Good morning all
Today I am proud to present the new arc of Let the Blood Flow, but it's not kicked off by me - it's kicked off by Hell with a guest chapter. Of course, the collaboration is nowhere near on the scale of E.S.S. nor the current experiment AkatsukiYu is doing. But it is great to see someone else's interpretation of this AU and really, there's no 'wrong' or 'right' way to interpret it anyway.
Now, I've given Hell almost complete creative freedom apart from, well, killing off Clare or things like that, and he wrote this chapter before sending it to me. So really, please review it as his work, rather than mine.
Spoiler for space:
Have fun.

Yosei, I'm sorry to say this, but this chapter was horrible.
English-wise, I have no problems, but your presentation was absolutely horrid. The way you had Clarice going from one thing to the next, although reasonable, it's not well executed. Your wording was choppy, and your transition, like i said, was just as choppy.
In terms of Clarice, I felt that you should have given us a better presentation of what was happening in Clarice's mind. I mean honestly, when you're a fighter without a sponsor of any sorts, and on top of that a single mother who's only means of earning money at this point is to fight, it's going to do some harsh things to her mind, especially if she ends up being rejected by all the schools in succession. I mean she went through at least 4 or 5 schools, and one after another she's being rejected. There is going to be some mental trauma on her part, to the point that when she's asking Galatea for a chance to join the school, she's getting desperate.
In essence, you're just giving us a 2-dimensional picture of what's happening to her. Your previous chapters, such as the fight between Clare and Flora, had a deeper, more 3-dimensional feel to it. I felt that I could see the pain, the conflict between the two of them as they fought it out in the ring before Clare took over and finished it.
This chapter in general felt very 2-dimensional. There's streamlining, then there's just a hack-job. This felt a lot like a hack job. Even Clarice's home life could have been much more thought out, and more in depth. Mind you, I might have missed some things, but it would be nice if we could get a clear idea of what's happening in her home life. Heck, when she's out looking for a new place to train at, it would help a lot more to connect with Clarice, as it were, if we were to see how all this traveling from one school to the next was affecting Miata, and how Clarice is struggling to deal with her inability to fight really well, and to keep Miata fed every day.
Remember, a parent's first priority goes to their child. Their child's needs come before their own, so it would've added a lot more depth and feel to this chapter to see Clarice struggling to see to it that Miata always got the better share of whatever she could scrape together with whatever remains of her savings.
Now in terms of your actual presentation, like I said it's really, really choppy. You were just jumping from one thing to next. It didn't feel like this was an even line at all. It felt as if you wrote the scenes all on different sheets, and then just took it all together and slapped it together, rather than trying to bring it all together. I felt like I was in a storm of paragraphs, rather than a flowing river of a chapter.
Again I apologize, but this is not one of your best chapters.

@ghazkgull: Thanks for the review. If you noticed it wasn't Yosei that made this chapter, anyway I know what your talking about, but you'll realize that the chapters I write for Yosei are more like fillers. I know what your talking about, but when I was writing that chapter I felt there was no need to add all that extra stuff, and like in the manga they don't really say what happens to the characters when they are traveling, and thats what I went by.
Oh and Yosei don't forget to post the character bios. Lol
See told you guys I knew what was going to happen but did anybody listen?:heh

Aw ghazgkull please go easy on Hell.
He really did his best. Let's just chalk it up to different writing styles - and if you really feel some heavy-handed criticism is necessary, a PM could help too.
Of course, the task of a reviewer is to post publicly the comments. But on someone else's debut chapter, not too encouraging for the writer, even if it is a filler chapter...

Yeah I didn't actually write the chapter. I'll be honest, I don't regret it at all. Hell and I agreed that he would give it a go, he did his best, and I posted it up, that is good enough for me.
But of course, your criticism, given its honesty and its detail, is completely legitimate. It might be something Hell needs to rethink next time he sets off to work? I dunno.

Ah, I see.
Now here are short blurbs on the protagonist and supporting characters. And one character who proved quite popular several chapters ago will also be asserting a very significant presence in this arc...

And to supplement Hell's chapter, these are the profiles of the new characters he had introduced into the AU.

@Yosei: Cool you finally put the bio's that I made up on here.
Something I forgot to mention, never say your fic is on a lower scale than E.S.S. I think E.S.S. is on a much lower scale than your story.

Hnnnn, Hell's chapter isn't a failure...it's just the basic outline. b Well, by my standards, it's an outline All he needs to do is to keep adding in details. Hell can see what he's writing out in his own mind, but we, the readers, need help with that so he needs more descriptions to help us see what he sees.
That's all I'll say on it.

I read one on fanfiction.net... It was not very good at all. It's a Flora x Sailor Moon. I give my praise to the author for writing it, but the fic sort of make me cringe :S
I suppose you can consider my novelty to be a Flora fic, which is yet to be posted and is delayed.

Every word must conjure
I see that you really took apart Hell's story. Some of your criticisms are justified, but well, presentation wise it was still acceptable.
Also about the Flora fic, I'm trying to write a ficlet, to make up for my botched up effort previously.
I personally just felt uncomfortable at the way Clarice was being moved around from point to point & situation to situation without much detail. Miata seemed a bit of an accessory. It would've been more focused if you began with the Agatha fight, & perhaps ended it with Clare's accepting Clarice. All the while, you could obscure the reasons for Clarice's determination, & then reveal Miata right at the end. It sounds a bit weird, but it would relieve the pain of Clarice being pulled in 2 sides: to career & her role as a parent.

