text: At the BMA: Real-time marketing takes center stage By Christopher Hosford. Published on May 31, 2013. Chicago—Real-time marketing isn't simply about automated ad bidding and retargeting—it's a mindset and a way of doing business in the age of social media, according to presenters Friday at the Business Marketing Association's "Blaze" conference. "The idea of real-time communications—the intersection between Big Data and instant communications—is the most interesting thing going on in b-to-b marketing right now," said marketing consultant David Meerman Scott, in the session, "In the Moment: How and Why to do Real-Time B-to-B Marketing." "Social media is the tool, but it's the mindset that's important," he said. "If you spend all your time focusing on the future, on campaign planning, you'll forget what's going on right now." Automatic Data Processing processes payrolls for about 25 million workers. According to session presenter Matt Petitjean, VP-corporate marketing at ADP, the company's real-time marketing initiatives use this large data set to create monthly reports about employment trends in the U.S. ADP's employment report beats the federal government's monthly unemployment statistics release by two days, he said. "We'll release these numbers on CNBC, our website and social channels simultaneously," Petitjean said. "We do lots of different things at ADP besides payroll and, by producing this content, people know more about us. We become part of the consideration set." The Inland Real Estate Group of Cos., which creates and operates a network of real estate and financial companies, hires journalists to develop stories pertaining to its various member companies in response to breaking news. The stories are rapidly distributed in social media and delivered to member companies for their own marketing use as well. "Now we run the event-marketing team like a newsroom," said panelist Rich Jurek, CMO. "Everyone shares stories and recent events that can be pushed out." GolinHarris is taking this approach internationally. The agency has developed central news commands, which it calls "The Bridge," in 13 sites around the world, with access to multiple types of news feeds. The Bridge employees—former journalists, publicists, social experts and visual artists—monitor the news affecting agency clients and suggest time action plans to them in near real time. "A myth about real-time marketing is it's a seat-of-your-pants, extemporaneous thing," said presenter Jeff Beringer, global practice leader at GolinHarris. "The opposite is true. You need to plan with clients in advance, thinking about fundamental stories you want to and should tell, and the things you want to stay away from." Beringer noted this year's 30-minute Super Bowl power blackout and the tweet from Nabisco's Oreo cookie brand, "You can still dunk in the dark," that became a viral sensation. "But the real impact of real-time marketing isn't when you get lucky once during the Super Bowl," Beringer said. "It's all the other days where you show up with relevant content. It's lots of singles, not so much home runs." Most Popular In this article: BtoB

soup kick lately. Perhaps it's the winter, or the snow, or the fact that I just don't usually make a lot of soup. Consider it a New Years resolution. Also, I seemingly have a knack for leftovers. Little by little I'm starting to break outside the confines of direct recipes and instead pull inspiration from places and make my own dish. This soup started with a trip to
Cape Cod over the holidays, where I had a delicious kale soup at Land Ho!, a great local seafood restaurant.
Bold and determined to use my leftover turkey from Christmas dinner that was not turkey noodle soup, I settled on making a kale and turkey soup. It's really yummy and warm. This recipe is slightly different than the one I actually made because of ingredient choices, but it's going in the folder of regulars at my house.
½ pound spicy Italian sausage or kielbasa, chopped
1 large onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 teaspoon red pepper flake
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup white wine
1 large bunch kale, chopped and bottom stems trimmed
1 pound cooked turkey, shredded
10 cups chicken or turkey stock
1-15oz. can red kidney beans
1 pound bowtie pasta, cooked and drained
1 pound bowtie pasta, cooked and drained
Salt and pepper
In a large pot over medium heat, brown sausage about 3-5 minutes. Remove sausage with slotted spoon and set on plate. Add onion to remaining drippings in man, scraping up the bottom and cooking onions about 2 minutes. Add the celery and carrots and cook until just beginning to soften, about 3 more minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, followed by the bay leaves, red pepper flake, rosemary, tomato paste, some salt, and thyme. Add wine to pan to deglaze. Add in the turkey (and a leftover bone if you have it), stock, sausage, beans, pasta, and kale. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper (and more red pepper flake if you want more heat). Serve and enjoy.

I love this time of year! I love the crispness in the air, the slighly chilly mornings which reminds me that Fall is right around the corner.
This time of year all I want to do is eat and bake and then eat some more. It's also the perfect time for apples, and when I think of apples I like to think of a caramel apple. Well lately I have been craving a good caramel apple. Of course I don't really know where to get a good caramel apple here in the city with out paying an arm and leg for it. So most of the time I just get those yummy Kraft caramel squares and melt them and endulge in the yumminess. Well not this time, this time around I decided to bust out my family recipe for caramel dipping sauce.
This sauce is my favorite and I don't know why I haven't made it until now. I may or may not have been caught eating this with a spoon
- 1 cup Butter
- 2¼ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Light Corn Syrup
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- dash of salt
- Melt Butter in heavy saucepan, add brown sugar and salt, stirring thoroughly
- Stir in corn syrup and mix well. Gradually add condensed milk, stirring constantly until smooth (don't shortcut on the mixing as it can cause it to be grainy).
- Cook over medium heat to 245º (about 15 minutes). Use a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Serve with apples, pears, and bananas. Can be kept warm in a crockpot on warm or low. If it starts to get thick, just add a little milk. Store in an airtight container in fridge up to 30 days.

Hello Fools! 1st Posting to this Foolish Board, Help this Fool decide what to do! Here's my dilemma: Like a fool, I'm swamped with credit card debt at 16% APR. My current plan puts me out of this curse by Feb'99. I'm also enrolled in my employer's stock purchase plan. For every 2 stocks I purchase with after-tax dollars, they add 1. Whithin a two year period, I can sell the stocks I paid for, but forfeit the "gift". If I hold on to the stocks for 2 or more years, I can sell all if I want. So I'm effectively buying stocks at a 33% discount IF I DO HOLD ON TO THEM FOR 2 YEARS. I'm contributing a fair amount (in my world) to this plan. Purchases are executed quarterly at the lowest daily closing price for the quarter (potentially increasing the discount). Being desperate to start building my savings, I had the idea of pulling out of the stock purchase plan for now and dump this money to pay off my credit card (this would put me out of debt 3 months earlier). I can't come up with some math to help me weigh one option against the other. Here are some numbers for the Foolish angels that so kindly would roll up their sleeves to pull this fellow Fool out of despair: -Stock: HWP -Quarterly Contributions to Stock Purchase Plan: $870 -Quarterly Matching by my employer if I participate and hold stocks for 2 years: $435 -Credit Card Debt: $4,700 -APR on Credit Card: 14% -Planned Monthly Payments to Credit Card: $750 -C.C. Payments if Pull Out of Plan: $1,040 (and save approx. $110 in interest paymts). Thanks in advance for your insight and recommendations. Dominicus

