Cobalt's Contest: Top Five Unreleased Items, Unleashed!
May 2, 2016 May 2, 2016 Tori
It is the year 201x. Doctor Cobalt sits down on his recliner, drinking the aged grape juice his robot servant gave him. He looks up at the screen embedded into the wall, scrolling through the PHB's archives. "Hey," he wonders aloud, upon noticing that the PHB had reached 24 million hits in April of 2016. "Did we ever celebrate that?" the old, discolored scientist asks, to no one in particular.
He gets up from his beloved chair, placing the glass down on the table. Grabbing a flashlight, the doctor proceeds to walk down the rickety spiral staircase. He shines the flashlight into a darkened room. "Well fellas, I finally found some use for all five of you." The old doctor laughs, taking the time-watch out of his lab coat.
Wihi, Cobalt here! A white blast of light hits him from behind.
"Wait, you have to reschedule the Top Five Wanted Gaming Features for another day! I've come from the year 201x, and I'm here to tell you, you've got to do something for the PHB viewers for helping the blog reach 24 million hits! How about a little contest?"
Well, alright. I guess we can have a contest, but I'd like it to be a Top Five post at least…
There is a lot of unreleased material without specific cards in Poptropica's files, and some that are so mysterious and awesome, you almost feel compelled to speculate about them. From a never before seen Astro-Knight to a pepper gun, these items sure are fun! 😉
So for starters, all these items appear on SUI and Non-SUI, probably meaning they're having no plans on releasing these items. While they are awesome, I will admit, I do see no purpose for them anymore either. Though, let's get on with it! (Trust me, I'm showing you the best of the best!)
Also, I didn't steal these pictures from anyone, I just thought it would be easier to take screenshots from my Poptropican's closet, check it out for yourself! My username is: CaptainSpencer
5. More-dred's Mace
There's more to Mordred after all! While the item name is called tBardStaff, it does look better with Mordred than with Binary Bard. (It makes the jester hat less repetitive, I'd say.) Other than on an ASG that's been patched, I'm sure many of you haven't seen this one before!
4. Secret Samurai
I'd imagine this samurai was planned to have been obtainable somewhere along the road during Red Dragon's development, but it never saw the light of day, always sneaking in the shadows of Poptropica's files… Well, hopefully now this costume gets the gratitude it deserves! One thing is for sure, this armor is ancient!
3. Never-Seen Ninja
This ninja honestly would've been my favorite outfit back in the day. It looks like a mixture of all the ninja costumes possibly obtainable now, though. 5/5 Shuriken Stars!
2. Pretty Pistol
That's right, the villain with without a doubt the best character design (El Mustachio Grande!) was originally going to have an awesome gun. It's called the pepper gun, but the pepper pistol sounds a lot cooler in my opinion. 😉
Anyway, I get why they took it away; it really does distract from his outfit and he already has a pistol in his holster. Though, maybe they could've downscaled it a bit?
1. Rock and Roll All Knight!
This outfit is definitely boulder than all the other ones I showed you! While the emerald hammer is a whole different unreleased item of its own, I noticed the color palettes were similar, and I kind of fictionized it together.
So hopefully you all enjoyed this pop-in to a never before seen Poptropica past. I definitely think all of these were worthy items back in the day, but I guess releasing them now wouldn't make much sense, would it? 😛
Now that the outfit preview is over, it's time for a fun little contest!
Any amount of battle stars, credits (max. 5625), name and unreleased outfit (from this post) of your choosing is up for five lucky commenters – all you have to do is submit a brief backstory to a Poptropican wearing said outfit. You also need to tell me the username, and if you win, I'll pm you the account credentials on the PHC.
I'd like the secret samurai with the name Firstname Lastname, 5 battle stars, and the maximum amount of credits! I'd like the user to be FirstNamesSwagAccount. Here's the story:
The secret samurai was named Sammy Samurai and had an awesome sword called the Sammy Sword. He slew all the bad guys and got babes with it.
Of course I'd like the submissions to be a little more serious. 😉 The contest ends precisely a week from now! What outfit will you choose?
Well, back to the future for me! Until next post pops around, Poptropicanos…

Hey! I'd like the Rock and Roll All Knight with the name Cool Kid, all 5 battle stars, and the maximum credit amount, of course! The user can be EmeraldKnightDude. As for the story…
There was once a kid named Bob who made a Poptropica account. His character, Cool Kid, was totally normal, until Bob accidently switched from the Poptropica tab on his computer to the Minecraft one. It glitched and Cool Kid got stuck in Minecraft, where Bob had Cool Kid mine some dirt and emeralds. Bob later logged out of both Minecraft and Poptropica, and when he logged back in, Cool Kid was back, only with that awesome outfit as shown above. The end!

I rate this five ninja stars. But why is ninja ASG a girl, and why didn't it have it's chucks?
Though the ninja kind of reminds me of the unreleased club penguin shadow ninja (not that I like club penguin anymore). Though the other costumes aren't that bad either. 😀

The End. FIN.

