Jewish historian pulls book that claims Jews killed Christians for ritual purposes. Helena Flusfeder reports
The outrage in Israel over a book in which a history professor reportedly claims that there is a "factual basis for some of the medieval blood libels against the Jews" has led the author's university to distance itself from the work and the author to ask his Italian publisher to suspend distribution.
Pasque di Sangue ("Easter of Blood") was written by Ariel Toaff, a professor of medieval and Renaissance history at Bar-Ilan University and the son of a former Chief Rabbi of Rome. It was published in Italy two weeks ago by Il Mulino.
Bar-Ilan expressed "great anger" at the scholar for his "lack of sensitivity in publishing his book about blood libels in Italy". It said the work was a private endeavour and not connected to the university.
In the book, which is based on his research, Professor Toaff alleges that "ritual killings" such as that of a two year-old Christian child, Simon, in the Italian town of Trento in 1475, were carried out by members of a fundamentalist group in reaction to the persecution of Jews.
Professor Toaff's claim that Jews in the Middle Ages murdered Christians for their blood so they could use it in rituals was denied by a group of Italy's senior rabbis, among them Professor Toaff's father, Elio Toaff.
The rabbis issued a joint statement condemning the book. "There has never existed in Jewish tradition any permission or custom for using human blood for ritual purposes. Such a practice is considered with horror."
Diego Coliani, a correspondent of the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera , said Professor Toaff relied on testimonies of people who had confessed under torture.
In the wake of the furore, Professor Toaff asked the Italian publisher to "stop further distribution of the book, in order that I may re-edit those passages that comprised the basis of the distortions and falsehoods that have been published in the media".
In some newspaper reports, Professor Toaff was quoted as saying: "Over many dozens of pages, I proved the centrality of blood on Passover. Based on many sermons, I concluded that blood was used, especially by Ashkenazi Jews, and that there was a belief in the special curative powers of children's blood.
"It turns out that among the remedies of Ashkenazi Jews were powders made of blood."
He added: "I will not give up my devotion to the truth and academic freedom, even if the world crucifies me."

Einstein's theory of relativity.
Extracts from this document...
Einstein's theory of relativity has caught the imagination of the average person more than any other physical theory in history. Yet the theory of relativity, unlike many other results of physical science, is not easily understood by the average person. We can understand the relativity theory fully only by means of the mathematical formulas which make it up. Without mathematics, we can only state some of its basic ideas and quote, but not prove, some of its conclusions.
The relativity theory deals with the most fundamental ideas which we use to describe natural happenings. These ideas are time, space, mass, motion, and gravitation. The theory gives new meaning to the old ideas that these words represent. It is basically made up of two parts. One is the special, or restricted, relativity theory, published by Albert Einstein in 1905. The general relativity theory was put forward by Einstein in 1915.
Special theory of relativity
This theory is called the special relativity theory because it refers to a special kind of motion. This is uniform motion in a straight line, that is, with constant velocity. Suppose we are on a smoothly running railway train which is moving at a constant velocity. In this train you may drop a book, play catch, or allow a pendulum to swing freely. The book will appear to fall straight down when it is dropped; the ball will travel directly from the thrower to the catcher. All these activities can be carried on in much the same way and with the same results by people standing still on the ground outside the train. So long as the train runs smoothly, with constant velocity, none of our mechanical activities will be affected by its motion.
Two events judged as taking place at the same time by the observer in the train may not be simultaneous for the observer on the ground.
The length of every object resting in the train appears to the observer outside to be shortened in the direction in which the train is moving.
Perhaps the most important of these deductions is the fact that mass is not unchangeable. The mass of an object increases with its velocity. Theoretically, the mass of an object would become infinite if its velocity became the velocity of light. This mass increase has been observed with experiments. A small particle of matter accelerated to 86 per cent of the speed of light has twice as much mass as it does when it is at rest.
The theory also shows a relation between a body's mass and its energy (E = mc-squared). This relation has great practical importance in the liberation of the energy in the nucleus of an atom. When energy is liberated from the nucleus of the uranium atom and atoms of other elements are formed, the total mass of these atoms is less than the total mass of the uranium atom. This means that some of the mass of the nucleus of the uranium atom has been transformed into energy. The E = mc-squared law shows that the energy in a single uranium nucleus is 220,000,000,000 electronvolts, providing that all its mass could be converted to energy. However, splitting the uranium nucleus, a process known as fission, releases only 0.1 per cent of the total energy content. This amount is still about a million times greater than the energy released in the burning of chemical fuels.
Various experiments have proved the truth of many of these conclusions about relativity. In 1938, H. E.
Relativity and other ideas
The ideas of relativity form a framework which can embrace all laws of nature. Relativity has changed the whole philosophical and physical notions of space and time. It has influenced our views and speculation of the distant worlds and stars and of the tiny world of the atom. Some of this speculation is still going on. Does our universe, regarded as a whole, resemble a plane surface or a sphere? It is not possible to answer this question, because there are many different theories and much uncertainty about the distribution of matter in the universe.
All the theories try to describe the universe as a whole and are based upon the mathematical principles of general relativity. According to some theories, a light ray sent from an arbitrary point in space returns, after a very long time interval, to the point of departure, like a traveller in a journey around our earth. Thus, if you were to start from your home and travel into space along a straight line, you would eventually return to the point from which you started. According to other theories, however, a light ray or a traveller would continue an endless journey through space.
In spite of all these successes of the relativity theory, it is not right to say that Newtonian physics is wrong. Newtonian physics holds true if the velocities of the objects being studied are small compared with the velocity of light. Such objects are found every day in our own experience, and therefore classical physics can still be applied to our daily problems. Astronomers have found that Newton's theory of gravitation still holds true in their calculations. But the relativity theory does limit the area to which the Newtonian physics can be successfully applied.

Ship Wide Scenerios
Oh Snap...
Border Walker
- March 30, 2008 04:39 PM (GMT)
As many of you have found through posts I have done, you've noticed that there are now board wide scenarios that can happen. These can range from minor annoyances to delay escape, to life or death situations for most or all of you. This topic will be where Ship wide Scenarios, as they appear, will be posted, so be sure to read this topic thoroughly if there is a reply...
Scenerio #1:
Lock Down
As of Ten Fifteen this morning, all doors, gates, and grates on the ship suddenly shut, cosed, and locked on their own. This causes a severe problem for those trying to escape, as they now need to find different routes out of the ship. Those in rooms at the time will find themselves stuck unless they can break down the blocked exit, which will alert enemies to their position.
However, the reason the doors were locked automatically is because of a safety measure installed on the Calypso. Staff know this measure as 'Lock down', where all the ships have automatic, secondary locks that can only be opened and closed by those in the Crew Sector on the Boat Deck, located in the Wheelhouse. If even one person can find this switch, then they can reopen the doors...

