Trailer for Fixed Fluid Fragmented
How do you do something new when you've already made your own animated shorts, worked on features and TV shows,, and created comics, illustrated books, video games and toys? For the prolific and creatively restless Michel Gagné, the answer is Fixed Fluid Fragmented, a live performance piece that will debut at Vancouver's Roundhouse Performance Centre on June 25th. The project was developed in conjunction with composer Barry Guy who will be leading an improvisational music group alongside the animation.
Gagné's explanation of the idea sounds similar to VJing concepts albeit mixed with a filmmaker's sensibility. He writes: "I've been developing techniques and technology that will go way beyond playing a movie on a screen behind performing musicians. In fact, I will PLAY the animation as if I was playing a musical instrument. I will be creating the final images, live, on stage, interacting with the musicians in a way that, to my knowledge, has never been seen before."

MLB Team Report - Detroit Tigers - INSIDE PITCH
The Tigers have painted their bullpen into a corner and are now searching for a way to make that 20-foot leap to the doorway.
MLB Team Report - Detroit Tigers - INSIDE PITCH
The Tigers have painted their bullpen into a corner and are now searching for a way to make that 20-foot leap to the doorway.
Jose Valverde's latest of three blown saves this season came Wednesday and negated a 2-0 lead Justin Verlander had nursed through seven innings and Drew Smyly had taken into the ninth.
A two-run home run with one strike to go in the game erased the deficit for Kansas City and the Royals won in the 10th. Valverde has now given up five home runs this season, three in his last three outings, and that's two more than all of last year's regular season. He allowed five home runs in both 2010 and 2011.
In the wake of Valverde's post-season problems last autumn it has Detroit searching for answers that aren't going to be easy to come by.
The problems began with the decision to jettison Valverde after the World Series and anoint-without-anointing rookie Bruce Rondon, a 22-year-old with no major league experience, as the 2013 closer with no Plan B in place should he fail, which he did in Spring Training.
Like the crew of a sinking yacht, the Tigers grabbed onto the closest piece of floating debris they could find, which happened to be the re-signing of Valverde. He did well in a brief minor league trial and performed well over the first month of his return.
But teams have caught on. Valverde is using more split-fingers at the club's urging -- but too many of them are hangers as he's lost the control he had of the pitch two years ago. And if his fastball control is just a little bit off, which it too often is these days, he no longer has velocity consistently high enough to let him get away with fastballs in the middle of the strike zone.
Rondon is not the answer. Major league hitters can hammer his triple-digit heater unless he throws his secondary pitches for strikes, which he can't do yet. And there's no difference between Rondon and the Statue of Liberty when it comes to holding runners on; he's never had to work on it because he allows so few runners in the minors.
No other alternatives exist in the minors. Brayan Villarreal and Al Alburquerque were sent back to Toledo because of too many walks. They're still walking too many in the minors.
Trading for a closer won't be easy because teams will want prospects Detroit is not willing to part with -- Nick Castellanos and Avisail Garcia. It would not be surprising to see one or both with the Tigers in two months if the club continues to have problems scoring runs on the road.
The best current alternative if Detroit decides to part ways with Valverde, which may happen before the trade deadline, would be to shift Joaquin Benoit out of his comfortable setup role into the high-profile closer's role.
But that creates a problem of its own in that the Tigers would not have either a seventh- or eighth-inning specialist. Octavio Dotel has pitched just a handful of games because of a right elbow issue and counting on him to return now seems only slightly more probable than the Titanic coming up from the bottom of the Atlantic by itself.
Finding one or two veteran late-inning relievers will be considerably easier than getting held up for a short-term closer solution.
Makes you wonder if Detroit would like to revisit the decision not to offer a multi-year deal to one of the free agent closers on the market last winter.
MLB Team Report - Detroit Tigers - NOTES, QUOTES
STREAK: Lost one
NEXT: Tigers (Rick Porcello, 3-3, 4.86) at Twins (Scott Diamond, 4-5, 5.19)
--RHP Anibal Sanchez is penciled in for a Saturday start against the Twins. Sanchez missed his Sunday start against the Indians with tightness in his shoulder.
--RHP Rick Porcello, who starts Friday at Minnesota, is among the American League leaders with fewest walks per nine innings at 1.9. Porcello has walked only 13 in 63 innings, while striking out 54.
--RF Torii Hunter, who has played in 57 of the first 64 games, will get a rest this weekend. "Torii, I'm giving him off Saturday," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "He'll get tomorrow off because we're all off, then play Friday and get Saturday off, then be back out there Sunday, so he'll get two days (off), not consecutive. I usually like to tell guys a day or two before."
--OF Andy Dirks was held out of the lineup. "Dirks is going to get three days off," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "That's a good thing; his knees are a little sore. He's done OK in the leadoff spot. He's not an ideal leadoff hitter, but he's done fine. He's a fine player, doing a good job and he's probably glad he'll be out of the leadoff spot."
--CF Avisail Garcia, who turned 22 on Wednesday, batted leadoff for the first time since his May 13 call up. He led off the game with a double and scored a run. He is hitting .288 in 24 games.

