Indeed, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit had a pretty uncomfortable press conference all round. She was bombarded with all kinds of questions related to banking and finance – unsurprisingly – considering she was facing many business journalists, and had just met, along with other north zone chief ministers, with Finance Minister P Chidambaram and some bankers. Unfortunately for Dikshit, Chidambaram had headed off to address another conference, and so the onus of representing the government fell on her. Now, she does hold the finance portfolio in the Delhi government, so she should have been capable of holding up her end. And, she had the Minister of State for Finance, Namo Narain Meena, for support. But Dikshit finally had to tell the media not to ask too many technical questions. "Don't ask too many questions. I'm not an economist, though I'm the finance minister (of Delhi). Moti-moti gharelu baatein pooch lijiye. Wo main bata sakti hoon (Ask me broad-brush, close-to-home questions. Those I can answer)," she said.

NFL Thoughts – 2014 NFL Mock Draft
One of my favorite non-sporting events in the sporting world is quickly approaching. The NFL Draft is finally right around the corner and I couldn't be more excited. This year is a special NFL Draft due to the overall quality of the players in the draft. Last year was a weak year for rookies. The Kansas City Chiefs ended up drafting Eric Fisher with the #1 pick last year and yet it's highly doubtful that Fisher would even go in the top 20 of this year's draft, that's how loaded it is. Not only is this draft loaded with talented players, but it's also loaded with interesting players as well. Guys like Jadeveon Clowney and Johnny Manziel already have huge followings of fans who are dying to see where these players end up, making this one of the most anticipated NFL Draft's in sometime. Anyway, enough with the formalities. You guys know what this is all about and I'm sure you would rather be reading a mock draft than an introduction soooooo…….
Dustin James' 2014 NFL Mock Draft
NFL Thoughts – 2014 Post-Combine Mock Draft
Welcome to the annual "Dustin James' NFL Mock Draft (that is sure to be wrong)!" Of course, the NFL season ended over a month ago and it's time for teams to look to improve their rosters and compete for a title next season. It's been proven time and time again that the quickest way to turn your team into an NFL title contender is through the NFL draft. As a matter of fact, the Seattle Seahawks reminded everyone just how important the NFL draft is (and the Oakland Raiders keep reminding people that they don't take the draft seriously, which is why they've sucked for 10+ years now). They pretty much built their entire team through the NFL draft and just added a few pieces in free agency (Free agency is the most overrated way to improve your team. Players are free agents because their previous team didn't want to pay them what they feel they are worth, so the team lets them walk and they go and grab a younger, cheaper player in the draft). As a matter of fact, most of the playoffs teams from last year or all teams who have rosters loaded with guys they drafted (Carolina, Kansas City, Cincinnati, etc.), so I can't articulate enough how important it is to have a good draft every year.
Now, it is only March and the draft is still two months away so a lot can still happen between now and then. It's almost impossible to predict what NFL teams are thinking heading into the draft, but that's why mock drafts are so fun to do. For the record, I don't consider myself an NFL Draft expert, I consider myself a little bit of an obsessive fan. I read pretty much any mock draft I can get my hands on (if your dog writes a mock draft, send it my way), I watch tons of scouting videos over at DraftBreakdown.com, and I try and pay attention to what NFL writers are saying about how certain teams are feeling heading into the draft. This is the first time I've done a mock draft before free agency starts (free agency starts on March 8), so I'll be back with my final version once free agency ends and the draft is in sight. I know, you are DYING to see that one to, but you gotta have patience young man, patience!
Anyway, let's get to the goods!
Dustin James' 2014 NFL Mock Draft (that is sure to be wrong…)
NFL Thoughts – 2013-14 NFL Off-Season Guide
The 2013-14 NFL season is officially in the books and man, was it a good one or what? We saw all sorts of unexpected things this year. We saw the lovely town of Seattle win their first professional football title. We saw the Kansas City Chiefs go from a two-win team to one of the best team's in the NFL. We saw the Carolina Panthers go from having a a joke of a head coach to turning that same guy into the NFL Coach of the Year. We also didn't see Tim Tebow start an NFL game this season, which is a good thing because finally the entire NFL world has come to the understanding that the guy just can't throw a football. If Bill Belichick can't find a way for you to contribute on the field, it might be time to embrace your inner acting and journalistic bone, which it appears as though Tebow is finally doing.
Anyway, with the 13-14 season behind us, it's time to look ahead. Before we get to next season's plate of games though, we have a wonderful thing called the NFL off-season and this little beauty is a guide that I wrote up to help NFL fans of all shapes and sizes see exactly what kind of shape their favorite NFL team is in headed into the off-season. In this guide, you will find all sorts of delicious information that I'm sure will overwhelm you, but that's what the NFL off-season does to people. It can be exhausting. If you don't believe me, just go interview your local favorite NFL general manager and ask him how much sleep he's been getting. Chances are he'll start repeating NFL combine 40 times and totally confuse the crap out of you.
So, without any further adieu. I present to you…..
Dustin James' 2014-15 NFL Off-Season Guide!

Steve Cook joins the Man Cave to preview the upcoming NFL season. We'll run down all the divisions and teams, give our thoughts on who makes the playoffs and who misses the cut, and make out Super Bowl picks as well.
NFL Thoughts – 2013-14 NFL Season Predictions
Welcome, welcome, welcome! If you are a regular reader here at "THE MAN-CAVE" you are more than likely familiar with me. My name is Dustin James and I'm the resident "moronic football predictor" around these parts. Football is easily my favorite sport and I get so excited at the start of the season that I just can't resist predicting any and everything I possibly can. This year is no different. Since I spent a good two months on my college football preview here at "THE MAN-CAVE", I decided to whip up some quick NFL predictions as well. By no means am I an "NFL expert", I just happen to be a huge fan who wants to share his opinion with others. Last year I predicted the Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl over the Green Bay Packers and while I kind of whiffed on the Packers, I absolutely nailed my Super Bowl pick. So, considering I'm on a roll right now with my NFL predictions, what do you say we stop wasting time and get to the good stuff already? Sounds good to me……
Man Cave Podcast – Episode 144
Steve Cook joins the Man Cave for our weekly NFL playoff chat. We'll look back at the divisional games and talk about the Broncos and John Fox being morons, the Seahawks and Pete Carroll mismanaging the first half, why the Falcons shouldn't be happy with one win, and the awesomeness of Colin Kaepernick. Then we'll preview the conference title games, one of which should be really good while the other one could get pretty ugly.

