The distinctive storytelling genius of Neil Gaiman has been acclaimed by writers as diverse as Norman Mailer and Stephen King. Now in this new collection of stories -- several of which have never before appeared in print and more than half that have never been collected -- that will dazzle the senses and haunt the imagination.
Miraculous inventions and unforgettable characters inhabit these pages: an elderly widow who finds the Holy Grail in a second-hand store...a frightened little boy who bargains for his life with a troll living under a bridge by the railroad tracks...a stray cat who battles nightly against a recurring evil that threatens his unsuspecting adoptive family. In these stories, Gaiman displays the power, wit, insight and outrageous originality that has made him one of the most unique literary artists of our day.

Review by Christina Schulman on 15 February 1999
Smoke and Mirrors is a career-spanning collection of short stories and poetry by Neil Gaiman, author of Neverwhere and the comic book series The Sandman. There's quite a bit of overlap with his earlier collection, Angels and Visitations. Some of the pieces are forgettable, and some should have stayed forgotten, but there are several brilliant stories here, with people and images that will haunt you long after you finish the book.
Gaiman plays fast and loose with both ancient and modern myths. "Chivalry" is a lovely, funny story about an elderly woman who finds the Holy Grail in a secondhand shop. "Bay Wolf" is an unlikely combination of "Beowulf" and "Baywatch". "Snow, Glass, Apples" is a version of Snow White that Disney would never have touched. And a few of the stories include direct nods to H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos; both "Shoggoth's Old Peculiar" and "Only the End of the World Again" feature encounters in Innsmouth.
Some of the stories have heavy-handed messages, and some are entertaining but pointless. And then there are a few that seem pointless until the point comes along and knocks you in the head three days later. "Murder Mysteries," about the investigation of the first murder, is one of the latter sort. Throughout the pieces collected in Smoke and Mirrors, Gaiman reveals a fascination with angels, demons, and computers; frequently he fails to distinguish between them.
Oddly enough, the best part of the book is the introduction, which includes an entire story as well as comments on each of the works in the collection. Flipping back and forth between the introduction and the stories is an awkward way to read, but Gaiman's comments offer quite a bit of insight into how he writes and where each piece came from.
Many of the pieces in Smoke and Mirrors include explicit language, sex, and mutilation; this book may not be suitable for children or congressmen. The quality is uneven, but at his best Neil Gaiman is very good indeed, and at his worst he's still creatively morbid.
Review by Neil Walsh on 30 May 1998
I've been a fan of Neil Gaiman's writing since issue #1 of Sandman first appeared on the shelves of my local comic store. And that's high praise from me, because I've only ever found 3 comic titles that had writing of a calibre to keep me interested for more than a few issues. Sandman was certainly one of them.
Last year, for the SF Site's "Best of 1997," I voted for Gaiman's novel, Neverwhere, as my choice for the best new book I read that year. For me, then, Smoke and Mirrors is a real treat as it offers not only a wide selection of stories and poems from one of my favourite writers, but also some insight into the mind of the artist.
I enjoy reading about the circumstances surrounding the story I'm about to read. But I hate boring, bad or excessively didactic introductions. I much prefer to read what the author has to say about his or her own work than to read some scholar's interpretation of the symbolism inherent in the blah, blah, blah. And in this book, Gaiman introduces each of his stories in his own words -- always brief, and always insightful.
The stories in this collection are not new, although a few of them have not been previously published. And don't be frightened off by the knowledge that there are a few poems interspersed throughout. Gaiman's poems tend to be more narrative than self-indulgent, and if there's an element of self-indulgence in his poems it's forgivable because it's generally in the format. Rondels and sestinas, for example, are cleverly structured poems which are difficult to do well, but which can cause a thrill of pleasure when they are successful.
In this collection, as in much of Gaiman's writing, the focus is on fairy tales, fantasy, surrealism, satire and sex. Call me lazy, if you will, but I don't care to single out individual stories in this review and concentrate on only those few. And there are too many to discuss all of them. Everyone will have their own favourites. Suffice it to say that if you're a fan of Neil Gaiman, Smoke and Mirrors is a must read. And if you're not a fan of Neil Gaiman, read this collection and you will be.

Why not use tables for layout in HTML?
Why not use tables for layout? I don't see what's the big deal. All my sites use a CMS so presentation is separated from the content from the get go.
And some things are easier to do with tables... like columns of equal height. Sure there are plenty of hacks and tricks but why do it? Where did this idea that it's wrong to use tables for layout come from anyway? From someone who had hundreds of actual .html documents on his site? Pfffft.
Seriously, if there are better reasons not to use tables (actual sane reasons, not connected to hungry kids in Africa or blind Internet users), I'd like to know. Because I really want to make three columns of equal height and I don't want it to take longer than 20 seconds.

