One sentence reviews of every movie I can remember seeing. List still in progress.
Airplane!: A style of funny that spawned many imitators, none of which lived up to the hilarity of the original.
Alien: Unnerving and uncomfortable, but the scares are unfortunately lessened by cultural osmosis.
Aliens: Father of every space marine cliche in the book, this action-packed sequel still manages to enthrall with its wonderful characters and excellent pacing.
Attack of the Clones: 90% less Jar-Jar, but 100% less Liam Neeson, nevertheless, 50% more suck.
Avatar: Too long, too much CGI, lame story, totally unlikable protagonists, and an overall feeling of BLEGH.
Back to the Future: Time travel is one of my favorite subjects, and this movie pulls it off excellently in a funny, quirky way.
Batman Begins: Slow to start and meandering in the middle, this one never really finds its footing, but is still pretty fun.
A Beautiful Mind: A beautiful film.
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure: Everything that was great about the 80's packed into a hilarious, if historically ignorant, package.
Blade Runner: Definitive cyberpunk, very interesting, but slow at times.
The Bourne Identity: A focused and intense thriller let down by a completely unlikable love interest.
The Bourne Supremacy: But now she's dead and Bourne gets to shine on his own, though the cameraman seems to have a slight case of Parkinson's.
The Bourne Ultimatum: Oh fuck shit balls everything's so shaky.
The Butterfly Effect: Terrible acting, writing, and directing; completely awful.
Catch Me If You Can: Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks: completely lovable and hilarious characters.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Creepy and surreal, but not in a good way; just Tim Burton and Johnny Depp doing their thing, I guess.
Cloverfield: Interesting premise, decent scares, but infuriatingly annoying protagonists, even for horror movie standards.
The Dark Knight: Almost certainly the best superhero movie ever made.
The Departed: Intense, incredible, and intriguing; three simultaneous marvelous character studies.
Dr. Strangelove: Alright, but the humor feels a little dated.
The Emperor's New Groove: Disney's last great film, and one of their funniest.
Empire Strikes Back: The best installment in the Star Wars saga, by far, and an altogether awesome film.
Evil Dead II: Disturbingly hilarious, Bruce Campbell deserves an Oscar for his performance as Ash.
Fargo: A pregnant cop, a botched kidnapping, and a wood-chipper; see it now.
The Fellowship of the Ring: The other installments just weren't the same without Boromir.
Finding Nemo: An epic journey and a plethora of both laughs and emotions.
Firewall: Completely devoid of any feeling whatsoever.
The Fugitive: Very exciting, just try to crash a train as awesome as that!
Goodfellas: Ain't gangsters lovable?
Groundhog Day: Hilarious throughout; since the day I saw it, I've had "I Got You, Babe" stuck in my head.
A Hard Day's Night: The Beatles were some wacky guys, so wacky that they didn't need proper narrative structure.
Helvetica: An interesting documentary geared toward typography enthusiasts.
Hot Fuzz: The funniest movie I've ever seen, this film perfects the art of the comedic echo in its ball-bustingly awesome finale.
The Italian Job (2003): An on-the-whole bland and insubstantial movie that barely stays afloat with intermittent laughs.
In Bruges: Pure poetry from excellent start to perfect finish.
Inception: You'll never dream the same way.
The Incredible Hulk (2008): Lame acting, worse writing, and surprisingly bad CGI kept me bored throughout.
The Incredibles: On Parr (lol hurr puns) with the Dark Knight in terms of superhero movies, a delightful deconstruction of the genre showing what would happen if supers were defeated by lawyers.
Iron Man: The wonderful first two-thirds manage to shine over the incredibly mediocre third act.
Iron Man 2: Good enough, I guess; definitely not as good as the first one, but not terrible.
Jumper: Not a bad concept, but handled terribly, thanks in great part to Hayden Christensen's lousy performance.
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Non-canon; didn't happen.
King of Kong: The unseen truth behind the hardcore classic arcade scene.
A Knight's Tale: Boring and forgettable.
The Last Crusade: Excellent father-son dynamics between Connery and Ford push this film close to Raiders' level of greatness.
Life of Brian: Hilarious satire and the best the Pythons have to offer.
Minority Report: Fun enough, but let down by some strange logic and odd dialog.
Mr. Bean's Holiday: Pretty boring overall, but has its moments, including Willem Dafoe's hilariously pretentious short film.
No Country For Old Men: Excellently threatening villain, very suspenseful, but seems to use artiness as an excuse for poor pacing.
North By Northwest: The classic and definitive tale of mistaken identity, an exhilarating experience in emotion and cinematography.
The Phantom Menace: George Lucas can burn.
Plan 9 From Outer Space: Regardless of the film's actual merit, the frequent goofs and completely retarded premise make Plan 9 hilarious.
The Prestige: Strikes the perfect balance with the mystery; you can figure it out on your own if you try, but it's never completely obvious.
Pulp Fiction: Excellent, just excellent.
Raiders of the Lost Ark: A completely wonderful and fun adventure with the lovable Indy.
Rear Window: Incredibly tense, but has equally excellent moments of humor; a must-see, even if Jimmy Stewart seems like a creep.
Return of the Jedi: While it certainly had many great emotional moments, you can see the looming threat of George Lucas's retardation with the Ewoks.
Revenge of the Sith: While not quite as freaking terrible as the other two prequels, this big mess of overdone CGI, terrible acting, directionless story doesn't nearly live up to the original trilogy.
Rocky: Inspirational, Sylvester Stallone hits the perfect balance between playing stupid and actually stupid.
Schindler's List: One of the most emotionally powerful films I've ever seen.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: Hilarious and fun, Scott Pilgrim is a rare movie that actually uses CGI well; rather than try to imitate reality, the visuals serve to illustrate the story and characters in a really delightful way.
The Shawshank Redemption: Intriguing and heartwarming, holds you though the entirety of Andy Dufresne's awesome journey.
Sherlock Holmes: Absolutely, mind-numbingly boring, stupid, and incomprehensible; not remotely funny.
Shutter Island: Scary and thought-provoking, though the ending drags on for too long.
The Social Network: Who would have thought that a movie about the guys who made Facebook could be one of the most interesting films of the year, and perhaps even the decade?
The Sound of Music: Too long, too campy, too musical, but for some strange reason, I still like it.
Spider-Man: Embraces the camp, still works.
Spider-Man 2: The peak of the franchise, fully explores the captivating weakness of the character of Peter Parker.
Spider-Man 3: Too many villains and stupid character development.
Star Wars: Emotions and character development are the focus here, rather than extravagant CGI or meticulously choreographed fight scenes.
Supersize Me: Clever, effective, but obviously skewed.
Taxi Driver: Scorsese and De Niro at their finest; an absolutely sublime film.
Terminator 2: Sarah Connor is a marvelous heroine and leads this film to success.
Toy Story 3: Manly tears.
The Two Towers: Tries and fails to juggle too many plot-lines at once.
Vantage Point: Sucks hard.
Wall-E: Pixar really outdo themselves with this powerful tale of love that also satires American society.
Watchmen: Pretty good, but never great, except when Rorschach is on screen.
What About Bob?: The chemistry between Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss is pure comedy gold.
Zombieland: Engaging and well-excecuted, a bloody hilarious adventure.
Zoolander: Male modeling is serious (and hilarious) business.

