An unexpected sight apparently greeted drivers and others with clear views of the night sky in New Jersey and elsewhere.
A meteor that streaked across the sky is being reported by Twitter users in New Jersey, and in other spots along the Eastern seaboard.
"Just saw the fullest, closest meteor I have ever seen in my life as I was driving along Rt. 80 in NJ. That was so cool," said Twitter user @alexeliasof about 8 p.m. as he was driving in northern New Jersey.
About 8:23 p.m., another user @jjthedj wrote about the airborne ball of fire from Union County.
"I just witnessed a #meteor streaking across the sky here in Summit, NJ. It was spectacular to see. Didn't have my camera ready. :("
Twitter user @alexeliasof was driving with his father on westbound Interstate 80 about 20 miles into New Jersey when they saw a huge flash of light.
"We saw the sky light up and we thought it was lightning," said Eliasof, who was driving home from Penn State, where he is a junior.
"I looked out the side window and saw it was a meteor," said Eliasof, 21. "It was moving quickly enough that within a second it was gone."
He had seen massive meteor showers before from a mountaintop perch in Maine, but nothing as large as this.
He said it was about the size of an airplane flying at a medium-or high-altitude.
"This was far and away bigger than anything I've ever seen in my life," he said.
Another driver in South Jersey also tweeted he saw the meteor. @Jim_Gardner wrote, "I totally saw it driving home from work in Voorhees, NJ!!!! Thought it was lightning!! Haha. So cool."
These tweets were some of hundreds generated on Twitter this evening. The American Meteor Society said on its website that it had received more than 350 reports of a fireball over the East Coast. The reports came from 15 states, Washington, D.C., and Canada, the society said.
Using the information from those reports, the society concluded the meteor cut a diagonal path over Hunterdon, Somerset, Middlesex and Monmouth counties.
Detailed reports submitted to the society from throughout New Jersey described a ball of light blue and orange light shooting east across the sky for between two and five seconds.
In Hillsborough one person described a "glowing, smokey trail" that streaked across the sky below the moon before breaking into smaller pieces with a flash.
The National Weather Service in Mount Holly had not received any reports of the meteor sighting.
A tweet declaring a meteor may have landed in the Grovers Mill section of West Windsor Township was unfounded, according to local police, who said they have not received any phone calls tonight regarding the event.
Last month, a meteor streaked across the sky and exploded over Russia's Ural Mountains with the power of an atomic bomb, injuring more than 1,100 people.
• Geminid meteor shower 2010 is coming to N.J.
• Meteor that shatters above Russia injures at least 500

A small thing, but no less of an accomplishment especially where I've been emotionaly the last two months. I'm back on track today, and I feel motivated again.
Sounds minor, but it's not - I've lost enough fat that I can lean forward and place my elbows on my knees and my chin in my hands, and not have pain or trouble breathing. It's SO relaxing to sit this way.
Primal eating in a nutshell: If you are hungry, eat Primal food until you are satisfied (not stuffed). Then stop. Wait until you're hungry again. Repeat.

Reading Griffs triumph (able to put elbows on knees and rest head in hands) had me trying some contortions of my own and I discovered I could cross my legs - "like a lady" - and be comfortable and sit that way! Silly stuff - fat gats in the way in so many places. I feel like a kid playing "can you do this" challanges with my self. Hey - maybe I'm learning how to play like a kid again - just for fun! Anybody else have trouble just playing like a kid?
Hello all - today is my 38th birthday, I had my physical yesterday and just got the results from my blood work. I also had a chance to compare my pre-primal and post primal results and I can only call this year a triumph for my health - before I put down the numbers I would like to thank all of you for keeping me motivated to stick with the primal way of life.
First off my doc has offically put it in my charts that I reversed my type 2 diabeties! Completely cured - no longer insulin resistant becuase of the primal diet.
Next off the list is hyper tension: last year WITH Verapamil and hydrochlorot my blood pressure ranged from 150-175 over 90-100. I stopped both meds in the fall after a few months of primal and now it ranges from 100-115 over 65-75. Yesterday hyper-tension was removed from my charts! Ive had high blood pressure since I was 13 years old - unfraggin real.
The doc was very impressed with those changes - the physical changes are even more dramatic:
last year - 278 pounds, waist 48 inches and body fat 38%
yesterday 203 pounds, waist 32 inches and body fat 9% (I have visable abs for the first time in my life!)
I then told him about the the primal diet and I guess paleo is starting to go main stream because he didn't freak when I told him about it -I have been worried about my lipid panel due to the amount of saturated fat I eat (I sometimes eat upwards of 5 pounds of rare red meat on squat/deadlift days and have been known to down up to a dozen eggs in a day) To my surprise my doc told he EXPECTED my numbers to be down with my high fat diet - this from a Kaiser doctor - times are a changing people! I just got e-mailed the results:
last year / now
Cholesterol 204 139
Triglyceride 211 67
Cholesterol, non-HDL 170 82
so much for Ansel Keys B.S. lipid hypothisis!
Agian I would like to thank all you that post in this forum for the support - and I would like any of you just starting out to see the kind of differance 1 year of primal can make- grok on!

Just made myself a fantastic Primal breakfast of eggs, sausage and sauteed onions with lots of butter and cream cheese... and to top it off, pulled out a box of pants from storage that didn't use to fit me. What size was I wearing a month ago when I started this lifestyle? 50x32. What size fits me now? 46x32. BOO YAH BABY!!
I had to buy something to get change for the bus.. and didn't want anything! I usually just get sweets or something, but I actually. Didn't. Want them. Says the former sugar addict! I bought some 90% chocolate bars for my mum as an early easter present instead.. enought to get her through 4 months thanks to a 2 for £2.50 deal XD

Tottenham Hotspur's Welsh sensation Gareth Bale will not live up to the hype if he ditches Spurs for another club.
Can Gareth's production mirror that of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo if the Welshman moves to Bayern Munich, Real Madrid or Barcelona?
The hype around Bale is comical and this article will dispel some common misconceptions about his performances this season for THFC.