More than half of all American households are at risk of not being able to maintain their current standard of living in retirement, according to the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College's National Retirement Risk Index (NRRI). The percentage of at-risk households rose from 44 percent in 2007 to 53 percent in 2010.
The primary causes for the deterioration are not surprising: falling investment and housing values since the recession, very low interest rates, and the planned transition in the age of eligibility for full Social Security benefits, from 65 to 67. (Raising the retirement age effectively reduces retirement incomes for people who retire at age 65 and claim Social Security.)
This is sobering stuff in a nation where 10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 every day, traditional pensions are disappearing, and 401(k) balances are disappointing. Oh, did I forget to mention the imminent fiscal cliff, which will put even more financial pressure on Social Security, Medicare, and other senior safety-net programs? No wonder virtually every retirement expert has been urging people to set aside more money for their later years.
Before declaring retirement defeat and retreating to our respective caves, however, it's important to understand exactly what this national retirement risk measure means and whether it actually applies to your situation. When the Center says 53 percent of American households face retirement risk, what it means is probably much different than what you think.
[See 10 Places Where Retiree Income Has Declined the Most.]
The Center calculates a household's preretirement earnings, then estimates its retirement income. It looks at the percentage of income that will be replaced in retirement and compares this with a target replacement rate that the Center has determined would be sufficient to maintain the same standard of living in retirement. People generally don't need to earn as much money in retirement as during their working years, so the target replacement rate for all households is roughly three-fourths of their preretirement earnings.
The index measures the percentage of American households whose projected income-replacement rates fall more than 10 percentage points below their target rates. It's the center's professional opinion that this large of a gap places the household at risk of not being able to maintain its preretirement standard of living.
Figuring out preretirement household earnings is fairly straightforward. The Center relies on the Federal Reserve's extensive Survey of Consumer Finances, which is done every three years. The 2010 survey was released earlier this year, so it's the most recent set of authoritative numbers.
[Read: 12 Ways to Increase Your Social Security Payments.]
Projecting household incomes in retirement involves some assumptions that are not so obvious. The Center looks at household financial assets and assumes they are all converted into an annuity as soon as the people in the household turn 65 years of age. If the household owns a home, it's assumed this asset is turned into retirement income by taking out a reverse mortgage. The amount of income generated by these assets is then added to any pension and Social Security payments to produce an overall figure for household income at age 65.
What the Center is really measuring is potential retirement income, assuming everyone retires at 65 and, in effect, annuitizes all their assets. Real people don't do this, which the experts at the Center know. But for research purposes, researchers need to make certain assumptions to develop a useful snapshot of the nation's retirement situation.
Real people retire both earlier and later than their 65th birthdays. They invest in all sorts of things, some of which return more profits than an annuity, and some of which don't. People also continue working during their retirement years, yet such earnings are not counted in the Center's measure of retirement income. Surely, this single factor might substantially lower that 53 percent NRRI reading.
[Read: 20 Practical Ways Seniors Can Cut Expenses.]
Most of all, people look for different ways to spend money and live their lives to adjust to their realistic levels of retirement income. The Center's target income-replacement levels were developed more than six years ago and haven't been changed since then. We've seen enormous shifts in spending patterns since the recession. Some of these shifts may well have resulted in declines in living standards, but there are clearly spending cuts that don't harm living standards.
The Center assumed in a 2006 report that single-person households in the top third of income groups needed to replace 65 percent of their preretirement incomes to maintain their living standards in retirement. The other 35 percent of their preretirement incomes were spent on higher taxes, retirement savings, and work expenses that could be trimmed in retirement without hurting their standard of living.
Lower-income households needed to replace higher percentages of their preretirement incomes to maintain their living standards in retirement. That's because they have fewer reduced spending needs in retirement. They didn't earn enough while working to save much money for retirement, and did not pay higher tax rates that would be reduced once they stopped working. Couples with a single earner in the bottom third of all income groups, for example, needed the largest amount of preretirement earnings to maintain their living standards in retirement: 85 percent.

Lately, I have seen many articles extolling the consumption of mushrooms due to its many nutritional benefits (such as this one:)
Then I read someone suggested adding raw mushroom to fruit smoothies. OK I know that would be great, nutirionwise but how would that affect taste? Anyway, I started adding a few white mushrooms to my smoothies and it turns out that mushrooms, being rather neutral in taste, don't really add or detract at all, to the taste of the smoothie. So, if on hand, I always add at least a couple mushrooms to my smoothie.

West Bromwich Albion's Swedish defender Jonas Olsson says their clash with England will be massive back home.
He knows that the scrutiny will be even greater in what is a "special game" for Sweden at Wembley.
Olsson told the Telegraph: "English football is massive in Sweden. They started showing English football in the Seventies and every Saturday you would tune in and watch it on telly. You could even say English football is bigger than the domestic league - my friends all support teams in Sweden but they are more passionate about the team they support in England. For me it has always been a dream to play at Wembley."

I enjoyed reading your opinion in the newspaper, and I appreciate your openmindedness.
I have been travelling the Alaska Marine Highway since 1972. I lived in Alaska several years ago, and still visit family there. I would like to mention two important points. The transportation plan of 2004 that you mentioned, was a product of the Murkowski administration, and is therefore suspect of being biased toward political contributors, i.e. road construction companies.
Secondly, no road plan that involves travelling through Canada has my support, because of their attitude towards individual freedoms guaranteed by our constitution.
So, I wholeheartedly support updating the fleet of the Marine Highway, especially now while the state has the means to pay for it, which it may not always have.

