Some people might call it an "inferiority complex", but when you're dealing with the sensitive ethnic issues that China's far west province of Xinjiang faces, it's best to call it what it really is. Xinjiang suffers from a "minority complex".
Noun: a feeling that the public's perception of your treatment of minorities is inadequate, sometimes resulting in excessive overcompensation
How can we be for sure that officials in Xinjiang suffer from this minority complex? All it takes is a quick look at the headlines over the past 2 years.
If you've been following the FarWestChina Facebook fanpage (why aren't you a fan?) you'll recognize that these are real headlines from Xinjiang. It is a list of publicity stunts that turn simple Xinjiang minority symbols into a comical farce.
The World's Largest Wooden Plate
At 2.4 meters in diameter, China claims that this is the largest wooden plate in the world. It was built as part of a festival in Shawan county in Xinjiang to celebrate the famous DaPanJi (which literally means "big plate chicken"...hence the big plate) and actually broke a Guinness World Record.
The World's Longest Tablecloth
Chinese officials describe this as the world's longest embroidered tablecloth. With a total length of 90 meters of Kazakh handiwork, this is yet another Xinjiang record that has been recorded by the Guinness Book of Records.
Missing from this record book? The world's longest table. Kinda seems pointless, doesn't it?
China's Oldest Man
At the ripe old age of 123, a Uyghur man named Sadiq Sawut who lives in Kashgar, Xinjiang is considered to be China's oldest living man. No doubt everybody is clamoring to find their way onto this annually published list by the Gerontological Society of China.
The World's Largest Naan Flatbread
30kg of mutton (lamb meat). 125kg of flour. 16kg of onions. 90kg of water. Combine those together and you'll get the world's largest Uyghur naan flatbread. It took 12 men a total of 10 hours to get this thing mixed and baked. Wish I could have seen the oven!
Reports claim that this could feed 10,000 people, but one Facebook fan correctly noted that it obviously wouldn't be 10,000 Uyghur people. They can pound Uyghur naan down!
The World's Longest Horse Sausage
Ok, so this one doesn't claim to break any records, but I can't imagine this happens too often. At least I hope not.
It required a total of 38 horses for these Xinjiang chefs to make a 213-meter sausage that weighs 1,256kg. Appetizing, don't you think?
The World's Largest Minority Dance Group
During the same event where the longest tablecloth was unveiled (see above), organizers also decided to break another coveted record - the world's largest group dance.
17,000 dancers - both professional and amateur, filled the fields of Altay during the kickoff for Xinjiang's Ethnic Culture Tourism Festival. The effort was not in vain, as again yet another Guinness record was achieved.
The World's Largest National Park
Finally, in 2007 China vowed to make the Kanas Lake Reserve in Xinjiang into the world's largest national park. At the time the park only covered 1,000 sq km, but should soon cover over 9,000 sq km.
Why make this distinction in an autonomous region in Xinjiang? There's no other explanation than the fact that Xinjiang has a minority complex.
Plain. And. Simple.

