Halloween Season 2013
Ghost Tours! We will be hosting several ghost tours at a couple wonderful, haunted locations this year. We will be at Magnolia Manor on Friday, October 18 and November 1st--and we will be the hosts of this year's Haunted Happenings event at the Woodruff Fontaine House on Friday, October 25! Both properties have their own unique stories, architecture, and type of entertainment, so we hope to see you at both! Tickets to the Magnolia Manor tours need to be purchased in advance on their website.
More Ghosts of War! With three of the six episodes now available to stream for free on the official Ghosts of War Vimeo channel, three more will be hitting over the Halloween season: Octagon Hall in Franklin, Kentucky, the Minton House in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and the Deason House in Ellisville, Mississippi. All three will feature evidence gathered during our investigation, as well as interviews with folks at the actual sites.
More Paranormal Inc Podcast! Our fourth and fifth podcasts will be hitting VERY soon--and you will notice that the production value of the podcast will increase significantly with the 6th episode. We decided to try out five episodes to see if it was 'working,' and we are happy to say it is! So all episodes after the fifth will be recorded with better quality and produced with more music, bumps, etc. Listen to our podcasts right here (link is in the sidebar) or download them through iTunes.
The Ouija Experiment! Yep, another Paranormal Inc movie! It's in the works and we are lining out the details now. The film will feature all new locations and will test the idea that Ouija boards cause crazy things to happen in haunted places. So be prepared to have some fun watching this one!
There are also a couple more surprises in store for the Fall, but we will wait until we are a little bit closer to Halloween to reveal those. In the meantime, we hope to see you at the tours and keep watching and listening!

Devil in the Delta Case
Unlike books on the paranormal that exaggerate events in order to make them seem more frightening, I have taken great pains to depict the real circumstances surrounding my investigation of this case. And rather than being a thinly disguised horror novel, Devil in the Delta is more a cautionary tale for would-be ghost hunters.
The names of individuals involved with this investigation (other than me) are changed in the book--but you will be able to hear some of them here within these audio files. During my trips into Mississippi, I gathered over fifty EVP's that include at least three ghostly voices. I also captured one odd photo that was (most likely) debunked--but I have included it here for posterity (and for those who have read the book and just want to see what I'm talking about).
For those who have read the book and want to hear some of the evidence, THANK YOU for buying Devil in the Delta! I hope you will read my other two books about hauntings, too (The Ghost Hunter's Field Guide and Ghost Hunting for Beginners). If you are reading this article and are interested in knowing more about the case and the investigation, I encourage you to pick up the book.
|Debunked Photo of Face by the Tree
So, without further ado, here is the photo and a sampling of the EVP's I captured during my investigations at the Martin home. For maximum enjoyment, listen to the clips with headphones in a quiet room:
EVP 1: In this clip you will hear a female investigator speak, followed by a young girl. There was no young girl present during the investigation.
EVP 2: You will hear investigators speaking, then right after a male investigator you will hear the young girl's voice again.
EVP 3: This is the infamous rumble in the trailer. You will hear me say, "How long have you been here in this house?" This is followed by a rumble that shakes the trailer. You will then hear me say, "What was that?"
EVP 4: This is a strange EVP of a voice whispering and scratching, then there's a cough from the next room (an investigator), followed by a series of fast raps.
EVP 5: The next two clips were recorded while the house was empty. In this one there is a male moan and knock.
EVP 6: The house is still empty, but the recorder records some odd movement in one room, followed by a heavy bang.
EVP 7: The next two EVP's were captured while investigating. You can hear investigators speak from an adjacent room, but in the room with the recorder (which is empty) there is an odd voice whispering.
EVP 8: This was recorded a few seconds after EVP 7. It is the whispering voice again.
EVP 9: This EVP was recorded in the empty trailer. You will hear yet another voice whispering. It sounds very close to the recorder.
EVP 10: In this clip you will hear a female investigator say she "needs batteries." Right after this, there is the clear sounds of a young girl humming. Once again, there were no young girls in the house.
EVP 11: This EVP is right after two female investigators say, "Lets go." You will hear a male voice whisper, "Look out!" Then I say something. The "look out" is the EVP.
EVP 12: Here you will hear a clear voice whisper "I know it."
EVP 13: In this clip you will hear one of the clients talking about the case with investigators. In the middle of the conversation, you will hear a ghostly voice say the word "kinfolk."
EVP 14: This clip was captured a few minutes after EVP 13. You will hear the client mention her grandfather; when she does, the clear sounds of a male crying out can be heard. That is the EVP.
EVP 15: During my last visit, the trailer was missing windows. So in this clip you will hear a loud cadence of crickets and an odd voice speaking from within the empty trailer.
EVP 16: The crickets are heard here again--but this time there is the sounds of a male moaning. The house is empty during this recording, too.
EVP 17: You will hear a female investigator ask, "Can you see the lights from where you're at?" She is answered by a ghostly 'uh huh' that is said twice.

