America's happiest seaside town?
BEAUFORT, S.C. — In America's happiest seaside town, it's legal to beat your wife on the courthouse steps. But only on Sundays.
The law is certainly archaic (if not apocryphal), but it's the sort of nugget you might seize on as a counterpoint to the outward perfection of this quintessential Southern town. Indeed, Coastal Living magazine proclaimed Beaufort the nation's Happiest Seaside Town earlier this year, citing "Lowcountry friendliness and urban refinement … antebellum architecture, exquisite local cuisine, and rich African-American heritage."
In nominating towns, editors considered qualities such as rankings in the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, as well as the number of sunny days, beach health, walkability and intangibles such as "coastal vibe."

Beaufort (pronounced BYOO-fort) possesses all those attributes, though strictly speaking, it isn't seaside. It lies on Port Royal Sound and the banks of the brackish Beaufort River. Open water is 16 miles east of the historic town center, where Hunting Island State Park sports 3 miles of pristine beachfront, acres of woodland and a historic lighthouse.
Set in the heart of South Carolina's Sea Islands, Beaufort has a walkable downtown that boasts art galleries, bookstores and antiques shops. Restaurants serve fresh-off-the-boat seafood and classic Lowcountry cuisine such as thick, spicy gumbos and just-picked collard greens. And a sprawling waterfront park doubles as a stage for live concerts.
History here is as palpable as a Lowcountry breeze blowing through the salt marshes. Roots run deep in downtown Beaufort, designated a National Historic Landmark, as well as on nearby St. Helena Island, home to a rich Gullah heritage nurtured by slave descendents.

"You're a comeyeah," Kelly McGowan tells a woman in the back seat of her van as she shuttles passengers past stately Federal, Greek Revival and neoclassical homes along Bay Street. "Just because you've been here 20 years doesn't make you a beanyeah."
The passenger on McGowan's Spirit of Old Beaufort tour isn't about to contest the point.
"My daddy's a beanyeah. My mother's a beanyeah. We've beanyeah since the 1700s," McGowan continues.
Comeyeah, she explains, is local vernacular for "come here," or newcomer. Beanyeah translates "been here," referring to locals. But in the state's second oldest city (after Charleston), beanyeah status isn't causally conveyed.
The Spanish arrived in the early 1500s but failed to make a go of it. The French later met a similar fate. In 1711, the British established the first successful settlement, despite attacks from Yemasee Indians. (The town's oldest house, said to date to 1717, still has holes that supposedly were designed as rifle slots for defense against Indian attacks.)
But for all this layered history, it's the Civil War — or, "the recent unpleasantness," as McGowan calls it — that still resonates with many.
"Down here there's only one war," says college student and Beaufort native Collin Davidson. "My granddad is still sorta bitter about it. He was actually born in Pennsylvania, but that's a deep, dark secret."
Davidson is strolling under a canopy of Spanish-moss-draped live oaks in the historic Old Point neighborhood. With its magnificent old homes and gracious gardens, it's one of Beaufort's loveliest.
"I've heard stories of people finding (Civil War-era) arm bones in their yards and bullets with teeth marks on them," he says.
Beaufort was the first — and last — Confederate town occupied by Union troops during the war. They arrived in 1861, causing 1,400 residents — among them, wealthy owners of cotton plantations on nearby St. Helena Island — to flee. Ironically, the Northerners' long occupation helped ensure Beaufort's preservation. Some homes were confiscated and converted into Union hospitals. Of 7,500 casualties buried in the town's National Cemetery, just 117 are Confederates.
Across the Beaufort River on St. Helena Island, 55 cotton plantations were home to 10,000 enslaved Africans who became classified as "contraband" after Union troops arrived in Beaufort. Because they were largely left to themselves after — and even before — the owners fled, their language, a Creole English dialect called Gullah, survived, along with many of their West African tribal rituals.
Penn Center, one of the first schools for former slaves, was established in 1862. Today, the site is a 50-acre National Historic Landmark District with 19 original buildings. Its museum offers a fascinating view into the island's Gullah culture.
"This is the beginning of education for the freemen of the South," says Victoria Smalls, the center's director of historical and cultural programs and a native of the island.
The spot also figures into civil rights history as a place where early movement leaders gathered, and where Martin Luther King Jr. wrote part of his "I Have a Dream" speech.
Hollywood discovered Beaufort with the filming of The Great Santini, released in 1979. It was based on the novel by longtime resident Pat Conroy, who's still a fixture around town. Enough notable films — The Big Chill and Forrest Gump, among others — followed, to spark the creation of drive-by tours of on-location sites.
Guides like Carly Ware of the Beaufort Movie Tour dish about celebrities who have spent time in town. For every Barbra Streisand-as-diva story, there's a Tom Hanks-as-mensch anecdote. (Streisand is said to have called the nearby Beaufort Marine air station and asked the commanding officer to suspend flights so they would not disturb her Prince of Tides film crew. "The noise you hear is the sound of freedom," he reportedly replied. Hanks was accessible and friendly, posing for photos with newlyweds exiting a church.)

Other sorts of artists predate the movie makers' arrivals. Beaufort has been an art mecca since the late 1800s, notes J.W. Roane, executive director of the local arts council.
But is it a happy arts town?
"It's special. The spreading oaks and Spanish moss give it a romantic nature. It's hard to break in — all of us comeyeahs are reconciled that we're among the beanyeahs," says the decade-long resident. "But people come to Beaufort because it's beautiful. And yes, you could say it's the happiest seaside place."

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The world is celebrating Nelson Mandela Day with acts of community service and messages of goodwill to the former South African president who remains hospitalized on his 95th birthday. Here are some of the international events:
UNITED NATIONS: The U.N. hosted an informal General Assembly in honor of Mandela with former United States President Bill Clinton and co-prisoner and Mandela friend Andrew Mlangeni scheduled to speak. U.N. staff also helped to rebuild homes in Long Island destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.
WASHINGTON: The Congressional Black Caucus celebrated the life and legacy of Mandela at the Emancipation Hall in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center. House Speaker John Boehner and South Africa's ambassador to the United States Ebrahim Rasool were among guests slated to speak at the ceremony.
NEW YORK: The Tribeca Film Institute partnered with the Nelson Mandela Foundation to commemorate Mandela Day with a video display in Times Square and a meeting in Duffy Square. A picture of a Mandela portrait by South African artist Paul Blomkamp with the words "Happy 95th Birthday Madiba!" was featured on a Times Square monitor throughout the day.
TORONTO: A community celebration featuring live music and family activities was at the Nelson Mandela Park Public School.
PARIS: The South African embassy in Paris hosts its annual Nelson Mandela Day drive to collect clothes, toys and non-perishable food items for charity. The embassy accepts donations until Aug. 31. The Hotel de Ville hosts a free exhibition, "Nelson Mandela: from Prisoner to President," where visitors can learn about Mandela's journey through films, photographs and sculptures. The exhibition will run through July 6.
ROME: An exhibit about Mandela's life at an anti-racism center was visited by South Africa's ambassador to Italy, Nomatemba Tambo.
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION: Three astronauts from the International Space Station honored Mandela in a video message that included words from Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama and Bill and Hillary Clinton, among others.
"Nelson Mandela is the symbol of what humankind must strive for: Peace, brotherhood and a common goal to better every life on this planet. Our work here on the International Space Station mirrors exactly what Mr. Mandela spent his life trying to accomplish," astronaut Karen Nyberg said for the group.

Impressive Eco-Friendly Home in Denver, Colorado Featuring Strong Architectural Shapes
Sustainability started to become a major issue these days. A home has to be energy efficient and made of eco-friendly materials in order to give you that "green state of mind". In order to celebrate the awareness that a sustainable home means a planet less polluted, we are presenting you an interesting project, developed by the Scandinavian designer, Heidi Mendoza, owner of RE.DZINE. Green Cube Show Home, located in Denver, Colorado is one of her finest residential projects. She managed to combine brilliantly tastes and different lifestyles in order to obtain a tailor-made modern design solution.
The structure features strong architectural shapes (a cube) that adds a touch of colour and volume. The staircase that connects the floors is made of glass and steel, allowing transparence. At the end of the staircase, there's the top of the house. A beautiful terrace welcomes you with a delightful view over the city's skyline. The spot is absolutely perfect for a romantic brunch in two or for bringing your ideas together. The Green Cube got the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum certificate.

