I think the title says it all. Nebraska is one of the most underrated states in the US for travel. This presentation will make you want to book a vacation to Omaha and see the sights.
About Shannon: 30 something wannabe hipster mom who grew up in Nebraska, works in healthcare marketing and has a headful of useless knowledge to share.
When I reflect on the things that inspire me most, images of fine art, photography, poetry and great design race through my mind. Endless examples of great work that far surpass my own aspirations. These works' creators are unbelievably inspiring to me— individuals who have somehow tapped into a well of ingenuity that's seemingly bottomless. In digging deeper, to gain an understanding of what drives these people to do such astonishing work, I reflected on what I suspect are critical characteristics they possess. One rises to the top: conviction. Conviction as in "commitment, confidence, sincerity, passion and fervor." Without conviction, one loses the will to continue the arduous pursuit in bringing to life that impossible thing their inner being tells them they must create. Conviction, I believe, is at the core of every great artist, every great designer, every great creative. When I shift my reflection to bring to mind examples of people of great conviction, I'm surprised to find those who inspire me most work outside what are commonly considered creative endeavors. As creative persons, we have much to discover about true conviction from looking extrospectively.
About Paul: Paul Evers is president and creative director of branding agency, tbd, in Bend. Although, he's perhaps more known for being a husband, father, active community member and fly fisher.
Aural condensation of 6 months in SE Asia.
Verbal transference of learning through experience.
Mental binoculars.
About Paul: Best thing I ever did was marry a girl I met while tutoring her in math up in Bellingham, WA. Since college, we've enjoyed traveling and new experiences, like moving to Bend in 1996 for a job.
In 2003 we quit our jobs and took a real whinger of a trip. Drove to Alaska, flew to Europe, traveled through the interior of Mexico.
We were gone for a year and a half, and the highlight was 6 months spent in SE Asia. The extreme differences in culture blew apart our view of 'conventional wisdom' and reinforced our core beliefs about human kind. It was epic.
Upon our return to Bend in 2004, I got my job back, we've got 2 kids and a large mortgage. Yes, it's different, but don't worry!
We still find time to test our core beliefs and concerns about human kind.
Every day.
Try not to die. That's pretty much the best advice I can give you if you are thinking of doing a triathlon for the first time. Because nobody completes their first triathlon. They only survive it. But if you're like me, you're thinking: "Where do I sign up?" In this presentation I will introduce the audience to the sport of triathlon and take them through the basics of the race, with tips on training, equipment and race day tactics. I don't come at this from the view of a professional triathlete, but as relatively recent beginner—I've only completed four Olympic distance races, with my first in 2006, and I remember vividly the terror, intimidation and confusion at even the thought of the race. My goal is to throw light on what the beginner can expect to experience in their first race, demystifying one of the most difficult athletic undertakings in the world, and inspiring people to take up the challenge of the sport.
About Nick: Nick Reese is a professional copywriter, amateur triathlete, and apprentice adventurer. You can follow his travails in triathloning at ayearofamazingfeats.wordpress.com.
A humorous recount of my whirlwind college birdwatching trips ( 143 species in 4 days ) out near the Steens Mountain, my addiction to taking classes ending in "ology" and how it resulted in me becoming a walking vessel of useless trivia. Presentation would start with a history of my "ology" addiction, the professor at PSU who inspired me to become the person I am today ( he passed away years ago but is still a legend in the Oregon scientific community & the most humble man I have ever known ). Would lead into the strange world of birders, the "inside" humor of ornithologists and why we love birds so damn much. Presentation would then continue to discuss the Steens Mountain and the utter chaos that ensues when 30 people try to document 143 species of birds in 4 days.
About Michelle: Currently working as a teacher for Head Start. BS in Biology and Masters in Science Education - currently using neither. Grew up in the Bend area, left for 15 + years and recently moved back with my spouse and son. Skater for the Lava City Roller Dolls for the last 3 years. Avid bird watcher and fly fisher woman. Love to speak in public. :)
Narrated in a free verse style, my presentation will tell the story of a present day nomad through the pictures taken on her cell phone. From the plaintive views out airplane windows leaving home behind, to photos capturing the random acts of kindness of hotel housekeepers, I want to tell my story against the grainy backdrop of life-impacting moments captured on a disposal and undistinctive medium.
About Meri: I'm a lawyer who counsels start-up and growing technology companies. I moved to Bend during the Dot Com boom in the Silicon Valley so my kids could be raised outside of the fast-paced environment and grow up to be avid outdoorsmen. They lived in Bend, I remained a nomad, traveling outside of Oregon to work all over the United States so my kids could call Bend home.
Isn't life always better when there is a song in your head, even more so your heart? What if our lives were musicals? What if we could just break out in song during a stressful meeting about H1N1 flu, rebranding or our annual performance evaluation? What if we could tell our loved ones how we felt through a song or how much more poignant would that argument be if only we could drum up a chord or two? It is an experiment I would like to propose and for you to experience. So let's sing! Sing a song! Sing out loud! Sing out strong for a lifetime... or maybe just five minutes.
About Janette: I am often described in colorful terms, some more colorful than others. One friend describes me as, "Wild, yet grounded." Another says, "Joyful whirlwind." My close friends know, I love musicals and I love to sing. One thing is clear; I have a lot of energy and a lot to say. I work in media relations for Central Oregon's esteemed hospital system. I play in this lovely dichotomy we call life.
In 2009 I set a goal to see 100 different bands/artists perform live. I met that goal and was blessed to see some of the best and most elusive performances 2009 had to offer. I want to share with people what that experience was like... How live music can shape life... and just what went into reaching that goal. People always wish they had time to see more concerts... I want to inspire them to stop making excuses and buy a ticket!
About Ethan: I am a 32 year old music lover and Oregon native. Passionate about people and their own stories. Love to connect with groups of people at live music performances and share my knowledge of great music with everyone I meet. I work for Bend Memorial Clinic and explore Central Oregon and the Pacific Northwest any chance I get.
Sometimes we have to 'fake it 'til we make it', and learning to engage the spirituality of everyday life takes that kind of attitude. If we begin to look at everything that happens to us as if it is a 'wake up call' to pay attention, we begin to find all manner of synchronicities, connections, and delight. This talk is about a way of grounding our search for spiritual engagement in everyday, ordinary life, not some mountaintop ephiphany! As part of the presentation, we'll do a short experiential exercise that will show how simple and profound this work is.
About Beth: I have been a devoted seeker of spiritual wisdom since a child. I've worked 20+ years in hospice and other non-profits. The dying have taught me to live with at least one eye open! I've lived in Bend for over 5 years, and am delighted to call it home. I have a MA in Religious Studies and a BA in Elementary Education.

