UW Solar Spectrum Projects
AME is proud to support activities that promote broader public understanding and dialogue of the scientific and technological issues associated with energy generation, storage, and use. At present, we support a number of interlocking projects such as those that are designed to generate electricity from sunlight at UW, provide a facility for testing next-generation photovoltaics (PV) technologies, create a state-of-the-art Northwest solar sensing site, attract students from a range of disciplines and train them in design/build principles relating to solar energy, and create and launch an interactive kiosk (the SunDawg) that will engage over a hundred thousand visitors a year at UW and in the community.
10kW photovoltaic (PV) demo on the roof of the UW Power Plant: There will be three different technologies in this demonstration site (find out more) that will feed PV-generated electricity into the UW electrical system. The UW smart grid project monitors how much power is generated every day. You can find this power generation data compiled here. We are working on making it available for use by researchers, schools and interested members of the general public.
Photovoltaic (PV) test bed facility on the roof of the Power Plant: This will have plug-in stations where researchers can test a variety of emerging technologies side by side under "environmental" conditions. This underscores our belief that in order to create breakthrough technologies we will need to test them outside our sheltered lab environments. The data from this should provide excellent research opportunities for both graduate and undergraduate science and engineering students.
Solar monitoring station: We will install state of the art sensors on the test bed facility to provide data on solar radiation, direct vs. indirect light, temperature, and other parameters. The facilities at NREL relate to direct sun at lower latitude and may not accurately represent what solar installations might experience in Western Washington or other similar areas (e.g. Germany). This system will be important in determining the denominator for any solar efficiency calculations. It will also be important in helping people understand that there is more solar radiation in western Washington than most people think. In addition to providing a powerful research tool, this system will have value for public outreach efforts regarding the viability of PV in the northwest.
SunDawg solar information kiosk: This will be a solar-powered, mobile, interactive, programmable information portal that will be much more dynamic and engaging than 99% of kiosks around today. Its main focus will be to communicate three core messages: that solar energy needs to be play a major role in our energy future, that UW researchers are helping generate and test new technologies that could have a big impact, and the UW is working with partners such as PSE to deploy renewable solar technologies today. The SunDawg will be designed and built by students under the direction and mentoring of experts in a variety of fields (see below). Our current iteration of the SunDawg is shown here, and can be requested for outreach activities.
Mobilizing Solar Energy will ran in the Winter Quarter, 2012, led by Professor Rob Pena in Architecture: In this interdisciplinary course, students from a variety of fields learned about PV and principles of design and communication apply them to create design concepts for the SunDawg solar information kiosk. In the Spring quarter, a team of students from a variety of disciplines will work under the guidance of professionals to build and test the SunDawg kiosk using the best design elements from the Mobilizing Solar Energy proposals. In total, we expect about 45 students to receive classroom training, mentoring from experts, and hands-on experience working on a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary design/build project.

There's been much talk of arts funding cuts over the last few weeks.
Some have already happened (as in the Arts Council England cuts), some are planned (as in Newcastle City Council's proposed 100% cut to arts funding), and some are feared (as in the sundry local authorities who are likely to follow Newcastle's lead).
It's rather like the ghosts of Christmases past, present and future. And, in this Christmas Carol scenario, the government has been cast as Scrooge, with the arts world doing its best to convince Ebenezer to mend his selfish and parsimonious ways.
There is certainly an argument to made here – UK theatre is undoubtedly one of the success stories of the last 15 years and it would be sheer folly to throw it away. But how best to make the case?
Earlier this month, Danny Boyle and Nicholas Hytner held a joint press conference at the National to warn of the dangers facing regional theatres, while Hytner was again re-iterating his rallying cry last weekend at the London Evening Standard Theatre awards, as he warned that we risked a repeat of the dark days (and dark theatres) of the Thatcher era.
Over at The Guardian, in a typically thoughtful post, Michael Billington congratulates Hytner on taking the opportunity to highlight the problems facing his colleagues outside London.
Billington says:
The main virtue of these award ceremonies is that they give leading theatrical lights a chance to stick it to the government. To his great credit, Nicholas Hytner used the Standard ceremony to point out that the National Theatre not only enjoys a secure subsidy denied to most others, but that it has been at the heart of local economic regeneration on London's South Bank. It was "completely nuts" that theatres were being told to expect less funding, he remarked. "It makes no economic sense whatsoever." Danny Boyle, accepting a Beyond Theatre award for the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony, made a similar point about the indivisibility of British theatre and the vital connection between London and the regions.
On one level, I agree with Billington. It is great – and entirely commendable – that Hytner and Boyle want to use their prominence to fight the corner of regional theatres. But, it strikes me that glamourous awards ceremonies are precisely the wrong kind of place to do it.
At a time when most of the public sector is facing swingeing cut-backs, I'm not sure it plays well to complain of the difficulties facing our own sector, while dressed in black tie and surrounded by Versace-clad models swilling champagne
The problem is one of public perception. At a time when most of the public sector is facing swingeing cut-backs, I'm not sure it plays well to complain of the difficulties facing our own sector, while dressed in black tie and surrounded by Versace-clad models swilling champagne.
Working in the arts, we know that the image portrayed by events such as these is not a genuine reflection of the everyday experience of a theatre professional, but I'm not sure the general public do.
If the arts world wants to win the argument over public funding, it is going to need to think much harder about the kind of image it projects to the general public – and, by extension, to government.
Otherwise, nobody is going to be getting any turkey.

