Bigfoot Sex!
By Benjamin Radford
A common myth about Bigfoot—the huge, hairy, unknown beast reported by many but rarely if ever photographed—is that there's only one of them. But, of course, if it's a real animal, the creatures must have a large enough breeding population to survive through generations. There's gotta be a boy Bigfoot and a girl Bigfoot, and after some sort of ritualized courtship (possibly involving gift-giving and/or a handful of warm poo), they do the Horizontal Bigfoot Love Dance and then we have a Bigfoot baby.

DATELINE: New Zealand—Hundreds of thousands of dollars in cameras and equipment were lost by media members after a boat sank at a ceremony designed to send off the country's Olympic rowing team. No one died or was seriously injured in the incident, and the seven journalists and boat pilot—all wearing lifejackets—were plucked from the frigid water of Lake Karapiro. New Zealand Herald photographer Sarah Ivey told the story in her own newspaper: "There was just water gushing in over the front like something out of Titanic and all of a sudden I was up to my knees in it," she reported. "Everyone was screaming and swearing ... but mostly everyone was shouting, Oh hell, I've lost my lens or Oh hell, I've got to get my camera out of the water." A New Zealand spokesperson has promised an investigation into the incident, as the boat employed in transporting the media members should have been capable of holding 12 without fear of capsizing, and stated that divers would attempt to retrieve the missing equipment. Said Ivey, "It would have been the World Press Photo of the Year—all the photographers trying to keep their gear up in the air—but no one could take the picture."