Without logs I´m just guessing that he would benefit from reforging a bit to mastery
Thanks you two for your input. I considered your opinions regarding crit/mastery balance, gonna try see if it will be noticeable next reset.
Hey all , just recently i boosted a Druid and im running Balance .
My question is about the moonfire and sunfire dots. I have the addon Aff. Dots Balance . where it shows the numbers on your dots . I was wondering once you apply your dots , should you refresh them like midway you eclipse state if you dots gets buffed by procs and such or just worry about spamming to get to the other eclipse state to follow . ? i know my natures grace is not being up as much as it should be . Thats something im working on atm . I see some Druids in LFR with slighly lower gear than i am and do more dps than i do . So i know there something i need to improve on .
I dont have a WLogs atm but il try to get one in the upcoming LFR's . Im not pulling over 150K DPS on most fight . At the begining when i pop all my cd's i go over 200k but once those are gone my dps drops . Any help and advice will be very helpfull . Thanks
Hey guys and gals, so i'm trying really hard to min max my boomkin play and i'm not sure what else I can do single target to increase my dmg. If you guys don't mind glancing over this log I would appreciate whatever feedback you have!
Log : /reports/JfWzBHcw9yZMNDkF#fight=10 (its a warcraftlogs so just type that before it)
Armory : Drpaws - <Conviction> - Korgath
Hi there, I'm a very unlucky moonkin when talking about the Immersus trinket. I spent more than 30 warforged seals on that boss and only got that useless cloak.
I have the LFR version of that trinket, heroic Toxc Totem and the warforged version of the malkorok trinket.
Askmrrobot states that the LFR trinket from immersus is better than the warforged trinket from malkorok. Is that right?
My armory: [email protected]
Hey, all.
Horrible Druid here seeking some help.
Here's my armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../Emmert/simple
I posted in the official WoW Druid forums the other day. I got a great reply that gave me advice to try to use more shooting star procs. Since then, I've believe I've gotten better, but my number still aren't where I want them to be. I just think my DoT management is horrible. I've been trying only apply dots when there are multiple targets if it's the eclipsed DoT and NG is up. I've heard conflicting reports on what I should be doing though. Unfortunately, I just think my instincts are horrible when it comes to multidotting. Anyway, here are some logs from LFR that may give more information:
Saw in an earlier post that Glurp mentioned that during the opner you should re-dot as the meta gem and the shamans proc wear off in single target. Does this also apply for multi target?
Furthermore, should we be redotting again just before Incarnation (as well as any leftover procs) wear off, even if it means over writing the couple of seconds left of the Meta + all Procs CA Dots?
Hey guys, I can't for the life of me figure out how to do decent damage on protectors 25 hc( and some others but let's start with this ) .
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...e/?s=607&e=962 <- Logs from our kill . I did 510k, which is pretty bad considering ranked limit is somewhere around 650k for the top 150, and my gear is decent (I THINK ) . http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../Nalorn/simple
Other than that... it's all about dot uptime. Save your second set of cooldowns, since you'll only get two, for either trinket procs, or during dark meditation or rooks split for max multidotting.
I apologise for posting it again, apparently it was in the wrong thread:
I've some questions about Moonkin-DPS:
- Refreshing dots. I've read a lot about it, but I'm still not sure when to receive the best results, esp as there are so many opinions. I switched from TMW to AffDots for the tracking and began to refresh them when it's >150 (blue), however the result seems to be better if you just go with "refresh right before the last tick" or slightly delay if an eclipse is coming. My uptime of the dots is pretty high (usually 97-98%), but my question is: do you clip early at all or not. And if you clip, only with all trinkets and shit up or also if it's a minor improvement (lets say, using AffDots?). I'm not talking about encounter-specific buffs like the [email protected]'rokh
- AoE-situations, lets say Galakras or [email protected] Whats the best viable way here? I'm currently spamming eclipsed dot + using SS procs, on Shaman i try to pre-cast my mushroom when i'm moving and don't need to refresh my dots, other than that I use hurricane here. My dps on adds is very low tho. I just feel sucky here?
- Stuff like HCc scenarios, lets say the one where you are a goblin. The adds are dying quickly, and every hunter/mage can pop insane amounts in a short time. Same here: spamming eclipsed dot + ss-procs?
I'm using Frenzied+Kardris atm with 4set cse I still miss Immerseus trinket. I switched to that offspec ~3 weeks ago, I've never seriously tried Moonkin, however I'm playing Feral, Guardian and Resto (main) since early TBC and currently sitting @14/14 HC (clear in February on 10- and 25-man). I got the 10k haste BP and roughly ~12.5k crit, but way too much mastery due to the wrong gear-pieces atm. I expect the theory is not the issue, my openers and single-target damage is pretty much 'fine'. I love the burst and it's the first time I'm enjoying that spec at all.
I just feel *very* uncomfortable when adds spawn and how to get good DPS on several targets. Esp. fights like Protectors, Nazgrim or Spoils are my worst nightmare, while Juggernaut, Malkorok and Klaxxi are cool. Is it all about the question "how long will that add live"? Like, dot everything (eclipsed first, then non-eclipsed) that will live >15s and make use of SS and THEN cast wrath/starfire? I've read EJ and everything I could find, but still looking for some hints. Since I couldn't play my Offspec in our Mainraid, I can't provide any serious logs at the moment.
It's better to burn out than to fade away.
Hey guys. I just came back to wow after a 4 month break from it and I want to get better dps on my balance druid. Currently, my ilvl is only 510 (I know it's really low) and I am only doing around 75k but 120k in my opening burst on a target dummy. I think my rotation is correct, it's the one from Icy-veins. The worst part is that currently I'm only in LFR and I'm afrad I'll get kicked just because my dps is so crappy for the most part.
I am still using a blue staff with an ilvl of 463 -_- since getting a dagger/mace/staff/whatever with an ilvl of 528 is impossible.
My hit is capped, I am reforging to crit - mastery (since my haste is 5.3k) and lastly haste.
One quick question - Should I never use starsurge unless it's an instant cast? And also: After I'm done with the rotation and used my incarnation and celestial alignment, should I just go back to the same rotation but without the cooldowns?
I appreciate all the help!
So sorry for reposting this, kinda posted it in the wrong thread last night..
So I just came back to WoW after a 2.5 year break and basically got offered a Raiding spot with a guild as moonkin (ive only ever played resto) and they would gear me up over a few weeks time.. so im sitting at 567ilvl
Now im still getting used to not clipping dots and the optimal point of refreshing them. But im running my current setup through SimCraft and its saying on a training dummy I should be doing about 232k Unbuffed,I'm only doing about 215k over 6 minutes with flask/MoTw/300 Food.
I havent had a chance to parse a raid yet.. And Dont have much to compare it to as Ive only been raiding for 2 weeks and I started at 496 iLvl and im now at 567... Are my numbers adequate just on the training dummy?
I feel like im lower than I should be...
I am working on the cloak/meta and the trinket off Immerseus as well. Any and all help is appreciated.
Think i post this in the wrong place the first time.
Hey guys had a few quick questions about Moonkin after coming back to the game 2 weeks ago.
I know refreshing dots is very complicated and there is no simple answer but assuming that nature's grace is the only buff that is active, is it worth overriding an uneclipsed dot when hitting an eclipse or letting both dots run their course before refreshing?
Also back in 5.1 it was only worth using starsurge once during solar eclipse because it would allow you to then cast another wrath before exiting said eclipse but now it seems that our class has almost become "Hit this shinny button when it lights up" so I was wondering if someone could give me an advanced response that adequately describes when starsurge would NOT be worth using. (The trinkets to account for are KTT and Bindings).
Lastly, I've heard that we received a shooting stars proc nerf when multidotting. Now I know multidotting is not a single target dps gain but in terms of "meterpadding" does dotting work as followed?
1 target: both dots
2 targets: both dots on each or both dots on main target and eclipsed dot on the 2nd target?
3 targets: both dots on main target, eclipsed dot on the other targets.
so on so forth until it becomes worth using hurricane which is roughly around 5-6 adds?
Thank you very much for reading this and I await your responses. Please try not to give a generalized answer but rather a more complete/advanced response.
Hey Everyone,
on most bosses my dps is quite ok, but on garrosh (10 heroic) I have problems keeping it up (I'll have to admit, that I'm resto mainspec).
I save inc+ca for intermission, and DPS there is quite good there, around 10m on adds. I usually use hotw or tranq on the aoe there. So I know dps is low on P1 and on boss in intermission.
But on P2/P3 I should do good dps, but instead it's very low, somebody has some tips for me? Something I can improve?
This is a link on a garrosh try, just P2: http://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/...ase=3&fight=21
Thanks in advance.

