Man claims Bigfoot damaged Winnebago in Lykens
Bigfoot has been spotted in northern Dauphin County, that is according to a Lykens resident who claims the creature damaged his RV. State police were called to the 400 block of Division Street in Lykens for a report of criminal mischief.
John Reed, of Lykens, told investigators that Bigfoot smashed out the taillights and windows of his 1973 Winnebago. When he spotted the Bigfoot, Reed turned on the outside lights and the beast began throwing rocks to avoid being discovered, state police said.
Reed told troopers that prior to this incident he spotted a similar looking creature prowling around his RV, according to state police reports.
State police said in a news release that the suspect walked somewhat hunched over, was very large and brown in color.
Reed was unable to describe whether the suspect was hairy.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

This is a map my niece made, and I am posting it on her behalf. It was something she had wanted to enter into the Cloud Map contest, but the deadline passed.
Attachment 48094
How nice, its still visible how the clouds look like. I like that the Castle is not in the center of the map, making the eye looking around. How old is your niece?
She's 8. I had to help with some of the technical things with working the program, but the rest is all her.
The next generation of cartographers is comming!
As Schwarzkreuz, I like the way the original cloud is still partially visible in this map... it adds something very artistic and mysterious to the whole. The composition of regions and objects is also very good.
Tell her: good work... she is building her reputation here early!
How sweet, I was in the same age, doing my first bigger map on the package of the new furniture of my parents. The sheet of cardboard was so big in my memory, so big that it could holds the wonder of infinity worlds. Its cool you helping her in this creative output!
Yes, its a phrase I realy try to fit into my passions of map making, its nice to see younger people trying things out. I also think this community is a great palce to devellop.
I like it. It's simple and a lot of stamp-work, but appropriate to a beginner. The composition is good, and I really love that it is very suggestive of possible stories: this would be a fine map to be handed and told to write a story or design an RPG campaign for it. About the only thing I would suggest as an improvement is labels for the bodies of water, if only to give the expanses of sea a little more interest.


text: Ecclestone hopes every race will be like a wet race 11 March, 2014 Bernie Ecclestone Bernie Ecclestone is looking forward to an unpredictable 2014 season when new engines threaten to overturn the established order, the Formula One boss said on Monday. Ecclestone, 83, said he would be able to keep on top of running the sport despite going on trial for bribery in Germany next month. He also added he did not think that CVC, the largest shareholder in Formula One with a 35 percent stake, planned to sell its holding. "I hope every race is going to be like a wet race," Ecclestone told Reuters in a telephone interview when asked about prospects for the new season which opens in Melbourne on Sunday. "Unpredictable is the word." Formula One is facing the biggest technical change for years following the introduction of a new turbocharged V6 engine with energy recovery systems. All eyes are on Red Bull and champion Sebastian Vettel to see if they can maintain their dominance after struggling in pre-season testing. Ecclestone's enthusiasm for the new season seems undiminished despite the court case that will take up some of his attention from late April and could run until September. "We will attend as and when we have to, a couple of days a week," he said of the trial, adding that such a schedule should not disrupt the business too much. "We'll be able to deal with that internally." Ecclestone could be jailed if convicted in a case linked to the sale of a stake in the business in 2005. CVC has also said it will fire him if he is found guilty of wrongdoing. Despite his age and legal problems, Ecclestone gave no indication he was preparing to step aside or was ready to hand over to a successor. "At the moment I'm quite fit. I wouldn't say that this was going to be one of my last seasons," he said. Media reports last month said U.S. groups Liberty Global and Discovery Communications had approached CVC about buying a major stake in Formula One but Ecclestone played down the talk. "They (CVC) don't want to sell out," he said. Ecclestone was in the Black Sea resort of Sochi at the weekend, the Winter Olympic venue which will stage a grand prix for the first time in October. "We're looking in great shape, they've done a good job," he said of preparations, suggesting the Russian race could be fitted into an earlier slot in the 2015 calendar to make more of an impact.

Subjective scoring in the English classes is not great. I'm not exactly the best poet or, a master of punctuation. I must maintain in a question that is based on your opinion should not be struck down simply because it looks stolen. I pity having to feel scammed when I put an original thought in a paper. Subjective grading based on feelings feels quite fraudulent I feel wronged. The faith is running quite thin. Please consider that this is a tier 2 school to the college and the military on par with the general education diploma though the cost difference does not display it as so. If you want a way out of public education and don't want your wallet floating away or your hourglass running empty do not consider this school. PS. The people seem quite friendly. I suppose the administration that you will never see is the problem. If a "grader" thinks you did poorly come and talk or leave a note don't be a coward and hide behind anonymity because it incites in me a desire.
My eldest daughter took social studies at Faith Academy and scored well on her state exam in that area.
I started Faith last fall as a senior. The teachers are all really nice and helpful. They all do everything they can to help you with what ever problems you may have. I have switched schools a lot and Faith is the best I have been to. I really recommend it.
It is one of the Best Schools focusing on Education Only!! The staff there are awesome and they are available whenever to answer any question needed! The Staff, Determination, The Willingness to Help Makes Faith Academy (Loganville) The best School!
My son is attending this school now. The curriculum is a joke for the classes he is taking. It is no wonder that some people have stated on here that they were failing in public school and are getting straight A's at Faith. My son is taking Junior History and actually had a question on his packet that asked who the first President of the United States was. Aren't kids taught this in the First Grade? He will be transferring back to public school next semester. The fact that this school is accredited is a joke. I am sure a hard working student can learn a lot and have a great educational experience, but students can also skate by doing very little work and still get A's and B's.
I switched from regular high school to Faith last year, and I love it! I couldn't be happier with everything. I was failing just about every class before, but since I've come to Faith, my grades are better than ever. If you're having trouble in school, I definitely recommend Faith. The teachers are awesome and will help you with anything. The environment is very friendly and positive. Overall, it's an incredible school.
Faith Academy provides an alternative to public, private and homeschooling that meets the unique needs of its students. This curriculum is NOT for the lazy - or for those looking for an 'easy A.' As in any other educational environment, students who care will excel- those that don't won't. I found the staff to be encouraging and supportive of my daughter's educational needs and goals as she finished her junior and senior years while raising a child. Faith allowed her to not only continue her education, but to have hope for the future as well.
I used to be a student at Faith Academy. When I was going to public schools, I was failing just about every class. But thanks to the caring teachers at Faith, I graduated 3rd in my class.
My son took Algebra 2 and Trig and a few other classes too. The Math teacher, David, is wonderful and the staff is so caring about each student. It was a great experience for my son and for me.

