Atlanta police are trying to figure out who is responsible for a shooting that sent people running in all directions Monday.
It happened shortly before noon near Joseph E Lowery Blvd and Joseph Boone Blvd.
Investigators said a Georgia State trooper stopped at a shopping center when he heard gunfire.
Police said the scene was chaotic.
The trooper called for backup and more than a dozen officers responded.
Detectives found several bullet casings and a gun at the scene.
"At least two people have an altercation and were engaged in gunfire with each other. No officers were involved, but we are not sure if anyone was struck or not because no one presented themselves to a hospital or to us needing treatment," said Sgt Greg Lyon.
Investigators are hoping witnesses will provide descriptions of the shooters.

Come observe the celestial bodies above the High Line. On Tuesday evenings through the end of the month, the Amateur Astronomers Association will set up their high-powered telescopes to provide visitors an opportunity to get an up-close-and-personal look at the stars and planets. Stargazing on the High Line is a free program, so take advantage of one of the final three opportunities of the season.
High Line Photographer Oliver Rich took this photo earlier in the season using a tripod and a long exposure to capture the movement of people while keeping the stationary objects tack-sharp. Thank you, Oliver, for this wonderful image!
For more about this program and our other upcoming programs for adults and kids alike, visit the High Line Events page.
We are keeping our fingers crossed that the rain and clouds will break for tomorrow's stargazing session on the High Line. If the weather permits, you'll be able to see a rare astronomical event called the Transit of Venus.
At approximately 6:00 PM, the planet Venus will begin to pass directly between the Sun and the Earth. The last Transit of Venus took place in June of 2004, and projections show it won't be visible again until the year 2117!
Learn more after the jump.

RE: Brayton burials North Burial Ground- Warren RI
That is so kind of you to offer! Unfortunately I live about 1500 miles away right now :( We are moving back in the fall. I'll try searching the rear right, once I get there, if I can beat the leaves! Thank you so much

Brayton burials North Burial Ground- Warren RI
Referencing memorials # 9427890 Roby Estabrook Brayton and # 9427733 Capt James Wheaton Brayton.
I am a descendant through son Benjamin and an avid Brayton researcher. I have visited this cemetery several times, but have not been able to locate these stones. Do you have any record of where they might be in the grounds?
Side note: their great grandson, Oscar Luther Brayton (a Civil War veteran) is my g-g-grandfather. For my dad's birthday a few years back I took him to Oscar's grave, which I had recently located. We are a morbid bunch, he said it was the best bday present. I'd love to take him to Captain James' grave this year!

RE: Joseph Bucklin Jr.
I finally created a memorial for him even though I'm aware that this should be avoided if the burial location is unknown...Feel free to link your family to him! His memorial number is 131364741. My line continues with his marriage to Alice Woods Joslin (who by the way was the daughter of Capt'n Peter's third wife). Alice is memorial #131364998. My information comes from the History of Waitsfield (VT) which is where later branches of the Joslin family settled.
My grandmother's 3x great grandfather was Nathaniel Joslin (1729-1806)memorial #55754517 and his first wife Martha Wheeler Fairbanks memorial #6238467.
Her 2x great grandfather was Joseph (1753-1819) whom I linked to memorial #90236826 (there's a duplicate) and his wife Dorothy Osgood memorial 90237704.
Her great grandfather was Joseph memorial #90237996 (again there's a duplicate). His third wife, Abigail Taylor was her great grandmother.
Her grandfather was Almon (1819-1911).
Do our lines coincide with any of the other generations?
Thanks! Ginni

Living with Mother, Series 2 Episode 3 of 4
Apparently you're only allowed to live in your beach chalet for the summer months, but Pip and Tilly are broke and decide to stay in their chalet, Sandy Belle, over winter to save money on renting in town.
It's all Tilly's idea. Pip is beside himself with worry. Terrified the police will catch them, he's forced to hide old Pru - his beloved car - in the sand dunes. He's so miserable - hiding away as if they're criminals. However he soon discovers that all is not lost when he receives something unexpected in the post...
Writing about the first series of Living with Mother, Radio Times described it as "Alexander Kirk's astutely-observed comedy series...underpinning each of these tales is a bittersweet poignancy, a moment when the easy laughs are replaced with a lip-trembling insight into the vulnerability, lack of self-confidence and interdependency".
Tilly ..... Alison Steadman
Pip ..... Tom Goodman-Hill

