Summer Chemistry Internship Pushed Two Juniorsby Kyle Bender '12 • August 12, 2010 Share:
A unique research project put two Wabash chemistry majors out of their comfort zones this summer.
Shane Evans '12 and Seth Bawel '12 spent an eight week internship under Chemistry professor Ann Taylor. The duo worked primarily with a number of plants, researching how different types of bacteria will affect the organisms and how other variables such as herbs and spices interact with plants.
For the juniors, the internship required more biology knowledge than either possessed. Both agree the hands-on experience allowed them to quickly pick up on the biology terminology and succeed.
Bawel, who recently received the Howell Chemistry Award for excellence, believes the approach demonstrates the responsibilities and expectations demanded of a Wabash student.
"We came in and had to overcome a big learning curve," he said. "With no collegiate biology exposure, we needed to learn the procedures before we could continue with our research. Once we began, the whole DNA interaction process really attracted me and sparked a new interest."
Evans, who will study abroad in Spain this coming fall, agrees.
"It really allowed us to learn more about plants and what they do for themselves," he said. "We saw what kind of defense mechanisms they create and how the chemicals within herbs and spices can affect a plant."
As both pursue careers in science, they know the research experience will help them in the future.
"This type of project will look great on my medical school application," Evans said. "Not only has it allowed me to improve my lab skills, but I have also learned how to work more efficiently and accurately. Seth and I were able to go from work in the lab three hours a week during the school year to eight hours of lab work a day, five days a week during this internship."
Bawel plans to seek a career in the chemical industry. Dow AgroSciences, a top-tier agricultural company based in Indianapolis, regularly has similar research projects.
"What we're doing is essentially agricultural science," Bawel said. "To be able to put this experience on my resume will help me tremendously when applying for future jobs or internships."
Spending a whole summer working alongside Taylor also served as an additional benefit.
"She is my academic advisor so I feel like I already had a personal relationship with her," Evans said. "Working for a summer on a college campus allows students to see professors more as just everyday people. For example, we were able to have dinner at her house and meet her family."
The two are already looking forward to the 2011 spring semester, when they will enroll in the Biochemistry course taught by Professor Walter Novak.
"We've basically been undergoing biochem experiments all summer," Bawel said. "I'm anxious to put the knowledge we've learned to use in the classroom."

We've been down this road several times now over the last five years: President Obama proposes – with much fanfare – transportation infrastructure spending plans that ultimately go nowhere.
Yet the President is again preparing to roll out a new plan aimed at beefing up funding for transportation infrastructure: proposing a four-year, $302 billion highway bill that would get half of its funding via a corporate tax overhaul – a suggestion he made last year – which is in line with a "strategic vision" he outlined in his State of the Union speech back in January.
Obama plans to lay out the details for his latest infrastructure proposal during a speech in St. Paul, MN, today, while also using the podium to highlight a new program being launched by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to help spur "innovation" in the transportation sector.
The President also expects to announce what's being called a "competition" for $600 million in grants for local transportation projects nationwide during his appearance today.
Yet many of the same difficulties encountered by the President's previous infrastructure funding proposals await this one, not in the least the reluctance on the part of both parties to raise taxes of any sort to pay for such spending.
[As an aside, Bud Wright, executive director for the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, laid out some of the consequences regarding such an "anti-tax" stance in a speech last year.]
As a result, many studies conducted upon the issue of how to increase transportation infrastructure funding – like this one released in January this year – are now focusing more on state-led initiatives versus top-down federal government programs.
How will the chips end up falling for President Obama's latest transport infrastructure plan? We're sure to find that out fairly quickly in the coming days.

