These appeals arise from separate actions brought by the plaintiffs, Frank Gerardi and Stephen Vitka, against the defendants, their employer, the city of Bridgeport (city), and Brian P. Rooney, the fire chief of the city, challenging the defendants' effort to discipline the plaintiffs, who are city fire inspectors, for improper job performance, which was detected through the defendants' use of global positioning system devices (GPS devices) without the plaintiffs' knowledge. The plaintiffs now appeal
The record reveals the following undisputed facts and procedural history. As city fire inspectors, the plaintiffs' duties included inspecting buildings located throughout the city for compliance with applicable fire codes. The city provided the plaintiffs with city owned vehicles to use in the performance of their duties. In May, 2007, the city acquired new vehicles, and, without advising the plaintiffs, installed GPS devices in each of the vehicles in order to monitor electronically the fire inspectors' movement and location while the vehicles were in use. After monitoring the plaintiffs' activities through the use of the GPS devices and examining the information gathered by the devices, the city brought disciplinary actions against the plaintiffs relating to the performance of their duties. The plaintiffs then brought the actions underlying these appeals. They alleged that the defendants had violated General Statutes § 31-48d,
The defendants thereafter filed motions to dismiss both actions, claiming that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the claims because the plaintiffs had failed to exhaust the available administrative
On appeal, the plaintiffs claim that, in granting the defendants' motions to dismiss, the trial court improperly concluded that § 31-48d did not apply to the plaintiffs because the defendants' electronic monitoring of the plaintiffs did not take place on the employer's premises as required under § 31-48d(a)(3). That conclusion led the trial court to dismiss both actions because, in the absence of an independent statutory cause of action, the plaintiffs could not rely on § 31-51bb to excuse their failure to exhaust administrative remedies. The plaintiffs also contend, therefore, that the trial court improperly concluded that they did not exhaust their administrative remedies because the plaintiffs do satisfy the requirements of § 31-51bb. In response, the defendants assert that the trial court properly dismissed the plaintiffs' complaints for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because § 31-48d does not establish a private cause of action for violations of the statute. The plaintiffs, in turn, claim that this court should not consider what is, in effect, an alternate ground to affirm because it was not raised in the trial court.
We first set forth certain procedures applicable to alternate grounds for affirmance. Practice Book § 63-4(a)(1) provides in relevant part: "If any appellee wishes to (A) present for review alternate grounds upon which the judgment may be affirmed ... that appellee shall file a preliminary statement of issues within twenty days from the filing of the appellant's preliminary statement of the issues...." Practice Book § 60-5 also provides in relevant part that "[t]he court shall not be bound to consider a claim unless it was distinctly raised at the trial or arose subsequent to the trial...."
Although the defendants did not explicitly characterize this claim as an alternate ground for affirmance, they raised the claim in their briefs filed in this court and the plaintiffs had an adequate opportunity to respond, and did so, in their reply briefs. "Given the fact that neither party would be prejudiced by our doing so, we treat [this claim] as if [it] had been properly raised as ... [an] alternate [ground] for affirmance...." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Stepney Pond Estates, Limited v. Monroe, 260 Conn. 406, 423 n. 19, 797 A.2d 494 (2002).
Moreover, the defendants' alternate ground for affirmance, that § 31-48d does not create a private right of action for a violation of that statute, implicates the trial court's subject matter jurisdiction, and therefore may be raised at any time during the proceedings. See, e.g., Coldwell Banker Manning Realty, Inc. v. Cushman & Wakefield of Connecticut, Inc., 293 Conn. 582, 610, 980 A.2d 819 (2009) (addressing alternate ground to affirm even though not
We begin our analysis by setting forth the appropriate standard of review. The resolution of these appeals requires us to interpret § 31-48d. "Well settled principles of statutory interpretation govern our review." Viera v. Cohen, 283 Conn. 412, 420-21, 927 A.2d 843 (2007). This issue presents a question of statutory interpretation over which our review is plenary. See, e.g., Burton v. Commissioner of Environmental Protection, 291 Conn. 789, 798, 970 A.2d 640 (2009). "When construing a statute, [o]ur fundamental objective is to ascertain and give effect to the apparent intent of the legislature.... In other words, we seek to determine, in a reasoned manner, the meaning of the statutory language as applied to the facts of [the] case, including the question of whether the language actually does apply.... In seeking to determine that meaning, General Statutes § 1-2z directs us first to consider the text of the statute itself and its relationship to other statutes. If, after examining such text and considering such relationship, the meaning of such text is plain and unambiguous and does not yield absurd or unworkable results, extratextual evidence of the meaning of the statute shall not be considered.... When a statute is not plain and unambiguous, we also look for interpretive guidance to the legislative history and circumstances surrounding its enactment, to the legislative policy it was designed to implement, and to its relationship to existing legislation and common law principles governing the same general subject matter...." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Windels v. Environmental Protection Commission, 284 Conn. 268, 294-95, 933 A.2d 256 (2007).
In response to the defendants' claim that § 31-48d does not provide a cause of action for a violation of that statute, the plaintiffs do not assert that § 31-48d expressly provides for such a private cause of action. Instead, the plaintiffs claim only that the language of § 31-48d does not prohibit a private cause of action under that statute. We therefore must determine whether there is an implied cause of action in § 31-48d.
"We begin our analysis with the well settled fundamental premise that there exists a presumption in Connecticut that private enforcement does not exist unless expressly provided in a statute. In order to overcome that presumption, the [plaintiffs bear] the burden of demonstrating that such an action is created implicitly in the statute." Provencher v. Enfield, 284 Conn. 772, 777-78, 936 A.2d 625 (2007). "In determining whether a private remedy is implicit in a statute not expressly providing one, several factors are relevant. First, is the plaintiff one of the class for whose ... benefit the statute was enacted... ? Second, is there any indication of legislative intent, explicit or implicit, either to create such a remedy or to deny one?... Third, is it consistent with the underlying purposes of the legislative scheme to imply such a remedy for the plaintiff?" (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Napoletano v. CIGNA Healthcare of Connecticut,