A YouTube video uploaded by an experienced straw bale gardener described how he starts conditioning the straw bales in the winter (he is in northern snow country). I kicked it into high gear to dig out the Bermuda grass so I could allow more time for the straw bales to start composting before the spring planting season began.
|19 Jan 2012
The orientation of the straw bales is another consideration. It is suggested to set the bales where the straw is oriented in a vertical direction. I experimented with the straw oriented in each direction and both directions gave the same final results. I noticed that the straw bales set with the straw in a vertical direction were easier to soak compared with the bales that were set with the straw in a horizontal direction. The water had the tendency to run off the sides of the bales set with the straw in a horizontal position rather than soaking in. That was when I was watering by hand. Once I installed the soaker hose system and the straw bales were well into composting mode, it really didn't make much of a difference.
I set the straw bales roughly 3 inches into the dirt for stabilization. The bricks were placed more for decoration at this point but they still provided additional stabilization for the tall straw bales. Their main purpose is to hold the remaining composted straw bales at the end of the season.
I tried an experiment with three straw bales in April, just before the 2 driest months of the year. I worried that it would be difficult to maintain enough moisture for the conditioning period this late in the season so I set them deeper (half way down) into the soil. That worked as well as setting them down 3 inches and they held enough moisture between the watering schedules to grow the plants. I noted that they composted down below the ground level within a couple of months. I added topsoil over them to bring up the soil level when it was necessary.
I was not aware until recently that our neighborhood has a burrowing animal problem. The culprit has not been identified yet but I have noticed about a month ago that it has discovered my garden. The holes look suspiciously like a mole's handiwork but my neighbors report a ground squirrel infestation. Laying down wire screen or fencing before you set your straw bales is recommended as a preventative measure.
|19 Mar 2012
I realized quickly that hand watering the seedlings became not only a chore (unclipping the covers sometimes twice a day) but the pressure was also disturbing the seeds and soil. The water spray, even at the lightest setting was washing away the little bit of soil on top and exposing the seedling's roots. Since I noticed seeds from the inside ring of straw bales were sprouting in the outer ring and seedlings growing between the bricks and bales, I could only imagine that the water pressure must have caused the seeds to bounce off one straw bale onto another and rooted. My tip for you is to set up your automatic watering system before or immediately after you sow your seeds. I used a small diameter soaker hose system and set the schedule for twice a day. The key to success is to never let the straw bales dry out. I also recommend buying an extra straw bale. I used loose straw to fill in the gaps between the bales and to spread around the base of the plants as needed.
|11 Apr 2012
I had my first minor setback in early May. I made the mistake of uncovering the straw bales for some anticipated rain but we received a freak hailstorm instead. The young plants were battle worn but all of them fully recovered to my great surprise.
|9 May 2012
|31 May 2012
|1 Jul 2012
To plant a starter in the bales, create a hole using a spade. Sometimes a pruner is necessary if the straw is tough and you need to transfer a plant from a quart size pot. I pushed the straw down using my fist until I felt resistance. I made a hole at least 1" larger in diameter and 2" deeper than the pot that the starter plant came in. I poured 2" of enriched soil in the hole, nestled the plant in, added the soil to fill in the extra space and spread the straw I removed from the hole over the base. I used the soil from my garden mixed with organic compost. As a side note, I discovered later that this is not recommended as you run the risk of adding harmful viruses or plant-parasite nematodes from your garden's soil. I didn't have any problems that I'm aware of so use your best judgment.
|29 Jul 2012
|3 Aug 2012
The challenges with nurturing the kitchen garden had more to do with the factors any gardener would face and were unrelated to the straw bale gardening method. The straw bales provided the necessary nutrients and then some. Although a variety of garden pests arrived; vine borers, squash bugs, flea beetles, locusts, hornworms and leaf-footed bugs, the plants held up against the onslaught remarkably well. I attribute this to the fact that the plants were strong and healthy, living in the rich environment that the composting straw bales provided. The swiss chard reached science fiction proportions.
I feel a sense of validation when several visitors expressed the desire to try straw bale gardening after seeing my results. In fact, my partner was told, "You must have started something", from the feed store employee who remembered us buying straw bales for gardening earlier in the year because they were currently sold out of straw bales with the demand coming from other gardeners in the area.

Valentine's Day need not simply be a day to think of love only in terms of our own romantic partner or our own children or our own parents. Yes, Hallmark and Russell Stover want us to believe that this is what a holiday based on love is all about, but perhaps we can choose differently. Perhaps we can choose to utilize this day to consider what it could mean to our world to simply LOVE 'EM ANYWAY... All of them anyway. Everyone anyway...
The boy who answers you rudely in the carpool... LOVE him anyway.
The woman who bristles at you in the check-out line... LOVE her anyway.
The man who begs for money on the street... LOVE him anyway.
The woman who uses drugs... LOVE her anyway.
The girl who bullies your child... LOVE her anyway.
The husband who cheats... LOVE him anyway.
The mother who belittled... LOVE her anyway.
The father who was weak... LOVE him anyway.
The murderer who endangers our city... LOVE him anyway.
But how? HOW some might ask. First of all, LOVING THEM ANYWAY has nothing to do with not allowing natural consequences to unfold. To put that in street terms, if you do the crime, you must do the time. Every single choice, EVERY CHOICE, leads us in a direction and into another choice. WE are responsible for our choices. There are natural consequences for our choices. Period.
And yet, there is a third perspective that very few on our planet have ever tapped into, much less lived, and the time has come for more of us to do so if we truly wish to offer our highest self to others and heal our divisive world.
This third perspective is a HEART-BASED perspective that holds opposing perspectives in a place of Oneness and LOVE, and it goes something like this:
We truly see a woman who has been abused, and we feel her pain and sorrow—and without judgment—we LOVE her anyway. Likewise, we truly see the man who abused her, and we feel his pain and rage—and without judgment—we LOVE him anyway.
When we truly see another we see past their humanity and into their soul. We feel BOTH the reality of our shared humanity AND the essence of our shared spirit, simultaneously. S.I.M.U.L.T.A.N.E.O.U.S.L.Y. As ONE...
This third perspective is called "Christ Consciousness" and "The Buddha Within" and it is available to all of us like never before. When we allow the third perspective, we transcend the duality of the limited human perspective and include ALL in our LOVE, and know ourselves as consciously spirit-embodied. There is no higher way that we can navigate our world.
A rare few have offered us this perspective through their own lives lived, and the message has always been JOIN ME in this heart-based consciousness. The message has always been WE ARE ALL ONE. The message has always been judge not. The message has always been the PEACE that passeth all understanding.
So this Valentine's Day, perhaps it is time to feel beyond what we normally perceive as LOVE. This Valentine's Day let it not simply be about a limited romantic love for a few who are mine but rather an infinite love that includes everything.
If we remain locked in solely the human perspective, we remain locked in a limited capacity to love.
The time has come. Rip your heart open wider, deeper, broader and higher.
Our heart awaits the rip.
Our world awaits 7 billion rips...
Warmth and LOVE,