"huh? do they have cameras set up around the place or something?" Guy whispered looking at them pointing to the screens.
"i reckon if we suprise the first 2, the others should be okay to handle"
Holly nods. "Right... Okay, surprise. I'll Shoot the one on the left. You take the one on the right. On the count of three." Holly drew an 'arrow' back slowly, keeping quiet. "One... Two... Three!" As she said three, Holly slipped around the corner, Firing her lightning arrow straight at the Left side undead, before jumping backwards to avoid any swings from the other.

OOC: I was going to wait for mrpineapple to describe what Guy was going to try and do, but I bet I can guess.
Again at close range Holly's arrow manages to smack the creature in the head and send it toppling over backwards. There is no time to ready another bolt before the second creature strikes, but Holly was ready for that and her impressive agiliy allows her to dodge back out of the way. That brought the creature even closer to Guy, who lunges out and grabs it by the throat, throwing it to the ground and (OOC: Up to Guy whether he wants to reactivate his ability again here by going for the bark handed head smash).
Richard and Niu charge out after Holly and Guy. Of the remaining dead, the ex-woman who seems to be in charge is running away towards a different hallway, and the four other armed dead are rushing toward you. For their part the living people are just startled, as if they aren't sure what's happening or who is more likely to try and kill them.
With her Three friends in the way of the dead, Holly Had time enough to Draw back an Arrow. There were four dead, And the four of them. Holly raised her 'bow' up and Aimed at one dead (Ooc- Assuming thr others move to engage, aiming for the free one), Before releasing the lightning bolt. Looking over at the Shocked people, She flashed them her friendliest Smile, before activating heat ability.

@Kaname Shikara and @JimmyTheCannon
OOC: My last post to you guys just for reference.
<We are out of time! I've tried...everything I can, but I am not yet strong enough a we are out of time! We must get beyond the storm soon or we shall never leave once they have completed their ritual. I think I am strong enough to get us beyond the storm, but I need you two to quickly create a canoe or raft, it does not have to be pretty. Meet me here.>
An image suddenly appears of the coast of the island near where Kaname first met Kayl. There are trees there near the cliffs that go down to the water. It's a downhill run from where you are to there.
OOC: If either of you is really active you could of course do whatever, including more with the house. Otherwise the creatures inside are not so quick, and the bigger one won't stray too far from the house without. Even holding Jane, Jimmy is quite the leaper, and Kaname got that freerunning advantage after being trained by Jimmy. Shishe can run on three legs until she gets a chance to regenerate and Jennifer can run through obsticles. And in either case most dead wouldn't bother with Shishe or Jennifer anyway. So you're well equipped to get out of town.
"Hey, no manhandling!" Jessica cried indignantly as Kapella started pushing them back towards the jeeps.
"How dare you question my golf cart flying abilities!!" Mana exclaimed with equal vehemency to one of the Federation men. "I mean... Wait, Kapella. What was that you were saying about a DeHavilland? Because I-"
But her words were drowned out by another wave of questions from the crowd around them. After a moment or two of being jostled around in a tide of endless questions and Kapella's swearing, Jessica decided she had had quite enough and, taking Mana by the hand, she pushed her way out of the throng, pulling the smaller girl along with her.
"Change of plans," Jessica announced. "Let's go find Fee and the others and get them moving before we get lynched."
"And if worse comes to worse, we can use Fee as a human shield against Kapella," Mana added, nodding fervently. "I love the way your mind works."
"You might not want Kapella overhearing you guys talk about Fee that way," Michael said lightly, sidling up to them as they cleared the outer edge of the group that had been surrounding them.
"I can take Kapella," Jessica said with a toss of her head. "And some help you were back there," she added acidly.
"Now, now, Jess," Mana said quickly. "Play nice."
"Yeah, sorry 'bout that," Michael said with a sheepish grin. "I was having a conversation."
"You were by yourself!" Jessica said.
"Yeah, I was having a conversation with myself," Michael said matter-of-factly.
Mana and Jessica exchanged glances before Jessica looked away with perused lips and Mana muttered something that sounded like "not one to talk" under her breath.
"So!" Michael burst out. "What's going on? Are we leaving?"
"We are trying to leave-" Jessica began.
"Before the lynching," Michael cut in. Jessica shot him a scathing look which he didn't seem to notice.
"Yes, before the lynching," Mana agreed quickly. "Lynching is never nice. We're going to go get Fee and Kara and her friend. We didn't see them amongst the people congregating around Kapella or the jeeps, so we were wondering what they were up to."
"Oh, I think I heard Kara saying something about making something to attach to the jeeps so more people could sit. Or something like that..." Michael said. "Look! There they are!" he added pointing to the four figures in the distance.
Kara and Luna seemed to be stripping a shed while Fee and a girl the girls didn't know were standing near a boat trailer that had planks of wood placed across the bottom. Michael ran over to Fee and Leilani and began to talk spiritedly to them. Mana and Jessica chose to approach Kara and Luna.
"You guys need a hand with anything?" Jessica called out as they neared the pair. "I think everyone wants to get a move on. So we should probably be snappy about anything we're doing."
"hey, don't let the main one get away!" Guy cried out and made a move after them - but was blocked by the oncoming dead. Guy aimed a sharp uppercut to the jaw of one nearest him and afterwards, a powerful kick to the next in line.
@Esiphas and @mrpineapple
Guy wallops the first creature with a hard hit to the head, breaking a jaw and sending it rolling accross the ground. Guy tries to get out of the swing of the next but gets caught by the head of the wrench in the chest, however it was only a glancing blow and guy whrils around and lands a kick on the creatures leg that breaks its knee. Sending it also to the ground.
Niu had charged forward aggressively again. However this time it did not work so well for her and, though she blocked partially, she still takes a large hammer to the head, knocking her off her feet. Richard was just behind her, and swings at the creature that had just hit Niu, taking off one of its arms below the shoulder.
As this is going on Holly has managed to flash a smile around, and, frustratingly slowly, another lightning arrow forms in Holly's arms and zooms past her frinds in the fight toward the female creature running away. The creature was trying to move fast and dodge, but Holly's aim was just too good and fries the creature.
As the creature goes down the sixth dead, which was on the other side of the room, suddenly doesn't seem nearly so interested in your group and instead lunges toward the nearest living person, who happens to be a lady that was trying to hide in the corner by a doorway on the other side of the room.
So that leaves the two creatures Guy damaged, which are starting to get off the ground. The one creature Richard axed who he is still facing. One undamamaged dead charging at your group so that Guy could engage them. And the last attacking a lady on the other side of the room.
Holly grinned as she killed the running dead, before realizing what the other dead was doing, and running towards it, shouting 'Oi!' as loud as she can, followed by "Guy, Get the Undamaged one!" As she sprinted over, Holly started up her melee Abilitys, Heat radiating from her palms, as she went in for a melee attack.
Kara and Luna looked up from the trailer. "Uhh... Sure I guess. Every hand can be helpful." Kara went back to working on the trailer, whilst Luna directed the others to attach the netting walls. As soon as that was done, Kara began to push the trailer towards the jeep, directing the others to help her.