Florence sees Sprout as a way to expose more young eaters to a wider variety of more flavorful foods. His own "Aha!" moment came when a friend's toddler was spitting up old-fashioned jar food. Florence steamed and pureed carrots, and the boy licked the bowl clean.
"If you're feeding a child just sort of green gruel out of a jar and they're spitting it up all over their shirt, they're saying, 'Listen, I don't like this stuff,' " Florence said.
Organic pouches can run $1.69 for 4 ounces, compared to 99 cents for some jarred food. Still, Meagan Call of Cleveland, Ohio, says she can get them on sale for about $1. Call sees pouches as a healthy alternative to sugar-heavy juice boxes for her 18-month-old son.
"They're more like smoothies," Call said. "That's what I see it as. I'm giving him smoothies and smoothies are fairly healthy as long as you don't overdo it."
Not everyone is cooing over pouches, though.
One common criticism is that in some cases a pouch will read something like "spinach and apples," giving an impression of a vegetable-rich meal even if the ingredient label lists more apples than spinach. More pointedly, some critics claim that parents tend to over-rely on pouches.
Dina Rose, a sociologist who writes the "It's Not About Nutrition" blog, said while pouches can be a beneficial "bridge" to fresh fruits and vegetables, they are no substitute.
"It lulls people into thinking that they've done their fruit-and-vegetable job. So they're done," Rose said. "And it gets them out of what they think of as the struggle to get their kids to eat fruits and vegetables."

Yuan Drop Makes Room for Capital-Market Reform, HSBC's Lunt Says
The recent decline in the yuan is opening the door for Chinese policy makers to loosen controls on the country's capital markets, according to HSBC Global Asset Management.
The yuan has depreciated 0.9 percent this year after rising 31 percent in the seven years through 2011. Lowered expectations for currency appreciation will drive away speculators, creating a window to carry out changes such as reducing the government's control of interest rates, said Geoffrey Lunt, a senior product specialist for fixed income at HSBC Global Asset Management.
"The stars have aligned," Lunt said in an interview at Bloomberg's headquarters in New York. "All the steps they've taken are going in the same direction."
China has sped up the reforms in the capital markets this year, giving banks more freedom to decide on deposit and lending rates, widening the yuan's trading band and more than doubling the amount foreigners can invest in domestic financial markets.
Further opening up of the market will create more investment opportunities, said Lunt, whose company started a fund this month to invest in yuan-denominated fixed-income securities.
The yuan will continue to rise between 2 and 4 percent against the dollar annually over the coming years, as growth in China outpaces the U.S., according to Lunt.

Kids' Pitching Injuries Rising; Study Blames Overuse
Latest Healthy Kids News
SUNDAY, June 23 (HealthDay News) -- Despite the introduction of pitching limits in youth baseball, throwing injuries requiring surgery are increasing at a dramatic rate in the United States. Now, a new study identifies the major reasons behind this continuing rise.
According to one estimate, serious throwing injuries now occur 16 times more often than 30 years ago.
This three-year national study of more than 750 pitchers, ages 9-18, identified several factors contributing to the problem, according to study leader Dr. Joseph Guettler, an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist with the Beaumont Health System in Royal Oak, Mich.
"It became very clear that dangerous pitching behavior is occurring among pitchers as young as Little League all the way through their high school years. And, the blame doesn't usually lie with the leagues or coaches. Most were found to be adhering to nationally recognized guidelines for pitch limits and rest. It seems much of the blame lies with behavior of parents and their kids," Guettler said in a health system news release.
Contrary to national guidelines limiting pitches thrown, about 13 percent of pitchers pitched competitively for more than eight months of the year, 40 percent pitched in a league without pitch counts or limits, nearly 57 percent pitched on back-to-back days, and 19 percent pitched more than one game in the same day.
The study also found that nearly one-third of pitchers pitched for more than one team during the same season, one-third played only baseball, and 10 percent also played catcher on the same team. Catcher is another position that requires a lot of throwing.
"The most prevalent reasons for arm pain and tiredness can be boiled down to five major issues," Guettler said. "The following behaviors can lead to arm pain and tiredness which can then lead to the most significant shoulder and elbow injuries."
These are:
The first step in reducing the number of pitching injuries can be remembered with a simple, newly coined "Rule of Ones," Guettler said.
It means one game a day, one day of pitching then rest, one position at a time during a pitched game, one team at a time, only one pitch before high school, and at least one season of some other organized sport. If a young pitcher says his or her arm is sore or tired, parents need to make sure the youngster takes some time off. One complaint of arm soreness or tiredness equals one week off.

