Mizuno MP-630 Fast Track Driver
Slightly open at address, with powerful pear shaped profile and thumping feedback, the
MP-630 FAST TRACK inspires imagination from the tee. While designed to suit the eye of stronger players, the shallower design and 445cc size will attract a broad range of abilities.
Fiery ball speeds ignited by a HOT METAL Ti9 face are converted into optimized yardage using Mizunos FAST TRACK adjustable weight tracks. Two 8 gram sliding weights can be quickly re-located in 10 different points, creating a total of 45 finely tuned flight patterns. With weights set closer to the face, spin rates can be reduced for faster ball speeds, with a drop of around 400rpm achievable.
The ingenious system can also be quickly adjusted to create both a draw and fade bias. Weights set towards the toe positions, encourage the clubface to lag for a left to right flight. Conversely, weights moved into the heel allow the clubface to rotate for a right to left shape.

Fragmented thoughts and delirium
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Squee so excited I found some bones <3 and rail spikes along some tracks I was exploring the other day. I need to go back to the site so I can find more of the bones and perhaps complete the skull and maybe skeleton (I was being devoured by mosquitoes and called it quits after the 20th bite). I'm not quite sure what animal it is just by looking at the bones given but if you know reblog or pm lol. So far the best guess has been a skunk.
The second pic is a closer picture of what I believe are all skull fragments and also the couple pieces I put together…I really think I need to go back to the site I found these at and search for more because so much is missing idk if I can really put anything else together.

Lego Party
I made this giant lego mini figure cake….the feet are a dummy (8" square), the shirt and head were chocolate mud cake, and for the arms I made rice crispy treats. I have never made them before, and was really happy with how light they were, so perfect for something like this. I did struggle with how lumpy they were…so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Democrats are running against monsters. They are running to protect American women from the hostile, patriarchal, domineering men of the Republican Party. (Chivalry is not dead!)

Research degrees in economics at the University of Sheffield
PhD and MPhil postgraduate research in economics gives you the opportunity to deepen your interest in the subject by studying in an area of your choice. You will develop a broad range of research skills relevant to your subject area and this will equip you for a career in academic research or as a practising economist in the public or private sector.
These pages provide information on the opportunities available for postgraduate research in economics at the University of Sheffield, including the research interests of our staff. They also describe the general arrangements for research in the department and explain how you can make an application.
Studying for a research degree: programme structure
The department
The Department of Economics is one of only two remaining independent economics departments in the North of England and we have a well-established and successful postgraduate research programme.
Currently there are around 30 students studying for MPhil or PhD degrees in a wide range of topics. If you choose to study at Sheffield you will become part of this lively community and play a key role in the academic life of the department.
The Social Sciences DTC
The White Rose Doctoral Training Centre in Social Sciences comprises the universities of Sheffield, Leeds and York and was established in January 2011 with an investment from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) to provide a national training centre for postgraduate researchers in social sciences.
Various funding streams are available for new entrants to the PhD programme beginning their studies in September 2014:
Scholarships offer a full stipend for living expenses (in 2014-15 this was £13,863) plus fees at the appropriate rate.
There is a single application form for all of these scholarships. If you'd like to apply, please check your eligibility and indicate on the form which scholarship(s) you want to be considered for.
More about these postgraduate research scholarships
The closing date for all scholarship applications is 12 noon on 3 February 2014.
All applicants must have applied for a place as a PhD student in the department first, before they can apply for a scholarship. So if you'd like to apply for a scholarship, allow plenty of time to apply for a place on the PhD programme beforehand.

Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit SP1
Error Message when trying to add Printer
Hello -
I upgraded our Windows XP machines to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit SP1 machine.
On one machine, I cannot add printers - local or network.
The computer has a printer attached to it, via USB 2.0. Epson WorkForce Professional 645. I have installed the drivers, uninstalled them, downloaded drivers, all to no avail.
When I plug the printer in to the USB port (first time), Win says device was successfully installed. Yet when I go to print, it (printer) does not show up. I go to control panel, and "add a device/add printer" When I click on "Add Printer" I get the message:
"Windows can't open Add Printer. Access is Denied."
Since it is a local, attached printer, it has nothing to do with spooling.
I am logged in as an administrator.
I have not had this on any other computer ((total of 5 computers - all running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit SP1) all computers have a local attached printer connected via USB, as well as share a common network printer)

