good morning
Dianabon voyage - say hello to the sun for me
awsknow Troutbeck well - there is a nice pub about a mile from your painting - or in the vicinity of it
Mick6as Graham said a succession of mild winters with no snow made everyone believe there was no need for winter tyres!!!I mentioned the gradient on the treadie as you have no headwind effort to overcome on a treadie so times will be faster. I recall something like 1.5% gradient compensates for the lack of wind resistance to overcome when running outdoors.
NZClazy bonesOrienteering with a buggy sounds quite challengiing even with all the assistance a 3 year old can provide!!
Columbagood outing for the prancing pony in the deep snow - you will find muscles are used very differently to normal running!!
Well our resident Norwegian came up with the cunning plan of laying the trail in normal flour!!!! He relied upon positioning it where snow had been cleared, on tree trunks, traffic bollards and the like and of course it was impossible to spot!! Good fun trying to find it though and as I had chosen to run in my trail boots I had no difficulty gettting a good grip everywhere in fairly deep snow. Ran to the pub too but walked home afterwards so it was quite a good workout.
snowing again here now - I may have to borrow Graham's sandals if he ever got them back from his sister
aws,Interesting site, I will browse it for runs around my home town.
Columba,Probably but you must remember this song from the 70s
TS,It sounds like you had fun despite the snow. I do find the treadmill easier not because of a lack of headwind but because of the constant smooth pace. I find the lack of a headwind makes it more difficult as I tend to over heat.
Off to the gym for another treadmill session, -28c with a wind so windchill -34c. Too cold for me.
Trying to snow again here, don't think we are supposed to get more today.
Think I'll stick to going for a walk this afternoon. Lot of ice around.
Going out with Marg, stepson and his wife, grandson Alex & Samantha for a birthday meal tonight.
Workout done, a series of pickups that make my charts look pretty
A total of 10.2k with 7 pickups. Running fast on the treadmill can be a bit scary.
I'm enjoying Graham's Dickensian account of his childhood.
Aws - that looks like a good website. I shall investigate further. Liked the picture, by the way. So flat in the foreground; so mountainous in the distance!
Mick - thanks for the song. I didn't remember it, quite likely I never heard it... I was very busy in the 70s... And my tastes in music are fairly heavy and serious.
Smattering of additional snow overnight, and from time to time during the day. Walked into town, attended a funeral ("Our oldest parishioner..." - she was 96. She had been in the same care home that my Mum was in). Did a bit of shopping, walked back home.
Had to laugh about the sandals - I remember walking to school bare-footed, but that was not unusual for NZ back then. We seem to be a nation of broad feet! Not used to wearing shoes all the time. My 3 year old grand daughter just hates them, and can negotiate the gravel driveway between our houses without a blink of an eye! She's got real tough feet.
Had my usual Wednesday 9km run on the flat yesterday, with my friends. Always thought it was 6 miles pre garmin, but close enough I guess. My 67 year old friend just won her age-group for the 70.3 triathlon here in Auckland - half ironman - qualifies her again for Kona Ironman. So guess it takes the pressure off her when she does the NZ Ironman in March. Don't know how she does it, but seems to just take it all in her stride - no big deal. I wondered if she'd turn up to run as the event was only on Sunday, and my other friend said, "why wouldn't she, it's just another event". Amazing how casual we get when we know someone can achieve such things.
No running or gym today.MickDon't remember that song but not surprised really.NZCIs she likely to do the full Ironman?ColumbaWhat's your favourite music?JJ
Good morning
I don't remember that song either. I guess my favourite music could be the Sound of Silence.
NZCbare feet - that's where you got your leg strength from !!That's the trouble with Garmin - all your preconceptions about distance get shattered!!Even with it "only" being 9K you don't seem to be letting yourself go too much !!Your friend sounds one tough cookie
Mick6yes to overheating on a treadie!! Make sure you keep your feet ontrack when running that fast on a treadie - don't want you disappearing off the back!!
Impeyglad yuo are improving - hope you enjoyed the meal. It wasn't your birthday was it - yours is later in the year?
awsNice website but Garmin Connect does most of that for free!!
Nice people at Garmin reminded me that I have to re-pair my new HRM with the watch which took only a couple of minutes - now works fine!!
5.1 miles ran in 43:45 (8:35m/m) and avHR 136 (70%WHR) and a max of 151
1m 8:57 av 127 max 1362m 8:07 av 133 max 1413m 8:30 av 138 max 1434m 8:36 av 139 max 1415m 8:46 av 142 max 151 Hipps Hill.1m 0:47 av 146 max 151
ran on mainly cleared roads and paths with just some black ice to contend with in places but it felt harder than it looks from the HR !!
JJ - I don't know that I have one favourite. Things I've listened to recently include Vivaldi, Bach, Chopin, Stravinsky, Vaughan Williams, Beethoven, Rimsky-Korsakov. And I've got a lot of Gregorian chant.
6 and a quarter miles today, in road running shoes, on mainly cleared roads and pavements. There were just a few patches of snow and ice over which I picked my way carefully.
TraceyI am sure you are right -different muscle groups being worked have an impact in terms of fatigue. Mind if I had ran 12 miles I would have been wiped out!!!!!
ColumbaI am pretty sure none of those composers were responsible for Margaritaville Good miles today before the snow comes back!!!
TSNot too much slowing down on Hipps Hill. A good sign.ColumbaA bit short on modern classical music - Rutter, Copland, Glass, Jenkins?I listen mostly to choral music, especially the usual Requiems, and sopranos excluding Maria Callas. My most played piece of music is Gounod's St. Cecilia Mass and within that I reckon the Credo is the strongest musical statement I know. I also love traditional delta blues.JJ
Ran 6.38 miles today decided to do my usually get back quick van aaken style so programmed Garmin to do 20 x 350m run 50m walk and anything left just run the rest That rest was 1.41 miles good run found new route didn't reach end of it so could be longer The off road bit i travelled as it followed a stream. Spotted some nice looking horses
Still in the deep freeze here but the forecast is to go above freezing next week sometime.
TS,A bit red faced with Garmin then.Looks like an easy run with those HRs especially if they were mine.
Columba,Don't you find that if you want to listen to more serious music you have to pay attention and listen. When I am on the treadmill my attention is all over the place and I need ' fast food" music.
Pammie,20 x 350 is a tough workout, well done.
A plod on the treadmill today, a recovery from yesterday's pickups. A total of 8k was done.
MickI really couldn't cope with your sudden variations in temperature.JJ
JJ,It can go from -34c with windchill to +2c with brillant sunshine. I think it is caused by slight changes in the direction of the gulf stream which normally runs from west to east, so a slight change can bring warm weather up from the south or artic weather from the north in a matter of hours.The trees suffer the most as they obviously freeze solid and then a sudden thaw can have them exploding. You can imagine what it does to the roads.
Some excitment this week as we had a deer kill on the estate. When wolves or coyotes kill, we are not sure what it was, they make a huge row, lots of howling and snarling. They also make a great mess, especially on snow. It was at night and a neighbour went to investigate and saw them running off but couldn't identify them.
We have a huge number of deer and they are vulnerable when the snow hard packed, because they cannot move as fast.
Mick was just done at an easy pace so i can get in longer runs while build up fitness
Like you i need fastish music to work out to
MickNature, raw in tooth and claw. I guess it's all part of the natural order of things.JJ