~ Raided: A Mericcup Story: Chapter 03: Dragons
"Mum, can I talk to you?" Asked Merida to the woman in a glittery green dress sitting at the table reading through some letters.
Queen Elinor glanced up regally and said, "Yes, dear. What is it?" but her eyes returned to the letter she was reading.
Merida glanced up at the crown sitting on her mother's head and then tried again. "Queen Elinor. I'd like to speak with my mum, please."
Elinor blinked and glanced at her daughter. Then she nodded, put down the letter, took off her crown and turned to face her daughter. "I'm sorry, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?"
"I was going over the harvest reports like you asked and this year's crop was very good, but there are a lot of people saying it's going to be a cold winter, and are looking to stockpile firewood. How can they know that?"
Elinor paused for a moment, frowning slightly, that seemed more of a report for the queen but she needed to be a mother for her daughter and needed that practice. "There are a number of techniques that seem to indicate what the weather will be like, the thickness of the skins on onions, caterpillar banding and the like. I'm not sure if I trust any one of them but if most of them are indicating cold then it is best to be prepared. I know a man who can tell us more. I'd better change, though."
Elinor stood and they walk up to the royal apartments.
"You have some good wood skills, Merida but farmers have different skills again for trying to understand the weather."
"Yes, mum.' Said Merida as they changed the queen from her glittery queen dress to a simpler and looser blue riding dress.
As Merida finished buttoning her mum into her dress, Elinor let out a breath and Merida could see her mother change more completely into herself. "Mum?"
"Yes, dear?"
"Can you tell me something? When you put me in that princess dress and said I looked perfect, you changed. Like you just did again. I was seeing you, mum, for the first time in years and I was wondering about that."
Elinor smiled slightly as she turned around. "I'm sorry. I told you how I had become my crown and warned you about your crown and your bow. I thought you really were perfect for once and you really were the dream I had for you. But there was some regret for not really being there for you. I wanted to tell you that I loved you and was proud of you, but I chickened out and hid myself behind the queen again." Elinor reached under Merida's red curls and cupped her daughter's cheek.
"I love you too, mum." Said Merida, hugging her mum's hand.
# # #
It was the depths of winter, the fires roared trying to keep the cold at bay, and King Fergus, Queen Elinor, Princess Merida and the boys were all wearing bearskin cloaks to hold off the freezing cold. This winter has been good weather until the Winter Solstice. Then the temperature had plunged, and it was frigid all the time now. It was a bone-gnawing cold.
The cold and snow made travel hard, but a party of heavily cloaked travelers were spotted coming up the road, so they had prepared to greet the travelers.
Lord MacGuffin and a small entourage entered the throne room, several looked to have burns. His son, Kevin MacGuffin, was carrying a large burlap-wrapped bundle.
"Sire, we have a problem. We have been invaded from the West, from over the waters of the Sea of Celts," announced Lord MacGuffin.
"Who is it this time? We had Vikings from the East over the summer." Fergus asked, rubbing his cold hands together. He loved a good fight, but what kind of crazies attacked in the middle of such a cold winter.
"Not who, sire. What." Lord MacGuffin gestured to his son who unrolled the bundle before the thrones. It looked like a four-clawed foot with iridescent scales.
Fergus rose from his throne.
"We've been attacked, by dragons," stated Lord MacGuffin.
# # #
"We haven't killed even one of the dragons, though I am proud to say that my son was able to lop off that leg, even though it flew away." Lord MacGuffin finished, after relating the story about the dragon attack.
"Dragons?" Fergus asked again. He didn't want to believe in magic but it was so obvious from the past few months that there was magic. Magic could make fighting complicated.
"Yes, sire, dragons. They have taken sheep and other livestock. They burn our houses and their hides are tougher then our arrows. Heavy wooden shields are able to deflect their fire and shouting seems to confuse them. We don't know very much about them," said Lord MacGuffin.
"There are several types of dragons. They all breathe fire. Red ones breathe a fire that flows like water. There are blue dragons that can loose spikes at targets. A lumpy brown one eats rocks and spits explosive fire. And a green one with two heads that makes things explode," summarized Lord MacGuffin.
Fergus looked to his wife, it had been a terribly cold winter and they had been wondering how to care for the people, fuel for the fires was getting to be an issue. Now there was a new war on, but not with people.
"Okay, we'll alert the other clans and take men to reinforce your lands. We'll need to send supplies as well. Get some food while we get things ready," decided Fergus.
"Thank you, sire." The clan lord and his men went to the kitchens.
"What are you going to do Fergus?" asked Elinor.
"Go and fight them," said King Fergus simply.
"Fight dragons!?" Merida exclaimed.
"Can't be any worse then Mor'du," said Fergus with a shrug.
"I killed Mor'du and I was a bear and I had to drop a giant rock on him!" Elinor explained with a grim look.
"I know." Fergus said, dejectedly.
"How are you going to fight dragons?" asked Merida.
"I don't know, but I'm the king and fighting is what I do. Young MacGuffin showed they could be hurt. That gives us a weakness to exploit."
"He's one of the strongest men in the kingdom. That would be him, you and that hunk of Dingwall's that is visiting Maudie." pointed out Queen Elinor.
Merida sighed a little at the memory of him.
"No, that is not really enough to fight so many," agreed Fergus.
"I want to come too," said Merida, seriously.
Fergus was about to crush that idea; battle was no place for a lady.
"Yes. We both need to come," stated Elinor.
"What?" Father and daughter said together in surprise.
"We are the two most powerful archers you have. We should be able to penetrate that thick hide of theirs. That is an advantage we cannot afford to do without right now."
Fergus wanted to dispute that, but knew his wife was right. He loved her too much to want to put her at risk, but they needed to stop these new invaders. He nodded.
"Do you want to take Maudie too?" He said sarcastically.
The queen considered, "Of course, someone needs to watch the boys."
Fergus rolled his eyes as he stood and clomped off to send messages.
# # #
Fergus, young Kevin MacGuffin and the hulking Hunk Dingwall were scattered across the snow covered field in front of Castle MacGuffin with a large number of men. They were attempting a zone defense in the darkness; each man had a number of warriors to assist in the fight against the dragons.
They were engaging the dragons and driving them off. Groups of MacGuffin's warriors were doing their best to defend the flocks and homes but the dragons were very large and heavily armored. Unless they attacked in a large group, too often the dragons would just flick the men away and keep attacking.
Elinor and Merida were back-to-back on top of the castle's tallest tower protecting that vital asset. Fergus had placed them there with a squad of men to protect them. They were shooting dragons individually as dragons came into range. They were scoring solid hits. They could hear the hollow thunk of the arrows hitting home on the dragons but all it seemed to do was drive the dragons away from them, which had to be good enough for now.
"Brown dragon from the North," shouted one of the men beside the women.
Merida and Elinor spun as one as they were lit by the rising dawn.
The heavy bulbous dragon was coming in low and fast; it's maw glowing with a prepared flame as it approached the group around Fergus.
Lungs and hearts moving as one the mother and daughter took aim at the monster bearing down on them.
Their bows thwanged in unison.
The dragon reared as it prepared to expel its flame. The twin arrows entered the beast's eyes, caught it in its tiny brain and it came down in an explosive crash.
The sun peaked over the horizon and the remaining dragons fled the field; each with a screaming sheep dangling in their claws.
The warriors gathered around the smoldering carcass of the downed dragon, and their breath condensed before them in the cold air.
"Well done, ladies!" Lord MacGuffin shouted congratulations to the ladies on the tower.
"Yes, they were the only ones to bring down a dragon," said King Fergus, waving to the women.
"At least someone did. It means they can be killed. My men were getting worried about them being unkillable," said Lord MacGuffin.
"We'll need to examine what's left of the body for weaknesses, but let's go inside and get warmed up," said Fergus.
"You know how to show a guest a good time for their first night over. So how often do these attacks come?" asked Fergus.
"They come about every 2-3 weeks. They've taken a lot of sheep," said Lord MacGuffin.
The men helped the wounded back to the castle, as women came searching for their sons and husbands.
# # #
"Well, Fergus, any weak points?" asked Elinor clutching her cloak closely around her against the stiff breeze. The smell of burnt dragon flesh was slightly disturbing.
The warriors had warmed up in the great hall with mulled wine and bowls of hot oatmeal and now were back out in the field before the castle where the lumpy brown dragon had crashed.
"You already figured out the eyes, not that we can see that here." Which was true, the flame had detonated in the mouth of the dragon and the front of it was badly burnt, said Fergus.
"It looks like the base of the wings are vulnerable. They are a major joint like the legs and have to move easily. The hide is thinner there." Pointed out Lord MacGuffin.
They sawed open the hide and looked inside for the vital organs.
"Okay, this is different, here in the center there are a couple of stomachs. At a guess the one with the rocks is the one it flames with. The heart is way back here and the lungs up here," said Fergus.
"Great. I've been shooting it in the wrong places," moaned Merida.
"It's okay, dear, so have I. We didn't know. The hardest part is that we can barely see well enough to shoot. We need more light so we can shoot accurately. We need more torches or something." said Elinor.
Just then the wind came up, chilling the group.
"Come on, let's get inside. It's too cold to stand out here for long," said Fergus.
"What are we going to do with the body?" asked Lord MacGuffin.
"I'm not sure. We saw that big red one lit itself on fire, so I don't think that we can burn it. It's so big, it's going to be hard to move," Said King Fergus as they walked back to the castle, he moved to place his body so his wife and daughter were protected a little from the wind.