What ultimately distinguishes Hamilton's program is what one professor calls its "contemporaneousness." Productions not only entertain but explore the many social and multicultural dimensions of performance. Theatre on the Hill is a dynamic, challenging community that aims to awaken and cultivate every student's creative potential and presence.

TUBA CITY, Arizona - Heidi Montag was visiting the world famous Grand Canyon in Arizona before President Obama sells it to a group of rich North Korean investors.
She was dressed in a brand new Daisy Duke outfit that she said she had been given by a special someone whom she refused to name. Heidi did mention that the individuals initials were G.F.
One of the paparazzi that was following her around shouted out Gina Frankenbicker?
Another hollered out Gertie Firesteel? And yet another shouted out GooGoo Fappamuski?
"Hey y'all." Heidi shouted out. "What is with up with y'all? Why in the world have y'all mentioned female names and not a one of you has mentioned a male name?"
One of the media members, Ridley "Snap Snap" Riley confessed that since Joan Rivers had made her remark to Glenn Beck of Fox News that they all just assumed that Heidi had in fact become a lesbian, or lesbianite as they are called south of the Mason-Dixon line, down in the land of cotton, where old times there are not forgotten, and people still do look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.
Montag became furious. "I am not a lesbian or even a lesbianite!" she yelled out accidentally hitting a reporter for USA Today with a little bitty gob of saliva.
Heidi asked what exactly that World War I, Jewish bitch Joan "The Moan" Rivers had said.
She was told that Rivers had said that several Hollywood starlets and wannabee celebs had commented that Heidi's brand new plastic teeter-totters tasted a lot like plastic water bottles.
Rivers also said that the executives at Six Flags of California asked her if she would like to be one of the kiddy water rides since at least a dozen kids could hop on top of her and float safely down an amusement park water culvert.
SIDENOTE: Heidi noted that Joan Rivers has had so many facelifts that if she has one more she will have to remove her girdle in order to paint her toenails.

Journalism 2.0: The pros and cons of liveblogging trials
Mark Briggs compares and contrasts the use of liveblogging to cover two different trials: the first in 2007 covered by the Bakersfield Californian; the second by Jason Trahan over the past year for the Dallas Morning News:
Trahan used his laptop and iPhone to cover the trial via a closed-circuit feed in an overflow room at the courthouse. The Dallas Bar Association specifically praised his trial blog coverage when handing him an award for legal reporting, and he also was named the paper's 2009 Beat Reporter of the Year.
He said blogging throughout the day forced him to be more mentally focused during testimony, which then allowed him to "mine" from his blog entries at the end of the day while writing his newspaper stories.

quote:AP source: Census worker hanged with 'fed' on body
By DEVLIN BARRETT and JEFFREY McMURRAY (AP) 13 hours ago
WASHINGTON A U.S. Census worker found hanged from a tree near a Kentucky cemetery had the word "fed" scrawled on his chest, a law enforcement official said Wednesday, and the FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government sentiment.
The law enforcement official, who was not authorized to discuss the case and requested anonymity, did not say what type of instrument was used to write the word on the chest of Bill Sparkman, a 51-year-old part-time Census field worker and teacher. He was found Sept. 12 in a remote patch of the Daniel Boone National Forest in rural southeast Kentucky.
The Census has suspended door-to-door interviews in rural Clay County, where the body was found, pending the outcome of the investigation. An autopsy report is pending.
Investigators have said little about the case. FBI spokesman David Beyer said the bureau is assisting state police and declined to confirm or discuss any details about the crime scene.
"Our job is to determine if there was foul play involved and that's part of the investigation and if there was foul play involved, whether that is related to his employment as a Census worker," said Beyer.
Attacking a federal worker during or because of his federal job is a federal crime.
Sparkman's mother, Henrie Sparkman of Inverness, Fla., told The Associated Press her son was an Eagle scout who moved to the area to be a local director for the Boy Scouts of America. She said he later became a substitute teacher in Laurel County and supplemented that income as a Census worker.
She said investigators have given her few details about her son's death they told her the body was decomposed and haven't yet released his body for burial. "I was told it would be better for him to be cremated," she said.
Henrie Sparkman said her son's death is a mystery to her.
"I have my own ideas, but I can't say them out loud. Not at this point," she said. "Right now, what I'm doing, I'm just waiting on the FBI to come to some conclusion."
Lucindia Scurry-Johnson, assistant director of the Census Bureau's southern office in Charlotte, N.C., said law enforcement officers have told the agency the matter is "an apparent homicide" but nothing else.
Census employees were told Sparkman's truck was found nearby, and a computer he was using for work was found inside it, she said. He worked part-time for the Census, usually conducting interviews once or twice a month.
Sparkman has worked for the Census since 2003, spanning five counties in the surrounding area. Much of his recent work had been in Clay County, officials said.
Door-to-door operations have been suspended in Clay County pending a resolution of the investigation, Scurry-Johnson said.
The Census Bureau has yet to begin door-to-door canvassing for the 2010 head count, but it has thousands of field workers doing smaller surveys on various demographic topics on behalf of federal agencies. Next year, the Census Bureau will dispatch up to 1.2 million temporary employees to locate hard-to-find residents.
The Census Bureau is overseen by the Commerce Department.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of our co-worker," Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with William Sparkman's son, other family and friends."
Locke called him "a shining example of the hardworking men and women employed by the Census Bureau."
Appalachia scholar Roy Silver, a New York City native now living in Harlan County, Ky., said he doesn't sense an outpouring of anti-government sentiment in the region as has been exhibited in town hall meetings in other parts of the country.
"I don't think distrust of government is any more or less here than anywhere else in the country," said Silver, a sociology professor at Southeast Community College.
The most deadly attack on federal workers came in 1995 when the federal building in Oklahoma City was devastated by a truck bomb, killing 168 and injuring more than 680. Timothy McVeigh, who was executed for the bombing, carried literature by modern, ultra-right-wing anti-government authors.
A private group called PEER, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, tracks violence against employees who enforce environmental regulations, but the group's executive director, Jeff Ruch, said it's hard to know about all of the cases because some agencies don't share data on instances of violence against employees.
From 1996 to 2006, according to the group's most recent data, violent incidents against federal Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service workers soared from 55 to 290.
Ruch said that after the 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City, "we kept getting reports from employees that attacks and intimidation against federal employees had not diminished, and that's why we've been tracking them."
"Even as illustrated in town hall meetings today, there is a distinct hostility in a large segment of the population toward people who work for their government," Ruch said.
quote: and the FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government sentiment.
quote:That's messed up. All the Census Bureau does is collect data, analyze it and provide statistics, right?
quote:I dont get this beef against census workers or the census in general. Last time they did a census they came to my door in NYC, and quite frankly, I have no idea why anyone would be pissed at them. What is the big deal? Do people think government is trying to get information on them?
quote:As a wise person said once: We have the technology.....
quote:When I saw the headline, I thought this was going to be in another country, not here.
Not to make light of it, but I wonder why a 51 year old man's mother would mention he was an Eagle Scout.
quote:Didn't Michelle Bachmann get some stuff stirred up about the census takers and internment camps, etc?

