Scattered Shots: Prepare your hunter for patch 4.0.1 launch {WoW}
Oct 7th 2010 4:19PM " It looks like you want to do this now, before the patch hits, since the conversion from emblem system to justice/valor point system isn't looking favorable."
Unless I've missed an annoucement the conversion means frost will be worth the same in 4.0.1 for buying t10 etc and triumph will be worth the same as frost. So if I had 60 frost and 60 triumph now I'd have the equivilent of 120 frost in 4.0.1 to buy 2 piece tier 10. Or has the rate changed from 11.58 again?
Cataclysm release date set for December 7 {WoW}

Cataclysm Beta: Worgen are their own mounts? [Update: Confirmed!] {WoW}
Sep 19th 2010 7:00AM Don't like this one bit, I can see the logic but it just screams 'bad design decision that's going to get changed' like Tauren plain running.
I'd prefer they use the fact that these people have been walled up for so long that the worgan disease has created a mutated yet moutable creature.
Former GFW Radio crew plans reunion show at PAX'09 {Joystiq}
Mar 15th 2009 11:36PM Listening to old CGW/GFW podcasts in preperation for this, spent 20 mins laughing uncontrollably at my desk at Jeff and his "YOU'RE NOT THE LORD OF THE RINGS" story.
How I miss this podcast!
Former GFW Radio crew plans reunion show at PAX'09 {Joystiq}
Mar 15th 2009 9:01PM I think I just had an Ephemeral Fantasia, return of the best podcast ever.
Dual spec available at level 40, reagent requirement removed {WoW}
Feb 24th 2009 6:27PM Great news and I'm really looking forward to this change. The only issue I have is the pure gold cost, I'd much prefer if they'd drop the cost and used instancing to give the player an epic questline that might take a little while to complete.
Level 40 players get a level 40 quest and level 80 get a level 80 quest, something along the lines of the Pally/Warlock mount quests. Instead of handing an NPC 1000g how about buying an item for 100g and spending a few hours grinding quest specific mats ending in a final battle?
Breakfast Topic: Is adding a tank class solving the tank shortage? {WoW}
Oct 23rd 2007 6:50PM I've played DPS,healer and tank in this game and tank was most definitely the toughest.
Not in terms of gameplay but in terms of pugging with potentially 4 idiots. I only played my tank post BC so I never knew the high points of being able to adequately generate enough threat to keep up with the 'IPEWPEWU?' crowd who can barely wait for a sunder to land before letting loose (usually on the one target I've not managed to slap a sunder or a shield slam on)
I know so many warriors who just won't go into a PUG because of this, but they will happily tank guild runs so we don't really have a shortage.
At the moment I'm playing a priest (shadow for leveling) and I'm finding myself being constantly in demand as I level.
If Blizzard want to fix the tank shortage then buff threat generation for tanks, otherwise all I see are lots of Death Knights running around in battlegrounds avoiding the pugs.
Leveling improvements for Patch 2.3 {WoW}
Oct 8th 2007 7:14PM Fantastic news and about time!
I've moved regions (Europe to USA/Oceanic) and I'm having to start all over again. Getting my main back up to speed will take long enough but I had a few alts I really enjoyed and this will help me get back to where I was.
Also fantastic news about the extra content and amendments to dungeons, I'm sure Blizzard are well aware of the 'altaholic' types who love playing all the classes rather than commiting all their time to one. More 1-60 content please!
Also, I have to agree with what someone said earlier... make LBRS,Strat,Scholo,UBRS for 50 onwards and then people have the option of running those instances to get to 60 (or 58) for Outland.
Since they're so hard for anyone below 58 at the moment so many people are missing out on these great dungeons and they really help 'tune' a players skills for the larger instances.
Brewfest starts at midnight server time! {WoW}
Oct 2nd 2007 10:53PM The Oceanic servers are up now due to the time difference but unfortunately it seems some of the quests (the barker ones) are bugged and won't activate until midnight where the servers are physically located.
Death Knight "interview" and lore on official site {WoW}
Oct 1st 2007 7:36PM I'm sensing that since DK are born from Pallies they'll have some kind of aura to make up for the lack of a shield. Most of the images show a blueish aura around the DK, no doubt that'll add 'so much armor' or the like meaning they can tank with a 2h.

