Confused? Allow me to explain. Most people will agree that digital SLRs typically take better pictures than consumer-level point-and-shoot cameras, but most people will also agree that the P&S is a lot easier to carry around that a huge honking SLR. How can you reconcile these concerns?
Samsung has apparently come up with its own proprietary solution. We first heard about the "hybrid" camera from Samsung some time back at PMA, but now the Samsung NX10 is official and ready to go. In a nutshell, you get a camera that isn't nearly as large as a conventional SLR, but it's supposed to provide SLR-like quality.
How? Well, it's a "hybrid" camera. It comes equipped with a "real" SLR sensor, but it does not actually have the single-lens reflex from which full-blown SLRs get their name. Instead, it's more akin to the Micro Four-Thirds format. It also boasts 14.6 megapixels of high resolution goodness.
What may make it less appealing to some shutterbugs is its proprietary format. The lenses that you buy for the NX10 will not work with other cameras, whereas the Four-Thirds format has several manufacturers on board. On the bright side, it'll reportedly come bundled with an 18-55mm lens and it'll shoot at up to 7 frames per second.

FYI, NX11, a new NX series has been announed at CES 2011. Refer to the the link to information provided by Pop Photo: http://www.popphoto.com/content/ces-2011-first-hands-samsung-nx11-sh100-and-wb700?pnid=71219
It has been a few monthes since NX10 released. Even there were some firmware updates. It seems that the NX10 users are satisfied with it.

Release Date:
March 27, 2007
Many of the songs on Strange Days had been written around the same time as the ones that appeared on The Doors, and with hindsight one has the sense that the best of the batch had already been cherry picked for the debut album. For that reason, the band's second effort isn't as consistently stunning as their debut, though overall it's a very successful continuation of the themes of their classic album. Besides the hit "Strange Days," highlights included the funky "Moonlight Drive," the eerie "You're Lost Little Girl," and the jerkily rhythmic "Love Me Two Times," which gave the band a small chart single. "My Eyes Have Seen You" and "I Can't See Your Face in My Mind" are minor but pleasing entries in the group's repertoire that share a subdued Eastern psychedelic air. The 11-minute "When the Music's Over" would often be featured as a live showstopper, yet it also illustrated their tendency to occasionally slip into drawn-out bombast.

Testimonies: Inner Healing |
"I feel that I continue to feel more at peace amongst the chaos in my life. My sessions have truly helped me lean on God more and trust Him with my life and the situations I am in." - Elan G. on July 18th, 2013 | |
"My anger, hate frustrations and pain towards my father and mother have left completely. I have tried and feel nothing - none of the aforementioned feelings towards my father nor my mother." - Peggy E. on July 16th, 2013 | |
"Breakthrough - primarily dealt w/relationship with my youngest son, Bret. I blamed myself for where he is, how he feels, decisions he is making, etc. Lies were exposed and truth prevailed; I did the best I could raising him under difficult circumstances and with God's help. I am set free from condemnation and have release him! And, believe with all my heart that God will have His way in my son's life. Praise God!" - Jeanette C. on July 22nd, 2013 | |
"I went for prayer for my back, knees and hips. I have a degenerative joint disease which is genetic in my family. We addressed symptom of pain in right buttock and prayed for the degeneration to stop. We went deeper into forgiveness of my father for a specific trauma at age 13, where I experienced pain, fear, abandonment, betrayed trust and anger. The knot in my solar plexus is now released. As Jesus showed me the truth of that time (age 13) I experienced joy in the knowledge that God has and will never abandon me. Praise the Lord." - Linda on October 20th, 2012 | |
"I deal with long term chronic depression. Dan was praying and leading me through some emotional pain from my childhood. I felt a tingling in the back part of my brain and it rolled to the front of my brain. I wasn't sure what happened but ever since I have experienced a freedom I have never felt; that goes beyond feeling into just a peace and confidence of being. I haven't felt any depression or depression like symptoms for weeks since this encounter. It was normal previously for me to experience despair on a weekly basis. That has been the case for decades. Ever since I was a young child. I thank God Almighty for His power, strength and mercy for this amazing gift. I also than Him for Dan and each one that is a part of this ministry." - Jason on July 28th, 2011 | |
""I lived life for 50+ years with a feeling of being rejected and not wanted. I was adopted as an infant, never knowing my biological parents. Even though my adoptive parents expressed they loved me, I couldn't quite believe that they wanted and loved me. The feeling of rejection was always in the background. My life was a roller coaster of emotions, being depressed most of the time; feeling I was unloved, not worthy of love, having a very low self-esteem and always lonely. I couldn't truly trust people and guarded all relationships because I didn't believe that they could possibly love me or that I deserved to be loved. I thought I wanted to meet my biological parents because I needed a connection to something in order to feel complete. Through inner healing, God showed me how much HE loves me, how much HE cares for me and how worthy I am to HIM, that I am HIS precious child. The connection I have is a relationship with Jesus and I now know that God placed me in the family HE wanted me to be a part of. Once I forgave my biological parents I have been able to accept things in myself that I never dreamed of. I was finally allowed to throw away all of those nagging feelings of rejection that I carried around, sometimes without even being aware of it - that I was not wanted, not loved, didn't deserve to be loved, didn't deserve even to exist. God has shown me that I was loved from the beginning. I have been healed in the most unimaginably profound way; I feel a wholeness I have never known before! Not only do I feel God's comforting presence but I feel His warm, caring, supportive, loving arms surrounding me in a way I've never felt before. Once I received HIS love, the freedom I've experience because of what God has done for me is incredible. I am no longer guarded in my relationships and the things that use to trigger my negative responses don't control me anymore. God's love and truth has set me free."" - Heather on March 13th, 2013 | |
"It's always good to come here and receive prayer and truth in my life!" - Maggie on October 14th, 2013 | |
"I asked for inner healing and the team prayed for me. They spoke of God's great love for me. That regardless of what I have experienced in the past. God is not like them. He is a good and loving God who wants me to know He's always there for me and He never leaves me nor forsakes me. I need to take the sword of the spirit to cut down the walls that I have erected for protection. The walls are cut down and can't hold me back any longer." - Lydia on September 23rd, 2013 | |
"My prayer was to be healed of grief, a broken heart, my Father who was an abuser during my childhood passed away. I prayed for closure and peace. For forgiveness of my Father and past abuse, forgiveness of my mother as well. The Lord/Holy Spirit spoke to me with comfort and arms wrapped me like I was being held and wrapped in Angel's wings and the Father's Arms. I was freed from shame, insecurities, darkness and filled with joy and peace, a lightness replaced a heavy depressed heart. I am not ready to fill any destiny by helping others and being a blessing to others who have shared this experience as well." - Sylvia T. on October 27th, 2013 | |
"I feel so much better and a load was lifted off of my soul. My mind is clear of crazy thoughts. Thank you and may God bless you. My loving God is good." - Narcisso on June 24th, 2013 | |