I used to flash ROMs and themes on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis. However my obsession weaken over the past year or so and I haven't kept up on everything as of late. Can someone help me out? Basically just want to change the green icons to blue. Is MM still an easy fix, or is there a better way now? Also a link to some icons compatible to this ROM would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The Studio
In January 2017 the FD production shop moved from our space in Old Town Scottsdale to a freshly built shop on Samya's property at home. The five years in Old Town were a blast, but it was time to work from where her heart was, and from a spot she could work more hours from without being away from her family. Although the shop is not inside of her home, because of the proximity to her home, visits to the shop from clients are by referral only.
If you were referred to FD by a local client who has a history with Samya and FD, please just ask them to refer you. Samya loves her clients and loves having them into her new shop just like the old shop, but safety does have to be a priority.
Thank you so much for understanding!

After watching and reviewing Sleepless in Seattle, a reader named Paul S. requested that I review an earlier Meg Ryan film. Well, I aim to please, so I decided to watch a Meg Ryan from 1988 titled The Presidio. In this film, Meg Ryan plays Donna Caldwell, the daughter of Lt. Alan Caldwell (Sean Connery), the Provost Marshal at the titular Presidio. In the Presidio, a break in leads to the murder of a Military Police officer, and San Francisco Police detective Jay Austin (Mark Harmon) is sent in to investigate. To complicate matters, he and Lt. Caldwell have had issues in the past, as Austin was a MP under Caldwell in the past, but after a case involving the arrest of a colonel, Caldwell did not back Austin, and the two have shared a dislike ever since. Also, Jay meets Donna, and the two start a romance of their own, much to the chagrin of Lt. Caldwell. Despite all this, the two are forced to work together to solve the murder, even if each man wants nothing to do with the other. Directed by Peter Hyams, The Presidio also stars Jack Warden, Mark Blum, Dana Blackstone, and Jenette Goldstein. A few notes about this film, and there are SPOILERS, so read with caution.
- There's a lot of storylines going on in The Presidio, from the murder case, to the uneasy partnership between Caldwell and Jay to Donna's relationship with and her feud with her father to the whole story between Caldwell and his friend Russ McClure (Warden). In fact, there was probably too much going on, and it doesn't help that the plot has some serious pace problems. For example, it seems as if the movie spends 15 minutes or so detalining Donna's story, then forgets about her for a half hour or so while the case is being investigated, then bam, there's suddenly like eight scenes in a row with Donna in them.
- This film is chock full of cinematic cliches, I tell you what. Since the movie is set in San Francisco, the movie has a Bullitt-like car chase full of cars driving down the hilly roads. There's the two cops that hate each other storyline between Connery and Harmon (even though one's a military officer, he basically acts like a cop in the film). Also, there's a shootout at a factory, which just about every other action film made in the 1980s had. There's also a surprise twist at the end that seemed to be thrown in just for the sake of having a surprise twist at the end, as it didn't make a whole lot of sense and wasn't really explained that well, and there's also a bar fight scene for no good reason at all (although at least it was somewhat different, as Lt. Caldwell beat up generic loud-mouth tough guy #24 just by using his right thumb).
- You would think that a movie titled The Presidio filmed at the actual location of The Presidio would be primarily set at, you know, the Presidio. But after the first few minutes or so, the Presidio is barely used at all as a setting for the film. Instead the movie just turns it into another typical whodunit case where the two cops travel all through San Francisco, the only real difference being that most of the characters are involved in the military. However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, as Hyams is a talented cinematographer and uses his setting of San Francisco to maximum effect through his cinematography. Every scene is well lit and nicely shot. But it is kind of odd that the actual Presidio wasn't utilized that much in this film.
- As for the acting in The Presidio, well I didn't think it was too bad, even though the script didn't give them too much to work with. Connery does an excellent job as Lt. Caldwell, although he plays a rather similar role in the Untouchables. Still, his acting gives this film some needed credibility. Harmon is decent in the role of Jay Austin, but one wonders how Kevin Costner would have done with this role, as it was rumored that he was once signed on to star in this project. While Harmon is able to hold his own in scenes with Ryan and Connery, his attempts to give his character an edge didn't exactly come across that well, especially his first scene where he stares down a criminal with a gun pointed at him and disarms him with tough talk and his bare hands. To me, it seemed stupid, but whatever. Ryan is pretty good in this film, although her character isn't exactly that well-written. Nevertheless, she's able to make the best out of it and makes Donna seem likable, whereas other actress given a similar character could not make her sympathetic towards the audience. The supporting actors weren't too bad, although I didn't really see Mark Blum (who played former CIA Agent Arthur Peale) as a convincing bad guy.
While The Presidio isn't too bad, I suppose, but it does seem to be suffering from an identity crisis. The Presidio is part action flick, part romantic flick, and part cop drama, all with a military overtone over the storyline. Instead of concentrating on one element, the writers and director decided to pack this film with many different narratives that hardly intertwine with each other, almost making it seem as if it was two different films. But the acting, cinematography, and score are all above-average, and make this film somewhat enjoyable.
Overall, while The Presidio got a great performance from Connery and had some high points, there are too many issues with the plot that keeps the film from being great, and drags it down into run-of-the-mill territory. I'd give it a 5.3 out of 10. Well, thanks for reading, and if you have any thoughts about this or other posts, or ideas for future posts, than let me know about them either by leaving a comment or by sending me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

