E3 2014: Rise of the Tomb Raider unveiled
- Written by Petrus-Iulian "Devon" Fatu
- Published in Action/ Adventure news
A sequel to 2013's Tomb Raider reboot called Rise of the Tomb Raider has been confirmed, following Lara Croft as she slowly turns into the video-game heroine we know.
The last Tomb Raider was not about raiding tombs as much as it was about survival, abuse, near-death encounters, and many, many murders. Lara eventually escaped, and as the game touted "a survivor was born," though from the loooks of things, a survivor suffering from some sort of trauma. As the trailer goes on, with the therapist worrying about her falling into a "mental trap," Lara comes to the realisation that through adversity "we become who we're meant to be."
For the time being, the game doesn't have any dev-diary, gameplay footage or even proof of concept. This little teaser is all about Lara, the new version, as she is trying to fit the shoes of the heroine we are familiar with. She's not yet the gun-toading badass, but Rise of the Tomb Raider depicts a much more clear-headed and deliberate acting protagonist, compared to someone who was forced into a position she wasn't equipped to handle.
Rise of the Tomb Raider is slated for release in 2015's Holiday Season.

Thanks so much for allowing me to share a little of myself and Ineligible Bachelor with you all. This was a fun book to write since I am a Reality TV junkie and also have had a boy-friend who never saw me in any other light. Oh the agony of it all. I hope you will enjoy being a part of Kinley's struggle to show Logan that the woman of his dreams has been under his nose the whole time. Feel free to contact me and let me know if you did.
Kathye Q
There's just one tiny problem: Logan wins! And that means he's headed to a mansion in New Jersey where six beautiful women will vie for his affections on reality TV. Making matters worse, the producers want Freddy to tag along and help choose his ideal match. Suddenly her perfect plan becomes a perfect nightmare, as Freddy scrambles to outwit conniving contestants and convince the man of her dreams that the woman of his has been by his side all along.
as well as urban fantasy.
She has been a member of New Jersey Romance Writers and Romance Writers of America since 1990 and considers it an honor to have been NJRW President in 1992 and 2001. She is one of the founding members of Liberty States Fiction Writers, a multi-genre writers' organizations dedicated to furthering the craft of writing and helping aspiring writers move onto publication.
Kathye originally wanted to be President of the United States or an Organic Chemist, but somehow life got in the way and she got married right out of high school and had a set of twins two years later. The Presidency seemed out of reach and night school to get her Ph.D. to create new molecule that would ultimately result in the betterment of humankind seemed a little time consuming while trying to raise twins, so she decided to write instead.
In her "other" life, Kathye is married to her real-life hero Donald and has three grown sons all having adventures of their own and three "bonus" grandchildren. She is a die-hard New Jersey Devils fan and works for Somerset County government (as close as she could get to the White House) and is plotting a novel about a new molecule that will ultimately result in the betterment of humankind.

