|Reviews for A Giant's Thoughts
| Katie Travanion chapter 1 . 4/8/2010
Aw. Loved the poem. It was very sweet. I love Hagrid. He helped Harry out a lot. through all he wen through Hagrid was always there for him. Well wrote
| FriendofMolly chapter 1 . 5/10/2009
That was as beautiful as could be. The saddest part was to know while reading it, that that sweet little boy was in for 10 years of Muggle Purgatory. Not to mention 7 years of Wizarding Hell. The one of best parts of Harry's life is that Hagrid was always there for him.
| An-Jelly-Ca chapter 1 . 8/11/2007
Forgot about of duty you bear
For you are safe while I am here
No matter what you are told
You deserve to sit and play
It's my job to protect you
And keep the world away
Don't think about the future
Just dream of having fun
I loved it. But it made me cry. So sad. Because then I started thinking about DH and poor Harry who Dumbledore knew was doomed to die the entire time. Anyways nice poem.
| graceandpipp chapter 1 . 4/10/2007
I thought this was a good poem I found it touching.
| hoom chapter 1 . 8/4/2006
Ok, that is realy good for your first poetry fanfict! Keep up the good work.
| Ifab1ndiya chapter 1 . 3/27/2006
That was very nice. Hagrid was in-character. Great poetry.
| lalalalalala chapter 1 . 2/24/2006
that's good, even for a beginner, just ignore ppl who laugh, the writer for pink floyd was laughed at and put down all the time and look at how big he is now. . . just ignore them
| yokiyen chapter 1 . 2/24/2006
I like it, but can't hear it in Hagrid voice. That the hardest thing for myself, trying to get the character voice to sound right. If that make any sense,hope you will do more.
| Rocks-my-socks chapter 1 . 2/23/2006
I like it!
| sirygirly chapter 1 . 2/23/2006
.god!i loved this so much!and dont worry,i will personally see to it that anybody who laughs dies!but anywho,i thought it was terrific!
| CelticKitsune90 chapter 1 . 2/23/2006
So Swet! (crying histaricly)
| coolmarauders chapter 1 . 2/23/2006
wow! that was super good for a first poem! wow!
your rhythm and rhyme where both really good! but does Hagrid believe in God?
| Aracalien chapter 1 . 2/23/2006
That was an excellent poem- you have a gift and I think you should definatly write more poetry. I know how hard it is to get reviews for a Hagrid fic, (I wrote one myself) so don't be discouraged if not too many people review. This really is one of the best poems I've read.

Chapter 23Mature
Rogan looked at the men standing before him. "Who are you?"
The men laughed for a moment, then stopped when they realized that Rogan was being serious. "We, are the servants of Jareed. Master of the Dragons, and King of the East. We have been sent by Jareed to find you and bring you to him."
Rogan grabbed his sword and pointed it at them, "And how do I know you're not lying?"
The men looked at each other and sighed. They both pulled up one of their sleeves on their robe. The two men bore a type of branding that was custom to those of the East. Rogan inspected it thoroughly to make sure that this was real, and that these men were actually servants of Jareed.
"Fine, where is this Jareed person anyways?" Rogan asked, walking closer to the men.
"Jareed should be back on his ship by now. Don't worry. We're your friend and ally, not your enemy." One of the men said to reassure Rogan.
Rogan, not letting go of his sword replied, "And how do I know that?"
"Because if we were, you'd already be dead." The second man replied.
The Burning Ember sat idle in the ocean, just a few miles of the coast of Esses. Vandresa was now deciding whether she should sail back to King's Point or return to Esses and send a raven baring the information. She tapped her fingers on the railing of the top deck of the ship. She looked back over at Esses, the Keep no longer towered over everything as it once did.
Lilliana stood next to Vandresa. She was in a thin gown that barely covered any of her body. She smiled at Vandresa. "What's wrong?"
"Lilliana, I am unsure of what to do. Do we sail back for King's Point and lose time, or do we sail back to Esses and bare the consequence." Vandresa said softly.
Lilliana placed two fingers under Vandresa's chin, lifting it up so that her eyes were looking right at her. "Vandresa, whatever you do," she paused smiling, "it will be the right decision."
Vandresa gave a small smile, then fixing her windblown hair. "Thank you Lilliana. I knew there was a reason I named you Grand Admiral."
Lilliana smiled, then grabbing Vandresa by her waist. "And I knew there was a reason why I called you my Queen."
Lilliana slowly kissed Vandresa, moving her hands up and down her back. After the two broke from each other, Lilliana grabbed Vandresa by her hand and pulled her down to the lower decks.
Vandresa blushed, "I've never... done it with a woman before. What is it like?"
Lilliana smiled, then laughed a little. "It's heaven. I'm sure you will like it."
Vandresa unlaced her gown, pushing it off of her shoulders. Lilliana smiled at her body, then ran her hands up and down Vandresa's waist. Vandresa slowly moved in closer to Lilliana, giving her a short kiss. Lilianna smiled then brushed off the thin and light gown. The two stood before each other, naked.
"So here we are." Lilliana said, laughing.
Lilliana pushed Vandresa onto the bed, kisssing her. Vandresa wrapped her arms around Lilliana's neck. Lilliana slowly kissing Vandresa, then moved down to her neck. Vandresa tilted her head slightly to the right, giving Lilliana more room. Vandresa now had goosebumps, but oddly enjoyed it.
"This feel..." she paused, breathing slightly heavier, "amazing."
Lilliana laughed, continuing her journey south. Lilliana slowly kissed Vandresa's abdomen, now sliding her hands up and down her thigh. Vandresa simply smiled and blushed. She wasn't use to this type of affection, especially not from a good friend. Finally Lilliana reached Vandresa's sensitive spot.
"Oh!" She shouted.
Lilliana looked up at her, stopping. "What's wrong?"
Vandresa laughed, giving her a small kiss on the lips, "Nothing. It's just that it felt good."
Lilliana smiled, then went back down. Vandresa began to curl her toes and threw her arms up. Her breathing became heavier and sweat started to form on her body.
"More!" She shouted.
Lilliana gave Vandresa what she wanted. Vandresa started to move her legs, she was enjoying this company. Finally Vandresa reached her climax. Lilliana smiled and kissed her once more. "So, did you enjoy that?"
"Yes. I enjoyed it quite a bit actually." Vandresa said, smiling, yet still breathing heavily.
Lilliana said no more, and only wrapped her arms around Vandresa and fell asleep.
Jareed placed the Queen's dead body on the wooden floor of his ship. He went to each of the seven candles, lighting each one. He then returned to the Queen's body, looking at it, frowning.
"You were of the dragonsblood. You were Esses' child. Slain by your closest friend and lover." Jareed said silently.
Jareed shook his head, then walked over to his table and grabbed a book bound in red leather. The book was once used by a powerful warlock, whom Jareed had killed. He opened the book, searching for the chant that would bring the dead back to life. Finding that the chant he was looking for was not in the book, he threw it in rage.
"None the matter, I will use blood magic." Jareed said tensely.
Jareed grabbed a dagger and cut his hand, allowing a few drops of blood to fall on the body of Maven. "Ichnad, hear out to thee, I call upon you in dire times, the Queen of Old has fallen and the time has come. Ichnad I have given you my blood to return to us the Dragon Queen. Ichnad! Ichnad! Ichnad!"
A gust of wind blew out the candles. Jareed looked around, shaking slightly. He walked slowly to the back of his chambers on his ship. He heard a noise; footsteps.
"Maven?" Jareed said quietly.
No answer. The door opened, and he jumped. "Who goes there!?"
"It's us! The men you sent to find the royal children." The taller man replied.
Rogan and Elena walked in first, then the two men. Elena saw her mother's dead body and screamed.
"What have you done to mother?" She shouted, nearly in tears.
Mother. Maven's head turned, looking right at Elena. The Queen had returned.
"Gods be..." Jareed said silently, approaching the woman.
Maven stood before the small group of people, looking at them all. Her black gown turned to cinders, she now stood before the group naked. The men covered Rogan and Elena's eyes.
"Maven, in the flesh." Jareed said observing her.
In a second, an ember colored gown molded itself to the Queen, with bronze wings on the shoulders of the gown. Maven's eyes went from their original ocean blue, to a deep red. Her skin, a once beautiful colored skin was now pale. Lastly, her beautiful blonde hair had turned to a deep black.
"Queen Maven... of the Vale and the Southern Kingdoms" Jareed said smiling.
"Has returned." She replied before taking her leave.

