Ferris Hosts Motorcycle Safety Classes Through Grant
Schools around the country are starting to wind down the school year, and students and teachers alike are ticking down the days to graduation and summer vacation. There is at least one local classroom that won't stand empty during the hot summer months. In fact, May 1 marked the first classes for students enrolled in Ferris State University's Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic Rider Course, reports The Leader and Kalkaskian. This instruction is held each summer weekend at Forest Area High School, near Fife Lake. Courses run from May to early August. The Basic Rider Course is a class developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation to provide beginning riders with a complete introduction to motorcycling. The 18-to-20-hour course covers everything from pre-riding inspections right on through to throttle and clutch control basics, as well as braking and cornering techniques. MSF trained and certified instructors, called Rider Coaches, lead students through four to six hours of classroom instruction and approximately 12 hours of hands-on riding experience.

Review of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class
Classy and refined, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class rises above the competition with its confident road manners and exquisite build quality.
- Safety
Strong acceleration from V8 engines, quiet interior, many available luxury features, comfortable seating, excellent craftsmanship.
Ride quality may be floaty for some, second row does not adjust fore and aft, GL550's full load of features jacks up the price.
What's New for 2009
For the 2009 Mercedes GL-Class, a new diesel-powered GL320 Bluetec model replaces the previous GL320 CDI. The Bluetec model's cleaner emissions allow it to be 50-state legal.

What's New for 2009
For the 2009 Mercedes GL-Class, a new diesel-powered GL320 Bluetec model replaces the previous GL320 CDI. The Bluetec model's cleaner emissions allow it to be 50-state legal. There are also some revisions to the GL's standard and optional equipment. Highlights include an enhanced rear-seat entertainment system, hard-drive-based functionality for the navigation system, an updated COMAND interface with a 6.5-inch display and a dedicated iPod connector.
In the full-size luxury SUV segment, many automakers consider "the more ostentatious, the better" to be a design goal. That's why it's nice to see that the 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is all about understated class. The GL boasts mechanical sophistication and superior craftsmanship that set it apart from other blinged-out, seven-passenger SUVs. Not surprisingly, this big Benz has been a favorite of ours ever since it debuted two years ago.
This year marks the debut of the diesel-fueled GL320 Bluetec, which replaces the previous GL320 CDI. Unlike the CDI, which wasn't available for sale in California or California-emissions states, the GL320 is 50-state certified, thanks to a new technology that cleans up the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6's emissions by injecting urea into the exhaust. Like the CDI before it, the GL320 Bluetec offers significantly better fuel economy than its gasoline-propelled counterparts do. It also provides adequate power for those who can live without the authoritative thrust of the optional V8s. Price is a consideration, too. Not only does the GL320's sticker price start at $1,000 less than the GL450, but the 2009 GL320 also qualifies for an $1,800 federal tax credit.
The GL-Class models compete with full-size luxury SUVs like the Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, Lexus GX 570 and Lincoln Navigator. The domestics certainly have some advantages, particularly in regard to maximum cargo capacity, but they can't match the GL's polish and on-road handling. The GX 570 is just as opulent as the GL, but its demeanor is more off-road-oriented. That leaves the Q7 as the vehicle closest in concept and execution. There's even a forthcoming diesel-powered Audi Q7 TDI to match up against the GL320 Bluetec. You'll certainly want to look at both, but you can't go wrong with the classy and capable 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is a large seven-passenger luxury SUV available in three trim levels. The GL320 Bluetec and GL450 are equipped identically except for their power plants and wheels. The 320 comes standard with diesel power and 20-inch wheels, while the 450 boasts a V8 but downsizes to 19-inch wheels. Standard equipment for both models includes a sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, MB Tex leatherette upholstery, power-adjustable heated front seats, a power 50/50-split-folding third-row seat, power rear quarter-windows, the COMAND multimedia interface and an eight-speaker audio system with a six-CD changer, Bluetooth, an SD card reader and an auxiliary audio jack.
Options for the GL450 and GL320 Bluetec include a Premium I package, which adds a power liftgate, auto-dimming mirrors, keyless ignition and entry, front-seat memory functions, a power steering column, a 115-volt AC power outlet, parking sensors with a rearview camera and a hard-drive-based navigation system with voice activation, real-time traffic and Zagat restaurant reviews. Also part of this package is a Harman Kardon surround-sound system with satellite radio and HD radio. The premium II package includes all of the Premium I equipment plus adaptive bi-xenon headlights, tri-zone climate control and rear air-conditioning. The heating package adds a heated steering wheel and rear seats, while the full-leather package upgrades the already well-crafted interior. In addition, the GL450 and GL320 Bluetec can be equipped with a GL appearance package that adds 20-inch wheels and various metallic trim enhancements.
The GL550 includes most of the above equipment as standard and adds 21-inch wheels and unique exterior styling details. Stand-alone options include an adaptive damping system, a trailer hitch good for up to 7,500 pounds when properly equipped, heated and ventilated front seats, an iPod/MP3 adapter and a rear-seat entertainment system with 8-inch screens.
Powertrains and Performance
The GL320 Bluetec is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 that makes 210 horsepower and an impressive 398 pound-feet of torque. The GL450's power plant is a 4.7-liter V8 that makes 335 hp and 339 lb-ft of torque. The GL550, meanwhile, gains motivation from a 5.5-liter V8 that churns out 382 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. All models are equipped with a seven-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
EPA fuel economy estimates vary greatly among models. The 2009 GL320 Bluetec achieves 17 mpg city/23 mpg highway and 19 mpg combined, while the GL450 only manages 13 mpg city/18 mpg highway and 15 mpg combined. Not surprisingly, the model with the biggest engine fares even worse, as the GL550 is rated at just 13/17/14 mpg.
Standard safety features on the 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class include stability control, antilock brakes, whiplash-reducing front headrests, a driver-side knee airbag, first- and second-row side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags with an integrated rollover sensor. Hill start assist, hill descent control and TeleAid are also included. Buyers of the GL450 and GL320 Bluetec wanting a rearview camera and front and rear parking sensors should note that they are only available as part of a premium package. These items are standard on the GL550.
Interior Design and Special Features
The GL's cabin is comfortable and luxuriously appointed. Fit and finish is superb, seats are exceptionally supportive and headroom and legroom are ample in nearly every position. However, even though the GL has an updated COMAND interface this year, we've still found it finicky to use. It employs awkward push-buttons on a center-stack-mounted circular control pad instead of the console-mounted control wheel used in the C-Class and S-Class.
Another of the GL-Class' shortcomings is the second row's inability to move fore and aft, as it can get tight with taller occupants seated up front. We do, however, like the one-touch up and down function on all four windows. The flush-folding rear headrests are also a nice touch, as they improve the driver's rearward vision (an innovation missing on Benz's R-Class). Third-row access is also well thought out. With the second- and third-row seats lowered, 83 cubic feet of cargo volume are available -- that's far fewer cubes than in competing models like the Escalade, but it's likely sufficient for most buyers.
Driving Impressions
Power is impressive with either of the V8-powered GLs. Both are quicker to 60 mph than any other comparable large SUV we've tested, including the Audi Q7 4.2 and Cadillac Escalade. The Benz is also pleasantly quiet on the highway, with minimal wind and road noise. The GL320 Bluetec ultimately lacks the oomph of its V8-powered counterparts, but its torquey power delivery is satisfactory under most circumstances. In terms of handling, Mercedes' GL is made for luxury, not for sport, and it shows. For example, the GL's steering is nicely weighted, but it's a tad slow, and the soft suspension might feel too floaty for some drivers. Relative to other full-size SUVs, though, the 2009 Mercedes GL is reasonably agile and maneuverable.

