The Fur Rendezvous which takes place in February, is a uniquely Alaskan Celebration that was started in the late 1930s.Winter in Alaska is awfully long, dark and cold. The local citizens needed something to cheer them up and miners and trappers came to town at that time. So a festival breaking up the winter season was very welcome. It also gave everyone a fun way to exchange their goods.
Originally, the Fur Rendezvous was three days of sports tournaments, a fur auction, bonfire, torchlight parade and a sled dog race for children down Fourth Avenue of Anchorage.
A number of other events have been added through the years, and some of the sports have changed, but the sled dog races still start on Fourth Avenue.
The Fur Rendezvous has now become a ten day celebration with a tremendous number of events. Here are some of the highlights of this local celebration that became popular worldwide:
NOTE: "Rendezvous" is a french word which means, a meeting or coming together of people. The local Alaskans often say, "Rondy" in place of the longer version.
• Basketball Tournament - This was one of the original events of the Fur Rendezvous and because it's an indoor event, it gives you a chance to get out of the cold.
• Carnival of the Rondy - What would a festival be without a carnival? And this one is different from most by being held in one of the coldest months of the year - in Alaska, that is.
• Fur Auction - The Alaska Trappers Association continues to put on the Fur Auction which was one of the original events. And it is why this celebration was named, "Fur Rendezvous".
• Grand Parade of the Rondy - This takes place on 5th and 6th Avenue, two of the main downtown Anchorage streets. Again, this was one of its original events and has always been there.
• Grand Prix Auto Race - A traditional Rondy event. And where else would you think of having a street race in the winter, except in Alaska!
• Hockey Tournaments - These outdoor competitions were one of the original events and has been returned as part of this celebration for some years. They are held in the local parks.
• Sled Dog Races - In 1946, the local sled dog race became "World Championship Sled Dog Races". This is a three day event in itself. People come from all over the world to take part in them. There are also smaller sled dog races that less experienced "mushers" can take part in.
• Snowshoe Softball - A traditional Rondy event. You'll probably never see this one anyplace else, so here's your chance.
• Eskimo Blanket Toss - In 1950, Eskimos were brought from Nome and Little Diomede Island for the Fur Rendezvous. They performed some of their Native Tribal Dances as well as one of their traditional sports - the Blanket Toss. The last is like a human trampoline. A group of Natives hold a circular fur hide tightly while one person gets on it, and is tossed up in the air by those holding the hide. They perform gymnastic feats this way.
• Miner's and Trapper's Ball - This has been a long time Fur Rondy event and includes the famous beard growing contest.
From at least the 1940's, they had a "law" that all men had to grow beards at this time of year and if they didn't, they were fined! Of course, everyone followed this tradition in good humor. Beards were often dyed, shaped and decorated. I know of one fellow who made his beard look like the Alaskan flag!
This event is a lot of fun and designed to provide funding for many of the local charities.
• Multi-tribal Gathering - An event for young and old. The Alaska Native cultures perform their traditional dances in the Egan Center, in downtown Anchorage.
In addition to the above, there are theater productions that celebrate Alaska's History, ice skating performances, airshow displays, snow sculpture competitions, and many other games, dances, shows, contests, displays and rides, too numerous to mention. Many are provided by local vendors.
And when you start freezing and need to go inside and warm up, you can try such things as the Open Table Tennis Championships where anyone can participate! Or many other sit down tournaments and competitions in the local community centers. Or you can pop into one of the local restaurants for some hot beverages.
Despite the many new activities, the Fur Rendezvous has never lost its Alaskan flavor. You'll find such things as a Reindeer Sausage Eating Contest! The Alaskan Natives are also an important part of the celebration, as they should be. In addition to their performances, they display and sell their beautiful native handicrafts at the local Dimond Mall. This is a "must" to see.
To give you a better idea of the numerous events that take place each year, here is the schedule for the 2010 event.
So if you are a winter visitor in Alaska, help Alaskans enjoy one of their most important and lengthy celebrations. Join them for the now-famous Fur Rendezvous!

Inbox: Is this Weeks' last season with Brewers?
Beat reporter Adam McCalvy answers fans' questions
If the Brewers are not considering a multi-year deal with Rickie Weeks anymore, should we assume that this would be his last year in a Brewers uniform? It seems that our team might look very different in 2012 than 2011.
-- Terry L., Chicago
Have a question about the Brewers?
E-mail your query to MLB.com Brewers beat reporter Adam McCalvy for possible inclusion in a future Inbox column. Letters may be edited for brevity, length and/or content.
Do you see the Brewers making any more moves before Spring Training?
-- Tim M., Milwaukee
-- Ryan H., Milwaukee Note that pitchers and catchers will work out for the first time on Feb. 17, though I'm sure there will be plenty of guys already on-site on the 16th. And yes, those workouts typically take place on a clover-shaped quartet of fields open to the public. I know that some fans actually prefer visiting Spring Training during those first two weeks because of the great access to players. I'm not exactly sure how manager Ron Roenicke will run his camp, but in the past, players have taken the field at about 9 a.m. With Greinke more than likely getting the Opening Day nod, will Gallardo or Marcum care if they slide into the No. 4 slot not only to be the home opener starting pitcher, but to break up the two lefties?
-- David D., Edgerton, Wis. Already trying to line up the starting rotation -- right up my alley. That's an interesting idea by David, but if you take a closer look, the schedule actually breaks up the left-handers for you. If I'm counting correctly, you could keep the top four pitchers on an every-five-day schedule in April and only need a fifth starter (Narveson) once in the first 14 games, only three times all month and never next to the other left-hander (Wolf). I have Wolf as the Brewers' starter for the April 4 home opener. The interesting question becomes Gallardo vs. Marcum for the 2-3 slots. If you pitch Gallardo in Game 2 against the Reds, you get him in the finale against the Braves (he's 2-0 with a 1.27 ERA in four career starts against Atlanta). If you pitch Marcum in Game 2 and hold Gallardo for Game 3, you get him in the opener against the Cubs (Gallardo is 3-1 with a 3.19 ERA in seven career starts against Chicago). Either way, it's a good matchup. Nobody is asking, but I like the idea of holding Gallardo for the Cubs. He'd still get the same number of April starts. So, I would do it like this for the first four weeks: March 31 at Reds: Greinke
April 1: off
April 2 at Reds: Marcum
April 3 at Reds: Gallardo
April 4 vs. Braves: Wolf (L)
April 5 vs. Braves: Greinke
April 6 vs. Braves: Narveson (L)
April 7 vs. Braves: Marcum
April 8: vs. Cubs: Gallardo
April 9 vs. Cubs: Wolf (L)
April 10 vs. Cubs: Greinke
April 11: off
April 12 at Pirates: Marcum
April 13 at Pirates: Gallardo
April 14 at Pirates: Wolf (L)
April 15 at Nationals: Greinke
April 16 at Nationals: Narveson (L)
April 17 at Nationals: Marcum
April 18 at Phillies: Gallardo
April 19 at Phillies: Wolf (L)
April 20 at Phillies: Greinke
April 21: off
April 22 vs. Astros: Marcum
April 23 vs. Astros: Gallardo
April 24 vs. Astros: Wolf (L)
April 25 vs. Reds: Greinke
April 26 vs. Reds: Narveson (L)
April 27 vs. Reds: Marcum
April 28: off Back to the important stuff: I haven't heard anything about Miller Park's new scoreboard lately. What's its status?
-- Brett F., Janesville, Wis. Thanks to fans on Twitter, I've seen photos of the huge new video board in place. The Brewers and their construction partners are hoping to hang a new Miller Park sign on Tuesday, and I'll stop by to take some photos.