Your so sweet ☺. You made my day Colbalt.
el mustachio grande was very exited about his new pepper pistol he used it but it seemed not very powerful it shooting small grains of spice and others shooting larger things such as potatos he demanded a refund but he did"nt get one so he got his gang and robbed the seller of all his riches he no longer needed his pistol so he kept his life as a villain but some where there still is a pepper pistol seller
Funny Ant says:
I'd like the Rock and Roll All Knight costume (face it, that helmet is awesome, and very bold(er)) with the name Funny Ant, four point nine battle stars and 5624 credits. I'd like the username to be funniestant (all lowercase.)
Avery Scruffington III wasn't the strongest of knights, and his muscles were sore from wearing a helmet carved out of a boulder and a hammer with an emerald head. He lost most of his duels, usually because the weight of his helmet tipped him over. He was assigned to find Mordred after he disappeared and rescue a princess, but in the middle of his very cliché quest he came to a very cliché bottomless chasm with a very cliché rickety rope bridge as the only method of crossing. He had barely taken one step when his hammer tripped him, and he fell over the edge. Avery Scruffington III—and his costume—were lost from the Poptropica files forever.
Just want to change one thing, I'd actually like 42 battle stars if it is possible.
No, 5 is the max. But wow, that comment. Liked your entry a lot. :^)
Ah. I was confused, since you said "any number." 4.9 stars will be fine. 🙂 Thanks! 😀
Oh, and I'm not on the PHC much, so if I win, could you email the details to me? Thanks.
Or Maybe announce it on the PHB too. Or are you already doing that and I didn't notice? *checks*
Didn't see it. But yeah.
oh and my username s garfield10189
Marshmallow says:
Hola, Cobalt! Okay, enough messing around. I'd like to enter the contest. I'd like the costume to be More-dred's Mace with the name What Ever, 5 battle stars, the maximum amount of credits, and the username to be AppleSauceJr. Okay, now, onto the story!
I was kind of stupid back then. I was still a kid, and what did I know, crawling into the planetarium after dark just to look through the telescope. I have to admit, it was a big telescope. I was always sort of a softy when it came to space. Anyway, it was midnight. All of the people of Astro-Knights island were asleep, and I had told my parents I was out at a sleepover. Instead, I had climbed all the way up the planetarium and let myself drop through the skylight. Don't worry, I didn't break the window, I just knew that one of the windows was particularly unsturdy if you push on it hard enough. So, I hopped through the open window and landed on the cool tile floor like a ninja. I made I frighteningly loud noise when I hit the ground, and I could have sworn I heard a someone walk in the hallway. But I waited, as still as a statue, for a few seconds. If anyone had been listening to me, they would have caught me by then, so I let my heart beat a little slower and crept toward the telescope. It was kind of scary, with the empty, hollow, echoing rooms and my footsteps filling the hallways. I wiped my shaggy blonde hair out of my face and took a look at myself in the mirror that was conveniently placed on the wall. I looked like such a dork. My face was pale and I looked terrified, even if I didn't feel that way. I took a second to fix my hair and straighten my shirt. 'You're a man now. Look like it.' I thought to myself. While I was staring at myself in the mirror, I saw a flash of purple and yellow dart behind me. I whipped around, breathless and genuinely scared. I breathed and it echoed around the room. No one was there. It was crazy of me to do this, but I kept walking towards the telescope. I heard another footstep. I froze, midstep. "Who's there?" I squeaked, frightened by how loud the large room had made me sound. Again. Nothing. I turned, and ran towards the telescope, just praying that I would get a glimpse of the moon before whatever monster that was in here got me. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I fainted. I woke up the next morning in bed with my mother and father crouched over me, with worried looks on their faces. I looked at my blurry reflection in the glass of water that was placed on my nightstand. I was Mordred.
The End? (Hehe…)
Cuddly Knuckle a.k.a Wilbur says:
Ok… I'll take the Never Seen Ninja, and I'll take the name Golden Sword.
Now, I don't tell very good story, but here's one:
There once was a ninja named Richard, he was a very experienced ninja. Every day he searched for villians and always won against the fight against those villians, until one day there was a robot in a small town which looked indestructible and crushed every building. Richard went to the town and fought the robot until the robot crashed down. Richard got admired by all the town people for destroying the robot so he became the king of his homeland.
Oh-also, the username is going to be TheNever-SeenNinja.
alrighty then. I'll give this a shot.
Gimme a sec, i got to get my writer on, and I usually end up rather formal when i do this.
*coughs lightly into hand*
alright. I'll leave my battle stars alone, (You have to EARN those) and i'd like 5000 credits, (I like round numbers), the name Lucky Mordred, the Mordred costume of course, and the username MordredisLucky. If you could make it a girl, that would be great, but, if you can't… i dunno.
Alright, here's a fun story.
Once upon a time there was a girl called Lucky Mordred. She was adventuring one day when aliens starting invading. She ran, shoving a hale bale as she ran and fell into a hole underneath. She discovered she was in a bunker-ish place and explored a little. She discovered she was in her uncle's workshop, where he had worked before he'd been kicked off the whole darn planet and defeated by Lucky Wing. Lucky M didn't like Lucky Wing. She felt her name had been stolen.
Lucky M grabbed a specter from the table. Underneath it was a note in code. Lucky M and Uncle Mordred had used this code all the time. It said "0100110001110101011000110110101101111001001000000100110100101100001000000110100101100110001000000111100101101111011101010010000001100110011010010110111001100100001000000111010001101000011010010111001100101100001000000110100100100000011010000110000101110110011001010010000001100010011001010110010101101110001000000110010001100101011001100110010101100001011101000110010101100100001000000110000101101110011001000010000001101110011001010110010101100100001000000111100101101111011101010111001000100000011010000110010101101100011100000010111000100000010001100111001001100101011001010010000001101101011001010010000001100110011100100110111101101101001000000110110101111001001000000111000001110010011010010111001101101111011011100010000001100001011011100110010000100000011101110110010100100000011101110110100101101100011011000010000001110010011101010110110001100101001000000111010001101000011001010010000001110111011011110111001001101100011001000010000100100001"
That seemed alright to Lucky M. She hefted the specter. Lucky Wing would regret the day she had ever crossed Lucky M.
There! That took forever!
sorry, the binary didn't work. Here it is again!

AdelaideQueen says:
I'd really like the Rock and Roll all Knight! Costume, with the name Tough Warrior. He has 5 battle stars, and the maximum amount of credits! His username is EmeraldTheKnight. Here's his story:
Sir Emerald was one of the four Astro Knights on the island. His armour was made of boulders, and his signature weapon was his Emerald Hammer. Sir Emerald was one of the bravest and toughest knights. The other knights envied his power. How could a Poptropican walk around Astro Knights Island all day with a boulder on his head?
After the Princess Elyana was abducted by Mordred, Sir Emerald and the other three knights went on different planets to try to find and rescue her. Sir Emerald was to search the Crystal Caves. Being the clumsy knight he is, Sir Emerald crash landed into the lake outside the caves, leaving his Emerald Hammer behind.
He traversed the dark Crystal Caves, until he reached the Dark Rivers. Something was coming out of the water.
"Elyana, dear, is that you?" he shouted.
A loud hiss and a bang was heard, and Sir Emerald was captured by the Centimarine, a hybrid of a giant centipede and an attack submarine. Because of the explosion, the Crystal Caves caved in, and Sir Emerald was never heard of again.
After the events of Astro Knights Islands, the knights were ordered to find Sir Emerald after forgetting about him. They desperately searched the planets, but to no avail. He was presumed dead. The kingdom mourned his death, until he was completely forgotten about, until recently.
Poptropican Cobalt Spinner, an author of the popular Poptropica Help Blog somehow got his hands on a picture of Sir Emerald, along with four other missing Poptropicans. A search party is currently looking for Sir Emerald and will return in a week's time. Whether Sir Emerald is dead or alive is unknown yet.
Tall Moon says:
I am Tall Moon, my username is BlackpeelJDT. Five battle stars, 500 credits. Rock and Roll All Knight is the costume I want. Here's his story…
One day, in the Astro-Knight Kingdom, the queen went missing. An experienced knight, named Slammer Hammer, wielding a silver hammer, went to find her. But while tracking her signal, he was attacked by space sharks! He crash-landed on a prehistoric planet. and lost all his armor in the crash. All he had left was the handle of his hammer. But it turns out, his ship hit an emerald boulder. He found a semi-rectangular piece of the gem rock, and tied it onto his hammer handle. Later, while exploring, he found where his armor landed: on a pile of rocks. His armor was completely melted, but he used the hammer to carve armor out of the rocks, and he lived on the planet for the rest of his life. In case you were wondering, the queen found her way home three days later.
Oh, I did it wrong. The username can be RockKnight, The name to be Magenta Moon. I don't care about the credits or the stars, but I don't use Instant Message, so IF I win, can you email it?
NVM I created an IM account.
I wish to have More-dred's Mace. The username is YourNoseisBig22858 and the name should be…er…Mighty Monster! He should also have 100 Credits on him. I care not for the rest.
I once ran into a person wearing that exact outift at Poptropicon. I asked him,"Are you another cosplayer?" He said,"No,you little [The rest is censored]!" After sorting out our…differences,he explained everything to me.
It turns out that the mace was one of Mordred's inventions,from long ago,back before he was…turned.It never was mentioned in the storybooks,but for a good reason,which I will get back to.
The lore says that he spent several years working on the mace. But…it wasn't just a mace. The jovial dragon with the jester's hat had a special…talent. Soon,a week after he had finished the invention,he was given a summons by the king to demonstrate to him the invention's…power.
So he entered the royal court,where he explained the workings of the mace. "So,yer Majesty",he proclaimed,"this little toy o' mine has a lil' ol' penchant." "What kind of penchant does thou speak of,Sir Mordred (yes,indeed,before his…escape,Mordred was actually knighted by the royal house of Arthurus)?" "I think ye should see fer yerself,milord." And he grasped it so tight that suddenly…the dragon started breathing fire!
This little gift of the mace would have worked better,however,in a series of unfortunate events,the king's royal rear was lit during the demonstration. Chaos ensued,and Mordred was put in the dark,dank dungeon for a month. The king was the laughingstock of the country for quite a while. And hence,the mace was removed from the storybooks.
"Wow,"I said,"Is that really the story behind that mace?" "…Well,sure,mate. Why not? Either way,that'll be 100 Credits for the tale." "Sure." I gave him the credits. "Either way,fare thee well,stranger. Be sure to pass this tale onto those you meet in the future!" "Of course!" I waved to him,and he waved back. Suddenly,something dropped from his hand. I picked it up.
It was a receipt. For a mace.
Realising that I'd been scammed,I looked around,but he had mysteriously disappeared.
So I've been searching for the conman for about a year now to get my credits back,and it seems I've finally found the guy. However,it seems you decided to play softball and ask for a cute little story. So I've obliged and given you one:the same one that scam artist gave me a year back! Now…will you let me at him?
P.S I'd prefer the credentials being emailed to me rather than given over a chatbox which I don't frequent.

