In partnership with Sustainability and DTD-Ride Reduction Program, Clackamas County Wellness has several resources to help you reach work by means other than a single occupancy vehicle.
- Commuter internal website
- Transit Assistance Program
- Emergency Ride Home Voucher
- Bike It! Map
- Commuter Challenge
- Drive Less. Connect.
- Join the May Bike More Challenge Clackamas County Team
Commuter Internal Website
Clackamas County Transportation has produced an internal website with information and links about your commuting options as well as a carpool matching program to link you up with other Clackamas County carpoolers. Informational topics include carpooling resources, vanpooling resources, walking and biking maps, commuter challenge, transit pass pilot program and the emergency ride home voucher. The Commuter Internal Website is accessible from your Clackamas County workplace computer. From the internal mainpage, simply scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the link that says "Commute Options" on the right side of the screen.
Transit Assistance Program
Clackamas County will pay half of the cost of a monthly all-zone Tri Met pass or the option of one or two 10-ticket books of two-hour tickets. Employees will pay their portion through a pre-tax payroll deduction. Participating employees must complete a payroll deduction authorization form prior to participating in the program. Employees may begin or end their participation in the program at any time by submitting a completed cancellation form with a minimum of six weeks advance notice.
- Transit Assistance Program (EPP 57)
- Transit Pass Request and Payroll Deduction Form
- Transit Pass Cancellation Form
Emergency Ride Home Voucher
One of the barriers to alternative commuting is wondering whether you can get home in an emergency. Not to worry! TriMet provides a taxi ride home for alternative commuters with emergencies who live and work in the TriMet service district. You may check the TriMet Website to determine if you live in the service district. See the rules for specifics.
Bike It! Map
Do you bike around town? Are you considering commuting by bike to work? The Department of Transportation and Development (DTD) has a great bike map available.
Commuter Challenge
Every summer Clackamas County sponsors the Commuter Challenge to inspire, encourage and reward getting to work by means other than a single occupancy vehicle. Prizes include gift certificates, so it is well worth the effort to walk, bike, skate, carpool, or take public transit to work.
- Commuter Challenge Flyer 2016
- Commuter Challenge 2016 Participant Data
- Commuter Challenge Emissions Reduction 2016
Drive Less. Connect.
This program seeks to raise public awareness about the benefits of driving less through trip chaining, carpooling, vanpooling, ridesharing, riding transit, telecommuting and biking and/or walking. Through the Drive Less. Connect. program employees can extend their search for carpool matches beyond the County employee program. Drive Less. Connect. offers trip planning and a rewards program with on-going prizes and coupons.
Join the May Bike More Challenge Clackamas County Team
May is National Bike Month and time for the bike commute challenge, an annual month-long event organized by the Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA). The Bike More Challenge is free, fun, easy and you can win great BTA prizes, including gear, restaurant and coffee shop gift cards, bike accessories and more!
If you are interested in joining the Clackamas County team and helping to grow bicycling in Clackamas County please register. At the home page click the "Register" tab and follow the step by step instructions. A Clackamas County team has already been created so look for the county logo!
Apart from the health and environmental benefits, bicycling saves money and is a great way to start the work day. Everyone who registers for the Bike More Challenge will receive a cool bicycle light. As an added incentive, for each week you log at least one bike commute during the month of May you will earn one ($2) Farm Token redeemable at the Oregon City Saturday Farmers Market or the Thursday DSB Farm Stand. And, lastly, the person who logs the most miles will receive a secret grand prize to be revealed at the end of May!
The Bike More Challenge is a great way to prepare and get in shape for the annual county Commuter Challenge. So, why not give bicycle commuting a try this spring! For more information contact Scott Hoelscher, DTD Planning at 503-742-4524.

Fenodyree (also phynodderee, phynnodderee, fynnoderee or fenoderee) (pronunciation: fŭn-ṓ-đŭr-ĭ or fŭn-ṓđ-rĭ;[1] funótheree;[2] etymology: Manx: fynney "hair, fur" + Manx: oashyree "stockings" (Cregeen's dict.;[3] Rhys suggests influenced by a cognate of Swedish: fjun "down"[4])) is sometimes used as a proper name and sometimes as the name of a class of beings, the latter of which is a hairy little creature, a sort of sprite or fairy (Manx: ferrishyn)[5] in the folklore around the Isle of Man.
He can be a helpful creature (see examples), comparable to the Scottish brownie,[5] performing arduous tasks, such as transporting great blocks of white stone (marble?) too heavy for men to lift or, clipping the grass from the meadow with stupendous speed. For his talent in the latter skill, he has earned the nickname yn foldyr gastey or "the nimble mower",[5] and is sung in a Manx ballad by that very title.[6]
He is covered with copious body hair, particularly around the legs, and is glossed as being a "satyr",[3] though smaller in stature. He frolicks thus without wearing any clothing.[7] In fact, when a gift of clothing was made to him, he recited a strain in Manx stating that caps and so forth are nothing but discomfort, and it caused him to balefully depart from the area (see #Stone mover example of the tale). In one version of the tale, the clothing was not good enough and the fenodyree left in a huff;[citation needed] in another, it transpired that the brownie believed clothing unhealthy and a cause of disease so, again, left in a huff.[citation needed]
It seems that a bit of leftover food was all he asked in recompense. In a ballad recited by a woman, it is told that "His was the wizard hand that toil'd / At midnight's witching hour / That gather'd the sheep from the coming storm", and all he required were "scattered sheafs" and "cream-bowl" left on the meal table.[8] Besides herding animals as just mentioned, reaping and threshing may be added to the list of chores he performs.[citation needed]
Usage and tales[edit]
Fenodyree is in fact the term used for "satyr" in the 1819 Manx version of the Bible (Isaiah 34:14;[3] more modern English versions translate "satyr" as "wild goat").[9]
Fallen fairy knight[edit]
One tale alleges the Phynnodderee was once a fairy (sing. Manx: ferrish; pl. ferrishyn), a Knight of the Fairy Court, whose was changed into a grotesque satyr-like appearance as punishment for falling in love with a human girl, and thus skipping out on the royal high festivities of the harvest (Rehollys vooar yn ouyr, lit. "Great Harvest Moonlight"[10]), held by his own kind at Glen Rushen.[11]
Nimble mower[edit]
There is an anecdote regarding a round meadow in the parish of Marown, that there once was a Phynnodderee who was wont to cut and gather the meadow grass (with the scythe), until a farmer criticized the job for not mowing the grass close enough to ground. The hairy one abandoned the work for the farmer to labor over for himself, and "went after him stubbing up the roots so fast that it was with difficulty the farmer escaped having his legs cut off by the angry sprite". No one afterwards could succeed in mowing this meadow till a knight devised the way to start in the middle and cut around in circular pattern.[12][13]
Stone mover[edit]
Another tale describes how a gentleman wanting to build a large house "a little above the base of Snafield mountain, at a place called Tholt-e-Will or 'Will's Barn' (orig. spelt Sholt-e-will)"[12][14] The quarry of rocks, including an enormous block of white stone for the building of this edifice were at the shore, but to the great surprise of all, were transported in one night by a phynnodderee. But when the gentleman left a set of clothing as recompense, the hairy one declares "Bayrn da'n chone, dy doogh da'n choine. ('Cap for the head, alas, poor head/ Coat for the back, alas, poor back/ Breeches for the breech, alas, poor breech. / If these be all thine, thine cannot be the merry Glen of Rushen'.)" This giving of the gift unwittingly worked as a charm to expel him from the area (thus Campbell says "he was frightened away by a gift of clothes"[15]). So the hairy one departs in a "melancholy wail", declaring that his voice can thenceforth be heard in the whistling winds of the mountains, mourning the loss of his Fairy Bower.[16]
Campbell[15] sees a Scottish analogue in the "Skipness long-haired Gruagach... frightened away by the offer of a coat and a cap". The tale of the Irish phouka recorded by Lady Wilde also carries a merrier version of this motif.