# # #
Merida felt herself dozing over her plate after dinner in MacGuffin's Great Hall. Her parents and Lord MacGuffin had gone off to talk somewhere.
She could hear Kevin MacGuffin speaking at the other end of the table with a blacksmith. They were pointing at a piece of paper between them.
Merida had gotten to know him, as he and the other suitors came to her home to try to win her heart over the summer. But none of them had done a good job of it.
Wee Dingwall was clumsy and forward, like an eager puppy. She tried to be kind to him but she often just had to run from him. They tried to talk but Wee just wasn't very smart and the conversation would fall apart pretty quickly. He was good with the boys though. She would quite often see them playing together and would find herself thinking that Wee would make a good younger brother. Then she would sigh, but he would not make a good king or husband.
Young MacIntosh, he was a smooth one. He could cast a spell on her and be so close and she would find herself near to kissing him. She wanted to be so close to him, to let him hold her and more. She would back off, but it was so hard. However, she would see the anger in his eyes when she denied him. That concerned her. He had a certain amount of self control, but it taxed him. He didn't change who he was. He had his fangirls in her castle among the staff and mum told her how he would have his way with them and then ignore them once he was done with them, all while courting her. No, he wasn't a good choice, he would marry her and then his interest in her would disappear and he would chase after some other flipskirt. No, The kingdom needed a king that was focused on the things of the kingdom, and not his own interests.
Kevin was completely different. He was shy and reserved. It felt more like she was doing the courting then him. She would have to draw him out of his shell. He really did not feel confident in himself. He was very strong, not used to his new found strength and so was a little scared of it. He was gentle in a way she wasn't used to, and very courteous. He would see to her needs and wants. He was too shy and uncertain to be a good king, but she could see potential in him.
She had spend enough time with Kevin that if she concentrated she could usually understand what Kevin was saying through his dialect, but right now she was too tired to figure it out.
She felt so heavy and tired after the battle, and it didn't help she had been woken out of a sound sleep after a long, cold journey.
It had taken nearly twice as long to travel to the MacGuffin's lands as it would have in summer. They had had to wait out a storm before they could even leave in the first place, but the weather had been clear, if very cold, for the trip. They had two teams of men leapfrogging the main group building fires and melting snow for water for the people and beasts. They had also had to leave behind several men along the way because of sickness and frostbite.
Then before they could recover, the dragons had attacked the night they arrived. Merida was exhausted. She was thinking about excusing herself to her room to sleep, but didn't have the energy just yet. She munched on a sausage to try and give her a bit more so she could walk to her room.
Merida looked over to Kevin and the blacksmith again. Kevin was getting loud as the blacksmith was shaking his head. "Aye, I can make it, but it'll be too heavy to lift."
Kevin said something her mind translated as "Oh yeah, too heavy for me!?"
With reflexes honed by years of living with her brothers she grabbed her plate and twisted out of the way as Kevin grabbed the table and lifted it over her head. Several tankards spilled and dripped on some of the others on one side, rousing some protests from the other diners.
"Alright, I'll forge it for ye. But don't complain to me if ye can't last the day swinging it around." The blacksmith waved his finger at the son of the clan-lord.
Kevin put the table down as the blacksmith stomped off.
"What was that all about?" Merida asked the large boy. He came over and placed the paper in front of her as she put her plate back on the table.
Kevin said some words but she knew a sword when she saw it. It looked simple enough on paper, a long sword with a leaf head taking up the top third of the blade. Not much of a crosspiece and a basic round pommel but the handle seemed to be quite long at almost a quarter of the length of the overall sword.
"A sword. But what was the big deal the blacksmith was making?"
Kevin spoke enthusiastically and spread his arms wide.
"You're right that is a big sword. To take on the dragons with?" Merida asked.
Kevin nodded his face serious and said something Merida understood as "To protect my people."
"Yes, I am sure you will. But if you will excuse me, I think I better go to my room to rest before I fall over."
Kevin looked concerned, stood and offered his arm.
"Thank you. I appreciate that." Merida smiled as she put her arm through his, as he gently guided her back to her room.
# # #
"Your Majesty, wake up!" said the servant.
"Whazzit!" groaned Fergus. He was feeling old, stiff all over from fighting those dragons. They had gone to bed early exhausted from the battle. He glanced at the window and groaned, it was still dark outside.
"Lord MacGuffin asked me to wake you. There is something flying over the castle and he knew you would want to know," the servant told to the King.
"Grand, tell him I'll be right there." Fergus told the servant, who ran off.
"Okay, I can do this," Fergus said as he rolled out of bed and reached for his peg leg.
"I'll wake up Merida," said Elinor, also getting out of bed.
"Oh, leave her be, woman. She needs her rest," Fergus said as he fitted his leg on.
"We all do, but if it's another dragon I will need her to help take it down," said Elinor picking up her bow.
"Do you think you can bring it down?"
"Aye, but only one or two shots tonight," Elinor said, slowly and carefully stretching her arm trying to warm it up.
# # #
King Fergus and his family, Lord MacGuffin and his son crept quietly onto the roof of the tallest tower. There was the shadow of something flying above them that blacked out the stars in the sky. Then it landed near the body of the brown dragon; a dark mass on the white snow.
Everyone was surprised to see what looked like a rider dismount and walk to the body. Was this some kind of Dragon-lord; someone who controlled the dragons and sent them after the MacGuffins?
Fergus pointed at the women's bows and then the dragon. Merida and Elinor fitted arrows to their bows.
The man remounted the low-slung dragon and they flew toward the castle. The women looked to the king, who nodded. Mother and daughter rose beside the battlements, and aimed for the center of the black shadow. It was too dark for anything else.
As one, the two women set themselves, and loosed, but a badly tied fletching on Merida's arrow made a loud buzzing sound in the darkness. The dragon banked and twisted but there was the solid sound of the arrows striking home.
The dragon screeched in pain and wobbled into the forest beyond the castle.
"Quickly, men! Torches and weapons!" shouted Lord MacGuffin. Doors crashed open as warriors streamed out of the hold of the castle and out the gates. They ran into the forest searching for the downed dragon.
# # #
Merida followed her Mum and Da into the night wrapped forest; she had an arrow out for her bow, but she was slipping as they dashed through the snow. Warriors held up torches searching for the dragon and rider they had taken down.
A warrior near the end of the line called and waved his torch, they followed the line of broken trees to a large black lump at the base of a snow, and moss covered boulder. The smaller figure was moving near the wing of the dragon.
"It's going to be okay, buddy," Merida heard a muffled voice.
As the warriors with their swords and shields surrounded the two figures, the smaller black figured turned.
Merida yanked the arrow to her cheek. She could hear her mum's bow creak as it too was fully drawn. The creature looked like a troll from the old stories, in the flickering torchlight. It had dark leathery skin, a wide gaping mouth and dark hooded eyes. It's hands only had a thumb and one large finger that was holding a wound on it's arm.
"What are you?" rumbled Da, his sword leveled at the smaller creature.
Merida almost loosed her arrow as the creature grabbed its mouth and flipped its head back, but it only revealed a teenager with a horned helmet. "I'm a Viking. My name is Hiccup and I won't hurt you."
Fergus put his hands out to lower the bows of Elinor and Merida who were on each side of him.
"Why have you been attacking us?" growled Fergus.
"I haven't. I was taking a survey of the new dragon nests and found one that had gone missing. I've been searching for them for some time." said Hiccup.
"What are the meaning of these attacks?" asked Fergus.
"I have not been attacking you. I've been tracing changes in dragon migrations. The cold has been forcing dragons away from their normal feeding grounds. This winter has been much harsher then normal, and they are going further afield to find food," said the boy, Hiccup.
"How did you know that they had been here?" asked Fergus.
"I didn't know. Toothless saw that Gronkle carcass in the field, back there," Hiccup gestured.
"Why were you looking?" asked Elinor.
"There are a number of dragon nests we have found, but there are more dragons then we have resources to deal with all at once. We're training them as fast as we can."
"Training them?" Fergus asked aggressively, stepping forward.
"To not attack humans," explained Hiccup quickly, putting his mittened hands out. He could see that the leader was thinking about using them for war. "They aren't really all that dangerous. They just want food and to make more dragons, just like everyone else. I was keeping an eye on some nests and found one that had disappeared. I've been searching for weeks, looking for the nest or a new feeding ground."
"Well, you've found their new feeding ground, at least," rumbled Lord MacGuffin sarcastically.
"Well, that's good, though I am sorry they are feeding off your people. I'm also sorry for scaring you. It looked dark." Hiccup responded.
"I'm sorry for injuring you and your dragon. It seems like you are trying to do good," said the brunette woman.
"I am trying. They fed off my people for three hundred years and it isn't something we would wish on our worst enemies," said Hiccup.
"You can help stop these attacks?" Fergus asked incredulous.
"I should be able to," said the teen.
Merida looked to her parents. She thought the teen seemed quite sincere. She could see her Da gazing at the boy, weighing him. Da looked at Mum, who nodded.
"I'm King Fergus, this is Queen Elinor and our daughter Merida. Over there is Lord MacGuffin, whose lands these are. Let's get inside where we can care for your injuries."
"Thank you." The teen turned to his dragon and helped it limp forward, "It's going to be okay, Toothless."
Raided: 3 Dragons by BalunStormhandsWatch

