I know a lot of us are still getting used to Windows 7, having only recently upgraded or purchased a new computer with it preinstalled. But guess what? Windows "8" is right around the corner, and you can try it for yourself today by visiting http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/consumer-preview. Microsoft has released a free preview version of Windows 8 to the public that, on the whole, will be largely the same as the full release, minus some bugs that will be ironed out between
Part of my job at the library is helping individuals with computers through our free Training on Demand program. I help patrons learn how to use their computers, how to surf the Web, how to use Microsoft Office, and even help them optimize their computers. In the six years I've been doing this, I've noticed that there is a lot of misinformation regarding computers floating around. Here are just a few of the misconceptions I've encountered:
My computer is running slowly; it must have a virus.
That is a possibility, especially if you're not running any Internet security software or you haven't updated it in a long time. If this is the case, you need to fix the situation as soon as possible! However, it is just as likely that you've got too many background programs running at once. Computer manufacturers and retailers like to treat new computers as advertising space for software that you don't need; all that excess is probably clogging up your system.
You may have noticed that eBooks and eReaders are catching on with people. With reports of ridiculously large sales numbers around the holidays, such as the one million Kindles sold each week of the 2011 holiday season, one gets the feeling that these gadgets might just have some staying power.
At the Central Rappahannock Regional Library we have been delighted to offer the public free eBooks to check out through services like EBSCOhost and OverDrive.
Overall, the public seems to be equally delighted with the service as our circulation statistics for eBooks continues to climb.
EBooks from the library have a number of advantages:
I don't want to brag, but our library has some fantastic databases that you need to examine if you haven't already at librarypoint.org/articles_databases. One of the most useful of these databases is the Testing and Education Reference Center, the ultimate resource for standardized test preparation and career advancement. Whether you're a high school student going to college, a college student advancing to graduate school, or preparing for a professional exam in careers such as firefighting, nursing, or law enforcement, chances are you'll find what you need at the Testing and Education Reference Center.
Media ownership in the 21st century is a trickier concept than ever before. In light of the growing percentage of our books, music, movies, and software that is purely digital, that is to say, downloaded directly from the Internet, how is ownership defined? When music came on CDs and other physical formats, it was pretty easy to say, "This is my CD. I bought it. I do with it as I please." Of course, the recording industry would disagree, to the extent that while you might have purchased the medium, you only licensed the media. Now that the medium is largely ephemeral, so too is ownership. Add onto that digital rights management (DRM) that locks down and controls what you do with your "licensed" goods and ownership becomes a ghost of its former self. But do we really care?
A public-service tech announcement to online CRRL patrons: both Microsoft and Mozilla have released updates to their web browsers, which I recommend you install if possible. These can be downloaded from the links below.
An observation worth noting: I have recently been approached by a growing number of people wanting to build a web site for their business. This would have been a much more daunting process even a few years ago. However the Web has evolved to meet these needs more easily. There now exist many online storefronts through which small businesses can be run. Though I am unable to recommend one service over another, either through direct experience or secondary knowledge, here are a few of the more popular selections that can help anyone get started.
Modern computers are many times more powerful than they need to be for most of the things we use them for. Simply writing papers, surfing the Web, watching videos, playing games, etc. . . such tasks don't take full advantage of these machines' potential and when they're not in use, well . . . they're not in use. They could be doing so much more.
If you love to try out new iPhone apps (and who doesn't, when they're free?), you'll want to download two new apps that now include CRRL's results. Called pic2shop and Book Bazaar, the apps are free and help you find library books when you're out shopping. For example, if you're at a bookstore and wondering if we have a title, scan the barcode with your phone and pic2shop will tell you if we have it. (Pic2shop is also great for comparison shopping for other items.) With Book Bazaar you can type in the title, author, keyword or ISBN. Either way, both apps are free and downloadable through Apple's iTunes App Store.
This short video shows Pic2shop in action at a Border's book store.
If you've already purchased the RedLaser app ($0.99 in iTunes App Store) you can also get results from our library.
I shouldn't have to tell you the music CD is dead, as is every audio format that came before it, with the possible exception of vinyl, the fax machine of the music world. Music is digital, end of story. Digital music differs from any of its progenitors in its lack of physicality; there is no disc that you can put on your shelves, no album liner notes that you can flip through unless of course you create all of that yourself, but doesn't that defeat the point? If you have a digital music collection of over 6000 tracks, you're not going to take the time, spend the money, or use the space to create physical CDs for each of those albums. Still, we need to be able to keep track of our music and that's sometimes easier said than done.