Our hearts are heavy to report that singer Natina Reed, formerly of R&B trio Blaque, was struck by a vehicle and killed on Friday night (Oct. 26).
Reed, 32, was walking across a major roadway in Lilburn, Ga., CNN reports, when she was hit by a vehicle at approximately 10:30 PM ET. The driver, who hasn't been charged in the incident, called 911 while the passenger attempted CPR on the singer, unfortunately to no avail: Reed was pronounced dead at the Gwinnett Medical Center shortly thereafter.Reed rose to fame when she was discovered by TLC's Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes as a member of Blaque, going on to score hit singles with 'Bring It All to Me' and 'I Do' in 1999 before starring in cheerleading flick 'Bring It On.' Lopes herself died tragically in a car accident in Honduras in 2002. Reed is survived by her 10-year-old son, Tren, with former boyfriend, rapper Kurupt.Our thoughts are with Reed's family, friends and fans in this achingly difficult time. May she rest in peace.

World Wetlands Day 2010 -- Slovenia
WWD 2010 World Wetlands Day – Nature walk along the Mura River
This year we celebrate ten years since the first nature walk took place along the Mura River with 15 participants of NGO Tabrih, which endeavours to preserve the natural and cultural heritage. It`s been ten years since the idea was born to include Mura River on the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance. What is the situation after 10 years?
With this opening speech we attracted over 400 hikers to the nature walk along the Mura River in Mota/Cven on 31st of January, which was exceptional this year. Exceptional because it was attended by friends of Mura River not only from Prekmurje, Prlekija, Gorenjska, Štajerska and other parts of Slovenia, but also from Austria, Hungary and Croatia.
During the walk we observed former river beds, we crossed the Mura River two times on a ferry and we exchanged a lot of thoughts and forged new ideas for future cooperation.
After ten years of organized nature walks on World Wetlands Day, it is realistic to declare this event traditional, not only for people eager on nature walks but also as one of the first New Year`s meetings of people dealing with environmental protection.
This year's slogan of WWD 2010 "Caring for wetlands: an answer to climate change" will further reflect in Pomurje region if we won`t be able to protect the Mura River floodplain with all kinds of wetlands: flooded woodland, side-channels, abandoned oxbows, marshes, periodical puddles, wet meadows, reeds, gravel beds and sand banks.
Mura River with its floodplain between embankments represents the green oasis among the intensive cultivated arable land on both sides. With its everyday environment Mura River regulates the microclimate of the Murska plain, irrigated by rain with only 800 ml of rain per year. The loss of this floodplain, its decreasing and drainage could bring accelerated effects of climate change in Pomurje region and even drought and desertification.
Message from the Ramsar office in Gland is clear and unambiguous. We have already lost too many wetlands in Europe. It is time to save and protect the remaining ones for the future generations. The Rivers Mura, Drava and Danube with their river basin form the Europe aorta. The efforts of people from countries through which these rivers flow should therefore be applauded. Croatians and Hungarian already achieved this aim – last year the Prime Ministers signed a declaration to establish a Trans-Boundary UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that will protect their shared biodiversity hotspot along the Rivers Mura, Drava and Danube. Will the governments of Austria, Slovenia and Serbia succeed? According to the hikers at World Wetlands Day 2010 in Mota/Cven, Slovenia, that would be a noble act for the future.

Epilepsy Reveals the Brain in Action
It's common sense: If you want to study the brain, open it up and take a look. That's not an opportunity scientists often get. One rare exception: patients with severe epilepsy, who volunteer their time as research subjects in the course of their treatment.