Kenny Almond was just about ready to call it quits.
After somewhat of a falling out with East Ascension, the 67-year-old coach had retirement on his mind until he heard about the vacancy at Zachary.
The opportunity was too enticing for either sides to pass on, and a few short weeks later Almond had the job.
"I really was thinking about just not coaching, really," Almond said. "I don't think I would have gone back to East Ascension. But then this job came open, and I had no clue that they might be interested in me. I made a call or two and it seemed like there was some real interest. It's been exciting. I'm looking forward to it. It's a beautiful place and a good community. I think we're going to generate some support and do our best to win some games."
The former Woodlawn and Lee High coach marks the fourth new hire in five years for Zachary's basketball program, which hasn't won a playoff game in more than a decade.
Almond will also be the third coach the Bronco seniors have played for in their high school careers, following Bakari Beckwith's two-year stint from 2011-2013 and Brian Hargroder's only season last year.
"It's difficult," said Zachary senior Sam Bienemy. "Sometimes it messes up some players' attitudes because you can't really build a relationship with one coach. You've got to keep going from this coach to this coach to this coach. You can't really get attached to one coach because next year another coach is going to come in and change it all up."
But the Broncos are hoping the fourth time is a charm, and Almond's track record gives them plenty reason to believe so.
His 876-388 career mark, which ranks seventh nationally, includes three Class 4A state championships during his time at Woodlawn (1999, 2002, 2003), along with three runner-up finishes as a Panther and one other with Lee in 1982.
He spent his past 10 years at East Ascension, compiling a 255-103 record with the Spartans to go along with four district titles and eight playoff appearances.
"When they said (the new coach) was Coach Almond, I researched it and I looked to see who he really was," Bienemy said. "I thought, 'Wow, this is a great move. This is big. This could be the turning point in our basketball program at Zachary.' He came in and started talking about winning, so I knew he was serious. Coach Almond talks about winning every single game, and that's why I like his mentality. He said we were going to start winning right now."
That's the mindset Almond hopes to instill in his players as he approaches what could very well be his final stint as a head coach.
Zachary posted a meager 9-19 record last season and missed the Class 5A playoffs, but Almond thinks all the right pieces are in play to build the Broncos' basketball success.
"We've got enough talent to be pretty good, I think," said Almond, who was honored for his significant and long-term contribution to basketball in the state by being named Louisiana's Mr. Basketball earlier this year. "Are we going to win the state championship here this year? Well, that's a dream. That'd be far-fetched. In the next three or four years, that might be more realistic. It's hard to win a state championship. But having a successful program is definitely in the possibilities and certainly what we want to do."
The key pieces this season start with the senior trio of Bienemy, Herbert Breaux and Mike Morris. Injuries set Breaux and Morris back a year ago, but with those two coming back into the mix along with Dunham transfer Matt Williams, Zachary already has a good foundation to build upon this season.
Add in the promising underclassmen like Shyron White and Demoine Bowie, and Almond thinks the Broncos could be winning for years to come.
"We've got some young kids that have got a lot of promise," Almond said. "I think we've got a chance to be better, no question about that. Last year's season didn't go well for whatever reason. We want to see if we can change that. These young guys, the freshmen and sophomores, they're pretty good players. So that means the future is good, I hope. The seniors are a good little group too. I think we've got a good mix."
Almond reinforced that he wants to win, and he wants to win now.
But even with that in mind, he isn't setting his sights too high. Perennial powerhouse and last year's Class 5A runner-up Scotlandville also sits in Zachary's District 4-5A.
For now, Almond wants to get the Broncos back into postseason play and taste a little bit of that March madness again.
"We need to get that shot of getting in the playoffs," he said. "We're in a tough league. We've got a good nucleus of guys who play just basketball. We'd like to win a playoff game this year. To win state, you've got to be a little bit lucky. But if you're playing in the month of March, you're pretty good. That means you've won some games in the playoffs. That would be a goal for us. That's a pretty lofty goal, but why not set it up there?"

LIA Monthly Economic Report - The Looming "Fiscal Cliff"
By: Dr. Pearl M. Kamer, LIA Chief Economist
The U.S. labor market, consumer and housing sectors are continuing to show signs of recovery. However, the looming "fiscal cliff" is increasing the level of uncertainty concerning future economic activity and many businesses have put investment and hiring plans on hold until some of this uncertainty is resolved.
U.S. employers created 171,000 payroll jobs in October, indicating that the pace of job growth has accelerated in recent months. This pace remains too slow to materially reduce U.S. unemployment rates. More than 40% of the nearly five million Americans who currently receive extended unemployment insurance benefits stand to lose those benefits if the federally-backed emergency unemployment programs adopted by Congress in 2008 expire as scheduled at the end of this year. About 2.1 million Americans receive payments under these programs. In some states workers have been able to receive up to 99 weeks of benefits. It is estimated that the direct hit to consumer spending caused by this loss of benefits would be relatively modest, about $60 billion through 2013. Nevertheless, this could reduce U.S. GDP growth by several tenths of a percentage point next year.