Children, Choices And Rules
As parents, it is only natural to take a dictatorial approach as far as our children are concerned. There is no manual or handbook on parenting, and, believe it or not, children have personalities, even when they are very young. We all want to be the best parents we can be. Hopefully even better than our own parents were to us. Having said that, we can sometime be a little overbearing. Ok, a lot even.
Parents assume that children do not know what they are doing or what they want. A common pitfall, which even I fall into from time to time. Having dealt with children from different backgrounds at the Kids Book Club, my general parenting methods have come into question. Not a bad thing, as I have learnt so much, and continue to learn.
The 3 major things I've learnt through parenting and caregiving are:
Be A Facilitator
Children are not mindless creatures or machines that are waiting for us to feed them commands. They come fully loaded with their own programs, and our jobs as parents or caregivers is to help them put these programs or personalities in modes that they can understand and follow, without feeling overwhelmed. The best way to do this is provide rules, guidelines and choices. When you want a child to do something, let them know that they can make a choice. Teach them to make choices as early as you possibly can. For example, you decide you want your child to have a new toy. Carry them along. Depending on how young they are, start with 3 toy choices. Tell them they can pick whichever they like. At first, the child will want all of them, and it may even be a struggle. Gently, but firmly, inform them they can have either one toy or none at all. Stand aside, and only intervene when the child requires you to. In the end, they will pick one. With time, they will develop their own 'choice' mechanism and in the process, they will not feel stifled, and you will not keep wondering what your child likes.
Accept That Children Will Have Good Days And Bad Days
As an adult, you sometimes wake up feeling out of sorts. Overwhelmed even. Tired, like you have not slept for days. This also applies for children. They will wake up cranky. They do not know what is happening, as these may sometimes be new experiences for them. You are not doing yourself or the child any favors by yelling at them, or forcing them to be a certain way, or trying to cheer them up in annoying ways. Try reversing the roles and imagine your friend or your spouse or partner trying these stunts on you when you are in a funky mood. Your every instinct will be to punch the lights out of them! Be there for your child. Speak kindly and when they scream, don't join in the match to see who can yell the loudest. Speak in a firm, soft tone and inform them that they need to sit down and only talk to you when they can do it in a reasonable manner so that you can understand what they are saying. I have done this on a continuous basis with my son and at the Kids Book Club so I know how well it works.
Lead By Example
Let's take the above scenario as an example. Your child is in a cranky mood. That means that they will yell or cry at the drop of a hat. You decide to take the approach of yelling back. Do you see that going anywhere productive? Let's even go further and say you are in a cranky mood yourself. You go around kicking everything in site, including the cat, and yelling at your child when they come trying to talk to you. What has the poor cat done to you? What has the poor child done to you? Are they really the cause of your foul mood? What if, instead, when your child comes to you, you gently let them that mommy or daddy is not feeling very nice today and you would like a few minutes to relax? And of course, steer away from the cat? If you have already set good communication between you and your children, you will be surprised at how willing they are to help you get back to feeling good and they will leave you alone, even for 15 minutes stretches at a time before coming to check on you. For some reason, this show of concern by a child is so endearing, you will find yourself back into a close to normal mood in no time.
Junior Goes Camping
For reasons only a mother can understand, I tend to hang on to Junior a little tight (er). You know, my world revolves around him and all those cutesy things that mothers blurt out which end up embarrassing their offspring…? But I can be quite flexible when I want to. Every child gets to hear of camping and camp fires at some point. They watch a movie or hear older kids talking about it and they get curious. Me being me and Junior being Junior, we got into a debate on camping. He watched 'Mulan' an animation that has all these heroes and villains and camping and camp fires. That's when he decided he wanted to build a tent.
Creativity is essential when you enter the parenting realm. I was either going to help make a tent or buy him one. Buying was not going to be done so after racking my brain, and with help of Junior dearest, we set on to build a tent.
Building time is the one time I can get him to concentrate on something that is not school related, without him jumping about and wheezing by in a blur. After 30 minutes of arguing, discussion, compromise plus deciding which items of clothing and furniture in my house were suitable (read disposable) we came up with a pretty good tent look-alike.
So excited is the boy that he has declared that he is going to spend the rest of his nights there. His 'Sleep Room Tent', he calls it. If this is what I have to agree to in place of the dangerous outdoor camping trips, then by God I will make it work! And so, Junior will spend his first night in the tent today. He has everything set out. His sleeping clothes, blankets and his water bottle.
This I will indulge him until he tires of it. Which will probably be 2 days tops. It's the only time I can afford to give anyway, seeing as said tent stands smack in the middle of my living room. No guests expected this weekend, hence we are good for the 2 days.
Junior gets to go camping for the weekend. Mummy gets to be a hero. We live happily ever after. The End.
Mummy And Wasp Face-Off
I'm not necessarily a tree hugger, but I'm a nature lover. If you have followed me long enough, you probably know that during some free time, I can be found at The Arboretum lying on my back, chewing on a blade of grass contemplating the skies. And with my current balcony farming undertaking, I am beginning to get along with insects. To a point that my savage self does not yell murder at the sight of one and deliver a one-way ticket for poor insects to insect heaven with my over-sized foot.
In particular, there are the wasps. You should know that I'm not afraid of wasps. In fact, there is this colony of wasps that we have harmoniously co-existed for quite a while. Not in my house though. At the balcony. They mind their business and I go ahead and offer accommodation at the top corner of my balcony.
That is until the other day. Weekends have become twice as exciting in my house as Junior and I go crop tending at the balcony and he is able to assess how well his crop is doing. Remember I mentioned he has planted a few seeds on some margarine tubs? Yes he is quite excited especially since we are about to harvest those and utilize them in a meal soon. Back to wasps. As usual, after morning chores on a bright Saturday morning, Junior and I go to the balcony to look after plantation. Out of nowhere, this wasp comes zooming down and delivers a sting to Junior's hand. I have never seen the boy as terrified as he was that day. You have never seen an angry lioness as I was on said day. How dare they attack my offspring? Do they see me flying up their nest to attack their almost offspring (they are eggs at the time)? Of course not! Haven't I been paying rent on time and ensuring there is a roof over their offspring? Darn right I have! And then they go and do this? I did not care that it was probably one rogue wasp that did the ninja attack. This mama went savage on the whole colony. And this is where things got interesting.
You see, wasps are not exactly the kind of insects you hold a committee with and kindly request them to leave because they have violated some unspoken terms in some contract. No. They never go quietly. Not even with a can of bug spray. So it was an all out war. Face painting and all. I locked junior in the house, after administering some overkill (really, pain killers, antihistamines, vaseline, ointment, dettol) yes, overkill first-aid, picked up a long broomstick (I keep those for various reasons which you probably don't want to know), covered my face with a large scarf, red, no less, strategically placed myself and yanked the hive off and took off like the devil was after me. Because believe me, he was. All this time, Junior was watching the action through the window in amusement, momentarily forgetting his hand was in pain.
Let me tell you, never expect respect from sub-letting tenants or for them to go away without drama during eviction. The wasps were adamant. They were categorically refusing to be evicted. Did I mention? We had an arrangement, the wasps and I. An unspoken arrangement but an arrangement all the same. I pay rent, provide room and occasional snack from my farm and we respect each other's boundaries. When it's time to go, they were to pack up and go. Without causing damage. Well, after hours of running battles with the wasps, I won. I wasn't going to have it any other way.
I've seen one coming to scout the place, probably trying to determine if it is safe to return. Wasps tend to get attached to their 'homes' like that. But make no mistake. My home is no longer their home. I am putting my foot down. Pun if necessary.

The house was wonderful. Absolutely gorgeous. I wished we could have stayed a few more days to enjoy. It seems we were off every day to do something. I would highly recommend your company to everyone. You were very professional and the house was everything you said it was and more.

