The beta for Exchange Server 2010, the cornerstone of our UC technology, is here and available for download today at www.microsoft.com/exchange/2010 . This release is, without question, the best Exchange yet. And, it all centers around our customers. With Exchange 2010, we demonstrate our relentless pursuit of addressing customers' needs – both IT professionals and end users. If I could sum up Exchange 2010 in one phrase it would be: Accomplish More. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about – getting more done while lowering costs. Exchange 2010 delivers on this promise in so many ways – let's dig into just a few.
With Exchange 2010, customers can:
· Get the rich inbox experience across the PC, phone and browser. Exchange, with Outlook, Outlook Mobile and Outlook Web Access, offers consistent and full featured universal inbox (that means email, voicemail with text previews, SMS, IM all in one place) experience regardless of where you're accessing your email. Based on the new inbox productivity tools and anywhere access, my team is literally getting 30-60 minutes back a day in productivity time saved.
· Never send that mistaken email again. With MailTips, you are warned before you hit send about sending to a very large distribution group, sending to recipients outside of the company and the annoyance of sending email to someone out of the office only to get their OOF message and having to send it again to someone else. It's like having x-ray vision into your email system.
· End the .PST forever. IT admins will soon be able to say "what's a .PST?" because the new archive feature provides the option to eliminate .PST files (personal, locally stored e-mail repositories) while not disrupting the end user experience or having to learn new IT management tools. The Exchange 2010 integrated archive lowers e-discovery costs and brings this business critical functionality within reach for all customers.
· Lower support costs through reduced help desk calls. Non-deliverable e-mails and message delivery tracking are top drivers of email support costs. With Exchange 2010's new end user self-service capabilities and inbox features, these calls are dramatically reduced.
· Replace legacy voice mail systems. That's right. Customers can eliminate costly maintenance fees, get more from IT resources, and boost productivity with Exchange 2010 voice mail with unified messaging - especially with the enhancements we've made to this version, such as the new voice mail text preview, so you can quickly triage voice mails without ever listening to the message).
· Dramatically lower storage costs and deliver larger mailbox quotas. The incredible advances around Exchange 2010 storage management and IOPs reduction enable organizations to choose low-cost storage options while still ensuring high availability. This means offering end users larger mailboxes while not increasing costs is possible -- this is truly where you can deliver more for less.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg. For more on the benefits Exchange 2010 can bring to you and your organization, check out the video Q&A with Rajesh Jha, corporate vice president of Exchange, and visit the Office 2010 and related products virtual press room for more.
With that, go download the beta, take it for a spin and let us know what you think!

Barrio Lindo Group
Paula tells us that this is the first time she has joined a Pro Mujer community bank. She joined via an invitation from Marina, a promotor who came to Barrio Lindo. Paula has a dressmaking workshop where she makes women's clothes. She has been working there since she migrated from Brazil 20 years ago.
Paula will use the loan that she has requested to buy fabrics (which will help her to increase her capital). She will buy her fabrics in Mariscal Santa Cruz Street, Max Paredes, La Paz. She will then sell the products that she makes wholesale, with the help of her husband and her seamstresses. This work allows Paula to make money to support her family. She is married and has three children.
When we asked her what she likes about Pro Mujer, she replied that she likes the ease of the loans which give you money with which to increase your income.
La señora Paula, indica que es la primera vez que integra una asociación comunal en Pro Mujer, ingresando por invitación de Marina, promotora que vino a la zona de Barrio Lindo. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de taller de costura de ropa de mujer que trabaja desde que migro a Brasil hace 20 años.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para la compra de telas (que servirá para incrementar su capital), las que adquirirá de la calle Mariscal santa Cruz, Max Paredes, galería La Paz; posteriormente elaborados sus productos los venderá por mayor, con la ayuda de su esposo y sus costureros. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para apoyar en lo posible a su familia, pues ella es casada y tiene tres hijos.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta la facilidad de préstamo de dinero para aumentar ingresos.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Magnificent Butterflies
Borelli, Carol, School Arts
Antique butterfly specimens collected from all over the world were the subject of three lessons for first and second grade students.
In the first lesson, the students observed the shapes, patterns and colors of these beautiful, exotic specimens. Then, each student completed a crayon drawing that reproduced one of the butterflies as exactly as possible. This assignment emphasized careful, scientific observation. To assure attention to detail, I told the students to "look like a scientist through a make-believe magnifying glass" and enlarge their butterfly to fill an 18 x 24" (46 x 61 cm! sheet of paper.
Shapes, Patterns, Colors
The following week's discussion focused on the shapes, patterns and colors the students discovered while observing the specimens. I asked the students to invent a butterfly and to keep these concepts in mind while drawing. I suggested that they paint the butterfly's body in the center of the paper using any color and then fill each side of the paper with interesting wing shapes.
We had observed from the specimens that butterflies have four wings. The students worked hard on symmetry, a concept discussed while examining the specimens.
Each student completed an 18 x 24" (46 x 61 cm) tempera painting. …

