"I will hurt you for this. I don't know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid."
― George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings
She watched sadly as the procession ended. So many dead, and that was one dragon, and one that they killed before it could reach the city. How much damage could a dragon do when it reached the city? It was a thought she didn't want to let linger. And what had happened with Revak? Was he really Dragonborn? Could such a thing even be possible? She heard the sound that rumbled down the mountains, the voices, calling Revak to the monastary above. If the Greybeards thought him Dragonborn... but there was something off about that. There was something about the way he fought that dragon, the way he stood there while he took in that strange energy. She thought back, to all the fights they had in the Barrow. Was it possible that he knew something already? It was infuriating that he would keep anything from her, especially something as important as being Dragonborn.
"Their sacrifice will not be forgotten," said a voice behind her. She turned and saw the Jarl's personal housecarl, Irileth, standing there.
"Good," Lydia murmured. When Irileth didn't say anything more Lydia looked at her. "What's going on?"
"I just spoke with the Jarl," she said in an official tone. "He has decided to make Revak the Thane of Whiterun." Lydia nodded, she'd figured as much. The Jarl's housecarl continued, "He will need a housecarl, someone to guard his property and his life it it comes down to it."
Irileth scowled. "So, I am offering you the position."
Lydia stared. "What?" Housecarl? Her?
"It is an great honor to be offered such a chance to serve your hold," Irileth said proudly. But there was something in her eyes. Something that told Lydia that she didn't really have a choice in the matter.
, he thought as he turned and searched for the great mountain, the tallest mountain in Skyrim and, atop it, High Hrothgar,
the Greybeards finally have called me?
Revak remembered an era ago when he was first called to High Hrothgar. Revak rolled his shoulders and sighed. Everything seemed to be falling into place. The attack on Helgen, the dragon at the watchtower, and now the Greybeards were aware of his presence. It was like a Dwarven machine that had been thrown into motion, and there was no stopping it.
He shook his head and turned from the town was coming to life. The citizens had already begun their day. He rubbed the back of his neck, his head pounding from lack of sleep and over exertion. He nearly jumped when he heard his name from behind him. He turned to see a guard. Revak remembered him as Hadvir, the one Irileth had sent back to the city earlier. "Dragonborn?"
Revak gave a soft smile. "I guess that'd be me then?"
"The Jarl has requested your presence," Hadvir said shortly.
Revak's smile disappeared from his face. "Very well then." He followed the guard to the palace. When he arrived he found the Jarl, Irileth, and a man in heavy armor in a heated discussion with the steward. The steward held up his hand and approached Revak. "Good, you're finally here. The Jarl has been waiting for you."
The Jarl continued speaking with the armored man. "You heard the summons. What else could it mean?" He shook his head in reverence. "The Greybeards..." he stopped when he noticed Revak standing there.
The man in armor stepped forward, his eyes on Revak. "We were just talking about you. My name's Hrongar. My brother needs a word with you."
Silence, then the Jarl sat down. "So," he began, never taking his eyes off Revak, "what happened at the watch tower, was the dragon there?"
"I think you already know, my Jarl," Revak said stiffly. "When we arrived at the watchtower we found it already had been attacked by the dragon. The beast returned a few moments later. It was destroyed and the watchtower was saved."
Bulgraaf nodded in awe. "I knew I could count on Irileth, but there must be more than that."
Revak hesitated as he formed the words, "I'm Dragonborn."
The Jarl's eyes grew wide. "Dragonborn? What do you know about the Dragonborn?"
"Enough it seems," Revak said steadily.
"So it's true," the Jarl said as he shook his head. "I can't believe it. Can you shout?" Revak nodded.
"By the gods," Hrongar said, shaken, "a Dragonborn!"
The steward stepped forward, shaking his head. "Hrongar, calm yourself: What does any of this Nord nonsense have to do with our friend here?"
"Excuse me?" Revak almost growled. "As a Nord I think this 'Nord nonsense' has quite a lot to do with me, Imperial." Shocked the steward closed his mouth and said no more.
, Revak thought,
I've had enough of this sorry man for a lifetime.
Balgruuf could hardly hold back his smile. "It's all right, Avenicci, but I think we Nords hold our own traditions and history a little more important than an Imperial would. I think its best you return to your quarters." The steward nodded and backed away. Inside, Revak smiled, he could almost see the Imperial's tail hanging between his legs in defeat.
The three Nords were silent, it was Revak who spoke first, "The Greybeards have called me to their mountain. I cannot refuse their summons."
The Jarl stared at Revak. "I know, Dragonborn, I know. I envy you, you know. To climb the seven thousand steps again," he paused, lost in thought. "I made the pilgrimage once, did you know that?"
"No, my lord, I didn't."
The Jarl smiled. "Go to High Hrothgar, Dragonborn, and see the Greybeards. But first..." He stood, and drew the silver sword at his belt. "Kneel."
Revak knelt before the Jarl and bowed his head as the Jarl stood before him with his blade at his side. "You've done a great service for my city, Dragonborn." He then laid his sword on Revak's shoulder. "By my right, as Jarl of Whiterun, I name you, Revak," he said moved the blade to Revak's other shoulder, "Thane of Whiterun. You may stand, my Thane."
Revak nodded. "Thank you, my Jarl."
Balgruuf smiled. "It is the greatest honor I can give you. Also," he then reached into his robes, and offered a small silver key to Revak. Revak took it and studied it. It was obviously a house key. "There is a home available here in the city. I'd like you to have it. It's called Breezehome. You'll find it furnished and ready for you."
"Thank you, my Jarl," Revak said as he pocketed the key and smiled. "It is a generous gift, truly, thank you."
"I have also taken the liberty to appoint you a housecarl."
"Housecarl, my lord?"
"Yes." Balgruuf nodded. "I've appointed Lydia as your personal housecarl. She will guard your home and yourself if the need arise."
"Again thank you, my Jarl," Revak bowed.
He wondered how she ended up his housecarl.
The Jarl smiled. "Go, rest and prepare for your journey to the Greybeards. May the Divines guard you, Dragonborn." Revak smiled.
If you only knew
Hrongar bowed to Revak. "It was an honor meeting you, Dragonborn."
With another bow Revak made his exit. He made his way to his new home, though he was not eager to arrive. It was most likely that Lydia was there already. He did not want to approach her so soon after she'd questioned him. Part of him wished that he could have chosen his own housecarl. Instead he turned and made his way to his new house.
Breezehome was in sight. He never made it there. Instead a gauntleted fist collided with his skull. He was knocked back. His eyes searched for the source of the blow, and he saw Lydia in front of him. She was still in her armor. Her fist still hanging in the air. Revak straightened himself. He felt a new cut on his face from her gauntlet. He wiped the fresh blood from his cut on his nose and stared at her. "Nice hit," he said as he inspected his blood on his hand. "I never saw it coming. Although I don't think you should treat your Thane in such a way."
With two long strides she closed the gap between them. Her face was inches away from his and her eyes were brown and fierce. Lydia poked Revak hard in the chest with her index finger. "You knew," she said, accenting both words with sharp pokes to Revak's chest. A crowd had gathered around them, silent witnesses to Lydia's rage.
Revak gently pushed her away, only to, once again, be stuck in the nose. Revak gingerly touched his nose, confirming it wasn't broken. "I'm sorry," he said softly to her so that only she could hear, "but once again this isn't the time, or place."
"When will it be," she scoffed, "my Thane?" she said, adding venom to the last word.
Revak shook his head. "Follow, then," he said as he turned toward the door. The heavy footfalls behind him told him that she was, indeed, following.
In silence they made their way to Breezehome. Along the way Revak was trying to think of a way to explain himself to Lydia without giving away too much information. At the same time, though, he wished for someone to confide in. Someone who knew who he was and what his mission was. He gave a mental sigh as they turned the corner, with Lydia now leading the way. Revak followed while still deep in thought,
I can't do this alone, but can I trust
her? Would she even believe me?
he thought as they neared a large house just off the street.
She is sworn to my service, and she is honorable. She would keep any secret, whether it be that I'm a god, or that I'm a madman.
In that moment, he decided to confide in her. If she believed him then she would most likely follow him into Oblivion itself. If she didn't believe him she would most likely think her Thane is a madman.
he thought,
but what if I don't have to tell her the whole truth?
He could simply say he was sent by the gods, not that he was one. What if he was sent by Talos? And not that he was Talos. It might just work. "Thane?" he heard her say as she opened the door.
"Sorry," he said, shaking himself free from thought. He entered the home, muttering thanks as he entered. The house was nice, but it was nothing glorious. At the entrance a fire was already glowing brightly in the hearth. In the back there was a closet, kitchen and dining area. Upstairs was the living quarters with a master bedroom for him and a smaller room for Lydia.