Book Description:"Nursing Research" addresses the issue of how to undertake qualitative research, which is often more appropriate to nursing than is quantitative research. Throughout the book, all issues dealt with are illustrated by reference to nursing studies. The book begins by considering the sorts of problems that can be best tackled by qualitative approach and the major schools of thought these relate to such as ethnography, ethnology and phenomenology. The methods of participant observation, interviewing and case studies are then described and the issues of preparing research proposals, sampling, generalisation of finding and bias are considered. Finally, data gathering and methods of analysis are presented.

July 03, 2013
Governor Bob McDonnell's office is weighing in on the arrest of a UVa student by Alcoholic Beverage Control for assaulting an officer. Those charges have since been dropped, but the Governor's office issued this statement:
"The Governor is aware of this issue. The Secretary of Public Safety has spoken with ABC officials and is monitoring the matter closely. Following the court's recent action, ABC initiated a further, more in depth review of the incident."
Undercover ABC officers attempted to arrest 20 year old Elizabeth Daly while she was walking out of Harris Teeter, thinking a case of sparkling water she had bought was beer. The student, who says she panicked and didn't know they were law enforcement officers, drove off, striking two of the officers.
The ABC says they are reviewing the incident, and that an earlier review by the agency found no wrongdoing.

Hobart, IN
There is no need to worry about a lack of great restaurants in Hobart, as many fine dining choices in the area will become your new favorites. The New Hong Kong restaurant, located on East Ridge Road, is technically classed as "fast Chinese". That does not mean the food is not great; in fact, the restaurant is one of the most highly rated Chinese restaurants in Indiana. Once you have tried the Chinese, check out Philly Steak & Fresh Lemonade, another cozy little diner offering up fantastic food. The staff is also warm and friendly, known for going above and beyond with service.
If you enjoy a night of dancing or even just socializing over a few drinks, you will find that you have easy access to nightlife in nearby Indianapolis. A few of the most popular clubs and bars are just a few miles away from Nora. For a true Irish experience, try the Claddaugh Irish Pub on E 96th Street. If comedy is what you crave, spend some time laughing at Morty's Comedy Joint, also located on the same street as the Claddaugh Irish Pub. Landsharks Bar is close as well and is known to be the best singles bar in the area.
One of the best highlights of the greater Indianapolis area, Landmark Keystone Art Cinema showcases mostly foreign films and plays. The cinema even hosts its own cocktail lounge, so if you enjoy spending time viewing art with your friends, this is the place you should gather. Landmark Theatre is no traditional theater, as you can always expect to see the latest and greatest in indie and foreign films from all across the world. Think of it like an upscale movie theater for adults where you can get absorbed in culture and share a few laughs over drinks afterwards.