CATEGORIES Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Warner Brothers, Box Office, Family Films, George Lucas, James Bond, Harry Potter, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels, UK Box Office, Cinematical, UK Box OfficeThere are still two Harry Potter movies to go, but the franchise is already the top-grossing series of all time with $4.47 billion in worldwide earnings. This figure puts it above Star Wars and its sequels and prequels ($4.23 billion) and the 21 official James Bond movies plus the unofficial Never Say Never Again ($4.44 billion). The success came over Labor Day weekend as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix reached a worldwide box office gross of $923.7 million. With it continuing to take in money overseas, that number will only get bigger. And then there's the next installments, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which will add at least another billion to the franchise total. Of course, the Bond series will also continue once the Potter films are done and could regain the spot -- still, at only a quarter of the number of 007 installments, those more-family friendly Potters are doing some serious business.
Then again, there's always the issues of inflation and rising ticket prices. According to inflated adjustments, the Bond films have made $10.9 billion (provided by Wikipedia, minus Never Say Never Again). Also, according to Variety, the Star Wars movies have actually out-grossed the Harry Potter series domestically ($2.18 billion vs. $1.41 billion -- without inflation adjustments). So, as usual with box office records and announcements, this is only big news if you want it to be. Warner Bros. COO Alan Horn told Variety that it isn't about competing with franchises like Star Wars and 007; it's just bragging about a "fun number." Anyway, it never should be about what franchise makes the most money; it should be about which franchise is the best, and we all know what that is.

Foods that Fight Inflammation and Foods that Cause It
What you eat can help -- or hinder -- your body's healing process. Here's how to tell which foods are friend or foe.
What causes inflammation?
Sure, you may feel fine, but somewhere in your body, something is inflamed. "Inflammation crops up constantly," says Sacha Elliott, a Vancouver-based naturopathic doctor. "Wherever there's tissue damage, an infection, toxins, irritants or even in the process of making cellular energy, your white blood cells spring into action and inflammation kicks in." But sometimes your body's natural defence mechanism gets a little overzealous, causing chronic inflammation that can contribute to everything from allergies and arthritis to heart disease and dementia.
While it's important to see a doctor or a health practitioner to help you determine and, if possible, treat the underlying cause of any chronic inflammation, the right food can also help.
"Because more than about 70 percent of our immune-system cells are found in the lining of the digestive tract, you can deal with a lot of inflammation through diet," says Julie Daniluk, a Toronto-based registered holistic nutritionist and the author of Meals that Heal Inflammation.
"In general, eating foods that are fresh, decreasing your reliance on red meats and full-fat dairy and opting for more lean protein sources, as well as watching your refined-carbohydrate intake, will help with reducing inflammation," says Anar Allidina, a registered dietitian in Toronto. Here are some key foods that may help fight inflammation and some to help prevent the problem in the first place.
Olive oil
"Extra-virgin olive oil is loaded with polyphenols, which have properties that decrease inflammation," says Allidina.

Once again, Liverpool's top athletes are going to be chasing medals when the 31st edition of the Empire State Games gets underway in Binghamton and other Southern Tier locales.
Thousands of competitors from six regions (Central, Western, Adirondack, Hudson Valley, New York City and Long Island) will be entered in more than two dozen sports in events that start July 24 and run through July 27.
Here is a scan of who will be going to the Empire Games.
Track and Field
In the ESG meet at SUNY-Binghamton, Monica Ridgeway is entered in three open women's throwing events -- the discus, hammer and shot put. Jessica Ball joins her in the high jump, and Ethan Hickey runs in the open men's 5,000-meter event.
On the scholastic women's side, Harmony Cross will cover seven events in two days during the heptathlon. Wanetta Rodney represents Liverpool in the 100-meter dash as her Warrior teammate, Trina Bills, runs in the 2,000-meter steeplechase.
In a busy ESG meet at SUNY-Cortland's Park Center, Carly Jones could race three times in individual open women's events, including the 100 and 200-meter breaststroke and 200 individual medley. Kevin Murphy could do the same on the open men's side in both individual breaststroke races, plus the 50 freestyle. Sarah Stroup gets a shot in the open women's 800 freestyle.
Zoe McCauley leads the Liverpool scholastic women's contingent as she goes in the 400 and 800 freestyle, joined by Renee Stromski (400 freestyle) and Antoinette Esce (1,500 freestyle). Cory Spado is there, too, in the scholastic men's 400 individual medley.
Ice Hockey
Joey Wilson is one of the top forwards in the Section III ranks, and will be expected to do much for Central's scholastic men's team at Broome County Community College, while Kathleen Conese returns to the ESG on the scholastic women's side at Chenango Ice Rink.

