Burning Bright is the short story that was like a bonus feature in one version of Clockwork Prince about when Jem first met Tessa from Jem's POV. She recently posted it on her site here :) I absolutely love it!
Jem's Father, Burning Bright by Cassandra Clare
Who read Burning Bright? I loved it so much! For those of you who've read it, I've already begun planning something that may intrigue you :D Watch out for it! Will be released in the next month.
Under this cut are spoilers for City of Lost Souls, but also an in-depth discussion of sexual assault as it pertains to books in general and The Mortal Instruments in specific, with a discussion of rape culture and rape myths. There is also an excerpt from a scene that contains a violent physical assault.
Miss Cassandra Clare, you have done it again. Made me love you more and realize things about me and society/culture I haven't seen before.
As many people that can should read this. It made me realize a lot of my behavior and thinking I need to fix. There is actually a social psychology term, many in fact, for blaming the victim (i.e. "She's so stupid. She shouldn't have been walking down a dark street.").
And we need to go beyond reading. We need to take this and be aware of the behavior and thinking we do personally that need to be changed to change this intrusion of rape culture. If we don't, then Cassandra Clare's courage and heart in addressing this issue and writing this important important piece is useless.
She poured her heart out and shared something personal she didn't need to. I completely, completely respect her in high esteem for this, and for all the other social problems she has spoken for. <3 <3 <3 Lots of love.
Something interesting I looked up a week ago or so…
Adamas means diamond in Latin. :)
City of Lost Souls! <3
I just read your blurb about Magnus and Asians and the "whitewashing" of Hollywood, and I cannot even explain how much (more) respect and love I have for you now.
I was an aspiring actor, but because Hollywood is so whitewashed, the market was tiny for Asians. Even now, submitting to casting calls, all I can ever think is how I don't fit any character because I'm Asian. It got to the point where I wondered if I would have been more successful if I were white, even wishing I was at times. I'm proud to be Asian, but sometimes it's difficult fitting the white-standard society. I mentioned in an earlier post how I hate the name "minorities"-it makes me feel like this insignificant piece of society, and I'm not minor. I'm Asian, but I still matter and still can matter.
You had already written non-white characters (I'm not just talking about the Asians here xD) which was a pleasant surprise to me (even now I wonder at why we have to be surprised when major characters in books aren't white…). And now, reading how much you're standing up for the casting of these characters and their races and how Magnus must be Asian (I totally agree, he wouldn't be the same!), I can't even explain how much respect I have for you.
It's horrible to feel like you can't belong in Hollywood, in society, because you're not white. The world isn't just white, it's colorful and bright and diverse and I think Hollywood needs to showcase that more.
All I can say is thank you, thank you so much.
Open letter to Cassandra Clare. It just burst out of me after I read her post about the casting for Magnus.

Why not?
Exactly. How. I. Felt.
Seriously. One break-your-heart/make-you-want-city-of-heavenly-fire-now moment wasn't enough?
I think I died 5 times over just reading the end. Those of you who have finished CoLS, I think you understand.
These are about South Carolina. :) (Er, sex.)
You know, I never really thought of this. Or even the situation with the fire… Love this though. Made me laugh!!
CoLS SPOILERS!!!
More CoLS questions and answers under the cut. These are about Sebastian.
CoLS SPOILERS
I loved the exploring of Sebastian's feelings through the book. And that I almost actually liked him in the middle of it…
It's 2:30AM. I'm pretty sure I just read through CoLS for 6 hours straight. No regrets, whatsoever.
That. Was. Amazing. Like hallelujah, rip-my-heart-out, why-did-it-have-to-end-like-that gloriously awesome.
I also feel the urge to draw. A lot. And I have like 600 ideas burning through my head now but I should probably sleep so… xD
I saw myself as pretty today for the first time in 2 months.
No makeup, hair down in a mess, and yet I looked in the mirror and just saw me, and thought for once I looked pretty.
Nothing beats this feeling.
I've been working on little crafts and fan art lately. I just did this piece of Isabelle that I'll post when it's completed, and am finishing up a seraph blade pendant.
I'm running out of ideas however, so if anyone has any art requests, or little projects of any kind, please let me know in my ask box! As many as you want!
One thing though, please keep CoLS requests out until Friday. I'm practicing restraint in order to study for ap exams…I know I won't study if I get CoLS!
(the ask box is the question mark at the top of my page)
Why was I being academically smart in not getting CoLS until my AP U.S. History Exam was over?
Enjoy CoLS, you people :P
I have learned something tonight.
I am right-handed. Therefore, drawing runes on my right hand nails with my left hand is extremely difficult.
Yup. I did rune nails for COLS coming out…even have a nail with fire on it. So excited :) <3
Will post pics later. If they survive ^.^

I just realized City of Lost Souls comes out three days before my AP exam…I'm so screwed… e.e

I am risking nothing
I know this is fake, but I just can't risk it..
This is my girlfriend i love so much and want to help name Melissa.
She had a kidney transplant operation when she was 16 from FSGS but it's failing now, she just had surgery to put a dialysis catheter in her stomach for regular dialysis treatment and put on the donor list for a new kidney which could take up to a few years which would be too long to deal with constant failing kidney symptoms.
If you're willing to be tested or know someone who does please send me a message or call her yourself.
I know I don't reblog post like this much but I would appreciate it if anyone who reads this does, especially anyone I know or knows her and knows what a cool person she is and deserves and would appreciate any help.
Reblog guys….This is the real deal.