Have downloaded latest version of Skype & am a new user.
When I try to access Skype I get a message saying:-
The procedure entry point NtAlpc SendWaitReceivePort could not be located in the dynamic link library ntdll.dll.
When pressin OK Skype loads .
I have removed Skype & downloaded again but still have problem
Please help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
18-06-2012 07:52
The problem is not in Skype but with some other applications installed on your computer. See e.g. this
Do you have installed the Kies software for Samsung phones?
18-06-2012 08:24
Thanks for that info.
I renamed the file & now all ok.
Samsung KIES have a lot to answer for to cause this problem
23-06-2012 15:54
In your message, you indicate that you found the solution on the error message, but unfortunaltely I cannot find it from the differents links provided (sorry but i am not a super user of computer).
can you provide me a short explanation of what need to be done to fix this problem...(renaming some kind of files in kies!)
23-06-2012 16:16
The solution is provided in this article:
Look for the post of Ragamuffa.:
"The problem seems to be caused by the avrt.dll that Kies put in the Windows\System32 folder.
Simply renaming the file stopped the annoying pop-ups to appear all the time. Worked for me at least in Windows XP SP3."
24-06-2012 02:21
hello again
the solution to the problem seem to be renaming the avrt.dll file in windows...
when you rename the file... what should be the renamed file ? I"ve tried to use the same name (avrt.dll) but did not worked
24-06-2012 05:51
I changed it to temp.dll
03-07-2012 15:57
Thank you so much fixed avrt.dll problem

Got the same message after being forced to upgrade skype.
So now i'm forced to disable my 6 month old phones software, because MS/skype changed/upgraded their software ? ... SWEET
Personally, if i had to guess, i'm betting this is just a first step towards a process of forcing or trying to force XP users to upgrade their OS if they want to use skype.
It happened with MS messenger, the latest version of messenger wont work on XP. Im sure MS wanted this to happen.
another nail in skype's coffin .
PS if i'm forced to change anything, i'll downgrade skype , or remove it for other software first...

text: Hello, I have a few questions about generalizing a few 4-vectors into tensors based on physical and intuitive arguments. The first question I have is if I can form a Stress-Energy-Momentum tensor out of the energy-momentum wave 4-vector [tex]\hbar k_{\alpha}[/tex]? The formation of the stress-energy tensor in GR came out by associating the energy momentum 4-vector with a 3-volume. What if I preform that same association with the wave 4-vector? The result I obtain is still of course a stress-energy-momentum tensor when multiplied by [tex]\hbar[/tex], however by it self it is simply just a wave-tensor, with the [tex]k_{0i}[/tex] components representing momentum and energy, but with the [tex]k_{ij}[/tex] components representing the flux of [tex]k[/tex] or the [tex]\frac{dk}{dt}[/tex] across [tex]dA[/tex]. Is this result generally known and unaccepted, or is it physically absurd and hence dismissed? The second part of my post hinges on the former idea, however I'll still write it for fun. the wave 4-vector is commonly contracted with the coordinate 4-vector. However, if the wave tensor exists, it will need to be contracted with a coordinate tensor. using dimensional analysis the spatial components of the coordinate tensor [tex]x^{\alpha\beta}[/tex], [tex]x_{ij}[/tex], are 4-volumes, each containing the multiplication of two, 2-surfaces. one, a spatial surface, and the other a temporal surface, with the diagonal elements being a typical 4-volume from GR [tex] v=\int \sqrt{-g}d^{4}x[/tex]. Pending the first part of the post, is this an acceptable generalization of the coordinate 4-vector into a tensor? any help would be appreciated.

NVIDIA 180.22 Drivers Support OpenGL 3.0 and More
The NVIDIA proprietary drivers for Linux are now out of beta phase and into a stable version. The new generation includes a number of new features.
The newly supported graphics chips for NVIDIA include a few GeForce series 9 cards. Next to OpenGL 3.0, the drivers now offer a Video Decode and Presentation API for UNIX (VDPAU) that allows delegating video decoding and post-processing to the graphics card GPUs, a function especially welcome in the science field.
Developers will also be pleased with NVIDIA's integration of the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) in version 2.1 (beta) to help in performance optimization. Glyph cache is activated by default to accelerate graphics rendering. The new NVIDIA also fixes numerous bugs related to a use of modified xorg.conf data and improved the driver stability, including support of the current Linux kernel.
Linux versions for testing of the NVIDIA 180.22 drivers are available for 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