Y'know what Yosei? I believe we completely forgot an important element in the last story in the bout between Irene and Clare - where in the world is the crowd at the end? lol They would have been screaming the roof down when Irene and Clare exchanged their final blows....
Hnn, let me copy n paste that particular manuscript and let me play with it for a few hours? ?

I spent my writing time with AkatsukiYu's assigned arcs yesterday, so the boxing chapter has been slightly delayed. But I think it will be up today or tomorrow.

The Important Rules of Buffet Table Decors to Serve Meal with Love
- 0.1 Buffet table decors have to be elegant and must blend well with the set up.
- 1 Buffet Table Decors
Buffet table decors have to be elegant and must blend well with the set up.
Buffet dinners are a great way of entertaining a lot of guests at the same time. It's easy to serve dinner in a buffet arrangement. The advantage of this dinner is the host can spend ample time with the guests and not worry about serving. Well buffet table decors look appealing and inviting. So, if you want to make an impression on your invitees, add a dash of color and a hint of frill to your buffet table. It may seem a tad difficult to think of ways to decorate your table when you are drained out after making a sumptuous meal.
Take a look at some of the easy buffet table decors given below and get a few ideas to make your dinner party an unforgettable memory.
Frills are the most important part of Buffet table decors. A frill along the edge of the table which matches the table cloth or complements it will enhance the look of your table. It brings certain uniformity to the table and makes it stand out in the dining hall. Pearly white frills go well with tables of any shape. However, you can use colors that contrast too.
A tablecloth decides the overall look of your table. White table cloths are a common choice for most of the celebrations. But, if you wish to experiment with your buffet table decors, add a dash of color with checkered or monochromatic table cloths.
A rectangular table gives you little choice to put up centerpieces. However, if you are arranging a buffet on a circular table, then centerpieces are a must. A centerpiece does not have to be a flower arrangement always. It can be decorative arrangements of salads, a fruit carving or an ice carving.

Holy smokes. When Snowy Owl made this site 10 years ago, I figured Club Penguin would be here forever. I never considered, given how popular the game was, that CP would go away, or become something different. But shows what I know, right? Club Penguin is closing March 29, 2017.
So goodbye, Club Penguin and all the penguin friends I made. Thanks for the parties and snowball fights. Especially, thanks for all the Connect Four games in the Ski Lodge.
Most important, thanks to all you penguins who visited and commented on our site. I swear, our mission guides are still the best you can find on the web! We spent so much time playing and replaying and replaying those missions just so we got everything right 🙂
Thanks to Snowy for letting me help him with this site, and thanks to Frothe Farkle for always checking in!
I look forward to seeing what Club Penguin Island is. It better have Connect Four!
Waddle on!

DEDDINGTON, a parish and small town in the hundred of Wootton, in the county of Oxford, 9 miles N.E. of Woodstock, and 15.5 N. of Oxford. It is situated near the Oxford canal, and the rivers Sucre and Cherwell. The parish contains the hamlets of Clifton and Hempton. It appears in Domesday as Daddington, and was anciently a corporate town, returning two members to parliament. The manor of Deddington formerly belonged to the Chesnies. The town, which contains some well-built houses, and is well supplied with water, has gradually decayed, and the ancient market is at present discontinued. Some of the inhabitants are engaged as wheelwrights and brewers but the trade in malt liquors has declined. It is a polling-place for the county, and petty sessions are held by the county magistrates on the first Saturday in each month. The living is a vicarage* in the diocese of Oxford, value with the curacy of Clifton, £150, in the patronage of the Dean and Chapter of Windsor. The church, dedicated to SS. Peter and Paul, is a large and handsome structure, with square tower. It contains some ancient brasses and a piscina. The charities amount to £153 per annum. The Wesleyans and Independents have chapels. There is a National school, and four almshouses. Sir W. Scroggs, Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, and Sir Thomas Pope, founder of Trinity College, Oxford, were born here. There are remains of a castle on the E. side of the town, extending over nearly ten acres, in which Piers Gaveston, favourite of Edward II., was imprisoned. The Dean and Canons of Windsor, Christ Church College, and the Duchy of Lancaster, are lords of the manor. Deddington deanery contains 21 benefices. Fairs are held on the 21st August and the 22nd November for cattle.The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) Transcribed by Colin Hinson ©2003

Kalalau Trail to Hanakapi'ai Beach and Falls
On our second day in Kauai, all present and future Daums were convinced to go on a hike to Hanakapi'ai Beach along the Kalalau Trail. The beach is the first destination on this scenic trail that wraps around eleven miles of the rugged Na Pali Coast.
We started the hike at the Ke'e Beach trailhead before noon. The trail was in shadow for most of the way there, making for cool temperatures and a dark jungly atmosphere. The amount of tropical greenery was astounding: lush succulents, dangling vines, banyan and other odd tropical trees with hanging roots, wild flowers and small purple orchids, ferns, palms, moss, rustling grasses. Wildlife was scarce aside from wild chickens and an assortment of lizards, frogs, and spiders.
Luckily, the trail wasn't that wet. There were a few steep, slippery, and rutted areas and a couple stretches of mud. The hike was slow going on the way there as my parents aren't used to the combination of elevation changes and tropical scenery.
About a mile in, we were able to see the overlapping cliffs of the Napali Coast.