Al-Qaeda appoints new Sahara emir
By Walid Ramzi in Algiers and Jemal Oumar in Nouakchott for Magharebia – 08/10/12
Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb's (AQIM) Shura council named Al Vourghan brigade chief Jemal Oukacha, alias Yahya Abou El Hammam, as its new Sahara emir, ANI reported Thursday (October 4th).
Citing an AQIM leader, ANI reported that Abdel Mejid Abou Zeid was appointed Abou El Hammam's deputy. The news came one month after former Sahara emir Nabil Makloufi, alias Nabil Abu Alqama, was killed in a car crash between Gao and Timbuktu.
Abou El Hammam, an Algerian national, is one of the most prominent al-Qaeda leaders in northern Mali, and is close to AQIM chief Abdelmalek Droukdel (alias Abou Moussaab Abdelouadoud). Earlier this year, Abou El Hammam was appointed Timbuktu governor.
Jemal Oukacha hails from Réghaia, east of Algiers. The 34-year-old is close to Droukdel and one of his top lieutenants in the Sahel. Abou El Hammam was detained in Algiers in late 1990s and spent 18 months in prison before he was acquitted and released. Directly after that, he joined Algeria's GSPC, which later changed its name to AQIM.
In 2004, he joined fighters in northern Mali and southern Algeria where he served under the command of Khaled Abou El Abbas, who was then emir of the Sahara. Abou El Hammam was sentenced to death in absentia by a Biskra court in 2006 terror case. France also accuses him of killing Michel Germaneau, a French national who was kidnapped and killed by AQIM.
Abou El Hammam took part in several clashes with the Algerian and Mauritanian armies, including a 2005 attack on Lemgheity barracks in northern Mauritania in which 17 Mauritanian soldiers and six militants were killed. At the end of 2007, he personally commanded El Ghallaouiya operation in which three Mauritanian soldiers were killed near the city of Ouadane, Adrar province. He also took part in the 2008 Tourine attack, which was led by Abdelhamid Abou Zeid, emir of the Tariq Ibn Ziyad brigade.
AQIM leaders are trying to put an end to differences between Sahara emirs. But it also excludes Moulethemine brigade leader Mokhtar Belmokhtar (alias Khaled Abou El Abass or "Laaouar"), who has recently sparked conflicting reports about assassination attempts against him by MUJAO militants.
While a spokesperson for the Moulethemine Brigade categorically denied that Belmokhtar was wounded, his wife's uncle who lives in Timbuktu told Algeria's El Khabar daily that Belmokhtar was injured in an armed clash. He added that he contacted one person close to Belmokhtar who confirmed the news.
Journalist Abi Ould Zidan noted that it was Abou El Hammam's brigade holding French hostages. His brigade is also a mixture of different components, including Algerians, Mauritanians, Malians and Moroccans; something that gives it much force and importance for the organisation.
"In short, we can say that Yahya Abou El Hammam is a consensus choice for those who carry arms in AQIM's different factions, including MUJAO and Ansar al-Din, and that he has the same value with AQIM-allied networks, such as smugglers, beneficiaries and tribal dignitaries," political analyst Ahmed Ould al-Salek told Magharebia.
Ould al-Salek added, "This is quite understandable at a time when the world is preparing to launch a war against these groups."

Terrien en détresse ...
To Nord Alg– Indeed, "kho"! This Lilliputian and his Saudi acolyte are the cash-drawer of the West's infernal machination against Africa in general and the Muslims in particular. Wahhabism is the weapon of war for Judeo-Christian imperialism. The campaign of the "Arab spring" has been yet another demonstration of this. All these Arab springs are today very long and hard polar winters for the democrats, patriots and all the progressive forces for the peoples, who have been thwarted and grossly caricatured by the degrading image of mercenary Islamists, the rear guard of our peoples, who have made so much progress since their colonial night. That is what the evil forces allied with the obsolete, deadly, hegemonic project, which has no chance of winning despite the deployed war-mongering violence, are fighting against. The monarchical leaders and their servants have nothing to offer, not even a "spring", which is prohibited for them at home. They are in their twilight and acting in desperation. A Muslim does not fathom escaping his destiny, but they are trying to escape theirs!?! Now, the die is cast, and the UN has played roulette with the lives of thousands of Africans, granting a "license to kill" our peoples to these predators, who have never stopped murdering us under a thousand fallacious pretexts supposed to justify their criminal interference. The era of the Sahelian Quagmire is beginning. Only the place is changing, but the scenario and the strategy are the same and the UN is playing its role without qualms. Martyred humanities hope is the salvation of the brother peoples of the North, who are riled up from Lisbon to New York. It is time to do better than getting indignant!
nord alg
All this scheming does not uniquely go on the Westerners' record. The Emirate of Qatar, that miniscule state with its adolescent prince, is assuming all the rights to this claim. It is the banker for terrorism and the friend of the USA and Israel. It supports a lot of things in this mess that is the so-called Arab spring.
The dear Daniel Balavoine, who is surely in a heaven of beautiful souls, said it well: "We are earthlings in distress." Our peoples of the Sahel are in very great distress and the worst is yet to come. After these crazy mercenary Islamist legions, the empire will come!!! God Almighty, have pity on your creatures and neutralise these godless and lawless aliens with a bolt of lightning! The diabolic machine that is the UN, which is raging all over the galaxy on the money of the poor and in the service of the raptors, who do not give it a dime, just voted in a license to kill in the Sahel in the name of the international community for the benefit of the imperialists alone. Yet, the UN decisions only represent a club of five predators on human kind. Were we, the peoples of the Sahel, consulted in any way? Who can authorise killing in our name??? No one!!! This is the work of François Holland, who, according to well-informed sources, only travels in TGV rail as does his wife. But how did he get to Senegal, which, as everyone knows, does not have its own TGV yet. The François family is following him and gathering together, unfortunately! As soon as they got into power, they took the tour of Africa, repeating like the autistic people that they are. "Françafrique is done with! Nicolas did it!" And how is it done with since the same interests are governing this confused world? At the same time, the facts show the contrary: bloody military interventions and a full range of predatory interferences. When will there be a people's revolution in these predatory, cynical states, which have nothing left to offer their peoples but terrorist scheming, Islamaphobia and unemployment? The indignant people from Lisbon to Paris, from Tel Aviv to New York are going to end up saying "Stop!"

