Tahuya è una comunità non incorporata nella contea di Mason, Washington, Stati Uniti; si trova sul canale Hood alla foce del fiume Tahuya, un sottile e profondo fiordo di acqua salata che scorre dallo Stretto di Juan de Fuca.

Tahuya, il cui nome deriva da un termine 𝑡𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑎 che significa quello fatto, presenta una serie di aree ricreative.

Il primo sabato di luglio segna l'annuale celebrazione del Tahuya Day, che include una parata, bancarelle e venditori di cibo e altre attrazioni. Secondo il sito web ufficiale del turismo della contea, la gente del posto riconosce ampiamente il Tahuya Day come una celebrazione del luogo bizzarro in cui i residenti vivono per scelta.

La nautica e la pesca dei molluschi sono popolari qui in primavera, estate e autunno. Il Rendsland Creek di Tahuya è designato dal Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife come una spiaggia per la pesca di molluschi potenziata, dove i visitatori possono raccogliere vongole sei mesi all'anno e ostriche di Hood Canal tutto l'anno.

Nelle vicinanze si trova la Tahuya State Forest, che comprende diversi campeggi e oltre 100 miglia di fuoristrada (ORV) e percorsi per mountain bike.

Il Rodney White Slough a Tahuya prende il nome da Rodney White, un pioniere nero che aveva una fattoria nella zona.

Twana è il nome collettivo di un gruppo di nove popoli Coast Salish nella regione settentrionale-centrale di Puget Sound. Gli Skokomish sono il principale gruppo sopravvissuto e oggi si identificano come Twana. La lingua parlata, chiamata anche Twana, fa parte del gruppo linguistico Central Coast Salish. La lingua Twana è strettamente correlata a Lushootseed.

I nove gruppi che componevano i Twana erano Dabop, Quilcene (gente di acqua salata), Dosewallips, Duckabush, Hoodsport, Skokomish (Skoko'bsh), Vance Creek, Tahuya e Duhlelap (Tule'lalap).  

Nel 1860 c'erano 33 insediamenti in totale, con gli Skokomish che costituivano la maggioranza della popolazione. La maggior parte dei discendenti di tutti i gruppi ora sono membri della Skokomish Tribal Nation e vivono nella riserva indiana Skokomish a Skokomish, Washington.

Working in a store that attracts both new money & old money is so fucking funny because you get to compare and contrast them all day long.

Older folk who are actually rich and have “big jobs” will politely excuse themselves when they get a phone call, they take the call outside and don’t come back inside until they are done, and afterwards they apologize for the interruption.

On the younger end of the wealthy spectrum, these young men NEED you to listen to their oh so important phone call. They ramble on & on at a volume like they want you to hear them. If you walk away they still end up getting near you and force you to hear them chew out their employees, complain about how they just lost a million dollars and inflate their egos by saying how they’re about to close a million dollar business deal.

No one fucking cares, and honestly as someone who grew up in the hood it’s fucking stupid? It’s like: hey everyone!! Listen to me talk about how much money I have, listen to me give out my address over the phone!!! Listen to me talk about which bank I use and where I’m going to be later!!!”

I’m not kidding, I probably could have stolen some identities with the information these morons shout out in public. It reminds me of the bling ring, the kardashians and XXXtentacion.. when you own nice things just stfu unless you want someone to rob you or potentially harm you.

"I walked into restaurants and they would point at me and say ‘The (N-word) can’t eat here.’ I would go to a hotel and they would say ‘The (N-word) can’t stay here.’ We want to Charlie Finley’s country club for a welcome home dinner, and they pointed me out with the N-word, ‘he can’t come in here.’ Finley marched the whole team out. Finally, they let me in. He had said ‘We’re gonna go to a diner and eat hamburgers; we’ll go where we’re wanted.'

“I slept on their couch (Rudi and his wife) four nights a week for about a month and a half,” Jackson said. “Finally, they were threatened that they’d burn the apartment complex down unless I got out. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.”

Jackson’s response to the one question lasted more than three minutes.

No one on the Fox set interrupted him.

No producer screamed into a headset trying to stop him.

“I really didn’t think it would get as much attention as it has gotten,’’ Jackson told USA TODAY Sports after the game, “but as much response as it generated, I didn’t get one negative response. Not one.

“I didn’t know Alex would ask me that question, but I’m glad they gave me a chance to respond.

“I’m glad people listened."

Reggie Jackson

Loud. And clear.

Really, the oddest reaction was from America itself.

Folks acted as if they were shocked this was happening 50 years ago and not centuries ago.

Wake up.

It was in the ’80s when Al Campanis, general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, uttered on national TV that Blacks lacked “the necessities" to be general managers or managers in the game.

It was in the early ’90s in Los Angeles when Rodney King was brutally beaten by police officers on the city streets and every officer was acquitted.