A 3-year-old boy shot himself in the foot Wednesday with a semi-automatic weapon he found in his parents' bedroom. The family in Colorado is likely reeling after their toddler found the gun in the home and accidentally fired it through his extremity while Mom was in the other room.
I don't think it's too far-fetched to assume that the gun was not locked up, since the toddler was able to access it, and that it was loaded, since it'd really be something if this kid knew how to load a weapon as a pre-schooler.
Currently, the child's been in surgery all day and is in stable condition. As the investigation continues, police are figuring out whether or not the parents should face charges.
As most mothers know, toddlers can get into anything in the blink of an eye. You turn your back for one minute and suddenly, poof, your makeup bag is overturned and there's a massive, abstract art piece on your wall created from bright nail polishes and matte lipsticks.
What this toddler found, though, wasn't as innocent, which raises a lot of questions. Why wasn't the gun locked up? Why was the gun loaded? Why was the gun somewhere a 3-year-old could access? And finally, should the parents be charged with a crime?
This accident was avoidable, plain and simple. If you're going to keep a semi-automatic handgun in the house, you have a responsibility to keep it out of the hands of someone, like your child, who may inadvertently shoot themselves. Owning a gun is a right, but with that right comes the burden of accountability.
The Department of Human Services is also investigating the case and I'll be curious to hear their findings. Obviously, with these few details, it's hard to make the call, and while having parents in jail isn't going to help this child who's now severely injured heal any faster, I do think they should be held accountable in some way.
Community service? Speaking engagements about gun safety? Volunteering at a gunshot victims' medical center?
Thankfully it's not up to me to decide which punishment fits the crime, but I do hope that there are, in fact, some consequences.
What do you think?
Photo via gcfairch/Flickr
they should absolutely be charged. it's irresponsible as both a gun owner and a parent to leave a loaded gun where anyone can get to it, let alone a toddler. i'm glad that the outcome wasn't worse for this child, but his parents need to learn some responsibility.
also i just want to add that i find it *highly* suspicious that a member of the military (as is implied in the original article) would be so laissez-faire about the storing of their weapon, and even moreso around their own toddler child.
From the comments dad's a soldier. Could be why.
Dad the soldier should know how to properly lock up his firearms... not sure why this is an excuse. Soldiers are well-trained, so that makes it worse.
I'm not exactly sure what a good punishment for this would be or if it even should require a punishment but I don't think that jailtime is the answer. I'm just SO glad the child survived this...

Two border patrol agents involved in high profile shootings are off the hook. The Justice Department will not pursue criminal charges against two agents who shot and killed two people in separate incidents in 2011.
A week after a mural is painted on a Douglas wall, the border patrol agent who shot and killed Carlos LaMadrid is cleared of any wrongdoing.
"Whatever he did, he did not deserve to get shot in the back," said Juan Carlos Madrid.
LaMadrid reportedly ran away from a traffic stop in 2011 after police saw him loading bundles of drugs into his vehicle. Investigators say someone was throwing rocks and that's when an agent opened fire killing him.
"I believe that our agents are properly trained," said border patrol union president, Art Del Cueto. "They're out there in an area that everybody knows it's a dangerous area."
Just a couple of months before that, a border patrol agent shot and killed Ramses Barron Torres. That agent is also off the hook. It happened in Nogales in January 2011 when authorities say he was throwing rocks at agents who were trying to stop a drug smuggling operation.
The Justice Department issued a statement. "There is insufficient evidence to disprove the agent's claim that he shot him in self-defense because Torres was throwing rocks over the border fence and ignored the agent's commands to stop."

PhD, University of California at Berkeley, Ancient History
BA, University of Washington at Seattle, Classics, magna cum laude
Are you struggling to remember the third declension? Are verb endings keeping you up at night? Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with you. You're just learning Latin or Greek! Trust me, it's part of the process. Nothing worth learning comes easily.
I've recently finished a PhD in Ancient History at Berkeley and languages have occupied a great deal of my time. I've learned to read Latin, Greek, Coptic Egyptian, French, Italian and German and to speak Modern Standard Arabic as well as the colloquial Arabic dialect of Egypt. No, I'm not boasting (okay, maybe a little). What I'm saying is that I have a great deal of experience with language and I know what you're going through!
My historical expertise is in Roman history, Greek and Roman Egypt, and environmental history. I'm fascinated by how people in the preindustrial past used and managed natural resources, particularly water, and altered their environments over the centuries. Luckily, Egypt's dry desert sands preserved hundreds of thousands of handwritten Greek documents on papyrus (a type of ancient paper), which offer a unique insight into the daily lives of regular people in antiquity.
Throughout my undergraduate and graduate career language has been part of my daily routine. So if you're having trouble with Latin or Greek and need to spend some one-on-one time with an experienced instructor and language-learner, click on the "schedule now" button and let's set up an appointment. I can help you with anything from elementary grammar to advanced translation, as well as help you to prepare for national exams in either language. I've taught Latin several times here at Berkeley and can introduce you to all the strategies that have worked for my students in the past. There's no single strategy that works for everyone but I can help you find what works best for you.
I also have considerable experience as a writing teacher. If you would like help organizing an argumentative history essay, I would love to work with you. The formal academic style may seem difficult at first but it gets easier, believe me. It's a skill: the more you practice, the better you'll get!

CIA's Covert War in Laos - Article at DOX magazine
"Eberles documentary takes us from this first encounter to the construction at Long Chen of a centre of industrialized death-from-above. He does it at a break-neck speed, clearly aiming to push a complex history through the 45 minute window of television documentaries. But he succeeds, primarily by keeping the focus on the story of Long Chens transformation from a bit of forest in the middle of nowhere, into the centre of a covert death machine on the western flank of the Vietnam war."
"The Most Secret Place on Earth does its best to communicate the horrors suffered as a war machine, built in the shadow of a larger war. Still, it is hard not to feel that this something beyond human comprehension. The secret war is, as the film implies, an ancestor of todays U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. But far from being the mold which contemporary wars were forged, the film depicts a war that is a nightmarish synthesis of total war and colonialism, a war in which two of the mist deadly manifestations of twentieth century violence culminate."