Mining Publication: Computer Modeling of Catch Benches to Mitigate Rockfall Hazards in Open Pit Mines
Original creation date: July 2000
A computer analysis of bench stability has been developed to account for multiple occurrences of potential slope-failure modes in discontinuous rock masses. Bench-scale plane shears and tetrahedral wedges are simulated and stochastically analyzed to estimate the probability of retaining specified catch-bench widths. This geotechnical information is useful in designing bench configurations to improve pit-slope stability and help alleviate rockfall hazards.

Geologists warn China's dam-building frenzy in seismically-active regions is putting millions at risk
This entry was posted in Civilizations unraveling, Earth Changes, Earth Watch, Earthquake Omens?, Environmental Threat, High-risk potential hazard zone. Bookmark the permalink.
14 Responses to Geologists warn China's dam-building frenzy in seismically-active regions is putting millions at risk
I don't see how their government could not be aware of the problem. My guess is that they know it but are going to proceed anyway. After all, most of the people who would be affected would largely be provincial peasants/workers which China has plenty of. (Don't forget that the government of China is still communist and therefore not exactly considerate of its peoples needs.) Of very real concern is the fact that China is doing all of this dam building in a highly geologically unstable region that has already produced one large quake under a newly filled reservoir. More of these quakes caused by human short-sightedness will lead to even more quakes as the surrounding faults adjust to the new pressure alignments left by powerful quakes. It must be giving the Chinese seismologists headaches!
Stan Deyo talked to a Maori "seer" years ago who said that when there is a massive dam failure in China, this will be a sign of…let me see if I can remember this exactly…a massive tsunami affecting the Upper Island of New Zealand, which will cause land to rise north of there so that the present North Island will extend much further into the sea…and of course the tsunami will cause much death in the North Island. Anyone interested in this dream-vision can find it on Stan's site, Standeyo.com, probably under Dream Visions. Stan also had a dream vision about Lake Taupo in the North Island, which is a SuperVolcano.
As Dennis says, it is horrible of the Chinese to go ahead with these dams in order to fund industrial progress, at the expense of traditional farmers. But they have been unable to control their population even with draconian abortion laws… what a nightmare!
Mariel I've read that Maori prophesy too. Here's the website, frightening.
I do not think they care about anything but themselves, just like here.. It is a shame to see, but we have one hope and I am sure glad that I am a believer.
"once-in-1000-years flood"
uh huh, right.
Sounds like the river near me that a few years ago had two "once in 500 years" floods a couple years apart.
Collateral damage.
The reason these dams are built is intended for the good of the Chinese people. For the past hundreds of years, the down stream provinces had serious flooding problems costing countless lives; these dams will ensure the majority of the poor people to continue to live a safe normal life. Besides, these dams generates enough clean electricity that even the remote villages can take a step forward and be able to watch a TV or use a fridge for the first time in their life now. Your media will probably not mention this, but the Chinese government is subsidising the villagers (who are extremely poor) to buy electrical appliances that are made in China – which in turns will creat jobs and businesses in many sectors. I do know there are sacrifices when building these dams, but in general, the intention is to help the MAJORITY of their people. Please don't just focus on the 1 in 1000 chance risk and come to the conclusion that the Chinese government could care less about her people.
Thank you for this information. If you had not enlightened us, we would never have see this side of it. My apoligies.
Nuclear power plants are almost all built on seismic faults, and intentionally. lol
Warn as much as you want, it will do nothing, nothing.
One starts to pray when one realizes who controls this world, for now and for still a very, very short time. The Beloved is taking His world back, so their dams are damned, anyway.
The dragon is aware of everything.
China Opens Three Gorges Dam sluices as water level is rising rapidly
"Water pours out of sluices of the Three Gorges Dam in Yichang, central China's Hubei Province, July 7, 2012. The Three Gorges Dam opened its sluices on Saturday as a flood with the peak flow of 56,000 cubic meters per second has pushed up the water level to more than 151 meters in its reservoir, six meters higher than its flood control level."

In a car accident type of way, this Clippers vs. Thunder matchup is becoming must-see TV. People all around the media and the league are hyping this one up, sarcastically dubbing it the "Clash of the Titans" and whatnot. And why not? The two teams are a combined 1-19. So somebody has to pick up win No. 2. Has to. Right?

A deep 2010 NBA Draft field is highlighted by three Kentucky Wildcats: John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, and Patrick Patterson. Many believe all three may go in the top 10 of the draft. I think all three will go in the top five, while five Wildcats in all will go in the first round.
The draft is June 24, and it's time for my first mock draft. There are a few surprises here, but come draft time, they won't be surprises anymore.

Comments about Japonesque Eyelashes, Basic Brown, 1 ea:
I like fake lashes that look natural and this one does exactly what I need. The color is brown the so that it wouldn't look like that you've put on too much makeup. I cut the 1/3 tail off and it looks amazing on me. The only thing that I am not happy with is the glue. I don't like to buy extra glue so I always just use the glue that comes with the lashes. But this glue bottle is so tight that every time I have to try so hard to open it and end up spill it on me. The good thing is, the glue easy to apply and works great.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dillsboro Couple Accused Of Heroin Overdoses At Playground
By Mike Perleberg
(Dillsboro, Ind.) – A Dillsboro couple is accused of overdosing on heroin in a fast food restaurant play area while their children were playing.
Tamica Jeffers, 33, and Robert Palmer, 37, were both found unresponsive in the play place at the McDonald's restaurant on North Bend Road in Hamilton County's Green Township on Sunday, March 9. The couple's children, ages five and eight, were with them at the time.
The two were taken to an area hospital for treatment for what police described as "life-threatening" overdoses. Investigators said they each admitted to using heroin.
They have since been released to authorities.
Palmer and Jeffers each appeared in Hamilton County court on Thursday to be arraigned, each on two counts of Child Endangering. The judge ordered Palmer be held on $10,000 bond. Jeffers' bond was set at $6,000.