"Consistent with the dictates of ... § 1-2z, however, we do not go beyond the text of the statute and its relationship to other statutes unless there is some textual evidence that the legislature intended, but failed to provide expressly, a private right of action. Textual evidence that would give rise to such a question could include, for example, language granting rights to a discrete class without providing an express remedy or language providing a specific remedy to a class without expressly delineating the contours of the right....
"Finally, we note that [i]n examining [the three Napoletano] factors, each is not necessarily entitled to equal weight. Clearly, these factors overlap to some extent with each other, in that the ultimate question is whether there is sufficient evidence that the legislature intended to authorize [these plaintiffs] to bring a private cause of action despite having failed expressly to provide for one.... Therefore, although the [plaintiffs] must meet a threshold showing that none of the three factors weighs against recognizing a private right of action, stronger evidence in favor of one factor may form the lens through which we determine whether the [plaintiffs] satisf[y] the other factors. Thus, the amount and persuasiveness of evidence supporting each factor may vary, and the court must consider all evidence that could bear on each factor. It bears repeating, however, that the [plaintiffs] must meet the threshold showing that none of the three factors weighs against recognizing a private right of action....
"The stringency of the test is reflected in the fact that, since this court decided Napoletano, we have not recognized an implied cause of action despite numerous requests."
We turn now to the explicit, operative language of § 31-48d(b)(1), which establishes a new obligation on the part of an employer: "[E]ach employer who engages in any type of electronic monitoring shall give prior written notice to all employees who may be affected, informing them of the types of monitoring which may occur. Each employer shall post, in a conspicuous place which is readily available for viewing by its employees, a notice concerning the types of electronic monitoring which the employer may engage in. Such posting shall constitute such prior written notice." Thus, the language of the statute imposes on an employer a statutory requirement to notify employees of the existence of any
The first prong of the Napoletano test is whether the plaintiffs are within the class of persons intended to be protected by the statute. An "`[e]mployee'" is defined in the statute as "any person who performs services for an employer in a business of the employer, if the employer has the right to control and direct the person as to (A) the result to be accomplished by the services, and (B) the details and means by which such result is accomplished...." General Statutes § 31-48d (a)(2). An "`[e]mployer'" is defined as "any person, firm or corporation, including the state and any political subdivision of the state which has employees...." General Statutes § 31-48d (a)(1). As fire inspectors employed by the city, the plaintiffs are clearly within the class of persons who were intended to be protected by the statute if the statute is applicable to electronic monitoring in employer owned vehicles, an issue we need not decide for purposes of this analysis. Accordingly, the plaintiffs have satisfied the first prong of the Napoletano test.
The second Napoletano factor is whether there is any indication, express or implied, of the legislature's intent to create or to deny a private cause of action. We therefore must consider the text of § 31-48d and its relationship to the broader statutory scheme. The most pertinent portion of the statute for purposes of this analysis is subsection (c), which provides: "The Labor Commissioner may levy a civil penalty against any person that the commissioner finds to be in violation of subsection (b) of this section, after a hearing conducted in accordance with sections 4-176e to 4-184, inclusive. The maximum civil penalty shall be five hundred dollars for the first offense, one thousand dollars for the second offense and three thousand dollars for the third and each subsequent offense." General Statutes § 31-48d(c). This subsection of the statute, which is the only portion that addresses violations of the statute, authorizes the state labor commissioner to levy civil penalties for violations of the statute after a hearing conducted in accordance with General Statutes §§ 4-176e to 4-184. Sections 4-176e to 4-184, which are sections of the Uniform Administrative Procedure Act, establish procedures for administrative agency hearings.
Nothing in § 31-48d(c) entitles employees who have been subjected to electronic monitoring without notice to any specific relief or remedy. Indeed, the statute does not even provide a mechanism by which an employee can report its employer to the labor commissioner for having violated the statute. Nor does § 31-48d provide any other administrative remedy for the employee. Instead, the statute provides solely for a penalty that the labor commissioner can impose once a violation of the section has been determined through an administrative hearing. Section 31-48d(c) therefore clearly delegates all powers related to violations of this statute to the labor commissioner. Accordingly, we conclude that the legislature intended the enforcement mechanism of § 31-48d to be limited to proceedings before the labor commissioner, and not to allow employees to bring civil actions. See Eder Bros., Inc. v. Wine Merchants of Connecticut, Inc., supra, 275 Conn. at 373-74, 880 A.2d 138 (rejecting plaintiffs' claim of private right of action under Liquor Control Act when act delegates all enforcement authority exclusively to department of consumer protection).
Finally, we note that if the legislature had intended to provide the private remedy of a civil cause of action for enforcement of § 31-48d, it easily could have added
We conclude, therefore, that the plaintiffs have failed to satisfy the second prong of the Napoletano test, and, further, that this failure is fatal to the plaintiffs' claim that § 31-48d implicitly establishes a private cause of action authorizing the plaintiffs to bring an action for a violation of the statute. See Provencher v. Enfield, supra, 284 Conn. at 786, 936 A.2d 625 (concluding that plaintiff's failure to meet second prong of Napoletano test was fatal to his claim). Accordingly, we affirm the judgments of the trial court on the alternate ground that the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction because, in the absence of a private right of action under § 31-48d, the plaintiffs must exhaust the administrative remedies included in the collective bargaining agreement before bringing a civil action.
The judgments are affirmed.
In this opinion the other justices concurred.
"(c) The Labor Commissioner may levy a civil penalty against any person that the commissioner finds to be in violation of subsection (b) of this section, after a hearing conducted in accordance with sections 4-176e to 4-184, inclusive. The maximum civil penalty shall be five hundred dollars for the first offense, one thousand dollars for the second offense and three thousand dollars for the third and each subsequent offense...."

