I will now describe what is behind the big Texas State Archive warehouses on Shoal Creek (4400 Shoal Creek, in Austin.) If you walk around to the back on the north side, you will come eventually to the creek. Looking south, you will see some downspouts which have dumped the rainwater from the tops of the warehouses out to the creek. Now, they also, daily, dump the dew that gathers on the top of the warehouses. Someone planted fig trees in front of some of the downspouts, and some are now five feet tall and bushy, with figs on them.
Fig trees are not hard to get (Get Permission From The Owner! I have permission, but I don't want any tree nabbing done after reading this) in fact quite often you can nab water sprouts from underneath the tree, just yanking them or digging down to cut them where they have roots. Then you put them in a bucket and go plant them in a spot that will get water (and apparently under a warehouse downspout is just perfect. These have NOT been watered at all by any person, just by the daily dew from the metal roof). So that is a way to plant, not just seeds, but fruit trees. A mulberry is also in one of the downspouts, it may be a seedling but it is doing just as well as the planted figs. Rocks around the base of the trees make sure the mowers stay away-the same person who planted them put old cotton and linen fabric around them as a mulch so the weeds were down. Otherwise the mowers would have gotten them. Just a little idea, in case any of you have big ugly warehouses nearby with lonely downspouts and a desire for figs. |

Extreme Ultralite Backpacking Towel
Ultralite Mini 19" x 19": $16.95 USD
Ultralite 34" x 28": $24.95 USD
Ultralite Large 34" x 58": $39.95 USD
Our "EXTREME" ULTRA LIGHT backpacking towel is a must-have for serious backpackers. Featured in BACKPACKER magazine's most recent "Essential Gear Guide", you know it must be good!
The Extreme Ultralight is 34" x 28" and weighs under 3 ounces, so you can still carry a towel large enough for swimming or bathing! These pack into very small spaces.
If you are one of those "crazy" minimalists, we make an even smaller version below. Weighing approx. 1.3 oz, it's approx. 19" square, and serves as towel, neck, or headgear. We've been told you can even strain your camp-coffee through it. Now that's versatile!
NEW....NEW...NEW... We are now offering our Extreme Ultralite, in a larger size. Now you can get a full-size 34" x 58" large Extreme towel, as well as the regular 34" x 28" regular and 19" x 19" mini, in our best-selling silky extreme fabric. Olive Brown, Red, and Royal Blue!
We are often asked how much space our towels take up. We can offer the following comparisons, however keep in mind that even when you know the dimensions you can squish them down much smaller! There is not a lot of difference in volume, although the Extreme takes a bit less...but there is significant difference in weight between Ultra Fast-Dry and Extreme Ultralite styles.
58" x 34" (Our largest size) Ultra Fast-Dry 7"x3"x3" Extreme Ultralite 7"x2.5"x2.5" (approx. 288 grams vs. approx. 162 grams for Extreme)
34" x 28" (Typical Backpackers choice) Ultra Fast-Dry 7"x2.5"x2.5" Extreme Utralite 7"x2"x2" (approx. 139 grams vs. approx. 98 grams or less for Extreme)
Please Note: If you select a size and a color choice does NOT come up, that simply means we are out of that size. Please keep checking back as stock changes daily.

Huh. Jinx seem to have some pretty cool (if you're a geek) stuff. I should probably order something some time. I was pissed they never made a Silvermoon sports team T-shirt like they did for other races, like the Darnassian Sabres or something. That range is so cool!
It is and the latest season has been the best one in a while.

This secrétaire is designed in a rigidly architectonic style composed of classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and a cupola. The panel in the midsection lowers to reveal drawers and pigeonholes designed as small rooms, with parquetry walls and floors in many different naturally colored woods. Concealed above the fall front is a reading stand; below are drawers that can be rotated outwards. The interior of the secrétaire where the wood has been protected from daylight is pale yellow. This means that the cabinet has darkened considerably over time; with its pale wood veneer, white marble plaques, and gilding, it would have seemed much less somber. The secrétaire once had a large musical movement inside its base, which played a tune when the clock struck the hour.

I received a cutting of a white brug at the swap. It was already a bit limp. I was told to remove the bottom leaves and just put it in a pot with moist soil. The top is so limp and hasn't perked up at all. I did the rooting hormone thing and put the pot in a plastic bag to try to keep it moist. Should I chop off the limp top and hope to get a plant from the stem? I'd never even heard of "Brugs" until finding this site and they look lovely. I hope to keep this one alive. Advice would be appreciated!! Chickenmom (Debby) |

I had never heard of them either. They seem to have quite a following though. You may want to ask the people on the Brug board as well. |
Try misting it. Give it a few days and then if the top starts to turn brown just cut off what looks like it is dying. Do not give up on it as long as you have green stem. I have had them to droop for several days before starting to perk up. They usually root so easily that I do not even use rooting hormone. Misting really helps. Patsy |
- Posted by element321 8 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 4, 08 at 2:26
mine are doing the same thing. If they are sitting water they should be fine. Carrie says they are easy to root w/ water. They are survivors. |
- Posted by chickenmom (My Page) on Tue, Dec 23, 08 at 21:02
My brug cutting just kept looking worse and worse. It was down to a brown hollow stick in the pot of soil. Tonight I decided to give it up for dead, but, just in case, carefully excavated the soil around the stick instead of just pulling it up. The very bottom of the stick still looks a little green and has some white lumps where the rooting hormone had been. So, I've now stuck it in water and will see if it arises from the dead. If so, it could definitely be classed a survivor! If not, I hope to beg another cutting at the spring swap! |
- Posted by chickenmom (My Page) on Thu, Jan 1, 09 at 23:12
Nooooooo! It died. And I was so hoping to get a real, live plant out of it! |
Debby, did you get that one from me? If so I will give you another one. All the ones that I gave away were already rooted and just needed to be watered, but hey, sometimes you lose one. I got one that was a tiny little stem only 4" long and about as big as a pencil lead and it died. The ones that I was swapping were 12+ inches long and about the circumfrence of my thumb. Cheryl |

