RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs, such as pemetrexed and erlotinib, may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Erlotinib and pemetrexed may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving intensity-modulated radiation therapy together with pemetrexed and erlotinib may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of erlotinib when given together with intensity-modulated radiation therapy and pemetrexed and to see how well they work in treating patients with recurrent or second primary head and neck cancer.

Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: Erlotinib
Drug: erlotinib hydrochloride Drug: pemetrexed disodium Procedure: quality-of-life assessment Radiation: intensity-modulated radiation therapy |
Detailed Description:
- Evaluate the acute toxicity and feasibility of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in combination with radiosensitizing drugs pemetrexed disodium and erlotinib hydrochloride in patients with recurrent or second primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. (Phase I)
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of erlotinib hydrochloride in these patients. (Phase I)
- Determine progression-free survival (PFS) at 1 year in these patients. (Phase II)
- Determine median PFS, median overall survival (OS), and OS at 1 and 2 years in these patients.
- Determine objective tumor response as measured by CT scan or MRI in these patients.
- Evaluate the acute and chronic toxicity of IMRT in combination with radiosensitizing drugs pemetrexed disodium and erlotinib hydrochloride in these patients.
- Evaluate the impact of treatment on quality of life as measured by FACT-H&N, PSS-HN, MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI), and swallowing by direct functional measurements at different time points.
- Evaluate the level of phosphorylation of different tyrosine residues within the cytoplasmic domain of EGFR, bound adaptors, as well as markers of downstream pathways activation by nano LC-MS/MS in tumor tissue and correlate with levels of P-AKT and P-ERK by immunohistochemistry and with response to treatment.
- Measure the levels of TS and p53 and correlate with treatment response.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of erlotinib hydrochloride followed by a phase II study.
- Phase I: Patients undergo intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) once daily, 5 days a week, for 6 weeks. Patients receive pemetrexed disodium IV over 10 minutes on day 1 of radiotherapy. Treatment with pemetrexed disodium repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride once daily beginning on day 1 of radiotherapy and continuing for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Phase II: Patients undergo IMRT and receive pemetrexed sodium as in phase I. Patients also receive erlotinib hydrochloride at the maximum tolerated dose determined in phase I.
Quality of life is assessed at baseline, weekly during treatment, at 1, 6, and 12 months, and then annually thereafter.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually thereafter.

Kendall Nelson: Home On The Range
Several years ago, singer Paula Cole posed the musical question, "Where have all the cowboys gone?" Apparently, photographer Kendall Nelson has the answer. In her book, Gathering Remnants: A Tribute to the Working Cowboy, Nelson delivers a starkly beautiful pictorial essay on the lives of cowboys who live on working ranches in the American west. For about three and a half years, she actively participated in the working cowboy's lifestyle, routinely starting her day at 3:00 or 4:00 a.m.--"in all kinds of weather, from hot to freezing temperatures." It's easy to see that her work went beyond simply documenting life on the range with a camera. "I didn't just go and shoot pictures out of my car," Nelson laughs.
Her book is an honest portrayal of cowboy culture, offering insights that could only come from someone who lived among the cowboys and has great empathy for them. People may assume that the American cowboy, who ropes cattle and rides the open range for a living, disappeared long ago. But Nelson--and Felicitas Funke-Riehle, who wrote the text for Gathering Remnants--are here to tell us differently. This book shows us a glimpse of those who lead a simple, but rugged life that's unaffected by the busy, urban world. "We all know that there are cowboys," she says, "but we don't realize that they're still living in bunkhouses or running chuck wagons."
"These guys are disappearing--their way of life is changing, and I wanted to capture a little of it before it's gone," Nelson says.
Best of Both Worlds
Nelson was educated at San Francisco State University. "I got a B.A. degree in art, with an emphasis in photography," she says. After graduation, she attended Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara. She felt that her diverse education gave her "the best of both worlds," as aesthetics was the strength of her photo education at San Francisco State, while Brooks taught her the technical aspects of the discipline.
One day a professional photographer came to speak at Brooks, and Nelson decided, "Okay, that's it--I'm going to work for this guy." She called him from a pay phone, and landed her first assisting job. From there, she assisted other photographers in the Los Angeles area, and then became an assistant to an executive producer of television commercials. This led to a job in 1996 as an assistant director of the NFL pre-game show comedy spots for Fox. Nelson was also a segment producer for a children's baseball show called "In the Zone."
She decided to move to Idaho, as she loved the skiing there. "I thought I'd only stay for a month," she recalls. Nelson's family had a condominium in Sun Valley, and she had intentions of commuting back and forth to Los Angeles to work. But, once in Idaho, she says, "I only produced one Budweiser commercial, and that was it."
A Vanishing Culture
Between football and baseball season that year, she went to Texas, and decided that cowboys would be great photo subjects. To Nelson, they represented American icons with a lifestyle that was diminishing. A friend who photographed for National Geographic gave Nelson the name of a cowboy who lived outside of Fort Worth. He invited her to see the inner workings of a ranch near Kent, Texas, where they ran a chuck wagon. "That got me hooked," she says. "I really saw how cowboys lived, and decided then that it would be a book someday."
Nelson returned to Los Angeles to finish up the baseball season in '96. She moved to Sun Valley in the winter, and began contacting working ranches in Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, Wyoming, and Texas. She got referrals from cowbosses out on the range, and thus began her project. "It was a big shock, going from the sophistication of L.A. to ranches that sometimes had no electricity," Nelson points out. Although she says that she originally viewed Sun Valley as a rural area, "it was like a mini-Aspen by comparison."
Today she admits, "I don't feel totally at home in either place." Instead, she says she finds her balance dividing her time between the stark simplicity of the cowboy ranches to the relative luxury of Sun Valley. But when she settles into the culture of the skiing town, she says, "I miss the honesty of the cowboys--riding horses, working all the time--they're truly caretakers of the land."