That... that's the oddest comment I've seen posted here...
To be fair, I
seen that opinion expressed here before: that it's the filmmaker's job to fill in all of the gaps and answer all of the questions, leaving nothing whatsoever to the imagination of the viewer.
This notion seems to be a relatively recent development, however, and certainly doesn't reflect the way most filmmakers in the history of the art have approached their craft. An engaged imagination has typically been a huge and important part of the experience of watching a movie.
Very reminiscent of the attitude I see among my students. Once I could simply assign a topic for research and expect the students to go the library and do the legwork--with no grumbling, save from a small minority (there's always at least one lazy student in a class). Now, though, if students don't get all the assigned readings pre-packaged as pdf files taken from the relevant journals and a detailed list of suggested sources to consult (in other words--all the legwork done for them), I get a lot of complaints (including, on occasion, some fairly nasty comments about how unfair I am because I'm not accounting for how "busy" their lives are). While I've not entirely given in, I do provide a list of suggested sources (with the caveat that they need to find x number of others on their own--x depends on the scope of the assignment--cuts down on a lot of gibberish, in the end).
It would seem that if it is not spelled out for a viewer, it's a "plot hole" or "doesn't make sense". Sometimes that's the case but often, a few seconds of thought can "fill in the blanks" quite nicely and is actually, to me, a rewarding part of the movie watching experience.

The growth of crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter, GoFundMe, and Indiegogo has created a sort of privatized lottery system, whereby if you can design the right appeal for a product, cause, or someone in need and it happens to gain momentum, then you may be buoyed by monies from complete strangers over the course of a few weeks.
To be sure, most crowdfunding campaigns do not go viral and do not raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, despite occasional news stories suggesting that if you merely ask for it, then it will come. Many campaigns fail dismally. (Hence, the lotto-like quality to the whole deal.) However, crowdfunding has evolved into a viable option for entrepreneurs, social causes, and personal appeals.
If you Google around a bit, you'll find plenty of advice on how to design a crowdfunding campaign. But what if you're like most us, on the receiving end of those requests? Over the last year, I've looked at several dozen crowdfunding campaign requests, either through sites such as the ones mentioned above, or via more informal means such as Facebook.
At times, I will happily support a crowdfunding campaign for a good cause, interesting new product, or an individual facing tough times. On other occasions I might decide not to contribute.
For what it's worth — and I'm not claiming to be the first or last word on this — here's what I look for when considering to support a crowdfunding appeal:
1. Above all, is the request a legitimate one? There are so many factors that go into this assessment, including the individuals involved, the nature of the funding request, and the information provided in the crowdfunding appeal. This question pervades many other considerations discussed below.
2. How can my money make a difference? Whether it's supporting a niche business idea, helping to launch new social venture, or lending a hand to someone in need, I want my contribution to have a positive impact. While this applies specially to larger amounts of money, it's relevant even if we're talking about modest donations.
3. Is the funding campaign "fixed" or "flexible"? A fixed campaign specifies that if the fundraiser doesn't raise a minimum amount, then no one will be charged; in essence, it's an all-or-nothing approach. A flexible campaign takes your money even if the minimum stated dollar goal isn't reached.
I often decline to fund high dollar amount campaigns using flexible funding, unless it's an organization or individual I know, the appeal (including the amount) is realistic and well articulated, and I happen to strongly support it. At times, if a flexible campaign seems promising but perhaps overly ambitious, I'll wait to see if it's attracting a lot of support. If not, there's a good chance that others have the same concerns. It's a way of sending a message to the campaign sponsor that there's something about the appeal that is causing people to hesitate.
Let's suppose, for example, that someone is asking for $25,000 for a project on a flexible funding basis. If, say, my $75 contribution is part of only $1,000 raised in total, then I feel like a bit of a chump, having sent a nice chunk of change to a project that isn't even close to having sufficient funds to go ahead.
4. Is there a sufficiently detailed budget? Especially for entrepreneurial and social entrepreneurial projects, I want to know how the money will be used. I've read appeals for amounts around $2,500 that are specific and detailed. I've read others for amounts around $25,000 that tell me very little. Guess who gets my contribution?
5. If it's a personal appeal for, or behalf of, an individual in need, then how does it hit me? This is a difficult question, loaded with personal biases relating to who is "deserving" of help, and subject to the narrative skills of the person(s) writing the funding appeal.
Here are the personal appeals that cause me to back away fast: They tend to ask for larger sums of money, often six figures or more. Some sound excessive or suggestive of a failure to explore options. A few smack of The Secret on hallucinogens; it's as if someone sat down and thought, I sure could use $100,000, so let's go for it and maybe my request goes viral.
However, let's also remember that, especially in this age of massive wealth inequality, economic uncertainty, and a frazzled social safety net, a lot of people are struggling to pay their bills and to put food on their tables. We should keep our hearts open to personal appeals, while considering them carefully.
6. What do the perks, if any, say about the desirability and integrity of the funding request? On occasion I've funded something because the perk(s) offered seemed pretty cool. Maybe a perk includes the very product I'd like to support. Or perhaps it gives me a good feeling of connection with the people organizing the campaign.
On other occasions I've declined to fund something because the perk(s) seemed cheesy or, well, insincere. By the latter, I mean that the perks were somewhat contrived and, in some cases, appeared to be deliberately difficult to fulfill. If, say, a $500 donation to a national campaign gets you a face-to-face half hour over coffee with the project organizer, but you have to fly halfway across the country on your dime for that latte, then this should tell you something about how the campaign sponsors regard potential contributors — regardless of whether you can afford that level of support.
7. Is the funding request on behalf of an abused animal, or a beloved pet who needs expensive surgery? Put a sad looking little doggie or kitty cat on the funding page with a cry for help, and my critical evaluative skills often go out the window. Unless the critter is Cujo, I'm fumbling through my wallet for my credit card. Yup, I'm a sucker.

