Trendy. Trendier! Trendiest! This striking backpack with its diagonal zip is unicolour, and the cheeky diagonal zip a bit more colourful.
You can't tell by looking, but this ZIPPER backpack is made from recycled soft drink bottles. So it's environmentally friendly too. The matt exterior gives the bag a chic yet sturdy character. The hand and shoulder straps are made from polyester but are as flexible as cotton. There are multi-coloured zips on the front and top of the bag.

Here in Canada Thanksgiving was a few weeks ago. But now, as I am working on new designs I am also thinking how thankful I am for all the people out there supporting my business. A business that allows me to be here for my family and at the same time do something I love.
The online business world has changed so much since I started 'Speckled Frog Crochet' back in late 2009. Back in the early years my Facebook business page was not a place where new designs were promoted as much as a place where people, mostly women and moms with young children chatted freely about the trials and tribulations of life and motherhood.
The hours I worked were long and late. Many nights as my family slept I would be working on new a design that I was anxious to see unfold. It was during those late evenings I would chat with people through Etsy Convo or on Facebook. These are the times friendships were formed and bonds were made with people I had never even met face-to-face. I knew customers by name, their children names and often details of their life which were so often in common with mine. Then I took a break from designing…
When I came back oh my gosh things had changed! So many designers so many Facebook pages and I felt completely out of touch and overwhelmed. Everywhere I turned "Get More Followers!" was pushed in my face so I did. But… I missed the intimacy of what my business used to be.
Now I feel things have come full circle. Numbers don't mean that much to me anymore (not to say I don't appreciate EVERYONE who follows me – I DO!) But I look forward to seeing the people who comment, share their projects and are in my life on a weekly and sometimes daily basis. I look for you now – and if you aren't there I miss you! Sounds silly I know but really how is it any different than looking forward to seeing the people you work with? So please keep sharing, keep messaging me to show my what you have made or to touch base. I really do enjoy it 🙂
Last year I did a re-launch and you all made it more successful than I could have ever imagined. I ended up in the top 10 sellers on Etsy for 3 days in a row! I am so sincerely both humbled and thankful for this.
Now I am spending more time on my blog and YouTube. I have created these venues as a place where I can give back. Here you will not be bombarded with ads or pop-ups to get more from you. Just come here an enjoy free video tutorials and free patterns – this space is all about you!
Long posts like this are very rare by me – but this is written from the heart. I hope you have all taken a moment to read this so you know how much you mean to me.
Much love and appreciation,
Cyprianne xo

Home » Artist Biographies
Woodcarver and Blowgun Maker
Ivy Billiot, a member of the Houma Indian tribe, was born in 1945 in Grand Cailou and was raised in Houma. He recalls that his neighborhood then was in the woods and that there was nothing back there but a cane field. His father, Cyril Billiot, made baskets of split cypress for many years, a skill Ivy's brother Easton carries on today.
Ivy Billiot is a woodcarver whose work is exceptional in its beauty and close attention to detail. For years he worked for Terrebonne Parish as a crew leader and channel finder. He was an expert chain saw operator whose work entailed cutting down trees in ditches and along bayous. Retired now, he is a full-time artist who does much of his carvings on commission. A number of private collectors collect Ivy Billiot's pieces. His regular buyers specifically request a more natural look. Much of Ivy's work is marked by its lifelike realism, complete with such painstaking details as whiskers on a crow and blue and green highlights in a trout's scales. He carves a wide variety of birds, animals, and other objects: ducks and geese, alligators, chickens, pirogues, fishing boats, and blowguns. Ivy creates wildlife carvings from the wood native to Louisiana. Billiot says that he is always experimenting and trying new things in his work.
Mr. Ivy Billiot says, "I've been doing this ever since I've been a little boy. I guess I must have started when I was about five years old, maybe six. I used to see those other boys play with little boats in the canal, you know," and so he decided to make himself one. Later, when he saw how a real boat was made, "I said, I can do this" and went home and made an accurate model. When he was perhaps thirteen or fourteen years old, he made a plywood seaplane to play with in the ditch. He also made an eight foot long plane and added an old washing machine motor before selling it for five dollars. He is knowledgeable about electronics, and as an adult, he once made a working satellite dish. He says, "I can do just about anything if you show me what it looks like."
Although he occasionally carved when he was working for the parish, Ivy became much more serious about woodcarving when he retired. He says, "It was kind of rough when I got started, but I caught on." Working at home, he carves his pieces by hand, but sometimes uses a chainsaw or squirrel saw to rough out pieces. He works from observation, pictures in books, or memory. Of alligators and other creatures he makes often he says, "I have it in my mind, it's stuck there." He is scrupulous about detail not only in carving, but also in painting his pieces.
Mr. Billiot also makes blowguns. After carefully inspecting one of Antione Billiot's blowguns, Ivy went into the woods, cut a suitable piece of elderberry, and carved a blowgun and darts. After finishing, he decided to decorate it. Plaited strips of palmetto were the traditional decoration, but since Ivy didn't know how to braid palmetto, he decided to put some feathers on it and make a design by wrapping leather strips around the blowgun. He has been making blowguns for sale ever since. Ivy has begun painting small animals on some of his blowguns, especially red crawfish, an emblem associated with the Houma tribe.
Mr. Billiot has demonstrated his skills at the Louisiana Folklife Festival, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, at Vermillionville, and other fairs and festivals.