No.16 Winter 2017
Although we didn't select this issue's work with any theme in mind, the pieces we've assembled here share an uncanny obsession with containment, with boxing things up and then (sometimes) letting them out. Our contributors have tucked a multitude of contents – from seahorses to cadavers to volcanos to cosmonauts – into various vessels for safekeeping. We've got a claustrophobe strapped much too tightly into her seat, a sobbing audience stuck in an auditorium, two pastures with questionable fences, a ghost climbing into his new haunt, a glitchy garbage bin leaking smells and syllables. That makes this issue a kind of meta-container, a box of boxes.

Richard says the Wild are coming off Ryan Suter's emotional return to Nashville, where they took two points in a shootout. Zach Parise had Minnesota's only regulation marker.

Posted on: July 12 2014Developers agree to lower height
BY JAQUETTA WHITE - theadvocate.com
After developers agreed at the last minute to reduce the height of a proposed Warehouse District hotel to more nearly comply with the city's zoning law, the New Orleans City Council voted 4-2 Thursday to give conditional approval to the controversial development.
Some nearby residents had urged the council to reject the proposal because it would have exceeded the maximum height allowed under both current and proposed new zoning rules for the site and also because they said it would put additional parking and traffic pressure on an already stressed area of town.
The proposed development, at 632 Tchoupitoulas St., is in Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell's district. Cantrell was able to get the developers to agree, before the matter was considered at Thursday's meeting, to reduce the building's height from 75 feet to 65 feet, thereby nullifying the original need for a height waiver.
Cantrell said she will hold off introducing an ordinance to give Thursday's vote the force of law until the design wins approval from the Architectural Review Committee of the Central Business District Historic District Landmarks Commission.
Fillmore Hospitality initially requested a waiver to the height restriction for 10 lots in the 600 block of Tchoupitoulas Street, also bounded by Lafayette, Commerce and Girod streets. An interim zoning district restricts buildings in that block to five stories and 65 feet.
The company wanted to build a $35 million, 178-room Cambria Suites hotel, made up of two buildings that would stand six stories and 65 feet on the side fronting Tchoupitoulas and 75 feet at an entrance facing Commerce Street.
The site, owned by hotelier Warren Reuther, is now a surface parking lot.
Fillmore, which owns and operates the Maison Dupuy Hotel on Toulouse Street and the New Orleans Marriott Metairie at Lakeway on Causeway Boulevard, is under contract to buy the property from Reuther, who would not own or operate the hotel.
The project was strongly opposed by many neighboring residents and businesses, who formed the group Residents for Responsible Development to fight it.
Before Thursday's meeting and the announcement that the building height had been reduced, the opponents said allowing the project to move forward would send a message that the council was not serious about honoring the master plan or a nearly 2-year-old ordinance establishing the Lafayette Square/Warehouse District Refined Height Plan Interim Zoning District.
The result of a height study commissioned by the Downtown Development District, the interim zoning district establishes height limitations for various parts of the Warehouse District and Lafayette Square neighborhood. It has served as a placeholder to guide development in those areas until revisions to the city's comprehensive zoning ordinance, which would give legal force to the land-use guidelines set forth in the city's master plan, are adopted.
Residents reiterated that concern Thursday, saying Fillmore's request would still flout zoning rules. The measure approved by the council would allow the hotel to have more stories than allowed under the interim zoning district.
"This is not about whether we want to support a hotel or not," Warehouse District resident C.J. Bui said. "This vote is about choosing whether we choose to hold up our codes and plans as a standard to guide development or are we simply going to use them as a baseline or a starting point for negotiations with developers."
If the council sees the rules set out in the interim zoning plan as too restrictive, Bui said, it should move to change the law, not to grant waivers to individual developers.
Ammon Miller, meanwhile, cheered the building's lowered height but still urged the council to reject the project because of the amount of traffic it would put on narrow Commerce Street, where he has lived for 17 years. The hotel would include an automobile drop-off on Commerce, and service and delivery trucks also would use an entrance on Commerce.
"To do that will destroy the integrity of the whole Warehouse District and will defeat the purpose of why the people who live there now decided to live there," Miller said.
Ultimately, the council's decision hinged on the question of just how much weight the city's master plan for development should carry when the council considers construction projects.
Council President Stacy Head and Councilwoman Susan Guidry said the plan carries the force of law. Head commended Cantrell for working with the developer to reduce the building's height, but she said she could not vote for the plan because it violates the directives of the master plan, which guards against making decisions based on the wishes of individual developers.
"The master plan is not a guide. It's the law," Head said. "It's not something from which we can deviate without a formal process."
The city charter says "no public project or facility ... shall be authorized or significantly altered except in conformity with the adopted Master Plan."
But Councilman James Gray said the master plan is a general proposition outlining the goals and guidelines of the city, not a rigid document with rules that can't be bent or broken. Gray said the council should use the master plan as a guide but remain free to evaluate projects individually and award exceptions when necessary. Gray said it was difficult for him to ignore the jobs and real estate taxes the development would bring.
"The truth of the matter is when I looked at all the potential benefits ... this is something that's hard to turn down," Gray said.
Councilwoman Nadine Ramsey said she agreed with Gray.
Gray, Ramsey, Cantrell and Councilman Jared Brossett all voted to approve the project. Head and Guidry voted no. Councilman Jason Williams was absent.

