Don DeLillo Blogging the Election For the Onion: Definitely a Hoax
Sources as famously skeptical as the New Yorker have reported that the novelist Don DeLillo is blogging for the Onion as part of the satirical newspaper's 'War For the White House' election coverage. Could this possibly be true? The evidence, in part:
He speaks in your voice, American, and he's blogging right next to me, as I type my own blog, in this our blogging age. Our faces fixated with vigorous purpose on glowing rectangular screens, measured in centimeters. In the air, invisible information. Uploads, downloads. Waves and radiation. Surrounding us both, on every side of the lobby, dozens more do exactly the same, typing with their thumbs into tiny silver death machines.
This is the passage from which he's apparently pulled his online nom de guerre, 'Tiny Silver Death Machine.' Now, admittedly, DeLillo in the last decade or so has often read like his own best parodist—e.g. Cosmopolis. And it's unclear what's more demoralizing, what would be more depressing: the prospect of DeLillo actually writing that above first sentence, or the more general reality that that it's actually impossible to now tell whether or not any given ridiculous statement written even vaguely in the author's voice in fact came from creator of Underworld. But this is, uh, definitely a fraud.
There is a meet-and-greet with the guy from the Doobie Brothers...A voice from the subconscious: Toyota Corola [sic].

A different medal is awarded at each level of peril (Minion, Master, and Lord), as well as for solo versus party expeditions. Earn all six components to form the full Medal of Achievement for each island. See your medals at the Dock (along with an improved rating display) and Gatehouse (where you can set out on your next expedition).
As always, community input is welcome at the player forum!
Many Player-Prompted Improvements
We've been busy developing many gameplay and interface improvements to Island Forge, many prompted by input from beta players. Your feedback is most welcome and appreciated. We're inspired to have hundreds of registered players - and we're ready for hundreds more!
If you've tried Island Forge before, now is a fine time to have another look. Crafting, combat, healing, inventory, and a slew of other elements have been recently updated.
If you haven't tried Island Forge before, now is a fine time to check it out. Play free during Beta!
In addition to checking out all the latest gameplay improvements, try the Island Builder: Create islands and stories for others to explore! Player-created content is central to the world of Island Forge.
Island Forge Beta: Improved Story Editor
The last few Island Forge Beta updates have included several improvements (many prompted by playtester feedback - thanks for your input!). Story editing has been streamlined, allowing for more complex story composition.
Some really nice new islands have been created by beta players recently, so be sure to log in and check them out. Islands can be added and updated all the time, so there can always be somewhere new to explore.
If you haven't played before (or only tried once), come see what's new. The Mainland now features helpful quick start information to assist new players, and additional help is available in several places.
Join Beta today - We're still looking for more players and more islands!
Island Forge Beta: Improved Island Rating
Island Forge Beta: Island Building Enhancements
Island Forge Beta v0.9.6 includes a number of island builder improvements. The most visible change is the validation and publication process. The island builder gives you creative flexibility, but some rules must be enforced. The validation tool is now clearer, as is the publication process.
Islands must be separated into two parts: in-town and out-of-town. The island builder can now show you how the game computes reachability on your map, by highlighting the in-town, out-of-town, and unreachable tiles. Scenery can be switched off to inspect the terrain.
The scenery tiles in the island builder tool have been rearranged to be easier to find. A more intuitive navigability flag has been added to many of the scenery tiles, which allows characters to pass through, rather than barring passage, so long as the underlying terrain is navigable.
We're especially excited to include a new feature for story authors: You can now place invisible actors on any scenery tile. This allows you to effectively turn any scenery element (even ones that aren't otherwise navigable) into an interactive story actor. For example, a building, signpost, or cow can now become part of your storyline.
Island Forge: Create your own islands and stories for others to explore!
Island Forge Beta: Improved Failure Behavior
Island Forge Beta v0.9.5.11 improves client failure behavior.
The Island Forge client software is overall rather robust to failures, and can usually roll with the punches. In some cases, on the other hand, such as running out of memory with an OutOfMemoryError, it is really best to just give up.
Previously, certain error conditions were ignored with blind optimism. One prominent example is running out of memory when an island's map is being rendered. This can result in a mostly blank map littered with graphic artifacts. You could actually control your character and keep playing, but you could not tell where you were.
