The return of the King

In my story the Kingdom, I have imagined the King to be like Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings.  Aragorn is a King but to the Hobbits he is a ranger called Strider, their guide and protector.  If you watched the Return of the King, you saw Strider become ho he was born to be; the King of Gondor.

The story reminds me of our own world.  Right now, we’ve got our own nightmare version of Mordor with the eye of Sauron (Horus) glaring at us and enemies pouring out the gates, bent on conquest.

The Church has been holding back the darkness for 2,000 years, but the lights are going out in places.  The tiny nation of Israel is holding the Jihadists back in the Middle East.  They are God’s chosen people and an outpost of freedom, but Christians are persecuted elsewhere.

As I write this ancient churches with Aramaic speaking Christians are being wiped out in Syria and Iraq.  Europe is in peril with its large Moslem populations.  The most common name for babies from Brussels to Oslo is now “Mohammed”.  It doesn’t bode well for the West.

And that’s just one of the world’s problems.  The Phoenix is rising.  We’ve got the Illuminati and the banksters thinking they’re the chosen ones, and they want to rule a depopulated world with us as their slaves.

All of this has been foretold in the Bible.  We await the return of our King in the second coming of Christ.  This is not a vain hope.  The Bible says in 2 Peter 3:5-9  I have paraphrased it here;

Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation …..

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.  The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”

Jesus will defeat Satan and sit on the throne at Jerusalem.  Israel who was back in their land in unbelief will look on their Messiah, the one they have pierced, and weep as God pours out on them a spirit of grace and supplication.  (Zechariah 12:10).

We are familiar with Jesus portrayed as a lamb – gentle, meek and mild … although I don’t like the pictures and statues where He is forever on the cross, or he’s the little baby Jesus sitting on Mary’s lap.  He’s little and she’s really big!  I don’t think so.  He was her Lord.  But what does He look like, as a King?  Does the Bible show us?

On the Lord’s day nealy 2,000 years ago, the apostle John saw Jesus as a King.  Here is what John  saw.  I’ve written it as a story;

Lion 1The Throne Room (Book of Revelation, chapter 5)

The man called John stood before the throne of God speechless with wonder.  Was he dead?  He pinched himself.  The last thing he could remember was an open door.  Now he was here.  He looked down at his feet.  What was he standing on?  The floor looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.  The colours reflected there were indescribable.

A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the one on the throne.  In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing.  The one on the throne was resplendent in amber and ruby coloured light.  Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders dressed in white with crowns of gold upon their heads.

In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures unlike anything the man had ever beheld on Earth.  The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like an eagle.  Each of the four living creatures had six wings with eyes all around, even under their wings.

From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder.  The court was in session.

In the right hand of the one who sat on the throne was a scroll with writing on both sides, sealed with seven seals. A mighty angel proclaimed in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”  No one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.

The man wept and wept because no one was worthy to open the scroll or look inside.  He wept because the scroll held the title deed to the world – which Adam had lost.  No man could get it back, they were a fallen race.

Lion of JudahThen one of the elders looked from his throne and said to the man, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

The man remembered that long ago in Egypt Jacob had prophesied;

“You are a lion’s cub, Judah; you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness–who dares to rouse him?
The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his. Genesis 49:9

Wiping away his tears he beheld Judah’s descendant, the Lion of God.

The Lion took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sat on the throne. John could see the scars from where the Lamb had been slain.  With his blood he had purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. He made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve the one on the throne, and they were to reign on the earth.

The Lamb would return as the Lion.  The obedience of the nations would be his.  Holding the scroll, the King roared.

The elders and four creatures around the throne worshiped him, along with angels numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand.  The Lion of God shook his mane of hair and accepted their worship.  One word came from them all; “WORTHY!”

Little Women Legacy: All Smiles from Silicon Valley with KL Allendoerfer, Featured Author

This week I am featured on Pink Umbrella Books’ blog! This appearance is part of a blog tour featuring contributing authors to “Alcott’s Imaginary Heroes,” an anthology for the 150th Anniversary of Little Women.

In this blog post series, we’ll feature contributing authors from our new anthology, Alcott’s Imaginary Heroes: The Little Women Legacy. Today we’ll catch up with KL Allendoerfer, California-based writer, science educator, and musician.

Contributor KL Allendoerfer reads Little Women with “Pie,” the ubiquitous green droid in front of Silicon Valley’s Googleplex.

What is your favorite scene from Little Women?

It would be easy to say my favorite scene is the one I wrote about in my essay, in which Beth thanks Mr. Lawrence for the use of his piano and they become friends. I do love that scene, but there are so many others as well. I think the one that most got under my skin, and that I remembered many years later, was Jo’s disaster of a dinner party when Marmee decides to let the girls run things themselves. It shows Louisa has a wonderful sense of…

Little Women Legacy: Sounding Off From Puget Sound with K.R. Karr, Featured Author

Pink Umbrella Publishing is doing a blog series on the authors of “Alcott’s Imaginary Heroes.” Meet K.R. Karr, another West Coast author with German connections!

