This is by far the most outragous night out ever!!!
Start off as mere mortals stepping through the high iron gates and get screeched at by a creature of the night.............Then enter through to a bar with Vampiresses behind it serving drinks with horrifying names. The interior is covered wall to wall with spooky things that move or make noise if you go too close!!
Then they put you in a ghost train for a thrill ride into the main theatre where you are seated facing the stage and have your own waiter/waitress most often a character out of some horror movie. Be careful of them, if you moan or complain you will be scorned!!!
The meal is a 3course choice and drinks are additional.
The show is international class and we saw the likes of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, AC/DC, Pink Floyd and many other skits and songs.
AUD$69.00 per person - so worth it!!
Favorite Dish: Had to be the Coffin shaped Chocolate pudding - Hard on the outsite and gooey in the middle..........

Tirta Gangga, the water palace owned by the royal household of Karangasem, is located 83 kilometers northeast of Bali's capital of Denpasar and 6 kilometers north of Amlapura, the capital of the regency of Karangasem.
Beritabali.com reports that the complex was built in 1948, in the years following the end of World War II, on the initiative of the then king of Karangasem, Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem, as a place of rest and relaxation for his family.
Largely leveled by an eruption of Mt. Agung in 1963, the gardens have been lovingly restored to their original glory.
Built on the foothills of Bali's sacred Mount Agung, the Tirta Gangga Water Palace offers both a cooler locale and panoramic views across verdant rice terraces to the Indian Ocean in the distance.
The architecture of the water garden blends both Balinese and Chinese styles. Prior to the building of the water palace, the location was known as for its cool running waters that area residents believe were sacred, capable of being both physically and spiritually regenerative.
"Tirta" in ancient Sanskrit mean "water" while "Gangga" is linked to the sacred Ganges river of India. Like its namesake, Tirta Gangga viewed as a source of holy water by Balinese Hindus and its waters are used for holy ceremonies at surrounding temples. In keeping with tradition, sacred water for ritual purposes must always be takes directly from the source, necessitating a hike through the nearby jungle.
Upon entering Tirta Gangga, visitors will see a large pool decorated with statuary. The statues of Balinese Gods and Goddesses keep watch, standing on platforms surrounded by water. Very large gold fish swim the cool waters, swimming up to the pool's edge to solicit food from visitors.
Nearby a large swimming pool provides inviting cool dips. Changing rooms are also available.
The entire complex covers 1.2 hectares broken into three parts, each at its own elevation.
The complex is home to three separate water sources. One provides the drinking water for the entire city of Amlapura, the remaining supplies of fresh water fill the pools and irrigate the surrounding rice fields.
Those wishing to linger at the pools can stay at nearby accommodation ranging from inexpensive guesthouses to more lavish villas adjacent to the complex.

Italian media claim Manchester City set Mario Balotelli's price-tag at €35m, so Milan are intercepting Inter's bid for PSG man Javier Pastore instead.
The Rossoneri have made it clear they want to bring SuperMario back to Serie A after his struggles to settle with Roberto Mancini's side.
According to the Italian newspapers this morning, [12] Manchester City have set the price-tag at somewhere between €35m and €40m for a January move (between £28m and £32m) – altogether too much for President Silvio Berlusconi.
The only way to raise funds would be to sell Robinho to a Brazilian side for €12m, as he has offers from Santos, Cruzeiro, Atletico Mineiro and Flamengo.
With this in mind, La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests Milan are changing tack and have contacted the agent of PSG trequartista Pastore.
The former Palermo star has been deeply disappointing in Paris and heavily linked with a January switch to Inter.
However, La Gazzetta dello Sport claims general manager Adriano Galliani met with agent Marcelo Simonian two days ago to discuss the possibility of taking Pastore on loan in January to help him regain his form.

Reds fan catches two home runs in same inning — and then gives both balls away
There's no doubt about it: Caleb Lloyd is the man.
The 20-year-old Cincinnati Reds fan made hundreds of headlines on Monday night after catching home run balls from pitcher Mike Leake and shortstop Zack Cozart. Lloyd's dueling grabs occurred not only in the same game, but in consecutive at-bats during the Reds' 4-1 win over Atlanta Braves at Great American Ballpark. Not bad for someone who had just planned on playing the MLB 2K12 video game all night before his friend called him up with a last-minute offer of tickets in the left-field bleachers.
[Related: Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman arrested for driving 93 mph on suspended license]
Watch the unreal sequence play out here:
But while Lloyd living out two dream grabs on what he called "the best day" of his life is impressive, I was actually more taken by the fact he immediately gave up both homer balls to people he thought would like them better. While we've written posts about people catching two homers in one day or three in each game of a series, I can't remember ever writing about someone who was so charitable with his stroke-of-luck souvenirs.
So why did Lloyd give the baseballs up? And who did he give them to?
From MLB.com:
"I gave the Cozart one to my buddy since his uncle got us the tickets," Lloyd said. "He was the reason I was here. The Leake ball, I gave it back, because I knew it was Leake's first Major League home run. I just want to meet him and shake his hand."
The power of Christian Lopez compelled him!
It's also not like Lloyd didn't sustain any damage while collecting the baseballs. While Cozart's ball came to him off a carom, the drive by Leake required a bit more suffering.
"The first one, I actually barehanded," Lloyd said. "It hit my hand. It didn't expect I'd actually catch it. I never caught a home run ball. I caught it and it like bounced off the palm of my hand, and I just reached out and grabbed it. It hurt really bad. I don't recommend doing it again."
At any rate, Lloyd's generosity without a second thought should be lauded.

But it shouldn't come as any surprise for those who saw his later interview with Reds broadcasters. Possessing great manners and a fantastic outlook on life for anyone (not just a college student), Lloyd not only did his mother proud (he namechecked and praised her on television) but also Thomas More College, where he just completed his junior year.
Between the homers and the giveaway, thanks for three great highlights, Caleb.

