Hi All,
Have not written here in a long time. It has been a busy month. Lots of work, plus the weather is getting better – more time spent outside. Bought a bicycle, now try to bike at least a couple of times a week on the sea wall. But the most exciting thing that happened recently is that I have booked my trip to Mexico! Counting days:)
Unfortunately, I do not have any cool pictures on my laptop at the moment. Will try to post something later!
Stay tuned!

My first encounter with Laura Ingalls Wilder's work was WAY back in 6th grade. Our reading teacher assigned Little House in the Big Woods. I was absolutely taken with the book. In particular, I fell in love with the minute details of everyday life in the big woods. How Pa trapped and prepared meat (smoked, salted, hung), or how Ma made butter, complete with coloring from carrots boiled in milk.
It was the small, everyday details that really transported me into the life of this family. I've re-read the book several times over the years, but somehow I never completed the entire series! That's one of the reasons I latched onto this read-a-long. It's high time I read the whole thing.
And I can honestly credit Laura Ingalls Wilder's book for instilling a love of historical fiction in me. I am absolutely fascinated with the way people in times gone by lived their daily lives. Other books that have appealed to me with their historical detail:
And so so so many others. But these were the first to come to mind. I read The Red Tent and Pope Joan 12 years ago if that gives you any inclination of the impact they had on me. The Red Garden was much more recent and equally powerful.
So, in getting back to the Little House books, I'm looking forward to more detail in some different settings. The university library's copy of Little House on the Prairie was missing in action this past week, so I grabbed it from the city library over the weekend.
My re-read of Little House in the Big Woods was record-fast last week. It only took me two days, and it would've certainly been even quicker if I didn't have to work or sleep. :)
Probably my favorite question from Lisa's discussion was:
Do you think kids today like the books as much as we did? As much as our parents did?
I don't know enough children who have read this (since me) to answer. However, this idea of generations moving away from this time period is an interesting one to ponder. My grandparents raising their own family in the 40s and 50s were farmers. They told me stories of doing things "the old fashioned way." And they told me stories of how their parents and grandparents functioned. I think that gave me an appreciation and a familiarity with the time period in these books that other kids and future generations will not have as time marches on.
There will still be plenty of kids who seek out books of this nature and are fascinated by prairie life and homesteads and all of that. But they just won't have the experience as close to them. I think they will find the everyday lifestyle and methods of preserving and hunting and providing for one's family far less believable, maybe?
Did you read the Little House books when you were a kid? Do you think these books hold up to today's young reading audiences?
Currently reading, and almost finished with:
And I've already been reduced to tears. FYI.

Solid Snake vs Liquid Ocelot it's the best fight out of all
I was just a kid when i played MGS, therefore, i never expected to connect a 2nd controller when fighting with Psycho mantis, and the result was an incredibly tedius (and hard) fight of 1 hour ( or more? )
Thats my reason to love that fight, i spended several hours trying to beat him till i did, and felt great!
But then again, it was over and over to do the same thing.

Musicians in Danbury area doing their part
When words fail us, we turn to music.
At its best, music can express the emotions we feel, but cannot verbalize. It can bypass our mind and speak directly to our soul and sometimes it can help heal the broken fragments of our beings.
Last week in the terrible wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, music performances across the Danbury area were postponed. Most of these shows have been rescheduled for this week.
The musicians and performers in our community will help us not move on, but continue on, as they perform music that can soften our grief for a moment and play melodies that can convey the emotions words cannot express.
The Danbury Trombone Outfit recital, which was postponed because of the tragedy, will take place on Saturday, Dec. 22, at 8 p.m. at the Danbury Music Centre. The performance will be a tribute and feature a 14-piece trombone choir. The Danbury Trombone Outfit is comprised of area trombonists, many of whom play in the Danbury Symphony Orchestra, Danbury Community Orchestra and the Danbury Brass Band.
At 256 Main St., Danbury. Free admission. 203-748-1716, www.danbury.org/MusicCtr.
On Friday, Dec. 21, at 8 p.m., holiday music will be performed at the Ridgefield Playhouse by Tony-winner Debbie Gravitte and her star-studded cast. The show was rescheduled from Friday, Dec. 14. Joining Gravitte will be international opera star Bill Joyner, Sal Viviano (currently starring in the off-Broadway hit "Closer Than Ever"), members of the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra conducted by Russ Kassoff, Carrie Pin and the Macdonald-Pin Dancers, A Cappella 8 and the Holiday Spectacular All-Star Kids Chorus.
At 80 E. Ridge, Ridgefield. $45. 203-438-5795, www.ridgefieldplayhouse.org.
On Friday, Dec. 21, at 8:30 p.m., the Towne Crier Cafe in Pawling, N.Y., will host "A Celtic Christmas Evening with Cherish the Ladies." The show will feature music from the group's Christmas album, "A Star In The East." Over the past 18 years, Cherish the Ladies (taken from the name of a traditional Irish jig) has grown into one of the most successful and sought-after Irish-American groups in Celtic music. This powerhouse group combines all the facets of Irish traditional culture and puts it forth in an immensely entertaining package.
At 130 Route 22, Pawling, N.Y. $40 at the door, $35 in advance. 845-855-1300, www.townecrier.com.
The next night on Saturday, Dec. 22, the Grand Slambovians (formerly Gandalf Murphy & The Slambovian Circus of Dreams) will take the stage at the Towne Crier at 8:30 p.m. This group has been called "the hillbilly Pink Floyd." The band is a regional favorite and incorporates elements of folk, pop, classic rock and jam rock. The band's influences include the Incredible String Band, Neil Young, The Band, Bob Dylan and Frank Zappa.
At 130 Route 22, Pawling, N.Y. $30 at the door, $25 in advance. 845-855-1300, www.townecrier.com.
On Friday, Dec. 21, at 7 p.m., the Heirloom Arts Theatre in Danbury will host the Ranga Rock 2012 Relay for Life Benefit Show. The lineup will feature head banging performances from Take One Car, Forget Paris, City Streets Country Roads, Food, Rusty Things, and Tossing Cymbals.
At 155 Main St., Danbury, Suite 103. $10. 917-593-3508, www.heirloomarts.org.
A "Pass the Hat" benefit featuring a night of music to aid families of the Sandy Hook tragedy will take place at the River Bistro in New Milford on Friday, Dec. 28, at 8 p.m. The Blue Yodels will perform, along with Don Lowe and the Lowedowns, and other musicians.
There is no cover and reservations are strongly recommended. All donations will go into an account set up by Newtown Savings Bank and administered by the United Way of Western Connecticut. Checks should be made out to "Sandy Hook School Support Fund." More information is at www.uwwesternct.org.
At 300 Kent Road, New Milford. 860-355-4466.
Want your show to be considered for Backstage Pass? Are you a local artist who wants to be profiled? Send an email with all pertinent information about the band and the gig to Erik Ofgang at least two weeks before the show. Send it to email@example.com for consideration.