On Tuesday, with some fanfare, the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington rolled out a report, "Too Big to Fail: The Path to a Solution." Focused on how to "resolve" big financial companies — a technical term for the details of handling the failure of such institutions — the report is elegantly written and nicely laid out. You can either read the very short version, the short version or the long version of the same material. Unfortunately, in all three the authors fail to persuade that the problem of too-big-to-fail is fixed or can be brought under control if only we follow their recommendations.

As a result, the authors contend, we (or perhaps financial-sector executives) are in luck — no significant structural changes, like simplification or reductions in scale, are needed at megabanks.
All three parts of this argument are unconvincing — and the bottom-line policy implication, "do little, be happy," is downright dangerous.

I got my save the date magnets from Giftful Heart and my fiance and I love them!! They are a great quality and the customer service was excellent. Even though it was all online it still felt very personable. The magnets included envelopes at no extra cost and I only spent $125 for 84 magnets with envelopes & shipped! The picture quality on the magnets is great and I love how many customizing options I had! I picked an outline and basically changed everything else. It was great, very happy, great customer service and great product. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! The best part is everyone that has gotten one loves them as much as I do!
Wedding: 3/24/2012
When we took our engagement photos, we knew that we wanted to incorporate them into Save-the-Dates at some point. To us, a magnet was the perfect combination of fun, classy, and personalization that we were hoping for. I could not have been happier with the experience that we had working with Kathy and A Giftful Heart! They were any Bride's dream come true. They were prompt, attentive, helpful, affordable, and most of all, they produced an awesome product! Their quality of customer service is impeccable. The quality of our magnets was more than I ever expected, thick magnets (not flimsy at all), vibrant colors, and beautiful envelopes to send them out in. What more could you ask for when you're planning a wedding?
We were honored when they asked us if they could use our engagment pic for their sample on the design that we chose! Over a year later, our magnets are still up not only in our home, but in our family and friend's homes too. And, our pic is still on their website as the sample for the vineyard design that we chose.
We have consistently referred friends and family to this company, and will continue to do so as long as we know people who are getting married. Thank you, A Giftful Heart...we hope to use your company again in the future! Can we think, baby announcements someday? :-)
Wedding: 5/18/2013
I ordered my Save the Dates from this site and could not have had a better experience! Every time that I emailed with a question or concern I was promptly answered. My magnets arrived earlier than expected and looked just like the proof sent to me via email. My best friend has now ordered her Save the Date magnets from A Giftful Heart and is anxiously awaiting their arrival!
Wedding: 7/18/2015
I would absolutely order from A Giftful Heart again. The Save the Dates came out amazing, the quality is perfect and the fact that I was sent a proof and able to make changes was a great help. The service is incredible also. If you are looking for a great deal and beautiful Save the Dates I would def use A Giftful Heart! (I did my research with pricing out and best quality and this site was the best!!!)
Wedding: 2/21/2015
I searched forever to find a vendor for our Save the Dates. I came across A Giftful Heart on The Knot and loved the different options and personalization you could add to their Save the Date magnets. My fiancé and I found the ones we wanted, ordered them and sent in our photos. We worked with Kathy who was great about sending our proofs to us and tweaking our Save the Dates, as well as keeping us updated throughout the process. After we agreed on a layout, they were made and shipped.... We received them in no time at all and were extremely happy with the results! I would definitely recommended A Giftful Heart to any bride and groom looking for beautiful Save the Date magnets! Oh and they're a fantastic price too! :)
Wedding: 10/17/2015
I did a magnet for my save the dates and let me say the quaility is great! The website was so easy to use and to be able to personalize my save the dates makes them so much more meaning full! I can't wait to send them out!
Wedding: 5/16/2015
We ordered save the date magnets for our daughter's wedding, they are beautiful, exactly as we ordered, delivery was very prompt, can't wait to hear the rave reviews from family and friends when they receive them!
Thank you A Giftful Heart!
Can't wait to see the wedding invitation selections!
Wedding: 7/19/2015
We used A Giftful Heart for magnet save the dates. Kathy was very helpful and accommodating when creating a proof for us and for editing the proof to our liking. Being the picky bride I am, wanting everything to look perfect, I emailed her telling her exactly what we wanted & with any suggestions and she was so flexible and accepting of all my emails. The finished product came out perfect-just the way we wanted. The photo quality was very good and the color template was just as what it mentioned online. There were so surprises except for the Wow factor of the save the date magnets coming out just the way we hoped. From the font, to the colors, to the style and to the photo quality, we highly recommend A Giftful Heart for save the date magnets and other needs for a wedding. Thanks again Kathy for all your help!!! I also recommend getting the shimmer envelopes. They may be a few cents more but it really finishes the look!!
Wedding: 11/21/2014
The person that I was working with was more than helpful. She went above and beyond to make the picture I had work. I absolutely love the way the magnets turned out and wouldn't change a thing. I received lots of complements on them as well. Great product and fabulous customer service!
Wedding: 3/14/2015
WOW!!! My daughter and I saw these Save the Date Magnets on Pinterest and went to the site. It was user friendly, we uploaded our pics, we found 2 coupons to use, and were shocked at how reasonable 175 magnets of this size cost! A proof was emailed to us in just a few days, and it was perfect! The save the dates arrived soon after and were perfect and VERY HIGH QUALITY from a picture standpoint and a magnet thickness and print quality standpoint. HIGHLY recommend this company!!!

