My friend's surgery went well yesterday! She'll get her labs back on Tuesday and find out what her next steps are -- fingers crossed she doesn't have to do radiation.
I REALLY enjoyed my time yesterday for my first "Pink" workout! There were 10 of us exercising together -- all different ages and all at different stages in our healing from breast cancer. We worked on bikes/treadmills/ellipticals for cardio for 1/2 hour, then did weights and stretching for another half-hour. It wasn't too strenuous, but I was definitely sweating with the routine our exercise physiologist put us through. After the group workout on Wednesdays, there is a group session with our "Wellness Coach," Barbara Robey. Get a circle of ladies together and there's plenty to talk about! Without going into details (as confidentiality is important in these groups,) it is a wonderful opportunity for a woman to ask questions of her fellow survivors and share details about her experiences with reconstruction, chemo, radiation, drugs -- anything about her treatments. There is nothing better than being able to talk with someone who has been in your shoes! With the Pink at Piedmont Program, you get a nice group of women with a variety of experiences. I'm looking forward to more of this bonding and sweating - I really wish now that I had started doing it while I was going through radiation because I believe it would have helped me have more energy. To register for a Pink at Piedmont 12 week session or if you know someone who would benefit from this, find out more at piedmontcancer.org.

I wanted to provide you my experience with this hotel and the person at the front desk, Martine. She was very helpful and made our stay very enjoyable. She went out of her way to help us figure out the access to metro. Where to eat, what to see, etc. It is a modest hotel but serves the purpose at a much lower price than most in that area. It included continental breakfast so that meal was taken care of, which every little bit helps when you are traveling to DC.

In January, seniors Steve Becker, Duncan Standish, Nate Mendelsohn, and Cory Todd traveled to Beijing to participate in our 'Jazz Meets East' program. We're bringing you the full story, in three parts.
Part I: A Portrait of the Experience
This winter term, our band (The Men With Short Beards) flew to Beijing, China for two weeks to perform at jazz venues and host a residency at I.S.B. (the International School of Beijing). We went on the tour as a part of the "Jazz Meets East" program, a program that has helped send jazz ensembles to China every winter term for five years and counting. Funding came from tour revenue as well as school grants and an online donation campaign via Indiegogo.
The string of about nine gigs marked not only our band's first substantial tour, but also our first time playing outside of Oberlin, Ohio. To simultaneously see a new part of the world and showcase our band's repertoire of original music (to unbiased ears) was an exciting thing for us. Terry Hsieh '12 (Beijing resident and originator of the "Jazz Meets East" program) booked our gigs and clinics, bringing us to all kinds of Chinese jazz clubs and performance spaces. East Shore was a crowded, smoky jazz bar that overlooked the north edge of the Qianhai Sea and got packed on weekends. We played there twice, getting inspiration from the posters of American Jazz Legends that hung on the walls around us. Modernista was a friendly international music bar and restaurant that hosted us on two of our wildest gigs: a rowdy swing dance and an even rowdier New Years party. CD Blues was a stylish blue-lit and table-filled jazz venue bordered by a stage on the far end, a full bar along one wall, and a sit-down Italian restaurant upstairs. That night we ate spaghetti and played our set for one couple that sat near the stage; to our surprise, they stayed the whole time and asked for an encore.
When we weren't on stage, we made time to get to know the city by walking around shopping areas, eating at the tastiest spots, and catching a glimpse of some prime tourist attractions. After all, a goal of the project was cross-cultural interaction, and we were set on immersing ourselves. We ate an unforgettable array of food: dumplings galore (steamed buns and pot stockers), scrambled eggs with hot peppers, fried mushrooms, rice porridge, Chinese-style hot pot, Japanese food, Taiwanese food…the list goes on and on. We also saw a number of astounding sights in the forms of palaces, temples, and one massive wall. The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Temple of Heaven are just a few of the places we visited.
We spent the last few days of the tour working closely with young musicians at the international school. Once there, we were told what the kids had been focusing on musically and what we were to work on with them. Thankfully, that topic was 'free improvisation.' Yes, we are a jazz band, but our influences span much wider than the word might suggest, and the music we grew up listening to consisted largely of radio pop, catchy alternative rock and mainstream hip hop. As we grew to love jazz, we also grew to love avant-garde music and free jazz, then classical and contemporary composition. We believe in the power of a song, but we're equally passionate about the freedom that comes with free improvisation, the freedom to express a mishmash of different influences, feelings, and ideas — maybe all at once.
With the ISB students, we had a chance to focus on this kind of musical approach that stretches beyond the confines of standard jazz practice, an experience that we would have loved for ourselves at that age. We ended the residency by playing a concert in the auditorium where we improvised freely with two student groups and performed one of our songs with their school's 70-piece string orchestra. In the words of ISB's jazz band director and improvisation teacher, David Beckstead, "It was epic."
Generally speaking, the tour was a great success! None of us fell off of the Great Wall and we only got into a few unresolved arguments with cabdrivers.
Stay tuned for parts II and III of 'Who Are The Men With Short Beards?' – an in-depth interview about the experience with the band.

