|Reviews for Spirit of Snow
| VampireNaomi chapter 51 . 10/17/2008
Wow. Just... wow. This was by far the best chapter in the entire story. There were so many good scenes and bits of dialogue that my head is still spinning from having read all this. I'll try to make the review as coherent as possible, but it might be a bit difficult. You really captured strong emotions with this chapter.
I guess I had better start from the beginning. I'm glad that you decided to use the Cuddle Buddy idea and make Amy send Michio some toys. It gave you a wonderful opportunity to include some humour about Monty's opinion on her, his dislike for Cuddle Buddies and Yuki's reaction to the whole thing. I just loved it when she teased him and called Amy his ex. XD This scene also continued the work of the previous chapter when we found out that Amy is not upset about not getting Monty and has found a man of her own. It would have been so easy to make her some sort of vengeful harpy in order to underline the Monty/Yuki pairing, but I'm so, so glad that you decided to give her character the respect she rarely gets.
What I absolutely loved about this chapter was that you had done a lot of research on pregnancies and giving birth. I actually learnt something new here, and yet it never felt like you were just cramming the info down our throats. Everything that came up was related to the context and didn't feel out of place at all. I particularly liked that bedroom scene and how Monty was wondering if it would be safe to have sex. And of course you know how much I like the "Monty on bottom" syndrome. ;D This was a great way to use some of that in the story.
Despite that the chapter was very humorous, the more emotional moments didn't seem jarring at all. The scene in which Yuki examines Monty's new scars was very touching and a great parallel to the similar scar scene you had previously in the story. This one felt much lighter because in the previous one they knew they were about to say goodbye and possibly never meet again, but here they're going to be together forever. I also liked this scene because it was another reminder of the horrible things that happened to them because of Monty's actions. You've done a good job of not letting the reader or the characters forget about that no matter how well they've dealt with the issue.
One bit I especially liked about the chapter was how Yuki was encouraging Monty to go on that expedition. Too often I see women acting like clingy fools who want to be the centres of the universe when they're pregnant. They certainly have the right to demand attention, but it was very considerate of her to think of him as well. Besides, they had no way of knowing that Michio would get impatient.
You captured Yuki's shock and determination really well in that bathroom scene. It was almost chilling, and it certainly made me go "Aw, crap", even though I had guessed that this is how it would go.
Haha, you made me fall in love with Arthur Brenton right away. He was amazingly funny in those few bits that he appeared in. XD He was also the perfect reason to have Monty share a jet with Kim and Ron - he just might have been stubborn enough not to do it otherwise. And talking about Kim and Ron, their reactions were perfect! I can just imagine Ron dropping his soda can like that! It certainly must have been an awkward flight. It was good of you not to give us all the details about that, just enough to show how strained things still understandably are between them - and will probably continue to be so.
The birth scene was very believable and touching. Again you included enough details to make it seem real, but at the same time you concentrated more on the emotions of the characters. I'm not a huge fan of childbirth scenes in general, but I loved reading this one. It felt somehow real and not cliché at all, probably because the doctor was there to keep things focused. Monty and Yuki's reaction to Michio was just adorable. Reading about Monty holding his son just got me somehow. In a way I think I felt like them because the baby first came up in the story months and months ago, and we've all been waiting for him to be born. It's been about nine months in real life, too, hasn't it? :P Now Michio is finally here.
With that much happiness, there must be sorrow as well, I guess. You completely surprised me with that twist with Sensei. I simply wasn't expecting that at all (I didn't read the title because I was too impatient), so after the happiness of Michio's birth, it felt like a punch to the stomach. This was a great effect and the conversation between Yuki and Sensei was probably the scene that affected me the most in the story, right after the death of Matthew. You somehow made me from very happy to very sad in a matter of minutes. Be proud. :P
That final scene was an excellent way to end the chapter and essentially the story. It showed all three of them, Monty, Yuki and Michio, happily together and bantering, so it represented everything that they have gained. They had to suffer so much to get to this point, but it has certainly been worth it.
I can't wait for the epilogue, but at the same time I'm dreading it because then the story will be over. It has been such a great read that words can't express how much I love the story. It has involved all of the things I love to read about. Maybe the only additional thing that I would have liked to see is having Kim and Ron meet Yuki and Michio. I would have loved to see their reaction to that Monty got himself a Yamanouchi ninja. But oh well, one can't always have everything. ;)

