Greetings! Welcome to this story. There really isn't all that much to say about it. I was noticing just how many time Tolkien mentions Fëanor's creative genius -- the guy seems to have invented just about everything, from a new and improved alphabet to the Palantirs, all sorts of pretty artificial gems, swords, the Silmarils, civil war, what have you. All this in addition to punching out more sons than any Elf ever had. Honestly, one wonders where poor Fëanor ever found the time to go berserk.
Anyway, I decided to let him "invent" just one more feature of life in Arda. . . and then I ran with that idea to see where it might lead me.
Enjoy the story. I'll see you at the end.
1. Waiting
"I think," Macalaurë said slowly, "that I would like a little sister."
Carnistir grinned. "Then you will be disappointed," he said. "Tyelkormo and I both wish for another little brother, and there are two of us against one of you. We will win."
"Perhaps not," Macalaurë replied. "I am bigger than you are. Perhaps my wishes carry more weight."
Tyelkormo snorted. "I do not think so. You have wished for a sister for years, and see what you have gotten from it? Me and Carnistir and Curufinwë. It will be another boy, and there is nothing that you can do about it."
"Perhaps this time will be different," Macalaurë said amiably. "Maitimo, what do you want? Another brother or a sister?"
Maitimo looked up from the idle sketches he had been making. He glanced at the corridor that led to Fëanáro and Nerdanel's chamber, then back at his brothers. He made an effort to smile, though he could not erase the worry from his face completely. "Mother has always produced boys, and there is no reason to think that she will do otherwise now," he said. "At this point, I do not especially care whether it is a brother or a sister. I just want it to be born and for everyone to be safe."
The others fell silent. Maitimo had just voiced the fear that they all shared. Nerdanel's sixth pregnancy had taken an alarming turn early on, as her belly had swollen far too rapidly. In the last months, little Curufinwë had been sure she would burst. Fëanáro had assured him over and over that this was extremely unlikely, but he could not hide his own fear for his wife.
"The baby must be enormous," he had confided to Maitimo one night. "And she is so exhausted from carrying it. I cannot see how she will ever manage to give it birth."
In the end, there had not been nearly as much time to worry about that as the family had expected. Nerdanel's labor had started at Telperion's zenith, far sooner than was expected. "I do not mind in the least," she had declared while she was still able to move around the house a little. "I have grown so round and heavy that it will be a relief not to be pregnant any longer." Fëanáro had made the effort to laugh at that even as he dispatched messengers to fetch the midwives and inform both Nerdanel's parents and High King Finwë of the impending birth.
After the midwives had arrived and cloistered themselves with Nerdanel in her chamber, Fëanáro had vanished to his forge, making it clear to his sons that there would be no lessons that day. Ordinarily, they would have been overjoyed at the prospect of a day to themselves, but none of them thought of playing today. Instead, they sat in the drawing room, bickering idly so that they would not have to concentrate on the cries of pain that emanated from their mother's chamber.
Curufinwë had been sitting on the floor holding his special blanket and sucking his thumb. Now he removed his thumb from his mouth and glanced around at his brothers, an expression of growing distress on his face. "Where is Father?" he whined. "I want Father."
Maitimo sighed. "Father is in his forge, Curufinwë. He will come when he is finished there."
"I want him now!" Curufinwë scrambled to his feet and tugged at Tyelkormo's shirt. "Take me to the forge, Tyelko. I want Father."
"No," Tyelkormo said. "Were you not listening to Maitimo? Father is busy right now. He would be very angry and yell at you if you interrupted him. You will just have to make do with us." He reached over to pick Curufinwë up, but Curufinwë jerked away from him and sat down on the floor again, just out of arm's reach of his brothers.
"What is Father doing in the forge?" Carnistir asked. "It does not seem right that he should be there as if it were everyday. Mother is having a baby."
"That is why he is in the forge," Macalaurë said. "He is making something for Mother."
"What is he making?"
Macalaurë shrugged. "I do not know. A piece of jewelry. I think he has done that each time Mother had one of us."
"Perhaps it is a reward for giving birth," Macalaurë suggested. A series of short, sharp cries issued from the corridor, and the boys were silent for a few moments. Carnistir's lower lip trembled, and he screwed up his face to prevent his tears from falling.
"It is not fair," he said. "Father can make jewelry any time. Mother is having the baby right now, and she is frightened, and she wants him. He should go and hold her hand."
"The midwives would not permit it," Maitimo said. "I think that it is far better for Father to have something to occupy him. He is not good at sitting still and waiting."
"I am not good at waiting, either!" Curufinwë declared. "I want the baby to hurry up so that Mother will not cry any more. It is scary when Mother cries." He clutched his blanket, and stuck out his lower lip. He did not protest when Macalaurë laughed and lifted him onto his lap.
"Poor Curufinwë," Macalaurë said. "You are the youngest, and you have never been through this waiting before. Do not worry. It will be over eventually, and then there will be a new baby in the family."
At that, Curufinwë broke down and howled. "It is not fair," he sobbed. "I do not want a new baby! Mother does not need a new baby. She already has me! She told me that I am her baby!"
The others looked at each other with varying degrees of comprehension and amusement. Macalaurë smiled. "It is too late for regrets now," he said. "Mother will have that baby whether you will or no. But would you not like to be someone's big brother, just like the rest of us?"
Curufinwë sniffled a little as he considered the question. "A big brother like Tyelko and Carni?"
Macalaurë nodded. "And me and Maitimo as well. We all of us had to give up being the baby so we could be big brothers."
"I gave up my status four times, myself," Maitimo put in. "There is much to like about being a big brother, Curufinwë. You will be able to teach the baby new things."
"And Mother and Father will treat you more grown-up," Tyelkormo said.
"And you can play with the baby, too!" Carnistir added. "Not right away, but if you are good, Mother will let you hold him."
"Or her," Macalaurë said.
Curufinwë hugged his blanket and leaned against Macalaurë's chest as he considered everything his brothers had told him. "Will Macalaurë still sing to me?" he asked. "Even if I am not the baby any more?"
"Of course I will sing to you," Macalaurë laughed. "If you like, I will sing you something right now. Anything you want to hear."
Maitimo groaned and dropped his head into his hands. Carnistir looked terrified. Tyelkormo jumped up from his seat and whirled to face Macalaurë. "You would not!" he cried. "You know what he wants to hear!"
"I do," Macalaurë said calmly. "And if that is what Curufinwë wants, then I will sing it for him. What do you want to hear, Curufinwë?"
Curufinwë's face split into a wide grin. "Sing 'Whoop whoop whoop!'" he demanded.
"Not that one," Tyelkormo begged. "Anything but that one."
"That is what he asked for, and that is what I will sing," Macalaurë said. "You do not have to listen. You can go play somewhere else. Anyway, I do not understand why you dislike that song so much. It is about hunting after all."
"It is a silly song," Tyelkormo grumbled, but he did not move from the room.
Macalaurë smiled, bounced Curufinwë on his knees, and began to sing. It was a song he had made up himself, about a village's hunt for a clever fox that had broken into poultry pens and stolen various small objects from people's houses. It had a light, skipping refrain that described the chase in a long rush of nonsense words. Curufinwë loved the song, and little Carnistir enjoyed trying to sing along with the refrain. Maitimo and Tyelkormo found the song irritating, although Maitimo was less likely than Tyelkormo to leap on Macalaurë's back and wrestle with him to make him stop singing it.
The present performance was special, however, and Macalaurë knew that none of his brothers would try to fight him as he sang. He took advantage of the day's truce to improvise several new verses. Curufinwë crowed with delight at each one. Tyelkormo stuffed his fingers in his ears, and Maitimo looked more pained each time Macalaurë sang the refrain.