Although I have been writing about essential oils for quite some time now, I still get emails asking how to get started, or, more specifically, how to use them. For me it was easy. I became interested in aromatherapy in the early 90s and studied everything I could get my hands on to learn about the therapeutic values of essential oils.
Taking things one step further, it is a simple recipe from Valerie Worwood's book that really clinched the deal. I was having some serious issues with my wrist and thinking it was tendonitis, I used her healing formula that included lavender, rosemary, and peppermint oils to relieve my pain and suffering.
Those three essential oils should sound familiar since they are the basis for my own blend of Miracle Healing Salve.
But I digress. The question at hand is how to apply essential oils for health and wellness purposes. or, put another way, Essential Oils 101.
Today I call upon Contributing Author Rebecca Schiffhauer to help explain how to apply essential oils to derive health and wellness benefits for those that are just getting started on the EO journey.
How to Apply Essential Oils 101
EOs are used for a wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. A single oil can be used or a complex blend, depending on the user's experience and the desired benefit.
Essential oils are usually administered by one of three methods: diffused aromatically, applied topically, or taken internally as dietary supplements.
Due to the natural molecular composition of EOs, they're easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically, sometimes diluted with a carrier oil and sometimes "neat" (undiluted).
Once they're applied, essential oils can have almost an immediate, localized effect to the target area of application. They have restorative and calming properties and can be used very effectively in massage and beauty therapy.
EOs are also natural disinfectants. The chemical structure of essential oils allows them to be absorbed into the bloodstream via the skin for internal benefit throughout the body.
TOPICAL Placements
1. Sub-occipital Triangle: (pictured below) is a great place to apply an EO topically, it sits at the base of the brain stem and close to the blood supply to the brain.
Gaye's note: When Shelly and I "salve-up" at bedtime, we call this "salving the brain". I use my Sleepy Dreamy salve blend for this.
2. Feet: the bottoms of our feet host the largest pores on our body and allow quick absorption.
3. Over the heart: I nice place for a topical application, I find it very soothing and calming.
4. Localized: When aches and pains are involved, apply EOs directly to the area of discomfort and massage the oils in with carrier oil.
Our sense of smell influences lots of physiological pathways including the stimulation of hormones and other metabolic processes. Aromatherapy is founded on the body's predictable response to specific olfactory stimuli.
Essential oils are widely used in aromatherapy applications. Certain essential oils, when diffused in the air, can be stimulating while others can be calming and soothing. Beyond emotional benefits, diffusing essential oils can purify air of unwanted odors and some airborne pathogens.
Low or no-heat essential oil diffusers are recommended because they don't change the chemical structure of the oil being diffused. EOs can also be used as cleaning and purifying laundry and surfaces in the home.
Gaye's note: I can not recommend this enough. I now own three diffusers; one for the bedroom, one for the main kitchen/living area, and one for my office. This is an easy peasy way to ease yourself into essential oils.
Therapeutic grade essential oils can also be used as dietary supplements supporting a variety of healthy conditions. Some EOs have powerful antioxidant properties while others help support a healthy inflammatory response in cells.
Many EOs are generally regarded as being safe for dietary use, but some oils should not be taken internally. Please don't use any essential oil product internally that does not have the appropriate dietary supplement facts on its label.
Gaye's note: My best experience taking essential oils internally has been placing a drop or two in a glass of water and drinking it. Adding essential oils to a capsule did not work for me at all (severe heartburn). A drop of lemon oil in a glass of water is surprisingly refreshing (see 33 Awesome Uses of Lemon Essential Oil for some tips for using lemon essential oil) and nothing beats the woes of eating too much or too spicy than a drop of a digestive blend in water.
Using essential oils can be both profoundly simple and life changing all at once. Working with someone who has used essential oils before can help first-time users have a good experience and boost their confidence. There's a wealth of information available for those wanting to increase their knowledge of essential oil applications.
I highly recommend Valerie Worwood's books, and lots of time spent Google-ing EOs and their uses! As always, hands on use will add to your confidence and open up lots of learning opportunities to broaden your healing skills.
I hope this post helps simplify some of the basics of EO use. While it all seems overwhelming at first, very soon it becomes second nature, I promise. Just keep EOs within reach and use them everyday!
Don't Be Afraid to Experiment
When it comes to essential oils, keep in mind that everyone's physiology is different. Not only that, it has been my experience that something that is working great for months may suddenly become less effective.
I equate this growing tomatoes. You may have grown a particular variety of tomatoes in you garden patch for years when suddenly, boom, they do not do well at all. By switching to another type of seed – similar but different – all is well again. I just wish I understood the science behind this better but for now let's just say that this is Mother Nature's way of doing things.
The good news is that many essential oils have similar qualities (Antiseptic, Analgesic, Anti-Inflammatory, Antiviral, Antibacterial, Anti-Inflammatory, etc.) so it is easy to switch around. Another thing to keep in mind that many are quite inexpensive, starting at $5.99 for a 5ml bottle, making it easy to build up a reasonable collection of basics at very little cost.
The Final Word
Late last year I dumped two drawers full of over-counter-remedies into a box and the box has not seen daylight since. My feeling is that by using essential oils exclusively, I will learn what works and what does not work. Besides, playing with my oils brings out the inner chemist is me and is fun.
There additional things you need to know. A little goes a long way. Also, when stored in a cool dark area, most essential oils will have an infinite shelf life. Now I don't know about you, but I would much prefer to use 100% pure and natural essential oils than a concoction whipped up in a corporate lab somewhere.

Menstrual Pain (cont.)
Which specialties of doctors treat menstrual cramps?
Although many primary care doctors can treat menstrual cramps, women with more severe symptoms may require consultation with an OB/GYN or surgeon.
How is the cause of severe menstrual cramps diagnosed?
The health-care professional will take a detailed medical history, and will inquire specifically about the menstrual cramps and related symptoms. A woman should anticipate questions regarding:
The doctor will perform a pelvic exam to explore any problems. If there are concerns in regard to a possible infection, a culture of the cervix and a blood test may confirm the diagnosis. Additional tests may be ordered.
Some of above tests may assist in ruling out certain causes of menstrual pain and cramping such as an ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), or other abnormalities.