Hello to all of my watchers!
If you couldn't already tell, my DeviantArt page has seen a change in the past week or two; I am now a Premium member! I had only been on the mobile site via my phone for awhile now; this is the first time I looked on my computer and actually had the opportunity to see my own page
gifted me a 3-month premium membership! To , I cannot thank you enough! Not only is the site much easier to use and display my Deviations, but this is perfect now that I'm uploading everything I have been working on for the past several months! You did not have to do that, but I can't tell you how grateful I am; that was so very kind and as I said, I cannot thank you enough! I'm obviously VERY excited to start messing around with all of the Premium Member-only features that DeviantArt offers
So with that, I will be uploading a ton of stuff here shortly; hopefully over a period of time, rather than putting, like, 20 Deviations all at once LOL. Some of the stuff will just be in pencil with plans to ink and possibly color; but I figured it would be better to have those on here than nothing at all.
As far as what I've been working on; I've completed a Petey Piranha commission for . I put more time into that piece than I ever have for an inked drawing of that size, so I'm very much looking forward to receiving it! Once he does, I will upload it here as well. I also completed a 2-page comic cover (when printed, it acted as a wrap-around cover) that features characters from the Smash Bros. series. This was auctioned off at Packrat Comics' Free Comic Book Day event last month, so I will be uploading that as well. The rest will be sketches and drawings along those lines . In terms of on-going projects, I have a few commissions, one of which includes a SatAM-styled Robotnik (if anyone is interested in commissions, let me know! I haven't really given much thought to taking commissions, as I'm a bit crunched on time. But if your interested, feel free to send me a note ). I am also the penciler on the upcoming Packrat Comic, which is a series my comic book store has started (I'll post more info on that the closer the first issue comes to being completed!); and I will be doing something of an interactive comic book to act as the cut-scenes to the Sonic & the Seal of Solomon fan-game.
In terms of what else I've been up to; I've been continuing to work as a student to , and she (as always) has taught me so much! I also was a part of a live-stream for Tracy Yardley!; had the opportunity to meet Mike Pollock (the voice of Eggman), go to dinner and spend the evening with him (he was a special guest at FCBD at Packrat); and I will be attending this year's Sonic Boom event in New York City! I feel very blessed for all of the opportunities that I have been given; never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would get to meet and work with people such as Dawn Best and Mike Pollock
So thank you to everyone who has stuck with me, and I look forward to sharing more of my Deviations with you
Oh, and one last thing; check out . They are doing a massive collaboration with as many people as they can get, each person contributing a Kirby drawing to put on a single picture. If you're interested in joining, check it out here: da-real-kirby-club.deviantart.… The end date is June 14th for it as well
And here's a link to my picture with Dawn Best, Mike Pollock and my friends Garreth, Chris and Jonathan at my local comic store (Packrat) for Free Comic Book Day (I'm the one with the white, "Sonic World's Fastest Hedgehog" t-shirt ) www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbi…

We need oxygen to survive, but inhaling it in it's purest form may have health benefits and healing that you can see right before your eyes.
It's a procedure that has patients breathing pure oxygen for an extended period of time and wounds actually heal right before your eyes.
Hilda Higgs had breast cancer in the mid 80s and is now cancer free. Unfortunately, not long ago she had a wound appear in the same spot, which stayed open for months
"I had to be careful and change the dressing and everything. It was just something that I wasn't used to doing," said Higgs.
Thirty treatments later and one more procedure she was healed.
"Oh it was wonderful," Higgs said. "I had a lot of little veins that were just sort of red there. Well that started pinking up and going away and it looks much better. The whole area looks much better."
Higgs underwent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. The patient enters a chamber and breathes 100 percent oxygen under pressure for 90 minutes.
"When you breath pure oxygen your red blood cells are suffused with it and because you are under pressure, that damaged tissue has an easier time picking up the oxygen to start the healing," said nurse Roberta Lawrence.
Patients have the procedure once a day. Anywhere from a few treatments to 60. You can see a difference within minutes.
"I've seen graphs go in and be purple at the start of the treatment and be pink at the end of it," said Lawrence.
As for side effects, some experience ear pressure. In extreme circumstances there is also a possibility that your lung could burst, but UVa nurses say they've never seen anything like that actually happen.
People of all ages can undergo the procedure. At UVa they've had someone as old as 80 and as young as two.