Aha! So that's how Hiccup enters the story. Interesting... from the way you opened this... I was... expecting something else.
You've managed to put a lot of plot threads up in the air... I'm curious to see what you do with them all.
I'm curious what were you expecting?
Given the establishment of the raiders at the introduction, I was more expecting Merida to be captured, taken to 'viking land' and having her relationship with Hiccup begin that way either as Hiccup 'rescuing' her (Because we all know Merida doesn't need rescuing) or as some sort of reluctant bride gift thing... I don't know more of a typical classical swashbuckling adventure. I just wasn't expecting Hiccup to end up in her world. I was expecting Merida to end up in his.
The way you ended up doing it is very good. I feel like it offers many more opportunities for politics, subterfuge and personal interaction rather than just straight action.
The way you ended up doing it is very good. I feel like it offers many more opportunities for politics, subterfuge and personal interaction rather than just straight action.
Given how much a fighter Merida is, a slaver would probably just throw her overboard after a few days as too much hassle to deal with. I'd have also have to create an excuse for her to be away from home and near the coast.
If Merida was kidnapped I would expect Fergus to freak out so bad he might go to the witch and get turned into a bear to avenge his daughter on the Vikings indefinitely. He'd make Mor'du look like a pussycat. Worse Elinor might join him. It might take a while but they would kill all the Vikings.
While there is obviously evidence that there have been outside women brought to Berk, I'll be talking more about that later in the story, from the wide shots none of them have been recent. It also doesn't look like traders come to Berk either, but the dragon raids can account for that.
Actually with what we know about Hiccup and Merida, Hiccup makes the better prisoner. He is better able to handle it then Merida is. Merida just gets herself killed too easily when I think about it.
I like the story, but I feel that they warm up to Hiccup too easily. Enemy Viking riding a dragon, surrounded and saying that dragons aren't dangerous? I don't doubt that the royals are nice, but methinks they may consider Hiccup as a hostage or something.
Too nice?
They just shot him out of the sky.
He's surrounded by warriors and they almost shot him again.
They know they can take him but they are willing to patch him up and talk to him. He does come off as sincere.
Man, what you think being nasty to someone is like?
They just shot him out of the sky.
He's surrounded by warriors and they almost shot him again.