With a sigh and a roll of his shoulders he entered the dining area. He began to remove the more limiting pieces of armor, his helmet, gauntlets, and sword belt he laid on the table. He breathed deeply once he was free of the extra weight and joined Lydia at the hearth. He motioned for her to sit, but she remained standing. He grabbed the fire iron and started adjusting the logs. They stood in silence, the only sound being the cracks of the fire.
After a time Lydia broke the silence, "Who are you?"
Revak's focused on the fire. "Would you like the short or long version?"
"I want the truth."
Grinding his teeth, Revak began, "My name is Revak, but I'm not exactly from around here." He watched her closely for any reaction. "But I am Dragonborn," he explained, "and I've known this for a very long time."
Lydia's stare was unwavering. "Who are you?"
Revak sighed. "I can't exactly tell you."
She scowled. "What?"
"What I can tell you," he said as he took a step back, "is that I'm here to save Skyrim. No," he corrected himself, "not just Skyrim... I'm here to save all of Nirn from a threat that only a Dragonborn can prevent." Lydia stood silent as stone as he continued, "I'm here to stop the end of the world."
Lydia burst out laughing.
Revak could see his breath in the chill of the early morning. He took one last look at Whiterun as he spurred his horse down the road. Lydia had denied his offer to travel to High Hrothgar. It saddened him that she did not wish to go, but he understood her reasons.
She thought he was a mad man.
It was disheartening that the first person he 'told' did not believe him. He laughed to himself. What if he'd told her the entire truth? And so, Lydia remained in Breezehome. True, it hurt him, but he had a mission. And Revak couldn't afford to stray from it.
He watched as the towers of Dragonsreach faded away behind him. He would head to Riverwood and then Ivaarstead. From Ivaarstead he would climb the Seven Thousand Steps. He kept his horse at a good speed and would reach Riverwood within a few hours. He enjoyed the traveling. It was a chance to clear his thoughts and to enjoy the nature of Skyrim.
He saw the walls of Riverwood as he crested over a hill. He gave a smile as he saw the small mill town. Its people already finishing their work days and enjoying a brilliant afternoon. He crossed the bridge, and led his horse into the town. He noticed that Whiterun guards patrolled the walls. They nodded as he passed. He dismounted and tied his horse to the rail at the inn.
He noticed a little girl sitting on the inn's porch. Revak thought for a moment, trying to remember her name. He smiled and gave a little wave. The girl gave a gasp and ran into the inn.
, Revak thought as he watched the door slam behind her. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the key that Gerdur had given him, wondering if there was any news of Ralof and whether or not he'd made it to Windhelm safely.
As he walked the streets he felt watched. The villagers gave him evil looks and refused to talk to him. Revak made his way to the mill, but was shocked to find, not Hod working the mill, but a young man. Revak thought he recognized him from the last time he was there. "Hello," Revak said loudly so that he could be heard over the sound of the mill.
The young man stopped his work and looked at Revak, the blood drained from his face as he did so. The man collected himself and scowled. "What do you want?" he said curtly.
"I'm looking for Gerdur? Or Hod?" Revak said politely a smile still on his face.
"Is this some sort of sick joke?" the man shouted.
"I'm sorry," Revak said as he stepped away from the young Nord, "but I don't think I understand?"
The man stared at him. "What in Oblivion are you doing back here? Have you no respect?" He was shouting now, his hand resting on the dagger at his belt. Revak started backing away, but the man was closing the gap.
"Look," Revak said, trying to calm the man, "I have no idea what's going on here. What's your name? What's happened?"
"Sven," he said shaking his head to calm himself. "You have no idea, do you?"
"Hence why I asked what happened!"
"Follow me," Sven said, brushing roughly against Revak as he passed by.
Revak followed as Sven lead him down the main road. He turned right and down the lane that Revak remembered lead to Gerdur and Hod's home. The house was soon in sight, but something was wrong. Revak saw that the door had been boarded up and a sign nailed to it. Revak approached the door as Sven stood behind him silently.
Revak ripped the paper off the door, his scowl growing as he read:
The following citizens have been arrested and their property seized by the Empire:
Gerdur of Riverwood
Hod of Riverwood
For the crime of treason against the Empire in Skyrim.
It continued with a further list of crimes, including conspiring against the Empire and providing shelter to known criminals. It was signed by General Tullius. Revak threw the paper down in fury. He clenched his fits at his sides in an attempt to control his anger. "When did this happen?" Revak growled.
"Two days ago," Sven said from behind him. "You didn't know?"
Revak shook his head. "Of course not, I've been in Whiterun."
"They came in the middle of the night," Sven explained. "Hod tried to fight against them, but Gerdur stopped him. They took them away."
"What about the boy?" Revak said as he turned to face Sven.
"Sent to an orphanage," he said, "in Riften, I hear."
This was not the Empire Revak knew. This was not the Empire he made. His Empire didn't steal people away in the dark of night. His Empire didn't take children from their parents and cart them away never to been seen again. It was sickening, disgusting. To Revak, it was no wonder that the Stormcloaks were rebelling. Part of him wanted to hunt these Imperials down. He wanted to free his friends, and to get their boy back. Revak breathed deeply.
, he thought.
I can't let this slow me down. I have to stop Alduin. The war can wait.
Sven soon left him. Revak reached into his pocket and removed the iron key that Gerdur had given him. He closed his fist around the key and took to his knees. "Akatosh," he prayed softly, "guide them for me." Shaking his head he stood and started making his way back to the inn. He saw a long string of leather hanging on the fence. Revak took the leather; pulling out the key he threaded it onto the leather. He tied it around his neck, a reminder of the sacrifice his friends had made.
Emotionally and physically drained from the day he was eager for some rest.
Inside the Sleeping Giant Inn, an Argonian sipped at his mead. He was not really drinking it, but he didn't want to rouse suspicion. He watched the tavern's patrons as they drank, sang, and all together acted like idiots.
How long until he gets here?
he asked himself. The Nords paid him no attention. They were more focused with their ale. He was getting nervous that he wouldn't show, until he heard the sound of the door opening and felt a cold breeze come in.
In walked a tall, strong looking Nord in steel armor. He had very short blonde hair and deep blue eyes. He looked tired and road weary. Perfect. He also took note of the steel sword at the Nord's hip. The Nord made his way to the inn keep, requested a room, paid the keep, and then took to his room. The Argonian sipped his drink with a smirk. Everything was falling neatly into place. He liked this very much. The Argonian retired to the room he'd rented earlier that day, leaving the villagers to their late night antics. He placed his drink on his bedside table. Then he sat down cross legged on the floor to meditate on what he was about to do.
Deep into the night, the Argonian 'woke' himself from his meditation.
It's time
, he thought as he stood, stretched, and donned his leather armor. His armor was boiled black and red leather and enchanted to ensure he would succeed. He never failed anyways, but it never hurt to be cautious.
He made his way to the door, ever careful to avoid the squeaky boards. He opened the door slowly so that it wouldn't creak. The inn was empty. The dying embers of the hearth were the last lights left in the room. He snuck across the hall to the Nord's room. He made no sound as he moved, thanks to years of training and practice. Gently, he started picking the lock. It was simple, only three tumblers. The lock clicked and the Argonian swung the door open.
Inside, the Nord lay in a deep sleep amongst furs and blankets. His armor lay on the dresser across the room, along with his blade. Perfect. He drew his blade, a wicked looking piece made of ebony. He crept to the Nord's bedside. "Embrace the Void," the Argonian whispered as he raised his blade high in the air.
At the last second the Nord awoke, his eyes wild with fear. He attempted to dodge the Argonian's blade making it miss its mark. Instead of stabbing the Nord's heart the blade dug into the his belly. The Nord gasped in pain, his mouth was trying to form words, but his body's strength had not yet failed him. With one hand he pushed the Argonian away. Nice try, the Argonian thought as he stalked closer to the now kneeling Nord. He drew his dagger high.
Intense, searing pain.
He looked down and saw the tip of a thin blade coming from his chest.
Sithis... no...
Revak waited for the final strike to come. Instead he heard a sickening sound. He looked up and saw the assassin, a green skinned Argonian, holding his blade high in the air. The assassin had a look of terror on his face as he looked and saw a blade protruding from his chest. The blade drew away, leaving a gaping hole. The Argonian assassin fell to the floor with a solid thud.
Behind the Argonian, stood a woman in leathers and wielding a very familiar sword. He recognized her as Farengar's client.
She was wielding the signature weapon of the Blades; an Akaviri katana.

