This was an awesome addition to our space unit since our book had very little information on asteroids, meteors, and comets.
In this Asteroids, Meteors & Comets mini, students will learn the differences between asteroids, meteors and comets. Students touch a label to reveal detailed information about what each body is, what each body is made of, what size each body is, and where each body is found or originates from. Our content meets the Common Core State Standards and are written to Bloom's Taxonomy.

The three main political parties are full of ideas ahead of an election, especailly when it comes to healthcare and the NHS, but will any of them work?
Political parties are full of ideas ahead of an election, but will any of them work?
By the time you are read this instalment of the machinations of my deranged mind, I will be winging my way to a former colony, on the other side of the world.
A conference in Sydney, a couple of workshops in Canberra. There's no sense in rushing back. As a globetrotting, jet-setter, I have responsibilities: there are locals on Bondi Beach who will be anxious to admire my rippling frame and surfing skills; the Anangu will expect me to spend a few dollars on a souvenir of Uluru, as us international anthropologists know it - local Aboriginal tribe and Ayers Rock to you - and, the Great Barrier Reef ecological project will need the endorsement of this global, environmental role-model. It's a dirty business but someone has to do it.
No sense in rushing back. Indeed, I intend to avoid coming back for as long as possible. Firstly, two 18-hour flights can't be any good for you. I do the walking up and down, the toe-wiggling and drink water but I can't get on with the stockings. I find the suspender belt chafes.
Secondly, it is highly likely you will be in the throes of a general election campaign. My spies tell me it is more likely to be sooner than later. A good time to be away.
The political outlook seems bleak. There is no point in thinking about the Lib Dems, they're never going to have a house-warming at Number 10 and increasingly remind me of Billy Bunter and the Ink Monitors.
Then there is the living version of Madame Tussauds, otherwise known as the Tory Party. A house-warming at Number 10? No chance, and anyway they don't deserve it. Tory health policy is dangerous. I mean dangerous in the sense that it is so ludicrous that it puts you in danger of falling into hysterical fits of uncontrollable laughter that could end in a busted gusset, or a burst something or other.
I know nothing about schools and roads and crime, but I think I can claim a more than average understanding of health service policy.
It leads me to the conclusion that if the Tory policy on everything else is as badly thought through as their health policy seems to be, please be sure they never get close to running a whelk stall, never mind the country.
The Tories want matrons with the power to close wards infected with MRSA. What do you do with the infected patients? 'Move them around the hospital, to another ward, so they can infect everyone else!' Hysterical, isn't it?
And of course, let's not forget: close a ward on Monday, decontaminate it on Tuesday and Wednesday, open it for patients on Thursday and it is as likely as not to be re-infected by Friday. Hilarious!
The Tories don't understand that MRSA comes in through the front door, carried by patients and staff. The answer is to test all trauma and elective patients. Barrier nurse the infected trauma patients and send infected, elective patients home with some antibiotics and tell them not to come back until they test clear. Then, test all clinical staff and send the carriers off on gardening leave until the antibiotics have done the job and they, too, are clear.
Too difficult? Well, believe it or not, that's just what they do in the Netherlands - of all places - where the incidence of MRSA is about 1 per cent. For the record, here it is 44 per cent.
Oh, and let's not forget hand washing. Give me a politician who will make failure to hand-wash a hanging offence, and I'll fly back and vote for them. We need hand washing marshals not floor washing matrons.
The Tories are also very entertaining with their practical jokes around vouchers. The idea? If you go private for treatment, they will pay you the difference between the NHS tariff and the private hospital cost.
But there is no private sector in the UK, just a muddle of insurers, charities and not-for-profit organisations that provide the infrastructure for NHS doctors to moonlight. Stoke the private sector and what do you get? NHS consultants, who know a bob or two when they sniff it, making sure they have long waiting lists to feed their private sector income.
Let's not forget the effect of this barmy idea on private sector cost inflation: if the government chips in, prices go up. So, the Tories are a joke but what about the Labour Party? Labour has yet to publish its manifesto, so you will have to rely on my predictions.
There are four ideas that gurus and policy wonks have been whispering: convergence, the power of choice, the role of the citizen and deregulation.