Man, what you think being nasty to someone is like?
Oh, misread that detail.
To answer your question, not listening to him and willing to patch him up. Usually people don't listen to Hiccup, and it took a while for his own dad to come round. Yet the Scots listened to him.

Who says they believe him? but to leave him out there, wounded, in the cold would be to kill him and that is a little cold-blooded [pun intended] even for Fergus.
One thing you have to give Hiccup is sincerity.
One thing you have to give Hiccup is sincerity.
True, Hiccup is sincere, and good for him that he's tiny. I guess after they dress his wounds they can question him further. I must have read too fast to miss those subtle nuances.
Oh, geez Fergus... :/
Well, I get that dragons, perhaps a few, can be dangerous, but being rough on Hiccup? Aaaaw...

Castleford Tigers coach Daryl Powell signs new deal
Castleford Tigers head coach Daryl Powell has signed a new long-term deal at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle, which will keep him at the club until the end of the 2019 season.
Powell has masterminded an unbelievable 2014 for the Tigers so far, taking them to the top four in Super League – as well as the semi-finals of the cup. Only Widnes Vikings stand between Powell leading the Tigers out at Wembley, and the club have moved quickly to tie down their man.
Tipped to be amongst the relegation candidates for 2014, Powell has overseen a remarkable transformation since arriving from Featherstone, with the club boasting three England internationals in Michael Shenton, Craig Huby and Daryl Clark.
Speaking of the deal, Powell said: "I'm really pleased that I've got my future sorted; obviously it's an important contract for me, it's my first job back in Super League and I've been delighted with how it's gone so far.
"The term of the contract will allow me and the coaching staff that we have in place at the moment to really build something at the club that will hopefully be really special.
"You want some stability from a playing perspective, but for the people that are leading the coaching, if they've got some stability in terms of the depth of the contract then it gives players confidence that everybody is in it for the long haul and it's not just a short-term proposition.
"I want to be successful and if players see that the coach believes in the club and is prepared to put his money where his mouth is and sign a long-term contract, then it will give them confidence that they too are going to be successful in the future.
"It's a dream job for me to coach the team that I believed in as a young man. It means an immense amount to me to be able to lead it from a playing perspective and give the supporters hopefully something special and a club that's got a feel about it that they feel a part of.
"I'm really looking forward to growing and developing the club, and obviously growing and consistently getting better myself, which along with the players, we should be striving to every day."

GPhone to Utilize TV White Spaces?
If there were any doubters as to Google's diabolical plan to take over the mobile industry with a VoIP only Google branded phone, I bring your attention to the following article…
eWeek.com – FCC Moves Forward on White Spaces
Oh yeah, you read it right. Device utilization of all that juicy white space is about to hit the airwaves (pun intended). I, as well as the rest of the tech world, I'm sure, can't help but speculate that Google will utilize these white spaces in order to bring us the greatest Android phone of all time. After all, this IS Google's dream.
Anyone still doubting the coming of a GPhone?

A cellular network transmitting at those white space frequencies needs to be built first. A more likely network would be Sprint/Clearwire. Google is a large investor in Clearwire ($500mil). Clearwire is building out the nation's first 4G network. This network currently covers 120 million people providing wireless broadband speeds up to 10 Mbps.
i'am not very confident in the reliability of the whole white space thing…one of the blogs on this said that the phone would need data and a gps fix to make this work….i hope they have this worked out instead of in some sort of perpetual beta state because people won't use this thing if the coverage isn't there no matter how free it is
"people won't use this thing if the coverage isn't there"
completely agree, i think if they're gonna pull this off they need to sell it as a VOIP phone that works over the existing carriers' data networks and then be prepared to fight numerous legal battles to force the some of the carriers to allow the phone on their networks
Kevin G
That. Is. Sweet.
Yes, I still doubt the coming of a Gphone.
I as well doubt the coming of a Gphone. So Google has some interest in these white spaces, how do we know that they are going to make a device to utilize it? Couldn't it just be for a version of Android?
I put two and two together this morning @ post 19.
Read the link that Jeff above posted and doubt the GPhone no more
Here is the link http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/clearwire-lau…
This sounds like a pipe dream.