Errol Morris's Take on Tabloid Journalism
As the title suggests, "Tabloid," documentarian Errol Morris's latest film, takes on the subject of tabloid journalism as seen through the prism of Joyce McKinney.
In the late '70s, Ms. McKinney, a former Miss Wyoming, was embroiled in a relationship with a missionary named Kirk Anderson that soon became a scandal known as the "Mormon sex in chains case." (Let Mr. Morris's movie fill in the blanks.) Only a few years ago, Ms. McKinney was in the newspapers again, this time when she had her pet dog, Booger, cloned in Korea.
"Tabloid" attempts to find the link between the two stories and opens July 15 in New York. Joan Rivers, Bennett Miller (the director of the upcoming "Moneyball") and composer Philip Glass are hosting a screening of the movie with Mr. Morris on Monday at the IFC Center, with a party at the Westway. Recently, Mr. Morris, who lives in Cambridge, Mass., spoke about the film and the appeal of gossip in the newspapers.
How did you end up coming upon this subject?
I don't know really why I make any movie, but the fact is the story interested me. I discovered it for the first time in an article about dog cloning. They were not certain but they thought it at least possible that this was connected to this story about a Mormon missionary named Kirk Anderson. So I was interested. Tabloid stories have fascinated me for as long as I can remember.
How would you describe a tabloid story?
It's sensationalistic and graphic. It draws you in because of its strangeness and its peculiarity. And when you go into it, you invariably discover something more. It's like unraveling a sweater when you see a loose piece of yarn and it leads you to really unexpected things. For me, there has to be a human element. I wouldn't pursue something because it was sensationalistic or lurid. It's uncovering something surprising. I don't like documentaries that aren't investigative. I like the joy of the unexpected, the joy of not knowing what you're going to find and finding something extraordinary. With this particular movie, did I know all the details going in? No, I didn't.
So what about Joyce McKinney's story interested you?
There was an inherent mystery: the connection between the two stories. She herself lays it out in the film when she says, "I don't see what a 32-year-old sex-and-chains story has to do with dog cloning." But they are connected. That same person was involved. We know about history through evidence, but what if evidence is lost? What if people die? What if people won't talk? I don't want to sound pretentious, but for me the movie is a wonderful essay on truth, reality, evidence and last but not least obsession.
What was Joyce McKinney's reaction when you first got in touch?
I found her in North Carolina, and she wasn't interested. I think she was experiencing a crush of reporters wanting information. I waited half a year and then she said yes.
How long did you spend with her?
That entire interview was done in a day. When you interview people multiple times, it's never as good. You can accumulate an amazing amount of material in the space of a few hours. People say, "Well then you must not have spent very much time working on the movie." What they forget is I spend an enormous amount of time editing what I shoot. I like to think that I'm good at interviewing, but part of an interview is that you are trying to elicit a performance. The goal is to make them into a complex, engaging human being and when it actually happens, and I'm not sure how and why it happens, it's always an amazing thing to be part of.
Did Joyce's lucidity surprise you?
People remember the past. They may not always remember the past accurately, but they remember those things that are important to them, the things that define who they are. What happened to her relationship with Kirk Anderson is really one of the great tragedies of her life.
Why do you think she still holds a candle for Mr. Anderson?
I don't know if she herself knows. The closest she came to an explanation I did not put in the movie. She tells the story of how when she was a girl in high school in North Carolina, she read a story by Theodore Dreiser called "The Second Choice," and even for Dreiser, it's remarkably bleak. It's about a woman who is in love with a man who doesn't really care about her and so in the end she settles for her "second choice." Joyce told me, "I'm never going to do that, that's never going to happen for me." But even if she doesn't repeat the Dreiser story, she nevertheless condemns herself to a lifetime of loneliness and isolation. "Tabloid" is a movie about love but it does make me think about all kinds of things. Does love involve two people or only one? What was her connection to Kirk Anderson? Why did she love him? Why did she continue to love him? Was it real love? I probably shouldn't resort to hyperbole, but theirs is one of the great doomed love stories.
Has Joyce seen the movie?
We showed it to her last year before it was shown at the Toronto Film Festival. She has reacted in so many ways to the movie. She has expressed annoyance with the fact that the movie had other characters in it as well as annoyance that it was not a screed against the [Mormon] church, which she feels destroyed her life. My job is to capture my characters and the complexity of them, and I believe this is a really rich and sympathetic portrait of Joyce McKinney. She emerges as an interesting and likable figure.
And she looks great in it.
I have really fabulous people for wardrobe, for hair, for makeup and most importantly, I have a fabulous cameraman.

New York's storied St. Patrick's Day Parade will end its long-standing ban on gay groups, GLAAD announced Wednesday morning.
According to the Irish Voice, which first reported the news, the longtime broadcaster of the parade, NBC, was prepared to drop its coverage unless the event began including LGBT organizations.
The organization [email protected], an LGBT group for employees of the media company, will be the first LGBT organization to march openly with its own banner in the March 2015 parade. The parade's organizers, affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, have barred LGBT groups from openly participating in the event with signage for more than 20 years. According to the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, however, [email protected] will be the only LGBT group allowed in the march.
Last year Boston's parade became a subject of controversy as an LGBT contingent was shut out from the parade. In New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio did not march in the parade due to the practice of refusing LGBT groups, and both Heineken and Guinness dropped their sponsorship of the event.
New York State attorney general Eric Schneiderman said the decision this week sends a "powerful message" of "equal justice and opportunity for all New Yorkers."
"I also want to applaud [email protected] for standing up for the rights of all New Yorkers," he said Wednesday. "I look forward to next year's parade, which will serve as the latest example of New York leading the way in equality."
Still, Empire State Pride Agenda executive director Nathan M. Schaefer said much must be done to solidify the parade's standing with LGBT people.
"The news that the organizers of the St. Patrick's Day Parade will allow one LGBT group — OUT at NBC Universal — to march under its own banner for the first time strikes us as disappointing and self-serving," he said in a statement Wednesday. "While this development is long overdue, inviting one group to march at the exclusion of all others and continuing to refer to our vibrant community as 'gay' when it is in fact lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, is a far stretch from the full inclusion we deserve."
More groups will be allowed in succeeding years, according to the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.
"We are pleased that the changes proposed by the parade committee will finally make it possible for LGBT Americans — including Irish Catholic LGBT Americans — to officially march under their own banners," said Sharon Groves, director of the HRC Foundation's Religion and Faith Program. "The discriminatory ban has been shameful, particularly in the very city where the LGBT rights movement got its start 45 years ago at the Stonewall Inn."
Also Wednesday, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Catholic archbishop of New York, was named the grand marshal of next year's parade. Dolan has made several statements opposing LGBT rights.