No Annual Fee Chase Freedom® Can Give You an 'Extra' 24,000 Points Per Year, Each Year
If you have a Chase Freedom card, you've got two weeks left to keep earning 5 points per dollar in first quarter categories if you've already registered to do so.
And you can now register to earn 5 points per dollar in a new set of categories during the second quarter of April – June.
Chase Freedom offers 5 points per dollar in a rotating set of categories which change each quarter. Here's the list for 2014:
- Q1 (January 1 – March 31, 2014): Gas stations, movie theaters and Starbucks® stores
- Q2 (April 1 – June 30, 2014): Restaurants and Lowe's® home improvement stores
- Q3 (July 1 – September 30, 2014): Gas stations and Kohl's®
- Q4 (October 1 – December 31, 2014): Amazon.com, Zappos.com and select department stores
You have to register anew each quarter for the bonus, and then you can earn the 5x offering on up to $1500 in spend for that quarter.
Since this represents an extra 4 points per dollar on top of the standard 1 you'd earn with most cards and in most categories of spending, you pick up an extra 24,000 points per year with Chase Freedom. Which is pretty good on a no annual fee card. (The math is 4 extra points per dollar x $1500 per quarter x 4 quarters, so 4 extra points on $6000 spend or 24,000 points.)
You can actually sign up any time during the registration period and earn the full 5x points for the entire quarter. So second quarter registration (earning period April – June) runs March 15 through June 14. If you register on June 14, the earning period would be retroactive — your qualifying spending for the entire second quarter would count.
To Get the Most Value from the Freedom Cards, You Need Sapphire Preferred, Ink Plus, or Ink Bold Too
The Freedom Cards are cash back cards only — 1% for normal spend, 5% for the 5x bonuses spend each quarter — unless you have one of the premium Ultimate Rewards cards.
If you have a Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, Ink Plus® Business Card or Ink Bold® Business Card, you can move your points earned with Freedom over to an account with one of these cards.
When you have one of the premium Ultimate Rewards cards like Ink Bold, Ink Plus, or Sapphire, all of the points are transferable to miles and points with Ultimate Rewards partners.
- Airlines: United, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Korean Airlines, Southwest
- Hotels: Hyatt, Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, IHG Rewards

Came in the game the least favorite
Made it through rain, now it's haling
Lyric Meaning
When MGK started out, he was hated on by most. You'd think the troubles stop now that he has made it, but instead it has gotten harder for him (rain vs. hail). Hate all you want, but who's made the 2012 XXL Freshman Class?

Article Summary
Where so-called robot tuning was once the exclusive domain of Gibson's higher end models like the gorgeous Firebird X, the introduction of its Min-ETune system at this year's Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Germany sees the iconic guitar maker widening the field a little. The folks behind the technology were also at the trade fair, showing off a retrofit auto tuning system called TronicalTune. Essentially the same as Gibson's new mechanical tuner, the Tronical kit comes in a number of different configurations to cater for do-it-yourself installation on various guitar makes and models.

Review by childofchristmas
This ammo is a great price and shoots and groups better than the wolf and brown bear ammo i have shot in the past. The price is awesome- cheaper than cheaper than dirt and the sportsmans guide. The shipping from this site is less expensive than most others, and arrived in 3 days. The ammo does burn dirty like all the others but that is to be expected. This ammo cycled with no issues and only have had 1 misfire out of over 2000+ rounds fired. Thats pretty dang good to me. With iron sight on my wasr10's i grouped about 2" at 75 yds which is good enough for me. (Posted on 5/20/11)

Absolutely Amazing!
Review by Evan
Review by Evan
This is the same ammo I buy at my local range, but priced at about 40% less than what I pay there. Shipped immediately, I ordered it on a Sunday evening and it was here by 4 p.m. the following Tuesday.
I've fired 2000+ rounds of this ammo from my AK-47 over the past 6 month and every single one of them has gone bang when I pulled the trigger. No problems with jams either.
Overall, an absolutely great deal! Won't be buying ammo at the range again! (Posted on 4/20/11)

Xtreme Chrome
As you may know, Xtreme Chrome was hit hard by the Colorado flooding of September 2013 and was shut
down for several months. We were able to regroup and have been working out of a temporary shop in
Brighton, Colorado since February of 2014. After the flood hit, I was forced to go back to my previous job to
be able to rebuild Xtreme Chrome. Well, that job has become all-consuming, and I just don't have the time
needed to commit to rebuild Xtreme Chrome to its highest potential. Consequently, I have decided to sell
the business.
I apologize that I can't help you with your next project but want to take this opportunity to thank all of our
customers for the terrific support and feedback over the years. I had a great time, met some fabulous
people, and was part of building some really nice cars!