This was an idea from a reader so I hope he enjoy.
It was summers day and hot even by Texas standards. Tammy had come out in her blue bikini to get some sun and swim before her son got home. She knew the bus will be at there corner by around four so there was plenty of time as it was only 12:35.
Her husband would probably not be home until well after seven, so she took a gulp of her drink and laid down on the lounge.
Tammy is 42, five foot two, one hundred fifty pounds. She has 38d breasts her ass sags a bit with auburn hair. The older she gets the horny she becomes so using her 9" dildo is a daily occurrence. Her husband has lost all interest in her.
The phone rang and she did not recognize the number but answered anyway. "Hi big tits" was the response. Before she could say anything the voice said "bet you are thinking about my hard cock in your hole about to shoot a hot load, right"? She decided to play along and answered," Yup".
The conversation lasted for another ten minutes and she was wet as the caller hung up. My god I hope he calls back every day. She was headed for the house when she saw the lawn kid cutting the grass. Stopping in her tracks she turned and went back to the lounge. Laying on the lounge she spread her legs wide and smiled at the kid with an alluring smile. Maybe he interested in fucking me.
"Hi Mrs. P" yelled Jim. "Hi Jim, is it hot enough for you"? "Sure is I could use air today for sure". "Why don't you take a break and come in the back porch, it's under air and I'll join you for a drink". "OK but only for a few minutes as I don't want to get in trouble".
She knew he was staring at her wet crotch. The phone call had made her very horny and she was thinking about some young hard cock.
"Sit down and I'll get us a drink, beer OK"? "It would be great". She came back from the kitchen and handed him a beer. She sat across from him and gave him a fuck me spread, which caused him to smile and get a bulge in his short which he was trying to hide. "Don't hide it she cooed he looks hot and like he could use some air" walking over to his chair she grabbed the top of his shorts and pulled them down. A good sized cock sprang out, "Wow nice cock you have there". "Thanks Mrs. P" "Call me Tammy". "Tammy I don't want to loose my job". "No one is going to know about this now come here and give me a good fucking, I need it bad".
Jim slipped his cock into her and she moaned with delight, feels great pump slowly I don't want you Cumming to soon I need this now. It took Jim about five or six minutes and he was ready. Tammy had two orgasms already so when she felt his cock twitch she yelled fuck me baby shoot a big hot load of cum in my pussy. With that encouragement Jim exploded and she felt hot cum shooting way up in her pussy. There is nothing better then hot cum in a pussy to relieve stress and make the day go by.
They both laid there until there breathing had turned to normal, "How about a blow job before you start working"? "I'd love it". I have to tell you I love to suck cock until a guy cums and I get to swallow every drop. It was one of her better blow jobs and she didn't spill a drop. "Thanks Mrs. P was Jim last words as he went back outside to work".
Curious she thought I thought I saw something shinning as we were fucking and later while I was sucking, my imagination probably.
The next two day was uneventful, on Thursday at 10 am the doorbell rang. Who the hell can that be as she opened the door? Standing there were three large black guys in there teens.
"Yes can I help you"? "The largest one looked at her "Well we may be able to help each other, could we come in"? With a puzzled look on her face she opened the door wide and in they came. "Ok what' up"? Another of the boys spoke up "do you have a computer or DVD player in here"? "In the den, why"? The boys headed for the den. "So tell me what's going on here anyway". "Give it another minute and you'll see".
The screen came on and there she was legs spread open fucking Jim. The stair on her face said it all they all watched for another five minutes until she jumped up and turned it off.
"How did you get this and what are you going to do with it"? "Well how we got it is obvious Jim set you up?"Secondly what we do with it depends on you". "Would you kindly explain yourself". "Certainly, we want a cum slut, someone who we can fuck every time our nut sacks get full".
"Well I have no intention of being your cum slut, now get out". "OK these will be at your son's school by lunch and on the internet before 2"."You are going to be a very popular lady in a day or so and your husband will get a copy at work".
A look of panic, shot across her face, "Wait can't we work this out"? "Our terms are simple all you need to say is yes I'll be a black cock cum slut and the party will begin'. "I'm too old for you guys", "Wouldn't you prefer someone younger"? "No according to Jim you have a tight pussy that milks every drop of cum out". "He told us it was one of the best blowjobs he's ever had". "Look Tammy it's 10:30 for the last time what's it going to be"? She just sat there with the deer in the headlights look.
If I agree they'll be fucking me more then I've ever been fucked, there black and I've never felt a black cock much less tasted the cum it gives.
They got up and headed for the door, "Wait I'll be your black cock cum slut" just don't show the video, please".
"Good now lets see your bedroom" "Why" "Two reasons one to see what underwear you own and the second to see where we will be fucking you". "All right follow me". Once in the bedroom they started looking through her sexy underwear. Once they had found an outfit they handed it to her and said go put this on. In the bathroom she stared in the mirror, god the three of them are going to fuck me and this could go on for quite some time. She changed into the thong and bra set, put on makeup and heels. Well here we go and opened the bedroom door. There were three black men with large cocks sitting on her bed joking. "How do I look"? "Very fuckable too be sure".
The smallest guy got up and walked over to her. "I'm Howie, that ugly mother is Wayne and the big guy is JC". "Well it's nice to put a name to a cock". Let's get you on the bed, "OK".
Once on the bed they started kissing her tits and rubbing her pussy. Wayne undid her bra clasp and they took it off her. Now Howie and Wayne sucked her nipples while JC rubbed the pussy. It didn't take long before he nipples were standing straight out and she had a good size wet spot forming.
"If you get your panties off you'll get fucked Tammy", she looking at Wayne "did you guys bring condoms"? All three stopped JC laughed "Tammy just for the record every ounce of cum in our balls is going in you". "The destination is pussy or belly but for sure it's all in you". "I could get pregnant"? "Not my worry, now the panties"?
Tammy pulled her panties off and laid down on the bed, she felt the head of a very large cock moving up and down on her pussy lips. A slight pressure and in went the head. He pushed in and out with a slow rhythm until she felt his pubic hair pushing on her mound. My god the whole thing is in me and it feels great. JC kept pushing and his pace was beginning to quicken. The burning between her legs was causing her to move her ass in slow circles and start to moan then she started pushing up on his every down stroke. Howie and Wayne each had a nipple in the mouth and the feels she was experiencing were wonderful.
She grabbed JC ass pulled him down and "Screamed cum in me baby shoot that load in me as deep as you can". Wayne stiffened and spurted, the first rope of cum Shot deep into her waiting pussy. The force it came out of his cock was fantastic, her pussy kept milking the cock until the flow of cum stopped and it started to get soft.
JC rolled off and Wayne got between her legs, his cock slipped in her sloppy soggy pussy easily. She felt the same rhythm as before and smiled and enjoyed the feeling. JC took his wet cock and pushed it in her mouth she was tasting cum and pussy juice. Wayne pace he quicken and she knew he would be ready soon, pushing her hips up as hard as she could she pulled him close. "Honey I want you to empty your nut sack in my pussy". He had a large smile on his face, his eyes rolled and she felt the familiar feeling of cum spurting into her pussy. At that moment she another screaming orgasm. She pulled his ass tight to her and her pussy milked every drop out.
Wayne rolled off and Howie had his cock all the way in before her breathing had returned to normal. He pumped her for quite a while she had two orgasms before she felt him stiffen. Her pussy was milking his cock as best it could considering she had been fucked twice and had very large cum deposits already in her. "Yes baby blow a load for me". His cock erupted and cum started flowing out as she had another orgasm.
Howie rolled off and smiled at her. "Well Tammy how is being a cum slut so far"? "Look JC since I have no choice what can I say". "Good now roll over", "Why"? "Tammy roll over"! She rolled over and he got behind her, "No please I've never had a cock in me there before". "Well get use to it as it is going to be a regular occurrence".
The large cock pushed into her tight ass, even allowing for him putting a considerable amount of lube on both her ass and his cock she felt filled. She was crying as he pushed deeper. My god went through her mind Then she had Wayne's cock down her throat while howie messaged her tits. They had a rhythm going as her mouth and ass were both being fucked at the same time. She thought she heard a camera shooting pictures but she wasn't sure.
Wayne grabbed her head and pushed his cock deep down her throat, she felt a large glob of cum shoot out of his cock, it hit the back of her throat and she swallowed quickly as she knew there was plenty more to come. After she had swallowed twice more JC grabbed her hips shoved his cock balls deep and spurted cum in her bowels. She shrived and had a slight climax. My god he made me cum using my ass.
JC moved off and Howie replace him with his cock in her ass, she was crying and yet excited as he was in no hurry and pounded her for five minutes before adding another load of cum to her bowels. She felt that slight shiver of a small climax again. Out plopped his cock and they all sat on the bed.
"JC is your nut sack empty"? "Yeah for now no more cum left Wayne, yours empty"? "To be sure I'm done for now". "Tammy you have a great tight ass and pussy", "My pussy isn't to tight at the moment and is very sloppy thanks to you guys". "Well get use to it".
They started to get dressed Wayne looked at her, "You certainly know how to suck a great cock". "Thank you, could I ask that as long as I'm going to be fucked constantly by you guys if I buy you condoms to use". Tammy I told you every drop of cum in our balls goes in you, period"! "OK JC if that's what you want. I just didn't want to take the chance of getting pregnant.
The guys left her sitting on the bed in her panties; she heard the front door close. Well It could have been worse she thought. There was a noise coming out of her son Brad's room. She walked down the hall and opened the door. There he sat cock in had stoking it while apparently watching a porno. Covering her breasts she turned to leave and heard him yell. "Mom get in her, turning back she entered the room, "Come in this is great". She Watched in horror as she saw herself being fucked by her three new friends.
"They were filming me"? "No I was filming you" "Oh now what"? Well first get in here and suck me dry then well discuss my plans for you".

