found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Kiwi, Miranda & Mousie!
Facts about Kiwi, Miranda & Mousie
- Species: Chinchilla
- Color: Silver Or Gray
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Kiwi, Miranda & Mousie's Info...
I am good with kids and good with small animals.
Kiwi and Miranda came from separate homes where each had been exposed to male chinchillas. Even though Kiwi hated the other female chin she was surrendered with, she took a fast liking to Miranda, who missed her boys. The two bonded quickly and easily and spent their maternity watch together.
Miranda proved pregnant and nursed kits while Kiwi helped keep them clean and warm. Miranda's big boy kit has since been weaned and bonded with another male kit.
Miranda's tiny little female kit was the smallest live birth we've ever seen! Mousie (bottom) weighed in at only 30 grams and will most likely always be a delicate little thing. Mousie is still nursing and we are in no rush to wean her. Since we do not have another female kit of the same age to bond with little Mousie, we'd prefer to keep her with her mommy and auntie and offer them for adoption as a trio only.
Kiwi has been cleared of maternity watch by the middle of October and successfully passed maternity watch without kits. What a relief!
These three girls are wonderfully friendly and interactive! They would make a great trio of pets for someone new to chinchillas but who can also recognize the gentle touch Mousie will require.
Adoption fee: $150 for the trio
Other Pets at Whimsy's Menagerie & Chinchilla Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kiwi, Miranda & Mousie, a Virginia Beach Chinchilla was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chinchilla for sale in Virginia Beach, or seeking a Chinchilla from a breeder in Virginia Beach.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Virginia Beach already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Virginia Beach breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chinchilla breeders who help with Chinchilla rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Virginia Beach paves the way for another one to be saved.

(UPDATED COVERAGE, 11:55 a.m.) Delhaize Group SA, the Belgium-based owner of Food Lion and five other U.S. grocery chains, plans to spend about $1.2 billion to open as many as 130 new stores globally this year, saying sales trends are improving.
The company expects to step up expansion of newer formats, including its Bottom Dollar Food discount stores, Delhaize said in a quarterly financial statement released Jan. 20. Delhaize currently has 28 Bottom Dollar stores in Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia.
At Food Lion, the company's largest U.S. chain, the company saw "a continuation of the encouraging trends" from the previous quarter, Pierre-Olivier Beckers, Delhaize's chief executive officer, said in the statement. Food Lion has 1,627 stores, primarily in the Southeast.
As the company expands further in 2011, "our brands will continue to benefit from the many sales-building initiatives," including discounts and private label products, he said. "We are confident that the many initiatives... will allow us to achieve faster growth in the coming years."
Delhaize didn't specify where it plans to open new stores. The company will provide details on new store openings in its full-year financial report scheduled for release March 10, Delhaize spokeswoman Amy Shue said.
The company generated more than two-thirds of its 2010 revenue, which totaled about $28 billion, from U.S. stores, according to the statement.
Delhaize is among many food retailers increasingly emphasizing discount formats amid high U.S. unemployment and the economy's slow recovery from the 2008-09 recession.
Last spring, Food Lion launched a new "Low Price Heritage" advertising campaign to further promote price reductions on thousands of products. In February, Food Lion started a "New, Lower Prices" program, cutting prices on fresh produce, milk, meat and other products.
U.S. consumers continued to spend cautiously last year, Delhaize said.
"As in 2009, consumer spending remained prudent in 2010 and the competitive environment was promotional," Delhaize said in the statement. "In the second half of the year, our U.S. operations managed to improve underlying volume trends as a result of the price investments made earlier in the year and targeted promotional offers at Food Lion."
During the fourth quarter, Delhaize's U.S. operations posted a 0.8% decline in comparable store sales compared with the same period a year earlier. In the third quarter, sales fell 1.8%.
Total fourth-quarter sales in the U.S. were $4.72 billion, up 0.1% from the year-earlier period, Delhaize said.
Delhaize said it also plans to close 20 stores this year, meaning the company will have a net addition of 100 to 110 stores. In 2010, Delhaize had a net addition of 68 stores. Delhaize also operates Harveys, Hannaford Bros., and Sweetbay chains in the U.S.

