Halo 2.5 To Launch With Xbox 2
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games
2005 is fastly approaching, and one of the biggest peices of hardware video game fans are looking forward in the new year is the Xbox 2. When coupled with the fact that Halo 2.5 is set to launch with the new system, there is an even greater reason to get hyped. According to Team Xbox, the Halo 2 "director's cut" will feature all the things Bungie promised with Halo 2, but failed to deliver due to both hardware limitations and time constraints. So what changes can you expect? It appears that one definate is that the game run in all it's high definition glory. And remember when we mentioned that there would probably be three versions of the Microsoft's next console? Well, it now appears that the hard drive version will come pre-loaded with Halo 2.5. Good times.

Toshiba Abandons Plasma for SED
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Home Entertainment
It looks like Toshiba plans to jump out of the plasma display panel television market head first, and with good reason. They developed surface conduction electron emitter display (or, SED) panels in conjuction with Canon Japan, and plan to produce all flat panel televisions with screens that measure 40 inches or larger with SED display panels. I have always seen plasma as a love-it-or-hate-it thing, and personally haven't been that impressed with the technology. SED is expected to bring with it higher contrast ratios, faster response times, and consume less power than plasma and LCD televisions. The plan is to have these for sale in Japan by mid-2005.

Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Misc. Tech
I was just about to chuck out the latest Crate and Barrel catalogue I got in the mail, when I spotted this interesting shot glass. It features a unique design that allows the base to roll in a circular motion, without spilling the drink held inside. For $4.95 each, both you and your drink can "get tipsy" while ringing in the New Year.

Gamer Buys Virtual Island for $26,500
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games
Just when you thought you had heard it all, someone goes and does something like this. Someone known only by his uber cool gaming name, Deathifier, decided to buy an island within the online RPG Project Entropia. Now, when I say buy, I mean with real cash. The island had an abandoned castle and "beautiful beaches which were ripe for developing beachfront property." Now get this - Deathifier sees it as an investment. He is now able to tax other gamers who wish to visit his island to go hunting, or mining for gold. Smart guy. It has been said that massively multiplayer online roleplaying games (MMORPGs) have a gross economic impact equivalent to the GDP of the African nation of Namibia. As for me, I would be pissed if I couldn't move into that abandoned castle after spending $26,500 on a game.

This page shows you how to set environment variables in emacs, especially if you have problems in Windows emacs of getting aspell or other unix utils to run.
nohup /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs &. This way, it'll inherit shell's environment variables.
You can also set environment variables within emacs without setting them in the OS.
You might want to do this if you are using Cywin. You want cygwin's bin paths in emacs, but you don't necessarily want them when running cmd.exe in Windows console, because you might want that to stay pure Windows.
Here's the elisp code to set environment variable within emacs only:
;; example of setting env var named "path", by appending a new path to existing path (setenv "PATH" (concat "C:/cygwin/usr/local/bin" ";" "C:/cygwin/usr/bin" ";" "C:/cygwin/bin" ";" (getenv "PATH") ) )
/ and you don't have to use backslash
/, or without.
;; show env var named path (getenv "PATH")
(to evaluate elisp code, select it and call
〔➤see Emacs: How to Evaluate Emacs Lisp Code〕)
Emacs has a variable named exec-path. Its value is a list of dir paths. Emacs uses exec-path to find executable binary programs. For example, when spell checking, emacs will try to find ispell or aspell in exec-path. When you press Z to compress file in
dired, emacs will try to find gzip or gunzip in exec-path. When you call any of emacs commands: {
shell}, emacs will try to find the program in exec-path too.
If emacs complains that it cannot find ispell, aspell, ftp, gzip, etc, the problem is probably with your exec-path.
By default, emacs copies the value of
(getenv "PATH") to exec-path. So, their values should be identical.
If you did set the PATH env var within emacs, you probably also want to adjust your exec-path. Here's a example of setting exec-path:
(when (string-equal system-type "windows-nt") (setq exec-path '( "C:/Program Files (x86)/Emacs/emacs/bin/" "C:/Program Files (x86)/Emacs/EmacsW32/gnuwin32/bin/" "C:/Windows/system32/" "C:/Windows/" "C:/Windows/System32/Wbem/" "C:/Windows/system32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/" ) ))
The value of
(getenv "PATH") and exec-path do not need to be the same.
〔➤see Emacs Lisp: Determine OS, Emacs Version, Machine Host Name〕
Here's emacs lisp code template to set both PATH and exec-path in sync.
(when (string-equal system-type "windows-nt") (let ( (mypaths '( "C:/Python27" ;; "C:/Python32" "C:/strawberry/c/bin" "C:/strawberry/perl/site/bin" "C:/strawberry/perl/bin" "C:/Users/h3/AppData/Roaming/npm" "C:/Program Files (x86)/nodejs/" "C:/cygwin/usr/local/bin" "C:/cygwin/usr/bin" "C:/cygwin/bin" "C:/Program Files (x86)/ErgoEmacs/msys/bin" "C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/" "C:/Program Files (x86)/Opera" "C:/Program Files (x86)/Safari" "C:/Users/h3/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/Application" ) ) ) (setenv "PATH" (mapconcat 'identity mypaths ";") ) (setq exec-path (append mypaths (list "." exec-directory)) ) ) )
Thanks to Steve Purcell for path-separator.