Now, if any such exceptional condition is encountered, the client should pop up a big friendly message explaining that it cannot continue. It will even take steps to cleanly log out out of the world and shut down. In most cases, you can just start again.
Hopefully such failures will be rare. One side-effect is that some conditions, which would previously have been safely ignored, could now force the client to shut down. Through testing, the new error handling logic can be adjusted to deal with various cases appropriately (sometimes forcing shutdown, while ignoring others).
When errors do rear their ugly head, they will now, at least, present a friendlier face, and die gracefully.
Island Forge Beta Update: Spiders are Back
In Island Forge Beta v0.9.5.8 (released last night), you'll find several tweaks, balances, and improvements, as well as spiders!
Giant spiders (one of the several menacing foes that prowl the darkness) have been absent since the beginning of Beta. Hint: Find them lurking especially where evergreen trees grow.
Weapon and equipment crafting has been streamlined. You may craft items at, below, or above your character's level. Always craft responsibly; equipping the highest possible level does not always provide the optimal balance for your character's abilities.
Expedition reward points are now apportioned on a different scale, making map exploration an essential aspect of earning experience.
Higher grade weaponry are now more worthwhile, due to weapon damage, shield blocking, and armor resistance bonus rolls, which deal and prevent more damage. But, higher ranked creatures have similar rolls, making them all the more powerful.
Sound interesting? Many of these improvements were prompted by beta player input. If you're registered for Island Forge (play FREE during beta), we thank you for your comments. If not, sign up today at islandforge.com!
Performance Improvements (Thanks to Players)
Our thanks go out to the intrepid beta players! More than one reported particularly poor performance when ambushed by several creatures. The details they provided about the behavior led us to a portion of code that was excessively repainting. The latest beta release (v0.9.5.7) should greatly improve rendering speed.
In addition, complaints (rather, constructive feedback) regarding some navigational glitches have prompted significant improvement to the way pathing is handled. Thanks again for the input.
Island Forge is still looking for more beta players, so if you're already signed up, consider bringing in some friends!

While university leaders welcomed the move as a realistic response to a crisis in university funding, the National Union of Students warned that fees would damage access to higher education for poorer would-be undergraduates.
The NUS president, Douglas Trainer, said: "We are totally opposed to any suggestion that students should pick up the bill for tuition. Once the principle of free tuition is breached, the door is open for universities to charge whatever they want for different courses and different colleges."
However, the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals welcomed the "bold decision" by David Blunkett, Secretary of State for Education, to accept that full-time undergraduates must pay after graduation towards the cost of teaching.
The CVCP chief executive, Diana Warwick, said: "This is a necessary step to maintain the quality of their teaching and learning experience and provide a basis for future expansion."
However, the committee called on the Government to slash 6.5 per cent cuts in higher education funding planned over the next two years to no more than 2 per cent.
The Association of Colleges, which represents the further education sector, warmly welcomed proposals to expand higher education partly by increasing the number of students taking diplomas and certificates.
But it suggested the committee had failed to "grasp the nettle" and impose even higher tuition fees on graduates in order to release more funds into the impoverished further education sector.
Industry leaders also gave as qualified welcome to the report. The Confederation of British Industry supported proposals to expand student numbers and underpin quality of qualifications, but questioned the government's decision to abolish student grants.
Higher education unions praised the report, but said urgent steps were needed to remedy the funding crisis.
The Association of University Teachers said all income from fees must be ring-fenced for spending on higher education. The government must ensure universities did not introduce their own top-up fees, the union said.

Life-Sized Transitions
Today is my birthday: I am 29 years old. This is the first day of the last year of my 20s. That feels pretty momentous.
Even more momentous: today is my first day working for myself.
Friday was my last day as designer for Muse and Cicada magazines, after almost two years of heart & soul engagement with my two publications. When I was hired on in early summer 2012, it was my dream job: I got to work with smart, hilarious, and deeply engaged people to create quality magazines for science & literary nerd kids. Be still, my heart! In my role as designer, I was responsible for everything from building raw files to hiring and art directing freelancers, collaborating with the editorial teams on pedagogical design philosophies and really excellent Beowulf jokes, overhauling and redesigning major features and making sure columns are aligned, project management and all manner of post-production work: every design step between receiving raw manuscripts and getting the magazine in the mail was in my purview. My husband has pointed out a tendency I have to say that I have made "nothing" the past two years, since my time to work on my books has taken a back seat to an increasingly consuming immersion with the magazines; it felt pretty wonderful to bring home and survey every issue I worked on to remember that oh yes, I've been pretty busy making things!