I wish to have More-dred's Mace with the name Crazy Knight with five battle ranking stars, maximum credits. I would also like the user to be Moredred'sMaceFace. So, here it goes…
(From Mordred's view)
My history goes back quite a long way. Nobody really knows why I went crazy. Or why none of the quests in Poptropica are impossible to complete. The real reason for me going crazy was my love for the princess. She was always so happy and beautiful. When I met her, I was twenty, and she was nineteen. Amazing. She turned out to be one of the smartest poptropicans I ever knew. That's why I named my owl Merlin. Merlin was a smart wizard. So, the day the princess turned twenty seven, and I was twenty eight, I asked the king for her hand in marriage.
He said no. He had gotten a terrible omen from the Time Tangled Oracle that if his daughter ever married, the kingdom would fall apart. In my anger, I created inhuman inventions that can not be spoken about. The princess hated me. The king hated me. The kingdom hated me. I didn't even get a trial, I was just thrown in jail. Finally, a while later, I dug out. Before I wrote in my journal about the long, lonesome days, I went to work on making an invention. It was a small staff with a dragon's head at the end. It gave off powerful sparks that would allow the holder to complete the quest of any island.
But then, after writing a bit in my journal, I was forced to leave. While escaping, I dropped the staff in the thick mud, afraid that if it was caught, someone would sell it, and get thousands of credits off of my invention. Years later, under all that mud, one lucky poptropican fell in, and came out alive. In her pocket, the mace stuck. Then, according to my studies, she went home and washed her pants in the washing machine. The water and suds in the machine went to a filtering factory, and an atom of my invention got through. It got into the drinking water of all poptropicans, and they were given the power to complete anything if they put their mind to it. And that's my story. And now you all know why no quest is impossible to complete. By the way, um, give me a break poptropicans and stop completing Astro Knights for a minute, will ya? I need to take over the world sometime you know.
*restarts Astro Knights*
*stares at story*
hoo boy. This is amazing.

A cousin of the famous Gazpacho, Ajo Blanco is a cold soup coming from Spain. Featuring very finely ground almonds, garlic, bread, olive oil, vinegar, and garnished with grapes, it's perfect refreshment for scorching summer days!
Being here in Tenerife, I am continuing the exploration of Spanish cuisine. We see so many awesome foods served in bars and restaurants while strolling down the streets every single day my eyes don't know where to look!
That said, we don't eat out often. There are a few reasons for that. First, our 1.5 year old kid is super active and he just can't sit at one place for more than a couple of minutes. It's really hard to enjoy food together with my wife because one of us usually has to run after the baby. That's not how I picture a nice meal at a restaurant, ha ha!
Another reason is the price. Staying here for 2 months and paying an arm and a leg for the apartment, our budget is tight. We could stay less and live like kings but our choice is always a lengthier stay even if it's a modest one. We have nothing against "getting our hands dirty" and cooking at home. To be frank, we even like exploring local grocery stores in search for interesting products we have never tried before. The most important thing is that we are here enjoying sun, the ocean, and mindblowing views!
It doesn't mean cutting on restaurants completely, though. Usually we visit them on scorching days when we are out at the beach and we need something to freshen us up. It could be a smoothie, an ice cream, or a cold soup! If you didn't know that before, Spain is known for its chilled soups.
The most famous one is Gazpacho. You must have heard this name. It's a tomato based soup packed with other veggies, stale bread, olive oil, and vinegar. Another one is Salmorejo. It's also based on tomatoes but is richer, thicker, and may be garnished with some ham. Both these soups are exquisite (I tried both of them already here) but today I want to talk about their tomato-less cousin Ajo Blanco.
Ajo Blanco also features stale bread, vinegar, olive oil but is also packed with almonds and garlic. By the way, it's the oldest one from all the Spanish chilled soups and it existed even before tomatoes were brought to Europe. What a pity that Gazpacho stole all the spotlight from his big brother. Ajo Blanco is even called white gazpacho by some people.
It's interesting that the soup takes its name from garlic (Ajo Blanco literally translates as white garlic) even though the almonds are the ones that dominate here.
This Spanish almond & garlic soup is crazy easy to make. Even my kid would make it. Seriously. All you have to do is just throw almonds, bread, garlic, olive oil, cold water, salt, and vinegar into a food processor and blend. That's it! Then you either chill it or not and serve. It can't be easier, guys! You will have some job to do if you won't be able to get blanched almonds as this soup requires skins to be removed.
The amount of garlic. There is no rule on how much garlic you should use for the soup. My recipe suggests half a clove per person but you can easily up it to one clove per person if you like more kick.
The toppings. Usually Ajo Blanco is served with some fruit thrown inside. I find it to be a little bit conflicting because the soup is savory and I don't feel it needs any sweetness but my wife loved it, though. The most popular option is grapes but I also saw some recipes with apples and even fresh figs! The idea I loved the most and the one I'm trying next is adding some cucumber. Somehow I feel that it will fit great here!
The amount of water. Once again there is no strict rule. Just keep adding cold water with a food processor running until you get a consistency you like. Some recipes add milk instead of water or, for example, soak the bread in milk.
To sum it up, I find Ajo Blanco to be a perfect refreshment for hot summer days. Sometimes it's nice to alternate sweet smoothies, juices, and ice creams with something savory. Try it and let me know how you liked it, guys!