Great chapter, but just a bit scary, because I can actually picture DNAmy and Duff Killigan as a couple...(shudder)
| LilyHellsing chapter 50 . 10/10/2008
Aw! That was such a fluff filled humerous (yet still in character) chapter! Sorry Im not being all detailed and such (I love when you and VampireNaomi do it because it makes me feel all warm inside and smart XD) but theres not much to say...I loved it! Lol. The ending made me go "aw" out loud just as my dad walked by...he gave me a O.O look lol.
| VampireNaomi chapter 50 . 10/10/2008
This chapter was a blast! As much as I have loved the angst in the previous chapters, it was a relief to read something more light-hearted and happier. It was clear that you had a great time writing this chapter, and I certainly had lots of fun reading it!
I'm not sure why, but I loved the beginning scene with Yuki waking up and going to the dojo. There's something very soothing about how Monty is following the familiar routine even after the shocking events of the previous chapter, though I guess a few days have passed since Yuki came back, which would have given him at least some time to get used to the idea. Still, I liked it.
The brief martial art practice was also a nice scene because it illustrates how Monty has changed the way he treats the monkey ninjas. True, it's not a massive change by any means, but since he has learnt to know how much they care about him, he's not as hard on them as before. I liked it how Yuki took notice of this as well and mused how he would never really hurt his minions just because of practice, even if he keeps snapping at them constantly.
Another bit I liked was how Monty suggested training to Yuki, forgetting that she was pregnant or not realising that she shouldn't be that active in her state. It was a nice way of showing how he still isn't used to the idea of becoming a parent at all.
The playful banter worked well at breaking the tension between them. I really like it how they have these uneasy moments every now and then, even though they're clearly becoming more at ease with each other and returning to how their relationship was at its best. It's very realistic and adds some excitement into the story. There were also other brilliant moments that illustrated this. My favourite was perhaps the whole thing with Crandall and how Yuki couldn't trust Monty right away. It was obvious that she wanted to, but given how he had betrayed her last time, it was understandable that she was afraid and had doubts. I'm glad this situation got at least partly solved here, though, and that they could move on to happier things.
And talking about that, I loved those shopping scenes and how awkward Monty felt at the store! XD The Cuddle Buddies were a great addition and foreshadowed Amy's appearance later on. As I said earlier, it makes perfect sense that they're selling Cuddle Buddies for children, even babies. They're kind of adorable in their own, freaky way, and I guess they have that "Gotta catch 'em all!" vibe that Pokémon had. Anyway, it was a good decision to make Yuki the more experienced one here, even though she was also uncomfortable with the whole shopping idea. She has had much more time to think about the issue and consider just what a baby might need, so it makes sense that she'd have a clearer idea of what they were supposed to be doing. And as you know, I just love it when people put Monty into situations in which he's not in control.
The brief scene in which Yuki was tired felt very weary and somehow melancholy, even though she also told him that she should have believed him about Crandall. I don't know. That scene was such a clear contrast to the almost bubbly humour from the previous scene that it was like being yanked down from the sky. :P I liked it because it was another reminder of how things still aren't picture perfect between them.
Monty wanting to keep the child downstairs really reminded of how Matthew was acting like in that story bit you let me read. XD Looks like Monty is a lot more like his father than he even realises. It's also comforting to know that he's battling with some of the very same issues his father was. It kind of gives hope for that he just might turn out to be an alright father after all.
I can't express my love for the phone conversation with Killigan and Amy! It was by far my favourite moment in the entire chapter! Firstly, it was great to see Killigan, and I loved it how jealous and protective he was of Amy! :3 It was super adorable and romantic, and it really shows what a cute couple they can be when they're written right. I doubt I would have even though of this pairing without you, so thanks for bringing it to the spotlight. And Amy! XD She was really funny and in-character in that scene. I just can't help it but laugh at the idea of her getting so excited about Monty becoming a father. I'm sure she's going to send Michio many Cuddle Buddy brand baby items as gifts - much to the horror of Monty.
That nightmare really caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting it at all, but it was good that you added it. It was a great sign of that even though things seem to be alright, there are still some issues that both Monty and Yuki have to deal with. That talk they had and how Monty still stayed in the room show that they're on the right way, though.
As usual, I can't wait for the next chapter, even though I'm also a bit sad that the story is about to end soon.