Watch Blade II: A rare mutation has occurred within the vampire community. The Reaper. A vampire so consumed with an insatiable bloodlust that they prey on vampires as well as humans, transforming victims who are unlucky enough to survive into Reapers themselves. Now their quickly expanding population threatens the existence of vampires, and soon there won't be enough humans in the world to satisfy their bloodlust. Blade, Whistler (Yes, he's back) and an armory expert named Scud are curiously summoned by the Shadow Council.

Unpacking is way better than packing, isn't it? It's kinda like opening presents and, with my memory and frenzied move-out ways, it's a fun surprise to see what's where. So, yes. We've had fun getting settled into our new home in Ohio. Some days it feels like we're far away from the life we knew for so long, but as I talk about in my September AARP post, our people are all around us.
Basically, Yes

Met guy at 4pm and a local restaurant. We sat at the bar, which he beat me there and grabbed seats. He is cute, no doubt. We ordered a drink, and eventually a pizza. I looked at my watch and 3 hours had gone by. We sat and talked for 3 hours straight, never once about either of our exs, and overall had a good time. Fun conversation, but little to no flirting and he didn't compliment me.
I did not have butterflies. Maybe a slight flutter, liked him, but wasn't blown away, KWIM?? What I did notice is that we talked so easily with each other.
But, I also know that first dates are only to determine if you want second. I would go out with him again.
So, if the date overall goes well..but there are no butterflies
does that mean friend zone? Or do you go out on a few more dates and see if it develops? In my head, the guy makes the decision really quickly if there is "sexual chemistry", i.e. butterflies.
"For whatever we lose, like a you or a me, it's always ourselves we find in the sea" ee cummings
But to me right now, the date you describe is exactly what I want for my future dating life. I have had so many butterflies in my life. They obscured my thinking. They blinded me to important things and I do not intend to trust them again, not right away.
You say he's cute. I think the attraction can develop as you get to know each other--that it doesn't have to be there right away in your stomach, not when you are able to get along and be engaged with each other.
I know I need to have a "chemistry" connection with someone. I dated a really nice man for 5 dates without having any "sparks" with the way he kissed me (the opposite actually) and I broke it off with him because of it...I don't think chemistry is the same as butterflies necessarily though...
I've read that women make a decision quickly too regarding sexual chemistry...not just men...but we are grown ups now, we can wait and see what develops. You'll know soon enough.

Butterflies have steered me wrong plenty of times...
^^ Totally this.
I think that no blutterflies doesn't necessarily mean "meh." If you had a nice time and wouldn't mind seeing him again, I say go for it.
(For me, butterflies almost always represent my perception of a little bit of danger... )
(For me, butterflies almost always represent my perception of a little bit of danger... )
I''m not sure why being excited about seeing someone/being with someone has become associated with you''re about to get fucked over by an asshat. I guess I just don''t see it that way.
So, I'm always "maybe" or "no" on a first date. If he is overly flirty on the date, I am turned off by that. A pushy guy is always going to turn me off. I don't like being pushed.
I haven't heard from him, so I'm assuming its a no from him anyway. And I was interested enough to see him again, but not too worried. For me, it is the second date that is the telling date. When you let your guard down a little
then sparks will fly a little bit more for me.
I think if guys don't feel something immediately, they are an instant no. It doesn't matter if we can talk for three hours
it is just no.
I also know that first dates are only to determine if you want second. I would go out with him again.
eta - just saw your post - and if it doesn't lead to date #2 - you still had a nice time and you move on.

