Category: Fantasy Description: Tarma and Kethry had managed to get stranded in a place where they couldn't find a new job. When their only way out was into the magic-infested chaos of the Pelagir Hills, Tarma was worried, but then Kethry's enchanted sword Need led them to their new employer, and things got truly strange. eBook Publisher: Marion Zimmer Bradley Literary Works Trust, 2001 Crossroads Wildside Press eBook Store Release Date: August 2010

Tarma's stomach growled, and she tried to appease it with a long drink of water. It wasn't fooled, and growled again. The problem with being a low-level mercenary pair without an impressive reputation was that sometimes you wound up at the end of a job in a place where your talents weren't needed. And when that place was as law-plagued as this one...
They'd escorted a very nice old lady to the timid niece who was going to take care of her in her old age. An exceptionally low-paying job, but one that Kethry's sword Need had insisted that they take. Appropriately, as it had turned out, since the poor old woman evidently bore a striking resemblance to a very wealthy old woman in the same town, and kidnappers had decided erroneously that they were one and the same.
Still, it hadn't done much to fatten their purses; it had led them here, the Duchy of Silverthorn, possibly the most law-abiding part of the world that Tarma had ever seen, and no one wanted them. Worse, everything was horribly expensive because of the taxes on everything that paid the salaries of the lawkeepers and constables. Worse still, there were more than enough lawkeepers and constables keeping a jaundiced eye on strangers that when their money ran out and they had to leave their inn, it was obvious that it was going to be difficult, if not impossible, to acquire food for themselves by underhanded means without getting caught.
So the only way to handle the situation was to saddle up and move out, ignoring hunger pangs for the two or three days it was going to take them to get out of the Duchy. Normally it would only take a day at most, but--
But traffic was held by law to a snail's pace here. And constables enforced that as well.
The only members of the party that were happy were the warsteeds and Warrl. The 'steeds, because not only was grazing the road-verge permitted, it was encouraged. So they were getting enough to content them. And Warrl, because he was resorting to the usual food-source of wolves and things that looked like wolves in the summer.
Mice and rats.
And that, too, was encouraged. Once constables saw him pouncing and gulping in the ditches, they were perfectly happy to leave him alone.
:You really ought to try these,: Warrl said happily in Tarma's head. :They're quite delicious. Fat, tender. I don't know why they have a rodent problem here, but I am certainly pleased that they do.:
Tarma's stomach growled again, suggesting that at this point, fricassee of rat was sounding good.
But Tarma's brain went into revolt. No matter that she had eaten worse things. This was not something her mind wanted to contemplate, surrounded as they were by civilization. There should be meat pies, stew, bread and cheese, her mind insisted. Pease porridge, bread, and onions at least. It was not going to put up with the idea of eating mice.
You've eaten voles, she reminded it.
Those were clean wilderness creatures, her mind said primly. Mice are not. You don't know where they've been.
Well, her mind had a point. And if they couldn't afford to eat, they most certainly could not afford to get sick.
:They taste just fine to me,: Warrl said gleefully, as he pounced, tossed, and gulped. Their current pace -- stalled, actually, while they waited for a big hay-laden cart to negotiate a difficult turn -- was so slow that Warrl was having no trouble in hunting for such small prey.
Urg, said her mind, and she resolutely turned her thoughts away from the idea. Properly speaking, Warrl should have been Kethry's familiar, not hers, Kethry was the sorceress. Kethry was the one who had cast the spell to summon a familiar. But Warrl was his own kyree and he had decided that Kethry, who already was bound to the spell-sword Need that gave her fighting powers equal to just about any swordswoman Tarma had ever seen, did not need a familiar. But Tarma evidently did.
So the two of them were bound to exceedingly useful but occasionally vexing partners. Kethry to a sword that forced her to come to the aid of any female in jeopardy, and Tarma to a calf-sized wolfish-looking beast with a penchant for sarcasm, a weakness for Bards, and a distinct and unique sense of humor.
Usually at his mind-mate's expense.
The hay-wain was still stalled in front of them. Now the driver was arguing with a constable. Her stomach growled. She resisted the urge to ride along the verge; the last time she'd done that, the constable had threatened to fine them. The only reason he hadn't was because Kethry turned out their purses, proving they had nothing, and pointed out that if they were jailed, they would be housed and fed at the expense of the Duchy.
Mind, that was beginning to look attractive--
Except that the warsteeds and everything they owned would be confiscated and sold.
No. Not a good option.
Tarma was all in favor of laws, but this place was ridiculous.
Kethry couldn't even earn some money by performing minor sorceries, because she wasn't licensed as a magician in this Duchy. Which license, of course, cost money.
Kethry was looking around with impatience. The other side of the road -- reserved for traffic going the other direction -- was absolutely clear.
Well, of course it was. The hay wagon was blocking it.
"Is there any reason why we have to go in this direction?" she asked Tarma.
"Well, no, but--" Tarma didn't get to finish that statement. Kethry nudged Hellsbane with her heels, turned the warsteed's head, and set off down the clear and open side of the road.
:It's all the same to me,: Warrl said philosophically. :There are just as many mice in that ditch.:
Tarma had no idea where they were, and she didn't much want to stop long enough to find out. As long as they got out of the Duchy, that was all she cared about.
:We're heading for the Pelagirs,: Warrl remarked philosophically.
Oh, bloody hell-- "Keth. Warrl says we're--"
"Headed for the Pelagirs, yes I know." The Pelagir Hills were as chaotic and magic-infested as the Duchy of Silverthorn was law-abiding. "That's probably the reason why these people are so law-obsessed. It's their way of dealing with the insanity on their doorstep." Kethry, who was usually far more cautious about venturing into the Pelagirs than Tarma was, seemed entirely cavalier about this idea.
"But why--"
Kethry turned in her saddle and looked back at her partner. "Because if I'd had to look for another candlemark at the back of that hay-wagon I was going to kill someone. Because the longer we stay in this place, the more likely we are to do something that gets us thrown in jail. Because my stomach is growling. And because I'm getting a faint twinge from Need that is sending my head in this direction."

Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping
[ 2/10 ]
Start with the good: it has nice playgrounds, clean sites and a beautiful view from the lake. Then the rest of the story. This is a racket out to make money: push button showers w/o hot-cold control, beach too shallow to swim in and rocky, fire rings are the size of a pie tin, pool was over crowded as were the streets and sites, office staff was not friendly or accommodating in the least. Don't plan on using the Wi-Fi even though you have to pay for it, worse than dial up. We only stayed for 2 nights and were so thankful that our diving in the Straights made up for the bad camp experience. Changing our August plans to a different campground in the area.

Nice lots, nice beach area (clean water and mostly sandy), great playground. Showers were being re-modeled while we were there but they seemed nice. Bathrooms were OK except for the wet slippery floor. Kid curfew is enforced. Waterslide was great but had to pay extra for it beyond 2 trial runs so it didn't see much use. Reasonable rental rates for paddle boats which we enjoyed. Nice place, would go back.

No there is not. We never require donations, and since they are voluntary we have no minimum request. We merely suggest that as a volunteer organization, we do appreciate a donation to charity in exchange for our time.
There are many events where the event itself is the charity work (a Hospital Visit, a Coats for Kids drive - etc.)

The fallen Miss Teen Delaware USA has this week:
Lost her crown.
Had a porn video hit the web.
Had her reputation tarnished all over the web.
There is that silver lining... $250,000 from a porn website. Might not be a bad idea right about now.
What a week. Hopefully things look up for her!

Microsoft promises to fix Skype
Not happy with Skype? Microsoft has some improvements in the works.
In an interview with The Verge, Skype product manager Jeff Kunins said that Microsoft is now testing several updates to the VoIP service that will sync your unread and read messages across multiple devices. But notifications will pop up only on the active device, as demoed in updated versions of the Skype Windows Phone and Windows desktop apps.
Skype also has trouble syncing incoming calls, which means that multiple devices keep ringing even after one of them has already answered. A fix for that is in the works, Kunins … Read more

Let's say I have a normal topaz and I drop it into an item. I then find two more normal topazes (topazei?) and I want to combine them. Can I then remove the gem from that item, and if so how will it effect the gem and the item in question?

