Interview and Giveaway with author Jeaniene Frost
We are very excited and thrilled to have author Jeaniene Frost stop by Paranormal Haven. We are both huge fans of her Night Huntress and Night Huntress World books so it is a real pleasure to have Jeaniene with us.
Jeaniene Frost: Thank you so much for having me, and thanks for your patience with this interview.
PH: Why write paranormal books?
JF: I've always been drawn to the paranormal, even back when I was a child. I'd sneak to watch horror movies – most of which had a paranormal element – and search for books with a supernatural twist to them, which was easier said than done. There wasn't a big selection of paranormal books when I was growing up, which is why I started reading adult books at a very young age. With the amazing paranormal selection in both Middle Grade and Young Adult markets today, kids and teens have no idea how great they have it. Heh, someone stop me before I start talking about walking uphill to school both ways next 😉
PH: What is the most difficult part of writing?
JF: The business aspect. I have some tough days writing, sure, but what makes me want to pull my hair out usually falls under the "author" hat, not the "writer" one. You're running your own business as an author, and with any business, there's so many different things to handle, all at the same time that you're trying to write the next book. I had no idea of this when I first published, so I'm still trying to learn how to juggle everything.
PH: Aside from vampires, is there any other paranormal creature you would like to write a series about?
JF: Well, in my books, I also have ghouls, ghosts, demons, and magic, so I like writing about all those things, too. I did a short story with werewolves a while back and really enjoyed that as well. As long as it's weird and supernatural, chances are, I'll want to write about it.
PH: Do any of your characters give you a hard time while writing?
JF: YES. Many of them do. I'll highlight Kira as a specific example because she's the heroine of my upcoming novel. When I thought up the story for Eternal Kiss of Darkness, I already knew my hero, Mencheres, very well because he'd been a side character in several books already. I thought I knew all about my heroine, Kira, and I had the main plot of the book figured out. So I figured it would be a breeze to write – until I actually started writing it.
*cue me being unable to complete the first chapter for over a month* When I'd try to write scenes with Kira, it was like pulling teeth. Since Eternal Kiss is written in both Mencheres and Kira's points of view, I couldn't just show her through actions and dialog; I had to be in her head. And despite several starts and stops, an outline, and knowing all the facts about Kira's background, I just wasn't in her head. It finally occurred to me that the problem boiled down to a cliché Hollywood question – what's my motivation? Or in this case, Kira's motivation. I thought I knew what was driving her, and it turned out I was ALL WRONG. Once I figured out what motivated Kira, she really came together for me as a character. Words started spilling onto the page and her scenes with Mencheres had all the sizzle they'd been lacking. It was such a relief – and funny at the same time. Kira wasn't about to let me write her "wrong", no matter how hard I tried at first 😉
PH: What is the difference between your Night Huntress series and your Night Huntress World series?
JF: The biggest difference would be that the Night Huntress series follows the same protagonists, Cat and Bones, through several books. The Night Huntress World series consists of stand-alone novels, which means the protagonists are for that book only. First Drop of Crimson was Spade and Denise's story, but Eternal Kiss of Darkness is Mencheres and Kira's story. Spade, Denise, Mencheres, and Kira will still all appear as side characters again in the Night Huntress series, but I have no plans to give them their own separate books again.
PH: Your upcoming release, Eternal Kiss of Darkness (Night Huntress World, book 2), will be out July 27th. Can you tell us about it?
JF: As I mentioned, this book features Mencheres and Kira as the hero/heroine. Night Huntress readers already know Mencheres is one of the most powerful vampires in existence, but lately, he's lost his ability to see the future. Now that Mencheres can't see what's about to happen, he has enemies crawling out of the woodwork to come after him since this is their best chance to destroy him.
Kira is a Chicago private investigator trying to work her way up to more significant cases. She intervenes in what she thinks is a regular mugging and ends up witnessing a ghoul attack on Mencheres. Knowing Kira had seen too much, Mencheres takes her with him, but erasing her memory proves more difficult than he imagined. If Kira repeats what she knows about the undead to others, Mencheres's enemies have even more ammunition against him. But keeping Kira with him to protect the secrecy of his race soon proves even more dangerous when Mencheres realizes he's falling for her.