Scenerio #2
Gas Feed
As of ten twenty five this morning, A hiss has begun to be heard through the ship, and some may notice a strange colored gas seeping through vents in the walls, ceilings, and floors. This is very dangerous to those locked in one sole area, as this gas is poison gas, which is shouldn't be.
A special feature of the 'Lock Down' Security Measure was to have specialized sleeping and paralysis gas be feed through vents into areas sectioned off by the Controls in the Wheelhouse. It was desiged so as to stop people such as terrorists instantly, but for some reason, the gas being feed is not sleeping gas, but poisonous gas. Those trapped must find a way Out of their rooms fast, or suffer poisoning...[/i]

History Repeating
As the Ship slowly begins to take it's former form, Calypso has decided to make it so everyone knows that the ship is not what they seemed. To some, this is already beginning to happen, while to others, it is a slow going process. Certain rooms are going to be changing to reflect their true appearance, while others will remain in their Calypso Counterparts for a longer time. There is no telling which rooms are which, but what is certain, is that the process of changing for the rooms maybe very violent.
If your wondering how, William narrowly avoided certain death from the Wheelhouse changing to it's Titanic counterpart with the flooding inwards of the glass...

4 Reasons to Start Writing a Feature Script Today
- Written by Brandon Ruckdashel
- Published in blog
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Today is hump day and it is time for a motivational post to get you through the rest of the week and into the weekend. Chances are you had a project due or assigned today. If you are like any other of the hundreds of film students across the country that project is a short film. Well it's time to start writing a feature! "Why? I'm not ready for that yet! That's a lot of pages!" you say.
It is 8 months to Summer Break
What is the significance of that? Summer break is the longest period of the year in which you have absolutely nothing important going on. This makes it the best time of the year to shoot your new feature! Why not come back to school next fall with a feature film in hand. Something all of your classmates can be jealous of.
Eight months is also a fantastic amount of time to hone a script. That is approximately 240 days. At one page of writing a day you'd have a four hour masterpiece! God help us all. In less than three months of writing one page a day you have a feature. You can spend another three months in rewrites to firm up the story. At the end of the writing process you should have about two months to handle the casting, crewing, and preproducting. Bingo Bango and a feature is in the can.
Free Advise
You are surrounded by professional teachers who have been there and done that. Writing a feature is tough and controlling the plot within it is even tougher. Why not use your resources at your finger tips to benefit your future? Most schools post their teachers bios online. Go through them and find a teacher who's work speaks to you and ask them for help. Teachers don't always have the opportunities to continue practicing their craft and this is a great chance for them as well. This will also give you a great chance to practice your pitching skills. If they're not interested in the idea, work on the pitch and idea until they are. The world is full of people who will not believe in your work until you've completed it.
Free Crew
If you are like most film students you are a lover of film. You watch a ton of movies each week. You probably know the ins and outs of what has come through the Hollywood system in the last fifty years. Your classmates feel this way too! Get a group together, get an idea together, and make a film. It may seem like a fantasy at first, but you will be surprised what you can do when you use the people around you to all of your benefits.
College is the last time you will ever have a pool of free labor as deep as it is. Favors start evaporating after you have been out of school for more than a year. You have memories, but that is all they will be. Don't wait five or ten years to collect on the time you shot Jane's short "Composition" project or Johnny's "The Art of Color" project.
Failure Doesn't Count
This is one project you can't fail. You are using the resources of the school that you are paying to be at and if it doesn't work out... they can't fail you. You will learn invaluable lessons that you will continue to use on future projects. One feature film will over the lessons you would have learned in 1 year of school and 1 year of the real world. Dealing with talent, cultivating professional relationships, and chasing your dream is why you are in film school right now.
So take a break from that "hue vs saturation color chart" project and open up your composition book.

Brandon Ruckdashel is the Festival Director for YoungFilmmakers. He has been the Program Director for NewFilmmakers for the last three years and Marketing Director for six. Brandon is a filmmaker who is most well known for his acting work in the HBO series Co-Ed Confidential and numerous B-Movies. Brandon has worked with Roger Corman alumni Fred Olen Ray and Jim Wynorski along with a number of other very talented directors. Brandon's Directorial debut GRINDER will be out in theaters in 2016.
YoungFilmmakers screens quarterly in New York at Anthology Film Archives. Opened in 1970 by Jonas Mekas, Jerome Hill, P. Adams Sitney, Peter Kubelka, and Stan Brakhage, Anthology in its original conception was a showcase for the Essential Cinema Repertory collection. An ambitious attempt to define the art of cinema by means of a selection of films which would screen continuously, the Essential Cinema collection was intended to encourage the study of the medium's masterworks as works of art rather than disposable entertainment, making Anthology the first museum devoted to film as an art form. The project was never completed, but even in its unfinished state it represented an uncompromising critical overview of cinema's history, and remains a crucial part of Anthology's exhibition program.

