The company is managed by a group of ten volunteer board members and has six volunteer programming assistants with four paid employees. The main purpose of the Burgeo Broadcasting System is to ensure that all residents in Burgeo have the best television, radio and Internet possible for its subscribers at a low monthly rate. Burgeo Broadcasting System recognizes the economic situation in these communities and has continued in its efforts to keep the monthly fees to a minimum, while maintaining a viable not- for profit business. All monies realized each year go directly into the company to provide such services. In February of 2001, Burgeo Broadcasting System began the BBS ICT Project. The BBS ICT Project was an innovative undertaking to connect the remote rural communities of this area. One of its objectives was to bring Internet connectivity to the remote communities via the Community Access Program. The project conducted educational sessions to help teach the general public first how to use computers, and secondly how to use the Internet as a productivity tool to help enhance rural sustainability. BBS ICT Project is an effort to enhance essential services and to facilitate economic development of the five project communities Burgeo, Francois, Grand Bruit (now resettled), Grey River and Ramea, all of which are located on Newfoundland's southwest coast. While Burgeo is very much an isolated community, being at the end of a 146 km highway, Ramea, Grey River and Francois are only accessible by boat or by air.

Back in December my friend Stephanie and I hosted a shower for our friend Emma (and some other awesome ladies helped by bringing food and drinks). It was one of the craziest weekends E-V-E-R. I did an insane thing. I committed to 2 showers (yes, back to back on the same weekend!) and decorating for advent at our church. Not to mention it was two weeks after my surgery. IN-SANE. Insane in the brain…insane in the membrane! It would not have happened if not for Stephanie. She was a true rock star! After the first shower was over we cleaned up and I had to leave. She assembled the backdrop and got the plates on the table so when I got home I could style it. Well, I didn't get home until 10pm so I did it the next morning,. She was amazing though! Mad props Stephanie!
Emma is delightful and classy. When I think of her, I think of an old elegance from the early 1900's. After I saw the backdrop (and tutorial!) from Trade Wind Tiaras, I knew it would be perfect for Emma's shower!. Stephanie worked her tail off to create the flowers.
For the serving dishes I decided to use these fabulous silver pieces that are my mom's and were my grandmothers. They are just stunning. I also used mercury glass candle holders to bring out more sparkle on the table. We used lace on the table to create a softness and add to the early 1900's feel.
For food we served chicken salad (recipe coming) in sandwich cups, Shirley Temple Cake, Brie en Croute, fresh strawberries, and Butterscotch Budino (quite possible my favorite dessert of ALL TIME). Seriously, it is THAT good. Please, do yourself a favor and make some (or buy it! I don't judge).
For drinks we served coffee, sparkling pink lemonade and lime water. Stephanie designed all of the food tags and drink labels. Thanks girl!

Night Photography
Physics to Photos by Steph Abegg
Email me (Steph) if you are interested in purchasing any of my night photography.
A night scene is one of the most rewarding and unique photographic subjects. A photograph taken at night can unveil subtle colors and impart an ambiance absent in any daytime exposure of the scene, or capture astronomical phenomena realized only upon an extended exposure. A candle becomes a glowing beacon in a warmly lit room; stars become colorful streaks through an inky sky; a dimly moonlit mountain becomes blanketed with glowing light and deep shadows.
Night photography has become one of my favorite forms of photography. My skills have been entirely self-taught, developed through countless sleepless nights fiddling with my camera under a blanket of stars. This page gives a sampling of some of my favorite night photos.
Night photography requires a good understanding of camera exposure and use of long exposure times. Understanding the simple physics of photography opens up a realm of new possibilities for the night photographer (or any photographer, for that matter). So, before the photos on this page, I discuss some of the technical aspects of night photography, such as what manual exposure settings to use and how exposure works. In addition, all photos on this page are accompanied by their exposure settings. To jump past this discussion and go directly to the photos, click the link below.

Anyone seen this game in Vegas or your local joint?
Is it a slot machine?
I have played one. There is one in a racing in west memphis. Seen a lot of good rolls on there compared to the bubble machines. Quite entertaining to watch people really get into it shooting the dice. I actually like that one vs the bubble machines. Been a while since I have played there though.
slot machine, nothing random at all

A SUPPORT group for parents of gay young people is moving its meetings to Poole.
Ricochet has been meeting in Dorchester for around a year and a half but is moving to Hamworthy as many of its existing members are from East Dorset.
Founder Colette Hill, pictured, was living in London when she found out her daughters were gay and received support from the group Families Together London.
"When I got down here, by which time I was totally cool about my daughters being gay, I realised there was nothing here for people who were having a similar experience," she said.
She said it had helped people enormously to be able to speak without fear of disapproval.
"There's an atmosphere that it's politically incorrect to mind," said Col-ette, of Bridport.
"A lot of them are worried about homophobia. They're worried about how people are going to react when they break the news. They're worried about their children's safety, about their health, especially for boys, and whether their children are going to be able to have children."
Colette added: "I went through despair, bereavement – of feeling that I didn't have the child I thought I had, which is entirely wrong of course. I still have the same children. Human emotion isn't always logical.
"Dads might make remarks like 'I've been robbed of the chance of walking her down the aisle', which when you think about it isn't true, or people will say 'He would have made such a fantastic father and now he won't be able'. But again that isn't quite right because many gay people are fostering or adapting.
"We had one person who came because she didn't mind at all about her son being gay but she minded terribly about dealing with the homophobia that was around her at work."
The group has been supported by donations from Fflag (Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) and from cosmetics company Lush.
Colette said: "As you come to terms with the situation, if that's what you have to do, there's always a growing feeling of huge pride in your child. I'm now so proud of my daughters and they've both got lovely girlfriends."
n Ricochet's next monthly meeting is on Saturday March 1, 2.30pm, at Hamworthy. For details and the venue, email email@example.com or ring the helpline on 07803 309781.