Belgian Slant…
As 'travelled' as I am, until this weekend, I'd never, ever, been to Belgium. And the closest I'd got to Holland was a stopover at Schiphol Airport. So I decided to do something about it and get myself over to both countries and see a couple of cyclocross races. I've been to a number of UK 'cross races recently and it would be interesting to see how it's done in other countries.
Luckily, my pal Stanny is a walking encyclopaedia of cyclocross lore and he picked a weekend in January when we could see a Division Two race in Belgium on the Saturday and the last World Cup round on the Sunday. He even offered to drive. All I needed to do was hook us up with some deluxe accommodation courtesy of my friend Jeff in Antwerp.
We got the 6am Dover ferry and drove to Zonnebeke in Belgium for the 'local' race. Obviously it was far from it, with some of the world's best racers there. They'll have doubtless been 'encouraged' by the promoter to turn up, but it was a good test of legs and bikes before the big race on the Sunday.
The juniors and U23 racers went off with some encouragement, though most of the crowd didn't turn up until the main event at 3pm. I'd hate to be a cyclocross photographer as the big races appear to be held when it's getting dark, on an already grey afternoon in the winter… The crowd filled out for the big race and Sven Nys pleased all by riding away from the pack and staying there. It was interesting to see the crowd dynamics as, unlike US racing – or unlike the hype – there wasn't a single cowbell run and most of the race was passed with a passive 'Impress me…' silence from the crowd.
Sunday's race gave another good idea of how big the racing scene is in Holland (we were just over the border from Belgium). The top riders arrive in their liveried motorhomes (the best riders in the biggest motorhomes) and the various supporters clubs start filling the bar and, eventually the course. The whole town centre shuts down for the weekend and the course is near enough lined two deep for the whole ten minute lap. Everywhere there are chip and donut stands, as well as beer in large amounts. The beer tent probably held over a thousand people. Once again, a passive silence from the crowd for the most part, apart from when a local rider appeared or the leaders start clashing in the final couple of laps.
And then, suddenly, it's over and people start drifting away. The faithful gather round the motorhomes, watching the mechanics cleaning bikes, packing wheels away in fleece cosies and jetwashing skinsuits, ready for next weekend's World Championships in the Czech Republic. Talking of which, they're just announcing that the 2013 Cyclocross Worlds will take place for the first time in the USA… (Kentucky to be precise). Good stuff.
Here's the final lap. Check out the 'You're going to let me come second, you're going to be third' signal at his teammate at about 6min40…

Are Antioxidants Worth the Hype?
By: Ahmed Abdullah, MD
Posted: October 27, 2010, from the November 2010 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 4 of 8
Use effective topical antioxidant formulations. Research has shown that combining oral antioxidant supplements with topical antioxidant formulations is beneficial to ensuring the optimal protection of skin from photoaging and oxidative stress.16, 17 However, it's important that the antioxidant skin care products you make available to your clients utilize formulations that optimize the delivery of antioxidants to the skin. Therefore, ensure that the product is formulated with a base that can be absorbed by the skin. If the base ingredient is water, for example, the ability of the product to take the antioxidants to the deeper layers of the skin is compromised since skin cannot absorb water. The delivery system is also important to ensuring the stability of the antioxidant in the finished formulation.
Prevent future damage
Regardless of the protocol that is utilized, it's essential to be realistic about what can be expected from antioxidants. Skin damage that has already occurred is irreversible. Antioxidants are incapable of affecting existing wrinkles; their real benefit is in preventing future damage. It's also important to take factors, such as ORAC values, with a grain of salt. After all, performance in a test tube means nothing really, unless the same benefits can be achieved when a food or product is ingested or placed on the skin.
There's very promising research relative to antioxidants but, rather than putting a great deal of energy into optimizing antioxidant intake via outside sources, simply living a healthy lifestyle can be the very best medicine.

The article highlights the story of 9 older women who bake pound cakes at 4 in the morning, either in their own kitchens or the restaurant of one of the women's sons, and deliver the cakes to people in their community who they hear are experiencing a hardship. Did I mention they do all of this anonymously? Wow. The women hadn't even told their husbands, until they finally had to reveal their secret upon being asked about some of their bank statements. Once told, the husbands thought it was a great plan and decided they wanted to help as much as they could! Eventually their children were informed of the project and proposed the idea that the Nanas sell their pound cakes online to raise money in order to help more people.
Since starting the online business, the 9 Nanas are more successful than ever, even having been chosen to have their pound cakes in the "coveted swag bags" at the 69th Golden Globes Awards, the 18th Annual S.A.G. Awards®, and the Grammy Awards®! Yet even with all the publicity they've been getting, these 9 amazing women are still working their magic anonymously. "Sometimes they just pull out the phone book and send off pound cakes to complete strangers. And if the Nanas spot someone at the grocery store who appears to need a little help, it's not unusual for them to start filling a stranger's cart."
Rambam in his "Laws of Gifts to the Poor", states that a very high level of giving tzedakah can be achieved by giving to someone anonymously so that they will not know from whom they received their donation. These women do just that in choosing to remain anonymous and gladly share happiness with as many people as possible. This article has truly inspired me to think about what more I can do for my community and how I can utilize my own resources to give to those who are aching for something more (food, shelter, inspiration, etc). We can all use our gifts and our excitement to help our neighbors in order to create some lasting goodness. Let's never underestimate the power of a good idea, and of the happiness that can follow for everyone involved. <3