The Encounter
by Norman Ray Fitts
No critic rating
Waiting for minimum critic reviews
A large Galactic Empire, for centuries, has known of out existence. We were of little interest to them until something happened in Earth's solar system to attract them back. A small tear in the fabric of space formed a portal to the past. They used this natural phenomenon to observe, but never interact with Earth through time. Now another species is looking at Earth to establish a foothold along the Empire's frontier. When this species invades they kill, or enslave, the entire native population. Because of their long distant, but somewhat personal attachment to human kind, and because of the existence of the only other known portal, the Chancellor of the Empire has sent his daughter to coordinate the events required to make contact, or to evacuate their people from a world about to be caught in the middle of a major intergalactic conflict. While waiting for a decision from the Council she request and is granted permission to mix with the human population. As with all heads of state, her father has enemies. Circumstance brings her and a human named Lawrence Casey together, and plunges them into Earth's past just ahead of a band of mercenaries sent to deliver her to her father's enemies. The year is eighteen seventy-five. The place is Wyoming. Our time travelers, aboard a crippled ship, land in the middle of a range war between the mountain and valley ranchers. Taking sides sets in motion future events that lead to the destruction of a third of Earth's population. Help is on the way with the knowledge that could restore Earth's timeline. There is a chance to fix it if they can avoid capture by the mercenaries or death at the hands of the valley ranchers. This action/adventure storyline blends science fiction, with the feel of a good western, and a story of discovery between two very, very different people. ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /

Drifted Apart, To Meet Here - Steamer and Her Consort Had Thrilling Trip Down Lake. - The Schooner HOLMES Broke Away From the Steamer GOWNE, Near Port Dalhousie Monday Night and Both Made This Port Early Last Evening - Canvas of Schooner Carried Away.
Driven apart in a heavy gale just outside Port Dalhousie early Monday night and swept the entire length of Lake Ontario by the mountainous seas and gale, the upper lake steamer ALBERT Y. GOWNE and her consort, the schooner H.A. HOLMES, of St. Clair, Michigan, loomed up on the horizon off this port late yesterday afternoon, and almost simultaneously, each coming from an opposite direction.
The schooner was stripped down to her bare spars and was sailing under two small jibs, the heavy canvas having been swept away in the storm of the night before. She was tossed and buffeted about by the heavy sea as she battled to make this port. Down to the East, off Mexico Bay, a small steamer was visible fighting her way through the sea, while a heavy volume of black smoke was rolling down from her funnel. The hundred or more spectators in the vicinity of the Coast Guard station and along the fort and under the harbor bank little dreamed that these boats had any connection.
They did not know that they had been swept apart a hundred or more miles from here to come together again seeking refuge in the same port. The boats left Port Dalhousie at ten o'clock Monday night on the final lap of a lake journey to Kingston, Ontario, from whence they were go to Havana, Cuba, to be used in the coastwise trade. The HOLMES was in tow of the barge and when about an hour out of Port Dalhousie the gale set in and the line soon parted in the heavy seas. Several futile attempts were made to get a line to the schooner, but they soon separated in the darkness.
Each skipper saw the uselessness of trying to turn around and buck the storm back into Port Dalhousie, so they rode the gale down the lake, each testifying upon their arrival in port last night that in all their upper lake experienced they had never combated a worse storm. When daylight came Tuesday morning the schooner was in sight of the Canadian shore, but the wind shifted and the disabled craft was swept out into the lake. The wind was then from a northerly quarter and the schooner was blown in the direction of this port. A gasoline pump, with which the schooner was equipped, kept the vessel afloat. The big seas broke over her. The steamer GOWNE, after running in the storm to this end of the lake, turned around and started in search of her missing consort. They looked around the Galloup islands, down in Mexico Bay and were continuing their search in the lee of the storm, when they came on to the missing vessel off this port last night.
The schooner was discovered far out in the lake straight off this port about three o'clock yesterday afternoon by the lookout at the United States Coast Guard station. Although a heavy sea was running Captain Clemens launched the surfboat and started out to give assistance. The bare spars led him to believe that the vessel was in distress. After an hour or more battling with the sea the surfboat pulled alongside of the rolling schooner. Captain Clemens made out an old man and a boy at the wheel. Through the megaphone Captain Clemens shouted above the gale, "Who are you?"
"A stranger, sir, the H.A. HOLMES, upper lakes," was the bellowed reply of the schooner man. "Do you want assistance," shouted back the Coast Guardsman. "No, we're weathering it all right, how's the shelter in there?"
"The shelter is good, but you had better spread more canvas or you¹ll land down the coast," advised the Coast Guardsman through the megaphone.
"Can¹t spread when you haven't got it," was the quick response of the skipper.
"Are you taking in much water," queried Captain Clemens.
"No, sir, we¹ve a fine gasoline pump."
The surfboat was being washed far to the east of the schooner and they were soon out of
speaking distance. In the meantime the reserve Coast Guardsmen on the shore had their glasses trained on the steamer. About five o'clock three distinct flashes of light appeared from out of the forecast of the GOWNE. Men on the D.L. & W. trestle were positive that they were rockets. The lookout, who had been watching the boat for some time, however, made them out to be the reflection of the setting sun on the cabin windows.
The surfboat, in the meantime, was skimming through the seas. She was awash, but she plowed right along. Upon entering the river Captain Clemens signaled the tug SQUAW and asked Captain Patrick Tivnan if he would lay by for the schooner and he said he would. About seven o'clock the GOWNE rolling and tossing and with a heavy sea striking her broadside, made the river and fifteen minutes later the schooner rode into the mouth of the river and before the tug could get a line to her she struck up against the east pier, breaking a portion of that structure. Finally, she was docked at the New York, Ontario & Western trestle. Captain Clifford Thall, of the HOLMES and his crew were taken aboard another ship and given a warm supper and dry clothes. The crew was exhausted after the twenty-hour battle with the elements. Captain Thall said that his foresail was blown away and that the heavy seas carried away their yawl.
The cargoes of both boats are consigned to the Kingston Penitentiary. They each carry about 350 tons. After they were unloaded at Kingston they will start for the salt water. The steamer had searched all day yesterday for the schooner and was about to abandon the schooner when they came together off this port.

A solid old-school wrestling game has been a long time coming and now it might finally be here. Fans should be sceptical however, with previous attempts at recreating the magic of old school WWE resulting in Acclaim's abysmal Legends of Wrestling titles. Fortunately THQ and Yuke's have set out to do it right, and have succeeded - to a point.
Initially, Legends of WrestleMania feels very nostalgic; a bunch of classic superstars facing off once again, even deceased stars like Andre the Giant, Mr. Perfect and Big Bossman are back to face off with other fan favourites on hand including Million-Dollar Man, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Hulk Hogan.
Unfortunately, a few classic - top ranking - wrestlers and tag teams such as "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Demolition didn't make the cut. A plausible reason for the exclusion of Randy Savage might be that there aren't any divas, which would have been essential for him as his manager was Sensational Sherri.
The lack of divas is strange in itself; not only for the fact that they had female wrestlers back then, but because they included female outfits in the create a superstar feature - even though you can't create a diva - as if to promote transvestism.
One of the more interesting features of Legends of WrestleMania is you can import some superstars from Smackdown! Vs. Raw 2009 if you have it on the same console. Unfortunately DLC wrestlers and divas aren't included - any hopes of a Father/Son DiBiase team are immediately dashed. Overall the feature seems under-polished and completely throws off the gameplay balance - you know there's something wrong when Tazz can perform a German Suplex on Andre the Giant.
Legends of WrestleMania sports most of the match types seen in SvR, minus a few notables such as Last Man Standing, Champer Elimination, and Bra and Panties.
Here's a rundown of the match types:
Single Match
Steel Cage Match
Ladder Match
Hell in a Cell
Ironman Match
Submission Match
Tag Team Match
Triple Threat Match
Battle Royal
Handicap Match
Royal Rumble
A nice selection, although the Battle Royal and Royal Rumbles are very unforgiving when you get caught up at the ropes and have two wrestlers trying to shove you out – it often means a guaranteed elimination.
Yuke's have taken a few steps back from the dual-analogue controls of SvR, to a simpler - more beginner friendly - control scheme of just four buttons: action, strike, grapple and block. Although having a single button for block is a welcome addition, the shoulder buttons go to waste and finishers are reduced to a quick time event. This also applies to the SvR imports and don't feel as interactive as the Smackdown vs. Raw signature moves – every finisher including the top role moves are triggered from a standing position.
Due to the simple controls, the moves have been split up by a three level momentum bar. As you pound away at your opponent your momentum bar charges; at level one you can perform weak moves and strikes; at level two some of the stronger moves become available; and at level three you can finish the job with the strongest moves and a finisher. Unfortunately it takes far too long for the momentum gauge to fill and odds are the match is over before it gets to level three.
Visually, the legends on hand look more like action figures of their real life counterparts. This style goes well the simple control scheme giving it the look and feel of an arcade title. There a few gripes to be had though; most of the back fans are made of low resolution sprites and when the camera pans out you get a face full of pixels.
The guts of Legends of Wrestling are in the two big game modes: Legend Killer and WrestleMania Tour Mode. Legend Killer is made up for six tournament games. The first three consist of the legend tiers, after that the most played wrestlers take you on in Favourite Legend tier, the next tier puts you against every legend over 38 matches and the final tier is against 10 imported SvR Superstars.
WrestleMania Tour Mode consists of Relive, Rewrite and Redefine. All three have goals to meet in each match for points, although it isn't necessary to any of the goals. The matches are accompanied by a little teaser video – the videos are also viewable in the Movie Theatre mode. They revolve around classic WrestleMania matches and are the most nostalgic modes.
Overall it is hard to recommend for Smackdown! Vs. Raw fans under the age of 27; short of The Rock, HHH, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold, and Hulk Hogan, most of these wrestlers have been dead or out of the spotlight for years. For anyone with a taste for some classic WWF you can't get any better than this – game wise, anyway.