Convergence runs like this: local government is accountable, unpopular and doesn't have much to do. Health is popular, has a democratic deficit and has too much to do. Merge, or converge, the management of the two, have people elect mayors and hospital bosses and vote on local priorities.
Local government is in charge of more of the local economy, involving more local people and bingo, it is reinvigorated.
Choice with power: people with chronic and long-term conditions have a pretty rough time. Give them vouchers to spend on their care and they will sort out what they want. Mogadon, a herb pillow or a massage. Let people spend their own money on their own care. Meals on wheels, or lunch at the pub? Let the people choose.
Role of the citizen: involves more people in the development of services and you can expect more from them. If you get recalcitrant parents with wayward kids involved with the school, truancy levels drop. Get obese smokers involved with healthcare policy decisions and they will see lifestyle issues are personal choices that not only they pay for - we all do.
Deregulation? The Pharmaceutical Price Regulatory Scheme will go, more drugs will be available over-the-counter and co-payments for a new category of me-too drugs is a certainty. So, that's the election sorted - apart from that, life's a beach!

My own Navy-style rum
January 1, 2018 by Gary
In the last two months I wrote a number of posts on Navy rum. I discussed the Black Tot brand, bottled from last stocks of stored Navy rum as a commercial venture about 10 years ago and sold around the world. I mentioned Pusser's rum, the only one that claims to follow the Navy recipe used before the rum ration ended in the U.K. in 1970.
I discussed as well various comments opining on the components of the blend used. Clearly, the Royal Navy sourced the rum from different places via a long-time broker and its suppliers, but it seems a solera-type blending system at the Deptford navy yard outside London, in place by the later 1800s, produced a complex blend.
The idea was it seems not so much to produce a connoisseur's drink, something ostensibly at odds with the practical, even hard-edged ethos of the Navy ratings, but a drink that would hold its flavour when diluted with water. Ratings took the drink diluted 2:1, petty ranks could take it neat. Still, the long development of the drink probably encouraged output of an attractive flavour.
Even without intending it this kind of result insensibly would have resulted; this is the case in fact with many long-established products, they end by being good through a thousand small adjustments over time: Fuller's beers, say.
Tastings of the 1960s Navy rum via Black Tot online reviews suggest a strong, dry chocolate flavour with complex overtones of fruit, spice, oils.
A credible source I documented stated in the 1960s the rum blend was Guyana, Trinidad, and 10% Aussie or Natal (South Africa).
Given though in the 1930s a witness in Parliament stated the rum was a blend of "Empire rums", including Jamaica when price permitted, I decided to go about doing my own blend using Guyana rum as the base. Most sources agree Guyana rum was the base of the navy blend, at least in the 20th century.
I made three blends: one a combination of Myers Planter's Punch rum (all-Guyana with an evident pot still impact), Cockspur rum (light golden from Barbados), and Screech, a rum marketed originally in Newfoundland that is probably from Jamaica. The Screech label states only Caribbean rums are used but it has a Jamaican taste, IMO. All these rums were probably at most a few years old.
The second was the blend above but in different proportions, and with two older rums added: Admiral Rodney Extra Old (St. Lucia) and Westerhall Vintage (Grenada), used for additional complexity and age. The third blend was the same as No. 2 but in different proportions again.
I found the flavour of each excellent, after tinkering to get each right. The blending really did something, the result was better IMO than each on its own, not just the taste but the texture. It's odd how each rum might finish short or spirity on its own yet the blend acquired length and softness.
At a dinner, I asked a friend who likes beer and whiskey but hasn't much experience with rum to blind-taste the first and second blends (the no. 2 only of the second) and I included Pusser's rum as well. Pusser's is apparently blended from Guyana and Trinidad rums only but from different stills. Demerara Distillers Ltd. in Guyana is famous for its numerous stills, of which some are very old including a couple built from a greenwood of the area no longer available.
The Guyana-Trinidad blend is substantially what the RN was using in the 1960s, as reported above. Pusser's is at least three years old by all reports I have read, so roughly of the average age of my first blend mentioned, as I estimated it.
