Online Extra: Network Finds Marketing Paradise with Lost
By Tom Lowry
Who killed Laura Palmer? Remember that burning question, the one ABC had all of America pondering endlessly 16 years ago? The network caused a sensation in 1990 when it first aired Twin Peaks, the bizarre serial drama created by David Lynch. The show was a trailblazer in keeping its audience riveted to the plot and characters well after its final scene aired every week on Thursday nights. Twin Peaks became a franchise for ABC and a brand unto itself (Twin Peaks festivals are still held today). Other television shows that have become franchises, from CSI to Law & Order, trod in Twin Peaks' footsteps.
Today networks face enormous new challenges to create similar excitement—and again ABC is blazing a trail. The loyalty to networks and their power to capture a significant share of what people watch is fading. A recent poll by Bolt Media showed that only a quarter of 16- to 34-year-olds could name all four of the Big Networks. But by taking a fresh approach using new media to create buzz and interest, ABC has managed to replicate its Twin Peaks magic with its hit show Lost, which is centered around plane crash survivors on a tropical island. It is creating a blueprint that other networks are using to think way beyond just TV. "ABC obviously does not see this as just a TV show," says Dan Hill, a new-media designer and author of the "cityofsound" blog where he frequently offers his views on TV. "[The network] sees all of media as the canvas for the show."
ABC broke new ground using a sophisticated layer of producer podcasts, fake sites, series downloads, and fan outreach to foster a digital franchise. Even before ABC first aired the show in Sept. 2004, the producers two months earlier debuted it before 3,000 mostly tech-crazed young guys at the popular annual comics convention Comic-Con in San Diego (George Lucas tested Star Wars there in 1977). By then the first fan site, www.lost-tv.com, was up and running, initiating fans to the story and characters well ahead of its first showing on TV. Before too long, fans were chattering about Lost on their own online blogs. Once the show was determined to be a hit in the first few weeks, drawing more than 15 million viewers for each episode on average, Lost's producers started their own Web site and blog, putting themselves in the vanguard of Hollywood players connecting directly with fans. "We realized what we had was three things that most shows never have collectively," says Javier Grillo-Marxuach, a former supervising producer and a writer on Lost who just left the show in May. "We had mass appeal, cult appeal, and critical appeal." And, of course, the perfect demographics—tech-savvy kids, mostly male, 16 to 34.
Lost's real breakout, though, came during last year's summer hiatus. ABC knew it had to do something to keep its audience engrossed, but it wanted to avoid hokey contests and sweepstakes. Instead, tapping into the fanatic interest in plot details that had been demonstrated online, the producers buried the Web address of the airline for the crashed plane, Oceanic Airlines, in the season finale. Viewers saw it and immediately flocked to the site created by ABC. Then the producers piled on another Web site, called "the Hanso Foundation," a mysterious organization that is an ongoing part of the plot.
In parallel, dozens and dozens of blogs and chat forums sprang up, created by fans to share theories. A Lost magazine was created and there's even a "Lostpedia," a replica of online user-generated Wikipedia, that is dedicated solely to all things Lost. ABC continued to do its part to fuel that discussion by creating podcasts that featured the producers and actors, and creating tie-ins to the show that the fans could sniff out. In one scene this year, the Hurley character is seen reading the manuscript for a book whose title is Bad Twin by Gary Troup. The book, it turns out, really exists and is available on Amazon; it was created by the show's producers and published by a division of ABC parent Walt Disney Co. (DIS ) Demand was so high for the suspense novel that it made The New York Times (NYT ) and Amazon (AMZN ) best-seller lists for fiction.
And it kept the tie-ins coming. When Disney became the first Hollywood studio to offer downloads over iTunes last October, Lost was one of the select five shows it chose to offer for sale. Since then, it has sold 3 million downloads of the show, reaping more than $6 million so far ($1.99 an episode, $34.99 for the season—25 episodes). Lost was also part of the successful experiment that ABC ran to offer free, ad-supported videos online; that streamed 11 million total videos.
As the show prepared to complete its second season with a blitz of publicity, from magazine cover stories to huge takeouts in newspapers, ABC was readying its plan for this summer. In May, ABC partnered with 19 other networks around the globe to relaunch the "Hanso Foundation" site as part of an alternative reality game called The Lost Experience. Fresh clues are served up via Web sites, voicemails, and newspaper ads, while alternative storylines are offered up with characters all its own. The actor who plays the character of Hugh McIntyre, PR person for the Hanso Foundation, appeared in late May on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live. ABC and Lost producers are tightly guarding any data related to fan response to The Lost Experience. They won't even say whether it will wrap up before the start of the third season in the fall.
The folks at ABC say their own Lost experience has taught them you can no longer think just about TV. Michael Benson, a senior vice-president for marketing at ABC Entertainment, says Lost "is like a candy store of marketing. We could have just done on-air promos and taken the occasional ad in TV Guide. But we thought, 'What about TiVo, DVDs, the iPod, and the Internet?' They are all huge opportunities to drive people back to TV."

text: SportAlonso left fuming after Rosberg manoeuvre A week after Nico Rosberg's success in China, Fernando Alonso lashes out at the driver following Bahrain GP. 22 Apr 2012 19:16 GMT | Sport, Formula One, Bahrain, China, Italy Cool customer Fernando Alonso lost his cool after Bahrain GP and ranted about Rosberg on Twitter [GALLO/GETTY] Ferrari's Fernando Alonso accused Mercedes rival Nico Rosberg of dangerous driving and warned of future mayhem after stewards refused to punish the German for two controversial moves in Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix. The Spaniard shook his fist angrily from the cockpit after Rosberg forced him off the track and onto the runoff in a duel between the two at the Sakhir circuit. "I think you are going to have fun in future races!" Fernando Alonso That move and a similar incident with McLaren's Lewis Hamilton saw Rosberg facing two stewards' enquiries but they decided to take no further action in either case after examining video evidence. Rosberg finished the race fifth, with Alonso seventh and Hamilton eighth. "I think you are going to have fun in future races! You can defend position as you want and you can overtake outside the track! Enjoy!," commented Alonso sarcastically on his Twitter page after the stewards' decision. Earlier he had criticised Rosberg, who last weekend took the first win of his F1 career at the 111th attempt. "I can only say that if, instead of such a wide run-off area there had been a wall, I'm not sure I'd be here now to talkabout it," he said. Shock deathAfter a week dominated by news coverage of clashes between riot police and anti-government protesters away from the circuit, Ferrari's day was overshadowed by tragic news from their Maranello factory in Italy. Team principal Stefano Domenicali said Matteo Vignali, an employee in the gearbox department, had suffered a heart attack and died aged 32. "Our thoughts are with his family and friends and because of this, I find it hard to comment on our actual race result," he said. "What I can say is that what has been a very tough first run of races for us has now come to an end...we managed to limit the damage at least as far as the drivers' championship is concerned." Ferrari left Bahrain fourth in the constructors' standings and with Alonso fifth overall. Almost unnoticed, the Spaniard's Brazilian team mate Felipe Massa finally scored his first points of the four-race oldcampaign after finishing ninth. "It is a performance that gives me confidence for the rest of the season," he said.Source: Reuters