Original post at http://suewhitt.blogspot.com/2013/02/praising-god-reflection-on-psalm-99.html
In preparing this week for Transfiguration Sunday, we read Luke's account which includes images of mountain, cloud, voice, changed appearance, and Moses is there. We see these themes in the reading from Exodus (although the cloud is missing and the people do not hear the voice directly).
The lectionary response to the reading from Exodus is Psalm 99. This psalm puts into words for us what it is like to be in the presence of the Lord. (Note that the psalm includes Moses, cloud, and mountain).
And it describes for us what the Lord is like.
It begins by stating that the Lord is king. Now, as an American I have trouble thinking of king as a good word. But, I haven't been able to come up with a contemporary parallel that fits the essence of what the word king meant at the time the psalms were first sung.
That is although I am unwilling to accept the notion that any human is exalted over all people, I am ready to proclaim that, certainly, the Lord is.
The God we worship loves justice, has established equity and righteousness. A reminder that we should favor equity and righteousness ourselves.
The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and Samuel from a pillar of cloud, and they did what the Lord wanted them to do.
And when they didn't, the Lord our God forgave them.
John Hayes, in Preaching through the Christian Year C, points out that the phrase translated in the NRSV as "but an avenger of their wrongdoing" appears as "forgave all their misdeeds and held them innocent" in the NEB, and as "exacted retribution for their misdeeds" in the NJPSV.

Hehe, Sinclair.
I'm not even taking much pleasure from this. Idiotic batting from CD.
Noema to restore credibility.
Who saw Singh's interview on Cricket Company. (Bhupinder that is) he said he was working on a doosra but admitted that he needed to throw the ball. I hope he develops it anyway. He has 15 degrees to work with.
Van Wyk needs to hit 4 or 5 quick boundaries and hope for a miracle by the remaining batsman. He can't just push it around any more.

« November 2007 Table of Contents
If you want to sell more seafood, put a chef behind the counter. When Rex Bellomy, owner of Rex's Seafood Market in North Dallas, opened his shop in early 2006, he hired Jeff Rockow as executive chef and fishmonger. Nearly two years later, the shop is thriving. New customers are popping in and trying the fish on the recommendation of local chefs and the cooking school at Sur La Table, an upscale kitchenware retailer.
And when they do, Rockow is ready with more tips and seafood know-how to make sure they'll return.
Rex's product selection and customer service are all reasons chefs at Sur La Table's cooking school recommend the shop to about 100 cooking-class students each week, says Olivia Torres, the store's manager. Rockow has taught a sushi class at the store since summer 2006. He teaches seafood cooking classes at Rex's and at the Viking Culinary Arts Center in Dallas.
"There is strong demand in Dallas for seafood education," says Rockow. "Having somebody who's knowledgeable about how to prepare fish and be able to convey that to a customer who comes in and make them be successful helps us with our business," he says. "Especially when they're paying $20 per pound for fish. They don't want to mess it up."
Smart seafood retailers know a chef's recommendation carries a lot of weight with consumers, especially the foodies who cook for pleasure and will spend the extra bucks on a somewhat pricey protein like seafood.
"Having food professionals endorse where they buy their fish or the types of fish you carry can be nothing but a positive influence on seafood," says Howard Solganik, a supermarket fresh-foods consultant and head of Culinary Resources in Dayton, Ohio.
A chef's help in selling seafood - whether it be a chef recommendation from a cooking school, a chef on staff or a guest chef demonstrating seafood cookery in the store - conveys credibility to consumers. But to earn that recommendation, a seafood department must be pristinely clean, offer a variety of quality products and solid customer service, and have the know-how to answer customers' seafood questions. That takes a significant investment and a specialty-retail mentality, Solganik warns.
"How do you get the consumer to see you as that food authority? What does it take? It's not just low prices, it takes a combination of ingredients to become a food authority," he says. "One of the ingredients is working with chefs, teaching about food, having knowledgeable people in the departments and having good information in the stores."
In addition to having a chef-spokesman like Rockow reaching out to foodies, specialty retailers partner with chefs by sponsoring cooking schools or offering a discount to cooking school students. Supreme Lobster & Seafood Co. in Villa Park, Ill., for example, gives a 10 percent retail discount to members of Cooking with the Best Chefs, a Chicago club of 1,500 food enthusiasts that holds cooking classes and organizes restaurant tours and special gourmet events.
Such relationships pay off. About 5 percent of sales at the Atlanta Fish Market, a retail fishmonger and restaurant, come from the recommendation of the cooking school at the Viking Store, estimates Ian Bailey, manager of the Atlanta Fish Market retail store. That perk began with proximity. The Atlanta Fish Market is a few miles from the Viking store and the chefs there started shopping the market for their classes, says Bailey.
Peter Rubin, director of Viking's cooking school, considers the shop to be the finest in Atlanta that sells to the public because of its quality, cleanliness and knowledgeable staff. He also recommends Whole Foods, which helps sponsor the cooking school. Between its classes on sustainable seafood and fish mastery, both for beginners and advanced cooks, and the seafood recipes it demonstrates in other classes, Viking teaches consumers about seafood at least every other day and sometimes daily, says Rubin.
Seafood specialty shops aren't the only retailers using chefs to reach new customers. According to the Food Marketing Institute's Speaks 2007 report, shoppers who enjoy meal preparation are "dream shoppers" for retailers. "They cook more, shop more and spend more, especially at their primary store," says the report. One-third of grocery stores offers cooking classes and about 40 percent set aside space for cooking demos. These services, says FMI, may help retailers increase the number of customers who enjoy shopping for and preparing home-cooked meals, "creating a loyal, high-spending following."
King's Supermarkets in New Jersey, Wegmans in the Northeast, Ukrops in the Southeast, Andronico's in California and Dorothy Lane Market in Dayton, Ohio, all have great reputations for effectively using chefs and cooking classes to build excitement and credibility. Giant Foods' new Market District stores also have chefs on staff and host celebrity chefs.
"There are definitely chains around that have built [the chef component] into how to create differentiation," says Steve Lutz, executive VP of the Perishables Group in Chicago. But getting chefs on board doesn't make sense for every retailer, says Lutz.
"Retailers basically are structuring products and merchandising around what's of value to their customers," says Lutz. "If the customer base is focused on price and price is the most important thing, the retailer does everything possible to deliver price to consumers, which means cutting out those extra services."
The flip side is true as well, adds Lutz. If the customer base seeks new flavors and products and price is secondary, delivering value means introducing new flavors and new ingredients. And food pros like chefs are often in the best position to dazzle consumers with flavor, ingredients and know-how.

