Central America is by reputation not a gay-friendly place, so we were surprised to see this restaurant with a rainbow flag outside. It also had an article posted outside from last October from the New York Times which used the restaurant's existence as a symbol of how fast Nicaragua is changing.
The restaurant had pretty good food too, a fusion of Asian and Nicaraguan and Caribbean, as I recall.
The next day we were taking a van back to Leon and a professor of Spanish from the University of Oregon got on with a woman who spoke little English. We talked for a while (MIssissippi State had just beaten Oregon in NCAA basketball) and I mentioned the gay-owned restaurant.
The professor responded with contempt. "The owner is such a queer!" I braced myself for some homophobia from an unexpected source (most Americans in Nicaragua are unreconstructed leftists).
But he went on, "He's such a drama queen. He accused me of flirting with his boyfriend."
"Well, were you?"
"NOooo. He was flirting with ME. It's not my fault his boyfriend is such a little slut slut slut."
Heh.

For much of the 20th century a working-class neighbourhood, Christianshavn developed a bohemian reputation in the 1970s and it is now a fashionable, diverse and lively part of the city with its own distinctive personality, with residents tending to see themselves first as Christianshavners and then as Copenhageners. Businessmen, students, artists, hippies and traditional families with children live side-by-side.
The buildings are from 1802.
Rouen France
Situated on the historic Place du Vieux-Marché, Saint Joan of Arc church is Rouen‘s 20th century response to the medieval Gothic churches that made the reputation of the city. Its sweeping curves refers to the flame that consumed Joan of Arc on the same square in 1431. Saint Joan of Arc church was built by architect Louis Arretche and although audacious, the project was also controversial in a city that houses many beautiful medieval Gothic churches. Built in 1979, the wacky and spiky-looking memorial church is at odds with the surrounding picturesque Norman half-timbered houses. Some people see in the shape of the church an overturned long ship or the pyre on which the Saint was burnt. The church is surmounted by a trapezoidal slate roof which is elongated to form a walkway across the square. The scaly tiling of the roof matches the fish-shaped windows.
Inside, 13 stained-glass windows from the 1520-1530 form a glass wall of 500 square metres, bathing the interior in exceptional light. These fine windows were originally set in the choir of the Saint-Vincent church which was destroyed during the Second World War (its ruins are still visible today on the rue Jeanne d’Arc). However, precautions had been taken and the windows were put in safe keeping until they were incorporated into their new home some 40 years later.
The 13 panels illustrate Christ’s childhood, Passion, Crucifixion and Resurrection, and life events of Saint Peter, Saint Anne and Saint Anthony of Padua.
Place du Vieux Marché is arguably the main square of Rouen with its half-timbered houses and restaurant and dominated by the modern church of Saint Joan of Arc. The square was the site of a church (église Saint-Sauveur) which was dismantled in 1793 during the French Revolution. Its foundations were cleared during the recent renovation of the square. A small commemorative plaque and a 20 metre high cross mark the spot on which Joan of Arc was burnt alive for heresy on the 30th May 1431. Next to the church stands a small market hall, evoking the ancient tradition of trade occurring in the square as long ago as Joan of Arc’s time.
His reputation is expanding faster than the universe.
He once climbed up on the shelf above his desk just to see how it feels.
He lives vicariously in a cubicle.
He is the most interesting geek in the world.
I don't always drink caffeinated beverages, but when I do, I prefer dos Mountain Dews.
Stay caffeinated my friends.