Guys, Why does boys think my friend is not atractive if so wants not that pretty about her?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
Okay, this is just my personal opinion:
Your friend isn't ugly but she doesn't look like a girl I'd want to date or be physically intimate with. I like her hair but her face looks too chubby and I her glasses make her look like a boring bookworm (I love reading myself but she looks like the type of girl who later on ends up working in an archive, if you know what I mean). She might be a sweet girl and I would maybe want to have her as a best friend but... as I said, she's not really the type I'd want to be intimate with.
Also, is it just me or is your age on your profile wrong? Your friend looks more like 15 than 25...00|00|0
Yes she is 12 in 13 there is a glitch
Well then it's probably hard to judge this for me (and most people on here) anyway. I am 27 now and so I'm more than double the age she is. Of course I can try to put myself in the shoes of a 13-year old boy but it's hard.
At any rate, she shouldn't worry too much if boys don't like her. Frankly, with my life experience I can tell you that at age 11-14, everyone looks more or less ugly. It's not something to do with the person, it's just a difficult age for your body. I looked ugly when I was 12-14 and almost all the 12-14 year old kids I see on the street look ugly. It doesn't mean anything. She will change a lot until she's 18 or 19 and there's a good chance she will end up looking very pretty.
So I shouldn't help her slim her face up

I went on a date with this guy who said that his father was too cheap, or he would have bought a boat by now (we were at a lake festival and watching the boats). This is the same father who supposedly picks up the whole bill when out to dinner with a group of people on a regular basis.
To me, that sounds like an inconsistent pile of garbage.
Most Helpful Girl
Or he's smart about his money.. Maybe they don't need a boat so he's like "just because I have money doesn't mean I'm gonna drop a couple Gs on something I'm never going to use". Dude sounds spoiled.00|00|0

Ok, I have a stupid question for y'all. Do you include the wedding topper cake (the one they will eat on their anniversary) in the price of the wedding cake or do you just charge for the servings the guests will eat?
I charge for it if they're taking the gift certificate which they can use to get an anniversary cake. If they're freezing the top tier (most of mine don't) then it's free.
"Free now or free later."
you baked it, you decorated it and they will eat it or take beautiful pics of a Comp. beautiful cake that last a life time!!! Yup!!!
Well, I always advise my brides not to try to keep their "anniversary" tier. If they really want to try, I charge them for it.
I charge for all the servings in the cake.
I don't charge for the anniversary tier.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/7/2013 (1489 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I have a friend who recently sold a house on Glenway Avenue on the southern border of East St. Paul. The street is home to both ESP and Winnipeg residents, and the dividing line is clearly visible on garbage and recycling day.
All along the south side of Glenway are City of Winnipeg garbage and recycling containers while one lone East St. Paul garbage tote sat along the north side.
The city and our municipality have worked together to maintain this combined piece of property.
Long time resident Terry tells me his garbage day was yesterday and a quick check on the RM's website confirms that. Terry also tells me that the dividing line is along the ditch on the north (ESP) side of the road. That means that until he is actually in his driveway, he is in Winnipeg, and even when he looks out his front window, he's looking at Winnipeg. Terry says that he never really thinks about it and that the only thing about the south side of Glenway that he fondly thinks about was when he used to ride his dirt bike in the fields there before the city crept in.
Further up the street, I meet Merrill, who is washing a car in his driveway. His family has also lived here for 30-plus years. His children went to Emerson School, just across the street, when there were upwards of 500 students in the school. Those kids have since grown up and moved away but their parents have stayed. Merrill likes that because it makes for a quiet neighborhood.
Neither of my new acquaintances ventures into Birds Hill very often. In fact, Merrill figures the only time he heads north is when it's time to pay his taxes. Terry keeps himself busy working in the city and heading out Grand-Beach-way as often as possible, so he is not really involved in community affairs — although he did offer a satisfied grin when I mentioned that our taxes are cheaper.
There doesn't appear to be any rivalry — no Hatfields and McCoys. Just two quiet neighborhoods coexisting as one. I was really hoping for some drama.
Ah well, at least the sunset was pretty, even if it did have a hundred garbage bins in the frame.

PHILADELPHIA - Fresh off a four game sweep over the weekend, Penn looks continue its winning ways as the team travels to take on Villanova, Wednesday at 3 p.m.
The Quakers sit at 7-5 right now, matching their best start to a season since head coach John Cole took over the program in 2006. Villanova is sitting pretty with a 14-3 overall mark, having won seven of its last eight.
The Series
The Quakers have split their last two meetings with the Wildcats, with the home team winning each time. Two years ago Villanova won it 16-2, however last season was a different story as Penn held the Wildcats scoreless through the first six innings on the way to a 10-5 win.
Following the Quakers
Fans of the Red and Blue can follow the game tomorrow by clicking here for Live Stats.
Last Time Out: Get Out the Brooms
Penn swept all four games last weekend, giving the team its longest win streak since taking five in a row in 2008. Pitching was the Quakers calling card, as each starting pitcher at least 6.0 innings while giving up one earned run or less. Sophomore Vince Voiro got the start in the opening game and pitched solid, however the Red and Blue were down 1-0 going into the bottom of the seventh. Adrian Lorenzo hit a game-tying single and then scored the game-winning run as Penn got the 2-1 win. The victory was the catalyst the team needed as they wouldn't trail again in the weekend, winning the final three games 4-2, 8-0 and 6-1.
Pitching By Committee
In keeping with tradition, Penn will most likely use a variety of pitchers on Wednesday against Villanova. Last week against Temple, nine different pitchers saw action on the mound. In 2009 at least five pitchers saw action in each of the Quakers' three Big 5 games.
Scouting The Wildcats
Hitting: Villanova is hitting an impressive .334 on the season, with two players hitting over .500. Senior Justin Bencsko is a batting a BIG EAST-leading .529, while junior Matt Szczur is right behind him with a .522 clip. Szczur leads the team with 35 hits and has four doubles, one home run and 13 RBI. Bencsko, meanwhile, has 27 hits, 24 runs scored and leads the BIG EAST with 17 stolen bases on 18 attempts. As a team, Villanova has relied on the small ball, stealing 59 bases (3.47/G) en route to scoring 8.47 runs per game. They also hit just over two doubles per game, but have only three home runs on the year.
Pitching: The Wildcats have a dynamic duo in Kyle Helisek and Brian Streilein on the mound. Helisek is 2-1 with a 2.18 ERA and 13 strikeouts. He has thrown 20.2 innings and has started four games for Villanova. Streilein is 2-0 in four starts, throwing a team-high 27.1 innings. He has 33 strikeouts to just eight walks and a 2.30 ERA on the season. The team as a whole has a 3.42 ERA and gives up just 4.35 runs per game.
What Bullpen?
Over the weekend, Penn's four starters accounted for 27.0 of a possible 32.0 innings pitched. Paul Cusick, Chris McNulty, Todd Roth all earned victories, while Vince Voiro got the no decision as the four combined to give up two earned runs and strike out 22 batters.
Agent Zero
Senior hurler Reid Terry extended his scoreless innings streak to 9.0 with two appearances over the weekend. Terry pitched the eighth in Penn's 2-1 come-from-behind win to earn his second victory of the year. Opponents are hitting just .161 against the right hander.
Big 5 Streak
After going 3-0 in the Big 5 last year, Penn opened up the 2010 season with a 12-6 victory over Temple. The four straight wins is the longest active streak of any team in the Big 5.
Three Times The Fun
First baseman Spencer Branigan has a team-high three triples in 12 games this year. It's the most by Quaker since Joey Boaen had three in 2006.
Passing the Century Mark
Senior William Gordon recently drove in the 100th RBI of his career. He now has 104 in his career, tops among active Penn hitters. Fellow classmate Tom Grandieri also recorded the 100th hit of his career this year. Grandieri transferred to Penn from Villanova following his freshman campaign.
Off The Wall
Last season Penn hit a school record 104 doubles (2.5/G) and appear to be on the same pace again this year, as the Quakers have 29 doubles (2.4/G) through 12 games. Williams, Branigan, Grandieri and Gordon are all tied for the team lead with five doubles, as nine different players have one hit one this season.