PH: Will Cat and Bones be making an appearance?
JF: Cat and Bones are both in Eternal Kiss of Darkness, as well as Vlad and several new characters.
PH: Is there a character's book you are not looking forward to writing?
JF: No. If I wasn't looking forward to featuring a character as a protagonist, then I wouldn't write a book about him/her. If I can't even get excited about a character and story, how could I expect any readers to once it was out?
PH: If you had to pick between spending a day alone with Vlad or Ian, which would you choose?
JF: Probably Vlad. He's tougher than Ian, but Vlad doesn't do anything without a reason, so I'd feel more likely to come out of that day alive and with my sanity intact. Ian? I love him as a character, but Ian does what Ian likes – and he has a warped sense of humor. Ian might think it was fun to mesmerize me into spending the day barking like a dog and eating grass, or other countless things that I wouldn't find humorous. Vlad would consider it beneath him to mess with a human like that, so the worst Vlad would probably due was mesmerize me into thinking I was mute so I wouldn't keep asking him questions.
PH: What do you think of all the talk about One Foot In the Grave's famous chapter 32? Did you ever expect one chapter to be so popular?
JF: Never in a million years. I wrote that chapter (and book) before I even started trying to sell Halfway to the Grave, so I never thought it would see the light of day. When the book sold, I asked my agent how much of it I should censor for public viewing. She said to let my editor decide. Before I sent her the book, I warned my editor that a certain scene was extremely graphic and it needed to be trimmed, but I'd let her decide what was okay for public viewing and what wasn't. My editor, when she sent the book back to me, edited not one word of the content for Chapter 32. I was stunned. I even tried to go back and take out, ah, certain aspects of it out, but she refused and said it was staying as it was. At publication, I was certain I'd get outraged reader emails telling me I'd crossed a line, or that my sales would suffer as a result, but, ahem. As you can guess, that didn't happen.
Sure, some people didn't care for it, but I was shocked that they were the minority. One of the most memorable complaints I read about that chapter was a review saying it was OBVIOUS that I was under thirty because only a very young, dumb author would assume any woman over thirty would find that disgusting scene sexy. As I was well over thirty when I wrote the book, and many of my readers who loved the scene were over thirty, too, that amused me.
Ph: How did you come up with Bones? Was there anything that inspired you while creating him? JF: Well, I've loved vampires since I was a child horrifying my parents because I kept rooting for Dracula to defeat the "evil" VanHelsing, lol. As a teen – and I KNOW this dates me – I was a huge Billy Idol fan, so there you get Bones's English accent and the platinum hair he has in book one. Bruce Campbell's portrayal of Ash in Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness accounts for some of Bones's attitude, and who didn't sigh over Viggo Mortensen's gorgeous, chiseled cheekbones in Lord of the Rings? So you see slivers of those people in Bones. He probably gets some of his wise-ass sense of humor from me, as well as his fear of flying, but Bones really evolved into his own character while I wrote him. The process of writing clues me into so many things about my characters. It's like the difference between first impressions and what someone's really like once you've spent time with him or her.
PH: Will we get to see more of Tate and Juan in future books?
JF: Tate and Juan are both in THIS SIDE OF THE GRAVE, book five of the Night Huntress series. I expect both of them to also appear in book six, but as I just finished five and haven't started six, I don't know how much they'll appear in it yet.
PH: If Cat and Bones could go on a double date with any other fictional couple, who would it be?
JF: That's such a fun question. I'd never be able to come up with only one answer for it myself. Readers, help me out! If you could hook up Cat and Bones on a double date with another fictional couple, who would you most like to see them go out partying with?
PH: Where do you see Cat and Bones in 10 years?
JF: I actually know the answer to that, but I can't tell you, or it would spoiler the end of the series 🙂 Rest assured, every book I write brings them closer to the end I have planned, and while I've promised readers that ending will see Cat and Bones together, I'm not prepared to offer any other hints on what that might entail. Hey, *wink* I don't have the nickname of Evil Author on my fan site for nothing!
That's right, one lucky winner will get a copy of Eternal Kiss Of Darkness sent to you from the author herself. This giveaway is opened internationally. Here is what you will need to do to enter:

It's been over two years since Eminem released his last solo project Recovery, which dropped in 2010. After stating that he had begun work on his eighth solo album last year, Marshall is reportedly deep into the process of recording the LP.
During an interview with Billboard.com, Shady Records president Paul Rosenberg said that Em will release the project post-Memorial Day and that listeners can expect it soon.
"We fully expect to be releasing a new Eminem album in 2013. He's been working on it for some time," he said. "It's safe to say that it will be post-Memorial Day at some point, but we're not exactly sure when. We've got some dates locked in for him to perform live in Europe in August, so we're trying to see what else lines up."
Additionally, Rosenberg reveals that Yelawolf has begun recording his sophomore LP in Nashville, Tennessee and that 50 Cent's Street King Immortal will release in the first half of 2013. He also noted that Slaughterhouse will record the follow up to last year's welcome to: OUR HOUSE after each member releases a solo project.
In October, Eminem hinted that a new album would drop in 2013 by putting the year on a limited edition baseball hat inspired by the Detroit Tigers. In addition to headlining a pair of summer festivals in Reading and Leeds, England, he will executive produce Skylar Grey's debut Don't Look Down.

Over 700 years ago, there stood a great empire, its capital located on the island of Java. An empire so vast and strong, it covered most of Southeast Asia, and stood for hundreds of years. An empire we learn of in history books, yet whose greatness we cannot quite fathom. Little physical evidence of this eminent empire remain, making its existence seem almost fictional. This is the Majapahit Empire.
Majapahit ruled over a large part of this region from Java to Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, Kalimantan and part of Indonesia's eastern islands from 1293 to the 1500s. The Hindu-Buddhist Majapahit kingdom emerged after the fall of the powerful Singosari kingdom, located also in present day East Java.
Trowulan is a district in the province of East Java, where lies Indonesia's only site of what is said to be the ruins of the Great Majapahit Empire. Surrounded by thousands of archaeological remains, Trowulan is regarded as the possible site of the capital city of the Majapahit Empire.
Travelling to this significant place is more than just a vacation, but a journey through the history of a nation. Much can be discovered in Trowulan about the civilization during the Majapahit period, including the government system, trade, foreign affairs, technology, architecture, agriculture, handicraft and art.
The Majapahit Kingdom was established in 1293 AD, after the fall of the Singosari Kingdom. Raden Wijaya was the founder and first king of the Majapahit Empire, who reigned until 1309 AD. The kingdom reached its "Golden Age" under the rule of King Hayam Wuruk and his Prime Minister Gajah Mada, who pledged an oath to unite the archipelago. This was achieved through the organization of local and regional trade networks of rice crops, spices, ceramics and textiles. This also led to the unifying of religions, showing Majapahit as a multicultural nation, with people of various faiths living in harmony.
Trowulan was first discovered in 1817 by Sir Stamford Raffles, who described it as ruins of temples scattered about for miles, though most of the site was then covered in dense teak forest. So fascinated by the site, Raffles later referred to it as "The Pride of Java." Later aerial photographs showed the city engraved with a network of canals running in straight lines across the city, used for drainage as well as water supply.

WELLSBURG - Wheeling Park used big plays offensively, huge hits defensively, and a gigantic effort on special teams to put away Brooke, 52-25, on Friday night at Brooke Memorial Stadium.
Zach Phillips threw for 195 yards and two touchdowns, four Park runners jaunted for scores, and the Patriots defense held the Bruins to 176 yards of offense, half of which came during the second half.
''The effort was really good,'' Park coach Chris Daugherty said. ''We haven't played four good quarters of football yet, but when that day comes I think we're a pretty good football team.
''On the whole, I thought our intensity was good.''
Was it ever.
Phillips hit Eric Banks for a 59-yard touchdown strike on the Patriots' first play from scrimmage and they never looked back.
Phillips scored on a 20-yard run on Park's next possession. And when Quashad Pugh returned a Brooke punt 77 yards to paydirt moments later, Park had a 21-0 lead with 2:19 left in the first quarter.
Meanwhile, Brooke's offense struggled early for the Homecoming crowd, picking up only two first downs during the first 12 minutes.
That changed somewhat during the second quarter when the Bruins used 11 plays to march inside the Park 20. Bobby Moore's 35-yard field goal capped the drive and cut the deficit to 21-3.
Then, on the second half-kickoff, the Bruins caught another break.
Park (3-2) failed to gain control of Moore's boot and Brooke got the ball on the Patriots 1. Justin Loughrie scored on the next play. The conversion failed making the score 21-9.
But Park rebounded with four straight scores, capped by Liam Casey's 20-yard field goal that made it 45-9. Casey was also 7 of 7 on extra points.
Aaron Walker returned the ensuing kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown to make it a 45-16 game. But, three plays later, Theo Blackston, on a third-and-9 play, shot down the field for a 69-yard touchdown to up Park's lead to 52-16.
''I thought our kids did a great job rebounding from last week,'' Daugherty said. ''And it's been a tough week to be a Wheeling Park Patriot. These guys have battled through a lot and I'm just really proud of them.''
Wheeling Park student Kurt Myers died Sunday. His brother, Greg, scored on a 1-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
Daugherty presented the game ball to Greg, a senior, after the game.
''We definitely had heavy hearts for his family and him,'' Daugherty said. ''We wanted to come out and play well for the Myers' and Greg. It was a hard week for our team because our kids care so much about each other and care so much for Greg.''
Alec Buchmelter finished with 100 yards passing for the Bruins, the TD strike going to Heath Hildreth in the fourth quarter.
''We're a lot younger than people realize,'' first-year Brooke coach Sean Blumette said. ''The way the season has unfolded due to injuries, etc., we've been forced to play younger than we are.''
Blumette pointed out two freshmen are starting and, due to injuries, other players are being thrown into the fire earlier than expected.
''In a perfect world we'd like to develop them a little more slowly,'' he said.

Page 1 of 3Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance. It is a building block of body cells and hormones, makes up 50 percent of your nervous system, and is necessary for metabolism. In moderate amounts, it is essential to good health. But the dangers of high cholesterol, including artery blockage and damage, are well-documented. Other studies suggest that very low cholesterol levels can also be harmful and dangerous. The key seems to be making sure your body has enough—but not too much.
Cholesterol comes from two sources:
It might seem obvious, but it can't be emphasized enough. One of the best ways to lower your cholesterol is to track it. Have your doctor perform blood tests regularly so that you can both track your results and progress. Continued ›

