Archanes, Iraklion
at 19.5
km (NW) from Geráki village
A small traditional town (~4000 people) 15 km south of Iraklion on the foot of the sacred mountain Yiouhtas. Renowned for its excellent wine (from the varieties: vilana, kotsifali and madilari) and the archaeolocical sites and caves.
In 1912, Xanthoudides noted the importance of Archanes, but Sir Arthur Evans was the first to characterize the site as palatial, declaring that Archanes was likely a Summer Palace for the Knossos kings. Spyridon Marinatos and N. Platon excavated minor areas in the region, but nothing supported Evans' theory. In 1964, J. Sakellarakis dug trial trenches at the Tourkoyeitonia site and uncovered the first evidence of a palace site. Since 1966, Archanes has been excavated by the Greek Archaeaological Society under the supervision of John Sakellarakis and Efi Sapouna-Sakellarakis.

Metaxochóri village
Ierapetra, Lassithi
at 21.4
km (SE) from Geráki village
It is a small village with few residents, loacated 4 km to the west of the village Christos at an altitude of 600 m. The residents of Metaxohori (GR: Μεταξοχώρι, or Parsás - GR: Παρσάς) have immigrated to the plains of Ierapetra, in Stomio, Ammoudares and Xerokampos and work in the glasshouses. The village has been renamed in 1955 from Parsas to Metaxohori to honor the Ecumenical Patriarch Meletios Metaxakis who was born here. The Metaxohori settlement dates from the 17th century, as follows from the dating of the old churches. In the older times, Parsas, as its name was, was built at 2 km below its present position, at the site Myrtaras. Until 1929, it belonged to the Municipality of Mournies in the Province of Viannos. Since then it has been an autonomous Community, in the 90s it belonged to the Municipality of Nea Malla and today it is a Local Department of the Municipality of Ierapetra. In 1630 it had 138 residents, in 1940 it had 281, and in 2001 55 residents were registered in the census. The permanent residents however are no more than 7. Metaxohori has good infrastructures, an asphalt road, a renovated school, a memorial for the fallen fighters, beautiful old and new churches and the bust of the Patriarch Meletios Metaxakis. It is connected by a dirt road to the Symi villages Riza – Mournies. The modern history of Metaxohori is rich in important persons and facts from the period of the Turkish rule and the German Occupation. The most prominent figures were Captain Diakomanolis, during the Turkish rule, and Giorgos Metaxakis, a lawyer who worked in the Prefecture and spoke 7 languages. In 1943, 7 residents of Parsas were arrested and executed at Sfakoura of Riza. Metaxohori or Parsas, with the ruined Cretan style houses, the half-wrecked cemetery church, the wonderful natural landscapes, the view to the mountaintops, has an unbelievable tranquility, which is only disturbed by the voices of animals and birds, and a nice healthy climate. There are also amazing mountaineering routes for the nature lovers and the cave at "Kleisidi" where there are old findings, utensils and skeletons of people who took refuge there during the Turkish rule. In the north of Metaxohori, at a great altitude, there is the cave of "Neraidogoula", which presents an inexplicable phenomenon. Sometimes in August unbelievable quantities of water flow out of the depths of the cave, flood the "Psoriaris" river and cause catastrophes. Perhaps this is why it took the name "Neraidogoula", that is the source of the Fairy. However, in Metaxohori, the village is dominated by the figure of the Ecumenical Patriarch Meletios Metaxakis, 1871-1935. His contribution in the posts he served into was huge and his bust adorns the central square of Ierapetra. Metaxohori today waits to be repopulated, to be revived, since it has a wonderful climate and its air is scented by the verdurous mountain slopes of Dikti. Its few residents experience the tranquility and the solitude waiting for the emigrants, the mountaineers, the nature lovers to come and admire the village of the Patriarch Meletios Metaxakis.

Minoan Megaron
Nirou Chani, North - East Iraklion
at 21.9
km (NW) from Geráki village
A Luxurious, two-storey house, built of large ashlar. The walls were strengthened by timber-frames and covered with a thick layer of plaster and marble slabs. The building has a paved courtyard, a shrine, storerooms for agricultural products, a staircase, and rooms with benches. It has been interpreted as a High Priest's house, due to the numerous ceremonial vessels it contained.
The house was probably built in the 16th century. C. (MM III period) and, after its destruction by fire in the 15th century BC (LM IB period), was finally abandoned.
The "Minoan Megaron" at Nirou was excavated in 1918 by St. Xanthoudides. In 1960, under the supervision of the Ephor of Antiquities N. Platon, the site was fenced and the building restored. The monument is consolidated and cleared at intervals by the 23rd Ephorate.

Cher biography
Born on May 20, 1946, in El Centro, California, Cher rose to stardom as part of a singing act with husband Sonny Bono in the 1960s. The couple later starred on The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour. Cher pursued acting in the 1980s, earning an Academy Award for her performance in Moonstruck. From 2008 to 2011, Cher performed a concert series entitled Cher at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Early Life and Music Career
Born Cherilyn Sarkisian on May 20, 1946, in El Centro, California, Cher rose to stardom as part of a singing act with her husband, Salvatore "Sonny" Bono. Known as Sonny and Cher, the duo scored a hit in 1965 with "I Got You Babe." They also had their own television series, The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, from 1971 to 1974.
After the couple divorced in 1975, Cher went out on her own. She continued to sing, recording several solo albums and reaching the top of the charts with songs like "Half Breed" and "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves." Over the years, she would become as famous for her daring costumes and unusual outfits as for her musical talent.
Acting Career
In the 1980s, Cher pursued an acting career. She appeared on Broadway in Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean in 1982, and reprised the role of Sissy in the film adaptation of the play. She continued to earn the respect of movie critics and fans alike thereafter by turning in a number of strong film performances, including in Silkwood (1983), Mask (1985) and Moonstruck (1987). Cher received her first Academy Award nomination for her performance in Silkwood and won her first Oscar (best actress) for her performance in Moonstuck.
Later Career
Cher released her last studio album, entitled Living Proof, in the United States in 2002 (it was released in Europe in 2001). The album features the single "(This Is) A Song for the Lonely," which did well on the dance charts and was written in honor to those affected by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Other tracks on the album include "Alive Again" and "A Different Kind of Love Song." Following Living Proof's release, Cher said "so long" to performing live with a 325-date farewell tour, entitled "The Living Proof: The Farewell Tour," which ran from 2002 to 2005.
In 2003, NBC aired one of Cher's live performances as Cher: The Farewell Tour. The program was nominated for six 2003 Emmy Awards and won three, for outstanding variety, music or comedy special; outstanding camerawork, video for a miniseries, movie or a special; and outstanding costumes for a variety or music program.
In Recent Years
In 2006, Cher auctioned off furniture, paintings and decorative objects from her home in Malibu, California, as well as a number of personal items, including memorabilia, jewelry and stage costumes. The auction brought in $3.5 million, with a portion of proceeds going to the Cher Charitable Foundation.
Two years later, Cher returned to the stage, despite previously announcing plans to retire from live performances. She debuted a show entitled Cher at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on May 6, 2008, and had performed 192 shows by the end of the series, in February 2011.
Married twice, Cher has two children: Her daughter, Chastity Bono, who underwent female-to-male gender transition in 2008 and now goes by the name Chaz, is from her first marriage to the late Sonny Bono (he died in a skiing accident on January 5, 1998), and son Elijah Blue Allman, born in 1976, is from her 10-day marriage to musician Gregg Allman in 1975.

