When Eowyn Ivey's mother named her after a character in The Lord of the Rings 39 years ago, few recognised the fact.
However, that all changed when Peter Jackson began rolling out his famous films in early 2000.
This name was invented by J.R.R. Tolkien, who used Old English to represent the Rohirric language.
In The Lord of the Rings books, Eowyn is the niece of King Theoden of Rohan.
She slays the Lord of the Nazgul in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. The meaning of the name Eowyn is "horse of joy".
Perhaps it's the "magic" of the name that helped Eowyn write her debut novel, The Snow Child.
Based on a fairy tale, the story is about a childless couple, Jack and Mabel, living in remote Alaska.
Jack is breaking his back trying to scratch a living out of the harsh environment, while Mabel is feeling isolated, neglected and depressed.
In a moment of togetherness, the couple build a snow child
In the morning it is gone but they get a glance of someone darting through the trees.
Without giving too much of the story away, the couple begin a relationship with this mysterious child.
They, and readers, are not sure whether she is real or a figment of their imagination.
This beautifully written book has powerful descriptive prose that will transport readers to a log cabin in the wilderness of Alaska during a bleak winter.
"I have always loved reading and writing," Eowyn says.
She worked for nearly a decade as a reporter at The Frontiersman newspaper in Alaska before leaving to work as a bookseller and novelist.
While she was writing The Snow Child she had a baby in the house.
"I couldn't have done it without my husband and mother," she says.
"My husband would put the baby to bed while I snuck into a little room to write. I had to make that time count.
"And my mum, who writes poetry, was just so supportive.
"We made a deal that she would write a new poem every week and I would write a chapter. Then we would read each other's work, say nice things, and propel ourselves forward toward our deadlines. It worked really well."
The Snow Child has been five to six years in the making and Eowyn says it was amazing to finally see it published. "And what's even more amazing is here I am in New Zealand talking to people who have read it and engaged with the characters."
Eowyn works in her hometown bookstore but took the summer off to travel and promote her book.
"I felt really uncomfortable behind the counter when a customer would come in and pick up my book.
"I felt really shy about it all."
After her month-long tour, which takes in Australia, New Zealand and London, Eowyn will return to Alaska where she plans to write another magical story.
We have a copy of The Snow Child to give away. Send your name and contact details, by October 31, to firstname.lastname@example.com

Reviews of this property
Welcome by the agency that checked us in when we arrived. The apartment is very nice for 4 people. The rooms are not very big, the kitchen is well equipped, the living room is nicely decorated. Linen provided. Everything was clean. No problem. The place is quiet and very well located: on one side of the small street LLatzaret there's Poblenou metro and merchants for racing and on the other side there is the Polenou Rambla, adorable with his little restaus which leads to the beach in 10 minutes. A highly recommended!
Bon accueil par l'agence qui nous a remis les clés à notre arrivée. L'appartement est très sympa pour 4 personnes. Les chambres ne sont pas très grandes, la cuisine est bien équipée, le séjour est joliment décoré. Linge fourni. Tout était propre. Aucun problème. L'endroit est calme et très bien situé: d'un côté de la petite rue LLatzaret il y a le métro Poblenou et les commerçants pour les courses, et de l'autre côté il y a la Rambla Polenou, adorable avec ses petits restaus, qui nous mène à la plage en 10 minutes de marche. A recommander vivement!
The apartment was ok. There is, however, in the description, there are two bedrooms. It was there in principle, however, is one room just for one person. It could well be described a little better.
The apartment is located in a quiet area and very close to a long street with many restaurants and bars.
Which is approximately 10 min. walk to the beach.
The apartment was prepared that we got three people, even though we had given that we were four. This meant that there was missing a towel and a pillow. We contacted the agency, but never showed extra linen up to us.
Lejligheden var ok. Der står dog i beskrivelsen, at der er to soveværelser. Det var der i princippetogså, dog er det ene værelse kun til én person. Det kunne godt være beskrevet lidt bedre.
Lejligheden ligger i et stille kvarter og meget tæt på en lang gade med mange restauranter og barer.
Der er ca. 10 min. gang til stranden.
Lejligheden var forberedt på, at vi kom tre personer, selvom vi havde opgivet at vi var fire. Det betød, at der manglede et håndklæde og en pude. Vi kontaktede bureauet, men der dukkede aldrig ekstra linned op til os.
leider ist im Badezimmer die komplette Decke mit schwazen Schimmel belegt und dementsprechend riecht es in der Wohnung. Wir können diese Wohnung nicht empfehlen.
Reviews for this host's other properties
After reading reviews (rather bad) I was afraid this apartment. But - surprise! Everything was OK, like on photos. No problem with hot water, I didn't see any cockroach ( I took a remedy for these insects), Beautiful, huge apartment with soul. Apartment was cleaned, three bathrooms were cleaned, towels and bedding were also cleaned. Yes, the furnishings in bathroom were a bit tired but it wasn't a problem. It was a bit loud in the rooms from the street. Good localization, close to the subway ( Urgell station - L1 red line). Professional contact with the host. Ideal place for group of few people - we were seven.
Two thumbs down.
We spent a full week in this apartment. We expected a basic, no frills apartment. and that's exactly what it is. Rooms, as usual, are smaller than they appear in the pictures. We were pleased to find it clean and containing the basics for our stay, and communication upon our arrival was very good. We discovered a significant plumbing issue upon arrival, but the management had a plumber on-site within minutes and the problem was fixed after several hours of work. The unit is located on the back of the building which insulates it from noise from the street. It was noisy on Friday and Saturday nights, however, which I'm sure is true of any place in a central location of Barcelona. And the location was excellent! We really liked that there was a open square, of sorts along the street in front of the building with several outdoor cafes. La Rambla is about a five minute walk along a charming street. The Universitat subway station is right around the corner in a Square and I highly recommend the cafe BuenasMigas (next to the Starbucks) for terrific morning pastries and coffee. I also must recommend the cafe Flax and Kale that is only several doors down from the apartment. Great food, is always busy, and on a nice day, check out they're 2nd floor terrace. But back to the apartment, because of it's location within the building, the elevator does not stop at it's floor, so there will be some stairs either way, but very few. One of the showers is VERY small but gets the job done. Also, the apartment does not get any natural light or have any views, but the little terrace in back is nice for coffee and seeing a piece of sky, as long as you don't mind seeing the neighbor's laundry out to dry, which we certainly didn't. If you are 4 or five people looking for basic accommodation in a very good location, you would do well to consider this apartment.
My teenage son and his friends stayed here for 5 days. They thought the flat was great, excellent location, close to the metro and about 40 min walk to the beach. Lovely bakery nearby. Clean and very comfortable. They paid the deposit in cash and got it back at checkout, no problems. Easy check in and check out.
Great apartment, really good location in Barcelona. Communication was great, everything went without any problems. Can recommend it!!