Electrolysis is a technique where electricity is passed through effluent so that it can be treated. The current destabilizes the dissolved collodial particles in the effluent and alters the charge of suspended particles. This allows them to be coagulated, to float and to separate. The action of electrolysis generates hydrogen and oxygen, moves the coagulated and suspended particles to the top, and then they can be skimmed off the surface and removed.
Source: http://www.tatvagroup.com/plant-equipment.html
Many sewage cleaning facilities have a sedimentation stage where the sewage is allowed to pass slowly through large tanks, known as "primary clarifiers" or "primary sedimentation tanks". The tanks are big enough so that sludge settles and floats material such as grease and oils that rise to the surface and are then skimmed off. The main purpose of the primary clarification stage is to produce both a generally homogeneous liquid capable of being treated biologically and a sludge that can be separately treated or processed. Primary settling tanks are usually equipped with mechanically driven scrapers that continually drive the collected sludge towards a hopper in the base of the tank from where it can be pumped to further sludge treatment stages.

J-man Zelda Fan's walkthrough of The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Part Three "Ruin Rampage" (Elemental Sanctuary, Castor Wilds, Wind Ruins, Fortress of Winds)
Elemental Sanctuary
Continuing on with Part Three! Head back to Melari to pick up your new sword, the White Sword. Now we have to infuse it with our two elements at the Elemental Sanctuary, so let's start heading that way. Go back out the way you came in and then, once you're grown, hop down to the south. Now just head in a general southery direction to make it off the mountain and back to Trilby Highlands. Let's go back to Hyrule Town and do some stuff, shall we? First, let's buy a bigger wallet. Go to the Hyrule Town Shop, near the main entrance, and it has a large green rupee on top of it. Go in, and a wallet upgrade should be available for 80 rupees. Now, let's go obtain another sword ability. Head back to Swiftblade's dojo. Now that you have the White Sword, he will teach you the Rock Breaker. Now you can break Pots and rocks with just a swipe of your sword! So now we need to head to that sanctuary and fuse our sword with the elements. Onward we go. Exit out of the north exit and into North Hyrule Field.
Walk north (obviously) until you get to Hyrule Castle Garden. Now we can just walk right into the surprisingly open and unguarded Hyrule Castle. Inside, walk up the stairs to the left and go down the stairs. Here, walk right then up and through the first doorway you see. We come into another garden-like area. Walk up until you come to a glowing doorway, about which Ezlo will make the following comment.
- "Look! See how that doorway glows? Could that be the door that leads to the sanctuary?"
- — No...it's just there for decoration
Of course it's the Elemental Sanctuary, so head inside. Walk up through the crystal hallway and into the next room. In this room, walk up to the pedestal (remind you of any past Zelda games?) and walk around it and right up to it. You should see the command "Drop" on your R button, so press it to put your sword in the hole. The two elements will come out onto the pillars and fuse into your blade! Now walk north and read the tile. Swipe your sword and hold down the button. Your spin attack should charge up, and then a green bar should appear under your life bar. When it's full (remember, you have to hold down the sword button throughout this process) Walk onto one of the tiles. A glowing white thing should show. Now walk onto the other one to make two Links! This is the power of the white sword. Let's get out of here, so go back to the entrance. To open the door that blocks your way, split yourself on the two inner most tiles so you match up with the two floor switches. Step on switches to open the door and exit.
Make your way back to North Hyrule Field, and what's this? A cutscene! It's...it's...Vaati! AHHH!! Wait, who am I kidding? We're not scared of this guy. Vaati and Ezlo exchange some banter, and then Link stupidly goes down and is trapped by rocks! Then, two Moblins will appear and attack! When they charge, simply go down and they will charge right past you. Idiots. Once they've done that, their back will be to you and you can take them out with the sword. After both are defeated, the rocks will disappear and Ezlo will go into an explanation about how Vaati became how he is. A cutscene will play out showing Vaati taking the cap. As if his red eyes and purple body weren't enough before, Ezlo feels compelled to say this.
- "Oh! What a vile form you've taken!"
- — Thanks, but he wasn't much different before, clueless.
You'll see Vaati turn Ezlo into a hat (a hat, of all things. And Ezlo created a hat. Oh cruel irony.) After some more talk, you can continue with your quest, and you're about to get another Piece of Heart. From where you're standing, just travel left and up a bit to come to a cracked rock. Bomb it and head down the ladder. Head down the gray stairs you see here and walk down to pick up a Piece of Heart!
Quest for the Pegasus Boots
Now we want to head toward Castor Wilds. So go back to Trilby Highlands and this time go left and down the ladder. Split yourself on the tiles so you have extra man power to push that large block! Push it all the way over and then walk up the ladder. Out here, bomb the wall and walk inside to get a Kinstone piece, then go south. Walk down through the big grassy field, then go left. Out here, first go north and then up the stone steps to push the boulder into the hole so you won't have to push that block again if you ever want to come back here. Go south in the Western Wood. At this point, Ezlo will say he's got this weird feeling, and then sure enough, Vaati will show up to the Castle and do something to the king. Next, we see the king ordering all his soldiers out to look for the Light Force. There's something mighty strange going on here... After the cutscene, head down. When you see the area to your left with a fallen tree, head that way and then down a little more until you see a sign. Now go up past the sign and then across the bridge and enter Castor Wilds.
- "So this must be Castor Wilds...It's a nasty, dank place, filled with swampland and mire...Into the muck with us!"
- — Um...no thanks?
As much as we don't want to get our nice green tunic all muddy, we have to attempt to traverse this swampland. So walk forward and into the muck, but you'll soon realize that you're sinking! AHHH!!! Well, as you plummet to your death, it looks as if we can't cross these swamp just yet, so head back to Hyrule Town. Go to the center of town to the area with the four little areas where people sell stuff, and head into the shop on the left with the shoe on top. When you walk in, the shoemaker, Rem, will fall asleep and faceplant onto the desk and knock the shoes he was working on off the table. Now you can head over to the pot in the left of the room that is actually a Minish Portal! Shrink down to size and head for Rem's desk. Head up the tiny stairs and onto the desk. Talk to the Minish there, and they will inform you that you need to wake up Rem so he can finish the Pegasus Boots for you. These will allow you to make it through Castor Wilds!
They will mark the location of the Witch's Hut on your map, where you will find the Wake-Up Mushroom that will wake Rem. So, let's head in that general direction. To get the hut, we can't just head through Minish Woods directly. Head over to the eastern part of town. Near the eastern exit, you will see a house with a ladder on the right side of it. Enter the house, and if you already have the right Kinstone, fuse with Mayor Hagen. If not, go outside to the right, travel down the ladder, and open the chest for the proper Kinstone. Now you can fuse with Hagen to clear a pool of water in Lon Lon Ranch revealing stairs leading into a cave. Now, head for Lon Lon Ranch. At the entrance to the ranch, you will find that Talon has stupidly locked himself out of his own ranch. Idiot. Let's go get the Spare Key for him!
Walk past Malon to the back of the house to find a Minish Portal. Shrink and walk back to the front of the house where you will find a small Minish-sized hole next to the door. Enter it to enter the house! Grow back to Hylian size and break the pots in the upper right corner of the room to find the Spare Key! Go back outside to Talon and talk to him. Now, you can pass in and out of the ranch freely as you please. And we need to in order to get to Lake Hylia. In the field with the Cows, head into the cave there for a bigger wallet upgrade, then head up and east until you see a sign. Go north from this sign then travel west all the way until you come to a boulder. Push it into the hole to create a shortcut back to this area. Now, use the Cane of Pacci in the other hole you see and launch yourself up there. Use the Minish Portal and walk across the bridge and into the hole. Open the treasure chest for a Kinstone piece. Now go back and grow to regular size again. Jump in the whirlwind and fly directly down to the next area. Go right and down and jump in this whirlwind and fly all the way down over the pool of water. Head right to Lake Hylia. Here, go down and left and back into Lon Lon Ranch. Head left and push the boulder in to create another shortcut.
Go back to Lake Hylia and go right and down to enter the Minish Woods. Here, check the last section of Part Three to find a Piece of Heart, then go down and right and head up the stone steps. Go right and enter the Witch's Hut. Inside, pick up the mushroom and buy it for sixty rupees. Now, head all the way back to Hyrule Town and Rem's shop. In his shop, stand in front of him and press R to take out the mushroom. Rem will wake up, startled.
- "Whaa--! What is that terrifyingly bad smell!? A wake-up mushroom?!"
- — Glad it's just a game...
Now that he's awake, he will finish his shoes and give them to you, and they just so happen to be...the Pegasus Boots! Equip these babies and hold down the button to run really fast! This will get you through Castor Wilds! But now that we have the Pegasus Boots, let us first get another Tiger Scroll. Head to Swiftblade again and he will teach you the Dash Attack! Now, we can go through Castor Wilds.
Castor Wilds
