Chapter 33: Unexpected Endings
The sun was rising at a slow and leisure pace, as though it did not really want to force the glorious moon out of its throne. Or at least that was how my uncle would have described the scene… I have never been much of a morning person so every morning is kinda miserable for me. However, this morning was not so bad – I had a certain blonde and magnificent elf to thank for this.
I stretched my back when the sun made its official conquer of the moon, "aww poop… morning…"
"Yes, Phryne, it is."
Of course after all the time of being around Legolas, I was still not used to his silent appearances, "Legolas! What have I told you about sneaking up on me?!"
"'Make some noise when entering.'" My adorable elf rolled his eyes (something he picked up from me) and turned away. "meleth nin, you might want to cover up."
It was then that I noticed the sheets gathered at my waist and my chest completely bare. The sight brought back memories of the previous night and all the pleasures… unfortunately, interrupted due to some minor political emergency he was needed for.
"Oh god!" I quickly pulled the sheets up to cover myself, making Legolas laugh as he toyed with his tunic.
"We are married, Phryne, I do not understand what you have to be modest about." He turned back around, slowly pulling off his tunic in one sweep – Yes, as you would imagine, I was practically drooling at his perfectly toned muscles and overall yummy-ness.
"Le – Le – Legolas, put your hunk, I – I mean shirt on!" I was blushing bright red and my mind completely went haywire when he crawled into the bed.
He pulled me into his arms with his mischievous smile, "I ordered for them to let us be for a while, are you sure you want me to cover up?"
"Mmm…" At this point my mind went into a haze, so I shall not recount the kisses he placed on my neck and shoulders leading to other naughty actions. However, I should probably give you a quick update as to what is going on.
Legolas and I were married not long after the love was professed, much to the displeasure of quite a few people (including Pippin and a certain little brother of Ethan) – while others merely smiled sadly at our fate or rejoiced. Pippin had completely ignored and avoided me after my resurrection, until I hunted him down and talked sense into him. I gave him a high-five for giving Legolas a good lashing when I could not, and assured him that he was forever my favorite hobbit. Éowyn was alright, she found joy in her children and often spoke to me about her plans for them – Oh my! And she made a startling revelation! Let us travel back to that day while Legolas and I, ahem, finish up in our bedroom.
Éowyn and I were sitting out in the central garden talking about her kids – or more like Éowyn was talking and I was listening while making a flower crown.
"I think Angel and Miguel, after their father, would be great names – if they are two boys. Two girls would be great as well! Leonor, after his mother, and Miranda, after his grandmother! I personally would love if it was a boy and girl, Miguel and Miranda! Oh but whatever gender they turn out to be, I would love them nonetheless!" Éowyn was rubbing her huge belly with a fond expression as she spoke about her plans. I would have told her that she was going to have two boys – my journey through their life stream revealed this to me – but she wanted to keep it a surprise.
I examined her growing belly and a thought struck, "Éowyn… is it wise to be blatantly admitting that well… my uncle is their father?"
"What?!" Éowyn looked at me as though she could rip my face off, scaring me enough to rush through my next part.
"I mean, they are being born out of wedlock, is that not improper?"
"My babies should be proud of their father! And for your information, they were conceived in love and wedlock!"
"But…" I was terribly confused, when were they married? "You two… married?" I have always been rather slow, but this time I did not want to believe the conclusion I was coming to. Éowyn's expression explained it all to me, they had married in secret. "Why haven't you told me??! Why marry without informing me?! He was my uncle! I can not believe you two went behind my back!"
"Phryne… please," Éowyn's worried tears moved me slightly, enough for me to pause a bit in my oncoming rant, "we… well, we did it in secrecy – only King Elessar, my uncle, and Gandalf knew! They were the only witnesses!"
"Why was I not invited?!!" As you can imagine, I was terribly hurt and I'm sure Éowyn felt worse than guilty.
"We were going to, but you were rather drunk and off with Legolas... and Kings' testimony would hold greater power than, well… your's…"
"He never told me… you could have told me!" I did not bother to stop the tears running down my cheeks, why would my beloved uncle not share this with me?
"We did not want to hurt your feelings, Phryne, we were going to have a bigger wedding after the war, but… well…" Éowyn looked down at her hands in shame and sadness.
I was pacing in absolute hurt and fury, this felt like a great betrayal. I thought back to the night Éowyn claimed to have gotten married with Miguel, and then I remembered. It was the same night I had gotten completely wasted and pretty much raped Legolas – not that he minded. "Oh god… he really did not have time to tell me… nor was I in any shape to attend a secret wedding…" I looked at the crying Éowyn and sighed, "I am sorry…"
She smiled gently at me, looking absolutely like a goddess. No wonder my uncle fell in love with her. "I am sorry as well."
And so we hugged and made up, I was never one to hold a grudge for too long – especially when that grudge was directed at the woman carrying the children of my beloved uncle. The children that would not be branded by rumors and unkind whispers due to 'propriety' and customs.
Children… oh yes, this brings another topic I should probably discuss. First we should check if Legolas and I are done. Nope, we are not. Naughty, naughty! Well, this topic of children takes us to the night after Legolas and I… after we… well, after we slept together for the first time. Yes, we did sleep together before we were married by Man's standards. A standard that Legolas did not understand, he said that when elves lay together they complete a private ritual that automatically binds them. Which is understandable with elves, I mean, they only love one person for their entire lives. Humans, on the other hand, are rather fickle; therefore need the elaborate wedding ceremony to force and keep two people together for life – well, until divorce is invented. Anyhow, so after completing a small ritual (mainly professing to the elf gods this and that and burning some seemingly random plants) we slept together under the open sky. It was quite the marvelous experience (not that sleeping with the love of your life never is), probably enhanced by the small pots burning an unknown substance in them. Oh dear, I seem to have ranted again, I apologize.
So after I had the best night of my life, Legolas and I laid in the grass (well after the initial act I asked Legolas to lay a blanket down for us), far from the peering eyes, and simply enjoyed the bright stars.
He placed a kiss on my brow in utter bliss, "Meleth nin, you have brought much happiness into my life."
"Legolas…" at this point I did not know what to say, I could not formulate words properly – well all except for the phrase that brought a smile to his face every time – "I love you." And yes, it unfailingly brought a smile to his face – actually, it made him move on top of me faster than I could see. "Oh dear!"
But he did not do anything, he merely examined my eyes with an intensity that no human would ever be able to achieve. In fact, had I not been absolutely in love with him, I would not have been able to maintain eye contact. "Meleth nin, I-" his expression suddenly changed to one of confusion and he sat up, pulling me onto his lap.
"Legolas?" I asked nervously.
"Your life stream… it is flowing incredibly slow, it is even a different shade than other humans." He peered deep into my eyes, I felt as though he could see into every fiber of my soul. Later I would find out (from Gandalf) that the binding ritual opened up my heart for his examination even more than was normal (yes, somehow through the ritual we were connected), and that is why he could not see how slow my life stream really was until after we the deed was done. The color change had occurred when my cleric spirit 'died,' really her spirit merely dispersed and some of it bonded with my life stream permanently – hence the extension. Basically, the portal and my old cleric spirit were to blame.
"What are you talking about?" I, at the time, was still terribly confused.
"Every being has a life stream, as you know, well elves can sense these. It is how I realized Éowyn was expecting children. Yours is slower than other humans, your whole aging process has been slowed down."
The shock overwhelmed me, I realized that I was given more time with Legolas but… it also made me wonder, "If my whole aging has been slowed, then does that mean my entire body slowed?"
"Well, it conserves more energy and therefore slows aging."
"So I can not have children?" my question made his eyes widen in sudden realization.
"No… you can not…" Were I not so close, I would have missed his sad words.
"I - I am b… barren?" my tears choked the words in my throat.
"I am sorry…" Legolas hugged me tightly, his grief pouring from his being.
I cried into his shoulder, feeling like a complete failure as a woman. Legolas had told me before then that he wanted children with me, I had laughed and joked about evil trolls… but deep in my heart, I wanted kids with him too. Now the privilege was taken from me and I felt terribly empty. The rest of the night, we made bittersweet love. Never again did we breach the subject, instead choosing to look at the positive of having more time together.
Oh! Shall we fast forward through time to the morning we opened with?
I was lying in Legolas's arms with practically half my body on top of him. "Love," I murmured, "Aren't we going to be late to little Miguel's and Angel's third birthday celebration."
He began to nod slowly and then realized what I had said, and sat up in a bolt. "We are! I shall summon help for you to dress immediately. We must hurry." I laughed and stretched yet again, my absent mindedness was rubbing off on him. "Meleth nin," at his husky voice I looked at him inquisitively, "moving like that is not motivation for me to be punctual to the celebration." His hungry eyes running down my body resulted in me blushing bright red – amazing how after how long we were married, I still blushed so easily.
I covered myself with the sheets and went to find my robe as he pulled a rope to summon servants to help me dress.
At the celebration, Éowyn gave me a knowing look before continuing with the feasting and speaking to Faramir. She had married Faramir the year prior, for the simple reason of providing a father for her children. I did not blame her, besides, Faramir was a good man with good intentions. He knew full well that Éowyn would always be in love with Miguelito and still married her. She cared for him enough for a functional marriage, but he was no Miguel.
Afterwards, I was walking down the beach with Éowyn and her boys. "Well that was quite a feast! King Elessar went all out!"
Éowyn giggled slightly, "you and your odd expressions."
I shrugged and almost tripped over my own feet, bringing laughter to little Angel's face. I pinched his cheek fondly before placing him on the ground to hold his hand as he walked – I did not want to drop him. Angel was always the bright and cheerful one, while little Miguel (walking next to Éowyn) was the more thoughtful and quiet one.
"So," Éowyn began, "I wonder what kept you this morning."
"Éowyn!" My embarrassed face gave me away completely.
"Oh I tease," Éowyn laughed.
I cleared my throat, still slightly embarrassed, "I heard that Faramir plans to visit Legolas and I in our hom- ahh" a sudden sharp pain in my head made me stop mid-sentence.
"Phryne?" Éowyn's concerned voice went unheard, the pain completely blocked out everything. It soon faded and became a presence.
I looked up at Éowyn's concerned face, I felt Legolas's worry over me through our connection, the boys tugged on my dress, but I did not pay them any heed. Éowyn looked up to call for help, but her words never made it out. She saw something down the beach. I followed her gaze to the figure lying in the distance. It looked like a classic pirate. The figure tried to stand up but quickly lost balance and fell back into the sand. Without any warning Éowyn dashed off to meet the person.
"Wait," I whispered and forced my legs to follow her, the boys holding on to my skirt to lead them. Once I was close enough I stopped in shock, the presence in my mind fading to a soft hum. I could not believe what I was seeing. Dressed in classic pirate garb, my uncle coughed up water onto Éowyn's dress.
A/N: And so this is the end of the story! After all this time, it has finally ended. Wow, I do not even know if you guys remember the story… I hope I have not been completely forgotten! You were all great, anyhow. There is a new story, by the way, and I shall post it soon. Actually, it's mostly finished so you won't have to wait years for the last chapter of it like in this one. It is a PotC fic, not surprising, so be sure to look for it! Thanks for all your support! Review please, on the final chapter of My Uncle, My Cat, and I. :D

