Vacuum Filters
Who does not love a clean house free from grime and dust? Vacuum cleaner filters are the essential parts of the vacuum cleaner that keep the dirt sucked up by the cleaner in the machine. It helps kill the germs and contaminants that are trapped within. They are positioned such that they can trap the dust mites and pollutants before it reaches the motor and the exhaust. There are various kinds of filters available including the ultra fine air filter and some vacuum cleaning systems even use water as a filter. Water filtration helps trap wet dust that is not airborne. Having a fully functional vacuum filter is critical to maintain the suction and dirt handling ability of the vacuum cleaner. You are not just saving yourself from the harmful effects of these dust particles but also saving the critical parts of the vacuum cleaning system from failure. We recommend you change vacuum filters regularly, once in six months atleast.
Want to find a filter for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we have a full range of filters including motor filters and HEPA filters. The vacuum cleaner is a formidable cleaning tool today and the combination of its cleaning capacity and ease of use are major factors that influence the buying decision. We seek to provide all the information about vacuum cleaning systems and various replacement parts including vacuum filters which you can use to extend the life of your vacuum cleaner for several years.

Home Office Cabinets
A cabinet can fulfill many functions in a home office while providing you with a beautiful piece of furniture to enhance your working environment. Use a computer armoire or server table to display your functional office equipment. Are you in need of a filing cabinet but don't like the idea of a piece of square metal in your office? Think about purchasing a small cabinet to house papers, books, and other office items instead.
Bedroom Cabinets
Supplement some of the elements in your bedroom with a beautiful floor cabinet. You can enhance the look of your bedroom while adding some practical storage space. A larger cabinet can house sweaters and dress shirts, while a smaller cabinet can maintain socks, jewelry, and other personal items. Like the computer, perhaps you would like to keep your television out of view when it is not in use. A television armoire can be the perfect solution.
Living Room Cabinets
Implementing a wall cabinet in the most used room in the house can help you surround yourself with favorite pictures, books, art pieces, and more all with an attractive piece of furniture. A floor cabinet can also house your library of DVDs and do it in style.
Bathroom Cabinets
A floor cabinet can act as a house for toiletries, makeup, hair accessories, and more. Choosing an ornate wood cabinet is one way to achieve a fashionable status in your bathroom.
Children's Room Cabinets
Do your children have their own collection of books, DVDs, or entertainment items? Do they have a massive amount of toys with nowhere to place them except on the floor? With the addition of a beautiful floor cabinet, many problems can be solved.
Dining Room Cabinets
Do you have plates, crystal or cutlery you would like to display? Maybe you need something ornate to supplement your dining room table. With a wall cabinet, china cabinet, server or curio, you can display and store many types of utensils and decorations.

