Maybe Craster has lived an extraordinarily long time. If so, he could have seen generations of Starks come and go as Black Brothers. Mormont might have indicated this to Jon Stark as well, I think he says something like 'Craster has been a friend of the Watch for a long time'.

If his mother came knocking to give him or at least show him to his father and the Watch chased her off, wouldn't that incline him against them? They swear to bear no children, which obviously isn't literally true, but they're obviously not allowed to raise children. So did his father turn up again later and if so does that suggest he was high enough up in the Watch to get away with having a "wife" in Whitetree.
There are other questions too but its my bedtime so good night all and I'll see where we are in the morning - 3 pages in 24 hours has been a bit hectic even by the usual standards of this thread.

The trunk is extremely large: 8 feet of diameter. Here is the passage
So it seems that the burning occurred inside the weirwood. Since the tree is very large, it might be very old, and keep traces of older practices. Alternately it might not be that old, but the vigour of the tree is due to the human bodies burnt inside.
Lummel, on 04 April 2012 - 03:48 PM, said:
I tend to agree about the notion of different wildling traditions coexisting beyond the wall, and that Craster might have continued existing practices.
But, I would rather think that Craster departed from the tradition of his own village, Whitetree, where there is no longhall, there are no pigs. That seems to indicate a cultural break. Moreover, Ygritte seemed familiar with Whitetree. Hence we can imagine that residents of Whitetree were not that different from Ygritte. But Ygritte considered Craster as a freak. So, I don't think Craster was representative of his village.

@lockesnow in regards to your post on the first page about Mel and Davos's boat ride under Storms End. It would make sense that she would fear water because water kills fire and hides light, which would effectivly vanquish R'hllor. Although Morrquo was saved out of the sea by Victorion's fleet on his way to Dany so.... (that's the only contridictory event I can think of invovling a red priest)
As far as Ep 2 goes it's available on HBO Go if you are a subscriber to that service. I saw it and there are alot of devations from the "canon" book story line. Do we have a thread policy on talking about the show here before it airs for everyone?

I tried to find more on this, but apparently that's all the info there is. The list of Lord Commanders on the Ice & Fire Wiki does list him after the Night's King, but without dates, it's practically impossible to say when he served. Still, I suppose it's possible that he knew the NK and was perhaps influenced by him. Do we know who the LC was after NK?
I'd like to know who the bastard was, what happened to him, and who his mother had been. I'm going to guess it was a Wildling, but I think Benjen would have mentioned that, so that's probably not likely.

I know Black Crow has put forth the idea that the Fist attack was merely intended to clear the way for Mance's host. Various people have also proposed that Sam's killing of the Other put the fear of god into them and they decided to regroup. But what else happened 1/3 of the way through ASOS? Craster was killed. Maybe Craster's death and the cutoff of the new supply of living boys seriously screwed up their plans somehow, leading to a postponement.
Posted 05 April 2012 - 12:40 AM
How do the sons how that their daddy is dead? (And why do they care?) Are they using the weirnet to watch Craster's longhall and so understand that something has gone wrong from what they can see? Or is there a subtler connection between the sons and their father? Are the sons going to Craster's simply to avenge their father or does his death mean that an agreement has been broken?
Craster is a friend to the watch presumably because he is relatively cut off from Wildling society which might be because he is the bastard son of a crow or might be because of his religious and family practises.
I'd say the significance of the longhall is that it is the sign of a chief, or a big man among the Wildlings. The question then is what is the basis of his authority - not his deeds like Tormund or his skills like Varamyr - but possibly his connection to the gods?

I've never seen the suggestion that Sam's slaying of that White Walker in the flight from the fist gave the rest of them the screaming ab dabs. Hey, he's one guy. Casualties are to be expected... unless those six (?) White Walkers we saw in the AGoT prologue are the same ones seen near Eastwatch and they, Craster's sons, are the only White Walkers?
I'm not proposing this as a serious theory, but its the only way losing just one of their number would daunt them. I think that the real reason we haven't seen much of them since then, and the presumed dust-up at Craster's place (if Craster's a warg he might well have summoned them himself) comes back to the popular notion on this thread that they are themselves rangers, rather than invading army.

