Blizzplanet Interview – Micky Neilson & Matt Burns Discuss Diablo III: Book of Tyrael
Montoya and I had a blast interviewing New York Times Best Selling author and Blizzard Lead Publishing Micky Neilson and Blizzard Associate Publishing Developer Matt Burns.
We asked a few questions about the Insight Editions' Diablo III: Book of Tyrael which is currently available at a bookstore near you and online.
I recommend buying Diablo III: Book of Tyrael and reading my recent review which has a list of content.
I also recently posted photos of the booksigning of Diablo III: Book of Tyrael held at the 2013 New York Comic Con where I met Joseph Lacroix (DC Comics Diablo: Sword of Justice artist) and Doug Alexander (Senior Art Editor in Creative Development at Blizzard Entertainment).
Note: Added a transcript at the below the video embed. The interview lasted about 24 minutes. (Added Sub-titles to the video through YouTube CC/Closed Captions)
This is Medievaldragon from Blizzplanet. We're here to interview Micky Neilson and Matt Burns about Diablo III: Book of Tyrael. We also have Montoya from Blizzplanet.
Hi, everyone!
(Everyone says Hi)
Let's start with the first question here.
MD: Blizzard Entertainment and Insight Editions published Diablo III: Book of Cain as a primer to Diablo III mythos. Where does Diablo III: Book of Tyrael fit in Blizzard's grand design? What is the purpose?
Neilson: There was a lot of reasons for doing Book of Tyrael. Probably the main reason was — because we did Book of Cain and we came up with a ton of amazing content, and all kinds of great ideas and everything else, and backstory and characters and all this juicy stuff, and then we figured — you know, ok — we've a certain number of pages to be able to tell up this ending and we just didn't have enough room for everything.
So the biggest thing for Book of Tyrael was — Ok, we've got all this amazing information that we want to share with people. Let's do it in a follow up book and let's see what other opportunities we have to convey this information. So that was one of the big ones; and then of course, tying into upcoming game content and having something that's going to serve us to bridge to the next expansion — you know — that was also a big consideration. Matt do you want to add to that? (More after the break)

It's a dark, snowy Tuesday night in Hamden, Connecticut, the kind that last all basketball season in the Northeast. John W. Adams is sitting by himself in the last row at the TD Bank SportsCenter, preparing to take in yet another game in the long stretch of games that make up his life each winter.
Over the next five months, the NCAA's head of men's basketball officials will traverse the country, going from city to city, small gym to huge arena, to evaluate as many of our nation's college basketball officials as he can. His recommendations will determine which referees make it to the NCAA Tournament, which ones advance, and ultimately, who will toss the ball into the air at the Final Four.

