text: "Who wake... ancient ones?" Eyerok is a golem-like entity who appears as a boss in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. It is composed of two massive, stone hands with eyeballs in the palms. Its name a portmanteau of "eye" and "rock", as well as a pun on the phrase "I rock." ContentsHistory[edit]Super Mario series[edit]Super Mario 64[edit]In Super Mario 64, Eyerok is the boss of Shifting Sand Land and resides in the central pyramid, where it guards one of the Power Stars. Its chamber is a platform with a pit on three sides, which is inside a large red brick block in the pyramid. It slams down its fists and tries to push the player off of the platform. When hit, the player will lose three bars in the power meter. The player must punch Eyerok's eyes (located in its palms) enough times to destroy each hand, at which point the stone monstrosity is defeated. Super Mario 64 DS[edit]In Super Mario 64 DS, Eyerok makes an appearance. Like in its original appearance, it appears in Shifting Sand Land during the Stand Tall On The Four Pillars mission. When Mario enters its chamber and disturbs it, the two engage in battle. Eyerok's strategy remains unchanged: attacking Mario while leaving an eye exposed. It is possible to get into Eyerok's chamber through an alternate way with Luigi by backflipping off of the cube Eyerok resides in, punching the brick covering the hole, and entering the chamber. Mario Kart series[edit]Mario Kart DS[edit]Eyerok also appears in Mario Kart DS as the second boss in Mission Mode. It appears in the Sand Arena. There are three Item Boxes here which contain Green Shells. Eyerok moves up and down trying to dodge these shells. After being hit one time, it jumps around while making fists. Then, it opens its fists, exposing its eyes. After being hit a second time, it stomps around again. After being hit a third time, Eyerok is defeated. Super Mario-Kun[edit]Eyerok appears in one of the Super Mario-Kun comics. It appears on the cover of the sixteenth issue, which is based on Super Mario 64. As such, its role throughout the comic mimics its role in the game. Though more Super Mario 64 issues exist, Eyerok only appears in one. Mario attempts to attack it, even by farting on it, but Eyerok just pokes or smacks him with both hands. After finding out that the eye is the weak point, Mario takes measures to make them open their eyes and then defeats them. Gallery[edit]Names in other languages[edit]

How peculiar. I'm not sure what to make of it. I had taken some shiso, arugula and one jalapeño plant and put it into a window box planted in 5-1-1 mix, with a bit of fish meal tossed in if I recall correctly. It was too much sun for the arugula so I pulled those a week ago and transplanted elsewhere, but I simply tugged those out lightly. Today, I decided to move the shiso into its own pot so I DUG those out. (They're about 6 weeks?) Anyway, to my surprise, shock and then horror -- I find a white mold of sorts growing INSIDE the soil. There was no evidence of such on the top of the soil or on the plants, and barring my shiso being a bit tougher than I had expected, growth has been fine, if not good. (Incidentally, that was also the reason I moved the arugula but attributed that to too much sun.) Following this, I also pulled the jalapeño into its own pot and shook off as much of the old soil as I could for all of them. Now I have this soil just drying out and pondering whether to toss, turn or what. Anyone recognize what this mold is? Understanding there is such a thing as good mold, and given that it doesn't seem to have stunted growth any, I'm not sure what to think. Having used regular potting soil in the past, I never experienced mold IN the soil, though I have seen mold develop on top of the soil. Obviously, with standard potting soil, there wouldn't have been enough airspace for mold to really show itself this clearly. I think the new root growth looks plenty healthy, so I'm at a loss. It was time to repot them all anyway, and they went into a new batch of a soil mix, but based on the same ingredients I used before... Thoughts? Grace |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh, and I should also note that I didn't use straight up peat. I used Gardner & Bloome Eden Valley Blend. I love the potting soil in and of itself -- it's very airy and satiny but I have noted as of late that in mixes, based on the condition of the perlite, this mix seems to develop algae quicker than other mixes. I don't know enough to speculate as to why -- but using MG + perlite yields less algae on perlite than this mix when I use it for seeds. It's not a lot -- but notably more than my usual perlite condition of brown and no green at all. Performance-wise, they all seem to do fine. I've attached a photo to show you the amount of "green" (which I presume is algae). Grace |
I don't know what it is, but I think it is a benign fungus (not mold) that is one if the many microorganisms that live on organic matter. I've seen the same thing in my pine bark both before and after incorporating it into 5-1-1 mix. I've sometimes seen mushrooms in the same soil, which are the fruiting bodies of fungus. It is more likely to show up if your mix stays moist and will die back if you allow the mix to dry out between waterings. I wouldn't worry about it. It's similar to the algae that seems to form on perlite in similar conditions. It's nature, after all. |
Gardening is so lovely, Ohio, lol. Okay, that sounds reasonable, that it's from the bark. I'm learning as I go here on how often to water which mix and why -- but for this particular planter, I watched the jalapeño carefully because it would droop just a little if it needed water, the arugula and shiso had to make do with whatever that pepper desired. That said, I had watered yesterday and clearly the mix was quite moist today--and I guess ideal for fungus. I guess I will let the soil dry out and then just pot something else in it. It'd be such a waste to throw it all out....especially when the plants were growing nicely in it. Ya know, gardening outside in the ground is so much simpler. My plants could have all had something like this and I'd have never known or checked. The only time I used containers was for herbs or cuttings -- so having to stick to containers, I'm finding all sorts of things I have never seen before. It's both fascinating and frustrating, but I sure wish I had a yard so I can have some sense of normalcy around here with things going exactly as I expect them to go. Thank you for letting me know what you think it is, Ohio! I feel much more at ease, haha. Grace |
Well now I feel silly. I'm guessing this is what mycorrhizae looks like....much like the ingredients list stated! I don't know how I feel about this fungus growing on roots to promote nutrient uptake via expanded surface area business, though....now I feel like changing to something new! |
LOL! You can't grow anything in a completely sterile environment. If you're creeped out about mycorrhizae, how do you feel about the microorganisms in your intestines? Without them you would die. I think mycorrhizae are a lot like those micororganisms. From Wikipedia: The human body carries about 100 trillion microorganisms in its intestines, a number ten times greater than the total number of human cells in the body. The metabolic activities performed by these bacteria resemble those of an organ, leading some to liken gut bacteria to a "forgotten" organ. It is estimated that these gut flora have around a hundred times as many genes in aggregate as there are in the human genome. |
Ohio, I know. You're right. But if I had to take out my intestines and look at it, I can't say what I'd do next then either, lol. Probably never eat yogurt again and drink peroxide daily, haha. I only have about 1/8 of the bag left. And as mentioned, I do like the soil and texture overall. New to coir-based anything, but so far -- this being the first bag -- I have enjoyed it. I was reading a study on coir vs peat with peat winning basically everything. But I hate how peat clumps and becomes hydrophobic. What do you use? |
- Posted by maple_grove 6 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 5, 13 at 15:57
Yep, looks like mycorrhizae. Congratulations on developing such a healthy and thriving root system. Actually, one of the rarely mentioned benefits of pine bark as growth medium is that it has anti-fungal properties. Do you fertilize at low doses with every watering? Regular fertilization has been shown to inhibit the growth of mycorrhizae. It is thought that, if the plant has a sufficient access to nutrients through the existing root system, the symbiotic association will not have any benefit to the plant which can then somehow prevent colonization. I hope that makes you feel better. Alex |
Alex, thanks for the confirmation! It's fir bark, primarily because I can't find pine bark here in SF to save my life. As for fertilizing, I added 10-10-10 fish meal when I made the soil (8 weeks ago or so?) and I fertilize weakly every 3 waterings or so -- which would be about 10-12 days these days. Like 1/4 tsp per gallon. Probably not enough to be doing much of anything but better than nothing. I don't like fertilizing edibles too much. And this soil I used has a lot of other literal sh*t, lol, in addition to this fungus business. ;-) Left alone, I'd probably mix in a Tbsp of more fish meal in a few weeks. Knowing my plants are not rotting from below, I transplanted the edible mums into it today for one area. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger, right? Haha. |
Want to see some real mold growing from the soil? Ha!! Actually this is some Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) mycelia I have growing on coffee grounds. I started the culture (which I guess is still technically "container gardening") back in December to use as an inoculum for some Christmas presents but I never got around to it. It sat in the trunk of my car for 2 months until the car got totaled and now it is in my office. This fungus is saprotrophic, not mycorrhizal so it grows perfectly well without an associated plant. Hardy little sucker. |
Haha, Rhizo -- yes, that would have been less embarrassing if I grew it myself. So now what are you gonna do with it? |
At some point I will actually use it to inoculate some straw and I'll try to see if I can get the mushrooms to grow. It was surprisingly hard to find a source of straw in the city. What, no one has cows here? I ended up getting some from a pet store sold as bedding for rabbits. I have a habit of starting projects and not finishing them so I'd give it 50:50 that I'll ever actually do it. r |
Sf_rhino to COALINGA! Lol Well, if you end up not doing much with then, it can always be your pet mold. People have done stranger things... Grace |
I'll never forget driving through there when I was in high school on a road trip down to Death Valley. I grew up around cattle ranches but I had never saw (or smelled) anything like that before!! |
Grace: To me, that simply looks like root hair, not fungus. The function of which is to collect water and mineral nutrients present in the soil and get it to the roots and the rest of the plant. Click here to see a time lapse on youtube of roots forming on radishes. If you were growing in a denser soil, most of those hairs, would probably get pulled of, when you were lifting them. In time, the bark in your mix, WILL attract fungus, but most probably, just something that will not be malign to your plants... perhaps even beneficial ones. and maybe not a fungus, that you will be able to see with your eyes (they might already be there). |

