The headline in Tuesday's News-Sentinel stated that we needed the rain, but that it might be too much, too fast. Monday's rain was the first we had seen in 25 days, according to the paper. It was brought to us courtesy of Tropical Storm Fay, a storm that left 11 people dead in Florida. A storm that had brought death and destruction a few days ago in Florida, now fell gently on dry and dusty hills in East Tennessee. What we desperately needed, they would have surely done without. Seems odd in a way — someone else's storm becoming our gift.
We passed the 80 year mark on the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. In the years leading up to the passage of this amendment, quite a storm was created by the very idea of allowing women to vote. At the time, they were thought to be too frail to endure the rigors of going to the polls. Mark Twain may have gotten more to the point in his 1867 letter to a St. Louis newspaper.
Not much changed for women as a result of the passage of the 19th Amendment. They could vote. So what. The passage of the amendment took from them the cause that had served as their rallying cry. Not until Rosie the Riveter made her way into the factories would women be appreciated for their abilities beyond the domestic sphere. Rosie, and perhaps even the ladies of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, caused at least some people to see women in a different light. Perhaps most importantly, some women saw themselves in a different way as a result of the opportunities that necessity had brought their way.
* Real annual earnings for women have fallen the last four years.
* Progress continues to slow in narrowing the wage gap between men and women.
* A U.S. Supreme Court decision last year made it even more difficult for women to gain pay discrimination relief in the courts.
* Congress recently cut child support enforcement by 20 percent. Women and their children will pay for that cost-cutting measure.
* Of course, this list could be much longer.
No, justice is still denied women in all sorts of ways in our country and in our world. We in the church are in many ways the chief culprits in denying opportunities to women. There was a big buzz in Texas last weekend because the Irving Bible Church decided to let a woman preach. The church's elders spent 18 months studying the issue that resulted in a 24-page position paper and invitation to Ms. Jackie Reese to fill the pulpit on Sunday morning.
A woman in the pulpit of a Bible church is no small thing. Churches with Bible in their name tend to be conservative both theologically and socially. Irving Bible Church is to be commended for listening to the Scriptures and acting on what they heard.
That a woman preaching in a pulpit in Texas is a newsworthy matter for the Dallas papers, serves to indicate how much the church has allowed cultural stereotypes and societal norms to determine how we read and understand Scripture. All too often we go to Scripture with our preconceived notions and, not surprisingly, we find support for our ideas. This is not letting the Bible guide the way we live our lives. It is our opinions of how life ought to be that guide our reading of the Bible.
Ironically, I know of few people who have not had a woman teach them something about the Bible that they did not already know. In the same way, I do not know many folks who have not heard a word spoken by a woman that did not add to their wisdom or did not give them encouragement for living. God has used women in all of our lives to speak God's truth and to show us God's love.
So what will come of this rain falling now as the storms of bygone days are finally spent? Will it fall too fast and quickly run off, unable to penetrate the drought hardened ground? Even now, at this late hour, will it be too much too fast? Or will the thirsty ground soak up what it has been without for too long?
Will we recognize that God has poured out God's spirit upon all flesh so that our sons and our daughters shall prophesy (preach)?

Glad you are now sharing your thoughts in the blogosphere!


Let's face it, there are tons of blogs that talk about web standards and few that talk about design. It's either that or I'm just missing them all. Talking about standards is great, and it needs to be done, but I for one would love to see a few of the prominent designers talk more about design. As someone who has had no formal training in design and have just picked up what I can by teaching myself, I'd love to hear the techniques people use to get things done. While I'm no Eric Meyer or Dan Cederholm, I'd say my area of expertise lies with XHTML and CSS, with design further down the line. I'm certain that I do things the hard way because I don't know the easy way.
Cameron Moll's Authentic Boredom, and the recently re-discovered Sam Royama's DesignDojo (who hasn't posted for an eternity) are two blogs that seem to talk predominantly about design. There are others who talk about it every now and then, but there don't seem to be many bloggers who focus on design. Cameron's Wicked Worn series was a huge help when I attempted to create the weathered look for my Scobleizer redesign (WIP).
Interesting to see that there's an interest in design-blogs. I'll sooner or later start up my own blog that will cover both Design and Web (and perhaps some other interesting things as well). If you want to I can send you an email when it's up and running (if I decide to do it in both Swedish and English as I don't think you're interested in a Swedish-only blog ;) ).
Yep, definitely send me an email if you do an English version so I can check it out.
I like Mark Simonson's Notebook and Design Observer. I think there just seem to be more web standards blogs to you because you're swimming in the web standards pond; once you start getting more design-blog recommendations from your readers I think you'll find many of those, as well.
I think my blog focuses alot more on Design than web standards or coding, I myself don't know too much about PHP, I can setup a blog but it won't be very complex. Another blog that is focused alot more on design is Kartooner.
I think my blog focuses more on design as well. I do have a lot of rants and raves on there, but the web side of it is definately more on design than on standards. Other than the large ones though I don't really know of others.
Thanks Scott for the recommendation. My site, while containing several pop culture references, is at its core a design-oriented blog and will be even more so now that college is started up again. I love sharing observations, methodology, and theories on design.
Web standards have a wider audience. For instance, I'm 100% programmer, but since I have to deal with web front-ends I'm havily into web standards and from there on I started thinking about design too.
My point? Designers do design, while a lot MORE people do web coding. So yeah, you're right... try compiling a list and share it with the world!
I share your thoughts on this Ryan, there needs to be a little more chat about visual design, especially web design.
DesignDojo has kinda fallen between the cracks at the moment - work has me swamped and I'm going to be a father for the first time in less than a month. So life has been keeping me busy. I plan to get back to the Dojo within a month or so.
Gabriel - I'm not strictly talking about web designer's blogs. I'd be just as happy to read graphic/print designer's blogs, as I'm sure they'd have plenty of valuable information to share. There are going to be plenty of people who are designers first, and web developers second. I just need to find these people.
Sam - Congratulations on the coming baby! Very exciting. :) I'll be looking forward to the Dojo coming back - already added it to my blo.gs watch list and blogroll.
Speak-up is a premium graphic designer's blog - more on the traditional side of design.
Kevin Pott's Graphic Push is a nice lil' site as well. Mostly design related posts.
Netdiver is also a decent read. The main page has all sorts of design news mix in with the links and features.
Michael Kovalchick's Graphically Speaking is a good design-related blog.
Oops. Sorry, forgot the autolink feature. Please fix and delete this comment if you want.
"Oops. Sorry, forgot the autolink feature. Please fix and delete this comment if you want."
Kartooner, thanks for the good word. I started Graphically Speaking with a focus on design only. However it was a bit too sterile, so now I mix in some personal articles for a bit of flava.
I'm going to recommend The Man in Blue's blog. He's got some interesting design oriented articles, so check it out.
Mike: Yeah man, no problem.
As far as solely focusing on one topic, it's difficult. Unless you set up a variety of blogs dealing with different topics specifically, any site will be a mish mash of different subject matter.
I try to drive my thoughts towards creativity and imagination (my two favorite subjects), but even then there are times when I'll post articles dealing with something entirely different.
The use of categories and filtration in your archives allows people to view what they want, so it's a win-win situation.
Great blog the xBlog Lite ( downloded and work in it rigth now) but i try to translate to PT BR, but is a hard way for me thru the PHP codes (newbie yet but expert soon i hope). If you help me i apreciate.
Sory about my poor english.
I know this is a little late, but have you ever heard of http://boxesandarrows.com/ ?
I see that it's long time since someone last posted here but anyway, I started very recently so I wish I found this earlyer. I started kvery recently but there are several posts on my Journal you can look at. The last one is in the category I intend to continue with, and work on.
It has more than designers as photography, marketing, etc overlap in places.