Book your next stay at one of these hotels—they're the best in Las Vegas.
No. 1 Wynn Las Vegas
Best Hotels in Las Vegas
No. 1 Wynn Las Vegas
With a casino floor flooded with natural light, a botanical theme, and a collection of restaurants with rising celebrity chefs like Alex Stratta and David Walzog, Wynn Las Vegas has single-handedly redefined the standard of luxury in the Las Vegas casino hotel. Elements borrowed from the natural world—including a 140-foot forested mountain and wall of water—have been manufactured to sequester the hotel away from the Strip and conceal the spaceship-shaped Fashion Show Mall across the street. The smallest rooms are a capacious 620 square feet; the six enormous villas scattered along the golf course and the pool top out at 7,000 square feet. If guests grow tired of their private pool cabana, there's always the Louis Vuitton, Manolo Blahnik, Cartier, and Chanel boutiques in the shopping esplanade.
True to its reputation as a party destination, Las Vegas is a traveler's playground, where the hotels are often the hottest places to see and be seen, thanks to the proliferation of rooftop pool cabanas and celebrity-chef restaurants.
But the hotel scene can accommodate plenty of travel styles. On any given visit, you could stay at the trendiest new casino resort with thousands of rooms, or check into a more low-key, casino-free hotel at the south end of the Strip.
Put the odds of a great stay in your favor by consulting this indispensable guide to the best Las Vegas hotels, as selected by readers in our annual World's Best Awards survey.