Welcome to Seven Forums sachin528. Sounds like perhaps a permissions issue. Have a look at the suggestion on this thread:
Look at reply by nothingsknower 1st
First step, you have to be able to open up the print server properties. There's probably several ways to get there, but I opened an elevated command prompt (non-elevated didn't work) and ran
RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /s
You should also be able to run this from the built-in administrators account. Note, there is a substantial difference between running this command as a built in administrator or a user-made administrator... UAC causes your user-made administrators to act as a standard user unless you specifically use their elevated token (like by creating an elevated command prompt)
Second, I went to the Security tab and added "Computername\Users" (substituting "Computername" with the name of my computer). Computername\Users were given the permission to "Print" and "View Server". No other permissions were granted to Computername\Users. Computername\Administrators had full permissions.
Pressed OK, logged out and back in. Printers were then visible again, and the Add Printer Wizard was again accessable.
The exact steps may not work for everyone, but it does appear the permissions here in the Print Server Properties is at the root at least one of the causes of the problem.

Continuation of 2 previous posts –
I have just come from a very busy two months of conferencing opportunities and have a bit of a breather before they begin again in late spring/early summer.
And as I listen to keynote speakers and presenters….I admit, I have become a bit of a snoot. It is not that I expect to be "entertained" but I do expect to be inspired, encouraged, motivated, and pushed a bit out of my comfort zone. (hopefully you feel the same)
So….as I, and many of my fellow audience attendees, are gearing up for upcoming conferences…..here are some suggestions for the selection committee….
1. Content is much more valuable than name
Perhaps it is just me, but I don't decide whether to attend a conference based on the keynote….(in fact, gasp, sometimes I don't even go to the keynote.)
So please don't let the NAME DROPPING FACTOR outweigh the importance of their content.
We want someone relevant….sincere…..thought-provoking….and enthusiastic for education…..not just a name we can brag that we heard.
2. Be diversified
Look for content but also be aware of your options.
There are very good women keynote speakers out there….yes there are.
There are very good keynote speakers that are NOT from North America.
There are very good keynote speakers who are not Caucasian.
There are very good keynote speakers who are ….. (you can fill in the blank.)
3. Be aware of the audience
You will never find any keynote speaker that is appreciated by all….but be aware that the people in the audience have a variety of differences and the keynote podium should NOT be a soapbox for the keynote's personal beliefs — just so they can nag on things.
Sharing your thoughts is respectable, alienating the audience due to your personal agenda is not.
4. Do not pay them to keynote JUST to promote their new book or product
Almost all the time, the keynote's bio will mention his/her book — as well as slides within their presentation…..but the keynote should not be the time to sell their book. Can they mention a few parts of their book — sure, that might be the reason they were chosen to present — but to go on and on and on about "what they did" is not keynote material.
5. Do NOT book a keynote speaker who is not willing to be streamed
The keynote speaker should be MORE than willing for their content to be offered beyond the auditorium…if they are not, look elsewhere.
6. Book the keynote speaker for 2 more hours AFTER the keynote
Too many keynote speakers fly in and fly out. They have a book signing and then POOF they are gone. Please extend the keynote's time by 2 hours for a question/answer time AFTER they keynote. Perhaps put them on a panel of others — so they are not now a bulls-eye — but extend the conversation. I, myself, often have questions and need some clarifications after the keynote and an immediate follow-up would be appreciated.
7. Have a place for resources
Provide an online location for the presenter to share their content….as soon as possible after the session/keynote.
8. Invite student voices!
We want to hear from students……We need to hear from students.
9. Have enough seats
or look back to suggestion 5.
There is nothing worse than walking to a keynote session and finding out that there is no room left.
This might be understandable for a session — but not the keynote. You know your expected audience count — so make sure you have the room OR
look back to suggestion 5 and have alternate locations posted.
10. Know that we appreciate your hard work
It is impossible to make everyone happy….but we know you really want to offer your attendees the best conference opportunity you can — and keynotes are an important part.
Know that even though we might not remember to say THANKS, we do thank you for working hard to make this conference a success for us.
Feel free to share your thoughts —
and go ahead and Name Drop some Keynote Speakers you think should be heard!
Thank you for extending the conversation.

Thanks again for your ideas – ICE has tried to keep these ideas in mind, but need to be reminded sometimes to check these off in our selection process.

OH Jen – you've steered ICE to some great new spotlight speakers in the past – so your suggestions would greatly be appreciated as well!