UFC on FOX 6: Johnson vs. Dodson Preview – LITTLE GUYS!
My preview of UFC on FOX 6, which is a great card highlighting the lighter weight classes.
Demetrious Johnson vs. John Dodson: Alberto Del Rio is going to be pissed when he finds out that this is for the World Title and that his match with the Big Show is meaningless. I can't say I'm super excited for this fight, because I don't really care all that much about either guy, but I do think it'll be a fun fight. Dodson hits hard and can be unpredictable with his explosiveness, but he can also be very passive and frustrating to watch. Johnson isn't going to overwhelm you with excitement, but he does everything well and at a high pace. He's good offensively and defensively and seems to get better with every fight. He's not a great wrestler, but he is good at mixing up his takedowns with his strikes and quickly changing levels. Dodson is a good wrestler, but if Johnson can get him down and initiate scrambles, he's in trouble as Johnson is the quicker and better grappler. I expect Johnson to be the slightly more aggressive fighter, which could allow him to steal rounds, but Dodson is always one strike away from ending his opponents night. This should be a close fight with both men displaying a lot of speed and technique but in the end I think Johnson does enough to take a hotly costed decision.
Prediction: Johnson, Decision
Quinton Jackson vs. Glover Teixeira: Counting on Jackson to show up focussed, in shape, and diverse is like asking Taylor Swift to not write a song about how someone wronged her. At this point in his career, Jackson has turned into a one-trick pony. Granted that trick isn't terrible because he packs a hell of a punch, but if Teixeira can avoid the big hooks of Jackson, he should have no trouble winning this fight. Teixeira's striking isn't as good as some people will make it out to be, but he does have a solid clinch game and an even better ground game, especially on top. If Teixeira can get Jackson down, he's not just going to sit in guard and do little, he's going to pass and beat him up. I'm not as sold on Teixeira as a lot of people are, but it's nearly impossible to trust Jackson at this point. He hasn't had a good performance in years, hasn't fought in almost a year, and is only taking this fight to finish up his contract. There's always a chance that Jackson catches Teixeira, but if Teixeira is as good as he's hyped up to be, he takes this fight. Jackson is a tough guy to finish (although his chin isn't what it once was) but I think Teixeira takes a clear cut decision.
Prediction: Teixeira, Decision
Donald Cerrone vs. Anthony Pettis: This is the real main event. I just can't imagine a scenario in which this fight is boring. Maybe if it ends in a quick finish fans will wonder "what could've been?" but is anyone going to complain about a potentially spectacular finish? Both guys say they're going to stand in front of each other and throw until the other guy falls, and when it comes to Cerrone and Pettis, I actually believe them. To an extent. Cerrone isn't a dumb fighter, but he is someone who will throw caution to the wind if it means putting on a great fight. The same can be said about Pettis, albeit to a slightly lesser extent. Cerrone is the more diverse striker as he'll throw kicks along with punches and knees. Pettis isn't a terrible boxer, but he relies heavily on his kicks and creativity. If either guy isn't feeling good about the way things are going on the feet, don't be shocked if they go for a takedown. Cerrone's wrestling has really improved over the years and Pettis is a dynamic wrestler in his own right. Even if the fight hits the ground we're in for some excitement as both men are extremely active from the bottom. Pettis has a great triangle while Cerrone has quick hips and is underrated in the scrambles. This fight could go either way and any outcome wouldn't shock me, but I slightly favor Cerrone because I think he'll be the busier of the two fighters and land the cleaner strikes over the course of 15-minutes.
Prediction: Cerrone, Decision
Erik Koch vs. Ricardo Lamas: Koch was due a couple of title shots last year but didn't get them because of injuries. Now, so people remember who the hell he is, he has to face Lamas. Lamas is solid on the feet, but Koch is definitely the better striker with more power. Also, Lamas' chin is a bit questionable. That said, Lamas is the better wrestler and grappler. Koch works well off his back, but I don't think he'll be able to get anything going against Lamas, who completely nullified the ground game of Hatsu Hioki. Getting Koch down could be a problem though, as his takedown defense has greatly improved since the Chad Mendes fight and Lamas, while a good wrestler, isn't on the level of Mendes. I think Lamas struggles for takedowns and gets thoroughly out-struck en route to a Koch decision with a slight chance that he finishes him in the latter half of the fight.
Prediction: Koch, Decision

