Are people still mad when indie artists end up on the soundtracks to movie franchises that are popular with teenage girls? Or did we get over that with all the Twilight soundtracks? If we're still mad, I imagine we'll find a lot to hate about the upcoming soundtrack for the first Hunger Games film. Not all of the artists have been named for the disc--which is out sometime before the film's spring release date--but we know this: The Decemberists and Arcade Fire have given new tracks to the soundtrack. Arcade Fire actually teamed up with AOR kingpin T-Bone Burnett for their track, so it's not like it's a lost album cut.
The best part? The fact that Taylor Swift, who gets a guest spot from the Civil Wars, is the only other confirmed artist on the soundtrack. The Decemberists, Arcade Fire and Taylor Swift, together at last. [MTV]

The Horse Forum
- Horse Stories and Poems
- - The Fire Horse
The Fire Horse I managed to drag up the first attempt i ever made at writing something. This was a few years ago, so its a bit broken and crazy :oops: The Fire Horse Prologue It is said that up in the Australian mountains, there is a horse with a mane and tail made of fire. This stallion owns the most beautiful herd in the world. His mares all have golden, cream or silver coats. Several brumby hunters have recorded sightings of this mysterious stallion, but none can ever find it. It is said that the Fire Horse knows all the secret grounds right over the mountains, ones that man cannot see. Chapter 1 The fire stallion never used to made of fire. He was once a golden horse, with the beautiful herd that no man could ever find. But the Fire Horse was a curious horse and one day his curiosity got the better of him. He went wondering into the man's camp, and his mane and tail caught on fire. It was unusual, usually the horse might have died or its mane be entirely gone, but the fire horse just stayed fire. His red, orange and yellow colours blazing out behind him in the sun and during the night. Whenever he ran, it looked like his mane and tail were streaming out behind him, in a never-ending blaze. The Fire Horse was named after the night he was born on; his name was Storm. As he grew up from a foal, his name seemed to match him perfectly. When he neighed, it sounded like the thunder from a thunderstorm. Storm had one best friend who had come to the herd with her mother after the herd leader Werrian won a battle with another stallion Razzie. ~~~ It was a late, windy night when Werrian returned after his tiresome battle. With him he bought two healthy looking mares. One bay and one chestnut, both of which had foals. He also brought with him a tired looking cream, with a foal that resembled her mother perfectly. This foals name was Sundance, because the sun danced upon her coat. Storm, was curious, even as a foal, so he slowly wandered over towards the mare and her foal, even though his mother Chilli was calling him back urgently. When he reached them, he snuffed Sundance and his mum, then nickered his greeting then trotted back to Chilli. Chilli cantered over worriedly and led Storm away. Storm looked over towards Sundance and gave her a silent nickname, Sunny. He whinnied to her and she whinnied back. That night none of the horses slept well, and when daylight came, all of them were awake, except Sundance's mother. She had died during the night. Sundance was standing over her dead mother's body, nuzzling her, saying "wake up, it's time to get up." Storm walked over to her and greeted her. Then he turned around and took a few steps then turned his head and said to Sundance "Come with me, my mother will feed us both." And with that, Storm turned and trotted back to his mother. Sundance looked torn when Storm turned to face her. She was deciding whether to leave her dead mother and join Storm, or to stay with her mother, despite her being dead. Eventually she decided to join Storm. She wandered slowly over, looking back at her mother all the time. When she reached Storm, his mother welcomed her. "It's nice to meet you Sundance. My name is Chilli. Storm will take you and show you his secret hideout." And with that she turned and walked over to her friend Mori, where she started grazing. Chapter 2 "Come on Sunny! I'm going to show you a really cool hideout. I love it because you can hide from Arrow, the really big steel grey foal over there." Storm started walking over to the forest. Sundance was following him nervously, but with each step becoming more excited. "My mother used to hate me." Sundance confided in Storm," I was rather small at birth and my mother was worried of what the herd would think of me. She would bite me and kick me and torture me for being so small. I was lucky she didn't kill me." "It's all right now though Sunny, Chilli loves you, I can tell. Oh look, we've reached the first part of the hideout. It's bit damp in here, but otherwise it's fine. Just wait till we reach the end!" Storm led Sundance deeper and deeper into the tunnel. Eventually they saw a light a light at the end. Storm and Sundance walked towards it, until they were outside. "Oh Storm it's beautiful! Sundance exclaimed. Storm had led her to a secret valley. The hills were made of the most luscious green grass that Sunny had ever seen. Running through the hills was a little stream with crystal clear water. Sundance walked over to it, dipped her head and took a sip. "This is the best water I've ever tasted." said Sundance. "Isn't it the only water you've ever tasted?" teased Storm. The foals romped and roamed over the hills for hours until Storm raised his head to the darkening sky. "Quick Sunny, we must get home! A big storm is coming, I can feel it!" And no sooner had Storm said that, there was a deafening crack of lightning. ~~~ The two foals started galloping back home. Sundance was terrified; she had never heard anything like it before. Storm was talking to her, calming her down. They ran like the wing, dodging boulders and trees. They trotted quickly and carefully through the tunnel because the floor was getting rather wet and slippery. Once they got to the end of the tunnel, they started galloping towards the herd. Chilli was waiting anxiously for the pair. When they reached her she quickly said "Come on quickly! We must reach higher grounds before the full front of the storm hits!" Chilli turned and started galloping up the hills. Storm started to follow her but realised that Sundance was to tired. He trotted back to her and urged her on. "Come on Sunny, you can do it, I know you can!" Storm started leading Sundance slowly up the hill. The storm front hit just when they reached the top. Sundance started shaking, she was scared, but Storm talked her into a comfortable canter. They cantered together for what seemed like ages, until they caught up with the herd. Chilli was waiting anxiously for them up at the hill. When she saw them coming she neighed anxiously to them. " Hurry up! The storms here! We must find shelter quick! Follow me, and don't get left behind!" Chilli whirled around on her hind legs and started galloping towards the more rockier, dangerous part of the mountains. |
I like it! Keep going!! :D |
I would like to hear more! |
I love it! It's really cool to read a book from a horses point of view. Please write more! |