Should be a good matchup week 1. Cant wait.
Should be a good matchup week 1. Cant wait.
Stop Booing Tiki Barber.
Lions have had a lot of talent at speed positions on offense for a few years now. Their problem is elsewhere.
Stafford, despite putting up some crazy numbers, has made a lot of big mistakes at big moments.
The defense, particularly on the backend, has been really bad.
and lastly ,while they have good individual talent in the trenches they haven't been able to play to that talent level as a group. When they lose they get outmuscled and pushed around.
The Lions offense would be a great test for the re-stocked and improved Giants defense.

BATON ROUGE — For the first six innings Saturday, the LSU line on the Alex Box Stadium scoreboard malfunctioned with nothing but blanks.
That was a technical problem.
The Tigers' offense wasn't much flashier.
But when the scoreboard line flickered briefly to light in the seventh, so did LSU to push across four runs in the inning and went on to beat Maryland 5-1 and clinch the season-opening series.
"For a while I didn't know if we were ever going to score," LSU head coach Paul Mainieri said after the two teams again battled chilly weather and monster headwind at the plate.
"We won," said LSU first baseman Mazon Katz. "Not the greatest day at the plate. But we found a way to win manufacture some runs."
It wasn't exactly a barrage of fireworks to support another impressive LSU pitching performance, this time from Ryan Eades.
But after back-to-back one-out walks, pinch-hitter Alex Edward broke a scoreless tie with a poked RBI single to right and Ty Ross followed with a perfectly placed bunt single to score another run.
Christian Ibarra added a polite ground ball to right to score pinch-runner Jared Foster and Ross later scored on a passed ball to complete the big inning.
"What a great at-bat," Mainieri said of Edward, who fouled off a two-strike pitch before slapping the go-ahead single. "We sent the runners. That's the faith we had in him."
LSU's Sean McMullen added a pinch-hit single in his first career at-bat in the eighth to complete the scoring.
LSU pitching opened the season with 16 scoreless innings before Maryland finally got to reliever Chris Cotton in the eighth for a run.
Eades pitched into the seventh before leaving with one out after giving up six hits while striking out sixth with one walk.
Kevin Berry (1-0) got the final two outs in the top of the seventh and the win when the Tigers broke through in the bottom of the inning.
LSU (2-0) also played error-free for the second consecutive game, including a trio of spectacular catches by speedy freshman right fielder Mark Laird.
"One of those was a game-saver at the time," Mainieri said of Laird's catch as he hit the right-field fence for the final out of the fifth with two Maryland runners on.
The two teams will wrap up the season-opening series at noon today with Brent Bonvillain pitching for the Tigers.
He's got a hard act to top after Eades followed Aaron Nola's opening-night dominance with a similar outing.
"That's a tough combo for anybody to handle," Katz said.
"I thought he was really good," Mainieri said of Eades. "He was really throwing hard and with that velocity, when he keeps it down, he tough."

