Depression in Dogs
The benefits that a dog can bring to a human in terms of depression are well known – dogs can help alleviate and mitigate the symptoms of depression. They lower blood pressure, promote touch, provide a much needed distraction and their ability to alter our behavior is obvious to any pet owner. Can dogs experience depression? Obviously, we cannot get them a therapists couch and tell us how they feel but their behavior will tell us a lot if we pay attention. Some dogs are excited and enthusiastic
Dogs in Clothes
I was never really a fan of putting dogs in clothes. Maybe a funny or cute headband or sunglasses for a holiday, but in general, I was not a fan. Dogs use their bodies to communicate with other dogs and animals and when they are wearing clothes, this can hinder that communication. My dog Oscar is not a fan of costumes and will tolerate me putting sunglasses on him for a single picture, but then it's over. Then my dog Ollie came along and I just defaulted to no clothes on pets. One day, we went
More Than Training
I have often asked myself, how much does my dog need to be trained? I don't have competition goals for either of my dogs but I still wonder if they and I would benefit from more training. Training can be an amazing way to deepen and strengthen your relationship with your dog, but that is not the only way to become more connected. There are many ways to strengthen your relationship with your dog – one of the most important being developing trust. How do you develop trust

Sony's Grover Crisp understands the science and art of film restoration as well as anyone working in Hollywood today. As the Senior VP for Asset Management, Film Restoration and Digital Mastering for Sony Pictures Entertainment, he's personally supervised scores of great film restoration efforts for the studio - both physical and digital - including such classics as The Bridge on the River Kwai and Jason and the Argonauts.
When Lionsgate recently announced their new 3-disc Full Disclosure Blu-ray Edition of Francis Ford Coppola's legendary Vietnam War film, Apocalypse Now, the news seemed almost too good to be true for longtime fans. The set, which streets on 10/19, is due to include both versions of the film, many hours of bonus features and, at long last, the infamous Hearts of Darkness documentary – the first time the film and documentary have ever been presented together on disc. It also includes – for the first time in ANY home format – both versions of the film in their original 2.35:1 theatrical aspect ratio. Given the film's complex history, and the equally complicated history of its past home video editions, fans of Apocalypse Now immediately began to have questions about the Blu-ray release, and quickly began to speculate about the release online. How would the new transfer compare to the 2001 release? How involved were Coppola and cinematographer Vittorio Storaro in preparing the new transfer? What surprises might the new edition bring?
It's no exaggeration to say that Richard Donner is one of the most influential filmmakers of the past thirty years. For all intents and purposes, he single-handedly invented the modern superhero movie with 1978's Superman. In 1987, he reinvigorated the buddy movie formula with Lethal Weapon, spawning three sequels and countless imitators. But like any filmmaker, there have been some disappointments along the way, both critical and commercial. Perhaps the biggest was the failure of Inside Moves, a low-key character study, to find an audience upon its release in 1980. The film garnered critical praise and an Academy Award nomination for Diana Scarwid in the Best Supporting Actress category. But an ineptly managed theatrical release all but insured that no one would ever see it. After its release on VHS in the early 80s, Inside Moves promptly vanished into obscurity.

Dan asked me what the memory bandwidth looks like on the AMD FX-8150 'Bulldozer' CPU, so I did some quick tests for him this morning on the test bed that I have up and running.
Running at 1600MHz w/ CL9 timings and a 1T command rate I was able to reach 17.9GB/s
When the memory bumped up to 1866MHz w/ identical CL9 timings and a 1T command rate I was able to reach 19.3GB/s. This is an 8% performance increase in memory bandwidth by going up just 266Mhz.

ND Holds Down College Cost Increases, Compared to Upward National Trends

North Dakota Holds Down College Cost Increases,
Compared to Upward National Trends
BISMARCK, N.D. - Tuition and fees increases at North Dakota's public colleges and universities are significantly less than national average increases reported in a study released Oct. 20, 2009, by The College Board.
Nationwide, the average published price of in-state tuition and fees at public four-year colleges increased 6.5 percent for the 2009-10 academic year and 7.3 percent at public two-year colleges, according to the report. In North Dakota, four-year university in-state tuition and fees increased 3.5 percent, and two-year tuition and fees increased 0.8 percent.
"Maintaining college affordability was a major initiative of the State Board of Higher Education during the 2009 Legislative Session," said Bill Goetz, chancellor of the North Dakota University System. "Thanks to the support of our state leaders, the four-year universities limited 2009-10 tuition increases to 3.5 percent, and the two-year colleges froze 2009-10 tuition rates at the 2008-09 level."
Recent economic challenges are cited as a reason for higher education cost increases in The College Board report. Here in North Dakota, state lawmakers are making use of the state's strong economy to help hold down the cost of college.
In addition to limiting tuition increases, the 2009-11 NDUS budget includes $19 million - almost triple the previous amount - in state general funds for needs-based financial aid, and $3 million for two new scholarship programs: The North Dakota Academic Scholarship and the Career and Technical Education Scholarship.
"We're very fortunate that our governor and Legislature share the State Board of Higher Education's vision for affordable and accessible college education," said Richie Smith, president of the State Board of Higher Education. "All of us understand that an investment in higher education is an investment in our state's future."