When I found out that my H & her were having an A, I never told her H. My WH swears they never had sex. Instead, they sent pics & videos. Seems to me, they were very emotionally involved, due to all the time they spent on the phone and texting.
I know that people on SI feel very strongly about telling. But, I have my own reasons for not doing so and not because my WH told me not to.
So, my question is, because I didn't tell her H, do you think that she may still have feelings for my WH? Better known as "in the fog."
I ask this because it seems that when a WS gets caught, by their S, the fog lifts sooner & reality hits a little harder.
Some, not all, tend to see the A for what it really was.
I know I shouldn't care what she's feeling. But, my WH did tell her he loved her. I'm just looking to get some insight from a WS.
I hope this makes sense. It really is hard to put in words.
Thanks so much
Hey it's why I come on this thread, I feel the more honest I can be with everyone the better I can be to my BBF. I hope she's opening up more.
How does a WS forgive themself? My WS is becoming a heavy drinker, new problem. I just wonder if this is his guilt eating him up or just another character flaw?
I have not forgiven myself yet but am working my way towards it. TBH the drinking feels like a way to run away and hide. I have quit drinking all together and was not a heavy drinker to begin with. I want a clear mind for whenever the memories hit me to process them and deal with them as I should. He needs to confront his issues, what led him to the A, what he did to his M, and how he can improve himself not only for you and the M but for himself. Healing is a multi-layered process and forgiveness is somewhere in there but cannot be achieved until positive changes are made. Starting to drink is not a positive change and you need to cut that off before it gets worse.
Not sure if it always takes a S finding out about the A for the fog to lift. My situation is a bit different then your WH's but I came out of my fog solo and confessed to my BBF. Perhaps the ending of the A was enough for the fog to begin lifting for the OW. Perhaps she's still mired deep in whatever she thought she and WH had or perhaps she's found someone new. Yes you're right you shouldn't be caring about anything dealing with her but realistically it's going to happen. I hope for your sake that she's realized what her actions have wrought and that her fog has lifted as a result of NC and your WH trying to R with you. Hope that helped.
No longer together
Do not let others be your reference for who you see in the mirror.
Stop allowing people to hurt you, because you don't love you enough to walk away.
I guess I wonder because both our sons still play hockey at the same rink and we see her.
Of course, I don't talk to her. My WH doesn't either. However, there are times I'm not there & my WH is.
I really hate that they can still see each other. Even if only from a distance.
During HB (after D-Day), have any WS's pictured OP or used HB as a mourning period for the A with OP?
If BS's have mind movies of OP during HB, do WS's as well?
I know this is a painful question.
During HB (after D-Day), have any WS's pictured OP or used HB as a mourning period for the A with OP?
I have never pictured OP during HB. I have thought omg how could I have ever thought to do this with OM. And on a couple of occasions, during oral I wonder if BBF is wondering if this is what it looked like and felt like for OM since giving oral is the only sexual act I engaged in with OM. I hate that OM's name even comes into my mind at all and thank god it is unique and I don't have to hear it unless we are talking about the A.
Edited for typos
[This message edited by Unagie at 11:40 PM, November 30th (Friday)]
WSs forgive themselves by doing the work. It is going to be different for everyone though. Some say they already have, others may take a while. My BW forgave me long before I realized I had forgiven myself. And that is what happened in my situation, I just realized one day that I had forgiven myself, but it was after a lot of work and a lot of acceptance about what I did.
The drinking
yep, its an easy escape, easy trap. The alcohol allows the hurt and pain to be put on hold. It doesnt go away, it just isnt as sharp when you have a buzz. I dont think it is a character flaw. Alcoholism is a medical condition. Some might be more prone to it than others, but I dont think that is a character flaw.
Do you drink? Did your WH drink before? What does he say about it now? Have you expressed your concern to him?
She may still have feelings, or she may not. If she has no fond feelings for your WH, then perhaps she has realized how messed up she was. If she still looks at your WH fondly, then she hasnt done any work or made any realizations, and probably will. Doesnt really matter in the grand scheme of things.
Do you have any indication that her BH knows anything? I think you are right that there is a difference for the WS between confessing and getting caught. Even though youve made the choice to not tell the BH, I think it is the only way you will get a true answer to your question.
How did your WH react? What kind of communication happened when/if an NC letter was sent?
Some people might agree, most will not, but there is some kind of emotional problem with all the WSs. My problem was that I couldnt communicate emotionally, and I do have some kind of emotional defect. Where it comes from, hard to say, but where it shows in communicating with my wife, especially after the discovery. I had a talent, even much before, to say things that are wrong, in wrong moments, to wrong people. They will come out of my mouth faster than the thoughts. Before, as I was beloved husband in my wifes eyes, it didnt count for much. After the discovery, I would cause a big crisis, directly or indirectly insulting my wife, or saying something that would be completely out of place, or out of emotions. For some time I was in the fog, than after that I become defensive, than started feeling sorry for my self, and every stage I went through was reflecting in things I said. Unfortunately, there were couple of mes on that way, and each one of myself was thinking differently. Now, all of those characters form one picture in my wifes head, and everything that has been said counts for something.
What I could do is to write I had this talent as young to write well, and even now, I would be able to express my feelings much easier and with more precision than I would ever be able to describe them in plain talk. While she thought I just knew how to write I recently started thinking about it completely differently, and understood that subconsciously I was aware that I cant communicate properly and this was my way out. My love language was doing things. I remember that she asked me million times how much I love her, and I would always come up with one or two standard answers (now Im writing the story about it).
The only true love declaration I had was when I wrote her a short story about love, which Is long forgotten. So, to cut the story short, although I dont know your story (I read your profile, though) I can understand the position your husband might be in . Maybe he doesnt know how to communicate emotionally, maybe those words are not intended to be said, maybe he was like that all his life, but you just didnt care before because it didnt hurt. Im not saying that there is a solution for this but knowing about the problem sometimes can make it better. Yes, I felt scared many times. The longer we talked, the more scared I was. I had to concentrate while talking which words to use, which negations to choose, how not to sound insulting, arrogant, defensive. I admire most of the reconciled WSs on this site who said all the right words. It sounds like they have done this with ease. And it is not easy. Maybe not for me, maybe not for your husband, and that takes me back to the emotional and communication problem.
I dont want to be defensive here, I dont want to sound like escapist, not to neglect the pain I have caused, Im not saying that BSs dont have all the rights to be enraged at us, to demand, to expect, to be disappointed. Im not saying that for a moment we should think about ourselves, what we feel, how we react. So, dont get me wrong. I dont say that BSs should be worried about what goes through our head, even less, why are we saying things we are, or acting as we are. We should be concentrated on their pain and how to make them feel better. But, in that process, we still make mistakes, we still have mixed feelings, when we are attacked our first reaction is to defend ourselves, if we can emotionally withdraw, we will do this, and we will shut down. I dont know, maybe there are many WSs that can change all of this about themselves overnight. Or maybe it is natural for them. For me, it was a long process of understanding things about myself and trying to analyze myself. And, even now, that Im aware of some, or most of the things about myself, I still dont really know what is the right reaction. I only know what is the wrong reaction.