Malkovich still not VoldemortMovies
May 03, 2004, 02:36 PM
The John Malkovich as Voldemort rumor - despite being denied by BBC - has persisted in emails, and around the Web. Now we've heard a very shaky rumor the actor has said he took the part for his daughter.
He is not and will not be Voldemort. Firstly, he's not-UK born - strike one quoted by trusted sources. A WB source also says, "They are not even considering him."

Web Design Boise Answers: Does Every Business Need A Web Presence?
A lot of smaller businesses today are undecided whether or not they need to develop a website to allow potential consumers to purchase products online or further market their services. Since of course, developing a web site involves both time and expense and hiring someone else to do the job on your behalf costs even more. Well, it might not be as hard or pricey as you may think if you are using Web Design Boise.
The Simple Fact of the Matter is this:
No one will ever see your website if you don't show up on the first page of the search engines. So graphics are not the key to getting business on the Internet. Old fashioned Search Engine Optimization is a better bang for the buck!
A certain amount of business owners might even think that since their company only consists of an employee or two, they really have no need for an online presence. Still some other companies may not even want to sell their products online. What one factor does everyone of these businesses have in common? Contrary to popular belief, they could all reap the benefits of having an online business.
If you think maybe your company is too small to require a website, think again. Even a small business run by just one person will benefit from an online presence. The more people you market your products and services to, the more profits you may well make. Without a web presence, you are losing out on valuable customers.
As with large corporations, small businesses require customers to be able to make money. When you dont have a website, you are losing sales to other companies that provide a product or service comparable to yours. Sure setting up a web site will take some time but it will be well worth the money. Also, it's a piece of cake to distribute information including common questions, contact information, and product information. You don't have to constantly deal with prospective customers while they still find out the information they need.
There are several small companies these days that make the majority of their income from online sales. Your small business could very well be one of those companies in the future. Why don't you make the effort today to discover how budget friendly a website design for your business is? When someone learns about your business they pay attention to contact information a lot more than you might think. You can have a professional looking website that gives your company online credibility.
How your site looks to the public is almost as important as the products and solutions you offer. Even companies that do not wish to sell online or those who feel their products would be challenging to market online, can still reap the benefits of a professionally designed site. First of all, there are not too many products today that aren't being sold online. Because of the emergence of bidding sites like Ebay, even larger items which include automobiles and real estate are being sold. Ecommerce oftentimes happens to be the way to do business. With your own site, you can begin cashing in on some of this online revenue.
Business's who don't choose to sell online may feel a website is a complete waste of time and money. However, this couldn't be farther from the truth. All businesses can reap some benefits from Internet marketing even if they do not sell online. By having a professional looking site, you are making your available products or services known to the public. Just because shoppers cannot use their charge card to buy online through your company, many will still be willing to contact you when you present your products in a professional manner.
By giving out your company contact info such as email, fax, phone number, and physical address, potential customers have many ways through which to contact you. It will always be a wise idea to list your street address even for individuals that are located out of state or in a different country. When people see this it often makes them feel more secure about ordering from you. Once customers have got into contact with you about purchases, then you're able to make payment arrangements for products. You might wish to receive checks by mail or take their credit card information over the phone to process orders. Some customers might even be within driving distance of your business.
By having a website, you have made your existence known to customers both locally and across the country. No matter what your type of business, a website will increase customer revenue.
At Web Design of Boise
We don't hold you hostage like some Boise web designers. We don't buy your domain name for you and control your business. We help you find a good domain name and register it yourself because the domain name controls your website.
We don't hide your site from you. If we host your site for you we give you the URL to your site control panel and an admin logon so you can log into your web site.
We don't force you to use us to make small changes to your web site. We are more than happy to train you to take care of your own site.
So Call Us Now!

He's the best in the Premiership according to the stats. Even better than Mignolet this season. Hard to argue really.
for the details. I know, it's the Mail - hard to take in Sunderland, but it's a heart warming read for the faithful.
Postponement of the City game might work out fractionally in Sunderland's favour. You both needed to win it and when push comes to shove, I'd have to give it to City in the league. Cup final... different matter. Hopefully, you'll come up against City when they need it less... (Chelsea dropping points already helps).

Hampshire councils make £10m profit from parking
6:02am Wednesday 9th January 2013 in Politics By Patrick Knox, Senior Reporter
HAMPSHIRE councils raked in nearly £10m in parking charges in just a year, the Daily Echo can reveal today.
Town hall bosses are making huge profits from hardpressed motorists at a time when they are cutting services and petrol prices remain sky high.
Campaigners accused local authorities of using car owners as a "cash cow" and warned that parking charges were discouraging drivers from shopping in centres.
In 2011/12 alone, drivers provided £9.8m for council coffers – an increase of 44 per cent on the previous year – according to official figures from the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Southampton City Council turned a £2.5m loss in 2010/11 into a £1.3m profit the following year – while in the same period Winchester City Council more than doubled its windfall to £2.7m Eastleigh Borough Council made a £1.25m profit from parking in 2011/12 – a 27 per cent increase.
Matthew Sinclair, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: "This massive rise in parking charges over the last year suggests that councils are using already hard-pressed motorists as a cash cow.
"The councils' actions will seem all the more unfair to drivers when they discover that these local authorities have been reducing spending on highways.
"What's more, these hikes in parking charges are likely to have discouraged people from driving into town centres to go shopping, meaning that high street businesses suffer too."
But Southampton City Council insisted parking revenue was vital because the city was facing its worst budget cuts ever.
Councillor Asa Thorpe, cabinet member for transport and environment, said: "Southampton City Council spends more than £50m a year on transport services and we are currently facing budget cuts of up to £20m.
"Parking revenue helps lessen the effect of these cuts as they can be spent on transport services such as filling potholes and road improvement projects.
"The council's income from parking revenue in 2011/12 was 17 per cent higher than 2010/11 which reflects smaller outgoings than the previous year."
Eastleigh Borough Council leader Cllr Keith House said parking charges were a vital way of maintaining services and keeping council tax below inflation.
Each council's total parking profit from fees, fines and permits was calculated after the amount spent on road maintenance and improvements.
Simon Best, chief executive of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM), which complied the figures, said: "Councils are making recordbreaking profits from parking, while cutting road safety spending on life-saving services such as education for young drivers, cycle training and safe routes to schools schemes.
"At the same time cuts to road maintenance will mean a backlog of repairs which will simply cost more to fix in the long term."
Local Government Minister Brandon Lewis said: "Under our local government finance reforms, councils will now benefit from calling off the war on the motorist, encouraging shoppers and growing their town centres.
"Income from on-street and off-street parking only rose by 3.7 per cent in the last year, which is lower than the prevailing rate of inflation."
Winchester City Council was unavailable to comment.