Watch Camp Woodward 2!
Posted By rel1sh in BMX, Skip To The Comments (3)
Feb 13 2009 / Friday
FUEL TV and Camp Woodward are proud to announce the exciting new season of "FUEL TV presents Camp Woodward," airing Sunday, February 15, at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT. The six-episode series meshes the best in action sports and reality television.
Starting with the first episode, FUEL TV follows two teenage skaters and one young BMXer—Larry, Cody, and Hunter—as they leave their homes and families for the summer and head off to Camp Woodward, Pennsylvania, to gear up and tackle the ultimate journey of challenges, triumphs, and self discovery.
Viewers will watch as the three develop their skills at the world's best action sports training facility, Camp Woodward. It's a mythical place filled with towering ramps, long rails, and training sessions with the world's top action sports professionals. This is where the stars of the show can focus solely on skateboarding and BMXing without distractions from their normal lives. Viewers will get to watch the three develop their skills on the board and bike, and learn a few life lessons along the way.
"We're super stoked to be doing a second season of Camp Woodward," says Scott Paridon, FUEL TV's VP of Production and Development and Executive Producer. "The first season was met with huge success. Viewers totally related to the trials and tribulations of the main characters as they went through camp life, and who wouldn't be inspired by what Camp Woodward offers? It's every kid's dream world, and every parent wishes they could send their kid to the ultimate playground."
"This season proved to be even more interesting," he continues, "as these three new kids discover this dynamic world, and also discover some new things about themselves."
"We are so excited to have another opportunity to tell the Camp Woodward story on FUEL TV," says Gary Ream, Camp Woodward's Director. "We all felt that FUEL TV captured the spirit of Woodward and showed what the 'Woodward Experience' is all about! We're all looking forward to another season!"
Season two of "FUEL TV presents Camp Woodward" was produced by FUEL TV. The show's senior producer, Dave Paine, was a camp director and produced the annual Woodward video for seven years. He knows this season will be even better than last season.
"This second season of Camp Woodward is a totally different take on how our three new kids-Cody, Larry, and Hunter-tackle the experiences of camp life," says Paine. "I believe season two takes the camp story a step further than last year. Camp Woodward's success from last year worked because it's real. This year it gets even more real."
Make sure to check out FUEL TV for the best action sports on television with the new series "FUEL TV presents Camp Woodward" beginning February 15, 2008. Original episodes premiere Sunday nights at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT and re-air several times throughout the week.

All Firearms
Gun Parts
|Seller's Description
This is a nice Carcano Moschetto 38 TS, "Per Truppe Speciale" carbine in 6.5x52 Carcano caliber, complete with bayonet and scabbard. The TS carbine was issued to engineers, artillerymen, and other troops who didn't need the longer rifle. This gun has a very sound stock in good condition, no cracks or splits, no repairs. The metalwork is in good shape, and the bore is good; though there is some frosting in the grooves, it is completely shootable and will likely clean up better. The serial number on the action and the stock match. There is no serial number on the bolt, which is in the white, as is correct for Carcanos. The butt plate is blued steel and in excellent condition. I have not had this rifle apart and don't know what if any marks may be under the handguard. There is an original cleaning rod present in its channel. The rear trigger guard screw is buggered (see photo).
The bayonet is in good shape though it's greasy and needs to be cleaned. The handles on the bayonet have gouges at the end, looks like someone used it for a hammer, but the handles aren't loose. The bayonet is serial numbered but doesn't match the rifle number. The guard is stamped "C. GNUTTI=1941," the maker's name and date. Scabbard is not serialized, and is in very good shape without significant dents and it retains much of its original black paint.
Carcanos are "sleeper" collectibles, and the supply of unmodified ones with matching numbers is drying up, get this one for your collection while you can. Norma and a couple of other makers can supply the correct ammunition for this rifle, and it can be used as a hunting carbine as is: the 6.5x52 round is a very fine deer and black bear caliber, comparable in performance to the other 6.5mm calibers.
This is a nice Carcano Moschetto 38 TS, "Per Truppe Speciale" carbine in 6.5x52 Carcano caliber, complete with bayonet and scabbard. The TS carbine was issue
|Payment and Shipping Instructions:
PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT AN FFL HOLDER. THE LAW ALLOWS ME TO SEND THIS RIFLE TO ANY FFL HOLDER IN ANY STATE. BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN YOUR TRANSFER AGENT WILL ACCEPT THIS RIFLE FROM A NON-LICENSEE AS THE LAW ALLOWS. If you have the misfortune to deal with one of these clowns who doesn't know he can legally receive firearms from ANYONE, you have three options: 1) Find another transfer agent; 2) Send me an extra $150; 3) Don't bid on this rifle. I recommend option #1. Foreign buyers, please contact me first before bidding; you will be charged actual shipping price by air mail.