Aemilia Lanyer 1569-1645
(Born Aemilia Bassano) English poet.
Lanyer is recognized as a notable English poet whose work has garnered critical attention in recent years for her unique female perspective on the role of women in Jacobean society. Her only volume of poems, Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum (1611), has been praised as the first significant book of original poetry published by an Englishwoman. The volume contains eleven dedicatory pieces, a long poem on Christ's passion, and the first of the "country-house" genre of poems to be printed in English. In recent years, feminist interpretations of her work have explored Lanyer's depiction of women's friendships, gender roles, and sexuality. Moreover, scholars have commended her appropriation of male-authored biblical stories and rewriting them from a female perspective. Critics assert that her poetry offers valuable sociological and historical insight into Jacobean England.
Biographical Information
Lanyer was born at Bishopsgate in 1569, the illegitimate daughter of an Italian court musician. In 1576 her father died penniless, which forced her employment as a maid at a young age. While in the service of Susan Wingfield, countess of Kent, Lanyer received an education in religious theory, classical literature, and contemporary poetry—particularly that of Mary Sidney, countess of Pembroke, who proved to be an influential figure in her life. As a teenaged girl, she became romantically involved with Lord Henry Carey Hunsdon, first cousin to Queen Elizabeth. As his mistress, Lanyer was kept in comfort and became acquainted with several aristocratic and powerful ladies. When she became pregnant in 1592, Hunsdon abandoned her and she was married off to a court musician and soldier, Alphonso Lanyer. Lanyer tried to regain her previous status at court by advancing her husband's place in English society, and she hoped that he would be given a knighthood. Although he failed to receive this honor, in 1604 he was granted a hay-and-grain patent by King James I which provided them with a steady income. In the early 1600s Lanyer was inspired to write "The Description of Cooke-ham" after a visit with Margaret, the Countess of Cumberland, and her daughter, Lady Anne Clifford, at a country estate. Lanyer's religious verse was influenced by Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke, who with her brother translated the biblical Psalms. In an attempt to attract patronage for her work, Lanyer published her poetry collection Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum in 1611. Although it was read by a number of influential people, the work failed to elicit patronage, and Lanyer never published again. After the death of her husband in 1613, Lanyer focused her attention on keeping the rights to his patent for her family and heirs. In 1617 Lanyer opened a school in the London suburb of St. Giles in the Fields, but stopped teaching when the lease was lost in 1619. At this time Lanyer lived with her son and, after his marriage in 1623, with his wife and children as well. There is no evidence that Lanyer wrote again. She died in March or April 1645 and was buried at St. James, Clerkenwell.
Major Poetic Works
The poems collected in Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum praise the qualities of specific women whom Lanyer hoped would act as her patrons. Critics view the poems as an exploration of the major role women have played in promoting Christian values throughout history and a call for all women to turn to virtue and religious piety. Most commentary is devoted to two poems: "Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum" and "The Description of Cooke-ham." The title poem focuses on the Passion of Christ, relating the events from the Last Supper to the Crucifixion from a female point of view—that of Pontius Pilate's wife. This was one of the first poems of religious devotion published by a woman and the first to grant women a higher religious authority than men. In this work Lanyer praises the virtues of females and argues that women have the right to be free of the subjugation of men. She also reflects on the role of contemporary Christian women, asserting that they must remain strong, virtuous, and pious and fulfill their obligations to Christian principles. Lanyer also paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth I in "Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum" and dedicated the poem to the Countess of Cumberland, praising her virtues and comparing her with the Queen of Sheba. "The Description of Cooke-ham" is an early English example of a country-house poem. Written after her visit to the Countess of Cumberland's estate at Cookham, the poem memorializes the noble estate and the companionship she shared with the inhabitants. Describing Cooke-ham as an ideal Christian community of women, she contrasts it to the misogynist world outside of the borders of the country home. Although Ben Jonson's "To Penshurst" is often cited as the first country-house poem, "The Description of Cooke-ham," which was published five years before Jonson's poem, is recognized as being the first poem of this type to appear in print. The pastoral poem "The Authors Dreame to the Ladie Marie, the Countesse Dowager of Pembroke" pays tribute to Mary Sidney, whom Lanyer celebrates and praises as a major inspiration for her work.
Critical Reception
Upon its publication in 1611, Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum attracted little or no attention. Until recently, Lanyer has remained an obscure minor poet. In 1973 A. L. Rowse identified Lanyer as the "Dark Lady" in Shakespeare's sonnets—a theory that was quickly refuted by other Shakespearean scholars. The controversy brought attention to Lanyer's verse, and critics began to investigate her feminist interpretation of Christianity and explore the sociological value of her work. As an outsider—a woman of lower socioeconomic rank—her views on an aristocratic, patriarchal society that sought to marginalize women is considered an essential historical and sociological perspective. In particular, commentators regard Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum as a valuable cultural document that expands our understanding of women's religious roles. Lanyer's expression of ambivalence toward the power of the patronage system is considered a noteworthy commentary on the practice of patronage in the arts. The influence of the Jacobean court on Lanyer's life and work has been another topic of critical discussion. Recent studies have focused on homoerotic aspects of her poetry and have examined the attachments between women during the Jacobean period, perceiving these bonds as a way for women to transcend class differences to create a community of women. In addition to these issues, Lanyer has been praised for her vivid imagery and mastery of rhyme and meter, and "The Description of Cooke-ham" has attracted critical interest for the role it played in defining the conventions of the country-house poetic genre. In the past few decades, critical evaluations of her work have deemed Lanyer a major author and ready for inclusion in the canon of significant English writers.

In the history of Western religion, women have had a far more ambiguous relation to the sacred than men.

Religion defined the social, political, and intellectual life of medieval and Renaissance Europe. From the imperialist folly of the Crusades to individual sacrifices, from cathedrals and epics to vestments and sonnets, religion also infused and transported the period's artistic imagination.

As the first significant book of original poetry published by an Englishwoman, Aemilia Lanyer's 1611 volume of poems, Salve Deus Rex Judæorum, bears a considerable burden. The volume self-consciously assumes the task of delivering to posterity a new literary tradition, a newly public,...

[In the following essay, Holmes contends that in Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum "the commingling of religious piety, a defence of women, and a celebration of their mutual passion and devotion engagingly denaturalizes customary power relations and gender identities."]

A dictionary is more than a book of definitions; it is an index to a language, imposing an order on our inventory of words. Likewise a thesaurus is a table of contents, which takes the same stock of words but organizes them thematically rather than alphabetically. Both kinds of books reveal something about the underlying structure of the lexicon (the set of all words that make up a language). That structure is what mathematicians call a graph—a collection of "nodes" connected by "edges," usually drawn as a web of dots and lines.
When a language is viewed as a mathematical graph, the nodes are words (or sets of words), and the edges are relations between them. Any dictionary will help you to walk from node to node through the graph. For example, in defining the word elegant, the American Heritage Dictionary offers delicate as a synonym; on looking up delicate, you find dainty among the meanings listed; dainty in turn leads you to the entry for exquisite; and among the meanings of exquisite is elegant again. In this way you trace out one of many loops, or cycles, within the graph defined by this particular dictionary.
Exploring small regions of a lexical graph is a familiar process; you do it mentally whenever you grope for the right word. But trying to construct a graph for an entire language is another matter entirely. English has well over 100,000 words, and they are related to one another in dozens or perhaps hundreds of ways. Finding and recording all the connections is a task on the same scale as compiling a large dictionary. Furthermore, it has to be done with great precision and consistency, because the goal is to create a mathematical structure in which the relations between words are so explicit that the graph can be explored and manipulated algorithmically.
The construction of a lexical graph for English has been under way for almost 15 years in a project called WordNet, which now includes some 168,000 words and 345,000 relations among them. WordNet is the work of George A. Miller and his colleagues in the Cognitive Science Laboratory at Princeton University. (Other contributors are Christiane Fellbaum, Randee I. Tengi and the late Katherine J. Miller.) A book describing WordNet and its applications has recently been published, and the database that defines the lexical graph is available via the Internet and on a CD-ROM, along with software for browsing the graph.