Our story starts with a pursuit of fun and a love for our city. Golden Cow Creamery was founded by North Carolina natives Alex and Liz Hannah as a way to share their love of real homemade ice cream with friends and help the community at the same time.
After growing up and attending college in North Carolina, Alex and Liz moved to Colorado and traveled the country for both fun and work sampling delicious homemade ice cream along the way. After moving back to Charlotte it was immediately apparent what was missing; delicious, homemade ice cream. So after a lot of learning and help from friends, family, and the community we are proud to bring our passion for ice cream to Charlotte.
Our flavors are inspired by North Carolina's diverse food culture as well as other fun and unique flavor's picked up around the country and the world. We make all our ice cream by hand in small batches from scratch with real milk, cream, eggs, and sugar or coconut for our vegan options. You will not find any artificial syrups, bagged ice cream mix, stabilizers, filler, or food coloring here. We also strive to use local ingredients wherever possible and support our local farmers when choosing flavors for our seasonal selections.
But for us it's not just about making delicious ice cream. Golden Cow Creamery is a socially conscious organization with a mission to support the growth and prosperity of our community. This is why we are committed to supporting our employees and why we created The Queens Share; a charitable giving campaign to support the community. We are dedicated to building strength in our community by providing a positive and inclusive location for community members to gather while give back to those less fortunate.
Our ultimate goal is to create a business the community loves to support that in turn supports the community. We hope you really love our ice cream too.