Rep. Boucher Calls for Internet Ad Regulation
By Emily Steel
In an interview Friday, Rep. Rick Boucher, (D-Va.) called for Congress to take a tougher stance in regulating online ad-targeting, despite the FTC's endorsement of industry self-regulation.
"I am coming to believe (industry self-regulation) is not sufficient," said Rep. Boucher, chairman of the House subcommittee on communications, technology and the Internet. He noted that there is a need for a set of laws that dictate parameters for how companies collect, share and use online data about their consumers.
In its report, released Thursday, the FTC laid out a number of principles to guide practices for online behavioral targeting, in which a company tracks consumers' online activities, such as the searches they perform and the Web sites they visit. Companies can then deliver ads based on consumers' likely interests — showing ads for cribs and strollers hotels to someone who previously visited Web pages about babies and parenting, for example.
"What the FTC laid out is a good foundation. But the problem is that it is advisory and there is no certainty that all Web sites will meet those standards," Rep. Boucher said. "At a minimum, it is important that consumers understand what information about them is collected by Web sites, to show how that information is used, and then to be able to let consumers make choices about whether or not that information is collected and whether or not it is use in a certain way."
Standards also should be set to regulate how data that is collected about consumers is safeguarded, Rep. Boucher said.
Such regulation is needed in order to instill in Internet users a greater sense of confidence and stimulate growth in the Internet industries, he said. "That greater sense of confidence would encourage more electronic commerce and would drive Internet growth," Rep. Boucher said.
Rep. Boucher said he intends to draft a bill, but has not yet drafted a specific bill related to online privacy issues and has no set timeline to do so.
He also said he's talking to a broad range of industry players to account for a number of perspectives, including Web sites and privacy advocates.
Most big Internet companies and industry trade groups have applauded the FTC's backing so far of self-regulation. Representatives of Google and Yahoo, the two largest sellers of online advertising, said on Thursday that they weren't categorically opposed to federal regulation but much preferred self-regulation.

Stoke produced a spirited display to secure a well-earned point against Tottenham at White Hart Lane as the north London side missed out on the opportunity to climb up to third in the Premier League table.
The away side, who boast the best defence in the league having conceded just 13 goals so far in the campaign, were well organised throughout, with Spurs unable to break them down.
Stoke could, and perhaps should, have come away with more than a point with Kenwyne Jones missing two great opportunities, while Ryan Shotton also had a chance to break the deadlock.
Tottenham imposed themselves on the game more and more as it went on, yet they missed that cutting edge in the final third, and were unable to find a way past a brilliant Stoke defence that limited them to shots from distance.
Gylfi Sigurdsson came close in the dying moments to grabbing a winner with a header, only for Asmir Begovic to produce a fine save meaning it was actually Spurs' north London rivals Arsenal who capitalised on Chelsea not playing until tomorrow to move up to third.
It was Stoke, though, that should have been one up inside the first minute after Kyle Walker gifted the ball to Jones, only for the striker to blaze over from close range.
A nervy start to the game for the home side continued as not long after, Jones found himself in another goal-scoring position. Steven Nzonzi opened up the opposition defence with a fine pass, but Hugo Lloris pulled off a great save to deny Jones before Walker did well to clear.
Spurs began to impose themselves on the game thereafter, but despite getting plenty of crosses into the box, they struggled to get anybody on the end of them.
That was until Gareth Bale burst forward down the left and picked out Emmanuel Adebayor in the box, only for the striker to head over the bar when he should have hit the target.
Tottenham were now seeing the lion's share of possession, but try as they might they were unable to unlock the Stoke defence, with the Potters restricting them to shots from outside the box. Defoe went close twice, while Mousa Dembele also sent one wide from the edge of the area.
Spurs came out after the break showing far more attacking intent with Defoe again shooting just wide of the post from the edge of the box.
It was all the home side for long periods, but still they were unable to find a way of getting past the fantastic duo of Ryan Shawcross and Robert Huth in the heart of Stoke's defence.
The one time that they did – when Aaron Lennon sent a dangerous hanging ball to the far post – the unmarked Bale could only head over from close range.
Stoke were playing on the counter attack on the most part, and it nearly paid off when Geoff Cameron picked out the unmarked Shotton in the box, but the full back could only shoot tamely at Lloris.
Spurs continued to drive forward in the closing stages, but had little luck on improving on their past efforts with Sigurdsson and Dembele shooting from distance and failing to trouble Begovic.
With the clock ticking down, Tottenham had their best chance of the game as Sandro picked out Sigurdsson in the middle, but Begovic produced the save of the day to tip the midfielder's header away and earn his side - who are now unbeaten in their last eight league games - their ninth clean sheet of the campaign and a deserved point.
Ryan Shawcross – It was a toss-up between Shawcross and his defensive partner Robert Huth, who were both immense in keeping Tottenham at bay all day long. The captain edged it for his influential leadership.
TOTTENHAM: Lloris 7, Walker 6, Caulker 6, Dawson 6, Vertonghen 7, Sandro 7, Dembele 7, Lennon 7, Bale 7, Defoe 5, Adebayor 5. SUBS: Sigurdsson 6, Parker 5.
STOKE: Begovic 8, Wilkinson 7, Shawcross 9, Huth 9, Cameron 7, Shotton 6, Whelan 6, Nzonzi 7, Ehterington 6, Walters 7, Jones 6. SUBS: Whitehead 6, Jerome 6, Crouch 5.

Complete Story
Persistent or recurrent cough lasting for three to four weeks or more should be evaluated. It may indicate one of several underlying illnesses. Causes The most common causes of cough depend on the age of the child. In an infant or younger child a birth defect of the airway may be more likely. Other considerations in all ages include post-nasal drip, asthma, cystic fibrosis, airway foreign body, infection and gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), which are all manageable conditions. Diagnosis and Treatment Evaluation should include a thorough history and physical examination, a chest radiograph, and depending on the age of the child, possibly examination of the vocal cords, sinus radiographs, allergy tests, pulmonary function tests, bronchial challenge, additional X-ray studies or esophageal pH monitoring. These procedures identify the cause of cough in most cases. Treatment can then be aimed at the specific underlying cause.

Orlando, Fla. -
President Obama made a campaign stop today at Rollins College in Winter Park where he talked about his vision for the future with a packed house, estimated at 2,400 by the fire inspector.
After arriving at the Harold and Ted Alfond Sports Center and taking the stage just after 2:58pm, Obama briefly praised the U.S. Olympic athletes and joked that he could never stand on such a narrow balance beam and then jump and flip.
Obama portrayed his campaign as vastly different than his competitor, republican candidate Mitt Romney, saying trickle down economics does not work, calling it trickle down fairy dust". "There are two visions for American, but only you get to chose." "Millions of people wish they live here."
He then jumped right into new figures released by an independent study that shows Romney's tax plan will "result in 98% of American paying almost $2,000 more a year in taxes just to pay for Romney's tax cut to the wealthy", that it would not go to paying down the deficit, or paying for a war or to other social programs nor social security.
Obama pointed out the study was headed by George Bush's senior economic adviser.
he also talked about his healthcare law, dubbed Obama care by pundits and republicans, and that 7,687 people in Orange County who were on Medicare saved an extra $603 on prescription drugs because they were no longer in the "Medicare doughnut hole" as described by his campaign staff.
Obama also went on to say that as a result of his automotive bailouts, 35,000 Florida jobs were saved, though he nor his campaign have indicated what jobs and where.

text: Ok so this post isn't what I had in mind when I was looking for some new British Babes to put on this blog. As it goes, when I picture a British Babe, I tend to visualise some page 3 bird, some fit glamour model, or some UK tart who's in the latest issue of FHM – not some busty suburban amateur milf with a fair old set of knorks. Anyway I've decided to not be so narrow minded in my definition of British Babes, and am gonna add the odd older bird – or 3. Demi Dean, the pictures here taken here from the quality British smut site Simply Demi, looks like the kind of MILF who might well be your next door neighbour – the one who you've always wondered what they'd look like with their big jugs unleashed out of their sensible bra. Well now we get to find out what they'd look like – cos on Simply Demi we see Demi Dean prancing around in the altogether.

