Hi Pat,
Thanks for the suggestion. I live in Washington State. If my clover does not take hold this time I may try the Vinca. I believe it grows here too. I just love the soft billowy look of the clover. I have it everywhere but it is a bit too shaded by Princess I guess.
Wishing you, Tippy and Fayeroe all the best of beautiful spring weather!

Thank you for the song lyrics. I love that song, it is so true every single word. I love yout memorial to both Fayeroe & Tippy. They seem like such old souls who shared such beautiful times with you. I love Tippys main page song. The pictures you take are absolutely beautiful, a true artist. Thanks for stopping by.

How is it that I never saw your wings
when you were here with me?
When you closed your eyes and soared
to the Heavens I could hear the
faint flutter of you wings as you left.
Your body no longer on this side
your spirit here eternally I see your halo shine.
I close my eyes and see the multicolored wings
surround me in my saddest moments and my happiest times.

Pat, Thanks for letting me know, i was always curious of where she got her name, but kept forgetting to ask. That was pretty clever of you to combine those 2 names as it ended up making such a pretty new name. I think the reason i always notice the unique names is because of my name. My Dad was Glen. I was firstborn so my mom added ise to the glen. And there you have it. ha......of course it wasn't very stylish 55 yrs ago, but now the unique names are always in......tty......glenise

I can't thank you enough, for those chosen words you sent to me today. Very thoughtful lyrics, and I've always loved that song, but now it will hold special memories for me even more so. Thank you for delivering this message, please tell Fayeroe, to tell Jake that we love him to, and if I could somehow send an angel to keep watch over him (as he does over us), that would be great.

We were so very close, we two
but I had to let you go
I hope that you can understand
it was because I loved you so.
No more pain, no aching limbs
no earthly ties that bind
No dimming eyes, no sleepless nights
you've left them all behind
I lost you many months ago,
and gained a broken heart
Yet I feel you close to me
although we are apart
Sometimes when I'm all alone,
I feel you by my side,
As if to try and comfort me,
through all the nights I've cried
I thought I saw you here today,
out the corner of my eye,
Felt soft fur against my skin,
heard the faintest sigh.
So wait for me at Rainbow Bridge
Until we meet once more
then we will walk together again
through Heaven's open door...

Pat, what a great picture of Fayeroe!!!! The similarities between her and Saada are really noticeable in this picture, their coloring is so much alike! I love how she is seated waiting for you, that is so sweet.
Want to wish you a Happy St. Patrick's Day too!!

'Tis like a morn in spring.

You can hear the angels sing.

love that picture she is just lovely.......
Have you ever wondered what makes the wind blow?
Could it be our loved ones blowing us a kiss?
Have you ever wondered what makes the stars shine?
Is it our loved ones keeping watch over us while we sleep?
Have you ever wondered what makes the skies cry?
Could it be our loved ones missing us?
Have you ever wondered what makes the sun shine?
Is it our loved ones giving us a warm hug?
Have you ever wondered what makes the ocean waves come pounding to shore?
Could it be our loved ones wanting to touch us once more?
There are so many of natures wonders and do we really know why?
Is there a higher power making sure we always remember the loved one we've lost and shall never forget.

Fayedy, Fayedy, the work girl! I'll never forget you going to work with me in Wichita Falls. We had to leave at 6 a.m. in order to have the gallery open and ready for customers at 9 a.m. How you loved your job.
Fayeroe was on the front page of the Wichita Falls paper in a feature of "taking your dog to work". She always wore a different bandana and quietly greeted every customer who came in the door. Her little stubby tail would be wiggling her butt. What a girl! Love, Mom

03-12-2010 7:18 PM -- By: , From:
Sitting here remembering,
The smile upon your face
And how it made the world light up
You were full of heavenly grace.
No longer can I see your face
For you are with God above
But your loving smile will always be
Tucked in my heart with love.
I know you wouldn't want to see
Me crying the way I do,
But losing you was a part of me
And days, I can't make it through.
Do you hear me crying?
It's because some days I'm down
I look around for you,
But you're nowhere to be found.
Only pictures now remain of you;
Special songs that meant so much
So if you hear me crying,
It's because I can't feel your touch.
Sometimes I think I see you,
On a crowded street or mall.
I then run up and call your name,
But it wasn't you at all.
My heart still aches in sadness
And tears, oh how they flow!
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
So, if you hear me crying,
It's something I can't control
Just understand my darling,
When I'm again with you, I'll be whole.

Dearest Fayedy, I'm missing you very much these days. It is time to plant your blanket garden and I just can't seem to get started on it. I guess I'm in denial about you being gone. I know that Moma and Daddy love being with you. They would have really enjoyed meeting you here but since they didn't...I know that they are happy that you are with them. I'll meet you. Mom
I Will Meet You in the Morning
I will meet you in the morning on the bright riverside,
When all sorrows have drifted away.
I'll be standing at the portal with the gates open wide
At the close of life's long, dreary day.
I'll meet you in the morning with a "How do you do?"
And we'll sit down by the river, and with rapture, old acquaintance renew.
You'll know me in the morning by the smile that I wear.
When I meet you in the morning in that city that is built foursquare.
I will meet you in the morning in the sweet by and by,
And exchange the old cross for a crown.
There will be no disappointments and no body shall die
In that land where life's sun goeth down.
I will meet you in the morning at the end of the way
On the streets of that city of gold,
Where we all can be together and be happy for aye
As the years of eternity roll.