A couple years ago I bought a festive lampshade for $1 during after-Christmas sales….and it's been waiting for me to use it ever since! Recently, I decided to give the shade a new look, and I shared the makeover at Infarrantly Creative.
Transformed Lampshade
Magazine Christmas Tree
Here's an easy recycling project just in time for last minute Christmas decor, from Jacky at Small Home Love. All you need is an old magazine and a Christmas movie to watch while you are making this project.
Paint Chip Christmas Trees
Britni from Hubby Made Me has a great way for you to recycle those stacks of paint chips you bring home every time you go to the home improvement center.
Christmas Village Makeover
Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage discovered this little church–part of a Christmas village–at Goodwill. She was willing to shell out $1.50 for it, know that there was a way to give it a facelift.
Coastal Christmas Tree Art
At The Space Between, Karah shares the perfect Christmas craft for anyone who loves to collect pretty things from along the seashore, like sea glass and driftwood.
Styrofoam and Scrap Wood Christmas Decor
At Design, Dining + Diapers, Taryn used a piece of scrap plywood–leftover from another project–and styrofoam cranberries– pulled out of the bottom of the Christmas boxess–to make a cute holiday sign.
Holiday Sign from Reclaimed Wood
At Simply Thrifty, Megan says, "I've been seeing some beautiful signs on Pinterest for awhile and had the desire to create one for our household. A few weeks ago, while driving to pick up our Christmas tree, I drove past some old fence wood on the side of the road." It was tricky to fit the wood and the Christmas tree into her van, but Megan did it!
Vintage Hardware Christmas Tree
You've never seen junk look so festive and cute until you've seen what Kathy made at Petticoat Junktion. She crafted an adorable holiday decoration using an old cabinet door and funky hardware pieces from her extensive collection.

Fixing the Hall of Fame Part 4: Building Consensus
By Daniel Greenia
Part 4a Renewed Eligibility for 20-Year Retirees / A Ballot
Continual research into history leads to an evolving understanding of past events. The same is certainly true for baseball history. The statistical and historical knowledge are ever expanding. Our understanding of players quality, and their standing among the greats, advances a great deal in twenty years. This being
Part 3c Escalating Increments
We have seen how the 5% rule tends to restrict voters from giving all the top candidates a thorough consideration over a period of years. Another factor contributing to this is a common attitude towards first-year candidates. To be a First-Ballot hall of famer is usually seen as a special honor. Due to this, many voters will only vote for a player in his first year if he is a no-brainer, an all-time great player. Combine this with a wait-and-see
Fixing the Hall of Fame Part 3: Plausible Fixes
By Daniel Greenia
In a better world, fixing the Hall would be simple. Face it; you or I or anyone could come up with a better system for identifying and honoring baseballs greatest players. Start from scratch: dump the BBWAA and develop an expert electorate; dump the simplistic up/down voting method with its 75% supermajority requirement; dump the VC and any other second chance reviews; dump the limits on candidates

Fixing the Hall of Fame
By Daniel Greenia
Part 2a Its Too Big: The Screeners and the 5% Rule
The hall of fame ballot screening committee of the BBWAA was instituted for the 1968 election to cut the ballot down to a reasonable size. Due to expansion and the proliferation of role players, some recent ballots had included more than 60 candidates.
Jump ahead to 1978. The screening committee was scrutinizing the list of 10-year players
Fixing the Hall of Fame
By Daniel Greenia
Introduction: What is a Hall of Famer?
Jim Rice finally was voted into the Hall of fame last year. Should he be there? Were there better players on the ballot that should have been elected before him? Considering the process that got him there, should he feel honored?
Before we can begin to assess whether a player should or should not be in the Hall, we need to have an answer to this basic