Conservatives' Losing Bet on Birth Control: History Suggests They Might've Woken a Sleeping Giant
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Republican strategists and political prognosticators are quick to assure us that Romney's gender gap—which at 19 points is now more like a gender chasm—will evaporate as general election campaigning gears up and the attention of voters returns to bread-and-butter issues like the economy. Even Romney seems to think it's just a blip—assuring reporters that women are talking about "the debt that we're leaving the next generation" and "the failure of this economy to put people back to work," not access to reproductive health care.
The Republicans seem to think they can erase the past four months and their "war on women," but if history is any guide, this is wishful thinking. In fact, the historical record suggests we may be witnessing a re-awakening of the reproductive rights movement, especially among groups where concern about access to contraception and abortion has languished: young women and independent women. There is an eerie parallel between the awakening that is currently happening and the beginning of the reproductive rights revolution that resulted in the legalization of abortion in the early 1970s.
It all comes back to a scene that was unimaginably galling to women: a group of men sitting solemnly before microphones at a committee table testifying about whether women should have access to reproductive health care that they could never need. This may sound like the already infamous Issa congressional hearing that was ostensibly about "religious freedom," but it wasn't. This hearing happened more than 40 years ago and helped to light a revolution.
The late 1960s were still the dark ages for reproductive health. The Supreme Court had only just given married couples the right to use contraception; states could still ban unmarried people from buying birth control. Abortion was illegal in every state except to save a woman's life. There was a small reform movement underway, run mostly by men, to make abortion more available under limited conditions: in cases of rape or incest, if a fetus was severely deformed, or if a woman's health was at risk. However, even under these reforms doctors would still control access to abortion — a woman would have to get the permission of two doctors, who in those days were usually men, to have an abortion.
These reformers were interested in making abortion more "humane" because of the extraordinary high toll of the one million illegal abortions that were performed every year. In 1967 alone, 10,000 women were admitted to New York City municipal hospitals suffering from botched abortions. Some were left infertile from their run-ins with back alley butchers; others died. Nearly half of all maternal deaths in the city were caused by illegal abortions. Other big cities also had whole hospital wards full of women recovering from botched illegal abortions.
By 1969, a dozen states had passed bills making abortion more available in limited circumstances with a doctor's permission. That year New York State began considering a reform bill. On February 13, the joint Public Health Committee held an hearing on the legislation in New York City. The panel consisted of 14 men and one woman—a Catholic nun, who represented her religion's position that all abortions should be illegal. The panelists dutifully presented their positions—some against any liberalization of abortion law and some in favor of limited reforms. Women sat mutely in the audience watching men discuss their reproductive lives. But then, just as a white-haired former judge finished speaking, a woman named Kathy Amatniek stood up in audience and shouted: "All right, now let's hear from some real experts — the women."
The men on the panel "stared over their microphones in amazement," according to the New York Times, apparently like Congressman Issa, astonished that women actually wanted to have a say about what happened to their bodies. Then Amatniek made a demand that was just gaining currently among feminists: "Repeal the abortion law, instead of wasting more time talking about these stupid reforms." A handful of women were demanding the end of abortion laws that left doctors as gatekeepers to the procedure.

If one of your deepest desires is to strip Drake's Crossfit-sculpted body naked, only to reapply this season's YOLOiest gear, then your wish has now come true. There's a free iPhone app called "Dress Up! Drake Edition," where you can treat Drake like a virtual paper doll. No thinking is needed, just a fashionable eye for knowing which shiny chain matches his hot lil' face.
The app's VERY CLEVER description explains it well:
If you like dress up games, this one is the BEST I EVER HAD! Dress Drake up in FANCY outfits when he's out making HEADLINES! With head turning outfits, Drake will never have anyone "MISS ME" any more! You'll never be bored – with hundreds of items to mix and match, try different looks to FIND YOUR LOVE and keep making outfits FOREVER!
It's a full-bodied experience, too. You can change the background, Drake's chains, swaggy sweaters, t-shirts, and slim-fit pants to make him go from strip club to concert in a matter of seconds.
Now when will there be an app where Drake murders your vagina? Asking for a friend.