Brands Doing It Right On Social Media: Twitter
Today, having a strategic, content-centric social media presence isn't just best practice—it's an absolute necessity. Brands are spending billions on campaigns that have produced some of the most creative and influential marketing being consumed today.
This is the second post in a series to explore some of the brands who are absolutely nailing this whole social media thing by channel:
Twitter is my favorite platform for brands to interact directly with the consumer in a positive way. Combined with conversations around food, Twitter double-wins. When it comes to food brands, the lines of creativity, technology and innovative marketing strategy are all being hopped over like a double dutch jump rope.
Pizza Hut has been leading the pack this past year with innovative (and sometimes insane) ideas about changing the face of delivery pizza. Most recently they announced they were bringing a hot dog-stuffed crust pizza, complete with French's mustard dipping sauce to the U.S. As is customary in current culture, shocked and horrified consumers took to social media to exclaim their feelings on the announcement. So Pizza Hut responded, by re-posting their tweets, hand-drawn in mustard, resulting in engaging and real-time content.
Some brands know their audience so well, they can blend into audience conversation seamlessly and effortlessly. In this case, I'm talking about how Denny's hit a Grand Slam when it comes to brand voice on social media. "America's diner" is tapping into the ever-coveted Millennial market by adopting a brand voice reminiscent of a super chill teenager. This humorous and welcoming voice has helped to increase fan growth by 150 percent over the past two years. And that, as the kids would say, is on fleek.

