|Reviews for The Return of the Riders
| Sauron Gorthaur chapter 15 . 2/25/2011
Here's Part 2 of my review.
I said above that you have a strong plot. You do, but it is weakened by the fact that you move way too fast through it. Towards the end (after Amber and Elle are captured by Arilia on their way to the Varden) you don't have as much of a problem with this, but everything that happens before seems incredibly rushed. Amber finds Elle's egg and Elle hatches and grows up in less than two chapters compared to Paolini's "Eragon" where it isn't until Chapter 8 that Saphira becomes mature. I know you are going off of the movie here, but I think one of the biggest problems with the movie is that it moves too fast and doesn't allow believable amounts of time to pass. Amber and Elle hardly receive any training from Eragon and Saphira before they are off on a mission of their own and are fighting enemy riders. Christal and Anora receive even less training than Amber, but they somehow are still good enough fighters to defeat the bad Riders and dragons at the end, something even Eragon and Saphira fail to do. The part with Amber and Arya in Uru'baen is very short, as is Amber and Elle's captivity in Chapter 22. You have no word limits here, no reason to make everything happen so fast. It's OK to give your characters some downtime, a breather or two.
Look at Paolini's books. Sure, there's lots of fights and battles and excitement, but there's a whole lot of resting, admiring the scenery, and training too. Eragon and Saphira don't become great fighters in two days or two months. Let some time elapse for your story, too. Instead of fighting and defeating Ra'zac on their second day of Rider training, let them train for two months. You don't have to show all the details, but let some time elapse, so that it's believable that Amber and Elle could work together and be good fighters. Same with Christal's training. Take time to develop parts like Amber and Arya's escape from Uru'baen – tell the reader more about what Amber is thinking. I also think you could have developed Amber's flashbacks about being a Shade a LOT more. She stays a Shade for a very brief time, and other than her guilt about Brom, it doesn't seem to have impacted her much. All your episodes are like this – rushed through and brief, as if you are overly eager to get to the next adventure. Take the time to develop each separate adventure, instead of feeling like you have to get on to the next thing. Give more descriptions of places also – you have very little of this, and although that may seem like the boring part, it is essential for your readers to be able to "see" where your story is taking place. Good description can really make the story come alive.
I said above that characters can always be further developed. You have begun the process of creating believable characters and have begun it well, but I don't feel that it's finished yet. You have spent lots of time fleshing out Amber and Elle, but your other main character, Christal, feels flat. Remember what I said about Amber having flaws as well as strengths? Well, I don't feel that Christal has any flaws, and she doesn't have specific strengths the way Amber does. You have the little quirk with her getting her dragon's name wrong, but you don't develop that any further. Does she have trouble remembering names, maybe? How could this become an important flaw in her character? Or a strength? Her grief for Friciey does not seem to last – for losing the most important person in her life, she gets over it very quickly and hardly mentions Friciey once she has Anora. Compare this to Brom, who is still grieved by his Saphira's death years later, and Galbatorix, who goes insane from his dragon's death. Even though she was a main character, I didn't feel like I got to know her well, the way I did with Amber and Elle.
For the canonical characters, the one that need the most work is Arya. She did not seem to be the same strong, stubborn, and often hot-tempered character that is in the Inheritance books. Yes, she is doing a good job of being a "big sister" to Amber, but she seems to be all big sister in your story and has lost much of her fierce warrior and noble elf-lady side. She acts far too casually. For example in Chapter 17, there's this sentence: "Amber!" Arya cried, throwing her arms around me." This does not seem like the way Paolini's Arya would act. For this, the best thing you can do is re-read some of the prominent Arya sections in the Inheritance books. Study how she talks and behaves, then when you are writing her, think about whether or not each action and each line is something Paolini's Arya would do or say.