Behind the Scenes
On the Waterfront 1954
Director Elia Kazan said the film-about violence on New Jersey docks-reflected reality. "There were gangsters watching me shoot the picture." The key was Marlon Brando, because "he is a super-realistic actor."

Director Jerome Robbins told his cast to act like rival gang members. "He wanted the Sharks to stay over there," star George Chakiris later said, "and the Jets to stay over there."
The Silence of the Lambs 1991
What made Hannibal Lecter so scary? Anthony Hopkins has said it was the serial killer's quiet simplicity: "That face mask he wears and that gurney they put him on ... it's so terrifying because it's all very clinical and clean."

I want a Sunday Kind of Love....
Independent, modern day woman with traditional values in search of old fashioned love.... I would like to find a clean cut, down to earth guy who values true commitment. Friends consider me fun, adventurous, caring, intelligent and dependable. Maybe after reading through my profile, you will want to find out for yourself... I really enjoy cooking and look forward to finding a special someone to share time with in the kitchen and to enjoy a nice dinner and a bottle of wine with. I am active, and enjoy running, going to sporting events, working out and generally being outdoors. It would be great to find a partner to share those things with, and to learn about things that he likes too. I'm pretty open minded and wouldn't mind trying out any activity that you suggest, unless it makes me fear for my life! Traveling is something that I also love to do and I've been fortunate to do quite a bit of, but there are many more places on my list.....That's the one thing that this modern, independent woman still can't get used to doing alone. In terms of the type of partner I'm hoping for, honesty and dependability are the traits that I value most. These days, I don't think we find a lot of that. If you say what you think and do what you say, then definitely, one thing may lead to another ;-) Thanks for reading my profile, if you want to know more, all you have to do is ask......

Page Two: Jan. 18-24; They Have Mojo, Or Money Or Crossed Fingers
By Diane Cardwell
Published: January 25, 2004
THE campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination reaches a crucial stage Tuesday in the New Hampshire primary. Can Howard Dean rebound from his third-place finish in Iowa? Can Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts and Senator John Edwards of North Carolina, the first- and second-place finishers in Iowa, stay on a roll? Can Senator Joseph I. Lieberman and Gen. Wesley K. Clark gain a foothold?
Here is the current outlook for the five major candidates:
Strengths: Has made inroads among independent voters, a potent swing block in New Hampshire, and his vague goal of doing ''better than expected'' means a weak finish does not necessarily spell sudden death. Primaries quickly move to the South and West, where his national security credentials and moderate, value-driven campaign may play better to a more conservative electorate.
Weaknesses: His campaign was overshadowed by the Iowa contest, which he sat out. His centrist theme and placid style has so far failed to excite primary voters, and many of them seem to be looking to General Clark and Senators Edwards and Kerry as their Dean alternative. A lack of money makes it difficult to counter an expected ad blitz from better-financed rivals, especially in the Feb. 3 primaries.