There is something else that makes this communication very hard, I dont know if it applies to your case, but it does to mine. Im the only one who knows the whole story about myself in my marriage. If my wife thinks I will cheat again, she doesnt have the full picture, only her side of the story. I do have the full picture, because I know what is in my mind-that I will never cheat again. Now, how do I relate my truths, my decisions, my resolutions, everything I decided, everything I feel to her? It is not easy. But the conflict exists she sees me as a person who is dishonest, rotten to the bone, lying, manipulative, somebody with no morals, responsibility. And I dont. I know, I was all of this for a long time, but I know Im not any more. Those 2 pictures clash all the time in my head. Yes, I see myself the way she sees me most of the time, but not always. And there is no other way for her to see me, I understand this completely. It just makes is hard to communicate and sometimes, it triggers defensive mode.
Another thing that can cause emotional shut-down are triggers. WSs have triggers too. I would even go so far to say that WSs can have PTSD. They can go into depression sometimes for no reason, or triggered by the look at the happy couple, listening to a song on the radio, watching the movie. It happens. Even BSs depression can trigger their depression. Now, Im not saying this to again defend any reaction I had, to minimize my shortfalls, but sometimes this depression occurs out of nowhere. Im not saying that WSs should give up to this depression, but, it is not easy to fight it. It is like some kind of sickness, you really need to admit to yourself for a day, or couple of hours, that you are sick and start working on yourself immediately to be able to come out.
The last but not the least is love. BSs can not believe that their WSs can love them. And understandably so. How can somebody that loved somebody else, commit all those crimes. OK, there are really many people on this site, some of them show no remorse, and they are not even willing to reconcile. But, in most of the cases, WSs are not hanging around because they dont have anything better to do. Most of the time, they are there because they love their BSs, and they cant understand why they have turned the lives of their families into the living hell. If they are so dishonest and so bad, why wouldnt they leave straight away. Do they see the pain they have caused? It would be easier to leave, there will be no more pain to be seen. Have they chosen as a way of life, to have random sex with whoever in the days before the discovery? Now it would be a perfect time to bail-out and live the lives their BSs are suspecting they wanted all along. My wife tells me that I dont know what love is and the only reason I so desperately want us to reconcile is because Im responsible and that responsibility is bigger than me. Why cant I be responsible by leaving and staying responsible for the rest of my life? Because I love her and I cant imagine my life without her. It is not that Im afraid that I will be alone, I never was, it is that I'm afraid I will be without her. Yes, it is possible that WSs love their BSs, and I know this because Ive got the whole picture. Ive been inside my head and my heart more than once, more than thousand times. And there is no reason in the world why this feeling would be the false one.
I just want to point out that nothing here is written to miminize, deflect or shrink the guilt that WSs should and might feel. It is not about their emotions, Im not saying that they should be accounted for, or even cared for. Im just trying to answer your question and describe that there is much more than remorse-no remorse going through WSs heads and that sometimes their reactions dont say much about their feelings. They dont have the right to act this way, sometimes it is a error on their side, but not every single time. Maybe, there are WSs that didnt make a single mistake in their days after the discovery, that have said all the right words in all the right moments, I will never know. I just know from all the thoughts, guilt, sadness, emotions that are constantly mixing in my head, it is very hard thing to do. Please, again, dont understand this as a any kind of excuse, there is none, if we are to help our spouses we have to be 150% not 100%. Im just trying to illustrate the thoughts that might be happening on the other side, not to justify them but just to say they exist.
my WS has expressed that he's scared he will not say the right thing (this has happened many, many times during our false R and R, so I can somewhat understand this) but....what will take the anxiety away.
Our MC told us let go of the consequences. Assuming a person is not trying to hurt someone else and is speaking authentically... from the heart... Just say it.
Your H should just say what he thinks, what he feels. You are strong enough to hear it. If you cry, you cry. If you get mad, you get mad. You'll get over it.
[This message edited by UnexpectedSong at 10:28 PM, December 4th (Tuesday)]
Did any of you ever shut down and experience anxiety when your BS brings up her/his feelings, whether A related or not?
When bringing up the A I have had bad reactions. I have felt my stomach go topsy turvy and have thrown up, come back out the bathroom and finished the discussion. Nothing really stops me from finishing the conversation but yes I can have bad reactions to it. I've gone monotone so that I can go through all the answers and my reactions hit me hard after the conversation is over instead of during. I've broken down, gone into depression, had anxiety attacks, nervous, throwing up, the list goes on.
As for his feelings, sure they throw me into that loop sometimes as well. WS's have triggers too, my first counselor asked me to get a book on PTSD because I exhibited symptoms, not that she diagnosed me with it simply that I exhibited symptoms. Sometimes those triggers are harsh but it should not shut down the WS or make you stuck. WS needs to learn coping skills to get past these moments.
Thank you.
Your WH needs a new IC if those are the types of recommendations and encouragement he is receiving.
It can take a hell of a long time for a WS to realize that they need to step up and do the things you are asking about. Okay, maybe some folks don't like reading, and listening can be difficult for some too, but as a WS, to just say that this is all you're willing to give your partner, your spouse, the person you've made a commitment too and in your case, have 5 children with, well, to not realize that maybe the problem really is with the WS and it isn't someone else's fault, that can be a hard realization, but one that needs to be made, or he may lose more than he realizes.
I'm really sorry to hear that you are still stuck in this spot. Your WH's early stuff showed some promise. Please take care of yourself and your kids.
The point of this though is to say that anything can be taken too far. I feel my reasons for not doing these life changing things were valid but in our last argument just a few days ago he said "you told me you'd do anything to he with me and I know I'd do anything to be with you but I've given you things, extreme things because I believed we could make it through anything and you could prove to me you'd do anything to make this right but you failed the test twice. I guess you mean you'd do anything to a limit but I thought you meant the sky was the limit. It hurt so much when he said that. So yes I said I would do anything but it might depend on what your definition of anything is.
WH says that he never orgasmed with OW. He says he would be hard then go soft or be semi hard as soon as there was contact gentalia to gentalia. He just couldn't ever stay hard. I really don't believe him. I haven't said that to him yet but will in counseling. What keeps him having the affair for over a month, having sex or semi sex I guess you could says 4-5x a week if you can't orgasm? What keeps a woman coming back to a man who can't keep it hard for her? To me, this would translate into he isn't attracted to me. My first thought was he gave her oral sex and that may keep her coming back, he swears he didn't. I am slightly inclined to believe him since he is very selfish and doesn't take care of the other person and only thinks of his own pleasure. But again what would keep a woman coming back for a soft penis for over a month? What is the draw for him who can not complete the sexual act. I really am ready to call bull shit on this but would like any insight. Thank you
Edited to add that he was 26 at the time of the affair,Healthy as a horse. He has a yearly physical and fitness test due to his job. He has not suffered from ED before that I know of.