By the time we reached Hanakapi'ai Beach, the sun was overhead. We forded the rocky Hanakapi'ai Stream and sat under a tree for a lunch of boiled eggs, cheese and crackers, trail mix, bananas, and water. The waves pounded on the the rocky beach in front of us. It was relaxing.
My sister, J. and I decided to hike another two miles up the stream to see a waterfall. My parents would head back on their own and wait for us at the starting beach.
The hike to the falls was scenic too. It followed the stream, crossing a few times. The crossings involved skillful jumps or accidental soakings. The trail passed through ferns, bamboo forest, and under wild guava trees. Some guava had fallen, but it was very tart. Hanakapi'ai Valley was at one time populated with native Hawaiians that thrived off the bounty of the sea and by farming taro, bananas, and sweet potatoes. Around 1900, coffee was also planted and farmed in the valley by non-natives. However, by 1920 the valley was abandoned as native Hawaiians opted for less isolated locations to live.
The jungle had retaken all the scantiest evidence of habitation.

Hanakapi'ai Falls drops 120 feet into a large pool. There are a few smaller cascades just downstream from the pool. Beautiful. Signs warning of falling boulders were there to discourage people from getting too close, but we hiked up to the pool. Surrounded on three sides by towering cliffs, we listened to the roar of the water and were cooled by the misty breeze. A large slope of ferns and flowers was thriving.
Green peaks.
Tree and water.
The blue water of Ke'e Beach.
Kauai's water is so beautiful.
We began our hike back. It was hot and long, though not as muddy. We were more tired than we expected. Four miles later, and eight miles total, we were back at Ke'e Beach. The chickens ran up to us like our children. They were either expecting hugs or grain. We gave them neither.
The Daums (and J.) got into their Escape with smiles of physical satisfaction. We drove to weird melodies of Brian Wilson. The rest of the afternoon was spent sunbathing at the beach of Hanalei Bay. Beautiful mountains loomed behind us.

The Conversation: Could Blofeld Be the Next Bond Villain? And If So, Who Should Play Him?
A rumor I expected to see circulated a lot more this week is the "hint" that Blofeld might be the villain in the next James Bond movie (still only known as "Bond 23," although Daniel Craig apparently knows the secret title). I guess it's only a rumor and not a very trustworthy one at that, even if it does spring from the lips of the film's screenwriter, John Logan. All he said, as quoted by What Culture! from a BAFTA event, is a simple reiterated opinion he's said before: "Bond should always fight Blofeld."
That sort of thing usually leads to agreement, excitement and speculation in the blogosphere, but perhaps enough sites recognize that it's an extremely ambiguous remark and, more importantly, there is a huge issue involving the rights to the Blofeld character, among other classic 007 elements, which is precisely why neither Blofeld or the name S.P.E.C.T.R.E. (now known as Quantum) have shown up in the films in decades. Unless Sony, MGM, EON Productions and the estate of late Bond writer Kevin McClory have reached an unknown agreement, it would likely stay this way.
However, I'm very curious if there has indeed been a development we're not aware of. The fansite MI6 points out that Bond video games produced over the last decade had similarly been renaming or otherwise altering the role of Blofeld to get around the rights issue. Yet last year's Goldeneye 007 game from Activision not only features the Charles Gray version of the character (from Diamonds Are Forever), but has him officially named Blofeld. Alongside game versions of Craig and other modern incarnations of the franchise. That seems like there's similar potential for the movies, especially for a non-baldie type...
Of course, it's still just rumor for the moment. So let's just go to the bloggers and tweeters to see what they think of Blofeld maybe being in the upcoming follow-up to Quantum of Solace, and who should be cast in the role if so.
This sounds like a move in the right direction. Because for the first time in 40 years the James Bond franchise is in real trouble, at least when it comes to me — and I'm a person. I matter… Right? - John Nolte, Big Hollywood
Blofeld is arguably the Bond archnemesis, but hasn't figured in a Bond film since the early '80s. The timing seems right to reintroduce Blofeld to the franchise, and it sounds like Logan feels pretty strongly about the character. [...] Could EON work around the rights issue by using a Blofeld-like character without naming him? (I'm not sure if McClory owns the screen rights to 'Number One' in the context of Bond films, so EON might be able to use that as a designation for the head of Quantum, which is basically SPECTRE without using the name.) - Angie Han, /Film
Every great hero has a great villain. Batman has The Joker. Sherlock Holmes has Professor Moriarty. Luke Skywalker has Darth Vader. Professor X has Magneto. Sure, the protagonists may occasionally go off and battle smaller, less important villains, but they are nothing without their most powerful foe. For James Bond, that villain has always been Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the leader of SPECTRE. [...] Back when it was first reported that Javier Bardem had been approached to play Bond's newest villain, I hoped that it was being set up that the actor would actually be playing the leader of Quantum, the secret evil organization first heard about in Marc Foster's Quantum of Solace and hinted at in Casino Royale. Now it looks like that dream could become an actual reality. - Eric Eisenberg, Cinema Blend
If, indeed, John Logan's wry smile and comment about how "Bond should always fight Blofeld" meant anything at all, it was probably referring to a Blofeld-esque villain appearing in Bond 23 as opposed to Blofeld himself. Just as Quantum is the twenty-first century's stand-in for S.P.E.C.T.R.E., Ralph Fiennes's (or Javier Bardem's?) forthcoming villain role will likely be the twenty-first century stand-in for Blofeld. - Ben Moore, Screen Rant
I guess we've yet to see the real power behind Quantum, and there's no reason it couldn't be Ernst Blofeld. I just don't expect him to be scarred and to sit around stroking a cat. [....] Should it ever come to it, though, I do think Simon Russell Beale would be good casting for ol' Ernst. There were at one point rumours that he was going to be in the film, too. - Brendon Connelly, Bleeding Cool
Considering the modern tendency to examine new approaches to old heroes and villains alike, one wonders how Blofeld will be depicted in the new movie. Will he be the campy villain who likes to feed people who displease him to piranhas? Or will he be someone darker, more serious, as befits these troubled times? [...] One wonders, though, if Sir Sean Connery could be enticed before the cameras one last time for yet another Bond film. Not playing Bond may be very tempting indeed. - Mark Whittington, Yahoo!
@weinmanj: Doubt Bond 23 will bring back Blofeld, but if it does, the director will audition 2 actors, praise one, then kill him and pick the other guy
@MattMira: I am all for a Blofeld appearance, but please, give me some gadgets and don't go "rogue" again.
@nixskits: Alfred Molina. How about a slight combover & some Koi fish this time? :)