It was in the mid-’90s in Vero Beach, Florida, when an apartment complex refused to allow a reporter’s two black children to swim in its community swimming pool.

It was in the past five years that George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis, Breonna Taylor was shot and killed in her bedroom in Louisville, and Ahmaud Arbery was murdered jogging in Georgia.

So, really, we’re shocked that Jackson couldn’t eat in restaurants, sleep in hotels and hang in country clubs with his white teammates 57 years ago?

Welcome to America.

Racism still flourishes in this country, but the only difference, as Hank Aaron once told me, “the difference back then is that they had hoods. Now, they have neckties and starched shirts."

“In the South," Jackson said, “you knew they didn’t like you. You knew they didn't want you. They didn’t hide it."

Now, racism may not be as overt, but as Jackson reminded the country this week, don’t be naive to think it has gone away, or even greatly diminished.

Oh, and just in case you needed a reminder, there are only two Black managers in baseball, one Black general manager and there still has never been a majority Black owner. Jackson said Saturday he still is incensed the he was denied the opportunity to bid on the Oakland Athletics in 2005 when it was sold to John Fisher.

So, you really believe things have changed?

“I am glad,’’ Jackson said, “that I said what I did. It needed to be said."

And repeated over and over again.

The Ville de Paris, built at Rochefort, laid down in 1757 as Impétueux but renamed after Paris, the city that funded her construction. She was completed in 1764, a 90-gun first rate. She fought at the Battle of Ushant (1778) and sailed for the West Indies and Americas in 1781 and fought at the Battles of Fort Royal, the Chesapeake and St. Kitts. On 12 April 1782, at the Battle of the Saintes, she was captured by Admiral Hood on HMS Barfleur, under the command of Admiral Rodney. In September 1782 she was hit by a hurricane off Newfoundland on the voyage back to England and sank with the loss of all hands but one.

In May of 1941

In the dark predawn hours of May 19, 1941, the colossal Bismarck, a battleship of unrivaled might, slipped into the Baltic Sea, commencing her voyage. The German navy had not produced such a gargantuan vessel since the First World War. Its task was monumental, to disrupt the lifeline between the United States and Great Britain by severing the flow of supplies across the Atlantic. The German high command believed the Bismarck, deemed "unsinkable," would force Britain into capitulation.

By the fateful morning of May 24, the Royal Navy's HMS Hood, a revered symbol of British naval power, and the newly commissioned HMS Prince of Wales had engaged the Bismarck in the Denmark Strait. The confrontation was marked by the thunderous exchange of gunfire, culminating in a catastrophic blow to the Hood. A single shell from the Bismarck penetrated Hood's ammunition magazine, igniting an explosion that cleaved the ship in two, plunging it into the depths and snuffing out over 1,400 British lives in moments. It was the Royal Navy's gravest single-ship loss in history.

The British, incensed by the loss of the Hood and eager to avenge their brethren, unleashed a relentless pursuit of the Bismarck. With damage from the clash taking its toll on the German leviathan, Admiral Gunther Lutjens veered towards occupied France, seeking refuge. However, on May 26, the Bismarck's fate veered into dire straits as British Fairey Swordfish biplanes, in an astonishing display of aerial might, launched torpedoes that crippled its steering gear.

The subsequent British naval offensive was a calculated and overpowering response. On the morning of May 27, the King George V, HMS Rodney, and other vessels of the Royal Navy unleashed a torrent of fire upon the German titan. The Bismarck, a behemoth unable to navigate or flee, endured a relentless barrage. Ultimately, the HMS Dorsetshire's torpedoes delivered the final blows, sending the once-feared Bismarck to its watery grave at approximately 10:40 a.m.

In the late 1960s, Burt Young dashed off a letter to Lee Strasberg, who ran the Actors Studio in New York, hoping to be taken on as a student. “Seriously, Lee, I don’t know if acting has anything for me, or vice versa, but I’m treading water,” he wrote. “So see me.”

The letter was intended to curry favour with a woman whom Young was trying to impress, and whose dream it was to study with Strasberg. Both she and Young were invited to audition. She quit after drying up during her first acting class but Strasberg was impressed by the stubby, paunchy Young, telling him: “You have huge tension about you. I feel you’re an emotional library.”

Less than a decade later, Young, who has died aged 83, found fame playing Paulie Pennino, the gormless, rough-and-tumble butcher who is brother-in-law to the aspiring prizefighter Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) in the rags-to-riches hit Rocky (1976).

“I thought the script had the cleanest street prose I’d ever read,” said Young. Among the film’s 10 Oscar nominations was one for him as best supporting actor. It won three prizes, including best picture.