MUSIC; What Price Music?
By Amy Harmon
Published: October 12, 2003
Since the introduction of vinyl records after World War II, recorded music has assumed many shapes and sizes, each one coming with a higher price tag than the last. Eight-track tapes cost a dollar more than LP's when they rose to popularity in the early 1970's, and cassettes commanded a premium over eight-tracks. And when CD's made their debut in the mid-1980's, record labels sold the shiny discs for $18, more than double the price for the same music on LP's and cassettes that cost more to manufacture. Unlike those formats, which the industry adopted voluntarily and marketed vigorously, the latest shift-- to digitized versions of songs that can be distributed online-- have been thrust upon it, the outgrowth of a technology it could not control. Battered by a sales slump it attributes largely to digital piracy and heartened by a limited test with Apple computer owners, this fall the record industry is trying to catch up with its file-swapping customers: the major labels and many independents have agreed to deconstruct the album, allowing anyone with a computer to buy any of hundreds of thousands of individual songs. Soon huge catalogs of every genre of music will be available for sale on the Internet from over a dozen retailers, bearing the blessing and license agreements of the major record labels.
No one knows what all the effects will be. But one will certainly be on price; music in the new format will cost at least a little less than it did in the old. The standard charge has become 99 cents a track. Albums that cost between $12 and $18 on CD now sell for about $10 online. The labels have also authorized several services to offer a kind of online lease program for music: subscribers pay a flat $10 a month to listen to as many as half a million tracks as often as they want over the Internet, rather than storing them on a computer or burning them to a CD.
And the next months are expected to bring price wars -- in both the usual and a more figurative sense of the term. As musical recordings have increasingly shed their physical form, the record industry and its customers have been at odds over what it all should cost. Music fans complain of high CD prices and copy more music illicitly than they purchase legally, while the record companies rail against the devaluation of their product and take file-sharers to court.
Since legal ways to experience online music are only now becoming widely available, there is no established record of what the market will bear or how these innovations will be received. Will each song purchased online represent the loss of a whole CD sale in the store? Or will customers respond to the ease and selection of e-commerce by buying more, overall? One possible development is that hit songs could cost more than obscure recordings. Another is that retailers would set prices on a sliding scale, to favor students or high-volume buyers -- a departure for an industry that has basically sold one product, in one configuration, discounted at periodic intervals, for decades.
With all these unknowns, and with all the labels in competition with one another, how did the online services decide -- even for the time being -- on what to charge for a song? By most accounts, the 99 cent trend started with Apple Computer's chief executive, Steven P. Jobs. One record executive who insisted that he not be identified described a meeting last winter of the company's senior management that Mr. Jobs addressed in New York. ''He came in and said, 'People pay $3.99 for a cup of Starbucks coffee, and it's gone in 10 minutes,' '' he recalled. ''If you compare it to free, then 99 cents may seem like a lot. If you compare it to a cup of Starbucks coffee, it seems like a very good value.''
An executive at another label, who also declined to be identified, put it slightly differently: ''Who the hell knows?'' he said of the pricing decision. ''It's a shot in the dark.''
Ninety-nine cents is only slightly less than the cost of a song on a CD (given the usual price, around $14, and the usual number of tracks, around 12). And adjusting for inflation, it is about 10 times more than 45-r.p.m. singles cost during their heyday in the 1950's. Still, Mr. Jobs's take on the psychological appeal of the price, at least for the small, affluent audience of Macintosh users to whom the iTunes service has been marketed, may be apt. Apple said last month that the iTunes store had sold 10 million songs in its first four months of operation, about half of which were sold as full albums. The company plans to offer the service to the much larger market of Windows PC users this week.
Two weeks later Napster, which, before being shut down by a court order in 2001, was more responsible than any other factor for the vast popularity of unsanctioned file-swapping, will begin its second life. The rehabilitated service, whose underlying software is based on the Pressplay service that the software company Roxio bought from Universal Music Group and Sony Music, was shown off to the press last week and is scheduled to open to the public on Oct. 30.

The monograph reports a follow-up study of 381 cases of infantile eczema compared with 454 noneczematous controls. Special attention is given to heredity and nutrition in the causation of the disease and to its prognosis with respect to allergic manifestations such as seasonal rhinitis, bronchial asthma, urticaria, papular urticaria (strophulus) and angioneurotic edema. All patients had been seen in pediatric wards or clinics during the first two years of life; the interval between first and last observation varied from a minimum of seventeen years to a maximum of thirty-eight years. Allergic diseases were commoner in parents and siblings of eczematous children than in those of controls, but the presence of environmental factors prevented definite conclusions about the mechanism of inheritance. Infantile eczema occurred more frequently in boys than in girls. The average age of onset was 5 months. The initial lesion healed at an average age of 2 years, but

I received my very own Josie Maran Argan Oil Moisturizing Stick for review in the same package as my Josie Maran Argan Oil Lipstick. Initially, I didn't know where I was supposed to be applying the moisturizing stick, but I soon learned (and read) that I can use it pretty much anywhere.
Ingredients (provided at josiemarancosmetics.com)- "Natural Prunus Armenica (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Organic Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, Natural Beeswax, Natural Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Natural Copernica Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Natural Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Natural Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Natural Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Butter, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate), Natural Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ OIl, Natural Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Natural Leptospermum Petersonii, Natural (Lemon Tea Tree) Oil, Menthol, Tocopherol, Ethylhexlylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol (and) Phenoxyethanol (and) Hexylene Glycol."
This product earned a hazard score of two on the Cosmetic Safety Database. Menthol (a three), tocopheryl acetate (a four), and hexylene glycol (a five) are the only ingredients with hazard scores above a two. None of the ingredients are linked to cancer.
Some great things about this product:
1. This product contains organic ingredients.
2. It's cruely, paraben, petrochemical, and artificial fragrance free.
Recyclability– This container is #7 plastic. Sadly, that means that I cannot recycle it in Lake Charles. If you're fortunate enough to live in a town where you can recycle more than #1 and #2 plastics, then good for you!
Product Description (also provided at josiemarancosmetics.com)- "This multi-purpose balm offers all the benefits of the nourishing oil, which includes anti-aging ingredients rich in fatty acids and vitamin E. A head-to-toe spot treatment for dry areas in need of moisture, this soothing balm conditions and repairs skin as it hydrates. Use it to moisturize chapped lips, soothe dry skin, tame fly aways, alleviate itching and stinging from insect bites, moisturize dry cuticles, relieve chafing skin, soothe stretch marks, calm sunburn, soothe waxed skin, and much, much more."
Price-$16.50 for 0.55 oz
Performance– I've used this stick on scrapes, blisters, elbows, cuticles, and my lips (especially before bed). It has real staying power on my lips, and it moisturizes all the other areas sufficiently. While it makes my cuticles look great just after using it, I still need to reapply daily to maintain healthy-looking cuticles. This stick provided a great deal of relief to a raw spot on the back of my foot that I got from wearing shoes that were too big. My elbows can get pretty dry, and this stick makes them look and feel much more presentable.
Scent– Kirby and I both agree that this stuff smells like a citronella candle. I personally like the way citronella candles smell, so I also enjoy the scent of this moisturizing stick. If you're bothered by citronella candles, then this stick may not be for you.
Rating– I'm subtracting one point because $16.50 is a little expensive, and I'm subtracting another two because I wish that it would make my cuticles look less raggedy for more than a day at a time. Otherwise, this product is a winner. Seven all the way!