I really enjoy reading music criticism, which is partly why I follow Stereogum and a dozen or so other blogs. However, the James Blake backlash and the likely widespread backtracking are an example of some writers (not Miles) and consumers getting caught up in swirls of popular opinion which don't stem from or result in critical thinking.
Hearing, personally evaluating, and being affected by music before reading others' opinions can be a great thing, and it's easy to get away from doing so with any regularity these days. I enjoyed listening to Digital Lion before reading people's reactions to it, and my level of excitement for Overgrown has been appropriately adjusted…

Mud bricks are becoming more and more popular as a decent and environmentally sound building material. I've heard of people who built their own house with mud bricks, in fact. It takes forever, because they make each brick themselves. But it looks lovely, usually because the house is truly a part of the landscape around it.
I think they must have some cladding as well.
I know in some countries they just plaster more mud over the bricks, and continually patch it up after the rainy season.
But that would only work in countries where it didn't rain for most of the year. In countries where it does, the walls would dissolve really quickly.

Manager's Perspective: Keeping Digital Clean
A quality digital installation requires more than good equipment. Too often, managers believe the actual installation and interconnection of this equipment is a mere formality. Keeping digital clean means that managers must pay as much attention to installing their station's cabling and connectors as a great chef would spend attending to raw food and its preparation.
Keep these two principles in mind, and you will go far in keeping your digital signals loud and clean:
Embrace open architecture. No one can predict the kinds of broadcast equipment that you will be using in the next decade, so be sure to install cable that can handle all types of signals — both analog and digital. This method costs more in the short term, which is why superior managers insist on this approach.
Double the installation time. Ever heard the words, "Why can't they just work faster?" Any cable installer can work faster. However, faster rarely means better. A kinked cable and a poorly fitted connector — pulled together under deadline — may indeed work at first. However, we rarely get the second chance of hearing a digital signal degrade gradually (in time to fix the problem). With digital signals, we are more likely to experience the "cliff effect," where now you hear it — and then you don't.
Jim Paluzzi is professor of broadcast technology at Boise State University, and serves as general manager for Boise State Radio.

Inside the Box
After taking the top layer of foam padding out of the box, this is what you are left with. Lots of foam doesn't always mean things are safe if it isn't in the right places.
The power supply is finished in a semi-gloss black and as you can see, it is quite easy to leave fingerprints on the unit.
As was said above, lots of foam doesn't do any good if it isn't in the right places. Thankfully just pushing on the raised area was enough to straighten things out. If I had bought this from Newegg or somewhere else, I wouldn't be happy to have received it in this condition.
The other side presents us with the product logo. There is no I/O specification label on the unit that we received.
Moving to the back, we find the standard honeycomb mesh grill with AC input and heavy duty on/off rocker switch. Also present is an unlabeled switch to control when the fan activates.
If you needed more confirmation that this is a Super Flower based unit, here are the cube connectors with rubber covers that we've seen on their power supplies for quite some time now.
Cooling is provided via the 140mm fan with wire mesh grill.
All modular cables are of the flat ribbon type.
Also included with the power supply is the mounting screws and AC input cord.
Rounding out the contents of the box are the warranty card and the user manual.

I'm a Little Bit Country
Quiet country settings bring about a calmer mind. As I write this, I'm in Beacon, New York, where there are hardly any sounds except those of crickets and birds. But I'm listening to the noise in my Manhattan apartment, coming from my computer: fire engines, ambulances, and the never-ending urban buzz I don't even realize I'm hearing when I'm enveloped by it.
How am I hearing the sounds of Manhattan as I sit in the country? There is a Dropcam video camera in my apartment focused on my 18-year-old cat, and the camera has audio. So not only do I get to watch Simba sleeping but I also get to listen to that constant din of the city. It's quite a contrast: the city noise and the tranquil country sounds.
After I realized that every time I heard a siren it meant someone was hurt or dead, I began to try to shield myself from the sounds. Plugging music in my ears really helps, but the sirens overpower the music and they are constant in a busy city. These noises increase my need to get out into the country as often as I can.
Not long ago, I read an article called "How the City Hurts Your Brain," citing research that being in an urban environment impairs mental and creative processes. According to these researchers, open spaces are mandatory for clear and true creative thinking.
As for me, I need both the city and the country. I need to toggle back and forth in body and brain. I love living in Manhattan too. I get adrenaline from the constant buzz. But I'm aware that when I'm sitting on my couch in the city listening to the clamor of the streets below, my thoughts flow less creatively than when I'm in the country listening to crickets and birds. I need fresh air for fresh ideas, and wide open spaces for wide open thoughts. I need quiet to think quite thoughts.
So the key is to honor the mode I'm in and travel in the direction I'm being called to. My thoughts and creative mind will flow accordingly. So as I schlep back and forth, I remember that it's always worth the commute, not just for my mind, but for my spirit.