Oñate gained a reputation as a stern ruler of both the Spanish colonists and the indigenous people. In October of 1598, a skirmish erupted when Oñate's occupying Spanish military demanded supplies from the Acoma tribe - demanding things essential to the Acoma surviving the Winter. The Acoma resisted and thirteen Spaniards were killed, amongst them Don Juan Oñate’s nephew.
In 1599, Oñate retaliated; his soldiers killed 800 villagers. They enslaved the remaining 500 women and children, and by Don Juan’s decree, the left foot of every Acoma man over the age of twenty-five was amputated. Eighty men had their left foot amputated.
In 1606, Oñate was recalled to Mexico City for a hearing into his conduct. After finishing plans for the founding of the town of Santa Fé, he resigned his post and was tried and convicted of cruelty to both Indians and colonists. He was banished from the "kingdom" of New Mexico but on appeal was cleared of all charges. Eventually Oñate went to Spain, where the king appointed him head of mining inspectors for all of Spain. He died in Spain in 1626. He is sometimes referred to as "the Last Conquistador."
Oñate is honored by some Anglo-Americans, Spanish Americans and Mexican Americans for his exploratory ventures, but is vilified by others for his cruelty to the Indians of Acoma Pueblo.
At the Oñate Monument Visitors Center northeast of Española on New Mexico highway 68 is the 1991 bronze statute dedicated to the man. In 1998 New Mexico celebrated the four hundredth anniversary of his arrival, but that same year individuals opposed to the statue cut off the statue's right foot and left a note saying, "Fair is fair." The sculptor, Reynaldo Rivera, recast the foot but the seam is still visible. Some commentators suggested leaving the statue maimed as a symbolic reminder of the foot-mutilating incident. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_de_O%c3%b1ate
Acoma Pueblo was nearly destroyed when Oñate and 70 of his men retaliated for the killing of 13 Spanish soldiers who were hurled off the side of the cliff by warriors when they tried to take grain from the pueblo storehouses in 1598, according the New Mexico Department of Tourism’s Web site. www.nmtourism.org/place/loc/travel/page/DB-place/category...
Khârn's already impressive reputation became legendary when Angron promoted the man who had shaken him out of his despair to the position of Equerry (a rank combining the roles of squire, councilor and personal confidante). Yet there were many, both amongst the World Eaters and outside it, that, while they respected Angron's choice, doubted its wisdom: the Equerry's primary role was to serve as a counterpoint to the Primarch's personality and a foil for his decisions. For all his qualities as a warrior, Khârn was neither patient nor particularly subtle, nor a great orator, and, instead of guiding and tempering his Primarch's words and decisions with wisdom, he often was second into the thickest of the fray right behind Angron, slaying anything which had escaped Angron's twin Chainaxes. Any words of tempering he might have uttered were quickly forgotten in the rush of battle. In the shadow of Angron, Khârn began to change, becoming more aggressive and unstable, reckless traits he had long kept in check rising to the surface. Angron's use of the Butcher's Nails, skull implants designed to heighten aggression, only accelerated Khârn's descent into madness. Lost in his thirst for battle, Khârn and his brothers were easy prey for the Dark Gods, and were among the first to side withHorus in his war against the Emperor. Khârn fought with a renewed fury during the Heresy, finally finding a foe worthy of his skills in the Loyalist Space Marines. It seemed that Khorne had a plan for the World Eater's captain, every gore-drenched warzone bringing Khârn closer to complete servitude to the Blood God.