Monterey Pop: Sometimes You Really Can't Go Home Again
The conflict between The Who and Jimi Hendrix, and who would go on first, is well- documented. Given Hendrix's meteoric rise in 1967and his clearly revolutionary style it's no surprise that The Who's Peter Townshend didn't want to go on after him. Nor did Hendrix want to go on after The Who who, at the time, were ending their sets in a blaze of glory as Townshend and drummer Keith Moon would trash the stage. But a flip of the coin settled the score, and The Who went on first, delivering a blistering version of "My Generation that ended with the requisite chaos. But as extreme as The Who were, this was a band that had woodshed considerably, and consequently deliver one of the most powerful performances of the film.
Putting Country Joe and the Fish after The Who just made them look even worse. Thankfully, when Otis Redding hit the stage with a crack band that was completely rehearsed, tight as a drumin tune, evenand exciting in a completely different way than The Who, it became easy to forget if not forgive Country Joe's multiple transgressions.
But when Hendrix hit the stagehis first major North American performanceit becomes clear that the audience fortunate enough to be thereand those, years later, fortunate enough to remember itwere in the presence of true greatness. Hendrix's performance of the perennial garage band classic "Wild Thing was incredible enough even before he burned his guitar. Placing oneself back at the time, seeing a left-handed guitarist, who literally flipped a regular right-hand instrument upside down and restrung it, playing in a completely unorthodox fashion, was stunning enough. But to hear the sounds he managed to pull out of a Fender Stratocaster and a wall of Marshall amplifiers was more than most could understand.
While other bands were loose in ways that had nothing but negative connotations, Hendrix was loose in the way a jazz artist is looseappreciative of the song's form, albeit, in this case, a very simple formbut treating it with complete fluidity where anything was possible and nothing could be predicted. Drummer Mitch Mitchell was like Elvin Jones crossed with Keith Moon on steroids, while bassist Noel Redding managed to anchor the trioa difficult task considering the maelstrom going on around him.
At this point Hendrix was being pushed to be a theatrical performer, something he'd distance himself from in relatively short order. So his guitar-burning antics were really something he had to do; but had he not, his performance would have been no less stunning and paradigm-shifting.
Jimi Plays Monterey / Shake! Otis at Monterey
Directed by D.A. Pennebaker
The Criterion Collection
2006 (1986)
While Jimi Plays Monterey could be considered a money graba thirty-minute performance fleshed out by some low-fi British footage, it's absolutely worth the watch. What his performance of "Wild Thing in Monterey Pop failed to express was just how revolutionary he was.
There's no doubt Hendrix was completely stoned out of his mind at the performance. His between-song patter was the stream-of-consciousness meanderings of someone on a cocktail of mind-expanding drugs. But like jazz guitarist Lenny Breauwho was equally high most of the time, but also able to play with crystal clarityHendrix did things that had simply not been heard before. With a bluesy-edge that made peers like Eric Clapton sound tame, and a fluid, unencumbered approach that made absolutely everything possible, the complete Monterey footage is as exciting now as it must have been then.
Playing three tunes from his debut, Are You Experienced? (MCA, 1967), a terrific cover of Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone and, of course, "Wild Thing to close out the set, Hendrix's set was like a bolt of lightning out of the blue. Others would follow and use some of the same showmanship devicesplaying with the guitar behind the back, playing with one's teeth. With Hendrix it wasn't shtick though, because they were his.
Still, these feats of showmanship didn't affect his ability to play one iota. Whether tearing out his own unique blues languagepossibly largely due to the very unorthodoxy of playing a right-handed guitar flipped around and restrungeliciting huge bursts of controlled feedback from his amplified or using his wammy bar to make his guitar growl and scream, Hendrix's performance at Monterey was the opening salvo to what would, sadly, turn out to be a tragically short career.
Still, between that summer and September, 1970 when he would die from drug-related complications, he went from the pop showmanship of Are You Experienced?

Check any connection type do you have choose
To check port are selected:
- Right-click the connection item and then click Properties.
- Click the Connection Info tab.
- On the Device list
- verify selection list.
For example, if the modem, Standard modem, is on COM2, and you have both Standard modem and COM2 selected, this could be the cause of the problem.
HAve you check the required port is open for pcanywhere?
What port(s) do the pcAnywhere 12.5 SP4 and pcAnywhere Agent 12.6.8096 host programs use?