The road ahead twists and turns up into the hillside, its surface glistening with rain, the trees flecked with the first hints of autumn. On a bright, sunny day, this would be sports-car heaven, but we're approaching the road with trepidation. Of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the Dodge Viper SRT10 coupe, and the Ford GT, only the Corvette has traction and stability control--and all have superwide tires and 500 hp or more.
The Corvette leads the way. As if 505 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque in these conditions weren't enough of a handful, we turn off all of the electronic aids. (OK, we're a little bit crazy.) This is what we discover: The Corvette is sensational on these roads, whether we're sliding around second-gear hairpins or blasting through fourth-gear sweepers. The 7.0-liter pushrod V-8 sounds amazing when you bury the throttle, emitting a deep, hard-edged growl that wells in volume with revs. There is plenty of thrust available in the seam of the torque mine, even though maximum power is developed at 6300 rpm and this ultimate small-block will rev smartly all the way to seven grand.
The Z06 is the most expensive and powerful production Corvette yet, with a base price of $65,800. It has eighteen-inch-diameter front and nineteen-inch rear wheels shod with 275/35 and 325/30 tires, yet the ride is well controlled and beautifully damped as we crest brows and plunge into dips. Traction is amazing, too, except when you goose the throttle in the lower gears in tight corners. Correct with the steering, relax the pressure on the gas pedal, and the car resumes a neutral path.
Everything gels in the Z06 once you're into its operating mode. At low speeds, it feels like a regular C6 Corvette, but once you get serious, this is a different animal--hardly surprising, because virtually every component has been changed. The vented and cross-drilled disc brakes are powerful and reassuring, even if the pedal is a little bit soft on initial acquaintance, and the steering talks to you the more you coax it. The shifter is a bit clunky, but you don't need to stir it that often.
With your pulse rate quickened and your senses working overtime, it's time to stop and gather your thoughts--and turn your attention to the car behind you, the sinister-looking black 2006 Viper coupe. The Dodge feels pretty darned big after the relatively compact Corvette. It also lacks traction control, has even wider 345/30YR-19 rear tires, and makes more torque.
Floor the throttle in second gear, even on the streaming road surface, and you'll realize that the Viper's huge 500-hp, 8.3-liter pushrod OHV V-10 has a softer, more gentle power delivery than the Corvette. Ninety percent of the peak torque of 525 lb-ft is produced between 1500 and 5600 rpm, and it's delivered in a very smooth and almost undramatic manner, an impression enhanced by the muted swoosh from the side pipes. The lack of fuss and bother is disconcerting, because you don't realize you're always traveling at 80 mph and more until you glance at the speedometer.
The Viper's shifter is so ponderous that you change gears when necessary rather than for pleasure. Although the car tends to wander a bit over surface imperfections, it rides big bumps pretty well, and the brake pedal has a wonderfully solid, fast response, as though the car were engineered for racers by racers. (Which, in truth, it was: Chrysler's Street and Racing Technology top brass likes to frequent racetracks, and Viper Club members asked for the coupe to satisfy their need for speed, which is denied by those track owners who won't let open cars run without a roll bar.)
The Viper gobbles up the short straightaways on these roads and is surprisingly deft around even the tighter corners. The steering, which is meatily weighted and full of wriggly feel, is excellent, while the car turns in sharply and obediently. Some 31 percent stiffer than the Viper roadster, according to SRT, the coupe feels sharper, more alive, more integrated.
As we round a long left-hand bend, we spot a suitable roadside parking space and stop the Viper, brakes sizzling, engine gently ticking after its exertions. Next up is the Ford GT. We have been working our way up to this one, because it has 550 hp, lacks stability aids, and is mid-engined. Just as we fire up the supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V-8 engine, the rain starts to fall harder. Great! If ever there was a disaster looking for a place to happen, this is it.
Yet it doesn't. The GT, too, is user-friendly, although you need to be more watchful in it. It is more of a precision instrument than the other two, with quicker and lighter steering and more rapid turn-in. But with its mid-engined layout, this is the most tail-heavy of the three, and you sometimes feel the load transferring abruptly onto the outside rear tire. You still travel at warp speed across the hinterlands of Appalachia, but your palms are a bit sweatier at the end of the stint. It feels big, too, although not large enough to tackle the half-dozen cows that suddenly appear on the roadside as we crest a brow.

Ultra-Lite Anti-Aging Cellular Repair makes the same antiwrinkle, our-peptides-pack-a-punch claims as several other Peter Thomas Roth products. Peptides are present in this product, but there is no proof they can affect collagen and elastin production or improve the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines. The smattering of antioxidants is not helped by jar packaging. All plant extracts, vitamins, antioxidants, and other state-of-the-art ingredients break down in the presence of air, so once a jar is opened and lets the air in these important ingredients begin to deteriorate. Jars also are unsanitary because you're dipping your fingers into them with each use, adding bacteria which further deteriorate the beneficial ingredients. Lastly, this contains a skin-confusing blend of helpful and irritating plant extracts, making it a poor contender for anti-aging and cellular repair.
A ultra lightweight moisturizer formulated with our patent pending Firma-CELL-4™ anti-aging peptide technology. Firma-CELL-4™ combines wrinkle relaxing peptides to promote fimer, tighter skin. Collagen and elastin help tone, smooth and lift skin reducing the appearance of fine lines and the severity of deep wrinkles. Skin becomes smoother, firmer and regains a more youthful looking appearance.