NYC School Arrests: 96 Percent Of Students Arrested By NYPD In 2011 Were Black Or Latino
96% Of Students Arrested In NYC Schools Are Black Or Latino
Editor, HuffPost New York
A new report conducted by the NYCLU and released on Monday reveals the NYPD arrested 882 students in 2011.
Ninety-six percent of students arrested were either black or Latino. 74 percent of those arrested were male.
An average of four students are arrested and seven summoned each day over the course of the 216 high school and 209 middle school days.
NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman said in a statement:
We've now collected a year's worth of data demonstrating how the impact of heavy-handed policing in city schools falls squarely on the shoulders of black students and young men, who are being subjected to a disproportionate number of arrests at school. If the Bloomberg administration is serious about helping young men of color succeed, then it must address these disparities and focus more resources on educating children, not arresting them.
The NYCLU's study is the result of the newly enacted Student Safety Act which requires the police department to report arrests and student encounters to the City Council on a quarterly basis.
The data also shows nearly 48 percent of all arrests taking place in Bronx schools.
While the civil liberties group suggests many of the arrests stem from petty violations including "writing on desks and horseplay," a spokesman for the NYPD said otherwise.
The department's chief spokesman Paul Browne said, "They would often like to portray them as simple spats between schoolchildren. But, unfortunately, that is not often the case. It can involve serious assaults, with weapons, and including sexual assaults and including serious crimes."
The startling numbers echo the department's controversial stop-and-frisk policy which many say overwhelmingly targets black and latino males.
The New York Times recently featured a profile on an 18-year old black male who opened up about overcoming the painful experience of being stop-and-frisked over 60 times in his young life.
Tyquan Brehon spoke candidly about his encounters with police and said, "When you're young and you're black, no matter how you look, you fit the description."
In March, an analysis of federal data showed minority students across the nation to have less access to advanced courses. Black students were also found to be three and a half times as likely as white students to be either suspended or expelled.
Salaries for teachers in schools with high populations of minority students were also notably less. See more national statistics below:

Your search is over! You have found the best movers in Oregon!
Oregon is a Pacific Northwest U. S. state, with a breezy Pacific coastline, volcanic mountains, and lots of bodies of water west of the Cascades, part of the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire. US 101, known for its resorts, beaches, and parks, runs along the rainy, mountainous, Douglas Fir-lined coast. The state's northern border, the mouth of the Columbia River, meets the coast and leads inland, paralleled by a route passing scenic waterfalls. Oregon is well-known for both its wild, natural beauty and its charming urban communities. The Beaver State's only national park is Crater Lake National Park, the remnants of a destroyed volcano and the deepest lake in America.
One-fourth of the country's total llama population resides in this state. There are no sales, liquor, or restaurant taxes in Oregon, and it is the only U. S. state to have a two-sided flag design. Being a coastal state, Oregon generally experiences mild weather, but most of the state is prone to snowfall in the winter months. In the summer, the sands of the coast glow as a result of tiny bioluminescent phytoplankton called dinoflagellates washing ashore. Some notable people from Oregon include River Phoenix, Beverly Cleary, Courtney Love, and Matt Groening, the creator behind The Simpson and Futurama.
"Keep Portland Weird," is the unofficial slogan of the largest city in the state. Portland took its name from Portland, Maine in a coin toss where the other option was Boston. The city is a cultural center for music and arts. The punk venue where it was believed Nirvana front man, Kurt Cobain, met Courtney Love once stood in Portland before it was demolished in 2011. The city has a high volume of movie theaters that serve beer and one of the highest per capita concentrations of breweries. The first wiki website was created in Portland in 1994. The city has over 70 food cart and truck vendors, making it a good destination for street food. Contact your nearest Allied Van Lines or simply complete our form for a free quote today.

I guess the question on everybody's mind now is will Endgame be able to dethrone Avatar as the undisputed box office champion? For comparison the previous record, held by last year's Avengers: Infinity War, was $640 million.
Overall, Endgame is still behind Avatar's $2.78 billion grand total, but is now ahead of Titanic ($2.18 billion), Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($2.06 billion), and Avengers: Infinity War ($2.04 billion).
Now, MCU fans are hoping that Endgame further goes and crushes another James Cameron-directorial titled Avatar, which is currently the highest-grossing movie, after the filmmaker said he hopes "we'll start getting Avenger fatigue here pretty soon". It trails only Avatar's $2.788 billion, but Avengers: Endgame has plenty of time left in theaters.
Repeat viewings from comic-book enthusiasts, as well as premium formats like Imax and 3D have helped box office receipts reach extraordinary heights. The conclusion of the 22-film arc has been a goliath at the box office, taking in over $1.2 billion dollars during its opening weekend.
More news: British PM dismisses defense secretary due to security leakage - PM's office
What do you think about Anthony Russo's comments about Tom Hiddleston's Loki possibly still being alive after the events of Avengers: Endgame?
Sony's psychological thriller The Intruder came in second, at US$11 million. Next weekend, Detective Pikachu will be Endgame's latest challenger. The film starring Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen mustered up $10 million, which is a bit of a disappointment for the best reviewed new release of the weekend, though it did only land a "B" CinemaScore. But even the draw of chart-topping musical artists like Kelly Clarkson, Joe Jonas, Bebe Rexha, Lizzo, Pitbull, and Blake Shelton wasn't enough to get people interested in the movie.
In fifth place, hanging strong in its ninth week out, was Disney's Captain Marvel, at US$4.3 million. The superhero tentpole, starring Brie Larson, has earned $420 million in North America and $1.12 billion globally. Hollywood is banking on a number of summer hits, including "The Lion King", "Toy Story 4", and "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw" to help close that gap.