Spartans Score Over 100 Points for Third Straight Game
Dec 20, 2013 | J.Crane
ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA - The University of Dubuque Women's Basketball team once again scored over 100 points in victory on Friday night. The nearly 60 degree difference in temperatue between Dubuque and St. Pete did not effect the Spartans as they beat Eureka College (6-3) 105-79 in their first game of the Basketball Destinations St. Pete Classic. UD finished the game shooting 50.0% (41-82) from the field. Dubuque improves to 6-3 overall and won their third game.
The Spartans were led offensively by Jenna Kotas (Tinley Park, Ill./Andrew) with a season high 24 points on 8-11 shooting from the field, 4-4 from the free throw line, and 4-4 from three-point range. Kotas also pulled down eight rebounds (6-defensive/2-offensive) in the game. Over the last three games, she is averaging 19.3 points per game in just 18.3 minutes played per game.
The teams appeared evenly matched over the first eight minutes with UD leading during most of the stretch before Eureka took a 18-17 lead at the 12:09 mark. The Spartans responded with a 14-1 run over the next four minutes to take control of the game for good. Back-to-back three-pointers by Kotas pushed the Dubuque lead to 15 as they would lead by double figures the remainder of the game with a first half lead peaking at 22 points on a free throw by Meggie Schmidt (Edgerton, Wis./Edgerton) at the 2:55 mark.
UD finished the first half with a 52-34 lead including holding a 30-8 advantage in points in the paint. Nine Spartans scored in the half for UD with Heather Chapman (Ingelside, Ill./Grant) scoring nine points off the bench.
Dubuque opened up its largest lead of the game at 92-59 after a 19-2 run over four minutes ending with 7:09 left in the game on a Stephany Remakel (Dubuque, Iowa/Hempstead) layup. Kotas scored seven points during the four minute stretch.
Freshman Daneshia Snitker (Waukon, Iowa/Waukon) finished with 16 points and eight rebounds (6-offensive/2-defensive) while shooting 7-9 from the field. Fellow freshman Emily Brinker (Baraboo, Wis./Baraboo) also scored 11 points. Point guard Jessica Goetz (Arrowhead, Wis./Sussex) had a team high seven assists.

To All,
I'm currently being marketed to lease our NG minerals in Harrison and Penola Counties in East Texas. Can some one please give me the current pricing guidelines for 1) the signing bonus per acre and 2) the royalty %? Just ballpark figures would be great! But if you've recently signed would you please share your experience?
Thanks in advance,
Views: 483
KCC, the last offer we got was for a small amount of undivided mineral interest in the Bailey Anderson Survey in Harrison County which is near the south east Harrison County line near Panola County. The offer was from a Tyler broker at $200 per acre and 20%. Other people seem to do much better than us on their offers though. Good luck. Kathy
Thanks Kathy!
BTW, would you know of any landmen in the area that I could contact for more information about the Harrison County value. I live out of state.
Thanks in advance,
KCC I will send you a message. Kathy

text: I've been reading these forums for the last week or so and wanted to ask an opinion. Right now I have a recent IBM that I'm selling to purchase a Powerbook (should have done it in the first place but was scared about engineering/education software incompatilibities). Once I sell the IBM (hopefullin the next week) I'll be in the market to purchase a Powerbook. I want the 15" but I keep reading about these Dual Core rumors. Will the Dual Core G4's go into the 12 - 17" Powerbooks or maybe just the 17" because of size and cooling? My main dilemma is that the 1.67GHz Powerbook is only $1899 through my school instead of $2299 through the Apple Store or the $2099 it is through normal education discounts. I'm wondering if the Dual Cores will be maybe the same price and worth the wait, or if maybe when they release the one I want will drop further. I do occasional Photoshop/InDesign/Illustrator work and will probably end up using SolidWorks through VirtualPC a few times out of neccessity so the extra power would be nice, but I've used the 15" now and they're MUCH faster than I expected after reading all the Pentium-M vs. G4 debates. I think I'm leaning towards just buying the 1.67 when I sell the IBM and just dealing with it, but I'd hate to have thought that I could have purchased maybe the last interm update before the Intel Powerbook (not concerned with waiting for that one). Thanks for the help and the opinions.

