Death Valley
Season 1
I must admit that my MTV watching days are far behind me. But when I heard there was a new genre show that debuted on MTV called Death Valley, I had to check it out.
Here is the description from the MTV site for the show:
"A year ago, vampires, werewolves and zombies mysteriously descended upon the streets of California's San Fernando Valley. Death Valley is the dark comedy that follows the cops that capture the monsters, and the camera crew that captures the cops.
Follow the horrific yet comedic exploits of the newly formed Undead Task Force (UTF), a division of the LAPD created to combat the emergence of monsters in the San Fernando Valley. Death Valley showcases the outrageous and courageous men and women working the toughest beat in the US: Death Valley. "
I have had a chance to watch the show now, and it delivers on both the comedy and gore. Death Valley is basically a riff on the Cops TV show with a camera man and sound person following the UTF personnel as they deal with the undead . I was pleasantly surprised that the zombies, werewolves, and vampires looked pretty decent. The characters, while initially seeming pretty one-dimensional, actually grow on you a great deal. The writing on the show is very good and a story arc is evolving quite nicely. I would recommend the show for horror genre and urban fantasy lovers. It looks like the show has been picked up for a second season.
Season One:
Death Valley: Season 1 (Uncensored) is available at Amazon.
Looking for other books about governmental (or non-governmental) enforcement of rules for monsters and other paranormal creatures?
While the books on this list may not have the humor of Death Valley, they do provide for a good read.
A watchalike TV show was Special Unit 2 which unfortunately has not yet made it to DVD.

Modern textile machinery is used to transform raw materials like cotton into fabric, then manufacture and process the fabric into textiles. Much textile machinery is completely automated, allowing the machines to spin, weave, and process textiles quickly to cater to the massive fashion industry. As textile material throughput generally needs to be high, many textile machines are run continuously; therefore, the components used in the machinery need to adhere to the strictest quality standards to keep the production going. For textile machinery to run effectively for long periods of time, its components should be reliable, accurate, and low maintenance. Some of the most important components inside textile machinery include cooling fans.
Cooling fans are important in textile machinery because they ensure continuous functioning of the machines by maintaining an optimized air flow. Fans can be used to loosen up cotton after the cotton is processed through a roller; the cotton sticks to a screen mesh with the help of fans, after which it is fed to rollers again to produce a fleecy sheet. Fans are also used to dissipate the enormous amounts of heat generated by the machinery. Cooling fans make it possible for textile machinery to work for long periods of time by removing excess heat from the machinery, thus creating an optimal ambient temperature for the textile machines' operation.
NMB has years of experience in the manufacturing of small motors, precision ball bearings, and fans; this expertise provides strong benefits for the textile-manufacturing industry. We provide innovative solutions to the industry and can help you to select and integrate fans that are specifically tailored to your textile machinery. NMB fans have the highest level of quality and reliability; this, coupled with low maintenance requirements, makes fans from NMB the perfect fit for textile machinery. With NMB fans, you can be sure your textile machinery will operate smoothly for the long haul.
Apart from operating reliably to prevent problems associated with overheating that can lead to costly damage in textile equipment, NMB fans
NMB collaborates with the textile machinery engineer in determining the ideal fans for a wide variety of applications. We can help consider the placement of the fans in the machinery from the point of view of flow dynamics. Explore our site to know more about NMB's fans and blowers, and contact us to learn how we can deliver the cooling solutions you're seeking.

I took Claire skiing on a black diamond run this past weekend. She did great. The snow was just perfect to have her try this run. She's only done blue and green runs so far this season. Once we got down the black run, she turned to me and said, "That was so easy!" I agreed. It's amazing the difference when you have perfect snow vs. a sheet of ice. 🙂
We're supposed to get more snow up in the mountains all day today. 4″ of new snow has already fallen in the past 24 hrs. It's been a good ski season around here and we're hoping for skiing all through March. We'll see. My daffodils and day lilies are already sprouting as are my azalea shrubs. The in-between stage of winter/spring in Seattle is always full of contradictions.

4 years ago my sister was killed in a car accident driving home from my birthday party.
I'm so sorry
Wow that's so sad
+You have my prayers. I am sure your dear sister is loving and holding you every birthday and everyday, giving you whatever help that she can.+
How devastating for you and your family. Such a loss.
I am so sorry.I lost my beloved sister to cancer last year and still miss her terribly.Peace and blessings to you.
you win.
For my 13th birthday, I woke up in the morning and headed downstairs for breakfast, but then a whale leaped out of the random cake I saw in the table. Two whales came up from behind me and held me still while the other came at me with a ba<x>seball bat. I pulled some dynamite out of my anus and set it off. Being badly burnt, I climbed out of the rubble. The whales were recovering and were now coming my way. I quickly ran down the street. Since they weren't very intelligent, they charged right down the hill towards me, so I turned the corner and sprinted the other way then got onto the street in front of my school. After this, I fluffed out my belly and rolled all the way down the hill. I spent about 30 minutes sleeping in the safeway until I was caught by an employee and kicked out the door. After wandering around and scavenging the trash cans for food for several hours, I noticed a terrible shadow in front of, then a I felt something wet and rough grab my arm. I spun, and a whale's tough fin smashed into my face. My only option now was to beg.

"No, stop! I'll give you anything you want!"

The lone whale didn't respond, but its face was a mask of rage. I stood up straight again, but it lashed me in the belly area with its tail, then shoved me off balance and slammed me bodily into a tree.

I was in too much pain and shock to fight back immediately. The whale suddenly turned around and scooped up dirt, then hurled it into my face. Now I couldn't see, but I could hear the whale crouching, probably preparing to ram me over. I kicked out blindly, managing to hit its head. I cleared the dirt out of my eyes, only to see that the whale had recovered too promptly. Now, I felt the whale's sharp fangs cut into my ribcage, and suddenly my vision was blurred. ****, I thought. Is this how it ends? I felt something crack into the back of I head, then the ground rushed up to meet me.

I was resurrected 18 days later and doomed to haunt EP Link forever.
I'm hoping the cops got him
That's one of the better Worst birthday stories ever.
Wow I got locked out of THIS account too!
i dont know if i should believe that but...
I made it up instead of doing my writing homework lol
Twas very good. I loved the hyper sense of realism that I felt while reading your story.
a whale?
Lol yes
•-• wtf
A bit fishy if you ask me
Haha good one
My worst birthday ever is my 16th birthday,it was my worse day,cause my mother passed away,since then I hate all my birthdays
That is very understandable.
My Mom passed away two days before my 42 BDay in 2010. I hear ya. As much as I try to make advance plans to skip the heartache of it all, it haunts me a bit. Always will I guess. I've kind of surrendered in a way because I know my Mom would want me to celebrate my birthday because she loved me so much to celebrate all the years before........heart love to you. It's so hard to lose a mum.
that's sad. :(
I have difficulty on my birthday too since my mom died on mine. Plus, it New Year's Day so everyone is celebrating and I just keep quiet and try to not spoil their good feelings. I have tried to look at it as she was giving me a gift of sorts since I took care of her to the end. Maybe she was honoring my commitment to her to take care of her by passing on my birthday. I don't know, but I do know it's hard and always will be.
When I was little, I once accidentally burned a part of my hair with my birthday candles!! But I wouldn't call it 'worst birthday ever'... It became like a funny story.

