Infused with the flavors of garlic and chili pepper, they add a bright, spicy kick to martinis and Bloody Marys. They're also a great addition to sandwiches, salads and antipasti platters.

Many years ago I worked at Bankers Trust Australia, building derivative product applications with VMS Cobol for the user interface and Fortran for the numerically intensive parts. I mention the technology so that you can understand that this was the early days of the derivatives markets when there were only a few players in Australia, using relatively unsophisticated technology. I remember how proud we were of the first release, particularly of the way we validated all the user input and provided field-by-field feedback to the traders. Then I was lead into a trap.
"Wow, that validation is really impressive. It must have taken you quite a while to do that", said a trader.
"Yeah, it probably took a few weeks to get it all right", we replied.
"So you could have delivered it a few weeks earlier if you hadn't done that?"
"Yes, but the application would have crashed each time you made a mistake and you'd have had to start again", we said.
"We're pretty smart, and we can learnt to deal with that. Next time we'd rather have the features two weeks earlier so we can make some money from them thanks".
The underlying problem was that we hadn't talked to them about what was important (my excuse is that it was a long time ago and I was young and naive), but the lesson has stuck with me. In that situation, an input function vomiting it's guts on the screen was a scope issue, not a quality issue. In the years since I've regularly heard people say "we cut quality to go faster" or "we cut quality to finish earlier", but when I dig deeper I invariably hear that they altered the behaviour from the end-user perspective, and to me, a developer on a software project, that's cutting scope. I appreciate that other people with different perspectives might consider these features to be the difference between a high-quality or low-quality application, so when we start talking about "quality" we probably need to clearly understand which perspective we're talking about.
I was reminded of that by a recent post by Uncle Bob that starts with "People often make the argument that time to market is more important that quality. I'm not sure just what they mean by that. Do they mean that it's ok if 20% of the features don't work so long as they deliver quickly? If so, that's just stupid.". I think that would be stupid, but what I think people mean is that the internal quality of the code has been sacrificed to reduce initial time to market, which is a very different proposition.

Master of the Lee Hours Flemish, probably Ghent, about 1450 - 1455 Tempera colors, gold leaf, and gold paint on parchment 7 5/8 x 5 1/2 in. MS. 2, FOL. 244
Within a letter O, the stiff and emaciated body of the dead Christ extends across the lap of the Virgin Mary, who is seated at the foot of the cross. Mary Magdalene and Saint John the Evangelist join the Virgin in mourning Jesus. The scene introduces one of the most popular medieval prayers addressed to the Virgin Mary, the Obsecro te, which begins: "I beseech you, Mary, holy lady, mother of God, most full of piety, most glorious mother, the way for those who stray, the salvation for those who hope in you, virgin before, during, and after birth, come and hasten to my aid and counsel." The jesters in the border bear no relationship to the page's text. They are a part of the whimsical visual vocabulary of late medieval illuminators.

China chastizes Beijing Motor Show over scantily clad models
Our post on China's "Tiger mom" phenomenon was illustrated with that above picture; it's the Jeep Wrangler Dragon Design Concept at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, accompanied by a booth professional. The model – her, not the Jeep – made a fair few friends in the Autoblog Comments section, but it turns out she and her kind attracted the ire of the Chinese authorities.
The Capital Ethics Development Office gave the Beijing show organizers a caning because the "scantily clad" models had "a negative social impact," and the show was warned not to let "such vulgar publicity" occur again. There's a lot of room between that leather bustier and a burqa, however, so all's not lost for next year's show in Shanghai.

This course teaches programming in the Java language -- i.e. the Java Standard Edition platform. It focuses on procedural and structured coding skills first, and then offers meticulous, in-depth coverage of object-oriented concepts and how to apply them to Java software design and development. The course then moves from these basic skills into key parts of the Java SE Core API, including collections, logging, streams, and object serialization. Automated unit-testing practices using JUnit are introduced.
This course also provides advanced training in developing software using the Java Platform, Standard Edition, or Java SE.General-purpose topics are covered: using and building generic types, writing multi-threaded applications, the Reflection API and annotations, and network programming using sockets. It combines nicely with various other courses in the Java curriculum, each of which is also "advanced Java" of some sort: JDBC, secure coding, Swing GUI programming, design patterns, and so on.
This revision of the course targets the 6.0 version of the Java language and Core API; but it is equally applicable to Java 5 and groups looking for Java training who know they'll be using Java 5 are encouraged to use this course.
* Make effective use of Java generic types. * Write multi-threaded Java applications. * Use the Reflection API for highly generic tasks, discovery, or code-generation. * Use standard annotations and develop custom annotations to express meta-data in Java source files. * Communicate between processes using network sockets.
This course is intended for programmers with experience in languages other than Java, but who may or may not have any previous Java experience.
No prior Java experience is required, but students must be experienced programmers in another third-generation (high-level) language. A good understanding of object-oriented programming concepts required. Students who do not meet the pre-requisites but wish to learn the basics of Java programming should start with our Oracle Certified Associate Java Programmer course.
10 days (with an optional 11th day for the certification exam)

With her sleekly-styled hair and outspoken support of her husband, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, Ann Romney makes her debut Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention as one in a long line of would-be first ladies.
While the phrase "behind every great man there's a great woman" may seem quaintly archaic by modern standards, when it comes to presidential biopics, those married to the president can be just as politically and emotionally fierce as the men they stick by — and stand up to.
Here are some memorable Republican first ladies from movie biopics about the Commander-in-Chief:

Lian-Li had their whole range of desktop and server solutions on display at their stand. They also had a variety of new models to show us with some cool additions such as dual window mods, coloured front bezel doors and basically just differently shaped front panels. However, most of the internal design has remained the same throughout the whole range.
We only took pictures of the new models on display as i'm sure many of you have heard a lot about the older models plenty of times in the past. Lian-Li just got the new models shipped to them this week so they did not have any model names or specification sheets available for us at this time. At the moment there is not much to say about each case that you can't see from the pictures, so here are some images of their new models.
Another interesting feature on some of the new models is that the window panel is designed in such a way that you can either have the window looking straight into your case, or just have a sheet of aluminium covering the window and your system internals from view. This is quite hard to explain in text, but hopefully the following picture gives you a better idea of what i'm talking about.

1 Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; protect me from men of violence, |
2 Those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war. | 2 who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day. |
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper's poison is under their lips. Selah. | 3 They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent's; the poison of vipers is on their lips. "Selah" |
4 Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men: Who have determined to trip my feet. | 4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from men of violence who plan to trip my feet. |
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, They have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah. | 5 Proud men have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and have set traps for me along my path. "Selah" |
6 I said to Yahweh, "You are my God." Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh. | 6 O LORD, I say to you, "You are my God." Hear, O LORD, my cry for mercy. |
7 Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle. | 7 O Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer, who shields my head in the day of battle-- |
8 Yahweh, don't grant the desires of the wicked. Don't let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah. | 8 do not grant the wicked their desires, O LORD; do not let their plans succeed, or they will become proud. "Selah" |
9 As for the head of those who surround me, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them. | 9 Let the heads of those who surround me be covered with the trouble their lips have caused. |
10 Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, Into miry pits, from where they never rise. | 10 Let burning coals fall upon them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise. |
11 An evil speaker won't be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him. | 11 Let slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down men of violence. |
12 I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy. | 12 I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy. |
13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence. | 13 Surely the righteous will praise your name and the upright will live before you. |

Call me crazy, but seeing a golden eagle soar along about 10 yards overhead paralleling your route as you are traversing an exposed ridge after a nice snow climb to an unnamed peak in a lightly used range in one of the world's greatest wilderness complexes pretty much makes the day, no matter what else happens-- including a skin-soaking thunderstorm-- a great one. And that was just one of the highlights. It was a great day of mountaineering, easily among one of my best ever.More
I left with Joanna on July 27th at 6:00 am from Lynnwood to the North Fork Sauk trail-head with the intention of camping at White Pass where we part ways, climbing Indian Head the next morning, moving to Red pass in the afternoon and then attempt the Painted Traverse counter-clockwise to Black Mountain the following day. The last bit didn't work out since I felt unsafe without snow in the gulley on Black but overall it was a great time out. I hadn't had any sleep the previous night since I was talking with my brother Josh and Matt Lemke who had just returned from a long trip in Peru and also some personal stuff I wanted to take care of. The trail miles seemed a little slower since I hadn't been used to packing for multiple days in a while. We arrived at Mackinaw around 10am and took a brief water break before marching up the hot switchbacks to White Pass. I was very surprised to see how many wild strawberries there were all the way up the trail in sunny clearings. They are ripening and very much sweeter than store-bought.More
This is the story of a father-daughter adventure in Central America. I had told the kids that when they turned 10, they could do a trip with just dad if they would like. Shaylee and I had planned a trip to Central America so we could do a humanitarian aid trek. Unfortunately, the organizers of the treks decided that she was too young, so we had to make alternate plans. We came up with lots of alternate plans including bungee jumping, climbing volcanoes, ziplining, and viewing wildlife. Despite a few bumps and setbacks, we accomplished a lot in our allotted 19 days away from home. This was my third time to Guatemala (having been there in 1992-1993 and 2008) and Shaylee's second time. I knew Guatemala had changed when the first store I saw was a Wal-Mart! Although I had been to Guatemala on two previous trips, other than climbing Volcán Tajumulco, we would visit things and areas that we hadn't seen before. The first trip to Guatemala, I climbed Volcán Tacana and Volcán Tajumulco and the second time we visited Esquipulas and the Copan area. We had also both visited El Salvador previously (2008), but last time we visited La Palma and El Pital (the highest peak in the country), so this time we'd see all new areas.More
On Friday, January 16th we drove down from Denver area to Buena Vista. The guide book talked about parking around 9200 ft in the winter, as the road would not be plowed past that point. We drove up to about 9000 ft of elevation, but had to go back and park around 8700 on the side of the road, as we didn't have chains and the 4WD had trouble going up the snowy uphill. We left the car around 10pm and hiked in up to roughly 9100 ft, just past the boundary of the San Isabel National Forest, where we pitched our tent on the snow. Given that next day's 8 mile hike didn't promise to be too difficult, we set the alarm for 7:30am, and went to sleep around midnight. On Saturday, January 17th we got up around 7:30 am, and started moving by about 9am after having breakfast and packing up. More
This article, and the one to follow it, is not an attempt to recreate those previous ones. As someone who joined in 2004 and didn't really become active until the fall of 2006, I just do not have the firsthand knowledge to document what those articles covered. Also, this article is not going to go into every significant change and event on SP since the times those articles spanned. Instead, its focus is on one of two questions I and many others have asked many times.More
Over the years that I have been a member here, I've seen many departures, some more memorable than others, and it has led me to conclude that if you decide to leave SP, you should do so in style instead of going quietly, which is no fun for anyone and virtually assures that you will soon be forgotten. Hopefully, this article will provide some useful tips for how to make your exit from SP one for the memories! There are two essential components to a good public breakup with SP: flaming in the forum and deleting your material. Let's examine the two in more detail.More
Pioneering spirit is fed by achievement, the more difficult the challenge, the more satisfying the process. Falling short whets the appetite for more.