'Dancing with the Stars' is undergoing more of an overhaul this season than some of its stars' faces.
As producers are still 'Star' searching for a new co-host to replace the departing Samantha Harris, now comes word they're down a professional dancer too.
Lacey Schwimmer announced via Twitter that she won't be returning to the show this season. On Friday she Tweeted the news:
"Hey twitterbugs! I will not be doing DWTS this season. But be sure to tune in! <3." Later she added, "I'm off to bed! I'm sad I will not be on this season of #dwts too yall! Biglove<3".
No word on if the decision was Schwimmer's or the show's, or what her future plans are.
And just as 'DWTS' fans were beginning to warm-up to the 'So You Think You Can Dance' alum too. Quickly establishing a reputation as the dance floor rebel, Lacey brought a little more of her 'So You Think' dance funk to the ballroom than the judges were ready for, earning her some harsh criticisms early on. She also received some flack in the press over her weight during her three seasons on the show.
Schwimmer got her dancing-on-air break by making the Final Four on 'SYTYCD' Season 7. Seven must be her lucky number, because she first appeared as a pro dancer on Season 7 of 'DWTS,' where she came in third place with celeb partner Lance Bass. She was then paired with a 'Jackass' (Steve-O) in Season 8 and sizzled with 'Iron Chef' Mark Dascasco last season.
A replacement for Schwimmer has not been announced. Does anyone know what Julianne Hough is doing these days? How's that music career working out for her?
The celebrity cast for Season 10 of 'DWTS' will be revealed in tidbits during the season finale of 'The Bachelor' on March 1. The new 'Dancing' season kicks off on March 22.
Will you miss Lacey on 'DWTS'? Which dance pro should replace her? Maybe Season 1 favorite Ashly DelGrosso? Would you like to see Julianne back in her 'Dancing' shoes? What did you think of last season's new pro Anna Demidova?

Categories Comments Campus Safety Our campus security operates 24/7. We have numerous security officers that ride around campus every hour of every day. Whenever we need to walk somewhere at night and we do not have anyone to walk with us across campus, we just call one of the officers and they offer us a ride. Huntingdon is in general a safe campus. Everyone here is family and we all protect each other like family would. All of our staff and faculty make sure that our campus is a safe and secure as possible because they want what is best for us! When you come to Huntingdon, you know you are in a safe place.
Greek Life Here at Huntingdon we have 3 sororities and 3 fraternities on campus. Our fraternities and sororities can play a big part in campus life. They host awesome swaps (get together with other sororities or fraternities) and sponsor events. They also all have different philanthropies that go towards a certain cause. They even have their very own tailgating parties at all the home football games right down in the endzone! Greek life is an amazing way to get involved on campus and make friendships that will last forever!
Clubs and Activities We have over 50 clubs and organizations on campus. We have academic, political, musical, social, activism, creative, and influential clubs. There is something here for everyone to do. We also have intramural sports to participate in if intercollegiate athletics isn't quite your style. In clubs, we offer tons that spark any type of interest you may have. We have academic and honor societies for the brainy student. We have political and social groups such as the College Republicans, College Democrats, and the Voice of Justice (club that promotes the stop of human sex trafficking). We have art club, drama club, music clubs, and about anything you can name. And if you don't find something that you like, well you can even create your on club! In intramurals, we have sports like flag football, basketball, volleyball, softball, and soccer. You can make your own team or even participate with your sorority or fraternity!
Great for these types of students The great thing about Huntingdon is that it isn't a college for any particular type of student, there is absolutely anything for anyone to enjoy here. We have clubs and activities, sports, music groups, worship groups, campus ministries, academic societies, and Greek life. We enjoy all of our students and welcome all here. We support our hawks in all that they do!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus If you have read 13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffery by Kathryn Tucker Windham and Margaret Gillis Figh, then you know all about Huntingdon's Red Lady or should I say Martha. Martha is a ghost that haunts the 4th floor of Pratt Hall (former residence hall that now hosts Greek Life). The story is a pretty intense one and I believe that you should look up that one on your own. However, I will tell you that every year near Halloween, Greek Life hosts the Red Lady Run - it's pretty scary, especially when tons of Greek girls run through the halls screaming for Martha!! Tim Burton's movie, Big Fish, was filmed on Huntingdon's campus - in the movie is was designated as Auburn University. An unusual location on campus would have to be the fountain located in front of Flower's Hall. Many people who visit Huntingdon figure that this fountain was just a part of history just like the rest of the school. But wrong! During the movie, the producers wanted the fountain placed in front of the building just for the movie. So they paid for the renovations and moved the fountain in front of Flowers! Another tradition, keptery, very secret, is the tradition of Oracle Hunt performed by Juniors and Seniors every year as a right of passage. But that is all I can say!
Bang for the buck Huntingdon is a 4-year private Liberal Arts college so cost of attendance is sort of pricey. But, Huntingdon also offers numerous and generous financial aid packages. Even though it might seem like much, this college is an amazing place. We offer a laptop computer to all incoming Freshman and transfer students. We also over optional study abroad trips for Juniors and Seniors. We have great internship opportunities and clinical/lab experiences. Here at Huntingdon, you receive knowledge, wisdom, love, friendship, recognition, and most of all, family. So the price that you pay to attend college here, it is well spent. You get all the college experience that you hope for right here.
What to do for fun Huntingdon College is located in Montgomery, Alabama which is the state capital. Montgomery has so many fun things to do including lots and lots of food choices nearby! There is the Shakespeare Theater where you can catch a good Shakespeare play. There is also the Capri Theater right down the road from campus that shows amateur, but awesome plays. We also have karaoke places, ice skating, museums, great shopping places, awesome music festivals/concerts, bowling, arcades, movies, and much more. Anywhere fun that you wind up, chances are, you will see some Huntingdon people there. Montgomery is also home to 4 residential colleges and several community colleges. Alabama State University, Auburn University - Montgomery, and Faulkner University are also located here in Montgomery. It is awesome getting to meet other college kids that live in your area. It is especially awesome getting to meet them on your 2 am trip to Waffle House!
Food and Dining The food here at Huntingdon is outstanding. We have Julia Russell Dining Hall and also the Coffee House on campus. The Dining Hall (DH) serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Monday-Friday and brunch and dinner on the weekends. The Coffee House serves coffee, snacks, and other frozen foods and drinks. The DH is set up basically like a Golden Corral. It is a buffet type deal and they have many different things to choose from. Everyday there is something different except for the pizza bar and salad bar that is there everyday. We are famous for our Taco Tuesdays and Fried Chicken Thursday. You won't want to miss out on that. And if you think you will miss mom or dad's home cooking, think again. We have all kinds of choices and a lot of them are down-home foods that will make you feel like you are at the dinner table back at home. On certain days we have celebrations that we incorporate different foods. The dining hall staff go all out like for Mardi Gras that we had not too long ago! And our DH staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. They are always there to help you in any way, all while doing it with a smile.
Dorm Life From my personal experiences here at Huntingdon, we have a great dorm atmosphere. I have had an amazing experience living here. As a small school, we have 3 residence halls. Ligon (Freshman women), Searcy (Freshman men), and Blount (Co-ed Upperclassmen). I really enjoyed coming in as a Freshman and living in the Freshman dorms. I have a lot of classes with most of my friends who live in my residence hall. The best part about living in a same-sex underclassmen dorm is that whenever you need your best friend or someone to talk to, they are just a yell down the hall - literally. Another great part about living here is the get-togethers that we have. We watch late-night movies in the lobby or play games and hangout. Living on campus in one of the residence halls is probably the best experience you can have at college - particularly here at Huntingdon College.
Academic Rigor We have 22 different majors, some having different and interesting concentrations. We also have great Pre-Professional programs that have exceptional graduate, medical, dental, and veterinary school acceptance rates. The academic rigor can be challenging, depending on your major and your overall academic abilities. But we have amazing professors who are highly educated (graduating from Duke, Harvard, University of Chicago, University of Alabama, etc.) who are generally interested in your success. They want what is best for you and will help you in any way they can. As long as you apply yourself and study hard, you can ace any class!
Tips for prospective students As a prospective student, you should of course look at all that Huntingdon has to offer you. Explore your interests. What did you do in high school that you think you might want to continue in college? Did you play in the band? We have a marching band and various spring ensembles. Maybe you played sports? We have 8 men's teams and 7 women's teams participating in NCAA Division III. Maybe you have a new interest that you want to endure in college. Look at our clubs and activities! We have over 50! We have a lot to offer here at Huntingdon, so I advise that you look into what Huntingdon has to offer YOU and get ready for one amazing ride!
In three sentences Here at Huntingdon you are not a number nor a letter. You are not just another face in the crowd. Here at it is not clich�©, because here at Huntingdon College, you are family.