Gratitude PM Study
March 26 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
|Recurring Event (See all)
An event every week that begins at 6:00pm on Monday, repeating until June 18, 2018
Gratitude turns what we have into enough. We have so much to be thankful for, really. Sometimes we simply aren't aware of our great wealth. Developing a thankful heart is an act of worship, a spiritual practice that keeps us close to God, healthy, and sane. The art of expressing our gratitude to God and one another is important. This devotional formatted study will challenge, teach and provide you with a divine gift – the grace to recognize and actively appreciate how truly rich you are. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His court with praise. Psalm 34:8

WASHINGTON — The polarized US Senate pressed ahead Monday towards a key mid-week vote on a sweeping military spending bill that has drawn a White House veto threat over new rules on detention of suspected terrorists.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid set up a midday Wednesday procedural vote to advance the annual Defense Authorization legislation, which is generally a shoo-in for passage because it affects US troops in harm's way.
But the $662 billion measure has hit a snag over provisions requiring that al-Qaeda fighters captured on US soil be held by military, not civilian authorities — rules that President Barack Obama opposes.
"We must get this bill passed. It is critically important to our men and women in uniform," Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, a Democrat, said on the Senate floor Monday.
Levin and the top Republican on his committee, Senator John McCain, defended the detainee provisions in a Washington Post column as "a careful, bipartisan effort" to give the US government "the clear authority, tools and flexibility of action it needs to defend us against the threat posed by al-Qaeda."
The measure affirms Obama's right to hold suspected terrorists indefinitely, and calls for al-Qaeda fighters who plot or carry out attacks on US targets to be held in military custody.
But it allows the Obama administration to declare whether a detainee fits that description, and permits the government to hold suspected al-Qaeda fighters in civilian custody if it formally declares that to be in the US national security interest.

Hog-Swamp is a small rocky world, abandoned by the mining fleets some 60 years ago. Its gravity was boosted, an atmosphere was applied. So in that regards terraforming stuck pretty well.
Half the planet is a morass of toxic water a few inches deep amidst collasal rubble and slag from mining. Nothing but algae, moss and lichen with the odd insect.
much of the rest of the planet is the great plain. Mostly smooth with collasal chunks of detris strewn about in great cubes. Vast perfectly rectangular chasms periodically dot the land where great scoops were taken from the planet. Terraforming for plant life was somewhat successful here. The landscape is covered in grass, though the maple trees large failed to take hold (barring a handful in the shadow of collasal piles of rubble). Juniper bushes spread from birds are the only real vegetation aside from the grass, moss and lichen. Still there is plenty of life in these arid planes. Floppy eared bunnies, rats, chickens, cats and dogs. Great swarms of flies, bees, and crawling vermin that escaped the mining ships.
But most of the people live in the crater. A vast depression where most of the "rivers" flow, a giant swamp the size of France. Shallow water with a few lakes, mounds of silted mud held strong with crab grass, apple trees and spruce. Dense bushes of wild hemp and juniper give habitat to the truly vast swarms of pigs that are the mainstay of the local economy. They farm a bit, corn, celery, onions... but mostly it is pig hunting. Makes up most of the exports since the elephant population escaped in the rebellion.
Still, biodiversity is comically low and a local "Appleseed" has set up shop on the only remaining settlement around the spaceport. He'll pay good script for a few more species to introduce, provided the local corrupt constabulary doesn't think it will interfere with his profits. It is still a largely empty planet, perhaps as little as 60,000 souls to the millions of pigs.

So far it's breaking down to around 3 generations, and around a dozen episodes, per story arc. Which I didn't particularly plan for but will totally take - since round numbers are always nice. What that also means is that - based on my calculations - we're around halfway done with the "Bloodline" series. Which sounds like a good time for a break. Which is why I'm taking one. The break will probably last for a couple months - and we'll pick back up sometime in February with the story of Silas' three sons. I've also posted the Bloodline Family Tree – so far – up on both the blog and Facebook sites.
In the meantime there are a couple of things I wanted to mention. First off, as many of you know my wife Tracy DeLuca produces her own podcast called "Results May Vary." In the series Tracy and her friend Chris draw on their vast work experience in design thinking and innovation to help people design the lives they want. No guarantees – I mean, the title is "Results May Vary" – just lots of interesting interviews, test cases and practical advice about living life by design.
What you might not know is that Tracy's latest episode is with Mike Duncan – creator of "The History of Rome" and "Revolutions" podcasts and author of the forthcoming book "The Storm Before the Storm." Among other topics, the episode covers how to design the past to better engage people in our shared history and how to apply the lessons of history toward designing a better future. The episode is posted at resultsmayvarypodcast.com. And while you're at it make sure to check out ongoing episodes of "Revolutions" at revolutionspodcast.com. You can also find both series on iTunes.
Second, I wanted to engage the many wonderful and talented listeners out there in a little project. Part of what I've been trying to do with "Bloodline" is bring the stories of Antony and Cleopatra's descendants to life by talking about the times, places and events they lived through. But of course what I do is mainly audio - and I was thinking it would also be pretty amazing to bring the story to life visually. I'm a pretty crap artist myself, but I'm betting many of you out there are much, much better.
So I've decided to hold a bit of a contest. Pick any subject from the series – a place, a scene, a character, even a concept - render it in whatever visual medium strikes your fancy, and e-mail the image to firstname.lastname@example.com with the Subject "Bloodline Images." Whether it's the execution of King Ptolemy, the Temple of Elah Gabal, even a creative rendering of the Bloodline Family Tree – if it's from the series it's fair game.
I'll feature some of my favorites on The Ancient World media sites. And – even better – every contributor will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win two books. The books in question are Tom Holland's "Persian Fire" and Richard Miles' "Carthage Must be Destroyed." Both books were a big help in creating the original series, and they've got the extensive highlighting to prove it. I'm also more than happy to sign them for you. The contest runs between now, December 18, and January 31, 2016 - when I'll announce the winner of the drawing. In the meantime, uncork that creativity, have fun and I look forward to seeing your handiwork.
So that's it for the moment. I really hope you're enjoying the "Bloodline" series as much as I am making it – which is very, very much. And trust me, the upcoming story arc is going to be epic. Because it's with the Severans that the descendants of Mark Antony and Cleopatra finally stake their claim to the Roman Empire – and the result is, well, kind of a disaster. But it is fun to watch.
Until then, thanks for all the kind words and support, and thanks again for listening.
The Bloodline Family Tree (so far!)