Yes, this is one of the Jewler's abilities. It does cost gold, however, with more gold the higher the level of gem involved. If you're not interested in getting the item back, you can salvage an item for the same result. |

I purchased a 10kg weighted vest around 5 weeks ago and when I got it I was pretty happy with it. It felt good when wearing it and seemed to be of good quality.
That evening though one of the straps on the vest tore and after messaging RDX they admitted it was a manufacturing fault and they would replace the product.
This is where my view of this company has gone down.
I was told that their collection company, Yodel, would come to pick it up and since then I have organised and re-organised 8 times to pick it up and replace my product.
So I have paid £40 or so for a product I have word once and have had for well over a month. The product is due for collection, again, today.
I will say though that when I have contacted RDX, they have said that Yodel have it on their system that they already have the product, so maybe it is not entirely RDXs' fault. However if they had taken the product back no.1 I wouldn't be on the phone making an inquiry about it & no.2 I'd have expected it back by now.
I'd have given the product 8.5-9/10 but customer service at 3/10

Ten thousand square feet is plenty of space for dogs to run, play, and relax. At Bark Park, dogs play both indoors and outdoors, romping onto play structures, catching balls between their teeth, and discussing alternate endings for Homeward Bound as they sunbathe on the grass. The staff supervises its canine charges 24 hours a day, even during overnight stays, and owners can take advantage of other services such as grooming and training sessions.
Fluff and Puff Dog Wash mirrors a human spa in that it strives to pamper, not merely clean, its clients. Groomers consult with owners before they brandish scissors, designing custom haircuts for each animal. Staff members also double as cleanup crews at self-service tubs. After owners bathe their dogs with specialized shampoos for puppies, parasite prevention, and dogs with dry skin, the cleaners sop up residual grime. When owners are too busy to clean their own pups, these crews intervene with pickup and drop-off services. During daycare visits, supervisors stand by as dogs cavort through an indoor playground, rescue children from local wells, or recline on couches in front of dog-oriented movies.
Adam and Marisa Beck love their pets almost as much as each other. First meeting as teachers, the couple decided early on that they'd follow their dreams and open a pet facility that educates pooches as they play and mingle under the watchful gaze of an experienced staff. In addition to grooming services, Barkley Square also boards cats and dogs overnight, protecting the health of each pup in their care by requiring tests for DH2PP, giardia, and bordetella. Every overnight stay comes with a full day of play, where dogs can learn the basics of social interaction, such as not pushing other dogs off the monkey bars.
There are many businesses that cater to pets, but Redwood Animal Hospital strives to be the only one animals need. Veterinarians Joelle Abrams and Timberly Johnson and their doting staff members—including Isaac the dog, who greets clients up front, and Alex the cat, who roams the clinic freely and helps distract patients during procedures—perform the preventative, surgical, and dental services that owners expect from an animal hospital, then they go a few steps further. The onsite boarding facility lends a private space to dogs and cats when their owners are away, and groomer Cheri shampoos, brushes, and trims fur to bestow clients with fresher-smelling pets. For owners with limited mobility or dogs who don't want to run into their ex-wives, the medical specialists even make house calls.
Brittany of Dog Fit Unlimited professes a lifelong love of animals, which is what prompted her to begin her own dog-walking business. During each 60-minute walk, she and her canine charge explore neighborhood parks and hiking trails and take in the sights while the pooch meets other dogs and sniffs the grass for lost jewelry. She fortifies each pup with slurps of water and treats and takes photos so owners can check out their pooches' big smiles.

ST. JOHNSBURY A Vermont man charged along with his wife in the killing of a popular St. Johnsbury teacher isnt getting a new lawyer at the moment.
A judge initially dismissed Allen and Patricia Prues requests for new attorneys in May. Allen made a second request.
Prue and defense lawyer Dan Maguire said Thursday that Prue no longer communicates with Maguire, and that Maguire could be called as a witness against Patricia Prue.
The Prues have been charged with luring Melissa Jenkins out of her home last year and killing her before dumping her body in the Connecticut River. Both have pleaded not guilty, Allen Prue to first-degree murder; Patricia Prue to aggravated murder.
I just dont think Mr. Maguire can ethically do his duty anymore, Allen Prue said. I dont see any way of going around this. I just completely refuse to talk to counsel anymore.
Maguire said he agrees with Prue that he should withdraw, The Caledonian Record reported.
Its not something I take lightly, he said.
The judge said Thursday that she wants more information and another hearing first. Judge Mary Miles Teachout said Allen Prues unwillingness to communicate with Maguire is not evidence enough that their attorney-client relationship had broken down to the point that a proper defense could not be offered. She also said she wasnt sure there was a conflict of interest in Maguires possible role as a witness against Patricia Prue.
It does not call into question Mr. Maguires ability to mount a defense. I dont see a conflict, she said.MORE IN Vermont NewsA NY Consultant Has Been Hired to Help City With Zoning Re-Write Full StoryMONTPELIER — A Senate panel will review state laws surrounding the protection of children...