"With a whoop whoop whoop and a heigh-ho, along the narrow stretch," Macalaurë sang. Suddenly, Maitimo kicked his leg. Macalaurë stopped singing and was about to complain, but he heard the footsteps on the stairs and fell silent.
All the boys sat up straighter and turned to the doorway in time to see their father enter. Fëanáro's shirt was filthy and stained with sweat, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were hollow. He held a small pouch in one hand. He surveyed the five upturned faces blankly.
"Father?" Maitimo asked.
Fëanáro seemed to come back to himself. He blinked, and the old spark was back behind his eyes. He gave a hollow little laugh and flung himself into his favorite chair. "What are you all doing in here?" he asked, with a lightness that seemed forced. "I would have thought to find you running wild in the gardens, since I have released you from lessons today."
"It did not seem right to spend the day playing," Maitimo said.
"We were scared for Mother," Carnistir said. One by one, the others nodded their agreement. Maitimo remained still, and Fëanáro turned to him.
"What about you, my brave one? Were you also frightened for your mother?"
Maitimo blushed, the color in his cheeks making his red hair seem even more fiery than usual. "Yes," he admitted.
Fëanáro nodded. "I fear for her, too."
"You, Father? You are never afraid of anything."
"Do you really think so?" Fëanáro's mouth twisted in amusement. "I will have to tell you my secret, then. Gather around, all of you." He reached over and tugged at Maitimo's wrist. Maitimo followed the tug and sat on the floor, leaning against his father's leg. Carnistir scrambled into Fëanáro's lap, and Tyelkormo perched on the arm of the chair. Macalaurë, his lap still full of Curufinwë, compromised by wiggling his chair a little closer to Fëanáro's. Fëanáro stroked Maitimo's hair and looked at his children gathered around him.
"I have never been more terrified in my life than when Maitimo was born," he said. "And since then, there have been only four times in my life when I have felt terror equal to that moment."
"Those were the times when the rest of us were born, right?" Tyelkormo asked.
Macalaurë swallowed. "Is it because of what happened to Grandmother?"
Maitimo bit his lip and looked stricken. Fëanáro nodded. "That is always in the back of my mind while your mother is giving birth."
"What happened to Grandmother?" Curufinwë asked. "She is at the palace where Grandfather lives."
The older boys shifted uncomfortably. Fëanáro smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Grandfather's wife is not your grandmother, Curufinwë," he said. Curufinwë looked confused, so Fëanáro elaborated. "The Lady Indis is not my mother. She married my father when I was just a little older than Tyelkormo is now."
"Where is your mother?"
Fëanáro sighed, and glanced down the corridor to the room where Nerdanel was. "She died. After I was born, she was very tired, and did not recover her strength. She traveled to the gardens of Lórien to sleep, and she never awoke. Much later, my father married Lady Indis, and she bore him your uncles."
"Are you afraid that Mother will go to sleep and never wake up?" Carnistir asked.
Maitimo's face twisted, and he let out a cry that was half a sob and swatted at Carnistir. "Be quiet!" he cried. "Do not speak of such things! You will. . . you will frighten Curufinwë."
"Maitimo!" Fëanáro wrapped one arm protectively around Carnistir and pinned Maitimo's hands with the other. Maitimo choked, and two large tears slid down his face. The others were silent, awed as much by Maitimo's loss of control as by Fëanáro's story. Fëanáro released Maitimo's hands, but the expected scolding did not come. Instead, he brushed awkwardly at Maitimo's tears.
"We all fear for your mother. You need not be ashamed of showing your fear openly."
Maitimo, even though he was nearly grown, buried his face in Fëanáro's leg. He did not make a sound, but he trembled and shuddered, and the others knew that he was weeping. Fëanáro rubbed his shoulders and stroked his hair. No one spoke.
Behind the door at the end of the corridor, Nerdanel let out a long, wailing cry. Maitimo jerked his head up, his face red and wet. Macalaurë clutched Curufinwë close and dived from his chair to sit on the floor near Fëanáro's other leg. Tyelkormo flinched, and Carnistir threw his arms around Fëanáro's neck. Fëanáro turned pale and patted Carnistir's back.
"Never again," he murmured. "I will sire no more children. I have not the heart to make any of you endure this waiting again. Six children is enough for anyone."
"I will like six," Macalaurë offered in a shaky voice. "Six of us will fit nicely around the dinner table with you and Mother."
"I am glad that my plan meets with your approval, Macalaurë," Fëanáro said.
They sat in silence for a while after that. No more noise came from the bedchamber. It seemed as though time itself was standing still, waiting.
The quiet step of the assistant midwife in the corridor startled them all. "My Lord Fëanáro," she said, "please come with me." Her face was clouded with tension, and she did not seem to notice any of the boys. Fëanáro took a deep breath and slowly disentangled himself from his knot of children. Curufinwë whimpered and clutched at his ankles.
"It will be all right," Fëanáro said. "I will let you know what has happened as soon as I am able." He flashed a brave smile at them and followed the assistant midwife down the corridor. The boys watched him go.
"Perhaps Mother really did burst," Carnistir said. Maitimo slumped against the chair and hid his face.
As soon as Fëanáro stepped into the bedchamber, he knew that something was amiss. After the other births, he had always entered the room to see Nerdanel neatly tucked into bed, lying against a stack of pillows, looking weary but immensely proud of herself and eager to show off the new baby. This time, Nerdanel hung naked, limp and exhausted, in the arms of the chief midwife. She did not look up when Fëanáro entered, but writhed and moaned. The assistant midwife hurriedly thrust a small, squirming bundle into Fëanáro's arms.
"May I present your son, my Lord," she said quickly, then turned back to Nerdanel.
Fëanáro pulled back the blanket and beheld not the oversized child the family had anticipated, but the tiniest baby he had ever seen. The little boy was wrinkled and purple, and had a tuft of hair that was such a bright red that Fëanáro could make out its color even though it was still damp from the first bath.
"Are you my son?" he asked, jiggling the baby nervously. "You are the smallest Finwë of all. Your brothers were giants compared to you." He tucked the baby more securely into the crook of his arm and turned his attention back to Nerdanel.
"What is wrong with her?" he demanded. "The baby is born. Why is she still in pain?"
"That is what we are trying to determine, my Lord," the midwife snapped. "If my Lord would hold his son and keep out of the way, we may yet discover what afflicts my Lady."
Fëanáro retreated to a corner and cradled the baby against his chest. The baby snuggled close, seeking the heat of his father's body, and Fëanáro wrapped the blanket around him. It had been some time since he had held a newborn, but he found the old skill returning to his hands. He could do this, he told himself desperately. Even if. . . even if the worst should happen, he would be able to care for this child on his own, if need be. He squeezed his eyes shut and wondered if his own father had felt this way.
Nerdanel let out a groan that seemed to come from deep within her still-swollen belly, then began to pant. The midwives looked at each other in surprise. "My Lady?" the chief midwife asked. "What is happening to you now?"
Fëanáro watched in astonishment as Nerdanel's belly rippled. The assistant midwife probed gently with her fingers and turned to stare wide-eyed at the chief midwife. "I feel hair," she said. "And a little head. There is another baby inside!"
"Twins?" Fëanáro gasped, not sure that he had understood correctly. He knew that sheep and cattle and horses sometimes produced twins, but he had never heard of an Elf woman bearing more than one child at a time. He also knew that when such animals had twins, the babies were small and weak, and one would often die. He looked down at the baby in his arms and wondered if it was as strong as it appeared.
"Twins," the chief midwife agreed. "And it appears that the second one is well on its way. Gather your courage, Lady Nerdanel, and lean on us. Your labor is not yet at an end. You must push once more."
Nerdanel took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and pushed. Fëanáro stared, astonished, at a sight he had never seen before. For the first time, he would witness the birth of one of his children. His legs shook, and his stomach churned. Barely remembering not to drop the child he held, Fëanáro sank into an armchair in the corner and tried to prepare himself to see the second, unexpected birth.