This is the fourth of a multi-part series that examines economic development efforts on the Olympic Peninsula.
What comes first, the chicken or the egg? That's a question often involved in discussions about economic development.
Do you till the soil and plant the seeds for future economic development or do you wait for people to arrive and for businesses to come on their own?
One thing is for sure: According to experts such as Clallam Economic Development Council (EDC) Executive Director Linda Rotmark, services, schools, safety and health care are huge drawing cards in recruiting new business.
A conversation about OMC
A good example is our local Olympic Medical Center (OMC), Clallam County Public Hospital District No. 2. OMC has served the community since its establishment in the 1950s, and is governed by a seven-member, publicly elected board. Providing inpatient services at its 80-bed acute-care facility in Port Angeles — including a Level 3 trauma center (Harborview Medical Center in Seattle is the region's only Level 1 trauma center), surgical services and labor and delivery — OMC is part of the economic development recruiting effort.
In a recent conversation with OMC Chief Executive Officer Eric Lewis, he discussed how OMC fits into the jigsaw puzzle of economic development.
Serving as the CEO since 2006, Lewis previously served as the chief financial officer at OMC for more than eight years. Lewis' previous experience includes serving as vice president/controller at Stevens Hospital in Edmonds for more than seven years and, prior to that, five years in public accounting. He graduated from the University of Washington in 1985 with a bachelor's degree in business administration. He is a certified public accountant.
On land first designated by President Abraham Lincoln for a future hospital, Olympic Memorial Hospital was established on Nov. 1, 1951.
Olympic Medical Center is the largest employer in Clallam County with more than 1,000 employees. Roughly 100 of those are employed at the Sequim medical campus.
Sequim is home to outpatient medical services including cardiac, imaging, physical therapy and rehabilitation, laboratory, sleep medicine, physician clinics and a state of the art cancer care center. In June, a new orthopedic clinic will open its doors in the former Sequim Medical Plaza. That clinic will be staffed by orthopedic surgeons Loren Larson and Keith Ure, along with two physician assistants.
Additional expansion in Sequim by OMC will involve the completion of more than 4,500 square feet of new physician space that will expand specialty and cardiology services. With this expansion will come a new urologist, Dr. Steve Jenkins.
With around 100 employees at the OMC facilities in Sequim now, the number is not expected to grow much beyond 110. "Improving what we do and becoming more efficient," is the mantra of Lewis. Growing with the community is how Lewis sees OMC growing.
Lewis does acknowledge that the Olympic Medical Cancer Center is a unique world-class center that the board of commissioners committed to more than a decade ago as a goal. He is quick to describe this facility as the best rural cancer center in Washington, something he is very proud of.
Having these robust health care facilities locally is important in business. Lewis says that folks won't move here without schools, hospitals and protection. So in that regard health care encourages movement here, says Lewis. That movement includes both retirees as well as businesses that may be looking for new sites to expand.
Any successes in local economic development?
Rotmark says there have been many successes in local economic development since the EDC was created in 1982.
Westport shipyard continues to be a significant employer. In 2003, the Port of Port Angeles secured an agreement with the ship builder, a company that now builds its flagship product — the 164-foot tri-deck cruising yacht — in Port Angeles.
Angeles Composite Technologies Inc. is a supplier of advanced structural composite assemblies and components serving the global commercial and military aerospace markets. Founded in 1996, ACTI's state-of-the-art facility on port property encompasses more than 75,000 square feet of manufacturing space.
The PenPly mill in Port Angeles is an example of a success story. In September 2010, this 100,000-square-foot cedar plywood mill added 150 new jobs with benefits and $6 million investment in plant and equipment. The Clallam EDC played a key role in seeking funding that made this a success story.
The gaming industry has grown to become a significant employer that results in additional dollars coming back into the local communities. Future development will see conventions and resort accommodations being built in the next half decade.
Rotmark said that four years ago Bill Elliott, former Sequim city manager, told her the EDC could help the city by going to the Marine Sciences Laboratory to support its expansion efforts. She didn't know about the Marine Sciences Laboratory then, but she visited; they told her they needed city services and asked for the help of the EDC. Currently the City of Sequim funds the EDC with $5,000 a year.
Between the success of big box stores to identify Sequim as the economic epicenter of Clallam County, the burgeoning numbers of workers reaching retirement age in the next few years and the projected expansion of the Marine Sciences Laboratory research campus on the banks of Sequim Bay, the economic future for the Sequim area looks much more healthy than the majority of similar-sized communities across the state.
Sequim City Manager Steve Burkett has said there are a lot of discussions going on with the EDC, Marine Sciences Laboratory, City of Port Angeles, the port, the college and others about what strategies can be used to move forward renewable energy.

The 2013 programme has joined the list of past concerts.
All concerts begin at 8pm. Wine and fruit juice after each concert.
Tickets £12, Season tickets £50, Children free,
are sold through Bridgewood and Neitzert and on the door.
Begun on a shoestring in 1995, the Stoke Newington Early Music Festival has grown and flourished through the years. Generously supported by local businesses — but always independent of public funding — it is now an indispensable feature of the Stoke Newington summer, enjoyed by local residents and by lovers of early music from everywhere.
For this year only, the festival will move from St Mary's Old Church to the Victorian church with the tall spire on the opposite side of Stoke Newington Church Street.
The venue changes temporarily while the Old Church is repaired, but the tradition of imaginative programmes performed by world-class musicians continues.
And the honourable custom of the audience and musicians drinking wine together after each concert continues as well.
Long established, perfectly formed - an early music festival of charm and the highest standards.

"A tongue-tantalizing poultry dish that gives chicken the new life you've been looking for!"

4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (16 ounce) can whole cranberry sauce
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
This was a fun recipe to try. I used chicken breast tenders, and added some chicken broth to the sauce (I stirred the cranberries and pineapple together instead of layering) and put it in the oven and then had to rush out of the house. OOPS! Well, that was ok. It was awesome! The sauce got thick and sticky. I loved it. The chicken was so tender and juicy. We won't have it every week, because it is a very memorable flavor. I will save it for special occasions.
This dish was OK but something was missing. It is kind of bland and needs something to round out it's flavor.