About Us
The story of Gin Creek Kitchen is a rather unlikely one.
Hi, my name is Annie and I am the owner of Gin Creek Kitchen and Maebells. In 2012 I finished college and realized I had no idea what I actually wanted to do for the rest of my life. Like most twenty somethings I figured something would come along so I didn't worry. I took a perfectly fine office job and realized a very big part of my soul was unsatisfied. I felt all of my creative energy was pent up and I wasn't using any of my real talents.
In January of 2014 I launched Maebells, a gluten free recipe website and for the first time I felt I knew just what I was made to do. I love the peace I feel in the kitchen. I am in my element when I am experimenting and creating recipes. Because Maebells allowed me to explore my creative side and dip my toes into entrepreneurial waters I decided I wasn't stopping there.
In 2015 I opened Gin Creek Kitchen in order to share my love of soulful Southern inspired kitchen and home decor. This store is full of charming items for your home that will help tell your story. Weather it be a darling sugar pot that adorns your table or a cow photo to add a touch of farmhouse charm we have everything you need to make your home extraordinary.

On March 1st, 2010, my friend Walter and I set off on an adventure with my Arabian horse, Sojourner. I rode Soj across America and Walter drove our little truck (with no trailer). The trip began in Los Angeles, California and successfully ended in Bath, New Hampshire 8 months and 14 days later. It was a 3,700 mile ride.
We rode in celebration of family and as an outreach to those dealing with divorce-related depression.
This ride tells a tale of love in many forms - through the people we meet along the way, our connection with the horse, with the land, and with each other.
As this blog goes on it gets more and more in depth with tons of photos and experiences. Snuggle in with a cup of tea and read this like a book. I have switched the blog around so it reads start to finish so you don't have to read backward (except the first entry).
Here is our story...

Oh dids. You're not being preachy, you're just reminding. I think that's one of our biggest responsibilities to one another. We all know wrong from right and that we have happiness inside us if we work at it and that there's joy in the small things, but we get all tied up. we forget or we justify and then we have to be reminded. In yoga, I have to be reminded to breathe every four seconds or I really will forget. When it comes to the environment, though, it's a real luxury to be able to forget. The damages are hidden from view, whether they be extinct animals, lost livelihoods, sick children, loss of culture, debt, or ruined homes. I forget all the time and I am always thankful when someone reminds me.ReplyDelete
Good thing I have such a smart dids. Thank you, my beautiful sister. I miss you more than the joy that comes from rubs, cookies, sunrises and sunsets, big fields, mountains, hot cider, music, smiles, laughter, wine and cheese, puppies, kittens, all little baby animals, and Italy put together.ReplyDelete
Just a couple more months...just a couple more months. Sojey says hello.

mobility agent
In Mobile Internet Protocol (Mobile IP), a mobility agent is a router that facilitates Internet traffic forwarding for a mobile node when its location is changed to somewhere other than its home network. There are two different types of mobility agent: a home agent and a foreign agent.

Experts provide best practices for mobile application delivery and management to help deal with the flood of mobile devices, new applications and data security demands.

A home agent is a router on the mobile node's home network that maintains information about the mobile node's current location, as identified in its care-of address. The home agent uses tunneling mechanisms to forward messages to the mobile node at its current location.
When a mobile device is away from its home network, it is assigned a care-of address. This may be a foreign agent care-of address, which is the static IP address of a foreign agent on a visited network, or a co-located care-of address, which is a temporary IP address assigned to the mobile node. A co-located care-of address may be acquired through some means such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or may be a longer-term address assigned a device for connecting through a specific foreign network. The mobility agent registers the care-of address with a home agent, which resides on the home network. When a message for the mobile node is delivered to the home network, the home agent intercepts the message and tunnels it to the recipient at the care-of address.

Chelsea's under-fire manager Andre Villas-Boas has conceded that the form his side have exhibited against the big teams "has not been good enough".
The Blues have lost to Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool this season, with their second defeat to the latter coming in the League Cup on Tuesday.
Villas-Boas has been criticised recently for Chelsea's slump in form and the team's next few games could prove vital in their chances of winning a trophy come the end of this season.
Chelsea travel to Newcastle on Saturday to face Alan Pardew's side, who have lost only one of their last eight games, before facing Valencia in a crucial Champions League tie at Stamford Bridge.
The Portuguese manager told reporters: "Our form against the top teams has not been good enough. Valencia [is]: life and death for both clubs.
"I don't think confidence is at crisis point, we just have to pull ourselves together. We can only work hard and believe we can revert the situation.
"It's only a crisis at the end of a season when you look at how many trophies you have won."
Villas-Boas had nothing but praise for his managerial counterpart Pardew following the Magpies' impressive start to the season, with the Tyneside outfit sat fourth in the table.
"Pardew has brought serenity to Newcastle. In the past couple of years they've been in turmoil with managers and relegation and [being] sold to another owner," he said.
"But now there is empathy with the city and the club. They play good football - the way teams want to play.
"It's an excellent challenge for us. We have done some good focused performances away from home - there are less relaxations, sometimes extra tension makes you more concentrated. [We have] shown more quality, [more] focus [and] attention away from home.
"This [match] is away against a team which is surprising everybody and which I think will continue to surprise.
"We're not inhibited at Stamford Bridge but we might perform better away because the players [are] more concentrated. There is not a problem with Stamford Bridge, but a problem with the results."