Farm group seeks U.S. halt on "dangerous" crop chemicals
(Reuters) - A coalition of more than 2,000 U.S. farmers and food companies said Wednesday it is taking legal action to force government regulators to analyze potential problems with proposed biotech crops and the weed-killing chemicals to be sprayed over them.
Dow AgroSciences, a unit of Dow Chemical, and Monsanto Co. are among several global chemical and seed companies racing to roll out combinations of genetically altered crops and new herbicides designed to work with the crops as a way to counter rapidly spreading herbicide-resistant weeds that are choking millions of acres of U.S. farmland.
Dow and Monsanto say the new chemical combinations and new crops that tolerate those chemicals are badly needed by corn, soybean and cotton farmers as weeds increasingly resist treatments of the most commonly used herbicide - glyphosate-based Roundup.
"They (farmers) need this new technology," said Dow AgroScience Joe Vertin, global business leader for Dow's new herbicide-protected crops called "Enlist."
But critics say key ingredients in these new herbicides - 2,4-D for Dow and dicamba for Monsanto - already are in use in the marketplace and have proved damaging to "non-target" fields because they are hard to keep on target. Wind, heat and humidity can move the chemical particles miles down the road, damaging gardens, crops, trees. Many farms have suffered significant damage in recent years even though the chemicals are currently sprayed under tight restrictions.
"These are the most dangerous chemicals out there," said John Bode, a Washington lawyer hired by the Save Our Crops Coalition. Bode served as assistant Secretary of Agriculture in the Reagan administration.
Unlike many other protestors of new biotech crops, the coalition comprises many grower groups that use and support biotechnology. This is not a biotech complaint, they say, but one focused on the danger of the chemicals to be used with the biocrops.
"The danger that 2,4-D and dicamba pose is a real threat to crops...nearly every food crop," said Steve Smith, director of agriculture at Red Gold, the world's largest canned tomato processor, and a leader of the Save Our Crops Coalition.
The coalition represents more than 2,000 farmers and groups such as the Indiana Vegetable Growers Association, the Ohio Produce Growers and Marketers Association, and major food processors Seneca and Red Gold.
Over the last four years, more than $1 million in damages have been filed in lawsuits and insurance claims by Midwestern growers who have suffered crop losses due to 2,4-D and dicamba that has drifted onto their farms, Smith said.
Those losses would increase with the new herbicide-tolerant crops because farmers would then be spraying more of the herbicides and later in the growing season, the coalition says.
In their legal petitions, the group is asking the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to conduct an environmental impact study on the ramifications of a release of a new 2,4-D tolerant corn that is to be accompanied by Dow's new herbicide mix containing both 2,4-D and glyphosate. It wants a similar environmental impact statement on the dicamba and glyphosate herbicide tolerant crops being developed by Monsanto.
The coalition is also demanding the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conduct a Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) meeting and appoint advisors to the panel to address herbicide spray drift.
The legal petitions are provided for as part of the regulatory process and require a response from the agencies before petitioners can file suit to force a response.
Dow's plans to roll out as early as 2013 its 2,4-D tolerant corn and new 2,4-D based herbicide as the "Enlist Weed Control System" is a hot button issue for many groups because of high profile problems in the past with 2,4-D, which was a component of Agent Orange defoliant used in Vietnam.
A separate petition started by the Center for Food Safety says that 2,4-D, will "likely harm people and their children, including farmers, and the environment" and says USDA has not properly assessed the impacts of Dow's plan for a new 2,4-D based crop system.
Dow AgroSciences executives say the fears are unwarranted as their herbicide formulation does not have the problematic "drift" and volatility problems that other 2,4-D formulations have that cause farms even miles away to be impacted when one farmer sprays the herbicide on his fields.
Dow says as long as farmers use their formulation under their specifications, they would not have the same problems associated with current versions of 2,4-D on the market.
"We're highly into stewardship and want to be sure the farmers get this right," said Dow spokeswoman Kenda Resler-Friend.
"Nobody wants trouble with their neighbor. They want to do the right thing." Kenda Resler-Friend.
Coalition members say no matter how good Dow's formulation might be, generic versions of 2,4-D on the market will be much cheaper and many farmers will use those more volatile versions on the new 2,4-D tolerant crops.

