|Reviews for The Scruff Factor
| Sword On Fire chapter 6 . 7/31/2003
*snort*hahahaha*remembers that you're not supposed to laugh this long while in a library* OOps . . . Funny! So funny! Hilarious! The most well-constructed/written LotR story I've read since . . . well . . . whenever!
| Karri chapter 6 . 7/31/2003
Wonderfully amusing chapter, Jasta. Well worth the wait. LOL! Legolas was in fine form!
| Natgel chapter 6 . 7/31/2003
Thanks again for another chapter of delightful ridiculousness!
| Luineithel chapter 6 . 7/31/2003
This is divine - as always!
Your gift of playing with words is amazing and leaves me speechless everytime I read or re-re-read one of your stories.
I love your take on the innocent "looking!" Legolas, oh, if only Thranduil would know, but parents (hopefully) never do.
With the fuming Elladan covered in mud, I immediately had to think of his and Elrohir's entrance in LotR: "And have you marked the brethren Elladan and Elrohir? Less sombre is their gear than the others', and they are fair and gallant as Elven-Lords; and that is not to be wondered at in the sons of Elrond of Rivendell." - Rather grand, isn't it? I will never be able to read this sentence again without seeing a mud-dripping Elladan in my mind :-)!
I cannot wait for the epilogue.
| Asha Dreamweaver chapter 6 . 7/31/2003
About time! you *finally* updated! Yay! do try and do it more often will you? you're story is so great that you just *have* to update sooner...
And in my opinion Legolas always seem to be about ten steps ahead of the twins so i think they're in for a spectacular and no doubt public defeat... Are they? beacuse that would be really cool...
I mean Legolas always seems quite cheery in the film while he's killing the bad guys. i somehow doubt that if he's one of the first lines of defence for Mirkwood, that Elladan and Elrohir's bumbling ways - and tracking skills - with regards to him would seriously pose any problem.
| TreeHugger chapter 6 . 7/31/2003
I apologize for the tardiness of this reveiw. :( No excuse but RL. And I don't like to give rushed reviews if I can help it.
First, the title of this chapter is cleverness itself! ;)
I do feel rather sorry for poor Silinde and Galdor. They have been assigned a most unpleasant task, and as I did read this on RM I know WHY they were given this task, but I will pretend that I don't know why! ;)
:/ Innocence. hm? Well, that is not an adjective that springs to mind, but as parents usually have a different view of what their children are then I suppose 'innocent' is doable. Adorable, that I understand. ;D
Okay, now I can laugh again at the Good and Wise king who knows that revenge is a dish best served VERY cold as he has obviously waited quite patiently to get back at these two! I love how it just creeps in on Silinde, rather like a spider dropping into your hair and you can feel something crawling over you. Most unpleasant.
So Silinde and Galdor were the good little elflings while Thranduil was ... not the good little elfling? I find that hard to believe! I am sure Thranduil was the perfect child! An angel of elflings. O;D Right . . . .
"This should be clear to the veriest dunce," he announced.
Galdor snorted. "Which would explain why it is clear to you . . . "
Good one, Galdor! LOL
Um, I realize that I usually hang out with the Silvans so I must plead ignorance and ask - just what, pray tell, sort of things go on in Noldor households? ? :/ LOL ;D
Well, frankly. . . bursting into the room like that was a bit uncalled for. Whoever taught these two their manners ought to lose their job!
"Prince Legolas? Your highness-are you all right?" Silinde shouted, in tones of great dismay and concern. Um . . . wasn't Silinde the one who, just a moment ago, thought that the prince was most. .. erm. . .un-innocent? If there is laughter then I would say everything is quite fine. Or perhaps Silinde and Galdor thought it was TOO fine and that is why they are concerned for the "innocence" of their young princeling. . . Does this have something to do with those Noldors? O.O -
"Your majesty-ahh, err, highness . . ." Ah, Galdor! Seems he forgot where he was and whom he was with for a moment there! Legolas has indeed learned much from his dear adar.(:E (as close to a king smiley I could make)
ROFL Well, those two most unfortunate elves have been properly put in their place. Serves them right for thinking to tangle with any of Oropher's house. I believe if they could only hear themselves they would have realized just how ridiculous they look at this moment. I do hope that dear Legolas writes home to ada about this little incident with Silinde and Galdor. I believe the good king would rather enjoy it!
Channeling his ada indeed. He did that most impressively. Again, I think Thranduil would be very proud.
Surely Aragorn and Arwen have had cause to giggle in the bathing chamber before! Who hasn't? And the reasons are varied and numerous indeed!
Legolas' Plan is working very well. Aragorn will look the king and not even be aware of it! Legolas is lucky that it was only one towel in his face. He did manage this almost too easily! ;D But then he is Prince Legolas Thranduilion.
LOL Yes, I suppose to Aragorn shaving everyday must be a bit like torture. But I wouldn't want to rouse the anger of a Sindarin prince with a razor in his hand either!
Uh oh! How very. . . lamentable! Caught by Elrond, Glorfindel, AND Erestor! My my! I do feel sorry for the Twins now! NOT! ROFL
Oh, Valar preserve us! These two are no more innocent that Thranduilion! Do they truly thing this will work on THOSE three who have known them since forever? LOL I do have to applaud the attempt though.