|Half Baths
|1,400 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
Charming 3 bedroom cape with ocean views, located 200 yards from the warm waters of Nantucket Sound. Large, bright, modern bedrooms, baths and eat in kitchen. A large comfortable living room with cable TV, DVD and High Speed internet or lay on the comfortable south facing deck and read your favorite book. Use your canoes or kayaks in Swan River or bike the famous Cape Cod Rail Trail which begins in Dennis. Golf on any of the many outstanding courses on the Cape. It is all here for you!
We have stayed at this property for the last 3 years, 2012-2014 and we couldn't imagine staying anywhere else. We have been going to the cape since 1978 and by far this is the best house we ever rented. Most houses this close to the water show their age quickly but not this one. Everything is modern, clean and well appointed. No need for air conditioning as the cool ocean breezes surround the house. A short 3min. walk to the beach without having to cross any roads, washer and dryer (a must have), brand new dishwasher and a well stocked kitchen, including lobster pot!
The huge, beach facing deck is our favorite place to have our morning coffee, read a book or just watch the sun rise on a beautiful summer morning. We also like the fact that it is the owners we deal with and not a realtor and it shows in the love they have for maintaining this gem of a house!
Can't wait till 2015!
Our family has been annual renters of this property since 2006. We can't imagine spending our Cape Cod vacation anywhere else. The beach house has been kept immaculate, it is cozy, and well stocked. Even on less than stellar beach days, we have been quite content to spread out and read, play games, and perhaps even indulge the children with a DVD. With two small children, location has been key. Short paved walks to the beach without any streets to cross. The beach is amazing with tide pools during low tide and great boogie boarding during high tides, and not to be forgotten, the ice cream truck making rounds!!! Swan River is adjacent to the beach which offers a lot of adventure!! Crabbing and fishing, in addition to jumping in and being carried off to sea!! At the end of the day at the beach, the bonus is the outdoor shower ( or maybe it is watching the sunset from the lovely deck with Adirondack chairs)! Who would mind washing their hair under the big beautiful blue sky? Definitely a highlight for our kids! The owners have been very accommodating to work with, and we wish them much success with their rental. Such a gem!!!
When choosing this cottage, I had done a lot of research on the Web. Our family was interested in a cottage in West Dennis that could accommodate all of our families needs. We were having a family reunion with our 3 twenty something daughters, son in law and grand-daughter (needless to say, there were a lot of different opinions on what they wanted in a rental). The cottage is in a great location and far exceeded our needs. We found it to be very clean, and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked. The beds were comfortable with plenty of extra blankets. Relaxing on the deck was a perfect "10".
My family rented this house 8/09. The house is in a great location just a short walk to a small sound beach without crossing any paved roads. The larger West Dennis beach is an easy bike ride away. We enjoyed the warmer waters of Nantucket Sound and my husband went wind surfing right from the beach. The house itself is immaculate. There are three TV's,games and books. The beds are quite comfortable with extra blankets provided. The kitchen is well stocked and there is a gas grill for barbecuing. We really enjoyed the front deck for relaxing and reading. There are plenty of restaurants and activities to enjoy just a short car ride away. The start of the Rail Trail is just a few miles away so you have the option of biking to it or parking your car in the lot located at the beginning of the trail. I would definitely recommend this home!
Family friendly quiet residential area located 1/10th mile to warm waters of Nantucket Sound. Swan River located next to town beach offers great swimming and rafting as well as outstanding kayaking, sailing and fishing. Within the Town of Dennis are many cultural and recreational activities for the whole family.
Other Activities: canoeing, kayaking

