Dr. Lopez has been trained in one medical specialty.
Neurology is a medical specialty that encompasses the study, diagnosis, treatment and management of neurological diseases. Neurologists, physicians who practice neurology, may treat patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Patients may be referred to Neurologists from other physicians such as their family doctor, or they may seek the care and expertise of a neurologist on their own accord.
Neurologists are trained to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions and diseases relating to the nervous system, such as headaches, stroke, epilepsy, seizures, injuries to the brain and spine, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, various types and forms of pain, sleep disorders, multiple sclerosis and psychiatric disorders, among others. When diagnosing these and related disorders, Neurologists may utilize a variety of diagnostic procedures.
Neurologists often work as part of a multidisciplinary medical team, providing care for patients with complicated or advanced diagnoses. For example, neurologists often work in conjunction with psychiatrists, as the two medical specialties are closely related, and sometimes overlap. Neurologists also work in collaboration with physical therapists, as many neurological disorders can affect motor skills.

From: peter collinson <
The Quadcity Roostertails would like to make a formal proposal that district 4 sponsor one or two classes at a cost of 175$ a class. After all it is because of the Evansville club that the district has this money because when d4 said that we would put on the 200x nats Evansville
stepped up and let us use the lake. I would like to have all d4 clubs vote on this and send Paul your votes buy April 1 2011.

Thread: Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews

Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews
If not mistaken there about 3 or 4 people here who read Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews, and I've seen the series mentioned a couple of times as of late that I thought it might be worth it to have a thread discussing the series.
I have to say that the first book in the series wasn't a good one, and I think it's what mainly puts people off in the series. But in my opinion, the series improves vastly in quality from the 2nd book on.
At this moment, this series stands a close 2nd to my favorite series in Urban Fantasy The Dresden Files. And the series is all about how kickass Kate Daniels is for me. She talks the talks and walks the walks.
There are 5 books out at the moment with the latest one being Magic Slays that just came out in May. Not my favorite in the series, but another great addition with a good setup for the next installment.
For those that don't know, it seems like there are only a couple of more books planned for the series in addition to two spin-off novels. So for fans of the series, this might not be good news, but for those of you that like to see a series actually end, then this might be enough of an incentive to keep an eye out for the series.
So who here reads this series?

I read the first one, but that's it. I keep seeing people saying that it gets much better, so one of these days I'll have to try the second.
I think my second favorite after Dresden is Felix Castor. Although Felix might have to duke it out with Joe Pitt, depending on my mood at the time.

I love the Kate Daniels series. Hated the first. The chip on her shoulder was the size of Jupiter. I had the sense that she would punch a mailman in the face for looking at her funny, and I had a sense that the authors truly believed that her blind aggression was cool and empowering. The series outgrew that, and I came to love it. I'm impatient for the next book.
I do like bad-ass Kate, but that's not the source of my love.
I've come to see how the secondary characters bring a series to life. The primary characters, like the Protagonist, the Love Interest, the Suspicious Cop, the Vampire King, the Rival, they're like pawns on a chessboard; the author has a purpose for each of them. They move the story along. But it feels to me like the charactes who don't fit into that template are the ones who bring life to a story.
For instance, there's a series where the first book introduces an old man who's a fantastic Creole chef and an incorrigible flirt. His scene is the most lively, fun scene in the book. He gets killed off. Because that series is bad, and it has no room for anyone but its Major Players.
But the Kate Daniels series is good, and there's a southern medic who's a were-badger and makes all his patients drink iced tea, but he makes the iced tea far too sweet. He's not a major character by a long shot; he has no preconceived Role To Fulfill; but when Kate gets a cut on her arm and she starts thinking, "Oh damn, now I'll have to go to the clinic and he'll make me drink that horrible tea," it creates a really enjoyable sense of continuity -- of stepping back into this world I enjoy.
Curran's foster father, the bear. Ghastek's beautiful assistant. Julie. Derek. Jim. Each of these characters adds life and fun to the series, and I'm always eager to learn more of each of them.
That, to me, is why I love this series as I do. Yeah, the authors understand action, and they know their way around a climactic battle. They make their magic interesting. But I return for the characters, especially the ones who are there for more than just Moving The Story Along.
I have similar feelings with the characters in the Dresden Files. I want to know how Michael is doing, what's happening in Thomas' life, etc. I'm eager for more. I tune in to these two series to get my fix of these characters and their world, as much as I tune in knowing that the climax will be worth every second that led up to it.
In most of these series, I don't care about the characters. There's one series where the writing is fun but I hate the characters and want them all to die except the dog.
Reading the Kate Daniels short stories has left me with a sad feeling that all the characters are Meant To Be Paired Up, Romantically. (Spoilers) Kate and _____n. Derek and ____e. Jim and ___i. Andrea and ______l. I don't really go in for this sort of thing, and I hope more ambiguity develops.

We seem to have similar tastes. I also like the Hollows series a lot. That gives me hope that I'll appreciate Kate Daniels more if I do try the next one.
July 9th, 2011, 01:57 PM #6
It's currently one of my favorite UFs, even though I didn't care much for the first book. I thought books 2-4 were really good for me though.