5 Amazing Things We Learned From Spider-Man 2 Producer Matt Tolmach
By Sean O'Connell 2013-07-22 14:30:14 comments
The Holy Trinity of The Amazing Spider-Man, at the moment, is Avi Arad, Marc Webb and Matt Tolmach. Oh, they owe everything to Stan Lee and Steve Ditko the creators of Marvels immensely popular superhero. But Arad, Webb and Tolmach are the trio currently driving the current big screen interpretation of Spider-Man, and they came to San Diego Comic-Con with fresh footage and a wealth of information under their arms.
Sony was nice enough to get me a one-on-one interview with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 producer Tolmach during this years Con. We spoke during the initial Amazing Spider-Man press run, when the team was still nervous about introducing a new Peter Parker and a British one, at that, in Andrew Garfield. But given that films success, Tolmach seemed more confident in their shared vision, and more eager to share with fans what they have in store for Spider-Man 2.
Here are the five most interesting things I learned about the ongoing Spider-Man universe from Tolmach.
1. As expected, they are mapping out a much larger Spider-Man Cinematic Universe.
Tolmach spoke about the casting of character actors like Paul Giamatti, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan and Chris Cooper for supporting parts in the upcoming sequel, noting that you do not add these players and waste them on one or two scenes. Were thinking long term, he tells me. As you know, we came out and announced were going to make a third movie and a fourth movie. [So] were seeding a universe.
In our movie, Electro is the villain, Tolmach continued. Hes the focus of what were doing. But how cool is the idea that there are other villains out there? It portends all kinds of trouble for Spider Man down the road [because] Oscorp is this sort of breeding ground for these creatures and these characters. But yes, were world building.

Women Still Earning Less
Four years after Ledbetter Fair Play Act, some say little has changed
January 30, 2013
Four years after the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was signed into law, Census data shows women in West Virginia still earn just 70 cents on average for every $1 paid to a ma....
pro female ?To be pro male is considered old fashion extreme. hm.

Thanks for the advice Wrath, but I already have a masters degree, I am self employed, and I am past the child bearing years. I was responding to your previous comment about women having a "shot" if they dont have children. Since women are the only gender that can bear children, and their financial independence according to your source, is dependent on their being childless, then attempts to prevent women from having abortions is just another attempt at oppression.
Walksabout, I used a coal miner as an example, and I know a few women who have competed for "mens" jobs quite successfully. You are right, mens jobs require strength and they are exposed to crappy circumstances, so are many positions that are primarily women but with a fraction of the pay.
Impossible to compare the CRAP of a job, (physical, mental, dangerous, etc ) but the person has a choice. Steel mills are done and coal mines will be too before long. I am not anit male, just pro female=like to see al

LANHAM, Md. (CBSDC)- A 'Paycheck Fairness Act' introduced in Congress last week would require employers to show pay disparity is related to job-performance and prohibit employer retaliation for sharing salary information with coworkers.
Senator Barbara A. Mikulski and Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, both Democrats, said their legislation is aimed at closing the pay gap between men and women and would also address loopholes in the 1963 Equal Pay Act.
Another DUMMORAT bill to FORCE business to OUTSOURCE to China and Mexico!!!!

Well Bloomin you have a point. My experience it that women with a college degree can OFTEN go further and/or get promoted quicker TODAY because industry is under PRESSURE to show woman in managment and high level positions.
So they have an unfair advantage over men IF they dedicate themselves to a career.
If they take time off to raise a family, they are likely PUNISHED.
But you have a point, the problem is many of the high paying jobs that do NOT require a college degree just require a LOT of physical strength and endurance. Like working 12 hour shifts outdoors in local CRAP weather.
OR climbing 40 story high rise welding steel.
Crawling around thousands of feet below ground controlling heavy equipment.
Sorry, that is just "man" jobs.
STRATEGY: get an education and USE the "promote female" white collar advantage.

Are young women really outearning young men? The news last week was that if you're a young woman without children, you have a shot at making more money than your boyfriend.
"Young, single, childless women out-earn male counterparts," says USA Today; "Workplace Salaries: At Last, Women on Top" says Time.
So THERE!

Most Women do not have the physical ability to do HIGH STEEL, heavy outdoor gas lines, etc. that pay the big bucks.
Also women often do not have the seniority of men in white collar jobs because they take off time to give birth and raise children.
Otherwise they seem to be paid equally for white collars jobs compared with equal education and seniority.

This is a poorly written article!
The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act deals with the issue of EQUAL PAY for EQUAL WORK.
The article goes on to cite census data with regards to the "annual median salary" for men and women in WV and OH to help bolster the writer's claim of continued disparity of pay. PERHAPS A DISPARITY IN "ANNUAL MEDIAN SALARY" EXIST BECAUSE THESE MEN ARE PERFORMING JOBS THAT PAY MORE DUE TO RISK OR A CERTAIN SKILL SET THAT WOMEN DO NOT WISH TO PURSUE, or for some other reason NOT due to discriminatory practices.
The articles writer is comparing apples to oranges.