Talking About Plant Nutrients
This week at my Master Gardener course we learned about soil nutrients and how they affect the way our plants grow. Nutrients are pretty important to all plant growth, especially vegetables since they are generally annuals. Any plant that lives and dies in one year is going to require a lot of nutrients.
There are 13 nutrients that are essential to plant growth. None of them are optional. All of them are required for plants to grow healthily, they are just required in different amounts.
Nitrogen (N) is the one that most plants need in abundance. If you think about it, most vegetables will need this in spades since they tend to be leafy, fast growing plants. Phosphorus (P) is another nutrient that plants need a lot of, and so is Potassium (K). These are called the 'Primary Nutrients'. If you have ever bought a box of general purpose fertiliser for your vegetable garden that said NPK on the side, then now you can see why. They are the three biggies when it comes to growing healthy vegetables.
The nutrient table goes on like this:
Primary Nutrients
Nitrogen (N)
Phosphorus (P)
Potassium (K)
Secondary Nutrients
Sulfur (S)
Calcium (Ca)
Magnesium (Mg)
Zinc (Zn)
Iron (Fe)
Copper (Cu)
Manganese (Mn)
Boron (B)
Molybdenum (Mo)
Chlorine (Cl)
I think I must have been off sick on the day that my chemistry teacher covered Molybdenum because I'd never heard of it before!
Remember, none of these are optional. They are all required for healthy plant growth. So how do you know if your soil is deficient in any of these and how can you correct it?
The easiest way to get to know your soil is to do a nutrient soil test. Not the kind of test that you buy from the nursery that looks like a test tube but a test done by a laboratory. There are soil testing services (do a Google search) that will test your soil sample and tell you the levels of nutrients in your soil. If your soil is deficient in any of the nutrients above they will tell you and also recommend the amount and type of fertiliser to you need to add to correct it.
I've never had my soil tested but I plan to do it in the next few weeks. Autumn would probably have been the best time to do it so that I could add any corrections then but we were in the middle of a huge re-landscape then and so it wasn't ideal.
Your soil is most likely to be deficient in the primary nutrients since plants use them the most. Calcium and Magnesium deficiency is most likely in acid soils. Zinc deficiency is usually associated with high pH soils.
You can also tell if your soil is deficient by looking for characteristic symptoms in the leaves of your plants. Here is a handy chart that helps diagnose nutrient deficiencies just by looking at the leaves of stressed plants.
If you are adding lots of organic matter to your soil, taking care to preserve soil structure and not planting too intensively then your soil should be balanced. Keep an eye on the pH of your soil too and make amendments where necessary. There is a reason why a pH of 6.5 is recommended for vegetable growing and that's because most soil nutrients are available at that pH. Once your pH starts to move away from 6.5 certain nutrients become unavailable.
I hope this is interesting. I found the workshop enlightening. Soil nutrients is a subject that I've largely avoided over the past years because I thought it was complicated and, in truth, a bit boring. But I think now I can trace some of my major failures back to soil issues. So in the future I'll be keeping tabs on the state of my soil.