Case Files: Dauphine Orleans Hotel
The current structure that is the hotel dates back to the city's first Spanish and French settlers and houses 111 rooms total (including the Herman House located across the street from the main hotel), a lounge/restaurant called May Baily's Place, and a massive courtyard with a pool. It's thought that the handmade nails that line some of the original walls in the building came from the local Jean Lafitte Blacksmith Shop when Lafitte was known more for being a pirate than a blacksmith.
In addition to this great, traditional history, the hotel also has quite a few ghost stories associated with it as well. In the late 1890's, May Baily's was known as one of the best brothels in Storyville (the original name of New Orleans)--and it was visited by a fair share of locals and travellers to the area. And with the 'ladies of the night' also came those who like to drink, gamble, and cause trouble.
Since those days--and certainly after the hotel opened its doors in 1969--patrons have seen the spirit of a soldier (thought by some to be a Creole who may have patronized the brothel) in the courtyard area of the hotel and the ghost of a young lady has been witnessed throughout the property (though most often in the courtyard and surrounding rooms). It was the tales of these two ghosts that were told to us when we arrived at the hotel. And once we were finished hearing first-hand the activity that takes place there, and was checked into our room, the fun began...
Armed with our usual bag of investigative tools--and stationed in a cottage room alongside the courtyard area--we roamed the area attempting to capture anything paranormal or untoward with our audio and video recorders.
While outside in the courtyard we noticed that there are a lot of strange shadows that seem to be a result of erratic lighting--and there are areas that aren't lit at all. These dark spaces seemed to play tricks on our eyes a bit; shadows of bushes in the wind, etc. were often mistaken for 'shadow shapes' moving about. But nothing was seen of the soldier or woman. Of course we know that spirits don't always show up when you want them too, so this came as no surprise.
While we were outside, however, the audio recorder in our room was capturing quite a lot of interesting sounds. Before leaving to the courtyard, I had placed an audio recorder with a cell-sensor EMF detector in the room. This particular detector makes a beeping sound when it detects any EMF's in the area--and this would show up on our audio recorder. Almost immediately after leaving the room, things started happening there.
First there were the sounds of tapping, knocks, and bangs. Then the EMF detector started going off now and then (the spirit was seemingly getting the energy to do more over time). And finally, the knocks and EMF beeps were accompanied by a female voice. No wonder we didn't see the female spirit in the courtyard: she was in our empty room apparently!
|Exterior of our Room
The Dauphine Orleans makes for a perfect haunted getaway; the rooms are spacious and lush, the onsite bar is a great hangout (and close to the room), and the haunting there is just enough to excite without frightening anyone. I highly recommend visiting for a fun weekend. Find out more about the Dauphine Orleans (and book your stay) at their official website.
The EVP's/Audio:
As with all EVP's that you listen to on this site, remember to listen in a quiet room with a good set of earphones or you may not hear all the sounds. EVP's are typically recorded at a very low volume and at a hard-to-hear frequency, so turn up the volume, too! Here we go...
Clip 1: This is an example of the bangs and knocks that were heard when the EMF detector first started going off in the room.
Clip 2: The activity is starting to ramp up; in this clip you will hear the EMF detector go off and what sounds like a voice maybe starting to speak or yell, etc.
Clip 3: Activity is in full swing now. You will hear a female voice say something, then a bang, then the female voice again.

Case Files: Allen House
Since the home was once posted as being the most haunted place in the country, it has been investigated many times by reputable paranormal groups and evidence that supports the haunting there has been gotten in spades.
Back on January 28th of this year (2012), Paranormal Inc honored the 68th anniversary of the funeral of Allen Bonner (one of the persons who are thought to haunt the home) with author and current owner of the home, Mark Spencer, by hosting a tour and ghost hunting class that was open to the public. Over the course of that evening, attendees had several personal experiences and we were lucky enough to also collect a few EVP's during our visit as well.
Personal Experiences
1. Several times over the course of the evening, attendees managed to get knocks/bangs in answer to questions posed while working in the attic of the home. In particular, whenever the spirit of "Joe Lee" was addressed, the responses seemed to come readily and with some force. Many of these were captured by an audio recorder, some are posted below.
2. At one point in the attic, a shadowy black mass was seen moving through the area and was even dense enough to block out a patch of light coming in through an open door.
3. Though this is standard for most investigations of truly haunted places, its worth noting: throughout the investigation many people experienced brand new batteries being sucked dry. It all climaxed with a laptop computer going dead during a Singapore Theory experiment in the downstairs parlor.
4. During an EVP session in the attic, several attendees actually heard a disembodied voice speak in response to a question. This was captured by an audio recorder and is posted below.
The Evidence
After the open investigation and ghost hunting class was concluded at the Allen House, the Paranormal Inc team returned to Memphis to review the numerous hours of audio and video footage that was collected--as well as to analyze approximately 300 photographs that were taken over the course of the evening. And while nothing untoward was found in the photos or video, we did manage to find a few interesting EVP's and audio clips.
Remember, like all EVP's gathered at investigations, these need to be listened to in a quiet environment with good headphones. Ghostly voices are usually faint and difficult to hear because of their low volume and frequency:
1. EVP 1: This is an EVP captured in the dining room of the Allen House. We were setting up and the guests were just beginning to arrive. If you listen closely behind us talking, you can hear a female voice say "Huh?" as we were talking about our strategy for the evening.
2. EVP 2: This EVP was captured in the attic of the house. The area was empty at the time as it was prior to the event, but you can clearly hear a female voice saying a few words.
3. EVP 3: Not long after capturing EVP 2 in the attic, the female voice is recorded again. Only this time she sounds like she is humming a tune.
4. EVP 4: During an EVP session in the attic, an attendee asked, "Y'all do some dancing up here?" There is an audible, male response that the attendee hears. This is a disembodied voice, not an EVP.
5. EVP 5: An attendee in the attic remarks, "I like your mustache." She is answered with a loud tap that everyone hears.
6. EVP 6: During an EVP session an attendee says, "Knock again. I heard you." There are a couple sets of knocks in response that everyone hears.
7. EVP 7: A member of Paranormal Inc asks Joe Lee to knock and he does! Everyone in the room heard this in real time.
The Allen House is a wonderful home with a unique and wonderful haunting. I highly recommend visiting and taking a tour when they are offered. For more information visit the official website of the house and read Mark's detailed book A Haunted Love Story to get a lot more background information about the history of the place, as well as hear about the ghosts who are thought to reside there.
We hope to return to the Allen House in the near future for some additional ghost hunting events, so stay tuned!