Here at Castor Wilds, first run across the muck to the opposite set of dry land. Once there, run down to more dry land. Climb up the vine that leads up to the higher level. Next, walk across the bridge that leads northwest. Climb down the vine to the south and enter the cave on the right of it. Here, avoid or kill the Ropes with your sword and go down the stairs to the next room. Make your way through to the left side of this room. Go through the doorway and walk forward to the chest, which disappears. Enter a battle with a Darknut! These will block most of your attacks with the sword. Just stay away until he stupidly makes a wide strike with his sword that leaves him vulnerable. When he does this, slash away. You can also randomly charge him with the Dash Attack and you might get lucky and hit him. After so many hits, he will be defeated. Open the treasure chest for a gold Kinstone piece! Head back outside and back up the vine. Take the bridge that goes northeast and then climb down the vine. Head northwest and in the next screen, you'll find an Eyegore, about which Ezlo will make the following comment.
- "Now, that is one nasty-looking statue! That eye has such an evil glower to it."
- — Scared, Ezlo?
Don't worry about these guys. In fact, we'll be able to deal with them in a moment. Head past. Now here, you'll have to travel through the muck, but it's not a straight path. You'll have to run forward a bit, then turn, then run, then turn. Avoid the spikes and go left, down, left, up until you get to an area with a Minish Portal! Shrink down and head for the area with deep blue water. You get to travel on another lily pad! Use your Gust Jar once more to puff up screen through the water. Turn and go around whenever a flower blocks your way. At the end, get off and in the next area, drop in the hole to battle a horde of Blue Mulldozers! Once all are defeated, a large blue treasure chest will appear. Open it to get the Bow! Now we can deal with those Eyegores. Go back to the Minish Portal, then set your bow to A or B.
Head back to the area with the Eyegore. Shoot it in the eye with your bow and it will come to life! It will start jumping towards you. When it lands, shoot it with another arrow. Three more hits after the original one, and he will be defeated. Go up the new vine that the Eyegore was blocking. Jump into the whirlwind and glide at a slight southwest angle. When you get over the area of blue water, take a left to get on the new set of dry land. In this area, just keep heading down until a dead end with more muck to cross to the right. Head right and then down and then left to an area with three big statues. These guys are called Mysterious Statues and believe it or not, they want to fuse Kinstones with you. Sure enough, the one closest to you has the matching gold half of the half you got earlier. So fuse and he will rise into the air and smash down to crack the large rock over there to the left.
Now, run straight right to another set of safe land. Activate the new Wind Crest stone that you see here, than go up and push the boulder into the hole. Now, take care of the Eyegore and head up the vine. Head across the bridge to an area with another whirlwind. Jump in and fly southwest to an area with another cave. Enter and open the chest for another gold Kinstone piece, simple as that! No Darknut! Now head outside and push the boulder into the hole, then head back and fuse with the second Mysterious Statue to make him crack more of the rock for you. Now, go back to the area you just came from and go up and then climb up the green vine again. This time, walk on the bridges northwest, northeast, southwest and then climb down the vine here to encounter another Eyegore. Now, head up then left then up and into another cave. Open the chest to get your final gold Kinstone piece! We have the last one, so go back to the Mysterious Statues. The final statue will fully destroy the rock. Take the new pathway and enter the Wind Ruins.
Wind Ruins
In the Wind Ruins, head down then up the stone stairs. Go down and then you will encounter something blocking your way. Walk up to the thing and it will activate and come toward you, revealing itself to be a soldier robot time thing. Slash it four times to kill it and move on. Keep walking until you see a Minish Portal. Shrink and enter the Minish hole to the north. If you talk to the guy there, he will tell you that that thing you just killed is a soldier statue, or Armos, and that there's an on/off switch inside. Well that's convenient. Grab the Kinstone from the treasure chest and head out. While still Minish size, go to the Armos and hit the switch inside with your sword to turn it on. Grow back to full-size and make the statue come at you, then defeat it and move on. Push the boulder in the hole then move on. Kill the Tektites here and go up the stairs. In this area, kill all of the Tektites to make the small statue blocking your way disappear.
Keep walking until you come to an area with a Minish Portal. Shrink and go turn on the soldier statue. Grow again, kill the statue, and keep moving onward. Push the boulder in the hole and move to the next area. Here, shrink down to Minish size. Turn off the statue on the far left. Then, grow back to full size. If you kill the three remaining soldiers that are on, the two small statues blocking the treasure chest on the right will disappear. Open the chests for some rupees and Mysterious Shells. In the next area, you have to defeat all the enemies to make the tiny statues disappear. There are Ropes, so defeat those. Then however, you have to find the two Spiny Beetles that are hidden under rocks. Once you've killed those, the statues will go down. Walk through the new path and keep going to enter the Fortress of Winds, our next dungeon!
Fortress of Winds
- "Don't just wonder around aimlessly...That's the quickest way to get lost!"
- — Exactly! But you have this guide!
Not my favorite dungeon, but we'll get through it nonetheless! Walk directly forward and through the doorway. Get some Hearts from the Skulls if you need them, and go up the stairs on the far side of the room. Up here in this room, go left or right past the Stalfos and then go up. Whichever direction you went, there is still an Eyegore blocking your way. Shoot it to make it come to life, then shoot it again until it's dead. Walk left or right depending on which side your on and go up the stairs and open the treasure chest to get the Dungeon Map! Now, head back down the way you came. Back at the entrance to the dungeon, walk right and go through the first doorway you see. Go up the stairs and in this room, first go left, destroy the skulls and the Stalfos, open the chest for treasure, then pull the lever all the way back to open the door to the next room. Before going there, however, go to the right side of the room and repeat the process of pulling the lever to make a chest with a Kinstone inside appear. Get it then go to the next room.
In this room, head down and go up the ladder. In the next room, head for and go through the open doorway. Now, head left. Kill the Armos on the right, and you will find that he was sitting on a glowing tile. Now, split Link into two on the two tiles on the left and right extremities (farthest apart from each other). Make sure you don't hit any walls with copy-Link, and walk through the doorway and step on the Foot Switches you see there. The door will open. Delete copy-Link and walk in to find a Minish Portal! Shrink down and walk back through the doorway and left again. Head into the remaining Armos and turn him on, then exit and travel through the small Minish-sized gap to the left to get to the other Minish Portal. Grow back to full size and head down. Push the block to the right, then go kill the Armos. Pull the lever that the Armos was just guarding to make a Small Key fall down through all the holes in the floor! Go get that key! Do the same thing the key did: fall through the hole. Somehow, Link doesn't die from the height of the fall. Grab that key!
Let's grab a Piece of Heart before we continue. Head all the way back up to that Minish Portal. Shrink, and this time, we want to fall down to the bottom again, but as a Minish! Fall down. At the bottom room, you'll see another one of those holes marked by and arrow. Walk through it to get to a room with a Piece of Heart! Grow to full size and grab that thing! To exit the room, go down to the next to last block on the left. Make sure the Spark isn't around, and push the block down and out of you way. Go back to the entrance to the dungeon and this time head left until you come to another doorway. In this room, again just head up the stairs at the end of the room. Go around the hole and the enemies and head up and then right. There is a red Eye Switch next to the closed door, so shoot the switch with an arrow to open the door. Head for the next room. In this room, you will be faced with four Stalfos! If you have the Boomerang, you can stun them easily with that then use the sword. Another quick way to get rid of them is suck their heads off with the Gust Jar and then fire their head right back at their decapitated body to kill them. Once all four have been defeated, the door to the next room will open.
Go through this room. Pick up some green rupees, but one of them is a Rupee Like, so watch out. Head right. The red rupee is a Rupee Like, so get ready to kill it. Head up the ladder into the next room. Here, just make your way through the room, avoiding or killing the Spiny ChuChu on your way, and enter the next room. In this room, first get on the moving platform that travels up to your left. Shoot the Eye Switch that you approach, then quickly get on the platform going right as it comes by. Now, shoot the second Eye Switch on the right to open the door. Exit the platform and go through the door. In this room, charge your sword and head up to the glowing tile on the outside left. Then, walk around the Eyegore and head to the inside right tile. Now with two Links, head down and step on the switches to make the two Eyegores come to life. Kill both to make a treasure chest appear. Open it to get the Compass! Replenish your arrows by finding some in the skulls in the corners and exit the room. Next, get on the platform that moves to the right and then on the fast moving up and down platform on the right side of the room. There are two Eye Switches on opposite sides of the door here. You have to hit them quickly, because one won't stay shot forever, so it is advised that you don't miss when you get to the other switch. Once both are shot in time, the door will open. Head into the next room.