Above all, be the heroine, not the victim. - Nora Ephron
It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
- J. K. Rowling
I've realized in other situations with guys who are super witty I'm so overwhelmed with that one feature that I like so much that I overlook a ton of things I shouldn't.
I also found this on baggage reclaim.
This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man ~ Shakespeare, Hamlet
For men, I don't think that happens, or at least not with me.
He did text me, but it was very "vanilla", said he enjoyed talking to me, but didn't ask me out and I can see he is back on OLD. So, although we talked for 3 hours, he isn't going to ask me out again, I can tell.
I don't think guys think about this nearly as much as women. If that spark isn't instantly there, they keep looking instead of realizing that being able to talk to a girl is a real plus.
I haven't quite figured that part out yet. I know some guys are attracted to me, it is just a needle in a haystack to have them BOTH match. Where I like him as much as he likes me. It only happens about once a year for me.
I still think this is NEXT! But, I had fun and met a new person.
For me, if I walk away analyzing it, that means I''m trying to talk myself into giving a guy another chance (date) because I think I should, because I worry I''m too judgey, because everyone on SI says no butterflies initially is good and leads to better relationships and so on. Not because I really want to.
I went on a date this weekend with a guy who I think has Asbergers. Or he''s on the spectrum. Or he''s just odd. He''s handsome. He''s nice. I like him. He''s just such a nice person. But NO butterflies. None. All I could think about is how anyone I introduced him to would think he''s odd. (I know, I''m kind of ashamed of that feeling). He really likes me. So because it''s OLD, I''m going to give him one more date to see. But it would be so much better if I were excited about it, kwim?