I have a Culligan water softener and noticed recently that there is a running water sound coming from where my softener meets with the washer. There is no leaking, and the sound is almost like a constant trickle. It stops if we bypass the softener. any ideas? Culligan charges a fortune for a service call not to mention any parts. There are no error codes on the display and the owner's manual is not very helpful for troubleshooting. |

If by saying "where my softener meets with the washer" you mean the drain line running from the control valve to the drain then is sounds like you have water running to drain with the softener in the service position. Most likely an internal control valve problem with the piston, stack, or o-rings/seals or maybe a motor/drive gear problem correctly positioning the piston at end of regeneration. You didn't mention the model, how long the softener has been in service, or your water conditions and if well or water system. There's little you can do without the parts, knowledge, and the tools. For some of the Culligans there are retro fit upgrade kits available to improve their performance or correct problems. Three words... "hey Culligan Man" |

I recently "inherited" a six year old mark 89 system. It was installed as well as all new plumbing. The softener worked wonderful for about two weeks and then it just stopped so we took the brine tank out and cleaned it, we made sure it was regenerating often enough and double and triple checked the timer. Then we noticed through manual regeneration that the brine is not being used. What could be causing this???? We are trying desperately to avoid a service call. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Mon, Oct 8, 07 at 10:34
By "then we noticed through manual regeneration that the brine is not being used" do you mean there's water in the brine tank that never leaves? Just stays at that level all through the manual regeneration? If the answer is yes then you might not have properly reconnected the brine line when you moved the brine tank for cleaning or you damaged the brine pickup. Disconnect the brine line at the softener control and suck on it to see if you get salt water. If no then check the line connection at the brine pickup.float assembly. Make sure the float moves up and down and isn't stuck in the "up" position shutting off the water flow. Post what you find and we'll go from there. |
After the regen does water stay in the tank? |

I have a 14mo old medalist which uses well water. The warrantee ran out 2 mo ago and the unit stopped regenerating. After about one month, as I couldn't understand the instructions, I unplugged the power for about one minute, then arbitrarily punched the three operative buttons. The timer changed times and the "reg" light came on. After about two hours the reg light started to blink and it regenerated. Now, it regens once every three days. This is a private residence with two people living in it. With the regen averaging three days, would you think this a good turnaround time to regen? |
You need a new seal pack. That is the main piston and seals as one assembly. Replace the brine piston at the same time. System is running to the drain. RJ |
Gerald you need to know the water chemistry to reset hardness settings on control. How often it regenerates depends on the programming. It reset to factory settings when it was unplugged. There is one year labor but the valve parts should be covered for 3 years. Here is the link for the Medallist manual. http://www.eculligan.com/support/manuals.asp RJ |

I have a new addition to my home that is 400 sq ft. with cathedral ceiling and all windows (12) and two all glass doors-sort of sunroom style-but it faces North. The room open up to the rest of my home if I keep open the old patio single door--There is no heat source out there and a friend has offered me her Jotul Firelight wood stove (that's all I know about model of stove) as they moved and in their new home, it is not needed and has been in storage for many years.
After reading comments by others, i am wondering if I should pick it up from her as i don't want to be over powered by the heat and not able to use my new room. Any ideas?? |