Singer-songwriter Mac McAnally will release his first live album, Live in Muscle Shoals, on October 11. Recorded during his show at Norton Auditorium at the University of North Alabama during the W.C. Handy Music Festival, the album will include hit songs Mac penned such as Kenny Chesney's "Back Where I Come From" and "Down The Road" and Sawyer Brown's "All These Years."
Without the help of advanced equipment and the opportunity to sing a song over and over that recording in a studio offers, Mac embraces the flaws heard in his live recordings, taking his cue from W.C. Handy himself.
"In live performance you don't have to look far for imperfections," Mac said. "I look at the imperfections as blessings too. W.C. Handy made a career out of mixing influences from his surroundings and expressing them musically. I share that aspiration and hope to merit having shared the bill with his legacy on July 31, 2010 in his hometown of Florence, Alabama."
Mac set up each song with a short story and bits of humor which are included on the album. Mac once again received a CMA Awards nominated for Musician of the Year, an award he has won the last three years. He is also a member of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefers band.

The viola is rarely heard as a solo instrument in front of the orchestra. Slightly larger than a violin and with a lower register, the viola is usually relegated to filling in the harmony, while it's higher relative gets the big solos.
But today, there is an opportunity to hear this beautiful instrument, when violist Roberto Diaz performs Alfred Schnittke's "Monologue for Viola and Strings" with Mischa Santora and the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra in Memorial Hall.
Diaz, a native of Santiago, Chile, and former principal violist of the Philadelphia Orchestra (1996 to 2006), has performed ...

Turn Real Life Into a Miniature
There's something magical about macro photography. Getting up close to a tiny subject is one of the most exciting ways to use a digital camera. But why stop there? Almost any photo editing program lets you turn that idea on its head and make ordinary pictures look like they are actually miniatures!
Tell-Tale Signs
Even without thinking about it, you know when you're seeing a photograph of a miniature.
Usually, it's the depth of field that gives things away. If you fly over a city and photograph the skyline with a wide-angle lens, the entire scene appears in sharp focus. But try to photograph a miniature city built out of Legos or model train scenery, and the camera can only keep a particular section of the photo in focus--the foreground and background will quickly "roll off" into a blur.
Simulating a Doll House
It's easy to achieve that effect with a photo editing program. Take this photo of my kitchen, for example, which I shot while my house was still under construction. I was curious if I could make it look like a doll house by creatively blurring the scene.
Well, there's good news and bad news. The usual technique to "miniaturize" photos, which has become quite popular in the last year or two, works best when you can apply a gradient mask to your photo. A gradient mask is a tool that lets you smoothly vary an effect (like blur) across a region of the photo. Unfortunately, Adobe includes that feature only in the heart-stoppingly expensive Photoshop CS, not the more accessible Adobe Photoshop Elements.
But I don't like to give up easily, and I found a very simple way to cheat using almost any photo editor.
Miniaturizing in Photoshop Elements
Open the photo that you want to miniaturize in Photoshop Elements. You might want to try my sample kitchen photo for starters.
The first order of business is to select a horizontal band in the photo that represents the section of sharpest focus. This is where the camera would be focusing if you were shooting a miniature version of the scene in macro mode. To do that, select the Rectangular Marquee tool (fifth cubby from the top in the toolbar) and drag it across the screen just below the middle.
Now we want to select everything in the photo except that section, so choose Select, Inverse from the menu. We can't apply a smooth gradient to the photo, but we can keep the selection from being quite so abrupt. Choose Select, Feather, and set the feathering to about 25 pixels. Click OK.
The amount of feathering you choose will vary depending upon the size of the photo. For larger photos, you'll want to experiment with larger values.
We're almost done. Now choose Filter, Blur, Gaussian Blur, and set the level to 4.0. (Again, you'll want to use more blur on larger photos.) Click OK, then turn off the selection (choose Select, Deselect). Click the image on the left to see what I ended up with.
That's not bad--it definitely has a doll house vibe. I especially like the way the blurry stairs look tiny and fake, as if they were made of balsa wood. Best of all, it's reasonably similar to the version I made in Photoshop CS3, using a real gradient mask (see the image on the right).

This Week's Hot Pic: "Japanese Beetle," by Cynthia Farr-Weinfeld, Portland, Maine
Cynthia writes: "I really liked your column on macro photography. I am really into it myself right now, and am very lucky to have an amazingly good macro feature on my Canon S3 IS. I took this image in July, at the height of the invasion of Japanese Beetles. We get thousands of them all over my grape leaves. This coppery little beetle looked so menacing and scary when I took the close-up that I instantly loved the picture. It was an overcast day, which seems to work better when photographing these shiny insects, because you get all the luster of their exoskeleton colors without the glare of bright sun."
This Week's Runner-Up: "Imaginary Friends," by Diana Orlando, Edison, New Jersey
Diana writes: "I took numerous photos of my granddaughter on the beach one afternoon, all within a few minutes. The shadows on the east coast are terrific at that time of day. I decided to combine three of the photos into one, using Layers in Adobe Photoshop Elements. Needless to say, when presented with the finished photo, my granddaughter was thoroughly confused!"
Each month we choose one of our weekly winners to be the Hot Pic of the Month. For October, we chose "Corpus Christi at Night," by Karen L. Flores from Corpus Christi, Texas.
Congratulations to Karen and to everyone else who won a Hot Pic of the Week last month. To see all the Hot Pic winners for October, view the slide show. Keep those entries coming!

text: I had installed PostgreSQL 9.2 earlier and it always installed with the encoding being WIN1252 (the default database was WIN1252). I then some time ago reinstalled it with the encoding being UTF8 (I dont exactly remember what I did). I am now trying to re-install postgresql again but re-installing it with the encoding set to WIN1252. I am installing postgresql 9.2.2 from the installer executable and using an options file. I am setting the locale to "English, United States" and the installer-language to "en". Are these the wrong values I should be using? Is there some internal variable I must of set to UTF8 that postgresql is reading to know to use UTF8? I dont see any reference to UTF8 anywhere when I install postgresql. After I install postgres, it shows my database is UTF8 and the 'client_encoding' variable is set to WIN1252.