Hello, I can definitely assist you with this question.
I see that you are currently offline. I would love to chat with you live as this chat is intended for live communication. This allows for me to gather more information and for you to ask follow up questions so we can provide an efficient answer. Please post something when you return so I can be notified and I will return and answer your questions.
I am still here.......
Great, how are you today?
So you are in agreement with the children not seeing each other but do not want a restraining order placed on your son?
yes I don't want my daughter around him either but the problem is when she is outside she goes to see him for some reason all the teenage girls think he is cool,because he is living on the edge and first my daughter is 15 and second she doesn't need that role model...
I understand. You are in between a rock and a hard place as you two are neighbors. Restraining orders, no-contact orders, and Temporary Restraining Orders are difficult to enforce when the individuals live so close together.
Without getting law enforcement involved through trespassing him from your residence, and them trespassing her from theirs, it will be difficult. I even believe that a court would be hesitant to issue a restraining order as the proximity would make it difficult. The only feasible aspect would be a no contact order where they would not be allowed to speak to each other in anyway. However, violation of a no-contact order is a criminal offense, and you may not want to place your daughter in that position.
Plus I am trying to stay neutral, a few weeks ago when my sister and I went down to their house to look for her,cayuse she was out of the house and overdue on her curfew. the people told his mother we took pictures which we did not.... and I don't want to get a racial thing started..
I understand. I would first, personally, try and do some harsh parenting and tell her the consequences of her actions. Legally, as of now with no order in place it will be hard for the court to keep them apart, and they may even tell you to crack down on her as her parent.
Criminal offense for violation consist of what..... A scare by police may wake her up she thinks like all teens she feels that won't happen to her and the grownups are making it all up
Just getting picked up, or a warrant issued. The penalties and fines are not that harsh, but it may just scare her.
she also has been involved in being present while he vandlised na church although no charges weree made because she worked it off and we split the cost with his mother
I see. He definitely sounds like a trouble maker. I would contact the sheriff's office to see if you could not get a no-contact order in place, or work in conjunction with the other parent to see that they are not allowed to see each other.
do you happen to know approx. what fees are involved I realize that it may depend on the state/county
To file the no-contact order?
What state and county are you located in ?
bulter county in WestChester Ohio.
I am stating no contact order, but the terms vary from jurisdiction. No contact orders in my jurisdiction usually relate to an order by a judge to prevent some type of abuse or immediate harm. A TRO is the same, but the threat of abuse is usually not as imminent. TRO stands for Temporary Restraining Order.
i understand
As stated, the judge may be hesitant to issue either considering the proximity of your residences, but I would definitely check in to the filing of one, and I would tell the other parent that you are not opposed to keeping them apart.
Thankyou for your time and help.
Absolutely, please click the accept button and do not forget to leave feedback.

Here's the bottom line: If you don't buy it, you won't eat it. Shop for success to achieve success on the scale.

Panasonic G3; Panasonic 20mm 1.7; will sell separately or together
Panasonic DMC-G3
For sale by original owner, bought in December. Body only with all accessories. Like new, no scratches on body or LCD. In addition to the original accessories, it includes two third party (Wasabi) batteries which DO work with the battery meter. Finally, I am including a printed copy of the Advanced User Guide which only comes on CD from the manufacturer, as well as a copy of the DMC-GH2 Unofficial Quintessential Guide. Aside from a few extra features and physical controls, the GH2 is very similar to the G3 and this book will clarify the many things that the user manual doesn't do a good job of explaining.
Asking $325 which includes UPS Ground shipping with $300 insurance.
Panasonic 20mm 1.7
For sale by original owner, bought in January. Like new with both caps and pouch. Asking $315 which includes UPS Ground shipping with $300 insurance
If you buy both items together, I'll take $10 off. Total will be $630 including UPS Ground shipping and $600 insurance.

Ask Klaus!
Ask Klaus!
Sound Cards I have put several Linux distros on my computer, and I could never find one that successfully installed the sound system until I found Knoppix. I used to think my sound card simply wasn't compatible with Linux until I realized that Knoppix sets it up perfectly. I have a Gateway PC with a Creative Technologies Audigy sound card, which seems like it must be a pretty common system, but I must have an unusual model, because no other Linux installs it successfully. The sound works great in Knoppix, however, for professional reasons, I still need access to other distros (both Suse and Debian-based systems). I'm wondering whether I can use the information in Knoppix to set up the sound on the other systems. Is it possible for me to find out how Knoppix has configured my sound card, then copy the driver and any other configuration settings to the distros on my hard drive? If so, how do I do it? If this is not possible, I would be grateful for any information you might have on troubleshooting my sound configuration.