Disneyland/Walt Disney World/Tokyo
Guests enter this octagonal room from the Foyer as the Ghost Host welcomes them. Four paintings, flanked by candle-wielding gargoyles, hang from the walls in this chamber, which are said to be "guests as they appeared in their corruptible mortal states." As the Ghost Host continues, the door through which guests enter slides closed and the room seemingly stretches upwards, the paintings on the walls elongating with it to reveal a comically gruesome end for each subject:
A bearded gentleman holding a document is revealed to be wearing only his undergarments from the waist down and standing atop a lit keg of dynamite.
A pretty young lady holding a parasol is revealed to be balancing on a fraying tightrope above the gaping jaws of an alligator.
An old woman holding a rose is revealed to be sitting atop a tall gravestone, at the bottom of which is a stone bust of her husband George with a hatchet embedded in his head.
A man in a bowler hat is revealed to be sitting on the shoulders of another man who sits on the shoulders of a third man who is waist deep in quicksand.
"...And consider this dismaying observation: this chamber has no windows and no doors... which offers you this chilling challenge: to find a way out! A-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!! Of course, there's always my way..."
At this point the lights go out and lightning flashes above. The ceiling vanishes and gives a view of the mansion's cupola, where the skeletal corpse of the Ghost Host sways from a noose tied to the rafters. After a few seconds, the room becomes pitch black and a dreadful scream is heard, followed by the sound of bones shattering.
When the lights come back up, the ceiling has returned to normal. Another panel slides open, letting guests exit into the Portrait Corridor.
Phantom Manor
Guests file into an octagonal room with four portraits of a young Melanie Ravenswood. The Phantom comments on the paintings, and asks guests if they have noticed that the walls are stretching. The room actually appears to stretch, and the portraits grow taller — revealing some haunting situations the young girl is in, including:
Picking flowers above a gravestone where a skeleton emerges from the ground.
Holding a parasol while in a boat above a vertical waterfall.
Stepping through a stream as a water monster reaches for her foot.
Having a picnic with her fiancé as ants raid their food and a snake, scorpion, spider and beetle approach.
After the Phantom offers a challenge of finding a way out (to which he adds that there's always his way) the ceiling turns invisible in a flash of lightning, revealing the Phantom emerging from a secret panel high above in the cupola, holding on to the rope he used to hang the groom from the rafters as he laughs sinisterly.
The new Stretching Room portraits are all of Mélanie and her former suitors who were all killed by her father Henry. These portraits utilize digital effects to not only make the Portraits stretch, but to also make Mélanie disappear from the portraits, leaving the men alone to their eternal fates.
Barry Claude: A man who was chased up a tree by a bear and her cub then mauled to death shortly after.
Captain Rowan D. Falls: A steamboat captain who was sent off a waterfall in a rowboat. His portrait reuses the perspective from the original painting of Mélanie in a row-boat.
Sawyer Bottom: A suitor of Mélanie's who Henry murdered with an industrial buzz saw made for lumber.
Ignatius "Iggy" Knight: A man who was blown up by a ludicrous amount of explosives set by Henry. His portrait mirrors the Dynamite Guy portrait.
And as the ceiling vanished they only see Phantom can be seen, noose in hand. The groom is never seen again.
Haunted Mansion Holiday
The Stretching Room portraits are changed to "Twas the Night Before Christmas" style portraits in stained glass, and the ceiling appears as a green wreath with a yellow bow surrounding a blue area. As the lights go out, the Ghost Host says a dark version of the "Twas the Night Before Christmas" poem, the glass "shatters", and portraits of Halloween Town's version of Christmas are revealed underneath:
The outside of a house decorated for Christmas changes to Jack Skellington as "Sandy Claws" with lots of ghosts behind him.
The Christmas tree with presents underneath changes to a massive, carnivorous snake.
The stockings in front of a fireplace changes to the evil toys emerging from Jack's sack.
The children sleeping in their bed changes to a large monster wreath.
Also, the wreath goes dark indigo as well as the glass, and the bow turns orange. Once the Ghost Host finishes speaking, the wreath "shatters" into a Jack-o-Lantern face, before completely breaking to reveal Jack Skellington leaning forward in his "Sandy Claws" outfit with his ghost dog Zero in the cupola, obscuring the Ghost Host's hanging corpse.
Jack says "Happy Holidays, everyone!" to the guests before he cackles and vanishes into the darkness, accompanied by the same scream from the regular Haunted Mansion, and then the bone shattering noise is heard after the room goes black and the ceiling flashes in the style of the Jack-o-Lantern face from earlier. When the lights come back on, the only trace of Jack and Zero are the shattered glass, the cupola, and its hanging occupant.
These portraits are actually placed overtop of the normal Stretching Room paintings as they are difficult to remove and reintegrate.
Portrait Character Identifications
In 2006, the character of the Black Widow was made a composite character with the Attic Bride who was rewritten to have a definitive backstory in which she was a murderess named Constance Hatchaway who had married and murdered a total of five men for their wealth and status.
The Groom whose tombstone Constance is resting on was canonically identified as Constance's fifth husband George Hightower, who shares his last name with the Disney Parks character Harrison Hightower III, implying that they are likely related.
The Tightrope Walker's name is canonically Sally Slater. It was revealed in 2011 with the refurbishment of Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion queue where there is a poetess ghost named Prudence Pock who has a poem which reads, "In the swamp, poor Sally Slater was eaten by an alligator." This was officially identified with the Tightrope Walker in the Ghost Post interactive game where she was played by voice actress Hynden Walch.
Original Script
In deleted Ghost Host dialogue, the dynamite guy was identified as Ambassador Alexander Nitrokoff, "an anarchist who came to us with a bang one night".
In the same 1968 script, the Black Widow, who has since become Constance Hatchaway, was given the name Widow Abigaile Patecleaver "who was preceded by her husband."
The Ghost Gallery
The Ghost Gallery was an unofficial backstory made for the Haunted Mansion which was created by Walt Disney World cast members and which has since influenced several elements of the official and semi-official lore.
The Dynamite Gentleman: This character was given the name of Ambassador Edward Gracey, a wealthy diplomat in Burma who was the paternal uncle to the mansion's Ghost Host (made into a composite character with Master Gracey), George Gracey Jr. Edward died during a revolutionary attack in Rangoon where the embassy he was in got blown up.
The Tightrope Walker: The Tightrope Walker is given the name of Mistress Lillian Gracey (née O'Malley) and is identified as the Ghost Host's first wife. Lillian was born into a wealthy and doting family but ran away from home at the age of 15 to pursue a relationship with her true love, who was a circus performer. Before she could reunite with him, Lillian's lover died in a freak accident involving a lion and Lillian joined the circus as a tightrope walker as it made her feel closer to her lost love. Despite still being consumed by grief, Lillian married the wealthy George Gracey Jr. only for him to frequently cheat on her with his clairvoyant Madame Leota who killed Lillian out of jealousy by convincing the woman to do a tightrope act for the family then summoning an alligator to kill her.
The Black Widow: The black widow was made into the Ghost Host's mother Mary Gracey née Gilbert who was manipulated into marrying his father George Gracey Sr., who was a lackluster lover and absent husband that left his wife to effectively be a single parent. Eventually Mary sent George Jr. away to Yale and George Sr. returned to their home. George Sr. revealed to Mary that he had cheated on her with a woman named Mrs. Patterson, which Mary happily took as an opportunity to murder her husband with a hatchet and legally get away with it by claiming it was a crime of passion. Using her inheritance, Mary fled the country to never be heard from again, leaving George Jr. as the new master of the Gracey Estate.
The Quicksand Men: Each of the three quicksand men in this story is revealed to be an illegitimate member of the Gracey Family who was kept around as a servant by the Ghost Host but who prior to that worked as a cast member at the same circus as Lillian O'Malley. The man on top was the mansion's liveryman Daniel Patterson and was the illegitimate half-brother of the Ghost Host, born to the Host's late father and his mistress. The man in the middle was mansion handyman Asa Gilbert who was the half-brother of the Ghost Host's mother, the Black Widow, who had chased him away with death threats. The man at the bottom was mansion gardner Eddie Foster, the illegitimate son of the Ghost Host's uncle Ambassador Edward Gracey. All three men were in love with Mistress Gracey and after her death they all became melancholy. George Jr.'s illegitimate daughter with Madame Leota, Little Leota, attempted to seduce the men, but after they rebuked her affections she tricked them into getting trapped in the mansion's "quicksand" pit where they all died.
SLG Comics
Tightrope Walker: The tightrope walker is given the name Daisy de la Cruz (a name which was once used for Meet & Greets). Daisy was a sorceress who worked as a tightrope walker at a travelling circus which got stranded in the Bayous of New Orleans. She used her beauty and grace to seduce men and lure them away to exploit them for their gifts and money only to use magic to transform them into pet alligators to use in her act. It is implied that her death was caused by the alligators seeking revenge.
Dynamite Gentleman: In the story A Dynamite Party, the character is named Steven who was a wild eccentric in New Orleans who got invited to a party at Gracey Manor which he accidentally forgot both his glasses and pants while travelling to. At the party, while looking for the food pantry, he unknowingly stumbled upon a food pantry where he lit a fuse, believing it to be a candle.
Quicksand Men: The three quicksand men here are presented as gamblers named Big Hobbs, Hobbs and Skinny Hobbs who were chased out to the bayou behind Gracey Manor where they played a game of cards to determine who would carry whom across the quicksand, which they believed was simply mud.
The Haunted Mansion (video game)
In the video game, the Stretching Room is a secret elevator that serves as the entrance to the Vault of Shadows. Zeke accesses it using the Seaman's ring to open a panel hidden behind a portrait of Atticus Thorn. Once Zeke is inside, the room stretches and reveals the door to the Vault of Shadows, which can only be opened once the player has obtained all 999 souls.
Variants of the Stretching Room portraits appear in the video-game Epic Mickey within the Haunted Mansion analogue of Lonesome Manor. The portraits are massive and attached to rotating pieces that need to be aligned by the player through the protagonist Mickey in-order to progress. Of the three portraits there are:
An elderly and overweight woman modelled after Constance Hatchaway, sitting atop a tombstone with the Singing Busts at the bottom, glaring at her. The names of the busts are all stated on the tombstones.
Colonial safari-explorers standing atop one-another's shoulders as they sink into a piranha-infested river.
A variant of the TNT-man portrait although the man is much slimmer and almost resembles Abraham Lincoln.
A popular gimmick in Disney Parks merchandise is to parody the stretching room portraits with other Disney characters.
Goofy dressed as the orator, standing atop the lit keg of dynamite.
Mickey, Donald and Goofy dressed as the three men as they sink into quicksand.
Minnie Mouse dressed as the tightrope walker, standing on a tightrope over the gaping jaws of the crocodile from Peter Pan (1953).
Daisy Duck dressed as the black widow, sitting atop Donald Duck's tombstone.
Oogie Boogie on a barrel of worms.
Boogie's Boys (Lock, Shock and Barrel) sinking in the quicksand.
Sally on a tightrope above a giant snake.
Jack atop his ghost dog Zero's tombstone.
Captain Hook on a tightrope above the Crocodile from Peter Pan.
The Queen of Hearts standing atop a barrel of red paint beside her red painted roses with the Cheshire Cat smiling below due to a red paw print on her dress.
Cruella DeVille sitting atop the shoulders of her henchmen Horace & Jasper as they sink into quicksand.
Maleficent with her pet raven Diablo sitting atop the tombstone of a henchman who failed her.
This was a line of pins for the pre-2018 Phantom Manor which featured Tinkerbell from Peter Pan (1953) in the original portraits of the attraction, replacing Mélanie Ravenswood.
Tinkerbell standing, ankle-deep in a river as Stitch from Lilo and Stitch (2002) approaches her from under the water.
Tinkerbell standing with a bouquet as a corpse rising from a grave on the other side.
Tinkerbell in a rowboat about to drop over a steep waterfall.
Tinkerbell having a picnic with Stitch (replacing Jake) as pests approach.
In the Disneyland original, as well as Phantom Manor, the Stretching Room is actually a cleverly disguised elevator designed to take guests down so they can pass through a corridor that takes them to a separate show building. The scene became so iconic that it remained in later versions of the attraction, though in these the floor does not move down at all and the ceiling simply moves upward, taking the walls with it.
The Stretching Room is referenced in the prologue of the 2003 film when Edward Gracey hangs himself in the cupola and a woman's scream is heard.
In Disneyland a tribute can be found to the stretching room on Main Street U.S.A. as outside of the Penny Arcade there is a fortune-teller machine with a fortune teller named "Esmeralda" whose cards feature the stretching room portraits on them.
Prior to 2013, the Haunted Mansion Holiday version featured a giant static version of Jack's face in place of the Ghost Host's hanging body.