Release of shark fins questioned by group-A A +A
Monday, August 25, 2014
THERE should have been a clearer analysis if the shark fins intercepted in Mandaue City last Saturday did not come from endangered shark species before these were released, said an officer of Greenpeace Southeast Asia (GSA).
Vince Cinches, an "oceans campaigner" of GSA, said the technical working group created during the Shark Summit on Aug. 14 and 15 will write the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Central Visayas to ask questions about the shark fins that were released.
The Cebu Provincial Anti-Illegal Fishing Task Force and Lapu-Lapu City's Task Force Kalikasan stopped a 20-foot cargo container loaded with 5,000 kilos of dried shark fins at 11:30 a.m. last Saturday.
It was estimated that the sacks of shark fins probably cost P15 million.
But hours later, after the truck was intercepted and brought to the Cebu International Convention Center, the shark fins were released after the broker showed documents, saying that the fins came from blue sharks, which are not covered by a provincial ordinance.
Earlier, Capitol Chief Security Officer Loy Madrigal, who heads the task force, said that aside from the BFAR in Central Visayas permit, some documents also showed that the fins were imported from Spain.
"BFAR should not trust in giving permit to corporations who transport sharks without even looking at asa ni gikan ang shark ug unsay impact ani sa (where the sharks come from and what is its impact to the) ecosystem," Cinches said.
He said GSA will come up with a statement and specific recommendations addressed to the BFAR this week.
Cinches said the Provincial Government and other local government units should strengthen their existing legislation that will not only focus on catching the endangered species, but also include their transport.
He also encouraged the Hotel Resort and Restaurant Association of Cebu to come up with strong measures and monitor their hotel and restaurant members if shark fins and other products are included in the menu.
The intercepted shark fins, which bear the consignee name of Qian Hang Trading Corp., were to be shipped to Hong Kong.
Cinches said an organization based in Hong Kong will try to intercept the shipment if it arrives there.
He said such group will also like to call for a stronger legislation to ban the use of shark fins in Hong Kong.
Earlier, concerned citizens were the ones who reported that sharks fins were being
dried under the sun inside a compound in Sitio Dapdap and Sitio Soong, Barangay Mactan in Lapu-lapu City.

Other Servers Showing Under Backup Sets
I go to one of my servers and look at Backup Sets...I see all of the backup jobs for another server along with the ones that should be there. Anyone else have this?
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
I was wondering if you have resolved this issue yet. I just noticed the exact same thing while doing an audit of our backup sets. We have only had BE2012 installed for about a month (we all the latest hot fixes installed, including 194470). Here is what we are seeing:
The backup sets for our active directory server are appearing under the backup sets for our call recording server and vice versa. I can go into the backup sets tab for our AD server and see a backup set for drive "Z' which does not even exist on this server. In addition, I can view the backup sets for our call recording server and see the full backups for the AD server. If I attempt to edit the backup for either server, the local drives are reporting correctly (i.e. the "Z" drive does not show up as an available drive for the AD server).
The good news is when I attempt to do a test file restore on either server, everything seems to work correctly. The correct backup sets are displayed for both servers and I cannot see the "Z" drive as a restore option for our AD server.
I will try the recommended BEUtility fix above shortly; however, I am curious as to what is causing this to happen. It appears to have been an issue since we first installed BE2012 a month ago (I just didn't notice).
Our issue is also with disk based backups. We do perform a duplicate to disk for our other servers on a daily basis; however, the servers which are experiencing this issue do not have their backup sets duplicated (we use a Dell RD1000 for duplication).
I just ran the BE repair utility and selected repair database. So far, it does not look like it was successful. I can still see the "Z" drive backup sets listed under our AD server (as stated before, this server does not even have a Z drive to backup). I can try deleting the backup jobs and then setting them up again from scratch; not sure if that will work though?
Ok, here is what I have tried so far without success:
-Enabled the "perform database consistency check" option under "backup exec settings" . I then let the system perform its daily database maintenance at 4:00am
-Ran the BEUtility.exe program and selected "repair database"
-Deleted the backup job for our AD server and then re-created it. (we do one weekly full backup of this server, however, under the "backup sets" option for this server, I see all of the daily/full backups for another server, including a "z" drive backup set, a drive which does not even exist on the AD server)
-Rebooted the backup exec management server and both of the remote servers.
At this point, the only other option I can come up with is to do a complete uninstall/reinstall of the Windows remote agents and then re-configure everything from scratch. I believe deleting all of the related backup sets will probably be necessary as well.
Anyone else have some suggestions? I am not sure why this is occuring on just these two servers (our other 6 servers seem to be unaffected). Thank you!

