While a lot of the SMP ladies' roots are planted firmly in New England soil, mine are not, meaning weddings like this, filled with beautiful Massachusetts foliage, are my only shot at the gorgeous colors. They are so good for my soul. Love, laughter, and a beautiful fall wedding captured by Shane Godfrey Photography are my kryptonite.
From Shane Godfrey... Bob and Virginia's wedding at the Willowdale Estate in Topsfield was during the late fall which meant that we were going to get some great foliage pictures. Here in New England, it's the most beautiful time of the year. The ceremony was at Our Lady of Grace Church in Everett, Massachusetts. They went from the church to the reception site in an amazing Rolls Royce followed by photos in the courtyard and hiking trails at the Willowdale Estate. We didn't have to walk far to find the kind of setting we were looking for, foliage! The reception was beautifully decorated with signature table numbers, key's for table cards, and pumpkins on all the tables(a Halloween season inspired idea). Cinnamon Margaritas were their signature drinks! Ceremony Venue: Our Lady of Grace | Reception Venue: Willowdale Estate | Photographer: Shane Godfrey Photography | Officiant: Fr. James Barry | Floral Design: Joanne Winters | Caterer: Willowdale Estate | DJ: Vibeology

Modern French Bistro Style: 19 Chalkboards in the Kitchen
It didn't take long to round up 19 examples of chalkboard walls (and cabinets...and refrigerators...). What is a simple, humble, utilitarian accessory in so many European restaurants has become a trendy design element in American kitchens. However, just because they're everywhere doesn't mean they aren't cute.
Our number one concern whenever we see chalkboards in the kitchen is: What happens to the dust? Obviously it's no more insidious than flying flour, but somehow it seems ickier. Anyone with a chalkboard like to share the cleanup details?
1. A farmhouse kitchen - from Apartment Therapy.
2. A full wall in a small kitchen, from Cottage Living.
3. See the chalk sitting on the granite ledge? From Apartment Therapy.
4. Chalk-covered cabinet doors, from Apartment Therapy.
5. A small sliver in a very modern kitchen, from the KItchn (via Dwell).
6. Backsplash in a black and white kitchen, from our Small Cool Kitchens contest.
7. Framed chalkboard on a door, from Country Living.
8. Part of a green kitchen renovation, from the Kitchn.
9. Chalkboard and magnetic! From Apartment Therapy.
10. Kid-friendly spot on the side of the fridge, from the Kitchn.
11. Chalkboard cabinet fronts, from Re-Nest (via The Selby)
12. Integrated into a pink kitchen, from Design*Sponge.
13. Simple spot for grocery lists, from the Kitchn.
14. A great how-to on creating a chalkboard wall, from Apartment Therapy.
15. A chalkboard refrigerator, from Apartment Therapy.
16. Cool family message center, from the Kitchn.
17. Subtly matches the cabinets, from the Kitchn (via Elle Decor).
18. One more green fridge how-to, from Apartment Therapy.
19. A true restaurant-inspired recipe wall, from The Kitchn.

January 8, 2009
Contact: Jo Ann Webb
(202) 401-1576
U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings today announced the approval of three additional statesArkansas, Louisiana and New Yorkto use the Differentiated Accountability Pilot aimed at helping states develop a more nuanced system of accountability to distinguish between underperforming schools in need of dramatic interventions and those that are closer to meeting the goals of No Child Left Behind. In July 2008, the Secretary approved the first six states to use the Differentiated Accountability PilotFlorida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, and Ohio. Beginning in school year 2009-2010, a total of nine states will implement the pilot based on assessment results from the 2008-2009 school year.
Differentiated Accountability will allow states to vary the intensity and type of interventions to match the academic reasons that lead to a school's identification for improvement. In addition, some states and districts have a large percentage of their schools identified for improvement, thus impacting their capacity to provide meaningful, intensive reforms. Differentiated Accountability will assist those states by targeting resources and interventions to those schools most in need of intensive interventions and significant reform.
When choosing the three additional states, the Department used the same rigorous peer review to ensure that the selection process was fair and transparent for all participating states. Recommendations were given to Secretary Spellings, who made the final approvals. In return for this flexibility, all states participating in the pilot must commit to building their capacity for school reform; take the most significant actions for the lowest-performing schools, including addressing the issue of teacher effectiveness; and use data to determine the method of differentiation and categories of intervention.
When the pilot was first announced in March 2008, 17 states submitted a Differentiated Accountability proposal: Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. The Department submitted the proposals of all 17 states to a peer review panel of nationally recognized experts who represented a wide range of perspectives from academia to the private sector to state and local organizations.
In June 2008, the peer teams began reviews of the first state proposals submitted and held conference calls with state representatives. June 13-14, 2008, the peer panel met in Washington, D.C., to review each state's Differentiated Accountability proposal using the Department's Peer Review Guidance, which can be found at www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/daguidance.doc.
After considering the peers' comments, the Secretary approved six states to participate in the Differentiated Accountability Pilot programFlorida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland and Ohio.
In Fall 2008, the Department invited states to submit additional Differentiated Accountability proposals. Again, proposals were submitted to a peer review panel and underwent the same rigorous review.
In January 2009, the Secretary, upon recommendations from the peer review panel, approved three additional states to participate in the pilot programArkansas, Louisiana and New York.
As a condition of participation, the states must share data, participate in an evaluation and provide timely information to the Department regarding how the Differentiated Accountability model is implemented and its effects on student achievement. To learn more about the pilot program, visit: www.ed.gov/admins/lead/account/differentiatedaccountability/.

hello, Im Louise (or as some people annoyingly call me, 'Lou'), Im fifteen, and I live in England.
I've first started listening to the Smiths and Morrissey a few months ago when I bought the Queen is Dead after reading the NME article about it (yes, I buy whatever the magazines tell me to buy ).
Other music I like includes Lupen Crook, Franz Ferdinand, The Crimea, Arctic Monkeys, Mystery Jets, The Libertines and Kate Bush.
This is starting to sound like my life story (yes, I am that boring)
So.. yeah..... Hi...
(by the way, I was browsing and you all seem much nicer than the people at the morrisseysolo forums. No offence to anyone here who is a member of morrisseysolo. Unless your actually all the same people as there... )


text: This is a powerful, energetic, driving rock song. It starts with guitar riffs and continues with the rhythm guitar, bass and drums. The sound is very harsh and extreme and it is inspired to the Californian Power Rock. This song is pumping beats and heavy guitar sounds of distortion, which will lead to higher energy level. Perfect for action, extreme, sports, racing or combat video, games, movies.

