Symptom one:
A penchant for setting up situations that put me on the run;
A distinct inability to bounce back
From both personal and justified attacks;
A lack
Of responsibility or
Desire to face the poor
Decisions that put me in the poor house;
A tendency to comply when crying friends say, "Ignore us."
Symptom two:
A bad habit of sniffing Krazy Glue
Then taking my boots off and stomping around the chicken coop;
An effected detachment from reality
Guaranteed by liberal application of low-volume TV
As the background noise and color of a much larger, more important scheme
To sleep
And enjoy approximately 12 hours of wine-and-rum dreams.
Symptom three:
A pair of bruised and bloody knees
Garnered from a day of hard work of falling to them to please—
Well, everyone, it seems.
Not that they ever asked me for subservience
Or even courtesy in any way;
That's just the kind of guy I am, I'd say.
Symptom four:
Difficulty finding topics of conversation that don't bore,
And/or people whose first instinct when I talk isn't to snore;
Furthermore, difficulty enjoying conversation myself
(Unless it's about how I prefer poultry to shellfish).
I don't think that makes me selfish, but
I'd say I'm a loner since instead of talking with potential friends I'd rather stay home reading Homer.
Symptom five:
Use of big words where they don't solicitously apply
Just in case someone gets the idea that I'm not the smartest thing alive.
Symptom six:
The labels I affix
To both myself and others who might then find that they and their assignments don't mix.
For instance, the way I've spelled out my problem to you with the intent
Of getting some relief from it—
But you're not a doctor, are you?

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Gov. Terry McAuliffe has granted a medical clemency for an inmate who has terminal cancer.
Media outlets report that 35-year-old Jason Scott Davis' parents sought the clemency so that he can die at home.
His mother, Brenda Kirby, says Davis will stay with his brother in c.
His father, Charles Davis, says he's heartbroken that he's losing his son. But Charles Davis says his son will be surrounded by family when he dies.
Jason Davis is serving a two-year, one-month sentence at Powhatan Correctional Center for assault and battery on a family member. He was scheduled to be released Nov. 10.
McAuliffe spokeswoman Rachel Thomas says the governor granted clemency for the inmate but she wasn't able to provide details about when he would be released.

Storms batter Cumbria wreaking havoc
Last updated at 13:19, Thursday, 19 December 2013
Cumbria police dealt with scores of weather-related incidents as the county was battered by strong winds.
Strong winds ripped part of the roof off a former motel, blocking a main road in west Cumbria.
The A595 was closed in both directions near the old Moota Motel, between Cockermouth and Bothel, after a large section of the roof was blown off and onto the road. It has since reopened.
The roof is believed to have damaged a number of parked cars but no one was injured.
Two vehicles were subsequently involved in a collision at the scene, but there was no damage.
West Cumbria appears to have been the worst affected area, with Carlisle and the Eden valley escaping the worst of the storm damage.
In Barncroft Avenue, Seaton, the board and felt roof was blown off a house. The entire roof landed across the road, over the pavement and a front garden wall. No one was injured.
Strong winds - gusts of up to 84mph were reported at Great Dun Fell - caused havoc on the M6, and Cumbria police imposed a blanket 50mph speed limit between junction 35 and junction 40.
An earlier incident on the southbound carriageway, between J40 Penrith and J39 Shap, was quickly cleared and that section fully reopened.
However, elsewhere on the M6 an overturned lorry forced police to close the southbound carriageway between junction 38 for Tebay and junction 37 for Kendal.
It remains passable this morning (Thursday) via the hard shoulder and lane one. Its male driver was taken to the Royal Lancaster Infirmary with minor injuries. The road will temporarily be closed later today as recovery work is completed.
Motorists trying to avoid the M6 were last night advised that the A685 was blocked towards Kendal by a falling tree. They also advised high-sided vehicles to avoid the A6.
Fallen trees were yesterday (Thursday) still blocking Church Street and Whitehaven Road, both Frizington.
A tree also came down on Inkerman Terrace in Whitehaven. That road reopened at about 2am. The A6, between the Jackson's Lane junction in Shap and Priestclose Lane junction in Hackthorpe, has also reopened after a fallen tree was removed this morning (Thursday).
Copeland Pool in Whitehaven is closed today (Thursday) due to the winds. The extent of any damage is not known
At its peak, Electricity Northwest confirmed it had 2,500 customers without power across Cumbria, the majority in the west of the county. This morning, more than 1,200 across Cumbria and Lancashire - mainly along the west coast - were without electricity at 5am but that number has reduced throughout the day and at around 1pm about 150 still had no power.
The worst affected areas were Workington and Seaton, but other areas without electricity included the Monkwray area of Whitehaven, Blindcrake, Hayton, near Aspatria, Langrigg, Wigton, the top end of Waberthwaite and an area near Penrith.
At shortly after 10.10pm power cuts also hit areas of Carlisle. Currently areas of Houghton, Kingstown and Stanwix are without electricity.
A spokeswoman for the utility company said engineers are trying to restore power to as many homes as they can as soon as possible, but said the changing weather conditions were hindering progress.
Residents reported that power was restored gradually across the area, with properties in Greystoke, Allonby, Maryport and Crosby among the first to be reinstated.
Remote, rural villages are expected to be among the last to regain power.
This afternoon it tweeted:
We've restored power to the majority of customers after severe weather hit Cumbria and Lancashire last night. Thank you for your patience

The Environment Agency issued a series of flood alerts for Cumbria. They covered part of the coast, the lower River Eden, from Crosby-on-Eden to Rockcliffe and the upper River Derwent, from Seathwaite to Derwent Water.
The rivers - where alerts were still in place this morning - were predicted to rise following heavy rainfall.
The coastline from Millom to Gretna was also potentially at risk. Strong winds were expected to create a significant surge in the Irish Sea around the 12am-12.30am high tides, said the agency.
- More heavy rain and gale force winds are forecast to sweep across Cumbria later this week.
The Met Office is warning the new weather front will cross the county from Friday afternoon into the early hours of Saturday morning.
It says it could lead to some localised flooding and people should prepare for potential disruption.

"DO NOT stay at Staybridge Suites Augusta"
The hotel is good , however they tend to not follow the request of the customer. We asked two times "Do Not Disturb" or That we do not need room service. They assured us they would inform house keeping on this. Well house keeping entered the room anyway. They pick-up dirty towels, however they did not replenish new towels. I DO NOT recommend Staybridge […] Suites Augusta, since they did not follow instructions of no room service as requested. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
I picked this hotel of the many in Augusta because it was clean. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The staff were awesome!!