Uniquely dark, yet versatile sound with exceptional response and projection.
The Berlin Symphonic Series Concert Snare Drum has been designed in conjunction with Franz Schindlbeck of the Berlin Philharmonic and the Yamaha Frankfurt Percussion Atelier. This drum has been painstakingly designed and constructed to achieve a uniquely dark, yet versatile sound with exceptional response and projection. The dark, European-style sound will enhance any player's concert snare drum collection.
The maple shell features a 6-ply, 14" design with Remo Renaissance Diplomat heads for a warm, colorful tone and a wide dynamic range. Its shallow 1.8mm snare bed provides even snare response at all dynamic levels, and its Silent K-type strainer produces zero noise with smooth action for silent, effortless snare engagement. It also features honey-lug casings, which allow maximum shell resonance and provide a unique look. The unique approach of a 30 degree / 45 degree double-cut bearing edge, allows the middle ply to vibrate first so the entire shell vibrates faster. This results in a more focused tone.
Berlin Combination Snare System
The BCS 3-10-3 strand Nylon Coated Stainless Steel Straight Cable configuration provides response at all dynamic levels. The 10 inner cables provide a full snare sound at all levels up to fff (fortissimo which means very, very loud) while the 6 outer strands provide precise snare response at all levels down to ppp (pianissimo which means very, very soft).

I'm not sure the U.S. needs to export goods, but rather, I think it could be self sustaining in just about everything.
The politicians are always queuing up to tell us just how terrible isolationist economics would be for us all. It is practically a mantra. But you start to wonder if it would actually make things any worse than they are now for ordinary folk. There might actually be some dignity to be had from making our own stuff.
So how do we break this link? Can it be broken? Seems like it is pretty firmly held, and I have my doubts that we can get anywhere with the problem. "we're screwed, blued and tattooed" by the very people who supposedly are in the public trust. Larry, try these links. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battl_of_Athens_(1946) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMinn_ County_War I'm not very good at this. Iif these don't work, google McMinn County War.This is how things will eventually be handled.
......... especially China. If we resist, they can blackmail us by threatening to sell off the debt they hold.. So how do we break this link? Can it be broken?
They had over 1million people march on DC last weekend to protest the direction things are going.. The media chose not to cover it or downplay the turnout..