Oregon Banks, Credit Unions Draw Battle Lines
In the state of Oregon, the battle lines between banks and credit unions have been drawn.
The Northwest Credit Union Association sounded the alarm to its member credit unions earlier this month about what it called three proposed "anti-credit union" bills that aim to tax many credit unions and implement new regulations. According to NWCUA, the Oregon Bankers Association introduced these bills into the state's legislature.

Muntazer Al Zaidi, the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoe at former US President George W. Bush, faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted of assault.
February 9, 2009 10:17 by Dana El Baltaji
Muntazer Al Zaidi, the Iraqi TV journalist who threw his shoes at former US President George W. Bush at a press conference in Bagdad in December 2008 is scheduled to face trial on February 19 for assault. His defense lawyers appealed to have the charges against him reduced from assaulting Bush to insulting him, but the appeal was rejected, reports UK daily The Independent.
"The Iraqi appeals court has rejected the appeal submitted by Muntader Al Zaidi's defense lawyer to change the charges, and decided to set February 19 as the date for trial," said Iraqi judiciary council spokesman Abdul-Sattar Al Birqdar.
Al Birqdar said that the appeals court said the matter is for the criminal court to decide.
On December 30, Reuters reported that Al Zaidi's trial had been postponed pending the appeal. His lawyer, Dhiaa Al Saadi, argued that his client's actions were not life-threatening:
"Have you ever heard of anyone being killed by a shoe?" Al Saadi said at the time. "In Europe, they throw eggs and rotten tomatoes to insult. In Iraq, throwing a shoe is a symbol of disrespect."
The lesser charge of insulting Bush would have carried a maximum sentence of two years.
Al Zaidi was hailed as an Arab hero after he hurled his shoes at the former president, and called him a "dog." Al Zaidi was offered $20 million for the shoes by a Saudi man; another man offered his 20-year-old daughter's hand in marriage to the journalist.
Al Zaidi has been in police custody since the incident took place on December 14, 2008. His family has expressed concerned that the journalist has suffered numerous beatings since the incident.

He should receive an extra year for missing Bush. What an opportunity, he was so close and still missed!
thats hilarious Tezza – but this judgement is just unbelievably unfair for an iraqi judge to dish out. he must have been be well tipped off by the US gov.

Affectionately called "the paparazzi" by my friends, I love to document as much of my life and other's lives as possible to be able to look back through old photos and recall the amazing memories we experienced. Being a photographer allows me to tell the untold story of the event, to notice the unspoken details, and to document important and even historic moments in time. I capture the seconds in between the minutes ticking on the clock – the "kairos time". I see the way the groom silently admires his bride from afar and his eyes light up, how attendees inspect products at the tradeshow, how humbled the employee feels onstage for the award, how a child's smile grows, how a tear makes its path down a cheek, how guests carefully select food on tray passed hors d'oeuvres. I see what we aren't consciously aware of. Those are the emotions I want to convey in my visual art.
Photos are the only lasting item long after the food has been eaten, the cake has been savored, the guests have left, and the bar has closed. Creating a photograph to preserve memories of events in your personal and public world are my life's calling. It would be my pleasure to create tangible memories for you, your business, your employer, and your extended friends and family.
My work has been published in San Diego Union Tribune, Pacific San Diego magazine, Riviera Luxury magazine, San Diego Reader, San Diego City Beat, 944 Magazine, Gloss Magazine, Dining Out magazine, SDPix magazine, Rage Magazine, Yahoo.com, Frontiers Magazine, Gay San Diego newspaper, WHERE San Diego / LA / Orange County magazine, LGBT Weekly, Gay.com Travel section, Noize, various nightclub and event flyers, and local company websites and print advertising.

BFTE GALVATRON, after DOTM... by kishiakuWatch
©2011-2016 kishiaku
I wanted him massive and dark...
This actually looked better than what we got in AOE. I mean, why didn't Galvatron have those horns and wasn't purple too!? I also like how this Galvatron right here is a Quadruple-Changer! That's just cool!
*sighs* if only they gave him this design in age of extinction
Perfect! Way better that the other fan bayformer galvatrons I've seen!
It's cool but not that cool, i mean your Cyclonus is in other league. In my opinion, and believe me i dont want to criticize, but "Cyclonus" should be Galvatron XD. But anyway. it's awesome like your other works
no problem, thanks a lot!
hes like a monsterous combination of ROTF megatron and the Fallen
I wish this was a a toy, because I'd totally buy it.
I gotta say this is worth a 3d modelling >> << I could do it, but right now im working on my Manga. I'm posting them up soon as I can.
Lol! Oh man...you're killing me
This is brilliant!
This is brilliant!
Hmm, I think Megatron looked taller. Still cool. BTW, what does ol' Galvy turn into?
Old, you meant? The g1 turned to tank and gun/cannon. Mien turn into truck, tank and jet... The 3 alt modes of the trilogy.
Nice work, you managed to get him close to Megatron and the original Galvatron but still kept it unique.
Really really nice drawing here....this must have taken you ages!