Maria Marten, or the Murder in the Red Barn: The Theatricality of Provincial Life
Pedley, Catherine, Nineteenth Century Theatre and Film
Maria Marten disappeared from her family home in the village of Polstead, Suffolk in May 1827. The twenty-seven year old had arranged to meet her lover - the squire's son William Corder - at the village's red barn, from where they were to elope in order to be married in the nearest major town, Ipswich. Nothing was heard from Maria after this date, although Corder sent repeated letters to her family claiming that his new wife was in good health and staying with friends. The following year Maria's stepmother, Ann, experienced a series of vivid dreams, in which she claimed that the location of Maria's murdered body had been revealed to her. Disturbed by these visions, Ann sent her husband to dig up the floor of the red barn and there he discovered the body of his daughter. William Corder was traced to London, arrested and returned to Suffolk, where he was tried and hung at Bury St. Edmunds in August 1828.
The Marten case dominated the national and regional press during the summer months of 1828 and numerous theatricalisations of the crime rapidly appeared, fostered both by the melodramatic nature of the events themselves and the high level of public interest that they provoked. These contemporary representations, on stage and in the press, shared a dependence upon the emerging mass audience(s) of popular culture and, consequently, existing accounts of the felony both acknowledge and affirm the public fascination with the murder. What is revealed through these similarities is an inherent level of theatricality within the case itself: an idea enforced in the introduction to a book-length study of the Red Barn Murder written by the respected journalist James Curtis, where he linked the spheres of popular entertainment and violent crime explicitly, stating that Polstead Village had lately been the theatre' of a dreadful tragedy.1 The points at which the three historically specific forces of the stage, the press and the audience intersected in relation to the Marten case illustrate the complexity of the relationship between early nineteenth-century mass cultural forms.
Although stage interpretations of the murder of Maria Marten were concerned with a contemporary event and that - at first glance - they appear simply to be crude examples of the melodramatic form, performances based on the tragedy spanned the entirety of the nineteenth century.2 The enduring popularity of the Red Barn plays distinguishes them from the majority of early melodrama and is witness to the way in which the tale captured the popular imagination and entered into both urban and provincial folklore. Furthermore, although the industrial technologies of mass culture were central to the prolonged fame of the crime, the melodramas that the case inspired have a notable lack of a London performance history. Rather, the story of these productions belongs to the provincial theatrical experience, the booth theatre, the portable theatre and the puppet show, where versions of the play were a regular part of the popular repertoire.3 The production pattern of touring drama during this period typically saw a play's history originate in London, with popular pieces, or adapted versions of them, then transferring to the provincial stage(s).4 Melodramas based on the tale of Maria Marten offer an unusual glimpse of a different model, where the current understanding of drama in the provinces became central both to the history of the plays and to the level of theatricality that was involved in the transmission of the tale.
In Victorian Studies in Scarlet, a study of the inter-relationships between cultural conditions and public taste, Richard Altick identified the early nineteenth-century response to murder - characterised by the Marten case - as the combined product of an anomalous succession of sensational criminal cases and the birth of a new breed of journalism; a competitive press industry that was 'ready and eager to exploit crime, even ordinary crime, as it had never been exploited before'. …

Climate Change Threatens Coral Reefs
HRI 2015 Report Card Press Release
HRI 2015 Report Card Short Press Release
The 2015 Report Card for the Mesoamerican Reef is based on a new study of 248 coral reef sites along 1000 km of the Caribbean coasts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras, which were monitored for living coral cover, fleshy macroalgal cover, herbivorous fish biomass (parrots and surgeonfish) and commercially important fish biomass (snappers and groupers).
Reviews and Comments on our 2015 Report Card:
"Given the growing scientific concern about coral reefs and the general decline in fish stocks globally – our measureable improvement in the condition of the Mesoamerican Reef, particularly fish populations, is encouraging", says Dr. Melanie McField, Director of the Healthy Reefs Initiative / Smithsonian Institution.
"The exciting news that Guatemala has recently joined Belize and the Bay Islands of Honduras in banning the fishing of parrotfish is another critical step for the long-term conservation and recovery of corals on Mesoamerican reefs. Protecting herbivores of all kinds is critical to this endeavor. Congratulations to the Healthy Reefs Initiative for helping to promote this impressive effort, which I encourage other countries in the Caribbean to follow." says Dr. Jeremy Jackson of Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Smithsonian Institution.
"You must be doing something right, because here, there are plenty of reasons for hope. Cordelia Banks, off Roatán, Honduras, is one of the best places I have seen, even counting 50 years ago, an amazing stand with acres of staghorn coral." stated Dr. Sylvia Earle, founder of Mission Blue.
"The science is clear that protecting parrotfish can help corals grow and maintain the high-quality reef habitat needed to support productive fisheries for the future. The Mesoamerican Reef has the potential to become the world's first international ecoregion to protect parrotfish in all of its reef area." says Professor Peter Mumby of the University of Queensland.

second that motion
We are legion. The time of our return is coming. Our numbers will darken the sky of every world.
second that motion
Seems appropriate given the amount of guns on this beast.
Is that burning Space Station part of the nebula's effects or is it just damaged from combat?
I see mod of the year potential all over these images.
Easily deserved. This is the best, most professional, and most comprehensive mod for Oblivion ever released. Excellent job! I eagerly look forward to future projects from SureAI.
You need a better computer dawg
This is a great representation of a great mod.
Perfection in tangible form
This mod better win top 100.
Use Chrome - ITS THE BEST!
This helps with city defense as you can put archers on the outer wall and they can attack without ever being attacked back. Still a weird problem, but I find it makes siege battles more intense having everyone fortifying the inner ring instead of more spread out.
I think the quest markers should be increased somewhat. It is fine to remove them for locations you have already visited, but for undiscovered locations it is really a pain. I cant find anyone to give me directions.
Possible bug: most of the NPCs in the game automatically have 100 disposition towards me. My personality and speechcraft are very low andI am that elf race that no one likes. Shouldnt people hate me?
Win planetary bonuses be added to the planets created in the mod?
Absolutely amazing sound work. MUCH better than original Oblivion.
Definitely the most original mod I have ever played.
I have a problem with GC. The enemy AI is too passive. I have yet to be attacked once on hard difficulty. Is this common or is there a fault in my download?
Take your time. This will be perfect.
**** that
Never mind I found it.
Where is the exe file to start the program? There is the icon for it, but not the shortcut it applies to. Mod installed fine.
OOOOOOOOOOh the possibilities!!
Is there a GC mode planned that will allow me to play the UNSC vs Covenant? In v1 the humans and aliens are one faction and I want them to fight each other.
I just played and it was awesome! Perfect fob guys, the explosions are amazing. This mod surpassed my greatest expectations on V.1
around 70 unless he dies in battle or from plague first
I have a problem where the first ring of Minas Tirith citadel bugs. You can put soldiers on the wall but the enemy army can just walk through. All other rings are fine. Anyone else having this issue?
the corruption is a character trait. To change it type in
give_trait Frodo "trait name" 0 I dont know the trait name so you have to search the Third Age mod files for it.
change the campaign end date descr_strat file in the TATW mod folder. MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!
Yes. When playing Fellowship the game crashes to desktop on all battles after when the fellowship breaks up (question mark quests appear across map). All battles before them are fine. No problem in conquest mode. Everything is patched. Playing on very hard. Did I do something wrong or is there a bug and others have my problem?