New Movie Releases 2012: Video Trailer, Preview & Release Date
New Movie Releases 2012 will make the whole year full of fun & excitement. Movies like Men in Black 3, The Avengers, The Amazing Spiderman, Underworld 4, Ice Age 4 Continental Drift will be a sure box office toppers. Lets go ahead with the list of New Movie Releases 2012.
New Movie Releases 2012 Top List
1. Men In Black III
Starring: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Rip Torn, Emma Thompson, Alec Baldwin
Director: Barry Sonnenfeld
Out: 25th May 2012
I remember crying out for sequels after seeing Men In Black. Then Men In Black 2 happened and that cry stopped abruptly. Now this seems like flogging a dead horse, but hopefully the concept should still bring us some inventive and wild storytelling. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back, as is director Sonnenfeld. This one's a 3D time travel plot with Agent J (Smith) having to go back to the 60s to visit, and protect, a younger Agent K (Brolin playing Jones). Can you believe it will have been 10 years since Men In Black 2?
2. The Hunger Games
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks
Director: Gary Ross
Out: 23rd March 2012
In the future, 12 districts select a boy and a girl to fight to the death on live TV. When her younger sister is chosen, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers to replace her. This is the next Twilight, so far as crazed fan following and huge box office go. The books have a massive, largely teenage, following. While I expect it'll be a much better series, it does look like they've
stolen borrowed the central premise of Battle Royale and made a teen-aimed Hollywood friendly version of it. I'm not really on board, but fans are completely excited about it.
3. Cloud Atlas
Starring: Tom Hanks, Ben Whishaw, Hugo Weaving, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant (below right)
Directors: The Wachowski Siblings, Tom Tykwer
Out: 26th October 2012
4. The Dictator
Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen, Anna Faris, Megan Fox, John C. Reilly
Director: Larry Charles
Out: 11th May 2012
The heroic story of a dictator (Cohen) who risks his life to ensure that democracy will never come to the country he so lovingly oppresses. Specifically, he is exiled to New York after being secretly replaced by a lookalike goat herder. The project is inspired by Saddam Hussein's romance novel 'Zabibah and the King' which was a story about a nice dictator set 1300 years ago, that was really about himself. The movie is scripted, rather than another Cohen mockumentary, though it comes from the director of Borat and Bruno. It all sounds like potentially hilarious subject matter.
5. Looper
Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, Piper Perabo
Director: Rian Johnson
Out: 28th September 2012
In the future, time travel is banned but the mob still uses it to send targets back in time where they are eliminated by waiting assassins. When one of the mob's killers (Gordon-Levitt) recognises his next target as himself (Willis), he's presented with an obvious dilemma. The movie's talented director brought us Brick and The Brothers Bloom. Early reviews say it's great, with well-presented time travel rules, strong characters and uniquely shot action. Sounds like a
rip-off tribute to the short story 'The Hit' from 2000AD years ago.
6. Taken II
Starring: Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen, Maggie Grace
Director: Olivier Megaton
Out: October 2012
7. Lincoln
Starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tommy Lee Jones
Director: Steven Spielberg
Out: December 2012
8. Brave (Pixar)
Starring: Kelly Macdonald, Julie Walters, Billy Connolly, Robbie Coltrane, Craig Ferguson
Director: Mark Andrews
Out: 22nd June 2012
In the mystical, rugged Scottish Highlands, Merida (Macdonald) is an accomplished archer and the unruly daughter of King Fergus (Connolly). When she defies a sacred custom of the land bringing turmoil she must seek out an eccentric old Woman (Walters) and deal with the three lords of the kingdom (Coltrane, Ferguson, Kevin McKidd) to put things right. Brave is the first Pixar movie to have a woman as its lead character. After their critical misstep with Cars 2, this is a chance to prove they're still the best in the business.
9. Titanic 3D
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane
Director: James Cameron
Out: 6th April 2012
"Neeear. Faaaar. Wherever you arrre." Don't pretend you didn't cry. The biggest grossing movie of all time (until Avatar) returns with the top end 3D conversion treatment. James Cameron is overseeing this whole thing personally so you can be sure he won't let a shoddy 3D product slip through. How will world audiences respond to this second time round? It's a movie that feels, strangely, of its time. I guess this means Kate Winslet will be nude in 3D, wonder how she feels about that.
10. World War Z
Starring: Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, James Badge Dale, Lucy Aharish
Director: Marc Forster
Out: 21st December 2012
A UN representative (Pitt), writing a report at the end of the great zombie war, interviews survivors who are starting to wonder if survival is a victory of any kind. Based on the novel (which reads like a UN report and doesn't really have a lead character), this $125m movie has a large international scope, and a political emphasis. Stylistically it is rumoured to be similar to Children of Men. It's potentially an interesting return to the big star horror of the '70s, and the best chance a zombie movie ever has of being mentioned at Oscar time. Can't wait.
11. Django Unchained
Starring: Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Out: 25th December 2012
Spaghetti western set in America's Deep South, which Tarantino calls "a southern". The plot follows a slave-turned-bounty hunter (Foxx) who, with the help of his German mentor (Waltz), sets out to rescue his wife (Washington) from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner (DiCaprio). A plantation owner who forces his slaves to fight in twisted death matches. The fantastic cast also includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sacha Baron Cohen, Kurt Russell, Don Johnson, James Remar, Anthony LaPaglia, RZA and Tom Savini. It will be very interesting to see DiCaprio in a villain role, especially such a nasty one.