However with a win tonight the Rangers can continue to look ahead of them rather than behind them. Avery...

I have noticed something weird about joysticks: On our computer, one will dominate the other, becoming the 'main' controller and pushing the other back to 'second' controller. This happens no matter what order we plug them in. My question is, "why?"
Method 3: Configure your game controller as the preferred deviceTo configure your game controller as the preferred device, follow these steps: 1. In Control Panel, open Game Controllers. To do this, use one of the following methods: * In Windows Vista, click Start, type joy.cpl in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. * In Windows XP and in earlier versions of Windows, click Start, click Run, type joy.cpl, and then click OK. 2. Click Advanced. 3. Under Preferred device, select the game controller that you want to use. 4. Click OK two times.

Posted: May 24th, 2012 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
ScreenDaily sat down with director Lee Daniels, who is promoting "The Paperboy" at the Cannes Film Festival. Daniels revealed that he has cast Minka Kelly (The Roommate) to play Jackie Kennedy in his next film, called "The Butler," which already stars Matthew McConaughey as John F Kennedy.
The story revolves around a White House butler, Eugene Allen (Forest Whitaker), who served eight American Presidents over the course of three decades. "
It is ultimately a father son story with a civil rights backdrop,
" said the helmer.
The rest of the cast includes Oprah Winfrey as Allen's wife, John Cusack as Richard Nixon, Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan, Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan, and Cuba Gooding Jr, David Oyelowo, Lenny Kravitz and Terrence Howard. The plan is to begin filming on July 16th.

Look closely, and you'll see the new talk of the town.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority's employees all wear a pin that says "Las Vegas" on their lapels. For years, the "Las Vegas" was in cursive. Recently, the authority released a new version of the pin in a blocked style reminiscent of how Las Vegas is written in other travel board marketing materials.
The pins themselves are famous. People ask all the time how to get one or where to buy one, but you can't. The only way to get one is to become employed by the convention authority.

Sorry diving aficionados, but DEMA won't be back in Las Vegas this year.
No, the annual Diving Equipment Manufacturing Association show is to be in Orlando, Fla., from Nov. 6-9 at the Orange County Convention Center. In 2012, it was at the Las Vegas Convention Center, complete with mermaids, underwater jewels and local dive companies in attendance.
The show last year brought about 12,000 people and 650 exhibitors. The industry-only trade show alternates between Orlando and Las Vegas every other year, and has plans to be in Las Vegas at least through 2016.
So don't fret. It'll be back in 2014.

Expect more Crazy Pitas to come.
Crazy Pita Restaurant Group has plans to open three restaurant locations in Southern Nevada, in addition to its 6-year-old store at The District at Green Valley Ranch.
The eatery specializes in fresh casual Mediterranean food. Owner Mehdi Zarhloul said the new locations will be inside Town Square, the Fashion Show mall and the Shops at Summerlin once the latter opens.

Tropical Smoothie Cafe's on a roll.
Soon, seven locations will open, adding to the brand's Southern Nevada portfolio. The first in the set will open in Pahrump at 1541 E. Highway 372.
The additional stores planned to open in 2013 are: two in North Las Vegas featuring drive-thrus; one on Bonanza and Pecos roads; and three in Henderson. On June 1 a Tropical Smoothie opened inside the Stratosphere, marking the company's 22nd Nevada location.
"When I opened the first store locally in Henderson 12 years ago, my sights were set for success, but at that time I couldn't have dreamed that we would have grown to nearly 30 locations by the end of 2013," said Dina Mitchell, Tropical Smoothie Café area developer and marketing director for Nevada. "It is worth repeating that much of the success comes from the hard work of the franchisees and their employees, along with our very loyal customers."
The company now has three Strip locations.

Summer is nearly here and those afternoons stretching into warm nights mean one thing: it's the season of the perfect gin and tonic.
For Neil Catherall, distiller of Lighthouse Gin from Greytown, his lifelong love of gin has led to an interesting retirement. The distillery was started in 2005 and the first release of Lighthouse Gin was in 2009. Neil put his commercial background to good use, designing the 200L copper still himself, before it was built by an engineering team in Masterton. With some experimentation, they settled on the final secret formula, but are happy to share that each batch is made by hand, double distilled then hand-bottled and labelled.
Whilst gin is a spirit that doesn't require any ageing, time was well spent in crafting the perfect blend of botanicals to make the ideal New Zealand gin. The key ingredient of juniper is imported from Eastern Europe (it doesn't grow in New Zealand), but using the fresh zest of Gisborne navel oranges and Yen Ben lemons, as well as the native herb kawakawa, gives Lighthouse a distinctive flavour profile.
The fresh zest lifts the gin's citrus notes, while kawakawa gives a subtle, peppery dry finish. The result is a clean, smooth and delicate taste with well-balanced citrus, herbal and spicy characteristics. For Neil, the perfect way to drink Lighthouse is in a very dry martini, with what he calls a "reference to vermouth and lemon zest instead of olives" about 5pm each day, regardless of the weather or season. We agree, it's a pretty stunning martini gin, but it's nearly summer and we're talking about gin and tonic.
That's where Alex Gledhill comes to the party. He's the 23-year-old wunderkind behind Quina-Fina (pronounced keen-a feen-a), a New Zealand-made tonic water. He was working at Glengarrys in Wellington, when the idea of crafting his own tonic struck.
Curiosity led him to Ecuador on a fact-finding mission to discover the how, why and what of making tonic water. His conversations with various local botanists, priests and government officials finally resulted in a supply of quinine extract from the cinchona tree and production could begin.
Getting the finish right is extremely important for tonic water, or a mixer of any kind. It has to be dry enough so that the botanicals of the gin are in no danger of being overpowered. Alex says the Lighthouse Gin is his favourite match for the Quina-Fina, and we don't disagree. We tried it with a slice of lemon, or with a juicy navel orange slice for those with a slightly sweeter preference. Alex also likes to drink Quina-Fina with just a wedge of lime in the neck of the bottle, like a Mexican beer (we tried this too, and went from skeptic to believers).
This is a summer pairing worth indulging in.
Where to buy:
Get quina fina - Glengarrys, Nosh, $2.50
Get Lighthouse Gin - Glengarrys, Super Liquor $52