The Golden Age of Alec Baldwin (the best of the worst)
John Smith | 04/09/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Ok so all in all i liked this video...it combined some classic characters such as Thomas and Percy as well as new characters like Salty and Harvey.
Salty's Secret: 4/5
Very good introduction to Salty as well as a good welcome back to bill and ben. Salty comes to the island and is sent to work in the quarry with bill, ben, and mavis, even though he likes the sea. The reason this did not get a 5 is because the scenery is a bit dull and the "secret" advertised with the trucks was simply that Salty sings, however, the songs are very catchy and upbeat.
Harvey to the rescue: 4/5
Good way to teach children respect for others even if they look different. Harvey is a crane engine who the engines at first dislike because he looks different but then after he helped Percy when percy had an accident he proved himself to be useful and the engines soon befriended him. I had to take points off for the horrible scenery. In this story it shows even more. But only very educated children would be able to notice
No sleep for Cranky: 2.5/5
Im very happy to see Cranky but I was hoping he would be shown as less Cranky and not lonely and bitter. Cranky drops pipes on the tracks so they knock over a shed leaving Cranky trapped for the night with Bill, Ben, and Salty. Not very special at all. Though this story does get 2 points because it has comedy and for once a new character is introduced with proper development of character.
The Fogman: 4/5
A big improvement after the last story! A new fog machine comes to the island to replace a fogman but when the machine causes an accident for Thomas the fogman comes to the rescue and warns toby who is on the same line of the danger ahead. The Scenery for Misty Valley is alot better than the countryside seen in the last few stories. It only gets a 4 because I wish it was done with engines not seen this video like James, Henry, or Gordon.
A Bad Day For Harold: 3/5
The scenery has improved but this story does not have much towards the way of plot. Percy enjoys taking the mail so when a broken signal forces him to give his mail to harold he is upset. Harold later breaks down because it is too heavy for him and Percy saves him. It is nice to see a story about Harold the helicopter like in "make someone happy" but I do prefer the stories with engines.
Elizabith the Vintage Quarry Truck: 2/5
I was being generous with this one. It is by far the worst story on the video. It introduces Elizabith, who is a stuck up snotty truck that helped Thomas when he broke down carrying a special. The plot itself was a 3.5 but then it lost points for lines like "Thomas likes pulling specials, they make him feel special" and also for the poor ironic twist at the end where Elizabith turns out to be TFC's first car so he repaints her.
James the splendid red engine (song):5/5
This is an excellent song. It is catchy, witty, and shows an engine other than Thomas and Percy (like the better half of the video). Warning though this song is very easy to get stuck into your head!
Basicly this is a good buy for children who prefer chracters like bill, ben, mavis, and cranky. In General it is good too. I highly recomend it"

"We have about 5 Thomas DVDs. I love it because it is narrated by Alec Baldwin (who I prefer) and it has Salty, Cranky, and all the other fun "sidekicks" as well as the main trains. My 2 year old loves it because of it being Thomas but he asks for this more than any other."
Wrong toy train included
Phil Ritter | Palo Alto, CA USA | 04/11/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)
"The DVD selection of stories was fine and my grandson enjoyed the stories, which I would have rated 5 stars. However, the picture shows what looks to be Bertie the red bus as the "toy" included, which is one that my grandson had been asking for. Instead the package contained another blue Thomas the tank engine, of which we already have several. Perhaps Amazon should scan the current package to show the correct toy. Others that I have ordered from Amazon have contained toy trains that match the picture."
Great for kids!
B. Knox | Eastern Shore, MD | 04/06/2007

"Thomas and Friends never cease to please my grandson! Even better, is the free train with the dvd. You can't beat this deal!"