Armed groups continued to carry out targeted attacks against civilians, including government employees, which resulted in hundreds of casualties. Security forces, particularly paramilitary Rangers in Karachi, committed human rights violations with almost total impunity. Executions continued, often after unfair trials. State and non-state actors discriminated against religious minorities. Despite a new law in Punjab to protect women from violence, so-called "honour" crimes continued to be reported. Human rights defenders and media workers experienced threats, harassment and abuse from security forces and armed groups. Minorities continued to face discrimination across a range of economic and social rights. Access to quality health care, particularly for poor and rural women, remained limited.

Right now on The Pirate Bay, thousands of people are downloading the first two seasons of Game of Thrones.
To anyone at HBO paying attention, that's probably a big deal. People pirating Game of Thrones tend not to be people paying to watch Game of Thrones — at least in theory.
But to director David Petrarca, that kind of piracy doesn't detract from his show's success. It adds to it.
At the Perth Writers Festival in Perth, Australia last weekend, Petrarca said that the piracy factor for shows like his is negligible because Game of Thrones capitalizes on the amorphous "cultural buzz" that surrounds it. As far as I understand it, this means that any sort of piracy is good as long as it makes the show more culturally popular. This is bigger than just ratings.
And he's probably right. Game of Thrones is the most pirated TV show of 2012, which means that a lot of people have seen the show that weren't willing to pay for an entire cable subscription to do so.
Grabbing more eyeballs, no matter what the context, has significant effects on the overall popularity and cultural pervasiveness of a show. (For example, I've never watched a single episode of Game of Thrones, and yet I still snicker when I see a "Winter is coming" meme. You can't even buy that sort of cultural ubiquity. )
As with most things involving HBO, this conversation is one that unavoidably ties into the dicey subject of à la carte TV pricing, which Cablevision brought back into the news just yesterday.
The conversation is, by this point, pretty well understood: The "have it your way" millennials want television subscriptions on their terms, and the "have it our way" media and cable companies want to keep raking in the cash with existing business models.
No matter how you slice it, you can clearly make a lot of money in figuring out how to bridge the gap between the two.

Leadership v. Talk in Politics According to Christine Quinn
STORY BY Liz Willis
Published: June 21, 2013
As the race for NYC Mayor has begun heating up, so has the amount of attacks amongst contenders in the race. Christine Quinn has largely remained silent in regards to criticizing her opponents, instead focusing on showing her impeccable record as Speaker of the City Council. The address I witnessed her deliver Monday was framed by the choice before New Yorkers: choosing between results and rhetoric and between leadership and pandering. These two sets of dichotomies, while the straight-forward nature of their delivery may be hard to stomach, is the truth before New Yorkers. When faced with multiple contenders in a heated race, Quinn has chosen to focus on what matters – results. As a New Yorker, my main concern is the ability of the mayor to deliver for NYC and make the tough choices necessary in the role in a timely manner. Having lived in cities where the Mayor did not appear to be acting in a timely matter and delivering results, the truth is results matter and they should matter to voters in this election. Quinn paints an accurate framework of the choices voters will need to make when selecting their choice for NYC mayor. The first choice is choosing between a candidate who displays leadership by creating a united front among conflicted parties or an individual who caters to voters.
In regards to leadership and pandering, Quinn herself has been accused of pandering most recently to parents in an end-of-the-school-year letter sent out by her office. While some would argue that a candidate is pandering to potential voters in this instance, I would say that as a former teacher in the Philadelphia School District the City Council needs to inform parents of what it has accomplished in the most recent school year. It is up to parents whether they wish to vote for Quinn or not, but I would hope that they care about the results she has delivered as the Speaker of the Council for kids in the city's public school system. Those results do not go unnoticed by the organizations and others who are beginning to announce their endorsement of Quinn including a cadre of organizations, democratic clubs, labor unions, and community members. Their strong support for Quinn does not indicate a pandering candidate, but a candidate with a record of leading and delivering results for the different facets of New York City. While voters certainly cannot base their decision on endorsements, they are yet another part of Quinn's support as a candidate for mayor.
If one were to picture the NYC mayoral election as a job interview of sorts, the "experience" section should show the candidates ability to deliver results in their prior role. In a discussion or debate, empty rhetoric will not carry one far when it comes time to discuss how a candidate intends to deliver the same results to New Yorkers as mayor as they did in their previous role. In her speech Quinn mentioned the recent debate over the 91st Street Transfer Station which showed the dynamics in the current mayoral race. She outlined the fact that a candidate may decide to make hard decisions and pay a political cost in order to deliver results. Quinn has certainly made hard decisions, indicative of someone who is leading and not talking. Now with the race down to less than 90 days before the primary, in her speech Quinn stated that her ideas for New York are not just talking points.
Therefore, I ask New Yorkers to think about the choice Quinn has presented to us as we continue to follow the NYC Mayoral Election. As a New Yorkers, do we want results or empty rhetoric from the individual we elect as mayor? Do we want an individual who can lead the city based on their truth or one who will simply cater to the requests of constituents? Results do matter and I like others look forward to the continued debate as the other candidates start to compare their results with Quinn. There is no denying a strong record and when you have based your platform on taking cheap jabs at a candidate, it cannot take away that candidate's strong overall record. Like education, a record cannot be taken away when the results are front and center. It's time for all of the candidates competing against Quinn in the mayoral race to stop talking and start leading if they want to show why they would be able to lead NYC in a manner better than Quinn. Her speech Monday indicates her willingness to have the discussion in regards to each candidate's record. As we move forward towards the primary, the respective records of leading and results of the actions of the other candidates will need to be in the forefront. There is no better way to show one's ability to take on a higher position requiring the deliverance of results than to show the results from one's current role. Does criticizing an individual's decisions on certain matters equate to being a good candidate for mayor? No, you are just talking.
The most direct statement of her speech indicated where Quinn stands: "Talk is cheap. Voters will decide based on actions," Quinn said. "The greatest indication of what someone will be able to achieve can be found in what they've already accomplished. The record speaks for itself."