I seared the chicken breasts too so they wouldn't look so anemic. I don't know if you really need 4 POUNDS of chicken, I used about 2 pounds. Very good, a little overcooked at 45 minutes -- will reduce to 30 minutes next time. Served over jasmine rice with a side of green beans. Whole family loved it. Very easy to prepare on a working day.
This sounds very much like a recipe I had years ago that called for sausages and could be served in a chafing dish. It was always a great success. I now plan to serve this(thanks for the memory kicker)along with other buffet items at our "Let's celebrate Christmas" we're hosting on Nov 30/03 using chunks in place of whole breasts and will pick up the suggestion of one of your contributors to lightly brown the chicken breasts first. Can't be too careful about chicken that is not fully cooked. Happy Thanksgiving America from a Canadian friend.
This recipe was great, but next time I make it I think I will sear the chicken in a pan before baking it. Tasted great and it was healthy!!
This is a very easy dish. My children loved the fruity flavor, and it tasted nice with buttery basmati rice as a side dish. Next time, I will add a bit of chicken broth to warm up the sauce a bit.
The whole family loved this dish, and it was economical, fast, and simple to make. It would be good around the holidays also. This dish would be suitable for company. I served it with mashed potatoes and italian green beens.
I tried this last night on a whim and loved it! It's incredibly easy and fast to prepare. I served it with Brussels sprouts and wheat rice pilaf, both complimented the chicken nicely. I think the next time I make it I might add some chopped red onion just for an added kick. Oh, and it passed the boyfriend test with flying colors!

Bar Pilar: Stop stealing our copper mugs
Friday - 2/8/2013, 3:53pm  ET
WASHINGTON - To the sticky-fingered patrons who just can't keep their paws of Bar Pilar's copper mugs, the restaurant has a message for you: Please stop.
Bar manager Jonathan Fain told Washington City Paper that almost all of the 100 mugs used to make Moscow Mules have been pilfered by customers. Only five remain.
"If it looks good, people take them," he told the weekly.
Because of the rampant thievery, Fain says he has considered bringing in the police to the Northwest D.C. eatery. The only trouble with that is taking 45 minutes away from his daily duties as a manager.
So, he has come up with another idea: Charge customers a refundable $25 deposit if they want to sip their Moscow Mule out of the special cup.

