DNS request timed out. Timeout was 2 seconds. Server: Unknown
If you are experiencing this problem – seeing this small message followed by correct DNS resolution, using nslookup – then this blog is for you. Here I will show how the problem was fixed. With it a bunch of other problems as well…
So here is the initial setup: we have two Windows Server 2008 R2 servers configured as AD DC and DNS holding each one primary AD-integrated zone for their respective domains. Two separate forests with single domains. Server Glasgow holds domain contoso.internal. Server London holds domain tailspin.com.
The servers are in separate subnets, connected via router. Ping to their respective NICs is successful. We configure two conditional forwarders for each domain, and there come the problems.
In the image below server Glasgow.contoso.internal is being configured with a conditional forwarder for domain tailspin.com and the external domain's DNS server. Pay close attention to the "attempting to resolve…" and "Validating…" states. Later the Server FQDN will be LONDON (mind you that is NOT a FQDN, but Microsoft knows better), and Validated will say something unreadable about "unable to validate…"
Still after this exercise if you click on OK you will be able to resolve London.tailspin.com to its correct IP address. What you actually cannot do is resolve tailspin.com. And vice versa from the opposite domain: Glasgow.contoso.internal can be resolved, contoso.internal not.
Has anyone paid attention to the remark on the bottom of the image? "blah, blah, if the appropriate reverse lookup zones and entries are not configured". Now that is great news. Since I was using a pure IPv4 routing (and obviously the conditional forwarders contained IPv4 addresses) I configured IPv4 reverse lookup zones. Alas to no avail. Also this timeout of 2 seconds before resolving the computer names was irritating. There were no appropriate answers at Microsoft's online support so I had to learn the hard way by error and trial: if you haven't deactivated the IPv6 protocol on your server you must
create an IPv6
reverse lookup zone and the PTR record for the NS record as well. Here is the difference in the second image:
The implications of not fully configured DNS settings might be very annoying. Domain replication outages, between domains in the same forest could be expected. Well, generally everything else that relies on FQDN-based network flow…
In my case I couldn't establish a forest trust between the two forests before eliminating the above problem: the error from the Trust Wizard was "The name you specified is not a valid Windows domain name. Is the specified name a Kerberos V5 realm?" You can follow all the conversation under http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserverDS/thread/bb7af3f4-6c05-4986-a001-283cbb023243 but essence is, before you start creating any sort of domain or forest trust, make sure that you can query is displaying at least one SRV and one A record (more is for redundant DNS servers):
(1) Type nslookup, and then press ENTER.
(2) Type set type=all, and then press ENTER.
(3) Type _ldap._tcp.dc. _msdcs .trusting.domain.com and then press ENTER.
(4) Type _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.trusted.domain.com and then press ENTER.
If no records are listed under (3) or (4) don't even start creating a Microsoft AD trust.
The moral of this story is – at least for me – if you are going to use IPv6 in your environment, manage it at full extent. If not, disable it totally. Leaving it "on its own" will bring you loads of gray hair. I just remembered one more IPv6 connected case when installing Exchange in a productive environment. But that's another story.

Prep Your Staten Island Toyota for Winter!
Staten Island winter is on its way. Is your vehicle prepped? If not, learn how to prep your Staten Island Toyota for winter by reading on.
The first part of your vehicle to prepare for the winter is your tires. Tires are one of the most important parts of our vehicles. Make sure your tires are at the correct tire pressure. To know what your vehicle's proper tire pressure is, check the inside of the driver's side door or the owner's manual. If your tires are under or over-inflated, you run the risk of getting a flat tire. You also want to check the tread on your tires. The better your tire's tread, the better your vehicle will be able to handle winter roads. Consider replacing your tires if the tread is too low. A new set of snow tires is a perfect way to prep your Staten Island Toyota for the winter months.
You may not think about them much, but your windshield wipers are actually a pretty significant part of your vehicle. During the winter, snow, frost, ice, and salt can decrease your visibility. To have a clear view of the road ahead, be sure your windshield wipers are functioning properly.
The colder the temperature, the harder your car battery has to work. Check up on your battery to be sure there is no collected corrosion. If your battery is too corroded or worn out, your engine won't start. Think about replacing your battery if it is older than three years. You might also want to carry jumper cables in your vehicle, just in case.
For help prepping your Toyota for another Staten Island winter, visit the service department at Island Toyota. Find the Island Toyota service garage at 111 Quintard Street in Staten Island today!

No less than 3 French Eurovision entrants are currently topping the French music charts! Amaury Vassili (2011), Anggun (2012) and Amandine Bourgeois (2013) entered the top album charts directly at #1 thanks to the album Génération Goldman Volume 2.
Following the huge success of the album Génération Goldman this year, over 725,000 copies sold, the release of an album Génération Goldman Volume 2 was inevitable and promised to success with circa 60,000 copies sold after one week. Both albums are made of covers of songs by Jean-Jacques Goldman, one of France's most popular songwriters, and performed by a collective of young and successful singers.
Most of the artists who took part in the first album are present on the second. They include 2 former French Eurovision entrants: Amaury Vassili, the young tenor who entered the contest in Düsseldorf in 2011 and Amandine Bourgeois this year's French representative in Malmö ; and also a newcomer, the 2012 French entrant of Indonesian origin Anggun.
The album contains 15 tracks including 2 collective songs. Amandine Bourgeois recorded the song Un, deux, trois with singer Merwan Rim and Mani Hoffman, while Amaury Vassili and Anggun sing together with Damien Sargue the track Né en 17 à Leidenstadt. It is also worth noting the participation of Corneille who penned the 2006 French entry for Virginie Pouchain.