My new report went live this week for Forrester clients - Predictions For 2014: Technology Monitoring. Normally I am a bit of a skeptic when it comes to predictions, especially in regards to technology, because while they are interesting to read they can cause confusion and unnecessary deliberation for a buyer/strategist if they are not in context. So my aim for this report was to provide some concrete advice for I&O professionals in 2014 in regards to their technology monitoring (user experience, applications and infrastructure) strategy or approach.
So my top level advice is that during 2014, I&O has to concentrate on monitoring business technology which serves external customers. In fact this is not just a call for I&O professionals but also the rest of the business including marketing and eBusiness professionals. Why? Well just take a look at the near weekly media reports on "computer glitches" during 2013. These glitches meant lost revenue but more seriously impacted the brand image. Technology fuels business and this means that monitoring has to be a strategic business concern. So to avoid your company being the next computer glitch headline you should:

Firstly, I hope all my American colleagues and friends are enjoying Thanksgiving. Happy holidays everyone!
I especially hope that all the IT professionals who work in the consumer retail markets get some rest because this coming Monday is Cyber Monday, one of the biggest days for online shopping transactions in the business year. Cyber Monday is part of the holiday season, which Forrester defines as November through December, and as our recent retail forecast report for 2013 points out, we expect online sales to top $78 billion in the US alone. Cyber Monday is not just a US event though; even in the UK, spending is forecast by Sage Pay to be more than £500m for this one day alone.
These figures highlight how digital our world has become. There is no need to go out in the cold or the rain as purchases can be made via mobile devices at any time or anywhere. This move to the digital world means that for many consumer retail companies, their websites and increasingly their mobile apps are now key to their success as they are becoming a major revenue and brand image contributor.

As businesses get serious about the cloud, developers are bringing more business-critical transaction data to cloud-resident web and mobile apps. Indeed, web and mobile apps that drive systems of engagement (how you interact with your customers and partners) are the reason why many companies look to the cloud in the first place. Public clouds offer the speed and agility developers want, plus the development tools they need. Once you've built a killer web or mobile app in the cloud and it's in production, driving real revenue, who's responsible for making sure it performs?
It's a team effort. Developers have to think about performance management as they build, and IT operations teams need to design application monitoring and management into their cloud deployment processes up front. Why? Because there's no time to do it later. You won't have time to implement a new app monitoring solution for each new cloud app before you need to get it out to users. And once it's out there, you need to be tracking user experience immediately.
In traditional IT, one of the reasons we could get away with limited insight into application performance was because we usually overprovisioned resources to make sure we didn't have to worry about it. It's easier to have excess capacity than to solve tricky performance problems – problems you might only see once in a while.

Have you ever done an audit of the number of monitoring solutions that you have in your environment? If you haven't you are probably thinking - Why should I? I suppose if you draw an analogy to checking your car engine then not many people do this anymore. We are comforted by the thought that modern technology means our cars just work, but the reality is that with moving parts, technology will still fail and so we should at least be checking the important components before a long journey. Similarly the IT monitoring solutions that we have in our environment are important to the overall health of IT and so should therefore be audited to make sure they are 'working'.
If you have done an audit then this may have prompted a number of questions including:

One of the many hilarious scenes in Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the "Bridge of Death" sequence. This week's news that Dell plans to acquire Quest Software makes one think of a slight twist to this scene:
Bridgekeeper: "What ... is your name?" Traveler: "John Swainson of Dell." Bridgekeeper: "What ... is your quest?" Traveler: "Hey! That's not a bad idea!"
We suspect Dell's process was more methodical than that!
This acquisition was not a surprise, of course. All along, it has been obvious that Dell needed stronger assets in software as it continues on its quest to avoid the Gorge of Eternal Peril that is spanned by the Bridge of Death. When the company announced that John Swainson was joining to lead the newly formed software group, astute industry watchers knew the next steps would include an ambitious acquisition. We predicted such an acquisition would be one of Swainson's first moves, and after only four months on the job, indeed it was.

I have been working on a research document, to be published this quarter, on the impact of 8-socket x86 servers based on Intel's new Xeon 7500 CPU. In a nutshell, these systems have the performance of the best-of-breed RISC/UNIX systems of three years ago, at a substantially better price, and their overall performance improvement trajectory has been steeper than competing technologies for the past decade.
This is probably not shocking news and is not the subject of this current post, although I would encourage you to read it when it is finally published. During the course of researching this document I spent time trying to prove or disprove my thesis that x86 system performance solidly overlapped that of RISC/UNIX with available benchmark results. The process highlighted for me the limitations of using standardized benchmarks for performance comparisons. There are now so many benchmarks available that system vendors are only performing each benchmark on selected subsets of their product lines, if at all. Additionally, most benchmarks suffer from several common flaws:

Events are, and have been for quite some time, the fundamental elements of IT infrastructure real-time monitoring. Any status changed, threshold crossed in device usage, or step performed in a process generates an event that needs to be reported, analyzed, and acted upon by IT operations.
Historically, the lower layers of IT infrastructure (i.e., network components and hardware platforms) have been regarded as the most prone to hardware and software failures and have therefore been the object of all attention and of most management software investments. In reality, today's failures are much more likely to be coming from the application and the management of platform and application updates than from the hardware platforms. The increased infrastructure complexity has resulted in a multiplication of events reported on IT management consoles.
Over the years, several solutions have been developed to extract the truth from the clutter of event messages. Network management pioneered solutions such as rule engines and codebook. The idea was to determine, among a group of related events, the original straw that broke the camel's back. We then moved on to more sophisticated statistical and pattern analysis: Using historical data we could determine what was normal at any given time for a group of parameters. This not only reduces the number of events, it eliminates false alerts and provides a predictive analysis based on parameters' value evolution in time.
The next step, which has been used in industrial process control and in business activities and is now finding its way into IT management solutions, is complex event processing (CEP).

The marriage of Gomez and Compuware is starting to bear fruits. One of the key aspects of web application performance management is end user experience. This is approached largely from the data center standpoint, within the firewall. But the best solution to understand the real customer experience is to have an agent sitting on the customer side of the application, without the firewall, a possibility that is clearly out of bounds for most public facing applications. The Gomez-Compuware alliance is the first time that these two sides are brought together within the same management application, Compuware Vantage. What Vantage brings to the equation is the Application Performance Management (APM) view of IT Operations: response time collected from the network and correlated with infrastructure and application monitoring in the data center. But, it's not the customer view. What Gomez brings with its recent version, the "Gomez Winter 2010 Platform Release" is a number of features that let IT understand what goes beyond the firewall: not only how the application content was delivered, but how the additional content from external providers was delivered and what was the actual performance at the end user level: the outside-in view of the application is now combined with the inside-out view of IT Operations provided by Vantage APM. And this is now spreading outside the pure desktop/laptop user group to reach out the increasing mobile and smart phone crowd. IT used to be able to answer the question of "is it the application or the infrastructure?" with Vantage. IT can now answer a broader set of questions: "is it the application, the internet service provider, the web services providers?' for an increasingly broader range of use-case scenarios.

Stay-At-Home Dad: Battle summer boredom at Cantigny's Tank Park
BY HOWARD A. LUDWIG June 14, 2013 8:34AM
A group of boys play at Catigny Tank Park in Wheaton. | Howard A. Ludwig~For Sun-Times Media
Updated: July 17, 2013 6:25AM
Sometimes heavy artillery is needed to battle summer boredom. Well, there's a whole field of tanks and cannons to do just that at Cantigny Park in Wheaton.
A group of neighborhood parents arranged a trip to the estate of the late Col. Robert R. McCormick last week. Renamed Cantigny Park, the 500-acre property is just off Interstate 88 at the Winfield Road exit.
A caravan of minivans descended on the grounds during the opening days of summer vacation. Neighborhood boys between the ages of 6 and 12 crowded into several high-mileage vans. Their back-seat conversations relied heavily on bad jokes about butts and farting.
Upon our arrival, the gate attendant asked for $5. I happily paid in cash. In an era when going to the movies, a baseball game or the zoo can cost a family upward of $100, being charged five bucks per car is borderline baffling. I must admit the price contributed to my appreciation of Cantigny Park.
Most of the parents on the outing were moms with sons. Some of the boys invited a buddy or two. Very few sisters tagged along. This was definitely a boys trip.
I soon realized the reason for this gender disparity. As we stepped out of the car, every boy suited up with whatever camouflage fatigues they could muster and went storming into the meadow.
Awaiting their arrival was the "Tank Park" — a collection of roughly a dozen retired tanks and large cannons.
Children are welcome to explore these hulking rovers and giant guns in whatever way they like. Most climb on them, brandishing Nerf guns and other toy pistols. It didn't take long before the boys began coordinating battles between groups and calling out imaginary enemies approaching.
This looked like a blast, jarring memories of my own childhood. My brothers and I often played "Hide-and-Go Guns." The concept was the same as hide-and-seek, only everyone was armed with toy weapons. We played this game for hours, often in a cornfield at dusk.
The coordinators of Cantigny Park deserve credit for my flashback. These tanks could be kept behind velvet ropes. After all, children fall, and litigation is always a threat. But rather than succumb to such concerns, organizers have created an amazing jungle gym.
The battle was interrupted around noon for lunch. The homemade rations further kept costs down. It was also a picturesque day, and the grounds are well-manicured. Cantigny is the perfect place for a summer picnic.
After lunch, our group visited the museum adjacent to the tanks. The First Division Museum features artifacts and exhibits celebrating the 1st Infantry Division of the U.S. Army — also known as the Big Red One.
I knew little about this celebrated group prior to arriving at Cantigny. I left feeling like I'd learned something. My 6- and 5-year-old sons seemed to enjoy the museum, too. Bubba and Peter kept asking to "go back into the foxhole!"
By 2:30 p.m., everyone was tired. Our caravan departed, having seen only a fraction of the sprawling park. I'm looking forward to returning to explore the gardens and tour the McCormick mansion.
Maybe I'll even wear some camouflage and bring along a popgun.
It's been a long time since I've played Hide-and-Go Guns ... too long.

I was really impressed when I saw Fleet Foxes live, because I feel like live vocals don't always live up to the recordings, but their harmonies were just as beautiful live.
OMG, the Fleet Foxes version of Ginuwine's "Pony" is AMAZING.