Aw! So when are the two going to tie the knot? :D
Great and indeed, partially lighthearted chapter! Pleasure to read- please, keep it up!
| DJ Dubois chapter 50 . 10/10/2008
Glad to see Monkey Fist and Yuki getting back on track. Like how you're making him earn it too! ;)
Thankfully you handled the DNAmy thing the way you did.
| Donteatacowman chapter 49 . 10/5/2008
Good job. Sorry, out of words. :P Great chapter, though!
| Jen Rock chapter 49 . 10/4/2008
As usual, this is very well-done. The awkwardness and need between Yuki and Monty was just perfect. She still hesitates to trust him despite her feelings for him and he can't believe she'd actually want to be with him. The ninja monkey's reactions were cute. As always, I look forward to the next chapter.
| LilyHellsing chapter 49 . 10/4/2008
I was giggling when I read the Monty is shoes and the kilt thing XD I wonder if someone would draw that, don't you wonder too? Lol. I loved just how...teenage-ish they were. They were both timid and hesitant to believe the fact that both wanted each other. It was so cute! Esp. the part where she was about to run off and he grabbed her!
XD Lmao; leave it to Monty to jest about a beard during pregnancy! Plus the eating habits...I swear, the eating habits are always the most comical of the whole nine months! Well, for the woman, not for anyone near them if they get weird combinations lol.
Ugh, this makes me want to try and write my third story but I'm still toying with the idea of how to begin it XD
| VampireNaomi chapter 49 . 10/4/2008
Man, how I loved this chapter! I can believe it that it was very hard to write, but you did a simply awesome job at it. At no point did it feel forced or implausible. Both Monty and Yuki behaved exactly like I was expecting them to, and there were numerous moments when I thought that you had picked just the perfect description or piece of dialogue for the scene.
The beginning was wonderfully awkward, as expected. It was really funny how Monty simply said exactly what she told him to when she wondered if she had fallen asleep. It was a fun twist, especially since it was a great way to show how shaken Monty is by all this. In a normal situation, he would have said something sarcastic, but now he didn't have a single clear thought in his head and gave just the reply that isn't expected in that situation.
Yuki's next question about his clothes was another great moment. At this point the two of them started sounding more like themselves, the first shock having faded a little. I absolutely love their small witty banter in this chapter. It brought some humour into what is a very intense chapter, but it didn't feel out of place at all. As I said in the PM, they're both the kind of characters who just can't keep their mouths shut for too long. To expect them both be entirely serious through this would have been dumb.
I love their conversation about everything that has happened and what they're about to do now. It was a good thing to keep the humour mostly out of it. I'm especially glad that you gave them time to come to their conclusions and dance around the main issue a little. As Yuki kept thinking, she couldn't just blurt out that she had changed her mind. I loved seeing the two of them in agony when they tried to voice their thoughts. And of course, Monty's pleading hope to have her back was very enjoyable! ;D
My absolute favourite moment in this chapter was when Yuki thought Monty didn't want her to stay, and then he pulled her back in near panic over possibly losing her again. It was such a great and intense moment that I had to read it again and again. This is certainly a scene worth fanart! This scene also functions as a good tension breaker because once they have realised that they both still want each other, they can talk about their other issues more freely.
It was a great idea to make them both forget about the baby for a moment. It makes sense that Monty especially would have a hard time coming to terms with that. Yuki has understandably got more used to the idea of becoming a parent, and she has known from the beginning that Michio is going to change her entire life. Monty, on the other hand, has lots of dealing to do because he thought he might never see his son at all. His doubts were well portrayed here, and it makes sense that he'd be careful around this issue. Also, having Yuki admit that she can't come back to him if he's not ready to take them both was a good addition and very true to her character. I've been so fixated on seeing the two of them together again that I almost forgot about the implications a baby is going to have.
I loved the mention of the beard, especially after we saw one possible bearded look for Monty in that German magazine! XD
Another moment I loved was how Monty was resting his hand on Yuki's stomach and how he mused how he had almost killed his own son. That was another strong and emotional scene, also worthy of being drawn. Yet another bit I loved was how Yuki admitted that she is never going to forget about what Monty has done to her. It would have been very unrealistic if she had just got over it and pushed it to the past. That's exactly what I can imagine most authors doing, even though this kind of betrayal is not something that can be forgotten. It shows just how strong her love for him is since she is willing to go back even though those memories will always be with her.
Hehe, I'd actually love to see the two of them go shopping for baby stuff! XD I'm sure it would be very amusing.
Finally, it was another touching moment when Yuki showed her doubts about Monty's job and whether what he's up to is legal or not. It makes perfect sense that she would be wary of him, especially now that she has only been back for such a very short time. Yet Monty is right; she needs to be able to trust him if they want to make this work. I like it how they both have work to do before everything is alright, not just one of them. The fact that Yuki is sleeping in the guestroom for the time being is a great way of showing this.
The ending of the chapter was just brilliant. It was both happy and sad at the same time, but it gave them all hope of a better future.
| VampireNaomi chapter 48 . 9/27/2008
You can't imagine how happy this update made me. I've been feeling a little down lately, but this chapter filled me with bubbling glee, if you excuse such an expression.
It's so satisfying to finally see happiness in Monty's life after he has suffered and gone through so much. While it doesn't remove the pain of those events, it makes it all worthwile and soothens the ache. He wouldn't be here now if he hadn't completed his journey first.
That whole scene with Crandall was brilliant! I was ready to jump up and down together with him when he got really excited about the Obsidian Monkey. Monty's observations about how little Crandall trusted him were amusing and believable, but they also made the end of the scene all the more satisfying. If we hadn't seen how scared and doubtful Crandall was, his sudden excitement and willingness to work with Monty wouldn't have felt half as strong. This arrangement they have probably isn't going to feature in the story very much, but it's very significant for Monty's future. At the surface it looks like he's helping Crandall, but when you look closer, you see that they're actually helping each other but in very different way. Without Crandall and his offer Monty would have probably remained moping at his castle.
If it wasn't for Yuki, that is. Even though I was happy about that she finally decided to go back to him, I was also sad about her leaving Yamanouchi. The majority of the story and some of the most significant scenes have taken place there, so it felt like a great part of her life has been torn away. It isn't like that, of course, but goodbyes such as that are always bittersweet.
The baby blanket and this new information about Yuki's past was highly interesting and further deeped her character. Even though she has had a very happy life at Yamanouchi, I guess part of her has always wondered about her past. That could also explain some of her doubts and fears about giving Monty a second chance.
That cliffhanger in the end was pure evil, but at least you went on a little longer than I would have suspected. Most authors would have ended the scene with Monty freezing at the door upon seeing Yuki, but it was a good decision to go a little further than that. This gave Monty the chance to think and calm down somewhat before facing her.
Needless to say, I cannot wait for the next chapter! It makes me sad that the story is coming to an end, but at the same time I'm very eager to see how it will go and what you might write after this.
| Donteatacowman chapter 48 . 9/26/2008
Haha! Very good! Monty just walked in whisting to find Yuki napping in his chair... And I noticed the two doorbell scenes seemed to have similarities. Like I said, very good! Thanks for writing.
| Jane Poirot chapter 48 . 9/26/2008
It's almost over? Aw, darn. :-(
| LilyHellsing chapter 48 . 9/26/2008
Geesh, if I was in Yuki's position, Id be having a heart attack because Id be so nervous XD Poor girl.
XD Lmao, the Ultimate Thumb Sucker. Oh yeah, that reminds me; I cant recall if it was you or someone else I was discussing shirts about but if I get some shirts made up, what should they be called? Monty's Monkey Lovers or something? Lol
Aw he found her sleeping! XD That is so cute in "wtf are you doing in my house" kind of way!
Omg I cant wait for the next chapter! Im terrified of what will happen next but so excited as well! Update when you can!
| VampireNaomi chapter 47 . 9/18/2008
There were again numerous bits that I absolutely loved in this chapter. The fact that your mind was already going on about the next one promises that it is going to be even better, so I'll be eagerly looking forward to it.
It made me so happy to see that Monty is feeling a little better and is no longer wasting his time doing nothing but feeling miserable. The best part about this whole thing was that he wasn't even fully aware of it himself. For example, when he orders the monkey ninjas to make dinner and then later when he's eating. It's like he has somewhat fallen back to a routine.
And yet the sadness and worries remain. I like it how you were able to be subtle about this whole thing. You didn't mention Yuki at every turn, only when it was natural that Monty would be thinking about her. I also like it how he was bothered by others things as well, such as the fact that returning to a life of archaeology wouldn't be easy because of his past as a criminal and people's doubts.
Haha, I had the laugh of my life with that phone call! I reacted exactly like Monty did and went, "Okay, what the heck is this? Where did this random phone call come from?" XD I had to stop reading because the name Bennett felt so familiar, and it took me a while to remember who he was. That whole conversation was absolutely amazing! I find it hilarious how Monty starts feeling better about himself after he has had a chance to gloat at someone. So like him. :D I adore this bit,
"Monkey Fist grinned as he reached to grab the phone again. 'I assume you finally managed to put a sentence together," he said, sitting comfortably on his armchair "fascinating…I'm listening.'"
I can just imagine the way he's sitting and possibly tilting his head to the side with that grin on his lips. That would be an awesome picture.
The bit with Crandall was both very fascinating and somewhat sad. On one hand, it was awesome to see Monty receive some credit for his help, but on the other hand Crandall's reaction, however understandable it was, brought the melancholy air back into the story. Monty has a long way to go before people are going to learn to trust him again, and in some ways he's never going to be able to put the past behind him. Then again, Crandall's obvious enthusiasm about the Obsidian Monkey could definitely lead to something, and I'm hoping that their meeting is going to be fruitful.
And yay, Yuki finally made the right decision! :D Having her fear be the biggest obstacle was very realistic. I think everyone would have those same doubts in that situation. The fact that she has to think about the child was a good addition, too. And I'm glad you mentioned the possibility that Monty might not want her back; though we all know that this is not the case, it's a logical possibility that I've had in mind for a while now.
It was wise from Sensei to keep her in the dark about the Lotus Blade until this. It was the nudge she needed for making the correct decision, and had he told her about it earlier, the impact might have been lost in the mix of emotions she was feeling back then. Now it was a shock to her and made her think.
There are two more bits I want to mention here. Firstly, Michio finally announcing his presence was awfully cute. :3 I also liked how Yuki's decision made Sensei a little sad, even though this is what he wanted and he knows it's for the best. It's perfectly understandable that he's going to miss her, but this is really the only way for Yuki to be truly happy.