No. 1 USC remains undefeated after 17-6 rout of No. 11 Loyola Marymount
WESTCHESTER, Calif. -- No. 1 USC blasted in 13 goals in the second and third periods of play to pull ahead of No. 11 Loyola Marymount for a 17-6 nonconference win on Thursday.
A second-period hat trick from Monica Vavic was a big spark for the Women of Troy, who got nine players in on the scoring to help keep USC's undefeated record well intact. The Trojans improved to 19-0 with the win against LMU.
The Lions had the reins on the Trojans through the first nine minutes of action, keeping it a one-goal game as Laura Lopez painted the corners with back-to-back goals to make it 4-3 USC just a minute into the second period.
USC surged back alive from there, however, and deposited six consecutive goals into the back of the net by halftime for a 10-3 halftime advantage. Vavic and Jayde Appel each tallied a pair of goals during the run, which extended to seven in a row when Kaleigh Gilchrist finished off a Kelly Mendoza feed to make it 11-3 Trojans early in the third.
USC continued to pepper the LMU goal with shots and scores in the third period. Lopez scored a goal for the Lions, but the Trojans got a spike at the post from Vavic for her fourth goal of the day as well as a five-meter penalty shot from Colleen O'Donnell, a 6-on-5 blast from Madeline Rosenthal, a finish out of a scrum at set from Appel and finally a smooth bar-in rocket from Eike Daube to take the Trojans ahead 16-5 entering the final period of play.
The scoring frenzy settled out in the fourth, with each team landing a goal apiece. Lopez laced another one in top shelf for LMU, but USC's Olivia Cummins answered with a cross-cage lob that wrapped up the day's scoring with the scoreboard reflecting a dominating 17-6 USC victory.

Financial Aid forms become available in December of each year, but the FAFSA may be submitted any time after October 1st. Please note that effective 2018-19, the FAFSA will require prior-prior year taxes (2016), in place of the prior year as it's been in previous years. If you have interviewed with us prior to January, we will email you the information on the application process including all forms. Starting in January and beyond, the Office of Financial Aid will share information with applicants on how to apply during their interview session.
Interviewed applicants do not need to be admitted to TUSM in order to submit financial aid applications.

This is particularly true for applicants who have interviewed with us and remain in Active Wait List status. Students in this group may be admitted at any time and required to respond quickly. If your complete financial aid application is already on file in the Financial Aid Office, the staff is able to generate an award in a timely manner so that you can make your decision.
Financial Aid Awards for Accepted Applicants
The Admissions Office notifies the Financial Aid Office when an applicant has been admitted to TUSM. If the applicant has submitted a complete financial aid application, the Financial Aid Office staff generates a financial aid award letter as soon as possible.
All applicants admitted prior to March who have submitted complete financial aid applications should expect to receive an award letter in April.
Applicants admitted during and after the month of April will be packaged as soon as possible after their admission. The Financial Aid Office staff will award a newly admitted applicant quickly, but they must have the applicant's complete financial aid application on file to do so.

The Northwest Climate Science Center (NW CSC) combines academic expertise with federal resources to provide climate science for managers and policy makers in the Northwest region.
In 2010 the NW CSC was established by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) to help safeguard the region's natural and cultural resources by providing managers and policy-makers across Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Western Montana with timely, relevant, accessible climate science. The NW CSC is one of eight regional DOI Climate Science Centersacross the country coordinated through the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The center is a consortium of three major universities: Oregon State University, the University of Washington and the University of Idaho with federal oversight from USGS. In January of 2012 the NW CSC adopted a Strategic Plan for 2012-2015 as a practical blueprint to support DOI's proactive strategy to address current and future impacts of climate change. Download our brochure here.
The NW CSC's vision is:
To become nationally recognized as a best-practice model for the provision of climate science and decision support tools to address conservation and management issues in the Pacific Northwest Region.
The vision includes two overarching goals supported by a set of interrelated objectives that describe the core services provided by the NW CSC to the NW community. These goals are to:
- Establish a significant and effective leadership presence to strengthen the region's ability to plan and implement a coordinated climate science portfolio.
- Develop resources and programs to enhance climate science literacy, and give regional audiences the necessary tools and information to promote climate change awareness.
The NW CSC meets its goals through five primary services:
EXECUTIVE SERVICES – The NW CSC provides guidance and support for climate-related activities through coordination and engagement with relevant stakeholders. The NW CSC's Executive Stakeholder Advisory Committee is comprised of representatives from local, state and federal agencies, Landscape Cooperatives and tribes who convene regularly to discuss developments and prioritize science needs.
SCIENCE SERVICES – The NW CSC works to identify and address the current and future climate science needs of managers and decision-makers in the Northwest. A Science Agenda was adopted in January 2012 to identify annual and long-term research priorities.
DATA SERVICES – The NW CSC collects and secures climate data while providing timely access, analytical functions, and interpretive services. The NW CSC works with partners to organize, store and make accessible the rapidly increasing volumes of data relevant to NW climate scientists and natural and cultural resource managers.
COMMUNICATION SERVICES – The NW CSC promotes the exchange of information among regional stakeholders and works to raise awareness of climate issues in the Northwest. Its Communication Strategy, adopted in March 2013, describes the intended audiences and best approaches to reach them effectively.
EDUCATION and TRAINING SERVICES – The NW CSC supports broad participation in climate science and the education of diverse young scientists through graduate fellowships and training including during an annual weeklong professional development retreat know as Climate Bootcamp.