A few days ago came across a tweet mentioning a number of universities selling basketball jerseys referencing the numbers of their best players. This references that the school can profit off the sale, yet an individual athlete cannot as it's a NCAA rule violation.
The issue at the forefront is whether athletes deserve to get paid in a traditional sense. For example instead of Duke Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski offering a tremendously talented point guard a full scholarship, he has a one-year contract for him once he turns 18, for the amount of $100,000 dollars. This will give the freshman the opportunity to pay his full tuition, room and board, meals, tutors and spending money for his first year of college.
What happens in year two? He either enters the NBA Draft or stays at Duke. Yet, since he's no longer a freshman and has one college season under his belt what happens? Does he get a raise say to $150,000 or is there away to negotiate even more money? What happens if there's a disagreement? Will the point guard then sit out until his demands get met?
This applies to other sports on campus as well.It also raises concerns about how non-revenue generating sports will get paid and Title IX also comes into play. In other words student athletes getting paid in a traditional sense is highly unlikely and has very little chance of happening.
College athletes already get full scholarships which means free room and board, classes, books, meals and tutors. Partial scholarships are also given, which pays for part of the costs associated with attending their chosen university. It also creates a competitive disadvantage to smaller schools where Duke can afford to pay a player who would normally start just to sit on the bench.
Athletes do have multiple funds available to use that help with clothing, emergency travel, educational and medical expenses. There's even one that's available to those who may no longer be playing in their respective sports and allows access to those who need to travel home, computers, school supplies, medical expenses for spouses or dependents, summer school, degree-completion programs and professional development.
Meaning that the media has done a great job of perpetuating the myth of the broke student athlete or trying to explain the rationale on a situation like that of quarterback Terrelle Pryor who accepted money for selling his own memorabilia.
The NBA implemented what is now called the "one and done rule" which meant players entering the NBA Draft must be at least 19-years of age or one-year removed from their high school graduating class. As a result more players than ever decided to come out of college early and as a result the NBA product has been the worst it has ever been.
Adam Silver who recently took over as commissioner after David Stern is looking to change the rule to two years removed from high school and an age requirement of 20-years of age. For the NFL their rules have always been three years out of high school due to the physical nature of the game and for MLB a player can get drafted out of high school, yet usually will decide to play in college and once enrolled at a four-year school must complete their junior year to enter the draft again.
More importantly the question becomes if such a small percentage of athletes end up playing professionally why is the issue of payment such a big deal now? When the reality is the NCAA will never budge on their stance.

Everyday Philomena thinks of her son. A son that was taken from her at a young age while she was staying at the abby. Something that was a frequent thing there – to give the children from these young girls up for adoption to American couples looking to adopt Irish children.
Her heartbreak and constant thoughts about what has happened to her song Anthony is her driving force.
Sixsmith, a journalist, is intrigued by her story when a woman (later found to be her daughter) approaches Sixsmith and tells him of her mothers story.
Together, Philomena and Sixmith go on a journey to America to find her son.
They face more heartbreak as they discover his fate.
A journey that leads them back to Ireland, she discovers little pieces of her sons life; his partner, his sister, his job and life. And little by little she gets to know her son. With the untimely and unfortunate end of his life, Philomena is forced to come to terms with it.
I thought this movie was a mixture of thought provokedness, funny and heartbreaking all in one. Along with the religious aspect of it all – her life at the Abby, the "evil" nuns and her inner struggle with God.
The storyline was very interesting, as it should be considering its based on a true person. You could really feel the emotion in it.
Coogan and Dench were a great match! Both played their roles well and the chemistry was great.