George Raymond Richard Martin[1] (born September 20, 1948), sometimes referred to as GRRM,[2] is an American novelist and short story writer in the fantasy, horror, and science fiction genres, as well as a screenwriter and television producer. He is best known for A Song of Ice and Fire, his international bestselling series of epic fantasy novels that HBO adapted for its dramatic series Game of Thrones. Martin serves as the series' co-executive producer, while also scripting one of each season's 10 episodes. Martin was selected by Time magazine as one of the "2011 Time 100", a list of the "most influential people in the world".[3][4]
Early life[edit]
George Raymond Martin (he later adopted the Confirmation name Richard at the age of 13)[5] was born on September 20, 1948,[6] in Bayonne, New Jersey,[7] the son of longshoreman Raymond Collins Martin and his wife Margaret Brady Martin. He has two younger sisters, Darleen and Janet. The family's heritage is Irish.[8] They lived in a federal housing project near the Bayonne docks.
The young Martin began writing and selling monster stories for pennies to other neighborhood children, dramatic readings included. He also wrote stories about a mythical kingdom populated by his pet turtles; the turtles died frequently in their toy castle, so he finally decided they were killing each other off in "sinister plots".[9] Martin attended Mary Jane Donohoe School and then later Marist High School. While there he became an avid comic-book fan, developing a strong interest in the innovative superheroes being published by Marvel Comics.[10] A letter Martin wrote to the editor of Fantastic Four was printed in issue No. 20 (Nov 1963); it was the first of many sent, e.g., FF #32, #34, and others from his family's home at 35 E. First Street, Bayonne, NJ. Fans who read his letters then wrote him letters in turn, and through such contacts, Martin joined the fledgling comics fandom of the era, writing fiction for various fanzines.[11] In 1965 Martin won comic fandom's Alley Award for his prose superhero story "Powerman vs. The Blue Barrier," the first of many awards he would go on to win for his fiction.
In 1970 Martin earned a B. S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, graduating summa cum laude; he went on to complete his M. S. in Journalism in 1971, also from Northwestern. Eligible for the draft during the Vietnam War, to which he objected, Martin applied for and obtained conscientious-objector status;[12] he instead did alternative service work for two years (1972–1974) as a VISTA volunteer, attached to the Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation. He also directed chess tournaments for the Continental Chess Association from 1973 to 1976. Then from 1976 to 1978 he was an English and journalism instructor at Clarke University (then Clarke College) in Dubuque, IA, becoming Writer In Residence at the college from 1978 to 1979.
Martin began selling science fiction short stories professionally in 1970, at age 21. His first sale was "The Hero", sold to Galaxy magazine and published in its February 1971 issue; other sales soon followed. His first story to be nominated for the Hugo Award[13] and Nebula Awards was With Morning Comes Mistfall, published in 1973 in Analog magazine. A member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), Martin became the organization's Southwest Regional Director from 1977 to 1979; from 1996 to 1998, he served as its vice-president.
In 1976, for Kansas City's MidAmeriCon, the 34th World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon), Martin and his friend and fellow writer-editor Gardner Dozois conceived of and organized the first Hugo Losers' Party for the benefit of all past and present Hugo-losing writers, their friends and families, the evening following the convention's Hugo Awards ceremony. Martin was nominated for two Hugos that year but lost both awards, for the novelette "...and Seven Times Never Kill Man" and the novella The Storms of Windhaven, co-written with Lisa Tuttle.[14] The Hugo Losers' Party became an annual Worldcon event thereafter, its formal title eventually changing to something a bit more politically correct as both its size and prestige grew.
Although Martin often writes fantasy or horror, a number of his earlier works are science fiction tales occurring in a loosely defined future history, known informally as "The Thousand Worlds" or "The Manrealm". He has also written at least one piece of political-military fiction, "Night of the Vampyres", collected in Harry Turtledove's anthology The Best Military Science Fiction of the 20th Century.[15]
The unexpected commercial failure of Martin's fourth book, The Armageddon Rag (1983), "essentially destroyed my career as a novelist at the time", he recalled. However, that failure led him to seek a career in television [9] after a Hollywood option on that novel led to him being hired, first as a staff writer and then as an Executive Story Consultant, for the revival of the Twilight Zone. After the CBS series was canceled, Martin migrated over to the already underway satirical science fiction series Max Headroom. He worked on scripts and created the show's "Ped Xing" character (the president of the Zic Zak corporation, Network 23's primary sponsor). Before his scripts could go into production, however, the ABC show was canceled in the middle of its second season. Martin was then hired as a writer-producer on the new dramatic fantasy series Beauty and the Beast; in 1989 he became the show's co-supervising producer, while also writing 14 of its episodes.[16]
During this same period, he continued working in print media as a book-series editor, this time overseeing the development of the multi-author Wild Cards book series, which takes place in a shared universe in which a small slice of post–World War II humanity gains superpowers after the release of an alien-engineered virus; new titles are still being published in the on-going series from Tor Books. In Second Person Martin "gives a personal account of the close-knit role-playing game (RPG) culture that gave rise to his Wild Cards shared-world anthologies".[17] An important element in the creation of the multiple author series was a campaign of Chaosium's 1983 role-playing game Superworld that Martin ran in Albuquerque.[18] Martin's own contributions to Wild Cards have included Thomas Tudbury, "The Great and Powerful Turtle", a powerful psychokinetic whose flying "shell" consisted of an armored VW Beetle. As of June 2011, 21 Wild Cards volumes had been published in the series; earlier that same year, Martin signed the contract for the 22nd volume, Low Ball, which has since been completed and will be published by Tor Books in mid-summer of 2014. In early 2012 Martin signed another Tor contract for the 23rd Wild Cards volume, High Stakes.
While he was earning good money in Hollywood, he was not satisfied since so few of the projects he worked on ever went into production; "No amount of money can really take the place of... you want your stuff to be read. You want an audience and four guys in an executive office suite at ABC or Columbia is not adequate."[19]
Martin's novella, Nightflyers, was adapted into a 1987 feature film of the same title; he was not happy about having to cut plot elements for the screenplay's scenario in order to accommodate the film's small budget.[20]
A Song of Ice and Fire[edit]