Rand Paul Introduces Bill To Cut Aid To Palestinians
By Deb Reichman
Huffington Post
Republican Sen. Rand Paul introduced a bill on Wednesday that would immediately halt U.S. aid to the Palestinians until they halt their effort to join the International Criminal Court to pursue war-crimes charges against Israel.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' recent turn to the international court at The Hague marked a major policy shift and transformed his relations with Israel from strained to openly hostile. Abbas has been under heavy domestic pressure to take stronger action against Israel after a 50-day war between the Jewish state and militants in Gaza over the summer, tensions over holy sites in Jerusalem and the failure of the last round of U.S.-led peace talks.

The rules say that when you land on a square, you either encounter any character there, or you encounter the square (or cards). How does this work with the Maze and Marsh cards, which state "this card remains here, when you land here...", and the Sorceress abilities that say "when you land on a character"? Do these "land on" rules occur before any encountering occurs? If so, how many games end up with the Sorceress owning all the mules?
"Land on" vs "encounter"
Posted 03 January 2009 - 01:40 PM
Posted 03 January 2009 - 06:18 PM
You "land on" the Marsh card when you decide to encounter it.
If there was a character in the space, and you decide to encounter them instead, you would not enounter the Marsh and would therefore not land on it.
Sometimes I even update the Talisman Island Facebook Page!
Posted 04 January 2009 - 09:24 AM
This needs to be clarified, as we interpreted "land on" as happening before "encounter" because that's the way the rules are worded.
Posted 04 January 2009 - 10:28 AM
1. Movement – The player rolls a die and moves his character that number of spaces around the board.
2. Encounters – Once a character has finished his move, he must encounter either the space or a character in the space where he lands.
You move a space that has the Marsh and a Thief. You decide not to encounter the Thief so the Marsh becomes the encounter for the space you land in. If you decide to encounter the Thief then you do not encounter the Marsh.

This has lad to some sticky issues in the past with multiple card spaces like Hidden Valley. Let's say the Marsh is on the Hidden Valley, but so is the Magic Portal. Can you use the Magic Portal OR get stuck in the Marsh? Do you still draw a card before you choose to use the Magic Portal because it is a Draw 3 card space? It would seem odd if you could simply choose not to encounter the Marsh since it is a negative (miss a turn) and draw another card and/or enter the Magic Portal.

Places have an encounter number of "6". So if there are two Place cards on the space, you will have to encounter them both, at the same time. If the Marsh and, say, the Magic Stream are both on the space, you will gain one Strength as well as losing a turn, IIRC.

If a space instructs a player to draw cards, the cards to be drawn are always Adventure Cards, drawn from the top of the Adventure deck. If there are already any cards of any type on the space (such as Adventure, Purchase, or Spell Cards), then only enough cards to make up the given number may be drawn.
Adventure Cards must be dealt with in the order determined by their encounter number, starting with the lowest number, then the next lowest, and so on. In the case of a tie, the character encounters Adventure Cards in the order they were drawn.

From a past game:
A character was on the Mines space, having successfully passed his Craft check, waiting to move on to the Vampires next turn. I cast Random on that character, and he was transformed into a Toad, and dropped all his Objects, Gold, and Followers on the Mines space. That player decided to turn back to the Portal of Power. After resuming his normal form, that player re-entered the Portal of Power and went back to the Mines space.
1. May the character choose to encounter the space or the cards? That is, may he pick up the cards and gold instead of encountering the Mines space? If so, what happens the next turn?
We ruled that he must encounter the Mines and could only pick up the cards and gold if he received a result of 0 or less on his Craft check (his belonings were lost in the Mines and he could only recover them by making his way through).

LCD Display Questions - Longevity and Monochrome?
Cliff posted more than 13 years ago | from the nice-thin-displays-with-the-high-pricetag dept.
139At about the same time, two readers sent in questions about those expensive LCD panels that, if you are not fortunate enough to own one, you are envious of anyone who does (I know I am!). However, these two questions raise some interesting issues which I'm sure those of you looking to buy one, may be asking as soon as you make that purchase. One issue is longevity: how long do those LCD pixels last? Another issue is cost: why don't LCD manufacturers make lower-cost Monochrome LCD screens available for those who don't need to work in full-color glory?
Jack Frost IV asks: "Since higher resolution LCD panels have started to become a lot more common, many people have been complaining about dead pixels. I just received two SGI flat panels direct from the factory, and each shipped with a single dead pixel. In fact, the second display was a replacement for the first (for an issue unrelated to the dead pixel). While I understand the difficulties in manufacturing the displays, the single dead pixel doesn't concern me right now, as I don't notice it often. What bothers me is how many more pixels these displays will lose during a lifetime; say over the next three to five years. I want to replace a lot of my CRTs (Yes, *some* of us don't do color critical work, and LCDs are perfectly OK) with LCD panels, but if, say, a dozen pixels are going to die in 3 - 5 years, it's going to be quite annoying. SGI claims that once the pixel burns out, you'll never notice it was gone... but I don't buy it. Can anyone explain some of the longevity and degredation issues relating to flat panels?"
O'Bunny queries: "How come nobody apparently sells monochrome LCD monitors for PC-like devices? I'd love to have a largish (say, 1600x1200) flat monitor that: doesn't weigh five thousand pounds; isn't fifteen feet thick; and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
The rationales that I've heard behind the high costs of these monitors were:
- The manufacturing yield is low because of the large number of transistors that need to all work properly to display colours.
- The economy of scale currently is aimed at laptop users, for whom a 1600x1200 screen is impractically large (unless you happen to be Andre the Giant)
Ignoring the second part, why doesn't anyone make a decentmonochrome LCD monitor for those of us who want a large screen but don't necessarily need color?
In my case, I want to edit multi-channel audio. A Color display adds almost nothing to the information that I extract from the screen. I can select, cut, copy paste, apply effects, and otherwise mangle the sounds as well on a 1-bit per pixel display as I can on a 32-bpp monster.
I am also a technical writer. The documents I write are produced on a B&W laser printer, mostly. Certainly, on-line documents (and even most printed ones) can benefit from intelligent use of colour for various reasons, but most printed documents end up in black and white (mostly for cost reasons). Again, colour adds little to the experience.
So, I guess my question really comes down to the following:
- Where can I get a large monochrome flat-panel monitor for a PC?
- If I can't get one for $less than a colour flat panel, why not?"