President of Connors State College, Dr. Tim Faltyn nominated LaBeef for his dedication to the Muskogee Teen Center. The following paragraph is what the college submitted about the efforts of LaBeef.
Dylan LaBeef, a Business Administration student at Connors State College, volunteers many hours to the Muskogee Teen Center, while also continuing to balance school work and family time. He dedicates many afternoons to opening the center so local teens have somewhere to come hang out and play basketball. The access to the facility is important to Dylan because he recalls coming to it as a teen and playing basketball with his friends. The game of basketball is not all he teaches, he also provides encouragement and lessons about life to the teens. His initiative to be involved and to become a leader for his community shows the dedication and passion it takes to be successful. Regardless of what career he decides to pursue, his experiences with the Muskogee Teen Center will provide lessons that will last a lifetime.

"No one writes fantasy quite like Moon."—The Miami Herald

Kings of the North (Paladin's Legacy Series #2)
by Elizabeth MoonNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Peace and order have been restored to the kingdoms of Tsaia and Lyonya, thanks to the crowning of Mikeli of Tsaia and the half-elven mercenary Kieri Phelan as their respective kings. But trouble is brewing. Mikeli cannot rule safely as long as the few remaining Verrakaien magelords are at large. And a strange/b>/i>
Editorial Reviews
War, domestic strife and evil magic threaten the rulers in various lands in the latest in the Deed of Paksenarrion series.
Half-elven Kieri, once the head of a famous band of mercenaries and now the rightful king of Lyonya, desires the aid of his co-sovereign, his ageless elven grandmother, in uniting his human and elven subjects, but she does little but pressure him to remarry. Meanwhile, the demon Achyra continues to seek the destruction of Kieri and his loved ones. In neighboring Tsaia, Kieri's former military subordinate, Duke Dorrin Verrakai, deals with the hazardous remnants of her magelord family's many atrocities. And both Lyonya and Tsaia will ultimately have to confront their former ally, the pirate Alured the Black, who now calls himself Duke of Immer and prepares for conquest. Readers new to the series will suffer confusion; fans seeking resolution to the many-stranded plot will require the concluding volume. Moon wrote the first Paksenarrion book more than 20 years ago; it may seem dated to populate a world with elves, dwarves, gnomes and so on, but she works hard at instilling these creatures with character and unique magic. There's a healthy dose of action, clearly informed by the author's military experience, which is no doubt also the source of her blunt criticism of those who object to women in combat.
Decidedly a middle book, but not without its charms.