Guy nodded briefly and stepped over the two he had just knocked down - giving one of them a shove as he passed.
taking a long draw back, Guy lunged forward and attempted to smack the undamaged one straight in the stomach
(OOC: Sorry vnv*)
Fee was hesitating to answer Leilani, but they were interrupted unexpectedly by Micheal, so pranced over with Mana and Jessica, who joined the other trailer builders. Micheal was babbling with so much zeal that Fee could barely focus on what he was saying. His energy was astounding and she couldn't help but chuckle. Their first encounter felt like ages ago. Fee gave his shoulder a pat and then let her hand rest there.
"Since you have so much energy, why don't you help Leilani and me finish building a passneger trailer?" she said, giving him a small smile. She turned to her gaze back to Leilani. "We should hurry. We need to leave soon."
samba bamba, llama momma.
need a new set, feel free to offer. :3
@Red&Stiletto @suzumi and and @Esiphas
Michael did a passable job of using wire to attached the netting to the boat trailer. At least that ought to keep the old and infirm from falling out.
As the group starts gathering around the trailer to push it up to the Jeeps and the crowd, Leilani looks up and see Kapella heading over their way.
"Hey Fee!" He says, getting a little out of breath. Leilani looks at Fee for a moment, perhaps trying to judge her reaction and then says. "Don't worry, I'll get you a little space, at least for a while." turns toward Kapella and moves to intercept him and the crowd. She's too far away to overhear and she never really speaks that loudly, but she's turning them back towards the Jeeps and actually sort of pushing Kapella that way.
@Esiphas and @mrpineapple
Guy rushes forward however his attempt to bowl over the dead actually results in him taking a thrust to the chest, partially knocking the wind out of him. Holly dodges around between that fight and Richards combat but isn't going to be able to get to the dead attacking the lady in time, unless she can fend off that chunk of metal it's holding for a bit.
However, as Guy reaches out to fend of the creature he's fighting, without even exactly meaning to do it more that it seems to trigger on what he's trying to achieve, Guy activates his wind power. There aren't any windows in here, but still the control room and the hallways suddenly become a wind tube.
Crewmen a blown a little but, but the creature that just hit guy, the one that was about it hit the lady, Holly, and the lady about to get hit all get blasted around. And Fall down. The lady was already near the corner so she just slumps down into it. And dead that was right in front of Guy stumbles and falls on it's rear, moving to get up quickly.
Holly however handles getting blasted off her feet with her characteristic agility, tucking into a roll and coming up with much of her momentum. She's on top of the creature on the far end of the room before it can regain its balance and jums her hands into its chest, creating a sizzling sound.
Richard and the creature he was up against were outside the area of Guy's ability. Richard is screaming and swinging wildly with his ax. Luckily the creature was already down and arm and Richard manages to connect with it's chest and drive it to the ground.
The creatures Guy knocked down earlier are getting up, though the one with the broken leg can't stand. Still, Guy is now surrounded.
On the ground Niu twitches and manages to move an arm and roll over, but she's still not quite right.
Some of the guys in the room seem to be getting the idea that you're going after the dead and not them and ....well at least they look like they're thinking of fighting maybe, they don't have anything that would make a good weapon, though one of them picks up a rolling chair and moves towards the creature that just hit Guy.
OOC: Hope you don't mind that Mrpineapple. It's just things weren't working out like I think you wanted to, and it occured to me this would be a good time for your ability instead of asking if you wanted to use Karma or something. Note that you can only use that ability once per fight unless it's a quite long fight, though you can keep it going longer, but I figured Guy wouldn't want to blow Holly down the hall.
Last edited by sunnyside; 02-02-2013 at 06:35 PM.
OOC: it's cool.
"woah" Guy staggered about "sorry about that" and regained his composure.
Guy took advantage of the fact the dead around him were rising and regained tried dealing a crippling blow with a kick to one of their chests.
seeing the crew member approach, guy called out "go for the one that can't stand. it's safer and i won't have to worry about him!"
Holly barely realised what she'd pulled off until she had her. Hand inside the creatures stomach, burning its guts. Moving her hand up, so her hand was torching whatever brain it had left, she chuckled. "Adrenaline rush..." She said, whilst silently thanking the heavens she oil don't really feel the burning entrails. Hey... petani... You can't feel all the guts in there can you? I don't want you feeling all horrible. Looking down to the woman she'd been trying to save, holly managed a breathless grin.

OOC: Here I thought being double teemed might get Guy at least wounded or down a little karma but he's running lucky.
IC; The dead approach Guy, dropping their two handed weapons in favor of their knives.
The crewmen hear Guy's words and start getting helping...though not so effectively with their light chairs and objects around the room. Still, they manage to partially pin down the one with the broken leg with chairs, and one of the two attacking Guy is at least slowed up a bit by a flury of books and a trash can hitting it which prevents Guy from being effectively flanked and double teamed.
He manages to land a nasty kick on the first creature before it can stab him. It goes flying back with some cracked ribs. The other one then manages to get close to Guy, however Guy grabs and twists it's arm as it tries to stab him. With his other hand Guy lands a blow on it's already damaged skull cracking it further and driving it to the ground. Another blow while it's against the floor mooshes it's head.
Over on the side Richard flails away with his axe at the creature on the ground he's up against.
Inside Holly Petani says "I sort of can. But it didn't even come to me to be bothered by a ting like that after what I've been through."
Some that hadn't been fighting managed to get ahold of the weapons of some of the first creatures you hit near the entryway.
Alright, you can finish the rest of the fight of cinimatically since there are just damaged dead left and the crewmen are getting involved and armed. Richard is a bit crazed at the moment, and Niu is still down, but is sort of wiggling in a semi coordinated manner.
"wurgh" Guy made a noise as he cracked the dead's skull and it splattered around the nearby area.
Guy finished off the dead nearby and ran to Richards aid, trying to interrupt his concentration long enough that they could switch places
@Esiphas and @mrpineapple
When Guy touches Richard, the poor guy nearly jumps out of his skin for being startled and looks for a moment like he might swing. But then calms down rapidly as he sees things are under control.
Then he quickly gets on the ground over by Niu and says "Niu! Say something! Are you OK!"
She manages to mumble "mrfrglrphl erm okrmph"
For their part the crew mostly looks stunned and unsure.
Well... If it starts getting to you, let me know, okay? And you can ta lk to me you know. You've been quiet for a while. With that, holly drew back another arrow, and executes the dead she had been fighting. "Is that all of them?" She calls to anyone capable of hearing her, before offering a solid hand to thewoman on the floor.

@Esiphas and @mrpineapple
Holly feels a warm sort of emotional hug and "hears" Petani think. "Thanks. I'll remember that. This has all been so much, I guess I've gotten used to just sort of fading out since you haven't needed me to move for a while."
The woman on the ground can't stop staring at Holly's hand as it goes from immaterial to solid, and yet clearly not her own, with the change from Holly's youthful body to Petani's eldarly and darker skinned hand. However after an awkward moment or two of that the woman seems to be embarrassed and turns a little red as she say "Oh oh I'm sorry. Thank you. Thank you so much!" and takes Holly's hand, allowing herself to be pulled up.
Looking around Holly and Guy see the crewmen taking up weapons from the floor and thwacking the dead. It occurs to you that you've taken down enough of these creatures that you gotten used to them twitching and moving around innefectually even after massive head and body trauma. However that might be new for the crew, so they're laying into the bodies.
After the bodies are clearly so broken they aren't a threat the crew finally starts talking.
One of them says "So it's over?! We're saved!?! "
An older crewmen says "Hey, who are you people? Are you even people? Have you taken over the ship and we can go home, or are you just pissing them off and we'll get swarmed by ghosts once you leave?"
Someone else butts in and asks "And what's going on with the rest of the ship? Are there still lots of people on it?"
FYI based on their uniforms you can tell that these are engineering crew, as opposed to upper deck crew that might serve dinner. You can now see the screens they've been watching. They're all looking at various machines or engineering level hallways with pipes all along the walls, no areas that passengers would be able to access, and it doesn't seem like their purpose is security, rather that they might want to know if a machine in malfunctioning or a pipe is leaking.
Holly smiled to the lady again. "No worries." turning to the others, she raised her hands. "Right, slow down. We're here looking for a Creature named Ramone, a sort of shark-Human hybrid. I'm assuming he's in harge of the smart creatures, like the one who tied to run earlier. They seem to be in control of the other creatures-like how they turned on you once I killed it. I recommend you head to he theatre at the end of the ship, and see if ou can sneak backstage. Use any of the maintenance shafts you know, and hide backstage. When we get back, we'll be leaving that way. Don't tr to get on the boat without us though-the monsters in the water seem to be keeping their distance from us, and you won't be able to get away from all this unless We're with you- One of us has the key to passing the hurricane wall."