I've read a little bit about those, and they look interesting. Unfortunately, I do almost all my "reading" on audio, and none of them are available in audio format. But I see that the first chapters of those books are available on Franco's own web site, so I may check them out!
July 18th, 2011, 12:14 PM #8
There's some not-so-good news on the next Magic book[Kate 6], the authors have blogged about it and this is what they had to say:
"We dont really know when Kate 6 will be released. Its not written yet, and typically I would say May of next year, however were hitting a storyline snag. For the timeline to make sense, we need Andrea/Raphael spin-off to happen before Kate 6 takes place."
I hope we get more news soon about this as I'm sure there are many fans(like me) who are awaiting Kate 6 to see what happens next after the terrific Magic Slays.
July 18th, 2011, 04:00 PM #9
If you like the Kate novels you should probably check out Andrews' new series "On the edge". It's a paranormal (?) romance series as well. It is quite elaborated regarding the magical setting, same as Kate Daniels, sporting kick-ass heroines and Flavio Type heroes, fun to read, fast pacing action, easy to be absorbed and drawn into. A nice treat after serious reading. Another author you could check out is G. A. Aikens "Dragon" series. Very funny, heavy on the erotic side, slipping into the more conventional sword and sorcery "fantasy" mode in the last two installments. Definatetely worth a read if you like to know that's just the thing to relax and have fun.
July 18th, 2011, 04:10 PM #10
I've read On the Edge, and it's certainly not a book to recommend someone who has simply enjoyed Kate Daniels. The interest of the series is on the romance aspects and it's not nearly as kickass as Kate Daniels is.
@Mihir I really don't care much about a Andrea/Raphael spin-off. Seems like a waste to me, but we'll see. If anything I'd prefer a Julie one. Regardless, I hope we get too some more Kate sooner rather than later.

There was already an Andrea/Raphael short story. I really didn't like it. So the notion of a full novel is unappealing to me also.
Dali's short story was very good, maybe even excellent.
July 21st, 2011, 07:33 AM #12
Its been a while since I've read the last Kate Daniels book, but thus far I have been enjoying the series. I have to agree that the first book portrayed Kate as a bit too much of a badass, but subsequent books have been an improvement. I'm eager to find out more about Kate's history and mysterious father that she is intent on killing. The romance part really doesn't do much for me (not much of a romance genre lover although the wife is always reading Harlequins (bah - smut books, lol)), so I don't know if 'On the Edge' would be for me...
August 5th, 2011, 09:36 AM #13
OK, Ilona Andrews posted yesterday that there will be no Kate Daniels next year, but as assumed before, there will be a spin-off featuring Andrea. Kate Daniels will return in February 2013.

There's a brand new free Beast Lord & Kate Daniels novella, called Magic Gifts that is only available for download over the next two weeks,
It will be available later as part of Gunmetal Magic, Andrea's book. But why wait?

Coral reefs are complex structures built by tiny organisms called coral polyps, which are kin to jellyfish and sea anemones. Polyps attach themselves to sunken rocks at the edges of islands or continents. Their limestone skeletons connect with one another in massive numbers to create first coral colonies, then larger reefs—Earth's largest biological structures. A healthy coral reef can live for many thousands of years.

Drunk Driving Glossary
Drunk Driving Glossary
Alcohol-involved fatalities are those where at least one driver, or motorcycle operator, has a positive BAC of .01 or higher. In producing national and state alcohol-involved statistics, NHTSA estimates the extent of alcohol involvement when alcohol test results are unknown.
BAC is measured in grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. A BAC of .01 indicates .01 grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. As of July 2004, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have passed legislation establishing a driver with a BAC of .08 to be legally intoxicated. Additionally, 48 states and the District of Columbia have laws and penalties for those who drive with elevated or "high" BAC levels.
Any fatality occurring in a crash involving at least one driver, or motorcycle operator, with a BAC of .08 or higher is considered to be an alcohol-impaired driving fatality; drunk driving and alcohol-impaired can be used interchangeably. The term drunk driving does not indicate that a crash or a fatality was the result of alcohol impairment. In producing national and state drunk driving statistics, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates the extent of alcohol involvement when alcohol test results are unknown. Drivers in all 50 states and D.C. are considered to be alcohol-impaired if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .08 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or higher.
Hardcore drunk drivers are those who drive with a high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .15 or above or who do so repeatedly, as demonstrated by having more than one impaired driving arrest, and who are highly resistant to changing their behavior despite previous sanctions, treatment or education.
The rate of alcohol-impaired (or alcohol-related) fatalities per 100,000 population is the number of alcohol-impaired (or alcohol-related) fatalities for every 100,000 persons in the population being measured. For example, an alcohol-impaired fatality rate of 3.2 per 100,000 population nationally means that for every 100,000 people in the nation, there were approximately three alcohol-impaired fatalities.
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the federal government's official nutrition policy defines a standard drink of alcohol as 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits, 12 ounces of regular beer or 5 ounces of wine.
Women have less fluid in their bodies than men of the same weight, so there's less water to dilute the alcohol. So with the same amount of alcohol, women will generally feel and experience the effects of alcohol more than men.