So far as I'm concerned we're talking about the books which have been written rather than those which have yet to be published. What goes down in the shows is therefore more in the nature of an SSM allowing us insights, rather than spoilers of what's to come.
I've only seen 2:1 myself, but from what I did see and what's being said about 2:2 it sounds as though a lot of stuff is being brought forward rather than invented in order to cut out scenes but yet retain the important stuff.
Given what is being revealed, both through that recent GRRM interview which speaks of what's beyond the Wall and what's he's been saying about the Others, and this confirmation that Craster instead of exposing his sons to die or actually killing them himself, really is giving them to the White Walkers and that the women probably are right about them being his sons, I'm getting the strong impression that we're on the right track and are not preaching heresy at all but the revealed truth.
Posted 05 April 2012 - 01:21 AM
While I´m shure that GRRM isn´t keeping the role of the bad guys for the bastards (Duncan the Tall is definitely good), I´m glad you bring up the LCs of the NW, Benjen tells Jon about.
There was Tristan Mudd one of the worst LCs the NW ever had.
I have a highly speculative theory on Tristifer IV Mudd, Catelyn tells Robb about him when they camp at Oldstones on their way to the RW.
He was known as the Hammer of Justice and he ruled from the Trident to the Neck. He held back the Andals who came through the Vale, he won a 99 battles and lost the 100th.
I think House Mudd might have had a similar connection to the CotF, that we think the Starks have. I think they were in charge of keeping the pact between the CotF and the FM, and when they failed, were replaced by the Starks and the Green Men were replaced by the NW. There are some timeline problems to this idea, but it would present us with another possible forbear of Craster with a connection to the Children.
Maybe Tristan Mudd was vilified as the Night´s King was and was in fact fulfilling a purpose for the Children/Others.
Posted 05 April 2012 - 07:57 AM
On Craster's sons I do wonder where the WW take them, or where they keep them? It depends on what they actually do with the babies but I'm interested in what all of you think. (It seems like we all have more questions now lol.) I do not think they kill the babies for some sacrificial ritual because I tend to think the WW are Craster's sons, but how / where does this happen? As an aside the red priests were all children (that we know of, Thoros, Mel) when they became Lord of Light fanatics.
I also have been thinking about us seeing the Land of Always Winter and how Martin said something like we would see what's more north in a recent interview. At first I wondered if maybe Benjen might come back, and he was there, so he tells whoever about it and that's how we would know what going on. I've read some of his interviews where people ask if we'll see places in Essos, like Asshai or Valyria, and he said we might see it through memories but not actually go there. (old interviews so who knows now) I liked some of the ideas like Bran via weiwood or warging seeing what's there but I have a new idea. (new idea for me with this) A prologue or an epilogue, one of these has exciting potential don't ya think? Martin said we would see this in TWOW right?
Posted 05 April 2012 - 08:57 AM
Children having been an indigenous race in Essos is to us, Howl at the Moon followers, an old hat, of course. But I wondered about the Stormsingers and that even they were unable to avert the Doom of Valyria , as Dany mentions in AGoT.
Maybe we´ll find at the root of the Rh´llor cult of Asshai another culture of Children.
It would make more sense to me than introducing a yet unknown magical group, and I somehow don´t see humans having this power. The Asshai faction of the Children would be the Prometheus of the people of "Globos" and I´m curious if we´ll find a Pandora.
Concerning the question where Craster´s sons are taken to. I always thought, that in order to be transformed they must have been taken to the Children and that it would be a slow process that takes place while they grow up. But the description of a WW taking a baby makes me wonder if that is true. And the baby falling silent either means the WWs are capable to take care of babies, or the life force is taken instantly, at least that´s what I think.
Posted 05 April 2012 - 10:32 AM
Sorry if this was discussed anywhere before (I tried to check through the Heresies), but it occurred to me that we see another strange mist (and possible NK analogue) having no immediate relation to the North, in the Sorrows (from DWD, Tyrion). I'll try to outline the points I think are most pertinent:
Tyrion can see "stone hands and faces" (dead things in the water) as they continue down the river, and thinks "This fog is not natural. Something foul grew in the waters here, and festered in the air. Small wonder the stone men go mad." Halfmaester tells us "Hatred does not stir the stone men half so much as hunger."
Tyrion thinks about greyscale, going over the medical symptoms, blaming the cause on foul humours. His companions tell us the story of Garin's curse, and how "he called upon his Mother to destroy [the men of Volantis and Valyria]. But in the night the waters rose and drowned them, and from that day they have not rested...they who were once the lords of fire. Their cold breath rises from the murk to make fogs, and their flesh has turned stony as their hearts."
Could the condition of WW be something akin to a curse? Do the mists possibly "ensorcel" men in the north similarly as on the Rhoyne? I'm not sure what to make of this, just that I see some very possible analogues (sending water to flood, losing your humanity to stone/ ice, etc).
Regarding a possible NK parallel (I think this has been mentioned, but wanted to revisit it):
I realize that the NK doesn't have the pygmalion component, but they both seem to involve "deadish" women with certain magical powers (and cold lips) that bring about some miracle to the men they love. At any rate, I've been trying to see if some of the non-North clues could shed insight on what's going on with Winter, and I feel like the Sorrows might be important to that end.
Posted 05 April 2012 - 11:10 AM
Yes, I think these parallels are important, in the Queenmaker AFfC we learn some Rhoynish history, prince Garin the Great (the Shrouded Lord) had a quarter of a million menand made Valyria tremble, but was killed eventually. I have to reread that, but since I see the Valyrians as instruments of Rh´llor, I think it very possible that the Shrouded Lord and Greyscale is another line of defense.
Edit for corrections.

A possibility worth bearing in mind of course is that all these stories (and others) have a common root with each different culture attaching its own names and variations. As I recall GRRM did say something about strewing the books with impossible references to the deeds of Bran the Builder and Lan the Clever simply in order to create a convincing background mythology (which I'd take as a warning against believing that Bran the Builder really knocked up both the Wall and Storm's End) and another example is having Giants build the Wall just as they were once thought to have built Stoke Penge.
Now as it happens I don't think that Bran Stark the Nights King and Garin the Shrouded Lord are one and the same, or that they both knew the same White Lady, but I do think that a very similar mythology may have attached itself to both.

Not exactly the high-minded warrior monks we're led to believe. Mormont complains that the Watch isn't what it used to be, but that's a common complaint of any commander. I think the Watch we see now is just the same old Watch as ever was, unless of course the original Andal lot who ended the Night were hot stuff literally and metaphorically. They're not exactly now an elite force and I doubt they ever were and I think that's reflected in Osha's comment about Mance thinking he could fight the White Walkers because he thought they were no more than rangers. Thisc can be taken two ways and not incompatable ways either. Referring to them as rangers is certainly consistent with what we've actually seen of them, but it also suggests that Mance was pretty confident that if his people stood and fought instead of running they were capable of defeating the Watch. That's not to say he would have been successful, but he certainly wasn't quaking in his boots at the thought of fighting them