God is a logically necessary metaphysical foundation of everything for intellectuals who see or seek reason and rationality everywhere.
There are many ways of "not reading" the Bible, my friend.
What interests me here is the relationship between a promising theory of the physical world and religion, being religion considered at both the philosophical approach and the established, organized religion's approach.Everything is energy and there's nothing but energy. Okay, where's God?
Two possible answers:1) as ever,in order to create the world (in this case, energy) God has necessarily to be "out of this world". It's not possible to be part of its own creation. Nothing changes from the classic theories and God keeps on being an "entity" with exactly the same logical needed attributes.
How does the spiritual world goes along with the continuum theory? that's a nice question.
JS, you have some problem with my conclusion and you keep going on about it, but you are not addressing any of my premises. This is precisely the wrong way to do it. Try again. Try it the right way.
today where quantum particles and their behavior is all but solved.
You are right that you can build a legitimate doctrine around the concept of Logos and I admit that such doctrine would not lend itself to easy interpretation in terms of the continuum theory. I personally don't see how to reconcile them and this is one of the reasons why my focus is on the concept of spirit instead, not Logos. Logos sounds instrumental. Spirit sounds fundamental. Everybody takes whatever works for them, and I've taken spirit.
nstead of energy, or maybe in addition to energy and space (omnipresence), think of it as omniscience and omnipotence. It cannot be bottled up. When you think you are bottling it up as energy, then who is bottling it up? It's the same spirit on the subject side of the metaphysical equation who is allowing experiments on the object side through your instrumentality. You can bottle up nuclear energy alright, and the explosion looks stunning to the eyes, to all the senses, but this only blinds you to the power on the subject side which enables all this.
First, I'm sure we understand classic theories differently. Is it Newtonian physics or Aristotelian cosmology for you? Among European traditions, Neoplatonism stands closest to me, and this is different from Newtonian and Aristotelian views.
Second, God is not an entity. More specifically, not an entity among others.
It's precisely metaphysics, not physics, which enables a razor-sharp distinction of God and the universe, and at the same time reconciles the distinction with God's omnipresence. Physics cannot do this.
Now, had you asked how the spiritual world goes along with the physical world, what's the distinction and what's the relation, I would be interested to answer at length. But you didn't ask.
It seems to me that you possibly understood the continuum theory as a mere physics theory. Wrong impression. Continuum is more like a universal philosophical concept, readily applicable to math, social sciences, physics, anywhere really. To spirituality too. I personally did not pick it up from any book. I was born with it. Then I had to struggle hard with Newtonian atomistic physics in school, which forced me to gradually clarify and elaborate the continuum theory until I understood its full implications.
I see your dichotomy Logos/Spirit - instrumental/fundamental only valid as if Logos being defined as the rational nature of Spirit. I'm not certain if you wanted to mean it that way.
You're forgetting the fourth characteristic of God besides omniscience, omnipresence and omnipotence (as so frequently people do). He has to be Good.Does God needs to be good with the continuum theory? I don't know.. The continuum extirpates God from moral values, I'm afraid.
As you know, after man start looking into the the world of the infinitely small, where laws from "our scale" doesn't apply anymore, you can't be a physicist without having a deep interest about philosophical issues.
For now, what turns really interesting is that you seem to be a "continuum mystical".Some things never change, the moment this theory appears and there's already divisions.
It's a very good article.
@jseaton2311 - You quote me wrongly.
That's exactly what blessed Ruysbroek says. He puts a check on himself referring to church's authority. What's your reaction? I personally prefer uninhibited individual quest.
None of us knows what was to be alive at the thirteen century, none of us knows what was the relationship people from that time had with liberty for start and even less with religion or the Holy Mother Church.We also don't know what a thirteen century man would think about "uninhibited".
History of Mentalities is a very recent and very promising area of Historical Studies exactly because it aims to let us learn about what was to be alive at those remote times.
Just the other day, you mentioned the Catholic Church as a place were each one could chose from a variety of Orders, kind of a spiritual gourmet menu... I'm certain we have very nice contemplative Orders where you can feel totally uninhibited for your quest. Ah, no forums I'm afraid, social mysticism hasn't arrived yet.
This sort of stuff is really for contemplation alone, [...]
Quote from: ersi on 2014-06-19, 06:19:53This sort of stuff is really for contemplation alone, [...]Not exactly... most of those Orders have strange ideas about sanctity through manual work... you'll have to sweat a lot while digging at the monastery garden...
All that is made always under the supervision of Priests and in strict accordance with the Church rules and guides.You wouldn't like it.
Well... you seem to have your homework well done Ersi... [...]In fact, is more than accept celibacy, is to desire it. Desiring no desire.
I've done my homework on this point too. And done it well.
We teach that all people are of the same worth and we encourage relationships of love as big as life itself. It doesn't diminish the value of the traditional marriage when the protection provided by means of marriage is also provided to same-sex couples.
When one works for Ikea, but agrees only to sell tables and not stools, one may still be an excellent table salesman, but it's unlikely to progress much in career this way.
A problem with institutional religion is lack of commitment to principles.

Restorative Justice
Restorative justice empowers students to resolve conflicts on their own and in small groups, and it's a growing practice at schools around the country. Essentially, the idea is to bring students together in peer-mediated small groups to talk, ask questions, and air their grievances.
Questions Used During the Restorative Justice Process:
- What happened?
- How did it happen?
- What part did you play in it?
- How were you affected by what you did?
- Who else was affected by what you did?
- What can you do to repair the harm?
- What do you need to make it right?

Magnesium takes part in over 300 metabolic processes in the body which makes it one of the most important minerals for your health. Magnesium deficiency can lead to a number of health issues and knowing the symptoms can be really helpful when dealing with this condition. Read on to find out what the most common symptoms are and how to increase your magnesium levels naturally.
What does magnesium do?
Magnesium plays an important tool for the proper function of almost every organ in your body, especially your heart, muscles and kidneys. It's a co-factor in more than 300 enzyme systems in the body. It helps prevent damage from free radicals, heavy metals and other toxins, thus playing a significant role in your body's detoxification processes. Low magnesium levels can result in unexplained fatigue or weakness, abnormal heart rhythms or even muscle spasms and eye twitches.
Magnesium is responsible for:
– Proper transportation of calcium, silica, vitamin D, vitamin K, and obviously magnesium.
– Activating muscles and nerves
– Creating energy in the body
– Detoxification
– Helping digest proteins, carbohydrates, and fats
– Serves as building blocks for RNA and DNA synthesis
– Acting as a precursor for neurotransmitters like serotonin
Early signs of magnesium deficiency include:
– Loss of appetite
– Nausea
– Vomiting
– Fatigue and weakness
– Numbness
– Tingling
– Muscle contractions and cramps
– Seizures
– Personality changes
– Abnormal heart rhythms
– Coronary spasms
– High blood pressure
– Blood clots
What causes magnesium deficiency?
Magnesium deficiency has been linked to modern farming techniques and it's believed that they deplete the minerals and vitamins from the soil in which the food we eat is grown. And it's even worse if the soil has been treated with chemical fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides. In layman's terms, the food that's supposed to contain magnesium doesn't and this leads to a deficiency. There are also some medical conditions which can make it more difficult for your body to absorb magnesium such as: kidney disease, Crohn's disease or other conditions that affect digestion, parathyroid problems, taking antibiotics or drugs for diabetes and cancer, old age and alcohol abuse.
How to get more magnesium?
You can find inexpensive products that feature magnesium citrate, which is among the most readily absorbed forms of magnesium supplements.
You can also apply transdermal magnesium chloride topically to be absorbed internally through the skin. Magnesium chloride is also known as magnesium oil, though not really an oil, more of a briny solution from ancient sea beds. It is available through various online sources, so just Google magnesium oil products to locate some.
If you don't want to supplement and simply want to acquire magnesium through food sources, here are some of the top foods that can relieve you of any magnesium deficiency symptoms:
Cashew Nuts– 1 ounce is equivalent to 20% of your daily value.
Almond– 1 ounce supplies 19% of your daily value.
Avocados– 1 fruit is equivalent to 15% of your daily value.
Bananas – 1 medium fruit supplies 8% of your daily value.
Lentils– 1 cup of cooked lentils is equivalent to 18% of your daily value.
Chocolate– 1 bar gives you 58% of your daily value.
Figs– 1 cup of dried figs is equivalent to 25% of your daily value.
Okra– 1 cup of boiled okra gives you 14% of your daily value.
Seeds– 1 ounce whole, roasted pumpkin or squash supplies 19% of your daily value.
Squash– 1 cup is equivalent to 11% of your daily value.
Rice – 1 cup of long grain brown rice supplies 21% of your daily value.
Spinach – 1 cup of cooked spinach gives you 39% of your daily value

Learning About Tatting
I just wrote a bit about tatting for Needle Exchange on MrXStitch, something I know close to nothing about. So that was interesting. I did find a book called The Art of Tatting by Lady Katharin Louisa Hoare, and the into was written by Queen Elizabeth of Romania. I thought I'd share a portion here-
I thought this was amazing. This little bit really stuck in my head-
Anyway, head over to MrXStitch to check it out!