Ajo Blanco is the Spanish answer to the heat. This chilled almond and garlic soup is super easy and requires only 10 minutes to make!
Soak the bread in water for a couple of minutes.
In a food processor, add the almonds and process until finely ground. Add the soaked bread, garlic, olive oil, and process well. With the food processor running, gradually add the water until you get a lightly creamy texture. Season with salt and add the vinegar.
Chill for a couple of hours and serve in bowls drizzled with oil and garnished with almond slices and grapes. Enjoy!
Great post! We also have just visited Spain (Madrid and Valencia) and loved the cuisine. How good are the almonds? So pleased to see them featured here. Will be making this for sure.
I have never been to Madrid and Valencia yet, only in Barcelona, but I would absolutely love to!
I've only had Ajo Blanco once and really liked it, it's such an unusual recipe, not anything else like it that I've encountered. Yours looks really delicious too!
I love a cold soup, especially living in Austin, Texas during the summer. I never cold heard of a creamy, cold soup though! I'll have to try this out.
You will love it, Alyssa!
Interesting recipe for a soup I've never tried. Yesterday while I was in a farmers market, I sampled my first unripe almond. I'd really like to try this recipe. Thanks for expanding my culinary bank!
Wow, I have never had an unripe almond. Would love to, though!
I think the addition of figs would be delicious since they pair well with savory dishes. This recipe looks beautiful!
Spent a few weeks in Spain last year and tried ajo blanco for the first time! Before I loved Gazpacho, then I fell head over heels in love with salmorejo and now I'm on to ajo blanco. I've got to make this at home myself this summer!
The almond sounds wonderful! What a great soup!


with all the skill of a cunning politician.
Constant was one of his sons.
He reigned from 337 to 350 AD.
In 312 AD, on the eve of a battle against Maxentius, his Italian rival, Constantine claimed to have received instructions in a dream to paint the first two letters of the name of Christ (XP in Greek) on his troops' shields.
According to legend, a cross of fire is said to have appeared bearing the Latin words In hoc signo vinces, which meant "Through this sign thou shalt conquer". This monogram of Christ is the very first known use of the cross by those who called themselves Christians.
this worshipper of the sun had made.
of Christ, the Chi Rho.
It is acknowledged that the cross only became the main symbol of Christendom after Constantine's time.
Moreover, he never renounced sun worship and continued to have the sun figure on his coins. He was contented with recognising Christianity as the religio licia, the authorised religion. The doctrinal division in the Church worried him as he saw it as a threat to the unity of the Empire.
In his capacity as Pontifex maximus, high priest of the pagan religion, he presided over the first ecumenical council convened in Nicaea in 325.
in the creed of the council.
The foundations of the dogma of the Trinity, a term which appears nowhere in the Bible, were consequently put in place. Constantine undoubtedly converted for reasons that were more political than religious. The family crimes that he committed indicate that he was completely impervious to the spiritual influence of Christianity. He was only baptised when he was on his deathbed. Eusebius said that "this gesture holds no great meaning as the day before he made a sacrifice to Zeus".
After Constantine, Christendom was to admittedly become a force of cohesion in a world in dissolution, but above all a distorted form of primitive Christianity. Jesus and his Apostles had pronounced such a change of direction. AR91 - Matthew 13:36; 2 Thessalonians 2:3, note.
who rose up in revolt.
This State religion was the exact opposite of the worship practised by the first disciples of Jesus, who said to them: "You are no part of the world." - John 15:19.


Due Diligence, runner-up in the 2014 Diamond Jubilee Stakes, has his first foal on the ground, a filly out of the Approve mare Free Entry that arrived on Thursday morning at Whitsbury Manor Stud.
The filly is the first foal out of Free Entry, a two-year-old winner and half-sister to the Group 3-placed Golden Destiny, from the family of Catch The Blues, winner of the Group 3 Ballyogan Stakes at Leopardstown.
Due Diligence, a six-year-old son of War Front, was brought over from the US where he won a valuable two-year-old contest for Todd Pletcher. Under the care of Aidan O'Brien, his three-year-old campaign saw him win the Listed Lacken Stakes at Naas before finishing second to Slade Power in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.
He had four more starts at four, the last of which was a fifth-place finish in the Haydock Sprint Cup behind Twilight Son.
Ed Harper, stud director at Whitsbury Manor Stud, said: "We're delighted to welcome the first foal by Due Diligence.
"The filly is an attractive bay, nicely marked in a similar way to her sire, and a good size for a maiden mare. We have 16 mares to foal to him this season, so we look forward to seeing a lot more of the same."

Of Mozart's 30 accredited lieder, this disc contains k125d-h, 340c, 468, 473, 474, 476, 506, 519, 53, 524, 530 and the cantata 619. If the word is the seed of the lied, and lyricism its natural flowering, then most of this bunch will look sterile and artificial to the lied-cultivator. Their texts derive from anything but great poetry; their aims are anything but self-expressive. So their precognitions of Schubert seem paranormal, and are usually rationalized as preechoes which were "in the air" (Capell's phrase) at the time. But perhaps these were valid causes, not just sound effects. They all occur (to my ears) onlyin those dozen songs which were first published in Vienna. And the two invariably hailed as Schubertian, Das Veilchen and Abendempfindung, were published by a Viennese house (and family) well known to Schubert. Such settings were surely seminal. lf so, Das Veilchen really was the first flower in the field, and in essence one of the most pervasive.
That paragraph of prelude to the Mozart song heralds the predictable vocal style of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau - a Classically-restrained version of the subtly-nuanced expressiveness inculcated by a lifelong devotion to the Romantic lied. But middle courses can be compromising. To the Schubertian, this Violet will seem rather colourless, the Evening Feeling decidedly cool; yet the very same shades of interpretation might strike the Mozartian as ultra-sultry. In the conventional pastoral scene, the high style is often hard to get across, especially when rushed (e.g. An Chloe); and one bar (in Gesellenlied) almost occasions an actual stumble. The inaudible phoneme is an unheard-of phenomenon in Fischer-Dieskau, and it pronounces that he is not entirely on his home ground.
Daniel Barenboim is heard playing away with his accustomed blend of delicacy and relish; flavouring with personal touches a texture which might otherwise be insipid to some tastes; bringing out the left-hand line, varying the basic tempo during interludes or postludes, and so on. These highlights are illuminating for the specialist, who can observe for example how a whispered phrase of Geheime Liebe becomes a bold statement in the first piano sonata. Even so, that song and two others (k125 d-f) were expelled from the canon in the critical reports of the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe, where they are ascribed to Leopold. Perhaps there is new evidence to justify their inclusion here; or else the umbrella description "Mozart Lieder" is held to cover the head of the family as well?
The relation of singer to pianist also raises questions. Of course they both remain supreme for beauty of tone and sensitivity of perception. For the reasons given, however, they do sometimes suggest the simultaneous performance of an 18th-cenlury sonata and a 19th-century song; and even with former tuned up and the latter down it is not altogether surprising that they have had a mixed reception. Their most lifelike presentation is arguably the least lied-like, namely the cantata Die ihr, der unermesslichen Weltalls. Here one Franz Heinrich Ziegenhagen modestly offers to act as spokesman for the Great Architect of the Universe, all plan and elevation. The composer not only accepts this text in good faith, but adds a compelling musical argument from design. He genuinely heard his own creative genius, even at its everyday level, as an image of divine order in the universe. Whatever one's personal persuasion, there is no doubt that the artistic conviction in voice and piano he performs a great service to Mozart.