With the support, feedback, and collaborative course-correction from the Cicada team, we redesigned the magazine; this process included countless rounds of iterations until we found a successful reinterpretation of the masthead logo, updating the cover and back cover features, and including a connected interior front cover comic by the cover artist:
We also adapted the existing "spot artist" feature to highlight and promote emerging comic artists, including a printed interview:
As a part of this process, we also redesigned the basic body page templates of the magazine, including updating the fonts, adding more photos and larger design elements, and flowing some of the longer stories to the back to make room for extra features:
I also had the opportunity to do a lot of illustration work, especially for Muse. This was my first (and still one of my favorite) projects, in a story about how plants communicate to each other via chemical signals in root systems:
This included some really fun in-depth illustration projects, like the Muse census:
and a 4-page comic:
I think my favorite part of all was designing splashy introductions to some ridiculously fun stories. Vat meat! Zombies! Robot dinosaurs!
I learned so much in the two years working on Muse and Cicada. I feel humbled by the trust and support I was given in my time there, and grateful for how much richer my life is for the friends I made in my tenure on staff. I left for a healthy mix of personal and professional reasons; it was one of the harder decisions I've made in my adult life, but I'm confident it was the right one. Now is the time to take a big risk. I am re-investing in my own practice, diving in with a focus and freedom that I have never had before. Best birthday present a gal could ask for.

Imaging of the brain structure and function can help to elucidate different biological/clinical manifestations of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) The idea is to localize brain areas for classification of structural and functional disorders and, ultimately, for therapeutic intervention. While functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) are the best suited imaging modalities for the most of the functional brain studies, they have some inherent limitations, particularly in the case of low-functioning TBI or ASD subjects. Difficulties in fMRI data acquisition are mainly due to the non-friendly environment of the measurement system for the children with ASD and ADHD, because they are very sensitive to restrictions on movement. In this regard, patient-friendly NIRS can become an imaging modality of choice. NIRS and, in particular, functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging technology for noninvasive measurements of the local changes in cerebral hemodynamic levels associated with brain activity. Due to the low optical absorption of biological tissues at NIR wavelengths (=700-1000 nm), NIR light can penetrate deep enough to probe the outer layers of brain (i.e., cortex) up to 2-3 cm deep. The NIR absorption spectrum of the tissue is sensitive to changes in the concentration of major tissue chromophores, such as hemoglobin species. Therefore, measurements of temporal variations of backscattered light can capture functionally evoked changes in the outermost cortex, and, thus, can be used to assess the brain functioning. Compared to other well-established brain imaging modalities, such as fMRI and PET, this technique offers unique features, including higher temporal resolution of several milliseconds, and spectroscopic information about temporal variations of both components of hemoglobin Oxy-HbO and deOxy-Hb, while fMRI can assess only deoxy-hemoglobin (Hb) changes. Most importantly for pediatric applications, NIRS instruments are much smaller, less restraining compared to fMRI or PET and can tolerate subject motion to a larger extent that fMRI. These features make the technique appropriate to study children with such problems as ASD as well as TBI patients, when keeping the subjects still for long periods of time is extremely challenging. Due to neuro-vascular coupling local changes in oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin levels can serve as an indirect measure of brain activity. At first approximation, these levels are proportional to the intensity of the brain activity. We have used an action complexity judgment task with a varying degree of cognitive load to produce brain activation. Twenty healthy participants were asked to evaluate the complexity of previously normed daily life action (number of steps to achieve the task) and classify the number of steps as few or many. We used the linear relationship between changes in the oxy/deoxyhemoglobin change and activity complexity to map the activation on the cortex. The mapping was possible with a special registration between MRI anatomical image and the optical sensor. The parametric effect of complexity showed activation in the frontopolar cortex. In our experiments we have found that on average the activation area corresponded to an angle of =95 and =10. Though the localization of the activation may be less precise with fNIRS than fMRI (according to fMRI data, this activation area was located at an angle =93 and =11), the parametric analysis, linking cognitive load to cerebrovascular reactivity may reveal physiological data of greater clinical importance than just the location of the activated area. Our preliminary results, obtained for 2 TBI patients, show that such parametric studies, based on fNIRS, have the potential to become a discriminator of cognitive function in TBI patients. To probe changes in Oxy- and Deoxy-hemoglobin concentrations in the cortex that are caused by brain activity, related to chosen basic tasks, the data are collected at two wavelengths. To assess the brain activation in children of 4-8 years, we have used such tests as standard GO/NO-Go, developed to examine the effects of response inhibition and error processing. The NIRS signal is acquired, while children are performing the GO/NO-GO task. The NIRS sensor, placed on the childs forehead, covered Brodmann areas 9, 10 of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Initial results of fNIRS assessment of the hemodynamic changes in the cortex indicate that mean activation levels (based on changes in oxy-hemoglobin) obtained from left and right prefrontal cortex during both GO and NO-GO trials are much higher in the case of typical child, compared to that of ASD. This fact indicates the hypo-activation of prefrontal cortex in the ASD group. Studies of resting state and task-based functional connectivity aiming to identify brain regions similar in functional behavior have received increased attention over the past few years. Aside from healthy populations, different patient groups, including patients with ASD, TBI have been the subject of functional connectivity (FC) studies. These studies have identified different connectivity networks in patient groups compared to healthy population. Different imaging modalities have been employed to investigate the brains functional connectivity. We attempt to elucidate features of FC by studying both hemodynamic and neural responses of the brain using different modalities. We recorded hemodynamic activity during the Go/No-Go task from 11 right-handed subjects with probes placed bilaterally over prefrontal areas. Using the data, we presented a reliable detection of fast optical signal (FOS) concurrently with electroencephalogram (EEG) during a Go/No-Go task. According to NIRS the hemodynamic responses showed higher task-related activation (an increase/decrease in oxygenated/deoxygenated hemoglobin, respectively) in the right versus left hemisphere. We have conducted two studies of FC to identify brain regions that are similar in functional behavior. Our more precise and comprehensive presentation of brain FC was achieved by investigating Electroencephalography (EEG) data. We employed a new approach to trace the dynamic patterns of human brain task-based functional connectivity.The EEG signals of 5 healthy subjects were recorded while they performed an auditory oddball and a visual modified oddball tasks. To capture the dynamic patterns of functional connectivity during the execution of each task, EEG signals are segmented into duration that correspond to the temporal windows of previously well-studied event-related potentials (ERPs). For each task, the proposed approach was able to establish a unique sequence of dynamic pattern (observed in all 5 subjects) for brain functional connectivity. The early diagnostics of brain hematomas is known to be crucial for proper therapy and good prognosis. However, in many cases brain traumas occur in places, where imaging modalities, MRI and CT, are not easily accessible. For this reason, there is an urgent need for some portable tool to provide fast initial assessment of the brain injury. Some simplified NIR devices, based on comparison between region of interest (ROI) and contra-lateral side, may not detect the presence of symmetrical bilateral hematomas. Hematoma detector would be clinically viable, if it can provide proper diagnostics for all types of head hematoma. Motion artifacts present a major challenge for conventional NIR imaging, where random errors in the relative positions of the detectors and ROI contribute to measurement noise. We are in the process of patenting this methodology, and a company has already licensed it. We are in negotiation of a collaborative research agreement to bring the technology from bench to bedside.

Los Angeles has its share of flea markets and they are not for the faint or weary. Rose Bowl is largely considered the best for the major treasures and deals you can score there. But it's intense! Many people overlook Long Beach because it's a little bit of a drive out of LA and us Angelenos know that just a drive from downtown to the west side might as well be driving to Alaska. Regardless, Long Beach Antique Market is one of the best markets in the LA area. It has just as many treasures and deals as Rose Bowl, is a fraction of the size and touts a relaxed, cheery attitude that rewards bargain hunters with new friends.
I'll be setting up MoMu shop this Sunday with my friend Stephanie of the Etsy shop Rummage and Hollow. Since it is the 5th Sunday, it's the twice yearly special sale with extra vendors! Show up early and follow me on Instagram @modern_mumu for day of updates and location.