Please allow me to share my trepidation with you over the upcoming Red Riding Hood movie. I have to agree with a comment made on you tube for this – Gary Oldman and Amanda what's her face, should, SHOULD be a good combination for this movie.
But Catherine Hardwicke as director…I've already lost faith.
I know scarier and better versions of this tale than this. Here's hoping it doesn't completely miss the mark.
Jack and Diane is a John Mellancamp song and it is also, an upcoming movie that heyyouguys.co.uk says
"Jack and Diane tells the story of two teenage girls who meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously."
I gather it's a rather sexual movie in nature then, given this description.
Apparently "Diane must struggle to keep their love alive while hiding the secret that her newly awakened sexual desire is giving her werewolf-like visions."
And singer Kylie Minogue is going to get it one with at least one of the girls in the film. Not bad going.
Only I'm not sure, I get what "Werewolf-like visions" are.
Is this a desperate reach to link sexuality and werewolves?
Or some film maker trying to "re boot" the notion of werewolves to the film going public?
Trying to out-twilight – twilight perhaps? Hmm.
Got news for you.
Twilight works because it's about epic romance. A sweeping scale of ideal epic fantasy. That's it. I'd want to hope that Jack and Diane if they're going to do some sort of pseudo association with werewolves, they would not go down the twilight path of glitter. I'd want to hope they attempt to give us werewolves a good name.
Well, they are setting the film, in New York, apparently. So there is good source material there, if they know where and how to go looking for it. If they want the actors to go all method and get amongst the real werewolves of New York. Or if they could get anyone to talk about our culture. We could act like consultants to them, I guess.
Still, I'm not sure what "werewolf like visions" means. I mean, if you want to go littoral on this term. Are they saying that when the girl is turned on, her mind ticks over to that of a more baser animal and she see's people through animal eyes, and gets turned on in a violent manner?
That's not what happens to me. No, there is definitely only a feeling of potential violence when there's blood and running and screaming. Then the animal werewolf in me kind of wants to go hunting. But most of the time my werewolf is placid by comparison.
There's this thing about shape shifting, that we all work very hard to obtain and keep when we're taught as werewolves grow up. The mindset of the human you, can affect the mindset of the werewolf you. So if you're aggravated and traumatized and upset when you shape shift, then you're wolf is likely to keep those sensations when your body physically changes. And you come to, in tribal form, like you're on a rage spree. That's when stuff is not good.
It's also partially why we shape shift with partners, or in groups. If your werewolf comes to in a highly hyper-active state of anger, then there will be other werewolves there to contain the situation of your overly emotional state. Basically, they'll pull you into line and put you in your place.
Werewolves, we look out for each other.
Werewolves and lesbians is there a difference? Well I'd want to hope whatever the difference was, it was a positive one, since Jack and Dianne is associating one of the lesbian characters of this movie with "werewolf like visions". That term disturbs me. Makes me think the wrong thing. That maybe it's some sort of euphemism for a way of saying same sex /werewolf sexuality is not normal. Which I'd hate to think was the message being sent out.
I'm assuming that the by saying "werewolf like visions", that this term more than likely refers to some sort of carnal lust and control issue, when the horny teenager is at her wits end and turned on completely. Guess they are going down the twilight path, horny, teenager, holding back , werewolf visions…blah blah blah…yawn.
Anyway, I have to get ready for my night out, with my Alpha wolf in the clubs. No need to hold back. Thankfully, I'm not a teenager.
*if you haven't seen the recent movie Predators, then this a potential spoiler alert for the movie. Don't read, if you don't want to know stuff before you've seen the movie.*
Predators 3 is basically a mixture and natural conclusion of what would come next, in the Predator film franchise, when involving predators and humans.
The basic storyline for predator 3 is a group of what we think are unsuspecting /unassuming humans at first, are dropped quite literally out of the sky and into a foreign jungle. If they wake up mid free fall, and manage to get their parachute open, they consider themselves lucky to be alive. That is, until they find out the foreign jungle is actually another planet, which is home to the Predators. And that the Predators are hunting the humans.
The werewolves I was with, watching this movie, weren't cheering the humans on.
They were cheering the predators.
We got a bit noisy.
Pretty lucky we didn't get chucked out.
We were cheering the Predators on, not because they were hunting humans, but because they were so damn fierce looking and because we wanted to see the predators in battle. Werewolves love to fight and I guess you could say, whilst we city werewolves don't hunt these days, as there is no need, we are still attracted to the scene of a battle. Especially an epic one between foes. It's like some basic part of us, that is always just under the surface of our skin.
We like the idea of besting ourselves. Of proving the animal side of us, is there, I supposed, for a reason. And because we don't tend to hunt like wild wolves do. I guess it's that same part of us that finds watching a superior being like the predator, hunting, well, quite fascinating really. Especially considering the predators, seem like a hybrid of animal and being, much like a werewolf.
They have the ability to use weaponry – some seriously kick ass weaponry, rather than just relay on animal or self made abilities. Something that perhaps appealed to us all sitting there watching the movie. I mean, in a street fight, in human form, I might not think to automatically arm myself with weaponry initially, but that's because I wasn't brought up that way. Being a werewolf has it's advantages, and we're taught to use those advantages and to build on our werewolf given skills first. But if it came down to win / lose situation and I had to, I wouldn't be so proud as to not use whatever weaponry was at my disposal.
Especially if it meant continuing the fight in hand to hand combat.
However, when we shape shift to our wolf form, obviously paws don't work like hands do. Opposable thumbs. Useful things that they are.
That's the other exciting part of this film as with the other two. It's the build up of the stalking and potential dangers of humans v predators. But ultimately, battle for superiority and general survival, comes down to hand to hand combat. You have to get close to the beast to try and kill it. And most werewolves would probably tell you they subscribe to the theory, you don't really know what you're fighting until you've got your hands on it.
"повторно один безобразный ублюдок"
English translation "You're one ugly motherfucker." – Nickolai, Predators
None of this, sniper shit from 1000 miles away crap. No, to end the game, you have to be in the thick of the fight. And what's fiercer than a test of who's the best, weapons, or hands in a close contact fight? Sorry, I'm getting excited even now, as I write this out.
For me, and I think I speak for the various others of my motley movie crew, when I say, there was not enough screen time for the Predators. Too much, wah wah wah, kill me a human going on. Although if I have to sit through a movie, watching Adrien Brody be action man, again, I've decided I'm okay with that.
As long as the shirt come off.
Also in Predators 3, we see something not seen before. We are given a glimpse at the types of predators available. There are some sort of what I'd call second cousins removed – hell hounds, there are the regular warrior type of predators we've seen in the past two movies, and there is an even bigger, possibly older, version of the warrior predator. It came across to us werewolves as a hierarchy of sorts. Based on age and skilled abilities. The smaller predators we, assumed were youthful warriors, that had to prove themselves, go through a ritual of manhood, if you will, to the older predators. Who in return, hunt those weaker, unworthy or unskilled, younger warrior predators as well as the humans.
Guess it makes me appreciate that I have a good pack and we don't do that kind of crap to one another. Also makes me wonder what us werewolves would be like in a different time, and a different place.
In other words, I totally loved this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"He's in Town with a Few Days to Kill.
Park. Pull over. And Pray." – Predator 2
My brother Markus and I recently held a Predator movie marathon in the spirit of getting familiar again with all the Predator movies before we go off and see the newest one of them all – Predators. Yes, plural. Put an S on the end and hello, marketing genius!
Predator 2 is again a movie that the werewolves of New York can possibly relate to quite easily. It's not all about the bloodshed and killing either.
This time, because it's set in a city (Los Angeles) and the Predator, has to deal with a different landscape, and personalities encountered in the urban jungle, rather than the environmental jungle, like in the first movie.
As in the first movie, the Predator engages in stalking and hunting it's prey, by watching the strongest or best, if you will, fighters in a gun fight. The predator, doesn't want an easy target, not that it doesn't collect a few weaklings on the way, because hey, fun and kill ratio. But ultimately, it wants a worthy competitor, which is why it chooses Lieutenant Mike Harrigan from the LAPD (Danny Glover) to go one on one with.
A werewolf will willingly go into almost any fight you present it with. Because fighting to us, is quite natural and well, in a sense of some kind, fun. Sometimes, most of the times. Well, you know, when you're in human form and you know, you can push the boundaries of your body and you want to. But really, a werewolf will only fight a worthy, opponent when in wolf form or if they really have to. There will be some good reasoning behind it.
Like the Predator, we won't jump into any old situation, or be provoked easily. We have more brains than that, even when in werewolf form.
Again, the attraction for us werewolves to the Predator is one of similarity. The Predator has to cope in the city environment like we do. It has to be smart and essentially hide its true self – so it cloaks itself to become invisible. Werewolves whilst not A) Aliens or B) invisible – but damn, wouldn't that be cool ? – quite often have to hide our werewolf self from the everyday populace. Because werewolves roaming the street, all furry and what not, would freak people out. Freaked out people panic. Panic becomes reaction and then you find bad situations arise. People don't think when they're in a react mode.
Like the Predator alien, when in animal form, werewolves, will be far more aggressive in nature than in human form. If we sense your fear and panic and you run in front of us, we'll think it means we can go hunting. Namely, you. It's animal logic. It just switches on and it's hard to see past it and switch if off when your in tribal form and you get the notion of hunting prey, and bloodshed in your mind.
However, there is a disconcernable difference that werewolves don't share with the Predator. We don't hunt for fun. At least, not any werewolves I know of. I know of a Lycan that does, since she once decided to hunt me, all because I just happened to be a werewolf in her existence. No other real reasoning to it. If you've read my post on that little life experience before, we haven't lost sight of her completely.
Ultimately whilst we only see one Predator playing games with the human casualties in this movie, we find out in the end, that of course, there is more than one. Which leads me to presume, they hunt as a pack. Maybe they just split into groups. Or maybe it's like a competition between them, each Predator goes their own way and see who gets the most human trophies – body count and skulls.
I haven't hunted in a pack formation, because I haven't really hunted before. There's been no need in my life. I'm a city werewolf, growing up in a concrete jungle and dealing with female logic in life, dating, sex, shoes and relationships. That kind of thing, more than enough to work my brain around majority of the time.
But I still feel the urge to hunt, when I shape shift. It could be called a kind of restlessness within. In particular when I shape shift in the outdoors. Pack hunting is not unheard of with werewolves. It can be quite useful when taking down a larger enemy or piece of prey that has good defenses. Whist there is also safety in numbers, there is also strength in numbers and the ability to overpower the prey in question.
The biggest association that attracts most of the werewolves I know, who are fans of the various Predator movies, is the almost indestructible nature of the Predator alien. We see that in ourselves. We understand the thought that you can just do the things the Predator does, because you've got superior abilities.
Of course, living as humans and sharing the nature of the werewolf means, we can't flaunt that ability. It's part and parcel of what restricts the werewolf.