Chris Brown's take on Brady v. the NFL
What is the Norris-LaGuardia Act? The legal issue at the core of Brady v. NFL | Smart Football
Chris Brown is the smartest football writer I have ever known. He gets right to the crux of the matter and explains how Norris-LaGuardia was invoked by the NFL in their opposition to the decertification. Quote:
Re: Chris Brown's take on Brady v. the NFL
Smart writer indeed. Good read -- thanks.
Re: Chris Brown's take on Brady v. the NFL
Great article. Great points on both sides.
As I read the article, I began to remember learning about the legislation back in College. I seem to remember that the courts were always siding with management (as mentioned in the article) and that the Legislative Branch stepped in. While technically the letter of the law states that they cannot impose an injunction, I think that this beckons Congress to either unofficially uphold the law or to overturn it. If this ends up being the reason why an injunction cannot be imposed, that's a shame. There are troves of archaic US statutes and common law that are entirely ignored and unrecognized by the modern judicial system. But my guess is that the courts will hide behind this one. Quote:
Re: Chris Brown's take on Brady v. the NFL
It's high time for NFL commentators to start wrecking the league in the press. ESPN should start sending out their bazookas and aiming them at the players and owners.

Re: Chris Brown's take on Brady v. the NFL
Re: Chris Brown's take on Brady v. the NFL
You bring up excellent examples with the minimum wage and safe work environment standards, but let's not forget the biggee in all of this...Anti-trust suits due to a monopoly. This is what it's all about. Collusion by 32 companies functioning as a monopoly. There has been plenty of interference of Companies like Microsoft over the years where directives have been issued. To conclude that the essence of the law is that the courts should not "get involved in the way managers run a business" is to ignore the anti-capitalistic nature of the lockout. |

Prosecutors have transferred to juvenile court the case of the 15-year-old girl who paved the way for four young men to storm an Omaha marijuana dealer's basement and kill the pot dealer during a botched robbery.
Emily Gusman admitted responsibility — the juvenile-court equivalent of pleading guilty — to one count of conspiracy to commit robbery in connection with the July 2011 death of Kristopher Winters.
Gusman, now 16, and four men hatched a plan to rob Winters' at his mother's house near 50th and U Streets. The men sent her in under the ruse of wanting to buy marijuana.
Gusman, who testified for the state in three trials of Winters' robbers, had acknowledged that this wasn't her first robbery. She previously had gone in as the icebreaker in two other robberies of drug dealers.
Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said that fact had given him pause in considering what to do with Gusman, who originally was charged with first-degree murder.
However, Kleine said, it was clear that the young men involved in Winters' death had been using the much-younger Gusman. They had so little regard for her that they all bolted from Winters' home, leaving her behind.
A witness alerted Omaha police to Gusman, who was walking in a striped tube top that had Winters' blood splattered on it. Her arrest – and subsequent cooperation – helped break the case, Kleine said.
She and one of the robbers — Drake Northrop — testified for the state. Northrop, 24, is awaiting sentencing on his conviction of conspiracy to commit robbery.
Three other men have been convicted of first-degree murder and are facing mandatory life terms for those convictions. Nicholas Ely, 22, was sentenced to the term Friday. The gunman, Ryan Elseman, 20, received a life sentence — and another accomplice, Marcus Patton, 22, is scheduled to be sentenced in a few weeks.
Many of the robbers had claimed to be members of a gang called Omaha Mafia Bloods.
Winters' mother, Kelly Winters, said she hopes that Gusman makes the most of the chance she has been given. She said prosecutors told her that Gusman most likely will end up being sent to an Arizona detention center.
Gusman, who turns 17 in January, will be under the juvenile court's jurisdiction until she's 19.
Winters' sister, Victoria, pointed to Gusman's previous robberies.
"The biggest thing we're concerned about is that, as soon as she gets back here, she's going to get back into the same (expletive)," Victoria Winters said.
Victoria Winters said her brother was much more than a marijuana dealer. He worked for a lawn-mowing company and always was at the ready to help others, she said.
Every sentencing – every case – has been difficult to sit through, she said.
"They say it gets easier as time goes by," Victoria Winters said. "But it never does."

Bushman Ukulele
Bushman started life as a retailer of musical instruments rather than a maker (and they still do sell instruments by other makers) and focussed mainly on harmonicas. More recently, they have started to make their own ukuleles and launched their ukuleles in 2005 and it has become a big success.
Unfortunately in 2010 they hit supply problems which meant many people (including the winners of the 2009 Bushman Contest) didn't get their ukes. That's understandable. But what isn't understandable is the terrible customer service that people have had. There are plenty of forum threads to attest to this such as this one, this one and this one.
Bushman have two main ranges: the Bushman Cedar Tone and the Bushman Jenny. They are very similar instruments. Of the two, the Cedar Tone is slightly more expensive. Cedar Tones start at around $220, whereas Jennys start around $200. Both are made in Asia and finished and set up in the US
Bushman themselves describe the Bushman Jenny as having a, "brighter, punchy tone," while the Bushman Cedar Tone has a, "warmer, darker, more mellow tone."
Both instruments are solid wood: Brazilian Mahogany for the Jenny and the Cedar Tone has a cedar top (well, duh) and rosewood back and sides. Which is very nice considering the price.
Bushman did have two entirely American made sets of ukulele: the Bluebird and the Homegrown. Both seem to have disappeared from their website.
Bushman should also be congratulated for seeing sense and supplying their ukes with good quality strings (Aquila) as standard.
On Video
In 2007 Bushman ran a contest with the prize of a ukulele for the best video. It was won by Julia Nunes and this was her reaction. I think she was pleased.
On eBay

From staff reports:
Ashok Lalli, a dentist with offices in Tacoma and Federal Way, agreed to permanently surrender his license to practice, according to the Washington State Department of Health (DOH).
According to the DOH, Lalli provided dental services to one of his assistants between August 2008 and July 2010. Along with the dental service, the DOH asserts that Lalli engaged in sexual misconduct with the same patient, including "groping her breasts and groin area, penetrating her with his fingers, and forcing her to massage his penis."
Lalli was the subject of a 2008 discipline order after he kissed one patient and touched another patient's chest and breast area, according to the department.
The Federal Way location is at 26228 Pacific Highway S. The DOH notes that Lalli had not been practicing since he was suspended in July 2011.