Sub-Internships in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
UCSF will only be accepting applications submitted on-line through the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Visiting Student Application Service (VSAS), available at http://www.aamc.org/programs/vsas/students/start.htm. If you are an international or Canadian student please contact the department for more information.
In addition to the online application, you will need to provide the Department with a letter of recommendation from a faculty member you have worked with during medical school.
We begin accepting applications for the 2010-2011 academic year on April 18, 2010. The tentative date we will begin accepting applications for the 2011-2012 academic year will be April 17, 2011
The objectives of the rotations are as follow:
1) Understand basic anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system
2) Be able to perform an orthopaedic history and physical examination
3) Diagnoses and differential diagnosis of common orthopaedic issues
4) Be an integral part of each team, providing the role of a sub-intern.
There are six different month-long sub-internships available for medical student rotators in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, available on a first-come-first-served basis with preference given to UCSF students. Students will rotate either at San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH) for four weeks or two, two week block rotations at the Parnassus Campus. The first four rotations are on at Parnassus campus. These rotations have sub-specialty focus including: Arthroplasty, Spine, Sports, and Hand. Students from all four rotations will participate in a call pool with San Francisco General Hospital Trauma (SFGH) call pool (q4-7). SFGH has a sub-specialty focus on trauma, but also provides exposure to arthroplasty, sports and spine. Lastly, a broad-based, general orthopaedic surgery rotation may be completed at Veterans Hospital, a VA hospital located at Fort Miley.
As a student on the service, you will be required to complete a 10-15-minute case presentation at the end of your rotation. Details of the presentation will be distributed to you once your application has been approved and scheduled for your rotation.

There is nothing better than listening to an Illini broadcast on the radio. Sometimes it gets very frustrating when you have to listen to the TV or another team radio crew call a game because it's usually one sided. Not with Brian. He's been great for Illinois fans everywhere. Brian is from the small town of Tolono in Illinois where he grew up rooting for the Illini. He now resides in Champaign. The play-by-play man replaced Jim Turpin starting the 2002 season.
Brian took the time to answer a few questions for Illiniboard.com and here's what he had to say:
Q: What do you enjoy most about your job?
A: My job is unique because I work for the University and get to be a part of the games, like the MSU and Wisconsin ones. Also I love being a part of the Border war games with Missouri and getting to go the United Center in Chicago.
Q: How tough is it to be fair when you're calling the games?
A: I root for the Illini, and that's fair. It's a very exciting job, getting to be a part of all this right now.
Q: What's it like to work with Steve Bardo?
A: Oh, it's great. I'm trying to concentrate on players' names and uniforms. For Steve it comes natural. I didn't play college basketball and Steve obviously did. He can see things that I don't and when he brings them up during the games it's great.
Q: How do you think Bruce Weber has done so far?
A: He's done a great job. He's had to overcome a lot of obstacles early in the season. It took awhile for his players to buy into his system. It was hard for the kids in the beginning; now that they know he can coach, they believe in him. He's also starting to get his rotation down with the players, which makes things a lot easier for the players.
Q: How do you think they will do in the Big Ten Tournament?
A: Kedric, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see an Illinois and Wisconsin final. However, the tournament is in Indiana this year so you can't count out Purdue and Indiana. They are playing really well right now and they are getting after it defensively.
Q: If the NCAA tournament started today, where do you think the Illini should be seeded?
A: Right now I could see them anywhere from a 5-7 seed, but a lot could change depending on how the Big Ten tournament goes.
Brian, thank you for taking time out of your schedule for this interview.
No problem. Thanks for asking.

Kate, The best way to insure what you want plotted is to send your drawing files separately and plot only from PLT files you created. I have had numerous problems with incorrect base sheets (xref'd) layers that were inadvertently turned on, architectural information that I did not want - etc. The only way I found to control my own output was not allow the architect or client to use my DWG files, but simply to create a PLT file (in HPGL/2) which is emailed directly to the printer. Another advantage to this is that you maintain the original records of the project on DWG format and the "original" is the PLT file that was used to create the record Blue Lines. This can be converted, but it is not an easy task. I highly recommend this method to protect your work from change and to assure that what you produce is just the way you want it to look. Finally, there are a few add-on's that make it easy for you to view PLT files in your web browser or by stand alone programs. Save the PLT file as a record of what you produced for final output - it not only contains the information you want, but has a file date which average users will find difficult to change in Windows 95 (if you are using this version of DOS). Granted, those who know something about DOS utilities will have not problem changing the date, but this is unethical and sneaky. Good luck, Dennis Wish PE |-----Original Message----- |From: Kathleen A.