Great for these types of students Well-rounded and athletes
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Beware of the Red Lady. It is rumored that the Red Lady haunts one of the older halls.
Bang for the buck The College is a littel expensive, but the family experience you'll have is worth it. I never even visited another college. I knew Huntindgon was the perfect fit. I was right. I love Huntingdon and all of friends that I have made.
What to do for fun There are malls close by for shopping. Lots of movie theaters and places to bowl. The college provides numerous music bands during the year. During senior year, seniors take a trip. The places I've heard that they go are overseas. It's the event of a lifetime.
Food and Dining The dining hall is really good, especially Fried Chicken Thursdays. Breakfast is great too. The dining hall was recently renovated. It is amazing. The food is awesome. Always hot and fresh. The dining hall is also open at times that are convenient for its students.
Dorm Life I love living in a dorm. Everyone borrows each others clothes, jewelry, etc. It's like we are living with a bunch of sisters. Love, love living in the dorm. Refridgerator is provided. We are allowed to decorate our rooms and doors for our taste or for the season.
Academic Rigor Huntingdon's classes are not easy. Studying is a major priority. There is plenty of time to study. School is out on days baseball and football games are away. Huntingdon has a 100% rate for most Pre-Professional studies. 100% of their students enter Pharmacy College, Dental College, etc.
Tips for prospective students Get ready to study, but the teachers/doctors are very helpful. Most are willing to stay after class or meet later for extra tutoring. You are not a number at Huntingdon. You are a person and you are surrounded by people who care about you and your success.
In three sentences Huntingdon College is absolutely amazing. There are activities almost everyday. I'm in a sority and everyone is so nice.

Dorm Life I love it here in the dorms. Some of the other girls have become sisters to me. Living in the dorms is like gaining a new larger family.
Academic Rigor This school is fairly difficult, and tests your abilities. If you are successful you have truly accomplished something great in life.
Tips for prospective students Tips for future students are that if you do your best and give it all you got at this school you too will find that it could be your second home.
In three sentences I love Huntingdon College, it has become a second home to me. The professors here are amazing, and are willing to work with you through anything. This school was one of my greatest decisions in life.