In this room, kill the Ropes so they don't get in your way, then destroy all the skulls in the southwest corner of the room to reveal four glowing tiles. First we have to split on the top right and bottom right tiles, so we have two Links side by side headed up screen. Once you've done this, walk straight right and push the large block all the way right, then quickly walk down and push the other large block to the left against the wall. Now, cancel copy-Link and head back to the tiles. Now, we want two Links making a line horizontally, so split Link this way and walk to the right. When you come to the block, head down then right and push the block up all the way. With the block out of your way, pull the lever to make another small key fall down through the many holes to finally rest on the floor of the first room. Drop down after it and pick it up. Now we want to head back to the room where we got the Dungeon Map.
Go back to the entrance and into the first room right at the entrance. Go up the stairs back to the room where we got the Dungeon Map. Go back up towards the chest, but this time, walk forward past the blade traps to the two locked doors you see there. Let's go in the left door first. In this room, step on the moving platform and stand on the left. When you get past the first block, walk to the center; past the second block, walk back to the left; past the next block, walk back to the center again; and you will get to the other side. In the next room, you have to shoot the two Eye Switches to create a bridge, but don't stand in one place for too long, or a Wallmaster will drop from the ceiling and send you all the way back to the beginning of the dungeon! Once you've shot both eyes, a bridge will be created. Walk across into the next room. In the next room, you will be faced with another Darknut! Again, stay close to him and force him to use a wide slash that will leave him vulnerable, and that's when you slash him. However, dodge when he charges you with his sword out. After so many hits, he will be defeated, and a blue warp will appear. Also, the south door will open. Go through it.
In this room, you have to walk behind a set of Blade Traps and go around the room and step on the switch. Then, follow the Blade Traps around the room again until you get to the door, in which case go through it. In this next area head right until you come to a set of two skulls. Bomb the section of wall between the skulls to reveal a hidden room! Walk in and open the chest to get...the Mole Mitts! These babies will come in handy!
- "You got the Mole Mitts! Dig, dig, dig to your heart's content!"
- — Don't track dirt into the house!
Now, use those new Mole Mitts (press the button to dig) and dig through that dirt over to the treasure chest. Open it to get 100 rupees! Now, let's head to that other locked door, so exit this room and continue walking right. When you get to the end, hop down and open the locked door on the right.
In this room, you have to pull the lever back to make the bridge appear, but the bridge doesn't stay long! Pull the level back all the way and you will here the noise of the bridge coming. Back up a little bit from the edge and immediately start running with the Pegasus Boots. If you time it right, you should get on the bridge just as it reaches the edge. Keep running all the way across and you will make it. Now, go right up the stairs. In the next room, you will encounter three Floormasters. Just take out each one with an arrow. Defeat all three to make a Minish Portal appear! But we don't want to use it yet, so for now continue on to the next room. Go down and wait until the two spiky roller things are on the other side, then drop down in the top left hole. Wait until both pass over you and then jump out and go up to an area with four foot switches. Take one statue and put it on the bottom right switch, then take the second statue and put it on the top left switch. Now, go up to glowing tiles and kill the enemies. We want to make two Links again. Stand on the bottom one of the left set of tiles and charge up your sword. Once you've made a copy on that tile, move to the top-most tile on the right set and make two Links. Now, be careful you don't hit anything with copy-Link. Walk right then all the way down, then left, then down, then right onto the two switches to make a small key drop down! Pick it up and head down.
Maneuver past the rollers again and open the locked door in the south part of the room. Now, head back to that Minish Portal we uncovered earlier. Shrink down to Minish size and go into the next room. Walk through the arrow-marked Minish hole and out the other side to the area of glowing tiles. Now, walk down to the area with the rollers. We have to get over to the door on the left side of the room, and it's really tough not to take damage from the rollers. When they come to right side of the room, quickly walk down so you are in between them. Now, maintain this position as you make your way to the door, when you get to the door quickly go down (you'll probably get hit here) and through the door. Walk left along the path until you come to a small Minish hole; go inside.
Head for the Minish Portal and grow back to normal size. Step on the switch to make a key fall down in the midst of all that dirt. Now we have to get all dirty digging for that little guy! Darn it! Anyway, go ahead and make your way to the key. A lot of the little places without dirt contain Sparks, so be careful. Once you have the key, shrink again and go back outside. Hop down to the Minish Portal below. Kill the Floormasters with your bow and continue on to the next room. Here, dig through to the ladder (you can kill the Moldorms with the sword and check the pots for goodies if you want). When you reach the ladder, climb up into the next room. Walk through this room and into one with a locked door. Go through the locked door. In the next room, drop down the hole on the right. DO NOT drop down the hole on the left. I repeat, DO NOT drop down the hole on the left. Open the treasure chest here to get the Big Key! Push the block out of your way and go back to the room where we got the Dungeon Map. Back in this room, head directly down and through the open doorway on the south wall. Here, dig to the statue and then push/pull it onto the switch to make a treasure chest appear. Open the chest to get a Kinstone piece, then continue up the ladder to the next room. In this room, dig through and then continue. The next room contains the boss's door. Get ready!
Boss: Mazaal
To defeat Mazaal, you have to shoot the purple thing in his hand with an arrow. Once that's done, slash it with the sword. Repeat with the other hand. Be careful, however, because Mazaal will try to stop you by smashing you with his other hand. Generally, you have to wait for the right moment. He will stop attacking for a moment, and that would be the prime time to shoot his hand. Once both purple things are destroyed, Mazaal's head will fall. Go to the Minish Portal and shrink. Then, walk to Mazaal's head and enter the small hole in the center. Inside, slash at the pillar with an eye on it. Slash until it blows up, then a claw will pick you up and take you outside. Grow and repeat the process of shooting the hands. Mazaal's attacks will escalate. He may occasionally shoot a beam out that electrocutes you, or he might make Beetles fall from the ceiling that you will have to kill. Just always be weary of his attacks and continue to shoot and slash his hands. On the second time you enter his head, you have to dig around the pillars with the Mole Mitts. Search for the one with the eye, and slash away again. Now, repeat the process one more time and dig to find the pillar again to defeat Mazaal once and for all.
Grab the Heart Container and head up the stairs. Walk into an area full of weird birds of different colors. Walk forward and check the giant stone tablet. You'll read a freakin' message from the Wind Tribe, which basically says there's no element here. They took it with them, gosh darn it! Then, this weird bird flies and drops the freakin' Ocarina of Time or something. What the heck?? Actually, this will help you. Walk forward and take it, and it just so happens to be the Ocarina of Wind. We didn't get an element, but at least we can warp all over Hyrule! That's what those weird stones are for!
You'll be warped to the Wind Ruins again, and actually, if you want to, you can go back in the Fortress of Winds and dig around for treasure in the plethora of dirt we never even touched. Anyway, onward to the next adventure! And now that we can warp and easily get around, be sure to check out the "Extra Stuff To Do" section before moving on to Part Four.
Extra Stuff To Do
Wallet Upgrade
In the Eastern Hills, next Eenie & Meenie's field is a hole that you launch out of to the ledge above. Travel to the right to enter the Minish Woods. Here, enter the tree and go down to enter another Fairy Fountain. The Great Butterfly Fairy will show up and ask if you would throw all your rupees into the pool. Answer yes and keep saying yes until she gives you a bigger wallet.
In the Hyrule Town Shop, the Boomerang, which is an entirely optional item, can be purchased for 300 rupees. The Boomerang is useful for stunning enemies, allowing for a quicker way to defeat them.
In Mama's Cafe, you can use the Cane of Pacci to flip over the pot inside to reveal a Minish Portal! From the cafe, you can go a lot of places as a Minish, like up into the roof, over to the Hyrule Town Shop, or to the Piece of Heart mentioned in the next section. Feel free to explore and find treasure on your own.
Pieces of Heart
- On your way to the Witch's Hut, keep heading down instead of right to the shop, and you will enter an area with your next Piece of Heart.
- As a Minish, head out of Mama's Cafe and across the bridge spanning the entrance of the town. Head to the right and then up. To the right of the Bakery of Wheaton and Pita, there is a set of stairs with a Minish vine next to it. Climb up the vine and you can enter the back of the hotel. Inside, grow to full size and grab the Piece of Heart that is waiting for you. If you already got the Heart Piece mentioned above, you will complete a new Heart Container!
- At the last Minish Portal before you enter the Fortress of Winds, shrink down and head down the vine nearby. At the bottom, another vine should be to the far left, so climb down it. In the next area, there should be three vines. Head down the middle vine. Go into the cave you see here, follow the path, defeat the enemies, and grab the Piece of Heart at the end.
Final Wallet Upgrade
Fuse Kinstones with Mayor Hagen (you can find the proper Kinstone piece in the cave down the ladder next to his house) to reveal stairs in Lon Lon Ranch. When you go there and get the Spare Key and can get to the other side of the ranch, go down those stairs and get the final wallet upgrade. You can now carry a total of 999 rupees!