Hey there FFG forum, as a foreword I would like to excuse myself if this post does not belong here. Im not keen on hijacking your forums, but I would really like to present an opportunity to the largest amount of WHFRP players possible.
My real-life friends and I have been playing roleplaying games for as long as I can remember. We are casual folks that used to love getting together to shoot the fish and have some fun rolling dice. However, in the last three years post-highschool, none of us have been able to find the time to meet with each other on any sort of regular basis to game.
Thus, we found ourselves with a problem; how would we continue our gaming (and more importantly, keep up our friendships over large distances)? Enter Empire in Blood, an extremely narrative-driven campaign that I have devised myself, with open-ended possibilities and a heavy emphasis on roleplaying and character development.
We play using a forum that I have created, posting our actions once every day around 7 PM EST. Some days people are absent, but for the majority of the time we are faithful, and in two short months have amassed over 200 posts between ourselves, and the game is well under-way.
That said, we are looking for one more person to complete our gaming group. Now, I have some other RL friends that are prospective, but I thought it would be certainly interesting for someone whom we do not know to participate, both to bring out the best narrative that we can make, and also to make another friend.
The standard is quite high, as you can imagine. For someone I dont know to enter into our gaming group, I would like a resume that not only shows your ability but your interest and responsibility to posting. Furthermore, it will be highly reccomended that you give me your cell-phone number so that I can text you whenever a new post goes up at night. Its not required, and I certainly wont ask for it off the bat, but once trust has been built I would prefer we did it that way!
If you are interested in getting into our game, then an email directed to firstname.lastname@example.com with WHFRP Resume in the headline would be appreciated. Here is what I am looking for, and the steps you should take:
1) Navigate to empireinblood.lefora.com and read! Our campaign so far reads much like a novel, and is really interesting. Also, we play 2nd edition WHFRP, but the rules are very customized and you will not need to be too involved in them. Again, most of what we do is narrative driven, and although we make rolls often, I prefer there to be some mystery to the mechanics so that you are honest with your rolls.
2) Decide that you are capable of posting every day. Does not matter what timezone, but every day is necessary!
3) Send me your resume.
4) In your resume, you should include:
-How long you have been playing roleplaying games (any!)
-Why you want to play with us
-The concept that you have for your character
- A short bio, that you can improve on later
- A quick example of your writing skills. Just a short little excerpt, you can write about 50 to 100 words about anything...your character in combat, in a situation, walking through the woods. Whatever!
We really have high hopes for this extra player, so please come play with us!

I'm having trouble finding the proper words to articulate how incredibly stupid 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver is for his anti-gay comments during Super Bowl week. So I'll just start by letting Culliver roast himself. He's pretty good at that, evidently.
During yesterday's Super Bowl Media Day Artie Lang ("hahahaha hey Chris I'm a funny guy and people think I'm really funny…so what do you think about gay players?") interviewed Culliver. He took this interview knowing Lange's nature, and the fact that he'd likely be dragged into an absurd conversation of some kind, or baited to say something dumb. Or much more likely, he didn't consider any of those things.
That's when this happened. From Yahoo's Martin Rogers:
"I don't do the gay guys man," said Culliver, whose Niners play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. "I don't do that. No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do.
"Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah…can't be…in the locker room man. Nah."
When quizzed by Lange whether any homosexual athletes would need to keep their sexuality a secret in football, Culliver responded: "Yeah, come out 10 years later after that."
Hey Chris, 1962 is calling. They'd like their worldview back. Thanks.
This is the same interview Lange reportedly started by asking Culliver to estimate how many white females he intends to have sex with this week in New Orleans. For some of you, your initial reaction will be to yell some obscenities about Lange, and you're all wrong.
Love him or hate him (I lean strong towards the latter), your opinion of Lange is irrelevant here. It's his job to be a lunatic, and to spot the easy target who will say something idiotic and reel in ratings. For him that's a limitless cycle, and he's quite skilled at making that loop continue. In fact, he's partly made a career out of that skill.
As a human with any intelligence whatsoever, if he wasn't able to anticipate the direction of the interview before it began, Culliver should have immediately become aware of an oncoming spiral after that first question. One more question of that nature should have led to the conclusion of the interview. That's Culliver's responsibility at any time and especially during Super Bowl week; to simply be aware of what the media is asking him, and the consequences of his answers. We're still only at mid-week, and now his 49ers teammates will have to deal with his comments repeatedly while they're trying to prepare for the most important game of their lives.
That's a secondary issue, of course, and I've intentionally buried the much larger issue because the judgement of Culliver's comments should be obvious. Yet sadly, perhaps it isn't.
He's 24 years old, and he's in only his second season as an NFL player after being drafted as a third-round pick in 2011. Yet despite his youth, and despite his lack of time in an NFL locker room, he's already convinced that a gay player should wait at least a decade after their retirement to publicly announce their sexuality. I think I've now found a word to describe that outlook: sad. Just sad.
I suppose Culliver's beliefs aren't surprising, though, which is also sad. We're only a week removed from Manti T'eo not just denying that he's gay during an interview with Katie Couric, but doing so emphatically. Couric aggressively questioned him about lying, and about leading the public on an elaborate hoax. He maintained his composure, and calmly denied every other accusation. Yet when his sexual orientation was questioned, T'eo was instantly defensive, saying he's "farrrrr from it".
We've recently had encouraging signs which indicate an openly-gay player would be supported. Trent Richardson — a rookie this year — said he'd be fine with a gay teammate, and there's been very public backings by Chris Kluwe (don't fear the cockmonster) and Brandon Ayanbadejo. But the now public homophobic beliefs held by Culliver remind us that the NFL is still firmly in dark times. Again, sad. Just sad.
But even beyond the incomprehensibly poor timing of these comments during Super Bowl week, and beyond the sheer derogatory nature of his views, it gets worse. Yep, that's possible.
It was only two days ago when we learned that Kwame Harris is gay. Like Culliver, Harris isn't remotely a household name, and the two have another common bond. They both play/played for the 49ers. Harris is only four seasons removed from his playing days, and while it's possible that he became gay after retiring, it's also highly likely that the Niners had a closeted gay player in their locker room for five seasons. The same player who started 55 games on their offensive line.
And since he completely disregarded Lange's likely questions and prodding, we can also assume that Culliver doesn't possess the common sense to realize where he plays his home games.
San Francisco has a very proud gay and lesbian community. It's the city where this picture was taken…
The 49ers quickly issued a statement saying they have addressed the comments with Culliver, and they won't tolerate discrimination within their organization:
"The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made yesterday, and have addressed the matter with Chris. There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT community."
That's nice, and hopefully Culliver is in the minority. We're now in the fourth week of the year 2013, and back in 2006 Sports Illustrated took a poll that produced these results:
That reflects a survey of 357 NFL players, and while the 56.9 percent is swell, the 39.6 percent is still troubling. But these numbers are now seven years old, and the natural progress of societal views and values means they've surely improved considerably since then. Right?