Writing Style:
With the way you have written the story, particularly the dialogue, you have fallen into a trap that I see a lot of fanfiction writers succumb to – the dialogue sounds like it could have been copied from a conversation in a high school hallway. It sounds REALLY modern. Granted, the Inheritance books sometimes sound a little too modern as well, but I often couldn't believe your dialogue was medieval/fantasy dialogue at all. This does not mean you should have them all talking like "Greetings, fair friend, and how art thou today?" as that is equally bad, but "Hey, what's up?" (which you use in a few places) does not fit the setting. What you need is a happy medium, something that doesn't sound pseudo-medieval, but doesn't sound like modern high school girls chatting either. Something like "Hello, how are you this morning?" is neither overly medieval or overly modern. Modern-sounding words that you should avoid are things like "Yeah", "OK" (which you use a LOT), or "Sure". Again, re-read passages of dialogue from the Inheritance books. See what sort of words the characters do and don't use. As I said, the Inheritance books aren't the best example for fantastic fantasy dialogue, but since you are writing an Inheritance story, go off of how they talk. And I can guarantee you won't find Eragon saying "Hey, what's up" to Saphira.
I know you are able to do it. Arilia and Brom's Saphira talk in a more sophisticated, elegant way, much more fitting for the medieval setting. This is also one of the main problems with your Arya. I said above that she is too casual. That's because she talks in this modern way with Amber a lot, not the way an elf-princess, and particularly Arya who speaks quite elegantly in the books, should sound. Again, this is a common problem with fantasy fanfiction writers, and unfortunately, the only way to fix it is to read lots of good fantasy dialogue and to practice it in your writing.
This last section of constructive criticism may be a little nit-picky, but it's important for making a good readable story. I don't know how much the fanfiction website is responsible for, because it can be rather aggravating in this area, but most of your story is formatted poorly without any breaks between the paragraphs. This made it very hard to read because it was difficult to tell where new paragraphs began and it was hard to keep my place. Chapter 20 through the end were fine – they were formatted in traditional web format, with breaks between the block paragraphs. If you could format the whole story that way that would be great, as I imagine the poor formatting is turning a lot of readers off.
So, there you are, and I hope some or all of this advice is helpful and that you are not discouraged by my constructive criticism. This is one of the largest scale works I have read on fanfiction, and I'm guessing many hours of well-spent time went into making it. However, I don't think it's quite done yet. If you have any questions about anything I have said in this review or if you want further detail, please feel free to PM me, and I'll try to get back to you as promptly as I can. I would love to see you take this work as far as you can, and I would be happy to help out in any way I can.
The best of luck for both this book and your sequel. Good work and keep on writing! May your sword stay sharp!
-Sauron Gorthaur
| Sauron Gorthaur chapter 16 . 2/25/2011
Hello there,
I do apologize for the long amount of time that it took me to read through your story. I recognize that this is an immense piece of work that you have obviously spent a great deal of time on, and I have tried to spend the large amount of time reading and reviewing it that it deserves. There is a lot of constructive criticism in my review - this is by no means because you have a bad story and I did not enjoy it. I am offering you my constructive criticism with the hope that you can make this epic work even better. However, I will start with your strong points and the things I liked about The Return of the Riders.
First off, I must congratulate you for persevering all the way through this story and finishing it. That in itself is an epic achievement. I am always disappointed by how many stories on fanfiction are abandoned half-way through. The very fact that you have a complete, and quite lengthy, work here shows that you are a great writer. I hope that you are continuing to write the sequel with the same perseverance. (And you might want to consider posting individual chapters on fanfiction as you write them, rather than posting it all at once when you finish it. That way you'll get more feedback, and you'll get feedback while you're still writing it.) And I hope that perhaps someday you might consider writing original fiction novels that one day you might be able to publish.
Strengths of The Return of the Riders:
You have a whole host of characters, both canonical and original, in this story, and all of them have vivid, differing, and interesting personalities and character traits. Of all the characters, I think your original characters (OCs) were the best done, and of your OCs, your best characters were Amber, Ellestygia (who for the purposes of this review I am going to call Elle if that's OK), and Arilia.
Amber was a well-developed character (although characters can always be developed more, but I'll talk more about that in the constructive criticism section). You did a good job of not making her a Mary Sue - she has faults and flaws, as well as strengths, like any good character should. She doesn't always trust her friends, is rash (rather like her brother), and sometimes over-curious, but she's also loyal, cares deeply about those she loves, and is keen-minded. In other words, she's a whole mix of things that create a believable character. Her curse was a particularly intriguing thing for you to throw in, and I liked it very much. A hero always needs to have some weakness or vulnerability to make him or her believable, and the curse provided that weakness. It was also an interesting idea, and Amber's dual reaction to it, both her fear and hatred of it and her longing for it because it allows her to see Brom, made her a deeper, three-dimensional character. Her feeling of guilt over Brom's death that you developed throughout the story also made her a deeper character. You probably know that in any story, however long, there needs to be change in the main character. Amber did indeed change throughout the course of the story. Not only does she come to conquer her feelings of guilt about Brom's death, but she matures, going from having to be rescued by Eragon and Saphira in the first chapter, to killing Arilia and being a hero in the end.