People magazine reported that their separation, announced last week, came about only after Mutt began a relationship with their assistant, Marie Ann Thiebaud.
But Mutt told the magazine there was — and is — no affair, that he and Shania were "literally just growing apart." Shania, the mag claims, is "devastated" over their parting, and that it "came out of left field."
The couple married in December 1993, and have a son, Eja, born in 2001. Shania's career took off after she began working with Mutt, who had already built a career before they met as a writer and producer for such pop and rock acts as Foreigner, Bryan Adams, AC/DC, the Cars, Billy Ocean and Huey Lewis & The News.

Italy: Lesbian MP and partner insulted in central Rome
last update: April 21, 20:15
Rome, 21 April (AKI) - A gay centre-left member of the Italian parliament and her partner were insulted Thursday as they strolled hand in hand through an upmarket shopping street in central Rome. The incident drew condemnation from politicians and rights groups.
"A man of around 35 years old started shouting: 'Fucking lesbians, they should have sent you to the ovens'!" Paola Concia told Adnkronos.
Concia said that of all the many passers-by on the via Campo Marzio near the Italian parliament, only one woman and a conservative politician, Antonino Lo Presti, came to her and her partner's defence.
Some people even took the 'homophobic' man's side, she said, adding that it was not the first time she had been publicly insulted.
"But this time it was more violently aggressive - I could sense this man's contempt. Why should I accept such insults?" said Concia, who introduced an anti-homophobia bill in the Italian parliament that failed to become law.
Italy's gay rights association Archigay swiftly condemned the incident.
"This is an outrage against the Italian parliament and the battle for equality and justice for gays, lesbians and transsexuals in Italy," the groups said in a statement.
Politicians across the political spectrum also deplored the insults to Concia.
"I express expressed solidarity with the victim of a vile and vulgar intolerance that must be unreservedly condemned," said Italian senate speaker Renato Schifani.

I once witnessed 2 pentakills in the same game. What are the odds of that? I would figure it out myself, but I am not completely sure how.

Network Ops Technician
Simply amazing!
Feels good knowing you contributed... especially the Teemo kills.
Thats not an accreditation that many can claim. "The most played game in the world." That is EXTREMELY impressive, especially for a game that is only 4 or so years old.
Junior Member
it's shocking that so many of the players are older, and college educated, and still such complete *******s, misogynist, and homophobes.
the more temo dies...the happier the world gets...and someday will be a solution to all world problems..and hopefully will cause world peace!
Riot, you are doing it right! Keep ir real for the sake of all who we love playing .
Wow this is amazing, keep up the awesomeness Riot.
Great stuff. I wonder how Riot knows how many players are enrolled and/or completed some college?
This brings tears of joy to my eyes. Away with COD!

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Clarence A. Cunha dropped the "acting" from the title of acting fire chief Friday and became the 24th leader of the Providence Fire Department.
Cunha was sworn in at a standing-room-only City Hall ceremony by Mayor Angel Taveras as his family, city officials, firefighters and visiting chiefs from other departments looked on.
It was a spit-and-polish moment, replete with brass buttons, shoulder-borne foureguerres, gold braid and an honor guard hefting gilded fire axes as firefighters set aside their turnout gear and donned Class A uniforms.
"He worked his way through the ranks," Mayor Angel Taveras said of the new chief, who joined the department in September 1980. "He has received numerous awards for heroic and meritorious actions."
"Chief Cunha has proven himself to be a skilled firefighter and a steadfast leader," Taveras continued. "I am confident that he will continue to work to protect the people of Providence and serve our city with distinction."
Steven M. Paré, public safety commissioner, said "Chief Cunha has an impeccable record of service and accomplishment and is devoted to his family, friends, career, and the City of Providence. He is a leader who has earned the respect of the men and women of the Providence Fire Department. He's a do-it-yourself kind of guy."
Sound effects around the council chamber included some squawks from Cunha's toddler grandchildren and other squawks from semi-muted fire radios ("Attention Engine 10").
Cunha's wife, Karyl, pinned the chief's badge to her husband's chest. Also present were their daughters Alyson and Rene and grandchildren Gianni and Scarlett. Cunha's son, Matthew, is serving as a pilot in Afghanistan.
The new chief began his career assigned to Engine Company 3 and then served nine years in the Special Hazards Unit.
On Dec. 19, 1991, Cunha was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in charge of Engine Co. 12 at the Admiral Street Station. On Dec. 1, 1999, he was promoted to the rank of captain and ran Engine Co. 2 and then later Engine Co. 10 at the Broad Street Station. On April 26, 2013, Cunha was promoted to the rank of battalion chief. He later served as deputy assistant chief and was appointed as acting chief on Sept. 16, 2013.
Cunha promised to "live up to my predecessors," and "not let the team down." He said his "primary objective is to protect our great city."