Ah yes, there is FDA to. Don't even get me started about that bunch of incompetent otherwise unemployable lazy low lives. It is time to stand up and say no to this terror.
To understand why this battle is so important you would need to understand the underlying factors of Chemicals and Bio-Engineering of seeds and plants.
Although the article suggests the fight is more against this dangerous chemical than the bio-crops, is a matter of opinion. The underlying facts in all this is, the bio-crops by themselves have proven to be dangerous to animals and man, with serious problems of sterility, allergies, intestinal disorders and other illnesses' associated with genetically engineered foods.
The chemical dangers are so great governments have tried to hide the dangers, hoping to somehow find a solution. In January 2011, over 4000 farms in Germany and the U.K. could not be sold because of the chemical dangers of Dioxin found in meat, eggs and cheese. This same problem reappeared in Germany and the U.K. again in April 2012, when organic eggs and pigs were found to have excessive levels of this dangerous chemical which is associated with cancer and other serious health issues for people consuming foods containing it.
In the U.S., cattle and pig farmers went bankrupt after their animals became sterile from eating grains chemically contaminated, or genetically engineered. The chemical dangers to the animals and livelihoods' of these farmers, is a reminder of the real dangers we face with these chemicals. But what about the people who ate any of the meat of these animals?
The other factors mentioned in the article have to do with the damage to the environment and other farms anywhere near areas where these deadly chemicals are used. Certified Organic farms in the areas become contaminated from the overspray of the chemical moving through the air and farmers lose millions due to the contamination. The environment when contaminated produces super weeds and insects, which call for even stronger chemicals in the future.
History has already shown these chemical companies have in the past destroyed the environment, animal and human life, directly as a result of these deadly chemicals and they want you to believe the chemicals pose no threat. Again, History has proven there is a real threat and the future of life on this planet is at stake once again.

Weather in Minecraft consists of precipitation and storms. Different weather occurs in each biome: snow falls on arctic biomes, rain falls on others, but nothing occurs in Deserts and savannas. In all biomes, weather occurs, darkening the sky and hiding the sun, stars, and moon, every 7 Minecraft days (might differ in some worlds) and continue for 15 minutes. Players who sleep in a bed during weather will wake when it ends. Rain and snow can simultaneously be seen where a snowy biome touches a non-snowy one. Players who have cheats enabled can modify the current weather if they wish, by entering the commands;
/weather clear
/weather thunder
/weather rain 60
Note: 60 is an example of a number of seconds that the weather rain will take place.
Types of weather[edit]
Rain falls in all biomes except Desert, Savanna, and snow-related (Ice Plains, Cold Taiga, etc.) biomes. It soaks Wolves, causes crops to grow, and extinguishes fires (except burning netherrack). It will not cool lava into cobblestone or obsidian. The player can hear rain that hits nearby objects.
Instead of rain, snow falls in the Ice Plains and Cold Taiga biomes. It causes water that does not have a block above it to become ice, as well as covering the top surface of all blocks exposed to the sky in the biome in snow, with the exception of transparent blocks.
During both weather conditions, dark thunderstorms might occur, during which lightning strikes and thunder rumbles. Lightning inflicts two and a half hearts of damage on normal difficulty.
Rain and snow[edit]
- Rain and snowfall are temporary but global occurrences.[1]
- During rain and snow, thunderstorms become possible.
- Rain and snow decrease the light level by 3, to light level 12 in full daylight.[2]
- Thunderstorms are much darker than normal rain, at light level 7 or less. This is dark enough to spawn hostile mobs.[3]
- Lightning creates fire where it strikes, but the rain usually puts the fire out before it can spread. This can set fire to wooden structures.
- If Lightning strikes a pig, it morphs into a zombie pigman.[4]
- If lightning strikes a creeper, it becomes a Charged Creeper and has a much more powerful explosion.[5]
- Being struck by lightning or standing near a lightning strike deals two and a half hearts of damage, not including damage from the fire.
- Villagers struck by lightning will turn into witches.
Snow only[edit]
|Rain was introduced purely for cosmetic purposes. The mechanics were simple, only testing if there is a block above to shelter the rain.
|Rain is now thinner.
|F5 now toggles rain.
|Rain can now only be toggled in Creative mode.
|The feature mentioned above was removed.
|During Alpha there was a test for snow. Generating a world during that time brings a 25% chance to get a snowy world, where ice and snow will regenerate. This feature was removed with the introduction of biomes. Despite this, mods could easily re-enable this feature by accessing the particle effects file.
|Rain and falling snow were implemented after a teaser video was released.[7] Rain looks identical to the rain in Classic, but also plays two different sound files.
|Fixed a bug where rain fell through certain blocks like glass, stairs and slabs.
|Fixed a bug where the rain seemed to freeze when climbing down ladders until you reached the bottom or changed direction, possibly indicating that you climbed at same speed as the rain fell.
|Fixed a bug where rain and snow fell underwater.
|Official release
|Weather transitioning was added.
|Console Edition
|Added rain.
|Improved the rain edges (when looking up in rain).
Issues relating to "Weather" are maintained on the issue tracker. Report issues there.
- Rain is needed for a thunderstorm to occur, even though lightning can be activated separately using mods or the command /summon LightningBolt.
- Tamed wolves will run away to shelter during a thunderstorm.
- If it is raining/snowing and you go to sleep it will most likely have stopped before you wake.
- Mobs that burn at dawn will not burn if it is raining because they are not in direct sunlight.
- Rain and Snow will still fall even if you are above the cloud layer. The rain therefore, as can happen in real life, originates in the unreachable upper cloud level represented by the blue sky between the lower clouds turning a greyer color and blocking out the sun, moon, and stars during wet weather.
- Snow and Rain are both considered the same weather effect. The appearance of rain vs. snow is dependent on biome type.
- If weather occurs in the Nether and the Void is visible, the Void will constantly flash brightly and no rain, snow, or lightning will be present.
- Villagers will go inside their houses during Rain, but when it stops, they will come outside again.
- Weather seems to have a predetermined pattern for every seed. For example, if a thunderstorm happens the second day, if you use the same seed again, it will also happen the second day in that world too.
- The sound that rain makes is generated by the particles of rain reaching the ground, rather than the event. As a result of this, one can make the aforementioned sound stop playing by turning the particles setting to minimal.
Weather darkens the sky to the extent of the sun being hidden from view.