Wedding: 7/4/2015
A giftful heart was an awesome company to purchase save the date magnets from! The package arrived quickly and I am receiving so many compliments from my guests! The staff is also great because they really work with you and make sure you are happy with the purchase! I would recommend them to anyone looking for great products!
Wedding: 3/21/2015
I'm so in love with our save the date magnets! We went with the lace layout. They were extremely fast with the proof and once I approved I received them in a week along with a thank you note that was hand signed!
It's all about the little things!
I can't wait for our guests to receive them!
They were less expensive than other sites I looked at but offered layouts I haven't seen before. Definitely recommend them for any bride to be!
Wedding: 6/17/2006
I stumbled across Kathy's website while searching for "Save the Date" magnets. I did not know what I was in store for, I got on line and ran into slight technical difficulties, I emailed the comment help and Kathy responded immediately even calling me on the phone. What I later realized is that it was way after the time that she "closed". Kathy and I discussed via email and over the phone the design, and even when my bride decided to make a last minute change Kathy was all over it in a flash. The magnets arrived quickly too. I would use Kathy over and over again but I'm only have this wedding, lol. I highly recommend Giftful Heart for your wedding or any event where invitations or announcements are needed. Thank you Kathy your a class act in customer service
Wedding: 1/31/2015
I cannot say enough great things about my experience with A Giftful Heart. We purchased our save the date magnets from them and had a wonderful experience through each and every step. We were able to approve our proof before placing our order, everything arrived on time with tracking information sent via email and the product was amazing quality for a such a low cost that was under our budget. The colors were 100% true to what we thought they would be and the final product looked exactly like we hoped it would. We are SO happy we chose to go with this vendor. There are a million choices online and I researched a ton. I'm very thankful we settled with A Giftful Heart. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!
Wedding: 6/27/2015
I picked this website because they had a great magnet selection! I could choose and style the magnets the way I wanted it! From the colors of my wedding to the perfect font and picture!! From checkout to my door, arrival time was quick! I will definitely recommend this to all brides!! They were awesome! Communicated with me all the way!
Wedding: 4/25/2015
I'm so happy that I stumbled upon AGiftfulHeart.com in my search for a save the date magnet!! Everything about this company is wonderful! Super user-friendly website, fantastic array of designs, very fast turnaround for the proof, super fast shipping, great price, and most important...amazing finished product! I could not be happier with my Save The Date magnets! They are very high quality, and came out so much better than I ever expected. I will definitely be doing business with AGiftfulHeart.com again and again! I highly recommend this site to everyone!
Wedding: 5/24/2015
As any bride knows, we do not want extra stress on our plate while planning a wedding. Especially not from something that should be easy, like ordering Save The Dates.
I had a very difficult time with A Giftful Heart throughout the entire process. To begin with, every time I was sent a digital proof, something new was changed that I hadn't asked for. It took me over a month to actually get a digital proof that was satisfactory enough to mail out. Once I did receive it, they had put a color filter on without explaining why/giving me a heads up. When I reached out for an explanation, they said it was too dark without it, so I asked to see another sample. The other sample never arrived. I reached out again, and they finally sent another sample via priority mail, which I got the next day.
I finally placed my order on a Monday morning, and asked to make it Express in order to get it by Saturday. After about 5 weeks of back and forth, I really needed to get my Save The Dates in the mail. I was very happy when I got home on Friday and found them sitting at my front door, until I opened the package. 80% of the magnets were printed crooked and cut inaccurately. A few were cut so poorly that you could see the image from the next magnet already starting on the side. I even had to scrub a black substance off many of them. A handful of them were so bad that I threw them away, and consolidated which guests would receive them. I was so upset, but I did not want to deal with anyone at this company again, and I needed to send them out, so I sucked it up and mailed them.
I reached out to the company on Monday to let them know how unhappy I was. They responded very quickly with apologies and let me know they would find out what happened. Shortly after, I received a phone call. They had a number of excuses for the errors, including a sick employee, focusing on the color rather than the cutting, closing that segment of their production team, and my personal favorite, blaming me in so many words for asking them to rush my order. With all of these excuses about handling a rush job, and only being able to focus on one thing, then they never should have taken the job. No professional business would, and they would never make the customer try and feel bad about it.
She was, however, very willing to compensate me for the mistake, which I appreciated. We agreed on a 50% refund, and she said if I still did not feel satisfied after we hung up that I should feel free to contact her again, that she wanted me to feel better about the situation. I received my refund that evening, and was disappointed to see that they did not give me 50% off my entire order. I reached out to the same woman to get this adjusted, and she immediately referred me to a customer service rep to explain their return policy. So I guess everything she said on the phone about wanting me to be satisfied wasn't all that real.
Overall, the experience was exhausting, disappointing, and stressful. I can guarantee you I won't be using this company again.
Wedding: 10/24/2014
Kathy did an outstanding job on our save the date magnets. She was very patient when I wanted to change some things around and worked with me on everything I wanted. She listened to how I wanted the pictures laid out and did just what I requested. I am so thankful to Kathy and her team for their wonderful work. Can't wait to put them in the mail on Monday! Would definitely recommend!! Also shipping only took 2 days which was great since I was so excited to get them! Thank you all again!!!
Wedding: 6/14/2014
I googled possible save the date magnet companies for what felt like forever to find the perfect style. Finally I discovered A Giftful Heart and knew I was going to find what I needed. The styles are endless with a lot of flexibility for customization. When I had a tech support question I received a response within an hour...and it was a saturday! I was soo happy when they arrived. The quality is perfect and the magnets are very thick. I would be happy to refer this company to anyone.
Wedding: 6/7/2014
I ordered my save the dates from Agiftful Heart. I first ordered a sample with them, and I received the magnet immediately. They were very responsive and answered every question I had. They emailed me a proof before shipping, and I received the entire order in 2 weeks. I loved the save the dates and will definitely be ordering my invitations with them!