The times, they continue to change.
I have a list as long as my arm – leg – okay, maybe body – about topics that I have wanted to blog about but hadn't. the couple of posts a month is probably a really clear indication of how crazy life off of the computer has been. I have really needed to focus on joy right now and unplugging a bit. But as I have said before, a source of joy is this blog, which is causing me to set the goal of blogging 5 times this week. More times than I've blogged in the last month! But I am ready to get back on the wagon.
I'll start with my birthday. I turned 26 (gulp!) last Saturday. I was approaching this particular birthday half with anxiety, half with ambivalence. 25 was exciting, plus I'd just moved to SF and started a new life so there were a lot of milestones going on. 26, however – different story. On the one hand, I'm all for celebrating every birthday. It's a time to celebrate yourself, do what you want, reflect on your life. Why should anyone wish a birthday not to come? It's so much better than the alternative! But of course, that self reflecting piece has gotten the best of me these days. Lots of time spend wondering where I am in life, how I got here, where I wish I was, and how to get there. So the birthday came with some baggage, but the good sort – the kind you use for positive growth.
I definitely was not going to let a birthday pass uncelebrated so I planned a three-part celebration to make sure everyone could take part that may want to. The morning sent me on a quest for bocce ball and picnic food, and then my sister officially began the party when she showed up fresh-faced from Berkeley. We set up shop at the lawn at the Conservatory of Flowers for a picnic.
We were blessed with amazing weather! It's rare that I feel comfortable in gauchos and a t-shirt in SF – correction, that never actually happens. But it was a perfect day. Lots of friends, friends of friends, cheap wine, kettle salt and fresh ground pepper chips, birthday cake oreos, and general fun times.
I felt very blessed to get to spend my special day with so many awesome people.
The evening activities commenced with a trip to Top of the Mark – blogger fail, no amazing pictures of the skyline! (Oh wait let's remember – the last three months of my life have been a blogger fail.) Top of the Mark is at the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental Hotel at Mason and California (1 Nob Hill). You pay $15 for an unremarkable martini, BUT the 360-degree views of the city can't be beat! It's definitely a special, once-in-a-while spot, so I was excited to get there again along with a bunch of friends who had never been before.
The party continued across the street at the Tonga Room – no pictures here either, too busy drinking the lava bowls full of sugary rum punch and dancing away on the dance floor.(For anyone who has not been to the Tonga Room, it's a historic "tiki bar" on the bottom floor of the Fairmont Hotel in Nob Hill – literally across the street from Top of the Mark. It rains inside and generally has a very cheesy but fun ambiance with drinks served in punch bowls and a live band that plays on a "boat" in the middle of the "lagoon" inside the restaurant. If you like tiki and love cheesy, you must come here.) The next day's continued celebration brought pancakes and a stroll across the Golden Gate.
I had a great birthday day, but also have enjoyed ruminating on my goals and dreams for the next year of my life. 25 was not a great year – it was an important year, a transition year, but not a "wonderful" year. I believe I started many processes of personal growth and development that will ultimately make me the person I am going to be, but I haven't gotten there – yet. however, I am looking forward to 26 and figuring out more about who I am and who I want to be. And I'm really grateful to have true friends to share it with.

The mammalian B-cell receptor-associated proteins of 29 and 31 kDa (BAP29 and BAP31) are conserved integral membrane proteins that have reported roles in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control, ER export of secretory cargo, and programmed cell death. In this study we investigated the yeast homologs of BAP29 and BAP31, known as Yet1p and Yet3p, to gain insight on cellular function. We found that Yet1p forms a complex with Yet3p (Yet complex) and that complex assembly was important for subunit stability and proper ER localization. The Yet complex was not efficiently packaged into ER-derived COPII vesicles and therefore does not appear to act as an ER export receptor. Instead, a fraction of the Yet complex was detected in association with the ER translocation apparatus (Sec complex). Specific mutations in the Sec complex or Yet complex influenced these interactions. Moreover, associations between the Yet complex and Sec complex were increased by ER stress and diminished when protein translocation substrates were depleted. Surprisingly, yet1Delta and yet3Delta mutant strains displayed inositol starvation-related growth defects. In accord with the biochemical data, these growth defects were exacerbated by a combination of certain mutations in the Sec complex with yet1Delta or yet3Delta mutations. We propose a model for the Yet-Sec complex interaction that places Yet1p and Yet3p at the translocation pore to manage biogenesis of specific transmembrane secretory proteins.

I have a single wall, clear poly-carb greenhouse. I have 3- 8 foot long X 16" deep X 18" wide soil boxes with heat tape in the bottoms. I have the soil up to 58 degrees in the boxes but it still gets down in the teens at night & the inside of the walls condensate & form ice. I can cover the soil boxes with clear plastic, keeping the 60 degree or so temperature around the plants thru the night. During the day I get 65 degrees inside & on sunny days I'm getting 75 deg. We now have about 14 hours of daylight & still increasing. I have thoroughly mixed the soil in the boxes, adding perlite with compost. I just watered the boxes today with hot water & plan to let the moisture even out for a couple of days. I can probably hold 60 degrees in the boxes if covered at night.
I know i'm getting "cabin fever" & want to get things growing. Should I try a couple of plant & risk losing them or be more patient & wait 2 or more weeks? I plan to uncover them during the day to let them breath & have a small fan running for inside air circulation. If they were to make it, they'd be "hardened off" to the greenhouse & transplant shock over with when growing season arrives. In Alaska tomatoes have to be grown in the greenhouse, well if you want lots of fruit anyway. Started tomatoes from seed, 7 weeks old, re-potted in 4" pots 1 week ago. 4" tall plants now. This would be the earliest I've ever planted the geenhouse by about 2 week, but the weather has been cooler this year. Still have snow on the ground. Heating the greenhouse is out, cost & single wall 8 X 12 greenhouse would take more power than it's wired for. Plus $100 per pound makes tomatoes just a little too spendy. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi bogy, I don't think there are to many people on this forum familiar with AK conditions. John |
This seems to be working for me. I had tomato sprouts out last night, greenhouse low -0.3C and they look fine. RE: New greenhouse - what can I do right now with it? * Posted by ljpother 3a (My Page) on I just put some water in my greenhouse. I realized my rain barrel wouldn't mind being used to hold water :) and I had other containers. I placed a layer of 4l ice cream pails under my flats, which should moderate temperature fluctuations. Altogether, I put about 450 litres of water in. US gallons ~120, imperial ~100. It sounds better in litres. Hopefully, this will be enough to keep the night time temperatures above freezing. o * Posted by ljpother 3a (My Page) on The water seems to be having an effect. Lows have been -1,-0.3C,2.3C. Outside temps were -8,-8,-3C. It seems the water is gradually getting warmer and that when the temp tries to go below freezing the heat capacity of the water holds the temperature steady. On the cold nights the green house temp went below freezing about 7AM and stayed there until the sun gets around to the greenhouse, 3-4 hours. |