Yes. After all, what can beat Lightly Armoured Eunuchs?
I bet 1 rep the castle is Dragonstone and the people in the boat are Edric Storm and the man who saved him from Stannis madness.
its dragonstone
I guess that means someone ows me rep
I am guessing the dragons are missing because of how much of detail and extra work needed to be made to make convincing stone dragons.
they probably though the money is better spent on something we are going to see for more than 12 seconds in the entire season.
I always imagined them like this:
And the music in the trailer really does it's job.
How were they dressed in the books? I remember imagining them with some kind of white tunic and not much else.And yes, they do have a deft hand for picking good trailer music.
I saw the trailer around 2am. My dreams were filled with it. Most haunting for me was the sight of Orell Sixskins, Tormungand scaling the wall, and wondering if Styr will be there too. Nightmares of the Long Night. Images of my local city, in twilight, with the sort of excitement of a weekday evening when you have the next few days off, oblivious to the coming night.
Also, I pictured the Unsullied more like Egyptian soldats in Rome Total War, with hats like this:
at trailer: 0:18 - 0:20 SAM THE SLAYER
But it would be far more sensible for them to be actually armored, though clearly not as heavily as the Knights and Men at Arms of Westeros.

Wow! Impressive quadruple posting Túrin, nice to see you're really excited about the new season! Have a rep cookie, you deserve it after laggily breaking the rules
I thought 9 was to be Autumn Storms or was that merely a working title? Anyway, looks like Martin is getting the fun stuff to write, thought he hated that bit though Really hope there's as strong a musical element as the titles suggest.
damn it

Episode 7 was supposed to be "Autumn Storms" then it got changed to "Chains". A few days ago GRRM said on his blog he'd changed the title and gotten a song instead. Now it makes sense. (I totally don't feel geeky after saying this..)
Interesting episode titles imo. "Valar Dohaeris" follows up the season 2 ending "Valar Morghulis", which is a nice thing if you recognize it . It also seems there are a lot more quotes and songs in the titles, very different from the previous seasons and episodes - "Dark Wings, Dark Words", "And Now His Watch Has Ended", "Kissed By Fire", "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" and "Rains of Castamere".
Should be interesting to see who Mhysa is, I'm assuming it's a name. Can't recall anyone in the books named that, anyways.
EDIT: After a quick search on the wiki, "Mhysa" is the Ghiscari word for Mother. Mother of Dragons. You get the jist.