Sal Patrillio (New York, New York) - Chevrolet Cavalier
A transmission question. When he starts the car in the morning, it won't go into gear until it warms up--worse when it's cold, sometimes takes 8-10 minutes. Mechanic says it's something 'minor' in the trasnsmission. Guys think tranny is cooked--clutches are gone, and it will get worse this Winter,. Can spend $1200 on transmission rebuild, or use a remote starter to warm car up so it'll work by the time he's ready to go.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Trixie Hound!
Facts about Trixie Hound
- Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
- ID#: Trixie Hound
Trixie Hound's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
I am a female Cairn Terrier mix. I am about 2 years old. I am spayed, heartworm negative, current on shots, micro-chipped and on flea/heartworm prevention. My adoption is $200.
I was rescued from animal control where I was impounded as a stray. I was adopted from the shelter to a family with kids. I was very scared and was nipping at them so they returned me.
I would do best in a home without children since I might nip if frightened or grabbed at.
Please email for an application. A New Beginning Pet Rescue, Inc. only accepts cash. We do not have the ability to accept credit or debit cards and no longer accept checks. The pets are available to be seen at our adoption events on weekends at the Petsmart in Altamonte Springs on Saturday from 11-5 and Sunday from 12-5.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Trixie Hound, a Orlando Treeing Walker Coonhound puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Treeing Walker Coonhound for sale in Orlando, or seeking a Treeing Walker Coonhound puppy from a breeder in Orlando.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Orlando already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Orlando breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Treeing Walker Coonhound breeders who help with Treeing Walker Coonhound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Orlando paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Scobey High class of 2006 "was kind of known as the class of over-achievers," Carrie Wilson says.
Last month, two of those over-achievers graduated from highly competitive U.S. military academies — her son, Robert Wilson, from West Point, and David Leibrand from the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Another member of the class has been accepted into a graduate program at Duke University, another is in ROTC at the University of North Dakota at Grand Forks, and still another is in pharmacy school.
Class of 20
Not bad for a graduating class of 20. Scobey, population about 900, is in the northeast corner of the state, in Daniels County.
Robert Wilson, known by his middle name, Tell, and David Leibrand are both 22 and have known each other almost all their lives. Wilson said nearly the entire class of 2006 had been going to school together since kindergarten.
The two men played football and ran track together in high school and remain friends.
Leibrand said he started thinking about attending an academy when he was a freshman in high school, and eventually he received a congressional recommendation from Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont. He also wanted to be a skydiver since he was a little kid.
At the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., he certainly achieved that goal. He was among 25 cadets — out of 250 applicants — chosen to join the Wings of Blue, the academy's parachute demonstration team.
"He has so loved it, just so loved it," said his mother, Karla Leibrand of Scobey.
His father, Curtis Leibrand, lives in Billings.
Once he joined the Wings of Blue, Leibrand set a goal of making 500 jumps, which would qualify him for a professional license and made him eligible to jump into football stadiums and other restricted venues.
Getting to his goal
To reach that goal, he often drove out to the airfield and jumped before breakfast, during his lunch hour or between classes. His record was 16 jumps in one day.
"I had to quit at 2 p.m.," he said. "I was too tired."
For his 21st birthday, with some help from his parents, he bought a $3,200 parachute and gear so he could make additional jumps on his own time. He has now made 585 jumps, and in early January he and three other members of the Wings of Blue jumped into the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., before the start of the BCS national championship game between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Texas Longhorns.
Leibrand was chosen to carry the BCS championship flag and landed to the cheers of 93,000 fans.
Except for a three-week trip to Europe with some friends, he plans to spend most of his 60-day break in Scobey. After that, he'll be attending Air Force flight school in Wichita Falls, Texas.
Carrie Wilson said her son has talked about joining the Army since he was a little boy, and then got serious about it in high school. For his high school research paper, he wrote about the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. His congressional recommendation came from Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont.
Tell's mother said his long involvement in 4-H probably helped him get into West Point because the Army puts a lot of emphasis on leadership skills. In high school, he won a state leadership award from 4-H.
He plans to spend his break working on the family ranch. In July he goes to Fort Knox, Ky., for armor officer basic training. His unit is scheduled to be deployed to Afghanistan early next year.
"It'll be a good challenge for me," he said. "You want to get the chance to exercise the skills and the leadership lessons" learned at West Point.
He said the best part of his West Point experience was meeting cadets from all over the country and, through exchange programs, from other countries as well.
"I've got a lot of real good, real close friends," he said.
The one thing he missed while he was at West Point was the wide-open spaces of Montana, he said. Carrie Wilson said there's a lot to cherish about a place like Scobey.
People in Billings might think of it as the end of the earth, she said, but in Scobey everyone takes care of everyone else.
Her youngest son, Chance, was supposed to graduate from high school on Saturday, May 22, the same day Tell was to graduate from West Point.
Carrie and her husband, DuWayne, really wanted to take Chance and their oldest son, Tyrel, to Tell's graduation because neither of them had been to West Point.
To accommodate them, Scobey High School moved graduation to May 23.