11. Discuss Silas' cycle of fortune. Is he the victim of circumstance?
12. How does Godfrey change in the course of the novel? Refer to specific scenes.
13. Using various characters, assemble Eliot's picture of the rural gentry. What does her ideal for this class seem to be?
14. What value does the past hold in this novel?
15. Compare Raveloe with the city Silas comes from.
11. Jot down on scrap paper various elements in Silas' life, and look for parallels in Godfrey's. Then do the reverse- find elements in Godfrey's life that are paralleled in Silas'. These may include: their brothers (Dane and Dunstan), their fiancees (Nancy and Sarah), their relationships to Eppie, or their sixteen-year cycles of exile and redemption.
Begin your answer with a broad statement about the role of parallels in tying the two plots together. Then discuss each element in turn. Show not only the similarities in their stories but also the differences that become apparent when parallel events are contrasted. For example, Silas' fiancee breaks off their engagement when he's falsely accused, but Godfrey becomes engaged to Nancy when his true secret is not revealed. Refer to specific scenes in the book whenever possible. For example, in writing about their differing relationships to Eppie, you might refer to the two scenes when Eppie, first as an infant and then as a grown girl, turns away from Godfrey to touch Silas' face. End with a paragraph looking at the pattern that the parallels create in the novel as a whole, and discussing the symmetry of the novel.
12. Begin by comparing Silas' and Dolly's religions. Discuss this on several levels: the different words they use, the different rituals they follow, their different concepts of God, and their different religious spirits. Then discuss how these religions affect the plot, referring to specific incidents. For example, Silas' religion creates a tragic situation when he is falsely accused by the drawing of lots. Dolly's religion helps Silas to be incorporated into the community when he takes Eppie to be christened. Finally, define what you think is Eliot's moral scheme in this book. Look at the plot- who gets punished and who is rewarded? Refer also to her own comments. Then show how this moral scheme fits in with either of these two religions.
13. Before you answer, make a list of details, characters, and events for each scene. Find items in the two lists which are similar or in direct contrast. Focus your discussion upon these points. Contrasts might include the fact that the Rainbow group is lower class and all-male, while the Red House group also has upperclass and female characters. Similarities might include the fact that Silas interrupts both scenes, and music and social rituals are important in both. Decide whether there are more contrasts or similarities. Then, in your opening paragraph, make a statement about how similar or different the two scenes are. Following this, you can organize your answer in one of two ways. You can discuss the Rainbow scene first and then the Red House scene. Or you can discuss each point of comparison separately. In your final paragraph, describe the total picture of Raveloe. If you've focused on contrasts, you might say Raveloe is really two different social worlds. If you've focused on similarities, you might say it's a harmonious community, with one set of values for all social classes.
14. Jot down the names of the book's major characters. Then beside them write names of their family and what the family is like. Don't take the word "family" too literally. It may include adoptive relations, such as Silas and Eppie, or very close friendships, such as Silas and William Dane or Dolly and Eppie. It may even include strong social groups, such as Silas' sect (the "brethren"). You can organize your answer in several different ways, according to whatever pattern you see in this list. For instance, you may want to contrast happy families to unhappy families. You may want to contrast biological families to families united by affection. Or if you think all of the families exemplify a similar feeling or value, you can discuss them one at a time, focusing on that common feature. Your opening sentence should state whatever pattern you are examining. Then work through the examples you have listed, referring to specific scenes in the book. In your final paragraph, tie this pattern into the themes and values of the book as a whole.
15. Begin by writing about actual objects and scenes that are bright or dark, such as Silas' bright gold, Molly's dark vial of opium, Silas' paleness, Eppie's and Godfrey's blond hair, Silas' bright cottage, or the Casses' dark parlor. Discuss what value each of these objects has in the plot- good, bad, dangerous, precious, etc. Then move to a more abstract level and discuss how various scenes are pictured as bright or dark. For example, the robbery of Silas' gold is a dark night scene, but his afternoons in the meadow with Eppie are light. Finally, examine the use of bright and dark as concepts in the book. For example, Godfrey speaks of Nancy as his bright hope, Silas talks about the dark mystery of his fate, and Dolly talks about the light shed by religion. If you see a definite pattern to all this imagery, define it in your final paragraph. If you don't, discuss the effect upon the novel of a pattern of imagery that's constantly changing.
11. First, outline Silas' cycle of fortune by briefly summarizing his story. Discuss which incidents mark his lowest points and which are his highest points. Analyze briefly the novel's symmetry. Then discuss the ways in which Silas seems a victim of circumstance. These may include his mysterious trances, the random treachery of others (such as William Dane and Dunstan), and the accidents that lead to his fatal events (such as his leaving his door open). In your next paragraph, discuss the ways in which Silas controls his fate. Talk here about conscious decisions he makes (to go away with his door unlocked, to keep the baby Eppie) and about features of his personality, such as his trusting nature, his miserliness, or his withdrawal from human companionship. Depending upon which examples persuade you most, finish with a paragraph arguing your case one way or the other. Show how the themes of the book support your case- do they show human beings as victims or as responsible creatures?
12. Begin by summarizing the events of Godfrey's story. Point out how it intersects with Silas' story. Then devote a paragraph to describing in detail Godfrey's personality in Part One. Discuss what Eliot says about him and how other characters regard him. Analyze his mental and emotional state during dramatized scenes. Refer to specific actions which reveal his character (such as letting Dunstan sell Wildfire or rushing into the snow in dancing shoes). In the next paragraph, describe Godfrey in Part Two. Again, look at all the various ways the author presents him to you. Emphasize how he's changed since Part One and how he hasn't changed. For example, he now speaks of God instead of fortune, but he still covers his selfish motives with a noble air when he offers to adopt Eppie. In your final paragraph, sum up how he's changed and discuss why these changes occurred.
13. Before writing, jot down the names of all the gentry characters you can remember. Try to group them in some pattern. For instance, you may want to write about the professionals, such as Kimble and Crackenthorpe, the good farmers, such as the Lammeters and Osgoods, and then the rural "first family," the Casses. Or you may want to talk about the younger generation- Godfrey, Dunstan, Nancy, Priscilla- as opposed to the older generation. You may want to discuss the men first and then the women. Deal with the strong families, the Lammeters and Osgoods, as opposed to weak families, the Casses and Kimbles. Write about the characters whom you think Eliot approves of first, and then discuss the characters you think she doesn't approve of. When you have chosen your pattern, begin your answer with a general statement about Eliot's view of this class. Then devote a paragraph to each separate cluster of characters you're discussing. In your final paragraph, define Eliot's moral values in this novel. Then show which gentry characters seem most in tune with those values.
14. In your opening sentence, define "the past"- familiar objects, personal memories, and traditions. Then devote a paragraph to examples of each category. Under familiar objects, you might discuss Silas' brown pot, the furze bush and stone-pit that Eppie cherishes, or the Squire's tankards at the Red House. Refer to specific scenes which show what value these hold for certain characters. Under personal memories, discuss characters who cling to their memories, such as Silas, Eppie, Mr. Macey, or Nancy. Discuss how these characters are psychologically affected by their memories. Show how, in some cases, this changes the plot. Under traditions, talk about the traditions of Raveloe and how the community preserves them. In your final paragraph, define the value of the past in this novel. What other themes does it tie in with? How is it related to the novel's setting and tone?
15. Make two lists, side by side, of details describing the city and the village. Find parallels and contrasts in those two lists. If it helps, focus your thinking on two parts of the book: when Silas first comes to Raveloe and compares it to his hometown, and thirty-two years later when Silas returns to the city and sees it through new eyes. Look for differences on many levels: physical details, economic conditions, values, and social structures. In some cases, compare Raveloe directly with Lantern-Yard- for example, in contrasting their religious beliefs. In other cases, look at the city as a whole. For example, the Lantern- Yard sect is a small community trying to maintain its identity within the large urban area, while Raveloe is a tightly integrated community where everyone knows everybody else. Begin your answer with a general statement about the two settings of the book and how they fit into the plot. Then work through your list of examples. Whenever possible, show how Eliot seems to feel about these settings. In your final paragraph, define the historical significance of these two settings for the novel. Then express your own opinion about Eliot's purpose in contrasting them.

An annual tournament that celebrates New Hampshire's hockey heritage is getting underway again in Concord.
The 1883 Black Ice Pond Hockey Championship is named for the year the nation's first organized hockey game was played on a frozen pond at St. Paul's School in Concord.
The tournament, which was created in 2011, is held on the pond at White Park. Teams compete 4-on-4 with no goalies and no nets - the goals are boxes with slots cut into them.
In addition to lots of hockey, Friday's kickoff includes ice sculpting, music, a bonfire and fireworks. The tournament continues through Sunday.