My guest chose my second blend as his favourite, he said the taste was deeper and better than the others. I feel my second blend matches up to some Navy rum in its history because the solera at Deptford (mostly destroyed by German bombing in WW II, incidentally) would have imparted some long-aged notes.
The Pusser's is very good certainly, and was his second choice. Pusser's has that slight rubber note good pot still rum should have, but wreathed in a molasses-like sweetness, and well, it's just a good taste. My first blend showed some of the grassy notes of younger Demerara pot still, but was still nice and perhaps a good example of younger Navy rum in its day.
I think I got close to the Navy tradition for each of my blends. They are IMO at least as good as Pusser's while being somewhat different. I hadn't the advantage too to marry the blends in wood, or even in vat for a while which may have improved the mix. They just sat in the bottles for a few weeks. But they were very nice all the same.

HomeEntertainmentDr. Dre: After suffering reported brain aneurysm, rapper says he's 'doing great' at hospital
Dr. Dre: After suffering reported brain aneurysm, rapper says he's 'doing great' at hospital
January 6, 2021 Entertainment 0
Dr. Dre, whose real name is Andre Romelle Young, is reportedly in stable condition after he was taken to the intensive care unit on Monday, according to TMZ, the first to report the news. The music mogul did not disclose the reason why he was hospitalized. The story was later confirmed by the Los Angeles Times and E! News.
Requests for comment to Dr. Dre's representatives were not immediately returned late Tuesday.
Dr. Dre burst onto the national scene in the '80s from Compton, Calif., as part of N.W.A, the influential gangster rap group. An architect of the West Coast rap scene, his 1992 debut solo album, "The Chronic," is considered one of the most important and influential albums of the era. Last year, the Library of Congress hailed the album as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant," and selected it to be preserved for the National Recording Registry.
The six-time Grammy winner has grown into a decorated producer, helping oversee the careers of artists spanning multiple decades and eras — from 2Pac and Snoop Dogg to Eminem and Kendrick Lamar.
His move to the world of headphones turned Beats Electronics into a dominant tech brand. By selling Beats to Apple in 2014 for an estimated $3 billion, Dr. Dre became one of the richest men in music.
The health scare comes amid a contentious divorce with his wife, Nicole Young, who is reportedly seeking $2 million a month in temporary spousal support and another $5 million in attorney fees. The couple have two adult children.
News of Dre's hospitalization was met by an outpouring of support on social media from fans, friends and artists wishing him a speedy recovery.
Rapper and actor LL Cool J said that Dre was "recovering nicely," while Ice Cube, his former partner in N.W.A, urged fans to "send your love and prayers to the homie Dr. Dre."
On Instagram, Snoop Dogg shared footage of the pair performing their 2000 hit, "The Next Episode," at Coachella.
"WE NEED U CUZ," he wrote.

Castles of "Austria" FALKENSTEIN CASTLE (NIEDERFALKENSTEIN) vs BURGRUINE FELDSBERG
FALKENSTEIN CASTLE (NIEDERFALKENSTEIN)
Did not know about it I do not care much for it
Beautiful Mundane
My favorite Not the best but top 10
Niederfalkenstein Castle is a medieval castle near Obervellach in Carinthia, Austria. It is part of the larger Falkenstein fortification complex; while the main fortress of Oberfalkenstein today is a ruin, the lower barbican of Niederfalkenstein is largely preserved. The name may be derived from Proto-Germanic walhaz (foreigner, stranger; Romance/Celtic-speaker) in terms of a Romance (Italian) settlement, referring to descendants of the former Roman city of Teurnia, who had migrated to the remote valley during the Slavic settlement of the Eastern Alps about 600. The first documented ministerialis Gumpoldus de Valchenstein was a liensmen of Count Engelbert II of Gorizia (Görz), scion of the Meinhardiner dynasty. The Counts of Gorizia also held the office of a Vogt of Bendictine Millstatt Abbey, and the Lord of Falkenstein established close ties to the monastery. The Falkenstein dynasty became extinct about 1300, soon after two castles, 'Upper' and 'Lower' Falkenstein were mentioned, enfeoffed by the Counts of Gorizia to several local nobles. On 24 June 1394 Count Henry VI gave the upper castle in pawn to the Habsburg duke Albert III of Austria. It was finally seized by Albert's nephew Emperor Frederick III in 1460, after he had defeated Count John II of Gorizia in the conflict over the heritage of the extinct Counts of Celje. The lower castle was temporarily held by the Carinthian knight Andreas von Graben, who sold it in 1462. In 1504 Frederick's son and successor Emperor Maximilian I again pawned the castle to Count Julian of Lodron, by his wife Apollonia brother-in-law of the Salzburg archbishop Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg. It was acquired by Apollonia's second husband Christoph Frankopan after Lodron's death in 1510. The countess donated an altarpiece by Jan van Scorel in the Obervellach parish church, depicting Saint Christopher, herself and her castle. At the same time, large funds had to be raised in order to restore the dilapidated premises. Afterwards, several nobles held the castle, among them the descendants of Gabriel von Salamanca-Ortenburg and the Khevenhüller dynasty, while the premises decayed. When the Austrian mountaineer Joseph Kyselak visited the site in 1825, it largely laid in ruins. Rebuilt from 1905, the Unterfalkenstein palas burnt down after a burglary in 1969 and had to be restored again. Up to today the castle is a private property, but can be visited in summer.