Google Knowledge Graph: A Tipping Point
The semantic web / NLProc world is abuzz today with the news of Google's Knowledge Graph.
I'm thrilled and fascinated by Google's work in this arena. They're taking a true "web scale" approach towards knowledge extraction. My company (AlchemyAPI) has been working in this area intensely over the past year, examining large swaths of the web (billions of pages), performing language / structural analysis, and extracting reams of factual and ontological data. We're using gathered data for different purposes than Google (we're enhancing our semantic analysis service, AlchemyAPI — whereas Google is improving the search experience for their customers), but we are both using some analogous approaches to find and extract this sort of information.
What's interesting to me, however, is how this is really a sort of tipping point for Google. We're witnessing their evolution from "search engine" to "knowledge engine", something many have expected for years — but which carries a number of consequences (intended and unintended).
Google has always maintained a careful balance of risk/reward with content owners/creators. They provide websites with referral traffic (web page hits), while performing what some may argue is wholesale copyright infringement (copying entire web pages, images, even screenshots of web pages).
This has historically worked out quite well for Google. Website owners get referral traffic — thus can show ads, sell subscriptions, and get paid. Google copies their content (showing snippits/images/etc on Google.com properties) to make this virtuous cycle happen.
Stuff like the "Knowledge Graph" potentially torpedoes this equation. Instead of pointing users to the web page that contains the answer to their search, Google's semantic algorithms can directly display an answer, without the user ever leaving Google.com.
Say you're a writer for About.com — spending your time gathering factual information on your topic of choice (aka, "Greek Philosophers"). You carefully curate your About.com page, and make money on ads shown to users who read your content (many of whom are referred from Google.com).
If Google can directly extract the "essence" of these pages (the actual entities and facts contained within), and show this information to users — what incentive do these same individuals have to visit your About.com page? And where does this leave content creators?
The risk here isn't necessarily a legal one — there's quite a bit of established precedent which states that "facts" cannot be easily owned or copyrighted. But sites could start blocking Google's crawlers. Noone is likely to do this anytime soon as Google's semantic features are only just getting started and "referral traffic" is still the biggest game in town. But what does the future hold?
I'm guessing Google will work out these sort of bumps in the road on their path towards becoming a true Knowledge Engine. But it's an interesting point to think about.
PS: Google Squared could be argued as an earlier "tipping point", but was largely more of an experiment. The Google Knowledge Graph represents a true, web-scale commercial effort in this arena. A real tipping point.

That uniquely psychotic extent of unfathomable narcissism that is just taken for granted as American culture.
Subverting democratic elections in foreign countries in order to install brutal buddy dictators, and then using the presence of their evil regime as an excuse to invade their land, take control of it, and begin extracting their resources? That's not just arrogance -- that's Americonceit.

How K-1 Blew it and Let the UFC Become Huge on Spike TV
- Written by Dave Walsh
This video is both fascinating and frustrating, as Albie Hecht, the founder of Spike TV sits down to talk about how the deal between Spike TV and the UFC first came to be. As we all know, the UFC's deal with Spike TV happened and it opened up the market to MMA and helped to save the UFC from an untimely demise. The UFC and MMA in general might have never "boomed" if it weren't for the support of Spike TV.
What's the worst part as a Kickboxing fan? Knowing that it could have been K-1 instead, but that Ishii and K-1 in general back then kind of blew it by being as shady as we all knew that they were. This video is utterly fascinating in that Spike went FIRST to Japan to speak with K-1 before the UFC and that Ishii believing that Hecht insulted his geisha led to K-1 being more than just a Japanese brand and possibly the biggest combat sports brand in the world went up in smoke just like that.
As we've known, K-1 rarely thought about the American market in a serious way, as multiple K-1 USA heads (Scott Coker and Mike Kogan) have spoke about how shows in the US were geared towards Japanese audiences and television and more for saying that they ran shows in the US than to build up the brand and sport here in America. Even when both tried to build up K-1 in the USA, K-1 seemed disinterested in any money coming from the US. Just bonkers. We all do remember K-1 blowing it in China a few years ago, too, right? FIKA? Thanks to our old mothership for the discovery.

Hi All
I am looking at building a Tanzanian TBH which takes Lang deeps (legally required to use frames in my state)
I was just after some input from some experienced TBH keepers on the best design for my area.
In the summer, the average maximum is 29 °C (84 °F) but there is a few days temperature will hit 40 °C (104 °F) or above.
In winter the average maximum is 1516 °C (5961 °F) and minimum is usually around 8 °C (46 °F)
I am in a metro area, so I figure the bees would be able to collect, maybe 7-8 months of the year?
What design would be recommended for these conditions?
1) Type of entrances?
2) How big? How many frames?
3) Ventilation?
4) Mesh bottom or not? Covered bottom?
5) Hive dimensions?
6) How to over winter? Would I need too?
Any other ideas or input welcome!

kaffe fassett, valori wells, amy butler, and traditional patterns. and i like to design my own things as well.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
kaffe fassett, valori wells, amy butler, and traditional patterns. and i like to design my own things as well.
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
I love Toni Whitney and McKenna Ryan (I enlarge her patterns for easier use).
I also like The Country Quilter, Pine Meadows, Brandywine, Bee Creative and so many more.
I also use wood carving and stained glass patterns by L Irish and Paned Expressions and am now using a lot of photos for patterns. So little time.....
Machine It
Dereck Lockwood's Bargellos! And if you need to make the pattern larger or smaller, he'll personally help you resize it! Very nice person.
I love Amy Butler and Kate Spain for their beautiful modern fabrics and cute patterns. Also Heather Bailey and Sandy Henderson.

"The reward of a thing well done is having done it." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wonderful thread. I will look up each and every one of these designers. I actually got motivated to start quilting after looking at some of Jane Sassaman's fabric and quilts. I love a wide variety of fabrics and colors but especially like bright bold colors and designs. I also like Alexander Henry, Tina Givens and Valori Wells.
Nancy Halvorsen comes to mind... love her soft, dreamy colors and quaint designs.
Bonnie K. Hunter at Quiltville.com. Love her patterns and clear instructions.
Barbara Brachman has done an incredible job with Civil War era quilts (with some history thrown in, even).
Carol Doak's paper piecing patterns... wonderful! Great instructions and patterns.
Georgia Bonesteel... what can I say?
Eleanor Burns - who could get along without Quilt in a Day? (not that I ever quilted one in a day, mind you, but I keep hoping!)
Debbie Beaves.
I tend to lean toward traditional prints and patterns... avoid cartoons and other proprietary prints and other such cutesiness like the plague. If I put that much work into something, I want it to be a classic, not outdated next year. Also not terribly fond of graphics, at least the bolder ones... not a Riley Blake fan. Ditto for Kaffe Fassett.
And a huge thank you to all those like Janet Wickell on About.com, who bring us pattern libraries. What a tremendous gift! (And she's by no means the only one - just the one whose name popped into my mind at the moment.)
Here I have to mention Jenny Doan at Missouri Star... her video tutorials are the "bestest".