Harry Redknapp – please shut up
How dare he? How dare this man, who has flirted with the England manager's job since before it even became available, undermine our club… my club, by talking about the future of our best player, when he… this media Succubus, is unlikely to be even at the helm come the summer? So enraged am I, that I've done the only thing any middle-class football fan worth his salt would do; write a strongly-worded letter to the club.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing with regard to the recent undermining nature of our manager's press conferences; not just undermining the players but, more importantly, the club and fans.
Harry Redknapp has always had a reputation for being cosy with the media. Complaints about him have ranged from disrespecting other clubs by talking about their players whilst still under contract, to referring to the Tottenham Hotspur fan-base as "them". He has, of course, ticked both of these boxes in the last seven days, but this is the tip of the iceberg. Please allow me to present some quotes from just the last week of press conferences:
"We haven't got the biggest squad. Chelsea made eight changes to play Arsenal and still looked good. I only had one striker and two centre halves — Ledley King and William Gallas — and if one of those got injured I was bang in trouble and would have had to use Bongani Khumalo, who has been on loan at Reading this season and didn't get in their side. We were desperate. I had five central defenders and now I have only two. I have lost Dawson, Kaboul and Nelsen."
Where to start with this? Firstly, the size of the squad is entirely within his control – his hand was on the trigger finger in January when he let Corluka, Pienaar, and Pavlyuchenko leave, as well as younger players (like Townsend, Carroll and Kane) who had all impressed in the Europa League.
Secondly, it is incredible that he can bemoan losing Ryan Nelsen, who has grown increasingly injury prone throughout his career, and had only managed one match this season prior to joining us due to ongoing injury issues.
Finally, I was in utter disbelief when I read the reference to Bongani Khumalo. Not only is Bongani Khumalo a Harry Redknapp signing (or at least someone brought in under his reign); not only is he from our partnership club in South Africa, SuperSport United (and therefore these comments could be damaging to the club relations and marketing opportunities); not only is he a member of the squad that may well yet be needed (it is vital to keep spirits up amongst squad players – what must the others who didn't make the bench think?); but he is human – this is a totally unnecessary slight. He has used Bongani as a tool to indicate to the chairman and fans that he is down to the "bare bones" (as he likes to say), and so it cannot possibly be his fault that we lost last week. At least Darren Bent can now rest easily knowing that it was nothing personal.
"I said to the chairman 'Can you get me Carlos Tevez'. It wasn't possible, but that was my dream, 'Can we get Tevez'. We would have loved Tevez, but it wasn't doable because his wages are whatever they are – £200,000 a week, it's not possible at Tottenham to buy him."
Carlos Tevez is under contract with Manchester City and so, firstly, it is totally disrespectful to him and them to discuss him openly like this – particularly matters of finance. In addition, I have no idea what planet Mr Redknapp is on if he thought that a rival club were going to sell us a key player in the January transfer window (bearing in mind the position we were in at the time), and that Tevez would join a club who pay a maximum of under half his wages. Finally, it is absolutely vital that a club of our stature, who pay top wages but not top wages think outside the box when it comes to transfers – was Tevez 'Plan A', and Saha 'Plan B'? I personally find that concerning, and this comment shows Mr Redknapp as, at best, naive in the transfer market.
"No players have ever come to me and said: 'Gaffer I feel tired'. If they said that then I would have left them out. Some of their stats have gone down but that's because they have not wanted to run about enough, it's not because they are particularly knackered. I didn't play any of them in the Uefa Cup [sic], FA Cup, most of them didn't play until the later rounds so, the players have probably played on average 30 games this year which I don't think is a lot. Frank Lampard plays how many games a season? Ashley Cole, Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra are not being rotated, so it's a load of nonsense. It's an excuse."
Firstly, Mr Redknapp is very wrong with his estimation of how many games our players have played – Walker has played 41, Assou-Ekotto 39, Bale 37, Modric 36, Kaboul 35, etc. Nine players have played 30 games or more, with four matches to go.
Ignoring that, his lack of understanding of fatigue, both mental and physical, is not only concerning, but must be a constant worry to the players, who need their bodies and minds in elite condition to maximise their earning potential. Speaking about tiredness in this way is not only patronising, but actually dangerous. The likes of Walker and Assou-Ekotto have had a big dip in form, which most fans agree is at least in part due to tiredness due to lack of rotation, but Mr Redknapp would rather blame the players than his own selection policy – "they have not wanted to run about enough". Yet he himself spoke about the dangers of Scott Parker damaging a hamstring after the Norwich game – Parker is one of the players whose form has dipped most significantly due to over-use.
Mr Redknapp then changes his mind.
'It's my decision. It's difficult to rotate a team. It's okay to rotate if you have enough players to do it but I have not been in that position due to injuries.
Now the reason is not that he doesn't want to rotate because the players don't need to be rested, but because he hasn't got enough players due to injury. At this point I feel I need to mention Corluka, Pienaar, etc again.
I saved my personal favourite on rotation until last.
"I don't ever remember Bobby Moore getting rotated, nor Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters, Dave Mackay or Alan Mullery. They played ankle deep in mud every week."
As a fan of our great club, I find myself cringing whenever Mr Redknapp takes to the floor, but none more so than having read this. Having played football during the 60s himself, he must realise that today's game is far quicker, more intense, and puts a lot more strain on the body. The pitches that he references slowed the game down and meant that it was played at a fraction of the pace that matches are played at now. Today's hard, flat pitches are great for the spectator, but mean that the players have to put more into a match. His apparent lack of understanding of modern football – or perhaps it isn't that, perhaps it's that he doesn't like the way football has evolved – is a huge concern.
A lot of fans agree with Mr Redknapp's comments about players not getting tired having played 30 games, etc. "It's only one game a week for 30 weeks! How can they be tired?!" That attitude is totally missing the point. Players do not just need to be "not tired" – they need to be managed so that they are as close to their peak physical condition as possible, and this is where sports science should be used throughout the club. An extra 10% can be the difference between 3 points and 0 points.
And finally.
"Last summer it was vital that we kept hold of Luka. I don't think we will have to do it with people like Gareth Bale this summer. Luka, it's different with him. I don't know what he would do. I would be lying if I said I was sure that he would stay. You don't know."
The game this weekend is massive for the club. The manager, staff and players need to pull together and ensure that we get a win so that we can finish the season strongly. Commenting on the future of one of our key players in this way – hinting that he may leave this summer – is not only totally unnecessary, but potentially destructive. Not only this, it sends a message to Champions League clubs – Luka Modric is available for transfer. The correct way to answer any questions about Modric's future would have been:
"I don't want to speak about any contract or transfer situations at the moment – we have an important match to focus on". If he was so desperate to comment on Modric's future, he could even have said "Mr Levy decides when he lets contracted players leave, and any move would be with the best interest of the club in mind."
In closing, I ask that you immediately relieve Mr Redknapp of his duties. And by duties, I mean press conference duties – let Kevin Bond do them for the rest of the season. Or Chirpy.
Yours faithfully,
I have just said exactly that on another forum …. one minute he is saying are star players won't leave and now he is saying he doesn't no just keep your mouth shut and get on with your job!!!
Quite right.
Spot On. You only missed out one part of the cunning Redcrap plan. To screw Spurs season so badly that he forces Levy's hand to sack him. Then Redcrap goes to the FA and says , right you don't have to pay them compensation now, we can a nice little deal offshore with what you have saved. This is the numbered account you pay 50% into.
Ha! In all seriousness, I doubt Levy will sack Redknapp (too expensive).
Agree absolutely, Windy. This bloke has got a mouth as wide as BOTH Blackwell tunnels ……… thanks for what you did do, 'Arry, but now go.
If he doesn't go to England, I bet we have another year of him at least.
He's gone in 4 games – either to England or the the Jobseekers centre. Let's just get behind the TEAM and cheer them to the rafters. Levy is not afraid to make the big decisions. We will get a top quality manager, of that I am sure.
Nice! Personally I think he'd be too expensive to sack.
Wasn't he just using the Khumalo loan move to highlight more bad luck? (Could have picked up some good experience but didn't)
But the way it came across… just horrible, no reason to say it at all.
Fantastic article Windy, thanks. I think it says a lot when fans like yourself who know the club from the bottom up (and aren't partial to knee jerking) reach this conclusion.
The best Redknapp related quote I have seen recently stated 'We have done well in spite of Harry not because of him'. Sums it up perfectly in my opinion, we have one of the most talented squads in the Premier League. Best of luck with England Harry, thanks for the memories…
Appreciate the kind comments! I tend to agree with that second comment too, mate.
I do wish he would put the club's interest first when he comes to instigating these stories. It was not in the clubs best interest to release this Modric speculation. Also, I will never forgive him for not coming out and pouring cold water over the England managers job. He could have helped our cause by giving full commitment to the club. Behind closed doors he, Levy and England could have hatched up their own plans for his imminent new role. Please shut up and pull the party line ……. the club has been good to you.
Totally agree with all you have said there.
Excellent article, Windy! I agree with all that was said, and I am all for Chirpy on press conference duty!
Shame he didn't come out for the post-match today.
I agree. Redknapp should cut back on the bullshiet and start thinking like a club manager again. And ffs would you stop bale from staying in the centre all the time when we so need him to send crosses in from the left flank. Ty.
I noticed he spent too much time on the right today as well.
The Modric comment the day of one of our season defining matches is unbelieveable, sometimes think Arry is brain dead.
What does that say to Modric, yes we will let you go at the end of the season and we the fans have to go through all that crap again all summer about whether he is leaving again !!!!
Utterly ridiculous.
Even if it's already signed and sealed, keep quiet about it.