Chair Taylor asked for a MOTION for approval for the consent agenda. A MOTION was offered and seconded. The MOTION was approved as presented.
Chair Taylor stated that these six report – (1) University of North Florida Operational Audit, (2) Independent Accountant's Report on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures – Intercollegiate Athletics Program, (3) Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, Form 990: (a) UNF Training and Services Institute, Inc., (b) UNF Financing Corporation, (c) UNF Foundation, Inc., and (d) MOCA, Jacksonville, (4) Office of Internal Auditing – Quarterly Report, (5) Quarterly Budget Report, and (6) Treasurer's Report – had all been discussed with this committee and no recommendations were made for additional discussion by the full Board.

Chair Taylor stated that this one report -- (1) Report on Flagship Programs in the Brooks College of Health and the Coggin College of Business – had all been discussed with this committee and no recommendations were made for additional discussion by the full Board.

President Delaney reported that WJCT was still in the planning stages and not significantly further than the last report to trustees. He stated that issues being discussed were fundraising and maintenance on the facility. He indicated that optimism was good.
President Delaney reported on OneJax, stating that the university had worked through several models, in terms of relationship, before it was decided the OneJax would become a UNF institute. He noted that OneJax would collaborate with UNF's InterFaith Center and the Intercultural Center for PEACE, both in Student Affairs.
Trustees asked for clarification on why UNF choose OneJax. President Delaney responded that OneJax was consistent in its community outreach, and there was synergy and a fit with what the university was doing. Vice President Serwatka responded that two of OneJax's major projects either have or need UNF's involvement to grow and become successful.
This item was for discussion only. No further action was required.
Chair Taylor asked Provost Workman to speak about this item.
Provost Workman asked Jeff Coker, dean of Undergraduate Studies to speak about the content of this proposed fee.
Dean Coker stated that the administration was proposing a 5 percent fee on tuition for academic enhancement. He noted that the intent of the proposed fee was to add value to the broadest base of students possible, including academic advisors for undergraduate students and academic advisors for particularly challenging areas, additional resources for STEM programs, additional tutoring and reduced class size.
President Delaney stated that the Board of Governors would be looking at the enhancements to academics. He asked Trustee Brockelman to comment.
Trustee Brockelman stated that his constituency would support initiatives that would affect a broad base of the student body. He stated that he had confidence that enough students would take advantage of the initiatives of the proposed fee to make a measurable difference.
Trustee Brockelman asked that the Board consider this and other proposed fees without making a quick decision. He noted that the administration did discuss this proposed fee with him and his colleagues as the proposed fee developed.
Trustees asked if the proposed fee could be diverted in hard economic times. The administration responded that the proposed fee could not be diverted or switched around. Trustees asked about the legality of the fee. The administration clarified that the Legislature had approved new fees up to 10 percent for specific purposes. UNF student activities and services fee was the first 5 percent fee under this category. The academic enhancement fee would be the last such fee.
Chair Taylor asked for a MOTION for approval for the academic enhancement fee. A MOTION was offered and seconded. The MOTION was carried as presented.
President Delaney led this discussion.
President Delaney asked for nominations for chair of the UNF Board of Trustees. Trustee Hugh Greene nominated Trustee Bruce Taylor. President Delaney clarified that, based on UNF's own Board of Trustees bylaws, a fourth term for Trustee Taylor, as chair of the Board, would require a MOTION to suspend the two-term limit. A MOTION to suspend the two-term limit for chair of the UNF Board of Trustees was made and seconded. This MOTION was approved by a super majority of trustees. The MOTION was then seconded for approval of Trustee Taylor as chair of the UNF Board of Trustees. The MOTION was carried by a unanimous vote.
President Delaney asked for nominations for vice chair of the UNF Board of Trustees. Trustee Greene was nominated and the nomination was seconded. President Delaney asked for other nominations and/or a discussion. A MOTION was made to approve the nomination of Trustee Greene as the vice chair of the UNF Board of Trustees. The MOTION was passed as presented.
Chair Taylor stated that it was a great honor to be on the UNF Board of Trustees, let alone to serve as chair. He assured trustees and the administration that he would be giving his best effort to do the right thing for UNF.
Chair Taylor stated that Trustee Newton was a recipient of the prestigious Presidential Medallion, an honor given to community leaders who helped guide UNF. He noted that the university was very fortunate to have Trustee Newton.
Chair Taylor thanked trustees for a productive day. He adjourned the plenary session.