Like you, I think I was washing my hair the day molybdenum was mentioned at school! But seeing as we're getting all sciency….
Clay soils hold on to nutrients better because the soil molecules have a positive electrical charge (!?!). This makes the nutrients stick – like a balloon that you've rubbed on your jumper.
I realise this doesn't make much difference because you can;t change your soil type – but it may be a crumb of comfort when you're trying to whip a heavy clay soil into shape to start a veg plot.
The answer lies in the soil……
I always teach my adult students basic soil science so they understand how important it is to get the health and nutrition of plants right from the ground up.really interesting post, will send a few if then to read it!

Another interesting post. I'm learning a lot. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
I have to admit, I'm a little bit of a soil science lover but know practically nothing about it. Your explanations are perfect for a interested dullard like myself. Thanks.

Great Post! My mom is a Master Gardener and I'd love to become one someday when I have the time and resources to devote to it. I'm happy to follow along with your lessons!
PS. In your third paragraph, I think you mean "Potassium (K)"
# MICKAN¸.•°`????on 29 Jan 2013 at 6:51 pm
Well, thank you for this interesting reading :)
I've learned what NPK stands for, honestly I thought it was a Japanese brand!
I'm interested in soil science in a nerdy sort of way! The mineral deficiency key is really useful, I will be referring to it. Thanks for passing on what you've learned!

|Why 12 wheels when 6 wheels is cheaper? Same thing, no?
|6 wheels are pretty useless and performance wise not at all acceptable. Maybe a little harsh, but the truth. You want the weight distribution and friction spread out. 4 wheel trucks are much much smoother and more stable over cheap 2 wheel dolly points. 2 wheels will grab and bind and will not run very smoothly.

by Becky Boyd, The Pajama Company Editor
We have a saying at The Pajama Company:
"Pajamas just make people happy".
So what's the connection between pajamas and happiness, anyway?
When you get down to it, its all about simple pleasures. Lots of people chase happiness, thinking the next thing they attain or goal they reach will finally, once and for all, make them happy. Goals and desires are a part of life, but when we're constantly looking down the road, we're missing what's right in front of us: the simple things that make us happy right now.
Here are just a few of the reasons why we believe pajamas can add to your happiness…
Comfort & Relaxation
Getting cozy in your pjs after a long day at school or work can be so soothing. Its a signal to your body that its time to slow down. Giving ourselves time to recharge is key in maintaining inner peace and happiness.
Family Time
Being at home in your pajamas usually means time with family: pancake breakfasts, movie marathons, or just hanging out! We know that connection and belonging – whether it be with family or friends – increases our well-being and joy.
Being Yourself
Pajamas give you another way to express yourself, and maybe even in a way you wouldn't normally during daily life. You get to wear what ever you want. Piggy pjs? Superman underoos? Fuzzy frog slippers? Its all about YOU and what makes you feel good!
So how about you: what is your simple pleasure? Tell us in the comments below!