"Justified" just finished a typically terrific fourth season that featured the Detroit Mafia invading Kentucky, a marriage proposal from antihero Boyd Crowder to his love Ava and Patton Oswalt playing a constable who takes it (and takes it) on the chin before turning into an unlikely hero and saving the day. In the middle of this chaos, as always, stood Timothy Olyphant's Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, laid-back and laconic, glaring and growling, one of television's most fully realized lawmen. We caught up with Olyphant recently at his Westwood home to talk about the show's evolution.
Raylan had to deal with his past this season, most notably when his dad, Arlo, died. Were you surprised that tough old bird finally bit the dust?
I remember we shot a scene [earlier] where I told him, "You're going to die in prison, it's going to happen soon and I'll be thrilled when I hear the news." And we realized as we walked away from that scene: Don't we want to see that moment? And don't we want to find out if that's really how Raylan's going to feel? You're looking for the unexpected and yet the inevitable, that moment where people would go, "They killed Arlo! Arlo's dead!" Well, of course he is. What else was going to happen?
WATCH: The Envelope Emmy Round Table | Drama
And keeping with the show, Raylan's reaction is quite muted. But you see it hits him hard.
When I first think about these things, I always think in big, operatic terms. I think, "Oh, this is going to be fantastic! Finally Raylan, who always holds everything close, is going to just break down and lose it."
Which never happens.
I know! And as much as I'm itching to play that scene where Raylan completely falls apart, it always ends up being this small thing where, if you blink, you'll miss it. That's the game we're playing: small moments of vulnerability.
And then Raylan shuts the door.
Immediately. I remember in Season 1, Boyd asks Raylan if he believes in God. And Raylan says he does. And you think, "Ooooh, this is interesting." Then the next moment, Boyd asks him to describe that God, and Raylan says, "You know: Long white beard, sitting on a throne." That's about all he's going to give you.
PHOTOS: Behind-the-scenes with 'Justified'
There's no shortage of contrasting characters, though. One standout this season was Constable Bob. Was Patton Oswalt's role envisioned as being that important to the story, or did it evolve?
Early on, we knew Patton gave us the blueprint for something special. The first day, I'm having a hard time getting through takes without cracking up, yet I was completely aware that he's playing it dead serious, giving that character a level of sadness beneath it all. And we thought, "Wow. We could really throw rocks at this guy. You can make him as cute or funny as you want, but if we put him in a spot where we can really find out what he's made of, that's where the goods will be."
Season 5 will open with Ava in jail. Are Raylan and Boyd heading to a final confrontation?
As the story comes to an end, that's the $64,000 question. That's a big monkey. Again, like with Arlo, you're looking for the unexpected yet the inevitable. I don't think we're there yet.
You were on "Ellen" recently, and she was going to give you some advice for raising your 13-year-old daughter, but we never heard it. Did she have any tips?
She had nothing for me. She said she was an absolute dream as a 13-year-old. [Laughs.] Someone told me just recently: Just watch all the John Hughes movies with your daughter. So I did. "Pretty in Pink," "Sixteen Candles," "The Breakfast Club," "Ferris Bueller." They all hold up. She liked them. And I feel like I understand a little bit more now. But just a little bit.

After surgery, Weiss, Panthers have big decisionby Alain Poupart
SUNRISE, Fla. -- Stephen Weiss admits the thought has crossed his mind.
Weiss has been a cornerstone for the Florida Panthers for a decade, but there's a possibility he has played his last game with the organization.
Scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, Weiss will undergo season-ending surgery on his right wrist in Cleveland on Tuesday.
"Yes, it has [crossed my mind]," Weiss told reporters on a conference call Wednesday morning. "It's definitely not the way I would have written it if that is the case. It kind of burns at me that this is the way it could be going out, but you know what, that's life sometimes. You've got to deal with the cards you're dealt.
"If it is the last game, it's the last game, and I hope that everyone understands why I made this decision. It's been a good ride."
Weiss made the decision to have surgery instead of continuing to try to play with a wrist injury that's been bothering him since last season.
Panthers general manager Dale Tallon announced the news Tuesday, and Weiss confirmed that it would be 12 weeks before he can start shooting pucks again.
Tallon said he wanted to wait until Weiss got healthy before discussing the possibility of a new contract, and Weiss echoed those sentiments.
"You know what? It would be awesome to finish my career here," said Weiss, whose six-year, $18.6 million contract expires July 1. "I've been here for a long time. You don't see that too often nowadays, guys staying with one team for a long time. So that would be great. But saying that, first of all, are they going to want me back? And if they do, those will be decisions that I'm going to make here at some point. I'm going to look at all the options and decide what I feel is best for me moving forward. That's about it."
Weiss said the decision to have the surgery was made as much thinking about the team as it was about his career.
A four-time 20-goal scorer, Weiss led the team in scoring three consecutive seasons before finishing second to Tomas Fleischmann in 2011-12, when the Panthers captured the Southeast Division and made the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in his career.
But Weiss struggled from the start of this season. He had one goal and three assists in 17 games and had a team-worst minus-13 rating.
"My decision to keep playing was 100-percent based on the team," Weiss said. "Last year we were in a great spot and I obviously wanted to keep playing and help the team end up doing what we did. Even this summer, I didn't want to go ahead and do anything if I didn't feel I absolutely needed to.
"And for myself, this being a big year, even though I was bothered pretty bad by it, I still wanted to keep playing and dig myself out of it. But there's only so much you can do. I've learned now if you're not able to shoot the puck and have the type of stick speed and strength that you want, you can't fake your way into this League. It's just too good. So I decided to do the surgery. I've always wanted to put the team first, but in this case I'm not helping them first of all, or myself. That's why I decided to do it."
"Yes, it has [crossed my mind]. It's definitely not the way I would have written it if that is the case. It kind of burns at me that this is the way it could be going out, but you know what, that's life sometimes. You've got to deal with the cards you're dealt."
-- Florida Panthers forward Stephen Weiss on the possibility of him testing the free agent market this summer
Weiss had surgery on the same wrist following the 2008-09 season, and had surgery on his left wrist in 2006. He said the decision to have surgery now came after meeting with a doctor Monday and having an MRI and X-rays taken.
The night before, in what may have been his last game in a Panthers uniform, Weiss got 16:37 of ice time and was kept off the score sheet in a 3-2 loss against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Weiss, the fourth pick of the 2001 NHL Draft, is hoping this latest surgery can put his wrist problems behind once and for all.
"That's why I waited this long," Weiss said. "I didn't want to have a second surgery. This is my last resort. I would have played the rest of my career with some wrist soreness or whatever as long as I felt I could compete and do the things I wanted to do. But unfortunately that's just not the case right now. What the doctors say is that if you get this done, it's going to do nothing but bring it back to 100 percent. There's something wrong that's causing this issue and there's a procedure that'll be done that'll fix it and take the stress away from what's bothering you.
"So I'm confident this is going to do nothing but help me become 100 percent and be even better moving forward."
Now, the question is whether Weiss will be moving forward with the Panthers.