Why it's Good to Say Goodbye to Life.
There's no way I could've known eleven hours beforehand it would be the last time I'd see her alive.
I normally didn't visit her on Tuesdays, but my intuition told me to go earlier in the week, not to do her hair, but just to talk.
We had a date every Friday. I'd wash, dry, curl and set her hair. She had grown too frail to make the weekly trips to her "Steel Magnolias," salon, where she and the other ladies would swap talk while getting beautified. She always looked forward to her visits, to Fridays.
Given that I had gone to cosmetology school as a young adult, and was licensed to practice for many years, I offered to doll her up in her own home every Friday. We both came to look forward to those days.
I'd listen to her talk about her other two sisters, their health problems, the pills they had to take and what ailments they had, as she sipped little bits of air in between her words, like a fish moving its mouth upon catching.
She was attached to an oxygen tube that was long enough to stretch across the top floor of her house.
This is where she ate, slept, read Reader's Digest, and also where she had her hair done on Fridays.
Her bedroom was moved into the living room where she had more room for her oxygen tank and for the portable potty we set up next to her bed.
I carved out Fridays for her.
I washed her hair, before setting it, then drying and backcombing it into a style that was worth a week of wearing, a short bouffant she had taken to wearing when she was diagnosed as being terminally ill with congestive heart failure.
When she grew too weak or when we were afraid of her catching a cold, I dry shampooed her hair.
I'd sprinkle the foamy powder into her roots, then dry it with a towel, and it never seemed clean, but she always felt better, and that's all that matters.
She wore a shower cap to bed every night, to protect the style I'd given her, leaving her with less picking to do in the morning. She was a true Leo, very conscious of her mane.
On our last visit she spoke of a second wind she was experiencing.
She said,
"If I keep feeling this good, I'll get back to driving in no time and be able to go see Millie again."
I smiled and nodded, knowing she was terminal, and that she'd never see the road again, or her best friend.
Millie lived two hours away, through San Diego traffic, making it more like three, and she couldn't drive anymore either, because she was partially blind from the shingles that had damaged her vision. Millie too, was growing more frail.
The morning after our last visit, there was a call that she had passed in the night.
I left for her home in my pajamas. When I saw her, she was on the floor, where she had fallen out of bed, caught by the portable toilet near it. She had on her nightcap, protecting the hair underneath I would never fix again.
In one hand, her fist was clenching a paper bag that she would often use when she felt she was hyperventilating, and in the other hand was the cap to the pill bottle that hung from her necklace, the heart medicine she would take if she felt she was having an attack or chest pains.
When we picked her up to place her on the bed, her eyes were open with no green left in them, eyes I had come to know in life and now in death.
And only hours before, she spoke of her second wind, of wanting to drive, but then I bore witness to her stiffened furrowed brow, mouth frozen open, wide eyes with their fixed pained expression, as if she'd seen a ghost.
It was a haunting memory that took years to let go of, though I still see it in my heart.
She died in the summer.
The ants were prolific. They crawled out of her mouth when we picked her stiffened body from the floor before placing her back on the bed.
I've never held a rigor mortis ridden body of someone I loved, till then. The frozen position in which we found her, arms and legs bent, catching her fall, while hovering over the toilet, was not something we had planned for her.
The funeral parlor would have to break her bones in order to fit her body into the golden colored casket she had chosen months prior to her death.
The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying speaks of our need to meditate upon death.
It speaks of our running away from it, the natural tendency to want to live, with our focus always on the living. Sometimes I wish I had known about meditating on dying back then, so that I might've been able to share this with her on our many Fridays.
We always focused on living.
The last image of her face showed the pain and suffering that was there; her fear was palpable. She had "unfinished business," and I didn't help her accept the dying aspect of it, because I too didn't want to let her go.
Helping those we love to die is the most compassionate and selfless act we can offer.
I wish I could've said to her,
"I love you, you are dying, and that is a natural part of life, and I am honored in being here with you."
But instead I allowed her to think she was going to drive her car again to her best friends house, like old times, and maybe my own honesty about where she was in her sickness could've aided her with the ability to move towards a more peaceful death.
I'll never know, but as said in the Upanishads, "Death is our greatest teacher."

That is a beautful expression of your feelings! Love to all
Thanks and Much Big Love to you! Infinite Blessings, Aunt Mary Ann. Thanks for reading. <3 Love you.
Your article just healed a very old wound. Thank you for beautifully reminding me of my great aunt's passing. Her death in 1966 wasn't peaceful either. She died in the hospital screaming my name, wanting me to come to her. I was 16 and in school that day. I cried myself to sleep for weeks after her death.
I am so grateful for this and for your sharing, this is why we tell our stories, we heal ourselves and hopefully to help create more healing for others, among other reasons. Infinite Blessings to you. Humbly & Infinitely Grateful! Keep Shining!
Wonderful article, thank you. We will all die, so better to do so with awareness and acceptance. Much love to all
Indeed, we will, and hopefully before that moment we all arrive at peace. Infinite Blessings to you and Many thanks for reading and for taking the time to post. Keep Shining! As my Mom says, Love, Love, Always, Love (to all). Blessings.
That was wonderful. Thanks. As a retired police officer/detective I have been with a lot of dead and dying people. I've been with dying friends and family. In the early years I too believed that it was best to ignore the elephant in the room, probably out of fear. In later years I just came right out with it. I had a dear friend that was literally days from death. I went to see her in the hospital and she talked about how she felt like she might be getting better. I asked her if she had considered death. She hesitated and said, yes. We talked about death, her death. I really think it helped her to have someone to share her feelings about it with. It surprised me that no one had yet discussed it with her because everyone knew she was dying. Nevertheless, her last days were peaceful and her death was peaceful.
Recently a real good buddy of mine died of cancer after a long struggle. He was a retired police and a combat veteran US Marine. He was the postcard for a genuine tough guy. He both struggled for life and realized that he was dying. The day before he died I held his hand and told him that I loved him. He could no longer speak but, he cried.
The old me realizes that there are words we need to say and that those words are mutually beneficial. Death is life is death is life, etc.. Because we are currently physical we have trouble with the concept that life is bigger than the current ego drama. Yes, living in the reality of death is a good idea for multiple reasons.
WOW! Thank you for this very detailed and heartfelt response. I deeply appreciate it and your taking the time to share. This shared path of ours is full of experiences and when we share ours we help to shine more light! Keep shining yours, Mark. Thanks again, so much, for reading, and for sharing! Infinite Blessings to you.
I have been with two people while passing over, I talked with them to see if there was anything they wanted. One wanted me to cry with her & the other wanted her pastor to come see her. I hate they are gone, however their last request were fulfilled.
Blessings for all, the Living and the Dying. Wonderful you were there to bring peace, a blessing to you and them, Thanks for reading and sharing. Keep Shining!
Infinite Blessings and Gratitude!
Beautiful insights. I can feel the passion, emotions and intensity radiating from your words. It is true death is our greatest teacher. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words. Infinite Blessings.