A new emergency computer system will feed questions to dispatchers as they take emergency calls to get the best information possible before emergency personnel arrive onscene. "Our dispatchers act as our first-first responders, gathering the information we need to make decisions on initial response to an emergency and we have the best dispatchers and firefighters in Nevada," said East Fork Deputy Fire Chief David Fogerson. "It is because of the information they receive from the caller we can send an appropriate and measured response to the incident."

Kim Kardashian is so familiar with her own naked body ... she recently noticed a photo of her own bare breasts on an unauthorized album cover ... and immediately sent her lawyers into attack mode!!
Turns out, two music producers -- Terrace Martin and Devi Dev -- used a photo of a woman's bare chest on the cover of their album "Terrace Martin & Devi Dev Present: The Sex EP" ... and it just so happens the image was a close up from Kim's nude photo spread in W magazine.
Kim's lawyers fired off a cease and desist letter to Terrace and Devi demanding they swap out the pic -- and stated, "We cannot imagine why you thought you had the right to use this photograph without permission."
T and D immediately replaced the photo with another woman's bare bosom -- claiming they had no idea the original boobies belonged to Kim.
Devi Dev tells TMZ, "We didnt even know they were her boobies because obviously I don't recognize her by her nipples."
She is the CHIEF EXPLOITER of Hollywood-- How dare she accuse others of what she is a PRO at????She has commited every act of EXPLOITATION known to man and women!!!
Didn't she make a porn and released it for 5 mill? the only reason why she cared was because she wasn't being paid.
Since this is the second time (at least) that Kim has caused an uproar over her pictures being used without her consent, perhaps nobody should use her pictures ever again in ANY type of publication! She's not worth the trouble!
Oh, my. Poor Kim K. Always the Victim in every situation, eh, Kim? Well, how about this... maybe if you weren't getting pictures taken of your naked body and getting them published all over the Internet in the first place, you wouldn't have to worry about people using said pictures without your permission! Take some responsibility for the predicaments that YOU get yourself into! Crying victim every chance you get only makes you look pathetic, especially when everyone knows it's your own damn fault!
By the way, expecting everyone else to be able to recognize faceless body shots of you just because YOU can recognize yourself is a completely unfair expectation. After all, nobody else pays half as much attention to you as you think they do!
I wonder how her fiance' likes knowing that everyone and their mom has seen her naked body.
So glad that intimacy really matters to some people in life.
Much sarcasm there btw.
lol kim is an idiot. she's freakin ugly as hell. you people must be blind. if you think she's pretty haha. either that or your missing a few screws in your head. chick is ugly. just like she was trying to sue melissa moilinero. (i think that's her name)because she looked similar to kim kardashian. what an idiot. melissa is way more gorgeous. melissa is model material. and kim should just stick to eating her twinkies. it ain't doing her thighs any good. haha those things are huge.
Oh please, that publicity crazed woman has not been exposed anything more than her crazy Mother signed her up to be!! What a joke for a headline.
everyone on here is really hating on kim k im sure if u where paid to do all of the things she did good or bad u would have done it ! no questions asked...so just leave her alone ur just mad bcuz shes paid nd ur not!!!
This come from the woman that made a sex tape and is a attention zombie and has no talent!
Let me get this right....she poses topless on a magazine for all to see (of course got paid) and because some is using them for free on an album cover shes offended??? THAT'S RIGHT...the Kardashian family of money whores didnt get paid!

These biscuits would be great with a hearty beef stew or St. Patrick's Day meal. They would also make nice slider buns for leftover corned beef sandwich melts.
Prep Time: 12 minutes
Cook Time: 11 minutes
Total Time: 23 minutes
Yield: Makes About 1 Dozen Biscuits
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, about 10 ounces
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder, aluminum free
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons cold butter, cut in small pieces
- 1 cup finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, about 4 ounces
- 7 ounces Guinness Stout or beer (3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons)
- flour for dusting
- melted butter, for topping hot baked biscuits
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir with a whisk to blend thoroughly. Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese.
Using a pastry blender or your fingers, work the butter in until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
Lightly stir in the stout or beer just until moistened. Turn out onto a surface which has been dusted with flour and knead just a few times, until you have a soft cohesive dough. Pat out into a circle about 1/2-inch thick. Cut with biscuit cutters and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, just until lightly browned.
Brush with melted butter. Serve the biscuits warm, and pass the butter.
Makes about 1 dozen biscuits.