Last one, we swear! If you get Morgan fucking Freeman to read Rebecca Martinson's Delta Gamma sorority letter, you better believe we're going to post it. Okay, maybe it's not Morgan Freeman himself, but a Morgan Freeman sound-a-like named Josh Robert Thompson — and it's pretty damn convincing. This could change everything. Think about "Shawshank Redemption," for one. What if Morgan Freeman's character Red had been all, "ANDY! Don't be a cunt punt! Dig us out of prison!" How much better would that movie have been, really? [HyperVocal]

How The New York Times Tracks Twitter Secrets in 3D
For those of us that use Twitter, it's an often mysterious and intangible process that happens once we hit the "tweet" button and our 140 character expression is launched out to the web universe. What is the impact of a single tweet? Who hears our message and who shares it? Where does it travel once it has left our hands? These and other questions have been difficult to visualize, considering Twitters rather slippery nature… until now, when the New York Times R&D Lab has been perfecting a system they call Cascade.

Interfaith Advocate Involvement Opportunities
The Interfaith Advocate Team consists of several programmatic areas. Each area will be led by a student leader or two with a sub-committee to assist them in their goals for the year. Please read below to see what you might be interested in pursuing.
1. Social Media and Publicity (1 person with a sub-committee of 2-3 people)
Team Leader: This area has two main responsibilities: maintaining our social media platforms and publicity for our programs and events. We currently maintain a Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest account, but expansion of these is welcomed and encouraged. Writing blogs or recruiting other students to write reflections and reactions to events on campus, Chicago, the U.S., or the global communities is also a focus here.
Sub-Committee: The sub-committee for this area will assist the Team Leader in creating publicity, writing blogs, posting articles and other pertinent information on our websites.
2. Large Programs and Collaborations (2 people with a sub-committee of 4-6 people)
Team Leaders: This team will produce the major events that occur through our office and in collaboration with the various faith based student organizations. The primary events are International Day of Peace(September), Homecoming (October), Interfaith Retreat (January), and End of the Year Celebration (April). Other past collaborative events include: Rites of Passage, Interfaith Photobooth, and, Have Faith in Peace. The leaders for this team will set the vision/theme for each event.
Sub-Committee: The sub-committee will assist in the execution of these events by developing talks, researching prayers, creating small group activities, etc… As a Sub-Committee member, you are not expected to help plan every event.
3. Service Coordinator (1 person)
Team Leader: In collaboration with Community Service and Action, a small group of students will volunteer with XYZ organization (this is still to be determined). This leader is responsible for the reflection after the weekly volunteer experiences.
4. Small Group Facilitator (2 people)
Team Leaders: Each semester, this position will be coordinating a 4-6 part small group dialogue on the topic of their choosing. The goal is to engage students in reflection and conversation around a given topic and how that intersects with their faith journey. Past examples include the Dalai Lama's book on Interfaith Engagement, and Science and Faith. The size of the group may vary but a number around 10-12 students is ideal for small group dialogue.
5. Ally Training Coordinator (2 people)
Team Leaders: These students will facilitate our Interfaith Ally Training program. This program is a 4 part series that leads students in developing their identity, developing faith/non-faith awareness, understanding their privileges, and becoming an interfaith ally to those without privilege all through the lens of faith. This program will occur each semester.
Additional Responsibilities:
Team Leaders are also responsible for:
1. Attending a weekly meeting on Mondays at 5pm.
2. Holding 1 on 1 meetings with Brian Anderson on a weekly basis.
3. Hosting 1 event each semester for all of the members within the Interfaith Program focused on professional development.
4. Supporting All Interfaith Programs.
5. Attending larger Campus Ministry Events.
Sub-Committee Members are also responsible for:
1. Attending meetings with their team leader.
2. Supporting other Interfaith programs when possible.
3. Supporting broader Campus Ministry Events.
*Contact Brian Anderson with questions at firstname.lastname@example.com or (773)-508-2197