Hi Jen,
Your post is great advice and I hope conference conveners will take note. I disagree with you on the point about keynotes being willing to be streamed. In some (many) cases, keynoting is their livelihood and streaming means giving it away for free. There are also some cases where keynotes might share photos and work of students and although they may have permission to share, posting on the Internet is a different animal. By streaming, as you know, anyone can capture and you lose control of your content.
Our conference always includes a mix of people who are willing to be broadcast. There is the option of no broadcast, broadcast to public, broadcast within our closed system (out to schools) and/or recording and posting archive. Unfortunately, most keynotes do not attend out of the goodness of their hearts. At a minimum, travel and housing should be covered.

Hi Lee
I understand your thoughts on their "livelihood" but I still struggle with those who make HUGE amounts of $$ that just deliver the same content over and over and over again. That is not livelihood, to me, that is taking the easy way.
Perhaps I am totally wrong here — but I know that MANY of us — who perhaps make a couple of hundred (maybe) per session or per conference — always ALWAYS are generating new content….not just to stay current but also because we don't want to be a "one trick presenter".
And if we are doing this — those who are making minimum amounts….often paying our own travel, food, lodging — YET still creating new content OFTEN……
could we not also expect that from those who are making THOUSANDS or TENS OF THOUSANDS or MORE by giving keynotes??
I believe we should.

HPN honors operators for noise abatement
As part of its good-neighbor program, Westchester County Airport (HPN) in White Plains, N.Y., presented its annual Spirit of Noise Abatement awards at an environmental event organized by the Westchester Aviation Association at the end of May. Since 1994 the program has honored those business aircraft operators who have abided by the airport's noise-reduction policies during the previous year.
According to John Inserra, the airport's noise-abatement officer, the awards also motivate operators to maintain awareness about the airport's noise policies. Unlike the noise-reduction program at nearby Teterboro Airport, which includes the threat of banishment from the airport, HPN's program relies strictly on the conscience of its operators. "We have no teeth here; I cannot fine anybody. I don't have three strikes and you're out, so all you get is a letter or a phone call," said Inserra, who added that the voluntary flight curfew is the most heavily scrutinized program at the airport.
Voluntary Noise Abatement
The awards are presented to operators based for the full year at the airport who made no flights during the period of voluntary restraint from flying, which extends from midnight until 6:30 a.m., and who cause no high-range noise events (90 dBA or higher as indicated by the airport's 20 noise monitoring sites). They are broken down into three categories. In the jet category, those with 100-percent compliance are Air Frantz, Bresnan International Aviation, Lower Cross Aircraft, McGraw-Hill, Met Life, PMI Global Services, Polo Aviation, RD Aviation, R.T. Vanderbilt and Wayfarer Ketch Management.
The 2009 turboprop category winners are Air Frantz, Donnellan Aviation, Richard A. Foreman & Associates, John Friel, Greenhill Aviation, Joe Howley, ISDM, K.W. Griffen Packaging, NY Power Authority and Robert Wilner.
The helicopter category was represented by Citigroup Corporate Aviation, Gateway Helicopters, IBM Flight Operations, Interlaken Capital Aviation Services, Safe Flight Instrument and Wayfarer Ketch Management.
Honors for the lowest average sound level for a jet went to RD Aviation's Cessna Citation 550, while the 2009 award for the lowest average sound level for a jet fleet went to JPMorgan Chase, which operates a pair of Gulfstream G450s, a GV and a G550.
Added this year were platinum, gold and bronze honorable-mention categories for operators with one, two or three late landings, respectively. "We tried to open the Spirit awards to more companies, because a lot of these companies are good neighbors. They're environmentally aware and noise conscious, but sometimes they get in 15 minutes late because they hit weather, or some kind of delay somewhere along the line and a lot of times it's circumstances beyond their control," said Inserra. Those noted among the jet category were AIM Aviation, Beauty Central, Charmarac, Citigroup Corporate Aviation, EAC Air, Ernst & Young, King Aircraft, Polygon Air, Wayfarer Aviation, CP Air, Eastway Aviation, OAKLR Aviation, WISC, HM and PepsiCo. Honorable mentions in the turboprop segment included Gene Hall, Dr. David Volpi and Zaitz Overland.
The airport counts 70 corporate jets among the more than 300 aircraft based there. Last year, the airport saw more than 150,000 operations.