Can Europe afford the NBA's biggest stars?
Originally Published: August 27, 2008By Ian Whittell | Special to ESPN.com
As soon as American basketball fans had come to terms with the loss of the likes of Josh Childress, Carlos Delfino and Earl Boykins to Europe this summer, we started hearing about the unthinkable.
LeBron James suiting up for Olympiacos of Greece in 2010? Kobe Bryant becoming player-owner of a team in Italy? Teammates on the U.S. Olympic squad heading to Russia?
Interviews with some of the league's elite players certainly suggested that this summer's trickle of talent ...

Law of Demeter in Java - Principle of least Knowledge - Real life Example
Law of Demeter also known as principle of least knowledge is a coding principle, which says that a module should not know about the inner details of the objects it manipulates. If a code depends upon internal details of a particular object, there is good chance that it will break as soon as internal of that object changes. Since Encapsulation is all about hiding internal details of object and exposing only operations, it also assert Law of Demeter. One mistake many Java programmer makes it exposing internal detail of object using getter methods and this is where principle of least knowledge alerts you. I first come to know about this principle, while reading one of the must read programming book, Robert C. Martin's Clean code. Apart from many good thing the book teaches you, "principle of least knowledge" is one principle, which I still remember. Like many bad things, you will tempt to violate Law of Demeter, because of beautiful chaining of methods written in fluent style. On surface it looks pretty good, but as soon as you think about principle of least knowledge, you start seeing the real picture. In this article, we will see formal definition of Law of Demeter and explore code snippet which violates this principle.

Double Checked Locking on Singleton Class in Java
Singleton class is quite common among Java developers, but it poses many challenges to junior developers. One of the key challenge they face is how to keep Singleton class as Singleton? i.e. how to prevent multiple instances of a Singleton due to whatever reasons. Double checked locking of Singleton is a way to ensure only one instance of Singleton class is created through application life cycle. As name suggests, in double checked locking, code checks for an existing instance of Singleton class twice with and without locking to double ensure that no more than one instance of singleton gets created. By the way, it was broken before Java fixed its memory models issues in JDK 1.5. In this article, we will see how to write code for double checked locking of Singleton in Java, why double checked locking was broken before Java 5 and How that was fixed. By the way this is also important from interview point of view, I have heard it's been asked to code double checked locking of Singleton by hand on companies in both financial and service sector, and believe me it's tricky, until you have clear understanding of what you are doing. You can also see my full list of Singleton design pattern questions to prepare well.

Why use SerialVersionUID inside Serializable class in Java
Serialization and SerialVersionUID is always remains a puzzle for many Java developers. I often see questions like what is this SerialVersionUID, or what will happen if I don't declare SerialVersionUID in my Serializable class? Apart from complexity involved and rare use, one more reason of these questions is Eclipse IDE's warning against absence of SerialVersionUID e.g. "The Serializable class Customer does not declare a static final SerialVersionUID field of type long". In this article, you will not only learn basics of Java SerialVersionUID but also it's effect during serialization and de-serialization process. When you declare a class as Serializable by implementing marker interface java.io.Serializable, Java runtime persist instance of that class into disk by using default Serialization mechanism, provided you have not customized the process using Externalizable interface. During serialization, Java runtime creates a version number for a class, so that it can de-serialize it later. This version number is known as SerialVersionUID in Java. If during de-serialization, SerialVersionUID doesn't match than process will fail with InvalidClassException as Exception in thread "main" java.io.InvalidClassException, also printing class-name and respective SerialVersionUID. Quick solution to fix this problem is copying SerialVersionUID and declaring them as private static final long constant in your class. In this article, we will learn about why we should use SerialVersionUID in Java and How to use serialver JDK tool for generating this ID. If you are new to serialization, you can also see Top 10 Java Serialization Interview question to gauge your knowledge and find gap in your understanding for further reading. Similar to Concurrency and Multi-threading, Serialization is another topic, which deserve couple of reading.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 5 - Solving Array IndexOutOfBoundsException in Java
If you are coming from C background than there is pleasant surprise for you, Java programming language provides implicit bound checks on Array, which means an invalid array index access is not allowed in Java and it will result in java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. Array is one of the most used data structure across all programming language and it's no different in Java. In fact Java API has used array to build several useful data structures e.g. HashMap and ArrayList. These classes also throws IndexOutOfBoundsException if invalid index is supplied to their get(int index) methods. One of the common mistakes Java programmer makes is invalid end condition on classical index based for loops. Since more often than not, you write code to loop over array or list in Java, a wrong end condition can result in Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, as shown in next section. Along with java.lang.NullPointerException, this exception is biggest problem for new-comers, but, easiest to solve, once you know the basics. As name suggests, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException comes, when you try to access an invalid bound i.e. index. Array is fixed length data structure, once created and initialized, you cannot change its size. If an array is created with size 5 means it has five slots to hold items depending upon type of array, and it's index is zero based, which means first item exits in index 0, second at index 1, and last element at index 4 [length-1], this is where most mistakes are made. For getting a refresher in array, please see Java Array 101.