Good lord, I can't believe I'm about to try and raise OSU's spirits, but calm down. Wisconsin played the best game of the year by most accounts. Just cause you aren't top ten doesnt mean you aren't good. You'll kick Minnesota to the curb, you have the athletes to match and Tubbys a poor coach. Good luck, we'll need everyone to step their game up come tourney time, even the lower half teams like Iowa, Minnesota, and OSU.
If God dwells inside us, like some people say, I sure hope He likes enchiladas, because that's what He's getting

Paiyouji tea is one of the many herbal weight loss teas to hit the market recently. Makers of the tea claim that it controls blood glucose levels and suppresses the appetite to facilitate weight loss. There are several ingredients in Paiyouji tea that claim to offer different fat loss related benefits. The active ingredients in Paiyouji tea include chitosan, oligosaccharides and konjaku flour. Since Paiyouji tea has not been approved by the FDA as a weight loss supplement, the ingredients should be examined carefully before deciding to use it for those purposes. Paiyouji tea also lacks an official website, and testimonials that seem credible are nowhere to be found.
Let's take a closer look at what Paiyouji tea contains and examine the ingredients individually.
- Glucomannan
The konjaku flour found in Paiyouji tea contains a fiber called glucomannan that is reported to absorb several times its weight in water. According to a study published in the International Journal of Obesity conducted by D.E Walsh et al, glucomannan can help dieters lose weight. Dr. Ray Sahelian, however, warns that glucomannan does have some uncomfortable side effects including excessive flatulence and abdominal pain. Glucomannan can also prevent the absorption of nutrients and other medicines or supplements.
The oligosaccharide in this Paiyouji tea can compound the gastrointestinal side effects, as they act as a soluble fiber. Common side effects of oligosaccharides include a strong laxative effect and excess gas production in the colon. Oligosaccharides act as soluble fiber. Using products with oligosaccharide can increase production of gases in your colon. This substance also causes a laxative effect.
- Chitin
The chitin in Paiyouji tea is actually chitosan. Chitosan is a polysaccharide extracted from crustacean shells that reportedly absorbs fats and oils similarly to how glucomannan absorbs water. The story is that chitosan pulls dietary fats into a ball that the body cannot digest, causing it to pass in the stool undigested. There is some evidence to support these claims, although no conclusive research can be found to links chitosan to effective weight loss. Like glucomannan, chitosan can also prevent the absorption of necessary nutrients including fat soluble vitamins.
- Vitamin C
Vitamin C has many health benefits. It facilitates healing, s vital to collagen production, supports healthy immune function, and improves the health of the teeth and gums. As far as having any effect on weight loss, the doses required would lead to unpleasant side effects. Excessive vitamin C doses can lead to migraines, nausea, kidney stones and dizziness.
Although the marketing behind Paiyouji tea makes numerous claims of its effectiveness for weight loss, data to back up these claims just doesn't exist. Paiyouji is not really like green tea or other Chinese herbal teas like Oolong tea that have numerous studies confirming their effectiveness. In fact, it's not really an herbal tea, but a collection of ingredients put into a tea bag. Semantics, you might say, but calling it a tea implies that it is made from tea leaves and may have polythenols which have proven benefits, which Paiyouji tea does not.
There is a long list of proven fat loss ingredients out there, but unfortunately Paiyouji tea doesn't contain any of them. It is basically a fiber supplement with a bit of vitamin C thrown in. It has no impact on metabolic rate or fat mobilizations, and claims that it absorbs calories in the stomach preventing them from being digested are only loosely corroborated by any real research. Paiyouji also lacks and of the cleansing and antioxidant properties of teas like Oolong tea and Pu-erh tea.
Paiyouji tea may not be all it's cracked up to be, but if you came to this article looking for a real weight loss tea with proven ingredients and hundreds of glowing testimonials, I'm not going to send you away empty handed. This tea does exist; it's called Tava Tea. It is a blend of green sencha, oolong and pu-erh teas, all of which have been shown to facilitate increased metabolic rate, more efficient digestion, blood cleansing, and improved liver function.
Research also suggests that these teas can prevent cancer, improve eyesight and remove LDL cholesterol (the bad stuff) from the blood. You can choose Tava tea and get all of these benefits in one product, or you could choose Paiyouji tea and have serious gas. I'd hardly call that a tough decision.
There are some great products out there like Tava Tea that have proven weight loss benefits and user testimonials to back them up. Unfortunately, unscrupulous companies try to cash in on current trends my using hype marketing to promote inferior products that only help you lose weight from your wallet. The fact that you did some research on Paiyouji tea before pulling out your credit card puts you ahead of the pack.
To learn more about the benefits of Tava Tea and learn what separates it from pack, visit their official website here.