It's been a year since the last Nexus smartphone, so it's no surprise that rumors are starting to pop up suggesting that the Google Nexus 5 is coming soon. What is surprising is that the an anonymous tipster claims that the rumored 5-inch HTC phablet will be the basis of the new Nexus.
The Nexus 5 will supposedly run on Android 4.1.2, which brings Project Butter improvements, bug fixes and extra lockscreen functionality. On the hardware side, the Nexus 5 allegedly has a 1080p display, a Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset, 12MP main cam and an 2 MP front-facing camera. Other features inlcude a 2500mAh battery and 64GB of storage. There's also a massive 64GB of internal memory. Sounds great, but keep in mind that this is totally on the word of some random tipster. The tipster claims the information comes from within HTC, but take this all with a huge chunk of salt for the moment.
A Nexus 5 from HTC sounds like an interesting proposition, and would likely give HTC the attention in needs to help rebuild itself from its currently declining state. Just a rumor or something more? What do you think?
[ source ]
The LG Nexus 4 is coming out in a few days, how can it be a year since the previous nexus?
No scribe technology?.
Please let this be true, PLEASE! There will no better combination than pure Android + HTC hardware. Be gone, plastic phones that is samsung.
The market dictates and Apple is not suffering, but I can't see myself ever going back to a 4 inch screen again. If talking on the phone is your primary use, a 4 inch screened phone makes very good sense. It makes good sense for folks who do the bulk of their business via cell phone, and it's what I would recomend to my grandmother. As for myself though, my usage is centered on written and visual content. Composing e-mail, texts, web browsing, referencing PDF and excel files and for fun editing images in Picsay Pro. Iphone is a good product but the 3.5 inch screen was a huge step backwards for my use, and the 4 inch just isn't enough. And no, big screens aren't all that Android handset makers have (not having) going for them. But of course what would a smartphone thread be without a little ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-h!!!
Want one!
Agree with other post, a phone shouldn't be so large! Anything over 4″ gets a little ridiculous.
I think 5 inch screens are way too big and people look ignorant talking on them. Is that the only thing Android handset makers having going for themselves…bigger and bigger screens. How about innovating a little. I will never get a phone this big. Give me somewhere between 4 and 4.3 inches at the most.

News Release 096
Mark Twain State Park beach opens May 18 for the recreational season
Volume 39-096 (For Immediate Release)
For more information: 573-751-1010
The public swimming beach at Mark Twain State Park, located in Monroe County, will open May 18 and welcome swimmers this weekend.
Designated swimming beaches opened last week at Cuivre River, Lake Wappapello, Long Branch, Pomme de Terre, St. Joe, and Stockton state parks. The remaining designated swimming beaches at Finger Lakes, Lake of the Ozarks, Thousand Hills, Harry S Truman, Wakonda and Watkins Woolen Mill state parks are scheduled to open May 25.
The beaches at Lewis and Clark State Park remains closed due to damage from flooding in 2011, and Trail of Tears State Park remains closed for work on the lake's dam. Visit mostateparks.com for additional information.
Visitors to Missouri State Parks are able to sign up to receive electronic notices about the status of state park beaches by visiting http://bit.ly/HlSnaG or by checking the status of beaches at a glance on the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' website at http://bit.ly/MoStateParksBeachStatus as well as mostateparks.com. The department will notify subscribers when the beach status website is updated with the latest postings and will provide a link to view an interactive map of all state park beaches. The email or text notices will allow visitors to gain even quicker access to the information in a convenient manner.
The department samples the water at all designated beaches in the state park system weekly during the recreational season to determine suitability for swimming. The department will post the information about the beach status on the website. The sample test results indicate a snap shot of the water quality taken at the beaches at a specific time; however, a single sample does not provide an overall sense of the water quality in the lake where the beach is located.
Missouri's state parks and historic sites offer something to suit everyone's taste - outdoor adventure, great scenery and a bit of history. With Missouri's 85 state parks and historic sites, the possibilities are boundless. For more information about Missouri state parks and historic sites and swimming beaches, visit mostateparks.com.

