Sears was so hot for the Neptune it agreed to carry Maytag appliances in the U.S. and Canada for the first time.
Film-making in the area began in 1914 when the Neptune studio opened.
Aposiopesis refers to a breaking-off of speech, and in Book I of "The Aeneid" the god Neptune does just that while chastising the East and West winds for making a storm without his permission.

The existence of Neptune was deduced from minute deviations between the predicted and observed orbits of Uranus.
To cap that, having looked at Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 2's controllers decided to extend the mission by taking pictures of Uranus and Neptune as the craft continued on its journey out of the solar system.
If the plans are approved, Neptune hopes to be on the site as early as this summer.
Almost two-thirds of the stars likely host a planet measuring about five times Earth's mass, and half of them harbor a planet about the mass of Neptune.
Regardless of their views on how best to classify Pluto, astronomers are united in their desire to find out more about it and the other bodies in the region beyond Neptune.
In 1989, after a 12-year, 4-billion-mile space journey, Voyager 2 flew over the cloudtops of the giant planet Neptune and its moon Triton, sending back photographs of swampy areas, frozen lakes and craters.
Some galaxies contain black holes with billions of times the mass of the sun, occupying a volume no bigger across than the orbit of Neptune around our solar system but extending their influence through a cosmic bubble 30 million light years across.
Yet despite its being nearer the sun, the weather on Uranus seems less violent than that on Neptune, with the clouds being swept around at a mere 500 kph.
This would make sense if short-period comets started off in the Kuiper belt and were nudged into closer orbits around the sun by the gravity of the most distant of the giant planets, Neptune.
The same team of astronomers who discovered it had earlier found another planet, this time a gaseous giant similar to Neptune, orbiting the same star every 5.4 days.
But most of the history of the solar system--this is why the comet is so important--most of the history of this comet was spent out beyond Neptune, out where Pluto is at the very edge of the solar system, what we call the Kuiper belt.
Eventually, assuming the probes continued to function, they would pass and study Uranus and Neptune, and then depart the solar system.
On March 3rd, the marines began to patrol in the capital, and Mr Neptune declared a state of emergency.
While observations of the weather on Uranus and Neptune are still in their infancy, Jupiter's clouds are more familiar.
But they cannot re-establish order unaided, the prime minister, Yvon Neptune, has admitted.
Uranus, the next planet in from Neptune, is almost as mysterious, but for a different reason: its almost featureless green surface provides few clues to the goings-on in its atmosphere.
Grand National third Snowy Morning is also likely to take his chance in Saturday's feature, having finished second to Neptune Collonges in the Guinness Gold Cup at Punchestown on his latest outing.
The new observatory will "support longer-term, science-based understanding of the dramatic changes taking place in Arctic waters, " said Kim Juniper, with NEPTUNE Canada, in a statement from the University of Victoria.
In a lot of ways, the weather of the four giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) should be easier to understand than that of the earth, because there are no oceans and continents to complicate matters.
On questions relating to Israel and the Palestinians, Democrats are on Neptune and Republicans are on Pluto.
And the stats don't help Neptune Collonges much either, as horses that are beaten in Gold Cups rarely win it subsequently.

The "new" Solar System agreed at the IAU's General Assembly has eight planets - Mercury to Neptune - and at least three dwarf planets: Pluto, Eris and the largest asteroid in the Solar System, Ceres.

It's possible that the smaller giant planets - Uranus and Neptune, these guys are usually called ice giants rather than gas giants - they may have had some violence in their history.
Professor Roxburgh told BBC News there appeared to be another planet orbiting the same "sun" - a Neptune-sized gas giant.
"We just tumbled on top of each other, " Ellen Foran of Neptune City, New Jersey told the AP news agency.

They are named super-Earths because they are more massive than the Earth but less massive than Uranus and Neptune (which are about 15 Earth masses).
Its elliptical orbit actually crosses Neptune's path, yet the timing of the two planets' respective motions ensures that, like figures in a clockwork model, they never collide.