Although Dan Uggla extended his hititing streak to 33 games, it was not enough to save another rough outing from Derek Lowe, as the Chicago Cubs evened the weekend series with the Atlanta Braves.
Lowe was off from the start, as Starlin Castro and Darwin Barney led off the game with singles and Castro was driven in on a sacrifice fly by Aramis Ramirez. Though he limped through the next three innings, Carlos Pena hit a two-run double in the fifth inning.
Lowe's troubles were capped in the sixth after he gave up a one-out triple to Tyler Colvin on a deep flyball that Michael Bourn had in his glove until he crashed into the center field wall, causing the ball to pop out. Geovany Soto then hit a groundball with the infield pulled in. Chipper Jones tried to get Colvin at the plate, but threw the ball to the backstop.
After Randy Wells sacrificed to get Soto to second, Castro drove him in with a single, the final of the 10 hits and five runs Lowe gave up in six innings.
"I felt way worse last year than I do now, but you're getting the same results," Lowe said. "That's the head-scratching thing."
Lowe went into September last season with a record of 11-12, a 4.53 ERA and an opponents' batting average of .278. He won all five September 2010 while allowing four runs over 30 2/3 innings.
"You've got eight starts left," Lowe said. "We're in a good position as a team."
Uggla had put the Braves in good position when he tied the game in the fourth inning with a solo shot . He had already extended his hitting streak to 33 games in the first inning with a single off Wells.
"I ain't complaining about getting them out of the way in the first inning either," Uggla said about easing his teammates' nerves by extending the streak early in the game. "It takes a little bit of the edge off."
Jones also looked like the Chipper of old with a three-hit performance – including two doubles – to bring his average up to .273. Jones also drove in Martin Prado with a sacrifice in the bottom of the ninth to bring the score to its 8-4 final.
The Philadelphia Phillies's win puts them back to 8.5 games in front of the Braves, though the Braves are still five games in front of the San Francisco Giants in the Wild Card race.
Brandon Beachy (5-2, 3.43 ERA) will pitch for the Braves against Matt Garza (5-9, 3.81 ERA) in the rubber game of the series Sunday at 1:35 EDT.Tags: Atlanta, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, Chipper Jones, Dan Uggla, Derek Lowe, MLB

Res John Burman
Appalachia, Applachia. - Poem by Res John Burman
Appalachia, your green mountains are weeping black tears.
Mine Owners. Your neighbours are living in fear.
You're raping the mountains and Good Mother Earth,
Your millions are nothing to what this land is worth!
Appalachia, your sons have fought in all wars,
They've given their lives so what's yours remains yours!
They've marched off to battle for that Dread God Mars,
Would you have them return to a land that's all scars
Appalachia, Appalachia, I know you of old,
Your songs are worth more than silver and gold.
Scots - Irish and English and Cornishmen too,
All men who sang here when this land was new.
Appalachia, your mountains will always need trees,
To hold back the rainfall, like the shore holds the seas,
Without them you rivers will run clear no more,
But be thick with slime like a slaughter-house floor!
Appalachia, your mountains should be sacred lands.
To show what your God could do with His hands.
Mountain Top Removal is a crime against Him!
And a crime against nature, a terrible sin!
Appalachia, the time has more than come round,
Time to start healing on this Holy Ground.
Your men folk have fought that all men might be free.
That freedom should apply both to you and to me!
Who wants to hear the rumble of dynamite all day?
Or giant earthmovers where the blue jay should play!
The shareholders and mine owners don't live around here,
So time to leave the mountains to the people who care!
America, America, come listen to this prayer,
It'll be too late to save 'em when the mountains ain't there!
Appalachia, come waken, and nevermore say,
Mr Peabody's Coal Train has carried us away!
Appalachia, Appalachia, I know you of old,
Your trees should be valued much higher than gold,
The green lungs of the mountains in the Land of the Free
Not a scar on a Mother, where her breast used to be!
(28th May 2008)

I mention Twitter quite often, but I'm not sure I really effectively convey how important this tool is to me and how many times a day it provides something meaningful and helpful to my practice.
This week, I am using online catalog bingo with 3rd grade students. They are loving it and it is a fabulously fun way to experience our online catalog while learning how it works. Where did I get this idea? Twitter.

Last week I tweeted about our Skype session with the Yellowstone Park Ranger and I heard from @campreadsmore
Thanks to you @scsdmedia , I'm currently in the process of scheduling a Skype for Ss with @YellowstoneNPS at Camp Read Smore! Thank u both!
— Kelly Spector (@campreadsmore) May 7, 2014
That tweet and her follow led me to her library web page, where I found this delightful video,
which I shared with the first grade teachers. Within minutes, I got an email from one of them saying "I want to do this" which was quickly followed by a couple other teachers saying the same thing. Now we are trying to arrange a time to plan on how to make it happen.
Kelly Spector, @campreadsmore also tweeted out one of my all time favorite videos. The longer I am active on social media, the more true it is: what is obvious to you is amazing to others.

It's SERIOUSLY cheesy, and completely South Philly, starring the owner, Tony Luke Jr. You shoot blonde haired ninjas running amok at a South Philly wedding hall, trying to thwart the plans of the EVIL DR. MONELLA, who has stolen the Tony Luke's recipe disk! Man. It doesn't get better than this.

Why Choose Tonicology
Our authentic strains of Antrodia cinnamomea have a rDNA similarity of 99.7% compared to wild-type Antrodia found in nature, as identified by NCBI's global genome database, GenBank (the less than 1% variance is attributed to genetic diversity within any species, much like how all humans have the same genetic code but slightly different DNA). We infuse these pure strains with micro-nutrients during each maturation stage at optimal temperatures, humidity and geomagnetic conditions. These proprietary processes cultivate both the precious fruiting bodies and mycelia of the Antrodia cinnamomea mushroom. Laboratory analysis shows our pure Antrodia cinnamomea extract contains bioactive ingredients that match and exceed those associated with the rare wild mushroom.
Our Antrodia mushrooms are 100% pure and 100% mushroom.
The other key to cultivating any biologically active mushroom is "Geographical Authenticity", because only natural micro-habitat conditions can give each mushroom its unique biomedical features. Our Antrodia cinnamomea is cultivated in geographically authentic conditions that mimic their natural habitat, which is the only way to maximize their potency. They are enriched with a plethora of micro-nutrients, including rare minerals and trace elements that are often lacking from our daily diet. They do not contain any residues and are. All products are safe, hygienic, clean, and 100% free of impurity and microbial contamination.
Our liquid mushroom extracts typically contain over 25 g/L of polysaccharides.