'Awh sh*t!': The best WTF moments from Oscar history
The 86th Academy Awards, or Oscars as everyone calls them, kick off this Sunday and while we can expect plenty of jibes and jiving from host Ellen DeGeneres and a wealth of emotional speeches from the winners, that's not what we're looking forward to most from this years ceremony.
No, the thing we're looking forward to most are the clusterf*cks that are bound to happen in one way or another. The losing nominees caught on camera at the wrong moment, someone taking to the stage and getting the wear with a genuine Hollywood superstar and people making a nuisance of themselves in general.
So in our looking forward to 2014's golden moment, here's some of the best moments from Oscars past, in no particular order.
Jennifer Lawrence's middle finger moment after winning Best Actress
We'll start with our most recent favourite moment. Post her win and subsequent fall last year, J.Law tumbled into the press room and supposedly flipped off a family member who was heckling her for posing, which was subsequently caught on camera because, you know, it's the press room. Anyway, following that she gave the best press speech in recent Oscar memory due to her being overwhelmed and a tiny bit inebriated.
James Franco and Anne Hathaway's diabolically bad Oscar hosting
Franco and Hathaway hosting the ceremony in 2011, and while both were and are still big Hollywood players, instead of the Academy giving the stale ceremony a new lease on life, what they got was a very bored and non-present Franco and an over-eager and possibly overcompensating Hathaway. And it was very, very painful.
Marlon Brando snubs Oscars by sending Native American to refuse award for him
When Marlon Brando finally won an Oscar in 1973 for his performance in "The Godfather", some would thought that he'd put aside his oddball behaviour and behave himself for once. No such luck though, as Brando sent a Native American activist by the name of Sacheen Littlefeather to refuse the award on his behalf with a 15-page statement on why he wouldn't be accepting the award. This, as you can imagine, was the last year that the Academy allowed anyone other than an award's presenter to accept for a winner.
The absolute shambles that was the opening number of the 1989 Awards
How many Oscar performances have resulted in legal action from Disney, complaints from Hollywood greats such as Paul Newman and Julie Andrews, and feature Rob Lowe singing with Snow White? Just this one mess of an opening number for the 1989 Academy Awards. Poor Lily Tomlin didn't stand a chance. This is 11 minutes and 41 seconds of your life you'll never get back.
Seth MacFarlane reducing half the worlds population to one single bodypart
What more did you expect from the creator of Family Guy, American Dad and Ted? There was uproar after MacFarlane decided to use one of his breaks in the 2013 ceremony to focus on actresses who have and haven't exposed their breasts onscreen via song, reminding everyone just how sexist the movie industry still is.
The creators of South Park arriving dressed as Gwyneth Paltrow and J.Lo
When Trey Parker and Matt Stone arrived at the 2000 Oscars, having been nominated for their song in "South Park: The Movie" dressed as iconic actresses from the previous year, it was a pretty blatant middle finger to the Academy and showbiz industry in general. But what you may not have known is that they were also tripping balls at the time, having taken LSD en route to the ceremony itself. Watch the below for their brilliant account of the evening.
Samuel L. Jackson caught being a sore loser on camera
When Martin Landau pipped Samuel L. Jackson to the post for Best Supporting Actor in 1995, Jackson forgot the golden rule of awards ceremonies. You are always on camera. Always. And as such got caught cursing his loss. Keep your eyes on his window below for the golden moment.
Adrien Brody celebrating his Oscar win with Halle Berry's face
Some may think Brody an idiot, but in his defence, when was he ever likely to get an opportunity like this ever again? Plus Berry didn't seem to mind too much now did she?
The Oscar Streaker, and David Niven's brilliant response
Only a Brit could follow such an unexpected display with such a calm face and withering putdown. And to that, we tip our hat.
Stick with us this Sunday and Monday for all your Oscar 2014 coverage. We'll be live tweeting the awards as they happen over on @entertainmentIE, and will be your first port of call for all the winners and red carpet action come March 3rd.

text: OKay now that I have decided to make the jump backwards... It is really between the rollie and yashica twin lens but I want to test the format to be sure it is worth the effort..... sooo.... The best test camera I can find so far is the revere eyematic 127. Its a fifties type auto aperture but it has a wallensak lens and a rangefinger. Looks like even a way to fool the meter for a little more exposure. Since it has a tripod socket, I assume there is a way to jury rig it to do bulb. With the polaroids I play with it is just put some tape over the sensor. All that being said, has anyone ever heard of this camera. If so what have you heard. I saw some things on google and some pictures made with it and they look okay nothing to brag about but okay.


text: most my reccomendations are based on comfort, while the single 1.1 will hold one weight, it start to stretch quite a bit over 150 or so, causing less flatness and more shoulder squeeze. if you're in the 150-200 range and want a single, the single 1.7 will stretch considerably less for a relativly small weight penalty. the double 1.1 will stretch even less than the single 1.7 and has the pad pocket option