"I worked at Soka University full-time
Pros – Students are quite focused on learning and not distracted by either intercollegiate sports or binge drinking. Facilities are quite new. Soka Bistro's food is excellent.
Cons – Non-Soka Gakkai (SGI) believers are shut out of believers' meetings where the most important decisions are made behind closed doors; it's sort of like a small theocracy or communist party ruled regime. University President more likely to eulogize SGI Great Leader Ikeda than to discuss issues of academic significance. Curriculum is very rigid with fewer electives for students to choose from. Students are required to live in on-campus dorms all 4 years: infantilization. A large proportion of students come from feeder SGI high schools, many in Japan; certain ideas such as doubts about the SGI doctrine are verboten.
Advice to Senior Management – Decide whether Soka University is in large part a religious monument to Founder Ikeda of Soka Gakkai International or whether it is a bona fide university that upholds free inquiry and true faculty governance. If SUA is indeed a monument to Mr. Ikeda, then do not claim that it is a non-sectarian university. If it is not, then outlaw on-campus meetings in which only SGI members are welcome to attend.
No, I would not recommend this university to a friend"

What do we mean exactly when we use the word "Enlightenment"? Does the term indicate a set of doctrines, an intellectual movement, a distinctive approach to knowledge, or simply an especially interesting phase in the history of European culture? The question is as difficult to answer today as it was when the philosopher Immanuel Kant first raised it in the 1780s. Indeed, it is somewhat surprising that an object so hazy and ill-defined should continue to influence the modern imagination.
Over the past two decades the attention of scholars interested in the nature of the Enlightenment has gradually shifted from the study of major works and famous intellectual figures to that of ordinary activities involving wider groups of people: for example, the circulation of books and printed materials, education, religious and medical practices, social networks and scientific gatherings. If Kant defined the Enlightenment as a philosophical posture, a distinctive moral and intellectual attitude towards authority, this new historical perspective presents it as a diffuse and complex process of transformation of ancien régime society in a variety of domains. Eating the Enlightenment belongs to this type of approach "from below": focusing upon France from the late 17th to the mid 18th century, E.C. Spary traces the diffusion of new "stimulating" luxury foods - such as coffee, tea, syrups and spirits - and the creation of appropriate establishments for their sale. Following the careers of some prominent entrepreneurs in the field, she describes how and where these products were promoted and marketed, and the public's response to them.
The aim of the author is not, however, merely that of tracing the evolution of some novel habits of consumption, curious and entertaining though some aspects of the phenomenon might be. Her research shows how the appearance of such products required the development of specific technical skills connected with their preparation; it also generated a range of conflicting scientific views about the impact of stimulating substances on the bodies and minds of consumers. Some of the arguments focused on the mechanisms of what was broadly described as "digestion", and more generally about the most desirable forms of diet. At a time when medicine had very limited powers to cure, the dietary habits of those people who could afford to choose their food seemed crucial to their well-being: not just to their physical condition but also to the state of their emotions and their psychic balance.
But the issue was not just medical: a variety of moral and political considerations were also at stake. Throughout the age, luxury consumption of all kinds was the object of fierce controversy. Some writers regarded it as indispensable to the growth of the economy, because of its power to promote industry and generate employment, ultimately bringing prosperity to the working poor. Others stressed the wasteful immorality of excessive luxury when set against the destitution of the masses, and argued that productive resources should be directed instead towards the creation of more accessible and socially useful commodities. As for novel exotic foods, their potentially corrupting effects seemed especially dangerous since, by penetrating into people's bodies, they might affect their most intimate physical and psychic nature. The colonial provenance of some products, such as coffee, was also a source of concern: how could one be sure that the consumption of stimulants grown in a wilder, more primitive environment would not alter the faculties and character of European consumers? Coffee houses and cabarets have long been an object of interest to 18th-century historians, as they famously served as meeting places for dissident intellectuals and renowned literary personalities. In Spary's account, such establishments were not just places where the like-minded met to exchange ideas but also instruments of social promotion and workshops for the development of new scientific skills outside the traditional networks of patronage.
On the whole, Eating the Enlightenment provides a well-researched, original and occasionally fascinating approach to an interesting dimension of 18th-century culture. The intrinsic merit of the material is sometimes ill-served by the author's anxiety to position herself within current academic debates, elaborating on the "post-structuralist" method to which she subscribes. Lay readers will need no special introduction to recognise, in the Enlightenment discovery of individual pleasure and well- being, a familiar foretaste of our own modern obsessions.

A REGIONAL approach to the arts will be tried in four counties of South Florida, and it shows promise of bringing music and the other arts closer to the people.
If it works as planned, the South Florida Cultural Consortium also will demonstrate the value of treating this area as one metropolitan region instead of separate isolated fiefdoms within county and city limits.
County commissions in Broward and Palm Beach already have voted to join the consortium, and to provide some money for it. Dade and Monroe counties are expected to join soon.
The arts councils in the four counties, acting jointly, have been awarded a $400,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, the largest of just eight such awards in the nation. Each county commission is expected to add $67,000 a year in general tax funds for three years.
The consortium's imaginative goal is to move the arts around, such as sending a Miami opera company to Palm Beach County for several performances, moving a display of Fort Lauderdale museum art to Dade or Monroe counties, sending a Palm Beach County dance troupe to the Keys for performances. The consortium also plans to create new advertising approaches for the arts.
While there still will be home-county interests within the councils, some of that is being sublimated for the overall good.
If the consortium succeeds, it could create bonds of regional togetherness and could well serve as a model for cooperation among political, economic, social and other groups in this megalopolis.
out of the gondola, "the balloon lighted and the ground crew was unable to hold it down," police said.
"It rose with another passenger in it. It continued west about 200-300 yards with the gondola burning. The third passenger . . . either jumped or fell . . . the gondola burned off from the envelope. The envelope continued west and landed on Turkey Lake property," police said.
The cause of the accident was not yet known and was under investigation by the National Traffic Safety Bureau of Miami, police said.