12. Gravity
Starring: Sandra Bullock, George Clooney
Director: Alfonso Cuarón
Out: 21st November 2012
A space mission to repair the Hubble telescope meets disaster when satellite debris collides with the space station, destroying most of it and killing all but two astronauts. The remaining pair must now fight for survival and try to find a way home. This will be shot in the same style as the director's Children Of Men, and anyone who saw that will know just how visually amazing it should be in a space setting. In fact, it's said to be even more ambitious with new rigs to create subjective immersion in space – James Cameron says it's "5 years ahead of its time" on a technical level. That's some hype. Can't wait to see it, even if Sandra Bullock isn't the most interesting leading actress.
13. The Expendables 2
Starring: Stallone, Statham, Arnie, Willis, Li, Lundgren, Van Damme, Norris, Couture, Crews
Director: Simon West
Out: 17th August 2012
The general feeling about the first movie was that it wasn't as good as its line-up. That may change here with Stallone handing over directing duties to Simon West (Con Air, Tomb Raider). This time Schwarzenegger will do a full week's shooting, Bruce Willis will do two weeks as the expected villain. With the addition of Van Damme and Chuck Norris this is now the greatest action cast ever assembled. Let's hope they can do it justice with a compelling story or at least some stunning fight scenes.
14. Dredd (Judge Dredd reboot)
Starring: Karl Urban, Lena Headey, Olivia Thirlby
Director: Pete Travis
Out: 21st September 2012
A day in the life of Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) as he puts his rookie, Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), through her paces to see if she's worthy of becoming a Judge. Lena Headley plays villain Madeline Madrigal, the leader of a gang who overrun a City Block where the majority of the action takes place. Unlike Stallone's '95 version, Dredd won't take his helmet off. The costumes and set photos are fairly disappointing so far, as is the slightly dull sounding plot. But the creative team behind this are strong (it was developed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland), so we expect to be pleasantly surprised with the finished product. It's great source material if they can get it right.
15. Prometheus (Alien prequel)
Starring: Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba
Director: Ridley Scott
Out: 8th June 2012
Ridley Scott returns to the Alien universe, but somewhere in development this turned from a straight prequel into 'something else'. Indeed it sounds like the Aliens we know may now turn out to be little more than cameos. Still, Ridley Scott's directing a deep space thriller and that's something to relish. Rapace (Girl With' Dragon Tattoo) will play a scientist on board the 'Prometheus' alongside explorer Charlize Theron. Michael Fassbender will play an android. Scott has said it'll be set 30 years before Alien and include the origins of the 'space jockey' creature seen near the alien eggs in the original.
16. The Great Gatsby
Strarring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher
Director: Baz Luhrmann
Out: 25th December 2012
Remake of the Robert Redford-starrer, which was an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's romantic-drama. On Long Island, Midwesterner Nick (Maguire) is lured into the lavish world of his neighbour, Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio), a young, mysterious millionaire with shady business connections and an obsessive love for Daisy Buchanan (Mulligan). Nick soon begins to see through the cracks of Gatsby's nouveau riche existence, where obsession, madness, and tragedy await. The movie's timely theme criticises the irresponsible lifestyles of certain wealthy people. Baz Luhrmann, director of Moulin Rouge and Australia, is well suited to the grand material, and DiCaprio rarely disappoints.
17. Paradise Lost
Strarring: Bradley Cooper, Camilla Belle, Dominic Purcell, Casey Affleck, Rufus Sewell
Director: Alex Proyas
Out: TBC 2012
18. John Carter (Of Mars)
Starring: Taylor Kitsch, Willem Dafoe, Lynn Collins, Thomas Haden Church, Mark Strong
Director: Andrew Stanton
Out: 9th March 2012
Civil War vet John Carter (Taylor Kitsch – Gambit in Wolverine) is transplanted to Mars, where he discovers a lush, wildly diverse planet whose main inhabitants are 12-foot tall green barbarians (one of whom is played by Willem Dafoe). Finding himself a prisoner of these creatures, he escapes, only to encounter the 'Princess of Helium' who is in desperate need of a savior. Based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel first published in 1912, this, astonishingly, went in pre-production in 1931 and has been in and out of development hell ever since. Directed by Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, Wall-E), it all sounds slightly Avatar. The first trailer wasn't too impressive, but perhaps the second will be better, once bigger fx are completed.
19. Snow White And The Huntsman
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Ian McShane
Director: Rupert Sanders
Out: 1st June 2012
This reimagining sees the Huntsman (Hemsworth) ordered to take Snow White (Stewart) into the woods to be killed but instead winding up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen (Theron). The dwarves are a who's who of British acting talent – Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Stephen Graham, Eddie Izzard, Ray Winstone, Nick Frost – and yes there are eight, which means one gets killed probably. Tonally, this is a dark fantasy adventure movie. There's another Snow White movie out in March called Mirror Mirror, which is a ghastly-looking kids' version. This actually has an excellent trailer and may well surprise the doubters. Part of a planned trilogy.
20. Jack The Giant Killer
Starring: Nicholas Hoult, Eleanor Tomlinson, Stanley Tucci, Ian McShane, Ewan McGregor
Director: Bryan Singer
Out: 15th June 2012