When I click a button it shows an iframe(with 1 image), then when I click the button again,it loads a different iframe on the same location. This is slow. How to speed up?
When we click and load images, it shows white for a fraction of second until the image loads when images change. I used a javascript to pre-load images and that 'white time' is not visible anymore coz it is fast. How to do the same with iframes so they will load fast on each click and the loading time is almost none.

Thermaltake Xview Review
When one thinks about Thermaltake, usually the first thing to come to mind is high performance cooling. Products like the Orb Series, the Volcano 7 and 9, and the GF4 Cooler, have ranked among the best cooling products. Today we'll be looking at a product from another side of Thermaltake, something that has absolutely nothing to do with cooling, the Thermaltake Xview.
What You Get
Included in the package was:
• 1x Xview Unit
• 1x Xaser III Series Light Strip
• 1x Sound Effective Controller
• 4x 5.25" Pictures
• 4x Xaser III Series Pictures
• 4x Mounting Screws
• 1x Instructions CD
• 1x Roll of Clear Plastic for Printing Your Own Images
A Closer Look
As you can see above, the Xview is simply a light strip attached to a 5.25" bay cover. However, instead of just putting out a light, Thermaltake has added plastic picture strips that can be placed in front of the Xview to give an illuminated picture. We'll see this in just a moment. – For those that have an Xaser III case, or have seen the Xaser III cases, you know that they have and illuminated "Thermaltake" down the front Bezel. The Xview is that, but for a 5.25" bay. In fact, Thermaltake also included an extra light strip with the Xview, that can be used for the Xaser III cases. – And for those that haven't seen the Xaser III cases, a picture of one is below… or you can visit Thermaltake's Xaser III product page.
As I mentioned above, the Xview included a light strip that can be used to replace the one Xaser III, also included with the Xview are 4 preprinted images for the Xview, and 4 more for the Xaser. The Instruction CD also contains several hundred images that can be printed off and used. Here you can see the images that came with the Xview. What's up with the Llamas?
Of course, to get the thing to light up, power is needed. Here you see the controller box, and the wires that came with the Xview. If you are thinking the big silver knob is to adjust the brightness level, you wrong. Don't feel bad, it's what I thought it did at first, too. :P Actually, the knob adjust the microphone sensitivity. Yup, this thing doesn't just turn on and light up, it lights up to sound. And if your epileptic, or just want it on all the time, you can just turn it on. Both the Xview light strip and the Xaser III light strip can connect to this, that way they blink together.
As you can see, by it's self the Xview puts off a soft blue glow, and the pictures give your computer a cool personalized look. Wonder if there will be any other colors later down the road?
The Xview is defiantly unique, and not something I would have seen Thermaltake making. The images are easy to make and swap out, allowing your computer to change with the seasons. I can just imagine the woman now leaving notes on it saying, "Remember to pick up milk and bread." :)
- Easy To Install
- Bright
- Sound Activated or On/Off
- 300 Included Images or Make Your Own
- Works with the Xaser III case
- Brightness not adjustable
Big thanks to the gang at Thermaltake Technology Co. Ltd. for sending this to us for review.