The Surprising Reason for the Decline of American Tennis
September 09, 2011
One thing seems certain as the 2011 U.S. Open draws to a close: An American man will not win this year's championship. Andy Roddick was both the last American to win a men's grand slam event (the 2003 U.S. Open) and the last to compete for one (losing to Roger Federer at Wimbledon in 2009). It's by far the longest stretch of time without an American winner since the Open era began in 1968.

Who's Online:
This is pretty good. Can't wait till more! :D
Oh this is sooo good, really! I can't wait for more! :)
Thanks for the info. I had read some where that Legolas did live somewhere else, but I wasn't for sure. And I'll watch those grammer problems too.
this is getting good. hope the rocks don't crush them!
Update soon please. :)
Author's Response: I do have it finished and I will be uploading the next chapters as soon as they are proofed! Thank you for your patience and for letting me know you enjoyed the story.
This is good! Keep writing! :D
This is getting very interesting. Keep writing! :D
it sounds interesting to me. Please do begin writing soon!
Thats pretty good! Dont listen to negative comments. I think its really good. :D
This is good! A Death Dealer?:/ Sure does sound like a vampire. What about the Ring?! update soon!
This is good. Please continue. :D
Author's Response: Thank you very much, Dark Elf. I know for many that it may seem very...boring at first, in some ways, but eventually I'll get to the romance part of the story. I cannot wait to post the next chapter!
Not bad, not bad at all. Just a note though, you do know that Merry and Pippin don't live in Hobbiton, right? Merry is from Buckland and Pippin is from Tookland, I think. I'm really sure what its called where he's from, but, any who, really cool beginning. I want to know who the two eyes belong too. Please update soon!
Author's Response: Well, yeah, I did look it up in the books and saw that they lived in Buckland and Tookland. Maybe they're visiting someone, I'll include that later in the story. Thanks for your comments, I'm a fairly new writer!
Another good addition, and you were right about the Palantir;there are Seven seeing stones.
Who's this shadowed person? He sounds as if he doesn't want to do whatever he has to do. Update soon! :D
PS- for a new writer, your not bad. You should see my stories, their horrible,lol.
Author's Response: Not all who appear shadowed are dark in their hearts... You'll just have to read too find out! (Hint: I think its going to be an original character. Im not so sure yet.)
Oh, wow. That is so sad yet so beautiful at the same time. Wonderful, sad, story.
Very interesting. Really, I'm interested in this. But, just a question: what is the Aratar? Did you mean the Valar?
Author's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to review. Now to answer your question! Your half right there on the Aratar being Valar... they are but they are the 8 greatest of the Manwe, etc... a really good reference for this is the website called the Encyclopedia of Arda... here's the link... http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/default.asp
Well, it's good, but could you put some spaces every now and then, and seperate them into paragraphs? I mean, don't get me wrong, it's pretty good, but it's a bit complicated to read.
Wow...amazing. Truely beautiful and--there are no words to describe this. Beautiful, is all I can say.
Author's Response: thanks!
Wow...you have a talent for writing poems, no doubt 'bout it. Love it! :)
Author's Response: Thanks Dark Elf! It's great to be appreciated!
Cool! Although, I'd like to point out just a couple of things. The first is the ages of the hobbits. According to this story, Frodo is thirteen, yet he is actually 22 years old than Pippin, 14 years old than Merry and 12 years older than Sam. In other words, the only person who would considered alive at the time is Sam and he'd only be a year old. Ages are really hard and I'll pass just a wee bit of advice I recieved from a friend: if you can, try to avoid ages. It is alright if you do, don't get me wrong, but it's also good to avoid too.
The second thing is probably not as important, but I'd just like to mention it. Sam does not really like water. I forget the exact page I read it on, but I don't think you'll catch Samwise Gamgee getting in ANY boat. Of course, after this incident, I could see why.
Other than that, I loved it! :D I really really really did. Especially the last remark:
'Frodo grinned. "Well, we still have our picnic."'
Hee, sounds something a typical hobbit would say.
Good work! :)
Author's Response: Thanks! Yes... *nods in agreement* The only ages I\'m really familiar with are with the Men (Aragorn, Boromir, Faramir, etc.) and definitely NOT with the hobbits. :) I\'ll probably erase the ages sometime later. I did mention that Sam did not like water, but from the story it doesn\'t seem like he really is scared of it. I was thinking that maybe the incident and other few crashes, almost-drowns, and etc., etc. would lead to Sam\'s fear of the water and boats that are described in Lord of the Rings. Yeah, I love the last remark too. I thought about Pippin saying it, but it seems that Frodo should end the story. Thanks!

"Entourage" is on its way out at HBO. According to Latino Review, the show will air its final episode next summer. But that doesn't mean that (insert douche bag lead character's name here before you publish) and the gang are finished. It seems they'll be living on in movie form.
Mark Wahlberg recently mentioned the likelihood of an "Entourage" film, and now creator Doug Ellin is expressing interest in writing a script. And if HBO's other *sshole-based show, "Sex and the City," is any indication, the network is all about a movie spin off.
The real question is whether the show will stay relevant long enough to warrant a film, or will a movie version suffer from the same indifference as X-Files: I Want to Believe. Based on this season's reviews, fans are already losing interest, and I can't say I blame them. If I wanted to watch a bunch of Hollywood D-Bags having sex, I'd get a part-time job as a maintenance man at the Roosevelt Hotel and secretly plant webcams in all of the suites and public bathrooms. I mean, ya know, if I were so inclined, which I'm totally not.