A: The error is coming from Cowsdatabase.java on line 64.
I presume it's somewhere in this block:
int Cown = Integer.parseInt(cowids.getText().toString());
String Sire = sire.getText().toString();
String Dam = dam.getText().toString();
int Month = Integer.parseInt(months.getText().toString());
int Date = Integer.parseInt(dates.getText().toString());
int Year = Integer.parseInt(years.getText().toString());

Because it's a NullPointerException, we can make the assumption that one of the variable.getText() executions returns null. If this is true, the following toString() would trigger the exception.
Using a debugger would make this very clear.

Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, rolled a strike on his fill ball in the second game of the decisive match to defeat Brandon Grant of Las Vegas by mere one pin, 411-410, and to win the title in the World Bowling Tour's 15th New Mexico Open Sunday at Tenpins & More in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
The PBA Hall-of-Famer and former PBA Player of the Year (pictured above with check and trophy) barely qualified in 29th of the top 32 to make the bracket play at the 171-bowler tournament.
The top 32 after eight games of qualifying were seeded into double-elimination match play bracket to bowl two-game total pinfall matches. The field was trimmed to four players for the stepladder finals, who bowled two-game total pinfall matches, with no. 4 playing no. 3, the winner playing no. 2, before the winner of the semifinal match challenged the leader (who would have to lose twice) for the trophy and the $13,060 first prize check (includes $12,000 first prize, $60 for high squad game, and $1,000 for 300 in bracket play).
The NMO was covered live for 30 hours via BowlStreamTV.
Barnes started slowly there too, with a 370-340 win over Steve Novak of Louisville, Ky., then lost round two, shooting 337 to Dino Castillo's, Carrollton, Texas, 446 to send him to the loser's bracket and "a long day at the office".
With a large crowd of interested local spectators behind him and drawing on his 19 PBA titles and record eight gold medals in World Bowling World Championships, Barnes eliminated Chad Lusche of Las Vegas (222/256) 478-326, Alfred Wolfe lll of Denver, Colo. (300/258) 558-326, former U.S. Open champion Robert Lawrence of Austin, Texas (212/225) 437-412, England's Stuart Williams, who resides in Phoenix, Ariz. (225/192) 417-390 and Kris Koeltzow of Denver, Colo. (227/222) 449-410 to make the opening match of the stepladder finals against Castillo.
Castillo (right), 47, another World Bowling World Champion (2003 in trios with Bill Hoffman and Tim Mack) from Texas, had lost to Darren Tang 477-443 in round three, then beat Morgan Moore with 410, 2017 U.S. Open winner Francois Lavoie of Quebec City, Canada with 450 and Emily Eckhoff of Denver with 405 to get a crack at Barnes.
Castillo, who suffered an early illness exit earlier this year at the USBC Masters in Syracuse, N.Y., simply as he put it "ran out of gas". His 167/139 (306) was no match for Barnes' 224/175 (399). Castillo finished fourth for $2,250.