Wanda Firebaugh
Race: Men
Tribe: Croatan (lost tribe)
Faction: Gobwin Knob, preceded by Faq and Haffaton; Popped in Goodminton
Class: Caster (Croakamancer)
Level: 8
Special: Dance-Fighting, Arkenpliers, Heir
Eyebook Username: Wanda
Eyebook Sound: Ploip
- 1 Proposed Canon
- 2 Speculation
- 3 Real World References
Proposed Canon
"I did not say it was a stupid idea, Lord. But the strategic advantage of equipping infantry with scary hand puppets is lost on me."
Strengths: Patience, Management, Fashion
Weaknesses: Enthusiasm, Sense of Humor, Capacity for Hope
First Appearance: TBFGK 2
Lady Wanda Firebaugh is Chief Croakamancer in the service of Lord Stanley. Before entering Stanley's service, she was popped by the side of Goodminton. Her father was Overlord Firebaugh who promoted Wanda to Heir Designate moments before the destruction of Goodminton. After that, Wanda worked first for Haffaton, and then later for the Kingdom of Faq.
She is capable of casting a wide variety of spells, including the spell that summoned Parson, but claims to dislike casting spells which are not related to croakamancy. She has a talent and a taste for interrogation and is capable at it to the point she can break a Royal's will. Wanda's ability to gain Jillian's cooperation through torture suggests that Wanda has some talent for Turnamancy, since it seems similar to the process Vanna used while turning Duncan Scone. Jillian thinks Wanda's technique is superior to Vanna's. In the past, she has also been known to use Dirtamancy to create memorial stones in honor of the croaked and once used Findamancy to recover the Arkenshoes from Olive Branch on her ruler's behalf.
Wanda sees herself (and Stanley) as "minor actors" serving a greater destiny. She believes she and the other individuals who are attuned to Arkentools have a role to play in the Titan's plans, and that no one (not even herself) can prevent this plan from happening. She does think that by supporting the Titan's plan, and not opposing it, she can reduce the amount of pain and suffering experienced by everyone involved.
Wanda is of average height for a human female from Erfworld. She has raven black hair that reach to her shoulder blades (but is frequently worn up) and white skin. Her eyes are light blue with a white sclera, but no pupil, and the eyebrows are trimmed thin. Like all Erfworld humans, she has a somewhat childlike lower body with slender hips, adequate cleavage, and an overly large head (though this might just be due to artist drawing style). She dresses only in white, red, and black, and usually has some skull motif somewhere in her clothing or accessories.
The Maze of Fate
Wanda is absolutely convinced that Marie Lavraie revealed to her some predictions about the future of Erfworld that are certain to come true. She knew that she would one day attune to an Arkentool, but did not know how this would come about. She also knew that it was the Fate of the Arkentools to be found and brought together. As a consequence, whenever she had to make a decision, she took the path which seemed to lead most directly towards the fulfilment of these Predictions. If a choice seemed likely to increase the probability that she would gain an Arkentool, she made that choice, even if it seemed horribly risky. So she conspired to bring Stanley to Faq, because it was possible that he would die in the battle, allowing her to take the Arkenhammer. When that plan resulted in the destruction of Faq, she encouraged Stanley to adopt the high risk strategy of questing for other Arkentools, because it was possible that he might find one she could attune to. The quest for Arkentools nearly led to the destruction of Gobwin Knob, so she persuaded Stanley to buy an untested, potentially dangerous, and highly expensive spell which might bring a "Perfect Warlord" to Erfworld. This spell ultimately did lead to Wanda attuning to the Arkenpliers, which reinforced Wanda's conviction that Marie Lavraie's Predictions had been true, and that her method of trying to push history in the "correct" direction does produce results. After she had obtained the Arkenpliers, Wanda made some comments to Parson which indicate that she thinks she knows some things about his future as well.
Now that Gobwin Knob's campaign to conquer Jetstone has begun, Wanda has once again started to make very dangerous choices, such as her decision to deviate from the battle plans proposed by both Ansom and Parson, and her decision to personally lead the attack on Spacerock. Given Wanda's past history, this apparent recklessness may represent an attempt to fulfill another of Marie Lavraie's Predictions. Jack Snipe has suggested that it in fact may have more to do with Queen Jillian.
A Question of Loyalties
After Wanda gained the Arkenpliers, she believed she'd found the most direct pathway to the achievement of her Fate. However, the sudden shift in her fortunes after she turned down Jillian's offer of an alliance has persuaded her that she has somehow deviated from the correct path, though she doesn't yet understand precisely how. She will need to decide whether her error was her failure to immediately croak Jillian, her failure to ally with Jillian, or if it was simply her resistance to letting Jillian see Ansom. She continued to serve Stanley after she gained an Arkentool because she believes it is the destiny of the Arkentools to come together. But the restoration of Faq means that Wanda could theoretically choose to rejoin her former side, if she decided that doing so was consistent with her Fate.
Jillian has told Wanda that it is possible for her to rejoin Faq while still fulfilling her destiny, but has not yet explained precisely how or why this is the case. (It seems likely this is related to Charlie's patronage of Faq at the time--Wanda could have turned while still following her destiny, as Charlie bears the Arkendish.) In light of her new-found uncertainly about her correct path, Wanda may try to reopen negotiations with Jillian at the first opportunity, in order to explore this option more fully.
Wanda's Wardrobe
One of Wanda's listed strengths is Fashion, so it's not surprising that she changes her raiment much more frequently than any other character. At present, Wanda wears an "outfit" comprised of ripped bandages from her Fall into the Spacerock Atrium. For a catalog of her costume, visit Wanda's Wardrobe. Note that this page is image heavy.
Wanda's Livery
Wanda's livery is a Grey, flowered skull on a black field.
The flower is not dissimilar to the ones Dame Olive Branch used to subdue Jillian and Overlady Judy Gale of Haffaton. Based on conversation between Dame Branch and Wanda, and Wanda's emaciated appearance, it can be assumed that Wanda was also subject to the effects of the flowers at some point between the fall of Goodminton and her appearance in the memory garden.
Wanda was popped as the third caster for Goodminton. Lord Firebaugh had been falsely led to believe by Goodminton's Chief Predictamancer, Delphie Temple, that Wanda would pop as a Warlord. He was initially disgusted by her school of magic and wary of magic as a whole, but came to be more open-minded as Wanda showed her incredible value.
At the time she popped, Goodminton was in a desperate situation fighting a losing battle against multiple sides at once. With the obvious tactical applications of her magic, and her open-minded curiosity, Wanda began to turn the tide of the war to her side's benefit.
Delphi has told Wanda several predictions, which Wanda has done her best to defy (thus far, successfully). Chief among these is the prediction that Olive Branch will become her Chief Caster, and that her Fate is entwined with Olive's.
At some later point, Wanda becomes affiliated with King Banhammer of the Kingdom of Faq. The circumstances leading up to this change of sides is as of yet uncertain, but Wanda met Marie Lavraie and Jack Snipe in the Magic Kingdom shortly after her success with the Air Conflict over Goodminton city, when she was level 4 (presumably).
Following Stanley the Plaid's discovery of the Arkenhammer, she attempted to acquire the Arkenhammer by arranging for Stanley to attack Faq. She claims she expected Stanley to be croaked, but her plan failed when Stanley destroyed Faq. She then changed sides, and encouraged Stanley to seek the other Arkentools. Erf-b1-p147 Since the fall of Faq. Wanda has behaved in a way that suggests she is loyal to Stanley. She obeys his commands and serves his side without being under any loyalty spells. However, this may have been only to preserve his power as a tool to aid her getting an Arkentool to attune to.