KCee made headlines again at the weekend when he gave out the sum of N70,000 at the Star Music Trek 2015, concert at IBB Square, Makurdi.
While belting out hits like 'Pullover', 'Limpopo', 'Hakuna Matata' and 'Your Face' to the delight of the capacity crowd, he decided to put on an impromptu dance contest for members of the audience. The fan who came first in the contest was rewarded with N50,000 on the spot while the second placed fan was given N20,000.
The show, which also featured performances from 2Face, Runtown, Yemi Alade and MI amongst others, was the first of the second phase of this year's Star Music Trek.

As more automakers have decided to cut prices in order to raise sales, Hyundai will be doubling its advertising expenses to about 630 million euros ($821 million) in Europe to increase its market share. . Hyundai believes that it has an image issue, something that European automakers will probably not believe.
Hyundai found out after conducting some research that more consumers will be attracted to its in-demand models such as the Hyundai i30 hatchback if only it's built by another brand. When interviewed about the plan to increase the ad budget, Mark Hall, Hyundai Europe's marketing director, said that it's "an absolute necessity."
Hyundai attributes its success to its offering of the i30 and its other models that are European designed, engineered and built. Because of this, Hyundai was able to give itself a makeover from being an automaker focused on SUVs and with some quality issues to being one of the hottest automakers around. In the past couple of years, sales growth has averaged almost 10% while the European Union economy suffers.
Hyundai was able to widen its market share to 3.4% in 2012 from 2.6% in 2010. But then, Hyundai presently doesn't expect many of its customers to be loyal to the brand. It thinks that about half of the first-time buyers who flocked to Hyundai for its inexpensive prices will be going to rivals with a better offer.
When interviewed by Reuters, Hyundai Europe Chief Operating Officer Allan Rushforth said that around 70% of its "vehicle parc" in Europe is less than five years old. Rushforth and Hall recognize that in order to keep its customers and reel in new ones, they have to give customers an emotionally-charged reason to acquire its vehicles as well as logical reasons such as value for money.

Musical Healing: Emotional Bag Check/
Emotional baggage gets a bad rap. Without it, some of the most passionate, interesting works of art and literature would never have been created. I mean, what would Taylor Swift write her songs about if Joe Jonas hadn't dumped her? And without emotional baggage, the awesome new website Emotional Bag Check wouldn't exist. The site is "secretly a music site," where you can either "check" your baggage or "claim" it. If you're feeling like you need to unload, you anonymously write about your woes and a kind soul will send you an appropriate song to alleviate your worries. Or if you just want to lend your services, you can read others' issues and send them a tune to help them get through the pain.
So, all hail the healing power of music, and raise a glass for the broken hearts, various forms of neurosis and the occasional meltdown. There's nothing that a good song won't get us through.

Little Massingham: St Andrew, Little Massingham
- About Us
- Find Us
- Contact Us
- Services and Events
- Features and Facilities
- More Info
Little Massingham was separated from Great Massingham at the grand survey of 1087 so possibly our church was first built then though we believe it had Saxon roots. There are remains of a Norman window in the chancel. The C15 porch carries a quote from John 4,23, "The hour cometh and now is when worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth". The exterior S clerestory wall is made of lumps of red Hunstanton chalk. The poppy head pews have carvings of blackberries, hops, ivy, passion flowers, acorns, hips, haws and wheat. The notable Jekyll pulpit carries a Victorian version of a "green man".The First World War memorial is in particularly good taste. In the church yard one may find the Commonwealth War graves of airmen from the parish's 2nd World War Bomber Command airfield and two Celtic crosses to soldiers from the 14-18 war. The tower roof carries graffiti from the Napoleonic era. During 2006/7 the tower and north aisle leads have been renewed and some of the flint walls restored at a cost of £140K. Our thanks to English Heritage, Norfolk Churches Trust, and the Wolfson Foundation for all their help, and to the Almighty Father for answering our prayers.

Review for Fremont Auto Repair
Marlon R. on 07/16/2014
Marlon said this business did a good job. However, he was not happy with the explanation of the person who performed his smog test as to why his vehicle did not pass. He said he did not think this person's explanation was detailed enough. They do offer competitive prices for the area.

Kids and frozen tasty concoctions go hand in hand all summer long, and these frozen gem ring pop molds just rock. Get it? PUN!
How stylin' would your little guy be in this sweet number? Seriously. This striped shirt from Tea Collection is completely adorable.
Farmers' Market! I can't believe we haven't been to our farmers' market yet this year.
This actually just reminded me to put it on my calendar, and plan out a couple of recipes I want to make with the kids from fresh, organic, locally-grown yuminess. How cute would your kids be toting around their very own "strawberry" tote bag, after you've read through the included booklet about farms and they wrote out the list on their special notepad?
I'm always on the lookout for toys to keep my kids active and burning off energy, and this little fella caught my eye. We have plenty of hula hoops and jump ropes lying around, but this turtle target game is something that would appeal to both my 10 year old and 3 year year old.
Last week, Fen scored a pair of binoculars from her grandparents, and she's had her eyeballs pressed up against them non-stop. This pair from Land of Nod comes with a carrying pouch and are rubber-coated to help weather all those inevitable falls.
LOVE! Kiwi Crate has always been a favorite of mine, and check this out: They have a Summer Discovery Pack for the months of July, August and September. Each month your kids explore a different theme, including activities for nature, water, and flight. The floating sailboat and kite-making kits look especially fun.
Summer craftiness doesn't get much cooler than this Ice Pop Garland Kit from Paper Source. They can also be used to make place cards which is an excellent pre-meal activity for kids.
I'm pretty sure you would have the coolest kids on the block if they had their own pulley system that ran up to their treehouse or a backyard tree. This is science + play in action, and a beautiful product, from Haba Toys.