I hope it is enough, I always feel like I need to be doing more.

TEA News Releases Online
June 10, 2010
(AUSTIN) – A select group of Texas seniors are graduating this year with not only a high school diploma but also an associate of arts degree under the state's Early College High School (ECHS) program.
Eleven of the state's 41 early college programs graduated seniors this year with the students earning scholarships totaling more than $5.6 million. Six of these schools also offer an associate of arts (AA) degree and 308 of the graduating seniors enrolled in these six programs earned an AA degree in addition to a high school diploma.
"Our Early College High School campuses have become national models by providing opportunity for at-risk students in all parts of our state," Commissioner of Education Robert Scott said. "The success of these students demonstrates that we are employing the right strategies to increase graduation and prevent students from dropping out."
Early College High Schools serve students who would not otherwise consider attending college by offering a high school diploma and up to 60 college credit hours or an associate of arts degree. The target population includes first generation college-goers, low-income students, minority students, and English language learners.
With 41 early colleges in operation, Texas is a nationwide leader in developing this program. Early colleges open with a 9th grade cohort and add a new cohort each year until the school serves grades 9-12.
Early College High Schools are developed by the Texas High School Project (THSP). Considered one of the most innovative high school programs in the country, THSP was launched in 2003 by Gov. Rick Perry in collaboration with the Texas Legislature and private foundations.
"Early College High Schools demonstrate that at-risk students thrive when challenged with college-level work and are immersed in a college environment," said Kelty Garbee, TEA's Early College High School program manager. "By earning college scholarships or an associate's degree at high school graduation, these students have a head start in successfully pursuing a postsecondary degree."
Early College High Schools are located on or in close proximity to a college campus and are aimed at allowing students who are historically underrepresented in the college-going population. Early College High Schools provide dual credit at no cost to students, create a seamless transition from high school to college, offer rigorous instruction and accelerated courses, and provide academic and social support services to help students succeed.
In all, more than 900 students graduated from the early colleges in May. Many of these students could graduate with up to 60 hours of college credit. Those early colleges with 2010 graduates are:
Texas employs proven research-based and cutting edge strategies to prevent dropouts and recover students who have previously dropped out. These strategies include providing challenging and personalized learning environments, role models and mentors, academic support to help struggling students catch up and data systems to identify struggling students early.
In 2010, TEA allocated approximately $250 million in state and federal funding for targeted dropout prevention and recovery initiatives. The state additionally allocated $335 million in High School Allotment funds and approximately $3 billion in Compensatory Education Allotment funds to school districts.
To read more about how Texas identifies, prevents, and recovers dropouts, please visit the TEA's dropout information website at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index3.aspx?id=3505&menu_id3=814.

Like Doug Bandow, I am appalled and disheartened by the irrationality and inhumanity of the current war on drugs. Nevertheless, I remain unconvinced that the strategy he proposes is either good or feasible. James Jacobs is right: The debate over legalization is the wrong one; it diverts us from the many things we might do to reduce drug abuse and create a more sensible drug policy.
The crucial problem with the case for legalization is that the proponents understate the potential costs and overstate the potential benefits of ending the criminalization of hard-drug trafficking in America. (I won't discuss marijuana because it is not the issue on which Bandow and I really differ.) The most basic concern about legalizing the sale of hard drugs is that it would

Gen. Clark on CNN Larry King Live on Monday, November 2 where he debated Pete Hegseth about Afghanistan.
CNN LARRY KING LIVE (See link for transcript and here for YouTube clips of the broadcast)
Will Obama Send More Troops to Afghanistan?; H1N1 Discussion
Aired November 2, 2009 - 21:00 ET
LARRY KING, CNN ANCHOR: "General Clark, do you listen to your general?
GENERAL WESLEY CLARK, FORMER NATO SUPREME ALLIED COMMANDER: You bet you. When the commander on the ground says he needs more troops to do the mission and you're the commander in chief, you better listen to him. It may be that you need to carefully consider what the mission is. But we don't want to get pushed out of Afghanistan by battlefield defeats. However, Larry, the real problem here is that the enemy's not just in Afghanistan. It's in Pakistan. And maybe that's the headquarters for the enemy.
And so we have to be concerned not only with Afghanistan but with Pakistan. And for Pakistan, if that's where al Qaeda is, that's really the heart of where our strategy should be focused. You know, you mentioned Vietnam. I think back to my experience. I was a company commander over there. I came home on a stretcher in 1970. I got shot by a guy in an ambush in a base camp. Basically there were three major lessons I took from Vietnam and from 30 years of reflecting on it.
Number one is that when you put your troops in, you take more casualties. We had a million troops in Vietnam, 550,000 Americans, almost 500,000 from the republic of Vietnam army. Plus another million in uniform that were part of the local militia. And the more troops, the more casualties. Secondly, that if you complain about the quality of the government, you're never going to solve this problem. We got rid of the government in Vietnam. We changed it, we still had problems. And to the end we complained that there was too much corruption.
So, that's endemic. They're not going to meet our standards. And third, the enemy wasn't in Vietnam. And we waited too long to realize that we had to go outside Vietnam. I hope we don't make that mistake in Afghanistan...
KING: General Clark, are you saying you would leave Afghanistan? What are you saying?
CLARK: I'd put troops in there right now to try to do something. But ultimately we're not going to create a government and a society that meets our standards in Afghanistan. And when you think about the United States Army and young people like captains and lieutenants going back there on fourth and fifth and sixth tours, and you look at what it does to the military, what it does to the country, how it distorts our efforts in so many other areas, we need to define what success is over there, we need to put in the necessary resources, we need to get to success as soon as possible.
Now, we could have a long discussion of whether Afghanistan is more like Vietnam or Iraq. I hope that Pete's right, but on the other hand, in Iraq, we had Iraqis fighting each other. That's not actually the case in Afghanistan. They're pretty much -- there's an insurgency and it's directed against us. That's a big difference and that's the way it was in Vietnam. And so, when you secure these cities have you have in there is.
KING: Let me get a break.
CLARK: Go ahead, Larry. We'll continue afterwards...
CLARK: One more thing I'd like to add, Larry.
KING: I'd like to just go back to one thing here.
CLARK: The enemy we went after out is in Pakistan.
KING: Quickly, General.
CLARK: The enemies in Pakistan, we spent at least talking about Afghanistan. The Pakistanis have got to go get out al Qaeda in Pakistan. And we've got to give ...
KING: All right. Let me get a break...
KING: We love to involve our audience. Let's get another call for this panel. Arlington, Virginia. Hello.
CALLER: Hi. Yes. I mean, is Obama afraid to make a decision? I'm here in Arlington, Virginia, to bury my son tomorrow, Lance Corporal David Baker who was killed two weeks ago. Tomorrow in Afghanistan, we need to send more troops. Is Obama -- why doesn't he listen to the people he hires? Why doesn't he listen?
KING: General Clark, do you want to respond?
CLARK: I think he will send more troops. But I also think he has to go through the full process of making sure the strategy's right, the mission's right and we know exactly what we have to do to succeed there. And that's really the review he didn't have when he first took office. He's doing it now. And I think he has to do it...
KING: General Clark, quickly, what do you think he's going to do?
CLARK: Put in more troops, probably not everything General McChrystal has asked for. Put pressure on the Pakistanis to do more, probably not enough pressure, give them some assistance and hope he can find some measure of progress in the effort there.
KING: Thank you all very much..."