Hotel was nice and clean, bed was comfortable and was in a convenient location for shopping and dining. Neighborhood is ok, but sometime during the night I heard a domestic argument outside my window coming from the apartments across the street.

"STAY @ STAYbridge"
We were in Augusta because my husband had some business there so he left me in the room with my sewing machine and took the truck. I went downstairs for breakfast which was tasty and everyone was super nice. I got some newspapers and went back to my room for a whole day of sewing! Since Staybridge is a Suites Hotel with a full kitchen, I brought some […] lunch items with me and I made my own lunch instead of calling a taxi or walking in the Georgia heat. Staybridge is close to some great restaurants: Tacosushi/Boll Weevals, etc. The beds were super comfortable and the room was quite. We needed to stay in Augusta one more night so my husband could finish the job but Staybridge was overbooked and we had to go over to Courtyard Marriott the the last night in Augusta which is also nice but not as nice as Staybridge. My advise: STAY here if you can! If not, Courtyard across I-20. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

[…] morning staff was excellent and went above to fix a problem the night staff (front desk) made. food bar ok. no taste what so ever even when trying to doctor it up. kitchen in our room so we made our own meals from then on. had to call for clean towels the next night.

"great location to shopping and eating"
nice clean well kept property. great location to mall and resturants. room size was great. staff was great.Genuine Expedia guest review
Hotel was quite different from other Staybridge Hotels that we have stayed in as recently as 2 weeks ago. It was clean and quiet! Only complaint was that we could not get parking spaces due to people sitting at front of hotel with their cars blocking the driveway to the lot! When we asked the people sitting on the benches in front of hotel if they knew […] whose car they belonged to one said that it was her car. She acted put off cause we needed to get our car into a space. She proceeded to moved her car closer to the curb possibly impeding someone else getting their car parked! The other car was still in the same spot the next morning when we were leaving! Mind you these were not "parking spaces" in the lot. There was no place to pull in to check into the hotel other than parking spaces! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Best of the Area"
If you are on a quick business trip, best place to stay in the area. You can walk to many places to eat, and it is close to freeway. Not spectacular by any stretch, but better than the other hotels in the area. Only dislike was could not get the room to cool down under 75, and bed was hard as a rock.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Road warrior that appreciates a CLEAN hotel"
I travel alot so I get to really see the good, the bad and the ugly of alot of hotels. I always try to remain optimistic about traveling but dirty hotels can get me down. Traveling is something I have to do because it is part of my job. Staybridge only enhanced my positive mindset with their wonderful hotel. It was very clean, modern, it smelled nice […] and it was decorated beautifully. I was very impressed with the quality of the hotel. Now when I travel I will always look for a Staybridge Suites Hotel. It was truly a very great experience. It was really like being at home. I cooked a gourmet meal in the well equipped kitchen. I even took a hot bath in the very clean bathtub. Thanks for making a difference in a Road Warriors life. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Quite pricey at Master's week. Other than that, it was a great place to stay. I would stay there again.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Nice hotel."
I stayed one night and was very happy with the service. The staff were very helpful and the room was clean and comfortable and accommodated us a family of 4 very well. The television programs were excellent. I recommend this hotel to anybody. Shabbir AlidinaGenuine Expedia guest review
"Masters Pop In"
Decent enough hotel, friendly and welcoming staff. Hotel is 'OK' lets be honest. Room fine, spacious and tidy/clean. For Masters Patrons its a 15-20 min walk to the course. There are ample restaurants nearby within 5-10 min walk.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good hotel, and Super staff"
My wife and I used this hotel for the Masters and we found it to be a very conveinent choice of hotel (we walked the second day to the course, which was a lot easier than struggling the short distance in traffic). even more pleasing was the cleanliness of the hotel and the room. We were also impressed with the breakfast buffet which even though simple […] was more than adequate and well stocked at all times. The biggest praise needs to go to the staff at the hotel, who throughout were welcoming and helpful. This must be a very busy week for all hotels in the area and yet we always met a welcoming face and helpful assistance. in particular Sherry Smith the General Manager was an absolute star!!!! We will be back and we have reccomended this hotel to our friends who are coming next year. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Nice hotel, friendly staff, wonderful breakfast"
10/08/14 muchfuntravelin Charleston
It's a typical Staybridge, but we LOVE them...our favorite hotel chain. We had gotten in late & put in a last minute reservation. When we arrived no one was at the desk at first & we couldn't find a cart, but soon we were taken care of. We had JUST made the reservation on the phone & it seemed that the reservation did not show up on their computer system. After further investigation, it seems that the reservation had been put in for the following evening. Certainly this was not Staybridge's fault and the young lady made a call and adjusted the reservation for that evening. Thank you for her patience! We had a nice overnight stay & would stay here again.

"Nice for long-term stays"
09/11/14 Robert L
I stayed in this location for a week while I was looking for a place to live in Augusta for work. The rooms were decent and kept stocked of toiletry items. I had a problem that when I moved in, there were missing items in the cabinet and towels missing. I called the front desk and they took care of this pretty quickly. I recommend that when you arrive in your room, you review the inventory of items actually in the room versus what is on the inventory list so that you are not charged for items taken by the prior guest. The breakfast is decent and in the evening there is not a dinner but a decent snack available several nights per week but not every night.

Stayed at this hotel many times for business but it's nice coming to a place were you are often treated as family. Front desk and hotel staff are friendly and always very accomodating. Look foward to always returning. Rooms are clean and well kept, although during my stay I twice returned to my room after work to find my room door not closed but still open. I let the front desk know after the second time and it didn't happen again during the remaining time of my stay. Always a pleasure staying here.

"Masters Week"
04/06/14 DanielB1950 Augusta, Georgia
Don't make RSP over the internet for Masters Week! Call hotel direct! I walked into a handicap room, which I was told was a rack room! Asked for a change ... But no rooms available, of course it's Masters week. The room charges are sometime 10 times normal rate. I feel sorry for someone requesting a handicap room. I would get fined if I parked in a handicap space! Maybe Hotels should be fined, too! Anyway, the room was clean, but for some reason a fork was in the bathroom sink. The staff was friendly but failed to provide me with another room. Another person beside me at the office desk said "At least you don't have another person in your room!" Good luck finding an open room! The hotels charge at least 5 times the normal cost during Masters week ... it's all about money! Don't stay in Augusta during the week... I would recommend Columbia area. The rates are not thur the roofs, yet. It's about an hour drive to the Masters.