Continuing on with my Imperial Assault posts.
I was really pleased with these Trandoshan. The method from Sorastro really worked well for the skin of these reptilians.
All of the skin was painted the same. Then, all 4 had different washes with either a little more blue, green, brown, or sepia than the other.
It really shows in the blue and sepia Trandoshan. I will try it out on some of the metal and Bones Reaper Lizardmen I have.
I didn't want to paint one of these as Bossk, since Fantasy Flight Games released a Bossk expansion figure.
So, I gave one of them a "salvaged" Rebel Fighter Pilot Flight Suit. I was least pleased with the colors of it. It comes out a little to stark in my mind.
I also tried to give one a desert camo, and another a snow camo or urban camo. I was most pleased with the outcome of the blue one, so I am giving the detail shots of him.
C&C Welcome.

Continuing on with my Imperial Assault posts, here is Chewbacca.
Again, I have been following Sorastro's guides.
This figure was new for me in the use of multiple layers of dark wash over and over. It was about 5 layers.
The pictures show this sort of granular/peculiar highlight. I checked on the model, and it is areas that picked up drybrushing that never toned down well with wash.
It's all good. I painted Chewie very quickly.
C&C Welcome.

Darth Sana
She stared at her adversary with cool and calm calculation, the Jedi was nervous... she saw the fear in his eyes, yes... GOOOOOOD.... fear would cause him to make mistakes.. she'd cut him down with her force-imbued katana and notch another Jedi scum on her belt...
She snarled at him, "Come and die, you fight the Sith Mistress!"
Manufacturer: White Wolf Miniatures
3 parts: Head, body, Sword.
Scale: 70mm high
Sculptor: Juan Puerta
Casting: Sago
This was a labor of love and fun for me, I decided as soon as I saw this beautiful bust that I was going to paint her up as 'evil' and the paint scheme that called to me was to paint her up to look like Darth Maul, I added the horns with copper wire and then sculpted them on with ProCreate.
Towards the end of the project, I was trying to decide how to display her and it came to me that I wanted to make her part of a story, give her a bit more of the Star Wars tie-in with a completely scratch-built Tie Fighter. The title placards on the sides were designed by my good friend @Thrym and I printed them off on cardstock and glued them onto the plasticard sides of the tie fighter.
The scabbard is my attempt at a sort of force rune, it is Kanji which translates into "Sith Mistress."
WIP can be found here:
Without further ado, I present (Darth) Sana from White Wolf Miniatures!
Thanks for looking (and following along), C&C are welcomed and greatly appreciated!

Here is another of my Imperial Assault figures.
IG-88. I followed the Sorastro guide, which involved drybrushing, washes, drybrushing, etc. 4 or 5 cycles.
Then painting on some forced highlights, then a blue wash on one side and a red one on the other.
This was fast, and a little sloppy. But fast.

Foo Fighters Perform Jane's Addiction Tracks With Perry Farrell, Rush's 'Tom Sawyer' With Jack Black
While playing the legendary Forum, Foo Fighters invited out Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell to jam 'Had a Dad' and 'Been Caught Stealing.'
While playing the legendary Forum, Foo Fighters invited out Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell to jam 'Had a Dad' and 'Been Caught Stealing.'
You wouldn't think that Jack Black would be taken seriously enough to sing the national anthem but these guys did. I have to say that he did one hell of a job too. Way better then most that try to add their personal touch. Normally the artistic interpretations of artists suck donkey nuts. Senor Black handled it quite well.
This was a once in a lifetime experience for these 10 year old street performers from New Zealand. Jack Black just happened to see these kids performing on the street, he threw some change in a bucket and then invited them to open for the mighty D's tour.
Comedic actor and Tenacious D vocalist Jack Black has responded to Courtney Love's recent comments regarding the use of Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' in the new Muppets movie and he offers his thoughts on the impact of Kurt Cobain's death.
New music from Tenacious D last surfaced on the soundtrack to their film 'The Pick of Destiny' and after a lengthy hiatus, Jack Black and Kyle Gass are set to return with 'Rise of the Fenix' this spring.
To get you interested all I have to do is start naming people in this trailer: Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Jack Black, Seth Rogen, Danny (Kenny F#@*ing Powers) McBride, Elijah Wood (Frodo), Will Arnett... You get the idea.
Jack Black as a young Ozzy? I can see it! Jared Leto as Vince Neil? It could happen.
It appears that the the two bands are aiming to tour in Australia late in the year and have both released new details about their respective new albums.
The acoustic duo comprised of funnymen Jack Black and Kyle Gass will be back with a new album just in time for Christmas.
Wednesday night, Black was on Conan to talk about his new movie, "Gulliver's Travels," and things were going along peacefully until music entered the discussion. Check out the video!