Case Files: The Sam Davis Home
The Antebellum home dates back to around 1810 and was constructed by Moses Ridley, though most of what you will see during your tour dates back to 1850 when the Davis family did extensive renovations to the property (the home still contains over 100 original items that belonged to the family). As for Sam Davis himself, he lived in the home until 1860. At that point, he attended the Western Military Academy in Nashville--but was soon drawn into the Civil War. His enlistment lasted until 1863 when he was captured, tried, and hung by the Union Army as a spy.
But what about the ghosts?
As mentioned above, the main home is now a living museum that is open to the public for tours throughout the year (just check their website for the actual tour schedule) and workers attend to the home on a regular basis. It has been these workers that have reported strange events in the house. Clarence Elkins, a tour guide of the property, has told of hearing the sounds of a woman crying in the home. He told the local press at the Murfreesboro Post that the sounds were coming from the area of the front parlor -- the place that Sam Davis' body lay in state prior to burial.
|Sam's Original Home
During our visit and investigation of the Sam Davis Home, we too had our own unique experiences. We were accompanied on this investigation by our friends Tony and Traci of The Ellisville Mississippi Paranormal Society, as well as budding investigators Chasity and Katherine. Several times over the evening, investigators could hear what sounded like a female voice speaking in the room known as 'Grandmother's Room' on the second floor. There were also strange, moving areas of electromagnetic activity in this room. This all culminated with one big event in this area: While performing an EVP session, two investigators (one male, one female) could hear a female voice respond to their questions. Then, all of a sudden, the EMF's in the room spiked sharply causing an actual field of static electricity that the investigators could feel, followed by the sensation of someone touching the female investigator on the arm! Interestingly, a review of the audio from this occurrence revealed an actual electronic disturbance that causes a strange feedback on the audio recorder during this.
|Sam's Final Resting Place
Another personal experience involved the aforementioned downstairs parlor. While performing some EVP work in this area, investigators began asking for knock responses to questions. Soon, they began to get them! Several times, the sounds of a knock could be heard after investigators asked for just such a sound.
A review of the audio, video, and photographic data collected at our investigation would reveal even more... We would leave with several interesting EVP/audio clips and one even more interesting photo...
EVP 1: This was recorded in Grandmother's Room. At this point the home is empty (investigators are working outside), but you can clearly hear what sounds like a weird yell, call, or cry in the room.
EVP 2: This was recorded during an EVP session on the second floor. You will hear a female investigator talking in this clip; listen behind her and you will hear what sounds like the faint voice of a second female in the room. This is not an investigator!
EVP 3: This is an example of the knock responses that investigators were getting in the downstairs parlor. You will hear an investigator ask if there are two ghosts in the home. This is followed by the sound of a photo being taken. Right when the camera beeps, listen for the knock response. You'll notice this knock was heard live by the investigators.
EVP 4: This is another example of the knock responses. This time the knock is heard after an investigator asks for confirmation that there are two ghosts in the house.
EVP 5: This was recorded in Grandmother's Room. You will hear a male and female investigator speaking. Listen close: Behind their voices you can clearly hear a young female speaking! This was not heard by the investigators and is an EVP.
EVP 6: This is the live audio of the event mentioned above. You will hear a male investigator complain that his battery went dead, then you will hear a female investigator say she just got touched, then the audio recorder makes a strange feedback sound as static electricity surges in the air. If you listen close, you may even hear what could be a female voice saying 'woo hoo'...
EVP 7: In addition to the above audio, another recorder placed downstairs in the home by a window would reveal other strange sounds. At times it sounds like a person yelling outside and speaking in loud voice. Throughout our investigation, people were working outside (especially around the small gravesite) and nothing like this was ever heard. As a result, we believe the sounds are EVP's. This clip is an example of the cries caught by this audio recorder. Note that the crickets on the audio are louder than the voice (another reason we believe this to be an EVP).
EVP 8: Another example of the strange voice/cries heard coming from outside (or at least the area by the downstairs windows).
Though all of this audio evidence is great, it's always nice to capture something visual during your investigation. And we would do so! As mentioned before, people have reported seeing an entity walking the path between the house and the family graveyard. Because of this, we took A LOT of photos of this area using night vision/infrared technology. 113 photos would reveal nothing, 1 would reveal something interesting.
Take a look at the photo (click on the image for a larger view): It appears a self-illuminating light is square in the middle of the area said to be visited by Oscar Davis! Because this photo was taken in infrared, it is easy to determine this was not a man-made light (flashlight, etc.) because it would have 'blown out' the sensor of the camera (an event that occurs when you shine a light in an IR camera). There is also no focal refraction in the lens, etc.
|Possible Ghostly Figure at Sam Davis Home
Is this the entity seen walking outside the home by visitors?
We don't know. We'd like to think so...but you make the call! Better yet, visit the Sam Davis Home for yourself! The living museum offers Ghost Tours and Haunted Hayrides during the Halloween season on October 21, 22, 28, and 29th.
Just visit the Sam Davis Home website for more information.

When I post something that I have originally made it'll be mentioned - mainly I post my artsy stuff in my art blog.
Messy bunch of reblogs contain e.g. art I find impressive, beautiful or interesting, photography, animals of many sort (especially cats!), overall things I find cute, gaming related posts, tattoos, nail art, and fandoms including Assassin's Creed, Pacific Rim, Shingeki no Kyojin, Disney, Ghibli, Pokémon, Mass Effect and Adventure Time, to name a few. You never know.
I by myself am doing this and that. Art doodles, handcrafts, glass work, cosplay, gaming, roleplaying, list goes on. I'm a young woman in my 20s living in Tampere, Finland, and study in Tampere University of Applied Sciences' Degree Programme in Media (an English interactive media program). My dearest dream in the moment is to own a cat. *u*

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Star Center is a wonderful school. The staff is always pleasant and willing to help. My daughter is in her first year here, and I am so excited to watch her learn & grow throughout the coming years. She is challenged enough to not become bored, as each child is at a different learning pace. I just love this school!
Best school in lake geneva area, dedicated teachers as well as the leadership in the school. Good kids and Great Parents!
I love this school the teachers are very involved and they really care. They love their jobs and kids and they are very supportive. The principal is completely involved with the activities and with the kids. She knows the kids by name. There are activities afterschool and kids love them. My daughter has been in this school for the last two years and she loves going to school, I guess this attitud speaks by itself.
Star Center is the best - caring, professional staff teaching our kids not only the basics, but also important things like respect and integrity.
The main reason we bought a house in Pell Lake last year was because of the schools(Star Center). My child is in first grade here and loves it. The staff sincerely care about these kids and it shows.
best school around! great for the kids ! teaches kids how to handle them selves in and out of school and everybody there are great role models!!!!!
One of the main reasons we chose to buy a house in Pell Lake was because of the school here. We really like Star Center school, the staff, the other parents, and of course the great kids.