Director's Message
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
For nearly a quarter of a century, the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress (CSTS) has been on the forefront of translational research on the psychological effects and health consequences of exposure to traumatic events, especially those related to war, disasters, terrorism and public health threats.
The Center, part of the Department of Psychiatry in the School of Medicine of the Uniformed Services University, has been uniquely attuned and responsive to our nation's trauma history encompassing events of national and international impact such as 9/11, the anthrax attacks, major hurricanes and H1N1. As a component Center of the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury (DCoE), the Center brings scholarly and research oriented problem solving to the mental and behavioral health problems of the Department of Defense and the nation. In 2010, the Center continued to focus its activities on the effects of the ongoing war in Iraq and Afghanistan, which have led to high rates of posttraumatic stress, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, suicide, co-morbid concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), and other combat-related mental and behavioral health needs affecting service members, their families and loved ones.
The Center's advances in neuroscience are aimed at improving the psychological health, resilience and post deployment function of service members through identification of biomarkers and other genetic components involved in PTSD and suicide, as well as discovery of novel pharmacologic interventions to prevent and eradicate PTSD symptoms. The Center works on social and epidemiologic studies to identify modifiable risk and resilience factors of service members and their families. Our work is also focused on improving the psychological health and resilience of military families and children. Through research, education and consultation, we are addressing new areas of need such as the care and communication around special risk groups such as body handlers, training for supervisors in fostering resilience, addressing risks for suicidal behaviors and other health risk behaviors, and better understanding the impact of combat injury and parental loss on military children.
Our Center's work is characterized by a sustained focus on collaboration from basic to clinical sciences, from laboratory to field research, from direct clinical care to population level prevention. We assist the Department of Defense in leading the nation in trauma focused care and rapidly moving findings from bench to bedside and from war to disaster. In 2010, two Center scientists deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan bringing the Center's expertise in military and disaster psychiatry to care for those in harm's way. Upon their return, these real world experiences further enrich our ongoing trauma research and outreach.
This year our Center has also responded in real time to large-scale disasters such as the Haiti earthquake and the Gulf Oil Spill, and we have been training military and federal responders in the principles of psychological First Aid.
In addition, CSTS scientists and clinicians have been busy disseminating knowledge through presentations at national and international scientific conferences, through participation in professional and academic review boards and by chairing committees that influence the policy and practice of trauma and disaster care. As part of the Forum on national Security and Health, we brought together national and international thought leaders for The Forum's first conference, Stigma and Barriers to Care: Caring for Those Exposed to War, Disaster and Terrorism.
Our Center also sponsored its prestigious, 5th Annual conference on Amygdala, Stress and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Fear in the Human Mind.
The Center has expanded rapidly and successfully to meet new challenges. At the end of 2010, the Center's support and professional staff numbered over 75 people representing experienced researchers, scientists and administrators, enabling us to continue to grow and contribute as a world class research facility.
In addition, CSTS scientists continue to be highly productive in publishing important papers, book chapters and books on subjects ranging from the impact of the sniper attacks on the homeless population in Washington, D.C. to knowledge gained from a collection of interviews with world renowned scholars and practitioners on family violence research, assessment and interventions.
All of these activities and contributions integrate basic science and clinical science to better understand the effects of stress and trauma. Our research projects are combining psychosocial, epidemiologic and neuroscience methodologies that will lead to a better understanding of the vulnerability, protective factors and treatments for trauma disorders. This approach, from laboratory to bedside to bench, will drive both short-term and long-term objectives for all of our Center projects related to research, education, consultation, and training.
We wish to thank the many individuals, organizations and colleagues who have worked with us this year to support and advance trauma knowledge and trauma informed care.

Robin Gibb could be honoured with public memorial service at London's St Paul's Cathedral
Robin Gibb, the Bee Gees singer and songwriter who died last week aged 62 (May 20), could be remembered with a public memorial service at St Paul's Cathedral in London.
The pop legend is to be buried next month at a private funeral in Oxfordshire. However, his son Robin-John has suggested that a larger memorial service could take place in September at the historic central London cathedral.
Gibb's son also told the Sunday Express that his father, who had suffered with cancer in recent years, died of kidney failure, and recalled his passing.
"We watched him go and told him we loved him," he said. "The end was peaceful and dignified… It was only later that I cried and cried."

I took apart my old mattress set and have these bedsprings I can't dispose of very easily. Any ideas for turning them into treasure are greatly appreciated! scrapmom3 |

I've seen them used as a trellis before. Sorry that's all I can think of. Sally. |
Oh, I hope it's not too late!! I just found the gallery! I passed up a set of bedsprings about three weeks ago and - of course - saw ideas for using them within a few days. I can't remember which magazine it was, maybe Country Sampler Decorating, they separated the springs individually and hung them with more old wire which was adorned with beads. They put small glass vases inside to use for votive candles. They were really cute!! |

I went to a really cool, funky store one time and they had mattress springs on the ceiling with grapevines and such twining in and out of them. And it seems I read somewhere of someone placing them on the ceiling and putting twinkly Christmas lights in them - like over your bed? That would be so cozy. Jill |
If you still need an idea...I have one. One individual spring that is, that I got at a craft place. I hang some of my antique cookie cutters from it. |
I have wanted to make a swinging bed. I've seen them use the bed springs and they have also used a board with a cushion on it. Hooked it to the ceiling with chains. I just don't have anywhere I could put one. Cheri |
See what I did with springs on my website. I have 2 as a trellis and have separated some as mentioned above. http://members.cox.net/nonacook |