- I wonder how Jama Mobarak , the formal Egyptian's presedent's son , feel after hearing this interview because on one of his confrences , he made fun of and laughed deeply in sarcastic way when he was asked about his intentions of meeting or making any kind of dialogue with the youth on the Facebook.
Jamal Mobarak couldnt stop laughing after hearing this question.
The questions is " who has the last laugh ?" - Reply to this comment
- New York Times, February 15, 2011
Lara Logan, the CBS News correspondent, was attacked and sexually assaulted by a mob in Cairo on Feb. 11, the day that the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was forced from power, the network said Tuesday.
After the mob surrounded her, Ms. Logan "suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers," the network said in a statement. Ms. Logan is recovering at a hospital in the United States.
This is an absolute horrific thing that happened here that should never have. Veteran reporters at 60 minutes seem to be just as smart as the administrators at the Peace Corps whose Bravado and Positivity has mounted to 1000+ Rapes.
One has to ask why is there such a deafening silence about this at the Peace Corps and at 60 minutes, CBS?
If reporters do their job and report on events that occur, perhaps some of those 1000+ rapes in the 3rd world could have been prevented. Just like this one.
Ya All seem to be in the business of intelligence but you all wreak of stupidity. I am not sure how many people in real life will choose to walk into a mob scene so eagerly. Many reporters were harmed in Egypt because of a profound level of stupidity that goes hand in hand in the field.
You people are supposed to know whats going on. But you know very little about what is going on.
A. H. Mubarack was in power because he was annually rewarded for his behavior to the tune of billions per year, pats on the back by 5 US Presidents, armed to the teeth and trained by the CIA/ US military. This was not an overthrow of a dictator. It was an overthrow of a dictation - by the United States. Just ask Ron Paul.
B. YA ALL should not be hurling reporters in harms way. CBS News needs to be sued to be made an example of. Reckless endangerment of your own is unacceptable.
This is an absolute tragedy. It is sickening and most unfortunate.
But more than that - just like a tornado - it was predictable.
Why CBS News lacks remedial level of intelligence is a shock. Shocking, reckless, irresponsible. All the reporters should have been yanked out a long time ago. Where and when they were not the company assumed full liability. Monetary liability. Get a friggin education 60 minutes. - Reply to this comment
- LARA LOGAN Assaulted by 200!
While doing work for 60 minutes. That is absolutely Tragic and most unfortunate.
About as tragic as the 1000+ Rapes in the Peace Corps.
There seems to be a reckless level of lack. Lack in informing 1st world girls with the animal instincts of 3rd world nations.
Especially the MOB. 60 minutes is reckless and unwise.
As unwise as the 1000+ Rapes at the Peace Corps.
Since when does silence = virtue?
60 minutes 60 minutes 60 minutes. You are unwise.
Reckless endangerment of employees. Bold n the Beautiful are prized commodities in the 1st world. But exploitative properties in the 3rd world.
This is a horrible thing that happened, that should not have.
3rd world vs. 1st world
do some homework. - Reply to this comment
- for all of those who thought and still think Wael is a traitor:
little do you know..
This guy right here.. is the reason why egyptians NOW and only NOW feel they live for a reason. Everything changed if you read news, the whole system and all the corrupted ends been eleminated, income is increasing, hate and rage desputed.. even Egyptains abroad walking around with pride and dignity, ever seen a nation cleaning up after their revolution?? ONLY NOW do egyptians feel that they own thier country.. and they want to keep it this way for good.. this was more of a domestic war, and every war between a good end and another evil, but the good were ready to face anything, from joining the revolution behind their parents back to being shot dead, and those who made it after a shot.. still went to the hospital, askin their brothers in arms not to tell their parents about it.. THEY WANTED TO DO SOMETHING.. and guess what >> THEY DID IT!
Stop just standing their and pointing at people because of what they got.. point at them for what they can do with what they got.. and it was never about Wael, although he was an activist, and although we needed a push to move.. we needed a wake up call. so look up a 6 months pregnant lady in the middle of the square, screaming her heart out "kill me and my unborn child for Egypt to live"... she was not a traitor.. 3 millions in the square were not traitors.. 2 millions in Alex. were not traitors.. im here in UAE too btw, i dont know wael personally and i wish i was one of the mrtyres back at that square or atleast standing there, but i can tell you this much, im not a traitor.. Just wait, and witness Egypt in 5 years from today.. TIME WILL PROVE YOU WRONG..! - Reply to this comment

- Pretty nice piece 60 Minutes.
A little something you missed Bright Bulb:
(Mubarak is a US created Frankenstein)
(VIDEO INTERVIEW) US Congressman Ron Paul on Egypt/ Mubarak:
(EGYPT ) "This is Our 30 Year mistake"
"This mess happened because of our foreign policy"
"We had a lot to do with Mubarak being in power and staying in power"
"He is our puppet dictator"
"He does what we tell him" (Congressman Ron Paul)
SO: Toppling over Mubarack was in fact toppling over US puppet.
Ya'all @60 minutes are SO brilliant. - Reply to this comment

Since 2006, the CERT Coordination Center has been hosting an annual meeting for CSIRTs with national responsibility immediately following the FIRST conference. This meeting provides an opportunity for organizations responsible for protecting the security of nations, economies, and critical infrastructures to meet and discuss the unique challenges of their roles.
Beneficial to both new and established National CSIRTs, the meeting provides a forum for networking and collaboration. Discussions are participant-driven and often focus on current issues, tools, and methods relevant to the National CSIRT community. We will also be allocating some of the sessions for CSIRTs to give presentations on their collaborative work or research. If your team is involved in a collaborative or unique project that would be of interest to other National CSIRTs, we encourage you to consider presenting.
Additional details will be posted as they become available.

not even for free, Papa.
don't forget this putz threatened all his employees with less hours so he wouldn't have to cover their insurance costs.
What? He tried to get around some government rules?!?! What is this country coming to?
The crappiest of the big chain pizza joints.
Don't blame papa, it's obamadoesn'tcare killing businesses!
Elections have consequences. Do what you gotta do, Papa. I'll order one for dinner tonite.
I do support Papa stance on Obamacare, but do I like those crappy pizzas, no.
He may be a scumbag, but at least get the facts right. He didn't threaten his employees with hour cuts. He was trying to articulate the point that some employees hours may be cut to avoid a substantial increase in compensation if those costs, as higher prices for pizza, would render his business less competitive. Also, Papa Johns is a publicly owned company. So, it's not like he just digs into his pockets to pay for extra benefits. If investors bail on lower profit margins, the company can contract and some employees will be out of a job, not just healthcare.
Don't like him? Then also don't like Taco Bell, and several other fast food joints doing the same thing. My job's onsite service techs did the same thing and they lost 20% of their work force across the country.
As the costs start being realized, expect more of the same. Or We'll start losing more than twinkies. * Note that they went under for bad business decisions and Labor costs, not the new health care costs.
If papa john's costs go up as a result of this so does every other business that fall into that particular category. The loss of income and making investors happy are not ever directly related unless there is dividends involved and even then the percentages are very loss. Costco is one company that caters to it's business model regardless of what the investors think and it is growing in leaps and bounds and customer as well as employee satisfaction.
There is strength and value in numbers when buying health insurance. A country that doesn't have a national medical system, for better or worse, has to depend on the business's that hire people to negotiate and get a better deal on healthcare because there is no other way to do it. The companies will pass on the costs of those to their customers just like they do any other costs and eventually it will come out of all of us consumers pockets. However if it costs me a buck more to buy a Papa John's pizza due to healthcare costs, then it should cost me the same extra buck whether I get domino's or any other pizza.
I, for one, would not mind paying at extra buck for a pizza if I know that the 100,000 or whatever numbers that work for them are going to have healthcare.
Shitty pizza's notwithstanding.
We all lose when the goverment meddles in the private sector in the name of "progressivity." Take "pre-existing conditions," for instance. By mandating that they be covered by private insurers, with no regard to consequence, it's akin to telling people that they can wait until their home is ablaze before they purchase fire insurance. With the election as a claimed "mandate," the heavy hand of government is slowly going to squeeze the life out of the private sector; let there be no doubt. But it's all about "good intentions." With good intentions, one need not worry about consequences in the progressive world view. It's the thought that counts.

For all the lovely gifts. We didn't know about them since our mail is still not working. The gift mail worked for our dogs. Why doesn't it work for us kitties?
Mom's sister Lilian and her share the same date of birth but 9 years apart. Auntie is a very talented person. She lost her voice years ago due to a growth in her neck area that had to be removed. She has worked really hard at getting some of her voice back. It is so lovely to hear her singing again. And, her kitty Sammy, seems to enjoy it too ... Lilian and Sammy Sammy was rescued by her.
This is too much. We really wanted to stay in touch but can't. Someone wake us up if it ever starts working again.