The Beginning
Myst led her people into the shadows and ice, and there they hid, sheltered in the depths of lore. The Vampiric Fae were pariah, kept a dirty secret, shamefully debasing the entire realm of Faerie. And so in furtive silence, the Host fed and drank deep and did rend the flesh of its victims and feast. But their thirst was unquenchable, and it was then that Myst discovered one of their newfound powers: Members of the Indigo Court could drink from the souls of the magic-born . . . With this discovery, a vision for the future began to evolve, and the foundation of terror began . . .
-From The Rise of the Indigo Court.
Chapter 1
The great horned owl sat in the oak.
I could see the bird from my window as it huddled in the sparse branches, trying to protect itself from the snow. I longed to join it, to strip off my clothes and turn into my owl self, to fly free under the haunting winter moon, but the weather was harsh and cold. And Myst was out there, hiding in the forest with her people, waiting.
And somewhere, hidden in her mists and shadows, Grieve is there, captive, caught in Myst's web. Can he still possibly love me? Can he still be saved from the blood that flows through his veins? How can I let him go, now that we've found each other again?
I opened the window and leaned out, glancing down at the yard below. The snow gleamed under the nearly full moon, a crystal blanket of white flooding the lawn. The Golden Wood-or Spider's Wood, as I called it-was aglow as usual, with a sickly green light that I'd seen every night since returning home to New Forest. A thousand miles and years seemed to separate me from my former existence, although it had been only a couple of weeks since I arrived back in town. But in that short time, my life had turned upside down, in every possible way.
The wind called to me to come and play and I closed my eyes, reveling in the feel of the breezes lashing against my skin. My owls shifted, urging me to fly. The tattoos-a pair of blackwork owls flying over a silver moon impaled on a dagger-banded both arms.
Slipping on my leather jacket and gloves, I cautiously climbed out on the shingles, making sure that the snow that had built up didn't slip, sending me sliding to the ground, but it had turned to ice. I scooted until my back rested against the window, then brought my knees up, circling them with my arms, and nestled as best as I could against the cold.
As I stared up into the oak, the great horned owl let out a soft hoot, stirring my blood. Over the past month, he'd taught me to shake off the fear of falling, to soar through the unending night turning on a wing, catching mice in the yard, while always, always, keeping an eye on the forest.
You are Uwilahsidhe. You are magic-born. You must keep watch for Myst, he constantly reminded me. The Queen of the Indigo Court seeks to destroy you.
I raised one hand in salute, the snowflakes softly kissing my skin, and he hooted again, a warning in his tone.
"What is it?" I whispered. "What are you trying to tell me?"
Ulean, my Wind Elemental, swept around me like a cloak, answering for him. He fears for you. There are ghosts riding the wind tonight, and the Shadow Hunters are out and about. There will be death before the morning.
More death. More blood. My stomach churned as I thought about the four killings reported over the past two days. One had been a child. All had been torn to bits, eaten to the bone.
I gazed at the forest. What were Myst and her people up to tonight? Who were they hunting? The bitch-queen was ravenous and without mercy.
There has been so much death over the past few days. They are terrorizing the town and now everyone fears them, even though they don't know from whom they run. I leaned against the gentle current that signaled Ulean was embracing me. She had been my guardian since I was six years old, bonded to me through ritual, a gift from Lainule, the Fae Queen of Rivers and Rushes.
And they should fear. Myst won't just go away. She is here to make her mark and conquer. She is here to destroy. Ulean caught up a skiff of snow and sent it into the air, spiraling around me.
I glanced back inside at the clock. Seven P.M. Another two hours before we were to meet with Geoffrey. Finally, after five days of silence, the Northwest Regent of the Vampire Nation had summoned us. Five days after we had rescued our friend Peyton from Myst. Five days after I'd lost Grieve. Five days during which the Indigo Court had rained hell on the town, killing eight people.
The owl hooted again and as I glanced in his direction, a shadow of movement caught my eye from below, over near the herb gardens.
Crap-something was rooting around down there. Not an animal, so what was it? Another glance over at the Spider's Wood showed nothing amiss, but we couldn't take any chances.
Ulean, do you know what that thing is?
A moment passed and then she drifted gently around me again. Not one of the Shadow Hunters, but I have no doubt it belongs to the Indigo Court. Myst is attracting the sinister Fae.
I leaned forward, trying to keep it within my sight.
I need to know what it is. We can't take a chance on letting it prowl around our land.
Scrambling back through the window, I paused just long enough to slip on my wrist sheath and make sure my switchblade was firmly affixed. Grabbing my fan from the dresser, I slipped back out on the roof and edged my way to the overhang.
The two-story drop was problematic, but a couple of days ago I'd installed a roll-up ladder. I'd been out flying and landed back on the roof, only to discover that somebody in the house had thought I was off shopping and had shut my window and locked it. I'd been stuck out in the snow, naked, too tired to change back into owl form to fly down to the ground and come through the front door. Now, I had the option of climbing down, which was a whole lot easier than shapeshifting when I was exhausted.
I rolled the ladder over the edge and was about to swing onto the rungs when Kaylin stuck his head through the window.
"What are you doing?"
"Goblin dog or something of the sort in the backyard. I was going to check it out."
"Give me ten secs and I'll come with you." He ducked back through the window as I headed down to the ground. A moment later, Kaylin was shimmying down the ladder to land next to me. The dreamwalker was far older than his looks belied, and he was far more skilled in fighting than I was. Having him at my back made me feel much more secure.
"Where are the others?" I hadn't seen my cousin Rhiannon all day.
"Rhiannon is out shopping, and Leo is on a last-minute run for Geoffrey."
Leo was a day-runner for the vampires. More specifically, he worked for the Regent, running errands that Geoffrey and his wife couldn't do during the daylight hours.
"What about Chatter?"
"He's in the basement, working on charms against the Indigo Court."
"I thought the house seemed quiet." I moved forward, cautiously.
The backyard of the Veil House was more like the back-forty. Filled with herb gardens, stone circles, and fruit trees, it lay blanketed in a thick layer of snow, and the rising moon set off a bluish tinge to everything around. We stopped, listening to the owl as he hooted again, his warnings echoing through the yard.
We were as quiet as possible, but at one point I stepped on a fallen branch, buried by the snow. It snapped in two. The creature, which had apparently been working its way toward the house, heard us and froze.
This way, Kaylin mouthed, circling around it.
I followed his lead, edging closer to whatever it was. We managed to slip behind a nearby bush before it could back away. There didn't appear to be more than one, and we were able to get a good look at it.
The creature was about four feet tall, with a bloated stomach and long bony arms that dragged along the ground. Its head was distorted, elongated and elliptical, with longish ears. The eyes were wide-set and cunning. As it drew back its lips into a grimace, drool dripped from between its needle-sharp teeth.