129-foot flagpole honors those aboard USS Thresher
Monday, April 8, 2013
KITTERY, Maine — Hundreds witnessed history Sunday morning as a 129-foot flagpole was raised to honor the U.S. Navy sailors and civilian heroes who perished aboard the USS Thresher 50 years ago.
On April 10, 1963, the USS Thresher sank more than 200 miles off the New England coast and remains the worst submarine disaster in history.
It was later determined the submarine likely sank due to a piping failure, loss of power and an inability to blow ballast tanks rapidly enough. An extensive search found the ship some 8,400 feet below the surface. The dead included 16 officers, 96 enlisted men, and 17 civilians.
The Thresher was the world's most advanced fast attack submarine when it was commissioned in 1961. Built at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, and based in Groton, Conn., the ship featured a cigar-shaped hull and nuclear propulsion. The 278-foot-long submarine could travel underwater for long distances, and it could dive deeper than earlier submarines, enduring pressure at unforgiving depths. The Cold War-era vessel was also designed to be quieter to avoid detection.
The Navy accelerated safety improvements and created a program called "SUBSAFE," an extensive series of design modifications, training and other improvements.
People involved in the SUBSAFE program are required to watch a documentary about the Thresher that ends with an actual underwater recording featuring the eerie sounds of metal creaking and bending as a U.S. Navy submarine breaks apart with the loss of all hands.
The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Honor Guard shot three rounds in honor of the men, following the Navy Hymn and Pledge of Allegiance.
The flag is said by the Thresher Memorial Project Group (TMPG) to be the first phase in remembering these men.
"Eventually, we would like to have a small memorial park by the town hall. This flag is the main focal point and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It's been a long time coming to have a memorial worthy of the sacrifice," TMPG member D. Allan Kerr said.

Players need to balance inventory and overall customer service to make enough income for renovations. Before ordering the merchandise players have to buy displays in the form of hanger racks and various tables. Users browse through the pages of the local distributor's catalog and select products from the clothing, electronics, or hardware sections. Each item has a set price, delivery time or wait, and specific display type to use. The merchandise selection in Market Street sets it apart from other similar games like Mall World or Retail Therapy. There's an equal amount of female and male oriented products to sell. Choose to sell designer belts and purses, glitter pumps, dresses, blue jeans, cargo shorts, hoodies, PC games, Home Theatres, cans of paint, tool boxes, or portable generators. When items are ready they appear in the stockroom. Players must click on the product and drag it onto the display in the store. Once on display customers casually browse and shop until the items are completely gone. Cheap products disappear off the shelves faster than more expensive merchandise. Clicking on the dirty display racks and tables will clean them earning XP. Experience is primarily earned through stocking, cleaning, and re-stocking products. Depending on the type of items selected this process of gaining XP can make the gameplay seem slow.
To-Do's List for Market Street
The game also has a mission feature in the form of a manager's To-Do's List. Upon leveling new tasks will appear on the To-Do List clipboard for players to accomplish. These tasks vary from collecting 100,000 coins from the registers to re-stocking displays. A nice touch in the game is the ability to interact with customers and gage their likes or dislikes. Sometimes players are asked to assist 20 or more indecisive customers in the shop. Icons appear above shoppers' heads notifying players whether they're disappointed with the store's selection, pleased, or confused. A question mark bubble appears above indecisive customers' heads. Clicking the icon will automatically answer their question allowing them to make the right purchase. Most of the mission tasks are simple like buying 6 new wall panels but occasionally they are challenging. Selling large quantities of products or catching shoplifters can be difficult at times. Players do not earn any XP for completing these tasks only rewards.
Catching Shoplifters
Simulating the problems of real retail stores theft becomes an issue in Market Street. Some customers are mischievous shoplifters waiting for opportunity to grab an item and run. These criminals are hard to detect. They look like paying customers until they make a dash to the door without stopping at the register. A red masked face icon will appear above their head the last few seconds before they're home free. Players have to be on the lookout and quickly click on them before they get close to the exit. Although, the elevator music that plays in the background is somewhat annoying the sound effects are pretty decent. Shoplifters who escape without getting caught have this wicked laugh that is quite comical. Catching shoplifters is a fun element that almost feels like a mini-game. Special items like the security camera aid in catching thieves by making shoplifters stand out with a glow before making a run. Players can visit their friends' shops for a cash bonus and occasionally assist customers as well.
Shopping for Shoppers
Decorating and customization is big in Market Street. To keep the shop's rating high and a constant flow of customers coming in players must constantly redecorate. Add carpet, linoleum, checkered tiles, cement, slate, brick, hardwood, or pebbled floors. Select different painted paneled walls, posters, clocks, track lights, mirrors, lamps, sale signs, silk plants, vases, pillows, chairs, rugs, and built-in aquariums. Players can match their decorations with colored table displays and hanger racks from standard steel to polished pastel colors. Various signs, displays, and wall décor attract different shoppers. Players have to decorate with their products and shoppers in mind. There is a nice selection of decoration items to choose from but the small quantity limits users in terms of customization and creativity. With the continual need to buy new decorations players may end up purchasing duplicate items.
Final Verdict: Good
Market Street is a more diverse retail simulation game when compared to others like Mall World or Retail Therapy. It's made for both genders with a nice mix of merchandise to sell. Players run their own retail shop buying, selling, and liquidating products of their choice. Complete daily tasks, answer customers' questions, and stop shoplifters from stealing valuable merchandise. Although the customization and social options could use improvement it has potential to be a solid game. Whether you prefer strappy shoes or cans of paint there's something for everyone in Market Street.