What is one tip you learned about cooking that was simple but made a huge difference: Part 2
Learning how to read food, either by sight, sound, smell, touch or any other method. Thermometers are great for an accurate temperature, but you should always give it a poke with your finger to get a feel for what X degrees actually is. Food will usually give off clues, you just need to know how to recognize them.
On the list I compiled from the first tips thread, I am fascinated with using the water from boiling potatoes to make the gravy. I have not tried it but the starch from the potatoes would help thicken the gravy and add some flavor. ... very clever.
I could see where this would work with pasta water, also.
If you can read, you can cook. Find and follow good clear recipes.
Don't toast garlic bread on the upper oven rack.
re: mamachef
Im ashamed to admit I have had to re-learn the second on more than one occasion. Trying to hurry in the kitchen just doesn't work out sometimes.
(and the first one I learned from my Grandmother... who apparently never read how to make pies, it was the one thing she just couldn't get right)
Chop half a bell pepper. Put it in a sandwich bag and roll it up. Put the sandwich bag in a zip lock bag with several other sandwich bags of chopped bell pepper and keep the whole thing in the freezer.
When you need some bell pepper, just go to the freezer and pull out one of the sandwich bags and toss the contents into the skillet with the other sweating veggies.
For some reason, I hardly ever need an entire bell pepper chopped so this works well for me.
The best way to make scrambled eggs is in a cast iron skillet. Get it good and hot, butter the pan, pour in the eggs and turn off the heat. They will come out perfectly! Not too wet, not at all dry, firm but still creamy.
I saw letting eggs come to room temp before cooking was already mentioned. +1 more for that!
I have two that didn't make the list
Run cold water over cut avocado. It won't brown. Lime juice, contrary to popular opinion, works poorly and only for a very short time. Water works.
When prepping raw onions and garlic, if your hands smell, rubbing your hands all over a stainless bowl or faucet, for some enzymatic reason the smell dissipates. -
For gas ranges - Never pay attention to what the dial on the stovetop knobs say. Watch the flame and learn it.
I hope nobody objects. I compiled a simplified list of tips from the original thread.
It seemed that for every good tip, there were 5-6 comments agreeing, arguing or slightly clarifying the original tip.
Kosher salt, in a dish, by the stove.
TASTE and season as you go.
Never use a dull knife.
Always preheat an oven.
Al dente pasta is the only way to go.
Use room temp eggs.
A separate freezer is a home cooks best friend.
Put a thin (3/8" to 1/2") steak in the freezer for 15 minutes or so before cooking will allow you to get a nice sear on the outside without overcooking the middle. Works for tuna, too
A slower, longer rise results in a better tasting bread.
Allow meat to rest before carving
Fresh juice is better than bottled
Don't crowd food in a pan when browning
browing a clove or two of garlic into the boiling pasta water
Zest has more flavor than juice
add seltzer water to the pancake mix for fluffiness
Separate the eggs and beat the whites for fluffier pancakes
flick water at the oiled griddle and it dances, it's the right temperature
WAIT till the pan and the oil get hot
Brown meat for extra flavor then deglaze pan to capture the flavor of the food bits in your sauce
Don't drain grease off fried food by laying it on paper towels…use a cooling rack with paper towels underneath.
Fresh herbs are far better than dried.
Use herbs toward end of cooking process
When making a sauce add cold liquid to hot ingredients for the sauce to be lump free
Pull your pasta when it's pre-al dente and finish cooking your pasta in the sauce
Baking bacon is better than frying
Use good knives
Save veggie scraps and peelings in ziplock bag for stocks
add a teaspoon or two of water to the pan after the egg starts to cook and then put a lid on the pan. The steam from the water cooks the top of the egg without overcooking
Bring eggs and meat to room temperature before cooking
Read the entire recipe before cooking
Mise en place in order of use
Dry the meat before searing
Hot pan cold oil food won't stick
Season as you go and taste as you season
When scrambling eggs remove the pan from the heat a few seconds before they are done.
Keep a garbage bowl nearby
Clean as you go
Taste it before serving
Warm plates before serving
Use a meat thermometer
Use a digital scale
Fresh bay leaves are better than dry bay leaves
Use kitchen timers
Use the water from cooking the potatoes to make the gravy
Cook mashed potatoes in half n half instead of water
Buy an oven thermometer
A bit of sugar tames the acidity in tomato rich dishes
Some grated carrot tames acidity too
Freshly ground pepper is lots better than pre ground
Keep your chicken bones for stock
Add a dash of salt to any baked good
Microwave clams and oysters for 10 seconds to open easily
When cooking ground beef, once the beef is starting to get brown, use a dough blender to break it up into small pieces.
Brine pork and chicken for a juicier product
Make a big batch of roux and store it in a sealed jar in the fridge to speed up gravy making
you can bake the steak to get it to the doneness you like without charring the outside after searing in a pan.
"Better than Bouillon" beef and chicken bases are far better than bouillon cubes and enhance broths for gravies and pan sauces.
Braise in an enamel coated cast iron dutch oven.
Home made stocks are far superior to anything else.
Use a whisk when making gravy and sauces to prevent lumps
Season in layers 1/3 early 1/3 in the middle and 1/3 last
Microwave sliced mushrooms until they give up their water then sauté for better browning
Store fresh lemons in a jar in the fridge.
Put a chicken or turkey, uncovered, in the fridge for a few hours enables a crisp skin-
re: Hank Hanover
I would not agree with "When scrambling eggs remove the pan from the heat a few seconds before they are done." More like a MINUTE before they are done because through residual heat, warm plate and time they will otherwise be overcooked. Oh, and I used to be a purist for scrambled using just eggs and butter. Started adding a teaspoon of heavy cream for each egg, now they really are creamy---and there's no guesswork!