The Gibson
2009 14th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20009
Nearby Metro Stops: U Street/African-American Civil War Memorial/Cardozo
Happy Hour Details:
Various cocktail specials.
Behind an unmarked door lies this dimly lit hideaway, opened in 2008 at the front end of the speakeasy trend. Service can be aloof at best, dismissive at worst (the latter tends to be the case on weekends), but what the place lacks in pleasantries it makes up for in expertly made cocktails and a seductive mood. Flickering candles, plush booths, and loungey jazz fill the space, which attracts a fashionable crowd eager to sip classic martinis, fizzes, and sours. Reservations are key, especially on weekends, because standing isn't permitted. Want something off-menu? Just ask—the bartenders are happy to share their latest libation. Insider tip: Unlike most "underground" bars, the Gibson has a 40-seat back patio, where in warmer months you'll find old-school blender creations such as Hurricanes. Open daily.

Yet again, experts have offered some insight into the motivations of professionals in the region. But Kipp thinks they may just be trying to make employers feel better.
October 27, 2010 3:28 by shafeer
Local recruitment experts have told Emirates 24-7 that a good salary does not necessarily guarantee loyalty from employees.
"An excellent compensation package will help you to initially attract better employees, but retaining them has far more to do with management style and company culture," says Cliff Single, Commercial Manager of BAC Middle East.
Konstantina Sakellariou, a Dubai-based Partner, Marketing & Operations Director at Stanton Chase International, says, "[Monetary benefits] may just keep an employee satisfied, or, if the remuneration is high, it may make it more difficult for the executive to move out of the company. But company culture, future growth opportunities and recognition within the company are for sure more important elements and build long-term relationships within a company."
The article goes on to say that cash is just part of a wider equation; that the equation varies depending on an employee's level; that it's different for every individual… ('Yada Yada,' to steal from Seinfeld).
So why the big headline? Kipp gets the feeling these recruitment experts are trying to make employers (a key part of their client base) feel better about being unable to pay more.
"It's okay," they say, gently stroking the employer's sleeve. "It doesn't matter that your budget is decimated and you are paying well below market rate. What matters is that you're a good person."
Let them say that, but Kipp prefers a more honest appraisal. In this environment, money is just about the only thing that can buy loyalty. That, and stability. People have had a massive adjustment to make in the last two years; all notions of security and confidence have been decimated. Right now people are thinking of their homes and families and their futures. The new mantra for any practical person in the work place is, therefore, stability and salary; provide that and you can count on loyalty for some years yet.
We concede it is true, there is wisdom in the old saying that people leave managers and not companies. But that has little to do with a sense of loyalty, and more to do with personal differences. If you want to avoid that scenario as an employer, all you need to do is be professional, respectful, and communicative. That's all an employee needs from the boss.
That, and the big, regular paycheck.
So if you can't provide a big pay day, concentrate on the stability of your company when dealing with prospective employees. They may take a modest reliable paycheck over no paycheck at all.
Oh and one more thought: Don't sweat your employee loyalty too much. Employees know that if it came to it, you'd drop them in an instant if you had too – consequently their sense of loyalty will only ever go so far.
What do you think? What would ensure your loyalty?

The GPL is "viral" in that if you use even a smattering of GPLed code, you are required to release ALL of your code as GPL as well.
Not true. Go back and re-read the GPL. You are required to release your code under a license that places no more restrictions on it than the GPL. You must also license the combined work under the GPL. It is, however, completely fine to take a few files of GPL'd code, combine them with some BSDL'd code files (as long as those files are not a derived work of the GPL'd code) and ship the resulting program under the GPL. If someone else takes only the BSDL'd files for use in another project then they are not bound by the GPL.
There are two ways in which the GPL is 'viral'. The first is that you cannot change the license of something that you do not own, so any derived works retain the copyright and license of the original. The second is that the GPL is a distribution license and, if you wish to retain the right to distribute it, then you must not distribute it in a way that does not pass on the freedoms listed in the license (meaning that the combined work must grant all of the permissions as the GPL'd parts).

If they were being pushed out of land they owned, you might have a point.
The problem is when the initial conditions are concentrated ownership. If the hypothetical impoverished country has a feudal system (or similar) where all of the land is owned by a few dozen lords. Now the Americans going over there buy land from the lord in relatively small parcels, allowing him to turn his wealth into liquid form and removing the land that his serfs lived on. So what do the serfs do? They didn't own the land and they're now displaced. They weren't lucky enough to be born owning land so they get nothing.
It's not like most of the people in the original poster's example chose not to own a house. They rent because they didn't inherit enough wealth to own somewhere to live.