it is just no.
I don't think guys think about this nearly as much as women. If that spark isn't instantly there, they keep looking instead of realizing that being able to talk to a girl is a real plus.
I think, a big difference could be the importance each gender places on different aspects of sexual chemistry. For example, men are (generally) more visual, so if they find a woman attractive she may be very much closer (or even all the way) to sexual chemistry than if the genders were reversed which could account for it seeming like men make the decision much quicker.
Personally, I think I have only ever felt "instant butterflies" once, with XWW, and if I felt it again it might be a dealbreaker for me, now. I have been dating over the last few months, and I even went on ~6 dates with one woman because the conversation was great and we had a lot of fun, but I still never felt chemistry with her. I have felt chemistry with a couple different women, but in neither case was it instant and was probably most of the way through the second date before I felt it with either. Again, this is just me, and I often feel like Im very different than a lot of my gender in this respect so take this for what it is.
To be blunt I know I decide pretty quickly whether they are fuckable or not. Butterflies or not. Doesn't mean I AM going to sleep with them it just means that they aren't a definite no.
I decided the sad clown was a no within 30 seconds. Then later he put his arm around me and this 'chemistry'/'butterflies' happened. I blame pheromones and pining for an inappropriate but lovely guy I had just dumped (he was too young).
When I am ready to date seriously I won't be looking for immediate chemistry. I don't want the guy with lots of charm because I've seen that shit used for evil, not just good.
I'll be looking for someone I would have as a friend. Someone I would set up with a friend.
If I think about how I met my closest friends I know I wouldn't have them in my life right now if I had an expectation that we'd hit it off immediately.
I'd also want to give the guy time to work out if I am just fuckable or someone they want in their life. I don't mean am I just good to have sex with - I mean is he just sexually attracted to me or does it go deeper?
When I am ready to date seriously I won''t be looking for immediate chemistry. I don''t want the guy with lots of charm because I''ve seen that shit used for evil, not just good.
Yes but that''s the thing. When did chemistry get conflated with charm? Immediate chemistry is recognizing you''ve met a kindred intellectual spirit for example, not having someone schmooze you with compliments and work you. At least that''s how I see it.
When did chemistry get conflated with charm? Immediate chemistry is recognizing you've met a kindred intellectual spirit for example, not having someone schmooze you with compliments and work you.
They are one and the same for me given the goal of the expert charmer is to make you feel like you've met a kindred spirit.
Charmers who schmooze you are easy to spot - they know you know that they are trying to charm you. It is a dance where both parties are aware of it.
Personality disordered 'charmers' mirror your likes/dislikes, values etc to appear to be kindred spirits.
I am deeply mistrustful of this type of feeling now. They say we often feel connected to people who feel familiar - even if that 'familiar' is rooted in toxic FOO-esque behaviour.
I have been thinking lately about some of the guys I didn't go for in the last for a lack of chemistry. They were really great guys in most cases (I am friends with a few of them now). I wish I had taken a different approach. Of course it's good to have the heat. But it shouldn't be in the drivers seat.
It''s almost like you all are saying that unless the guy bores you (how you seem to be finding the nice guys, bc it seems they are defined as the boring ones passed over) because if there''s any "ooh" there then he must be a snake charmer out to get you. I just thing that''s a really paranoid way to live.
To me, boring doesn''t equal safe or nice, it just equals boring & feeling like you like someone doesn''t equal snake charmer, it just equals you enjoy their company and would like to get to know them better.
I''d venture to say if a person is still in hunker down mode "he smiled at me he must be trying to con me!" Then you''re dating too soon. I happen to think (hope) that I''ve learned enough that if I have chemistry with a guy then he is a nice guy.
The things to avoid are the future fakers, future forwarders, the super complimenters, the fuzzy around the edges story tellers, & the ones who divulge too much personal pain too soon. Things like that are markers of being conned. Enjoying someone''s company because they light an intellectual fire (for example) or you have some interesting things in common & it feels good is chemistry etc. & I''m not sure why some of you are afraid of that. After all isn''t it the same feelings you have with your same sex friends? I get excited to see them in the same way for the same reason.
What I think is that most men don't think the same way women do.
I've dated enough to recognize instant butterflies are very dangerous. They actually mean danger to me. Heat can build, so I'm not too worried. I have a basic attraction to him and I know that spark can flame if the situation is right.
What I don't know is how he feels/thinks/is attracted to/ about me. We are still chatting/emailing and I think just going to see what happens.
My self protection mode is still set to "no guy is going to see my value". I'm still working on resetting that and it is a work in progress.
Letting go of the outcome and just facing my triggers/fear is tough stuff.
I just think it's wise to hold back the hormones/use them as the only gauge as they can blind me to the full picture.
For me, I got into my last relationship because I was desperate to feel loved, after dating around a lot and not getting what I wanted emotionally with guys I was very sexually compatible with. So I want to have a different, more thoughtful approach next time around, instead of just following my sex drive around.
Probably cayc is right about the strong fear of getting hoodwinked meaning that one shouldn't be dating. I'm not dating yet so I don't know how strongly that self-protective mode will still be around once I'm ready. But I do want it to stick around in part. I think I learned a good lesson about diving in too fast because of a feeling of clicking that wasn't grounded in important shared values or an objective sense of whether it was smart.
Now, if nothing builds with this guy cmego saw, that's ok. You can't force it. But allowing time and not 'nexting' when the insta-spark isn't there right away seems sound to me.
We're all just doing our best; it's not an exact science. There's a value in being trusting and vulnerable and in allowing a romantic feeling of connection; there's also a danger in it, sometimes. Everyone finds their own balance. You don't want to become too afraid and yet you also should learn some lessons from getting burned.
To me chemistry is about intellectual capacity and character & many of you seem to define it as sexual.
Chemistry is about all of these things. I don't believe you
can/should look at them completely independent of each other. It's a package. All grow or contract the longer you know someone depending on your experience of them.
In the early days your estimation is limited to what they want you to see. Same for them.
I'm focused on how *I* feel about them - it's their job to work out how they feel about me. Not mine. I'm either for them or
I'm not - it's not like I want to convince them to be with me. Nor do I want them to convince me to be with them.
This way what I feel for them isn't influenced by what they feel for me. I've made that mistake before. I'm not that interested but his interest has swayed my decision. That didn't work out so well for me.
I don't need sexual chemistry immediately but I do need for them to not be an immediate 'no' - doesn't matter how great the other parts are if the sex is a no it isn't something I can pursue.
This way what I feel for them isn't influenced by what they feel for me. I've made that mistake before. I'm not that interested but his interest has swayed my decision. That didn't work out so well for me.
^^^^this^^^fits perfectly for me too. In almost every relationship I've had. I now am focusing on what I want, need, desire, deserve, how *I*feel etc. It's working much better this way.
My first reaction to someone is the way I describe "chemistry", the sexual chemistry that just feels good. It doesn't indicate anything about the other person, because I don't "know" them yet but tells me that my interest is there. That feeling is sometimes very intense, but it doesn't tell me anything about the real potential of the relationship. I just "want" them. The butterflies for me are the excited feeling after I get to know someone for awhile, the "I get to see him tonight" excitement. The deeper more important feelings of "this relationship could work" and "I like who this person is", the intimacy that happens later is the real measure of a relationship, more than chemistry and or butterflies. Ideally, the sexual chemistry is present in all of these and gets deeper and better as true intimacy and revealing occurs...
It is amazing men and women get together, because instant attraction is different, although the end result (wanting both intellectual and physical attraction) is the same.
So, how do you deal with (in my case) men, who aren't looking that deep? My solution, like you guys, is to realize this isn't meeting my emotional needs and move on.
*If* this current guy showed more interest, I'd probably be interested. But, since his pace is quite slow and not the "pursuer type", it chills my interest down to a friendship level. We are supposed to get together within the next week to go hit golfballs. His "pace" is different than my "pace", therefore I'm going to friend zone him, get to know him, and pursue other opportunities where there is more relationship potential that meets my needs.
The deal is, *I* want a relationship. I don't do well in slow paced, gray area relationships. I look at relationships like a ping-pong game. Two people have to be playing and lobbing back and forth for the game to continue.