State Police to review policies after delay in disclosing trooper was in double fatal accident
FRAMINGHAM—A Massachusetts State Police trooper, charged with drunken driving in a Plymouth crash that killed a mother and daughter Sept. 22, was suspended without pay indefinitely today.
John J. Basler, 25, of Kingston will also be investigated by the department's internal affairs section, State Police said after a closed-door duty status hearing was held for Basler at State Police headquarters.
Basler, who has been hospitalized since the crash, did not attend the hearing. His attorney declined comment afterwards.
According to Plymouth police, Basler was driving drunk when his vehicle collided head-on with a vehicle carrying Susan Macchi, 64, and her daughter, Juliet, 23, both of Carver.
A funeral Mass will be said Thursday for Susan Macchi at the Church of St. Clare in Braintree, according to the Russell Peck Funeral Home, which is handling services. A separate service will be held for Juliet at a later date, according to the funeral home.
Basler has not yet been arraigned, but Plymouth Police Chief Michael Botieri said Basler is currently charged with operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, and carrying a firearm while under the influence of liquor.
State Police said in the statement that their crash reconstruction team was still analyzing the incident and, when the team's report was complete, it would be submitted to Plymouth police and Plymouth District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz's office, "who will determine if additional criminal charges are warranted."
Also today, State Police said they were reviewing their procedures for disclosing when troopers are involved in major car crashes and other incidents after it took several days for them to acknowledge that Basler had been involved in the crash.
The department has a history of disclosing when members are accused of crimes and may now extend that policy to announcing the involvement of troopers even before they face criminal charges, said State Police spokesman David Procopio.
State Police didn't disclose his involvement until Plymouth police announced on Saturday they were charging him. Procopio said the command staff on the State Police knew within a few hours after the crash that a trooper was involved.
Procopio said State Police recognized the public might have questions about the delay.
"We are cognizant that there is a public question to whether we should have done that," he said. "That question is not lost on us. Perhaps we should have been more proactive in announcing that. Perhaps the public perception is correct — we should have been more prompt in putting that information out."
Asked why the public was not notified sooner that a trooper was involved in the accident, Botieri, the Plymouth chief, said "it appeared to be an accident" initially.
"I don't see why [Basler's job] would be released" sooner, in light of the circumstances, including the fact that Balser was off duty at the time of the crash, Botieri said.
Asked if Basler appeared to be intoxicated at the scene, the chief said, "we didn't have any reason to believe he was at the time of the accident."
He declined to discuss details about why Basler was ultimately charged with drunken driving, but said more information will be available in court records.
An employee in Plymouth District Court clerk's office said this afternoon that records in Basler's case were not yet publicly available, since the office was still processing them.
An arraignment date has not been set, the employee said.
Botieri said the investigation is ongoing and additional charges are possible.
Basler was off duty at the time of the crash. Procopio said troopers are not required by the department to carry a firearm when off-duty but are legally permitted to do so. He said Basler's firearm, badge, and marked police cruiser were seized by commanders after criminal charges were brought against him.
According to the Registry of Motor Vehicles, Basler's driver's license was suspended because of his involvement in a fatal car crash.
Basler joined the department in 2012 and was assigned to the Troop H-7 barracks in Milton.