Great, now we have a reason for another 50 articles for 5 years talking about how it didn't yet come to Linux.
Phoronix: Will Unreal Engine 4 Games Come To Linux?
This week from the E3 Expo there's been new details to emerge about Unreal Engine 4 as the latest game engine that's in development by Epic Games. But will there be any native UE4 Linux games to come or will it face a similar fate to Unreal Engine 3 on Linux?..
Great, now we have a reason for another 50 articles for 5 years talking about how it didn't yet come to Linux.
The article body could have answered the headline with just two letters. To even entertain the possibility seems somewhat silly.
From what is known throughout the gaming industry, Microsoft paid Epic to drop their x86 GNU/Linux support, but notably not the PowerPC GNU/Linux support (PS3). For Epic it was more profitable to accept the money from Microsoft than to sell products.
Given the changes in the industry, Microsoft probably will not be able to affect a similar stifling this go-around. For starters, the Unreal Engine has significant competition from engines such as Unity3D, Unigine, and Valve Source; all of which either already have, or are implementing, native GNU/Linux support. When Microsoft paid Epic off this kind of competition did not exist.
In addition AMD has reportedly landed the central processor contract for Project Orbis, aka Playstation 4. Assuming that the reports are correct and that Sony is indeed leveraging an x86/64 compiled Chromium/Linux base, Epic will have to produce an x86/64 client for UE4 that will have to run on x86/64 /Linux kernel systems. This is not even getting into Sony's Playstation Suite plans, which already promises to provide Playstation content to any device capable of running Playstation Suite. Developers wanting to use UE4 to build games for Sony platforms or the Playstation Suite might be a tad bit pissed if Epic's x86/64 /Linux support was not up to snuff.
Looking at what the industry is doing, Epic cannot afford to accept another bribe from Microsoft to stop /Linux support or development.
Phoronix - Never thought I would find a "Linking Error" desirable at some point.
Epic are those guys that not long ago said "f u PC gamers, we're doing console games now. Nyeh Nyeh". Why you'd expect them to have a new game engine on Linux eludes me.

Rochester school budget calls for 24 layoffs: Cuts will come from all levels
Saturday, February 2, 2013
ROCHESTER — At a Thursday night "special meeting" with the Rochester School Board, Superintendent Michael Hopkins presented a future budget that includes a proposal to lay off 24 staff members throughout the district.
A special education coordinator was listed on the cuts as well, who would bring $95,476 to the budget, along with psychologist and occupational therapist positions, which would each bring $76,000 to the budget.
Watson noted the board only received the preliminary proposed budget this past week and more conversations will be had at the committee level before a final proposal is brought to the full board and then forwarded onto the City Council for approval.

There are a number of aspects that come with the use of YouTube for conservative videos. A big part of different conservative videos is that they can cover topics relating to freedom, abortion, gun rights and many other issues that conservatives have strong opinions about. Videos can really help people discover all sorts of aspects that come with the general points that all could enjoy watching for all kinds of particular aspects on conservative opinions.
Some people have gone out to buy YouTube views for these videos. While it's true that buying YouTube views for all of these videos can be effective when it comes to getting a video to become easier to find on a search engine, this is a particular need to see just why so many people are willing to stick with these view-purchasing services.
The Political Scene is Competitive
The biggest reason why people buy real YouTube views through Viewsaccelerator is to make it easier for their videos to be spotted online. Videos are easier to find when they have more views, subscribers and likes. YouTube's search engine places all of these points into consideration when getting videos to become more visible.
This is especially important for when it comes to conservative news and views. The political scene has changed to where conservatives and liberals are struggling with one another in terms of figuring out who's going to be on top for now and into the future. Conservatives are willing to use social media to their advantage and one way how they can benefit from social media is to buy YouTube views for all their videos.
It's To Lure In New Subscribers
Conservative video channels are easier to find when they have more subscribers. Therefore, many people who buy these views will do this to get more people to discover different videos that are relevant to the topics that they want to discuss in particular.
People will eventually want to subscribe to a channel and share its views with others if they are appreciative of what they want to offer. This could really be to anyone's advantage if it is done with care and creates a good sense of recognition for whatever people want to discuss.
They Want To Trigger a Discussion
One good aspect that comes with many different conservative videos is that they encourage a healthy sense of debate between people of all sorts. People can talk with one another with regards to such things as how different aspects of how the government is to be run and what types of laws need to be utilized in society.
A good conservative video can allow people to learn about all sorts of aspects relating to different kinds of political facts and topics. Anyone can discover a good series of facts that might influence their opinions when they watch these videos.
Of course, this also allows people on the liberal side to begin to discover that their views may not be as good as they might think. This could be done with care in order to make it all effective and ready for the needs that all would want to enjoy.
There's always going to be a need for people to take a careful look at different YouTube videos with regards to political topics. People will have to take a closer look at different videos to recognize and learn about different political viewpoints. It is no surprise that many people in the political sector are using YouTube to their advantage in order to highlight their values and beliefs. YouTube can really be a useful website for educating people about conservative opinions and it is no secret that buying YouTube views can really be important for all conservatives to consider.