What is even more scary than that is looking at the start of the video, he is living in the house with children that he has possibly fathered.:whoa:

Monastic cats
A plenty of three coloured monastic cats - that was what everybody can see when entering the Great Meteoron! Here in Russia three coloured cats mean happyness for their owner. I don't know if it is so in Greece.
Other Monasteries
There are many other monasteries in Meteora, but they are closed (without monks), like "Ypapanti", "St. George Mandilas", e.t.c.
The greatest number of monasteries was 24:
1)Holy Spirit 2) Holy Modesto, 3)Chain of Apostle Peter, 4)Saint Prodromos, 5)Saint Taxiarchs, 6)Saint George Mandilas, 7)Saint Dimitrios, 8)Saint Antony, 9) Saint Athanasios, 10)Virgin Mary, 11)Saint Nicolas Badovas, 12)Saint Nicolas Kofinas, 13)Transfiguration of Jesus on the Mount, 14)Varlaam, 15) Saint Stephen, 16) Holy Trinity, 17) Holy Monastery 18)Roussano,19)Candle mass, 20)Almighty, 21)Kallistratou, 22)Ipsiloteras or Kalligrafon, 23)Saint Apostles and 24)Saint Nicolas Anapafsas. -

Modern Church
After dinner I walked around the Palazzo restaurant and found a Modern Church which provided wonderful views with Kalambaka's Rocks on the background. I didn't find its name because it seemed to me it had been just erected – it looked very new.

Bee hives in the direction of Mount Olympus (Kater
Greek honey is famous and no wonder if you can see many beehives as shown her near Katerina in the direction of Mount Olympus. The photo show both "modern", wooden beehives, of a type that can be found everywhere in Europe and local wickerwork beehives that I had never seen anywhere else.

When the road gets further into the mountains, the landscape becomes very different but remains, even in august, very green. There is not much agriculture possible but the peasants succeed in getting hay that is collected along the dirt road.

Not far from the Meteora, agricultural land
In this area, in the mountains, not far from the Meteora, there are from time to time small ''islands'' of rich agriculture. This photo shows a small plateau covered with green and golden fields. Who would believe that this is Greece!

Sheepfolds not far from the Meteora
After the Meteora, we went on several very small roads, most of them dirt roads in order to have a look at absolutely tourist free parts of Greece!

Meteora - the caves in the rocks
I was told that in one of the caves, which can be seen in the rock, the ascetic monks used to stay for months on end without coming down at all, thus punishing their bodies for some act of disobedience or for allowing their thoughts to take flight back to the world.

Monastery of St. Nicholas Anapafsas
This monastery stands south-west of the rocks of Meteora, near the village of Kastraki.
The monastery which is preserved today was built around 15th century. The narrow and confined surface of the rock on which the monastery stands is the reason why its various parts do not extend horizontally but are built on different level, one above the other. Thus as we go up there, we find on the first level the church and refrectory and on the second the cells of the monks.
Everything about the place gives a sense of confinement and a feeling of mystery.- Hiking and Walking

Meteora - Why, when, how?
The name M-E-T-E-O-R-A [meaning 'suspended in air'] is not met with in ancient times. It was used for the first time by the proprietor of the Monastery of the Transfiguration, Athanasios of Meteora, in 1344.
When exactly Meteora was first inhabited by monks is not known.
With the passage of time the monastic community grew, the number of monasteries increased to 24, and they received support from various benefactions and privileges accorded to them by lords, princes and patriarchs.
The 17th century saw monasticism at its most flourishing at Meteora, but today there are six monasteries in operation.- Hiking and Walking

"Is not the core of nature in the heart of man?"
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The natural rock buildings blend so evenly with the scenery, they are hard to spot at first. Only the red tile roofs give them away. Centuries of weather have caused natural streaking of the rock acts as a natural camouflage. A plaque over one monastery door telling the history of the valley says the streaks are monk's tears, crying for the sins of the outside world.- Mountain Climbing

- Religious Travel
"Before God we are equally wise, and equally foolish".
- Albert Einstein
Once atop these almost inaccessible peaks, the monks lowered rope ladders to friends on the ground that sent up building materials and food. A system of levered pulleys with large baskets followed, and that is how they bring up their supplies to this day. Now, there are roads connecting all the buildings, but the inhabitants mostly use the old baskets and even have a hand-pulled cable car system for crossing some of the deeper chasms. Creaking cables cause all eyes to look up at a basket full of monks inching along a tiny cable a thousand feet (305 m) above the valley floor.- Religious Travel

Valve selling Half-Life for 98 cents
November 19, 2008 - 16:02
Wolfgang Gruener
Ok, we admit it, there are ways to get Half-Life for free, you may even have a copy in a graphics card box in your closet (at least I do in the box of the original ATI Radeon AIW), but we felt it was worth noting that Valve's Half-Life game turned 10 today and the company is celebrating the birthday with a 98 cent edition of the game.

Microsoft launches New Xbox Experience, Netflix streaming off to a rocky launch
November 19, 2008 - 09:52
Christian Zibreg
Microsoft updated its Xbox firmware and upgraded Xbox Live service today. The new software+service combination, called the New Xbox Experience, is released in 26 countries and is available in 11 languages. The software maker considers the product a milestone release with the hope to make the firm's game console the center piece of home entertainment, replacing rival consoles and set-top boxes. A cornerstone of this strategy is the unlimited Netflix HD streaming feature. However, early user reports indicate that Netflix streaming did not work for at least a certain portion of users who updated their Xbox 360.