As a Pompey fan, we were saying very similar things about him towards the end of his tenure and when he jumped ship to join Spurs. Literally the week before, he had said he would never leave us, the club is in my blood blah blah waffle waffle. When we complained about this, a significant proportion of your fellow fans accused us of bitterness and jealousy. Even Redknapp was of the attitudes of 'I don't know what I've done wrong". Everything he has said above, he has replicated over the history of his management career and now I'm not surprised that he is doing the same to Spurs…. Blamingothers, bare bones, signing equally as many shite players as he did good ones… I give you Collins Mbasuma, £6m for Nugent and others who were so bad I can't remember their names, an over-reliance on older players, poor tactics etc. This is also the man regularly lauded by the media as being a fantastic man manager – yeah right! He would mug his own granny if it served his own purposes… He will happily see Spurs go to rack and ruin so long as it serves him well and he can blame someone else for it… The man is an out and out sociopath. You're better off without him.
Very well said, nice summary of the issues.
Of course he has his good points, but I think he has taken Spurs as far as he can and will now.
Please for the sake of our Spurs get rid of him ASAP, he should in my opinion get a job on the press, seeing as they love him so much as he dosen't know how to manage good players.
Can you imagine him on Super Sunday in 3 years time, having hilarious banter with his son? Ugh.
i agree with all that's been said . one of the biggest things is his never had the club in his hart [Westham yes ][ Pompe ? ]spurs no it has always been a job to him . good help England.
Agreed, it's all about Harry.
I'm starting to get the same sweeping feeling of nausea when I see his face or him speak like I do when I see or hear Wenger
Blimey! I wouldn't go that far (yet!).
Fantastic article, spot on. Let's not forget how 'Arry constantly praises the opponents prior to a kick-off thus doing the opposing manager's job for them. Just watch his press conference today, I can hear it now "Kean is a fantastic manager who has done a great job" and "Rovers are a dangerous side it will be a tough game for us that's for sure." What must our players think when they hear that, and they do hear it before taking to the pitch! You never hear anything like that coming from Moyes, Wenger, Ferguson etc they all too busy praising their own teams and building them up. Personally, I hope Rednapp goes and, being an English man, not for the top job because he'll do to England what he has done to Portsmouth and Spurs.
I totally agree with all of your comments. Very frustrating every time he gets behind a mic.
Ben likes this.
It was all for you, mate, all for you 😀
Excellent article, hitting the nail squarley on the head. Diplomacy is not a word that I think that Redknapp is aquainted with. There are many times in life when silence is golden, or at least not saying things that do not need to be said.
While I am writing does anyone agree with me that some players also do not help the situation. I see Bale has been REPORTED as saying if we don't qualify for the Champions League he will have to consider his future. My point being that the players, who happily accept all the glory when it comes their way should also accept some of the responsibility when things go badly. I accept he cannot be a world beater every game but he has hardly covered himself in glory these last few weeks, same goes for Modric. It's like they are holding the club to ransom while not giving everything to make sure we do qualifym it just causes alot of unrest and uncertaintiy.
I totally agree with your comments on Bale – should have kept quiet.
I wonder whether Redknapp takes a percentage of any transfer dealings? If so it would make economical sense to get Modric unsettled & out of the door before his own exit.
All speculation……..of course!?
Blimey, I wonder…
Amazing use of the word 'Succubus'. I had to look that up.
I think finding out what % of transfer money finds its way into Rosie's account would make for interesting reading.
Very! Is Levy that stupid?
Harry has no tactical knowledge, at least not enough to be a title winner. His open attacking football at a stage in the season when all his players are so very obviously tired is a complete and utter disaster!
When we've lost confidence he should have been picking a 4-5-1 and grinding out results.
Top notch Windy. Agree with you 100%.
Maybe getting in Raymond Verheijen would be a good idea for the injury/tiredness aspect.
Absolutely agree!
In total agreement, now can't wait to see the back of him, he's become a total liability!
The tide is turning…
We started off with 2 points from 8 games and thats how the bastard is trying to leave us.
Haha I think you're right!
Sorry Windy, FUCK OFF REDKNAPP YOU DUMB TROUTFACE CUNT.
What about his want of Chelsea to win the Cl without knowing that it could cost us Cl and then backtracking yesterday saying he wants Bayern to win.
Get Roberto Martinez in quickly.
I like Martinez too, think he's a very interesting proposition.
tactics none ,man management skills none ,ideas none ,press conference highs none just wish harry GONE
I'm starting to feel this way too.
did harry first want chelsea to win, and when he got hold of the rules, he wanted bayern to win? seriously???? how STUPID is it alaowed to be before one get banned from talking to the media in this club. i now know why lavy is bold, like homer simpson, levy is pulling his hair out every time redschnapps is in the media. my god for an idiot!!!!!!!
Those comments were utterly clueless, weren't they?
Yep, I had exactly the same reaction when I checked Newsnow on friday only to see the latest Modric and Bale speculation. My first words were "Just shut the F*CK UP, 'Arry!"
The win today may help concentrate the players' minds, give them some confidence, belief and focus.
Who knows, maybe now that Roy looks like getting the England job, Redknapp might realise which side his bread is buttered and get on with the job at hand and stop mugging off the fans and players at every opportunity. Ultimately, through his own wreckless pursuit of the England job, he may just have mugged himself off too.
Great blog, Windy. Excellent analysis as always.
Good letter Windy. Hopefully today's win will help rebuild team morale and confidence which has probably been severely damaged over the last couple of months through stupid tactics and media comment from a seemingly very self centred man chasing anotherr job. Hopefully the announcement of Hodgeson being interviewed will help to focus Harry's mind on his current job.
If you need material for a follow up letter, my personal favourite was :
Ben Pearce @BenPearceSpurs
#thfc Redknapp also said he doesn't have a right-back on the books other than Walker
Naughton (loan to Norwich) Corluka (loan to Germany), and Smith ('damn he came back from loan and I put him on the bench at QPR and forgot about him')
Spurs have got more right backs on their books than ever before. Adam Smith has played a few games for England under 21's so is a reasonable back up candidate – its a bit like the Borgani Khumalo quote from the other day, how to inspire confidence in your fringe players and get them to want to play for you….not.
People Management technique 0/10. Foot into mouth technique 11/10
All we need to do now, is to hope for two things:
1/. We make something, anything, positive come out at the end of this season.
2/. The – ' ARRY SHOW ' is sent back to the lanes of mediocrity and 'back street' notoriety from where this insufferably insular and fame craved man derrives.. ( IM A CELEBRITY , GET ME OUT OF HERE !)
This is the only thing that should be carved in to his 'stella cv' , as a reference from Levy..
3/. Pertaining to (number two), that he and his team of coaches are shown the door or the stairs come the end of the season.
You have been most eloquent and very balanced in your summary..he has shown nothing but ; petulance – unyielding derision for our fans (since managing sol at pompey)and most of all, bungling ineptitude since being PRIVILEGED enough to walk the same path as A 'SPURS MAN'.
Cannot wait to see what a real manager can do with this group of players..this gobshi** has not got the balls the nous or the dignity to be in charge at the lane.
*GO on HOdgson
On the way to the game I was telling my friend that I wished Redknapp would just shut up. He has some form of Tourette's that makes him utter banalities at the sight of a microphone. I'm afraid that you missed out his pièce de résistance: after the FA semi-final he slated the quality of the bench, the bench from which he sent on GDS today (who had a bright cameo, I thought). Now that, my keen diarist, is what you call a WHAT-THE-FUCK moment.
Re. today, it seemed that we may have got some of our mojo back, but in the final third of the pitch the players seemed very shot-shy. Adebayor especially, for all his excellent link-up play, just needs to leather it. The only fly in the ointment was that Blackburn were atrocious.
Fantastic letter, i so hope you send this to Levy.
I can't believe how crazy some Spurs fans are. Do you not remember how well you were doing before Rednapp got the job? Bale was no where near the player he is now and neither was Modric. A lot of your starting 11 was there before Rednapp got the job and no one could have predicted that you would have challenged for the league. That means that Rednapp being the brilliant man manager that he is, helped develop Bale into the best left sided player in the league when before he couldn't even get into your first 11? Same gos for Modric. Who would you rather have? Mourinho won't take it and Moyes would struggle to match him. As for talking about players being over used, how often do you see Messi or Ronaldo on the bench? Hardly ever and both have scored over 60 goals. You say that league has become faster which is true, but players fitness levels are better and the medical departments much more developed so it levels out. Also Mancini was talking about a lack of depth as was Mourinho at one stage.. this is just a way of managers protecting their team from being over criticised. The only thing that I would really agree on is the manner in which he pubically talks about players at other clubs. And I enjoy his press conferences. He's humerous and interesting to listen to.
No one has forgotten how dire things were before Redknapp. Myself, I wish he would not say anything. As for your statements about Bale and Modríc, well they are false. The whole of the EPL knew about Bale. Have you forgotten that ManUre were also after him? The same about Modríc, he was already being touted as being a world-beater. You cannot equate La Liga with the EPL, outside 5 sides, it is far inferior.
The simple fact is Redknapp does rotate, it is nothing new. Those that are in the mix have done so because of injuries. Kranjčar came to Spurs to cover Modríc and Lennon, to which the latter got injured and he was given a chance. The same for Sandro, who Redknapp was willing to pace his arrival to English football. Sandro showed against Blackburn that we didn't have to overuse Parker. The same can said of Livermore. Spurs have an abundance of riches in positions, yet they aren't used, or are loaned out or better yet, sold. Had Redknapp rotated players Spurs would still be in third, this is something I can say with absolute certainty.
Sorry, DOES NOT rotate.
From the comments I have made here in the past its no secret that I have felt for a long time that lack of rotation has cost us in player fatigue and youth developement. Corluka has since said the same so its nice to have an opinion that's shared with someone in the setup be it the right one or not.
I was then typing into this very box on monday about how Rose finished last season with promise and has stagnated if not strayed backwards in the last twelve months just by not playing a game every so often, and then a spate of reports reporting Rose saying the same thing appeared.
So being a footy fan and a superstitious one at that I can see this run of three thing I'm just going to type 'Unknown Man with Internet persona called bonse wins a million' and sit back to collect.
It can't hurt.
Also, lets get back to the rapid two touch countering and less of this tippy tappy school yard stuff trying to put every ball through the center backs legs, Bolton won't fall for it.