Then there's Elle. I think Elle is your best OC, and I can tell that you had a good time writing her, just as I think Christopher Paolini did when writing Saphira. Elle is definitely a dragon - she shares a lot of characteristics with Saphira - but she's also quite unique and separate from Saphira or any of Paolini's other dragon creations. I liked her playful sense of humor - it was less sarcastic and more mischievous than Saphira's. This playful mischievousness was in Chapter 23 when Elle pays back Amber for putting her into a magical sleep and in Chapter 21 when Elle offers Amber help at making a fire. She also is wise in a very dragonish way. I really liked her line about Marie in Chapter 24 "brave in words, but weak at heart." This sounded like a very dragonish line, and it particularly had Elle's mischievousness in it.
It is a fact that having a great villain is an important part of any good story. Arilia is a good villain - at least, she's very good at being evil. Although she was very much a Durza-prototype, you still managed to bring out her characteristics of cruelty and cunning in different ways. And as Durza's sister, it would make sense that she is similar in demeanor and attitude to him, so it did not bother me all that much that she was almost identical to him. As I said under the part about Amber, the curse was a very interesting idea, and it gave them a neat sort of connection. It was similar to Eragon's scar and Durza, but it was different enough to be interesting. I think the best Arilia scene was in Chapter 22 when Arilia captured Amber and Elle. The way she taunts Amber with lines like "I beg to differ, you see, I have taken your sword and your dragon can't help, and can you even remember one word in the ancient language?" and "You want to test me? I like challenges, so let the pain begin." showed her character really well. She speaks more elegantly than many of the other characters, in a smooth and sinister way. Like Durza, she obviously enjoys taunting and baiting her victims, which you play with very well, like in Chapter 22. Overall, she was a good villain, and I always enjoyed reading the scenes she showed up in.
Canonical Characters:
Although the canonical Inheritance characters did not play a large part in your story, you still did a fine job with portraying Murtagh and Saphira in particular. You got Murtagh just right – he's bitter, rather arrogant, but not altogether evil. The scene outside of the Varden's entrance with the fight between Amber and Murtagh showed his character particularly well, especially when he mocks Amber with reminding her that Brom is dead. You also did a good job with the difficult character of Saphira. You did a good job of expanding her character, showing what she is like as a teacher, not just a student, as you did with Eragon. Both of them retain their original characters, but it was cool how you showed them mature a step as they are the ones who have to teach Amber and Elle. Their protectiveness towards Amber and Elle, while still getting into trouble sometimes themselves, was both true to their characters and showed the expansion of their characters.
You have a strong plot and you obviously know quite a bit about the world you are writing in, although it was sometimes confusing when you switched between book-reality and movie-reality. You have some very neat ideas in the story, like Arilia's curse and the whole idea of the silver dragons replacing a fallen dragon. The story is also quite exciting with the fights between various Riders and dragons, with Amber rescuing Anora's egg from Uru'baen, and with the battle at the end. Friciey's death came as a surprise to me, and Akarclio with its ice powers was neat and a nice contrast to Brisingr's fire powers. The idea of Amber having been a Shade was also a really cool idea, although I think you could have done more with that idea.
Overall, I can tell you worked hard on this, and you have a fine work to show for it. You should be proud of it. Good work! However, now I will give you my tips for improving it.
Constructive Criticism:
As I said above, my goal for this constructive criticism is to give you tips for improvement. Clearly, it is your story, and this is merely advice, but I would recommend that you at least consider deeply what follows. Having written a book myself, I know how uncomfortable it can be to be told the weaknesses of your own story, but I hope that by pointing out the weakness in Return of the Riders, I can help you make it even better.