Good afternoon! What a good day this has been! This summit has enabled a crucial, much needed, national-level discussion on mental health.
At VA, we know that when we are able to diagnose and treat, people get better. The President knows that, too. So, between 2009 and 2014, he has requested funding increases for VA mental health totaling almost 57 percent.
Thanks to the President's strong and decisive leadership, VA has expanded its services as the number of Veterans needing mental health care has increased. He announced three of our recent accomplishments this morning:
With his leadership and the support of Congress, VA will continue to improve access to mental health services and reduce the stigma of seeking help.
One of our most effective efforts to improve access is our Veterans Crisis Line, which provides immediate help to Veterans and Servicemembers in distress. In the past six years, the Veterans Crisis Line has answered over 800,000 phone calls and more than 100,000 other online chats and text messages. In the most serious phone calls, 29,000 Veterans have been rescued from a suicide in progress because we were there for them.
Partnering with local communities and other federal agencies can help make the most of resources like the Veterans Crisis Line and our additional 1,600 clinical professionals. And by working together, we can reduce the stigma for all Americans. Everyone can help, and everyone must, if we are to make a difference as the President has emphasized.
We are indebted to all of you for the great work you do. And now, special thanks to our next speaker, Bradley Cooper, whose authentic portrayal of "Pat Solitano" in Silver Linings Playbook helps to shine a spotlight on both the challenges and the triumphs of those dealing with issues of mental health. Bradley?

Settlers, Paleos clash after olive tree attack
QUSRA, Palestinian Territories - Israeli soldiers on Saturday were trying to break up clashes between Palestinians and Jewish settlers in the northern West Bank town of Qusra.
Palestinian security sources and eyewitnesses said settlers used the cover of fog to approach the town south of Nablus with the aim of uprooting dozens of olive saplings, but were confronted by farmers who threw stones at them. Settlers from the nearby Esh Kodesh outpost and Qusra residents also clashed and threw stones at each other on Tuesday, when the Palestinians blamed the settlers for uprooting and damaging olive trees.
The Palestinians said saplings uprooted on Saturday were planted following Tuesdays incident.
A spokeswoman for the army confirmed that there is a confrontation near Esh Kodesh, including mutual stone-throwing.
Soldiers arrived at the scene and are currently responding with riot dispersal means, she added, noting there were reports of a lightly wounded Israeli civilian. The Palestinians said some villagers were injured by tear gas.
The Esh Kodesh settlers had said on Tuesday they would block Palestinians from working in fields near the outpost. Both sides claim ownership of the land.

Bedroom mistakes
Bedroom mistakes often become a subject of concern for many people. While some women are bothered by the fact that a bad sex life will end them up in losing their partner, few men think it is very essential to make their lady shudder while having an orgasm. Therefore, it becomes very important to avoid few commonly occurring mistakes between the sheets to have a healthy and happy sex life.Loading...
Sex sans enthusiasm
Showing your partner that you too are having a good time is very important. Instead of lying in the bed like a wooden plank, show some enthusiasm and take active part in the act. Giving your partner an impression that there were better things that you would be doing instead of having sex can lead to a troubled bedroom life.
Asking questions
Making sure that your partner is having a pleasurable experience is definitely a good idea but constantly nagging him/her by asking questions during intercourse are a turn off. Asking questions continuously such as if `this was ok', `if he/she likes it', `how does it feel' may not be appreciated every time.
Taking a phone call
Answering a phone call during sex or checking a text message is a big NO. This would surely give your partner an impression that there were more important things for you at the moment than sex. Keep your mobile phone or any other sort of distractions away while you are in the act.
Staying silent
Making noise during sex can sometimes be the most arousing factor for your partner. But sometimes you may not want to disturb other inmates. However, make sure that your partner gets to hear you moan in pleasure at regular intervals. Staying dead silent can leave your partner wondering if you are even interested.
Talking about your ex
Talking about your past experiences with someone else must not even be the last thing to do during sex. Even if your past experiences have been amazingly pleasurable, never bring them up during the intercourse. Talking about your ex is a big turn off for your partner and can lead to a distressed sex life.
Not paying attention to other parts of the body
Concentrating on the sex organs no doubt is a good idea but other parts of the body which can sexually arouse your partner should not be ignored. Body parts such neck, knees, wrists and stomach can turn out to be highly erogenous zones.
Having raunchy sex
Although some couples may like it dirty, you should always make it a point to ask your partner if he/she is ok with raunchy sex. At times, your partner may be wishing to have a quiet and intimate intercourse and not treat sex like porn. Therefore, it is advisable to talk it out before you get into the act.
Being unimaginative
Creativity is the key to a healthy sex life. Coming up with new ideas and mixing up different moves during sex can be really useful. Introducing variation to every sexual act can leave your partner speechless and wanting for more.
Not informing your partner before climax
Your partner deserves to know when `you are done' beforehand. You must inform your partner that you are climaxing. This will keep your partner prepared and your ejaculation will not come to her as a surprise.
Throwing your weight on your partner
One must know how to differentiate between a workout session and a sexual intercourse. While having sex, make sure that your weight is not hindering your partner's ability to breathe. Women who like staying on top should balance their body weight on their partner. If your partner is uncomfortable, this would kill the chances of a sexual encounter.