Comments about Easton Youth Rival Home and Road Reversible Chest Protector:
My 10 yr old son got this for Christmas and its just huge on him. I know it has to fit many sizes but there is no way to tighten the back sufficiently to bring the neckline up high enough to protect his upper chest area. And it opens up very far towards the shoulders too. Leaves lots of area exposed. Have to make my own mods to the straps for a snug fit. Also, it is very stiff which provides good protection but seems a bit much and is awkward for him when in his crouch. Besides that, he loves the reversibility and the shoulder protection is good too.

I mark Communications cancelled three tech shows planned for the days after September 11. Within a few weeks, the events had new dates in October and expected about 90 percent participation from the original exhibitors. How did Imark keep its show floor intact? Innovative thinking and a bunch of cash.
According to Executive Vice President and COO Brad Jersey, Imark is spending $200,000 to $250,000 to pay the facility and decorator bills for exhibitors who stay with The Massachusetts Technology Showcase, a first-time event that had been planned for September 12-13 at the Boston World Trade Center and was rescheduled for October 11-12, as well as the Illinois Technology Showcase and ProjectWorld Chicago, co-located at McCormick Place. Those shows moved from September 12-13 to October 18-19.
Imark has offered to pay its exhibitors' costs for setup, carpeting, labor, electrical lines, and other facility expenses during the rescheduled shows. Exhibitors will still need to cover decorator bills related to the original show dates, as well as shipping their booths, canceled flights and hotel rooms, and other costs.
Nevertheless, the company's gesture seems to have had the intended effect: Jersey says colleagues told him to expect, at best, only 75 percent of his exhibitors to rebook. Ninety percent feels like a home run.

BMW's research and development head, Klaus Draeger, has confirmed that future BMWs will indeed utilize new turbocharged 3-cylinder gas and diesel engines. This begs the question which future models will receive these 3 cylinder motors. According to Draeger (via Autocar), the upcoming FWD 1-series models will receive the 1.5L turbo 3-cylinder and not the F30 3-series (at least not initially?)
"They are not a priority for the 3-series," Draeger told Autocar last week. "We'll start with the front-wheel drive architecture and more price-sensitive models."
Instead, the smallest engine we expect to see for the F30 3-series is the 245hp 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder N20 engine.
Draeger revealed that the petrol version of the engine, known internally as N37, has the potential to match the maximum 54bhp-per-cylinder rating of the firm's … CONTINUED

My 5 yo DD has a really hard time with anything that could be considered a treat. This could mean edible treats (candy, cookies, etc), a television show/movie, specific play time plans, etc. Anything that is deemed special.
She does this with tv. She does it with one-on-one time with me-we have 15ish minutes of Mommy-Lorien time every day, and this is never enough and every time it ends it is awful. Crying, whining, screaming. She does this when playing and then leaving friends houses. She is still nursing, and she does it about that, too (which is one of the hardest ones to deal with because I don't want our nursing relationship to have any negativity associated with it- I want that to be a safe place for her). She does it if we have candy or other treat type things in the house.
I have tried cutting some of these things out all together (edible treats and tv) and that did seem to help. However, that is not really a plausible long-term solution, especially since many of the things that cause problems are not things I would WANT to take away. I also don't like that "I AM IN CONTROL OF YOU" attitude that seems to be taking over my body when I am frustrated that she is AGAIN throwing a FIT while leaving a friends house, or to nurse or...
We have tried setting reasonable limits:
"You can have ginky (what they call nursing) at home, as often as you like. However, my body is part of this equation and I need you to be able to respect my choice to say no sometimes." I rarely say I can't...but if I do- oh boy! She threw a fit at my dad's house in front of tons of people because she wanted to nurse.
"One TV show per day." As soon as that one is over, she cries. She begs for more.
"Finish up your current activity, and then we have to head home for dinner." She agrees, finishes what she is doing, helps clean up and then LOSES it.
I have thought about just letting her have as much as she wants (namely in regards to TV and edible treats) and let her make the decision and "burn out" on those things. BUT, I have a 2 year old as well who doesn't have this problem, and I just can't expose him to tons and tons of TV, etc. Plus, there are other people involved in some of these issues and I need to help her understand how to respect that.