Thanks for the thought, James, but I'll leave it for now. Cheers though.
What a differencve two games make.
We look likely to finish fourth, posssibly third, in which case we can enjoy the CL final.
Harry won't be going anywhere.
I've never been a Harry man but his record with the club is second to none, literally.
I think you slagged him off a little prematurely which is the crime you accuse him of doing.
I don't disagree at all with the sentiments expressed and believe that Harry's mouth and the attitude which it reveals is an embarrassment to the club.
But we still have two crucial games to go Windy and as always at Spurs anything can happen.
He's almost certain to be with us for another year.
As Stephen Stills wrote in 1970
'If you can't be with the one you love,
Love the one you're with'
Hello Jimmy, hope you're well.
Totally agree with his record on the playing side being second to none, but it's just frustrating that with a few subtle changes it could be that bit better.
Love the Stephen Stills reference!
[…] and actually the way he was managing the team for the final six months of his reign too. I wrote this at the end of April detailing some of my thoughts on Redknapp – things went further downhill […]
[…] such changes ourselves. In defence of Levy there have been some mitigating circumstances – Harry Redknapp was a gobshite, for example, and he was most likely removed for non-football […]

Elephant dung beer sells out almost immediately
We've seen beer brewed from everything from facial hair to bull testicles. Now you can add half-digested coffee beans picked out of elephants' dung to the list.
Recently Japanese brewery Sankt Gallen introduced Un, Kono Kuro, a brew made from coffee beans that have passed through an elephant (there is no actual poop in the beer)--a technique that breaks down proteins in the coffee bean, giving the beer a smooth, earthy flavor.
According to RocketNews24, Sankt Gallen sold out of the brew on the first day of its sale, which was on April Fools' Day (no joke).
So how did it taste? Apparently, pretty good, according to RocketNews24.
"The combination of bitter and sweet stayed fresh and lingered in my head. It was a familiar aroma that accompanied me through the entire beer."
The pricey beans, called Black Ivory, comes from Thailand's Golden Triangle Elephant Foundation, the same people that created the $50 cup of elephant dung coffee. Needless to say, you won't find Un, Kono Kuro in too many U.S. supermarkets.

This week we've seen downloads and OS ROMs for the HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S3, and even the not-yet-shipping Samsung Galaxy S4. So what's all the fuss about? Well, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, released in November, is the most ambitious and feature-rich version yet, and is chock-full of mouth-watering goodness for developers, VARs and other solution providers. Here's a taste of the top 10 toothsome tidbits for app-builders to sink their teeth into.

WASHINGTON — President Obama has a variety of ways he can make good on his threat to make Russia pay "costs" for its military intervention in Ukraine.
But it's not clear any of them will make a difference to Russian President Vladimir Putin, or whether they might simply underscore the United States' relatively weak hand in the unfolding Ukraine crisis.
The U.S. and its European allies can take steps to isolate Russia diplomatically, which would undermine Putin's claim that his country is again ascendant as a world leader. They can also take steps that would pinch the Russian elite, which relishes its access to Western Europe.
Some of the moves would sting....

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is testing a new approach to screening new entrants into the business, in hopes of saving money and improving efficiency.
In July the agency began a year-long test of a pre-screening process designed to identify high-risk applicants that need an on-site safety review and give low-risk applicants a way to file their information electronically.
The agency used to have 18 months to audit all new entrants but under the transportation law passed by Congress last year it must conduct the audits within a year.
The agency said it does more than 34,000 new-entrant audits each year, a number that has increased each year over the past three and is expected to continue growing.
It has completed between 87% and 92% of the audits on time over the last several years, and between 65% and 74% of the applicants have passed their audits, the agency said.
In the test, which is being conducted in five states and five Canadian provinces, certain carriers are automatically targeted for on-site inspections, while others have the opportunity to electronically submit information about their safety programs.
Targeted companies include passenger carriers, carriers that have hazmat violations at roadside inspections and carriers with one or more CSA scores above the intervention threshold. Also targeted are new entrants that have violated rules covering licensing, out-of-service orders, hazmats and drugs and alcohol.
New entrants that clear this screening are being sent letters explaining that they can submit their information to a safety audit website.
If the carrier has an adequate safety management program, the agency will skip the onsite safety audit. If it doesn't, the agency will schedule an onsite audit. If it doesn't respond, the agency can revoke its registration.
The test is being conducted in California, Florida, Illinois, Montana and New York. Agency staff in Montana and New York are using the procedures for Canadian carriers based in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec.
Details are in Wednesday's Federal Register.

Cart is empty
This is a sensational prickly, low deciduous shrub. It has outstanding, bright golden foliage that, unlike many other golden leafed varieties, will not scorch in the sun. This makes it ideal for growing in a sunny spot of the garden.
It has a naturally upright growth habit and can be also be used as a hedging plant (planting 60 to 90cm apart to form a dense hedge).
Eventual Height (?)What does this mean?
Eventual Height
You can expect the plant to somewhere within this estimate. It is given as a guide but can vary dependant on several factors such as soil quality and position. 1m - 1.5m
- Flower Colour (?)What does this mean?
Flower Colour
Flowers come in a vast variety of colours from pure white to almost black. Colour can be affected by a number of factors including environment and diet. Use the photographs as a guide but expect variations.Yellow
Eventual Spread (?)What does this mean?
Eventual Spread
You can expect the plant to spread somewhere within this range estimate. It is given as a guide but can vary dependant on several factors such as soil quality and position. 0.5m - 1m
Flowering Time (?)What does this mean?
Flowering Time
A plants development is synchronised with the changing seasons and flowering is one of several changes that occur at the appropriate time of year dependent on the specific plant. While our meteorological seasons are defined by specific dates; there can be two or the weeks difference in the start and end of the horticultural 'season' between the north and south of the UK. Spring
Foliage (?)What does this mean?
Plants that have leaves all year round are classified as evergreen. They can however lose leaves sporadically throughout the year.
Deciduous plants drop their leaves in autumn, look bare in winter and put out new leaves again in spring. Some plants such a Beech retain their dead leaves until the new spring growth.
There are exceptions, some plant drop their leaves in cold winters but keep them if it is mild. These are classified as Semi-evergreen.
- Position (?)What does this mean?
Full Sun
Six or more full hours of direct sunlight but don't forget to water.
Partial Shade
Two or three hours either in early morning or late evening sun. Very limited exposure to midday sun.
Dense Shade
Usually no more than two hours direct sunlight. Usually under dense trees, shurbs or in shade cast by buildings/fences etc.Full sun, Partial shade
- Growth Rate Slow to average
- Soil pH (?)What does this mean?
Soil with a pH between 1 and 7 is classed as acid, ericaceous plants such as Rhododendrons need acid soil.
A neutral pH which is around 7, will be suitable for most plants. Clay soils tend to be neutral.
Soil with a pH between 7 and 14 are refereed to as Alkaline. Chalky soil is usually Alkaline. Acid, Neutral, Alkaline
Hardiness (?)What does this mean?
Fully Hardy
Hardy in most places throughout the UK even in severe winters (to -15)
Half Hardy
Hardy throughout most of the UK (to -10)
Frost Hardy
Hardy in coastal and relatively mild parts of UK (to -5) Fully Hardy
- Soil Type (?)What does this mean?
Chalky or lime-rich soils may be light or heavy, largely made up of calcium carbonate and are very alkaline.
Clay soils are potentially fertile and hold a high proportion of water. They drain slowly and take longer to warm up in spring.
Loam soils are s mixture of clay, sand and silt that avoid the extremes of clay or sandy soils. Fertile, well-drained and easily worked.
Sandy soils have a low clay content, drain quickly, easy to cultivate and work. They can dry out quickly and are low in plant nutrients. Often very acidic.Chalk, Clay, Loam, Sand
- Fragranced No
- Soil Moisture (?)What does this mean?
Well Drained
Well-drained soil allows water to percolate through reasonably quickly without pooling. Well drained soil can often be dry and lack nutrients.
Poorly Drained
Poorly Drained soil is usually saturated periodically during the growing season and remains wet for several days at a time. Saturated soil can deprive roots of oxygen.
Moist Well Drained
A moist well drained soil is the best of both worlds by combining high permeability with the ability to retain moisture. Adding well rotted organic matter to dry or wet soil will help improve both these characteristics.Moist Well-drained, Well-drained
Buying Shrubs from Jacksons Nurseries
At Jacksons Nurseries we sell a variety of shrubs both evergreen and deciduous with a variety of flowering times throughout the year. At certain times of the year our shrubs you buy from us may not look like the images shown on our website when deciduous leaves have fallen, the shrub has finished flowering or has been trimmed back.
Some leaves on evergreen shrubs can be damaged in winter by frost or harsh winds but in spring new leaves will readily replace those damaged. This is quite normal on many evergreen varieties and is preferable to plants grown with excessive protection that show cold shock once planted out and establish less satisfactory initially.