Nativity Play
DVD? Group photo? Individual photo? Class photo? My word, the children must feel like celebrities. I was so cynical. We have so many photo's already.......
But then we went to see them this morning, in the nativity play, and they were just darlings! All of them, so serious, waiting for their turn. Ahhhhhh!
Mary was slightly overcome with emotion (it must have been the thought of being a single parent in biblical times - she was completely in character) what a sweetheart. Lovely Mrs Tamworth saved the day and sat with Daisy on her knee on stage. I would love to be a kind person, and to have a constant supply of patience, just like her. The shepherds were sweet, oh, and the little donkey - he was so cute, I could have taken him home. My lovely boy Max sang tunefully, and Freya........ well, she was an absolute star. But I am biased, and so I should be - because I am their mother.
I loved the part where Joseph tossed the new baby Jesus into the manger (wicker magazine rack). He sang on alone courageously, and stood tall on the stage like a big brave boy - he is only just four years old.
It was a triumph - that perfect play. I love this school and all the lovely teachers. They do their job with genuine care, love and dedication. I want my little girl to go there until she is 18. Why can't she stay? It is not fair that they throw the girls out after two years. I promise to keep her away from the liquid soap dispenser in the future.
I'll have the DVD, the group photo, the individual photo's and the class photo's. Three of each actually, one for each set of grandparents, and one for us. Sigh.....

I think if you install a program like the one Comp Cmndo shows here, or something like say Gigabyte has which shows all updates available for your motherboard, than yeah, those will show you BIOS updates as well, but they won't (shouldn't) install without user intervention. And as I said, you won't see BIOS updates in Windows Update (at least not yet, though though UEFI might change things. Just a wild guess).

Palace want triple deal
By Adam Marshall
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Eagles have benefited from loan duo Vaesen and Hudson's form of late as they mount a late push for a play-off place.
Ahead of Wednesday's match with Sunderland, Dowie is trying to push through a deal for Fulham defender Hudson and hopes to convince Vaesen to stay too, even though the keeper revealed this week that his first choice is to sign a new deal with Birmingham.
"Both have done very well for us," Dowie told Sky Sports News.
"It's a situation we're looking at again. It's about what Nico wants and we're reviewing it constantly.
"He's playing very well for us and, hopefully, we can do something on that front."
Gray, who had been expected to leave Selhurst Park last summer, is also to be offered fresh terms.
"I don't think the grass is always greener elsewhere," added Dowie.
"The Palace fans adore him and he's deserved that.
"I'm hopeful of keeping him here and that's the situation we're working as hard as we can to resolve."