Fringe science
There are differing definitions of fringe science. By one definition (see below) it may be valid science but not considered mainstream in one way or another; by another broader definition fringe science is generally viewed as a negative description involving what is believed to be a questionable scientific approach which may be considered too speculative, or questionable concerning: mainstream postulates, theory, hypothesis, explanations, methods, interpretations, conclusions, etc.
- Fringe science is scientific inquiry in an established field of study that departs significantly from mainstream or orthodox theories, and is classified in the "fringes" of a credible mainstream academic discipline.
- Three classifications of scientific ideas have been identified (center, frontier, fringe) with mainstream scientists typically regarding fringe concepts as highly speculative or even strongly refuted.[1] However, according to Rosenthal "Accepted science may merge into frontier science, which in turn may merge into more far-out ideas, or fringe science. Really wild ideas may be considered beyond the fringe, or pseudoscientific." [2]
- A particular concept that was once accepted by the mainstream scientific community can become fringe science because of a later evaluation of previously supportive research. For example the idea that focal infections of the tonsils or teeth were a primary cause of systemic disease was once considered medical fact, but is now dismissed for lack of evidence. Conversely, fringe science can include novel proposals and interpretations that initially have only a few supporters and much opposition. Some theories developed on the fringes (for example, continental drift,[3][4] existence of Troy,[5][6] heliocentrism,[7] the Norse colonization of the Americas, and Big Bang Theory[8]) have become mainstream because of the discovery of supportive evidence.
- Fringe science covers everything from novel hypotheses that can be tested via the scientific method to wild ad hoc theories and "New Age mumbo jumbo" with the dominance of the latter resulting in the tendency to dismiss all fringe science as the domain of pseudoscientists, hobbyists, or quacks.[9] Other terms used for the portions of fringe science that lack scientific integrity are pathological science, voodoo science, and cargo cult science. Junk science is a term typically used in the political arena to describe ideas that proponents erroneously, for political reasons, dubiously or even fraudulently claim scientific backing for.
In the philosophy of science, the question of where to properly draw a boundary between science and non-science, when the objective actually is objectivity, is called the demarcation problem. Compounding this issue is that proponents of some fringe theories use both proper scientific evidence and outlandish claims to support their arguments.
Fringe science is used to describe unusual theories and models of discovery. Those who develop such fringe science ideas may work within the scientific method, but their results are not accepted by the mainstream community. Usually the evidence provided by supporters of a fringe science is believed only by a minority and rejected by most experts. Fringe science may be advocated by a scientist who has a degree of recognition by the larger scientific community (typically through the publication of peer reviewed studies by the scientist), but this is not always the case. While most fringe science views are ignored or rejected, through careful use of the scientific method, including falsificationism, the scientific community has come to accept some ideas from fringe sciences.[10] One example of such is plate tectonics, an idea that had its origin as a fringe science of continental drift, and was held in a negative opinion for decades.[11] It is noted that:
- The confusion between science and pseudoscience, between honest scientific error and genuine scientific discovery, is not new, and it is a permanent feature of the scientific landscape [...] Acceptance of new science can come slowly.[12]
The phrase fringe science can be considered pejorative. For example, Lyell D. Henry, Jr. wrote, "'fringe science' [is] a term also suggesting kookiness."[13] Such characterization is perhaps inspired by the eccentric behavior of many researchers on the fringe of science (colloquially and with considerable historical precedent known as mad scientists).[14] The categorical boundary between fringe science and pseudoscience can be disputed. The connotations of fringe science are that the enterprise is still rational, but an unlikely avenue for future results. Fringe science may not be a part of the scientific consensus for a variety of reasons, including incomplete or contradictory evidence.[15]
Some historical ideas that are considered refuted by mainstream science include:
- Wilhelm Reich's work with orgone, a physical energy he claimed to have discovered, contributed to his alienation from the psychiatric community and eventually to his jailing. At the time and continuing today, other scientists and skeptics disputed Reich's claims that he had scientific evidence for the existence of orgone. Nevertheless, dedicated amateurs and a few fringe researchers continue to believe that Reich was correct.[citation needed]
- Focal infection theory as a primary cause of systemic disease rapidly became accepted by mainstream dentistry and medicine after World War I, largely on the basis of what later turned out to be fundamentally flawed studies providing evidence to support the theory. As a result millions of people were subjected to needless dental extractions and surgeries.[16] While certain mainstream study continues on certain aspects of FIT, the original approach and science of FIT started falling out of favor in the 1930s and was relegated to the fringe of oral medicine by the late 1950s.