[QUOTE=jcrow;5830253]I can tell you one I don't like and why. Kaffe Fassett. All his fabrics look like bedspreads that are in the cheap motels ----
You are SO right. I just cannot warm up to his designs.

Auckland's water storage levels are dropping steadily as the year's dry spell continues, with sunny weather forecast to last through the week.
Dams in the Hunua Ranges have had 7 per cent of the average monthly rainfall for January. In the Waitakere Ranges, the Upper Nihotupu Dam is now less than half full. The dams supply 80 per cent of Auckland's water.
However, Watercare said last night that dam levels were about average and it was not looking at water restrictions. Water is also being drawn from the Waikato river.
MetService predicts dry days to continue this week. This is good news for people enjoying Auckland Anniversary Weekend and the last few days of the school holidays, but the dryness has brought a fire ban in Auckland, a warning of water restrictions in Northland, and scrub fires around the country.
The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research has said soil moisture levels are "incredibly dry" for this time of the year, although the Ministry for Primary Industries has yet to declare a drought.
Northern fire communications shift manager Jaron Phillips said people had lit many fires across Auckland during the weekend despite a complete fire ban declared by Auckland Council.
All open-air fires, including rubbish fires, bonfires, backyard braziers, fireworks and cooking fires, are banned.
There were 17 as a result of backyard rubbish burns; one from a cooking fire; one from a brazier fire; two from bonfires lit on the foreshore; and five started by fireworks.
In Wiri, a hangi set a fence on fire. Elsewhere, a brazier was knocked over and ignited vegetation.
"It's apparent that lots of people aren't aware of the fire ban so they are continuing having backyard fires, setting off fireworks, having hangi and umu and using braziers," Mr Phillips said.
Gas barbecues could be used, but not those that used solid fuel such as charcoal or those with an open flame.
Council spokeswoman Sharne Parsons said it was likely many of the people breaching the ban were not aware of it.
Meanwhile, principal rural fire officer Bryan Cartelle said a blaze that destroyed more than 100ha of bush on Great Barrier Island had been contained.
Firefighters were continuing to dampen hotspots.
Aucklanders used 2.84 billion litres of water in the past week, down from 2.95 billion litres the week before.

I, finially, got to inspect my hives today!!I have six and they were all breaming with bees, had plenty of food and even had a little brood. I didn't go in to deep because the temp was 50* but the wind was a little gusty.
I used " Healthy B" in the sugar water. Has anyone else used this and how often do you use it in your hives!


text: Wow, it's been a long time since I heard about a Megastar. How long have you owned it ? Have you had trouble with that load before, or did it start acting up with the 250 gr ? I've never heard of anyone using that heavy a bullet in a semi-auto pistol. Could be too heavy or too long. What is the overall length of the round ? You may also need to replace the extractor spring. I'm not that knowledgeable on the Megastar, but that's what I'm thinking. Can you post some photos ? Would love to see a fairly rare pistol.

Nice place to visit the city with all you need. Recommended.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
A perfect little studio, placed in a quite street, but very central in Paris. I can strongly recommend it to all who needs a place to sleep, while visiting this beautiful city.
Rahma is nice and available for every need! (She lives in the same building which is even better). The studio is nice and 3 minutes of walk from the Champs Elysées, perfect. Clean and cozy. Well connected with the Metro. Safe zone.
Firstly a big thank's to Rahma, that she is there for anything you need. The studio is perfect for two people that they don't need to live the house but the city! Is perfectly in the city center. If you want to move by metro, you have 3 station near the house that connect you everywhere.
In the studio you will find all stuff you need from towels to food.

Is Taiwan's media independence under threat?
As business relations develop between China and Taiwan, concerns are growing that Taiwan's media freedom may be compromised. The culprits include some journalists themselves, promoting China to preserve their own business interests, and Taiwan's Kuomintang (KMT) government, apparently attempting to exert control over the media through legislation.

I have 4 hives. All 4 of them have a robbing issue.
Will reducing entrances to less than 1" be sufficient to stop robbing on strong hives? This sucks because there aren't that money warm days left and I've only saw one of my four hives bringing pollen in, it seems they are too busy trying to defend to worry about foraging.
My neighbor's hives, which are about 100' away from mine were robbed out so badly that only 1 of his 3 has survived so far this year. I'm wondering if his final hive has been robbed out so badly that it is now going after mine. Or if there are feral hives around that robbed his and are now going after mine.

The Hawks, who never trailed in the contest, had eight different player score in the match. Monmouth was led by freshman Kendall Lutts (Ellicott City, Md./Glenelg), who scored a career-high four goals, including the eventual game-winner with 2:34 to play. Monmouth goaltenders Caroline Huelster (Lenape, N.J./Lenape) and Katie Donohoe (Peterborough, Ontario/Holy Cross Secondary) combined for seven saves while nearly splitting time in the contest. MU opened up an 11-8 lead late in the contest but the Red Foxes would not go away quietly, scoring back to back goals to climb to within one. Lutts' final goal gave the Hawks a two goal cushion, which they would need as Marist's Erin Schroeder scored her squad's 11th goal with 1:38 to play. Marist had a pair of chances at the tie in the closing seconds but Monmouth held on for the win.
"I'm very proud of the team," said MU Head Coach Denise Wescott. "We did a lot of things offensively when we needed to and towards the end of the game we slowed them down from scoring. It was a team effort, we needed to work very hard to win this game. We didn't back down and we kept fighting to get up by two, which we did. When we needed to make some saves and keep them away from the crease, we did that too. I'm pleased with the lack of turnovers we had today, I know that helped us. I'm just excited about being able to play next week."
The two teams will face each other next Friday in the first round of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament.
Lutts scored two goals in the first three minutes of the game before Marist was able to get on the board, cutting the Monmouth lead to one. Michelle Gonzales (Marlton, N.J./Cherokee) put Monmouth back up by a pair. The Hawks took a 6-2 lead with half of the period expired after MU answered a Red Fox goal with three straight, including Lutts' third of the half and two from the stick of senior Danielle Rakowitz (Montville, N.J./Montville). Junior Allison Stathius (Delran, N.J./Delran) put Monmouth up 7-3 but the Red Foxes rattled off three straight goals before the half and the Blue & White led 7-6.
Senior Kaleigh Gibbons' (Candia, N.H./Central) goal at the 22:31 mark gave the Hawks a 8-6 lead but Marist's Jamie Romano answered less than a minute later. The two teams traded goals over the next three minutes before back to back goals from Monmouth freshmen Olivia Higson (Cheadle Hulme, England/Withington) and Claudia LaMarca (West Long Branch, N.J./Shore Regional) gave Monmouth a 11-8 lead with 12:44 remaining in regulation. Marist tallied back to back goals at the 11:05 and the 7:36 mark to climb to within one but Lutts' unassisted goal with 2:34 would give Monmouth a 12-10 lead. Schroeder cut the Hawk lead to one and a shot in the final seconds sailed wide of the cage putting an end to a comeback attempt by Marist.
Lutts led all scorers with her four goals, adding two ground balls and two caused turnovers to her game totals. Gonzales had three points on a goal and an assist while Higson finished with a goal and an assist. Rakowitz had two goals while four other players had a goal for the Hawks.
Romano and Allison Gionta each had three goals for Marist while Schroeder finished with two. Red Fox goaltender Abigail Witczak had four saves in the contest.
Marist held a 25-17 advantage in shots and dominated draw controls 19-6. Monmouth committed 14 turnovers while Marist had 17 on the afternoon.
Monmouth, the four-seed in next week's MAAC Tournament, will face top seeded Marist at 5 p.m. at the Demske Sports Complex on the campus of Canisius College.