I guess every birthday since I have become an adult has been "a worst birthday", because that day is usually not a day of a celebration for me, it is a day of judgement, where I sit with myself and question what good have I done (for myself) and where I am heading. Every time I have this meeting with myself, the future seems so vague and scary to me and the day just turns bad. Maybe I will have my perfect birthday when I am 60 or something, because most of my life will already be behind me and I will have nothing to worry about. Kind of sad.
omg, that's what i do :D then i got surprised that it's your answer! we're similar in more ways than i thought!
We really are and I think it is awesome :)
I do the same thing.... Then I cry because I feel like I've failed.
None of us are perfect(although some of us think we are)Go easy on yourself and do something that makes you happy.Life is short.Eat dessert first.
My mom grounded me on my birthday and wouldn't take me to Disneyland where my friends had planned a surprise birthday party when I was 15. To this day it still písses me off.
Why did she ground you?
Hmm it was a while back but I think it had something to do with school and we fought, called me disrespectful and made me call my friends to say they weren't allowed to pick me up. I have really strict Catholic parents and it didn't mesh well with my free spirit attitude.
You should've snuck out and enjoyed your day. Sure, you would've gotten in trouble, but you already were in it. A little bit more trouble would've been worth the fun.
I know man, at the time though I feared my moms wrath
that's upsetting.
my parents wouldn't ground me on my b-day. they might yell at me a tiny bit if i wasn't being good, but not ruin my b-day for me. that would just be sad
Same here!
i slept all day on my 14th.
That sounds like a 'best birthday ever' story
not really a bad birthday, except you don't get cake.
My 13th birthday, my family including myself got into a horrible car crash. We flipped multiple times and landed upside down. My mom was stuck, they had to use the jaws of life to get her out of the car. They airlifted her to the hospital, she shattered more than 25 bones and was badly burned from laying on the light on the roof of the car. She still limps an has chronic pain because of it. She has been disabled since that day and I have a hefty fear of cars.
what happened to the rest of your family?
My brother wasn't wearing a seatbelt, he got a minor cut on his head, I was bruised from the seatbelt cause I was hanging from it upside down, my brothers friend hurt his pinky and the puppies were fine. I only talked about my moms injuries cause hers were the worst.
oh, okay. that must have been sad
It was. While I was laying on the gurney, I could hear people talking nearby about it being my birthday.. This guy went to his car and brought me a teddy bear. I clung to it for days and I still have it. That one guys act of kindness has stuck with me all this time. He will never know how much it meant to me.
Decided to try sky diving. Slight malfunction.... I can eat with a straw now.
Wow, I'm so sorry that happened to you.
It didn't, I was kidding. I modified a Paula Poundstone joke about fighting with Mike Tyson.
You couldn't eat with a straw before?
Nope, never could eat through a straw but I could enjoy an In-N-Out milkshake. I'll bet whereabouts knows what I'm talking about.
Having to eat via straw huh? That sucks! (Bah dumm doosh)
On my "sweet 16" my dog died, got no gifts, and went on a terrible date.
well my 6th Street extracted in the hospital with the first nose and a broken back
not very sweet
It was messy. It was bright. The doctor slapped me on my behind and I cried.
that was probably my worst birthday too LOL
Most recent one sucked pretty bad. Woke up, took kids to school, it rained and rained. I got money from my mom in a card, wife came home and yelled at me for wanting to buy something for myself with it instead of paying bills…I told her to eat **** and went and bought an AR-15!!!
good for you you should have done it the first
Good job! sometimes you just got to do something for you, regardless of how others feel about it?
* meant put a period instead of the question mark *
what did she say about that?
She bitched for a day or so still. I was like "*****?!?!? What?!?!?" And she left me alone
I dreaded turning 40 and often stated my fears to all my friends who just mocked me because I am the youngest in our friend circle. Well I was right turning 40 did suck because 26 days later my 16 year old daughter died in a tragic accident, I said goodbye to her that morning and never saw her again.
I can't really remember a bad birthday but I was born 9/11/97.. So my 4th bday was happening during the attacks ;(
My friends daughter was born on 9/11 ); I was at the hospital with her crying and terrified
my 20th b'day. i was in college..and i didnt have any money with me...i was very hungry..so me n my friend, who's b'day was also on the same day(he didnt had any money with him too), spent the whole day at our hostel playing ps2,& watching movies...until some other friends who came to know it was our b'day and bought us food in the evening..

i wont call it my worst b'day. only that is the b'day i remember..!!
I am always poor...
My twentieth birthday. My squad had to hide in a swamp in Vietnam. We were surrounded by the enemy, who didn't know we were there. They were too close to call in air or artillery support, and we were way too outnumbered to attack them, so the only thing we could do was hunker down and pray they didn't simply stumble into us. It was bone chilling cold, it rained all night, we were hungry, and scared. Come daybreak, they moved off far enough to bomb the hell out of them, and we got lifted out. However, the next day our Battalion Commander sent us a couple cases of beer, and steaks, so we were pretty happy.
Thank you for your service.
Dumped by my boyfriend of seven years.

Over the phone.

Because he wanted to propose to his other girlfriend.

Who I didn't know about.

That pretty much sums it up.
WOW, what a ****.
^ and THAT pretty much sums it all up nicely! :)
me too!!
All of them. Getting old is not very much fun.
My mom found out she had cancer. She died 1yr5mths later
My 21st.My father died.
I refuse to have a "worst" Birthday. I am just happy to be with my family and friends.
:) me too