Jane Yellowrock is back on the prowl against the children of the night. The vampire council has hired skinwalker Yellowrock to hunt and kill one of their own who has broken sacred ancient rules - but Jane quickly realizes that in a community that is thousands of years old, loyalties run deep.
©2010 Faith Hunter (P)2009 Audible, Inc.
"Jane gets into a complicated stew involving human and vampire rivalries, the ancient vampire-witch conflict, the New Orleans police, and her need to balance her beast and human natures. What with puzzles, chases (including a climactic one to rescue children), lots of blood, and some explicit sex, count on this to please thriller and dark romance fans alike." (Booklist)
This is one of my favorite authors, series and narrators. I have listened to this series several times and I enjoy it more each time I listen to it. Khristine Hvam does a fantastic job with the narration. I do love the Cherokee that is brought into the story. Hearing the language of The People, just makes the story pop off the pages for me. I do listen while I am reading along, and Khristine pauses where Faith pauses (commas etc.) I think that a lot of times, we miss things when we don't see print. HOWEVER I love my audio books and this series. Jane Yellowrock is a good person as well as a great vamp killer!! And I do love Angie-baby! She will break your heart. I just want to squeeze her but Big Cat would take my head off. These are great stories, lots of background and history (at least for me), and a very interesting take on where vamps started. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Listened for Fun (Audible)
Tracking Books Read Review (Short)
Overall Rating: 4.50
Story Rating: 4.75
Character Rating: 4.25
Audio Rating: 4.50 (Not part of the overall rating)
First Thought when Finished: Blood Cross sealed the deal: I am totally invested in Jane/Beast (not so much their love life though)!
Overall Thoughts: Oddly enough on paper, I really shouldn't like this series as much as I do. There is a love triangle. There is a small bit of angst (dual personalities lend to that). Jane at times has a very "young" type of attitude. However, I am really digging the mystery and world building involved with the Jane Yellowrock series. In this particular story, I enjoyed getting to know her best friend and kiddos. Also the rogue storyline was freaking amazing and the end gutted me! I won't say it caused tears but it did cause me to gasp. Faith knows how to pack a punch and that is why I overlook the elements that drive me crazy.
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Khristine Hvam / Length: 14 hrs and 48 mins
Khristine does an amazing job with Jane/Beast. She is one of my favorite narrators but this seems to be her sweet spot. She nails the emotion, pacing, and "bite your nails" moments with such accuracy that you just get swept up into the story. Great job!
Final Thoughts: I have already read book 3 and got my hands on book 4 & 5 (in audio of course)!
5 stars is i love and i will read agani and again. 1 is i hate and i never want to hear about it ever again. YES = :))) - NO= :'(
"You Get To Know More About Vamps"
After putting off reading Jane Yellowrock first book, I immediately started reading the 2nd book.. and soon will start with the 3rd one too.. You meet Molly (Jane's best friend) and her kids, and you will love them....
The hunt goes on for the vamp maker and it gets really interesting. You learn more about vamps and very interesting and OMG moments you get while reading this book.
"good story"
the shipping of the character into beast and the dialogue that insues.
I think that they're very nice elements in this book for worth reading.I would definitely recommend this time friends that enjoy vampire mythology
her southern accents really things quite interesting. Jane Yellowrock it's definitely great voice
NoI one of those nooks.
"Loved It"
Great narration. I like to list this first as it can make or break a story.
Loved this story. Easy listerning and very entertaining. Will be impatiently waiting for any new books in audio from this author.
I really enjoy it when readers with similar reading interests list their favourite authors and series. It really helps me find new authors too follow. Mine are Charlaine Harris, Jeaniene Frost, Jennifer Estep, Faith Hunter, Molly Harper, Ilona Andrews, Kresley Cole, Deborah Harkness, Nalini Singh, Coreene Callahan and Sherrilyn Kenyon.
Happy Reading
"Blood Cross: Jane Yellowrock, Book 2"
This is another great tale with Jane Yellowrock. The author creates a strong, female character, who also is vulnerable in some ways. There is enough intrique and action to keep you interested. The story is developed well. I enjoy the toughness and sometimes softness of the main character. I look forward to future stories with Jane Yellowrock.
"Better than most!"
Ordered this book because of a review somewhere else, had minimal expectations. Oh dear, it was addicting. I will admit to going to the car and sitting in it so I could find out what happened next when I didn't have a need to go anywhere. And it was over 100° out there, but I still sat in the car to listen. I really wanted to know what happened next. When I finished this one, (book 2), the first thing I did when I got to my destination was order book 3. Good book!
Hot romance/Sci Fi we're so lucky to have Audible to feed our book addictions. I love walking my precious dog Sydney & listening to my books
"Awesome series, please give us more"
I have listened to the entire series so far and have enjoyed it very much. I hope there will be many more books to this great series. I will be purchasing them as soon as they come out. :)
Retired USN! I enjoy movies, books, traveling and making quilts.
"Blood Cross"
If I had only these two choices then I would say not well spent. The story line is really hard to follow at times, not sure what she is really after.
I really like thrillers. My favorite type of movie or book is one that has a unique perspective instead of a different version of the same story repeated by many different writers throughout the years. Many books are fine for a one-time listen, but to find one that's good enough to listen to again and again is a rare find indeed!!
"Better Than The First One!!"
"Blood Cross" picks up where "Skinwalker" ended. In my opinion, this second in the Jane Yellowrock series is better than the first. By the time I started listening to this book, the reader's accent, to which I had a slight objection in the first book, had become part and parcel of the story.
In this second book, you find out more information about Jane's background as well as about the vamps and how they came to be -- which is worth listening to both books!! This is where the uniqueness of Faith Hunter's imagination comes into play and what I truly enjoyed -- especially as a follower of Jesus, the Christ!!
The storyline is so unique!! There's plenty of danger because there's always the threat of the vamps she works for either putting her in danger from other vamps or being a threat to Jane all by themselves.
Then there's the love/lust interests. I'm not big on romantic novels, yet this novel doesn't throw in more than I can handle. Jane seems to be torn between two incredibly difficult-to-choose-from men who come into her life in the first book and are still there in the second one. I can see why SHE would have trouble choosing, but if I were in her shoes -- or boots -- I know exactly which one I'd pick!!
Surprise galore, danger just around the bend, who to trust and who not to, who to love and who not to, seeking answers to her past, finding out the origins of the vamps -- definitely a must read!! Especially if you've already read "Skinwalker"!!!
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Mythical and Fantasy Creatures
Character sheet
What is Magic?
(Taken from Wikipedia)