Fantasy/adventure film based loosely on the beanstalk fairy tale. A young farmhand (Hoult) unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants thought only to exist in legend. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost. Jack must fight for the kingdom, and the love of a brave princess. Director Singer is looking to redeem his box office fortunes after Superman Returns and Valkyrie. Tucci plays the villain, an adviser to the king (McShane) with designs on usurping power. Bill Nighy will play one of two heads on a giant. Like Snow White and Red Riding Hood, this is part of a recent trend for turning children's stories into action/thriller pictures, taking something fundamentally uncool and trying to make it so.
21. The Dark Knight Rises
Starring: Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gary Oldman
Director: Christopher Nolan
Release Date: 20 July 2012
It was a brave move naming a Batman film 'The Dark Knight', since it didn't have the word 'Batman' in it. There's nothing bold about the title here. That aside, this is easily 2012′s movie grail, the film that is going to dominate coverage. The plot is still largely unknown but we know that Hardy has been cast as Bane (see above), and Hathaway is Catwoman. Christian Bale had said he'd refuse to come to work if Robin was involved, but there's a chance Gordon-Levitt that is playing some reinterpreted version. Director Nolan has made it clear this is the final chapter for his Batman, so expect fireworks and major character death, probably. Bane is famous for breaking Batman's back.
22. The Avengers
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo
Director: Joss Whedon
Release Date: 4 May 2012
Running The Dark Knight a close second for hype will be The Avengers. The confirmed line-up includes Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Nick Fury, Black Widow, and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). Ruffalo is replacing Ed Norton as The Hulk. But who are they going to fight? It's a challenge to find a credible threat that requires their combined effort – it looks like they're turning to outer space for that, with a bit of Loki megalomania thrown in too. Director Joss Whedon has a daunting task on his hands.
23. The Amazing Spider-Man
Starring: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen
Director: Marc Webb
Release Date: 4 July 2012
Spider-Man gets a slightly uncalled for reboot that takes him back to high school. 27-year-old Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) is the new Peter Parker and Mary Jane is nowhere to be seen, replaced by Gwen Stacey (Emma Stone). This time Spider-Man has to face down against the Lizard (Ifans) and the "Proto-Goblin," (Khan) a test subject of Norman Osborn's experimentations. Martin Sheen is Uncle Ben, who presumably has to be shot dead again. The director of 500 Days Of Summer takes over from trilogy director Sam Raimi. They're also going for a much lower budget, so expect more character work, less morphing sand.
24. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Starring: Martin Freeman, James Nesbitt, Richard Armitage, Sir Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis
Director: Peter Jackson
Release Date: 14 December 2012
Hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) journeys to the Lonely Mountain accompanied by a group of dwarves to reclaim a treasure taken from them by the dragon Smaug. The LOTRings prequels are full steam ahead in New Zealand, with Peter Jackson in the director's chair and union troubles put behind them. James Nesbitt will play Bofur, one of the main dwarves. Sir Ian McKellen returns as Gandalf. Others returning include Andy Serkis, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Ian Holm, Hugo Weaving, Elijah Wood, and Christopher Lee. The movie will be split, with chapter two (the literally-titled The Hobbit: There and Back Again) released December of the following year.
25. The Bourne Legacy
Starring: Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Joan Allen
Director: Tony Gilroy
Release Date: 3 August 2012
Matt Damon's not in it. The character of Jason Bourne is not in it. Damon and previous director Greengrass were determined to end the series with the third movie, but now the studio wants it to continue as it's making them too much money. So this installment will feature all new characters and tell a different story about the company behind the murderous shadow government operation Treadstone, which brainwashed covert agents like Bourne and turned them into ruthless killers. The new protagonist (Renner) will be another agent and probably a killer who went through experiences similar to Bourne's or the character played by Clive Owen in the original movie. New director Gilroy adapted the original trilogy and directed Michael Clayton, so it's actually in pretty decent hands.
26. Skyfall (Bond 23)
Starring: Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney
Director: Sam Mendes
Release Date: 9 November 2012
MGM's bankruptcy troubles are behind them so Bond is finally back in production. The plot sees him question his loyalty to M when her past actions bring serious consequences to the present. After MI6 itself is attacked, Bond must seek out and eliminate the threat. Bardem plays the main villian. Fiennes' role is undisclosed. Young Ben Whishaw is the new Q. China will be one of the locations. Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Jarhead) directs from a script by Wade and Purvis, who've been the main writers on every Bond since TWINE. Quantum was a stumble from Casino Royale, taking the freshness and packing it back into the Bond formula. Hopefully they have learnt from their mistakes. 2012 will be the 50th anniversary of Dr. No and the franchise.
27. Ice Age 4 Continental Drift
Genre: Adventure/Animation/Family/Comedy
Directed by: Steve Martino, Mike Thurmeier
Written by: Michael Berg, Jason Fuchs
Starring: Ray Romano, Queen Latifah, Denis Leary, John Leguizamo
Release Date: July 13, 2012
Scrat still scrambling after the cursed acorn he's been craving since the first Ice Age film. Only this time, the chase has world-changing consequences. Forget what you've learned in geology about the continents forming as a result of massive tectonic shifts and volcanic eruptions tearing land masses apart. Scrat's Continental Crack Up reveals that these seismic crack-ups came about from Scrat's nutty misadventures!