Approved by the Assembly – September 17, 2004
On June 27, 2002, the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in Republican Party of Minnesota v. White. The Supreme Court held unconstitutional a provision in the Minnesota Code of Judicial Conduct that prohibited a candidate for a judicial office from announcing her or his views on disputed legal or political issues. Simply stated, the Court found that such prohibition violated the free speech clause of the First Amendment.
Why had Minnesota enacted this provision? Why does the Minnesota State Bar Association (MSBA) still believe that it is appropriate to limit some speech by judicial candidates?
The MSBA recognizes that judicial candidates enjoy the same right to free speech as does a candidate for any other office. However, judges occupy a unique position in our society, a society governed not by force, but by the "rule of law." Laws are enacted by the majority, but their interpretation and application rests with an independent and impartial judiciary. If you have ever looked at the statue of the Goddess of Justice, she is blindfolded to emphasize this very hallmark of our Courts - the just application of the law regardless of the personal biases of those sitting in judgment. This rule of law commands allegiance from society only if it commands respect, and it commands respect only if it is administered openly, with independence, integrity and impartiality. Thus, judicial candidates, while free to speak, should speak in a manner befitting the attributes of independence, integrity and impartiality that we expect of their office.
In 1883 at his inaugural address, the first president of the Minnesota State Bar Association, Gordon Cole, described the legal profession as containing, among other attributes, "the most heroic defenders of human liberty which the world in any age has provided." As the largest organization of attorneys defending your individual liberties in this State, we urge you to require that any judicial candidates you support exercise their right of free speech responsibly, by considering whether their speech is consistent with the core purpose of the office sought. The core features of our judiciary are independence, integrity and impartiality.
A candidate for judicial office should make no pledges or promises regarding his or her conduct in office, other than to faithfully and impartially perform the required duties. A candidate should not announce his or her views on disputed legal or political issues, nor by words or conduct give any indication of personal bias or prejudice. A candidate should not misrepresent his or her identity, qualifications, or present position, nor those of an opponent.
Exercise your political power and VOTE - and when you do vote, make sure the judicial candidate you support exemplifies those three hallmarks of justice: independence, integrity and impartiality.

FlickheadBook ReviewBy Ray Young
Los Angeles Diaries
A memoir by James Brown
Perennial BooksPaper, 240 pages, $12.95
Support Flickhead — buy this item from Amazon
The suicide deaths of his two siblings are among the many morbid milestones referenced by novelist James Brown in his memoir, The Los Angeles Diaries. From formative years in one of those households where kids and parents yell, slam doors and stonewall one another; to a rickety marriage and a failed experiment in fatherhood, it's a miasma of emotional upheaval fueled by (you guessed it) addiction.
I suppose we have Frank McCort to thank or blame for the recent spate of twelve-step confessionals. His Angela's Ashes was (eighty-) proof positive of a paying audience for deadpan diatribes about self-medication and its sado-masochistic fallout. Other books by McCort's brother, Malachy (A Monk Swimming) and journalist Pete Hamill (A Drinking Life) mercilessly flogged the dog that bit them. Oh for the days when Hermann Hesse molded such gloomy introspection into high art.
The once humble, noble and tranquil sobriety program initiated by Alcoholic's Anonymous in the 1930's—when members restricted their disturbing rants to the ears of sponsors—mutated over the years into an ego-gratifying showmanship by pricey drug and alcohol rehabs. You'd think that enduring the wrath an inebriated malcontent is bad enough, but ostensibly normal family members are now asked to participate in "after care" where the ex-drunk or addict gets to rehash seamy horror stories until the insurance is tapped out. Once the drink is down and the drugs are history, those closet doors are ripped down the skeletons inside are rattled…loudly. I assume that if family members are unavailable or unwilling to weather the bile, books like these are written instead.
To be fair, James Brown's Los Angeles Diaries is a far faster (and less embroidered) read than the McCort and Hamill books. While he maintains his deadlock stare into the abyss (rehabs and psychotropic medications influence their clients to appear impassive), Brown bounces situations around in a nonlinear fashion, that frayed gimmick to imply a meandering existence. To this reader it only made things occasionally confusing—which may have been the intent. (Recovery can be a minefield of unsubtle nuance.)
Brown artfully renders the eating of shit and systematic obliteration of one's principles when mollifying The Suits in Hollywood. His novels were once optioned for the movies, dark story concepts borne by depression and not easily translated to the screen. After a run of aborted adaptations, he finds himself rolling out of a studio parking lot after waiting for the police to quell a sniper, a tram driver who lost his mind and arbitrarily opened fire:

Monster Jam to bring traffic congestion
Updated On: Feb 21 2013 11:27:30 AM EST
The Monster Jam truck competition will bring some traffic congestion downtown Saturday, and Jacksonville police are offering travel advice to drivers.
Assistant Chief Leonard Propper, of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, advises drivers heading to EverBank Field take take the Mathews, Hart or Main Street bridges.
He also says there will be new pickup and drop-off locations.
"It's going to be on Georgia Street, which is directly behind the Baseball Grounds between Adams and Duval (streets), and you have the opportunity to drop anybody you want off during that time prior to the event starting. The key is, you have to be back at that location by 9 p.m. in order to pick them back up."
Aside from traffic, police have another concern -- underage drinking.
Propper says a team will heavily enforce it, and anyone younger than 21 will receive a citation on the spot.