Bullet ridden skins
of a tiger and a Giant Malabar squirrel were seized
by the Special Task Force (STF) of the Tamil Nadu Police
on 28 July 2004, in the Nilgiri North Forest Division.
According to preliminary reports received by Wildlife
Protection Society of India (WPSI), the STF carried
out the seizure in the Segur Range of the Nilgiri North
Forest Division. Two persons belonging to the Theni
district of Tamil Nadu were arrested with a gun and
an axe, while two others managed to escape carrying
another gun. Initial investigations have revealed that
the gang entered the forest to kill a tusker, but opportunistically
killed the first tiger they saw.
The case has now been handed over to the Forest Department
and the accused have been sent to 15 days judicial custody.
WPSI is assisting the enforcement authorities to file
a case against the poachers.
Recently, there have been disturbing reports about rising
incidents of poaching in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve,
and this incident underscores the fact that some of
our most important forests still face a severe poaching

Pfizer Inc. Spinoff No Need for Worry in Groton, Conn.: Analyst
Published: Jan 16, 2013
A news report Tuesday that Pfizer Inc. could be split into two companies in the next few years shouldn't necessarily concern scientists at the company's laboratories in Groton, according to a health care firm analyst. Les Funtleyder, president of the investment advisory division of New York-based Poliwogg Inc., said a report by Bloomberg news service that sparked speculation Pfizer might soon cut itself in two is largely conjecture. New York-based Pfizer still has to finalize its already announced animal-health spinoff and other issues before tackling a possible move to split its new-medicines operations from its generics portfolio, a process that would take well over a year, he said. But Funtleyder said any spinoff that eventually occurs would likely be a good thing for Pfizer's R&D scientists. Pfizer employs about 3,500 people in the region. "It probably wouldn't mean a change as far as employment," Funtleyder said. "It could mean more focus on R&D." Bloomberg reported Tuesday that Geno Germano, Pfizer's president of specialty care and oncology, said in an interview that the company's four business divisions would probably be whittled down to two at some point, representing so-called "innovative business" (R&D for new products) and "value business" (generics). "We really see the business segmenting into these two segments with pretty different capabilities, and we would want to organize in a way that we realize the most value for shareholders," Germano told Bloomberg. Germano didn't specifically say Pfizer was preparing to spin off one of its core businesses, but analysts already had been speculating that a split might be in the cards, and Germano's comments fueled further speculation.

Yesterday (December 6) was the 76th birthday of a composer who wrote one symphony that was so successful it stunned the classical music business. Its success has never been equaled. All of his other works remain mostly unknown. He started as an avant-garde writer of dissonant works, but changed his style to religiously inspired minimalism when he wrote this work.
He was born in southern Poland in 1933 and still lives there. Until 1992 he was virtually unknown outside a small circle of new-music fans. But in that year Soprano Dawn Upshaw (Upshaw is appearing with the San Antonio Symphony in May) and Conductor David Zinman recorded his third symphony that was written in 1976. That recording sold over 1 million copies! Now that doesn't sound like much if you consider Michael Jackson's Thriller sales, but for a contemporary symphony it is amazing. Five thousand copies sold would have been a surprising success!
The success is even more astounding when you describe the symphony. It lasts 54 minutes and all three movements are mostly soft and slow. The texts for the soprano are in Polish. The first movement is a 15th-century Polish lament of Mary. The next text was a message written on the wall of a Gestapo cell during World War II, and the third is a folk song telling of a mother searching for son killed in the Silesian uprisings of 1919. The music uses harmony inspired by medieval music. It is mournful and without many dramatic climaxes. Despite its enormous success as a CD, live performances have not been so common and often are not so successful at selling tickets.
I remember when I first got the CD of this piece. I was so stunned that I listened to it twice without a break. So happy birthday Henryk Miko?aj Górecki. We salute you and your amazing Symphony No. 3, Symphony of Sorrowful Songs.
This video includes part of the second movement choreographed with paintings of El Greco and Egon Schiele.

The origin of the name "Nickelback"
There's such hype about the pride Chad and the band members have in the band, and how deep the lyrics are, and how awesome at life their fans are, but, did you ever stop and ask yourself, "Why, self, do I think they chose the name 'Nickelback' for such an incredibly awesome [at sucking] rock band?"
The answer lies with Starbucks. That's right, Starbucks. The frilled-up coffee place.
Turns out Mike Kroeger used to work at Starbucks serving what were no doubt some of the deepest, most thoughtful lattes this side of France. (Mike, by the way, for those of you who have too much of a life to care about these things, is the half brother of Chad Kroeger and bass player for this talented menagerie.) While working at Starbucks, Mike found that he would often have to provide the customer with 5 Canadian cents in change. 5 Canadian cents, when placed into one coin, is also called a nickel. (Similar to the US but at 70% of the value.) Apparently, during this transaction, he would frequently find himself saying "Here's your nickel back."
Long story short: Mike served crappy, over-priced coffee, gave people nickels, formed a crappy band and should now technically owe Starbucks all sorts of royalties. Thank God he didn't have to give people some sort of other change back or ever say anything else to any customers on a routine basis, like "Here's your penny back," or "Here's your receipt ma'am." Those would have been horrible band names.

As someone who was marooned in Cananda for twenty years and have seen so many shoddy Canadian products, "bands" and other entertainment, exalted by Canadian (it's like spelling banana) media and biased arrogants simply because they were Canadian, not ofcourse, you know, because they were ANY GOOD, I have to mention that I thought it was because on the back of a Canadian five-cent coin is a beaver, which is also means a pussy

Well, very few, if any, Americans would know the following, as they are completely ignorant of anything that outside of their cynically-named and self-absorbed bastion of so-called "FREEDOM" -
If you look at the back of a Canadian nickel, you will see the creative, industrious and hard-working rodent that is the proud symbol of ALL Canadians: THE BEAVER!
THIS is the object that the band "Nickleback" emulate, unlike some pussy that most American bands seem to be made of!
- December 27, 2014 at 1:26 PM
I thought Nickelback was code for "beaver" or pussy, as have seen running across Canadian nickels, beaver is on back of nickel.