Very interesting. Pet is not allowed at Staybridge Suites Augusta. Really??? 2 - In evening, on my room door I put sign; "Do not disturb". AT 8-30 AM Made know at my door!!! I was after long day at hospital. I wanted had a rest, sleep. For this reason, I did not stay at hospital. She did not apologize for wake me up. 3 - I asked extra pillow. Pillow at hotel - NOT AVAILABLE. 4 - TV did not show all channels - that on program. My husband called a manager. At 9 am. Manager came to room at 4-30 PM. Of course, He can do nothing, because he did not saw technician at this day. And technician left for today.

Front desk guy really good. Hotel - well it's a luxury extended stay. But with that, you get minimal housekeeping, etc. It was clean, near modern, and close to restaurants. Easy on off access to highway. The Internet - not great - they had like 5 networks and one would work an hour and then i'd switch to another. Gym - old but varied equipment. Overally you'll do fine here. PS - kudos to the ripe and fresh honeydew at breakfast - other hotels use frozen. there was a real difference here.

This was my 3rd consecutive year with friends during Masters week, and it has only gotten better each time. The staff from Sherry, NARY, Kristin and Rosa are there every year remembering your name, always smiling despite the hectic week during Masters. The rooms are Very clean, spacious and comfortable...the lobby area cozy and contemporary, with a full and well-stocked breakfast. We watched the play-off on Masters sunday from the leather lazy-boys in the theater room... awesome.The location is perfect -- 1 mile walk to front gate of Augusta National, yet on the right side of traffic as the I-20 is a stone's throw; short walk to Bonefish, Starbucks and other amenities. A drive straight thru the Washington intersection and you're in the estate-type homes around Augusta National, bypassing Washington traffic to the quieter gate 9 entrance. The Kroger and Fresh Market is a couple blocks away to stock your kitchen. wifi free and reliable. Augusta Chronicle and water...shuttle to boot. The best value for money during Masters week, considering the cost and poorer quality of other hotels in the area. Thankyou Staybridge Augusta ! My Augusta family ! ~ Frank, Toronto Canada

I have stayed at this property many times on business over the years. Always find the rooms clean and furnished nicely. They are spacious and offer a nice retreat after a long days work. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable and very helpful. Miss Sherrie always welcomes our group when we return each year and having what seems like little turnover at the front desk makes it feel like coming home again. There are other places to stay in Augusta, but you can't get that feeling everywhere.

I'm sure there are people who will see this that don't even remember following me or favoriting my story anymore. I guess that's what happens when you disappear for upwards of a year. I can't attribute this to writer's block. Not really. What I can attribute it to is depression. I'm not going to make any excuses. I'm just going to say that I've actually managed to write and publish a chapter for the first time in a long time, and if people are still interested in the continuing adventures of Lyra and Gilda a year later, good, and if not, I don't blame you. No one should have to deal with that kind of delay for just a couple thousand words. Especially when the end result is super sloppy due to how rusty I am.
I can promise one thing, though. I'm not giving up. Even if mental issues get the better of me again and I slip back into nothing, I won't forget this story. I really care about it, and I will finish it. And I hope that people are still around to see it when I do.

I used to be able to update whatever story I was working on once every two weeks or so, but that hasn't been the case for a while now. I just want to apologize to those following The Griffin's Apprentice for how slow things have been going. Things are a bit rough in my life at the moment, and it's hard to get the motivation to push on in a story. I am by no means abandoning it, and I try to work on it every day, but most days "working on it" consists of staring at the page, writing a single sentence, and then finding myself unable to come up with the words to continue. Hopefully I'll get my drive back, because I seriously love the story as it exists in my head, and I want to share it, but I refuse to do it poorly. I'm not going to crap out chapters just to get them done. That doesn't do anyone any favors. In any case, I hope you all stick around to see where things go with the story, but I wouldn't blame you for dropping it if the gap between chapters is unacceptable. Sorry.

I attempted to write a story for the EQD Nightmare Night contest recently, and I did not like how it turned out at all. Of course, I ended up finishing it at about 2:00 AM the night before the deadline, and I was really sleepy, so I published it regardless. Immediately, regretting that, I kinda shut down for a while, and I haven't really visited this site since then until just now, when I deleted the previously mentioned story.
I am a slow writer. The concept of my horror story has tons of potential, but I was stupid to think that I could figure it out in a week for a contest. I essentially crapped out a one-shot for what should have been a multi-part story, and it wasn't scary. Now that I know that I simply cannot attempt to write within any sort of concrete time frame, that should hopefully never happen again.
Back to writing my next story I go. It'll be a straight adventure this time, though not with the characters you'd expect. Just don't expect a date on it.

111w, 3dSo ends the first story...5 comments · 144 views
Well, here we are. Six months ago to the day, I published the first chapter of Make a Wish. It was my first real fanfiction undertaking, aside from a failure from before I had familiarized myself with what was horribly cliche in the fandom (it's still sitting around here somewhere if you want to look at it and laugh. Just don't expect me to ever touch it again). The response I received for it was entirely positive and unexpected, which inspired me to submit it to Equestria Daily. After one quick round of edits, it was accepted and posted up there.
Now the story is finished. I'm really proud of my work, but I know that in the end what I think about it doesn't matter. What everyone else thinks about it does. So, that's what I'd like to hear from you guys. I have comments on the individual chapters themselves, but they tend to be short and only pertaining to the chapter at hand. In the comments on this post, I'd like to hear your complete thoughts on the story as a whole. What you liked, what you didn't like, what you found funny, what you wish had been explored more, etc. Spare me no criticism, as I want complete honesty with my flaws. If I want to grow as a writer, I need to hear what I did right and what I did wrong so I can emphasize one and fix the other in my future works. Thanks a lot in advance!