A magician, mage, sorcerer, sorceress, wizard, warlock, witch, enchanter, enchantress or a person known under one of many other possible terms in fiction is someone who uses or practices magic that derives from supernatural or occult sources. Magicians are common figures in works of fantasy, such as fantasy literature and role-playing games; they draw on a history of such people in mythology, legends, and folklore (see Magician (paranormal)). Although occasional practitioners of sleight-of-hand appear in modern fantasy, they are usually simulating the magic that others perform—or sometimes concealing their actual magic.
Fantasy magicians have powers arising from their study, possibly based on innate talent, rather than having their magical abilities occur entirely spontaneously, or be granted by another source. (Other fantasy characters can use magic or be magical, but they have generally not acquired their powers by study.) Still, most fantasy wizards are depicted as having a special gift which sets them apart from the vast majority of characters in fantasy worlds who are unable to learn magic.
Magicians, sorcerers, wizards, warlocks and practitioners of magic by other titles have appeared in myths, folktales and literature throughout recorded history, and fantasy draws on this background. They commonly appear in fantasy as mentors and villains, as they did in older works, and more recently as heroes themselves. Although they are often portrayed as wielding great powers, their role in shaping the fantasy world they inhabit varies; much of fantasy literature writes of medieval worlds with wizards in a fairly limited role as guardians or advisers.
Magical Types
(taken from typesofthings.com)
Types of Magic
When you think of magic, the first thing which may come to mind is a man in black tuxedo, inexplicably extricating a rabbit from a top hat. Or a performing with a female assistant, whom it appears, he has sawed in half, Magic is performed for people in order to amaze and thrill them and to make the audience believe that a supernatural act has occurred. A kind of performing art, magic has been around for centuries in various forms. It is believed that magic was being performed as far back as the 16th and 17th centuries. In fact, magic may go back even farther, as the Ancient Egyptians, Greek and Romans believed in the supernatural and its powers upon the human race. Even in the Middle Ages in Europe, alchemists believed that it was possible to turn worthless metal into gold.
Magicians sometimes prefer to be called "illusionists," as they perform acts of illusion and not necessarily magic "tricks" which can have a negative connotation. Famous modern magicians include David Blaine, David Copperfield, Penn and Teller and Harry Houdini. There are different kinds of magic that may be performed, including Close-up Magic, Club Magic and Stage Magic and Mentalism. Each of these kinds of magic include sub-categories or styles, as for example, Club magic may include sleight of hand, mentalism, escape artistry and conjuring. The type of magic performed is selected by the magician or illusionist, according to his or her own style, and may depend on the space or arena in which he or she is working.
Styles of Illusions
There are different types of illusions that magicians may perform. For instance, a magician may use vanishing or making himself or a person or object disappear as if by magic. Another type of illusion is teleportation of causing something to appear as if it has changes places or positions, for no apparent reason or by an unseen force. Another type of illusion is levitation, in which an illusionist appears to make an object or person rise, where no platform or support is beneath.The type or style of illusion often depends upon the venue that the performer selects, as it will either accentuate or inhibit his or her show.
Close-up Magic
Also known as micro-magic, this type of magic is performed in a small space, and could be done at a party, wedding, or even on the street. Prestidigitation, or "sleight of hand" is an act in which a magician uses his hands to move or manipulate objects. A card or coin trick,or cups and balls might be kinds of prestidigitation that are performed. Generally, the magician uses small props either brought with him, or from a member of the audience and makes them disappear, and then reappear or inexplicably alters them in some way. It is typical for a magician doing a close-up act to involve audience members.
Club or Parlor Magic
This type of magic involves a magician performing in a larger venue than with Close-up Magic, and might have the magician performing with a small tabletop or even small live animals such as rabbits or birds. Also, the magician might employ props such as ropes and balloons or involve an audience member. A night club or comedy club are suitable places for club magic, which is also known as stand-up, parlor or platform magic.
Stage Magic
Stage magic involves performing in front of a larger area or audience, perhaps in an auditorium or arena. The magician uses large-scale props and machinery to do his acts. For example, a magician might use a box and saw to give the illusion that he's sawing the body of a woman in half, or a box in which an audience member or assistant is placed inside, seems to disappear, and then is transported. An example of a stage magician is David Copperfield or Harry Blackstone.
Mentalism is a form of magic or illusionism in which the performer appears to defy nature with special powers of the mind. Any sort of venue will suffice for this type of magic, as it need not involve props. The magician may give the impression that he or she can predict the future or may try and read the mind of a member of his audience. The different kinds of metalism acts include hot or cold readings, mind control, psychokinesis (bending or moving an object), extra-sensory perception and clairvoyance, to name a few. One example of a famous mentalist is George Joseph Kresge, Jr. The Amazing Kreskin, an American magician who was popular during the 1970s.
Styles of Magic:
Shock magic
There are different styles of magic which illusionists may choose to perform. Shock magic is quite simply meant to shock or disturb audiences, this type of magic is grotesque and is meant to stir up the audience with shock or horror. For example, the illusionist may appear to be piercing his own body with a blade or sword.
An escapologist, or escape artist is performs acts in which he quite simply escapes from what appears to be impossible circumstances. For instance, the magician may be submerged underwater, or enclosed in a sealed box or in chains. For example, Harry Houdini was an escapologist or escape artist.
Children's Magic
As its name states, children's magic is performed for children, and may be done at a setting where children are to be present, such as a school or birthday party.
Theatrical Seances
Seances are magic performances that mimic spiritual effects. It is not to be used as though the magician were speaking with the dead or non-present parties is "conjuring" spirits.
Street Magic
As its name suggests, street magic is done on a public street and requires small props such as cards, cups and balls or coin tricks. David Blaine sometimes uses street magic. Oftentimes, magicians who perform this style of magic confront unsuspecting people or audience members in order to prompt interaction. That is, the tricks may be more impromptu in nature than with a planned or stage performance.
Mythical and Fantasy Creatures
The Adaro is half human half fish much like that of a mermaid. They are said to live in the Sun and travel to earth by rainbows. Adaro's are said to travel around the oceans on waterspouts. Unlike mermaids, Adaro are not friendly they attack humans by shooting them with flying fish.