Movers and Shakers: Charles Stanley & Co appoints Celia Mason as a financial planner
PUBLISHED: 16:34 26 November 2012
CHARLES Stanley & Co has expanded the team at its Ipswich office with the arrival of Celia Mason as a financial planner.
Celia joins the long established branch, one of the oldest in Charles Stanley's 32-strong branch network, after a career as a finance director and pension fund trustee.
Mark Marshall, branch manager at Charles Stanley in Ipswich, welcomed Celia.
"As an independently-owned firm, we pride ourselves on constructing bespoke wealth management solutions for each individual client, so a financial planner is an excellent addition to our team.
"Celia brings a wealth of business experience, and enables us to offer our clients integrated advice on their overall financial situation. This includes tax-effective savings, pensions, annuities, and inheritance tax planning strategies," he said.
Celia recently returned to her home in Suffolk, after a "mid-life gap year" which saw her, and her husband Anthony, sail 16,000 miles, including two crossings of the Atlantic. Before departing on her trip, she worked for businesses including Hay Group, Richard Ellis and Alphameric. She holds the Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning, the benchmark for financial advisers in the new post-RDR regulatory environment.
Celia said: "In today's difficult conditions, it is important that all clients maximise the efficiency of their hard-earned savings, and feel confident that they have found the best ways of passing wealth down through the generations. At the same time, financial planning is about more than money; it is not just picking a package off the shelf. Planning has to be about understanding the client's lifestyle, plans and aspirations, and working out what is the best solution for them and their family."
: : EAST of England law firm Birketts LLP has announced that Stephen Wright and Susan Young have joined the firm's private client team.
Stephen, who has been made an associate, joins the firm from Abbiss Cadres Solicitors while Susan joins as a solicitor from Gepp & Sons. Stephen has worked for leading city and regional law firms for more than 10 years and advises private and corporate clients on tax and trust matters including giving tax advice to offshore and non domiciled clients. Susan specialises in private client work including drafting wills, dealing with estate administration and tax planning advice.
Stephen said: "Birketts have a strong private client practice and have shown a real commitment to clients in the East of England which is what attracted me in the first place. I'm looking forward to working in a dedicated team with a huge pool of resources and an exceptionally caring attitude to clients."
Susan said it was "an exciting opportunity". "Birketts has developed an excellent reputation in the law world for the quality of its private client work, and joining the team here is a chance I couldn't let pass," she said.
Tim Galloway, who leads the private client division at Birketts, said: "I am delighted to welcome Stephen and Susan to the private client team. Their experience and extensive knowledge of the private client sector will allow us to maximise development opportunities for the firm. The strengthening of our team underlines our commitment to growing our private client base."
: : NINE new recruits are starting their careers in accountancy with Lovewell Blake working at its offices across Norfolk and Suffolk.
"We've had tremendous interest in training with us and it's one profession you can enter from either graduate or A level status," said Keith Shorten, training partner with Lovewell Blake. "We're again very impressed by the quality and potential of the recruits and we wish them well as they enter the profession.
"As our firm expands across the region, we need to ensure we have the highly qualified accountants, tax professionals and business advisers to serve business and private clients into the future."
The graduates are Victoria Brooks who works at the Norwich office and is studying for ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales), and Lisa Cornwall who is at the firm's new Bury St Edmunds premises and is studying for ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
Chelsey Ryder, Amy Hicks and Ben Gibbins are also working in the Norwich office, Jordan Coombes and Alex Durrant are at Great Yarmouth, Mercedes Bullman is at Lowestoft and Gemma Ward at Halesworth. They are studying for their Association of Accounting Technicians exams, one step towards ACCA or ICAEW qualification.
Chelsey commented: "I chose Lovewell Blake because of its strong professional reputation and for the work ethic everybody has — and I've found a friendly atmosphere here with everyone always willing to help."
: : IPSWICH law firm Watkins Stewart & Ross has announced that Daniel Ager, pictured above right, has joined the firm as a solicitor within the firm's thriving private client department.
Daniel brings with him a wealth of experience gained at established and well respected practices in East Anglia. He will use his expertise to advise clients in relation to wills, probates, trusts, tax planning, court of protection, powers of attorney and elderly client work.
: : BARCLAYS has appointed Duncan Childs as a new relationship director in the corporate banking team for Essex.
Duncan has re-joined Barclays having left in December 2001 to join RBS, where he has spent the last 10 years working in commercial and corporate teams in the financial services sector.
He will be based at Barclays' offices in Priory Place, New London Road, Chelmsford and will look after clients in the Essex area, bringing with him his sector expertise in the areas of insurance and financial services from his previous roles.
"It's a great opportunity to work with local companies whilst bringing sector expertise to the team. Having moved to Chelmsford three years ago, I know there is a great business community in the area and I look forward to building on the many valued client relationships we have," he said.
Duncan lives in Chelmsford and outside of work enjoys playing and coaching football, golf and spending time with his family and sons.
: : COLCHESTER-based Healthcare Homes, a residential and nursing care home provider, has appointed experienced healthcare professional Fiona Kane as service development manager for both its residential and homecare services, with responsibility for identifying synergies between the domiciliary and residential care services with an aim to developing the group's integrated care strategies.
She is responsible for working in partnership with Healthcare Homes' operational support teams and regional managers to identify service enhancements that can be made, to ensure the quality of service delivered remains at its highest possible level.
Prior to joining Healthcare Homes, Fiona held various business development and operational management roles in the independent care sector including Care UK, Shaw Healthcare and The Freemantle Trust.
Chief operating officer David Bates said: "We are very happy to welcome Fiona Kane to the business as service development manager. She brings a huge amount of experience from the residential and homecare sectors, including specialist dementia-based services expertise. Fiona has a keen eye for detail and so it will be interesting to receive her ongoing guidance with regards to how our residential and domiciliary services can work in tandem, for the best interests of our current and future service users."
Fiona said: "I am delighted to join Healthcare Homes, which has an excellent reputation for its residential, nursing and homecare services across the eastern counties. I look forward to working with the team to identify ways in which the existing care offer can be enhanced or extended, for the benefit of the elderly people who live at our residential homes or receive home-based care services via our Manorcourt Homecare division."