That was when I lost it.
"You know about the project?!" I got to my feet immediately, taking a step forward and getting ready to launch my body at Damien. He didn't so much as flinch at my reaction, smiling still from the couch opposite mine. In fact, it was probably a good thing that Leo had shot to his feet and wrapped an arm around my waist to hold me back.
"Easy Makayla," he muttered, forming an iron grip on my wrist to keep me from throwing myself at the one person I so wanted to murder in this world.
"You saw the text, and you didn't reply?!"
To say that Damien was even the least bit scared would be an outright lie. No, he was completely happy with my reaction, a look of accomplishment crossing his face as he grinned and crossed his arms triumphantly over his chest.
"That's right."
"And you didn't pick up when I called you!"
"You see my dear," he said, crossing his legs as he grinned up at me. "I missed you so very much that I wanted you to come visit me. And I knew I would have no other way to do so unless I acted like I hadn't read your text or seen your calls."
That was it. I'd had it up to the maximum limit. "I'm leaving," I muttered, dragging Leo with me as I headed toward the front door. I was surprisingly strong for him as he dug his feet into the floorboards. That, or he wasn't trying. Probably the latter.
"Give him another chance Makayla."
"No, I won't. He's insufferable," I responded.
Just when I was about to set step out of the house, Damien's voice called out cheerfully, "Happy failing!"

"People have always said I was too small or something," said Fisher Saturday morning after his first Levar Fisher Skills Camp at East Carteret. "I had to prove I could play in high school and then college."
"Now I've made it to the NFL, I'm there, and I want to prove I belong there, too. And I just don't want to go in and watch other people play. I want to play. I want to be Rookie of the Year, make the All-Rookie team, be the best rookie out there. I want to prove that I belong there. I don't want to be a bust."

Fantastic trail. Did this back in 2014....twice. Only negative was the recent burn area from the Angola Mountain Fire. That area can be easily bypassed though. Water at Trout Meadow from a spring box, and also at Willow spring. Continue on for an easy drop down to the Kern. Camp at Grasshopper Flat. We were trying for Kern Lakes but didn't make it.
What is the parking spot about 5 miles away from the bridge on the Little Kern? Anyone know? I have been to it twice but have forgotten.
Good trail easy hike in from Lewis trailhead nice climb out.
Well worn trail. Like walking in sand from all the horse traffic. We took a wrong trail and the 5 mile in turned into a 15 mile in!! My own fault. The way back from the little kern is all uphill!!!
Horseshoe Meadow has two major trailheads (Cottonwood Lakes and Cottonwood Pass) providing access to areas such as the Golden Trout Wilderness, Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park, and the John Muir Wilderness. Numerous hiking adventures are possible.
I chose to do a 23 mile loop out of Horseshoe Meadow. I parked my car at the Cottonwood Pass trailhead. The trail segments for my hike included the Cottonwood Pass Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, the Siberian Pass Trail, the New Army Pass Trail, and the Cottonwood Lakes Trail. Two significant passes were encountered; Cottonwood Pass (11,200 ft.) and New Army Pass (12,300 ft.). I camped at Chicken Spring Lake the first night and Soldier Lakes (the lower of the two) the second night - both excellent places with many campsite options. My water sources were Chicken Spring Lake, Soldier Lakes, and Long Lake. Permit and regulation information for this area can be found on the Inyo National Forest website. A word of caution on this trail, New Army Pass can be impassable in the early summer due to snow. The conditions of the pass are available on the Sequoia & Kings Canyon website. Also, the road to Horseshoe Meadow constantly climbs with switchbacks, so be patient and keep your eyes on the road.
Pito T. on Lewis Camp Trail to the Little Kern River
We hiked this trail in March and it was awesome. We started at the Jerky meadow parking lot for a one day hike. It was all uphill from the beginning to golden trout wilderness sign. From there we headed towards the bridge and little kern and it was all downhill. When reached the river it felt good to soak our feet in the river and to refuel on some snacks. This was my second time walking this trail and it won't be the last. I had more fun with an overnight stay than just a one day in and out hike. If you get a chance ad it to your bucket list.
Started the hike from Crescent Meadow in Sequoia and hiked out through Cottonwood campground. Great hike!!!
This was a great trail! The fishing was awesome and it is hard to beat catching one of the rarest trout in the USA, The Little Kern Golden Trout. The fish would literally jump out of the water and hit my fly! I hiked in June and it got pretty hot. Great time fishing all the streams and definitely worth the trip!
This trail had just been maintained last year ( Summer 2011 ), I know because when I backpacked Willow Mdws I met a trail maintence crew doing some brush clearing. I would do this hike in late June til the middle of July as both Trout and Willow Mdws are real green that time of year. Also there are some really good campsites at both of the meadows.
This is a well maintained trail, very wide in some places, the good thing about this trail its mostly downhill to the river but its a long uphill climb back. This trail is also heavily used you will not be alone on this trail.

