Two Important Win8 Expiration Dates for January 2013
Thanks to Martin Brinkman over at ghacks.net, I was reminded of two important Windows 8 related expiration dates for this month. First, and probably foremost for most readers, the $40 to Windows 8 Pro upgrade offer expires on January 31, 2013. This is a great deal for machines with a valid Windows OS already installed, where you can exercise it directly from the PC you wish to upgrade on as many PCs as you like, all for the same charge. You can even download the upgrade and wait to install it after the deadline, if you like. One potential gotcha to be aware of: if you download the upgrade from a 32-bit Windows install, you'll get a 32-bit install image for Windows 8. Since most people will want to download and install the 64-bit version, no matter what version they're currently running, be sure to run your download from a 64-bit machine!
The other expiration date hits in mid-January — the 15th of the month to be precise — and it's for any and all of the Windows 8 Preview versions (Developer/Build 8102, Consumer/Build 8250, and Release/Build 8400). My guess is that if you grabbed any other builds through "alternate channels" (such as BitTorrent) they will also go bye-bye at the same time. Just for the record, a legit copy of Windows 8 shows a build version of 9200, so anything less than that number is probably subject to the turn-off by the middle of this month.

Set two years after the first film, Reed Richards and Sue Storm are preparing for their wedding. A silver object enters Earth's atmosphere, radiating cosmic energy that creates massive molecular fluctuations and causes deep craters at locations across the Earth. The government approaches Reed to build a sensor to track the movements of the object.
As the wedding begins (humorously, Stan Lee has a cameo where he attempts to enter the wedding), Reed's systems detect the phenomenon approaching New York City, causing a massive power blackout. The object destroys the sensors while the Fantastic Four protect the crowd. The Human Torch pursues the object, discovering that it is a humanoid, a "Silver Surfer." He confronts the Surfer, who drags Johnny into the upper atmosphere where the lack of oxygen and low air pressure snuffs his flame out, then drops him back toward Earth. Johnny manages to reactivate his powers and survives the fall. Later, when Sue tries to comfort Johnny, she touches his shoulders and their powers switch - he becomes invisible, and she is set on fire; when they touch again their powers revert back. Reed's examination of Johnny reveals that exposure to the Surfer has set Johnny's molecular structure in flux, allowing him to switch powers with his teammates through physical contact. Tracing the cosmic energy of the Surfer, Reed discovers that a series of planets the alien had visited before Earth have all been destroyed.
The Surfer has been creating a number of deep artificial craters around the globe. Reed determines that the next crater will appear in London, and the team travel there. They are just in time to avert the destruction of the London Eye by the effects of the Surfer's passing, and save its passengers, although the rescue is jeopardized when Johnny accidentally touches Reed and switches powers with him. The Surfer departs, and the Thames drains into the crater.
The Surfer's movements around the globe bring him past Latveria, where the cosmic energy affects Victor Von Doom, freeing him from two years as a metal statue. Doom, able to move again but scarred, traces the Surfer to the Arctic and makes him an offer to join forces. When the Surfer rebuffs him, Doom attacks. The Surfer returns fire, blasting Doom through the ice. The cosmic energy of the Surfer's blast heals Doom's body, reversing the changes seen in the first film.
Doom leverages his experience into a deal with the American military, who force the Fantastic Four to work with Doom. Deducing that the Surfer's board is the source of his power,from the pulse beginning that it, Reed develops a pulse generator that will separate him from it, while Victor, who was supposed to be helping Reed, is working on some other unknown remote-like machine. While setting up the device, Sue is confronted by the Surfer, during which he reveals he is merely a servant to the destroyer of worlds, and regrets the destruction he causes. The military opens fire on the Surfer, which distracts him and allows the four to fire the pulse, separating the Surfer from his board. The military imprisons the Surfer in Siberia and forbids the Fantastic Four from interacting with him, while they torture him for information. Sue uses her powers to sneak into his cell, where she learns more information from the Surfer. He tells her his master was known by the people of his world as Galactus, a massive cloud-like cosmic entity which must feed on life-bearing planets to survive, and that his board is a homing beacon which even now summons him to the planet.
Doom, pursuing the power in the board, steals it from the compound, using the device he secretly created earlier to gain control of the board and its powers. The Fantastic Four rescue the Surfer, and pursue Doom in the Fantasticar, confronting him in Shanghai. During the battle, Sue is mortally wounded. With the Surfer powerless, Johnny absorbs the combined powers of the entire team in order to battle the cosmic energy-empowered Doom. Johnny succeeds in breaking Doom's control over the Surfer's board, while Ben Grimm uses a nearby crane to knock Doom into the harbor where he is last seen sinking; however, Galactus has already arrived, and Sue dies in Reed's arms. The Surfer regains the control of his board, and his power is restored. He revives Sue and chooses to defend Earth, flying into Galactus and confronting him. The conflict results in a massive blast of energy, apparently destroying Galactus.
The film ends with the marriage of Reed and Sue in Japan, and the team's creation of their signature "4" in the sky with the Fantasticar. The credits cut back to a shot of the Silver Surfer's seemingly lifeless body floating through space. Just as he drifts off the edge of the screen his eyes open and his board races towards him.

- Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is a 2007 superhero film that is the sequel to the 2005 film Fantastic Four. Tim Story returned to direct Rise of the Silver Surfer with Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis, Chris Evans, Ioan Gruffudd, Julian McMahon and Kerry Washington reprising their roles. Doug Jones and Beau Garrett appear in the sequel as the Silver Surfer and Frankie Raye, respectively. It was released on June 15, 2007.
- Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, much like its prequel, wasn't well received by most fans and critics, scoring only a 37% at Rotten Tomatoes[2] and a 45% at Metacritic,[3] both reviewing movie sites.
- When Johnny absorbed the powers of his teammates, this may or may not have been a reference to another Fantastic Four character, the Super Skrull but is also something that has happened in the comics.