Human Meets Vampire
Yes, this part of the story has sex in it. And thanks to everyone who has continued to read the story, even the parts that were not sensual in nature. Hope you enjoy this next part.
"It took me four days to dig myself out of the bunker," Stealth said quietly. His head hung down in defeat as he told his story, but now he raised his head to look at Requiem.
Ethereal sat enthralled by all of this. She knew that vampires often had companions but she had never known of one to get killed before. His sorrow was almost a tangible thing inside the room. Her heart went out to the vampire, but for now her head was spinning with all the information he had just given. What was up with these lycans he was talking about? Lycans didn't come in half human and half animal form. They were either the form of their wereanimal or human. There was no in between. And she wasn't even gonna get started on guessing about the funny tasting blood. She didn't have a clue where that came from.
"You are welcome here," Requiem said to the other vampire. "You also have permission to feed from anyone who is willingly. I would offer you my own companion but I do not have one." Ethereal snorted at that. She honestly didn't know where he got his blood from. She had never seen him with any other human save for herself and he certainly hadn't taken her up on any of her offers to be his donor.
Her unladylike snort caused Stealth to turn in his chair. "Oh, my apologies, I forgot I was in the presence of a lady." With that he got up from his chair and glided over to where Ethereal was sitting. He took her hand in his own. She held her breath as his lips brushed against the back of her hand. The minor contact sent a shiver of pleasure down her spine.
"We have not been formally introduced. I am the vampire Stealth of the House of the Red Moon." He bowed at the waist.
Ethereal sat there stunned for a second before recovering enough to stammer, "Ethereal. My name is Ethereal Oscurita." She was acutely aware of the fact that he still held her hand in his.
Stealth raised an eyebrow. "That's a very beautiful name," he said. "Is it truly yours?"
Ethereal gave him a quizzical look. Requiem laughed, saying, "No, no, it's her name. I have no claim over her. I just protect her careless ass."
She blushed as she realized what it was that Stealth had been asking. "Damn straight you don't." Ethereal gave Requiem an angered look before turning her attention back to Stealth.
"Ah, I see," Stealth said. "My apologies. I thought perhaps that you and he…" his voice trailed off.
"Hardly," Ethereal said as Stealth released her hand. "And I've offered," she said under her breath with a trace of annoyance. Oh, she had offered alright. At one point she had wanted to be his companion more than anything else in the world. Unfortunately, he was determined to keep her out of the vampiric world for as long as he possibly could. Until now, that is.
Stealth returned to his seat as Requiem asked, "Now what about the blood? You said it was distinctively bitter and that the men smelled of human and vampiric blood?"
Stealth nodded his head. "Yes. And some of them were unusually strong. Not as strong or fast as a vampire, but more so than a regular human. Their heartbeats were slower and quiet, like a vampire. And I think I know why."
"What? Feeding on vampire blood? That's suppose to be illegal." Requiem pushed a button on his intercom.
"That's what I thought, initially. But I don't think they are just ingesting it. The contact high and increased strength and stamina does not last very long, usually half an hour at most. Even if they ingested it right when they got there, they should have been crashing around me like flies in a bug zapper. But yet they persisted. And then there are those lycan hybrids." Stealth shook his head. "I don't even know where to start with those things."
Ethereal stifled a yawn. This whole thing was extremely interesting but she was beginning to feel worn down. Requiem noticed her drooping eyelids and got up from his desk. "We can finish this conversation in the evening. My apologies for keeping you, Stealth." The door opened and his private maid came in. "Annette will show you to your chambers. If you would like some refreshment then let Annette know. She will bring you whatever you need." Requiem moved to Ethereal, offering her his arm as the four of them walked out of the study and down the hall.
Requiem stopped when he reached Ethereal's room, kissing her lightly on the cheek before bidding her good night. She waited until he was gone before slipping out of her room and moving as quickly and quietly as possible. It only took her a few minutes to catch up with Stealth and Annette. She kept as much distance between herself and the vampire as possible. She didn't want him to know she was there, but she especially didn't want Annette running to rat her out to Requiem. Ethereal hid in a nearby closet as Annette took leave of Stealth, her footsteps growing fainter as she moved further away.
"You can come out now." The voice was so soft that it was barely audible, but Ethereal was caught off guard none the less. Her heart leaped into her throat as the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end as she became aware of a presence behind her. She turned slowly to see Stealth standing directly behind her, his breath caressing her skin.
Ethereal's face flushed a deep pink. Now that she had been caught, she wasn't really sure what to say. She almost sighed in relief when Stealth asked her, "Would you like to come in?" He held his hand out, gesturing towards the open door to his rooms.
Ethereal nodded her head, hurrying inside and sitting down in the first chair she came across. "To what do I owe this pleasant surprise, Miss Oscurita?" Stealth took the seat opposite her.
Ethereal wasn't really sure why she had followed them. Well, that wasn't entirely true. She did have a reason for seeking him out, but now sitting here in front of him, she felt incredibly idiotic.
She took a deep breath to steady her nerves. "I'm not sure exactly," she stated. Stealth raised an eyebrow to this reply. "Oh, alright, so I do know why, it's just that…..I….well…."
Exasperated, Ethereal threw her hands up and began pacing the room. Stealth sat quietly through the whole thing. Finally Ethereal sat back down. "Listen," she said, looking Stealth in the eye. Immediately she began to feel dizzy, her mind feeling like it had been engulfed in a hazy fog. Her breathing and heartbeat slowed considerably until they were both in tune with Stealth's own vitals. She blinked slowly, hearing his heart beating rhythmically in her ears. Ethereal felt as if she were slowly falling….
In the next instant Ethereal slammed back into her senses. Stealth was kneeling in front of her on the floor, his hands on her shoulders. She shook her head slightly, pushing her hair out of her face. She looked at him questioningly, but Stealth quickly averted his eyes from her.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to glamorize you," he apologized.
Ethereal shook her head again, trying to clear the cobwebs from her fuzzy brain. "Is that what happened?" she asked more to herself than anyone. She smiled at him, noticing that he would not look her directly in the eyes. Ethereal laughed slightly as Stealth settled back into his chair. "Normally vampire glamour doesn't work on me," she said. "Sometimes I'll feel a little woozy when I first meet them, but that's about it."
Stealth returned her smile. "You are part fey?" It was really a statement of observation more than a question.
Ethereal nodded, momentarily forgetting that vampires not just loved the taste of fey blood, but revered it above all other types.
"I thought that's what the smell was."
Ethereal's brow furrowed. "Excuse me?"
Stealth laughed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that as an insult. Humans smell earthy, like the forest after it rains. Fey have a slight floral undertone to the earthy scent, especially the fairy. Sprites and elves smell less earthy and more like fresh lawn clippings with the floral notes. Your scent is very slight, but it's there none the less. I'm guessing you had one full blooded human parent and the other was of mixed fey heritage."
Ethereal nodded her head slowly. "Yes, my mother was human, my father half fairy and half elf. That's amazing that you know that just from, well, sniffing me." She grinned at him, letting him know that she had not taken offense at his explanations.
"I'm sorry to have barged in on you like this. I wanted to…clear the air, so to speak…about myself and Requiem."
Again that eyebrow shot upwards. "It's none of my business, Miss Oscurita."
Ethereal rolled her eyes. "Ethereal, please call me Ethereal, or Ethy if you want. Miss Oscurita sounds so… stuffy." She hesitated for a moment before plunging headlong into her little speech. "Requiem considers me a part of his household, but in name only. That is, he protects me, makes sure that I am safe and have everything that I need. He took me in when I first came to Shadow Cove, gave me a job and helped me get my own apartment. I'm not his companion or donor or whatever, never have been. He does not have any say so over me. I do what I want, I keep company with whom I want. I do not owe him any type of loyalty beyond friendship."
Finished, Ethereal sat back, hoping that Stealth would understand what it was that she was trying to say. To her great dismay, he merely said, "Okay…" like he was awaiting further explanation.
She slapped her hand to her forehead, rubbing her temples with her fingers. "Are all vampires as stupid as you and Requiem or are you purposely being coy?"
Stealth kept quiet, only raising that now infamous eyebrow of his. "What, do I have to spell it out for you?" The vampire sitting across from her continued to stare at her as if he didn't know what she was talking about.
Quickly losing her temper, Ethereal finally scooted to the edge of her seat and pushed her wrist right up under Stealth's nose. "Blood! I'm offering you my blood, get it?"
Stealth took her wrist and gently lowered it from his face. "You do not know what it is you are offering."
Ethereal looked at him like he was crazy. She got up from her chair and once again began to pace around. "It's only blood! I don't know why vampires make such a big deal out of feeding from someone. I have something you need to survive and I'm willing to give it freely, no strings attached. What's wrong with that?" Ethereal stopped next to the heavily draped windows. She moved the drapes back even though she knew there was nothing behind them but a stone wall.
