Géographie

Localisation

La commune de Varennes se trouve dans le département de la Haute-Garonne, en région Occitanie.

Elle se situe à  à vol d'oiseau de Toulouse, préfecture du département, et à  d'Escalquens, bureau centralisateur du canton d'Escalquens dont dépend la commune depuis 2015 pour les élections départementales.
La commune fait en outre partie du bassin de vie de Caraman.

Les communes les plus proches sont :
Mourvilles-Basses (), Labastide-Beauvoir (), Mauremont (), Caragoudes (), Saint-Germier (), Tarabel (), Trébons-sur-la-Grasse (), Toutens ().

Sur le plan historique et culturel, Varennes fait partie du pays toulousain, une ceinture de plaines fertiles entrecoupées de bosquets d'arbres, aux molles collines semées de fermes en briques roses, inéluctablement grignotée par l'urbanisme des banlieues.

Varennes est limitrophe de cinq autres communes.

Géologie et relief
La superficie de la commune est de  ; son altitude varie de .

Hydrographie

La commune est dans le bassin de la Garonne, au sein du bassin hydrographique Adour-Garonne. Elle est drainée par le ruisseau de Visenc, le ruisseau de l'Albarède, le ruisseau de la Marque, le ruisseau d'en Combes et par un petit cours d'eau, constituant un réseau hydrographique de  de longueur totale.

Climat
Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat du Bassin du Sud-Ouest », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du type « climat océanique altéré » dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Il s'agit d'une zone de transition entre le climat océanique et les climats de montagne et semi-continental. Les écarts de température entre hiver et été augmentent avec l'éloignement de la mer. La pluviométrie est plus faible qu'en bord de mer, sauf aux abords des reliefs.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent à la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. Ces changements peuvent être constatés sur la station météorologique de Météo-France la plus proche, « Ségreville », sur la commune de Ségreville, mise en service en 1961 et qui se trouve à  à vol d'oiseau, où la température moyenne annuelle est de  et la hauteur de précipitations de  pour la période 1981-2010.
Sur la station météorologique historique la plus proche, « Toulouse-Francazal », sur la commune de Cugnaux, mise en service en 1922 et à , la température moyenne annuelle évolue de  pour la période 1971-2000, à  pour 1981-2010, puis à  pour 1991-2020.

Milieux naturels et biodiversité
Aucun espace naturel présentant un intérêt patrimonial n'est recensé sur la commune dans l'inventaire national du patrimoine naturel.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Varennes est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction de Toulouse, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de  ou plus (hors Paris).

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (100 % en 2018), une proportion identique à celle de 1990 (100 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
terres arables (76,9 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (23,1 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Risques majeurs
Le territoire de la commune de Varennes est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : météorologiques (tempête, orage, neige, grand froid, canicule ou sécheresse), inondations et séisme (sismicité très faible). Un site publié par le BRGM permet d'évaluer simplement et rapidement les risques d'un bien localisé soit par son adresse soit par le numéro de sa parcelle.

Certaines parties du territoire communal sont susceptibles d'être affectées par le risque d'inondation par débordement de cours d'eau, notamment La commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par les inondations et coulées de boue survenues en 1982, 1996, 1999 et 2009.

Le retrait-gonflement des sols argileux est susceptible d'engendrer des dommages importants aux bâtiments en cas d'alternance de périodes de sécheresse et de pluie. 94 % de la superficie communale est en aléa moyen ou fort (88,8 % au niveau départemental et 48,5 % au niveau national). Sur les  dénombrés sur la commune en 2019,  sont en en aléa moyen ou fort, soit 92 %, à comparer aux 98 % au niveau départemental et 54 % au niveau national. Une cartographie de l'exposition du territoire national au retrait gonflement des sols argileux est disponible sur le site du BRGM.

Par ailleurs, afin de mieux appréhender le risque d'affaissement de terrain, l'inventaire national des cavités souterraines permet de localiser celles situées sur la commune.

Concernant les mouvements de terrains, la commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par la sécheresse en 2003, 2011, 2012 et 2016 et par des mouvements de terrain en 1999.

Toponymie
Le toponyme Varennes est issu du gaulois varrenna, dérivé du gaulois hypothétique *varros « poteau », d'où  (occitan varenna). Il s'agit du même terme que le français garenne, mais sans l'influence du germanique sur la consonne initiale v cf. occitan vesc « gui », français gui de même étymologie.

Histoire

Ancien Régime
La terre des Varennes, baronnie qui dépendait du comte de Foix, a été confisquée en 1398 par Charles VI, roi de France, sur Arnaud de Château-Verdun, à l'occasion de la succession de Gaston Fébus, comte de Foix, après le décès de Mathieu de Castelbon, comte de Foix, vicomte de Béarn, époux de Jeanne, infante d'Aragon, qui n'avait pas laissé de dispositions testamentaires (1391). Le fils unique de Gaston Fébus avait été tué accidentellement par son père dans un accès de colère.

Les Varennes à cette époque étaient administrées par un bailli et trois consuls, dont un noble, avec des annexes dont Mourvilles-Basses, Saint-Germier, une partie de Mauremont et Esquille dans Trébons. Esquille était une petite commune située entre Mauremont, Saint-Germier et les Varennes. Arrivés aux Varennes, les deux agents du roi sont obligés de s'adresser au bayle du village qui représentait le seigneur, faute de n'avoir pu rencontrer les consuls qui étaient allés assister à une noce à Mourville. Ils destituèrent le bayle en tant que représentant d'Arnaud de Château-Verdun, et le nommèrent représentant du roi. En signe de prise de possession au nom du roi, après avoir adressé un inventaire des biens d'Arnaud, ils firent clouer une fleur de lys sur la porte de la maison du seigneur appelée fortulatum.

C'est le  que la terre des Varennes fut donnée à Pierre de Puybusque qui avait joué dans l'affaire de la succession de Foix un rôle important, et qui avait déjà Maurémont.

En 1521 François de Saint-Félix épousa Antoinette de Puybusque qui lui apporta en dot diverses terres dont les Varennes.
En 1582, son petit-fils, Claude, fit construire le château actuel, probablement à l'emplacement du fortulatum dont il est parlé en 1398, sur les plans et devis de Dominique Bachelier, fils de l'architecte Nicolas Bachelier.

À cette époque en effet, le Lauragais est appelé Pays de Cocagne en raison de la richesse apportée par le pastel. Le château des Varennes est l'un des célèbres châteaux du pastel en Lauragais. La richesse apportée par cette plante lui vaut aussi l'un des premiers impôts sur la fortune à l'occasion de l'attribution d'office de ses armoiries par d'Hozier à la suite de l'édit de 1696, à moins que ce soit l'effet de la richesse apportée par le froment.