Read an Excerpt
Chaya, Midsummer Feast
Falkieri Artfielan Phelan, King of Lyonya, waited with barely concealed impatience for his grandmother, the elven queen of the Ladysforest, to appear for the Midsummer ritual. Under his bare feet, the moss of the King's Grove felt cool and welcoming; the fragrance of the summer night, flowers that bloomed at no other time, filled his nostrils. Yet he could not take full pleasure in the soft breeze, the cool moss, the sweet scents. Where was she?
He had spent the entire short night on the central mound near the Oathstone, expecting the Lady to appear, but she had neither granted his request to come early nor sent a clear refusal. He had hoped to use this auspicious day to ask her once again for help with his continuing effort to reconcile the two peoples, elves and humans . . . but since his coronation she had come seldom, and never for long. The whole night she had been elsewhere, and not even his growing taig-sense could find the direction.
He looked again at the stars overhead; the ritual must begin when the Summerstar touched the oldest blackoak's crown--and as he watched, the star slid that last short distance.
"Grandson," the Lady said. "It is time." She was there, where she had not been an instant before, and already she had begun the chant. No time now to remonstrate. He raised his arms high and sang as the sky brightened overhead. Across the Oathstone, she also sang, the two of them--so the tradition went--singing the sun over its midsummer peak. The Lady's hands drew patterns in the air, coils of silvery light, a net to capture the first rays of the sun's gold.
Kieri suspected she would withdraw into her elvenhome kingdom as soon as it was done, but as her enchantment wrapped around him, his irritation subsided. Her song, her power, held him fast. His mind soared: he knew he was in the place he belonged, performing the rituals he needed to perform. The taig responded to both of them; he felt it in his whole body, a tingling awareness of life that both nourished him and needed him. This was how it should be. But the dawn song and the Lady left him at the same time; her enchantment no longer clouded his awareness, and his resentment returned.
He knew she would not return until sundown, when they would spend another short night by the Oathstone. This time, he promised himself, she would listen to him. They were co-rulers; she should not ignore the king any more than he should ignore the Lady. She must at least explain why she had been so supportive that quarter-year ago and so ignored him now. Then he put that out of his head; he still had his own duties.
That morning he walked the bounds of Chaya, retracing the route he'd taken on his coronation day. Once more his subjects lined the streets and the city wall; now he knew many faces and names, and when a child wriggled loose from Berian, baker, and ran to him, he scooped her up.
"Jerli, where are you going?" Kieri glanced at the child's mother, who stood red-faced a few paces away.
"Give you Midsummer luck," the child said, pushing a flower behind his ear. Then she planted a wet kiss on his cheek and wriggled to get down. Kieri set her gently on her feet, and Berian snatched her up, face hardening.
"Don't scold her," Kieri said. "Kind hearts are Arianya's children." His own heart ached, thinking of his lost daughter at that age, who had run to him just as eagerly.
"If the king doesn't mind--"
"A child's good wishes? Never." He went on then, pausing at the four cardinal directions to pour a libation and break a loaf. At noon, he went to the royal ossuary to "bring the sun" to the dead with garlands of flowers. The Seneschal had a basket of fresh leaves ready; Kieri laid the leaves on eyeholes, mouths, earholes, and hung the garlands at either end of the ossuary. He felt a welcome from the bones; he sat on the stool the Seneschal placed for him between the platforms, and the Seneschal set the Suncandle before him, its fragrant smoke wreathing about him, then bowed and left Kieri alone. By custom, he would tell the bones how the year went, reassure them or trouble them as it might.
He had visited the ossuary several times since his coronation, reading over the stories incised on the bones, aware of something he could not define--clouds of feeling from this one and that, not all of them. But always the Seneschal had attended him. This was his first visit truly alone and the first when he had a report to make.
He let his mind quiet, trying to drive away that persistent resentment of the Lady's neglect, and then began, talking to the bones as if they were living men and women, his ancestors, standing around him. He told of the coronation, of the many conferences with his Council, his assessment of the Siers he had met, his concern about the lack of trade, the slow withering of the land's economy, his concern about the danger from Pargun and what seemed to him an unreasonable aversion to preparations for defense.
"And the elves and humans are still estranged," he said, into the silent near-darkness. A chill ran down his back, as if behind him someone had stepped out with drawn sword. He felt a tension in the silence: true listening, it seemed. It could not be, he told himself . . . and yet the hairs stood up on his arms. He did not glance around; he would not give in to the fear. "The Lady of the Ladysforest--"
The Suncandle flared, the flame rising to the level of his knees as he sat on the stool. Kieri felt sweat break out on his forehead. Were elves listening? So much the better, then; perhaps they would carry his message to her. He laid it all out in plain words, in a voice flat with suppressed anger. She was his grandmother and his co-ruler: she owed him the courtesy of her presence and the kingdom the courtesy of her attention and her assistance. She had changed since the coronation, and he did not know why. He was angry, he admitted to the bones, that she had neglected what he saw as her plain duty . . . and yet he was not free to act as he would if he were sole ruler. Even that day, that sacred morn of Midsummer, she had ignored his request and come to the Grove only at the final moment.
As if physical hands touched his face, he felt something--a warmth on his right cheek, a coolness on his left. Something of his father--the merest hint of a man's firm, warm hand on his sword-side, the merest hint of a woman's softer, cooler hand on his heart-side. His heart stuttered a moment, then beat on. He could not speak aloud; he asked the question in his mind. Are you . . . father? Sister?
What . . . do you want? From his father's hand--he could not think it otherwise--came a sense of love, support, peace. He could almost smell that dimly remembered smell, from times his father had picked him up and held him close. From his sister's hand, something different: affection, wistfulness, and--stronger as he listened--anger. Then, sudden and strong: betrayal and warning.