Shrubs are deciduous or evergreen woody plants, and often provide fragrant flowers, berries and foliage. They are good for structural framework, and they can provide a wonderful shelter and food source for wildlife.
Planting and Conditions
Container grown shrubs can be grown at any time of year. It is a little known fact that shrubs planted in the autumn and winter will be easier to look after than those planted in the spring and summer, because they will have time to establish and become hardy in the cooler months.
Plant the shrub at the same depth as it was in its original pot. Planting too deeply can result in root and stem rot.
One of the biggest causes of death in new shrubs is drought stress, so keep it well watered until it's established.
Make sure you loosen the soil prior to planting. Most shrubs are tolerant of most soil types as long as it is fairly well draining.
Most shrubs will grow happily in containers, but they will be much more demanding on feeding and watering than shrubs in the ground would be. They will also need potting on every couple of years so that they don't suffocate or become stunted in their pot.
Aftercare and Pruning
Once established, shrubs generally do not require much water. However, at first they need careful, frequent watering and should not be left to dry out.
Shrubs in the ground are generally not demanding and in most cases, annual feeding with general purpose fertilizer will suffice. Shrubs in containers may need more feeding; usually from early spring until late summer.
Shrubs also benefit from mulching in order to supress weeds, conserve moisture and provide vital nutrients. Mulch also greatly improves soil conditions. Shrubs can be mulched in late winter, after fertiliser has been applied, but it can be mulched through autumn to late spring as long as the ground is damp.
All shrubs benefit from dead-heading once spent flowers become apparent. Rhododendrons and Lilac especially benefit from the removal of dead flowers.
Some shrubs may show signs of reverted growth or 'sporting'. This is where random shoots of different leaves associated with the plant's parentage begin to appear. Most commonly this is where plants with variegated leaves sprout pure green growths instead of variegated ones.
To control reversion, remove reverted shoots promptly to discourage them. Reverted shoots are usually much more vigorous than the variegated ones, and thus should be completely pruned out and cut back into wood containing variegated foliage.
Potential Issues
Although shrubs are usually very robust garden plants, they can sometimes start to decline with no apparent or obvious reason.
This will start with browning leaves, which could indicate plant stress due to lack of water or waterlogging, an establishment failure or, in the worst case scenario, honey fungus. Another cause of leaf browning is a high salt content in the soil. This could be a natural occurrence, especially if you live near the ocean, or it could be from over fertilisation.
To remedy a high salt content, cut back on fertiliser and step up your watering regime for the next few weeks. If you live by the ocean, this will be harder to remedy—but stepping up your watering will help to wash some of the salt away all the same.

The restaurant Meson de la Cava opened its doors in 1967. Since that time it has been one of Santo Domingo's most popular restaurants for both Dominican and tourist from all over the world. It is situated in a natural lime stone cave. Created Millions of years ago by the "Waves Action" when the coast line hugged this cliff.
The numerous caves along the cliff sheltered many different types of people through its long history. Remains of the native Taino Indians have been discovered here along with Pirates and Buccaneers who used this caves as a "Hideout" in preparation for their frequent assaults on the city of Santo Domingo.
The Dominican Republic is a nation on the island of Hispaniola, part of the Greater Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean region. The western third of the island is occupied by the nation of Haiti, making Hispaniola one of two Caribbean islands, along with Saint Martin, that are shared by two countries. Both by area and population, the Dominican Republic is the second largest Caribbean nation (after Cuba), with 48,442 square kilometres (18,704 sq mi) and an estimated 10 million people.Source:Wikipedia

We've written about various news articles, often in small local newspapers, writing ridiculous, fearful stories about wardrivers, suggesting that they can do all sorts of nefarious things. For some reason, it seems that plenty of people who don't understand wireless technology absolutely assume the worst about wardriving, when the details make that very hard to support. Remember the case where a guy was arrested for: (a) driving the wrong way down a one way street (b) driving without any pants on (c) using a laptop while driving (d) using that laptop to download child porn (e) which he accessed via a free WiFi connection -- and it was the use of the unsecured WiFi access point that got all the attention? There just seems to be something about people using an open WiFi network that sets people off in the wrong direction. The latest, as is being discussed at both Broadband Reports and WiFi Networking News, is a silly story about somebody getting arrested and charged with a felony just for surfing the internet from his car over someone's open WiFi network. The article goes on and on and on about the evils of wardriving, while briefly mentioning towards the end that it isn't always to do anything illegal or bad. Of course, it spends plenty of time talking about how people could war drive and do something illegal and never get caught -- never once noting the irony that the whole point of this article is because someone got caught. As we've pointed out before, the idea that using an open network is bad because criminals would never get caught is a total red herring, as plenty of more traditional means of detective work can still be used to track down the criminal. Just because something can make you anonymous, doesn't mean it automatically is illegal. Wouldn't the same argument be used againt any anonymizer sites? Also, as Glenn points out at WNN, some (though, not many) ISPs encourage users to open up their WiFi and let people use it -- so it's even entirely possible that this guy was doing something that was allowed. Whether or not he was doing anything else illegal is a different question -- but simply accessing the WiFi doesn't seem likely to have harmed anyone, but you wouldn't know that from reading the press coverage.