Reviews of books generally exhibit a relatively fixed pattern: the reviewer guides the reader through a tour of the book's backstory, then its contents and main arguments, then of course a few of its shortcomings, and concluding with its recommendation (at times lukewarm, at times enthusiastic).
Just as reviews of books generally fall into a pattern, so do books themselves. No Laughing Matter, however, does not: it is unique and idiosyncratic; it has few (if any) predecessors setting its precedents; it is unstable in its genre, switching back and forth like a gestalt image, some moments looking like 'political imperative' (as the editor, Unnamati Syama Sundar states is his task), which operates in the world of action, and other moments looking like 'serious scholarship' (as its foreword writer, Suraj Yengde describes it), which operates in more contemplative spaces, like museums and universities.
If the book eludes usual patterns, then why not its review? So instead of creeping toward a thoughtful recommendation by way of a narrative enumerating its qualities, I am going to just say it straight, outright, here at the outset: You. Must. Read. This. Book.
Not because it's a masterpiece—it has its shortcomings. But because it is a treasure. With over 122 cartoon images culled from archives, it is a feast for the eyes. And with so many triggering concepts (like hate speech, or atrocities) and so many flashpoint subjects (like freedom of expression versus defamation; or, 'take it easy, it's just a joke' versus downright humiliation), it elicits irrepressible emotions in the reader, and that in turn leads its affected reader to reflection, doubt, reconsideration, new thoughts, and even insights.
People are talking about this book in many different forums—journal reviews, public discussions and debates, and articles in the press. All this is well merited. If you have yet to hear about it, the gist of it is that its editor, Sundar (a cartoonist himself, and a doctoral student well versed in the cultural politics of visual arts), has collected together as many (anglophone) cartoons that he could find that captioned Ambedkar, and presents them chronologically, along with editorial comments that contextualise them historically, and evaluative comments that critique them socially and aesthetically. In addition, there is a 30-page editorial introduction explaining the overall project, and a six-page foreword. These deserve praise too: both are pensive but lucid, moving but well-reasoned, modest but assertive.
Sundar's own point of view throughout this magical history tour is transparent and unmasked. He writes: "Shankar or any cartoonist was not quite free to give expression to his freedom of expression. Working for a wage, a cartoonist often obliges his masters. Besides, given their social and caste background, love for Gandhi and the nationalist cause, an easy contempt for the Dalit cause and Ambedkar came almost naturally to many." (p.39)
This 'easy contempt', Sundar claims, is a sort of unifying feature throughout all the diverse cartoon depictions of Ambedkar from 1932 to 1956. And Yengde adds in his foreword: "So many Dalit leaders are profiled in the exact same manner in print and web media outlets even now." (p.19)
Sundar includes among the cartoonists not only the renowned Shankar (from Shankar's Weekly), but many other masters, like Enver Ahmed (from Hindustan Times and Pioneer) and R.K. Laxman (from Times of India). He also includes propagandists like Ravindra (Organiser), which creates a bit of ambiguity in what is collected here. At least, it begs the question, What, exactly, does Sundar understand by this term 'cartoon'?
We usually take 'cartoon' to signify simple, satirical drawings that attempt to humorously exaggerate their subject, while aiming to capture the essence of an event or issue (the latter explaining why newspapers publish them). In these, the comic element relies on shared experiences, values and mores in order for the humour to work. In the case of the Ambedkar cartoons, one of the shared values across much of the readership is casteism.
But there are also propaganda cartoons, which aim to manipulate their target audience and change their values, or, alternatively, which derisively exaggerate their subject aiming to foment hatred or strong feelings. These deploy vilifying caricatures to achieve their aim. It would be a mistake to totally collapse one form into the other form, as No Laughing Matter sometimes does. And yet, what is so engaging about this book is that, by blurring the lines between these two distinct forms, it obliges the reader to try to reestablish that sharp line herself. This task turns out to be much harder than you might think.

This post comes from my colleague Griselda Barraza. As part of the work we are doing to include independent smallholder coffee farmers in Fair Trade, Griselda interviewed Fabian to learn more about his participation in the SCAA show back in April.
Fabian Andres is 26 years old and he is already a leader in his community. He inherited his farm from his father. Fabian Andres' father bought his farm by saving every penny he earned since childhood. Even as a child, Fabian Andres' father knew he wanted to buy a coffee farm.
Fabian Andres lives in the town of San Pablo, in the Department of Nariño, in Colombia, with his wife and other close relatives. Years of armed conflict in Nariño have affected the livelihoods of many farming communities. He and other farmers in his community are part of our pilot programs to bring the benefits of Fair Trade to millions of independent smallholders in coffee. He was among the group of farmers that were invited by Fair Trade to attend the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) conference in Boston earlier this year.
Many months have gone by since the last time I saw Fabian Andres. As I remember, he was always thinking of ways to help the group of farmers in his community. At the show he met with roasters and importers and built business relationships that could help him support his community. I recently talked with him over the phone and asked him about his experience at the SCAA show – now that he had had more time to reflect on it. The way he answered my questions helped me understand why he is a leader among his peers.
What were some of the most important things you learned during the SCAA show in Boston?
"Well, I have to say that I learned from the stories that the other farmers and workers told. Many of the stories touched my heart in a very deep way. I know there are small farmers and farm workers all over the world; I also know that many of them are struggling to make means happen. The story of my friend Leonardo from Nicaragua was pretty impressive. Leonardo is a coffee farm worker who decided to change his life and worked his way around any difficult situation. He works as a coffee picker all week long in the fields, and head out to the city to learn computers skills and English during the weekends. Leonardo taught me that just because I work in the fields I do not have to be disconnected from development and technology. Learning is available to whoever wants to take advantage of it. I might have to make some sacrifices along the way, but it will be worth it. Leonardo's audacity has taught me a valuable lesson and it has helped me to re-evaluate my life."
Has going to the SCAA show helped you in other ways, if so how?
"I can project myself better now. Before this event I didn't know where I was heading. I knew I had to work and I was doing just that: working. I'm now projecting myself with goals in mind; knowingly that I'm capable of learning new things and I can bring that new knowledge to my community. I realize how many things move around coffee. I can learn all those new things and make my experience of being a coffee farmer more engaging and interesting. This experience has also helped me to get to know myself better; I can now reflect on my life as smallholder farmer, find what I like and dislike and work to improve those things that need to be improved. "
Have your shared your experience with other farmers from your region?
"I've shared my experiences with some of my neighbors and with the group of farmers which whom we have our monthly meetings. They were very happy to hear my experience, but they also expressed their desire to experience it on their own. I think that by sharing my experience with this group of farmers they are starting to focus and re-think their future. The coffee world is so big and it has so much to offer; it is not just about planting and harvesting coffee, but it goes beyond that. We can create new relationships that can last forever. Through the supply chain, farmers, importers, exporters and buyers, we can all share our processes and things we like or don't like and what needs to be improved, such as flavors, quality etc. It's a universal exchange of knowledge that benefits everyone in the chain. Even those who don't work directly with coffee, but belong to a coffee community will see the benefits thru social projects. Everyone should be aware that all the benefits and all the knowledge we are acquiring comes from coffee."
What do you envision for the future?
"I want to have a life project. I want to learn about every process within coffee. I want to learn new concepts. I want to be part of everything that relates to coffee from planting, cupping to distributing the coffee. All of it. I want to be a part of all of it. After I learn all I can learn, I want to bring that knowledge and share it with the farmers in my community. I want to start more community projects."
What tools do you need to use to start working on this?
"For now I'm in the early stage. I'm learning, reading and informing myself. I'm working with a friend to learn the art of cupping. I need to teach my palate to identify flavors. Once I'm skilled in cupping, I will bring that new knowledge to my community. And once I am able to bring all this new knowledge to my community I know that peace will come to my land. Yes, peace. I believe that if I share my knowledge and make myself available to my community, peace will come. It has to start with me and others will follow. "
"There is this popular phenomenon in Colombia. Many of those who live in the lowest social stratus think that only the Mayor or the President in power would be able to provide them with a house. When I see this situation, I think that as a community we can get together and with the proceeds from our coffee we can generate our own resources. We can create community wealth that would allow us to create developmental programs, helping those in the community with the greatest need."
"Whenever people hear that you work, they immediately associate that statement with "generating income", but when you work for the community, you don't necessarily create money, but you do create solid relationships within your community and that by itself creates peace."
Do you have any suggestions for us? for future events?
"Yes, let farmers and farm workers exhibit their projects in a deeper way so we can hear what projects they have worked on and learn from that. In Colombia the subsidy for poor families is too small, and people are dying of hunger. I will want to show you that my community will not die, because we'll all be working hard and set the example that working together can indeed bring peace."