Upset, we called the Arizona Republic. My partner spoke to a woman who was of absolutely no help what-so-ever. In fact she tried to sell us a subscription instead stating that was the ONLY way we were guaranteed to get any coupons. My partner ended up speaking to a manger named Pearl. She was advised that, on a regular basis, the Arizona Republic sends papers out to local stores with NO COUPONS in them. She said it happens when they run out of the inserts. Only people with a subscription are guaranteed any coupons and this happens frequently.
My partner asked about the signs that the stores have on the new stands indicating how much money in coupons the paper is supposed to have and advised Pearl that was false advertising. Peal gave us another number to call and said they would be open on Monday. My partner called this morning and continued to get the run around.
It seems that no one at the Arizona Republic is willing to accept any responsibility for ripping of their customers! We bout 5 papers and we want the darn coupons! We have 2 kids, my partner is unemployed and I am the only one working. We need those coupons! It's garbage that the only way they can "guarantee" that you get the coupons is to pay for home delivery.....

Saving Several Contact Details
The step from keeping information on paper in a filing cabinet or paper file is almost a thing of the past and now everything is stored digitally. This includes the storage of all your personal contact details. There was time when everyone had their family and friends' names saved in address books - alphabetically.
When correspondence was more difficult and involved picking up an ink pen and linking it to paper in order to pass a message in between yourself and whomsoever you wanted you might guarantee being able to find, in somebody's house, an address book. Of course this was likewise at a time when the information stretched to their postal address and landline telephone number. Now, you have two dozen ways of calling your family and friends - and indeed you connect with more individuals.
Some people do still store paper copies of all the important contacts they hold, mostly because let's be honest digital storage is understood to have its defects and can give up the ghost in the blink of an eye. So, the progression in technology that has actually resulted in everyone having a mobile phone and various social networking deals with, email addresses, landlines, fax machines and postal addresses also dictates that the storage system must establish and have the ability to take all these contact information.
Smart phones are the prime source of storage as they enable you to not only store the info but likewise contact anybody, through any manage at the touch of a button. Speaking as someone who has a very approximately date smart phone and utilizes it daily for all sorts of factors - company and social - it should be acknowledged that however dazzling this ability is, there are, as ever, defects in the system.
As soon as you've got two mobile phone numbers, 2 work phone numbers, a home landline number, an email address, 2 online phones calling service numbers, four social network handles and a postal address the space on the page is lacking rather, digital is the way forward. Due to the nature of wise phones these accounts and information are all connected and therefore data, like names, are shared. A lot of individuals save their papas in their phones under the name 'father' but social networking handles will certainly be their name, certainly.

Sharrow pleads innocent to murder chargeSTAFF REPORT | July 08,2013Anthony Edwards / Staff Photo
Christopher Sharrow of Pittsford stands during his arraignment in Rutland criminal court today on a second-degree murder charge in the death of his girlfriend Kristen Parker.A Pittsford man charged with killing his girlfriend on Friday pleaded innocent this afternoon to a charge of second-degree murder.
Christopher Sharrow, 35, who entered Rutland criminal court with his hands and legs in chains and dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit, was ordered held on $750,000 bail. His attorney did not contest the bail.
Vermont State Police say they arrested Sharrow early Friday morning after discovering 32-year-old Kristen Parker his girlfriend and the mother of his two children dead on the floor of their home on West Creek Road in Pittsford.
Police say Sharrow killed Parker, who he had been dating for five years, during a domestic dispute at their home. Police have not revealed the manner in which Sharrow allegedly murdered Parker.MORE IN This Just In

A scrappy Jacobs Ladder is another awesome scrap quilt. It might be made from HSTs but when every one of them is different, I never get tired of choosing fabric for the simple block.
Barn Raising is another HST block but with many fabrics it never gets tired.
When I make these scrappy quilts I work one block

I used fabrics for the border I have had for a very long time.It is some of my favorite and I forgot all about it in a cupboard. I love fabric with stars and most every quilt I have done has star

Several days later I received numerous calls from a different person at this agency to schedule the appointment. She gave me the address of 272 Duffy Ave. in Hicksville and told me to bring some recent photographs of my daughter with us.
Never at any point during any of my conversations, did they refer to this comapny as "New Faces Model Talent and Development" just as "MTD". Now I understand why.
As I was a bit suspcious, I did some research and while there website does come up when you search for Model Talent Development in Hicksville, NY the address the website provides is on Woodbury Rd. and in small print on the website it does give the name New Faces Model Talent Development which evidently many, many people have been scammed and ripped off by.
Do not fall prey to these people!! Thankfully I listened to my gut instinct and found out what they were really about and will not be making the scheduled appointment.