Meet Sara Raasch
Today on the blog I have author Sara Raasch. She is the genius behind the YA fantasy novel SNOW LIKE ASHES and I have a feeling we will be hearing lots from her in years to come. I'm taking a cue from all the readers already demanding the sequel to SLA, her debut novel. You can read my short review of her novel on Amazon or Goodreads.
To tell you a bit about Sara you should know that if she ever tries to sell you lemonade, you should be prepared to also buy cute picture books of her creation (I doubt she's changed her ways since, at five years old, she tried to do just that at her friends' lemonade stand.) She names her pets after fictional characters, is obsessed with the TV show Lost Girl and would love for Ksenia Solo to play the role of SLA's protagonist, Meira. Currently, she's working on book#2 and book#3 of the Snow Like Ashes trilogy, so don't despair. It is coming!
Ingrid: Hi, Sara! *waves across the inter-space*
Sara: *waves back*
So glad to have you on my blog. I'm curious about a few things, so here it goes:
As an author, I'm always curious to learn the way other writers go about their craft. Tell us, how does a day of writing look for you? And what makes a writing day IDEAL?
I'm usually a morning writer. I get up, check social media, then spend the hours until lunch writing/drafting/editing/whatever I need to be doing. The afternoon is spent either doing more writing things (if I'm on a roll) or doing marketing stuff. This is an example of an ideal day—of course, not every day is so productive. Sadness.
Sounds like tons of fun. I love SLA's Sir, can you tell us how you go about crafting such a strong fictional character?
Writing Sir was a continually surprising process. He's very, shall we say, layered, even to me, so to find out what makes him tick, I had to really dig into his backstory. Why did he and Alysson get married? How did they meet? What was his relationship with Queen Hannah? How does he feel about Winter's fall (beyond the expected anger/sorrow)? And, most importantly, why does he keep Meira so distant? The answers to all these questions were surprising and heartbreaking, and I'm so excited to get to share them with everyone in books 2 and 3!
Most of writing, for me at least, is just asking questions!
I love to hear that. Can't wait to read! Winter always gets a bad rep, are you trying to change that?
I am! One of my reasons for wanting to write this story at all was to cast winter in a good light. So often it is evil and spring is good, and I wanted to flip that. Down with spring! Bugs and dampness and allergies—ew.
Yes! I hate allergies! We heard very little from the Summer kingdom. Will we learn more about it in the next two books?
Oh yes! The Kingdom of Summer is actually a HUGE part of Book 2. Their princess, Ceridwen, becomes integral to the story and Meira's life. She's one of my favorite characters—think Meira's snark, but meaner. Ceridwen tells it like it is.
Oh, my! Meira is a pepper, so I can't even imagine Ceridwen. Do you have any other series planned for the future?
I have a few things in the works, but nothing set yet. The SNOW LIKE ASHES trilogy is the center of my little world right now!
Rapid Fire Questions
Plotter or Pantser?
Plotter! Pantsing in the fantasy genre is nigh impossible.
Favorite thing about being an author?
Readers! Meeting them, interacting with them. They are the BEST!
Coolest compliment from a reader?
At one of my tour stops, a reader showed up dressed in green and gold—the colors of Cordell. SO cool to see that!!
Would you consider writing in other genres? If so, which ones?
I would like to! I have an idea for a sci-fi novel, so hopefully someday!
Snow Like Ashes is an amazing read! Seriously, every self-respecting YA reader out there should check it out!
Sara Raasch has known she was destined for bookish things since the age of five, when her friends had a lemonade stand and she tagged along to sell her hand-drawn picture books too. Not much has changed since then — her friends still cock concerned eyebrows when she attempts to draw things and her enthusiasm for the written word still drives her to extreme measures. Her debut YA fantasy, SNOW LIKE ASHES, the first in a trilogy, comes out October 14, 2014 from Balzer + Bray. It does not feature her hand-drawn pictures.

Tell me about your experiences!
I've had the Paragard for about 3 1/2 months now. My periods are really heavy now, and I've been spotting off and on for the entire time that I've had it. I do love that I don't have to worry about getting pregnant, but the spotting is driving me insane. I'm giving it 6 months to see if it gets better.
Re: Paragard
I had it for about 8 months. My periods kept getting heavier, longer and with worse cramping. Also had random spotting. And my DH could feel the cord during sex - not good! Said if felt like something stinging him the whole time. We did a lot of research before ultimately deciding to have it removed, and found that it doesn't prevent conception, or sometimes not even implantation, it is meant to prevent the embryo from growing. There is a higher chance of ectopic pregancies as well. We had it removed, despite my dr at the time insisting there was no way hubby could feel the cord (this was the primary reason we told her - she didn't like patients doing their own research). SInce then, one of my close friends had the same problem with the cord of her Mirena. I switched back to the patch (which I had used prior to pregnancy). The patch is good, but don't use it for more than 4 years. It has a super high daily dosage of estrogen - the same amount given to women going through menopause/hormone replacement. I used it off and on for about 8 years (only off during ttc, pregnancy & the short stint with Paragaurd). Just switched this spring to a low-dose pill due to incredibly unexpected side effects from long-term patch use. After 3 months, most of my issues have vastly improved, and we are hoping to gradually wean off to hormone-free bc.
I hope this helps some!
Had one placed 6 mos pp and did have AF return until 13 mos pp. AF was not heavier or more painful than normal. But they were already pretty bad.
Discovered I was pregnant 17 mos pp and that the para guard either punctured my uterus partially ( they think they spotted it by ultrasound ) or came out and I somehow missed it.
I have had my paraguard for about a year now (inserted 6 mos PP). AF didn't come back til 2 mos after that, so i do not know if changes are just PP or IUD or both.
Insertion was not fun, very bad cramping with a needy 6 mo old...! But a couple advils and all was well. Since then no issues with the iud itself (dh cannot feel, etc).
AF is way heavier than it was pre- baby and the overall "pattern" is kind of different, but again don't know if paraguard is totally to blame. I have never had spotting. Cramping, never bad to begin with, is still totally tolerable. I DO notice "mittelschmerz" which i never did before (doc said anyone without hormonal bc is likely to have).
I love that its hormone free, AND i don't have to do anything. Even nuvaring was too much for me to remember... I have no clue how i managed to not get pg before! Nonhormonal bc has been good for the libido ;) as well
However, we are getting kind of paranoid the last couple of mos bc i have had eerily pg-like symptoms and totally freaked on DH when he said that being pg wouldnt be a bad thing... I started sobbing and explained the whole removal/likely loss thing. That possibility is really starting to weigh on me, bc not-so-deep-down we both really want #2 NOW.
Re: Paragard
I had it and absolutely loved it. It's the only BC that worked for me. No side effects whatsoever. I recently had it removed to TTC, but had absolutely NO complaints. Oh, and I had it for almost a year. I planned on using it long term, but we changed our minds on TTC :)
Re: Paragard
Had it for 7 years and loved it. No problems with it and when I had it removed, I got pregnant w/in 6 months.
It was pretty painful it have it inserted. I was crampy for a few days and then okay after that.
I did have heavier and longer periods. 6 heavy days compared to 4 medium days. I don't remember any spotting. In fact the reason that I used it was because I spotted on every type of pill I used. So one longer period was better than midcycle spotting equal to a period.
After I have Baby #2 in Jan, I'll get another paraguard.
Re: Paragard
I have had mine for two years. It works for me. I do have heavier periods and sometimes random spotting but overall my experience has been positive. I love the no hormones.
Re: Paragard
I had mine inserted 6 wks postpartum. I was (and am) breastfeeding, so AF didn't return until 9 months later. My husband complained something was poking him during sex the whole time I had it, I figured he was being a pansy. Checked it one night and felt the stem. Went to the OB the next day and it had gone up into my uterus, expelled, and gotten stuck in three places. Had to have it cut out. It wasn't painful. The couple of periods I had were longer and crampier and heavier than I've ever had. But I loved the no horomone thing. Sad that I'm on the pill now. :(
For you mamas that had the mirena removed, how much did it cost?