This new law was no secret when it was passed.ENFORCE THE LAW! Any company found to cheating women on their pay and compensation needs to pay a hefty fine, CEO's need JAIL time, and anyone who knows that a company is stealing from a woman's paycheck and fails to report it to the authorities should do jail time also. If women can now be sent into combat zones then they deserve the same pay that men earn. Jail time is the only answer!!!!

This is so true and needs to change. The inequality is unacceptable in this day and age. Good for her for filing suit, and glad she is in a place that she can earn the same wage as men. Women need to fight for these inequities in many aspects besides pay.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Despite discovering some troubling news midway
through the contest, the Celtics were able to outlast the Miami Heat in Ray
Allen's return to Boston.
Paul Pierce notched a triple-double and put his team ahead for good with a
jumper late in double-overtime, as the Celtics defeated the Heat, 100-98, at
TD Garden.
Mired in an nine-game shooting slump, Pierce broke out on Sunday with 17
points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists for Boston, which played without All-Star
point guard Rajon Rondo and will do so for an extended period of time.
Rondo, who injured his knee in a double-overtime loss to Atlanta on Friday,
was scratched just prior to start of the contest and was sent to a local
hospital for an MRI, which revealed a torn ACL. A surgery date has not yet
been determined.
The Celtics, however, were able to end a season-long six-game losing streak in
receiving 24 points and 11 rebounds from Kevin Garnett. Jason Terry and Jeff
Green added 13 and 11 points, respectively, off the bench in the victory.
LeBron James totaled 34 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists for the Heat,
who had a four-game winning streak snapped. Chris Bosh followed with 16 points
and 16 rebounds, while Dwyane Wade added 17 points and seven assists in
In his first game back in Boston since leaving the Celtics this past summer
for Miami, Allen received a mixed reaction from the crowd during a video
tribute upon his entrance, but scored 21 points off the bench on 7-of-17
shooting for the game.

Bringing Local History to Life:
Fashion Trends and Issues of the mid-1800s to the 1920s
What was life like when you couldn't just go to the mall to shop when you needed a new outfit? Come to the Rum River Library on Saturday, October 13th at 2:00 pm for a look at the history of fashion.
"Like music, the clothing of a time period reflects our values, activities and station in life," said Anoka County Commissioner Robyn West. "This is sure to be an eye-opening presentation."
See the history of clothing worn in the mid to late19th century, following fashions from the sewing machine to ready-made clothing that came through the mail order catalog. Learn how politics, society and etiquette influenced why people dressed the way they did. Period clothing is featured, allowing guests to see a slat bonnet and to feel how stiff corset boning really was. This program is presented by a fashionably dressed woman of 1860, reflecting the era of Minnesota statehood and one of the most recognizable fashion periods of American history.
"Clothing can tell a story," said Library Board Vice President Cathy Montain. "By exploring how people in the past dressed, we can understand more about their lives."
The Rum River Library is located at 4201 6th Avenue in Anoka. This program is free and open to the public, but seating may be limited. The program is a presented by the Anoka County Historical Society, sponsored by the Anoka County Library, and funded with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
For more information about this and other library programs, call 763-576-4695.

Gynecological Cancers
From before puberty to after menopause, a woman's body is constantly changing and developing. And, at each stage of development and maturation, she may have questions about gynecological, reproductive, and sexual health. Thus, it is important that a woman establishes a partnership with her health care provider -- often an OB/GYN (obstetrician/gynecologist), certified nurse midwife, or nurse practitioner -- early on.
Health care providers who specialize in general women's medical care, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the female reproductive system, and care of pregnant women, include obstetricians/gynecologists, who are physicians, and certified nurse midwives and women's health nurse practitioners, who are nurses with advanced education.
Many of the conditions that affect gynecological, reproductive, and sexual health may be detected early, which, in most cases, provides for a more positive prognosis and successful treatment.

I've been experimenting with IIPImage, image server. If anyone else has ever used it, I'm looking for how to serve maps with it, since I don't need a real map server. I've got it working, serving my map but I'd like to have the map legend and such overlay on it's flash viewer window. customize the controls etc.
I'm using Xnview for stitching the map together from 2000x2000 images and imagemagick to convert to pyramidal .tif for IIPImage to serve it
IIPImage can serve images for Deep Zoom composer or Zoomify, plus it has it's own flash object, and some other options. The ultimate goal is to be able to create a world map for the NWN2 server i play on, either by configuring it for the site admins if they like my maps or by just serving it, and my own world map from my netbook using a free DDNS account.
I got everything going including Apache, just need advice on free software to modify the free flash object from the download and any other advice you all can give. I'll post a link in wips i guess, when i get the DDNS set up and everything moved over to the netbook. otherwise the netbook doesn't get used often.

Although their earliest documented use was in the form of rice futures in the 1700s, they have grown in popularity in recent times for hedging known risks, but have also drawn criticism as a tool of speculation. American International Group, for example, lost $18 billion on credit default swaps during the financial crisis.[…] Continue Reading »

I'm curious if people think the money saved by mounting it yourself is worth the effort?
I like to save money where I can - I'd like to put the extra money into the TV itself, but I'm concerned that I'll get halfway into it and wish I'd just paid to have it installed professionally.
Any comments from people who don't have much handyman experience?
Like most around the home DIY tasks, it takes a bit of confidence in yourself to actually commit to doing this sort of work, this is why I'm on the look out for recommendations for an experienced installer! Plus an installer should have insurance in case something goes wrong, the DIYer won't and will be responsible for replacing their TV if it does fall off the wall post install!

Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Klay Thompson had no problem shouldering the
scoring load for Golden State with Stephen Curry out nursing an injured ankle.
Making a career-best six 3-pointers, Thompson set a personal high with 32
points to lead the Warriors to a 108-95 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers
on Tuesday at Quicken Loans Arena. Thompson hit 13-of-24 shots from the
field -- missing just two from long distance -- as Golden State (28-17)
captured its fifth win in seven contests to notch its best start through 45
games since the 1991-92 season. The Warriors were also without Harrison
Barnes (knee), Carl Landry (shoulder) and Andrew Bogut, who returned to
the lineup after a 38-game absence on Monday, but sat to rest his
surgically repaired ankle on the second night of a back-to-back. Jarrett Jack
added 26 points to go with 12 assists and David Lee tallied 20 points, 13
rebounds and eight assists in the victory. Kyrie Irving came into the contest
scorching hot, but scored just 14 points on 5-of-17 shooting for Cleveland,
which saw its three-game winning streak come to an end. He had scored at least
30 in each of his past three games. Tristan Thompson totaled 18 points and
11 rebounds, while Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller finished with 18 and 16
points, respectively, in the setback.
Final Score: Milwaukee 117, Detroit 90
Auburn Hills, MI (Sports Network) - Brandon Jennings tallied 20 of his 30
points in the third quarter as the Milwaukee Bucks downed the Detroit Pistons,
117-90, on Tuesday. The Pistons had a 28-19 advantage after a quarter of
play, but the Bucks outscored Detroit 72-40 over the next two periods to
turn the game into a rout. Mike Dunleavy added 17 points off the bench for
Milwaukee, which has won five of its last six games. Andre Drummond tallied
18 points and a career-high 18 rebounds for the Pistons, who have
dropped three of their last four contests.

MindFinder: Finding Images by Sketching
Project Descriptions
Sketch-based image search is a well-known problem difficult to solve. Little progress has been made in the past decade in developing a large-scale, practical, sketch-based search engine. We have revisited this problem and developed a scalable solution. Based on this solution, we have built a system called MindFinder that indexes more than 2 million web images, enabling efficient, sketch-based image retrieval. MindFinder enables users to sketch major curves of a target image as a query. Based on these sketches, relevant images can be returned in real time. The system also supports the addition of semantic tags and colors to enhance the relevance of search results.
Sketch Match: On 2011-08-17, the app, Sketch Match, was released to WP7 marketplace! It is powered by the MindFinder technology (sketch-based image search), with a well-refined sketch matching game.

When I have a difficult day, I tell myself that sitting on the couch, scrolling through the DVR will make me feel better, relaxed. Except it never does.
Take last Monday, for example. I was in a bad mood, without having any particular reason why. I made dinner, then proceeded to sit on the couch for the rest of the night, watching Revenge and working on the newsletter for an organization that I volunteer for. Then I used my iPhone to read an ebook, nothing of substance of course.
By the end of the night, I felt sluggish and depressed. I wondered if I had seasonal affective disorder. After all, I only see daylight during my morning commute. My office doesn't have a window, and by the time I leave at 5 p.m., the sun has already set.
But it didn't add up. I did have a loss of interest in activities, but it wasn't constant. And I definitely wasn't sleeping more often or feeling anti-social.
I thought about something that a therapist once told me – exercise can help to fight through depression. I knew the truth of his statement, since walking every day in the summer had caused a turnaround in my moods. But now that winter is here, my motivation to enjoy the outdoors is non-existent.
Last Tuesday, I tried an experiment. After work, I didn't let myself sit down for four hours. I ate dinner standing up. I worked on the computer standing up. I even cleaned the apartment. And I didn't feel sluggish at all. In fact, my energy increased as time went on. I tackled things on my to-do list that I'd been putting off for days. Thanks to my success, I now have a no-sitting policy after work; if I'm home, I'm standing.
According to US News, sitting all day can result in depression, obesity and even cancer. Standing can help to get the body moving again. "If you can perform a behavior while sitting or standing, I would choose standing," said Marc Hamilton, Ph.D. to Science Daily.
DIY Alternatives to Expensive Standing DesksSince most of my leisure time is spent on the computer, elevating my workspace has become instrumental in getting me to stand up. I work at an IKEA table with adjustable legs that are set to their tallest height, and I set my laptop on a stack of books to bring it to eye level.
Other people have used Rubbermaid containers, stools or endtables to raise up their computers. Check out the Huffington Post's slideshow to see their set-ups.
Would you consider elevating your workspace? If you've already done so, what have you used?