Why not just add a small inexpensive electric heater? You can also insulate it with clear bubble wrap inside. You can get it cheap from any packaging house. |
Plants looking good so far. Covering the boxes is working well. Cucumber seeds sprouted. Soil temp holding at 70 deg F. :) ghr2 |
Wall-o-waters are 18 tubes 18 inches high of water encircling a plant and can be positioned as a teepee to completely cover the plant in solar-heated water. Your ground heat would also contribute. I have this set-up in a small bed with heat wire underneath and the cucumbers are above the water tubes now. I have wood heat and I check the stove every 3-4 hours in the night and keep it 50-65. It is a 20 foot square wooden pyramid with poly battened on both sides and dirt banked up on the plastic around the bottom. I just built it in February on the frozen ground. Each wall-o-water holds about 3 gallons so if you had say 33 x 3 gallons, you would have a 100 gallon solar heat store. By the time your plants reach the top, it should be less cold at night. |
When you plant will likely depend on many things. For what it is worth, we were harvesting tomatoes into December (in Zone 9 - foothills at 2400 feet elevation). In February, I dismantled the raised beds as I was moving them to an area nearer the greenhouse. At that time I took several volunteer plants (Sweet 100) which has sprouted - about 10 or so - and potted them in the greenhouse. I now have a few cherry tomatoes that are ripe - and have harvested some of those - and have many green ones on the plants. The plants are about 4 feet high in the greenhouse, and I have transplanted many more into the new raised beds - those are shorter as I pulled off lower branches and planted deep. I did not have to heat the gh except for 2-3 nights. I also planted kohrabi from seeds and we have been eating that for 2-3 weeks now. Lettuce and chard is also ready. My heirloom seeds are up - some still in the gh and some already in the raised beds, but they are only about 6" high. I have so many tomatoe plants that I will need to build another raised bed. I eventually want to see if I can get tomatoes year round - don't know if I will be able to do so but as it is we seem to have a fairly long season as we ended harvest in December and are getting more now in April - though only a few. |