The UK Regions: getting past the numbers
05 March 2013
By Esmond Birnie, Chief Economist in Northern Ireland
When we refer to "the economy", we tend to focus on the UK as the sum of everything that comprises the national economy. So, if we say that growth in 2013 will be around 1.1%, we're not talking about a specific region, we're in the world of averages.
The UK economy includes 12 large regions, and the latest ONS data tells us their performance varies enormously. According to ONS, around 84% of total UK output is concentrated in the nine English regions and unsurprisingly, the largest share of UK output (43.9% in 2011) occurs in the greater South East (i.e. London, South East and East of England).
In the same period, the total output (or Gross Value Added/GVA (the measure of the value of goods and services produced in the economy, less the cost of intermediate production)) in the six other England regions amounted to 39.9% of the UK total. And the so-called devolved nations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland collectively represented 13.8% of UK output (plus a further 'Extra-Regio' 2.3% largely comprising North Sea oil and gas). If we round these percentages, the UK looks like a 44:40:16 economy in terms of the percentage shares for the greater South East, the rest of England and the three devolved administrations.
So, what have been the relative fortunes of those regions? Which are pulling ahead, or falling behind, relative to each other and the UK average? Between 1997-2011, we've seen the level of GVA per head in London jump from 156.8% of the UK average to 170.7%, and the South East increase from 104.7% to 107.2%. Conversely, over the same period, Wales declined from 78.1% to 75.2% and Yorkshire and the Humber from 89.6% to 81.6%.
Indeed, according to estimates made by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) in February 2012, only two UK regions in 2010/11 were net contributors to the UK exchequer. In London net receipts were equivalent to 10.3% of regional GVA and in the South East they totalled 0.7%. The regions with the largest deficits (proportionally) were Northern Ireland (39.3%), Wales (35.9%), North East (32.2%),the West Midlands and the North West (both at 18.4%).
All this might seem to confirm the popular notion of a growing "North South divide", but that would be a serious simplification. Firstly, there are significant exceptions. GVA per head in Scotland actually increased from 96.5% to 98.6% of the UK average during 1997-2011, and there were also significant variations in performance within each of the broad regions of the UK economy. For example, the variation between the highest and lowest parts of the London region (Inner London-West at £111,519 and Outer London East and North East at £14,027) was about 7 to 1. In contrast, the variation between the London regional average (£35,638) and Wales (£15,696) was "only" 2.3 to 1.
The argument is, that the six "rest of England" regions are losing out; they have missed out on the prosperity of the greater South East, and have neither the advantages nor the autonomy or the responsibilities of the devolved administrations. While the greater South East enjoys a relatively high aggregate GVA and the devolved nations have some measure of funding certainty through the Barnett Formula, questions remain as to how the Treasury allocates public spending to England's North and Midlands. We've reflected upon these points in our Fair Deal for the North inquiry with the Smith Institute and its recent follow up Public Services North.
Given all of this, the recent Heseltine report on growth was highly significant, suggesting that, rather than talking about UK growth policy, there needs to be a greater focus on England's North and Midlands. Heseltine suggested that local government should not be a branch office of Whitehall and there could be benefits in brigading Departmental spending funds and making them available (on a competitive basis) in the regions. All eyes are now on the March Budget and whether any of his ideas are taken forward. What is clear is that current regional disparities remain a major challenge to overall UK competitiveness and that these may not be solved without new policies – and new funding formulae. As Heseltine concludes: "...it is not the relative difference between the contributions of the different regions that matters most but the ability of all regions to grow their wealth and prosperity."

I just finished reading Chicken Soup For the Indian Soul – Book of Miracles yesterday. I am a huge fan of inspirational books and I always read as many Chicken Soup books as I can. I believe in miracles so when I saw this book, I was immediately drawn to it. I have read over 30 titles from the Chicken Soup series.
I have read the international releases as well as books from the Indian series. There is a huge difference in the quality of writing in my opinion, however, the stories are heart-warming. A lot of stories deal with the miracles experienced by the devotees of Shirdi Sai Baba and also there are a lot of references to religion (Hinduism), gods, goddesses, temples and saints.
People respond to these things differently so choose the book keeping the points mentioned above in mind. This book is definitely for you if you – believe in God, Angels, saints and miracles. This book may make more sense to Indians due to repeated references to deities and saints we hear about only in India.

Bluesnews posts a link to an article at gameinfowire.com that reports that Stormfront Studios was recently honored for creating the first graphical MMORPG in Neverwinter Nights, at the 59th Annual Emmy Technology Awards held at the CES in Las Vegas:
The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) honored Stormfront Studios at the 59th Annual Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards ceremony for creating Neverwinter Nights, the first graphical Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). The Emmy event was held at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on January 7 in Las Vegas.
Don Daglow, who led the design of Neverwinter Nights, accepted the award for Stormfront and its publishers, AOL and Wizards of the Coast. "These games are not just entertainment," Daglow said. "They build new kinds of communities and create deep people-to-people relationships. They influence people's lives in the same way as great books, inspiring movies and iconic television shows, and we're grateful to the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for this honor."
Also honored at the ceremony for developing this new genre of entertainment were Sony Online Entertainment for Everquest, and Blizzard Entertainment for World of Warcraft.
Among the presenters at the evening ceremony were Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin, and Peter Price, president and CEO of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