NEN-ISO 13612-2 is applicable to heat pumps for space heating and cooling, heat pump water heaters (HPWH), and heat pumps with combined space heating and/or cooling and domestic hot water production, in alternate or simultaneous operation, where the same heat pump is used for space heating and domestic hot water heating. This part of ISO 13612 provides a calculation method under steady conditions that corresponds to one calculation step. The results of this calculation are incorporated in larger building models and take into account the influence of the external conditions and building control that influence the energy requirements for heating and cooling supplied by the heat pump system. This part of ISO 13612 specifies the required inputs, calculation methods, and required outputs for output thermal power generation for space heating and cooling and domestic hot water production of the following heat pump systems, including control: - electrically driven vapour compression cycle (VCC) heat pumps; - combustion engine-driven vapour compression cycle heat pumps; - thermally driven vapour absorption cycle (VAC) heat pumps, using combinations of heat source and heat distribution.

Vietnam: Archbishop urges government to honour property return agreement
In an interview yesterday with the VietCatholic News Agency, he said that people were losing confidence in the government because it has stalled so long in returning the former nunciature buildings and a convent. Archbishop Joseph said: ""The dispute in the former nunciature has been dragged on for more than eight months. We have followed the policy of the Holy See to solve the dispute with frank dialogue. But it seems to be so slow, and that very slowness impacts heavily on Thai Ha issue." In a public statement on February 1, Archbishop Joseph Ngo confirmed reports that the government had agreed to return the nuncio's office to the Church, after more than a month of public protests by Catholics. In return for the government's promise, the Catholic protestors agreed to remove a cross and tents from the land adjacent to the building where they had been conducting regular prayer vigils. Archbishop Joseph had said the building would be turned over to the Church in a series of steps. However eight months on, was struck, no single step has been made. According to Archbishop Joseph, who has just returned to Hanoi after a visit to Orange County Diocese in California, another obstacle to resolving the dispute has been a 'tidal wave' of anti-Catholic propaganda put out by the state-run media, which ignores the religious order's legal claims to the disputed property. On 1 September Cardinal John the Baptist Pham Minh Man, Archbishop of Saigon said in a pastoral letter to the archdiocese that the government was abusing its power, ignoring the law and using excessive force to crush peaceful demonstrations. This would only create more injustice and social instability, he warned.