Guy watches as the expressions on the crewmembers faces go from cautiously happy to horrified as Holly starts talking about sneaking around the back of the ship. The lady who Holly just helped up looks pale and like she might just go down again.
One of the men, a smaller fellow who looks like he might be from the Carribean, mumbles "I went up early when things started happening, there were so many, and people were dying."
A different one adds. "And the ghosts can come from nowhere. I used to know the people we just smashed on the floor. They were making us work on the ship, but they were sort of protecting us too."
The older one who was asking all the questions looks thoughtful and says "You know. If you have a way out of the hurricane or whatever is out there, could we just sail this thing out past it? I mean do you think things are normal out there? Or at least maybe other people fighting that aren't trapped and local coast guard or something? You'd just have to take the captain's station. Maybe with one of us along...or maybe even not that, it's basically joysticks up there, you wouldn't have to be all fancy with the stabilizers and trim, just turn the thing. "
Richard is holding Niu but paying attention. "You know...I think maybe I could. "
On the ground, if anyone is looking, Niu does a weird thing where an eye that was sitting at a weird angle sort of rotates around and stops where it normally would. She says "Ugh. That sucked. I guess I need to watch out for my head."
Richards attention turns back to Niu as he gives her a huge smile and ads "Yeah. Maybe be just a little careful huh? I'll keep an eye out for a helmet."
"We could, bu then we'd be sailing a ship of the dead straight ino an area that might be perfectly safe. We could press this to the rest of the world. I can't take that chance. As for the ghosts, here are D&D there too. They're making grls dance, like they madhouse work. They're protecting them too, but if yur quiet, you should b able to survive down there a short while." Holly gve them her best winning smile. "Come on you guys! This could work! It will work. Just show some faith, and you'll make it."
Im on Team Evil! Are you?

@Esiphas and @mrpineapple
The crewmembers look crestfallen when Holly speaks one of them says "Maybe. Maybe you're right. But I think there are quite a few people still alive on the ship. But...yeah maybe we just need to not tell them and hope things work out."
Niu looks sad at that, and Richard says "Oh that's right, you worked on this ship as well."
One of the other crewman says "I've done some stuff with the other groups, they've been moving food around down here. I heard about the dancers, there are people in the casino, a bunch of people belowdecks in engineering and food prep, and then there are people in the fancy dining room up in the front of the ship, I think a lot of girls there too. I don't know, maybe we could try and grab somebody else? At least maybe the girls in the back if we can leave from there. "
The little carribean guy says "I know where some blow torches and bolt cutters are. I'm pretty sure we can get into the theatre from blow using those. "
The lady Esipahs helped up says " We have some paint and tape, maybe we could make little hidden marks so that these people can find their way to where we cut into the theater. Maybe little arrows on the ceiling? Wait, but why can't we just go now?"
Holly smiles. "that's the spirit! Working together, you'll be out of here in no time. We'll pass the message on to any other survivors we see, tell theme head that way too. Arrows on the ceiling sounds good- most of these creatures aren't smart enough to follow a signal, but the ones that are aren't the brightest anyway. I doubt they'll look up. As for why we can't go now... I need to settle this. I need to get rid of that Ramone guy, before he does to anyone else what he did to me." she holds up her ghost arm "Or what he did to petani here. He plays rough, and people shouldn't die for that."
Im on Team Evil! Are you?

Guy nodded his head soundlessly for the length of the conversation, it was only at the end when he piped in. "Id love to save everyone, but we can only try our best".
he was secretly concerned about the ones they had met backstage earlier.

Baked Mexican Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
A few weeks ago, I was adding in the thyme and oregano to my favorite homemade mozzarella sticks when it suddenly occurred to me — why are cheese sticks always made with Italian seasonings? Mexican food includes mozzarella all the time. Why not give this cheese stick recipe a try…Mexi-style?!?
So I did.
And I'm pretty sure that if you should too.
These turned out SO well!!! For the Mexi twist, I added in chili powder, cumin, oregano and a pinch of cayenne in place of the traditional Italian seasonings. And then when baked with Panko, I love that they were super crispy but not fried. (So hey, you can enjoy them all the more!) Finally, in place of marinara, I subbed in some of my favorite salsa. A match made in foodie heaven.
Can't wait to try these again soon!
Baked Mexican Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
Mozzarella cheese sticks go "Mexican" in this easy, delicious and lighter recipe!
Begin by unwrapping each piece of string cheese, and then cutting them all in half. Place evenly on a plate and freeze until frozen, at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray lightly with olive oil.
Set up your prep line for the cheese sticks. Fill the first bowl with the flour. Fill the second bowl with the beaten egg. Then fill the third bowl with the panko, chili powder, cumin, garlic salt and oregano, and whisk those five ingredients together until evenly mixed.
Remove the frozen pieces of string cheese, and one by one dunk each first in the flour mixture until evenly coated, then the egg, then carefully roll in the panko mixture. Be sure that all sides of the cheese are coated in breadcrumbs, then gently place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining breadcrumbs.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and just begins to seep out. Remove and serve immediately with your favorite salsa.
If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #gimmesomeoven. I'd love to see what you cook!

yum, yum, YUM!!! no doubt in my mind i'll be giving these a go this holiday season!
They look delish, I might make a southwestern greek yogurt dip as well with these. Thinking of these for the next family get together:)
These sound yummy!! However, am a bit confused . . . the list of ingredients includes 5 tbsp of Italian breadcrumbs, yet the directions do not say anything about what to do with them. I am assuming that the panko bread crumbs should be used instead of the italian breadcrumbs?
These sound simply fabulous!
Such an awesome idea! I love crispy baked mozzarella sticks and I can't wait to try this version with all those yummy Mexican flavours too!
Hmmmm…I wonder if these would work with vegan mozza and egg substitute? Definitely worth trying. They look AMAZING.
Oh my, that's GENIUS. The husband would devour all of these in a sitting (which is why I'll have to make them in secret ;).
These sound SOOOO good! & the photos? Holy smokes! GORGEOUS :)
Honey. Child. Yes.
oh yum! Mexican food is the favorite in this house! These sound SO GOOD! We'll definitely have to give them a try!
These look delicious! I'll take mozzarella in basically any form. I've considered injecting it, so I can get my fix even faster.
Mexican food and cheese – two of my favorite things!
I am so gonna try these out! Love me some cheese :)
Y.E.S. Why have I never thought of this! Perfect!
Yummy, yummy YUMMY!!!! 8D
Yum! Don't show Tanner these! He will have a new addiction :)
This is the best idea for a mozzarella stick I think I have ever seen!!
Yum, what a great appetizer!

Hi! Of course I just found this recipe on Pinterest ;) And was wondering the answer to what someone else already asked…the recipe lists the Italian breadcrumbs & the Panko but doesn't say what to do with the Italian breadcrumbs in the instructions…could you clarify? Thanks! They look fabulous!
What a great idea for a healthier cheese snack! Really like that they are baked, not fried. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!

End the chapter, turn the page
It's hard for us to know what to make of the 2008 season at this point. We spent so long holding out hope this year that we've barely had time to really figure out whether if we think this is a good season or a disappointment. At this point, it kinda feels like a bit of both.
In the end, the Jays win 86 games (yay!) and are 10 games over .500 for the season (hooray!), and they play 14 games over .500 under Cito Gaston (woohoo!).
But then again, they end up fourth in the AL East, which will certainly provide almsot endless fodder for the superficial and superior media gasbags in Toronto over the winter. If someone deserves to be pilloried in the media about this year's performance, then fine...but it sticks in our craw that media types who could give a shit about baseball and are too lazy to examine the context are going to toss off pejoratives like "failure" or "mediocre" in passing, as they hurry through their non-analysis to talk at legnth about some fourth-line Maple Leaf.
Nevermind that the AL East is in the toughest division in baseball, and one which will only become tougher next year. The Jays ended the season 37-35 against their own division, while the potential AL Central champs made hay by beating up on the Royals, Tigers and to a lesser extent, the Indians. The White Sox sit at 42-29 within their division before today's final game against Detroit, while the Twins racked up a 43-29 mark.
We'll probably hear lots about the incomparable job done by those two franchises to remain competitive and make the playoffs, even if all that collected acumen led them to two more wins than the Jays.
Moreover, against the AL East, those two models of excellence in franchise building got their asses handed to them. The Twins ended up 13-22, while the White Sox were 15-26.
Our kingdom for a balanced schedule.
Turning the page, Part II
Breaking news: Paul Godfrey is leaving the Jays. It's probably the worst kept secret of the year that he was on his way out after the season...Hell, we figured it out, and we don't have any of this new-fangled "access" that we keep hearing about.
We still think that Godfrey is a wannabe Republican kitten-eater, but give the man his due: he saw attendance increase by about three-quarters of a million patrons per season over his tenure. There's something to be said about that.
Meanwhile, the nostalgic hacks in Toronto already have Paul Beeston stepping in to take over.