During the events described in Book One, Wanda supplemented Gobwin Knob's rather meager forces by using Croakamancy to animate fallen troops as uncroaked. In particular, all of Stanley's remaining warlords (after the death of Lord Manpower the Temporary), were uncroaked.
Wanda served as Stanley's chief adviser, being both highly intelligent and adept at persuading him to adopt her suggestions and think they were his idea all along. Most notably, she persuaded Stanley to spend the bulk of the treasury on a spell to summon a "Perfect Warlord" with the military genius to salvage Gobwin Knob's untenable situation, the casting of which summoned Parson Gotti to Erfworld.
Wanda contributions to Stanley the Plaid's war effort during this period included the practice of her "hobbies" -- torture and interrogation. After Jillian Zamussels was captured and brought to Gobwin Knob, she was subjected to torture and a magic spell (presumably some sort of Thinkamancy) and persuaded to reveal Prince Ansom's battle plans. (There is also a heavily implied sadomasochistic relationship between Wanda and Jillian, which indicates Jillian may not have been totally unwilling.) Wanda also demonstrated that she was capable of handling a wide variety of other Magic, but professed to lack real interest in any besides Croakamancy.
Wanda has recently come into ownership of the Arkenpliers and was able to 'attune' to them. According to her, it was Predicted in Faq "long ago" that this would come to pass, and that she has "wrecked and ruined" more than Parson (who, for perspective, had at the time of this comment just recently brought about the destruction of the entire Royal Coalition present at or near Gobwin Knob as well as all but a few soldiers on his own side) to ensure this would come to pass.
Wanda was able to utilize the Arkenpliers to acquire control of a large army in a single turn because she had the remarkable good fortune to attune to the Arkenpliers immediately after an army of thousands were croaked and before the bodies vanished. The fact that she acquired an Arkentool at the exact time and place where her new tool could provide her with vast power suggests that her belief that she was 'fated' to gain an Arkentool is correct.
Since she acquired the Arkenpliers, Wanda and her Decrypted Chief Warlord Ansom have defeated Unaroyal in the name of Lord Stanley. Their next target is Jetstone.
Marie Lavraie
Wanda and Marie both served King Banhammer as Casters in Faq. Marie has profoundly affected Wanda, first by Predicting that she would someday acquire an Arkentool, and later by arranging for Wanda, and Gobwin Knob, to be the recipient of the Perfect Warlord spell which summoned Parson. Marie chose to give the spell to Wanda, despite the objections of Janis, who strongly disapproves of Wanda. The fact that she survived the fall of Faq suggests that Marie may have known of Wanda's plan to lure Stanley to Faq, either because Wanda told her about the plan in advance, or because she Predicted it herself.
Sizemore Rockwell
Sizemore normally refers to Wanda as "Lady Firebaugh", and seems to respect her. He does not like having to defend her actions to the casters of the Magic Kingdom. As a caster, Wanda is probably aware of Sizemore's "Rock Star" status in the Magic Kingdom. She is at least superficially respectful toward Sizemore, but can be inconsiderate and curt, as she was when Sizemore suggested that Jillian could break Wanda's Suggestion Spell. They have a functional working relationship but do not appear to be social. In particular, Sizemore's willingness to study fields of magic he has no ability at puzzles the multitalented but specialized Wanda.
Wanda may have gained a greater appreciation of Sizemore as a result of linking with him to uncroak the Volcano. If Wanda believes that Fate requires that other members of her side attune to the other Arkentools, she may see Sizemore as a likely candidate for this role.
Jack Snipe
Jack and Wanda have known each other longer than most other units within Gobwin Knob. Both Wanda and Jack come from the Kingdom of Faq and turned to Stanley's side when he destroyed their native kingdom. While in Faq Jack and Wanda used to spend time together discussing the philosophy of magic.
One philosophical question that fascinates both Jack and Wanda is the nature of Love. Is Love a form of Natural Magic, perhaps a form of Natural Thinkamancy or Natural Hippiemancy? Jack believes that Love is a force which is far more powerful and mysterious than any form of magic. As he once told Wanda, "I suspect, love is something greater than magic itself, perhaps something even the Titans are helpless before."
Wanda and Jack's interest in this question was probably related to the fact that they were both deeply attracted to Jillian. Jack doesn't seem to have been angry or bitter that Jillian favored Wanda over him. Wanda made a point while in Faq of using Jack's full name and title, suggesting that she wished to maintain a certain degree of formality in her dealings with him.
Jack has implied that he may be aware of some of the details of Wanda's role in the fall of Faq, specifically what went on at the battle for the capital when the King was croaked.
Jack currently thinks that Wanda is a "vessel cracked worse (and repaired worse) than he," referring to Wanda's emotional and mental state, and may resent the fact that Wanda suggested allowing him to croak so that she could decrypt him. However, any concern he may have about her growing power didn't stop him from having some fun at Wanda's expense by pointing out that Jillian may now prefer Ansom over both Wanda and himself.
After Jack croaks, Wanda takes an unusually strong interest in decrypting him that seems to go beyond her usual enthusiasm for her discipline. Her interest in decrypting him stems from a contract they made with Charlie long ago, which forbade them from telling anyone Charlie's secrets, but has been broken with Jack's death. While standing over his corpse, she speaks of a game they have long played at, and wonders what they will play at next. Unlike most of the Decrypted, who call Wanda "Mistress", Jack calls her "Sister", implying that in spite of his new state, their relationship is one of equal status.
Jillian Zamussels
Wanda and Jillian have an odd, complex relationship. Fate caused Jillian to pop to help Wanda move on to the "next phase of her journey" and Wanda believes their two Fates are linked.
Jillian met Wanda when she was captured by Haffaton. At the time, Wanda was addicted to Heroine buds and required by Olive Branch to torture prisoners like Jillian in order to turn them. Wanda eventually helped Jillian to defeat Olive Branch, after gaining permission from Warlady Judy to change sides and join Faq. Jillian then saved Wanda's life, by making a deal with Charlie, who helped cure Wanda of most of the physical effects of her addiction to Heroine buds.
It is implied in Book 2 – Text Updates 010 that before the fall of FAQ Jillian and Wanda were romantically involved. They appear to still have had a romantic and very intimate relationship during the times when Jillian was captured by Gobwin Knob, but it's unclear how much of that is genuine, how much was the spell of control Wanda cast on Jillian, and whether there might be other factors involved. This relationship is implied to have originated from Faq during a flashback. It is unlikely Jillian knows that Wanda was unintentionally responsible for the destruction of her side.
When Jillian breaks free from Wanda's Suggestion Spell, Wanda absorbs the full damage from the spell's abrupt termination. It's possible that she absorbed this damage deliberately, in order to avoid harming Jillian. She asked Parson not to croak Jillian, immediately after the spell broke. Jillian for her part remained concerned for Wanda even after breaking free of Wanda's spell.
Jillian has repeatedly attempted to persuade Wanda to leave Stanley's side, once while being held captive at Gobwin Knob, again during a fly-by visit to Gobwin Knob before the Coalition attack, and yet again when they parleyed at Spacerock. Her attempts to influence Wanda was hindered by the fact that she didn't know certain critical facts about Wanda. Jillian did not know about Wanda's role in the First Battle of Faq or the prediction that Wanda would someday gain an Arkentool. Wanda did mention the Summon Perfect Warlord Spell in passing after she interrogated Jillian at Gobwin Knob, but Jillian still doesn't know many critical facts about Wanda's relationship with Parson.
