For the first time, the public may access the data that made up 134 reports on Boston's neighborhoods, planning districts, the 2010 Census, and the 2005-2009 American Community Survey.
The 2010 Census includes information on population, sex, age, race, housing occupancy and household type; the American Community Survey features more detailed characteristics such as place of birth, employment status, and languages spoken at home. For example, to find Brighton's median household income, enter "Brighton median household income" into the search bar on the Boston Data Portal, then click "Brighton, neighborhood data: American Community Survey 2005-2009″. After downloading the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, click the "Economic" tab; Brighton's "Median Household Income" is listed first.
Students, researchers, and others seeking economic, demographic, and housing information about Boston's neighborhoods now have data at their fingertips.
The release of the data is part of Mayor Menino's strategy for open government and transparency. The BRA Research Division will make the data for future reports available via the Boston Data Portal.

Today, after an extensive investigation, the Elbert County Sheriff's Office arrested a local Elbert county resident and volunteer firefighter from the Elbert Fire Protection District. The arrest was made in connection with the June 2012 "County Road 102 Fire" that burned several hundred acres and caused the evacuation of the Town of Elbert and surrounding area.
Alex J. Averette a 19 year old male is being held at the Elbert County Jail on a $50,000.00 bond for the offenses of Intentionally Setting Wildfire, 2nd Degree Arson, Reckless Endangerment, Criminal Mischief and 2nd Degree Criminal Trespass. .
On June 24, 2012 at approximately 11:56 am, the Elbert County Sheriff's Office and multiple fire agencies were dispatched after the report of a fire. The blaze was located just north of the town of Elbert in the area of County Road 102.
The initial attack utilized over 100 fire and law enforcement personnel from multiple agencies. Firefighting resources around the state were limited at that time due to the Waldo, Hyde Park and other major fires throughout Colorado.
Multiple fire ground crews were aided by Elbert County Road and Bridge equipment, law enforcement personnel, and two single engine aircraft tankers performing drops in the area. The fire required the pre-evacuation of the town of Elbert and surrounding areas.
The fire scene was active for 18 days during which time fire crews worked to gain control of the blaze.

Store scanner errors more common than you think
Don't Waste Your Money
When you go to a supermarket, drugstore or convenience store, you assume the price you pay is the same as the price on the shelf sticker.
But our newest casual check confirmed what many shoppers fear: You are being charged more than the shelf tag.
Happens to Everyone
It's frustrating: You're standing at the cash register and notice something rang up at a wrong price.
Vonda Schloss said it has happened to her. "Yes, they have done that before and I had to tell them it's a different price," she said.
It's also happened to Dorothy Trimm. "The stuff on sale they will ring up the regular price," she said.
And it happened to us, as we went into a number of stores with a hidden camera.
Counties Inspect Stores Annually
Hamilton County, Ohio Auditor Dusty Rhodes sends a team of inspectors to every store in the county each year, without advance notice.
Most states have laws requiring each county to perform scanner checks.
Rhodes said most stores have a 2 percent or lower failure rate, which means fewer than 2 percent of items rang up incorrectly.
That's considered a "passing" grade.
But at some stores, the failure rate can be as high as 20 percent, especially during a sale period.
"We typically find the problem over the holidays or right after there is a big sale," Rhodes said. "You expect to buy something, and the price rings up different, it's an issue."
Rhodes said he believes the mistakes are due to sloppiness – especially during sale events – not deliberate deception.
"Very rarely do we find a store that does not want to comply," Rhodes said. "They want to make it right, and that speaks to the quality of merchants in this area and people running these stores."
Stores Continue to Struggle
While it may not be deliberate, Rhodes' most recent 2013 tests show some stores continue to struggle with cash register accuracy.
At one supermarket, county testers found 8 percent of items there scanned wrong – and we had similar results when we went in with hidden camera.
Of 17 items we bought, five scanned at different prices.
For instance, Frosted Flakes were $1.69 on the shelf, but we were charged $1.79.
A rice mix was stickered at 69 cents, but our receipt showed we paid 79 cents.
At at office supply store, meantime,we overpaid for an iPhone speaker: The big shelf tag said $3, but it rang up for $4.
Rhodes said the tests are not a "witch hunt," but rather a method to keep stores diligent and honest. He said without anonymous testing, mistakes could be more rampant.
"We want to maintain an honest market," Rhodes said. "That's the success of any free enterprise system."
As always, don't waste your money.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. employers added 163,000 jobs in July, a hopeful sign after three months of sluggish hiring.
The Labor Department says the unemployment rate rose to 8.3 percent from 8.2 percent in June.
July's hiring was the best since February. Still, the economy has added an average of 151,000 jobs a month this year, roughly the same as last year's pace. That's not enough to satisfy the 12.8 million Americans who are unemployed.
The rate increased because the government uses two surveys: A survey of businesses showed job gains, but a survey of households showed fewer people had jobs. Economists say the business survey is more reliable.
High unemployment could hurt President Barack Obama's re-election hopes. No president since World War II has faced re-election with unemployment over 8 percent.