We were hosted last weekend by St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco for some big breeze training in their J/22s to prepare for the J/22 Worlds this August in Kingston, Ontario. We are going to train out of College of Charleston August 2-5 in J/22s as our final preparation for the big week from August 19-25th in Canada.
However, we need a J/22 Trailer. We were donated a J/22 for our own use, but it didn't come with a trailer. We are looking to have one donated or one for purchase prior to the J/22 worlds in August. We would need the trailer to be in or around Charleston on the 15th of August!?! Is there any J/22 sailor out there who could help us??
In the meantime, we are looking to expand the program to not only compete in the J/22 open competitions, but also looking to get into some slightly bigger boats for our team. We have expanded our team and would like to get into a donated J/80, J/105, J/109, or J/111. I am seeking out potential donations to Warrior Sailing and strategically place these boats in location throughout the US for our team to attend and compete in various classes. We would also be developing and building adaptive equipment for these boats as we progress." If any J/Sailors can help, please contact Ben Poucher - email@example.com/ ph 269-598-7119

1. I am, of course, thankful for my little side-kick. Wyatt continues to amaze me every single day. He is a giant ball of light and energy that brightens every day. Nothing can prepare you for the overwhelming, unconditional love that comes when you become a parent.
I love watching him learn and grow. His curiosity is as big as he is recently. It's amazing that at only two and half, I can start to see the wonderful person he is going to become. He has a heart of gold and is stubborn as an ox.
Plus, I am super fortunate that I got a son and pet lion all in one. It doesn't get better than that!
2. This guy:
Brad is my best friend and biggest cheerleader. He has the ability to make me laugh under any circumstances. He puts up with my crazy (we all have a little bit of the crazy in us, right?). He lifts me up, but talks me down when needed. I honestly don't know what I ever did without him. And most importantly, he is an amazing daddy.
3. My brothers. Two of the best guys on the planet; hands down.
4. I am thankful to live, in what I believe, is one of the most beautiful places on earth: Wyoming. Most people are not lucky enough to have this practically in their backyard:
5. And last but not least, I'm eternally grateful for the wonderful friend that posted this little gem on Facebook this morning. I'm fairly certain it's the greatest thing I've ever seen...

Reading comprises several processes, including decoding, fluency, and comprehension.
They are vital to the learning and development of all students.
Phonological awareness involves recognizing the sounds of words. Generally, words are divided into both sounds and syllables, represented as graphemes (the smallest meaning unit in a writing system).
With proper phonological awareness, a child is able to pay attention to the sounds of speech, and understand how these sounds translate into print, where there is a one-to-one correspondence to the sound and grapheme. As a child learns phonics and sight words (print patterns which do not follow rules and must be memorized), they build the foundation for literacy.
Once a child learns to read basic phonics, sight words, word families, syllable constructions, and morphology (stems, root words, suffixes etc.), learning more complex phonics patterns and additional sight words are the next steps in cracking the code. Understanding and practicing the relationship between letter and sound is key to decoding words. As reading fluency grows, the child's understanding of the unit of sounds in a language also grows (graphemes, morphemes, and phonemes). The child begins reading automatically, freeing mental energy for reading comprehension and the next stages of learning.
Reading is a complex process, involving interconnected elements. Each is important to the development of strong skills. The last–understanding the whole concept of a text, book or newspaper– is best achieved when the child understands language, has developed phonological recognition, has prior knowledge of the language, understands the relationship between sounds and letters, and has developed a good vocabulary. Reading comprehension is also tied to cognitive processes: Making inferences and connections, understanding character motivations, and problem-solving.