President Obama woos voters in visit at Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth
Saturday, September 8, 2012
PORTSMOUTH — Hoping to carry forward the momentum of his appearance at the Democratic National Convention, President Barack Obama brought a message of middle class prosperity to voters in Portsmouth Friday.
Obama said it was "not good enough" that private employers created just 96,000 jobs last month but said it will take a "long tough journey" to recover from the recession. His comments came as the government said unemployment fell to 8.1 percent from 8.3 percent in July, largely because more people stopped looking for work.
Friday's event was not Obama's first in Portsmouth. Obama said he has "great memories" of a 2007 trip to the city during his first presidential campaign. The president said Portsmouth stands out in his mind as one of the last places he was able to go for a walk without anyone accompanying him.
The sun was out for Friday's event, which took place in a 10-acre expanse at the museum. Portsmouth Assistant Fire Chief Steve Achilles said at least a half dozen people were treated for heat-related medical concerns during the course of the day. The department provided three triage teams and a pair of ambulances during the day.
"It was a long time, and it got a lot hotter than we expected," Achilles said at about 2 p.m. "Nothing serious."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Halfway through a 10-game suspension for using pine tar a second time and being even more obvious than the first time on April 10 at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees announced that Pineda has a sore lat muscle, which is near the ribcage.
Pineda felt pain after the first inning of a simulated game in Tampa at the team's minor league facility and removed himself. Before the game, the Yankees were awaiting MRI results but didn't seem to think he would start Monday in Anaheim.
"I would think that his start Monday is probably in jeopardy," said manager Joe Girardi, whose team fell to the Mariners 6-3 Tuesday. "But we'll wait for the results. He's having the MRI down in Tampa. He threw the first inning and felt a little stiffness, tightness, and he pulled himself."
Afterward, team spokesman Jason Zillo said that an MRI revealed a grade 1 strain of the teres major muscle, which is in between the lat and the shoulder and that Pineda will be re-evaluated at some point Wednesday.
If there was a positive development, it was that it was not Pineda's shoulder, which sidelined him for two seasons.
For now, right-hander David Phelps will stay in the rotation.

Making the Right Call: Charitable Planning Is Easier Than Football
Featured Article
March 2015
Some sports commentators say that the decision of the Seattle Seahawks coaches to throw rather than run when the ball was one yard from a touchdown and a Super Bowl victory was the worst call in sports history. In life, as in sports, we sometimes make calls that turn out badly. We purchase a stock just before it plunges in value. We put our house on the market at the worst time. We pay big bucks for a vacation package that proves disappointing. We turn down one job offer and accept another, only to discover that it is a bad fit.
However, in planning your charitable gifts there are certain decisions that will almost always be the right call.
Use appreciated securities for large gifts
If you have owned securities for more than a year and they have appreciated in value, make your larger charitable gifts with them. You will receive a charitable deduction for market value, and you will avoid taxation of the capital gain.
If you own a security that has gone down in value and you are thinking of removing it from your portfolio by contributing it to charity, don't do it. Instead, sell the security and contribute the proceeds. You will get the same deduction as if you gave the security, and you can claim the loss in value on your tax return.
Make end-of-life gifts with retirement funds
If you are planning an end-of-life gift, make that gift, to the extent possible, by naming our organization as a beneficiary of an IRA or other retirement fund. Distributions to us, unlike those to individuals, will not be subject to income tax.
Time your gifts for the maximum deduction
If you make large gifts regularly, time those gifts so that you do not waste deductions. In claiming deductions, current gifts have priority over carryovers and there is a five-year limit on carryovers.
People may second-guess you (or you may second-guess yourself) on many things—but probably not on these wise gift-planning strategies.