http://mmajunkie.com In their latest high-profile women's MMA booking, Bellator officials are finalizing a bout between British fighter Rosi Sexton (10-1 MMA, 1-0 BFC) and Zoila Frausto (6-1 MMA, 0-0 BFC) for its season-ending Bellator 23 show.
A source close to the event told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) the fight will be contested at a catch-weight of 121 pounds.
Bellator 23 takes place June 24 at the Fourth Street Live! entertainment district in downtown Louisville, Ky.
As with all Bellator shows, Bellator 23 airs live on FOX Sports Net, and highlights packages run the following Saturday on NBC, Telemundo and mun2.
Sexton vs. Frausto is expected to be part of the night's televised main card, which also includes two tournament finales: featherweights Joe Warren (4-1 MMA, 2-0 BFC) vs. Patricio "Pitbull" Freire (14-0 MMA, 2-0 BFC) and middleweights Bryan Baker (13-1 MMA, 3-0 BFC) vs. Alexander Shlemenko (29-4 MMA, 2-0 BFC).
Sexton, who previously was announced as part of Bellator's upcoming season-three 115-pound women's tournament, looks for her sixth consecutive win since a second-round knockout loss to Gina Carano in 2006. Most recently, the BodogFIGHT veteran and Ph.D. (computer science at Manchester University) submitted Valerie Coolbaugh at Bellator 12 in June 2009.
Widely regarded as the world's top 125-pound fighter, Sexton now meets Frausto, who recently rebounded from a submission loss to Strikeforce's Miesha Tate with a stoppage win over Michelle Ould (4-2 at the time) at a May Warriors Cage event.
For the latest on Bellator 23, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.

victorre wrote:Well, I'm really sad to hear that Obsidian Dragon is necessary for the Lawtia/Gowen midrange file, since I didn't hear about the Kickstarter until a month or so after it was over. But thanks for sharing your insight on that.
On the Kickstarter cards, how much of a role do you expect they'll play in the meta? Most of them seem cool-but-niche, but the Dragon is crazy powerful and I wish I'd been around to back for him.
Finally, I don't want to turn this into an "ask Worthing about Core" thread, but it was mentioned that "most" of the multisphere cards are in Core. Does this include Proxies? In my experience, they are essential for any multisphere file that wants to go above LV3 in more than one sphere.
Thanks again for being so open with people about the new metagame, Worthing!
You don't need obsidian dragon, I think newer players will though since they don't have many rare cards unless they spend a lot of money.
Hirume and Obsidian are both strong. Jaques and cat are alright imo.
All the proxies are in. Originally we had a vast majority of the multi sphere cards in as well, we took some out because they weren't practical with the rest of the core or they were too strong. I'd say over half of the multisphere cards are in the core now.
It's not a problem, beta was supposed to be soon so the list should have been revealed around this time anyway if things went the way we said they would. I have no idea when beta is going to start.
I will be releasing a few lengthy guides when horizons comes out as well. I finished a mono sphere file building guide that covers most of the horizon files, and plan to start working on a multi sphere guide.

The WilderHill New Energy Global Innovation index (ticker NEX) of quoted clean energy companies ended the year up 33.3% at 288.25, according to London-headquartered New Energy Finance, an analyst to investors in the renewable energy, biofuels, low-carbon technologies and the carbon markets. The top sector for the index was wind, up by 65%, followed by biofuels, biomass and waste-to-energy, up 60.7%. The hydrogen and fuel cells sector finished down 12.3%.
According to a statement from New Energy, the wind industry benefited from the perception that it is approaching maturity and is now close to being cost-competitive with fossil fuels, as well as the extension of the U.S. production tax credit to 2008. Biggest gainers in the sector were European turbine companies, such as Nordex of Germany (up 172.4%) and Vestas of Denmark (130.7%), which, New Energy notes, recovered from a difficult period after its acquisition of NEG-Micon.
For the first quarter of 2007, new entrants on the index include BMWK FMB Energy, a Swiss energy company that is active in the solar, wind, biofuel, hydroelectricity and nuclear sectors; EDF Energies Nouvelles, the former wind project development arm of EDF; and Theolia, a French wind project developer.
The NEX was launched in January 2006, under the ticker symbol NEX, and is calculated by the American Stock Exchange.