When I announced I was going to go to the movies and see the new Predators movie, I was met by a lot of happy noise over the family dinner table. Everyone wanted to see the movie.
Is it any wonder really?
Family of werewolves, want to see a movie called, Predators.
To get into the mood for the new movie, it was suggested that we should all re-watch the other Predator movies in this film franchise. So Markus and I held a movie marathon.
Have you ever sat through an animal movie with a werewolf?
You really should, it's fun. We all go crazy at certain points in the film. Get very vocal, growling, howling and whooping it up.
For those who live under a rock and have no idea what I'm talking about, Predator was the original movie, that stared Arnold Schwarzenegger in a Guatemala jungle with a special forces team, sent on a rescue mission. They came across a Predator (Alien) and were hunted by the Predator.
Is it any wonder in the Predator movie, that we werewolves, identify greatly with this first movie. It's not so far from a pack movie, there are elements we all saw and recognized easily in it.
There's a lot of Alpha male bullshit from the humans. Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Dylan (Carl Jackson) grasp bulging arms when they first meet and attempt to hand wrestle for top dog dominance. It's about showing each other they've still got it (skills, ego, strength, dicks, whatever) and that one of them, is definitely the top dog and leader over the other. In this case, it would be Dutch, the hero of the piece, the one who gives the group/ pack of soldiers their orders.
Then there are the soldiers of the movie, not that much unlike us solider wolves in a pack. You just have to watch the scene where you get to see each of the personalities in the Chopper. It's the solider with the glasses – Hawkins, who shows you how unsuspecting and deceiving looks can be. He looks skinny, wears glasses and is the most unlikely of the group to look the part of well oiled, war experienced solider. The rest are boisterous, full of attitude and have huge muscles. But it's Hawkins, the quiet one, who catches whatever is being thrown at him in the chopper, without even looking up or flinching. Showing his super skills and hinting at there's a reason, he's with the macho males, earning him a knowing smile from his fellow solider, Poncho.
Werewolves are much the same as this.
You'd never know what we are to look at us in human form. We look normal enough. But it's when a petite woman can pretty much lift up the back of a car off the ground or outrun the likes of an Olympic athlete, that you'd probably start thinking differently. But like the soldiers in this movie, we're taught to blend in, to camouflage ourselves in society. To survive.
In this first movie Predator, we see a lot of instinct – Billy the tracker – also a werewolf trait – tracking, not only figures out their situation involves more than gorilla warfare soldiers. But he senses the presence of the Predator and starts to look for it before the others really become aware of what's going on or what they are up against.
Werewolves use instinct a lot. Especially when in tribal form. It's kind of like, the epicenter for how animals think. They don't necessarily just react without reasoning. There's thought, and there's instinct ingrained into us. In how to react to other wolves, and how to fight. As much as there is knowledge of the culture we live in. Pack wolves are formidable.
The first movie also takes you the viewer through what the Predator sees. How it sees, how it hears and how it thinks. This part of the movie, shows you that Animals (or aliens as the case may be) have intelligence beyond general assumption and thought. Because beings do not look like humans, does not mean, they do not essentially function or behave in a similar fashion.
The Predator bleeds. Humans bleed. The Predator walks upright on two feet. Humans walk upright on two feet. The Predator uses weapons, the humans use and construct weapons. The Predator hunts, like any human hunter would hunt. Spying on it's prey, watching and waiting for it's prey, until it's challenged. The Predator, like werewolves, uses it's environment, in camouflage, higher ground when taking to the trees.
The Predator recognizes the dominant male in Dutch, when Dutch decides to stop running and take it on, one on one. It is this attitude from the hero, Dutch, that is much like werewolves, when in human form. We'd rather fight than run, any day of the week. We believe in attack, rather than defend. We understand the showmanship of dominance, the importance of displaying strength, whether in numbers of solo.
There is a mentality behind it.
Much like that, hidden ,behind the eyes of a werewolf.
Okay let's get the warning out of the way now:
Even a man who is pure of heart
and says his prayers by night
may become a wolf
when the wolfbane blooms
in the autumn moon is bright.
That ought to cover it. Oh and *SPOLER*SPOILER*SPOILER* ahead.
This is a werewolf's review of the 2010 Wolfman movie.
The new Wolfman movie is not so much a remake of the 1941 original with Lon Chaney Jnr (yes he that was immortalized in the Warren Levon song – Werewolves of London).
Rather it's a bit of a re-telling.
Either way, it's still pretty good.
A lot of the original elements are included in the movie.
Larry Talbot (Benicio Del Toro) returns to his father's (Sir Anthony Hopkins) home – Talbolt Hall, upon the death of his brother. In doing so he meets Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt) the grieving fiancé of his brother. Larry vows to Gwen to find out all he can about the brutally savage and unexpected death / murder of his brother, that everyone in the village of Blackmoor, England says was at the hands of a lunatic or a beast.
In the process of investigating his brother's death, Larry gets attacked by the beast and thus, becomes the wolfman, under full moonlight.
First of all, I have to say, the fight scene in the gypsy camp, well it kind of had me wound up, in a good way.
Cheering for the werewolf. And to say I got…how shall I put this? Excited?
When the werewolf's claw, was shown straight through the mouth of a victim, was a major turn on and victory for the werewolf within and onscreen.
I say that it was a victory because, it's good to see a serious werewolf depiction on screen. A hardcore one you know? None of this light and fluffy, teenage twilight, emo stuff. And none of this poorly produced CGI crap, like in Underworld Rise of the Lycans.
This is the crux of being a beast as any were-creature might tell you.
It's a duality you struggle with and eventually something's got to give. Loss of control is usually the element depicted in movies. In the case of the wolfman, I don't think it's a loss of control. Poor Larry Talbot isn't even aware of what has happened to him truly until it's too late, a sentiment shared with the original movie.
But there is no one to school him or really help him better the wolfman, or understand the wolfman's needs. So the wolfman has all the instincts of the wolf and hunter thrust upon him. Which once you survive the trauma of the initial attack that made him (a Lycan) and then the shape shift that he goes through, is to be expected.
As his father, Sir John Talbot says to him that is only rules that separate them from being beasts. And he should know.
The urge to hunt and seek prey and blood, resides in all predatory animals.
For a human to carry that, it must like be admitting acceptance to those parts of the soul that make some humans killers rather than all of us. It's something that just can't be culled out. Biological make up is what it is, it's part of the pattern of being something you're not normally.
In Larry's case perhaps, of something he's not meant to be.
He becomes the wolfman (and the make up is BRILLANT) and still retains the semblance of man or human by running around his bloody and torn clothes. Hence the title – WolfMAN not WereWOLF. He's a humanoid wolf figure who can also run around on all fours when required, like a wolf. So it's a mixture of beast and man combined.
The Wolfman incorporates elements of the duality in that sense. But it never seeks to struggle or understand either side of it. It's purely black and white.
Larry wakes up a man in bedraggled clothing with blood on his face and hands, and he roams the forests of Blackmoor as Wolfman, only seeking to kill, with no true reasoning behind it. There is no pattern in his victims, there is no reason given as to why, other than, the power of the full moon.
Yes, the moon is powerful to us werewolves. Of that there is no doubt. But we've come along way from being without all control or thought. Which is only glimpsed at the end of the wolfman movie when Gwen is being pursed by the Wolfman and begging it, by calling it Larry to not kill her.
The duality and intricacies of the Wolfman are not the true story here in this film. Which is a shame. There's far more of a psychological element argued and gone over, in the original 1941 black and white film.
The gore in the film, is gory and I loved it. It's a very pretty gothic film with some seriously great, iconic images in it. I think that's why I liked it so much. That and furry Benicio. Mmmm.
And I do have to say, that watching Benicio as the Wolfman turned me on, a hell of a lot more than watching him as the simpering, reserved, held back in his place, Larry Talbot to his exasperating father, Sir John.
This smack down, drag 'em out, knockout fight between elder and younger Talbot is one that will have kids everywhere who've ever held a little bit of animosity towards their parents, cheering on. He had it coming.
But which one?
I'm also impressed that the word werewolf was only used twice or so in the film but the references to Lycanthropy – being bit by a werewolf were far stronger, since essentially that is what really happened to Larry Talbot .
The wolfman is a lycan, so there are differences between these two beasts. In why he was so mindless and after bloodshed. As a Lycan, he's bound to feel a reoccurring sense of rage and bloodshed. It's quite common for those with Lycanthropy, to act this way.
Larry's wolfman is not a true werewolf.
I have to say that Benicio makes a great Wolfman. Therefore, I'm happy to honorary baptize him a werewolf in my eyes. You can howl at the Brooklyn moon with me anytime Benicio. ANYTIME. Just say the word.
What's the word?
Of course.
Have you ever sat though a movie marathon of monster movies, with a werewolf?
There's a theatre here in Brooklyn that's running movie marathon sessions of "monster movies". Most people bring along sleeping bags and blankets and pillows and stuff and get really comfortable to watch these sessions.
The upcoming schedule has them playing a werewolf themed sessions.
You've got Silver Bullet, Teenwolf , Cursed, Wolf and an An American Werewolf in Paris on the bill for the early session.
I've yet to figure out if the owners of the movie house are doing this deliberately or not.
Or are aware of 'goings on' around Brooklyn.
New management, so possibly, they're just naive.
Actually, now that I think about it, probably they do know what they're doing because after next week, by the look of the upcoming schedule, they're running vampire themed movies, like Lost Boys, Blade, Dracula, Day Watch and Night Watch in one session, I saw.
The midnight session we're attending has, American Werewolf in London, Underworld rise of the Lycans, Twilight New Moon and Van Helsing.
I was outvoted by my friends who wanted to go to the second showing of werewolf movies, because, I quote "Hugh Jackman is hot even if the movie he's in blows."
I told Davey I thought he had a hair fetish for Hugh Jackman's sideburns and said "You do realize Hugh Jackman is not a werewolf just because he's played a character called wolverine."
Davey told me to shut up and stop ruining his fantasy.
I questioned why any of my friends would subject themselves to the Twilight movie. As they were buying a movie marathon ticket for the full duration…luckily there are toilet breaks between movies. I might have to have one, that goes for 1 minute 80 seconds.
Again, it was Hugh Jackman to the rescue.
I was told that in order to see the three movies we wanted it would just be cheaper for us to buy full priced movie marathon tickets. I asked why we needed to see the first three movies, and was told in no uncertain terms "Classic, Kate Beckinsale in PVC – Hello, and Hugh Jackman, nuff said."
Like that explained everything I needed to know about my easily persuaded and pervy, furball friends.
Saw the movie Transformers with Conall. I think he chose it because Megan Fox was in it.
Why she was it, is clearly just to be pretty. He said I remind him of her.
Great, I think.
Does that mean I'm in competition with uber Hollywood babe or he's going to the movie cause he wants to see someone like me, doing whatever it was she was doing in that movie?
Or any of them were doing.
There was a lot of running and hiding as far s I could tell. And Megan in white. What's that about?
And while we're on the Megan Fox fashion, what's with running around a dessert in ugg boots? I'm guessing that's not the best choice of footwear for escaping big machine things.
I pointed this out to Conall and he just shrugged his shoulders and said "You'd wear those caterpiller hiking ones that we walked Lake Tahoe with right?"
And it's then that I realise, Conall's changed.
He's been paying attention to my footwear. Knows it means something to me. This is a big deal!
I was surprised.
He was just smiling, you know, what's it called when you've got your mouth closed but your smiling cause you know something, and you know the other person just got it?
Anyway, that was the highlight of our date.
Yeah, we're doing date nights again.