Ellestygia, Galbatorix, Islanzadi, Amber: which one of these is not like the other? If you said Amber, you're right. Every time I saw Amber's name I imagined a girl with a blonde ponytail dressed in modern clothes with make-up and fingernail polish - not exactly the image I believe you want you readers to have, right? Names are one of the most important parts of a character - if you don't get them right, the character will have lots of trouble coming to life, and I'm not sure you got your heroine's name right. I also had lots of trouble taking Zoey seriously. I know re-naming a main character is a big deal, but you might want to consider doing it. You are very capable of making names that fit in Alagaesia: Arilia, Felvera, Ellestygia - these are all great names that fit right in. Yes, Paolini does use a few modern names, like Katrina and Angela, but these are old fashioned and uncommon names. I had no problem with your Marie for that reason, but Amber and Zoey just sound too much like fashionable modern girls.
If you consider re-naming anyone, here's some options to consider. Paolini uses a lot of Norse names, like Horst, Brom, Hrothgar, and he also uses some Irish names, like Murtagh. Look up lists of Norse or Irish names and you'll find plenty of names that will fit in a lot better than Amber and Zoey. You also might consider re-naming Tabascco, which I could not take seriously either, although I understand the reasoning behind the name. It just doesn't fit in with the other elvish names well at all.
| Sauron Gorthaur chapter 1 . 11/15/2010
One question about the prologue - for the summery of "Eragon", why did you partly use the book and partly use the movie? For those differences, like Brom's death, are you using the movie version for your book? I was just a bit confused about that when you switched back and forth between events in the book and events in the movie.
It may take me a while, but I'm working my way through your book, and I'll submit a full review for it when I get to the end. Until then:
Keep on writing and may your sword stay sharp!

Woman's Quotes (displaying: 1 - 10 of 12469 quotes )
Woma?s role in creation should be parallel to her role in life. I do?t mean the good earth. I mean the bad earth too, the demon, the instincts, the storms of nature. Tragedies, conflicts, mysteries are personal. Man fabricated a detachment which became fatal. Woman must not fabricate. She must descend into the real womb and expose its secrets and its labyrinths. She must describe it as the city of Fez, with its Arabian Nights gentleness, tranquility and mystery. She must describe the voracious moods, the desires, the worlds contained in each cell of it. For the womb has dreams. It is not as simple as the good earth. I believe at times that man created art out of fear of exploring woman. I believe woman stuttered about herself out of fear of what she had to say. She covered herself with taboos and veils. Man invented a woman to suit his needs. He disposed of her by identifying her with nature and then paraded his contemptuous domination of nature. But woman is not nature only.She is the mermaid with her fish-tail dipped in the unconscious.
When a destitute mother starts earning an income, her dreams of success invariably center around her children. A woman's second priority is the household. She wants to buy utensils, build a stronger roof, or find a bed for herself and her family. A man has an entirely different set of priorities. When a destitute father earns extra income, he focuses more attention on himself. Thus money entering a household through a woman brings more benefits to the family as a whole.
Women's lib, Frannie had decided, was nothing more nor less than an outgrowth of the technological society. Women were at the mercy of their bodies. They were smaller. They tended to be weaker. A man couldn't get with child, but a woman could---every four-year-old knows it. And a pregnant woman is a vulnerable human being. Civilization had provided an umbrella of sanity that both sexes could stand beneath.
When I tried to remember her voice saying, 'Don't worry,' I found I had no memory for sounds. I couldn't imitate her voice. I couldn't even caricature it: when I tried to remember it, it was anonymous - just any woman's voice. The process of forgetting her had set in. We should keep gramophone records as we keep photographs.

Sir Richard King 1st Baronet
1730-1806. Born on 10 August 1730 at Gosport, he was the third but sole surviving son of Curtis King, a sailing master and master-attendant at Deptford, and of his wife Mary, sister to Commodore Curtis Barnett.
In 1738 he entered the service aboard the Portsmouth guardship Berwick 70, Captain Peter Solgard, on which vessel his father was the sailing-master, and he then served with his uncle, Commodore Curtis Barnett, in the Mediterranean aboard the Dragon 60, in the Channel aboard the Prince Frederick 70 from 1742, and in the East Indies aboard the Deptford 50 and Harwich 50 from 1744. On 1 February 1746, three months before his uncle's death, he was promoted lieutenant, and he returned to England from the East Indies at the cessation of hostilities in 1748.