Colombo, Sri Lanka -- As a Buddhist country, Sri Lanka is committed to genuine peace, and it is encouraging when other countries recognise this, said the Asgiri Anunayake, the Venerable Panditha Galagama Attahadassi Thera,
<< Norwegian ambassador Tore Hattrem feeds a tusker before signing the memorandum of understanding
The Anunayake Thera was speaking at a ceremony to mark the signing of a memorandum of understanding for the Sri Dalada International Buddhist University, at Pallekelle. The university is being funded by the government of Norway.
Presiding at the ceremony was the Mahanayake of Malwatta, the Ven. Tibbotuwawe Sri Siddhartha Sumangala Thera, who represented both the Malwatta and Asgiri chapters. The Malwatta Anunayake, Ven, Panditha Niyangoda Vijithasiri, was also present.
The Asgiri Anunayake said the Sri Dalada International Buddhist Academy would serve as a centre for training members of the clergy and raising general awareness of the teachings of the Buddha.
"Buddhism is unique in its scientific and logical explanation of the mysteries of life," Mr. Hattrem said. "The Lord Buddha taught us that we are responsible for our own lives and for our environment. The Buddha's teaching that peace should be practised as a way of life is more relevant today than ever before."
The ambassador described the Sri Dalada International Buddhist Academy as a liberal arts higher education institution grounded on Buddhist principles, local and international in scope, and incorporating monastic and eco-friendly elements. He said it was an honour and a pleasure to be associated with such a unique educational project, and that he appreciated the support and goodwill of the Sri Dalada Maligawa and the University of Peradeniya.
The Diyawadana Nilame said that well-educated leaders could transform communities and societies. He said the goal of the academy would be to train future leaders and law-abiding citizens and help build united communities.

Sessions Curious if Sotomayor is Too Racially Biased to Judge
WASHINGTON -- A top Republican senator said Monday he wants to know whether Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is going to let race get in the way of her decisions as a justice.
Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions told FOX News he assumes Sotomayor understood and supported the stance of a group called the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund she advised in the 1980s that brought several race discrimination lawsuits for minorities who challenged jobs or promotions given to white employees.
"She participated in an organization or lawsuit, clearly participating actively as a supervisor of lawyers who actually litigated the cases, that is important," said Sessions, the senior Republican on the Judiciary Committee evaluating Sotomayor's nomination.
"There is no evidence (Sotomayor) objected the positions they were taking. The question is really -- is this a philosophy that she has allowed to influence her decision making process on the bench?" he said.
Sotomayor would be the first Hispanic on the high court. Sessions said she must convince senators that her work for the fund doesn't taint her rulings. The confirmation hearing begins Monday at 10 a.m. ET

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - A new audit says homes in Louisiana's "Katrina cottages" program paid significantly more per house than other similar initiatives.
And in some instances, the audit says the homes were poorly constructed and families were forced to temporarily move out. The review of the problem-plagued $75 million program was released Monday by Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera's office.
The Katrina cottages program was created after hurricanes Katrina and Rita to build housing for displaced families while studying ideas for alternative housing in hurricane-prone areas. But Louisiana's program - which built 461 homes at 12 sites - became a poster child for the slow pace of recovery.
The audit says the average cost per site was at least $53 per square foot more than housing of similar size built by other nonprofit organizations.

Coleman 5000 Watt Powermate generators have a gas-powered engine, a low-oil shutdown mode for safety, a 6-gallon fuel tank and over 20 hours of run time at maximum capacity. These generators provide roughly 10 HP and are suitable for indoor residential use and use on outdoor job sites. They have a maximum wattage of 6250, which is sufficient to power home accessories during outages.
Coleman 5000 Watt generators come with a standard Subaru OHV/OHC engine. This design reduces fuel consumption and creates less noise than standard generator engines, say authors at The Home Depot. These Coleman generators come with four 120-volt outlets, one 120 to 240-volt single outlet and a circuit breaker for safety.
During outages, Coleman 5000 generators can power lights, fans and radios. They can also power larger equipment like refrigerators, freezers and sump pumps. In industrial settings, Coleman generators provide power for electric equipment like chainsaws, drills, sprayers and grinders.
In addition to the machine itself, these generators come with 10-inch flat-free wheels. They also come with 1 quart of oil and an adapter cable. They have a collapsible handle and weigh approximately 150 pounds. Their compact features and light weight make these generators easy to store and transport.
Coleman 5000 generators feature a continuous voltage supply, which ensures a steady power output. They stand 25 inches high, span approximately 30 inches in length and are 20 inches wide.

There are solutions for syncing just about everything you could want, but almost all of them require a constant Internet connection and several different logins. If our viewer stats for Android and Me are right, quite a few of you probably know exactly what I'm talking about (we get a lot of traffic from iOS devices). I've been trying out a piece of software lately that aims to tackle this problem from Wondershare called MobileTrans.
MobileTrans is one piece of software that allows you to swap different kinds of files and data between devices. Between iOS and Android, you can share contacts, SMS messages, videos, photos and music. Between Android devices, you can share all that as well as call logs and app installs.
To start using MobileTrans, you first have to plug in both devices you are looking to share between via USB. For me, that was an iPhone 5s and Nexus 7 2013. MobileTrans supports most major phones including the Nexus 5, Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One M8, Motorola Moto X and more. Form there, you simply use checkboxes to select what you want to transfer, click "Start Copy," wait a couple minutes and you're done. You can choose which device is your source device and which is your destination device even after both are already plugged in, so you don't have to worry about the order you connect them. That's really all there is to it. I didn't run into any problems whatsoever – the entire process from start to finish took about three minutes.
Everyone is going to have different preferences for how they share files and information between devices. For some, MobileTrans will be a great solution. If you think it will fit your needs, we recommend you check out the free trial over at Wondershare.com for either Windows or Mac, where you can also pick up a complete copy for $19.99.