Unique in the world of spa and salon specialty lines, Peter Thomas Roth is a large but straightforward line with mostly uncomplicated formulations that, for the most part, are quite good and state-of-the-art. Unlike many product lines, most of the acne, AHA, BHA, sunscreen, and moisturizing products contain what they should to be effective and helpful for skin.
A novel aspect of this line is that there are few (if any) nonsense ingredients. Roth products conspicuously lack the exotic, potentially irritating, sensitizing, and often unnecessary plant extracts and the irritating, fragrant plant oils that show up in most pricey skin-care lines, especially spa lines. Many of these products don't have fragrance, and they lack the long lists of ingredients that are often unnecessarily complicated. Even more impressive are the well-formulated cleansers, sunscreens, AHA products, and skin lighteners. The moisturizers have improved somewhat, and most are now packaged so that the light- and air-sensitive ingredients remain stable. In fact, Roth's packaging deserves special mention because it is exceptionally utilitarian and gender-friendly. No pretty pink bottles, sexy curved jars, or bejeweled caps—all of which reinforce the clinical nature of Peter Thomas Roth. Overall, this line should be admired for its simplicity and, for the most part, for its well-thought-out formulations.
After all that glowing praise there are a few embarrassing missteps to avoid, such as products that contain hydrogen peroxide, which can cause free-radical damage and hurt skin; irritating acne products that contain sulfur; unimpressive masks (odd for a spa-oriented line); and a bumper crop of products claiming to affect expression lines and wrinkles in a manner similar to cosmetic corrective procedures.

French Guiana is home to unparalleled biodiversity. It hosts unique ecosystems which are among the richest and most fragile in the world: primary tropical forests, mangroves, savannahs, and numerous types of wetland area.
With 83.1% of its territory covered by equatorial rainforest, French Guiana is home to the largest forest in France.
No less than 5,750 plant species, 718 species of birds, 183 species of mammals, 480 species of freshwater fish and 108 species of amphibians have been inventoried in French Guiana. It is likely that the diversity of invertebrates is 10 times greater than that of mainland France. Some 92% of French Guiana's coastline and all the banks of its estuaries are covered in mangroves which provide shelter to very distinctive fauna and flora, as well as nesting and feeding sites for a large number of birds.
Five species of marine turtle are also found in the waters, and on the beaches, of French Guiana. Awala-Yalimapo beach is the most important breeding ground in the world for the Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), the largest of the marine turtle species. Read more

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Pope Francis Refers to 'gay lobby' inside Vatican
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
June 12th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Pope Francis referred for the first time, to the existence of a "gay lobby" inside the Vatican. The acknowledgment came during an audience with Latin American Catholic leaders of religious communities. VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - During his audience with a group of Latin American Catholic leaders of religious communities, Pope Francis said there was a "current of corruption" within the Curia, which governs the Catholic Church. He also referred to the existence of the "gay lobby" which until now has only been a rumor.Speaking in Spanish, Francis said: "in the Curia, there are truly some saints, but there is also a current of corruption." "There is talk of a gay lobby and it's true it exists. We will have to see what we can do," Francis added. Pope Francis explained "I cannot carry out the reforms myself." Francis explained that he was still very disorganized. The existence of a gay lobby began to circulate last year as part of the Vatileaks scandal. The rumors gained more traction following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI. Pope Francis is one of the few Vatican insiders to see a secret report that purportedly reveals elements of corruption within the Curia. Because that report has not been shared aside from very few people, it remains unclear just what it contains. Although the Holy Father has admitted to being disorganized, and that he will need help in cleaning up any corruption within the Curia, he has at least acknowledged that a concern exists. At this time, it is inappropriate to speculate how significant the problem may be, and if this gay lobby has any influence over church doctrine or decisions. Given the fact that the church remains steadfast on protecting the sanctity of marriage, and continues to deliver a consistent message on human ethics, morality, and sexuality, it is a stretch to assume that the gay lobby can do much harm to the church. Still, it is an issue that Pope Francis himself will have to fully address and, has already begun. Pope Francis has already taken steps to ensure that the Curia is rid of any kind of corruption. One of his first acts as Pope was to form a council comprised of eight Cardinals to provide recommendations on how to reform the Vatican. Actions such as these show Pope Francis's commitment to the integrity and health of the Holy Church. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

although probably not the best for soft stemmed shrubs, I use the aluminum marking tags with wire that I get at theodore payne foundation in CA. Found them online at gemplers.com |

You guys make me feel like white trash (LOL). I cut up venation blinds, sand them and write on them. Hey, That is one step up from cutting up yogurt containers. Mostly I reuse plant markers from the store and write on the other side. I was born a cheapskate. -Mara |

Salviakeeper and Mara: My garden is on tour this year so I am looking for a "Botanical Garden" look without the large expence of something engraved. I should have been more specific in my post. Thank You both for the great ideas. Art |