The Towanda Drug Store, 1923-1940 When the new Sachs building was erected after the Roadhouse fire, the rooms were occupied by the Post Office on the west end, a pool room, a grocery store run by the Fosters and later the Tylers, and a drug store next to the bank. Ratliff eventually bought the building. The Drug Store was operated by Mr. Edward E. Gabriel, a pharmacist from Chicago. He was the brother of Charles E. Gabriel, the noted hymn writer. He had a beautiful little store with new show cases and furnishings and a soda fountain. In 1923 it became necessary for him to retire and sell his drug store because of a heart condition and doctor's orders. Lewis Michael decided he wanted to buy and operate the little place of business so we bought it from Mr. Gabriel. I didn't see how in the world I could be expected to help in the store with the responsibility of 6 children, but eventually it became necessary for me to do so. My Father, G.W. Peterson, volunteered to watch the children and I hired 2 dependable girls, Fern and May Moser, to do most of the cooking and housework, alternatively. When one wanted a day off, the other would substitute. They were equally efficient and the children loved them both. At home I did all the washing (on board) and ironing, mending, and sewing; and as the drug store was near our home, I usually knew where the children were and what they were doing when I was at the store. I also kept the telephone busy. Mr. Gabriel stayed on a week to train me and taught me everything I needed to know about the drug store. I got along beautifully. The Grand Opening was Easter week, and for the occasion the window decorations were made of hand painted tulips and leaves cut out and bunnies and eggs, etc., which I made. Louise Cass was clerk. Also, later, Earlene Peden. The candy, tobacco, and stationery and school supply cases were beautiful bevel-edged, glass counters. There were 2 wire legged tables and 8 chairs to match with covers of green and white striped canvas, and a small set like them for little folks. There were large ceiling kerosene and gas lamps which we shined and refilled every day. The prescription counter served as a partition across the back of the room and the back of it was one huge bevel-edged, beautiful mirror which at first glance seemed to enlarge the drug store as one entered the front door. As we were not pharmacists, the doctor in town, Dr. Paul A. Humphrey, came in and filled his own prescriptions. Back of the prescription department, the walls were lined with shelves holding dozens of prescription jars of drugs, many of them leftovers from the former G.W. Howard & William Macy Drug Stores. The east wall was solid shelves and drawers, which held commercial drug remedies and assorted supplies, pills, tablets, etc. The soda fountain was on the west side of the room. In those days there was no electricity in Towanda and the fountain was hand operated, meaning that every so often we had to charge it by hand (about once a week). To do so we took the soda tank into the back room, placed it on a wooden rocker, attached it to a tank of gas, and then it had to be rocked 30 minutes continually to keep in motion, then taken back to the fountain for use. There were many porcelain 1/2 gallon and quart containers on the fountains to hold the different flavors which we mixed ourselves. We bought concentrated fruit flavors by the quart, which we mixed with simple syrup as needed. The syrup I made by bringing to a boil equal parts of sugar and I drove the car to Bloomington and Normal every other day for provisions. Hildebrant in Normal supplied us with patent medicines and many other things. Candy, cigars, cigarettes, chewing gum, etc., fountain supplies from the wholesale grocery in Bloomington. Stationery, school supplies, and pens came from W.B. Read Wholesale Company. Ice from an ice supply house in Bloomington. One cold day in January the car was not available and I had to have some drugs for the doctor's prescriptions from Normal. I got a ride down with somebody but had no way back, so I walked against a strong, cold, northeast wind with an armload of heavy bottles, drugs, etc. I got to the Huling crossing 1-1/2 miles from Towanda and met 3 high school boys in their car going to a matinee. They saw me, turned around, picked me up, and brought me back to Towanda, for which I was forever grateful! They were Billie Peden, Swede Hedrick, and Murray Livingston, pals of my son, Bob. When I mentioned the incident 40 years later, Peden did not even remember about it--but I did! There was an ice container in the fountain which had to be kept filled, and to get ice we had to haul it in the car every day from Bloomington. It took 200 pounds to load our large ice box in the back room where we kept all the bottles of pop which we sold. The ice was loaded into the 3x8 foot ice box by a pulley fastened in the ceiling. We concocted many combinations of ice cream and fruit dishes which we specialized in; and we had many customers from other towns who drove out on hot evenings just for the drive and a nice cool soda or something from the fountain. It was a busy place. Preparing for the Towanda 4th of July Celebration took several days of planning and labor to have everything ready for the big day. Once on the 3rd of July eve, after an extra hard day's preparation, my clerk, Etta Moberly, and I scrubbed the floor after closing hours, and we had one more big job to do. It was almost midnight when we went to the store room to charge the fountain tank and both of us were exhausted. But we decided it would be better to do it that night than to wait before opening time at 6:00 next morning. We took turns rocking, each of us resting between turns and thinking it was a long 30 minutes. Finally, when the timer sounded and we were ready to disconnect the tank, we discovered to our dismay that we had forgotten to attach it to the gas tank! All 30 minutes of rocking for nothing! As tired as we both were, we just sat down and giggled and giggled and laughed until we cried! Years later whenever we recalled that night, we still thought it funny. I went up at 4:30 next morning and charged the tank before opening hour and we were ready for a tremendous day! Lewis did not like the work, so after the first year he built an oil station and lunch room over on old 66. He wanted me to go over there and fry hamburgers, and I said "No!" In 1926, the law came up that a pharmacist had to be present at all times. We could not afford a pharmacist, so we sold the store to Edward C. Biasi of Bloomington who engaged Harlan Jenkins, a pharmacist from Pontiac, to operate the store for him. I didn't want to sell the drug store, but had no choice. I continued to work for Mr. Biasi and took a leave of absence for a few weeks, until my baby Rose arrived, and later went back to work. Also in 1926, electricity was brought into Towanda so he installed lights and a new fountain. Not many years later, Harlan Jenkins bought the store from Mr. Biasi and I worked for him, part time hours, for 11 years (all told, 17 years). When Harlan sold out and went to California, the Drug Store was changed into a restaurant and lunch room. George and Esther owned and operated that for some time; and when they sold, they went to Ottawa. And the Drug Store era was ended.