Every baseball writer in this city should read this post to see just how much of an impact divisional play has on playoff hopes. Every year we hear the same shit, that complaining about the AL East is not acceptable. Well, fuck, after reading this post, I shall continue to complain.
- September 29, 2008 at 2:48 PM
the organization has to accept that they are in the AL east and increase payroll. that is really the only way they can compete year in year out. JP can use it as an excuse because he doesn't determine the payroll. if rogers wants a perennial playoff team, then they need to pony up the dough. but I highly doubt that Uncle Ted cares if they are winning, as long as he is lining his pockets. and I hate the bullshit about the rays being able to win the East with a low payroll. Friedman lucked out on so many things this year, there is no way that team is as good next year. I think the Jays can make the playoffs with a 90-100 mil payroll, but they need many things to go right, just like the Rays this year.
- September 29, 2008 at 5:10 PM
Friedman didn't luck out AND they will be damn good next year. Primo pitching prospect Price is coming on as a starter. Longoria will be one year older and so will the rest of the kids. Friedman made some good trades and free agent signings and not many people's contracts are up next tear. The Rays might be better not worse next year.
- September 29, 2008 at 6:11 PM
that he did, but he got lucky with Pena, Hinske, Floyd, and the bullpen. Good for him, but I don't see them winning 96 games next year
- September 29, 2008 at 6:53 PM
- Lloyd the Barber said...
I agree with bs. Hinske & Floyd could just as easily be Mencherson. Then where are they? Or where are we if the roles reversed?
- September 29, 2008 at 8:43 PM
that is what i wanted to say, but didn't for some reason. anyone could have predicted floyd would be better than wilkerson, but to get a 114 OPS+ out of him is getting kinda lucky

10 of the past 14 Wild Cards winners have come from the AL East. Just shows how weak the other divisions are as a whole. I think there needs to be something done to make the league more competitive in the playoffs.
But again, strong divisions change regularly and is highly cyclical. There will be a time when the AL East will no longer be the strongest division in baseball.
I wouldn't mind seeing a schedule made that reflects the performance of prior years.
- September 29, 2008 at 9:47 PM
I guess Baltimore's crying that if they were in another division they'd be a .500 team
You morons

His interest in dentistry developed at an early age. Due to childhood illnesses, his permanent teeth never developed the hard enamel covering. As a result, he had many of his primary teeth extracted to allow the weak and discolored permanent teeth to erupt. By the age of 12, he had a cavity on nearly every tooth, and was often teased by other kids about the brown color of his teeth.
Their current website is http://www.fairlingtondental.com and they like lighter colors and it will need twitter, blog and facebook icons.
The website must have 3 columns and a header at the top (see http://www.jstevensdds.com & http://www.irmocosmeticdentist.com as a reference)

In research, the size of the cages in which rabbits are kept is important, but the way their living quarters are enriched is just as significant. In fact, an unfurnished cage is so boring for rabbits that it may cause them to develop behavioral pathologies such as stereotypical bar gnawing, tail biting and hair pulling. However, the rabbits in my care do not show any of these bizarre behaviors, probably because we do our best to provide them with living conditions suited for their species.
Rabbits are social animals. When given the choice, they clearly prefer to be in the company of another rabbit. Companionship is the best form of enrichment that we as caregivers can provide for our animals. All our female rabbits live in either pairs or small groups.
Play Time
Sharing a large enclosure provides the individual rabbit substantially more space and hence possibilities for hopping and leaping that are lacking in small, standard single cages. We furnish each enclosure with a solid structure house that individual rabbits can flee to in the event of an alarming situation, or simply enjoy time on their own. An attached ramp makes it easy for the animals to climb onto the roof.
Rabbits like to dart into safe burrows. Rather than giving them PVC pipes, which are rather sterile and too hard for gnawing, we often place empty cardboard boxes into the cages. The rabbits love them. They hide in them and climb on top of them in order to have a good vantage point. Then they chew on them and finally destroy them. Cardboard boxes can create a big mess, but do not require extra time for keeping the cages clean. Milk crates, open transport cages, big plastic buckets and empty plastic drums sawed in half are other good alternatives. The rabbits do not lose interest in them, and they use them often as a quiet place for their siestas.
We use aspen wood shavings as bedding for our rabbits. It is not so much the shavings, but the empty big paper bags in which the shavings come that are the great attraction. I place a transport cage or bucket into the empty bag to keep it open, and the rabbits spend quite a bit of time hiding inside and chewing the heavy paper. They only stop once the bag has been completely chewed and flattened; one bag keeps the rabbits entertained for about two to three days. We also give them empty toilet paper rolls. Although I do not often see them playing with the rolls, they are usually chewed up into tiny pieces by the next morning.
Other play items I give my animals are empty water bottles filled with rocks or marbles, large plastic balls, shower curtain rings, Kong toys, rawhide chews and wood sticks. They do play with these objects, but usually for less than one hour daily. Often I find a toy at the very same spot that I placed it the day before during my next morning visit. Obviously, a toy lacks the responsiveness and ever-changing challenge of another rabbit companion, and therefore loses its attraction relatively quickly.
Some toys can entertain the rabbits quite a bit, while others receive hardly any attention. I have found over the years that my rabbits do not get tired of objects they can hide in or under, as well as chew and destroy. Objects that make a noise when being pushed around are interesting at first, but quickly lose their novelty. Individual rabbits seem to have favorite toys, but again, the interest is never long lasting. I like to give the rabbits toys on a rotational basis, exchanging them with different objects once a week when their cages are cleaned. This way, old toys regain some of their original attractiveness each time they have been removed for a while, cleaned and placed back into the rabbit cage.
Food for Fun
Food is also a great source of enrichment. My rabbits get fresh hay on a regular basis. Unlike with toys, I see no indication that the animals lose interest in this natural substrate promoting not only foraging, but also nest-building behavior. I sometimes give them a small (10 inches) or large (3 feet) branch. The rabbits seemingly enjoy stripping all the bark, but beyond that, they have little use for the branches. There are also little commercial rabbit toys that you jab fruit and veggies onto and hang from the sides of the cage, like a kabob. It is not very time consuming to prepare these toys and the rabbits like them.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are favorite treats. My rabbits love homemade dried fruit and whatever else I share with them. I only have to open the door of the room before all the rabbits approach me eagerly, waiting for their turn to get a treat. These regular, positive interactions with the animals have nothing to do with sentimentality, but they are a safeguard so the rabbits are not afraid of me, and will allow me to handle them during experimental procedures without getting distressed. The affectionate relationship with the animals in my charge is a basic condition so research data collected from them is not skewed by avoidable stress reactions.
Housing rabbits together, providing them with objects they enjoy and fostering an affectionate relationship with them is a simple but very rewarding task. It creates a humane living environment that promotes the well-being of the rabbits. After all, happy, healthy and relaxed rabbits make better research subjects and provide more reliable test results.

"IMAGINATION is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination
embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution." –ALBERT EINSTEIN
I think many of my stories work on this principle: everything is just as it is in our world (they physicality, the psychology, etc) except for one distorted thing. The effect, I hope, is to make the reader (and me) see our "real" world in a slightly new light.
I do develop my books in scenes, and write a lot of dialogue – though book dialogue is different from stage dialogue, which is different from TV dialogue – and that is different from radio dialogue – I've explored all these facets. I think I am covertly a playwright and always have been – it's just that the plays last for weeks, instead of a couple of hours.
The idea that anything could be a door, the idea that the back of the wardrobe could open up unto a world in which it was winter and there were other worlds inches away from us, became just part of the way that I saw the world, that was how I assumed the way the world worked, when I was a kid that was the way that I saw.
I think part of what I was thinking about with this project was to build the fact that [my character] Yunior is a writer and that with Yunior being a writer we get to check in with his maturing and changing perspective. [...] Therefore built into the story there's a perspective that might not otherwise be available if I was writing far more closely to the events he was narrating. These are the weird nerdy decisions one makes as one writes where one has to decide the events that are occurring in your text. You have to decide what's the distance between the event and the point of telling where the narrator stands, looking upon and reflecting and retelling those events.
In the course of writing a novel I will sometimes lock myself away. During most of my previous novels there comes a point where I just go to the country and hide for 5 or 6 weeks. Sometimes it's the first draft, sometimes it's the second. There are periods when I feel like you just have to cut out the world and listen to the voice in your own head.