Regional News Briefs
Police find explosives in Germantown home
A Germantown house was cordoned off Tuesday night after police found explosives there earlier in the day, police said.
After receiving a tip, police were sent to the home near County Line Road and Fond du Lac Ave. about 2 p.m., found explosives and arrested a 33-year-old man who lives there.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office bomb squad were contacted and the explosives will be removed from the home on Wednesday, police said.
Couple accused in mistreatment of horses
A man and woman have been charged in Kenosha County after five horses were found starved to death and 18 others malnourished and emaciated on their property in Pleasant Prairie.
Paula S. Moctezuma, 62, and David E. White, 60, are charged with one felony count of animal cruelty resulting in death.
On April 9, authorities executed a search warrant at the property, where the dead horses were found among live horses in two barns, and numerous animal carcasses and skeletal remains were found in a pasture, according to the criminal complaint.
The surviving horses were so malnourished that their rib cages were visible and their hips protruded. Some were standing in stalls two-feet deep in mud, urine and fecal matter, the complaint says.
If convicted, Moctezuma and White could be sentenced to up to three-and-a-half years in prison and fined up to $10,000, the complaint said.
Second suspect arrested in Kenosha slayings
A Chicago man charged in two fatal shootings in Kenosha on April 5 was arrested in Chicago on Tuesday evening, Kenosha police said.
DeQuan J. Young, 20, of Chicago has been charged in the deaths, along with Darshawn Frison, 17, of Kenosha. Frison was arrested April 18. He and Young each are charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide.
The victims were Zachary A. Hernandez, 20, of Kenosha, and Carlos Garcia, 23, of Racine.
Man, 51, killed in fire at Sheboygan apartment
Sheboygan - A 51-year-old man was killed in a fire at a 16-unit apartment building Tuesday.
The victim was identified as Randi R. Hein.
When firefighters arrived, heavy black smoke was visible and the first-floor hallway was impassible. Many occupants were rescued from second-floor residences.
A cause and damage estimate has not been determined.
Lawyer convicted of sex with teen loses license
Madison - The state Supreme Court revoked an attorney's law license Tuesday for having sex with a teenage girl.
According to court documents, Joseph Engl of Sheboygan contacted a 15-year-old girl via email, picked her up in November 2011 and had sexual contact with her. He pleaded no contest in Manitowoc County to child enticement-sexual contact and sexual assault of a child under 16. He was sentenced to three years in prison.
The court called his conduct disturbing. According to the order, Engl agreed revocation was appropriate.
Engl was convicted in 2004 for using a computer to set up a sexual encounter with a detective posing as a 14-year-old girl. He was sentenced to probation and the Supreme Court publicly reprimanded him.
Importation of Madison man's rhino trophy OK'd
For the first time since the black rhinoceros was listed as endangered in 1980, federal officials are allowing a hunted-rhino trophy to be imported to the U.S.
David K. Reinke of Madison said he killed the rhino in 2009 as part of a conservation effort. He said the 34-year-old male was sterile but still crowded out fertile rivals. Reinke said killing it actually helps the population.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service approved Reinke's request in March to bring the body back. They said Reinke also contributed $175,000 into Namibia's Game Products Trust Fund.
But the decision angers wildlife supporters.
Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the United States said the decision sets a dangerous precedent that encourages trophy hunters to kill endangered animals.
Opinion says deputies can't be supervisors
A sheriff's deputy may not serve as a county supervisor, according to an opinion issued Tuesday by Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen.
Van Hollen issued the formal opinion in response to a 2011 request from Shawano County, where a tribal law enforcement officer, who is also deputized by the sheriff but receives no county pay, was interested in also serving on the board of supervisors.
The opinion cites state statute that declares county supervisor incompatible with "any other county office or position of county employment." Van Hollen says a deputy sheriff, even one working without pay, is such a position.
Van Hollen said because the board sets the budget for the sheriff's department, a deputy-as-supervisor might act more favorable toward the department because of his status. Conversely, he found, a sheriff might give preferable treatment to a deputy he knows sits on the board that controls the sheriff's budget.
Man rescued after night stranded on ice
Superior - Crews have rescued a 41-year-old man Tuesday who spent the night on a piece of ice on the St. Louis River in Superior. The Superior Fire Department was called about 3 a.m. Tuesday after a passer-by heard someone shouting for help on the ice. The stranded man had been surrounded by open water about 300 yards from shore since 9 p.m. Monday. He apparently had been in the water at least once and was showing signs of hypothermia.
Superior police, an ambulance and the St. Louis County Rescue Squad assisted in the rescue.
The Duluth News Tribune reported the man was treated and released from St. Luke's hospital. No information was given about why the man was on the river.

Thanks SSA & Mike. Both your threads were very detailed tonight and offered a large amount of info. Everyone's thread has been appreciated.
So the 270 is based on the 30-03 case. I don't believe I've ever seen that cartridge. Seen allot of old obsolete ones over the years. But not that one.
Shotgun 693: We'll have to see if someone can fill in that blank spot concerning your question? I'm sure someone out here must remember its name. You and I, we'll sit back and see what happens.

As Samantha L. Quigley of American Forces Press Service is reporting, the USO will build new Family Centers at both the National Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, MD, and at Fort Belvoir in Virginia. We are proud to support our wounded troops and their families in this way. Below is an excerpt from the report. Click here to read the full story.
"USO officials plan to build family centers at the National Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, Md., and Fort Belvoir, Va., to continue the USO's tradition of bringing troops a piece of home.
The project was inspired by the Army Community Services center at Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, said Sloan Gibson, USO Inc. president, who toured the facility in March. He said he got to thinking about construction under way at Bethesda and Fort Belvoir for new military medical facilities and decided the new facilities needed similar centers.
The 25,000 square-foot facility at Bethesda will feature phone banks and computer banks where people can stay in touch with home, as well as places to get together and watch movies and football games and for troops and their families to play video games.
"We want to have a huge kitchen, because we've learned from [Brooke] in particular … that that winds up being a real gathering place," Gibson said. "It's a very important part of creating that environment that makes people feel very much like they're at home."
USO officials also want to include a major training facility, as many of the wounded warriors and their families end up spending months – and sometimes years – at the medical facilities…"

Josesito Ready: I'll Break Canelo's Unbeaten Record!
By Phil D. Jay
Unlikely hero Josesito Lopez will face his toughest challenge to date on Saturday night and is already planning another shock following on from his 'Rocky moment' against Victor Ortiz at the Staples Center in June.
The 28 year-old broke the former world champion's jaw in two places when highly unfancied in the contest and now fights in his maiden WBC title test against formidable Mexican superstar and 154lb belt holder Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
Former light-welterweight Lopez is now attempting to bulk-up sufficiently from 140lbs to the light-middleweight limit in just twelve months and has been putting in the hours in training to get himself in peak physical condition for the MGM Grand contest.
"It's been a great camp. We all worked hard and I'm living my dream," Lopez told World Boxing News.
Lopez was then asked if he was beginning to tire of the Rocky tag he has been given since the Ortiz bout and answered: "Tired of the Rocky tag? No way. I love it. I'm a big fan of the Rocky movies. How many are there, 20 or 25?" he joked.
"Seriously, 'The Rocky Moment' that was written about my big win over Victor Ortiz in June worked in my favour and I'm planning to pull the big upset again with Canelo on September 15th.
"I expect a wild fight. The fans will love it as we are both warriors," he continued.
"I'm an intelligent fighter and so is Canelo, but when the action gets hot, we both battle."
Not many have given Lopez any hope of producing an upset over 41-fight unbeaten Alvarez, but the Californian is confident that he can be victorious in Las Vegas and put his name up with the best in the world.
"My victory over Canelo will lead to the stars," said Lopez. "I'll be the elite fighter everyone is talking about and the guy that broke superstar Canelo's undefeated record."
Win or lose at the weekend, there is already talk of a possible rematch with Ortiz after the two shared eight entertaining rounds until the 'Vicious' could no longer stand the pain of the twin breaks in the jawbone.
"If that's what the fans, the promoters and the networks want, why not? I've watched the tape and it was a great fight!"