Menards - poor service in the new golden valley mn store

- More Less
I am a 70 year old woman who made two trips to the new Golden Valley, MN store for mulch.The first trip was to get 20 bags and the second was to get 25.
I got my order, paid, drove to the yard and was told they called for someone to help me load. Well, on the first trip there were two young, strapping young men helping one customer, I waited, ask for help loading, one finally came after 15 minutes. In the mean time I had started loading myself. One helped with SEVEN of the twenty bags and said he would have the next 25 on a cart for me when I came back for the rest.
Guess what, I returned and there was no one and no cart loaded and ready for me. I asked another young person if he would load the next 25 bags while I paid and drove around to get it. Again guess what, I got there and nothing had been done, but he was strapping a small bandaid and said he had a sore. So we started to load my 25 bags.
Another couple came and he left me to my loading while he talked with them re: mulch. Clearly didn't want to work too hard. Menawhile I did ALL OF THE LOADING AND UNLOADING into my car MYSELF while he talkked with the coupld that had drawn him away. He came as I was putting the last of the bags into my car.
TERRIBLE!!!! I had hoped with this beautiful new store that the service would be helpful. I say that all THREE OF THESE YOUNG GUYS ARE LAZY and that they need customrer service training. Remember a 70 year old woman would have appreciated some service at a higher level and I am a good tipper.
Golden Valley this is not good. We also shop that Menards in St. Croix Falls, WI for our cabin needds and we have nothing but good to say about those folks.
They have helped us EVERY single time we have needed a bit of help.GOLDEN VALLEY WAKE UP train your people.bce72f4
Heartless Apr 19, 2012
Don't care that you're 70, that's no excuse to expect others to do things for you. Menards yard is "SELF SERVICE." If they did not explain that to you well then there's the problem. I highly doubt anyone just ignored you. You got it loaded just fine, yet you complain cause you had to do a little work. SHAME ON YOU.0 0 Reply
Menards Guest Service Apr 17, 2012
Menards Team Members are not allowed to accept tips. Also, if you wish something to be done about this, you should go to the Front Desk in the Golden Valley store and ask to speak with the General Manager. Explain to him your situation in detail and he will most likely reprimand the Outside Yard Team Members responsible as well as come up with a solution to remedy the issue with you.0 0 Reply

Each Dawn I Die Lyrics - Necromantia
[Manowar cover]
Passing through the storm -
Led by Demons - walk between the
World of men and gods -
Cast no shadows - draw no light.
I rape the priestess on pagans night.
I taste the serpents poison
On the lips of the one I love.
She brings this gift of witchcraft.
I wear the cat-skin-gloves.
Apples of youth when I wrought
Mischief, hung in a tree to rot
In the sun.
Reborn in the middle of the
Final orgy the gift of slavery
To the chosen one.
Suicide Suicide don't you know
Me-call to the Master - he will
Come. - He will bring out
Ressurection-cloaked in darkness -
He has won.
Smoke of my sacrifice.
Journey to the Isle of the
Grant my soul your glory.
At night time - I'm your guest.
Only I know why
Each dawn I die.

While this week does bode well for music extravaganzas in our fair city, I'm a bit disappointed that I must remind you of Jeff Tweedy's 'solo' show tonight at The Brown Theatre.
Yes, that Jeff Tweedy. Of Uncle Tupelo and Wilco acclaim, as well as other solid bands, Tweedy has truly secured a spot amongst top American singer/songwriters. The bands he has fronted and been a part of are those that you can set your life-watch by. It's almost like a 'hey, remember that time we were in ________ and first listened to 'I Am Trying to Break Your Heart'?! I really knew then that I was going to break up with you because you hated that song.' Ha! Oh come on, I'm not a monster, but you've had to have had a similar experience to some degree. If you haven't you must roll out tonight, get more of Mr. Tweedy in your head, and likely just get out more in general.
Good news for some of you heads, is that the set lists I've seen and/or heard of have a lot of Wilco and Uncle T on them so even you 'purists' will NOT be disappointed. In me you trust, xoxo.

Activists: Thousands killed in Syria by barrel bombs
Tuesday, April 29, 2014
ISTANBUL - At least 2,508 people have been killed in Aleppo since November 2013 during barrel bomb attacks allegedly carried out by President Bashar al-Assad's regime, according to the London-based Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR).
The group said 940 barrel bombs were used during these operations.
A barrel bomb is a type of explosive made of a barrel filled with highly-explosive substances, oil and shrapnel. Barrel bombs are often dropped from Syrian army helicopters on targets.
At least 100,000 have been killed and according to the U.N. 3.5 million internally displaced and 2.5 million forced to seek refuge abroad in the civil war that erupted in Syria after anti-government protests in March 2011 were met with a violent crackdown.