Egypt opposition group rejects dialogueComment on this story
Cairo - Egypt's main opposition coalition said on Friday it would not take part in a dialogue proposed by President Mohamed Morsi to end a crisis sparked by the Islamist leader's decision to expand his powers, a senior member of the group said.
"The National Salvation Front is not taking part in the dialogue, that is the official stance," said Ahmed Said, one of the leading members of the coalition who also heads the liberal Free Egyptians Party.
Prominent reformist Mohamed ElBaradei had also urged political forces to shun dialogue on his Twitter account and the state news agency reported that the liberal Wafd party said it would not take part. Both are members of the Front. - Reuters

To clear room on their roster for rookie pitcher Joe Ross, the Nationals made a pair of roster moves on Saturday in sending A.J.
It was cause for concern in April, but then cause for comfort in May. What, then, will the Nationals' bullpen cause in June: Soothing relief or heartburn?
Tanner Roark's MLB career has so far been an unlikely success story filled with very few failures for a guy who just a year before he debuted in 2013 lost 17 games at the Triple-A level.

- John Morris leaves Colorado State to become Tufts athletic director
- Sep 25:
- Kiszla: Little by little this idea may work for CSU Rams
- CSU won't reach $110M goal for new stadium, school president says
- Aug 14:
- Jack Graham had marginal support among CSU staff, evaluation shows
- Aug 13:
- Former AD Jack Graham will still root for and support CSU Rams
With equal parts bravado and vision, Jack Graham insisted any big dream was possible for the athletes at Colorado State.
The dream died Friday, when Graham was abruptly fired as the school's athletic director.
Weep for the Rams.
Divorces can be messy. The way Colorado State president Tony Frank dumped Graham was clueless and classless.
Hiding behind the cloak of e-mail and an oddly impersonal written statement, Frank announced he was choosing to exercise the "termination for convenience clause" in Graham's contract. How convenient.
That was not leadership. That was a cop-out. That was waving a white flag of surrender.
Football is what drives the revenue in any athletic department's budget, and football is in big trouble at Colorado State, which has tried to win for far too long by spending nickels and dimes in a high-stakes game. Former coach Sonny Lubick beat the odds. Graham wasn't afraid to step on toes while cajoling the Rams to dream of 10-victory seasons and bowl bids.
The five most powerful conferences in the country were granted permission last week from the NCAA to begin living by their own rules, which almost certainly will include stipends for football players, an advantage for wealthy programs in the SEC and Pac-12 that will make it even harder for the Rams to earn a spot in the top-25 rankings.
If modest attendance at CSU games at the joke that is Hughes Stadium can be taken as any indication, many of the school's alums do not care if the Rams can compete with Boise State, much less Alabama, for football success. Not that there's anything wrong with admitting college football does not matter at Colorado State. A great university does not require a great football team — or any football team at all.
But a university that does not play home games on its campus turns a deaf ear to two facts: 1) A football venue is a symbol of school spirit to students carrying books to class; and 2) A stadium can serve as a portal that keeps the connection between alums and their alma mater alive. It's hard to imagine how CSU will spend in excess of $200 million to build a new stadium without Graham in charge.
Fundraising for Graham's pet project was slow, and opposition to the on-campus stadium was loud from many folks who genuinely love Fort Collins. That is well and good. Without a new stadium, however, the Rams would be wise to make Northern Colorado their primary in-state rival instead of CU on future football schedules.
Without Graham as athletic director, my advice to current football coach Jim McElwain would be to add two or three winning seasons with the Rams on his résumé, then get the heck out of Fort Collins at his first chance to work at a well-financed program in a "Big Five" conference.
Without Graham to push the school into the 21st century, here's wishing the Rams the best of luck in remaining relevant as a college football program.
Without Graham, the Rams are going to need all the luck they can get.