Elissa Wald's Holding Fire Is a Very Different Novel Today than It Was a Few Weeks Ago
Elissa Wald's That was And her Holding Wald came Of Brown She tells She references Wald and Why does "I "So The fireman "I What about "I When I ask Holding
second book, Holding Fire (Context Books, 275 pages, $24.95), is a very
different novel today than it was a few weeks ago. When I read it a few weeks
ago, I thought it mildly interesting that Wald had become so enthralled
with firemen that she would spend roughly six years researching a
novel about them and their unique culture of heroism and public service.
a few weeks ago. Then the World Trade Center massacre happened, and now we all
share Wald's admiration for the FDNY.
grief. When I spoke with her last week, she was still in mourning for her many
firefighter friends who perished on Sept. 11. And one firefighter in particular:
Capt. Patrick Brown, with whom she was very close, and whom she credits with
largely inspiring the book. Brown was a real-life hero firefighter, well known
and highly regarded around the city. He was going on 49 when he died.
Fire is quite a different book from Wald's first one, Meeting the
Master, a collection of stories and poems about being a sexual submissive,
which she self-published in 1995. (It was later commercially reissued.) Holding
Fire is a romantic novel but with a hard edge of reality and an inherent
melancholy, deftly weaving together stories of a number of relationships within
FDNY culture–among older, crusty fire chiefs and the younger, passionate
firemen who work for them; wives and girlfriends; straights and gays. At the
center is an heroic fireman in his 40s and a pretty younger woman, a writer
who pays the bills through exotic dancing, who becomes his wife and then struggles
to maintain their fiercely unstable marriage. Knowing what I do about Wald,
I see some unmistakable autobiographical strains in these characters, though
she chooses not to identify any one of them with specific actual people.
by my office last Tuesday looking exhausted, draped in a large, battered FDNY
t-shirt that she wore like a mourning outfit. She'd been going to Brown's
firehouse, Ladder 3 off Union Square, every day for a week. "That has probably
been the best part of my day, with these men," she told me. "They
bring me in the back and talk with me, cry with me, try to feed me. That's
been the single most comforting part of my day. It's good to be around
other people who knew him and loved and respected him. I've also talked
to his family, talked to some of his friends. I've called the hotline.
In the first few days it was every two hours, in the last few days it's
gone to every 12 hours, because they just don't have anything new to say."
she says, "We were all devastated when we found out he was missing, but
none of us were surprised. There was nowhere else for him to be. And I've
been telling myself that had he survived and buried 350 of his men, it would've
killed him anyway. He would've wanted to go out like this. He died doing
what he lived to do and loved to do. And that has given me a lot of comfort.
In some ways, my grief is very selfish. I really already miss him so much, and
the idea that I'll never see him or talk to him is so hard to fathom still."
me she believes Brown "will live on through the book. And it will immortalize
him and celebrate his life and honor his life and his choices. One of the main
themes in the book is the tension between personal priorities and firefighting.
Because there's a certain kind of fireman who gives everything to firefighting.
I think it's fair to say that the people who put their lives at risk on
a daily basis tend to have priorities that outweigh the rest of their lives."
the central characters of her book. "The fireman's wife wants him
to become a chief so that he'll be standing outside fires directing the
action, and that's impossible for him. He has no interest in that kind
of promotion, because his whole life is fighting fire. Really, when push comes
to shove, firefighting remains the most important priority for him. Ultimately
the book is a celebration, an affirmation, and it honors those choices, even
if it isn't what the women in the book would've wanted. Even if he
wasn't making the choices she would've wanted him to make. There's
still the utmost respect and tribute paid to those choices. Because they have
a lot of integrity and beauty in their own right."
Brown met at a firemen's benefit. "I was dating a different fireman
at the time, whom I just happened to meet in front of his firehouse. Most women
have an unapologetic fascination with firemen. I think most people do. Most
men can remember wanting to be a fireman when they grew up–and to women,
they're the quintessential, archetypal hero, protector, knight in shining
armor, the person who is going to risk his life to save you. In writing the
book it was kind of amazing to me that there's so much material on police
culture, there's tons of cop books and cop movies–and despite the
intense public fascination with firemen, that firefighting mystique has not
really been penetrated in literature. There's been one movie and there's
been a few nonfiction accounts. There's been very little fiction."
she think that is?
think the firemen are a closed-mouth group of people. The type of personality
that becomes a fireman is very different from the type that becomes a policeman,
even though people tend to put them together. Without taking anything away from
cops, firemen are not motivated by petty power–they're not gonna get
to pull guns on the rest of the world or pull rank on the rest of the world.
They're not motivated by money, because the money is not what it should
be, considering how dangerous and hazardous–I mean, even if a fireman isn't
killed in a fire, they're breathing in smoke and carbon monoxide all the
time. A lot of them really have damaged eyes, damaged skin, they get lung cancer.
They both stay youthful longer than other men, and they also age, in some ways,
harder than other men.
it's not the money. And they certainly don't have the societal prestige
of, say, doctors. Doctors are lifesavers too, but doctors make a lot of money
and they have a lot of societal prestige. Firefighting is the single most noble
profession that I can think of. And the compensation really comes from within
only. It's the pride and the integrity of their work that is its own reward
for most of them. I just can't see what other reward there is. And firemen
not only compete fiercely for the chance to become firefighters, but they all
really love their work. There's a passion for firefighting. I think a lot
of them are addicted to the adrenaline. And they tend to be very good people.
I've spent a lot of time in firefighting culture and I've been amazed
at just the general goodness. They're good-hearted people who are really
riveted on service, community, family."
who is the central male figure in the book is a complex soul: incredibly courageous,
yet incapable of handling an intimate relationship; a former alcoholic; a strong,
110-percent male, yet undone by tormenting memories of his service during the
Vietnam War. Wald says the character was based on her years of extensive research
into firefighter culture, and represents a very real type.
interviewed hundreds of firefighters, and spoke to a lot of firefighters'
wives. I found striking parallels in a lot of cases. I found that the extremely
gung-ho, risk-taking, most decorated firemen all tended to be [Vietnam] veterans,
they all tended to have intimacy issues, they tended to be never married or
divorced, they tended to have alcohol either in their present or their past,
and they tended to have made this what their life was about. That wasn't
every type of fireman–but I would say there was a syndrome of a specific
type of fireman that I was very interested in capturing."
their wives?
believe that firemen's wives are doing a very noble job as well. These
women are living every day, in a way that other wives aren't, with the
knowledge that their husband may not come home, that the father of their children
might not come home. They sign on to that when they sign that marriage contract,
and I think there's a part of every fireman's wife that knows that
to some extent their husband belongs to them, but to another extent he belongs
to a brotherhood so tight that he's ready to make the 'supreme sacrifice,'
as they call it, for that. One really nice thing is that when a fireman dies,
the fire department really takes care of the family in many, many ways. Emotionally
and psychologically as well as financially. I've observed the men in the
firehouse become surrogate fathers, they'll often go over and do whatever
work the woman needs done on her yard. There's a sense that 'You're
our own and we're gonna take care of you as our own, because our brother's
no longer here.'"
Wald how she thinks the FDNY is coping with its catastrophic loss of Sept. 11,
she compares it to sitting shiva. "People sit shiva, and neighbors come
and family comes, and they reminisce about the people they've lost. In
a way that alleviates some of the grief. I think that [surviving firemen] are
incredibly broken up about it, but just the flowers and the cards and posters
and gratitude and the food–this tremendous gratitude and worship coming
from the community–I think that has to be a comfort to them." She's
concerned about the point when "the excitement dies down but the pain is
still there," and also about the loss of so many of the FDNY's most
experienced leaders. "The younger firemen were not done learning from these
guys. Some of the guys have said [Capt. Brown] wasn't done imparting all
that he had to show them and tell them. Day in and day out, in the weeks and
months to come, they're gonna feel that loss on a very regular basis. It's
gonna stay hard. It's hard now. And it's gonna stay hard."
Fire is just now hitting the bookstores–the timing a huge quirk of
fate that Wald agrees is "very eerie." It's certainly a novel
that will be read differently now than it would have been before the events
of Sept. 11 thrust it into such an unthinkable new context.