WOONSOCKET — The City Council faces a busy agenda tonight that includes requests to lease office space at City Hall to U.S. Rep. David N. Cicilline and grant a tax deferment for a local mill building.
The office space lease was negotiated by Mayor Leo T. Fontaine and will provide the city with monthly rent of $100, according to an ordinance submitted to the council for action Monday evening in Harris Hall.
WOONSOCKET – A man charged with shooting at an occupied car on Florida Street July 14 was back in police custody Thursday after allegedly being involved in a bar fight at Brews and Cues on Rathbun Street.
Justin R. Menard, 26, of 20 Fifth Ave., Woonsocket, was charged with felony assault with a dangerous weapon, aggravated assault, simple assault and battery and resisting arrest after he was located by police at 11:24 p.m. Thursday.
MILLVILLE - Even at the young age of 11, John J. Mullaly knew a career in the fire service was probably inevitable.
His father, John J. Mullaly Sr., was a Millville firefighter, and his grandfather, John H. Mullaly, served on the department from 1925 to the 1940's, many of those years as fire chief.
BURRILLVILLE — It was only fitting that two winless teams aiming to jump start their respective seasons — or save, depending if you're a pessimist or an optimist — engaged in a serious tussle in which the outcome wasn't settled until the dying seconds.
In the end, Lincoln proved to be a bit more resilient in an 18-12 win over Burrillville Saturday at Alumni Field. Kyle Jackson broke a 12-12 affair with 30.8 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the senior wideout hauling in a 36-yard pass that gave the Lions the lead for the first time.
PAWTUCKET — This year's Woonsocket High football team bears little resemblance to the Villa Novan squads that captured Division II Super Bowl victories at the end of the previous two seasons. Graduation took its toll, along with injuries to two or three key players expected to lead the 2011 squad.
WOONSOCKET – Vimala Phongsavanh believes the School Committee on which she serves has too many subcommittees and wants her peers to take on a restructuring of the list of 19 panels.
Phongsavanh has offered the committee members a Power Point presentation detailing her concerns that members are spread too thin in their assignments to the subcommittees, and that consolidation of the list could result in better transparency and accountability for the boards.
CRANSTON – First Lady Michelle Obama stopped in Rhode Island Friday to help raise money for her husband's re-election campaign next year.
Mrs. Obama attended a pricy function at the East Side home of former Providence Mayor Joseph Paolino. Tickets for the function ranged from $1,000 to attend the event, $5,000 to get a photo taken with Mrs. Obama to $35,800 for a private reception and photo opportunity. Among those expected to attend was Gov. Lincoln Chafee, a Republican turned Independent who served in the Senate with the president.
CUMBERLAND – For opposing Division I schools, there's no secret strategy to beat Cumberland High.
While the Clippers possess a talented squad this fall, if the opposition can keep multiple all-stater Stephanie Ribeiro away from the ball the odds are favorable that a victory will come its way.
East Greenwich witnessed that on Friday.
Despite blanket coverage all afternoon, Ribeiro managed to still score three goals in their crossover match. And that was all that was needed to upset the previously-unbeaten Avengers, 3-1, at the Tucker Field complex.
Charles Haroian
WOONSOCKET- Kachadoor Charles Haroian 78, formerly of Woonsocket, died Tuesday at St. Luke's Hospital in New Bedford, MA. He was the husband of Therese H. (Girard) Haroian.
Born in Auburn, MA he was the son of the late Harry and Seranoush (Harootian) Haroian. Charles was a US Air Force Veteran of the Korean War. He worked as a fork lift operator for the Peterson Puritan Aerosol Co. for several years. Charles also worked as a barber for several years. He was a former member of the DAV.
Deborah A. Pratt
JOHNSTON, RI- Deborah A. Pratt, 56, of Simmons Village, Johnston, RI, died Thursday, September 29, 2011 in the Woonsocket Health and Rehabilitation Center.
Born in Boston, she was the daughter of the late Leo and Anne (Ranahan) Pratt.
She is survived by her brother, Paul Pratt and his wife Rebecca Pratt of Eastham, MA. and their two children Tyler and Ryan.
Private funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Fournier and Fournier Funeral Home, 99 Cumberland St, Woonsocket, RI. Please visit www.fournierandfournier.com for guestbook.