Derth | |
Guardian | None |
Floors | 1 |
Level Range | 1 to 15 |
Item Level Range | 1 to 2 |
Size | 196x80 |
Zone Information
The town of Derth is located in the north central region of Maj'Eyal. It is populated primarily by Halflings and Humans.
Derth has several stores:
- Armoury (heavy armor)
- Tanner (light armor)
- Swordsmith (swords)
- Knives and daggers (daggers)
- Death from Afar (ranged weapons)
- Herbalist (infusions)
- Jewelry (gems)
- Stire the Alchemist
Store inventories are generated for level 8 at character birth, level 25 after The Master, and level 40 after Charred Scar.
This sleepy hamlet sports two quests: a shady Cornac in the northeast will invite characters to fight in the Arena. He will leave town when you reach level 13.
When your character reaches level 14, Derth will undergo a magical siege by lightning elementals. The open layout of the town makes this quest extremely dangerous for the unprepared. In the absence of high lightning resistance, fabulous mobility, or a simply powerful charcter, you may wish to postpone this until a later level. (The quest becomes unavailable after level 20(?), however.)
If the elementals are defeated, the cloud of darkness and lightning will remain. In order to dispel this, the character must complete the second half of this quest, by defeating Urkis on Tempest Peak. Tempest Peak is inaccessible without help -- either from Linaniil in Angolwen, or from the leader of Zigur.
Northeast of Derth is the Trollmire, the starting zone for most races. Northwest of Derth is the ruined tower of Kor'Pul, a failed necromancer who is said to haunt his former demesne.

If Miley Cyrus ever wants to release a sex tape and have anyone be at all shocked about it, she better do that soon, because at the rate she's going, there won't be any body parts of hers that we haven't seen for much longer.
As you probably know, controversial photographer Terry Richardson filmed her naked-y 'Wrecking Ball' video. And once I'd seen it in all its sledgehammer-licking glory, I thought I'd encountered the worst of it. "Well, full nudity," I thought to myself, "she can't get much shocking than that, so I guess I'm relieved. I guess that's what this vague nausea in the pit of my stomach is." In fairness, it may also have been compassion for a young girl who I think is being heavily pressured to exploit her sexuality, but who knows. If you accuse me of having empathy today, I'll just deny it tomorrow.
But that footage and the photos from that shoot weren't the last of it, sadly. Terry just released a bunch of new photos, and the only word I really have for them is 'heartbreaking'. (Seriously. I feel nauseated now, having seen them. This is the full collection, but click at your own discretion.) In them, she shows her boobs, her butt, her labia majora, and a catalogue of utterly disturbing facial expressions while 'Uncle Terry' dutifully documents it all.
I just like…I know you guys have an issue with me going after Miley so hard when I don't for other artists that you find just as provocative, but I really feel like she's a special case. It's not appropriate for an older man to see those parts of her body, no matter who is initiating the contact. It's not sensual or provocative or enticing, it's just…sex. We're just looking at intimate parts of her body and knowing that it's through the eyes of a pervy older dude. It doesn't make me feel good at all, and the look on her face just makes it worse, because I don't know that she knows how to stop it.
I hope that I'm wrong, but these aren't the kinds of photos you take of someone to advance their career. They're the kinds of photos that you take of someone right before you have sex with them. I just like…I don't know. I don't know what she's thinking right now. I just hope she's okay.

The new Barska 3-12x40 AO .17 Hot Magnum Riflescope AC10848 brings a lot to the world of riflescopes. Engineered with the revolutionary bullet-drop technology, these barska riflescopes are guaranteed to make you an extreme perfromer when it comes to the .17 Magnum Rinfire shooting. The Barska revolutionary Bullet Drop Technology makes the Barska 3-12 x 40mm AO .17 Hot Magnum Riflescope's elevation knob precisely calculated to compensate for the elliptical drop of the .17 Magnum Rimfire with a 17 grain bullet. Once you complete the zeroing process at 100yards , all you have to do is match the elevation turret indicator with 100yds marking on the knob. From this point, your trajectory can be compensated for any yards from 100 up to 300 yards simply by turning the elevation knob to the desired setting.

Carbon Offset Watch's scoring awarded points in the categories below. The ratings table shows the results.
The contribution to long-term sustainability of the type of projects used for offsets was assessed. Points were awarded to projects that change or prevent the underlying activities that create GHGs. Energy efficiency, renewable energy and the diversion of waste from landfill were awarded points. Projects that prevent deforestation would have got points too, but no Carbon Offset Watch participants sold that type of offset. Methane flaring, afforestation and reforestation projects were not awarded points.
This looked at whether retailers encouraged customers to reduce their emissions before buying offsets, provide sufficient information and accurately estimate the customer's carbon footprint.
By far the biggest factor in determining retailers' scores was the accreditation or certification scheme their offsets comply with. Carbon Offset Watch evaluated and ranked the schemes, taking into account:
For a detailed explanation of how the schemes were ranked, go to Carbon Offset Watch
As part of the research for Carbon Offset Watch, we checked the emissions calculated by retailers' websites for one passenger's return flights from Sydney to Melbourne, and Sydney to London. There's no standard or consensus for the most accurate ways to estimate customer carbon emissions; the results were compared with two benchmark calculators to illustrate the range. We found that retailers' calculators differed from the benchmarks by up to 80%. That is, some retailers' websites, which consumers are using to estimate their carbon footprint and the amount of offsets they purchase, are giving estimates that vary greatly from the benchmarks used. Most calculators underestimate, perhaps because they don't factor the full lifecycle emissions (which take into account all emissions involved in the plane's manufacture, not just its fuel use).