"That's where you are wrong," Stealth's voice came to her softly. "It's not just blood you are offering. When a vampire feeds, he takes part of the donor's life force, a part of their aura. Feeding from another being permanently links those two beings together, forever."
Stealth moved to her side. He wanted nothing more than to wrap his arms around her and take what she was offering. But he knew what that would entail even if she did not, so he kept his hands to himself. "If I fed from you, the two of us would be mentally linked for the rest of our lives. I would always know where you are, what you are thinking, feeling…and you would always feel me in the back of your mind. I could call to you whenever I wanted, invade your thoughts and your dreams. You could never be free of me until one of us perished."
He paused for a moment before continuing. "I know that you are use to that club of Requiem's and seeing humans offer their blood up to whatever set of fangs are nearest to them. Fledglings don't care where they get their blood. They often abuse the mental link to their donors. Most of them usually kill off their donors once they grow tired of them. Those people are the vampiric equivalent of a common street whore. Bloodletting is a consecrated act, the gift of life a sacred bond. It is not something that can be offered up or taken lightly."
Ethereal looked at him then, her hand reaching out to touch his sleeve, forcing him to look at her. "You say that last part as if it were a bad thing," she said softly.
He looked at her in wonderment. "You don't think that having someone always knowing your thoughts and desires and feelings would be a burden? To know that someone could control you from thousands of miles away? To be eternally tied to another?"
She shook her head. "No, it doesn't sound like a burden to me, Stealth. The thought makes me feel safer than I ever have in my life."
Stealth searched her face for some clue to her true feelings. Had she been completely human, he would have been able to tap in to her emotions and would have known immediately if she had some ulterior motive to the gift she was offering. The fey, however, were not only naturally immune to most vampire glamour, their emotions were hid behind natural mental barriers.
"And what would you ask in exchange for your gift?"
A beautiful, patient smiled lit up Ethereal's face as she moved her hand to cup his face. "Nothing. I ask for nothing more than for you to take what you want whenever you have the need. It is my gift and I give it to you freely, without any strings attached. You need never ask my permission as this is an open invitation."
Stealth closed his eyes at the touch of her hand on his skin. He could hear her heart beating, feel the blood pumping just beneath the tantalizing flesh. Her blood called to him like a bee to sweet nectar. "I cannot, not without Requiem's permission. It would be in very poor.... taste.... to not ask him first, if you'll pardon the pun."
He went to turn away, but Ethereal's touch tightened. "To hell with Requiem. I already told you, I do not answer to him. I am my own person and am free to offer my blood to whomever I choose. Besides, he would have told you as soon as you walked in the door if I were off limits. To date, you are the only other vampire he has allowed to sit in my presence. Said he was scared they were going to attack me or something."
With that Stealth groaned, reaching out to take her in his arms. "He is correct to keep you hidden. You are temptation enough just from your smell. Yet, there is something else about you. You are not just a half-breed. There is something else lurking just beneath the skin."
Ethereal grinned at him. "Well I do have a few unique tricks up my sleeve."
Stealth chuckled before pulling her tight against him. He buried his face in her soft hair, inhaling deeply the scent of her skin and shampoo. His pulse quickened as his ears picked up the enticing tattoo of her blood rushing through her veins. He could feel his fangs begin to elongate. He had been nearly a week without fresh blood. He was old enough that he could easily go months without feeding. But he had had a donor for the better part of a decade, a fact that made it harder for him to go cold turkey.
Stealth pulled back from Ethereal, taking her chin in his hand and lifting her face to his. Knowing what his stare could do to her, she strengthened her mental barriers so she would not fall under his enthrall again. "I will only ask you this once more. If you want to retract your offer then you better speak now. Once you give your life force then your mind will no longer be your own. Our souls will be united forever. Are you prepared to take on the consequences of becoming my donor?"
Ethereal nodded her head, her eyes shining in the lamplight. "Yes, I am."
Stealth brushed her thick auburn hair from her face and neck, the back of his hand stroking her cheek. His hand lingered on her skin for a moment before he tightened his grip around her waist. His left hand went to the back of her neck, pushing her head to the side so that her neck was outstretched. His right arm pulled her tightly against his body.
For one brief moment Ethereal allowed panic to set in. She involuntarily moved her hands to Stealth's upper arms, almost pushing away from him before she forced herself to relax. Stealth waited until he felt her tense muscles loosen beneath him. He slowly lowered his mouth to her neck, his fangs elongated completely as he neared the vein pulsing just beneath the skin. "Two souls as one, forever entwined; my heart to yours, your life now mine." He whispered the words softly, opening his mouth wide. His fangs sank deep into the skin, piercing the vein and releasing a torrent of the life giving nectar.
His body convulsed violently as soon as the fluid hit his tongue. Ethereal gasped as his teeth sank deeper into her flesh, the bite a piercing sting in her neck only momentarily. As his mouth closed on the wound, she forgot completely about the searing pain. He pulled her tighter against his body, molding her body to his. Her pulse quickened, allowing the flow of blood to race into Stealth's awaiting mouth without him having to apply any pressure. His throat worked to quickly swallow each surge of fluid as soon as it entered his mouth. He groaned as each mouthful of nectar grew sweeter than the last.
Ethereal felt as if her soul had suddenly exploded outward, the natural mental blocks dissolving within seconds. She became aware of Stealth's mouth on her skin as if it were her own mouth, tasted the sweet tang of her own blood fill her mouth at the same time that she felt the pull of her blood leaving her body. It was like she was herself, feeling everything that was going on with her body, but also as if she were Stealth, feeling everything that he felt and was experiencing simultaneously with her own. It was pleasure and pain combined, fear and elation, heaven and hell.
Another gasp left her mouth as Stealth's grip on both her body and neck tightened. She began to shiver uncontrollably, her mind a swirling mist of images of the two of them locked together in the blood embrace. Her fingers moved to entwine in his hair, pulling him closer to her body. Stealth groaned, biting deeper into her flesh. Her mind pulsed in time with her heartbeat, cloudy images becoming clearer every second.
She saw herself standing, naked, in a stone room, her arms outstretched and shackled, her legs spread shoulder width apart and shackled to the pebbled floor. Her body exploded in pleasure as the skin of her back were beaten relentlessly with a leather whip. She moaned in agony and pleasure, glancing over her shoulder to see Stealth raise his arm to land another dozen lashes across her flesh.
Ethereal's closed eyes suddenly opened wide as she realized that she was seeing the secret desires that were hidden deep within Stealth's soul. "Oh, God!" she gasped, her body an aching, needy thing. "Yes! Oh God, yes, please, Stealth!" Her breathing was ragged as she cried out desperately for him, giving in to his sadistic cravings and yearning for even more. She wanted to be his, to be consumed by him both body and soul.
A long moaning growl emitted from deep within Stealth's throat as he shoved Ethereal against the wall. His left hand held her neck hostage as his right hand thrust her skirt up, his nails ripping through the material of her panties as if they were made of little more than air. His teeth loosened their grip on her throat but did not release her entirely, the flow of blood dwindling down to a trickle. Ethereal wasn't even sure when he had managed to release his engorged organ from his pants. She was only aware of her panties suddenly disappearing and then the feel of rock hard flesh pushing at her entrance.
Stealth had no time for gentleness. He wanted only to feel her flesh surrounding his member, and knew from their shared thoughts that she wanted nothing more in life at that moment to have him filling her. Just as suddenly as he had rendered her panties into tatters, he thrust himself deep inside of her body. Both groaned in unison as their bodies joined, Stealth setting up a quick and steady rhythm. Ethereal moaned incoherently as the waves of pleasure crashed down around her almost immediately, her inner muscles clinching around the nine inches of hard rod that was buried inside of her. Each orgasm barely ebbed before another one was building and exploding inside of her body.
Stealth's paced quickened as he felt the tingling in his testes begin to rise up. His teeth sank back deep into Ethereal's throat as he shoved himself to the hilt inside of her, his seed erupting forth to drench her insides. Ethereal screamed, her own body exploding one final time.
Slowly Stealth released his grip on her neck, his tongue licking the wound to close it. Ethereal slumped against him, so exhausted that she could not even stand on her own. Stealth whispered something in her ear, but Ethereal did not understand any of it. All she wanted to do was sleep, and before she realized what was happening, Stealth had carried her to the bed. "Stealth..." she murmured, but he only shushed her, telling her quietly that she should sleep. She was too tired to argue, but she did not want to be in the bed alone. As if reading her mind, Stealth finished disrobing and slid into the bed beside her. She struggled to get the remnants of her dress off, finally giving up and letting Stealth do it for her. Sighing contentedly, she snuggled up against him, her brain cutting off before she became still.