Review: Kansas's Best Coffee
The Roasterie, City of Fountains Blend, Whole Bean (Order Now)
Awarded as the best coffee in Kansas by business insider, Roasterie is one coffee company that travels to the end of the earth to find best coffee beans which include espresso, single-origin and fair trade organic coffees. They have this unique ability to source coffee beans for those who have expert judgment in analyzing coffee and then air-roast the coffee to the perfect temperatures to deliver the kind of coffee that made Roasterie as the best in the region. The best part about Roasterie is that they don't just deliver great beverages but it defines them and their way of life which is quite exceptional if one thinks about it.
Platinum edition blend, bean baron blend, blue tawar blend and Bristol blend are just some great signature blends offered at Roasterie. One might think "why offer so many blends?" well that's like asking a painter why use so many colors. The coffee found all over the world are so distinct from each other that it really makes the staff marveled at the sheer diversity of flavors. That's exactly what they've done with their signature blend of coffee and provided a gallery for those who appreciate the art of coffee.
Not everyone can deliver an ingenious combination of the right coffee beans along with the perfect roast and high standard extraction equipment like the baristas at Roasterie do. Their espresso machine focuses and strengthens the flavors of the coffee beans. Also their approach to espresso is to create blends that produce a good balance of flavors. Good crema is also the center of attention which has good foam that can be seen on top of an espresso shot when it's just pulled out. The price is also reasonable considering great coffees of other states, which is $12.84 for 12 oz.
Another great approach by Roasterie is towards decaf coffee to minimize the "dialed down" effect. Midnight Rendezvous dark roast decaf (costing $13.15 per 12oz) is made in such a way that the taste would be similar even if it hadn't been decaffeinated. It has a full, amusing flavor profile with all the highs and lows you'd want from an exceptional dark roast coffee that hasn't been decaffeinated.
Serving great coffee isn't the sole reason behind their popularity in Kansas State as they have great apparel, mugs and cups, equipment, posters, culinary and a lot more to keep customers returning to Roasterie and to their three great cafés in the state.

A recent discussion about senior leaders from another thread with my good friend and mentor COL Raymond Elderd got me thinking. As we consider the most senior executives in the military or corporate America, what skills are most important to have at that level? When considering the service Chiefs or Senior Enlisted Advisors, they may be the best operational leaders ever, but what good does it do the entire force if they don't have the strategic vision to look 5-10+ years into the horizon to anticipate the needs of the force? Even more importantly, what good is that vision if you can't sell those ideas to the American public & key leaders such as the SECDEF, POTUS, and Congress in order to fund that vision? As it relates to corporate America, the pedigree of many CEOs is varied from a sales foundation, to engineering, to R&D, accounting, operations or other disciplines. In corporate America, as with many senior military leaders, they typically worry about the outward facing issues of a company while their senior operations folks worry about the day-to-day blocking and tackling (or "top down stuff"). Given this background, what skills do you think are MOST necessary at the senior levels of the military, and do you think we do a good job of breeding leaders with those skills? Also, food for thought - what leaders do you think did the best job as strategic thinkers, and why?
Comment to vote on one of the following options!:
- They should be former operators (combat arms, pilots, captains of vessels, etc.)
- They should be support functions with varied experience
- They should be scholars with heavy civilian education
- It is irrelevant and should be unique to each individual/service need at that time
Comment below or start the conversation here and connect within the military community.

Horsemen's views vary widely and many wear blinkers, or live in a fantasy world. Occasionally one of the posts makes a good case. Those I try to share with my followers, and fellow horse lovers.
Group: Equus
Discussion: Should horse slaughtering resume in the U.S.?
So where are 2000 horses a week going to go?….that would be placing 40 horses every week in every state…..assuming an even distribution. Hawaii and Alaska probably don't have that big an unwanted horse problem but other states have much more. Where would 40 extra horses that no one but the kill buyer is even interested in be going in your state each and every week? What is set up to absorb these, rehab the ones that can be and dispose of or permanently place those that can't? Funding? Location? Transportation? Health care? Farrier care? Feed supply? Labor? Waste management? Security? 40 this week, 40 next week, 40 the week after and the week after that….?
Have you read the suggested/proposed "Do Not Slaughter" registry idea with United Horsemen? It would provide anyone anytime in a horses life the opportunity to enroll the horse in an ID program using probably iris scanning (more accurate, quicker, less invasive and not removable (unless someone were to enucleate the horse's eyes)) rather than microchips for ID. There would be a cost….the cost of doing the original scan plus the cost of maintaining records and the cost of having matching scanning equipment at any slaughter facility (fewer of them than of sales yards so less overall expense to have it done at the slaughter facility intake than at sales yards…..3-4-5 pieces of equipment rather than several hundred) has to be covered in some way. All horses going into a slaughter facility to be scanned (takes only a second or two and the horse doesn't even have to hold still) and those that come up as being enrolled pulled and have the enrolling person contacted for the option of retrieving the horse (even if it was several owners back)….or the enrollment could move with the horse if it were to be sold to a new owner. Owners would bear the cost and the responsibility of ID scanning and enrollment if they wished to keep a horse from slaughter. AQHA also has a program allowing for breeders/former owners to be contacted if a current owner is unable to keep a horse. The problem with microchips are that there are several brands and the scanners are apparently not universal AND microchips have been known to wander from their placement or be removed. The iris scan technology is newer and less subject to problems.