What Makes You Special?
Many people are too busy today trying to fit themselves into the image of other people. This ranges from physical appearance to dressing mannerism right to extreme character imitations.
And although I can understand the underlying feelings of insecurity which trigger such actions, still it goes without saying that this 'unhealthy' habit can be detrimental to your one big asset: recognizing and developing your uniqueness.
Some people are either afraid to show who they really are, because they believe that other people are better than them. Or as a result of lack of inner consciousness, they are just not aware of their own special gifts.
First of all, there is nothing wrong with being who you are. In fact, the more you are willing to be yourself, the better is your chance of being authentic and special. Then no amount of any artistical imitation will ever make a strong indelible impact on other people or makes you feel better about yourself. It is better to be a first class 'you' than a third rate imitation of some celebrity. At least this way, you will be upholding the true spirit of individualism and helping along the course of evolution.
Secondly, regardless of how or what you may at present think of yourself, you are still special and that is what other people want to see and experience in you. Psycho-logically, people are more attracted to someone who is genuine. So don't try to be what you are not.
If you are still in doubt about what is special about you, start by asking yourself these 3 questions:
1.How do people react to me when I am with them?
2. When in a crowd, am l more interested in voicing my opinion or do I listen intently to others?
3. When decisions are made, do I accept to go along with the majority, or is upholding my values more important to me?
Each of these questions can prompt you to look deeper into yourself and recognise what you may be missing: your special abilities.
Your strength lies in your inherent abilities. For these are the gifts of the spirit, the real you.
Learn to know what your assets are and what makes you stand out from the crowd.
The best way to do this is to focus on what you know gives you passion, joy and deep satisfaction. I once had to give a friend some new perspectives about herself. She complained constantly about how people around her were getting along while she felt left behind. One day as I istened again to her lamentations, it suddenly dawned on me that she had been focusing on other peoples' lives instead of on her own.
I pointed this out to her and encouraged her to look into herself and her life. She was to find out what she could genuinely admire about herself and recognise as her inherent strength.
Well, it didn't take her long to turn the table. She decided that her life hadn't been such "a disaster" after all. In fact she came up with what made her to be such a great friend to have around. Her exceptional ability to remain calm and compose in the face of difficult situation.
Once you know what it is that makes you special, keep grooming it until it shines out in all its glory. Thus the saying "who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying" becomes your true shield and emblem.

|Stupid Mario Brothers
|Season 5, Episode 71
|Air date
|April 23, 2012
|Written by
|Rich Alvarez
|Directed by
|Rich Alvarez
|Episode Guide
| Previous:
"It's Never a good time to ignore your girlfriend. EVER!"
| Next:
"Not these Ninja's Again!"
"Imported Sunflowers" is the 11th episode of the fifth season of Stupid Mario Brothers and the 71st episode overall.
Mario searches for Link, while Luigi deals with a scattered team.
Coming soon!
Luigi is with Waluigi, reading to him in bed, but Waluigi's constant narcoleptic spasms keep interrupting the story. Eventually, Luigi gives up trying to read to Waluigi without being interrupted and leaves.
Ryu and Ken are sitting in a park, trying to think of what to do until the ninja attack. Ken suggests they go do something fun, but Ryu objects to this, claiming that warriors do not have fun. Ken then suggests they pretend they are back in the time before they were warriors. Ken tells Ryu that he knows of a place where they will be able to relax and not think about the war. However, Ryu has his mind fixated on danger and fighting and only goes when Ken caters to his assumptions.
Meanwhile, Zubashi and Gangles are still waiting for their orders and are rather bored. Gangles suggests they go see a movie. When Zubashi asks him which movie they should see, Gangles suggests several, all of which Zubashi turns down. However, when Gangles suggests The Adventures of Tintin, Zubashi agrees to this.
Later, Nox Decious meets with Bowser, who doesn't want anything to do with Decious' plan to wipe out the Darkness. Decious tries to convince Bowser of the potential danger of the Darkness, but his ignorance makes him not believe Decious. He says he doesn't need Bowser's help, but will want to be a part of it. The Koopa king replies that it goes against Ganon's plan, therefore he refuses. Decious accepts Bowser's decision, but tells him not to speak of it to Ganon. Bowser informs Decious that Ganon wants to speak with them. The two of them leave to meet with Ganon.
Luigi encounters Donkey Kong and Yoshi with a mission for them. He asks them to infiltrate Decious' base and find out how many ninjas they have at their disposal. The two agree to do it and Luigi thanks them. Meanwhile, Waluigi is still having spasms in bed.
Nox Decious and Bowser meet with Ganon as he requested, informing him that they are down to just the three of them, which is irrelevant, as they are the only ones that mattered. Ganon replies that he knows this, and that nothing that has happened thus far was against his wishes. This surprises Bowser and Decious, and Ganondorf asks them if they really think he'd send a helpless girl or a businessman to do his bidding. When Decious asks him to elaborate, Ganon replies that neither of them could begin to understand his design, but explains the basics to them. He informs the two that Pauline was able to defeat both Wario and Mona without killing either of them, as her attack on Mona succeeded in causing tension between the two, causing them both to leave furiously. Ganon planned for this to happen, as it was the very purpose Pauline was meant to serve. Without Wario, the Mushroom Force stands no chance. Decious reminds Ganon that they still have Mario, but Ganon informs Decious that Mario has been gone for some time searching for a way to kill him, but won't as the only person who can is sealed in the Dark Realm. Bowser asks Ganon about what the second basic thing he was going to tell them is, to which Ganon replies, "All in good time." and walks away.
Mario, Brock, and Gary locate the origin of the horse sound they heard, initially finding nothing, but they then find Talon sleeping against a tree. They wake him up and he asks them if they have seen his daughter Malon, which they haven't. Mario then asks him if he knows Link, which Talon does as Malon used to have a crush on him and subsequently gave Link his horse Epona. However, he informs Mario that Link has been sealed in the Dark Realm for some time by Ganon. Mario is saddened to hear this, but asks Talon if he knows where the Master Sword is. Talon replies that it should have resurfaced in the Lost Woods, a half-day's walk away. Mario thanks Talon after turning down his offer for some Lon Lon Milk and the three leave for the Lost Woods.