After a period of unemployment he went out to the East Indies in 1754 aboard the Tiger 60, Captain Thomas Latham, and after moving to Rear-Admiral Charles Watson's flagship, the Kent 64, Captain Henry Speke, he was promoted commander of the Kingfisher 10 on 23 July 1756.. He subsequently captained the fireship Blaze, and he joined the boats of the squadron as a volunteer in the landing party at the capture of Calcutta and Hoogly in 1757. The Blaze having been decommissioned, King returned to England with Rear-Admiral Charles Watson's despatches on board the sloop Pilot, enduring a desperate voyage around the Cape and reaching England after a five-month journey. Somewhat surprisingly he was not immediately posted captain, being appointed instead to the sloop Bonetta 14 in January 1758, and going out to the Leeward Islands in April. Here on 29 January 1759 he was posted captain of the frigate Rye 20.
He returned home escorting a convoy in January 1760, having transferred in the previous spring to the Ludlow Castle 44, and was appointed to the Argo 28, cruising off France and in the North Sea, and taking the privateer Duc de Biron 20 on 11 June 1761. After the declaration of war by Spain he returned to the East Indies, departing in February 1762 and giving passage to Colonel William Draper who would lead the land forces in an expedition against Manila. Here on 31 October the Argo joined the Panther 60, Captain Hyde Parker, in the capture of the rich galleon Santisima Trinidad, earning the captains alone approximately 30,000 guineas in prize money. After transferring to the Grafton 68 King returned to England in the following year in company with the Lenox 74, Captain Robert Jocelyn, and the captured galleon.
Thereafter Captain King remained unemployed until December 1770 when he recommissioned the Northumberland 70 during the Spanish dispute. He was shortly afterwards appointed to the new Ardent 64, but instead in March 1771 commissioned the new Asia 64, which remained at Portsmouth for three years as a guardship.
In January 1778 he was appointed to the Monmouth 64, moving to the Pallas 36 shortly afterwards and going out to Newfoundland in May. Having participated in the occupation of St. Pierre and Miquelon under the orders of Commodore John Evans he exchanged with Captain Thomas Davy into the Europe 64 and returned to England where he briefly served under the orders of Vice-Admiral Lord Shuldham at Plymouth.
In January 1779 he was appointed to the Exeter 64 which went out to the East Indies in March with Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Hughes' force, and he was soon ordered to fly his broad pennant as commodore and second-in-command with Henry Reynolds acting as his flag-captain. At the battle of Sadras on 17 February 1782 the Exeter was overpowered by three Frenchmen at the rear of the English line and left with no masts standing, whilst also suffering the heavy casualties of ten men killed and forty-five wounded. When Captain Reynolds was killed at his side King found himself soaked blood and brains, but nevertheless when his sailing master asked 'what is to be done?' he replied 'nothing is to be done but to fight her until she sinks.' A fortunate change in wind allowed the van to come back and assist him, and after two hours the brave Exeter was saved.
With Captain Charles Hughes acting as his flag-captain King remained in the East Indies to fight at the Battles of Providien on 12 April 1782, Negapatam on 6 July 1782 and Trincomale on 3 September 1782. In the latter action the Exeter again suffered heavy punishment, and such was his her damage that on the way home to England after the end of hostilities she was inspected and condemned at the Cape. Meanwhile the commodore had shifted his broad pennant to the Hero 74, with Charles Hughes as his flag captain being replaced by Henry Newcome from September 1782 and then Theophilus Jones in the following year. At the final battle with the French, that of Cuddalore on 20 June 1783, King had a speaking-trumpet shot out of his hand.
On 2 June 1784 Commodore King was knighted, having reached England from the East Indies in the previous month with the first division of Hughes's fleet. He was promoted rear-admiral on 24 September 1787, and from 1790-1 was commander-in-chief in the Downs with his flag in the Dictator 64, Captain Richard Rodney Bligh. He was thereafter employed in the Russian armament of 1791 under Vice-Admiral Lord Hood with his flag aboard the Saint George 98, Captain John Samuel Smith, before serving as a junior admiral at Spithead with his flag in the St. George, Captain Thomas Hicks. On 18 July 1792 he was created a baronet, and he went out to Newfoundland as lieutenant-governor and commander-in-chief with his flag in Assistance 50 Captain John Samuel Smith, returning home that winter. Having been promoted vice-admiral on 1 February 1794 he went out to Newfoundland again in the spring aboard the newly commissioned Stately 64 with the same officer.