"This is a gorgeous birthday party invitation. I've received a number of compliments on it as I've been receiving RSVPs. The colors are bright and pretty, the design is modern and fun. I also like that it's a versatile design. My daughters are turning 9 and 7 so I was able to have their ages included on the little red and white signs on the two cupcakes on top of the red cake stand."
"Absolutely adorable design. The paper quality and printing are superb. Easy to personalize with just the right color and font."
"I ordered this card for my three-year old daughter. I love how this card is not all pink and frilly, and I can see this design being appropriate for all different ages."
"Just received the cards; they were better than expected. Thick, quality paper. I splurged for the iridescent paper but due to the background color of the card, the pearlescent quality does not show up, so I wouldn't spring for that for this particular card. The regular card stock will do. Overall, happy with the card."
"I used white and black text. The white text stands out very well. The black is not too bad - I used it for details of the party. If you want everything to stand out, white text is your best option."

My passion is showing women how powerful they are and guiding them to create a life, love, health, work and contribution that feeds their soul and shines their light.
I coach clients on Clarity, Connection, Confidence and Certainty
- Clarity on where you're stuck and momentum to move you forward
- Connection to your inner power to ignite your energy and release what doesn't serve you
- Confidence to become the woman you're meant to be and ROCK your powerful life
- Certainty of how to create a life you enjoy and future you look forward to
|Until you learn how powerful you are and how to direct your energy deliberately, your life is created by default:
I'm an experienced, highly trained and Certified: Life Coach, Hypnotherapist and NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) Practitioner. My powerful work with the subconscious mind (where problems reside and are solved) began in 1984 with an American Indian Shaman and continues today with top instructors and mentors. I write for the largest relationship advice website on the web and my online and offline articles have been syndicated and shared extensively by my worldwide audience.
What this means to you
Working with me puts you on the fast-track to solving your problems once and for all. Talk is surface-level and deals with the conscious mind – NOT where your problems reside.
Every problem has a root cause that needs to be released from a deeper place and there's no need to re-live any painful or scary memories to do it.
I walk my clients step-by-step through my highly successful process of awakening and igniting their inner power that they enjoy lifetime benefits from.
My coaching clients get a customized game plan with the exact path they'll follow from where they are now to where they want to be. It's tangible enough to hang on their wall and keep them inspired!
My Story
You know the tall, skinny read-head in school who is constantly teased and never picked for teams? That was me and I felt lost and alone. The school nurse told my mom I needed to wear glasses. It was a financial stretch but my parents got them but I never wore them for fear I'd be teased even more. It was a metaphor. My choice was literally not to see what was going on around me because it was painful and I didn't know what to do about it.
In my 20's I was successful as one of the first female paramedics in the U.S. I courageously jumped out of the first plane I ever flew in on a dare, moved to Hawaii, San Diego and Lake Tahoe by myself and outwardly was a confident, happy woman. However, decisions I made with my hidden low self-esteem led me to become a survivor of years of rape and domestic violence by age 29.
Similar situations break women daily but what it broke in me was the ceiling on my self-esteem and confidence. It taught me how to step into my power!
Using what I'd learned about my subconscious mind, I ignited my inner power and released the trauma to move forward. My passion for helping others inspired me to create SURVIVE! Self-Defense. I personally trained thousands of men, women, teens and kids over the next 12 years, appearing on local and national TV, writing and publishing 4 books and a DVD and becoming a sought-after speaker and trainer for Fortune 500 companies, organizations and schools. My classes and talks were fun, entertaining and empowering, just like my coaching style is today.
Recruited by the largest personal growth company in the world, I fell in love with coaching as a member of a professional coaching team. My worldwide clientele enjoys powerful customized strategies and game plans that guide them from where they are now to where they want to be.
Learning how to step up, step forward and step into my power has allowed me to create a life I love and prevent much of the stress and fear other women face. It is my intention to shine a light for other women who are ready to do the same.
I've boldly created my own magnificent life-transformation by stepping into my power, steering clear of the common trap that creates a future based on pain from the past.
Two of my many personal success stories using the same proven system I use with my clients…
Success #1: I bought a $2 framed beach poster at a yard sale that inspired me to move six hours away to the beach within three months but had no friends, clients or place to live there. Three WEEKS later I moved in to a condo at the beach and had Fortune 500 clients.
Success #2: In the spring of 2013, after experiencing dozens of intense hot flashes day and night for six weeks, I completely and naturally eliminated them and haven't had one since.My clients' experiences and transformations have been just as powerful.
Get out of your rut and into your groove! You deserve to be happy, free and confident.