I agree, I don't think that these parallels reference the exact same things, or that the Shrouded Lord = BtB or NK. I like looking at patterns in the series, because I think sometimes seemingly unrelated issues might reveal clues about something else-- in this case, we're given a lot of mentions about WW's that have been maddeningly incomplete in terms of understanding what they're about, yet our short journey through the Sorrows has a lot of similarities to what's going on in the North, and we're treated to a lot more explanation. I was just trying to think outside the box to find support/ possible explanation for what's going on in the North, based on the assumption that there might be an underlying pattern to magics. So I think it's interesting that if the Sorrows follow consistent magical rules, it could be extended to say that the icy mists may be products of an ancient "curse" (for lack of a better term; I'm reluctant to accept that word), that have transformative properties, directly responsible for converting humans into WW.
Posted 05 April 2012 - 04:13 PM
- Craster inbreeds with his daughters because the gods require so. It seems, on the wider scale of the wildling population, he is the only one doing so routinely.
- Craster gives his sons to the WW. Also, it seems he is the only one (I cannot remember of any other reference) out of the whole wilding horde sacrificing his sons to gods (as he puts it)
So, think about this. Craster is certainly an uncomfortable addition to the wildling lot, but seems to me everyone beyond the Wall is better off with Craster, rather than without him. He is the sort of a shaman living separately from the others, and his duty is to perform certain rituals. Now, tribal shamans have certain elevated status, but so does Craster. He doesn't just live at the outskirt of a village. He rather maintains his own small settlement, which among other perks includes a longhall - by itself a construction underlining certain status.
Now, if this assumption is true, and it is Craster's duty to deliver sons to the old gods, then by definition there cannot be armies of WW, and they are rather rare lot. From what I seem to remember, Craster's female household was not that large (probably not more than 20 women), so if he had relatively the same number of boys during his span of active baby-making, that means Craster probably gave not more than 20 boys to the WW. Which underlines, that their number is strictly limited, and if Sam kills one of them, that WW is one in twenty. Part of the reason why Craster's Monster (baby boy) would be highly important to the the WW population.

Crackpot of the day: And the ancient "curse" is the "hammer" of the CotF. It explains the low numbers of the WW - when the "hammer" came down, a certain population of male humans was transformed into WWs. They can't be transformed back and need Craster's sons to stay "alive" (or whatever their status is). An even smaller number of female humans was transformed as well, with different results. They need to mate with normal males to stay alive. Depending on whether the male or female genes are passed on, the children become skinchangers.

Published November 1, 1998.
This undercooked chocolate cake baked in a ramekin is a restaurant staple. Could we translate it for the home kitchen?
Restaurant recipes rarely work at home without a great deal of tinkering. Could this be an exception?
An intensely flavored chocolate cake with a light texture and an irresistibly runny center.
After arriving at satisfactory amounts of butter (a half cup), flour (very little--one recipe had none), chocolate (we wanted a lot--but not too much), and eggs (four whole eggs plus one yolk gave us what we wanted: a cake that was rich and yet light, moist, intense, and dark), we turned our attention to cooking temperature. Four hundred degrees was best, yielding a light, cakelike perimeter around a moist well of intense chocolate. Now all that was left for us to decide was how the home cook would prepare it for serving. We discovered that the batter can be made and poured into the ramekins ahead of time and refrigerated, then baked during dinner. The batter will hold in the refrigerator for up to eight hours, and it's best to take the ramekins out of the fridge for 30 minutes prior to baking.

Christmas is going to be a lot brighter this year for Gwen Covington and her three children thanks to an employment program organized by the Laurinburg/Scotland County Area Chamber of Commerce and Richmond Community College.
Called "Generation YZ," the program is made possible by a $75,000 grant from the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center.
Created to arm 18-30 year old Scotland County residents like Covington with the skills needed to compete in a competitive job market, the program allows participants to complete two rounds of career readiness testing and classes administered by RCC.
Hired to work at Scotland Inn thanks to the program, Covington said at a program press conference this week that she feels like she finally has a chance.
"Now I know that if one of my children asks me for something, I can get it for them."
There are currently 28 participants in the program. Each has increased their initial scores on the Career Readiness Certification test.
Of the participants, two have been hired full time by The Scotland Inn, one by Precision Contractors and one by Scotland Health Care — all on a full-time basis. The city of Laurinburg has extended three job offers to program participants for full-time positions and the Scotland County Department of Social Services has hired seven participants for part-time work.
Also hired to work at Scotland Inn, Patrice Harris said that the program has increased her confidence.
"And I feel like if I did not come in here and fill out this application (for the Generation YZ) program, I would not have a job right now."
The RCC training teaches participants what to expect on an interview, how to become more employable, about economic literacy and develops their general work skills.
RCC Workforce and Economic Development VP Steve Smith said that the program can be called nothing other than a success.
"People have actually gotten jobs," said Smith, who also praised the role of RCC's Robbie Taylor, the man responsible for orchestrating much of the program, which will remain at RCC apart from the Generation YZ program as a workforce training tool.
"(Taylor) created a great program to fit the needs of the grant, and then he's created a program to use in the community, that now can help anybody unemployed," said Chamber President Tonia Stephenson.
The program workers are not the only beneficiaries of the arrangement. Participating employers say that the program has provided some of the best applicants they have interviewed.
12 local employers agreed to interview and possibly hire program participants.
"We have hired two people and we are glowingly happy," said Scotland Inn owner Ron Riggins. Having sifted through hundreds of applications in the past several months, Riggins said that the seven Generation YZ applicants he interviewed stood out. "We could have hired any one of them," Riggins said.
Having hired one full time employee, Andy Foshay of Precision Contractors said that he believes the program will pave the way for similar efforts in the future.
"I see a real bright future for this type of program. We have already hired one person, and after the first of the year we may hire more," Foshay said.
Generation YZ also includes a mentoring element which sees participants mentored by fellow 18-30 year olds currently employed with participating businesses.
Mentors assist applicants by answering questions, conducting mock interviews and generally lending support.
Being part of the first ever class to go through the program has been part of the appeal for participant Maggie Clark.
"To be the first to do this is kind of exciting — seeing the change that (the program) will be making," Clark said. "And it has helped me a lot."
The final goal of the grant is to assist at least 35 young adults in finding employment by the end date of Dec. 31, 2013.
"With this program, I know that if I don't get the job I'm applying for, I'll have the confidence to go somewhere else and get another one," said participant Arquette McDowell.
Chamber Chair Becca Hughes said that the Generation YZ program is an example of what can be done in the community when partnerships and teamwork are prioritized.
"We have got to continue to partner up like this and things will continue to improve," Hughes said.
A new session of the program will begin in February and applications are currently being accepted.
Dee Hammond, the program's grant coordinator, said 33 applications have been recieved so far.The program runs until December 2013.
"This program has taught these young people what they need to be employed," Hammond said. "The employers said there were some of the ebst job interviews that they have had. So we think it is great program for the young people and those looking for employees."
Those interested in becoming partners, mentors or participants are invited to call 276-7420.