Epic gallery of (almost) everyone who makes World of Warcraft
November 14, 2008 - 01:07
Humphrey Cheung
Making video games is serious business, but creating the world's most popular MMO, World of Warcraft, is a monumental feat requiring hundreds of developers, programmers, artists and videographers. It's easy to forget these people because they usually aren't publically recognized, but today you're getting a special treat that we're pretty sure has never been done before. During last night's launch of the World of Warcraft expansion: Wrath of the Lich King at the Electronic Fry's store in Anaheim, we snapped photos of 140 WoW developers and you can see all of them in the three slideshows below.

Wolfgang Gruener
It appears that Microsoft had a blockbuster title in stores just in time for Christmas once again. Gears of War 2 could not quite match Halo 3, but 2.1 million boxes sold on day 1 means that Microsoft's game studios and Epic received an early Christmas present and the Xbox 360 should see a nice bump in unit sales.

November 7, 2008 - 15:17
Samantha Rose Hunt
About a year ago, Google implemented video filtering on YouTube in an effort to prevent the uploading of unauthorized content and to aid in the monetization of videos. ZDNet reflects on this anniversary with a 15 page PDF (available only to registered users), in which Rick Cotton, NBC Universal Chief Counsel, discusses the filters on YouTube. Cotton states that monthly the filters are improving and are now capable of capturing 75-80% of all of the uploads that are not legal.

October 29, 2008 - 12:56
Christian Zibreg
Starting November 19, Microsoft will be coming a lot closer to its goal to turn the Xbox 360 into the universal home entertainment most of us will ever need. Microsoft's deal will open up the Xbox 360 to an all-you-can-eat video streaming fest that covers more than 10,000 movies and TV shows. What is unique about the Xbox-Netflix relationship is the fact that the console will get HD content, which not only pitches it against Apple's hobby project Apple TV, but also against Blu-ray.

New Wal-Mart MP3 store challenges iTunes with lower prices
October 28, 2008 - 23:56
Wolfgang Gruener
Wal-Mart relaunched its MP3 store with more than 3 million DRM-free songs in a much cleaner layout and new store navigation features. As Wal-Mart's overall music sales are falling behind Apple's iTunes, the company knows it will not be able to compete in terms of content selection. Conceivably, pricing will be the next battlefield – an area where Apple is vulnerable and possibly the only opportunity for one Wal-Mart to score wins in the near future.

Again---why don't you ask your other 42,000+ Protestant, inconsistent, contradiction and conflicting denominations. Each one will give their own distorted "personal opinionated hodge-podge" of (mis-interpretation) and "spin" of each bible verse.

Sister Machine Gun
Better Than Me
Sister Machine Gun---Better Than Me
Written by: Chris Randall
Burnin' is my condition, baby now,
Burnin' with everything that I see.
Burnin' is my solution, baby now,
I know you think that you're better than me.
[musical interlude]
(I know you think that you're better than me)
I can barely feel like anything.
I can barely see.
I can walk over broken glass,
That cuts like a razor through my fantasies.
I can be whatever I want to.
It doesn't matter to me.
I sit and stare at this gun,
Pointed at my head and think about all the possibilities.
I never needed to feel any self control.
I never had to believe,
In anything, but my desire to never be,
What you tell me to be.
I can die whenever I want to.
It doesn't matter to me.
Take the easy way out,
To end all of my responsibilities.
CHORUS (x2)
[music to end]

A house in Gilbert was severely damaged by fire Friday morning.
A passer-by called 911 after seeing the fire about 6 a.m. at the home near Gilbert and Elliott roads, according to Capt. Mark Justus of the Gilbert Fire Department.
Firefighters had to cut a hole in the roof to ventilate toxic gases, but no injuries were reported, Justus said.
No one was home when the fire broke out, Justus said.
The fire's cause had not been determined.
No other information was immediately available.

Eat Pray Love: What to read next
"Eat Pray Love" hits theaters this weekend. What are the 10 best women's travel books to read after you see it ?
"Eat Pray Love," due to open in theatres on Aug. 13, will make the perfect summer movie. I mean, come August, is there anyone – male or female – who doesn't want to live vicariously as Julie Roberts gorges on gelato, bicycles through exotic sunlit landscapes, and ultimately proves the universe to be a remarkably benevolent habitat?

But let's not forget that the movie comes from the bestselling book "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert – and her story of a woman visiting farflung points of the globe on a voyage of self-discovery is lovely but hardly unique. If you come out of your multiplex with a hunger for more such stories, you might start by looking up some of the titles on this list put together by The Globe Corner Bookstores of Cambridge, Mass:.
1. "Gertrude Bell: Queen of the Desert, Shaper of Nations" by Georgina Howell
2. "Passionate Nomad: The Life of Freya Stark" by Jane Fletcher Geniesse
3."Down the Nile: Alone in a Fisherman's Skiff" by Rosemary Mahoney
4. "The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh: A Woman in World History" by Linda Colley
5. "Out of Africa" and "Shadows on the Grass" by Isak Dinesen
6. "The Best Women's Travel Writing 2010," edited by Stephanie Elizondo Griest
It's a fine list but this genre is so rich that I can't resist adding four more:
7. "West with the Night" by Beryl Markham
8. "Full Tilt: Ireland to India with a Bicycle" by Dervia Murphy
9. "Tracks: A Women's Solo Trek Across 1,700 Miles of Australian Outback" by Robyn Davidson
10. "Kabul Beauty School: An American Woman Goes Behind the Veil" by Deborah Rodriquez and Kristin Ohlson