Must Watch: Extended The Day the Earth Stood Still Preview
by Alex Billington
September 15, 2008
Source: Cinema Blend
Before the encore presentation of J.J. Abrams' "Fringe" last night on Fox, an extended 7-minute preview for the upcoming remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still aired. I actually watched it on TV before it showed up here and will say again what I thought then - this looks awesome! I know I'm excited for a lot of movies a lot of the time, but being a big sci-fi fan, The Day the Earth Stood Still has now shot to the top of my most anticipated list for the rest of the year, right below Quantum of Solace. This 7-minute extended preview features a lot of the scenes we saw at Comic-Con, including the incredibly intense part in the middle where Keanu Reeves takes over the guy who is interviewing him and escapes. I know I'm not alone in my excitement, so hopefully those who are in agreement with me will voice their opinion, too.
I wish I could better explain why I think this looks great, but it's a bit hard. Not only does it look very polished, which is a very important thing for me, but Keanu actually looks like the perfect choice and the story looks like an appropriately modern upgrade. Being a huge sci-fi guy, my excitement for this is driven purely by my interest in the subject and the intensity of the scenes, including that ending with Gort. We'll see how all of this holds up in December when I actually get to see the finished film. Thoughts?
Watch the extended preview for The Day the Earth Stood Still:
Preview removed at the urgent request of 20th Century Fox. Sorry!
The Day the Earth Stood Still is directed by up-and-coming director Scott Derrickson, of only The Exorcism of Emily Rose previously, with a script written by screenwriter David Scarpa, of only The Last Castle previously. There are a lot of fresh creative minds involved in this project who haven't yet had a lot of experience. The film is a remake of Robert Wise's 1951 sci-fi classic of the same name. Fox is releasing the re-imagined The Day the Earth Stood Still on December 12th later this year.

Palermo defender out
Palermo defender Ciro Capuano could face surgery on an injured shoulder.
By Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 05/09/07 3:11pm
Palermo defender Ciro Capuano could be facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines with an injury to his right shoulder.
The Italian defender was injured in a challenge during Sunday's Serie A encounter with Livorno and had scans on Tuesday.
The club's doctors are yet to decide what option to take for his rehabilitation, but the defender could yet face surgery which would keep him out for three months.
Capuano had played in both Serie A games this season for Palermo and the club are hopeful he can recover without an operation.

A credit rating check is usually done by financial companies such as credit cards and banks on consumers who want to borrow money from them. A credit rating is a number that represents the consumer's creditworthiness. It is used to evaluate any potential risk that may arise should the borrower not be able to pay his/her debts.
In the United States of America, the FICO score is widely used in a credit rating check. FICO or Fair Isaac Corporation is a publicly listed company in the New York Stocks Exchange that provides decision making and analytics services to help financial companies such as banks and credit card companies in making high volume, complex decisions. The company was started by Earl Isaac and Bill Fair in 1956.
The FICO score which is utilized in credit rating check is composed of 35% Payment History; 30% Credit Utilization; 15% Length of Credit History; 10% Types of Credits Used; and 10% Recent Searches for Credit. The Payment History can cause the FICO score to be reduced if one is late in settling his/her bills while it can also cause the score to be increased if one pays his/her bills on time. A low credit utilization ratio can increase a FICO score while a high credit utilization ratio can decrease the FICO score. A credit utilization ratio is the ratio between the current revolving debt and the total available credit limit.
The length of credit history, which also comprises the FICO score, can have a great impact in the score especially if one has a long history of credit. If a consumer is using different kinds of credit such as revolving, installment, mortgage, and consumer finance, then he/she can increase his/her FICO score. The number of credit rating check can minimize the FICO score. It a consumer continually searches for credit in short periods of time then they will recorded in the credit report which can affect his/her credit rating. However, a credit rating check initiated by an employer for purposes of employee verification; self-check; and pre-screened offers for insurance or credit, do not have any impact on the FICO score.
The FICO score can range from 300 to 850 with 723 as its median score. 60% of the scores are between 650 and 799. In the United States of America, any resident can initiate his/her own credit rating check for free. The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act or FACT ACT requires that a free credit report be issued to the US resident once a year by the three credit reporting agencies, which are Transunion, Experian, and Equifax. Credit ratings can different between the three companies as they use different data.
A credit rating can also be used by insurance companies in pricing its homeowner's and auto insurances. If a credit rating check reveals a high credit score then there's a great probability that less premiums are charged to the consumer because studies show that people with high credit rating have less claims. Also, if the credit rating check reveals a high FICO rating then the person can also be offered low interest rates on loans and mortgages.

Any one have any ideas or solutions?
Oct 19, 2011 - 9:14 pm
Pre-existing or new?
I ask because about two months out of treatment I developed a thrombosed hemorrhoid. It was very round, about the size of a very small pea. I went to see my colo-rectal surgeon, who told me what it was and that it would resolve itself in time (which it did, about two months later).
Either way, pre-existing or new, maybe make a call out to your doctors and ask what they recommend?
Oct 22, 2011 - 3:46 pm
I too have that complaint but I've had a hemorrhoid since I pushed out my daughter 41 years ago, it is now just as you described, Rose. It's always good to hear that things will improve. Thanks!

Like everyone else, Joe and Josephine are worried about the effects of the recession. They are watching uneasily as unemployment increases, consumer confidence erodes and retail sales plummet. As the economy flounders, they're wondering how they can minimize its impact on them.
Joe and Josephine might like to hear some practical advice I picked up recently from a couple of business consultants, Hedley Lawson and Nancy Friedman, who were speaking at the Optical Laboratories Association annual meeting. Although Lawson and Friedman were addressing optical lab executives, their advice is just as relevant for eyecare professionals. Interestingly, both touched on themes of excellence.
Lawson, who edits Vision Monday's Business Essentials e-newsletter, spoke about the need for "organizational excellence" during tough economic times. For each eyecare practice or retail store, it means something different. For some, it could be hiring, training and retaining the best people and giving them the tools to do their jobs properly. That, in turn, might mean buying a new piece of exam or lab equipment that will enable them to give a more thorough eye exam or provide faster service. Just because money is tight doesn't mean that all spending should automatically be curtailed.
Friedman noted the strong link between "great customer service and high consumer confidence." The organizations that succeed are the ones whose customers feel a personal connection with it, she said.
Although these ideas may seem obvious, they can be hard to execute. If Joe and Josephine want to grow or at least maintain their practice or business in this uncertain economy, they should start by upgrading, not downgrading, the quality of the products and services they offer.