Here's a little something on the rarer side, thanks to a transaction with a fellow board member.
Ghost in the Shell has taken somewhat of a beating lately. Like Dragon Ball, Ghost in the Shell is one of those series that even the most casual anime fan would have at least heard of... and much like Dragon Ball, its reputation got knocked down a peg or two due to a botched live action movie though, to be fair, was way, way better than Evolutions ever was.
I don't remember the specifics, but I do remember enough to know that the main character is Motoko Kusanagi, a human consciousness, or Ghost, that has been transferred to a humanoid body, or Shell. She's part of a special Police task force that, of course, handles all the fun missions. Through time, her look is updated somewhat but you're pretty much always guaranteed some sort of leather, and some sort of skin tight suit. Stand Alone Complex (or SAC) I believe was the first TV series, and as such I believe originated this classic look of hers.
Now, lets talk about what THIS figure is specifically. The answer is.. I really don't know. Kusanagi here is from the Yamato VMF line which appears to have died off after 4 releases or so. Roughly scaled to be 1/7, the figure retailed for 7,800 yen back in 2008. According to eBay, the aftermarket on this (and all the other VMF lines) are a wee bit higher than 7,800 yen.. like triple the amount.
Normally, this would be the end of the story, but as luck would have it, I was able to negotiate the release of this particular sample for effectively MSRP.
So here we go...
The figure set is in a giant box which is kind of sparse in terms of its contents, especially given the MSRP. Other than the main figure, the set comes with a set of bare shoulders (more on that later), a pistol, a machine gun, and a stand.. that's it. Compare that to the smaller but better geared out Figma, you can see why the larger action figure market kind of died out there for a while until PAK somehow managed to get it up and running again.
As I'm dealing with 2008 tech here, take everything I'm going to say with a grain of salt, but know that the age doesn't excuse everything.
Mentioned above, this figure is roughly in 1/7 in scale, and is the same size as the Yamato Neuromancer Yoko Littner that I picked up a month or so ago from that pawn store (spoiler alert). The 4 year gap between the two definitely shows as the overall sculpting of the Neuromancer is light years better than the VMF. Articulation gains between the two I believe are a functional waist, better upper torso movement range, and chest compress function. Overall, you're not going to get super deep range of motion like you'd expect from the skin tight suited Figma offerings.
The Neuromancer has ridiculously floppy joints, but the VMF wins the award for "figure most likely to fall apart if you look at it funny". Connected using a series of ball joints, I've had every singly possible limb come off the figure, though fortunately reassembly is relatively straight forward and the parts are quite solid. The VMF actually can stand up without its stand, which is something I can't really say for the Neuromancer.
While more mannequin in appearance in comparison to the Neuromancer, the VMF body itself does a decent job of portraying Kunsanagi, aided by a very good head sculpt, albeit with some dead eye stare issues. The gap between her thighs is very, very odd to look at, to say the least.
By default, Kusanagi is wearing her "leather" jacket, which effectively is a solid plastic shell. As a static piece it looks pretty good, but Lord forbid if you decide to actually pose her upper body in the jacket. Arm articulation is extremely limited while donning the jacket, and it's only after you "strip" her of her garment does her articulation truly shine, as it were. As much as I live to see the curves of my Waifus, it would be nice if she had the option of actually posing effectively with her garb on.
Paint work and detailing on the figure, surprisingly, hold up pretty well despite the 11 year gap between its release and now Not that there's much actual paint on the figure, but what is there is solid and honestly is no worse than what I'd expect to see on a good prize figure these days, meaning some flaws are pretty much gonna be there. As mentioned ,it really is the head sculpt and decal work there that sells this figure as being Motoko Kusanagi.
Because her hands cannot be swapped out, Kunsanagi is only capable of holding her weapon in her right hand, which is good and bad.. I suppose I'd do the right anyway, but an option to differentiate would have been nice. What IS annoying, however, is the fact that it appears you have to squeeze the weapon between her middle and ring fingers in order to actually have her hold the piece.
And there you have it.
I don't actually know why the aftermarket price for this figure is at levels to infinity and beyond.. of course, asking price is no indication of actual sold price, but I imagine it's only a matter of time of they're all at those prices.
For now, I can safely say that this figure is clearly a product of it's time and of Yamato quality, with some good aspects that made it into the products of today.
Anyone have a Figma they want to sell me?

The Yorkshire Air Museum & Allied Air Forces Memorial is an air museum in England on the site of the former RAF Elvington airfield. The museum was founded, and first opened to the public, in the early 1980s.
The Yorkshire Air Museum & Allied Air Forces Memorial is the largest independent air museum in Britain and is the most original Second World War RAF Bomber Command station open to the public. It is also the only Allied Air Forces Memorial in Europe. The museum has a good international reputation and profile with established branches in Canada and France and is supported by over 4,000 registered "friends" across the world. It is a Corporate Member of Friends of the Few (Battle of Britain Memorial) and the Royal Aeronautical Society.
The President of the Museum/Memorial is Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton and Vice Presidents include; the Chief of the Air Staff, Sir Andrew Pulford; Chief of the French Air Force, General Andre Lanata; Supreme Allied Commander NATO, General Denis Mercier; Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu; and TV Presenter, Jan Leeming.
The Museum's principal activity is in education and the history of flight, through which it is involved with aerospace manufacturers and organisations via its long term "Reach for the Sky" project which delivered the first KS2 History of Aviation educational resource book to all 26,000 primary schools in UK, supported by RAeS and the Ministry of Transport.