Welcome to Our Tours! In this section, you will find information about the tour programs we offer, including the detailed itineraries, fees, and policies. You can also download forms which you will need in order to reserve a tour and enjoy the photos of our tours.
We design and develop our tour programs based on the needs of children and families first and foremost. Realizing the various needs and interests that different families may have, we offer two group tour plans with popular destinations and customized extensions of your choice. On the tours we arrange, we try to include visits to rural villages, Chinese homes, kindergartens or schools, and places where local children frequent. Some of our tours include art classes and craft activities at local children's palaces. For families who are ready for an orphanage reunion, we arrange trips to the child's home province with a visit to the orphanage where you may be able to meet with your child's caregiver or foster family. You may even be able to visit the place where your child was found.
During our China homeland tours, adults and children together experience the enchanting culture, discover the child's heritage, create positive memories of their birth country and build new friendships with people of their native land. We believe that this is the best way to help the adopted children build positive self image and gain pride in their cultural heritage.

He walks in silence though you would never know
As he cares for those he calls friend,
Inside tears fall though he would never show
Like brittle leaves from a tree in the wind.
The years have washed his dreams away
Something that life will often do,
He forgets the simplicity of a yesterday
When in a child's heart all dreams came true.
He cannot remember the last dream he had
Fearing life has played its part,
And the trials of living both happy and sad
Carve into stone where once beat his heart.
Compassion and love help our dreams become true,
And love could feel good… if he only knew.

According to the Becket Fund, there are currently 44 active cases against the Obama administration's HHS mandate requiring employers to include abortion, sterilization and abortifacients as "health care". There have been 14 for-profit companies that have filed suit; 11 of those have received temporary injunctions against implementing the mandate.
Hobby Lobby's case was denied (as were Autocam's and Conestoga Wood Specialties'.) Hobby Lobby has filed an appeal:
"Hobby Lobby will continue their appeal before the Tenth Circuit," said Kyle Duncan, general counsel for The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, representing Hobby Lobby in the case. "The Supreme Court merely decided not to get involved in the case at this time. It left open the possibility of review after their appeal is completed in the Tenth Circuit."
Duncan said Hobby Lobby will continue to provide health insurance to all qualified employees.
However, to remain true to their faith, Duncan added, "it is not their intention, as a company, to pay for abortion-inducing drugs.

OK, the buff is like a sale at the local store. If you go in to buy something you intended to purchase without discount you will not refuse the discount the sale provides. It makes it easier on your pocket-book. Refusing the discount because other people only showed up to buy stuff because of the discount is simply stupid.
In a similar manner the buff makes it easier to one shot the bosses already on farm and makes it easier to get through progression content where your raid may have previously hitting a wall. Less wipes is easier on the gold sink for repair bills and should help to shorten raid times thus limiting the expense on consumables.
If it is so important to you to make it through the progression content without the buff you still need to run with 9 or 24 like-minded individuals to help stroke your epeen till the "lootz" come out. No one else cares.

Dude, where's your car? Ask BlackLine. They've just announced the Seeker, a GPS-based vehicle recovery and tracking device.
Seeker taps into your car's battery system, with a two-wire power connection. If an unauthorized person (or persons!) moves your car outside of the security perimeter, Seeker automatically sends a text or email to the BlackLine Recovery Service. From there, the cops take over. It sounds great if you're worried about losing your ride—or at least scaring the kids straight.
The unit features BlackLine's own Aura technology, which wirelessly syncs with the included MyPass keyfob. When you're in the realm of the pre-established perimeter, Seeker automatically disarms. It also works with other BlackLine products, such as the GPS Snitch and the Blip Blackberry app.
Seeker will soon be available—starting in early 2009. It's expected to sell for $349. The BlackLine Recovery Service will run another $20 per month or $200 for the year.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
The new lineup is designed to accommodate TVs from 60 to 80 inches.

Young, Mentally Ill and Homeless
Friday, July 23, 2004
Miguel has struggled to find a safe and supportive place to live for many years. He's aged out of the foster care system, but still needs help as he's also dealing with mental illness issues. But the system is frustrating for Miguel. He moves from shelters, to the street, to his girlfriend's apartment, to assisted living environments, to hospitals, but has not managed to find a place to call home.
Migel was mentored by Jamie York.