Self-Organising Criticality
Re. the essays about criticism doing the rounds.
"Positive" vs "negative" criticism is a very limiting frame for it. I like ambiguous criticism a lot, for instance, I like coming away from a piece with a better idea of how I might feel about something, but I don't ultimately care how the writer ended up feeling about it.
Maybe the value of criticism - beyond entertainment, nice sentences, etc. - is in transferable information about an experience, and something as flat and final as "an opinion" might be a useful part of that, or it might not.
That Eggers piece is one of the worst things I've ever read, and as such had a huge influence on me. It's true, though, that I find it more useful to read someone eloquently explain why a thing might be good than why it might not be. But it depends on the thing. At heart I'm a contrarian. I start hearing a little voice going "come on, what's the real story?". If something is praised everywhere I want to read the doubters. If something is casually damned I want to hear from the fans. Honest doubters and honest fans, not some #slatepitches linkbait - though sometimes you can't tell the difference.
A property of the social web is that these options and alternatives emerge from it with less self-consciousness than they might in the professional sector. I like that.
I like criticism as a vehicle for ideas about things - this isn't the same as centering criticism on the writer but it's not centering it on the artist either: I respect critics who specialise in piecing together artistic development, but it's not my thing as a reader. The idea doesn't have to be central to the piece - it could be half a phrase somewhere that turns out to be a hidden door.
I don't expect critics to explain everything.
Anyway that's some thoughts I had reading those essays and the responses to them.