Fear Stood In My Way

A young, healthy 22-year-old, inwardly energized, I desired to tell others the good news: that God has a master plan for us.
Mind you, not just any master plan, it's the master plan: a love plan. Yes, a plan that's beyond one's wildest imagination. God, who loved humanity so much, sent his only son to suffer and die for us, as this was the only acceptable atonement for sin upon which he would redeem us back to himself. And thus if we accept his redemption and surrender to his Lordship, we can abide with him for all eternity. Such incomprehensible love I now understood and believed.
However, I was ignorant of the ways of God. I needed to learn more about him. So I devoured the Bible cover to cover, having never read it before except for a few feeble attempts with a closed heart. But now my heart was open, having heard and received access to the path of life, and now able to learn precept upon precept.
Salvation of my soul was the best gift I had ever received. And I desired to tell others. So I did. I told family, fellow employees, friends - though I pretty much drove them away with the telling. I was still a social misfit, unsure of myself, lacking in communication skills, beating them over the head with the truth of the Gospel.
Then, at the age of 24, I prayed earnestly for something specific. I wanted to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. While on staff at the Christian Center, the other staff members and those who congregated there for Bible study had experienced this phenomenon, while I had not. Some had laid hands on me praying for me to receive it, but it didn't take place. Perhaps I was too proud to fully surrender. I don't really know. But I do know, I wanted what they had.
Discouraged, I sought after it regularly while alone in prayer. But this particular day I was even more determined to hear from God. After all, this baptism is mentioned several times in the New Testament. So this promise had to be for me.
I didn't hear from God while driving home that day from the Center. But that evening – in fact it was in the middle of the night – I awoke to the loud cries of my 18-month old nephew who lived with us. A bit irritated about my disturbed sleep, I could hear my sister getting his bottle ready downstairs. And soon after his feeding, all was quiet again. But I couldn't fall back to sleep. So in my bedroom, in the dark with my eyes closed, I started to sing softly the words to a Debbie Boone song. She had written it a number of years prior to "You Light Up My Life," the song she would later became famous for, at least in Christian circles. I started to sing,
Father, God, why have you forsaken me.
Can you really see me here?
Do you even care?
I'm not sure of the title, but the lyrics conveyed what I was feeling. As I continued to sing more verses, my eyes still closed, to my amazement I could see off in the distance three words, equally spaced, in identical type-set. I couldn't read the words, but I knew they were words - like what you might see during an eye exam, although in that case you would see letters. These three words were slowly making their way toward me. Then, the moment I could ascertain one of the words, as soon as I could mentally utter it – "prophesy" - God's power went through me like lightening, commencing at the top of my head and progressing downward through my toes. I felt lit up like a light bulb. Then all vanished.
I spent the rest of the night praising God for what I thought was the baptism in the Holy Spirit, yet questioning why I still couldn't speak in tongues. After all, weren't tongues the sign that you had received the baptism in the Holy Spirit? I do know, though, that from that day forward, when I would pray and seek the Lord, the Holy Spirit's presence would lift my head. I could feel His presence upon me.
Overjoyed, I told this experience to others at the Christian Center. But when I answered, no, to whether or not I spoke in tongues, they dismissed my experience.
Years rolled by. My life didn't pan out the way I expected. Although I thought I was fully committed to hearing and obeying my Lord, I made relationship decisions that caused me untold heartache and frustration. While pregnant, my husband left me for another woman. Then I remarried and found my health deteriorating. An autoimmune disease followed. Thinking I was Christ-centered, I realized later I was actually self-centered in many ways. Although I wasn't responsible for the sins of others, my Lord held me accountable for my own actions regardless of what others chose to do.
I entered my 40s. One day I went into Bombay, a retail store now defunct. I had purchased a table that proved to be defective and was returning it for another. As soon as I entered, I could feel a strong presence of the Holy Spirit surrounding me as well as a sensation of light. It startled me. This had never happened before. As I spoke to the saleslady behind the counter, I couldn't help but notice that she had a long scar starting just under her chin and disappearing below the top of her sweater. She appeared to be in her late 50s. As she was attempting to refund and bill me for the replacement table, the computer kept malfunctioning and she continued to try different options to get the transaction through. In the meantime the few people in the store had left, so there was only her and I. I was continuously being nudged by the Holy Spirit to speak to her. But I was terrified. What should I say? Should I mention her scar and start with that? Ask if I could pray for her? Was it a salvation message I was to convey? Reasoning now took over. Does God really want me to do this? What if this lady thinks I'm nuts to bring up such a subject in the middle of a transaction. Who am I to be telling this lady anything? I don't even have my own life in order. My home life still seems to be chaotic. I'm always exhausted.
I was given so much opportunity that hour to obey God. But I wouldn't. I thanked her and left the store. In turmoil I went home knowing I had failed to do God's will. Of course I repented. I felt sick about the whole episode. And I asked God to give me another chance. Within the week I revisited the store. She wasn't there. I continued to visit periodically for the next month. She never appeared. I would never see that lady again and wondered often if she had died. Was someone else able to tell her about Jesus, or would the responsibility for her lack of salvation be placed squarely on my shoulders?
A few years later I was headed for the Bahamas with my husband and daughter. I still suffered from extreme exhaustion. The next morning as the three of us walked on the beach, my husband up ahead of me, my daughter even further up, already getting her hair braided, I passed the diving instructor who was taking divers out on a boat later that afternoon. My daughter had expressed interest in diving and had pointed him out earlier. As I passed him, I experienced another first-time phenomenon: I felt a force-field surround the two of us, just he and I. I couldn't see it. I felt it. I had heard of force fields but didn't know much about them. But I knew instinctively that this was what this was; only it was spiritual in nature.
In those few minutes as I stood there observing this man who was not looking my way, I started arguing again with God. "You can't possibly want me to speak to him about you? What would I say to him? You haven't placed any words in my mouth. I don't know anything about him except that he scuba dives. What will my husband think?" I continued to observe him. People started coming up to him and talking to him about skin-diving issues. And once again I rationalized. I thought about my own life and how unfit I was to be used when I still didn't have my life in order and didn't know how to make it so. Finally, in fear and frustration, I left to catch up with my husband. I did see this man a few more times, but the force-field phenomenon was gone. My opportunity was lost. Again guilt. Again repentance.
I never had any more episodes like that. Fear held me bound. The Lord wanted to use me, but couldn't. He had to look for another. That was a number of years ago. Oh how I lived to regret my disobedience. I cared more about what others thought of me than of what God asked of me.
Today, while cooking supper, I listened to a speaker on WCRF. He said something very interesting: "When you take care of what's on God's heart, He takes care of what's on yours." I wish I could have heard this a few years earlier. Then I wouldn't have been looking at the mess my life was in – at least not in the God-moments – and instead, like Rahab, would have acted on the prompting of the Holy Spirit. But then again, maybe not.
I've learned the hard way. God can't use you to do what is on his heart if you don't possess the character needed to do the job. And without character, such as humility and risk, you won't make use of the opportunity. And without maturity when conversing with non-believers, all you are is a clanging sound, a loud cymbal – an irritant to the beholder. You can't be trusted to do the job. So He no longer gives you more instruction.
Character matters. The higher the calling, the greater the character required to fulfill it. God can't build our character for us. Instead, He gives us opportunities and situations that require character. So it is up to us to step up to the plate. But to do so requires humility and risk with no guarantee of the outcome.
God is not through with me yet. I still have years left in me to be obedient to the Lord and Savior I profess to love with all my heart, my soul and my being. But I believe he had to break and remold me on the potter's wheel in order for me to be of further use to him, for he knows I so want to be used of him. I love him.
He has used me in other ways other than the types of experiences I have expressed in this article that I find deeply fulfilling. And although I have yet to speak in tongues or learn what the other two words are, hopefully I am coming into that mindset where I now fear him more than I fear man.
I have lived a Jacob's life - although my basic flaw is fearfulness, not deceit and showing favoritism. When I read about Jacob's life, what I find most interesting is his transformation. After all, that's really what our lives are to be about, isn't it? We all have basic character flaws, don't we? When Jacob had to leave home because of his deception, he met his match in the man he needed to work for. And when he came back home twenty years later, he no longer used deception as a means to get ahead. But Jacob's troubles didn't end once he arrived home. Some of his grown sons also caused him enormous grief. And some (although certainly not all) of their actions were rooted in bitterness over Jacob playing favorites, provoking them. Yet Jacob also lived by faith, holding on to God's promise and will always be remembered throughout all generations as a descendant of the promised Messiah. For our God is frequently referred to as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
It takes courage to serve the Lord. It takes courage to face the giants in the land. It takes courage to know when God is asking something of you and to take action, believing in faith that you are doing his will. It takes courage in this day and hour to do what is right that the culture now considers wrong, trusting God with the outcome. And it takes wisdom to do all of it in love.
Someday soon we will give an account when we face our Lord, and how we will wish we had done so much more. Paul knew he had fought the good fight. How many of us know that.