Morgen's Proofreading & Editing
- 100% error-free or your money back -
Everyone needs a grammar nazi.
Hi, my name is Morgen. I understand that for some, spelling and grammar can be a real headache. Spellcheck is great, but just doesn't make the cut when it comes to determining whether to use "effect" or "affect". It would be wonderful if we could all be miraculously blessed with a personal FGGN (Fairy God Grammar Nazi) that helps us through the writing process, but due to human encroachment on their natural habitat, FGGN's are increasingly hard to come by these days.
That's where I come in. For a price within the budget of even a broke college student such as myself, I have committed myself to creating a typo-free world despite the alarmingly dwindling population of FGGN's. Help me by allowing me to help you, and together we can make your words into something so flawless, your readers won't believe there was no fairy dust involved.
I am currently a sophomore at the University of Texas at Arlington. I am in the interdisciplinary studies program working towards an eventual career in screenwriting and playwriting. I consider myself a well-qualified candidate for all your proofreading and editing needs due to my extensive background in writing and general academic excellence. My qualifications include:

I offer proofreading and editing services for almost any sample of writing, including but not limited to essays (academic, scholarship, or contest submission), resumés, internet publications, cover letters, and business letters.
My proofreading and editing services include correcting the following errors:
- Misspelled words (typos)
- Usage errors (Your vs. you're)
- Punctuation errors
- Grammatical errors
- Optional (at no extra cost) - Personal feedback regarding structure, word choice, content, or other areas of concern in the work.
DISCLAIMER: Please do not request that I compose a sample of writing for you. The only services I am offering are proofreading and editing for a body of work that has already been completed by you.
It isn't news to me that tough times are emptying all our wallets too fast. For this reason, my services are offered at these low rates:
- Less than 1,000 words: $0.10 per 100 words
- 1,000 words or more: $1.50 per 1,000 words
If your sample of writing is less than 100 words in length, I will proofread and edit it free of charge! :)