Maybe vampire knowledge 101 is the problem.

I think it was Anne Rice who used the term -glamorize- in her Vampire Chronicles to describe the hypnotic spell that a vampire casts on his victims. Similarly, writers have used the term -bespell- to mean the same thing. Laurell K. Hamilton uses the term -roll the mind- to describe a similar situation. Basically all these terms are describing a vampire's ability to hypnotize his victims into thinking, feeling, or seeing whatever he wants, thus he -glamorizes-, -bespells-, or -rolls- the victim's mind. It's basic Vampire Knowledge 101 as far as writers are concerned.

The word "ethereal" means "other worldly" which given her heritage and her parents' background makes it a perfect name. In the final story of this series, her namesake is explained more in detail. In the 2nd story of the series Stealth's namesake becomes apparent. It was not the name he was born with, but the name given to him when he became an assassin. But that is getting ahead of the story.
The names of the characters in this series were not picked at random; each name was chosen because of the character's specific backgrounds. Some of the words used in this story are throw backs from novels that were published in the 60s and 70s, and are such that are not normally found in a lot of today's literature. I also took the liberty of creating words that have never been used. With so many novels being published today in the vampire genre, an author has to really go out on a limb to make their work stand out above the crowd. They can't all be high school students after all.

How do the inspections work? FENSA Registered Businesses must undergo a Certification Inspection at the start of their registration with FENSA. To ensure Building Regulations and thermal performance standards are consistently maintained, the installation work of every FENSA Registered Business is continually inspected by FENSA's inspection service provider. Inspections will normally be carried out on 1% of each business's installations, subject to a minimum of 2 per annum and a maximum of 100. In the event of failed inspections, businesses will be responsible for the costs of re-inspection, and the frequency of inspections will increase. FENSA Inspection Cycle This table click here summarises the frequency and different types of inspections that companies undergo based on whether a company is on the 'Pay As You Go' surveillance route or FENSA's original self-certification route (called 'Individual Competence Route' on the attached table).
What are the benefits? For companies, registration with FENSA confirms their commitment to complying to the Building Regulations. Click here to view the full range of benefits for installation companies. For customers, the FENSA scheme will provide a certificate confirming that their replacement window and doors comply with the regulations. Click here to view the full range of benefits for customers.
Why must installers provide insurance? For all replacement window and door installations that are notifiable to FENSA (click here to find out which types of installations fall under FENSA's remit), FENSA Registered Businesses are required to have in place for their customers the categories of insurance stated below. It is a government requirement that companies must have certain insurance policies in place where applicable. Insurance Backed Guarantees (IBG) Replacement of windows and doors in domestic dwellings must have an Insurance Backed Guarantee provided. Deposit Protection: If FENSA Registered Businesses take deposits in advance of installations, they must give some form of deposit indemnity. Deposits may be guaranteed by, for example, trade association Deposit Indemnity schemes, or credit card protection.
Guarantee or Warranty: FENSA Registered Businesses must give a guarantee or warranty covering the cost of completing rectification work in respect of installation defects for a period of ten years.
Deposit Protection can be provided by a range of insurance providers. FENSA provides an 'approved' list of already vetted insurers that FENSA Registered Businesses must use.
My customer has a complaint against me We are sorry to hear that your customer has a complaint against you. FENSA can only deal with consumer complaints regarding non compliance with the Building Regulations. You may find it helpful to understand the advice that we issue to consumers with a complaint by clicking here. Where necessary FENSA will arrange an independent inspection on the installation work that is being investigated as a complaint. If FENSA considers that the Building Regulations have been breached and are non compliant, FENSA will issue a variations report with corrections to be made on the installation which the installer is obliged to undertake. We advise consumers that any other complaints should be referred to your local Trading Standards office, any Trade Association that the Company may belong to or FENSA TGAS, providing that they are members. However all complaints must first be notified to the company and the company's own complaints procedure must be exhausted before the complaint is referred on. If you have a complaint about the FENSA scheme please tel 020 7645 3700 or email:email@example.com
What are Window and Doorset Energy Ratings (WERs / DSERs)? Window and Doorset Energy Ratings are the ratings schemes which determine the energy efficiency of replacement windows and doors in dwellings; the results of which are indicated using a label similar to those found on washing machines, fridges etc. They are rated from 'A++' (most energy efficient) to 'G'.
What are FENSA Energy Ratings? FENSA Window and Doorset Energy Ratings are an extension of the existing market-leading BFRC scheme – just branded FENSA. The scheme is operated and verified by BFRC.
What is BFRC? BFRC is the premier UK authority for the rating of energy efficient windows and doors. BFRC ratings are independently verified.
What are the benefits for installers? Free Window and Doorset Energy Ratings (WERs & DSERs) - verified by BFRC, the market leader Strongest brand in the industry. It is the simplest and quickest way to satisfy Building Regulations / Part L compliance. Easy for consumers to understand Installers get energy rating labels in their company name BFRC website listing. Consumer publicity support. Installers can source glass & frames separately. Consumer recognition. Opportunities to upsell. Technical and Marketing support
What are the benefits to homeowners? Homeowners understand energy rating labels – and they generally find U-values confusing. Homeowners can easily and simply compare rated products. Homeowners can get a certificate confirming the rating(s) of product(s) installed. Energy rating labels with the FENSA brand (supported by BFRC technical and auditing support) give consumers reassurance.
How do I sign up? Just email FENSA at email@example.com stating you want to opt-in. It's totally free.