They are in no way ready to start using the new whitespace rules. For those who don't know, the "white space" means TV channels that are defined, in parts of the 54-699MHz range, but are not occupied in your local area.
Yes, your device has to be location-aware. It has to know about assigned television channels, and not use those when in their coverage area. It also has to hit a server fairly regularly, to access new data about changes. After all, there's NOTHING more important than folks not having the slightest bit of interference with their OTA television. Well, aside from the fact ATSC chose 8VSB modulation, so it's hard to pull in anyway (but hey, 8VSB interferes much less with NTSC signals than COFDM… oh, wait, there are NO MORE NTSC signals, and yet, we're still stuck with 8VSB…). It also has to broadcast some kind of easily decoded beacon, identifying what it is, though that part of the rule is a little vague.
The signal requirements, today at least, are really difficult to meet. While each NTSC channel slot offers 6MHz of bandwith, in practice you'd need a much narrower signal, because the rules for interference are very strict. And when you're all done, you get to use what are essentially Wifi power levels, nothing more. There's some belief a new radio standard will be needed for to really use whitespace spectrum effectively. Since I work on digital radio, I played around with modified Wifi at 5MHz to see how close it could come… not very. Maybe LTE on a narrow band, but you'd still have to work in the location awareness and beacon and all. And yeah, you have to be location aware, pretty accurately, even indoors.
This doesn't even matter, anyway, since there are no whitespace radios creating a nation-wide network for a "G-Phone" to be rolled out into. Google's been a big investor in Clear (WiMax at 2500MHz… the same thing Sprint calls "our 4G network", also the same wireless network Comcast is talking about… it's operative in at least five cities now, though hardly covering them, at least if the performance in Philadelphia is any indication), so they have the basis for some kind of network being available. But it would of very limited appeal, at least until they have real coverage.
And that's only IF they pushed it as a replacement for a cellphone. If they're making an Android-based PDA, selling a different model… WiFi and WiMax where available, cheap all you can networking, and, oh-by-the-way, it does VoIP, too, maybe they'd have something.
Though I have my doubts. Maybe it's just how stupid that "artist's concept Google Phone" looks… tiny screen, all that wasted space… and it's running WinCE. Ouch!
So far nothing I've seen leads me to believe that talk of a Google phone is based on anything but unfounded rumors. Maybe I'm wrong, but I haven't seen anything besides a lot of chatter and anonymous sources. Granted, it's more than the usual amount of chatter, but I still remain skeptical, especially since we've heard these rumors before.

We love boots…tall ones, short ones, heeled, flat, ankle booties…all of them. But when it comes to closet space, that feeling is not mutual. Especially when it comes to tall boots. Here's one idea on how to fix that…
To keep tall boots from flopping over and losing their shape, and from eating up your floor space, use this simple DIY hack: hang them up! Use pants hangers to hang boots from the top. Easy. If your hangers do not have rubber grips, just make sure to add pieces of felt to the clips to protect the leather.

Love the idea of bringinb my family there. Can anyone recommend hotel accommodations.
Can you give the number of people and number of beds or rooms needed, tentative dates as prices vary at different times of year, and approx budget either total or by night.
For families I recommend The Casa Marina or The Reach if you want a resort, or Island City House for a kid friendly B&B.
If you are going to be there for a week, look into renting a condo or house.
We have stayed at Casa Marina in the past & there were many families there.
When my son was younger we stayed at the Reach Resort and loved it.

Justin Bieber is reportedly to blame for Rita Ora and Calvin Harris' split.
The 20-year-old popstar triggered the end of the couple's relationship after he became "affectionate" with the 23-year-old singer in a recording studio a few months ago.
A source told TMZ.com: "Word got back to Calvin, Justin and Rita got touchy feely with each other while they were in the recording studio together over the last few months.
"Calvin heard they were very affectionate -- she would sit on his lap [and] he would rub her back."
The 'RIP' hitmaker moved in with Calvin, who produced her new track 'I Will Never Let You Down', in Los Angeles, but he's now had her belongings removed from his home.
The source explained: "He's already had her things removed from his LA house ... he [also] produced a few songs for her, but now he won't allow their release."
However, Calvin, 30, took to his Twitter account last night (06.06.14) to announce that he and Rita, whom he begun dating in May 2013, had separated "some time ago", but he wishes her "all the best" in the future.
He tweeted: "To address speculation - myself and Rita ended our relationship some time ago. She is a beautiful, talented woman & I wish her all the best. (sic)."
Meanwhile, Calvin appears to be surrounding himself with his friends following the split as he was spotted dining with a group of pals - including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley - in West Hollywood on Thursday night (06.05.14).