Social Reputation Management Conference organized by www.bdionline.com (cc) Shashi Bellamkonda www.shashi.name Social Media Swami Network Solutions Please feel free
Currently, we live and survive in two very different worlds: a real one and a virtual one and both can be equally important depending on the situation and angle in which events are viewed or experienced. One even may support or complement the other, as is the clear case of companies developing websites to support their off- line activities and selling efforts, in hopes of reaching broader markets, opening new ones and intensifying their commercial image in whole.
And image is what this is all about. Taking good care of your reputation online will guarantee your website's success. A powerful image will enhance link building efforts, will attract loyal customers and win you top positions on search engine results.
We give you here a list of facts that will assure you a pristine reputation online, or at least, get you out of the jerk list:
- Be honest about your weak points. Recognize the deficiencies in your products, services and team members. Maybe you are not responsible for solving these issues, but being sincere and open about them will take you a long way when in need of standing firm to defend the company or your work.
Never, ever, hide when confronted with unsatisfied clients, bloggers orpartners; instead, move one step forward and respond in an intelligent way; apologize if necessary and take any needed measures to ensure the issue is handled fast and without additional pain.
- Accept that everything leaks out. When talking about the internet, there are no secrets. Assume everything you write, say, comment, tape or even think will be posted online, so make sure you reveal clearly and comprehensively what can be communicated massively and this, basically, should be everything related to the business. If you do not have anything to hide, you do not have anything to fear.
- Project a professional appearance. Guarantee your website is the image of success in terms of design and content. Clients, investors, employees, journalists and partners will rate your professionalism based on your website. Think ahead and give them material to confirm your reputation; post every bit of information they could possibly request or desire and even what they will research by other means, like recommendations, reviews, videos and published news.
- Establish intelligent and enriching tools. There is nothing better to maximize your image online than to be open and share with your customers through a blog or forum. Join one or create one of your own, but make sure its tone is the right one. Whomever is in contact with your clients through this means should outweigh their responses carefully to maintain a professional image. A good idea is to designate a group of people to respond.
- Social networks can be a double- edged sword. You should be very attentive and choose the appropriate one to reach your market and share experiences with them. Center your choice in common points of interest and enriching influences. You can even create your company's social network and efficiently focus your communication efforts.
- Develop a respectful relationship with bloggers. They can significantly affect, positively or negatively, your reputation with their comments and opinions.
- Live up to Google. This search engine bases its results on high standards and everyone knows it and blindly trusts it, so make sure your content is worthy of appearing there.
- Confirm your reputation daily. It is easy through well- known websites and it ensures you react timely to any eventuality.
An integral company is open, honest and coherent. Its principles go hand in hand with its actions. Its main goal is client satisfaction with a passion to serve in the right way, sharing experiences and realities and maintaining a top level of quality and service. It talks the talk and walks the walk.

Whether its spring, summer, fall, or winter, Mother Nature tends to wreak havoc on trees and their branches. Sometimes after a large storm, the damage is apparent and visible. Branches and limbs are scattered all over the place and they need to be removed. Very often though, thrashing winds, rain, and the weight of snow can cause internal damage to trees. This is an enormous hazard. Falling branches can seriously injure and kill people. On top of that they’re could be potentially large liabilities involved for your business or personal property.

Sometimes removing a tree is not always necessary or even desired by our customers. Depending on the situation there are unique alternatives to preserving a tree. When a tree is permanently damaged and on the verge of collapse, we use cabling and bracing systems.

We’d be happy to take a look at your tree(s) and help out.

Chattanooga is a city located in Hamilton County, southeastern Tennessee, along the Tennessee River bordering Georgia. With an estimated population of 179,139 in 2017, it is the fourth-largest city in Tennessee and one of the two principal cities of East Tennessee, along with Knoxville. Served by multiple railroads and Interstate highways, Chattanooga is a transit hub. Chattanooga lies 118 miles (190 km) northwest of Atlanta, Georgia, 112 miles (180 km) southwest of Knoxville, Tennessee, 134 miles (216 km) southeast of Nashville, Tennessee, 102 miles (164 km) east-northeast of Huntsville, Alabama, and 147 miles (237 km) northeast of Birmingham, Alabama.
The city, with a downtown elevation of approximately 680 feet (210 m), lies at the transition between the ridge-and-valley portion of the Appalachian Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau. Surrounded by mountains and ridges, the official nickname for Chattanooga is "Scenic City", reinforced by the city's reputation for outdoor activities. Unofficial nicknames include "River City", "Chatt", "Nooga", "Chattown", and "Gig City", referencing Chattanooga's claims that it has the fastest internet service in the Western Hemisphere.
Chattanooga is internationally known for the 1941 song "Chattanooga Choo Choo" by Glenn Miller and his orchestra. Chattanooga is home to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and Chattanooga State Community College.
The city has its own typeface, Chatype, which was launched in August 2012. According to the Nooga.com website, this marks the first time that an American city has its own custom-made typeface and also the first time a crowd-funded custom-made typeface has been used for any municipality in the world.