- In this episode, Brock opens his eyes and looks right into the camera from 6:45 to 6:58.

When we have issues with our roofs it may be a frightening thought. The roof is the pain part of the house that protects us from the rain, elements and dangers. When a leak or other signs of damage begin to appear the odds are that it has been doing this for a while. This can lead to costly repairs and if you don't have homeowners insurance can be a costly proposition. However, before things get too bad here are some tips and tricks that you can use to ensure that the flat roofing repair st. petersburg job you are facing won't break the bank.
Check your roof regularly
The first step to roof maintenance is to stay on top of it. When you are outside cutting the grass or just when you come home and are approaching your house take a minute or two to look at your house from a distance. Examine the roof and other areas of the house and see if you see any obvious signs of needed repair.
Look for shingles
After a storm you may find shingles in your yard. These shingles may have been blown off of your roof. Taking some time to climb up on the roof and look may allow you to spot problem areas that can be easily fixed.
Careful with holiday decorations
During the holidays we may want to put lights on the house, reindeer in a sleigh on the roof and much more. When putting up these decorations make sure that you are not doing any damage to your roof. Also, take a look around and see if you find anything unusual. Look for signs of animals, water damage around the chimney and lose shingles. Taking a little time to do an inspection will pay off later.

It was a time of many "firsts" when Mayor Turner led a 30-member delegation to Cuba last September. It was the first trade mission of the Turner administration, the first time any Houston mayor has traveled to Cuba while in office, and Houston's first major diplomatic outreach effort in Cuba in over 50 years.
"We can't say that Houston is a world-class city unless we are reaching out and establishing international relationships," said Mayor Turner. "With the changes brought about by the Obama administration and the new direct flight between Houston and Cuba, there are opportunities to explore in the areas of healthcare, sports, energy, trade and the arts."
Attracted by the long-term value of these opportunities, other members of the Houston delegation included Greater Houston Partnership Board Chair Jamey Roots, representatives from the Texas Medical Center, Houston Port Authority, Houston Airport System, Houston Community College, Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and United Airlines. Council Member Davis, Council Member Martin and Council Member Robinson also accompanied Mayor Turner, reflecting the interests of their respective constituencies.
"We want Cuba to think of Houston as its preferred partner and gateway to America," said Greater Houston Partnership President & CEO Bob Harvey.
The potential for Houston's trade relationship is certainly there, as exports from Texas to Cuba are expected to increase from $2 billion a year to over $18.8 billion, primarily in oil, machinery, agricultural products, iron and steel, which will serve to benefit Houston's thriving international port.
While business opportunities are promising as long-term opportunities, there are still many developments that need to take place at the federal level before they can be realized. As the Mayor said in a later interview, "This trip was all about beginning the dialogue that will lead to bigger things down the road."
Since the trip, Houston's Bush Intercontinental opened its direct Houston to Havana flight, becoming one of 12 US cities with air traffic to Cuba. As a result of the trade mission, Cuban officials from the Ministry of Transport are set to engage in a reciprocal visit to Houston in late January to explore opportunities with the Port of Houston Authority.

Equinox. A beautiful and tranquil autumn day at the farm: we enjoyed home-made organic cooking, watching the contented animals, wandering the trail of artworks… down the old railway cutting, between the trees, up and over the lush green fields of South Devon… fleecy white clouds drifting overhead in a gentle blue sky.
Here are a few photos to give just a taster of the delights of this years DOS event at Organic Arts, including the apple labyrinth and artworks by Christine Duff and Mandy Biscoe.
The last Open Day is tomorrow, Sunday 23rd Sep – when the folks will be there to welcome you between 11 and 6pm. See more about Organic Arts on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/OrganicArtsIde