WardrivingNot all wardriving articles are about the fact that its inherently evil or 100% focusing on the wrong things. There are some that seem reasonably fair. Of course in all fairness I was mentioned in the article, so maybe I am somewhat biased. The Sacramento Bee (normally a FUD paper) did an article which made the front page July 4, 2005. Use dontbugme.com if you dont want to register, get the firefox plugin if you want to make it easier :)
While the cop said that mere possession of a cantenna (and presumably every directional antenna for wifi) is illegal which is totally false. Ham radio has authority to use wifi frequencies, and they are encouraged to make their own, but you can buy a canister antenna if you dont want to build one, and you do *not* have to be a ham radio operator to legally possess an antenna.
There were basically two views presented, law enforcement - that its 100% illegal, possession of equipment which *could* be used for it is illegal, and all that, and those of 3 different security experts. Josh and myself rely on the Virginia Journal of Law & Technology, look but dont touch.
Stats (no ESSIDs) are available on my site 0xdecafbad.comfrom one night of driving to show that most people just pull it out of the box, plug it in and since it works, do nothing more. We have since collected many thousands of access points and the stats hold out (although business areas seem to be closer to 50% WEPed, the residential areas, which are worse than 66% average it out).

wardrivingIs just using an open wireless access point "wardriving"? Or are we calling it "wardriving" because the person was in a car (that is, "driving")? It used to be that "wardriving" was the act of actually mapping out where open wireless access points are, but not necessarily just using one that is available. I guess the term "wardriving" is more sensationalistic.

Re: wardrivingThe guy is not a wardriver and he was not wardriving. He was using a computer network that he did not have permission to use. He is a criminal.
Wardrivers do not connect to the Access points they find. You log them and that is all. If you do connect you are no longer a wardriver or hacker or whatever misplaced name the media wants to use, you are a criminal.

WiFi HackersAlthough I think that you are right, that not all wardrivers and hackers have malicious intent - I think that people still need to be aware how easy it is to get into their network. If I don't want some stranger walking around my house - even if they tell me that they aren't going to steal anything. If I want to protect my house I am going to shut my door and lock it. I'm not saying that people shouldn't use wifi - but they need to use proper security if they want to reduce the possible risk involved. There's a demo at www.lucidlink.com on wifi hackers - and I think that it was an informative and interesting view on this.

Re: Wardriving"While the cop said that mere possession of a cantenna (and presumably every directional antenna for wifi) is illegal which is totally false."
That article now has a correction to that effect:
"A story on Page A1 on July 4, 2005, contained incorrect information. Sacramento County Sheriff's Lt. Bob Lozito of the Sacramento Valley Hi-Tech Crimes Task Force is quoted as saying "cantennas" are illegal to possess. The crude, homemade antennas used to amplify wireless signals are legal, according to deputy Attorney General Robert Morgester. However, if a cantenna is used to access a wireless network without permission, it becomes an instrument of the crime and is subject to seizure."

WardrivingIt's an atrocity. Like in court, the lawyer can say something against a defendant, the judge then says that the jury should disregard the comment, but once planted in the brain, it's still going to be a point of consideration during deliberations. My point, the police lie, it's not a crime to possess a cantenna, the correction is made in a little blurp 1, 2, 3 days, even a week later, but people still remember the point that stood out in the large column they read...and probably NEVER even read the little blurp that followed days later. I think that if they're going to correct a story, they should repeat the whole story, and insert where it was corrected within the story. This makes the cop look like a moron, and would be much more reluctant to tell lies, and the media about spreading it.

Weather across southeastern Texas and Arkansas rice fields this year caused something other than the tasty grain to crop up – panicle blight.
The condition affects rice plants in the field, and while it does not pose a problem for human consumption, it does take a bite out of the harvest.
Two types of blight can affect rice, according to Dr. Ted Wilson, director of the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Beaumont. Panicle blight can be caused by environmental stress such as high temperatures and need not involve a plant pathogen, he said, while bacterial panicle blight is caused by bacteria.
"The bacteria that causes bacterial panicle blight exists in the environment. It's seed-borne," said Dr. Xin-Gen "Shane" Zhou, Texas AgriLife Research plant pathologist in Beaumont. "During years in which panicle blight is severe, losses in rice fields can be as high as 40 percent of the potential yield."
This year high nighttime temperatures accompanied by frequent rainfall and 95 percent humidity while the rice crop was heading and flowering sparked development of bacterial panicle blight.
Significant losses
"A number of rice farms in Jefferson, Colorado, Chambers and Wharton counties of Texas had significant losses due to panicle blight," Zhou said. "And that region accounts for about 60 percent of the total rice production in the state. Panicle blight was also found in various research plots and affected several different varieties of rice."
Zhou said bacterial panicle blight, which was first described in Japan in 1967, is now known to exist in China, Korea, Latin America, the Philippines and Vietnam as well as the U.S., where it was first identified in 1996. It is caused by the bacterium Burkholderia glumae.
The disease form of panicle blight occurs sporadically on individual plants, Zhou said, or can appear in circular or oval patterns across a field. Florets infected with bacterial panicle blight are discolored from light green to light brown on the base then reddish-brown in the middle. The upper portion later turns straw colored. The disease can cause linear lesions on the sheaths and lead to sheath or stem rot.
Bacterial panicle blight spreads primarily by splashing and wind-blown rain, he added.
"The bacterium invades germinated seeds, inhabits the roots and lower sheaths, and moves up the growing plant," Zhou said. "The bacterium colonizes and multiplies in spikelets quickly by using the sugars developing in the grains."
Because the disease does not occur in yield-cutting levels most years, little is known about the disease's cycle, treatment or prevention methods, Zhou said.
Trials underway
The plant pathologist conducted two trials this season and has begun culturing the disease in his laboratory in hopes of learning more about the organism.
"At this time, there is no chemical control, though seed can be treated," Zhou said. "Proper cultural practices, including early planting or use of early maturing varieties, can help by avoiding the hottest part of the growing season."
Zhou also said not planting excessive amounts of seeds per acre and reducing nitrogen rates have helped reduce damage from this disease.
Ultimately, he hopes additional preventive and treatment methods will be found through his lab experiments to help farmers in years when climatic conditions prompt the occurrence of bacterial panicle blight.

I really don't see what's so impressive about this movie. The animation doesn't look that impressive. If it's done by 1 person I know it's pretty difficult to reach movie animation standards just by yourself. IMO in comparison Shinkai's work is a lot better.

Yeah, it may not look all that impressive ... but the man was crazy enough to do it, so that at least should account for something ...
That and it's pretty retro looking, so that's pretty cool too.

You can tell that the layouts are not that of a seasoned animator or director, but rather reminiscent of the layouts you would expect in 2-page comic spreads and various comic panels. The way the project is being approached and the person doing it makes it interesting, not the animation quality.

It's simple , look again on the mechas design , Mamoru nagano make usually one of the most complex design ever
Seriously it's very hard , almost impossible to animate it in 2d in a impressive way.
It should have been in 3d cell shading but i'm not a fan of this , so i applause his courage to do it in 2d !

Part of what makes storytelling great in anime is how you use animation to make it complete. It's too early to say anything about it yet, but from what I've seen in the trailer. It's not that impressive imo. Maybe the story and characters can make up for it.

The thing that distinguishes Gothicmade is that 99% of animes made today are for a profit - like pirates 2/3/4 and follows a formula that makes money. Nagano is doing this for himself, and has only himself to please. This is from someone who basically doing whatever the hell he wants, because he earned enough money from his work 2 decades ago to live the lifestyle he wanted. One thing is certain, it will be different. And retro. Some may dislike the gorgeous background cell at the expense of fluid animation, some may not.