Vexx, I think you hit it spot on!
Needless to say, she renders him defenseless throughout the novels... though he begins to hold his own. He does a fair job... considering she DOES HAVE an unfair advantage!
Heck, if she were real, she'd probably turn me into a stammering simpleton... if I happened upon her.

Yeah, I agree with you guys. Lawrence had finally caught up to her somewhat, and was no longer trying to impress her by taking stupid risks or showing off his mad merchant skillz. He was actually starting to genuinely get through her defenses, so Horo stepped up her game. It felt like she was trying to get him to do something to give her an excuse to call off their relationship, but on the highest possible note.

My take on Holo is just based on the two seasons of anime that I've seen.
She is a very interesting character and an attractive one but I think that she would be difficult to get along with. She can be very rude and her drinking appears to be problematic. She is also manipulative and as a wolf is probably predatory. But to balance that she needs companionship (a pack mate?) and when her trust is won will likely be a loyal friend for life.

She likes toying with whatever interests her, acting very wity and swift, all the while she enjoys being pampered, treated to large amounts of alcoholic beverages and socialising.

But it must also be noted that I am not Lawrence. Much of the complications between Lawence and Horo has partially been Lawrence's own fault. Don't take it wrongly, he's a good lad, but he can also be somewhat of a hypocrithe at times, he often locks Horo out of his thoughts and emotions, he won't share, but she senses it all, while Lawrence stubbornly continues to deny the truth, as in the third book at the inn, and that is what pisses her off. She may be a ral treat, although I do think all-in-all I'd have a much easier time with her than most others.
Maja basically she's...enigmatic. But at the same time highly thoughtful and reasonable. I mean, she can get pissed, I'm not stating the opposite, but only for serious reasons (such as when her fiancé cheated on her) and the biggest obstacle in getting to know her better is rather her exaggerated charm. We were trying to negotiate at a flea market and because of Maja's unusually happy and charming way of talking the merchant actually thought she was hitting on him, even though it's just how she communicates. He gave us a horrid look and then told us to leave before things went ugly. But not before giving us the 2 kg Schwarzwald ham for free so that he'd get rid of us

That's what makes Horo so compelling - she's the other half. Some people just have the ability to flirt their way into anything, so well that they no longer know how to signal they are serious.
That's also what makes Lawrence so compelling - he's able to stick to Horo despite her massive character flaws, and even blame himself for it. It's rare that a pairing works so well in anime.
Moreover, there have been several times where it's implied that he's tried to share his emotions, but basically been shut down because Horo doesn't know how (or want) to yield any ground.
So yeah.. not to jump to his defense on cue, but I felt up for a little pointless arguing

I have to say that the flirting/re-buffs between Lawrence and Holo had me on the edge of my seat! Once Lawrence finally said "I Love You" I thought she'd finally crack, but no! Obviously the season 2 finishes with them getting onto a boat. Season 3 will be done when the funding arrives for it. Tough economy + earthquake/tsunami means delayed to 2013...