I am only 23 days away from my baby's "guess date"! As I prepare to meet my new little one I find myself looking within and becoming reflective about the recent events in my life.
During the past 5 years I have worked with close to 200 women/couples as they have prepared for and welcomed their new babies into the world and I still feel honored everytime someone asks me to help her during her pregnancy and her baby's birth. I can't even begin to explain how much I have learned about life during the past 5 years. I know that I have found something that few people ever find-I've found a way to get paid for what I enjoy doing most!
I will be taking a break from attending births for about 9 months, however, I will begin teaching HypnoBirthing classes again mid-January 2010. If you or someone you know and love is pregnant, please have them contact me about my upcoming HypnoBirthing classes at email@example.com or 773-620-3829.
I have received many comments and testimonials from the moms and dads I have worked with. I've included some below:
HypnoBirthing Testimonials
"When I was pregnant with my son Adam, I imagined a labor and birth that was calm, gentle and I wanted to be connected with my husband and new baby. I found that HypnoBirthing with Tricia was a gift and a connection that gave Adam not just the chance to be born healthy but to thrive. Before he was born I looked forward to having time together everyday listening to the rainbow relaxation CD. If I ever had doubts or fears about the pregnancy or birth I would listen to it day or night and I would immediately become calm. I found that the classes that Tricia lead gave us a whole new perspective about what our roles were as parents and Adam's birth. My husband really wanted to be the person at my side and Tricia supported us and checked in and kept us both in a calm state of mind. I love how Adam came into this world at 9 lbs 4 oz. My labor was focused, gentle and loving (and totally drug free). I really believe that because Tricia, Alex, Adam and my midwife all worked together as a team, my environment and how I wanted to birth Adam was supported, uncomplicated and truly the greatest moment in my life. Thanks Tricia!"
- Dr. Laura Ledger
Cedar Rapids, Iowa (formerly of Chicago)
"My husband and I weren't exactly sure what to expect from HypnoBirthing classes, we just knew we wanted to try for an unmedicated birth with as little intervention as possible. Tricia was an excellent educator; she really opened our eyes to the world of gentle birthing. We used the deep relaxation techniques, and our daughter was born naturally in under six hours. It was such an amazing experience, thank you Tricia!
And that's the truth! Thank you for everything, we couldn't have done it without you."
Carly Majszak & Andy Olczak
"To call Tricia's HypnoBirthing class educational and resourceful will not do it justice, it was also truly inspirational. We loved watching the tapes of natural births. My husband and I learned a lot about natural birth in the class and it gave us confidence that we can do our VBAC naturally. After class: When I went into labor, there was absolutely no panic. We put most of the techniques we learned to work and gave birth to our beautiful baby daughter 100% naturally! We finally had the birth we had always wanted.
Through HypnoBirthing, I was able to give my baby the gift of a birth without drugs and myself a gift of a VBAC. It was a wonderful spiritual experience. I focused inwards, meditated and was swaying peacefully during the second stage of labor. Having seen both ways of giving birth, drug-free natural birth rocks! I really experienced the pleasure of giving birth. My baby found my nipples and started nursing spontaneously when I held her skin-to-skin just a few minutes after birth. That is the 'proof in the pudding' that HypnoBirthing works."
Hema Sundaram
Chicago, IL
"HypnoBirthing was extremely valuable. It provided my husband and me with a variety of tools to help us through the birthing process. This was especially beneficial for my husband because he learned what he could do to help me. The class also forced my husband and I to take the time to discuss the type of birth experience we wanted and what we needed from each other, the hospital, and the healthcare providers for that to take place. Because of HypnoBirthing, I really felt like I was in control of my birth and had a wonderful experience."
Deirdre Brown
Elmhurst, IL
"Unfortunately I was induced but I had a great, supportive nurse who kept the Pitocin low, 30 minutes after my doctor broke my water, I went into Hard labor, I breezed through transition and began pushing 45 minutes later! I laid back, let my body take over and Zachary was born about 30 minutes later - I was surprised at how easy my birth really was! What a miracle to experience labor and delivery and to see this amazing, beautiful baby boy in my arms!"
Samantha and Evan Dench
Zachary Dench, born 12-24-07
"HypnoBirthing is an empowering, natural childbirth method. It allowed us to have the birth we desired: peaceful, relaxed, and most importantly, drug-free."
Julie and Shaun Krueger
Oak Park, IL
"I found Tricia to be very knowledgeable and helpful in the last few months of my pregnancy and during the birth of my son, Jonah. HypnoBirthing helped me through labor even though I ended up having a Cesarean. Tricia is one of the most caring people I have ever met, her soothing presence, encouragement, and proactive attitude as a doula helped me through all the unexpected situations that arose during Jonah's birth. I feel so blessed to have had her there!"
Elizabeth, Aaron and Jonah Groff (5/29/08)
Crete, IL
"I recommend Trish's class to everyone who has any fear for their pregnancy and labor or who wants to have a fear-free, comfortable, easy birth. I think HypnoBirthing is the best method and the best way of getting prepared for the birth of any baby and Trish has executed a wonderful class. We definitely used the variety of information and samples provided in the classes during our beautiful daughter's birth. HypnoBirthing in general and Trish's class is definitely helpful, even if you plan or end up with c-section."
Ebru, mother of Asya Cansu (born Feb 18, 2008)
"My wife was completely excited about the class. I, however, was a bit skeptical and decided to attend solely for support. I was surprised to see there was a very down to earth approach on Trish's part which I appreciated as a "not so spiritual" type of guy. The class was also great in the sense that it confirmed or re-affirmed thoughts and approaches I already had in mind. In summary, I'd say the class was great and helpful. I learned a lot."
Renny, father of Asya Cansu (born Feb 18, 2008)
"We wanted to try the natural route for my second birth and HypnoBirthing seemed to be the most gentle and relaxing. Class was exactly that, relaxing and also very informative. Tricia made giving birth sound like the natural process it was created to be and de-medicalized the birthing process. I am proud to say that my daughter was born without the use of pain medication. It was a great experience."
Michelle Fregoso
"Tricia was a wonderful HypnoBirthing instructor and doula for us. She truly helped to make the birthing of our daughter an amazing experience. I would recommend her services to everyone!"
Lindsay and Matt Gopin
Chicago, IL
"Being pregnant for the first time, I did not know what to expect during labor and delivery. I took Tricia's HypnoBirthing class with my husband and found the information and relaxation techniques to be indispensable! The tools learned still help me today to relax and center myself as a new mom. I will use this method with all my births!"
"I hesitated when my wife said she wanted to take a HypnoBirthing class and have a Doula present at our first child's birth. I did not know much about child birth at the time, and I thought it sounded a little weird. It was the best decision we could have made. I learned what to expect and how to help my wife relax and focus. As a Doula, Tricia helped my wife in ways I could not. Her presence was calming to not only my wife but to me as well and she helped make a very difficult day easier. I am forever grateful."

Doula Testimonials
"Being pregnant for the first time, I was naturally anxious about labor and delivery. Having Tricia present at my birth as a Doula was one of the best decisions I have ever made (honestly!). Her knowledge, support and calming presence helped my husband and I through a 23 hour labor, including a c-section, and I intend to have her present at all of my births. She is an amazing woman and now a good friend."

"Tricia was an unbelievably calming presence during my VBAC – she was a confident and focused presence and helped me to stay present and calm. From the talks we shared before, through the actual birth and afterward – she shared wonderful information, personal experience and gave me the confidence I needed. My baby just turned one, and I will always remember his birth and Tricia's role in that great day!"
"I wasn't sure what to expect from having a doula at our second birth, but my wife really wanted one to have a successful VBAC. Tricia right away made me feel comfortable in her role, didn't take anything away from me and in fact I was able to follow her lead in what to say and do to make my wife comfortable. I'm not sure I would have been able to enjoy the event as much without her there – helping me just as much as she helped my wife"
Much love,
Elizabeth and Greg Kachoris
Bolingbrook, IL
"Without Tricia's help, I doubt I could have made it through 25 hours of labor to have the unmedicated VBAC delivery I wanted. She came to my house in the wee hours of the morning and stayed with me until Ada was born around 10pm, suggesting laboring positions, reminding me of HB techniques, offering me food and drink and cheerleading me through a stalled labor and a rough transition."
Ada, born 7/17/07

"Tricia, our instructor for HypnoBirthing classes, was also our doula. Tricia was absolutely wonderful. I had my husband, my mom and Tricia as my support team. Tricia made sure everyone felt they were part of the birthing process. She was there the whole time when I needed her. She understood my need for a VBAC totally and provided emotional and physical support throughout my labor. She took cues on what I needed without even me asking for anything. She even remembered that aromatherapy relaxed me and came prepared. We loved having Tricia in the birthing room with us so much, we always think of her when we think of the warm memories of having a calm natural birth of our beautiful baby daughter. Thanks Tricia!"
Hema Sundaram
Chicago, IL
"I would not have been able to go through my 34 hour labor without Tricia; she not only helped me but my husband as well. We decided not to vaccinate and the hospital wasn't very helpful, but having Tricia there was the support we needed to stand our ground."