À la suite de l'achèvement de la construction du canal du Midi en 1681, une nouvelle richesse bénéficie en effet au village. Au  le château devient l'un des châteaux du froment. Il est alors modifié par la construction d'une cour en fer à cheval ; dans cette cour, une centaine d'anneaux en fer servent à attacher les chevaux lors des foires. Côté sud, le château des Varennes s'ouvre sur un parc de trois hectares avec une belle vue sur les coteaux du Lauragais et au loin la chaîne des Pyrénées.

Le château des Varennes est resté dans la famille des Saint-Félix jusqu'au , puis toujours dans la même famille par descendance féminine jusqu'à aujourd'hui, où 23 générations de la même famille se sont succédé. La famille vit dans une partie du château et certaines chambres d'hôtes sont disponibles.

En 1845, la commune des Varennes fut adjointe à la commune de Trébons comme ne pouvant se suffire à elle-même.

Derrick Brown's return to Auburn met with shock, replication
Updated Feb 10, 2019 ; Posted Feb 10, 2019
AUBURN, AL - OCTOBER 13: Defensive lineman Derrick Brown #5 of the Auburn Tigers looks to block a pass from quarterback Jarrett Guarantano #2 of the Tennessee Volunteers at Jordan-Hare Stadium on October 13, 2018 in Auburn, Alabama. (Photo by Michael Chang/Getty Images)
By Sam Blum | SBlum@al.com
To answer a reporter's question, Prince Tega Wanogho asked the very question question right back.
Were you surprised that Derrick Brown decided to return for his senior season?
"Were you surprised," he answered back.
Brown, a defensive tackle, was likely a first round pick in the NFL Draft. He just had a son on Dec. 20, and it seemed to outsiders, and even some insiders, like his departure was a foregone conclusion.
"I mean, we all were surprised," said the offensive tackle, Wanogho. "That man was first- or second-round. That's what he was. If I had actually had that chance, I don't think I'd come back. We got to be honest."
Just a day later, Wanogho, who was likely a mid-round NFL Draft pick, announced his decision to return. As did DE Marlon Davidson, another player that had a good chance of getting drafted in the early rounds. Aside from a few players who made decisions very early, Brown's decision to come back opened the door for everyone else to come back.
As a whole, Auburn only lost one defensive player to the NFL Draft — Jamel Dean — who announced only hours after the Music City Bowl ended. Darius Slayton, as well as Jarrett Stidham declared, as well. Eight players, though, announced their return — all except Nick Coe came after Brown.
"Derrick's decision, that really boosted mine, to be honest. I mean, because, if I would have come back, what do I have alongside," asked Davidson. "Do I have somebody else besides me that can dominate with me? And then when Derrick comes back, I'm like 'Dang.'"
Brown, Davidson and Coe — the three biggest pieces on Auburn's defensive line — had a group chat in the days after the bowl game, when they went back to their respective homes.
Trying to find out if Brown was coming back, both Davidson and Coe began texting Brown, to gauge his plans. The texts started in the morning. Brown saw the messages, but didn't answer because he was taking care of his newborn son, Kai, who "gets all my attention."
"Hello," Brown said Coe wrote, over and over again. "Hello. Hello. Hello."
"You're ignoring us," Brown said Davidson wrote. "Why are you ignoring us?"
Later that night, Brown responded.
"I texted them and I told them, 'I'm sorry. I've been busy all day,'" Brown said. "And they're just like, 'Mmhmm.' Responded with: 'Tell us right now. What are you going to do?'"
That's when Brown told them he was going to stay. Then the floodgates opened. Everyone was staying.
"It was like, some of the underclassmen, they probably thought that with Derrick coming back, we could have a super dominant defensive line," Coe said. "Derrick has been started for a few years. When everybody's coming back, you know who is in front of you. You feel protected."
Brown acknowledges his decision takes away the guarantee of big first-round money. But he bet on himself, and he said he'd have a hard time speaking on the importance of getting a degree to his son, if he didn't get one himself. Now, he's set to graduate in December.
And Auburn can basically put off replenishing its defensive line for another year as its heaviest of hitters return.
"It means a lot to me," said Jeremiah Dinson, a rising senior DB who announced his intention to come back after Brown. "I kind of look at [Derrick Brown]. He just had his first born. He's a Top 10 pick in the NFL if he comes out and he decided to come back. I look at that and say this is a true Auburn family. That's what family really means."
Brown finished 48 tackles, 10.5 tackles for a loss, 4.5 sacks, a forced fumble, two breakups, and six hits on the QB. He expects better next year, and said national awards are a personal goal for him.
For Auburn, though, his return might put the team goals within reach. Not just solely because he'll be on the defensive line. But because of everyone else, who came back in his footsteps.
"You're not trying to come back to—I'm not going to say this selfishly, but at the same time, I'm not trying to come back to a team without a defense or stuff like that," Wanogho said. "If I come back and this guy says no, it's going to hurt me in the long run. I'm a leader also, but then again, I'm thinking about my family, my future at the same time.
"So Derrick Brown actually coming back, that helped me with my decision."

This great-looking brick church is called the Høvik Church (or Høvik Kirke in Norwegian). It is located just a few kilometers west of Oslo and can't be missed when driving by on the E18.
"In 1891 it was decided to build a new church in the East of Bærum. After rough discussions about the location, it was an agreement to locate the new church in the plot in Høvik that was offered by wholesaler Frithjof Plahte. The construction of the church began in 1895, after drawings by the architect Henry Nissen. Høvik church was opened in 1898 and is built in red bricks, similar to Bryn church in Rykkinn. The church has a lively English-inspired Gothic Revival architecture, and forms a distinctive, asymmetrical design seen from the highway of E18."

Anny Butler never had a real family until she married Lewis Aiken. Having spent her life caring for others, first for her own brothers and sisters, then as a director of an agency devoted to the welfare of children, she finds that the love she shares with Lewis is everything she ever dreamed of. The family she meets through Lewis is not brethren in the traditional sense but rather a group of friends who have been inseparable since childhood. From first meeting them at the beach house they co-own, Anny finds a sense of security and love that fulfills a lifetime of yearning. As they grow closer, however, revealing confidences and forging emotional bonds, Anny begins to suspect everything is not as it seems and that the new loves she waited a lifetime for may hide a secret with a terrible price.