Brownies are invisible brown elves or household goblins who live in farmhouses and other country buildings within Scotland. While the members of the household are asleep they go about doing labours for the house owners. Brownies are protective creatures and become attached to the families if the family move the Brownie will move with them. If a brownie is treated badly by the family or is offered payment the brownie vanishes without trace. Children because of their innocent nature can only see Brownies, though this does not prevent the brownies from helping adults.
The Calygreyhound is a creature from medieval heraldry, it has the body of a deer, the claws of an eagle on its forelegs and hooves of an ox on its hind legs. The Calygreyhound is meant to symbolise swiftness.
Chinese Fox
The Chinese Fox looks like a typical fox but has a life span between 800 and 1000 years. The Chinese fox has special powers, when it strikes it tail on the ground it can ignite fires, the Chinese fox can also see the future and it is a polymorph (can change its shape) The Chinese fox often appears as an old man, young girl or a academic. The Chinese fox is a trickster and a sly animal it's thought to be a bad omen to see such an animal. Chinese foxes can be found around graveyards because the souls of the dead can relocate into the body of the fox.
The Crocotta is offspring of a wolf and a dog that can be found in Ethiopia. The Crocotta was said to be able to break anything with its teeth and can eat anything. It is now thought that this creature is in fact a Hyena as they are scavenging canine creatures that live in this part of the world.
Dire Wolf
A Dire wolf is a large wolf, which are usually portrayed as been much more vicious than a normal wolf and also more intelligent. Dire Wolves are usually black though dark greys are popular as well. There is a second description of a dire wolf that says that a dire wolf is a giant wolf that has been brought back from beyond the grave to hunt down. Dire wolves tend to hunt in packs like there wolf relatives; a dire wolf can often be found leading packs of normal wolves.
Doppelganger means double walker which in normal terms is a duplicate of another person or creature. A doppelganger does not necessary have a blood relationship with its double. A doppelganger may therefore be either an astral projection or a ghost. Examples of doppelganger can be found in Robert Louis Stevenson's "Strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde".
A Gorgon is a terrifying creature, it looked similar to a human apart from its legs are replaced by a snakes tail, and that the hair of these creatures is made up of snakes. The gaze of a gorgon can turn its victim to stone if only it you look the gorgon in their eyes. The Gorgon comes from Greek mythology, there were three the first was Medusa who was a mortal gorgon, who was killed by Perseus who killed her by using the reflection that she cast onto his shield. Medusa had two sisters Sthens and Euryule who where immortal.
Gremlins are spirits of tools and machinery. They are thought to be responsible for mishaps and breakdowns with tools and equipment. Each house has an Gremlin which entered the house as an occupant of an household appliance. Originally Gremlins were friendly towards mankind and helped engineers and inventors build things but when these people took all the credit the Gremlins were insulted and from that point on they work against us.
The Gulon is mythical creature from Scandinavia, it has the front half of a lion the rear half of a hyena and the bushy tail of a fox. The creature is said to be vicious and has the sharp claws of the lion to attack with. It has been used as a symbol of gluttony.
The Haunt are dog like creatures, they are usually black. Males have two deep set red eyes and females two dark blue eyes. They live in caves deep in mountains and can live with little food and water. Every full moon the males come down into near by city's and towns to hunt. They have Poisonous saliva and claws that can drip with poison.
Hellhounds look like a well-built canine with rusty red fur. Hellhounds have glowing red eyes which a used to terrify prey there eyes also enable them to see in the dark. Hellhounds stand about four and a half foot in height. Hellhounds have the ability to breathe fire. They are very aggressive beasts and are expert hunters. They have a pack structure like wolves.
Howlers are four legged sort of dog like creature. They are furless but have tough skin. They are equipped with long claws, and are covered in hard spikes along its back. They live in dark places and are often associated with evil. They are intelligent creatures that haunt in packs like wolves. There tactic for taking down prey is to charge it as a pack then back away then charge it again, they do this until the prey has succumbed.
Jack Frost
Jack Frost is an elfish creature who personifies crisp, cold weather. Jack is said to leave patterns in the autumn leaves and the patterns in the frost that are left on windows. It is thought that Jack frost comes from Norse mythology as Jokul who was the cause of icicles.
Lamia's are a cross between an attractive human and a lion. The body part is lion, with a human torso rising from where the lions head would be, they look not unlike centaurs but lion instead of horse. Lamias are evil and cruel creatures that get pleasure in causing pain and suffering. Lamias have the magical ability to drain knowledge from those that they attack.
A Leprechaun is a small sprite that lives in farmhouses or wine cellars. Like Brownies they aid humans and accomplish small labours for them, they ask humans for supplies and furniture in return they give objects that bring luck and fortune. Leprechauns are described as merry little fellows that dress in old-fashioned green clothes with buckled shoes and they wear a red cap. They are known as fairy cobblers, as they make shoes for other elves. They never make a pair of shoes they only make one. Popular belief is that a leprechaun possesses a treasure, which a human can obtain if they succeed in capturing one, which is very difficult. Leprechauns are mainly found in Irish folklore but do appear in other countries.
Pixies or Piskies are small people who live on the dons and moors of Cornwall and Devon in the South of England. According to the myths Pixies were originally druids who resisted Christianity that they resisted the influences and the Pixies grew smaller. Another myth tells us they were a race of people who were not good enough to go to heaven but nor were they bad enough to go to Hell and were doomed to walk the earth forever. Pixies are known to steal horses and make nocturnal trips on them over the moors. Pixies like to trick humans such as throwing objects around the house. Pixies are hardworking, they work in the fields the entire night to earn some food.
Snotlings are the smallest of the greened skinned races. Orcs & Goblins use them as slaves for simple tasks as they are not intelligent creatures at about the same size of a Gnome. They are not a threat on their own to other creatures. They realise this so they form gangs that again can attack a target with numbers.
Vegetable Lamb
The Vegetable lamb or otherwise known as Tartary, Barbary Lamb or Barmotez comes from Hebrew legends. The Vegetable lamb is a lamb like creature that is grown from a tree, it remains attached to the tree and they eat the foliage in the area around the tree once there is no food left they die of starvation. The Vegetable lamb is a delicacy the meat from it is meant to taste of fish, its blood that is like honey. Its bones were used in rituals to give humans the power of farseering (predicting the future).
All heck as broken loose in the magical world. Overheard by one of the magicians, An evil sorcerer(or sorceress) is coming to take over the magical world. The magical beings in the world decide to go to the other magical beings in the world, despite their differences.
Is it now up to them to work together and defeat the evil being.