While Wanda benefited during the Battle for Gobwin Knob from having secrets that Jillian didn't know, Jillian has secrets unknown to Wanda. Wanda probably did not know that Jillian had rebuilt Faq and become a Queen, until she decrypted Ossomer. She still doesn't know that Jillian's Royal Heir will pop fairly soon, or that Jillian has formed separate alliances with the Royal Crown Coalition, the Western Giants, and Charlie.
The two met up again at Battle of the Expository Bridge. Wanda believed that Jillian had come all this way for her, but Parson suggested that it might have been for Ansom. Reacting jealously, Wanda had Ansom sent off with the ground troops to prevent Jillian from seeing him. Wanda proceeded to parley with Jillian.
Jillian indicated that she was fond of Wanda, but opposed her side because she can't stand Stanley. Jillian offered to let Wanda join her and conquer the world together. Wanda initially rejected this offer, saying that she is loyal to Fate. The Arkentools are Fated to be brought together, and she needs to stay by Stanley's side to help this event occur. Jillian suggested that Wanda could still fulfill her Fate if she joined Jillian's side, but was under non-disclosure, preventing her from sharing details. Wanda indicated that she might take her up on this offer, if she could win back her trust by helping her defeat Spacerock. Jillian pretended to agree, but proceeded to force an end to Gobwin Knob's turn, placing Wanda in a dire situation.
Though unwilling to croak Wanda herself, Jillian took a great deal of satisfaction in leaving her to her apparent doom. Much to Wanda's shock, Jillian left Wanda to croak while stating that she was finally sure who she had come for: Ansom.
Wanda has since entered a strong state of cognitive dissonance. She is not quite able to acknowledge what has happened in her relationship with Jillian and reacts violently to Jack's pointed hints, but realizes that somewhere, she has made a mistake.
A few turns later, Parson cautiously asked her if she would be willing to arrange Jillian's assassination. After a moment of shock, Wanda enthusiastically agreed. She continued looking for ways to rationalize how Jillian could still love her and sought to decrypt her. However, Jillian's words eventually made it clear beyond a doubt that Ansom was the one she loves, causing Wanda to break down in tears.
Stanley the Tool
Wanda generally believes Stanley to be a fool, but does believe that he has an important fate. She was subservient and loyal to him - In fact, Wanda was probably the creature Stanley trusted and respected most in the whole Erfworld - but secretly continued to play events to bring her closer to the Pliers.
She has used nookie to manipulate Stanley. This might explain her revealing outfits.
Since Wanda's attunement to the Arkenpliers she seems to be happy to go along with Stanley's orders as long as she can play with her Pliers and her personal army. Stanley feels somewhat insecure about this new balance of power.
Wanda may be the single greatest threat to Charlie's survival, because Wanda is trying to start an ideological war. As long as War is simply a matter of different sides competing for economic resources, then most Royals will not hesitate to hire a non-Royal Mercenary like Charlie, if it seems profitable to do so. But by spreading the idea that there is an inherent ideological conflict between Royals and Units attuned to the Arkentools, Wanda is damaging Charlie's ability to persuade Royals to hire him.
Parson Gotti
Wanda has always respected Parson's tactical mind. Wanda sees Parson as another agent of Fate, and believes she knows his future well enough to be able to predict that he will suffer and take losses in future battles. The two have a good working relationship, but Parson fears her and considers her a monster.
Wanda has willingly shared some of her secrets with Parson. She does not seem concerned that he might ever use any of them against her.
It appears that after the Battle for Gobwin Knob, Wanda's respect for Parson's tactical mind has increased even more, and Ansom believes that she clears each strategy with him before acting. However, in one case, she has chosen not to follow his advice. Parson has come to lose a great deal of faith in her over her grievous errors involving Jillian.
Prince Ansom
Before Anson's death, the two were violently antagonistic. Because of his hatred for Stanley, Ansom naturally hated and despised Stanley's closest followers, including Wanda. Wanda was not only slaughtering Jetstone troops whom he badly wanted to defend, she was also defacing Jetstone's corpses, and using them to croak even more of his followers. Wanda considered Ansom to have stolen something from her that was of even greater value than the Jetstone troops she'd croaked. She may have been referring to the Arkenpliers or to Jillian or to both.
After Ansom's decryption, Ansom feels a deep love for Wanda, and hopes to gain her love in return. He resents the fact that Wanda frequently seeks Parson's advice, in part because he wants to show Wanda that she doesn't need any Warlord except him. Wanda took great pride in her ability to decrypt Ansom, and currently regards him as a very useful and loyal servant. She understands that both Parson and Ansom are talented Warlords, and tries to make the best use she can of both of their respective talents. In the final analysis, though, she feels she can make her own decisions, and so doesn't completely rely on either Parson or Ansom.
After finally being forced to accept that Jillian loves Ansom more than her, Wanda and Ansom's relationship has become tense.
Wanda's Fate
Wanda does not know her ultimate Fate, though she believes she must gather together all of the Arkentools. But if the Titans believe that their creation has outlived its usefulness, then it may be Wanda's Fate to perform the ultimate act of Naughtymancy by destroying Erfworld. Given that all of the Arkentools were used to create Erfworld, it may be that all of them are needed to destroy it as well. It may be that Marie understands Wanda's Fate, but believes, as a Predictamancer, that it is not her place to try and stop the Titan's will. It may be that Marie arranged for the Ultimate Warlord to come to Erfworld so that he might unknowingly insure that Wanda achieved her Fate.If this is the case, then she has mislead Janis by persuading her that summoning Parson will result in the end of War on Erfworld. Of course, the end of Erfworld would also mean the end of war on Erfworld, so perhaps she has not explicitly lied to Janis.
Other Speculation
Wanda informed Parson after the Battle of Gobwin Knob that her real loyalty is not to Stanley, but to Fate. The question is, what does she believe it is her fate to do?
Wanda knew that she was fated to one day attune to an Arkentool, but did not know which Tool it would be, or exactly how this would be accomplished. This suggests she has not been in direct contact with Marie Lavraie. However, now that at least part of her Prediction has been achieved, she may try to seek out further contact with her.
Her willingness to continue working with Stanley, even though she now has an Arkentool of her own, suggests her future goals require at least two Arkentools. It's possible that she will try to acquire other Arkentools for other members of her side, such as Sizemore, Jack, or Maggie.
Many believe that Wanda looks eerily similar to Ashna.
Real World References
Her name is a pun on "wand of fireball", a fairly common magic item in "Dungeons & Dragons" and other fantasy games.
Depending on pronunciation, her last name also becomes "firebug", a slang term meaning someone who relishes causing destruction, especially through the usage of fire. A very prophetic last name indeed, given the pivotal role she plays in the Volcano Uncroaking.
Croatan tribe that Wanda hails from really existed and is really lost.
It was pointed out that a company named Zhejiang Wanda Tools Co. Ltd specializes in making pliers.
Her name has been used as a reference to the film, A Fish Called Wanda; however, there are no obvious parallels between the movie (the fish Wanda or the character Wanda Gershwitz) and Wanda Firebaugh. Some have speculated that the death of the fish called Wanda at the hands of Jillian Zamussels may be foreshadowing a similar fate for Wanda.