This 2015 Ford Mustang GT350 Rendering Paints a Pretty Picture of Future Ford Performance
Although Ford Motor Company hasn't had much to say about the future of the SVT/Shelby Mustang lineup, it is widely believed that the evolutionary "replacement" to the 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 will be the 2015/2016 Ford Mustang GT350. This belief is supposed by internal Ford computer programs that list the GT350 as an upcoming model so while Ford hasn't stated that there is a GT350 coming – you have to wonder why else they would have that name in their computer system if there wasn't something on the way.
In any case, a friend of mine emailed me the rendering shown above of the 2015 Ford Mustang GT350 sitting in front of the Hollywood Chinese Theater and while I don't know the origin of this rendering, the watermark indicates that it was done by Matt HIlburn of Hilburn Automotive. I was unable to locate this rendering on his website but that is his watermark and with his history of great looking Mustang renders, I would believe that this is his handy work. You can click here to check out some of Matt Hilburn's other work on his website.
Hilburn has taken the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and add a huge chin spoiler to the standard GT front fascia and after removing the running pony from the grille, a Cobra logo appears to be located on the passenger's side of the GT-styled grille. This rendering also has the Mustang GT350 wearing a vented hood that is similar in style to what is featured on the current Shelby GT500 Mustang. Along the sides, this GT350 Mustang wears additional vents located right before the front wheels with another Cobra badge, a more pronounced lower side skirt and a set of GT350 stripes that are reminiscent of the first generation Shelby Mustangs. This GT350 also sports a set of large SVT wheels and an imagined suspension change that has the body sitting tightly around those huge wheels. Finally, Hilburn added a set of rear quarter window louvers that also pay tribute to the glory days of the American muscle car and while there is no rear image of the rendering – it looks like this car may also feature a subtle, low profile rear spoiler that is also borrowed from the old school Shelby Mustangs.