"Kirkus' review of The Mill River Recluse played an important role in encouraging readers to take a chance on a first novel by an unknown author."

Back in 2004, Leila Roy started Bookshelves of Doom as a simple reading log. Over the past 10 years, it has morphed and expanded into a website that covers stories in all forms—fact and fiction, print and film, video games and songs—but, at its heart, it is still best described by the tagline it launched with: "Book news, reviews, my life, and anything else I think is interesting."
It's almost August, and therefore—in Maine, anyway—it's exactly the right time to hide inside in front of a fan with a book. Here's what's on deck for this month:

Pearson's The Kiss of Deception for a lot of reasons: It's epic fantasy (spies and assassins and princesses and nomads and barmaids, long-lost civilizations, political maneuvering, and OF COURSE, The Chosen One) with strong worldbuilding, it has lovely character development and growth, and it portrays strong, complex friendships between female characters AND STILL has plenty of time for romance. Due to my enormous love for Kiss of Deception—and to the MONSTER of a cliffhanger it ...
For the past month, I've been completely binging on Norwegian crime novels. And so, of course, it occurred to me to look into what's been translated for the YA audience. While I didn't find a whole lot in the way of crime fiction—or novels specifically from Norway—I have managed to cobble together a list of books imported from the larger Scandinavian region. Let's take a look!
Nothing, by Janne Teller

On the 10th anniversary of her father's death, Claire Takata discovers that her mother and her stepfather—the man that she and her brothers have been calling "Dad" for almost as long as they can remember—have been lying to them for years. It turns out that not only did her father and her stepfather know each other, but they knew each other well—so why, when she asks flat-out, is she met with lies and deception? And why would they have ...
To my American readers: Happy almost Fourth of July! I hope you have tomorrow off.
To everyone else: Happy…July? I hope that wherever you are, you are enjoying good books.
In honor of the holiday this year, let's take a look at a few books that explore what it might be like to grow up among the rich and powerful in Washington, D.C.:

Here's what I've got my eye on in July:
A School for Brides: A Story of Maidens, Mystery, and Matrimony, by Patrice Kindl
The Heart of Betrayal (The Remnant Chronicles), by Mary E. Pearson
Two sequels! Or, well, a companion and a sequel. The Kindl is an adorable historical comedy that feels Wodehouse-y and Austen-y and is a delight from start to finish; the Pearson is the second installment ...

Learn about Windows PowerShell
Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to find a solid-state drive (SSD).
How can I use Windows PowerShell to find computers that have a solid-state drive (SSD)?
In Windows 8, use the Get-Disk function, and search the model information for the letters SSD:
PS C:\> get-disk | ? model -match 'ssd'
Number Friendly Name OperationalS Total Size Partition
tatus Style
------ ------------- ------------ ---------- -----------
0 INTEL SSDSA2BW160G3L Online 149.05 GB GPT
In Windows 7 and earlier, use the Get-WmiObject cmdlet and query the Win32_DiskDrive WMI class:
PS C:\> Get-WmiObject win32_diskdrive | where { $_.model -match 'SSD'}
Partitions : 3
DeviceID : \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0
Model : INTEL SSDSA2BW160G3L
Size : 160039272960
Caption : INTEL SSDSA2BW160G3L
What if "SSD" doesn't appear in the model? Is there a better way to check for an SSD?
I found there is no such "SSD" in my environment.
does not work on lenovo carbon x1. shows SanDisk SD5SG2256G1052E
@Ceasley There appears to be no API or WMI class that provides the information directly. You can look at the disk performance. See this article blogs.msdn.com/.../support-and-q-a-for-solid-state-drives-and.aspx
@Shawn you may also want to look at disk performance as an indicator. blogs.msdn.com/.../support-and-q-a-for-solid-state-drives-and.aspx
@Without If you know the name of your SSD, then you should modify the command to find and to return the SSD that you have.
This is a nice script, thank you. However, it won't catch all SSDs. I have an OCZ Octane 128 GB SSD and it reports itself simply as "OCZ OCTANE".
This will work for most SSDs, but might need to set up a small dictionary of names to catch the outliers.