Hi, everyone. First post ever on this forum. Never really thought before that it felt compelled enough to actually write in any forum dedicated to anime and manga; but now I did since Wolf and Spice really is something different for me.
And seeing that this thread are dedicated to Horo I wanted to share some of my thoughts about her as an character. I do hope that I'll be concise and don't flow off in, what may be, my rantings.
Many traits of her have been pointed out straight from the beginning of this thread:
* in times she's spoiled and insolent, Most likely because of her fears of being alone.
* Shifts between accents and mannerisms like a actor shifts roles, not because she's an unreliable and disingenuous person but because that is in a way a shield for her in many ways.
* The constant converse between her appearance and true age and the total of all her previous experiences.
* Her emotional needs are weighted against her fears constantly.
* She is undoubtedly a very playful and social person despite her age; she never really lost her inner child one could say.
* She truly is "Horo the wise wolf" and she isn't afraid to flaunt about it; constantly putting Lawrence on his place.
* She is reliable and strong despite her shifting nature, like at times it seems that she changed her mind or is about to break she makes an unexpected turn and continues onward to further secure her accompanying with Lawrence and/or to help him.
And many more.
For me much of this is true about her, that she is a character of contradiction whilst Lawrence is a character of consistency, although in his case it's more from the viewpoint of a child in regards to Horo's own life. He can be consistent because he haven't lived long as Horo and neither have been meet with the same challenges as her, nor will he never have to face what she has to.
In Horo's harsh reality death will always find those partners that isn't sharing the same fate as her. This is a blunt contradiction in her character, something she's painfully aware of. Why should she choose a male that will die in short? There are no facts that she couldn't choose another wolf god; even though the one she meet was below her in any ways, also her disgust of that wolf, she still have a opportunity to bless him with her as a mate. In doing that she could avoid the shattering experience of Lawrence inescapable death.
Also, to blunt from my side, there isn't a way to be sure for her if Lawrence could grant her the happiness of motherhood. Another contradiction in her character. Of course the possibility can be so that it's a common knowledge that the limits of two individuals from different species can be overstepped if one is a god. On another thought: it could be so that she isn't wanting a child so bad that she would forsake Lawrence in favour for a pregnancy. But seeing that she is afraid of loneliness and that she have more or less betrayed herself in season 2, sorry haven't read the LN even if I love to, for me it's quite clear she wish for one child at least. For me this is also a way for Lawrence to 'escape' death through her and to ease the burden of loneliness some for her. Something she might be aware of.
Being my only point of reference, the anime, when we see how she as an character progressed from first season to second season one could actually lose sympathy for her in the second season. When she became somewhat of a bystander in some regards to Lawrence life but for me this is perfectly natural seeing how close they're are to the end. Let me clarify what I mean by "bystander". In the first season she took control quit firmly, only releasing control when to test and tease him and when the moment, the situation, was too close to her true feelings. For me this might reveal a weakness in her character that she actually can't control her inner feelings in regards to Lawrence. Lets face it: she became close to Lawrence just as quickly as Lawrence became close to Her. The parting point between them are the stipulations that effects their own lives this is shown how they treat and react to each others. Her somewhat tentative ways of treating him and his dishonesty of his feelings for her are but two of many facts of this.
In the second season, when they came closer to her homelands, she realised something: that she never want to be alone but fate will render her so. Here she must find a way to deal with this truth. She left Lawrence alone to think, as I see it, to reminiscent about past times of older companions she lost; how she dealt with their partings and how she should deal with Lawrence's own. Her control over herself grew ever so weaker because of the lack of time, perhaps expedited by her minds own time frame, something we saw in the second season when she broke down and embarrassed herself by spouting out her feelings mixed with the sudden loss of her home and her mistrust of Lawrence intentions regarding her.
In her momentary breakdown her grief may of distorted her perception of her own feelings and she also reflected this on Lawrence even if there was a truth to find in her accusations about him seeing her as a plaything for his must basal desires. Not that this was his intentions at first but the fact is that he tried to kiss her quite close after their meeting because of selfishness and rushed emotions. He didn't either take her feelings into regards in that moment even if she orchestrated the events leading up to that moment it still made Lawrence lower his guard and hint his feelings for her. She remembers this and comes to conclusions about Lawrence without being adult about it and to ask him what he was thinking. When she finally does ask him it is in the worst moment when her self control is but nothing. She realise this and tells him that she's sorry for saying such wounding accusations and that it's also her own fault that they never been honest to each others.
Actually if she could had been blunt with her feelings with Lawrence she might avoided this painful experience at the inn. And couple this with the fact that Lawrence been learning from her how to play 'the game' with her, to hide his feelings or how to dress them in a unexpected manner, also the fact is that he's hiding his feelings naturally as a part of his character. This only strengthen the wall between them and makes it's difficult for her to know how to be true about him and her.
For me she have never been close to pathetic in the second season because of the difficulties she faces about Lawrence potentially becoming her mate and the unfairness of each others lives.
Let's call it a quit. I do have more to write about Horo but I don't want to put off anyone with a wall of text.

Go ahead.. walls of text are fine for a lot of us, I'm sure..
I suspect she watched Lawrence for quite a while before she chose him. She isn't a very spontaneous person (except when it comes to food). She tends to go with the flow and rely on Lawrence for entertainment.
She has serious trust issues. She can't just truly expose her deepest feelings to other people, and she even has to trick other people into revealing their own true feelings, rather than just naturally finding out.
I don't think it was a matter of embarrassment, because she willingly embarrassed herself in front of Diana. She's more afraid of being completely honest than of losing Lawrence (she even tries to leave him before he falls for her completely).