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 Zabu!
Facts about Zabu
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Zabu's Info...
I am already neutered, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Zabu is a healthy FIV+ boy of six who thinks he's still a kitten. He is very affectionate, talkative and oh so handsome. He's come a long way since he arrived at TLC. Now purrfectly ready for his very own loving, indoor home.
Other Pets at The Little Cats' Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Zabu, a Elfers Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Elfers, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Elfers.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Elfers 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 Elfers 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Elfers paves the way for another one to be saved.

Yes, I know the title sounds like your average nationalistic American, but just give me a second to explain my thoughts. This is my first time traveling out of the country so its a completely new experience for me, living in Spain. I found my mind instinctively processing all the new data that was entered from the moment I stepped off the plane in a comparative manner. Everything I saw, smelled, tasted and heard went under one of two categories: "Similar" or "Dissimilar". The hardest part about this organization of data is the constant desire to switch the titles to either "Best" and "Worse" or "My Way" and "the Highway". I've found it to be so easy to simply use these easy labels for all of my new experiences, thus eliminating all the hassle of having to analyze my own traditions and cultures. The boxes are nice, clean and consist of merely black and white. But I don't think that's the point of studying abroad, or world travel in general. Yes, I'm used to doing things a certain way. Yes it is a bit jarring to see large, Spanish women sun-bathing topless on the beach, and yes it is a little confusing when only certain streets have street signs posted on them (and in the most obscure places). But I have to think to myself, "If this has worked for them for so many years, there might be some merit to it".
Perspective. In this game its all about keeping perspective, striving to look beyond the initial differences and into new and exciting avenues of thoughts and ideas. For example, I can choose to focus on the high level of humidity of coastal Spain and all the long nights spent lying on soaking wet sheets trying to sleep through the heat, dreaming about Bozeman's beautiful white wintery days, or I can look at the Spanish palm trees and the sun and remember that while all my homeys in Montana are piling on 10 layers of clothes trying to keep their noses from freezing off, I'll be cheerfully skipping (or riding my bike) to school wearing my chacos, shorts and sunglasses. Ahhh, perspective! So the next time you are granted the opportunity to travel abroad in another culture (like Spain), maybe instead of thinking of how many bacteria were spread to your face after the traditional double cheek kiss you can look forward to the next time you are introduced to a beautiful senorita. Ah yes, perspective.