In this blog post series, we’ll feature contributing authors from our new anthology, Alcott’s Imaginary Heroes: The Little Women Legacy. Today we’ll catch up with K.R. Karr, West Coast writer and academic.

What is your favorite scene from Little Women?

My favorite scene from Little Women is when Jo comes home with her hair cut, having sold it to pay for Marmee’s train ticket after Mr. March is wounded in battle. This scene really demonstrates to me Jo’s inner qualities, as well as her love for her family.

Who are some of your other “imaginary heroes” from literature?

I love this phrase “imaginary heroes” and some of mine include Emily of Deep Valley, Jane Eyre, Cassandra Mortmain of I Capture the Castle, Renee in Colette’s The Vagabond, Lucy Honeychurch and George…

Little Women Legacy: Getting Bookish with Susan Bailey, Featured Author

Pink Umbrella Books is doing a series of blogs of featuring the authors of the “Alcott’s Imaginary Heroes” Anthology. This post features Susan W Bailey of “Louisa Alcott is My Passion.” I learned about the anthology on her blog, and have learned a lot about Louisa from her!

In this blog post series, we’ll feature contributing authors from our new anthology, Alcott’s Imaginary Heroes: The Little Women Legacy. Today we’ll catch up with Susan Bailey, author, Louisa May Alcott devotee, and proud New Englander!

Contributor Susan Bailey cozies up with The Annotated Little Women in Massachusetts.

What is your favorite scene from Little Women?

My favorite scene is when Beth runs over to thank Mr. Laurence, impulsively puts her arms around his neck and kisses him, and ends up sitting in his lap. I thought that took a lot of guts to do that! I am a typical Yankee (“frozen chosen” as they call us in New England) – quite reserved, especially when it comes to showing physical affection, and I know I would have been far too self-conscious to do what Beth did. She totally forgot herself in the spirit of love and gratitude towards…

In My Hand

newpinkumbrellalogoYesterday a small package arrived with two author copies of Alcott’s Imaginary Heroes. I’d sort of been expecting it; when I saw the pink umbrella on the envelope I knew what it was. (And I already know what I’m getting family and friends for Christmas this year–LOL!)

It still took me a little bit by surprise, though. In this era of e-books and Kindle Unlimited and Print-on-Demand, paperbacks are something of a novelty.

Illustration from “Little Women,” 1870. Library of Congress. From Lapham’s Quarterly

I mean, really, this is a book about the 150th anniversary of Little Women. This iconic picture of Jo March also represents her creator Louisa May Alcott: a woman, pen in hand, writing on paper, “scribbling” in the attic. It has to be on paper.

Or does it? Wouldn’t Louisa have at least dabbled in e-publishing if she had the chance? My guess is, yes, absolutely. She would have published her plays and potboilers and gained a wide following on the internet. And Friedrich Bhaer would just have had to smile and get over it.

But there’s still something special about holding your book in your hand:

A Tale of Two Editors: the makings of The Little Women Legacy

A fun interview with Merry Gordon and Marnae Kelly, the editors of Alcott’s Imaginary Heroes. As someone who moved to New York and married a German guy in real life, I am naturally Team Friedrich!

Much ado about Little Women

I had to ask: Team Laurence or Team Bhaer? Editors Merry Gordon and Marnae Kelly talk Jo March’s ending, how they’d put the March sisters to work at Pink Umbrella Books (not just work of course – they’d go on holiday too), and surprises for fans in the to-be-released anthology, Alcott’s Imaginary Heroes: The Little Women Legacy.

Jo March’s ending – Jo with Friedrich Bhaer, Jo with Theodore Laurence, Jo single, or something else?

MERRY: I’m Team Friedrich. Unpopular opinion, perhaps, but Laurie is such a puppy.

MARNAE: I’m a big Bhaer fan because of the equality of minds in that relationship and the opportunities for growth in both characters.

Who of all the March sisters would you go on holiday with, where would you go, and why?

MERRY: I’d take an English holiday with Jo – specifically to hit up the literary landmarks, as we are kindred spirits that way.

Little Women 150th Anniversary Anthology

My copy of Little Women, shown here on my daughter’s bed, is over 40 years old. My mother read it to me and I was happy to read it to my daughter when she was about 12.

This scene, of a mother and daughters gathered around a piano singing together, has always touched me, even though it is more substantial to me in imagination than in real life.