This weekend I discovered Nicole Hunn's Gluten Free On a Shoestring blog and got super-inspired (like staying-up-until-midnight-on-my-computer inspired). Nicole was a laid-off lawyer who turned her gluten-free baking and cooking skills (developed because her son is a celiac) into a successful blog/cookbook enterprise. Also, something funny: My boss unintentionally refers to celiacs as 'Celtics'. As in, "He can't eat wheat because he's Celtic." Do I correct her or not? Dilemma.
Anyway. Yesterday I made Nicole's Cup4Cup DIY Flour Blend and used it in her Cream Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits. I was able to find all the necessary ingredients for the flour at Woodman's Grocery for relatively inexpensive. Fortunately, I already had a scale:
Making both the flour and the biscuits in one go was time-consuming, but the results were worth it. Zach and I enjoyed the biscuits, slathered in butter and honey, with homemade chicken soup, and again this morning as egg and bacon breakfast sandwiches.
Flour Blend:
Pros. Affordable ingredients (compared to premade gluten-free flour blends). Relatively easy-to-assemble. Combines xanthan gum with flour so that it doesn't have to be added separately to recipes. Browns nicely and tastes good.
Cons. A lot ingredients, therefore a little fiddly. Not particularly nutritious.
Consensus. I will definitely use this as my go-to gluten-free flour (unless something better comes along). This is the first DIY gluten-free flour blend I have attempted, and I'm very pleased with the resulting product.
Pros. Flavor almost identical to canned biscuits (which I love). Light and flaky. Nicely browned. Quick to make. Keeps overnight well (I froze some but I haven't tried them yet).
Cons. Right out of the oven, these were gummy. They had a far better texture after they'd come to room temperature. The recipe said to roll the dough to 1/4″ thickness, but that yielded a very thin biscuit. I'm going to roll thicker next time. The assembly was also a little fussy.
Consensus. These tasted scrumptious and if they keep in the freezer well (I see no reason why they wouldn't) I plan on making them frequently.
Also – Zach and I put shelves above our sink last night!
And I bought a hanging flower basket. I'm beginning to feel at home in our little apartment – it's been a month since we moved here as of Saturday.