A person with severe brain damage and no hope of recovery is often referred to as "a vegetable" (although the proper medical term is "persistent vegitative state). They are unconscious and unaware.
Sometimes if a person is going to sit and do nothing for a while, just to relax, he may say "I'm going to veg out", meaning he's going to be physically and mentally inactive, like a vegetable.

Video Ads Served By Panache Increase 850% YOY In 2008 Vs 2007
Panache, the ad-insertion platform for major media and entertainment companies, today announced that its Media Maps have resulted in nearly one billion online video ads to date. The figure reflects more than an 850 percent increase from 2007, and underscores significant usage from major media and entertainment companies looking to drive ad-driven in-stream revenue. Panache expects its ASP platform, which enables unlimited video ad avails and performance of ad insertions with its patent-pending Media Map technology™, to process its billionth ad in January, 2009.
Panache is now working with more than 15 major publishers to productize their business, dynamically create ad avails, and provide in-stream ad insertion into a wide array of premium video content. Media and entertainment companies with multi-channel in-house ad sales need straightforward solutions that promote profitability from their online video operations. Panache's open platform provides major networks the infrastructure to create unlimited ad avails, support both live and on-demand video ad insertion, report on video and advertising and drive greater efficiencies for ad operations, ad sales and technology groups.
"Networks and major publishers are struggling with how to drive efficiencies across key areas including ad products, player engineering and ad operations," said Steve Robinson, president of Panache. "As the online video advertising industry continues to mature, publishers are increasingly looking for ways to productize operations, streamline their efforts and gain better control. Major networks need an ad insertion and reporting solution that provides a comprehensive infrastructure without affecting existing workflows. They also seek quick and sustainable profits for all their video—short form, long form, on-demand and live streams."
Despite the economic downturn, online video advertising spend is projected to reach close to $1 billion in 2009, as more traditional media companies distribute professional-quality content online (eMarketer). According to Comscore, 77 percent of the total U.S. Internet audience viewed an online video in October, with the projected number of online video advertising viewers expected to reach 174.8 million in 2012 (eMarketer).
In addition to publisher success, Panache has also grown its ecosystem of partners this year. More than a dozen major partnership deals were forged in 2008, including a joint venture with Adobe to insert in-video ads into the Adobe Media Player (AMP). Panache also expanded its reach into rich media by joining with interactive in-video advertising leader PointRoll. Other major relationships include Microsoft, thePlatform and Adify.
The Panache platform reduces the cost and complexity of ad insertion and awards media and entertainment companies total control of ads in any syndication or distribution. As networks move more content online, options expand to make full use of programming. Panache's agnostic approach gives publishers highly flexible ad product choices and immediate opportunity to monetize video content.
Panache's proprietary Media Mapping technology orchestrates ad insertion into any number or combination of avails. Dynamic and easily changeable, this technology ensures that every ad insertion, including the video's entire ad experience, occurs exactly as planned.

Motherboard Earth by Alain Bousquet
Encoded in our DNA is the organic circuitry of life, programming everything from our physical structure to the hardwired commands needed to run, fight, or play. Alain's series of interlaced circuits create a user interface for the abstract ideas we use to build our world.
Love this interpretation of biological "circuitry". Although, I'd say that DNA is more the biological program, and the temporal interactions of the proteins and higher-order structures it codes for are really the "circuit board" … but that's just me :)

Professor Stephon H. Alexander, the E. E. Just Professor of Natural Sciences at Dartmouth is the Director of the E. E. Just Program. He received his Ph.D. in physics from Brown University in 2000, with a dissertation titled "Topics at the Interface between String Theory and Cosmology." From 2000 to 2002, he held a postdoctoral fellowship from PPARC (the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council of the United Kingdom). He recently won the National Science Foundation CAREER award and was elected a National Geographic Emerging Explorer. His research focuses on unresolved problems— such as the cosmological- constant or dark- energy problem— that connect cosmology to quantum gravity and the standard model of elementary particles. In particular, he uses observations in cosmology to both construct and test fundamental theories. He is passionate about teaching and researching with students and finding connections between music and science.
Dear Students,
Let me first begin by wishing you an enjoyable and successful 2012 academic year. As I was reflecting on meaningful events to plan this year for the new EE Just Program, I thought back to the days when I was an undergraduate. I asked myself "What are the events that I would have wanted to experience, that did now come to past?" This fall's exciting and engaging EE Just symposium emerged as the answer to my question. I want to extend a warm welcome for you and your friends to come and participate in this exciting event, which will kick off with the Keynote address by one of President Obama's science and technology advisors, Dr. Jim Gates.
What happens when we bring together the developer of the X-Box, Kinect motion detector with a world renowned Primatolgist? How about having a laid back coffee discussions with one of the best mathematicians in the world that makes internationally acclaimed independent films? Witness a heated debate between who the BBC calls the "bad-boy of physics" Joao Magueijo and a Dartmouth prof- will Dartmouth win the battle? Most importantly, is that the informal and interactive nature of the EE Just Symposium welcomes your participation at all levels of engagement. It is in this spirit, I enthusiastically invite you to participate in all of the talks and informal conversations during the EE Just Symposium, which will take place this Sept 27-29th. Please click on the link to the symposium and check out the bios of the the invited speakers: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~eejust/symposium/
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com, Kathy Weaver (email@example.com) or Dean Paul Buckley (email@example.com)
Well beyond the Symposium I look forward to working with all of you in the years to come.
Best wishes,