Skip to main content
More and more, we've found many of our users and readers express that they don't know how to do self-care and take care of themselves when they're hurting or struggling, or feel like self-care isn't a valid Thing To Be Doing. We'd deeply disagree, especially since we see how people tend to feel and wind up when they aren't doing self-care. We also know that self-care is a big part of not just getting through your life intact, it's also something that helps people learn to take care of themselves, literally: to develop the independence, autonomy and resilience that is part and parcel of growing into a person who can, earnestly, take care of themselves.
What's self-care? A wide range of behaviors and practices which can support emotional well-being and our overall health and also are used to manage stress. If you're in your teens or twenties, you don't need me to define what stress is: you probably know what it is better than anybody. Self-care means ways, often simple ways, we can or do take care of ourselves, for ourselves (though the people around you and your relationships certainly benefit) both as a general part of living life every day, but also, and often particularly, when we're stressed, depressed, experiencing anxiety or going through something rough or otherwise challenging.
What things are or are not self-care for you is going to depend a whole lot on you: on who you are as a person, what your interests are, what's available to you for self-care, and what you need based on how you're feeling, what's going on in your life, and what you tend to find, over time and through trial and error, works best for you. One person's self-care can be another person's stressor, so there are no rules here. Instead, there are just a wide range of options you can pick from, a la carte, combine and refine to develop your own self-care toolbox.
If all of what we've listed here looks easy to you, and are things you often do for yourself, that's great. Go you! But for some of us, knowing what can even be self-care and learning to care for ourselves as a practice, especially when we're stressed and struggling, is challenging. As someone who spent most of their childhood, teens and adult life just scraping by with a ton of challenges, and also giving a lot to others on top of that, it's been a lifelong learning process for me to learn some of even the most basic self-care. I still have to remind myself to do it a lot, especially at the times when I tend to need it the most. If that sounds like you, it can help to keep a notebook or journal of your own self-care, so you can get in the habit of really doing some every day, and learn to see the patterns of where you totally forget to take care of yourself.
If self-care is pretty new to you, don't make doing self-care yet another thing to stress yourself out with. "Oh NOES! I am a terrible person who forgot to do self-care today! I am full of fail!" Thinking like that is, as is hopefully obvious, the opposite of self-care. As you're learning to take care of you, and exploring what does and does work for you in that respect, baby steps are just fine: this isn't a race to be won or a quota you have to fill.
Big breath, now let it all the way out. Okay. Caring for yourself is hopefully something you can come to with kindness and gentleness towards yourself and learning to do these things, and is something to learn to do without pressure or worry. This is just for you, and just for you to make your life easier, and to help you feel better.
When we're freaking out, stressed out, or otherwise challenged and at loose ends, one of the ways we can do self-care is to simplify or relax our lives in some ways that we're able. It's probably obvious that when our proverbial load feels to heavy, lightening it tends to help.
On top of the things you can do, there are also some things we know tend to increase or encourage anxiety, depression, or just plain feeling lousy, that you should try and avoid or limit -- that you should try NOT to do -- to best care for yourself.
We don't usually leave comments open on articles, but for this one, we have them enabled so that our readers can pitch in and add self-care things that have worked for them and that they really like that aren't on the list. So, if you have some self-care you don't see here you'd like to toss up so others can get more ideas for themselves, post away!
Specifically, um, heavy metal. Or other kinds of metal (well, the kinds I can stand. Black Metal is way too dissonant. Anyway). The strength of the sound is something you don't find in a lot of other kinds of music and it's comforting. Weirdly, it doesn't ramp up my aggression like most people expect metal to do. So there's that.
Stressed with energy: dance
Stressed without energy: have fried food delivered, eat in bed
-Going to the movies with your friends and seeing whatever film starts next. You might either be pleasantly surprised or you can laugh at how ridiculous it is. For bonus feel good points, make sure to buy a bucket of popcorn and candy to share.
-Making bracelets. You can do the embroidery thread variety or you can buy a big bag of plastic beads and some elastic for cheap and start stringing them together.
-Write a silly story to a friend through text messages. You write one or two sentences, then they continue the story with another sentence or two, and keep going back and forth until you're laughing so hard you can't take it anymore.
-Do impressions of your favorite celebs in front of a mirror
- blowing soap bubbles
- walking barefoot
- really loud music
- painting your toenails
- writing a not-to-do list, so you can tick one hundred things off without working (its most fun with really ridiculous things).

For me, junk food *does* work as self care. It's more about eating what I feel like at the moment and genuinely spoiling every aspect of my longings than paying attention to the nutritional aspects of what i'm eating. Especially being a woman and thus being expected to at least eat healthy if I don't care about weight loss anyway. It's more about the meaning of food than its physicality.
(When I'm feeling depressed for more than a few days and don't care for proper food, I usually get to a point where I really crave vegetables and well, then I eat a wide variety of them. I just don't feel that restricting my eating habits will add anything to my wellbeing. (or, well, it will, i've tried, but in a most stressful and unhealthyly obsessive way.) - and i'm pretty sure this is not exclusively personal, but also makes sense in context of gender roles and expectations on female bodies.)
If you can, knitting or crotcheting, or just plain creating, something for yourself or someone else is really great as self-care.
Putting on music that makes you feel really happy and makes you feel like, "YEAH!" (for me it's usually the Red Hot Chili Peppers song "Can't Stop" or the song "Butterfly" by Crazy Town) and jumping on the bed and/or hula hooping in my room.
Going to an open mic night at a local coffee shop and either just watching, or participating. Seeing other people put themselves out there makes me feel more courageous and more part of a community.
Doing any kind of creative project that involves making things (jewelry-making was a great suggestion. I love making hemp bracelets). It feel so empowering to finish and be like, I MADE THIS! I didn't have to buy it--I can do things for myself. (DIY !)

Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

yes he does, and Minato and Kushina would have also seen if their chakra hadn't been used up already.
NaruHina Finally!!!
Remember, Naruto, always say no to friendzoning. :D NaruHina
Well, hopefully won't be seeing anymore deaths for awhile.. Naruto and Hinata going in to whoop them an obito burrito
Finally NaruHina can officially begin! it is quite unfortunate that it begins with Neji's death, however Naruto screwed his head on straight, and re lit his Will Of Fire in this chap. I also like how tense and on interested Obito was towards Naruto's actions/words, sort of brings the old him back a little.
nice chapter...kind fo emotional...but in the end it was just talk no jutsu...
sasuke will kill everyone in the next manga lol

Really? That is so unrealistic on your part. Sasuke is destine to be defeated by Naruto,Sasuke will be stop from destroying the village.
No Manga these Weak ??!?!?!?!
Great chapter!! I really like Hinata's little speech, that really snapped some sense to Naruto!!
I hope 616 is packed with more action! Over all I rate this 5/5 :overjoy: because of Hinata's speech, Naruto's reaction and Killer Bee's attack to the Juubin!
is there a manga skip this week???
Anyone know why the manga is late?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????
You know, there's a sticky at the top of the page that states when manga will be released. SO NO THERE IS NO CHAPTER THIS WEEK.