How to Find Prime Factors of Integer Numbers in Java - Factorization Algorithm
One of the common homework/task in programming courses is about Prime Factorization. You are asked to write a program to find prime factors of given integer number. The prime factors of a number are all of the prime numbers that will exactly divide the given number. For example prime factors of 35 are 7 and 5, both are prime in itself and exactly divides 35. Last time I did this exercise when I was in college, and it was something like, writing a program that asks the user for an integer input and then display that number's prime factorization in command line. There are variants of this program as well e.g. look at this exercise, Write a program that prompts the user to enter a positive integer and displays all its smallest factors in decreasing order. It's more or less same as earlier mentioned version of prime factorization problem, but with a catch of displaying them in decreasing order. Displaying is not a problem at all, you can display it in command prompt or a GUI easily, main thing is to write logic to find prime factors, and this is what you will learn in this programming tutorial. Remember, we can not use an API method, which directly solves the problem e.g. you are not allowed to use reverse method of StringBuffer, in order to reverse a String in Java. You need to write the core logic of prime factorization by using primitive programming constructs e.g. control statements, loops, arithmetic operator etc.

10 Articles Every Programmer Must Read
Being a Java programmer and Software developer, I have learned a lot from articles titled as What Every Programmer Should Know about ..... , they tend to give a lot of useful and in-depth information about a particular topic, which otherwise is very hard to discover. In my quest of learning I have come across some very useful articles, which I have bookmarked for reference and multiple reading. I personally think that all programmer can benefit by reading these articles, which makes me write this post and share all of these "What Every Programmer Should Know" articles with you guys. These are from my personal bookmarks. In this article, you will see classic what every programmer should know article from topics like memory, Unicode, floating point arithmetic, networking, object oriented design, time, URL Encoding, String and many more. This list is very important for beginner and newcomers, as they are the ones, who lacks practical knowledge. Since most of these post are actually driven by practical knowledge, beginner and intermediate programmers can take a lot from it. Also gaining knowledge of fundamentals early in career helps to avoid mistakes, which has done by other programmers and software developers on their course of learning. Though it's not easy to grasp all knowledge given in these articles in just one reading. You probably won't understand some details about floating point number or get confused with subtle details of memory, but it's important to keep these list handy and refer them time to time with a context. So Good luck and Enjoy reading these wonderful articles. By the way, don't forget to share any What Every Programmer Should know article, if it's not already in this list.

tibrvnative.dll : Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform - Windows 8
Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform is a generic error, which comes when a 64-bit process tries to load a 32-bit dll, but when it comes its not that easy to resolve. One of my reader was getting this error tibrvnative.dll : Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit when he was trying to install Tibco Rendezvous 8.2 on his Windows 8 HP Laptop. He was working on Java application which was dependent upon Tibco Rendezvous for inter process communication. After installing Tibco on his machine he was having hard time to run his Java application, first he was getting errors like java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no tibrvnative in java.library.path and after resolving that he was getting a new error tibrvnative.dll: Can't find dependent libraries. After lot of research and trial and error, he found that the version he was trying e.g. Tibco Rendezvous 8.2 was not supported for Windows 8 operating system. That installer was working find on Windows 7 and XP but not working on Windows 8. At last, when he upgraded to latest Tibco Rendezvous version 8.4.1, which supposed to work on windows 8, he started getting a new error Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform. Frustrated with all these errors, he was about to give up, when he emailed me. I suggested to try running his Java application, which was using Tibco Rendezvous, with 32-bit JVM rather than 64-bit JVM, which he was initially running because of 64-bit configuration of his notebook. I also suggested him to execute sample programs from Tibco installation, before running your Java application, it's not only quick but also isolate the issue. Thankfully running on 32-bit JVM did work for him, which motivates me to post the solution here.

Open source Java Libraries to Create PDF documents - iText vs Apache FOP
PDF format is a popular format for sending receipt, email confirmation and other documentation and we often has requirement to create PDF documents using Java, mostly in JSP pages. Since most of official documentation uses PDF format now days, it becomes imperative to support PDF files. Recently I received couple of question regarding suggestion of open source Java PDF libraries, like which is the best open source PDF library in Java or should I use iText or Apache FOP in my Java application for PDF processing. These questions motivates me to write this post. In this article, I will share couple of Java based open source PDF libraries, both FREE and with some licensing fees, which you can use to generate PDF documents in Java projects. Many of you would have definitely heard about iText, it's the standard Java library for creating PDF files, but iText 5.0+ is not free any more, you need to pay small licensing fess for using it. Unlike previous version of iText, iText 4.2, which was released under MPL/LGPL licenses, latest version of iText requires you to purchase a license as soon as you develop a commercial application and distributing the iText library inside your project or deploying it on a network, without disclosing source code of your own applications under AGPL license. This includes serving PDF using JSP pages in Java web application or distributing iText with a closed source product. If your project is already using iText then paying this license fee seems to be better option than migrating your PDF processing code to another Java library, but if you are starting a new project, there are couple of open source Java PDF libraries e.g. Apache FOP (Formatting Objects processor), which you can explore. This is definitely not as feature rich as iText, but can be useful as to generate PDF files and support common functionalities, which is what most of the Java projects needs.