I mean wow! What a way to describe thoughts! "its like words in my head" if I could come up with something so simple yet so intrinsically profound I'd be rolling in the nickel royalties too! Captainmidnite
- July 13, 2015 at 7:47 PM
I don't think Americans automatically hate Canadian bands, like Nickelback. One can actually gauge the decline of the western civilization by the influx of Canadian music/bands that made it to U.S. I.e. once they gave us real talent with the likes of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell,Guess Who, BTO,Skylark(Wildflower,great ballad produced by David Foster) Rush, Triumph, April Wine, Gordon Lightfoot, and for some Alana Morisette, Celine Dion, Shania Twain. Then things started going south in the 80s with Loverboy, Bryan Adams, and further into the abyss with Bare naked Ladies. There were a few bright spots with Saga, and Strange Advance(Worlds Away),Also Nova, for some Corey Hart. Now we've been reduced to Nickelback, Justin Bieber, and Karly Jepsen(call me maybe? Cute but c'mon) I shudder to think what could be next! Captainmidnite

Oh I forgot Honeymoon Suite(I got a new girl now) Darby Mills(Breakin' down) and Nick Gilder(Roxy Roller, Hot Child in the city) I'm not sure who did song "meanwhile back in Paris I was embarrassed...stick him in the ground six feet down" think is Canadian band too. sp.

I do view baseball and football (and all other sports, really) the same way in this regard: the goal of the sport is to win a Championship. Anything less is failure, and trying to spin it any other way, to me, reeks of "participation ribbon" mentality.
Cincinnati Here We Go.
26 Years and Counting...
The press surrounding the playoffs and world series implies that the whole season is a useless exercise, I find that silly. Best in the game has historically been about who compiles the best record over six months.
I believe that myself, and I while I want my team to win the World Series I don't downgrade my feelings on the season by the fact that the Reds had a bad five game series, IE I don't mope, I don't curse baseball, I don't turn to football for solace, I don't stop watching baseball I don't bemoan how unfair the game is, because it is unfair.
Just like life
I watch a LOT of hockey, I love the NHL playoffs, it makes folks forget awesome 118 point seasons, players get to lift the cup... I get all that but I can't watch any sport for 6 months and not let some things slide, nor can I watch a sport for six months and feel anger when it doesn't fall into my lap like I want it to.
Part of the slide in the interest in the World Series has to do with the move to cable television.
Despite the assumption that "everyone has cable or satellite now," I think it still has affected the number of people watching the games. It is surprising the number of households that were affected by the recent changeover from analog to digital TV - far more households than you might expect. My own parents have no desire to pay for cable or satellite TV, and stick with basic over-the-air channels.
The general move to cable has hurt baseball. Football is still available (Saturdays and Sundays) to anyone regardless of whether they have cable or not.
I also tend to think the more post-season teams allowed, waters down the true championship game. The winner-take-all should not be a team who barely got in to the post-season and then suddenly got hot and started playing well against superior teams. If they want to go to the final game, try beating these superior teams during the season.
I liked the old days, where the post season was the East first place team versus the West first place team, and the winner went to the World Series to face the winner of the other league's division playoff..
"I can still throw it in the 70s. And I can throw it in the 80s if I don't want to comb my hair for a week." - Bob Feller at age 66 when asked how hard he could throw.
As a Reds fan, this season was great. I'd take another 10 just like it. Odds are the team wins a World Series or two if that happens, but that's got a lot less to do with ability and a lot more to do with the roulette wheel stopping on your number.
Wait until the year after next year.
Unfortunately we won't be going back. Yet I'd still like to see the team with the best record in each league get some sort of reward, either nothing but home games in the playoffs or the top overall pick or the ability to pick a player out of another organization (maybe all the other teams in the league get to protect 10 players/prospects and then the champion gets to select out of the who's left).
Wait until the year after next year.

Library seeks volunteers for voter registration event
Published 12:24 pm, Monday, January 27, 2014
The Midland County Public Library system is looking for volunteers to expand this weekend's voter registration drive.
Midland County primary elections take place March 4, and voters must register by Monday to cast ballots.
The library system partnered with the League of Women Voters to hold a registration drive on Saturday-- 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the downtown branch and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Centennial branch.
Volunteers are needed to extend the drive beginning Wednesday, said Edward McPherson, library education coordinator.
"The new Centennial library was built with the whole community in mind. Voter registration is one of the services that we can and should offer," McPherson said in a prepared statement.
Early voting runs from Feb. 18 to Feb. 28., and voters can now cast early and Election Day ballots at the Centennial branch.
"The Centennial library experienced high demand as a polling place during the November election," McPherson said. "As a result, we've partnered more closely with the county election office to move polling booths out of our conference room and into the larger meeting room."
The Permian Basin String Quartet will serenade Election Day voters at the Centennial branch from 5:15 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., he said.

In mail-order catalogs, they'll show those massagers where the lady in the ad or on the box is holding it against her neck. But it's so obviously a vibrator that ... I wonder if they'd still do that if it were shaped like a penis.
That would be funny crap.
"Here you go, kids. This'll relax those neck muscles ... just rub it on there like this..."
"But grandma, that looks like a giant wee-wee..."
"George!! Stop that ... you're not supposed to *eat* it!"
And we all know that Adrianne likes the Doors (eh...), and she told us on the mailing group that she likes NIN. I told her KMFDM was better, and she had a sort of "Don't make me kick your ass " kinda response. But she knows KMFDM, so that's always a good thing.
That's right, THIS mailing group