Officials "Confident" Remains Are Those of Missing CousinsKCRG/Gazette/Courier Staff ReportsThe Search for Lyric & Elizabeth
EVANSDALE, Iowa — Black Hawk County Sheriff's Capt. Rick Abben Thursday said police are confident the two bodies found in Seven Bridges wildlife area in Bremer County Wednesday are the missing cousins.
In a short press conference Thursday afternoon, Abben said they still cannot officially say the bodies are the girls until the state medical examiner's office completes its investigation. But he added that there seems little doubt. "We had no other missing people" and the bodies found were small in stature, Abben said. Elizabeth was 8 and Lyric was 10 when they disappeared near Meyers Lake in Evansdale.. There has been no sign of the girls for months, and officials ruled their disappearance a kidnapping. Hunters found two bodies in the wildlife area Wednesday afternoon. Meanwhile, investigators spent the entire day Thursday combing the 125-acre Seven Bridges Park, a county-owned wildlife area between Readlyn and Dunkerton. They also walked the ditches along 270th Street, the road leading to the park. Abben said they investigation into the area where the bodies were found could take days. Abben asked the public to help them in their investigation by calling in any tips they may have as to the case. The reward of $150,000 remains in effect. "It's definitely not the outcome that we wanted, obviously," Black Hawk County sheriff's Capt. Rick Abben said appearing to fight back tears during the Wednesday afternoon press conference in Evansdale, where the girls were being watched by their grandmother when they disappeared. "This is a difficult thing for us to go through. It's a difficult thing for the community." WATCH: Thursday's Press Conference In a post on her Facebook page late Wednesday, Heather Collins, Elizabeth's mother, wrote that the outcome saddened her but that now "we know our girls are dancing up with our savior." Abben said the families had requested privacy. Craig Ceilly, who has acted as the Collins family's media liaison in the past, has not yet returned messages left with him. Jennifer Lancaster, chief law enforcement official for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources in northeastern Iowa, said she believed it was deer hunters who stumbled upon the bodies and reported them immediately. DNR conservation officers were helping in the recovery effort, Lancaster said. Authorities had asked hunters to look out for the girls deer hunting season, which opened last weekend. About 70 people attended a Wednesday night prayer vigil at Meyers Lake, where investigators had found the girls' bicycles and a pink purse hours after they went missing. Some were holding out hope that the bodies weren't those of the missing cousins. Others seemed resigned to accept news. "I don't want to think the worst, but two bodies. It's just really heartbreaking," said Amanda Mulzac, who lives in nearby Waterloo and was among hundreds of volunteers who helped in the initial search. "At their age I was out by myself, but now it's different. Hold your babies close." After the girls disappeared, hundreds of volunteers helped investigators to search in the cornfields and wooded areas in and around Evansdale, a city of 8,000 residents. The mayor used his private plane for an aerial search. After an FBI dive team using specialized equipment to search the bottom of the lake for the girls found nothing, police classified the case as an abduction. Investigators have largely been tight-lipped in the months since. An FBI spokeswoman initially said investigators had reason to believe the girls were alive, but other investigators backtracked, saying only that there was no reason to believe the girls were dead. In the just less than six months since the girls disappeared, Investigators have pursued thousands of tips and chased multiple theories in the case. They looked into Cook's parents, who had criminal records for prior involvement in producing methamphetamine. Cook's father, Daniel Morrissey, is being prosecuted for domestic assault and a series of drug charges. He backed out of a plea agreement with prosecutors the day before the disappearance. They have denied any involvement. The region rallied around finding the girls, wearing T-shirts and buttons, hanging fliers at gas stations and in business windows and continuing to hold vigils. Last week an anonymous donor pledged $100,000, in addition to the $50,000 that police had offered, for information about the girls' whereabouts. After Wednesday night's vigil, family friend Sarah Curl said it was a tight-knit, caring community. "When something happens to one family it happens to all of our families," Curl said. "This could have happened to anyone." Most Popular |