History of Wild Antrodia Cinnamomea*
Antrodia cinnamomea, formerly named Antrodia camphorata, is a rare medicinal mushroom well-known for its miraculous effect on a number of health conditions, making it an increasingly popular health supplement for its versatile properties.
Liver cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths for men and the second leading cause of cancer deaths for women, according to the Taiwan Department of Health. In fact, liver damage caused by liver cancer and hepatitis B is 1 of most prevalent malignant diseases today. Excessive alcohol, stress, late nights, poor diets, smoking, and even drug abuse all contribute to liver deterioration. Recent research suggests Antrodia cinnamomea can be an effective complementary supplement to assist liver function and combat hepatits B infections.
The mushroom may be effective in naturally stimulating the immune system. Studies have shown that Antrodia cinnamomea may have antioxidant properties that help reduce free radical damage, associated with aging. Its also been called a promising chemotherapeutic drug for cancer by researchers and may be used in the future for chemoprevention, which uses natural agents to prevent the initiation or spread of symptoms caused by carcinogenesis.
Often called the medicinal fungus of fortune, Antrodia cinnamomea is only found in Taiwan and grows slowly in the trunk cavities of the endangered camphor tree Cinnamomum kanehirai, a broad-leafed evergreen tree that grows at altitudes of 450-2000 meters in low-elevation mountainous terrain. This peculiar combination of slow growth and host-specific requirements makes this mushroom one of the highest priced food items in the world with prices up to US $11,000 per pound.

Advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations (deletion in exon 19 or L858R) show an impressive progression-free survival of 14 months when treated with erlotinib. However, the presence of EGFR mutations can only imperfectly predict outcome. We hypothesized that progression-free survival could be influenced both by the pretreatment EGFR T790M mutation and by components of DNA repair pathways.

Fur Rondy brings economic boost to Anchorage
Businesses near the festival say they see between 2,000 and 3,000 people come through their doors each day during the festival.
ANCHORAGE – The 79th annual Fur Rondy is in full swing in Downtown Anchorage, attracting thousands of visitors from around the state and the world.
All of those people bring a big boost to the local economy.
Local business owners located near the heart of the Rondy action can see their business grow by 1,000 percent during the 10-day event. In the past, Rondy had been in decline, but board member Lori Brewer said about six years ago, organizers started working to bring the festival back.
They added events like the Running of the Reindeer and Rondy's popularity jumped.
Now businesses near the festival say they see between 2,000 and 3,000 people come through their doors each day during the festival.
All those visitors spend money, bringing a boost to their bottom lines.
"It's fabulous for our tourism industry because we have people checking into our hotels, eating at our restaurants and visiting all of our shops and so it has a huge economic impact," Brewer said.
Organizers said having Rondy run for 10 days — including two weekends — is another way the festival provides a boost to the economy.
Many visitors will stay for the whole event, rather than if it just ran one weekend.

Pittsburghers are caught up with 'Bucs fever'
In the days leading up to the Pirates' road series last weekend in Toronto and Washington, closer Joel Hanrahan's Twitter account lit up with messages from fans.
"I had all kinds of people telling me on Twitter, 'We're driving up to Toronto,' and 'I'm coming to D.C. to see you play,' " Hanrahan said. "They're coming out to support us. People are proud to wear their black and yellow. We're seeing it everywhere. People are alive again for baseball."
For too many years, Pirates games were merely a way to pass the warm months between the final game of the Stanley Cup playoffs and the start of Steelers training camp. But the team's surprising run toward the top of the National League Central standings has made the Pirates relevant again for Pittsburgh sports fans.
For the week of June 20, Pirates games on Root Sports were the No. 1-rated cable television broadcasts in the region. That stretch included four victories by the Pirates in six games against the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox.
Overall, TV ratings for Pirates games are up 33 percent from a year ago, according to Pirates chief marketing officer Lou DePaoli. The June 26 game against Boston was the fifth-highest-rated game since FSN Pittsburgh/Root began carrying the team in 1997.
Merchandise sales at PNC Park are up 23 percent compared to last season — a "dramatic increase," DePaoli said. A big seller this week has been a replica All-Star Game jersey with Hanrahan's name across the back.
"A lot of people are getting caught up in Bucs fever," DePaoli said. "We're definitely seeing an uptick in ticket sales."
DePaoli said ticket sales Tuesday were twice as large as every other day this year except when tickets were initially released at PirateFest in January. DePaoli declined to reveal exact numbers of sales.
Sales have been especially strong for the games this weekend against the Chicago Cubs and the first six home games after the All-Star break against the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals.
The Pirates already have sold out eight home games, two more than all of last season. DePaoli hopes to reach double digits this weekend.
"We sold thousands of tickets (Tuesday) for Friday's game," DePaoli said. "Friday is just short of selling out. Saturday is standing-room only."
Tickets also are moving briskly for the Aug. 19-21 series against the Reds, which includes one of the popular SkyBlast fireworks shows.
DePaoli's staff is trying to use the surge in single-ticket sales to increase full and partial season-ticket plans.
When a fan orders tickets, his or her name is immediately placed in a database. The next day, a sales rep makes a follow-up call.
"If they buy tickets to, say, four games, we try to get them to upgrade to a 10-game plan," DePaoli said.
And, yes, fans already have begun asking about playoff tickets.
"People have been asking for weeks," DePaoli said. "We tell them it's a little bit early ... but if they buy a full-season plan, they can guarantee their seat."