Okay. We got ourselves a good topic here; but remember, this blog is about writing short stories. So, what happens in a short story when a husband cannot make his wife cum? This situation is a great situation for a short story writer. Let's say the couple is very much in love.
We are talking drama here, people.
Let's turn up the heat. The wife wants to have orgasms with her husband. Her desire for passionate sex is one of the reasons why she got married; but she married her husband because she thought he was a good man and he loved her. No, they did not have sex before marriage. She's an old fashion girl.
This is a great story line.
The point of this posts is that short stories are about drama. The higher the drama the more intense the reading experience for the reader. Now don't get me wrong. Every story you write cannot be high drama. Most of the stories you write will be low drama. Most of the stories that I write are low drama.
Just internalize the fact that fiction is drama. No drama, you don't have a story.
Hello, Pitt students. I know you are back in Oakland. Great. Check out my blog. Keep reading flash fiction and those of you who are writers keep writing.

About Kal Zekdor
All of what you said is absolutely true. You just missed one point. Why is this a bad thing?
Why do you need a "job"? To earn money? Why do you need money? To purchase things you need? Well, what if everything you need, all throughout the line of production, is produced quickly, cheaply, and in quantities surpassing demand? Is there need for money? Is there need for a "job"?
That utopian scenario is likely the end result of industrial automation (if we can figure out raw resource limitations, anyway). Granted, that won't happen for a long, long time, but until that point, we will always have jobs that need doing.
Ehh... By the time the singularity actually happens, I doubt there'll be any real distinction between "human" and "machine". This alarmist notion that ever more intelligent computers will replace humanity precludes the notion that if we can build a machine that's smarter than us, then we can certainly find a way to make ourselves smarter.
Thanks for being one of the few people who've reacted to this story with any sort of sense.
You're absolutely right, this was most likely a result of IRS agents trying to do their job (poorly), and not, as some espouse, a political conspiracy directed from the top.
That said, I'm personally outraged by this bias in the IRS, whatever its original intent. It's akin to racial profiling; though there may be a statistical correlation between the population and behavior (correlation, not causation, big difference), by no means does this make it acceptable to target said population in order to prevent the behavior, based on no other evidence.
Even if this isn't a conspiracy, the people responsible need to be fired. This sort of behavior is entirely unacceptable for any part of our government, and particularly for the IRS which is supposed to maintain political neutrality.
In the original US copyright law, could you renew a work multiple times?
E.g. someone publishes a book in 1800, then in 1814 renews the copyright as it expires. Could that person then, in 1828, renew it for another 14 years, or is there a maximum 28 year term?
I haven't been able to get a clear answer on this from my (admittedly precursory) research on the topic.
I don't think hardpay walls in them self's are inherently a bad idea so long as they are flagged and optional. Take for example if I'm not interested in the mulitplayer aspect of a game why is it not an option just to buy the single player at a reduced price with the option to add in the mulitplayer as paid DLC later on?
A nuclear war would collapse a countries infrastructure. It wouldn't take much to disconnect a few keys players and shatter the web.
Half of politicians are ignorant idiots, and half of them are intentionally corrupt. (There is some overlap.) Just because they seem intelligent doesn't mean that they care for anything other than lining their own pockets.
Why do the majority of the media industry insist on forcing legislation to protect their outmoded business model? They are stretching an analog model to fit a digital world; and when it doesn't reach, they try to make the world smaller.
This is not 1980. Adapt or perish. The idea of fixed channels is rooted in the radio bandwidth limitations of a broadcast medium. DVDs/BRs are treated as physical products, not as a transmission medium for digital content. Advertising is rapidly approaching one third of a given program to try to make up for perceived "losses" due to DVRs.
The only choices should not be rigid, industry-centric consumerism; wherein good little citizens sit down every day at 6pm, get up every day at 11pm, laugh at the same time, cry at the same time, a single entity spread across every home; or, alternatively, content consumption as theft, anyone not adhering to the strict rules set down by the providers are hunted down and imprisoned.
I may have been overly bleak and exaggerative just there, but not by much.
There are examples of distribution entities that have adapted to a digital paradigm. Hulu, for instance. It's selection leaves a bit to be desired (particularly the completely asinine delay between broadcast and Hulu availability), but I am perfectly willing to sit through (and actually watch) three or four 15 second advertisements during the course of a 42-minute program (note 42-minutes, as shows are filmed with the archaic limitations of advertised channel programming in mind).
The only reason I can even watch broadcast television at all is my dvr. If that gets broken, well, then there's no need for me to have cable TV at all, is there?
The root of this entire issue is MPAA trying to force consumers to pay for the same movie multiple times. First, at the theatres, then (now, at least) via PPV, then DVD/BR, and then advertiser supported broadcast. In my opinion movies should be released at theatres and on DVD/BR simultaneously, though I'm not naive enough to believe that would ever actually happen.
With the advent of HDTV, and the ease of digital distribution today, there becomes less and less benefit from theatre viewing over home viewing of films. Content producers should bypass MPAA entirely and sell directly to consumers, it would be no end of good press. But, again, I'm not naive enough to believe that they would think of long-term gain, when short-term consumer raping seems so much more profitable.

Turn my mic up, turn my mic up

[Hook - 2x]
I'm a paid nigga, live my life
On the streets, from the cradle to the grave nigga
I'm a made nigga, got no time for you bitches
And you bustas, I'm a paid nigga
I'm a paid nigga, living laid nigga
Candy sprayed Escalade, valet nigga
Slamming foreign do's, jamming foreign hoes
See me spo'ting nothing but ice, man I'm feeling cold
I'm a South boy, you run your mouth boy
40 caliber'll, take a nigga out boy
Still pimping, platinum albums we shipping
Got them girls in the club, steady stripping
We still gripping grain, we still swang and bang
Got that new Hummer 2, with that wide frame
Kicking like Shenobi, niggaz say they know me
I be balling like I'm playing, next to Shaq and Kobi
Nigga pass the do-di, cause mayn I'm going off
Just spent a quarter mill, on that new house
This the new South, coming with the blue frost
First nigga, in the hood with the blue mouth
[Hook - 2x]
Still living lavish, still got to have it
Just like a fat rabbit, gotta have them carrots
Three in my ear, twenty on my arm
Ten in my teeth, fifteen on my charm
Johnnie hooked me up, labels look me up
The way we shine down South, got em shooken up

Steady dropping heat, niggaz can't compete
Got the new Navigator, with the fold out seats
Banging Chris beats, flowing on a platinum mic

Gotta stack mo' figgas, like my name was Jigga

Trying to stack mo' paper, then the Johnnie Cochran

Man I think I'm balling out, the way my screens be falling out
Like them diamonds I be shining, like the Clipse it got me grinding
Bet this year I'll make a mill, way before I get the deal
Wood wheel gripping steel, coming down with the bumping grill
Blowing kill we keep it trill, I know they hate but we keep it real