- Clovis First theory: The idea that the Clovis was the first culture in North America was long regarded as mainstream until mounting evidence of pre-Clovis occupation of the Americas discredited it.[17][18][19]
Relatively recent fringe sciences include:
- Aubrey de Grey, featured in a 2006 60 Minutes special report, is working on advanced studies in human longevity,[20] dubbed "Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence" (SENS). Many mainstream scientists[21] believe that his research, especially de Grey's view on the importance of nuclear (epi)mutations and his purported timeline for antiaging therapeutics, constitutes "fringe science".
- Technology Review controversy: In an article released in a 2006 issue of the magazine Technology Review (part of a larger series), it was written that "SENS De Grey's hypothesis is highly speculative. Many of its proposals have not been reproduced, nor could they be reproduced with today's scientific knowledge and technology. Echoing Myhrvold, we might charitably say that de Grey's proposals exist in a kind of antechamber of science, where they wait (possibly in vain) for independent verification. SENS does not compel the assent of many knowledgeable scientists; but neither is it demonstrably wrong".[22]
- A nuclear fusion reaction called cold fusion occurring near room temperature and pressure was reported by chemists Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons in March 1989. Numerous research efforts at the time were unable to replicate these results.[23] Subsequently, a number of scientists with a variety of credentials have worked on the problem or participated in international conferences on cold fusion. In 2004, the United States Department of Energy decided to take another look at cold fusion to determine whether their policies towards the subject should be altered because of new experimental evidence, and commissioned a panel on cold fusion.
- The theory of abiogenic petroleum origin holds that natural petroleum was formed from deep carbon deposits, perhaps dating to the formation of the Earth. The ubiquity of hydrocarbons in the solar system is taken as evidence that there may be a great deal more petroleum on Earth than commonly thought, and that petroleum may originate from carbon-bearing fluids that migrate upward from the mantle. Abiogenic hypotheses saw a revival in the last half of the twentieth century by Russian and Ukrainian scientists, and more interest has been generated in the West[citation needed] after the publication by Thomas Gold in 1999 of The Deep Hot Biosphere. Gold's version of the hypothesis is partly based on the existence of a biosphere composed of thermophile bacteria in the Earth's crust, which may explain the existence of certain biomarkers in extracted petroleum.
Responding to fringe science[edit]
Michael W. Friedlander suggests some guidelines for responding to fringe science, which he argues is a more difficult problem to handle, "at least procedurally",[24] than scientific misconduct. His suggested methods include impeccable accuracy, checking cited sources, not overstating orthodox science, thorough understanding of the Wegener continental drift example, examples of orthodox science investigating radical proposals, and prepared examples of errors from fringe scientists.[25]
Though there are examples of mainstream scientists supporting maverick ideas within their own discipline of expertise, fringe science theories and ideas are often advanced by individuals either without a traditional academic science background, or by researchers outside the mainstream discipline,[26] although the history of science shows that scientific progress is often marked by interdisciplinary and multicultural interaction.[27] Friedlander suggests that fringe science is necessary for mainstream science "not to atrophy", as scientists must evaluate the plausibility of each new fringe claim and certain fringe discoveries "will later graduate into the ranks of accepted" while others "will never receive confirmation".[28] The general public has difficulty distinguishing between "science and its imitators",[28] and in some cases a "yearning to believe or a generalized suspicion of experts is a very potent incentive to accepting pseudoscientific claims".[29]
Towards the end of the 20th century, religiously inspired critics[who?], such as Answers in Genesis, began to cite fringe science theories with limited support. The goal was frequently to classify as "controversial" entire fields of scientific inquiry (notably paleo-anthropology, human sexuality, evolution, geology, and paleontology) that contradicted literal or fundamentalist interpretation of various sacred texts. Describing ongoing debate and research within these fields as evidence of fundamental weaknesses or flaws, these critics argued that "controversies" left open a window for the plausibility of divine intervention and intelligent design.[30][31][32] As Donald E. Simanek asserts, "Too often speculative and tentative hypotheses of cutting edge science are treated as if they were scientific truths, and so accepted by a public eager for answers," ignorant of the fact that "As science progresses from ignorance to understanding it must pass through a transitionary phase of confusion and uncertainty."[33] The media also play a role in the creation and propagation of the view that certain fields of science are "controversial". In "Optimising public understanding of science: A comparative perspective" by Jan Nolin et al., the authors claim, "From a media perspective it is evident that controversial science sells, not only because of its dramatic value but also since it is often connected to high-stake societal issues."[34]