Victor Orlando Watts, 35, is charged with a felony count of first-degree forgery, records state.
According to Floyd County Jail reports, Watts was at the Kangaroo gas station on Oct. 11 and passed $220 in counterfeit bills in exchange for a money order.
Reports state the clerk kept the bills and handed them over to police. Warrants were obtained later that month, and Watts was arrested Thursday. He remained in jail Thursday night without bond, officials said.

The above items are from reports from local police departments. In all incidents where an arrest occurred, a charge is merely an accusation and not evidence of guilt. The arrested person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Chester man found shot dead in vehicle
CHESTER — A 27-year-old man was found shot to death inside of a car parked on West Sixth Street near Memorial Park Friday morning.
The victim, whose name was not released pending notification of his family, was found inside of a black Pontiac Grand Prix parked in the 2100 block of West Sixth Street at 7:29 a.m. He had been shot in the head, according to Capt. Anita Amaro.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Chester City and Delaware County detectives responded to the shooting scene, along with their Crime Scene Units.
Amaro said some area residents reported hearing gunshots at approximately 1 or 2 a.m., but the man's body was not discovered until a passerby called police at 7:29 a.m. to report a suspicious condition.
Amaro said the victim appeared to have been shot from within the vehicle. Detectives were canvassing the area Friday looking for possible witnesses.
The shooting marks the city's 17th homicide this year, the 20th in the county.
Anyone with information please contact Chester Detective Patrick Mullen at 610- 447-7813 or County Detective David Tyler at 610- 891-4708.

There is no one Euclidean space. There are Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimensions exist, and arbitrary dimensional spaces that are locally Euclidean also exist (that's the whole point of manifolds, right?). A plane is a Euclidean space, as is a line, as are many higher dimensional abstract spaces that can't be easily visualized. A tesseract is an object that lives quite happily in a four dimensional Euclidean space.

Width, breadth and highth are all dimensions that a lower dimensional being can go trough, like a graph "lives" in one dimension (the y axis) with the x-asxis as it's time. If you see our time in such a way then it is infact a spacial dimension.

Cancer screening tests are designed to find cancer or pre-cancerous areas before there are any symptoms and, generally, when treatments are most successful. Learn more about screening tests. Various organizations have developed guidelines for cancer screening for men. While these guidelines vary slightly between different organizations, they cover the same basic screening tests. Screening tests for men generally begin after age 50 and screen for prostate and colorectal cancers. During routine health exams (at any age) your healthcare provider may also evaluate for cancers of the skin, mouth, thyroid and testes. Not all screening tests are right for everyone and your personal and family health history can affect which tests are right for you, so be sure to discuss this with your healthcare provider.
Prostate cancer screening generally begins at age 50, however, if you are African American or have a father or brother who had prostate cancer before age 65, you should have this talk with your doctor starting at age 45. Talk to your healthcare provider about the pros and cons of PSA testing. If you decide to be tested, you should have the PSA blood test with or without a rectal exam. How often you are tested will depend on your PSA level. For more information, please see the ACS document, Prostate Cancer: Early Detection.
The majority of testicular cancers occur between the ages of 15 and 45. All men should examine their testicles regularly, be familiar with their normal look and feel and report any changes to their healthcare provider for further investigation.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed today and is one of the easiest to prevent or detect early. Remember that people of all skin tones can, and do, get skin cancer. Start by practicing sun safety, including using a broad spectrum sunscreen (protects against UVA & UVB rays) every day, avoiding peak sun times (10am-4pm, when the rays are strongest) and wearing protective clothing such as hats, sunglasses and long sleeved shirts.
Examine your skin regularly so you become familiar with any moles or birthmarks. If a mole has changed in any way, including a change in size, shape, or color, has developed scaliness, bleeding, or oozing, or has become itchy or painful, or you develop a sore that will not heal, you should have a healthcare provider examine the area. If you have many moles, it may be helpful to make note of moles using pictures or a mole map. SkinCancerNet has a helpful guide to performing a skin exam.