The New Constitution Review Bill, 2011 will be tabled in parliament for second reading during the 5th parliamentary meeting in October this year, the Acting Parliament Clerk, John Joel said yesterday.
In an interview with The Guardian yesterday, Joel said the new Bill which was to have been tabled during the ongoing parliamentary meeting has been postponed to October.
The National Assembly in April this year withdrew the bill from the House where it was being debated, saying it wanted to give more time for public consultations and contributions.
According to Joel, the new document is very crucial, so legislators needs enough time to scrutinise it. He added: "The document has to be checked thoroughly, adding that currently the legislators are overwhelmed with parliamentary activities since the ongoing budget meeting requires a lot of concentration.
Addressing the Regional Commissioners (RCs) and District Commissioners (DCs) in June this year Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda said the government expects that by April 2014 the new Constitution will be in place.
He said when the parliament passes the Bill the nation will fully engage in writing the draft for the New Constitution. He said the draft would focus on the roles, responsibilities and duties of the three pillars of the state - Judiciary, Legislature and Executive - as well as human rights and good governance.
Last week, the Constitutional Forum launched a ten-rule new constitution guideline, insisting on among others, the consent to independent candidacy in general elections and elimination of legislators in the posts of Regional Commissioners and the cabinet.
The forum Chairman, Deus Kibamba said the move towards a new constitution should consider the ten outlined rules, since the areas have been cause of contradictions within the community.
Kibamba said the other rules included in the guideline are society ethics, an independent electoral commission, reduction of presidential powers, and review of authoritative mode at district level whereby District Commissioners should be eliminated and their posts taken by village representatives in their respective areas.
Others are issues of the Union and its formation, Tanganyika being part of the United Republic of Tanzania, the death penalty, gender equality and whether or not to recognise the government of Zanzibar.
During the recent national constitutional-review forum organised by the Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC), reformists, human right activists and members of the public vowed to fight any attempts by authorities to block writing of the new constitution.
They blamed those in the national-leadership circles for "fear of the unknown" noting that "they think that a new constitution cannot be drafted without bloodshed…this is very wrong. Writing of new constitution can be done peacefully."
In April this year, the National Assembly withdrew the widely criticised Constitutional Review Bill, 2011 and gave more time for public consultations and contributions following criticism of its contents and language, among others.
Speaker of the National Assembly, Anne Makinda said her office respected the opinions of the public and stakeholders.
The Bill which was tabled in the house under a certificate of urgency, attracted fierce criticism from academicians, students, legislators, government leaders and other stakeholders from Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar, all of them criticising the draft Bill as "unfriendly and undemocratic.
The public hearings in Dodoma, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar were marred by exchange of bitter words, chaos and use of live bullets by police."

Mass media are commonly referred to as the Fourth Estate in the same way that civil society has come to be characterized as the Fifth Column. This logically follows the doctrine of separation of powers in democratic societies whereby the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary are known to be the first three estates, or columns.
The essence of this arrangement is that the different 'estates of power' exercise checks and balances which enable a country to be democratically governed.
Democratic governance in this case means no single authority in a country is bestowed with unlimited powers to make arbitrary decisions that are likely to affect the welfare of citizens or the development of a country.
No wonder most dictatorial governments of the world have tended to wind up in chaos and retrogression after single-minded, strong-handed dictators armed with absolute powers became the legislature, the judiciary, the media and the voice of the people all rolled into one.
The natural consequence of such arrangement has been wanton abuse of office, abuse of human rights and freedoms, pillaging of a country's resources as well as impoverishment of more and more citizens.
While democratic governance appears to offer concrete solution to badly governed societies this does not happen automatically, particularly in young democracies in Africa which were forced by Big Brother to adopt liberal democracy.
What has been occurring in toddler democracies is a vicious process of negotiations among 'estates of power' in sharing the 'spoils' of power – as opposed to improving governance.
It does appear evident that even 'good intentions' of imported concepts such as PPP (Public-Private Partnership) may not necessarily yield the intended results because the vicious negotiations alluded to above tend to get in the way of serving individuals' interests.
It is therefore not unlikely that even pluralistic, multiparty democracies that are anchored on the doctrine of separation of powers can turn out to be as dictatorial as the old regimes because the vicious negotiations in the process of democratization have the potential to produce democratic dictatorship.
What happens in this case is that the elite get together and conspire to capture state power. Once they have captured state power they enter into the process of 'vicious negotiations' with those who can serve their interests better in the legislature, in the judiciary, in the media and even in the civil society.
While from the surface a country would appear to be democratic because of the presence of the five estates of power, which are apparently separate, in essence they tend to be one and in tune with their personal interests.
And while institutions set up to assess the progress of democratization may be concerned with generic criteria – i.e. separate estates of power which happen to be in place anyway - the truth of the matter is that a dictatorial democracy would be viciously operating.
It is indeed in this way that the aspirations and dreams of the vast majority of citizens would continue to be raped by the new form of elite dictatorship in toddler democracies until such a time when genuine conditions emerge to necessitate a revolution by the marginalized.
Once the vast majority begin to realise that there is a conspiracy of the elite against their interests; when their land is grabbed away from them by force; when they are robbed of their cash crop incomes in dubious arrangements; when they are shot dead by the police because they are demanding for change; when they are used in elections as voters and then neglected for five years; when their voices are being ignored by those who are supposed to listen; when they begin to see with their naked eyes that what their new democracy has created is nothing but a gang of the elite who are seeking to permanently rob them and keep them in check - when finally that happens then the last wave of true democracy shall have arrived.
There is nothing in this column to suggest that this is a new theory about the true essence of democracy. This is rather a sober reflection of historical circumstances that gave birth to all democracies that respect, listen and attend to the wishes and aspirations of all the citizens.