Yes, River Analysis can read in the HEC-RAS project file and then can load the results for floodplain mapping.
Thanks Mathew,
OK I think I have found that option now for writing out the floodplain lines. Ta.
Dean Petersen
Any News on a version for 2013?
Does this work with C3D 2012 SP2.1 ?
Yes, River Analysis works with latest the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 service pack.
Did you encounter this error when opening a prior drawing or just on launch.
Fred -
I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling River Analysis, but it launches, and imports without issue on SP2.1.
I did that before my first message, and just reinstalled again this morning and still get the "unexpected error quitting" message. I am also getting this message when closing the program.
I assume you had it working prior to SP2.1? The first download of extension expired in December, and the latest version extended that original date. I assume you have the latest download.
For installation, check prior posts to verify that the files are copied correctly and your River Analysis icon has the necessary Administrative privileges.
As for the last error, its a bit difficult to tell what didn't close prior to AutoCAD Civil 3D closing. Its a benign error.
I just right-clicked on the imperial icon now and ran as administrator as you suggested and it launched without that error.
Yes I did have it running before.
Thanks for the help Matt.

Shooting in Douglas County sends Eudora man to hospital, suspect turns gun on himself
A Saturday night altercation in southeast Douglas County sent one man to the hospital and left another man, who police believe was the shooter, dead.
Sheriff's deputies say a 34-year-old Eudora man was shot in the back at a residence in the 400 block of E 2000 Road. Lewis said a 29-year-old Ottawa man took a .410 gauge shotgun to the house and shot the Eudora man before turning the gun on himself and killing himself.
The Eudora man's injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, but he was transferred to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said Sgt. Steve Lewis of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
"I don't think (it's a random act of violence)," Lewis said. "It's related to an ongoing situation at the residence."
Lewis said there were several others at the house to launch fireworks when the shooting occurred, but that the victim and the suspect were not related.
Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the scene at 8:17 p.m. Saturday night and as of Sunday afternoon had completed most of the investigation, Lewis said.

Can you be sure that God will come through for you? Absolutely. To know it beyond a shadow of a doubt starts with a revelation of His love for you… and that comes through the Holy Spirit!
God loves you deeply and passionately. He wants to give to you! Invite the Holy Spirit into your day. Ask Him… yield to Him… so He can give you a revelation of God's love for you. That IS His desire for you!
Paul prayed in the letter to the Ephesians that we might "know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God." (Eph 3:19) We can only do this through the Holy Spirit revealing it to us!
When we ask, He will answer. When we seek Him, we WILL find Him. When we knock on the door to the Throne Room, He opens the door wide and says, "come on in Child".
The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth. But He's a gentlemen and will not force Himself on you. Invite Him in today. Because the truth is, when you know God's love personally, you'll know He will ALWAYS come through for you!!!
God really does love you! You're His child! And He loves His kids!