There's an entire summer ahead for reflection on how the Chicago dominated the NHL as a whole this year and still found a way to win the Stanley Cup in surprising fashion, so today we'll focus on Game 6 specifically, and how the Blackhawks snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, and defeat was like "The hell man? I was gonna eat that."
I'll get to the fluffier stuff at the bottom, but first, the hockey thoughts.
10 Takeaways
1. Top-end talent
The Boston Bruins have ample amounts of talent, there's not really much point denying that. You don't do what they've done over the past few years without it. But there's also no denying that they are, and have always been, light on elite offensive talent. That doesn't make them any less of a great team – they've always prided themselves on succeeding as a true "team" – but there were times in last night's contest, particularly in the first, when the Bruins dominated the play but couldn't quiiite seem to make That Play.
In particular, I thought they had trouble making "spring your teammate" break-in passes. There were a number of occasions when the B's had a guy who'd beat his check back to the Hawks net to be in all alone, and the guy with the puck couldn't find a way to get it to him. Good D, yes, but at some point you have to find a way to get that puck across. You only get so many opportunities.
2. It's Tyler's time
This relates to the above point somewhat, but the expectation has been that At Some Point, Tyler Seguin would be an elite offensive NHL talent. There's no denying that he's a noticeably talented player. He's bought in to the Bruins system, accepted a role as a two-way forward (tough to argue with success I suppose), and found himself helping whichever line he was on…all without actually putting the biscuit in the basket.
Here's the thing: that happy fun time of growth has to be over for him. Taylor Hall, his fellow stud from the 2010 draft and inevitable lifelong comparable finished the season 9th in NHL scoring with 50 points in 45 games (Seguin had 32 in 48).
Does Seguin have that kind of high-end output in him? It's time to find out. I thought he was one of the Bruins' best forwards last night if not the best. Next year he should be playing on the top line line and PP and given the chance to be that piece they need.
(Oh, by the way: I wrote here, point nine, about Tyler Seguin and his sticks in Game 1. I think I figured it out: he cuts them too long. One inch less and he'd be able to better gather a handle on the puck and quite wasting opportunities by fumbling the damn thing.)
3. Fear and Respect
I have a lot of both for Blackhawks' captain Jonathan Toews. Some people, from birth, have a singular focus. They're going to be the best hockey player they feasibly can, they are going to lead, and gosh darnit, they're going to win a Stanley Cup. This is Toews to a T, and while obviously admirable, I can't help but feel a little concerned for his brain situation.
Last night his coach Joel Quenneville admitted he'd "had his bell rung" in Game 5, which is the most adorable euphemism for "had his brain bruised" ever. He didn't play the third, and he shouldn't have played the next game.
THAT SAID…I played sports for long enough to know how often I put my health on the line when I shouldn't have, and we're talking Game 6 of the Cup Final with the chance to actually hoist the thing, and you're the captain. If there's any way you can play, you do. Who cares if the next month or two is spent in a dark room (you might, person at home, but I assure you it's worth it to him). Athlete to athlete, much respect for suiting up and playing what his coach called a "monster game."
But human-to-human, there's still the fear thing…knowing what we know, and watching him play last night…it just felt gross at times. He took solid, hard shots on a minimum of three occasions, possibly more, and I winced for him every time. I wonder if having two Cups under his belt will encourage him to be more cautious in the future. We certainly don't need more Marc Savard-like situations.
How ridiculously good was Corey Crawford last night? As you've likely heard many times, the shots attempts in the first period were 32-8 for Boston last night. I believe Jim Corsi would recognize that as one seriously busy period for a goaltender.
But for all the questions people, including myself, have had about the guy, he looked utterly confident and composed, and has hopefully now earned himself a pass from general questions marks in the future. I know he has from me.
5. Lack of rhythm
I thought the Bruins Game 6 downfall wasn't about lapses in focus or effort or anything like that, but the fact that the rhythm of the game was extremely difficult on their goaltender.
Coming off the first period Tuukka Rask only had to deal with a half-dozen shots. Then there was an intermission. Then there was a Bruins powerplay.
It's not a new theory about overtime hockey that the team that dominates ends up losing. One goalie sees a bevy of shots, stays active, stays in the game, then…boom, one chance the other way, a goal, game over.
I thought something similar happened to Rask on the Toews' goal, and I thought that the B's pressing so much in the third to finally get the go-ahead goal left him in the same position in the final minutes. He hadn't really been subjected to many flurries, so when they finally came, it was tough for him.
6. Nobody is invincible
We often marvel at feats of athletic endurance, from marathon runners to our own sport, where holy hell, did you see how long Duncan Keith played last night? The only person who played more minutes than Keith in playoffs was Zdeno Chara, who is likely the best shut-down defenseman in the NHL, and he happens to have offensive upside. He's an amazing player.
But, as has been widely reported, he was on the ice for 9 of the last 10 Blackhawks goals scored, and at times looked like he was using rollerblades instead of metal-edged skates.
During a Game 6 intermission Elliotte Friedman talked a bit on CBC about Chara's declining ice time over the course of playoffs, which tells us a story: the Bruins knew. Chara is 36 years old and wasn't asked to just play big minutes, he was asked to play them against Crosby and Kessel and Nash and Toews and all the rest of the stars. His skating seemed to vastly deteriorate by the middle of the round four. He didn't have the energy to play as angry, or to even keep himself up after receiving big hits.
Chara deserves all the credit in the world for helping the B's get to the Final, but he had been through too much along the journey to actually drop the ring into fires of Mount Doom.
7. Uncle on the PP 1-T
Kelly Hrudey spent a few sentences last night discussing the Bruins' commitment to the powerplay one-timer, which is a relatively successful play, but goddamn, if you lean on it too much it renders it useless. I can think of one play where Brad Marchand got the puck below the goal line and took it hard to the crease for Boston. The rest of the time it was just D-men drifting out wide and scraping the ceiling for the World's Least Surprising Slapshot.
If you're going to take that shot, the d-men should move the puck back and forth a couple times quick, and stay within the face-off dots so they're not shooting fade-aways from left field, if you'll permit me to mix the sh*t out of my metaphors. But they also need to mix in some low plays and looks through the middle, otherwise you saw what happens – harmless shots that barely threaten the net.
8. Kane Smythe Trophy
I can handle the Patrick Kane Conn Smythe win given that there was no clear cut favourite, and he played his best when the games mattered most. When Toews was on lockdown heading toward lifting the Cup, Kane scored seven times in the final eight games to help the Hawks over the hump. My only question is…
What the hell are you supposed to do with that thing once given it? I don't mean down the road, I mean like, immediately after you take it. I saw him receive the trophy from Bettman and skate away, buuut, then what? It looks like one awfully cumbersome object, and he skates back to the team who's all preoccupied with something else (like having won the Cup) and he's just like… "Welp, I guess I'll just hold onto this."
I'm sure someone takes it for him or something, it was just kinda funny. Just Kane holding a trophy as big as him, giving people chin up "what up" head nods.
9. Speaking of celebrations
Would there be a single member of the media upset if the League or teams or players or whatever said "Hey, it's going to be harder to get your pictures, the guys are going to skate around with the trophy as a team like the golden olden days?" I know it's not that simple. There are wires and cameras and families and people have different agendas during their finest hour, it's just a bit of a shame to me watching a player get the Stanley Cup, then skate it out into oblivion by himself and yell "woo-ee" or whatever.
I know it's not practical. I just miss the team laps.
Oh, and I should also mention: much love to Bruins fans last night.
I found them extremely respectful, as much as you can be after losing the Cup at home in such shocking manner. They booed Bettman as the hockey world expected of them, they gave the Bruins a "Let's Go Bruins" end-of-game chant, and treated the Blackhawks well. Good show all around.
And how did we get there…
10. What a finish
"At worst, this is going to overtime."
In my line of work, more hockey is a good thing. I wanted Game 7, so I was rooting for Boston. When Lucic scored with under eight minutes to go in the game, I figured at worst, they'd get their shot in OT. At best, they'd can an empty-netter. And then…that.
That, by the way, was amazing. Two goals in the final 76 seconds, that came 17 seconds apart, one with the goalie pulled. I can't imagine being on the Bruins bench, not playing those shifts, and watching Game 7 ripped from you when it was entirely out of your control. But somebody has to win, and somebody has to lose, and last night provided both sides with the extreme versions of both related emotions.
For a lockout shortened season, 2013 offered some awfully good hockey. That was a lot of fun, wasn't it?