"Smart pointers" are great -- if you don't care about performance (in which case, why are you not using Java?). If the object is owned by one thread, it's just sloppy to put in the overhead of smart pointers to make your life easy.
If an object has a single unique owner, then std::unique_ptr has no run-time overhead and will ensure that the object is correctly deleted even in the presence of exceptions. I agree with the grandparent: any object that isn't allocated on the stack should be created with std::make_shared or std::make_unique.

And then only if backed up by realistic macrobenchmarks. There are a lot of things in C++ that have interesting performance characteristics (templates allow more inlining, so make microbenchmarks faster but can cause you to run out of i-cache and make the whole program slower, virtual functions prevent inlining unless the compiler can do devirtualisation, but are actually slightly faster to call than cross-library calls via a PLT if they're not inlined). Generally, algorithmic improvements will make a bigger difference than any language feature. The main reason for using templates should be to eliminate copy-and-paste coding, not to improve performance.

text: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 - Decanted 1 hr. ahead. Deep ruby color. Very nice nose with a package of aromas including hard spices, rhubarb, black cherries, tea notes. Delicious flavors that combine plum, cherry, and leather in a medium body with moderately firm acidity. Neither soft nor tart, a sweet spot. Finishes nicely with a bit of grip, licorice notes, and velvety tannins that are light but present. This is a consistently excellent bottle of vino, full of flavors and aromas in a well-balanced package; it might be even better after a couple of years. And, at $21 one of the best QPRs in CA. One needs to acquire this wine.Post a Comment / View VeniceCalif's profile

However, if you really want to give your long-term relationship staying power, give a little extra effort in the bedroom: bring in some sex toys if she wants (or if you want); bring on the whips and chains; or pour some candle wax.

Thank Heaven for tag clean-up
Relevant offers
The streets of East Auckland are cleaner thanks to Constable Darrin Heaven.
The Meadowlands community cop has apprehended seven teenagers since an outbreak of tagging started around the Somerville shops in April last year.
The youths are accused of tagging 500 square metres with paint, pens and etching, costing the community $20,000 to remove and repair.
"It was getting very quickly out of hand," Mr Heaven says.
"The investigation was a bit like pulling a thread out of a jumper - once you start pulling it just keeps on going and going and going."
His inquiries gathered speed towards the end of 2012 but are not finished.
"We've still got four or five guys that we will be visiting.
"Wander in and be dealt with fairly and promptly or lie there and wait for us to come and knock," he says.
Four of the suspects were under 17 at the time of the incident and are being dealt with by the youth aid system while the older teenagers are being put through the courts.
The youngest four are from Howick and the older ones from the wider East Auckland area.
One of the older teens is charged with intentional damage with more than 150 tags representing $15,000 of damage.
The maximum penalty for tagging is up to seven years' imprisonment but this is reserved for the most serious and prolific offenders who find themselves constantly before the courts.
Mr Heaven says the teenagers were caught "using a bit of old-fashioned policing" including tips from the public, cameras and "people telling us what they know".
He was also helped by graffiti specialist Sergeant Ian Pengelly and a joint police and Auckland Council database of tags.
"Just because you are not caught right at that time with the spray can in your hand doesn't mean that you are not going to get caught."
Mr Heaven says tagging can be a gateway offence.
He is "very confident" a tagger is responsible for some of the arson around Somerville last year but "not so confident" the same person is behind all of them.
"It starts off as tagging and expands into more serious offending, which is why we are really quite keen to catch up with the young guys while they are still young and before they've embarked on a life of more serious crime that's really hard to come back from."
Mr Heaven encourages parents who think their children might be involved to talk with him.
Signs a young person might be offending include tags on exercise books and spray paint or marker pens hidden in their room.