Further price rise on weak rupee: Patnaik
The sharp fall in the rupee value would trigger further price rise and add to the sorry plight of people, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik told reporters here Tuesday.
Blaming the United Progress Alliance (UPA) government for the state of affairs, Patnaik said "it tells all about macroeconomic policies of the UPA government".
The rupee slipped below 66 against the dollar Tuesday, showing a growing demand for the US currency from importers and a lack of foreign investors' interest in a weak economy.
The partially-convertible rupee slumped to a new record low of 66.25 at the inter-bank foreign exchange market in Mumbai, surpassing the previous record low of 65.56 recorded Aug 22.

So the coaches are about to speak. Your thoughts as they go along?
Edit: For those of you stuck at work on this fine day. The BTN is streaming it live on their main page.
So the coaches are about to speak. Your thoughts as they go along?
Edit: For those of you stuck at work on this fine day. The BTN is streaming it live on their main page.
Heh. First question for a coach from the media is about OSU. Zook is doing the 2 step right now.
Is there any video or audio link for this?
If you have it... you can watch on the BTN. First up Brett a la Asshole
Brett just asked for "easy" questions....
BTN is streaming it live.
"Coach, is your resume up to date?"
This fanbase is in no position to make fun of a coach who has gone to a Rose Bowl.
11:00 AM Ron Zook (Illinois)
11:15 AM Bret Bielema (Wisconsin)
11:30 AM Danny Hope (Purdue)
12:00 PM Luke Fickell (Ohio State)
12:15 PM Kevin Wilson (Indiana)
12:30 PM Joe Paterno (Penn State)
rocking the huge sunglasses tan line
It took Beilema about 30 seconds to bring up Russel Wilson.
"Coach is it true your already crying about officiating even though Wisconsin hasn't played a game yet."
Michigan coach Brady Hoke in minutes on The Really Big Show at 850 WKNR www.espncleveland.com
I can't hear this man speak enough. Sounds like cautious optimism for the media. We need a solid RB. We won't try to put a square peg (DR) in a round hole. He won't take the bait on some of these questions and I love that he continue to use "Ohio". I have heard him 3 or 4 times now and Coach Hoke is consistently an excellent interview.
I heard they were bringing in some terminally ill children so Hoke could point at them and cure their sickness. Any truth to this?
very telling....
that they must have there. Those coaches aren't little boys, they have some big ol' guys over there. Hoke, Beilema, Kill, and probably some more I can't think of. I'm drooling all over my keyboard here.
Bielema was talking about people knowingly violating NCAA rules saying it is unacceptable and people should be fired and it is a program issue. He is looking at you Ohio.
hate beilema, bot i like hearing him calling for the heads of coaches who knowingly commit major violations. now lets name some names!
Hope on now. I don't know why but this guy looks like a used car salesman.
"Coach, first love the sex stash but what incoming recruit are you most looking forward to losing to UM?"
What the hell does Danny HOpe care were the Big 10 championship games is played he will never coach in it
I loved the awkward silence after Hope asked for questions.
yeah that was kind of sad. "Well coach, since noone gives a shit about Purdue, we will move on."
Hope: We have the most exciting field goal kicker in the Nation
Well, he did kick a 67 yard field goal in the sprang jame.
Work computer wouldnt allow for me to watch it online so I took the higher road and pulled it up on the phone. I dont know why but I am still somewhat astonished by what we can do with a cell phone now. In terms of Hope, I think that Ron Burgandy might be his kid.
Knights of Columbus that's funny!!
Danny Hope looks like he might have to eat lunch in the bathroom because no one wants to sit with him.
/Mean Girls
No last question for you stash man....NEXT!
Wow, I literally LOL'd at Danny Hope. He just said the divisions allow teams an extra chance to be a champion: "A national champion, a rose bowl champion, a big ten champion, a division champion."
I wonder which one of those Purdue falls into?
Also, no "one last question" for Hope. Hilarious.
I can't wait to see what Joe Pa has to say, he is by far my 2nd favorite coach in all of football.
You know damn well he they sceduled his P.C. around his12noon nap. Maybe he'll poop his pants at the podium.
Serious though gotta love Joe Pa it will be a sad day when he goes.
Oh, goodie goodie. Fickell up next. This should be fun. How bad will the media hound him?
I have to go on watch at noon and will miss Adam Sandler and coach Hoke, thank God for the DVR at home. I wonder if Fickell has his sea legs with the media yet or is he going to look like his head will explode like his intro P.C..
I hope someone asks who OSU thinks it's fooling by dropping the "interim" label from Fickell.
They have one of the easiest schedules... They have 8 home games and besides ASU the none conference is nothing. Also their four away games: Indiana, Minnesota, Purdue, and Penn State....
P.S. Does anyone know why Illinois isn't playing Missouri like they always do??
I think both teams wanted to get rid of the neutral site game so they could make more money off home games.
Who the hell is this "Break" guy and why does he speak three times?
Fickell looks like he's about to throw up.
I think the word "exciting" should not be used to describe the off season at OSU.
Or the Titanic.
"Stability in our coaching staff"
Wow, he really looks like he feels thrown to the wolves
While he is talking I can't tell if it seems like he is about to piss his pants or break down crying.
Fickell mentioned Pryor, so much for disassociated....
I love when they have the top returning starters on the left side.*
*Suspended for 5 games.
These are softball questions. Come on, media! Grow a pair and ask some real tough ones!
No recruiting backlash my ass.
I found someone to stand my watch.

Specialty Contracting Jobs Increased 13% Year Over Year In Sacramento

Let's Get To Work
After years of stagnation in the local housing market, things are looking up for Sacramento contractors. Building permits for single-family homes in Sacramento are up 91 percent from last year, according to Robert Denk of the National Association of Home Builders. Denk does caution to take those figures, released by the US Census, with a grain of salt. "The increase in growth is high because no one has been building for so long," says Denk, but he does agree that the Sacramento metro market is "coming out of the basement."
Preliminary numbers from the California Employment Development Department reveal that Sacramento's construction employment showed a modest increase of 1.5 percent from March 2012 to March 2013. Specialty trade contracting jobs, however, have jumped 13 percent during that period, a fact that makes Brad Diede happy. Diede is the Executive Director of the California Professional Association of Specialty Contractors.
What is the role of specialty contractors in Sacramento?
Local specialty contractors are called in to do specific kinds of work on new and existing construction sites. They are the experts in diverse areas including plumbing, concrete work, painting, tile and remodeling. "Contractors that supply equipment needed for construction are also getting much more work now," says Diede.
What is contributing to this upswing in jobs?
"There is a pent-up demand after several years of stoppage," Diede says. "With such a low inventory of new homes, builders are rushing to catch up." He believes there are a number of other factors in play, such as lower mortgage rates and price increases in the rental market.
Will this positive trend continue?
Robert Denk with NAHB has the most insight on this. The forecast for single-family home starts should "see even greater improvement in the immediate and near future," according to Denk. His organization predicts that construction of new homes "will increase to 73 percent by the end of this year…with an additional 55 percent in 2014."
"The uptick in the residential market is keeping subcontractors busy," says Brad Diede. "And that's a happy thing."