With the newer PCs having UEFI protected boot systems you have to know your PC to see if USB booting is even possible anymore.
Dear Experts
I tried to created a bootable USB drive for AVG by following the instructions below :
To create a USB flash drive variant of AVG Rescue CD, you will need to do the following:
1- Extract the archive downloaded from AVG web directly on the removable USB flash drive. It has to be extracted in the root folder of the disk - do not use a subfolder.
2- Run the extracted makeboot.bat batch file. When started it will overwrite the boot record. Make sure you are using the desired USB flash drive, otherwise it can make your Windows un-bootable!
3- In the opened window press any key to prepare the USB flash drive.
4- After this process is finished (message will be displayed) you can close the window.
When I downloaded the specified AVG program to my USB and extracted it, I couldn't find the file named :makeboot.bat (as stated in the quote above),,,I found a file called : setup.exe
I just want to confirm if I am following the right procedure

Jessica Lee. The "Best Yearbook Quote" Award definitely goes to Jessica Lee. Her yearbook quote "Fluorine uranium carbon potassium bismuth technetium helium sulfur germanium thulium oxygen neon yttirum" seems innocent enough. Are we applauding her for her enthusiastic show of the periodic table? No, not necessarily. A closer look at her quote shows quite a different story. Decoded, it reads as:
(F) flourine (U) uranium (C) carbon (K) potassium (Bi) bismuth (Tc) technetium (He) helium (S) sulfur (Ge) germanium (Tm) thulium (O) oxygen (Ne) neon (Y) yttrium
And there you have it! Innocent elements of the periodic table turned into Notorious B.I.G. lyrics. Quite different from your average sentimental highschool yearbook quote, but then those didn't win the award.

In Search of Diversity, Taste and Tradition
May. 22, 2014
I've been cheating lately on my intimate relationship—the one I have with Italian food. As a master student at the University of Gastronomic Sciences, I have an unfailing passion for food and relish the opportunity to indulge in the incredible Italian cuisine that surrounds me. Yet for dinner last week I swapped out eggy tajarin al ragù for Israeli shakshuka and challah, and a few days later, I opted not to have a morning cappuccino and freshly baked cornetto at the local Caffè Converso, in exchange for a Hungarian chocolate pastry called kakaós csiga. Should I feel ashamed? The traditionalists I live amongst in the town of Bra may question these out-of-the ordinary foods, but here at UNISG, it is all part of the learning experience.
A Preview of Carlo Petrini's Latest Book: Cibo e libertà (Food and Freedom)
May. 21, 2014
The New Oxford American Dictionary defines "gastronomy" as "the practice or art of choosing, cooking, and eating good food." Carlo Petrini reckons that, in its thirty-year history, Slow Food has—at first unwittingly, then consciously—reformulated the meaning not only of the word but also of its practical and theoretical implications. He explains how in his impassioned new book "Cibo e libertà", to be published this Fall in English as "Food and Freedom".
We Are Not Luddites
May. 21, 2014
In the SFUSA Food News we have featured a number of recent articles that address the shrill and troubling tone that accompanies the GMO debate. Our side sends out plumes of smoke to alert consumers to the dangers of polluting our food supply with untested and unproven GMOs. The other side accuses us of Malthusian desires to starve the planet. Though we may find the science that supports our side compelling, it is safe to say that consensus about the safety of eating foods that contain GMOs does not yet exist. Consider what is to be learned from global warming debates. Overwhelming consensus among scientists about rising temperatures persists. And yet, the public relations campaigns to stymie policy changes have kept meaningful change at bay.

There is a really good article in Elk Hunter magazine I just got in the mail that overviews all the big boot manufactures.
Not sure if it was on this forum or not Danny, but there has been some major issues with customer service for crispi. Something to consider if you are wanting to order boots before you try them on.
One of the lineman on my crew at Par had the Kenetreks and loved them. Heard really good things about Lowas as well. I have the Meindl Denalis and love them. It's all about what fits you. Good luck.
Thanks Grant, From what I have researched the last couple of days I will be going with the Kenetreks or Lowas. I think I am heading up in a couple of weeks to put the cameras out and do some shedding. Whats your schedule look like?
labman, I haven't received mine in the mail yet, thanks for the heads up!
Working every weekend till the middle of June except memorial weekend and we will be at clearlake.
I think I will be heading up Thursday night and coming home Friday night or Saturday morning on Memorial weekend, Have fun at Clearlake.
I own the Crispi Nevadas. They are the most comfortable boots I own. I have synergy footbeds in them. I've tried the Meindls and the Kennetreks also. Like others have said, try several different brands and see what fits your feet the best. I really like my Crispi's. They are very well made. I think scheels will be selling them in June if you want to try them on.