Sometimes it's the first draft, sometimes it's the second. There are periods when I feel like you just have to cut out the world and listen to the voice in your own head.
I've written a number of short stories from a first-person POV but I guess with novels I felt that this was too restrictive. What worked for me was a third-person approach that was somewhat suffused with the personality of the character.
All artists are seeking to create a modified world that conforms to their emotional and artistic expectations, and I am one of them, though, of course, as we grow and age those expectations are continually in flux. [...] Yes, like all of us, I have experienced disillusionment with the limits of human life and understanding.
I don't start off to create a moral in telling a story, but there are certainly consequences to the decisions that we make and some of those will inevitably have what we call a moral dimension. I don't respond enthusiastically to fiction when I can see a thumb on the scales, when I can see that it's a sermon in disguise. I'm more interested in writing that explores rather than proclaims.
Characters begin as voices, then gain presence by being viewed in others' eyes. Characters define one another in dramatic contexts. It is often very exciting, when characters meet-- out of their encounters, unanticipated stories can spring.
In a way, I sometimes think that it's when the divergences from what really happened are quite small that it calls for the services of a very scrupulous and clever biographer. Certainly the stuff you get about me from my books it's not–how can I put it?–it's not reliable as evidence in any court of law. I'm very conscious that I'm not under oath when I'm writing.
When I compare novelists to short story writers or very short story writers, I can't compare them, but one thing for sure, the purpose is different. I think that someone who writes tries to create or document a world. And when you write very short fiction you try to document a motion, some kind of movement.
Je suis devenue écrivain parce que dans ma famille ce n'étaient pas seulement les rêves, les étoiles et les animaux sauvages, qu'on passait sous silence, mais tout. Il y a deux choses surtout qu'on cache aux enfants : la mort et le sexe. Les zones du grand secret. Chez moi, la présence d'un enfant mort réunissait ces deux zones d'une façon dramatique. Ce chagrin silencieux de mes parents, et la folie de plusieurs personnes dans ma famille, ont déterminé l'écrivain que je suis.
I sort of think we're all kind of a swirl of everything we've read, the art we've looked at or heard, the life we've led, the people we know, the stories we've heard, the stories we've lived through and the stories we've heard secondhand, the fears we've had, the desires we've had, it's kind of just swirling around, so when you're writing it's not that you're channeling it in a completely unthinking way, but when I write I'm just sort of moving fence to fence and seeing what bubbles up.
The artificial beginning is interesting to me. There is a clear-cut: old life, that's old country, and here's there's new life, new country. It is an advantage. You are looking at life through an old pair of eyes and a new pair of eyes. And there's always that ambivalence––Where do you belong? And how do you belong? And I do think these are advantages of immigrant writers or writers with two languages or who have two worlds.
And it's something every writer carries in them in their heart. Carries–it's a big statement, but there's a small truth within the kernel of it–carries the history, the geography, the rules and the songs of the place they come from. It's inescapable. And to throw it away or to lose it is a tragedy. And to throw it away is a crime. So, for all my complaints about my native land, I am glad to be in there on that bus because it was a lovely thing to have. There are lot of them driving that bus, I'm just one of the passengers.
All Is Forgotten, Nothing Is Lost was a departure. It's actually my favorite because it was just a huge pleasure to write. So much fun to write. Nothing to do with my background, my family, it's all about lived experience and observations I made coming up as a writer. Because for me becoming a writer went hand in hand with me becoming a person.
I've never really written a roman à clef, you know, something directly from my experience. [...] And yet again, you are always writing about yourself. Even if you're not writing about something you've actually lived, you're dealing with your own internal weather system, as I've said, and we all have one. And you're also dealing with the things that keep you up at night, the things that worry you, the things you haven't been able to get right. Your fears. And everyone has fears and they all come into play.
I feel like anybody can make a church or a garden spiritual, but for me the more interesting thing is to see if you can make holy or spiritual things that are just very ordinary. […] There's all sorts of places that are holy, not just the ones that are defined that way by the culture. That's always been a part of my work. From the very beginning
The traveling exhibitions are augmented by projection elements (a variety of interviews, stories, poems, artworks, essays, creative insights, short films and dance) by contributors from over 50 countries, alongside documentation of art and educational initiatives The Creative Process is involved in. Below is a brief selection.
I have been trying over the past twenty years to balance the serious and disturbing information I absorb at my job about human suffering, the earth's failing environment, and the atrocities of unnecessary wars, in a way that allows me to also, sometimes, feel joy.
I think what is going on now is we are being forced to recognize that this paradigmatic Western civilization, what we are part of, that we have been indoctrinated with, has fundamental flaws. And the most fundamental flaw is this automatic assumption that everything coming from the West always came from the West, had no other origins, whereas it's almost the opposite.
The English way of saying, well, you meet a new person and what was he like? "What was he like?" is a very strange thing to say. It's saying: don't tell me how he was. Tell me what he resembles. Isn't that weird? It says: tell me a story.
PURE IMAGINATION PROGRAM for YOUNG WRITERS
"IMAGINATION is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and, therefore,
the foundation of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity,
it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared." –J.K. ROWLING

42 HASKINS & SELLS June Recasting Procedure NEVER perhaps in the history of the accountancy profession has opportunity knocked harder at the door. The opportunity exists in rendering to clients a service more distinctly helpful, more genuinely valuable, and manifestly more useful to business administration. It is traditional of the public accountant that he has looked upon his functions largely as confined to reviewing and verifying. For some unknown reason he has thought it unfitting that he should go beyond the accuracy and truth of recorded financial transactions and their statement in technical form. His sphere has been considered to preclude him from possessing business intelligence and judgment in matters outside of accounting technique. Here and there, however, certain accountants have broken away from the hide-bound notions which circumscribe the traditional accountant in his work. To the amazement of their fellow practitioners such presumptuous accountants have become eminently successful in the establishment of practice. Why they are so sought after by business men and bankers is a mystery to those whose concepts of practice permit of no change. To paraphrase a well known advertisement, "The client's nose knows," and there is abundant evidence to show that this discriminating sense has detected a bad odor on the part of the accountant who persists in selling clerical service and typewritten sheets at professional rates. Is there any wonder, when an accountant approaches an engagement with some business intelligence and not only verifies facts and figures but tries to interpret the data and results examined, that he is preferred over the one who leaves nothing helpful with the client who pays the fee? Is there any comparison in the matter of respect on the part of a client between an accountant who gives him a copy of his books with a recital of the verification procedure and one who in addition to verifying, points out trouble-spots, inefficiencies, unsound policies, and wrong practices, and suggests remedies? Is there any doubt if such suggestions are practical and sensible that they will be favorably received? Naturally, an accountant who recommends tearing down and reconstructing all the plant buildings in order to adapt them to some advanced scientific production scheme will find little favor with a client. But such suggestions are not comprehended in the sensible class and breed contempt rather than the confidence on which professional service rests. There is a growing tendency on the part of those who have occasion to utilize the services of public accountants to expect more constructive service. Accounting is a means to an end. It has too long been regarded as the end. The accountant is presumed to know not only how to obtain results but what the results mean. Business men are coming more and more to expect that accountants will tell them what interpretations may be placed on the figures which the accounting process produces; how the conclusions may be applied to the future conduct of the business. Postmortems in the practice of medicine do more than satisfy curiosity. They afford a basis for more intelligent future practice. The growing expectations of clients place a somewhat new and heavier responsibility on public accountants. Somewhat clumsy in their methods, steeped in traditional technique, woefully weak in their ability to interpret, and frequently devoid of business judgment, accountants who would meet the demands of modern practice are confronted with the task of getting busy on a new program of thought, study and methods of procedure.