News from NOW
The National Organization for Women (NOW) today called on President Obama to appoint Federal Reserve Vice Chair Janet Yellen to succeed Ben Bernanke as chair of the Federal Reserve.
NOW activists have added their voices to the groundswell demanding that the Department of Justice investigate George Zimmerman for violating the civil rights of Trayvon Martin. We will continue in our common struggle for equality and justice for all people.
The National Organization for Women is elated for the many same-sex couples whose loving, committed relationships will now be recognized in law a result of today's Supreme Court rulings on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California's Proposition 8.
The National Organization for Women is delighted that Ed Markey has been elected to the United States Senate and will represent the state of Massachusetts.
Racism and discrimination still exist in this country and in our voting laws -- we've seen dramatic efforts in many states to limit voting access. Politicians have tried passing restrictive voter ID laws, cutting back early-voting hours, eliminating same-day voter registration, and aggressive purging of voter rolls in recent elections.
NOW will continue to work with our allies to legislatively overrule Vance and Nassar to correct what Justice Ginsburg called "this court's wayward interpretations of Title VII." We will also continue to fight for policies that foster racial diversity in higher education -- without which communities of color will continue to face unjust barriers in employment and beyond.
Send your message to the Senate now. Demand that a floor vote on S. 967 be scheduled and urge your senators both Democrats and Republicans to vote for this bill. Tell them that you will be watching closely as to whether they will vote to protect sexual assault survivors and make this necessary reform that will truly bring about military justice.
The National Organization for Women is appalled that the U.S. House of Representatives passed Rep. Trent Franks' nationwide 20-week abortion ban. This bill represents the most restrictive abortion legislation to come to a vote in either chamber over the past decade and is a clear violation of Roe v. Wade.
Terry O'Neill has a new piece on The Huffington Post: "The Obama Administration's decision not to appeal a federal judge's order to allow girls of any age to buy emergency contraception without a prescription hasn't settled this debate. Not by a long sho…
Rep. Trent Franks' (R-Ariz.) nationwide 20-week abortion ban is close to passing. He recently reintroduced the D.C. Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would outlaw abortions in the District of Columbia after 20 weeks, and has amended it to b…
The National Organization for Women is encouraged by the Obama administration's promise to federal district court Judge Edward R. Korman that it will withdraw its appeal of his ruling, in which the FDA was ordered to make all forms of emergency contraception available over the counter without age restrictions.
Today Walmart has obtained a temporary restraining order against employees and organizations protesting Walmarts discriminatory business practices during this week's shareholder meeting in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Hello. Welcome to That Roundhouse. This is an ecohome of wood frame, cobwood and recycled window walls, straw-insulated turf roof; with solar power and wind turbine for electricity, compost toilet and reed beds for grey water. We designed and built it over the winter 1997/8, and it was turned down for planning permission several times. After several court appearances, we decided to demolish it over Easter 2004, but changed our minds after demonstrations of huge public support in its defence. The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority attempted to get a court injunction to force us to demolish it, but were persuaded to allow it to stay up until July 2006, when we could re-apply under their new Low Impact Policy. Our new application was considered for six months as we negotiated over all the points of the policy that we had to satisfy. After a refusal in 2007 and several deferrals while Faith (was Jane) worked on a joint application with Emma who lives in a roundhouse across the fields, in Sept 2008 the committee voted to give us and her planning permission, conditional for three years. We signed a s.106 agreement agreeing to stay within the terms of our management plan in June, 2013, so now have a three year temporary permission from then. So here we still are. A low impact roundhouse.
Please browse around this site. Plenty of pictures, history and updates. If you want to build a house like this, I am preparing a page, or app, or video, or an extension to my book, or all four, to include more up to date ideas on uprights, roofs, etc. In the meantime, the courses page and reciframes page below show current ideas on these subjects. Planning law is also evolving fast. Maybe it's a new book.

Dundee – its quaint and historic buildings
This is a facsimile of the book more commonly known as 'Lamb's Dundee'. The original was compiled by Dundee hotelier, Dundee High School FP and antiquarian Alexander Crawford Lamb and first published in 1895. Concerned at how many of Dundee's historic buildings were disappearing, he sought to document their existence. This book, with fantastic illustrations by William Gibb, is an essential guide to the Dundee which existed before the Improvement Act of 1879.

Stocks vs. Bonds: Why and When?
by Jason Brady
There are many different sources of information about the benefits and limitations of asset allocation.
Effectively, when individuals or professionals try to put together a portfolio, the question of "how much should I own of what?" is often a crucial first step. However, increasingly investors are focusing on goals beyond or in addition to total return. One of the tenets of modern portfolio theory (MPT) says that in a frictionless world (no taxes, transaction costs, etc.), investors shouldn't care about the source of their return and that income (dividends, bond coupons, etc.) is the same

i liked the write up. While most of our members probably understood the basic concept, she got down to the nitty/gritty and it helps me to review it. Chasing yield even in the high yield end of the fixed income universe seems RISKY for a 78 year old every time uncle Ben speaks I come to the conclusion that we have a few more years to benefit as long as we are ready to change course when things change.
Thomas Wides from Ohio posted about 1 year ago:
Dividend producng stocks are many different animals. Utilities thrive on low interest and deflationary environment.Pharma is a growth area, staples seem to me to be good in a deflationary and oils in an inflationary. It seems as long as we have business cycles they tend to offset one another. My question is has the fed and ecb outlawed the cycle?
Thomas Hutchison from Virginia posted about 1 year ago:
The article is worth review. I cannot escape the sense that serious inflation is in our future with all the QEs, etc; the onlly question is how soon we must pay the piper.
James Bushnell from Florida posted about 1 year ago:
I have a number of muni bonds, bought years ago, that pay around 4%, and I will hold them to maturity. But I don't see any sense in buying new low-risk bonds like US Treasuries, as long as the yields are below the inflation rate. to what purpose? Currently you will lose purchasing power,and longer range inflation will kill their purchasing power when they mature. I didn't sell many of my stocks during the recent crash, and most came back nicely. But now I only buy stocks with a dividend higher than the inflation rate.
Harold Marrett from New York posted about 1 year ago:
I have 100 shares of stock in XYZ company bought at $100 per share. I have automatic reinvestment of my dividends. The company pays $1 in dividends. The price is automatically adjusted down by $1 so the price is now $99. Now I have 101 shares at $99 and $1 left over. After paying taxes I am worse off. Where is the dividend helping me?

Now, when I meet with new clients I feel more self confident. more

They refuse to give me a refund.... more

A Disappointment compared to the Shiro
By MattMil
from Kaiserslautern, Germany
About Me Expert
Best Uses
Comments about Volkl Gotama Skis 2014:
Bought these after testing the Volkl Shiro at a test day in Solden, Austria. I assumed that they would be similar yet more versatile due to the waist only being 108. The full rocker makes the skis feel dead and heavy in the turns on piste. Off-piste, the ski performed well only in deep powder. You get bounced around a lot in these skis. They are not responsive - it takes a ton of energy to force short radius turns. Honestly, a big disappointment compared to other Volkl models I've skied. The Shiros are everything this ski isn't.