Time and Attendance Plus is capable of doing your vacation accruals for your employees who are entitled to it. Here's a short tutorial showing you how to configure the software to do your vacation accrual calculations for you, and a brief explanation of how Time and Attendance Plus carries out the calculations involved.
Add an employment type
Vacation accruals are associated with employment types. This saves you time by allowing you to set up one vacation accrual scheme to cover a group of employees. It also allows you infinite flexibility by having one employment type per employee and having a unique vacation accrual scheme per employee. Firstly let's log into Time and Attendance Plus and go to the Tools & Options->Employment Types screen.
Click the button to add a new employment type and let's add new employment type. Just call the new employment type anything you like, but in our case we'll call it the tutorial employment type
The Vacation Accrual Screen
Time and Attendance Plus allows you to setup a vacation accrual scheme for each employment type. You can access the vacation accruals from the main options area of Time and Attendance Plus.
Let's take a look at this screen. You can select which employment type you wish to apply the vacation accrual scheme to in the drop down box at the top. You now have 6 main settings to configure for you to calculate your employees vacation accruals.
- Start Accruing Hire Date Plus - this specifies the delay (if any) after the employee is hired that Time and Attendance Plus will start accruing vacation time.
- Start With - this allows the employee to start with a non-zero balance of available vacation hours. This may be useful for workplaces that give employees vacation time in advance (ie before they have earned it).
- Accrue - this is the number of hours the employee will accrue for each time unit specified in the next setting.
- For Every - this is the time unit at which the vacation time accrues. Allowable units are hours, weeks, and months. When set to hour Time and Attendance Plus will accrue for each hour worked. When set to week Time and Attendance Plus will accrue for each week of elapsed time since the employee was hired. When set to month Time and Attendance Plus will accrue for each calendar month of elapsed time since the employee was hired.
- Stop Accruing - this allows you to set an absolute limit on the amount of vacation time that the employee can accrue.
- Carry Balance Forward Yearly - when set the employees vacation time owing at the end of one fiscal year will roll over into the next fiscal year. The fiscal year is determined by the date set on the Payroll Settings page.
Setting up a Vacation Accrual Sample
We'll now go ahead and setup a sample vacation accrual scheme for the purposes of this tutorial. Firstly select the Tutorial Employment Type from the drop down list. Then setup the parameters as shown in the image below. Note that you must check the Accrues Vacation Time checkbox to setup the parameters for the vacation accrual scheme.
In our example:
- The employee starts accruing vacation 4 weeks after the hire date.
- The employee starts with a zero balance.
- The employee accrues 13.3333 hrs of vacation time for month elapsed one month after hire date. This equates to 4 full weeks of vacation time per year for a 40.0 hour week worked.
- The employee has a maximum balance of 160 hours or 4 full 40 hour weeks.
- The balance at the end of one fiscal year carries forward to the next fiscal year. So if an employee ends the year with 40.0 hours of leave owing then they will start accruing at this amount in the next year.
Assigning the Employee Type
The last step in the process is to assign the employees to the employment type and to make sure the employee is setup to actually accrue vacation time. Click the Save button on the options page to save the changes to the vacation accrual scheme. Then select an employee from your employee list and select the Manage Employees->Edit Employee menu. When on the Edit the Selected Employee screen select the Payroll Information page.
On this screen all we need to do is to set the employment type in the drop down box to the tutorial employment type. Then make sure the Accrue Vacation Time checkbox is ticked. When this is done click the Save Employee button and our employee is now ready to accrue vacation time.
All we have done here is setup an employee to accrue vacation time. We still need to be able to report on vacation time owed and taken. Obviously we still need to enter vacation time as taken by the employee. They are a subject for a subsequent tutorial!

Meet the shopping catalog of the future
J. Crew posts its entire fall line early on Pinterest, drumming up buzz and getting an early sense of what's popular.
The company unveiled its new collection on Pinterest even before its own website and printed catalog. It gave Pinterest users a phone number and an email address for early ordering, and offered the services of its "very personal stylist team."
The move was significant enough for Bloomberg Businessweek to call it J.Crew's "catalog 2.0." And it does have the feel of the catalog business taken to the next level.
J.Crew has 65,000 followers on Pinterest, and many of them jumped in to respond. They adored the new oxford shoes coming out. "Gotta have these shoes!!!" wrote one user. They shared the "horsing around" sweatshirt 419 times, with comments like "I require this sweater immediately!"
It was a level of active interest and response that J.Crew could never see on its website or with its printed catalog. It also gave J.Crew an online focus group of sorts, as well as a sense of which new products would be immediately popular, writes Kyle Stock of Bloomberg Businessweek.
Stock also notes the "aspirational" tone to Pinterest, one that J.Crew would love to be associated with. "A pair of fancy sweatpants on J.Crew's website are just fancy sweatpants (albeit paired with gold high heels), but sweatpants on Pinterest are part of a super-saturated collage of desires that go well beyond stuff you can buy at J.Crew," he writes.
Nordstrom (JWN) and Neiman Marcus are also showing some items on Pinterest, helping the site turn from a place where you go to see trendy fashion to a place where you go to buy.