Culled from countless hours of video and originally broadcast on HBO in November 2002, this Emmy-winning "home movie" purports to provide an "all-access pass" to George W. Bush during the 18-month haul of his 2000 presidential campaign, but it's more accurate to call this a revealing portrait of camaraderie among the campaign's roving press corps. Armed with a camcorder and her own charming personality, NBC news producer Alexandra Pelosi (youngest daughter of California Democratic Representative Nancy Pelosi) captures a "Dubya" we don't often see: casual, charismatic, and (with a mouthful of junk food much of the time) rather lacking in table manners. History has turned Journeys with George into a horror film that looks like a road-trip buddy comedy. The terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001 and the subsequent war in Iraq were more than two years in the future, so this amiable cross-country jaunt now looks like a stress-free postcard from a more innocent time, enjoyable for its candor about the seemingly endless cycle of photo-ops and repetitive campaign rhetoric. What you won't get from Pelosi's video diary is any deeper insight into George W. Bush or the nascent workings of his imminent administration. As a lighter-side companion to The War Room, however, Journeys with George is must-see viewing for anyone interested in the relationship between jaded journalists and the man who would become the 43rd President of the United States. It's unlikely we'll ever see another film quite like this. --Jeff Shannon

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
You missed an archetype that I think is pretty vital: The Stalker. These hunters have one kind of game on their mind, to the point of fixation. Not the same as stalkers in the modern, creepy sense, this is a hunter who, often for reasons of vengeance, pursues a category of beings to annihilate or at least inconvenience them. Prime examples are blood elves who harry the Scourge, night elves who stalk orcs, orcs fixated on purging demons and centaur-hating tauren.
A Stalker will of course have skills for hunting any prey, but they hone those that will help deal with their nemesis to the keenest. Stalkers can often be loners, but others revel in the glory and honour their people shower them with for what they do.
Stalkers overlap well with other archetypes, in fact it's fairly rare to see a stalker that wasn't some other archetype first. An Outdoorsman Stalker is pretty standard, typically the loner type, often seeking vengeance against the core reason they're removed from society. A Big Game Stalker is more likely to seek glory than vengeance, but narrow their focus to one especially dangerous form of prey. Special Forces Stalkers largely come in two flavours: Those specifically trained to hunt something in particular, and those who have suffered military disaster at the hands of their targets. Mystic Stalkers often see it as their sacred duty to destroy their nemeses, perhaps even to the extent that they view what they do as a form of holy war.
That sounds like it takes a lot from the DND idea of giving a ranger a "favored enemy". WoW currently has a small mechanic for this to give the idea some hunters might like to do this, to pick a particular quarry, in the top tier of survival... but I think overall not enough hunters I know have a favored enemy to mention it. Not in any way to set them apart from any other class, especially once they take out that mechanic to replace the specific damage with tracking.
I'm not saying it isn't lore supported at all, just that favored enemy for a hunter comes out of the DND lore instead of anything specific to lore that I know of for WoW.
A Stalker who isn't something else as well almost certainly took up arms in vengeance, learning to fight and harass their foes from a safe distance, learning to track and ensnare them, learning to survive in whatever unwelcoming environment they can be found, on their own, over the course of pursuing their revenge. They can be the most dangerous of all hunters, if you're one of their targets, because all they've lived for is your destruction.

Completely agree, I didn't like it as much as you did, but it has some of the best action scenes in any movie in a long time.

I think the reason why I liked it so much is because I didn't know anything about it. I hadn't seen the trailer and I didn't know anyone from the cast and I sure as hell didn't expect it to have so much martial arts if any.

Found December 04, 2012 on NBA 24/7 365:
PLAYERS: Byron Mullens, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, LaMarcus Aldridge, Joey Graham, Josh Boone
TEAMS: Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers, Cleveland Cavaliers
TEAMS: Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers, Cleveland Cavaliers
With just over eight minutes to go in the opening quarter of Charlotte's only home game against Portland, BJ Mullens caught a swing pass from Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Upon collecting the basketball, Mullens immediately proceeded to shoot a three-pointer. It's something he does over five times per game, and as he does more than 70% of the time, he missed. Much to the chagrin of Bobcats fans, it appeared as though the most stereotypical BJ Mullens possession had just unfolded. However, in this particular instance, the play was far from over. Mullens just so happened to come up short on his attempt, causing the ball to ricochet hard off the front of the rim. Like a boomerang, it shot right back in BJ's direction, coincidentally serving as a well-placed pass that led him into the lane. Once again, Mullens collected the basketball… but this time he did so with a much, much different intent. With his lead foot planted outside of the dotted line, Mullens exploded off the floor. He leaned towards the basket, extended his right arm, and toppled a helpless LaMarcus Aldridge like a bowling pin. Using all 7 feet, 1.5 inches of his wingspan, BJ Mullens completed the finest play of his NBA career. And I missed it. Figures that I'd tune into a Bobcats game midway through the first quarter to find that they already had 22 points and BJ Mullens had thrown down the second or third best dunk of the season.