ROFL I can't believe that someone as wise and as old as Glorfindel would think the twins would confess to their guilt in all this mess! Erestor has proven to be the more erudite.
Yikes! to Elladan! Righteous indignation can be all well and good, but my goodness! ROFL He does hang himself quite well. He really should watch this tendency of "rolling with it". It could be dangerous.
One never thinks of the gentle Healer of Imladris having an equivalent of the Thranduil glare, but seeing as these two are his sons, I suppose he is rather formidable himself! ;D
The snogging on the bridge was. . . ROFL Poor Elrond. That is not a picture he would want in his head!
The poor twins. They have been outdone by that "Morequendi git" and they know it all too well. But really Elladan! Must you mutter in the presence of your father, who will hear you every time? ?
Erestor cracks me up here! yes, he would be able to recite the bloodlines of everyone present in Imladris at this moment. Of that I am sure, but no one wants to hear it! "Thank you, Erestor, that will do," Elrond said flatly. Exactly. Perhaps some day he will have an appreciative audience. That would probably make him very happy. ;D
Elladan just doesn't learn, does he? Poor dear. He will see this through to the bitter end if it kills him!
LOL Yes, Legolas and his Plan - capital "P".
And yes, my dear Elladan, please look about you when you start to speak as you never know who might be listening to you.
I think that Elladan's obvious astonishment should tell Aragorn something. I think it is time to drop the scruff . . . at least on occasion as it is such a great shock to your family when you do manage to dress nicely and actually shave. . . two days in a row. They will need to get used to this Aragorn son of Arathorn look.
Elladan, Elladan, Elladan. My dear! you are SO out of your league, you should just give up graciously and admit your defeat at the hands of the "doe-eyed Moriquendi git" who doesn't have much Moriquendi blood really. You have been outdone and you might as well just shake hands and say "well done".
Aragorn is very good at posing, I see. :) LOL
Dwarvish curses vs. Rohirric curses. All a matter of taste, I suppose.
Oh Elladan! He proves he doesn't listen well when the Prince is speaking. That may be part of his problem! ;D
Oh dear. Doesn't Elrohir's twin realize that Legolas wants him to retaliate so he will only be able to foil them again? And dear Elladan will do exactly what Legolas wants. He is SO out of his league, but I admit I would like to see the twins pull one over on him just once!
I am glad he realizes their dange, but truly! Does he think he can outwit a "Tricky Wood Elf"? Poor dear. ;D
Oh dear. He had a "Plan" - capital "P". I can't imagine what that would be, but I am wondering if it will work. Doubtful, but now you have me anticipating the Epilogue.
Hilariously Grand Fun. Yes, in capital letters. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Again I apologize for being rather late in reviewing this.
Elenath sila am le!
| Aofyn chapter 4 . 7/30/2003
I think it's funny, and you did a nice angle on Legolas' personality. Of course he'd have a lighter side, though I never thought about it before. Two things though: Isn't Legolas supposed to be around 20 years old by that time? Pardon me if I'm wrong. And weren't the twins off killing orcs while the Council was going on? I've also wondered where fanfic authors got the idea that Elladan and Elrohir were troublemakers, though they could've been. But you wrote good characterizations for them, and your story is well written, so it works.
| RainyDayz who wont sign in today chapter 6 . 7/30/2003
*grabs you in a bear hug and spins you around the room*
You are just one of the funniest, smartest, best writers on earth!
| fliewatuet chapter 6 . 7/30/2003
This was hilarious. Especially the bet between Glorfindel and Erestor, and 'one frequently has cause to giggle in bathing chambers', and all the rest, of course. Now I am curious as to the twin's revenge (and the actual outcome of their attempt) ...
| the evil witch queen chapter 6 . 7/30/2003
Legolas must win! he is, after all, the prince of pranks.
that was an excellent conclusion. i really liked it and now i can't wait for the sequel.
also thanks everso for your review to my little legolas fic, if you wanted to keep reading i just posted the next chapter.
keep up the good work!
| Katherine4 chapter 6 . 7/30/2003
*wow* oh *wow* oh *wow*
That was amazing! Fantastic writing... gorgeous development... hilarious dialogue...
*sighs dreamily* i completely adored your descriptions of Legolas... they were all so lovingly crafted!
*beams* Fantabulous fic! :)
| Eledhwen chapter 6 . 7/30/2003
Oh, I'm laughing so hard! Utterly brilliant, and so funny. Plus, lovely visuals of Aragorn all dressed up - the man cleans up well. :)
| eradicating chapter 6 . 7/30/2003
Finally! I've been waiting for this for a long time...and it was well worth the wait!
| AngelMouse5 chapter 6 . 7/30/2003
For updating. R/L can be a pain.
This was a terrific story, it's one of my all time favourite stories and I love reading it over and over again.
I love the interplay you've got going between Legolas and the twins, and yes, their revenge will definatly be something to see! Please, do more as this is definatly great.
| Fadesintothewest chapter 6 . 7/30/2003
Oh we we definitely will see who gets who. Although I have a feeling Elladan will end up being bested again, and maybe not by whom he directly expects.
It makes it all the more sad, thinking of Legolas as part of the nine walkers, leaving Imladris as you have so wonderfully painted. Elladan and Elrohir, bidding farewell to Estel and Legolas,and likewise.
These elves, they are mad but so damn loveable!