Coming into the 2013 season the common opinion among most Pittsburgh Pirates fans was that they would have a hard time buying into this team until they showed that they could put together an entire season.
After back-to-back collapses it's awfully difficult to argue that point with anyone.
Call me crazy, but this team just feels different than any of the others that we have seen during the past 20 years.
Yeah I know that everyone could have said that in July last season when the Bucs were 16 games over .500, but this still just feels different.
At no time during the past 20 years have Pirates fans entered the end of May feeling as good about the team as many should right now. I'm not proclaiming the Pirates a World Series team or even a playoff team. I'm not even ready to go out on a limb and suggest that the Bucs will put an end to 20 consecutive losing seasons.
But what I am suggesting is that this team has earned the right so far to be separated from those teams.
Through two months of the season this team has competed with the best teams in the game and have not only held their own but sit 12 games over .500. I think that's enough so far to separate them from the past 20 teams, especially the past two teams that have taken nose dives to finish the year.
This team has shown no effects from what turned out to be the biggest collapse in baseball history.
I often find it funny to hear Pirates fans talk about how they would never follow the team again after last season's collapse. Yet once the Pirates start winning this season, they are all back on board the bandwagon.
But while that's funny, it's also the great part of the game of baseball. Every year brings something different, even though it hasn't seemed that way in the city of Pittsburgh.
But that's also why this team should be judged on their merit this season and not what has happened over the course of the past two decades. Their success so far has earned them that, at the bare minimum.
Hopefully as the calendar turns June, we can start to quiet the talk of losing streaks and collapses and enjoy the ride with the 2013 Pirates.

Here's a list: Perhaps I am old fashioned (given my gray hair I am entitled to be) and while I think markmail is a very nice web application indeed it is also not a 'typical' one (perhaps that makes it so nice). Given the function (extensions) listed in the link below it is probably not even a typical XQuery 'application' (if such thing would exist) and I assume it certainly would not be easy to 'port' to anything else but MarkLogics technology.....but I am just guessing here. Anyway, XQuery was designed to 'work' on the XQuery/XPath data model and I don't believe anywhere anytime soon your 'typical' developer/architect/ designer will choose XDM as its main representation of information to implement (transactional business) logic upon. If XQuery has the ambition to become a general (data) processing language it will have to integrate (or work) seamlessly with <your preferred oo programming language> object model. I think and for what I have seen of it, LINQ seems to deal with that problem in a rather elegant way (no hands on experience disclaimer here). Personally I have not found an easy way of dealing with that problem. I either end up writing (a useless lot of) XQuery to call external Java functions (and then just hope the XQuery processor will kind of 'respect' the intended order of calls) or use XQJ to invoke XQuery and then do a lot of mumbo jumbo to convert from Java objects to XDM and vice versa.

United States Constitution Mindmap free mind map download. About this mind map As the US Congress finalizes the details on a $700 billion dollar bailout for the US financial system and as we, American citizens, make up our mind about who will be the next President of the United States, I thought it appropriate that we all reflect on our rights as US citizens.
The foundation of those rights is found in the US Constitution, a document signed by America's forefathers on Sept. 17, 1787. This document was by no means perfect when it was signed.

A mind map is basically a diagram that represents various ideas, words, or tasks, and links them together branching out from one single idea. The reason these spider-like diagrams work well is the fact that they facilitate learning in a more visual manner as opposed to the tedious process of going through long texts. Invented and popularized by Tony Buzan, mind mapping can be used for brainstorming ideas, preparing for exams, or breaking down a big project.