text: Aka Heroes Without Uniforms. We've run into a wolfpack. Merchant Marine sailors First Mate Joe Rossi (Humphrey Bogart) and Captain Steve Jarvis (Raymond Massey) survive the sinking of SS Northern Star by German U-boat U-37 en route from Halifax. After 11 days drifting they are rescued. Steve spends time with his wife Sarah (Ruth Gordon), while Joe meets and marries singer Pearl O'Neill (Julie Bishop). At the union hall, merchant seamen, including the Northern Star survivors, spend their time waiting to be assigned to a new ship. Over a round of poker, Johnnie Pulaski (Dane Clark) jokes about getting a shore job and reveals his fear of dying at sea. The others shame him into signing along with them on another ship. Alfred "Boats" O'Hara (Alan Hale, Sr.) is tracked down by his wife, who has apparently not seen him since he was rescued. She angrily serves him with a divorce summons. O'Hara, knowing he is headed back to sea, gleefully tears it up, saying Them 'Liberty Boats' are sure well named! When they are charged with getting supply vessel Seawitch to Russian allies in Murmansk as part of a sea convoy and the group of ships comes under attack from U-37 again, Rossi and Jarvis are motivated by the opportunity to strike back at the Germans but now have to dodge Luftwaffe bullets too … For a sailor's wife this war is just another storm. Tremendously exciting action adventure paying tribute to the men of the US Merchant Marine. The evocation of a group under pressure with their particular avocations and tics is expertly done and the characterisation is a model for war movies. There are all kinds of devices and diversions, from an onboard kitten and his successor; to envy of a Naval officer Cadet Ezra Parker (Dick Hogan); and the usual carping about the quality of the nosh. With a screenplay by John Howard Lawson (from a story by Guy Gilpatric) and additional dialogue by A.I. Bezzerides and W. R. Burnett you can be sure there are some riproaring lines: A trip to perdition would be like a pleasure cruise compared with what we're going into. Wonderfully shot by Ted McCord with marvellous effects, you would never guess that this was shot on the studio lot due to wartime restrictions. Directed by Lloyd Bacon with uncredited work by Byron Haskin and Raoul Walsh. I've got faith – in God, President Roosevelt and the Brooklyn Dodgers – in the order of their importance!

Growing up, I was a scrawny kid. I weighed 90 pounds until high school, where I ballooned to an amazing 125.
I was below average in height, at 5'5″, which increased to 5'7″, even though I was never supposed to reach a height of more than 5'2″.
My feet were small enough that it was quite tough to find shoes. Size 7.5 in men's was tough to come by. And if you had a 27″ waist you were thought to be 6′ or better. If you had a 32″ inseam, then you were expected to weigh at least 200. So I would buy my stuff in the youth section. After a while, I realized that I was the perfect size for how I felt, and would buy what I could in the juniors section. This was not easy in the days of Jordache and others, wanting to embellish every article of clothing. But I managed.
Throughout high school, I became obsessed with trying to gain weight. Perhaps it was the non stop mocking coming from both genders while wearing a "muscle" concert shirt. Perhaps it was trying as best I could to fit in with the jocks in school, knowing that no girl paid any attention to the skinny kid, though I ended up garnering more attention for my breakdancing skills and play performance than I ever thought possible. People thought I was funny. I was quick witted, semi-intelligent, outspoken when pushed and known to be the worst student of math in the history of Yorktown.
Despite my size, I also became known for stepping in the middle of jocks who were picking on the few kids smaller than myself, and even the football coach mistreating a special needs student (telling him he should use Nair so he wouldn't have to shave his face). I remember telling the student, Dave, not to ever try that and then directing my attention back to the coach and cussing him out in front of his "boys" and the rest of the student body that was by the gym.
I drank my home brewed protein shakes, which were really nothing more than every sugar product you could lay hands on, stirred into milk. I took weight lifting, and ended up with my best bench press of 300 pounds, my best squat at 350. I maintained a record breaking 2″ vertical jump but could fly through the peg climb. And at the end of it all, I still weighed in at 125. It just so happened that the coach from the aforementioned cussing out was my weightlifting teacher. Oddly enough, he didn't retaliate against that stand. I was sure he would. Perhaps I gained a miniscule amount of respect from him, maybe I just wasn't worth the effort.
As time progressed, and I knew where my life would end up, not necessarily permanently as I thought I could maintain a part time lifestyle with the woman I loved more deeply than life, I began to love my shortcomings. I was below average height and weight for a guy, but for a girl I was slightly above average in height, which some find awesome, while still being on the short side of models who would tower over me at 6′. I was thin, so that leant itself perfectly as well, since clothing lines are made for those women with no hips, though that is starting to change. At 5'7″ I can easily blend in, or to be taken a bit more notice of, I'll wear heels.
Everything I hated about myself while growing up is now the perfect fit for who I am becoming. Well, except for that damned voice that dropped overnight in 7th grade. Much better but far from where I want it.

It's a wonder if the UFC knew about this and made the Derrick Lewis/DC fight because of it. Derrick Lewis mentioned he didn't think he deserved a title fight, so why would the UFC make it? Well it seems like they knew they needed a main event.
On the subject of his opponent, Nate Diaz, what will his next move be? It's not smart business for Diaz to take a replacement fight, he's in the realm of big fights, some people even thought Poirier wasn't big enough. You know what? Screw it, give Diaz the Khabib fight, you can bash it all you want but you know you're going to watch it.
Also lets be real, this card is fine, because it still has its main event. DC and the Black Beast is going to be fun and fun is just what the UFC needs right now. The Black Beast may not be the super hero the UFC deserves right now, but its the one they need.