Next up, Darren Tang (left) of San Francisco, whose first loss came in round five to Grant in the final of the winner's bracket, 372-389, a result that could easily have gone the other way. Tang's winning sets included a 432-425 win over Michael Steele of Amarillo, Texas, 399-397 against Matt McNiel of Minneapolis, Minnesota, 477-443 over Castillo, and 431-398 to Koeltzow.
Barnes opened with 277 to Tang's 256. The 19-pin lead disappeared in the fourth frame of game two but Barnes recovered with a turkey, while Tang closed with five consecutive single pin spares. Barnes lost the game, 211-202, but won the match, 479-467. Tang received $3,000 for third.
That set up the final match against Grant, who – like Barnes – was making his first appearance at the event. Barnes had to beat the number one seed twice to win the title. The opener was no contest as Barnes cruised to a 105-pin victory, 397-292, to force a deciding second match.
Grant (right) started the final match with six strikes in a row, as Barnes struggled early to carry. Two late opens by Grant in the eighth and ninth gave Barnes a life going in to game two and a five-bagger by him in frames three through seven didn't hurt after Grant opened again in his seventh frame.
The title was going to go down to the very end after Barnes left a blow-out 7-10 in the ninth and Grant got 29 in his tenth frame requiring Barnes to get twenty to win.
Barnes comfortably converted a 10-pin in his 10th frame and his fill ball strike got him over the line, as he earned $13,060 (from a total prize fund of $56,250) for the 411-410 victory. Grant was rewarded with $6,060 in his first big appearance in a major regional event.
The 15th edition of the New Mexico Open was the 8th stop of the World Bowling Tour 2018 and the lone tier 3 event this season. WBT tier 3 events award bowlers with two times the number of WBT Rankings points (tier 2 four times and tier 1 six times).
The ninth stop of the 2018 World Bowling Tour season will be the Storm Lucky Larsen Masters, a tier 2 event, which will be held Aug. 25 to Sept. 9 at Baltiska Bowlinghallen in Malmö, Sweden.
Double-elimination match play; two-game total pinfall matches.
and in the deciding match, Barnes (201/210) def. Grant (219/191), 411-410.


Vancouver, British Columbia, July 19, 2012 (TSX Venture: EMX; NYSE MKT: EMXX; Frankfurt: 6E9) - Eurasian Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "EMX") is pleased to announce mid-year exploration results from the Akarca gold-silver project in northwestern Turkey. These results include an intercept from the Sarikaya Tepe Zone of 26.1 meters averaging 4.47 g/t gold and 16.39 g/t silver, with a higher-grade sub-interval of 5.8 meters averaging 13.59 g/t gold and 49.65 g/t silver. This intercept demonstrates the validity of a new target-type. These new targets consist of higher grade gold-silver mineralization hosted at the intersection of high angle vein structures and the contact between basement schists and younger, overlying clastic sedimentary units. Potential mineralization developed along this shallow dipping contact adds further exploration upside, and extends the vertical dimension of the gold-silver mineralized system. EMX is exploring the Akarca property in a joint venture with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc. Please see www.EurasianMinerals.com for more information.
Sarikaya Tepe Prospects. Sarikaya Tepe, is a 2010 EMX discovery. Last year's drilling delineated approximately 200 meters of strike length with near-surface oxide intercepts that included 14.2 meters averaging 4.61g/t gold, with a higher-grade sub-interval of 5.8 meters averaging 10.00 g/t gold and 4.16 g/t silver (true width interpreted as 60 - 80% of reported interval). This year's drilling targeted the deeper basement schist contact, with two of three holes intersecting gold-silver mineralization.
Sarikaya Tepe. Failed to intersect projected structure.
Sarikaya Tepe at the contact between conglomerates and underlying basement schist. True width interpreted to be approximately 55-65% of reported interval.
Sarikaya Tepe North. Drilled into footwall.
Sarikaya Tepe North within limestone units true width interpreted to be 55-65% of reported interval.
Sarikaya Tepe, assays above 112.0m are pending. True width interpreted to be 70-80% of reported interval.
Notes: Intervals reported at a nominal 0.2 g/t Au cutoff. Au equivalent calculated as 55:1 Ag:Au ratio, and assumes that Au and Ag recoveries and net smelter returns are 100%.