Why does anyone who is able bodied feel the need to drive into a town centre for leisure/shopping purposes? You deserve all you get. I'd triple the charges if it was down to me. Its about 2 quid for a bus trip into the nearest town, so you dont have to pay for fuel or parking. No brainer really.

(10/01/12) - There was no fight. No reports of alcohol smuggled in.
Instead, Grand Blanc High School Principal Jennifer Hammond says it was inappropriate dancing that prompted the removal of more than two dozen students from the homecoming dance Saturday.
In a letter put out to parents and obtained by ABC12, Hammond says, "For the past few years, the manner in which our students have been dancing has become inappropriate and at times, downright lewd and overtly sexual."
"It has gotten so bad that many staff members no longer want to chaperone the dances."
The letter indicates a decision was made, last spring, to enforce a face-to-face only rule in order to continue to have the dances.
14-year-old Freshmen McKenna Hale says she found herself leaving the homecoming dance almost as soon as she arrived with her date and large group of friends.
"Half my group got kicked out for inappropriately dancing and our whole group had to leave," she says.
Hale says she didn't see anything different then what you'd typically see at a school dance.
Other students we spoke with saw it the same way.
Many said large groups left the dance once the initial couples were asked to leave. About 700 students stayed, according to Hammond's letter.
In the letter to parents, Hammond explains about 15 couples were removed because "...they refused to dance face-to-face."
Hammond's letter indicates students sign a dance policy, at least one announcement was made prior to Saturday and then again before the dance Saturday. The rules were also outlined on ticket stubs.
Hale says she and her friends now considering skipping out on the next scheduled dance - the Sadie Hawkins dance.
"They're trying to prove a point but I don't think they're going the right way around it," Hale says.
ABC12 did not hear back from Hammond or the district's superintendent Monday.
Several parents have said there was a similar situation, involving inappropriate dancing, at Swartz Creek's homecoming last week. The majority of parents we spoke with Monday applauded the decision to remove the students if they were acting inappropriately. Some said they just wish the situation had been handled differently.

CLARKSVILLE, Ind. (WDRB) -- Indiana banned the sale of bath salts and K2 in July after hundreds of reported overdoses. But investigators say dealers have already found ways to get around the new law.
Police raided a Clarksville smoke shop earlier this month after authorities claimed the owner Tyre Grinage was selling bath salts. Days later, Grinage made a surprising statement to WDRB.
"I had it for sale, you know what I'm saying," said Grinage on August 11. "I'm not hiding nothing."
Grinage admitted the "Zoom 2" seized by investigators is a bath salt, but claimed its listed chemicals are not illegal under Indiana's bath salt law that took effect July 1st. "I make sure each products are allowed to be sent over here, possessed over here and sealed over here," says Grinage.
The act bans certain chemical compounds found in bath salts and synthetic marijuana, like K2.
"We now have one of the strongest laws in the country," The author of the law, state senator Ron Alting (R-Lafayette) said.
But other members of law enforcement including Clark County Deputy prosecutor Jeremy Mull says the law doesn't go far enough just banning chemical ingredients. "Once you outlaw certain drugs, they go to work trying to create a drug that's not under the statute but has similar effects," says Mull
But reports show the law only bans 19 of 400 known synthetic weed substances. Mull says if lawmakers continue to ban bath salts and K2 based on their chemical ingredients, retailers will always be one step ahead. "Yeah it's a constant back and forth battle that law enforcement has with these chemist who are wanting to produce illegal substances," says Mull.
Indiana's Poison Control reports 300 bath salts incidents this year. It mimics illegal drugs like methamphetamine or ecstasy and users report having hallucinations or even suicidal tendencies. Mull says in just 2 months Indiana's law is making a big dent in these types of cases, even if they're constantly playing catch-up
"It creates a lot of work when people are selling them, claiming they're legal but clearly they're having effects similar to controlled substances," said Mull.
Another frustration for many police departments: they usually don't have the right equipment to test bath salts and other substances like K2 in field. Typically, they have to send samples to a lab and results can sometimes take weeks.

Perjury's comment, May 25, 7:28 AM
I think it's a little unfair to describe Google as 'behaving badly' (in this instance anyway). Google has to constantly tweak its algorithms to keep one step ahead of the spammers and spammy sites: this is a good thing. It is unfortunate that some otherwise legitimate and non-spammy sites will be negatively affected as well by these imperfect and 'blind' algorithms.
Stephen Dale's comment, May 26, 3:31 AM
I agree - Google are no worse than any other proprietary search engine vendor, except they are the biggest, and consequently likely to attract the most attention. I wonder though, howe many people think they are getting the most relevant results for any search query, as opposed to the skewed results that come from machine algorithms? Hence my point about the greater transparency available from human-curated content (e.g. lists). Not that these are perfect, but you know how the content had been created.
Perjury's comment, May 26, 7:22 AM
That's precisely why Google constantly tweaks its algorithm - to ensure you get the 'most relevant' results not ones skewed by spammers. Of course, it does also depend on what you mean by 'most relevant'.

For last several years, technology industry is preparing for the Internet of things, a type of computing characterized by small, often dumb, usually unseen computers attached to objects. These devices sense and transmit data about the environment or offer new means of controlling it.
As computers with wireless capability become cheap, it's becoming affordable to connect more things to the Internet, like sensors in sewer pipes, factory machinery, lights, and home appliances.
What are some new applications of Internet of Things, that you are looking to leverage in the next 3 years?