Community Open House at Full Blast Recreation Department to Celebrate Completion of Energy Savings Project
Public invited to attend on Wednesday evening December 11, 2013 to tour the facility, learn about energy saving initiatives and enjoy free refreshments.
FRAMINGHAM, MA and BATTLE CREEK, MI – December 11, 2013 – Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE:AMRC), a leading energy efficiency and renewable energy company, announced today the completion of the $1.3 million City of Battle Creek, Parks and Recreation facility project. Ameresco is sponsoring a community open house from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. this evening at the Full Blast located at 35 Hamblin Avenue in downtown Battle Creek. Join the community celebration in honor of the project expected to save the City more than $85,000 annually in energy and maintenance costs.
The energy savings performance contract (ESPC) was designed to improve energy efficiency at the City's community recreation center. Some of the energy conservation measures implemented include a central hot water heating plant that provides the heating capacity for improved building comfort, domestic hot water, and the indoor pool, a new open protocol controls system, and installation of renewable energy features, such as solar energy for the outdoor pool. Each of these measures were designed to increase the efficient use of energy and to decrease the building's emissions and carbon footprint. This project is expected to help reduce the center's operating costs and allow the department to take a leadership role in economic and environmental stewardship in the community.
"At first the complexity of implementing an energy performance contract, as well as monitoring the results, seemed like a daunting task but Ameresco has simplified the process by clearly identifying the inefficiencies in our systems and the straightforward ways in which we can produce more efficient results," said Jeff Hovarter, Director, Battle Creeks Park and Recreation. "I believe it is important for the City and its recreation department to take a proactive role in reducing energy consumption and we feel by partnering with Ameresco, we can utilize taxpayer dollars in the most efficient, effective and environmentally responsible way."
"We extend our best wishes for tonight's open house in honor of completion of the ESPC project that is expected to deliver not only ongoing energy efficiency at the recreation center but significant financial, comfort and environmental benefits for the community," said Louis P. Maltezos, Executive Vice President, Ameresco. "We are honored to have partnered with the City of Battle Creek to develop an efficiency project that improved the recreation center's infrastructure and will also pay for itself through the savings."
The annual emissions reduction from this project is expected to be approximately 332 metric tons of CO2, the equivalent of taking 366 cars off the road or powering 42 homes each year.
Ameresco has a long history of partnering with communities across North America to improve energy infrastructure and install renewable energy technologies. Ameresco's pioneering of the ESPC financing model has made the budget-neutral solution an increasingly popular option for customers, by providing energy efficiency upgrades using a guaranteed savings approach. Ameresco coordinates the upfront project costs and the customer repays that investment with their energy savings over time.

For many people, their dog is like another member of the family, and people want to do everything possible to keep their dog happy and healthy. Animals are wonderful companions for people of any age or gender, as they can help us feel better and relieve stress. But, unfortunately, these companions can be quite expensive, and when your dog ends up sick or in an accident, you can often expect to be burdened with costly medical bills. Fortunately, even among the top dog insurance providers, it is possible to get cheap dog insurance. Dog health insurance will allow you to, in the very least, get basic coverage for your dog so that, in case of illness or emergency, you do not have to be fully burdened with the cost of pet health care treatments.
If you're interested in buying health insurance for your dog, or just want to know more about it, read on to learn more about dog health insurance.
Health insurance for dogs is something that many people do not even know about. A lot of people are unaware that there even is such thing as pet health insurance. For those who are aware of the fact that it does exist, many people may be convinced that it is extremely expensive, because of the high costs of purchasing individual private insurance. But dog health insurance plans -- and pet insurance plans in general -- can be very different in cost. There are low-end dog insurance plans that cost about $10 a month, and these sort of plans cover basic health care, whereas you can get top-of-the-line dog health insurance for about $70 or more a month, and cover just about everything you could even think of, and even things you don't.
It's a good idea, if you are considering getting health insurance for your dog, that you take a look around at the different plans being offered. This is because there is a wide variety of plans available for your pet, and each offer different coverage. Pet insurance plans may cover illness, injury, accident, x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, surgery, dental care, medication, hospitalization, emergency care, pre-existing conditions, pregnancy, and more. Because some plans are so comprehensive, it's a good idea that you educate yourself on the different possible ways in which your dog may need treatment.
The cost of your dog's health care plan will depend on a number of factors, including breed, age and gender. Even older dogs can get senior plans to cover them. When you are considering choosing a plan, you should take into consideration such factors such as how much your insurance carrier will cover annually for the treatment of your dog, how much they will cover for specific treatments, whether or not you will be able to use your own vet, et cetera. There are many important things to keep in mind, so make sure you really get all the information you need before buying dog health insurance.