Journal Sentinel business reporter Tom Daykin talks about commercial real estate and development.
King Drive apartments dedication includes statue unveiling
The unveiling of a new statue honoring civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. will be part of the dedication ceremony for the latest phase of the King Drive Commons apartments development.
The ceremony will begin at 10:30 a.m. Friday at 2705 N. Martin Luther King Drive. It will mark the completion of the development's fourth phase, a $10 million project with 41 rental units on scattered sites in an area bordered roughly by N. King Drive, N. 6th St., W. Center St. and W. Locust St.
Those units consist of four single-family homes, six apartments, 10 duplexes and 21 townhomes.
The development, led by the nonprofit groups Martin Luther King Economic Development Corp. and Impact Seven Inc., includes a garden featuring the statue created by sculptor Zenos Frudakis.
The $25 million King Drive Commons' first three phases included an 18-unit apartment building at 2774 N. King Drive, nine rowhouse apartments at 2767 N. King Drive, and a 24-unit building, with a street-level fresh food market operated by Growing Power, at 2719 N. King Drive.
There's another Martin Luther King statue on the street's south end, in the 1700 block of N. King Drive.

Good news for PACB -- the check's in the mail.
The village of Baldwinsville and towns of Lysander and Van Buren have all received quarterly franchise fees from Time Warner Cable, a percentage of which is designated to the Baldwinsville public access channel (PACB -- Channel 98). For the month of June, Baldwinsville, Lysander and Van Buren received payments of $732.34, $2,015.38 and $1,253.25 respectively for PACB. According to Andy Dryden, chairman of the PACB board, it's not a minute too soon.
"We haven't had any money for about a year," Dryden said. "It's been a long time coming,"
Dryden said the PACB board plans to use the funds as a down payment on a new home. PACB is currently housed in the basement of the Baldwinsville Public Library, an arrangement that was intended to be temporary but has lasted for years. The municipal agreement, negotiated between the village, two towns and Time Warner, is a 10-year contract, which means the station will have a steady flow of income for the next decade, enabling the PACB board to secure a permanent location.
"We're buying a new home for PACB," Dryden said.
Another part of the municipal contract stipulated that Time Warner donate used equipment to the station. So far, the station has several digital cameras with a digital control center but still uses some VHS tapes. The board plans to use some of the franchise fee funds to purchase updated equipment in order for the station to become completely digitalized. The updated system will allow volunteer camera operators to download videos via the Internet rather than traveling to the PACB station when they are finished filming an event, game or meeting.
"The new system is more convenient for volunteers," Dryden said. "We have to look at getting a new crew of volunteers."

Just won a pair of early 90's Shimano 600 aero brake levers off ebay. Pretty good condition, question . . .
The 600's were Ultegra level correct? And what is the diff between 600/SLR/and 600EX?
Thank you!

Thank you!
600=early Ultegra
SLR = Shimano Linear Response? (edit:I was right ),but they do have a return spring in the lever, not just the caliper.

The 600 series were great levers and very popular with women because of their ease of use with those with smaller hands.
Shimano 600, 600AX, 600EX, and 600EX Arabesque were all precursors to the present day Ultegra. Shimano added Ultegra to the 600 name in the late 80s (circa 1988ish from what I recall). Eventually they dropped the 600 and the gruppo became known just as Ultegra.
I don't recall the brake levers of the 600EX lineup ever having EX engraved or printed on them; they just simply had Shimano 600 either across the front of the lever (BL-6200) or down the front of the lever (BL6207-6209). The 600AX had 600 and an "alpha" character and an "x" engraved on the front of the lever.
You can tell by the part number whether the levers are EX or not. The following part numbers were all EX:
SLR stands for Shimano Linear Response. This system included a return spring in the brake lever as well as changes to the calipers to reduce friction. One of the main things that the return springs in the brake levers do is allow the brake lever to snap back to its resting state when released instead of being pulled back to its resting state by the force of the caliper spring alone.