And if them boys want a show, I'm ten G's or mo'
Stacking paper tall, as if them scrapers dog

Got the crib with the maid nigga, automatic shades nigga
Made nigga, never been a slave nigga
I'm a brave nigga, pop trunk wave nigga

Five S
This course will give an in-depth overview of Five S. Five S is a way of organizing and managing the workspace and work flow with a goal of improved efficiency and safety, which is done in part by reducing and eliminating waste, which is any activity that does not bring value or is unproductive. In order for an activity to be considered as value added, it should be an activity that a customer is willing to pay for. The reduction of waste is a primary component to increase profit.
Human Resource Management; Health and Safety
These courses will explain the strategic approach to the management of an organization's most valued assets, the people, who are working collectively to achieve the objectives of the business. Put simply, it means employing people, developing their resources, while utilizing, maintaining, and compensating their services. Key topics will include Sexual Harassment, Workplace Diversity, Ethics, and High Involvement Teamwork.
These courses will discuss some main aspects of leadership, which is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. Leadership is carried out by applying attributes, such as beliefs, values, ethics, character, knowledge, and skills. Key topics will include Executive Management, Policy Deployment, and Principles of Supervision.
Lean and Lean Enterprise
These courses are designed to teach the basics of the Lean Processes. Lean is the set of tools that assist in the identification and steady elimination of waste. The implementation of Lean is focused on getting the right things, to the right place, at the right time, in the right quantity to achieve perfect work flow while minimizing waste and being flexible and able to change. Key topics include Process Mapping, Value added vs. Non Value added, Lean for Leaders, Problem Solving, RCCA, and Continuous Improvement mindset (A way of life).
These courses will focus Quality within business, engineering and manufacturing. There are two common quality related functions within a business. One is quality assurance which is the prevention of defects, such as by the deployment of a quality management system and preventative activities like FMEA. The other is quality control which is the detection of defects, most commonly associated with testing which takes place within a quality management system typically referred to as verification and validation. Key topics include AS9100, AS9102 First Article Inspection, and Internal Lead Auditor.

Emergency Triage is the core text for the MTS which utilises a risk averse system of prioritisation for patients in all unscheduled care settings, and as such it is an essential text for all emergency department staff using the MTS, in particular triage nurses themselves.
The second edition has been revised throughout and takes in the changes in practice introduced into MTS since the book was first published. These include:
Redesigned and expanded flow charts
Additional charts for allergy and palpitations
New practices - such as the possibility of revascularisation for patients with stroke
New discriminators, for example acute neurological deficit and significant respiratory history
Redefinition of existing discriminators
Also new to this edition is the incorporation of sections on the use of the risk averse system in telephone triage, in settings where 'streaming' takes place and as an early warning score for patients in all unscheduled care settings. The tone of this edition reflects the more up to date, modified approach to triage while retaining the principles of clinical prioritisation, which in the authors' words "remains a central plank of clinical risk management in emergency care".
Emergency Triage is an essential handbook for all clinicians involved in unscheduled care settings such as emergency care, walk in centres, minor injury units, primary care out of hours services.

Project Outline Show (It's obviously incomplete but we'll work on that.)RulesThis project will consist of two threads, one for posting ideas and suggestions, and one for the city itself; by keeping the discussion and the chronicles separate we can do both without them interfering with each other.[list=I]City Thread Show A city thread will be used for the focal point of the story.