In addition to traditional Western forms of veterinary medicine, Intermountain Pet Hospital is pleased to offer holistic options to pet owners in the Boise area. With veterinary acupuncture, we can effectively treat a wide variety of conditions, including:
Acupuncture is founded on the concept of viewing the body as a system with a natural flow of electrical energy. By inserting hair-thin needles under the skin, we stimulate your pet's nervous system and cause the underlying muscles to activate. In turn, this causes pain-blocking chemicals to be released, which helps the body heal.
We perform our acupuncture sessions in a room designed to keep your pets calm and comfortable. Since the needles are so thin, animals can barely feel them go in. Sessions last 30-60 minutes. The number of visits can vary depending on the condition being treated.
Veterinary acupuncture and its benefits have been the subject of many studies. For more information, visit these websites:

THIS fox cub escaped death twice after getting its head stuck inside a tin
When wildlife vets attempted a rescue, it almost ran straight off a 30 foot
drop, nearly taking its rescuer down with it.
Concerned members of the public had spotted the little creature in great
distress as it blindly wandered around a garden in Leatherhead, Surrey last
The rescue team from the Leatherhead's Wildlife Aid Foundation nearly came a
cropper after chasing him around the side of a house without realising a
huge drop lay in wait on the other side.
Dedicated Lucy Kells who recently won national Vet Nurse of the
Year had been trying to head off the fleeing cub around the
building when her colleague Simon Cowell came upon the dramatic scene.
He said: "The next thing I saw Lucy lying flat out, with one arm around the
branch of a bush, and leaning over a thin wire fence that looked as if it
was about to give way.
"Lucy is absolutely terrified of heights but she had been so focused on saving
the fox cub that she had not even noticed that there was a sheer drop.
"She had got hold of the cub with one hand and the branch with the other.
Luckily I was in the nick of time to grab both Lucy and the cub and pull
them back to safety."
The cub is now resting up at the Leatherhead wildlife hospital where it has
plenty of unlucky animals to keep him company.
A second fox was brought in to the wildlife hospital the next day after
becoming caught in an industrial strength plastic sheeting which was cutting
in to his body.
Mr Cowell urges the public to remember the rescues carry a serious message: "Whatever
you feel about foxes, nobody could possibly want any animal to suffer such a
horrible and prolonged death. So remember. Litter can be a killer."

Vol. 150 No. 199 Serving New Braunfels and Comal County since 1852 $1.00 Hispanic chamber begins rebuilding MARTIN MALACARA/Herald-Zeitung Area Hispanic residents met Wednesday at Librado's Restaurant to begin rebuilding the Greater Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Braunfels. Pictured (left to right) are Mike Cruz, Carlos Mendoza, Daniel Ortega, Barbara Solvin, Samuel Guzman, David Martinez and Lee Rodriguez. By Martin Malacara Staff Writer Hispanic New Braunfels residents want to add more diversity to the economy and culture of the city. And they want to accomplish this by rebuilding the Greater Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Braunfels. David Martinez, of Martinez Entertainment and Promotions, is spearheading the drive to bring the chamber to the forefront of the community. "We're here to work with all organizations. It's a positive start," Martinez said. He emphasized the chamber's goals are to bring more cultural events to the community, initiate programs to help small business and implement programs for at-risk youth. Martinez held the chamber's first rebuilding meeting Wednesday to enlist support for the Hispanic chamber. Martinez brings his experience with the Seguin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to this chamber and hopes to make it a success. Samuel Guzman, president and CEO of the Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce, said when word gets out about the formation of a Hispanic chamber, red flags tend to go up. "People always ask why. The answer is why not," Guzman said. Guzman's organization "promotes the growth, development and success of local Hispanic chambers of commerce and serves as the leading advocate of Hispanic business in Tbxas," according to the group's Web site.

T h e r. I BLADES Blades, who Eve in Houston, had come to the area to go tubing. After they fought at Camp Beans on the Guadalupe River, he holed up in a hotel room for six days, nursing his anger, thinking about his life and watching old 1970s sitcoms. Then on Friday, he saw his photograph on the front page of the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung and decided he had best call home. Thursday afternoon, Becky Blades reported her husband missing to the Comal County Sheriff's Office and was told by Detective Jim Rose that she should go talk to the newspaper. She did, and the story that she was looking for her husband appeared on page one. Friday afternoon, her tele phone began ringing at about 2 p.m. with calls from folks in New Braunfels who believed they had seen him. One woman had talked to him about one of his tattoos at a local convenience store. She also called Rose. The others said where they thought they had seen him and offered what comfort they could. "I probably got five calls in the next two hours," Becky said. Then, the phone rang again, and it was the best news of all. "He called and said. 'My picture's on the front page.' I said, 'you're not dead!' "He said, 'why would you ever think like that? I'm a grown man. I can look after myself,'" Becky recounted Saturday afternoon. 'I told him, 'you could have just picked up the phone, said I'm all right. I'm mad. I'll talk to you later and not put eveiybody through this.*' She said her husband told her he had been angry when he left that Saturday and that he needed time to be by himself and think through it.

City council to take up Camp Comal discussions By Amy Clarkson Staff Writer The future of Camp Comal might be determined soon. New Braunfels City Council plans to set a date at its July 9 meeting for a workshop for the city and New Braunfels Utilities to hammer out details of an agreement. The two groups were unable to decide on the fate of the land — site a new treatment plant or better park — until recently. The 44 acres on the Guadalupe River has been the site of a tug-of-war between New Braunfels Utilities and the city's parks and recreation board. NBU bought the land in 1969 and plans to use it for future expansion of its wastewater treatment facilities. The parks board wants it dedicated as park lands to protect the six baseball fields now at Camp Comal. City Manager Mike Shands said he talked with the city's attorney and planned to put the issue on the council's next agenda. "I think they've agreed on what to do," he said. "But the council needs to decide some of the details. How much land do they need? Where should it be located? And how much is the city willing to pay for the land?" Shands said the groups needed to reach a decision, so the city could look into acquiring land for NBU or new land to replace Camp Comal's baseball fields.

Mark Reynolds, who operated the Comal County Sheriff's Office river command post Saturday, reported that 38 deputies and another dozen river security team members worked on the Guadalupe River Saturday, which is about the manpower level set for a strong weekend. Next Saturday, he said there would be more deputies on the river. "It was going to be a toss up to see which weekend was the big one," Reynolds said, with the Fourth of July coming at mid-week. "It's hard to say if next weekend will be busier, with the fourth landing on Wednesday," he said. "If it were a Monday or Tuesday, it could make for a long weekend. But with Wednesday, its hard to go to your boss and ask for a five-day weekend." Either way, Reynolds said, deputies would be prepared for whoever shows up. New Braunfels Police Sgt. John McEchem said business was picking up late Saturday afternoon on the rivers within the city limits.

Carne Ross worked in the British Foreign Office and United Nations as a diplomat for over 15 years serving in various positions including first secretary in Middle East affairs for the United Kingdom's UN Security Council delegation. In that position from 1998-2001, Ross' work included the drafting and negotiation of several Security Council resolutions including SCR 1284 which rewrote the Council's Iraq policy and established UNMOVIC, the weapons inspection body.
Ross went on to serve as Strategic Coordinator for the UN in Kosovo (UNMIK) where he devised and led a joint UN and government policy to implement a series of standards to improve governance, the rule of law and human rights protection, and advised the Secretary-General's Special Representative on diplomatic and political tactics.
In 2004, Ross left the British diplomatic corp to found Independent Diplomat, a nonprofit that offers freelance diplomatic representation to small, developing, and yet-unrecognized nations. That year, the group advised the Kosovars in their quest for recognition as a nation and has since gone on to assist clients including Croatia, The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, and NGO's such as Human Rights First and the World Wildlife Fund.