We hear plenty of fretting nowadays about overzealous zoning committees, out-of-sight scrap prices, indifferent inheritors and other causes for the disappearance of project car fodder, but John G. Tennyson's article in SIA #94, August 1986, taking a look at one man's outdoor collection of old cars, mostly Studebakers, shows us that these are not new phenomena, especially in his wonder at the face that the collection remained in the face of encroaching development. Thus, a question for all you Studebaker fans and Sacto residents: Has this collection succumbed to progress, or is it still out there?
No idea but that nash in the last picture was registered shortly before being parked. Plates with that numbering scheme started in 84 iirc. (no earlier than 83).
The Studes are bad enough but who would let Auburns and a Cord just rot away?
I must say that the pre-Hawk Loewy coupes were a truly brilliant auto design. Just right in proportion and size. A little Stude coupe with a six cylinder and overdrive was a near perfect package.
I remember that article. I too wonder what ever happend to that collection. Surely the secret got out after the article was published. And 23 years later, with the advent of satelite imaging and the internet. You know it's all gone. Hopefully to good homes.

By Diogenes (articles ) | Aug 08, 2004
Now at age eighty-three, after fifty-nine years of a happy and exciting priesthood, my early questioning of celibacy has been confirmed. Rather than an enhancement, celibacy has been more of a distraction.
The current Commonweal has a reflection by Msgr. Harry Byrne on priestly celibacy. As with nearly everything he writes, there's an oddly off-center feel to it, like a bench vise whose jaws don't meet squarely. On first reading his remark that celibacy was a "distraction," I imagined it was a slip for another word, perhaps "vexation." After finishing the essay I concluded that he meant what he said: he views priestly asceticism as a sporadic and pesky interruption of more important business.
What is that business? In briefest terms, the business of demonstrating to the world the seamlessly enlightened urbanity of Harry J. Byrne.
I seriously considered a particular prospect of marriage, but stayed, because of an underlying commitment to ministry as packaged in man-made policies of our church and to the network of family, friends -- Catholic and non-Catholic -- and colleagues.
Note how the business school jargon neutralizes the undertone of resentment but also fails to make contact with a recognizably Catholic notion of priesthood. He sounds like a man at the 25th reunion of his posh prep school, surrounded by neurosurgeons, apologetically explaining to his classmates why he decided to go into orthodonty ("and in '98 the Association flew me Business Class to Singapore...").
In many respects Byrne is quintessentially a man of his time; certainly he exemplifies the 1960s cleric still besottedly in love with the mystique of Camelot. His enthusiasms are for important people, for important places, for the surfaces of things. It seems never to have occurred to him that a priest might conscientiously elect celibacy in imitation of Christ. Small wonder, then, that he regards celibacy as a distraction, but we may hope it is a distraction he succumbed to very, very often.

If he thinks celibacy is a distraction, just think whatt he would have learned by having a wife and kids. Talk about distracting!

In a long article on "what might have been" this poor man regrets his vocation to the priesthood and longs to be free of the burden of celibacy. For a man of his age he displays an extreme immaturity - almost a selfishness around being denied some human pleasure. It's all about me and maybe my girlfriend(s). All you need to know is that the word "children" appears twice, but only as victims. In his imagination he doesn't give a thought to raising children or sadly seeing die in his arms.

Wimps and effeminate wheenies never stop whining about celibacy. I've got news for his reverence, no wife worthy of the name would be willing to share her spouse with another woman - even if the woman is Holy Mother Church. Priests in the West come from a missionary tradition that requires that they be ready to "move out" with little or no notice, regardless of personal considerations. Either serve God or serve Mama ... you can't do both.

Continued sunshine into early August has given the fresh primary meat and poultry and chilled fish sectors a healthy boost in volume terms.
The latest Meat, Fish and Poultry (MFP) figures from Kantar Worldpanel have shown that the fish sector particularly experienced strong growth for the 12 weeks ending 14 August 2016.
"Chilled fish is benefitting from 475,000 more shoppers buying the market this year, with growth coming from both ends of the age spectrum, with pre-family and retired shoppers driving category growth," commented business unit director for MFP Nathan Ward.
"Over half a million more shoppers have bought into shellfish this year, even though it is the most premium sector in chilled fish. Prawns, scampi and surimi are the most important contributors to growth over the period."
Breaded fish has also seen a solid performance, with a 3.3% increase year-or-year in volume purchased as more consumers are buying traditional species such as cod and haddock. Older and more conventional shoppers are the main contributors to that part of growth, although younger 'pre-family' shoppers are also connecting with these products.
Suppressed beef value
The fresh primary meat and poultry have also delivered a solid performance, with strong volume growth over the same period.
Whilst beef has seen value growth slow, roasting joints have declined. Although 450,000 more shoppers bought beef this year, falling prices across the cuts have suppressed value, according to the MFP.
Despite this, promotional investment has helped to stimulate volume growth.
Mince has remained a favoured product, helping to drive volume growth price cuts which have doubled in volume terms y-o-y.
Poultry has continued to see growth in volume – though this has been limited through chicken and turkey. Chicken breasts remain a key cut with legs playing an important role in both chicken and turkey growth.

IANADD but anyways, here are some (hopefully useful) comments: At first: You would help potential sponsors a lot if you could post more information about your package / the software you package. Like Author, Upstream URL, license, etc. You should consider your sponsorship request as an ad for your package, as such more information on first sight makes it easier to get some DD to sponsor your upload. But at least should you point a direct link to the .dsc file so that DD can use dget to get your package. Ok, but to go on: - debian/changelog: You should file an ITP bug for this package and close this one in the changelog (by adding (Closes: #nnnn)) - debian/copyright: According to the policy this file needs to include informations about copyright(s), upstream author, upstream location and license. See Policy 12.5 for more information. - debian/rules: * there is no need to keep the comments derived from the dh-make template * there are some uncommented entries, like line 38 or 72-83. If you don't need them, then don't keep them. * using dh_install for the installation of just one binary seems to be an overkill. i recommend you to use install instead. you can use with -D, then it will also create usr/bin which makes debian/dirs and the dh_installdirs call not needed Best Regards, Patrick

Hair-of-Dog Policy Risks U.K. Housing Boom Repeat, Turner SaysSharon Chen and Eshe Nelson
Britain risks repeating the debt-fueled binge that led to the credit crisis as the government relies on a hair-of-the-dog remedy for the economy, said former Financial Services Authority Chairman Adair Turner.
"We had a fantastic party, we got a whacking great hangover, and we've decided that the best cure is a really stiff drink," Turner said in an interview in Singapore on Oct. 25. "Which is the same all over again -- get the housing market going again."
House prices in England and Wales rose 3.1 percent from a year earlier, the biggest gain since 2007, Hometrack Ltd. said today. The report adds to evidence that Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne's Help to Buy program is stoking the property market.
Turner added his voice to critics including the opposition Labour Party and the International Monetary Fund who say the initiative, which cuts deposit requirements for people wanting to get onto the property ladder, could fuel another property bubble. In London, prices are soaring amid demand from cash-rich international buyers.
"We now have an incredibly frothy central London and wider London market and an increasingly buoyant across-the-economy market," he said. "It's that increasingly buoyant across-the-economy market that we have to watch carefully and make sure that we don't allow it to go from reasonable buoyancy to excess."
Price Boom
Despite government pledges to rebalance the economy away from consumer spending and the housing market, "we now seem to be having a recovery which is heavily focused on that favorite old British activity, which is another house price boom," he said. "That's not a sustainable, balanced economy."
Turner, who took over the chairmanship of the FSA a week after the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in September 2008, said the housing market needs to be watched "very, very carefully" as "the economy has got going again because we've thrown at it a whole load of policy stimulus."
Help to buy allows people to buy homes costing up to 600,000 pounds ($970,000) with a 5 percent deposit. The program began in April with interest-free loans for buyers of newly built properties and the second phase -- mortgage guarantees covering all homes -- was brought forward to this month from January.
"Do I worry that we are encouraging people to take out 95 percent mortgages? Yes I do," Turner said. "There is a danger that we encourage people to take out mortgages that look fine as long as we have currently low interest rates but if interest rates return to normal in 5 or 7 years' time, to 5 or 7 percent -- some people will find these difficult mortgages to service and that's problematic."
Widening Gap
House prices in England and Wales rose 0.5 percent this month, the same pace as in September, Hometrack said. The gains were the fastest since May 2007. Values in London jumped 0.8 percent.
The gap between supply and demand widened further in October, Hometrack said. The number of new buyers registering with real-estate agents rose 2 percent from a month earlier, while the volume of property listings fell 1.6 percent. House prices rose in all regions except the northeast, it said.
"Talk of a national bubble is overdone but could start to impact on market sentiment and the willingness of buyers to pay higher prices," Hometrack said.
The U.K. economy grew 0.8 percent in the third quarter, its fastest pace for more than three years, government data on Oct. 25 showed. Services companies from architects to engineers accounted for three quarters of the increase, underlining the effect the housing-market recovery is having on growth.