Women's Tennis
Senior captain Anna Depenau clinched the win, with a 6-7(4), 7-6(2), 6-2 victory
March 29, 2014
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The University of San Diego women's tennis team (7-9, 3-3 WCC) pulled out a victory over fellow WCC contender Loyola Marymount (6-11, 0-4 WCC) in thrilling fashion Saturday afternoon at the LMU Tennis Center.
After dropping a tight doubles point, the Toreros stayed mentally tough in a match that would last over five hours. With stellar performances from seniors Idil Haciraifoglu and Anna Depenau, the Toreros defeated the Lions 4-3.
To kick off doubles play, Depenau and freshman Colomba DiFilippo cruised past Ellie Grossman and Lauri Mueller 8-1. The pair are currently on an eight-match winning streak. However, the Lions fired back with a win at the No. 3 spot. With the deciding match on court one, the Lions' Miya Jin and Jessica Perez got the victory over sophomores Shani Blecher and Marta Stojanovic 8-5.
As singles play commenced, LMU extended their lead after an injury forced Blecher to retire on court one. The Toreros would answer with two convincing wins: Stojanovic knocked off Lions' Jessica Perez 6-3, 6-1, while DiFilippo defeated Lauri Mueller 6-2, 6-2. The Lions would gain back their momentum when Ellie Grossman defeated sophomore Mikayla Morkel-Brink 6-3, 6-3.
The remaining matches on court featured the two seniors on the squad: Haciraifoglu at the No. 5 spot and Depenau at the No. 3 spot. Although losing a tight second set, Haciraifoglu got the victory over Lions' Reka Rohonyi 6-1, 4-6, 6-3. It would then come down to Depenau, who is no stranger to marathon matches. Despite losing the first set in a tiebreak, Depenau stayed confident and came back to win the second set 7-6(2). It was then smooth sailing from that point on as Depenau took the third set and the match 6-2.
The Toreros return to action April 8th, at 1:30 p.m. PT for SENIOR DAY. Mark your calendars and come support as the Toreros take on the University of San Francisco.