Shoddy room.
The suite was supposed to have been a luxury suite if so then I would hate to see the standard suite.
The suite needed a good clean, the carpet strip to the kitchen area was lifting off the floor and the floor covering was tatty and dirty. The suite was very hot and stuffy unable to open windows. On the good side the bathroom was the best room and there were plenty of clean towels but overall I would not recommend a stay here. Even for London this was one of the worse I've experienced ....

my room
this is me finally reviewing this hotel.my first room which i was given was number 110 and when i opened the door there was the painter still doing the room, so i went down to reception told them and got given room 106 as a replacement.
here is what i found with my room,ready for this!. kitchen hob was burnt and maybe didnt work,microwave was melted.marks on the kitchen worktop, the tv-dvd plaver didnt work also the tv remote didnt work either, the kitchen table chairs were marked too,sofa slightly stained,walls were scuffed in the living area and bedroom,bathroom cabinet above the sink wasnt cleaned properly with a shelf insecure inside the cabinet also a hole in a tile above the cabinet too and a crack in another tile on the wall the shower head wasnt cleaned properly and also the extractor fan needed cleaned. the key door lock was missing from the door and had tissue paper inside where the lock should have been.the hall walls were scuffed too as well as the bedroom walls.another couple of sockets were required in the bedroom.no knives,forks and spoons were in the kitchen drawers which was annoying and also there was a staining on my duvet which i could see through the cover and also the view was dreadful and when i booked the two nights the friday was 109 pounds and the sat was 139 so i wouldnt recommed this room plus the tube station was a good 20 min walk away from the hotel.

The staff very helpful. I couldn't believe the quality of the place.

It was a last minute booking, we wasn't expecting it to be what it was- it was a nice suprise
They met out needs and it was such a reasonable price, it seemed too good for the money, we we're pleasantly suprised when we entered the hotel, it was like a 1 bedroom flat considering it was described as a studio, it was great the rooms were all separate and had a balcony which was our main pirority as we wanted to smoke and could do so outside on it, the traffic was heard but we we're warned by the hotel reception when I booked.
But considering we we're staying in London we didn't expect anything less. It was so very clean and was a very comfortable stay.

Photos do not depict what it's like it was in a bad state of repair and I would not recommend
On check in we were told we had been upgraded to a luxury apartment free of change so we were expecting a nice room like in the photos...this could not be further from the truth we stayed in room 213 and it was in awful repair which we didn't fully notice until it was to late to complain as we literally dropped our stuff and went out.
The cooker hob looked dangerous...we were on a budget and expected to eat there not a chance. The cupboard doors were broken and hanging off and barely no cooking equipment available. The bathroom had a fan held on to the ceiling with plasters, and the shower was broken and hanging off the wall. The blinds were bent and broken so no proper coverage the rooms were overlooked by others where men were staring in our rooms?. The bedding for the sofa bed was unclean big stains on the duvet. The towels had certainly seen better days. The window in the lounge wouldn't close so one of us had noise all night. The bedroom was really hot but if you opened the window it was too noisy so you couldn't win. The one socket available in the bedroom was broken with a large crack all through, plugged phones into the sockets in the hall way but had to remove them as the plug got so hot so couldn't recharge my phone. I had enquired about leaving luggage the next day which was ok and we did so however just so people know the luggage is left in reception where anyone could take them or go through them they didn't check if they were our bags on collection we just took them?. If this is an upgraded room I would hate to see an average one all in all we were very disappointed and would expect more for the price!!

Jimmy Carter is at war with those he claims to be part of. How one does that and still seems to think he is part of them is quite curious. In the most recent edition of GQ magazine, the former president fired shots across the bow of those he disagrees with, declaring his own credentials to enter the fray and then warning of the dire consequences of not taking his side on the matter:
"I'm one of the few people who have the Christian credentials to debate other Christians, and the political credentials of having been in the White House," he said. "I think it's incumbent upon me to speak out ..."
That, Mr. Carter, depends entirely upon the manner in which you speak. How exactly does one earn "Christian credentials" anyway? (And a bit of help here – let's not bring up your White House years – most Americans have tried to forget them.)
The former president is an angry man, and while he speaks convincingly of his ability to teach Sunday school at his Plains, Ga., church, an examination of the substance of his message is what actually needs to be considered.
In the interview, he spent the first two-thirds discussing his disgust with what he terms "fundamentalists." He went on to describe them like this:
I define fundamentalism as a group of invariably male leaders who consider themselves superior to other believers. The fundamentalists believe they have a special relationship with God. Therefore their beliefs are inherently correct, being those of God, and anyone who disagrees with them are first of all wrong, and second inferior, and in extreme cases even subhuman. Also, fundamentalists don't relish any challenge to their positions ... It makes a great exhibition of rigidity and superiority and exclusion.
Funny, that's not how the vast majority of evangelical Christians (the fundamentalists you're seething with rage over) identify themselves. In fact, the fundamentals of the Christian faith may in fact be the most ecumenically binding aspect of conservative Christians today.
Carter went on to say:
Paul established three little churches in Galatia on a supple but profound belief that we are saved by the grace of God through our faith in Jesus Christ. That was his basic message, and Peter and other disciples did the same thing.