Press: Tunes News (Album Review)
By John Frazzetta of WMG (Wasabi Media Group), here's a review of the Shalini EP for Tunes News. John gives the Shalini EP 3/3 music notes, "Own It - you should pick one up"
So...what are you waiting for? PICK ONE UP!
When it comes to writing about pop music, sometimes the easiest way to describe something is to relate it to something else that is popular. Easy enough, right? Well, yes, it is easy enough, but now I have pigeon-holed an artist to sound similar to a more popular artist in order to entice you to check out some new tunes. That doesn't strike me as fair at all, but it is the easiest way out of a conversation. For this particular EP I'm going to ask you to keep Sara Bareilles and Zooey Deschanel in mind and not go much further than that.
This set of tunes comes from Vancouver, British Columbia instead of someplace in New Zealand. We should be happy that Shalini Kumar is pursuing her dream of recording music rather than becoming a successful accountant living on a farm on the opposite side of the world. I'll never know how her number crunching skills are, so I'll just have to tell you that she can sing very well.
I've stated before that I'm a sucker for well crafted pop songs, and this EP has five great examples. When a sad subject can make you tap your feet and bounce, you know someone is doing their job; which is why I like "Feeling Lonely". Another interesting piece is how she incorporates other instrumentation into her music that reaches further than guitars and drums. Piano and string arrangements intertwine to help create a soothing backdrop, and you can hear the complexity grooving underneath the sweet vocals that want to whisk you someplace far away or take you somewhere dark and personal.
There are not a lot of songs on this EP, and my favorites are "Feeling Lonely", "Freeze Up" and her best track, "Book of Dreams". She has lofty ambitions to make it into the world of music, and you can't help but cheer her on as she races toward her goal. It is refreshing to hear and see artists that don't rely on costume changes, skimpy clothing and bad reputations in a tabloid to bolster their careers. For more information on Shalini check her website. Anyone that likes pomegranates, Mozart and violent video games can't be all bad.

Cross Country Healthcare Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2012 Results
Please replace the release with the following corrected version due to revision in the conference call information.
The corrected release reads:
Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: CCRN) today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012. Current and historical amounts have been adjusted to reflect the previously disclosed sale of the Clinical Trial Services segment in February 2013, which has been reclassified as discontinued operations.Consolidated revenue from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $111.7 million, an increase of 3% from the prior year quarter, but a slight decrease sequentially from the third quarter of 2012. Including discontinued operations, the Company incurred a net loss in the fourth quarter of 2012 of $9.5 million, or $(0.31) per diluted share, which includes a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $(0.24) per diluted share related to the clinical trial services business. Loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $1.3 million, including a $0.8 million charge recognized in the fourth quarter for a professional liability indemnity claim in the nurse and allied staffing business. The Company anticipates recovering some, if not all of this expense in a future period; however, U.S. GAAP accounting rules preclude the Company from recognizing a gain contingency until it is realized. The Company also incurred a one-time $0.7 million expense for an immaterial correction in calculating deferred rent, which primarily accumulated from 2002 to 2010. Loss from continuing operations after taxes was $3.0 million, or $(0.10) per diluted share. Cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $4.4 million. In the same quarter of the prior year, the Company had consolidated revenue from continuing operations of $109.0 million. Loss from continuing operations in the prior year quarter was $0.2 million. Net income including discontinued operations was $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.

Q102's Jingle Ball 2012 Presented By Xfinity - Show
WTMX 101.9FM Miracle on State Street
♦ 7:30 p.m. Dec. 14
♦ Chicago Theatre,
175 N. State
♦ Sold out
NEW YORK — Ed Sheeran never wanted to be in a boy band, but when he wrote a song called "Moments" when he was 15, he knew it would someday be a perfect song for a male group.
Luckily for Sheeran, his friends — the English pop quintet One Direction — needed a song, and asked the breakthrough singer to send something their way.
"It was always a song that I always intended for a boy band. I was like, 'This is my boy band song, but I'm never going to sing it,'" Sheeran, now 21, recalled. "I just held on to it for a long period of time."
"Moments," a pop ballad, made its way to One Direction's platinum-selling debut album, "Up All Night," as a bonus track.
He teamed up again with One Direction for the group's sophomore album, and wrote and recorded "Everything Has Changed" with Taylor Swift for her new album "Red." He said the experience was a "breath of fresh air" because of Swift's colossal success.
"As a person, Taylor's such a sweetheart," he said in a recent interview. "(She's) the perfect example of what musicians should be and how they should work and react. She just loves music and she's not in it for anything else."
English-born Sheeran says he has over 100 tracks dedicated to other acts. But he isn't just providing tunes for others; he's busy promoting his own songs.
His debut album, "+," has sold more than 1 million units in the United Kingdom since its release last September. It was released in the United States in June, where it debuted at No. 5 on Billboard's Top 200 albums chart.
The album's single "The A Team" is nominated for Song of the Year, a songwriting award, at this year's Grammys.
Sheeran describes his sound as a mix of "folk, acoustic, hip-hop, soul, everything." His influences range from Damien Rice to James Morrison to Jay-Z.
"I started rapping probably before I started singing," said Sheeran. "I was really into Eminem when ... 'The Slim Shady LP' came out. ... I wasn't allowed to have it 'cause he swears a lot."
Sheeran performed during the closing ceremony at the Olympics and was one of the acts to take the stage at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert in June.
When he was shopping for a record deal, the red-haired singer said he was told to switch his style to sound like James Blunt, who had just topped the charts with the smash "You're Beautiful."
"They didn't want to hear songs about homeless prostitutes," Sheeran said, referring to "The A Team."
"To have that [success] on a song that I was told wouldn't even be played on radio, it's quite nuts," he added.
Editor's note: Everyone attending the Chicago show is asked to bring new winter hats, scarves and gloves to benefit the patients at LaRabida Children's Hospital. A portion of the proceeds from the show also will benefit the hospital.