This note presents selected findings based on the set of well-being indicators published in How's Life? 2017.
celand has been experiencing a tourism boom. The number of tourists visiting annually quadrupled between 2010 and 2016 and shows continued strength. The tourism sector is now the major export earner and is also creating new jobs and supporting new businesses.
Government at a Glance provides a dashboard of key indicators to help you analyse international comparisons of public sector performance.
Iceland is the OECD's smallest economy and,currently,the fastest growing. A booming financial services and construction led to a deep financial crisis in 2008. However, Iceland has made a remarkable turnaround, helped by spectacular growth of tourism, prudent economic policies and a favourable external environment.
Iceland is the OECD's fastest growing economy. It has made a remarkable turnaround from the crisis, helped by booming tourism, prudent economic policies and a favourable external environment. Iceland has an egalitarian society with strong trade unions, very low inequality and high gender balance. Nevertheless, as a very small open economy Iceland is prone to boom and bust cycles. Prudent fiscal and monetary policy are warranted in the current economic boom.
The spectacular growth in tourist numbers has provided new jobs, boosted tax revenues and attracted currency inflows, but there are some growing pains with social pressures emerging. Growing tourist numbers are putting pressure on the environment, infrastructure and housing. Furthermore, the strengthening króna has created difficulties for other internationally-exposed sectors.
Iceland is the most highly unionised OECD country and the wage-bargaining system has contributed to high living standards and an inclusive society. Nevertheless, recent disruptive strikes and high wage awards have intensified inflationary pressures and threaten competiveness. Fostering trust among the social partners and increasing wage coordination would make collective bargaining more effective and help sustain the benefits of the system for future generations.
This review assesses the performance of Iceland, including looking at how Iceland works in its three partner countries and on key priority issues such as gender, health, education and renewable energy.
Iceland joined the Development Assistance Committee in 2013. This is its first peer review.
Despite a small aid budget, Iceland stands out among donors for its commitment to supporting the poorest countries and using its expertise in areas like renewable energy, land restoration and gender equality for aid programmes that advance global goals, according to a new OECD report.
These ready-made tables and charts provide for snapshot of aid (Official Development Assistance) for all DAC Members as well as recipient countries and territories. Summary reports by regions (Africa, America, Asia, Europe, Oceania) and the world are also available.

Iceland had the 23rd lowest tax wedge among the 35 OECD member countries in 2016. The country occupied the same position in 2015. The average single worker in Iceland faced a tax wedge of 34.0% in 2016 compared with the OECD average of 36.0%.
These country specific notes provide figures and commentary from the Taxation and Skills publication that examines how tax policy can encourage skills development in OECD countries.