Avi Arad Blasts Business Week in Response to Marvel Studios Article
- Written by Jude Terror on Monday, May 05 2014 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Deadline
Before Kevin Feige, Avi Arad ran Marvel Studios, the division of the company in charge of producing projects featuring Marvel characters that actually make money. Under Arad's tenure, Marvel produced the Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, and X-Men movies with Sony and Fox before making Iron Man on their own. In an article titled "The Man Who Saved Marvel" last month, Business Week downplayed Arad's contributions, crediting Feige instead and saying Arad resigned due to a a financing disagreement. Here's the email Arad sent to Business Week, from a Deadline report which also notes that Business Week are standing by their story:
Good morning Devin. As usual you manage to disappoint me with your false statements. I am sure you were told by Marvel that I resigned over the self-financing strategy. It is about time for a reporter like you to do your homework and check the facts. It will sound arrogant to you, but I single handedly put together the Marvel slate. Read it carefully and you will notice the natural progression of the character's design to get to where we are today.
You should reach out to Merill Lynch and Ambac Insurance and to our international partners that came on board based on my track record. Our financial partners counted on my reputation. I had to work very hard to convert the doubters. They trusted me and without Iron Man this article would have not been written. Iron Man was not even in the original slate. I knew that we needed it so I set out to get it back from Newline and the rest is history.
Our financing would have never happened without me reaching out to Brad Grey to make a distribution deal that will give you a corporate guarantee. Other people in Marvel worked for many months with Universal and could not reach a deal. I got tired of waiting and went to Brad. The deal was done in days, successful for both companies. The big presentation to financial institutions and insurance companies took place on the Paramount lot. I was the presenter and it worked. Does this sound to you like someone who disagreed with the strategy to make our own movies?
I have forgiven Kevin for following orders and taking the credit, but he had no choice. Shame on you for kowtowing to your business gods. I have given up on journalistic integrity. You called me to talk about Kevin and I gave you the most true and glowing account on someone that I love and respect. Share your notes otherwise you just wasted my time. I will share this letter with other papers and your management to demonstrate the unprofessional self-serving work this reporter demonstrated.
It should be noted that Arad is one of the producers of Amazing Spider-Man 2, which was either a spectacular success or a dismal failure at the box office this weekend, redeeming or condemning Arad, depending on which is true.

The secret for long relationships is not having a perfect and harmonious love affair. It is not how less often you fight, not because of the number of similarities and the things you both like doing together nor the number of mistakes you did. Those things count but it is the faith that keeps you going. A relationship would last if both of you are willing not to give up, if both of you are willing to stand up and still try every time one of you or both of you fall. You should not lose hope when you are struck with problems along the way. Give each other hope and hold on as long as you can.
I can't love him, but I do. I feel so real with him.

Community—a message from Lara Webber:
As I prepare to become your music director, I have been giving a lot of thought to the concept of
For me, music
community. Most of my life, I have been surrounded by musicians; in my own family, friendships, and working life. Broadly speaking, music itself is a
experience. Music has the unique capacity to connect us, tap into our collective imagination, and transcend perceived barriers between people. Certainly, as orchestral musicians, we are connected through the experience of playing the repertoire itself. We bring it to life through our collaborative effort. Without us, this great music only exists as an abstraction on the page and has no life. When we use that page as a map, and navigate forward through musical terrain together—we create another community: a shared experience for ourselves and connection to the composer. We become storytellers. The extraordinary opportunity to share that experience with our listening audiences through performance allows us to collaborate with
in real time, and music moves us all forward together.
Our society is hungry for real connections between people, for a sense of community. This is what music is all about. This is what we create for our listeners, and ourselves, as a community orchestra.
Lara Webber, July 2014

thoughtfully suggests that
in Fran's honor be made to LAS. Fran and Lanny are longtime friends of LAS director emeritus Art and Helene Barnes: Helene was a horn teacher of Fran's son Steven, who later played horn in the Minnesota Orchestra; and Art conducted Fran's sister and brother-in-law in a church choir during the 1960s and '70s!

On July 21, 2003, a 300-foot-tall railroad structure spanning a
gorge in north-central Pennsylvania collapsed dramatically. A bridge
that had carried trains for more than a century was gone in just 30
seconds. The historic Kinzua Viaduct, the world's tallest
bridge when it was originally built in 1882, had been crumpled by a
tornado. How? This question was answered by a high-tech forensic
reconstruction that provides an example of what modeling and
visualization can reveal—and how vulnerable tall railroad
bridges can be to high winds.