Russian Oil Execs Agree To Talk With OPEC About cutting production and Boosting Prices. (RT).
Riyadh has asked to meet with world's biggest oil producers, including non-OPEC members, to discuss the current crude price situation and possible output cuts, according to Transneft chairman Nikolay Tokarev.
"Saudi Arabia has taken the initiative, came out with a proposal to discuss the prospects of cutting production. In addition, there will be an OPEC meeting in February, where we [Russian oil authorities and producers] will participate," said Tokarev, who heads the Russian state-owned oil transportation monopoly.He added that cutting production is one way to push up prices and Russia can do that, but only in summer, as it's technically impossible to do that in winter because of the cold.
Both Riyadh and Moscow have softened their stances regarding the current policy of boosting exports to compensate for cheaper crude, according to Iraq's Oil Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi on Tuesday, speaking on the sidelines of a conference in Kuwait.
So far, within OPEC, only Algeria and Venezuela have clearly expressed support for a production cut.
However, Iraq, OPEC's second-biggest producer after Saudi Arabia, softened its stance this week, saying it is now willing to reduce its output if all major producers inside and outside of OPEC agree.
OPEC Governor Nawal al-Fuzaia hinted on Tuesday that OPEC is ready to cut production in an effort to slow down the plunge in oil prices. The governor told an energy forum in Kuwait that OPEC is ready to "cooperate" with others to stabilize the crude market. Hmmm........Just with speculation on the coming cuts the price of oil will rise. Read more here.
Global oil prices will not remain at the current level, around $30 a barrel, for long, Charles Ellinas, oil market expert, Executive President, Cyprus National Hydrocarbons Company (CNHC) believes.
"It is an over-reaction to recent developments coupled with trader speculation," Ellinas told Trend.
"Iran will not ramp up its production as fast as many suggested and US shale oil production is already on a downward trend," he added.
The US crude oil production is projected to average 8.7 million barrels per day in 2016 and 8.5 million barrels per day in 2017.
Ellinas said that the current oil prices are hurting many countries now. "There is not much of a choice but to carry on," he said.
"However, some recovery is on the way. Already the OPEC Secretary-General is calling non-OPEC and OPEC members to cooperate in addressing the depressed oil market," Ellinas said.
He expects that by the middle of the year we will be back to around $50 a barrel.

Annshella discovered cosplay while she was studying art. She was very much inspired by our special cosplay guest Yaya Han's work and started cosplaying in spring 2006. Annshella has been hooked on the hobby ever since! Her first costume was Tira, from Soul Calibur III, a costume made with a little bit of sewing and a lot of hot glue! For her, cosplay is more than a simple hobby, it's a way of life!
Since she debuted cosplay, Annshella has improved her costuming and acting skills a lot and her cosplay adventure lead her to winning the London Super ComicCon Cosplay Championship back in 2014 (along with Nikita) and she therefore had the chance to fly all the way to Atlanta's DragonCon (yes, we're all very jealous!).
Annshella, Sikay and Nikita were the group category winners of the 5th season of the European Cosplay Gathering. These amazing ladies will be giving a workshop together, during which they'll be sharing their experiences about making your own fabric design and creating color gradients on fabric for cosplay on Saturday the 23rd of October, from 4.15pm to 5.15pm in the Cosplay Workshops Room. You can also find Nikita, Sikay and Annshella on Nikita's booth, in the Hall 6, just next to the Be Cosplay table.

SOUTH BEND -- His team behind by 13 points early in the fourth quarter, Washington senior Jonathan Jamerson knew it was time to take charge. Jamerson scored 17 of his 30 points in the fourth period, rallying the Panthers to a 69-66 high school basketball victory over Elkhart Memorial Saturday night. It was Washington coach Chad Johnston's decision not to start Jamerson, who entered the lineup midway through the first period but did not take a shot until the second quarter. "Our guys look for him in critical situations,'' said Johnston. And Jamerson was everywhere to be found in the fourth quarter. It was a 3-pointer by Jamerson with 56 seconds to play that nudged the Panthers into a 66-64 lead. He added two free throws with 17 seconds left and one more with nine seconds to go. He finished 10-for-15 shooting, including a pair of threes, and was 8-for-12 at the free throw line. Memorial senior Kevin Sindle scored 22, nine in the third quarter as the Chargers dominated the period. Six-foot-five Brandon Boyd scored 14 for the Panthers. "Our big men played better in the second half,'' said Johnston. A basket by Jamaal Pittman in the opening seconds of the fourth period put Memorial ahead, 58-45, before Jamerson took over. "Not being able to hold the lead, that's the most disappointing thing,'' said Memorial coach Steve Johnson. "We had a lot of breakdowns by different people, but give Washington credit.'' Johnston gave Quentel Weston and Chris Newman credit for doing the best they could against Sindle. "Both those kids, Sindle and Jamerson, should be all-state candidates,'' added Johnston. Memorial took an early 13-6 lead, then rallied from a 29-22 deficit with three minutes left in the half to take a 32-31 advantage on Sindle's basket at the halftime buzzer. The Chargers never trailed in the second half until Jamerson's 3-pointer with 56 seconds to play.