All Sorts of Weird Stuff offers news and information about George R.R. Martin, in particular about his A Song of Ice and Fire series.
"When I was young, I read all sorts of stuff. One week it would be Lovecraft, the next Vance. It was all imaginative literature, or as my dad called it 'Weird Stuff.' It was all 'Weird Stuff.'"
George R.R. Martin
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
The Dangerous Women anthology (US, UK) edited by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois and containing (among other things) George's "The Princess and the Queen", has just been announced as the winning anthology at this year's World Fantasy Awards. The awards are determined by a jury, drawing from a selection of nominees drawn in part from the jury's own selections for consideration and by nomination from attendees. With a strong field, including entries by perennial favorites Ellen Datlow (recipient of a Lifetime Achievent Award at the convention) and Terri Windling, Jonathan Strahan, and more, this is a particularly noteworthy win for the anthology.
Many hearty congratulations to George and Gardner, as well as to all the contributors to the anthology!
Fans who can make it to London on August 19th, take notice: tickets for the Harper Collins Voyager and blinkbox-sponsored evening with George R.R. Martin and Robin Hobb now on sale. It's a world exclusive event, on the eve of the publication of Hobb's continuation of her landmark Farseer series with Fool's Assassin, and the two authors will likely discuss their respective works, the fantasy genre in general, and much more. It's definitely an exclusive opportunity for genre fans!
A new social reading app for iOs, Booke, is in the works, and an Indiegogo campaign aims to both help promote the app and generate some exclusive content for the George R.R. Martin & Gardner Dozois edited Rogues, containing Martin's "The Rogue Prince", a historical account of the reign of Viserys I and of his troublesome brother Prince Daemon Targaryen.
Rather than being an e-book reader, Booke is an adjunct to the printed word, a way for publishers, creators, and fellow readers to curate content around books and magazine articles. A book may have had the publisher highlighting quotes and linking to images or videos, or it could have fans providing short annotations and commentaries. Booke has received the support of Random House, publisher of Rogues, to use that book as a particular test case—if the Indiegogo goal is met, they'll bring aboard artists such as Dagmara Matuszak,Ted Nasmith, Marc Fishman and Marc Simonetti so that they can provide exclusive art to illustrate excerpts from the stories contained in the volume; not just Martin's own contribution, but also works by Patrick Rothfuss, Neil Gaiman, Scott Lynch, Joe Abercrombie, Connie Willis, Daniel Abraham, and more.
See below for a video describing Booke, and what it can do for you, in more detail!
One of the things that has most often been asked of Linda and I since we started posting videos discussing the A Song of Ice and Fire series, as well as HBO's Game of Thrones, concerns the many, many books on the bookshelves behind us. In an answer to address the questions—and perhaps help people find some good, summer reading, we've put together a video that tries to cover a number of the books and authors that we read. Below the video, you'll find a list of the authors and the specific works we mention, for those who just want to see what we've placed there:
As promised, Linda and I are very pleased to present a second excerpt from The World of Ice and Fire (Pre-order: Amazon US, Amazon UK), following George's excerpt from last month. Our own excerpt features the beginning of "The Ten Thousand Ships", the section devoted to the events leading to the arrival of the Rhoynar in Westeros, beginning with the relationship—and eventual conflict—between the people of the Rhoyne and the Valyrians. Those of you who've looked at the other available glimpses of the book know, the book's richly illustrated with beautiful artwork from many artists. Below, you'll find one of those pieces of art, a depiction of Princess Nymeria by artist J.K. Drummond.
And as an added bonus, at the end of the extract is a video Linda and I recoreded from our Youtube channel, discussing the origins of the book, the writing process, and going over some of its content. Enjoy!
The last of the great migrations into Westeros happened long after the coming of the First Men and the Andals. For once the Ghiscari wars had ended, the dragonlords of Valyria turned their gaze toward the west, where the growth of Valyrian power brought the Freehold and its colonies into conflict with the peoples of the Rhoyne.
The mightiest river in the world, the Rhoyne's many tributaries stretched across much of western Essos. Along their banks had arisen a civilization and culture as storied and ancient as the Old Empire of Ghis. The Rhoynar had grown rich off the bounty of their river; Mother Rhoyne, they named her.
GRRM has just shared the cover of the forthcoming The World of Ice and Fire (Pre-order: Amazon US, Amazon UK). We're very excited to share it here as well, co-written with Linda and myself.
As he notes, the text was originally contracted for 50,000 words…. but suffice it to say, it's much, much longer than that (especially if one includes the text of the World of Ice and Fire app (Buy: iOs, Android) which was originally intended for the book. The book itself is now at the 330-odd page mark, and is chock-full of some truly gorgeous art, more of it being added as we speak. Lots of new information, about the ancient history of the world, about the various regions, about the Targaryens and the Lannisters, and even about the strange, far-off places of Essos, from the Free Cities to Asshai and the Summer Isles.
The process of settling on the exact cover design certainly took awhile, especially when you've seen some of the early mock-ups. The three-headed Targaryen dragon really fits, although as you might guess from the above, this isn't a work exclusively focused on the Targaryens (though it has a great deal to say about them!)
And with that said, stay tuned next week, as we'll have an exclusive excerpt from the world book to share concerning another group of people who arrived in Westeros, and weren't necessarily welcome to begin with…
George R.R. Martin has published an excerpt from The World of Ice and Fire (Pre-order: Amazon US, Amazon UK), the guide to the setting and history that Martin has co-written with Linda and I.
The sample includes a piece of brand new art from the book, which will be extensively illustrated. The sample features the opening few pages of the section devoted to House Targaryen, describing briefly their time on Dragonstone… and ending with Aegon's declaration of war against the kingdoms of Westeros, as he and his sisters prepared to invade.
George R.R. Martin has updated "Not a Blog" with a lengthy post discussing the status of the Dunk & Egg novellas, set about 80 years prior to the time of the novels. Besides the fact that the fourth novella is partially complete but on hold for now, Martin notes he already has a fifth story roughed out in his head, with a prospective title of "The Village Hero" and its setting being the Riverlands. Perhaps more saliently for many who have patiently been waiting for the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms collection of the first three novellas is the explanation from Martin that the collection will arrive some time in 2015. But it won't just be a straight-up collection: it will be richly illustrated by award-winning (and, frankly, legendary) artist Gary Gianni. Well-known for his work bringing Robert E. Howard's Conan, Solomon Kane, and others to visual life, as well as many other pulp figures, most recently Gianni provided the artwork for the 2014 A Song of Ice and Fire Calendar.