2000 Ford F-100
Ford F-150 V6 XLT 2000. Transmission will not engage in 3rd gear or higher, it just move into neutral and lets the engine rev high and not engage until lower speed, then 2nd re-engages. Overdrive "OFF" works when it should be in 3rd gear, so getting around is still ok. I have heard that some control sensors to the PCM can cause similar issues. I don't want to replace the transmission only to find it was a sensor error.

>> Rumors are flying that Phoebe Philo, ex-Chloe designer, has been added to the payroll at Chanel, a house headed up by another ex-Chloe designer, Karl Lagerfeld. Is Pheebs following in the Kaiser's footsteps? Some sources are calling her the new muse for Chanel, others the "heir apparent." A publicist for Chanel who was questioned about the rumor gave a cryptic answer (as publicists always do): "[Karl] was laughing about it, so maybe Phoebe wants to be here, but she's not here at all." I say if the rumor's true, Phoebe should go for the coup d'etat approach.

Congregation Albert Youth Group Outing!
Quiet Waters Paddling Adventures welcomes the 7th grade Youth Group from Congregation Albert for a morning excursion through the Rio Grande bosque!
As the Rio Grande passes through Corrales, the river widens and slows considerably, braiding into multiple channels as it meanders through seemingly endless cottonwood Bosque. Although this trip is quite close to the sprawling development of greater Albuquerque, our guests will not see any of it, as the east bank is dominated by the Sandia Pueblo lands, while the west bank is entirely protected Bosque preserve. We'll stop and provide a light picnic at one of the many sandbars we'll encounter, before returning to civilization at the take-out at the Alameda bridge.
As we approach Alameda, the Rio spills into numerous narrow channels, winding it's way through several small islands, providing an almost tropical feel. Songbirds and waterfowl are plentiful in this section, and the views and sense of solitude are nothing short of remarkable. This is a very mellow float trip with few sections of fast moving water.
Limited to members of the 7th Grade youth group of Congregation Albert. Please contact Tammy Kaiser for details.

Ontario California is best known for it's airport and the grandest motor speedway ever built, but this weekend Ontario will also be home to a birthday party for what may be the most romantic jewel in America. Bicycles are clearly a romantic symbol and in America, the idea of owning your own small family businesses is iconic. Combine the two and you have the oldest bike shop in America continuously owned by one family being run by the 4th and 5th generation and carrying on the family name as well.
Founded just 25 years after the "invention" of the modern bicycle, Bumstead's is known for more than just it's longevity. Lloyd explains, "We were the first Schwinn Shop in Southern California. And since most historians consider Schwinn stores to have been the the first franchises, our business was at the forefront of both the huge Schwinn domination of the business and of the franchise concept. At one time Schwinn was one of the most recognized brands in America, right up there with Coke and Chevrolet."
Bumstead's has overcome difficult times, even in the recent past, but during the current recession, sales have increased over 30%, and the company is getting stronger as it enters its second century.
"So we're having a multi-purpose party," says Garrison. We're saluting our forefathers, thanking the community for its support, and celebrating our near-death experience and survival." The entire cycling community of all ages is invited to come over and share some of the best Taco's available in this city or any other. We have loads of door prizes to give away including two bicycles.
The sale starts Friday December 4 and last through the party on Sunday. The party starts at 1:00 on Sunday and goes until we run out of Tacos and free stuff.
# # #
Bumstead's Bicycles is the oldest retail bike shop in the United States that has been under the same family ownership. They are located one mile south of the 10 Freeway Mountain Exit at the corner of 4th Ave.

Despite a flaw or two, this was a really great read - it's one of those books that just sucks you into its world, and before you know it, you've finished it. I'm excited for the next installments.
The City of Ember is about two kids named Lisa and Doon who are trying to get out of Ember. Lights have been going out, and when you are 11, you must draw a job and do that job for three years. Lisa draws Pipeworks Laborer, and Doon draws Messenger. They trade and are both happy. As the lights are flickering, they are discovering clues to get out. I liked this book because the characters were up for anything to get out of Ember. I recommend this book to people who like fantasy.
Charming in some ways, but surprisingly short.