Experience the adventure and romantic mystique of the authentic African safari of centuries past. Gorah Elephant Camp is a luxurious tented camp, with a gracious manor house overlooking a waterhole teaming with game in the heart of the Addo National Park.
The 5 000 hectare private concession is located deep in the heart of the Addo Elephant National Park, 70km north-east of the Eastern Cape coastal city of Port Elizabeth, the nearest centre with a major airport. With sweeping views, indigenous fauna and the densest population of elephants in the world, Gorah epitomises the safari experience, steeped in history, tradition and opulence.
For over 250 000 years ago, people had been visiting this place for different reasons. All have been enchanted, enthralled and captivated by the beauty and energy that permeates from the land that is Gorah. Early Stone Age transcended into Middle and then to Later Stone Age.
The indigenous tribes relied on the water which became known as 'de Goras' or the natural spring, and created a sense of place, mystery and spiritual presence to the area.
Colonial settlers moved in, changing the landscape, and the history, while the characters played out the drama of the typical Eastern Cape bushveld or "fynbos veld". There was love, sorrow, and tragedy here, but above all, the peace and guardianship lived on, and never changed.
The Anglo-Boer war brought change. After that war, the farm was handed down, and Gorah was left to ruin to great sadness. A few people got together to rise above the rubble and have the old farm incorporated into the expanding Addo Elephant National Park.
Gorah was saved again by those men who saw its true potential – and from the ruins rose one of the most beautiful camps ever created in South Africa.
The gracious Gorah Manor House, a National Monument built in 1856, immaculately restored and period furnished, recalls the opulence and romance of the noble safari.
Lazy colonial verandas spill out onto the African plains overlooking the waterhole, and eleven luxury-tented suites with thatched canopies, comfortable king size beds and private terraces, all en-suite, perch over the panoramic landscape. Personalised, warm and unobtrusive service with meticulous attention to detail – hallmarks of Hunter's properties – is of the highest standard.
Sheltered under thatched canopies, Gorah's 11 tented suites are luxurious and spacious, recalling the golden era of safari in the early 1900s.
Each is enhanced with the fine comforts and excellence associated with Hunter Hotels.Each lavish tent has its own private deck offering a panoramic view of the endless savannah plains. The plush interior of the tent is enhanced through the simplicity and the authenticity of solar power lighting and ceiling fans.
The en suite bathroom with bespoke vanities and shower is discreetly situated to allow for complete privacy.
To complete the experience the tented suite invites you to completely relax and unwind with a book on the comfy couch, or take an afternoon nap on the king size bed, with 300 count cotton sheets enveloping you and sending you to dreamland.