The Hobbit
Playlist Navigation Bar
Treasures: 1. Treasures
Bilbo sat on the stone bench carved into the wall. The crystal lanterns shed a soft light on the tomb, and Orcrist gleamed silver atop the dark grey granite. He had come to like the crypt with all of its sepulchers. Only the sword set this one off from the other Kings under the Mountain. The entry way had been too small for Smaug, so the dragon had contented himself with breathing fire into the chamber. Some of the stone bore scorch marks - the Dwarves counted it a mark of honor that the dragon would consider them such enemies that he would do battle even with the dead kings. But the newest tomb was unmarked by dragon fire.
He thought that he would be sad in this place, but he was not. It is not such a bad thing, death. Grievous, perhaps, but not dark. If only there were not such pain to accompany it. Bilbo drew on the pipe Dwalin made for him in honor of his visit. It was made of a heavy black wood, with a dragon inlaid in silver around the bowl. The Hobbit slid down from the bench, and began walking among the tombs.
They were too tall for him to see over, but he did not mind. Most were carved around the sides with fantastic designs and monstrous faces. It was amusing to stand a few feet off and slowly walk past, watching different faces and pictures emerge as one's perspective changed. The scorch marks of Smaug made a few of the tricks easier to see.
The last, or first, sepulcher was Thráin's. Almost exactly one-thousand years ago, you founded your kingdom, Dwarf-lord. You lie here with your son and grandson and children beyond. Do you sit with them in the halls of waiting, as Thorin said? Do you speak to them, and do they tell you of the fate of your realm? It was strange to compare the stone tombs to the graves of Hobbits. A winding sheet, a deep pit, a small stone. A simple end. In time, the grass and weeds would swallow the stone and then there was no end, either. He wondered who else he knew had died since the Farewell Feast.
A small sound alerted Bilbo to the presence of another in the crypt. He glanced up at the walls, looking for a shadow cast by the visitor. None was to be seen, but when he listened carefully, he could hear footsteps at the far end, near Thorin's tomb. Bilbo made his stealthy way along the wall. When he reached the end, he understood why there was no shadow.
The Dwarf standing in front of Thorin's tomb was a child, no taller than Bilbo. The shadow the little one cast was too short to reach the walls. Bilbo watched, amazed. In the weeks he had spent in Erebor, he had never seen a Dwarf-child. They were treasures more carefully guarded than the Arkenstone. Once or twice, he thought he had glimpsed a small form out of the corner of his eye, but never saw any clearly. Wherever Bilbo walked in the mountain, pinging hammer taps would precede him, warning folk that he approached.
The child's feet were in low, soft boots. Tiny black ravens dotted the bright red tunic, and the child's leggings were also black. Bilbo could not tell if it were a girl or a boy child. The youngster's frame was solid, bulkier than the Hobbit's, and the child's hands looked very strong. The child turned, and looked at Bilbo, then smiled and gestured for the Hobbit to come closer. Bilbo smiled in return and approached slowly. The child's face reminded him of a Hobbit's in some ways. It was round and soft, though the eyes were too dark and too deeply set to be a Hobbit. It was odd to see a Dwarf of any kind without a beard. The beads at the ends of the child's braided hair clicked as he or she cocked a head to the side and studied Bilbo.
The child squatted down and stared at Bilbo's feet, and he chuckled to himself. The human children of Esgaroth and Dale also stared at his feet. As he expected, the child reached out and touched the hair on the tops, then snatched the wayward hand back, worry on the young face. He stuck his foot out a bit, to reassure the child it was all right.
"?" There was a question in the child's speech, but Bilbo could not make it out. The sound of Khuzdul fascinated him - sing-song and harsh, awkward and powerful at once. He had heard snatches of it as he walked the halls, and wished the Dwarves would share it with him. He smiled and shrugged a bit, but motioned for the child to keep talking. The child gestured at Bilbo's feet and then at his or her own boots and said more. Then the child pantomimed hopping on one foot and limping. Bilbo laughed and sat on the floor, showing the other the tough soles of his feet, so it would be understood that he did not need shoes. The child laughed and sat with him, pointing at Bilbo's feet and then his or her own, and chattered about the differences. Or that is what Bilbo imagined was said. He simply listened to the sound of the words and shared the child's delight at discovering something new.
'Lord of Burglars.'
Bilbo and the child both jumped at the sound of the voice. A young, golden-haired Dwarf stood near the door of the chamber. His hair was loose and blended into his beard, and Bilbo was reminded of Fíli and Kíli. Bilbo wondered if this was their kinsman. The child scrambled up and ran over to the adult, seizing his hand and chattering away. The adult shushed the child, never looking away from the Hobbit. Bilbo rose to his feet, hoping he had not done something wrong.
'You have seen what you should not see, Master Thief. But, I suppose, that is what a burglar is for.' The Dwarf's voice was clear and melodious, making Bilbo wonder how Khuzdul would sound on his tongue. Even so, Bilbo did not care much for the fellow's words.
'I apologize if I have given offence. I was in the crypt and the child came in afterwards. I could not avoid seeing him.'
'No offence is taken. I should not have let Swallow run ahead.'
A girl child, then. Bilbo studied the child's face closely, but could see no mark of femininity, just a chubby, childish face. 'Then I shall go, and leave you two to your visit.' Bilbo bowed slightly and began to walk out.
'Wait.' The Dwarf looked at him keenly. 'You were a friend of King Thorin's, were you not?'
'Yes, for my part, I call him friend, and grieve that he did not live to see his kingdom rise into beauty and glory once more.'
'But he did live to be King under the Mountain, if only for a few days.' The Dwarf looked thoughtfully at Thorin's tomb. 'You were the last to speak to him, ere he died.'
'Yes, though others were there.' The Dwarf did not answer, but continued to stare at the tomb. Bilbo bowed once more, then grinned as Swallow returned the bow. He walked past the two, and was almost to the doorway, when the Dwarf spoke again.
'Thank you, Lord of Burglars. You gave my father what he wished - the crown returned and a glorious end.'
Bilbo turned back and studied the Dwarf as she walked, Swallow's hand in her own, over to Thorin's tomb. There was a small difference to be seen - a balance in the stride, a narrowness to the shoulders, a less massive torso. 'To whom do I speak, my lady?'
She faced him once more, and he could see Thorin in her. 'I am the Kestrel.'
'Farewell, Lady Kestrel. And if you ever have need of a burglar, I remain in your service and that of your family's.' Bilbo bowed again, and left.