In real life I’m a shy, tremulous singer and a self-taught one-finger picker of keyboard melodies. Instead I have found a voice on the violin and viola, and in writing. My family members are not singers either, although both my kids have played, or still play, various non-piano instruments. We played together when they were younger, but teenagers tend not to want to play with mom so much.

Several years ago, when Susan Cain’s book Quiet, the Power of Introverts came out, I was reading Little Women to my daughter, then in 7th grade. We lived in the Boston area then, close enough that we could visit Orchard House, and we did so twice, once for the Girl Scout troop my daughter was a member of, and again years later for her Coming-of-Age class at our UU church.

I started to think about the March girls according to their temperaments, introvert or extravert. In particular, I was able to put my feelings about Beth March in a different context. In the past I had always been a little ashamed that I identified so strongly with Beth. In the book, she was too quiet and introverted to live. What did that mean for me and others like me? I wrote these thoughts down and put them first in a blog post, and then in an essay that I submitted to a new anthology for the 150th Anniversary of Little Women.

I just found that my essay has been accepted for publication in the anthology, which will be coming out later this year, from Pink Umbrella books.

newpinkumbrellalogoFor generations, children around the world have come of age with Louisa May Alcott’s March girls. Their escapades and trials punctuated our own childhoods—maybe we weren’t victims of “lime-shaming,” like Amy, and we probably didn’t chop off our locks for the cause, like Jo, but Alcott’s messages of society and independence, family love, and sacrifice resonate over a century later. 2018 marks the 150th anniversary of Little Women, published to wide acclaim in 1868.

On Saturday, October 26th Wilbur J. “Red” Raville passed away at the age of 88. He was at peace -surrounded by his family, his music, and Phyllis, his wife of 63 years.
He was a beloved bandleader, teacher, husband, parent, and grandparent. Onstage and off, Red was funny, generous and always kind. He used his wit, his generosity and - above all - his love of music, to build a community. That community repaid Red with adoration, support and the honking of car horns.
At every phase of his long and happy life he made friends easily and held onto them. The youngest of Joseph and Dora Raville’s four children, Red was born on November 11, 1930 in Malone, NY. It was in Malone that he first learned Piano and Trumpet - attending Franklin Academy playing in the Malone Town Band and playing his first dance jobs at just 13. At the New York State Teachers College at Potsdam and in the Delta Kappa Fraternity, he built friendships that lasted for the rest of his life. After earning his Masters in Music Education from the Crane School of Music he enlisted in the Army, playing in the Fort Hamilton Army Band in Brooklyn.
While serving his country in New York City he learned the French horn from Arthur Berv of the NBC Symphony and was forever touched by attending Arturo Toscanini’s final performance.
Red’s first job after the military was at Potsdam, where he met and danced with Phyllis Corbin, then a music librarian at the Crane School of Music. His red hair caught her attention, and his good humor kept her happy, in love, and together for 63 years. After their marriage on June 9th, 1956 the young couple moved to the Earlville Central School District. 54 years later he would be inducted into the school’s hall of fame and received the Lifetime Arts Award from the Chenango County Council on the Arts for his many contributions as a music and vocal teacher.
He created the Sherburne Community Chorus, Red Raville’s Big Band Sounds, and The Mid-York Shining Brass Band. He became the conductor of the Smyrna Citizens Band, where each beautiful musical number was followed by the sound of car horns honking their appreciation into the summer night. He was the organist and choir director at St. Malachy’s Catholic Church, Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, and the United Church of Christ - all in Sherburne.
Red and Phyllis did all this while raising four children and helping to raise four of their grandchildren - taking them in when they were in need. His family knows that Red is now surrounded by the horses and chickens that he loved so much in life. That he is playing music and tending to his vegetable garden. That he has already organized at least one heavenly choir and will greet his family with his trademark good humor and generosity.
Red is predeceased by his two brothers Lawrence and Edward Raville. Survived by his wife Phyllis Raville, sister Burneda Ford, his children David (Linda) Raville of Glen Falls, Leslie Myrick of Earlville, Steven (Christine) Raville of Sherburne , Jeannine Jeter of Greenfield Center, and his Grandchildren: Shawn, Stacy, Shannon, Mykel, Neith, Svante, Shalita, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Joseph along with 7 great grandchildren.
Calling hours will begin at 1:00pm Saturday November 2, 2019 at the Sherburne Episcopal Church of the Epiphany. A funeral service will follow at 3pm.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Smyrna Citizens Band and the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany in Sherburne. And wherever you are at 4pm this Saturday, if Red or his music ever touched you, his family asks you to kindly honk your car horn.

My deep condolences to you, Phyllis, and your family. Red was a highly respected fellow teacher and Ken was honored to have been encouraged by your husband to play guitar in his jazz group. I remember when you had just moved to Lake Craine and wondered if that was poison ivy you thought you had on your new property. You asked Ken for his advice and Ken said "yes, one of the very few places in this area that we have it". Weren't you lucky?!!
We always thought of you as neighbors though we weren't all that nearby. Sending you many good thoughts. Stay Strong.