ALBANY — The Siena men's basketball team won its 27th consecutive game at Times Union Center, but not before holding off a scrappy Saint Peter's team, 64-53, on New Year's Eve.
The Saints (9-4, 3-0) were back-and-forth with the Peacocks (6-7, 1-2) all game until the latter part of the second half, when a 14-3 run gave Siena a 54-45 lead with about three minutes to play.
Edwin Ubiles led Siena with 21 points. The Saints also got 14 points from Ryan Rossiter and 13 from Clarence Jackson.
Saint Peter's played without Wesley Jenkins (mild concussion), its leading scorer who averages 14 points.
Siena coach Fran McCaffery, whose team led just 27-25 at halftime, played his starters for the entire second half. Before that, he used 10 players in the first half, including freshman Davis Martens, who scored one point in six minutes in his college debut.
The Saints won despite quiet games from Ronald Moore and Alex Franklin. Moore finished with six assists and six turnovers, while Franklin scored nine points and shot only 1-for-7 from the field.
Siena overcame 32.1 percent shooting by getting to the free-throw line. The Saints were 26-35 from the line, compared to 8-for-13 for Saint Peter's.
Siena set two milestones with the victory: The Saints established a new record home winning streak in their Division I era, and they claimed their 200th Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference victory.

Matching family tree profiles for Elizabeth Bryce
Immediate Family
About Elizabeth Bryce
Elizabeth Bryce, died before 1542, was the granddaughter of a London goldsmith, Sir Hugh Bryce (d. September 22, 1496) and his wife, Elizabeth Chester (d.1504). It is not certain when her father, James, died, but Elizabeth was still underage and unmarried in 1498. She married another goldsmith, Robert Amadas (1470-by April 14,1532). They had two daughters, Elizabeth, who died before her parents, and Thomasine. In 1526, Robert Amadas was appointed Master of the Jewel House to King Henry VIII. Amadas owned a house in Aldersgate and land in Essex. Upon his death, Elizabeth inherited Jenkins, a "mansion house" in Barking, and on August 28, 1532, married Sir Thomas Neville (c.1475-May 29,1542) in the chapel there. He was the younger brother of Baron Bergavenny and a lawyer. He and Elizabeth had no children and she died before him. Here the "facts" become contradictory. According to Carolly Erickson's biography of Henry VIII's daughter, Queen Mary, Mrs. Amadas "began, in 1533, to spread 'ungracious' statements about the king's occult destiny." She said these prophesies had been known to her for some twenty years. She kept a "painted roll of her predictions" which included battles and deaths and conquest by Scotland, as well as Anne Boleyn's death within six months by being burnt at the stake. The story that Mrs. Amadas claimed, in 1532, that she had once been the king's mistress, has fairly wide circulation. Since she specified that she met him in Sir William Compton's house in Thames Street, this must have been before Compton's death in 1528 . . . if it ever happened. And if, indeed, she called Anne Boleyn a harlot and spoke out against the king setting aside his wife, then it would have been difficult indeed for her to marry Thomas Neville when she did. Wikipedia, never the most reliable of sources, summarizes "what everyone knows" about Elizabeth Amadas, which is that she was arrested for her treasonous statements and that Richard Amadas was ordered to pay several hundred pounds to the crown, although whether to free his wife or because there was plate missing from the Jewel House is not clear. Of course, since Amadas had died early in 1532, either would have been a good trick. That Elizabeth was "given to tantrums and strange visions," as Alison Weir recounts, is equally suspect, although both she and G.W. Bernard give sources in the L&P for the affair with the king and the prophesies. Kelly Hart, in The Mistresses of Henry VIII, repeats all the stories about Elizabeth Amadas and adds that Robert Amadas owed the king £1,771 19s.10d. for missing plate. She also says that Elizabeth died within four months of her second marriage but gives no sources for this information. Sharon Jansen, in Dangerous Talk and Strange Behavior, has a different take on Mrs. Amadas. Indeed, she doesn't think the self-proclaimed prophet was Elizabeth Bryce at all. Jansen identifies the Mrs. Amadas who compared herself with Catherine of Aragon and Elizabeth Stafford, Duchess of Norfolk as an abused wife as the wife of John Amadas (by 1489-1554/5), a member of the king's household with properties in Devon, Cornwall, and Kent. He was married by 1519, but his wife's name is unknown. They had a son and a daughter and she had died by 1542, when he remarried.

Google Play Store Won't Load
re. Galaxy Note 10.1/16GB/wifi only/owned for about 6 wks.]
The other day just out of the blue, I find Play Store won't load. An error message flashes up and is gone too fast for me to read it. This happens if I attempt to launch it from the icon, widget, or notifications for updates. Something seems to be corrupted. My other Google services appear to be intact, just affecting Play Store. I'm not seeing anyone else with this problem on this or any other devices, so I'm guessing it's something unique to my set-up. Any other forums or help sites anyone can suggest? (I assume going directly to Samsung, Google, or BestBuy would be a waste of time). I can get along without it in the short term, but since I can't download apps from there, nor can I update the apps I have, it has to be fixed.