The Guardian Film Awards were launched last week. Their aim: to act as an antidote to the usual slate of ceremonies. Their method: to cook up slightly different categories, and to involve readers in the voting.
A brief recap, for those who missed last week's story. We've launched longlists of 10 nominees in each category. We want you to vote for your favourite in each - and the top five reader choices will form our shortlist. Voting ends at noon GMT on 16 February and we'll reveal the shortlists three days later.
The top reader choice in each category will also count for the casting vote when the judges (Claudia Winkleman and Adam Curtis, plus Alan Rusbridger, Peter Bradshaw, Xan Brooks and me) confer towards the end of February. The winners will then be revealed at a ceremony on 6 March.
There's also a couple of categories voted solely by readers - best cinema and best so-bad-it's-good film - and one (lifetime achievement) that's just down to the judges. Remember, too: you can vote wherever you are in the world, though you're only eligible for one of the (pretty snazzy) prizes if you live in the UK.
For the next 12 days, we'll be breaking down each of the categories. For starters: best picture. This is one of the most apparently straightforward, but there is a little spin, for our best film award is open to fact, fiction and foreign language. This has resulted in a bit of a logjam of quality - but as first world problems go, we'll take it.
So, let's inspect the contenders, then consider key films that didn't make the cut. Do let us know your thoughts, gripes and suggestions below. As discussed in the comment thread beneath Friday's news story, this is our first time trying this, and we're eager for your feedback.
The Great Beauty
Peter Bradshaw and Xan Brooks's film of 2013, Paolo Sorrentino's Fellini-riffing epic starring Toni Servillo as a Rome socialite giddy with la dolce vita missed out on the Palme d'Or could prove victorious at the world's most prestigious awards ceremony (and the Oscars).
• Full coverage
The Act of Killing
This was the top-ranked film of last year as voted by all the Guardian film team (adding Andrew Pulver, Henry Barnes and me into the mix). Joshua Oppenheimer's ground-breaking documentary about the lack of remorse felt by members of the Indonesian death squads of the 1960s - who are encouraged to re-enact their crimes - is a front-runner for this year's documentary Oscar and has been championed by us for a year and a half.
• Full coverage
The Selfish Giant
Clio Barnard's triumphant followup to The Arbor is a Sheffield-set tale of young friendship, scrap metal and horse love that references Oscar Wilde and positions Barnard as the next Ken Loach.
• Full coverage
Blue is the Warmest Colour
A big favourite in the readers' poll of last year, this Palme d'Or-winning romance has been a hot potato in every sense (well, almost), from first premiere to post-release fallout.
• Full coverage
The runaway victor amongst readers last year was Alfonso Cuaron's groundbreaking space thriller (also picked by Peter Bradshaw as his third favourite of the year).
• Full coverage
12 Years a Slave
It might not be British by funding, but we're whole-heartedly appropriating Steve McQueen's masterpiece as our own. Still odds on at the Oscars, though its momentum has wobbled slightly since last September's premiere.
• Full coverage
I Wish
Here's one of Xan Brooks's particular picks from last year: a low-key domestic drama from Kore-eda Hirokazu about divorce and its consequences on the children involved. Number nine on our films of 2013 poll.
• Full coverage
Behind the Candelabra
Studio anxiety over Steven Soderbergh's Liberace biopic being "too gay" led this to have an HBO premiere in the US. We made it our joint third film of the year - it had theatrical release in the UK - and nominated it in five categories, including best picture.
• Full coverage
Another Xan Brooks cheerleading special, this. Though the first ever film made by a woman in Saudi Arabia actually took four nominations in our film awards, so you can guess that the rest of us loved it too.
• Full coverage
Before Midnight
Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke are in the news today with a five star review at Sundance of their new film, Boyhood. This time last year, there was a similarly ecstatic reaction in Park City for this, the third in their Jesse and Celine trilogy.
• Full coverage
That completes the longlist of 10, which we need you to whittle down to half the size. But what's missing from the list? Who was robbed and why? Here's five of the unlucky few that coulda been contenders
1) American Hustle
It's got verve, it's got a great vibe, top performances and cracking dialogue. But the feeling, ultimately, was that these elements didn't quite cohere to make a masterpiece. Sorry, David O Russell - you'll have to make do with being the joint Oscars frontrunner.
• Full coverage
2) Inside Llewyn Davis
The Coen brothers' film is out in the UK this Friday, and it gets recognition in our best line of dialogue and best scene categories. But, similarly, the sense was that - excellent movie though it is - it didn't linger with us in the way we hoped.
• Full coverage
3) Nebraska
It pains me, this omission. But despite Bruce Dern's crackerjack performance, not enough of my colleagues agreed that Alexander Payne's black and white road trip matched its central turn.
• Full coverage
4) Her
Spike Jonze's computer love story also crops up in a lot in other categories, but a certain narrative stretchiness towards the end cost it a best picture nod. Still, this is a film almost more endearing for its imperfection.
• Full coverage
5) Blue Jasmine
Woody's actual, proper, really-we're-not-kidding-this-time return to form was a brilliant piece of cinema. But so much was down to Cate Blanchett; and those little niggles we have with some aspects of the plot and characterisation just won't go away.
• Full coverage
Chip into the comments to tell us where we were wrong (or, even, right). Check back tomorrow when we'll be running through the contenders for best actor. And put your money where your mouth is and vote here.

Five hundred years ago, Johannes Gutenberg discovered the art of libriomancy, allowing him to reach into books to create things from their pages. Gutenberg's power brought him many enemies, and some of those enemies have waited centuries for revenge. Revenge which begins with the brutal slaughter of a wendigo in the northern Michigan town of Tamarack, a long-established werewolf territory. Libriomancer Isaac Vainio is part of Die Zwelf Portenr̆e, better known as the Porters, the organization founded by Gutenberg to protect the world from magical threats. Isaac is called in to investigate the killing, along with Porter psychiatrist Nidhi Shah and his dryad bodyguard and lover, Lena Greenwood. Born decades ago from the pages of a pulp fantasy novel, Lena was created to be the ultimate fantasy woman, strong and deadly, but shaped by the needs and desires of her companions. Her powers are unique, and Gutenberg's enemies hope to use those powers for themselves. But their plan could unleash a far darker evil ...