Cotton Seeds Oil
Cottonseed oil is one kind of edible oil in the world, which the byproduct in the industry of cotton planting. After been apart from shells, the magnitude of cotton kernel is about 40%. Cotton usually grow in the torrid zone and subtropical zone.Cotton Seeds Oil is one of the most popular edible oils in India.
Semifinished cotton oil is a kind of oil with dark color and unfavorable smell and bitterness. The major reason that semifinished cotton oil is dark color is that the semifinished cotton oil contains about 1% free oil, other ramification, phosphorus fat, sterol and etc. When refine it, gossypol, mucilage can be removed, the content can be 0.01% or even less. Then we can get the cotton clear oil with jasmine and no bad smell.
The quality of semifinished cotton oil depends on the condition of climate after the cotton matured. If it is dry , good quality cotton oil can be produced, on the contrary , if it is drippy, the
quality of oil would not good. So the acid value of the semifinished oil, which is obtained from wet or reechy cottonseed is high.
Cottonseed oil contents high level of saturated fatty acid, so the freezing point of conttonseed oil is rather high, and can be thick even freeze on the condition of lower temperature. After refrigeration, the cottonseed oil without stearin can also be clear on the condition of 0 for five hours. This kind of cottonseed oil is named freeze cottonseed oil. It can be used as axunge. The remanent part is called cottonseed stearin, it is a flaxen cheese fat which can be used as the raw material of margarine and the substitute of swine fat.
The color feedback of cottonseed oil: heaping up with 1% carbon disulfide and chlorobenzene liquor, cottonseed oil has the ingenious redness reaction, it is called Halfen experimentation.

The West Hollywood City Council has revoked its decision to allow builder Mark A. Siffin to erect lucrative V-shaped billboards atop his Sunset Millennium development.
Without discussion, the council voted 3 to 2 Tuesday night to withdraw the approval.
Separately, a longtime supporter of the Sunset Strip project late Tuesday sued West Hollywood Mayor John Heilman and the council, contending that Heilman should not be allowed to vote on any actions related to the project because he lives within 500 feet of one of the buildings.
The complaint, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of West Hollywood resident Jehuda Renan, seeks to prohibit Heilman from participating in any future decisions about Sunset Millennium and to set aside any previous council votes in which he took part.
The rooftop advertising--and the overall project--have become highly contentious in the community, which is set between the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. Critics have complained that problems would outweigh any benefits to the city. West Hollywood will receive a projected $8 million in annual tax revenue from the project, which Siffin says will include a luxury hotel.

text: Last night was a nightmare when driving. I always took Diversion road because it is the shortest cut going to the venue where Mj is swimming. It was raining so the road is a bit slippery however I made sure that I am stepping the brake from time to time as I was also going downhill. I saw a truck parked in the middle of the road on the other lane so I slow down, I didn't expect that another truck will go my way, as he tried to avoid the truck that was parking on his lane. If I wasn't able to step on brake, I am sure the truck will hit me big time, I was worried that a car behind me would hit me as I step the brake so sudden but good he was also able to step on brake on time. I was shocked and surprised that I was not able to move and transfer to the outer lane right away, I feel like my soul was thrown away that it didn't went back for like a minute or two, I was just sitting there shocked if my daughter didn't say anything I won't move for another 3 or 4 minutes. From what happened to me last night, we should always thankful to GOD for the gift of life and we should always pray for his guidance.

From the quarries at Tyrau Mawr, the railway runs down under Craig Las, along the valley East North East to Ty'n y Ceunant (TYC) farm, a short distance up the Pony Path from Ty Nant car park. This part of the route is fairly straight with a steady drop. At the farm, it is joined by the branch from Llynau Cregennen which runs down an adjacent valley to the North. A passing loop serves the Llynau branch. This is very popular with tourists and is also used by shooting parties for the Bryn Brith lodge. Legend has it that the island in the larger lake was thrown in as a pebble when the giant Idris lost his temper one day.
The direct route from TYC down the valley past Gwernan lake and Rhyd Wen is too steep for realistic working, exceeding the ruling gradient of 1 in 70. Therefore the railway heads North toward Islaw Dref and down the Gwynant Valley, following a large loop under Hafod Owen and winding down through the woods past Kings and the YHA.
Clinging to the contours, the route then veers East again towards the station halt at Penmaenuchaf, an steep climb for passengers from the George III pub and main-line station at Penmaenpool. Half a mile beyond is the junction for Bont Wnion exchange siding where the basalt is transhipped onto the main line spur from Morfa Mawddach, the Ruabon main line having closed in early1963.
The railway headquarters and works are at the Marian Station yard by the River Wnion in Dolgellau. From there, the route runs East under the town bridge and then on for a quarter of a mile to the Cambrian Brewery sidings. Although the brewery traffic ceased when plant closed before World War 2, the buildings were then used by two generations of the Jenkins family who operated a moss wholesale and nursery business from there. The siding also served for animal traffic destined for the town's slaughter house and is occasionally used for funerals at the local town cemetery.
Passing Felin Ship, the line is sandwiched between the river and the Arran Road but then follows a low embankment through the river meadows to the hamlet of Dolgun where there is a passing loop. This is also a popular stop for those tourists who wish to hike up the picturesque Torrent Walk or visit the hotel at Dolserau. There is also an incline and siding serving theTy'r Stint slate working.
This speculative route of the Grogennen Railway was determined after studying the Ordnance Survey maps of the area and excercising a little local knowledge, taking full account of the stock and traffic that would have been expected on inception.

Main Page/Resources/CEP
From Atenea
Complex Event Processing (CEP) is a method for tracking and analyzing streams of information about events that happen in a system, and deriving conclusions from them. CEP permits defining complex events based on the events produced by the incoming sources, to identify complex meaningful circumstances and to respond to them as quickly as possible. Such event types and patterns are defined using Event Processing Languages (EPLs). However, as the complexity of CEP programs grows, they become difficult to understand and to prove correct.
This website provides the implementation code for the three CEP-based case studies described in our paper entitled "Formalizing Complex Event Processing Systems in Maude", which proposes a formal framework for the specification of CEP applications, using rewriting logic and Maude, to allow developers to formally analyze and prove properties of their CEP programs. Maude permits modeling, simulation, analysis and semantic validation of CEP programs.
Case Studies
Accident Monitoring
Let us assume a fleet of motorbikes equipped with sensors that produce real-time information about their state, including the pressure of their two tires, their location and speed, and whether the driver on the seat or not. We are interested in monitoring them, being able to detect in real time flat tires, vehicle crashes or accidents. In particular, we are interested in the following derived events:
- BlowOutTire: The pressure of one of the tires of a moving motorbike goes down from more than 2.0 BAR to less than 1.2 BAR in less than 5 seconds.
- Crash: The speed of a motorbike goes from more than 50 km/h to 0 km/h in less than 3 seconds.
- DriverLeftSeat: The seat sensor detects that the motorbike driver has left the seat.
- Accident: A moving motorbike suffers a blow out of one of its tires, then a Crash event is detected, and the driver is thrown out, everything within less than 3 seconds.
- AccidentsReport: A derived event with the number of Accidents per day and location.
- DangerousLocation: This event is raised every time 100 events of type Crash are detected in a given location.
Temperature Monitoring
This case study simulates a simplistic temperature monitoring system at a Nuclear Plant [1]. Using the temperature measurements produced every second by the Plant sensors as the simple events, the CEP application defines and processes the following three types of events:
- Monitor: computes the average temperature every 10 seconds
- Warning: warns if 2 consecutive temperatures above a certain threshold (400ºC) are detected
- Critical: alerts of any sudden, rising escalating temperature spike whereby there are 4 consecutive events, with the first one above 100ºC, each subsequent one greater than the previous, and the last one being 1.5 times greater than the first.
Air Quality Monitoring
This is an example of real CEP application that automatically controls air quality in real time across the Andalusian region (33,694 sq. miles, 8.4 million people). It uses the existing Andalusian regional government's sensor network composed of 61 sensor stations spread all over the region. Each station measures every 10 minutes six air pollutants including, e.g., Carbon Monoxide, Ozone, Nitrogen Dioxide and Sulfur Dioxide. In this case study, the air quality is measured using the index proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which defines windows of 1, 8 or 24 hours to analyze the simple events depending on the specific air pollutant, and expresses the results in a 6-grade scale, from Good to Hazardous [2].
The CEP application is defined in terms of 43 rules. The information about each pollutant measurement is aggregated by one rule, and other six rules determine the grade of the air quality for this pollutant. This makes seven rules for every pollutant, and therefore we need 42 rules to analyze six pollutants. A final rule AirQualityLevel calculates the global air quality level by computing the maximum of the grades obtained for each pollutant.