Man Asks For Weed On Twitter, Local Police Tweet Response, Hilarity Ensues
from the high-guys dept
Apparently not for one man in Canada, where I could have sworn enforcement of marijuana crimes was handled in the same way as jay-walking. Unfortunately for him, but very fortunately for the rest of us, the local police were users of both Twitter and humor.
The young man, posting under the user name Sunith Baheerathan, was apparently at work on Tuesday when he wrote, "Any dealers in Vaughan wanna make a 20sac chop? Come to Keele/Langstaff Mr. Lube, need a spliff or two to help me last this open to close."While I tend to have some trust issues with police (But not with the local Chicago police! Swear to god, you guys are the dog's bollocks and all that. I haven't heard a gunshot in hours! Progress!), I can still appreciate when police mix a refusal to overreact to a situation with a little humor. So, apparently, can lots of other people, since the exchange between Sunith and the YRP was retweeted approximately a gazillion times. Guess who happened to be among the YRP's Twitter followers?
The York Regional Police noticed the post — which has since been removed — and replied: "Awesome! Can we come too?"
By Tuesday evening, Mr. Lube tweeted, "Thank you to the York Regional Police for your help and great work. The matter has now been handled."Since then, Sunith has made much noise about how his tweets weren't serious and how he didn't know weed-smokers were hated by society more than "shooters and rapists," two statements which both seem to contradict one another, while also making me wonder how many Canadian police departments are gleefully responding to tweets about shooting and raping folks, but I digress. The lesson here is you shouldn't try to score drugs on Twitter.
Sunith Baheerathan also tweeted: "Just got the call of termination."

"Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'."
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is also available as an Illustrated Kindle-in-Motion edition.
The most popular book in Alberta on this list is The Reckoning.ABOUT THE BOOK
October 1946, Clanton, Mississippi
Pete Banning was Clanton, Mississippi's favorite son—a decorated World War II hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbor, and a faithful member of the Methodist church. Then one cool October morning he rose early, drove into town, walked into the church, and calmly shot and killed his pastor and friend, the Reverend Dexter Bell. As if the murder weren't shocking enough, it was even more baffling that Pete's only statement about it—to the sheriff, to his lawyers, to the judge, to the jury, and to his family—was: "I have nothing to say." He was not afraid of death and was willing to take his motive to the grave.
In a major novel unlike anything he has written before, John Grisham takes us on an incredible journey, from the Jim Crow South to the jungles of the Philippines during World War II; from an insane asylum filled with secrets to the Clanton courtroom where Pete's defense attorney tries desperately to save him.
Reminiscent of the finest tradition of Southern Gothic storytelling, The Reckoning would not be complete without Grisham's signature layers of legal suspense, and he delivers on every page.
Jack Reacher hits the pavement and sticks out his thumb. He plans to follow the sun on an epic trip across America, from Maine to California. He doesn't get far. On a country road deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been: the town where his father was born. He thinks, What's one extra day? He takes the detour.
At the same moment, in the same isolated area, a car breaks down. Two young Canadians had been on their way to New York City to sell a treasure. Now they're stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. The owners seem almost too friendly. It's a strange place, but it's all there is.
The next morning, in the city clerk's office, Reacher asks about the old family home. He's told no one named Reacher ever lived in town. He's always known his father left and never returned, but now Reacher wonders, Was he ever there in the first place?
As Reacher explores his father's life, and as the Canadians face lethal dangers, strands of different stories begin to merge. Then Reacher makes a shocking discovery: The present can be tough, but the past can be tense . . . and deadly.
The most popular book in Newfoundland and Labrador on this list is Nine Perfect Strangers.ABOUT THE BOOK
Nine people gather at a remote health resort. Some are here to lose weight, some are here to get a reboot on life, some are here for reasons they can't even admit to themselves. Amidst all of the luxury and pampering, the mindfulness and meditation, they know these ten days might involve some real work. But none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days are going to be.
Frances Welty, the formerly best-selling romantic novelist, arrives at Tranquillum House nursing a bad back, a broken heart, and an exquisitely painful paper cut. She's immediately intrigued by her fellow guests. Most of them don't look to be in need of a health resort at all. But the person that intrigues her most is the strange and charismatic owner/director of Tranquillum House. Could this person really have the answers Frances didn't even know she was seeking? Should Frances put aside her doubts and immerse herself in everything Tranquillum House has to offer – or should she run while she still can?
It's not long before every guest at Tranquillum House is asking exactly the same question.
Combining all of the hallmarks that have made her writing a go-to for anyone looking for wickedly smart, page-turning fiction that will make you laugh and gasp, Liane Moriarty's Nine Perfect Strangers once again shows why she is a master of her craft.
"'Give me Harry Potter,' said Voldemort's voice, 'and none shall be harmed. Give me Harry Potter, and I shall leave the school untouched. Give me Harry Potter, and you will be rewarded.'"
As he climbs into the sidecar of Hagrid's motorbike and takes to the skies, leaving Privet Drive for the last time, Harry Potter knows that Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters are not far behind. The protective charm that has kept Harry safe until now is broken, but he cannot keep hiding. The Dark Lord is breathing fear into everything Harry loves and to stop him Harry will have to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes. The final battle must begin - Harry must stand and face his enemy ...
"There it was, hanging in the sky above the school: the blazing green skull with a serpent tongue, the mark Death Eaters left behind whenever they had entered a building… wherever they had murdered…"
When Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive one summer night to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shrivelled, but he does not reveal why. Secrets and suspicion are spreading through the wizarding world, and Hogwarts itself is not safe. Harry is convinced that Malfoy bears the Dark Mark: there is a Death Eater amongst them. Harry will need powerful magic and true friends as he explores Voldemort's darkest secrets, and Dumbledore prepares him to face his destiny...