Seriously, Josesito gets sigged if he pulls this off somehow. Ortiz was crazy enough, but if he actually somehow beats Canelo he'll be approaching all-time badass territory. I don't think it'll happen though.Comment by BooRikka on 09-10-2012

Henry Cavill / Bradley Cooper movies debut in 2012's worst weekend and one of the worst of last two decades
Box Office Mojo has released box office results – or rather, estimates – for this weekend's moviegoing attendance in North America. Okay, so it's not a catastrophe akin to the record-breaking melt of the polar ice caps, but it was a catastrophic weekend at the U.S. and Canada box office all the same. (Image: the upcoming Man of Steel's Henry Cavill in The Cold Light of Day.)
If studio estimates are accurate, the Sept. 7-9 weekend is by far the worst of 2012 – the top twelve movies grossed about $30 million less than the previous Worst 2012 Box-Office Weekend, Aug. 24-26. And if inflation is taken into account (as it always should so as to better reflect the actual number of tickets sold), it's also one of the very worst of the last two decades: Adjusted for inflation, this weekend's estimated $51.28 million total is the lowest for the second weekend in September since 1991 – the year Kenneth Branagh / Emma Thompson's Dead Again topped the domestic box office with $4.36 million (approx. $8.3 million today) at 789 theaters.
Box office: No movie above $10 million for the first time in four years
For the first time since the Nicolas Cage bomb Bangkok Dangerous opened with $7.78 million (approx. $8.69 million today) in September 2008, no movie managed to earn more than $10 million in the United States and Canada. Among the top twelve movies, none boasted a per-theater average above $5,000 and only one – Lionsgate's horror thriller The Possession – had an average above $2,000 (an estimated $3,352 per venue to be exact).
The Words, The Cold Light of Day bomb
Once again, if studio estimates are accurate, two new wide releases, Bradley Cooper / Zoe Saldana's mystery / romantic drama The Words (with $5 million at 2,801 locations, no. 3 this weekend) and Henry Cavill / Bruce Willis' virtually unmarketed thriller The Cold Light of Day (with $1.8 million at 1,511 locations, no. 13), have delivered two of the worst wide-release opening weekends ever (once again, if inflation is taken into account).
Adjusting for inflation the Box Office Mojo chart, the Summit Entertainment release The Cold Light of Day had one of the worst 50 wide release openings of the last three decades, averaging a paltry $1,176 per venue. With $1,763, CBS Films' The Words is no. 125 on the chart. (Another 2012 Bradley Cooper movie, Hit and Run, is no. 89, with $1,558.)
Box office: Movies down sharply, low per-theater averages
With the exception of the Will Ferrell / Zach Galifianakis satirical comedy The Campaign (and new entry The Words), every single movie among the top twelve was down 40 percent or more compared to last weekend. Steep drop-off rates despite the fact that four movies added theaters, including sizable increases by both John Hillcoat / Shia LaBeouf / Tom Hardy's bootlegging drama Lawless (250 venues) and Dinesh D'Souza and John Sullivan's anti-Obama documentary 2016 Obama's America (270 venues).
Even the George Lucas / Steven Spielberg / Harrison Ford 1981 adventure classic Raiders of the Lost Ark, beloved by zillions and all, was a box office disappointment. If studio estimates are accurate, the Best Picture nominee grossed only $1.72 million (no. 14 on the chart) at 267 (pricier) IMAX locations, averaging a so-so $6,461 per site.
Late summer box office curse?
But is the second weekend in September cursed? Well … Steven Soderbergh's all-star disease drama Contagion, featuring the likes of Matt Damon, Marion Cotillard, and Gwyneth Paltrow, opened with $22.4 million last year. Milla Jovovich's Resident Evil: Afterlife grossed $26.65 million in 2010, while Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself collected $23.44 million in 2009. In 2007, Russell Crowe / Christian Bale's 3:10 to Yuma opened with $14.03 million (approx. $16.3 million today), and in 2005 The Exorcism of Emily Rose had an excellent $30.05 million debut (approx. $37.6 million today).
So, the answer is no. Though historically a weak weekend, situated between the end of summer and the beginning of the fall/awards season, there's no Second Weekend in September Box-Office Curse. What happened this year is that Hollywood studios and independent distributors released movies people didn't want to watch.
Bradley Cooper / The Words fail to top box office chart
The Possession, Ole Bornedal's horror flick featuring Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick, was the top movie at the North American box office this dismal Sept. 7-9 weekend – one of the worst box office weekends of the last two decades. According to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo, the Lionsgate release took in an estimated $9.5 million (cume: $33.34 million), once again performing above expectations. (Image: Bradley Cooper The Words.)
Following two no. 1 slots for The Expendables 2 and one for The Possession, this weekend has granted Lionsgate its fourth consecutive domestic box office crown.
At no. 2 this weekend was John Hillcoat's bootlegging drama Lawless, starring the Transformers movies' Shia LaBeouf and The Dark Knight Rises' Tom Hardy. The Weinstein Company release also featuring Alice in Wonderland's Mia Wasikowska and The Help's Jessica Chastain raked in an estimated $6 million (cume: $23.52m).
The no. 3 movie was new entry The Words, starring The Hangover's Bradley Cooper and Avatar's Zoe Saldana. The CBS Films release collected a paltry $5 million at 2,801 locations. The Words was followed by the Sylvester Stallone / Jason Statham / Liam Hemsworth actioner The Expendables 2 with $4.75 million (cume: $75.41m).
At no. 5 was the Tony Gilroy / Jeremy Renner thriller The Bourne Legacy with $4 million, and a cume of $103.7 million. The only other top-twelve movie with a cume above $100 million is Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale / Anne Hathaway's The Dark Knight Rises, with $437.84 million.
Weekend box Office: The Dark Knight Rises, 2016 Obama's America very close
Rounding out this weekend's top twelve movies were the following: at no. 6, ParaNorman with $3.86 million (cume: $45.09 million), followed by The Odd Life of Timothy Green with $3.65 million (cume: $43 million), the Will Ferrell / Zach Galifianakis political satire The Campaign with $3.53 million (cume: $79.47 million), and The Dark Knight Rises with $3.285 million.
Also: Dinesh D'Souza and John Sullivan's anti-Obama documentary 2016 Obama's America with $3.281 million (cume: $26.08m) at no. 10, followed by Meryl Streep / Tommy Lee Jones / Steve Carell's Hope Springs with $2.8 million (cume: $57.51m) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Premium Rush with $2.3 million (cume: $16.73m).
Needless to say, there'll likely be some switching around when box office actuals are released on Monday. Estimates for The Dark Knight Rises and 2016 Obama's America were particularly close.
Not on Top Twelve chart: The Cold Light of Day, Raiders of the Lost Ark
And if box office estimates are accurate, neither the upcoming Superman Henry Cavill / Bruce Willis thriller The Cold Light of Day nor the IMAX rerelease of George Lucas / Steven Spielberg / Harrison Ford's Raiders of the Lost Ark cracked the top twelve box office chart. At no. 13, new entry The Cold Light of Day opened with an abysmal $1.8 million at 1,511 sites. At no. 14, Raiders of the Lost Ark grossed $1.72 million at 267 (costlier) IMAX locations, averaging a so-so $6,461 per venue.
On September 18, "Indiana Jones: The Complete Collection," which includes 1981 Best Picture nominee Raiders of the Lost Ark, will be out on Blu-ray.