Dinner is a real occasion at Gorah. As you enter Gorah House with its historic magnificence, the magic surrounds you. Candle lit 'secret' corners with warm fires and paraffin lanterns put a soft layer of romance on the entire house in winter.
Decadent desserts complete the experience, teasing your senses as you ponder your next safari adventure.
Chefs are committed to serve freshly prepared dishes and will deliciously satisfy any dietary requirements.
During summer the open veranda doors invitingly coax in the evening breeze, while the mood is set for a sumptuous meal.
Estate wines carefully chosen to elevate the meal, and a good selection of international beverages, enhance the dining experience.
The veranda at the front of the colonial Gorah House overlooks the watering hole and the plains behind it. An idyllic setting to enjoy 'el fresco' dining, deliciously prepared daily by Gorah chefs with passion and creativity.
The outdoor Boma is another gathering place for dinner under the vast African sky. Open fires light up the night, exuding warmth as you relax to the time honoured art of cooking on wood and coal.
The Gorah chefs have perfected the art of an extravagant outdoor gourmet barbeque, with an array of dishes reflecting different aspects of African cuisine. Share stories, indulge in the fare and take in the sounds of the night as you dine.
During the colonial era, the vast expanses of land, wild animals and fascinating encounters with rural tribes, led to legendary tales of Africa that have shaped history and drawn more and more visitors to this magical and mystical place. To experience Gorah is to get a taste of this history.
Discover its captivating rhythm that calls for adventure and fills your soul with an intense passion for the ever changing landscape, the majestic animals and the cultural diversity.
Children staying at Gorah go on an exciting journey through time to discover the enchantment of this distinctive camp and the incredible Addo National Park.
Hosting a conference at Gorah creates a rare opportunity to share, explore and grow your business in an exceptional environment.
A Deep Sea Fishing adventure with operators is a day in good company and fresh air.
With the romantic mystique of an authentic African safari of centuries past as the creative backdrop to your ideas and concepts, is it guaranteed to be a success.
Addo National Park is home to the densest population of elephants on earth, African's largest land mammal. Guests are able to get up close to, taking in their incredible stature and grace.
The charm of the small cathedral city of Grahamstown owes much to history.
An "Out of Africa" honeymoon is the quintessence of romance and luxury, it is what honeymoon dreams are made of. Gorah delivers on that dream from the moment you arrive, until you leave, relaxed, happy and in love.
This 2-day trail takes you along the scenic Sundays River, and starts and ends in a little hamlet called Cannonville – situated just 30 minutes' drive north of Port Elizabeth.
Every July the National Arts Festival transforms the tranquil city of Grahamstown into a boisterous, bubbling platform for the performing and visual arts.
To celebrate a wedding at Gorah is a dream.
Raggy Charters is the only licensed boat-based whale and dolphin watching permit holder in the Port Elizabeth area.
The heritage of Gorah is bestowed in its history, its animals and the landscape. Children staying at Gorah go on an exciting journey through time to discover the enchantment of this distinctive camp and the incredible Addo National Park. At Gorah we create a fun environment for children. They experience what it was like to walk in the shoes of the forefathers who lived at Gorah.
The guides take special care to spend time with the children on game drives or back at the camp, teaching and guiding them through the wonders of history, nature and the African bush.
Children 10+ can go on game drives.

British Ambassador Explains Why Prince William Is Not Giving the "Peace" Speech In Israel
Many observers have wondered why Prince William would visit Israel in the midst of the tensions between the country and Palestine. Before now, the British government had limited its involvement in the peace process spearheaded by the United States.
READ ALSO: This Is What Prince William Is Expected To Do During His Historic Visit To Israel And The Palestinian Territories
It is even more confusing that the visit is regarded as non-political. So why is he visiting in the first place? The reason may be more personal than official.
Prince Phillip's mother, Princess Alice, was laid to rest in Jerusalem in 1988. He was not allowed to visit the country due to political friction between England and Israel until 1994. In 2016, Prince Charles paid a visit to the grave site to pay his respects. It turns out, Prince William is using the trip as an opportunity to pay his respects as well.
READ ALSO: Extraordinary Reason Why Prince William Is Set To Make A Controversial Visit To Israel
Due to his declining health, it is unlikely that Prince Phillip will be leaving the country anytime soon. In some way, Prince William's visit is in respect to his grandfather and it is likely that the visit may become a family tradition. So do not be surprised if Prince George visits Jerusalem in the near future.
Prince William will be meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas but according to Britain's Ambassador to Israel, David Quarrey, the Prince will not be sharing a "message of peace."
I don't think that the Duke will be bringing a particular message to either side. But I think he'll be very interested in hearing from each side what they think they can do, what they think can be done more generally to move us out of the current situation and move us towards peace.
On Tuesday, the Prince met with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as President Reuven Rivlin. The visit is intended to reestablish cordial relations between the countries above everything else.
Besides meeting with political leaders, the Prince met representatives of Palestinian civil society, business, culture, and government. Britain is trying to find subtle ways of calling both sides to consider peace and end the hostilities that have plagued the region for decades.
There is no telling how much Prince William's visit will mean in the conflict-prone region but seeing as Britain is not rushing to play middle-man, there is hope that this more subtle approach will yield positive results in the future.

Q: WPF: binding Bitmap source to XAML resources failure I am trying to display a picture loaded by OpenFileDialog in a new window.
The first way, which is doing that entirely in code works. I want to do it in another way, though. I attempt to add that image to resources and then use this for a given control.
XAML part:
<Window.Resources>
    <Image x:Key="imageResource">
        <Image.Source>
            <BitmapImage UriSource="{Binding ImageUri}" />
        </Image.Source>
    </Image>
</Window.Resources>

<Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <Image Name="image"  />
    <Image Name="image2" Grid.Column="1" Source="{Binding imageResource}" />
</Grid>

C# code:
public partial class PicWindow : Window
{
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
    private void NotifyPropertyChanged(String propertyName = "")
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }
    private Uri imageUri;
    public Uri ImageUri
    {
        get
        {
            return imageUri;
        }
        set
        {
            imageUri = value;
            NotifyPropertyChanged("ImageUri");
        }
    }

    public PicWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
    public PicWindow(string filePath)
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        imageUri = new Uri(filePath);
        image.Source = new BitmapImage(imageUri);
    }
}

Left column (done in the c# code) displays a loaded picture, but the right one does not (the one with binding usage).
P.S. Regarding that every new picture is opened in a new window I realise that the ImageUri change notification is redundant in here. Please ignore this.

A: Drop the Image resource and bind directly to the ImageUri property of your Window:
<Image Name="image2" Grid.Column="1"
       Source="{Binding ImageUri, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Window}}" />

Built-in type conversion will automatically convert from type Uri to ImageSource.

As we were able to find out during the market research on electronics prices, the Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone has fallen sharply in price, becoming much cheaper and more affordable for purchase. This happened not only because of strong competition, but also because of the appearance in the network of a huge amount of rumors about the Galaxy S10, which will go on sale in the first half of March next year, but buy it for less than 35 thousand hryvnia will not work.
Now, at the end of December 2018, the Samsung Galaxy S9 can be purchased for 15,997 UAH, that is, at a fairly attractive price, which is sold in silver. At a low price, the South Korean flagship is available for purchase at dozens of outlets, among which there are even those with several thousand positive reviews and, last but not least, many years of sales experience.
Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S9 is equipped with a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2960 by 1440 pixels (Quad HD +), an eight-core Exynos 9810 processor with a clock speed of 2.7 GHz, graphics Mali-G72 MP18, 4 GB operating and 64 GB of permanent flash memory, a microSD card slot of up to 512 GB including 12 megapixels, 8 megapixel front-facing cameras, USB Type-C jacks, and 3.5 mm headphones, as well as a rechargeable battery 3000 mAh battery.
The dimensions of the body case are 147.7 x 68.7 x 8.5 mm, and weighs only 163 grams. The device has IP68 water and dust protection, allowing it to immerse themselves under water at depths up to two meters, and also an NFC chip to work with popular payment systems, including Google Pay.