Although not required, CSI strongly encourages candidates to successfully complete the AFP Exam 1 prior to attempting AFP Exam 2. The assessment in AFP Exam 2 builds on the content and depth examined in AFP Exam 1 with a greater expectation for candidates to analyze, evaluate and formulate strategies to present solutions for client situations. The Student Performance Report from AFP Exam 1 may also assist candidates in identifying areas of weakness for preparation for AFP Exam 2.
AFP Exam 1: Standalone Multiple-Choice Format
The exam is three hours in duration and includes 100 to 110 independent multiple-choice questions, including possible pilot questions.
The approximate exam weighting of AFP Exam 1 by core competency is as follows:
|Appropriate Exam Percentage Weightings of AFP Exam 1 by Core Competency
|Develop a professional relationship with clients based on trust and credibility
|Analyze qualitative information required to create financial recommendations
|Analyze quantitative information required to create a financial plan
|Formulate financial planning strategies and recommendations
|Prepare financial planning recommendations
|Finalize the financial plan with the client
|Implement financial planning solutions
|Monitor Results of the financial plan
|Update the financial plan
AFP Exam 2: Case Scenario - Constructed-Response Format
This examination includes one comprehensive financial planning case scenario with 8 to 12 related questions. The numbered questions may include smaller sub-questions. Candidates have up to three hours to complete the examination. Candidates construct a response to the posed question and provide a written response (in long-hand) in the examination book. The examination may also include a number of charts or data sheets requiring completion (e.g., cash flow, statement of net worth, etc.). Questions may include sub-questions that assess smaller pieces of information.
A case scenario is used to test candidates' ability to demonstrate the competencies and ability to apply the professional knowledge and skills as set out in the PFP® Professional Competency Profile. Questions presented on AFP Exam 2 will focus on the candidate's ability to apply their financial planning knowledge to demonstrate professional competence in the practice of financial planning as required by the case scenario and posed questions. The presentation of how the examination is weighted is two dimensional in that the examination is weighted both structurally and by competency.
Any and all competencies from the PFP® Professional Competency Profile are subject to testing in each section of the examination and candidates should be prepared to demonstrate those competencies across all sections of the examination. AFP Exam 2 is weighted by core competency, with an approximate range of +/- 5% variation for each competency, as follows:
|Approximate Exam Percentage Weightings of AFP Exam 2 by Core Competency
|Develop a professional relationship with clients based on trust and credibility
|Analyze qualitative information required to create financial recommendations
|Analyze quantitative information required to create a financial plan
|Formulate financial planning strategies and recommendations
|Prepare financial planning recommendations
|Finalize the financial plan with the client
|Implement financial planning solutions
|Monitor results of the financial plan
|Update the financial plan
Preparing for the AFP Certification Examination
Candidates should use the PFP® Professional Competency Profile, any course or learning materials from the completed prerequisite educational route or other learning resources, the examination weightings and the Candidate Guidelines as their study materials in preparation to write the AFP Certification Examination. Additional information on using these materials is available on the Support Materials page. As only the Competency Profile is the basis for the examination, candidates should cross-reference the profile with their study materials to identify any gaps in the materials or their own knowledge, and research independently to fill in those gaps to ensure that they possess the required knowledge and skills and ability to apply those in an examination environment.

Krita is KDE's painting and image editing program that soon will see its v2.8 release. With this next Krita release there is new usage of OpenGL 3.x within the open-source program. Under the high quality filtering mode, OpenGL 3.0 is now used for delivering a superior painting/imaging experience.
For those early adopters of the Plasma 2 interface and KDE Frameworks 5, KWrite is the latest KDE application to be ported over to the next-generation KDE stack.
For those interested in ditching Compiz or other window managers in favor of KDE's KWin, it is actually possible to do so and use KWin on your favorite non-KDE desktop.
Martin Gräßlin, KDE's Kwin maintainer, has shared some new OpenGL implications due to changes made in the KWin 5 window manager due to relying on Qt5 with Qt Quick 2.
After dabbling with a KDE Plasma Active Tablet, Aaron Siego has announced today Make Play Live's first product as the Improv. The Improv is an open-source ARM development board that runs Mer OS and is compatible with Wayland.
The third beta of KDE 4.12 was released this week, but for those that missed the news only really are the 4.12 apps being improved in this next KDE desktop release.
While there's many Kdenlive fans out there for the KDE-focused open-source video editor, it seems new development efforts around the project have ceased.
Plasma Media Center, the KDE project to slowly take on the likes of XBMC and provide a nice user-interface for multimedia tasks atop the KDE experience, is up to version 1.2 beta. The 1.2 beta release of Plasma Media Center is packing a number of new features.
In readying KDE 4.12 for release next month, the second beta of the KDE 4.12 applications and platform packages are now available for early adopters and those testing this leading desktop environment.
Sebastian Kügler has provided an update concerning the state of running the Plasma Desktop running on top of Qt 5 and KDE Frameworks 5. A "tech preview" is still aimed for next month while a stable release for end-users is likely on the table for next summer.
The KDE KWin maintainer, Martin Gräßlin, has announced today that the KWin 5 code is in good shape, he's using it for day-to-day use, and will now begin accepting bug reports on the window manager that supports Qt5.
The updated applications and platform code for the KDE desktop environment is now in its 4.12 Beta state. However, as we already knew, KDE Plasma Workspaces is still in its 4.11 form until the premiere of Workspaces 2 and KDE Frameworks 5.
While we're growing very excited to see the KDE Plasma 2 tech preview release along with KDE Frameworks 5, which will hopefully be ready to try next month, for now there is KDE SC 4.11.3 to play with. KDE 4.11.3 was released on Tuesday and should take care of more than 120 bugs.
KDE's Sebastian Kügler has written how the Plasma 2 shell has become "somewhat usable" for early adopters and KDE enthusiasts for the technologies that will really be taking on the Linux desktop in 2014.
Following Mark Shuttleworth's critical comments about those opposed to Mir and his statements being challenged, multiple KDE developers in particular have been expressing their outrage.
For those using Intel graphics does toggling the "suspend desktop effects for fullscreen windows" KDE Kwin window manager option lead to better OpenGL Linux gaming performance? Here's some new benchmarks to answer that question for Intel Core i7 hardware.
Martin Gräßlin made "a dream come true" today with killing the KScreensaver support in the KDE Plasma Workspaces in a commit entitled "Die kscreensaver, die!" He also proceeded to remove the KDE Screensaver KCM control module and drop other code too, including KRandR.
While KDE 4.12 isn't even being released until December and many KDE developers are busy focusing their efforts on KDE Frameworks 5, there still are a number of KDE 4.12 features that have already been prepared for this next desktop release.
For those curious how the KDE libraries are going to be modularized by KDE Frameworks 5, there's a new article at KDE.org covering the changes.
For those curious about the state of KDE Frameworks 5 and the Plasma 2 desktop interface, KDE developer Sebastian Kügler has posted a video of the current state of this new KDE code that's expected to stabilize in 2014.
Plasma NM 0.9.3.0 is a new KDE Plasma applet for NetworkManager in managing network connections and is written in QML/C++. This new version replaces the older widget-based NetworkManagement applet for the KDE desktop.
Plasma Active, the version of the KDE interface for consumer electronics like tablets and powered by Mer Core, is now up to version four.
With the release of KDE Frameworks 5 expected in 2014 and other fundamental changes happening within the KDE development community, the release schedule/process is changing quite a lot.
KDE SC 4.11.1 has been released as the first monthly stable point release update to the KDE 4.11 Software Compilation.
The KDE Software Compilation 4.12 release schedule has now been finalized with a plan to put out the KDE 4.12 release on the 18th of December.
One week after the release of KDE Software Compilation 4.11, Plasma Media Center 1.1 has been officially released. With this updated KDE multimedia interface comes YouTube integration, improvements to ease of use, and much more.
Joining in on the KDE 4.11 release fun this week is the Amarok 2.8 multimedia player release.
For speeding up the development of KDE Frameworks 5, developers at Blue Systems are near exclusively focusing upon the development of these frameworks for the next three months.
KDE Software Compilation 4.11 has been released as its six-month update to the KDE desktop environment stack. With KDE 4.11 comes many exciting changes ahead of the KDE Frameworks 5 transition.
The first release candidate for KDE's Plasma Media Center 1.1 release is now available. Plasma Media Center supports viewing photographs, watching movies, and listening to music from one central KDE component.