Ascension New Haven Community Gathering July 2014

June 30, 2014
Dear friends and neighbors,
As you may be aware, Ascension Episcopal Church, located at 275 Howard Avenue in the Hill section of New Haven has been without a regular Episcopal worshipping community for some time. In recent years the building has served as a home for other worshipping communities; as a hospitality center offering a variety of programs under the auspices of Christ Episcopal Church, New Haven; and as a place of housing for several Christ Church interns.
The building and property at Howard Avenue are assets of the Episcopal Church and Missionary Society in Connecticut and wonderful resources for mission. We are eager to see this space used in a way that is consonant with God's mission. We have been using a process of study and prayer as we consider the best use of our vacant properties and seek plans for mission that keep in mind the local context and its needs. We have been dreaming about the possibilities for this property and would like to invite you to join us.
We hope that you can come to a meeting on July 23, 2014 at 7 PM at Ascension Church as we gather neighborhood community groups, social service agencies, people from other nearby Episcopal churches, and members of the Diocesan Property Committee to begin the conversation. We'll look forward to hearing about the good work that you are doing in New Haven and your informed opinions about the needs of the local communities.
Let us know that you'll be coming by RSVP at this Eventbrite link: https://ascensionnhjuly2014.eventbrite.com
or feel free to contact Jody Wynn Rodiger, Administrative Assistant for Mission Collaboration, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Bishop Ahrens and I look forward to greeting you.

This is not a typical Marion Zimmer Bradley novel. This book is the result of a bet between Marion and Don Wollheim, her editor for the Darkover novels at DAW Books. In addition, it's her response to the Gor novels - where men were men and women were slaves - that were also being published by DAW Books. Yes, this book does start out with a heroine who has been captured and is being sold as a slave, who has amnesia and remembers nothing of her life before the trip across the desert with the slavers - and, due to a head injury, remembers mercifully little of that. But she does know that she would rather fight in the arena than be a harlot for the men who do, and that choice changes the rest of the book. In a Gor-style novel the woman would become less her own person, eventually learning to be a contented and obedient slave. In this book, even while the heroine, called Zadieyek of Gyre, remains a slave, she is something quite different from the typical "slave girl" - she grows and develops, always searching for her memory and her past, convinced that this is not how her life is supposed to be. And, of course, she's right.

"Woman Protagonist"
Yes, entertaining story about cultural traditions and celebration of women's strength and femininity
I would re-write the ending. The ending was disappointing and lacked reference to the rest of the story line, it felt rushed and removed from the rest of the story.
No, because I was so disappointed with the ending that I do not care for what would happen next for the main character.

The court heard the case of Nancy Drew Suders, who claims she had no choice but to quit a well-paying job as a dispatcher with the Pennsylvania State Police.
Day in and day out, Suders claims, her male co-workers taunted her with lewd talk about sex with animals and worse. Suders claims one officer repeatedly grabbed his crotch in front of her and others told dirty jokes.
After five months, Suders quit and sued for alleged sexual harassment.
"She was subjected to horrendous conditions at work," and got nowhere when she sought help within the police agency, her lawyer, Donald Bailey, argued to the court.
Although perhaps sympathetic to Suders herself, several justices seemed unwilling to redraw complicated rules for sexual harassment lawsuits. In the past, the court has said companies can be liable for workplace harassment, even if top managers didn't know about the behavior, when it results in "tangible employment action" against the harassed worker, like firing or demotion.
Suders' case asks, in effect, if quitting under duress is the same as getting fired.
The state of Pennsylvania and business groups want the high court to overturn a lower court's ruling in Suders' favor.
The approach taken by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals "results in prolonged uncertainty about the legal rights and obligations of both employers and employees," state lawyers argued in a court filing.
The state and its backers argued that under existing standards, employers have a defense to suits like Suders' if they have a policy against sexual harassment, a complaint procedure and an education program for employees.
Suders was aware of the state's anti-harassment policies and procedures to complain but sought no help until two days before she quit, lawyers for the state argued.
Although Suders' allegations are presumed to be true for the purposes of this case, the lawyers noted that Suders' former supervisors and co-workers deny them.
Her supervisors said she was disorganized, often late for work and overwhelmed by the duties.
Suders finally quit in 1998 after she was accused of stealing results of a computer test that her supervisors told her she had failed. She was not charged.
If the high court backs Suders, employers worry they'll have to conduct expensive reviews each time someone quits, to protect themselves from sexual harassment lawsuits.
Civil rights groups argued in friend of the court papers that workers who feel forced to quit should not lose their legal rights.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission received about 13,000 sexual harassment complaints in fiscal year 2003. Nearly 15 percent of the charges were from men.
During the same year, the EEOC and affiliated local and state agencies resolved some 14,000 complaints. Roughly 46 percent were found without to have no reasonable cause for a decision, and almost a quarter of the cases were closed for administrative reasons. Charges were deemed to have merit in about 29 percent of cases, resulting in $50 million in settlements.
The case is Pennsylvania State Police v. Nancy Drew Suders, 03-95.

- Description
Orion Thin Off-Axis Guider(TOAG)
Add autoguiding accuracy to any astrophotography setup with the affordable Orion Thin Off-Axis Guider. This versatile accessory lets you image and guide through a single telescope without the need for a separate guide scope!
Its thin, 10.5mm profile makes the Orion Thin Off-Axis Guider a unique and versatile offering to today's astrophotographers. It's ideal for use with Newtonian reflector telescopes which have limited "back focus" travel. Until now, astrophotographers who used Newtonian reflector telescopes had to use a separate guide scope to add autoguiding accuracy to their images. With the convenient Thin Off-Axis Guider, you can guide and capture astrophotos using one telescope - no guide scope required! Using the Thin Off-Axis Guider for Astrophotography will help you save time and reduce the weight and bulk of your imaging system while eliminating pesky tracking errors.
Designed for use with the Orion StarShoot AutoGuider (sold separately) and similar small-chip autoguiding devices, the Orion Thin Off-Axis Guider features lateral adjustment capability which can effectively double the prism's width for increased versatility.
This handy astrophotography accessory comes with a host of useful adapters including a C-mount to T-threads adapter, Canon DSLR bayonet adapter, Camera T-adapter, ultra-thin M48 male to T-adapter female adapter, 3mm Coma-Corrector spacer, 18mm spacer, and a 2" nosepiece. Thanks to these included adapters, the Orion Thin Off-Axis Guider for Astrophotography will work with many imaging systems right out of the box.
Whether you use a Newtonian astrograph, Schmidt-Cassegrain, or other telescope for your astrophotographic pursuits, get the Orion Thin Off-Axis Guider for Astrophotography and start enjoying increased accuracy in your photos of the cosmos!

I bought this TOAG from OPTCorp, and have so far been quite pleased with it. The one thing that I will comment on is Orion's quality control. The package comes with a small Allen wrench to adjust the depth of the offset for the guide camera. The wrench they packaged with the unit was English and the size of the screws was metric. This made for a sloppy fit in the screw and an inability to tighten the set screws. It was easy enough to find a .5 Allen wrench but there really should be no excuse for sending the wrong tools with the unit. Other than this, I am very pleased with the TOAG, it is easy to use and setup, relatively, and an invaluable addition to my astroimaging arsenal.