The Gather is an activity that allows the teens to see what common experiences they have with one another, culminating in the experience of loneliness. A testimony from a teen transitions into the Proclaim, which unpacks the difference between solitude and isolation. The Break gives the teens an opportunity to reflect on and discuss Peter's betrayal and Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. The Send is a guided meditation on Jesus' encounter with Peter after his betrayal.
The goal of Alone is to help the teens recognize their experiences of isolation and loneliness and motivate them to move from isolation to solitude before God and into community with one another.
• Being in solitude is good because it gives us an opportunity to contemplate who we are before God. We get to know our truest self and gain a deeper intimacy with God.
• Isolation is a result of the fall of humanity and is never good. It is a lack of self-awareness. It is a numb, dulled existence. Isolation is a lack of authentic friendships and community.
• Christ established the Church to help us develop a mature interior life and grow in authentic community.

253K in Florida would be protected by immigration order
On Behalf of Cuevas, Garcia & Torres, P.A. | Jan 27, 2015 | U.s. Immigration Law |
Immigration law is once again in the news, after President Obama issued an executive order in November protecting some undocumented immigrants to the U.S. from deportation. As we discussed in our Nov. 26 post, the rule prevents people who were brought to this country without documentation as children from being deported. Parents of U.S. citizens and legal residents will also be protected.
The executive order will create a legal status for people in these positions — if they remain law. Lawmakers in the House passed a spending bill earlier in January that included an amendment to stop the order.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that around 253,000 people in Florida would be affected by these new rules. Because of their current status, they are unable to get a job or a driver's license. They must live with the constant fear of being discovered by authorities and possibly removed from the country.
Many of the undocumented residents of Florida live in Miami-Dade and other parts of South Florida, such as Broward County and Palm Beach. Nationally, around 5.2 million people could be affected by the outcome of this political debate.
The majority of them are longtime residents. The Migration Policy Institute reports that 75 percent of people illegally brought to the U.S. as children, or who have a son or daughter in this country legally, have been in the U.S. for more than five years. They have set down roots here; MPI says that 44 percent of them own their home.

The name McCamon is from the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of the Britain and comes from Hamon, an Old French personal name brought to England after the Norman Conquest in 1066.
The surname McCamon was first found in Kent. The Roll of Battle Abbey reveals that two brothers, sons or grandsons of Hamon Dentatus accompanied the Conqueror in his Conquest. The first was Robert Fitz-Hamon, the renowned Conqueror of Glamorganshire and the second was Haimon, named in the Domesday Book as "Dapifer," for having received the office of Lord Steward for the King. The latter died issueless while the former had four daughters, three of which had conventual lives.

The first dictionaries that appeared in the last few hundred years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. McCamon has been spelled many different ways, including Hammond, Hammon, Hammons, Hamon, Hamond and others.

Q: How to unbind volume from docker image? I created an image from a running container, which had a volume mapped at the time, e.g.: -v /home/user/myproject/xyz:/opt/xyz. Now, when I run that image, e.g.: docker run -i -t myimage bash, there is a mount in /opt/xyz. There isn't any files in it, but I cannot delete or unmount that folder.
Anyone knows how to get rid of that binding?..
UPDATE: one method I found is to start a container, export it, then import it back as a new image

A: This is not currently supported. I would do one of two things:

*

*Ignore the directory. If there aren't any files in it then it shouldn't be making any difference.

*Create the image again, using a Dockerfile - this is best practice.

Reef Rax Magnetic frags racks- The Definitive Review
By Marcin Smok 4 years ago
Frag racks. Almost everyone knows what they are but most of us are not fortunate enough to have a dedicated coral propagation system, and therefore need to deal with their presence in a display tank. Meticulously hidden from view, tucked in the dark corner of a reef aquarium, frag racks are considered an eyesore to the overall beauty of an underwater garden. But having a frag rack in the display tank is most often not a choice, but a necessity. Fragging happens, intentionally or not. In a system full of thriving corals, a simple maintenance session involving one's hands in the tank can produce several accidental frags that have to go somewhere.
Frag racks are a godsend when a special condition in a reef tank occurs: lack of usable space. Through my years of experimenting with my reef aquaria, I have found that the best answer to the lack of "real estate" inside the tank is to utilize magnetic frag racks on the side and back glass panels, as well as the overflow box. Some corals adapt easily to the vertical space available- for example, I have a love / hate relationship with GSP (Pachyclavularia sp.)- I really like that coral, but I don't want it to spread uncontrolled, choking and killing other corals in its fight for dominance. My solution to the problem is to mount the coral on a vertical surface, away from its tankmates.
This method works wonders- I can still enjoy the green, wavy ballet of GSP "dancing" in the flow, while a scraper razor is all I need to control it. Unfortunately, not all corals can be grown that way- some simply need the horizontal area to grow successfully.
With that in mind, I would like to introduce you to the company whose products I am reviewing today. Reef Rax is a new manufacturer based in Long Island, NY that makes magnetic frag racks for use in reef aquariums. Their frag rack system has several unique characteristics. First of all, Frag Rax holders are made out of completely reef safe, inert resin that won't leach any chemicals to the tank. The plastic resin used in the build is very porous and very light, while being almost indestructible.
The second most noticeable aspect of Reef Rax is its live rock –like appearance. Each of the 4 "models" (more on them in next paragraph) is shaped to mimic real reef rock, both in structure and color. In fact, each frag rock is available in 5 different colors- from the standard white and black to the more live rock looking purple, brown and grey.
Rocks with holes
I received three models of Reef Rax to review, each in different color: the nano shelf in purple, nano corner shelf in brown and nano "s" in grey. They all come with pre-drilled holes- 9 in the nano shelf, 8 in the nano corner shelf and 10 in the nano "s". What's cool about the material they are made of is that nothing stops you from making your own custom holes. In fact, a power drill and regular wood cutting drill bit is all you need to modify Reef Rax.
Reef Rax comes with two rubber coated, submersible magnets, one for each side of the flat-cut backside facing the glass. I would personally prefer one long case that connects the two outside magnets, just because I tend to stick the outside magnets together (they're rare earth magnets, so go figure), but it's not a big deal if you're not planning to reposition the rack often. The nano series is meant to be used in glass up to ¼" thick, but I didn't have a problem hanging it on my ½" glass panels while it held a full set of ceramic plugs; they just weren't secure enough to withstand an accidental blow of a misplaced hand. I put it on the back panel where my hands rarely venture and didn't have any problems. According to the manufacturer, ½" glass rated versions of the models are in the making and will be released soon.
When you pick up a piece of Reef Rax for the first time, you'll be surprised at how light it is. Pumice density is what comes to my mind as comparison. No wonder it can be held by a relatively small magnets. Color-wise, the grey is the most utilitarian of the three, it resembles a Tonga sourced dry rock. Brown looks the most natural, with different shades of that color nicely blend into one, uniform mass. Purple is the boldest and may be too bright for some, but it does look similar to a fully coralline covered natural rock. It's important to note that Reef Rax appearance changes rather drastically after being underwater for some time. Let me explain…
Magnetic rock in action
Purple Reef Rax rack on its first day in the tank
I mounted three Reef Rax racks on the back panel of my 100g reef tank almost 3 months ago and it has been a feature of my reef ever since, hosting a bunch of different frags and loose pieces of corals. The initial "feel" of the purple and grey versions of the rack, both visible from the front panel, was that they were noticeable. The brown in turn, blended in seamlessly with a man-made rock I've had in this aquarium for a year or so. Things started to change around the 2-week mark where the porous structure of Reef Rax started to get populated with all kinds of macroalgae and other microorganisms. The purple turned more subtle as the surface "aged" and the grey of nano "s" darkened to a much more natural tone. To clarify, it's not that the Reef Rax started to change color, instead, enough stuff grew on it to changed its appearance, so even though the Reef Rax structure is made out of a plastic resin, it still functions perfectly as a surface for reef life to grow on. All the racks "aged" nicely within 3 months of being in my reef tank and now don't overshadow the rest of the tank's rocks…
…and here's where I find Reef Rax excels. I wanted to create additional areas for corals to grow by utilizing the back wall and at the same time not have something that screams "frag rack" in the display area of my tank, and for that, Reef Rax provided. It has an excellent porous surface that life quickly takes over, and it creates natural looking ledges that don't distract from the main viewpoint.
Conclusion & Pricing
An argument against Reef Rax was made by someone reviewing the product in an online store that it is expensive, so I started researching. I've looked online for similar "live rock looking" magnetic frag racks and for one thing, there aren't that many, and two, almost all are more expensive than Reef Rax. So yes, it is costlier, compared to regular "egg-crate" or acrylic frag racks, but it's actually at the bottom of the price chart when it comes to "natural looking" frag racks. Plus, it's made here in the US. If you need a frag rack or more space to grow corals but hate how regular magnetic frag racks look in the tank, Reef Rax may be the right choice for you. It looks good and fulfills its function with ease, plus it is so light that it's safe to use in a bare bottom glass tank. What I like the most about Reef Rax is that when placed on the back wall and observed through the front, it adds to the "depth of field" any good aquascape aims for.
I have two comments regarding the design of Reef Rax, based on my experience with it- a single outside magnet mold would be preferable for me and the pre-drilled holes could be 1/8" of an inch in diameter larger- some of my various plugs don't go fully in and stick out from the structure. I upsized some of them myself using a drill, but it's something to consider. Other than that, it's a fine frag rack.
Reef Rax nano series cost between $55-$70 and the full sized shelf rock is currently sold at $75.
Reef Rax, besides making standard size frag racks, also makes custom molds for individual clients. If you want to learn more about Reef Rax and order racks in their online store, visit: https://www.reefrax.com/