Interesting checklist for those who develop their own materials
Robin Good's curator insight, March 24, 11:25 AM
Lutz Finger, reports from SxSW on the topic of algorithms, curation and the future, as the skills of content creators, data analysts and code programmers are seemingly converging for the first time.
Among others, he reports Steve Rosenbaum (founder of Magnify.net) significant own words at SxSW: "...a wise combination of human judgement enabled by algorithms will become the new king of content."
But while there are great new tools, startups and ideas leveraging the great potential of big data and human curation, there is a big, invisible danger, still looming on us.
"The danger is that any algorithm might fall prey to someone trying to influence it.
But the biggest and realest danger lies in us.

It was not a great game to be at for a Spurs fan. The late start time at least gave me a chance to show up early and, hopefully, snag a sig from my namesake. However, after leaving work a little late, needing to gas up, grab some grub, drive about an hour, park and walk maybe 3/4 mile, and pick up tickets at will call, there was no chance for an adult fanboy's dream to come true.
Was this an ominous sign for what would occur during the game?
Nah, I don't believe in that stuff.
The game, as you probably know, was competitive for a good chunk of the first quarter. The rest of the way, the lead seemed to hang in the 10-14 point range. There are some good things and some bad things that happened -- from our "Spurs fan perspective," it was mostly bad.
This is what I noticed (before looking at any box score):
Boozer was really, really good. He rebounded, hit jumpers, channeled his inner Hakeem Olajuwon with a couple of fadeaways, and maybe even showed some Duncan-like play. I say this at the risk of committing blasphemy. Oh, and speaking of Duncan, Boozer's usually much-maligned defense, combined with LOTS of help D, really helped limit Timmy.
Duncan looked like he struggled physically. Whether it's age, health, or a combination of the two, he did not look quick or sharp. There must have been five instances where he either got blocked, stripped, or tied up for a jump ball.
Parker was dominant in the first half. There were moments when he literally was a one-man fast break. A 1-on-4 fast break, even. And getting three-point plays while he was doing it. In the second half, however, things changed.
DeJuan Blair is a man. This guy was born in 1989. Nineteen eighty-nine! I was there -- at the game, not at DeBeast's birth -- with a buddy (he was rooting for the Jazz, but he's chill. By the way, I was sitting close to several Spurs fans, so that was decent), and we were looking at both teams' rosters and noticing that we were older than plenty of the players. My buddy couldn't believe he was older than all of the Jazz players except for a couple. But the number that jumped out was 1989.
Speaking of Blair, he really just manned his way around inside. Defensive rebound? Check. Offensive rebound? Check. Putback with three guys surrounding him? Check. Spin around a bigger, slower defender and use the rim to shield himself from the defense, then finish with a reverse lay-in? Check. Seriously, if you give this cat close to 35 minutes per game, he is a strong contender for Rookie of the Year.
Deron Williams is an outstanding ballplayer. But we all knew that. Still, he doesn't get the compliment of being called "otstanding."

An ESPN production (scheduled to air on March 12), it's slickly shot and structured like a Bruckheimer sports weepie, but director Jonathan Hock also shows the image-production of Telfair as star. Living in the projects, Telfair sees his cousin Stephon Marbury hit it rich in the NBA, while his brother Jamel Thomas, a starter at Providence, is left undrafted and has to join a European league to pay the bills. Jamel takes every precaution to ensure Sebastian's success on and off the court, coaching him to convey a "Tiger Woods" image, clean and smiling. Media and player are mutually manipulatedTelfair puts up a front, Sports Illustrated gets its cover boy, and the sneaker contract gets signed. Various other mentors want a piece: his vociferous coach Tiny, Louisville coach Rick Pitino, Adidas execs, his oldest brother Danieleven Jay-Z shows him some love. Despite all the distractions, Sebastian remains committed to basketball, as the reams of eye-popping game footage attest. The kid's got a sick hesitation move. Jumper's still spotty, though.