Arriving in the kingdom of Arelon to enter a marriage of state, princess Sarene discovers that her intended has died and that she is considered his widow, circumstances that render her a lone force against the imperial ambitions of a religious fanatic. A first novel. 35,000 first printing.
McMillan Palgrave
Arelon's new capital, Kae, crouches in the shadow of Elantris. Princess Sarene of Teod arrives for a marriage of state with Crown Prince Raoden, hoping -- based on their correspondence -- to also find love. She finds instead that Raoden has died and she is considered his widow. Both Teod and Arelon are under threat as the last remaining holdouts against the imperial ambitions of the ruthless religious fanatics of Fjordell. So Sarene decides to use her new status to counter the machinations of Hrathen, a Fjordell high priest who has come to Kae to convert Arelon and claim it for his emperor and his god.
But neither Sarene nor Hrathen suspect the truth about Prince Raoden. Stricken by the same curse that ruined Elantris, Raoden was secretly exiled by his father to the dark city. His struggle to help the wretches trapped there begins a series of events that will bring hope to Arelon, and perhaps reveal the secret of Elantris itself.
A rare epic fantasy that doesn't recycle the classics and that is a complete and satisfying story in one volume, Elantris is fleet and fun, full of surprises and characters to care about. It's also the wonderful debut of a welcome new star in the constellation of fantasy.
Blackwell North Amer
Elantris: gigantic, beautiful, literally radiant, filled with benevolent beings who used their powerful magical abilities to benefit all the people of Arelon. Yet each of these godlike beings had been an ordinary person until touched by the mysterious transforming power of the Shaod. Then, ten years ago, without warning, the magic failed. Elantrians became wizened, feeble, leper-like creatures, and Elantris itself dark, filthy, and crumbling. The Shaod became a curse.
Arelon's new capital city, Kae, crouches in the shadow of Elantris, which its people do their best to ignore. Princess Sarene of Teod has come to Kae for a marriage of state with Crown Prince Raoden, hoping - based on their correspondence - also to find love. She finds instead that Raoden has died, and she is considered his widow. Both Teod and Arelon are under threat as the last remaining holdouts against the imperial ambitions of the ruthless religious fanatics of Fjordell. Sarene decides to make the best of a sad situation and use her position to oppose the machinations of Hrathen, a Fjordell high priest who has come to convert Arelon and claim it for his emperor and his god.
But neither Sarene nor Hrathen suspects the truth about Prince Raoden's disappearance. Taken by the same strange malady that struck the fallen gods of Elantris, Raoden was secretly imprisoned within the dark city. His struggle to create a society for the wretches trapped there begins a series of events that will bring hope to Arelon, and perhaps even reveal the secret of Elantris itself.