Was just browsing the 49ers forums a bit today to see what excuses they'd be making this time (other than Jacobsgate). Found this gem of a thread. I'm going to post the entire thing, since you guys will know exactly what is humoring me.
Source: http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/ni...all-calm-down/To fellow 49er faithful feeling like the world is going to end after that terrible loss against the Giants:
We need to CALM down. Everything is going to be ALRIGHT. We still are a top 5 team. Here is why:
1. Giants are the most fluky team in the NFL. When they play bad teams, they look like trash. Their offense looked inept against the eagles, and to be honest they were not that impressive against the browns barring the score. They thrive under the pressure and being the underdog, and this was shown against us this weekend. No one thought they would win, and when they are clicking they look amazing. They fired away on all cylinders on Sunday, including Defense, Offense, and Special Teams. If we were to play the Giants 10 times, I can assure you we would win at least 7/10.
2. Alex was due for a bad game. He has not had a multi-interception game since 2010!!!! That statistic alone is unreal, and it could not last forever. Sure, Alex looked like the Alex from his early years but he was due for one of these games! Even throughout the turmoil of the game, he came out and made some nice throws. Every elite QB has awful games, look at Matt Ryan this week. He threw 3 picks against the RAIDERS! The only difference was is that the Falcons were making plays on the defensive side of the ball and playing well on special teams. Alex had absolutely no help from the entire team, including the coaching staff.
3. The special teams looked terrible. I do not know what is wrong with David Akers, but I am confident he will figure it out. If he hits those two field goals, we go into the half down 10-9. The 2nd half would have been completely different if this was the case. Our coaches could slow the game down, and eat up the clock with our power running game. This poor performance from our special teams has been a theme this season and I am sure that Seely will figure it out in the next few weeks. We are still trying to tie everything together without Costanzo or Jones.
4. Our Defense was mediocre. The reason I say they were mediocre is because of how well the Giants receivers were playing. DId you all notice how their receivers were not dropping anything I swear, some fo the catches they were making were unreal, and would not happen 9/10 times. No matter how good the coverage was or the play was, the receivers seemed to make a play on the ball. This is part of the Giants being a FLUKY team and will not happen most of the time against us. Sure, the D-line was not getting pressure on Manning, but it is pretty hard to when he is getting rid of the ball in less than 2 seconds. This is the same thing is the Vikings game, Rudolph makes a couple amazing catches to take the game for them. TEAMS ARE GETTING LUCKY AGAINST US, and this will not continue to happen down the stretch.
5. Coaching was ...ehhh. The part I didn't like from our coaches had to have been how we strayed away from the inconvenient truth. Gore needs the ball more, I do not care how we get it to him, just get him the ball. No carries after the half??? That is absurd. A lot of people on the board are mad at how much we used Kap this week. Before the Giants game, all I heard was how SMART and UNIQUE our offense was with the addition of Kap in it. Everyone CHILL OUT! Kap is fine, the way we use him is fine, we do not need to add more Kap or less Kap to win. What we are doing now is PERFECT. We are a running team, give Gore the ball with a little dose of the read option with Kap. Then let Alex hit them on some "Shot" Plays to score. This is how we won last year, this is how we will win this year.
We are a GREAT team, we a harder schedule this year. We got a little to excited for some revenge and it backfired. I expect Harbaugh and Co. to really be ready this Thursday and deliver an ***-whoopin on the seachickens. This last weak was a FLUKE and do not expect it to happen again. I think that is why Harbaugh is brushing this loss off, because he knows that we are much better than the score shows.
49ers 35- Seahawks 7
You heard it hear first boys.

Each of my hives has a hard white plastic tray under the screened bottom board. I've noticed that some of the stuff that collects on these trays leaves stains that I'm unable to wash off. I prefer to keep these boards as stainfree as possible so I can inspect whatever collects against the white background.
I've been thinking about coating these trays with a fairly thick coating of dishwashing liquid and leaving that on the trays as my sticky substance. My thinking here is that the dishwashing liquid would be sticky enough to trap any mites that may fall on the tray and the tray would be extremely simple to wash before reinstalling it. I use the same trick whenever I work on one of my vehicles; soap up my hands and let the soap dry---cleanup is a breeze! The only thing I'm worried about is that most dish liquids are scented. Does anybody think that this may be a problem? How about lemon scented, will that overpower natural pheromones in the hive?
Yes, it is a slow day around here. Why do you ask?