Some questions after few hours of playing…

2. - Another question I have is when the order to resolve the fighting. For rules says that the dice are thrown all at once, but then one chooses to perform before movements with those rolls? for example, there is a shield that can win one of defense, and spiders have different increments, to assign +1 damage or poisoning. Who decides before their actions?
The order of combat is given in the rukes :
- Declare weapon and target
- Roll dice (attacker's and defender's)
- Check range (if non melee weapon)
- Spend surges
- Deal damage
So, in the case of spiders, they decide after all the dice were rolled.
I am not sure, but I think that in the case of an attack that affects more than one target, the attacker decides, after all individual target rolls were made, what use he makes of his surges - but must use the same surge effects for all his attacks.
Many thanks for all your answers!
Responses 1 and 3 are perfect , but the truth is that I still have a lot of doubts about question 2…
What if the hero can re-roll a dice? and if the overlord may also do a re-roll? who decides before? and if the hero wants to add a shield? and if the OL can play a card that adds an increase?
I think there are many skills, cards and powers interacting in combat, and I have nothing clear who starts deciding their actions as the fight continues…
P.S.: Sorry for my googled english…
Posted 05 November 2012 - 10:02 AM
I do have the same questions…
We play that, if an attacker can reroll dice (cf. Widow Tahra's skill) he does it before the defender does.
Don't worry for your English - it is not my first language either (but it was the first one I spoke, from a chronological point of view), I speak and write French much better.
Posted 05 November 2012 - 10:41 PM
In my experience it all doesn't matter who will decide to re-roll first as long as you give time to other side to make his/hers decisions in response to your re-roll.
Technically re-rolls should happen at the same time (just as the original attack & defence rolls) but we all know it is not feasible.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 02:18 AM
so… nobody knows the official answer?
Posted 06 November 2012 - 03:21 AM
i thought I remember reading in the rules somewhere, that if there are any instances of things occurring simultaneously, then the player who's turn it is gets to decide the order they are resolved.
So if the ol attacks a hero with a shield, he can have the player resolve his shield use before he plays any "after attack roll" cards or spends surges. That's how we play it at least, though in practice I often forget what heroes have after attack roll abilities and often declare surges and play cards before them.

Indeed, you did. It's one the "Golden Rules" on page 18:
"Timing conflicts may arise when two or more players
wish to use an ability with the same triggering
condition. In these situations, the current player (the
player who is currently taking his turn) decides the
order in which the abilities are resolved."
Disclaimer: I have a working hypothesis that anything a player is able to do in the game qualifies as an ability. FFG was unfortunately vague about what exactly constitutes "an ability" in the rulebook. (I know there are some picky players out there who like to argue that this or that is not "an ability" in order to get around ability-related restrictions. Those players can figure out timing conflicts for dice rolls on their own time.)

hmm. so if i am a runemaster using arcane bolt, and exploding rune which is a flip for blast ability, and i roll a surge you are saying that i am going to be able to use pierce 2 on my target and every adjacent monster. seems almost OP.