It was yet another mixed bag night of auditions on America's Got Talent, this time in St. Louis. But unlike Monday night's show in Tampa Bay, which featured mostly good acts, the second night of week three had more cringe-worthy performances. At least newbie judge Howard Stern has finally seemed to realize that his shtick of climbing onstage at every opportunity is wearing thin, as he mainly stayed seated. Otherwise, it was pretty much status quo for the show. So, here's all you need to know.
The Good (a.k.a. "The Real Business")
Issac Brown, singer: When this dapper six-year-old stepped onstage, we had flashbacks to young Mir Money's meltdown last week. Because of that, you could tell Howard was determined not to touch his buzzer no matter how bad the kid was. But the shock jock wasn't put in the same position again, since Issac was not only cute as a button but he also had a pretty good voice. He definitely channeled a little bit of MJ while singing the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back," leaving the audience and judges eating out of the palm of his tiny little hand. With three big yeses, he could sail through the second round in Las Vegas based on the cuteness factor alone.
Spencer Horsman, escape artist: At 26, this guy claims to be the "world's youngest" person doing Houdini-like stunts, which seems kinda old to us, but we'll roll with it. He certainly had the lame-o "escape artist" from Monday night's show beat, as he donned a straitjacket and hung himself upside down inside a giant, bear trap-like contraption that was set to snap shut after 80 seconds. With its potential to maim or even kill him, the judges and audience were riveted from the second the clock started ticking. Thankfully, just as the trap snapped shut, he broke free and fell to the ground. The judges eagerly sent him off to Vegas, and Howard upped the ante of what he wanted to see next time, saying, "I won't be satisfied till you kill yourself!" Nice.
The Eh (a.k.a. "Not So Much")
Jake Wesley Rogers, singer: We're not really sure why the judges loved this guy so much. He performed an all right rendition of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love," but it definitely wasn't worthy of such an easy pass to the next round. All we can think is the judges saw the coveted market of tween girls tuning in to make sure the geek-chic cutie stays in the competition.
The Cut Throat Freak Show, sideshow act: This was actually more "ew" than "eh," like a car accident you can't look away from. First, a woman named Candy Pants stomped on a bucketful of broken beer bottles. Then a guy picked up a folding chair by sticking hooks into his eyelids, which stretched so far beyond reasonable comprehension that you're probably a serial killer if you didn't squirm. For the grand finale, another man swallowed a sword that was removed with the help of the world's strongest eyelids. Howard and Howie Mandel thought it was riveting enough for Vegas, but Sharon Osbourne was too grossed out to agree. Still, we'll see you again soon, Miss Candy Pants!
The Just Plain Bad (a.k.a. "The Bizarro Bunch")
Tom Bonham, puppeteer: This poor guy has spent the majority of 65 years on earth perfecting his "skill" – poorly maneuvering homemade puppets made from recycled household items, like paper mache kangaroos, a bleach bottle elephant and a Howard doll made out of a toilet brush. Adding an extra element of creepy was the fact that he sang "Over the Rainbow" during the whole thing. Howard and Sharon thankfully buzzed him, but Howie was so oddly enamored that he told the guy "do not give up the dream." Clearly Mr. Mandel was sipping something other than Snapple from his cup.
Little Ozzy, singer: On the surface, a little person impersonating Sharon's heavy metal hubby Ozzy Osbourne sounds awesome. And it was, for a few brief seconds. But then things went horribly awry as his voice got nasally while singing "Mama, I'm Coming Home," a song the Prince of Darkness wrote for his wife. Pander much? Well, it worked – in terms of getting Little Ozzy a hug from Sharon. But he didn't get her vote, or anyone else's, for that matter. Somewhere though, the band Mini KISS is planning a co-headlining tour with this guy.
Curtis Cutts Bey, singer: Terrible. So terrible, in fact, that all three judges buzzed at the exact same time – as soon as he opened his mouth to sing Rick James' "Give It to Me Baby." But for some reason host Nick Cannon felt the need to run on stage and help him through another rendition, which was only made bearable by the comic relief of Ron Christopher Porter Jr. (see below). Otherwise, the do-over was a total waste of time.
We Hardly Knew Ya
The Soda Crusher: Yeah, it was cool that this jacked woman was able to crush full, unopened cans of soda with her bare hands. But the truly fascinating thing about her was she looked exactly like comedian Carrot Top. Based on that uncanny resemblance alone, we would have loved to watch her crush the whole six-pack rather than just a couple. Maybe she can sneak into Vegas by pretending to be him?
"Little Peanut": We didn't catch the name of this all-female Irish step dancing troupe, but they certainly made an impression with their comically curly hair and Tammy Faye-inspired makeup. Stealing the spotlight was a five-year-old who clearly deserves a starring role on Toddlers & Tiaras. But for now, round two in Vegas will have to do.
Ron Christopher Porter, Jr.: It's a total travesty we won't be seeing more of this guy, an overly excitable but extremely likeable wannabe voiceover actor. While the judges didn't think his talent was worthy of a million dollars, they did think he'd make a good sidekick for host Nick Cannon, whom he assisted for some of the night. And we gotta say, Ronny boy was waaay more entertaining than Nick could ever hope to be. AGT, sign this guy on as host ASAP!

Goldfish are racing once again at the Harmon Tap Room in Tacoma.
If you're anything like me, you're probably surprised to hear goldfish were racing to begin with. (They're not fast creatures, right?)
But it seems the Tacoma bar's patrons like nothing better than a cold beer and a good showdown between slippery little fish.
The races were discontinued after PETA protested, reports KIRO Radio. But now the bar's owners say they've done away with the spray bottles used to urge the fish along.
Instead, patrons can use straws to blow on the water as the goldfish shimmy down the long gutters used for the races.
The bar's owners say the fish weren't mistreated in the first place, according to KIRO.
But a Facebook video recently convinced PETA otherwise. The video shows patrons squirting the fish with water and occasionally dropping them on the floor.
How long do you think it will be before nearly-naked women glowing with orange body paint are protesting outside the bar?

Talent Egg
TalentEgg is Canada's career hub for students and new graduates that are looking for meaningful student jobs, entry level jobs, summer jobs and internships, and co-op job opportunities.
Feedback: if you need it, here's where to get it and how to use it
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Recently, Canadian Olympic athletes were surveyed by Mondelēz Canada about the best ways for spectators to cheer them on to a gold medal standing in Sochi.
Fully three-quarters of them said that "hearing their fans cheering and shouting" and seeing them "waving encouraging signs of support" is highly motivational.
Feedback matters, to athletes, to all of us.
Sometimes feedback isn't easy to come by. For Gen Y, a cohort accustomed to the instantaneity of social media feedback loops, it can be frustrating when your work performance isn't evaluated. If feedback expectations are unmet, employees are likely to feel unmotivated, isolated, and are more apt to jump ship.
Thanks anyway: ignoring the wrong feedback
At other times we get feedback but fail to act on it.
This is especially common if the feedback feels like it's the wrong kind.
For example, we're unlikely to take feedback to heart when it seems contradictory. Likewise for many, praise and recognition, while nice to hear, are not what we most crave at work.
It turns out that six out of ten people prefer corrective feedback (such as suggestions for improvement) over positive feedback (such as congratulatory comments), according to Harvard Business Review.
Key attributes of efficient and usable feedback are frequency, clarity, and specificity, observes Jay Gilbert in the University of Western Ontario's Ivey Business Journal. But it takes time, and a lot of it, to provide that kind of personalized feedback.
As employers seek to create a culture of feedback and collaboration, more are adopting enterprise software systems to socialize employee reviews.
Helping staff get 360-degree peer-to-peer feedback — not once a year but continuously — is the idea.
It makes good business sense, because research shows that regular, low-stakes assessment is highly effective. That's because it allows the receiver to make incremental improvements and small adjustments. They are then less likely to become immobilized, defeated, and overwhelmed by a deluge of decontextualized feedback in an annual assessment.
Social feedback
If you feel the need for more feedback on your creative work and ideas, turn to the social web.
A bit of web sleuthing is almost guaranteed to uncover a niche community where you can engage in commentary, ask questions, and practice social reciprocity by giving feedback while also receiving it. Some examples:
Graphic designers and photographers
Look to the Behance network or DeviantART (both have free/paid options) to showcase and discover design work and submit your creative work for critique by a global community. If you're a photographer, Flickr or 1X (free/paid) communities are good bets to receive professional feedback. All of these sites also do double duty by hosting online creative portfolios for a fee.
Writers and editors
Want feedback on your writing? Beyond fan fiction sites, visit ABCTales (free) or Critique Circle (paid), two large active communities where published and aspiring authors can share, discuss and develop their work.
Fashion designers and stylists
For fashionistas, try LookBook and Polyvore to get community feedback from other (established as well as up-and-coming) stylists, models, and designers.
And as a bonus, by becoming involved in a feedback community, online or off, you'll also expand your professional networks — and don't forget that volunteering is another way to garner feedback while giving back.
Don't be surprised if a quest for feedback ends up inspiring your next great idea and uncovers some collaborators to help make it happen.