Even though America voted for her, it was still a disappointing night in Hollywood for Katrina Parker. The singer from Holly Ridge in Onslow County was eliminated from NBC's 'The Voice.' Tony Lucca, her competition on Team Adam, beat her for a spot in the final four. America actually voted for Katrina, but the margin was not big enough to beat Adam Levine's decision to go with Lucca.
Parker was one of eight contestants hoping to advance to the finals next week. Viewers voted after Monday night's performances for their favorite singers. The votes were revealed Tuesday.
Katrina Parker's family was in Los Angeles with her.
You can catch the finalé on WITN Monday May 8th at 9:00 p.m.

Gasoline is a business in Liberty City in 2001, either a gas retailer or a clothing company (based on the real-life "Diesel" brand). Ads can be seen all over the city, most of them being in Belleville Park and Newport. The company was called "Petrol" in the beta version. The slogan is Gasoline, for youth on the move.
- When looked at from far, some Gasoline signs say "Petrol", but it turns into "Gasoline" when you get closer.

text: Yesterday it was announced on Minnesota Public Radio that the Artists' Quarter jazz club located in St. Paul is closing at the end of year—on New Year's Eve to be exact. The owner and jazz drummer Kenny Horst cites a recent hike in rent as the main reason for the closing. The club is well-known as one of the last pure jazz clubs in the Upper Midwest. Its closing highlights a growing concern among jazz artists and jazz purists: a lack of opportunities to perform and enjoy real jazz. The AQ, as it is affectionately known by many of its fans, opened in 1977; the establishment closed in 1990, then reopened under Horst's leadership in 1995. Continue Reading →

Norton, Massachusetts (Sports Network) - Sergio Garcia put together a 6-under
65 on Sunday to extend his lead to two shots after three rounds of the
Deutsche Bank Championship.
Garcia, an 8-time winner on the PGA Tour, ended 54 holes at 19-under-par 194.
He matched the tournament's 54-hole scoring record that Louis Oosthuizen set
last year.
Henrik Stenson carded a 66 to move into second place at minus-17. Steve
Stricker and Graham DeLaet had two of the best rounds of the day, which helped
them soar into a share of third.
Stricker eagled the last for an 8-under 63, while DeLaet birdied five of the
last seven for a 9-under 62. They are tied at 16-under 197 at TPC Boston.
PGA Championship winner Jason Dufner (66) and Roberto Castro (68) share fifth
place at minus-15.
The round was completed in near darkness after a lengthy weather delay earlier
in the day. Some players had started their third rounds, but the long stoppage
forced officials to erase that play and have players go out in threesomes of
split tees.
Otherwise, the round would not have finished on Sunday. And with more bad
weather forecast for Monday, final round tee times have been moved up in an
effort to beat that weather.

Well, that's a tough question I think. Depends on a person's aptitude I suspect. (Both for the artistic side and the technical if we are talking digitally). How many skills carry over from other areas as well.
For example a draftsman will probably make really awesome town and building maps just because his drafting skills will be handy.
I imagine you mean for someone going from scratch to amazing however. And to that I can offer a couple thoughts that should be taken as worth a grain of salt.
First of all I might just say there are some folks who may never get the knack because they don't have the patience and drive to build up the skills. Possibly they are not great at designing or visualizing, I don't know. It is also art and that tends to be really subjective. What one group of folks thinks is fantastic another will detest. That's just the nature of the beast.
I believe Ascension, who is famous on these boards but sadly absent the last few months, said it took him a couple years before he was satisfied with what he produced. I don't really know what skills he had prior to coming here though, so I'm not sure what his "two years" means.
Speaking for myself, it's taken me a couple years as well to produce what I am doing now. I had artistic abilities but had never really tried to developed them. I had zero experience doing anything artistic on the PC and had never used any kind of digital art package. I learned on GIMP and only about 4 months ago switched over to Photoshop. That is a tool I'm still getting used to. Like you, I still feel like I'm getting better each time. For me, it's a combination of mastering the tools I am working with (oh yeah, I also got a Intous tablet roughly 4 maps ago), learning how to construct a map (Mountains, rivers, climates), and so on. I'm still working on labeling skills. Also, I would say that nothing is old hat to me yet, in other words there is still some portion of experiment in everything I create because much of the time I'm not sure how I'm going to depict everything.
I'm still learning and thank goodness, because if I weren't I'd probably get bored real fast and move onto something else. I think the first map I was pretty happy with was around the 1 year mark. Also, it's worth mentioning that I only get to do this some evenings and when I have free time not taken up with other family responsibilities. If I had more time to spend at this it might have only taken months instead of years.
That's my two cents anyway.