OBJECTIVE: Data stealers has 10 minutes to steal the data from the laptop then take it back to their base.The data is hidden on the computer but is under the file name of 'US Profiles'. The defending team must stop the data stealers from taking the data to their base. The defenders cannot go into the area/room(if you are using a building or fort) but can guard it outside/nearby. If shot must go to your teams assigned respawn point and count to 15. After the round swap over. To show that the data team won in the end, the usb will be put into the laptop/ computer to check that the data is in there.
Laptop - broken = lolololol.
Young padawan, you still have much to learn!!! Wait until you move out of home - it is then you will discover the versatility and usefulness of old pizza boxes!!
I'd like to have a war using the new Dart Tag League rules. Some pretty cool ideas in there I reckon. Obviously get rid of the stock blasters only one though.
It would be cool to have an urban sniper type of game. I think there's some sort of ban on that word or something, I'm not sure. If you tell me, I'll edit it.
Anyway, have two teams of five with high powered blasters. Singled Titans, maybe 4Bs, other 100'+ blasters. Set up two forts 80' away, no moving, you stick to your post. No ammo limit, one hit and you're out. First to get the other team out.

Looks good Oxy, possiblity of the stock blaster scenario for the little kiddies as well!!
I'm hoping if you hst these - We can use previous dart tag blasters too! Magstrikes would be interesting - (i.e. n-strike ones unfortunately, however they were part of the DT series ages ago). Furyfires and Stormfires! :).
I hate to disagree with you LB, but I'd nearly have to call it "Delivery" or "Pizza Hut"
Would anyone be interested in an 18+ rules reduced indoor/outdoor war in ipswich? Hoping for something that's just like a regular war, but with extra hurt. I have a possible venue complete with beds, furniture and stuff for cover in mt crosby, along with a few other places in mind, but i haven't enquired yet. Another possible venue is riverview, but that's much more expensive.
Hey! I'm new but i think I might have a good idea for a game... Living vs Dead!
Ok this is good for fun and the rules are simple. You can play this anywhere. it starts with two group the Living and the Dead. The Living can have as many guns and players that thay can muster. The Dead have half of the Living's numbers and no weapons but can't be stopped! The Dead must move at limping speed only, if thay get shot then thay stand still or fall over for 5 seconds before thay can move. If a Dead touches a Living the Living becomes one of the dead (put there gun down!). The Living must get to and hold a base for as long as thay can. The game end's when all the Living are Dead! Try and last as long as you can... HA HA HA!!!!
Its similiar to HvZ but the melee team have swords.
2 teams one with guns (ar removal only) and the other with swords and a shield.
The melee team can throw darts at the gun team as well as block the darts with the shield.
The gun team cannot use shields or melee items, but can barrel tap and are allowed to carry as many guns as they like.
Basic Ruleset: Foam Fortress Pro.
Objective: Recover the artifact (basketball) or intelligence (backpack) from the defending team's base.
4 or more People, with 3 lives each.
They can be either a Medic or a Soldier.
Special Rules: The members of the attacking team take three hits (lives) before they die.
The Medic, instead of acting as a mobile spawn point, can restore one life per person over the course of the game. They cannot heal themselves.
Objective: Prevent the attacking team from recovering the artifact (basketball) or intelligence (backpack) from your base.
4 or more People, with 4 lives each.
They can be either Soldier or Sharpshooter.
Special Rules: The members of the defending team MUST return to their initial spawn point before they respawn. They CANNOT respawn in the field, due to their team having no Medics.
I'm seeing this a sort of Stargate type scenario.
1 player, The runner will try to run the gauntlet to retrieve the flag and bring it back the the start.The player will have 2 minutes the run the gauntlet.
4-5 players, The gauntlet shooters, will try to shoot the runner. They will be able to use any blaster but will not be able to move from their place.
Game end, when the runner is shot, makes it back to the start with flag or time is over.
^ That idea is so good I thought it would have already been made Only thing is, wouldn't the runner have to be very fast and agile? Some might not find it fun Maybe limit blaster range.
redcricket077 wrote: ^ That idea is so good I thought it would have already been made Only thing is, wouldn't the runner have to be very fast and agile? Some might not find it fun Maybe limit blaster range.
True, I tend to forget some are not as athletic than me and others, it would be more of a "challenge" game type. Not every one will have to play as runner.
We also always have a minimum engagement range with most games, so it would apply here too. So if the shooters are using epeen's then epeen range limits would be used.
Also the ideal place would be to play it where the runner could have some form of cover instead of just being out in the open for the whole run.
In QLD in the Southside wars (Darra only), we have something similar.
It's all air/30m shooting blasters and the runner is running towards the marker behind the shooters.
It's compulsory for the runner to wear a facemask, as expected.
It's scored off how many kills the shooter can accumulate; also note that if you participate in shooting you have to participate in running.
Anyone got a warehouse we can borrow?
When I buy a chunk of dirt up here I'm going to be putting a massive shed on it. Might be good for future wars. maybe even have a 24hr war event where it's not safe to sleep. It will be like full on warfare. Maybe trenches in the back paddock as well.
and MAN I wish the Long Shot was sold in Australia... I don't see anything wrong with it :(.
I just hope I'll get at least a few more years with my nerf guns before I'm arrested for having "firearms" stashed in my house.
Full power to you, and I hope both of our Governments turn around and undo the mess they have us in.
How about Death by Nerf? A 12 hour battle with only the most sensible of rules.
Dude I don't know about you, but I said that ... like a year and a half ago.
Haha soudns like an endurance game.
Endurance games are the best. There would be very little rushing. Instead there would be more tactical moves and there wont be any breaks. All of your food and drink would have to be carried with you. If you wanted to pull up for some food you would need someone to watch out for you. Just like you would in a real time war.