Detective Renée Ballard is working the night beat--known in LAPD slang as "the late show"--and returns to Hollywood Station in the early hours to find a stranger rifling through old file cabinets. The intruder is retired detective Harry Bosch, working a cold case that has gotten under his skin.
Ballard can't let him go through department records, but when he leaves, she looks into the case herself and feels a deep tug of empathy and anger. She has never been the kind of cop who leaves the job behind at the end of her shift--and she wants in.
The murder, unsolved, was of fifteen-year-old Daisy Clayton, a runaway on the streets of Hollywood who was brutally killed, her body left in a dumpster like so much trash. Now Ballard joins forces with Bosch to find out what happened to Daisy, and to finally bring her killer to justice. Along the way, the two detectives forge a fragile trust, but this new partnership is put to the test when the case takes an unexpected and dangerous turn.

"I seen a kid killed...He strangled it, up by the horse."
When Billy, a troubled young man, comes to private eye Cormoran Strike's office to ask for his help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child, Strike is left deeply unsettled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed, and cannot remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story. But before Strike can question him further, Billy bolts from his office in a panic.
Trying to get to the bottom of Billy's story, Strike and Robin Ellacott-once his assistant, now a partner in the agency-set off on a twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside.
And during this labyrinthine investigation, Strike's own life is far from straightforward: his newfound fame as a private eye means he can no longer operate behind the scenes as he once did. Plus, his relationship with his former assistant is more fraught than it ever has been-Robin is now invaluable to Strike in the business, but their personal relationship is much, much trickier than that.
The most epic Robert Galbraith novel yet, Lethal White is both a gripping mystery and a page-turning next instalment in the ongoing story of Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott.
The most popular book in Northwest Territories on this list is Washington Black.ABOUT THE BOOK
In 1830, two English brothers arrive at a Barbados sugar plantation, bringing with them a darkness beyond what the slaves have already known. Washington Black—an eleven-year-old field slave—is horrified to find himself chosen to live in the quarters of one of these men. But his new master is not as Washington expects him to be. He is the eccentric Christopher Wilde—naturalist, explorer, inventor and abolitionist—whose obsession with perfecting a winged flying machine disturbs all who know him. Washington is initiated into a world of wonder: a world where the night sea viewed from a hilltop explodes with light, where a simple cloth canopy can propel a man across the sky, where even a boy born in chains may embrace a life of dignity and meaning—and where two people separated by an impossible divide can begin to see each other as human.
But when a man is killed one fateful night, Washington is left at the mercy of his new masters. Christopher Wilde must choose between family ties and young Washington's life. What follows is a flight along the eastern coast of America, as the men attempt to elude the bounty that has been placed on Washington's head. Their journey opens them up to the extraordinary: a dark encounter with a necropsicist, a scholar of the flesh; a voyage aboard a vessel captained by a hunter of a different kind; a glimpse through an unexpected portal into the Underground Railroad. This is a novel of fraught bonds and betrayal. What brings Wilde and Washington together ultimately tears them apart, leaving the boy to seek his true self in a world that denies his very existence.
From the blistering cane fields of Barbados to the icy wastes of the Canadian Arctic, from the mud-drowned streets of London to the eerie deserts of Morocco, Washington Black teems with all the strangeness and mystery of life. This inventive, electrifying novel asks, what is freedom? Can a life salvaged from the ashes ever be made whole?
Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen—the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria—took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.
What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel's worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed.
With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire & Blood is the the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.
From a master of contemporary fantasy comes the first novel of a landmark series unlike any you've ever read before. With A Game of Thrones, George R. R. Martin has launched a genuine masterpiece, bringing together the best the genre has to offer. Mystery, intrigue, romance, and adventure fill the pages of this magnificent saga, the first volume in an epic series sure to delight fantasy fans everywhere.
Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister forces are massing beyond the kingdom's protective Wall. To the south, the king's powers are failing—his most trusted adviser dead under mysterious circumstances and his enemies emerging from the shadows of the throne. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the frozen land they were born to. Now Lord Eddard Stark is reluctantly summoned to serve as the king's new Hand, an appointment that threatens to sunder not only his family but the kingdom itself.
Sweeping from a harsh land of cold to a summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, A Game of Thrones tells a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; a child is lost in the twilight between life and death; and a determined woman undertakes a treacherous journey to protect all she holds dear. Amid plots and counter-plots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, allies and enemies, the fate of the Starks hangs perilously in the balance, as each side endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.
Unparalleled in scope and execution, A Game of Thrones is one of those rare reading experiences that catch you up from the opening pages, won't let you go until the end, and leave you yearning for more.
In Oathbringer, humanity faces a new Desolation with the return of the Voidbringers, a foe with numbers as great as their thirst for vengeance.
Dalinar Kholin's Alethi armies won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, which now sweeps the world with destruction, and in its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified.
Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put aside Dalinar's blood-soaked past and stand together—and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past—even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not prevent the end of civilization.
My real name, no one remembers.
The truth about that summer, no one else knows.
In the summer of 1862, a group of young artists led by the passionate and talented Edward Radcliffe descends upon Birchwood Manor on the banks of the Upper Thames. Their plan: to spend a secluded summer month in a haze of inspiration and creativity. But by the time their stay is over, one woman has been shot dead while another has disappeared; a priceless heirloom is missing; and Edward Radcliffe's life is in ruins.
Over one hundred and fifty years later, Elodie Winslow, a young archivist in London, uncovers a leather satchel containing two seemingly unrelated items: a sepia photograph of an arresting-looking woman in Victorian clothing, and an artist's sketchbook containing the drawing of a twin-gabled house on the bend of a river.
Why does Birchwood Manor feel so familiar to Elodie? And who is the beautiful woman in the photograph? Will she ever give up her secrets?
Told by multiple voices across time, The Clockmaker's Daughter is a story of murder, mystery, and thievery, of art, love and loss. And flowing through its pages like a river, is the voice of a woman who stands outside time, whose name has been forgotten by history, but who has watched it all unfold: Birdie Bell, the clockmaker's daughter.
Aelin has risked everything to save her people-but at a tremendous cost. Locked within an iron coffin by the Queen of the Fae, Aelin must draw upon her fiery will as she endures months of torture. Aware that yielding to Maeve will doom those she loves keeps her from breaking, though her resolve begins to unravel with each passing day…
With Aelin captured, Aedion and Lysandra remain the last line of defense to protect Terrasen from utter destruction. Yet they soon realize that the many allies they've gathered to battle Erawan's hordes might not be enough to save them. Scattered across the continent and racing against time, Chaol, Manon, and Dorian are forced to forge their own paths to meet their fates. Hanging in the balance is any hope of salvation-and a better world.
And across the sea, his companions unwavering beside him, Rowan hunts to find his captured wife and queen-before she is lost to him forever.
As the threads of fate weave together at last, all must fight, if they are to have a chance at a future. Some bonds will grow even deeper, while others will be severed forever in the explosive final chapter of the Throne of Glass series.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Char from Great style but fabric lacks in quality I am very disappointed with the fabric used in constructing the last few sets of workout outfits I have ordered (and returned). I have several sets of Bebe gym attire that are well constructed with thicker quality fabric, and they have proven to last for several years now despite frequent usage and washings (in machine). I am extremely disappointed with the current fabric blends that feel very flimsy and thin...to be 100% honest.