We thought that going back to a cartoon aesthetic made more sense for Aikonia, considering that was the look we gave it when it originally launched. We're hoping that the dramatic moments will pack a harder punch due to the harsher contrast between the bright, cartoony visuals and darker story. Posted on December 6th, 2018 at 02:00PM

Searching for Something #19: Seven Days in Tibet – Tibet
19: Seven Days in Tibet
18 July 2002
We've had a tiring, but incredible seven days experiencing Tibetan villages, monasteries, spectacular scenery, and of course Everest. It's been great to see the much-decreased Chinese influence outside of Lhasa, although this will change as soon as better roads and infrastructure are built to the more remote areas.
Monasteries Galore
Driving up towards the city of Shigatse, we could see the golden rooftops of the Panchen Lama's Tashilhunpo Monastery from many kilometers away. This is the largest functioning monastic institution in Tibet. The Panchen Lama's situation is yet another sad Tibetan tale.
Upon the death of the 10th Panchen Lama in 1995, the Dalai Lama identified a young boy with traits of the reincarnated Panchen Lama. He was immediately put under Chinese house arrest, and remains there to this day. The Chinese government chose a second boy (the son of Communist Party members) as the "true" Panchen Lama. He is currently in China being educated by Chinese advisors, groomed to take on a future leadership role in Tibet. But despite all this, the monastery is timeless and beautiful, like much else in Tibet.
My favorite chapel contains the 26 meter-tall statue of Maitreya, the Future Buddha. You pass through a dingy entry wall painted with murals into the dark main room that's lit only by candles. You peer around, trying to figure out what the heck you're supposed to be looking at, until eventually you look up and see the beautiful blue-haired Buddha image serenely gazing down at you. Maitreya is sculpted with 300 kg of gold and studded with precious stones. His eyes are fierce, but he has a serene expression and delightfully chubby cheeks.
The other major sight of Tashilhunpo Monastery is the main assembly hall. When we arrived, it was bustling with life with approximately 150 monks going through a quite bizarre ritual. They were divided into three groups. In each group, two lines of monks sat facing each other. In the front of the two lines, one solitary monk sat there being alternately berated, shoved, and hit by another monk standing up between the two seated lines. Every so often, the two lines would unite in a jeering cry directed at the seated monk. We're still not sure exactly what the deal is, but conjecture that the seated monk is being tempted by the others and he has to maintain his meditative cool. Anyway, it was exciting to watch and everyone (except the solitary seated monk) seemed to be having a great time, smiling and laughing their way through the ritual.
Each different monastery we visited had a distinctly different feel. In Sakya, a brutal bumpy drive off the main road, the Sakya Monastery looked like a forbidding fortress. Its main assembly hall was spectacular, with the walls lined by immense Buddhas. There is no electricity, so we peered through the darkness, trying to light up the images with a failing flashlight. It was deserted and we felt like explorers, making the first discovery of some ancient treasure trove. The other interesting chapel was Sakya's Protector Chapel. We couldn't persuade any of the monks to let us inside, but the outside door had a scary picture of the deity who decides if you are good or bad when you die. Above the doorway are hung dead stuffed bodies of various animals with vicious looks on their faces wolves, wild dogs, owls, eagles. Perhaps it was best that we couldn't go inside.
The last major monastery complex we visited was in Gyantse, which I think is my favorite Tibetan town. It's quite small with dirt roads running through, but is set in a spectacular setting surrounded by a rushing river and fields of golden barley flowers. Towering over the town are two hills one of which contains the walls of the monastery complex and the other the Gyantse Dzong (fort). Inside the monastery complex is a strange structure known as the Gyantse Kumbum. It is a circular chorten (stupa) building which rises up to six stories. Its 77 chapels are spread out over each floor and have exquisite murals and statues of deities and Buddhas in them. The roof rises into a gold coronet that shades 4 pairs of Buddha eyes that look out to the four directions. No one else was there when we were visiting, and it was extremely peaceful to wander through each chapel while admiring the view of Gyantse from the top of the Kumbum. Incidentally, "kumbum" means "10,000 images".
The Drive
All through these seven days, our home away from home has been a decrepit 18-year-old Land Cruiser that we're sharing with Andrew and Dani, students of Chinese in Beijing. We've spent 5-8 hours each day driving to reach the various destinations along the Friendship Highway that links Lhasa to Kathmandu.
The road is barely there a dirt track at best. Most of the ride is immensely bumpy, hot, and agonizingly dusty. And we had the slowest driver in the world. Every single vehicle except for horse-drawn wagons and tractors zoomed by us. But the scenery more than made up for the discomfort (or at least I say that now in retrospect). In the "lowlands" of 3,800 meters we could see golden barley fields stretching out to the horizon. We passed a beautiful turquoise lake that looked to be straight out of some Mediterranean land. As we climbed mountain passes higher and higher up towards Everest, the landscape became a stark moonscape. We were far above the tree line, so all we could see were dry mountain ranges chiseled out by the wind, some covered with tenuous lichen. Stark snow-covered peaks loom close and far as we drive along. The tops of many mountains are studded with ruined dzongs (forts), yet another remnant of the Chinese wars.
But it was all worth it as we headed towards Everest. We were somewhat nervous since we'd heard rumors of the road being washed out. When we reached the trouble spot, our jeep had to creep by a dirt cliff edge being worn away by a gushing river we made it with inches to spare. As we drove up towards Everest Base Camp, it started to snow and fog enveloped the entire area.
Base Camp itself is nothing special a couple of huge tents for sleeping and cooking. Right now it's deserted because it's too rainy for any of the "real" expeditions to climb, but for us, just existing in the 5,200 meter (17,000 feet) altitude was a feat in itself. We eagerly waited for the fog to clear, but never really got a good glimpse of Everest until the sun set and we could see her glowing white against the starscape. The next day, we woke at dawn to more disappointing mist. It was several hours later before we could finally view Everest (or "Qomolangma" as the locals call it) in her full glory. It was a beautiful day bright blue sky with wispy white clouds. All I can say is that it was an incredible sight to see the craggy north face where so many had died. It looked like just a hop and a skip away to the top. I climbed a small hill covered with prayer flags and sat and stared at the mountain for hours. That brief exertion left me nauseous and panting, but Josh, ambitious as always, set off for a strenuous and spectacular hike for the next higher base camp and the Everest glacier. I was just content to sit and stare in awe at the highest mountain in the world. Even though Everest couldn't care less about me, it feels like a truly significant experience to have seen her.
We're back in Lhasa now. Unfortunately, we're soon to leave the friendly Tibetans to venture back into China. We'll fly on to Xi'an and the Terracotta Stone Soldiers next.