My problem with the adverts at the moment?
Large images warning I guess I should be grateful that it's an ad for Star Trek and not ladies underwear (true story), but that's an awful lot of screen space wasted on what is essentially one advert... Let's compare that with my other favourite tech site: Look, I don't mind ads - I've used them to support my own sites in the past - but the current front page is bordering on intrusive (compared to theregister, it is intrusive) Only on my desktop will I lower the adblock shields for bit-tech; all other devices I use are lower-powered machines (or crappy work machines which they're too stingy to upgrade), and the current front page slows them to a crawl... When I'm at work, the website that my eyeballs spend the majority of their time fixated on - ahem, when I'm on lunch, of course - isn't bit-tech. I'm extremely glad that the forums have so far escaped relatively untouched.

Not to nit-pick but
Site take overs are a popular way of re-branding a site to push your message. Lots of sites do them, and we try and keep ours relevant (Warfighter, Star Trek, Movie based on video games, etc). |

This. If you've got a big problem with it, use adblocker. And I believe BT still get paid. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Not that straightforward, sadly. The more people who use adblocker, the less effective ads are, the less likely people are to book. I'm not trying to reopen the whole debate again - it's been quite a year for that - just answering your specific point!

Jeezuz! I just got one of those popup ads that load a new popup when you close it. Is this 1998? Bit is starting to resemble a porn site.
...not that I've ever seen one of those.

The issue that I have is that I only view bit as a forum and therefore I don't care about supporting the dying (if not already dead) review side.
I would be happy with a few adds to support the forum but I won't put up with the insane amount of adverts that it takes to prop up the review and news side of the site. Sent from my RM-821_eu_euro1_342 using Board Express |

ads are killing site for me. They are a total ballache, with them being all over, poping up in different tabs, ones that appear over pictures blocking them and so on. They are only such a nuisance at work, as I can't run firefox with adblock plus like I do at home.
The ads on this site are out of control.