The Expeditionary Library was a huge, underground library located on Csilla and maintained by the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force. The library contained written information on virtually every planet, moon, and star system ever encountered by the Chiss. It was unusual, not because it was underneath the ice, but because every volume contained in the library was handwritten, in an attempt to protect them from sudden ice-storms.

Apple iPhone 5 torn down: easy to repair, A6 chip and internals exposed
First, though, let's make it clear - the goal of this teardown is to find out just how easy it is to repair the new iPhone and is it any easier than the task was for the iPhone 4S. The most common thing that breaks in iPhones is the screen, and luckily replacing the screen on the new iPhone should only take 5 to 10 minutes, and not the whopping 40+ minutes as was the case with the 4S. Also, having an aluminum for the back instead of glass means less shattered glass and less repairs. Great news.
Next, you'd see in the teardown that it would have been simply impossible to make the iPhone 5 as it is with the big and bulky 30-pin connector of the 4S. That's why Apple went with Lightning.
Geeks will be also happy to see the A6 chip and the Qualcomm MDM9615M chip bringing you 4G LTE.
Overall, the iPhone scored a pretty respectable 7 out of 10 for repairability. For the full iPhone geek porn, check out the teardown below.

Dude what is it with u and apple? Y do u hate apple/iPhone so much? Did u work there, and get canned or something? Did your girl dump u by the iPod display? I mean wow dude u really hate apple.
19. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
come off it mate, no need for this comment. so because apple isnt his fav choice there must be a petty reason like ''Did your girl dump u by the iPod display''
how about i ask you something as stupid like why do you always defend apple?have you fell in love with siri, is siri your girlfriend etc etc
see what i mean
21. darkkjedii (Posts: 12623; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Nope Siri is my wife of 15 years and we have 3 kids together.

I don't enjoy the constant bashing of Apple around here either, I feel it's kind of annoying and over-used, but Apple is just looking worse and worse by the day.
The blind fanatics
The "new" things that have been around for years
The hypocrisy
The unjust legal action
It's just stacking up. Soon, Apple will need to be bashed in the head by their consumers in order to wake up.

Normally you'd be right, but the video is from ifixit, so it's kind of there thing.....
2. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4108; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
It's nice Apple made the screen easier to replace, and replaced the back with metal instead of glass, because those are the 2 things that needed replacing the most on the 4 and 4S. Any word on what kind of glass they used on the front? Gorilla Glass 2, or are they using some "scratch-resistant" glass that doesn't do anything?

The build quality of the Iphone 5 has been improved. I was suprised when i saw the drop test. I give apple credit for that, knowing the history of the Iphone 4/4S duribility. But still no Iphone for me. Why.....? well I am waiting for IOS 7.

10 Car Options the Law Won't Let You Have
Innovation moves much faster than legislation. No surprise, then, that automakers develop cool new car technologies faster than regulators can approve them. These are some of the automotive gadgets Americans aren't yet allowed to haveand a couple where we're actually ahead of the rest of the world.
By Dan Carney
Rear-View Mirror Cams
Another video screen that regulators don't like is one that shows the image that we'd normally see in the rear-view mirrors. So while Audi likes to introduce into its production cars technology used on its famous Le Manswinning race cars whenever possible, don't expect to see the bright, organic LED display showing the view behind you to pop up on your next S5 or R8. Video screens that show moving images while the car is moving forward aren't allowed.

I blogged earlier this month about what I was hearing from my sources about Tango. In short, my contacts said that Tango would be a minor release (or two) that would target lower-cost phones and be geared, in particular, to address the Asian market. I heard that Nokia would be heavily involved in Tango — not surprising, given Nokia's focus on broadening the smartphone market to include current feature phone users. Tango would hit some time before Apollo, the Windows Phone 8 release, my contacts said. (Apollo, last I heard, is due in late 2012.)
Gov. Walker, the spoiled unions' hated one, grappled with his state's $3.2 billion deficit by impinging on fat-cat public employee unions' control of government purse strings for benefit-spending. By limiting lavish state-paid union benefit packages, Walker led the Republican charge to impose a little fiscal sanity on that state.