The combination of epilepsy and pregnancy might seem risky, but the odds are in your favor. Find out how to promote a healthy pregnancy.
Epilepsy during pregnancy can pose some unique concerns. However, most women who have epilepsy deliver healthy babies. If you have epilepsy and are considering pregnancy, here's what you need to know.
Some drugs used to treat seizures might contribute to infertility. However, certain anti-seizure medications can also reduce the effectiveness of hormonal birth control methods.
Seizures during pregnancy can cause:
Every woman reacts to pregnancy differently. For most pregnant women who have epilepsy, seizures remain the same. For a few, seizures become less frequent. For others, particularly women who are sleep deprived or don't take medication as prescribed, pregnancy increases the number of seizures.
Any medication you take during pregnancy can affect your baby. Birth defects — including cleft palate, neural tube defects, skeletal abnormalities, and congenital heart and urinary tract defects — are the primary concern with anti-seizure medications.
For babies whose mothers take anti-seizure medication, the risk of major birth defects is 4 to 6 percent — compared with 2 to 3 percent for all babies. The risk seems to be highest when more than one anti-seizure medication is taken and when a form of the anti-seizure medication valproate (Depacon, Depakote, Depakote ER, others) is used.
A few women can safely taper off their medication before pregnancy. For most women, however, it's best to continue treatment during pregnancy. To minimize the risks for you and your baby, your health care provider will prescribe the safest medication and dosage that's effective for your type of seizures.
Beyond the effects of medications, babies born to mothers who have epilepsy also have a slightly higher risk of developing seizures as they get older.
Before you try to conceive, schedule an appointment with the health care provider who'll be handling your pregnancy. Also meet with other members of your health care team, such as your family doctor or neurologist. They'll evaluate how well you're managing your epilepsy and consider any treatment changes you might need to make before pregnancy begins.
Take your anti-seizure medication exactly as prescribed. Don't adjust the dose or stop taking the medication on your own. Remember, uncontrolled seizures likely pose a greater risk to your baby than does any medication.
It's also important to make healthy lifestyle choices. For example:

Wait, what was I talking about?AdvertisementWe're more than two years out from Dwayne and Siohvaughn Wade's separation, but the lawsuits are still flying.

Year Book of the Krimmer Mennonite Brethren (KMB) Church was first published in 1905, reporting the 26th Conference Session held at the Salem KMB Church, Bridgewater, South Dakota. The 500 copies of this first pamphlet of 8 pages, 3.62 x 6 inches, were printed entirely in German by the Rundschau, Elkhart, IN. It is published annually for the purpose of distributing information of its activities among its churches, and to preserve an official record. The pamphlet contains reports of the work carried on by the Conference during that year through its committees and its churches, as well as the recommendations and resolutions adopted by the delegates for the new year. Until 1938 it was published in German; 1939-44 it contained reports in both languages; since 1945 it has been published in English. The pamphlet has been enlarged to 85-95 pages, 5.25 x 8 inches. The Fifty-third Year Book, submitting the report of the 78th Session, was published in 1957.

Comment Re:DVB recordings with dishentwork are awesome. (Score 1) 281
Indeed, I'm also quite interested. I doubt it can do HD recording (or can it?), but I'd be quite interested to know more. I want to simplify things around the house, and do so at a minimal cost--the $199 lease upgrade fee for a new HD PVR from Dish is a bit much.

GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Will Owens went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored and Furman's bullpen turned in another strong performance in propelling the Paladins to an 8-3 victory over Toledo in baseball action Friday afternoon at Latham Stadium.
Furman (5-5) and Toledo (3-4) are scheduled to play game two of the three-game weekend series on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
Owens reached base and scored his first two times to the plate and delivered an RBI single in the fourth inning to give Furman a 6-3 lead.
Hunter Burton, who also had two hits in the contest, stretched the advantage to 8-3 an inning later with a two-out, RBI single that drove home Paul Nitto and Alex Abrams.
The Paladins finished with 10 hits, including a pair of singles by Will Miller. Zack Greenwell also drove in two runs.
Furman starter Bobby Lyne (2-1) used the solid run support from his teammates to overcome early trouble. The senior right-hander allowed a run in the second and two in the third before settling down to retire the Rockets in order in the fourth and fifth.
In this sixth Furman's defense aided Lyne as an accurate relay throw from second baseman Will Muzika to Greenwell retired Toledo's Matt Delewski at the plate following a Dan Zuchowski double. Lyne then yielded a single before being replaced by Stephen Gary, who induced a double play grounder to end the inning.
Gary worked 1 2/3 innings of one-hit relief and combined with Matt Solter and Alex Abrams to help Furman's bullpen toss two-hit, shutout ball over the final 3 2/3 frames.
The Paladins grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first and added three more in the second for a 4-1 lead against Toledo starting and losing pitcher Mike Hamann (0-2), who yielded eight runs, seven of which were earned, on eight hits in four-plus innings. He walked three and struck out one.
Zuchowski led the Rockets at the plate with a 3-for-4, 2-RBI performance.