Welcome to "La Casa Fina!"
Capture the full charm of the Carmel-by-the-Sea experience in this tidy two bedroom, two-bath cottage called La Casa Fina that is within walking distance of the heart of the village, with its many shops, boutiques, art galleries and award-winning restaurants. Located in a sunny, quiet neighborhood, this friendly one-story dwelling, which has been freshly painted inside, can accommodate up to six.
Upon your arrival you will be greeted with complimentary hors d'oeuvres and wine or sparkling cider, passes to the renown Spa on the Plaza in downtown Monterey, tickets for a wine tasting at Scheid Vineyards' tasting room in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and a basket of local information. An assigned concierge vacation house manager is available to assist you during your stay. We have also provided spa amenities in the bathrooms, plush spa bathrobes, slippers, oversized towels and beach gear. Everything you could think to want, from down comforters to hair dryers to food processors, is provided.
A seashore motif, replete with shells, driftwood and soft sun-washed colors of sea-foam blue, sand and white, melds with Pottery Barn flair to produce an environment that is sophisticated yet offers total relaxation and escape. The spacious living room features a coved ceiling with spot lighting, three large paned windows with white shutters that allow in lots of light, hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace. Comfortable yet stylish furnishings are accessorized with plenty of pillows and soft, textured throws.
Enjoy gourmet meals in a separate dining room - with built-in cabinetry and a view out through hydrangeas and an orange tree to the street - that can seat six people at the sturdy wooden farmhouse table. Place settings and table linens are provided. Adjacent is the fully-equipped kitchen with its cabinetry painted in a deep ocean blue, tile floor, a self-cleaning gas stove, refrigerator and various small appliances (there is no dishwasher in this kitchen - catch up with loved ones while doing the washing up after shared meals). A separate laundry room with stacking washer-dryer is just off the kitchen.
The sunny master bedroom, decorated in sea-foam green and earth tones, has a king-sized bed with luxury linens, plenty of built-in cabinets and closets and views out through bougainvillea blossoms to a spacious back deck. The master bathroom with tumbled-marble tile has a large step in shower with bench seat and is equipped with sturdy hand-rails.
A second bedroom, which has two twin beds with luxury linens that can be put together to form a king with Memory Foam topper, looks out to a smaller back deck and a bistro table and chairs where you can enjoy the fresh ocean air while you sip your morning coffee.
Adjacent to the second bedroom is a sunroom where you can cozy up to read a book from the library provided. Or, the day bed in this cheerful space can be made into to two additional twin beds or a king to convert the room into a third sleeping area. Both of these rooms likewise are decorated in sea-foam green and earthen colors. A second pristine white bathroom in the hallway between the two bedrooms has a tub and separate shower, also equipped with hand rails.
Two decks in back surrounded by a hedge of pampas grass and furnished with wrought iron chairs, tables, a chaise lounge and a gas grill, provide plenty of sunny space for relaxation, recreation or dining.
Two cars can be parked in the driveway; additional street parking is available. The garage at this property is not available to guests. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, subject to owner's approval.

Mom's Dirty Secret
I grew up in a normal family household. My dad was very hard working and was always busy. My mom was the typical housewife, always doing something around the house. They did have a dirty secret, though, especially Mom. I never spied on my parents having sex, until one night when I woke in the middle of the night and heard their bed springs making creaky noises. I was slightly curious, so I snuck to hear them at it for the first time. I heard through their door as Mom called out a name while Dad was banging her. My biggest surprise was that she had called out my name. I couldn't imagine for one minute that Mother would have the hots for me. Then I thought it might be a fantasy character or a movie star she was thinking about. Dad was very open-minded. As long as he enjoyed her horniness, he didn't care.