The report states that "health care and elder care robots will become more autonomous and be able to interact with humans," even though the tasks they can perform will be limited to "specialized functions such as surgical support or certain tasks to assist with daily living."
Additive manufacturing or 3D printing is "a group of technologies that allows a machine to build an object by adding one layer of material at a time."
It's currently used in the automotive and aerospace industries and for consumer goods, and home versions have begun being sold. The machinery is cheaper, because it requires less industrial infrastructure. But the quality of the materials produced by additive manufacturing is not as good.
"The ability of developers to produce parts with sufficient strength in high volume at low cost is still highly uncertain," the report states. Although quality and cost limit 3D printing, the report states there is the potential in 2030 for it to "begin to replace some conventional mass produced products."
Unmanned aerial vehicles are already used by the military and CIA for spying and for killing terrorists hiding out in remote regions. But according to the report, UAVs could be used to monitor conflicts and enforce no fly zones by 2030. Self driving cars are likely to become more prevalent.
The growing population, particularly the middle class, will increase demand for food, water and energy.
"Key technologies that are likely to be in the forefront for maintaining such resources in the next 15-20 years will include genetically modified crops, precision agriculture, water irrigation techniques, solar energy and advanced bio-based fuels and enhanced oil and natural gas extraction," Kojm said.
Disease management is expected to continue to improve with advancements in DNA sequencing.
"Molecular diagnostic devices will revolutionize medicine by providing a rapid means for testing for both genetic and pathogenic diseases during surgeries," the report states, leading to faster diagnosis and treatment.
"Fully functional limb replacements, enhanced eyesight, and hearing augmentation" have the potential to be "widely available" in 2030, according to the report.

Victoria S.
I received my order today and the wonderful fragrances in your soaps are allowing me to experience Hawaii all over again. I bought them for my husbands birthday in August (he went nuts for the coconut-mango soap on our recent visit to Oahu -- the pineapple is my favorite) but I think I may not be able to keep them a secret. I might give him one of the bars tonight.Also, your shipping to California was FAST, FAST, FAST. Bravo! The box and wrapping paper smells good too! No wonder the guys in the mailroom here at eBay have a smile on their faces today!
Thanks again.
Best regards,Arlene B. Senior Content Manager, eBay Inc. Thank you so much. Your soaps are FANTASTIC!!!!
Hello Richard, our order has arrived today! It was so fast! Great job, thank you so much. What lovely, fantastic products! Our company smells wonderful from your products, like Maui
Monica Pfäffli, Harmony World GmbH, Switzerland
Aloha! My husband bought a bar of your pineapple soap at the airport on our way home from Australia - (he had already purchased 16 bars of tropical soap earlier) when i mentioned how many he already had he stated that 'this one smells the best - it's like real pineapple!' So, we came home and he started using some of the other soaps and in the last week opened your Clearly Hawaiian Pineapple soap and i haven't heard the end of since - and yes, i most heartily agree you have the best soaps!!!

13 Meetup Groups match "Science Fiction Writers" near Deerfield, IL
Welcome fellow writers (or aspiring writers). Whether you are just starting out, coming back to writing after years away, or an accomplished writer this group is for you. We meet the 1st Monday of the month at the Culver's off of I-94 on Hwy 20 in Sturtevant, WI. to discuss ideas, critique work, and encourage one another. Just as with writing, this group is a work in progress and will undergo revisions as needed. We know that you all are busy but to keep our membership current we ask that you ch …
You are not alone. You are a part of a multitude of free thinkers, purveyors of the eccentric, odd and out of sorts. You are bohemian, you are insufferable, you are difficult, you are creative... and you are meticulous. You my friend, you are a writer. You were born this way. You were observing, criticizing, organizing, partitioning, petitioning, complimenting, hiding for years and no one saw it and you didn't see it. But there you were, writing in some notebook at 2 in the morning laughin …
The Evanston Writers Group is an eclectic mix of writers, ranging from beginners to long time professionals, and reflect all ages, genders and backgrounds. We have members who publish literary fiction, creative non-fiction, children's literature, romance, hard-boiled crime, memoir, travel, poetry, humor and assorted forms of the unclassifiable.

Who are we? We're a group of people from all over NE IL/ SE WI who love to write.

Meetup details are available only to members.
Hello and welcome to Critique This, a Meetup group for serious writers with serious goals. If you're looking for encouragement, direction, interesting discussions and writing support, you've found it! When a writers' group really works, it can be the highlight of your week. I belonged to another writers' group for five years. Having others read and critique my work has contributed more to my growth as an author than any class or workshop. Reading and critiquing others' work, and the camaraderie …
Moderated workshop for people writing SF and Fantasy: space opera, steampunk, paranormal romance, aliens, elves, or dragons, whatever is in your imagination! Bring us anything, flash fiction to epic novel. You'll get feedback from other writers and from a writing professor who knows your genre.
These are the voyages of the Western Suburban Science-Fiction Book Club... Our continuing mission: to seek out the most compelling, discussion-provoking science-fiction (and occasionally, fantasy) novels and gather together to chat about them over dinner. It's a pretty good mission. Reading sci-fi suggests certain nerdish... leanings, but don't be afraid: our group is all-inclusive. Yes, I'm sure a few of us qualify as geeks, but we're all socially well-adjusted and reasonably freshly showered t …
First and foremost: We are not a critique group. We are not a workshop group. We are a group of writers who get together to...just write. This is a group that meets to WRITE, to socialize, and to offer encouragement and inspiration to others as we practice our craft. We're focused on the process, not the product. Writing can be a solitary activity...but it doesn't have to be. This is a group where the focus is actually on DOING the work as opposed to critiquing already finished works. I found s …

Welcome to Dual Enrollment Programs. We are pleased that you are interested in starting your college career early!
Dual Enrollment Programs' mission is aligned with the University's mission through collaboration with Ohio high schools to offer college credit classes to qualified high school students. We work collaboratively with students, parents and school counselors to help students earn college credit that in most instances will also count for high school credit towards graduation. In most cases, students who are able to earn college credit in high school do not pay for tuition and books, have fewer student loans, and persist to graduation at higher rates than students who do not earn college credit while in high school.
Dual Enrollment Programs include the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program (PSEOP) and Dual Credit. Admissions criteria include a 3.0 or higher GPA, and an ACT composite score of 23 or combined reading and math score of 1070 on the SAT.
Additional Dual Enrollment Programs include the Cleveland Clinic Partnership, Foreign Language Academy, Portage County College Access Network, and the Science Internship.
Congratulations for choosing Kent State University as a starting point for your college career!