Remember when I shared Diane DeCillis's exquisite poem, "Opera Buffa"?
I'm still sighing over "gnocchi lifted itself off the fork" and that lovely Panna Cotta — "silky, quivering cream adorned with fresh berries." Remember silly Antonio, who wasn't interested in ordering dessert? You simply cannot trust a man who doesn't like sweets!
After reading "Opera Buffa," I yearned for more of Diane's poetry, which is why I was ecstatic when her debut collection, Strings Attached (Wayne State University Press, 2014), was released in May.
What a beautiful, lush, finely crafted feast of brilliance!
Her 60+ poems tease the intellect, warm the heart, please the ear, whet the physical and spiritual appetites, and nourish artistic sensibilities with their worldly elegance, lyricism, surprising turns-of-phrase, and evocative narratives.
I love how Diane's passions for art, music, literature, food and family inform structure, theme, cadence, image, and metaphor. As in "Opera Buffa," the food-related poems are infused with tantalizing sensory detail, whether she muses about her Lebanese grandmother's stuffed grape leaves or leban (yogurt), "ethereal profiteroles filled with crème de la moo," or terrapin soup à la Babette's Feast.
Pop culture and high art happily co-exist in the layers of Diane's imagination as she riffs on the likes of Van Gogh, Cezanne, Picasso, Magritte, Duncan Hines Pineapple Cake Mix, Tab Hunter/ Sandra Dee in a fleabag motel, Chopin, Debussy, Rilke, Gertrude Stein, "Like Water for Chocolate," "Punch Drunk Love."
Diane brings her own brand of self-deprecating humor to these poems ("What Would Hitchcock Do?"), but there are also poignant notes of longing for an absent father ("Finding Fathers"), the push-pull dynamics of generational clashes ("Milk"), the vagaries of love, the liberation of dreams, the richness of cultural heritage.
Today I'm happy to share one of several prose poems from Strings Attached, perhaps the "foodiest" in the collection. I love how Diane has composed this sensorial symphony of sounds, colors, flavors, aromas and textures, lovingly capturing a cherished moment in time. A masterful culinary canvas!

The Top 9 Attributes of Successful Design Agencies
Whether you're a thriving, multi-branch design agency with hundreds of employees or a 2-person partnership working to build your business, there are a few key things you should be doing to garner as much success as possible. Having worked for and with many (many, many) of them myself, I would like to offer a quick list of the most important attributes of successful design firms. For those out there who don't want to start or grow their own design... CONTINUE READING
Which Comes First: The Web Design or The Graphic Design?
The short answer is both. While the front-end graphic designer is busy with design, layout, typography, image research and such, the back-end web designer (let's call them a coder) is busy setting up the server, databases, installing software, writing various custom code and the likes. The trick is to keep the communications open so the left hand knows what the right is doing and vice versa. When the communication fails, problems rear their ugly heads and they do it...

Game Design: The Evolution from Entertainment to Art Form
The world of video games is a varied and often breathtaking landscape encompassing elements that easily transcend "game" to "art". Many independent studios, freed from the constraint of having to meet vigorous sales numbers, are designing games that reach new visual heights, and are proving that video games are, and can be, used as an artistic medium — one which inspires and creates long-lasting impressions on the participant, much like traditional forms of art. Most notably, mainstream art institutions... CONTINUE READING

Planned Parenthood won an extension of an order blocking Texas from making cuts in funding to its clinics because the organization provides abortion services.
Planned Parenthood won a state court ruling blocking Texas from cutting off public funds to its clinics that don't provide abortion services the day after a federal appeals court refused to hear a related dispute.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America may have already replaced the $680,000 in funding it lost from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation for its breast-cancer prevention programs, the group said today.
Six Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas Inc. affiliates lost a bid for a court order giving them access to funding under the state's new women's health program.

Boot slowed down cannot find cause
Hi, Having trouble with my PC boot, whether this is normal or not i am uncertain.
After log on for roughly 3 minutes or so the PC load times for most things are quite slower than usual. I can hear the HDD spinning being read and written to i presume.
Under task manager processes tab (inc all users) the main culprits for CPU usage are a few svchost.exe (mainly PID 948 which includes windows audio endpoint builder, which is also the one that uses the most memory)
After i stop hearing the HDD work which is usually when the processes stop jumping around the PC speed ups dramatically and to the speed that it should be.
This happened gradually as the PC got older etc more programs installed.
But this is my confusion, i have NO crap if you like on here just needed programs like office, Norton 360, Itunes, a few games and few others random things.
I watch carefully what i download and scan the whole system every now and then with Norton 360, spybot S&D and malwarebytes. There is usually nothing there.
I use Ccleaner and clear up everything once a month and also clean the registry.
My msconfig.exe boot settings are cut down to barely anything, about 8 things max including my catalyst control centre. The non microsoft services are all enabled currently there is only 9 all kind of essential to me.
One thing that does effect this is if i do not enter password straight away on boot and leave for few minutes it shaves the startup time down alot which doesnt that point to microsoft services only?
I do not overclock, temperatures are always fine too and all windows updates are installed.
Specs for PC are on my system specs <