Top Options On Engagement Rings♫ Friday, May 29th, 2009
An unique custom engagement ring is one that is up to your own design, so it has no other twin in the world. You are the one that makes it unique by choosing the precious metals and gemstones that together will create engagement rings as your own style and interest. The following are gemstones you should choose to have unique engagement rings.
Unique Diamond Engagement Rings
Diamonds were a woman's best friend even as far back as the days of Cleopatra. The sparkle and beauty of this gem have made it one of the most popular components when constructing an unique engagement rings. With a hardness of 10 on the Mohl scale, it is the hardest gemstone found on our planet. Because a diamond is considered a traditional choice for an engagement ring, using unique engagement rings setting for a diamond will make it stand out among other rings.
Unique Ruby Engagement Ring
Since rubies are not traditionally thought of as engagement ring gemstones, by choosing a ruby you have an unusual engagement ring. The ruby is the most oft-mentioned precious or semi-precious gemstone in the English translation of the Bible. Same with the diamond, emerald, and sapphire, it is considered one of four precious stones. The price of the rubies that you intend to use in your unique engagement rings is almost all determined by the quality of the ruby's color. The red in the highest quality rubies is called Pigeon Blood Red. The rubies that contain this shade command a huge premium in price.
Unique Sapphire Engagement Ring
If ruby is not your choice, another choice of unusual engagement ring is the sapphire. With a 9 on the Mohs scale this gemstone is as hard as a ruby. It is has not only been used in jewelry but also in many other applications which include industrial uses like infrared optical components, watch crystals, and semi-conductor wafers.
Although blue is considered to be the normal color for sapphires, they can be found across a full range of colors, including colorless, white, or black. Clear sapphires usually come out of the ground as grey or brown and are heated to make them clear.
Unique Emerald Engagement Ring
Since the emerald is the birthstone for the month of May, so it would be a great choice for a May bride or May wedding to choose these gemstone for their unique engagement rings. With hardness on the Mohs for Emeralds scale is 7.5; so their brittleness is classified as quite poor. However emeralds has many color of green and blue-green. and has a large spectrum of clarity, from crystal clear to nearly opaque which rely on the inclusions and fractures in the crystal.
You are getting engaged to somebody soon and you also want to prepare an unique engagement ring, the best way is to choose gemstones which are introduced above to make the right choice of your engagement ring.

Topic: Outgassing
Please someone help me!?
My problem: Outgassing on diecast aluminum parts.
We are powder coating a diecast aluminum part that has been milled/sanded on one side. That side is the only area we experience the outgassing on. I understand that the milling/sanding is creating our problem but we are kind of stuck with it. We have tried pre-curing the diecast parts (helps a little). We have also tried an additive to the powder (OGF), which by the way did eliminate the outgassing. but also dulled the finish of the powdercoat (unexceptable) which unfortunatly is Tiger Drylacs' Extreme Chrome which is a very reflective/gloss powder. This particular powder is the only color we experience the outgassing on & we spray about 40 different colors. Is there an additive that could be added the the cleaning process (rinse take for example)? We have a 5 stage washer 1st stage alkaline cleaner, 2nd stage rinse, 3rd stage phosphate, 4th & 5th stage rinse.
Thanks for any and all suggestions.

You've written a class that extends "GenericServlet" (which contains the abstract method "service(request, response)") which you either have to implement or declare your class abstract (which is exactly what the exception says).
But, if you are writing a simple web service, you shouldn't be extending GenericServlet anyway. You should be extending HttpServlet.

Needless to say, the highlight of the
month year has been welcoming our baby boy.
The last two weeks have been an exhausting, but blissful blur of newborn snuggling, diaper changing, toddler chasing, and trying to remember if I took a shower or not. I feel like we're starting to find our rhythm (which basically means nothing, because one thing I do remember from Grace's early days is that as soon as we got comfortable, things changed — her sleeping schedule, her eating schedule, the weather, you get the point).
This may be the Universe's way of sending a message, but the things that are totally beyond my control (and therefore, the things that I am constantly worrying about) are going beautifully. Grace is the most gentle, sweet and curious older sister. We went out for a little ride earlier this week (in nearly 60 degree weather… not normal) and she kept whispering, "Look, baby Nick, more Christmas lights." And it made me so happy that I cried and ruined the moment.
On that note… here's what else I've been up to this month.
Currently | December, 2015
Currently enjoying
- Newborn baby smell — I'd be a billionaire if I could bottle this smell.
- Grace's excitement for all things Christmas
- Ridiculously warm weather
Currently listening to
- "Spirituality of Imagination," last week's episode of On Being with Krista Tippett, featuring Martin Sheen— I love this podcast. It's smart, compelling, and thought-provoking and this episode might be one of my favorites. I loved hearing the actor talk about his return to Catholicism and his commitment to activism. I laughed, I may have cried (just kidding… I did cry… I cry about any and everything these days), I tried to convince everyone I know to listen.
- Season 2 of Serial — Nick and I have listened to the first two episodes together on Thursday nights. It's both nice and sort of weird to sit around listening to audio in the same way we might watch television… like, what should I be looking at? This season is quite different from the first, but I'm already hooked.
- Adele's 21 on repeat (still)
- Christmas music (obvi)
Currently watching
- The West Wing — I don't know why I didn't watch this when it was actually airing (my whole family was obsessed), but after listening to the Martin Sheen interview mentioned above, I had to give it a try. Blessed be Netflix… we have found our next streaming addiction.
- This peaceful Santa video on YouTube that my mom shared (Grace loves it)
- And this version of my favorite Christmas jam, O Holy Night, performed by Berklee students
Currently reading
- Grace got several books for Christmas over the weekend and two, in particular, have become instant favorites: Peggy: A Brave Chicken on a Big Adventure (we originally found this at the BPL and renewed it so many times that I think the we raised some eyebrows) and Little Green Peas: A Big Book of Colors.
- Domino and Real Simple… they're like books… for people who have slept less than 2 hours per night…. Also: I feel like the RS cover is speaking directly to my unable-to-meal-plan, wardrobe-deficient soul.
- Veggies and herbs you can grow indoors during the winter months from Apartment Therapy and How to grow a winter kitchen from the Whole Foods Market Blog — because in my dreams, I am capable of keeping plants alive.
Currently loving
- My new BAMR bands — I am thrilled to be an ambassador for this fabulous brand. Each quarter, BAMR Bands donates 10% of their proceeds to a selected charitable organization benefitting women and children (past recipients have included Every Mother Counts, a favorite of mine). To receive a 10% discount on these adorable, non-slip headbands, use the code OnTap10 online.
- This month's Nature Box delivery — We've had a NatureBox subscription for a while, but this month's box is an especially good one. I tried to select items that would appeal to Nick (Spicy Sriracha Popcorn), Grace (Peanut Butter Graham Jam) and me (Guacamole Bites)… but mostly… I've been snacking on them all. For 50% off your first delivery, click here (this is a referral link, albeit a tasty one)
Currently making
- Piles of laundry everywhere — I forgot how many outfits newborns whip through in a day. Yikes.
- A painting here, a drawing there — My current m.o. is "fit in it when you can." (And try not to make too much of a mess in the process.)
- Plans for the new year — I'm oddly excited for 2016. So much changed in 2015 that I felt more reactive and less intentional. I'm looking forward to being a bit more thoughtfully engaged in the coming twelve months.
- A few holiday treats, including sparkling cranberries and "happy cakes," as Grace calls them
Also On Tap for Today:
- Visiting my sister 🙂
- 9 Edible Gifts That Everyone Will Love via Food52
- Maybe wrapping presents… maybe sleeping with my eyes open instead
What's your December currently like?