Bayern's woes continue as Xherdan Shaqiri is the latest midfielder OUT of the Man United match with injury
Verletzungspech: @XS_11official erleidet großen Muskelfaserriss im rechten Oberschenkel: http://t.co/a5uC2IKJy0 pic.twitter.com/64LxOI7oz6
— FC Bayern München (@FCBayern) April 5, 2014
Bayern Munich's official Twitter account have announced on Saturday night that Xherdan Shaqiri.
The Swiss international midfielder, who has been linked to Liverpool in the past, may have been called up this week in the Champions League as Pep Guardiola faces a midfield shortage.
Already without Bastien Schweinsteiger, Javi Martinez, Thiago Alcantara, Bayern will now be without Shaqiri after the youngster suffered a "large torn muscle in his right thigh" in the 1-0 defeat at Augsburg.
Despite their injuries, Bayern will still have Franck Ribery, Thomas Muller, Toni Kroos, Arjen Robben and Philipp Lahm for the visit of Manchester United.

If I were really smart and a really good writer I'd be Evelyn Rodriguez who writes more about what makes Silicon Valley, well, um, Silicon Valley.
I've been thinking about that Silicon Valley post all week. A few of my readers challenged my assumptions. I'm receptive to that right now cause my mom's death caused me to look at all the assumptions I have about life.
That's what Sanjay Parthasarathy did with me with today too (he's my boss's boss's boss's boss and we had a little lunch date to get back in touch after my taking a few weeks off). Could I use my audience to help improve the standard of living in developing nations?
He said something like "what was the difference between Hitler, Stalin, and Kennedy? How they used their audiences."
That's called a smackdown. Leaders make you think about what you're doing. Make you take on big challenges. Make you dream.
That conversation is going to weigh heavily on me this weekend.
Do you have a dream for what you'd like the world to be like? Is it just to copy Silicon Valley and make everyone rich enough to drive a Mercedes SLR like I saw rolling down University Ave. in Palo Alto last week? Or is it to get a billion people off of the $2 a day living conditions that more than half of the world's people live under?
I've seen how to change a big company. How about change the world?
What about network neutrality? Isn't that an important principle to support as it comes to making an Internet usable by all? I guess if businesses had their way they'd charge us all a bunch of fees, particularly if we start distributing content and/or getting popular. I told Sanjay that the thing that makes this so interesting is that every blogger now has the power that only the New York Times or CNN had 15 years ago.
I love how Rick Segal and Shel Israel will travel around the world in August trying to find a way to change the world of investing and entrepreneurship.
What's your dream for the kind of world you want to leave to the next generation? How can we work together on that?

Steam locomotives are complex pieces of machinery. They fascinate us with their sounds and smells, and because their moving parts are visible for all to see, we marvel at how they work. They represent 19th century technology at its finest, and keeping such old machines operating in the 21st century takes hard work, patience and skill.
Just as an automobile requires certain inspections at certain mileage intervals, so do steam locomotives, except their inspections are based on service days, not mileage. For steam locomotives, those service intervals are daily, 31-day, 92-day, annual, 5th annual, and the "big one" - the 1,472-day inspection. At each interval, all previous service intervals are also performed. For example, during the annual inspection, the parts that are checked at the daily, 31- and 92-day inspections are also checked. These inspection intervals are federally mandated by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), and we could not legally operate our steam locomotives if these inspections were not performed.
The 1472 is also a good time to fix or replace other parts that are known to be wearing out. For example, No. 58's tires (yes, steam locomotives have "tires") are getting worn, so we already know that we will need to give her six new tires before she rolls again.
We know that No. 58 has a lot of fans, and it's heart-breaking to see her "dead" and inoperable, but the 1472 is a necessary part of her continued operation, and one that will give her a new lease on life... at least for another 15 years.