Here's your wakeup call -- a combination of newsworthy and/or interesting tidbits -- for Tuesday, July 22:
Cliff Lee's back, and everyone figures the Yankees want him. Badly. (Yahoo! Sports)
Trouble is, he didn't exactly dazzle anyone -- 5 2/3 innings, 12 hits, 6 runs -- in his return start against the Giants last night. Even worse, as Jim Salisbury so delicately wrote in his game story, Lee "delivered more gas during his postgame interview than he did on the mound." Worse still, someone got it on tape and it's all the rage in places where passing-gas jokes qualify as high humor. (CSN Philly)
Hyun-Jin Ryu wins his 11th game, making the Dodgers the first team to have three 11-game winners this year, in L.A.'s 5-2 victory over Pittsburgh. (AP)
And the rich get richer, as old friend Josh Beckett -- he of the 2.26 ERA -- returns to the Dodgers tonight. (NBC's Hardball Talk)
Looks like the Giants are going to sign Dan Uggla. The question is: Why? (CSN Bay Area)
Speaking of the Giants, they've finally come to their senses regarding Matt Cain, who's headed to the DL after pitching all season -- and not very well, by Matt Cain standards -- with a "cranky" elbow. (Hardball Talk)
Since the Mariners have designs on battling the A's for the A.L. West title, would they really trade Nick Franklin to Oakland? (Hardball Talk)
Maybe they can arrange a straight Franklin-for-Tommy Milone swap, since Milone has apparently asked the A's to trade him. (CSN Bay Area)
Michael Pineda appears ready -- at last -- to hit the rehab trail. (Hardball Talk)
Not Ubaldo Jiminez, though. (Hardball Talk)
The Phillies start making changes: Tony Gwynn Jr. is designated for assignment. (CSN Philly)
Like college sports the way they are? Too bad, says Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, because he predicts changes -- big changes -- are coming. (AP)
Bowlsby introduced some change of his own when he announced his league is making Catherine "Cat" Conti its first female referee. (AP)
Jameis Winston knows that, at some point, he's going to have to choose between football and baseball. But which way will he go? (Yahoo! Sports)
Baylor coach Art Briles tells Jimbo Fisher -- who thinks every conference should play a championship game -- to mind his own business. (AP)
Gavin Stansbury, one of Texas A&M's starting defensive linemen, has left the team to focus on what coach Kevin Sumlin calls "personal issues." (AP)
LSU freshman Trey Lealaimatafao will probably miss the season because of an arm injury suffered when, upset because of a disagreement with his girlfriend, he punched a window in the Tigers' weight room. (NBC's College Football Talk)
Miami grad and employee Jennifer Urs had no one to accompany her down the aisle at her wedding because her father passed away. So she made the trip on the arm of the Hurricanes mascot. (Yahoo! Sports)
Issac Kolstad, the former Minnesota State-Mankato linebacker who suffered severe head and brain injuries when he was allegedly assaulted by then-Rutgers quarterback Phillip Nelson a few months ago, is making a remarkable recovery. (College Football Talk)
Tiger was a winner at the British Open because he sank a crucial putt on Friday that enabled him to make the cut? Well, I guess . . . (Yahoo! Sports)
The newest member of the Wild, Thomas Vanek, is being connected to a gambling investigation in Rochester, N.Y. But Vanek, who formerly played in nearby Buffalo, says he is "not the subject of any investigation or prosecution." (NBC's Pro Hockey Talk)
It's been a bad year for celebrity sports couples: A few months after Rory McIlroy broke it off with Caroline Wozniacki, Russian tennis player Maria Kirilenko cancels her planned wedding to the Capitals' Alex Ovechkin. Still, she says she "respectfully [wishes] him further sporting success," so there's that. (AP)
New Penguins coach Mike Johnston is so eager to meet with his players that he's flying to Russia to visit Evgeni Malkin. (Pro Hockey Talk)
Deal off Andrew Wiggins for Kevin Love? That's a trade Coach K would make in a second. (NBC's Pro Basketball Talk)
Former Laker star Michael Cooper, now the coach of the WNBA's Atlanta Dream, has been diagnosed with early stage tongue cancer and will take a two-week leave of absence from the team. He's expected to make a full recovery. (AP)
The NBA is putting gold patches on the uniforms of all the teams that have won championships in the past, with the number of titles on the collar of each jersey. But while franchises like the Hawks and Kings -- who haven't won in their present location, but did win when they were located elsewhere -- are gladly participating, the Thunder is refusing . . . even though the team was NBA champ in Seattle in 1979. (Yahoo! Sports)
Choose Cleveland over Miami?!? Who would do that? asks an incredulous Mario Chalmers. (Pro Basketball Talk)
LeBron James, that's who. In an unrelated note, he's one proud father watching his son participate in the AAU Fourth Grade Division I national championship tournament. (Yahoo! Sports)
And, unlike Chalmers, Dwyane Wade is fine with James leaving . . . if you're to believe James' advisor, who claims the two are "friends for life" and speak "almost daily." (Pro Basketball Talk)
Doc Rivers wants Sam Cassell, who helped him win a championship as a player with the Celtics in 2008, on his Clippers coaching staff so badly that he's willing to make a trade with Washington, where Cassell is currently an assistant. (Pro Basketball Talk)
Life after basketball? The very thought scares Kobe Bryant. (Pro Basketball Talk)
Don't worry, Kobe. There's always celebrity softball. (Pro Basketball Talk)
Larry Bird cries what Pro Basketball Talk's Dan Feldman believes are crocodile tears over the loss of Lance Stephenson. (Pro Basketball Talk)
Bird must be delighted to hear Paul George's theory that the Pacers collapsed down the stretch because they lost their hunger. (Pro Basketball Talk)
Stan Van Gundy tells Josh Smith that, unless something unexpected pops up, he'll at least start the season with the Pistons. (Pro Basketball Talk)
Tony Dungy says that if he were still a coach he wouldn't have drafted Michael Sam, because he "wouldn't want to deal with" the "things [that] will happen" with football's first openly gay player. Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith is troubled that Dungy -- the first African-American coach to win a Super Bowl -- would take that position, because "[if] everyone refused to hire minorities because it could cause a distraction, no minority group would ever make any progress . . . What if [Steelers coach Chuck] Noll had declined to hire Dungy (as an assistant in 1981) because he worried that some of the white assistant coaches would have a problem with a black colleague?" (NBC's Pro Football Talk)
Taking it further, Yahoo!'s Dan Wetzel thinks Dungy's assessment shows "a stunning lack of courage." And while he understands Dungy's conservative Christian views may be behind what he's saying, Wetzel points out Dungy "drafted, hired, signed, coached, championed and personally mentored scores of players and coaches who routinely engaged in Biblical definitions of sin, let alone behavior that goes against modern societal standards" . . . especially Michael Vick, who went to jail for running a dog-fighting operation. (Yahoo! Sports)
The Legion of Boom was guilty of illegal contact and holding on virtually every play in 2013, figuring that referees wouldn't call it every time and, percentage-wise, they'd come out ahead. Well, they might want to rethink that strategy this year. (Pro Football Talk)
To the surprise of no one who's been paying attention, Marcell Dareus is entering a substance-abuse program. (AP)
Hey, if Donald Sterling's Clippers can sell for more than a billion, why not the Bills? (Pro Football Talk)
Yes, Chris Snee retired. But no, the Giants say they're not looking for offensive line help. (Pro Football Talk)
Johnny Football's jersey is the top seller in the NFL's online shop. No, really. (Pro Football Talk)
Brett Favre says talk that he's doesn't want to return to Green Bay to have his jersey retired because he's afraid he'd be booed is ridiculous. (Pro Football Talk)
Like coach, like player. (Pro Football Talk)
I'm sure Zack Mettenberger figured he was through with crazy Alabama fans once he left LSU and joined the Titans, but . . . (Pro Football Talk)
Six members of the Ukrainian champion Shakhtar team -- which is based in Donetsk, currently a battleground between pro-Russian separatist rebels and Ukrainian forces -- refuse to return to the region because of the danger. (NBC's Pro Soccer Talk)
Sporting Kansas City declares there's "no question that we're the greatest [organization] in MLS," if they do say so themselves. (Pro Soccer Talk)