Yeats had the good fortune to form, in the late '90s, one of the most important friendships of his life. He met Lady Gregory when his need for a staying influence was crucial. He had not entirely escaped the results of the romantic violence let loose (more into their personal lives than into their poetry) by the poets of the decade, in their revolt against respectable bourgeois strictures. He has indicated the nature of his own crisis in Dramatis Personae. "When I went to Coole [Lady Gregory's estate in Galway] the curtain had fallen upon the first act of my drama. . . . I must have spent the summer of 1897 at Coole. I was involved in a miserable love-affair. . . . Romantic doctrine had reached its extreme development. . . . My nerves had been wrecked."
Lady Gregory, whom Yeats met through Arthur Symons and Edward Martyn (Martyn's demesne, Tillyra, adjoined Coole), was a woman of much cultivation and generosity of spirit. Yeats had lost the power to impose upon himself regular habits of work. Lady Gregory, who was later to write out the Irish legends in the simple speech of the peasants of her countryside, took him from cottage to cottage collecting folklore. Coole and its environs were to give the mature Yeats a background for his later work, as Sligo had given him a scene for his earlier. With his technical apprenticeship and his most excessive enthusiasms behind him, Yeats turned away from the middle-class culture of Dublin to the people of Galway farms and villages, "Folk is our refuge from vulgarity." Once he had regained "a tolerable industry," his grasp on reality was further strengthened by the struggle to found what was to become the Abbey Theatre. To this task he and Lady Gregory, with the help of Edward Martyn and George Moore, now applied themselves.
Yeats knew that nothing was read in Ireland but "prayer books, newspapers, and popular novels." He also knew that the Irish had been trained, by politics and the Church, to listen. They were a potential audience, in the primary sense of that word. He had already formed in Dublin the National Literary Society, with the intention of giving "opportunity to a new generation of critics and writers to denounce the propagandist verse and prose that had gone by the name of Irish literature." He now wanted a literary theater. He had written plays, but had no stage, unless it were the stage of small halls, where they could be presented.
Against him were ranged the entrenched powers of the commercial theatre, the Church, and the press, the last two informed with the special Irish fear of "humiliation" and misinterpretation, bred from Ireland's peculiar political situation. "But fight that rancor I must." He fought it for more than ten years, not only for the sake of his own plays, but for the plays of other Irish dramatists, particularly Synge. His own plays caused mild trouble. Synge's Playboy, presented in 1904, brought on a week of riots and emptied the Abbey Theatre for months. But Yeats held out, against an enraged Dublin and an intimidated company. By 1912 the public had learned how to listen to imaginative drama with appreciation, to satiric plays without resentment. The Irish Dramatic Movement had come through, at the cost of great energy and courage expended by its founders. Yeats then turned away from the "popular" theatre, and began to write plays which could be presented in a room by a few amateurs and musicians, plays which could carry his special music and dramatic formality with the least theatrical machinery.

Introducing The Frederique Constant Runabout Chronograph, Available In Two Variants Of Stainless Steel
Frederique Constant has grabbed HODINKEE headlines in recent years by offering in-house movements at an affordable price point. We showcased the brand's Classics Manufacture earlier in March and its Worldtimer complication last year. Without a doubt, Frederique Constant has demonstrated skill at catering to watch enthusiasts who desire both quality and accessible pricing. Now the brand is making waves again – only this time in the water. While this new chronograph doesn't feature an in-house movement, it has a lot to offer.

Fester: A celebration of death
17/05/12 || Sokaris
All signs pointed to this album being something right up my alley despite the fact that I wasn't familiar with Norway's extreme metallers Fester before my initial spin of the "A celebration of death". Considering the band's name and title for this release, I expected the kind of dark, morbid death that used to thrive back in the band's heyday, the early 90s. The album also greets us with excellent cover that has to come from godlike artist Eliran Kantor whose work you may have seen on Sigh's "In somniphobia" earlier this year. Unfortunately this album left me pretty cold, and not in a grim black metally kind of way either. I just found that the whole album came off as lifeless and honestly extremely boring. That combined with probably the worst snare sound I've ever heard didn't do much to bring me into the songs. Stylistically the band play a sort of atmospheric black/death, but lacking of aggression, passion or emotion. Imagine merging Dark Tranquillity and Necrophobic… and then stripping both bands of everything that makes either one interesting. It's certainly not the worst thing I've heard in 2012 but it was the hardest to stay awake through.

Disappointment in the Capitol
We folk who inhabit the Statehouse even when there's not much going on are wondering what we'll see in the post-Christmas holiday hallways of the newly refurbished State Capitol.
We're figuring lobbyists -- who are Statehouse regulars -- already are aware they didn't get the gift they've been wanting: The privilege of scooching past the security gates to save time when they whistle into the building to do their lobbying duties. They'll stand in line like nearly everyone else to get their packages and briefcases inspected and walk through the metal detectors to go about their business.
The Legislative Coordinating Council, which manages nearly everything that goes on in the Statehouse, last week didn't go for a proposal for some special ID tag for registered lobbyists so they don't have to stand behind the visiting third-grade class as its members are put through the security check or the delegates from the American Association of Retired Persons as they are checked.
We're figuring, though, many of the in-a-hurry lobbyists -- the boys at least -- will not grouse about delays if they are in line behind the visiting college cheerleaders as they are inspected for security breaches.
So, that's a group that didn't get what it wanted for Christmas ... and probably won't until House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, takes over as Coordinating Council chairman in 2014.
We don't know what will happen if lobbyists don't get an express lane for clearing security in a hurry. They might not have time to take legislators to lunch.
But the Christmas surprise most of us are waiting to observe will be the red sport coats ultra-conservative Tea Party members likely are to get for Christmas and wear to the Statehouse.
The concept is fairly simple, as expressed at a Tea Party meeting last month: If political conservatives wear red sport coats, legislators will be looking out at the audience in committee rooms and see if they don't vote conservative ... those red-blazer wearers are going to notice and report them back to their home districts.
The ultra-conservatives have a relatively novel idea: Make legislators know they are being watched. We're guessing those who get red sport coats under the holiday tree know the Christmas song: "We know when you've been sleeping, we know when you're awake, we know if you've been bad or good, so vote conservative, for goodness sake!"
Us Statehouse folk -- whose coats tend to be camel or blue or even a few wayward plaids -- will be watching Christmas-fresh red sport coats to show up here when the Legislature convenes and to see which legislators tend to vote more conservatively when the room is awash with those eye-catching coats.
What we don't know for sure and are anxious to see is whether those folks who get red sport coats for Christmas will get the red slacks to go with them...