How much does it cost? For FENSA certified companies it's free.

Is this a new Energy Ratings scheme? Does the industry need another Energy Ratings Scheme? No – it is the existing BFRC scheme that has been expanded and enhanced to incorporate the FENSA brand. This will give it greater trade and consumer recognition to make it more attractive to a wider range of users. It is still operated and independently verified by BFRC.
What are the benefits to the industry in general? FENSA brand recognition will grow the usage of Window and Doorset Energy Ratings, helping to drive technological advances in energy efficient window technology (as BFRC has done for 10 years).
What happens to the BFRC scheme? It will still operate. Firstly, the FENSA ratings are just a FENSA branded version of the BFRC ratings. Secondly, not all BFRC Authorised Retailers are registered with FENSA so they can continue to use the BFRC label if they wish.
Do homeowners understand Energy Rating labels? Research undertaken by BFRC reveals that the vast majority of homeowners do not understand U-values and they generally find them confusing. However homeowners do understand energy rating labels because they see them everywhere on the high street on electrical goods – and even in estate agent's windows. Energy Ratings helps homeowners to easily and simply compare competing labelled products.
Is this a Buildings Regulation requirement? It is the simplest and quickest way to satisfy Building regulations – but it's not a requirement.
What is ADR and TGAS? ADR stands for Alternative Dispute Resolution, of which arbitration and ombudsman schemes are examples, and is being promoted by Government via the EU ADR Directive. ADR is usually cheaper and quicker at resolving disputes than going to court. Since 1st October 2015 where a business receives a complaint from a consumer and the business' own complaint procedure has been exhausted but they are still in dispute with the consumer, the company is legally required to give the consumer details of an ADR provider. TGAS is a new independent ADR Scheme for the glass and glazing industry. TGAS was set up by GGF and is operated impartially and independently by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) that is a Trading Standards Institute Certified ADR body. An arbitrator appointed by CEDR under the TGAS Scheme will be a professional arbitrator, who is a member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. FENSA has negotiated free registration with TGAS for its' Certified Companies.
Why should I sign up for FENSA TGAS? • When you have a complaint from a customer that cannot be settled via your own company complaints process, you are legally required to provide consumers with the options for using an ADR provider. TGAS is the primary ADR Scheme in the glazing sector. • Use of the TGAS logo • Free registration for FENSA certified companies – negotiated by FENSA • Reduced arbitration costs for FENSA certified companies only – negotiated by FENSA
What does TGAS cover? For consumers using a FENSA certified company that is registered with FENSA TGAS, TGAS covers non-Building Regulations-related complaints only. The TGAS Scheme does not apply to: • Building Regulations-related complaints as this is covered by FENSA's complaints process. Disputes where: • One or either of the Parties has already initiated legal action, unless that legal action is cancelled by agreement; • The claims concern physical injury, illness, nervous shock or their consequences; • The claim is frivolous or vexatious; • The claim is for compensation in respect of stress, inconvenience or consequential loss; • The claim concerns an application for payment of an amount greater than £30,000
What does being a TGAS member involve? Once you are a TGAS member you will need to advise your customer you are a member of TGAS. If the customer submits a complaint through FENSA TGAS after at least 56 days have elapsed since a complaint was raised with FENSA and there is still an unresolved dispute and the complaint is not Building Regulations related, you will be required to complete the arbitration process. The arbitration decision is legally binding on both parties. However, both the consumer and the installation company will need to have fully exhausted the company's own complaints process prior to submitting a complaint to FENSA TGAS.
How do I sign up to get Free Registration with TGAS? Please actively 'Opt-In' and sign up to the TGAS scheme rules by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com In the future, you may be able to opt-in online via your FENSA account at www.fensaonline.com
What does it cost? TGAS registration is free for FENSA certified companies. If a company is signed up to FENSA TGAS: For consumers, where they have a complaint about a FENSA TGAS member that is unresolved after exhausting the installer's complaints process and after at least 56 days have elapsed since the complaint was raised with FENSA and there is still an unresolved dispute, it will cost £100+VAT to submit a complaint to arbitration through TGAS (NB: 'document-based' arbitration only). For FENSA TGAS installers the arbitration process starts at £395 (ex VAT) per complaint. The arbitration decision is legally binding on both parties.
What options do I have if I don't sign up to FENSA TGAS? If you receive a complaint from a customer that cannot be resolved through your own complaints procedure and the complaint is not Building Regulations-related, you will need to provide your customer with a range of ADR options, including the name/website of an ADR provider in the glazing sector. TGAS is one of these ADR options and is the primary ADR Scheme in the glazing sector. If you do not opt in to TGAS, when you receive a complaint from a customer that cannot be resolved through your own complaints procedure and the complaint is not Building Regulations-related, you will need to provide your customer with a range of ADR options, including the name/website of an ADR provider in the glazing sector. TGAS is one of these ADR options and is the primary ADR Scheme in the glazing sector.
If I change my mind after signing up to FENSA TGAS, can I opt out and get a refund? TGAS registration is free for FENSA Certified Companies. Refunds are not available. To 'opt-out' after you have signed up, please email firstname.lastname@example.com IMPORTANT: If a customer has submitted a complaint about your company to arbitration via TGAS, you will not be able to opt out until after TGAS has decided on the case (binding on the company and the consumer).