In 1991 Martin briefly returned to writing novels and began what would eventually turn into his epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, which was inspired by the Wars of the Roses and Ivanhoe. It is currently intended to comprise seven volumes. The first, A Game of Thrones, was published in 1996. In November 2005, A Feast for Crows, the fourth novel in this series, became The New York Times No. 1 Bestseller and also achieved No. 1 ranking on The Wall Street Journal bestseller list. In addition, in September 2006, A Feast for Crows was nominated for both a Quill Award and the British Fantasy Award.[21] The fifth book, A Dance with Dragons, was published July 12, 2011, and quickly became an international bestseller, including achieving a No. 1 spot on the New York Times Bestseller List and many others; it remained on the New York Times list for 88 weeks and still continues to sell well. The series has received praise from authors, readers, and critics alike. In 2012, A Dance With Dragons made the final ballot for science fiction and fantasy's Hugo Award, World Fantasy Award, Locus Poll Award, and the British Fantasy Award; the novel went on to win the Locus Poll Award for Best Fantasy Novel. Two more novels are planned and still being written in the Ice and Fire series: The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring.
HBO series production[edit]
During completion of A Dance With Dragons and other projects, George R. R. Martin was also heavily involved in the production of the television series adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire books, called A Game of Thrones. Martin's involvement included the selection of a production team and participation in scriptwriting; the opening credits list him as a co-executive producer of the series.
HBO Productions purchased the television rights for the entire A Song of Ice and Fire series in 2007 and began airing the fantasy series (titled "Game of Thrones") on their U. S. premium cable channel April 17, 2011; it ran weekly for ten episodes, each approximately an hour long.[22] The series was renewed shortly after the first episode aired. The first season was nominated for 13 Emmy Awards, ultimately winning two, one for its opening title credits and one for Peter Dinklage as Best Supporting Actor. The second season of ten episodes, based on the second Ice and Fire novel A Clash of Kings, began airing on HBO in the U.S. April 1, 2012; the second season was nominated for 12 Emmy Awards, including another Supporting Actor nomination for Dinklage. It went on to win six of those Emmys in the Technical Arts categories, which were awarded the week before the regular televised 2012 awards show. The first season of 10 episodes was also nominated for a 2012 Hugo Award, fantasy and science fiction's oldest award, presented by the World Science Fiction Society each year at the annual Worldcon; the show went on to win the 2012 Hugo for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form, at Chicon 7, the 70th World Science Fiction Convention, in Chicago, IL; Martin took home one of the three Hugo Award trophies given in that collaborative category, the other two going to Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. The second season episode "Blackwater," written by George R.R. Martin, was nominated the following year for the 2013 Hugo Award in the Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form category; that episode went on to win the Hugo Award at LoneStarCon 3, the 71st World Science Fiction Convention, in San Antonio, Texas.
Martin's work has been described by the Los Angeles Times as having "complex story lines, fascinating characters, great dialogue, perfect pacing".[23] While the New York Times sees it as "fantasy for grown ups",[24] others feel it is dark and cynical.[25] His first novel, Dying of the Light, set the tone for some of his future work; it unfolds on a mostly abandoned planet that is slowly becoming uninhabitable as it moves away from its sun. This story has a strong sense of melancholy. His characters are often unhappy or, at least, unsatisfied, in many cases holding on to idealisms in spite of an otherwise chaotic and ruthless world, in many cases troubled by their own self-seeking or violent actions, even as they undertake them. Many have elements of tragic heroes in them; reviewer T. M. Wagner writes, "Let it never be said Martin doesn't share Shakespeare's fondness for the senselessly tragic."[26]
The overall gloominess of A Song of Ice and Fire can be an obstacle for some readers; the Inchoatus Group writes, "If this absence of joy is going to trouble you, or you're looking for something more affirming, then you should probably seek elsewhere."[27] For many fans, however, it is precisely this level of "realness" and "completeness," including characters' imperfections and moral/ethical ambiguity and tragic plot twists, that is endearing about Martin's work and keeps the story arc compelling enough to keep following despite its sheer brutality; as TM Wagner points out, "There's great tragedy here, but there's also excitement, humor, heroism even in weaklings, nobility even in villains, and, now and then, a taste of justice after all. It's a rare gift when a writer can invest his story with that much humanity."[28]
Martin's characters are multifaceted, each with surprisingly intricate pasts, aspirations, and ambitions. Publishers Weekly writes of his ongoing epic fantasy A Song of Ice and Fire, "The complexity of characters such as Daenerys, Arya and the Kingslayer will keep readers turning even the vast number of pages contained in this volume, for the author, like Tolkien or Jordan, makes us care about their fates."[29] No one is given an unrealistic string of luck, however, so misfortune, injury, and death (including false death and reanimation) can befall any character, major or minor, no matter how attached the reader has become. Martin has described his penchant for killing off important characters as being necessary for the story's depth: "when my characters are in danger, I want you to be afraid to turn the page, (so) you need to show right from the beginning that you're playing for keeps".[30]
In distinguishing his work from others, Martin makes a point of emphasizing realism and plausible social dynamics above an over reliance on magic and a simplistic "good vs evil" dichotomy, which contemporary fantasy writing is often criticized for. Notably, Martin's work makes a sharp departure from the prevalent "heroic knights and chivalry" schema that has become a mainstay in fantasy as derived from the Lord of the Rings series of J.R.R. Tolkien, which Martin himself admires and from which he finds inspiration.[31] However, he specifically critiques the oversimplification of Tolkien's themes and devices by imitators in ways that he has humorously described as "Disneyland Middle Ages"[32] that gloss over or even ignore major differences between medieval and modern societies, particularly social structures, ways of living, and political arrangements. (Martin is at times considered "the American Tolkien" by literary critics.[33]) The author makes a point of grounding his work on a foundation of historical fiction, which he channels to evoke important social and political elements of the medieval era that differ markedly from elements of modern times, including the multigenerational, rigid, and often brutally consequential nature of the hierarchical class system of feudal societies[34] that is in many cases overlooked in fantasy writing. Even as A Song of Ice and Fire is a fantasy series that employs magic and the surreal as central to the genre, Martin is keen to ensure that magic is merely one element of many that moves his work forward,[35] not a generic deus ex machina that is itself the focus of his stories. Martin's ultimate aim is an exploration of the internal conflicts that define the human condition, which, in deriving inspiration from William Faulkner,[36] he ultimately describes as the only reason to read any literature, regardless of genre.[37]