This is an excellent and unusual standalone fantasy novel by Sanderson. It combines fantasy/,magic with ideas on religion, politics, economics and social issues. I found the ideas thought-provoking while Sanderson maintains a non-pedantic exploration of such issues through his story. The characters were well-formed and very likeable with an immersive fantasy world. The language is evocative and simple enough for most ages to enjoy.
This is absolutely my favorite book of all time! I have recommended it to more people than I could ever count. This book has it all: action, mystery, romance, magic, religion, politics, comedy, and so much more.
It is different from the typical Epic Fantasy in that there really isn't a physical quest to find any talisman or complete any action. Almost the entire story takes place in the area of two cities that are very near each other. At the time I first read this book, I found this bit to be so refreshing.
The magic system is trully unique, and discovering some of its mysteries is a key part of this whole book. Following the progression of the discoveries was absolutely fascinating.
Sarene (the female lead) is an amazing woman. She is courageous, intelligent, and strong of character. She does many amazing things and pushes herself to help others. She's just awesome!
Raoden (one of the male leads) is the perfect man for Sarene. He is also intelligent, courageous, and strong, but he also trully sees people. I find this quality spectacular in people as they can really accomplish things, and they tend to be really good people.
Hrathen (the other male lead) has a strong character as well. His character grows a lot throughout this book, and I really like that he thinks for himself. His side of the story really focuses on religion and his mentality was interesting to learn about.
There is a bit of romance in this book as well (for all the ladies out there!) which really added to everything.
The fact that this is Sanderson's first book, showed his true potential as an amazing writer. I first read this when it was his only book out, and he became my favorite author. I have read everything his has published since then and I have never been dissapointed.
Although it does have it's flaws. For what it is - which is a debut novel- it is not bad. Nothing comparable to his later works, The ideas were there and it has some interesting concepts although it does need to be a bit more developed in some areas and less obvious in others it is not that bad. Of course as always, it has a unique system of magic for us to explore.
Not a bad read, though it pales in comparison to Sanderson's later novels. The final act of the book was my least favourite of the three, as it seemed to completely ditch the machinations and maneuvering that characterize the rest of the story and felt too rushed instead of climactic.
The debut novel of what is one of Fantasy's greatest authors. In a race against the clock, Raoden must uncover the mystery of Elantris and its people that disappeared. As it is Sanderson's first work, it is not his best, but it still bears his trademark unique magic.
This is one of the most embarrassingly bad pieces of writing recently published in the writing. I honestly do not understand what the editor was doing or how this landed publication with Tor. The author has a tremendous amount of great ideas but he simply does not know what to do with them: in fact, he does not know how to write. The subplot is hilariously contrived. The writing itself is stacked with adverbs, adjectives and similes. There is not a single paragraph that does not need some form of reworking. Some sentences are shockingly poor. On average, this book has the tone of a slightly confused writing exercise, and I exemplify:
Then, realizing in full what he was holding in his unworthy hand, he dropped the parchment to the desk with a quiet yelp."
I wish the author had been assigned a competent editor who is not afraid of using a read marker because the ideas are there. But the writing? Atrocious.
This book is not part of the hero of ages series. It is a stand alone book as far as I can tell. It's very, very good.
Well writen, engaging, and includes a couple of plot twists / deceptions that really throw you for a loop inside the obvious conclusion of the book that the girl and the boy will end up together. Was disappointed to realize that this was a stand alone novel. On the other hand, maybe that's a good thing because I read it in less than two days and I really should catch up on my sleep. (:
this novel is terrific. as sanderson's first novel, he did an amazing job. laced with several sub-plots and a compelling mystery, you will find that the worst part about reading this book is when you have to take a break to eat, work and sleep. every spare moment you can find you will be using to get back to these "glowing, silver-sheened" pages.
if you like robert jordan then you will like this author even better (sanderson is taking over the wheel of time series by the way, now that robert jordan has passed on).
Engaging single-book fantasy. Three likeable main characters who's stories overlap with each other. A strong feminist argument is made throughout the book. Can't help wondering if some parts of the story are allegorical: a kingdom taken over by merchants and invasion of a militant religious force.

If you're going to the Florida Panthers game tonight, please be in your seat promtply by 7:00 P.M. It's Bill Torrey Tribute Night and you don't want to miss it. Also, there's going to be some line changes tonight with some surprises. Yea like Little Stevie still on the first line. George Richards from On Frozen Blog has details.
One again Elliotte Friedman's 30 thoughts column is back. Nice comments about the Panthers, and interesting ones about the Calgary Flames.
In light of the Rick Rypien incident the other night, Justin Bourne says that NHL players shouldn't have to tolerate fan abuse.
Maybe Mike Milbury can set things straight about Rypien. Yea, right.
Think the Florida Panthers have attendance problems, well here's what less than 7,000 fans at a Phoenix Coyotes game looks like.
Down Goes Brown tells us about some upcoming NHL milestones this year. Wait till you see the one about Jacques Martin. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Gary Bettman reportedly called the fan that Rick Rypien grabbed the other night to talk about the suspension and fine that was handed out by the NHL.
Finally, some of you may know that my favourite baseball team is the Baltimore Orioles. The team that I hate in baseball is of course the New York Yankees. I came across this video from the 1996 O's-Yanks playoff series where that little f*$k Jeffrey Maier interfered with a ball hit to right field. It was called a homer. IT WAS NOT! Every time I watch it which isn't very often I want to throw up. I usually throw something against the wall instead.
Preview of tonight's tilt coming soon.
Thanks for reading.

Are You Really Ready for Love? Expanding Your Spiritual Self
- Wednesday, March 01, 2006
- Each conflict is an opportunity
- Every "issue" can be a way to expand ourselves, spiritually and emotionally
- There are always new ways to keep love and excitement alive
Solomon, the wisest man in the world, is informed by the Lord to ask for whatever he wants. He says, "Give your servant a discerning heart … to be able to distinguish right from wrong." (1 Kings 3) If we do not understand our past, we are prone to repeat it. Or, said another way—doing the same thing and expecting different results is called insanity. The wisdom of man is folly to God. Allowing God to move in our lives—even aspects of our love lives or old behaviors we want to rid from our lives—can be very empowering.