Dear all,
Thinking of switching jobs. Just wanted to know if anyone could recommend a reputable jobsite advertising 'real' jobs. Also, any employment agencies you might recommend.
I've done loadsa modelling on MATLAB, and am looking for a position where I could put this to use, and hopefully make a living out of! I've sent CV's to some jobsites in the past, but I get the impression that they list fake adverts. Also, I've not had much luck with employment agencies as well.
Any help appreciated!
ps: send me a private message if that's more comfortable for you

Unfortunately I can't advise any other route than applying to everyone you can. Companies frequently have 'sole agency' contracts with particular recruiters, so if you don't apply to many agencies you are effectively cutting yourself off from many potential employers.
Also, keep resending your CV, perhaps every month, to ensure that recruiters know that you are still looking.

The IET offer a jobs website where you can register your details and upload a CV, you can find details of this at: www.theiet.org/jobs or by going to the Jobs section under the Careers and Training tab.
There is also general information on writing a CV and applying for roles in our Career Options section at: www.theiet.org/career-options or by going to the Career Options section which is under the Careers and Training tab.
If you have a specific job profile in mind for the type of work that you are interested in then you may also like to use the online professional development system, Career Manager, to formulate a job profile from recognised engineering frameworks.

If you are sending to employment agencies have you also phoned them a day or so later to have a chat with one of their people? Last time I was looking I built up a good relationship with one recruiter in the North west and got a job offer through him
I made a list of agencies and just went down the list each week looking for the new jobs and applying to the ones that looked good - I found that internet job agencies are quite passive and you have to apply rather than waiting for the jobs to find you.
I would also take a good hard look at the CV as well - not saying yours is bad but any little tweek and additional info is always good

I have a doubt.
MATLAB is to be purchased. But there is a free software namely SCILAB. What are the capabilities of Scilab compared to Matlab for a power engineer?
I have experienced that Scilab can be used for Complex number calculations including Matrix Inverse. What are other uses for a power engineer?
Best wishes & regards

Yes, most advertised jobs do seem to be placed via employment agents, recruitment agencies or other such intermediaries.
I would like to add there are two types of job market in the UK; the advertised job market (based on 20% of the job vacancies) with increased competition from other candidates and the un-advertised or hidden job market (based on 80% of the job vacancies)
The only way to get the number of people needed for engineering is to :
Pay them attractive salaries
Stop treating them like nerds
Have more respect generally for engineering
Have a far higher understanding of what encourages people into engineering
Finally - keep those people still in engineering as engineers (rather than pen-pushers) so as to pass on their knowledge or experience otherwise engineering in the UK will die completely - it is in its final death-throws and another 5-10 years will see it in its grave unless there is a massive change in attitude now.
Engineers are the salvation of this country, and all of its problems.