Forecast summary
Regional forecast for West Midlands
Rain moving southeastwards tonight. Wintry showers through tomorrow. Windy.
This Evening and Tonight:
It will be a largely mild, cloudy night with outbreaks of rain becoming more persistent from the northwest, perhaps turning heavy in places too. Turning increasingly windy. Minimum Temperature 5C.
Remaining outbreaks of rain soon clearing southeastwards. Brighter but colder conditions following with scattered showers. Showers turning increasingly to sleet and snow throughout the day. Remaining windy. Maximum Temperature 9C.
Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:
Cold with wintry showers, more frequent Thursday than Friday, with more in the way of sunny spells developing, especially across the east. Strong winds will accentuate the cold feel throughout.
Updated at: 1513 on Tue 27 Jan 2015
UK forecast for the next 5 days
Rain clearing southeast. Cold tomorrow with blustery wintry showers. Windy.
This Evening and Tonight:
Outbreaks of rain across northwest Scotland will slowly spread southeastwards affecting most parts of the UK. Behind the rain, it will turn colder from the northwest with wintry showers following. Becoming windy, with gales in the north.
Rain will clear the south through the morning. Elsewhere, bright and cold with scattered wintry showers. Snow showers turning heavy across the north later. Windy, especially in north and west.
Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:
Cold throughout with frequent sleet or snow showers, but with more sunny spells inland by Saturday. Strong to gale force winds will accentuate the cold feel.
Updated at: 1523 on Tue 27 Jan 2015
Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Sunday 1 Feb 2015 to Tuesday 10 Feb 2015:
The cold and showery theme to the weather will persist through most of the first week of February as northerly winds bring hail, sleet and snow showers to the country, these frequent across northern parts, with overnight frost and ice. The strong northerly winds, with gales in places, will accentuate the cold feel with a significant wind chill. The best of the drier, brighter weather will be across sheltered southern parts. However, there are signs of more changeable weather towards the end of the first week as winds turn more westerly. By then, spells of wind and rain coming in off the Atlantic suggest that temperatures are likely to become less cold and thus the likelihood of snow, frost and ice would be lower.
UK Outlook for Wednesday 11 Feb 2015 to Wednesday 25 Feb 2015:
It looks most likely that unsettled conditions will continue across much of the UK with temperatures closer to normal when compared to the start of February. This may be more obvious across parts of southern and western Britain where it might be a little wetter than average as spells of wind and rain make their way in from the Atlantic. However, there is the possibility of pressure building around the middle of the month bringing more settled conditions, particularly in the south.

Google likes Like.com, buys visual search team
Another acquisition for Google: this time turning to visual search and e-commerce engine Like.com, which could help Google's product and image search sites.
Google has snapped up Like.com, the start-up announced Friday, as Google puts its product-shopping search strategy on the front burner.
Techcrunch, which reported a deal was in progress earlier in the week, said the official deal could be for as much as $100 million. "We were the first to bring visual search to shopping, the first to build an automated cross-matching system for clothing, and more. We see joining Google as a way to supersize our vision and supercharge our passion," said Munjal Shah, co-founder and CEO, in a statement posted on Like.com's home page.
Like.com operates a shopping Web site organized around visual search, and it will fit right into Google's plans to build out its product search features ahead of this year's holiday shopping season. Google has also shown an interest in the core of Like.com's technology--training computers to recognize objects independently--and could find uses for its technology in Google Image Search.

Arena Season 4: Everything we know about the brutal season {WoW}
Sep 22nd 2008 4:14AM Guys, since I have tasted all aspects of this game EXTENSIVELY I feel I'm in a good position to add my 2 cents.
Currently there are quite a few different aspects in the game and people should learn to do only the things they enjoy instead of moaning. You can spend endless hours playing BGs, or Arena or running heroics or questing and of course.. raiding.
PvEers have a problem with arena because the gear ppl can get from arena are of the same level as the end-game raids in the game. Arena gear can "potentially" be obtained faster and with less effort than the PvE gear (TBC wise). PvEers sweat their asses off to acquire gear and it takes months if not years to acquire the end-game epics, cos of the way the game works, even after someone downs Illidan 10 times or heads into Sunwell Plateau.
Also in PvE, you have to coordinate 25 people. The support structure to have a guild raiding at least 4 times a week for 25 man raids is.. immense. People who never seriously PvEed will never realise the truth behind those simple words. To keep a guild raiding week in week out in 25 mans and PROGRESS, requires immense amount of effort, time and resources. Yes, FAR more than arena. Hence some PvEers feel bitter than their PvP counterparts can get equivalent gear in a fraction of the time.
Which is why I salute Blizzard's effort to add different stats to PvP - such as resilience - making PvE gear in PvP less viable. And making PvP gear crit dependent making them less viable for PvE (see AGGRO mechanics, if u r clueless about the importance of aggro, then don't even dare comment).
Mopving on to the PvP side of things. Arena requires SKILL. It's a different set of skill than raids, but Arena is to Battlegrounds what Raids are to Heroics. That is a language that everyone understands. A good PvPer does not make a good PvEer nor does a good PvEer make a good PvPer. Both require skill, but different sets of skills are deployed.
PvP requires faster reactions and unscripted actions. However it's limited in size, only 5 people at best. Constant communication IS key, as action is frantic but:
PvE requires an orchestration of 10 / 25 players. It ain't easy to get 25 people to do their "part" right. Especially in the high end raids. VashJ in SSC,is a perfect example. Especially while the guild/raid's gear is still par SSC.
To have a 25 man raid happen u need at least 40-50 ACTIVE raiders in a guild.
So, both sides, learn not to bash each other.
Arena requires a LOT of skill to get high rating, however a lot of the gear can be 'grinded'.
PvE requires immense amounts of time and effort and running a raiding guild becomes as demanding as running a coorporation. Let alone having to tackle issues between players, loot issues and everything else a raid enviroment throws at you, including endless nights of wiping.
Learn to respect each other's efforts. I hope Blizzard continues in the new expansion to separate the two sets of gear so that PvP gear is not that viable in PvEand so that PvE gear is not as viable in PvP.
Cleavage buffed on PTR {WoW}
Mar 6th 2008 3:09AM I disagree with such "skill-nerfing" moves.
The whole point is to be able to CONTROL your character.
Don't do multi-mob dmg when there's a sheep around.
Learn to control your character. Having it all just full blast dmg is dumb and pointless and removes a player's individual skill.
Besides, for all those shamans and hunters wanting to shoot at several targets at the same time, what if that other target is AOE aggroed by the tank? You think he can hold onto him for long if you keep blasting those chain lightnings?
Learn to play the game instead of wanting everything to be serviced by one mouse click.
Perhaps give instant ability to all dps classes:
[One-Shot] => Does what it says in the can. Press it and your target is instantly dead. Works in PvE, BG and Arenas too.
Cooldown: 0.1 seconds
Can a shaman tank Karazhan? {WoW}
Mar 6th 2008 2:40AM I see a lot of similar ambitions in invading with your character another class' field. While it's great fun to do it for the novelty I would really hate to see Blizzard make a move towards making shamans a tanking alternative.
It's bad enough that the tanking role can now be filled by three classes and more often than not the warriors get sidelined, let alone a 4th.
Had a shaman the other day asking for mortal strike ability for his pvp, to which i replied and yes, warriors would like a hunter's pet, a water elemental and the priest's healing ability.