Stormrage Twins4
Trying out the new Dungeons today after 4.3 hit left me wondering about the Stormrage twins, Malfurion and Illidan.
In the Well of Eternity, the second dungeon from the Hour of Twilight Patch, we travel back 10,000 years in the past as we attempt to retrieve the Dragon Soul. A nice little perk upon entering the dungeon is the transformation of everyone in the party, which is fun if you don't normally play a NE. This brought me back to my early days of playing WoW when I started out as an Alliance NE priest. I do quite like how they cast too. Makes a nice change from my BE priest.
What I wondered about these two brothers was the fact that I knew they were twins but were they identical? From some illustrations I've seen it appears they could have been once upon a time, but looking at how they look in the Well of Eternity, there are distinct differences other than the colour of their skin. Malfurion has very distinct antlers while Illidan does not. What's also interesting is the fact that it wasn't just a bloodline they shared as they both loved Tyrande; however her heart early on belonged to Malfurion.
Over the years, Malfurion has taken on the traits of several forms. This includes the Hawk, Bear, Stag, and Cat. There are also glowing blue bolts along his arms, shoulders, chest and stomach. His beard has also grown much longer than before. Illidan on the other hand was transformed into a Demon Hunter once he had absorbed the powers of the dangerous arcane object known as the Skull of Gul'dan. This transformation included growing horns and the wings of a demon and burning the ground on which he walks. His eyes were also burnt out by Sargeras and replaced by orbs of mystic fire that allowed Illidan to see all forms of magic as well as arcane tattoos covering his body.
Identical or not, they are quite exceptional characters in their own right.
My Quest for Dragonwrath0
When Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest came out I'm sure a lot of people were eager to pick up the initial Quest to start their journey leading them from Tanaris into Firelands and The Nexus. If you were an offensive caster, why wouldn't you since you get a legendary caster staff to show for it. Sure it takes a lot of Guild effort at least for the bits inside Firelands but it's nice to be able to see one person in the Guild with it. Not to mention the pet that you get as a Guild reward.
When we first stepped into Firelands as a new Guild, there was no offensive caster, being newly formed. So as the only person at the time who could do the quest line I picked up the first few embers that dropped. That soon changed however, once we had a Guildie who would be a suitable recipient.
I am currently the second person eligible for the staff, even though I predominantly raid as a healer. In the past I have been known to dabble in the dark arts of Shadow. It's not new to me as I began my journey as Shadow back in Vanilla when Coolidge and I made trial characters for our upcoming BE's before BC came out. I mostly heal now and Shadow has changed a lot over the years. I must say that I do enjoy the change now and then for Heroics, old raids and even in FL on occasion.
So yesterday I managed to get the last two embers I needed for the All-Seeing Eye step. This was exciting as it meant that I could go into the Nexus and try the epic solo bit that I had heard and read quite a bit about. After hearing about the problems people were having in there I was especially eager to try this out for myself as I had read that some parts are particularly easy given our arsenal of spells.
Late last night I headed over to Coldarra which automatically plays a cut scene as soon as you enter the area.
Here you'll receive the follow-up quest from Tarecgosa Through a Glass, Darkly leading you into the Nexus to investigate.
Here's where it gets a bit interesting. I found the place to be very buggy, with Tarecgosa resetting sometimes to the beginning depending on where you died. If you can get to the flying discs stage you'll get a portal to that bit if you wipe. Also another port for the very last fight.
Upon entering you'll find Tarecgosa ahead as you enter. She'll be assisting you at the beginning until you get separated later on. Initially you'll have to fight an Arcane Sentinel and a couple of dogs. I tried this as Disc to see how hard it would be. It didn't end too well. Not long after that I switched over to Shadow to see how much further I could get. Let me warn you, in my first attempt, Tarecgosa will ice block if her health gets particularly low. She also died on that first attempt which is why I decided to go Shadow. I found that Fade and Psychic Scream worked well on the mobs and don't forget to keep moving as the Sentinel will target the spot that you're standing in which will hurt enough if you don't move.
Once you kill the first pack above, she will lead you though a hallway filled with steam jets like the ones in ICC. Easy enough to get through without taking damage.
Next you'll have another pack of one Sentinel and two dogs (exactly the same as the first lot). Once they are dead, you'll see a bit of RP going on as you get frozen as part of the storyline. A pack of three more dogs will be coming at you (which I didn't happen to see the first time). When I followed Tarecgosa (after being frozen) you will get a 4sec debuff that will slow your movement speed. What I didn't realise at the time was that I wasn't supposed to follow Tarecgosa through the gauntlet ;P Needless to say I died since I didn't know what to expect. On the second attempt, I realised that once Tarecgosa runs through the gauntlet, you're supposed to be blocked by a wall of ice. Hence the slow debuff and the pack of dogs. Killing these dogs will clear the wall allowing you to go through.
Proceed though here with caution. The mobs aggro on you depending on your proximity to them. I tried mind flaying them which worked pretty well but be careful as they tend to respawn rather quickly. The good news is that they don't have much life. Being a priest I found an extra easy, quick and fun way to get through this gauntlet. Holy Nova! Just spam that little spell of yours and you'll be through in no time.
The next bit is pretty simple. You'll find two Arcane Sentinels making a Tarecgosa sandwich. Take them out one by one and they'll be easy pickings. Next you'll need Tarecgosa to break down another wall of ice. While this is happening you'll get a pretty mean looking dog coming to stop her progress. Take him out by making sure you move when he casts and you'll be right. Don't and you'll be really hurting later.
Once the wall is down you'll see a platform maze of sorts. Pretty straightforward as you'll be jumping from platform to platform. Be sure to make use of the orbs found around the big platforms as they will provide you with a protective shield. Don't worry, there's more than enough as the buff lasts a pretty long time. I ended up using two for each platform. Navigating your way through this part is pretty easy as it's fairly automated. Killing the big and small mobs on the discs will allow you to move through the room until you are on the other side.
Don't forget to move onto another disc when the one you're on is on fire. I missed the mini disc the first time and fell to my death.
Once you're on the other side, you'll get attacked by two mobs but Tarecgosa should come to the rescue and take them all out on the platform. (It can glitch here too as Tarecgosa doesn't always appear).
By this stage you're close to the end.
However, this for me was by far the hardest. Maybe it's because I'm not really used to DPS'ing as much or the fact that it was a moving fight but I had a lot of trouble with it for a while. Don't be afraid to use food buffs/flasks for this as it gave me a bit of an edge. When I tried this the night before I didn't have silence in my spec. I'm sure a lot of SPs out there can do this without the spell but for me I ended up re-speccing for it and even changed one of my glyphs to the Power Word: Shield one. Let me say that just these two changes made a huge improvement to my success rate.
Just make sure you keep your dots on Thyrinar making sure to dispel as soon as you see the Twilight Restoration buff on him. And don't get hit by his Twisting Twilight attack. It hurts… A LOT!
When you successfully manage to keep your dots on him and silence his Twilight Blast when needed to heal or quickly take care of the adds that spawn, you'll have it in the bag. Took me a number of attempts to get this guy down… I lost count honestly after I ran out of fortune cookies and was down to my last piece of buff food. Ultimately, I found this video a big help:

NEW DELHI: The Indian hockey team refused to accept a cash reward worth Rs 25, 000 which was awarded to them by the Sports Ministry after winning the Asian Champions Trophy.
Sports Minister Ajay Maken had announced a reward of Rs 25,000 each during the felicitation ceremony of the Indian hockey team.
However, Maken tweeted this morning that Rs 25000 cash award was not announced by the government but was offered by Hockey India. Minister said the government spends all money on training, coaching & foreign exposure.
After rejecting the cash reward, captain Rajpal Singh told ZeeNews that his team was disappointed by the 'hollow claims of the Sports Minister' to revive the national sport.
"The minister did not come true to our expectations, the money should be better not just for motivation of current players but for future generations who would like to take up the national sport," Rajpal said.
India beat arch-rivals Pakistan 4-2 in Asian Champions Trophy final.