"Have any idea what it is?" I whispered to Kaylin, wishing he could talk on the slipstream. It was much easier to avoid being overheard when sending messages along with the currents of air.
Kaylin cocked his head, his ponytail shifting slightly. "Goblin. One of Myst's toadies, no doubt. If we let it live, I guarantee it will bring others. The dark Fae can get through our wards where Myst's Shadow Hunters can't, so she's probably testing how far she can push into our land using her allies."
"Kill or wound as a message?"
"Go in for the kill. If we just wound it, we'll have yet another nasty enemy on our hands."
I gave him a short nod, saving my breath as we burst out of the bushes and poured on the speed. As we caught up to the thing-the goblin was terribly quick-I pulled out my fan, whispered "Strong Gust," and snapped the fan open, waving it twice.
A quick blast of air slammed against us-and the goblin. Startled, the creature skidded to a halt at the edge of the forest, looking confused. Kaylin dove forward, rolling to come up in fighting stance. He kicked it in the chin. As the goblin lurched back, I slipped through on the left side and brought my switchblade down on its arm, stabbing it deeply.
Kaylin fumbled for his shurikens as an icy gust of wind came whistling from the direction of the forest, and a shadow figure loomed at the border dividing the woods from the magical barrier we'd constructed. A glimpse of pale skin with a cerulean cast to it told us all we needed to know. One of the Vampiric Fae. A Shadow Hunter.
"Shit," I muttered, steeling myself as the goblin launched itself at me.
The Shadow Hunter raised a bow, his sight intent on Kaylin. He might not be able to set foot on our land, but his weaponry could. I shouted a warning to Kaylin and waved my fan in the direction of the Vampiric Fae, whispering, "Strong Gust." The arrow came zinging our way, but missed by inches.
The goblin landed on me and we both went down, rolling into the snow. I couldn't use my fan in such close quarters, so I struggled to catch the creature by the throat. I was bigger than the goblin, but not as tough. After thrashing against his leathery skin, I finally managed to get one hand on his neck.
Gnashing his teeth, the goblin lashed at my hand and I pulled away just in time. Even if I didn't lose any fingers, chances were good he had some nasty bacteria in that mouth and I wanted no part of any infection he might be carrying. We wrestled, me trying to force back his hands as he scrabbled to reach my face. One swipe of those clawlike nails could take out an eye. The stench of the creature was putrid, like a combination of gas and vomit, and his eyes were round and lidless.
I sucked in a deep breath and heaved, pushing with both hands and feet, and managed to roll on top, trapping him between my knees. I squeezed my thighs together, trying to keep the goblin from slipping away from me. At that moment, Kaylin let out a shout and I jerked around. A muscle pulled in my neck.
"Fuck!" The Shadow Hunter's second arrow had grazed his arm.
The bolt had penetrated the heavy leather he was wearing but looked like it hadn't gone too deep. Kaylin yanked the arrow out, tossing it to the ground, and dashed over the boundary line. The Shadow Hunter hadn't been prepared for him to go on the offensive and went down, Kaylin atop him in the snow, a flurry of fists flying.
I turned my attention back to the goblin. If I let this thing get away, he'd be back, with reinforcements. I flipped the blade on my switchblade and paused. Killing creatures-even our enemies-was still new and did not come easy to me. I sucked in a deep breath.
You can do it. Steady. Aim for the forehead. Goblins are vulnerable in the third eye area. Ulean flurried around me, trying to keep the snow from blinding my vision.
With a surge in the pit of my stomach, I brought the blade down, wincing as it slid through the goblin's head. New Forest had become a town of kill or be killed. We no longer had the luxury of allowing our enemies to live in peace.
I drove the blade in to the hilt. The goblin screeched, loud and jagged through the twilight, and then fell limp as a fountain of blood stained the snow red, diluting into petal pink. The scent of the creature lingered, joined by that of blood. I withdrew my blade, yanking when it resisted.
Another shout. I looked up to realize that-in my fight-I'd also passed the boundary line and the Shadow Hunter was on the run, aiming directly for me. I froze, but he merely shoved me aside and fell to the side of the goblin's body, his face pressed against the creature's wound.
As I backed away, horrified, he lapped at the blood, and then began to transform, his mouth unhinging like that of a snake as he shifted into a doglike monster, his jaws lined with spiny teeth. With ravenous fury, he bit off the head, chewing it, spattering bits of brain matter every which way.
Kaylin brushed his fingers to his lips and slowly edged up on the Shadow Hunter. He brought out a short dagger, serrated and coated in a magical oil. As he plunged the knife into the side of the Vampiric Fae, aiming for the heart, the oil encouraged the blood to flow and the crimson liquid stained the snow still further.
The Shadow Hunter turned, but I was quicker, stabbing his haunch with my blade and dragging it through his tough hide. Then Kaylin and I lightly danced backward, out of reach of those deadly teeth.
A voice echoed from behind us and I turned to see my cousin Rhiannon, panting as she stretched out her hands, a small red charm in the palm of her right. She whispered, just loud enough for us to hear, "Flame to flame, bolt to bolt, fire to fire, jolt to jolt. Lightning, let me be thy rod."
All hell broke loose as a bolt of snow lightning came forking out of the gathering clouds, ripping to the ground to shatter the Shadow Hunter into a thousand pieces, as if he were a glass dish smashed on concrete.
As soon as the spell sang out of her body, Rhiannon collapsed and Kaylin raced over to catch her. I stared at the remains of the Shadow Hunter and the goblin. Not much left. Nothing to take home with us, except two more notches on our belt, and the hope that we'd be able to sleep soundly, knowing there was one less member of Myst's court in the world. One less toady of hers to slip onto our land.
Kaylin shivered. He was bleeding through the rent in his jacket from the arrow. At that moment, I noticed a trickle running down my own shoulder. I glanced down. A puncture wound had penetrated my jacket. I slipped it off to see blood saturating my top. The goblin must have stabbed me with its claw. I hadn't even noticed.
"We're growing numb to our pain," I said as we turned away from the carnage we'd just inflicted.
"We have to," Kaylin said. "We have to learn to weather the battles because there will be far more to come before things get back to normal. If there even is such a thing as 'normal' anymore."
I nodded and looked at Rhiannon. "You saved the day." The thank you was implied.
She slipped her arm around my waist and leaned down to kiss my forehead. "I just got home and saw the commotion from the car. Leo's still in town and I don't know where Chatter is."
"In the basement, working with the charms."
"Ah. Good. We'll need them."
"I guess we'd better get back on our land, before anything else comes out of the woods. We need to tend to our wounds and make sure they don't get infected." I wearily turned back to the house.
As we crossed the demarcation line that magically divided the Golden Wood from the Veil House, I couldn't help but shudder. Like it or not, we were pawns in a war between two powerful enemies-Geoffrey and Myst-and we were doing our best just to stay alive.