Sarikaya Tepe is a 500 by 100 meter zone of surface-exposed quartz veining, silicification, and gold-silver mineralization coincident with a steep north-northwest topographic high. Follow-up surface mapping, geochemical sampling, and a 2012 IP-resistivity survey further extended the trend to Sarikaya Tepe North. The 1.8 kilometer trend from Sarikaya Tepe to Sarikaya Tepe North has seen limited drill testing to date.
Additional Exploration Advancements. EMX also completed property-wide gravity and structural geologic studies. This work identified through-going structural trends that appear to control gold-silver mineralization, and bound large areas of shallow basement rocks termed "basement complexes". The known areas of gold-silver mineralization fall along the flanks of these complexes, and are spatially coincident with resistivity anomalies produced by silicification and quartz veining. These deep-seated boundary structures likely provided the primary conduits for hydrothermal fluids related to mineralization. This new structural framework provides context for the multiple gold-silver zones that occur within Akarca's district-scale mineralized system, and will be an important tool for further delineating the known gold-silver prospects, as well as increasing the potential for discovering new mineralized zones under cover.
Akarca Overview. The Akarca gold-silver project is an EMX grassroots discovery with multiple gold-silver mineralized zones that are being expanded and advanced. In addition to Sarikaya Tepe, surface exploration work and drilling has delineated five other prospect areas of structurally focused mineralization within broad, lower grade zones, as summarized below.
The Kucukhugla Tepe, Fula Tepe, and Hugla Tepe prospects occur in the 2.1 by 2.2 kilometer Central Target area. Kucukhugla Tepe is a 100 meter wide, northwest trending corridor of oxide gold-silver mineralization occurring in two sub-parallel systems of veining and stockworking. Fula Tepe zone is a 900 by 200 meter, northeast trending corridor of gold-silver mineralization, quartz veining, wall-rock silicification, and IP-resistivity anomalies. Hugla Tepe is a 650 by 350 meter area of anomalous gold-silver mineralization, quartz veining and IP-resistivity anomalies.
The Arap Tepe prospect is a three by two kilometer, northwest trending corridor of multiple, sub-parallel zones of oxide gold-silver mineralization, quartz veining, and resistivity anomalies located approximately three kilometers east of the Central Target area. Previous drill results included 55.4 m (true width interpreted as 65 – 85% of the reported interval) averaging 3.10 g/t gold and 4.89 g/t silver.
The Percem Tepe prospect is a 800-meter long trend of multiple zones of oxide gold-silver mineralization. Previous drill results included 102.2 m (true width interpreted as 65 – 85% of the reported interval) averaging 0.57 g/t gold and 5.50 g/t silver.
Akarca is covered by a JV agreement between EMX and Centerra Exploration B.V. ("Centerra"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc. Centerra recently completed US$5,000,000 in exploration expenditures to fulfill their 50% earn-in requirements. As a follow-up to the earn-in, Centerra must pay $1,000,000 to EMX. Centerra may earn an additional 20% in the project, bringing the total to 70%, by spending a further US$5,000,000 over two years.
EMX Properties in Turkey Available for Partnership. EMX currently has two porphyry copper and gold projects available for partnership in Turkey. The Alankoy porphyry copper-gold project is located in the vicinity of the recently discovered Halilaga porphyry copper-gold deposit in northwestern Turkey (currently being advanced as a Joint Venture project by Teck Resources Limited and Pilot Gold), and Alamos Gold's Kirazli project. Shallow historic drilling at Alankoy was focused on epithermal gold targets, but one hole drilled in the center of the system ended in copper mineralization. EMX's Trab-23 property is located in northeast Turkey, and is also available for partnership. The property consists of a series of gold mineralized epithermal quartz veins overprinting stockwork quartz-sulfide veining and porphyry style alteration. Only two short holes have been drilled in the license area (both less than 150 m), with gold-copper-molybdenum grades increasing down-hole and ending in mineralization.