Ask me anything
So I finally decided to do a few remixes of some of my favorite songs from The Animals (Instead of doing work like I was supposed to).
This is just a quick session from today. I will probably go back and tweak these some more. Kind of bizarre and fun. The idea started with "House of the Rising Sun". I've always thought it could sound really interesting slowed down. So, I slowed it down, and tweaked some other bits. Then I decided to do a few more of The Animal's songs to finish off a quick little EP.
It's about 20minutes of music, and I'm calling the Album: When ANIMALZ Attack.
Track 01: House of the Rising Sun (quit a long intro on this guy)
Track 02: Little Red Riding Hood
Track 03: Wild Thing
Hopefully this is fun for other people besides me. If not, oh well. (Will probably show up in 3 separate Audio Posts - I can only do one per day I guess).
What can I say? My place of employment is very unique and strange.
It does make for very interesting days.
Well, once again my friends at worked have placed my liking to a bizarre shrine. I now have a personalized Pez, or Grez, Dispenser. Yep, packaging and all. It even has personalized candy flavors: Orange Scooter Crunch, Orange Extra Hot Sauce and Orange Gurtberry.
I have to admit it is flattering, though in a twisted way. It's very strange how many things apparently look like me, or at least are funny to say they look like me. I'm not sure if I'll ever have a group of co-workers/friends quite like this again. For now, I'll take it as a compliment, and in the future when I'm elsewhere with kids and a mortgage, I'll remember I once had a Grez Dispenser (it even has on one of my favorite shirts and pair of jeans).
Was working, then heard a commotion, and everyone realized the courthouse building across the street was on fire. It's kind of crazy. Old building that looks like a castle:
Co, this one goes out to you (Since I think you'll enjoy it the most and you know the person who drew them - Erin Jarvis). A friend/co-worker has been drawing these over the past 1.5 yrs or so. Apparently if you add red hair, glasses and a beard to anything, it looks like me. They're original and funny. Enough said.
Enjoy, or not, the choice is yours:
So this Sunday morning I got to experience something that I'll probably never have the chance to experience again. A Pittsburgh Penguins practice at the brand new Consol Energy Center for free. To top it off, I got to sit where ever I wanted. The doors opened at 8:45, and I arrived at aprox. 8:40 am. There were already several thousand people waiting in line. The line went quick, and I got a really decent seat at center ice about 15 rows up. There really isn't a bad seat in the entire arena, so I would've been happy with anything (especially for free).
If you know me, you'll know I actually don't like sports at all. I enjoy watching them with friends from time to time, but in general, I'm happier without them… that is until I discovered Hockey - and I could make an exception for Soccer, if anyone in the States actually watched it. I am now a true and avid Hockey fan. With that said, here are some pics from this weekends practice, and of the new arena. Can't wait until the season begins. LETS GO PENS!
Well, enjoy. This is my old roommate and friend, Ian Fitch at his finest. Though I should add that his girlfriend did help with lead vocals. The name of their band is now slipping my mind, as many names of things/bands/places do. The show was a blast, and totally ridiculous. Yes, Ian is wearing a wet suit.
Saturday September 4, 2010
After the wedding I attended for a good friend back home in Austin, a few of us decided to go out for a nice dinner. I love sushi, and a good friend of mine and his wife love it as well, so they suggested this new place called Uchiko. This place was a blast. My favorite type of modern architecture mixed with good food.
There are no entrees or appetizers. You just keep ordering things… it's sort of like Japanese style tapas (though I guess this isn't that unusual for a sushi house). The sake was good, and served in little wooden square boxes in which they purposely overflowed the glass so that it filled the bottom of the box slightly. Each sushi dish was served with an accompanying garnish and sauce and served on a dark rose wood (I'm guessing) board. The dishes were extremely fresh and flavorful. If I had written this sooner or taken notes, I would be able to tell you exactly what we got, but I didn't, so I'm not going to embarrass myself trying.
To top everything off, the service we experienced was outstanding. Our waiter was extremely informative with every dish. After a while we had random servers coming to give us our dishes (which we shared family style), but they were just as informative.
For desert we had corn… corn ice cream, cookie, yogurt of some sort. I'm sure if you really really like corn (think corn bread) you'd love it. For me, it was a little too corny.
If you take my word for anything, and actually I hope you don't, I'd definitely tell you to try Uchiko out if you get a chance. You'd better bring a few extra bones though, the price tag on all this stuff is pretty stiff. We left paying aprox $140 (3 people), and were still hungry (though the food did seem to settle a bit before we went to our second, cheaper fill food location - East Side King: http://www.yelp.com/biz/east-side-king-austin).
Uchiko (also they have a spot called Uchi): http://www.uchikoaustin.com/
There is also a place in Pittsburgh, which I have yet to go, that seems along the same line. It's run by a highly trained Japanese chef: http://bit.ly/9haa6o (google), website: http://www.bigburrito.com/umi/

Ask the Expert: Loan Options
Dennis Wong
Senior VP/Oahu Regional Manager
Photo: David Croxford
I'm in the early stages of growing my small business. What are my best loan options if I have limited qualifications for financing?
Securing capital through a loan can be challenging when you are just starting or expanding your business, but opportunities are available. With the help of your lender, finding a loan that fits your needs boils down to proper financial planning and a review of traditional and government-backed loans.
Identify Your Needs
Before exploring loan programs, develop a clear plan for your business and determine how the desired funds will be spent and repaid. Whether you intend to buy office space or replenish product inventories, the use of the money will play a critical role in the loan selection and structuring process. To avoid unnecessary expenses and realize the full rewards of your investment, you will want to match an asset's life with a loan's term. For example, short-term loans should fund product restocking, while long-term loans should finance real estate and major equipment purchases. When you are aware of your short- and long-term objectives, you will be better prepared to make financially sound loan choices.
Know Your Options
Even if you do not qualify for a conventional bank loan, do not rule out loans all together. Banks often offer special loan programs tailored to specific industries as well as custom-designed loans to meet your goals.
Financing is also available through government-guaranteed loan programs offered by the Small Business Administration (SBA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA).
SBA loans are structured with small businesses in mind, offering long, flexible repayment terms and low interest rates. The most common SBA program is the 7(a) loan. Based on your eligibility, up to $5 million is available for working capital, equipment and real estate needs.
For farmers and owners of agricultural and food-manufacturing businesses, the USDA and HDOA, in conjunction with local lenders, offer multiple loans for daily operations as well as purchasing land, livestock, machinery and even renewable energy systems.
Speak with a local lender for more information on available programs, terms and restrictions.

The second annual Twilight at Pukaha Mount Bruce fundraiser will be held next month and organisers say it is one you won't want to miss.
The night will include dinner, entertainment and an auction, and many goods have already been donated.
"The auction is a key part of the fundraising, with all items donated and all proceeds going directly towards the forest wildlife restoration fund - this is essentially the fund that keeps pests at bay and therefore wildlife safe," said Pukaha Mount Bruce Board chairman Bob Francis. "Many people don't realise the entire Pukaha operation is not for profit - all funds go towards protecting the wildlife at Pukaha and maintaining the operation itself."
He said the dinner is a great night out and an opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to the environment.
"It's a wonderful evening and a wonderful way to support the wildlife at Pukaha Mount Bruce; definitely one you don't want to miss," he said.
Prizes include accommodation at the Copthorne Hotel & Resort Solway Park, a weekend away in Hawke's Bay from TRC Toyota, duvets from Terra Lana and framed photography by Geoff Walker.
All funds raised go towards the forest wildlife restoration project.
The fundraising dinner at Pukaha Mount Bruce on March 22 is expected to sell out. Tickets are $95 each or $900 for a table of 10. Call Jo Parker on (06) 377 0535 or John Gilberthorpe on (06) 304 9698 for tickets or to donate items to auction.