After my night at the MAD Blog Awards, I went to the railway station to meet my family who were coming to London. I was so excited to see them. When this gorgeous girl came running over to meet me, I couldn't stop smiling.
It was 21st September. No longer summer. She had dug into her wardrobe and come up with this beautiful 'between seasons' outfit all by herself. It was a funny combination, but I loved it. It was quirky and individual and perfect for the time of year. Although unfortunately I didn't get a decent picture her wearing the whole outfit.
The navy, short sleeved cloud dress was one of my Next bargains from last year. I'd bought it in the sale and put it away until this year when she would have grown into it.
She was wearing it with the mint green Next cardigan with the pink trim. This one was a bargain in the summer sale rather than the winter sale. The dress had green on it too, but it's a different shade of green. The dress and the cardigan really weren't made to go together.
She'd finished the outfit off with a pair of grey school tights and her pink Converse pumps.
And she looked brilliant – cool and funky, but also like a gorgeous little girl who had put her own outfit together.

Fire on the mountain
Despite having flown through the deeply punishing winds, doing a touch-and-go landing at Burbank and seeing the flames from the air, somehow until now I failed to grasp the scale of the Southern California fires. The excellent LA Times photo gallery*, however, brings home the reality. I'm reminded of the word "terriblisma"–or as we might say it now, "shock and awe." [Via]
*Opening in a new window to avoid irritating auto-resize of one's browser.
Wow, those are some amazing photos. Although I sure don't envy what you're all going through down there. There was a serious forest fire in the Okanagan region of British Columbia a couple years ago, but it doesn't seem as bad as what southern California is going through now.
As a side, have you seen the Martin Mars water bomber in action? a pair of those planes are based off Sproat Lake on Vancouver Island, and there was something in the paper last week about one of them being dispatched to California to help with the fires. I think it was going to southern California.
[I've heard of the Martin Mars, but I'd really like to see the DC-10-based tanker do its thing. –J.]
Amazing….and truly sad for all those that suffered.
can you show me where defintion of terriblisma is. I cannot find any definition online, not even on babelfish translation. Maybe it is NOT a word?
[This, maybe? –J.]

I have NO IDEA what's up with all the Canadian big boobs sex bimbos lately, but the ultimate curvy sex doll, Amy Anderssen, just introduced the incredible Ariane St-Armour on AmyAnderssen.xxx the other day.. Ariane is a huge titted fetish model from Montreal, and Amy invited her over for some girl on girl latex play.. and seeing their bodies packed in tight shiny latex outfit on HD pics/videos @ AmyAnderssen.xxx, is already something that is too hard to handle for any straight guy out there.. so once they start oiling each other up, making those outfits even more shiny, and those curvy bodies even more incredible, things get pretty fucking serious!.. but, these horny babes don't stop at just showing their big round melons or their round asses, but they go fucking nuts sucking on each others fat lips, playing with those huge bosoms and fucking enjoying each other:
pretty fucking incredible isn't it?!.. and if you think these photos are hot (they are smaller than the originals available @ AmyAnderssen.xxx), make sure you download the entire HD video of these two big boobs latextdolls playing with eachother!.. I hope Im not wrong when I say that we'll be seeing more of Ariane over @ AmyAnderssen.xxx, cause by the way she enjoyed playing with Amy's body, and being handled by her, Im pretty damn sure she will be back for more!.. as for Amy, she's adding new XXX scenes to her official website as we speak, and can be caught LIVE on webcam regularly @ AmyAnderssenCam.com!
BooB ON!!!

As with anything we have passion for, we have to keep moving forward, honing our craft to stay sharp and relevant. As a Certified Executive Chef, it is my career obligation to stay focused and get better at what I do. Doing the same thing and becoming complacent is not only bad for me personally, but bad for the industry as a whole. As chefs, we are given a gift. It's the gift of a skill that not a lot of people have. Creating something from nothing is not only an art, but a craft. Just having this ability opens up so many doors to great things. For example, the countless numbers of charity one could offer with the skills we have could change the world. Teaching someone how to cook for themselves could save a lot of lives. Cooking and being a chef could be the recipe for a lot of great things if we just went out and made a difference.
Some of the ways I try to stay fresh and relevant is to stay up on my certifications, compete with fellow chefs, go into other kitchens and offer a hand, attend my local ACF chapter meetings, cater to the masses and stay educated. Part of this important educational process is becoming an Approved Certification Evaluator or ACE. The American Culinary Federation put this into place to extend chefs professional experience to fellow chefs in the industry we love so much. It doesn't cost anything except our time and you can gain so much from it.
To become an ACE, one must apprentice under other ACE chefs four times. I've been working on this for over 3 years now and, in about a month, I will have finally met the criteria for this awesome accreditation. I did my first apprenticeship down in Charlotte, North Carolina at the beautiful Johnson and Whales campus. The other three were completed at the Cambridge location of Le Cordon Blue. I watched chefs get tested for their CEC, CCC and CEPC certifications. It was such a learning event for me. To watch passionate chefs show off their skills to get those three little letters after their names was such a blast.
Certification separates the lifers in this business to the fly-by-night cooks, or hacks as I like to call them. Those who are serious about their professions and those who are just waiting for the next best thing. Of course, you can tell the ones that actually practiced for their test (which is always suggested) to the ones who thought that the certification process was just cooking. You have to come prepared, with a written menu, following a strict criteria, practice good sanitation and a level of professionalism. Professionalism is more than just shaking hands and saying, "Yes Chef" to everyone, its about respecting the uniform, your knives and others around you. Its about respecting the ingredients and respecting the ACFs expectations of you. Sadly, there are those that don't do their homework and it shows.
So, for those of you that are thinking of becoming a chef, remember that its not, necessarily, about getting on TV or opening a restaurant, its about living to cook and cooking to live. It's about mentoring and paying it forward for the rest of your career. It's about charity and not forgetting where you came from. Most importantly, its never letting yourself get complacent or bored. A bored, unhappy or complacent chef is bad for others and even worse for the industry we spent our life perfecting.
Check out a few photos below of the certification process.
Early bird gets the worm, right? We arrived at 6:00 am to get things started.
This chef is working his fish course for the CCC exam.
Knot rolls for the CEPC exam.
Lobster course for CEC.
Nice appetizer using lobster for CEC.
This chef had great cooking technique, was well organized and flavors were amazing. Another CEC made it out into the world.
CEPC dessert (notice the home made ice cream!)