This follow-up to Immortal Beloved (2010) amps up the romance as ex-bad-girl immortal Nastasya continues her rehabilitation.
Nastasya's breezy, slangy and just a little bit vulnerable narration quickly brings new and returning readers up to speed. After 400 years as a superficial and destructive party girl, Nastasya has found her way to River's Edge, where immortals like her heal from their past misdeeds and traumas and learn to do Tähti magic, a more wholesome and less destructive kind than the Terävä Nastasya practiced with her friends. More trusting and committed to healing than before, Nastasya is still haunted by the fear that she is irreparably full of darkness. She is also haunted by Reyn, a fellow resident at River's Edge, whom she once kissed before realizing the nature of their shared past. Though readers will easily see through both Nastasya's fears and her insistence that she finds Reyn merely annoying, her pained internal monologue still invites compassion. Innocencio, Nastasya's cruel, capricious and manipulative former best friend, reappears in this volume, and his behavior toward Nastasya quite openly and chillingly mirrors real-world domestic violence. The action builds to a high-stakes climax, but there are plenty of loose ends to resolve and plenty of room for Nastasya to keep growing and learning in another volume.
Another successful blend of sarcasm, pathos and magick. (Paranormal romance. 12 & up)

"We are the legacy of 15 billion years of cosmic evolution. We have a choice. We can enhance life and come to know the universe that made us, or we can squander our 15 billion year heritage in meaningless self-destruction. What happens in the first second of the next cosmic year depends on what we do, here and now, with our intelligence, and our knowledge of the cosmos."
- Carl Sagan

- Cathy Lamb, The First Day of the Rest of My Life

"I have been feeding pigeons, thousands of them for years. But there was one, a beautiful bird, pure white with light grey tips on its wings; that one was different. It was a female.

- Nikola Tesla
|2nd Quarter 2016
In a Freudian slip, Former President Bill Clinton had this to say while campaigning for his wife, "If you believe we can rise together, if you believe we've finally come to the point where we can put the awful legacy [of President Obama] of the last eight years behind us and the seven years before [of President Bush] that where we were practicing trickle-down economics, then you should vote for her,..."

|2nd Quarter 2015
"Modern capitalism needs men who co-operate smoothly and in large numbers; who want to consume more and more; and whose tastes are standardized and can be easily influenced and anticipated. It needs men who feel free and independent, not subject to any authority or principle or conscience - yet willing to be commanded, to do what is expected of them, to fit into the social machine without friction; who can be guided without force, led without leaders, prompted without aim - except the one to make good, to be on the move, to function, to go ahead."
- Erich Fromm, in his book The Art of Loving, p. 72
|1st Quarter 2015

- Carlos Mencia, on his DVD, New Terriotry, 2012
|2nd Quarter 2013
"We are a plague on the Earth. It's coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It's not just climate change; it's sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now,..."

|2nd Quarter 2012
"All manual labor can be a form of meditation, a process of centering, which leaves us with a feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment that can never come from sitting behind a desk. Or standing in front of a camera. Go out in your back yard and dig a hole six feet deep. I guarantee you will feel better for it. If that's too overwhelming, try washing the dishes, dusting the yard . . . and as you do these manual tasks, put all your self into them. Concentrate on getting the dishes clean, the piano dust-free, the lawn free of leaves, and do the best job you're capable of. When you're finished, sit down and enjoy the fuits of your labors. IT will rid you of untold anxieties, tension, restlessness."
- Dirk Benedict in his book, Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy, pp. 155-156
|1st Quarter 2012

|3rd Quarter 2011
"When you start your own company and become your own boss, you think, 'Life is good.' When you actually start making money and growing your business, you think, 'Life is great.' But when you're sitting in seat 1D of an airborne plane that's completely silent because the engines have been shut down, and you hear the pilot say, 'Brace for impact,' none of it really matters."
- CEO Ric Elias, of Red Ventures, as quoted during his 2011 Ted talk.
|2nd Quarter 2011
"We have to change our way of thinking. And if we can't change our way of thinking, we won't survive. It's that simple. I've changed my thinking and millions and millions of other people are changing their thinking, and frankly, if you've never changed your mind about something, I say, you know, pinch yourself, you may be dead."
- Reverend Richard Cizik at the conclusion of the film, Countdown to ZERØ