10 Oct What's the Difference?
When we're discussing mental illness, 'What's the difference?' is a very good question. It's a question which should probably be asked more often. Not in a negative way, but in a curious way. You see the range of mental illnesses is broad. Very broad. If this wasn't confusing enough for friends and family of mental health patients, many of these illnesses or diagnoses share traits with one another. Some patients will have only one diagnosis, others will have two or more. Welcome to the complex world of mental health.
Before I go any further, please be aware, I am not a trained professional, in any way, shape or form. I am just a regular mum doing my best, whilst living with a diagnosis of depression and anxiety. I have had minor episodes and I have had a very major one. Together with some amazing bloggers I have the pleasure to call friends, we will take you on a journey to learn about the struggles we face and how we are all different.
We are so fortunate to live in an age where people are beginning to speak about their mental health. Some of them, like Prince Harry, are very well known and influential, and that can only be a good thing. However, whilst people are more willing to open up about their struggles, there is still a huge gap between knowing about the importance of mental health and understanding it. Even now, many sufferers of mental illness find themselves isolated and unsupported. Often we find friends and family don't know what to do or say, so instead of trying, they hide away, or on occasion, say the wrong thing. How many times have you been told to 'pull yourself together'?
What's the Difference will be a short series of posts that aim to show you that even though a group of people have the same diagnosis, they don't share the exact same experience. We'll look at different diagnoses and learn a little of what the symptoms etc. are.
If you have a mental illness, we want you to know, you are not alone. If you are a friend or family member supporting someone, we want to help you to understand your loved one's journey and help you to find the support you need for yourself.

Down payment debacle: What to do when a car deal falls through
Reporter: Lindsey Sablan
Producer: Katie Cribbs
Published: May 25, 2016 7:16 PM EDT
FORT MYERS, Fla. – A trip to a local car dealer turned into a nightmare for one woman. When the deal for the SUV she thought she was buying fell through, she said she never thought she would see her $3500 down payment again.
It has been almost a year since Liz Shafer and her husband Jerry moved from Michigan to Florida. With a new job, Liz wanted a new ride, one with air-conditioning. Liz said she went to Lee Automotive in Fort Myers and though she said she had no plans to purchase that same day, the owner gave her a deal she could not resist.
"[The owner] said, 'what can I do to make you buy a car today?' And I said I need to think about it because $9500 was more than I wanted to spend…He was like, 'well how much do you want to spend?' I said $8000. He looked at Jeff the salesman and says write her up."
It was a problem with the financing paperwork that ultimately caused a problem.
"[The salesman] was asking me at that point how much I make a week. I said at least $500. He said do you have paperwork to back this up and I said no, not at this time."
Liz had just started a new job and said she did not have a pay stub showing she was going to make $500 a week. But Liz said the dealership told her it would not be a problem. She signed the loan papers and put down her $3500 payment. Two days later when she went to pick up the car, she said she got a surprise.
"We transferred the insurance to the [new] car. I was walking out the door, a lady from the office says, 'I need a $500– I need a check stub saying she makes $500,' and I told them I said, I told you that was not going to happen."
According to Liz, the dealership wasn't going to hand over her new car, without that pay stub. Even worse, she said they refused to refund her down payment.
"I was upset because $3500 is a lot of money."
Liz said she was told she could either come up with the rest of the cash to buy the car she wanted, or find a car on the lot for $3500, the amount she had put down as a down payment.
Instead, Liz filed a complaint with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, which overseas dealers. She also called WINK News Call for Action.
We reached out Kyle, the owner of Lee Auto Group. Over the phone, he told us he would give back Liz's money if that is what it comes down to, but he was not ready to do so yet. After our call, however, Liz got the news she had been waiting for: a call from Kyle saying she would get her money back.
Consumer lawyer Carmen Dellutri with Dellutri Law Group does not represent Liz, but he said if you ever have to make a deposit when buying a car, make sure the dealer signs a form that says you will be refunded if the deal falls through.
A few other tips he offered:
–Do not take a car off the lot, unless the financing has officially gone through and you actually own it
–Make sure you review everything in a contract before you sign
–Try to get preapproval from your bank for a loan before you start shopping for a car
The Florida DHSMV tells us that they are still in the process of reviewing the complaint Liz filed. If you have an issue with a dealership, you can print and fill out a complaint with their office here.
We reached out to Kyle Lee with Lee Auto Group and he sent us this statement:
"I don't know what kind of story you are trying to write but here are the facts:
Ms. Elizabeth Schafer came in to purchase a vehicle and obtain financing. We got her approved but she couldn't prove her income that she stated. She had put $3,500 down and it was refunded in full after we couldn't get her financed."

Marbled eggs – quick fun craft for Easter or as great dinosaur eggs for a dinosaur party!
This blog post has now moved – CLICK HERE thank you for stopping by!
This is a really good Easter Craft, fairly straightforward, and much coveted amongst the kids' friends. And very simple instructions to make the pom pom bunny.
– Two pom poms, one large for the body, one smaller for the head.
– Pink Hama bead/Perla bead or similar, a small pink or red button will do.
– Contrasting fabric for the ears.
Glue the eyes and attach the 'whiskers' and little pink nose with a strong glue.
Using pinking shears, cut the bunny ear shapes, and scrunching them to create creases at the bottom, secure them together with a piece of wool (the same wool as the pom poms so that when you tie them to the bunny's neck, you won't see the join).
I think this really makes the pom pom bunny quite unique, and it's a great way to upcycle old bits of fabric – in fact you may recognise this blue fabric from the leaping rabbits denim pocket purse we made recently too – click here to check that out, you won't be able to resist having a go at that!.
If you would like to WIN a two pack Pom pom maker from Clover (35mm and 45mm) at Hobbycraft, pop over to our facebook page – LIKE our page, and tell us what you would like to make with this fabulous, easy to use pom-pom maker.
They also have very practical uses, and this paper plate box works on so many levels! We have used the paper plate to create a little cookie box, which is the perfect size for holding our Bunny Biscuits, and will make a great Easter Gift for Granny and Grandma.
I had planned to make these paper plate boxes for our next School cake bake sale, as we have a little tradition at our school – the kids get sent home with a paper plate, which has a sticker reading "Fill me up with treats & cakes, bought or baked, whatever it takes".
And my lovely friend Nellie (smallbumbigadventure.wordpress.com) sent me a 'how to' that she had found on Pinterest, so we tried it out, and photographed a 'how to' of our own to pop on the school facebook group page so that the kids can have a go at making them too! It has inspired 9yo and he's been experimenting with all sorts of different ways to fold the paper plate, so that the front section is lower than the back, and it has to be said, when you ARE deciding which is going to be the front of the box, be sure to have the side flap folding towards the back for neatness…!
With Spring almost here, and Easter around the corner, we thought we'd rustle up some rabbit cookies – or bunny biscuits as we've named them! It was a great introduction for 9yo to practice his royal icing piping, and 'flooding in' – we learnt a LOT about icing technique!
We used up some royal icing which had been in the fridge for a couple of days, and we have some TOP TIPS for you about this…see below!
Cream the caster sugar and the butter together, slowly adding the flour, mixing together to form a dough, I find we need to add a couple of drops of water, knead together to form a ball.
Roll out the dough, on a floured surface, to about 4mm thick.
As they cool down, you can make your royal icing (recipe here). Or if you are using some icing which you have been keeping in the fridge, as we were, TOP TIP make sure you really really stir the royal icing to get ALL of the lumps out, otherwise it sticks in the piping bag – and clogs the nozzle so that when you are piping the outline it stutters out, and the line will be all wobbly… 9yo wanted a pale brown bunny, so we mixed in his favourite hot chocolate mix, into a portion of the white royal icing and some more Fairtrade icing sugar, so that it's quite thick to pipe the outlines. When this outline is dry, you add a drop of water to the remaining brown mixture, so that you can spoon it into the outline, and using a cocktail stick, gently 'flood' the biscuit, and prick any little bubble that appear.
Pop the 'tail' into position whilst the 'flood in' icing on the rabbit cookie is still wet, and pipe on the remaining white royal icing to make a fluffy tail!
For more Spring baking ideas, check out the daffodil cookies here and if you are after some more rabbit crafts have a look at my denim pocket purse with leaping rabbits here (FREE printable) – and watch our latest google+ hangout hosted by Maggy at Redtedart featuring Anthea, Lizzie, myself and Kelly – a great selection of Bunny Crafts!
For easy to follow instructions on how to make a little gift box from a paper plate, perfect for these cookies, please click here.
Leaping rabbits and hares have a real Spring feel about them don't they? I've been doodling them forever, so I thought I'd put them to good use, and couldn't get the Chas and Dave song out of my head, (and I fancied a denim pocket purse craft) – Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit – exactly what you do when you are on the telephone? Yep – Soooo, I thought, iPhone wallet?
Looking around the house, I came across some old denim jeans in the bag destined for the charity shop, and as we love to upcycle in our house, cut the back pockets off! My quest for a denim pocket purse craft was realised!
Carefully cut the back pockets out of the denim jeans, so that you retain both layers of fabric, thus creating your OWN denim pocket.
Find (and iron) some contrasting fabric to applique onto the denim pocket purse for the rabbit shapes. (I used some fabric I had acquired from ReUsefulUK and my neighbour RedTedArt's hubbies old work shirt.
Print off the FREE printable rabbits template, to the scale you require for the three leaping rabbits to fit comfortably on the back pocket (the scale here is for a man's jeans, so you may find you need to print at 90% for smaller pockets).
Add your velcro dots to the inside of the pocket to make a secure closure.
These would make FANTASTIC little denim pocket purse bags for mini-eggs for a quick Easter gift too!