It's weird how fortunes can change over the course of a single year. Take Marvel Studios for example. These guys were absolutely on top of the world in 2014 after putting out their weightiest movie to date in Captain America: Winter Soldier and their most successfully lighthearted one in Guardians of the Galaxy. They seemed to be operating at the height of their power… and then 2015 happened. The year started off with The Avengers: Age of Ultron, which certainly had spirit but was unquestionably an overstuffed mess of a movie that caved in under its own weight. It has its defenders but it was a bad sign as it suggested that things were going to get really convoluted in this series. Then there was Ant-Man which was… just kind of forgettable. It was alright I guess but in a world where they're making half a dozen comic book movies a year it didn't stand out and felt more like the kind of super hero movie that would have been made circa 2003 than one from the biggest name in the business. I would be discouraged by all of that, but crazy as it sounds given how many of these things we already have, the one year delay really just kind of made me hungry for a Marvel film that actually delivered and given that the Russo Brothers more than delivered with Winter Soldier all signs pointed to Captain America: Civil War being the movie that would do that.
Our story this time is set off when the newly formed Avengers headed by Captain America (Chis Evans) and featuring some second tier heroes like Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), and Black Widow (Scarlet Johansen) on a mission in Lagos where Crossbones (Frank Grillo) is attempting to steal biological weapons. This mission goes badly however when Crossbones attempts to set off a suicide vest and Scarlet Witch is forced to use her powers to levitate him away from the crowd but misses her target and sends the explosion into a populated building. The fallout of this leads world leaders to call for an accord which will regulate the Avengers and place them directly under UN control, a move which Captain America believes will put the world in danger. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), however, believes that this is a necessary check on the team's activities and this causes a fracture among the heroes that is accelerated when Bucky "The Winter Soldier" Barnes (Sebastian Stan) reemerges and seemingly kills the king of Wakanda. When Captain America tries to save Barnes from police sent to shoot on sight he's declared a fugitive and soon every hero is forced to choose sides.
Captain America: Civil War is in kind of an unusual place in the Marvel Cannon in that it is ostensibly a follow-up to what is clearly their best movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but the sheer number of superheroes in it makes it feel a whole lot like it's also a third Avengers movie. Pretty much every Marvel hero is here except for Thor, The Incredible Hulk, and The Guardians of the Galaxy and Iron Man has a huge role in it to the point where he could be considered the protagonist just as much as Captain America. There are no fewer than twelve costumed heroes involved in this plot including two (Black Panther and Spider-Man) who haven't been introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe before and in light of how much of a mess Age of Ultron and a certain other superhero team-up movie from earlier this year, that was a pretty bad sign. If anything Captain America: Civil War deserves a lot of credit for being as coherent and well-paced as it is given the immense amount of content it needs to pack into its 147 minute runtime. The movie certainly moves along at a brisk pace and it wisely opts not to overuse certain characters and to mostly focus on the conflict between Iron Man and Captain America.
The basis for this whole conflict seems a bit odd to me. The incident in Lagos would seem to be the main catalyst for all this division but more often characters cite the Sokovia incident from Avengers: Age of Ultron and the casualties there as a major influencer for people's anxieties over superpowered people having free reign. This is curious, in part because Joss Whedon kind of went out of his way to make sure that there were as few casualties as possible in that final scene out of a seeming desire to give the middle finger to the movie Man of Steel, a fact that was not lost in the cultural reception of that movie. But even if that scene did result in a huge number of civilians killed in the crossfire it would still seem like an odd thing for the world to complain about. All through Captain America: Civil War I kept waiting for Captain America to make the most obvious argument against these accusations: "Yes some innocent people died during that battle, but if we hadn't been there Ultron would have sent his vibraniam machine plummeting to Earth killing every man, woman, and child on the face of the earth (including all the Sokovian civilians)."
What's more it isn't exactly clear what the checks and balances of the accords would do to save civilians from superhero activity. If the UN was controlling The Avengers would they really have disallowed them from going to Sokovia to prevent Ultron from causing apocalyptic extinction? Would that have also disallowed them from going to Sokovia to prevent Crossbones from stealing biological weapons… that could be used to kill every man woman and child on the plant (including the Lagosians in that office building that got blown up). Seeing a pattern here. Even if you view the movie strictly as an allegory for more earthly checks on power this global outrage still doesn't exactly make sense. We currently live in a world where the U.S. military routinely kills bystanders in drone strikes and even the most peace-loving among us can only barely muster any outrage over it. Hell, the army once accidently blew up a Chinese embassy and everyone just shrugged and kept the military industrial complex going and quickly forgot the whole thing. People are generally fairly willing to accept civilian casualties as long as they think they know who the "good guy" is.
But maybe cogent political allegory is a little too much to expect from a movie that most people are going to based on the promise of seeing a bunch of superheroes battle one another for a couple of hours. On that level the movie certainly delivers, especially in a scene around two thirds of the way through the film where the two opposing teams of heroes have a battle royale which incorporates all the heroes' various powers in some relatively inspired ways. The scene's impact is slightly diminished by the fact that all of the heroes involved have no intention of killing any of their opponents which kind of sucks the suspense out of the whole thing, but it's pretty fun nonetheless. There are of course some concessions to corporate nonsense. While the Spider-Man that's introduced here is strong it's undeniable that he doesn't really fit very easy into the plot and was almost certainly added as a cross-marketing move, but they somehow mostly get away with it. It would be impossible not to watch this movie and compare it to this year's other movie which pitted iconic superheroes against each other, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and marvel at how much better this one is. That other movie's complete and utter failure perhaps gave me a renewed respect for just how easy Marvel Studios makes the whole superhero team up thing look because this pretty much succeeds everywhere that that movie failed. It's not as good as Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which remains Marvel Studio's best accomplishment but it probably is somewhere in the studio's top five.