Mr Raville was my music and band instructor
at the Earlville School in my 7th&8th grade levels. He chose me to play the part of the sad girl in the play our drama class was putting on. It turned out to be one of the most fun memories I have of my junior high years.
Thank you Mr Raville for that memory!

Wilbur “Red” Raville was a fine son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, teacher and musician. From our first meeting at the Crane School of Music and until his passing, we stayed in touch, saw each other when possible, and vacationed together with our wives. I will miss knowing he is a couple hours down the road. A wake is the mourning of a passing, but also the celebration of a life well lived. Do both!

Jeannine, So sorry to hear about the loss of your father. What an incredible Dad you were blessed with. Sending hugs, prayers, and strength your way. Mary White

BPA won’t pay negative prices to get wind power producers to curtail

Michael Giberson

At a December 2010 meeting, the federal Bonneville Power Agency announced that it would not pay wind power producers in its area to curtail during overgeneration events that sometimes result from the way the agency manages water flow through hydropower facilities to comply with environmental regulations.

When reservoirs are full, the BPA’s dams can either generate power or spill any excess water. High water conditions common during late spring in the Pacific Northwest sometimes put the BPA up against environmental limits on how much water it can spill, so driving it to want to produce and distribute as much power as possible. (Spilling too much water leads to high concentrations of dissolved gas in the water, a hazard to fish.)  In the past, BPA would essentially give away power in order to maximize power generation, and utilities in the area were happy to take the cheap power and shut down their thermal power plants which were costly to run.

Over the past few years, however, the growth of wind power in the BPA’s area has presented the agency with a new problem. Wind power producers who can obtain from $20 to $40 per MWh in federal and state subsidies while they are producing power don’t want to shut down for nothing. If the BPA wants to curtail them, they’d like to be compensated for their losses. The BPA says it will not pay; in a statement it explains why:

While one possible outcome would be for BPA to compensate wind generators the value of the foregone incentives, BPA does not believe that is an appropriate consequence of actions taken to protect fish. …  Currently, qualifying renewable energy receives PTCs and/or RECs when it generates, and the cost is shared broadly by taxpayers. If BPA were to pay negative prices to comply with ESA and the Clean Water Act during high runoff events, the cost burden would shift and would be narrowly focused on BPA preference customers. We do not think the law was designed to place this cost burden on a narrow class of utility ratepayers, and we are not prepared to initiate this change.

The BPA claims it has sufficient legal authority under existing generator interconnection agreements to implement its new policy of “environmental dispatch,” but to clearly articulate the authority it will unilaterally amend provisions of its standard generation interconnection agreements to reflect the policy.

In areas with RTO/ISO power markets, negative prices are now the conventional way for coordinating resource supplies during periods of potential overgenation (mostly also involving high wind power among other contributing factors).

3 thoughts on “BPA won’t pay negative prices to get wind power producers to curtail

  1. Bravo BPA… but not because wind is bad like Fat Man implies. Bravo BPA because the subsidies wind power recieves are only justified if the energy they produce is useful… if it’s energy that is only worth a negative price, it’s pretty clearly not useful.

  2. BPA’s motivation likely more financial than heroic. It isn’t so much that they are worried about what wind power plants gets paid, but they do worry about what they get paid for all the extra power they are trying to shop around. In a pinch they’ll give it away cheap, but they don’t want to actually have to pay people to take it.

    In the RTO markets I tend to think that allowing prices to go negative is a fine idea – let power producers and power consumers work out at what price is needed to balance the market. BPA is not a market, they’re a federal power agency with significant market positions (in generation and transmission) and many legal and regulatory restrictions on how they can operate. I don’t pretend to have a clue as to whether allowing negative prices would be an improvement in the current BPA environment.

Zinn, a veteran of the war himself, notes that “it was the most popular war the US ever fought”, [15] but states that this support may have been manufactured through the institutions of American society. Zinn believes this was possible because both conservatives and liberals willingly worked together in the name of anti-Communism. He understood that America’s various radicalisms, far from being “un-American,” have propelled the nation toward more humane and democratic arrangements. Listening to Zinn, one would have thought historians still considered Samuel Eliot Morison ‘s book on Columbus to be definitive. Authority control MusicBrainz work: Get the Teacher Edition.

zinn chapter 5 thesis conclusion

Author Write something about yourself. Professor Zinn writes with an enthusiasm rarely encountered in the leaden prose of academic history, and his text is studded with telling quotations from labor leaders, war resisters and fugitive slaves.