- "You know nothing, Jon Snow."
- ―Ygritte
Ygritte is a recurring character in the second season. She is played by Rose Leslie. Ygritte is a woman of the Free Folk who lives north of the Wall. She is part of the force under the leadership of Mance Rayder, the King-Beyond-the-Wall.
Ygritte is a beautiful and cunning Free Folk with a quick wit and, resilient attitude. Her most distinctive physical feature is her long red colored hair. Living north of the Wall, she is well skilled in survival and is loyal to the cause of Mance Rayder. She values her status as a free woman, and disparages those that live south of the Wall for accepting oaths of fealty. Having a keen understanding of men, she is not hesitant to turn things in her favor using her sexuality.
Ygritte believes that because Wildlings and Northerners are both descended from the First Men, there is no need for them to be fighting, and that only the Wall divides them. As with other Wildlings, Ygritte understands that the real threat lies with the impending invasion of the White Walkers.[1][2]
Season 2
Ygritte is captured by Jon Snow and Qhorin Halfhand as the sole survivor of their assault on her watchpost. She instructs her captors to burn the bodies, but Qhorin questions her motives, he then instructs Jon to execute her telling him to catch up with them after the deed is done. Calling Jon a bastard to agitate him, Ygritte begs Jon to get it over with and awaits the stroke from his sword, but he cannot bring himself to do it. His hesitation allows her to escape, but Jon recaptures her, separating from his brothers in the process. With night approaching, Jon refuses to make a fire, forcing them to sleep out in the cold. Ygritte convinces him to huddle next to her to share body warmth. She then unsuccessfully makes sexual advances towards Jon.[3]
After a cold night Ygritte and Jon continue on to catch up with Qhorin Halfhand. On the way she argues with Jon about who invades whose lands, saying that the Wildlings were here long before the southerners (the Andals) came. Jon proclaims that being Ned Stark's son, he has the blood of the First Men, whom the Northerners and Wildlings are both descended from. Ygritte counters that it therefore doesn't make sense for the people of the North to fight the Wildlings, and the only difference between them is that the Northerners "put up a big Wall" and said the land was theirs, and the Wildlings just happened to be living North of the Wall at the time. She furthermore mocks Jon's sexual inexperience and the oath of the Night's Watch, and taunts him by offering to teach him how to have sex. She manages to escape again, and leads him into an Wildling ambush.[4]
Ygritte brings Jon to the Lord of Bones who orders him executed. She convinces him that Mance will want to question Jon because of his Stark blood. The Lord of Bones has a prisoner of his own; Qhorin. The Halfhand tells Jon that the rest of the men were killed while they searched for him and angrily knocks Jon over. Ygritte is intrigued by the bad feeling between them
During their way to meet with Mance Rayder, Ygritte playfully mocks Jon by tapping him on the back of the head with the flat side of his sword, Longclaw. Jon responds by saying she looks like a "baby with a rattle" and that she has "never swung a sword". Qhorin advances his plans of portraying Jon Snow as a traitor to the Night's Watch by attacking him. The Lord of Bones allows them to battle, and Ygritte passes Jon his sword. During the exchange, Jon slays Qhorin, who recites the oath of the Night's Watch to Jon in his last breath. Ygritte and the rest of the band are stunned. Jon's hands are freed, and he and Ygritte stand before Mance Rayder's encampment.[5]

In the books
In A Song of Ice and Fire, Ygritte is a Wildling spearwife in the force led by Mance Rayder. She is described as skinny, but well-muscled with a round face and a pug nose. Due to the rough life north of the Wall she has crooked teeth (as do many Wildlings). Her most distinctive feature is her fiery red hair. The Wildlings consider red hair and those who have it to be "kissed by fire", a sign of great luck and fortune.