Constitutional Law
Although this article is correct in stating that fair use doctrine entails a four factor balancing test (under Section 107), it's not entirely correct in stating the applicable test. The fourth factor requires an analysis of the effect on the market for or value of the copyrighted work. This market analysis includes the market for derivative works. While commerciality obviously could play a role in that inquiry, it's generally understood to be one of the elements considered under the first factor of the test.
According to one of JKR's exports, over 90% of the Lexicon Book consists of JKR's fictional facts. So I think that is clear evidence that the book took too much from Rowling's world.
Thanks More. That was brilliant commentary. Now please go back to your mother basement and continue to please youself to images of little Harry.
Why are there 10 blogs on this topic? SHouldn't we be talking about the supreme court or guantanamo or the DOJ or things that really matter?
FYI,12:59- Writers, authors, artists and anyone making a living from their creative works cares. Keep up the good work,LB!
@ Get a clue: Don't forget IP lawyers and other other copyright enthusiasts.
Even if the fair use doctrine were as iffy as this blog makes it sound (and, okay, maybe it is), I can't see Judge Patterson wanting to be remembered as the guy who set this precedent. Common sense dictates that he's going to rule in favor of JKR.
He's not setting precedent, it's a trial court.
I view the publication of this book as a personal violation of J.K. Rowling and her authorship rights. She gets to control what happens with her characters, the lexicon, the imagery, etc., PERIOD. Let's hope the judge would see the light.
@WSJ — It's an "interesting" world when MTV has a more accurate and detailed news article on Fair Use than the WSJ Law folks. Your fourth test point is inaccurate. The 4th test asks whether the proposed infringing material could potentially adversely effect revenue streams for either the source material it's based on or any planned additional works from the copyright holder. In other words, could SVA's proposed LexiBook potentially harm future sales of JKR's Harry Potter books and her planned Encyclopedia, currently dubbed "The Scottish Book". The first poster's points are also important. This is why a measurable part of court exhibits and testimony addresses the sales/market issues.
i think that the book should just be banned and get it over with. doesent jkr have better things to do
A ruling for Rowling will put too much power in the hands of one author. There are already too many authors/scholars in the literary and academic world who are staying away from studying and writing about the effects of the Potter phenomenon because they are concerned about just this kind of thing happening to them. A ruling in Rowling's favor will only drive more writers and scholars away. In a democracy, shouldn't we want more discussion, rather than less? There is something odd about this author's preoccupation with these matters.
A ruling in favor of Rowling would assure copyright holders that their rights will not be violated by overzealous, greedy fans. The RDR/SVR book isn't about scholarship or discussion. It's about industrious copy and pasting.
The salient points of this case are frequently misstated–it's not about power, it's not about stupidity! Don't forget the Lexicon online for FREE to everyone is OK; it's the commercial publication of the same material for PROFIT that isn't. Both versions use the same material which is reported to consist of over 90% JKR's own words; the difference is the PROFIT angle and claimed authorship of the book version by Van der Ark. Curiously, Van der Ark is also reported to have apparently been indemnified by RDR in his contract…so it's not really his fight but his publisher's.
he was not actually indemnified. What happened was the a lawsuit would against the book by JKR would be against RDR.
If a court declares that the book is factually infringing upon JKR's copyrights, then another part of SVA's contract gets SVA in trouble as he certified that he wasn't infringing.
RDR could sue him for breach of contract.
I wrote a book about certain Harry Potter themes (prejudice and against the disabled and all kinds of minority groups), and her work is very dear to my heart. I am also proud of what I created because it took me years to write it. All I can say is that I hope she doesn't sue me. She has said that she is delighted to read critical analysis on her work, however. So I feel somewhat safe. Still, the fact that I had to print "Not Authorized" on the cover of "Prejudice in Harry Potter" to prevent myself from being sued still makes me feel a bit strange. What would literature be without critical analysis? And why should literary critics ever have to apologize for examining someone's work.
Well, Karen, if you didn't plagiarize, it seems like you shouldn't have to worry about a lawsuit. SVA is reported to have not made the effort to properly attribute JKR's words to their rightful source in his printed Lexicon in addition to lifting most of the text directly from JKR's writing. I googled your book and found out it was just released in March 2008. It sounds interesting; good luck to you…
BJ, thanks again for your email and comments here. As you suggested, I will post some samples from the book, perhaps a chapter or two, on thelppc blog. Cheers. Karen
I would like to ask Karen A. Brown if she doesn't think JKR and her legion of fanatics are kind of ganging up on SVA like a group of high school bullies. The more I think about it, the more it seems to me like Vander Ark is a little house elf who worked the publicity machine for Rowling for years. Now that he wants to step up a little and share a little piece of the pie…just a little something for all the years of hard work he's put into engineering this vast fanbas, Rowling cuts him off and demonized him. I mean, you should see websites like Leaky! Jesus. Talk about followers and sheep. I love Harry Potter; but I don't like this circus mentality. It's like we adore J.K. but we despise each other. From what I have read on your site and in your sample chapter, Miss Brown, you are obviously a JKR supporter and a fanatic like the rest. So I think you were probably not the best candidate to write this book about prejudice. It's a great idea, I must say. But you are a follower and JKR-worshipper just like the rest.
I couldn't help but notice this remark: "After all, on the first day of trial, Rowling said that if her fans are flooded "with a surfeit of substandard books," she's "not sure" she'd have "the will or heart to continue."
Several years ago, I faced a similar lawsuit by lawyers representing the estate of J. R. R. Tolkien, a suit that I won quite definitively when the Seattle federal court judge dismissed their case "with prejudice." As a result, I was able to publish Untangling Tolkien, the only detailed chronology of The Lord of the Rings in print and I even authorized a Polish translation.
At the request of RDR Books, I submitted a Declaration in this dispute. In it I address Rowling's unhealthy possessiveness toward her work directly. She and many of her fans need to "get a life." These books aren't a historical account of horrible events like the Jewish Holocaust. They are a work of fiction and should be treated as such. We should be able to write about her tale happily and freely from every angle, including making fun of it.
If Rowings thinks she'll be reduced to literary speechlessness because someone can get away with creating a lexicon for her work before her, how is she going to react when someone creates a parody of the tale, a parody that may be is crude and tasteless as that of Lord of the Rings (Bored of the Rings)? If her words are taken serious, and this may just be courtroom dramatics, one of the world's richest women will need all her money to pay for the counseling she'll need.
Remember, parodies are not only quite legal, their very legality is enhanced by a copyright holder's unwillingness to write or sanction something like them.
–Michael W. Perry, Untangling Tolkien
That's funny. In high school I read two books, both by Christian preachers, one in defense of the themes in the book, and one against. I have no knowledge of any lawsuits that challenged them, because the majority of both books consisted of original thoughts and speculation on the part of the authors. Rowling didn't try to sue them — because they weren't just copying her book, and she was likely familiar with their other books which did the same with other fictional universes.
This is a clear case, to me, of someone trying to ride the coattails of another person's success and then trying to play the victim when they get rightfully sued.
Just like I can't publish HP fanfiction, this person can't expect to publish content that rightfully belongs to someone else and doesn't add anything to it of merit.
Has anyone actually read the Lexicon? Here, go to the site: http://www.hp-lexicon.org/. Read some entries, and then come back with the realization that JKR's PR machine has made it seem like Vander Ark has ripped off her work when it's pretty clear he hasn't.
Absolutely with you it agree. I think, what is it excellent idea.