Mark McCall insists Saracens can take only limited consolation from their two-year reign over Europe, knowing it will come to an end next month.
The Champions Cup holders were dispatched 30-19 by Leinster in Sunday's quarter-final in Dublin and must now switch attention to regaining the Aviva Premiership crown lost to Exeter last season.
Winning successive European titles has secured Saracens a place among the continent's heavyweights, but for McCall the pain of a conclusive defeat at the Aviva Stadium casts a cloud over past achievements.
Director of rugby McCall said: "It's such a difficult competition that it's hard enough to get out of your pool.
"For us to go two years and 20 games in a row unbeaten in the competition is something that we should be rightly proud of.
"But you want to forget about the past and move on with the present, so it's been a very mixed campaign for us.
"In the pool stages we've had a lot of stuff to contend with injury wise, but no excuses against Leinster, we were beaten by the better side.
Saracens trailed 13-12 at half-time but a flurry of 10 points underpinned by Dan Leavy's marauding 46th-minute try ultimately swept the tournament favourites out of sight.
Leinster head coach Leo Cullen insisted the Irish province, and particularly their rampaging openside Leavy, benefited from what he felt was a deliberate tactic by the champions to target Johnny Sexton.
Sexton conceded a petulant penalty by kicking the ball away when they were due to take a restart, but Cullen refused to condemn his fly-half, adding: "It's tough on Johnny because he was played off the ball a few times during the first half. It's hard for him to not get frustrated.

Beautiful and very popular walk that, from the pass of Passo Rolle, arrives at the hut of Baita Segantini, undoubtedly one of the most visited destinations in the Dolomites. The main feature of the entire walk, which develops entirely along the gravel road that connects the pass with the hut, is the magnificent picture offered towards the east on the western sector of the Pala Group, with the peak of Cimon della Pala that stands out isolated on the right and the imposing peaks of Vezzana, Bureloni, Val Grande, Mulaz and Venegiòta. In addition to the peaks belonging to the Pala Group, particularly interesting are the sights of Monte Castellazzo to the north, Passo Rolle and Punta Rolle to the south, the mountain range of Lagorai to the southeast and Paneveggio with the Valley of Fiemme to the east.
The starting point is Passo Rolle (1,984 m asl), near a large car park, located a few hundred meters from the gap, on the east side towards the village of San Martino di Castrozza. From the parking lot the trail begins, next to a building once used as the starting point of the Segantini – Graffer single-seater chairlift – which led directly to the Baita Segantini -, by going uphill on a gravel road featuring comfortable hairpin bends, that immediately leads to a first intersection. At the intersection, the walk proceeds by taking the gravel road on the right towards Capanna Cervino (2,084 m asl). Currently a restaurant, the hut of Capanna Cervino was born in the 1930s as the base of the ski school founded by Alfredo Paluselli who gave this name to the building in honor of the Cimon della Pala, called "the Matterhorn of the Dolomites" (Cervino is the Matterhorn), due to its particular shape.
From the hut of Capanna Cervino, the walk continues on a short stretch on a path that allows you to shortcut the wide bend of the gravel road (it is possible, of course, to proceed along the road). Then, after a relatively flat stretch along the road, you reach directly the hut of Baita Segantini (2,181 m asl) with its small lake, located on the head of the valley of Venegia, facing Dolomites of the Pale di San Martino.
The return from Baita Segantini follows the same route backwards, with the possibility of taking any of the numerous paths towards Passo Rolle which, with the tourist development of the "Trekking del Cristo Pensante", are now all clearly visible and do not require particular technical effort.
From the mountain pass of Passo Rolle (1.984 m asl), follow the gravel road ascending towards Capanna Cervino / Baita Segantini,
From the hut of Capanna Cervino (2,084 m asl), continue the ascent, always following the gravel road, until getting to Baita Segantini,
From the hut of Baita Segantini (2,181 m asl), head back to Passo Rolle. ✓
BAITA SEGANTINI AND CAPANNA CERVINO
Additionally to the morphological one, there is a logical line which connects the huts of Baita Segantini and Capanna Cervino; in fact, both of them were born thanks to the artist, guide and polyglot Alfredo Paluselli (1900-1969), also known as "Custode del Cimone" (tr. the guardian of Cimon della Pala).
Born in Ziano di Fiemme, Paluselli is certainly one of the pioneers of "modern" sports and tourism culture in the region; thanks to work experiences that allowed him to observe different cultures in Switzerland and the United States of America. Once he returned back to Italy, after founding an athletics team in Val di Fassa and obtaining the title of Ski Instructor, he decided to found the first skiing school in the Dolomites, together with his wife Lina.
Prefabricated by Paluselli with modular blocks in his laboratory in Ziano, the hut of Capanna Cervino was built in the 1930s. The building takes its name from the Cimon della Pala (called "Cervino delle Dolomiti" for its shape, similar to the Matterhorn / Cervino / Cervin). The school was the first one of its kind in Italy to offer accommodation and ski lessons together in one package.
In 1936, while searching for new inspirations, after having restored a path from the Great War connecting Passo Rolle with Passo Costazza, Paluselli devoted himself completely to the Dolomites pass, building what will be his home for the coming 35 years (including the famous winter of 1950-1951 when Passo Rolle was submerged by more than 25 meters of snow): Baita Segantini.
Paluselli, known for his frankness, was known to dislike being surrounded by people and to swear at anyone who posed or flaunted harshly. It is also known that Paluselli opened his home to visitors only occasionally, when he left to go back to the valley or to climb, leaving its guests with a simple ticket with the words: "Entrate, bevete, pagate" (tr. come in, drink, pay").
The hut, originally built in Bellamonte for then being dismantled and reassembled where is located today by Paluselli, is entitled to the painter from Arco. Baita Segantini remains today one of the most visited destinations in the Dolomites. Among its most illustrious visitors, Alcide De Gasperi, Aldo Moro, Leopold III of Belgium and Pope John XIII.

Labor Market Survey Shows a Sharp Increase in Transitions into Unemployment; Expectations Regarding Job Transitions Worsen
NEW YORK – The Federal Reserve Bank of New York' Center for Microeconomic Data today released the July 2020 SCE Labor Market Survey, which shows a rise in transitions into unemployment and a decline in employer-to-employer transitions, compared to a year ago. Regarding expectations, the average expected likelihood of receiving an offer in the next four months declined sharply while the average expected wage offer (conditional on receiving one) remained largely unchanged. The average reservation wage—the lowest wage at which respondents would be willing to accept a new job—increased year-over-year. Expectations regarding job transitions displayed a broad-based worsening.
Among those who were employed four months ago, 88.9% were still employed, compared to 93.3% last July. This decline was due to a rise in transitions into unemployment from 2.8% in July 2019 and 5.7% in March 2020 to 10.5%—a series high—in July 2020. The increase in transitions into unemployment was most notable for respondents over age 45, those with household income of less than $60,000, and women. Employer-to-employer transitions also declined from 6.2% in July 2019 to 4.4% in July 2020.
The proportion of individuals who reported searching for a job in the past four weeks fell from 24.5% in July 2019 to 19.6% in July 2020. The decline was driven by respondents below the age of 45 and those without a college degree.
13.5% of individuals reported receiving at least one job offer in the past four months, significantly down from 21.0% in July 2019. The series had followed an increasing trend from March 2018 until the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic began to materialize in March 2020. On the other hand, the average full-time offer wage received in the past four months increased from $54,943 in July 2019 to $62,911 in July 2020.
Satisfaction with wage compensation, with nonwage benefits, and with promotion opportunities at respondents' current jobs all slightly increased from July 2019 values, reaching 60.4%, 65.1%, and 49.5%, respectively.
Expectations regarding job transitions over the next four months among those currently employed largely worsened, with the average expected likelihood of moving into unemployment increasing from 2.0% in July 2019 to 3.7% in July 2020 and the average expected likelihood of moving to a new employer decreasing from 11.4% in July 2019 to 8.6% in July 2020. The worsening in expectations was broad-based across age, gender, and income groups.
The average expected likelihood of receiving at least one job offer in the next four months declined sharply from 24.1% in July 2019 to 18.5% in July 2020.
Conditional on expecting an offer, the average expected annual salary of job offers in the next four months essentially remained unchanged at $54,646.
The average reservation wage—the lowest wage respondents would be willing to accept for a new job—increased from $62,194 in July 2019 to $64,226 in July 2020. The increase was most pronounced for younger respondents (below the age of 45) and men. Conversely, the average reservation wage for respondents over the age of 45 and those with household income of over $60,000 each declined.
The average expected likelihood of working beyond the age of 62 ticked down from 52.7% in July 2019 to 51.9%, nearing its lowest reading of 51.1% recorded in March 2018. The average expected likelihood of working beyond the age of 67 also declined from 35.3% in July 2019 to 34.1%.
About the SCE Labor Market Survey
The SCE Labor Market Survey, fielded as part of the Survey of Consumer Expectations (SCE) since March 2014, provides information on consumers' experiences and expectations regarding the labor market. Every four months, approximately 1,000 SCE panelists are asked details about their current (or most recent) job. Respondents are asked about job transitions, and about their job search effort and outcomes (number of job offers and offer wages), over the last four months. The currently employed are also asked about their level of satisfaction with wages, non-wage benefits, and their prospects for advancement at their current job. In addition, the survey elicits respondents' expectations about job transitions over the next four months. Respondents are asked about the likelihood of receiving at least one job offer over the next four months, the expected number of offers, and the expected wages for these offers. The survey also elicits the respondents' "reservation wage" and retirement expectations.
More information about the SCE survey goals, design, and content can be found on the webpage for the Center for Microeconomic Data.