I'm finally back at Butler! After an extremely short week off, I finally made it back this morning. Last night, I'm assuming because I was so anxious to come back, I could not for the life of me fall asleep! I tried all the tricks in the book: relaxing, counting sheep, hiding under the covers, crying, puking, anything! Well maybe not all of that but close. I fell asleep around 2:30 and woke up at 6:30 to drive back. And after a two hour drive, I finally made it!
Once I got to my room, I immediately grabbed a Red Bull so I wouldn't collapse and unpacked all of my things. Then I printed out all of the papers I wrote during break before everyone else in my building returned before the printer jammed, which always seemingly happens! Afterwards I was able to go get frozen yogurt with my friends to get ready for classes tomorrow.

Urban fantasy is a sub-genre of fantasy defined by place; the fantastic narrative has an urban setting. Urban fantasy exists on one side of a spectrum, opposite high fantasy, which is set in an entirely fictitious world. Many urban fantasies are set in contemporary times and contain supernatural elements. However, the stories can take place in historical, modern, or futuristic periods, and the settings may include fictional elements. The prerequisite is that they must be primarily set in a city.[1][2]
Urban fantasy describes a work that is set primarily in the real world and contains aspects of fantasy. These matters may involve the arrivals of alien races, the discovery of earthbound mythological creatures, coexistence between humans and paranormal beings, conflicts between humans and malicious paranormals, and subsequent changes to city management.[3][4]
Though stories may be set in contemporary times, this characteristic is not necessary for the fiction to be considered urban fantasy,[1] as works of the genre may also take place in futuristic and historical settings, real or imagined.[3] Author Marie Brennan has set urban fantasy in Elizabethan London, while author Charles de Lint has featured the genre in the fictional city of Newford.[2][5]
Many urban fantasy novels geared toward adults are told via a first-person narrative, and often feature mythological beings, romance, and various female protagonists who are involved in law enforcement or vigilantism.[1][6] Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series—which follows the investigations of a supernatural Federal Marshal during paranormal cases—has been called a substantial and influential work of the genre.[7] Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan novels, also regarded as inspirational works, feature a bounty-hunting "witch-born" demon who battles numerous supernatural foes.[8] The Charlie Madigan series, by Kelly Gay, explores the challenges a police officer faces while trying to balance her paranormal cases with life as a single mother.[3]
In addition to books which present largely independent characters, certain stories feature men and women who are regularly partnered on adventures—often with an underlying romantic element. The Jaz Parks series, by Jennifer Rardin, follows the titular CIA operative and her vampire boss as they combat supernatural threats to national security.[9] Jocelynn Drake's Dark Days novels follow a vampire named Mira and a vampire hunter named Danaus, who work together to protect their people from a mutual enemy.[10] Night Huntress, a series by Jeaniene Frost, centers around a half-vampire named Catherine and a vampire bounty hunter called Bones, who gradually become lovers while battling the undead.[11] Other series such as Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series and Hazel Butler's Deathly Insanity series feature different protagonists who offer varying perspectives on overlapping plots, and may be in different locations. For example, Chasing Azrael in the Deathly Insanity series is narrated by necromancer Andee Tilbrook, as she navigates a serial killer case, while Death Becomes Me is told from the perspective of Evelynn Dempsey, whose life in Manchester is thrown into chaos when she discovers her boyfriend is a demon, and he's stolen something very precious.[12] Armstrong's books are similarly narrated by various characters, including werewolf Elena Michaels, and witch Paige Winterbourne.
While several adult stories focus on professional heroes, many teen urban fantasy novels follow inexperienced protagonists who are unexpectedly drawn into paranormal struggles. Amidst these conflicts, characters often gain allies, find romance, and, in some cases, develop or discover supernatural abilities of their own.[6] In Kelley Armstrong's The Darkest Powers series, a group of teens with paranormal talents go on the run while fleeing from a persistent band of scientists.[13] Gone, by Michael Grant, follows an isolated town in which adults have mysteriously disappeared, leaving a society of super-powered children behind.[14] In Unearthly, by Cynthia Hand, a girl discovers that she is part angel and gifted with superhuman abilities, leading her to seek out her purpose on Earth.[15] The Immortals series, by Alyson Noël, follows a girl who gains special abilities after recovering from an accident, and also grows close to a mysterious new boy at her school.[16] In addition, love triangles play a prominent part in these and several other urban fantasy novels.[17][18]
In certain books, a boarding school or similar institution holds a significant role in the story. Rampant, by Diana Peterfreund, follows a group of young women at a cloisters as they train to fight killer unicorns.[19] The House of Night series, by P. C. and Kristin Cast, presents a school where future vampires are disciplined while on the path to transformation, during which several romantic conflicts and other clashes ensue.[20] Claudia Gray's Evernight novels center around a mysterious academy, where a romantic bond develops between a girl born to vampires, and a boy who hunts them.[21] Fallen, by Lauren Kate, revolves around a student named Luce who finds herself drawn to a boy named Daniel, unaware that he is a fallen angel who shares a history with her.[22] Other series, such as Carrie Jones's Need, have characters moving to new locations but attending public schools while discovering mysterious occurrences elsewhere in their towns.[23]