Sejuani Build Guide by DaBoBuilds
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Sejuani Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey there my fellow summoners,
welcome to my Sejuani-build. This is a jungle build.
I believe the only good Sejuani is a jungling one.
Try the build before you judge it, and leave comments/feedback in the comment-section below.
Pros / Cons
+ Great ganker
+ Very nice passive for chasing
+ Good tank
+ She rides potential bacon
+ Dreadfully nice ultimate
+ surprisingly deadly
- Compared to other junglers like Warwick and Lee Sin low damageoutput
- Early game not much of a thread without team
- fairly slow
These runes are mainly based on increased tankyness.
Of course you can switch these with whatever you like
These are MY rune choises, so don't hesitate to pick your own runes, since they are only my opinion.
Offence: 0 points, I think your points are better spent in Utility. But if you want Offence masteries, I suggest putting your points in AP/magic penetration, 3 of your 4 abilities scale with AP so it'll greatly increase your overall damage.
Defence: Just put 21 points here, it'll give you valuable survivabilty early game.
Utility: I like to spend my remaining points here, making sure I get increased movementspeed and increased buffduration
Cloth armor, I believe itt's pretty obvious to start with this and 5 Health potions. This has no exeptions.
Mercury's Treads, I choose these because I like the reduced cc. Of course the magic resistance is also nice
Other Good Options
Great choise, since you are rather slow
Could be nice, great for running around the map, something you do a lot. I wouldn't recomment it though.
2nd major item
I get this as soon as possible, right after the boots.
The reason why I get this so early is because you can easily stack it's passive while jungling/ganking. And this item is a beast when fully stacked, escpesially since the passive health isn't lost upon death!
3rd major item
Health, Armor, Health regen, cooldown reduction and a great, team
Helping passive. Need I say more?
4th major item
You really need this, it gives great magic resistance and the very much needed movementspeed! This thing is a must, no exeptions!
5th item
I choose this becasue of a couple of reasons:
- It gives you increased health, which also scales nicely with your
- It's slow stacks with your passive, meaning your basic attacks will slow even more!
- It gives some attack damage.
Other options:
Also good because:
- Gives all you abilities an increased slow
- Gives ability power, meaning that your abilities will deal more damage
- Gives health
I'd choose between one of these, depending on how you like to play. I prefer Frozen Mallet
6th item
I choose this mainly because of the passive: 2% of your maximum health is converted into attack damage. Since you'll be loaded with health, you'll get a decent amount of damage! Oh, and it gives armor and crit chance...
Other Option:
When you play more AP, this item is great: AP + Magic Resistence + Reduce Magic Resistance to enemies = Pretty good combination!
(NOTE: THIS ITEM CAN ALSO BE BOUGHT EARLIER IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT! I'D RECOMMENT GETTING IT EARLIER!)This thing is just nice for every playstyle.
Summoner Spells
Captain Obvious:
It's a jungle-build so Smite is a must. Duh...
My other choise
One OP son of a *****, even after the nerf. I like this on nearly every champion. It let's you run, chase and troll!
Other nice spells
Take it if you prefer it or if you don't have flash. It has the same pro's, except the trolling part.
You could take this if you get cc a lot, I guess... I wouldn't recomment it though.
Bad spells
If you're good you don't need this, and if you're bad you shouldn't even jungle so... DON'T TAKE IT!
Not a bad spell, but don't waste your extra slot on it. You're not gonna need it anyway.
I wouldn't waste your slot on this, you don't need it.
And all the others
Creeping / Jungling
Jungle route:
* Start at Blue buff, let your teammate that goes mid pull it.
After you beat the blue buff you should be at least level 2.
*Pick and look around if you can gank:
-If so, gank.
-If not continue to wolves
* Beat the wolves and walk to the wraiths, you should've Smite off cooldown now, smite the blue one and kill the others.
*You should've enough gold for the boots now, if not head for the golems and kill those.
Go back and buy your boots, if you haven't done the golems yet do them. Otherwise go for the red buff.
* If you have the red buff, go and gank one of your lanes.
Wait in the brush until you are sure you hit your Q ( Arctic Assault)
You must always use your standard ganking combo: (Q) -> (e) -> (W) (If necessary)->
NOTE: If you miss , you must stun the enemy with .
When Sejuani was born, the mystics of her tribe foretold that she would be the one to unite and lead the divided territories of Freljord. Her people had suffered for centuries, as a losing war on the frozen tundra pushed them farther and farther from Freljord's limited food supplies. Sejuani grew up surrounded by this misery, and it fueled her desire to fulfill her destiny. She pushed herself to extremes, walking out into blizzards without food or furs and training while frigid winds raked her flesh. She sparred with the strongest warriors of her tribe, one after another, until her legs would give out beneath her. She sustained injuries that would have killed any other member of the tribe, but she would only rise again, driven by sheer force of will and what her tribe took to calling her ''heart of the blizzard.''
On her twentieth birthday, Sejuani declared that she would lead her people out of their remote isolation to conquer the lands of their enemies. She had completed her training and she was ready to face the leaders of the opposing tribes. Her feats had already become legend and soldiers in her company were inspired to new heights of strength and resolve. However, before she struck out on her campaign, Ashe began campaigning for peace in Freljord, joining the League of Legends to demonstrate how the people could be spared violence. To Sejuani, this was a violation of tradition - a coward's ruse to hoard Freljord's precious few resources. She saw the confidence of her people wane as it seemed they would never be delivered from their plight. She decided that to truly prove herself as the rightful ruler of Freljord, she must defeat Ashe completely and unquestionably on the world's stage in the League of Legends.
"Freljord provides for the few. For the others, 'peace' means only death." - Sejuani
Thanks for looking at my build,

Porter House Bar and Grill Ratings and Reviews
Amazing experience, i was late my guest was sat and provided service that was up to par (vik) while waiting. Dinner from apps to entree was nothing I can complain wine he chose was on par to my taste and martini for my guest had no words. our food was cooked to the right temp
Disappointed to say that the meal was disappointing. Service was abrupt and all about turning the table. The filet was excellent and cooked to the appropriate temperature. However, the strip steak was over cooked and tough. I expected more from a top steakhouse in NY.
In NYC on business and wanted one really steak dinner. Porter House recommended as alternative to Peter Luger's. Service was excellent, The bar had several choices of rye, and I chose the prime rib ( Available only on Wed/Thur) based on the waiter's recommendation. I was not disappointed. Portion was substantial and the au jus/wine reduction was excellent. Roasted Brussel sprouts accompanied the beef And were served with a nice char. For those in The Columbus circle area, I highly recommend this as a great fine dining experience.
Was so looking forward to eating at this establishment. But the service was lacking. The waitress kept on walking by our table but never filled our water glasses. Also, she inquired about our meal after we had already been eating for 20 minutes. She appeared to be more interested in the larger tables and not our 2 person meal.
Food was pretty good but the service took away our enjoyment.
What a bust!
Porterhouse was fine. Nothing memorable about it but damn fine beef and a great bar. The Som was not super friendly but he did recommend a nice wine. Overall, a good experience but nothing you can't get at another steakhouse - and MUCH friendlier than Peter Lugers and cash only not required.
We visited here as our last meal in New York and really enjoyed it. The setting was spectacular, and the food was delicious and the service excellent. It was a great finish to our holiday, and if we go to New York again this would be on top of our restaurants to visit!
This has been my go to Steak House for some time but this last visit was bothersome. First off the entire room was freezing cold. Both myself and my guest had to wear our jackets.The temperature of the room resulted in us just wanting to eat quick and leave. Additionally the service was disappointing. I am in the hospitality business myself and the lack of detail was not what we experienced in past visits.
We had to ask our waiter 3 times to clear emptied glassware. Why he would bring us new drinks and then leave the previous glass was odd. Also, when the bread was served my guests napkin was on the table and the server placed his bread plate on top of the napkin rather than place it on his lap or even ask him to do it himself. When new flatware was brought to the table it was just left to the side rather than place it in the appropriate place. This details may seem like no big deal but ultimately we felt uncomfortable as it is not what we are used to at Porter House. The service should reflect the price that we are paying and unfortunately this was not the case this visit.
We had to ask for the check twice and then and only then were we approached to ask how everything was.
The food was as always, delicious.
A little more attention to detail is in order but it will be awhile before we return.
By the way the server attending the table next to us was on point. We wish we had her.
Went there a year ago during a prior visit to NYC and decided to go there again this past weekend. In a year, things have either gone drastically downhill or it was just a bad night. Steaks were the right temperature but burnt on the outside and dry. We ordered filet mignon at medium rare and medium temperatures, and while they were the proper shade of pink, they were dry and flavorless. Saving grace was the salad (bibb lettuce, bacon, and blue cheese). Not worth the money or the time.
It's about 'dining' - can be pricy but worth the $$'s - attractive room - professional helpful staff - good food - LOW noise level - excellent pre fix lunch seven days a week - you won't be disappointed. You can request a table that overlooks Columbus Circle and lower area of Central Park
Been to Porter House about 5 times. Never had a bad meal there. In fact, every meal has been 5 stars. The service is very good in the way you want it to be, i.e. the waiter staff is always attentive, but obsequious/over attentive. The food is always very good. The steaks are always cooked EXACTLY the way I ask it to be cooked. I feel lucky that it's a neighborhood restaurant and I can always go there with friends and family.
Once again the Porter House staff outdid itself! From our time at the bar with Eric and Patrick, to dinner with an awesome waitstaff, everything was pure perfection. Tim, the wonderful meeter and greeter, once again made our dining experience memorable. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and our desserts too good to ignore. We will be back soon! Thank you all.
Porterhouse was A+ Perfecr, window seating allowed for enjoying lights around Columbus Circle, being able to have first class dining with outstanding filet mignon was exceptional. The service was personal & attentive. We returned after the concert for desserts. Such a memorable evening thanks to the staff at Porterhouse.