Often with James you're talking smooth jazz-rock fusion and classy keyboard innovation. In this case we are also talking boredom, tedium and snoozy keyboard work. Above plodding rhythm backgrounds, the Missouri-born James, 41, plinks through the album in a desultory way at tunes he and arranger Rod Temperton wrote. The only sign of life is when James' old friend Grover Washington Jr. blasts through with a tenor sax solo on Love Power.

Predators include reef sharks, tunas, snappers, jacks, groupers, and barracudas. Juveniles may also be taken by trumpetfish. Pelagic eggs are commonly eaten by small bar jacks, yellowtail snappers, and the black durgon.
Because of their flattened shape and sharp caudal spines, it is difficult for predators to swallow blue tangs.
Defense from predators while grazing and spawning is also accomplished by schooling. Attacks are more often observed on solitary fish.
Known Predators:
- tunas (Scombridae)
- groupers (Serranidae)
- jacks (Carangidae)
- reef sharks (Carcharhinidae)
- snappers (Lutjanidae)
- barracudas (Sphyraenidae)
- trumpetfish (Aulostomus strigosus)
- black durgon (Melichthys niger)
- bar jacks (Carangoides ruber)
- yellowtail snappers (Ocyurus chrysurus)

A standoff near Shawnee ended peacefully on Friday night with a suicidal man taken into custody.
The house where the standoff happened is on Tribal Land.
Deputies had to shut down traffic on MacArthur Road as a precaution during the standoff.
Deputies told KOCO that a suicidal man was threatening to use explosives and was armed with a gun.
KOCO spoke with the negotiator who had him on the phone for nearly three hours.
He said the man told him he was struggling with a lot of problems.
"I was able to gain his trust and when we went to make the arrest, I could see the gentleman and he actually went and put the gun up for me," said Lt. Jimmy Brewer with the Pottawatamie County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies had to use a stun gun on the man just to make sure he wasn't armed.
Tribal Police said the man was intoxicated and that he will face multiple charges.
The name of the man has not been released.

DOVER — Army Sgt. Timothy Singletary had been to war in Iraq time and again. And when each tour ended, it seemed he cheated death as his comrades fell around him.
The New Jersey native was a "pick-up and delivery" guy, a tow truck driver. If Army vehicles were struck by bombs or broke down in the desert, Singletary and his men would retrieve the equipment, haul it in for repairs, then returned it to combat when the work was done, said his father, Edward Singletary.
His son first deployed in 2003, returning stateside nine months later. He deployed again in 2005 for a year. Then again in 2009 for another year. When he went again, for one final time, he nearly died.
A roadside bomb exploded near his vehicle in 2011. It killed the men he was with. Singletary suffered a shoulder wound, his father said. He returned to the U.S and given a Purple Heart, the father said. The younger Singletary was told he didn't need to go back.
He cheated death, it seemed. Until Sunday.Timothy Laurence Singletary, a 37-year-old father of three, was killed in Killeen, Texas, when his motorcycle collided with a white Dodge Charger on a road leading to Fort Hood, local police said. He was thrown from the bike and hit by another car. He was taken to the Carl R. Carnall Army Medical Center, where he later died.
The sergeant was stationed at Fort Hood and, since 2008, had been assigned to the 115th Brigade Support Battalion, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division. He loved his country, family said. Really, he loved everyone.
"He was a wonderful person. When he entered the room, everyone expected to laugh, have a good time," said his aunt, Irma Gorham, 60, the executive director of the Paterson Housing Authority. "He was a very generous person. He always had a heart for other people — strangers, family, friends."
Singletary grew up in Toms River and Palmyra, in South Jersey. He graduated from Palmyra High School and later attended Ocean County College, his father said. He joined the military after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
"He really wanted to get his life together and everything. He did a remarkable job of it. He was very well liked. He saved many lives," said the elder Singletary, who is 69 and lives in Maryland. "I think he served his country well."
Funeral arrangements are pending, family members said. His body is being sent to

The articles will examine two broad potential outcomes: what happens if the Court upholds the constitutionality of the legislation, and conversely, what happens if the Court overturns the legislation?
I am in the process of determining precisely which variables I will address and which contingencies I will include. There are a number of ways the Court could rule that are far more complex and ambiguous than a simple yea or nay vote on the totality of the legislation. These particular articles can't be (and aren't meant to be) comprehensive, but I would like to flesh out some potentialities and briefly examine what the Court's ruling might mean for various aspects of the American life.
I will post links shortly after the articles are published.

Citing the discovery of unhealthy levels of formaldehyde exposure in emergency housing used in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, the Sierra Club and other environmental organizations, groups supporting fair and safe housing, along with nearly 5000 individuals have petitioned the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to boost regulations on formaldehyde emissions from composite wood materials found in household products and building materials.
The petition calls on the EPA to use its authority under the Toxic Substances Control Act to regulate formaldehyde emissions from wood products. The agency has 90 days to respond to the petition; if does not agree to regulate these products, the Sierra Club plans to file a lawsuit against the agency.