Comments about Pulaski Morocco King Bed - Pecan:
This king bed is beautiful I like everything about it. My only problem was my bedroom was to small to get the dresser and mirror to. I had to settle for the chest.it looks just like the pictures they have here. One other thing the installers didn't make sure the stews was tight because they didn't fit in wood. They was gone and I had to find my pea screws in my home to fit. So make sure every thing is tight.

Comments about Pulaski Morocco King Bed - Pecan:
After reading the previous reviews I was sold. I got my bedroom set yesterday and my room looks like it is in a castle. Compared to the other stores, this bed came out to be the best choice I made. I am very, very pleased with my bedreoom set. The quality, style, solid/sturdy structure is really great. Three months ago when someone told me about American Signature Furniture, I was skeptical because I had never heard about them before. Now I am sorry I did not purchase my other furniture from this company. Excellent bed and color too.

Comments about Pulaski Morocco King Bed - Pecan:
This bed is absolutely beautiful in more ways than one. We did a lot of shopping around for the type of bed we wanted and couldn't believe that we found it at Value City Furniture. The cost comparison to other stores and their merchandise was no match to other popular stores. The quality, style, solid/sturdy structure is great, and the price was awesome for a king size bed. We would highly recommend this bed to others. It has a look of luxury and a sturdiness that will last throughout the years, transforms the look of your room, plus, it will make you feel like you spent a fortune when you didn't. We would highly recommend this bed!

Inconel Wire Mesh Screen provides excellent resistance to the many corrosive environments such as acids, alkalies, oxidizing and reducing conditions. It is utilized in the elevated temperature operations.
The Inconel Wire Mesh Screen offers large fatigue strength at the room temperature to the hot regions. It is constructed to get the high creep rupturing strength at the high temperature limits. The solution annealing is recommended to obtain the grain growth for high creeping resistance at the grand temperature levels. The minor modification in the composition leads to grain development and enhances the stress rupturing features.
Properties of Inconel Wire Mesh Screen:
1. Intense mechanical strength: tensile strength, fatigue strength and creep-rupturing
2. Good weldable character restricts post weld age cracking.
3. Oxidation resistance at the numerous temperatures limits
4. Remarkable resistance to corrosion.

My dad and I both used the 5.11 holster shirt with another tshirt over top, it is slower drawing, but only takes one hand with practice. Also my dad either puts his Jframe, Bersa .380, or 1911 officers model. Though honestly anything bigger like say any full size is not gonna work.
I know not what this "overkill" means.

If loose gun laws are good for criminals why do criminals support gun control?
I have a Kramer shirt. It does have it's place where very deep concealment is the issue, not fast draw. When I wear it I either carry my Taurus PT111 or 605. Both are light and small.
Agreed with Saber's agreeance.
A holster shirt is IMHO an advanced carry method and tool.
I have had one for several years and found it to be very handy for _dep_ concealment purposes.
I would not though and do not use it with any degree of regularity.
Run a search on this subject as there are many posts across multiple threads by formerly active member 'FedwifaSgi' who did use this as daily wear per his specific job detail. He was a huge proponent of the technology though as by a singular mfr., the same who I used and as I understand is no longer in business/taking orders.

When ever I go to my sisters for dinner it's unavoidable that I will get ambushed by my nephews. This ends in a 30 minute wrestling match with me begging for mercy if they all jump in. I wonder if that shirt would be a good carry option for these situations?

A gun in the hand is a million times more valuable than a cop on the phone!
FL Concealed Weapon or Firearm Program
Years ago, I was an Engineer for a TV station. Everyone got "evening"(3P-11:30P) "night" 10:30P to7A shifts, in turn. The station was located in a bad neighborhood. (They moved into a much better one just after I left them). One of our guys got knifed at the front door one night.
I carried a J frame into and out of the building every time I went there, even during the day. I bought a corderoy sport coat at a thrift store, and sewed a holster on the inside of the left side lower area, just above where the belt would be. Very comfortable.
The station management would get upset if they knew I had it, so as I came in, I would put the coat with gun in it, in my locker. I did not tell any others I was packing, although I knew some others were. Yes, I am fully aware they could legally fire me for this, but I made a decision about keeping on breathing instead.
I think they work fine in some circumstances... under a t-shirt in summer and wearing shorts for example. They work better on lighter / smaller guns, but will work on large guns as well. Make sure you get a tight fit so it will hold up the gun's weight. I don't even feel the gun there when I wear mine. I see it best as a spot for a back up gun.
I have several of these from a few different makers, and they definately have their place. Also, as others have stated, if you're planning on carrying a large weapon (I carry a Beretta 92FS in mine), you'd best purchase the shirt a size smaller than you normally wear to prevent it from beating up the side of your ribs.
I do a lot of bicycling and can't really conceal much of anything inside or outside of a waistband, so they really come in handy at these times.
Others have mentioned difficulty drawing from a buttoned shirt and having put velcro on them in place of buttons. That's a great idea, but to avoid having to modify my existing shirts, I bought several 5.11 "covert casual RAPIDraw" shirts that have fake buttons and just snap together. You can draw from those reasonably quickly. Still not as fast as say OWB, but pretty good.
There's a pretty good video on the ABH site that illustrates drawing from a holster-shirt while wearing *something similar* to one of the 5.11 shirts: http://abetterholster.com/demo.wmv

I don't think leaving my gun in the car is a good option.
I think carrying when I can is a good option. I see nothing wrong with carrying at my sisters even though
I know I'll end up rough housing with my nephews. As long as there is no round in the chamber.
So you personally would leave your gun in the car? I don't recommend that. Its illogical to try and guess when you might need to carry since criminals don't make appointments.
I have a 5.11 Tactical Tshirt as well and it's a viable option under some circumstances but I don't believe it would work very well with a G26. I carry my S&W Airweight and a Speed Strip on the other side on occasion and it disappears pretty well as long as my dress shirt or golf shirt isn't too tight.
My preferred deep conceal option is the Smart Carry with the snubby and the Speed Strip. For my G26 or G27 I like the appendix carry Galco tuckable in horsehide (which can work a couple ways) or my Inside Armor kydex at 3:30 strong side. The kydex takes some adjustment to find a 'sweet spot' and maybe a perfect sweet spot will never be found, but I'm also thinking my body will adjust after more time carrying this way. It is by far the preferred location for ease of draw with an untucked shirt, sweat shirt, fleece or Hawaiian shirt.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy - Tom Watts
I've used the Kramer shirt. Got made by a hug.
Much prefer the Smartcarry for deeper concealment, or a smaller pocket gun.
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.