Anson County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Greg Firn announced Friday morning that he will resign his position as of Feb. 1.
The board appointed current Deputy Superintendent Michael Freeman interim superintendent during a special called meeting on Jan. 2.
"The timing of this is really based on my confidence in our leadership," Dr. Firn said Friday morning. "Part of it is very sincerely that I wanted not to have a long period of time after the announcement so that it wouldn't be a distraction."
Firn said he couldn't comment yet on his future plans, but said he will be staying in the education field, though it's not clear whether or not he will remain in Anson County.
"This has everything to do with family," he said of his reasons for stepping down. Firn, who took the superintendent job in July 2007, said he feels very proud of all the school system has accomplished during his tenure.
"I know there's still work to be done here," he said, "but I am leaving with the confidence that we will continue the good work we've been doing."

We're looking for people to visit us in Camden Town London to try out our new iPad app.
(It doesn't matter if you've ever used an iPad before or not.)
Mother's Day has different dates in countries across the globe. For the UK, it was March 10. For most countries it is the second Sunday in May.
Remember our greeting cards take longer to arrive as they are only printed and posted from the UK - please see delivery advice below.
We've also listed some Mother's Day dates. For a full list of dates, please see the WikiPedia Mothers Day page.
What's the news?
You can now upload hundreds of addresses in a couple clicks, thanks to our latest new feature. (Many of you have been asking for it...) It's especially handy for big events, such as:
Wedding invitations or save the dates
'We've moved house' cards
Party invitations
Christmas and holiday cards
Thank you cards
And, of course, it's just easier to send any card once you have everyone's address in your Touchnote address book.
The idea is simple: rather than adding addresses one at a time, you can use a spreadsheet to add lots of addresses to your address book in one go.
To do this you'll need to use a CSV spreadsheet. If you don't know what CSV means don't be worried by the acronym. CSV is a type of spreadsheet that is a widely used for exporting information like contact details and addresses. If you use Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail or most other email clients, you can export a CSV of all your contacts.
Uploading CSVs available via touchnote.com only - not via our apps. Click here to try it in your address book.
If you're a bit techy and already have a CSV spreadsheet of your addresses, sign in to the Touchnote website and head to your address book. You'll see the new Upload Address Spreadsheet feature when you get there.
When you upload a CSV spreadsheet of addresses the structure, will need to be similar to that used by Touchnote. A quick way to find out is to upload your CSV and see how it looks. If there are small errors, you can make edits.
However, if the structure is completely wrong, the easiest way to correct it is to download our sample spreadsheet, then copy and paste the addresses from your existing spreadsheet into it. Then upload your new spreadsheet.
We included our address as an example, to show you how to format your addresses. Feel free to send us a postcard :-)
Good news! You can still use a spreadsheet to quickly upload a large number of addresses.
Step by step guide:
1. First download the sample spreadsheet and open it up in MS Office, or a similar program.
2. You'll see 8 columns (as above), each corresponding to a different part of an address. You'll see the example address that we've included to make it easy to see how the structure works.
3. Now enter each of your addresses as a separate row in the spreadsheet, using the same structure as the example address.
4. Then save the spreadsheet and upload it.
Just like that! Huzzah!
If you have any problems, please do get in touch via firstname.lastname@example.com. One of our team will be very happy to help - we can even format your spreadsheet for you.