Women's Volleyball
Dec. 18, 2013
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Three University of San Diego women's volleyball players have earned American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American Accolades, highlighted by senior middle hitter Chloe Ferrari's second-team distinction. Taking home All-Americn honorable mention accolades are junior opposite Alaysia Brown, and senior libero C'era Oliveira.
Ferrari, the 2013 WCC Player of the Year, came back strong in 2013 after suffering a season-ending injury in 2012 to tally a team-leading 337 kills with an impressive .444 hitting percentage, as well as 100 blocks and 86 digs. Ferrari was named the WCC Player of the month for both September and October, as she helped guide USD to a program-best 26-4 overall record on the season. Ferrari was also tabbed WCC Player of the Week three times this season, and she was selected to the All-Regional team in Lincoln, Neb., after helping lead USD into the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Ferrari completes her Torero career with the best career hitting percentage in program history at .401, and her .444 hitting percentage in 2013 is a new single-season record. Ferrari also capped her impressive Torero career with 329 career blocks, placing her seventh all-time, and she also recorded 1,228 career kills, placing her 10th all-time in that category.
Brown, a 6-2 junior from Fresno, Calif., also had a great 2013 campaign, as she recorded the second most kills on the team with 322 (2.95 kps), while hitting for a .282 clip, and was third on the team in blocks with 61. Brown figured a huge role in the Toreros bolstering their best overall record in program history, especially in a 17-match winning streak, that saw USD not only claim the WCC championship, but advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. During this 17-match winning streak, Brown recorded the second most kills with 188, while hitting for a .292 clip, and had they third most amount of blocks with 42.
Oliveira, a 5-5 senior from Honolulu, Hawaii, capped her impressive Torero career with 520 digs (4.77 dps), which is the fourth most single-season digs in program history. Oliveira capped the regular-season with an impressive 34-dig performance in the WCC championship match on Nov. 23. Not only was the 34 digs a career-high, but it was the third most single-match digs in USD history, and for her efforts she was named WCC Player of the Week. For her career, Olivera has recorded 1,337 digs, which is the third most in program history.