A Cynical LonerMature
I feel as though KoiBane-sensei has gotten some sort of strange, new impression about me. It'll be troublesome if he starts bugging me about what I'm doing, but for now, I'll ignore him at any moment he questions me. As I walk through the hallways and up towards the stairs to the 2nd floor I notice the clock on the stair's wall. It seems it is already 6pm, the school will be closing soon. I need to hurry before the guard closes the school gates on me. I begin to rush up the stairs to the 2nd floor.
Arriving atop the 2nd floor I head straight to the library first to grab my bag, I still had the library key inside my pocket. Taking out the library key from my pocket I stick it inside the lock to the library door. Unlocking the door, I instantly spring myself towards the back of the counter and grab my bag which had been sitting behind the counter. I take out my earphones from my ears and take the book I had left on the counter and stuffed them into my bag. I bring my bag over my shoulder and carry it out with me making sure to lock the library door as I go out.
Locking the library's door, I turn myself towards the direction of the boy's bathroom and arrive at the storage closet's door. I pull out the key that KoiBane-sensei had handed to me and put it into the closet door's lock. As I turned the key around in the lock I could hear the sound of the door clicking to unlock. After hearing the click I slowly open the door and inside I see the one thing I was hoping it wasn't.
It was Shina Hayashi.
I stared at her as she was huddled in the middle of the storage closet with her head down on her knees hugging them together with her hands. Her black hair trailed across her face so I couldn't see her expression and the loose strands fell to the floor, blanketing the floor in near black. My heart began to pick up pace again as I was hoping that what those girls had said before wasn't what I was thinking.
I stood in front of her silent and said nothing. As if finally noticing me, she lifted her head up from her knees, tears were in her eyes it was different to what I was expecting. Her eyes were red from crying, but her they were still beautiful. She stared straight into my eyes, I could do nothing but look at her unable to respond. I didn't know what to say for this kind of situation. How was I to respond to this?
She slowly got up from where she was sitting on the ground and as she did she patted her butt and back from dust. After patting herself down she looked at me again and then...her tears began to fall more than it had been when I looked at her face earlier. Unable to respond to the sudden downpour of her tears, I panicked inside my head but my outward appearance was one where I showed nothing but a plain stare. I could only open my mouth and mumble quietly the best words I could think of. My heart had stopped skipping in surprise and flustered flowers, instead it skipped in panic as to how to stop her tears.
"A-are you okay?" I asked.
She didn't say anything. She continued to stare at me with tears streaming down her face. I didn't know what to say so I took my hand and rubbed the back of my neck in an uncomfortable atmosphere.
She spoke, but her voice trailed off in uncertainty.
"You know, when I was trying to open the door earlier... Why didn't you say anything?" I asked rubbing the back of my head while averting my eyes to the side. I was slightly embarrassed to be concerned about someone.
"I didn't think it was necessary as the janitor would usually open the door later in the night shift..."
It was obvious now. Shina Hayashi was being bullied. It was a definite fact. She had said "usually" which meant she was always practically being locked in the closet. The three girls must've locked her in here, which was why they were looking anxiously at me. It all clicked inside my head, I could tell now. But why? Why was she being bullied? Why was such a girl who gave off the feeling of perfection being bullied?
Ah... Perhaps it was already obvious as to why. It was because she is perfect. The girls must've been been jealous of her. The envy of women, is indeed, scary.
I couldn't retort anything. For such a reason she allowed herself to be locked in a closet the whole time? Why didn't she panic? Scream? Yell? I couldn't understand it. What could her reason be for staying in the closet of her own accord? I could only stare at her in blind shock to her words. Ah...man... She is the type of girl I can't handle. The incomprehensible type.
"What about you, Yukimura-kun? What gave you the impulse to open this door?" she asked while rubbing her eyes of her tears.
"J-just an impulse, I guess."
I was lying. The truth was that the three girls that I saw as I was going to the bathroom sparked something inside of me. When the three girls had whispered the name "Shina" I did not want it to be the Shina I knew. What pushed me even further to investigate the storage closet was the fact that I heard the insulting words that were mumbled alongside Shina's name. It wasn't just curiousity, it was something else inside me. It was something known as the feeling, fury. I was angry. I didn't know why. When I heard the name "Shina" I doubted it was the Shina I started to know on our first day back from spring break. However, inside of me I kept asking, "what if it is Shina Hayashi?" It was that single question that pushed my curiosity to investigating the storage closet as it was the first clue to the mystery. It was way too obvious, as the girls were standing in front of the closet.
"You're so strange" said Shina Hayashi. She then began to giggle a little with her eyes still covered in tears.
"I-I don't want to be told that by you!"
I answered angrily hiding my embarrassment. I blushed slightly at being laughed at.
Her laugh was incredibly cute for some reason. My heart skipped a beat as she smiled while continuing to giggle at me. My face became hotter. The tears in her eyes were still there on her face. On an impulse, I reached out my hand and touched her face, wiping the tears from her eye. The moment I did such a gesture, she froze and turned to look at me, staring straight at my face. I could feel my face getting hotter and hotter as she looked at me. My eyes glowered down a little more as I wiped away her tears.
"I don't understand you. You're being bullied, yet you... Not only that, you tell me how much of a loner I am and then you leave it at just that! You didn't talk to me all day until the very end of class and the moment you do, you ask for my name! Even more each class I was in you sat next to me and even joined the Library Management Club! Just what the hell are you!" I yelled while my hands continued to rub away the leftover tears in her eyes.
I was blabbering nonsense. It was the first time this has ever happened to me. What is going on? What is this feeling? I can feel my head swirling in chaos at the thoughts that filled my head.
Why does my heart beat to her words? Her gestures? Her expressions?
What am I doing? What the hell am I saying?
Why am I angry? Why am I yelling?
This isn't like me.
By the time I realized it, I had said all that was in my head. When I finally calmed down I panicked and blushed furiously and removed my hand from touching her face. How embarrassing. My arms flailed around as I desperately jumbled my words together. What is wrong with me?
"I...this is..."
I couldn't form the words for an excuse. I had no excuse. None. Desperately I flailed my arms about and mumbled the best words I could while facing her in red embarrassment.
"I-I didn't mean to! I... I'm sorry" I said in a frustrated tone.
Shina Hayashi looked at me and faintly smiled. Her smile was beautiful but had a hint of sadness in it. She touched my hand that was flailing around and gripped it tightly in her own hands. Her hands were soft as they firmly gripped my right hand. Surprised all of my words became silent as I looked at her hold my hand.
"Thank you" she said.
My heart accelerated with just those words. I couldn't say anything. "Thank you" she had said to me. The words I couldn't understand the most. Why had she thanked me? I had done nothing to help her. I had only opened the door of the storage closet. What is there to thank me for?
After saying those words to me she gave me another smile and let go of my hand. She picked up what seemed to be her bag inside the storage closet and walked down the hallway without turning back. She continued down the hallway until she had reached the stairs and went down. I could only watch as she left with a dumbfounded expression. My heart was beating fast. I looked at my right hand and gripped it tightly.
What is this feeling?
I thought hard about the throbbing of my heart, then I remembered stories I had read before. The countless books of romance floated into my head that explained a similar sensation to what I was feeling now. It couldn't possibly be...a loner like me? A feeling unexplainable by science or books I've read fully. Is this love?
Come to think of it... I didn't get the chance to ask her the question I wanted to ask. Why did she say those words to me?
"Ah... If only I could be like that."
Shaking off my thoughts, I sighed and pulled my bag closer to my shoulder and decided to head home it was getting late and the train might be leaving soon. I walk off in the hallway and head home while thinking solely about Shina Hayashi.