Changing my name during travel nursing after wedding. - page 2
So here's my dilemna. Help or suggestions appreciated. For the last 2.5 years, I have lived and worked in South Carolina, a compact state. I am about to take a 6 week break from work, get married, go on my honeymoon, and then... Read More
- 0Jan 10, '13 by NurseRiesQuote from NedRNThis problem crossed my mind as well. I have a South Carolina driver's license. The way I solved it is that I gave my car to my parents. My husband works from home and travels with me. We are using his car. Basically I just have a temporary mailing address in Ohio, since my living arrangements will change once every 8-13 weeks. Once I talked to so many people, they said that as long as I wasn't working in Ohio, nothing is tying me to that state. It's just a temporary mailing address from now until I stop traveling.While I don't know all the ins and outs of itinerant traveling, one issue could be with car registration and driver's license. Since you are not "working away from home", most states have rules requiring getting registration in their state within a few weeks. Seems like it would be difficult to legally resist such demands. There are some "full timer" RV sites that could probably shed light on the issues. Certainly there is a large community that acquires a "permanent" mailing address in a single state (Arizona seems popular in that community), and keeps registration and license there while working elsewhere. Still itinerant with no tax home, just a mailing address.
I think the benefits of travel would be greater If you had a mortgage and permanent tax home. I simply don't, so things are more confusing.
- 0Jan 10, '13 by NedRNConsider buying a house in South Dakota. You can pick one up a nice one for around 40K, no state income tax, low fees for driver's license and registration, and compact licensure. Not much in the way of costs, especially if you get a roommate, and a central place to hang out for a while on cross country trips. Such a set up would maximize your income. Texas would be second on my list of good places to be located for similar reasons. I'd pay more for such a house near a college/university to maintain or increase home value, and ease of finding roommates.
- 0Feb 3, '13 by NurseRiesNed, I have re-read your comments and appreciate your advice very much. You seem to know so much about travel nursing and I truly appreciate your advice. We are now considering buying a condo in South Carolina. Maybe before the end of the year. We talked a lot about how being taxed on the reimbursements and paying $1,000 a month on a mortgage (or maybe more) wouldn't be that much different and it's an investment. We have emotional ties to the area and would probably frequent there several times a year. It is a generally inexpensive state. I also have two different jobs that said I could pick up prn shifts anytime I want. Since its by the beach, 10 years from now when it's paid off (worst case scenario 10 years), we will have a great vacation home for family in Ohio. We may also consider renting it out.
Sounds like a good investment in several different ways to me. Now to try to tackle first time home ownership! Ahhh! We are going to wait for the right thing to come along and try to put 1/4 to 1/3 of it as a down payment. Thanks for all your help. Any thoughts?
- 0Feb 3, '13 by NedRNGreat plan! And South Carolina is compact. In an ideal situation, I would suggest paying a smaller down payment. Interest rates are still historically low and have no where to go but up. Get a fixed rate. I say this not because I recommend a lot of debt (pay cash for a house if possible) but because it is better to have 6 months of mortgage payments and living expenses in the bank. Because you never know what may happen.