Touchnote, brainchild of 4-year-old Bill Dapps from his London home, sends photos as real cards to anywhere in the world.
Facebook is rumoured to be about to snap up mobile postcard start-up Touchnote, the latest in a string of acquisitions intended to improve the social network's photo services.
Touchnote allows people to send their photos as real postcards to any address in the world, and sent over 1m cards in 2012.
"I came up with the app to send photos of my Mum to my Grandma from my iPad."
Dapps, a pupil at King's Nursery in East London, near to London's Silicon Roundabout, said he was unperturbed about moving from a startup to millionaire.
"Obviously my mum's helping me with the important conversations because I'm too young. I'm looking forward to signing a contract, as I've just learned to write my name with a real pencil. But I'm really pleased that my app is helping millions of people to share their photos as real postcards."
"I'm really looking forward to going to Facebook because they've built a really great play area for toddlers," he said.
For now, however, Dapps will be balancing his focus on pre-school, continuing to write code during playtime, and keeping tabs on his team of techies at weekends.
Terms of the deal have not been disclosed, though technology blog TechCrunch reported that Facebook was offering to pay roughly $120 million, citing anonymous sources.
We launched our beautiful new greeting cards last December, at the amazing introductory price of just 1 credit per card (including free postage to anywhere, as always).
But that offer will come to an end on April 4, 2013. From then, each greeting card will cost 2 credits each.
So that's still just £2.98, $2.98 or €2.98 per card.
Or, if you buy a credit pack, you can save up to a third.
The price of our postcards is not changing though - just one credit each.
There is currently some very stormy weather at our UK printing centre. This means that the delivery of some order willl be delayed by 1 or possibly 2 days.
This affects only orders placed between Friday 8 and Sunday 10 March, which are printed and delivered from our UK centre. We're really sorry!
Please contact our help team: email@example.com.
You can check our usual delivery times here.
In the UK and Ireland, Mother's Day is on Sunday 10 March 2013. (For other countries, see here)
To help you tell mum how awesome she is, here's some easy ideas for your card. Just choose your photo, select one of our greetings card themes and add your message to the front and inside. (Or you can leave the front as a plain photo)
Last order date for UK addresses: to arrive by Sat 9, orders need to be placed by Wednesday 6 March 2013 (cards take 1-3 working days)
We all love our digital cameras, but there's something unique about old photos. Pro tip: if you don't have a scanner, try just taking a photo of an old photo!
I bet mum doesn't get as many photos of you as she used to? And all mums love photos of their kids, whatever their age.
Or you could show her your appreciation like this :-)
Nothing shows that you're wishing her a happy Mother's Day like a photo of you both.
Or even from all the siblings:
Touchnote may be easy enough for a 2 year to use, but not all 2 year olds have credit cards… So that means it's down to you, dad, to thank that mother in the family. You've got tons of great photos you could use, or you could just take one now…
Or them both together:
Create your own card for Mother's Day, via web, iPhone or Android.
Ever wondered why February 14 is the day everyone sends Valentine's cards to their lovers? It's a little mysterious, but there was one note which is believed to have started it all...
Apparently there were at least three different St Valentine's. But it's agreed it's all associated with love and fertility, and involves the sacred marriage of Zeus and Hera in Ancient Athens, though most of the legend comes from Ancient Rome.
Let's not forget the festival of Lupercus, the ancient Roman god of fertility. The priests of Lupercus used to perform a purification ritual where they would slaughter goats to the god, drink wine and then run through the streets of Rome holding aloft the skins of the goats. Young women flocked to the streets, looking to touch the priests to improve their fertility.
This is where it gets romantic. A former Roman Emperor claimed that married men made poor soldiers, so banned young citizens from tying the knot. However, Bishop Valentine disagreed, and soon became notorious for his undergroud, clandestine weddings.
He was soon jailed, and ultimately beheaded – though not before falling madly in love with the jailer's daughter. Legend has it that on the night of his execution, he passed his love a note which said "from your Valentine" - and thus the tradition was born.
Not every love story has the drama of Bishop Valentine's love note, but sending your own photo on one of our new Valentine's themes is the next best thing :)
Just upload your photo, choose a theme, add your personal message to the front and inside and hit send. We print on gorgeous textured card and send in quality ivory envelopes – satisfaction guaranteed. And our greetings cards are still just one credit each, including postage to anywhere, just like our postcards.
Love it or hate it, Valentine's Day is here. And now you know (more or less) who to blame/thank! :)
Thanks the BBC for their great Valentine's content, which was the source for this post (click here for the full article).
Birthday cards have probably been our most requested feature ever. Handy, then, that our lovely new greetings cards are ideal for them - folded cards printed on thick paper, sent in premium envelopes, to anywhere in the world.
The hardest thing about birthdays is remembering them. But at Touchnote we like to make things easy, so we offer reminder emails. Just enter the dates, and we'll send you an email a week before.
On iPhone or Android apps: go to your account, then go to your contacts, and you can set reminders for any contact. On touchnote.com: sign in to your account, click on your address book, then choose your contact and click edit.
Our elegant, super easy greetings cards make any photo look great. Whether you're a pro or a happy snapper, sending a personalised card to someone is always special.
You can use our templates to customise your design and write your own message, or go for a simple, plain photo on the front. Then just write your own message on the inside.
Happy birthday from us Sometimes people say only a hand written card is truly personal. But how much hassle is that? And how is that more personal than a photo of the, erm, persons? Well, maybe if you painted a portrait, packed it up and posted that...
Send an old photo I don't know about you, but I preferred my birthdays when they were in single figures. If you're lucky enough to have some old photos available, they always hit the spot :)
In fact, we love old photos so much, we couldn't resist adding another. Maybe you know someone who always complains about their birthday...?
Say it in the photo When I was a kid I used to make cards for my parents. They would involve coloured paper, glue, glitter and all sorts. I guess I could still do that now... but sending a photo of it would make much more sense. Or I could write a message like this one:
But really, you can send *any* photo It doesn't have to be clever. Maybe you have a photo of a place you've both been, or of something you know they like? For example, I have a friend who just loves cows...
It's even easier when you have credits ready in your account. How many birthday cards should you be sending this year? A single credit is £1.49/ $1.49/ €1.49, but check out the savings on our multipacks... And remember credits can be used on our postcards too...
We've had "once in a decade" snow in the UK this week. It's beautiful.
When I check my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram I'm greeted with wonderful winter wonderland photos from everyone.
I still get that excited feeling when I open the curtains and see a white world outside. It reminds me of when my dad used to take me and our plastic sled to our nearest downhill slope.
Loads of you from the UK and beyond have already been sending magical photos as postcards and greetings cards.
Why not send a real card to your parents, or whoever you used to build snowmen with? Remind them of the time you used to spend in the snow with a printed photo that they'll cherish. It will last a lot longer in the memory than sharing a photo online...
And after all, you've probably already taken a good snow photo... So what are you waiting for? ;)
Send real memories, via iPhone, Android or our website.
Touchnote is the best way to turn your photos into real postcards, from your computer or your mobile phone.