Major themes in Martin's main series are multifaceted and multilayered, encompassing the long and winding journey that the characters experience, much as Martin envisions for himself and his readers;[38] these include idealism versus duty, romantic love versus primacy of family, the extent to which individuals may go in order to protect family (or enhance themselves within the family), the conflicts that arise from different levels of societal obligation, why people are driven to "evil," the nature of redemption, realpolitik versus "doing the right thing," the ethics of political actions and their consequences, the brutality of war, the ways in which members of differing social classes successfully (or unsuccessfully) navigate an ancient/feudal class structure, and the meaning of religion and belief among many competing alternatives. Major themes and areas of exploration in his short fiction include loneliness, connection, tragically doomed love, idealism, romanticism, and hard truth versus comforting deceit. Many of these occur in his magnum opus as well, but most of them are more abundant and obvious in his shorter works.
Relationship with fans[edit]
Martin is known for his regular attendance through the decades at science fiction conventions and comics conventions and his accessibility to fans. In the early 1980s, critic and writer Thomas Disch identified Martin as a member of the "Labor Day Group", writers who regularly congregated at the annual Worldcon,[39] usually held on or around the Labor Day weekend. Since the early 1970s he has also attended regional science fiction conventions, and since 1986 Martin has participated annually in Albuquerque's smaller regional convention Bubonicon, near his New Mexico home.[40]
Martin's official fan club is the "Brotherhood Without Banners," who have a regular posting board at the Forum of the website westeros.org, which is focused on his Song of Ice and Fire fantasy series. At the annual World Science Fiction Convention every year, the BWB hosts a large, on-going hospitality suite that is open to all members of the Worldcon;[41] their suite frequently wins by popular vote the convention's best party award.[citation needed]
Martin has been criticized by some of his readers for the long periods between books in the Ice and Fire series, notably the six-year gap between the fourth volume, A Feast for Crows (2005), and the fifth volume, A Dance with Dragons (2011).[42][43] The previous year, in 2010, Martin had responded to fan criticisms by saying he was unwilling to write only his Ice and Fire series, noting that working on other prose and compiling and editing different book projects has always been part of his working process.[44] The band Dinosaur Feathers published their song "Please, Please George" on June 23, 2011, discussing their desire and impatience for the publication of his next novel.[45] By that time, however, Martin had already announced, in spring of 2011, that Dragons was finished; the novel was published on July 12, 2011, three weeks after the appearance of Dinosaur Feathers' song.
Martin is strongly opposed to fan fiction, believing it to be copyright infringement and a bad exercise for aspiring writers.[46][47]
Personal life[edit]
In the early 1970s Martin was in a relationship with fellow science-fiction/fantasy author Lisa Tuttle,[48] with whom he co-wrote Windhaven.
While attending an east coast science fiction convention he met his first wife, Gale Burnick; they were married in 1975, but the marriage ended in divorce, without children, in 1979.
On February 15, 2011, Martin married his longtime paramour Parris McBride during a small ceremony at their Santa Fe, New Mexico, home; the couple exchanged Celtic-inspired wedding rings custom-made for them by local artisans. Area friends were in attendance and helped them celebrate the occasion.[49] On August 19, 2011, they held a larger wedding ceremony and reception at Renovation, the 69th World Science Fiction Convention, in Reno, Nevada for their larger circle of friends within the fantasy and science fiction fields.[50]
He and his wife Parris are supporters of the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary in New Mexico.[51] Martin has noted his admiration for wolves not only in his books but also through fundraising.[52][53] Since 1979 Martin has made Santa Fe, New Mexico his home. In early 2013 he purchased Santa Fe's Jean Cocteau Cinema and Coffee House, which had been closed since 2006. He had the property completely restored, rebuilding its concession area, enlarging its screen, and adding digital projection to the landmark cinema's 35mm capability. The Cocteau officially re-opened for business with great fanfare on Friday, August 9, 2013 as both a general and special events theater and a coffee house with rotating art and photo exhibits.[54][55]
Martin maintains a LiveJournal account called "Not A Blog" where he posts about his works and various unrelated topics such as politics and the NFL: he is a lifelong supporter of the Democratic Party and claimed Jimmy Carter, during an interview with Authors@Google, to be "clearly the best human being to be president during my lifetime." He has recently expressed admiration for Barack Obama and strongly condemned attempts at voter suppression, likening it to the behavior of Democrats of the Solid South and citing the pro-voting rights Republicans of his youth as a far better role model for the conservative movement, citing youthful admiration for specifically Everett Dirksen, Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., Clifford Case, William Scranton and Barry Goldwater.[56] Martin is an avid, lifelong fan of both the New York Jets and New York Giants. His LJ "Not a Blog" posts have been reposted at times by someone else to a George R. R. Martin Facebook page, but Martin has never been a member of that online community or a reader of its posts; he also does not use Twitter.
Martin spends his spare time reading voraciously on a variety of topics, collecting medieval-themed miniatures and dioramas, watching professional football on television (in season), reading and collecting science fiction, fantasy, and horror books, and treasuring his large comics collection, which includes the first issues of Marvel's "silver age" Spider-Man and Fantastic Four.
In response to a question on his religious views, Martin replied, "I suppose I'm a lapsed Catholic. You would consider me an atheist or agnostic. I find religion and spirituality fascinating. I would like to believe this isn't the end and there's something more, but I can't convince the rational part of me that makes any sense whatsoever. That's what Tolkien left out — there's no priesthood, there's no temples; nobody is worshiping anything in the Rings."[57]