This is a place to share my experiences and thoughts as a mom, doula, and HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator. I also hope that the moms, dads, and families with whom I work will share their birth stories and experiences. Have fun!! firstname.lastname@example.com www.chicagohypnodoula.com

Hack & Slash
this wiki
Hack & Slash games are beat 'em up games with intense weapon-based combat and a deeper focus on story.
The genre was started by games like Golden Axe. The genre was later evolved with the advent of 3D games. The 3D Hack & Slash games are more like action-adventure game, with puzzle solving and a story driven plot.
Golden Axe (1989) was acclaimed for its visceral hack & slash action and cooperative mode, and was influential through its selection of multiple protagonists with distinct fighting styles.[1] It is considered one of the strongest beat 'em up titles for its fantasy elements, distinguishing it from the urban settings seen in other beat 'em ups.[2] Other 2D examples include Knights of the Round, The King of Dragons, Dungeons & Dragons Collection, Guardian Heroes, and Dungeon Fighter Online.
The Dynasty Warriors series, beginning with Dynasty Warriors 2 in 2000, offered traditional beat 'em up action on large 3D battlefields, displaying dozens of characters on the screen at a time.[3][4] The series to date spans 14 games (including expansions) which players in the West view as overly similar, although the games' creators claim their large audience in Japan appreciates the subtle differences between the titles.[5][6] While critics saw Dynasty Warriors 2 as innovative and technically impressive,[5][3] they held a mixed opinion of later titles. These later games received praise for simple, enjoyable gameplay but were simultaneously derided as overly simplistic and repetitive.[5][7]
In recent years, the beat 'em up genre has seen a revival in the form of popular 3D hack & slash games in the style of Devil May Cry (2001 onwards), including Ninja Gaiden (2004 onwards), God of War (2005 onwards), Heavenly Sword (2006), Afro Samurai (2009),[8] and Bayonetta (2009).[9]

Isla Holbox
CasaSandra Hotel
Holbox, Mexico
The island of Holbox (pronounced "Ole-bosh") is a tiny spit of land off the Yucatán Peninsula, laced with sand roads. As soon as Cuban-born artist Sandra Pérez arrived, she knew she wanted to stay for good, so she created a retreat that would feel more like a residence than a formal hotel. CasaSandra, the 20-room result, is spread out among seven oceanfront buildings decorated with Guadalajaran antiques and brightly colored hand-woven linens. Palapas are sprinkled along the beach, and the water's edge is 50 uninterrupted steps away. Ask the staff to arrange a fishing excursion, then have chef Mariela Rajo prepare your catch for dinner. From June to August, you can swim alongside harmless migrating whale sharks.

2012 MAXC Racing – Round 10 – Big Nasty- ATV Race Report
ITP's Adam McGill Wins, Ryan Lane & Jonathan Fugate Round Out AA Class Podium
Nashville, IN (10/29/2012) –The Blingstar MAXC Racing Series season finale was held this past weekend in beautiful Nashville, Indiana. Named the "Big Nasty" the MAXC crew worked hard to create one of the best and most challenging tracks at the former Ski World ski resort.
The AMA Blingstar MAXC Round 10 season finale was held at the old Ski World Ski Resort in Nashville, Indiana that closed in 2004
As you may have guessed the "Big Nasty" MAXC featured many elevation changes and took riders over many of the abandoned ski slopes making the racing at MAXC Round 10 exciting for both racers and spectators. The track was 7 miles in length and consisted of many mowed hillsides, open fields, tight woods, off cambers, and of course many hill climbs. Several of racers stated that the "Big Nasty" MAXC was one of the most challenging courses this season.
HMF's Kevin Cunningham grabbed the MAXC AA class holeshot & the MZM Performance Holeshot award at the Big Nasty MAXC
Lonestar's Adam McGill once again made the 5-hour drive from West Virginia to race the final round of the MAXC ATV Racing Series. There, McGill would take his fourth consecutive win at the MAXC Round 10 in Nashville, Indiana. After grabbing second in the first turn, Adam McGill applied pressure to Kevin Cunningham who grabbed the MZM Performance Holeshot award and made the pass to grain the lead when Cunningham got caught in some brush and crashed.

"I had a decent start. I think I second or third in the first corner. You really had to be careful on the first lap or two. If you weren't careful you could end up in trouble. I know Cunningham went end-over-end and I ended up catching him. I'm glad he was alright. Overall I had a good day the bike got a great start. I like coming out here and the MAXC series is great!" said Precision Racing's Adam McGill.

Placing second overall and second in the AA Pro ATV Class was Spider Graphix' Ryan Lane. After getting a mid pack start Ryan Lane worked his way up to second place before crossing the finish aboard his DC Cycles powered Honda 450R ATV.
MAXC AA ATV Class Points leader Ryan Lane rounded out the AA Class podium in third. Lane was also awared with the MAXC AA ATV Class Championship
"It was a good track. I got out second and Cunningham got out from everybody for a little bit. The first couple laps McGill gained some time on me. After that I kind of got into a rhythm and went from there." stated HMF's Ryan Lane.
AMA Blingstar MAXC AA Pro ATV Points leader Ryan Lane also wrapped up his first AA Pro ATV Championship at MAXC Round 10.
Jet Suspension's Brycen Neal placed third overall in the Adult ATV Podium & earn the Open A Championship Title

Placing third in the AA Class was Jonathan Fugate. This was Fugate's second MAXC race in the AA class and he has landed on the podium both times. Fugate will be one to watch in the 2013 MAXC ATV Racing season.
Despite grabbing the MAXC ATV AA Class holehot, defending MAXC Champion Kevin Cunningham ran into some issues on the first couple laps.
"I had a really good start and I was just going from there. I was going up one of the uphills that shelved off and I was on the throttle and like Adam (McGill) said he seen my skid plate and the bike on top of me. I got to my quad and my clutch lever was bent down and I tried to bend it back up."
Fly Racing's Kevin Cunningham placed second in the 2012 Blingstar MAXC Series
"I had a pretty good ride going and I was still in third. I got to the top of the Pro hill and I got hung up on a big stick that went clear threw my heal guard. Brycen (Neal) got hung up behind me and I helped him get undone. I ended up having to run clear down over the hill to get some other people to help me get the quad undone. We ended up having to use a knife to cut the nerfbar nets to get the quad undone" said Cunningham Racing's Kevin Cunningham.

On the third lap I started kick it up a bit and kept passing people and passing people and caught up to some of the pros and ended up second in the A class and sixth overall.