Minnesota Holds Off Omaha
Haula Leads Team With 1g, 1a Night
Minnesota started off Saturday night nearly the same way they did Friday night, leading by a goal after 20 minutes. But unlikely Friday night, the Gophers maintained their lead earning a 3-2 win and a split with Omaha.
"We did our stats and we had 50 turnovers and 17 hits last night," said Lucia. "And guess what, that's not a very good recipe for winning hockey games and that had to be reversed a bit."
Minnesota's coaching staff put it on the team to play smarter with the puck and it showed.
"That was definitely a major emphasis with Coach Guentzel when he talked to our defensemen today," said Nate Schmidt. "Not only that our forwards get the puck in deep, but it's on us as a defensive corps to take care of the puck and give ourselves a chance to win."
The Gophers played more conservatively on the rush protecting the puck, played more dump and chase hockey, and kept a third forward high hockey most of the night to protect their lead. Lucia also departed from his tendency to four roll lines, as he often mixed and matched forwards and defensive pair combinations. Eventually he shortened the bench down the stretch relying heavily on three lines and defensemen Ben Marshall and Schmidt.
"We got down to the last 10, 12 minutes and it was going to be a three line game so we just took our nine guys we felt were playing the best and that was who was going to play," said Lucia. "I thought the guys did a good job adjusting, because one shift they're playing right wing, the next shift they're playing center.
Minnesota special teams came through Saturday night. The Gophers killed off four short-handed situations and capitalized on seven power play opportunities with two goals.
"A couple undisciplined penalties that we're really not known for [cost us]. Minnesota is the least penalized and we're the second least penalized team, but tonight we got off our game--too emotional," said Dean Blais.
Minnesota got on the board early as Erik Haula received a pass from Mike Reilly, skated across the slot, and snuck a backhander along the ice past Faulkner for a power play goal 2:09 into the first period.
Omaha goaltender John Faulkner earned another start in net over 6'6" Philadelphia 2nd Round Pick Anthony Stolarz after earning the win Friday. The 6'1" senior delivered a great first period for Blais, making 15 saves in the opening period, and 30 on the night. If not for the play of Faulkner the game could have been a blowout as the Gophers were dominating play so much that Blais called a timeout midway through the first period.
The Gophers got another early power play goal 58 seconds into the second when Nick Bjugstad took a Nate Schmidt pass at the top of the left wing circle and ripped a wrist shot back across Faulkner into the upper right corner.
Tom Serratore notched what turned out to be the game winner 1:24 seconds later to put the Gophers up 3-0. Christian Isackson found himself on quite a few different lines during the night, but on this shift he forced an Omaha turnover to Nate Condon who in turn made a back handed a pass to a Serratore who fired a quick shot past Faulkner's blocker.
Big Andrej Sustr got the Mavericks back into the game with a slap shot that beat Adam Wilcox at 17:48 of the second period. Wilcox went down into his butterfly a bit early, and Sustr beat him up top.
Blais got his team to apply the pressure through out the third period and while the Mavericks only tallied six shots in the final period, it looked like Minnesota was on the ropes. Blais even pulled his goalie with five minutes left to give his team a 6-on-4 advantage. Johnnie Searfoss cut the Gopher lead to one when he one-timed a Matt White pass from behind the net past Wilcox. Minnesota tried to slow the game by playing dump and chase, third forward high hockey down the stretch, but Omaha kept the pressure up until the final horn.
Minnesota escaped from the series with a split despite not putting together 60 minute efforts either night. Minnesota goes into their final conference games of 2012 against Colorado College sitting 5-3-2 WCHA record tied with St. Cloud St. for second and one point ahead of Omaha. Next Friday's game in Colorado Springs is a late 8:30 faceoff and Saturday's game is an 8 pm puck drop as both games are on FSN and ESPN 1500.
Golden Nuggets: Mark Alt was scratched on Saturday night for the first time this season… Omaha and Minnesota came into tonight's game as two of the least penalized teams in the WCHA, but Omaha's 12 penalties for 35 minutes will increase their 10.9 PIM/G average… Haula was named the number one start of the game, Schmidt second star, and Condon third star… One-time Gopher commit Ryan Walters had a heck of a weekend at Mariucci, with 2 assists on Friday and Saturday, the Rosemount native might be sitting atop the WCHA point scoring leaders in all games Monday with 6g and 14a.