Lyra and Gilda? Interesting.
Really cool looking story. Got me excited! Imma follow up on it.
Allow me to say I am completely and utterly hooked. Lyra and Gilda. Adventures in the Griffin Homeland. Expanding tiny bits of background detail into full fledged story. Wonderful characterization. Chapter Title Pun. A username calling yourself a lurker. This is like, a godamn checklist of things to appeal to me. Please continue.
I made it up. It's thematically appropriate for the place, for multiple reasons. You'll see later on, once the story gets there. (And no, It isn't a WH40K reference, since I'm not overly familiar with it and only learned of the usage of the term there later.)
It's just that Storm Talon is the name of a character in the TVTropes Just For Fun Daring Do page. Who's a griffon.
Huh, I had completely forgotten about that. Which is strange, because I was more or less there for the character's creation (though I wasn't directly involved, I just hang out in the TV Tropes thread a lot). Perhaps it was subconscious? In any case, this story has nothing to do with that, so it's just a coincidence.
Just curious if it was a coincidence or possibly just subconscious.
Loved the character development, and the two questions. I assume the questions will be important in the future?
More and more questions and it seems like they only get further and further away from finding an answer. It would be really nice to finally see Gilda let go of her ways and come to the realization that Rainbow Dash did in the Wonderbolts Academy episode.
Huh, this is interesting so far. Lyra and Gilda is an interesting character combination.
Also, you have "Gilda" misspelled as "Gidla" at one point.
Quite interesting. I like the way you've developed Lyra's backstory. Kinda wish we knew more about Gilda's history, but I'm sure you'll get to that.
Very interesting so far. I like the hints about the backstory and the interactions between Lyra and Gilda.
Gilda and Lyra are OTP
Haha, just kidding. What a coincidence, my story has them paired up together too. Not romantically.
Finally, someone who can write!
Awesome job so far. I'm definitely sticking around for the rest of this.
I hope to see more character development in Gilda as the story progresses.
As someone who loves any fic that strays from the fanon Stereotype of Lyra to something reflective upon of what we actually see of her in the show - AKA music and general attitude from the show itself - Is great and deserves my time. So I'm grateful that you made this (I'm working on my own big time adventure story starring her and Octavia as it is) secondly, the duo is rather interesting, not to mention all the ways to build on it, from what I can infer, I assume you have a lot of cultural elements you're ready to delve into, in which I'm excited to read about.
My gripe as of now is the pacing, this is going very fast leaving us little time to see the early phases of the starting relationship dynamic between Lyra and Gilda. I'm left with merely scraps to work on in the events of the introductory chapters which is bound to deter some people from giving it a go. I'd reccomend seeing to either fixing this, or flesh out the scenes and the dialogue between characters in the future.
Looking forward to future updates
Thanks for the feedback! I wish more people would comment in detail. I wouldn't worry too much about the relationship moving too fast, though. It's hardly moved anywhere as it is. Gilda's stubborn dislike of most ponies and her resentment of her current situation have made sure of that.
Wow, this is really good! I like the way that you give Lyra a new personality than the typical way she's portrayed in fanon. Can't wait for more!
Looks like fun! Typo in first paragraph: Payed → Paid — payed should only be used about ropes on ships /grammar nazi.
Thanks for the catch! That's one of those typos that just looks so natural that almost everyone missed it.
This looks promising. I cannot wait to see where this leads.
I sincerely hope you have a solid direction for this story.
I would hate to see the plot of this interesting premise dissolve into disjointed exposition and get bogged down in the details.
A portrayal of Lyra that doesn't reference humans?
Plus Gilda!?
Bravo on an original concept.
I look forward to seeing where this goes.
This is turning out to be an interesting and original team-up, looking forward to what else you have planned.
Liked the flashback of lil' Lyra getting her cutiemark, she must have given Cadence alot of trouble when she was little.
"His name is Maestro Caesar Cambiare, and I'm his apprentice."DUN DUN D-- wait a minute, I have no idea who that is.
I feel for Gilda. I've had times where people try to help but it really just felt like an excuse to guilt trip me.
For the life of me, I cannot imagine Gilda using the term "Cutie Mark". She's probably use the term "Magical Butt Tattoos".
ooo, I love their fights! I would imagine they would be fun to write too.
Nothing more entertaining than two people that hate eachother(more or less) going on an adventure!
I was very excited to see this chapter. I thought you had abandoned the fic!
Keep writing!
I love the way you write Gilda. She comes across as a sympathetic character, but she's not very likable. She's a bully, a brute, and a bit of a braggart, but at the same time you want to get to know her better, to know what makes her tick and why she feels the need to push everybody away. I greatly look forward to where you take her character from here, what kind of past she has in this canon, and seeing whether or not she'll come out of this adventure the better for it.
Okay, sorry, it took me a few days to allocate some time to read this but boy do I love this kind of interaction. This is precisely what I was excited about with such a duo for an adventure story with how you portray Lyra.
Also, the entire snippet about her and Cambiare as a kid was really interesting, you seem to have a certain affinity for philosophical dialogue so hopefully we see that proceed on.
Something I could suggest however is if you could gives us more detail and really flesh out the scenes rather than just jumping from one to another. One of the most important things about adventure storytelling is getting your audience to really experience what it's like in the bustling streets of Manehattan or on a Luxury line or one a ship. I know you do a little of this, but please, give the places their due.
Well Gilda certainly has some issues and some freaky dreams, can't wait to see what those symbolize. Plus the mystery of Lyra deepens but in a fun way.
Bravo and keep them coming.
That thing about artist vs performer was really interesting to me, and I finally got it what Michelle Creber (AB's voice actor) means when she says she's a performer. She repeatedly said that in many panels at cons.
Back to the story… I'm getting a bit fed up with the dynamics between Lyra and Gilda, I hope it evolves soon.
This is a interesting pair for an adventure, but I hope to see something to shake it up a bit. Still it if you do a slow pace that's fine I'd rather the story feel more natural in the progression then an instant fix. Also it a cool thing to use Gilda since I feel she's that under used as a character in both the show and even the brony community. Although from what I'm seeing I see a kind of Sherk/Donkey friend ship coming out, but that's just me. I look forward to seeing how the rest of the story unfold. Keep up the good work.
Well, I'm going to assume the name drop means something. I suspect Gilda is about to flip tables.
Well, my prediction was wrong, but this is shaping up to be an interesting story. I'm liking the character development you've done so far.
Like I said last chapter, I'm really liking this character development. Really nice job there.
I'm really looking forward to where you take this. Good show!
It's been a long time, but I do plan on continuing this story. I've just been dealing with a lot of depression and other problems for a long time now, and I lost my will to work on this. Sorry that I've been keeping people waiting for so long.
Why is this being bumped? It hasn't been touched.
>>4626725 The author has posted a new chapter in hidden mode but fro some reason it showed up on everyone's feed (or at least mine). No promises but I hope we can expect some more awesome pony words soon !
Sorry about the bump, accidentally hit publish and had to revoke it immediately. But the good news is that the chapter is out for real now!
And yes, this is a bump to a story that I haven't touched in a year. I've been dealing with some tough stuff, and my writing skills have probably decayed in the meantime, but I do mean to finish this, one way or another.
Oh, hey, congrats on finally getting something out again. I hope you're doing better. I see some tinges that you're out of practice, but fundamentally this is nicely compelling. Gilda needs to stop being such a sad-sack and regretting her decisions. I'm sure Lyra can break through eventually!