Have you always wanted to do a triathlon but are nervous about the swim? Ah yes… the swim. Fear of having to swim in open water with a crowd of people is one of the most popular reasons that most people shy away from doing a triathlon.
Maybe you haven't swam since those swim lessons your mom made you take when you were younger, or you imagine the swim to be like this:
It's one thing to swim laps in a pool while training for your triathlon, but it's a whole other thing to swim in open water with a crowd of people. If you are afraid to leave the safety of your lap lane, then keep reading! We've got some great tips for swimming to help boost your confidence in the water and to ease the anxiety of your triathlon swim. We want you to start (and finish) your race with a smile on your face… and to swim with confidence!
Here are 4 tips to help you swim with confidence in a crowd:
1. Don't start in the back of the pack
If you have anxiety about getting bumped by other swimmers, you may be tempted to believe that the back of the pack is the best place for you. WRONG! Think about it. Unless you're in the last wave (a.k.a. group), the fast swimmers in the wave after you may catch up to you and it will be just like you're in the middle of the pack. On the other hand, you may actually be a faster swimmer than you think and YOU might catch up to the other swimmers in your wave and find yourself in the most crowded area where you'll be sure to be knocked around. So stay away from the back.
2. Stay on the Sidelines
Being on the sideline in most other sports is not a desired place to be. However, in the swim portion of your triathlon, it's prime real estate. By positioning yourself on the sides, you are giving yourself more room to swim because there are usually fewer swimmers on the edges. Since the sidelines are less crowded, you decrease your chances of getting bumped by another swimmer! Just make sure you pick your head up and look around every few strokes (a.k.a. sight) to make sure you're going in the right direction since there will be fewer swimmers to follow over on the sides!
3. Embace the Suck
During my first triathlon I didn't get bumped at all during the swim! Not even once! It was probably because I accidently veered off course, but after reading a ton of (intimidating) triathlon books and talking to a few experienced triathletes during my training, I was fully prepared to be pummeled during the swim. Even if I had gotten bumped, I probably wouldn't have minded because I was already expecting it.
The sooner you embrace the fact that you probably will get bumped during the swim, the sooner you can focus on better things– like having fun! It's easy to become angry and get all worked up when you get bumped, but just remember, the other swimmers aren't doing it on purpose. YOU will probably kick someone too. It's the nature of the sport. Yes, it sucks, but it's part of the experience, so just go with it and enjoy every moment. You may even come away with some great stories!
4. Relax
Have you ever tried aqua jogging? Notice how much slower you "run" in the pool? Well, water slows down your rate of motion, so even if you do get kicked or swatted, the water absorbs most of the shock. The best thing you can do is to RELAX! If you are tensed up during your swim, then you will use up more energy and tire out quicker. If you need to stop and regroup or take a rest, that's totally fine. There will be lifeguards all along the course and you can rest during any part of the swim leg by either standing on the bottom or holding onto a floating buoy. So keep calm and swim on!
And remember, you're not alone! There are many triathletes who get anxious about the swim… even if they've done it before. We hope these simple tips for swimming will help calm your nerves and inspire you to swim with confidence!

Preserving Disappearing Architectural Lettering in Austria
With the modernisation of the urban landscape, vintage architectural lettering disappears at a worrying pace. Beautiful commercial signs above shop windows make way for default letter shapes in plexiglass and neon. As the logos of international chains take over, the couleur locale fades, making the typical shopping street look identical to any similar street in every other every major city. Fortunately some people feel compelled to document these vanishing signs. Herbert Marker – freelance journalist, copywriter, concept developer and photographic flaneur in Vienna – has photographed over 4,000 examples of these commercial signs in Vienna's public spaces between 2004 and 2006.
The complete series – which has taken the shape of a photographic conceptual work of art – can be viewed on Herbe's website. Herbe spontaneously plays with proportions and surfaces, shapes and colours, light and shadow. He frames the images in such a way that the letters grab the attention of the viewer, focussing on the rich beauty and complexity of oft-overlooked typographic details in the urban living environment. As the signs are listed alphabetically specific types of businesses ended up grouped together, which makes for interesting successions of images that can be compared. Wildly varying styles range from scripts that look like commercial handwriting over Art Deco and straight sans serifs to almost experimental lettering, like for example the red neon Espresso sign below.
As about 40% of the signs have already disappeared, Herbe produced two large-scale works that preserve these vital signs of a rapidly changing urban landscape in an artistic context. What appears as a logo to the casual observer is in fact a game of shadows using nearly 2,000 and carefully arranged photographs. Click on the preview images on the sales page to reveal all the exciting details of the commercial lettering (allow for a short loading time).

Cool find!
It reminds me a bit of Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York:
(although Herbe focusses on the lettering obviously)

Good morning – and thank you so much for sharing this most valuable collection!
Isn't it nearly always the case that we don't know what we've got until it's gone? In years to come when all we see are Tesco, Lidl and – in the case of Austria – Hofer hoardings, so many will wonder why we let it happen.
I know this gentleman's work will find a preferential place on my website.
Kind regards,