Fake it til you make it.
I used to boil and freeze water to cool wort all the time. It worked very well, and I never had an infected batch when I used it. The only issue with it is it takes up a lot of freezer space. I live in a condo, so I don't have the room for a second freezer. SWMBO was getting pissed at me for taking up all the freezer space, so I recently built a wort chiller.
If you have the freezer space, ice is a viable option. Just be sure to boil it before freezing.
Or do this - fill some ziploc bags with ice water. Zip them up. Dunk them in your bucket of Star-San. Be sure the sanitizer gets to the zip closure. Drop them into the wort.
Double bag if you're paranoid.
the way people tack on trivial steps to their sanitation process is like depositing pennies into a million dollar bank account. theres going to be plenty of rogue microorganisms no matter how crazy anal you are. but its beer and it will beat those things into submission.
I use bagged ice All. The. Time. It simply works. Ice purchased from the grocery around here has been irradiated and is pure spring water. So long as no holes are in the bag, I use it. Been doing that for years upon years.
I use a copper-coil wort chiller for my full-boil batches because I don't want to deal with dilution effects or calculate high-gravity-wort brewing.
I actually get a better break formation with the ice. If I expect to rack the beer to secondary, I'll leave it alone. If I want to keep it in the primary (mild, bitter, etc.), I'll use two buckets and treat the first - with the ice - as a whirlpool, racking off the break into the actual fermenter.

I thought I'd revive this thread to recommend that the responsible use of top up ice to chill can be very accurate by using the tool: http://www.onlineconversion.com/mixing_water.htm
I recently hit my desired pitching temp exactly with this calculation. Note you can ignore the units, the calculation is all about ratios.
As for the technique, I'm blessed with a big chest freezer that's not very full, so I just sanitize my fermenter, fill it with the desired amount of water from the tap filter, put the lid on, and throw it in the freezer. Then on brewing day I dump my wort into the frozen fermenter. Freezing temperatures do of course inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold, so I figure it's pretty safe.
I have never had a problem with commercial water and just throwing them in the freezer for a few hours so they are slightly frozen. But I could just be lucky

i'm convinced that the reason they tell you to drink so much water isn't just for whatever health benefits it has for your body. it's because it causes you to have to use the facilities approximately 7,000 times a day, thus burning more calories by walking back and forth between your desk and the restroom.

As the United States' military involvement in Vietnam grew from 1965 to 1975, not only were soldiers at war abroad, a kind of civil war between hawks and doves broke out here at home between anti-war protesters and those who supported the effort.

Q Kudos to the street department for all the patching and repaving in Santa Cruz this summer. However, on Water Street down the hill from Branciforte Avenue, at the corner of Reed Way, it's broken and dipped and I'm being told there'll be no patches until Water Street is repaved in 2014. Considering the amount of traffic on Water Street, the noise and vibration is causing property damage and jangled nerves to the residents. Can you look into this? Your help with some patching would be much appreciated.
Bobbie Hill, Santa Cruz
A Public works would like to come to your home to investigate the vibration you speak of, said Chris Schneiter, assistant director of the agency.
As far as patching, the road needs more than that, he said.
"The street needs to be repaved and portions reconstructed, not just patched," he said. "It's on our long list of projects. We are hoping to bond for some street paving in the near future and this is likely to be one of those streets to get the attention it needs."
Q I was driving up Felton-Empire Grade Road and I noticed a sign that read 'Slow traffic MUST use turn outs.' I've never seen a sign like this before and think that maybe a neighbor made and posted these signs. Are they for real? I thought the law stated that you only need to pull over if there are more than five vehicles behind you.
Theryl McCoy, via email
A "Yes, these signs are real," said Jack Sohriakoff, senior civil engineer for the county's public works department. "The department was requested to install these signs by residents in the area who frequently travel this road, and after the turnouts were improved. It is not always necessary to post all information regarding the laws of the California Vehicle Code since all motorists are required to know the law. If there are numerous instances where slower vehicles are not using turnouts when required, and the CHP needs additional signage posted to enforce the five vehicle rule, then the department will post them as necessary."
congifuration will stay
People still grumbling about Capitola's changes to the intersection of Clares Street and 41st Avenue should know that the new figuration will stay.
In July 2012, the city ended the three lane left turn from eastbound Clares onto northbound 41st. It made the right most lane a straight or right turn lane while allowing the center and left most lane to make the left turning movement.
A study later that year showed the number of collisions fell by nearly half, said Rudy Escalante, chief of the city's police department.
"Accidents at that intersection at the time of the hearing were at 5 for 2012 as compared to 2011 when we had 9," he said.
Further, statistics show there were 14 crashes at that intersection in 2007, 15 collisions in 2008, 11 in 2009 and 13 in 2010, he said.
When Street Smarts asked Steve Jesberg, Capitola's public works director, whether more changes were in store for the intersection, including returning it to its former configuration, the answer was:
"Not at this time," he said. "We feel the changes have been an improvement to the safety of the intersection."
Street Smarts appears Mondays and Thursdays. New topics are posted weekdays on the blog, at www.santacruzlive.com/blogs/streetsmarts. Follow it also on Twitter and Facebook. Submit questions to those aforementioned social media sites or to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include your name, city of residence and a phone number where you can be reached.