Perfect cabin for a perfect week in Downeast Maine! It had everything we needed to enjoy a great family week on the lake. We loved canoeing, roasting marshmallows and just exploring Maine. We will definitely be back!
Our family had a wonderful stay at Orange Lake. We could have easily stayed another few weeks! It was so quiet and I loved hearing the camp noises at night. We had a great time exploring the immediate area of the camp as well as walking through Lubec, visiting Campobello, East Quoddy, and the numerous trails around the ocean. We were in the area for the Bay of Fundy races, but we are looking at coming back just for fun. We ALMOST finished the 1000 piece puzzle. That was a huge challenge with our 4 kids helping on cool nights. Eric was very helpful and it was nice to see him both at the camp and after the race! Wonderful location, excellent laundry (full size laundry!) and WiFi. A great vacation!
Me and my wife made the long drive up to this beautiful home labor day weekend and we both wish we had planned to stay a few days longer. The house was beautiful and very well taken care of. The property was very clean and all amenities functioned %100. We loved that other than our trip into Machias to pickup food we did not see another person the whole weekend. We spent most of the day either relaxing on the front porch or the dock. Our dogs could not get enough of swimming around their dock! i think they would have preferred to stay there! every comfort of home was available at the house. Air conditioning and heat, internet, cable, washer dryer, grill...... it was all there and more.
we would both highly recommend this beautiful property to anyone and would love to visit again!
thanks again to Eric and Paula!
Best Maria, George and the pups!
My three children and I just got back from a week at this beautiful home. I didn't want to ever leave. It is so peaceful and relaxing there. The house itself is exactly as represented on the website. It is beautifully constructed and very clean! The kitchen has everything you could think of that you might need when cooking. The bathroom has a washer and dryer which I really appreciate having on vacation. I loved the clothesline outside too! It was so wonderful waking up in the morning and looking outside at the river. I would sit on the front porch with my coffee and you can't see or hear any other people. Pure bliss! The river and lake are beautiful. We enjoyed canoeing and kayaking. It is calm enough that my 10 year old daughter was able to kayak on her own with us next to her in the canoe. She thought that was the best! We went to Quoddy Head State Park which has amazing scenery and views. Lubec was a fun town to explore and we recommend Becky's Seafood in Lubec. It's a food cart on the owner's property, right next to their house. It doesn't look like much but the fish and chips are so good! We went back a second time. We also went to Reversing Falls in Pembroke which the kids thought was very cool. This was just a great vacation where I got to relax and reconnect with my children. They are 17, 14, and 10 and they actually spent time playing board games together which I haven't seen them do in a long time. Thank you Eric and Paula for this beautiful rental property!
This was our second year staying here. We love the house and property. It's a charming, cozy little house, right on the river which feeds into the lake. You immediately feel at home and the owners are warm, lovely people who were very helpful and welcoming via phone and email. We enjoyed many hours kayaking and canoeing on the lake and rainy days snuggled inside with a cup of coffee and a book or playing board games with our kids. This is a beautiful, wild area of Maine with incredible coastal hikes and rugged ocean border towns with rich fascinating histories. We loved exploring Lubec and The pirate festival in Eastport and we even did a day trip to Acadia. Great getaway place! Perfect place to hideout from the world and relax with your family. Highly recommend! We'll be back again :)
I could not be more appreciative of Eric, Paula and their family and for creating this AMAZING place. I had a really rough start this year, day one and two of my vacation. This family turned it all around -
The house was exactly, as was stated. The clarity of these two in renting their property A PLEASURE to deal with. Eric you must be one of the most laid back people I have ever dealt with, your directness made it all so simple and a true pleasure. You delivered exactly what you sold. That is integrity.
The house is really well located for all hiking trails, restaurants, Campobello - Again made it so easy to take off for the day and see and do so much without spending hrs. on the road.
The house is so well equipped and super clean. I am a caterer and chef. Stove works awesome!!! Gas!!! Everything worked awesome!!! Made it soooooo enjoyable to even cook on vacation!! Nothing is better than to get some fresh fish or shell fish from Becky's and some pie from Helens - make a salad - your done.
The attention to detail from Both Eric and Paula made this house such a pleasure for all of us - backgammon anyone.....????
THE DECOR IS FANTASTIC!! Again, so full of expression and comfort - it makes it feel like you just put on a great pair of slippers when you walk into this house ..........HOME AT LAST!!Even the dogs were so at ease and relaxed in this space- Because they had space!!
My dog is having a tough time adjusting to the return - guess she misses all that natural nightlife going on in the woods, or sleeping on that porch in the afternoon or that lawn that goes down to the dock.......great yoga space down there on the dock in the afternoon sun or morning mist - - bring your mat if you are so inclined.
Eric, Paula and Family -
THANK YOU AGAIN!!!! Hope to return......
Be Well!! - Patricia, Cookie, Sean, Rachael and Finn