Comments on Sampling, Assaying, and QA/QC. EMX's drill and geochemical samples were collected in accordance with accepted industry standards. The samples were submitted to ALS Chemex laboratories in Izmir, Turkey (ISO 9001:2000) and Vancouver, Canada (ISO 9001:2000 and 17025:2005 accredited) for sample preparation and analysis. Gold was analyzed by fire assay with an AAS finish, and silver underwent aqua regia digestion and analysis with MS/AES techniques. Over limit assays for gold (> 10 g/t Au) were conducted with fire assay and a gravimetric finish. As standard procedure, the Company conducts routine QA/QC analysis on all assay results, including the systematic utilization of certified reference materials, blanks, and field duplicates.

I've read most of the books of The Heart of The Staff fantasy series by Carol Marrs Phipps, so I had to read the final installment of the series. As with the other books, it was an excellent read!
Synopsis (from the author): Niarg has fallen to the dark sorceresses Demonica and Queen Spitemorta. The dragons have fled from their caves. Confident that Queen Minuet and Wizard Razzmorten are dead, and that the trolls have eaten every breathing Elf, Spitemorta brings down the last hamlets of the Northern Continent as she prepares to conquer the rest of the world.
But Queen Minuet and Wizard Razzmorten do live and are hiding in the crater of Mount Bedd with the Fairy guardians of the Forest Primeval, where they wait for what remains of their army before fleeing to the Black Desert to live beneath its burning sands with the dragons and all of the Elves who escaped Demonica's great troll raid, down their hidden river.
What I liked: Over the course of reading this series, I became fond of many of the characters. My favorites are Minuet, Razzmorten, Edward Myrtlebell's son) and the dragons. I think the blue tattooed warriors (Beaks) were great characters. I enjoyed the way the various threads of the story cam etogether, but you'll get no spoilers from me! To find out how it all ends, you will just have to read it!
What I didn't like: I did struggle a bit with the language of the Fairies. It was fine in small doses, but in this book, there was much dialogue among the three sisters and it slowed my reading as I tried to comprehend what they were saying.
Overall impression: I enjoyed the entire series and this book was certainly a worthy successor to the previous books. A great blend of intrigue, magic, evil witches, heroic sacrifice, and just a touch of romance makes the book a fun read. I would recommend it to any fan of fantasy! Well done Carol Marrs Phipps!


This accident 1.) happened about a year 2.) ago in Valencia and it had a very big impact on me when I 3.) heard about it. I don´t know why it happened, all I know is that one very big car, which possibly 4.) ran a red light, 5.) hit this young girl who was going to the university.
The impact was 6.) so strong that she was sent flying to her 7.) death.
Today, as I was walking my dog, I saw the that some flowers had been put on the bike where the accident had happened - today it 8.) must be her birthday which she will never celebrate 9.) again.
10.) As I like to ride my bike I see more and more people riding bikes to work or school, I know that I have to be 11.) really careful, 12.) although I´m going along the 13.) bike way.
There are 14.) drivers who are really 15.) blind and don´t even 16.) bother to stop or look if there´s somebody crossing the street with a bike. A lot of drivers don´t stop 17.) even though the cyclists have the 18.) right of way and the yellow 19.) warning light is 20.) flashing right in front of their 21.) faces.
I don´t know 22.) how many accidents happen everyday 23.) envolving cars and bicycles in Valencia - but I´m sure there must be a lot of accidents.
In memory of this girl and others who have died in accidents, this song is by The Jonas brothers called "Dear God"
Can You help me out? Me puedes ayudar?
in you anyway?" en ti de todas formas"
they're all running from? que todos están huyendo?


Brains taste kind of like a turkey burger. I learned this at Lollipop Chainsaw party held by Warner Brothers Interactive last night at GDC 2012, where James Gunn — the Dawn of the Dead screenwriter who's writing the horror action game — and designer Suda 51 were in attendance.
The ground turkey brains and other terror-themed treats like tombstone cookies were passed around by undead waitstaff caked in very well-done zombie make-up. The highlight of the Lollipop party, however, was a photo-ready crew of gory high school students who posed with a lookalike of game heroine Juliet. Check out the gallery above to see Juliet, a really tall jock zombie and the other monstrosities from the Chainsaw festivities.
Oh Suda. You so crazy.