A common thread running through almost all teen urban fantasy is that, in addition to these teens dealing with stakes possibly as large as the fate of the world, they're also coming into their own and learning who they are. These coming-of-age themes and a teen 'voice' are what distinguish young adult urban fantasy from adult books in the genre.[24]
In an online commentary, author Jeannie Holmes described differences between urban fantasy and paranormal romance.[1]
" | The two share 90% of their genre DNA. However, the main differences are this: Urban fantasy focuses on an issue outside of a romantic relationship between two characters. Paranormal romance focuses on a romantic relationship between two characters and how outside forces affect that relationship. The best litmus test to determine if a story is urban fantasy or paranormal romance is to ask the following question: 'If the romance between Character A and Character B were removed, would the plot still stand as a viable storyline?' If the answer is 'yes,' chances are good it's urban fantasy. If the answer is 'no,' it's most likely paranormal romance. | " |
In the case of urban fantasy novels, the use of other media has become a common part of creation and promotion.
"Sometimes the songs influence the book and sometimes it's the other way around, but either way the playlist eventually comes to epitomize the feeling of the book to me."
Several urban fantasy authors cite music as an inspiration. On their official Websites, certain writers recommend numerous songs (or "playlists") which can be listened to while reading portions of their novels. In addition, authors such as Courtney Allison Moulton, Jaye Wells, and Sarah J. Maas have linked to services which offer such tracks.[26][27] Publishers have also used music for book videos, including the trailer for Carrie Jones's Captivate, which features the work of songwriter Derek Daisey.[28][29]
Original music is also produced. In 2010, musicians Alexandra Monir, Michael Bearden, and Heather Holley (a songwriter for Christina Aguilera's Stripped) collaborated to create songs for Monir's debut novel, Timeless.[30]
Book trailers are often used to promote urban fantasy novels.[31] Publishers such as HarperCollins also produce regular video interviews with debuting authors.[32]
Adaptations of urban fantasy novels have appeared in comic books and manga. Among the tales to be adapted are Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series,[33] Patricia Briggs's Mercy Thompson stories,[34] and Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely.[35]
Several tales of urban fantasy have appeared in live-action format. Additionally, some stories have debuted as films before finding further success as television shows. Well-known examples include the 1992 series Highlander, and the TV adaptation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which is regarded as a seminal work of the genre.[6]
Certain staples of urban fantasy novels are also present in television shows. The concept of peaceful coexistence with paranormal beings is explored in the 1996 series Kindred: The Embraced, which focuses on secret vampire clans throughout San Francisco.[36] Works such as Witchblade present the more common matter of a protagonist attempting to protect citizens.[37]
While urban fantasy novels are often centered around heroines, live-action works have regularly featured both genders in leading roles.[38] Shows such as Supernatural, The Tomorrow People, Beauty and the Beast, Forever Knight, Moonlight, The Dresden Files, and Grimm are based around male protagonists, while other programs, including Once Upon a Time, Lost Girl and Witchblade, focus largely on women.[39]
According to Library Journal, "traditional urban fantasy" arose as an acknowledged sub-genre in the late 1980s and early '90s.[40]
Several publications and writers have cited authors Laurell K. Hamilton and Kim Harrison as notable contributors to the genre. Entertainment Weekly,[41] USA Today,[42] and Time[7] have recognized the longevity and influence of Hamilton's stories, while The New York Times[43] and Amazon.com[44] have noted the work of Kim Harrison. Author Courtney Allison Moulton has cited Hamilton's early works among her inspirations.[45] Kelly Gay has noted Hamilton, Harrison, and Emma Bull as primary influences.[46]
The term "urban fantasy" has been in use in print from as far back as the early 20th century. However, when used then, the term described a characteristic of some object or place. For example, in Horst Schmidt-Brummer's 1973 book about Venice, California, he adds the subtitle, "An Urban Fantasy", to denote nostalgia for what he feels is a bygone lack of appreciation for the uniqueness of the city.[47] And in various New York Times advertisements in 1928 through 1930 for the St. Regis hotel, the term appears to imply that the hotel's setting is a sort of paradise: "Never was an Urban fantasy so enchanting..."[48]
It was not until the 1980s that the term began to describe a style of fiction, either written, performed in theatre, or filmed for Hollywood and television. An example of this is Marta Randall's San Francisco Chronicle review of Down Town by Tappan King, illustrated by Viido Polikarpus. In it, Randall states that the book is "the most engaging of the current crop of urban fantasies".[49] Another example is a 1987 New York Times article concerning the conclusion of a study conducted by the BBC about violence in U.S. television, which calls the television series The Equalizer a "highly popular urban fantasy".[50]

@MrsWinslow - It depends on how you add the protein. You'll notice that the recipe given actually doesn't include nuts; it has soy flour. Soy flour and whey protein are ways to add protein without adding a ton of calories.
If you're interested in weight loss, keep in mind that it's not just about reducing calories. You'll want the food you eat packed with nutrition. Foods high in protein will be more satisfying than other foods, and reducing fat but not calories won't do you any good. (Good fats are important to eat and, again, will help you feel fuller.) Fill up with fruits and veggies so your tummy won't feel empty, sure, but don't forget fats and proteins to help you keep feeling full.