Known as "College City," Marion is the county seat of Perry County and is located in the westcentral part of Alabama. Marion is home to Judson College, the Marion Military Institute, and Coretta Scott King. The city government consists of a mayor and five-person city council.
Formerly the territory of the Choctaw Indians, what is now Perry County became part of the Mississippi Territory and then the Alabama Territory after the Creek War of 1814-15. The city of Marion was first known as Muckle Ridge because Michael McElroy, also known as Michael Muckle, cleared one acre of land and built a cabin in the area in 1817. When more and more people began to settle in the area, McElroy sold his cabin to Anderson and Cecelia West in 1818 and moved to Mississippi. The city's name was changed to honor Francis Marion, the famous "Swamp Fox" of the America Revolution. The first county seat was located in Perry Ridge; Marion did not become the county seat until 1909.
Marion earliest newspaper, the Whig Party's Southern Herald, was first published in 1837 by John Oswald, a Marion dentist. In 1839, Oswald changed the title to the Marion Herald and subsequently sold it to Robert E. Love, who transformed it into the political voice of area Democrats. This newspaper has evolved into the current Marion Times-Standard, which carries the tagline, "Your Hometown Newspaper Since 1839."
Marion's population according to the 2010 Census was 3,686. Of that number, 64.1 percent identified themselves as African American, 34.3 percent as white, 5.5 percent as Asian, 1.9 percent as Hispanic or Latino, 0.2 percent as Native American, and 0.6 percent as two or more races. The city's median household income was $24,142, and per capita income was $14,900.
In 1854, Larkin and Elizabeth Tarrant sold their land to the Marion Alabama River Transportation Company for the future construction of a railroad station, in conjunction with a project to build a railroad line from Marion to the Alabama River at Cahaba. Under a new charter, the Marion Alabama River Transportation Company, with the name of the Cahaba and Marion Railroad Company, extended the railroad from Marion to intersect the Northeastern & Southwestern Railroad. The Norfolk Southern Railway Company decided to abandon the line to Marion during the mid-nineteenth century. The railroad depot, which was built between 1907 and 1910, was restored in 1998 and now serves as the Chamber of Commerce. Today, Marion is served by County Roads 5, 14, and 183.
Economic Development
In 1820, Anderson West and his nephew, Solomon West, started A. West & Co., which was the first store in the town when Marion was founded. In 1822, Anne Smith arrived in Marion from North Carolina and opened the first hotel in the county. During the 1850s, various general stores, grocery stores, dry-goods stores, and apothecaries were in business. J. L. Lockwood furniture company sold sofas, chairs, and coffins, which were sold in furniture stores at the time.
Nathan Harris opened a tailoring business in 1910. His son, Max, turned the tailor shop into a general merchandise store in 1921. In 1890, John Connor Mickleboro opened the Mickleboro Jewelry Store. Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Neely owned the Neely Theater in Marion, and during the Great Depression on Saturdays, children could pay their admission with an uncracked egg instead of a dime. During the 1940s, T. I. Leverett owned the Marion Ice House, which delivered ice to businesses and private homes. The Marion Bi-Flex Corporation was established in 1959. Successful industries in the past have included pulpwood producers, feed companies, lumber mills, and textile manufacturers.
The workforce in present-day Marion is divided among the following occupational categories
· Educational services, and health care and social assistance (24.5 percent)
· Professional, scientific, management, and administrative and waste management services (12.3 percent)
· Finance, insurance, and real estate, rental, and leasing (10.7 percent)
· Arts, entertainment, recreation, and accommodation and food services (10.5 percent)
· Retail trade (9.7 percent)
· Manufacturing (6.1 percent)
· Construction (5.7 percent)
· Other services, except public administration (4.9 percent)
· Public administration (4.9 percent)
· Transportation and warehousing and utilities (4.8 percent)
· Wholesale trade (4.1 percent)
· Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and extractive (0.7 percent)
Marion was once home to the Lincoln School, founded by nine former slaves from Perry County. The nine men became some of the most successful black lawyers in the nation, and later received help from the American Missionary Association. Left behind during the Civil War, they began to teach the black children in the area, and along with a group of freedmen founded The Lincoln School of Marion in 1867. Its most famous alumna was Coretta Scott King. As part of the integration process in Marion and Perry County, the Lincoln School was officially closed in May 1970.
Judson College was founded as Judson Female Institute in 1838 by Milo P. Jewett, who later established Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. Today, Judson College is a Southern Baptist-affiliated liberal arts college for women, enrolling 311 students with 19 teachers. Judson has a strong relationship with the nearby Marion Military Institute; the two colleges hold several joint annual events such as the Rose Sunday picnic and Step Sing.
The Marion Military Institute was founded as a Baptist institution on a farm near Greensboro in 1833 and was known as Howard College. The school relocated to Marion in 1841 and officially began in 1842 as a school for boys. In 1887, the Alabama Baptist Convention decided to move Howard College to Birmingham, where it would eventually become Samford University. When Howard College left Marion, Colonel James T. Murfee was president; he decided to stay in Marion and help establish a military school. Today, the Marion Military Institute enrolls 454 students, of which 83 percent are males and 17 percent are females with 21 teachers. Both Howard College and Judson College were used as Confederate hospitals from 1863 to 1865. The hospitals were opened after the fall of Vicksburg and were closed before the Confederacy fell.
Another early school, the Marion Female Seminary, was founded in 1836 by a joint-stock company. The seminary is famous for its most notable teacher, Nicola Marschall, who came from Prussia and settled in Marion as a professional portrait artist. He taught art, music, and languages at the seminary during the 1850s and 1860s. In 1861, he designed the original Confederate flag, the "Stars and Bars," and the Confederate uniform. A monument to Marschall stands in front of the Perry County Courthouse. The seminary closed in 1908, and the building served as the Perry County High School from 1917 to 1963. The building is now owned by the Marion Historical Society.
Schools in Marion are part of the Perry County school district; the town has approximately 1,227 students and 77 teachers in one elementary school and one high school. Two private schools (one pre-K-12, one 9-12) have approximately 208 students and 23 teachers.
Events and Places of Interest
Helen Keller, Julia Tutwiler, and Tallulah Bankhead, among others, are featured in the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame, located in Bean Hall at Judson College.
The Lea House was the site of Margaret Lea and Sam Houston's marriage in 1840. Houston was former governor of Tennessee (1827-29), Commander in Chief of the Texas Revolutionary Forces, and President of the Texas Republic. The Captain Porter King House was home to the Confederate officer to whom General Bernard Bee, at the Battle of Manassas, made a remark about General Thomas J. Jackson "standing like a stone wall." From that time on, Jackson was known to his troops as "Stonewall Jackson."
Residents of Marion can enjoy the outdoor park and nature preserve at Perry Lakes Park and Barton's Beach, a Cahaba River
Reserve, located on State Highway 175.