Expanded Queen Replacement Mattress Abe Feller® PREMIUM
SHIPPING SPECIAL, around $119 shipping, curb side delivery, (more details), to most locations!
The Expanded Queen mattress is an obsolete mattress size, 66" wide by 80" long. The normal Queen size mattress is only 60" wide and 80" long. So, obviously, the length is the same but the Expanded Queen dimensions are six inches wider. Six inches may not seem like a lot to you, but Expanded Queen sleepers will tell you, size matters when it comes to mattresses, even six inches. The extra width is GREAT!
Up until now, if you owned the rare and mostly obsolete Olympic Queen mattress, getting a replacement was either impossible or a very expensive special order ordeal.
Use the check box menu to add the bunkie board topper for in between the mattress and box foundation for an extra $99. Most people already have this and may not need to replace it. The bunkie board topper adds support along the edge of the mattress.
ABE FELLER® To The Rescue! We have decided to bring back the Olympic Queen Size and call it the Expanded Queen Size Mattress!
Please note that we sell Olympic Queen or Expanded Queen (same Size) sheets, comforters, mattress pads, metal frames and feather pillow toppers.
Bench crafted with quality materials by hard working Americans in a small family owned factory the old fashioned way.
Our PREMIUM mattress is a luxury pillow-top/firm model. Designed around a 14.5-gauge coil lura-flex spring set that offers over twice as many individually wrapped coils compared to our GOOD, BETTER, and BEST models. Beginning with molded spring protection on both sides of the coils, a cotton pad, and a layer of heavy density foam follow. The needle-punched cotton pad lies under a .375-inch layer of heavy density foam, which is topped with an inch layer of 2.6 lb density high resilient foam. Next the pillow-top is created from a 1 inch layer of visco elastic memory foam followed by quilted cotton and a 1.5-inch layer of super soft plus comfort foam topped with a 2-inch layer of antimicrobial fiber. Finally the fine damask cover is quilted to create a premium pillow-top/firm mattress.
This PREMIUM mattress incorporates our amazing plush pillow-top on one side and firmer mattress non pillow-top on the other side. Want a different feel? Just flip the mattress. An idea whose time has come, especially when you consider the poor value that a one sided "no flip" mattress offers.
Our PREMIUM model sold here offers low price with plush pillow-top but supportive feel and a firmer feel with tighter quilting on the other side.
The outer fabric is a long wearing high quality damask. The high quality padding and cushioning of the mattress are described in the cutaway section available in additional images for this product.
This Mattress and/or Mattress Set meets or exceeds the flammability standard FF4-72.
Expanded Queen Size measuring approximately 66 inches x 80 inches
Coil count is approximately 805 Coils.
Click for Mattress Size Chart
Bedding Depth: Mattress Only: 12.25 inches
Please allow 2-3 weeks for shipping.
WARRANTY AND RETURNS: This mattress or mattress set is custom made so it is not returnable for any reason. Orders cannot be canceled or changed once production has begun. Our mattress and/or Mattress and Foundation set will last for years. It is built from top quality componets and does not rely upon soft and cheap padding that can imprint and indent over a short period of time. However, we do not warranty our bed because we ship it all over the country and it is cost prohibitive to do a return. With proper metal frame support and proper foundation support (if you buy a set you get an excellent foundation) the mattress will last for years.

You don't need a yacht, not even a rowboat, to show your sailor style.
Breeze into any clothing store, and you'll see that nautical fashion is everywhere.
A starter look would be a simple dress, tunic or T-shirt horizontally striped in white and blue. Even without a bateau (that's French for boat) neckline, these are seaworthy classics that also will look great nowhere near the water.
You frugal Navy types might try cutting a hunk of clothesline rope to hold up your trousers and add a nautical touch. Google "sailors knots," and tie up your bargain belt with a bit of DIY authenticity. It's a cinch.
Not too crafty? Go shopping for something a little more elaborate (and expensive) like the rope belt shown here.
Matey, beware: You don't want to look like a refugee from "Gilligan's Island." Avoid that curse by sticking to one — or two at most —nautical touches. Go especially easy on the stripes: One striped item per outfit, please. Too much of this good thing turns your outfit costumey.
Steer clear of lots of anchor jewelry paired with sailor bell bottoms, a Navy blazer with commodore buttons and a jaunty skipper cap. Sailor overload is fine for our paper doll, but if you dolled yourself up like this you'd look silly, not chic. Nautical head to toe is a definite no-no! Save that for a campy showing of "South Pacific" on a hot summer's night. Then, there's no such thing as too much sailor.
In a situation like that, it's impossible to go overboard.
Check out my nautical fashion picks here.
You don't need a yacht, not even a rowboat, to show your sailor style.

My name is Mark Harris, and I am the Program Manager driving extensibility in IE7. With the creation of www.ieaddons.com we have a rich set of 3rd party add-ons, and we are committed to improving this resource over time. Most users are familiar with toolbars, but many don't realize the breadth of the add-ons available for Internet Explorer.
Personalize Your Ride
I rented a Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200C this past weekend (hold the mid-life crisis jokes). There are a huge number of accessories available for the bike: custom handlebars, special seats, and (of course) louder mufflers. These accessories let riders personalize their riding experience. In a similar way, Internet Explorer Add-Ons provide users with a way to personalize their browsing experience.
For example, many of us have difficulty with spelling. Enter IESpell: the spell-checker for the web. It's a free download for non-commercial use, and spell-checks any text typed into a form. IESpell will also look up word definitions and works with several language dictionaries. Right-click on any word in a page, and IESpell will get you the definition.
Another customized feature is navigation with mouse gestures. There is a well-put-together add-on (with source!) for Internet Explorer that adds mouse gestures to the browser frame. With this add-on you can go forward, back, and even open tabs depending on how you move the mouse. Mouse gestures are not for everyone – but for those who like it, the add-on makes for an even more personal browsing experience.
On the Super-Highway
Another group of add-ons are tied directly to specific web services. Sites like Windows Live and StumbleUpon offer add-ons for Internet Explorer so you can enjoy their services while browsing the Internet.
The Windows Live toolbar is tied in with the Live.com web services. It lets you access weather, stock quotes, maps, and Wikipedia searches at the touch of a button from your browser session. It even lets you keep a copy of your Favorites on the Internet, for easy access from any computer. The toolbar ties in cleanly with Windows Live services, as if it were a part of the browser all along.
StumbleUpon is a social networking service for web site recommendations and reviews. Their toolbar tracks your likes and dislikes and recommends web sites that you might enjoy. It uses calls to their back-end web service to provide this functionality from any Internet Explorer session. Using the toolbar, they integrate the components of their web site with Internet Explorer as if they were native to Internet Explorer.
The add-ons mentioned here are just a few of the hundreds available for IE7. New add-ons are being submitted to www.ieaddons.com every day. There is no way one blog post could showcase all of our favorite add-ons that are available for IE7, so you will be hearing more from us on this subject. Until then, have fun customizing your Internet experience, and share your favorite add-ons below.

Bad Kitty Studios necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 40 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
Bonus compensation in the "Requirements" Section
This client is a website for men, women and couples featuring tasteful erotica in the form of Fine Art & Glamor nude photos & videos in members only galleries, as well as a large free public area with erotic stories, essays & articles, free e-cards, screen savers, an online shopping area and a newsletter.
The clients wants a logo that reflects the tasteful, upscale theme of the site and their tag line: "Grace and Beauty: A Celebration of Sensuous Living". The site is not a "porn" site, although is does feature nudity and moderately explicit material, but is very softcore compared to a typical "porn site".
The target audience for this campaign includes men, women and couples interested in well written erotic stories, very polished and artistic nude photos and videos, and a place to shop for erotica & adult products that feels classy and elegant.
Very "Upscale" is the idea... Eroticism on the order of "Cirque du Soleil" type production, rather than "Barnum & Bailey", if you get the idea.
The majority of members are better educated hetero men, & couples, as well as a significant lesbian population.
*** Note*** If you are offended by tasteful nudity, or adult themed material, then please stop here. It is not the client's wish to upset or offend anyone. Thank you for your interest.
Interested designers should visit the site, which has recently been completely re-designed, to get an idea of the look & feel of the gallery. The splash page is at http://www.GraceAndBeauty.com
This logo is to be used widely to build brand recognition for the site both on the website itself, as well as on t-shirts, cups, calendars, and other items.
The Site's color scheme uses dark green, black, ivory and gold tones. The logo should fit with this motif.
Artwork should NOT contain the site's name. (The initials "G" and "B" may be an optional part of the design.) Client is looking for a simple line art logo that compliments and illustrates the site's message, theme and style.
Artwork should display well on a monitor at 72ppi with a max size of 600px x 600px.
and should print well up to at least 12inches x 12inches at 300+dpi
Design can be generally round, square or vertical rectangular in over all shape.
Design must be delivered in psd or other PhotoShop readable format with _layers still separate_ to accomodate color & background adjustments.
** Bonus ** The client is offering a free 1 year subscription to the members area of the site for the winning designer.