It seems to me that as recent as last spring, I had a choice if I wanted to send my package 'priority mail'. I just checked the usps site to mail out my 1 lb. 5 oz pkg and it seems I have NO choice but to send it 'priority mail' or 'flat rate priority mail'. There is only a few dollars difference. Didn't there used to be another less expensive option such as 'first class' mail for packages...or am I just going nuts in my old age??? Thanks, Linda |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi kwyet1/Linda, You are speaking of Parcel Post rates. They are a very very little bit cheaper, unless you can fit it into a small flat rate box at $4.95. Go to the link below, and fill in the zip codes, and choose PACKAGE and fill in the weight and CONTINUE, and the next page will give you the calculation for Parcel Post, which they CLAIM is 3 days. (Baloney!) I have had Parcel Post packages take up to 2 weeks. I was told that they are 'first IN, first OUT, and are sent on their way pending available room to be 'moved' on. Until there is 'room' they are stored, is my take on things. Sue |

Yes Sue, it is Parcel Post....even when I looked that up there is only $2-$3 difference between that and the 'medium flat rate' box. I guess that I am just amazed that it costs between $8 & $10.50 (or so) to mail out an item that weighs just 1-2 lbs. Thanks, Linda |
You can go HERE to see what mail zone you are from the recipient, or vice versa. You can then go HERE to see the costs of different weights to different mail zones. I think I can send a 2 LB box to everyone pretty well east of the Mississippi for $5.95 or less as they are all in mail zone 4 or less from me. That is why I won't usually respond to trade posts made by those who don't have their location shown either on their member page or in their post. Whatever I might be considering trading might be worth an outlay of $5.95, but not worth me spending $9.55. I often see folks wanting to trade flat rate boxes. I 'know' that oftentimes they could mail a box of the exact same dimensions and weight, and would pay considerable less if they paid by the pound. I guess it is just too complicated for some to consider though....besides not having a scale or any idea what a box weighs. I receive in a lot of plant trades that could have been mailed more economically had the Flat Rate box not been used. In case you or anyone is interested, below is a link to some nice (reasonably priced) postal scales at Ebay. $20 or less, including postage is a great buy. It helps me so much when sending plants or even on seeds Sue |