Meg lay asleep in her bed like she did every morning when her mom woke her up for another day of school. Meg shook the morning grogginess from her head and headed for the bathroom. She took her usually place in front of the toilet for her morning piss. She let out her long stream while rubbing the base of her shaft and thinking about the day to come. After finishing she hopped in the shower and turned the hot water on. The feeling of the warm water on her nipples brought her semi-erect cock to full attention. She began to pump her cock while myriads of fantasies drifted through her head. She knew that she couldnt spend all day in the shower so to speed things up she dribbled a long line of drool onto her left hand and began massaging the juices into her asshole with one hand while continuing the masturbation with her other hand. She began to imagine what it would feel like to have someone lick her asshole while jacking her off. Then she removed the hand from her ass and began sucking her index and middle finger deep into her throat. After she thought enough lube was applied she move them back to her ass and began pushing first one and then two in and out of her ass. Meg started to imagine what it would be like to have someone fuck her asshole while someone else sucked her rock hard cock. The more she got into it the harder it was to control her moaning and soon she was letting out little whimpers each time her fingers would reach their max depth. Chris woke up to the sound of his sister getting into the shower. He lay in bed a while thinking about how unfair it was his sister got to shower first cause she usually used up most of the hot water and he always had to hurry his showers as the water got continuously colder. As he lay their Continue reading

Goat manure spontaneously combusts, sparks fire
Updated On: Aug 23 2013 09:04:28 AM EDT
A 20-foot tall pile of goat manure spontaneously combusted, sparking a fire that turned up noses for miles in Vermont.
Windsor Police Chief Stephen Soares compared the stench to the smell of "burning rubbish" in an interview with the Valley News newspaper.
The manure normally would have been spread around the Oak Knoll Dairy farm earlier in the year, but owner George Redick said lots of rain and other factors prevented that from happening.
The flames were discovered by a worker on her way to milk the farm's 800 goats early Wednesday morning.
Town Manager Tom Marsh told The Associated Press he could smell the fire at his home five miles away.
In fact, the smell was so strong the town even posted a notice on its Facebook page:
"We have been getting a lot of calls about the odor permeating our community that smells like the town is on fire," the posting said. "Here is the answer: Very early this morning a pile of goat manure spontaneously combusted. The fire department is on the scene and taking care of it. There is no danger to life or property."

Other possible uses for rice cooker?
I have a small rice cooker, which makes pretty decent rice, but there must be some other ways to use it. Any suggestions?
re: icecone
Baking? How and what? Seems odd, but definitely interesting
re: hlbones
Same as baking with a slow cooker, IF the rice cooker is capable of doing more than boil water.
Cook other grains. I'm currently in love with farro - soak it for a while first, add more water than you would for rice, and it's fabulous.
re: amyzan
I always recommend that book, too, though all I've ever used it for is cooking other grains. But, they also tell you how to steam dumplings, vegetables, legumes and puddings in the rice cooker. Also, soup and chili. I always mean to try it, but never seem to.
re: The Dairy Queen
Like you, DQ, I have the book and sometimes peruse it looking for other things to cook in my rice cooker. But in about the 3 years that I have had both the rice cooker and the book, I have never made anything else other than rice! I'm not complaining since I love the rice that it makes (both brown and "sushi" rice). One of these days I will try something else.
re: amyzan
I second the recomendation on the book. I gave a Zoji rice cooker to my daughter for her birthday, and included the book. The non-recipe beginning is definately worth taking the time to read, even though it's pretty long. Then armed with all of that info, you have the confidence to try anything! If I were you, I'd go on Amazon & search in books for "rice cooker". There are lots of books out there, especially ones geared to someone using their rice cooker as their primary cooking implement (like a college student), and trying to get people to think of the rice cooker as something other than a one-trick pony.
My hubby is addicted to steel-cut oatmeal. He makes it almost evbery morning on the porridge setting. He is even talking about taking the cooker with him when he goes to North Carolina on his annual fishing trip thisa Fall & making oatmeal and a rice/veggie pilaf for "the boys". We'll also work on a risotto recipe. Not sure I trust him with my precious Zoji, though.......
re: PattiCakes
I got a Cuckoo rice cooker a few weeks ago & have been doing steel-cut oatmeal in it, too. 1 cup of oatmeal, 3 cups of water, on the porridge setting.
The cooker came with a recipe book that, alas, was only written in Korean. I asked a firend to translate a couple of recipes and based on that, tried to cook a small piece of chuck in it...it came out great. ~1 lb braising steak, a little soy sauce, garlic, sugar and beef broth for an hour on the multi-cook setting. YUM.
Cook potatoes for mashed potatoes. It holds them at perfect temperature w/out overcooking so all you have to do is mash when ready.
Steaming veggies (incl. corn and potatoes)
Many more ideas from a free recipe book by Panansonic. Enjoy.
re: ipsedixit
I was looking through this recipe book and find it interesting that there is a recipe for chicken marsala made in a rice cooker. Not sure why someone would make chicken marsala in a rice cooker unless you did not have a stove! Same goes for shrimp in garlic sauce...
re: valerie
Many, many college students living in dorms only have a rice cooker (and maybe a hot plate). So there are people who do not have stoves, but do have a simple rice cooker. Hence these recipes.
I have discovered a wonderful new book called "Rice Cooker Meals" by Neal Bertrand that can be ordered through Amazon for under $10. Order a couple more books and it ships free. I've been making these great recipes for the past couple of weeks and have enjoyed every one of them. It's an easy way to cook and certainly expands the capability of your rice cooker. Good luck and have fun with these. They're spicy, so if you don't like heat, you can alter the recipes. You can also go to Neal's website www.RiceCookerMeals.com to get more information.

DEFINITION of 'Bubble Company'
A company whose valuation greatly exceeds that suggested by its fundamentals. The first well-documented bubble company was the South Sea Company, which caused the South Sea Bubble in 1720. A bubble company arises when speculators continuously buy up the stock in expectation of increased future earnings. However, bubble company shares often become worthless once the speculative bubble bursts.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Bubble Company'
One common characteristic of a bubble company is scandal. For example, during the dotcom bubble many internet-based firms traded at high multiples under the expectation of generating high levels of future growth. When earnings did not meet analysts' expectations, many firms began to cook the books in order to manipulate their bottom lines. Once the internet bubble burst, the individual bubble companies either went bankrupt or experienced massive drops in their share prices.

Wow, at this point my trip blog has had 957 hits from readers in 6 countries, including the Netherlands, France, US, Indonesia, Thailand, and the UK. If you want to catch up with it, it's at
If you'd like to read a few fun entries from my trip blog, they're at:
Okay, now I'm bombarding you with stories, as I will be doing for the newspaper. I have a whole cache of them prepared for when we're gone, so here you go with the next one
How does one control a boisterous biergartenful of customers, during peak World Cup action, with Germany whupping Argentina?
Worse, try managing a crowd of opinionated German diners, each of whose mother made the perfect potato pancake according to her own inimitable recipe.
This calls for a mix of Teutonic sass and beauty, alongside the experience of a 6-foot-3 German athlete, drill instructor, celebrity bodyguard, and events coordinator. Meet hosts Sandra and Rainer Ruhland, of Punta Gorda�s Sandra�s Restaurant.
Oktoberfest for such a pair should be a piece of Apfelstrudel.
The dimpled beauty on this team grew up in East Germany before the Berlin Wall fell. Rainer came from a different world: Ludwigshafen, in the West.
Already shaping up as an athlete, Rainer started equestrian camp at 7, was a tennis pro at 17, and had a trainer�s certificate by the end of high school.
Then, like all German youths, he was drafted for a 6-month army stint. On duty when the Wall came down, he marvels, �Before that, we hadn�t seen the other side. We drove over the border, and there they were, armed, mounted on tanks, ready for war, like we were the enemy!�
He enlisted for two more years, becoming an officer. �As a drill instructor, I had to motivate kids who didn�t want to be there. To expect someone to do something, you must do it yourself, so I became one of those DI�s whom they�d bet each other they could beat.� Mostly, Rainer won.
Given his experience and athleticism, a natural career choice was launching a 50-person security company covering events for universities, clubs, the women�s tennis Federation Cup, even the fierce Adler Mannheim ice hockey team.
He worked with many tennis players, including legends Anke Huber and Steffi Graf. One of his first bodyguard jobs was a trial-by-fire assignment handling volatile tennis dad Peter Graf, who earned the nickname �Papa Merciless� for his iron-fisted mismanagement of Steffi�s career and winnings.
One day, after Steffi retired, an agency called and said, �Rainer, how would you like to go to Barcelona to Formula One?�
�What do you need me to do?� he asked.
�First you drive the Porsche director�s wife to Barcelona. Then you escort the nephew of King Juan Carlos of Spain around for a week. We�ll pay you ten grand. The only problem is, we need Alfonso up at 8 every morning, and he never is.�
Rainer smiled to himself. �No problem.�
So he rousted the handsome young royal out each morning at 6. Turns out they were the same age, Alfonso showed him the time of his life in Barcelona, and he got paid for having fun.
Then a career with Porsche, as events manager on the Formula One circuit. Porsche backed Rainer�s ordering a million-dollar, 40-foot truck with a built-in 5-star kitchen, walk-in freezer and fridge, ice machine, and dishwasher. Hospitality tents flanking each side ran twin buffets where Austrian chefs served thousands of mechanics, drivers, and VIPs. Talk about Dinner Impossible.
�So now I cooked, too. Of course, I�d always liked cooking, since my mother taught me. We serve her recipes at Sandra�s.�
It was back in Germany during the 2006 World Cup that Rainer met the restaurant�s namesake while she was waitressing at a Ludwigshafen caf�. After months of her knowing exactly what he�d order, he proffered his phone number. Sandra, no easy catch, staunchly refused to call him. He finally had to ask the owner for her number.
Once he was a family man, the 18-hour-day pace became punishing. Sandra laments, �He�d be home only one day, doing laundry and paperwork. This was no life.�
Rainer knew Florida, so in 2008 they bought a house in Englewood, where they opened their own German place�in a trailer a bit more modest than his 40-foot rolling galley�next to Beach Road Snack Bar.
�In September 2011, we ran into a German friend in Punta Gorda, who knew a turnkey-ready place, just the right size. We figured, Punta Gorda�s not bad, eh?�
At first customers complained, �This food came out too fast! You microwaved it!� Wrong. Rainer knew how to cater for thousands, prep for and handle a crowd, and revel in promoting special events.
Tennis is still his life, too. His and Sandra�s 5-year-old, Nils, has been playing since he was 3. Rainer plays in the USTA, participates in Punta Gorda�s annual Shoes for Kids Tennis Shoot-Out, and gives lessons to talented kids who couldn�t otherwise afford to play. Given his exposure to the Peter Graf school of sports parenting, it�s no surprise to see him taking a nobler path.
What favorite place might you leave not smelling as good as you feel? If you�re a cigar aficionado--a cigar bar.
Pity the poor cigar smoker. Venues for smoking are few, and that stinky stogie compels even liberal barkeeps to fling up �No Cigar Smoking� signs. Smoke a cigar in the comfort of your family room, watching college ball with a Yuengling in hand? �Are you kidding me? If I�m lucky, the better half might let me smoke in the garage. With the door open. And a fan on.�
In the day, gentlemen could retire to the library to make or break deals over an after-dinner cognac and cigar, while the ladies gathered to do whatever they did in the parlor. For God�s sake, how could a lady get herself a cigar?
Lynn Davies could. She was such a serious archaeology/fine arts major at Florida State that she didn�t even know what a �Nole was until sophomore year. And yet, this studious young lady had cigar smoke in her veins. Eldest child of a Lee County judge who smoked �really nasty� cigars at home, Lynn is unquestionably her father�s daughter. �Firstborns are usually overkill and have to live up to those expectations,� she grins.
Ever since a Cuban �migr� buddy introduced Lynn to her first primo cigar in 1993, she hasn�t stopped. In fact, she claims to have smoked each of over 30 brands and countless singles, boxes, bundles, samplers, and limited editions carried by her and husband Bill�s Port Charlotte cigar emporium, Tobacco Locker.
Lynn and Bill met over cigars, on a cruise. After a year of cross-country courtship, they moved together to Florida. Wherever they went, they gathered cigars�to the tipping point where Bill made a purchase and Lynn groaned, �If we collect any more, we�ll have to open a store.� His eyes lit up, and the rest is history.
When they moved into their current location 7 years ago, they filled its 1,000 square feet with scientifically humidified inventory and began selling online (tobaccolocker.com). Four years ago, the couple added a living room to the store.
The Locker is tucked away in a mini industrial park off Collingswood, so it takes some word of mouth to draw customers in. But the word is out. Here you can sink deep into a leather club chair and relax like nowhere else.
Consider this your other living room and kitchen, where you can help yourself to a cigar and craft beer or wine, with Bill or Lynn recommending the perfect pairings. You might even have your own cedar-lined cigar locker with a brass plaque engraved �Tiger Man� or �The Godfather,� and conduct likeminded conversations with other connoisseurs.
�There�s a surge of interest in the cigar business,� says Lynn, and there�s no question that Florida, with Cuban enclaves like Tampa�s Ybor City and Miami, is its hub.
Clients come from all over--Venice, Punta Gorda, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs--seeking the quality and variety of Tobacco Locker cigars. Any given day, you might find doctors, lawn care pros like Dave Precht, CEOs, the mayor of North Port, or Vince Powers, disabled for years, all hanging out in a cloud of camaraderie. �They�re very accepting of everyone here,� says Vince. �And there�s no membership fee!�
Lynn agrees, �We have a good crowd. Smoking cigars is a social event, so when new people come in, it�s easy for them to join the conversation.�
The Davieses recently took 28 clients on a road trip to see their own cigar factory in Nicaragua�a casa (�house�) where workers roll cigars and tend the tobacco.
They give back through fundraisers for the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation, a nonprofit created by the cigar-making Fuente and Newman families to provide education and health services to poor families in the Dominican Republic. They also work with the Cigars for Warriors organization, through which they serve online customers in Afghanistan. One of them, John Callahan, just returned from his third tour.
What does Lynn�s dad, now a former cigar smoker, make of all this? He congratulates them, laughing, �When the big bust comes, you�ll have something to barter with!�
�Where you going, Kayoon?�
�To the market! I need more candy!�
Was this the whine of a chubby kid, giddy with a little extra allowance? Hardly. It was the excited cry of a 12-year-old Bangkok entrepreneur.
Kayoon (June) had spread newspapers on the floor, laid out an array of brightly wrapped treats for sale, and experienced her first taste of business success. She had exhausted her stock, made a 104-baht ($5) profit, and was already darting down a crowded Bangkok street to reinvest.
At 13, she advanced to street cooking: meatball-on-a-stick, with her own sweet-and-sour sauce, and flavored gelatin in a cup. �I was like a kid with a lemonade stand,� smiles June Tang, now chef-owner of a much larger enterprise: Royal Thai Restaurant in Punta Gorda.
Her parents had long ago left a life of poverty in rural China in search of the opportunities Bangkok offered. There they ran a successful leather-goods business, producing everything from belts to briefcases, and were no strangers to hard work, rising every day at 5 a.m. and stopping only for meals.
June worked hard, too. �I wanted a bicycle so bad, and I saved money to buy one. My parents said, �That�s a man thing, you can�t do that.� But in college, I bought a motorcycle even though everybody thought it was weird.� Off went June, buzzing around the wildly congested Bangkok streets before girls were supposed to do any such thing.
After graduation, her parents didn�t expect her ever to leave home, because extended Chinese-Thai families stay together. At the tender age of 22, she was running the family business�s leather-goods showrooms all over Thailand. �I loved it! I was good at it!� she crows.
But it wasn�t enough. June was her parents� daughter, after all, and seeking opportunities.
�I thought about America all the time, ever since I was little. It was more independent there, men and women more equal. I loved my parents, but they kept telling me, �You�re not allowed, you�re not allowed,� so I wanted to go to America.�
At 28, June moved in with a cousin�s family in Memphis, where she worked two jobs, went to school, and visited Graceland as often as possible.
Years later, her friends finally convinced her to take a break and visit West Palm Beach. At a Ft. Lauderdale country club she landed a job�as well as assistant chef Eddie Tang from Hong Kong. �I never moved back to Tennessee!� she laughs.
Working their way through two country clubs, as chef and assistant chef, June felt this was what she was always meant to do. When she and Eddie had saved enough, they agreed, �We both love to cook; let�s open our own business.�
So, 24 years ago, on a 1.5-acre parcel of land in the boondocks, on a two-lane country road, they opened Royal Thai Restaurant and raised their daughter.
As effervescent and energetic as June is, her daughter, Christina, now 27, is the picture of calm groundedness, competently learning all aspects of the family business. �Ma and I run the business, and I love cooking as much as she does. All my life, I�ve lived at the restaurant, 16 hours a day. After school, I�d come here and do homework in my office in back. Home is just a house to sleep in and hold our stuff.�
It�s hard for Westerners to fathom the love and respect that binds Asian-American families so fast. In this land of freedom that June so yearned for, kids can�t wait to get a job, their license, a car, an apartment--and leave home. �I�m first generation in the States,� says Christina. �It�s sad to me that so many Asian kids become Americanized and don�t speak the language or hold onto the culture. We still go home every year to see family.�
Christina went away to start college and had been accepted at an Orlando pastry school, her dream. But when her father fell ill with cancer, she didn�t hesitate to move home to help at the restaurant.
�I hear from my friends, so often, �Your mom is living with you?� I say, of course, it�s normal to live together, not weird at all. It�s my choice to live with my mom. It�s part of Thai culture. It�s not common for American extended families to live together, but it is in Thai culture.�
It�s a small thing, but symbolic, that Christina still gives June a good-morning and a goodnight kiss, every single day.

Not every child is fortunate enough to get gifts or even celebrate with a family during the Christmas holiday. Abuse, neglect and other difficult home conditions can make the season a long and lonely time for some children. That is why for more than 26 years, Allen County Children Services has coordinated the Adopt-A-Family program. Through this project, our families are able to receive food, clothing, toys, books and other essentials at the holiday time that on their own they would be unable to provide. We are inviting you to join us this year in spreading holiday cheer to a family in need. You can help in many different ways, including: a financial contribution to the Adopt-A-Family program, a financial contribution for a specific family or by sponsoring a family and then purchasing, wrapping and/or delivering the gifts. Please consider making a contribution or becoming a sponsor. You can contact Missy Makley or Mike Carpenter at 419-227-8590 with any questions.. Your participation in Adopt-A-Family will make the holidays special for those less fortunate and will provide you with the gift of giving! (Sponsor Form)
Voters approved the Allen County Children Services Renewal Levy on November 4th with 63% voting in favor of the issue. The levy is not an increase in taxes and will generate $1,385,869. In 2013, the combined levy revenue made up 44% of the Agency's funding. Meanwhile, state and federal funding to ACCS has continued to decline over the past five years. Last year, ACCS initiated 967 new cases for investigation and assessment involving 2,334 children. This is the 5th consecutive year reports of alleged child maltreatment have increased. Thanks to voter support the levy will allow ACCS to continue protecting abused and neglected children, strengthen families and improve the quality of our community.
Allen County Commissioners appointed two local men to the Allen County Children Services Board, Thursday, September 18th. Danny Howard (left) and Jason Stolly (right) will each serve a 4-year term. Howard is a sergeant with the Allen County Sheriff's Department. Stolly is a Producer with Stolly Insurance Group. The mission of the CSB is to protect children by supporting and strengthening families in partnership with the community. The board now has 12 members.
ACCS congratulates Demetrius Williams of Lima on receiving the Public Children Services Association of Ohio 2014 "Rising Up and Moving On Award", at the annual state conference in Columbus. The RUMO Award celebrates the accomplishments of children served by Ohio's child protection system that demonstrate success in the face of adversity. Williams, a former foster child, is set to graduate from Tiffin University in May 2015 with a degree in criminal justice. Also in the picture (from left), are ACCS employees LaKenya Johnson, Volanda Kirkman, Brad Rabley and Bonnie Monford.
When choosing a partner, mothers are not just choosing for themselves. They are choosing for their children, too. Your partner has a great influence on your child's life. Choosing the wrong partner can be, literally, deadly. No matter how much you may love your boyfriend, he may not love your child. It is important that you know the warning signs. ACCS has joined with 76 local organizations for the "Choose Your Partner Carefully Campaign". It is geared toward increasing mothers protective behaviors as well as engaging friends, family and service providers in helping mother make good choices in choosing her partner....Full Story
November is National Adoption Month. More than 100,000 children and youth in the U.S. foster care system are awaiting permanent families. National Adoption Month is a time to raise awareness about the adoption of children and youth from foster care.
ACCS along with many other agencies takes part in the initiative each November as a way to focus public attention on the urgent need for adoptive families for siblings waiting in foster care for permanent families. The focus of the month this year is on "Promoting and Supporting Sibling Connections," highlighting the importance of sibling bonds for children's development and emotional well-being. If you are interested in foster care or adoption call 419-227-8590. You can make a difference in the life of a child.