Notes on the cars:
- Brabham BT23 [2] (Denis Hulme): Motor Racing Developments entry for Denny Hulme in 1967 and probably the car used by Jack Brabham for a few races in July and August after his usual car was sold to Mick Mooney. Then raced by Frank Gardner in September. Taken to the Tasman series for Denny Hulme after he had wrecked BT23-5 at Pukekohe. Then sold to Italy and a Scuderia Picchio Rosso entry in 1968, but only appeared once for Tino Brambilla in July, and once for Enzo Corti in October. Retained by Scuderia Picchio Rosso for Corti a full season in 1969 and again for Vittorio Brambilla at the start of 1970. Last seen in July 1970. Subsequent history unknown but a chassis was found in Switzerland in 2005 that was believed to be "ex-Brambilla". The frame does appear to be the one raced by Tino Brambilla in 1968, but it is said to have come from Antonio Bernardo, who claims to have bought it from Winkelmann Racing at the end of the 1967 season. This car is still being investigated in July 2019.
- McLaren M4A [M4A/2] (Piers Courage): Entered by John Coombes for Piers Courage in F2 in 1967. Crashed at Brands Hatch in August 1967 and believed to have been rebuilt on a new tub before its next race at Albi four weeks later, but Autosport makes no mention of a rebuild nor of it being a new car. Raced by Piers Courage in the 1968 Tasman series. Sold to Niel Allen and raced in Australian events in 1968 until Allen crashed heavily at Lakeside in July, reportedly requiring another new tub to be fabricated. Raced again by Allen in 1969, then to Pat Burke for drivers Len Goodwin 1970-71 and Warwick Brown 1971. Sold by Burke and Peter Malloy to Erol Richardson but bought back by Pat Burke around 1982. Restored by Molloy for Burke and retained until sold to John Hugenholtz. To David Coplowe (England) by 1994. Raced in the HSCC Historic Formula Racing Car Championship in 1995. Raced by Coplowe until 2010, and sold to Gareth Williams (Oxfordshire) in 2012.
- McLaren M4A [M4A/1] (Jim Palmer): Entered by Bruce McLaren Motor Racing for Bruce McLaren in F2 in 1967. Sold to Jim Palmer (NZ) 1968, then to Tony Osborne's Argo Racing in Australia July 1968, driven by Peter Macrow in 1968 and then Alfredo Costanzo from 1968 to 1971. To Ken Hastings mid-1971, who swapped the FVA for a Ford twin-cam for 1972, and the to John Sheppard August 1973. Fitted with a 1300cc Toyota Corolla engine by Geoff Kennett 1974. Later Tony Armstrong (Victoria, Australia) in November 1982 and rebuilt around 1985. At Christie's Melbourne auction 1990 where it was sold to Art Valdez (Torrance, CA). It remained in Valdez' collection for many years, until sold to a UK consortium in 2017.
- Brabham BT6 [FJ-9-63] (Bill Stone): Brabham Racing Organisation for Denny Hulme in Formula Junior in 1963. To Alec Mildren Racing, fitted with a 1500cc Ford twin cam engine and raced in Australian national racing by Frank Gardner in 1964. To Roly Levis in November 1964 for New Zealand racing in 1965 and 1966. Entered by Levis for Bill Stone in 1966/67 then sold to Stone who raced it again in 1967/68. Sold to Gerald 'Jiggs' Alexander in September 1968 and raced in the 1968/69 and 1969/70 seasons, after which Alexander stripped the car with the intention of restoring it. However, it remained in this state until 1999 when it was sold to Ian McDonald (Australia) who restored the car and ran it in Australian historic racing from 2001 onwards. Sold to Ed Holly (Sydney, NSW) in July 2006 and raced in the Tasman Revival series from 2006/07 to 2012/13. Sold to Mark Shaw (Edinburgh, Scotland) early 2017, and raced by him at Monterey and Watkins Glen later that year.
- Brabham BT10 [IC-6-64] (Don Macdonald): Having driven a late-season Brabham BT6 for Scuderia Veloce in 1964, Greg Cusack bought a new Brabham BT10 which carried the non-standard plate 'IC-6-64' and fitted it with a 1500cc Ford twin cam engine for ANF1½ in 1965. The car probably came via Brabham's Australian agent Alec Mildren Pty Ltd. Cusack retained this for the first few months of 1966 and then sold it to Don Macdonald for racing in New Zealand in 1967 and 1968. It then went to Wayne Murdoch for the 1968/69 season and he returned with the car for the 1970 Internationals but it was then described as a BT18. It was later converted for Formula Ford. Unknown until acquired by Richard Armstrong (New Zealand) as a rolling chassis in 1977, who planned to turn it into ahillclimb car with a Lotus-Ford twin-cam engine, but other commitments put paid to those plans. The car has remained in storage with Richard ever since, and, in 2017, his intention was to restore it to NZ National Formula specification.
- Brabham BT4 [IC-3-62] (Bryan Faloon): New to Bib Stillwell for the Australian Internationals in February 1963. Used by Stillwell to win the 1963 Australian Gold Star and then, having acquired the 2.7-litre engine from Jack Brabham's BT4, he won the Gold Star again in 1964. Sold to Bill Thomasen in New Zealand and used in NZ Gold Star in 1964/65 before it was sold to Ecurie Palm Court who ran it for Ian Green and John Riley in late-season 1964/65 races and in Australian Gold Star races in August 1965. To Robbie Francevic in time for the 1965/66 NZ season and then quickly sold again, this time to Syd Jensen. Jenson leased it to Jim Boyd for the 1967 Internationals and then sold it to Bryan Faloon in March 1967. Raced and crashed many times by Faloon before he joined the Rorstan team for 1969/70 and the BT4 was finally retired. Sold by Faloon's estate to David Manton in 1981, then to Richard Hook (Auckland, NZ), who restored the car to its original Tasman specification and used it in historic racing in 1990. Then through four other historic racers until bought by the Minshaw family in 2005. Raced by Jason Minshaw from 2005 onwards.
- Brabham BT2 ["FJ-13-62"] (Graham McRae): Believed to be the "interim" car raced by Denis Hulme at the Boxing Day Brands Hatch 1962. Probably FJ-1-63 but given by recent owners as 'FJ-13-62'. Raced by Roy James in Formula Junior 1963 then to Mike Lawlor 1964 and entered for John Miles in Formula 3. Entered by Speedwell Engineering for Miles in a couple of early 1965 races. To Ray Thackwell (New Zealand) and fitted with a 1500cc Ford twin cam for New Zealand racing in the 1965/66 season. To John Weston for 1966/67 and then to Graham McRae for 1967/68. McRae used the engine and gearbox in his late-1968 McRae twin cam, and may also have used the suspension and uprights. According to David McKinney, the BT2 was rebuilt by Jack Oakley, who fitted with a Ford pushrod engine and VW gearbox. Whether this car was raced by Oakley in 1969 remains unclear, as Oakley also acquired the McRae. The car was acquired by the Southward Museum around 1979 and was restored by John Rapley (Paraparumu) in 1987. The restored car used a new frame built by Peter Bruin, and the original frame remained with Rapley. Used by Rapley in historic events, starting at Manfeild in November 1987 where it was fitted with a 1500cc Ford pushrod engine. Remained in Rapley's hands until 2017, when the car was stolen. It was recovered in September 2018, but in the meantime the original frame had been passed back to the Southward Museum, who were building another car from it. How these two cars will coexist remains uncertain.
- Brabham BT16 [F2-9-65] (David Oxton): Silvio Moser's F2 car in 1965, entered by Martinelli-Sonvico Racing. Used briefly as a second car early 1966 then apparently to Ken Sager in New Zealand for 1966 and later to Dave Oxton 1967, Graham Watson 1969, Brian Faloon 1970 and Warren Elleray in 1971.
- Brabham BT23D [1] (Frank Gardner): The one-off BT23D was built for Alec Mildren Racing for Tasman racing and fitted with a 2.5-litre Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 V8. It debuted in Frank Gardner's hands at the Warwick Farm Gold Star race in Dec 1967 and was then raced by Garder in every race of the 1968 Tasman series. Kevin Bartlett took over the drive for the 1968 Australian Gold Star season and the 1969 Tasman series. It was then sold to Jim Abbott who acquired a 5-litre Traco Oldsmobile engine from Frank Matich and built what was claimed to be the first Formula 5000 in Australia. It was displayed at Abbott's Melbourne Racing Car Show and thereafter mainly used in hillclimbs. It was sold to Gavin Sala for the 1974 Victorian hillclimb season, and was then sold to Peter Neilsen, who had Gordon Dobie restore it to its original Alfa Romeo specification. Its racing career ended after the death of a later pilot, Chris Murphy, but the remains were acquired in 1985 by Paul Moxham who had it fully restored with its original Autodelta engines. It was advertised by oldtimeraustralia.com from 2011 to 2015, noting that it had been owned by the same person for 31 years.