24: Season 04 (2005)
directed by
Jon Cassar
featuring Kiefer Sutherland, William Devane, Alberta Watson, Nestor Serrano, Shohreh Aghdashloo
Season four of the wildly successful "real-time" adventure series 24 begins some 18 months at the end of season three. John Keeler (Geoff Pierson) ... Show synopsis Season four of the wildly successful "real-time" adventure series 24 begins some 18 months at the end of season three. John Keeler (Geoff Pierson) has succeeded David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) as president of the United States, and the new secretary of defense is James Heller (William Devane) -- who is also the new boss of crack CTU agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland). One of Heller's first moves is to reunite Jack with his old nemesis Erin Driscoll (Alberta Watson), now the head of the CTU. Unbeknownst to most of the principal characters, Jack is in love with Heller's daughter (and policy assistant), Audrey Raines (Kim Raver), this despite the fact that Audrey is still legally married to estranged husband, Paul (James Frain). Outside of Jack Bauer and President Keeler, the only series character from season three to return as a regular in season four is CTU tech analyst Chloe O'Brien (Mary Lynn Rajskub); the rest of the cast is virtually brand-new. The "day" that comprises the fourth season begins, typically, with a nail-biting crisis, when James Heller and his daughter Audrey are captured by a terrorist group headed by Habib Marwan (Arnold Vosloo), who has already set a fiendish master plan in motion with a train bombing in the U.S. It soon develops that the abduction of Heller and Audrey is but a subterfuge to allow an enemy stealth bomber to blow up Air Force One and eliminate the president -- and ultimately to gain control of a nuclear warhead that will destroy a major U.S. city. Making matters worse, there is a turncoat in the ranks of the CTU -- and without giving the game away, it can be noted that CTU agent Sarah Gavin (Lana Parrilla) tumbles to the mole's identity before Jack Bauer does. As the tension mounts, Paul Raines is seriously wounded saving Jack during a covert mission, which "ices" Jack's relationship with Audrey; a shattering personal tragedy forces Erin Driscoll to resign from her post in mid-season; there is dissension in the terrorist ranks during a concerted effort to trigger nuclear meltdowns in six different cities; the seldom-used 25th Amendment is invoked to change presidents in midstream; and an old enemy of Jack's from the series' first two seasons appears virtually out of nowhere to make a terrible situation far worse than could ever be imagined. Clearly, the fourth season of 24 drew inspiration from the headlines of the day, notably the controversial treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. The series also was attacked by certain special-interest groups for making several of the villains Arabs, or of Arab descent. And of course, there were those who carped that the series' notion of "real time" (each episode consisted of a single uninterrupted hour in the same day) resulted in some rather ludicrous lapses of logic. But 24 was as big a hit in the ratings throughout its fourth season as it had been all along. Hal Erickson, Rovi

News Corp. on Monday launched a new online ad network focusing on financial news. Called Worthnet.Fox, the new global network contains 30 financial news and advice sites, including News Corp.'s Dow Jones properties
The Wall Street Journal
, Barron's and Marketwatch. Its target audience is executives who frequently travel all over the world on business. According to Reuters, Worthnet.Fox comes is a response to Dow Jones' growing international presence, and will help the media conglomerate mine new areas like Latin America.
"The economy has grown around the world and has helped create a new global affluent individual," said Hernán López, chief operating officer of Fox International Channels. One example could be "the head of world financial companies that expands his operations in India and wants a local manager that has experience in more international companies."
Fox is a division of News Corp. that has been relatively unknown until April, when it purchased the European online video ad network Utarget. Soon, the Fox network will also start working with News Corp.'s Internet content division, Fox Interactive Media.

Microsoft on Sunday issued a statement indicating an openness to return to the bargaining table with Yahoo, even though the software giant walked away from negotiations to acquire the company less than two weeks ago. This time, Microsoft says it favors a smaller-scale deal rather than an outright acquisition, though it doesn't discount the possibility of either outcome.
Sources tell
Kara Swisher
that Yahoo's search ad business is Microsoft's primary concern, as the combination would make for a credible No. 2 competitor to Google in the search business. Microsoft could either purchase Yahoo Search or enter a deal to be its exclusive partner. Such a deal would allow Yahoo to keep its online display business, its communications assets and its content properties, areas which Swisher says Yahoo should have stayed focused on in the first place, instead of branching out into search.
As Silicon Alley Insider's Henry Blodget says, this would be a good deal for Yahoo, because the Web giant will continue ceding search share to Google no matter what, so it may as well get some money for its technology. However, Microsoft is ultimately chasing "a lost cause," says Blodget, seeing as neither Yahoo nor Microsoft can maintain search share against Google, let alone gain it. You have to wonder why Microsoft is so hell bent on beating Google in search-a game that most analysts agree is effectively over.

Display advertising may suffer as the economy slows. Mixed results from the likes of Yahoo and Time Warner indicate that online publishers may be getting less money for the ad space they sell. More and more advertisers are opting for automated targeting and delivery through cheaper advertising networks instead of buying directly from expensive publishers like Yahoo. And the cost continues to go down, dropping 23% from March to April, according to PubMatic, a technology firm that runs an online pricing index. The drop was even steeper among large Web publishers, falling 52%, according to the firm.
If those figures are accurate, the rest of 2008 will be painful for big media firms whose online services depend mostly on display advertising. That lengthy list includes Yahoo, AOL, Viacom, News Corp., The New York Times Co., Disney, CBS, NBC-Universal, CNET, and many others. As Sanford C. Bernstein & Company analyst Jeffrey Lindsay says: "The weakest form (of online advertising), the one that's most susceptible to a downturn - and this is what we're seeing - is display advertising,"
Lindsay added that recession fears might actually be a boost to some media companies, such as those depending on automated advertising systems like search. "In a moderate or even quite severe downturn, online advertising actually improves, because people switch their advertising budgets out of traditional advertising formats - TV, radio and print - and move more online because it's got higher performance, it's cheaper and it's more measurable," he said.