How String in Switch works in Java 7
Ever Since Java allows using String variable in switch and case statements, there are many programmers using this feature in code, which can be better written using integer and enum pattern. This was one of the popular features of JDK 7 release, including automatic resource management and multi exception catch blocks. Though I upfront didn't like this feature because of better alternative available in terms of using enumeration type, I am not totally against this feature. One reason of this is convenience and given usage of String in Java program, it's quite handy as well, but I prefer to learn more before using any new feature in production code. When I first come to know about this feature, I had an idea that String in Switch can be implemented using equals() and hashCode() method, I was more interested on how String in Switch works in Java 7. One more reason I was curious to know about internal working of this feature because I wanted to ask this during Java interviews, having one of such question makes interviews little more interesting. Testing was simple, you just need to write code using String variables in switch block, and then decompile the code to see, how compiler has translated them. So what are we waiting for, Let's see how String in switch block actually works?

Top 5 Cloud Service Providers and Companies, Java IT professionals Should Know
Cloud computing is Hot, it's the biggest IT trend of last few years and will continue to grow strong in coming future. Cloud computing provides several not-so-easy-to-ignore advantages, especially to public and small enterprises, which cannot afford to own and maintain expensive data centres. Since most of online business now days need high avaibility, scalability, and resiliency, with-in quick time, it's not possible to achieve all these by your own, and cloud computing becomes a best alternative here. Cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS) has helped several firms to remain focus on their business, without worrying for IT and infrastructure too much, this has yield big result for them. Not to forget cost effectiveness of cloud computing compared to your own hardware, software and data centres, and with increased competition and awareness of this business, cost is only going to south to make it even more appealing for public and small companies. There are lots of cloud service providers coming up, with increased focused on leveraging expensive data centres to full, many big companies who owns cloud infrastructure are making foray into cloud computing business. In this list, we will see learn 5 Cloud computing companies, which are either market leader or has potential to be a dominant market player. This list includes companies like Amazon, Google etc. If you are a programmer and think that there is no point knowing about cloud computing or not at-least about these cloud computing companies, you are wrong. As an IT professional, one should know about latest technologies and what is going around, when you grow in your career or forms a start-up, your general knowledge of cloud computing and IT platform, infrastructure will help a lot.

Tauriel Stamp by DrakkenlovesShego12Watch
As soon as I heard about this character, I was very skeptical because I thought she was going to be just a throw away love interest for Legolas, but I was surprised when I watched the "Desolation of Smaug" movie, which was amazing by the way I personally like the idea of Peter Jackson putting in a female character for the Hobbit movies, since the book had none. I love the way she is, and I love how she is a very skilled fighter (like Legolas.) Most of all, I love how she didn't really have a love connection with Legolas, because it wouldn't have made sense, but instead with Kili. Kili x Tauriel is my new OTP Why? Too long to explain
Anyway, I know people dislike this character because either she wasn't in the book, or they just find her pointless, but Arwen seemed more pointless and boring than Tauriel. Yes I know a lot of you are going to hate me for saying that, but just because Arwen was an actual character doesn't mean she is a great and memorable one. Arwen always bores me, and she does nothing in the last two Lord of the Rings movies except cry and think about Aragorn. No I do not hate Arwen, but I found Tauriel was a better and more interesting female elf. Just my opinion, please no hating.
Also, it seriously bothers me that people think just because Tauriel is involved in a love story means that suddenly she is a weak character. Just because she is in love with somebody it doesn't make her any less brave, bad-ass, or kind.
So yeah, I love this character, and I am looking forward to seeing her in the last movie
First off, I absolutely hated Kili and Tauriel. It could have had potential to be good, but they picked a situation that had been done previously in the series and they also executed the whole romance thing to be cute and without substance. I personally cannot stand relationships like that. It's focused too much on physical attraction and not enough on actual bonds and friendship. You can't seriously know and love a person you don't know. So yes, "without substance." It happens too much these days. You need more of a connection than a disturbing affinity for stars. No, just no. Before the movie came out I thought she was just going to be a love interest-side kick for Legolas too, which was somewhat true of the actual film. But blehh. Like I said, the executed a lot of these things to be way too stiff and generally annoying to me. I think the chick should be single and awesome XD Hey, that's what Legolas is! Why can't any female characters in these movies be single and awesome.
That being said, I think Tauriel being the center of this love-triangle damaged the impact of the character in a lot of ways. I just didn't buy her as being reputable and wise. She also healed Kili, which is something I don't think a elf of the guard is trained for.
Either things just really didn't add up, or they are waiting to explain some things the battle of the five armies because there are too many inconsistencies in the film.
So yes. I saw this stamp and I just had to complain about Tauriel to someone. We nitpick what we love XD
I don't know how this will turn out though... if you have read the hobbit you know what is going to happen with Kili in the next film so yeah ;;
And yes I have read the Hobbit book, so I do know the fate of Kili, Thorin, and Fili
Haha, that is very true. Since it's their own creation, they literally could have done anything with the romance. At least it didn't turn out worse than it did. The other thing I'm worried about is what is going to happen when Kili dies? I want his death to be important and have the same meaning it did in the book and not be about Tauriel. But since they have this mini romance going what's going to happen then? I kinda like Legolas and Tauriel together as like partnershippy, frendshippy people with a bit of romance mixed in (if that's how it was when the story began and the stuff with Kili didn't happen, it would have probably worked as long as it wasn't to romance based), but now, if they make her with Legolas after Kili dies I think it might ruin her character. I want the chick to be single in the end, but then you have the risk of them killing her off (because people have this idea in movies these days that strong females without romance are throw-away characters you can kill off). I don't want that to happen XD
I'm going to be so sad when Thorin, Kili and Fili die. I really love Fili :/
I love all of them, I am going to cry when they die
Kili and Tauriel, YES the writers ruined it by taking it wayyy to fast. I like the idea of them and they are very cute, shame. In the books the dwarves were in the dungeon for weeks, in the movies not even one day
sorry for butting in
I thought the same thing! I hated the idea of Tauriel before I watched the movie. But now, she's definitly one of my fave characters!
I like her way better then Arwen x3