We can help. You can overcome drug addiction and have a better life than you ever thought possible!
There are lots of drug and alcohol rehab centers possibilities to individuals living in the Thomasville region. It is important to recognize each of the varieties of treatment options that are available in Thomasville, AB., to be able to find the suitable rehab option for yourself or someone you care about. Selecting the proper alcohol and drug treatment facility in Thomasville is the most important element in the process of treating of drug abuse, addiction and alcoholism. This information will assist you to fully grasp your numerous rehabilitation choices allowing you to have the maximum chance of an effective end result.
Let's have a look at the many drug treatment facilities in Thomasville, Alabama choices that correlate with the circumstances of the person looking for treatment.
Inpatient drug treatment in Thomasville, AB. can be a rehab choice best in case you need health-related treatment during rehabilitation or individuals with considerable drug abuse histories. People will experience both mental and physical dependence to drugs even after a short period of time, so inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Thomasville is considered the most beneficial rehabilitation possibility in nearly all scenarios. Due to dependence and addiction, people will most likely not be able to make a full recovery using the minimal services made available from outpatient treatment programs in Thomasville, Alabama where alcohol and drugs are still easily available when they depart the outpatient center. In addition, individuals in treatment who receive outpatient treatment as opposed to inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Thomasville remain vulnerable to damaging influences and circumstances that might get in the way of their process of recovery. If an individual resides with an abusive partner or maintains relationships which involve drug abuse, any rehab activities in outpatient treatment will be in vain. For this reason in-patient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Thomasville, AB. will most certainly generate more fruitful outcomes which will prove long lasting contrary to an outpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation center where advantages are often very limited and acute.
In Thomasville there's both short-term and long-term inpatient drug rehabilitation. Short-term is a 30-day facility, while long-term inpatient alcohol and drug rehab in Thomasville, Alabama is significantly more extensive and treatment can last 90-120 days on average. It is deemed an ideal setting for clients as it is a secure drug-free environment where they can recover both mentally and physically without distraction. Preferably, people will continue within a long-term in-patient drug rehabilitation facility in Thomasville for the maximum stretch of time allowed, so that they can deal with anything which might cut across their abstinence after they depart rehab. Because of the fact that detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can require two to three weeks alone, the 3-6 months in long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehab in Thomasville will be time spent well and significantly more efficient than short-term facilities.
The most important component of all if you or someone you love has a drug abuse or addiction issue is to get it resolved right away, make calls and seek advice from skilled addiction specialists and get an evaluation and treatment options to ensure the biggest opportunity for a recovery.