Actual game statistics have yet to be determined.[list=I]Refugee breakdown including resources and skills: Show HUMANS:Carpenter's Family Show Koren (carpenter), plus wife and two sons (2 Adults, 2 Children; 3m, 1f).Description: Koren grew up in a seaside city, learning his father's trade and becoming an accomplished shipwright. When he lost both of his brothers to the sea, he closed up shop and moved inland, where he as worked as a carpenter in [Old City]. While much work was available in [Old City] after the dragon attack, Moses convinced him that the attack was not over. Since moving to [Old City], he has bowed to the demands of his customers and kept to the prevailing styles of the city, but now he feels a renewal of his youthful ambitions and dreams, and Koren thinks he can make a mark in this new settlement, artistically speaking.Skills: Carpentry (Koren and his sons), wicker weaving (wife).Resources: Carpenter's tools, a cart (for hauling lumber) and mule.Nan Kya's Orphans Show Nan Kya (cook and herbalist), Jessie (stablegirl), Tam (linkboy) and Rat (mudlarker and occasional pickpocket) who currently has a badly sprained leg. (1 elderly, 3 children; 2m, 2f).Description: Nan Kya is unofficial third granny to many of the children in the slum quarter of [Old City] and when disaster struck and scattered their families, it was Nan Kya that the lost children gravitated to. In the days that followed, most of the children were reclaimed by their parents, older siblings and street gangs, but three remain with nowhere else to go and Kya has taken them under her wing.Although justifiably renowned for her ability to make even the poorest food taste good, it is in fact the medical side of her herb lore that the local adults revere. Nan Kya, they say, is the person to turn to when you can't go to the temples and the official healers or alchemists - for whatever reason, be it cost, or fear, or simply having a bounty on your head.Skills: Cooking, healing, and herbalism.Resources: Spices, herbs, and a grand old black cauldron.Noble Swine Show Lyndon Merriweather a noble, his wife Fionna, and two daughters (2 adults, 2 children; 1m, 3f).Description: Lyndon Merriweather had come from a prestigious, well-to-do family. His family holdings were spread far across the city, with monetary influence in almost every walk of life. Lyn had it all. And he wasted it daily. He was a spoiled, rich brat, never having to work a day in his life for anything. Everything that he wanted he could purchase, from his clothes, to his house, to his "education", to his every whim. Typically, he could be seen at one of the local taverns, frittering away coin on boozing, gambling, and whoring. No one really liked him, not that he cared; with all of his money and power, no one could really do anything about it. This was a life that he was used to.He had an arranged marriage, and wasn't even old enough to speak up for himself when the deal was made. With his own inheritance and the dowry of his wife, he would have been able to drink away the next fifty years, had he lived that long. Fionna was pretty, though not as stunning as some of the women that he frequented. They had two daughters who barely knew their father.Lyndon became the unwilling financier of the refugees, when he tactlessly threw himself at Ariana, not realizing that she too was of noble birth. The fact that his money had bought many of the provisions was a fact that he would not soon forget, and would lord over any who questioned his slothfulness.Skills: None.Resources: (TBD)Wranglers Show Jackson, Uther "Bear" Daar, Mikael "Mikey" Karlsson, and Puma Felidae, cattle wranglers and ranch hands (4 adults; 3m, 1f).Description: The distant flames seemed to light up Jackson's eyes against the canvas of his dark skin in the shadows of the night. His first thoughts were of Ariana. He thought she had said she was coming back to the city today. For once he hoped that she was late.Jackson found Bear, his face buried in his meaty paws. A man who could bare knuckle coldcock a horse, reduced to a whimpering child. Bear's horse was a heavy clod, too dumb to flee.Puma, arguably the most cunning wrangler, had managed to wrangle a dozen head of cattle up into a draw, trusting (correctly) that the others would find her.The three found Mikael, the youngest, smallest of the wranglers, still sound asleep back at camp.That Mikey...Skills: Handling animals and martial training.Resources: Four well bred riding horses, riding gear, whips and other weaponry.The Farmer's Family Show Costran, Farm Family Patriarch, plus wife Dhalitha and sons Dexis and Lorten (1 elderly, 3 adult; 3m, 1f).Description: Costran has farmed all his life, and is rather successful about it. He oversees large farming plots outside the city, growing crops on rotating years, and even trying his hand at winemaking as a hobby. He has four three strong sons from his first (late) wife, and has remarried Dhalitha , an attractive young foreign-born dancer Costran met in the city, much to the dismay of his sons who think she might be after his land and money. In his youthful days, Costran became a devoted follower of the local religion, converted by the newly-confirmed priestess Moses. When he heard that Moses was having a bit of a crisis of faith, he decided to follow her on her pilgrimage, and make sure these "danged younguns who ain't known a hard days work" didn't get themselves in trouble. He turned his farm over to his eldest son and his wife to take care of while he went on this little trip, and took his two younger sons Dexis and Lorten along with him.Skills: Farming (Costran and his sons), wood-cutting (Lorten) and entertainment (Dhalitha).Resources: Farming implements (plow, etc.), (?) seed and a couple of good draft horses.Hoffman Family Show Randell, wife Jacqueline, brother Jarett, and son Payton (3 adults, 1 Child; 3m 1f)Description:With their parents recently deceased, Randell and Jarett maintained a small potato farm far outside of [Old City]. On [Old City's] fateful day, the Hoffman family only saw brief glimpses of the life altering event. When refugees started making their way out, they threw the farmstead open to help those in need. Sticking together and helping out where ever they can, they joined the refugees out to a future unknown.Skills: Potato farming (Randell), wood-cutting (Jarett) and mending (Jacqueline).Resources: Mule, cart, plow and potatoes.Ariana the Falconer Show Ariana: falconer and prodigal noble (1 adult; 1f).Description: Born the unexpected fourth child to the noble Aquila family allowed Ariana to be freed of most of the obligations and expectations of her older siblings. Lacking a strong hand to guide her into being a typical noble, Ariana found herself drawn to the wilderness and the freedom to be found there. Though considered uncouth and snubbed by her noble peers, it was this relaxed nature that allows her to interact easily with commoners and has allowed her to stand forward in these times of troubles.Full Description Found HereSkills: Wilderness survival, diplomacy and martial training.Resources: (TBD)Urchin Bandon Show Urchin, once homeless (1 adult; 1m)Description: Like any street kid, Klein "the Urchin" Bandon had had a hard life, one which nearly doubled his apparent age. Now sixteen, he looked nearly thirty, which had played to his favor. He was uncommonly strong for his age, which could be attributed mostly to his iron will and good cooking. His strength, combined with his older looks, had allowed him to work at the docks since he was only twelve. The wages barely paid for food, so what food he bought was usually in the form of raw ingredients, which Nan Kya, his adopted grandmother, was more than willing to cook up.The docks were closed for solstice, which left Klein to his other "profession", spending the day collecting on the generosity of others. He was at the temple pavilion when the lighthouse gave birth to the cursewarped terror, and was one of the many ushered inside the safety of the temple walls.In the aftermath, there were not enough common labor jobs for even those that were recently made homeless, let alone those who had spent a lifetime in poverty. When Moses approached him about going with the small group of refugees, he knew his bargaining chip. Thanks to Nan Kya's kindness, he was an ox. It was no surprise that his agreement came with the condition that Nan Kya be allowed to go as well.Skills: Heavy lifting, jack-of-all-trades.Resources: None.DWARVES:Axebreaker Clan Show Bofbin Axebreaker (cartographer and scholar) and his wife Darea (2 elderly; 1m, 1f).Helthal (soldier), Bofbin's son, and his wife and children (1 elderly, 2 adults, 1 child; 2m, 2f).Orion (barkeep), Bofbin's grandson, and his wife (2 Adults; 2m, 2f).Description: Bobfin has seen his children succumb to the wandering nature of his youth, and without much success. He has committed too many of his children and grandchildren to the earth long before their time, and except one son, a daughter, and his grandson, his few living decedents are scattered to the winds.Full Description Found HereSkills: Various.Resources: Charts and maps, a small collection of books, axes, armor, etc...Dirt Farmers Show Darryl One-eye (retired mercenary) with his farmer father, his wife Deurana and baby daughter (1 elderly, 2 adults, 1 child; 2m, 2f).Description: Darryl heard the dragon wings before his remaining eye spotted the fires springing up in its wake. He managed to get down into the cellar with his wife, his baby daughter and his doom-and-gloom father before the dragon reached them - along with a goat that was about to kid. The group huddled at the back of the cellar and waited for the beast to go away.When they finally emerged again, there were 4 goats to lift out of the cellar and all the grain fields were burnt flat. Skills: Farming and masonry.Resources: 1 goat, 4 kids, and the miscellaneous contents of the cellar (everything else was burnt to the ground).HALFLINGS:Garfunkle's Gang Show Garfunkel (prospector) and Ginger Rabbitsnare and Garf's tag-along "little" brother Benji (3 adults; 2m, 1f).Description: What happens when you cross a stream loving halfling and a stream of good luck? A halfling gold prospector! Sifting gold from the very streams he lives on, the young gold-seeking halfling, his newlywed wife, and brother make a fine addition to our group!Skills: Prospecting (Garfunkel), mining (Garf), and trapping (Ginger).Resources: Pickax, snares, and a gold pan.Janis and Sons Show Janis (woodswoman), and her two twin sons (1 adult, 2 children; 2m, 1f).Description: Janis and her late husband spent a lot of time in on the rivers and in the nearby forests, but when her husband died when her sons were infants, Janis settled down to care for them. Janis found a friend in Ariana the falconer, and taught her much of what she knows of the forests.Skills: Wilderness survival (including fishing and trapping).Resources: Fishing lures, twine, a hatchet, and skinning knife.The Lucky Trio Show Gillybloom (f), Taffle (m), Tansy (f child) (2 adults, 1 child; 1m, 2f).Description: It was originally part dare, part coming of age celebration (apart from someone's tag-along kid sister determined to prove she was just as good as the rest of them). They were all going to climb the lighthouse and wave flags from the top. Gillybloom was leading the way when the beast broke out, hurling them all in different directions. Gillybloom and two others were lucky enough to land in the softish mud of the riverbank, but they haven't seen any of their friends since. These three, Gillybloom, Taffle and Tansy, now stick together as a personal reminder not to be so foolish again.Before the [Old City] was attacked, Gillybloom was learning to scout ahead and around and Taffle is an apprentice sail & rope-maker. Tansy is still a generalist, used to pitching in with any task that needs help.Skills: Scouting (Gillybloom) and rope/sail making (Taffle)Resources: None.DRAGONBORN:Yorcha and Yishi Show Yorcha (mercenary warrior), and Yishi, her 11 yr old squire with dreams of working magic(1 adult, 1 child; 2f)Description: This was supposed to be an easy hire. Or so the recruiter had claimed. Just standing guard in a city where the threat had already left. No problems, just routine watches from battered walls. That's why Yorcha had brought her young cousin Yishi as her squire, hoping that the youngling would gain enough experience in the trade that she would actually settle down and work instead of craning her neck after every mage that walked past. If only she