November 29, 2010
Residents of the remote community of Iowa Hill have their first landline telephones, 134 years after the phone was invented, thanks to the efforts of Placer County, the telephone company that serves Foresthill and California State officials.
The new phone service was launched recently after Sebastian, a local service provider formerly known as the Foresthill Telephone Co., completed final testing in October.
The Placer County Board of Supervisors celebrated the new phone service on Tuesday, Nov. 23 when it adopted a resolution formally certifying the project as complete and by turning it over to the local telephone company.
Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery, who represents Iowa Hill, said, "This is a day long in coming and welcomed by the residents of Iowa Hill and the County alike. Never again will phone service be unavailable in private homes, leaving people like Cathy Morgan unable to reach emergency personnel in times of real crisis. I am humbled to have been part of this success story."
Having a landline telephone service is critical in emergencies, since it gives Iowa Hill residents reliable access to law enforcement, fire agencies and medical aid services utilizing the county emergency 911 system.
Iowa Hill is only about six miles from Interstate 80 as the crow flies, but motorists must navigate an extremely steep one-lane road that descends to the bottom of the North Fork of the American River Canyon and has several hairpin turns and switchbacks on its climb back up the canyon's south wall.
Residents typically do not receive good cell phone coverage because of Iowa Hill's remote location in mountainous terrain.
Construction of the infrastructure for the landline system was financed with a grant from the California Public Utilities Commission through the state's Rural Telecommunications Infrastructure Grant Program.
Assembly Bill 140, which became law on Jan. 1, 2002, created a grant program funded via the California High Cost Fund A for the purpose of expanding telecommunications service to low-income households in currently unserved rural areas of California. Each community selected for grant funding was eligible to receive up to $2.5 million for completion of a telecommunications service infrastructure. Money for the grant program comes from small surcharges on telephone bills in California.
Private-sector companies frequently find it too expensive to develop regular landline telephone systems for isolated communities on their own.
Placer County's Administrative Services Department submitted a grant request in cooperation with the Telephone Committee of the Iowa Hill Community Club. The application included letters of support from more than 75 percent of the community's residents.
An estimated 250 people live in the Iowa Hill area. At the time the grant application was filed, the community had about 25 residents who were more than 60 years old and 11 who were disabled.
Established in 1853 during the Gold Rush, Iowa Hill once had a thriving business district that featured three large grocery stores, four hotels, five clothing stores, a brewery and soda factory, bowling alleys and lager beer saloons by 1861.
At one time, the community had an old-fashioned "farmer line," a single telephone wire that stretched from Colfax to Iowa Hill. It was a "party line" that gave Iowa Hill residents telephone access to Colfax as a group, but not individual telephone lines. No dialing was necessary. The system eventually fell into disrepair and went out of service.
Today, Iowa Hill has a general store, volunteer fire department and post office. At the time of the application, the post office was believed to be the only U.S. Postal Service facility in California that didn't have regular landline telephone service. The community also has a one-room elementary school.
"To me, the phone service up there is important in case of emergencies more than anything," said Luana Dowling, an Iowa Hill resident who is chief of its volunteer fire department and administrative captain for the Foresthill Fire Protection District.
So far, about 54 Iowa Hill households have signed up for the new phone service.