Long Arm, The (1956, Jack Hawkins, John Stratton)
Absorbing police melodrama The Long Arm is, said The Star "the most enjoyable game of cops-and-robbers since The Blue Lamp". But where The Blue Lamp offered a cosy and rose-tinted picture of the police, the passage of seven years provided a markedly cynical view of the life of the Scotland Yard Detective-Superintendent shown to be full of tedium and frustration.
No sooner does JACK HAWKINS return to his suburban home and neglected wife DOROTHY ALISON than he is recalled to the Yard. Hawkins and his new assistant JOHN STRATTON are on the trail of safe-cracker, RICHARD LEECH. Hawkins discovers a link between a series of recent crimes and, following up a clue suggested by his son MICHAEL BROOKE, finds the criminal was an employee of the safe-manufacturer, and traps him at the climax at London's Festival Hall.
The film boasts the major merits of an Ealing production; a detailed handling of the process of detection, believable characters, human interest, understated humour and strong casting. And able support is provided by Stratton, Alison, Brooke, Leech, GEOFFREY KEEN as Hawkins' paper-bound colleague and MEREDITH EDWARDS as a voluble Welsh garage proprietor.

Beavis è uno dei protagonisti del cartone animato americano Beavis and Butt-head.

La voce originale del personaggio è del creatore della serie stessa, Mike Judge, così come quella di Butt-head, Tom Anderson, David Van Driessen, Bradeley Buzzcut, e del preside McVicker. Nella versione italiana fu doppiato invece da Luigi Rosa nelle prime tre stagioni e poi da Faso, bassista degli Elio e le Storie Tese, nella quarta stagione e nella settima (mentre il cantante Elio dava la voce a Butt-head). Nella quinta e nella sesta fu doppiato in alternanza dai due, con una presenza maggiore di Faso nella quinta e una maggiore di Luigi Rosa nella sesta. Nel film ispirato alla serie è stato doppiato da Alessio Cigliano, e successivamente nell'ottava stagione da Fabrizio Biggio.

Per il nome Beavis, il creatore della serie Mike Judge si ispirò a quello di un amico conosciuto all'università, chiamato Bobby Beavis.

Biografia
Nato in Texas, nel 1979, ha dei capelli biondi sempre gonfi in stile pompadour, un'espressione facciale costante, una mandibola che è più lunga della mascella, e viene mostrato quasi sempre di profilo. Porta costantemente la maglietta dei Metallica (tranne nella puntata Blood Drive, in cui Beavis indossa una maglietta degli Slayer) e, a livello musicale, disse in una puntata di essere un fan - oltre che dei Metallica - anche dei Bon Jovi. Lavora al Burger World e frequenta l'Highland High School con l'amico Butt-head, con cui condivide una casa diroccata e la passione per i video musicali e per le fighette (così chiamano le ragazze).

Beavis ha una natura imprevedibile, e le sue azioni affrettate spesso finiscono in maniera disastrosa. Nei primi episodi si comportava come un piromane. È ossessionato dal fuoco e dalla violenza, e rispetto all'amico Butt-head è più ossessivo e anche più idiota. I due sono oltremodo dotati di una stupidità innata, presentando un carattere menefreghista, cinico, e ostinato che li porta a ricercare il divertimento in attività frivole o pericolose (pur non essendone coscienti); Beavis ne subisce spesso la maggior parte dei danni a causa della sua ingenuità. In una scena tagliata del film, Beavis ruba la Dichiarazione d'indipendenza per utilizzarla come carta igienica.

Grande Cornohlio
Grande Cornohlio è l'alter ego di Beavis, nel quale si trasforma quando assume quantità eccessive di caffeina, zuccheri o sostanze stimolanti. Quando è in questo stato diventa logorroico e farneticante, i suoi occhi si allargano, tiene le braccia verso l'alto, porta il colletto della maglietta fin sopra la testa, e lo si sente pronunciare spesso frasi sconnesse e contraddittorie con uno slang ispanico. Inoltre esprime grande interesse nell'avere «cocchiume per il coolio», che nella versione in lingua originale è «TP for his bunghole», ovvero "carta igienica (TP=toilet paper) per il suo sedere", mentre nel film viene tradotto in italiano con: «Ho bisogno di CI per la mia caghemuss». Appena torna normale, Beavis soffre di amnesia, non rendendosi mai conto dell'accaduto.