According to Martin, Gianni's pitch for illustrating the collection is far beyond the initial handful of illustrations originally envisioned, and instead will feature much more artwork. Very exciting, for fans of Gianni's work, as well as for fans of the novellas. Martin does not that some foreign language editions of an unillustrated version of the collection have already been published, but the English-language edition will have to wait until 2015 while Gianni finishes the work.
Below, a bit of speculation on "The Village Hero".
Over at "Not a Blog", George R.R. Martin provides some news on the forthcoming cross-genre anthology he's co-edited with Gardner Dozois, Rogues (Pre-order: Amazon US, Amazon UK)... and in the course reveals that he has decided to contribute a story himself, another piece of the "fake history" of House Targaryen. Here's Martin in his own words:
"The Princess and the Queen," Archmaester Gyldayn's somewhat abbreviated account of the Dance of the Dragons, got a great response from all the folks who read it in Dangerous Women, so we've dipped back into the archmaester's somewhat disorganized piles of scrolls and crumbling manuscripts, and brought forth another piece of his unpublished history. "The Rogue Prince, or, the King's Brother," will tell the story of the years leading up to the calamitious events of "The Princess and the Queen" during the reign of King Viserys I Targaryen, with particular attention to the role played by the king's brother, Prince Daemon, a rogue if there ever was one. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as you did "The Princess and the Queen."
Best of all, though originally slated for quite a late publication, it looks like all the stories are in and ready to go… so Rogues will hit shelves in the US on June 17th.
Fans of "The Princess and the Queen" will be in for a treat. As we've told fans on our forum in the past, Prince Daemon was one of the most remarkable men of his age, and what you saw of him in "The Princess and the Queen" is only a taste of the enormities and feats of which he was capable.
You can find the full table of contents for Rogues below:
Earlier this month, we noted the upcoming fundraising drive for the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, sponsored by none other than George R.R. Martin and Parris McBride. As promised, we'd note when it went live… and it now has. A massive amount of A Song of Ice and Fire-related books and memorabilia, as well as Wild Cards books and other works by Martin, is in the offering, with various packages available at different funding levels.
The proceeds will go to support the Westeros Pack—named after characters from the novels—by providing them a larger habitat, which sounds excellent. All funding levels include signed "adoption" certificates, showing your sponorship of a particular wolf (or wolves) in the pack.
Via George R.R. Martin, we learn that Dangerous Women (Order: US, UK) has been an absolutely smashing success for an original fiction anthology, placing on several bestseller lists. Most notably, the December 22nd edition of the New York Times hardcover fiction list, where it reached the extended list's 18th position. As Martin notes, the book has also placed on the Ingram's and USA Today lists.
Many congratulations to Martin and fellow editor Gardner Dozois, as well as all the involved authors, and the publisher, Tor Books!
The Dangerous Women anthology, edited by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois and containing stories from Martin, as well as the likes of Joe Abercrombie and Brandon Sanderson, has been released in the US. The highlight for fans of A Song of Ice and Fire is Martin's novella "The Princess and the Queen", telling a part of the tale of the destructive civil war called the Dance of the Dragons, 170 years before the time of the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Filled with intrigue, family feuds, murders, and many, many dragons in violent, deadly battle, it reveals just how powerful and dangerous dragons (and Targaryens) truly were.
The anthology has received a starred review in Publisher's Weekly, while "The Princess and the Queen" has been separately reviewed in Entertainment Weekly.
There's a lot to be said about the novella, as our spoiler-filled discussion thread on the A Song of Ice and Fire forum reveals. Linda and I intended to have a video ready to discuss it—including its connection to the World of Ice and Fire that we've co-written with George—but winter has heralded a distinct lack of snow for us (so far)... but a cold did come to pay a visit. So we'll have to wait on that until we're less under the weather.
Until then, get the book, ready the novella, and share your thoughts!
The latest anthology edited by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois, Old Mars, has hit shelves. With a fine group of contributors—including award-winning authors such as Ian McDonald, Michael Moorcok, Mike Resnick, and Howard Waldrop—the collection presents science fiction tales inspired by the classic depiction of Mars as a place of ancient alien civilizations and great canals.
Over at Tor.com, Robert Bedford provides a review of the anthology, highlighting several notable original stories.
This summer, Amazon announced the formation of a new imprint dedicated to the publication of graphic novels: Jet City Comics.
With this news came the announcement of the initial slate of comics that would be published by Jet City, a slate which featured the works of George R.R. Martin quite heavily. First up among them is Meathouse Man, adapted by artist Raya Golden from Martin's disturbing science fiction tale in an imagined future where corpses are reanimated as the servants, and playthings, of men. That's due in October…
... but for fans of A Song of Ice and Fire, it gets better: Jet City will be republishing The Hedge Knight graphic novel (adapted by Ben Avery and Mike S. Miller) in November, and following that up with the republication of The Sworn Sword by the same team in January.
And then, to cap it off? The third Dunk & Egg story, "The Mystery Knight", is due to finally be adapted to comics—once more by the team of Avery and Miller—for Random House, publishers of the A Song of Ice and Fire series and—with Dynamite—of the comic book adaptation of the same.
Tor.com has been busily posting excerpts from the George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois anthology, Dangerous Women (Pre-order: Amazon US, Amazon UK), and today they have released the excerpt of Martin's own entry, "The Princess and the Queen".
The novella—which distills details Martin revealed for The World of Ice and Fire—recounts much of the Dance of the Dragons, the destructive civil war that tore the Seven Kingdoms apart from 129 to 131, and should provide some very interesting insights into the ancestors of Daenerys Targaryen. The excerpt is also accompanied by a longer, not too spoilerish review of the entire novella.
Dangerous Women will be published on December 3.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