What would you do in that case?
Not apply Pierce to the blast effect if you have a surge?
What other surge effects would you not apply?

hmm. so if i am a runemaster using arcane bolt, and exploding rune which is a flip for blast ability, and i roll a surge you are saying that i am going to be able to use pierce 2 on my target and every adjacent monster. seems almost OP.
Why is the OL, knowing Exploding Rune is in play, putting his monsters where blast can affect more than one? Stupid OL =/= OP skill.

Robin, don't know, maybe only apply the pierce so it takes off the first shields and then assume the blast has a reduced effect on the remaining mobs.
D, ageed. the ol was playing it a bit to liberal and got the fat gob and the gob henchmen all toasted. he assumed the pierce was only good for the first target not all. not a biggy, in the end even doing it his way, the heroes came through :

The surge effects only affect the target of the attack, not other figures "affected by the attack." Interesting idea, and somewhat in keeping with those that argue that you can't use defensive abilities unless you are the original target …
Posted 11 December 2012 - 08:50 PM
Blast does state that target space and every adjacent space are affected and each figure affected rolls defense dice, with only one attack dice roll being made and those results applied to all figures affected.

Choices Quotes in Breaking Dawn
How we cite our quotes:
[Jacob:] That would go away, you know, if you imprinted. You wouldn't have to hurt over her anymore. Seemed like maybe getting your choices taken away from you wasn't the very worst thing in the world. Maybe feeling like this was the very worst thing in the world. (17.15)
Jacob thinks that if he imprinted, he wouldn't have to suffer over loving Bella anymore. He knows that he can't stop loving her on his own will.
[Emmett to Bella:] "You really didn't attack him?"… [Jasper:] "It's not natural." (22.149-155)
Jasper's worldview is turned upside down by the fact that Bella's self-control is stronger than her "natural" newborn tendencies to kill.
[Bella:] The Romanians' pronouncement seemed to have made the others feel the need to declare themselves as well. (34.102)
Bella believes that many of the other Cullen friends declared their loyalty in the case of war because they felt peer pressure to meet the Romanians' promise. Is making choices out of peer pressure common in our daily lives?

Breast Reduction With Dr. Timothy Mountcastle - Ashburn, VA
I chose him through my insurance company. I walked into Dr. Mountcastle's office feeling terrified. He and his staff were amazing. Dr. Mountcatle explained the surgery, showed me photos of before and after surgeries and reassured me that I would be ok. Dr. Mountcastle is an amazing surgeon. I trust him so much and am so happy with his work that I am going back for two or three more procedures I want done.

Beautiful, Confident and Whole - Ashburn, VA
I had a difficult case-or so I thought, after having surgeries and due to breast cancer...I was at my emotionally end. When I came to Dr. Mountcastle I did not know if my left breast could be restored, let alone could I ever feel beautiful and "whole" in that area. But I was so grateful to be in the hands of a Dr. that believed in his talents, was fearless and skillful. Today I am in amazing shape due to confidence restored!

Melasma No More! - Ashburn, VA
Dr Mountcastle and his office were so friendly and helpful. I had the Fraxel 1927 and did not know what to expect. His office took the time to sit down with me and answer all of my questions. Since my first visit 2 weeks ago, I have come back for 2 additional follow-ups and I am still receiving the same great treatment. My melasma has almost completely cleared up thanks to the treatment. I am coming back for my second treatment in 4-6 weeks!

Sennheiser and Neumann Outperform in Subterranean Recording Adventure, Capturing Sonic Nuances of A Cappella Vocal Ensemble
Ely, Minn. – June 8, 2011: On one frigid afternoon this past February, a crew from Classical Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) and the A cappella vocal group, Cantus, MPR's 2010-2011 Artist-in-Residence, took a three-minute pitch black ride down to the 27th level of the Soudan Underground Mines to record a performance 2,341 feet below the surface. This audio and video venture — which highlights the most recent installment in Classical MPR's Sonic Architecture series — relied on a pair of Sennheiser MKH 800s and Neumann KM 140 microphones to capture the performance and the natural acoustics of the cave.
The performance, which was produced into a video and radio piece using DTS Neural Sound, presented several challenges for Rob Byers, technical director at MPR. Byers had to select a range of gear that would perform in an unorthodox "one-take" environment. "There was no room for mistakes — we had to get in, record and get out," he said. more

The unbearable brightness of being – Janice Yong
I love bright lip colours. Bold lipsticks are kinda like crayola for your mouth. Slick on straight from the tube and the cheery fuchsia, blood red or vermillion instantly makes me feel 'made up' and ready to face the world. The problem is, they tend to leave their mark on everything. And I mean everything. From presskits (no I don't go around leaving lip prints on papers but in the flurry of packing that sometimes grips me, they tend to get onto papers) to shawls, sweaters and it even leaves streaks on my cheek at times. These are stains that are darn hard to launder off.
So what's the solution? A lipstain that gives just as brilliant a colour, that's what. Smashbox Limitless Lip Stain & Color Seal Balm was developed for photo studios to mimic the effect of photo gels on set = vibrant colour. The best part, it lasts eight hours, is feather resistant and feels weightless. Don't worry about it drying lips out, there's an attached emollient balm on the other end of the tube that you can use over the lipstain.
How to use:
Start with dry lips that are completely clean (no lip balm or suggestive lip licking for that matter!). Fill in lips like you're colouring with a sharpie marker. Let the stain dry. Then apply the tinted balm on top to moisturise lips. The lipstain marker portion has to be immediately capped after use as it dries out real fast.
I tried the Guava shade, a zingy orangey red that gives life to the most blah complexion days. I swear it even made my hair bouncier. It doesn't kiss off or get onto anywhere it isn't supposed to. Awesome!