'Game of Thrones' - 'Fire & Blood': Reviewing the season finale
"Game of Thrones" just wrapped up its terrific first season, and I have a review of the finale coming up (and, for anyone who DVR'ed "The Killing" finale but hasn't seen it yet, I briefly discuss my opinion of it in a non-spoiler-y fashion), just as soon as I favor my fingers...
"When dead men, and worse, come hunting for us in the night, do you think it matters who sits on the Iron Throne?" -Commander Mormont
That, boys and girls, is how you do the first season finale to a sweeping TV epic.
On the same night, back to back, "Game of Thrones" and "The Killing" presented finales that were more interested in serving as a prologue for a second season than in wrapping up certain first season story points. But where "The Killing" finale largely functioned as a thumb in the eye to its audience and disintegrated whatever interest I had in continuing with that show (for more on that, go read my review), the "Game of Thrones" finale only made me more interested in what's coming next.
It comes down to what I've talked about before, the difference between good cliffhangers and bad ones. The good kind are a promise of exciting new stories to come; the bad kind tend to treat the viewer as a sucker who will only come back if there's some immediate question to be answered or jeopardy to be revolved.
Again, I'll leave discussion of "The Killing" finale for that review, but "Fire & Blood" was definitely the good kind of cliffhanger. It turns out that most of the resolution to this season's stories came in the two previous episodes: whiny punk Joffrey remained the king, noble but foolish Ned Stark was beheaded, Robb successfully outmaneuevered the superior forces of Tywin Lannister, Drogo clung to death as Dany went into labor, etc. The finale clarified a few things - that Dany lost the baby and ultimately had to euthanize a living but vegetative Drogo - but for the most part was moving pieces into place for season two:
• Joffrey remains king, but also remains a mama's boy and will therefore wed Sansa, even though she understandably despises him for murdering her father;
• Arya will try to escape the capitol and the forces of the Lannisters disguised as a boy, in the company of a bunch of recruits to the Night's Watch (including one of the bastard children of the late king Robert);
• The bannermen of the north decide that, rather than keep fighting the Lannisters, they can simply break off from the south and form their own nation, with young Robb as their new king;
• Rich old Tywin, with his favorite son Jaime a prisoner of war and idiot grandson running amok, finally takes clever outcast son Tyrion seriously, assigning him to be the new Hand of the King;
and, in the thrilling back-to-back sequences that closed the finale:
• After being talked out of running away from his duty on the Night's Watch to avenge Ned's death, Jon Snow and the rest of his brothers prepare to march north of the Wall to confront the White Walkers and whatever other danger awaits;
• Dany burns Drogo's corpse (and murders the witch woman responsible for the baby being stillborn), walking into the flames herself because she knows that, as the true daughter of the dragons, she's impervious to heat and flame - and because she wants to hatch the three dragon's eggs she has to give her the literal firepower she'll need fight back against all those who have betrayed her in her short but eventful life.
If the Night's Watch sequence (with Commander Mormont's speech accompanied by the pounding, addictive "Thrones" score by Ramin Djawadi) and then the final image of a naked but unharmed Dany revealing the three baby dragons didn't get your adrenaline racing for a second season, then you should check with your internist, because that was one hell of a one-two punch.
That is a lot to deal with in a second season (and I'm sure the second book, "A Clash of Kings," offers up even more), and I'm thrilled by the possibilities of almost all of it, from Arya trying to survive and conceal her identity among that motley crew of prisoners and outcasts to Dany and her three new babies massively upending the plans of both the remaining Dothraki and the feuding, insular factions back in Westeros.
It helps, of course, that showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are working with all these strong, well-rounded characters that Martin created, and that they've assembled a cast so strong that Sean Bean's exit just seems like an opportunity for others to shine brighter.
In terms of shining, how about Emilia Clarke as Dany? Think about all the impediments there are to making that character interesting and/or consistent. She starts off as a scared, barely-vocal teenager. She spends many of her scenes appearing opposite characters who either don't speak English or don't speak, period. Her storyline literally takes place on another continent from the rest of the action, and only a couple of times had any direct connection to what's going on in Westeros. And over the course of one short TV season, sometimes with fairly brief appearances (or in one case, no appearance at all), she has to convincingly evolve from terrified girl to fierce, regal warrior queen - a woman who can stand up and lead without her giant superhero of a husband by her side. And Clarke has sold every bit of that transformation, and was incredible in every one of her scenes in the finale. Dany is one of a handful of roles that were recast after the original pilot was shot. I obviously can't speak to what Tamzin Merchant was or wasn't doing in the part, but they hit a home run with Clarke. Great performance, and someone perfectly situated to take on greater importance as the series goes on.
But everyone's terrific. Consider Sophie Turner as Sansa. That character has to take an abrupt, if understandable, turn from insufferable spoiled brat to a sympathetic girl trapped in a horrible circumstance as prisoner and betrothed to the abusive little fool who had her father executed, and Turner nails it. The scene where Joffrey forces Sansa to look at her father's head on a pike, then has one of his guards slap her around because his mother taughter him that a king should never strike his lady was so uncomfortable, and yet redeeming in the way that Sansa finally seems to be finding the strength to stand up to Joffrey, even if she has absolutely no power to do anything against him.
And, of course, there are the performances/characters who have been a pleasure all along. As Tyrion, Peter Dinklage has come close to stealing the entire series lock, stock and barrel a few times. There wasn't a ton of screen time for him this week, but his reaction to Tywin not only entrusting him with this huge responsibility, but to hearing his distant father say "You're my son," was so beautifully-played. And the prospect of Tyrion - a very smart man who's had precious little opportunity to use those smarts for anything but his own leisure - taking on this hugely important, powerful role in the capitol is just marvelous. (Though I fear that putting Tyrion, Varys and Littlefinger into a room together could cause such an overload of cleverness that King's Landing could implode.)
In the end, not only does "Fire & Blood" feel like a prologue to season 2, but the entire season feels like one long prologue to the major conflicts of the series proper. (And viewed in that light, Ned's death is a bit less shocking in hindsight. A bit.) This civil war between the Starks, Lannisters and Baratheons has been bloody, but it's got nothing on what's coming if the White Walkers breach the Wall and head south, or if Dany's able to use the dragons to rally a big army to cross the Narrow Sea with her.
But where Martin in the book, and now Benioff and Weiss on the show, have understood is that you keep people hooked to a long, continuing saga not just with shocking deaths and surprises, but with strong characterization and colorful storytelling along the way. "Game of Thrones" season 1 feels like even less of a complete story than, say, "The Wire" season 1. I don't mind, though, because it was damned entertaining along the way - with the finale as possibly the most entertaining so far - and we know that at least one more season is coming. And if the creative team can keep up this level of quality, it's hard to imagine HBO shutting things down anytime soon, even with a budget that only figures to get higher. Dragons aren't cheap, but they're also amazing, and I can't wait to see more of them, Dany, Tyrion and all the rest.
Some other thoughts:
• Heh. Tywin Lannister uses the same pronunciation of "whore" that Ralphie Ciffaretto did.
• After starting out as a world where magic hadn't really been seen in centuries, "Thrones" wholly embraced magic by season's end, with the witch, the zombies, the dragons and even young Bran and Rickon Stark having the same dream about their father.
• Bran's little history lesson to Osha the wildling woman also helped clarify a few pieces of backstory the show talked about all season but never went into complete detail on, like how Ned's sister came to die.
• Michelle Fairley and Richard Madden were both quite good in the scene where Catelyn and Robb wind up in the woods, each grieving in their own way for Ned. And I loved Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's portrayal of Jaime's fatalistic sense of humor in the scene where Cat comes to possibly murder him - particularly the long pause as he wonders what lie he can (or should) tell to explain why he threw Bran out the window.
• With Jaime captive, Tywin has to turn to Tyrion to do his bidding (and Tyrion doesn't listen to all his instructions, as he's going to take Shae with him to King's Landing), while Cersei has to turn to cousin Lancel as her new bedmate. Trying to imagine an alternate version of this series told as a reality show about the famous, completely messed-up Lannister family: "Living It Up with the Lannisters," maybe?
• Apparently showing a man getting his tongue pulled out in a tight close-up is a visual bridge this show isn't ready to cross yet, so that particular mutilation was kept in the background of the shot and well out of focus.
• I liked seeing Sam finally discover some courage in the way he tried to block Jon's path from leaving Castle Black, and later when he organized their other friends to chase him down and convince him to go back. The scene where the guys all recited the Night's Watch oath simultaneously was as weirdly stirring in its own way as Mormont's speech later.
• In a way, I'm more startled by the death of Drogo than I was by Ned's. In the end, both had to die to create additional conflict and force other characters to stand on their own, but I feel like we were only just starting to scratch the surface of that big guy in the last few episodes. Nice work, Jason Momoa, with a character arguably even harder to play than Dany.
• With all due respect to the many fine directors we've had on this series so far, can we have Alan Taylor back as much as possible in season 2? The story itself obviously dictated much of the emotional quality of these last two episodes, but Taylor still directed the hell out of the story he was given.
• What an odd but potentially fascinating pair of scenes with Maester Pycelle, who to this point has been a fairly minor character. He seems like a doddering old fool with Roz the whore, but as soon as she leaves, he limbers up easily, and in the next scene we see that his stooped posture and shuffling walk are all an affectation - Pycelle playing a role in the same way that Varys and Littlefinger do. It's a role that's kept him alive and close to many kings over the years, and I wonder if those scenes were a signal that we should prepare for a lot more Pycelle going forward.
For the last time this season, let me remind you that we are here to talk about this show AS A TV SHOW, and not just as an endless series of compare/contrasts with the books. If you want to bring up events from the books that have already been depicted on the show, that's fine to a degree, but anything - plot, backstory, motivation, what have you - that has yet to be revealed on the show itself is absolutely off-limits. Any comment containing anything I find even remotely questionable will be deleted. Period.
I recognize that this rule is maybe trickier than ever this week, since so much of the finale is setting things up for season 2, and therefore those of us who haven't read the books will be doing more speculating than usual, but you're smart people. You can figure out out how to comment without giving stuff away. And if you can't, please save your comments for elsewhere. Thanks.
What did everybody else think?