Most of the year, the Jacaranda is barely noticeable as a leafy thin tree that lines many of our boulevards and streets in La Jolla and San Diego. But in springtime, this tree comes alive with beautiful purple flowers that bloom and cascade onto the sidewalks below.
The genus Jacaranda (which is the scientific name as well as the common name) includes 49 different shrubs and trees and is not native to San Diego — it was introduced from Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, as well as from the Caribbean. In Brazil, the wood of the Jacaranda is sometimes used for making acoustic guitars. Credit for importing the Jacaranda is generally given to Kate Sessions, who was San Diego's celebrated horticulturist in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Often referred to as the Mother of Balboa Park, Kate Sessions imported many species including Jacaranda into the county, propagated them from 1892 onward in her nursery in what is now Balboa Park, and then distributed plants and seedlings throughout the city.
The Jacaranda is now finishing its spring bloom, just as we are welcoming summer. We'll once again enjoy the flowers of the Jacaranda in the fall, when it experiences a less intense blooming period.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
For its last issue, Visionaire set a world record for the largest magazine ever produced (it was fittingly dubbed the Larger Than Life issue #61). The newest edition might not win any awards for its physical size, but #62, which is all about Rio de Janeiro, has a cool factor all its own. Boldfaced names like Gisele Bëndchen, Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, Lea T, Adriana Lima, Richard Phillips, Karl Lagerfeld, and Marilyn Minter collaborated on a series of 3-D images celebrating Brazilian culture that appear on double-image slides. To look at them, there's a stereoscope (which creates the illusion of depth), designed by NYC-based design studio aruliden, that comes along in the 3-D lenticular case. Visionaire 62 Rio ($375, available this week at www.visionaireworld.com) made its debut at the Iguatemi-hosted private launch party last night in São Paulo, but here, Style.com has an exclusive first look at some of the issue's best images by Lagerfeld, Minter, and Jason Schmidt.

Protecting your privacy on a whole new level, a bill sponsored by Senator Patrick Leahy aims to safeguard your emails and other personal documents stored online.
The bill passed out of committee today.
Senator Leahy has been criticized because his proposed changes had been kept largely under wraps.
Last week, the online tech website CNet published an article accusing the Vermont senator of trying to make your emails readily accessible to law enforcement...without your consent and without a warrant.
The senator denied those claims and during today's judiciary meeting on capitol hill and made it clear that he wants to protect Americans not expose them.

|Manager, Community Architecture
|Feb. 2008 - Aug. 2011
Reporting to Red Hat's EVP and General Counsel (Michael Cunningham), my team's mission is to facilitate the highly leveraged growth, development, and success of communities that are strategic to Red Hat's business and brand.
I am ultimately accountable for the definition and execution of Red Hat's global community development strategy. I manage a global team and budget, with a focus on articulating and the implementing The Open Source Way in three high-level areas:
As in previous roles, I blog and speak about my work. I gave the keynote in the open source track at the inaugural Athens Digital Week, as well as at Southeast Linux Fest 2010. I was interviewed in advance of my speech at FOSDEM 2009. I have participated in a podcast about open source community management, and given talks at Texas Linux Fest and Chemnitzer Linux Tage. My sessions at Red Hat's new hire orientation consistently receive excellent feedback.

The Fedora Project is a collaboration between Red Hat and a worldwide community of free software contributors. Its flagship project is the Fedora operating system, which is used on millions of computers worldwide. Fedora also serves as Red Hat's open research and development lab, and is the upstream for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and many other Linux distributions.
My job included chairing the Fedora Project Board, which is Fedora's executive committee. This Board determines the overall direction of the Fedora Project and provides guidance, leadership, and resources to a wide variety of sub-projects.
Additionally, I was responsible for day to day general management of the Fedora Project, including both Red Hat employees and community contributors. This required both individual and team-based leadership in various areas, such as:
A major part of this job was public communication. I conducted interviews with LWN, Slashdot, and Newsforge. I was twice a guest on the Linux Link Tech Show. I blogged and I gave interviews to various websites.
I spoke about the Fedora Project at many events, including keynotes at FUDCon and Ohio Linux Fest. I also spoke at LinuxTag, FOSDEM, and the Red Hat Summit. Additionally, I gave talks at NC State University and the Shodor Education Foundation.

Dear Editor,
There are many that do not make the admired list and some unknown that should be recognized. Whoever leads Ross Stores should be recognized for stock performance and it is a local company. Certainly, Charles and Helen Schwab deserve recognition for their many contributions in our bay area.
H-P's board continues its poor choices of leadership for a very important company started in another garage by Dave and Bill. Solyndra brought back much of the old silicon valley with questionable technology and uses of investors' funding.
The leaders at Intel Capital, KP Ventures and Chevron Technology Ventures continue to invest in technology development and start-ups in our region and deserve recognition.
Thus, Stan's question is the basis of a great story about how our bay area grows its own future and it is yours to tell.

Many. Both in large corporations and small businesses. All work hard and build their business through creativity, imagination, cooperation, respect, and dedication.
I do not know any business leader who is not positive about the future. I am also the owner of two businesses.

Planning a weekend stay in Mendocino is no easy task during the busy tourist season. I had a wedding to attend in Mendocino just this past weekend and looking for a place was very discouraging. Hotels were way overpriced and most smaller places were either full, or asked for an above average lodging fee for mediocre accommodations. When we made reservations at the Mendocino Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast, my girlfriend and I thought that we were settling for a last minute lodging that would "just do" for the weekend. What we got instead was an unforgettable stay at a bed and breakfast that is quaintly charming and beautiful, and staffed with a handful of people that really take care of business and take care of you. We got there late Friday night, way past check in, but awaiting at the door for us was a very cute little note letting us know where our room was and how to let ourselves in. The next day, we woke up, went downstairs to check on breakfast, and found a private table ready for us with a glass of juice already full. Breakfast was amazing. Some sort of gluten-free mushroom quiche, that tasted uniquely better than quiches that I have had in the past, accompanied by fruit, bread, and homemade jelly. That is a bold statement from me considering that my girlfriend was a chef for 10 years. Anyway... nothing bad to say about this place... Only good things. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

We stayed in the Pine room at Mendocino Farmhouse for two nights and absolutely loved the quiet charm. We had a private garden spot to enjoy, a claw foot tub to soak in and a fireplace with an abundant supply of wood. The breakfast included eggs from the resident chickens served with fresh pesto one day and off the hook pancakes the next. Super Yum! What can I say but THANK YOU, MARGIE, WE'LL BE BACK!!!!

This is a wonderful spot, tucked away in the forest just up the hill from Mendocino town. Marge and her staff are attentive and friendly. The rooms are well appointed, and extraordinarily comfortable. A hearty breakfast got my companion and I off to a proper start for our adventures along the coast. The lovely garden and grounds surrounding the farmhouse were a welcome surprise after a long drive to the area. A great place to relax and unwind. I heartily recommend a stay here.