Be My Doppelganger is doing an online single series, a lot of them range in quality but here is, in my opinion, their best one so far. We've got two great songs, the first one 'You're Always Right' is one of the best Be My Doppelganger songs I've heard, it's no 'Turning Seventeen' but it's up there for sure, and it does kind of have that same vibe. The second song 'Downtown' is a slower song, kind of has a Get Up Kids feel going on. It's a great song though and show's Be My Doppelganger has more than just the party song speed. Check out these singles that Be My Doppelganger has been putting on their bandcamp and make sure if nothing else you don't miss this one!
1. You're Always Right

It's always great when we get to feature new inventions that could change the world for the better. Take this windmill for example. It's capable of turning salt water into pure, clean drinking water.
There are so many countries in the world that, despite being surrounded by ocean, suffer a serious lack of drinking water. There is no electricity required for the reverse osmosis system, so it could be an ideal solution for many third world countries. It's capable of producing enough water for 500 people in a single day. Water reservoirs will allow enough water to be stored for five days, so even in mild drought situations, or if there is not enough wind for a few days, there will be enough reserve water.
"The windmill was designed at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in The Netherlands," DailyTech.com explains. "It runs by using the wind's mechanical force to pump water, and utilizes a high tech reverse osmosis membrane. The pumped water is pushed against this membrane at approximately 60 bar of pressure, and the salt is kept inside while pure water travels across the membrane.
"The windmill setup is estimated to 5 to 10 m3 of fresh water a day, based on the device's capacity at varying wind speeds."
This could be world changing. If these wind-driven machines were installed in nations in which people are being forced to drink contaminated drinking water, millions of diseases and deaths could be prevented.

Summary: "Based on case studies from public schools in Toronto, Canada, this book chronicles an inspiring five-year journey to develop thinking about and teaching literacy for the 21st century. The research, which was classroom-based and developed by public school teachers in collaboration with university researchers, was stimulated by an ethnographic study at Joyce Public School to track children learning to read in an era of multiliteracies. Following the kindergarteners' interest in Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Lotherington asked the principal: What would Goldilocks look like, retold through the eyes of the children? The resulting classroom experiment to transform learning to read a storybook into multimodal collaborative story-telling sparked the development of an award-winning school-university learning community dedicated to the development of multimodal literacies in the culturally diverse, urban classroom. Pedagogy of Multiliteracies tells the evolving story of teachers' trial-and-error interventions to engage children in multiple modes of expression involving structured play with contemporary media. Using the complex texts created, the teachers carve spaces to welcome the voices of children and the languages of the community into the English-medium classroom"-- Provided by publisher.

Mile vs Kilometer (km)
Mile and kilometer are units of measurement of length. While kilometer is used in the metric system, mile is a unit of measurement in the imperial system. Despite dominance of metric system worldwide, mile as a unit of length is used in a widespread manner in all parts of the world. Kilometer is used everywhere except the US and UK where mile is more commonly used to denote geographical distances between two places. There are obvious differences in a mile and a kilometer that will be discussed in this article.
Before the metric system was adopted it was only mile with different versions that was used in all parts of the world. One mile contains 1760 yards which in turn equals 5280 feet (as 1 yard = 3 feet). Mile is one third in length to the older league that was used in ancient times. So widespread is the use of mile in both US and UK that they refer to mileage when talking about efficiency of cars and also talk in terms of miles per hour when referring to speeds. Speed is abbreviated as mph and efficiency of a car in terms of fuel is referred to as mpg.
Before it was standardized by US in 1959, the British mile and the US mile differed and there were variations in miles of most of the countries. After the adoption of the metric system in 1959, US declared the definition of yard in terms of kilometer that fixed the issue once and for all. Since then, a mile contains 1760 yards and as such it is equal to 1609.344 meters. (1 yard = 3 feet).
A kilometer is a unit of length in the metric system that contains one thousand meters. This is the distance traveled by light in 1/299792.458 seconds. Kilometer is an accepted unit of distances between geographical places all over the world.
In brief: Mile vs Kilometer • Mile is a unit of measurement of distances in the imperial system still prevalent in the US and UK while kilometer is the unit of measurement in the metric system. • One mile equals 1760 yards and one yard contains 3 feet making it equal to 1609.344 meters. |

When Jason Maddens, the (newly) former executive chef of
Central Michel Richard
, returns to a professional stove again, it will be to chop and stir at the same location in Sterling where he got his start as a line cook in 1998: the now-dark Lone Star Steakhouse at 46116 Lake Center Plaza.
Its replacement, The Bungalow Lakehouse, promises to be the 31-year-old chef's biggest assignment yet. Expected to open by Sept. 1, the 18,000-square-foot project embraces 200 seats in two dining rooms, including a window-fronted area called The Porch; a saloon with as many perches; a 100-seat outdoor terrace; and a cigar lounge.
"This is like coming home for me," says Maddens, who was hired by entrepreneur Keith Early to come up with a menu for the super-sized bungalow. Early co-owns Bungalow Billiards in Chantilly and two Bungalow Ale Houses in Gainesville and Potomac Mills.
Hiring Maddens, says Early, represents "a serious food direction" for his business.
The opening menu at Bungalow Lakehouse will include flatbread pizzas, roast chicken, a pork chop, seared scallops on a sauce of corn chowder and whole grilled trout with arugula and heirloom tomatoes.
"We're not trying to reinvent the wheel," says the chef. Still, he's aiming for lighter sauces made with vegetable purees and intends to incorporate some of the techniques he learned under his former boss, Michel Richard, known for his fondness for contrasting textures. (Cue some soup ladeled over tiny croutons!)
Early's business partner is his wife, Cheryl. For years, she has been collecting antique medicine bottles, Puck political cartoons, Remington bronzes and oyster plates, all of which will help dress their new roost — and free up some space in their farm house and log cabin.