Hello my dear Fry-ites! I hope today is being a good day for you.
I would like to request, if I may, a slightly off-topic audience with you all:
I am a member of old. About five years ago, I was a very, very active member of these pages - albeit under a different name. This forum saved my life, literally and figuratively, and for that I will always be grateful. I owe the people here a great deal, and hopefully I was able to repay them slightly in whatever assistance and comfort I could offer.
I have come here now, not as a BP sufferer (I was clinically depressed, but not bipolar), but as an alcoholic. An alcoholic who has quit before, but never for good. Who no longer gets into the worst depths of his dark potential - but could and nearly does regularly. Who knows that the only way he can achieve peace from this is to stop - truly stop - and that terrifies him...
Or, in plain terms: I'm going to the doctor next week, I know the time has come to end this once and for all, and I'm scared. And I remember coming here once before when I was scared, and the people here helped me to keep walking through it.
So I don't know what I want to say yet, but I wanted to set up the opportunity to say it. Please forgive me if you feel this is not the correct forum for this. It just feels like home.

Should Google know your deep, dark secrets?
With Google Glass on sale to the general public today, it's time to have a serious and overdue discussion about technology and privacy.
By Christian Madsbjerg, Fortune
Google (GOOG) opens up its Explorer Program Tuesday, offering the general public an opportunity to purchase Glass for $1,500.
Although spots are limited, the expansion of the Glass club has created tremendous excitement across tech blogs and Silicon Valley -- finally, the tools are readily available to record our complete existence, every moment of our lives on Earth, every face we encounter.
And what about the people on the other side of the camera? As they have no legal or political mechanism for opting out of Glass, they can either jump on the bandwagon or stay home: Our entire lives are now fair game for recording and sharing.
Lest we fret too much about the prospect of full disclosure, Facebook (FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg reminds us that privacy is no longer a "social norm." It's so last century, right?
Other countries in Europe and Asia have recently had robust public debates about the limits of privacy, and, as a result, legislation has taken measures to address the concern, even mandating shutter-click sounds and disabling facial recognition software. Yet here in the United States, even after the NSA data-collection scandals, there have not been enough extensive ethical conversations about technology and privacy in the national media.
When we study U.S. consumers' perceptions around technology, we hear the same thing over and over again: "But who would find my photos interesting?" Most people we've spoken with over the years express a sense of apathy regarding privacy and security concerns. While many of them admit that they don't like being photographed or recorded without consent, they simply don't know what to do about it -- the rhetoric of innovation and progress that accompanies tech's invasion into our private lives makes the whole thing feel like a fait accompli.
According to Google CEO Eric Schmidt, we need not be concerned if our entire lives are recorded and made visible to others, because: "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."
By taking a moral high ground, he reduces privacy to a protection mechanism for illegal or illicit activities. Reality, of course, is far more complex than Schmidt's vision of a flat monoculture of morals. Each of us occupies a variety of social worlds with different moral codes: What might be okay in one circle isn't necessarily okay in another.
Ironically, Google+, with its overlapping social circles, is entirely structured around this principle -- we all do things that we don't want our grandmothers, significant others, friends or bosses to see. But Glass changes all that because we no longer have control over how our lives are recorded and shared online.
And if Schmidt was being serious (rather than merely provocative), it's hard to square his perspective with the explosion of digital communication channels that explicitly deliver highly private, even anonymous, digital interactions. In our recent projects for global technology companies, we've seen firsthand how younger users especially are beginning to treat highly public platforms like Facebook as mere "online image maintenance," suitable for only the most banal and generic information.
They've turned instead to apps like Snapchat, Whisper and Between to share more high-value and "real" content -- the inside jokes, the unscripted updates, the small gestures of "I'm thinking of you now." Much of the actual content of these digital interactions is unsuitable for public consumption, part of what makes it so valuable to users. But it's often this type of content, the slightly transgressive, experimental, unproven or strange, that's been the basis of America's vibrant culture. You could ask the question: Is a person who has nothing to hide worth knowing?
A key driver of our cultural output is our robust civil society -- the private sphere of human interactions outside of business or government that creates and nurtures new ideas. We don't need to go back far in history -- the Stasi, McCarthyism, the Salem witch trials, etc. -- to observe the disastrous cultural effects wrought by the breakdown of civil society. In all of these cases, the usurping of privacy was a key tool of the regime in control; the perception of being constantly watched created a normalizing effect, where citizens slowly internalized the surveillance and modified their behaviors to be less and less idiosyncratic.
Maybe you're still thinking, but yes, as long as we're not doing anything illegal, overturning the state, say, what harm is there in a little exposure? Sunlight is the best disinfectant, after all.
Consider another example: It is said that 40 to 76 percent of all marriages will be hit with infidelity at some point. Infidelities are a closely guarded but a fairly common secret. Now imagine if all instances of infidelity and flirting became public data. Imagine if Google made this data available to you, your friends and the government, together with all the accompanying metadata of how you were feeling at the time and how good the motel was on a 1 to 5 scale. Does that information really want to be free?
Instead of letting the tech industry lock you into a rhetorical stronghold -- your privacy in the name of their progress -- stop for a moment. It's time to really think -- not just about what's possible, but about what's preferable. What do we really want as a society?

I suspect Mr. Schmidt and his fellow travelers will begin to be trotted to 'woodsheds,' in fairly short, for 'lectures' on why their willful obtuseness may be dangerous to one's health. He may wish to consider packaging his voyeur glasses with a pair of safety goggles. "Goggles for Google Glass - don't leave home without 'em!"
Seriously... Who wants to pay 1500 bucks to look like a dork that cant leave their computer at home??
And how much will street muggings increase when these people walk around with a high value item clearly in view??
I see it as a fad that will pass soon and maybe become somewhat common down the road if prices drop.
As far as the privacy, being in public has always meant "no privacy"...
My suggestion is moon every person you see wearing these and eventually they will get the hint....