Community forestry efforts in parts of Nepal have led to the restoration of vital habitat corridors for the survival of tiger populations living there. WWF is helping local people to manage and directly benefit from these forest resources. According to the report, groups of community forest users can earn $4,760 annually in a nation where the per capita income is roughly $250.
In the Indian village of Farida, a WWF awareness-raising program aimed at conserving the rare Ganges river dolphin helped the community to address critical basic needs such as clean water. After five years, the number of families below the poverty line significantly declined.
The report further shows that more than 60 percent of people living around Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, which protects the habitat of the endangered mountain gorilla, feel they benefit economically and socially from the forests. Other examples show that, in China, illegal and damaging activities in forested panda reserves declined when communities gained alternative sources of income, such as farming and animal husbandries supported by WWF. In Namibia, the creation of conservancies, where communities are jointly managing their wildlife resources, has resulted in better wildlife management, increased wildlife populations, ecotourism development and increased profits in community-owned enterprises.

Associated Press
POSTED: 5:17 a.m. HST, Jul 11, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas >> A psychologist testified that a JetBlue Airways pilot who screamed about religion and terrorists during a flight had "a brief psychotic disorder" due to lack of sleep, according to a transcript of the trial obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday.
A judge found Clayton Osbon not guilty by reason of insanity during a brief and unpublicized trial earlier this month in Texas. Osbon had been charged with interference with a flight crew for his behavior on a March 27 flight from New York to Las Vegas.
Passengers said they wrestled the pilot to the floor after he ran through the plane's cabin yelling about Jesus and al-Qaida. The flight was diverted and safely landed in Texas.
According to the court transcripts, forensic neuropsychologist Robert E.H. Johnson testified that Osbon's disorder lasted about a week after the incident. Johnson didn't specify how long Osborn may have gone without sleep, and his psychiatric evaluation was sealed during the trial, but he said he determined Osbon suffered from brief psychotic disorder and delusions "secondary to sleep deprivation."
Osborn, who was taken to a mental health facility after the flight, could not appreciate the nature and quality of his actions and he didn't appreciate their wrongfulness, Johnson testified.
JetBlue declined to comment on the psychologist's testimony, citing no medical authority on the topic. But company spokeswoman Sharon Jones said Osbon did not fly March 24 or March 25, and worked a round-trip flight March 26 that gave him 17 hours of off time leading into the flight March 27.
Osbon is at a mental health facility in Fort Worth. Court records show he is scheduled for another hearing early next month where the burden will be on him to show "by clear and convincing evidence" that his release would not pose future danger.

How to Get Rachel Bilson's Hair
Get Rachel Bilson's Casual-Cool Half-Do
Like us on Facebook
At a recent trip to the Sirius studios in NYC, for instance, Rachel opted for an effortless half-do that was equal parts laid-back and equal parts flirty.
- To get the look, celebrity hairstylist Jamal Hammadi, who has worked with stars such as Rooney Mara and Jennifer Lawrence, started by prepping Rachel's hair with Hamadi Shea Spray ($19).
- After blowing her strands dry, he used a one-inch barrel curling iron on the ends.
- He then pulled a section of hair from the ears to the back of Rachel's head. The top portion was left out, but teased and sprayed with Batiste Dry Shampoo ($8) before being brushed and secured at the back.
- To finish, he spritzed her hair with L'Oréal Elnett Hair Spray ($14) to seal the style. "The result was this sexy casual look," said Hammadi.

Grosse Pointe South girls basketball team defeats Waterford Kettering to advance to state semis
By Mark Vest
March 13, 2012
DETROIT — The historic season that Grosse Pointe South's girls basketball team is enjoying will continue, as the Blue Devils defeated Waterford Kettering 58-54 Tuesday evening March 13 in a Class A quarterfinal game played at Calihan Hall.
South (22-3) had already advanced further than it has in the history of the program by winnining a district title this season, and now the Blue Devils will be heading to East Lansing to face Ann Arbor Huron (21-5) in a semifinal matchup at 2:50 p.m. Friday, March 16 at MSU's Breslin Center.
"The kids I coach are great students, (and) they're very goal-oriented," South coach Kevin Richards said. " I'm very proud of how they performed. They believed. We got a senior like Caitlin Moore; she carried us. Greg Esler (Warren De La Salle boys basketball coach) told me in August, 'stop thinking you just want to win the district. You got to get your kids believing you're going to the Breslin Center.'"
Moore also has some ideas as to why the Blue Dev'ils will be making a trip tp East Lansing.
"No one on our team wanted to lose," she said. "They all played with so much heart. This is our goal, and we didn't want to settle for anything less than that."
Moore led South with 19 points; Claire Deboer chipped in 17 for the Blue Devils.
Allison Bicknell led Ketterling with 13 points, while teammates Hannah Huff and Arjanai Washington scored 11 points, respectively.
Elsewhere, in a Class C quarterfinal at Highland-Milford, Grosse Pointe Woods University Liggett beat Riverview Gabriel Richard 65-29 to return to East Lansing. Liggett (22-4), state runner-up last year, faces Concord (26-0) in a 1 p.m. Thursday, March 15 state semifinal at the Breslin.
And in Class B, Beverly Hills Detroit Country Day lost 56-47 to Goodrich in a quarterfinal at North Branch.