Examination, Prediction, and Outcomes of Informant Discrepancies in Behavioral Ratings of Children Using a Latent Multitrait-Multimethod Model

The use of multiple informants' reports (e.g., mothers, fathers, and teachers) for behavior rating scales (BRS) is common in the psychological assessment of children. Despite widespread use of BRS, discrepancies between informants' ratings are common. The current research was designed to investigate informant discrepancies using a sample of children from the NICHD SECCYD (n = 784). Mother, father, and teacher ratings on the CBCL and TRF (Achenbach, 1991) in first, third, and fifth grades were used. Informant discrepancies were modeled as latent mean differences between informants' ratings of aggression, inattention, and anxiety/depression, using a Method Effect with Reference model (Pohl, Steyer, & Kraus, 2008). Several variables were included in models to as predictors of the informant discrepancies, including demographic, intrapersonal, and contextual variables. Discrepancies were also modeled to predict school and diagnostic outcomes. Analysis of latent mean differences showed teachers' ratings of all behaviors were consistently lower than mothers' ratings; fathers' ratings relative to mothers' were dependent on both the type of behavior and the assessment period. Mother-teacher discrepancies were generally larger than mother-father discrepancies. Discrepancies were smaller as levels of behavior increased, particularly for the mother-father dyad. Of the predictor variables, maternal self-reported anger, anxiety, and depression resulted in smaller informant discrepancies in the mother-father dyad; ratings of boys and African Americans resulted in larger discrepancies the mother-teacher dyad, specifically for aggression and inattention. Larger mother-teacher discrepancies were predictive of children's outcomes, including increased referral for special school services and behavioral diagnoses. Finally, some support for the relative longitudinal consistency of discrepancies was found, but dependent on behavior and informant.

My love of art heists is getting a workout. Thanks to an email from Lauren (one line, no subject, body: "Did you hear about the Matisse?") I found out there was a happy ending to an art heist that occurred over 20 years ago at the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm: Henri Matisse's "Le Jardin" has been recovered by an art dealer in the UK! Look how thrilled the man holding it looks. Dude, you should be grinning from ear-to-ear like someone just slipped you an Ecstasy tablet. Back in 1987, an unknown thief/art-enthusiast broke into the museum with a sledgehammer (Thor-complex) and took off with the 1920 oil painting. It resurfaced recently when it was brought it to be appraised by Charles Fine Art Gallery in England, and was checked against the Art Loss Register (how badly do you want to browse through that bad boy?).
Can you just imagine where the painting has been in the last 25 years? How many hands it's changed, how many cities it's been to? How does a painting stolen from a museum in Sweden end up at a dealer in England without someone along the way wondering where it came from? You have to assume the person who brought it in wasn't aware of it's shady history, or why would they risk getting in trouble? So at some point, it had to have been sold to someone else. No one is going to be arrested, according to what I've read; the time for prosecution has passed and everyone is just happy the painting is back. I am completely fascinated by these types of things, as I've mentioned before. Now all I want to do is go home and watch The Thomas Crown Affair.
I love happy endings! (And I think that guy is more upset about his white debutante gloves than anything else.) It's so fascinating to me to look at that piece and think of how Matisse's work evolved from such straight-up impressionist to the much more modern cut outs. My dad did some big sculptures called Doorway to Matisse inspired to those cutouts so that's what I think of when I think of him. Funny isn't it.
Two books you should read for straight up fun (both are pretty much chick lit, so they'll go fast). Nora Roberts wrote a great murder-suspense novel about the art world called "Homeport" and "Faking It" by Jennifer Cruise. I have to read something light before I fall asleep at night and either of these fit the bill, although Homeport is definitely darker.
And now I want to watch the Thomas Crowne Affair too. And read a biography of Matisse.
thor complex!?! you crack me up big time!!! i love these little mysteries too… thomas crowne affair is a good one! happy watching ladies!
wait a minute, did he fold that painting in half in the brief case? He got the painting (hastily, I might add), undid his case so it would fit the painting then all of a sudden he folded it in half! what?!
Yeah, so it might not be the most believable heist in all of movie-history. He definitely broke the painting by "folding" in it in his briefcase, but a few scenes later you see him take it out and it's perfect. Ah, movie magic!
haha. okay so what sparked my imagination was the bit about a stolen painting changing so many hands over the years. the first couple lines in the 2nd paragraph. what if you wrote a book about that? following the characters that get the painting after it's stolen: those that know, that don't know, aristocrats and eccentrics and maybe just some old janitor that found it behind some old boxes one day . . .
I've always thought it would be amazing if they fitted paintings with some sort of camera device so you could track reactions over the years and their journeys from galleries to galleries (or thieves to thieves). They could call it the "Life and Times of a Painting"? Don't mind me, just having an afternoon ramble! It really is a wonderful painting that they found, I think made all the more special given it's exciting history!
It sounds like a story waiting to be written.
Ha! No way! That's incredible. Apparently it's more common than I realized, who knew? They found the paintings at the train station soon after they were stolen, or years later? So interesting, and so neat you have a permanent tie to that place too.
I just can't even begin to understand the logistics of planing an art heist – I feel like I can't even TOUCH a painting without getting reprimanded by security!
You almost have to assume the hands it exchanged from either had no clue who Matisse was or could care less that it had been stolen. The person who brought it in should get a reward of some kind!
I would have never guessed that was a Matisse had you not told me. Van Gogh would have been my guess. What a fascinating story. How on earth do these people get away with art heists?! Think about all that security. Add to that the fact that the final 'owner' had courage enough to bring the piece in for appraisal! Perhaps, he truly had no idea. Maybe he bought it at a yard sale! Ha!