Friday's jobs report, which showed unemployment falling to its lowest point since 2008, was still indication that President Barack Obama's economic policies were failing, according to Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus.
"While a downtick in the unemployment rate is welcome news, too many families are still falling behind and unemployment remains painfully high," Priebus said in a statement sent an hour after the jobs report was released. During the presidential race, Republican reaction to negative jobs reports was almost instantaneous.
"Our number one priority must be getting struggling Americans back to work," Priebus continued.
Friday's release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics also showed 146,000 jobs were added in November, exceeding economists' expectations for the month. While Republicans are no longer challenging Obama for the White House, they are lobbying hard to advance their position during negotiations over the fiscal cliff.
In his statement, Priebus said Americans "cannot afford President Obama's agenda of more stifling regulation, tax increases and reckless spending," all facets of the GOP's position in the back-and-forth over cutting the nation's debt and reducing spending by the federal government.
"Republicans support commonsense policies to get our fiscal house in order so our economy can rebound. Government policies must be focused on unleashing economic growth--not on restricting it. These policies will foster job growth and improve the way of life for every American," Priebus said.
In a statement sent from the White House, Alan Krueger, the chairman of Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, also conceded "more work remains to be done" on the nation's employment situation, but that the report was an indication the economy is "continuing to heal from the wounds inflicted by the worst downturn since the Great Depression."
"It is critical that we continue the policies that are building an economy that works for the middle class as we dig our way out of the deep hole that was caused by the severe recession that began in December 2007," Krueger wrote.

It's such a huge transformation and again illustrates why I always reach for vintage furniture when I have the option! 45 years ago, someone probably saved up to buy these chairs and they sat in a formal living room virtually untouched for decades (evidenced by the excellent condition I found them in). And now, in 2012, they've been given a new lease on life along with a jolt of color. I'll tell you what...inspiration & ingenuity will do it for you every time.
As you can see by the tape on the trim in the photo above, I'm in the process of trying to do a lot at my house (prepping for paint is kray!). But finally, the chairs are done, and my club chair will be back this week. So now, share your thoughts! You like?? Does the pattern + tufting drive you crazy??

About the Collection
During his 20 years of experience in the industry, Dimitri James was disappointed to learn that very little of the money cosmetic companies spend goes into the actual product. Instead, the money is spent on ad campaigns, department store counter space, Park Avenue offices and fancy packaging. Frustrated by his findings, Dimitri was inspired to start changing the beauty industry for the better, launching SKINN® Cosmetics in 2002.
Dimitri's focus was to create a collection of quality products that helps the consumer avoid big-cost items with no results. SKINN Cosmetics has long since established itself as a revolutionary leader in skin care and cosmetics, offering treatments and color products loaded with anti-aging properties that meet the highest professional and esthetician standards. Each day, new women are discovering the line's amazing results and joining the ranks of SKINN enthusiasts across the nation.
About the Guest
Founder and CEO of SKINN® Cosmetics, Dimitri James has been a Hollywood makeup artist, aesthetician and cosmetologist for 25 years. He's worked for some of the biggest names in beauty, and has manufactured and sold his own cosmetics for 14 years. Inspired by the lack of concern for product quality found in many of industry's biggest cosmetic companies, Dimitri launched SKINN. Each product is a result of Dimitri's experience and knowledge, and is produced in his own factory for superior quality every step of the way.
Since its founding, SKINN has been dedicated to offering the best color and skin care products available. The line features cutting-edge and anti-aging properties that are free of the unnecessary fillers found in many large cosmetic brands.
"I love creating state-of-the-art products and offering them to my customers at a reasonable price, so that every woman who wants to can look her best."-Dimitri James