In the second annual Cisco Global Cloud Index (2011-2016), Cisco forecasts global data center traffic to grow fourfold and reach a total of 6.6 zettabytes annually by 2016. The company also predicts global cloud traffic, the fastest-growing component of data center traffic, to grow sixfold - a 44 percent combined annual growth rate (CAGR) - from 683 exabytes of annual traffic in 2011 to 4.3 zettabytes by 2016.
For context, 6.6 zettabytes is equivalent to:
- 92 trillion hours of streaming music - Equivalent to about 1.5 years of continuous music streaming for the world's population in 2016.
- 16 trillion hours of business Web conferencing - Equivalent to about 12 hours of daily Web conferencing for the world's workforce in 2016.
- 7 trillion hours of online high-definition (HD) video streaming - Equivalent to about 2.5 hours of daily streamed HD video for the world's population in 2016.
The vast majority of the data center traffic is not caused by end users but by data centers and cloud-computing workloads used in activities that are virtually invisible to individuals.
For the period 2011-2016, Cisco forecasts that roughly 76 percent of data center traffic will stay within the data center and will be largely generated by storage, production and development data. An additional 7 percent of data center traffic will be generated between data centers, primarily driven by data replication and software/system updates.
The remaining 17 percent of data center traffic will be fueled by end users accessing clouds for Web surfing, emailing and video streaming.
From a regional perspective, the Cisco Global Cloud Index predicts that through 2016, the Middle East and Africa will have the highest cloud traffic growth rate, while the Asia Pacific region will process the most cloud workloads, followed by North America.
Overview of the Latest Worldwide Market Study:
- The Cisco Global Cloud Index (2011-2016) was developed to estimate global data center and cloud-based Internet Protocol (IP) traffic growth and trends. The Cisco Global Cloud Index serves as a complementary resource to existing network traffic studies, providing new insights and visibility into emerging trends affecting data centers and cloud architectures. The forecast becomes increasingly important as networks and data centers become more intrinsically linked in offering cloud services.
- The Cisco Global Cloud Index includes a "workload transition" forecast, which shows the workload shifting from traditional data centers to more virtualized cloud servers.
- The forecast also includes a supplement on Cloud Readiness Regional Details, which examines the fixed and mobile network abilities of each global region (from nearly 150 countries) to support business and consumer cloud-computing applications and services.
- The Cisco Global Cloud Index is generated by modeling and analysis of various primary and secondary sources, including 40 terabytes of traffic data sampled from a variety of global data centers over the past year; results from more than 90 million network tests over the past two years; and third-party market research reports.
"As cloud traffic continues to proliferate in a new world of many clouds, the Cisco Global Cloud Index provides all cloud computing stakeholders with a very valuable barometer to make strategic, long-term planning decisions. This year's forecast confirms that strong growth in data center usage and cloud traffic are global trends, driven by our growing desire to access personal and business content anywhere, on any device. When you couple this growth with projected increases in connected devices and objects, the next-generation Internet will be an essential component to enabling much greater data center virtualization and a new world of interconnected clouds," said Doug Merritt, senior vice president, Corporate Marketing, Cisco Systems.

The challenge in moving workloads to the cloud has been the cost and complexity of ensuring the initial and ongoing security and regulatory (PCI, HIPAA, FFIEC) compliance across private and public clouds. Manual security compliance is slow, prone to human error, and represents over 50% of the cost of managing cloud applications. Determining how to automate cloud security compliance is critical...

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Similarly large monolithic development processes have been forced to be broken into smaller agile development cycles.

Hiroki Kuroda has generated lots of interest on the trade market, but also lots of intrigue.
The reason for the interest is obvious. Plenty of teams would like to add a starting pitcher, Kuroda is a decent starting pitcher (3.52 career ERA, 3.19 this year) on a one-year contract, and his Dodgers team is obviously out of the race in the National League West. The Tigers have been very interested in Kuroda, and the Yankees, Red Sox, Indians and Brewers are all believed to have shown interest, as well.
The reason for the intrigue: Kuroda has a full no-trade clause, and some people in the game believe that he would invoke it to block a trade.
But the Dodgers continue to explore possible trades, and according to sources they believe that Kuroda could be persuaded to go to a contending team for the final two months of the season. The same sources said that if Kuroda decides to pitch in the major leagues again next year, he would likely only agree to pitch for the Dodgers.
Despite their financial troubles, the Dodgers don't appear to have any interest in dealing their more established stars. The only other Dodgers player whose name regularly comes up in trade talks is Jamey Carroll, who has drawn interest from Brewers.