Nell'episodio Vaya con Cornholio viene ritenuto clandestino dalla Polizia, e viene "rimpatriato" in Messico.
Nella stessa puntata dice di venire dal Nicaragua, facendo però riferimento al lago Titicaca, situato tra Bolivia e Perù. Nell'episodio Santo Cornholio, Beavis si trasforma nel suo alter ego a seguito di un abuso di antidolorifici, e viene ritenuto da una setta di hippie/naturisti per la reincarnazione della loro guida appena deceduta, perciò viene portato nella comunità dove viene riverito assieme a Butt-Head fino a quando non è ora di consumare un'ammucchiata con giovani e belle ragazze. Beavis rinsavito lascia il luogo invitato da Butt-head, convinti a torto di non aver ascendenza con l'altro sesso, mancando così un'occasione importante e delegando inconsapevolmente il compito al loro goffo amico Stewart.
Beavis e Butthead appaiono anche nella serie animata con plastilina Celebrity Deathmatch, dove si sfidano all'ultimo sangue. L'incontro verrà vinto da Beavis, che complice un'eccessiva assunzione di zuccheri si trasforma in Cornholio uccidendo così Butt-Head e vincendo l'incontro.

Rapporto con Butt-head
Beavis e Butt-head vengono mostrati come migliori amici, considerando le loro attività, la residenza, e gli interessi che condividono. Tuttavia, il rapporto che c'è tra i due è sadico e violento.
Butt-Head è la personalità dominante, pertanto non è raro sentirlo insultare Beavis e vederlo abusare della sua maggiore stupidità in molte situazioni, e i due finiscono spesso per picchiarsi; Beavis è vittima in particolare di schiaffi o calci nei testicoli. In diversi episodi, Butt-head non mostra alcuna preoccupazione per Beavis, come quando questi viene picchiato duramente (negli episodi Adolescenti, Tired, e nel film), abbandonato (Il distributore) o deportato in Messico (Vaya Con Cornholio). La sensazione sembra essere reciproca, come si vede ad esempio nell'episodio Acqua sicura dove Beavis rimane indifferente alle esperienze pre-morte di Butt-head mentre sta per affogare in una piscina, oppure in Soffoco in cui Butt-head comincia a soffocare da una pepita di pollo, e Beavis prende il suo tempo tentando di aiutarlo come se non fosse nulla di grave.

Rapporti con altri personaggi
Sia lui che Butt-head stimano molto Todd, un bullo della strada, tanto che aspirano ad entrare nella sua banda.
Dice che non gli piace Daria Morgendorffer, tanto da chiamarla "Diarrea", anche se sembra rispettarla poiché unica persona che riesce a tollerare il duo e a non perdere la pazienza stando con loro.
David Van Driessen è l'unico insegnante della scuola con cui si relaziona, tanto che in ogni puntata cerca d'incoraggiare lui e Butt-head, senza poi riuscirci; al contrario, l'insegnante di ginnastica Buzzcut non perde mai occasione d'imbarazzare i due, visto il loro livello di stupidità. Il preside McVicker non sa minimamente come comportarsi con loro, visto che ogni tentativo di disciplinarli fallisce miseramente, arrivando a perdere la calma.

Parenti
Non si sa niente della sua famiglia, in quanto trascorre tutto il tempo con l'amico, anche se a volte lui e Butt-Head si riferiscono con orgoglio e affetto a sua madre come "una zoccola". Suo padre appare di persona in alcune scene del film Beavis & Butt-Head alla conquista dell'America, che incontrerà a sua insaputa; sempre nel film, si scopre che nel tempo libero andava a masturbarsi nel camper di Tom Anderson, il vicino di casa del duo.

If you're on the look out for quick, convenient and healthy foods when time is short but you still want to eat well, award-winning brand Strong Roots should be on your radar. Last year I worked with these guys (check out my Veggie Chilli-Loaded Sweet Potato Fries and Squidgy Avocado & Walnut Protein Brownies recipes!) so it was a pleasure to collaborate with them again here.
Offering innovative, delicious and nutritious range of vegetables and veggie meals, Strong Roots was created to help those with busy lifestyles cut corners in the kitchen and enjoy healthy food easily. The range includes Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries, Kale & Quinoa Burgers, Ripened Avocado Halves and Garlic Roasted Sweet Potatoes which are a great source of fibre, vegan friendly, have no artificial flavours and are perfect whether they are enjoyed on their own or part of a balanced meal. The vegetables are frozen from the moment they are picked to guarantee freshness and ensure nutrients are not lost in transportation, which is certainly a tick box for me.
My challenge this time was to create 'The Ultimate Roast Dinner Recipe' in line with Easter coming up using the Beetroot Wedges and/or Mixed Root Veg Fries, to highlight the simplicity and ease of being able to make a delicious roast that doesn't require too much hassle and prep. Savoury dishes aren't particularly my forte but I was keen to take this on – here's my veggie, gluten-free version of a toad-in-the-hole, packed with veggies and served with the delicious fries plus a seasoned vegetable 'gravy'. Ideal to serve for any family feast this weekend!
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C and grease a 20cm x 26cm ovenproof baking dish or tin.
Drizzle the olive oil in and add the onion, courgette, squash, beetroot wedges and sausages and cook for 10 minutes.
Whisk together the flour, eggs, milk and herbs with salt and black pepper. Remove the dish from the over, pour all over, return and cook for a further 2030 minutes until risen and golden.
At the same time bake the fries according to packet instructions.
Meanwhile make the gravy: Heat the oil in a small pan and add the garlic. Cook gently for 10 minutes then add the stock cubes and water. Bring to the boil and allow the cubes to dissolve. Whisk the cornflour with 1 tablespoon water to make a paste, then whisk in and simmer for a couple of minutes until thickened. Add black pepper.
When ready to serve, dish out some of the toad in the hole, fries and broccoli and pour over some gravy. Enjoy!