Made me cry AGAIN. *applauds* Usually it isn't so easy to make me cry, so well done. :D
I love all the fight scenes, it was so exciting! Especially how absolutely awesome Lane with that little jump/kill the orcs move :D
I just watched the fellowship of the ring last night (for the first time)! So it was fun to read this with all the characters voices fresh in my mind.
| srade9779 chapter 2 . 3/29/2012
i liked this chapter :) i like the story so i thought i should review. Legolas falling of the cliff really got me by suprise
| Annonymous chapter 2 . 3/29/2012
Really love this story keep it up!
| PetalFall chapter 2 . 3/28/2012
Oh my god! What happens! Please tell meeeee! Ph my go how could you end a chapter like that. I'm so upset. Here I am sick and laying in bed rereading your whole story and you end the chapter like this! I'll be checking every day. My goodness I'm a crying little blob of jelly right now... I need you to write the next chapter. Then I'll get better! :D please!
| ResoluteShadow chapter 2 . 3/28/2012
woah. this is good. 1 question: Lane is smaller right? not like extremly thin, but not all burly?
| Verdani chapter 2 . 3/28/2012
It has been a long time since I have bothered to read a fanfic that isn't complete already. I started with the first of this series and found myself disappointed when it ended. It was only a few days later when you posted the first chapter of the second fic and I immediately read it! It is difficult to find fanfic writers that stick to it and even more so ones that at least try to have proper grammar and spelling. So keep up the good work! I can't wait for the next chapter!
| SnakeeyesGrl chapter 2 . 3/26/2012
Love this story!Ya know its a good story when you cant put it down and have to keep reading no matter what. And thats how I am with this wait for the next chapters! Wasnt expecting Legolas to go missing, its about time that girl got emotional. _
| Livia09 chapter 2 . 3/24/2012
Are you serious? Ok, I won't worry too much, because Aragorn and Legolas may have switched places and Lane will have him back soon enough, right? Oh please!
| ricochette chapter 2 . 3/23/2012
Wow! Reading the prequel to this basically got me through the most boring day ever at work. And the sequel? Just as great. I'm very weary of stories when it comes to Lord of the Rings, but you really hit the mark.
And honestly? Totally didn't see chapter 2 ending this way! I love the twists!
I can't wait for the next update. Keep up the great work.
| Lucy Greenhill chapter 2 . 3/23/2012
Hey! Great chapter! Can't wait for the next one! xoxo
| Laemeka chapter 2 . 3/22/2012
Ahhh! Great plot twist! I rather figured Lane needed something drastic to make her come to terms with her feelings. Of course Legolas will be ok...right?
Once again you've managed to create a logical course of events. Somehow you've found that fine line between making sure Lane's actions and thought process are reasonable yet what happens is surprising. So many stories I've read follow the movie or book so closely that they all just seem the same. You've taken just the right (in my opinion) amount of creative liberties to make it interesting without making it completely off the wall.
I also want to commend you for not retelling parts that aren't necessary. I figure most readers know the story enough from the books or movies that writers don't need to reiterate it near word for word. Still it's not uncommon for writers to seem to copy/paste excerpts. It's genuinely from your character's perspective (adding to it's realism), and I appreciate that.
I can't wait for Lane's reaction if/when she and Legolas are reunited. Hopefully they can get a little bit of a break before being separate yet again...

Just call him Blake un-incarcerated now! Amy Winehouse's estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil was released from prison today after serving quite a hefty sentence for assaulting a bar owner and then trying to cover it up.
Blake was greeted by his mother Georgette, who immediately hugged her son whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
The Sun got pictures of the two in an embrace, and Georgette brought Blake's signature hat with her, which he put on right away.
So where's Amy during all this? Well as a reminder, last we heard, she was house hunting in St. Lucia. A source even told People magazine:
"She doesn't need to come back to the U.K. for anything in particular. She will return at some point. But she's getting everything she needs to do done in St. Lucia at the moment."
She really did a 180 with being so obsessed with Blake, to not wanting anything to do with him. Kind of ironic now that he's out of prison, they're divorcing! But it was probably better for both of them in the long run. Enjoy your freedom, Blake! From jail and Amy!

5 Minutes 2 Show Time! How to Effectively Promote You
by RonSher Brooks
Monday, January 29, 2007 4:09:00 PM
by Bill Grimes Jr.
I can offer no rational explanation
For this trip I'll share with you
I dreamed of Christ's return
One sunny winter's day
Quite awestruck by the imagery
Stunning realism
It all began in a dentist chair
No offense intended
My dear Dr. Wall
A phobia slightly worse
Close second to my dread of dry heaves
A villainous stranger hovered over me
Forcing strange objects
Into my mouth and nose
Commotion erupted
Panic stricken folk
Terrified of the gigantic foreign planet
Burnt orange
Crater pocked
Hovering in the still and blackened sky
I leapt from the reclining torture rack
Bolted through the door
Once outside
Terror filled hysteria
Assorted blueprint folk
Desperately frenzied
Most seeking answers
Enigmatic apparition
I explained the book of Daniel
Sealed prophecies of coming mysteries
The moon appeared in the distance
Blood red
An ominous scarlet glow
I followed a spastic mob into a church
In process was a ritual
Bearded brown robed priests
Were shouting vague instructions
My instinct screamed blasphemy
As I sensed the nature of their deception
In haste I exited this evil trap
Found myself in a white row boat
An angel then appeared
A beautiful brunette maiden
"Stroke with all your might towards the light dear child" said she.
"Never look back"
"Ignore the orcas that surround you"
The skiff sliced through the ebony treacherous deep
The beacon grew quite brilliant
I heard the voice of my Savior
"Fear not my son, for I am with you"
"My kingdom you will share"
Indescribable peace
Filled my eager soul
I shouted encouragement to those around me
Many struggled as they sank
Beneath the briny sea
Have faith
Be strong said I……..your hope is drawing nigh.
I heard thousands pleading for forgiveness
Tears flowing down contorted cheeks
Plucked from the gloomy death
As their prayers of lamentation were swiftly answered
Millions shouted obscenities
Defiant as they met their doom
I soon arrived at a house of refuge
Similar to a hotel of mammoth stature
My room had a balcony
There I witnessed these unfolding miracles
In safety cloaked comfort
Ancient scriptures came to pass
Before my astounded eyes
The phone interrupted the stillness
Lucifer on the line
His tinny voice
Akin to a telemarketer
Hawking sales pitch
To dial into his vulgar web
As I slammed down the receiver
My son awakened me from this vision
Decide my cherished reader
Absorb my tale with however many grains of salt you wish
I believe this trance to be a sign
In proximity to our Kings return
Take heed
Act accordingly
Dismiss me
Or respond.
Is a personal choice
King James Version (KJV) Public Domain
17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: © Bill Grimes Jr. 2006