I expect something original, anyway char design was never his forte, however his mecha design is awesome, and the way he interprete his the world is quite bizarre and unique.
Five Star Stories is one of my favourite oldies, it still very good for something made in 1989, better than most anime released in mid 90's.
take a look at this

I Think I Misplaced My Ovaries
Last Wednesday I had the day off but the kids were at school and my wife was at work. Woot! WoW time! Well, Blizz decided to perform the downtime on Wednesday instead of Tuesday, so I got a late start on any goofing around. I finally got logged into A-52 early in the afternoon, and Neve quickly got into first a Dark Portal and then a Magister's Terrace run.*
The group was chatty enough, which was good because we wiped repeatedly on MgT. I'm pretty sure that it had something to do with the three Death Knights in the group, two of which didn't know what to do at all. I described them in guild chat as Larry, Moe, and Curly, and you can just imagine the ineptitude at play. Sometime after the third or fourth wipe, we took a short break to repair our gear.
"Do we have enough time to finish this?" one of the DKs asked.
"Sure! I'm on leave!" "I can. School's on break." "Same here."
"I'm fine," I replied after checking the clock. "The kids don't get off of school for a couple more hours."
That announcement kind of brought the others up short.
"That's cool! I wish my mom played WoW." "Same here."
I'll be honest. I didn't know what to say.
I know plenty of women who play WoW (it was Soul's wife who got me into playing in the first place), so I don't think it unusual. I know moms who play during the day, too. However, these kids made the very incorrect leap from "kids at school" to "mom", and I felt I ought to set the record straight.
At the same time, I wondered whether it would do any good to say anything. Any striving for accuracy aside, was it such a bad thing to leave them thinking that I was a woman? There wasn't anything resembling flirting going on, and there definitely wasn't any preferential treatment my way. The first rule of WoW is that you don't know who is on the other end of the computer unless you get on Vent or Mumble; making assumptions in an MMO can get you in hot water.
In the end, I decided to just not say anything and just keep running the instance. You could argue that it was dishonest to let them believe otherwise --and I'd not disagree with you, either-- but what kept running through my mind was that I play with the people they imagined me to be, and that maybe it was an eye opening experience for them. If there was more asshatery going on --as opposed to ineptitude-- I might have responded differently, but I figured there was no sense in busting their bubble over that.
*I finished up the BC Dungeon Achievement at-level, since I know that I probably won't be able to solo these later instances as a Mage until L85, and MGT probably not at all.
15 comments:
I think the misconception arose not because they thought you were a stay at home mom because you were playing while the kids were away, but because you heavily implied that when the kids got home from school, you would be the one to deal with them and tend to their needs. Menfolk don't deal with the kids! Menfolk hand the kids some jerky and get back to instancing. GRUNT.ReplyDelete
I had a very similar experience in a WOTLK heroic once, where one of the dps said that he had to brb to feed the baby and people automatically assumed that the person in question must be woman. They, too, commented on how "cool" that was. Like you I wasn't sure whether to be offended that people automatically associate childcare with women or be vaguely happy that at least the idea of women playing wasn't something bad in their minds.ReplyDelete
If people in my PuGs tend to make assumptions about me I usually don't bother to correct them - unless their assumption is offensive (and it's usually pretty harmless).ReplyDelete
The most common one I come across these days is when another member of our party does something girly (I usually can't identify exactly what it is) and someone else in the party starts in on "you must be a girl - i never play with girls in WoW!".
I could speak up and reveal that, actually, I'm also a girl. But I'm usually happier for the topic to just move on.
BTW if you play in the late afternoon 4-5pm I'm always surprised at the number of surprising "can we finish this run faster? my girlfriend's almost home". I can't help but envision leagues of cute guys lounging around supported by their girlfriends so they can play video games all day!
Makes me laugh every time.
Haha, I don't have kids Redbeard but I imagine I would have been similarly confused. Do I take that as a compliment? Be insulted? Correct them? Whaaaa?ReplyDelete
I think I would have ended up saying nothing, as you did. They were happy/content with their assumption, and it's just a random group with people never to be seen again, so oh well. Funny story and everyone walks away pleased.
Also, thanks for the shoutout on Larisa's list! I am just catching up on blog posts over the last few weeks and saw you had my name. I appreciate it!
@Zelmaru-- /grunt /grunt And here I thought that I was in the 21st Century. Oh well.ReplyDelete
@Shintar-- Well, in my experience feeding a baby takes both hands --if you're a guy, that is-- and probably takes about 10-15 minutes. I've been in pugs where if you disappeared for more than a short bathroom break they'd /vote kick you. I don't know which to be more amazed at: that they didn't /vote kick him, or that he was able to continue a pug while feeding an infant. (Why does the image of the woman with the kids in The Guild pop into my head?
@Cassandri-- I must not get on the same pugs you get into, because I think I've had only one "you're a girl" argument in a WoW pug the entire year I've been pugging. Could it be a different mentality on the Oceanic servers? Or maybe I was just lucky. (Probably the latter.)
I do tend to get a late afternoon run in if I worked straight through lunch, but I haven't had the "my GF is coming home!" argument to speed up a pug. I suspect that the guys in question were supposed to be doing something else, and they didn't want to get caught goofing off on WoW instead. Of course, their GFs might disapprove of WoW and MMOs, but that's a whole other ball of wax.
@Rades-- I'm not so sure about the random group part; the Druid was also from A-52 (surprising these days with the way the servers for LFD are configured), and he whispered me afterward that if I needed a healer in a pug that he'd be happy to join a group I was in. The implication was that I knew what the hell I was doing. (Me? Go figure.)
Oh, and you're welcome on the nod on Larisa's list. I enjoyed your NANO writing, and although I never commented on it, I thought the Letters from Northrend very well done.
You're overlooking one thing here - your character is a female.ReplyDelete
I'm sure that has a great deal to do with the perception you gave off. A female blood elf - does it get more girly? Oh, right, male blood elfs...
A female Blood Elf girly? Have you seen the attitude they give off? They'd just as likely kick you in the groin as anything else. Now, if you've got a female BE toon jumping around and dancing all the time, that image gets blown out of the water, but most of the time Neve was doing a /facepalm.
And the male BE's are only 'girly' compared to male Draenei and Humans. Considering that Q has no neck and a torso that would make a linebacker proud.... :-P
Oh man, I've gotten something similar to that - the automatic assumption thing, I mean. I'm not a parent, but I am a lesbian - I have a wife/girlfriend/person (we're married all but legally, and I still haven't gotten used to calling her my wife XD) and I talk about her a LOT.ReplyDelete
The most notable time it happened was on an RP server, back in the day. I'd been RPing with some fun people, and they invited me to join their guild, which I happily did. I get in, everyone says "Hi Sian" (my character's name), and we chat for a bit. And then in the course of conversation, I mention my wife.
Now, I'll admit, MOST people (including most of the lovely bloggers I know) would've assumed me to be a guy based on that. That's okay. Except for the fact that I'd JUST been talking about how hard it is to walk in heels with a few of the guildies. But I mentioned my wife, went AFK for a few minutes, and came back to someone in gchat asking if I was there and someone else (one of the girls I'd been talking shoes with) saying "no, I think his wife needed him really quick".
I wasn't sure whether to be amused, weirded out that they apparently thought I was a drag queen in my spare time, or facepalmy that they assumed, despite my very female-oriented conversation only minutes before, that because I had a wife, I must be a guy.
I didn't say anything for a few minutes more and pretended I hadn't seen that, and didn't correct their assumption until a couple weeks later when someone referred to me as male while I was actually active in chat. They were all VERY startled, and apologetic. XD
I never correct people that mistake me for a guy, why whould I :D it's not like sex matters so much, and am not looking for flirting opportunities.ReplyDelete
and like Zel said, the assumption was made purely because you mentioned your kids at school - so surely you must be a woman, because men don't tend to their kids and wouldn't mention them first thing in conversations like that. right? right.
Kids women's job!
I wasn't sure whether to be amused, weirded out that they apparently thought I was a drag queen in my spare time, or facepalmy that they assumed, despite my very female-oriented conversation only minutes before, that because I had a wife, I must be a guy.
Well, you never know what they might have thought. The thing about WoW is that anyone and everyone can play the game, so I just take people at toon value. Although I do have to admit being surprised that a guy I was running UBRS with a couple of months ago was almost 70. And I thought I was the Old Man of the group at 41...
That's really amusing but also, yes, I think it does underscore the way the unreality of WoW makes it a sort of sieve for our absolutely worst kneejerk assumptions. I mean, as several people have already pointed out, there is absolutely no reason why "children and care" should automatically be perceived as being the purview of women, but say a single thing about children in WoW and suddenly Ding!You've got boobs. Something very similar to our tank in a pug - he's, y'know, middle-aged family man and he had to take a quick afk in the middle of a pugged heroic because one of his children was crying. And the group immediately started whinging about the inherent problems of female tanks, having to run off and do girly things like tend to their family. I corrected this assumption but it was still a bit eye-opening.ReplyDelete
The problem is that you can't challenge the wrong assumptions without also accepting the implied undertone which is that not-being the thing they think you are is inherently better than being it. It's like if you're walking down the street and someone shouts "faggot" at you, if you turn round and say "I'm not gay" you're supporting the original premise, which is that it's entirely reasonable to insult people simply for being gay.
Of course it's easy enough to be all "aren't other people crap with their kneejerk assumptions" but I catch myself doing it as well - I think there's an extent to which it's connected to the fact anonymous spaces lead you to make completely snap judgements on a person based on only incidental evidence, but that doesn't make it okay.
My mother does play WoW, and she instances occasionally (God bless her), and we both find that people generally think we're males. That gets a little frustrating. But one word of warning. NEVER mention you're a female in an RP server. You might as well wear a "Open for whoring" sign.ReplyDelete
@Ehna-- I'll remember that about RP servers. I've heard great things about Moon Guard, but at the same time I've heard Goldshire called Pornshire for a good reason.ReplyDelete
I just rescued your post from the spam holding file; had no idea it was there, honest!
You've got that right about kneejerk assumptions. After surviving the BC gauntlet of bad DK tanks, I hadn't realized just how much it had colored my thinking until I was in HoS the other day on Neve. (I'm only doing these Northrend instances for the Northrend Dungeonmaster achieve, btw.) There was a DK there running as DPS, and he was pretty undergeared for the instance. The poor DK was mercilessly picked on by the tank and the tanks fellow guildie running DPS. Then they kept turning around and pointing Neve out about how to rock DPS. I kept saying, "Um, hello? I have Cata gear on!" But that didn't work. So I just whispered the DK to not let them bug him.