How Cool Is This???

You just never know when a nursing mom is going to need to stop to pump. It could be while she's out for dinner, during a trip to the mall or -- especially when you factor in delays -- at the airport.
And while it's easy to nurse in public, we can't say we've ever spotted a woman pumping in the middle of a restaurant -- which means that you'll end up in a public restroom. Gross. So, it's nice to know that if you happen to be traveling through Burlington International Airport in Vermont, at least, you'll be taken care of.
NBC News reports the airport is the first in the nation to feature a "Lactation Station." Shaped like a pod and called Mamava, the pumping/breastfeeding space has seating and enough room for a woman's pump, luggage and stroller, plus a power outlet and table that can be folded down.
So very cool! Would you use a lactation station like this to pump while you are traveling?
|Wed, 09-04-2013 - 11:18am
That is very cool! I did have to pump during a layover when the middle daughter was 9 months old and I was returning home from relatives without the kids after christmas. I am pretty sure I pumped in the bathroom. This sort of area in the aiport is definitely a welcome to nursing/pumping moms!!

I've had those acrylic letters in my stash for about a year, and I was happy to finally use them. (I hope the card is still masculine even though it has stitching. I figure the wood and twine make up for that....)
Love the white and Kraft combo Jen! The big bold sentiment is so fabulous!
Love the debossed look on that ornament, especially paired with those clear letters.
I've had pretty good luck die cutting the thinnest wood paper they sell at Ink About it -- it can even be embossed. I haven't done as much with the heavier stuff, except make album covers and break Martha Stewart punches.
I love how you did the stitching on the letters. I also really like how the ornament looks wooden. Wonderful card!
AMAZING ornament.... love it!
Love the ornament... TFS...
I love that the sentiment is bold! The ornament is perfect! Love!
Brilliant Christmas card for a guy Jen, the gelatin letters are great...cool idea to stitch them in place :)