Kieri scarcely breathed. Betrayal? Danger? Who?
They lie. She-- But that was interrupted; his right cheek seemed to feel more pressure.
Not now. No shadows this day.
The sensation faded, his father's faster than his sister's, leaving the certainty that he had more to learn from them. The final word from his father felt like duty . . . from his sister, like judgment.
"Sir King."
Kieri opened eyes he had not realized he'd closed; the Seneschal knelt before him, picking up the Suncandle's holder, in which only a puddle of wax remained.
"The candle has ended, Sir King."
"Thank you," Kieri said. He had no idea how long it had burned. "I . . . I will need to talk with you after the rest of this." A wave of the hand encompassed all the Midsummer rituals.
"I wondered," the Seneschal said. "From my post I saw the Suncandle burn higher than I have ever seen it before. When it flares, sometimes there is a message."
"There was . . . something," Kieri said. "Something I do not understand, but must." He shook his head to clear it. "Seneschal, do the bones ever speak to you?"
"Speak to me? You mean, do I hear voices?"
"I suppose . . . or something, some knowledge you feel the bones are giving you?"
"That, yes, Sir King. Just as you said you did, on your first visit. Is that not still happening?"
"Yes. But I do not know . . . how much is real. How much is my wish, or my . . . I was never given to fancies, that I know of."
"Nor would I think you so, Sir King. You have every aspect of a practical man, a man of experience and action. If your ancestors' bones are telling you something, then to my mind you should listen. I am at your service whenever you wish, but is it so urgent that you must ignore this feast?"
"No . . . I think not." Kieri sat down on the bench outside the ossuary to put on his boots. "I must come back again, find the time to sit awhile with them, and then--then I will need to ask you how to interpret what I think I hear."
He found the court waiting for him outside, musicians and all. He led them to feast in the shade of the trees at the edge of the Royal Ride. They ate sitting on the grass, even the stuffiest of the Siers, and watched as a parade of livestock decked with flowers and ribbons, mellow bells around their necks clonking gently, ambled past on the main street. Music eddied in and out of hearing as the breeze shifted: ballads, jigs, round dances.
"We never did any of this in the north," he said to Arian, one of his half-elven Squires. In the quarter-year since his coronation, he'd found himself attracted to her despite the disparity in their ages and his determination not to involve himself with much younger women. "I wish I'd thought of it." It did no harm to talk to her, he told himself.
"Were you even there, in Midsummer?" she asked.
"Not often. I spent the summers in Aarenis." Hot summers those had been, sweat gluing his shirt to his body, sun beating down on his helm. "When we were in a safe camp, I poured a libation on Midsummer Morn, and some of the troops would sing songs through the night." Kieri lay back on the soft grass, eyes half-closed against the gleams of sun coming through the tree's canopy overhead, and pushed those memories away; the present peace and ease were too precious to waste. After a time, the Squires talked softly among themselves. He scarcely listened, letting his mind wander to the coronation taking place in neighboring Tsaia, to his former captains Dorrin and Arcolin. He wished them well, a Midsummer prayer of abundance and health.
"But Paks said there were magelords in enchanted sleep out there," Harin said. Mention of Paks caught Kieri's attention. "If they are magelords, are any of them Verrakaien?"
Kieri opened his eyes. "What magelords? Where?"
"In Kolobia," Harin said. "When Paks was there with the Girdish, she said there were noble warriors in the stronghold the Girdish call Luap's. Didn't she tell you?"
She had, he remembered. Kieri nodded to show he understood.
"If some were Verrakaien, would they be under attainder if they were to wake?" Arian asked. She sounded fully awake herself. Kieri turned his head and glanced at her. She was plaiting the stems of pink and yellow flowers into a crown.
"Who could wake them?" Maelith asked. She fitted a wristlet of blue flowers over her hand and began work on another.
"Who would want to?" Harin asked. "Magelords were always trouble. Let them sleep, I say, until the end of time." Then he flushed as Kieri looked at him. The king, after all, had magelord blood. "The Tsaian ones, I meant."
"The Girdish are trying to find out," Kieri said without raising his head. "The Marshal-General visited me last winter--back in Tsaia--and I heard a little about it then."
"Surely whoever put them to sleep could wake them," Arian said. "And that I would like to know: how did they come to be sleeping there, and who else might be sleeping somewhere else?"
A disquieting thought. Kieri considered what little he knew of Kolobia, what Paks had told him. The magelords had taken refuge in that land, been attacked by something--perhaps the iynisin who attacked Paks--and then cast into an enchanted sleep. Why? For what purpose? And if what cast that sleep ended it, what would come out from that distant fortress? Allies or enemies?
"Maybe dragons out of the old tales are asleep somewhere, too," Maelith said.
"Dragons! They're all gone; Camwyn Dragonmaster sent them away."
"We thought magelords were all gone," Arian pointed out. "Maybe dragons are just sleeping."
"They were said to be shape-shifters as well," Sarol said, putting a pink and white wreath on his head. "We might have one in Chaya today: would we know?"
"The Lady would, surely," Arian said.
Kieri glanced around at his Squires, now all decked with flower wristlets, garlands, crowns of flowers. They looked harmless as any of the farm lads and lasses strolling down the lane but for the swords and bows laid close at their sides.
Some of them, he thought, must be barely out of Falk's Hall--certainly not more than a year or so. He felt his years of war and intrigue as a chasm separating them from him. Even Garris, leaning against a tree a few lengths away, a stone jar of summerwine in his hand, seemed young in comparison. His gaze met Arian's.
"I could make you one," Arian said, holding up a handful of flowers and grinning down at him as if she'd read his thoughts.
"Oh, just give him yours, Arian," Panin said, in a teasing tone. "Berne will plait you one to make it up."
Arian shook her head and gave Kieri a look he couldn't interpret. "No," she said, "I'll make my own." Before Kieri could move, she'd dropped her flower crown on his chest and turned away to pick more flowers.
It was not the first time he'd felt silent communications between Squires wafting past him, but he was not going to respond to it, whatever it was. If there were covert courtships or rivalries going on, better not to know. He'd learned that in the first few years he'd commanded his own company.