As Google, MySpace and Facebook battle to become the primary gatekeeper of user data portability, TechCrunch's Erick Schonfeld points out that friend data is already being leaked out of their Web sites unbeknownst to them. "Startups are finding ways around their official APIs to get the data consumers want into their own systems," he said.
Steve Repetti, CTO of Zude, a personalized Web page service, said he was tired of waiting for "true data portability" to arrive, so Zude came out with SocialMix, a feature lets users import friends lists, photos, profile information, status updates, comments and other data from Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Orkut and hi5. "What we are doing is taking the information and normalizing it and making it available in any manner you want," Repetti said. Media6, another startup, leverages social data by placing cookies on Facebook ads to collect social data for advertisers. Its technology remembers if you click on an ad, and then serves the same one to all of your friends, who are "two to 10 times more likely" to click on it, too, according to the company.
Facebook can go and shut these companies down, but the greater concern is Google, which crawls the entire Web, gaining free access to that data. Even so, "Facebook is going to have a hell of a time trying to put (the social data) back in the barn," he said.

Yahoo looks set to lose out on yet another major advertising deal, as it emerged today that AOL, in finalizing its $850 million acquisition of Bebo, will most likely not renew Yahoo's pact with the UK social networking giant after once their display advertising deal is up in September 2009. Actually, it's an absolute certainty: AOL's Platform A will take over Bebo's advertising operations in Australia, Ireland and the UK once the Yahoo deal ends in September 2009, because why else would the Time Warner company have bought the social network in the first place?
Bebo's chief executive Joanna Shields confirmed the news earlier Monday when she announced that Bebo would ultimately be combined with AOL's Instant Messenger and other communications platforms into the new People Networks division, which Shields will be head of. The loss of Bebo's business would be yet another big blow to Yahoo, as the Bebo partnership is Yahoo's only significant advertising deal with a major social network. Google, meanwhile, has MySpace and Orkut, while Microsoft has Facebook.

USA Train Vacations
America's rolling prairies, plains, and towering mountain peaks paint the picturesque backdrop for a USA train vacation. Add to that landscape bustling metropolises, expansive national parks, and acclaimed historic sites and attractions, and it's easy to see why the United States is a perfect destination for a train trip.
The beauty of a vacation by rail is it begins the moment you step aboard the train. Settle into your cozy onboard accommodations and leave the driving to someone else as you travel deep into unspoiled natural beauty. Admire the passing scenery from your seat or the train's observation lounge. Enjoy a hot meal in the dining car or the café, read a book, or listen to music as the train crisscrosses the country. While many of our independent and escorted train vacations include overnight travel aboard an iconic long-distance train, there is a great selection that solely feature excursions aboard day trains that are just as historic including vintage trains like the Grand Canyon Railway as well as scenic tourist trains like Colorado's Durango & Silverton and New England's Cape Cod Central Railroad.
Each train vacation incorporates an iconic train journey into a well-planned itinerary that also includes visits to popular destinations, comprehensive sightseeing, and more. Choose from rail trips in Alaska, popular Coast to Coast train vacations, fall foliage tours, or visits to America's national parks by train. With more than 100 vacations in the United States alone, you're sure to find the perfect itinerary.

Posted record: 95-74-5 +124.58
oak/royals under 7.5 -120 guthrie vs lester 5 unit
rockies/padres over 7 -106 despaigne vs flande
Royals +1.5 -123 lester vs guthrie 10 unit
Won with the royals yesterday and am taking them again at this price. I see the majority will be all over Oakland on the money line as well as the run line, but i will be siding with the home doggy. Cant blame them lester has been money since he arrived in Oakland but looking into his last game against the royals he did give up 3 runs but what really sticks out to me is the fact he only struck out 3 batters & gave up 9 hits in 6.2 innings... Guthrie also faced Oakland in that series and he held them to 0 runs striking out 6 batters in 6 innings.. Both pitchers are coming off complete games and seem to be very focused right now so i think runs will be at a premium tomorrow night with these guys on the mound. Looks to me like another coin flip game but if i can get the scorching hot royals +1.5 at -123 definitely taking that all day.
Good pick... I do like under 7 at +109 as well. It should be really stiff pitching and Oakland bats are cold!
Best of Luck tonight Farmhouse.

Planning to enhance your overall driving experience by giving your vehicle several inches of lift? There are various suspension lift kits available in the market for you to choose from. And to make the upgrade complete, don't forget to get a suspension lift component box. Lifting your vehicle will give you a wide range of benefits. If you've always wanted to have bigger tires in your ride, a lift kit will give you that because it will increase room in the wheel well. And with your car's bigger rigs and enhanced height, it's sure to get a commanding look that will catch everybody's attention. Lifting your auto will make it look offroad-ready, and that goes more than just looks. With the chassis and body of your car lifted and brought a little farther from the ground, you now have increase ground clearance and can already travel in rocky or rugged terrains without all those debris, stones, and fallen tree branches scratching and attacking your vehicle's undercarriage. However, a lift kit alone won't suffice. To complete your lifting project, a suspension lift component box is a must. This package is designed to finish off your suspension upgrade and give you improved overall ride quality.Different component boxes contain different parts and hardware, with some of the kits already including all that's needed to complete the lift while others may require that you get additional complementing kits. Some of the components that you'll typically find in a suspension lift component box are u-bolt kits, track bar brackets, bump stops, links (upper and lower), spring bushing kits, and other mounting hardware. When getting any of the kits in the market, check whether the package will require some other components or demand some modifications for them to be installed. Some other kits require a new drag link; others demand such processes as drilling and cutting to be mounted. Some kits are also designed to work only for a specific suspension lift and a particular ride height, at which case you need to be sure that the kit you get is compatible with your suspension lift kit. You'll have no problem finding the right suspension lift component box if you shop here at Auto Parts Warehouse. Our selection of parts is complete, and we have a part finder that will help make your search easy. Shop here today and give your vehicle the upgrade that it needs.