We've lost a lot of the more amusing and astute regulars over the past year, it's a shame but I think it's partially down to people growing out of the scene and partially because Bit seems to have lost its way. Other sites do hardware better (certainly more promptly), and a lot of the crowd here seem to be more into hardware/gaming rather than modding - which this site still does better than most.
Most of the hardcore modders rarely venture out of the project log section, an there are still a number of member here who linger exclusively in the marketplace, which I have said before is against the spirit of the community in my opinion.

I know this thread has pretty much reached the point where it's sounds like the same complaint voiced over and over, but I thought I'd leave another bit of feedback. Every time I load the Bit-tech front page I get an ad that overtakes the screen, blocking all content. I then get another pop-up when I close the first ad.
Sorry, but I've changed all my shortcuts to point directly to the forums now, bypassing the main page. I just don't appreciate full-page ads producing secondary pop-up ads.
But of bliss and of glad life there is little to be said, before it ends; as works fair and wonderful, while still they endure for eyes to see, are their own record, and only when they are in peril or broken for ever do they pass into song. -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion |

I haven't frequented this forum in awhile, come back to a full page advert that covers the enter website for some university I don't give two $%@#$ about, a popup ad, and an ad covering one inch of the screen at the bottom of my screen. WTF. I only get this bombarded when I visit the shadier of sites on the web, not a website I actually care about. C'mon Bit-tech, this is ridiculous!

Basic Information About Ovarian Cancer
Women have two ovaries that are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus. The ovaries make female hormones and produce eggs. When cancer starts in either ovary, it is called ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. But when ovarian cancer is found in its early stages, treatment is most effective. Fallopian tube cancer (which starts in the fallopian tube) and primary peritoneal cancer (which starts in the lining that supports the abdomen) are very similar to ovarian cancer. Many of the signs and symptoms are the same, and doctors treat these cancers in the same way.

Senior UX Designer at Manilla in San Francisco, CA
Are you a genuinely gifted designer with a head for business? Can you envision interfaces that are friendlier, simpler, more fun? If you answered "yes", we'd like to meet you. We're a small creative group looking for someone who's passionate about conceiving and building user experiences that will help a successful business reach even greater heights.
About our Start-Up
- We are building an Internet service that helps consumers get organized and simplify their lives, enables businesses to reduce millions in cost each year, and is great for our environment!
- Our business concept has been tested through prototypes, focus groups, and usability testing – the people and companies we've talked to are excited about this new service!
- We are well-funded by a large private corporation – the board and executive team are 200% committed and the funding provided demonstrates their backing.
- You have exceptional visual skills and a gifted eye for detail, form and story. You're passionate about creating fun, easy-to-understand interfaces.
- You keep up on the latest developments and insights.
- You can bring projects from concept to realization—doing everything possible to ensure their success. In short, you're an accomplished designer who's ready to help Manilla grow in all our consumer and business areas.
- You're also smart, confident—and mature enough not to have an ego. You're a skilled communicator who welcomes honest, candid feedback. You can articulate the value of your design to product managers and engineers as easily as you can talk typography and whitespace with other designers. And you can clearly point to how business objectives are met via great user experiences.
- You think of data and extensive testing as allies in creating the best possible experience. Expect to engage in an ongoing healthy debate about data vs. design.
- Day to day, this is a fast-changing environment where you have to produce high-quality work, quickly. You should have the adaptability and perseverance to produce multiple rounds of designs in pursuit of the most user-friendly solution. That said, we think creativity comes from happy, fearless and energetic people—so we're serious about a healthy life-work balance and a comfortable, casual environment.
- We hire senior people who are expected to "think" AND "do". This is a very hands-on, roll-your-sleeves-up-and-get-dirty kind of place where the things you discover and create have widespread impact. Expect to learn and grow on a daily basis.
- 5+ years design on interactive experiences
- A world-class portfolio
- Expert abilities with the Adobe Creative Suite

Tonsillitis CausesWhether viral or bacterial, tonsillitis is transmitted most commonly from one person to another by social contact such as droplets in the air from sneezing. Most of the time, tonsillitis is caused by a viral infection. Bacterial tonsillitis can be caused by Streptococcus pyogenes,the organism that causes strep throat. If left untreated, strep throat may lead to a more serious condition called rheumatic fever, which can affect the heart several years later.