Hockey Weekend Across America, a new initiative which USA Hockey is leading, will be held this weekend (Feb. 15-17) throughout the nation.
The objective of Hockey Weekend Across America is two-fold: Celebrate our game and all involved in the sport throughout the nation using all means possible. Provide opportunities for those who havent played hockey to try it, resulting ultimately in more people playing our game at all levels.
We've established a theme for each of the three days and listed are just a few ideas of programs that could be implemented.
Friday - Wear Your Jersey to School Day
Wear your favorite hockey jersey from any level (youth, high school, junior, college, pro).
Conduct hockey programming in schools (floor hockey tournaments in gym, guest speaker at school assembly or in classroom, local hockey celebrity reading in schools, etc.).
Saturday Bring A Friend To The Rink Day
Host open house to expose hockey to those who havent played (learn to skate program or similar).
Bring a friend(s) to your game.
Bring a friend(s) to a high school, junior, college or professional game who hasnt ever had a chance to attend.
Sunday Celebrate Local Hockey Heroes Day
Honor your favorite coach, timekeeper, official, player, etc., through a special recognition event, by way of a media story or through a feature on your website (or all of the above!).
Conduct a fund-raising event in which your local hockey heroes are honored.
Host an open house at which some of your local hockey heroes address attendees and talk of the benefits of participating in hockey.
Hockey fans are encouraged to visit HockeyWeekendAcrossAmerica.com often for updates on happenings related to the event. You can register your events online at Hockey Weekend Across America Events and prizes will be given away each day of the Hockey Weekend Across America celebration at Hockey Weekend Across America Contests and Prizes.
In Michigan, events being held are the "Hockey has Heart" campaign and "Hockey in the Hood", which is the first minority hockey tournament sponsored by the Detroit Hockey Association in cooperation with the National Hockey League's Diversity Task Force. The Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA), FSN Detroit, the Detroit Red Wings and the Michigan Amateur Hockey Association are teaming up to bring a coast-to-coast celebration of the sport of hockey to participants and fans across the state. Michigan has nearly 70,000 registered players, coaches and officials in addition to almost 5,000 teams registered with USA Hockey, which is the most of any state in the nation. Hockey Day in Michigan will feature contests, clinics and a pair of televised college hockey games, including Michigan State at Western Michigan and Lake Superior at Michigan, broadcast on FSN. In conjunction with HDIM, the CCHA will hold two "Have Fun, Play Hockey" Clinics at Novi Ice Arena and Suburban Ice - Macomb. These clinics give boys and girls ages 5-11 an opportunity to experience the fun of hockey for the first time at no cost. To get involved or to have your event included in the list of happenings around the state on CCHA.com, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call the CCHA Office at (248) 888-0600.
The Ferris State University men's ice hockey will be playing at home this weekend (Feb. 15-16) during the inaugural "Hockey Weekend Across America" as the Bulldogs entertain the nationally second-ranked Miami (Ohio) RedHawks in a two-game CCHA series. The puck will drop for both contests at 7:05 p.m. (EST).

Spark Plasma Sintering of Nanostructured Aluminum: Influence of Tooling Material on Microstructure

The influence of tooling material, i.e., graphite and WC-Co, on the microstructure of a spark plasma sintering (SPS) consolidated, nanostructured aluminum alloy is studied in this paper. The results show that tooling selection influences microstructure evolution, independent of process parameters. The influence of tooling on microstructure is rationalized on the basis of the following factors: heating rate, electrical current density, localized heating, and imposed pressure. A theoretic framework, based on the physical properties of graphite and WC-Co, is formulated to explain the observed behavior.

Adele may have become a colossus of the music world, sweeping all before her in terms of record sales and awards, and single-handedly propping up the beleagured industry with her record-breaking new album 25.
But now one of that album's most acclaimed tracks, "Million Years Ago", in which Adele seems to lament the ordinary life fame has taken from her, has become embroiled in a plagiarism row. Fans of the Kurdish-Turkish singer Ahmet Kaya are claiming that the tune is not a million miles away from his 1985 song "Acilara Tutunmak (Clinging to Pain)".
Social media sites in Turkey were abuzz with claims that the 27-year-old British singer had ripped off the song from Kaya, who died in November 2000.