Hmmm....Sue, I never thought of checking someone's location before agreeing to a trade! How smart of you! I am going to try to remember that little hint (I'm definatly a member of the crs club)! Thanks again, Linda |
I also removed some things from my plants available list due them being hard to dig, and never knowing how many pounds they might weigh one I got a hunk of the plant. They were hardy hibiscus. I dug some last year for a local GW in person swap, and they were all 2 GA sized plants. I also removed yucca as I think the roots run clear down to China. |

Sue, Ha!! I do know what you mean about the roots running clear down to China! Linda |

StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm's lead designer Dustin Browder recently said that company Blizzard Entertainment is "looking at" turning the multiplayer portion of StarCraft II into a free-to-play experience.
During a panel at the Valencia eSports Congress (via PCGamesn), Browder said that the main concern was to figure out the structure for updates if balancing changes were to be made. "We don't know how [Blizzard] would monetize it. While it might be good fun for me to play against someone with only half the units available to them, that's not going to be an enjoyable experience for them."
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm is the second part of the StarCraft II trilogy and is focused on major character Kerrigan and the Zerg species. No release date has been announced yet. For more information, check out GameSpot's recent coverage on the title.

I just received this fridge, yesterday, to replace a Kenmore 18.2 cu ft fridge. We stood there just looking at it, both doors swung open, as if it were a piece of art! A reviewer stated that the fridge is noisy. Not true in our case. Quite the contrary, it is super silent. Love the warm lights in both compartments, not too bright to the naked eye late at night. SPACIOUS! Leveling it was a piece of cake. My only complaint is that the wheels do not have breaks; so, the fridge has the tendency to roll forward when opening the door. Otherwise, it is a beautiful fridge--and, for the price, a heck of a DEAL!

I love it. My old refrigerator made a lot of noise. It had to be turned all the way up to keep the food cold. This freezer is a much bigger size and I love the light in it. The new refrigerator is much quieter. The amount of space in my old refrigerator doesn't even compare to the room in this one. I don't have to take everything out to get to the food in the back of my old refrigerator which was usually freezer burned. So many features in this new refrigerator. I just love it.

Working well when delivery and plug-in. No noise is heard during day/night. It just has a little difficult to clean the front stainless steel doors.