text: The hose clamps expand and contract with the hose in response to temperature changes in the application. They cannot be over- or undertightened, and are installed and removed easily using either manual or pneumatic tools. The clamps are also a good alternative to gluing hoses to manifolds in spa assemblies, providing effective clamping without the use of glues that could potentially clog the hose line. Other applications include appliances such as laundry machines and dishwashers, as well as heating and air conditioning. |

You are asked to volunteer as a stage manager for a charitable production of the play "The Wizard of Oz." Helping with charitable causes has always been something that you have enjoyed doing. While standing on the stage one day you realize that it is up to you to obtain the audio visual rentals because the school auditorium does not have the best lighting and only a couple of microphones. You begin calling around to audio visual rental companies and they ask about the type of lighting that you need. The only problem is that you have no idea what lighting is best for a stage, besides spot lights.
You go back to the drawing board, and come across an article from BooshNews that tells you about different lighting options:
- " Ellipsoidal – these lights are the traditional stage lights and considered to be the most important. They are focusing lights, the appearance on stage of which can be altered by shutters and filters.
- Fresnel – these lights are used for colour washes on the stage.
- Scoop – basically a floodlight. Can provide a fully lit stage or area.
- Par Cans – these lights are the type you will see in even the dingiest of pubs. Always a hardy option, par cans can take a beating, are durable and easy to transport.
- Followspots – these are spotlights used to follow someone around a stage.
- LEDs – these lights are good for focused beams and have been slowly replacing traditional bulbs in stage lighting.
- Dizzies – these lights are round spheres with several LED lights (usually of differing colours) covering the surface. The sphere rotates in a variety of directions and patterns, creating a swirling, dizzying pattern, hence the name.
- Gels – this term refers to the colours given to lights. They work as colour filters, and must work in harmony with the colour of the light itself to achieve the desired effect. "
Now that you have knowledge of different types of lighting, you call the audio visual rental company back and are able to select the best lighting options.

Onalaska Thefts On Rise
This morning the Onalaska Police Department received numerous reports of burglaries occurring during the previous night. All reports were of garage entries where access was gained through the service doors. Though most of the reports indicated that though the service doors were locked when the entries occurred none of the doors had a deadbolt lock engaged, making the lock easier to break in.
The entries all occurred in the area bounded by Quincy and Vilas and 6th North and 10th North. Items reported stolen included smaller electronics such as GPS and Satellite radios, along with change and jewelry. Police are telling people to keep all doors locked.
Onalaska Police Chief Jeff Trotnic says if you leave your garage door opener in your vehicle make sure that it's locked and not easily visible. An unlocked car with a garage door opener is an invitation for thieves to enter your garage. If anyone has any information pertaining to these burglaries please contact the Onalaska Police Department immediately.
Local Dems Are Ready For 20122012 will bring us Local elections.....a recall of the governor, a presidential race........referendums.........nothing new for Vicki Burke. The new La Crosse County Democratic Chair says her plate is completely full.....and it's only January. The first major step for the democractic party is turning in 507 thousand recall signatures a week from today. What's At Stake For Sparta VotersWhen people vote on a school referendum, do they really know the financial state of that district? Sparta School Superintendent, John Hendricks, says they will hold 4 forums before a February 21st referendum, which asks for $750 thousand a year for three years. The referendum won't raise local property taxes.....it would be a continuation of the current revenue formula...passed by voters in 2007. Vote Near on Adding Park Land in CityIt's a turning point for a big piece of La Crosse land this week. The city council votes on whether to turn 160 acres of blufftop conservation land into a city park. If they make that decision, the land is forever off limits to development. But it stays a unique recreational tourist draw, argues outdoor activist and businessman, Marvin Wanders. And that's money in the bank for the city The city purchased the land from the UW system nearly fifty years ago with the understanding it would always be accessible to the public. Council to Vote on Possible Billboard ReferendumMultiple referendums could face La Crosse voters in April. One will ask whether the city should have a top administrator. But three advisory referendum questions could get approval this week by the city council. With all of them focused on billboards Bob Seaquist heads the committee charged with coming up with new sign rules in the city. The city's been under an electronic sign moratorium for months while the committee has worked on the new rules. |

I'll admit it — I was initially drawn to this game (no pun intended) by the name. What in the heck is this? I thought when I saw "Draw a Stickman EPIC' in the Windows Store on my Microsoft Surface.
The answer: It's a fun and creative adventure game that lets you solve challenges with artistic flair — scribbling out some fire or an axe on the screen, for example, to burn or chop down obstacles in your way. Your character is your very own stickman, which you create at the beginning.
I also like the fact that it's available for Windows 8, and I'm looking forward to trying it on the Surface Pro, to see how it works with the new Microsoft tablet's included pen. However, the game is also available for iPad, iPhone and Android devices, including Kindle Fire.
It"s available in free and paid versions, going for $1.99 on iOS and Android and $2.99 on Windows 8. Sorry Windows Phone users, not available for you yet.
The game is part of a series from Kentucky-based Hitcents. Here's an interesting background piece with more on how the game was made.