Blood Sport: Become a 5v5 master (healing pairs of 2-healer teams) {WoW}
Aug 3rd 2010 6:27AM Radiohead + 5v5? That sounds like a winning combination to me.
Great article. I think 5v5 is my favourite bracket too. I currently play Rogue, Ele, Hunter, Disc, Resto Druid (I'm the tree)
I suppose the synergy isn't great. Our general tactic is to have the Priest playing mega-offensive; Mass dispelling, Fear Bombing, Mana Burning etc. I tend to be the main healer while trying to keep one of their team cycloned as much as possible. I'll usually cycle between a Healer and a DPS class. Our Hunter and Rogue usually attack separate targets to get the -50% healing effect up on two targets (and switch if a kill opportunity arrises) while our Ele Shaman just nukes.
I've always wanted to try Euro Comp on my Druid. RMP is one of the best comps in 3v3 and Resto / Warlock is one of the best in 2v2 so I could imagine having some real fun with that comp.
Very interesting stuff about Resto Shamans as well. I'd never put any serious thought into how they could work in 5v5. My team always train them if we come up against them so I always figured they'd be a weak choice.
Breakfast Topic: Your first WoW memory {WoW}
Jun 27th 2010 8:56AM My first memory of WoW was starting the game as a human priest. This was back in 2004 some time. My friend advised me against leveling a priest because it was really boring to level back then. But seen as I insisted on playing a priest he advised I spec shadow. I ignored this advise as well and went holy. I got to level 14 and went to Westfall. I soon realised I couldn't kill anything without drinking after every fight (I didn't know about wands back then). I quickly regretted going holy (even though shadow would be barely any different at that level). So I quit the game because I didn't know about respecs.
I started playing again in 2006 on a new account (because I still can't remember the original account's username / password to this day).
Now I have two level 80s (one with full ICC 25 gear and Wrathful PvP gear) and two more closing in on the 80 mark. I'm currently leveling a priest so I can finally play the class I originally wanted to play! How things change...
The Daily Quest: Burning out {WoW}
Jun 25th 2010 12:07PM I agree with both of you!
Gief weekly quests instead of dailies!
We already have daily dungeons and daily battlegrounds. You could literally spend 6 hours a day just doing all the possible daily things.
War games mode coming to Cataclysm battlegrounds {WoW}
Jun 12th 2010 12:47PM I totally agree that cross-server BGs and dungeons has made the whole process a lot faster. However it definitely has affected the sense of community.
When I was leveling my current main, a Druid, there was a great sense of community while leveling up. I used to start my own groups for instances and made some great friends (people always want to be friends with you when you can tank AND heal haha). This was only 6 months ago.
I'm now leveling a Priest (currently at level 61). The leveling process has been a LOT faster with the new dungeon system but I've only made one friend while leveling. Surprisingly, it is someone on the opposite faction who I kept running into and fighting. They logged another character and started chatting.
On the Druid I made maybe 15 friends while leveling... On the Priest... One.
I think this new War games mode will be great for bringing back that sense of server community. It will also be a great platform for same-faction guild rivalries.
Cataclysm Class Changes: Druid {WoW}
Apr 10th 2010 5:36PM Maybe you misunderstood or maybe I've misinterpreted the change. But I've gathered that the idea is to up our healing abilities while out of form.
ie: Our healing ability out of form would be en par with what it is currently in ToL form.
This essentially means the ToL cooldown is a boost for when it's needed. I kind of clutch spell for any really tough moments. Like maybe after Festergut's Pungent Blight.
From a pure healing point of view this would basically mean the change is purely cosmetic and we're gaining a +healing cooldown.
From a PvP point of view (and maybe PvE... who knows what the new bosses might require of the healers) this is a nice change. Currently we have to shift out of tree form to cyclone or root. After this buff we can use any spell at full potency for the spec without shifting (and hence wasting mana). Off topic a little but one concern I have is that this could be a concealed nerf to PvP Resto Druids. Will we get to keep Improved Barkskin for near-mail level armour out of form? Or will we be stuck with leather armour levels in exchange for slightly more flexibility?
Back on topic. People don't pick a Resto Druid for our Tree Form. People pick us for teams because of our incredible raid healing abilities. That's not changing in Cataclysm.

Specifications, Availability and Pricing
Above we get our first look at the specifications of the ASRock Core 100HD-BD nettop computer. As we just mentioned, this new generation system from ASRock marks the change from the low powered netbook Intel Atom processor to the more powerful Core mobile processors from Intel.
The system which we are looking at today is based on the Core i3-330M processor which comes clocked at 2.13GHz and 3MB of Intel Smart Cache. This Intel Socket PGA988 processor was launched at the start of this year and it is a dual-core Hyper Threading supported processor with a total of four threads. The chipset used is the Intel HM55 Express mobile chipset which comes with Intel HD Graphics. The system we received for review came with a total of 4GB of memory configured in dual-channel mode. The modules installed were two 2GB Elixir DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM sticks.
Along with the included Blu-ray optical drive was a Seagate Momentus 5400.6 500GB laptop sized 2.5-inch hard drive that spins at 5,400 RPM and uses a SATA 3Gb/s interface with 8MB of cache. It was a shame to see that a 7,200 RPM drive wasn't used, but that would only drive up the cost. If you want a speed boost, you would probably just replace it with a much faster SSD anyway.
On the audio side, you are very well covered. You not only get 7.1 channel HD audio with THX TruStudio Pro support, but thanks to use of the H55 chipset, you can also pass through HD audio over the HDMI connector for full Blu-ray HD audio support using bitstream. We have asked for this for a long time from nettop makers and it is fantastic to see ASRock listening. As far as networking goes, there is a single gigabit Ethernet port on the back and the unit also comes with 802.11n wireless for up to 300Mbps transfers. The system uses up to 90 watts of power (typically 50 - 80 watts according to ASRock, but we will measure that ourselves later in the review) and is nice and small with a volume of 2.5 liters and measurements of 195mm(W) x 70mm(H) x 186mm(L). The weight of the system with everything installed is only 1.72Kg; for a full computer that should be capable of some good things - impressive!
As far as price goes, we spotted the system on sale at Newegg for $699.99 USD with similar specifications as the unit we are reviewing here today. It's a bit rich for a nettop system, but keep in mind the Core 100HT-BD brings some vast improvements over previous models, so it only fits as to why it costs a couple hundred American bucks more. The cost of entry is set pretty high, but it could still turn out to be a very attractive proposition if it proves to be a solid home theater contender by performing well in our tests.