Very comfortable
I was quite pleased with the fit of this shoe, lt is almost like wearing slippers and, really, it added a little bounce to my step. They were on sale so the price made me happy. the color of blue goes well with a pair of jeans or casual pants.
March 12, 2014
Never ordering online again
After ordering several pairs of Clarks online, I've learned that none of their shoes follow a sizing standard. Some are too small, other fit right. For the most part they are running small and this is my 3rd online order that will be returned. It wasn't a 1/2 size too small - it was a full size too small. It'd be nice if Clarks settled on a sizing standard so when you order a pair, you know that you are getting something that will fit.
March 4, 2014
If I could, I would make this my everyday pair
Extremely comfortable! Unfortunately I work in an office that requires dress shoes, but on dress down days, this is my favorite pair. I have worn other slip ons, but this is by far the most comfortable pair I've owned. Given the change, I use them with jeans as well as slacks. No regrets!
February 8, 2014
Great shoe
Stiff out of the box, but broke in quick and easy. I will probably pick up another color as these are pretty fantastic.
February 7, 2014
Vulcan Remus
It's nice style but uncomfortable at new shows. it's hurt on my back feet (Ankle) while walking.
I think I will give it little more breaking and see what's happening.
December 14, 2013
Good looking shoe.
Nice looking, but maybe a little long in the toe area. Seem to fit all right, but extra room there, if that makes sense. Comfy, nice looking.
January 11, 2014
This pair of shoes is good. I am satisfied with it.
December 25, 2013
is so comfortable
This shoe was made for my feet. Color is great and very comfortable.

I love decorative Indian prints, especially on paper because there is so much that you can do with them. Just recently, I made a bird mobile for my window and I used some Indian prints on them in addition to acyclic paints and they came out really pretty. You can use papers for gift wrap but also to make greeting cards, incorporate into your artwork, for mobiles, to decoupage onto boxes and wood furniture, frame, line a dresser drawer, the projects are endless, fun, and often quite inexpensive.
I've even seen people cover folding screens and entire walls with it. That is why I'm really excited to tell you about this sale because it's being offered by the Paper Studio and they stock a huge selection of Indian prints, decorative wrapping paper for all your creative project needs, all at 20% off of everything (except Gocco supplies).

China plans to build an antenna for deep space observation in Argentina's southern Patagonia region, Argentina's foreign ministry announced Wednesday.
The agreement — between Argentina's space agency and China's agency for the control and tracking of satellites — also defines more general "parameters for establishing earth-based installations," and creates a basis for future cooperation, the ministry said.
It emphasized the antenna is "a project of tremendous importance," which will permit Argentina "to develop interplanetary exploration activities, to study deep space and celestial bodies, to monitor and control satellites, and to acquire scientific data."
It is to be built in Neuquen province, the ministry added.
In 2003, China became the third country to use its own equipment to send a person into space.
Argentina's space program is one of the most advanced in Latin America.
The European Space Agency (ESA) is finishing construction of an antenna in Argentina's central-west Mendoza province, to support deep space exploration.

The patch in repoman just commits locally, it does not push. I suppose an operation or option could be added that treats that as if it were a single combined step, but I definitely do not want that as the only choice. There's still a lot of unresolved questions about the precise repository setup and work flow, so simulating it isn't entirely possible yet. One major problem with repoman+git is that a major feature of git is fast commits, but repoman is pretty slow (try a scan in x11-base/xorg-server). Anyone got a good idea for how to deal with this? -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com

Last night I came home and my upstairs bathroom was overflowing and I noticed the water dripped through the floor. How bad is this? |
Follow-Up Postings:

Depends on where the water got through. If it went straight through the floor, that could be pretty bad. If it found un-caulked seems around the base of the toilet or tub, then that's an easy fix. You have several holes built into your floor for pipes to pass through. If it's following those paths, it's no big deal; just seal up your joints with caulk. If the leak was coming through drywall or floorboards, it may indicate a more serious problem and might also lead to mold. |

Mar 29th 2012 12:45PM I'd give trolls a shoe option. It never made sense to me that someone would go through the trouble to wear a full set of armor then not protect their feet.
Breakfast Topic: What are you just not that excited about in Mists? {WoW}
Mar 28th 2012 11:57AM Honestly? The Pandaren. Mists looks like it's going to have many awesome things to look forward to but the Pandaren just isn't one of those things to me.
The trials and tribulations of being a raiding roleplayer {WoW}
Mar 3rd 2012 7:49PM I makes me wonder, what is it about seeing someone in raid gear that makes an someone not want to rp with them? I also have a similar issue when I try to rp. It seems like people would rather try to interact with someone who is clearly afk than with me.
Drama Mamas: Choosing between preferred class and raid leader {WoW}
Feb 20th 2012 2:26PM You can continue playing your rogue AND lead raids if you make your own guild.
Breakfast Topic: What role do you play in your guild? {WoW}
Feb 7th 2012 10:48AM Guild mute. I'm that guy that raids every week but never says a word on vent.
Drama Mamas: Choosing between raiding and friendships {WoW}
Feb 6th 2012 2:12PM Who says you can't be in a different guild and continue being friends at the same time? All of my WoW friends are pvpers and rpers and I personally feel that we aren't any less friends because we are in different guilds doing different things. As long as he continues to maintain contact with his friends they should continue being friends.
Third faction or logistical nightmare? {WoW}
Feb 3rd 2012 8:01PM I'm seeing a lot of comments that talk about which race would hate who and have a reason to break away from their faction and I can't help but wonder, politics aside, after years of fighting alongside each other wouldn't the races have at least KIND OF warmed up to each other by now?
Breakfast Topic: Do you PvP to win or to make the enemy lose? {WoW}
Dec 24th 2011 9:29AM I'm in it to win and I don't mean our team either, I mean me personally. Sure it sounds selfish but I found that I have the most fun pvping when I'm kicking so much ass that I don't even notice that we are losing.
Officers' Quarters: Members turned poachers {WoW}
Dec 12th 2011 9:11AM A spineless man. He should have dumped her right then and there for trying to threaten him into leaving.