|U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Platte River (Iowa and Missouri)
The Platte River is a tributary of the Missouri River, about 200 miles (320 km) long,[1] in southwestern Iowa and northwestern Missouri in the United States. It is sometimes known as the Little Platte River to distinguish it from the larger Platte River, also a tributary of the Missouri, in nearby Nebraska; the Platte River of Missouri itself has a tributary known as the "Little Platte River".[2][3][4]
The Platte River rises near Creston in Union County, Iowa, and flows generally southwardly through Adams, Ringgold and Taylor Counties in Iowa; and Worth, Nodaway, Andrew, Buchanan and Platte Counties in Missouri. Along its course it passes the Iowa towns of Maloy, Blockton and Athelstan; and the Missouri towns of Sheridan, Parnell, Ravenwood, Conception Junction, Guilford, Tracy, Platte City and Farley. The Platte flows into the Missouri River near Farley, downstream of Leavenworth, Kansas.[5][6]
Several sections of the river's course have been straightened and channelized.[5][6]
- Near its headwaters in Iowa the Platte collects minor branches known as the West Platte River,[7] Middle Platte River,[8] and East Platte River.[9][5]
- In Buchanan County, Missouri, it collects the One Hundred and Two River and the Third Fork,[10] which rises in Gentry County and flows southwardly through DeKalb County, past Union Star. The Third Fork collects the Little Third Fork,[11] which flows southwardly through DeKalb and Buchanan Counties, past Clarksdale.[6]
- In Platte County, Missouri, it collects the Little Platte River,[4] which rises in DeKalb County and flows south-southwestwardly through Clinton and Clay Counties, past Plattsburg and Smithville. Near Smithville, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dam causes the Little Platte River to form Smithville Lake.[6]
When Missouri entered the union in 1821, the western border of Missouri from Arkansas to Iowa was based on the confluence of the Kansas River and Missouri River in the West Bottoms in Kansas City. Land in what is now the northwest Missouri was deeded to the Ioway, Sac and Fox tribes.
However, settlers (most notably Joseph Robidoux in St. Joseph, Missouri) began encroaching on the land. Further settlers in northern Missouri were upset about being cut off from the Missouri.
In 1836, William Clark (of Lewis and Clark) persuaded the tribes to sell their lands in northwest Missouri. The deal known as the Platte Purchase was named for the river was ratified in 1837 and the tribes were paid $7,500 for an area about the combined size of Delaware and Rhode Island. The land was then annexed to Missouri.
In 1838 settlers used the river (and the Nodaway River) to reach the heart of the newly available land. The Platte River is not used for transportation in modern times although Missouri River steam boats did call on Tracy, Missouri.
On September 3, 1861, bushwhackers burned a bridge over the river at St. Joseph, Missouri, derailing a Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad train killing between 17 and 20 and injuring 200 in one of the worst attacks on a passenger train in the Platte Bridge Railroad Tragedy during the American Civil War. Union forces were to burn Platte City, Missouri in 1861 and 1864 as they tried to force the residents to give up Silas M. Gordon, the suspected ringleader of the attack.
The river is the biggest river in the Platte Purchase area and it flows through the Kansas City Metropolitan Area as well as St. Joseph, Missouri metropolitan area. The river is an eighth order river.
Average flow at mile 25.1 is 1,925 cubic feet second (54.5 m3/s). The highest flow was 37,800 ft3/s (1070 m3/s) during the Great Flood of 1993 on July 26, 1993. The lowest flow was 12 ft3/s (0.33 m/s) during a drought in August 1989.

It's important for him to protect his head, but maybe not so much for his noggin to be warm or comfy. However, you're a human, and while it's important to protect your head, too, you're far more likely to be protecting it from the rain, wind, and snow than from Fire Man's pyro weapons. That's why we here at ThinkGeek created this Mega Man Crochet Hat. It's got rockin' style paired with the warm fuzziness of a winter hat. The helmet ridge is dimensional. And since it's our creation, you can only find this baby at ThinkGeek. Now we just need a Mega Buster muff to pair with this, and our winter closets will be complete.

Just three weeks before a crucial set of local elections, the Tories have extended their lead over Labour.
The Populus poll, published in the Times, puts David Cameron's party a six-point lead over Gordon Brown's - up from three points last month.
The Conservatives are on 39 per cent, with Labour on 33 per cent and the Liberal Democrats down two points on 17 per cent.
Scroll down for more...
Mr Cameron has now been leading Labour for all but three months of the past two years - although they are not doing as well as Mr Blair did in the last years of the Tory government in the mid 1990s.
The poll comes after a difficult week for the Prime Minister, with backbenchers rebelling over his decision to abolish the 10p band of income tax, which hits poorer people harder.
It finds that 31 per cent of people believe Mr Brown is a worse prime minister than Mr Blair, with only 14 per cent saying his he is better.
The remainder say he is just the same.
Mr Cameron remains the most well respected party leader, while Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg's ratings have risen - despite the embarrassment over his candid interview about his sex life last week.
But Gordon Brown's have fallen sharply, especially among Labour voters.
The survey says Mr Brown has presided over a sharp drop in confidence on the future of the economy.
Just 39 per cent believe the economy will improve next year - the lowest level in five years. Some 59 per cent believe the economy will get worse.
More than two thirds of voters believe Labour is "heading in the wrong direction", and only 3 per cent say Mr Brown has made a "real difference" to Britain.
More than a third say he has done worse than expected in the job.Reuse content

Chapter 2
New School Part 2
It was him again. God everytime I see him... Dad stopped and I got out of the car, everyone turned to me. I just kept walking, it's really weird everyone looking at me. Then suddenly the guy went infront of me and said "Hi", my dad went so I was with this guy, I don't even know his name. I just said Hi, he took me to my tutor room, it was his tutor and I had to sit with him, but he smiled when I sat next to him. I finally found out his name, well not by asking him but I'm next to him in all my lessons and I saw his book and his name. Robert. We had maths next, I hate maths, Robert was helping me, but I didnt say anything (once again) Everytime I looked at him, I was thinking god aren't you gorgeous. Then it was the end of the day, I started to walk home then dad drove up and I got in. I look back and Robert disappered again...