Preliminary Report: Cheyenne dives after takeoff
PIPER PA-31T, HOBBS, N.M., OCT. 30, 2002–At approximately 7:33 a.m. MST the twin-turboprop Piper was destroyed when the pilot lost control shortly after takeoff in IMC. The sole-occupant instrument-rated private pilot was killed in the crash.
N3998Y was on its initial climbout after departing from Runway 3 at the Lea County Regional Airport (HOB) near Hobbs, N.M. The pilot was cleared to 9,000 ft, which
he acknowledged when passing through 4,900 ft, with the expectation of further clearance to 17,000 ft. The Part 91 flight was on an IFR flight plan to El Paso (Texas) International Airport (ELP).
When the aircraft reached 5,500 ft, air traffic controllers noticed that it began a descent, but the pilot did not respond to ATC radio calls. According to FAA files, the Piper Cheyenne was registered to Robert Calhoon of Hobbs, N.M. The weather was reported to be 700 ft overcast with three miles visibility in mist.

Social House has leased 5,045 square feet at 2801-2873 W Seventh St. in Fort Worth, according to Xceligent Inc.
The moratorium will give a committee and the City Council time to review a proposed overlay that will pare the number of permissible unrelated adults living in the same house.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has appointed Fort Worth businessman James R. "Rusty" Reid and Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley to the University of North Texas System Board of Regents.
Perry also reappointed Regent Gwyn Shea to a new six-year term on the board. The appointments are effective immediately.
"The appointment of Rusty Reid and Judge Whitley and the reappointment of Regent Shea provide the UNT System with an extremely strong leadership team," UNT System Chancellor Lee F. Jackson said in a news release. "We are excited at the prospect of moving forward in building the UNT System to support our campuses in providing additional educational opportunities for the people in the North Texas region and the state."
Reid is president, CEO and chairman of the board of Higginbotham & Associates. He is a certified insurance counselor, a member of the Independent Insurance Agents of Texas, and a member and past president of the Young Presidents' Organization, Fort Worth chapter. He also is a board member and executive committee member of the Davey O'Brien Foundation and All Saints' Episcopal School, a board member of the Community Foundation of North Texas, board member and past chair of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Fort Worth, and a board member of Casa Mañana. He is past chair of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and Fort Worth Sister Cities International. Reid received a bachelor's degree from UNT.

He is a board member and past president of the National Association of Counties and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), and a member and past chair of the NCTCOG Regional Transportation Council. He also is a member of the Texas Association of Counties, Texas Indigent Defense Commission and the Governmental Accounting Standards Advisory Council. He is past chair of the Texas Conference of Urban Counties. Whitley served in the U.S. Navy Reserve. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Arlington.

Great New Dryer Gets My Vote
By Gorgeous
from Rock Island, IL, United States
Comments about GE 7.8 Cu. Ft. Gas Dryer - White:
I love my new dryer, especially the steam cycle as I tend to leave things in the dryer and by the time I get to them, they are wrinkled. POOF, a little steam and then I can hand them up.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good but had problems also....
By scooter111
from Illinois, United States
Have had this dryer a couple of months now. Within the first few days of delivery the dryer would run but would not heat. Had a service tech out to the house and found it had a broken igniter. Wasn't to happy about this. He basically had to take the whole dryer apart to replace it. Not something you want to see for a brand new appliance. My feeling is it could lead to other problems down the road. Time will tell.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It doesn't dry as quickly or thoroughly as my old gas dryer did. I find I have to turn the dryer back on to make sure the clothes are dry. I've tried several different settings but same issue.
By edgie46
from Huntley, IL, United States
The dryer does a good job drying clothes. GE should have done a better job in developing the steam feature. I have tried the steam feature a couple of times and the clothes just get wet. They call it steam but I think it just sprays water. It would be a 5 star rating without the added cost of the steam, which I found, doesn't really work.

Born ca. 1564 and died ca. 1616 during the Renaissance period (1450-1599). One of the greatest writers of all time, Shakespeare, the peerless poet of the Sonnets and the creator of such dramatic masterpieces as Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and King Lear, is a playwright of paradigmatic originality. In his discussion of the Western literary canon, critic Harold Bloom declared: "Shakespeare and Dante are the center of the Canon because they excel all other Western writer in cognitive acuity, linguistic energy, and power of invention." However, one could go a step further and suggest that Shakespeare defines the Western canon because he transcends it. If Shakespeare, as Ben Jonson declared, "was not of an age, but for all time," the great dramatist, one could argue, spoke to the ultimate concerns of humankind, regardless of period or cultural tradition.