Engineering and Admissions FAQ
Questions about Academics
Yes. In fact, approximately 23 percent of Penn Engineering undergraduates pursue dual degree programs with the College, Wharton or Nursing. In addition to regular dual degree options, certain "coordinated dual degree" programs have been established leading to two bachelor's degrees. These include:
- The Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology (M&T)
- Computer and Cognitive Science: Artificial Intelligence
In the above "coordinated dual degree" programs, a student may apply for entry after the first year of study at Penn.
Exceptional students may apply to a graduate program during their junior year. If accepted, certain approved classes taken during the senior year may count towards both the undergraduate and graduate degree. Besides master's programs in engineering, Penn Engineering undergraduates may also pursue sub-matriculation admission into the following schools:
- Penn Law
- The Wharton School (for those in M&T or doing a dual degree with Wharton)
- Dental Medicine
- Veterinary Medicine
- Social Work
- Education
- Fine Arts, City Planning, and Architecture
- Nursing (for those in the Nursing and Technology program)
- Certain Arts and Sciences programs

At this very moment I have a large horseradish root sitting on my counter that I got from the supermarket. Its a little dry, but it should still be perfectly viable for planting and starting my own plant for next season. My question is when is best to actually plant these things? Are they like garlic where I should stick it in soil now and let it sit through the winter, or should I just eat this one now and get another one in spring when I'm doing the rest of my planting? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know but a previous thread on this page seems indicate its OK to plant now. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Horseradish
Excellent, I'll toss the top half in a large container outside and eat the bottom half. If it doesn't grow, well then I'll just get more come spring. |
It should be planted in soil. The container may freeze completely. Although in Zone 7 you will probably get away with it. |
Eh, if it does I'm only out half a grocery store horseradish root. |

Okay, so finally get some tomatoes that do not split, and I've got something eating them - whether green or red. Is it the birds here, or is it caterpillars? About 1/4 - 1/2 of the tomato is gone or there's one hole in it, and then black in the middle. Ugh. |

Likely birds. They generally eat it more for moisture than the fruit itself. Provide a bird friendly fountain (you can make an insect friendly landing area too) and you can reduce the predation while encouraging pollinators and pest eating activity. |
got any pics |
- Posted by pokerguard 10 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 16, 13 at 21:09
here's the tomato. The others, both red and green had 1/2 of the tomato gone. Should I wrap the tomatoes in window screen material? |
- Posted by greendesert (My Page) on Wed, Jun 19, 13 at 15:36
I put my tomatoes in paper bags after the first one attacked by birds. Mockingbirds are notorious for eating tomatoes. and they're bold too, they're not scared by crap like CDs and bird scare tape. I've had to do the same with my grapes, and i've had great results. Putting paper bags on them helps them ripen slower, so they aren't quite as sour. Also I've started picking mine early while they still have green shoulders and I ripen them indoors. they taste way better. The heat just force s them to ripen too fast and they end up tasting sour. |
- Posted by azbookworm Zone 8 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 20, 13 at 11:52
Could also be bugs that are attacking your tomatoes. I have never been lucky with large tomatoes just for this reason. I only grow the small cherry tomato types. |
I grow all kinds of tomatoes and have never seen a bird do that. I also have a ton of birds. I just keep looking at the photo and I don't think a bird did that. Tomato worms will do that, those big beatles will do that. It looks like it started to split and a critter finished the job |
- Posted by pokerguard 10 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 21, 13 at 11:03
Thanks for all the responses. I protected a couple of tomatoes with screen, and they survived. I have my first tomatoes after years of trying. I did look for the tomato worms, as I've had them in the past, but none are present, so I'm guessing it was birds. The tomatoes are Pearson, but it does appear they are subject to splitting, just like all tomatoes out here in Phoenix. I'm going to try Solar Fire tomatoes next and see how they take the heat |
- Posted by AZGardenQueen none (My Page) on Mon, Jun 24, 13 at 23:44
Try "Heat Master" by Bonnie Plants (HD and I think Lowes has it, too). Specifically bred to flower/set fruit at temps at 95 degrees and over; I planted 4 of them and have NO splitting and excellent fruit production so far. Not as flavorful as some of the heirloom varieties, but I guess we can't have everything. Here's a pic of the latest harvest. And that looks like birds to me, which is why I built a completely enclosed (walls, ceiling, door) steel cage for my veggie garden. Which is a bit extreme, but hey, when you've had enough and just want a lousy tomato - LOL! |
I grew Solar Fire last year and they were great - prolific, with no splitting. I tried new varieties this year (especially loved Black Prince), but I'll plant Solar Fire again next year. In this picture from July of last year, they're the larger tomatoes on the right. The others are Husky Cherry, Black Cherry, and Bloody Butcher, which I also have good success with. I should add to the OP that I had the same problem with birds. I had to put netting up after losing so many last year. |

I thought birds too, but am far from an expert. I DID want to say how great your tomato harvest pics are Queenie and Lynne, great stuff! Thanks for sharing the variety names and information. Great job! Happy gardening all! |
- Posted by pokerguard 10 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 29, 13 at 2:41
Thanks all for the responses. I think it is birds. I added some screen around a few tomatoes that were about to get ripe, and they've survived. While others were completely decimated. I'll try solar flare too! |