Open API
This article does not cite any references or sources. (November 2007) |
This article is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay rather than an encyclopedic description of the subject. (November 2007) |
The term API stands for Application Programming Interface.
The term "Open API" has been recently in use by recent trends in social media and Web 2.0. It is currently a heavily sought after solution to interconnect websites in a more fluid user-friendly manner. Open API also applies to collaborative services environments where managed service providers can also outsource specific services to other providers via systems integration. For example, companies like Level Platforms provide an open API to adapt to any business offering within the managed service environment.
With the advent of the Facebook Platform, launched June 1st 2007, Facebook incorporated an open API into its business model.
OpenSocial is currently being developed by Google in conjunction with MySpace and other social networks including Bebo.com, Engage.com, Friendster, hi5, Hyves, imeem, LinkedIn, Ning, Oracle, orkut, Plaxo, Salesforce.com, Six Apart, Tianji, Viadeo, and XING. The ultimate goal is for any social website to be able to implement the APIs and host third party social applications.
"Open API" is also becoming very popular among technical software, for collaboration between different trades such as architects and engineers. Since there is different software for designing structures, buildings, these trades find a way to use each other's work through "Open API". For example, an architect can draw in CAD software and engineers can implement these plans into their software.

Ok, I am watching tons of questions everyday because people are lazy to search and read. There is even a topic with answers to repeated threads, which I advice everyone to look at before posting. So, I will just mix some posts I have came across with and my personal experience. I hope that this will end the tons of useless threads containing a sentence in the spirit of "I am a noob help me". This question comes of course after you decide what class to pick. This guide is for Bladers so I will not touch subjects like FB or FA, WA whatever. Whoever feels like adding something is more than welcome to.
Let's see first the Stats and their distribution for Blader in particular:
Blader | Str | Int | Dex | HP | MP |
Base Stats | 16 | 3 | 16 | 50 | 20 |
Atk |0.25 | -- |0.25 | -- | -- |
Magic | 0.1 | 0.3 | 0.1 | -- | -- |
Def |0.167| -- |0.167| -- | -- |
Hit Rate | 2 | 0.4 | 2 | -- | -- |
Def Rate | 1.2 | 0.1 | 1.2 | -- | -- |
To give you an insight of what this chart symbolizes. Basically this is what you get by adding one point to a particular stat. Not much imagination needed here as they are three- STR, INT and DEX. As you can see for Blader it doesn't matter how you distribute points between STR and DEX so all you have to take into consideration while choosing what to upgrade is gear dependant. INT is useless for Blader as it raises magic and it should be kept minimal.
Here is what the different attributes stand for:
"Defense decreases dmg taken from monsters
Defense rate increases chance on dodging attacks (miss)
Attack increases your dmg towards enemy
Attack rate increases chance to hit (less miss)
Though defrate isen't so important at early stage, it will become important at higher lvls.
Attack rate is totally useless since your practicly combo all the time, unless your lazy."
(quoting Alwin in this thread http://forum.cabalonline.com/showthread.php?t=936)
So now you should know which stats to raise.
Now moving to a very tricky subject- What skills should I take?
Here is a chart what you get upon raising different ranks:
----------------- | -----------Sword Skills------------ | -----------Magic Skills-------------|
Novice -------- |------------No bonuses------------- |-----------No bonuses--------------|
Apprentice ---- |-Str+4/Dex+4/HP+20/MP+10---- |-Int+4/Dex+4/MP+20/HP+10---- |
Regular --------|-Str+6/Dex+6/HP+30/MP+15---- |-Int+6/Dex+6/MP+30/HP+15---- |
Expert ---------|-Str+8/Dex+8/HP+40/MP+20-----|-Int+8/Dex+8/MP+40/HP+20-----|
A.Expert ------ |-Str+10/Dex+10/HP+50/MP+25--|-Int+10/Dex+10/MP+50/HP+25- |

Blader sword skills before update:

Double Slash/Apprentice
Triple Slash/Apprentice
Blade Force/Regular
Death Cross/Regular