Kitchen Remodel in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood of Bradenton
- Cabinetry: UltraCraft Vision Collection
- Doorstyle: Venezia
- Finish: Buttermilk with Caramel Patina
- Countertops: Viatera Sapporo
- Style: Transitional Tuscan
Taking a Mt. Vernon Condo from Blah to Aaahhh
When the owners of this Mt. Vernon condo in Bradenton began considering a new kitchen, they did their research. They looked online; watched HGTV; checked out the design magazines; and took a trip to the local home show – which is where I met them.
They were sick of the small, 70's era kitchen they inherited when they bought the unit, and had definite ideas about what they wanted in their kitchen remodel: light finishes, a traditional look, plenty of storage, and a bigger feel. These folks also had an issue to work around: the tile floors continued through the entire house and couldn't be matched – reusing the existing floor was essential to their tight budget.
The first design goal to tackle was a bigger feel. If you can't match the tile floor, then you can't remove walls. How do you make a kitchen bigger without removing walls? Our solution was two-fold: remove the old, dated, domed-ceiling, to free up another 12" in ceiling height; and greatly expand an existing pass thru to the dining area.
Expanding the pass thru gave us an easy solution to another of the clients' desires – a better breakfast bar. By wrapping the breakfast counter around a wasted corner, it not only gave them more eating space, but it visually increased the size of the kitchen without actually increasing its size. And with 12" more clearance in the kitchen ceiling, we were able to increase the height of the cabinets, thus adding thirty-three percent more storage by including another shelf in each. More storage, bigger feel, same space – done!
After looking at a variety of cabinetry options, the homeowners opted for the budget-friendly Venezia doorstyle in Buttermilk finish from UltraCraft Cabinetry. (Venezia is part of UltraCraft's unique Vision Collection which utilizes Eurotek veneer, a micro-woodfiber technology that is combined with baked-on, industrial-grade, catalyzed-conversion varnish, giving the Vision Collection a color fast, durable finish.) The great part is that the Buttermilk finish comes with a Caramel patina. My clients received the look of a painted and glazed door – without any of the upgrade costs!
We chose to pair the antique white cabinet finish with Sapporo countertops, an earthy brown quartz composite from Viatera. The new, open kitchen made the dark counter the focal point. The terra cotta accent seen in an otherwise light tumbled stone backsplash was the inspiration for the rust paint tones that really set off the creamy cabinets. Finishing the appliances with stainless steel brings an upscale cohesiveness to the entire room.
All in all, I think we took care of the homeowners' desires of a bigger, lighter, traditional space – what do you think?

Top 10 Problems with the Nintendo SwitchMcgillacuddy
The Top Ten
There's a number of different news, polls and YouTube videos of people's Switch consoles facing a number of different technical problems. Even one of my friends also got a faulty one. - Mcgillacuddy
Mine works fine and I got it a month or 2 after it was out
Hopefully they'll manage to fix this issue. - Rue
It's the fourth cheapest console by LAUNCH. Its accessories are overpriced, but not the Switch itself. - shawnmccaul22
In other countries yeah, but in America isn't too bad. Unless you count those scumbag scalpers... - Rue
What? $300 is the regular price for a console
No it really isn't since the Xbox one cost $500 at launch and ps4 cost %400 at launch. The switch only cost $300, which is about the price of a xbox one s, ps4 slim, and cheaper than a ps4 pro and (soon to be launched) xbox one s. Only thing pricy about it are it's pro controllers and overpriced dock. - USGCV 2 Comments
The Wii didn't have many games at launch and it still did very well. You can't really have a lot of launch titles, you don't want to overwhelm your consumers on which games to pick, especially when many will be only picking one game when they first get the console. - Rue
To be fair, 1 amazing launch game is 1 more than most consoles can pull off, so this isn't the worst launch in history. That said, there's just not enough games period. - Zach808
Out of the launch titles, only one of them is amazing. It should be fairly obvious which game I'm talking about here...
Hopefully this will improve in a year's time or so. - Entranced98V 1 Comment
As long as it's inexpensive and fixes the god awful wifi connections that previous Nintendo consoles/handhelds had, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. - Rue
Only $2 a month, *cough* cheap *chough
Not as much of an issue as one might think since the cartridges don't require installation, but best to get a bit more space if you download a lot of eshop games. - Zach808
Could be better
Ugh it gets annoying!
To fix that get a screen protector that's why they exist.
Why would it scratch the screen that is just poor tech
The left Joy Con to be specific.. - Rue
It's, um, y'know, supposed to? - TheInsomniac
The Wii U came out around 2012 and it FAILED big time. They needed to release a newer console and actually make sure it doesn't fail this time around. - Rue
It kinda sucked for me because I was really excited when I got a Wii U for Christmas, and then the Switch came out the following year. But that was just my experience. - TheInsomniac
I am planning to get a switch quickly, I hope they don't release another console only 3 years after it's release - B1ueNew
Oh no - TheInsomniac
The Contenders
Really? Name ONE similarity between mario Odyssey and 3D World other than you play as Mario. - TheInsomniac
If you shake it around in someone's face it could give someone a seizure! - EliHbk
Can't stand your Switch up while charging, very big flaw.