Here it is, everyone, the last chapter! (sniff) This has been my longest story by far...over 75,000 words. The length of 'The Sound of Silence', 'Tears of a Soul', and 'Defying Death' combined! Thank you so much, everyone who has reviewed! The wonderful compliments make writing so worth it! :) Enjoy the final chapter, and stay tuned for a new snippet and my new story! ;)
Thranduil and Elrond were talking in the King's sitting room when the door suddenly burst open. Startled, they both stood and watched as Legolas ran into the room as if an orc was chasing him.
"Legolas!" Elrond exclaimed, about to ask why on earth he was running like that when he knew that his lungs couldn't handle it.
"I'm cured!" Legolas practically shouted. "The antidote finally worked!"
Thranduil's mouth opened, in shock, and he just stood there, as if unable to speak.
Elrond smiled, and grabbed the younger elf in a hug.
"Thank you," Legolas whispered, hugging him back.
Elrond smiled, blinking back tears of relief.
Legolas looked up at the elf who'd taken care of him for so many millennia and smiled back, before pulling away and looking at his father.
Thranduil shook his head, astonished. "Legolas!" he said, hugging his son tightly as words failed him.
"I'm cured, Ada," Legolas repeated. "Cured!"
Thranduil was speechless, and he pulled his son over to the couch where they sat down. "In every sense?" the King asked, pulling out of the hug to look his son over.
"In every sense," Legolas replied, happily.
Thranduil stared at his son, seeing the healthy elven glow in his skin, the brightness of his eyes. He was so relieved that he couldn't prevent the tears of joy that suddenly welled up. "Oh, ion-nin," he said. "Do you know what today is? Six months to the day that you were inflicted with the vanwacoi…"
Legolas' eyebrows shot up. If Raenwe's second poison had really existed, I would be dead right now…He was brought out of his shocked thoughts by his father's hand brushing hair behind his ear, and he smiled at his father and hugged him again, making Thranduil laugh as the tears escaped.
Aragorn walked down the hall, putting on his gloves. He was bundled up against the cold weather, and he wasn't quite paying attention as he rounded a corner.
"Estel!" Elladan exclaimed, stepping back when he was almost run down by his brother.
"Forgive me!" said Aragorn, falling into step with them. "I didn't see you."
"Apparently," said Elrohir, inwardly smirking at the human's heavy attire, while he and his twin were wearing far less layers. "Going outside?"
Aragorn nodded. "Ada told me that Legolas was looking for me, and that I would find him in the courtyard."
Elladan nodded. "He told us the same."
"I wonder why Legolas wants us to go outside," Elrohir said.
Aragorn shook his head. "We shall find out."
A few minutes later, they reached the door and stepped out, relieved to see that it had stopped snowing.
A sudden splat! sounded, and the twins laughed to see Aragorn with a pile of snow in his face.
"Legolas!" Aragorn shouted.
Following his voice, the three brothers watched as Legolas stepped out from behind a nearby tree. He was not bundled up in layers against the weather the way Aragorn was…rather; he was dressed like the twins.
"Legolas!" Aragorn exclaimed, wiping the snow from his face. "You will freeze! Why are you not dressed properly?"
"Because," said Legolas, smiling as he shaped a ball of snow in his gloved hands. "This is all that I need."
The others looked at him with puzzled expressions for a minute, before sudden realization set in.
When Legolas saw that they understood, he raised his ball of snow—with his 'bad' arm—and threw it at Aragorn again, who was so stunned over the elf's words that he didn't even try to dodge.
The human seemed to not even notice the freezing snow on his skin, as he gave an exclamation of shocked joy and stumbled forward through the newly fallen snow, wrapping his arms around his friend.
Legolas smiled, hugging Aragorn back. "Hannon le, mellon-nin," he said. "If it weren't for you, I would not be alive."