Iron Skin/Expert
Mirage Step/A.Expert

Lightning Slash- Completer
Instant Immunity- G.Master
Force Kick- Expert
Field of Fear- Transcender
Resist intension- Master
Soul Blade- G.Master
Art of Fierceness- Completer
Intense Blade- Transcender
Natural Hiding- A. Master
Intuition- Completer
Upgrade skills:
Vitality Mastery/Novice- Increase max HP
Mana Mastery/Novice - Increase max MP
Reflex/Apprentice- Increase defense rate
Sharp Eyes/Apprentice- Increase hit rate
Offensive Sense/Regular- Increase physical damage
Defensive Sense/Regular- Increase defense
Force Control/Regular Increase magical damage
Change Force (Sword to Magic)/Expert - Sword skill exp becomes magic skill exp
Change Force (Magic to Sword/Expert - Magic skill exp becomes sword skill exp
Impact Control/G.Master Greatly increase physical damage
Damage Absorb/G.Master Greatly increase defense
Eyes of Mind/G.Master Greatly increase hit rate
Sixth Sense/G.Master Greatly increase defense rate
Ruling Force/G.Master Greatly increase magical damage.
BM modes:
BM 1: Illusionist - Increases your abilities by even more than what aura mode can provide.
BM 2: Grappler/Blader - Transform your dual swords into dual astral claws. Abilities are enhanced beyond Battle Mode I.
Crushing Blow - A deadly skill that can 1 hit KO many monsters when a critical hit is dealt. If a critical hit is not achieved, intense damage is still dealt. Max damage with critical is around 6k, so it cannot 1 hit KO everything. Only usable when you are in BM 2.
Now you know the sword skills, you know the upgrades. This leads to the following question- which ones should I keep? Which ones should I get?
Some cool downs :
There are a bunch of theories and different skills players use. The "must have" though are pretty obvious:
Aura Barrier- Buff (HP and def increase)
Iron Skin- Buff (HP and def increase)
Vital Interfere- Stun
Mirage Step- Buff (Def rate increase)
Force kick- Stun
Soul Blade- Buff (Attack increase)
Lightning Slash- Attack skill
Blade Scud- Attack skill
All new skills are mandatory! You need to be competitive against other classes.
Now here some players differ in attack skills they choose. I myself use: Lightning Slash, Blade Scud, Blade Cry, Mirage Grind, Vital Interfere, Twin Moon Slash, Storm Grind.
Some other players use Double Rising and Assault. So it is up to you to choose.
Please find below some very good topics regarding attack skills and combo combinations. Combo's differ in PVE and PVP. PVE combo's are usually slower as overall damage matters most. PVP combo's are dependent on speed => Damage per second.
Now what we didn't discuss are the Upgrades you should take:
Here your choice depends on the following- PVP or PVE build
PVP Upgrades: Vitality Mastery, Defensive sense, Offensive sense, Damage absorb, Impact control and Sixth sense.
PVE Upgrades: Vitality Mastery, Reflex, Offensive sense, Sixth sense, Damage absorb, Impact control
If you add Reflex you gain more Defense rate and is more suitable for Martialset Bladers.
If you add Defensive sense you gain more Defense and is more suitable for Armorset Bladers.
Congratulations- you just picked the upgrades, your skills, you gathered some stat points. Now…let's talk about gear.
Pro's and con's for Martial/ Armorset
This is a quite extensive topic but I will try to touch the basics. The main argument concerns
Mystic Martialset and Osmium Armorset
I will not talk about Mithril- still very rare and hard to obtain. No Mithril crafters on Mars, if Mercury people can add something to the subject I will appreciate it.
So Mystic Martialset:
- More defense rate than Osmium Armor
- More defense at +6 than Osmium Armor
- Harder and more expensive to get 2 slotted piece
- Not many crafters (on Mars ) to enhance your Mystic gear
- Rare lvl 2 upgrades in slot
Osmium Armorset:
- Plenty of 2 slotted Osmium Armor gear with great crafting bonuses and lvl 2 upgrades
- Decent defense at +6 and +7
- Poor defense rate
As you can see if you opt for more bonuses in the gear your choice will definitely be Osmium Armorset. Simple fact is there are plenty of 2 slotted items and crafters to make it even better- from HP increase, Amp and Crit rate/damage to Extra defense.
Katana or Blade:
It doesn't matter really- as long as you have the stats. Basic rule: Blades require more STR, Katana's- DEX. Again crafting bonuses determine the type of weapon you will choose. In my opinion Blades look cooler and add more to your attack (4-6 points additionally).
You can have sword amp, crit damage, crit rate bonuses in your weapons.
Stats for Blades and Katana's on official web site:
You've chosen the set to go for, you have the skills...you have the stats, you have the weapons…what is left- jewelry.
Epaulette- Three types here: of Sage (useless for BL), of Guard and of Fighter.
My recommendation is to get both Guard and Fighter especially on higher lvls. Fighter increases attack and gives amp, Guard gives you defense and increases flee rate. So as you can see they both give different cool bonuses- one for the PVP set, other- for PVE.
Stats increase in official web site:
Earrings- Well for Blader you can get Vampiric or Guard.. Vampiric is best if you opt for a PVE Mystic set with HP steal as bonuses for +3 or +4 are pretty cool.
Guard is a good choice if you opt for more defense and flee rate. Force regeneration- crap in my opinion.
Stats increase in official web site:
Bracelet- Fighter or Extortion. Fighter- PVP and PVE usable because of attack and amp bonus, as well as nice minimum damage boost. Extortion – PVE ideal to combine with leaching gear.
Stats increase in official web site:
Amulets- Here the choice depends on type of gear you wear to enhance either PVP or PVE set. Four choices- of Guard, Vamipic, of Battler, of Pain. Battler, Vampiric and Pain are craft only, Guard drops until +7.
Look at stats and choose for yourself:
Vampiric and Guard are orientated mostly for PVE gear, while Battler and Pain can be worn with both set types.
Rings- Not much choices here- Ring of Luck +2 for 15% crit rate, or Ring of Fighter for complexity of stats increase- you get defense, attack and crit. Extortion for leaching gear although if you get the bonuses from other crafted parts they are useless.

This book is an optional set text for the Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) Exam 2010 Writing Paper, it can be read in preparation for the two optional set text tasks. It is a luminous spring day in Venice, as Commissario Brunetti and Inspettore Vianello take a break from the Questura to come to the rescue of Vianello's friend Marco Ribetti, who has been arrested while protesting against chemical pollution of the Venetian lagoon, only to be faced by the fury of Marco's father-in-law, owner of a glass factory on the island of Murano. But it is not Marco who has uncovered the guilty secret of the polluting glass foundries of the island of Murano, nor he whose body is found dead in front of the furnaces which burn at 1400 degrees, night and day. The victim has left clues in a copy of Dante and Brunetti must descend into an inferno to discover who is burning the land and fouling the waters of the lagoon. A man is dead - but will politics and expedience prevent the killer from striking again? ISBN : 9780099536536 Autor : LEON, DONNA Pais Edición : ENGLAND Nº Edición : 2007 Encuadernación : PAPERBACK |