Historical Traveler Reviews Le Meridien Atlanta Perimeter Dunwoody
Did not like the W
I just returned from a one night stay at the W. I'm surprised at all the positive reviews. I stayed in a standard room which was decent size but very stark with white walls and little in the way of decorations. The furniture was very worn and reminded me of low end IKEA furnishings with scratches and water stains. Besides the bed, the only other place to sit was on a lounge chair in the far corner of the room. The bathroom had a nice shower but was very small with only one sink and little room to move around. There was no shower door which created a nice look but it was very easy to flood the small bathroom. The tv was old and probably 25 inch in size. On the plus side the bed was very comfortable and the linens and pillows were nice. There was a combined dvd/vcr player and a cd player in the room.
The cooling was very irratic and every time the ac came on it would blow right on you which was annoying. The lobby was very active with a busy night life and it was walking distance to a large mall but I didn't get to see it. Overall the hotel felt like a Holiday INN which had be redone with dark lighting and contemporary furniture. I must say overall I was expecting much more.
New level of incompetence
We began our getaway at the W by being given the keys to a suite after booking on the internet what we believed to be reasonable rate. Upon entering the suite, we immediately noticed clothing, a cell phone, an unmade bed and the to our shock that the room was still occupied. We were then given new keys to a room that was not a suite and did not match the ameneties we booked and had received confirmation of. Later that night we retired to our room and were disturbed by a houskeeper that was concerned a hair dryer provided in the bathroom by the hotel was missing its cloth bag covering. The dresser door in the wardrobe was so warped that it didnt open no matter how strong the pursuasion. Our chance to sleep in Saturday morning was ruined by the front desk calling early in the morning to say our credit card needed to be run through again. At check out we were told there was no need to run our card again. My wife asked to see the bill and we found that we had been billed $393.00 for the night which was over twice our internet booking rate. The Desk manager said they never have a rate that high and spent some time correcting it. I am still worried that it could prove to be a problem. I believe I could find more competence booking a night at a local fraternity house. THe bar is about 12 feet long, and the retaurant is cheap tables and chairs set up in the lobby that appeared to be an afterthought. The rave reviews we read that influenced us to try this hotel must be from those who just do not get out much. Do not waste your money on this amatuer management nightmare.
I have seen better
The W Atlanta is and always will have some of the best beds in all of Atlanta, but so do all the W's through out the world. This W served its purpose of a big room that I needed on my trip yet i still dont think that this was one of the best W's I have stayed at. I stayed at this W some years ago and I always had remebered it being better. It was still a great stay but there was just something missing, mabey it was just the room. I do not know but if u find a great rate like I did stay there but you dont have to go out of your way to get a room. There are other amazing hotels in Atlanta.
When I die I hope heaven has rooms like the W!!!!!
My husband sent me here on a retreat from the kids.When I entered my suite I almost cried everything was perfect!!!!!! they had stocked the kitchen with all my favorites,left a selection of cd's amd dvds plus complimentary drink cards.The bar is awesome with the best bartenders ( Way to go Drew and Chris!!!!!!)I can not wait to stay here again!!! This time the whole family is coming for Urban Nutcracker I made reservations before I left!!!!! PerfectionnWWWWWW!!!!
Poorly Maintained Property
My wife and I wanted a quiet weekend away from the kids. We selected a "package" deal and prepaid via website. Upon check-in we did not receive our complemtary items. We found the room to be well decorated but with light bulbs burned out. The following morning I went to the front desk and was switched into the room that came with the package (200 sq ft larger - which should have been done at check-in without my complaining about lighting), received the complemtary items, and breakfast coupons (additional items that should have been made available at check-in.) The second suite was much larger and had only one burned out bulb. We spent $50 on breakfast for a waffle ($10), eggs ($9), milk, juice, and toast. Far too expensive for the paltry and bland food items. Upon check-out we were over charged for internet (double billed) and restaurant charges, while these were corrected no explanation or apology were offered. From this experience I would not recommend the W to anyone!
W Atlanta is spectacular!
We stayed in the spectacular room, also called the superior suite, and it was amazing! It had two private balconies, full kitchen, seperate living room and the Best Bed ever! Very clean with lots of towels in the bathroom and Aveda bath products. The late night food menu is not so good but we had breakfast in the room and it was outstanding. The staff was extremely friendly. I would most definitely stay here again!
Always a good experience
I stay at this hotel every 6-8 weeks and have always had an excellent stay. Even when I have encountered problems (which is bound to happen no matter how nice the hotel), the staff has been very willing to either rectify the problem or to make amends in order to make my stay wonderful. As with all the W's, the beds are incredibly comfortable and they have the rainfall showers. The decor is very Zen and relaxing and they have a good gym as well. The only negative is their breakfast room service - it is overpriced and not very good other than the coffee. For $20, breakfast should be excellent. Overall a great place to stay in Atlanta - they are a standard by which I judge other hotels.
Yeah baby yeah!!!
While my husband and I don't do our travels around Atlanta much we took a quick liking to the W. on our weekend to the Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Go #8!!! I must say, that is one fine piece of Motel! By the way, they get more channels than our trailer's 8' dish. "W" must stand for "Who's Who."
Keep an eye on your belongings
I stayed at this hotel in Jan 2004 and on the 2nd night I noticed that my beautiful antique neckalace which I laid on the bedroom desk disappeared while I was out for a 4 hour period. Housekeeping had been in there but according to security only the minibar person had been there. THis didn't make any sense. I was told that I would get a call from security regarding the missing item the next day, but didn't.
I found out later that a friend of mine stayed on the same floor in Aug 2003 and left a few of her items in the closet when she left. She called back that day and noone could find them.
I have a very bitter taste in my mouth regarding this hotel and will never stay here again.
One word: WOW!!!!
I have stayed here 4 times in the last few years. From the great staff, clean rooms, and heavenly beds to the hundreds of candles in the lobby at night, the lively music playing in the background, and the awesome food at Savu, this hotel is what created my desire to stay at other W Hotels all around the country!

Today is the last day of the Conference and our last full day in Atlanta. Drive to Orlando tomorrow to join the cruise on the 11th. I left the hotel early and caught the shuttle bus to the Martin Luther King Jnr Historic site. It included the Ebeneza Baptist Church that his father and he were ministers.

While coal industry mouthpieces like the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity tout coal as the second-coming of Jesus for the United States, the latest Vital Signs report shows that coal industry employment has fallen by half in the last 20 years, despite a one-third increase in production.
According to the new report out today by the Worldwatch Institute, a transition to renewable energy sources promises significant global job gains at a time when the coal industry has been hemorrhaging jobs for years.
An estimated 2.3 million people worldwide currently work either directly in renewables or indirectly in supplier industries. The solar thermal industry employs at least 624,000 people, the wind power industry 300,000, and the solar PV industry 170,000. More than 1 million people work in the biomass and biofuels sector, while small-scale hydropower employs 39,000 individuals and geothermal employs 25,000.
These figures are expected to swell substantially as private investment and government support for alternative energy sources grow.
Will the US finally wake up and smell the opportunity of a cleaner energy sector?
Jeff Biggers on the Huffington Post points to the coal-grown Appalachian region in West Virginia as a potential boom-town for wind power:
If Senator Barack Obama ever needs a living symbol of change we can believe in, and a hopeful way to transcend the dirty politics of our failed energy policies, he should go and see the future of renewable energy in the Coal River Valley in West Virginia."

Debates are about the dumbest way imaginable to do science.
1) Anything serious wants graphs, not just words.
2) But whether with words or graphs, it is WAY, WAY easier to cherry-pick and generate confusion and doubts in an audience than to generate clarity.
I've seen people write short articles or letters-to-editors in which they've managed to include a dozen or so of the arguments listed in http://www.skepticalscience.com/argument.php .
Every one of those arguments would be wrong, long-ago debunked, with plenty of scientific references. But it takes far less time to throw all those arguments up in the hope that one or more of them sticks with a listener, than it takes to carefully and patiently debunk each one so that a general audience understands. There's probably an inherent 10:1 or 20:1 ratio.
All it takes to "win" a debate is to generate 10 wrong arugments and hope that an audience member worries about one of them.
Just go down the list above and you'll see what I mean.

The merger of Sun
The merger of Sun Microsystems and Oracle Corp is something to look out for. IBM was in talks and appeared on the verge of closing the deal, but negotiations fell apart. Now it will become half of Oracle Sun, but it will likely mean layoffs, as any large merger usually does. Payday loans to buy stock in Oracle may not be the greatest idea, since the stock has dropped almost a dollar since the news broke. However, this goes a long way for credit repair for the Sun sale, into Oracle Sun.