Phoronix: openSUSE 11.2 Final Released
Coming in between the releases of Ubuntu 9.10 and Fedora 12 is openSUSE 11.2, which is available as of this morning. The openSUSE 11.2 desktop is now using KDE 4.3 by default (though GNOME 2.28 is also available), OpenOffice.org 3.1 integration, the Linux 2.6.31 kernel, and many other underlying advancements.Novell sent over a gold master copy of openSUSE 11.2 earlier this week, which we have been playing around with, and overall this appears to be a nice openSUSE release...
Downloading right now
Just a question: why would one prefer OpenSuse over Ubuntu?
I'm just asking, I'm not saying Ubuntu is better.
Also it has KDE as a default and not GNOME, but you have both on one dvd,whereas with ubuntu you have to choose between Kubuntu and Ubuntu.
Personally I like YaST and prefer green over brown.
Most important reason is the build service, IMHO a very clever idea.
That's just some of the reasons I have, besides SuSE being a local company and not from America.
But since Linux is all about choice, I'd say everyone has to find the distro that suits him best.
Could you explain what this build service is (in linux-novice terms)? I'm downloading the KDE live cd now for trying it out, so it's nice to know where the differences are to be found!
- YaST
- Pulseaudio disabled by default (This is a great thing in my opinion, especially with apps such as Dosbox, that thing HATES Pulseaudio. I do wonder how easy it is to enable if one wanted to.)
- RPM's instead of DEB packages (Not a big deal nowdays)
- Better default theme VS Ubuntu's turd brown, of course thats my opinion.
- Probably alot more
Overall, I would project the experience to be a very good one with OpenSUSE 11.2. I personally cannot wait to install it later on today, hopefully it all goes smoothly. I had nothing but problems when I tried 9.10, it just seems like every Ubuntu release gets buggier and buggier, but hey, to each their own.
To answer your question about the build service, you can read about it here: http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service
In short, it makes packaging software easier, and easier to get the newest versions of the software if I read it correctly, instead of having to wait for new openSUSE releases to get new versions of your favorite stuff.
Last edited by #kyz; 11-12-2009 at 02:04 PM.
For example if you want newer versions of the X-Server you just add the XOrg:X11 repository to the repository list in YaST and you have a newer X-Server, which means you don't have to wait for the next distribution release (in 8 months) until you have that new software.
It is very useful for developers since it allows them t package for different distros.
But probably this page explains it a bit better:
And the KDE default thing is only a matter of preselecting the radio button in a DVD installer.
Nice way of importing new repositories (even third-party and community ones) and gnuPG keys that they are signed with (you have to do that manually in Ubuntu as far as I'm aware).
If you don't find the package in the repos you're suscribed to, there is the build service.
And the "1 click Installer" is kind of neat. You just click a button online which will start an istaller (automatically select the repo, pull the packages you need and install them all in a nice GUI)
And there's the SLAB menu, which fucntions sort of like the Win "Start Menu"

Unwrapped Bulk Vending Candy for Loose Candy Machines
Traditional candy machines dole out loose candy like gumballs, jawbreakers and little hard candy items like Skittles and Runts. These machines are normally fully mechanical in nature, meaning they use moving parts which turn from the power of a human hand. They are typically not run on electricity. When a coin in inserted and the dial is turned, a mechanism inside opens the valve to release some bulk candy.
If the items are completely unsorted, the buyer may not know exactly which product he'll get. Will he get the blue gumball or the red one? Other times, the result if fixed and expected. The unexpected results is something of a matter of debate. Some venders like to keep buyers guessing so they'll keep feeding money to get the color gumball they want. Others believe the uncertainty will deter buyers from purchasing in the first place. We tend to think that the color of gumball you get probably isn't the biggest decision in your life. But if it is, you better get the one you want!
The margins on vending bulk candy can be pretty good as well. Gumballs and jawbreakers have a relatively long shelf life too. Plus these machines are usually a lot less expensive to buy than the souped-up electronic vending machines. Soda vending machines, for example, require refrigeration! So, getting into the bulk candy vending business might not be a bad gig.
To entice small business owners to put their candy vending machines in their stores, vendors will even donate a percentage of the profits to charity as well. Many of these small businesses are open late and on weekends too, which can allow vendors to hold a separate full-time job while they operate their candy machine business on the side. And once you conquer the loose vending candy industry, you can move into the full-line, spiral vending machines. Good luck in starting your vending business!

Mavs' Hot Stove Dinner a big success
Saturday, January 26, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — There were wide-eyed kids in baseball shirts, men and women in stylish suits and elegant dresses, and two baseball players who have reached the pinnacle of their sport at the center of it all.
"I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of familiar faces, and it just makes you realize what a special place you came from."
He was pressed to reveal his favorite player.
"It's good to get out in the community," said Saltalamacchia, who signed a one-year contract extension with the Red Sox last week. "It obviously goes a little further than Boston. Everywhere we go, it seems we have these followers."

Pharma's Take on World Diabetes Day 2012
Well, here we are — World Diabetes Day 2012!
Today, we mark the anniversary of the day the co-creator of insulin, Dr. Frederick Banting, was born back in 1891. While World Diabetes Day has been around for more than two decades, founded by the International Diabetes Federation, it really started getting noticed in 2007, when the United Nations issued a resolution and made it an official day of observance.
Five years later, the community has…