Reese's phone banReese Witherspoon has reportedly banned mobile phones from the set of her new film - to stop her and co-star Jake Gyllenhaal being photographed together.
The Oscar-winning actress only filed for divorce from her husband of seven years Ryan Phillippe last month and is determined not to be linked to her single co-star.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Reese doesn't want any rumours about her and Jake."
However, it has been claimed New Line Cinema introduced the cell phone ban on the set of 'Rendition'. The film studio has so far refused to comment on the matter.
Reese's reported ban may have come too late as speculation about her and Jake's relationship is already circulating.
A source said: "Jake stopped by her trailer and waited for her. They laughed and talked then he left."
Jake, 25, broke up with long-term girlfriend Kirsten Dunst last year and despite being linked to a number of women has been single ever since.
Reese, 30, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for her split from Ryan and has asked for custody of the couple's two children - seven-year-old Ava and three-year-old Deacon - but with visitation rights granted to her husband.
Ryan, 32, was alleged to be having an affair with 24-year-old Australian actress Abbie Cornish, who he met on the set of 'Stop Loss'.
However, Abbie has vehemently denied the allegations, insisting the pair are just "good friends".

Asphalt 8: Airborne
When you're racing and you car flips and moves off the track, probably you may end six feet below the ground and if your lucky spend the next few months on life support system before kicking the bucket. But what if we could still race with all the exhilarating experience minus the injuries and premature death, could not that be cool?
Enter Asphalt 8: Airborne for iOS and Android with release scheduled later this year. The game offers an exciting twist to car racing via mobile gadgets with the same excitement minus the danger of course not unless you play the gay while crossing a busy street (take note the game is potentially addictive). And even here there are lots of players wanted to download Asphalt 8: Airborne cheats while other read some guides for this iPhone / iPad game.
Asphalt 8 made its first public (demo) appearance at the Gameloft recently at E3, and just like its predecessors, it goes along with its nitro boosted engine with a knack for speed and awesome drifting. There are 9 tracks to burn rubber with which are new except for the Monaco street, and all are with shortcuts and secrets paths to get around the track and take the lead of the race.
A player could race up against 7 others in the online multiplayer scheme, and a full career mode is also available for those who wanted to play it single player mode. And with the advent of the zombie fanfare, the game also add its "infected mode race" more like a high speed game of tag in which the infected car needs to bump another car within 20 seconds to pass on the infection to regain the players' normal status. And for those drift wizards, they also could exercise their craft on Gate Drift mode which is especially designed for drift racing.
The developers also stressed that Asphalt 8: Airborne has lots of cars to choose from where players can customize and upgrade at the same time, talking about pimping your ride. So expect you have lots of credits to unlock hidden cars or just explore the game using cheats.