Actions you can take
The marks in this booklet show actions you can take to manage your diabetes.
Help your health care team make a diabetes care plan that will work for you.
Learn to make wise choices for your diabetes care each day.
Step 1: Learn about diabetes.
What is diabetes?
There are three main types of diabetes:
- Type 1 diabetes – Your body does not make insulin. This is a problem because you need insulin to take the sugar (glucose) from the foods you eat and turn it into energy for your body. You need to take insulin every day to live.
- Type 2 diabetes – Your body does not make or use insulin well. You may need to take pills or insulin to help control your diabetes. Type 2 is the most common type of diabetes.
- Gestational (jest-TAY-shun-al) diabetes – Some women get this kind of diabetes when they are pregnant. Most of the time, it goes away after the baby is born. But even if it goes away, these women and their children have a greater chance of getting diabetes later in life.
You are the most important member of your health care team.
You are the one who manages your diabetes day by day. Talk to your doctor about how you can best care for your diabetes to stay healthy. Some others who can help are:
- dentist
- diabetes doctor
- diabetes educator
- dietitian
- eye doctor
- foot doctor
- friends and family
- mental health counselor
- nurse
- nurse practitioner
- pharmacist
- social worker
How to learn more about diabetes.
- Take classes to learn more about living with diabetes. To find a class, check with your health care team, hospital, or area health clinic. You can also search online.
- Join a support group — in-person or online — to get peer support with managing your diabetes.
- Read about diabetes online. Go to www.YourDiabetesInfo.org.
Take diabetes seriously.
You may have heard people say they have "a touch of diabetes" or that their "sugar is a little high." These words suggest that diabetes is not a serious disease. That is not correct. Diabetes is serious, but you can learn to manage it.
People with diabetes need to make healthy food choices, stay at a healthy weight, move more every day, and take their medicine even when they feel good. It's a lot to do. It's not easy, but it's worth it!
Why take care of your diabetes?
Taking care of yourself and your diabetes can help you feel good today and in the future. When your blood sugar (glucose) is close to normal, you are likely to:
- have more energy
- be less tired and thirsty
- need to pass urine less often
- heal better
- have fewer skin or bladder infections
You will also have less chance of having health problems caused by diabetes such as:
- heart attack or stroke
- eye problems that can lead to trouble seeing or going blind
- pain, tingling, or numbness in your hands and feet, also called nerve damage
- kidney problems that can cause your kidneys to stop working
- teeth and gum problems
Actions you can take
Ask your health care team what type of diabetes you have.
Learn why diabetes is serious.
Learn how caring for your diabetes helps you feel better today and in the future.
Step 2: Know your diabetes ABCs.
Talk to your health care team about how to manage your A1C, Blood pressure, and Cholesterol. This can help lower your chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or other diabetes problems. Here's what the ABCs of diabetes stand for:
A for the A1C test (A-one-C).
What is it?
The A1C is a blood test that measures your average blood sugar level over the past three months. It is different from the blood sugar checks you do each day.
Why is it important?
You need to know your blood sugar levels over time. You don't want those numbers to get too high. High levels of blood sugar can hurt your heart and blood vessels, kidneys, feet, and eyes.
What is the A1C goal?
The A1C goal for many people with diabetes is below 7. Ask what your goal should be.
B for Blood pressure.
What is it?
Blood pressure is the force of your blood against the wall of your blood vessels.
Why is it important?
If your blood pressure gets too high, it makes your heart work too hard. It can cause a heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.
What is the blood pressure goal?
Your blood pressure goal should be below 140/80 unless your doctor helps you set a different goal.
C for Cholesterol (ko-LESS-tuh-ruhl).
What is it?
There are two kinds of cholesterol in your blood: LDL and HDL.
LDL or "bad" cholesterol can build up and clog your blood vessels. It can cause a heart attack or stroke.
HDL or "good" cholesterol helps remove the "bad" cholesterol from your blood vessels.
What are the LDL and HDL goals for people with diabetes?
Ask what your cholesterol numbers should be. If you are over 40 years of age, you may need to take a statin drug for heart health.
Actions you can take
- Ask your health care team:
- what your A1C, blood pressure, and cholesterol numbers are and what they should be. Your ABC goals will depend on how long you have had diabetes, other health problems, and how hard your diabetes is to manage.
- what you can do to reach your ABC goals
Step 3: Learn how to live with diabetes.
It is common to feel overwhelmed, sad, or angry when you are living with diabetes. You may know the steps you should take to stay healthy, but have trouble sticking with your plan over time. This section has tips on how to cope with your diabetes, eat well, and be active.
Cope with your diabetes.
- Stress can raise your blood sugar. Learn ways to lower your stress. Try deep breathing, gardening, taking a walk, meditating, working on your hobby, or listening to your favorite music.
- Ask for help if you feel down. A mental health counselor, support group, member of the clergy, friend, or family member who will listen to your concerns may help you feel better.
Eat well.
- Make a diabetes meal plan with help from your health care team.
- Choose foods that are lower in calories, saturated fat, trans fat, sugar, and salt.
- Eat foods with more fiber, such as whole grain cereals, breads, crackers, rice, or pasta.
- Choose foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, bread and cereals, and low-fat or skim milk and cheese.
- Drink water instead of juice and regular soda.
- When eating a meal, fill half of your plate with fruits and vegetables, one quarter with a lean protein, such as beans, or chicken or turkey without the skin, and one quarter with a whole grain, such as brown rice or whole wheat pasta.
Be active.
- Set a goal to be more active most days of the week. Start slow by taking 10 minute walks, 3 times a day.
- Twice a week, work to increase your muscle strength. Use stretch bands, do yoga, heavy gardening (digging and planting with tools), or try push-ups.
- Stay at a healthy weight by using your meal plan and moving more.
Know what to do every day.
- Take your medicines for diabetes and any other health problems even when you feel good. Ask your doctor if you need aspirin to prevent a heart attack or stroke. Tell your doctor if you cannot afford your medicines or if you have any side effects.
- Check your feet every day for cuts, blisters, red spots, and swelling. Call your health care team right away about any sores that do not go away.
- Brush your teeth and floss every day to keep your mouth, teeth, and gums healthy.
- Stop smoking. Ask for help to quit. Call 1-800-QUITNOW (1-800-784-8669).
- Keep track of your blood sugar. You may want to check it one or more times a day. Use the card at the back of this booklet to keep a record of your blood sugar numbers. Be sure to talk about it with your health care team.
- Check your blood pressure if your doctor advises and keep a record of it.
Talk to your health care team.
- Ask your doctor if you have any questions about your diabetes.
- Report any changes in your health.
Actions you can take
- Ask for a healthy meal plan.
- Ask about ways to be more active.
- Ask how and when to test your blood sugar and how to use the results to manage your diabetes.
- Use these tips to help with your self-care.
- Discuss how your diabetes plan is working for you each time you visit your health care team.
Step 4: Get routine care to stay healthy.
See your health care team at least twice a year to find and treat any problems early.
At each visit, be sure you have a:
- blood pressure check
- foot check
- weight check
- review of your self-care plan
Two times each year, have an:
- A1C test. It may be checked more often if it is over 7.
Once each year, be sure you have a:
- cholesterol test
- triglyceride (try-GLISS-er-ide) test - a type of blood fat
- complete foot exam
- dental exam to check teeth and gums
- dilated eye exam to check for eye problems
- flu shot
- urine and a blood test to check for kidney problems
At least once in your lifetime, get a:
- pneumonia (nu-mo-nya) shot
- hepatitis B (HEP-uh-TY-tiss) shot
Medicare and diabetes.
If you have Medicare, check to see how your plan covers diabetes care. Medicare covers some of the costs for:
- diabetes education
- diabetes supplies
- diabetes medicine
- visits with a dietitian
- special shoes, if you need them
Actions you can take
Ask your health care team about these and other tests you may need. Ask what your results mean.
Write down the date and time of your next visit.
Use the card at the back of this booklet to keep a record of your diabetes care.
If you have Medicare, check your plan.
Things to Remember:
- You are the most important member of your health care team.
- Follow the four steps in this booklet to help you learn how to manage your diabetes.
- Learn how to reach your diabetes ABC goals.
- Ask your health care team for help.