Wearing a Sari: Gujarati Style (Part 2 of 2)Contributed by: (http://www.india-herbs.com): Sarees from South India: 1. Kanjeevaram Saree - No Indian bridal trousseau is complete without the 'Kanjeewaram' saree, characterised by gold-dipped silver thread that is woven onto brilliant silk. Kanchipuram is a town in Tamil Nadu with more than 150 years of weaving tradition -- completely untouched by fashion fads. - Kanjeewarams are favoured for their durability. Kanjee silk is thicker than almost all other silks, and is therefore more expensive. The heavier the silk, the better the quality. Peacock and parrot are the most common motifs. Though lightweight kanjee sarees are popular as they are easy to wear and cost very little, the traditional weavers do not like to compromise. While Korean and Chinese silk is suitable for light-weight sarees (machine woven), only mulberry silk produced in Karnataka and few parts of Tamil Nadu, is right for the classic Kanjeewaram. 2. Konrad Saree - The konrad or the temple saree is also a speciality item from Tamil Nadu. These sarees were original woven for temple deities. - They are wide bordered sarees and are characterised by wedding related motifs such as elephants and peacocks, symbolising water, fertility and fecundity. - Traditional colours for these sarees are earth shades of browns, greys and off-whites. However, brighter shades have been introduced for the North Indian buyer. 3. Others - Pashmina silk, kota silk, Mysore crepes, pochampallis and puttapakshi sarees are also popular South Indian sarees. - Typical wedding sarees from Kerala are the nayayanpets and bavanjipets which usually have a gold border on a cream base. - Traditional colours for these sarees are earth shades of browns, greys and off-whites. However, brighter shades have been introduced for the North Indian buyer. Sarees from East India: 1. Baluchari Sarees - This saree from Bengal is usually five yards in length and 42" wide in flame red, purple and occasionally in deep blue. The field of the saree is covered with small butis and a beautiful floral design runs across the edges. The anchal has the main decoration depicting narrative motifs. Taingals and kanthas are other speciality items from Bengal. by
Wearing a Sari: Gujarati Style (Part 1 of 2)Contributed by: (http://www.india-herbs.com): Sarees from different regions of India A range of gorgeous sarees come from Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh and Western Madhya Pradesh. The dominant characteristic of the saree of these regions is obtained by dyeing rather than weaving techniques. In fact, the three major forms of Indian resist-dyeing -- block printing, tie & dye and ikat have evolved here. Playing with colour, fabric, weave and embellishments can create an exquisite look to the trousseau wardrobe. Sarees from West India: 1. Bandhani - These are sarees created by dyeing the cloth in such a manner that many small resist-dyed 'spots' produce elaborate patterns over the fabric. - The traditional bandhani market has shrunk however, because of the rise of low-cost silk-screened imitations and most modern bandhani sarees are made with larger designs and fewer ties than in the past. There are varieties available in two contrasting colours, with borders, end-pieces and one or more large central medallion called a pomcha or padma (lotus flower). Red and black is the most common colour combination but other pairs of colours are also found. For instance, the panetar saree is a Gujarati-Hindu saree of satin weave and Gajji silk with red borders, central medallions and a white body, which may contain regularly spaced red tie-dyed spots. - Single colour sarees and odhnis with white spots are also common. The most famous of this type is the Gujarati saree called Garchola It is usually red, but occasionally green, and is divided into a network of squares created by rows of white tie-dyed spots or woven bands of zari. The Garchola is a traditional Hindu and Jain wedding saree, which used to be made of cotton, but is now usually in silk. The number of squares in the saree is ritually significant multiples of 9, 12 or 52. 2. Patola - The most time consuming and elaborate saree created by the western region is the potole (plural patola) which has intricate five colour designs resist-dyed into both warp and weft threads before weaving. - Double ikat patola saree is a rare and expensive investment. A cheaper alternative to double ikat patola is the silk ikat saree developed in Rajkot (Gujarat), that creates patola and other geometric designs in the weft threads only. 3. Gujarati Brocade These are extremely expensive and virtually extinct. The main distinguishing characteristics of the Gujarati Brocade Saree: - Butis (circular designs) woven into the field in the warp direction instead of the weft, resulting in their lying horizontally instead of vertically on the saree when draped. - Floral designs woven in coloured silk, against a golden (woven zari) ground fabric. Although such 'inlay' work is a common feature in many western Deccan silks, the Gujarati work usually has leaves, flowers and stems outlined by a fine dark line. 4. Embroidered Tinsel Sarees - The western region also has a rich embroidered tradition, made famous by ethnic groups such as rabaris and sodha Rajputs. - The saree with zardozi, the gold gilt thread embroidery technique, at one time patronised by the Moghul emperors and the aristocracy, is today an inextricable part of a bridal trousseau. - Balla tinsel and khari work are the cheaper variations available in metallic embroidery, which have also become quite popular. 5. Paithani - This saree is named after a village near Aurangabad in Maharashtra. Now also woven in the town of Yeola, these sarees use an enormous amount of labour, skill and sheer expanse of material in their creation. - Distinctive motifs such as parrots, trees and plants are woven into the saree. The shades vary from vivid magenta, peacock greens and purples. In the pallav, the base is in gold and the pattern is done in silk, giving the whole saree an embossed look. 6. Chanderi and Maheshwari - The Chanderi saree from Madhya Pradesh is light and meant for Indian summers. It is made in silk or fine cotton with patterns taken from the Chanderi temples. - The Maheshwari sarees are also both in cotton and silk, usually green or purple with a zari border. The traditional block-printed tussar can also be found in contemporary designs nowadays. - Balla tinsel and khari work are the cheaper variations available in metallic embroidery, which have also become quite popular. 7. Gadwal - Gadwal saree is made in cotton in a style influenced by the Banarasi weaves. While the ground of the saree is cotton, there is a loosely attached silk border. - Copper or gold-dipped zari is generally used in these sarees. The motifs of the murrugan (peacock) and the rudraksh are popular. - Traditional colours for these sarees are earth shades of browns, greys and off-whites. However, brighter shades have been introduced for the North Indian buyer. by