At Laurel Hill, we are always inspired by stories of people doing good in their communities. We are moved even more when we learn about young people who reach out to help others, giving compassionately from the heart. A perfect example is Samantha Hirata, a college student from Fountain View, California.
Since the age of 15, Sammy has been involved with Knots of Love, an amazing, award-winning 501c3 organization that donates knitted and crocheted caps to men and women, including veterans, undergoing chemotherapy, burn victims, brain surgery patients, head trauma patients, and individuals with Alopecia. They also donate tiny blankets to fragile new lives in incubators. For Laurel Hill, Knots of Love is our chosen non-profit, the cause we stand behind every day. And Sammy does too.
Kudos to Sammy for attaining the Gold Award, the highest achievement within the Girl Scouts of the USA, earned by Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts. Only 5.4% of eligible Girl Scouts successfully earn the Gold Award.
We could explain all that Sammy has done for Knots of Love, but we think she says it best in her own words:
"I became involved with Knots of Love when I was 15 and starting to work on my Gold Award Project for Girl Scouts. I wanted to find something that would be sustaining, and when my mom saw an article in the Register about Christine Fabiani and her organization, Knots of Love, we knew this would be a great fit.
Christine herself patiently worked with me to teach me how to knit, and I began to create caps for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
My involvement with Christine has been phenomenal! She was so excited when I contacted her about working with KOL for my Gold Award. She has always been extremely supportive, and involved every step of the way. It is really such a great experience to work with someone who is so passionate about what she does – Christine volunteers countless hours of time, energy and love, with her only expectation being that she will be able to bring comfort and love to others as they struggle through their difficulties.
KOL is important to both my mother and me since we have been able to see and experience firsthand the impact KOL has made. Thanks to Christine, we were able to actually hand deliver caps to chemotherapy patients, and to see their expressions when we presented the caps and told them they could pick out any one they wanted at no charge. The experience was priceless. They were quite surprised, and many were brought to tears over receiving the caps. Although I have completed my Gold Award, my mom and I feel the need to continue to be involved with KOL and do as much as we can to help Christine help others.
That's why even though I am away at school for a good part of the year, I try and volunteer whenever I come home, and will continue to help well into the future.
Currently, I attend San Francisco State University, majoring in Child and Adolescent Development.
When I begin my teaching career, I plan to introduce my students to KOL, and help the younger generation learn how to knit or crochet, since this seems to have gone by the wayside. Many times I hear people say, 'Oh I remember my grandmother used to knit or crochet,' but the younger generation doesn't often have these skills. Not only would it be great if they could learn, but it will be even better if they are able to touch lives in a positive way through Knots of Love."
Getting acquainted with Sammy has been a true highlight here at Laurel Hill. The future is bright when young adults are so generously giving back, creating a legacy of caring for generations to come.
Let Us Know
We are always eager to hear your comments and feedback, and your input keeps our offerings fresh and relevant. Do you knit or crochet for good causes? Please tell us about it. We would love to share your good deeds with our readers!

Clash! Hareta vs. Mitsumi!! (激突! ハレタVSミツミ!! Clash! Hareta vs. Mitsumi!!) is the 4th chapter of Volume 4 of the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga.
Hareta is still battling Mitsumi but Hareta has a hard time battling against Mitsumi, as Mitsumi is able to predict his moves. Hareta sends out more Pokémon to help him but they are quickly knocked out by Mitsumi's Pokémon. Hareta has no choice and decides to join the battle himself to win it.
Chapter plot
Hareta continues his battle with Mitsumi while Cyrus and Jupiter are still watching them. Infernape attacks Regigigas and Hareta sends out his Onix to help it out but Onix is quickly knocked out by her Leafeon. Hareta then states that Mitsumi is too quick and that she knows all his attacks, not letting his Pokémon getting any hits on hers. Jupiter can't believe that she is that powerful due to the fact that she battled Mitsumi before she left and thought they were evenly matched. Cyrus then tells Jupiter that he taught Mitsumi to use weaker Pokémon than her opponents in order to evolve them and that she is using her toughest Pokémon. Infernape uses Fire Spin and Hareta sends out his Piplup but quickly gets attacked by Leafeon's Solar Beam. Hareta is surprised that Mitsumi predicted his move and turns around to Regigigas, revealing that Regigigas is caught in Milotic's Wrap. Hareta sends out Luxio but Luxio is immediately attacked by Infernape and slams Luxio into Hareta. Infernape immediately uses Focus Blast, attacking both of them, and Mitsumi states that everything is according to her plan.
Cyrus asks if Hareta is enjoying his battle against Mitsumi and tells him that she attacks mercilessly. He also states that this is the real Mitsumi and Mitsumi confirms it herself. Hareta tells her that nothing of that matters and that she will stay the same, touching Mitsumi. Cyrus however tells Mitsumi to stay focused and that Eevee's life is in her hands, revealing the Pokémon in the cage to be Eevee. Mitsumi understands and wants to continue the battle but Hareta joins in himself. Infernape wants to attack Piplup but Hareta blocks the attacks, surprising Mitsumi, and Piplup uses Hydro Pump after he blocked all Infernape's attacks. Mitsumi orders Leafeon to use Solar Beam but Hareta grabs Piplup and jumps up, dodging the attack. Hareta throws Piplup and Piplup uses Drill Peck on Leafeon, knocking it out. Mitsumi is surprised that Hareta is knocking out her Pokémon and orders Milotic to use Aqua Tail to hit Regigigas. The Aqua Tail is however blocked by Hareta and tells Mitsumi that there is one Pokémon that she can't predict the moves from, from Hareta.
Mitsumi states that her projections is falling apart and that Hareta's wild nature is ruining her calculations. Regigigas uses Mega Punch on Milotic, knocking it out, and Hareta states that this was the best battle ever. He also states that he never knew that a battle could be this fun and thanks Mitsumi for teaching him all the cool things. Mitsumi smiles and states to herself that Hareta always smiles even awful things are thrown into his life. Mitsumi sends out two Pokémon and says that Hareta never can beat her with this attitude, starting the real battle with her Electivire and Dusknoir.

SpacePresident Dubya was awakened one night by an urgent call from the Pentagon.
President," said the four-star general, barely able to contain himself, "there's good news & bad news." "Oh, no," muttered the President, "Well, let me have the bad news first." "The bad news, sir, is that we've been invaded by creatures from another planet." "Gosh, and the good news?" "The good news, sir, is that they eat reporters and pee oil."

It is our pleasure to announce the release of the 2008 Vintage of PROMISE Cabernet Sauvignon.
Calistoga, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/05/2012 -- Everyone in the PROMISE Family is grateful for all of your overwhelming support on our amazing journey thus far. PROMISE Wine & Winery is truly a physical manifestation of a life long dream. This wine is the result of a commitment I made to my amazing wife Jennifer to pursue my love of wine and the extraordinary friendship of Rich Frank that has allowed us to together realize this dream.
PROMISE Wines are truly the physical manifestation of a lifelong dream. When we started this passion project almost a decade ago our goal was to make the very best artisan wine we could from this esteemed terroir, considered by many to be an American "First Growth" planting. With great reverence we aspire to someday be recognized along side the renowned First Growths of Bordeaux as well as the much sought after California Cult Cabernets of Napa. We have a great respect for the work that entails and remain passionate in this pursuit. It has been a wonderful ride thus far and on behalf of everyone in the PROMISE Family, we are deeply grateful to all those who have helped us on the journey. We feel like we are still just getting started.
This Years Release : Promise 2008 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is our fifth vintage and was produced from 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot from the Winston Hill Vineyard, in Rutherford, Napa Valley and was harvested between September 10th – 16th, 2008. The wine was allowed to sit quietly in 100% New French Oak Barrels until July 2011 and has been bottle-aged since then. The 2008 Promise Cabernet Sauvignon displays dense dark purple hues and magenta tones as it travels to the rim. The gorgeous nose emerges from the glass with warm and spicy aromas of leather, musk and tobacco combined with blackberry, crème de cassis and licorice, capturing an elegant and sophisticated example of a Rutherford Cabernet from the Napa Valley. The attack is full with exceptional concentration and structure. Rich dark berries and brown sugar flavors play nicely with the soft, almost velvety tannins, saturating the palate in this expressive wine.