RANGOON — The alleged rape of a Buddhist woman by two Muslim men that triggered religious violence in the central Burmese city of Mandalay was fabricated, authorities said Sunday.
A Home Ministry announcement published in the Myanma Ahlin newspaper said a third Muslim man had sought to frame the two owners of a tea shop because he blamed them for his being charged earlier with the rape of one of his female employees.
The unrest earlier this month was tamped down after a few days, but demonstrated how volatile ethnic and religious tensions remain in predominantly Buddhist Myanmar, where several hundred people have been killed since 2012 in sectarian violence.
Rumors that the tea shop owners had raped one of their employees set off attacks on Muslims and mayhem over several days that left one Buddhist and one Muslim man dead, 14 other people injured and property damaged.
A nighttime curfew was imposed, and 49 people were charged with murder, grievous hurt, arson and disrupting public order, while a few hundred others received warnings for breaking curfew-related regulations.
The Home Ministry's report said the woman who filed the rape complaint with police and claimed to have been employed by the tea shop owners confessed that she was promised $1 million kyat ($1,000) and carefully coached to make her rape claim. It did not identify her religion, and said she never had worked at the tea shop.
It said the middlemen who organized the affair were also believed to have arranged another fake rape incident against a court official against whom they bore a grudge. The woman knew them because they had offered to help get her husband acquitted of a drug charge.
The past few years of sectarian tensions originated with another rape case in 2012 in the western state of Arakan. Although some details of the rape remain murky, it set of a wave of rioting that has left up to 280 people dead and 140,000 others homeless, most of them Muslims attacked by Buddhist extremists. Tensions remain high in the area.
""Although some details of the rape remain murky"", Very important point about Rakhine conflict. Unless the Judiciary free, independent and non bias, the community will suffer. While the Muslims's suffering are rather catastrophic and inhumane, the sufferings Rakhines may be of long term in economy, development and political perspectives. . The Rakhine State will never be the same again for the both communities and the breeze along beautiful Sittwe Point will blow tender and bitter for several years. However, fishermen in the turbid water ( overseas investers and corrup bussiness parters)may be happy, excited and jovial!!!
We all know that who are used to make these kind of fabricated stories in our country. It is good to be patriotic but need to be patient and wise to listen two sides and then use the brain whether it is acceptable or not before start by physical action. What a shame to let properties and live loss believing on fabrication. It is mandatory to respect the complain by immediate investigation as quick as you can without corruption to come up with the justice. People who did the fabrication should be brought to justice. Burmese government needs to be very careful not to let happen again by studying who have a tendency to make fabrication. By having and keeping such people in the country is very dangerous.
Peace and justice can establish in Arakan region provided both community must accept. There is will there is a way.