Brief description:
The city of Ember exists in a world of total darkness. The only light that exists comes from the electric lamps in town and everything beyond the city's borders is unreachable, shrouded in an impenetrable blackness. But when the power begins to fail and supplies run low, two young people, Lina and Doon, must find a way to save Ember by leaving the city for the Unknown Regions.
At least 2 characteristics of this genre and subgenre and how they appear in this book:
One major characteristic of dystopian fiction described in Chance's text is that such books often involve "dehumanizing situations and totalitarian governments". In the city of Ember, citizens do not have a choice in what path their lives take; they have a job assigned to them at a young age and spend the rest of their lives working in that occupation, whether they like it or not. This system has been in places for generations and is overseen by a corrupt mayor who, as the reader discovers, has been hoarding supplies for himself and keeping the truth about how dire their situation is from the citizens of Ember. When Lina and Doon learn of the mayor's unforgivable activities, they try to go to the authorities with the information only to be treated as criminals for for having done so. Classic dystopian literature, through and through.
Another characteristic of the genre is that the societies depicted often have a populace that lives in a state of perpetual fear and limitation. The darkness that engulfs Ember is filled with mystery, and the prospect of confronting the unknown terrifies the city's inhabitants. What's more, as the city begins to experience power outages with increasing frequency, the possibility that their only safe haven could go dark as well throws the city into a state of panic and hysteria. Without a means of transporting a light source with them, the citizens are trapped within the boundaries of the city, prisoners to the light and to their own fears.
In what ways and how well does the book as a whole serve its intended audience?
Lina and Doon are energetic, curious, and determined, all characteristics that one would hope to encourage and foster in young people. They overcome adversity and seemingly insurmountable circumstances to accomplish what others have told them is impossible. And they do so out of a sense of altruism toward the terrified citizens of their city, in hopes of saving them from impending doom. The kindness and tenacity demonstrated by these young heroes affirms for young readers that, despite their age, they are capable of accomplishing great things if they pursue them with passion.

While a book like ''Faerie Wars'' diverts young readers from their daily lives, one like ''The City of Ember'' encourages them to tackle the most ambitious tasks. Hard work can save the day, it promises. It's an old-fashioned lesson that is somehow easier to swallow when delivered in a futuristic setting.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375822747, Paperback)It is always night in the city of Ember. But there is no moon, no stars. The only light during the regular twelve hours of "day" comes from floodlamps that cast a yellowish glow over the streets of the city. Beyond are the pitch-black Unknown Regions, which no one has ever explored because an understanding of fire and electricity has been lost, and with it the idea of a Moveable Light. "Besides," they tell each other, "there is nowhere but here" Among the many other things the people of Ember have forgotten is their past and a direction for their future. For 250 years they have lived pleasantly, because there has been plenty of everything in the vast storerooms. But now there are more and more empty shelves--and more and more times when the lights flicker and go out, leaving them in terrifying blackness for long minutes. What will happen when the generator finally fails?
Twelve-year-old Doon Harrow and Lina Mayfleet seem to be the only people who are worried. They have just been assigned their life jobs--Lina as a messenger, which leads her to knowledge of some unsettling secrets, and Doon as a Pipeworker, repairing the plumbing in the tunnels under the city where a river roars through the darkness. But when Lina finds a very old paper with enigmatic "Instructions for Egress," they use the advantages of their jobs to begin to puzzle out the frightening and dangerous way to the city of light of which Lina has dreamed. As they set out on their mission, the haunting setting and breathless action of this stunning first novel will have teens clamoring for a sequel. (Ages 10 to 14) --Patty Campbell
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:13:44 -0400)
In the year 241, twelve-year-old Lina trades jobs on Assignment Day to be a Messenger to run to new places in her decaying but beloved city, perhaps even to glimpse Unknown Regions.

Following a weekend incident where a Grand Valley woman told police she was carjacked, kidnapped and robbed, the same woman was arrested Monday after police determine that the woman's story was unfounded.
Twenty-one-year-old Fruita resident Christina Swofford admitted to police that the incident which began on 28 road and cortland avenue and ended in an alley on 19th St. never happened and that the day before had conspired with an unidentified male to steal more than $500 from the Loco Food Store on Horizon Drive where she works. The woman also stated the theft was in order to buy methamphetamine, and that she concocted the story to cover up the theft.
Grand Junction Police say reporting a false incident not only misdirects manpower, it potentially endangers residents who really do need help.