Cisco Gives Convergence a Push
Since cable systems are starting to look more and more like computer networks, Cisco wants a bigger piece of the action. Last week, the giant networking company showed how badly it wants to play, ponying up nearly $7 billion to do it.
Cisco on Friday cut a deal to buy Scientific-Atlanta (S-A), one of the largest technology suppliers to the cable industry. S-A shareholders will collect $6.9 billion, or $43 per share, from San Jose, Calif.-based Cisco, which has long been a major player in computer networking, helping telecom and general businesses keep their PCs, servers and mainframes talking to each other.
Two forces drew Cisco into the cable-TV industry. First, the cable set-top is increasingly resembling a PC, morphing from a relatively dumb box used to change channels into small computers that integrate video-on-demand (VOD), hard drives for digital video recording, and even DVD burners.
At the same time, TV is pushing its way onto computer networks. Disney CEO Bob Iger rocked the industry when he allowed video iPod users to start downloading episodes of ABC's best product, Desperate Housewives and Lost. Telcos Verizon and SBC are building video systems based on the same protocols as the Internet. Just last week, NBC Universal agreed to sell Universal movies over World Media's peer-to-peer online service, and Warner Bros. teamed with AOL to offer old TV series.
Network executives see Internet video deals as a potential threat to their advertising business. Cable operators fret that consumers will be able to dump video service and watch HBO online.
Cisco executives see the world through a telecom prism. Delivering fat, live video through computer networks is a much bigger job than helping companies transmit e-mail, Web pages and phone traffic.
When it comes to building networks, says Cisco Senior VP Mike Volpi, "the bandwidth-dominant application—which clearly is video—often is the one that dictates how networks are built over the long term." And Cisco wants to be there not just with the right gear but with the expertise of handling the massive amounts of digital video cable that operators pump through their systems each moment. S-A offers the kind of expertise Cisco needs.
S-A has for decades been one of the two manufacturers dominating the market for cable equipment. Set-top boxes are the most visible part of that game, accounting for 60% of S-A's revenues.
The less visible part of Scientific-Atlanta's business—about 40% of sales—is the cable system itself, including the headend that takes video from satellites, and all the gear necessary for Internet traffic and phone calls.
In some ways, S-A is the opposite of Cisco. A cable system is a relatively closed network. Encryption has for years been a highly proprietary technology. Outside companies generally have difficulty designing new equipment that works on existing cable systems. That is why S-A executives take pride in that their expertise in "system integration".
But that's changing. Encryption systems that keep people from stealing cable are becoming more open. Operators are switching to the same Internet Protocol used for Web traffic, phone calls and, more important, telephone companies' own new video systems.
Cable is a promising but relatively small market for Cisco. The networking company generates $24 billion in annual sales. S-A generates about $1.3 billion. Cable operators spend about $10 billion on equipment each year. That's a fraction of the multibillion-dollar market for conventional computer-networking gear. Cisco CEO John Chambers notes that a single telephone company spends more each year than the entire cable industry.
So why is Cisco stepping up for this deal? Partly because it wants to be a player in every layer of the communications business. Chambers notes that the company already supplies operators with gear for Internet and telephone service, but not much for video.
"Video is emerging as a key element in the service provider 'quadruple-play' bundle encompassing consumer entertainment, communications and online services In fact, video may be the most critical element in this bundle for ensuring consumer differentiation and loyalty, or stickiness if you will, to service providers. The opportunity for Cisco is to dramatically reduce the complexity of converging data, voice, and video over IP in both a fixed and mobile environment, which is at the core of our expertise."

This weekend I recently had opportunity to travel to Elk River, Minnesota in order to investigate the work of artists in that part of the state. It's been building itself up over the years, most notably with the Arts Alliance gallery on Main Street.
They have over 600 members and now a space on Main Street in their historic downtown. They're hoping to mobilize their community for a Regional Arts Center across the street and just finished their impressive Arts in Harmony National Juried Show at the Sherburne County Government Center. I think they have a lot of potential, although the artists I spoke with there suggested more support and exposure of their work would be helpful. They offer classes, exhibit space and do consignments and training for semi-professional and professional artists. They've been at it since 1989 and were very friendly when I went to visit.
Elk River also boasts a nice independent bookstore, Where the Books Are that could definitely use more customers but it's densely packed with helpful owners. The current economic climate and e-publishing trends place this as a somewhat endangered site, in my opinion.
It's hard enough for small book sellers to compete with big chains but if Elk River loses this shop, which has been a part of the community for almost 10 years now, I think it would be a pity.
Their historic downtown has several relatively recent murals and sculpture around different parts of the city, in addition to some quaint and eclectic antique and vintage shops.
Elk River is also home to a number of Southeast Asian refugees and Asian Americans who are active and emerging in the arts and culture, and I hope we'll see more of their work soon.

Pet Tips
Dogs eating grass – Pet tip 18
Dogs eating grass? Some people will have never heard of this before as their dog has never exhibited this behaviour, but others may be wondering why their dog sometimes acts like a lawnmower. The reasons are not clearly known, but the current belief is that both healthy dogs and sick dogs will both indulge in grass-eating behaviour.
Dogs that have an upset or queasy stomach may go looking for something that will help them vomit. If you remember back to a time when you felt sick, vomiting can often relieve some of the uneasiness. Your pet will find that grass can be a useful tool to induce vomiting when they swallow it without chewing. The reason being that the long grass stalks will tickle the insides of their stomach, eliciting an automatic body response to get rid of this stomach irritation by vomiting. So a dog with an upset stomach may eat grass, then why would a healthy dog eat grass?
Oftentimes an owner will let their dog outside, and the dog will pull a mouthful of grass out of the ground, chew it well, and then swallow it. Some dogs may even eat a couple of mouthfuls of grass. The difference here may be that healthy dogs do not have the additional stomach irritation added on top of an already queasy stomach. Many will chew the grass well enough that it will not cause discomfort in tickling the stomach, and if they tend to devour it indiscriminately then the tickling may just not bother them. A dog that randomly eats grass may just eat grass because it likes the taste of it. This certainly may not look appealing to us, but look at what else dogs can find tasty: cat poop, dead animals and garbage. Your canine companion is certainly not picky about what it will eat, which could stem from the scavenging behaviour their wild dog ancestors needed to survive. This being said, your beautiful lush green lawn may just appear to be a gigantic salad bar to your dog. Remember, that even though you feed your dog mostly kibble, they are actually omnivores which means they need both greens and meat to get proper nutrition. Even though a good quality kibble provides a properly balanced meal, it may leave some dogs feeling like they are missing something or not getting enough greens and fiber. This is similar to some people who enjoy eating more greens, while others can only tolerate only a minimal amount of 'salad.'
This may be all very upsetting for you, the owner. If only your dog could tell you why it was eating grass – it would answer all of your questions. Alas, your dog will continue eating grass as it pleases, so what can you do to ensure that it does not harm your pet? The number one concern is to ensure that there are no chemicals, like pesticides or herbicides, on the grass upon which your dog is chowing down. This can poison your canine companion. A chemical free lawn is a lawn fit for dog grazing. If your pet seems healthy otherwise, it is likely that grass grazing will not start causing problems for your dog. If you are not sure if your pet is feeling unwell and notice that after eating grass it vomits, a visit to the veterinarian would be your best option. If it turns out that your pet has a gastrointestinal problem, it may be best to actively prevent them from eating grass even though they may want to. This will just act to further irritate their stomach and may worsen their condition. In these situations, your vet will collaborate with you to determine the best method of care and treatment for your beloved pet.
Whether your dog is eating grass because it has an upset stomach, just likes the taste of it, or it does this just because it's there, your awareness and interpretation of this behaviour based on your pet's previous history, is crucial to gathering a partial answer as to the reason why he/she is grazing the lawn. Chances are that you may never actually get a complete answer to this issue, and your pet's strange grass eating habits will remain one of life's greatest unsolved mysteries.