1. I ' ve built an EAR (using ANT tool) which comprises few EJB-
JARS and a WAR (web component packed with
JSPs,Servlets,images etc.,)
2. I was able to properly deploy the EAR in weblogic 7.0. The
depoyment status is TRUE for all the JARs & the
3. I ' ve made proper entries in the application.xml like
web-uri,context-root,ejb-module etc.,
4. In the server where I'm hosting my EAR, there already exists
a replica application setup (exactly similar to the one
which I packed in my EAR's WAR, but not in the PACKAGED
format) under "DefaultWebApp". In the Weblogic console, I
found the "DefaultWebApp" also be configured as a
WebApplication along with my EAR's WAR.
5. When I try navigating to the application, I could see my
EAR's WAR getting properly hit(through WL Admin Console) and
the first Login Page appeas properly but from then on, the
servlet is refered from the DefaultWebApp's WEB-
INF/classes/x/y/z/servlets directory where
"x.y.z.servlets" is the package structure. In my WAR also,
the servlets are placed in an identical package structure.
6. I removed the DefaultWebApp from the target server through
the Weblogic console and tried. Now I got the following error,
" Error 503--Service Unavailable
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.4 503 Service Unavailable
The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary
overloading or maintenance of the server. The
implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be
alleviated after some delay. If known, the length of the delay may be indicated
in a Retry-After header. If no Retry-After is given, the client SHOULD handle
the response as it would for a 500 response.
Note: The existence of the 503 status code does not imply that a
server must use it when becoming overloaded. Some servers may
wish to simply refuse the connection. "
7. One issue I found is, I 've named my WAR as TEST.WAR in the
application.xml i.e the WAR's extension was in CAPS. I
corrected that and again tried but got the same error.
8. One thing is evident, classes within my EAR's WAR is not
getting detected. I think, this is to do something with
My question is as follows,
Suppose the context-root for my EAR's WAR (defined in application.xml) is TRY,
the URI will be like this
and in the web.xml I 've given my servlet mapping like this
My point of concern is the
, is the form provided above is correct?
or should there be a mention of the context-root "TRY" like this
Kindly answer this query. I was stranded in this problem for a longer time

The Comptroller's Enforcement Program, is staffed with Enforcement Agents who are sworn police officers. The agents work individual investigations and also joint cases with inspectors. Enforcement Agents are charged with investigating violations of state revenue laws pertaining to tobacco, trader's and transient vendors license, sales and use tax, alcoholic beverage violations and IFTA and motor fuel violations.
Investigations conducted by the agents may result in a physical arrest or the violator receiving a criminal citation. FED Agents also work closely with other state law enforcement agencies and Federal law enforcement agencies such as, ATF, FBI, and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, to monitor and arrest individuals that live in the state and individuals that live outside the state who enter Maryland to commit revenue crimes.
The agents pay special attention to large organized groups that ship contraband or counterfeit cigarettes and alcohol into the State in violation of state laws. Agents fan out across the state visiting retail businesses to ensure they are properly licensed and in compliance with state record keeping laws. Enforcement agents are constantly on the lookout for Transient Vendors that set up business on the side of the road or in parking lots. Since many of these vendors work without proper licenses, they are checked when they are observed, to ensure they comply with all State and County laws and requirements.
Agents routinely meet with business owners that have failed to pay the state, sales and use taxes they have collected. They meet with these individual businesses in an effort to collect monies owed the state.
By enforcing state laws and regulations that pertain to license and taxes the Enforcement Program the Comptroller's Office works hard to ensure a level playing field for all citizens and retail businesses in the state of Maryland.
TIPLINE: If you have any information regarding illegal cigarette sales, or businesses operating without a business license or transient vendors selling merchandise on the roadside without a license email the Field Enforcement Division at firstname.lastname@example.com or call them at 410-260-7388.