Community Outreach
Sample of 2014 / 2015 Educational Programs completed at the market or in the Classroom.
Late October: "Oaks and Acorns" with students from The Young School, in Crane Park's Oak Grove. This program is a blend of nature connection, storytelling, an informative slide show, and hands-on stations where kids will crack, shell, winnow, and grind acorn into flour and taste acorn biscuits. Led by Market Educator, (and Nature Mentor) Amanda Tuttle.
September-October 2015: "Color Me Healthy".Classrooms from St. Helena's Elementary and Catholic Schools shopped the market. Students were on "color teams" where they shopped for green, red, orange/yellow, purple/blue and brown/white and brought back a beautiful array of fruits and vegetables to the "Harvest Color Wheel." The teams then shared the health benefits of their color with the Classes, Teachers, Parents and Market Educator, Amanda.
May 2015: "A Bee in the Hive Community".Our Market Beekeeper, Jim Foster, Meadowmont Farm brought his viewing hive and taught S.H. Catholic School Third, Fourth and Fifth Graders about the lives and many jobs of different bees in the hive.
January 2015: "Oaks and Acorns with the First People," with Fourth Grade Classrooms at St. Helena Elementary. This program was a blend of nature connection in an oak grove, storytelling, an informative slide show, and hands-on stations where kids pounded acorn into flour and made acorn biscuits.
December 2014: Students from St. Helena's Pathway School and The Young School made these darling penguins with mini bottleneck gourds, with the help of their art teacher Stephanie Zuntz and Market Educator, Amanda Tuttle.
October 2014: "Food Day".In solidarity with the Napa Valley's chapter of "Food Day," and gatherings all over America, Amanda Tuttle, presented a program discussing eating for color and season, and buying locally at the market with a savvy group of Third and Fourth graders from St. Helena's Catholic School. A Scavenger Hunt throughout the market followed the discussion with Market Educator, Amanda.
August/September 2014: Both at the market and at the St. Helena Public Library's Bilingual Program: "Pajama Rama," Amanda brought the Iroquois story of the "Three Sisters" to life with the oral tradition of storytelling. Kids explored dried and fresh garden beans and corn, through hands on play. At the St. Helena Library kids made Bean and Corn Art Medallions. Both groups at the market and at the library tried "Corn Confetti Custard" from the book "Blue Corn and Chocolate.
And in favorite things, we have listed:

Those who take interest in solar flares have been entertained quite a lot over the past few years. Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) from our Sun hurl massive amounts of charged garbage out into space. The first CME was "seen" by a satellite put up by the lab where I work, with a very primitive pixelated camera that sent a digitized signal to Earth and produced an image on Polaroid film. Perhaps some of the first "hybrid" photography!

Leonard Cohen
In 1967, there were many singers claiming to be poets, but Leonard Cohen was a real poet who was trying to be a singer. And although there are still critics who decry Cohen's singing ability, very few disparage the man's strengths as a wordsmith. These reissues of Cohen's first three albums offer pristine sound, some interesting bonus material and a fresh chance to admire the deceptively simple songs of one of the singular and influential figures to come out of the late '60s counter culture.
Unlike Dylan's, Cohen's lyrics were neither masked by imagery nor beholden to any notion of folk traditionalism. In (often-covered) songs such as "Suzanne," "Sisters of Mercy," "So Long, Marianne" and "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye" (all from Songs of Leonard Cohen), the former Canadian poet laureate detailed personal experience with insights that were profound, explicit and, well, poetic.
The initial flare of his debut was somewhat muted on Songs From a Room and Songs of Love and Hate, but the idealistic truths found in "Bird on a Wire," "Last Year's Man" and "Famous Blue Raincoat" are even now profound and substantial. Although his voice never soared, Cohen's words continue to resonate. His vision was articulate and this 40th anniversary of his original recordings is as good a time as any to appreciate his bohemian charm.

Painting on the sidewalk, in a restaurant, on the beach, a park or any public place can create a different inspiration. We welcome all live art! Please submit only artwork you have created LIVE in front of the public eye. Photographers are also welcome to post photos of artists working in public places, such as performance artists, sidewalk chalkers, and body painters!