$900 Million Gas Processor Opens in Ohio
August 1, 2013
KENSINGTON, Ohio — More than 1,700 construction workers built the now operational $900 million M3 Midstream natural gas processing complex that spans Harrison, Carroll and Columbiana counties....
Don't be quick to trust their employment numbers, they are probably overly optimistic. Seems that only a handful of personnel run a similar 'OLD SMOKEY' fractionation plant owned by MarkWest in Houston, PA, the site of so many black fireballs that even the governor's blindfolded DEP finally noticed. RE: "with this processing system getting those products an important step closer to homes, businesses and industrial users" -- What he isn't telling you is these locations are OVERSEAS where they can sell it for more money. And you really have to laugh at this industry spin: "This heroic accomplishment..." So now industry is going to try to blind Joe Schmoe with what 'heroic' really means?? Did they take the Normandy beach?

Note only about 63 PERMANENT jobs for $900 project.
The Gas Industry is NOT a replacement for the steel mills or coal mines; just NOT that labor intensive.
Still beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick though.

Unitarian Universalist Association (1977)
Whereas, currently there are efforts being made to insert the creation story of Genesis into public school science textbooks; and
Whereas,such action would be in direct contradiction with the concept of separation of church and state;
Therefore be it resolved: That the 1977 General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association goes on record as opposing such efforts.
Be it further resolved: That individual societies are urged to immediately provide petitions on the subject to be signed by members and sent to their legislators; and
Be it further resolved: That this resolution be forwarded to the textbook selection committee of each state department of education by the Department of Ministerial and Congregational Services.

Phone volunteers are an indispensable part of WWOZ's Membership Drives. And they're SO adorable.
We thought it would be fun to take a look at all the photos in our Flickr set of phone volunteers through the years. Wow!
Photos of Day 2 of our Vernal Pledge Party: Tuba Skinny, Johnny Sansone, Shannon Powell, Magnetic Ear, volunteers, food, and fun.
Photos of Day 1 of our Vernal Pledge Party: Groovesect, Los Otros, Dave Ferrato, and Larry Sieberth, volunteers, food, and fun.
How about we get Wednesday (Vernal Pledge Party, Day 2) going with little Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns, doing "I'll Wait For You" from their recent Fooler's Gold CD?
It's Pledge Party time, vernal edition! We love hearing from our listeners, who are invited to share their comments about the station when they contribute and help us guard the groove. Here's a sampling:
When I was a small (problem) child, I hid underneath the covers at night with a small radio. I went back and forth through the stations and the white noise and the static of broken music and words.
Late night preachers, forgotton blues, country songs about trucks, trains and honky tonk teardrops.
Our Spring Membership Drive--AKA the Vernal Pledge Party--is currently happening (and happening, if you get my drift) and runs through Friday, March 28. WWOZ is only alive and kickin' thanks to the generous support of you, our family of members.
Here are some reasons to support WWOZ (originally compiled by Danielle Dietze):
Coming this Saturday night (March 22) to the Congo Square New World Rhythms Festival in Armstrong Park: Brooklyn's Red Baraat and their exhilarating blend of North Indian Bhangra rhythms with jazz, brass, funk, hip-hop, and more.
Strange things happen when marching bands come indoors. We're used to seeing them outdoors and on the move. Here's a different look at a Roots of Music, performing in what amounts to the orchestra pit.

Geisinger CMC's CEO resigns
Geisinger Community Medical Center's chief executive officer announced his resignation on Wednesday, ending a three-year reign in which he helped stabilize the hospital's finances and oversee its transition from an independent hospital.
Robert P. Steigmeyer, who joined Community Medical Center Healthcare System in July 2010, has accepted the position of president and CEO at Concord Hospital, a regional health system in New Hampshire.
He is expected to stay at GCMC through November, according to hospital spokeswoman Wendy Wilson. Geisinger officials declined to elaborate on how they plan to replace Mr. Steigmeyer. Ms. Wilson said information will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
"Bob has done a wonderful job leading GCMC through its transition into Geisinger and building programs and relationships in the Scranton community," Geisinger Health System President and CEO Glenn D. Steele Jr., M.D., Ph.D., said in a statement.
Hired as president and CEO of CMC's health care system in July 2010, Mr. Steigmeyer inherited a hospital facing financial woes.
But under his leadership, the hospital saw a rise in its operating margin from -2.89 percent in fiscal 2009 to a healthier 0.99 percent in fiscal 2011. Operating margins, which reflect the percent of operating revenue remaining after all operating expenses are paid, are a way to measure financial health. Most hospitals in the region have struggled to achieve positive operating margins over the past few years.
Meanwhile, Mr. Steigmeyer helped shepherd the nonprofit hospital through its merger with Geisinger Health System in 2012. As part of the deal, Geisinger pledged to invest $158.6 million in hospital improvements.
Construction on an $80 million, multiyear renovation and expansion project began in June and will include 14 state-of-the-art operating rooms and 18 private rooms that have technology to allow staff to monitor patients remotely.
"When I first came to Scranton, the local hospital landscape was in flux," Mr. Steigmeyer said in a statement. "Becoming part of Geisinger has enabled us to grow programs and has significantly strengthened our ability to fulfill our patient and community service mission."