Game of Thrones Archives - Page 2 of 2 - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
Zack Soto plays a Game of Thrones
Full disclosure (not that it's even necessary if you've noticed my posts on this topic for the past few months): I am a giant nerd for George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, and eagerly anticipate Game of Thrones, the new HBO series based on the books. (Go ahead and watch the first 14 minutes of the series premiere at Spinoff. I'll wait.)
Fortunately I'm in good company: Cartoonist Zack Soto, of The Secret Voice and Studygroup12 fame, is a hardcore ASoIaF fanboy as well. In tribute, he's launched The Wall Defends Itself, a tumblelog dedicated to the best in Game of Thrones fan and production art. That's Soto's rendition of one of the books' major heavies, Sandor Clegane — aka the Hound — above. Soto says he'll try to post at least one original piece of ASoIaF art every week — the perfect way to get your fix of intrigue, incest and the occasional undead warrior between episodes of the show!
Celebrate the impending release of A Dance with Dragons with some sweet art
Nerds worldwide are rejoicing today because after six years and countless delays and false starts, author George R.R. Martin has announced that A Dance with Dragons — the much-anticipated fifth book in his seven-volume epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, making the jump to TV on April 17 in the form of the HBO series adaptation Game of Thrones — is now officially and firmly slated for a Tuesday, July 12, 2011 release. I'll be spending most of my day gibbering giddily, but if you manage to pull yourself together, do check out a trio of very cool A Song of Ice and Fire illustrations by artist Kali Ciesemier. That's Jon Snow above; click the links to check out her takes on Sansa Stark and Brienne of Tarth. Winter may be almost over, but Winter Is Coming!
Bantam and Dynamite to adapt George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire
Bantam Books has acquired the worldwide comic-book rights to George R.R. Martin's bestselling fantasy epic A Song of Ice and Fire for a monthly series published by Dynamite Entertainment. Collected editions will follow under the Bantam imprint.
The comic, by writer Daniel Abraham (Fevre Dream, The Hard Call) and artist Tommy Patterson (Farscape, Tales from Wonderland), will debut in the late spring, around the time the television adaptation Game of Thrones premieres in April on HBO.
"With so much top rank talent to pick from, it was a tough choice," Martin writes on his blog, "but Daniel and I and our editors at Bantam and Dynamite were all knocked out by the character sketches and sample pages that Tommy submitted."
Debuting in 1996, Martin's planned seven-book saga is set primarily on the mythical medieval continent of Westeros, whose seven kingdoms are torn between a dynastic civil war, a threat of invasion from the North and the impending return of the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.
Read the official press release, and see another character sketch, after the break.
Drawing a Game of Thrones
As reported in What Are You Reading?, I am a huge, huge, huge fan of writer George R.R. Martin's bold, bloody, brilliant epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire. And I pretty much can't wait for HBO's adaptation of the series, Game of Thrones, which stars Sean Bean, Peter Dinklage, Mark Addy, and Lena Headey and hits televisions on April 17. Finally, of course, I like comics and cartooning. So here's a two-great-tastes-that-taste-great-together situation if ever there was one: deviantARTist Gianluca Maconi's A Song of Ice and Fire gallery, featuring drawings of many of the major characters. That's the black-clad bastard son Jon Snow and his direwolf Ghost above; click the link for Maconi's vivaciously drawn takes on the rest of the Stark family, the Lannister siblings, King Robert Baratheon, Danaerys Targaryen and more. (And if you're curious about the books but aren't convinced they're worth your while, allow me to make the case.) Winter can't come soon enough.

Off-topic: HBO greenlights Game of Thrones series
HBO has ordered the pilot plus nine episodes of Game of Thrones, the highly anticipated television series based on George R.R. Martin's bestselling A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy novels.
Production begins in June in Belfast, with the series set to debut on the cable network in spring 2011.
From the moment the rights to the novels were sold to HBO in January 2007, many doubted whether a sprawling fantasy could ever make it to television. As recently as Monday, Martin himself expressed doubts as to whether the network would greenlight the show.
"From the start of this, I've told myself, 'Don't get too emotionally invested in this, or you will be devastated if it doesn't go'," Martin wrote on his blog. "Wise words, those. I'm a smart guy. But easier said than done. I've failed. I am totally emotionally invested, and if HBO does indeed decide to pass, for whatever reason, I will be gutted."
Debuting in 1996, A Song of Ice and Fire is set in mythical, medieval Westeros, a continent torn between a dynastic civil war, a threat of invasion from the north and the impending return of the rightful heir to the throne. Four of the planned seven books have been released. The Hedge Knight and The Sworn Sword, two of three novellas set in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, were adapted as comics by Dabel Brothers Productions.
The HBO series takes its name from the first novel, A Game of Thrones. The cast includes Sean Bean, Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey.

About University Archives and Special Collections
The Coastal Carolina University Archives and Special Collections is comprised of university records, oral histories, and regional history materials to support research and scholarship. The department is located in Kimbel Library on the Coastal Carolina University campus.
The Coastal Carolina University Department of Archives and Special Collections identifies, acquires, preserves, and provides access to records and papers of enduring and historic value. Its mission is twofold:
University Archives: To collect and maintain records of enduring and historic value created or received by the university and its employees. It serves as the institutional memory of the university and as a resource and laboratory to stimulate and nourish teaching and learning as well as research and scholarship relating to the university and region.
Special Collections: To collect and maintain non-university records and papers, which support the academic mission of the university. Areas of collecting interest are specified in a separate collection development policy.
Collecting Areas
The University Archives and Special Collections department collects materials related to Coastal Carolina University and the Waccamaw Neck region of South Carolina (Horry County, Georgetown County, and Williamsburg County). A brief version of the collecting policy is available below. The complete policy is available here .
University Archives
The University Archives collects official records, papers, and publications of Coastal Carolina University. It also collects the personal and professional papers of select faculty, staff, and alumni. These materials include but are not limited to department and committee minutes, agenda materials, correspondence, memoranda, reports, budgets, oral histories, lecture notes, course syllabi, the Chanticleer, Atheneum yearbooks, commencement programs, and fact books.
Local History Archives and Manuscript Collections
The Local History Archives and Manuscript Collections include papers of individuals, families, organizations, and local businesses with strong ties to the local area. Materials are especially of interest if they represent the growth and development of the university and region. The region includes Conway, Myrtle Beach, Horry County, Georgetown County, Williamsburg County, the Waccamaw River, Winyah Bay, and the Waccamaw Neck.
Special Collections
The Coastal Carolina University Archives and Special Collections does not serve as a repository for rare or scarce books that have fine printings, bindings or illustrations (except for South Carolina related materials). This includes those dating back to the earlier times of printing. Because of the expense, the department does not actively collect these materials; however, their acquisition in the form of gifts or donations is accepted under the guidelines of the library's Collection Management Policy and gift donation form.