King returned to England at the end of 1793 and after becoming M.P. for Rochester in the Admiralty interest he was appointed commander-in-chief at Plymouth in December 1794 with his flag in the Cambridge 80, Captain Richard Boger, a position he retained until 1799. He remained as MP for Rochester until 1802.
On 1 June 1795 he was promoted admiral and he died on 7 November 1806.
Admiral King married Susannah Margaret Coker of Mappowder, Dorset on 30 November 1769 and had three daughters in addition to Vice-Admiral Sir Richard King and another son, Robert, who died in 1793. His youngest daughter, Elizabeth, married Admiral Sir Charles Rowley. His London address was Devonshire Place, Marylebone, his country address was Bellevue, Kent.
As well as being exceedingly wealthy, King was apparently a kind, good-hearted man. A supporter of William Pitt in Parliament, he spent over £5,000 on two electoral campaigns, losing the first at Rochester in the by-election of 1792 but being elected unopposed in 1794.

Special Features
- Gorgon Video trailers (Faces of Death Series, The Strange & the Gruesome, Beyond Bizarre)
- Faces of Death: Fact of Fiction
- The Worst of Faces of Death
Faces of Death IV
Gorgon Video presents the fourth entry in the cult-classic Faces of Death series. Continuing with the same type of material explored in the first three volumes, Faces of Death IV features even more gruesome scenes of death and carnage designed to leave audiences wonder if what they've just witnessed is real or staged. Among the images included in the disturbing clips are an attack by a vicious man-eating tiger, a body being cremated, a man being drawn and quartered by horses, an electrocution, and footage from a Columbian wedding that ended in a bloodbath. This program is intended for an adult audience. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi
Faces of Death
Experience the ultimate in cinematic shock and horror as Dr. Francis Gross (Michael Carr) leads viewers on a guided exploration of that fateful moment when the spark of life is brutally snuffed out. Everybody dies -- it's the fate we all face from the moment we're born. There's simply no escape from the encroaching darkness, and in this film we're offered a firsthand glimpse at the many ways that life can end. From airplane crashes to railway disasters, some of us meet a spectacular end while others fall prey to hungry wildlife predators, an assassin's bullet, or - as in the case of some condemned prisoners - get strapped into the electric chair and blasted into the afterlife with over 2000 volts of pure electricity. With Dr. Gross as our guide, we bear witness to death in its many forms -- even visiting a debauched death cult that mixes the ecstasy of sex with the sweet release of that final moment. Horrific glimpses of animal slaughter reveal the cruelty man can unleash upon creatures lower on the food-chain, and authentic autopsy footage indulges our morbid curiosities about our final stop on the way to the grave. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Faces of Death III
From MPI Home Video comes Faces of Death III, a collection of allegedly real scenes of death and horror. Produced by Gorgon Video, the 90-minute program features graphic footage of car wrecks, crocodile and dog attacks, torture, rape, and murder. Composed of clips from such locations as Germany and El Salvador, this release was preceded by Faces of Death and Faces of Death II, and was followed by Faces of Death IV. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Here attached is a simple solution. 1) It transforms rendered object to a coordinate system, that is paraller with screen pixels. 2) It renders the filter. 3) It transforms filtered object back to original coordinate system. This includes two bitmap transformations -> not good for image quality. Especially, as these are implemented with nearest neighbour sampling. Still, this should not affect images that were rendered correctly with original method.

RICSAssociate Director of RICS Land Group
Fiona is an Associate Director of RICS Land Group with primary responsibility for the Rural Professional Group. Fiona graduated from Trinity College in Dublin with a BSc in Management. She subsequently qualified as a management accountant in the oil and gas industry in London and spent her final years as an accountant in the financial services sector. Planning a change of career Fiona completed post graduate studies in Co-operative Organisation, Food Marketing and Rural Development, subjects which were more aligned to her interests. Fiona works very closely with the Rural Professional Group Board and has been instrumental in the development of a suite of guidance for rural members on a number of subjects, most recently on agricultural stocktaking valuations. She has also taken the lead on other key initiatives for rural members, in particular on the development of the RICS National Rural Conference.