The Legend of Korra returns June 27th!
This broke Friday when the internet was nick-deep in the Rian Johnson news, of course. But in any case: The third book of Legend of Korra begins airing next Friday! The official trailer, above, dropped while we were at JadeCon.
The argument against 'canon.' On The Mary Sue, April Daniels argues that the concept actually does fandom, properties and stories more harm than good.
ABC's The Goldbergs will have a Star Wars episode on May 6
I thought it was odd that Lucasfilm was collaborating with CBS' The Big Bang Theory for a Star Wars Day episode instead of a show on Disney-owned ABC, but today we get word that The Goldbergs will have one as well – on May 6th:
The episode sees Adam (Sean Giambrone) and Erica (Hayley Orrantia) encounter elaborately costumed Star Wars fans, including Reno 911′s Thomas Lennon, while waiting in line at the Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi opening.
Now I have to wonder… Will NBC (Community? Parks and Rec?) or Fox (Brooklyn Nine-Nine?) get in on the Star Wars action as well?
"I'm having a blast," J.J. Abrams says about the new Star Wars in a lengthy new Daily Mail interview.
TV recap pioneer Television Without Pity shutting down
Television Without Pity, one of, if not the internet's first television recap sites, is being shut down on April 4. Founded as Dawson's Wrap in the late 90's (and later Mighty Big TV) by Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, and David T. Cole, the site was sold to Bravo in 2007.
TWoP, along with since-shuttered sister sites Hissyfit and Fametracker and their respective forums, were hugely influential in creating the snarky tone that characterizes much pop culture coverage today. (Including, yeah, me.)
Often controversial, particularly in regards the forums, TWoP was nonetheless a huge force in various TV fandoms. (An infamous Sorkin incident actually inspired a b-plot on The West Wing.)
Ariano, Bunting and Cole are currently running Previously.TV Other alumni include Pamela Ribon and the ladies at Go Fug Yourself.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler 'reveal' their Episode VII roles
What with the Golden Globe blitz beginning (you go, Tatiana Maslany,) power hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are guest-editing this week's Entertainment Weekly – and naturally they're taking on Star Wars. Sort of.
The comedians joke that they're playing "really naggy mothers of Darth Vader."
FEY: [In an elderly New Yorker accent] "Darth, eat! Why don't you eat?" That kind of stuff.
POEHLER: "You're never gonna find a girl when you go out looking like that!"
FEY: Making him practice his Jedi stuff for hours.
POEHLER: Hitting on all his Jedi friends inappropriately. I feel like the theme of the next Star Wars is going to be: How does a working mother juggle it all? I'm looking forward to that. What I like about all these giant superhero movies is that they speak to the issues that I'm dealing with right now — working mother and time management and how to be an interesting, sexual, curious woman in your 40s. That's the kind of stuff that I like to see on the screen, and that's what I see with a lot of the films out today.
Even J.J. Abrams is playing along: "The exciting thing about having Amy and Tina play the Vader Moms, as we're calling them, is that they bring to the film that pitch-perfect Star Wars energy fans are clamoring for."
Somewhere, someone is taking all this at face value. Let's pretend we don't see them.

Michigan, UConn moveon to NCAA's Elite 8
INDIANAPOLIS Jordan Morgan scored 15 points and Nik Stauskas had 14 including a key free throw to help Michigan hold on for a 73-71 victory over Tennessee in Fridays first Midwest Regional semifinal.
The second-seeded Wolverines now play either Louisville, who they lost to in last years national championship game, or 2012 national champion Kentucky Sunday.
The Wolverines (28-8) led by 15 with 10:55 to go, but committed four turnovers in the final 97 seconds. Tennessee (24-13) cut the lead to 72-71 and had a chance to take the lead, but Jarnell Stokes was called for an offensive foul with 6 seconds left.
Stauskas then made 1 of 2 free throws and Tennessees long desperation heave was off the mark.
Jordan McRae scored 24 to lead the 11th-seeded Vols.
Connecticut 81,
Iowa State 76
NEW YORK DeAndre Daniels scored 26 points, 18 in the second half, and UConn held off Iowa State 81-76 on Friday to reach the East Regional final a year after the Huskies were barred from the NCAA tournament.
Daniels hit his first six shots after halftime, the only Husky to make a field goal for over 8 minutes. His 3-pointer gave seventh-seeded UConn a 49-32 lead.
The Cyclones rallied late, pulling within 67-63 with 2 minutes remaining. But senior Niels Giffey hit a 3 in the corner for his first points since the games opening moments, and when the Huskies (29-8) made their free throws in the final minute, the UConn fans packing Madison Square Garden could celebrate.

Re: New Ms. Marvel
I would have dated it to the 70s because of
Which is a question of relevance more so than date of origin, because I remember a character used Ms. in Grease II which was set in the 50s.
Oh my.
My brain works so slowly.
Inhuman society is more so strictly about arranged marriages than modern Muslims (My flatmate who I live with and her husband explained it as a series(literally, not a metaphor) of exclusive password locked chatrooms on an internet site, where the men and women are each given about 10 or so preapproved choices to pick from and then they figure out who they get along with best. She wasn't allowed to meet him in person for a year because they both had to prove that they were a good match before tens of thousands of dollars was spent on the wedding (it's a 3 day event. Soooo much food.). Of course this happened because they were both too socially awkward to find a partner in the western fashion, shy very shy, and their 30th birthdays were approaching, which no one was telling them that they were not allowed to do.) so after Kamala has spent her childhood trying to assert her rights as a modern woman to make her own choices, or agreed to a traditional application of her families needs to find a "suitable" parter, fricking space men from the moon are going to come down and supersede whatever marriage track she was on up to that point, even if there was none, the Attillian fricking Genetic Council are going to insist who it is that she is going to have children with and will probably get quite dramatic if she has an opposing view point on her own life contra to their own.
I'm getting ahead of myself, this is probably going to be in the third annual.