Last weekend we began the second Intel Ideation Camp after the success of the first ideation camp. This was a decent event with an impressive combination of minds in the iHub UX lab space coming together not only to learn but also challenge each other.
This interactive and open atmosphere for learning and ideas is exactly what the Intel Ideation Camp is about. This week, participants got a good grip of the general ideal concept and ethos.
This week we learnt;-
- The difference between Innovation and entrepreneurship
- The mindset of an entrepreneur
- Principles of team creation and the best combination when developing an idea into a product.
Some highlights ;-
Innovation is successful implementation of new ideas. Notice the focus on DOING?
How do you get there? How does innovation happen and sustain momentum? These are some of the issues a lot of us consistently contend with and it was nice to have some clarity around them.
The pursuit of opportunity beyond resources you currently control.
This again focuses on a very specific go getter attitude. How do you ensure you have the right mindset? How do you manage the process of getting things done? How do you put together a team that works best for you?
Innovation does not happen in a vacuum. It is important that we have the right tools to handle the process of getting things done. Often we have the right kind of energy, put lack the skill to manage the curve we face as things get beyond the initial enthusiasm.
The approach to tackling these concepts was quite practical, especially the use of actual real life scenarios among us, which I liked a lot. There is a bit of follow up going on before the next session coming Saturday in which people will get deeper into the process.
For those who didn't get a chance to register or see the details of the process, please click here
For those who have already begun, see you next Saturday!

MARTINSBURG - At their regular monthly meeting Thursday, Martinsburg City Council members passed the first and second readings of two ordinances that would bring the city into compliance with new state code regulating firearms.
The first ordinance prohibits firearms in municipally owned recreation facilities unless the person has a lawful concealed-weapons permit.
"Municipally owned recreation facility means any municipal swimming pool, recreation center, sports facility, facility housing an after-school program or other similar facility where children

Art Thomm, vice president, W.Va. Citizen's Defense League, speaks to Martinsburg City Council members Thursday about proposed ordinances that would comply with new state code that regulates guns.
are regularly present," according to the proposed ordinance.
That language reflects Senate Bill 317, which was passed by the state Legislature during the recently completed legislative session.
The first and second readings of this ordinance passed unanimously.
The second ordinance prohibits firearms from municipally owned or operated property, including lawfully concealed weapons.
According to SB317, a municipally owned or operated property means "any building that is used for the business of the municipality, such as a courthouse, city hall, convention center, administrative building or other similar municipal building used for a municipal purpose permitted by state law."
The vote on this ordinance was 5-1.
Councilmen Donald Anderson, Gregg Wachtel, Dennis Etherington, Kevin Knowles and Max Parkinson voted yes.
Councilman Jason Baker voted no.
Councilman Roger Lewis was absent.
"It's OK to allow concealed weapons where kids are playing, but it's not OK to bring a gun into city hall where there usually are no kids," Baker said after the meeting. "We approved concealed weapons around kids, but not around city employees. We should allow concealed weapons on all publicly owned property, including city hall. It's not the city's property. It's the people's property."
Art Thomm, vice president of the West Virginia Citizen's Defense League Inc., a gun rights advocacy group, told City Council members Thursday that the WVCDL co-authored SB317 to create uniform firearms laws throughout the state.
"And to protect firearms owners from breaking the law," he said. "While I can't be appreciative of any ordinance that regulates guns, I do appreciate Martinsburg's stance to come into compliance with SB317."
Thomm also thanked the Martinsburg Police Department for its leadership in this matter.
A group of about eight WVCDL members quietly applauded when Thomm finished.
The council's attorney, Kin Sayre, announced that two more ordinances would be introduced at a special council meeting called for Tuesday.
One of the ordinances would not prohibit concealed weapons on municipally owned or operated property that is leased to a private entity and the municipality acts primarily as the landlord.
This would apply to the Market House and Caperton Train Station, which are owned by the city and the city leases space in those buildings to businesses.
The second ordinance would allow concealed weapons at special events held on city property.
"Both ordinances are taken directly from SB317," Sayre said.
An ordinance must be read three times and garner a majority vote from council members before being enacted.
The third and final readings of all the ordinances will be during the council's regular monthly meeting on May 8.

Experience is an education worth more than any degree. We read books. We make flash cards. We ace our tests. We're college kids. We go through our two, four, ten years of college and no one ever explains why we're actually there. Yes, of course it's to get a "job-worthy degree," but what if you didn't need one of those to make it? Would you actually be going to college?
I would.
I wouldn't go to learn things. I mean, I love learning things, but I can do that on my own. In my four years between high school and CCBC, I read hundreds of books. College gave me something much more valuable than facts; it gave me experience. There's something special about a collegiate environment. It's a microcosm, a bubble of thought, a pile of intellectual compost. If you finish your education and you have no experiences where you say "What was I thinking?!" you're doing it wrong. College is about diving headfirst into a bed full of green Jell-o, rolling around in it, and hugging the next person you see. Oh, haven't done that yet, have you? Get on it, college student. Take care of business.
The canvas analogy is often used, isn't it? We all start out as a plain, white canvas. Our experiences stain. They provide contrast, colors, and life. By the end of our years, long or short as they are, there's a painting of a life. There's a masterpiece of experience, the depth of which is known only by your closest friends. If you do it right, you'll die feeling fulfilled.
That's what college is. It's a chance to bring you more colors. It's a chance to bring you a depth of character that you don't have. Maybe you don't like Jell-o. Maybe you're a pudding kind of person. Maybe you find food fights offensive, and you'd prefer to sit in a coffee shop and discuss the mythology behind Hercules instead. Whatever experience leaves you with a feeling of awe, good or bad—that's what you want. You want to be awed. You want to be appalled, elated, and every other emotion that I lack the vocabulary to describe.
Don't get me wrong. Studying is great. Do that first! Once your grades are good, it's time to take the next step. It's time to paint your collegiate experience, which I can only hope will be rife with "oops" and "Woah!" and "What just happened?!"
Just remember, nobody respects the degree. They respect you.