Chapter 10, Google Today, Google Tomorrow Summary
Google faces many challenges in the coming years as it grows from 3,000 employees to perhaps 30,000. Continuing to innovate, keeping highly productive employees and learning how to partner with more traditional companies are among these challenges. Shona Brown is hired as vice president of business operations to keep Google from imploding and failing to execute. Page and Brin create a declaration of principles and values for the company, known as the Tablets. Using the Tablets as a base, Brown and Schmidt reorganize Google so that it can scale to a company ten times its present size. This amounts to an organization around core groups of functions, with encouragement for the engineers to keep acquired products viable and to dream of future products.
Google develops an odd culture over its five years of growth, and this culture...

I waited after the game with Renee. (We opted out of the post-season speech from Coach Wright; seeing seventeen- and eighteen-year-old boys cry is never fun.) First out were Andy and Bear. The second Renee saw Andy, she was in his arms and they were gone. ("We're gonna have a talk first," Renee had said when I asked if they were back together. Yeah, right.) Bear hesitated, then gave me a small wave and wandered off. Lawrie came out not too long after and I ran into his hug.
"Congratulations," I whispered.
He grinned back at me, and then his eyes focused somewhere behind me. I followed his gaze; Della was waiting patiently by the steps.
I rolled my eyes. "Go on."
He gave me a quick peck on the cheek and hurried towards Della.
"Hey, Lawrie!" I called. He turned. "I love you, big brother." I sent him a goofy grin. He blew me kisses back.
"Em," I heard behind me. I turned to find myself face to face with Lane.
I opened my mouth to tell him how incredibly proud I was, but suddenly his lips were on mine. His hands were in my hair and I let my arms find his face. Finally, my brain caught up and I pushed back from his kiss, breathing hard.
"Lane," I gasped, ridiculously confused and shaken up.
"Lane!" My utterance was echoed by a much more adult, more male, more urgent one. Farther up, by the parking lot, Lane's step-father, Mr. Addy, was standing, hands in his pockets. His expression wasn't exactly readable, but it wasn't a good one. Lane took one look at him and immediately headed that direction.
Lawrie (and Della) came up behind me, laughing. "What in the hell was that all about? Did Laney seriously just kiss you?"
I didn't even look at him; my eyes were focused on Lane. (Honestly, I was just pleased Lawrie wasn't super pissed off. I mean, his best friend just kissed his sister.) "Lawrie, it's Mr. Addy," I said.
"Oh, now he decides to show." He followed my gaze and we watched as Lane neared Mr. Addy. His pace slowed the closer he got.
"What's going on?" Mom showed up just as Lane stopped, stiff in front of Mr. Addy, who looked a little beaten down.
I don't know what Mr. Addy said, but he said something that made Lane jerk back. Then his knees gave out and Laney collapsed in super slow motion, his whole body loose. Mom brought her hand up to her mouth in shock and tears filled my eyes as I watched Mr. Addy crouch next to Lane as he lay crumpled, shaking. It was obvious what had been said.
Lawrie tried to go to his best friend, but Mom and I both reached out to stop him. "Give him a little space, Lawrie," Mom whispered.
But then Lawrie was crying, and it was all too much so we let go. Lawrie staggered at first, but then we were behind him, following him, and he picked up speed, practically running. He stopped about ten feet away from Lane, and Mr. Addy looked up. Up close, I could tell that he, too, was crying.
Slowly, he held out his keys. "Go get the car, would you?" he asked Lawrie.
My brother nodded, but hesitated before walking close enough to take the keys from Mr. Addy's shaky hand. His eyes never left Lane's quivering body.
Mom, Della and I stood there, still a little distance away, waiting for Lawrie to come back. Lane continued to shake, his face hidden, shivering like he was cold, until his body relaxed into a slump that was somehow sadder than the shaking.
Lawrie pulled Mr. Addy's car up to the curb and got out, but he stood back. Mr. Addy whispered something to Lane, then lifted him up and practically carried him to the car. Laney was dead weight in his arms.
I only caught one glimpse of his face, after Mr. Addy's short, quiet conversation with my mom. Lane was hunched in the passenger seat, facing forwards, but just as Mr. Addy climbed in the car, Lane turned a fraction and the light hit just right and I could see him perfectly. He wasn't crying, just staring. He seemed to see through me, but for a split second as the car lurched away, our eyes connected and the incredible, overwhelming desperation he sent out in his gaze almost knocked me over.
The car faded away and Mom stepped in front of me and Lawrie. "Kids, Mrs. Keaton passed away this morning," she unnecessarily informed us.
The funeral was a couple days later, on a Tuesday. The whole baseball team was there, but Lawrie and I sat in a pew with our family. It was the first funeral I'd ever been to, and it was one of the saddest days I'd ever experienced. The entire church was visibly upset, as much for Mrs. Keaton as for Lane and Mr. Addy. Everybody was crying.
Well, except for Laney.
He sat in the front, next to Mr. Addy and his dad and step-mom, who'd flown in from California. It was one of the few times I'd ever seen Mr. Keaton; it was easy to tell where Lane got his looks. They were almost the same build and bore a striking facial resemblance to each other. Except for his eyes. Laney's gray-green eyes were exactly like his mother's.
It took me a minute to realize it was the first time I'd ever seen Lane Keaton in a suit. (He'd never gone to prom and had managed to squeak by in khakis and a dress shirt at both of my sisters' weddings.) He cleaned up nice, better than I cared to admit. A brief flashback of our kiss popped into my head, and a blush crept up my cheeks before I could push the image out. I was half hoping that Lane would come up and talk to me, explain to me, but I forced myself to acknowledge that he had much bigger things on his mind than a high school girl.
After the service, there was a brief graveside ceremony, for family and close friends. The entire Wilder family was in attendance. I watched Lane closely the whole time, but he stared blankly ahead until the end of the service.
The headstone was simple. It read
Cora J. Keaton-Addy
Beloved mother and wife
followed by her date of birth and the day she died. It was short and concise, but Lane stood, gazing at the headstone as if there were something there he desperately needed to decipher. The desperation was the first emotion I'd seen from him all day.
Lawrie and I didn't even try to talk to him, not until later, back at his house. There were tons of people there, all trying to comfort poor Mr. Addy. But Lane was nowhere to be seen.