Cats can be particularly picky eaters – eating food one day and ignoring it the next, or refusing to eat a new food. Some veterinarians recommend that you switch foods a couple times a year to keep cats healthy, but what if your cat won't eat it?
For healthy functioning, cats must consume a steady diet of protein, so it's important to find ways for your picky eater to get the right nutrition. It's especially important for kittens -- they need 2-3 times as much food per pound of body weight as adult cats! Try the following ideas to encourage your cat to eat their food.
Cats can be very sensitive about the flavor, temperature, and texture of their food. Cats prefer warm, soft pieces of food in general, but individual cats have their own flavor preferences. Foods they ate as kittens may predispose cats for certain kinds of food preferences later on in life. If you've tried the tips above, you may need to try a new kind of food (like switching from beef to chicken), or make the food you have more appetizing.
Eventually, you'll find a solution for your cat that you can use whenever you switch foods. With these tips, you should find a way to make food more appetizing and everyone happier.

CSX Transportation
CSX Transportation is a U.S. Class I railroad serving major markets in the eastern United States with a rail network of 21,000 route miles in 23 states, the District of Columbia, and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec.The company has more than 31,000 employees and provides rail-based transportation services including traditional rail service and the transport of intermodal containers and trailers. The company reported 2013 revenue of $12 billion, up 2.2 percent year-over-year. The railroad also reported a net income of $1.86 billion, consistent with the previous year's net income which was also $1.86 billion.
The Jacksonville, Florida-based railroad was formed in 1986 through the merger of the Chessie System (parent of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and the Western Maryland Railway) and the Seaboard System Railroad Inc. (parent of Louisville & Nashville, Seaboard Coast Line, and Clinchfield).