Zinn also tries to dispel the popular belief that opposition to the war was mainly among college students and middle-class intellectuals, using statistics from the era to show higher opposition from the working class.

Is this thesis different from other historians and whst so, how? I do agree with him. Zinn portrays the wars as racist and imperialist and opposed by large segments of the American people. How does this chapter support. After all the Indians did for was good to Columbus, they showed hospitality thesix traded but in the end Columbus stabbed them in the back with his ruthless actions.

He cites various instances of opposition to fighting in some cases greater than those during World War I as proof.

The Mexican military had, in short, done exactly what Polk wanted them to do: He characterized the book as iis overly simplistic narrative of elite villains and oppressed people, with no attempt to understand historical actors in the context of the time in which they lived.

Fans of the English international soccer team turned on Mick Jagger last night after they crashed out of the 2018 World Cup, losing 2-1 to Croatia in the competition’s semi-final.

England’s campaign equaled its 1990 semi-final achievement, the team's two best results since winning the World Cup in 1966.

Jagger’s attendance at last night’s match in Moscow had soccer fans sharing superstitious doubts before kickoff. Variety reported that every team he’s supported in a World Cup since 2010 had gone on to lose.

During the last competition in 2014, he had tweeted good luck messages to England ahead of two matches they failed to win. He then transferred his support to host nation Brazil, which was beaten 7-1. During the 2010 contest, he supported Team USA, which lost to Ghana while he watched.

The Rolling Stones singer wasn’t always a bad omen – one fan pointed out that he had worn an Italy shirt at a concert in 1982, and Italy had won the World Cup that same day. Just to be safe, however, fans of France and Croatia, who’ll meet in this year’s final on July 15, lined up to beg him not to offer his support for their teams.

Devastated England fans last night resorted to the Oasis anthem “Don’t Look Back in Anger” to cheer them up after the loss. Former player Gary Lineker – who holds England’s record for goals scored during the World Cup finals – tweeted a video clip of the moment, registering his approval and appreciation of their spirit.

The 1995 song, written by Noel Gallagher, has been adopted as a shared expression of heartbreak since the concert bombing in Oasis’ hometown of Manchester in May 2017, after a performance by Ariana Grande. At the memorial concert held later in the year, Coldplay and Grande sang the song together, while U2 and Metallica have both offered fans an opportunity to sing along to it at their shows.

Home Arrival Korcula Old Town Lumbarda Vrnik Defora Archipelago Taxi Water Taxi

Korcula Old Town

Korcula Old Town is a popular place to visit for anyone who is visiting the area around Dubrovnik, Split or Peljesac in Croatia. It is a small medieval walled town that was built on the tiny peninsula on the northeast coast of the Korcula island. The town is also known to be referred to as ‘a small Dubrovnik‘ due to its resemblance to the more popular tourist spot.

Photo: views over Korcula Old Town

The old town itself is just about a few hundred meters long and under one hundred meters wide which make it easy to walk around and explore its streets, old houses, palaces, churches, museums, and town walls.

Getting to the old town:

You can get to Korcula’s old town by bus or ferry from Dubrovnik, Split, Mljet, Hvar, Brac or Makarska. From Zadar or even from Zagreb or Plitvice Lakes you can also take a direct daily bus. There are no trains nor planes that get to here so the only public transport is bus or ferry.

Photo: small foot passenger ferry that takes people from the mainland (Orebic) to the Old Town

If you are driving you can get here by ferry from Orebic on Peljesac or by ferry to Vela Luka from Split and then drive to the Old town. It will take you about 40 minutes. Once you arrive you can park here either on the hourly basis on the eastern harbour of the old town or further up above the town near the shopping centre where you can leave your car for day or two, week or even months. From there it will take just about 10 minutes to reach the old town which is a car-free zone.

If you are considering taking a taxi, here is a telephone number.

Photo: Old Town’s port where the ferry from Dubrovnik, Mljet, Hvar, Brac, Makarska and Split arrives.

What to see in Korcula Old Town:

Photo: Old Town’s entrance from the port

The town walls and its forts and towers are the musts to see in the old town. There are also several museums, churches, and palaces which are great to visit. Walking along the streets and all around the old town’s peninsula is a good starting point for exploring it further. Don’t miss to visit the birth house of Marco Polo.

To see towns beautiful shape the best views are from a high, vantage viewing point that offers panoramic views of the Old Town is from the street above the town and hill of Forteca.

It takes about 15 minutes to walk and reach this point along the street and steps of street Ulica Bernarda Bernardi.

On your way back just walk further and along the street Put Svetog Nikole to see beautiful western facades of the old town’s houses, walls, and cathedral. You can also take a similar tour using a boat that you hired.

Another great thing to do if you wish to see town walls is to rent a kayak to paddle around the shore of the old town. The alternative is to take a ride on the local semi-submarine or take a water taxi to give you a short ride along the town walls and fortifications. Same apply for cycling along the town streets that offers views over the old town.