The stitching is awesome - love it! - and the accidental debossing on the wood is amazing. I think this totally qualifies as a masculine Christmas card :)
I love everything about this! The stitching is perfect and doesn't detract from the manliness of the card at all...the wood ornament is amazing on it's own, plus it's part of the sentiment...great card!
I think it looks masculine even with the stitching :-) I like how the letters are attached with the stitches.
Wow .... love this Jen ... I was just thinking this week how would a masculine christmas card look ... and you've done it ... love it!!!
This is fantastic, Jen! Love that ornament & the clear letters.
Cute card! I've never used acrylic letters..I'll have to play with some! :)
Definitely masculine! Love love love the wood! Looks fantastic!!
Very cool--I like the wood paper ornament.
This is a perfect guy card. That stitching is far from girly--I think it is right at home on this masculine card. Great work!
Great card ~ I love the effect of the debossed wood.
Your card is just right! I like the simple color combo and design, and the debossed wood and acrylic letters really make it special. :-)
THANKS for sharing!! LOVE the ISPIRATION and the chance to win!! Have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
YES, i think a christmas card can be manly. yours is!
You made that wood ornament?! It's awesome! I love this card!
So glad they spotlighted this on CARDS, congrats!
Supah!!! Love the debossing, love the stitching, love the wood.
I like that wooden card design.

Why Are We All Ignoring Our Loneliness?

Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
These days, when we pass a person on the street we usually don't say hello or even look them in the eye. In the city, we live in a world of strangers, the vast majority of whom we have very little to no personal relationship with whatsoever. Occasionally we may get into brief, interesting exchanges with the person behind the counter at the café or the grocery store, but these exchanges are predicated upon our purchase of something the shop is selling. This makes me wonder if such conversation is merely a byproduct of the capitalist machine in motion, a human byproduct of commerce whereby the exchange of cash sparks the expressive faculties while also providing an adequate social lubricant. While it is, of course, natural for human beings to talk and communicate with one another, unless we have a good excuse or reason to do so we seem to maintain our typical everyday stranger status with the entire general public surrounding us.
I don't think we can underestimate the impact that living in a world of strangers has upon our psychological state of being. At times, I find it to be painfully awkward to continually encounter other people with whom I have absolutely no personal relationship. At these times, I almost always feel a sense of uncertainty; Should I say hello? Or does it even matter? The everyday atmosphere of a general lack of interest or caring between modern citizens can be overwhelming. But how can we care about other people who we don't even know, when we live in a social context that supports a state of chronic alienation?
I know, I know ... you're thinking, ―Well, but we're all supposed to develop our own group of friends, family, and acquaintances who meet our needs for human interaction, for fun, love, and affection.‖ However, I must retort—notice how in talking about alienation I'm imagining a relationship of dialogue?!?—it doesn't always work that way. Statistics on depression and suicide demonstrate that meeting our own needs is an insufficient and tragedy-inducing agenda for a significant portion of all of us—over one million people commit suicide around the world every year.
One million ...
Perhaps the assumption of complete self-care is just a preposterous joke based on the Western ideal of the heroic ―rugged individual‖ who is ultimately responsible for meeting all of his own needs. As a citizen of the modern world, what does it mean, and what does it feel like, to be just one more human being lost in the crowd, in the midst of thousands of others?
Indeed, the tribe—an interconnected group of related individuals aspiring towards the mutual well-being of one another —has now become the mob—a collective of individuals who are, for the most part, unrelated and uninterested in one another, unless such interactions empower the individual to obtain their own financial, sexual, or social status-based objectives. I am not saying that tribal people were not selfish or self-interested, only that they appeared to have maintained an overall mutually reciprocal relationship with the larger community group in which they lived.
Although we boast of all the amazing benefits of modern living, there are many significant shortcomings in our having ―evolved‖ from tribal to technological society, from a way of life centered around people, planet, and community, to a way of life focused sharply on the individual and our ability to manipulate machines. Tribal societies function as a sort of unified whole, their members relying implicitly upon one another to meet their needs and fulfill their aspirations. Consider these words of the Pomo Indians of Northern California, from the book The Way We Lived, by Malcolm Margolin:

Lampropeltis getulus floridana
Average size: 36-48 inches; Record 69.5 inches. Young are about 5-8
inches at birth.
Range: Found throughout central Florida to the south tip of Florida,
excluding the keys.
Diet: Snakes, turtle eggs, lizards, rodents, small birds and their eggs.
Status: Uncommon. May be found in hardwood hammocks,
pinewoods, mainly terrestrial, but often found near streams and
marshes where it feeds on water snakes and turtle eggs. Like the
Eastern Kingsnake, its population has declined drastically in the last
few years, probable cause may be habitat reduction.
Do not keep a Kingsnake with other snakes especially ones that are
smaller, it may make a meal of them.