Fiona Mannix, 06 Jan 2017
The Secretary of State has announced that £120 million will be made available for the next round of the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) grant scheme at the Oxford Farming Conference. The funding will support farmers, grow businesses, and generate thousands of jobs in rural communities.
Fiona Mannix, 16 Nov 2016
John Lockhart FRICS recently represented RICS at a meeting of the Forestry Commission's Applicants Focus Group. This meeting focussed on the set up of the Woodland Carbon Fund which will allow millions more trees to be planted across England; helping to meet future carbon targets.
Fiona Mannix, 13 Jun 2016
We've created a brochure highlighting some of the initiatives across RICS with a specific rural dimension. You will be able to see the breadth of activity we are working on to increase the profile of our members in the rural sector and engage further with us. Active engagement of our professionals is critical for the profession's continued success in a rapidly changing world.

Per the 1992 amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act, tribal governments were able to create and operate Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO) programs by officially entering into agreements with the National Park Service on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior. Among other tasks, THPOs may assume the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) responsibilities on tribal lands and also receive funds for this purpose from the Historic Preservation Fund, also administered by the National Park Service. In the first year of THPO funding in Fiscal Year 1996, 12 tribes received a total of $958,500 for an average of about $80,000 each.
Click here to see the growth of the THPO program.
Historic Preservation Fund
The Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) was created by the 1966 National Historic Preservation Act and is supported by annual revenues from Outer Continental Shelf oil leases and assists states, local governments, and Indian tribes with their historic preservation activities nationwide. The HPF is administered by the National Park Service that is located within the Interior Department. The Interior Department receives its federal appropriations via the House and Senate subcommittees on Interior, Environment and Related Agencies.
Current Year of Federal Appropriations on Capitol Hill (FY2017):
In February 2016 President Obama submitted his federal budget request to the U.S. Congress. In late May the House passed its Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations levels and in June 2016 the Senate passed its version.

Conditions this week are even worse for a snow event, so we're regretfully cancelling for the second time. Please check this website for updates later.
Winter Frolic postponed till March 4!!!
Due to insufficient snow cover and soft ground, Winter Frolic has been postponed for one week. We don't want a mud frolic!
Please check details of our previous post to see time and events.
Winter Frolic coming up!
We will be holding our Winter Frolic on Saturday, February 25, 2017, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (storm date March 4)
There will be horse-drawn sleigh rides, hot chocolate, cider, a wiener and marshmallow roast, a blacksmithing demo, and a snow hill.
Bring your sleds, toboggans, & skis! We have plenty of space in our wide open country location, with a close-up view of North Mountain on one side, and South Mountain in the far-off other side.
This is an event for all ages.
New This Year: Fat Bike demo! and Snowshoe Demo! by a representative of Valley Stove and Cycle. Also snow painting for the younger kids.
As usual, admission is by a freewill donation.
Blacksmithing workshop November 5 and 6, 2016
Two men came to the first blacksmithing workshop held at NFHC, one of them from over two hours away. Instructor Carmen Legge taught the various aspects of this trade from theory through practice. Using NFHC's forge, the participants learned how to bend and shape metal for various uses, and how to make simple tools for farm or household use. Below are photos of the event.
Anyone interested in a future workshop on blacksmithing, please contact email@example.com Attendance is limited to two or three people at a time to ensure good hands-on learning.
Plowing match held under sunny skies
As always, good weather was a bonus for the fall plowing match held October 15, 2016. Among those who attended was a couple from New Brunswick who would like to start something similar in their area. We were pleased to hear they've been reading our website, and have connected with John, our main plowing match organizer. They stayed for the roast beef supper, like many others. (You'll see NFHC volunteers getting the meal ready in one photo below).
Judges were Roger Gammon and Budgie Trimper. In one photo, Tom Daniels (in red checkered shirt) explains the trophy which goes back to 1938. His father used to bring it home!
Young Tyler Daniels came with a team of oxen, adding another interesting note to this event.