Hey guys, I was hoping for some help understanding a couple things:
-In volume 4, where Holo gets upset after Lawrence says "those two get along well" (referring to Elsa and Evan). I've read over this scene many times and still can't figure out what exactly is happening in both persons' minds. Why is she so upset? What is it about asking her "what will we do when we reach your home" that makes him afraid to ask and makes both of them afraid of the answer?
-In volume 5 or near the end of the second season, why is she so afraid of Lawrence's kindness, to the extent that she wants to leave him there? Is it that she is afraid that she will become tired of him, or the other way around?

Also, I think the situation around asking the question and answer is... He is afraid she will still want to part ways and he is afraid to hear her say that, while she is afraid to say that she is beginning to see that she wants to be with this mortal... knowing that he will one day pass away.
In Volume 5, I believe it is the same situation.
But, this post is only my foolish opinion.

In volume 4, Holo and Lawrence are still thinking that it's over once they reach Yoitsu, and are consciously avoiding the "what happens after that?" question because they don't expect to stay together, even if they want to. So when Lawrence slips up, it forces him to ask that taboo question, even if Holo has no answer. She's upset because of that - she can't make a choice, she has no answer to give him, it's just a painful reminder of that inevitability, and all she can do is forcefully bury the issue again.
In volume 5, she's afraid that his softness is spoiling their relationship, by making it progress too quickly. She doesn't want to face the part of the relationship that comes after the initial "high", and seems to consider it a downhill slope to an inevitably painful end. So she asks him to let her go. But she's so obviously miserable about it that he can't let her go yet, especially since she begs him to be selfish for a change (oh, the irony).
My best guess as to WHY she's afraid of that is this: she can't "grow old" with Lawrence. Unless she was lying, that's the only form she can take. He'll age, but she won't. It'll probably be pretty tough when other people notice that unless he keeps her hidden (not fun or fair to her) or gives up his dream to stay in one place with a shop (which isn't fair to him).

In its 13th year, OSC's Summer Institute (SI) 2001 was a success for all involved: student participants, returning student helpers, OSC and Advanced Computing Center for the Arts & Design (ACCAD) staff! Everyone who participated can take credit for the great outcome of SI2001 and its rewards.
Students gained an increase in computer science knowledge, new friendships, an enhanced ability to work on a team, a unique opportunity to use state-of-the-art supercomputers, and exposure to campus life. Students left SI2001 with a greater confidence in their individual learning abilities and their ability to adapt while working and living in a new environment with new friends of similar interests.

Students worked together in five teams on five diverse and challenging projects.
The projects presented to this year's Summer Institute class were the most challenging ever. The students aptly met this challenge and produced excellent programming, scientific visualizations, and an understanding of these research-level topics.
The Mechanical Engineering project consisted of simulating the vibrational motions of the Cosmos-1 satellite, which is currently being built. Students' high-quality work caught the engineers' attention from the companies building the satellite. The engineers were in constant contact with the group, helping direct their work and using the results themselves. This is the first time the results calculated in any SI project were used by outside organizations.

The Parallel Processing project was designed mainly to teach the parallel processing language needed to split up a problem and assign different tasks to different processors. Their parallel code was run on supercomputers containing 128- and 256- separate processors. They simulated wave motion in one, two, and three dimensions.

The Wave Motion project this year concentrated on the study of acoustics. An auditorium was designed and sounds were traced throughout the room to see how distortion and volume changed. Input to the equations governing sound motion was the rock song, "Layla." How the song would be heard by members of the audience in different seats was studied.

In the Computational Chemistry project, actual molecules were built up from individual atoms using the laws of physics and chemistry. This challenging process was accomplished using software called Gaussian: the same software used by academic Chemical researchers. In just one week, students were able to analyze 8 molecules starting with simple water and ending with "Bucky Balls:" 60 carbon atoms bound together in a sphere-like shape. Their visualizations consisted of showing the actual vibrations and rotations that were possible for the molecules.

The VRML gave students an opportunity to work with the new Motion Capture Laboratory (MOCAP) developed by ACCAD while putting choreographed movements in a virtual world of their own creation. In the MOCAP lab, students wore special suits which had 44 reflecting balls attached at critical points of the body. While two students ran through a choreographed swordfight, 16 cameras on the periphery of the studio calculated the position of each body marker. The output was an identical reproduction of the actual sword fight motions. The data describing the sword fight was converted into two gladiators fighting in a Roman coliseum. This technology is similar to that used by Industrial Light and Magic to produce many of the effects in their "Star Wars" movies.

The students in each project group had to do a vast amount of work, in a short period of time, to finish their projects. This was a crash course in time management. First, they had to learn UNIX, the basic operating system of all the computers they used, and then they had to learn a high-level programming language such as Fortran or C++ to write the code for their project. For the three-dimensional project, students learned a virtual reality modeling language (VRML). OSC and ACCAD staff taught the students these fundamentals before they tackled their projects.
The students were required to do their own work from code implementation to final results. Excellent programming skills and an understanding of the project science/engineering were necessary for the completion of their projects. Lastly, the students made a video animation displaying their simulation data. This short animation was the ultimate goal of each project. They concluded with formal presentations of their findings at the SI Closing Ceremonies.