GV Now
Congressman greets veterans in GVSU police academy
Posted on July 29, 2013
U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga greeted students who are taking part in the
Military Police Basic Training Program at Grand Valley State
University. The congressman addressed the group during a scheduled
class July 29 on the Allendale Campus, thanking them for their service.
"I appreciate your service and want to thank you and your families for all you have gone through," Huizenga told the students. "Thank you for already serving your country and for wanting to continue to serve."
Huizenga said he carries a challenge coin he received from a Marine wherever he goes to remind him of the sacrifice made by those serving in the military. He shared that his father is a disabled World War II veteran.
Grand Valley was selected in March as the first site in Michigan to launch a new law enforcement training program designed to draw upon and focus on the talents of military veterans. The Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards selected Grand Valley for the Military Police Basic Training Program; only 10 states provide military police veterans with a formal training academy that allows for a smooth transition into civilian law enforcement.
Military police veterans who meet the eligibility requirements for the program participate in a six-week training program, and at the conclusion are able to apply for employment at law enforcement agencies.

On-going protests over the decision to limit the flying of the Union Jack over Belfast's City Hall to only 17 days a year are beginning to become costly as well as affect both the retail and tourism trades within the area.
The Belfast Telegraph reports on the protests, which organizers have vowed to not slow down. The protests have already cost the Northern Ireland government an estimated £11m ($18m).
Sources told The Belfast Telegraph that policing the protests has already exceeded £3m, while economist John Simpson estimates that local businesses have lost £8m.
A source close to the loyalist protesters said, "The feeling hasn't changed. When the flag goes up the protests stop."
Indeed, the protests will be continuing, with a big march scheduled for this coming Saturday. Protesters are planning to march from four separate locations across Belfast to converge on the City Hall at 1pm. Another demonstration is scheduled for January 20th.
Bob McCoubrey, owner of the Mourne Seafood Bar in Belfast and Dundrum, said the local economy cannot sustain any further disruption caused by the protests.
"If protesters are planning to converge on Belfast on Saturday, it's not only bad news for retailers in the city centre but it also puts a massive question mark over Saturday evening trade as well," said McCoubrey.
"We live in a competitive world and we cannot afford this anymore," added McCoubrey.
"Northern Ireland needs to appeal to tourists, but if you were in London, Cardiff or Glasgow and thinking about a weekend away, you would certainly think twice about going to Belfast after seeing the news recently."
Economist John Simpsons added that "We'll be paying for this for the next two to three years until we get away from being seen as an unstable destination."
"Our reputation for having reached peace and stability has been thrown into question by recent events as far as the rest of the world is concerned."
Some sources have said that an agreement to permanently fly the Union Jack at the Cenotaph in the Garden of Remembrance could help calm the brewing tensions in and around Belfast.
However, until an agreement is reached, loyalists are vowing to march not only in Belfast, but now Dublin as well. Victims campaigner Willie Frazer said that protesters are offended by the tricolor flag and want it removed from the Houses of the Oireachtas at Leinster House.

Hi! Can anyone tell me the differences between coil springs from a 327 2 Door Sedan vs a 327 Convertible with A/C? Looking on eBay they say there isn't a difference and at the parts store they have 2 different part numbers...looking for some help to point me in the right direction of what I need to look for/be aware of.Thanks y'all!

Bjcaines welcome to CHP.I'm going to give it to the easy way.1.Your convertible weights more, then your coupe so you need more front coild spring, and a thicker front sway bar, to help control body roll.2.Your coupe maybe a little lighter, and it will also take a different coil spring. The sway bar is also thicker.3.On any sway bar you decide to use, purchase and install polyurethane bushing's to stiffen the nice Heavy Duty sway bar kit you purchased. (Just some FYI I noticed on the kits I've installed the poly bushings squeak). Here is wath I do to help eliminate the suqeak.1.The mating surface the bushing will sit in I take a dremel tool with a small wire wheel attached. Now remove all the paint from the painted surface. Then clean the remaining paint with Laquer thinner even acetone from finger nail polish. Now when you install all the pieces together use a little Moly Grease on all the mating the surface surfaces the bushing come in contact with. That should stop the squeeking sound. Just my 2 cents Hope this helps.Bob
BjcainesOne other thing when you have a suspension that is evenly weighted its a more comforable car to drive. It corners nice, very little body roll, the sway bar and coils are controlling that. The shock is controlling your ride its nice and smooth. A package that has a tuned suspension thats the company I would buy from. Purchase a complete parkage from one Company only. This way their packages will be matched to your car specs....
Thanks everyone (this is Bjcaines, via my dad's login!)I have a question regarding the sway bar thickness...where can I find the specs for the OE and figure my options for that route - that's a good point pepsi!We bought the car last fall so now we're getting spring fever but we need her standing tall for the season!

SAPS - Komatipoort
This delightful camp is situated on the banks of the Mashokwe spruit approximately 40 km south west of Shingwedzi in the beautiful northern Mopane/Woodland savannah of the Kruger National Park. Named after the majestic eagle, Bateleur, being the oldest and the smallest of the bushveld camps, offers a unique atmosphere and superb game viewing. One of the many features Bateleur offers is a game-viewing hide that overlooks a waterhole just outside the camp. Two dams, Silwervis and Rooibosrand, are within close range of the camp and are restricted to the residents of Bateleur - good to know as there will never be a traffic jam even if the camp is full.

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure for correcting and reconstructing the form, restoring the functions, and aesthetically enhancing the nose by resolving nasal trauma (blunt, penetrating, blast), congenital defect, respiratory impediment, or a failed primary rhinoplasty. Most patients ask to remove a bump, narrow nostril width, change the angle between the nose and the mouth, as well as correct injuries, birth defects, or other problems that affect breathing, such as deviated nasal septum or a sinus condition.
Everyone is welcome in our South east london Rhinoplasty clinic.
Revision rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure also called cosmetic surgery designed to repair both form and function of a nose that has previously been operated on. Many people have difficult breathing from their nose or are dissatisfied with the cosmetic appearance of their nose as a result of prior nasal surgery. Revision rhinoplasty can address complications or undesired results following an initial nose job. The procedure typically involves harvesting cartilage from the nasal septum or the ear to correct the defect. The unpredictability of secondary scar healing may make revision Rhinoplasty a more complex procedure than the first one.
As the central feature of the face, the nose can determine your overall look. If you feel it's not in proportion with the rest of your features, or you're unhappy with the shape or position of it, Nose Reshaping surgery (also known as a "nose job") can help.
It can be hard to be completely confident when you're not happy with a particular facial feature. If the appearance of your nose is getting you down, we would be happy to talk you through your options.