The Farce That Is Economics: Richard Feynman On The Social SciencesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/18/2014 11:33 -0400
"Because of the success of science, there is a kind of a pseudo-science. Social science is an example of a science which is not a science. They follow the forms. You gather data, you do so and so and so forth, but they don't get any laws, they haven't found out anything. They haven't got anywhere – yet. Maybe someday they will, but it's not very well developed. But what happens is, at an even more mundane level, we get experts on everything that sound like they are sort of scientific, expert. They are not scientists. They sit at a typewriter and they make up something like 'a food grown with a fertilizer that's organic is better for you than food grown with a fertilizer that is inorganic'. Maybe true, may not be true. But it hasn't been demonstrated one way or the other. But they'll sit there on the typewriter and make up all this stuff as if it's science and then become experts on foods, organic foods and so on. There's all kinds of myths and pseudo-science all over the place."

The IMF And Austrian TheorySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/17/2014 19:00 -0400
Nobody in the economic intelligentsia is implying that the IMF is staffed by paranoid cranks. They continue to ignore and belittle the Austrian school. This pompous and undeserved behavior will go on until it's too late. In the process, the ivory tower disciples of Keynes will only further prove their intellectual bankruptcy. The average person never trusted them to begin with. And things certainly won't change now.

Paul [Krugman] will continue to be mostly wrong, mostly dishonest about it, incredibly rude, and in a crass class by himself."

French Nobel-Prize Winning Economist Slams "Big State" Socialism: "Not Enough Money To Pay For It"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/14/2014 19:30 -0400
One would think: i) French + ii) economist + iii) Nobel prize winner = the French version of Paul Krugman, which immediately means someone who exists in a permament state of eternal hubris and confused shock at the endless stupidity of all those others who (have a functioning frontal cortext and thus) fail to recognize his brilliance (hence, are capable of rational thought), whose only explanation for the failure of all his promoted policies is that not enough, never enough of them was attempted, and that, like a good socialist, the only thing better than a massive government apparatus is an infinite government apparatus, coupled with 10 Princeton economists sitting in a circle, chanting and micromanaging the world, the economy and the capital markets.
One would be wrong.

Gold Is "Universally Acceptable" and Why China Is Buying - GreenspanSubmitted by GoldCore on 10/02/2014 02:07 -0400
The Council on Foreign Relations may be concerned about the ramifications of China accumulating larger gold reserves than those that the U.S. has and the People's Bank of China (PBOC) giving the yuan some form of gold backing. This would pose serious challenges to the dollar as global reserve currency and thus to U.S. hegemony.

We Are Living In A State Of Keynesian "Bliss"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/21/2014 21:22 -0400
Back in 1930, Keynes looked out into the future and saw that with the proper management of the economy, monetary policy and the like, the world could attain a type of utopian stasis: Keynes expected growth to come to an end within two to three generations, and the economy to plateau. He referred to this imaginary state of equilibrium as "bliss," noting "thus for the first time since his creation man will be faced with his real, his permanent problem - how to use his freedom from pressing economic cares, how to occupy the leisure, which science and compound interest will have won for him, to live wisely and agreeably and well." However, Keynes did say this would happen if mankind avoided any calamitous wars and if there was no appreciable increase in population. Two more flawed base assumptions there could not have been.