Take for instance in last week's season premiere episode, when the floor blows is blown out from beneath the 62 crew, they're left dangling, holding on for dear life. When the The B-52's song "Dance this Mess Around" is juxtaposed over this tense moment, each firefighter seemingly dances with death, scrambling to try and save their own life (and a cat or two.) Most drama's would play it safe and pick a histrionic song to play to the viewers emotions, but in this case their choice was both bold and perfect. As each firefighter fell into the flames, the music softened the blow just as much as the pile of stuffed animals they landed on below. Later on, the episode ends with The Del Fuego's (should've been) classic "Backseat Nothing," reminding us that singer/guitarist Dan Zanes used to play rock for adults before he started working for Disney.
Leary (and co-creator/writer Peter Tolan) don't like to play by the rules (Tolan wrote a lot of great The Larry Sanders Show episodes hinting at this,) and last season was no exception. It's the blackest of comedy dramas on TV right now, and any given episode you'll be confronted with revenge sex, racial slurs, addictions of all kinds - you name the taboo, and they've looked at it without flinching. While the first two episodes this season have nothing as controversial as the scene where Leary's Tommy rapes his own wife in last season, there's still porn, masturbation, racial slurs, autism and erectile disfunction to piss off the politically correct. But it's all in such a context as to be offensive only to those not familiar with each characters' heart and dysfunction. You could call it a soap opera for dudes.
This last episode helped resolve the season finale with a case of erectile dysfunction - to stay out of jail, Tommy has to admit he couldn't get it up, but deep down, he knows this to not be true. We all know it's not true... not just because it's one of Sheila's lies, but also because how else could Tommy get the likes of Andrea Roth, Callie Thorne, Marisa Tomei, Jennifer Esposito and (making an appearance later this season) Gina Gershon. The typing the names made me straighten up in my chair. Also referenced in the episode was Brooklyn streetball legend Jack "Black Jack" Ryan, who is considered one of the greatest basketball players ever to not play in the NBA (video.) And finally, the episode ended with TV on the Radio's "Wolf Like Me" which could've made a great theme song for the series (not that "C'mon C'mon" is chopped liver,) perfectly describing Tommy's cursed existence:
Got a curse I cannot liftPlaylist: Rescue Me - Eps 401-402
Shines when the sunset shifts
When the moon is round and full
Gotta bust that box gotta gut that fish
My mind's aflame...
1. "Dance This Mess Around" - The B-52's - The floor falls out from the crew and they fall into the flames one by one
2. "Backseat Nothing" - The Del Fuegos - Tommy goes to meet with Sheila about the fire
3. "Wolf Like Me" - TV On The Radio - Tommy commandeers a fire engine and the crew rides out to find his daughter
More: I totally missed the short lived series Leary and Tolan did called The Job, but after experiencing Rescue Me, this has moved to the top of my Netflix que.

Looking at other film posters which come under the same genre/sub genre as my own (Psychological thriller). I wanted to research conventions used .
From looking at the these few films which have helps inspire our own short film it is clear to see that they all share similar colour schemes of blue/grey/black/white and sometimes red.
This colour scheme is shown to be a key indicator is the genre itself which is easily recognised by audiences everywhere. When creating our own poster it may be best to represent our genre clearly by using a similar colour scheme to create the same dramatic effect.
The colour blue often symbolises depth which can indicate to our audience that the film has more to it than what they originally though and that there is a deeper meaning to the storyline ( the themes of mental instability and drink driving awareness )
We have also looked into different formats of film posters such as different compositions of the photos and having no photos and going for a more graphic look. As you can see from the examples above, a lot of psychological thrillers use a graphic based poster which are usually very simplistic with one main symbolic meaning from the film represented by a symbol - which is usually the main focus of the poster. Although this is not the most traditional form of film poster, I feel like it feels very modern and shows lot about the film from the imagery and iconography used. I also like the symbolic meaning behind it.
Another thing which we have picked up from the posters is the sense of surrealism of the posters. They tend to have very contrasted colours and creates a sense of escapism. They posters often look simple yet very detailed at the same time. It is obvious that the creators of the poster has a very obvious intent of what they want to audience to take away from the image and how they want them to feel.

For students whose needs are so extensive that they cannot be met in the traditional classroom setting, the Discovery Program Magnet for gifted learners may be an appropriate placement.

The National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) guiding principles indicate, "rather than any single gifted program, a continuum of programming services must exist for gifted learners." Each elementary school is served by a gifted education contact. The contact will collaborate/consult with classroom teachers to appropriately extend the content for identified gifted students. The contact may also provide direct instruction to cluster groups of gifted students in and out of the classroom setting, as determined by student academic need.
Each school site provides for high-ability learners in the classroom through the implementation of some or all of the following strategies:
The NAGC recommends that all students have the opportunity to participate in the screening process for identification to ensure equitable access to programming. In accordance with state and national guidelines, the Gifted Education department has developed a process to gather data in order to match appropriate services to identified student need.
Gifted and Talented Who We ServeGifted and talented students are those students between the ages of four and twenty-one whose abilities, talents, and potential for accomplishment are so exceptional or developmentally advanced that they require special provisions to meet their educational programming needs. Gifted students include students with disabilities (i.e. twice exceptional) and students with exceptional abilities or potential from all socio-economic and ethnic, cultural populations. Gifted students are capable of high performance, exceptional production, or exceptional learning behavior by virtue of any or a combination of these areas:
Gifted Programming is designed to meet the academic, social/ emotional, and behavioral needs of students identified with advanced learning needs. Teachers in the classroom differentiate instruction as students demonstrate a need for more depth and complexity.

Want more information about the district's Discovery Program?
Douglas County School District has four Magnet Schools for Gifted & Talented programming. This format is typically referred to as the Discovery Program. The four schools that provide Discovery Programs are Acres Green and Northridge Elementary in Highlands Ranch, Pine Lane Elementary in Parker, and Renaissance in Castle Rock. More information about Neighborhood Programming and the Discovery Program can be found at the following link.
Placement in the Discovery Program is based on "documented advanced cognitive ability as evidenced by the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) provided by the district, above grade level performance, advanced CSAP, parent, teacher, and student input." The deadline for 2015-2016 school year is December 1, 2014.
Neighborhood schools have a person designated as the GT Contact, who helps classroom teachers write, implement and monitor GT students' Advanced Learning Plans (ALPs). Classroom teachers differentiate to meet the needs of their GT students and sometimes work with grade level teammates to compact the curriculum and accelerate learning. Some schools may offer enrichment programs, which are held during or before/after the school day, depending on the program.

Referral Form - Identification process
CogAT Testing
In DCSD, CogAT testing is provided once a year at our elementary schools. The testing window is typically in early September. For the 2014-2105 SY, CogAT testing occurred September 9th-11th for 3rd graders. All 3rd graders take the CogAT each year at their school site. There is no paperwork that needs to be completed in order to have your third grader tested. Testing is provided for all 3rd graders as a way to collect important educational data on all district students.
New for the fall of 2015--all 6th graders will be taking the CogAT. More information to follow!!
During the same window, referral testing is also available. For the 2014-2015 SY, referral testing will take place the week of September 8th. Referral for CogAT testing is limited to those students who are new to Douglas County and/or have not previously taken the CogAT test. Any 4th, 5th or 6th grade student who does not yet have CogAT data may be referred for testing. Students in 1st and 2nd grade will receive CogAT testing in 3rd Grade. Only those who demonstrate abilities or talents that are "so exceptional or developmentally advanced that they require special provisions to meet their educational programming needs" should be referred for testing.
The CogAT testing referral
window is now CLOSED.
All requests were due to Leanne Forbes,
GT Facilitator, by August 22nd.
(Numbers must be finalized and testing booklets ordered, so late requests cannot be honored.)

