning coal. The man in the more recent incident was injured severely enough that he ultimately had to be flown to the University of Wisconsin Madison Hospital for treatment.
His injuries came about while he was working at the mill on an early Tuesday morning. Emergency personnel responded to the mill and first took the man to Ministry Sacred Heart Hospital before later air-lifting him to the University of Wisconsin Madison Hospital. Police officials were unable to release specific details concerning the incident leading up to the man's injuries. An Occupational Safety and Health Administration spokesperson did reveal that the organization was investigating the accident, but also said that it could be as long as six months before they are able to release any of their official findings.
Regardless of the specifics, there is little doubt that this man's life will be altered by the repercussions of this serious work accident. Burn injuries can be particularly painful and lead to a long period of recovery for accident victims. This is one reason why Wisconsin law requires most employers to carry workers' compensation insurance to assist those workers who are injured while performing the normal course of their duties. Workers who suffer such on-the-job injuries may wish to look into whether workers' compensation would be appropriate in their own cases.

Thanks all for support getting to the 3rd week.
Mornings are still absolute crap as I try to think of ways to change a routine I've had for 20 odd years but any day without smoking is a good day no matter what the challenges.
I wouldn't say that each day is better than the previous one but taking it a day at a time means I won 't allow myself to fall into the compare and contrast game, leading to self-pity and on to the 'sod it I'm having one' mind-set.
Happy Monday to you all.