#279745 - 2018-10-23 21:01 Where is the Sooloos export folder?
New to Sooloos. I have sourced my set up from a friend.
Running a MS600 source with two TwinStores and a Control:10. Monitored by an iPad and Control:Mac.
My issue is with exporting. I have attached an external drive to my router (a Fritzbox 7490) which I can access on my Mac.
When I choose the native export option and save the destination, I should then be able to see this newly created destination folder on my Mac... Is this correct?
If so, I do not see any folders as such. Doing a global search also confirms that the newly created folder is nowhere to be found. I'm sure I'm missing something basic but I'm unable to resolve this.
Have you looked at the Control settings? The home button top right and I am fairly sure there is a sleep setting in there somewhere although I seem to recall that it is for just the display, if the core is on the C10 it should stay running permanently, I suspect your Control:Mac failure is due to the Mac going to sleep in which case you need to disable that or download a program like amphetamine which will prevent the Mac sleeping.
By the way an export will carry on from the last successful file transfer not start again, it may say exporting 1 of xxxx but xxxx will be a lower number than when you first started the export.
Many thanks... I'll give that a try tonight.
I have sorted the sleep issue and have now got to a point at about 14214 files where it stops and shows a failed export file.
When reconnected it goes back to exporting from file 1 again... a bit frustrating. Is this normal or should the export pick up again from the last file exported. Also previous location on the external hard drive is not remembered from the first export and I have to re establish a new export location.
Also, when attempting a back up I get coded files only in the back up destination and not music files. Can someone please explain this to me?
They appear inside a media folder which opens to several other subfolders and then as below.
When reconnected it goes back to exporting from file 1 again... a bit frustrating. Is this normal or should the export pick up again from the last file exported?
As Ratbert commented it always starts at 1 but the number remaining should be lower each time (as they have previously been exported).
Also previous location on the external hard drive is not remembered from the first export and I have to re establish a new export location.
That does not sound right, it should retain the export location ... if it is not and you are inadvertently "trashing" the previous backup/export it would explain why it is attempt to start over again. Can you detail, step by step how you are re-starting this process.
That suggests you are performed a Sooloos BACKUP rather than a Sooloos NATIVE EXPORT. Can you detail, step by step how you are starting this process.
I shut my system down periodically as we are in a home with old electrical infrastructure so when were away we don't like to leave things running... I'm assuming that once off, Sooloos wont recall the previous export details when switched back on again. I should also clarify that the backup issue was separate to the export and that when the export is up and running, I do get audio files being transferred... it's only when I'm performing a backup that I get the coded data... should it transfer that way?
1. With Control:Mac on, I go to the export tab and click on New Export destination.
2. I choose Native format, I leave the export folder name as a default and then point to the mounted external drive [a 4TB Seagate Backup Plus].
3. If I check the box Export all Sooloos Tracks then it starts to export automatically but each time starting from the same first folder as in previous attempts. (presumably due to system being switched off in between times). If I leave it unchecked, then nothing happens and I don't have access to any of my stored music folders from the Control:Mac app.
The external hard drive is connected to my Mac Pro which is connected wirelessly to the router boosted by a passthrough Powerline adapter.
UPDATE: Something odd just happened... having checked and then unchecked the export all box, what was initially exporting all files from the end of the alphabet when the box was checked, when unchecked it now reverts to exporting files (not sure if it's all) from the front of the alpahbet.
The MS600 had turned itself off for no apparent reason.

Fractal analysis of behaviour in a wild primate: behavioural complexity in health and disease.
Parasitism and other stressors are ubiquitous in nature but their effects on animal behaviour can be difficult to identify. We investigated the effects of nematode parasitism and other indicators of physiological impairment on the sequential complexity of foraging and locomotion behaviour among wild Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata yakui). We observed all sexually mature individuals (N=28) in one macaque study group between October 2007 and August 2008, and collected two faecal samples/month/individual (N=362) for parasitological examination. We used detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) to investigate long-range autocorrelation in separate, binary sequences of foraging (N=459) and locomotion (N=446) behaviour collected via focal sampling. All behavioural sequences exhibited long-range autocorrelation, and linear mixed-effects models suggest that increasing infection with the nodular worm Oesophagostomum aculeatum, clinically impaired health, reproductive activity, ageing, and low dominance status were associated with reductions in the complexity of locomotion, and to a lesser extent foraging, behaviour. Furthermore, the sequential complexity of behaviour increased with environmental complexity. We argue that a reduction in complexity in animal behaviour characterises individuals in impaired or 'stressed' states, and may have consequences if animals cannot cope with heterogeneity in their natural habitats.

The best genres of music for running and working out
When you're running (or doing any cardio exercise), it's important to find a rhythm. And there's no easier way to find one than by listening to music. However, choose the wrong playlist and you will slow down without even realising it. No one wants to listen to a power ballad when they're trying to do a 10K run. So, if you're tired of the same old songs, check out this guide. Here are the best genres of music for running and working out.
Top 40 dance hit
Look at the top 40 songs in the dance chart, and you're pretty much guaranteed the perfect running playlist. Dance music has a strong backbeat, which makes it perfect for cardio. You'll also find that a lot of the songs have a high tempo, so they will push you to move quicker. Plus, the great thing about top 40 dance hits is that you don't have to make your own playlist. Just put the radio on or download a top 40 playlist.
Hip-hop can be perfect for running and other forms of cardio. Choose the up-tempo tracks, and you'll find the perfect rhythm in no time. Old-school hip-hop is better suited to exercise because the tracks were aggressive and very rhythmic. New hip-hop is hit and miss. However, there are still some turns that work perfectly. Search for hip-hop running playlists, and you will find something to suit your needs.
Believe it or not, heavy metal is one of the best genres of music for exercise. The extremely high-tempo songs will push you to move faster and faster. Plus, the aggressive nature of the music will light a fire inside your soul. Be warned, though, if you get too into the music and start screaming along, you could end up giving someone the fright of their life.
Sports anthems
When a song becomes a sports anthem, it means it will live forever in the hearts and minds of fans. However, it's not that easy to pinpoint why these songs are chosen to represent certain sports or teams. What is certain is that they are all pretty inspiring, which makes them perfect for exercise. Then, after you've listened to your team's song, you're going to be in the perfect mood to put a bet on the Euros with Fotball EM 2021.
This one might not be as obvious as the others, but it's perfect for people that aren't fans of modern music. Big band jazz is one of the most upbeat genres around. Popular in the first half of the 20th century, this genre of music still has a big following, and there's plenty to sink your teeth into. You probably won't find a dedicated big band exercise playlist, so you might have to make your own.
Gypsy jazz
Gypsy jazz is another form of jazz music that originated in France. It's traditionally played on string instruments and without a drummer. The lack of a drummer means that the guitars have to play very rhythmically, which makes it a great alternative genre for exercise. If you're looking for an old-school genre of music that will keep your legs moving, this is definitely one to check out. There are plenty of good playlists on Spotify and Apple Music to get you started.

Historical Documents of Genealogical Interest to Researchers of North Carolina's Free People of Color
Tag: Scuffletown
Scuffletown avenger.
One of these curiously mixed people left his mark upon the history of the state — a bloody mark, too, for the Indian in him did not passively endure the things to which the Negro strain rendered him subject. Henry Berry Lowrey was what was known as a "Scuffletown mulatto," Scuffletown being a rambling community in Robeson county, N. C., inhabited mainly by people of this origin. His father, a prosperous farmer, was impressed, like other free Negroes, during the Civil War, for service upon the Confederate public works. He resisted and was shot to death with several sons who were assisting him. A younger son, Henry Berry Lowrey, swore an oath to avenge the injury, and a few years later carried it out with true Indian persistence and ferocity. During a career of murder and robbery extending over several years, in which he was aided by an organized band of desperadoes who rendezvoused in inaccessible swamps and terrorized the county, he killed every white man concerned in his father's death, and incidentally several others who interfered with his plans, making in all a total of some thirty killings. A body of romance grew up about this swarthy Robin Hood, who, armed to the teeth, would freely walk into the towns and about the railroad stations, knowing full well that there was a price upon his head, but relying for safety upon the sympathy of the blacks and the fears of the whites. His pretty yellow wife, "Rhody," was known as "the queen of Scuffletown." Northern reporters came down to write him up. An astute Boston detective who penetrated, under false colors, to his stronghold, is said to have been put to death with savage tortures. A state official was once conducted, by devious paths, under Lowrey's safeguard, to the outlaw's camp, in order that he might see for himself how difficult it would be to dislodge them. A dime novel was founded upon his exploits. The state offered ten thousand, the Federal government, five thousand dollars for his capture, and a regiment of Federal troops was sent to subdue him, his career resembling very much that of the picturesque Italian bandit who has recently been captured after a long career of crime. Lowrey only succumbed in the end to a bullet from the hand of a treacherous comrade, and there is even yet a tradition that he escaped and made his way to a distant state. Some years ago these mixed Indians and Negroes were recognized by the North Carolina legislature as "Croatan Indians," being supposed to have descended from a tribe of that name and the whites of the lost first white colony of Virginia. They are allowed, among other special privileges conferred by this legislation, to have separate schools of their own, being placed, in certain other respects, upon a plane somewhat above that of the Negroes and a little below that of the whites.