Back to main FAQs
What Can I Do to Keep Costs Down in My Minnesota Divorce or Child Custody Case?1. Don't make your attorney justify every single decision, no matter how small. We're happy to do it, but it takes time, and time costs you money. The point is not for you to acquire a law school education. The point is to represent your interests with excellence and efficiency. If you can't take your lawyer's word for something, it's time to get a new lawyer. Otherwise, it's much cheaper to give your lawyer a certain amount of "command authority," at least on matters of procedure and tactics.
2. In divorces, there is inevitably a process of "discovery," where each party requests information and documents from the other party. Sometimes this is informal and limited. Other times it is formal, comprehensive, and terribly time-consuming for the parties themselves (to gather the information), and for their lawyers (who must review the responses and put them together in proper legal form). Because most attorneys are sloppy and lazy with formal discovery, they request much more than is really necessary to settle a case, just to cover their butts and to avoid the work of tailoring the discovery demands to each particular case, or just to make the process more onerous for the other party.
When you have a choice, it is cheaper to cooperate with informal and limited discovery. In cases where the other party is not cooperative or not trustworthy, more formal discovery may be a necessity. Some of the formal discovery demands you receive will be objectionable. In most cases, however, it is much cheaper for you to just get the information and documents, than to pay your lawyer to argue with the other side about it. Also, don't trickle it in piecemeal to your attorney if at all possible. Get it all together into one package, as complete and as organized as possible.
3. Be prompt. Courts are slow. Many attorneys, sadly, are chronic procrastinators and deadline-driven. Custody evaluators and Guardian ad Litems are slow. If you're slow too, it compounds the problem. Furthermore, the quicker you can be in responding to whatever your attorney asks of you, the more likely it is that you'll be able to settle your case sooner and at less expense. By acting quickly, attorneys are able to take charge of a divorce process, rather than being driven by court deadlines and various hearings and other requirements which might be avoided just by staying ahead of the game.
4. Use just one (1) attorney. Many people hire law firms to represent them, and end up in situations where more than one attorney is working on their case. This is inefficient, because each attorney involved needs to be independently educated about the case, and no attorney is as well informed as he would be if he were the only attorney on the case. I've seen billing statements from other firms with numerous charges for a "strategy conference" between attorneys in the same firm. I've seen billings for two attorneys from the same firm attending the same deposition. Obviously these duplicative charges don't happen when you use a single attorney for your case.
5. Use an attorney who specializes exclusively in family law, so that you're not paying so much for the attorney to "learn". No lawyer has perfect and complete knowledge, but a specialist is not going to have to do nearly as much legal research as a more general practitioner. (Not to mention, a specialist will be more qualified to represent you in the best way possible, because of his experience).

Your Baby's Health Depends on You
For every baby, a healthy start in life is often a matter of the prenatal care that their mom receives. Mothers who receive early medical attention during their pregnancies have bigger, stronger, healthier babies.
A healthy baby should not depend on how much money you have. If you're constantly worried about finances and who will provide medical care during your pregnancy, Healthy Beginnings Plus is a program that may help both you and your baby.
There are many women in Central Bucks County who cannot afford medical care throughout their pregnancy. The mission of Healthy Beginnings Plus at Doylestown Hospital is to make prenatal care and other maternity services available and accessible to qualified applicants.
Medical Assistance income guidelines are higher for pregnant women than for the general population. Therefore, you may not realize that you are eligible for Healthy Beginnings Plus. The staff at Doylestown Hospital can help you complete the Medical Assistance application. If you are eligible, free prenatal health care is provided to you and your unborn baby.
Early, comprehensive care for a healthy pregnancy: The Healthy Beginnings Plus staff includes doctors, nurses, social workers and dietitians. Their goal is to provide health care during your pregnancy and immediately after the birth of your baby.
Services for you and your baby include:
Continuous care for you and your baby:The Healthy Beginnings Plus staff at Doylestown Hospital would like to emphasize that:
What to do if problems arise: The Healthy Beginnings Plus team focuses on a healthy pregnancy for you, which means ongoing assessment of your educational, nutritional and other individual needs. It also means early detection and treatment of any problems - the sooner we find out about a problem and take care of it, the better it is for both you and the baby.
If a problem does arise, assistance is always available, 24 hours a day, by calling the Healthy Beginnings Plus phone number. If your baby is born with special medical needs, Doylestown Hospital has a Level II neonatal intensive care nursery with neonatologists on site.
After your baby arrives: After the baby is born, you will be eligible for home visits by a nurse. Normal postpartum care and baby care will be reviewed. Lactation consultants are available to help you learn how to successfully breastfeed your baby. You will also return for one postpartum visit with the Healthy Beginnings Plus staff. Referrals will be made for continuing care for your baby and for your own gynecologic (GYN) care.
Healthy Beginnings Plus serves:Healthy Beginnings Plus serves all residents from communities in Central Bucks County. People who live as far north as Upper Black Eddy, as far south as Hatboro/Horsham, as far east as New Hope and as far west as Telford may participate in this program. Healthy Beginnings Plus is located at Doylestown Hospital, 595 West State Street (Routes 611 & 202) in Doylestown.