BilP on Family Tree Circles
view: full | list
Journals and Posts
Looking for Irish family of Charles F. Nunan who immigrated from County Cork to Massachusetts then to Cape Porpoise, Maine in the 1850's.
I am researching the Nunan family history. The line I am related to are in or near Cape Porpoise, Maine. However, I am primarily interested in the Irish family history.
The Nunan's of Cape Porpoise, many of whom still live in or near Cape Porpoise come from a long line of fisherman. Several Nunan's in the late 1800's early 1900's established the "Nunan Fleet" comprising a total of 12 schooners that fished the Grand Banks.
Will share other stories as time permits.
Connecting Moses Pearson to my line
Researching PEARSON/PARSONS family history. I have been able to trace my line back to Jeffrey PARSONS (1630-1689) who married Sarah VINSON/VINTON (1631-1708). My late uncle had completed a great deal of information that is no longer available but was told that Moses PEARSON, the first sheriff of Cumberland County, Maine from 1760-1768 is somehow connected to my line. Thus far I have not made the connection.
I have a fair amount of my line information and also that of Moses PEARSON that I am happy to share with others. I use Family Tree Maker but can export in PDF or GEDCom.
All responses will be answered.

Stable Channel Update
46 comments :
Finally after much delay waiting for Google officially launches the stable version of Chrome aeeee 13.
Glad to have it arrive :)
Also glad they took the extra time to fix what was alot of Bugs :)
w00t !!!!111211!!!
When a tab is loading a page and you quickly open another tab, there is an error massage that is been displayed.
Why is there an "m" in the version number?
13.0.782.107 m
@cody: multiple
Now we can look forward to the same idiots complaining about Stable 13 taking too long to come on the Canary channel and demand immediate release of Stable 14.
Does anyone know of a good way to downgrade from Dev 14 to Stable 13 while keeping custom searches and other settings? Does 13 stable have profile sync already?
what about compact navigation? is implement in this version?
Something about the compact navigation? I wonder if it will be implemented in this version or future versions and will work with the instant and the instant search page.
Compact navigation can be enabled in the flags (see about:flags), somewhere near the end of the list. The implementation has been canceled though, so be prepared for the flag to disappear one or two versions down the line.
So to say that Google has abandoned the model of the compact version of Google Chrome? I clicked on about: flags'm getting more use it has some bugs. I wonder if they will fix this and implement in future versions of Google chrome default because this feature is excellent.
Someone/Anyone would tell me how to enable "Instant pages" ???
Because I use "about:flags" and there's an entry about Instant pages but I'm not sure if that's the correct way..
Thank you!!!
Thanks for the stable release! Wow too many security fixes...
@joesixgig, why are you bothering to post info about that flags option especially when you know the feature in cancelled?
Removing that flag was the only step the Devs didn't bother to do.
You're just getting people's hopes up for nothing and telling to try a discontinued feature that could have bugs.
FINALLY THANK GOD!! I have been waiting too LONG thanks GOOGLE CHROME!!!!
anyone know how to turn instant off for certain web sites?
It causes problems when playing pogo games. Not sure if then it will cause issues for other games?
I'm at dev channel and I want to switch to stable channel.
But profiles are not compatible.
Any solution?
Thank you guys and sorry for my poor english.
@josep bel
Follow this steps
No Lion support for back/forward still?
Chrome hasn't been my default browser since Lion because of this. I'd love to change that!
FINALLY the most visited thumbnails don't disappear for no reason anymore.
How can I enable INSTANT PAGES???
@Adrian Fbris type about:flags in address bar and go all the way at the bottom that says preload instant search click enable and there you go.
Mainman678, I'm asking because I internet I've just read that I have to go to "chrome://settings/search#instant" (type this in url bar) and this is a different way, which I'm not sure is correct what this guy said..
finally.. :)
I enabled instant search feature. It loads any page instantly but It doesn't work if i try to search something through omnibar. (default search engine is google)
Please add option to delete history "older than xxx". Now i can only clear history "newer than" which is not enough for me.
Now i have to clear full history to remove history from 2-3 months back.
Thank you.
can not save password when logging into gmail any one else having that problem
Had to downgrade do to new version doesn't block cookies.. plz fix this soon.
Why is the compact navigation being dropped? I immediately turned the flag on and would love for this to stay. Can anyone point me to a discussion or more information about this?
@Jos - 2 things.
1) Google decided "this is not the way Chrome should look like in the future", so that's why.
2) They said it would eat up too much time to polish it and fix bugs.
I love the feature too, and maybe drop Chrome when they remove the flag.
Excellent... but, still no 64 Bit for Mac?
It would have been nice if the release notification would have specify that this new Chrome release requires newer libstdc++ for Linux.
On SLES 11 SP1 64bit, Chrome is not working any longer. We have the following error:
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found
When will Chrome support Tab Groups ala Firefox Panorama?
See how Firefox Panorama works here:
How looooong will it take before this 'last' missing feature will emerge?
I know, but the profile is not 100% compatible. We need a great tool to switch channels.
This release is really a disaster. Needs a badly needed update. Search bar lag. People also reporting no printing when printing pdf's.
now we just need chrome 14 on beta and 15 on dev....no mas milestone update in a while lol.
13 runs amazing on my new machine but like a turd on my old one...can't keep 10 tabs open w/o lag =(
Will Chrome automatically update itself? b/c as of right now, Chrome is still version 12 on my computer?
Why do i see additional m in the version number?
13.0.782.107 m
@Revisited: "m" multiple profile supported.
Could somebody be kind enough to explain what is this "Override software rendering list" flag,please?
Thank you.
Playing youtube videos in fullscreen mode doesn't work for me, I just get sound on a black screen. Am I the only one with this issue?
@The World's Worst Writer is a issue of Flash Player not of chrome!
I just want to voice that I do not think the compact navigation or the experimental tab page should be canned. I thought it's weird that these flags weren't turned on by default.. I turned them on immediately and have been using them since updating and I don't think I want to go back assuming the Chrome team removes the flag...
I've just updated Chrome in my Windows machine and now shows "Chrome 13.0.782.107 m". Uninstalled it and installed it again and now it doesn't show the "m". Can someone explain this?
Some change in Chrome 13 now results in our test suite generating different results based on whether we start up a "clean" copy of Chrome, or whether we rerun the test by reloading the page. The Processing.js performance tests that we run will take, for instance, 14 seconds on initial clean page load, and 18 seconds when the page is reloaded from URL in the same chrome instance. Somehow, this new version is terrible at dealing with javascript on reloaded pages.
Actual performance test results:
14718ms initial page run
18045ms on the same run after page reload
31149ms on the same run, repeated a second time without reloading the page from URL
Feel free to drop by #processingjs on irc.mozilla.org to figure this one out.

I promise you, I have a big ol' Humana Festival 35 round-up in the cooker for you. But this week has been a booger. It's been the week before Spring Break (I am, right now, officially ON Spring Break... praise the relaxation gods), and I have been sick, sick, sick with an as-of-yet-undiagnosed maybe-strep-throat-maybe-upper-respiratory-infection.
But this golden nugget landed in my email box tonight, and I am too jazzed to sit on it. It's the 2011-12 Actors Theater line-up, and I'm super excited. In play (pun intended for the 2011-12 season:
- Sense & Sensibility: Jon Jory's adaptation of Jane Austen's work
- The Adventures of Tom Sawyer: adapted by Laura Eason
- ReEntry by Emily Ackerman and KJ Sanchez
- The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity bu Kristoffer Diaz
- In The Next Room by Sarah Ruhl (personal opinion: am a HUGE fan of Sarah Ruhl)