TCU Lights Up Air Force Wednesday Night, 61-31
Feb. 22, 2012
FORT WORTH, Texas – TCU's smothering defense blanketed Air Force Wednesday night as the Horned Frogs held the Falcons to a season-low 17.3 percent from the field en route to a comfortable 61-31 victory at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.
On a dominating night, the Frogs simply attacked Air Force on the defensive end of the court as the Falcons shot 9-of-52 from the field for 17.3 percent, which is the second lowest field goal percentage by an opponent in school history and the lowest of any Mountain West school this season. It was also the lowest percentage since Texas Southern shot 10.3 percent from the field in 2002.
The young and pesky Frogs got out of the gates quickly Wednesday and never looked back as they held Air Force, who went scoreless from the field for almost nine minutes of play in the first half Wednesday, to only 11.5 percent from the floor in the opening frame on 3-of-26 shooting from the field. In all, the Falcons' 13 first half points were tied for the 10th lowest in school history.
With the win, TCU improved to 14-13 overall and 7-5 in the Mountain West, while Air Force dropped to 5-22 and 0-12 in league play.
Natalie Ventress led the Frogs with a game-high 17 points, while sophomore Meagan Henson had a career-night with a new career-high of 10 points on 3-of-4 shooting from the field, including 2-of-3 from three-point land. Defensively, sophomore Latricia Lovings had a solid night with a career-high 11 rebounds and three blocks, while Ventress and crew harassed Air Force's leading scorer coming into the game Alicia Leipprandt into a 1-of-16 showing for a total of two points. Leipprandt came into the game averaging 13.3 points per contest.
In all, the Frogs held Air Force without a player in double-figures as Dymond James, who averaged double-figures coming into the night, scored a team-high six points on only 1-of-12 from the floor.
On the night, TCU outscored the Falcons in the paint, 26-6, while forcing Air Force into 23 turnovers. The Frogs, who out-rebounded the Falcons, also tallied a 31-15 advantage in bench points Wednesday.
The Frogs got right to work in the second half as Chelsea Prince scored on a reverse layup early on in the period to push the Purple and White lead to 25. In all, Air Force didn't get its 15th point of the game until the 16:57 mark of the second half. Henson pushed the score to 40-15 a few moments later, dropping a tear dropper in on a running floater to amass double-digits in points for the first time in her young career.
Midway through the second half, Delisa Gross found a cutting Ventress who beat her defender and softly laid it in at the 14:48 mark. The freshman sensation would tickle the twine from deep the next trip down the court and the route continued as the Frogs were now up 45-15 with a little over 13 minutes remaining in the game.
Overall, Air Force didn't even hit the 20-point mark until 9:52 left to go in the game. Logan Mittie continued the Horned Frogs dominating fashion a few minutes later, dropping two-straight treys, which made the score 53-25 with a little over five minutes to go in the contest.
The Frogs would score eight more after that to put the finishing touches on an impressive night at the DMC.
TCU jumped out to a 10-4 lead early in the game after Briesha Wynn dropped in a jumper from inside the lane off an assist by Whitney Williams. Air Force rattled off four-straight before Henson drilled a deep trey to give TCU a 13-8 lead at the 8:36 mark of the first half. The sophomore would drop it in from deep again a few moments later to push the Frogs up by eight.
Following an offensive board, Lovings gave to TCU a 10-point lead with 6 minutes, 53 seconds to go in the half and Antoinette Thompson continued the hot shooting for the Purple and White on the next trip down the court, nailing a three.
By the time Ventress scored on a tough three-point play, the Frogs were comfortably ahead at 24-8 with 4:40 left to go in the half. Williams then got into the act, knifing through the Air Force defense for a nifty reverse layup down the stretch to make the score 26-10 in huge favor of the Frogs.
Ventress would tickle the twine from deep with a little over two minutes remaining in the opening frame and score two more at the free throw line to bring the score to 32-10. A couple of buckets down the stretch brought the halftime score to 36-13 in favor of the Horned Frogs.
TCU will return to action Saturday afternoon at New Mexico. Tip-off is set for 3:00 p.m. CT.

Greenland with Fuji X-T1 | Andro Loria
This year I could not travel far, so this is a retrospective blog – two years ago I took my then brand new X-T1 and X-E1 (as a backup) paired with 55-200, 14, 18-55 and 35mm lenses and went trekking in Greenland and Iceland for three weeks on tour organised by Icelandic Mountain Guides. At that point I had little experience in landscape photography and did not know Fuji X series cameras very well. But they were light, compact with great quality sensors and importantly all this gear could fit into one Lowepro 102 AW sling pack withND filters, SD cards and 12 extra batteries. Long distance hiking for days puts certain demands on weight and size and for that Fuji X cameras were ideal. I had X-T1 with vertical grip and 55-200 attached in the main compartment of the pack and X-E1 with 18-55 in the smaller top compartment. The sling pack was always slung on my front, over the rucksak shoulder straps (38l Osprey Kestrel) on my back with my day gear. The combo was very comfortable and well balanced, so I had no restrictions in movement and could get either of the cameras out quickly to take a shot.Post-editing was done in Iridient Developer and Lightroom 6.

A trip to Venice with the two Fuji's | Gary Smith
Maggie and I have recently returned from our Venice trip and I've spent the last four days editing the images, so I thought I'd share some with you. Despite still owning a Nikon DSLR kit my preferred choice for travelling is my Fuji Kit, and has been for a few years now. So I took a stripped down kit consisting of my Fuji X-E1, Fuji X-M1 and Fuji's 18-55mm f2.8/4, 55-200mm f3.5/4.6 and the 35mm f1.4 – leaving my 14mm 2.8 and 60mm 2.4 at home. My modus operandi for daytime photography was to take the Fuji X-E1 plus the 18-55mm and the 55-200mm, these fitted comfortably into my Lowepro Passport Sling bag, with some additional dividers fastened with velcro…….
Spring a year ago – Landscape photography | Mac Sokulski
It's been exactly a year ago, when these photographs were taken. Sometimes I wonder, why it takes me such a long time to share them. I think it's the combination of procrastination and being lazy. It's not that I don't want to share, or think these are bad images…. I mean I wouldn't be sharing them at all if I thought they were bad. Just that I have a huge back log of images that just sitting in a dropbox folder, all dusted and almost forgotten. It seems that I must be taking too many images :) I think it's also a little bit of a memory lane. Going through the old images and think about the times they were taken. Funny thing is, I remember exactly what I was doing at that time. What me and Kasia were talking about. Yet I can't remember what I did last week. Funny that…….