Memo To Cashman: Go Get Soriano
To: Brian Cashman
From: Andrew Marchand
Re: Rafael Soriano
CC: Scott Boras
Dear Brian:
The move now is to go get
Rafael Soriano
. That is what you should do even if
Andy Pettitte
decides to come back.
The misnomer on Pettitte is that he is some sort of sure thing. If Pettitte were to come back, he will turn 39 before the All-Star break. Last year, the break was basically midnight on his season. He had the groin and the back injuries that made him a half-season pitcher. It was one heckuva half season, but a half season nonetheless.
So even if Pettitte decides to return, what can you count on from a year older Andy?
Soriano is the last impact player on the free-agent market for the Yankees. If he locked down the eighth inning and you have
Mariano Rivera
in the ninth, then suddenly the suspect starting rotation gets a lot better.
CC Sabathia
, if his knee is fine, should be his usual self, going deep into games and resting the pen.
Phil Hughes
A.J. Burnett
, Pettitte,
Ivan Nova
, etc.. would know they'd only need to pitch six strong innings and then hand it to
David Robertson
Joba Chamberlain
Boone Logan
Pedro Feliciano
, Soriano and Rivera.
The Yankees could then be dominant at the end of games. The strategy makes perfect sense and after banking the nearly $150 millionĀyou were going to give to
Cliff Lee
, it should fit into the budget.
Now, Soriano's agent is
Scott Boras
. Boras doesn't do discounts, we all know that. Soriano deserves a nice raise from the $7.5 million he received from Tampa for his 45 saves last year. He was the difference maker in the division (along withĀthe fact the Yanks didn't try too hard in September to win the East).
Brian, ifĀyouĀpay SorianoĀelite closer money, thenĀhe likely would be willing to be a setup man.
IfĀyou put Soriano on this Yankees team, then the talk going into spring training is
all about the blowtorch put to
Derek Jeter's
image and the loss of Lee.
It is about how the Yankees can finish games like no other team in baseball.

Experts weigh in on UNH logo designs
Last week, the university acknowledged it is paying about $100,000 to a New York City firm for the marketing makeover.
"We are unable to provide the logo files as they are not our legal property," Mantz said in an email.
• The Mind Puzzle.
An N and H circumscribed by a U, with all three letters sharing common vertical elements.
"If your logo's too much of a mind puzzle, it's going to present problems," warned Scott Tranchemontagne, president of Manchester-based Montagne Communications.
Sean Owen, president of Manchester- and New York-based wedu, said it is the most progressive, and will force people to think about it. He noted that logos are part of something else — a letterhead, a web page, a sweatshirt; most people who see the logo in context will recognize the letters.
An N and H, inside a block-lettered U.
It was favored by all three experts. Owen sees it as an emblem. "Your traditional Ivy League colleges are known to have their emblems, their crests," he said.
"It's very clean, not complex," said Tranchemontagne.
"It's simple, it's clear," Bstieler said.
• Too Much Information.
An N and H share a logo with three other design elements.
"It's most grounded in tradition," he said, "but it needs to be simple and unique." He noted some people thought the field of stars represented snow, and thought that was a turnoff.
"It has a lot of different things going on," Tranchemontagne said. "Some people try to do too much with a logo."
"It's busy," Owen said.
Tranchemontagne pointed out that the current logo is very horizontal — Thompson Hall on the left with the name of the university stretching far off to the right.
Owen said there is a huge range in the price for a new logo.
If the package includes market research and focus groups, $100,000 would be about correct.
The university has said the price includes a redrawing of the university seal and guidelines that specify how the trademark can be used. Mantz said the money comes from a discretionary fund of privately raised dollars, and the project is seen as crucial by the president's cabinet.