This was a wonderful book as a follow-up to Oath of Fealty. Paks, is a main character in this book, but not the most important this time, although she is the one that leads the book through its progression. The Duke, Kieri Phelan, is also one of the main characters and you learn a lot more about him in this book. He is a wonderful character that we've never heard too much about his past but now we will. He is a lot more than just a mercenary commander. As he tries to come to grips with his life after the wars in the South in the last book he now is trying to put together his lands in the North. He has to bring together is people as well as his mercenaries and make them one. Not as a unit that is two groups that can work together. He needs to make sure the land is taking care of and is getting stronger and stronger feelings for the land. He doesn't realize that this is due to his half Elven background. Paks goes through many trials and tribulations after leaving the Dukes company of mercenaries. During these trials she grows and finds many gifts that she has and it's slowly becoming obvious that she's not an ordinary soldier anymore. Eventually she goes to the school for paladins and is asked to become one. She finds this is the best time of her life. She loves the people the work. The learning and everything that goes with it and her skills and gifts become stronger as she does so. Eventually, she is asked to go on a quest to find Lupan's base and terrible things happen there. When she returns to the paladin school. She finds that she has lost all of her courage or so she thinks. Upon not being able to fight any longer. She leaves the school and goes out on her own in midwinter no supplies and has a horrible six months where she almost dies repeatedly. Eventually, she is healed by master OakHollow, and finds that she is in far better shape than she was before and is now a true paladin of the gods, not just of Gird, but called by the gods themselves. She is then called to go on several quests the final one is to find the true King of the North. This is where things get really exciting. The people of that land. After seeing what she can do want her to become the King when the old king, dies but she says no. She says that her quest is to find the King not become the King. So she leaves again on her quest to find the true King Prince that was stolen away when he was five years old. His mother was an elf and his father was the human king of the land. His mother was killed when he was kidnapped as were the other people in their party. The Prince was taken into captivity for many years. When he returned to his land delves steamed him to damaged to ever become king and so they never told him who he was, nor did they tell anyone else and they would not tell Paks who he was.but, she had his sword that had been made for him when he was born by his mother's orders. She had been carrying it. The day that they were attacked. Eventually, the sword fell into the hands of Alimn Haverack,many years later gave it to , the Duke at the time of his wedding for his wife. The Dukes swore never to draw the sword since it was his wife's weapon and he didn't want to impose upon her. After she was murdered along with her two children. He put it on the wall and it was never touched again until Paks used it in an emergency to fight a demon. She followed this sword on her quest as a way to find the Prince. Now read the b
Luckily I bought all 5 books at the same time, so I did not have to wait at all after reading "Oath of Fealty". Great way to tie all the characters
I have only one complaint about this series. Because it is a series, there isn't a clear ending. That aside it is a pleasure to see the original Paks' evolve. Better to say to see those that were minor characters evolve. Duke Darrin has squires now and is trying to revive her rulership. Kieri is having conflicts with the Lady, and the 'good' elves are showing themselves as not as good. Still a very enjoyable read. Best though to start with Oath of Fealty.
I wouldn't use this for a book club as it is in the middle and might be confusing.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. More, please!
This continuation of the "Paksenarrion" series is a bit more contrived and disjointed than the previous volume. The story drags in places, and seems less than believable in others. Its predecessor, "Oath of Fealty," is a better book.
Builds beatifully on the scope and depth of the previous books in the series. I couldnt give it the praise its due. Favorite fantasy series of all time.Hard to put down, I lost sleep. Kudos!

The Underfunding of Single Employer Pension Plans
Published: Jun 24, 1986. Publicly Released: Jun 24, 1986.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
In response to a congressional request, GAO provided information on private pension plan underfunding, specifically: (1) its extent and effects; (2) factors contributing to underfunding; (3) the potential of the Single Employer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1986 to alleviate the effects of underfunded terminations; and (4) alternatives for controlling underfunding. GAO found that: (1) of the 14,500 plans it reviewed, over 2,300 were underfunded by more than $18 billion; (2) over 90 percent of the total underfunding occurred in 275 plans; (3) plan underfunding adversely affects the government's pension plan insurance program and results in employers granting pension benefit increases and funding them over time; (4) as long as employers eventually pay these unfunded benefits and the insurance program remains viable, plan underfunding has a negative impact on few participants; (5) most of the employers with terminated plans experienced business hardship during the 5 years before termination; and (6) the 1986 amendments should help avoid claims from some underfunded plans and better finance claims that do occur, but it is uncertain that they will ensure the insurance program's long-term viability. GAO suggested modifying existing laws to: (1) require more rapid payment of unfunded benefits; (2) require employers to make minimum contributions to their underfunded plans earlier in the plan year; (3) further limit the guarantee of benefit increases; and (4) raise the premium rate for revenue to retire the program's deficit and pay for estimated future claims.