Winky was a freed female House-elf who neither wanted freedom nor took to being a free elf. She was employed at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when released from the Crouch family where for years, Winky had been devoted to Bartemius Crouch Sr. The elder Barty Crouch sacked Winky when she was found holding a wand in suspicious circumstances, which not only publicly associated him with Dark magic, but demonstrated that her guardianship of his son might be unreliable.
Serving the Crouch family
Winky was dedicated to her master, Barty Crouch Sr. and his family. Barty Crouch Senior's son, Barty Crouch Jr. was a convicted Death Eater who had been smuggled out of Azkaban by his father, and replaced by his terminally ill mother, disguised by using the Polyjuice Potion, as her last, dying wish. It was Winky's duty to take care of Barty Crouch Jr., who had been placed under the Imperius Curse by his father to prevent him from running away, which she did loyally and in secret, for years.
As a reward for his son's good behaviour, Crouch Sr. reserved a seat at the 1994 Quidditch Cup between Ireland and Bulgaria for Winky and himself, and allowed his son to take his seat under the concealment of an Invisibility Cloak. Winky used her magic so that she and Crouch Jr. were magically bound to one another, so he could not escape. Following a riot instigated by Death Eaters at the camp grounds of the Quidditch Cup, Crouch Jr. was able to fight the Imperius curse and gain some control over himself. He was able to drag Winky away with him, towards the woods, and cast the Dark Mark (the sign of Lord Voldemort) into the sky during the attack. Winky and Crouch Jr. were then both stunned by Ministry officials. When searching the woods, they could only find Winky's stunned body with the wand Crouch Jr. had used to cast the curse, as Crouch Jr. was still under the Invisibility Cloak and out of sight.
The Ministry of Magic Officials then revived Winky and blamed her for casting the Dark Mark with the wand, despite Winky claiming she didn't know how to. Though he indignantly claimed that blaming Winky was implying that she learned how to do such a thing at his own home, Crouch Sr. freed Winky to avoid associating himself with the Dark Mark, and as it was apparent to him Winky's guardianship of his son was unreliable. Barty Crouch Sr's treatment of Winky led Hermione Granger to create the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare (S.P.E.W.).
Winky fell into a state of depression after being fired by her master, and started drinking Butterbeer regularly, which contained very little alcohol, but was apparently potent for a house-elf. Dobby, a friend of Harry Potter and former servant of the Malfoy family, was able to get her a job at Hogwarts working in the kitchens, though she was still attached to her former masters and had no interest in doing any work. She did not do much work, but took to sitting on a stool by the fireplace getting drunk. The other House-Elves were embarrassed by her self-pity, though Dobby attempted to take care of and looked out for her. Occasionally, Dobby would put Winky in a bed he had found inside the Room of Requirement when she was extremely drunk. Winky was later distressed to find out her former master Barty Crouch Sr. had been murdered, and she was completely devastated to learn that Barty Crouch Jr. had committed the murder himself.
Battle of Hogwarts
Winky slowly improved over the years but continued to drink heavily. She kept her job at Hogwarts, and participated in the Battle of Hogwarts along with the other House-elves, led by Kreacher, against the Death Eaters[1].
Later life
After the war, Winky would continue to work at Hogwarts and would eventually stop her Butterbeer addiction (although she never fully recovered from it).[1] However, it is unknown if she ever got over the losses suffered by the Crouch family.
Bartemius Crouch Sr.
- "You is not insulting my master, miss! You is not insulting Mr. Crouch! Mr. Crouch is a good wizard, miss! Mr. Crouch is right to sack bad Winky!"
- —Winky still showing respect for her old household.[src]
Like most house-elfs, Winky saw her master Barty Crouch, Sr. as a being to be treated with the utmost respect. She willingly followed his orders to watch after Barty Crouch, Jr., and held no ill will against him for firing her when she failed in those duties. Quite the contrary, she had trouble acknowledging that she was now a free elf under employ of Hogwarts, and still referred to Crouch, Sr. as her master. The pain of not being able to serve him any longer led her to sink into a Butterbeer-fueled depression she would never truly recover from. She was devastated when she heard that Crouch, Sr. was "ill", and even more so when she learned he had been murdered by his own son.
Barty Crouch, Jr.
- "Nooo! Master Barty, Master Barty, what is you saying?""
- —Winky during Barty Crouch Jr. confession.[src]
Winky took care of her master after his escape from Azkaban, the wizard prison in secret. She was very faithful and felt great affection to him. Winky escorted him to the Top Box at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, pretending to be saving a seat for Barty Crouch, Sr., while Barty Crouch, Jr, watched the match from under an Invisibility Cloak. His real intention, though, was not to view the match, but to cast the Dark Mark, the sign of Lord Voldemort, into the sky afterwards. He stole the wand of Harry Potter, then after casting the Mark into the sky, he thrust it into Winky's hands, making her look guilty. This caused Winky to be fired by Barty Crouch Sr.
During Barty Crouch, Jr's confession to impersonating Mad-Eye Moody to put Harry Potter's name into the Goblet of Fire, Winky became quite distressed. She did not want to believe that her beloved master had committed such acts of evil, and took the news horribly.
- Winky: "Did sir just call me Dobby?"
- Harry Potter: "Sorry. I just thought you were someone I know."
- Winky: "But I knows Dobby too, sir!"
- — Harry Potter and Winky discuss their mutual acquaintance.[src]
Dobby and Winky had met sometime prior to the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, and were apparently on good enough terms for Winky to be informed on his current whereabouts. Dobby may have considered Winky a friend, as he offered to assist her in finding a new job at Hogwarts after she was sacked by the Crouch family, and seemed to be the only Hogwarts house-elf that cared that she was suffering from a Butterbeer addiction.
Winky, on the other hand, did not seem to like Dobby much. She was appalled at the fact that he was receiving wages for his work at Hogwarts, and that he was so willing to speak ill of his former masters. If she was grateful for the care and kindness Dobby showed her, she didn't seem to outwardly show it.
Physical appearance
Being a female house-elf, Winky was considerably smaller than humans. She had bat-like ears, a tomato-sized nose and huge brown eyes. Her voice was even higher than Dobby's.
When Winky was still working for Barty Crouch Sr, she wore a tea-towel draped like a toga. After her dismissal, she wore a skirt and blouse with a matching blue hat. During her period of depression, however, her clothes were stained and burned.
Personality and traits
Like all house-elves, she used present-tense singular verbs and referred to herself in the third person. With permission from her masters, she used her elf magic, a form of powerful, wandless magic that differs from the powers of wizards and witches.
Despite being dismissed, Winky retained her loyalty towards her old masters, especially Barty Crouch Sr. She had traditional views about house-elves and considered being set free or being paid disgraceful. She also was very caring to Barty Crouch Jr, as his usual keeper, though Barty Jr thought she cared for him mostly out of pity and her sense of duty. When Winky discovered that Barty Jr killed Barty Sr, she was horrified and devastated.
Winky also suffered from acrophobia, a fear of heights. However, for her master, she was willing to overcome this fear, even though she did so with great difficulty and had to cover her eyes.
Behind the scenes
- Winky is one of the characters that does not appear in the films.
- Although Winky does not make an appearance in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, concept art for her has been made and released to the public.
- Winky has decent magical ability, able to magically bind Barty Crouch Jr. to her and restrain him from escaping during the Riot at the Quidditch World Cup.
- J.K. Rowling stated in an interview that unfortunately Winky would never fully recover from her addiction to Butterbeer.[2]
- In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film), one can see two house elves riding llamas at Roberts's campsite. One of them could, possibly, be Winky, while the other resembles Dobby.