HOW ARE YOU PEOPLE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS? http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/24/jj-abrams-to-direct-star-wars-episode-vii
There's so much talk on these things that I'll wait until there's a press release to believe it, but I guess that's okay. The big thing there will be that the writer is already chosen, so it's not like Abrams can bring in any of his Bad Robot posse to do finishing touches on it. That doesn't seem like a thing he'd be down for, but what do I know?
Yeah, I'm treating anything on this as bullshit until I see an official press release or someone's name in the credits.
Why don't you believe "an individual with knowledge of the production" who talked to a website called "Thewrap"? He sounds like a reliable source.
Well, for all Abrams Trek's flaws, it was still a better Star Wars movie than any of the prequels. So's Ass Bandits III: Enema of the State, but I guess that's something.
J.J. Abrams is going to direct SW7. Talk about crossing the streams. Also, while I didn't mind the ST reboot, it had its weak aspects as well and I was far from sure that Abrams would be able to sustain it past the initial novelty of the new cast and sensibility. On the whole I'd have preferred some other competent non-lens-flarey director.
Artist friend of mine from back in the Codemasters days likes to paint watercolors of Disney princesses and so-on. She did this lovely picture of the Princesses welcoming Leia into the fold! You can see her Tumblr account here.
Also, since it has been bugging me for ages, GOD DAMN I HATE WHAT DISNEY DOES TO ITS OWN PROPERTIES! My son has a "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" story book (from his Oma) and the writing is godawful. The stories are long and tedious and the writing style really cumbersome. All of the contributors seem to have gone to the "don't keep using 'said' more than once per page" school of writing so characters declare, shout, and ask (and more) their way through the stories. Also, in general MM:CH is a terrible program (badly animated, boring, sexist, ugly) and I'm constantly surprised Disney is ok with their "flagship" character being so poorly treated. Not that it breaks my heart, I just don't get it.
Truly one of the great travesties of our time. Imagine what could have been. "LEEEEEIA! YOUWAH TEARING ME APAAAAHT! GET OWT! GET OWT OFF MY LAHF!" "I did nawt go to da dahk side! I did nawt - oh, hi Han."
Eilonwy is presumably back in the books, since the artist has perceived that Disney prefers to pretend that The Black Cauldron never existed. It's right ahead of Song of the South in their favorites list. My response to Wiseau: OHAI VADER! That's still the thing that sticks with me the most from that movie. With regard to the news: well okay. We know that Abrams is a competent director, and he's pretty damn able to keep a secret. I'm still kind of impressed that he's walking into this thing that he has absolutely no control over at all, and it'll be interesting to see if he actually makes it through or ends up quitting in disgust. I have high hopes, though I do think that Disney is probably paying too much for the directorial talent (Matthew Vaughn or any number of other less-expensive-than-Abrams guys could easily have been gotten). I hope that it works out in the end, although I shudder at the expectations this sets up for the talent on the sequel.
Disney cans plans to re-release the rest of the prequels in 3D. In favor of focusing on the new movies. Well done. I am pleased.
Why am I not surprised of a rumour of a Yoda spin-off movie? Disney has to make its money back on the $4 billion somehow...
There have been rumors of spin-offs since the purchase went through, including one directed by Zack Snyder. I wouldn't be entirely surprised by a Yoda one-shot, but I do have to wonder what you'd actually do with that. Yoda is not a character about whom I have a tremendous number of questions. Even among the Jedi, there are others I would be more curious about (Mace Windu had some promise that was never realized, and basically all those other random collections of syllables from the prequels are enough of a blank slate that you could fill in with interesting stuff).
If they absolutely have to do a spin-off movie, I'd be interested in seeing one with Ahsoka (Anakin's padawan in The Clone Wars) that deals with what happens to her during the Jedi Purge. In a way it would be a good fit for Disney - Ahsoka could be their sci-fi princess. Only problem is that the film would almost certainly end on a down note, regardless of whether or not Ahsoka survives the Purge. Edit: Unless, I guess, they were to release it as a companion piece to Episode VII, intended to fill in some background on how a now mature Ahsoka came to be living in recluse on the remote planet of Neitherdagobahnortatooine.
I'd hate to see a Yoda story because I'd hate to see the new producers/director not learn anything from Lucas's over reliance on CG storytelling. It makes me think of Red Letter Media's (i.e., that Plinkett guy) scathing review of the prequels where he showed how asking actors and directors use nothing but a green screen and a tennis ball was a big step down in the visual storytelling. If the potential of "un-Lucasing" Star Wars is to be realized, they can't use an all CGI main character that's going to lead them down that road again.

- Disappointing Review by Jim
(Posted on 3/20/13) - The REAL Ultimate Loud 'n Low! Review by Audioholic3000
Quality - House shifter Review by Hash
In my house, it sounds insane (My room is 8x5x3.6 meters). Be warned, it will break your house if you are not careful with the volume control. It shifted an entire row of roof tiles in my theater room. Some of the plasterboard in the opposing wall have started to crack as well. Factory set volume level is 30, I have dropped it to 10 and it still breaks my house.
The DD18+ is huge. It makes my B&W 802Ds look like toys next to it. It's also very heavy. I'm a big boy but I needed help to move it around. Any one who has a strong house, the space and the $$ will not regret buying this beast :) 100% recommended. It puts a smile on my face and scares my son and wife every time it makes sound :D Magnificent beast!! (Posted on 11/1/12) - you are the #1 Review by Zé

Enough is Enough
by Noel Olive
Price $27.95
- About the Book
Listen to these voices … I want the reader to think about what they have to say, and what they say about their history, so different from whitefellas. I want the reader to think about how the blackfellas live today, and how the reader would cope with such a life. I present these stories, or part stories, so we may consider whether any difference we hear about is simply one of culture, or whether the things that have happened to blackfellas, which whitefellas have never experienced, have had an important influence in shaping their lives. This book is a product of a whitefella's desire to see justice brought to those whom Australia's formal justice system has so far failed: the blackfellas. It is an attempt to present a history that embraces the Aboriginal side of the Pilbara story.