See some info about the history of the island, about medieval sword dance Moreska , the statute of the town and St Mark’s Cathedral.

Tour of Korcula Old Town:

The best and easiest way to see the old town is to take a guided tour organized by local, born and bred guides from Korcula.  If you wish to book one in advance let me know. I will make sure you get the best local guide available!

Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars in the Old Town:

There are numerous restaurants and tapas bars in the old town. You can get here great ice creams, coffee and cakes, try the lovely local cuisine of fish, meat or vegetarian dishes, have good meals and occasional tapas in local wine bars where you can taste locally grown and produced white and red wines.

Some of the eating and drinking places offer good value for money while others are overpriced and can make you feel like you got caught into the tourist trap.  My suggestion is to check menus and prices even for drinks, not only for meals.

A friend of mine told me recently that a friend of a friend got into the bar where he ended up paying his beer 80 HRK (12 Euro). This is so overpriced. I suggest you to always check prices before you sit anywhere in the old town. There is plenty of places that offer good value for money and rip off places should be avoided at all costs.

As you most probably know, a good starting point to keep on the safe side is to check restaurant reviews on the TripAdvisor site.

Beaches in the Old Town:

Photo: Small pebble beach in the Old Town

You can swim and sunbath in the Old town on several spots including eastern, northern and western shore. Most of the beaches and spots are rocks while there are two small pebble beaches right in front of the old town’s towers and walls (see below and above photo)

Photo: Pebble beach on the north side of the Old Town

People swim in the open waters here between April and October. The rest of the year is considered to be too cold to swim. Nevertheless, sunbathing is available all year round!

Where to stay in the Old Town:

Several hotels, numerous private rooms, and apartments are all available for a stay here. There is no campsite in the old town, however, there are 3 or 4 camping grounds on about several kilometres away from here, the nearest one on about 20 minutes walk in Porto Pedoci bay which is halfway between Korcula town and Lumbarda. If you wish to book your accommodation in the old town you can do it here.

There are several tapas and wine bars as well as bars with live music along the streets of the old town. There are also some bars with live music that are outside of the old town.

Some of them have local DJ’s that mix contemporary music while others have live bands playing anything from soft rock, Latino, folk to traditional jazz sessions.

Most of the music stops around midnight while there is a place or two where you can enjoy music until the early hours.

Old Town Map:

September 13, 2019 | As of today, Blackmagic has officially released their own plugin for Adobe Premiere and Avid Media Composer allowing for full decoding of their popular Blackmagic Raw (.BRAW) format. Blackmagic’s own editorial and animation software, Resolve and Fusion has had this addition for a while but this is the first time Blackmagic has reached across the aisle to support their competitors. Of course, adoption of Blackmagic Raw has amazing implications for Blackmagic and all of their hardware and camera products so the move makes sense.

Before today’s release, users of Adobe Premiere had to work with a 3rd Party plugin known as Autokroma’s BRAW Studio, and there are several reasons to continue using this plugin. Aside from this, users of Premiere Pro now have two choices with more to come in the future.

Blackmagic’s new plugin integration in Premiere

For those living under a rock, Blackmagic Raw is a self-contained raw format much like the format for Red Cameras, R3D. Most of the higher-end raw formats are different and take the form of Raw Image Sequences. This is because traditional and some say “real” raw formats take the form of raw still files versus Video/Audio wrapped formats. To convert video to a series of still files, each frame of video is recorded into a serialized still raw format. This is common for cameras such as Arri Alexa, Sony F55, Blackmagic Ursa and Production 4K Cameras and so many more. BRAW is a self-contained, simplified video file format that is extremely easy to use like Apple Prores or Cineform. While we do have formats like Prores Raw, BRAW has the potential of reaching further than Prores as Apple tends to hold their formats hostage and exclusive to their own software while Blackmagic has released their raw format for everyone, fully open-source, for free.

So, will Blackmagic Raw take over? It definitely has potential. If you would like to download the Blackmagic Plugin for your Adobe Premiere or Avid Media Composer, check out the following links:

The magic number is three for El Paso high school football teams: three weeks left, three weeks to make a case for a playoff run and three games left for district titles to be crowned.

Week nine of the El Paso high school football scene features an interesting slate of games from three separate districts.

Lets start in our YMCA Game of the Week, as Austin takes on Irvin in a 2-5A-2 matchup that could determine playoff seeding. Irvin (3-0) and Austin (3-1) are ranked second and third place, respectively, behind Andress (3-0). Irvin is riding a four-game win streak, while Austin has won three in a row.