If you are new to Basics, this 2:07 Video is a good introduction to our model.
As of this writing we have 103 program graduates playing college basketball (or who have played). Competition is incidental to a player's competitiveness. It plays a role, but it plays NO ROLE without really sharp skills and conditioning. Without sharp skills and conditioning, competition is frankly a waste of time, energy and money.
NOTE: Of course we have to compete at some point. We argue that a TINY FRACTION of kids (less than 3%) are actually ready to compete. Basics recommends competitive scrimmaging coupled with constant coaching reinforcement. We also MEASURE many of the skills so players (and parents) actually know where they are on the skill spectrum. See 2:24 Candid Shots Video log on The Mikan Drill, WITH NUMBERS ATTACHED by age and gender. Where is your child in the progression? 90% + are AVERAGE or below.
Our question then is–why are so many kids/teams/programs trying to compete with average skills? It makes no sense to us at all. The ugly truth is players without sharp skills often REGRESS (get worse) when asked to compete.
For ages 12 and younger, the fee is due to secure a roster spot. NO TRY OUTS, NO CUTS.
Yes. Based on try outs we will compose teams in both the U-14 and U-17 divisions of players who demonstrate they belong with more competitive players.
NOTE: Players often PLATEAU and stop improving. Why is this? Listen to the video log.
Where + when are tournaments?
An example WHY we run our own events. This is too common.
Each team practices TWO TIMES EACH WEEK.
No. Sunday is a day of rest.
When does the season begin + end?
WE do not believe in organized summer basketball. See below.
All Basics Spring Players may attend an UNLIMITED NUMBER of skills sessions at no additional cost all spring AT ANY GYM.
We will arrange SCRIMMAGING with area teams. No cost, no travel, no refs, no uniforms, no admission, no results, no parents which all EQUALS a superior competitive experience in every way.
Players may join OTHER PRACTICES on OTHER DATES at no extra cost if space is available. It almost always is. ANY GYM.
We have found a LARGE DISCREPANCY often in the skills of players at U14 and U17. This year, we will offer more ADVANCED/SELECT teams at these divisions BASED ON THEIR TRY OUT PERFORMANCE.
Listen to Basics Podcast: Tips for Try Outs. Great advice.
Spring Team players qualify for summer camp discounts. Includes SIBLINGS.
All spring team players get 50% OFF a college player profile if they have the goal and ambition AND SKILL to play at the next level.

Welcome to our awards home page. The Awards Gallery pages are arranged by years that our pool, deck, water feature, landscape, and hardscape projects won their most recent award (some won awards in multiple years).
Bill Renter has written many articles about swimming pools, landscaping, and hardscaping and is considered an expert in these fields by his peers and the associations he is associated with. We are proud of our successes but our goal is not just to win awards; it is to build spectacular and unique outdoor spaces. The awards are a gratifying reminder of this commitment to excellence in design, planning and execution.
We have been recognized by our peers and industry experts locally, nationally, and internationally for our quality of construction and innovative designs. These awards are the direct result of careful and thoughtful planning. This is the one process that many people seem to rush through. Our process of planning includes all of the "not in estimate" items that others may not discuss with you. After the plans are complete, our Build division takes over. Our attention to detail, thinking ahead, project management and expert field and office staff are the reason these projects win awards. It is this coordination in the designing and building of our job that allows them to win awards.

JONES | A Long, Long Febegans Break
By Jack Jones | February 26, 2018
More on art
Subscribe to art
A few weeks ago, former Arts editor Troy Sherman '18 and I decided to ruin our February break. Instead of going on a trip with friends, catching up on sleep and work or just spending time thinking and relaxing, we chose to spend a good portion of the break in close quarters, reading pages and pages of near-nonsense. When others asked us what we planned to do over break, we'd respond, with a mix of self-conscious amusement and embarrassment, "We're going to read Finnegans Wake aloud."
Why? I'm not entirely sure, looking back, how the seed of this idea was first planted. I'm an avid fan of the Irish writer James Joyce, and I think at some point last semester I realized that if I didn't read Finnegans Wake — his final and by far most difficult work — now, while I'm in college and have friends like Troy that will do ridiculous, simultaneously self-flagellating and self-indulgent things like this with me, then I might never read it.
It is a notoriously difficult work to make sense of. Many of the words in it were created by Joyce himself, who used something like sixty languages as resources to form bizarre, sometimes hilarious and more often incomprehensible puns and double (perhaps triple, quadruple, who knows!) entendres. There is a barely comprehensible narrative about a family, all of whom are referred to by a number of different names: a man, HCE (Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker, Here Comes Everybody); his wife, ALP (Anna Livia Plurabelle); their sons, Shem and Shaun, and their daughter Issy. What little there is of a discernible plot revolves around the rumor of a sexual indiscretion involving HCE in a park, which seems to ultimately lead to his wife's departure at the book's end. But Joyce refuses to offer even this much certainty: the book ends with a half-sentence that is completed by the half-sentence that begins the first chapter, implying that the work is a never ending cycle with no beginning and no end, which somewhat undercuts the significance of ALP's departure. In addition, there is the possibility that the entire book is simply the dream of a sleeping man, possibly HCE. Or perhaps all of these things are somehow true at once. The characters blend and overlap so fully that, in the end, it hardly seems to matter who does what to whom, since everybody seems to contain one another and be contained by one another: hence, Here Comes Everybody.
Here's how it went down.
Friday, Feb. 16: We started reading aloud at Troy's room at 3 p.m., alternating every five pages. We finished Book I (213 pages) at 1 a.m. in my room, ending by listening to the recording of Joyce reading the final few pages in the baubling, delirious language of some washerwomen by a river. This first book was probably the most enjoyable. Troy's girlfriend's dog, Moxie, heard every word, and seemed, along with us, to be generally following the "narrative" direction.
Saturday, Feb. 17: We started reading at 11 a.m., and finished 257 pages later at 12 a.m., mid-way through Book III. I don't think I've ever spoken so many words in a day. Moxie grew increasingly anxious throughout the day as cabin fever took hold of all three participants. By the end, my voice was rusty and my mouth was dry, I had a very tenuous grasp on where the story was and where it was going, and Troy's eyes were bloodshot and watery. We were over the hill, past the midway point and securely in the final third of the book, but there was little sense of triumph, only of exhaustion and temporary relief.
Tuesday, Feb. 20: Troy left on Sunday, so we didn't pick back up until Tuesday. Reading at this point was like pulling teeth. Everybody was back from break and we wanted to be saying real words with meanings that we understood to people whom we hadn't spent almost 48 hours straight with just before, not reading nonsense words alone to one another. We gave up early, far short of our set goal.
Wednesday, Feb. 21 to Saturday, Feb. 24: Over these four days, we read short sections, inching closer and closer to Book IV, the final chapter that I had promised Troy was far more fun and comprehensible than the rest. This turned out to really only be true for the part I'd already read, the final few pages of ALP's monologue as she decides to leave her home. This speech is so heartachingly poignant and direct that, for me, it nearly overwrites the hundreds of pages of sketches and jokes before.
What I found most surprising, I think, was how unsurprising I found the majority of Finnegans Wake. It was, in fact, almost exactly what I thought it would be, and had been led to believe: a maddening, boring, profoundly self-indulgent and fascinating work by a genius who decided he no longer needed to communicate with anyone or anything other than his own intellect and knowledge. Instead, he left a work that one could make equally compelling arguments is about "everything" and "nothing": a work made up of glimpses, mirrors, hidden treasures, murmurs, galloping rhythms and swirling chaos and thousands of puns, and he dared the world to try to make sense of it. Troy and I hardly tried, instead resigning ourselves to a degree of incomprehension and finding solace and entertainment in the more coherent sections.
And this sense of recurring bewilderment offset by momentary recognition was, I think, the most valuable part of the experience. We were lost in the foaming, spewing maw of a great storm, gasping for air; and now and again we would find something, sometimes just a little piece of driftwood and other times an entire log, to hold to for a moment before the waves pulled us back into this storm with no discernible center, beginning or end. Those moments of respite were brief, but they were powerful; and more than anything they confirmed that we were moving, touching new things, not simply at the mercy of random, overpowering waves. And so, in this way, I suppose I did go on a trip over February break.