Loneliness is an unpleasant emotional response to isolation. One may feel anxious about a lack of connection or communication with other beings. Loneliness can even be felt when surrounded by other people. Many of us suffer from loneliness at one time or another, but we need to remember that we are never alone—God is with us always!

You've probably gotten invited to more than your share of Facebook events, and if you're like me, you tend to lose track of them fairly quickly. Either you RSVP that you can't make it, and when you change your mind, you can't find the event to save your life, or you did let the organizer know you'd be coming but promptly forgot until Facebook reminded you the day of the event.
With seemingly everyone using Facebook events to plan everything from baby showers to beauty pageants, I've thought there has to be a better way. So did the developers of Going, a menubar app that keeps track of all your Facebook events for you and even syncs up with Calendar. With the ability to RSVP, create events, and event post to Facebook, is there anything Going can't do?
Go, Go, Going!
You'll need to first sign in to Facebook via Going before you can get started. This is pretty obvious for a Facebook events manager, so get that out of the way. As soon as Going and Facebook are connected, all of your Facebook events will appear in the Going dropdown in the menubar.
There's only basic information in the upcoming events list view. You'll get the title of the event, along with the date, time, and location. You can also see your RSVP denoted as a check for going, a question mark for tentative, or an X if you don't plan to attend. There won't be a mark next to it at all if you haven't responded yet. You won't get any more information than that without digging further, but it's a nice snapshot of what you've got coming up.
To find out anything more about a particular event, click on it, and it will open up in the Going window. Same as on Facebook, you'll see who the organizer is, who's invited, and any information posted about the event. You can also RSVP in this view.
Clicking on anyone's name will open their Facebook profile in your default browser, especially handy if you need to contact the organizers or any fellow attendees privately or just want to make friends before the big day. If you click on the location, a Google map will open in a new browser window, and if you click the date, Going lets you toggle whether the event syncs to Calendar.
Going also comes complete with all of the normal Facebook event accoutrements, such as the wall. This, the event info, and a list of attendees are all accessible from the left sidebar. Just click any of those links to bring up the view you want. Within the event in Going, you can not only comment and reply to others, but the application also provides the ubiquitous "like" button, maintaining the seamless Facebook experience.
If you want to see more about a past event, that's easy enough in Going, too. Back in the upcoming events list view, click the left arrow at the top. That takes you to your previous events. It doesn't go back in time indefinitely, and it only seemed to hang on to events I'd replied to. Still, it's great to have those events so close at hand, whether you want to connect with someone you met or want to use a previous Facebook event as the foundation for your next.
Creating an Event
Beyond managing your events, you can also create new events in Going. To get started, just type the event title in the text field above your events. A new event window will open up, and you can start plugging in all of your information. Besides the date and location, you can also add a description for the event and even upload an event picture.
Going also allows you to create your guest list right in the app. Just start typing your friends' names, and Going will do the rest. You can also browse through your friends and check all the invitees off. Once you've got everyone invited and all the event info squared away, click the Create Event button. That makes your event real on Facebook and sends out your invitations.
Really Great Stuff
Not only are all the events you've already sent a confirmation to listed in the main Going view, but so are all the events you haven't responded to yet, the events you said you might attend, and even the events you've declined. I was really pleased to see my declined events so easily accessible in Going, as they can be difficult to find on Facebook. If your situation changes and you want to attend an event after all, if can be hard to change that negative RSVP. Going makes it easy to see all of your events and update your RSVP if necessary.
Going also makes it really straightforward to add events to Calendar. There are other ways to go about this, such as creating subscription calendars based on your Facebook events, but it's not incredibly simple. Going's application preferences allow you to automatically sync events to Calendar as you RSVP, and you can even choose the default calendar to use. If you don't want events synced automatically, you can toggle whether they show up in Calendar inside each event.
I love the utility of Facebook events; it's a quick way to connect a lot of people, great when you're trying to organize an event, big or small. However, I've never found Facebook events very easy to manage or participate in without going out of my way to keep an eye on them. Going, however, collects all of my events into one place, so I don't spend half an hour playing hide and seek on Facebook with my best friend's crafting party or the neighborhood walkathon.
Going is easy to use and a lot better looking that Facebook. More than that, it's uncluttered and simple. With Going I can keep track of all of my events in one place and easily sync them with Calendar. Going fills a hole I didn't know was empty and does it so well, it's hard to imagine what I did before.

Hair loss, also known as "alopecia", occurs because the chemotherapy treatment affects the rapidly dividing cells in the hair follicle. As a result, patients will lose most of their body hair. Areas affected will likely include the scalp, face, chest, arms, legs and pubic area.
Hair loss may be a difficult side effect to adjust to. It is a temporary side effect, with some exceptions. Hair loss usually begins several days to a few weeks after chemotherapy has started. At this time, most people notice a few more strands of hair on their pillow than usual. Once hair loss has begun, it will continue in a steady process. Similarly, when regrowth begins, new hair will appear at a gradual, steady rate. Hair should begin to grow back several weeks to a few months after chemotherapy has ended. It is quite common for the new hair to be a different colour and texture.
^ Top
Because hair loss is a gradual process, some people decide to cut their hair short or shave their head if they find the loose strands a nuisance. Shampooing, brushing or combing will usually increase the rate of hair loss.
Although hair loss can't be prevented, there are many options to consider. Many people find that a stretchy cloth cap, scarves, baseball cap, hat, or wig can be helpful during the period of hair loss. Some people arrange to purchase these items prior to coming to the hospital so they will be available when needed. Information about financial support for the purchase of a wig is available from the Canadian Cancer Society. Not everyone chooses to cover temporary baldness. Whatever you choose, it's important that you decide what feels right for you.