Poll question: Should Kobe Bryant sit out against San Antonio?
As The Times' Mike Bresnahan reported today, Kobe Bryant remains a game-time decision for tonight's contest against San Antonio after having an MRI today on his sprained left ankle. Meanwhile, center Andrew Bynum told Brez he "would not play tonight" after missing the second half Saturday against Portland because of a bruise to his right hip.
As for Bryant, every week there seems to be another poll regarding whether he should rest so he can heal his various injuries.
Blame it on my lack of creativity (fair point), but it's clear that Bryant's ongoing injuries and performance with those bumps and bruises continue to add new wrinkles to the debate.
First, fans wondered whether Bryant should sit out because his shooting percentage dropped during much of January after he aggravated his fractured right index finger. As Bryant continued tinkering with his splint and played more of a distributing role, I thought concern over whether Bryant could play hurt was moot (he clearly could). It seemed more important to debate whether his role should be adjusted because of limitations from his fractured index finger. That debate blew wide open when forward Pau Gasol said Bryant's record-breaking performance against Memphis came at the expense of the inside game.
Then, when Bryant aggravated a sprained left ankle Wednesday against Charlotte, fans wondered if that five-point performance on two-of-12 shooting would finally persuade him to forgo the possibility of a third consecutive 82-game season. He seemed to answer the question Friday with 33 points on 11-of-22 shooting against Denver. But then the following night he sat out against Portland, the pain in his ankle too much to bear.
With the Lakers coming off their first win at Portland in the last 10 games, the debate continues over whether Bryant should rest until his injuries are fully healed. I agree with ESPN 710's John Ireland take that though the Lakers managed to play rather well against Portland without Bryant, that doesn't automatically mean the Lakers can afford to lose Bryant for a significant amount of time. It's one thing to have a collective effort to fill a star's void for one game. It's quite another to duplicate it game after game.
But in the grand scheme of things, Bryant possibly missing Monday night's game and maybe even Wednesday at Utah are really just two games on an 82-game schedule, even if they are against playoff-caliber opponents and could bear tie-breaking implications for home-court advantage in the playoffs.
That leads us to the poll question:

PEMBROKE — There's no questioning the rivalry between Lumberton and Purnell Swett.
In his final visit to Pembroke on Monday, Lumberton senior Demetri Sheridan had the opponent on his mind.
"This was my last time playing them here," Sheridan said. "You always remember playing Purnell, so I just tried to put my team in the best position to win."
The best position seemed to be right under the hoop as he hit layups and short shots off rebounds. By the time the teams left the court, he had played one of the best games of his career. He finished 12-for-12 shooting and 3-for-3 in free throws for 27 points as the Pirates (9-9, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) snapped a three-game losing streak with a 78-56 win against the Rams (3-11, 1-4).
His 11 rebounds made it a double-double.
"We just couldn't stop Sheridan," said Purnell Swett coach Jeremy Sampson. "He was the difference, I think."
Sheridan put up 19 of Lumberton's 44 points in the first half and was the only Pirate to score more than five points before the break. The Rams moved into a box-and-one defense to contain him after halftime. He only had eight more in the second half while playing limited minutes.
It was both teams' first game back after getting a week off due to snow.
Sheridan alone wasn't enough to take down the Rams, who battled throughout the first half. Whenever Lumberton got a lead early, the Rams got the scoring needed to get back into it.
First Lumberton went up 17-7, but the duo of Kendrick Purdie and Tyler Maynor narrowed to one point. By the second half, Lumberton led by as many as 14 before the Rams got it back into single digits on a 3-pointer by Maynor that narrowed the deficit to 44-35 at halftime.
Maynor and Purdie combined for 24 first-half points but went silent as the Swett offense struggled after the break as Lumberton buckled down. They only had a combined seven points the rest of the game, five from Purdie. It included several missed layups.
"I don't know if they're tired or they're trying to do their own thing or whatever," Sampson said. "Those layups, that was a lack of focus. Down 20, you've got to make a layup."
Lumberton's game-changing break came 80 seconds into the third quarter. Holding onto a 48-39 lead, Justice Sampson hit two straight 3-pointers, followed by fastbreak layups from Y'Shawn Gaddy and Travis Suggs to go up 58-39 in less than a minute-and-a-half.
The lead got as high as 23 points before the end of the quarter and 25 in the fourth.
Sheridan's double-double led Lumberton. Travis Suggs also had 13 points and avoided fouling out despite picking up three in the first half. Sampson had 11, including three of Lumberton's five 3-pointers.
Maynor and Purdie had 15 points each for Purnell Swett, which lost its fourth straight game.
Monday's game, which was rescheduled from last week, kicks off a busy week for both teams, which are also playing league games today and Friday.
Lumberton girls win on late run
After leading by 13 points after three quarters against Purnell Swett, things got a bit too close for the Lumberton girls basketball team.
The Rams went on an 8-2 run behind post play from Alysa Hunt and were within striking distance.
"I told em to spread it and go to motion," said Lumberton coach Danny Graham.
The Pirates took the idea and ran with it, getting an 8-0 run in less than a minute to distance the teams as Lumberton (12-6, 3-2) put the finishing touches on a 59-42 win.
The run started with a 3-point play off a layup and free throw by Mariah Locklear that made it 45-34. A layup by Randi Bullard extended it and Locklear then did it again with another layup and free throw combo to go up 50-34.
The two provided the base of the Pirates' late offense. Bullard had a team-high 15 points, 11 of which came in the second half. Locklear had 14, including 10 in the fourth quarter.
Lumberton limited Swett's scoring and went up 28-17 at halftime, getting six points each from Alexis Andrews, Jasmine McBride and Azaya Graham in the first half.
Hunt was the only Ram (5-10, 0-5) to finish in double figures, scoring 17 points, including 12 of her team's 16 in the fourth quarter.
Red Springs sweeps South Columbus
RED SPRINGS — Rocio Pena found her touch from the arc, hitting five 3-pointers as the Red Springs girls (9-9, 7-2) beat South Columbus 49-20.
Pena finished with 19 points, complementing the work of Robyn McPhaul, who had 17 points, six rebounds, four assists and seven steals. The Red Devil defense never allowed more than six points in a quarter.
It was the team's fourth straight win and keeps Red Springs in second place in the conference standings.
The Red Springs boys also won 61-56 over South Columbus in a back-and-forth contest.
The Red Devils (13-5, 8-1) trailed at the end of the first and third quarters, but led at both halftime and the end of the game, outscoring the Stallions 21-12 in the fourth. Jared Foster led the Red Devils with 18 points. Jamison Baker had 16 and Tavion Atkinson had 15.
The Red Springs boys are second in the conference and will play at conference leader Fairmont tonight.
In other area games, St. Pauls was swept by Whiteville. The boys (3-14, 2-7) lost 80-36 and the girls (7-11, 5-4) lost 50-23. South Robeson was swept by East Columbus. The Mustang boys (2-12, 0-8) lost 65-46, the girls (4-9, 4-4) lost 53-23.

We want Films For Action to be the definitive place to watch "change the world" type films online. If you come across a great video that hasn't been added yet, we encourage you to add it! We're looking for quality over quantity, so only add the very best of the best, and filter out the rest. The usefulness of this resource will be as good as we make it.
We also encourage you to add independent news links, original articles, and action-oriented articles, as well as local events or groups if you live in a city that has a local chapter. Check out our F.A.Q. and Guide to Adding Content for more.
Help us get the word out about the project by handing out flyers to people in your city. Enlist the support of a few awesome friends and hit the streets! You can download quarter-page flyers or full-page posters that promote the website from our Downloads section. Print up a few hundred of each type at a copy center, get the flyers cut up, and pick a few busy places to hand them out and put the posters up. Downtown, on your college campus, at or after like-minded events, shopping centers, big outdoor events, or any other high-traffic areas where you can stand and hand out lots of flyers in a short amount of time are all good places to start. Email or call us if you have any questions or would like to brainstorm strategy. This is one of the best ways you can help the project grow.
Get your feet wet with a one-off film screening of one of your favorite "action" documentaries. Public film screenings are a great way to bring your community together to learn about important issues. You or someone comfortable with public speaking can lead a discussion afterwards to brainstorm ways your community can take action. You can also use a film event to help build momentum and enthusiasm for an existing campaign. Check out our guide to hosting film screenings for more.
Want to put your graphic design skills to work on some new flyer designs? We'd love to have your help developing new promotional materials for the website. Since our city chapters run on a tight budget, black & white quarter-page flyers or full-page posters printed on yellow paper are our go-to medium for getting the word out on the streets.