Both, lovely captures!
Wonderful. Do you use a macro converter?
No, nothing but my camera!
Thanks for the compliment and the !
Thanks for the compliment and the !
It is absolutely fascinating when you have just a digital camera. I cannot believe. What is its minimal focus distance when you use, for example, 100 mm focal length EQ 25mm? I suppose it is a very short distance, right? I can use 100mm focal length from one meter. It is very bad. I suppose you can use it from less than 50 cm, right?
Sorry but I can't answer this question, I've got a Bridge-Camera which shows just aperture and shutter speed, but not focal length. I just know that can use focal lenght of 25mm from 1 cm and focal lenght of 600mm from 1 m, so you might be right. For macros and close-ups I've got a close-up lens + adapter and I can work from a distance of about 50 cm, but I didn't use it for this picture.
Very Pretty!

It will go down as an inconsquential play because the Phillies won 2-0 and Cole Hamels did not allow any sort of adversity affect him Wednesday.
But at the time, it felt like Michael Martinez's inability to score on a wild pitch in the fifth inning could be crucial. It was a scoreless tie at that point, and the way the Phillies have scored runs, a missed opportunity as great as this one had to hurt somehow.
The situation: Martinez hit a two-out triple down the right field line and bellyflopped into third base for just his second extra-base hit of the season. He was starting for Chase Utley at second and it was only his 10th start of the season.
Hamels followed the triple with an impressive six-pitch walk. The first pitch Hiroki Kuroda threw Shane Victorino was a sinker that skipped past catcher Rod Barajas and to the backstop.

During his 1988 trials, it was also discovered that he had been guilty of plagiarizing in law school. He bowed out of the 1988 race saying, "There'll be other presidential campaigns, and I'll be there." Who said this originally I have not been able to discover -- possibly it is a line from Shakespeare. The senator went on to say that politics is a tough business and, by gum, he is a tough guy. He is also a liar and plagiarist. He told his audience on "Face the Nation" that one of the issues he will stress as he tests the waters for his campaign is that the president has not been honest with the American people about Iraq. Imagine -- Sen. Biden is going to make President Bush's honesty an issue.
Actually many in the Democratic Party have been having a problem with honesty. Both Clintons have been caught in lies; and Bill, who signed an affidavit admitting to lying during the Lewinsky affair, is now lying about the affidavit. Jean-Francois Kerry was caught repeatedly lying during his pursuit of the presidency, most spectacularly about his military record. Al Gore's lies, starting with his claims about the Internet, were wonderfully amusing during Campaign 2000. Sen. Edward Kennedy is still lying about Chappaquiddick, and I could go on. One of my favorite Democratic liars is Bill Clinton's comparatively unknown secretary of labor, Robert Reich. In his memoir recalling his service to the country, he made up conversations and appearances before Congress. His lies were fully exposed, but he continues to appear on television and in public forums as a sage. Possibly Reich could be Sen. Biden's running mate.

Small Business Administration Recognizes Bank of Utah as a Top Lender for Small Business Loans
Ogden, Utah, February 13, 2012
Bank of Utah, one of Utah's few remaining locally-owned and operated community banks, was recognized by the U.S. Small Business Administration Utah District Office (SBA) for outstanding performance for its volume of SBA 504 loans in 2011.
"Each year the SBA recognizes local lending institutions for their use and support of SBA loans in the state," said Stan Nakano, SBA district director. "Bank of Utah was very active in 2011 by providing guidance to businesses on getting financing via a traditional bank loan or through an SBA government-backed loan.
"Community banks play a huge role in financing small businesses in Utah and across the country," added Nakano. "The U.S. Small Business Administration Utah District Office reported that Utah's financial community processed 1561 SBA loans, totaling $435.8 million. Bank of Utah alone financed $22 million in 2011, which is a 64 percent increase since 2010.
SBA's mainstay, the 7 (a) lending program, backs loans up to $2 million and can be used for working capital, expansion , equipment and for purchasing real estate. The SBA 504 program is designed to help small businesses purchase real estate or large equipment.
"We are very proud to be recognized by the SBA for our business lending activity in the state," said Douglas L. DeFries, Bank of Utah president. "The people at the SBA have been terrific partners in providing financing for many Utah businesses this past year."