Townhall-style Democracy + Myspace = Wis.dm
Hey dudes, you know what's a totally sweet system of governance? Democracy! No, seriously! Now I know this is going to cause some waves, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it: I think democracy is definitely maybe, kind of ,sort of, possibly the bestest system of governance, ever. Now if only there were some way to incorporate said bestest system of governance ever into a social networking platform. Wha?! There's already such a site, you say?
Wis.dm combines all the best parts of a two-party electoral system with the ever-popular social networking format. Essentially, it's a site in which users post 'yes' or 'no' questions, and others vote on said questions. The social networking arises from said voting. You add friends and gauge compatibility, based on the percentage of questions you answer similarly. Questions can fall into pretty much any category--according to the site's front page, the two most popular posts of the moment are: "Have you ever missed someone so much that you fell into depression?" (68 percent yes) and "Do you own a George Foreman grill?" (70 percent yes) The third most popular? "Are nachos basically awesome?" (76 percent yes)
My first question with the site, "Do you like sweet, sweet delicious cookies, in all of their sweet and delicious, sweetly delicious sweet deliciousness?" current has a whopping 100 percent of users answering "yes." As I said before, democracy works. My second question, "Is sweetness radder than awesomeness?" has currently polarized voters, with a 50/50 split down the center. There's sure to be much heated debate in the ensuing months and weeks over this hot button topic. This is the kind of issue major party presidential candidates wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.
It's a bizarre concept to base a site around, especially in light of the relatively disinterested reception of sites like Yahoo! Answers, but still, Wis.dm certainly has the addictive factor going for it, and as such already has a fairly active community. My first question re: cookies, had five answers, in a manner of minutes.
We spoke with Wis.dm CEO, Martin Clifford, who told us that the key to the site is its simplicity. Both asking and answering questions on the site takes a few seconds, and generally little thought, making it a quick and easy to get a consensus on an issue, unlike the model put forth by sites like Yahoo! Answers. If you feel the need to justify your stance, the site offers a comment section, where you can expand upon your point of view at length. One user posted an one such comment re: my cookie question, stating, "you rock. =)" Yeah, like I didn't know that already. There are some things in life that we don't even need to vote on to know the answer.

Read more about the changes in the new timetable for each province.
An Intercity every 10 minutes
The transfer and departure times are changing for almost all stations between Den Helder/Enkhuizen and Heerlen/Maastricht
More Intercity's in the early morning and the evening
In the early morning and in the evening, 4 Intercity's will run between Amsterdam Centraal/Schiphol Airport and Eindhoven/Nijmegen roughly every quarter hour, with transfer options at Utrecht Centraal. In order to make this possible, the Intercity Enkhuizen - Eindhoven will run to and from Maastricht instead of Heerlen and the departure times between Hoorn and Eindhoven will differ from those used during the day.
From Monday to Friday this quarter hour service will run for longer from Utrecht Centraal to Eindhoven (until 23.10 departure), to Nijmegen (until 22.54 departure) and to Schiphol Airport (until 21.25 departure) and from Schiphol Airport to Utrecht Centraal (until 22.18 departure). After that, a half-hourly service will take over. On Sunday, the quarter hour service from Eindhoven to Utrecht Centraal will run for an extra hour (until 22.03 departure).
On Sunday, the direct Intercity Schiphol Airport - Utrecht Centraal - Nijmegen in both directions will start 2 hours earlier (first departure 8.58 from Nijmegen and 10.00 from Schiphol Airport) and will run for one hour longer to Schiphol Airport (until 21.28 departure from Nijmegen). In this way, the quarter hour service between Schiphol Airport and Utrecht Centraal and between Utrecht Centraal and Nijmegen will be provided for longer.
Changed transfer times
- In Roermond, the transfer time from the Intercity from Eindhoven onto the Arriva train to Venlo will be 3 minutes longer. From Venlo to Eindhoven the additional transfer time will be 5 minutes.
- In Sittard, the transfer time from the Intercity from Eindhoven onto the Arriva train to Maastricht will be 4 minutes longer. From Maastricht to Eindhoven the transfer time will be 3 minutes shorter. The transfer from the Arriva train from Roermond on to the Intercity to Heerlen will be 12 minutes shorter and 10 minutes shorter in the other direction.
- In Heerlen, the transfer from the Intercity from Eindhoven onto the DB train to Herzogenrath and onto the Arriva train to Kerkrade will be 15 minutes shorter in both directions. The connections of Intercity's from Eindhoven with the Arriva regional train and the Arriva express train to Maastricht will change. The connection to the regional train will take 4 to 5 minutes longer, and the connection to the express train will be 5 to 18 minutes shorter.
1 Intercity per hour in the evening and early in the morning
In the evening and early in the morning, there will be 1 Intercity per hour on the route Sittard - Heerlen rather than 2. However, several of these trains will be running to and from Eindhoven.
Changes to connections in Eindhoven
Almost all departure and transfer times at Eindhoven station will change:
- In Eindhoven, the Sprinter from Weert will have a better connection in both directions with the Intercity to Venlo (23 minutes shorter to Venlo and 22 minutes shorter to Weert) and the Intercity to Utrecht Centraal (8 minutes shorter). This Sprinter will have a less optimal connection in both directions with the Intercity to Den Haag Centraal (7 minutes longer to Den Haag Centraal, 4 minutes longer to Weert).
- The Intercity from Maastricht will have a better connection in both directions with the Intercity to Den Haag Centraal (4 minutes shorter to Den Haag Centraal, 5 minutes shorter to Maastricht).
- The Intercity from Heerlen will have a less optimal connection in both directions with the Intercity to Den Haag Centraal (18 minutes longer to Den Haag Centraal and 14 minutes longer to Heerlen). Passengers from Heerlen will be able to get to their destination faster by taking the Arriva regional train and transferring to the Intercity from Maastricht in Sittard.
- The Sprinter from 's-Hertogenbosch will have better connections in both directions with the Intercity to Maastricht and the Intercity to Heerlen. The connection to Maastricht will be 6 minutes shorter (3 minutes shorter in the other direction) and the connection to Heerlen will be 15 minutes shorter (11 minutes shorter in the other direction).