I followed this Howto step by step, and I am pretty sure I didn't miss anything. Unfortunately, when I issue the command from the linux box I get a message reading "Shutdown of remote machine succeeded" however nothing happens in the Windows box, not even the message is displayed. Here are the specifications of the boxes: Dell Optiplex 755, Windows XP SP3 Fedora 16 x86_64, samba 1:3.6.3-78.fc16 Code: $ ping 192.168.1.126 PING 192.168.1.126 (192.168.1.126) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.126: icmp_req=1 ttl=128 time=0.134 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.126: icmp_req=2 ttl=128 time=0.089 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.126: icmp_req=3 ttl=128 time=0.088 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.126: icmp_req=4 ttl=128 time=0.089 ms ^C --- 192.168.1.126 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 2999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.088/0.100/0.134/0.019 ms Code: $ net rpc SHUTDOWN -C "Being remotely shutdown" -f -I 192.168.1.126 -U mcpc% Shutdown of remote machine succeeded Still no joy .
Thanks for the reply. I followed the instructions, disabled simple file sharing, allowed the XP host to accept echo requests from the firewall settings. I also enabled the user specifically to issue remote forced shutdown from the local policy configuration, although he belonged to the administrators group. If it s a firewall issue, I must be missing something.
I am sorry for the late reply, but the answer is yes. They are in the same network and the IPaddresses are set manually and fixed (i.e. no DHCP): 192.168.1.121 for the linux box and 192.168.1.126 for the windows one.

I recently placed an order with Sweet Wise. Unfortunately, because of the ice storm in Texas a week and a half ago, my order sat on the UPS truck and there was nothing they were able to do because they were backlogged.
I was in a full on panic because I was making the cake for my son and daughter in law's baby shower. It was this past Sunday. With nothing left to do, I called and spoke to Sanja and inquired about the option of reordering the entire order and using overnight shipping. I would also need to return the first package whenever it finally arrives.
I just wanted you to know what a wonderful staff you have!!
Not only did Sanja work with me, she assured me that the package would be here. She went out of her way to ensure my needs were met. I am the Quality Director at my hospital and I deal in customer service daily, whether I am teaching it to others or using it with patients.
I know good customer service when I see it!! Your team is awesome at it! Not only did she help me, but Dane sent me an email to assure me that he had packaged my order and delivered it for shipping himself. He didn't have to do that but he did and it was reassuring. Finally, Sanja emailed me on Saturday after checking my order number and she wanted to verify its arrival. To me that says she was genuinely concerned with my needs! That is simply above and beyond what I could have expected!!
I have ordered with you before and I will only use Sweet Wise. I am a customer for life! I am attaching a photo of my final creation. I am a novice cake decorator I LOVE Kathy videos. They are so helpful.
Have a great day and thanks so much!!

Tara, Mother of All Activity
According to Vajrayana Buddhism Tara is a completely enlightened Buddha that typically appears in the form of a beautiful youthful woman sixteen years of age. By category and hierarchy Tara is a Meditational Deity (yidam) and her appearance is that of a peaceful deity which is synonymous with Devi and Bodhisattva Appearance - one of the Eleven Figurative Forms in Tibetan art.
Five Principal Forms, Types & Categories of Tara:
- Green Tara
- White Tara
- Twenty-one Taras
- Eight Fears, Tara
- Miscellaneous Taras: Red Forms (All), Red (Dzigar Terton), Red (Suryagupta), Red (Atisha)
Outline Pages:
- Tara Outline Page
- Green Tara Outline
- White Tara Outline
- Red Tara Outline
- Twenty-one Taras Outline Page
Tara made a promise in the distant past that after reaching complete enlightenment she would always appear in the form of a female for the benefit of all beings. She especially protects from the eight and sixteen fears and has taken on many of the early functions originally associated with the deities Avalokiteshvara and Amoghapasha. Practiced in all Schools of Tibetan Buddhism Tara, amongst all of the different deity forms, is likely second in popularity only to Avalokiteshvara. Meditational practices and visual descriptions for Tara are found in all classes of Buddhist Tantra, both Nyingma and Sarma (Sakya, Kagyu, Gelug).
Tara Subjects:
- Tara, Standing (Sculpture)
- Tara (Sculpture, non-standard)
- Tara, Sculpture (Masterworks)
- Tara, Relaxed Posture (Sculpture)
- Tara, Painting (Masterworks)
- Bibliography
The most common forms of Tara are the green which is considered special for all types of activities, white for longevity and red for power. The different forms of Tara come in all colours, numbers of faces, arms and legs, peaceful, semi-peaceful and wrathful. There are simple meditational forms representing a single figure and then there are complex forms with large numbers of retinue figures filling all types of mandala configurations. There are likely to be close to two hundred different meditational forms of Tara.

A feud between Def Jam artists Rick Ross and Young Jeezy reportedly came to blows—and possibly gunfire—during Saturday's taping of the 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Twitter Feuds
The confrontation between the men's entourages escalated from words to "pushing and shoving, pfizer " reports HipHop Dx, pharmacist citing on-the-scene tweets from HOT 97's Funkmaster Flex.
Jeezy and Rick Ross just had words backstage!! Pushing and shoving!!!

Beef just spread to the parking lot!!!