Impressive turnout - I guess Penguins fans are not holding a grudge after the lockout?
Tim Braden had fresh ink of a skating Penguin on his right forearm and Brandon Sutter's name and No. 16 on the back of his black T-shirt.
He was ready for the Penguins.
So were more than 18,000 fans who packed Consol Energy Center on Wednesday night for a Penguins scrimmage, one that a week ago did not exist on a schedule.
"Our fans just announced en masse that Pittsburgh is also a hockey town," Penguins CEO David Morehouse said. "I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I'm not."
For the first NHL "game" in Pittsburgh since April 20, Morehouse ordered the arena's luxury suites be opened to accommodate fans who otherwise would have been turned away.
Admission and parking was free, so was the love for hockey.

This is a pack of 5 songs that have a highly positive, upbeat theme. If you wanted a soundtrack to get yourself up and at 'em, this would be it.
ReadyForTheShow.WAV (1:35)
Overjoyed_Ending.WAV (1:26)
FeelingSoGood_FullEnding.WAV: (2:01) FeelingSoGood_Loop.WAV: (1:40)
SparklingOcean_Ending.WAV: (1:54)
ARelaxingDriveToTheShore_Ending.WAV (2:19)
Ready For The Show:
Mainly driven by acoustic guitar and piano, this song builds through a few brief sections from just guitar, piano and bass, to vocal ooos accompanied by hand claps, and then all together near the end. This song evokes imagery of preparing optimistically for an imminent event.
Bright, cheery, loose and informal, this song is about childlike fun and happiness. Driven by ukulele, piano, and a bright electric piano, this song sports a catchy melody that exudes optimism and positive feelings.
Feeling So Good:
Moderately to slow paced but driving, this song builds from a simple fingerpicked guitar and ukulele, building to a wall of hypnotic sound but also moving into a melodic and memorable chorus driven by a retro electric piano. Mellow but with a feeling of movement, this song has a sense of nostalgia and a happy ending, even a little bit romantic in a positive and comforting way.
Sparkling Ocean:
This song uses a simple melody on the piano backed by a cheery fingerpicked guitar and building with a couple of percussion instruments to the bridge, after which a strummed guitar and electric piano arrive to help drive the song along. Optimistic, cheerful and childlike, this song evokes a positive, sunny feeling.
A Relaxing Drive To The Shore:
This song is driven by a fingerpicked guitar and a train beat, and is all about calm and steady movement. Backed by piano, electric piano, and some vocal "oooo"s in the middle of the tune, this song evokes images of a sunny summer morning on the way to the beach.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na lyrics and translation: Kahin To Hogi
Too often, soundtracks belonging to this genre are classified as 'yet another album with noise'. This is unlike anything I have come across in its genre. It is definitely worth listening to and understanding, hence the effort.
The album has eight tracks, one of which is a remix (see the track listing in this post). Let's start with Kahin To Hogi. Beautifully sung by newcomer Rashid Ali and Vasundhara Das, it is fast becoming a sing-along favorite!
Here are the lyrics I transcribed, and alongside it my attempted translation. Listen to the complete soundtrack at this link. And go buy this album -- it's worth every penny, and will make us stronger believers in love!

Style Guide: Characteristics of Traditional Bathrooms
It is hard to pinpoint exactly what makes a bathroom "traditional". After all, traditional is a rather vague blanket term that often overlaps with retro, vintage and eclectic styles. Perhaps it is easier to define what traditional bathrooms are not: They are not "spa-like", sleek, daring or minimalist. To me, traditional bathrooms are dominated by classic elements that transcend contemporary trends.
These bathrooms tend not to jump out at you as decade-specific (e.g., a retro 40s bathroom with pink and grey tiles), though they often contain elements of another era. Nor do traditional bathrooms make wild or whimsical statements with overly ornate or eclectic elements. Still, while traditional bathrooms are more likely to defy short-lived design trends they need not be staid or bland. Classical bathrooms can be calming, subtle and elegant. And they are incredibly adaptable: It is easy to spice up a traditional, unfussy foundation with simple, impermanent design elements (accessories, lighting and towels) that can be easily (and cheaply) changed over time.
What are some characteristics of traditional bathrooms?
1) Natural stone or porcelain subway or hex tiles
2) Natural stone countertops (e.g. marble) in neutral colors
3) White cotton towels and bath mats
4) Freestanding bathtubs, especially claw foot tubs
5) Pedestal and console sinks or sinks with a traditional cabinet base
6) Hinged mirrored medicine cabinets
7) Vintage or antique mirrors
8) Chrome or nickel-plated fixtures
9) A lot of neutral color and/or white, including a black-and-white combination
10) Wainscoting and wallpaper
Here are some examples of traditional bathrooms from our House Tours:
• 1 Jenika and Robert's 1944 Bungalow Renovation.
• 2 Shannon and Aaron's East Coast Yuppie Bungalow.