Massachusetts' continued commitment to clean, solar energy is paying off, according to a just-released report by The Solar Foundation, which shows the state second only to California in solar jobs. Reacting to the news, Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), said this remarkable progress is a result of several factors.
The Solar Foundation
You are here
The Solar Foundation's National Solar Jobs Census 2014 is the fifth annual update of current employment, trends, and projected growth in the U.S. solar industry.
New Jobs Report Shows Value of Solar Energy to U.S. Economy
WASHINGTON, DC - Growing at an annual rate of more than 20 percent – far outpacing the growth of the overall U.S. economy, a new report released today shows that the U.S. solar industry added more than 31,000 jobs in 2014, bringing total employment in the sector to 173,807 workers. The results were released by The Solar Foundation (TSF), a widely-respected, non-profit organization.
This webinar will present the results of data collection and analysis effort, discussing changes in why schools are going solar, where these systems are being installed, how they are being financed, as well as other information relevant to nonprofits, solar companies, and individuals interested in supporting solar on K-12 schools.
SEIA Applauds Initiative to Expand Solar on NYC Schools
WASHINGTON, DC - Calling it an "important step forward," the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is applauding a new initiative announced by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to install more than 6,000 kilowatts (kW) of solar power on public schools across the city.
Brighter Future: A Study on Solar in U.S. Schools

The Bears have certainly made a big enough stir in these parts by trading for quarterback Jay Cutler and overhauling the offensive line in free agency.
Sometimes we're only keeping our eyes on our own backyard though.
How does that offseason stack up to what has happened elsewhere? ESPN's John Clayton breaks it down here by reviewing the top 10 offseasons. These are not the top 10 teams, but his top 10 most impressive offseasons. You might be surprised where he has the Bears ranked--fifth overall.
*** Over here, Pete Prisco at CBSSports.com checked in with his first post-draft power rankings. The Bears don't rank the top 10 here,
in fact Prisco has them on the outside looking in at the playoffs.but Prisco has them winning the NFC North.
Looks like the Bears have some more work to do--probably the kind done on the field--to impress people who have been watching them from a distance.

Japan is recognised worldwide as a tech-savvy, fastidious, on-the-go civilisation with a deep reverence for tradition. Somehow, the country manages to balance the two. Enter the ryokan, a singular style of accommodation with inherent customs and mores that harken back to the early Edo period and well beyond.
Typical ryokan breakfast – Photo credit
Ryokan, often present in onsen (thermal bath) resorts and areas of remarkable beauty, run the gamut from bare-bones tatami rooms and breakfasts to more plush creature comforts. As such, fees range from US$50 up to US$1,500 and more. Rates do not only include a night's stay but also two meals – breakfast and dinner. Unlike your run-of-the-mill hotel room service, ryokan meals, at their best and most authentic, are near-ritualistic experiences.
A top-of-mind ryokan is Hoshi Hokuriku. The oldest hotel still in operation – no less important a source than the Guinness Book of World Records authenticates the claim – is more than 1,200 years old. Over 46 generations of the same family runs the place. Currently, the inn offers 100 comfortable rooms in the onsen village of Awazu on Mount Hakusan, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Kyoto is a famous ryokan city. A good choice is Ryotei Rangetsu Ryokan which has a lovely backdrop in the Ozeki River in Arashiyama. The inn offers a delicate combination of serenity and the utmost luxury to guests. With only 15 stylish units, anyone who stays here can count on exceptional service and privacy.
On the island of Hokkaido, visitors can choose from a spectacular variety of inns. The marvelous Yumoto Dai Ni Meisuitei Ryokan is at Kitayuzawa Onsen and close to Mount Hakodate.
For another taste of ryokan accommodation in Hakodate, travellers can give the Chikuba Shinyotei Ryokan Hakodate a try. The boutique property gives tradition a modern, sleek twist but sacrifices little in the way of warm hospitality.
A traditional inn is the way to go if you travel outside of urban Japan, whether Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama or the like. Do mind the rules however:
Guests must take off boots, trainers and heels before entry. Complimentary slippers make up for the "inconvenience".
After check-in, visitors must follow the host to the room. No slippers on the tatami mats.
Each guest is given a yakuta (robe). This may be worn in the room and even around the inn.
Guests can choose to either use the private bath in the room or, in many cases, the spacious communal bath. There is a separate bath for men and women. At the public bath, one must remove all clothes and leave them in designated baskets. Bring the hand towel provided and go inside the bathing room. To take a bath, one must first sit on a foot stool placed right in front of the hot and cold faucets. If shower spouts are available, sit on the stool. It is important to clean one's body thoroughly with soap before stepping in the public bath to soak.
There are meals provided in the ryokan as part of the nightly rate. To make sure you enjoy your food at optimal temperatures, advise the staff when you want to eat. Meals are taken either in the guestroom or in a dining room.
Front desks tend to close early. Make a mental note to complete arrangements and requests in advance to avoid delays and unnecessary frustrations.