Twenty-five members of the Cleveland/Chattanooga area and one runner who joined the group in Washington, D.C., ran to Boston in memory and honor of 2013's Boston Marathon bombing victims. The project also raised money for the victims and for a children's foundation in the Boston community.
Social media, especially Twitter, played a big role in communication throughout the journey.
"We really had two goals. One was to raise money … we really looked at nonprofits in the Boston area," Run Now Relay runner Matt Ryerson said.
The runners chose to support the One Step Ahead Foundation, which will provide "free prosthetics for children that lost limbs in that bombing" and Dream Big, which encourages girls to participate in sports and positive opportunities, Ryerson said.
The second goal was "to raise awareness for these nonprofits and many of the victims," Ryerson said.
Using #runtoboston, the teams posted updates and videos throughout the journey.
To make it all work, the runners formed several committees and had additional support staff.
Clark Campbell was in charge of leading the runners' media campaign, according to runner Cameron Fisher. Campbell was unable to attend the CMA meeting.
The idea was to get local media to provide coverage, then gain exposure through regional and national media coverage.
"I think Clark coined it. It was a 'digital marathon,'" Ryerson said.
"It really started off with the Cleveland Daily Banner," Ryerson said. "The Cleveland Daily Banner … was covering us months ahead of time [and] until several weeks after."
WCLE and other local media outlets also provided some coverage of the effort.
"It quickly grew, especially through the television networks because all those affiliates are tied [to their respective networks]," Ryerson said. "So they kind of communicate up the way. It wasn't long before we realized just how much media attention we were getting."
For Ryerson, this realization came in Knoxville when there was a TV reporter on the side of the road waiting for them — it was 11 p.m.
"Clark did a lot of work," Ryerson said.
Twitter was a successful platform for the runners to gain further exposure for their cause.
Fisher said Campbell tweeted a message to Ginger Zee of ABC's "Good Morning America," which led to some runners being featured on the show.
The segment was filmed at Central Park.
This national exposure led to donations through Run Now Relay's website, including one from Alaska and one from Hawaii.
Awareness was also raised along the route by the runners. Ryerson humorously noted runner Kyle Page "got really good at just running down the street yelling, 'We're running to Boston.'"
Throughout the run a GPS tracker helped those back in Cleveland see where the runners were through the Run Now Relay website.
By the time the runners reached New York, people were recognizing them when they stopped to eat.
This recognition led to further donations to the Boston nonprofits.
"People would give us just whatever change they had in their pocket. We had kids giving us allowance money. It was extraordinarily amazing," Ryerson said.
Ryerson said many of Boston's local media outlets came out to cover the relay runners' finish, which was the starting point of the Boston Marathons.
Four runners ran in the marathon to complete the group's goal.
Numerous local sponsors joined the cause make the journey possible.

St. Lorenzo Ruiz Comments
Lorenzo Ruiz is the first Filipino saint. He is also the first Filipino martyred for the Christian Faith. Lorenzo Ruiz was a layman, married, and had two sons and a daughter. Born in Binondo, Manila, about 1600's, he was educated in the school of the Dominicans there. He served as an altar boy and later was a helper and clerk-sacristan in the church of Binondo. He was a member of the Confraternity of the Rosary. He made his living probably as a ... Continue Reading

A true Saint,May God Bless Him

The wonderful story of this inspiring saint's life, which I had known only vaguely in the past, is powerful and moving. I feel united to faithful Catholics both around the world and throughout history when I hear such stories. I realized only this week that I would not be Catholic today had many people in the past not had the courage to evangelize others and share their faith, which was passed down to me through the faith of my father and his father, a Catholic convert who was extremely active in the Church, was a member of the Knights of Columbus, sent his son (my father) to Catholic school, and shared his faith with me in many significant ways throughout my childhood. I feel inspired to share the beauty of the faith with others when I stop to think about our magnificent legacy of faith and the richness of our great Catholic heritage.

St. Lorenzo Ruiz kindly intercede to our Lord God for the healing of my granddaughter, who was diagnosed to be within the spectrum of autism - that she be able to learn how to chew and eventually learn to talk. Also please help her Mom be accepted to work on a cruise liner so that she can support the medical needs of her daughter.

As a Mexican-American living in Asia, Korea to be precise, I have been opened to how our Catholic Faith is truly "universal." San Lorenzo, pray for us sinners, you that are in heaven, so that we may live our lives in accordance to our Lord Jesus Christ and his Church. God Bless you and all the wonderful Filipino and Korean people that have guided me in this mysterious, yet troublesome life.

St. Lorenzo Ruiz, beloved saint of the Philippines, you lived as a confessor of your Christian faith, in the face of terrible torture and bodily pain. I admire you for this. In a foreign land you must have suffered even more. Dear Saint, give all Catholics, living far away from home as immigrants or as successful professionals the courage to live as witnesses and confessors in their daily lives. When I reflect on your life I'm drawn to the lives of other Asian saints of Vietnam, Korea and India. May the Catholic church flourish, grow and be the guiding light of all Asia. I thank St. Francis Xavier the beloved Jesuit who brought Christ to the Far East. Give us countless blessings, St. Lorenzo on this your feast day. Amen.

st. lorenzo ...he wasn't aware of what was ahead of him and his companion. he just wanted to escape from a 'quarrel' with a Spaniard from the Phil. as a mere human being, at he was terrified when what lays ahead of them came into his awareness..isn't it what the usual? but raised as a pious boy and a sacristan he embraced the chance to profess his faith through shedding his blood......let us remember his words "if i have thousands of life, i will still give it for the Lord if i have them"........godbless!