mini sac haircalf
by CLARE V.
While working in French television, Clare Vivier began making bags as a result of her busy travel schedule. She discovered a gap in the market for laptop cases that were functional yet stylish, inspiring her to create her own bag. The concept quickly parlayed into her now eponymous line of handbags and clutches that are as stylish as they are utilitarian. She attributes her sense of chic simplicity to her strong connection with France. Clare's design principle is timeless but her aesthetic is bold, always taking into consideration the elegant tension between modern detail and classic shapes.

I'm having a bit of difficulty finding the right context for the E-class coupe. Its name says I should be looking at the BMW 6-series, while its price tag and its C-class underpinnings say I should seek out comparisons with the Audi A5.
In fact, the new coupe has much more in common, at least in concept, with the American coupes of years past. I'm thinking particularly of the Pontiac Grand Prixs and Chevrolet Monte Carlos of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Like those cars, the Benz emphasizes luxury and style over performance. No, there isn't a velour seating or vinyl roof option, and the E-class's driving dynamics still clearly come from a part of the world where people drive very fast. Steering is confident and precise, and the ride has that distinctly German, buttoned-down feel. But try to treat the E-class like a sport coupe, and it very quickly informs you that it's just not that kind of car. Body roll inhibits fun in corners, and the 268-hp V-6 feels like it has just enough power, but no more.
Want to like the E-class coupe? Climb onto the nearest interstate and stay there for a few hours. I had a choice of either this E-class or our Four Seasons Nissan GT-R for a three-hour trip to the Mid-Ohio racetrack, and within thirty miles of flat, straight cruising, I knew I'd made the right decision. The E-class does 80-85 mph in comfort and near silence. I also grew to appreciate the infinitely adjustable bolsters, which work via roller dials on the right side of the seat. I wish I could say I was as pleased with the aesthetics of the cabin, which impressed me in pictures but, at least in this brown and tan color scheme, come off as a bit drab.

Long time no see!! Wow, summer has been crazy. How has your guys' summers been going? Anyway, I'd love to make a long post about a lot of exciting things (like... SEEING HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2!!!! :)) but I was asked how to make things move on a blog, and I've interrupted that as rotating images, so, here we go - another tutorial. ;)
Rotating Images
The codes
.rotate img {
-moz-transition: all 0.6s ease-in-out;
-webkit-transition: all 0.6s ease-in-out;
-o-transition: all 0.6s ease-in-out;
-ms-transition: all 0.6s ease-in-out;
transition: all 0.6s ease-in-out;

-moz-transform: rotate(360deg);
-webkit-transform: rotate(360deg);
-o-transform: rotate(360deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(360deg);
transform: rotate(360deg);
HTML in Gadget

The instructions
1. Let's go and make an image! :) Go onto a program like PicMonkey (online) or GIMP or something, and make a personalized image that you want to twirl around when you hover over it. :)
2. Go to your blog, make a new post, upload your image, right click, click image in new window, and grab the URL. (for example, my blog's URL is http://areyouadragonmaster.blogspot.com/)
3. Save that there picture in a same place until later. ;)
4. Go to your layout in your blog, get an HTML gadget, and post the HTML that I've put up earlier in this post.

6. Save! :)
7. Go to Template, click customize, go to advanced, and down to CSS.
8. Paste the CSS.
9. Save.
10. Viola! :)
Now you should have a rotating image, once you hover over it with your mouse! :) If you have any questions/problems, just let me know, and I'll try and help to the best of my abilities! :)
Have a great day, guys!! And a great rest of the summer!! :) God bless!! :)