Shots fired in parking lot!!! Gunman arrested!!! Back to the show and Club later!!!
— Funk Flex !!!!!(@funkmasterflex) September 29, 2012
Complex reports the fight moved to the parking lot, with the sound of gunshots and a police arrest of a gunman following. Machine Gun Kelly tweeted he was injured in the fracas: "Got mase in my eyes. That beef shit just got real outside."

The awards show taping was reportedly put on pause and the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center was locked down. The awards resumed soon after, and Ross is said to have made an appearance onstage to perform "Hold Me Back" and "Ice Cold." It's unclear whether this happened before or after the alleged brawl, though multiple people claiming to be at the show have tweeted Ross appeared after.
TMZ is reporting an Atlanta Police Department spokesperson confirmed there was a fight, but said no arrests were made:
"Shortly after 7:15 pm Saturday, a fight broke out in the parking lot at the Atlanta Civic Center (where the BET Awards were being taped) between two groups," the spokesperson told TMZ. "Atlanta Police Department officers on scene responded to break up the fight and used OC spray in the process. Individuals fled the scene. There were no arrests or reports of serious injuries. Reports of shots fired appear to be untrue."
PHOTOS: Hip-Hop's Bling-iest Music Videos of All Time
Ross and Young Jeezy were once collaborators, but have been involved in a feud for the past several years. Reps for the artists did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
BET later issued a statement that read:
"BET Networks works very hard to bring the best in entertainment to the city of Atlanta. For the past 7 years BET has celebrated the true art form of Hip Hop. Due to some misjudgment of select attendees, it is unfortunate that certain incidents took place. BET Networks does not condone any type of violence. Local authorities are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible."
The 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards air Oct. 9.

It's the same the world over, and the games industry is no different. Especially if you're a start-up.AdvertisementAccording to Games Investor Consulting director Nick Gibson "In the last four or five months there has been a collapse in venture capital and, more broadly, private equity funding for privately-held games companies". These aren't the big, publicly-owned companies like Activision or EA we're talking about. These are the new guys, the small guys, the ones that rely on big cash investments to get up and running.Gibson says things are so bad for the little guys that, according to Gibson's research, "private funding for games companies" is down a whopping 60% from the same time last year.AdvertisementSo if you've got a great idea for a new game, and you and your buddies want some cash to get things started, you might want to hold off for a year or two. That or start saving. Funds and Games [Develop]Reply33 repliesLeave a reply

Spencer County Public Schools and the city of Taylorsville could soon reach a partnership to place a school resource officer on a rotating schedule within the district's schools.
Both the board of education and the city commission have been in discussions since December about the possibility and it appears the agreement might come in the form of two part-time Taylorsville Police Department officers fulfilling the 172-school-day commitment desired by the board.

Tobias Stretch "Weird Fishes" (Radiohead)
I am lost for words in describing the inimitable Tobias Stretch's Weird Fishes (No Fat Clips), his competition winning entry to AniBoom's In Rainbows Animated Music Video Contest. I had expected something different (in the sense of off the wall) and I was a tad conservative. I simply cannot explain the plot in this or indeed my previous posts on his work. However, fish-like his characters are, in large part anyway with tentacles like sea anemones, or depicted as ocean Gods, or mad aviators or something. In truth it's not Tobias' concern to make concrete or less ambiguous Radiohead (Weird Fishes/Arpeggi) lyrics - sample verse: "I get eaten by the worms/ And weird fishes/ Picked over by the worms/And weird fishes/ Weird fishes/ Weird fishes". So how does Tobias react? Well, he makes some of the weirdest, most eccentric models of flying craft and creatures, takes them to a beautiful place and makes them fly and sink beneath the waters, tentacles still waving. The quality of photographic work, in which the lens swoops in, under and over his creations is never less than hypnotic and, as clouds rush by denoting the passage of time of the animation and also the director's production schedule, the song soars and the video does too, sustaining interest and delight. I hope my blog at least reveals the diversity of animation work around. Here is something distinct and I am so pleased Tobias was empowered to complete the work. Great stuff. More on his website.

I don't think people realize just how forgiving the cut is. The leathers usually fit great for a pretty big range of weight and height. This is why I can make off like a bandit during sample sales since so many samples are somewhere near my size.
Can someone explain? plus how far can one move away from his own size?

Color Meanings From Around the World
In America, it's traditional for brides to wear white and those who are grieving to wear black, but in India, it's common for brides to wear red and those who are mourning to wear white. That's because different color meanings vary around the world.
Understanding color meanings from different cultures and religions can be useful because it can help prevent misunderstandings and insults among those who might not share the same belief system. But it's always important to show respect -especially in situations like weddings and funerals where your appearance can drastically affect the way others around you feel. Remember, you probably wouldn't want someone wearing a clown costume to your mother's funeral and you wouldn't want to appear that way to someone from another culture.

We learned that Nvidia spent about four million dollars to get the exclusive rights for Crysis, and the sad thing is that the game doesn't perform exceptionally well during gaming.
Nvidia didn't even get the Halo effect by spending so much money, as everyone knows that all good games are under The Way It's Meant To Be Played cap, and that there is nothing that you can do about it. ATI lost this game developers' / publisher petting market a long time ago, just as well as the red company lost the high-end battle.
ATI once spent a bit less to bundle Half Life 2 vouchers and this worked really well for ATI back then, as many people bough 9800 and 9600 cards simply because of the free Half Life 2. Nvidia gave the rights to EVGA to bundle the game with their card, at an additional fee, of course, and if it came free with every Geforce 8800 series it would probably make much more of an impact. We are sure that Electronic Arts didn't want to lose this market and wanted to gain a profit from millions of proud 8800 series owners.
Well, at least we can say that Nvidia is doing financially very well, and it didn't gave Call of Duty 4 that much money; but the game turned out much better than anyone has expected. However you turn it, Nvidia wins.