Three weeks after long-brewing trouble at Clayton Valley Charter High School boiled to the forefront at a school board meeting May 21, disappointment, dismay and the resolution of troubling issues remain cloudy.
The school, dealing with personnel issues, has turned to third-party California-based Oracle Investigations Group to look into still more confidential complaints.
Growing pains and disagreement on the path the school should take had administrators, teachers, parents, students and the community at odds with each other, resulting in board meetings May 21 -- in which operations and athletics director Pat Middendorf was fired -- and June 11, where there were plans to discuss the possible removal of board president Tom Branich, before that and other related items were taken off the agenda.
In separate follow-up interviews, the school's executive director Dave Linzey, administrative services director Neil McChesney, Middendorf and two teachers at the school aimed their comments at clarification.
"There's a personnel issue that I can't speak on that is the background to this whole problem," said Linzey on June 9.
Asked to explain the board's public discussions at the May 21 meeting regarding some members' recusal during the closed session, he said, "For corporations, employees can't serve on the boards. It's a gray area for charters, but there are laws of conflict of interest that have to be followed."
Middendorf, Amber Lineweaver and Diane Bailey -- board members and school employees -- argued against, but were asked to recuse themselves during the more than four-hour closed session that resulted in Middendorf's dismissal on a 4-1 vote (Branich dissented).
Middendorf said June 11 that her attorney and a California Teachers Association attorney said the forced recusal was not legal.
"In an important issue like this, we were taken aback by it," she said. "I've never seen anything in the charter about that."
McChesney, joining Linzey for the interview, said the recusal was required by the Brown Act.
Following the closed session in that May meeting, a majority of community stakeholders protested against the administration's lack of transparency. Debra Gonsalves said the dispute between administrators and teachers was "dividing our community in half."
Laurie Arbour, a speech pathologist at CVCHS, said "top-down management, lack of respect and low morale were the reasons the charter was started" and regretfully, appeared to have resurfaced."
Students, including senior class president Kyle Metz, spoke about their teachers.
"Absolutely none of my success would be possible without my teachers. I've not seen the administration provide any support in two years," Metz said.
At the May 21 meeting, and in emails to this newspaper, Linzey supporters had suggested teachers encouraged students to attend the meeting and protest the administration's actions.
He answered, during the subsequent interview, that "students should never be used as pawns. That's an ethical violation by school employees. That's the most disheartening thing of all, in this process. ."
Additionally, he said Middendorf's firing had "nothing to do with the meeting that night or the involvement of the student protest. She was terminated without cause."
Middendorf said she had not talked with students -- "not even one" -- until after the May 21 meeting.
"No one has ever stated why I was fired, so I have no idea. I filed some complaints in this investigation that is coming up. That's the only thing I can come up with. I'm perplexed by it."
She said she is scheduled to talk to investigators but had not been informed when that would happen.
Assessing whether to contend her dismissal, she said,"I've not made that decision. I'm open to that, but I want to see how the investigation goes. It's a big step and everything was so abrupt, I need to take more time to think about it."
Linzey said problems could have been avoided because he has an open-door policy and board members have a set of protocols to follow when presenting complaints.
"She should have addressed her concerns to me. She never has. After addressing them to me, if she was dissatisfied, she could have addressed them to the chairman of the board or the entire board."
Middendorf said, "I took all those steps. I did speak with him."
Social studies teacher Jenny DeAngelis, who's been at the school for seven years and championed the conversion, said the charter process was new.
But the accusations that students were being manipulated by their teachers was a concern.
"We never discussed it. My students didn't ask me about the governance of the school until the claycord.com publications. (Letters and emails were published arguing both sides.) Our students formed their own positions."
DeAngelis said the ongoing disruption, especially suggestions that Branich should be removed from the board, increased her concern.
Cate Sundling, who has taught English at Clayton Valley for 19 years, wrote a letter to the board, excerpts of which were published on claycord.com. She still struggles with its being made public.
Visibly upset during the board's lengthy closed session June 11, she said, "It was difficult to write the letter. It's hard because the problem has been ignored for a long time. The people who've been saying we have a problem, they've been dismissed as being disgruntled, veteran teachers. This growing, low morale is pervasive and bigger than administration thought."
Importantly, Clayton Valley's success as a charter school includes new, approved teacher contracts with retroactive pay raises and increased health benefits, a six-year term accreditation awarded by WASC (Western Association of School and Colleges), graduation rates up from 83 percent to 95 percent, and a 62-point jump in the API rating that Linzey boasts is "the largest in California for a large high school."
Ironically, success has been a contributing factor to the upheaval. Four hundred students on a waiting list and an intense loyalty to serving area students led Linzey to seek what he said was charter expansion, based on board approval.
Middendorf was driven by similar impulses.
"I jump-started the stadium in 2003. Working with the community, we brought in that stadium. I love that school. Our charter took months and months to write. We spent every minute of spring break to write it."
But about the expansion, she said, "I never saw a charter draft for a satellite school until after they were submitted to the county. They were signed by three administrators, not the teachers."
She supplied a copy of the document in which Linzey and McChesney petitioned the Contra Costa County Board of Education for approval of a "Clayton Valley Charter Collegiate Academy." The expansion effort ran into roadblocks and has been tabled.
If there is common ground among all the players -- and there is -- it's their devotion to the students and the school. Linzey said he'd like to expand if it doesn't negatively impact the students. McChesney described the school's summer schedule chock full of curriculum and technology institutes, character-building workshops and leadership conferences for teachers, staff and administrators.
Middendorf said, "My background, my whole life has been devoted to the betterment of that school. I love that school. I had nothing to gain by what happened."
At the school board meetings, administrators, teachers, stakeholders and students said they are hanging onto their hope that the community will heal and move forward, united.
"The high school is more than an executive director," Linzey said. "It's a team building a community. We've had a setback, for sure, but we'll overcome that."