A very gallant gentleman.....he walked willingly to his death in a blizzard to try to save his comrades beset by hardships.Atkinson E.L. and Garrard Apsley Cherry
Everywhere all over Africa and South America ... you see these suburbs springing up. They represent the optimum of what people want. There's a certain sort of logic leading towards these immaculate suburbs. And they're terrifying, because they are the death of the soul ... This is the prison this planet is being turned into.James Graham Ballard
Almost everything: all external expectations, all pride all fear of embarrassment or failure. These tings just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.Steve Jobs
By the end of the decade it had become obvious that perhaps the one constant of our variegated and strung-out peer groups was a pervasive sense of self-consciousness that sent us in grouchy packs to ugly festivals just to be together and dig ourselves and each other, as if all of this meant something greater than that we were kids who liked rock 'n' roll and came out to have a good time, as if our very styles and trappings and drugs and jargon could be in themselves political statements for any longer than about fifteen stoned seconds, even a threat to the Mother Country! So we loved and loved and doted on ourselves and our reflections in each other even as the whole thing got out of hand and turned into mud and disaster areas and downs and death.Lester Bangs
The poet does not fear death, not because he believes in the fantasy of heroes, but because death constantly visits his thoughts and is thus an image of a serene dialogue.Salvatore Quasimodo
It is peoples' fantasies of what is true that is so extraordinary. That that we were born and that we face eternal extinction after death is an extraordinary fantasy.Brian Perkins
There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.Dwight David Eisenhower
To me, the thing that is worse than death is betrayal. You see, I could conceive death, but I could not conceive betrayal.Malcolm X
Someone told me sleep was the cousin of death and followin' the dollar finds nothin' but stress.Mac Miller
Within a system which denies the existence of basic human rights, fear tends to be the order of the day. Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death, fear of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood, fear of poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure. A most insidious form of fear is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man's self-respect and inherent human dignity. It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilized man.Aung San Suu Kyi
The concentration camps, by making death itself anonymous (making it impossible to find out whether a prisoner is dead or alive), robbed death of its meaning as the end of a fulfilled life. In a sense they took away the individuals own death, proving that henceforth nothing belonged to him and he belonged to no one. His death merely set a seal on the fact that he had never existed.Hannah Arendt
A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. Ideas have endurance without death.John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.Napoleon Bonaparte
In the stories about life and death, the soul often floats above the goodbye moment, hovering over police cars at highway accidents, or clinging like a spider to hospital room ceilings. These are people who receive a second chance, who somehow, for some reason, resume their place in the world. Eddie, it appeared, was not getting a second chance.Albom, Mitch

In 10 powerful stories, Victoria Hislop takes us through the streets of Athens and into the tree-lined squares of Greek villages. As she evokes their distinct atmosphere, she brings vividly to life a host of unforgettable characters, from a lonesome priest to battling brothers, and from an unwanted stranger to a groom troubled by music and memory. These bittersweet tales of love and loyalty, of separation and reconciliation, captured in Victoria Hislop's unique voice, will stay with you long after you reach the end. Three of these stories appeared previously published in Victoria Hislop's collection, One Cretan Evening.

Very Short Stories
I like Victoria Hislop's novels and look forward to her next book but I was disappointed with these stories as they were too short.
"The last dance and other stories"
Stories where good but too short, I enjoyed them and listening to them but just not long enough as just as you got into the story it would end. Some good full length books here just waiting to be finished.

I made a working site running on my PC with Uniserver and Drupal 5.2, upgraded to 5.6.
I copied the drupal files to the live site by FTP (I tried to install with Fantastico but it appeared not to work).
Then I managed to import my database, and can see the front page of my site (hooray!).
But none of the links work. I get a message like:
The requested URL /~[username]/drupal/node/5 was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Drupal is installed in /public_html/drupal
http://[ip-address]/~[username]/drupal shows me my front page.
I think there's a (separate?) problem here, in that I think I'll need the front page to appear just with http://[ip-address] without the /drupal. (I haven't changed the DNS yet). I think my index.php is in a subfolder of where it should be.. but that's the location I have it on my test site on my PC where it works ok otherwise.
From reading the forum, I thought I could fix the error messages by fiddling either with .htaccess or settings.php, but I have had no luck yet. I've seen several people with the same problem, but no clear solution.
If I uncomment "RewriteEngine on" in .htaccess the error message changes to:
The requested URL /home/[username]/public_html/drupal/index.php was not found on this server.
The drupal .htaccess is in public_html/drupal, and there's a tiny ,different one, made by the hosting server in public_html.
Any ideas? I'm not sure what information I should provide.
Thanks very much if you can point me in the right direction!
$base_url in settings.php
Have you tried to set the $base_url in your settings.php (can be found in sites/default) to:
- you would need to change this as soon as you changed your DNS.
sorry overlooked something
did you also try it with public_html in there between the username and drupal?
Could you tell me the IP
Could you tell me the IP address (c2uk [at] gmx [dot] de - or contact me through drupal), so that I could have a quick look myself, I'd especially like to investigate these to occurrences:
If I go to http://[ip address] then I see the text of my home page but with no css applied to it
If I go to http://[ip-address]/index.php then I see the proper front page, but as I say none of the links work:
I'm off now for some time, might be back later and have a look then.
I see you're solving all
I see you're solving all your problems on your own, well done indeed!
Thanks for your comments
Normally, you should be able to get drupal up and running and even a decent website without going into too much techy stuff, but your case seems a little bit strange.
1. index.php with css vs. / and no css:
For some absolutely odd reasons, your base url in index.php is correct: /~rutlandb/ but in the one where it doesn't work it is "/rutlandb/drupal/" - I've got absolutely no idea where this might be coming from or how this might be even possible, your htaccess seems to be fine. This might have to do with drupal caching, have you by any chance enabled this in admin/settings/performance?
1.a) on the band gallery, the links use the IP address.
2. page not found:
When not using clean urls, i.e. using index.php?q=node/2 for example, you get the right destination, that might indicate that your host doesn't support mod rewrite, try deactivating it by going to index.php?q=admin/settings/clean-urls - hope you are logged in, if not you need to uncheck clean urls before you export your database from your local setting.
- forget it, this seems to work now, well done!
Edit: I just see, yes the rewrite base url, forgot this one, shame on me! I remember now, I had the same exact problem a couple of months ago with a new website of mine...
just enable rewrite module
Hi, just enable apache2 rewrite module and everything will be ok.
I had a similar problem and
I had a similar problem and have been struggling with it for the last few hours.
When I built my Drupal installation a year ago, I developped everything on my local PC, then moved the site in production, accessible to anyone. I added little by little more stuff to it (I customized the template, added more content type, etc). But everything I did was no accessible to users that were not admins, so (I know it's not the best practice, but!) I made my changes directly in production.
But for the latest updates I needed to do, I had to make the changes on a development installation before putting everything in prod. I exported my drupal installation folder, exported and imported my database, modified my settings.php and .htaccess files, ran update.php. I then accessed my front page with my template and everything. Then I tried to see another page: URL not found. I then guessed that the problem was coming from the paths (I recalled using the ?q= when developping at first.). I thought this module was the path module and path auto (which was not..... darn!).
Seeing your post made me remember that it was clean urls. Thanks for the link. Deactivated it, then it all works flawlessly.
Thank a ton
I have been looking for this for days and finally it is here.
Thank a lot.
For my case, I just go back to development site and go to admin/settings/clean-urls and disable the clean URLs. Then re-export database and then import it to the production site.
It is ok now.
Thank a lot tdimg.
if site is in offline mode..
just wanted to add that if site is in offline (maintenance) mode it may also prevent things from working
in my d6 install on my web server, i tried exporting things back to my localhost, but it was not working, so i fix it by:
-turning clean-urls off
-putting the site back in online mode
-re-exported the db with the new above configs and imported to my localhost.
-commenting and disabling the line in settings.php the domain/base url is specified.
# $base_url = 'http://example.com'; // NO trailing slash!
-may also need to remove/rename the .htaccess file in your localhost.
note: this post was high ranked on google (so it's easy to find) and had some useful info, but still my case was a bit different.
So this should help anyone with similar issues or Just in case i forget and mess up again :)
The requested URL was not found on this server
I have the same problem can you tell me exactly , what we will do , so wy site link works properly
Please...Help Me...
SO MANY ERRORS and now 2 sites down... I really need help here!
I guess i should post this in a new issue instead of here - sorry