Remember that one year...awhile back...when you couldn't get away from Slenderman? It was Slenderman this...and Slenderman that. Now you can buy Slenderman costumes at Party City. It was one of those monsters that became so goddamn popular...despite never having it's own movie. Well...now Slenderman is about to have his own movie. And there's even a trailer.
So...yeah. Slender Man. First things first. I wonder why they went and separated the two words. "Slender" and "Man". It's weird to me. I dunno. Makes me think that Slendy is some kind of superhero...out to rid the world of...well...kids. The second thing that I wanted to bring up...is how come it took so long to get a movie out featuring this super popular monster thing? Especially since the source material basically writes itself. I read somewhere that it was some weird rights thing...and nobody could figure out who owned the property. Oh, well....who knows? Looks like they finally sorted that one out...by simply separating the two words.
Anyway. Here's the trailer. Check it out...and let's discuss...yeah?
I gotta say...this actually kind of freaked me out a little. Not like in a "OH MY GOD THIS IS FUCKING SCARY" kinda way...but, more in a subtly disturbing kind of way. I get that same vibe that I got when I first saw that trailer for The Ring...all those years back. I do like the whole premise...in the way that the kids are under this Slendy dude's influence and committing all these crazy dark things. The scalpel to the face in the middle of science class thing, in particular...hit the right notes for me. ALSO (!)...Javier Botet is playing the titular role...so, that's kind of awesome. If you know who Javier Botet is...then, I love you long time.
I dunno, man...I'm getting a good feeling about this horror film. Especially since that great HBO documentary just happened not too long ago. I feel like it's finally time for a proper Slenderman film...yeah? Are you guys on board? I suppose we'll all find out if we're ready when Slender Man hits multiplexes everywhere on May 18th. No word yet if this will be a PG-13 snooze fest...or a potent R rated film. But...I did just compare this trailer to The Ring...which was PG-13...so, what the hell do I know? Anyway...keep watching horror!
Thanks for reading,

Manhandling of media persons by Tejaswi's bodyguards 'unfortunate': JD(U)
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi [India], July 13 (ANI): A day after Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswi Yadav's security personnel manhandled media persons, the Janata Dal (United) on Thursday dubbed the incident as unfortunate and said one should maintain calm in handling such situations. "At such moment one has to restraint oneself and control anger. Such disputes between the media persons and political leaders are unfortunate," JD(U) leader K.C. Tyagi told ANI. The security personnel of Tejaswi on Wednesday manhandled media persons outside the Bihar Secretariat in Patna. An ANI reporter, Rahul Singh, was amongst one of the media persons who were pushed aside. The incident took place when Tejaswi was interacting with media after a cabinet meeting, held by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, of all MPs, MLAs and other office bearers and leaders of the state to discuss the political situation in the wake of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raids on alliance partner Lalu Prasad Yadav and family. While trying to keep the media away, Tejaswi 's bodyguard manhandled some media persons present there.(ANI)

text: There is a minor usability issue that I want to suggest. I know most of you may not think it's a big deal, but sometimes even minor issues can be problems sometimes. I was taught in web design that it is usually good practice to also include a text hyperlink whenever there is an emblem hyperlink. This is because not everyone who comes here is a regular user of this site. The first time users may not know the emblem can get them out of chat and the user might think that they would have to re-enter the homepage to leave chat. I know this is minor but, it just simply looks better to also include a text hyper-link just in case.

Advertising agency Core Media, in conjunction with the Association of Advertisers in Ireland (AAI), has been pushing the Department of Finance to include a 25pc tax credit for incremental advertising in the upcoming Budget in an effort to return the sector to growth.
Core Media chief executive Alan Cox said that advertising spend in Ireland slumped 41pc to €910m last year compared to 2007, with the ad spend per capita now 22pc lower than the European average.
He cited a report produced by Deloitte last year for Independent News & Media, RTE, Core Media and Google, which said that for every €1 spent on advertising here, €5.70 is generated for the Irish economy.
The report maintains that the cost to the economy of the reduced ad spend during the downturn is €17.1bn, with €3.6bn of that having been lost last year alone.
"It's a very strong case, there's no ambiguity and the figures speak for themselves," said Mr Cox.
He said that he and AAI chief Barry Dooley have already held talks with Department of Finance officials regarding the tax incentive plan, and that further data is due to be submitted shortly.
Mr Cox said the cost to the Exchequer would be €23.4m over a two-year period. The incentive would only be available for advertising spend over and above 2014 levels.
"Advertising spend has been cut disproportionately," he said. "It's a variable cost that people look to cut and has an impact on the companies themselves and also the economy."
The Deloitte study found that a 1pc increase in advertising results in gross domestic product per capita rising by 0.062pc. It arrived at the figure as an average across 18 countries over 15 years.
It argued that in Ireland's case it's more appropriate to apply the figure to gross national product (GNP) rather than GDP. Assuming a 10pc increase in ad spending from a 25pc tax credit, the return on investment in the Irish economy would be €1.02bn.
Mr Cox that a recovery in advertising spend typically lags an economic recovery by three years.
He added that once the two-year tax credit expires, the sector should be supported by increased momentum within the economy.
The advertising industry in Ireland employs about 7,000 people directly, while the Deloitte report last year reckoned there's a total of 30,000 employed directly or indirectly by the sector here.
Mr Cox said that the direct employment level within the industry has returned to pre-recession levels.
But he said that's because ad and media companies have had to employ more people to work on more labour-intensive digital advertising platforms, despite the overall ad spend having declined.

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly series hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming book releases we can't wait to get our hands on.
This week's Waiting on Wednesday pick is one that just showed up on our radar thanks to a lot of GoodReads buzz: Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones.

Keep reading to check out the official synopsis or head to S Jae-Jones' newsletter to learn more about the gorgeous cover!
Beware the goblin men and the wares they sell.
All her life, nineteen-year-old Liesl has heard tales of the beautiful, mysterious Goblin King. He is the Lord of Mischief, the Ruler Underground, and the muse around which her music is composed. Yet, as Liesl helps shoulder the burden of running her family's inn, her dreams of composition and childish fancies about the Goblin King must be set aside in favor of more practical concerns.
But when her sister Käthe is taken by the goblins, Liesl journeys to their realm to rescue her sister and return her to the world above. The Goblin King agrees to let Käthe go—for a price. The life of a maiden must be given to the land, in accordance with the old laws. A life for a life, he says. Without sacrifice, nothing good can grow. Without death, there can be no rebirth. In exchange for her sister's freedom, Liesl offers her hand in marriage to the Goblin King. He accepts.
Down in the Underground, Liesl discovers that the Goblin King still inspires her—musically, physically, emotionally. Yet even as her talent blossoms, Liesl's life is slowly fading away, the price she paid for becoming the Goblin King's bride. As the two of them grow closer, they must learn just what it is they are each willing to sacrifice: her life, her music, or the end of the world.