Product QuestionsQuestion by: Spiezzy on May 13, 2014 10:57:38 PMThis will work as long as you have enough back focus to fit it and all of your camera adapters into the light path. It will work with most flatteners and will not work with most focal reducers. If the refractor was designed by the manufacturer for imaging and has a 2' or larger focuser, it should be usable.Answer by: Chris (Admin) on May 14, 2014 1:28:31 PMDo you have a helical focuser that can me attached to the prism shaft? Not the Baader one because it rotates the camera as you focus from what I've read. The helical focuser would make it easy to focus a system that is typically hard to focus. Thanks.Question by: Mike Rogers on Jan 29, 2017 4:51:00 AMHello,
Does TOAG fit directly M48x0.75 flattener connection? How deep is M48x0.75 thread on TOAG? (my flattener have a 5mm male M48x0.75 thread). Thanks!I'm using the atik 314l+ for imaging and Meade DSI for guiding. Will I need to purchase any additional adapters for the DSI?Question by: stouffer6244 on Dec 14, 2015 6:14:00 PMThe DSI will thread directly to the OAG guide camera stage, but you will need to use additional T thread spacers between the OAG and the main camera, and the length will change based on whether you are using a filter wheel or not. If you do not already have a USB relay box or something similar, you will also need an autoguider cable from Atik to connect from the 314L+ body to the mount's autoguider port (you will need to tell your guiding software to look for the guide commands from the main imaging camera relays rather than the guide camera relays.)Answer by: Chris Hendren (Admin) on Dec 15, 2015 6:19:00 PMI am using Skywatcher Refractor Espirt 100ED, field flattener came with the scope and a canon dslr..
do I need any extra adapters to use this TOAG?Question by: Ali Al hawas on Sep 6, 2016 2:12:00 AMUnfortunately, there is not enough back focus to use the Orion TOAG between the Esprit 100 flattener and a DSLR. For a Canon DSLR, you are better off using the TS-TSOAG9EOS, which has an M48 thread on the scope side (fits the Esprit 100 flattener), and a total length of 11mm to the bayonet (same as a Canon Wide-T ring). With the TOAG, you have the 10mm of the TOAG plus another 11mm for the T ring, and now your field is not flat when you add the Canon DSLR as you are too far from the flattener.Answer by: Chris Hendren on Sep 6, 2016 3:40:00 PMWhat adapters are needed to use the TOAG in the optical train with a Celestron SCT 6.3 focal reducer?Question by: Rudy on Aug 14, 2014 2:32:38 AMIf using a Canon DSLR, the only needed adapter is the CE-93633-A as the TOAG comes with a female M42 T2 to male M48 adapter and a Canon EOS bayonet adapter. If using a CCD camera, you also need a spacer from the TOAG to the camera so that the camera's CCD sensor is ~44mm from the male M42 T2 thread.Answer by: Chris (Admin) on Aug 15, 2014 11:48:43 AM

Wright questions future
By Phil Jackson
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Sheffield United defender Alan Wright has suggested he may return to Derby County.
Sheffield United defender Alan Wright has suggested he may return to Derby County, where he played on loan this season.
The former Aston Villa man moved to The Rams in February, but was back with The Blades after just seven games because of a hamstring injury.
The 34-year-old left back has hinted there is the possibility of a permanent move to Pride Park, despite Neil Warnock's men earning promotion back into The Premiership.
"I wouldn't rule a move out," he commented. "But there are a lot of questions that need answering.
"I signed for another 12 months with Sheffield United before I came out on loan, so would they want me to leave?
"Would Derby want me to come and would there be a fee involved?
"Derby are a club geared towards being successful and, if I come back next season, I will be doing my best to achieve that," he said.
County are guaranteed Championship football next season, but will be looking to improve on this season's finish in the bottom half of the table.

I'll be heading down to Argentina in a couple of weeks for a solo show I'm having at Galería Turbo.
All the pieces, mostly drawings, small paintings and a few three dimensional objects were inspired by a conversation I had with fellow Dragweroid Robert Saunders during a party, in which he described to me the gypsy burial ritual of burning the caravan of the person who dies (Rob, plays Gypsy Jazz and knows a lot about the subject).
That simple image of flames over the traces of one's existence sent me straight to the sketchbook and I did tons of doodles related to freedom and detachment: Freedom from pain, freedom from feeling stuck in the same place, freedom from loneliness, freedom from fear of tomorrow, freedom from the material and the unnecessary. To my surprise, all of them looked more like a celebration or a moment of meditation rather than tragedy or loss.
In an effort to tame the vector monsters that still makes me do things too tight, I'm allowing more improvisation here and there, getting messy with colors and shapes as I render the finals. Not easy though, but I'm happy with the results I'm getting.
Before I leave I'll post pictures of the process, sketches and a little more about the theme but for now this is the end of the midnight break, back to Piazzolla and work. I still have a lot to finish...

I'm not ready for a relationship yet, I practice safe sex and I don't just sleep with anyone. However if I hit it off with a guy at a club I may have sex with him, even if I know it won't lead to a relationship.
As I said, I don't have sex with anyone. Only people I am attracted to who I can tell are good people.
Will this ruin my chances of having a relationship when I'm ready for one, will the guy not want to be with me because of my past? I'm 21.

No matter what you do (or don't do) with your body there's always going to be someone out there will criticize you for it. No one can tell you what's right for you but you. You have to make your own decisions and decide what your values are. As long as you keep it consensual and you're not hurting anyone, I think you have nothing to apologize for.
Whatever you choose there will be guys out there who will accept you and your lifestyle (and some that won't). You're not going to get blacklisted from a relationship because you like sex. Yes, maybe some guys won't be able to deal with it but not all guys are the same. If having casual sex in the past ruins your shot at a relationship with a guy, is that really a guy you want to settle down with in the first place? He may well be doing you a favour.00|00|0

If you are the kind of people who are always texting or keeping up with your social page every single second on your Android phone, you will be no stranger to the massively popular Swiftkey keyboard app. Now there's big news for all of you currently based on the app. Switfkey has been made free for all.
The massively popular and extensively used app, which has been one of the best-selling paid apps in Google Play since its launch in 2012, was previously carrying a price tag in front it. Happily enough, the price tag exists no more.
With the app going free for all, in the newest version of the app, SwiftKey has added emoji to its predictive keyboard. And this means that it will make emoji-based suggestions based on what it learns from the user's regular use. The keyboard also offers over 800 emoji to choose from, so you will never run out of emoji ideas.
"We can now engage much more with the requests that we get and build out all this great content," Joe Braidwood, the company's chief marketing officer, told Mashable. "This has been one of the biggest requests for the longest time: 'I love your core technology, but I want to change this thing about the keyboard.' Having the SwiftKey store inside of the app allows us to do that."
Recommended: Tata Sky Brings Everywhere TV App to PCs
The app has also added 30 new themes, which include both free and paid options. Users can now purchase packs of themes, and those who have already invested on the app will automatically get the "Premier Pack" of 10 themes when they download the new update.
Swiftkey has made changes and thanked all its dedicated customers in a note that reads: "To thank our users who have paid for SwiftKey Keyboard in the past, we're offering you a Premier Pack of 10 new premium themes to download, worth $4.99, for free!"