Q: FluentNHibernate está montando a consulta errada Prezados,
Após fazer o mapeamento das tabelas, fiz a consulta a uma delas para então retornar a informação "filha". O sql foi montado corretamente, contudo o nome da coluna chave (PK) foi alterado o que fez acontecer um erro na execução do script. O script está correto, mas o nome da coluna pk da tabela pessoa foi escrita errada. Vejam:
CONSULTA
var partePessoas = (from pdoc in Sessao.Query<PessoaDocumento>()
                    let documento = pdoc.NumDocPess.Trim()
                    where documento.Equals(numDocumento)
                    select pdoc.Pessoa.Parte).ToList().Distinct();

Script montado:
select parte2_.CodParte     as col_0_0_,

 }

E assim:
public PessoaDocumentoMapa()

            (...)
            References(p => p.Pessoa, "CodPess").ForeignKey("CodPess");

Sexual Harassment: Not in my Community
OFF LIMITS: BUILDING SEXUAL HARASSMENT-FREE ZONES
Sexual harassment contributes to a continuum of violence against women felt throughout our culture. With the goal of preventing and eventually eliminating sexual harassment in our workplaces, schools and communities, each individual action brings us one step closer to a sexual harassment-free zone. By bringing Denim Day to your constituency, you can help accelerate change.
WHAT IS A SEXUAL HARASSMENT-FREE ZONE?
An environment where sexual harassment behavior is not tolerated. People are expected to treat each other with respect and dignity. The creation of a sexual harassment-free zone requires the support, commitment and attentiveness on the part of everyone in the community from residents and leaders, to patrons and institutions.
The Off-Limits Philosophy
Violence is learned, it can be unlearned.
Sexual harassment is preventable; it is not inevitable.
Sexism, racism and other socially sanctioned forms of violence affect interpersonal relationships.
Sexual harassment must be taken seriously.
Men and boys must be educated about accountability but not by being seen as the "enemy."
Empowerment lies in moving through victimization, not in being stuck in it.
Ending sexual harassment is a complex process. Communities must work together, with support from our institutions, to provide a positive future for us all.
Everyone is capable of taking responsibility for creating sexual harassment-free zones at work and in other environments.
Bring Denim Day to your constituents: Action Plan
NAME IT!
Declare your community a "sexual harassment-free zone.
BRING DENIM DAY TO YOUR Constituents
Promote Denim Day community-wide and encourage your constituents to wear denim on April 24th.
Include Denim Day messaging and announcements on your official communication plan and encourage people to wear jeans on Denim Day.
HOST A SEXUAL Violence Prevention Event
Book an event at a public space after work, during lunch or a coffee break or even a meeting to talk about sexual violence. Creating spaces for discussions to raise awareness and dispelling myths about sexual violence is central to understanding the barriers to ending sexual violence such as sexual harassment and abuse in our communities.
In Los Angeles, Peace Over Violence representatives are available as a resource; reach out for more information.
RUN A DOLLARS FOR DENIM FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
Dollars for Denim is a fundraising campaign that allows community leaders and elected officials to support rape prevention education and healing services for survivors by collecting donations for Peace Over Violence. To learn more visit denimdayinfo.org
Encourage your office to buy and distribute Denim Day materials like buttons and posters. Visit our online shop for details.

Lou Simoneau recounts his harrowing ordeal after his vessel hit a rock, knocking him into the salt water.
Despite everything Lou Simoneau lost on December 5, he at least came out of his ordeal with this life.
Simoneau's overnight adventure began on December 5 in the late afternoon on the Douglas Channel during a return trip to Kitimat from Butedale where he's a caretaker for the old cannery property.
He has taken the winter off and what should have been a fairly short boat trip turned into 20 hours of freezing cold temperatures.
What he said he didn't realize as he left Butedale was just how heavy the weather was on the route back.
He said he was near Coste Island when things went south. His diesel engine quit on him, in the middle of rough seas.
He called the Coast Guard right away, but it was the last chance he'd get to talk to them before his boat, the 28-foot Steel Eagle, struck a rock, and flung him over the rail and into the Douglas Channel.
"The boat took off on me and I was all by myself in the water," he said.
The day of the incident, the Victoria Rescue Coordination Centre reported strong outflow winds and rough seas.
In all, the marine search would draw out five ships, plus a cormorant helicopter.
But those ships wouldn't yet be deployed. Simoneau meanwhile, swimming in freezing salt water on a late afternoon in December, worked his way to shore about 50 feet away, even as the waves pulled him in and out. He was able to grab onto a rock eventually, and waited for the next wave toward shore, where he let it carry him to land.
Once on stable ground, he took time to wring out his clothing and tried to get back to his boat, which had drifted just around a corner down the shore.
But it'd be no use getting back on board, even if he could make it down the steep embankment to the water line where his boat was resting. The hole from hitting the rock was letting water in and the vessel was listing.
Materials-wise he lost a lot on that boat, from car keys to credit cards.
"I didn't even have insurance," he adds.
With his boat no longer any use to him, he had to face time to himself while hoping to get rescued.
He holed up about 30 feet into the bush, which meant he missed some opportunities for rescue when a helicopter scoured the shoreline looking for him. He would have no time to get back to the shore.
He slept on-and-off-again through the night, but with no light to read his watch he had no sense of the time.
"I was quite confused when I woke up," he said.
When it was daylight, he crawled back to the shore, and again wrung out his clothes. His feet were soaking wet.
It was when he was back on the shore and visible that rescue came.
The plane didn't see him right away, but it turned sharply and came back from the other direction, where the pilots on board noticed a gas can along the shore.
The Gordon Reid is a Canadian Coast Guard ship.
Simoneau, or as he says he's sometimes known, Butedale Lou, credits some outdoor experience as what helped him survive, but he said he's never had quite the ordeal as what he survived.
He worked for 25 years in the pipeline business and has experience as a rancher, so he said he was used to outdoor sleeping.
But he's quick to point out that's in a nice, dry sleeping bag. If there had been more snow he could have also buried himself in it.
But state-of-mind would also be critical. He had to forget about what he had lost on the boat.
"After I got caught in the dark I was worried about my boat because I had a lot of stuff in there," he said. But then he turned his mind away from that.
Even so, after a night outdoors with no supplies and soaking wet, he's come out in amazingly good shape considering.
After the winter he will be returning to Butedale, and he said he does have another boat.
He'll just hope for better seas the next time around.