New Collaborators – NJCU & JCFPL – Present Art Exhibit at Five Corners Branch Library

Posters & Logos from Contest Entries
Celebrating the 125th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty
Ushering in a brand new cultural collaboration between the Jersey City Free Public Library and New Jersey City University (NJCU), a special art exhibit had hung in the picture windows surrounding the Five Corners Branch.
The Five Corners Branch Library, in conjunction with NJCU art students, presented an art exhibit of Posters and Logos from contest entries for the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty, which was held in 2011 and sponsored by the National Park Service (NPS). Both competitions were open to NJCU students and alumni, having the anniversary theme: "Honor History – Envision the Future."
The Opening Reception of the NJCU Art Students Posters & Logos Exhibit Celebrating the 125th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty was held on Monday, May 6, in the lobby, outside the Mildred H. Hunke Auditorium of the Five Corners Branch Library, 678 Newark Avenue, Jersey City. The art exhibit ran from Monday, May 6 to Wednesday, July 31, encompassing two national holidays – Memorial Day and Independence Day, with special celebratory significance since the Statue of Liberty opens again to the public on the Fourth of July. Lady Liberty was closed for repairs due to damage from Hurricane Sandy.
Two students, Joseph Domalewski and Felipé Barros, both NJCU art major seniors at the time, won – Joseph, for his logo, and Felipé, for his poster design.
The 125th anniversary celebration launch occurred on the Statue of Liberty's actual 125th birthday – October 28, 2011 – and lasted for one year. The logo and poster designs appeared on all commemorative and promotional materials produced, including pins and patches, banners, posters, printed publicity materials, and the National Park Service's web and social media sites for the commemorative year.
The logo by Joseph Domalewski was selected by the public through an online competition by the NPS. The poster by Felipé Barros was selected by a juried competition, and was reproduced, exhibited and sold during the Statue of Liberty's 125th anniversary year. The poster was also reproduced on tote bags, t-shirts and mugs. All of the juried poster submissions were displayed in the Ellis Island Immigration Museum during the month of October 2011, with traveling exhibits after.
"We are excited working with the University on this initial project," said Library Director Priscilla Gardner. "There are many ways we are planning to collaborate, including guest lecturers and student volunteers for the Miller Branch Teen Center and Literacy, respectively, so I know this is developing into a fruitful union."
"I just knew we both had so much to offer each other," said Dean Barbara Feldman, Ph.D. of the William J. Maxwell College of Arts & Sciences at New Jersey City University. "University faculty and students are ready to participate in cultural exchanges of art, music and other performing arts, with the Jersey City library as a perfect venue. We are just as excited!"
The over 120-year-old Jersey City Free Public Library serves New Jersey's second largest city, consisting of a Main Library, nine branches, and a wheelchair-accessible mobile branch, the Bookmobile, that was custom-designed and -built, and on the road since May 2008. The Jersey City library system provides access to a diversified collection of 400,000+ pieces of printed, audiovisual, and electronic resources that addresses the needs of the truly multicultural clientele of 247,597 residents (U.S. Census 2010). The Library offers patrons automated catalog and circulation services, for searching at home or from library Public Access computers. The Main Library is the repository of two special collections: New Jersey Room, a collection of about 20,000 volumes with an emphasis on Jersey City, and the Biblioteca Criolla, a collection of 18,000 volumes (11,000 adults / 7,000 children) in Spanish from different Latino cultures. Both departments hold special programs in deference to their respective collections. On August 17, 2004, the Library held the grand opening of its first new branch in 42 years, serving the M.L. King redevelopment area, the Glenn D. Cunningham Branch Library & Community Center, named after the late Jersey City Mayor and State Senator.
LADY LIBERTY ENLIGHTENS THE WORLD – In celebration of the logos and posters created by art students from New Jersey City University that hang from the picture windows of the Five Corners Branch Library from May 6 to July 31, 2013, Five Corners presented an Opening Reception on May 6 that included home-baked cookies (chocolate chip and lemon sugar, in the shape of the Statue of Liberty, baked by Public Information Officer Michele Dupey).
AN EXPLANATION – New Jersey City University is especially proud of their art students, for their talent is expressed in their works and in two students having won – Joseph Domalewski and Felipé Barros, both NJCU art major seniors in 2011 – Joseph, for his logo, and Felipé, for his poster design.
OPENING RECEPTION – The public gathered alongside representatives from New Jersey City University (NJCU) and the Jersey City library, including Ella Rue, assistant to Dr. Barbara Feldman, dean of the William J. Maxwell College of Arts & Sciences, who is pictured with one of the artists, Roanne Bacchus. In the next photo, community activist and art-lover Charlene Burke talked with Dr. Allan DeFina, dean of Education at NJCU. Followed by, Five Corners staff member Eddie Perez and Patricia Vega, manager of Biblioteca Criolla, a department devoted to books in Spanish and Latino culture on the 4th floor of the Main Library.
THE ARTISTS SHINE – Pictured: Roanne Bacchus & Ben Roman, two of the dozen artists who submitted in the 125th anniversary competition. Anniversary celebrations were launched on the Statue of Liberty's actual 125th birthday – October 28, 2011 – and lasted for one year. Unfortunately, the two winners, Joseph Domalewski (logo) and Felipé Barros (poster design), both NJCU art major seniors in 2011, couldn't attend the Opening Reception on May 6, 2013, due to current jobs in their chosen field.
THE LADY SHINES – Now, are we talking of Library Board President Sondra E. Buesing Riley (right)…or her mother (left)…or, the Statue of Liberty cookie in the Lady's fingers?!

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
UNCW men's basketball icon Brett Blizzard has agreed to play for the North Carolina entry in the Basketball Alumni Legends League (The-Ball) showcase event in two weeks.
Blizzard, UNCW's all-time leading scorer, played professionally in Italy after leading the Seahawks to NCAA appearances in 2000, 2002 and 2003. He will compete with other North Carolina collegiate standouts against the Washington, D.C., team, the D.C. Dobermans, on Aug. 1 at George Washington's Charles E. Smith Center.
The Dobermans are scheduled to battle teams from Maryland (July 27), North Carolina (Aug. 1), Virginia (Aug. 3) and Philadelphia (Aug. 6). The four-game series sets the tone for The-Ball's official launch in the summer of 2014 that will feature six teams and a 20-game season.
"It will be great to play against quality competition," said Blizzard, who owns and operates Blizzard Athletics, a player development facility in Wilmington. "A lot of fans don't have an opportunity to see their favorite players after leaving college. They'll be able to see how they've developed in their careers."
The North Carolina team will be coached by former Tar Heel great Phil Ford and includes players such as Justin Gray (Wake Forest), Scott May (UNC Chapel Hill) and Rayshawn Terry (UNC Chapel Hill).
The showcase games will feature several unique rules designed to speed up play, including "on the fly" player substitutions and "all or nothing" free throws. A four-point shot from 25-feet is also planned.
All four of the contests in the showcase will be televised live by Comcast SportsNet and streamed on ESPN3.com.
The North Carolina team will play their home games in Raleigh and the roster will include former players from UNC-Chapel Hill, N.C. State, Wake Forest, Duke, ECU, UNC-Asheville and UNC-Wilmington.