Google Getting Pounded, Could the Oracle (Buffett) Be Watching?
Google is getting garumphed today, down nearly 8% after reporting disappointing results late Thursday. That decline has knocked about $14.5 billion off Google's market capitalization.
So, is Google, now valued at about $171 billion, worth $14.5 billion less today than it was on Thursday morning?
That's the kind of question a value investor would ask. And, of course, the biggest, baddest value investor out there is none other than Warren Buffett, head of Berkshire Hathaway. Would Berkshire, elephant gun in hand, invest in a battered-down Google?
The knee-jerk answer would be: No! Google is exactly the kind of company that Buffett avoids. Too young. Too complicated. Too unpredictable.
Buffett prefers things he knows or can easily understand. His holdings are dominated by insurance, which he understands deeply. Berkshire also owns a bunch of somewhat hum-drum if successful businesses. Justin Boots, See's Candies, Dairy Queen, Fruit of the Loom, MidAmerican Energy Holdings. Set 'em up, knock 'em down. Not too many frills, plenty of cash.
Even his investments echo this staid-ish approach. Coca-Cola, American Express, Wells Fargo.
It is unlikely Buffett would consider an investment in Google. But there are reasons to think Buffett might consider the possibilities. Here are five.
Google is sorta cheap. Buffett loves value (See most of everything he's done.) Hard to believe, but the case can be made. Google at 535 is still well above its 52-week low of 433.63, but sharply off its 52-week high of 642.96. In terms of valuation, Bank of America estimates the company's cash hoard will grow to $130 a share by year-end. With earnings estimates around $34/a share for the year, that makes Google's FY11 price-to-earnings multiple (ex-cash) about 12. [(535-130)/34]. This for a company that just had 28% Q1 revenue growth and EPS growth of about 17%. Another datapoint: Berkshire is paying about 12 times Lubrizol's 2011 earnings (including cash) for a slower growing company.
Google generates a lot of cash. Buffett loves cash. Cash generation is rising, and BofA Merrill Lynch forecasts a free cash flow yield of 5.2% in FY11, up from 3.8% in FY10. And the company has no debt. Back to Lubrizol: It throws off about one-third as much cash-per-share as Google does (FY10: $34.28/share vs. $10.01.) but it also has a strong cash position and, unlike Google, pays a dividend.
Google has a dominant market position. Buffett loves dominance (see Coke). Google controls about 64-65% of search traffic, according to Hitwise and comScore. Second place Bing (Microsoft) is at about 14%. Bing also powers Yahoo, which gives it about 30% of "Bing-powered" search. Add those up and you have a duopoly with Google playing Macy to Microsoft's Gimbel.
Google has a strong brand. Buffett loves brands. It is much more than search, of course, even though it has stumbled at times to execute on new ideas. Still, Google Android is big in the Tablet Wars and in SmartPhones. Google Chrome is growing, now with about 11% of browser market share, trailing Microsoft Explorer and Firefox.
Google is similar to a recent investment winner. Buffett loves to make dough (duh), and one way he does so is by buying when others are selling. Folks are certainly selling Google today. But the Buffettologists will say: Google is in a fast-moving, complicated, unpredictable business – bad for the Oracle! Moreover, Buffett has never really bought technology, unless you count whatever makes the DQ Blizzard possible. And unlike just about everything Buffett owns, a great deal of what makes Google Google exits the building everyday. But you could say many of the same things about Goldman Sachs, the ultimate talent/people franchise. And Buffett/Berkshire invested in Goldman during the financial crisis and made a pretty penny in the process. Google isn't facing a similar cataclysmic moment, so the comparison is imperfect. All the same, the Oracle has shown some stomach for this kind of business in the past, despite what the Buffettologists would have you believe.
What say you?

Linden and Holder think they know who killed Rosie Larson, but can they prove it? That is the dilemma facing them on last night's first season finale of AMC's "The Killing," "Orpheus Descending".
As we saw at the end of last week's episode, Richmond catches Linden in his office, just as she realized that the faux messages sent to Orpheus were pinging on his computer. The tension (and perhaps the danger) was cut when Linden gets a call from Holder, and Linden makes sure to name-check her partner as being right outside. She exits the apartment. Later, she and Holder get cracking, knowing that their work will be cut out for them trying to actually link Richmond to Rosie's murder.
Meanwhile, Gwen is coming to grips with her boss/lover's indiscretions (which garner publicity, but doesn't seem to derail the campaign much if at all), but she can't help but feel a lot taken for granted by a lying Richmond. He tries to explain away his affairs to her, but she knows that they are through as a couple.
Stan, now out of jail, has had time to cool off since the blowup with Mitch, and is determined to make things up to her. At the same time, he has an encounter with Bennet's pregnant wife, both of them unaware of the connection they each have to Bennet, and how both their lives are irrevocably damaged. As for Mitch, she is as obsessed with Rosie as ever, and eventually comes to a decision. After the two of them talk, it's clear to Stan that Mitch can't deal with life after Rosie. She leaves him.
Back to the case. Linden and Holder decide to work an angle: the campaign car Rosie was found in. There's a 100-plus mile difference in mileage that doesn't jibe with where the car was supposed to have traveled that night. Holder works hard to figure the puzzle out. The detectives also try talking to some of Richmond's mistresses, one of whom, a woman named Meg, was once part of his campaign. Meg says that Richmond has an aura of sadness about him, and is incapable of killing anyone.
Holder eventually figures out a possible route Richmond must have used when driving the car that night, and he and Linden find a isolated service station, whose owner remembered the car and a "screaming girl". Linden sees some blood on the window, figures that Rosie got loose and ran to a nearby park. Soon, a team of crime scene investigators join the detectives on a search, and sure enough, Rosie's other shoe is found in the area.
Enraged, Linden goes back to Richmond, and the two of them get into a shouting match, with Richmond proclaiming his innocence. Gwen is also there, overhears the exchange and makes up her mind that he is a killer. Later, she meets up with Linden and admits that Richmond left in the middle of their night together, coming back "soaking wet". She also gives Linden the DVD of Richmond shaking hands with Rosie. Linden knows that they still need a smoking gun. Sure enough, they catch a break in the form of a picture taken at a toll bridge camera: Richmond behind the wheel of the car, seemingly placing him along the route.
Armed with evidence now, Linden, Holder and uniformed officers arrest Richmond at a rally, and is arrested for Rosie's murder. As he's booked, the case seems over, at least for Linden. She scoops up Jack and heads for the airport. But while she's waiting for the plane to take off, she gets a call, with wild news: the toll camera hasn't been operational for months. Just then, Holder gets into a car with a mystery person and says that the doctored photo of Richmond did the job in implicating him. And if that twist doesn't strain the neck enough, it turns out that Richmond could be on the business end of a bullet, courtesy of an unhinged Belko!
Who knew that "The Killing"'s first season would end on a cliffhanger? Well, let's look on the bright side: we now know that there will be a second season, so we can ponder the wild twists with assurance that answers are coming. So who is Holder in that damn car with, anyway? Discuss away, and have a great off-season, "Killing" fans!

New Start: HTML5
What's coming in HTML5
Back in 1999 when the HTML 4.01 standard first appeared, virtually nobody envisioned video blogs, social networking sites, or Internet office tools. The upcoming HTML 5 standard will remake the web for the new generation of technologies and services.
By 2004, social network architects and web application developers knew that the HTML 4.01 standard was long out of date. The Document Object Model (DOM 2) standard for language-independent interaction with HTML objects was even worse. In the five years since these standards had been ratified, a generational shift had occurred in the web development industry, giving rise to new techniques for dynamic content, multimedia, and semantic processing. Representatives from Mozilla, Opera, and Apple, tired of waiting for progress, founded the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) to explore the possibility of an updated web standard.