To find the suitable windshield ✅ for your R 1100 S isn't easy. The motorcycle should not loose its sporty look, but the driver should still be protected against wind. We've tried to consider these facts in the choise of our products. The Varioscreen, or even called Vario-Screen, is adjusable in height and inclination. This screen has an additional wind channel. Due to the wind channel and the adjustment the screen can be adapted to the individual needs of the driver. Our Spoilerscreen corresponds to the screen-type of the original screen, but has on the tail end a tearoff edge. The Touringscreen is on the back end equipped with a upwardly inclined wind deflector over the hole width. Therefore the wind pressure is deflected over the driver and a relaxed driving is possible.

Emergency Action Alert : Help Defend and Preserve the United Nations of Hip Hop...5 Pointz (NYC)
5 Pointz represents the living embodiment of the global Hip Hop culture and has an intangible value in this world and physical significance to the City of New York. Through its connection with graffiti, which is one of Hip Hop's 5 original elements 5 Pointz has a living historical and cultural value, serving as a global beacon of unity, hope and creativity and should be preserved as a NYC landmark.
Global Block believes that 5 Pointz represents the following 4 criterion for preservation status:
- Represents a masterpiece of human creative genius and the rich tradition of New York City Arts.
- Represents an important interchange of human values, over a span of time within NYC dedicated monumental arts and landscape design;
- Bears a unique and exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition which is living or which has disappeared;
- Is directly and tangibly associated with living traditions, ideas, and beliefs, with artistic and literary works of outstanding universal significance.
If you agree that 5 Pointz should be preserved as a NYC Landmark and converted into a protected Hip Hop/ Urban arts and educational museum and institute, then please join in this movement now!
Download the NYC Landmark Application, Complete it and Send it back to
meresone@5ptz.com
(Subject: I Support 5 Pointz)

Hey guys, Is it possible to make it an online application? That way it can be filled out online with out having to 1. download it 2. Then scanning it back in 3. To then be attached 4. And then e-mailing it back to you. By making it an online application you eliminate 3 steps, and then we can/will get a lot more feedback and responses.
G. Martinez
You're right, we've been looking for an effective "ad free" form. Do you have any suggestions for us? We can get it up on the site asap. Thanks.
Mr. Marinko link
this dude is absolutely right - I wont even try to sign it now - because of the may steps - Use change.org - that will help make it appeal to the masses.
PEACE (and hurry) godspeed
Peace. Mr. Marinko, change.org as with most other similar sites are for petitions. This process that we are current engaging is a legal battle for "landmark" designation from the City of New York. Hence, the extra steps are required for the forms to be officially, physically, submitted to the appropriate commissions. Sorry for the inconvenience but 5 pointz isn't a pop up thing and the fight to preserve and protect it won't be easy either. Still open to suggestions for another platform that can give us the legal actual form. Peace.
Wildblockrecords
bro evry online application right now are impossibile, all web site do online petition are only take all mail from people for send spam in your mail later... a online signature is not like you signature on the paper, i know we live in onther country we want do some, but online petition are bad choise... peace out!
This thread and process is independent of email harvesting services that use digital signatures for hype purposes only. We are not requiring any email or subscription to our network to get the form. Our interest is in promoting this step, which requires individually filled out NYC Landmark Applications, not online petitions in the first place.
In light of the building being buffed, white washed, we are asking that people continue to take the time and send back the form by Nov 30. Peace...

There is an error with regarding Urban Graffiti as a part of Hip Hop. It's the reverse. The trains were completely bombed before there was Hip Hop. Common sense dictates this. In the movie Saturday Night Fever, the only Disco really being played was The Bee Gees, etc; and the trains were bombed. Also, the movie The Warriors, the trains were bombed. But, there was no Hip Hop, just Rock N Roll. People started getting confused when movies like Style Wars came out. It gave the impression that Hip Hop and Graffiti went hand in hand and that is simply not true. Then comes Wild Style and Beat Street to add more to the confusion. Yes, some Hip Hopers were into Graff. But, Urban Graff was around way before Hip Hop was even thought of. During the 70's, when the trains were getting bombed inside and out, NY's favorite radio station was 77 WABC AM and Hip Hop was not even heard of. They only played Rock, Pop and a little Motown and a few hit singles like It's Just Begun were out. Oh and Do the Hustle. (they didn't have beatboxes back then) Later on Hip Hop came along and they grabbed graffiti and put it into the mix. If you were not there, then you don't know the histroy. In any event, 5 points should stay to repersent Urnan Art. NY Style!
G. Martinez link
Peace, RZ1 ROC,
The points you raise are right on! No dispute, from a person engaged in the elements and culture since before the term Hip Hop was codified and accepted as such. From Brooklyn.
All of the elements existed prior and emerged independently of each other and etc. Long story for a blog, and you seem to know. However, I also know a pioneer "writer" from NYC train era, who would disagree that you call what he did urban graffiti, they were "writers" he would argue. So semantics aside. Global Block celebrates 5 Pointz as the UN of Hip Hop Culture. It is the Graffiti Mecca too... but its much more than that alone. Thank you for supporting its defense and preservation! In solidarity! 1
No doubt. Yes, this subject could be debated and there is always going to a voice or two that might see things in their own perspective. I would have to say the majority of first and early second generation writers would agree that graffiti as we know it was out before a lot of things. That's not to say "B-Boying" was not out either. Because it was. It just had a smaller audience at the time.
in any event. The bottom line is regardless if you are solely a graffer hip hoper, it is important to keep the memory of how it started, why it started and other key elements. It's also important. Because both hip hop and graffiti art, etc; are on a global scale. So, we need something permanent here in New York to keep the roots alive and also keep the flow going.
Peace~
Lizzie link
I would like to help save 5Pointzs!!! It should be a protected site and receive government funding. Many graffiti writers are doing work in the community helping kids..voluntary xmen Ralphy, jef champion, sinxero, George Colon AIM etc etc its time the community gets something back!!!
Jeffrey Nolte link
Take a look at wufoo.com for easy to use online forms.
Thanks we'll work in that right away.
Thanks for the wufoo info... I think the problem is that we have to use a city document as the primary application for landmark status.
This is making noise all the way over here in Australia!
Props to 5TPZ!
RZI...right on point. Not only is it necessary to preserve the art form but its also necessary to correct, educate and re-educate people as we move forward through our place and time. Why? because if not, history will be rewritten and told from a completely bias point of view as most American historical facts are and have been for centuries.
Kim Turner
FEAMER.... (FMONER)
Thank you guys so much for re-educate me in the Urban Graffiti as a part of Hip Hop.
RZ1 ROC
Being graffiti was out way before the term Hip Hop was coined. Hip Hop is the last element of graffiti. In any event, we still need a permanent structure to keep the history alive.
Giles link
We must always support street artists-
I'm trying to fill out the application as requested, however as a PDF file I can not make any changes after I down load it. Please repost another link that might make this process a bit simpler. Many of us are ready to be mobilized into action- this is the time for action. Many thanks and I look forward to hearing back from you guys.