Although standout actress Aishwarya Rai's pretty face adorns the cover of the newly released The Rough Guide to Bollywood Gold, the music presented here has little to do with the young crossover star of Bride and Prejudice. The tunes, however, are all representative of the golden era of Bollywood films that period between 1960 and 1980, when Indian cinema was at its peak. Compiled by famed BBC radio personality DJ Ritu, Bollywood Gold is both an audible treat and an educational jewel. You'll learn that, while the Beatles and other rock musicians of the '60s were enthralled by South Asian music ("Norwegian Wood" and the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black" come to mind), Indian composers were going in the opposite direction, gradually learning from Western sounds. Certain tracks like Kishore Kumar's "Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana" have a traditional style with the backing of Indian instruments, but Rahul Dev Burman's "Mehbooba Mehbooba" is quite a departure featuring electric guitars and a rock 'n' roll backbeat. Listen to R.D. Burman's "Aaja Aaja Main Hoon Pyar Tera" and it's clear the vocals are inspired by American rock with a trumpet straight out of a mariachi song. On the gorgeous love song "Tere Chehre Se Nazar Nahin," the composers deliver a tune that sounds genuinely Indian by way of Las Vegas, thanks to the lush Italian-like string arrangement in the background. It may throw some listeners for a loop, but that is what's so impressive.

Naruto Susanoo Ribcages Power
Skyrim » Magic - Spells & enchantments
Skyrim » Magic - Spells & enchantments
Added: 27/02/2014 - 02:59PM
Updated: 21/03/2014 - 07:53AM
Last updated at 7:53, 21 Mar 2014 Uploaded at 14:59, 27 Feb 2014
Adds spelltomes for the Susanoo Ribcages (Sasuke's, Itachi's and Madara's) from Naruto to the vendors throughout Skyrim .Once you activate the spell, you will be invincible as long as it's active. While it's active it will constantly drain magicka and when you run out of it, the Susanoo will deactivate. You can also deactivate it at will by using the spell again anytime you want.You can also get the spell via console by typing "help susanoo" and then "player.addspell *spell id*" if you're lazy like me :P
-added new sound effects and special effects to Susanoo. There are 2 versions:
normal version: normal activation sound, normal deactivation sound and a kamui+slow time activation effect. (its just the effect, it wont actually slow time when activating)
alternative version: normal activation sound, normal deactivation sound and only the slow time activation effect. (again, its just the effect, it wont actually slow time when activating)
-small update, better flame effects for blue and purple Susanoo
-changed flame effect on Itachi's Susanoo to normal flames with a red glow
-First and third person work for Ribcage, third person works for flames.
-Script now drains magicka and deactivates when magicka reaches 0. This value can be adjusted at will in the creation kit.
-Removed magicka requirement when activating and deactivating.
-All three models are in one esp and can be bought from any basic spell vendor. You can buy all three versions and can switch between them at will. There are no consequences or bugs from switching between colors.
- the spell is now toggleable (you can deactivate Susanoo by using the spell again) and not craftable anymore. It was added to the vendors in Skyrim
- updated esp (credits to ninjademon)
- added Itachi's and Madara's ribcages
- initial release
1.) deactivate the last version you had
2.) launch the game and save
3.) exit the game and deinstall the last version you had
4.) install the new version and enjoy ;)
NMM: Just activate it
Manual: Drag the data folder to your Skyrim directory
NMM: Deactivate it
Manual: Delete everything you dragged into your data folder while installing it
Ninjademon found an issue but it's really minor and requires a very specific set up.
1) Have bound armors installed
2) have a mod that auto casts bound armors (example would be smart cast)
3) Have Susanoo active.
What will happen is the bound armors will replace Susanoo, but the toggle spell will still think it's active. As a result, you have to cast it twice to reactivate it. Casting it once officially deactivates the ability while casting it again reactivates it.
This will ONLY happen if you have something that autocasts bound armors whle you're using Susanoo. And the only reason it does that is because bound armors uses the same slots as Susanoo.
Also, do NOT go into vamplord/werewolf form while Susanoo is active. You will be unable to revert back to a human. Make sure you point that out as well. UPDATE(as of V1.4): if you transform while Susanoo is active you'll just have to wait until you're out of magicka and it will disappear automatically.
Use whatever you want but give credits to the rightful owners/creators.
- to Bethesda for this awesome game
- to Kpheonix57 and Loris Cangini for the Susanoo meshes and textures (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27387/?)
- to SkyrimBound6 for his true bound armors script (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30462/?)
- to ninjademon for updating the esp and scripting alot and making the spell much more useful and interesting!!!