" Success is never final, but failure can be " B.P.
Very, very close to what Beatty got.
Everyone has been alluding to the fact that he has started to break down physically, but I'm not really sure what his physical issues are.
His play has dropped off the last 2 seasons. The contract is managable though
Rams are back!!
Troy Niklas is a Monster!... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0A7jHG92r4
He has been relatively healthy, except for last season when he went down with a torn tricep?
If he is healthy and gets back to his form from a couple years back, very good move by the Rams. Now they can move Saffold back to the RT position. Sam Bradford is probably a little happier this morning---LOL!!
If tehy can add another piece to their offense ie: a quality WR, they could be competing with the Niners and Seattle this coming season.

Promotional Weather Stations - Customized
Time and weather go together in many instances and the promotional items backing this relationship can have your company giving its consumers the information needed to observe the trends in it. Customized weather stations allow your business associates to stay on top of time and the physical presence of the environments capable of sending certain kinds of weather conditions. For students of weather patterns, having statistics such as temperature, barometric pressure and humidity levels gives an invaluable look at what happens or what has the potential to happen outside. Because these promotional products also come with custom clocks as part of the package, there is an added benefit present for weather to be tracked and recorded as more common during certain times over others. Your clients and colleagues can become more aware of the external world around them and plan their objectives accordingly with promotional weather stations.