Stroudsburg —The Sherman Theater at 524 Main St. in Stroudsburg announces its third annual Sherman Rock N Ink Tattoo Expo, scheduled for Jan. 25-27.
The expo, which is sponsored by Inkwitch Tattoo, features dozens of tattoo artists, piercers and vendors performing live inside the theater. Many of the artists are from Pennsylvania, such as Inkwitch Tattoo and Rock N Willy's Tattoo, both of Stroudsurg, the Quillian, of Allentown, and House of Ink, from Exeter. Other shops featured are coming from New York, New Jersey and Maryland.
In addition to tattoo artists and piercers, retail vendors will be on hand to sell tattoo supplies, tattoo-themed apparel, as well as unique items such as handmade swords and heavy-metal-themed clothing for dogs. Some booths will be on site to hand out information and free samples, such as the Hotel of Horror of Saylorsburg and the Swisher Xtreme cigar brand with appearances from its models, the Swisher Sweeties.
During the course of each day, live bands will perform in the Living Room. At the end of each night, eclectic rockers This Way to the Egress will perform on the main stage in the expo room while a carnival sideshow, including contortionists, fire eaters, and burlesque dancers, perform.
Two of the most popular features surrounding this year's event are the tattoo contests and the special guest tattoo artist, Sarah Miller, who was recently the runner-up on Spike TV's "Ink Master" Season 2. Miller is an artist and co-owner of Wyld Chyld Tattoos in Pittsburgh.
This year's contests will be held live and on stage as a panel of judges critique the ink featured on each participant. Winning contestants receive a trophy for their taste in tattoos, while the shop that had tattooed the winner will receive a plaque in recognition of its work.
Tickets: $12 single-day pass, or $17 three-day pass. Children under 13 admitted for free, must be accompanied by an adult. The event begins at 4 p.m. Jan. 25, and continues at 2 p.m. Jan. 26 and 10 a.m. Jan. 27. For more info visit shermantheater.com or call the box office at 570-420-2808.

Do you have some basic questions about garage renovation in Texas? Below we've written up some of the basics about a garage turned into a room or other conversion ideas. Hopefully we can help clear up any confusion or questions you may have.
Are You Looking At A Garage Renovation In Taylor, TX?
Putting your mother-in-law out in the garage doesn't have to be something bad. Many people are looking at a garage renovation as an extension of their home, and coming up with ways to turn it into a viable living area. You can convert part or all of your garage into an entertainment room, an extra bedroom, a family room or an indoor/outdoor dining area, or just about anything else you can come up with.
There are many reasons why renovating your garage into an extra living space is a good idea. For one thing, they are much cheaper and more cost effective than adding an addition onto your home, or having to move into a bigger house. You have a complete and almost totally empty room already at hand with a foundation, roof and walls already there. This makes garage renovation a lot easier. Converting your garage into a living area isn't as messy or disruptive to the rest of your home.
Do You Need A Professional Garage Renovation For Taylor?
Depending on the type of room you want to have, a garage already has electricity. In some cases, the plumbing is already installed and may just need some upgrading. This helps immensely as the major expenses are putting these in from scratch. If a garage conversion is done properly, it can actually raise the value of your property too. This is a big improvement and can add tens of thousands of dollars when and if you decide to sell your home.
Now just because this is a low cost alternative to an addition doesn't mean you should jump into this without some thought. For one, you have to consider the available space, and, if you're converting the whole garage, you'll to have to find an alternative means of keeping your vehicles safe and secure.
You also have to think about going to your local building planning office and apply for a building permit if you do this yourself. You also need to find out what the zoning laws are for electricity and plumbing. Luckily, we have local professionals ready to help you in Taylor right now, so give us a call: (888) 452-8719!
While a renovation can up the value of your home, it can also drop it, especially for those who think that having a garage is a must. You need to check with your real estate agent about these concerns. You also need to check with your lender, and get their permission as well. Some mortgages have fine print that don't allow you to alter your property like a renovation before contacting them.

There are also other things to consider as well when it comes to garage renovations. The renovation can't interfere with your neighbors privacy, or their views of the area. If you live in a place where there is a homeowner's association, you need to make sure you are not violating any terms or agreements. If you are going to use your space as a home business, there may be extra taxes that have to be paid as well.
This isn't supposed to be a deterrent from having the garage renovation and room of your dreams, but you need to make sure that you have all of your bases covered first. It would be much more of a tragedy to start your renovation project, only to be shut down part of the way through. Make sure you get a building permit if you do it yourself, and get permission from the homeowners organization if necessary.

In my university house, my room was in the loft and as such had skylights.
I was woken one morning by a large crow stomping about on the skylight and making its crow noise.
some one threw a snowball at my window once
and smashed it, i was cold for days.
- japes this'd this
Well don't just sit there
Let KiK in.
someone's knockers on my window
(.) (.)
someone's ringing the bell
open the door it's Paul McCartney
I think it's the charity guy from earlier
he said "I'll come back later. Take care my lovely"
people that knock on the window instead of the door
why do they do it? its just so aggressive and unnecessaryDarwinDude this'd this
once a guy knocked on my bedroom shutters
i was in my pants. fucking terrified me. then i had to shout at him to wait a minute while i put a shirt on and he tried to sell me a phone line while he carried on a conversation on his mobile. fuck off
guy on the outside of the house, girl on the inside
gender binaries.
I wish whoever is delivering something to my house before midnight arrives soon.
Otherwise this guaranteed next day delivery option is BULLSHIT.
It's not going to turn up, is it :(
Non-tax paying bastards
Apparently they'll refund the cost (£0) of my delivery if they fail to honour this guarantee.
Nice one lads.