Yes, it's true. You can harness the power of Flash to extend Bridge CS3 to build your own features. I just uploaded an example of this to the Bridge section on the Adobe Exchange website.
Once loaded into the Bridge startup scripts folder, the BridgeExportToJPEG extension will demonstrate a Flash UI panel in Bridge that is functional in driving Bridge to create JPEGs and manipulate XMP metadata. All the thumbnails that are created in Bridge are JPEG based, so it is possible to export these thumbnails as JPEGs – for example if you want to create a JPEG catalog or quickly send JPEGs of your RAW files. I've also included the FLA file for tweaking. It's all available under a BSD license.
Get started with the Bridge and XMP SDKs, if you are thinking of connecting to an Asset Management system, check out the Version Cue SDK.

It took me 11 days but I finally did it. 1500 kill shots on undead with Mandy Stab.
Thf really get the short end of the stick because you have to stack Mandy Stab with SA or TA. So even if you bring a brd, cor, whm combo you are still stuck on your slow SA and TA timers.
And Mandy Stab is horrible damage on EP/DC monsters if you compare it to Dancing Edge. Mandy Stab will shine on IT+ monsters. But killing 1500 IT+ monsters is kind of...........unpractical.
Not to mention the fact that SE still has not fixed the "lock" problem for thf. Each time I get hit with a buff/debuff/nuke I get locked in my animation. If I happen to use SAws at the time my SA gets split up from my ws. Which I don't want!
I think I killed around 300 extra undead because of this. It is really annoying thf and /thf have to deal with this "lock" problem.
The first few days I spend looking for a good camp with friendly undead monsters. I finally found this place in The Eldieme Necropolis [S]
When you tele into The Eldieme Necropolis [S] walk to the north room, sneak up, and drop down. From there you can walk to the pink dot shown on the map. You will also need invis for the goblins and tigers.
The area around the pink dot has 23 DC spriggans. These belong to the Shadow family. Wiki is listing them incorrectly as fomors which they are not.
Fomors will strip tp amongst other things. Which is bad when you are trying to kill stuff with Mandy Stab.
Spriggans have just one tp move: Dimensional Death: High damage, single target physical attack. This move will hit you for 250dmg max. But more often then not it will do less damage or miss you completely.
The Eldieme Necropolis [S] has lots of earth weather. Again wiki is wrong about this. It says there is no weather effect at all in The Eldieme Necropolis [S]. Ice and earth weather are both possible.
The earth weather is great because one of the sword trials is: kill 150 undead during earth day or earth weather. So I was able to team up a few times with a pld and rdm.
It is also possible to bring /bst here. Right outside the camp, shown with the red dot, are EP tigers which bring lots of extra DoT to the fight. Though I went /nin most of the time because of the extra damage X knife gave me on Mandy Stab.
And last but not least hardly anybody knows about this camp. During the 11 days I was there I saw zero people. Not counting the people I brought of coarse.
At 35 base damage Vajra is now where it should have been when I got the dagger. It can only get better from here on out. Unless the next Trial in June will be: 1500 kill shots on Tiamat during dark weather on darksday. SE please be nice to me. Thank you!

(Reuters) - Detroit Tigers third basemen Miguel Cabrera suffered a minor fracture below his right eye after getting hit by a grounder in a spring training game but is hopeful for the regular season opener, the team said on Tuesday.
Cabrera, who has shifted to third base from first base to accommodate Detroit's free-agent signing of Prince Fielder, will be shut down for a week and be re-evaluated after that, but is expected to be fit for his team's season opener on April 5.
The slugger may have been spared a more serious injury from Hunter Pence's grounder on Monday as the ball deflected off his sunglasses during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
"I don't think there's any question that his sunglasses helped him a great deal yesterday," Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said in a report on the team's website.
"Who knows what would've happened yesterday if he didn't have the sunglasses on, because you could see the imprint of the baseball on his sunglasses, the seams on there."
Cabrera left the field bleeding under his right eye after fracturing his orbital bon and underwent a battery of tests on Monday and Tuesday.
The six-time All-Star hammered 30 home runs, drove in 105 runs and led the American League with a .344 batting average last season for the AL Central Division champions.

Miami - PGA Tour rookie Charlie Beljan claimed the Children's Miracle Network Classic in impressive fashion on Sunday, winning by two strokes in Florida to secure a PGA Tour card for the next two years just two days after a hospital stay.
Beljan fired a three-under-par 69 to finish at 16-under-par for the tournament, besting fellow Americans Robert Garrigus (68) and Matt Every (68) who tied for second at 14-under while Brian Gay (70) was a shot further back in fourth.
Suffering heart palpitations and shortness of breath during the second round, the 28-year-old spent Friday night in hospital but still managed to enter the final round with a two-stroke lead.
Starting the week at 139th on the money list and facing the prospect of losing his tour card for 2013, Beljan traded two bogeys with two birdies over the first five holes, leading many to believe his symptoms would eventually get the better of him.
But in a stunning turn of events he rammed home five birdies in a six hole run between the seventh and 12th holes to put a gap on the field and lead by as many as five.
A nervous double bogey after tree and sand trouble on the 13th was just a temporary stumble as another birdie on the 14th allowed Beljan to regain control of his round and although he bogeyed the final hole he still did more than enough to claim his first career tour win. - Reuters