Have you always been the creative type? Do you feel like you can't be creative at work? This is why you can use arts and crafts to express yourself. These ideas will let you express yourself even more.
Are you looking for a great place to find craft materials? You can find everything you need on the Internet. A quick search will help you locate the best deals. Some of these online shops offer free shipping, which helps you save more money.
There are all sorts of things that you can use for your arts and crafts. Paper goods that you throw away make great options. Paper towel rolls and also rolls from toilet paper often end up in craft projects. Newspapers can even be put to use. When you project scraps, use them in a creative way.
It's important to remember that you should not have one set idea in mind as to how the finished project should look when doing crafts with children. It's sometimes best to tell them what to make, but now how to do it. That way they can use their own creative ideas to come up with something unique. To illustrate, they may come up with ways to paint or glue something that didn't occur to you. Ideas that come from them are more meaningful than the results.
Go easy on kids when they are doing arts and crafts. You need to remember that this is designed to foster their creativity. They won't if you point out problem areas with what they're doing.
If you've got a cloudiness to your mosaic after the mortar is dried, try to wipe the mosaic clean with a rag sprayed with glass cleaner. Powder from the mortar is hard to to clean out, and you would not want this powder to affect the finish of your final product.
Beadaholique is a place to get just about all you need for custom jewelry. There are all sorts of accessories there to help you make some excellent looking jewelry. Costume jewelry is very popular in today's fashion scene. If you create your own, then you will be saving money at the same time you are coordinating your jewelry to your wardrobe.
Arts and crafts can be fun for kids of any age. If you have several kids in a group, think about which project they can all enjoy. Find ideas online or ask friends for ideas.
Stick to one project at a time. Many times it's tempting to begin several projects at once. You might abandon some of your projects if you start too many things. Take your time and enjoy each project before beginning the next exciting project. This increases the odds that each project will be completed.
If you're engaging in oil painting and don't like what you've just painted on canvas, paint right over it. Oil is adaptable and the extra pain coats won't harm the surface. Indeed, you may find that you achieve even greater depth of color.
If you are having arts and crafts time with children, remember that you don't have to have exact examples of each project. Let your kids create using their imaginations, and see what happens. They might switch an eye and an ear on a face, for example. It is important to allow them to express their creativity.
You and your children can make a quick and easy bird feeder by taking a pine cone then covering the outside with peanut butter. Dip it in seed as it's still tacky. The peanut butter gets the seeds stuck, which stay even once dried. Attach it to a tree or structure with a string, and everyone can enjoy the birds coming.
Search for new arts and crafts inspirations online. There are lots of sites that have useful ideas. You will find stuff that anyone can do online.
Before embarking on a particular project, make certain you have all your supplies on hand. It is no fun to get halfway through a project, and not be able to finish it because you are missing a component. Make a supplies list before you start, then check off each item before you start.
Your kitchen has a lot of potential in providing you with arts and craft materials. There is so much arts and crafts treasures out there. Things alike metal cans, glass jars, and tin foil are just a few examples. Dried pasta could be a material you can use also.
If you are someone who enjoys arts and crafts then Etsy is the perfect website for you. Etsy allows you to find hard to find craft items for your projects. Etsy is a great website that allows you to upload and sell your favorite arts and crafts creations, and can help you finance your hobby.
If you're trying to pick up oil painting and you mess up, no worries! Simply paint over the mess up on the canvas. Oil is adaptable and it won't do any harm to the surface. It can help you make something that has lots of depth and is a fascinating design.
Have fun exploring patterns with a Spirograph. This shows children how patterns work.
Arts and crafts activities are a great way to entertain a large group of children or adults. There are projects out there for people of all ages. Check the Internet for ideas that fit the age range you are personally dealing with.
When doing arts and crafts with children, look for additional learning opportunities in the project. You can have them count out things you need, subtract things as they use them, read the directions, or find other things that will help the children learn as they have fun doing a project.
Get everything together ahead of your project. After starting the project, the last thing you want is to be disorganized and not have what is needed to finish it. Create a list and see if you have what you need or if you have to buy anything.
Think about buying wholesale craft supplies. You will pay more for supplies if you shop at conventional retailers or boutiques. But, buying wholesale means a lot of cost savings for you! Pass your surplus onto friends or sell it for profit.
Take the time to make a few gifts instead of purchasing them. Create personal gifts throughout the year and give them away during the holidays. A lot of people prefer handmade items over something from a store, and you can save a ton of money, as well.
Don't throw anything out! There are many uses for this packaging. Just clean the items and save them for a rainy day.
Etsy is a great website for crafters. You can find thousands of creations on sale, or just look around to gather ideas to use on your personal projects. Etsy is a great place to post your top-notch projects to bring in some additional cash to pay for your craft.
Check online for deals. You can get good deals on the Internet. Check out your favorite online retailer and see what they have to offer. Internet prices are typically going to be cheaper than big box retailers.
When doing arts and crafts with children, look for additional learning opportunities in the project. You can use math by having them count objects, subtract as you use them, try and read the instructions, or a number of other tasks that will help them learn while enjoying the fun!
Some stores have pamphlets with crafts in them. While you're checking out the store, look for them. They tend to be placed on hooks near eye-level. Near these informative booklets, look for the needed project supplies.
Avoid throwing out product packaging. Create some beautiful arts and crafts by re-purposing these materials. Put all of the packaging together in a box or bin so it is easily accessible when you have a new art project you want to do.
If you have brushes that are filled with paint and they seem like they will be hard to wash, try soaking them in baby oil for a few minutes prior to washing them. This will help get the paint out of the bristles.
You can post on freebies and exchange sites in order to ask for certain supplies for craft projects. The discoveries you make may astound you. Many people could be looking to get rid of the very supplies you are in need of, so you can get them for little to no money at all.
Want to make arts and crafts even more fun? Try making items that you can use around the house. You can create things to decorate with like flower pots, picture frames, blinds, cushions, and more. You can even make these items as gifts for your loved ones.
Make sure that you allow yourself plenty of time for your arts and crafts. Don't rush your projects. To get the best quality, you need to put in good time. If you cannot spare the time, your project will not turn out well. Therefore, take your time, and you will be happy to see what difference there is in the results.
Take some time to organize your crafting space so you can spend more time enjoying your projects. Being organized can help save you time. Anything you use a lot should be easy to access.
Many retailers offer free instructions for craft projects. Keep an eye out for those types of pamphlets when you're looking inside the store. Those are generally put in an easy to find spot. The supplies should be near the pamphlet as well.
If your kids need new supplies and you'd rather not spend a lot of money, take a look around your kitchen for a variety of items! Different shapes of uncooked pasta and other food items along with some paint, glue and paper plates can help them create an art festival at home. Have kids glue the dry pasta into patterns and shapes, then they can paint them.
If you need some inspiration when it comes to arts and crafts ideas, then look to nature. Especially when it comes to color, mother nature got it right. You can go for a long walk in the woods or look at pictures of exotic places if you are in need of inspiration. The inspiration should be instant, and the creative ideas will be everywhere around you!
Cooking is also a craft, even though it is not the first one that comes to mind. You can get wild with birthday cake decorating and the recipients will enjoy your artistic creations. Decorating cupcakes could be easier.
While people seem not to like to sew as much as they used to, there are great, simple projects that make for enjoyable learning. Look online or go to a local store to find fabric that inspires you so that you can make something simple and beautiful. Look through all the books with patterns to choose the one you want, and heed the instructions carefully.
If you want to make a clock for a new baby, ask for pictures of babies throughout the family. Use them to form a mosaic pattern with rounded-out holes in place of the hours. Cut some clear glass, or plastic, to cover the holes. Glue the pictures into place. Completely cover the whole clock with glass then add the hands and motor. Now, you have created a beautiful clock that this child will treasure forever.
Now that you are done with this article, your mind is probably racing with ideas. Arts and crafts projects are wonderful ways to express your creative side and make utility items as well. This article should help you bring out your creative side.
If you want to start doing arts and crafts, it's best to be sure you can afford it. Each type of crafts requires supplies. A good example of this is the yarn you would buy to knit. Before committing to a craft, plan for what you need.