'Songs for the Deaf' and 'Train Shots'
Local publisher Burrow Press bets on the short story; readers ought to as well
Published: March 5, 2014
The world of American letters has seethed with internal debate over the popularity and/or utility of short-story collections for almost as long as it's been pumping them out. Despite the very few breakout sales successes one can point to (let's see: J.D. Salinger's Nine Stories; more recently, George Saunders' Tenth of December), writers of short-story collections may receive critical acclaim or literary awards, but commercial success is unlikely. More often they share the experience of Edgar Allan Poe, Sherwood Anderson and William Faulkner (no slouches in the acclaim department): confusion on the part of the publisher, shrugs on the part of the reviewers, and dead-eyed disinterest from the book-buying public.
Yes, there are some signs of popular success. Some established authors – writers who've made names with best-selling novels or decades of glowing reviews and awards, like Stephen King or Alice Munro – have been able to sell the heck out of a story collection. Tenth of December did remarkably well, spending large chunks of 2013 hovering on various best-seller lists, but even Saunders isn't posting the numbers of your average vampire novel. More popular than straight-up story collections are "novels in stories," like Jennifer Egan's A Visit From the Goon Squad or David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas – a collection of linked stories qua chapters, featuring the same characters and telling the same events from different angles. This approach may be the thin end of the wedge in getting the public to open up to short stories, with their multitude of voices requiring readers to readjust to a new world and grasp a new personality with each new piece.
Accepting the challenge, local publisher Burrow Press has made a commitment to the form. Five of its six most recent books are short-story collections, and two more single-author collections are planned for 2015. This may have roots in the fact that Burrow Press is a nonprofit, and therefore can disregard the profit motive – as do university presses and literary journals, many underwritten by donations and most of them outlets for the (often very fine) work turned out by America's burgeoning MFA writing programs.
"While I think it's inaccurate to say the major publishing houses have abandoned short story collections, it's true that many collections get overlooked or passed on, and that leaves room for small presses to pick up excellent work," says Burrow Press publisher Ryan Rivas. This month Burrow Press releases two collections of note.
Vanessa Blakeslee, an Orlando resident, serves forth an assortment of men and women (mostly women) on the edge in Train Shots. Nasty brushes with a cruel world beset these people: lost dogs, bad jobs, jail, suicides. Refreshingly, Blakeslee avoids the common fault of placing all her stories in a blue-collar milieu, as though this will lend them some sort of down-home cred; her characters span the American class system and are (or feel) no less downtrodden for it. The darkness inherent in each story's arc belies a preoccupation with surfaces – most apparent in "Princess of Pop," a brilliant take on the Britney myth – leaving the reader somewhat depressed, but hoping for more. This being Blakeslee's debut collection, no doubt this wish will be fulfilled.