Hint: Barrels Out of Bound: Elvish Opening
Crystal #4:
In Barrels Out of Bound in the Deep Water Caverns (Rescuing
Thorin), where you first come in there is a platform with vines.
Climb them and jump on the ropes to the left and around the bend
until you see the blue crystal. Later you will be able to get
Master Throwing Tactics, which is in a cave to the left of the
main gate (after you put the dwarves in barrels without opening
the gate). Then up on the ledges, go right and follow the path
attached to the wall. You will see a barred gate and a switch.
Insert Opening Crystal #4. In that cave you will find Master Throwing
Tactics and some jewels.
Hint: Clouds Burst: Lower gate easier:
In the Clouds Burst (last level), when you are helping
Beorn must lower the bridge, go on the path to lower the bridge.
When you are under the bridge, take out your stick and do a stick
jump. The shockwave from under the bridge will set off the explosives
and you have now lowered the bridge.
Hint: Erebor: Belt:
After Smaug is defeated, you will be in Erebor. After solving
the block riddle, Bombur will want you to find a belt. Next to
Thorin are wooden platforms. Climb them and get the belt. Then
in the gear room, climb up the wooden platforms in the back of
the room and put it in the gears.
Hint: Flies And Spiders: Defeating the
Spider Bosses:
After freeing all the Dwarf's from the cocoons, there
will be a cinematic where three huge spiders drop down. The first
one is easy. Just attack her normally or throw rocks from a safe
spot to kill her. The second one is relatively easy. Pick up a
Fire Rock upgrade and run to the nearest platform to a safe location.
Throw the rocks at her until she is dead. The third one is the
most difficult to kill. Get a Freeze Rock upgrade and run over
to a platform. Throw a rock at her, then take out Sting if she
is close to you, and the Walking Stick if she is far. Normal jump
towards her with Sting and do a jump attack (press Square
in mid-air) if she is close. If she is far, do a far jump followed
by a jump attack. If you can manage it, take Sting out as you
are doing the far jump to do maximum damage. Repeat the process
until she is defeated. If you run low on health, drink a health
potion or do a far jump from the platform you are on to the corner
nearest to you with some mushrooms.
Zachary Brown.
Hint: Graveyard: Defeating the zombie:
When you have to fight the big zombie in the graveyard,
kill the purple zombies first. Then, run round the graveyard and
collect the mushrooms if needed. If the big zombie is firing at
you, go close to him so that he starts following you. Do a sword
attack then start running around the graveyard again. The mushrooms
reappear. Get them if needed. Keep doing a sword attack on the
zombie until he is defeated. Do not attack the zombie in armor
that is near the big zombie's side; when you kill it, the purple
zombies come back again and you will have to kill them all over
again. If the big zombie starts to fire at you again, then go
close to him and he should draw his sword and follow you.
Gabbi Shields.
Hint: Lake Town: Wine bottle riddle:
Once you get all five of the wine bottle in Lake-Town, Malloc
will tell you a riddle about how the bottles are arranged. The
order is as follows:
1. Yellow Wine Bottle
2. Blue Wine Bottle
3. Red Wine Bottle
4. Black Wine Bottle
5. Purple Wine Bottle
Hint: Mirkwood Forest: Fighting spiders:
When fighting the spiders, stay up on one of the rocks.
Throw rocks at her minions. If you run out of rocks, just slpp
on your ring and sneak (or she will hear you and attack), over
to some rocks and get them.
Hint: Mirkwood Forest: Avoiding spiders:
Go to the North Camp. After you fill the hole with
water, go to the camp. Slowly walk toward the gold chest until
spiders appear. Then, run back to the water and jump onto the
log. If done correctly, the spiders will have followed you to
the water. The spiders will try to get you, but will instead fall
in the water. You will not get the courage points, but you will
have saved your life bubbles.
Stay at the North Camp. Destroy all the webs except the one that
makes you fall into a pit. Forget that one and just continue with
the game. When You return to the North Camp, destroy that web.
You will fall into a pit. Normally a huge spider would have been
in the pit, but if you killed all the spiders first, that spider
will no longer appear.
Hint: Roast Mutton: Trolls:
Do these followings in order to sneak by the Trolls and get the
wallet. First, find the first Troll. He should be standing and
doing nothing. Once he leaves, he will go to another area, then
return to his original area. If he leaves his area, go and pass
him by, then climb the small stairs. Once up, you will see a blue
chest. The first Troll you once encountered will go to another
area. Go to the area that the Troll has moved to. There about
three Trolls here. You will see the troll rubbing his back against
a tree trunk. Then, he will leave his area and rub his back against
another tree trunk. When he is leaving his original area, and
is going to another tree trunk, try not sneak when he leaves;
you will not be very accurate and it will be very easy for the
trolls to catch you. However, running works best. Run exactly
when he leaves, and when he is not looking. Hide behind the rock
that is near the Trolls' second area. Press L1 to kneel
down so that the troll cannot see you. After that, you will see
a trail. Go onto that trail. Keep in mind that there is another
Troll, and he is sleeping. Stay on the trail only, not the leaves,
or he will wake up. Press L1 to sneak past him. You will
see two rocks. Jump on them until you see an obstacle course.
Cross the obstacle course, and the second Troll you encountered
will find two rocks and sit down to rest. In order to sneak by
him, notice that when he yawns he is not paying attention to who
is crossing his area. When he yawns, sneak by him, run to the
rock, and press L1. When you do, you will see the first
Troll you encountered. He will walk back and fourth. When he is
not looking, run to the rock and press L1. Keep doing this
maneuver to reach the wallet. Note: Try not to throw rocks at
the trolls. If you do, he will start looking for you, and try
to eat you.
Hint: The Unexpected Party: Finding the
Waters Of Vigour:
After you are done getting all the food for Bombur,
go to a well in the apple orchard. The Hobbit that was standing
there earlier should be gone. Press Square and a bucket
should come up with the Waters Of Vigour in it.
shelby christie.
Hint: Water room puzzle:
To gain entry to the water room, read the plaques on
either side of the puzzle: "You must walk through EREBOR
to reach it's heart". Approach the statue behind you and
press Square. The runes on the front spell EREBOR. Spell
these out on the puzzle floor and the door will open. Note: Make
sure to walk on the letters in the correct order.
Brendan McCarthy.
Hint: Defeating Smaug:
Stay behind the debris until all of the fire is gone.
Even though he stops, some fire is still there and it will kill
even if you take one step out. The ring will not help you at all.
Hint: Saving Beorn:
In order to save Beorn on the last level, you must
push four different blue barrels located around the area. Follow
the courage crystals and do not stop to fight. Use the ring when
you encounter enemies, because you are timed.
Hint: Easy courage points:
On the last level when you meet Liana, she will start
fighting the Goblins. There will be an unlimited amount of them.
If you need to level up, stay there for awhile and collect all
of the courage points.
In the last level (Gathering Of The Clouds), when you meet up
with Lianna, you can get endless courage points by either waiting
at the top of the ladder for Lianna to kill all of the Orcs, or
by fighting them yourself. The Orcs will keep appearing, supplying
you with endless courage points.
Cheat Hunter.
At the beginning of the final level (The Clouds Burst) after talking
to Gandalf and receiving his message, look around. You will see
three female Elves. Face away from Gandalf and Elvenking Thranduil.
Then, go to the female elf on your left. Talk to this female elf
seven times and a lot of courage points (value 50) will appear,
which you will automatically collect. This will total 2,000 courage
points. To talk seven times faster, press Start. If you
do not receive the 2,000 courage points, you are probably talking
to the wrong female elf. In this case, just try the others until
you get the courage points.
Hint: Obtaining equipment:
There are three items you can acquire throughout the
game: the walking stick, throwing rocks, and Sting. The walking
stick can be found in a chest in Bag End at the Shire (first level).
The rocks can be found in a grove of apple trees in the Shire.
Sting is obtained in the troll cave at the end of that level.
Hint: Weapon meter refill:
If you need to refill your weapon meter, just attack
Hint: Easy rope jumping:
Use the following trick if you are on a rope and need
to jump to another rope. Face the other rope and wait until Bilbo
reaches out and tries to grab the other rope. Then, jump.
Hint: Mithrill Chainmail Vest:
When you get to the level after defeating Smaug, one
of the Dwarves should give you a chainmail vest.
Hint: Getting the cup for dwarfs from Smaug:
When you first enter the cave in "Inside Information",
a dragon named Smaug will be sleeping. When you first enter, there
will be an intermission sequence stating that Bilbo should not
make any noise to wake up the dragon. There are coins everywhere.
Do not step on them, or Smaug will wake up. There are ledges with
paths on them when you first go down and lots of coins. Do not
jumping around or do anything else. Bilbo takes breaths after
he jumps, which makes the sleeping meter go up, which is not good.
There are also a lot of treasure chests. Do not open them. To
get to many of them you must to cross the coin maze, which will
wake up the dragon. Note: When you defeat Smaug the second time
he will not be in the cavern (where you are) -- you can then go
to the chests. If you wake up Smaug for any reason, you are dead.
When there are high ledges, try to find another area to walk in.
When you see a higher area you can reach, take hold and go on
it. Go higher and higher. There are switches in the cavern, where
it leads to great items for you to use on the journey in here.
When you find an area that you cannot reach, look for higher ledges.
There is one part in the cavern where you will get very close
to Smaug. His tail will be in the way. Do not touch it or he will
wake up. When the meter is almost about to wake Smaug up, stand
completely still and wait for it to go down, then climb higher
and higher. When there are save locates (nearer to the highest
that you can go to get to the top chandelier) save the game and
continue. When you get the a high point in the cavern where you
are higher than Smaug, there will be a huge chandelier. Try to
climb and jump on the littler chandeliers and go to the highest
one. Note: The highest chandelier is a little far away. You cannot
exactly climb on it. There are chains of metal hanging down. Grab
them and go to the next set of chains. Note: The longest (closest
to the huge chandelier) changes the camera movement -- it looks
down at Smaug directly underneath you. Climb higher and when you
get high enough you can see normal again. Jump to the huge chandelier,
get the rubies, and an intermission sequence will start. Then,
a bigger fight will begin. You will automatically be taken to
the entrance and must stay behind ledges and wait for Smaug to
fry you. When you are behind a ledge and he fires at you, stay
there. Do not save the game -- if you move slightly to his left
side you will die instantly, and start over. When the fire is
gone from him, quickly save the game then run to the next ledge
(rubies will lead you). When you hear Smaug inhale, stay behind
the rocks or ledges. Then, run to the other ones with the same
strategy. The fight will end, having the dwarfs in the cavern,
trapped. Then, search for the treasure chests then another level
will begin. Climb down to the bottom of the cavern. Get the treasure
chests down there. Note: When you fall down, you cannot go back
to the dwarfs. Climb down. There is water down there, but not
rising. When you get all of the chests down there, save the game.
Search for a square rock and a black hole. If you go in the hole,
you will not get hurt. Then, move the block in the black hole
(next to it) and look for a ledge and start climbing. When there
is another hole with a block next to it, move it and keep climbing.
If you think you cannot reach a ledge and water is rising near
you, take out your staff and jump over the gaps. Another block
and hole appears. Move the block in the hole, but do not get the
silver coins if the water is rising; you will not be able to climb
back up to the other paths. If you fall in the water, you will
drown and die (and return to the save location). Note that there
is another save location near the ledge where the silver coins
are located. Then, climb upward to find a save location. Save,
then continue up the path. There is another block with a black
hole. Then close the final hole, go up the path and jump to the
next little ledge. Jump to the chains or vines near you. Go to
the last vine/chain and wait for the water to rise high enough
to get on the door/boat in the water. Jump and you will safely
rise up to the dwarfs.
Hint: Carrier upgrades:
At the end of each level, you will be taken to the
vendor. Here, you can buy upgrades for your rock bag and medicine
chest. Each affects your carrying capacity. The upgrades are as
Rock Bag
First upgrade: +10 rock carrying capacity; total of 20 rocks.
Second upgrade: +10 rock carrying capacity; total of 30 rocks.
Medicine Chest
First upgrade: +5 antidote and health potion carrying capacity;
total of 10 each.
Second upgrade: +5 antidote and health potion carrying capacity;
total of 15 each.
Hint: Walking stick:
Until you obtain Sting, the walking stick will be used
mainly for combat. Once you do obtain Sting, drop the combat aspect
and only use it for jumping. When moving forward, quickly press
L1 then X to use your walking stick to jump. Be
careful -- using it on shorter jumps may result in over-jumping.
Hint: Save regularly:
It is very easy to die quickly in this game, whether
it is from accidentally falling off a ledge, a severe poisoning,
or being caught sneaking around. Save regularly to prevent jumping
back a quest or more.