A 60 Second Review by Anne Brees
★★★★★ (4.75)
Genre – Young Adult Fantasy
Summary – "Our Dragon doesn't eat the girls he takes, no matter what stories they tell outside our valley. We hear them sometimes, from travelers passing through. They talk as though we were doing human sacrifice, and he were a real dragon. Of course that's not true: he may be a wizard and immortal, but he's still a man, and our fathers would band together and kill him if he wanted to eat one of us every ten years. He protects us against the Wood, and we're grateful, but not that grateful."
Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life.
Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood.
The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows—everyone knows—that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn't, and her dearest friend in the world. And there is no way to save her.
But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose.
Initial Thoughts – If you are in need of a classic fantasy novel, this is the one for you. It has the princesses and princes, wizards and witches, good and evil, and anything else you could want in a fantasy novel.
Plot – ★★★★★ Once we got past the introduction of the story, there was never a point in the book where Agneishzka and The Dragon weren't in a battle against the Woods. This novel had bloody battles, intense magic, and brave explorations. It was terrifyingly exciting.
Characters – ★★★★★ I loved Agnieshzka's bravery and loyalty. Though she was a little dumb or clueless in the beginning, she grew as she better understood the world around her. The Dragon was an asshole for the only purpose of being an asshole, yet somehow I still loved him too.
Story world – ★★★★★ The story world was amazing in this novel, specifically the Woods. It was haunting, but intelligent, making me feel like there was someone watching me as I read the book.
Style – ★★★★☆ Novik's writing style is perfect for fantasy, with the beautiful prose and detailed descriptions. I thought some of the descriptions were just a little long, but other than that, it was perfection.
Closing Thoughts – While reading this novel, you will realize that this is the fantasy book you have been waiting for. It is everything the genre needs.
Recommendation – Recommended for lovers of the medieval age, haunting magic, and intense battles.

In this paper analytical expressions are derived which describe the nature of the stress fluctuation induced in a member of a high speed mechanism. For design applications a harmonic analysis of the stress fluctuation is presented and the results are expressed in a non-dimensional form. For illustrative purposes, the analysis is centered on the coupler link of the well-known slider-crank mechanism.

Terry LeBlanc was headed home Sunday to pick out clothes he would wear at his mother�s funeral. Today, relatives, already grieving for his mother, are making funeral plans for him.
THIBODAUX -- Terry LeBlanc was headed home Sunday to pick out clothes he would wear at his mother�s funeral. Today, relatives, already grieving for his mother, are making funeral plans for him.
The 36-year-old Thibodaux mechanic was killed when the red 1990 Corvette he was riding in struck a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am head-on at around 6 p.m., on La. 308 near Percy Brown Road.
Memorial services for his mother, Shirley LeBlanc, who died Friday, were scheduled to begin this morning at St. Joseph Co-Cathedral.
"His family has had enough tragedy burying one person, now they are burying two people," a family friend, Sue Theriot, said. She described Terry LeBlanc as a "sentimental, down-to-earth person."
Police at the scene said the Corvette�s driver, Dean Price, 42, of Schriever, pulled onto the road�s shoulder during a downpour.
When he returned to the road, he moved left into the southbound lane, they said. Shortly thereafter, Price crossed the center line and struck a Grand-Am driven by 55-year-old Katherine LeBlanc of Thibodaux, troopers said.
Terry LeBlanc was pronounced dead at the scene by the Lafourche Parish Coroner�s Office. He was not wearing a seat belt, Troop C spokesman Gilbert Dardar said this morning.
It is unknown to police whether the two LeBlancs involved in the crash were related.
The wreck occurred along a two-lane stretch of road lined by oak trees and a narrow shoulder on each side.
Katherine LeBlanc, who was wearing a seat belt, sustained moderate injuries and was transported to Thibodaux Regional Medical Center, Leonard said. She is suspected of alcohol use, Dardar said, adding charges are pending until results return from the State Police Crime Lab.
Price voluntarily submitted to a breathalyzer test and passed it, Sgt. Troy Leonard of State Police said. Price declined to speak about the wreck or his friend.
Price could also face charges as a result of the crash, Dardar said, though that decision will come at a later date after the investigative report is completed.
The impact�s force turned the red Corvette�s engine into a jumble of mangled parts. The car�s hood lay on the wet pavement some 20 feet away.
The Grand-Am�s front turned inward, with the portion of the hood nearest to the passenger side sporting a warped upward appearance.
A handful of LeBlanc�s friends gathered a short distance from the spot where the two cars came to rest in the middle of the road.
Sue Theriot and her husband, Mark, drove from their St. Charles home after receiving a phone call about the wreck.
They both recalled his generosity and his ability to fix things with his hands. LeBlanc worked as a mechanic fixing tractors, cane cutters and cars, they said.
"You would see him at midnight at a store that was open 24 hours, and he�d be dirty because he had been working on something," Theriot�s husband said, adding he rarely saw LeBlanc wearing clean pants.
Theriot added she and LeBlanc grew up together.
"When you�re from St. Charles, you stay there," she said. "It�s kind of like a magnet; you don�t leave."
The crash scene also drew neighbors who came out of their houses to see the remnants of the violent sound they heard.
"It sounded like a thunderclap," Allen Ordoyne said, noting he knew it was a bad wreck right away. "No horn, no nothing, no brakes, no nothing."
Police did not cite speed as a factor in the crash. Ordoyne said the stretch of the La. 308 where the wreck happened had been fortunate not to have had more deaths, due to people�s disregard for the 55-mph speed limit.
"There have been numerous times where we�ve yelled at people to slow down," he said. "They think it�s a raceway right here."