In 1-6A, Americas shocked Pebble Hills last night in a 39-21 finish to completely mess the standings for the district. Now, Franklin (2-0 in 1-6A) will look to be the frontrunners at the district title if they can beat out Montwood (1-1) tonight and Pebble Hills next week. The rest of the playoff spots will be determined by Montwood, Pebble Hills, Americas and Coronado, but this could be a sticky mess.

The slate for 1-5A-2 this week will be seen as a seeding frenzy too, with matchups between Ysleta-Riverside, Canutillo-Hanks and Horizon-Parkland. As of now, Parkland and Ysleta seem to be the favorable No. 1 and No. 2 spot in this district, with a three-way battle between Canutillo, Hanks and Horizon for the final two spots. Canutillo-Hanks could be a matchup for playoff contention, while Horizon and Riverside could jeopardize playoff contention with losses.

After a huge upset over Del Valle last week, Eastwood (2-0 in 5A-1) can lead the way in 5A-1 for the district title leaders with a win over Chapin (2-0) tonight. Teams like Del Valle (1-1), Eastlake (0-2) and El Dorado (1-1) are still vying for possible playoff contention, so this week will be key for each team in terms of seeding. Should El Dorado or Bel Air lose today, they are likely out of playoff contention.

Here's this week's schedule:

  • Austin (3-1, 6-2) @ Irvin (3-0, 6-1)
  • Montwood (1-1, 3-4) @ Franklin (5-2, 2-0)
  • Chapin (2-0, 3-4) @ Eastwood (2-0, 4-3)
  • Del Valle (1-1, 4-2) @ Bel Air (0-2, 0-7)
  • Ysleta (1-1, 6-1) @ Riverside (1-1, 3-4)
  • Horizon (3-4, 1-1) @ Parkland (2-0, 6-0-1)
  • Canutillo (1-1, 3-4) @ Hanks (0-2, 3-4)
  • Burges (2-1, 4-2-1) @ Bowie (0-3, 2-5)
  • Andress (3-0, 5-2) @ El Paso (1-3, 3-5)
  • Eastlake (0-2, 3-4) @ El Dorado (1-1, 1-6)
  • Clint (1-6) @ San Elizario (5-2)
  • Mountain View (4-3) @ Fabens (4-3)

Dark Elf

From Lineage 2 Revolution Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Dark Elf
Dark Elf.PNG
Delf class image.png

The Dark Elves are one of the four playable races in Lineage 2: Revolution.

Summary[edit | edit source]

Brown Elves were expelled by the Elves for their radical beliefs, and are skilled in dark magic. Although they used to worship the goddess Shilen, their race's downfall has led them to deny their faith.

Official Summary[edit | edit source]

The Giran Harbor was once the center of all trade in Giran, but no longer. Ol Mahum bandits surround the harbor, while undead pirates haunt the waves. The Silverlight Mercenaries know that the appearance of the undead pirates in the harbor is not a random event, and are determined to get to the bottom of this.

To discover the root cause, adventurers will need to travel to the Devil’s Isle. However, before they can embark, they’ll need to set things right in the harbor. The Dark Brotherhood is also nearby and moving quickly to achieve their goals. They intend to explore the secrets of the Giants to speed the resurrection of Beleth along. Perhaps the undead pirates are related to the Dark Brotherhood?

Classes[edit | edit source]

Like all of the races, the Dark Elves can choose one of three basic classes: Warrior, Ranger, Mage.

Jobs[edit | edit source]

The Dark Elf class can choose from the following jobs:

Warrior Shillien Knight Bladedancer
Rogue Abyss Walker Phantom Ranger
Mage Spellhowler Shillien Elder

Deepest, Darkest Devon: Postbridge to Bovey Tracey

Postbridge lies on the fringe of Bellever Forest, right in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, and is best known for its medieval clapper bridge. We’d crossed it the previous evening, but as we hadn’t had time to admire it properly a detour first thing in the morning was in order. After eating our fill of cereals, we set off into Postbridge, opting for the dirt tracks instead of the main road.

Dartmoor’s Heartland: Other-Worldly Woodland and Peat Bogs

I was expecting bleak expanses of moorland, shrouded in fog. What I experienced was the polar opposite: blistering heat and clear, blue skies. If I had to choose a favourite day in Dartmoor National Park, it’d be the one spent hiking to Postbridge, via Princetown (for that all-important cream tea) and Wistman’s Wood (a magical spot which, in misty conditions, would be a dead ringer for the Forbidden Forest).

More Tors and Burrator Reservoir

I’m used to waking up under canvas on hiking trips; on this trip, we branched out into the world of camping pods and B&Bs. I woke snug as a (fried) bug, toasted by the underfloor heating. Outside, blue skies, sunshine and footpaths (twenty-odd miles of them) beckoned.

Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho: To Tavistock We Go

First stop: Tavistock, a stannary and market town on the fringe of Dartmoor National Park. From Exeter, it should have been two trains (down to Plymouth, up to Gunnislake) and a bus ride away, leaving us with a short, scenic walk across the moorland to our accommodation. Two trains in, outside Gunnislake station, those plans unravelled.

Snapshots of Dartmoor National Park

Dartmoor National Park is peat bogs, pine forests and ponies (lots of ponies); mile upon mile of open moorland, crowned with tors; and stars – more than I could count, than I’ve ever seen before – twinkling against inky skies. Over Easter, Laurence and I spent five days hiking across Dartmoor National Park, sampling cream teas, exploring market towns and quaint villages and getting very (very) sunburnt along the way. I’ll retrace our footsteps through Tavistock, Princetown, Postbridge and Widecombe-in-the-Moor in subsequent posts, but for now, here’s a selection of my favourite snapshots . . .

Rediscovering the Peak District

Sandwiched between Manchester and Sheffield is the UK’s oldest National Park: the Peak District. It’s a bit short on peaks (unless you class a plateau at 600-odd metres above sea level as a peak), but fortunately it more than compensates for that with its picture-perfect villages, adorable furry residents and heather-covered moorland.

Until We Meet Again, Hong Kong

It was at this point in our trip that Hermione’s Time-Turner would have come in handy: there was so much left to see, but time simply wasn’t on our side. (I’m now treating this as a bona fide reason to return, affordable flights permitting.) After a fruity breakfast of longan (similar to lychee), mango and dragon fruit we set off for Tai Wo to meet Laurence’s aunt for dim sum at Jade Garden. Being a Saturday, it was insanely busy (read: 70 people ahead of us in the queue) so we changed plans and headed elsewhere. Service was slow by Hong Kong standards, but the pineapple buns, barbeque buns, vegetable spring rolls and pan-fried dumplings were sufficiently tasty. All’s well that ends well, as the saying goes. We then wandered round Tai Wo’s market, picking up some fresh mangosteen to eat later.

I Saw What I Saw

I was in no way prepared for what God set before me today. I keep my focus on Him and I know that He will use it all…but right now I am feeling like I am in way over my head and wondering why I was chosen to see. Something is happening and suddenly all around me are the poor and I have grown kind of used to them coming to where I am but when the tables are turned it brings a fresh and very hard reality to my life. I know that even these feelings are a part of His purposes. I have never felt more dependent and insignificant and just kind of….(can’t describe). What good can I do? I mean really? I can do nothing in and of myself. I have never felt more like crawling into bed and just crying but…I know I have to keep my focus on Him. The Sara Groves song, “I Saw What I Saw” comes to mind and cuts at my heart tonight.

10 years at Hays Recruitment

August 15, 2019 - 10:00am

Barry Fellowes (Business Director) Daryl Hodgson (Senior Manager) Jeff Taylor (Director of Hays Lancashire & Cumbria)

Daryl Hodgson the Senior Office Manager at Hays Lancaster has recently celebrated his 10 year anniversary at the world’s most successful specialist recruitment business.

Jeff Taylor Director of Hays Lancashire & Cumbria commented, “Daryl started his career with Hays in Preston, working in our Construction & Property specialism, recruiting firstly for property professionals then moving on spearheading our trades & labour business, taking the latter to record levels of local workers operating within the Lancashire and South Lakes market. Daryl grasped the opportunity to open a brand new office location for Hays in 2016 when we opened Lancaster, supplying Construction, Finance, Office, Human Resources and Procurement professionals in the Lancaster & South Lakes area. Daryl and his team have made a huge impact over those last three years, having assisted in progressing the careers of over 600 local professionals.

 Some of Daryl most notable achievements include opening the first new Hays office since the early 2000’s, as well as being recognised as the best people manager in Hays UK&I for Q3 2016 out of over 100 offices, and notably the first person in the North West to win this award. His other achievements include his work on several projects that have championed local employment and local supply chain such as Talbot gateway and several student accommodation projects at Lancaster University which have had 100% local labour from Hays.

 In his 10 years working for Hays, Daryl has personally secured over 1700 placements, supporting local people to realise their passions, furthering their careers, and in turn being recognised as a trusted careers expert in the local employment market.

 Commenting on his career success so far, Daryl commented, “I am delighted to be celebrating my 10 years at Hays. I am as passionate as ever in placing local people in to local roles, and continuing to act as a career partner in the Lancaster and South Lakes area. I would like to thank all of our candidates, clients, and trusted partners in the area who continue to support us. It is a very exciting time for our area with the new link road proving successful in supporting our businesses, the exciting plans for the Eden Project in Morecambe, and the scale of development in Lancaster itself, which will no doubt create huge opportunities for the area, which is undoubtedly a fantastic area to live and work.