The Hobbit
The Desolation of Smaug
By: Keanu Raye Calimbo
To: Ms. Archele N. Baldaya
February 2, 2014
At the Prancing Pony Inn in Bree, Gandalf the Grey warns Thorin Oakenshield that someone is trying to have him killed. He persuades Thorin to obtain the Arkenstone to unite the dwarves, and suggests that a stealthy burglar may be needed to steal the jewel back from Smaug.
A year later, Thorin and his company are being pursued by Azog and his Orc party down the Carrock following the events of the previous film. After Bilbo informs the group that a bear is also tracking them, Gandalf ushers them along to the home of a skin-changer. Upon their arrival, they are attacked by the same bear; Gandalf reveals that it is the home Beorn and that he may be able to aid them in their journey. That night, Azog is summoned to Dol Guldur by the Necromancer, and instructs his son Bolg to take over the hunt for Thorin. The next day, Beorn loans his horses to the company so they reach Mirkwood, and hinder the pursuing Orcs. Upon arrival at the forest border, Gandalf discovers Black Speech graffiti imprinted on an old ruin, coinciding with a telepathic message from Galadriel imploring him to investigate the tombs of the Nazgûl.
Without giving any reason for his sudden departure, Gandalf advises the company to follow the Elven path though Mirkwood, and to wait for him before entering the Lonely Mountain. But upon losing their way in the forest, the Dwarves are captured by giant spiders. Bilbo, with the help of the One Ring, manages to free them from the webs and names his sword Sting. However, while fighting the attacking spiders, the Dwarves are captured by the Wood-elves including Legolas and Tauriel, a captain of the guard. During their captivity, a romantic subplot develops between Tauriel and Kili.
While the others are imprisoned, Thorin is given audience with the elf-king Thranduil, but he refuses Thranduil's aid and is imprisoned as well. Under the cloak of the ring, Bilbo helps the Dwarves to escape by using empty wine barrels, which are sent floating down the river. Along the way, they are ambushed by Bolg and his Orc party, while the elves pursue the Dwarves to cease their escape. In the ensuing chaos, Kili is wounded by a Morgul arrow. Legolas and Tauriel are forced to halt their pursuit of the Dwarves in order to end the Orc onslaught. One captive is imprisoned and questioned by Thranduil. When Thranduil learns that "The One" has returned, he decides to seal off his kingdom to protect it from the impending evil. However, Tauriel leaves to save Kili, who she learns has been poisoned by the orc's arrow, and Legolas accompanies her.
Subsequently, the Company meets a man named Bard and bribe him to smuggle them into Esgaroth, the lake town where the descendants of Dale made their home, and where the Master of the Town rules with an iron fist. The group attempt to steal weapons before being captured and in the process learn that Bard is a descendant of Dale's ruler, Girion, who died attempting to kill Smaug with Black Arrows. After Thorin convinces the townfolk and Master that they will share the riches of the recaptured mountain, the adventurers receive a grand send-off. The injured Kili is ordered to remain behind while Oin, Fili, and Bofur remain to tend him in Bard's house.
As the events of Thorin's company occurs, Gandalf reaches the remote tomb of the Nazgûl and found that they have been revived. He is joined by Radagast, and it is revealed that the Necromancer cannot be a mere human as the Nazgûl answer only to one master. Returning to Mirkwood, while sending Radagast to warn Galadriel of their discovery, Gandalf enters the orc-infested Dol Guldur and is attacked by Azog. While attempting to escape, the Necromancer appears, and, following a duel between the two, Gandalf is captured. With his worst fears realized – that the Necromancer is indeed Sauron – Gandalf watches in horror as the orc army marches towards the Lonely Mountain.
Once at the Lonely Mountain, Bilbo deciphers the map's cryptic clue and uses moonlight to find the hidden keyhole that opens the secret door into the mountain. Balin then explains Bilbo's real purpose and send him down to the treasury to locate the Arkenstone. Unfortunately, Bilbo's searching quickly awakens Smaug, who initially finds the hobbit amusing but swiftly tires of him and intends to kill him. In Laketown, Bard hears the rumbling caused by Smaug's awakening and attempts to affix the last Black Arrow to the town's launcher, but is arrested. Oin, Fili, Bofur, and Bard's daughters are attacked by Bolg's hunting party before Legolas and Tauriel drive them off, with the latter remaining behind to tend to Kili. Then in a dream like state after his medication Kili admits his love for Tauriel. After convincing Thorin that they must help Bilbo, the Dwarves enter the mountain and find themselves and the Hobbit being hunted by Smaug. Tricking the fire-breathing Smaug into rekindling the forges, they attempt to kill the dragon by trapping him under a flood of molten gold. However, Smaug survives and stumbles out of the mountain determined to make the people of Lake-Town suffer for giving aid to the Dwarves, leaving Bilbo horrified at the turn of events.

" Brand: Tesco / Type: Fish "
~~Tesco's Breaded Scampi~~~
While waiting for Dooyoo to add my latest suggestion I thought I would quickly pop a review on about the tea I've just whipped up for my son and his mate.
I'm not a great lover of Scampi but my son adores it. I've always been a bit reluctant to pay over the top prices for food I don't but have often picked up scampi for him from the local Co-op, usually priced at £2.50 - £3.00. However when I was shopping in Tesco'c the other day I saw their own value brand of breaded scampi at £1.89 for a 300g bag and thought this was a bargain.
~~~The packaging~~~
The thin plastic packet was light weight and small in size so didn't take up too much room in the trolley. The bag did however, feel pretty full to the brim so I knew I wasn't getting half a bag. I judged would be able to get 2 meals for him from this bag.
The design carries their basic blue stripes telling you quickly it was from their own value range.
On the back there are the cooking instructions and freezing guidlines.
I was pleased to see you could choose from 3 cooking methods for this scampi they are:
Oven - 16-18 mins - gas mark 8 / 230 degrees c / 450 degrees f
Grill - 12 -14 mins - under pre-heated grill
Deep fry - 4 mins - I'm not a lover of deep fry but it is a very quick method if your in a hurry.
~~~ Nutritional Info ~~~
Since joining Weight watchers I do tend to check the cals and fat content of packets.
per 100g
kcal - 200
protein - 9.3g
catbohydrate 20.8g
fat 8.8g
saturated fat 0.7g
polyunsaturates 2.5g
fibre 0.3g
sodium 0.3g
salt equivalent 0.8g
~~~ Appearance & smell ~~~
I was glad to see there was a generous portion of 18 pieces when I emptied the bag onto a baking tray. 2 pieces looked as if they were actually 2 smaller ones stuck together. There was also 1 tiny piece that I thought I might have a go at tasting. Each piece had a golden colour to it that looked very appetitizing.
The smell was - obviously - quite fishy but not an over-powering one that makes your nostrils disappear inside themselves. ( you know - they smell you get from a the fish market at lunch-time!)
~~~ Taste ~~~
After a short time of 18 mins I pulled out the tray and served onto the boys plates along with chips and sweetcorn - bit of a yellow theme to tonight meal I thought - but thats what they wanted !!!
Well did I have a go and try the tiny piece?! Yes I was a brave 'soul' and went for it - hmm not bad - I'm not completely converted to the life of scampi but was repelled by the taste.
My son and his friends however, absolutley loved it. The plates were cleaned (unfortunately not washed and dried) within minutes.
Both boys said it tasted exactly the same as the CO-OP version I usually buy for twice as much. Result - 2 happy boys with happy tummies and 1 happy mum who's saved herself some pennies.
Absolutely - I am certainly putting these on the shopping list from now on. A bargain price and quality not compromised - well done tesco's
Thanks for reading