National Hot Dog & Sausage Council Kicks Off Hot Dog Month With 'Hot Dog City' Web Site

"Hot Dog City" features an interactive cityscape
The Council estimates Americans eat seven billion hot dogs during peak season, from Memorial Day to Labor Day. That's 818 hot dogs per second.
With food prices rising at an unprecedented pace, the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council unveiled two new recipes that are high in flavor and nutrition but low in cost
As Americans plan their menus for what is the secnd biggest eating day of the year —Super Bowl Sunday — the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council has released a new sausage chili recipe that is sure to be a crowd pleaser during the big game and all winter long.
Juggling schoolwork and meal preparation can be challenging, especially when children are picky eaters. Experts say, however, that children's favorite foods can be 'anchors' to encourage children to eat the variety of foods that are so important for their growing bodies.
New York City eats the most hot dogs according to the "Top Ten Hot Dog Eating Cities" of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (NHDSC).

What a dumb thing to measure - you can't measure someone's potential.
And now we're going to have to hear about how we all jumped down her throat for bragging in the next 10 threads she replies to. Poor little girl. This is going to get so f@#kg old. It already is.
Nah, I've grown thick skin and realised a lot of this forum is about getting pissed off at anyone else who does marginally well. And why are you still replying if you think its getting old!
Ha-ha... And you certainly proved on this and other threads that you don't have any mental capacity at all, except the bragging one .
Yes but at least I am acting my age If you read one of the threads I posted on, I have more knowledge about it than all of you, not really proud of that - its not a great thing to know about but if you understood it at all - you'd probably think maybe I shouldn't be running every day.
Her age graded score is only 66% which is really unimpressive. Nothing to brag about.
LOL well in New Zealand there are barely any my age which run, actually - here we aren't allowed to run marathons until we're 18, and I only just turned 19. What a biased measure that is! In fact, if that's my score - and I am ahead of all my friends who have a coach and run five times a week - speed work and all - hate to think what theirs is at 20 and 25 years old! They must be wasting a lot of time!
Hey, lay off the little girl! More is less, don't ya know? I'm going to try a marathon with no training miles and see how that works. She might be on to something here! All these world-class runners, coaches, and physiologists who've spent many decades building a knowledgebase of training techniques and results are probably all in on one of the greatest scams ever! Training plans? Pfffttt... who needs that kind of commitment? Just run once or twice a week and then run a marathon in 3:26!
Yes! I'm in!
Hey just be careful if that's not what you're used to But if you're up for a try of it - i'd like to hear how you go
The hard part is learning to graciously accept the adulation of the less gifted without reminding the rest of us of how much we want to be just like you.
So it IS a jealousy thing?

Yup, I definitely want to be 19 again and this time be blonde.

11/16/14 Bucks County Marathon - 4:14:28

I mean this with all seriousness... RunWithASmile, why are you on this forum?
As a side note, someone needs to patent a sarcasm font.
"And why are you still replying if you think its getting old!"
This was my first time mentioning your constant poor-me-I'm-such-a-victim blather. I was hoping you'd get the message to stop whining but apparently not.
Get over the jealousy thing, you're really not that good.
-----------------------------------------Testing, testing....123. This thing still work?
This thread has too many words.

"You're only as good as your last race..."
I suspect that when she's good, she's really good... but when she's bad... she's better!
Matt, don't do that, she doesn't understand humor and will now attempt to explain how yes, when she's bad she's better than all of us and we should be jealous.
I've already decided that I must have her. She will be mine, dammit!
And also, who wants to lay bets that my "you're not that good" remark will get the listing of races and results again? I'm pretty sure that's coming...
Lol Matt, I hope you have a muzzle at home.

Oh, and by the way... in case I failed to mention it...
I think that there is too much emphasis on the long run.
One other thing that needs correcting in your post, Runswithawhine: Age-grading is not "biased" in the least, it's based on World Records. Your 66% is average for a local level, not even Regional Class. So...not so great. When you can get to National Class numbers, then you start preening.
Fixed it.
So much jealousy in this thread! And words! So many words!
I'm so jealous of how well you made your point in just 11 words and 3 exclamation marks. I write and I write and I write but then you come out and just...poof! A sentence. I'll never be as good as you, Matt. ::sniff::
Too much emphasis on the long sentences.
I love this thread! Keep it going!
You can't measure potential.....well, what I would say is that some day you will learn that people are given certain gifts and talents in life. Someone might be good at singing or throwing a football or physics or running. Who cares. It is really what you make of it. You will learn that the most successful people in life are those who understand how to work hard to achieve what they want - whether it is their natural talent or not. The losers don't know how to work for anything.
Do you have a faster marathon time than me? Yes. But you are 19!! Your time isn't that great and I'm not that far off even though I'm almost 20 years older than you. I ran a faster half than you did in your first try with not a whole lot of running. There are a ton of people much older than you here that are faster than you. It doesn't matter how you get there, it is what you are willing to achieve. Some people know how to achieve - how to attain goals that seem out of reach to others - and others only know how to work with what is handed to them. I see it everyday in the workplace. I see people like you. We fire them.
Run one day a week, run two, no one cares, but don't act like you know everything. Hopefully your future self will look back and laugh loudly at your 19 year old self.
What are you saying? That 19 years old don't know everything already? Oh... You MUST be jealous! And you are all really OLD, you jealous people...
When I was young I knew everything.
I see it everyday in the workplace. I see people like you. We fire them.