It seems so basic — require mortgage lenders to qualify borrowers based on their ability to repay the loan. Yet this wasn't the case for many mortgages in the run-up to the housing crisis contributing to the mess we're still in now.
Nevertheless, you can hear criticism of the new mortgage rules that became effective Friday. Under the federal government's ability-to-repay rule, lenders must make a "reasonable, good-faith determination" that an applicant can afford the mortgage.
Critics say the stronger mortgage requirements could make it harder for people to qualify.
Yes, that's the point. We had to move away from how things were. For the last several years, I've worked with many homeowners struggling under burdensome mortgages. I'd often look at their loan papers and shake my head. How could they manage such large monthly payments after some ridiculously low teaser rate expired? What were they thinking?
But I also want to smack the people who approved many of these mortgages. It may have been legal in most cases, but that didn't make it right. The lenders should have known better.

TIE KNOTS THE FUN AND EASY WAYBetter to know a knot and not need it, than need a knot and not know it. | ||||||||||||
Half Hitch | ||||||||||||
Basics Index
Basic Usage
Animation: Half Hitch Tying
Half Hitch TyingForm a loop around the object. Pass the end around the standing end and through the loop. Tighten into a Half Hitch which is designed to take a load (Arrow) on the standing end.Half Hitch DetailsUses: Ashley described the Half Hitch (ABOK # 50, p 14) as "tied with one end of a rope being passed around an object and secured to its own standing part with a Single Hitch." Comparison: The animation shows the close similarity between:
Tying it: As shown in the animation it can be capsized from looking like an overhand knot into the normal look of a Half Hitch. In this animation the second Half Hitch shows how it is customarily tied - wrapping it round the standing end and tucking it under itself. Two Half Hitches: The first Half Hitch is nearly always followed by a second – or more. It is customary to pass the rope the same way around to make both Half Hitches. This creates a Clove Hitch around the standing end. When the second Half Hitch is reversed it creates a Cow Hitch round the standing end. Recommendations: Although two Half Hitches do make a complete "Hitch", it is better to begin by first passing the rope around the post or bollard a second time to make the Round Turn and Two Half Hitches. This is more secure and provides easier control of the load while tying the Half Hitches. Disclaimer: Any activity that involves ropes is potentially hazardous. Lives may be at risk - possibly your own. Considerable attention and effort have been made to ensure that these descriptions are accurate. However, many critical factors cannot be controlled, including: the choice of materials; the age, size, and condition of ropes; and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed. No responsibility is accepted for incidents arising from the use of this material.

The tragic romance of P.S. I Love You still endures. A Facebook page liked by over 130,000 fans brims with messages of romance. If they thought that was romantic Ireland – they ain't seen nothing yet
Before American singer-songwriter Steve Earle found one roaming the city streets; and long before Gerard Butler won Hilary Swank's heart with the song in the film P.S. I Love You, there was another Galway Girl. In fact, she was from County Down, but Margaret Vaughan tragic tale will be forever linked with Galway as the inspiration behind Kylemore Abbey's Gothic Church.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Before the tragedy, there was romance.
It's 1852. Successful financier, Mitchell Henry and his new bride, Margaret Vaughan, are on honeymoon in Connemara. The couple is enjoying an al fresco lunch in the townland of Kylemore. As they sit, Margaret comments how beautiful the area is. How wonderful it would be to live there. Thirteen years later a castle emerges, overlooking a glassy Connemara lake.
Luxury is too small a word to describe the place. In his book Irish Country Houses, Terence Reeves-Smyth talks of the castle as being "on a Citizen Kane scale, boasting many splendid reception rooms including a ballroom with a sprung floor, a magnificent staircase, a library, a study and 33 bedrooms..." For almost 10 years, Mitchell, Margaret and their nine children live here, in what sounds like, from all accounts, a state of bliss.

But then, in 1875 on a visit to Egypt, Margaret contracts a fever and dies. A heartbroken Mitchell can't bear to spend much time in Kylemore and avoids it when possible. His broken heart, however, can't stop him from building his wife one of the most elegant final resting places money can buy.
A tribute Someone well acquainted with Kylemore is manager Brid O'Connell. For Brid, the church is more than just a resting place. It's a tribute. "At Kylemore, the gargoyles usually seen at a Gothic church are smiling angels," she explains. "To me, this is the first sign that there is something special and different about this church. It was built in memory of a woman; and with its small scale, delicate features, carved flowers and birds, there are definite feminine qualities."
A secret love story Few visitors know the story of Kylemore and its reason for being built. Brid has broken the news to thousands of guests there.
"They're amazed and saddened when I tell them," she says. "Margaret was only 45 when she died leaving her husband and their nine children broken hearted."
It's dramatic stuff. For Mitchell, Kylemore Abbey – a labour of love – turned overnight into a vast reminder of the woman he had lost. His, and Kylemore's, is a love story with no letters from beyond the grave and no carefully edited flashbacks. Whatever about Hollywood, this is the real stuff.
Yet, as any good writer will know, every story must have its end. Mitchell and Margaret's came when he passed away in 1910, joining his wife in the Gothic Church at Kylemore.
And there they stay. Happily ever after.

Artek Software
I am a 9-5 corporate software developer who is branching out and starting my own company to do consultant jobs on the side. I'm planning on growing this business large enough to be self sustaining. I currently have iPhone/iPad applications in the works along with various web sites and applications.
My primary audience is decision makers in other businesses who need someone to design and write custom software. A secondary audience will be mobile phone users, as I plan on having various iPhone/iPad/Android/Windows Phone applications in the future.
I'm looking for a logo that is creative and "fresh". It needs to render well both big and small. The biggest that I think I need will be as full screen PowerPoint splash screen (1920 x 1200). The smallest that I think I need is as an iPhone home page icon.
I chose the name "Artek" because programming is as much an art as a science. I don't have any specific design ideas, but maybe something playing off the pronunciation of "Artek" as "arctic"? So, cool, blues and whites? Maybe the "A" in Artek looks like an iceberg? (Just an idea, PLEASE feel free to surprise me).
I need the final design in..

Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