I have an assignment to alter a previous assignment (compounding interest over 10 years at 5%) by only using integers.
So i know that 5% is equal to dividing by 100 and multiplying by 5. And I know I have to convert it back from pennies to dollars. I tried using the Math.pow but it just gave me a lot more errors. I am just lost, I'm not very good at this. If someone could give me a hint and let me know where to go from here, I would appreciate it. Right now it just prints "Year Amount on Deposit" and then says:
1Exception in thread "main" java.util.IllegalFormatConversionException: f != java.lang.Integer

This is my code:
// Fig. 5.6: InterestTwo.java
// Compound interest calculations with for using only integers
public class InterestTwo
public static void main( String[] args )
int amount = 0; // amount on deposit at end of each year
int principal = 100000; // initial amount before interest
int rate = 5; // interest rate
//display headers
System.out.printf( "%s%20s\n", "Year", "Amount on deposit" );
// calculate amount on deposit for each of ten years
for ( int year = 1; year <= 10; year++ )
// calculate new amount for specified year
amount = principal / 100 * rate;
// display the year and the amount
System.out.printf( "%4d%,20.2f\n", year, amount );
} // end for
} // end main
} // end class InterestTwo.java
*sigh* thanks

Mystic Force: The Forgotten Ray Of Light
Prologue: Shocking Revelations
By: Pink-Green-White-4ever
Last Revised: March 19, 2007
Summary: Now that the battle with the Master is over, Daggeron must find his missing family. But what if they were right under his nose the entire time? Shocking revelations come that could split the Mystic Force forever.
Rated: T for now
Ships: NM,VX, CC, UL, DOC
Disclaimer: I don't own them, I wish I did.
Dedication: To Angel and Enigmaforum, my Maddick and Vander fans. You two inspired this story, thank you so much for being my cheerleaders!
AN: So yeah, I finally started my first full-fledged Mystic Force story….I didn't think this would ever happen. This idea is original, at least I think so. I haven't seen anyone else do it, so crosses fingers
The morning started like any other Saturday in the Rocca household had since the defeat of the Master and the retirement of the Mystic Force Rangers. Madison was up with the sun to shower, and after a tug-a-war with Vida's blankets to get the former Pink Ranger out of bed, Madison bounced downstairs to make breakfast. Once both of them were dressed in relatively warm clothes, and had eaten, they took Vida's truck to Chip's to grab the boys and head to The Rock Porium, where they'd leave the truck and use the trees to head to Rootcore for their morning training with Daggeron, and the newly returned Lianbow and Nick.
"You know, why is it we're running around the woods at seven in the morning in the bitter cold of March?" Xander complained as the five former Rangers took a break to catch their breaths. Each week, Daggeron had increased their running trail by a half mile, so that they were currently running three miles, and all of them were tired. Nick leaned against a tree, Madison standing next to him with her head on his shoulder. Chip was bent over at the waist, his hands on his knees as his chest heaved in an attempt to calm his breathing. Vida leaned against a fallen tree, trying to crack her neck while Xander stood in front of them with his arms spread wide, the gesturing accompanying his words.
"If you think so lightly of the run, Xander, you can repeat it again this afternoon," Daggeron's voice echoed through the trees. The five Rangers straightened and began looking around. Normally when their mentor popped up like this, it meant it was time for their hand to hand combat training. "You have a third of a mile left, I suggest you hurry up."
Taking in a deep breath, Chip, Nick and Madison began to run, while Vida rolled her eyes and glared at Xander. "Way to go, Xander the Great. We're probably going to get extra punishment now." Xander just stared at Vida's back as she took off after the others, before he followed a few seconds later.
Once the team had returned to Rootcore, Vida, Xander and Chip headed off back to The Rock Porium for their afternoon shifts while Madison headed to the library to catch up on some spell training with Clare. After a quick shower, Nick found himself wandering around, and happened across his parents and Daggeron in the main room standing by the Xenotome.
"Daggeron, are you sure this is a wise decision?" Lianbow asked the pacing knight.
"I've wanted to look for her since Madison freed me, but because of the battles and the threat of the Master, I didn't dare search her out," Daggeron told them. "I need to find her, find out what happened to her."
"Daggeron," Udonna spoke softly, moving lay a delicate hand over his heart. "You do realize any number of things could have happened by now, don't you?"
"Yes, I do, but I need to know, even if it's just for closure."
Lianbow walked to them and put his hand on Daggeron's shoulder. "Then you've got our full support, and all our resources are at your disposal."
The Solaris Knight smiled his thanks. "I'm going to leave immediately, please tell the Rangers I'll be back as soon as I can."
"We will," Udonna told him. "Do you want us to tell them why you've gone?"
"I'll explain to them the story about Elektra when I return with some more news." That said, Daggeron hugged them both and turned to leave.
"Lianbow, what are you thoughts on this?" Udonna asked, turning to her husband.
"I can understand where he's coming from," he said, pulling his wife into his arms. "It's the same as us – he's searching for his other half, for his wife, and he's not going to stop until he finds out what happened to her. The same as we did with each other, and Nick."
Standing out of sight, Nick let his jaw drop when he heard his father say wife. 'Daggeron was married?' he asked himself, before turning and heading for the library to get Madison.
"Are you serious?" Vida questioned as Nick stood near the cash register relating the situation to the others.
"I'm dead serious," Nick told them. "My dad is probably going to take over our training until Daggeron gets back."
Madison let out an indefinable sound. "Shouldn't we be doing something? I mean, we can help, right? There has to be something we can do."
The others looked just as annoyed at being helpless as the former Blue Ranger did. "Until we find out more about Daggeron's wife, we don't have much to go on," Chip commented.
"I've got an idea," Vida spoke up, a smirk sliding onto her face and her eyebrows wiggling. "Who knows what went on then that could tell us about her without telling us to mind our own business?"
Her four teammates stood there staring at her, shrugging. A noise broke them from their silence, the team turning to see the door to the store opening and Leelee and Phineas coming in together. Smiles broke out on the faces of the five, with Xander, Chip, Madison and Nick calling out, "PHINEAS!"
Vida just smiled and nodded, the five moving to pounce on their Troblin friend. "Hey Phineas, we've got something we need to ask you," Vida started.
"So let me get this straight, you want me, Troblin extraordinaire and the guy who was around during the Great War, to tell you what happened to Elektra, Daggeron's wife?" Phineas started as the group of six sat at a table at an outdoor café down the street from the record shop.
"Yes," Vida responded.
"Well, gee, I don't know if I remember an Elektra, to tell you the truth," he started, rubbing a hand over his chin. "That's nearly twenty years ago, a lot has happened since then."
Xander and Vida rolled their eyes, while Nick glared, Madison gave him an encouraging smile and Chip wrinkled his nose. "You knew about Daggeron's fight with Calindor and that the baby you brought here was Bowen, why can't you remember about Daggeron's wife?" Chip asked.
Phineas looked sheepish as he stared at the Rangers. "I sorta remember a woman," he told them. "She was okay looking, if you ask me. Really long black hair, always wore it in a braid. She had these gray-black eyes, was fairly tanned, slender, probably a little taller than Vida and Madison. She was a healer and a fighter, and some said she was a barb or musician, a storyteller if you will."
"What happened to her?" Xander prodded.
Phineas shrugged. "Last I heard, Calindor tried to capture her, turn her against the Mystics so he could render Daggeron useless, but she disappeared during the final battle." Phineas said it so matter-of-factly that the Rangers could only stare at him like he'd gone crazy. "What? I told you I didn't remember much, geez."
"Okay, so we have some more to go on," Nick started. "What do we do?"
Madison looked thoughtful. "How about heading to some of the villages around Rootcore?" she asked. "I mean, we've got her name, and what she did, and the fact that she's Daggeron's wife. The villagers have to know something, right?"
"I want to pose a question," Xander butted in. When the others turned to look at him, he started again. "What if something like what happened to Nick happened to her? What if she's here in the human realm?"