This is just the best. Well done renrun.
Now that said, I think we might be missing a hidden talent. She hijacked the thread from the barefoot wanker, and parlayed it into a serious offer from Mr. MattM. She's got something there.
Because I like to run...duh
Lol no, Im not that good..im just ok. Plus - I am certainly not jealous of your profile picture
Thank you - No no of course I don't - I wouldn't even call what I do 'training,' everyone says to me 'imagine what you could do if you train' and heck I've been told it enough on here I had a coach once, lasted about 2 months then he went ape at me for not turning up, I had an assignment to do.... I was 13. I refused to go anymore and then he said "if I knew you went to (my school) I would never have trained you" My friends who are coached get abused, end up in tears after a bad race and go in a huff whereas I get praised by mum and my place or time does not disappoint me. I don't have to impress anyone and I don't want to. This is why I don't follow a training schedule or get a coach.
And why the heck do I even want to go to the Olympics!?!?! Weirdo
Neither I seem to write heaps also :/
I don't want to be the fastest here you freak! My only point I try to make is I can run a perfectly good marathon and feel good about it on minimal training
Indeed. My little RunWithaSmile has more talent in her little toe than the lot of you, combined!
Everytime I see that name, RunWithaSmile I think of the movie Dances With Wolves... Stands With a Fist...
One other thing that needs correcting in your post, RunsWithaWhine: Age-grading is not "biased" in the least, it's based on World Records. Your 66% is average for a local level, not even Regional Class. So...not so great. When you can get to National Class numbers, then you start preening.
Too funny! My dear RunsWithaWhine, I'm at National Class with my half PR. I wasn't aware it was synonymous with the Olympics, but you have so much to teach me. Anyway, didn't mean to make you jealous (which you must be by your reasoning), but I do hope it gives you some perspective about this audience.
+1 to Rerun, excellent post.
ETA: "you freak" "weirdo" and resorting to comments on avatars. Are you sure you're 19? Sounds like you're 12 with the name calling.
Speaking of little toes, where's Barefoot Gentile? On his way to New Zealand?
Matt, I am pretty sure SmiledAfterSheFinishedRunning still knew much more when she was much younger than you. Without even knowing about it.
Matt, I am pretty sure SmiledAfterSheFinishedRunning still knew much more when she was much younger than you. Without even training.
What this whole pissing contest thread reminds me of, a bit, is that guy Tigers84 (I might have the numbers wrong) who was SO PROUD of making his 3:45 goal....except that his shorter distance times pointed to something like a 3:15 (I am making things up, a little, because this was all on the old, lost site) and so I told him I was not going to tell him "good job" because it WASN'T. Running a faster-than-most time is good, but if your shorter-distance times point to something much better, you're coasting on your talent, not actually doing anything notably "good".
And he got so angry at me, and the others who commented that he hadn't done much! But then he got thoughtful, and he started training more seriously, and he started racking up the REALLY good finish times - by any measure - and the last I heard from a mutual friend his PR is 2:50:xx.
Some people can run 4:00/3:30/2:59 on minimal training; some have to run 50/70/110 mpw to get it. I ran a 4:07 on about 17mpw, and sub-4 on about 35mpw, but I'm not going to tell someone running 50mpw and managing a 4:15 that maybe if she just ran less she'd get that sub-4, because after all, I did it.
The whole 'less is more' thing baffles me. It seems to me that if someone actually likes running, they would, you know, want to run.

You can't measure potential? And here I am my whole life listening to people tell me I have none. I wish I had known... I would have told them they don't know what they're talking about.
Don't worry.

And my apologies to all the parents who won't be able to get that phrase (complete with accent) out of their heads for the rest of the day.
Happy Friday, everyone.
So you've got natural talent, great. But I bet if you trained with conventional capitalization you'd be one of the top post-fixers in your age group!
Apostrophes wouldn't hurt either. Or should I say apostrophe's wouldnt hurt either. Or is it apostrophies?

Does anyone have any experience with the Dunk-Kit full immersion firearm cleaning kit from Cylinder & Slide?
1.75 Gallon UNIVERSAL DUNK-KIT
I've been doing a lot of shooting the past year and have been falling behind in keeping things clean. This looks like it could be great, especially for my P7's where the gas delayed action results in powder residue getting basically everywhere. I'd love to give them (and my other pistols) a full cleaning in every nook & cranny by just dunking the whole think in a tank, swishing it around, and hanging to dry.
Any good or bad opinions? Any competitive products out there?