Sal, Dean and Marylou drive through Louisiana and Texas, stealing food, cigarettes and gas when they can. They see a huge fire in the night, and scare themselves by driving slowly with the headlights off in a swampy forest. Later, in pouring rain, Sal driving, they are forced onto the side of the road by a car driving straight at them. The offending car is full of drunk fieldworkers who want to ask directions. Sal points the way, then realizes that their car is stuck in the mud. He wakes Dean up, and they push it out and continue on, wet and covered with mud. In the day, they pass through snowy ranges and plains. Once, Dean stops and runs around naked in the sagebrush. He persuades Sal and Marylou to strip as well, and they drive along naked for awhile, shocking passing truckdrivers.
At dark, they stop at the El Paso travel bureau, hoping to find ride-sharers to chip in for gas, but with no success. Sal observes Marylou watching Dean with sadness, anger and love. They drive again, and pick up a quiet boy who promises them money from his aunt in California. They continue on through the purple and red mountains of New Mexico, and then Arizona. Sal, who has taken over driving for awhile, stops to pawn his watch, and they are stopped by another suspicious policeman--but the policeman is amused by Dean and lets them go. In Tucson, they stop briefly at Sal's friend Hingham's house to borrow five dollars.
They pick up another hitchhiker: an "Okie" musician whose guitar has been stolen; he promises them gas money from his brother in Bakersfield. As they pass a women's prison, he tells them a story about a man who was shot by his wife, forgave her, and bailed her out of prison, only to be shot again. They pass through a high mountain pass; on the way down, Dean negotiates the curves in neutral--instructing the others which way to lean--and they make it thirty miles without using gas.
In Bakersfield, Dean is overwhelmed by memories, telling Sal details of his old hangouts. Sal tries to tell Dean about being in the railyard with Terry, but Dean is too excited to listen. They get a few dollars from the musician's brother, and continue on to the aunt in California. But--coincidentally enough--the boy's aunt has gone to jail for shooting her husband. They wish the boy well and go on, soon seeing hilly, beautiful San Francisco, and the ocean beyond. After arriving downtown, Dean leaves Sal and Marylou in the street and rushes off to Camille.
Marylou and Sal stay in a cheap hotel. Without Dean there, Sal realizes that Marylou has no interest in him. She goes off with a wealthy man the second night. Walking through the city alone, Sal experiences a strange moment in which he imagines a store proprietess to be his disapproving mother from a past life. He feels a roar in his ears and thinks he feels the presence of numerous past lives, a sensation of bliss and imminent death--but he makes it back to his room, where he feels ravenous and describes at length the delectable smells of food in San Francisco.
Dean comes back, and takes Sal to Camille's for a few days. Dean has a new scheme: selling pressure cookers. Predictably, this doesn't last very long. Sal and Dean go out with Slim Gaillard, going to long, passionate jazz and blues sessions. Sal prepares to go home. Dean is back with Marylou again; Sal is sick of them. The three part, feeling slightly hostile towards each other.

Zanesville City School officials are offering a cash reward for information leading to the capture of vandals who are targeting the district.
Student Services Director Kevin Appleman said over the last month, two windows at Zanesville Middle School and three truck windows at a maintenance building were smashed.
In addition, a Coca-Cola vending machine was defaced and an athletic department golf cart was also stolen.
Appleman said a rock was used to shatter a window at the baseball and softball facility and said that he and other school administrators have had enough.
"If you are doing it, then please stop," said Appleman. "I don't think you would appreciate us coming to your home and damaging your property. people in this community, our taxpayers, they pay for this, Myself, everybody else. I just wish that they would stop doing this."
A district-wide call was sent out Wednesday asking for help regarding the incidents.
Appleman hopes a cash reward will be enough to make somebody come forward with information.
"There is a $100 dollar reward for the arrest and conviction so hopefully we can get them," added Appleman. "I just got a call a little bit ago, I don't want to say who it was, but they offered to double that for us, so that just shows that our community likes our new schools."
Those with information are urged to call Kevin Appleman at 588-5573.