had known that it wasn't over...Skills: Martial training.Resources: Weapons and armor.Double Dragons Show Ghoros, first out of the egg, and Ghent, who followed (2 children; 2m).Description: A rarity indeed, twin dragonborn are almost unheard of. Born of the same shell, Ghoros is the stronger of the brothers, while Ghent is more clever. The two are in constant competition, and had been in a footrace (Ghoros leading, of course) when the cursewarped dragon shook the world. They never found their father.While Ghoros leans more towards the martial persuasion, leaning to the hand-and-a-half swords like their father, Ghent keeps his head in books, trying to wrap his intellect around the concepts of the arcane arts. However, without a teacher, it would be a surprise if Ghent ever mastered more than the most basic of cantrips.The twins soon come of age, a time of power for dragonborn when inherent abilities manifest. Only the gods know the fates of the double dragons.Skills: Arcane (Ghent) and martial training (Ghoros).Resources: A book on arcane magic and a relic katana.Deethra, new mother Show Deethra, inactive dragonborn mercenary, and her unhatched egg, name undecided. (1 adult, 1 child; 1f, 1 unknown)Description: Deethra had entered [Old City] a few weeks before solstice. After years of mercenary service, she needed to settle down for a bit. Gestation would soon be over, and she needed a place to rest, lay her egg, and raise her child. She spoke with the elders of the temple near the lighthouse, and they did what they could to accommodate her.Her labor began on the eve of summer solstice. Feasts and festivities were well under way already, and it seemed to be a glorious day to birth her young. The labor was long, too be sure, but no matter for her; young born on solstice was an auspicious event. She was excited, both for herself and her child. That is, until it happened.The egg began to crown at dusk on solstice, and as the sun set the ground began to shake. Everyone stopped what they were doing, and when the sun dropped beneath the horizon, a tremendous explosion shattered the lighthouse. All that could be seen was smoke and flame. And at that moment, the egg was laid, and Deethra collapsed from exhaustion.When she awoke the following morning, many of the priests were unconscious, if not dead, though her egg seemed healthy. She was still exhausted from her delivery, but was compelled to investigate. It was then she met Moses, as the visibly shaken priest insisted that Deethra lay back down; Deethra was in no condition to do anything at the moment. The priest then presented Deethra's egg to her, and was directed to care and watch over it.As the days past, there was much discussion over the events of solistice; the curse-warped gold dragon laid waste to much of the city. Leaders promised that everything would be fine, and that rebuilding is already underway. But there were some who were unconvinced, and after listening to Moses, she had to agree. This place would not be a safe location to raise her child. She would join the refugees; it was time to leave.Skills: Martial training.Resources: None.The Smiths Show Vharas and Senzer (2 adults, 2m).Description: By all that is just and true in Dragonborn society, Vharas should have grown up to be an incredible warrior. However, strong blood and great apprenticeships did not overcome his pacifism. After he was formally recognized as an adult, he took the rare step of reapprenticing himself to Senzer, an older dragonborn mercenery who had retired from campaigning and worked as a weapon and armorsmith.Senzer, not being one for celebrations, was working with Vharas in his shop when the Golden Death struck. Half of the building collapsed, pinning Senzer's left arm to the burning forge-coals. Vharas freed himself from the rubble quickly, and struck off Senzer's arm with a recently forged axe to free his master from his torment and escape the spreading fire.Senzer has been a shell of his former self since the attack, and with the shop destroyed, there has been little to occupy his time. Vharas heard about this foolish band of refugees, and decided to drag Senzer on one last, and Vharas' first, campaign, in order to rekindle his spirits.Skills: Blacksmithing, weapon and armor smithing, and martial training.Resources: Smithing tools, iron ore, and a variety of weaponry and other metal implements.ELVES:Twin Sisters Pomi and Loti Show Sisters Pomi and Loti, wanderers who had most recently been florists in [Old City] (2 adults; 2f).Description: Pomi and Loti grew up in an elven community built around a small hillock in the woods. Born as twins they were inseparable, often getting into trouble for finding themselves in places they adults feared they were to young to visit. In truth this was as much due to egging each other on as much as their natural curiosity. As they grew their wanders took them farther and farther afield, so it was no surprise when they announced they had decided to see the world beyond their forests. Traveling mostly by foot on the few roads available for over five years they were lucky to pass by most of their potential obstacles, but eventually news of their elder sister's declining health directed their travels to [old city]. Upon arriving in [old city] they found their sister had passed on and a niece, Mililani (half-elf), in need of a family so they agreed to take a short break. Two years later they had their florists business thriving but were starting to feel the need to wander again when the dragon broke free...Skills: Various.Resources: Gardening tools and exotic seeds.Marlola Show Marlola and her infant, half-dragon son, Acharis (draconic, meaning emerald hope) or "Chris" (adult 1, child 1; 1f, 1m).Description: With the sun on her face and the smell of the forest enveloping her, Marlola realized she was free. She wondered the forest, praying to find her village, but no stream or tree ever looked familiar. She survived as best she could and gathered what food she found when the time for her son's birth approached.When the refugees found her by following the cries of her child, they found her half starved and near death. The baby boy was well nurtured and healthy, for Marlola gave the boy all she could. They took her in and cared for her. The secret of the boy's father remains hidden away in the her nightmares, while she remains fearful of what others may think of him if they knew the truth.Full Description Found HereSkills: None.Resources: None.HALF-ELVES:Mililani Show Mililani the young niece of Pomi and Loti, and barwench from the Dragon's Berth (1 adult; 1f).Description: Mililani is a young half-elf (16 years old) living with aunts Pomi and Loti while working at the bar her mother worked in, the Dragon's Berth. Though her father is not publicly known Mililani has lived a life of love and joy, surrounded by the friendly patrons of the bar. Forced to live alone when her mother died three years ago, she was eventually reunited with her elven heritage when her aunts arrived a year later. Though independent and somewhat brash, her ready smile and lively wit has allowed Mililani to avoid most of the troubles that could be expected of a young girl in a large city.Full Description Found HereSkills: Diplomacy.Resources: None.Jeffers Show Jeffers, retired guard, co-owner of the Dragon's Berth (1 adult; 1m).Description: During his last patrol as city guard, a group of burglars had shattered his right leg, and he had been forced to retire from service. Taking what savings he had, Jeffers found common cause at the Dragon's Berth. Owned by Bobfin's grandson, Boffin (?), the bar had become seedy and run down, typically losing money to drinks unpaid. Now as co-owner and cook/part-time bouncer of the Dragon's Berth, he has helped turn it into a well-established tavern and inn that typically caters to both city-folk and wayward travelers. On occasion, his right leg would courses with pain, and it always foretelling of a bad day to come. He has a gruff, somewhat reserved demeanor, but is always honest and helpful, and loves to recount his days as a guard.Skills: Martial training.Resources: His old weapon (the armor belonged to the city).ELADRIN:Aust's Entourage Show Aust Amakiir (lorekeeper), his "nephew" Tier (escort), and Sylvia (2 adult, 1 venerable; 2m, 1f).Description: Aust Amakiir lives only half in the world. As his body passes into the ether his soul seems to shine through it like a light. He is not long for the world, which may explain why he seemed as serene as ever while the dragon streaked like a bright golden meteor above the darkened streets of the city.Amakiir [meaning: beautiful silence of dusk] fancies himself a loremaster, which offers the other explanation as to why he was so calm. He knew. Though it is only speculation, it would explain his timely arrival in the city, the countless hours in the library, and how some books just happened to be in his possession rather than at the library when it burned to the ground.He arrived in town with two young eladrin, Tier, who he introduced as a nephew, and Sylvia his nephew's bride. Tier has a quick wit, and a quick blade, and never strays far from the company of his uncle. Tier seems to be more of guard and escort than young nephew, though Sylvia seems to genuinely be espoused to Tier.Skills: Various.Resources: Carriage with two good horses, a collection of books saved from the [Old City] library along with many of his own scripts and a light riding horse with gear.Neya Family Show Ovien Neya a noble eladrin with a swashbuckler style, his wife Sooraya[b] (silversmith) and Layla, their tomboyish daughter who is soon to be apprenticed (2 adult, 1 child; 1m, 2f).[b]Description: Ovien desperately wants to re-establish his family's name. However, rather then acting as an arrogante noble he has decided to hide his background and try to start anew. He knows that others may distrust his noble heritage but he hopes to directly help the people rather then become some overbearing tyrant.Ovien is tall, with blond hair and fair skin. Purple eyes. Dresses in subdued swashbuckler-esque dress. He has some skill at dueling and training horses but his primary skill lies in diplomacy.Sooraya is a good hand at silversmithing since she originally came from a poor noble line that had to work hard for a living. She is a moderately attractive woman who emphasizes the strange fey-like qualities of the Eladrin. She walks with a strange grace. Her hair is long and shimmers like silver. Her eyes are as bright as emeralds. She dresses in blue and gold silk gowns still wearing the colors of the Neya family.Layla is of an eladrin age equivalent to a fourteen year old human. Before the disaster in [Old City], she had been learning various etiquettes involved with being a noble. Now, Sooraya has been trying to keep up those lessons while emphasizing the need to learn a good trade. Sooraya is looking to apprentice her daughter so that she can learn to be her own person. The decision on what trade to learn is up to Layla.Layla is lithe, quick eladrin with curly blonde hair. She has her father's purple eyes. Layla is the only member of the family to run around in what her parents call 'undignified' dress. She wears leather pants, linen shirts and likes to rough-house with the local children. Her friendly personality has made her several friends.Full Description Found HereSkills: Diplomacy (all) and silversmithing (Sooraya).Resources: A treasure chest with the family fortune, a few well bred horses, to include Ovien's prizewinning stud and mare.The Orphaned Child Show Silaqui (1 child, 1f)Description: Silaqui had moved to [Old City] with her parents several years ago, while she was still very young. In the aftermath of the first attack, she found herself alone; both parents were slain, and she had no family to care for her. Now a youth, and with noone else to turn to, she joins Nan Kya with the refugees.Skills: None.Resources: None.TIEFLING:Moses Show Moses, the tiefling priestess (1 adult; 1f).Skills: Diplomacy, healing, divine abilities and religious knowledge.Resources: None (due to an aesthetic lifestyle).Notable Figures Show [list=A]Ariana the FalconerJeffers, Owner of the Dragon's BerthBofbin, dwarven cartographer and historianOther Stuff[list=I]Economics Show (nothing mentioned or discussed)[list=A]ExportsImportsBusinessesNames Show Thorast Kax (the old city) Terrapin Falls (the new city)Maps and Other ImagesCity Map Show Read here for full descriptionCliff Face Show Floor plan of Redoubt Show Read here for full description