The AD7278 is an 8-bit, high speed, low power, successive-approximation ADC. The parts operate from a single 2.35 V to 3.6 V power supply and feature throughput rates of up to 3 MSPS. The parts contain a low noise, wide bandwidth track-and-hold amplifier that can handle input frequencies in excess of 55 MHz.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using CS and the serial clock, allowing the devices to interface with microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the falling edge of CS, and the conversion is also initiated at this point. There are no pipeline delays associated with the part.
The AD7278 uses advanced design techniques to achieve very low power dissipation at high throughput rates.
The reference for the part is taken internally from VDD. This allows the widest dynamic input range to the ADC; therefore, the analog input range for the part is 0 to VDD. The conversion rate is determined by the SCLK

TRAILER: Viva La Revolución…STEP UP REVOLUTION
Are you ready to step up your game? Summit is. That is immediately after their current title switcheroo from STEP UP four to the sexier sounding STEP UP REVOLUTION. And you can practically really feel the flavor of Miami oozing from this campy hot new trailer. Watch what occurs when a dance mob turns from performance art to one thing, nicely, revolutionary. Take a look at the trailer beneath and share your thoughts. I actually enjoyed STEP UP 3D immensely so I'm looking forward to seeing this new gang (with returning actor Adam G. Sevani) strut it's stuff. Bonus points will be awarded if Peter Gallagher does a dance in the course of the finish credits!
STEP UP REVOLUTION dances its way into theaters on July 27.

A survey conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics indicates the potential market for small electrical appliances will be worth about 350 billion yuan (U.S. $42 billion) during the next decade.
As demand for small electrical appliances is expected to increase more than 30 percent annually throughout the next 10 years, analysts widely consider the next two or three years as a golden period for the development of China's small electrical appliances.
It appears small electrical appliances, which have traditionally sold well in China, are still popular.
Consumers' demands for small electrical appliances continue to increase, as people's living standards continue to improve.
As a result, several factories that manufactured large electrical appliances have begun producing small electrical appliances.
Between January and November in 2003, the production volumes of microwave ovens, electric cookers, grease pumps, water heaters, vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, and electric heaters surpassed those from the previous year by 49.9 percent, 44.5 percent, 13.6 percent, 33.9 percent, 36 percent, 150 percent, and 57 percent, respectively.
Small electrical appliances, in contrast with large electrical appliances, despite having lower per-unit costs, have greater profit margins.
Small electrical appliances sold in China generate gross profits in excess of 30 percent; larger electrical appliances, less than 5 percent.
Foreign companies have rushed to get their small electrical appliances into China's market since 2001, when China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Statistics indicate there are nearly 200 kinds of small electrical appliances in developed countries, and that each family owns between 30 and 40 of these household goods.
In China, however, there are fewer than 100 types of small electrical appliances, and each family owns just a few of these items.
This indicates there is great potential for the market to grow.
Small electrical appliances generally have a lifespan of about 6 years.
That means most of the small electrical appliances will have to be replaced in the near future, which will result in a purchasing frenzy.
In terms of the market, the situation in China this year will show that in large, provincial-level cities, people are most interested in brand-name small electrical appliances.
Due to their advanced technologies, international brands—such as Philips of The Netherlands, Panasonic of Japan, and Braun of Germany—are dominant, even though they sometimes cost three times more than domestic brands.
Fewer domestic brands that copy famous international products are entering the local market. Previously, more than 20 such items entered the market annually. That figure has fallen to seven.
Also, due to the enormous market potential, many of China's manufacturers of large electrical appliances have begun making small electrical appliances.
Consumption of domestically made small electrical appliances has grown rapidly.
As a result, production of water coolers, household dishwashers, and household sterilizers have soared more than 40 percent annually in the past few years.
But imported small electrical appliances are more popular.
Philips, Panasonic, and Braun have solidified their foothold in China due largely to their advanced technologies and their products' attractive appearance.
There is tremendous need in western China for small electrical appliances, and that need is growing. Those markets could be exploited.
Statistics indicate nearly 37 percent of the small electrical appliances in western China were purchased between 5 and 8 years ago. New products—such as water coolers, microwaves, DVD players, and sterilizers—are desired by most families.
Statistics indicate more than 25 percent of Chinese families plan to purchase such products this year. (Business Weekly)