Just make sure the people are motivated enough, one of my endurance matches fell through because half of them couldn't be bothered getting into it.
I think the most of the crowd is quick pace games. I prefer those games more.
I think with QLD speedfoam there should be more negative consequences when people get tagged and balancing measures (ie dart sweeps) between high range low capacity and low capacity long distance blasters.
For example if i have an AT and two spare mags, with instant respawns, I run out of ammo on my second run and have to sideline myself for a minute to gather darts. Meanwhile lefty with his megastrike continues operating at full capacity and can tag roughly the same number of people per minute indefinitely.
With regards to negative consequences, if someone gets tagged they can be out of the game for as little as 20 seconds. It doesn't really put their team at a disadvantage. So i think it might be worth preparing a range of different respawn modes.
A few NO-DOZE and wash those down with monster and everyone will want to play for a week haha.
Everyone picks a primary and a pistol. The attacking team only get pistols, while the defending team get access to all guns. The attacking team must capture a base (using littlebro05's method with the panels).
Then the attacking team gets access to semi-automatic weapons(longshot,longstrike,recon etc.) and must capture another base. When they capture that They get access to fully automatic/pump action guns(Stampede,vulcan, Magstrike,Titan etc.) and must capture a flag from the defenders big base. The attacking teams can either have a total number of live(icebreaka's poker chip method) or a time limit.
2) Each player recieves one life; when you are killed you must hand over your bandana to the player who killed you, as well as any you have won.
3) At the end of the round the players can use bandana's to purchase ammo/guns from the shop.
7) Last man standing, with a ten minute time limit.
After ten minutes, if more than one player is still alive, they must all come the main area and have a mexican standoff, with their original nitefinder.
That's not bad actually, it'd only be available to those organisers with way too many blasters on their hands though.

African American Soldier in American Revolution Dissertation
Paper Type: Dissertation
Subjects: African American Studies (94) History (1922)
In 1775, the black American's constituted of about 20 percent of the entire colonial population, yet only 5 percent of the African-Americans were engaged in the Continental Army1. This presented worrying statistics on the American Revolution history. The black soldiers mainly originated from the Northern states, which constituted of many Freedmen.
We will write a custom dissertation sample on African American Soldier in American Revolution specifically for you
Historical findings ascertain that these blacks from the Northern states were accorded some liberty for enlisting. During these times of the American Revolution, it was witnessed that some regiments were mainly composed of black men, but the officers in charge were the whites2.
For example, this kind of arrangement was witnessed in Rhode Island, where most solders went to the battle fields and fought with conviction as well as valor. Indeed, Edward Hector was among these little known heroes of the American Revolution, who took part in the Battle of Brandywine. Edward "Ned" Hector was a black solder who came from Pennsylvania.
Hector was appointed to be a wagoneer under the leadership of Captain Courtney. The Captain was under Colonel Proctor who was manning the third Pennsylvania's Artillery Regiment3. Besides, it was witnessed that the unit positioned itself next to Chad's Ford, and this could be somewhere on the ridge that was after John Chad House.
On September 11, Hessians as well as the British started overrunning the positions of the Americans, especially on the Eastern Brandywine. This event took place in the afternoon, and the Americans were ordered to abandon their horses, wagons, and guns in order to save their lives4.
Indeed, during this dreadful attack, Edward Hector strongly came out to protest against the threats of the enemy by arguing that he would save his team, horses and himself5. Hector made some remarkable achievements during this war when he ensured that all the abandoned arms were grabbed, thrown into his wagon, fended off the enemies, and escaped with his salvage wagon6.
In fact, this was one of his remarkable achievements because the salvaged items were critically required by the army's operation in the coming days. It can as well be argued that Hector regarded both the wagon and the team as his personal property, and losing them would mean the loss of his personal livelihood7.

Moreover, Ned Hector's activities during the America's war with the British were very remarkable in the American political history since the white people had never heard of black heroes. Therefore, it is important to realize that the story behind Hector's heroism could break certain stereotypes, build bridges, and even create links among individuals8.
This story provokes historical scholars' thinking that many people and individual groups are excluded from history, and are unrecognized as heroes and heroines for their remarkable achievements towards political freedom.
Indeed, these groups of unrecognized heroes and heroines have never been rewarded by the society for the good work they did9. This would provoke scholarly thinking on whether Hector was fully rewarded for his good service at the battle front10.
In sum, it should be realized that those who took part in the American Revolution were not fully rewarded, yet this was an important event that led to independence. It was revealed that the blacks were behind the American's liberation from the British colonial rule, and this was witnessed with Ned Hector's brevity to salvage his army at the battle of Brandywine.

Gregory D. Lewen, M.D., is a double board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, as well as light/laser treatments for men and women in Miami, Aventura, and the surrounding areas of Florida.
As cosmetic surgery patients become more accustomed to incredible results, they want more procedures that require less downtime and address concerns that cannot be corrected with surgery. Light/laser treatments are often the answer. These procedures remove damaged layers of skin, stimulate collagen production, and give the skin a healthy, radiant glow.
What Are the Benefits of Light/Laser Treatments?
Dr. Lewen is one of a select few plastic surgeons in the Miami and Aventura area who specializes in oculofacial plastic surgery, including light/laser treatments. Contact us today to schedule a comprehensive consultation to learn more about our services.


Brandon, I don't mean to dig up an old post but I was wondering if you've gotten to look at this. Any update on support for original language resources?
So will you work on getting e2fs to handle the new e-Sword file formats? I realize its probably not high on your priority list and that it will take permission and possibly some information from Rick Meyers but it would be nice to have.
Brandon, There also some Bible modules there that include Strongs' numbers. Are those supported by es2f?
Zefania XML Anyone familiar with this "open" format for Bible software? It is obviously XML based and there are some resources available in the format already. Is this something that Swordsearcher might support in the future, or perhaps supported in Forge?
What version of Delphi are you currently using? SwordSearcher supports the Vista Aero interface, but some people have told me that Borland development tools do not support this. I'm wondering if they just haven't upgraded in a long time.