Kyrgyzstan is poor in just about every natural resource except water. It happens to sit at the source of most of Central Asia's supply of the wet stuff - but this year has been a particularly dry one, and the rumblings may already be beginning.
With water and mountainous terrain, hydro electricity was a no-brainer of course - but with the Toktogul resevoir drying up, that's a two-fer in terms of resource shocks.
The huge, obviously inefficient gas- or elecricity-powered heating systems in urban and rural housing and in public buildings - nothing more than 3-5 inch pipes running along the walls - were a stark contrast to the energy issues plaguing this country. Mains electricity supply comes and goes. Other energy sources are prohibitively expensive in this land-locked country - forget about solar, heating oil, gas and petroleum are almost completely imported, along with the generators that would burn them.
Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan import Kyrgyz water and export gas and oil respectively - and tensions are always simmering. Mirgul, my translator, says Uzbekistan's president recently complained that water comes from God and should be free, whereas gas is pumped out by man, very expensivley at that.
Add to this summer temperatures of 30-40 degrees Celsius, versus -20 to -30 in the winter - I can barely get my tropical, coastal-dwelling head around the problems racking up for this country.

Unanswered: Import a full doc (RTF or text) into Access
I have a set of files, that I would like to import into Access 2007.
The table looks lile:
ID - autonum
title: text
body: memo (RTF)
For each file in a directory,
insert into table:
title = file name less extension (eg: 'my file name.txt' would be be 'my file name' )
body = contents of document

If you want to store the file in a table field, you need an OLE Object field. The memo field only stores text.
Broadly speaking there are three ways of referencing word processing files in Access:
1. Insert the file into an OLE field.
2. Read the contents of the file into a memo field
3. Record the location of the file in a memo field. The file can be opened using the default programme.
Option 1 requires a lot of space. Access has a 2GB file limit & so big databases like SQL Server or Oracle would be better places to insert file objects. If you absolutely have to.
Option 2 means you loose any formatting in the original document because you're only importing the text.
Option 3 is the simplest approach.
What do yo want to do?

Thank you!!
I have Access 2007, so I have set the Memo field to 'RTF' so it keeps the formatting...
I cut-n-pasted one file and it works really well (including hyperlinks), but I have hundreds of files to import..
The files are generally formatted as:
paragraph 'n'
When I have tried to import a file manually, the import process created a record for each paragraph, including a row for the space between paragraphs.. what I am looking for is the entire file in one record...

I designed this routine (http://www.dbforums.com/6433357-post94.html) to automatically import all the excel files in a folder into the mdb. I guess you could change it for word docs.
I usually prefer to just use the shell command to open a specific word document in MSWord versus trying to import it, save it in a table, or embedd it into a form.Expert Database Programming

I'm with PKStormy on using Shell to open files. I've attached an example that uses an Open File dialogue box to allow the user to select their files and record the file paths. The form displays pseudohyperlinks you can double-click on to open the files using shell. Enter a few new records and see what you think...

Import a full doc (RTF or text) into Access
Thanks PKStormy -
I downloaded your DB from your earlier post...it looks quite promising..
First let me disclose - I am not a developer
But I am getting an error when trying to import an excel file using the DB.
I have Access2007 on WinXP Pro SP3. The XLS files are Excel 2003 format (not .docx)
I have attached a snapshot of the error message... have you seen this?
Also, I am not sure what you mean by "I usually prefer to just use the shell command to open a specific word document in MSWord versus trying to import it, save it in a table, or embedd it into a form."
Thanks in advance

It hasn't been tested on 2007. It could be that it's looking for *.xls (or different type) files but maybe 2007 doesn't use the FileSearch command like 2003 does. You may have to tweek the code for 2007 or see my last comments in this post.
Look up help on shell.
Shell "WinWord.exe c:\myDocs\MyWordDoc.doc" will open your document in Word.
As MyNewFlavor pointed out, there's ways to automate importing file names into a table (I do this also with the MainMenu example in the code bank.)
You'll have to do some testing to see which method works best for you and 2007.
Also check for folder names with spaces/odd characters. This often throws off ANY automated importing routine. A sub folder could also throw off the code. I'd recommend copying (only) all your excel files to a folder called something simple like: C:\MyExcelImport

I hope thread resurrection isn't too highly frowned on here, but this seems to be the closest topic to what I'm trying to do.
As below, I have a bunch of RTF files, and I want to display both their content (text) and formatting in a textbox on my form. I can't just cut & paste the data, because the source files may (probably will) change in the future. So what I would like to do is, during runtime, have VBA pull the contents of an RTF file into a (RichText) Memo field, so that it can be then displayed in a (RichText) textbox. What would be the correct code/syntax to accomplish this?
When I do this:
txtTest.ControlSource = "C:\DB\testrtf.rtf"
P.S. I tried to open pkstormy's file that was linked to above, but the ZIP file gave me an error. I suspect that some of the code there may be helpful, but I can't seem to get to it.