Aragorn couldn't talk past the lump in his throat, and before he had a chance to reply, they felt two more pairs of arms encircle them both as the twins joined their embrace.
Thranduil and Elrond watched from a window inside the palace, smiling at the sweet show of brotherly love. Their smiles changed to chuckles when the four suddenly started a snowball fight.
"Hannon le, Elrond," Thranduil said, clasping his old friend's shoulder. "Hannon le."
Elrond smiled back. "We love our children, Thranduil."
The elven-king nodded, watching the four 'children' play in the snow. "Aye, that we do."
(sniff) lol :) I can't believe it's over! Here's a preview for my next story, likely titled, 'In the Blink of an Eye':
Aragorn and the twins leaped from their horses, rushing to their friend with their mouths agape at the sight of four arrows protruding from his body.
"Legolas!" Aragorn cried, throwing himself to his knees and checking for a pulse. He found one, but it was very, very weak, beating much too fast as his heart tried to keep blood circulating through his body.
"Look at him!" Elladan cried, panicking at the amount of blood that covered their friend and the ground around him. The original color of Legolas' clothes was literally indiscernible. "Elrohir! Go fetch ada! Legolas will not survive the trip home!"
Elrohir found himself trembling, not wanting to leave his dying friend.
"He'll make it!" Aragorn said, his voice shaking. "It is only a few miles!"
"But he cannot be moved!" Elrohir exclaimed, seeing the arrow in their friend's chest.
Legolas suddenly made a soft sound.
"Make a litter!" said Aragorn. "Legolas? Are you awake? Open your eyes!"
The injured elf did, slightly, looking up blearily. His mouth formed Aragorn's name, but nothing came out.
"Hush," Aragorn said, glancing at his brothers as they constructed the litter with their cloaks and tree branches. "You'll be fine, mellon-nin, just hold on!"
Legolas said nothing, his body shivering as he slipped into shock.
"Do not remove the arrows!" Elladan suddenly exclaimed. "He has lost too much blood already!"
Aragorn knew that but said nothing, removing his own cloak and draping it over his friend. The arrows in Legolas' body served as a cruel barrier, so Aragorn took his knife and cut holes in the material, allowing the cloak to properly cover his friend.
The twins finished the litter quickly and laid it beside Legolas, who was slipping in and out of consciousness, his breathing very labored.
Carefully, the three brothers managed to lift their injured friend and place him on the litter. Each one's heart chilled at Legolas' pained cry.
"We are taking you home, Legolas," said Elrohir. "Our father will heal you and you will be fine!"
Legolas made no reply, unconscious once more.
Grabbing their horses, Elladan pulled them over and made his and Aragorn's kneel on either side of the litter.
Elrohir watched worriedly as his brothers mounted their steeds and grasped an end of the litter, holding it tightly as the horses stood.
"Mayhap you should go ahead," Elladan told him. "Tell father to be ready!"
Elrohir nodded, seeing wisdom in his brother's words. Riding forward, he gently touched their wounded friend's face, whispering a prayer before riding off.
Aragorn and Elladan followed at a slower pace, not wanting to jolt Legolas and make his bleeding worse.
"What in Middle Earth could have befallen him?!" Elladan exclaimed, anxiously.
"I do not know," said Aragorn. "But, Elladan, those are elvish arrows…Rivendell arrows…"
Elladan looked at Legolas, seeing with shock that his brother was right. "Someone from within Imladris has done this?!" he roared.
Aragorn sighed loudly, watching his friend's deathly pale face. He gave his brother no answer.
There's my preview! Are you shocked enough? LOL! (runs from readers) Don't forget to tell me what you thought of Race Against Time's ending! LOL :)

Beef is a particularly great documentary to watch because it goes on a 20
year timeline(1981-2001), It goes back to the Busy-Bee Starsky/Kool Moe Dee
days, through the East vs. West beef of '95-'96, all the way to the Mobb
Deep/Jay-Z beef in 2001(though the ground work was laid-out for this in 1998
as stated by Prodigy of Mobb Deep). Driven by the narrative of Ving
Rhames(Dawn Of The Dead, Baby Boy, Rosewood), the film is very insightful as
far as the progress of hip-hop and the rising of stakes in rap
A movie that lets one know that hip-hop is an artform no different from that of Leonardo DaVinci, etc. - The reference to dancehall music was hit dead on the nose because in Jamaica, usually at MX3 in Negril or places in Kingston, DJ entities usually clash to see who's the best in Jamaica these entities are called "sounds"
Beef is a great, in-depth look at the rap game to this point in time and this is first of many to come hopefully...