Pay rises that are really pay cuts for 2011
Pay rises in 2011 are likely to be better than last year – assuming the recovery continues – but your pay is likely to increase less than the cost of living. Helped by yesterday's 2.5 per cent increase in VAT, the rise in the cost of living is likely to outpace salary growth for the second year running. Figures from Incomes …
This is all only relevant if your boss is likely to increase your wages this year.
Most people will not see ANY rise unless the minimum wage increases.
Percent versus percentage points
> yesterday's 2.5 per cent increase in VAT
Wasn't it a 2.5 percentage point increase? (= ~2.1%)
Re: Percent versus percentage points
Well done sir, you win 2011 Pedant of the Year. The competition is now closed, thank you all.
(Yes that is correct.)

DPS officials tell KLTV that they have called off the search for a downed plane Sunday afternoon.
The Department of Public Safety says that reports of a downed plane in northern Rusk County were called in Sunday morning. The area of concern was near the intersection of State Highway 322 and FM 2011. This is near Lake Cherokee.
DPS crews from Garland flew over the area to try and find a wreck, but were unable to locate anything.
Multiple viewer reports on social media indicated a "loud boom" or "explosion" in the area Sunday morning.

We first invested in a Cambridge company in 1998 – two years after Index was founded. Our investment in Virata, a fabless semiconductor company, was a milestone for us, as it was our first major investment --and the biggest venture deal in Europe that year. It was also a highly significant moment in the story of the 'Cambridge Phenomenon' – Virata emerged from the city's illustrious cluster of silicon companies.
Over the years, we have continued to be active investors in Cambridge, one of the key hubs of entrepreneurial innovation in Europe. This time, however, we're backing a rather different proposition and one a world away from the hardware, software and bio-tech companies that Cambridge is best-known for – namely, The Cambridge Satchel Company.

An Excerpt from Mockingbird
In Caitlin's world, everything is black or white. Things are good or bad. Anything in between is confusing. That's the stuff Caitlin's older brother, Devon, has always explained. But now Devon's dead and Dad is no help at all. Caitlin wants to get over it, but as an eleven-year-old girl with Asperger's, she doesn't know how. When she reads the definition of closure, she realizes that is what she needs. In her search for it, Caitlin discovers that not everything is black and white - the world is full of colors - messy and beautiful.

Burgher lands first 2009 recruit
Huntington University women's soccer coach Ryan Burgher announced the signing of his first recruit, Kate Bienz, for the fall of 2009. The Homestead High School standout hails from Fort Wayne, Indiana where this past season she captained the Spartans to the semi-states in the State tournament.
Throughout her high school career, Bienz helped her team claim conference titles in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. During her junior year campaign, she was named Second Team All-Conference. As a senior captain, Bienz led Homestead to a Regional Championship and was named First Team All-Conference and Second Team All-District.
Bienz has also been very successful not only playing soccer at Homestead but also playing with the Fort Wayne Sports Club and the Fort Wayne Fever soccer club.
In the classroom Bienz has also excelled. She is a strong student that has been on the academic honor roll all 4 years at Homestead High School. She has also been an active member in the St. Michael Youth Group and Young Life.
"Kate personifies the type of student-athlete we are looking for in this new era of Huntington Women's Soccer." said Huntington head coach Ryan Burgher. "Aside from being a very gifted player, Kate is quality individual. She is the type of player that is going to come into our program and make a tremendous impact on and off the field for the next four years." Burgher said.
Bienz was highly recruited, but in the end, chose Huntington over conference rivals and several division one programs in Indiana. Bienz, who will be majoring in nursing at Huntington says, "Huntington has everything I need in a college. HU has a great atmosphere, a profound nursing program, and an awesome soccer team."
Bienz is the daughter of David and Mary Beth Bienz of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Lagos school girls harness the power of pee (2:08)
Nov. 23 - A group of enterprising Nigerian teenagers have developed a generator powered by urine to counter the country's chronic shortage of reliable electricity. It is estimated that more than half of Nigeria's 160 million citizens have no access to electric power, but the four Lagos schoolgirls believe one solution may lie in the power of pee. Jim Drury has more. ( Transcript )

Can anyone tell me how u get it so someone can leave a comment i have a blog and i would like to have that.
ReplyDelete NOOOOOOO!!!! FSN makes my head explode.
Santiago looks a heck of a lot like Marcos Baghdatis. Does that explain MB's disappearance for so much of last year? Is he living a double life as a boxer-short-wearing tennis player from Mexico? Not sure what the upside is to that, but I say "to each his own!"- AnonymousFebruary 24, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Well, i think his outfit is acceptable. The outfit that the guy (i'm sorry i can't remember his name), who played Simon this morning in Dubai, was just awful. The olive green shorts + the yellow t-shirt? No, no, no...Adidas' miss-hits are just amazing.
ReplyDelete OMG I totally that it was Baghdatis too!!! LOL
For the most part I think tv's "broadcasts" (if you can call them that) SU-UCCCKKKK. They're all terrible. Even during Slams. Too many talking heads. Show us the friggin' matches and stop talking talking talking about nothing nothing NOTHING. Ugh. Sorry, had to vent!! So yeah, if live streaming evades me I will def be pulling my hair out :(- AnonymousFebruary 25, 2009 at 12:53 AM
FSN *rolling eyes*
there's always a stream online so i don't think these two tourney are going to be an exception.