"He's upstairs," Mr. Addy mouthed desperately from across the room.
I took Lawrie's hand for support and we casually snuck up the staircase. Upstairs it was much quieter, and we stood in the dimly lit hallway outside of Lane's room (a room I'd rarely ever been in) and took a much needed deep breath. Lawrie glanced anxiously at me and I nodded. He tapped lightly on the door.
"Lane?" His voice was hushed out of respect.
No answer.
Slowly, he opened the door enough for us to step inside. Lane's room hadn't changed since I'd last been in it, months prior. Lane sat pitifully on his bed in the semi-dark, shoulders slumped. He was still dressed to the nines, apart from his jacket, which was flung over his desk chair. He hadn't even kicked off his shoes or untucked his shirt or loosened his tie.
"Lane," my brother pleaded, and my heart broke at the emotion in his voice.
Lane didn't acknowledge us.
"How you holding up?" Lawrie tried again, sitting down an awkward distance away from Lane on the bed.
Finally, Lane shifted his focus from the floorboards and looked up at us. His face was a hard slate, and though his eyes were focused in our direction, his stare seemed to go straight past us, to not even see us, much as it had the last time I'd seen him, at the game. Just as quickly as he'd looked up, he let his gaze slide back down to the floor. Lawrie stood up hastily and swept a hand across his face. He brushed by me and I followed him out, quietly closing the door behind us.
Lawrie was halfway down the stairs before I could stop him, so I just let him go. He walked straight over to where Mom, Coach Wright and Coach Levy were standing.
"I'm going home," he said to Mom.
Coach Wright touched his shoulder. "Do you know where Laney is? Coach Levy and I'd like to pay our respects."
Lawrie's jaw clenched. "He's not here."
That night, I crawled into Lawrie's bed after I'd showered. He rolled over and let me lay my head on his shoulder, our familiar position. But Lane's side of the bed felt empty, and we both lay awake for hours, thinking.
I couldn't get Lane's kiss out of my head, or the Lane I'd seen today, distant and blank. I couldn't get the two to mesh. Lawrie hadn't been lying when he told Coach Wright that Lane wasn't there. That boy upstairs in Mr. Addy's house wasn't Lane.
I slept in Lawrie's room every night for a week.
Images of Lane's kiss swirled around in my head, mixing with images of Lane at the funeral, Lane right after they won the game, Lane the day I'd picked him up from the hospital, Lane the day he'd warned me about Bear.
My favorite was a memory I had of him hunched in the floor in Lawrie's room. He was laboriously following along as I read Macbeth aloud. I had stopped for a second to look at him. His eyes were scrunched in concentration, but at my pause he looked up, and all the frustration melted off his face. His smile was contagious.
I sat up suddenly in the bed. It was barely morning (I hadn't slept a wink), but the sun couldn't penetrate the blankets still hanging on Lawrie's windows.
I had come to a conclusion. I had to talk to Lane, to get it out in the open and figure out what the hell was going on between us, what the hell I was feeling.
Lawrie and I had been giving him space, but a week was space enough. No visits, no calls, no quick little texts, "Hey, I'm okay. I'm alive." Nothing. I was suddenly more than a little pissed.
I threw on a pair of shorts and headed downstairs. I was starving, but I had finally worked up the courage to confront Lane, and I ignored my hunger. Mom and Dad were watching the 6:00 news in their pajamas; I don't think they even heard me leave.
I walked to Lane's house. (It wasn't that far if you cut through the Summers's back yard.) I knocked on the door at 6:17. I heard a shuffling as somebody pushed back a stool. I found that I was very, very nervous.
A haggard Mr. Addy opened the door, his surprise at seeing me so early evident in his expression. "Emma Gray?"
"I need to see Lane."
His expression changed, but I cut him off before he could say anything.
"I know he's going through a hard time – a very hard time," I continued. "And I've been trying to give him time, but neither Lawrie nor I have heard from him in a week and there's something I really need to talk to him about. I promise I'll be quick. I won't stay long.
"I just need to see Lane," I spat out.
Mr. Addy sighed. His head was bowed. "I'm sorry, but-"
"Please, Mr. Addy? I promise-"
He held up a hand. "Emma. I'm really sorry, I am. But Lane's not here."
Well, boy did I feel dumb. "Oh. I'm so sorry." I turned to leave. "I'll just come back, you know, later or something," I mumbled.
"He really didn't tell you two?"
I stopped. "Tell us what?"
Mr. Addy sighed again. "Lane went to California. His father thought it would be best."
The air around me disappeared and I struggled to take a breath. "What?" I rasped.
"They left the day after the funeral. I'm really sorry, Emma Gray. I thought he'd told you."
"For how long?" I managed to get out.
Mr. Addy shrugged. "The rest of summer, I suppose."
Finally my shock ebbed and I found my voice. "But that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!" I exploded. "That's not fair! His dad can't just move him away. That's not fair to Lane! He needs to be here, with people who love him and need him. He can't just come back eighteen years into his son's life and start making important decisions for him. That's not fair." I was practically sobbing.
Another shrug. Mr. Addy looked highly uncomfortable with a crying seventeen-year-old girl on his doorstep. "He didn't exactly complain. I think Lane just wanted to get away for a little while."
"Of course he did," I muttered. "All Lane ever does is ignore the problem."
I ran the whole way home, crying. Mom and Dad looked up as I blew through the door.
"Emma!" Mom exclaimed.
I didn't pause to talk to her. I stormed upstairs and into Lawrie's room, followed by my oh-so-concerned parents. I guess I made enough noise to wake Lawrie up, because he peeked open one eye, took a look at me (tears streaming down my face) and sat bolt upright.
"Laney's gone," I sobbed. "He went to California with his dad."
I crumpled onto Lawrie's bed and he held me while I cried and recounted my conversation with Mr. Addy. Mom and Dad had vanished by the time I was done.
Between Lawrie and I, we tried calling Lane 12 times in the next two days. Add that to the myriad times we'd tried him in the past week, and I'd given up.
Lane was gone.
Thousands of questions raced around in my head. There were the practical ones. What was he doing all summer? Why wouldn't he talk to us? Was he still going to school next year? What about all the stuff he'd left at our house?
But worse were the what ifs. The what could have beens. What if I had said something to him earlier, at the funeral? Why couldn't he have kissed me three months ago?
Would I have been ready?