Increase your Truck's Height with a Suspension Lift Component Box
Using a suspension lift component box may be quite difficult, but it's worth the effort when you see your truck's new look. Modify your truck's suspension system to get an increase of 4 to 6 inches to its height. Since this project involves working with very vital parts of the vehicle, it is advisable to ask help from a professional if you have any doubts on the procedure. Read this overview guide to give you a jumpstart before you start the modification.
Difficulty level: Difficult
Tools needed:
- Wheel chocks
- Floor jack
- Jack stands
- Socket set
- Wrench set
- Measuring tape
- Suspension lift component box
Step 1: Park your car on a flat and well lit area for the installation. Engage the parking brake and put wheel chocks on the rear wheels. Raise the truck with a floor jack and secure it with jack stands. Make sure you place the stand behind the front spring shackles.
Step 2: Remove the front tires. With the suspension exposed, remove the shocks, u-bolts, and the main suspension assembly. Depending on the model, this can either be coil springs, struts, or leaf springs. For some models, it may be necessary to remove other parts such as the ABS line, tie rod, anti sway bar, torsion bar, and other specific parts.
Step 3: Install the new main suspension assembly from the kit. Put the other new parts with the kit such as u-bolts, studs, bars, and struts. For leaf springs, don't fully tighten yet. This will be done before lowering the car.
Step 4: Return the front tires. If your truck has one, adjust the turning radius block to see that the wheel's inner face is not in contact with any part.
Step 5: Check the clearance of the whole assembly with your measuring tape. Once you are sure that everything is at a good distance between each other, tighten all the parts according to specification.
Step 6: Lower the front of the car to finish.
Step 7: For the rear end of the truck, the steps for installation are similar to the steps for the front. It may change depending on your vehicles rear suspension system, if it has any attachments, and the lift component box you will install.
This installation will take between 2 to 4 hours.
- Be careful during disassembly of the suspension. Since this part carries a heavy load, it may suddenly fall and drop. Make sure everything is checked and supported before completely removing anything.
- The set is designed to work altogether. Use only the parts supplied by the kit. Don't make changes to increase height or just because you think it's better that way.

Public Law 96-88, signed by President Jimmy Carter in October 1979, formally established the U.S. Department of Education in 1980. In recognition of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the department, please join AEI as we examine lessons learned about the crafting of federal education policy from the department's first quarter century.
What are the structural and political limitations on educational leadership at the federal level? How has education policy evolved in the last twenty-five years? What is the most productive way for a secretary to work with the White House and Congress? These questions and others will be examined by former secretaries of education William Bennett, Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), and Rod Paige. Andrew Rotherham, former education advisor to President Bill Clinton, will join in the conversation. AEI director of education policy studies Frederick M. Hess will moderate.

September 2005
The Department of Education Twenty-Five Years LaterPresident Jimmy Carter signed legislation in October 1979 that formally established the U.S. Department of Education in the spring of 1980. In recognition of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the department, AEI hosted a panel discussion to examine lessons learned about the crafting of federal education policy from the department's first quarter-century. What are the structural and political limitations on educational leadership at the federal level? How has education policy evolved in the last twenty-five years? What is the most productive way for a secretary to work with the White House and Congress? These questions and others were examined by former secretaries of education William Bennett, Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), and Rod Paige. Andrew Rotherham, former education advisor to President Bill Clinton, joined in the conversation.
Rod Paige
Woodrow Wilson Center
More than twenty years after the Department of Education released A Nation at Risk, our system of education and our nation are still at risk. From 2000-2004, three consecutive external audits were conducted for the Education Department, the results of which led to the concept and creation of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). President George W. Bush, Congress, and congressional staff members especially deserve praise for their unwillingness to yield to political pressures and for achieving compromise on the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 2002. While too often the important business of education is negatively affected and even hindered by political agendas and bickering in Washington, this landmark legislation--which created NCLB--is the key to improve the achievement of American school children and giving them the education system they deserve.
The Honorable Lamar Alexander
United States Senate
The Department of Education has been formally established and involved in national policymaking for twenty-five years, yet it remains a mystery how the federal government can or should act to improve local schools like those in rural Tennessee. Has the creation of a cabinet-level department improved the state of education in America? Perhaps. But these modest improvements could have been achieved within a different organizational structure. Before education was elevated to a cabinet-level department, there existed a federal Office of Education with a national education advisor. This person was able to advocate for the cause of education nationally while advising the president personally, similar to the role of a national security advisor--a more sensible organizational arrangement.
America has devised a successful model for higher education, one that has produced world experts in every academic field. Colleges and universities are generously funded by the federal government but are given institutional autonomy, which creates a marketplace for competition and excellence. This successful system could serve as an example for the structure of K-12 education.
Bill Bennett
Claremont Institute
Since the department's establishment there have been those in Washington who have wanted to abolish or restructure it. The American system of education is decentralized, unlike that of many countries, so federal involvement is not as necessary as it is in many other systems. Government influence in education should come primarily from the state and local levels, making the most important role for a secretary of education that of a national advocate. Using the bully pulpit to spotlight successful programs nationwide is one of the most important jobs a secretary can perform.
Research shows that one of the most important factors that influences a child's learning is the effectiveness of his or her teacher. In fact, the consequences of a good teacher on a child's ability to read are astonishing; the consequences of a bad teacher are appalling. Thus, educational accountability for teachers and schools is the key to improving education and making our system one based upon performance.
Andrew Rotherham
Education Sector
The Department of Education is a federal office fraught with irony; its opponents have argued for its abolition, but the American education system has improved since it was established. Not only has federal funding increased dramatically in the past twenty-five years, but there is now a national focus on education and accountability that did not exist before it was created. A Nation at Risk, the 1983 landmark report on the state of education in America, was commissioned by the Department of Education under secretary Terrel Bell, and it created an impetus for improving standards that carried into the 1994 reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and the much-discussed 2002 reauthorization--the No Child Left Behind Act.
Though the movement toward standards and accountability has rapidly progressed in recent years, the department itself has not been adequately equipped to manage the increased focus or requirements. The most notable dearth of knowledge is in the area of research, which receives too little attention within the department. Usable research and data are the most important tools the government can use when designing new programs, and unfortunately, the department itself is incapable of performing this valuable function.
AEI researcher Morgan Goatley prepared this summary.