The C-Cup is designed to look and feel like an extension of the camera. It can be used with either eye, providing a comfortable, flexible cushion to push against and a solid third point of contact. It wraps around the eye to block out light, and it doesn't disrupt the camera's shape or balance. Simply put, the C-Cup allows you to comfortably use your C100's EVF so you can fully take advantage of the camera's excellent form-factor.
We've designed the C-Cup as simply as possible so that we can make it as cheaply as possible. The C-Cup doesn't add a diopter or lens - or anything for that matter. It simply changes the shape of the EVF's cushion. However simple, the C-Cup dramatically changes your shooting experience for a reasonable price.
To make the C-Cup inexpensively, we had to design it as a single piece. Because it's a single piece that form-fits to the C100's existing EVF, the C-Cup is not compatible with any other camera.
We ship from the United States. Please note that any international customs duties, fees and taxes are not included with your purchase. Additional charges may apply. In some cases, shipping can be delayed coming through customs. For additional informaion, please contact your local import office, and contact us any with questions or concerns.

Anyone doing the Amtrak Century Sept 6?
Anyone doing the Amtrak Century Sept 6?
I'll be there along with my riding buddy Julie.
I'll be riding it and returning on the train.
I'll be there and returning on the train
I'm going to take the train down and ride back.
I'm a rebel that way.
I'll be down there.
Cat 1 o-meter: cowering in fear
Thanks, Amtrak riders, for the empty wrappers and CO2 cartridges in my yard.
Just got back, ride report to follow soon.
Cat 1 o-meter: cowering in fear
My first time doing it, my short report. Started late, around 7. Maybe if we started earlier I wouldn't have the same complaints.
Muggy through Irvine to San Clemente, overcast and a little drizzly even, then beautiful in SD.
I was struggling through irvine a bit as I had already ridden 80 this week and wasn't even really aware the profile was pretty much uphill for 20 miles. Except for one "climb," couldn't really tell.
Not so much a fan of the course, at least the first 30 miles. You end up bunched with a ton of people. Some can ride, some cannot. Some (Mira Mesa Cycling Club for example) like to blow by you on the right without so much as a call out. Nice (only point them out because they were conspicuous in both their orange kits and their tendencies to pass on the right.... or even between in one case). Lots of other folks passing on the right as well.
A little bit of a winding circuitous course through North SD to get to lunch, then to avoid PCH through Carlsbad, I guess it was.
I am not a fan of riding in big crowds. I am less of a fan of riding in big crowds where I don't know you. I am training for IMAZ and using this as a training ride. Last thing I wanted was someone else to take me down. Yeah, I know, I read the threads before, I know a lot of people do it, would have been my own fault if I crashed due to a group. Lots of times I found myself hammering around a big group just to gt some clear space at the front.
We took measures to avoid the crowds when we could. I was so thankful when my buddy took us on an alternate route through San Clemente - instead of going under the freeway, turn right on some residential street that goes west of the freeway instead of east. We also took the street instead of the walled off bike path, figuring rightly that everyone would get bunched up in there)
Also went via Camp P. They said it was closed but our small group rolled through with our IDs. It was HEAVEN.
Also saw a lot of blowing lights etc., although it's an open course, not everyone was on the century.
Oh, a thanks to the OC Velo group that got me back to my buddies... we had just got on the bike path above Camp P and were cruising along, I gave up the pull right at a hill () and karma got me as I got dropped, the OCVelo guys came by and dragged me back to my group.
Ride time was 5:40 for 104. Waited around for about an hour, cuple beers, then got right on the train. Mr. Mardi Gras came through a couple times with his beads If you came through our car, we had two tables set up across eachtother with beer, wine, 4 different kinds of cheeses, pate, mortadella(sp?), other meats etc., brownies, and a big bald english guy handing out food to cute girls (and everyone else too)
Trucks were there and waiting with bikes when the train pulled up.
Unless my friends can make me forget the ride down and only remember the train ride back up (which was memorable), unlikely I'd do it next year. No fault of the organizers. Very well put on and supported (trash cans full of ice and soda/water at the end... brilliant). It just seems easier to do it on your own.