In the medieval and fantastic realm of Tortall, Keladry of Mindelan is the first girl to take advantage of the decree that permits females to train for knighthood.
Tamora Pierce is a bestselling author of fantasy books for teenagers. Her books, known for their teenaged girl warriors and wizards, have received critical acclaim and a strong fanbase.
Tamora Pierce was drawn to books from a young age. Raised in rural Pennsylvania, the child of a "long, proud line of hillbillies," her family never had much. "We were poor, but I didn't know it then. We had a garden where my folks grew fruit and vegetables and our water came from a well," she explains. But one thing they did have was plenty of books. So Tamora read.
A self-proclaimed "geek," she devoured fantasy and science fiction novels, and by the age of 12 was mimicking her literary idols and writing her own action-packed stories. It was thanks to her father that Tamora began writing. "He heard me telling myself stories as I did dishes, and he suggested that I try to write some of them down," Pierce says.
But Tamora's novels had one major difference: unlike the books she was reading, her stories featured teenaged girl warriors. "I couldn't understand this lapse of attention on the part of the writers I loved, so until I could talk them into correcting this small problem, I wrote about those girls, the fearless, bold, athletic creatures that I was not, but wanted so badly to be."
Seventeen years later, after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, a brief career in teen social work and some time spent writing for radio, Tamora Pierce held true to her childhood crusade, and published Alanna: The First Adventure, the first in a quartet about a valiant, young, female warrior. Pierce's heroine struck a chord with readers across the country and quickly earned her a loyal following.
Pierce is now a #1 New York Times bestselling author and has written twenty-five books, including her newest, BEKA COOPER #2: Bloodhound. "It's a pretty good life, if I do say so myself. Struggling along as a kid and even through my twenties, it's the kind of life I dreamed of but never believed I would get. Yet here I am, after a lot of work, a lot of worry, a lot of care for details, and a massive chunk of luck, the kind that brought me such strong friends and readers. Pretty good for a hillbilly, yes? And I never take it for granted," she says.
Pierce lives in upstate New York with her husband Tim and their three cats and two birds.