Even almost completely stripped of the zinger-driven physical comedy that marks "Hannah Montana" the television show and saddled with what may be the most ridiculous climactic situation in teen-movie history, the film allows Cyrus to deliver a solid ingénue performance, shimmering where she needs to shimmer, sassing where she needs to sass and, most important, continuing to offer audiences the image of a lovely but still recognizable real girl onto whom they can project their own dreams.
Oh, and she sings at least two songs that will no doubt become big, big hits.
It isn't easy to take a slapstick sitcom shot on a soundstage and turn it into a dramatic feature film. The show's formula -- the banter-heavy high jinks of Miley Stewart (Cyrus), brother Jackson (Jason Earles), best friends Lilly (Emily Osment) and Oliver (Mitchel Musso) and lovable nemesis Rico (Moises Arias), inevitably tempered with a life lesson provided by dad Robby Ray Stewart ( Billy Ray Cyrus) -- works well in a half-hour laugh-track-heavy format. In a full-length feature film? Well, as Miley would say, not so much.
So screenwriter Daniel Berendsen (the "Twitches" movies and "Sabrina the Teenage Witch") and director Peter Chelsom (2004's "Shall We Dance?") quickly put a great deal of literal and figurative distance between the film and the show. We meet Miley and company in Los Angeles, where the show takes place, through a peppy dance number set to the theme song "Best of Both Worlds."
But there is trouble in paradise. Hannah now has a publicist played by Vanessa Williams in only a slightly dialed-down version of "Ugly Betty's" Wilhelmina. There's also a sleazy tabloid journalist (Peter Gunn) prowling around (British, presumably to avoid offending the local entertainment press).
But that's not really the problem; the problem is that you can't really have the best of both worlds. As Hannah, Miley is in danger of becoming such a little diva -- she engages in a public shoe fight with Tyra Banks! She upstages Lilly's 16th birthday party! -- that Robby Ray yanks her home to the rolling green hills of Tennessee to visit her grandmother, remind her of her roots and straighten her the heck up.
Why anyone would want to leave Crowley Meadows is indeed a mystery. For one thing, Miley's grandmother, Ruby, is played by Margo Martindale, who raises the performance bar with a simple knowing nod. Her farm foreman, Lorelei (Melora Hardin), and farmhand Travis (Lucas Till) provide age-appropriate love interests for both father and daughter. The members of Rascal Flatts regularly hang out in Ruby's big yellow farmhouse, and Taylor Swift drops in for the local fundraiser. All that and a horse named Blue Jeans.
But there is tension here too, in the form of a mildly annoying developer (Barry Bostwick) who wants to build a mall in Crowley Meadows, and there's that nasty journalist and then the whole Hannah/Miley conflict. Caught in the middle of the last is poor Travis, handsome and shockingly credible in a cowboy hat but still able to look Hannah right in the face and not recognize Miley, the girl on whom he has had a crush since first grade.
If only the actual threats of stardom were so benign, if only the solutions so simple and sylvan. But "Hannah Montana: The Movie" and, indeed, Hannah Montana the brand are not about stardom or the music business or even the pitfalls of ambition; they are about empowering kids to follow their dreams while reminding them that family and friends must remain the firm foundation.
Never before has anything remotely connected with the music industry been so resolutely G-rated: When Miley visits a local swimming hole with Travis, she jumps in fully clothed (though clearly wearing a swimsuit underneath).
There's nothing wrong with the message, and heaven knows a G rating is appreciated, but the twin yoke of the Disney brand and the Cryus image (no more ill-advised Vanity Fair sexuality!) does limit what Berendsen can do in terms of dramatic tension.
Hannah can't behave like an actual troubled pop star and retain her audience identification, so her sins are supremely mild and mostly of omission, which must then be ridiculously blown up to allow her the necessary epiphany: Honesty is more important than fame.
At least, I think that's what it was; the climactic moment, though including what will no doubt be the new Disney anthem, was a bit confusing in its message and seemed mostly to involve the Hannah wig.
It also would have been nice to see more of the supporting players who have made the show such a big hit. Osment and Earles especially are both fine comedians, and Earles' Jackson is the main reason most boys watch "Hannah Montana," so limiting their roles -- poor Jackson has to play second fiddle to an ostrich and a ferret -- seems not only unnecessary but potentially risky at the box office.
In the end, "Hannah Montana: The Movie" is big, beautiful, a little boring and utterly safe. There are flashes of inspiration -- the "Hoedown Throwdown" dance, the scenes between Martindale and the Cyruses -- but it also is what it is: Miley Cyrus' next big step.