MANILA (Reuters) - Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has moved a step closer to securing a crucial source of funding for his massive infrastructure plans after senators approved a tax reform bill.
The Senate passed on Tuesday evening the first of five tax reform packages Duterte is pushing, giving it time to reconcile its version with the proposal the lower house of Congress approved in May, before a recess starts on Dec. 16.
Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez said the government hopes a final congressional version could be sent to Duterte by December "so the tax reform bill could then be signed into law and implemented as scheduled by January."
Duterte, who took office 17 months ago, has promised to usher in a "golden age of infrastructure" by raising annual spending on it to 7 percent of gross domestic product from less than 3 percent.
To ensure there are enough resources to fulfill that promise, his economic managers have asked Congress to pass a series of tax measures to boost state coffers and make the tax system fairer and more simple.
The Senate version is expected to raise 100 billion to 130 billion pesos ($2.0 billion-$2.6 billion) for the government in the first year of implementation, according to Senator Sonny Angara who heads its tax committee. The House version is projected to generate 157 billion pesos.
Duterte enjoys a clear majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate. The bill was approved by 17 of the 18 senators who voted.
Like the House version, the Senate bill provides for individuals tax exemptions for those earning 250,000 pesos annually and below.
But it reduces slightly the proposed tax on sugary beverages and retains value-added tax exemptions for items such as low-cost rentals and mass housing.
The Senate's plan hikes some mining taxes, increases the final tax on foreign currency deposits, raises coal excise taxes and doubles documentary stamp tax rates on documents, instruments, loan agreements and papers.
Michael Wan, a Singapore-based economist at Credit Suisse, said the Senate's version is slightly more supportive of private consumption because its inflationary impact is lower.
"Difficulty lies in reconciling differences between Senate and House versions in bicameral conference," Wan said in a note.

The goat milk soap is very nice and seems very gentle. I love the roll on facial moisturizer. It is so convenient and a great moisturizer. Everything smells so clean and fresh. The products are very skin soothing.
Posted by Unknown on 30th Jun 2015
I've mainly used the soap and think it's great. I have sensitive skin and it seems to have cut down on dryness and breakouts.
I will definitely buy again.
Posted by Unknown on 27th Feb 2015
I absolutely LOVE all of these products!
The Baby Me Goat Milk Soap is amazing, makes your skin soft, smooth and moisturized. I'm not even through with my sample bar and already order 5 more! The Replenish Facial Moisturizer is my new favorite for my daily face routine, makes my skin feel so soft and smooth and even though it is an oil it is not greasy and does not make your skin shiny. My young daughter and husband are also using these products and love them, esp the Shea body butter on dry winter skin.
Would definitely recommend these products.
Posted by Sandra on 4th Feb 2015
The moisturizer is the best I have ever used, in a short time, I already have seen improvements in the lines between my eyes and on my neck. this is my new go to product and will keep using it!
Posted by Karen R on 9th Jan 2015
I have used everything in the sampler EXCEPT the Original Lip Balm because it was not included in the bag of products. The soap is wonderful; my skin does not feel or look dry or itchy, and I hardly need to use the body lotion, although I do. The Body Butter cured a chapping condition on my hand that nothing else could. The Replenish moisturizer is making a noticeable difference in the lines between my brows and it is so easy to use. I would have loved to try the lip balm because chapped lips are a regular wintertime problem, but it was not in the package and I've not had time to contact Alabu about it. But, I will buy more of the products I received.
Posted by Barb on 7th Jan 2015
Bought 2 as a gift for Christmas. Tracking said they were delivered, but nothing could be found at my house. Contacted Alabu and they were very helpful to follow up on the tracking. After Christmas my neighbor came over with my package as the PO had delivered it to the wrong house. The sampler set was a perfect introduction to a non user. Great gift especially with the promo sale.
Posted by Unknown on 26th Dec 2014
feels soft but makes me itch and get hives. got anything for people with rosacea? cant find anything so far.
Posted by Unknown on 17th Aug 2014
We really like your products. My wife has taken over the lotion and likes how soft her skin is now. I like the lip balm. Thanks, Alabu!
Posted by Lin R. on 8th Jul 2014
I am so happy I ordered this Sampler! All the products are wonderful! My favorite is the wonderful soap bar....perfect for my face as it is gentle but thorough and leaves my skin soft, not dry and tight like other cleaners. My 20 year old daughter loves it too. And the roll-on face moisturizer is terrific! Convenient to just apply where I need more moisture, and absorbs gradually.
I am a customer for life now! Thanks, Alabu!
Posted by Christie C. on 26th Apr 2014
I first purchased a mild bar of soap to replace my facial soap. I was previously using clique normal skin soap daily-my skin now looks and feels softer. I have had several compliments that I look younger (I'm 47 so that's always nice to hear).
When offered I bought the above products-our office joke is when things get out of control crazy we stop and feel how soft Christie's face and arms (we are OT's and PT's so touching others is normal) while gathering our peace of mind again. It's funny and true that my skin is much softer. I have shared your products with others and continue to promote you in hopes that others discover the quality of your line.