Built dams, brought in cows, and they cut down the trees
The salmon eggs died from the washed away land
Smothered by the mud and the sand
How did the Red River come by its name
|1st Quarter 2010
"...it has to be admitted that war is an outrageously successful activity. History demonstrates this over and over again. In a world dominated by material possessions - whether of goods, land, or natural resources - a population of people may win for themselves enormous advantage through military victory over another group; the benefits gained must, of course, outweigh the costs of combat (time, resources, and lives). A materially based world undoubtedly provides a favorable environment in which warfare can flourish. And it has flourished more and more with the steady rise in the complexity of social structure."
- Paleoanthropologist Richard E. Leaky and Science Editor Roger Lewin in their book, People of the Lake (Mankind & Its Beginnings), pp. 217-218
|4th Quarter 2009
"As for the pyramids, there is nothing to wonder at in them so much as the fact that so many men could be found degraded enough to spend their lives constructing a tomb for some ambitious booby, whom it would have been wiser and manlier to have drowned in the Nile, and then given his body to the dogs."
- Henry David Thoreau in Walden, the Economy chapter, p. 44
|3rd Quarter 2009
"Those of us who knew him best talk about him often. I swear, the stuff he pulled. It always makes us laugh. Sometimes it makes me sad, though, Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright... and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice... but still, the place you live is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend."
- Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding (Morgan Freeman) talking about Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) in the 1994 movie Shawshank Redemption
|2nd Quarter 2009

|3rd Quarter 2008
"Your soul doesn't need cleansing because it isn't dirty and anyone who tells you different is telling you for their benefit and not for yours. Because the purpose of religion is the employment and the empowerment of clergy. That's it's only purpose. You don't matter, you've never mattered."
- Pat Condell from one of his many YouTube videos...
|2nd Quarter 2008
We, who can still hear the jaguar scream,
We dream of a day when all things wild will again be free.
We long for a time when every species will be loved
and honored equally. It is a dream we may never see fulfilled.
But in answer to our own wild hearts,
It is a dream we will fight for
until the day we die.
- From the back cover of the May-June 2001 Earth First! Journal

|2nd Quarter 2007
"General [George] Crook, commander of the Department of the Platte, was at least a century ahead of his time in the integrity with which he dealt with aboriginal people, and deserved having his name writ in land if for no other reason than his reply when someone asked him if the campaigns of the Indian wars were difficult work. He said, 'Yes, they are hard. But the hardest thing is to go out and fight against those who you know are in the right.'"
- John McPhee in his book, Rising from the Plains, p. 20
|1st Quarter 2007

The rest of the time, they could play, or sleep, or do whatever they wanted. And they lived in a natural world, with clean air, clean water, beautiful trees and sunsets. Think about it. Twenty hours a week. Thirty thousand years ago."
- from page 285 of Micahael Crichton's Jurassic Park
|2nd Quarter 2006
"I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part
of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural
traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking."
- Carl Sagan from his book, Billions & Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium, p. 258

|"Yet some can be patriotic who have no self-respect, and sacrifice the greater to the less. They love the soil which makes their graves, but have no sympathy with the spirit which may still animate their clay. Patriotism is a maggot in their heads."
|2nd Quarter 2004
"... they must also find others who feel the same and form circles of friends who give one
another confidence and support in living in a way that the majority find ridiculous, naive, stupid and
simplistic. But in order to do that, one must already have enough self-confidence to follow
one's intuition - a quality very much lacking in broad sections of the populace. Most people
follow the trends and advertisements and become philosophical and ethical cripples."
- Mountaineer Arne Ness, in Deep Ecology

thing. To live a way of life which is supremely intelligent demands an extraordinary

destroyed the alertness of the body by unnatural ways of living. We are also destroying the mind, the brain, through conflict, through constant repression, constant explosion and violence."
- J. Krishnamurti
|1st Quarter 2003

Congress claiming to care deeply about the air, the water, and the land. The
bad news is that an unprecedented number of them didn?t mean it."
- Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope on NPR, November 6, 2002
|4th Quarter 2002
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fevered pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar"
- Attributed to Julius Caesar but revealed to be a wishful fabrication... (Still, I love the sound of it!)
|3rd Quarter 2002

"Yes," he said softly after a long pause. "One of us here has to change, and fast. One of us here has to learn again that death is the hunter, and that it is always to one's left. One of us here has to ask death's advice and drop the cursed pettiness that belongs to men that live their lives as if death will never tap them."

Trying to dodge hits is the same thing; it's been done before but it's only something I'd advise with a huge melee weapon, and to be mostly an archer most of your WA would be in your ranged.
If you happen to rise through the ranks and reach the top with a strategy that so clearly defies my suggested tactics, I'd be quite pleased. Unfortunately I just don't see it happening.
Regarding the ToA/ToE/Armor situation. The most important factor when running a tank strategy is your ST/DX, after that comes adequate defenses (HP, walls etc). If your ST/DX are already adequate after armor bonuses and haste/GS then you could do without a ToA on the tank. This would free you up to use the ToE on the wall, but first make sure that tank has his ST/DX superior to your average opponent.

Wow, where did February go?
It feels like everyone I know is hibernating, staying close to home. Our family escaped to spend part of the month chasing the sun on the beaches of Washington, and we found it!
Our beach house was the cutest thing you've ever seen in 1974. And the girls are happy to report, was free of any 'ankaboot, which is Arabic for spider.
I did bring along the newest free coloring page for them to test out, the page for'Ayn, the 18th letter in the Arabic alphabet, which is represented by Adil.
Adil spends his day making homes but they are never quite perfect in his eyes.
Other words that use 'Ayn are Eid (festival), 'asha (dinner), and 'asal (honey).
I hope you enjoy an 'ankaboot free weekend. Here is where you can download 'Ayn Coloring Page.