Paul Krugman: "We'll Only Feel Prosperous During Bubble Periods"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/10/2014 20:30 -0400
While hardly able to match the wit, sophistry or, allegedly, satire of yesterday's MarketWatch grandslam in market insight "Why This Stock Market Will Never Go Down", we are confident readers will enjoy the following interview from none other than the Nobel prize winner in Keynesianomics, Paul Krugman, who in this interview with Princeton Magazine, had some comments on bubbles, inflation, student loans, minimum wages, artificially low rates, the Fed's dual mandate, and, of all things, Bitcoin.

The Lesser Depression: How Bubble Finance Has Deformed The Jobs CycleSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2014 22:21 -0400
The term "jobless recovery" is itself an oxymoron since the main function of any economic advance is to broaden participation. Thus a "jobless recovery" is nothing of the sort, indicating more so the re-arranging of numbers rather than full achievement – the hallmarks of redistribution.
As financialism spreads, so does disharmony, not just in function but in breaking correlations among economic accounts and statistics that were once seemingly so unconquerable.

The Fed And Mr. Krugman: The Price Of NutsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/06/2014 20:02 -0400
Google "grocery prices last 12 months" and it's post after post beginning with "Consumer prices rise" or "Rising food prices bite." One person who is happy about this is the New York Times' Paul Krugman, for instead of being like Europe, that is "clearly in the grip of a deflationary vortex," America only teeters on the edge of a general price plunge. "And there but for the grace of Bernanke go we," writes the voice of Grey Lady economics wisdom. However, Mr. Krugman shouldn't declare defeat to the deflationists just yet. Bankers are learning to say 'yes' again, and that means velocity and price increases.

Employers Aren't Just Whining: The "Skills Gap" Is RealSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/29/2014 19:13 -0400
What is hard to measure is often hard to manage. Employers using new technologies need to base hiring decisions not just on education, but also on the non-cognitive skills that allow some people to excel at learning on the job; they need to design pay structures to retain workers who do learn, yet not to encumber employee mobility and knowledge sharing, which are often key to informal learning; and they need to design business models that enable workers to learn effectively on the job (see this example). Policy makers also need to think differently about skills, encouraging, for example, industry certification programs for new skills and partnerships between community colleges and local employers. Although it is difficult for workers and employers to develop these new skills, this difficulty creates opportunity. Those workers who acquire the latest skills earn good pay; those employers who hire the right workers and train them well can realize the competitive advantages that come with new technologies.

"Rather than trying to spur private-sector spending through asset purchases or interest-rate changes, central banks, such as the Fed, should hand consumers cash directly.... Central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken aggressive action, consistently lowering interest rates such that today they hover near zero. They have also pumped trillions of dollars' worth of new money into the financial system. Yet such policies have only fed a damaging cycle of booms and busts, warping incentives and distorting asset prices, and now economic growth is stagnating while inequality gets worse. It's well past time, then, for U.S. policymakers -- as well as their counterparts in other developed countries -- to consider a version of Friedman's helicopter drops. In the short term, such cash transfers could jump-start the economy... The transfers wouldn't cause damaging inflation, and few doubt that they would work. The only real question is why no government has tried them"...

Tony Orlando 'Ties a Yellow Ribbon' at the Gallo Center for the Arts, 3/29
Pop star Tony Orlando, who recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of his hit recording, "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Ole Oak Tree," will make his debut performance at the Gallo Center for the Arts at 8 pm on Friday, March 29.
Tickets for concert range in price from $19 to $69, and may be purchased online at GalloArts.org, by phone at (209) 338-2100, or at the Gallo Center ticket office, 1000 I Street in downtown Modesto. Organized groups of 15 people or more receive a 15% discount on ticket prices. Group sales information is available by calling (209) 338-5032.
Known for a high-energy stage presence, Orlando's career began with a demo record for a song titled "Candida." Unknown to him, it was released under the name of the record promotion director's daughter, Dawn. The song reached number one on the charts. Dawn followed up with "Knock Three Times," which sold six million copies and was the top song of 1971.
But it was "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Ole Oak Tree," released in 1973, which propelled Tony Orlando and the other members of the trio, Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent Wilson, to even greater heights. The top selling record of that year, it would go on to become an anthem of homecoming and reunion, with yellow ribbons becoming a symbol that welcomed home prisoners of war from Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, the Iranian hostages and troops returning from war zones.
Other hits followed, including "Sweet Gypsy Rose" and "He Don't Love You." Tony Orlando and Dawn also starred in the first multi-ethnic variety show on television. Orlando, of Hispanic and Greek origins, and Hopkins and Wilson, African Americans, enjoyed a four-year run (1974 - 1976) on CBS.
Orlando has since appeared on Broadway, in "Barnum" and "Smokey Joe's Café," and since 1993 he has been a resident of Branson, Missouri, where he has performed more than 2,000 shows. Orlando has been named Branson's Entertainer and Vocalist of the Year.