The Ugly Truth
Constructed as an homage of sorts to the classic "opposites attract" screwball comedies of old, The Ugly Truth stars Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up, TV's Grey's Anatomy) as Abby Richter, an ambitious, Type A news producer for the local morning talk show A.M. Sacramento. Abby's uncompromising approach to news gathering is surpassed only by her uncompromising approach to dating; as a result, she's chronically single and her show's ratings are in the toilet. So when her boss insists that she take on Mike Chadway, the brash, obnoxious host of a cable-access relationship-oriented talk show as a new correspondent, Abby has little choice but to accept, despite her misgivings about Mike's unabashed chauvinism. Though ratings for A.M. Sacramento immediately spike with the addition of Mike, Abby remains unconvinced as to the efficacy of his politically incorrect (read: misogynist) dating advice. Chastened by Abby's continued skepticism, Mike makes her a wager: If she applies his tools and doesn't successfully turn around her moribund dating life, he'll quit the show. Abby agrees, initiating a sexually charged battle of wits between the two strident adversaries.
Facing off against Heigl is Gerard Butler, the man who once roared "We are Sparta!" as the infinitely badass King Leonidas in the sword-and-sandals epic 300. Unfortunately, Butler followed up the 2006 blockbuster with the weepy chick flick P.S. I Love You, then the limp action fantasy Nim's Island. And while he did manage to redeem himself as a cocky British gangster in Guy Ritchie's comeback RocknRolla, Butler takes a sad U-turn with The Ugly Truth, falling to emasculating new lows in this insipid romantic comedy. Supporting castmembers include Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm), John Michael Higgins (Yes Man, Best in Show), Bree Turner (Just My Luck) and Eric Winter (Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay).
Butler and Heigl are both tremendously charming, camera-friendly actors (no one has perfected the art of "sexily flustered" better than Heigl) and they do exhibit a fun, lively chemistry at times during The Ugly Truth. Unfortunately, they're given precious little to work with and are forced to subsist on the few morsels of quality material the script provides.
Director Robert Luketic (21, Monster-in-Law, Legally Blonde) has always been a strict adherent to the modern style-over-substance school of filmmaking, and The Ugly Truth is suitably glossy and slick. But damned if it isn't the most uninspired, unfunny, unsexy sitcom rip-off to grace theaters in recent memory. If Luketic devoted half as much time to punching up the script as he did to lovingly photographing boy toy Eric Winter, he might actually have a decent movie on his hands.
Oy, that's a tough one. The closing credits would be too obvious a choice, so let's instead go with whichever scene immediately preceded the closing credits.
Heigl gets to show off her orgasm-faking skills during a scene in which she inadvertently turns on a pair of vibrating underpants (don't ask me to explain) at a dinner with corporate execs. Interestingly enough, it's her least sexy moment in the film.
Hollywood.com rated this film 1/2 star.

We have some new kids playing in the meetings blogosphere: Welcome to the Fabulous Spellos Brothers by James Spellos of Meeting U (I've been enjoying his e-newsletter for ages now) and his bro Peter; and to MeetingsBabble (isn't that a great name?), by Eli Gorin of gMeetings. Also relatively new is the Tourism and Hospitality blog. And if you want to know what's catching the eye of the ever-vigilant UNLV hospitality prof Patti Shock, check out Stuff from Patti Shock. Be forewarned: She posts a lot.
I had high hopes for Abu Dhabi Events, but it seems to have gone fallow. But I won't give up on it. After all, the Expophile came back after a hiatus, and Rich Westerfield still (very) occasionally posts on his terrific Trade Show Marketing Report. Some of my other favorites are listed in the sidebar at the left.
Are there others out there that I haven't heard about yet? Please let me know.

Many car companies cater to kids, with designated spots where children can play video games, run around and test-drive their own vehicles.
"Bringing the kids is good bonding experience," said Stefani Kladis. "What are you gonna do? Leave them with the babysitter so you can look at cars? No, it's kid-friendly here."
Besides a rugged course for drivers 18 years and older, Jeep also set up a mini-track where toddlers could drive their own motorized Jeep Wrangler. While toddlers enjoyed their Big Wheels, the older kids waited in line to climb the rock wall.
The Family Fun Zone, located in the South Building had more to offer kids. With a wider space, radio stations like B96 set up a bags game and played word games that offered prizes for the right answers. A Blackhawks booth set up in another corner of the Fun Zone was lined up with kids waiting for a chance to play a hockey game.
But for some families, the real fun is in the cars- whether finding out if the minivan fits the whole family, or just letting kids get behind the wheel of a concept car.
"This is cool," said four-year-old Aiden Johnson, jumping into a Dodge concept car.
The 2012 Chicago Auto Show runs Friday, February 10 to Sunday, February 19 at McCormick Place, located along Lake Shore Drive at 23rd Street, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day -- except for an earlier close at 8 p.m. on February 19.
Admission is $11 for adults, $7 for children 7 to 12 years of age, and children 6 and under are free with an accompanying parent. Senior citizens 62 and older pay $7. Weekday discount vouchers ($4 off the regular adult admission) are available at area new-car dealers and from participating banks.

The floods have done something amazing to the inland Australian landscape that is perhaps only rivalled by the fabulously unique underwater landscapes that are rarely glimpsed by the landbound. It is a rare event that mostly only occurs in La Nina weather patterns: the overflowing of Lake Eyre.
And where is all this additional water coming from? Tropical cyclones, with their destructive winds, which develop over the Pacific Ocean as far away as Fiji. So out of natural disaster (as we call it because of our cities and human settlement patterns) comes a natural wonder.
Is there a better way for us to accommodate the cycles of nature within our human environments?