The game is set in New York City, where a virulent plague known as Blacklight is spreading through Manhattan. Those infected are mutated into hideous monsters of varying form, with an uncontrollable rage to kill all uninfected life-forms and a military black operations force called Blackwatch has been deployed to keep the infection from spreading. At the center of it is the protagonist, Alex Mercer, an incredibly powerfulshapeshifter with no memory of his past. Parallel to the game's storyline is the ability to play the game as a sandbox-style video game giving the player freedom to roam Manhattan. Merry Christmas!

Article Summary
Several years ago, every inch of the New York City Subway system – along with other public transportation systems around the world, was covered in graffiti. Now there's fewer tags, but more ways to express yourself. The virtual world is one new venue for graffiti and the art of tagging. Augmented reality app LZRTAG is hoping to advance those tags to images and even animations, but you need a smartphone to make that happen.

Best art show to include images via computer (2000)
Susan Goldstein, Life Layers
For a brief time last year, Susan Goldstein transformed the ordinarily turgid front room at Edge into one of the most visually sophisticated places in the city. She did this by putting together Life Layers, a series of very fine collages in which she combined found objects -- ledgers, textbooks and labels -- with computer-transferred images. Goldstein, who at the time had only recently returned from a stint at the famous Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, layered her images, printing some of them on transparent plastic sheets, revealing the pages beneath. Though Goldstein has been exhibiting in town for a decade, she's never been better than in Life Layers.