In Young’s hands, Paulie was roguishly endearing as well as exasperating. The actor described him as “all burly on the outside and all quicksand inside”. Paulie’s tenderness toward Rocky is forever being complicated by his jealousy at the boxer’s success. Any initial tension or piquancy in the drama, however, was diluted by a stream of sequels in which Stallone and Young reprised their roles. One low-point was Rocky IV (1985), which begins with Paulie receiving a robot butler as a gift from Rocky, whose success has made him profligate. Paulie modifies the robot to give it a female voice.

He is last seen in the sixth instalment, Rocky Balboa (2006), where he is once again the boxer’s corner-man. The character’s death is alluded to in the spin-off Creed (2015), in which Young does not appear.

Paulie was typical of many of the roles that came Young’s way: you could hear the hair growing in their ears, smell the stink on their singlets, feel their brain cells dying. In Back to School (1986), for instance, he played a tough-guy chauffeur described by the hero, played by the comic Rodney Dangerfield, as “an animal. In his family, he’s only the second generation to stand upright.”

For Young, it was never that simple. In Robert Aldrich’s vulgar cop comedy The Choirboys (1977), his turn as a cackling sergeant was singled out by the Washington Post as “human and appealing”. Cast as the flawed, the coarse or the criminal in films such as Sergio Leone’s gangster epic Once Upon a Time in America (1984) or Alan Alda’s whimsical Betsy’s Wedding (1989), he allowed a rumpled warmth to shine through the cracks, his actorly intelligence informing every choice.

Esteemed co-stars respected his craft. Jack Nicholson shared a scene with Young at the start of Roman Polanski’s neo-noir thriller Chinatown (1974), and was said to have greatly admired the actor and to have used him as the model for the laconic hood he played in Prizzi’s Honour (1985).

James Caan, with whom Young first worked on the shore-leave love story Cinderella Liberty (1973), wangled parts for him in The Gambler (1974), inspired by (though not adapted from) the Dostoevsky novella of the same name, and The Killer Elite (1975). The latter was the first of two films that Young made for the director Sam Peckinpah, the other being the action-comedy Convoy (1978).

“Everybody was scared of [Peckinpah],” said Young. “The studios were scared of him. The other actors. And so they would go through me, because I had no fear of nobody.”

It was Aldrich who became Young’s friend and loyal collaborator, directing him in The Choirboys, the nuclear-age thriller Twilight’s Last Gleaming (1977) and …All the Marbles (1981), a salty comedy about female wrestling released outside the US as The California Dolls.

A 1978 Esquire magazine profile dwelt on the actor’s history of juvenile delinquency and general criminality, noting that his life was “lifted right out of the pages of Damon Runyon”.

He was born in Queens, New York. His birth name has been listed variously as Gerald De Louise and Richard Morea, with Burt Young the name he adopted once he became an actor. His mother, Josephine, and father, Michael, an ice-delivery man and sheet metal worker who later trained as a teacher, tried to improve his chances by sending him to Bryant high school, an establishment in a better neighbourhood, but he was soon expelled. He attended St Anne’s academy, from which he was also ejected.

At 16, he joined the Marines, served tours of duty in Japan and the Philippines, and developed an aptitude for boxing. After a dishonourable discharge, he returned to New York and boxed professionally, training under the renowned Cus D’Amato and Charley Goldman. Fighting under three different aliases, he claimed to have amassed a record of 17 wins to one loss.

He became a truck driver, managed a silk-screen printing business that went bankrupt, part-owned a bakery and a bar, and worked for his brother’s Manhattan carpet-cleaning firm, before starting an outlet of his own in Queens. He later opened his own restaurant, Burt Young’s Il Boschetto, in the Bronx.

His first acting jobs included parts in the daytime soap The Doctors (1969) and the crime comedy The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight (1971). Over more than half a century, he accumulated around 160 movie and TV credits including The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984) with Mickey Rourke, a harrowing adaptation of Hubert Selby Jr’s Last Exit to Brooklyn (1989), the Hugh Grant comedy Mickey Blue Eyes (1999), which reunited him with Caan, and Transamerica (2005), in which he was the father of a trans woman played by Felicity Huffman.

He also wrote and starred in two films: the TV movie Daddy, I Don’t Like It Like This, about a boy whose father tries to toughen him up, and the sentimental Uncle Joe Shannon (both 1978), in which he played a bereaved trumpeter. In recent times, Young devoted much of his life to painting.

One of his most wrenching performances was in a 2001 episode of the HBO series The Sopranos. He played an ageing hoodlum, dying of cancer and grateful to be given one final hit to carry out. The assignment ends unforgettably in blood and bathos.

Crime was an area he felt he might have lapsed into were it not for the approval he received from Strasberg. “I come from that life,” he said. “To this day, two of my best friends are doing 100 years.”