Relocating Rear Shocks For 1967-1969 Camaros & Firebirds - Shock JockeyingWritten by on January 1, 1999 Relocating Rear Shocks Solves An Age-Old Camaro Tire Clearance Problem
While the first-generation Camaro was every bit the equal of the Mustang in terms of engineering, performance enthusiasts and hot rodders everywhere immediately asked, "Why did they put the rear shock absorbers on the outside of the framerails?"
No doubt, it was part of a well-thought plan to minimize squat and roll characteristics. The problem is that the shocks are already in very close proximity to the sidewalls of the meager factory-issue rubber. So slicks or wider-than-stock wheels make contact problems inevitable. Over the past 32 years, hot rodders have found ways around this problem by using deep-dish, positive-offset wheels or (gulp!) aluminum spacers.
Now, there's a neat new kit for the '67-'69 Camaro/Firebird, which relocates the shocks inboard where they should have been in the first place. To evaluate this new offering, we rounded up one well-used '67 Camaro and asked Performance Differential proprietor, Jim Cook, to install the kit. The results were all we had hoped for.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The crossmember is designed to work with the Camaro's nonparallel framerails. Lift it into position until it becomes gently wedged between the rails. Relocated shocks will occupy the space normally reserved for the stock transverse muffler, requiring custom tailpipes.Prepare the frame surface for welding by grinding away all paint, undercoating, and rust. Reposition the crossmember, and secure it temporarily using sheetmetal screws at each end. The stock frame-mounted jounce rubbers must be removed to clear the crossmember bracket ends. Because the new crossmember locates over the rear axle, this modification is not recommended for cars that have been lowered due to the possibility of contact between the differential and the crossmember.Weld a bead around the end of each bracket, permanently affixing it to the frame. Use great care to shield the fuel lines (on passenger side) during this operation.If stock GM stud-type spring perches are still on the car, knock the studs out, and use the U-bolts supplied in the kit. Bolt in the new shock absorbers, and the job is done.This shock relocator frees up 2 1/2 inches of additional sidewall clearance per side, and the inboard position also eliminates shock conflict with the caliper when aftermarket disc brakes are added to the rear axle.Even though a 5/16-inch-thick wheel spacer provided additional clearance, the car's fairly narrow 275/60R15s (mounted on stock 15x7 Camaro wheels) rubbed against the shocks during cornering.

Turning Point of the Match
The first set was not going the way most 3-0 sweeps go for the victors as Iowa State was staring at a 17-12 deficit. The Cyclones went on a 6-0 run that included three big kills from Mackenzie Bigbee to get back the lead. The run was part of an overall 13-5 run that brought the first set back into Iowa State's control.
Discuss it now. Visit out Facebook page to have your say on the turning point of today's game.
Cyclone Match Ball Goes to …
Mackenzie Bigbee. The sophomore and 2012 Big 12 and AVCA Central Region Freshman of the Year enjoyed one of her most efficient matches as a Cyclone as she hit a team-high 13 kills at a .500 hitting clip. During the aforementioned 13-5 run to close out the first set, Bigbee had five kills during one rotation.
An honorable mention should go to Tenisha Matlock, who recorded 10 kills at .474 hitting percentage. Matlock stepped up throughout the last two sets to ensure that her attacks would be landing in the court and in favor of the Cyclones.

When the first signs of aging appear on the face, generally they are the most noticeable around the eye area. The skin around the eyes is much thinner than the skin on the cheeks, chin and forehead. This makes the tissues especially susceptible to wrinkles as well as loss of firmness. The immediate reaction may be to use an anti-aging product intended for the rest of the face but this is a mistake as active ingredients in treatment products may be too strong for the delicate eye area. Exuviance by NeoStrata Eye Products are formulated for the unique purpose of addressing concerns of the eyes. Respecting the fragile nature of the focal point of the face, Exuviance by NeoStrata Eye Products deliver hydration, firming and smoothing agents as well as other ingredients which help to brighten the eyes and restore a more youthful appearance.
Be sure to include Exuviance by NeoStrata Eye Products in your daily skin care routine since the sooner you address concerns around the eyes, the sooner you can benefit from the technology available.
When the eyes are tired, the whole face suffers. Reach for Exuviance by NeoStrata Eye Products in order to reduce dryness and symptoms associated with aging.
Exuviance Age Reverse Eye Contour contains a blend of highly effective ingredients including peptides which boost collagen production in order to increase firmness and elasticity, preventing drooping and sagging around the eye area. Caffeine is also used in order to tighten and reduce the appearance of puffy under eye bags which are usually most prominent in the morning. This is a soothing treatment that combines proven effective active ingredients with soothing and nourishing botanicals for a pleasant feel that leaves the eye area firm and lifted.
One of the best ways to keep the skin tissues around the eyes plump and healthy looking is the regular use of a moisturizer. All skin requires hydration and the eye area is no exception. In fact, the skin surrounding the eyes tends to fall victim even faster to dryness and dehydration than that of the rest of the face. Exuviance Hydrating Eye Complex is a lightweight oil free cream that was developed with sensitivity issues in mind. Age fighters are combined with essential fatty acids which nourish and hydrate the eye area while vitamins and botanicals offer protection as well as a soothing effect. You will benefit from hydrators as well as anti aging ingredients, leaving the eye area plump, smooth and firm. This product is absolutely safe for delicate skin and can be used by those who wear contact lenses.