Twiga Stars are expected to shift their residential training camp from the Ruvu National Service military base to Dar es Salaam today preparing for the African Women Championship preliminary round second leg tie against Namibia.
The national ladies football team defeated Namibia 2-0 in the first leg played at the Sam Nujoma Stadium in Windhoek on January 14 and the second leg will be held at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Sunday.
Twiga Stars head coach Boniface Mkwasa told The Guardian that the team will shift from Ruvu and face a side formed by Members of Parliament (Bunge) today at the Karume Memorial Stadium starting at 04:00pm.
According to the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) media officer, Boniface Wambura, the legislators will play the recreational match against Twiga Stars before presenting their donation to the national women's soccer team.
According to the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) media officer, Boniface Wambura, the legislators will play the recreational match against Twiga Stars before presenting their donation to the national women's soccer team.
While in Dar es Salaam, Twiga Stars will also use the opportunity to experience the National Stadium's pitch which will be used for the AWC qualifier.
Mkwasa said he has already informed the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) to ask the government to allow his players to use the pitch for two days – today and tomorrow - to be familiar with it before the Sunday's encounter with Namibia.
"We planned to let our players be familiar with the pitch, otherwise we all can be foreigners in our own stadium on Sunday.
"It will not be possible to train on the pitch on Saturday because of the Premier League match (Young Africans v JKT Ruvu) and also Confederation of African Football (CAF) rules stipulate that only visitors (Namibia) will be allowed to use the stadium one day before the match," said Mkwasa.
Mkwasa also said he was happy that there was no illness or injuries in his squad up to yesterday's evening and they have been training for four hours daily.
"Everything is okay in the squad. We have two training sessions daily, in the morning and evening. I have no injuries. We only urge more football stakeholders to help the team so that all preparation woes that the team is facing can be solved as promised by our legislators who will present their donation today," added Mkwasa.
The coach also urged soccer fans to come in large numbers to cheer Twiga Stars on Sunday.
According to the TFF's media officer, the lowest entry fee for the African Women Championship qualifier on Sunday will be 2,000/- for the blue and green stands.
Wambura also said children under 10 years of age will pay 1,000/- each, but the children will be required to accompany their parents or guardians at the stadium.
Other entry fees for the match will be 3,000/- for orange stands, 5,000/- for VIP B and C stands, and 10,000/- for VIP A stands.

Summary:A young boy lies awake in his room one snowy Christmas Eve, excited and alert. Breathing silently. Hardly moving. Waiting. He's listening for a sound he's afraid that he might never hear--the ringing bells of Santa's sleigh. The time is five minutes to midnight. Suddenly, the boy is startled by a thunderous roar. Clearing the mist from his window he sees the most amazing sight--a gleaming black train rumbles to a stop right in front of his house, the steam from its powerful engine hissing through the night sky and the softly falling snowflakes. The boy rushes outside, clad only in his pajamas and slippers, and is met by the train's conductor who seems to be waiting just for him. "Well, are ... Full Summary >>

Comments On Nov 23, 2013:Replaced my 5 year old Fox protector (too many crashes) for a new one. The fit is not comfortable, it rides to high. The right side buckle had to be forced in and now will not release. The left side takes a lot of work to push in and release.

A Johnston County man who allegedly kidnapped and duct taped a man last week was arrested.
Wayne County Deputies charged 39-year-old Jerry Mason of Kenly with second degree kidnapping.
Deputies said the victim was kidnapped last Thursday from a home on Ivey Lane in Pikeville and taken to another home in Fremont.
Fremont Police were in the area of Aycock Street on another call when they came in contact with the suspects.
Officers then discovered the victim at the Fremont home, bound at his arms and legs with duct tape and covered in spray paint.
The victim was released and called in to be interviewed and identify suspects.
After the follow up interview, Mason was arrested and placed at a $75,000 bond.
Deputies said the kidnapping is still under investigation and more arrests are expected to be made.