Frequently Asked Questions
about the International Studies Major
You can find the 2015 Undergraduate Student Handbook HERE.
Revised June, 2015
General Information
1) NEW: Are there any pre-requisites for the International Studies (IS) major?
Yes. Students must complete INTLSTD 101 with a grade of C- or better.
Students must be enrolled in their fourth semester of language (or placed out).
Students planning on electing the Political Economy and Development sub-plan must first complete ECON 101.
2) May I count 100 level courses toward the major?
100-level courses may not be counted toward an international studies major.
3) What are the requirements for the International Studies (IS) Honors Plan?
If you're considering an honors program, you must have an overall GPA of 3.4 with a grade of B+ or better in your INTLSTD 101 class. During your senior year, you will enroll in two additional three-credit classes: INTLSTD 498 in the Fall, and INTLSTD 499 in the Winter. You will also be required to write an honors thesis, and you will be responsible for finding a faculty member to serve as your thesis advisor. Both your thesis topic and your thesis advisor must be approved by the PICS director before you start working on the thesis. For detailed information please see http://ii.umich.edu/pics/academics/honorsplan
4) How many double-counted courses will apply toward my double major?
PICS does not have a limit on the number of courses double counted with a second major.
5) May I take a course towards my IS major/minor P/F?
All courses going towards your IS major/minor require a letter grade with exclusion of 5th or 6th term language.
6) What is the minimum grade I can receive in a course going towards my IS major?
7) Is it possible for me to apply alternative credits (e.g. an internship, transfer credits, independent study, or non-LSA courses) toward an IS major?
In some cases it is, but each request will need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. PICS offers an independent study course, INTLSTD 491. The research needs to be approved by the PICS director before you can enroll in INTLSTD 491. You must provide a one page written proposal of the academic goal and plan for the study and a written agreement between you and the faculty member that will sponsor your study. Please include a description of the study, clearly articulated expectations, interim deadlines, and a final deadline for completion of the study. PICS does not have a course number for internships, but you may petition us for credit toward the major.
Transfer credits must post to your official UM transcript at 200 level or above and be directly related to your sub plan focus or region of study. Transfer courses must be pre-approved by a PICS advisor. In both of these cases, however, credit toward the sub-plan core is unlikely to be granted—but credit as an elective is possible. To seek approval for a course you've taken or are thinking of taking, please follow the standard course approval instructions (for either sub-plans or electives) detailed below.
8) What counts as a regional course?
A regional course should focus on a single world region as it connects to your language of study. Upper-level language courses beyond the sixth-term language requirement that have a focus on culture, history, arts, etc. may work as a regional course as well as relevant study abroad courses.
Language: Spanish Region: Latin America
Courses: POLSCI 347 Politics and Society in Latin America; SPANISH 328 Studies in Hispanic Popular Culture; STDABRD 240 Spanish Culture
Language: French Region: Western Europe
Courses: FRENCH 369 Literature, History, and Culture of Modernity; WOMENSTD 317 Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe, 1500-1800
9) How does study abroad credit count toward my major?
First, you have to receive U-M credit. If your study abroad program is arranged through the Center for Global and Intercultural Study (CGIS) then this shouldn't be an issue, but if your program is organized by another university you must arrange for that university to transfer the credits, and for U-M to accept them. You can check the U-M Transfer Credit Equivalency Search or request a pre-evaluation from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions using the Transfer Credit Equivalency Request Form. We encourage you to make sure this is all arranged to your satisfaction before you commit to any given non U-M study abroad program.
Once they are posted to your U-M transcript, study abroad credits may be used to satisfy either the one regional course requirement or the elective requirements, if they are 200 level or above. In general, only one course may be counted toward the sub-plan core per semester abroad, with any exceptions approved by the PICS director. Course descriptions are required for all study abroad courses you want approved.
1) How would I get a course approved for inclusion in a sub-plan?
With the many choices available on the sub-plan menus of approved courses, most students are able to find the courses they both need and want to take. Nevertheless, if you come upon a course that you think appropriate for your sub-plan, but it is not on the approved list, we'll be happy to review it. To request a course review, you will need to fill out and submit the PICS Course Approval Form.
2) What if none of the tracks fit exactly what I am looking for, may I create my own track?
3) Can I choose more than one sub-plan?
1) May I take more than one language in the same region to reach the six semester requirement?
Students may appeal the sixth term of a single language (although 6 terms of one language is strongly recommended in most cases) and substitute a minimum of two terms of language relevant to their defined program to total six terms of language study. Must make case. Each case reviewed individually. For example if a student has a special interest in Africa and this is reflected in the student's previous coursework, and he/she has four semesters of French and wishes to add two semesters of an African language, this may be permissible. Similarly, if a student has a great interest in the Middle East a combination of Hebrew/Arabic may be permissible. Other possible combinations are Spanish/Portuguese if a special interest in Latin America can be demonstrated. However, a combination of Spanish and Italian or French is not permissible. Please note that if you are planning to satisfy the PICS language requirement through using two different languages (4 +2 terms) you must obtain pre-approval. Questions regarding this should be directed to your PICS advisor.
2) What is sixth term language proficiency?
All IS majors must attain six term proficiency, in a language other than English, during their course of study. To clarify what constitutes language proficiency, please click here. Please contact a PICS advisor if your language is not listed.
3) Does my language have to match my region?
Yes. If your language of study is Spanish, for example, you may focus on any Spanish-speaking country or region. If you receive approval to study both Spanish and Quechua (an indigenous language of the South American Andes), you would then be required to focus on the region of South American in which both Spanish and Quechua are spoken.
4) Should a regional course connect to my language of study?
A regional course should focus on a single world region as it connects to your language of study. Upper-level language courses beyond the 6th term language requirement that have a focus on culture, history, arts. etc. may work as a regional course as well as relevant study abroad courses.
Language: Spanish Region: Latin America
Courses: POLSCI 347 Politics and Society in Latin America; SPANISH 328 Studies in Hispanic Popular Culture; STDABRD 240 Spanish Culture
Language: French Region: Western Europe
Courses: FRENCH 369 Literature, History, and Culture of Modernity; WOMENSTD 317 Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe, 1500-1800
Core Courses
1) When should I plan to take INTLSTD 301 and INTLSTD 401? Am I required to take them in order?
We would like to see you take the core courses in order, but we understand that this is not always feasible and we do not require it. Take 301 and 401 in whatever order works best with your schedule, even if that means you take two of them concurrently. Keep in mind though that the INTLSTD 401 seminar is restricted to 3rd- and 4th-year students only.
2) What semesters are 101, 301, and 401 offered?
INTLSTD 101, 301 and 401 are offered both Fall and Winter each year.
3) Is there a way for me to get a course approved as INTLSTD 301 and 401?
No, you'll have to take a genuine INTLSTD 301 and 401 course. INTLSTD 301, with varying topics, is offered each Fall and Winter term. There are several INTLSTD 401 seminars, with varying topics, offered each Fall and Winter term.
1) How do I get a course approved as an elective?
E-mail the course title and course description to a PICS advisor. Include a note with the language you're studying, your sub-plan focus, and your UMID number. You may also schedule an advising appointment for elective course approvals.
2) What kinds of courses may I take as electives?
Your electives should focus on the world region as it connects to your language of study, or you may elect courses that build upon your sub-plan focus. There is no pre-approved list for electives. You may take additional sub-plan (your selected sub-plan only), regional, or relevant study abroad courses. Remember that all electives must be pre-approved by a PICS advisor.
3) May I select courses from a different sub-plan and count them among my electives?
Yes, only if the course in question connects to your world region or sub-plan focus. Please bear in mind that all electives must be pre-approved by a PICS advisor.
4) Are there restrictions on elective courses outside of topic? For example, is there a limit to how many 200- or 300-level courses I might count toward my elective requirement?
The only restriction is that you may not apply 100-level courses toward the satisfaction of your elective requirements.