But he was acting well into his dotage. “Rather than flying high, I’m wide,” he said in 2002. “I still have ambition, but I’m slow. I’ll never be Tom Cruise.”

Nor would anyone have wanted him to be: there was more character in one grin or grimace from Young than in a dozen vehicles featuring sleeker, shinier stars.

He is survived by Anne, his daughter, from his marriage to Gloria, who died in 1974.

HeatWave Hill, dirt texture of Iberon sc4 (found on mts I think)

The central circle has been named Lost Circle, and the lane off the left is Lost Lane and where my founders have started. I have ignored most of the restricted rules, I want to see if I can get them to max careers...

So, I'm using morbid's decade death roles. I have sort of used a wood themed esthetic, and an electricity free game (I forgot to put lights in the houses before donating all the money away-which they almost immediately got right back by marrying townies 😅

It was after I aged my first baby up that I realized my sims with jobs will have to hire a nanny...or ask a jobless friend to baby sit? I think I have the ask someone to babysit mod...

I'm sort of using this hood to test some things. I don't have the sun and moon stuff in, having my first test couple die from disease from the chickens turned me off (I have not retested with the fixed version of the sickness mod in yet...)

The first year was a series of arranged marriages and acr taking over the try for baby attempts (I was trying to let Icad's method testing) then when second round resulted in zero preggo I checked acr...still not sure how it works because it was reading 39% each day of the round...(four day round = 1 year)

Anyway...

Jesse Cooper's wife had twins, then failed to get repreggo. This is Miles Cooper...his twin sister was SIDS baby.

I am trying to test cats hunt roaches mod...but without making my sims sick...

I've never played with pets...so this was a new interaction to me...and I had to pause and cry "that poor cat!"

I have also recently added a mod that was a modification of educationizgud. I haven't seen criminal show up since...and athletic shows up twice in same newspaper/ computer...

She was trying to catch the last fish before the waters froze...

And Rodney's Death Creator allows toddlers to die of up to 9 things - when I did the satellite death with an adult I had to send them outside...it crashed through the roof on the poor toddler...

Oh, she won!

Huh. That's a lot of money...

That's all for now...

Vampire the Requiem: Inheritance

Chapter 1

Leaning with her back against the inside of the bar, Winona stared numbly into the TV mounted across the room in the corner above the exit of the Speakeasy. She'd turned the volume up to a harsh dinn, less to hear the sound of the game that was being played and more to drown out the snoring of the pub's only patron. His name was Rodney, a sad sack of a man, the Speakeasy's only aboveground regular.

This was about as busy as business ever got topside, but that was by design. Max went to great lengths to ensure that his own private slice of Newcastle was fixed securely in the periphery of the public eye. And yet somehow, with the precision of a migratory bird, Winona would open up shop every night to find Rodney waiting anxiously on the doorstep. She often wondered if the man had something special swimming around in his veins. He wasn't Kindred, obviously, but there were plenty of things that went bump in the night that could peer through Max's supernatural sleight of hand. Special or not, in a few hours, Winona would kick Rodney out the same way she did most every night at the crack of dawn. He wasn't hurting anyone save for himself, and Winona liked to think she was doing some small good by letting him sleep his spirits off on the bartop.

The bells above the door jingled and the smell of petrichor and ozone wafted into the bar. The tread of heavy boots slick with rainwater followed the gate of a hooded stranger bearing an oversized duffle slung over their shoulder. Winona's teeth ground together as something animalistic within her lunged at the chain of her composure, but she maintained her casual stance resting against the counter. She acknowledged the visitor silently, who in turn unloaded their cargo unceremoniously at the mouth of the Speakeasy.

"Delivery for Khonsu." The curier's words were articulate and licorice sweet, further unbalancing Winona's poise and expectations. A breath later they had vanished, disappearing between the present moment and the innocuous chiming of the bells against the closing door.

Winona's hand lashed instinctively for the phone hidden under the bartop, seizing the receiver, waiting for the emergency line to connect.

1992 (2024) Official Trailer - Tyrese Gibson, Ray Liotta, Scott Eastwood

A father named OG Merck (Tyrese Gibson) who just got out of prison 6 months ago has some interesting events happen during the 1992 riots in Los Angeles California after the acquittal of three police officers who beat Rodney King. During the riot, some thieves are doing a heist of 900 lb of platinum at the plant the OG Merck is working with his son.

I would say that this movie is an action movie taking place in the hood. I would classify OG Merck as a hood hero who has some real-life values of honor.

When did Italian people start liking black people? Why would a black man do a heist with an Italian white man? Why would a black man willingly sign up to do a job or heist with crazy Italian folk?

This movie shows some historical views on what was actually happening at the time.

Overall, I did like this movie. I would give it a strong seven. I would not recommend it for children under 17 because of some of the bloody action in it.