By Daniel Greenfield —— Bio and Archives October 21, 2009
From the fluttering blue flag of the U.N. with its stylized symbol of the map of the world enclosed by olive tree branches, to the whole collection of global organizations and imagery right down to posters featuring children from every country holding hands, and the rest of the globalist propaganda—Americans have been imprinted as never before from a very early age with the idea that they are part of a global community, rather than merely one nation. But behind the olive branches and the posters of smiling children, lies a very different truth entirely.
The entire notion that there is a world community is itself mostly a myth. The United Nations does represent most of the nations of the world, except for the really unpopular ones. But it does not represent the peoples of the world, only the heads of their regimes. And since most of the UN consists of nations that are not democracies and that do not have truly free and open elections—the UN's much ballyhooed global community is nothing more than the well paid lackeys of tyrants, dictators, sheiks and assorted Third World leaders, along with their First World enablers.
Paradoxically the more the UN's membership expanded, the less democratic it became—because most of the nations who joined were not democracies with open elections. As a result the expanding UN became a tool of tyrants, beginning with the USSR which successfully turned the UN into an Anti-Western body to serve its own agenda, with only the Security Council retaining some shards of decency.
Behind the fluttering blue flag and smiling multiracial children, are the representatives of a great many dictatorships dining out at expensive New York restaurants on your dime. Turtle Bay is not the home of a kinder and gentler world. It is the home of every two bit thug who wants to spend 3 hours ranting about his pet causes, as everyone from Khrushchev to Castro to Arafat to Chavez to Khadafi have demonstrated for us.
To accept the idea that tyrants and their appointed lackeys represent some sort of global consensus that supersedes the wishes of the free people of democratic nations such as the United States or Canada, is to embrace a global consensus that is undemocratic and even anti-democratic in nature, that rejects individual freedoms in favor of tyranny. And that in a nutshell is exactly what the United Nations is about.
Nor is it the exception to the rule. Centralization and federalization innately leads to less freedom and democracy, because the greater the scope of a system, the less veto power the public has over it. Even the EU, which is composed of individually democratic nations, openly disdained Ireland's No vote, insisting that the process would go forward regardless. That is an inevitable outcome when a political system becomes so large that it can only be run by bureaucrats and diplomats who have six degrees of separation between them and any actual electorate… a dangerous situation that eventually allows them to cut the electorate out of the process altogether.
The conglomeration of bureaucracy and politicians without an electorate, translates into a political elite that becomes indistinguishable from tyranny. That is what the EU is, and that is what the UN aspires to be, a global government that answers to the powerful, not to the people. Presenting the bureaucrats and diplomats as representing something higher and nobler, a larger unity, helps the bitter medicine of tyranny go down easier, but no amount of blue flags, smiling children and talk about unity can entirely obscure the fact that such a transition is one that leaves democracy behind in favor of oligarchy.
What is so appealing about that larger unity anyway? The United States had its chance at a larger unity within a semi-democratic system ruled from London. Instead the Founders chose to fight a war in order to be able to make their own decisions locally by the American people. The UN and virtually every international organization erodes that right, in the name of compromise, brotherhood or just plain international political consolidation.
Politicians who already work within large political systems, find the idea of upscaling those systems immensely appealing. Somehow a system that serves 100 million people is better than one that serves 10 million people, and one that serves a billion people is even better. But in fact larger systems have a way of being less efficient and more wasteful, as well as far less democratic. The larger the political system, the more it's meant to grind the town meeting under it, to reduce the individual to a single vote or a political crank if he insists on political involvement, without traditional forms of political affiliation.
We are told repeatedly that multilateral policymaking is better than the unilateral kind. Which is a fancy way of saying that a committee is smarter than an individual, a notion that simply doesn't hold up. A committee is best at achieving a compromise that serves the interests of the more numerous or the more powerful. It is however least likely to achieve a worthwhile solution, only one that its members can agree on. And if most of those members answer to tyrants rather than to citizens, those agreements will be ones that serve the interests of tyrants.
That is why the UN brays incessantly about human rights, but only as a cudgel with which to beat those few member states who actually do have human rights. You will not see the Saudi treatment of women or the Chinese treatment of political dissidents on the table at the UN. But should an American drone take out a terrorist, or Israeli soldiers stand guard to keep terrorists out, should Western countries refuse Third World refugees or try to hold on to their free speech—then the UN is naturally on the case.
The United Nations is not a world community, it is a community of tyrants. There is no world community, because most of the people of the world are not free to have any say in their own lives. To talk about the UN as if it has any moral standing, is as ridiculous as getting the guards and inmates of a prison to vote together on what conditions inside the prison should be like. The UN is not a force for peace, it is a force for maintaining the political status quo for its louder voices, and for grinding under those free countries they consider their enemies.
One day when all men are free, when the citizens of Muslim nations may believe what they choose, when the Chinese and Russian secret police forces have gone the way of the Gestapo, when the people of every nation can vote in free and open elections for the candidates of their choice—then we may talk of a world community. But for now the rights of the citizens of free countries can only be vested in the autonomy of their own political systems. Any international agreements that compromise the independence of their political systems, also compromise the freedom of their citizens and the accountability of their representatives.

Okay so I went to my local Verizon store to get a new phone because I dropped my Bionic. When I called the warehouse or whatever to get a replacement, they said they didn't have any Bionics in stock so instead they would send me a Droid Razr 2. I've been trying to look for a Razr 2 online but I haven't found one. Does this mean I am going to get the Razr M, Razr HD, or are they just messing with me? Thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!!
This just goes to show how clueless Verizon employees are. That one would even utter the words "RAZR two", it's borderline offensive to know so little about your product. But I've delt with them enough times to believe that they wouldn't know any better (not all, I'm sure there are good ones somewhere)
Razr with no MicroSD card is the second release of the Razr. If you have a Bionic and they offer a replacement, make sure you tell them you have extra batteries and you want a Maxx since the Razr has no option for battery removal.

I really like this poem. Just sensible advice said poetically. His book is available on Amazon, but hey, poets….consider publishing for Kindle, please. Trust me on this. You will be far more widely read if you publish in a format that people can read on their Kindle/iPad/Ereader.