Middleweight prospect Danny Jacobs, of Brooklyn, who returned to boxing after overcoming paralysis caused by a large, malignant tumor on his spine, has been declared "cancer free" after a recent examination by one of the doctors who helped to save his life.
After being diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, Jacobs, 26, nicknamed "The Golden Child" and "Miracle Man," survived a nine-hour surgery to remove the tumor wrapped around his spine, chemotherapy and painful physical therapy.
Jacobs (24-1, 21 KOs) has scored four straight stoppages since falling by fifth-round knockout to Dmitry Pirog in July of 2010. A first-round stoppage over Josh Luteran last October was his first bout since returning from the cancer.
Jacobs is slated to return to the ring on this Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn against Keenan Collins (15-7-3, 10 KOs) on the undercard of a Showtime-televised main event featuring RING junior welterweight champ Danny Garcia against ex-beltholder Zab Judah.
"I've pushed myself harder this training camp than I have for any other fight since making my comeback," said Jacobs. "Now, with this behind me, I can get ready for April 27 with no problem whatsoever."
On April 11, Jacobs was the recepient of the Bill Crawford Award for Courage Overcoming Adversity at the Boxing Writers Association of America dinner in New York, which the fighter attended with his son, Nathaniel, 4, Godmother Dorothea Perry, and girlfriend Natalie Stevenson, Nathaniel's mother.
Jacobs faced Pirog with a heavy heart, having endured the cancer-related death of his grandmother, Cordelia Jacobs, the previous weekend. Immediately after losing to Pirog, Jacobs had to fly back to New York to attend her funeral.
In December, Jacobs won his second fight since returning from his ring absence by scoring a Showtime-televised knockout over Chris "The Irish Ghost" Fitzpatrick who retired on his stool prior to the sixth round.
Jacobs-Fitzpatrick took place on undercard of Austin Trout's unanimous decision over Miguel Cotto at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Jacobs has launched a philanthropic foundation called, "Get In The Ring," focusing on cancer support, obesity and bullying.
The three causes are close to Jacobs' heart, and the boxer plans to raise funds and awareness for each of them as well as using his own life experiences to connect with and uplift others.

If You Want Blood...You've Got It
Just in the mood I guess...
Vintage Senators scraps. (With a nod to hockeyfights.com)
Chris Neil vs Aaron Downey Oct. 2006
This is an absolutely monstrous bout with Neil taking a really hard shot to the face about halfway in. It just makes him smile.
Brian McGrattan vs Cam Janssen Nov. 2006
Ridiculous. Janssen should have went down at least five times but he landed the punch of the fight once McGrattan got a little tired.
Zdeno Chara vs Vincent Lecavalier (with a sidebout of Dany Heatley vs Nolan Pratt)
An absolute classic. Chara doesn't want to fight until Lecavalier gets in an early shot. The big man wakes up and unleashes hell. Watch for the cocked fist from Chara right before Kerry Fraser jumps in and saves Lecavaliers life.
Dennis Vial vs Rob Ray 1995
Not many remember Vial anymore but he was a tough dude and this is a brutal old-school slugfest.
Shane Hnidy vs P.J. Stock from way back.

BBC News reported yesterday on the Ubuntu operating system coming to smartphones. Several analysts questioned whether users will go for it, which I find to be a valid question.
While smartphone screens are getting larger and processors are getting more powerful, operating desktop applications on a smartphone screen can be cumbersome at best. I've tried logging into client's computers using Team Viewer HD and it wasn't a pleasant experience. Everything looked squashed. Scrolling was intermittent and text was tiny enough to benefit from a magnifying glass. I can only imagine the experience on a smartphone, even one as large and powerful as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which is the first phone the Ubuntu operating system will be ported to.
Apparently app developers are going to be asked to create with a phone's screen and processor in mind, but do we need to fragment the app world even more? iOS, Android, Windows and now Ubuntu? (Not to mention Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet.)
I'm not convinced the demand is going to be large enough, soon enough for developers to tackle yet one more operating system.
Canonical, the London-based firm behind this project, will be showcasing phones running the software at CES in Las Vegas next week. I'll be interested to see what people think when they actually see and play with them.
Anyone want to disagree? Is there a market for this that the analysts and I are overlooking?