Bush Sends Condolences to Astronauts' Families - 2003-02-01
U.S. President George W. Bush Saturday sent his condolences to the families of the seven astronauts killed when the space shuttle Columbia broke up minutes before its landing. President Bush says U.S. space exploration will continue.
In a nationwide address, President Bush said all Americans share the grief of the families of the seven astronauts who died.
"This day has brought terrible news and great sadness to our country. At 9 o'clock this morning, mission control in Houston lost contact with our space shuttle Columbia," he said. " A short time later, debris was seen falling from the skies above Texas. The Columbia is lost. There are no survivors."
Mr. Bush says the astronauts knew the dangers of space flight, and faced them willingly. He says they will be missed all the more because of their courage and daring and idealism.
"In an age when space flight has come to seem almost routine, it is easy to overlook the dangers of travel by rocket and the difficulties of navigating the fierce outer atmosphere of the earth," Mr. Bush said.
The president told the astronauts' families that their loved ones will always have the respect and gratitude of the country. He said the cause in which they died will continue.
"Mankind is led into the darkness beyond our world by the inspiration of discovery and the longing to understand," the president said. "Our journey into space will go on. In the skies today, we saw destruction and tragedy, yet father than we can see, there is comfort and hope." A Bush administration official says, there is no indication that terrorism was involved, but the incident is being investigated fully. Flight controllers lost contact with the space shuttle at an altitude of about 61,000 meters, well beyond the range of surface-to-air missiles.
The president was notified of the disaster shortly after it happened, and spoke with NASA administrator Sean O'Keefe about 10:30 a.m. local time. Mr. Bush then decided to return to the White House from the presidential retreat at Camp David, where he was scheduled to spend the weekend.
Just before the president's arrival, the White House flag was lowered to half-staff.
Mr. Bush telephoned the families of the astronauts who were waiting for the shuttle's landing in Florida. White House spokesman Scott McClellan says, Mr. Bush "expressed love and appreciation for all who died," and said millions of Americans are praying for the families.
The president met with Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, who is coordinating emergency response teams. Mr. Ridge telephoned local officials in the states of Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Arizona about procedures for collecting debris from the fallen shuttle. The U.S. space agency is warning civilians to stay away from any debris, as it may contain hazardous materials.
The president also spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, as one of the astronauts was Israeli air force Colonel Ilan Ramon.
Mr. McClellan says, the president expressed his deep condolences to Mr. Ramon's family, and the prime minister extended his condolences to the American people.
Mr. Ramon was the first Israeli to fly in space. His presence on the flight brought about increased security, both at the launch and its expected landing.
President Bush also received calls of condolences from the leaders of Mexico, Canada, Russia, and France.

I have jerusalem artichokes growing in my back yard.
I got them because they are a perfect survival food...I didn't know they have insulin in them.
They spread like crazy, they outgrow any weed...and they're pretty tasty.
They taste like a potato that's a tiny bit sweet (but not a sweet potato).
Great ideas!! I did buy the wind=up radio some time ago. It's in the tsunami trunk in the car, but since I have a CB in the car, I should probably bring the radio back in here.
A book on local wild edibles is probably the very first thing we should have recommended!! You are so right!!! Dandelions make fine eating! Nasturtiums, which can be planted and grow easily, are edible, as well.
About the nettles - I've been stung by the darned things so many times - even fell backward one time in a patch while piddling in the woods. Bad memory, but hilarious to everyone who hears about it! I understand they have to be boiled multiple times to rid the sting, so I wonder what nutritional content is left.
Didn't know it's great for sleep, too, but not surprising - it is such a superfood with so many incredible properties. We really need to encourage everyone to buy the real thing.
NUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I don't want either one!! I only have a little beans and rice because they are cheap and would be filling if I were forced to eat them.
I have never seen anything burn as clean or as long as crisco shortening!!!
If I'm burning a wide candle, I'll add a little shortening to the top before I light it.
After an hour or 2 it's only burned the shortening & barely any of the candle wax.
That's amazing! What a cool idea! I don't eat shortening, and wouldn't, so I don't have it on hand. HOWEVER having a can of that handy would be perfect for candles, and then to rainproof your boots or shoes. For eating, olive oil and butter.
There is a way to get insulin from pigs and sheep. My mother learned to do this, but I would need to research the concept to be of any use. I suppose we could put this under butchering and alchemy.
I quite eating or drinking possessed sugars completely a couple years ago. Honey only for sweeteners. Period. 5 Stars OP for a great thread!!
By the way - honey lasts forever. If it turns to sugar, place container in hot water. Do not microwave as it changes the taste and probably the properties of it, as well.
Keep honey in glass, preferably, and in the dark. If you keep it in plastic, it will take up the taste of anything nearby. Yukky!
Thanks, Saved. So glad you joined us!
Definitely a book on wild edibles!
Good taste, yes. Nutrition - not a bit. However, we each need something we think of as comfort food, and also something that is a treat to us. I'd like to store some candy bars, just as a wonderful treat for occasional use.

Ryan Tubridy weighs in on 'Karen' debate over 'middle-aged women who give out about everything'
The 47-year-old didn't seem particularly fond of the type of people who he said typify Karens

Ryan Tubridy split his audience down the middle this morning as he took on the comical (but divisive) 'Karen' issue live on air.
The radio host had a chuckle at the expense of 'Karen' – the name given to a stereotypically privileged middle-aged woman who's fond of complaining – in an opening segment that left some amused and some nonplussed.
Tubs, a frequent critic of Netflix's The Crown for its sometimes loose grasp on historical detail, found himself sympathising with the show's creators for the backlash they face from "people like Karens."
In mischievous form, the Dubliner added: "The Karens haven't gone away, you see.