The intent is to hold the annual plowing match at NFHC from now on, rather than rotating among three locations as was done in the past.
During the match a group of horseback riders from Sweet's Horse Centre came through (see last photo).
We hope the pictures below are worth a thousand words.
Fall antique tractor pull saw many participants
Despite some glitches in publicity before the event that kept the number of spectators down, antique tractor enthusiasts must have spread the word among themselves. A large number of them came from far and wide to take part. The weather provided excellent pull conditions with no fear of a greasy track.
Jim Aten of Charlottetown left PEI at three in the morning with his Farmall Super H. Vistors from Antigonish planned to eat supper locally and stay overnight. The last photo shown below, with Mike at the wheel, scored the longest pull of the day. Mike says it was the first time this tractor has had its wheels off the ground.
Antique Tractor Pull this Saturday!
The Fall Antique Tractor Pull is ON for this Saturday, October 1. The weather looks to be okay, so plans are going ahead. Weigh-in starts around 8:30, with pulling at ten. There will be fifteen classes. As always, the Cookhouse will supply excellent hamburgers and hot dogs, as well as drinks and potato chips. Call Jos Van Oostrum if you have questions, please: Phone 681-3749 Email firstname.lastname@example.com Cell phone: 902-679-9455.
Harvest Festival 2016
(Scroll down to read about our Junior Jam coming up on Saturday!)
Great weather, good crowd, enthusiastic participants, face-painted kids running around – it was all there on Sept. 4. About 34 teams took part in the ox pull, a part of Harvest Festival that really helps draw a crowd. All went well for the harvesting and threshing of oats: the grain was nicely ripe, and the bags of oats sold at a decent price. Harvest Festival offers a rare chance to see antique equipment being used to bring in the grain while providing a photogenic scene for visitors' cameras.
The Cookhouse even ran out of some items, indicating a large attendance. Area 4-H clubs put on a display of bunnies and birds as part of the Fur & Feathers display. Inside Heritage Hall, a new cup & saucer display saw a respectable number of entries, while the relatively new flower competition also increased well over last year's effort.
Here are a dozen photos to give you an idea of what took place.
Results of the Ox Pull:
First–Wayne Newcombe Heavy Class Highest Percentage Overall

Junior Jam for musical kids on September 10
For kids who are fifteen and under, NFHC will be hosting a Junior Jam this coming Saturday afternoon. If you sing or play a musical instrument, maybe this is for you! This event is free for performers; adults can make a freewill donation. Doors open at 1:00 p.m. It's in Heritage Hall, the first building from the parking lot along Steadman Road.
Don't be shy about performing in public, as this will be a friendly, informal time for those who'd like to try out their skill in public. And after all, we have an 80-year-old man who has just begun singing in public this past year for the first time. He'll show you how it's done!
For more information, contact Aart Veldhoven at 902-678-2296.
Harvest Festival coming soon: September 4!
Harvest Festival comes on September 4 this year, beginning at 10 a.m. Activities for the kids will start around noon. The Cookhouse will be open all day.
The important part of Harvest Festival is, of course, the harvesting and threshing of oats with our period equipment, drawn by horses and/or antique tractors.
A large ox pull will be held simultaneously with the harvesting, and we expect an excellent turnout. This event has drawn as many as forty-two teams of oxen in other years.
We're planning a blacksmithing demo, fur & feathers show, horse-drawn wagon rides, and a Name That Tool contest. As in other years this asks you to identify some of our smaller artifacts. We're also repeating our baking, garden, knitting, and flower competitions, with a cup & saucer display added for good measure. Please read the list below for details!
Baking competition:
Class 1: pumpkin pie; 2: white bread; 3: oatmeal cookies
Garden competition:
Class 1: attractive vegetable display; 2: strange or unusual vegetable
Knitting competition:
Class 1: pair of mittens; 2: knitted scarf
Flower competition:
Class 1: flower arrangement; 2. wildflower arrangement
Cup & saucer display: Bring your favourite cup and saucer, with a line to explain why it is special. The audience will vote for the winner.
11:30 a.m. -12:30 noon: all entries must be in Heritage Hall
(entry tags for all categories supplied when you deliver to NFHC)
Prizes: grocery gift cards!