Borussia Dortmund general manager Hans-Joachim Watzke says the club will discuss any offers that come in for Robert Lewandowski.
The Polish striker is likely to attract plenty of interest in the summer, especially from Manchester United, and any proposals that do land in the Westfalenstadion inbox will be spoken about with the player according to Watzke.
Watzke told Aktuellen Sportstudio that any 'decent offers' received before May 15 will be discussed with he and his advisors but 'that does not mean that Robert will definitely change [clubs].'
Despite being tracked by United, Lewandowski has also emerged as a strong target for Bayern Munich after his agent Maik Barthel previously claimed his client was set to join the German champions.

Theatre Of Today - Leipzig Theaters
( Originally Published 1914 )
FOR the fiscal year of 1913 the Intendant of the Leipzig theaters, Geheimrat Max Martersteig, asked of the municipal counsel $250,000. This was, however, much larger than customary in Leipzig, due to the expense of the Wagner cycle arranged to celebrate the centenary of Wagner's birth in Leipzig.
The Leipziger Buhne has collected the following recent data as to Municipal subsidies in Germany. The amounts are given for the month, and in marks (four marks equalling a dollar). Mannheim, 57,610 marks per month ; Freiburg, 51,130; Frankfurt, 46,690; Breslau, 41,834; Düsseldorf, 36,313; Cologne, 35,644; Essen, 32,616; Dortmund, 26,213; Augsburg, 24,657; Barmen, 21,576; Aschen, 18,280; Magdeburg, 13,356; Kiel, 13,092 ; Lübeck, 12,919.
Material collected several years ago by Mr. William Archer, of London, shows the following Continental subsidies: Expended by the French government in Paris for the Comédie Francaise, $48,000; Odéon (not strictly a national theatre), $20,000; Opéra, $160,000 ; Opéra Comique, $60,000 ; $5,000 to the pension fund of the Opéra; $9,200 for the library of the Opéra ; in all $347,200. In addition to this the government pays for the maintenance of the theatre buildings, and expends nearly $50,000 annually for musical education (outside of the public schools) in Paris and the provinces. The city of Paris also subsidises two municipal theatres.
Municipal subsidies in the French provinces : Lyons, $50,000; Bordeaux, $50,000 ; Toulouse, $50,000 Rouen, $25,000 ; Vichy, $60,000 ; Nantes, $20,000 ; Toulon, $20,000; Rennes, $20,000; Lille, $20,000. These figures, of course, may vary year by year.
Other European subsidies: Berlin Royal Opera House, $225,000; Berlin Royal Theater, $50,000; Hamburg, Cassel and Wiesbaden Royal opera houses, $45,000 each (the amount varying between them from year to year, according to special needs). Vienna Royal Opera House, $142,500; Vienna Burgtheater, $130,000.
Messrs. William Archer and Granville Barker, in their book, "Plans and Estimates for an English National Theatre," made detailed estimates for a theatre of adequate proportions but economic management. A digest of their figures shows $23,000 a year to be expended for the general directing staff; $143,885 for the performers; $16,885 for the "front of house;" $19,500 for the music staff; $51,385 "behind the scenes;" and $47,540 for general expenses; making a total yearly expenditure of $302,195. This was to cover the expenses of 365 performances extending through 48 weeks, and came to 8885 a performance, exclusive of authors' royalties, which it was estimated would bring the expense up to $980. It was estimated that a stable national theatre would require an initial expenditure and guarantee fund totalling to $1,650,000.

The blogs and pundits — self-proclaimed and otherwise — labeled Smith as a good value in a good situation.
The Bucs signed stop-gap starter Josh McCown, who will be 35 by Week 1, to a two-year contract and their backup is a second-year player who apparently didn't do enough to hold down the job.
(Personally, I thought Mike Glennon was impressive in his rookie season and should be Tampa's guy long-term, but I didn't write "QB analyst" or "Draft guru" under my Twitter bio, so maybe it's not my place to say.)
The consensus was Smith, just 21, had a chance to stick in Tampa.
But less than two weeks later, on the morning of May 21, Smith was released along with two other players so the Bucs could sign, among others, journeyman quarterback Alex Tanney.
You might know Tanney, a 26-year-old Division III product, as the guy from YouTube who can throw a football with great accuracy from library rooftops in an unknown number of takes. This is who was more desirable than Smith.
Within an hour of the news hitting Twitter, Wyoming fans responded like bitter exes who are almost happy their formerly beloved QB has a reason to rethink his decision to leave Laramie.
This column was finalized on Friday, and Smith may have already found a new employer over the weekend.
But Smith's choice to test the NFL waters can't be judged on whether or not he actually succeeds in the pros, but whether or not it gave him the best chance to succeed. The only thing that matters is that the process in deciding to declare for the draft was sound.
Smith, of average size and a mid-major conference, had to leave school when his draft stock was at its peak, and if he believed his stock would never soar higher than after his junior year he made the right decision.
Smith can always return to school (albeit not to play football) but had only one chance to declare for the 2014 draft.
As a non-Wyoming fan it's easy for me to say Smith probably got out at the right time. But if I dreamed in brown and gold I might be of the opinion that Smith bailed on my team and is now facing the karmic consequences.
From an objective football fan's perspective it's hard to blame Smith for trying his luck this year.
His choices were (a) enter the 2014 draft after putting up monster numbers while knowing his name would likely get buried in 2014's QB-deep pool, or (b) return to an uncertain situation in Laramie that was almost guaranteed to be less conducive to his skill set — and quarterbacks in general.
When Wyoming fired head coach Dave Christensen on Dec. 1 the team lost a proven offensive mind. The consistency and bowl wins that Cowboy fans expected never came, but Christensen knew how to utilize Smith and score a lot of points.
It took a coach like Christensen to make it possible for Smith to even sniff the draft as an atypical quarterback for a mediocre mid-major team.
New head coach Craig Bohl might end up leading the UW football program to more success than Christensen did, but it's hard to imagine a coach who has built his reputation on running and defense guiding a UW quarterback to a season that interests NFL scouts.
With Bohl at the helm Smith knew his NFL prospects were not going to be greater than they were right then, and staying for his senior season, though great for Wyoming and its fans, could only hurt his shot at a pro career.
A new offensive scheme and the ever-lurking threat of injuries were more than enough to push Smith into the draft.
Throughout this we have to keep in mind that maybe Smith just isn't an NFL quarterback. Not this year, or the next, as a Wyoming Cowboy or the product of another school (not that he had many options). But if it was ever going to happen, this was the time to try.
It hasn't worked out yet. But it doesn't have to for Brett Smith's three-and-out to be the right choice.

Drama department presents black box performance
Published 2:05 pm, Tuesday, October 7, 2014
Lone Star College-Montgomery's drama department and Delta Psi Omega theater honor society presents Speech & Debate in the Black Box Theatre on Oct. 9-11 at 7 p.m. and at 3 p.m. on Oct. 11. Tickets start at $5.