Romeo Bulldogs
Romeo remained undefeated by defeating Macomb Dakota 26-14 in a Macomb Area Conference crossover that paired two of the top-ranked teams in Michigan. Romeo's defense came into the game having surrendered just 13 points all season, and helped seal the win with a safety and interception return for touchdown by Brad Tanner in the fourth quarter. Romeo earned its first win against Dakota since 2010.

The political turmoil is putting the fiscal 2015 budget allocation at great risk of long delays, says the Comptroller-General's Department.
Director-general Manas Jamveha voiced concern that if the latest goal of the anti-government protesters to postpone the election from Feb 2 is successful, a delay in considering budget expenditures for the next fiscal year starting September 2014 will occur.
"Look at the 17 days these protesters seized control of the Finance Ministry and other state agencies recently. Just this alone caused disbursement to miss the target by 100 billion baht," said Mr Manas.
Normally the fiscal expenditure plan for the next fiscal year is reviewed every January.
But since the constitution prohibits a caretaker government from committing any budget to the following fiscal year's plan, Mr Manas expects a delay of four months in planning the 2015 budget.
"But if the election proceeds as scheduled, the fiscal allocation will not be delayed, as a new government can be formed in February and my department will be able to process the requests of all state agencies and send out an expenditure plan in April. The next step will be to seek cabinet approval, and then the allocation will be on schedule," he said.
Mr Manas said current delays in disbursement are the result of uncertainty over how the present situation will end, especially the latest plan by anti-government protesters to paralyse Bangkok starting next Monday.
"This uncertainty has already delayed disbursement for fiscal 2014, and so government agencies have been unable to proceed with their projects," he said.
Mr Manas said the allocation delay has, for instance, affected the planned infrastructure megaprojects.
This will in turn result in slower-than-expected economic growth since that public investment was intended to stimulate the economy even though the budget deficit of 240 billion baht for fiscal 2014 will be lower than planned.
"We cannot predict how short of the target the fiscal expenditures will fall since the situation has yet to stabilise," said Mr Manas.
In any case, the Finance Ministry will have to use Treasury reserves for fixed expenses such as officials' salaries, but such spending should not last longer than six months.

Dr. Robert T. Bents's Ratings
ACL replacement after dropping a piano on my knee. I was prepared for a long rehab, my wife and son had gone through the exact same procedure couple of years earlier, and since I am a bigger baby than both of them, I was worried. After three days the nerve block was gone and I iced regularly anticipating the pain. It never came. After 6 days I was walking with a limp, after 10 days I was walking with no limp. After two weeks I was feeling so good that I wondered if I had even had the surgery. Dr. Bents did a new procedure for the over 40 crowd. It was called the "Complete inside out". I received an alagraph to replace my completely torn ACL. I am now 6 weeks out and I can run up stairs. I saw Dr. Bents today and he is very happy with this new procedure to replace a torn ACL. Dr. Bents has the best bedside manner and is always thinking about how he can help me. I feel like he really cares about me and my family. THANK YOU DR. BENTS!!!

If you're lucky enough to see Dr.Bents, the experience is top notch-but if your moved into his PA's slot (Michael Swartz), don't expect many answers! It's all in a days work with him, and your needs aren't a concern...and if the female radiologist works with you at all-be prepared to be treated like an inconvenience! Really, how can someone in customer service have such a crappy personality?!

Don's Top 10 From May 24, 1985
Back into time on a "Summer at The Shore weekend" to Friday, May 24, 1985! Here are the local top 10 singles.
"Just A Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody" by David Lee Roth
(#12 last week) Remake of a Louis Prima tune. Pretty funny, original video here by Diamond Dave for the 2nd single (& last hit) of his solo career. "I Ain't Got Nobody", indeed......
"Fresh" by Kool & The Gang
(#9 last week) How many hit songs change the language? This one did! For the first time, "Fresh" meant "good".
"Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds
(#7 last week) The OTHER Jim Kerr & company, from the soundtrack to "The Breakfast Club". Simple Minds were the fourth recording act to be offered the song (the others were Cy Curnin of The Fixx, Bryan Ferry & Billy Idol), & even they initially turned down producer Keith Forsey. Good thing they changed their minds.
"Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by Tears For Fears
(#8 last week) Ironically, considering how big this song was, recording it was almost an afterthought for the album "Songs From The Big Chair". The producer changed their minds, arguing that it was just the right song for American chart success. He was right.
"Everything She Wants" by Wham!
(#6 last week) The OTHER George Michael. Only I would call THIS George Michael the OTHER George Michael. LOL. (The other George was a well-known radio DJ of the 60s & 70s, later becoming a sportscaster).
"Suddenly" by Billy Ocean
(#11 last week) A local-only #1 hit. Boy, for someone so regularly on the charts in the 80s, has he disappeared from the music scene. Google a current photo of Billy. With his snow-white hair, he looks very much like a college professor!
"Rhythm Of The Night" by DeBarge
(#3 last week) Yet ANOTHER movie song ("The Last Dragon")--4 this week, plus a Broadway tune. Where have all the soundtrack hits gone in the 2010s?
"We Are The World" by USA For Africa
(#1 last week; was #1 for 9 weeks) I'm a little stunned at how much I've missed hearing this song, considering how sick I was of it after 9 weeks at #1 in 1985. And watching the video is very emotional (loved hearing Stevie & Bruce trade verses); seeing all those great artists together in one room, some no longer with us. A magnificent moment in pop music history.
"Smooth Operator" by Sade
(#4 last week) It cracks me up that 29 years later, I STILL hear DJs pronounce this group's name as "Sayd" or "Sa-d". Um...no. It's "Shar-day".
"Crazy For You" by Madonna
(#2 last week; 1st week at #1) Music from "Vision Quest" (quick--who starred?). A very important hit for Madonna: it was her first ballad, which meant it was her first biggie on Adult Contemporary radio. Interestingly, she was hired to perform this before she had had any hits on the radio. Oh, the movie starred Matthew Modine. Whatever happened to him?