Pros: Deep and detailed bass, but it's all controlled. Great soundstage, excellent natural resolution to instruments.
Cons: A few times thought they were bright, not mentioned in review because quality of tracks weren't the best.
Tested on various classical and jazz pieces, found the SD3 to give commanding performance on all. Note, I used high quality flac versions of all songs tested.
SD3's are about two days old and have about 8 hours on them, hardly broken in.
They were bought from this shop and imported into the states at the regular retail price.
Eartips used were Sony hybrids, peach inner color.
Equipment used: Burson Audio Soloist, Eastern Electric Minimax Tube Dac with Musical Fideltiy V-Link for usb support with a Windows pc (self built). As just mentioned, flac files, played through foobar at default settings, no eq used.
Acoustic jazz (Fred Hersh - Heartsong, McCoy Tyner - Miss Bea, Lenny Andrade - Maiden Voyage)
Saxophones sound full and rich with that great open sound that they have, pianos have that percussive quality as they should, bass is natural and noticeable but as part of the general sound presentation as required by the music - equal with other instruments, not lost, but not in your face. Lead instruments, such as trumpets, take center stage and are the obvious lead performers during the solos. While all the obvious rhythm instruments, piano, drums, bass all do their parts without being lost. Bass are warm and sweet, cymbals crisp and never lost in the mix.
In Lenny's interpretation of Maiden Voyager, her voice is immediate, earthy, and sensuous. She sounds like she's singing right next to you, while the bass, piano, and other instruments are a few feet away. Bass has excellent decay on this song, staying just long enough as a fine glass of red wine would on ones taste palate as it's being sipped. Yet, never getting in the way of any other instrument or Lenny's vocals.
Overall, great atmosphere, with excellent wide sound stage, and natural sounding tones.
I can see why the SD3 would be loved by a stage musician.
Vocal music (using Chesky Records - The Ultimate Demonstration Disk - There is a Rose in Spanish Harlem - Rebeca Pidgeon
This song starts with a bass lead, quickly followed by Rebeca's vocals taking center stage, bass politely going into its background rhythm mode, Rebeca's vocals sound natural and full, you can hear her breathing at times, but never sibilant. Piano comes in sounding as natural as one would expect. Strings come in later, sounding rich and lush as expected in this type of music. Constanellas (sp?) play in the background, sounding quite natural.
Rebeca's vocals control the center stage, in my teen years I loved the original version of this song, Rebeca's interpretation of the song, as heard on my SD3 is just amazing, sends goosebumps up my spine - no really. Again, I'm sitting right next to Rebecca, my wife is going to get jealous.
I can go on and on, depth reproduction, sound stage, all sound excellent.
Classical test: From Chesky Records - The Ultimate Demonstration Disk -Britten- Festival Te Deum- Westminster Choir
Okay, I'm sitting in the middle of the church, with the choir's sound enveloping me. The microphone for this performance was hung from the air above the choir, and that is how it comes off with the SD3, you get a sense of openness with the sound, choir hits all the notes clearly and distinctly. The organ has a slight bit of warmth, but that is intentional. Organ is firmly in the background, vocals very upfront. Notes change quickly in the later part of this performance, and all is handled well.
Stravinsky- The Royal March -Solisti New York
This piece has many changes in musical volume, and instruments coming in and out of the sound, making for a good test for complex classical movements. The piece starts off with a march motif, which it comes back to several times. Again, the SD3 handles all the changes well, including the volume changes throughout, the speed of the trumpets, and the the drums. The drums and horns sound clear and again, natural.
Solo bass - very natural with great decay, nice bass detail.
Solo drums - again, very natural with clear and nice prat. Cymbals sound natural.
Finally - going back to the pop side of things:
James Blake - limit to your love:
James vocals sound soulful and rich, piano accompaniment sounds natural and spot on, then at about 50-60 seconds into the song, your ears just go WOW.
Final words, SD3's are not just for electronic music as they may have originally been intended. Musical reproduction is first rate, with an easy and commanding handling of all genres tested, classical, jazz, and vocal music. As has been said, bass reproduction is deep and detailed, but appropriate for the recording.
I'm quite happy with my SD3's.

The kitchen – seriously how much of a Mom's time is spent here? For me, it's where my three year old's education primarily takes place. Eg. "We need six cups of flour, count with me: one, two, three…" Or there's learning the colors with fruits and veggies: "What color is the banana? And the avocado? Yum!" For us, it's also a great place for my children to pick up green habits.
In the New York Times Bestseller "The Green Book," authors Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas M. Kostigen outline keys areas for everyday living that will bring the biggest impact to our planet. I love this book, but their bit on the kitchen is especially useful. Of course there's information about composting (remember, we discussed that, huzzah!), running full loads for your dishwasher, eating left overs (mmmm, Thanksgiving), and taking advantage of Energy Star Appliances.
But did you ever think about the importance of using cold water for your garbage disposal? (That is, of course, when you're not composting.) Or the importance of using the right-size pot on the stove? Rogers and Kostigen estimate "you could save about $36 annually for an electric range or $18 for a gas range." Saving money, and saving the planet! Apparently, "five percent of the energy bought and used per person in the United States is for preparing and cooking food. Over a year, this exceeds twice the energy a person in Africa uses to power everything in his or her life." Eeek…
And by keeping your microwave clean, you better maximize its energy. (Check out this great Make and Take for cleaning with citrus.) The less electricity you use, the less time cooking and less money spent. Typically microwaves are 3.5 to 4.8 times more energy efficient than traditional electric ovens. Not that I'm advocating strictly cooking in your microwave. You know I'm a lover of the slow-food movement.
Which is why I've also adopted the practice of pre-heating my oven (primarily) for baked goods, and letting things that roast or cook or reheat do so with the "pre-heat." By reducing the amount of time my oven is on by one hour per year, "The Green Book" says I can "save an average of two kilowatt-hours of energy. If 30 percent of U.S. households could each reduce total oven pre-heating time nby just one hour per year, the sixty million kilowatt-hours of energy saved could bake a dozen cookies for every American."
That reminds me, I've got some chocolate chips that are dying to find a home. But first tell me, what green practices are working for you in the kitchen?

You should be able to fix your MBR(master boot record) by using recovery mode or by using the CD that windows came on. It sounds like your bootini is hosed.
It was all on my hard drive,
i had it partitioned into 3 drives, C:windows, D:recover:, and M:MAC HD.
and i got it working now, I had to delete the mac partition and merge it back with C and i got a vista disk and when I loaded it it said my C drive was my recovery and my D is where my windows was, which made no sense because they just switched, but I came back and did it again and it said I needed to repair and restart,and I did.
and here I am, all working again,
if I ever try to load osx86 ill just do it on an external drive to avoid any complication.

Fruit Tart
With berry season in full swing, I turned to JoyofBaking.com for some inspiration. I was not disappointed. With many options to choose from, I decided on this fruit tart. To preserve the fruit, I glazed it with melted apricot preserves (which unfortunately got a little gloppy - I neglected to add the liqueur/ water necessary to prevent that). My favorite brother (okay, my only brother... but he would be my favorite anyway...) stopped by after work, and I sent this home with him for his family. I love having people to bake for!
Foodie Friday,

These figures came with almost no flash, and once primed, the detail is so incredible that they virtually painted themselves. Most highly recommended. Now I just hope that Copplestone will produce some additional packs with mail armor, some other similar troops with spears, and maybe a little cavalry.
Here are some photos. I think they look great, but I would love to see what some really skilled painters can do with them.
Of course, the figures are on the large size, measuring more like 18mm instead of 15mm, but they aren't too far out of scale. No problem fitting three to a base, which is appropriate with the rules I play for undrilled or irregular warriors. For comparison purposes, here is a photo with the Copplestones side-by-side with some Romano-Brits from Splintered Light.
If you think you also have a place for figures like these, I wouldn't hesitate at all to get some of your own.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Huckford Early OriginsThe surname Huckford was first found in Shropshire, but we must look to Oxfordshire to find one of the first listings of the name, that being Edith de Hicford who was listed there in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273. [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Bardsley, C.W, A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames: With Special American Instances. Wiltshire: Heraldry Today, 1901. Print. (ISBN 0-900455-44-6) Huckford Spelling VariationsHuckford Spelling VariationsIt is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Huckford are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Huckford include: Hickford, Hikford, Hicford, Higford, Higeford, Hugford and many more.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationMany English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North Ameri ca. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Huckford or a variant listed above: John Hickford, who sailed to Maine in 1640 and Thomas Hickford to Maryland in 1669.