Classic Chrome on Fujifilm X-Pro1 and X-E1 | Stephen Bray
PEOPLE FREQUENTLY ASK WHY FUJIFILM NEVER OFFERED CLASSIC CHROME AS A RENDERING OPTION FOR THEIR X-PRO1 AND X-E1 CAMERAS. I confess that I've googled to see if this update is available on a few occasions. It isn't, or at least the availability is not obvious. In fact, both the X-Pro1 and X-E1 are boxed with a custom version of SilkyPix a RAW converter that is specially adapted for the Fujifilm X-Trans sensor. Classic Kodachrome was included within the rendering options available from the end of February 2015. This is often overlooked, however, because the .jpg files from all the X-Series cameras are so good many, especially professionals, avoid using RAW. RAW processing increases workflow time, and when you're busy, rather than a hobbyist, time is money……..

Using Manual Lenses With the Fuji X System | Roy Cruz
It's the lunar new year here in Korea, so I'd like to wish you all 새해복많이받으세요 (best wishes for the new year)! I'm at my in-laws' place for the holidays so I thought I'd do a bit of blogging between the food, drinks, and karaoke :D. Using manual lenses with the Fujifilm X system is a great option to experiment and expand your camera system. Third-party lens manufacturers such as Samyang produce very high quality and relatively affordable manual focus lenses. Moreover, numerous adapters on the market open the doors to endless possibilities that span multiple brands and decades worth of lenses. From Canon to Nikon, M42 to Leica, the rabbit hole goes very deep for using adapters and lenses for your Fuji X. Yes, you lose autofocus functionality, but the manual focus assist options provided by mirrorless cameras has made manual lenses very easy to use. Personally, I went for a combination of modern third-party and classic M42 screw mount lenses……..

Photography: Fujifilm X-E1 Rediscovered | Michael St. Jean
Ever since I bought the X-T1, my Fujifilm X-E1 has lived in exile in a bag in the closet. But that was then and this is now and the X-E1 is back in use for two reasons:
- I bought a larger messenger to use for work (Timbuk2 Alchemist) which not only holds my work stuff, but can also accommodate the X-E1 with 27mm pancake lens. It is comforting to have a quality camera on hand throughout the day.
- I found a $3 lens hood in a box of miscellaneous stuff that fits the 27mm pancake lens making the X-E1 + grip + 27mm + hood combination look and feel really, really, retro cool……..

2015 Recap: 1 Year With the Fujifilm | RIVALSv
I can't believe 2015 is over… Actually I can't believe I made it through the entire year. Last September I was let go from my job for improper content on social media (as most of you know). It was one of those bittersweet moments, where I felt shitty because I was fired, but also excited about the opportunities that were now in front of me. I admit early on I was scared, I went from a full time job where I made a decent amount of money to literally having no income whatsoever, if that wasn't pressure enough I was expecting a kid as well. I needed an outlet, a vacation or a road trip, something to take my mind off of everything. I visited Chicago that month, I took nothing with me but a change of clothes and my Canon 6D with 40mm f/2.8 lens. I literally shot for 3 days straight, non-stop…..

Mirrorless Reflections | F. James Conley
This is not a gear blog. When the gear matters to the creative output, however, it's time to write a gear post. Such is the case when it comes to fashion photography. We've previously discussed the preliminary thinking that goes into a fashion shoot, but once the photographer and the designer understand the creative vision, it's time for the photographer to implement it through the magic ingredients of ISO, shutter speed, and aperture. Camera considerations in the studio are fewer than on the street. In the studio with strobes, the maximum shutter speed will be the camera's sync speed. ISO in the studio is a much more controllable artistic effect, but unless there is something particular about your camera sensor's high-ISO noise that you like, those considerations are usually handled in development. Most of the attention in the studio is on creating the right kind of lighting and the right action with the model. In a studio, it's possible to work the same idea repeatedly until the image gets made. The story is very different on the street, with only available light. Shooting fashion on the street is an order of magnitude harder than studio photography, but the images can be so much more engaging……..

Liverpool | Rory Prior
Since moving up north three years ago, I've been meaning to visit Liverpool. Finally the opportunity arose last month, so I jumped on the train with fellow photographer and Fuji enthusiast Richard Gascoigne, for the one and a half hour journey to Merseyside. I think it's not a stretch to say modern Liverpool is most famous for The Beatles and its premier league football club, rather than its mercantile history. Like its northern siblings, it suffered a long painful period of stagnation and decline as traditional industries collapsed or were made obsolete. It's only comparatively recently (the last 20 or so years), that serious efforts have been made to revitalise and regenerate the city. Its skyline now has its fair share of gleaming glass and steel office blocks, standing incongruously with elegant Victorian structures thankfully protected for future generations. Unlike in Leeds and Manchester, the process of regeneration feels less complete, and in many places appears stalled entirely. No where is this more evident than the sprawling northern docks. Listed buildings and world heritage sites lie surrounded by temporary barriers, or locked behind tall metal gates with vast swaths of empty land that no one seems to have much use for……

Summer Life | Adriel Henderson
It's been a hot summer! Here in Oregon we've been breaking heat records – consistently in the upper 90's, some days over 100. With little rain, the lakes are low and the sky is a yellow haze. Vintage Instagram, no filter needed. Honestly, I haven't pulled the little Fuji X out as much as I should. My excuse? Partly the heat, mostly the endless list of projects that seem to accompany summer. But there have been a few occasions here and there. My eldest, David, turned 18, graduated High School, and picked up his driving license – all within a handful of weeks! Certainly some proud dad moments there…….