My mum always buys this scampi because it's just as good as Youngs or other makes and is about half the price because it's only £1.99 for a bag that's a bit bigger than brands that costs £4.00.
You cook it for about 15 minutes and while it's cooking it smells like normal scampi because you can smell the breadcrumbs and a very faint fishy smell.
When it's cooked to me it tastes exactly the same as the scampi I brought last week from Sainsburys that was one of the top makes and cost a lot more than this. The breadcrumbs break apart more when its cooking but things like that don't bother me because it's not like I'm going to sit looking at them for ages, I'm going to eat them!
My fave sauce to go with scampi is Sainsburys blue cheese sauce because I think it brings out the taste real well. Sometimes it can overpower the scampi itself a bit but you're ok if you only put a tiny bit on the breadcrumbs. I usually have about 7 pieces of scampi on my dinner and that means the bag will do for about 3 meals and that's a bargain for £1.99.
The scampi inside the breadcrumbs is dead nice, it's not slimy feeling like a lot of cheap bags of scampi and has a nice flavour that is even better with a bit of salt and vinegar over it. The breadcrumbs are a bit strong tasting but I never eat all the breadcrumbs on scampi anyway so that doesn't bother me that much because I scrape quite a lot of them off.
Last week my great auntie came for tea and she's a proper snob, I thought her eyes were going to pop out of her head when she said how good the scampi tasted and my mum showed her the Value bag because I bet she's never eaten anything Value in her life.
I never used to be a fish person however I have developed a new love for it especially if it is in breadcrumbs or batter. I remember trying scampi as a child and loving it but for some reason up until a fortnight ago I hadn't tried it in over 5 years! My mum brought back Tesco Value Breaded Scampi from the supermarket and I was more than willing to try.
The scampi can be found in the freezer section and is in amongst the other breaded fish products. It was in the fridge with the other Tesco products however this was in the freezer next to the one with the branded fish in it such as Birds Eye. These must be kept in the freezer at home too even when they have been opened already and are being put back.
They come in a decent 300g packet. This packet costs £1.99. Personally I find this really good. A 250g packet of the branded Kintyre scampi will cost a whopping £3.99. This is £2 more than the Tesco scampi and is also a smaller bag! Therefore this is worth choosing especially if you aren't too fussed on quality or are trying to save a bit of dosh!
They come in a plain, pretty boring Tesco value bag. There is the usual information on it including ingredients and nutrition as well as given the basic product information. There is no succulent looking pictures on the wrapper which I tend to be swayed by. The bag is see through though so you can clearly see the pieces of scampi through It!
All of the cooking information is on the back of the packet and is easy enough to follow. It depends on your cooker or fryer as to how long to cook them for. I opted for oven cooking as it seems a bit healthier and totally contradicting myself I decided to serve them up for lunch with chips and vegetables! For one person, me, I had 7 pieces of the scampi however depending on your appetite or how hungry you are you may want to change this! They didn't look overly appealing when out of the packet. They were a decent size but they did look a bit pale.
After they had finished cooking, a delicious smell filled the air. It was gorgeous and really fishy however not over poweringly so. The smell of breadcrumbs were pretty strong too and this gave it a bit more of a "fun" feeling to it. They were easy to serve up and hadn't stuck to the tray at all however they were very hot so be careful when you are serving up.
Biting in the first thing I noticed was the breadcrumb batter coating. It was fairly crispy but this is when I began to understand why they were so cheap. The coating was fairly thin and although with a nice enough taste didn't have an awful lot of flavour. I ended up slapping on the salt and pepper and brown sauce to my meal. the fish inside was nice and flaky but again didn't have to much flavour. Overall the taste was decent but it really reflected the price!
150g so half a packet contains 295 calories and 14.3 g of fat. Personally I find that this isn't too bad!
I adore scampi so was pleased to see that Tesco have recently started producing bags of breaded scampi as part of their Value range. A 300g bag of scampi costing just £1.99 will slash many people's shopping bills as this is generally a very high priced item in relation to what you actually get for your money.
As with most brands of scampi you can either cook this in the oven or deep fry it, personally I use the oven method as I don't fry many things and it's also easier to put something in the oven rather than having to stand over a fryer.
The scampi when still frozen looks rather unappetising if I'm honest. The breadcrumb coating looks very dusty and the appearance of the different sized pieces is almost as though it has suffered from freezer burn. Not to be put off by this I proceeded to cook them for the advised time and was impressed when they came out of the oven that the breadcrumbs had turned a lovely golden brown and most of the pieces looked absolutely indistinguishable from the more expensive brands I usually buy.
The scampi is of varying sizes, but I was happy to find that the different sized pieces related to the size of the scampi itself rather than the amount of breadcrumbs on them. By this I mean that the largest piece on my plate was the largest piece of scampi, not the one with the thickest coating - something which often irritates me when buying this frozen fish.
My only complaint about this Value Scampi is the fact that on some of the pieces the breadcrumbs split slightly (and not so slightly in some cases) which did ruin the appearance of them somewhat, although this didn't spoil my enjoyment of the taste in any way so this is a minor concern really.
The taste of scampi itself is hard to describe. Scampi has a delicate texture and flavour which is livened up by the addition of the breadcrumbs, the fish has an almost slimy consistency much like solidified oyster meat which is actually much more pleasant than it sounds. There is very little to differentiate this cheaper scampi from it's more expensive counterparts; the fish is meaty with that wet 'spongy' texture you would expect, I'm impressed with the fresh sea food flavour of the scampi and also the crunchy golden breadcrumbs.
I usually add a little lemon juice or a dollop of tartare sauce to this scampi and serve with home made potato wedges and a salad for a tasty meal that is very reminiscent of that you would pay £6 or £7 for in any pub restaurant.
The main thing you may want to know is how this cheap scampi compares to other brands, of which you can expect to pay up to £5 for a similar sized bag. Well, their nearest rival (Tesco standard own brand) is only 20p more expensive for the same sized bag but personally I do prefer this Value product as the overall eating experience is far less greasy than the standard Tesco scampi. Kintyre Scampi is around £4 for a 250g bag and it's this one that I'd say the taste of the Value Scampi is most like, admittedly it doesn't look as pretty but it's surely the flavour you are after when buying any food and considering it's exactly half the price I can say that this is certainly a resounding bargain from the Tesco Value range.

Target Tehran: Washington sets stage for a new confrontation
The United States is moving closer to war with Iran by accusing the "highest levels" of the Iranian government of supplying sophisticated roadside bombs that have killed 170 US troops and wounded 620.
The allegations against Iran are similar in tone and credibility to those made four years ago by the US government about Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction in order to justify the invasion of 2003.
Senior US defence officials in Baghdad, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they believed the bombs were manufactured in Iran and smuggled across the border to Shia militants in Iraq. The weapons, identified as "explosively formed penetrators" (EFPs) are said to be capable of destroying an Abrams tank.
The officials speaking in Baghdad used aggressive rhetoric suggesting that Washington wants to ratchet up its confrontation with Tehran. It has not ruled out using armed force and has sent a second carrier task force to the Gulf.
"We assess that these activities are coming from senior levels of the Iranian government," said an official in Baghdad, charging that the explosive devices come from the al-Quds Brigade and noting that it answers to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader. This is the first time the US has openly accused the Iranian government of being involved in sending weapons that kill Americans to Iraq.
The allegations by senior but unnamed US officials in Baghdad and Washington are bizarre. The US has been fighting a Sunni insurgency in Iraq since 2003 that is deeply hostile to Iran.
The insurgent groups have repeatedly denounced the democratically elected Iraqi government as pawns of Iran. It is unlikely that the Sunni guerrillas have received significant quantities of military equipment from Tehran. Some 1,190 US soldiers have been killed by so-called improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Iraq since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. But most of them consist of heavy artillery shells (often 120mm or 155mm) taken from the arsenals of the former regime and detonated by blasting caps wired to a small battery. The current is switched on either by a command wire or a simple device such as the remote control used for children's toys or to open garage doors.
Such bombs were used by guerrillas during the Irish war of independence in 1919-21 against British patrols and convoys. They were commonly used in the Second World War, when "shaped charges", similar in purpose to the EFPs of which the US is now complaining, were employed by all armies. The very name - explosive formed penetrators - may have been chosen to imply that a menacing new weapon has been developed.
At the end of last year the Baker-Hamilton report, written by a bipartisan commission of Republicans and Democrats, suggested opening talks with Iran and Syria to resolve the Iraq crisis. Instead, President Bush has taken a precisely opposite line, blaming Iran and Syria for US losses in Iraq.
In the past month Washington has arrested five Iranian officials in a long-established office in Arbil, the Kurdish capital. An Iranian diplomat was kidnapped in Baghdad, allegedly by members of an Iraqi military unit under US influence. President George Bush had earlier said that Iranians deemed to be targeting US forces could be killed, which seemed to be opening the door to assassinations.
The statements from Washington give the impression that the US has been at war with Shia militias for the past three-and-a-half years while almost all the fighting has been with the Sunni insurgents. These are often led by highly trained former officers and men from Saddam Hussein's elite military and intelligence units. During the Iran-Iraq war between 1980 and 1988, the Iraqi leader, backed by the US and the Soviet Union, was able to obtain training in advanced weapons for his forces.
The US stance on the military capabilities of Iraqis today is the exact opposite of its position in four years ago. Then President Bush and Tony Blair claimed that Iraqis were technically advanced enough to produce long-range missiles and to be close to producing a nuclear device. Washington is now saying that Iraqis are too backward to produce an effective roadside bomb and must seek Iranian help.
The White House may have decided that, in the run up to the 2008 presidential election, it would be much to its political advantage in the US to divert attention from its failure in Iraq by blaming Iran for being the hidden hand supporting its opponents.
It is likely that Shia militias have received weapons and money from Iran and possible that the Sunni insurgents have received some aid. But most Iraqi men possess weapons. Many millions of them received military training under Saddam Hussein. His well-supplied arsenals were all looted after his fall. No specialist on Iraq believes that Iran has ever been a serious promoter of the Sunni insurgency.
The evidence against Iran is even more insubstantial than the faked or mistaken evidence for Iraqi WMDs disseminated by the US and Britain in 2002 and 2003. The allegations appear to be full of exaggerations. Few Abrams tanks have been destroyed. It implies the Shias have been at war with the US while in fact they are controlled by parties which make up the Iraqi government.

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad struck a defiant tone on the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution yesterday, telling his people that his country would not give up uranium enrichment but was prepared to talk with the international community.
Conspicuously absent from Mr Ahmadinejad's speech was an expected announcement that Iran had started installing 3,000 centrifuges to enrich uranium at its Natanz plant. The President's relative restraint is widely believed to show the influence of moderate voices within the ruling Islamic establishment telling him not to make provocative statements that could heighten tensions between Iran and the West.
That restraint was not matched in Washington yesterday, where talk focused on a long anticipated briefing blaming weapons and training directed by Tehran for the deaths of US personnel in Iraq. The claims flew in the face of previous admissions by the Bush administration that its case against Iran could not be proved. Less than 10 days ago, the Defence Secretary, Robert Gates, told senators that it could not be said with certainty that Iran was supporting such attacks.
Mr Gates said last Friday: "I don't know how many times the President, Secretary [of State Condoleezza] Rice and I have had to repeat that we have no intention of attacking Iran." But there is suspicion in some quarters that the US may be seeking to provoke an "incident" that would open the way to launch air strikes aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear enrichment programme.
Juan Cole, professor of Middle East history at the University of Michigan and author of a respected political blog, wrote: "The attempt to blame these US deaths on Iran is in my view a black psy-ops operation. The claim is framed as though this was a matter of direct Iranian government transfer to the deadliest guerrillas.
The allegations come just a week after the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), supposedly the collective view of the US intelligence community, said that while "Iranian lethal support for select groups of Iraqi Shia militants clearly intensifies the conflict ... the involvement of these outside actors is not likely to be a major driver of violence ... because of the self-sustaining character of Iraq's internal sectarian dynamics."
Indeed, many commentators have pointed out that Sunni insurgents rather than Shia militias are responsible for most attacks against US forces.

As for the ''Bronzed Wallabies'', their World Cup campaign fell short, prompting queries such as:
Maybe. But it should not be used as an excuse because they had the required mix of youth and experience to do better than finishing third. They were never going to beat the All Blacks on New Zealand soil, but a finals appearance last night, rather than being involved in a meaningless bronze-medal game, would have been a far more appealing outcome. However, their inability to think on their feet against Ireland was their downfall and, to be perfectly honest, they were blessed when completely outplayed by South Africa in the quarter-finals but still somehow got through. Third is better than getting knocked out in the quarters, but it shouldn't camouflage the fact a Wallabies overhaul is required.
The Wallabies have a few weeks off before heading to London and Cardiff to play the Barbarians and Wales, and while this trip is primarily to improve the financial state of the Australian Rugby Union, it should be treated as an important few weeks where the Test selectors can experiment. With Quade Cooper gone for probably nine months, a Test pivot needs to be found. Berrick Barnes will be given a chance on the tour at five-eighth, but also why not try James O'Connor at No.10 against the Barbarians? O'Connor was, with David Pocock, the World Cup standout for the Wallabies, and it is time to give him more responsibility by either playing him at five-eighth or inside-centre. And in the 26-man touring squad, the Wallabies must pick Reds midfielder Ben Tapuai. He and his Reds back-row teammate Beau Robinson should have been in the World Cup squad. Now is the time for the selectors to right that wrong.
The scrum is still a serious problem area, so they should bring in forwards doctor and Waratahs coach Michael Foley to sort it all out. Ewen McKenzie must also be involved as a consultant because he has the strongest of relationships with so many important Wallabies. They would relish having him around. And if the Wallabies are to persist with their territory game, by tossing away so much possession through kicking it down field, then why not get someone who can teach them how to kick properly. Kicking is fine, but not when the Wallabies attempt it because so many of the attempts are poor, misguided and wasted. Booting a football is not that hard a skill. It just needs someone proficient to teach them the basics.
It's early days. But if the Wallabies are able to hold on for another four years such talents as Pocock, O'Connor, Cooper, Will Genia, Digby Ioane and Kurtley Beale, who are all bound to be tossed enormous offers from overseas clubs particularly, as well as cultivating a stronger forward pack, they are a chance. Who will be coaching the Wallabies in four years is open to debate, and the only way Robbie Deans can consolidate his position is dramatically improving his win-loss ratio. The 2013 British and Irish Lions tour of Australia will be crucial for his and the Wallabies' future.

Susan Lee-Horton Beautiful book. A true work of love. I am working on similar projects and found your book very inspiring. I find it sad future generations won't have this type of history to look back on as the correspondence of today is mostly on the Internet. Well done and all best wishes.

India plans to break over 70 Guinness World Records and also create some spectacular new world records on a new TV show.
Bollywood star Preity Zinta makes her first appearance on the small screen by hosting 'Guinness World Records - Ab India Todega'.
Supporting Preity will be Shabbir Ahluwalia, who will be anchoring the outdoor feats in the show.
Talking about the new offering, Ashvini Yardi, Programming Head – COLORS said, "The Indian talent may have been offered with multiple rewards but to be recognized as Guinness World Records™ holder for an individual is a reward that no other reality show can offer today.
"Preity's deep sense of patriotism and her natural charm will be the guiding factor for all the Indians to do their best and beat every world record thrown in their way.
"This show gives any Indian an opportunity to go down in history with their breathtaking, unusual and heart – wrenching feat.
"There is no limit to what Indians can achieve on a show like this. All in all it is a joyride into the best and the most audacious that India can offer."
Guinness World Records Adjudicators' Ms. Elizabeth Smith & Mr. Kristian Teufel will explain the rules to the participants, validate their achievements and recognize the new world records. Preity Zinta said, "Talking about her debut on small screen, actress Preity Zinta says "I have always loved adventure and more importantly loved the Indian "go getter" spirit. Guinness World Records- Ab India Todega speaks for its grandeurs.
"I feel excited to be associated with the show. The plethora of talent that India has is magnificent and what better than an International platform like Guinness World Record™.
"There is also a feeling of pride in hosting a show that will put India on the global platform and will bring fame for the common man who can do uncommon things. The viewers are sure to have fun with a sense of patriotism and an adrenaline rush." Shabbir Ahluwalia, Preity's co-host in the show.
added, "I am delighted to be associated with a show that takes me back to my childhood. To share space with the beautiful and spunky Preity Zinta and motivating fellow Indians in achieving a prestigious title of Guinness World Records™ is definitely a matter of honour.
"After having participated in one of the most thrilling action-based reality shows, it would be interesting to watch Indians perform difficult feats."
Niret Alva, Co-founder Miditech, Pvt. Ltd said, "There are few brands like the Guinness World Records™ which lend themselves wonderfully to television and offer endless possibilities for season after season in an individual market."
Mr. Raymond Marshall, Head of Legal & Business Affairs, Guinness World Records™ said, "India's unique talent is what has struck me most. For the first time we have built an entire format around the very best record breaking talent that one country has to offer in such a way that brings their back stories, families and real emotions to the fore. I believe that there remains a wealth of untapped talent and I hope that this show will inspire more Indians to apply to Guinness World Records, and that we will welcome many more talents to our record books".