Manchester United 3-0 Olympiakos (Agg: 3-2) – Champions League Last 16 2nd Leg – 19th March 2014
They may struggle to go much further in the competition, but Manchester United's 3-0 Champions League win against Olympiakos has least brough some cheer to the rather gloomy Theatre of Dreams.
2-0 down from the first leg, the Red Devils were facing yet another cup exit, only for Robin Van Persie to net a hat-trick. The Dutchman netted his first from the penalty spot before making it 2-0 on half-time. However, that second vital goal came only after David De Gea had produced a superb double-save.
In the second-period, Van Persie made it 3-0 courtesy of a free-kick to earn the match ball, although the performance of old-hand Ryan Giggs was also worthy of much praise. Van Persie went off injured towards the end but even though the visitors were hardly top quality, the win lifted the spirits of the home fans.

Remember what I told you back in August? Remember what I said about Bill Hedrick? OK, so you don't? Well then, let's review the facts.
Democrats have made HUGE strides here to close the Republican registration advantage to only about 11%, which was about the same gap in the 11th District up north where Jerry McNerney won in 2006. Ken Calvert has done nothing but abuse his office to enrich himself and his big developer buddies. Meanwhile, Bill Hedrick has a long record of accomplishment that's helped real kids as a member of the Corona Norco School Board. This may explain why a number of Republicans have come out to endorse Hedrick.
Believe it or not, there really is a competitive race in the 44th District. Ken Calvert and the OC & Riverside Republican Parties may not remember the last time this race was competitive, but that doesn't change the fact that it is. The more people ask themselves what Calvert has done for them, the more they wonder why he's still in Congress. And the more they see of Bill Hedrick, the more they like.
But you know what? Campaigning isn't cheap. That's where we need to step in.
Now is the time to help Bill Hedrick win. I mean it. We have such a special opportunity this year with Democrats running so strongly nationwide. Now is the time to take this opportunity, so let's take it!

Our Organization History
Over 30 years ago, Grace Nakai coached a girl's basketball team called the Chantelles which was comprised of nineteen girls from San Francisco. Her desire to accommodate and give every girl a chance to play resulted in her decision to split the girls into two teams. With her wisdom and guidance, the San Francisco Enchantées began their girls' basketball organization to promote good sportsmanship, leadership, and most of all establish great friendships. Since 1977, the Enchantées have hosted annual tournaments through the year 2000, and is now in our 8th year of joint tournaments with the San Francisco Associates. Today, we continue to emphasize character building, discipline, and respect for one another and are proud that many generations of returning families, first as players and now as coaches and moms, have shared Grace Nakai's vision.
We are a non-profit Asian American organization with 10 teams of over 100 girls in third to twelfth grades. Since 2002, we have awarded a college scholarship to a deserving player from our senior team annually.
The Enchantées objectives and purposes are to provide a vehicle for promoting in Asian American girls and their families:
In fulfilling our objectives and purposes, we hope to strive:

Hey Everyone, thanks for checking out my page here at WordPress. I am very thankful and blessed to be able to share what God has done and is doing in my life and I hope that the thoughts I share, the links I post and the content that is added will be an encouragement to others. As you navigate around my blog I hope you notice I try to keep it simple and somewhat relevant. Here are the major themes that this blog will cover:
- Biblical Discipleship – specifically, how can you "grow" your faith. I will post discipleship content every Monday, Wednesday and Friday
- Leadership – giving practical advice to help you in whatever leadership position you might be in. Leadership post will be uploaded every Saturday and Sunday.
- Coffee – Coffee is one on my hobbies. I not only drink a lot of it, but I also have a small coffee roasting biz. So, every Thursday I hope to post something related to the subject of coffee.
- Mt. Biking & Fitness – Mt. Biking is my other hobby. I feel alive whenever I am riding my bike on a single track trail. Tuesday's will be devoted to post about Mt. Biking and fitness; I even hope to have some guess bloggers share their content as well.
Who Am I?
I am a pastor of discipleship and adult ministries at Bible Baptist Church in Traverse City. I am a Husband, Father and Pastor. I grew up in South Bend which makes me a huge Notre Dame football fan. Every year for the past 13 years I have had the opportunity to lead others on National and International mission trips – this is another joy of mine (organizing and leading mission trips).
What's With My Handle – NotTheFakePTP?
Well, to be honest I stole the "NotTheFake…" part from a radio announcer – I thought it was clever and catchy and a fun way to say "the real PTP". Anyway, PTP stands for Pastor Terry Porter. A lot of people at my church just call me PTP and I think it sticks. Now, I also want to make it clear the THE REAL LIFE can only be achieved when we are not FAKE with people. As you read, watch, or listen to the post on my blog I hope you will see that I am very transparent and open about the mistakes I've made and the life I have lived. I am not a great husband (but I love my wife); I am not a great father (but I love my kids); and I am not a great pastor (but I love my church). I am very blessed to be able to have all three a part of my life – The Real Life!
Thanks for stopping by.

LOTR Limited Edition Soundtrack Scans - Lyrics to "Aniron," "Lament for Gandalf," "The Prophecy", "May It Be"
"The music itself is truly excellent...I can't wait to see it mesh with Jackson's images. I'm particularly anxious for the "Bridge of Khazad-dum" sequence...The music is full of doom-doom-ing drums, and harsh Black Speech for the Balrog...a brief fanfare of the Fellowship Theme as Gandalf breaks the Balrog's sword...a thundering crescendo of jangling strings as the Bridge is broken and then one mournful note as Gandalf is taken over the edge, which swells into a breathtakingly sorrowful boy soprano led men's chorus as Olorin falls into the darkness... The 'special content' link is actually quite feature rich...Quicktime movies of a lengthy Enya interview, more behind the scenes footage (with some actual NEW footage) on 'Characters of Middle Earth,' 'Creating Middle Earth,' 'Middle Earth Down Under,' and 'Imagining Middle Earth.' The rest of the site is rounded out by 2 Enya/LOTR desktops, AOL Buddy Images, Email Stationary and Enya E-cards."
Thanks, Khakiass!

It's been a while since I posted anything on my blogs.
I spent Christmas in South Wales, passed my January exams, and completed some games.
Super Mario 3D World was completed with the help of my girlfriend (We've not started the bonus challenge levels yet.), I got around to finishing Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies at last. Pretty good, but I should probably skip novel-like games in the future. I also completed Dragon Quest IV on the DS which had been nearly completed for months. That was a lot of fun, the last battle was phenomenally difficult.
Anyway, it's back to studying for May exams (last ones ever!) and playing of more games in the between hours of uni/work/uni/work.
I bought Monster Hunter 4 this week so I could experience the online whilst it was still new. I'm also slowly playing through Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and Fallout: New Vegas. Time is precious! Oh, I got an ambassador New 3DS too which I've been meaning to review at some point!