Quiet and Peaceful setting. Grounds are pleasant, Rooms are comfortable and the food was good.

We had a wonderful visit in mid-June. We stayed in John's room (which was beautiful), breakfast was amazing, and staff was very helpful. More than anything the house and property were beautiful and peaceful. I would definitely recommend this BnB to friends and family.

My husband and I had a very pleasant weekend in Mendocino. Being in the woods, but so very close to town, was nice since we could enjoy all the town had to offer then return to the quiet beauty of the Farmhouse Inn. We would definitely recommend this inn.

My girlfriend and I stayed two nights in the Cedar Room, not the main house. The room was cozy, and we enjoyed a nice fire in the fireplace on both nights. The bed was comfortable, and the breakfast prepared by Marge was yummy and filling. Recommended!

It was groundbreaking day for the Shelburne Museum's expansion project Wednesday.
The $14 million project will turn the museum into a year-round tourist attraction. It will add a new 17,000-square-foot center for art and education, aimed at attracting school groups.
More than $11 million has been collected for the project so far from board members and grant programs. But the Shelburne Museum needs a few million more to pay off the project.
"We now look to our dedicated members, visitors, residents, fans of Shelburne Museum to participate as fully as they can to get us to that $14 million number," said Thomas Denenberg, the director of the Shelburne Museum.
Museum officials say the new building will be visible from Route 7.

Here's a crazy music video by Bassanova & Moradzo about a girl who has a cooking show, although it's not really cooking, just a smear-food-all-over-yourself show. And of course male viewers find it fascinating:
The girl in the video is Charissa Rosalie, also known (for our purposes) as "Nutella Girl." You can follow her Tweets at @birdyluvv. They're in Dutch, btw.
Charissa isn't new to the smearing game (known in fetish circles as "wet and messy, or WAM); on her YouTube page she has several videos of herself eating or smearing food. In fact we're not certain whether she's actually a model/actress who was cast in the music video, or just a food fetishist, albeit a really cute one, whom the artists decided to film. Again, it's in Dutch, so we just can't say.
"Nutella Girl" it is, then. Here's more:

How To Decorate A Bedroom With Red Walls
Bedroom decoration ideas can be endless when the desire to do is high. In the sphere of decoration of the bedroom, colours play an important role. And when the bedroom with red walls needs to be decorated, the chances of creating a spectacular look in the bedroom remains high. Red is bold and defines beauty. So, it is one of the best colours to be used in the bedroom but requires good ideas to avoid disastrous results. Here are some tips that results in perfect decoration of a bedroom with red walls.
Complementary colours: when you have red walls in your bedroom, try complementary colours like sky blue for creating a contrast. The colour of the bedcovers and other items can also be kept uniform for retaining the charm and aura of the colour. Including too many bright colours when the background is red can result in a mess and so, should be avoided.
Theme: A bedroom with red wall is a great place to develop a theme for decoration. Golden colour can be used for bedding for a royal touch.
Furniture: wooden furniture is one of the best options when the colour of the walls in bedroom is red. Dark wood is always preferable in this sphere. If you desire to bring the shade of modernity in the bedroom, go for black furniture. The combination of red and black is incomparable and can create beautiful ambiance of modernity with dexterity.
Retro look: red is a colour that can bring brilliant looks to the bedroom and retro look is one of the many options that can be achieved here. Putting a black wooden frame against the red wall can be no less than jaw-dropping.
Lastly, implement these ideas and get your dream bedroom with red walls.{first 2 pics from here,picture 3}.

The sun slipped swiftly through on moving clouds, beaming on the Yoakk (Y; awk) village, bearing down on the backs of many men and women who made their lives in this seemly perfect grove. Day in, day out, everything was normal, peaceful, in a way lacking. However, nothing was perfect, they knew that, and they accepted the fact that there was something missing. The sun fell down to the horizon and the people began slowly migrate back into their homes, and an unnatural silence filled in behind them. A few buzzards cried in the distance at a newfound kill breaking the unsettling quietness that lay on the village. The sky darkened as night come on. Soon a wave of villagers came crashing into the village square. Dust flew up at their backs, as they crowed around their central statue, the monument to their founder. The monument of the founder was a tall, lean, longhaired man; at his side were a yak and the other a wondrous looking oak. Although no one ever knew whom he had once sided with, it was said that he found out that he was serving a black market Lord. Having not wanting anything to do with such a man, he had set out for a place to settle. Without a wife or child, just his yak, he found this grove with an oak at its edge. He figured that the game was plentiful and the weather perfect, that he would settle down there. His faithful yak who many said he rode during battle soon died. He became unhappy and left his home for a year in search of a wife. To his luck, he found an able-bodied woman around his youthful age, which was willing to live outside a normal society. Excited he returned with her to the grove, there after he used the oak for the frame of his new home. Built over the grave of his old companion the ground is said to be blessed and never give way, rot floorboards or become flooded. The house still stands as home to whoever the chief may be. This age-old story of the people passed through their minds as they gazed on top of the oak at a mad woman. She screamed wildly at the sky, few could even catch the most pronounced words. She held a wailing baby in her arms and then suddenly as the clouded night sky began to rumble she threw the child down to the crowd and turned back to the sky. As quickly as she had set her gaze at the clouds, a bolt of lighting struck her. The crowd gasped most fled back to their homes leaving the child at the base of the monument. Peeping out from their windows they saw in disbelief that the village statue, not so cleverly made out of wood, had caught fire. It burned fiercely, of course a chain was made from the well. But they were unable to stop the fire immediately, all they could do was contain it. But no one dared go for the child. From then on, she was considered an ill omen to the town, and well avoided. Afraid to let her die, they cared for her minimally. Every other day or so they would feed and clean her. They left her in a small single room cottage-like place at the west edge of the grove. The people figured after a while, that when she grew old enough they could exile her. Although some said that, she had done no harm and that, maybe they where being a bit too superstitious- the villagers eventually voted that opinion out. At age 15, she would be exiled to be the nearest towns problem...