Make a bold statement with the Paperclip Stool. Popular for nearly a half-century now, the Paperclip's approach to functionality is unique and distinctive. Designed by Philip Salmon and Hugh Hamilton
The paperclip form remains fresh and refreshing well after its launch in 1969. Its contours are both functional and distinct. The stool's tubular steel frame offers a clean design that beckons impromptu gathering and comfortable conversations.
Pull it around the kitchen counter to settle in for a drink or snack, or set up a few in the living room to enjoy your daughter's piano recital. The Paperclip perch is as useful as it is unique. This distinct design, made of a single length of tubular steel and a welded seat, was brought to life by the Haworth Design Studio.
The designers are Phillip Salmon, Hugh Hamilton and Rein Sossalou, and the design is the K700 stool, produced in 1969. It is the most famous design of Salmon & Hamilton's three-year partnership and was originally available in red, yellow, black, white, or polished chrome. A simple and beautiful design built using a continuous piece of tubular steel that is bent to form a cantilevered base and solid footrest. The resulting bent paperclip form is purposeful, unique and has been in production for more than forty years.

On the market: A storybook stone house in the countryside
Published 7:30 am, Friday, August 8, 2014
The pedigree of the Cotswold-style stone Cape house at 3 Kettle Creek Road in lower Weston is undetermined. It looks like it could be a Frazier Peters house and it fits the famed architect's local timeline -- it was built in 1934 -- but no one has been able to confirm if he designed it.
Whether Peters had a hand in its design or construction or not, this is a house and property worth an investment. The stone house may need some updating, but for the individual or family that appreciates country and garden living, it has limitless possibilities.
This property is also conveniently located close to the center of Weston and only 15 minutes from downtown Westport.
The house sits on a 4.02-acre level property, which also has an in-ground swimming pool and tennis court. Tall, mature trees dot the landscape. There is a vegetable garden protected by deer fencing and invisible fencing to prevent pets from roaming. A split-rail fence encloses the acreage in front of the house and the spacious backyard is also fenced.
The long driveway and large parking area can accommodate multiple cars, which was important to the prominent family that had lived here since 1960 because they enjoyed entertaining.
Real Estate Listings
Two slate paths lead to the covered front entrance and the casual side entrance. Inside the 3,381-square-foot house there are Dutch doors, wide board floors, wrought iron finishes and numerous built-in cabinets and bookshelves. The hardwood floors are found throughout the house, although in some rooms they are covered with wall-to-wall carpeting.
Almost all the window sills are 15-inches deep and crafted with 2-inch thick slabs of slate. The stone foundation and exterior walls are so thick that they keep the house cool in summer and warm in winter.
All the first floor rooms have exposed beams on the ceilings, and there are two fireplaces; a wide red brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove in the formal living room and in the large all-season, sunken sunroom there is a wall of fieldstones that houses the second fireplace. That room, which is used as a family room, has two walls of floor-to-ceiling windows with glass and screens, a parquet floor, and door to a slate patio.
Between the living and family rooms there are two alcoves -- one in which there is a built-in dry bar service area and the other with a desk and built-in shelves that serves as a cozy office. The living room is really more like a great room at 26 by 19 feet and also included in that space is the dining room.
The kitchen is no one's dream, but with a little updating it could be. It is large and the layout functions well. It has jalousie windows and an eat-in area. In an "ode to modernism" it has a pantry closet, dishwasher and a Frigidaire Electrolux range.
This house has five bedrooms, two on the first floor including the master. With the current layout the master and secondary bedroom share a bath but there is plenty of room for renovations that could create two separate and private suites. The master has a large attached, sunken spa/garden room that could be converted into a spacious and luxurious master bath. Then the other room could have its own bath and serve as a guest suite. If not a master bath, that spa/garden room could be used for its intended purpose -- it does have built-in plant shelves, or a cabana for the pool, which is on this side of the yard. This spa room also has two sinks, slate floor, wood paneling on the ceiling and wall, a wall of stone and two walls of windows.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms -- one of which could be used as an office, with lots of nooks and alcoves and built-in dresser drawers. The third bedroom has a Harry Potter-like closet with built-in drawers on two walls. The attached two-car stone garage has a tall cathedral ceiling and it can be used for its original purpose or it can be converted into a large family room providing more living space for the modern family. There is ample room on the property to build another garage.
There will be an open house at the property Sunday, August 10, from 1 to 3 p.m.
For more info or to see the house, contact Patricia A. Prenderville of Nicholas H. Fingelly Real Estate at 203-984-9423 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Or rather it is a bag, because I just got back from Ganesha, where I scored the aforementioned SRK-printed handbag. It is everything I hoped it would be - though puzzling to non-Bollywood fans, as Melina will attest. The shop owner and I had a grand time chatting about movies and celebrities - about which we seem to have the same taste from everything from Salman (no) to Baghban (ugh) to Disco Dancer's "Bang Bang" song (yes definitely) to Saif's health problems (tragic; she intimated that he's on steroids - now Saif, don't make me send Dr. Abby after you). Anyway, she was fantastic, and so is her shop, and I only regret that I zoomed off to the British Museum before remembering to take pictures of the outside of the store with its SRK mural.
Anyhoo. London is too full of other attractions for me to squeeze in any more Bollywood, but I'll survive. And go on to Vienna, which will be so full-on Bollywood there will hardly be time to sleep. Ta luvies - and see you soon, you central European meeters-uppers.