Gazprom, Conpet Build New Pipeline from Serbian NIS Oil Refinery to Romania
The joint venture will build a 320 km-long new pipeline linking the Pancevo refinery of NIS with the existing pipeline from Constanta to Pitesti in Romania
Russia's state-owned oil and gas major Gazprom plans to construct an oil pipeline linking Romanian Black Sea port of Konstanta to a refinery near Pancevo, Serbia, controlled by Gazprom majority-owned Naftna Industrija Srbije (NIS). Gazprom will work on the pipeline together with Romanian state-owned oil and oil derivatives system operator Conpet.
"This year we had more meetings on this issue, the last time we met with people from Gazprom in July", Liviu ILAS, general manager of Conpet said, as quoted by Romanian business daily Ziarul Financiar. A feasibility study is expected to kick off soon.
According to Mr. Ilas, the project is "basically an extension of the existing pipeline from Constanta to Pitesti, with a new 320 km pipe reaching NIS refinery in Pancevo, Serbia. 280 km of the newly constructed pipeline would be in Romania. The value of the investment will most likely exceed EUR 200 million, Mr. Ilas said.

Media & Press — Allure's Best of Beauty
An incredibly sweet editor over at Allure alerted me about the 31 Days of the Best of Beauty, which celebrates Allure's annual Best of Beauty Awards. When I read about it, I thought, "How great – sign up and you get access to a bunch of beauty tips, recommended skincare regimens, etc. I'll definitely check it out!"
Then the editor sent photos of Rancho La Puerta, which got me really excited. A trip for two to Rancha La Puerta – complete with beauty treatments, meals, and fitness activities – is one of the prizes. More importantly, it looks and sounds incredibly heavenly – and like the perfect girls getaway! Umm…that totally convinced me – and it should convince you too! Plus, you can also win daily beauty packages from L'Occitane. What are you waiting for? Check it out now!

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has riled his centrist and liberal critics by declaring that he won't release the names of the applicants for a new seat on the Kansas Court of Appeals.
But a bigger issue fuels the angst of Brownback's critics. They see the changes for the state's second-highest court as part of a larger campaign to ensure that GOP conservatives take over the state's appellate courts.
Under a law that took effect this month, Brownback will appoint Court of Appeals judges, subject to Senate confirmation. In the old system — still in place for the Kansas Supreme Court — a statewide commission screened applicants and named three finalists, with no role for legislators after the governor's appointment.
The nominating commission served as a check on the governor's power.

low wrote:Hi Tanin,
Are you sure that the government allow us to keep bird of paradise? Where do you get this piece of news? Care to share.
Hello Low,
I just based on the list of species in the new Act. In Act 76, they are listed under totally protected which need special permit to keep. However, under Act 716, they are listed as 'Protected' only, which mean... it will use the normal KPM24A to keep.
Having said that, it is not as easy as I said... since, for a shop to issue receipt to us, they must obtain the bird legally and not though smuggling. Without proper receipt, we cannot just walk to PERHILITAN office and request for KPM24A license...

Woodburn K-9 Max dies after illness
Woodburn Police Departments K-9 named Max passed away on Jan. 31 due to gastric dilatation-volvulus, commonly known as bloat.
Bloat is a disease characterized by a dilated stomach commonly found in large dogs that leads to serious life-threatening complications, according to Woodburn Pet Hospitals Patrick Paradis, D.V.M. (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine).
Its a condition in big dogs where their stomach gets bloated, said Paradis. Either they get a twist in their stomach or part of their gastrointestinal track leads to the stomach dilating. They can die from it if they dont get surgery to correct it. Its an emergency situation that needs to be remedied right away.
The city of Woodburns communications coordinator Jason Horton stated that Woodburn Police officer Zach Williams watched as the condition began, however it was a severe case where the dog could not be saved.
Max, a Belgian Malinois, began his service in February 2009 with Williams, who was his handler and partner.
While the loss of one of our officers, whether human or K-9 is always emotional, we take great pride in their commitment to their profession and the manner in which they perform it, said Interim Police Chief Doug Garrett in a prepared statement. Max made us all proud.
While Max worked as a WPD protection and tracking dog, he was deployed more than 90 times, had 35 captures, served on WPDs Tactical Services Unit, participated in community and educational events and provided safety and security for WPDs officers and Woodburn citizens.
Maxs job was to put himself in harms way in order to protect his handler and officers, said Horton. He had the responsibility of going in first to locate or apprehend subjects who would do whatever it took to get away from, or hide from law enforcement.
Walmart, Hillyers Mid-City Ford, OGA Golf Course and private donation contributions helped WPD purchase Max and allowed Woodburn to continue to offer a K-9 program.
A large part of this investment is because of the effectiveness demonstrated by Max and passed on to those K-9s that came on after him, said City Administrator Scott Derickson in a recent blog on the city website. Max served the Woodburn community well.
After Maxs passing, WPD has two police K-9 units, Rudy and Grizz. Max will be replaced by a new K-9 that will go through the mandatory training required for deployment in the field at an unspecified time. Officer Williams will then be the dog handler of WPDs new K-9.