Really it all comes down to the way Justin feels. I would get a little jealous if I was in his shoes but then I would talk to them and let it go. Sometimes the paparazzi takes misleading pictures. So no one will ever know for sure unless something is going on….and I HIGHLY doubt that.

Exactly!! The paparazzi just might see the truth but they'll rarely tell the truth. Not to mention you know that crap like this is why celebrities run from them in the first place. They can be doing something so innocent like talking to a FRIEND and the paparazzi wants to say oh Justin isn't around so she's cheating! Just like little high schoolers. Really people grow up… we're all adults here and if she wants to talk to and spend time with a friend then let her. It isn't like she's in a bedroom with the dude. They are out in the open walking, talking, having a good time!

It's an important decision that deserves thought and advance planning. There's a lot to consider, such as finding a new primary healthcare provider for your child.
Here are some expert tips that can help make the transition a healthy, positive experience.
What's the best age to make the change?
Albert Tzeel, M.D., a pediatric specialist and national medical director for HumanaOne, explains, "First, it's important to know that there is no set answer. Much depends on the individual and the comfort level of the young adult with seeing a pediatrician.
"For many people, age 18 is a pivotal time. Kids are generally graduating from high school. They're moving on to college or a job. It can be a natural time to make the transition. But age 18 is definitely not a hard and fast rule."
"The American Academy of Pediatrics is comfortable with a pediatrician seeing patients through age 24," Tzeel said. "Many pediatricians cover the college years. They see kids when they come home from school, and for a few years after.
"Kids are not little adults, especially through adolescence and puberty," Tzeel said. "There are a lot of physiological, endocrine and social changes going on. Most kids are still growing. I would say that kids under 16 are too young to move from their pediatrician's care."
Another thing to consider is if the child has a condition within the pediatric realm. If so, they may stay under the care of a pediatrician for a longer time. Or they may see a pediatric specialist well into adulthood. Dr. Tzeel offered this example.
"Say a child was born with a heart condition that required surgery. Even after the heart is repaired, it is still a little different. It is something a pediatric specialist sees more often and may better understand. Where I trained, they had a pediatric cardiology clinic. They regularly had a special day when they saw adults up to age 35."
Teenagers need privacy
Even while kids are still seeing a pediatrician, care should start to change around age 13. The Chicago Tribune recently reported about aging out of a pediatrician's care, and said teens should have some private time with the pediatrician. The parent can be called in for a discussion after the exam.
Young patients may have questions about sexuality or substance abuse. Those are subjects they may not want to discuss in front of a parent.
"I usually ask the mom or dad to step out and give the child privacy," Tzeel said. "Otherwise, the doctor may not get the full story from the teen."
Plan ahead for the transition
In a recent National Institute of Health News in Health article, Dr. Francine Kaufman, a pediatrician associated with the University of Southern California, advises parents to prepare for the transition.
"Pediatric and adult healthcare are very different," Kaufman said. "In pediatric care, there's really an interaction and a focus on the parents as well as the child."
In adult care, it's likely that the parents are excluded and won't hear information important to the child's health. Your child will have to learn to remember important information as well as learn to make appointments, keep records and manage other details.
"You have to prepare them for this transition," said Kaufman. Patients 18 and older are adults. In order for a doctor to share information with a parent, the child has to give written consent.
Kaufman says to talk about the transition and its timing with your pediatrician in advance.
"Children need a couple of years' practice before they can fully participate in their care," Kaufman said. "They can start by being more vocal during their appointments. Have the child come in with a list of questions and concerns."
Finding a new primary care doctor
The next step is finding a new doctor. Kaufman advises choosing a primary care doctor in advance, don't wait until there's a problem.
It is vital that your child feels comfortable and trust their new primary care physician. Here are a few things to consider:
Planning ahead and making this process a smooth transition is very important. It can help your child build a good relationship with a primary care physician. And that can have a positive effect on your child's health for many years to come.

Free Tools
Unfortunately, you probably know something about the viruses that can attack your computer, but what about the viruses aimed at your mobile devices? You may be surprised to learn that malicious software aimed at mobile devices, otherwise known as mobile malware, is on the rise, yet two thirds1 of smartphone owners don't even realize their device can be infected.
The growing popularity of smartphones and tablets have attracted the attention of cybercriminals who see them as a great opportunity to get their hands on your information and money, or just do harm. With this in mind, they are now developing a number of threats designed to work on mobile platforms. In fact, McAfee has now recorded over 1,200 mobile malware variants.
Malware aimed at Android smartphones alone has grown 76%2over the last few months, threatening Android security, and other platforms are also coming under attack.
Many of the threats, such as clicking on a dangerous link in an email or in search results, are the same as you would encounter on your computer, but there are other threats that are unique to mobile devices.
For instance, you could accidentally download a malicious application that accesses your personal information and sends it to a cybercriminal. Or, you could download a dangerous app that dials premium-rate numbers from your phone, leaving you with expensive charges on your mobile bill. Other malicious programs can potentially alter your phone's functionality, rendering it useless.
You may also receive text messages or voicemails from seemingly legitimate companies, asking for personal information.
If you encounter any of these mobile security threats, the risks are clear: you could lose your money, your identity, and your private information, and, if your device ceases to function, you could also lose all the data saved on it, including personal photos, contacts and emails. That's why it's important to take steps to protect yourself from mobile malware. Here are a few tips to ensure that your information and your device stay safe:
