text: Rescue officials say they expect the death toll to rise even further [AFP] Buried alive"At least 46 people have been killed so far. We are still searching for the survivors who might still be buried under their houses or buildings," Maman Susanto, a disaster management agency staff, told the AFP news agency. In video Indonesia earthquake buries scores in Java "About 18,000 houses and buildings have been damaged." Tremors from the quake, which the Indonesian Meteorological and Geophysics Agency put at a stronger 7.3, were felt hundreds of kilometres away on the neighbouring resort island of Bali. In the capital, Jakarta, thousands of people fled homes, shopping centres and office towers as highrise buildings swayed violently for at least a minute. Hospitals quickly filled with scores of injured people as the Indonesian health ministry deployed medical teams to the worst-affected town of Tasikmalaya. Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen, reporting from west Java, said one of the problems highlighted by the quake was the failure of the tsunami-warning system to function properly, after some of the sirens installed along the coast were found to be missing. The system was installed after the massive Asian tsunami in 2004 that killed thousands of people along the coastal towns in northern Sumatra five years ago. Our correspondent said that some of the survivors from Wednesday's quake were sleeping outdoors for fear of aftershocks while others in shelters were in need of food and medical aid. Dozens missing Priyadi Kardono, a disaster management agency spokesman, said more than 100 people have been hospitalised, with nearly a dozen in critical condition. In the village of Cikangkareng, Cianjur district, a landslide buried a row of homes under tonnes of rock and mud. Kardono said at least 13 bodies had been recovered while another 40 people were still listed as missing. Most of the deaths and injuries were caused by falling debris or collapsed walls and rooftops. "The earthquake was shaking everything in my house very strongly for almost a minute," Heni Maryani, a resident in the town of Sukabumi, told el Shinta radio. "I grabbed my children and ran out. I saw people were in panic. Women were screaming, and children were crying." Indonesia, a vast archipelago, straddles continental plates and is prone to frequent seismic activity along what is known as the Pacific 'ring of fire'. SOURCE: Al Jazeera and agencies

A man has died in an avalanche on a Snowdonia mountain.
The walker, in his mid-30s, fell about 150m (500ft) when a cornice collapsed on Y Garn this afternoon.
A woman who was also involved in the avalanche survived unhurt, but was shocked and shaken in the incident, which happened on Banana Gully on the 947m (3,107ft) mountain.
A Mountain Guide who was in the area rescued the woman and dug the man out of the avalanche debris but the walker had died of his injuries.
Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation was alerted to the incident at about 2.15pm and 12 members of the team were airlifted by a Sea King helicopter from RAF Valley, along with nine members of RAF Leeming Mountain Rescue Team, to the cloudbase in Cwm Clyd beneath the gully.
Chris Lloyd of the Ogwen Valley team said the man met two women students on the summit of Y Garn and the trio discussed the best way off the mountain in the bad visibility.
Cloud was covering the summit and paths on the mountain were concealed by a covering of fresh, wet snow.
The three walkers headed for the north-east ridge, a regular descent route from the summit.
Mr Lloyd said: "It looks like they wandered on to a large cornice at the top of Banana Gully. The cornice broke – about 50m long – casting the male and one female down the gully.
"The female came to rest only a short distance down. She was rescued by a passing British Mountain Guide.
"He was able to abseil down to her and bring her back to the ridge. She was shocked but unharmed.
"Then at great risk he descended the gully to look for the man. He found him further down the gully and dug him out. He found the casualty had injuries which were not compatible to life."
Mr Lloyd said the walker was well equipped and had the appropriate clothing for the conditions.
Mr Lloyd said: "Team members were flown up not knowing the full story and were prepared to probe the avalanche for more than one casualty.
"Equipped with avalanche transceivers, probes and shovels a small group made their way into the large cone of avalanche debris to the casualty, while other members stood by at a safe distance.
"The casualty was loaded onto the stretcher and sledged off the mountain down to the road."
The man's body was taken by the team's Land Rover to hospital at Bangor.
North Wales Police said they were not releasing any details at present.

I originally got this for the brow gel, but I'm super impressed with the lash side! When used over a mascara it separates, lengthens, and makes them darker :) For only a dollar I'm super happy with the quality. I recommended this to my friend who wants to try a brow tamer. On days when I dont feel like wearing makeup, I use this and I feel so groomed!
Ok so I love this product, It keeps my eyebrows in place, it makes them look clean, groomed, and looking full. I love this so much I won't use anything else, I recommend to use this with the ELF Eyebrow kit for the best results!
This brow and lash gel works amazingly great! It does it's job by keeping the eyebrow hairs in place . It does not budge whatsoever once it sets. On the other end, it does a nice job by lengthening the eyelashes a bit .
Unruly brows are tamed instantly, while lashes are glossed and perfected with an easy twist of your wrist. The eyebrow gel sets quickly. It is a great product to finish your eyebrow powder and pencil routine with. I have never found my brows cemented into place, yet have had this product last all day. As far as lashes go,I am in love. For understated perfection this lash gel is perfect for "no make-up" situations. If it is added over mascara, it magnifies thickens and lengthens your lashes. For a person who prefers a subtle brow and makeup look this is the holy grail even compared to "higher end" product lines; elf holds up to and surpasses competition!
I love this gel formula. It holds my lashes in place and my lashes don't move. I would fill in my brows with a powder or a matte brown eyeshadow and use this product to hold every hair together. It's a simple product and i use both ends just for my brows. I don't notice a big difference between the brow and mascara side. I have probably 4-5 backups because my mother likes to steal mine whenever she runs out of hers. Overall, I would recommend this to people who wants their eyebrows to stay in place and for the price, it's amazing.
I wanted to try this out after seeing someone use it in a tutorial video, and I do not regreat my purchase. The staying power is amazing. I use the eyelash side on days that I fill in my eyebrows, and the eyebrow side on the days that I do not. I will definitely repurchase. 5 out of 5.
I used to use the clear mascara by Maybelline and didn't think it was really that great as far as keeping my eyebrows in place. And, seeing as how I have to fill in my eyebrows every day, the staying power of this impressed me. This does the job and is so much cheaper! Even the first time I used it I knew I liked it better than the Maybelline clear mascara I was using before. I will keep repurchasing this!
I use this as a base for my mascara and to shape my eyebrows without using an eyebrow pencil. This product is amazing. The first time I used it I fell in love with it. I order all my e.l.f products online. They have amazing deals!
I was using a really expensive brow gel made by Dior. That gel was ok but damaging on my pockets. I must say the brow gel is perfect. Glides on smoothly with out ruining my brow powder. Also dries quickly and doesntt smudge. I wore this gel on my brows during my vacay to the bahamas and my brows stayed on from morning to morning lol. Through parties and beaches and rqin as well as sweat. I definetly recommend this product!!!
i love this brow gel! i use it for my brows only on a everyday basis,it keeps my brows in place.the package is small,i wish they would make a bigger version of this,your product goes fast so i do recommend buying more than one at a time,they are only 1.00 so not bad at all you can get them at e.l.f ,target and kmart!

Thursday, Jan. 1
Sunrise (Scott)
Scott spends about half the drive with Karula.
Sunset (Marc & Bryan)
Most of the drive was spent with Karula. There were rumors that earlier in the day, Kunyuma was seen on Karula's kill. She had an impala ewe kill in a tree and went on to also kill an impala lamb. Probably the offspring of the female, she stashes the lamb in a different tree. A few audio and signal problems today. The feed was choppy and stuttered a number of times.

How to Build a Chicken CoopWise Blog Team
Raising chickens can be a lot of fun. If you raise them properly, you and your family can have a nice steady supply of organic eggs for years to come. Also, chickens make decent pets too. If you're thinking of raising chickens, then you're going to need to pick up a chicken coop. You can always buy your own pre-fabricated chicken coop, but they're actually simple to build, so you can make your own pretty easily. Here are a few tips on how to build a chicken coop.
The Spot: First off, before you even start to build your coop, you need to pick a decent location. Ideally, your coop should be somewhere shady, like under a tree. Chickens love to sun themselves, but if they're exposed to too much sun, they can develop heat exhaustion. So, you'll need roughly four feet by four feet for the chickens' coop (the coop, for the record, is the area where they rest and lay their eggs), and an additional four or eight square feet for the chickens' "run." A run is a covered space where the chickens can run around and get a little bit of exercise—if you want your chickens to live comfortably, then this is very important.
Nest: The chickens' nest or coop needs to be about three feet off the ground. This will help to keep out any ground insects or pests, and it should help to ward off any nosy predators. Also, by elevating the chickens' coop, it will keep them dry too, and it should make the egg-collection process a bit easier (you wont have to bend down as much!). The hens need a ramp to enter their coop from the run, and it's also a great idea to build a little door so you can access the coop to clean it and gather eggs.
Sleeping and eggs: Chickens, like most birds, like to sleep at the highest point available, and they like to come together for additional warmth. So, you're going to want to build a few different roosts (or high points) for your chickens in the coop. These roosts can be simple closet rods or two by two boards, and you can suspend them about a foot or two off the ground. Chickens prefer straw-lined nooks to lay their eggs, so you can build those ordered nooks closer to the ground.
Air and light: Chickens needs plenty of fresh air and light, so make sure that the coop is exposed to some sunlight throughout the day, and that you use mesh to ensure that the inside of the coop and run are well-ventilated. Also, if your neck of the woods gets cold at night, you can add a lamp or two to the inside of your coop to help keep it warm. Lastly, make sure that your chickens' feed and their litter areas (where they use the bathroom) are kept on opposite sides of the run and coop. You don't want the chickens to accidently contaminate their feed. With a little bit of work, you can build a fantastic coop that will help keep your chickens both happy and healthy. Have a great time building the coop!

Welcome to my new blog! Clyde and Friends is intended to showcase my creative adventures and misadventures. May you always feel welcome and at home here.
This blog is still under construction. Please pardon my dust. Your patience is appreciated.
(The rest of this post is a repeat from a post at RustyBear.me.)
I hope to see all of you at my latest blog, Clyde and Friends. The reason for the move is that after feedback from a few folks I've decided that my second book to be published should be a sequel of my first book, "Clyde and I". The second book will be titled "Clyde and I Help a Hippo to Fly".
Since my first two children's books will involve "Clyde and I", I thought it would be more appropriate to use the blog with "Clyde" in the name for my creative posts.
I still plan to self-publish the story "Rusty Bear and Thomas, Too" most likely as my third children's book. Each book is fairly expensive to publish, so I've got to be extra careful which stories I publish and in which order.
The poor hippo in "Clyde and I Help a Hippo to Fly" has undergone yet another name change. I really liked "Hattie" as her name, but another author used it before me, so I've attempted to come up with a name that is very unlikely that anyone has already used in a children's book or plush toy.
And the winner is…Hippita. Hippita Hippo. The editing for the book co-starring Hippita has been completed. I will soon send it to my layout specialist for story-boarding. Then in 1-3 weeks, I plan to request the same great illustrator Josh McGill to begin the initial illustrations for "Clyde and I Help a Hippo to Fly".
As for the Kickstarter campaign, we have received pledges for 60% of the target budget. 28 people have made pledges toward this project and I am grateful to every single one of them.
Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing venture. If we don't get to 100% of the funding goal in the next 12 days, then all bets are off and I don't receive any of the money, and the people who made the pledges will pay nothing and won't get any of the rewards or incentives I've developed for them.
So, if you haven't yet made a pledge and would like to consider doing so, there is still time, but the deadline is getting closer with every hour that passes by, so please check out my Kickstarter campaign at Kickstarter.com search "Russ Towne" or "Clyde and I".
I intend for this to be my only fund-raising attempt toward my goal of kick-starting a self-funding/self-sustaining series of children's books and other creative endeavors, so please know that after this Kickstarter campaign is over I'm very unlikely to do another one or anything similar.
Kickstarter is a great idea to help creative people get started and to offer people from around the world to be able to support the arts in whatever amount works for them, and to give people an opportunity to be a part of helping these books become alive in the hands of hundreds of young children and their loved ones. But I'm finding it very distasteful to ask people for support and I'll be quite happy when the Kisckstarter campaign ends–regardless of the outcome.
Also, if you'd be so kind, please spread the word about my project so others may become aware of it, and of my books.
Thank you!

My Student Logbook works great for 2nd grade and up. I used it for my 7th grader. Cover choices include; butterflies, dinosaurs, sea life, jets, rainforest, freedom, planets, golden vines and vintage maps.
We chose rainforest because my son really loves animals!
We chose to have our planner dated, you can choose to leave the dates off if you want to. I thought it would save time to have it predated for our school year.
This program is set up a little bit differently than just using a notebook, or planner that you need to spend a lot of time writing in. You can basically use the same topics on the left side of the planner for as long as you need. The page actually overlaps the dated page and can be reused on the next dated page.
I really wanted my 7th grader to take ownership of his school day, being able to see what he has accomplished and what needs to be done still. This planner allows him the basics of knowing when he finishes Math, Science, English, Bible, etc. He can make a check mark, smiley face, or even for the younger kids utilize small stickers. The sense of accomplishment as they check off their day's requirements. It helps establish time management for the very young.
I didn't find that we could use this logbook independent of my planner though. With my older, high school students, I use a planner where I write the exact pages they need to do and assignments daily. They can then work free of me to get their work done because they are informed of the daily tasks. With The Student Logbook I do not have anywhere to write down specifics in each topic. The squares are only big enough for a check mark. I can't use the topic lines on the left because they cover a week at least in time. This is not to be considered a 'planner' because it isn't set up for enough information for the student. I find as a logbook it will best be utilized with the younger kids. I think that they can confer with Mom on what their math assignment page is, and then once they complete that they mark their logbook that it is complete. It is still giving the sense of accomplishment and some independence especially in workbooks that they know they just go on to the next page. It is a great training tool in learning how to keep log, and to plan.
If you can utilize the daily square to write a page number for the days work, you may be able to use it to some degree as a planner. I tend to use a variety of curriculum in subjects like spelling, writing and English so it wouldn't work for that. Math however would be easy to simply put the next page number in sequence as we work through just one book.

Thornbury House
Commendation Residential Design: Alterations & Additions $200K-$500K construction cost
|Mesh Design Projects
|Form 2 (Michael Harvey)
|0400 438 295
|Peter Clarke
|Thornbury, VIC
This alteration/addition fulfils a brief to create new living zones (kitchen dining sitting area) within a contemporary extension, while retaining backyard space. The design response provides carefully considered spaces for these functions, within an angled garden façade which is both dramatic and practical, as it provides shelter from the northern sun for the deck and the northern glazing to the living and kitchen.
The external cladding of spotted gum provides a finish of great warmth, and the integrated seating/ storage in the 'walls' to each side are a practical addition to the deck.
Internally, the fittings are simple yet effective, with timber and concrete finishes set off by white walls, and the window seat/aquarium/storage inset in the east wall is a delightful focal point in the sitting area.
This is an accomplished design within the constraints of a tight budget.

Lack of debate on referendum reveals need for change
OPINION:We must try to strike a better balance between democracy and regulation, write JANE SUITERand THERESA REIDY
THE ABSENCE of debate and engagement around the children's rights referendum campaign as well as evidence from several recent referendums highlights a growing disjointedness between the needs of democracy and the heavily regulated environment for plebiscites in Ireland.
The negative result of the regulations is growing ever clearer. Earlier this month an Irish Times poll reported a dearth of public knowledge of the issues involved, with some three out of five potential voters admitting they didn't know, or were only vaguely aware, of what the referendum was about.
Similar results were found by a Red C poll, while last week a photocall of interested TDs was cancelled due to an overly cautious interpretation of the regulations.
While Ireland has one of the most heavily regulated referendum environments in the EU, we also hold such public votes more frequently than most. There is an argument that if we are to use the tools of direct democracy then we should maximise the democratic outputs of the exercise.
Making it difficult for both sides of any campaign to communicate their message and educate the voters, thereby stymieing engagement, is not helpful and flies in the face of the reasons to engage in the first place.
Turning first to the funding rules, if we look to other EU countries that hold referendums, we can see many different models for regulation to achieve equity in funding and broadcasting while allowing for maximum voter engagement. One of the more sensible that could apply in Ireland is the Danish model. Indeed, a move to the Danish rules has been recommended in previous reports for Irish governments.
Under this system half of the referendum funds are allocated on the basis of each party's representation in parliament. The other half is split equally between Yes and No groups. Structures could be devised to ensure that independents and senators are also included in this framework. Of course, providing any funding to political parties in the current economic environment would be unpopular.
The current system, under which the referendum commission operates with one hand tied behind its back, is given a few weeks to prepare for the campaign and is asked to maximise turnout without being able to really address the arguments, is a nonsense.
It is also a contributory factor to the low information level and low turnout at referendum elections, which averages just above 50 per cent. Thus almost half of the eligible electorate often choose not to engage in referendum decisions, while more report not having sufficient understanding of the topic.
Some 43 per cent said they did not understand the issue in the Oireachtas inquiries referendum, although voters in the fiscal treaty poll felt better informed.
Democracy is not free. We cannot leave the entire burden of the information campaign to the referendum commission unless we significantly change and widen its remit and powers. It should be able to fund civil society and party groups on the Yes and the No sides.
We need also to look at the broadcasting rules. Given the cross-party support for the children's rights proposal, it is difficult to find TDs on the No side of the campaign, resulting in little debate on the airwaves.
The absence of public representatives on the No side means that we find ourselves in the unusual position where discussion of the issues is limited or cannot take place because representation from both sides of the debate is not available.
Even when groups do come forward to oppose the amendment, a further question emerges about whether these groups should be given air time equal to all elected members of the Oireachtas and any other groups who support the children's rights proposal.
Uncertainly also prevails in relation to the campaign rules. An event organised by the Oireachtas health committee was cancelled and then rescheduled amid worries about whether the McKenna judgment might preclude such events.
This is absurd.
Our TDs are legislators, they are not part of the Government and thus the McKenna judgment should not apply.
While this uncertainty appears to have been resolved, it is disquieting that several of our elected public representatives were given the impression that they could not participate in a referendum event because it might contravene campaign regulations.
The Minister for Justice has argued that the McKenna judgment should be revisited in the courts because of the way it is being implemented. With plans for multiple referendums in the next three years, addressing both the broadcasting and funding restrictions should be done sooner rather than later.

A Sony mainstay, Sucker Punch are known for injecting a sense of fun accessibility into their games, and the Playstation 3's inFamous titles were solidly above average open world superhero fantasies that thrived on a sense of immediacy in their playability,engendering a sense of empowerment. Modestly successful and seized upon as being a firm icon for the brand, Sony have, for their new console, demanded that the series require a new direction, changing place, and changing hero. The dour and serious Cole McGrath has been jettisoned (the events of the last game help this somewhat) and the setting has moved from the fictional cities of Empire City and New Marais to the real-world location of Seattle.
Following on from the previous two games, the raft of super powered beings referred to as conduits in the original (now media-spun as 'bioterrorists by the government) have been rounded up and controlled by an aggressive paramilitary organization called the Department of Unified Protection (DUP)The hero this time around is one Delsin Rowe, a brash, mouthy, anti-establishment type whose anarchic expression extends to going around his native American (it's not made clear in the marketing and it isn't in the game) community spraying graffiti. This is a huge embarrassment to his older brother, Reggie, the local sheriff, who accosts his younger sibling and gives him a dressing down, cut short by the arrival of a sabotaged DUP convoy and the subsequent escape of some bioterrorists.
These early cutscenes give quick and clear an indication of the leap in quality of the facial animation capture and the voice acting in concert with the graphics as a whole. The first thing you notice is how amazing the game looks. The next thing you notice is how slow and sluggish the game feels based on your memories of the previous games – admittedly negative if this is your first foray into the inFamous world. The opening moments leave you craving to quickly amass powers as traversal seems slow and lacking in the stickiness that some found annoying, but I found reassuring. As if sensing the players concerns, after a confrontation between Delsin and one of these escaped conduits, our snarky protagonist soon learns that he himself is a conduit, and has the power to absorb the abilities of others. Very quickly, Delsin is flinging fireballs and dashing through walls, and the player is given a taste of the power fantasy to come.
After meeting the entertainingly menacing antagonist, the head of the DUP, the story soon takes you into Seattle centre, albeit a condensed approximation of the city. The place looks stunning (have I mentioned that yet), and really feels next generation and start to justify that financial outlay. Rotating the camera around to position for optimum use of the share button is a must, and is often more entertaining than the gameplay itself, because at it's heart, inFamous: Second Son has very little to differentiate itself from it's PS3 brethren other than it's astounding visuals.
Anyone who has played the previous games will feel familiar with the rhythms and cadences of the game. Enter an area, unlock missions bit by bit, do the campaign mission, move on to the next small area. Patrols of DUP, repeated encounters with whom can becoming very annoying, can be eradicated by destroying the central DUP unit in each area, and completing an area's missions reduces their presence, sending a force of DUP after Delsin. Clear the area and the area is free from the oppressors. These missions are varied, and the series desire to keep the player occupied continues here. Whether it is finding a enemy conduit in a crowd to chase and defeat, collecting shards to increase your skillset, or – my favourite of all – finding and destroying security cameras, there is plenty to do, without it feeling overwhelming. There are also the obligatory justification of the PS4 controller, such as the spraying graffiti mini game which has you turning the controller on it's side and pointing the light bar at the PS4, accompanied by spraying with the right trigger to mimic the thoroughly subversive act of illegal urban art. It is, fortunately, not as annoying and intrusive as you might first think.
Delsin's powers are visually varied and differentiated just enough to make you feel that switching in an out from them is justifiable – starting with the smoke powers stolen from the first escaped conduit, which deals in strong attacks that stun, and soon moving onto to neon powers, which are lighter, but more precise and have the ability to incapacitate instead of kill. This latter powers looks absolutely stunning in motion, as Delsin flings bars of bright light across the screen and shimmers as he runs across the floor and up the sides of building. Later powers, which I wont spoil here, are subtly different in terms of traversal, and how you engage the different enemies; not hugely , but enough to make you both want to and feel the need to swap them out depending on you encounter or need.
Changing these powers is a matter of finding a source, a smoke vent, a neon signs and draining them with a click of the R3 button, a vampiric act whose animation and sound effects never gets old. It would have been easy for Sucker Punch to allow the player to swap the new powers out via the D-pad, but the need to drain them and only be able to use on at a time keeps you on your toes.
It also suffers from the previous games habit of ensuring that all enemies are expert marksman of the highest class, and often difficult to trace, leaving you in situations where the only option is to turn and run, regenerate your health and powers and head back into the fray. Luckily, dispatching enemies is satisfying, and melee hits feel a little heftier than the previous games, though the feeling of being overwhelmed, and that unfortunate habit of videogames to empower the player character only to scale enemies and therefore negate the feeling of strength, persist. Another way the game feels decidedly unimaginative is in it's boss fights. I've made clear in my previous writing my disdain for boss fights and this game contains one particular example that feels like it belongs in the PS2 era. All I will say is 'lava pit', and leave it at that, but it is very emblematic of the overall design of the game: stuck in the past mechanically despite the beauty of it's next gen visuals.
Traversal is much more satisfying (said boss gives you one of the best powers for this) and even though the use of tramlines from the previous games is gone and sadly absent, racing up the sides of buildings and swooping through the air is huge fun. This makes traveling from place to place to mop up tasks on your map always enjoyable, and even if you are not one for collectibles, but something about inFamous always generated the compulsion to want to do everything there is to do. Maybe its the way the map feels condensed, that everything on the map feels within reach, and that many of the side stuff isn't a huge drain on your time, but this is the first game since Tomb Raider where I've felt like collecting everything.
And to do so isn't especially difficult, or especially long, taking about eight to ten hours for the main story and a few more to mop up collectibles. InFamous is, well, infamous for the binary nature of the choices it gives you and the decision to go good or exemplify evil has more skill based consequences than narrative ones; there is of course the option to play again in the other half of the binary playthrough, but this has always felt superfluous and despite the continued practice of locking good and evil karma powers, I felt no compulsion to play again.
Ultimately, Infamous: Second Son is an enjoyable open world adventure whose stunning visual leap masks it's familiar nature. With one foot in a very standard past and one arm clearly reaching into a possible future, Sucker Punch's efforts hint at what is to come whilst also highlighting how far there still is to go.

"It's an honor any time you're named Coach of the Year by your peers," Edgar said. "It could not be accomplished without a tremendous team and that includes our players, our administration and our community."
Three players for the 8th ranked Mountaineers also received honors, which are voted on by the Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference coaches.
Marcus Tarrance, a sophomore from Memphis, Tenn., and Tharone Chilton, a sophomore from Tulsa, were named to the 2011-12 All Region II and All Conference first teams. Tarrance is averaging 17 points and Chilton is averaging 15 points per game this season.
Bobby Jones, also a sophomore from Memphis, was named to the All Conference third team. He is averaging 16 points per game.
"This is an extremely celebrated year for all of us and a few guys have been deservedly recognized for their spectacular play," Edgar said. "Marcus and Tharone are closing in on personal milestones of 1,000 career points at Eastern and Bobby humbly accepted the role of sixth man for this team when he could have started for us or any other team in the conference."
The Mountaineers are 27-3 heading into the Region II Tournament. Eastern earned a bye for the first round and will face Western Oklahoma State College in the quarterfinals at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 9 at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee. The winner of the Region II Tournament advances to the NJCAA Division I National Tournament March 20-24 in Hutchison, Kan.

has been my passion for 40 years (my other love is classical guitar). For years, as a Director of Marketing and Advertising, I wove my photography into brochures, banners, graphics, presentations, manuals, post cards and posters. I also love to write, so this was a fulfilling, enjoyable career on many levels.
My professional and personal pursuits have led me into many areas of photography and imaging. I studied color management extensively to achieve predictable, high quality results....from image capture to output as diverse as traditional printing presses, wide format inkjet, lightjet, digital presses and other devices. I have experience in lighting, portraiture, wildlife and pets, landscape, architecture, still life, product advertising and event photography. Photo restoration and retouching, especially of 1900's era B&W and sepia photographs, has also been a specialty.
It is a pleasure to pursue my favorite activities independently as a professional photographer, designer, production facilitator, and marketing and color management consultant. I do all my fine art printing on wide format pigment inkjet printers, which accept an almost unlimited variety of fine art papers and canvas. A finely rendered, artistic and evocative presentation is always my ultimate goal.
Sit back and peruse my photo galleries (to which I add regularly). I am always happy to hear from visitors, so drop me a line!

In addition to the eventful history of the Vogelsburg and the Mariä Schutz Church, the wine garden is arguably the most famous feature of the impressive castle complex.
The view from the Vogelsburg is described by aficionados as "the most beautiful vista of the Main River Loop" and as "a symbol of the Main-Franconia region".
Few words are needed to describe the Vogelsburg terrace. Pictures certainly speak more than a thousand words here…
The terrace is divided into two areas – a self-service area (open from 12 noon to 8 pm) for short stays and a quick glass of wine – and the service area (open from 11 am to 10 pm). In the service area you will be served the same dishes as in the restaurant.
You can get small cold or hot dishes in the self-service area. Freshly tapped beer and wines from the Juliusspital Wine Estate are also on offer.
We recommend that you reserve a table!
Opening hours restaurant: 11 am to 11 pm
Self- service area: 12 noon to 8 pm

"In view of its divine natural beauty, it seems that 'The Paradise of Indonesia' is the best name to refer to Papua."
Papua is the dead end of your exploration in Indonesia. The beautiful and spacious region is the easternmost part of Indonesia which is directly adjacent to neighboring Papua New Guinea. The two areas share the world's second biggest island New Guinea with Papua occupies three quarters of the island.
In view of its divine natural beauty, it seems that "The Paradise of Indonesia" is the best name to refer to Papua. Marine life and underwater beauty of the region are superb and unspoiled that people dub them as the most pristine throughout Indonesia. Its major rain-forest is a big draw for naturalists. The impenetrable jungle is full of endemic animals including the exotic birds of paradise (Cendrawasih), cassowaries and tree kangaroos.
A line of mountains with elevation of more than 4000 meters stretches along the northwest to the southeast part, making major area in Papua untouched places. The people live in thatched huts while continuously practicing traditional customs and lifestyle.
However, untouched doesn't necessarily mean primitive, but simply remote. After the widespread of Christianity in Papua, most of the rural people wear modern clothes and have ditched grass-skirts and penis-gourds. A sense of untouched-primitive can be found, though, especially in some areas in southern region.
To enjoy the beauty of Papua unfortunately requires a lot of cash and time. Road connecting to each area is scarce due to its dramatic landscape. There are only two difficult options to travel any distance: by pricey airplane or slow water transportation. But those who possess all the points will definitely enjoy a journey of a life time.
Here are the highlights of Papua tourism:

Sweet, portable, convenient, affordable, and better than a cup of coffee. These are a few claims made by Nootrobox about Go Cubes. Go Cubes are chewable gummy squares made from cold brew coffee, designed for an on-the-go energy boost when you don't have time to sit down and sip. Each cube contains 50 mg of caffeine, which is equivalent to about half a cup of coffee. Sounds like a dream come true for busy caffeine addicts, right?
Go Cubes aren't just coffee, though. They also contain nootropics (supplements that boost cognition) such as L-theanine, vitamins B3, B6, and B12, glucuronolactone, inositol, and folic acid. You can read more about this here. Most of these supplements have been proven to enhance cognitive function, although one review points out that inositol is only effective in much higher doses than Go Cubes contain. L-theanine in particular is a green tea extract that serves to counteract the jitters that some people experience when they have caffeine.
Reviews so far have been mixed. While everyone seems to agree that Go Cubes are convenient and effective, there have been some complaints about the taste. One reviewer said that it was "sweet… but after a couple of chews the taste instantly turned bitter." Another likened the aftertaste to "drinking nothing but coffee for a week while not brushing your teeth." Out of the three flavours – pure drip, mocha, and latte – the lighter latte flavour seems to be most popular. However, reviewers have pointed out that it's very difficult to tell the flavours apart. There's a mix in each package of four and they're all varying shades of dark brown. Others complained of upset stomachs and bad coffee breath.
Odd taste aside, most reviewers agreed that the cubes simplified their morning and pre-workout routines, and helped them keep track of their caffeine intake. Are Go Cubes the future of coffee? Maybe not, but they're certainly another fresh, innovative way to get your fix.

RFID News Roundup
World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 deploys 20,000 NFC posters, stickers; CAEN RFID launches new UHF long-range reader with embedded PC and GPRS; Identec Solutions' technology to safeguard personnel at Swedish nuclear-waste facility; FastPoint Technologies earns GS1 EPCglobal software-certification mark; SITA develops NFC demo solution for airports, travelers; Thinfilm establishes partnerships for creating fully printed RFID tags, sensors.
Jan 26, 2012—The following are news announcements made during the past week.
World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 Deploys 20,000 NFC Posters, Stickers
Global digital service design firm Fjord and the World Design Capital (WDC) Helsinki 2012 organization have deployed nearly 20,000 UPM BullsEye passive Near Field Communication (NFC) RFID tags, embedded in posters and stickers around the city of Helsinki, as well as a number of other locations in surrounding cities. By tapping an NFC phone against one of the tags, a user can download a mobile application for WDC Helsinki 2012. The mobile app, known as WDC 2012, is a "digital program book" that delivers information regarding planned activities and exhibits, as well as related news and event updates. This represents the first time that a WDC program guide was provided as a mobile application, according to UPM. In addition to current highlights and the WDC Helsinki 2012 program, sorted by time and location, users will have access to a map, a monthly calendar and information related to approximately 300 WDC projects and their locations in Helsinki. The free app is available for tourists and city residents, and is presented in English, Finnish and Swedish. The app currently supports only for phones using Android or Nokia operating systems, UPM reports, but is expected to be released in the near future for Apple iPhones and iPad tablets. WDC Helsinki 2012 is a joint venture between the Finnish cities of Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Kauniainen and Lahti, and is this year's choice of the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID). Every second year, ICSID recognizes a global city for accomplishments in using design as a tool to improve social, cultural and economic life. The first World Design Capital event, in 2008, honored Turin, Italy, while the second, in 2010, recognized Seoul, South Korea.

Identec Solutions, a provider of active RFID and wireless sensor network-based solutions, has announced that its WatcherSystem personnel-safety solution has been selected for deployment at the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) for the firm's underground Hard Rock Laboratory, on Äspö Island. Located in Stockholm, SKB was established in the 1970s by two Swedish Nuclear power companies. The SKB facility's mandate, according to Identec Solutions, is to conduct cutting-edge research on the most effective management and disposal methods possible, in order to secure maximum safety for human beings and the environment. The WatcherSystem will be used within SKB's underground facility, and is designed specifically for the challenging environments associated with remote oil platforms, mines and tunnels. The solution is self-contained, and its applications can be integrated into existing infrastructure for real-time visibility. The system features on- and offsite emergency evacuation coordination, alarm management and situation monitoring. During the deployment, the WatcherSystem will be used to automatically track personnel and guest location within SKB's facility, as well as provide a real-time headcount. This information, according to Identec Solutions, will enable enhanced emergency response in the event of a potentially dangerous situation or safety evacuation. With personnel often working in isolation and with risky materials, the "lone worker" feature will automatically trigger alarms and/or action in the event that an employee exceeds set parameters within a defined area. Sweden-based Neosys, an RFID-based security solutions provider for the nuclear industry, worked with Identec Solutions to tailor the wireless tracking system to meet SKB's needs. Other organizations using Identec's Watcher solutions include Trafikverket, Sweden's national transport administration, which has deployed Identec RFID tags in conjunction with sensors to ensure that workers are not exposed to excessive levels of toxic gases (see Swedish Tunnel Uses RFID to Monitor Air Pollution). Identec's Watcher series of personnel-tracking safety system also includes Watcheroffshore (see Active UHF RFID Tags Muster Support for Oil Rigs).

you have a good spirit. Win by strategy is how I play this game too!
Now guild banner makes you nuts. I know ghosts and vamps are tough and extra 20 minion points is a big handicap for starters.
I also know why everybody does not really listen to you. You will fined more unfairness as you play more.
For example, most of advance players can use 750 mana. With mana refill, they can use upto 1,500 mana.
Some spend gems on scout that tells the location of all invisible traps in advance.
They can disable traps and rooms in advance that you built with many imp hours, tons of gems and deep strategies.
On the top of such advantages, they also have an immortal revive for backup.
Strategy is meaningless. Money can buy the victory.
I hope EA looks at your post and think more about win by strategy that would attract more players.

Francois Hollande calls for 'frank, firm' talk with Russia over Syrian war
Paris, Oct 12 French President Francois Hollande has said that talks with Russia over major differences on Syria were necessary but must be "frank and firm" to stop the five-year civil war which has claimed up to 500,000 victims.
"With Russia, France has a major disagreement on Syria and the Russia veto on the French resolution at the UN Security Council has prevented the cessation of bombings and truce's proclamation," Xinhua news agency quoted Hollande as saying on Tuesday.
"The main victims are the civilian populations. That's why I consider it is necessary to have dialogue with Russia, but it must be firm and frank, otherwise it has no place and it is a sham negotiation," he said.
In a speech at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, Hollande said he was "ready to meet (Russian) President (Vladimir) Putin at any moment" if they "can make progress on peace, stop bombing and declare a truce".
Putin has cancelled his visit to France scheduled for October 19 due to changes in the agenda, the Kremlin said on Tuesday.
"The president has decided to cancel the visit, as some of the planned activities related to the opening of the Russian cultural and spiritual center and an exhibition, unfortunately, have been dropped out of the programme," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
But he added that Putin was ready to pay a visit to France "whenever it will be comfortable to (French) President (Francois) Hollande", while declining to specify the reason for changes in the programme.
Moscow's decision came after the Elysee proposed a working meeting only to discuss the Syrian civil war and excluded other topics.

It's the fifth week of your pregnancy, and unsurprisingly, you may have started to experience a range of mild discomforts. In addition to sore and tender breasts, intermittent fatigue, and a near-constant urge to urinate, many women will at this time start to experience morning sickness and inexplicably odd food cravings.
Despite morning sickness symptoms making an appearance in week 5 of pregnancy for many women, it is quite possible that you won't experience it for at least a few more weeks. Remember, pregnancy and its litany of symptoms are different for every woman; what you experience during your pregnancy won't necessarily mirror that of other pregnant women's experiences.
Still relatively early on in your pregnancy, your body will not have undergone any strikingly dramatic physical changes, which fascinatingly is in stark contrast to the myriad changes going on inside your body.
Although exercise is probably among the activities you least want to partake in, it is of fundamental importance to incorporate into your lifestyle at this point in your pregnancy. Soon, you will be putting on an abundance of pregnancy weight, which comes with accompanying aches from the strain of the extra weight on your body.
Regular exercise not only assists with helping you build the strength to manage the rapid weight gain but also has the added benefit of reducing any stress and anxiety you may be going through. Importantly, exercise also prepares your body for the physically taxing birthing process but also helps to facilitate your recovery post-pregnancy.
Read on below for more essential information, facts, and tips on managing your fifth week of pregnancy.
Table of Contents
Your Physical and Emotional Health: 5 Weeks Pregnant Symptoms
By week five of your pregnancy, the HCG levels within your body are exceedingly high – enough to create emotions that simply feel unmanageable and out of control. Mood swings may become increasingly more prevalent, and the unpleasant emotions you are dealing with are exacerbated by frustrating symptoms such as a constant need to urinate in addition to progressively tender, swollen, and painful breasts.
As your body starts to undergo critical hormonal and physical shifts, your emotional state can start to vacillate from anger to sadness and many other unpleasant emotions. As such, week five of your pregnancy is an opportune time to institute an exercise regime.
Although nausea and fatigue may at times feel overwhelming, it is important to remember the many benefits of exercise that will ultimately render your pregnancy an easier and more manageable experience.
Reducing anxious feelings, preparing your body for the upcoming and rapid weight gain, and building endurance for the critically intense birthing process are among the most important benefits of exercising during pregnancy.
Cramps impede wanting to exercise and often start occurring during week five. Indicative of the broadening of your uterus as the embryo soundly situates itself within it, cramping is a common symptom that is not a cause for worry unless it is chronic and exceedingly severe, at which point you should schedule an immediate appointment with your health provider.
Among the more innocuous symptoms of the fifth week of pregnancy are odd food cravings. Pregnant women infamously crave the most unique of food items and combinations with sour-tasting items being among the most prevalent. Sweet and sour food combinations are hugely favored by pregnant women, with unusual combinations such as ice cream and pickles being common.
Go ahead and indulge guilt-free in your food cravings; however, be mindful that you don't want to overeat and take in a massive amount of calories nor do you want to partake in junk-food binge sessions too often.
For the sake of your own health and the health of your baby, your diet should be balanced and largely consist of fresh, whole foods and plenty of vegetables, fruit, and high-quality protein.
Your Baby's Health and Status: 5 Weeks Pregnant Baby
At the week five mark, your baby measures about 9 millimeters. Roughly the size of your pinky fingernail, your tiny baby is undergoing incredible physical changes and now has primitive hands, feet, and an infinitesimally teeny brain.
Meanwhile, the outermost layers of your amniotic sac are steadily developing into the placenta, advancing into the velvety walls of your womb to ultimately establish a nutrient-rich blood that will nourish your baby as well as provide it oxygen via the umbilical cord.
Securely housed within your uterus and receiving an abundance of nutrients, the embryo is now growing expeditiously at breakneck speed and will soon start developing a spine, heart, and evolving brain.
Tips, Tricks, and Knowledge at 5 Weeks Pregnant
- Invest in a sports bra for easing much of the discomfort associated with tender, painful breasts
- Ensure that your surroundings are healthy and safe. During your pregnancy, you will want to stay far away from heavy metals such as mercury and lead, harsh chemicals such as those found in common cleaning products, and sources of radiation. Take a critical look at your home and work and determine if you need to make any environmental changes.
- Don't take your water for granted. Many homes have old, rusty pipes pumping out your water supply. Invest in a high-quality water filtration system to help mitigate any of the harmful elements within your water
- Don't stress about the need to constantly urinate; it's a symptom that comes with the territory and is reflective of the expansion of your kidneys occurring in your pregnant state
- Nausea and morning sickness symptoms can be made more manageable with the ginger (raw, candied, or even capsules) in addition to eating frequent meals throughout the day
- To help from binging on junk food in the midst of food cravings, prepare portions of healthy snacks such as nuts, seeds, and fresh vegetables in small Ziploc bags
- Ensure that you remain hydrated – drink plenty of water to keep your system lubricated and your health and energy levels optimized
To-do List and Reminders at 5 Weeks Pregnant
- If you haven't already, make a prenatal appointment as soon as possible. You will want to start considering who your doctor (or midwife) will be during your pregnancy so that you can establish a rapport, ask questions, get timely ultrasounds and tests, and more.
- Do your homework and find out as much as you can about the medical histories of both your family and your partner's family to determine if any genetic conditions, risks, complications or abnormalities exist that might ultimately impact the healthy birth of your child
- Establish an exercise routine. Walking and swimming are great low-impact options that are manageable for pregnant women
- Maintain your vitamin regime inclusive of a prenatal vitamin, vitamin D, and folic acid
Yolk sac: The yolk sac function on an interim level and nourishes your baby with crucial nutrients and provides it with an abundance of red blood cells provides nourishment until the job is taken over by the developed placenta.
HCG: An acronym for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, HCG is a hormone produced by pregnancy
Cool Things to Know
- At this point, the embryo is about five millimeters in length, the size of a sesame seed, and resembles a tadpole!

Work continues at a healthy pace inside the house. On the top floor the construction of the divisions has been completed in all five bedrooms and bathrooms, so now you can see the size of each making visualizing the ultimately finished rooms that much easier. Thus it was yesterday we spent a couple hours with the architects discussing at length the 'design' of each bedroom on this floor. Given that the floors will be toba (terracotta tiles) and the ceilings bigas de roura (oak beam) with teules (terracotta tiles) we do not want to 'over do' the rustic feel of the place. Therefore, contrary to the vision and preference of the architects we are plumming for white walls in all of rooms, with no exposed stone, thereby making the rooms appear as large and spacious as possible. Door finishes will be white, wardrobes included – and the carcases thereof. Lighting will be subtle, using mostly wall mounted up/down lights. Any sense of modernity will be maximized in the bathrooms with stylish, clean uncomplicated finishes. It is our intention to try and provide the customer with as much comfort as we possibly can; to pamper and ensure that you leave the world of work or whatever somewhere else. Although the general finishes between one room and another will be of a similar standard, we will designate two as 'premium' rooms which will provide that little bit extra for the guest.
The metal curtains which mark the windows have been fitted in all of the top floor rooms. But the major development of the week was the widening of the doorway from the hall to the dining room. Now just shy of four meters wide, this entrance shows off three of the five arched windows in the dining room and the views of the valley beyond. A folding door will separate the hall from dining room giving greater flexibility as to how the two rooms can be used.
And….completing that somewhat spurious link between dining room and food, last week a spot of kitchen experimentation led us to trying a recipe for 'Stuffed Pigs Trotter's'. Before all you squeamish anglo-saxon readers dash for cover, the finished product was something not far short of fantastic. The recipe needs a bit of tweaking – i. changing the wayin which the trotters are initially cooked; ii. preparing a more elaborate stuffing. But all in all they were unctuous and simply cried out to be tried again. So get those bibs out and pour a large glass of Priorat!

I learned to snowboard at age 36. Not old, but no spring chicken when it comes to picking up extreme sports. Mind you there is nothing extreme about my snowboarding- aside from some of my lift dismounts.
my first day on a snowboard
But there are definite differences between learning something like snowboarding when you are a kid and learning to snowboard when you are older. Some are obvious, some less so.
–We are higher off the ground and we weigh more. Little kids don't have far to fall, and they don't weigh a lot so it's not usually as painful when they fall, and they tend to bounce, so getting up is often a lot easier.
–Most of us don't know how to fall properly. Kids have not yet been untaught all of the natural body mechanics that we instinctually figure out when we are little. We then go on to spend a lifetime trying to relearn what we unlearned as young children…go figure.
–The older we get the slower we recover. 'Nuff said.
–We know pain and go to great lengths to avoid it, which often causes more of it or prevents us from trying awesome things that could inflict it.
–Fear is the enemy of progression. We think everything to death and try to reframe everything into our existing database of knowledge. That gets in our way of learning something new. Snowboarding really isn't like most other endeavors, and it's not intuitive to learn. So we spend a lot of time getting out of our heads enough to try something new.
-Along the fear line- we don't want to look stupid. The first assumption we make is that people are actually paying attention to what we are doing. The second is that they care. Will you run into hecklers on the mountain? Ya, probably. Are they usually punk ass kids who will fall victim to karma in time? Probably. Everyone started from zero at some point. If they were lucky enough to do it when they were really young, good for them. It's easy to learn stuff when you're young. They will not realize until many years later that learning to ride when you are older is worthy of encouragement and respect.
-Still along the fear lines, we worry. We need to be able to go to work, we have responsibilities, we can't really afford to get injured, etc. Riding conservatively isn't a bad idea. But if you get too wrapped up in all of that, it will suck all of the fun out of it. And riding all tentatively can cause you to stiffen up doing more harm in the end.
In Montana we rode the lift with a snowboarder in her 70's! She started at the beginning of snowboarding…she rode guys boards forever, and she just got a new, ladies board several years ago. She's not fast, she's not doing tricks, but dammit, she is out there doing laps several times per week- enjoying the mountain, the snow, the fresh air, and the people. And she's at a point in her life where her appreciation of all of that is at its peak. That's so cool!
This post might sound like I'm trying to discourage anyone over age 12 from trying snowboard. Au contraire! I'm just trying to be real. Five year olds will be flying by you in no time. It will likely take you longer to process, and successfully execute, maneuvers. It will be painful. It will suck at times. That all makes learning that much sweeter. When we get there, we can really appreciate it.
Once you get through that learning curve, you are all set. You don't have to go through it again. You own it! At different points in our lives we appreciate things in different ways. We will likely never ride like the kids born with the board strapped to their feet. But who cares? In what other area of life are we comparing ourselves to 15 year olds? (If you are able to answer that, stop it- now! )
Here are some tips for getting it done
–Don't go it alone, and don't have a friend teach you to ride. Take lessons. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel and try to figure things out for yourself. Let the experts teach you the right way from the beginning. A good instructor is invaluable.
–Take things at your own pace.
–Be patient with yourself.
–Be kind to yourself. Don't beat yourself up if you aren't progressing as fast as you feel like you should. This is not a competition. It's about enjoying the journey and the accomplishment of learning something new that is not easy.
–Embrace the challenge
-Think about investing in padding…knee pads, padded shorts, a helmet, and maybe wrist guards.
–Growth happens just past the edge of your comfort zone. It's ok to feel uncomfortable out there. Don't let it overtake you. Acknowledge it, embrace it, and get on with your bad self.
–HAVE FUN!!! Try to put the ego aside and have fun playing in the snow. When you start snowboarding, it's like being a kid all over again. Enjoy that…we don't get that opportunity too often in life.
Enjoy the mountains, the crisp winter air, and the challenge of learning something new. And don't give up. If it's something that you want to do, stick with it. No one ever said it was going to come easily. Most things worth having don't. And trust me, it will be worth it.

It had to happen soon or later, the American public is tired of what the idiots in Washington have done to the USD. No longer will Utah accept only the USD as the currency. The unconstitutional way in which the Federal Reserve has been used as Washington's personal piggy bank has caused Utah citizens to rethink gold and silver as a currency. The new law will make coins sales exempt from any state capital gains taxes. Ron Paul explains the dying dollar below:
The U.S. hasn't seen this in over 80 years. Forbes notes that Utah is one of the best-managed states in the union and returning to gold and silver as currency could help it stay that way.
"For those who do not believe that the U.S. dollar may be in trouble, consider the following: According to China Daily, China and Russia have used a number of currencies previously, but especially U.S. dollars for "bilateral trades." However, according to the paper in November 2010, "China and Russia have decided to renounce the USD and resort to using their own currencies for bilateral trade." Premier Wen Jiabao and Vladimir Putin made the formal announcement.
Russia also has reached out to Europe. Putin called for closer economic ties between Russia and the EU. In his speech, he outlined his vision for the future and desire to create a Free European-Russian trade zone. However, the most critical part of his speech came when Putin said, the "euro is slightly fluctuating but. . .it's a good, stable world currency that should take its rightful position as the world reserve currency. . ."
Big changes are coming to America and it's still unclear exactly how all of this will end up; with any luck, this alternative might just return this country to some sanity. The Utah Sound Money Act could be the start of something in the right direction for a change.

This is not only a touchy subject, it's full of pot holes, snares and blind alleyways that the uninitiated ought to consider before dipping a toe inside. Then again, sometimes subtlety should just be ignored and tossed aside in favor of heartfelt expression.
First of all, let's not fool ourselves, there are simply too many 5 star book reviews that are painfully unwarranted. Take a look at the free sample chapters provided by Amazon before buying any book and it should be obvious within minutes if the product is of a sufficient quality to warrant attention and interest, or not. Then look at the reviews - all of them, including the one and two stars. No single product appeals to everyone, it's just not possible. But honest, well-worded reviews help by providing an indication of what can be expected.
There are lots of valid points that have been made on this subject and I have no intention of disputing any of them. But take a moment to consider one woman's comments and feel her frustration. She thought she needed reviews to kick start the process and embarked down that path. It was a natural reaction after visiting sites where offers of performing reviews are everywhere. She did and was then criticized for doing so by fellow authors.
And why shouldn't she take this route? Is not validation the very first step toward recognition? How many people are willing to buy anything that has not been tested to some degree or another? And who wants to be the one to venture into the unknown and buy the work of some unknown author with nothing but empty stars sitting in painful silence beside their lovingly created, and hopefully (but often not) well crafted work?
The sorry fact is that people tend to follow like sheep and go with the herd.
Someone recently claimed that sales are the only true indication of a book's value, not reviews. I am not sure I agree having read one very successful book that is presently being turned into a movie. The writing was awful and the story weak, but somehow it captured the attention of sufficient number of people that the mindless sheep followed on, therefore assuring what many others consider unjustifiable success.
How many academy award films are truly deserving? It all depends on your interest in the subject, the actors and dare I say it, the reviews that captivate, propel, put off, or virtually ensure success, or failure.
Do sales volumes of other products guarantee quality? Apparently not when the staggering number of recalls for vehicles or contaminated consumables are publicized for all to see.
So what should this lady and every other struggling to emerge author do? Is she wrong in thinking that a honest review wouldn't help bring her out of the darkness and into the light? And if not reviews, what is the correct, acceptable way? Is there even one and as she herself asked, should she keep writing at all?
That question is something only she can answer.