A judge today denied bail for a Country Club Hills man charged with fatally shooting his sister and brother-in-law in a dispute over a home they had inherited.
The bond hearing was held Wednesday in Cook County Central Bond Court in Chicago, because the defendant, 50-year-old Kenneth Rhodes, is the brother of Cook County Judge James L. Rhodes, who sits in the county's branch courthouse in south suburban Markham.
Prosecutors said one of Rhodes' victims, his brother-in-law, Nathaniel Bracy, was on the phone last Friday as Rhodes shot him and Rhodes' sister, Pauline Betts-Bracy around 9 p.m. inside a condominium in the 19300 block of Oakwood Avenue.
The caller on the other end of the line called police after she heard gurgling sounds from Bracy and the line went dead, court records state.
When police arrived, they found Bracy and Betts-Bracy bleeding from multiple gunshot wounds. Both died of their injuries, the Cook County Medical Examiner said.
Earlier that day, a witness said they drove Rhodes from the condo, where he had lived with Bracy and Betts-Bracy.
Rhodes and his sister had recently inherited the condo from their deceased mother, records state, and the witness said Rhodes was "very angry and agitated" after having a verbal argument with his sister about the condo.
During the drive, the witness overheard Rhodes tell someone on his cell phone, "I'm going to need a ride tonight, don't ask any questions," according to court documents. "If I can't have this house, no one can."
Later that day, investigators learned Rhodes had gone to a residence in Maywood and retrieved a .357 Smith & Wesson revolver he kept there.
Rhodes' cell phone records show he was in the area of the murder scene from 8 to 9:15 p.m., and a witness at the Maywood residence said Rhodes returned there with the gun around 10:30 p.m.
"He gave the gun to a witness and said 'I got two bodies on it,'" court records state.
Police continued monitoring Rhodes' cell phone and were able to arrest him near the residence, where they recovered the gun.
The clothing Rhodes was wearing at the time of his arrest showed traces of gunpowder and his sister's blood, court records state.

Who came up with the word "walkie-talkie?" And why did we allow him to pick that name instead of setting him down for his afternoon nap, as he was clearly a toddler to pick such a stupid name for a high tech device?
Don't you think the inventor of the walkie-talkie is pissed off that everyone calls his creation that? I picture these two conversations being pivotal to the naming of these devices, and the hell their inventor has been through since:
Inventor, to his "special needs" friend: "Look what I invented: Portable radio communicators! With these port-comms, if you were walking over there, we could still talk."
Special Needs Friend, (picks one up, starts pantomiming) "Walkie-Talkie. Walkie-Talkie."
Inventor: "Seriously, these port-comms are a going to change how we live! Think of the applications!"
Special Needs Friend: "Walkie-Talkie. Walkie-Talkie."
Inventor: "You're retarded."
US Army General: "We want to make you rich by issuing these to all our men, and police, firemen, etc. What do you call them?"
Special Needs Friend, still playing with one: "Walkie-Talkie!"
US Army General: "Let's get these Walkie-Talkies in the field to all our soldiers immediately! It's a new era now, the Walkie-Talkie era!"
Inventor: "Dammit, Special Needs Friend!"

What's Next: Transportation
In the last 50 years, U.S. transportation policy has been overwhelmingly focused on highway construction. Funding was so automobile-centric that it wasn't until the 1990s—when Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan established a new "80/20" spending formula—that mass transit was seriously included in appropriations bills. Congress is currently working on a new appropriations bill that will have crucial implications on that spending. "Transportation investment drives development," says John Norquist, president of the Congress of New Urbanists. "The cities that have invested in the traditional urban grid and good transit are doing really well. You'd think that would be reflected in federal policy, but it's not." Here Norquist, former mayor of Milwaukee, discusses slower roads, better streets, and the lure of mass transit.
ONE year:
"Unfortunately, that eighty-twenty split is unlikely to change [in transit's favor] in the short run. It will change slightly in five years as states begin to apply value, instead of traffic reduction, as a measure for projects. Defeating congestion is the wrong goal. All the high-value locations are both urban and congested—congested with not only traffic but with money, people, great food, art, and music." —J.N.
FIVE years:
"Right now, the federal government and local DOTs spend most of the road and highway money on the giant stuff. The system is based on maximum speed at off-peak hours. Transportation engineers don't know how to build anything at the lower scale, even though all of the real estate value is in street blocks. But I think we're going to win here. Why? Because the water conservationists won. If you look at water engineering fifty years ago, they were draining every wetland they could get their hands on, channelizing streams, creating giant structures. They now know that's wrong. The accepted practice has changed. If you look at roads and streets in urban areas, the street grid is the wetland. It supports complex forms of life. It absorbs traffic, like a wetland absorbs water. I think there's going to be that 'Aha!' moment when, suddenly, the transportation field changes." —J.N.
TEN years:
"Transit will be more of a middle-class, upper-middle-class urban amenity. It won't be perceived as just something for poor people anymore. The demographics of the United States are changing. There are a lot more single-person, small, and childless households. These are arrangements that tend to produce apartments, condos, and town houses, which are easier to load with transit. So I think the future is going to be more urban and more compact suburban." —J.N.

2018 World Cup – the digital dimension
So after what feels like years of campaigning, the hosts for the 2018 football World Cup will be announced this afternoon in Zurich.
Given that voting rests with the 22 men of the FIFA Executive Committee, you'd think that wide-scale marketing doesn't have a large part to play in bid success or failure. But aside from glad-handing the FIFA dignitaries on a one-to-one basis, building a long-term marketing campaign that reflects brand values is going to be essential to the winner.
Witness the incredible effort that has gone into the digital side of the England bid. Designed to provide an opportunity for fans around the world to show their support and interact with the bid, it is integral to the bid premise "England United, the World Invited". I'd say the stats alone show it has done an amazing job – over 300,000 fans from 170 countries have joined its Facebook group, 2.2 million have registered their support and 6,000 follow the bid on Twitter. And that's ignoring the downloadable iPhone app, wallpapers, YouTube channel et al.
It really delivers on the key aim of showing FIFA the depth of support for England's bid both at home and around the world. Let's hope that at 3pm today, all England's efforts, on- and offline, will be rewarded…………

knock something on the head
knock (someone or something) on the head
1. Literally, to bump or strike someone on the head, either accidentally or intentionally. That book knocked me on the head when it fell off the shelf. Quit messing with me or I'll knock you on the head!
2. To promptly prevent something, especially an idea, suggestion, or plan, from being developed, proliferated, or carried out. Primarily heard in UK. We need to knock this notion of forming a union on the head before it gets too far. He's been trying to knock the rumours on the head, but by now nearly everyone has heard them.
3. To stop (doing) an activity or behavior. Primarily heard in UK. You need to knock that smoking on the head before the baby arrives. I briefly got into computer programming, but I knocked it on the head when things got more complicated.
knock something on the headBRITISH, INFORMAL
1. If you knock a story or idea on the head, you show that it is not true or correct. It's time to knock on the head the idea that we are not living a full life unless we have that special somebody in our lives. This is another fallacy that needs to be knocked on the head, the idea that women never went out to work till the First World War.
2. If you knock an activity on the head, you stop doing it, or decide not to do it. We'll never be like The Rolling Stones. When we stop enjoying ourselves, we'll knock it on the head.