Skip to comments.When All But One Isnt Enough (Nice lil' rant)
Posted on 02/19/2012 6:22:24 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
I had not planned to write a blog this evening.........just respond.......but I don't want this to get buried in the midst of 40 other responses, or personal "duels".
Right up front.
Roy wrote one about the 'whole truth not being told." So what's new?
What aggravates me the most about this is the greed and audacity of the NAZI left...................yes. that's EXACTLY what I called them.
The Democratic party has had all but ONE major network in their pockets for YEARS. But there is still that ONE out there to speak for the "other side", isn't there? And you people can't STAND it, can you?..........The Democrats------the party of "fairness and equality"
You people ALSO "OWN" nearly every major newspaper on the nation's news stands.....from the Times, to the Tribune, to the Statesman to the MHN.
(Not to mention most of the UNIVERSITIES!)
But even THAT, still isn't ENOUGH, is it?
Yeah----I know.........."Well YOU guys have Rush & Savage!"........
Yes............on the RADIO, that has NOWHERE NEAR the "audience" that the television and the newspapers have.
Listen up a minute........as INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT as it might seem to you people........not everybody supports your "2nd coming"....the "Annointed One"......that "wonderful, charming, handsome, mystical........that brilliant young orator from the "organized community" who has taken this country from 7 trillion to SIXTEEN and just 3 years------
----------"Oh but he'll do what he promised if we just give him ANOTHER four years"---------(do you actually realize how STUPID that sounds?)--------
The guy takes what he "inherited" from Bush & a DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS-------then he more than DOUBLES IT.........and you guys are out there dancing in the streets, singin' the praises!
Makes me wonder if they haven't ALREADY legalized marijuana!
But back to your media. You guys OWN most of it, but just like little that infamous little Minister of Propaganda Josef Goebbels.........the "quest" is to try to get EVERY voice out there SHUT DOWN, except for the messages YOU want to hear.
I did a little experiment a few weeks ago..................remember the one I wrote about some of the comparisons between this administration and Hitler's 3rd Reich?
I wrote one up VERY SIMILAR to that about 2-3 YEARS ago, and you people came crawling out of EVERYWHERE to label me as anything but a human being.
But THIS time, I wrote one up, and even included some photos to go WITH it..........and BRACED for the "expected on-slought. But the responses were EXTREMELY MILD by comparison, and many were supporting or "neutral"..............are a few of you out there actually SEEING enough of it now, to where it's a lot more difficult to argue with?
But Roy's recent post really stirred up some pent-up anger about this "truth in media" crap.............
ONE LONE TELEVISION STATION............and TWO radio shows.........against the MEDIA MIGHT, of sheer numbers that YOU guys enjoy...............
The VULGAR NAME-CALLING by your Hollywood celebrities against our politicians (mainly FEMALE), right there on live television, time after time. If Leno had retaliated, he'd have been CANNED IMMEDIATELY.
The SNOOP living behind Sarah Palin, spying on her family------and the abuse SHE had to take, even against her children.....and some of it LONG AFTER she'd dropped out of the race.--------and your media continues to focus on her even TODAY.........with the rest of the world becoming ever-more ignorant & dangerous.....your FRIGGIN' MEDIA still has nothing better to do!
Obama supporters continue to try to cover HIS "screw-ups" by pointing out what Bush did, what "Senior" did, what Reagan did (when they can find something), what Nixon did............
"Reality TV" here, sports fans----------------
Richard Nixon isn't president anymore
Gerald Ford isn't president anymore
Jimmy Carter isn't president anymore
Ronald Reagan isn't president anymore
George H.W. Bush isn't president anymore
Bill Clinton isn't president anymore
George W, Bush isn't president anymore
...................what all these guys did or didn't do is PAST HISTORY, boys and girls.
BARACK OBAMA is the president now........and at least HALF of us in this country want to know what HE'S gonna do!
So far we've seen LITTLE-to-NOTHING.......except running around the country campaigning for ANOTHER term on these $35,000 a plate dinners-------------(incidently, I thought only "Republicans" were supposed to have that kind of money lying around...........no?)
But that MEDIA, Roy..............let's just say for the sake of argument that FOX DOES lie as much as anyone else...............there's at LEAST a 20-1 ratio of PUBLIC LIARS in the LEFTWING press out there, isn't there?
'Cause you guys control just about all of it.
I have mentioned this on several other threads over the years. Years ago there was a media convention. Larry Ellison (Oracle) was one of the guest speakers. His peeech was about the future of the news media. He said that in the near future, people would turn more toward the internet for their news and would freely pick and choose what they thought was newsworthy. After the speech Dan Rather was waiting for him offstage. Rather got in his face and angrily said, "WE determine whats news and whats not!"
peeech = speech
Late news on the Rhialto, Danny-boy...
Not anymore...

Web shoppers will shop a bit more online, but less at stores, studies show
The Conference Board/TNS survey found that 5% of online households plan to spend more than $500 at e-commerce sites this holiday season, up from 4% last year. At the same time, only 16% of those households plan to spend more than $500 in stores, down from 21% in the 2007 survey...
[Keep in mind the following pointers from the article:]
... Free shipping, exclusive online deals, coupons and discounts are among the incentives consumers will be expecting this season, says Lynn Franco, director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center. Bargain hunting will remain the driving force behind online sales.~Rhia7 -- Remember the 7