Bigger could be better for Bluffton offense
The offensive linemen pleaded with Ken Cribb last season.
Bluffton High was moving the ball with ease and scoring at will, but the Bobcats' blockers were getting tired of pass protection. They wanted to fire off the ball and dominate opposing fronts.
In short, they wanted their coach to call more run plays.
Cribb hated to disappoint them, but it was hard to argue with the offense's results. Behind quarterback C.J. Frazier and receivers Marquis Webber and Demetrius Smalls, Bluffton made a third consecutive state semifinal.
"I'd much rather run the ball," junior guard Josh Darrell said. "We told (Cribb), but he said we've got to use our weapons."
The linemen may get their wish in the fall.
Frazier, Webber and Smalls are set to graduate, replaced by running quarterback Alex Davis and a set of bigger receivers. Darrell and center Darren Lunde are the returning starters on the largest line in Cribb's four years at Bluffton.
Darrell, the right guard, entered spring practice at 6 feet, 1 inch, and 292 pounds. Left tackle Tyler Knight is 6 feet, 275 pounds, left guard Taylor Gordon is 6-2, 275 pounds, and right tackle Dylan Wilson is 6 feet, 240 pounds. Lunde is the smallest starter at 6-1, 215 pounds.
Cribb doesn't plan to become a run-first team, necessarily, but his personnel does suggest Bluffton won't be as pass-heavy next season. He said he intends to have a balanced approach.
The Bobcats threw for 3,240 yards and rushed for 2,227 in 2012. During Cribb's first season in 2010 — a year before he moved to a pistol alignment — Bluffton threw for 1,743 yards and rushed for 3,122.
"With that size and strength, with the running backs we have and the running quarterback we have, I think they're getting antsy about moving the ball on the ground a little bit," Cribb said of his linemen. "I want to stay as balanced as we possibly can."
Despite their size, Cribb said all of the offensive linemen are good athletes. He noted Gordon has been a lacrosse player and Wilson has played baseball.
Darrell is a college prospect who said he has been visited by Kansas State, Wofford and the Citadel. He plans to take a visit to the Citadel next month.
Bluffton loses three starters up front in Austin Chittum, Yerko Castedo and Pearce Freeman.
"We lost a lot of key players, but we've gained a lot of bigger and stronger players." Darrell said. "We've got a lot more power and speed."
Those attributes will be on display when Bluffton hosts its annual spring game Friday. Still, Cribb won't say how much power running and option football he will unleash at Bobcat Stadium.
It appears the linemen will have to keep on asking him.
"They keep looking at me and saying, 'We're going to run the ball more, right, coach?'" Cribb said. "A lot of people are anxious to see that option part of what we're going to do, but I'm going to keep them guessing."
What: Bluffton High spring game
When: 6 p.m. Friday
Where: Bobcat Stadium

Mutual fund companies rely on economies of scale to generate profits. In theory, it doesn't cost much more to manage $500 million than $50 million, so the greater the assets, the greater the profits to fund companies.
We asked our mutual fund panel what it takes to start up a mutual fund. Richard Gates, a portfolio manager for TFS Capital and one of its founders, broke down the costs and believes that a fund needs between $10 and $15 million under management just to cover operating expenses.
At $50 million under management, the fund would generate about $500,000 for the fund's adviser. That money could be used to pay portfolio managers, analysts, compliance officers and lawyers.
TFS Capital has two mutual funds as part of its money management business. The TFS Market Neutral Fund, up 8% a year over the last three, has $466 million under management. The younger, and much smaller, TFS Small-Cap Fund has only $2 million under management. Because TFS Capital uses a fulcrum fee, where the managers are paid based on performance, the firm's economics are a bit more complex than the average shop's.
The Forbes mutual fund panelists are:
Daniel P. Wiener, editor of Independent Adviser for Vanguard Investors and CEO of Adviser Investments.
Adam Bold, founder and chief investment officer of the Mutual Fund Store.
Richard Gates, portfolio manager for TFS Capital.
Mutual Fund Start-Up Costs
Gates: I believe the operating costs for a start-up mutual fund is about $150, 000 to $225,000 a year, excluding fees paid to the portfolio manager. This would cover the minimum fees that many service providers (including the administrator, accountants and custodian) charge. So, if your expense ratio is 1.5%, you need between $10 to $15 million just to cover the core operating expenses. Of course, the portfolio manager would only break even if he/she received no compensation for his/her efforts and investment in establishing the fund.
Assuming the same expense ratio of 1.5%, $50 million in assets under management would generate $750,000 in revenue. Of that, I think approximately $250,000 could be expected to be used for core-operating costs. The adviser would receive the residual $500,000 or so. With those monies, the adviser would need to pay their portfolio managers, analysts, legal, compliance and other costs associated with managing the fund.
Wiener: Rich, aren't there a lot of other costs such as (1) cost to establish the fund in the first place, which would need to be amortized, and (2) shareholder communications and telephone reps, etc.?
Gates: There are complex costs to establish a fund, but they're not as daunting as one might expect. It basically boils down to a lot of legal/administration (initial board meetings, prospectus prep, etc.). I think we paid about $25,000.
There are even cheaper avenues now, as a start-up fund could join an existing trust (such as Direxion) which reduces start-up costs a bit, and you can share costs like directors, insurance, etc.
The fund does have ongoing costs for telephone reps (which is basically part of the transfer agent service) and printing/postage for shareholder communications. Those costs are largely variable and driven by the number of accounts. They're included in the figure below ($150,000 to $225,000), which assumes you're paying the minimum transfer agent fee because you have not surpassed the threshold for the minimum number of accounts. At $500 million in assets, transfer fees and printing/postage alone could be $250,000. Per-account minimum investment requirements ensure that you will make enough to cover all of these per-account fees.
I think the annual reports now require that these fees all be detailed. So, I think anybody could get the exact costs for accounting, administration, transfer agent, distribution, compliance, etc. for any fund.
TFS Capital's mutual funds use Ultimus Fund Solutions for their administration and transfer agent services. We really like them.

Composite decking is a technique in home making that requires constructing decks with the usage of recycled materials. These materials involve an aggregate of environment friendly materials like plastic, fibers and wooden. Regularly producers add pigment and preservatives on this mixture, which are then baked into board shapes and cooled. Below are mentioned few simple steps that need to be used to get the pleasant effects while cleansing and maintaining composite timber decking materials.
Remove stains on composite decks first!
Use oxalic, citric or phosphoric acid-primarily based cleaners to do remove rust stains from metal fixtures. These will also remove leaf stains. Some company specializes in manufacturing composite wood materials and solution provider for composite timber decking.
Preparing the composite deck:
Sweep particles like leaves, twigs and dirt off the deck first. Then rinse off the composite lumber to cool it off and remove heavy built up deposits of dust. Rinsing off the composite deck first will cool the floor and save you with the possibility of flash drying the composite cleanser while it's implemented. Additionally moist down flowers and grass around the deck and if required, cover plants , grass, concrete and any other areas you do not want the composite purifier getting on.