BALTIMORE — When Neil Saval and his wife closed on a single-family home in Baltimore's Federal Hill neighborhood, his first purchase wasn't a piece of contemporary art or a plush sofa — it was a Panasonic 60-inch flat-screen television.
BALTIMORE — When Neil Saval and his wife closed on a single-family home in Baltimore's Federal Hill neighborhood, his first purchase wasn't a piece of contemporary art or a plush sofa — it was a Panasonic 60-inch flat-screen television.
"The day I settled on the house, the installers were delivering the new TV," the 29-year-old system engineer said. "My wife jokes with me that before we had any furniture, we had to get the TV."
As the NFL playoffs, Super Bowl and Hollywood awards shows — not to mention "Downton Abbey" — draw millions of viewers, big-screen televisions are getting bigger and better and more in demand.
They're joined by a slew of state-of-the-art accouterments such as movie theater-quality sound systems and high-tech projection capability, as well as a camouflaged approach to installation.
"Televisions are bigger, thinner, cooler, better and brighter than ever," said Kevin Luskin, owner of the Big Screen Store in Towson, Md. "They are not intrusive. They can go anywhere."
Seventy-inch televisions are now frequently purchased for bedrooms, according to Luskin.
"The old days of the 30-inch TV in the bedroom has gone to the wayside," said Luskin, who has a 75-inch television in his great room, a 65-inch television in his bedroom and a 110-inch projector TV in his theater room. "This is the bulk of where people live: the bedroom, kitchen, great room."
Recently there has been a push to better incorporate these huge televisions and projectors into existing home decor.
With the touch of a button, screens — sometimes exceeding 70 inches — drop from the ceiling. In some homes, flat-screen televisions have taken the place of large paintings on walls. And accessories such as speakers are now built to blend into the room as opposed to being a focal point.
"My family room looks like a normal family room," said Brian Hudkins, president of Gramophone, which has showrooms in Columbia and Timonium, Md. "When we want to watch a movie, we push a button, the screen comes down and we have a 100-inch projector screen with surround sound."
Hudkins calls the new approach "stealth installation." "The technology disappears," he said.
When Saval purchased his television from the Big Screen Store, he supplied the retailer with the dimensions of his family room. Based on that, the store suggested the 60-inch television, which Saval calls the "perfect size" for the room.
"Everyone who comes over says that the TV is the perfect size for where it is," he said. "It looks like a picture framed on the wall. There are no wires showing. It looks clean and crisp and doesn't look messy."
It's ideal for watching sporting events, "Modern Family" and his favorite comedies and HBO dramas.
"It's awesome. It feels like you are actually there," he said. "I don't need to go the movies anymore. I can get live streamed videos and TV shows and all that good stuff."
As a result of Saval's new purchase, he put his old 37-inch television in his bedroom.
"Now I have a television for every room in the house," he said.
Hudkins sees a growing trend of placing large televisions throughout the house.
"We are seeing people putting larger and larger TVs in what has been considered secondary rooms," said Hudkins, who started to observe a surge in bigger screens several years ago. "We're regularly getting people putting 65-70-inch TVs in bedrooms."
A decrease in prices has been accompanied by an increase in quality, retailers say.
"The quality of the picture is getting better and better," Hudkins said. "As a result, screens can get bigger and the picture quality has gotten better."
Packages can run anywhere from $2,000 for a 65-inch television with "smart" features to just over $10,000 for a 120-inch screen, state-of-the-art projector and top-quality surround sound, according to Hudkins.
As television manufacturers have battled one another to release newer, better models, prices have "trailed down," which has increased the affordability of the product, according to Luskin.
"In the next year you are going to see a greater volume of big-screen televisions and projectors, which will bring down prices," he said. "They've improved their brightness. The graininess is not there. The screens have gotten much better."

Lightbulb Wars Review: GE 13-Watt Energy Smart
Light Bulb:
Price: $10 for eight bulbs at Amazon.com
Household Use: Overhead lamp or high detail task light
Light Appearance: Cooler than incandescent, 2700K
Incandescent It Replaces: General Electric Soft White 60W
Overall Rating: Recommend
I used two of these bulbs as task lights at a table in my kitchen. At first the light seemed much dimmer but I became aware that the Energy Smart bulb illuminated the whole room better than the incandescent bulb.
The Test
Control Bulb: General Electric Soft White 60W
Primary Use: Overhead or high detail task light
Time of Day Tested: 9:30 a.m.
How It Performed: The color is definitely different with this compact florescent bulb. It seems lighter and cooler than the control bulbs were. One notable difference is that the butter no longer melts under the task light because the Energy Smart bulb burns much cooler than the incandescent. The fixture was always hot to the touch when I turned it off before. That is not the case anymore with the new bulbs.
The bulbs were easy to find at Amazon.com, shipped quickly and were at my door in several days.
More Facts About This Light Bulb

Back to campus not only means back to the books, but back to the city. Oklahoma City sites are the text for learning in First Year Adventure, in which students will connect classroom learning and community engagement. The event is facilitated by Ben Langford, OC's Director of the Center for Global Missions. Langford is a former missionary to Uganda.
At each stop on the tour of Oklahoma City, students are asked to reflect on their own aspirations to complete an undergraduate degree and to take their places as Christian leaders. After their trip through the heart of the city, students visit President John deSteiguer's home to hear from a notable community leader.
The Honors First Year Adventure is not a one-day activity, but includes collaborations with many of the state's leading cultural institutions. During the academic year, all Honors students attend the Oklahoma City Philharmonic as a group as a co-curricular involvement for their music history strand; during study of the Italian Renaissance, they visit the Kress Collection of the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa; during their study of the Impressionist and post-Impressionist era in art, they attend the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art; and as they study the Modernist movement in art, they visit the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.
Weekly Symposium meetings with guest, faculty, and student speakers also fill out the annual First Year Adventure in the Honors Program. Past Symposium speakers have included Civil Rights attorney Fred Gray, astronaut Douglas Wheelock, and Constitutional Historian Rufus Fears.