93 Fleetwood cooling system fault.
93 cadillac fleetwood, cooling fans not coming on fans do work as one comes on with the AC and if you disconnect the temp sender fans also come on. Temp sender replaced new radiator cap and change antifreeze still the same problem........ any suggestions appreciated, Thanks
10 Answers
did you try the fan switch? its usaully above the thermistat.
Yep its had a new temp switch but still the fans dont work just boils over when you turn off the car. runs fine when the AC is on as the fan runs but i dont want the AC on all of the time as live in England fuel just over $8 a gallon!!! ( £5 )
you change everything except the thermostat..also you might want to check the water pump for worn out blades..
it sounds like a bad wire somewhere. get an ohm meter and check for continnuity.your system is ether a true caddy or a caprice. im not sure which one you have. check everywhere related to the fan. by the way i didnt know cattalacs made it to england.
just ot make sure, is the thermisat new?
just to make sure, correction to my last post
I will check with ohm meter and see whats goin on...the heaters are working so i should think thermisstat and pump ok or no hot air?
it sounds like a plan. let us know what you find out. i thought gas was high in states, but i didnt know it was $8 a gallon over there. that does suck.
I've been doing this for 60 yrs and never seen corroded blades in water pump . but I suppose it could happen. you have beside a temp gauge a fan relay. Have you put straight Bat+ to the non black lead on fan? If straight batt doesn't run fan you need new motor/ you don't state how many miles are on vech.
On my 94 we discovered that the overflow hose was just hanging down. could not figure where it went because it showed the remnants of a clamp. The system was not holding pressure also. We plugged the hose and the hoses pressured up and the car no longer overheats. I hope this will be of some help.

Rasmus,18, batted .484 and led the state of Alabama with 24 home runs as a senior at Russell County (Ala.) High School, scoring 69 runs and driving in 66 in 39 games. In a workout before the draft at Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox, Rasmus was clocked at 94 mph throwing from centerfield. He also covers 60 yards in 6.7 seconds.
"Rasmus is an exciting outfielder," Jeff Luhnow, St. Louis' vice president of player procurement and the man heading up the draft effort, told MLB.com on Tuesday. "He's what scouts call a five-tool outfielder. He has a tremendously strong arm. He's a good fielder, plays center field and profiles at center field. He swings the bat well. He swings the bat with power. He runs well. There's really nothing this kid can't do."
The Cardinals' 6th pick, who went 78th overall in the 2nd round, Nick Webber, also appears close to signing. Webber told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he hoped to have a deal in place by Friday or Saturday.
Webber was the closer for the Mules and had a 1.06 ERA in 42-1/3 innings while striking out 45 and walking 12. He allowed only 20 hits while opponents hit only .139 against him. He has been told by the Cardinals that he will be converted to a starter and will begin his career at Johnson City.
"I don't have a lot of innings under me," Webber told the Post-Dispatch, "so they want me to start for now and then they'll take it from there."
According to Baseball America, Webber had one of the best fastballs in the draft. It sits at 91-94 mph and touches 96, and it stands out even more with its outstanding life. One observer said it had "Wiffle ball movement" last summer in the Cape Cod League. Webber's second pitch is a decent slider, which he commands well but lacks a sharp break.

The Guidebook introduces Participatory Action and Learning (PAL) as a way of addressing a
number of these issues by providing an approach for both Forest User Group (FUG) members and forestry field staff to learn together from the process. They jointly identify forest management issues, initiate actions to address those issues, monitor the results of the actions and the process
used, and then reflect upon the results to determine future actions. The approach to community forest management planning, if applied through the process being suggested in this Guidebook, can make a positive contribution to sustainable livelihoods, particularly through enhancing the natural capital of FUG members; social capital – particularly of poorest households; human capital through better forest management skills and to a certain extent financial capital through increased levels of FUG funds. Participatory Action Learning is therefore a critically important tool.