"I don't want to let her get away," he said with a smile.
Harry and his wife, Ruthanne, have been holding hands for nearly 49 years. Set to celebrate their 49th wedding anniversary June 12, the couple said they believe they know a thing or two about love, what it truly means and how it can be found in the most unlikely of places.
The Waskos, who moved to Ottawa in 2003, grew up in small-town western Kansas. They attended Jetmore High School, but didn't run in the same circles. Ruthanne was a pretty, popular girl in high school, the couple said, and she scarcely noticed Harry.
"I would never have dated Harry, because he was a nerd," Ruthanne said lovingly. It was a detail Harry did not refute.
It was the couple's fathers, who worked together during the Great Depression, who pushed for the two to spend more time together, Harry said. Their fathers were close friends, so they assumed their children would make a perfect pair, he said. But that wasn't the case — at least not in their teenage years.
"In high school, my dad thought I should get acquainted with her," Harry said. "Her dad thought she should get acquainted with me ... "
"My dad never said that," Ruthanne cut in.
After high school, the two parted ways and married others. Both of their first marriages ended, however, and they found themselves single again.
But it wasn't Harry that Ruthanne had her sights set on next — it was his brother, Clark.
"How we got back together was, I was dating his brother in our hometown in western Kansas and [Clark] kept saying, 'Harry's been divorced and he's looking for someone, and he really needs to meet some new people.' And I was thinking 'Not me,' 'cause I was never going to marry again," Ruthanne said, with Harry adding the same sentiment.
It wasn't love at first sight, the pair agreed, it was more like "love at about 15th sight."
"Something clicked," Harry said, while sitting in their Ottawa home on the couch next to his wife, holding her hand.
"We really just enjoyed being together," Ruthanne said.
It was Harry's patience and humor, Ruthanne said, that attracted her to him after so many years. For Harry, it was Ruthanne's conservation skills. But it takes more than those attractions to make a long-term marriage like the Waskos' work, they said.
"Love is hard work every day," Harry said, shaking his head for emphasis.
Ruthanne added to Harry's sentiment.
"Love is a decision. It's not just a feeling. And, so if you're not feeling loving, it doesn't mean you can't," Ruthanne said. "I hear young people say 'I don't think I love him anymore. I just don't feel anything.' Well, get over it. Start acting loving and, by golly, pretty soon you'll feel loving."
Such knowledge was gained by both the Waskos, Ruthanne said, over time as their maturity grew. Both in their 30s when they entered their marriage, they said they think maturity helped them face the good and bad times with a smile.
Working as a microwave tower serviceman, Harry wasn't home much during the week, making the weekends a special time for the two. But the difficulty in growing as a couple was compounded by their large family. The Waskos had three children — two permanent foster children and one child from Ruthanne's previous marriage — and, through the years, the couple has had 28 temporary foster children.
"It was challenge, but it was also very rewarding," Ruthanne said.
While they said they cannot count the number of good times they experienced in their marriage — because there are so many, they said — one moment stands out as a challenge they had to overcome: when their daughter, Katie, took her own life. Their relationship and family could have gone one of two ways after that terrible moment, Ruthanne said.
"You either grow closer or you divorce. You don't stay the same. And apparently we worked it out," Ruthanne said, adding that knowledge came to the couple with time and counseling.
While it might seem cliché to some, the pair truly do finish each other's sentences, laugh at each other's jokes and pick on each other like best friends — even after nearly a half-century. Having such a strong connection is an important part of helping to keep the love alive in a marriage, the couple said.
"He's my best friend, and I can talk about anything with Harry — that's pretty much the bottom line," Ruthanne said.
"Life is what you make it, and we've made it fun," Harry said.
Not all marriages will be filled with sunshine and rainbows, they said. An important aspect of any relationship, Ruthanne said, is to never leave a fight unsettled. Even if someone has to admit defeat, she said, just allowing a resolution to be reached will keep a marriage happy.
"Marry your best friend and don't take yourself seriously and keep your sense of humor," Ruthanne said, as Harry nodded his head in agreement.