I saw someone tell about using cut up tin or aluminum cans and scratching or stamping them. |

I've been looking for the best prices on the metal plant markers. I haven't yet purchased these, so I can't report on the quality. I had saved this link -- 25 markers for $13.50 seems like a good price. Cameron |
Here is a link that might be useful: plant markers
I don't have a specific answer to your question, Art, but I've been to LOTS of Garden Tours. It is especially nice to have the lovely plants labeled with something large enough to find AND read. So, please use something large-ish for us old folks. :-) |

Cameron & Westelle: I am needing about 300 for my daylilies and about that for my Salvias and other plant material I found 100 for 37.75 g series which I think has a nicer look with one bar not two. Westelle the plates are 1 1/4" Tall and 3 1/2' wide and I am putting Botanical Name w "Cultivar" then Country or hybridizer Below that I think it should be big enough for most to read as they will stand about 10" Tall. What do you all think? Art |
- Posted by wonbyherwits z7b NC (My Page) on Thu, Apr 8, 10 at 11:58
300! Oh my! Your garden must be fabulous. I looked through my photos and you are including the same info (example pic below) that I see when I visit botanical gardens. I think you'll be so happy you documented and labeled. |
I have some metal markers about that size and I can get the latin name and the popular name, but that's it. If it's important I put the "where I got it" on the back. wonbyherwits: those markers would be wonderful, but very expensive. |

Despite Vybz Kartel's conviction on a murder chargeon Thursday, his family and fans are clinging on the smallest bit of hope the deejay can beat his current predicament, as dire as it may be.
His fans in particular are going to the extremes to try and secure and out for the self-professed 'Worl' Boss' as they have petitioned the United States government to help free him. The petition, started this weekend, claims thatVybz Kartel did not receive a fair trial in the Clive 'Lizard' Williams case, which he and three co-accused were convicted of his August 2011 murder.
It goes on to claim evidence tampering by police during their investigation, citing alleged corruption and bias against him throughout. With over 700 signatures to date, the petition is hoping to secure 100,000 signatures by April 14 so it can be formally presented to U.S. President Barack Obama's administration.

Lenten Reflection for Day 40
Date: Holy Saturday April 7, 2012
Author: Howard Shaffer
Bible Passage: Ezekiel 34:11–12 (NRSV)
11 For thus says the Lord God: I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. 12 As shepherds seek out their flocks when they are among their scattered sheep, so I will seek out my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places to which they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness.
Ezekiel was a prophet who lived in exile in Babylon and was there waiting for the Jews when those who were taken in captivity arrived. The exiles had been marched from their destroyed homeland to the capital of their conquerors as captive slaves. Imagine their despair!! Some or many may have lost faith, given up hope, and turned away from God.
In the first part of the chapter for today's reading, Ezekiel describes the sad and terrible history of the sheep. They were scattered and killed because their leaders failed them. The leaders were concerned with their own comfort and not their job as leaders.
In today's verses, God assures the faithful that he has a plan, and he himself will rescue them.
Does all this sound familiar? Are we in a time when leaders have failed and the sheep are wandering? Do we have the responsibility to be new leaders who follow and spread God's word? We can be assured that God has a plan for each of us and for the world.
That plan is Salvation through belief in Jesus Christ and eternal life!!!
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for being our shepherd when earthly leaders have failed us. Thank you for the guidance you have given us through the prophets, through Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Spirit. Tomorrow as we celebrate Christ's resurrection, help us to be thankful all the time, and to be the leaders in faith, in the plan you have for us and for Community Lutheran Church.

I Shouldn't Have To Write This…
As I sit down to write tonight, my heart is very heavy. What I am about to write, no one should ever have to write. This may seem to conflict what I posted last night, but I honestly think it goes perfectly together. Today, something happened… Something that really isn't uncommon, unfortunately… But someone needs to say something, and hopefully this can help at least one person. Some people are going to call me paranoid, but I would rather be called paranoid and help one naive person out there, than sit here and say nothing at all. Because of my personal beliefs on this issue, I can't sit here silently. So, please listen… especially young people.
To celebrate my 10,000th tweet, I decided to give away a munkiebabble.com hoodie to a follower on Twitter.
The contest is closed. CONGRATULATIONS to @mayfieldfan4eve!
To enter the contest, entrants must have been following my Twitter account (@MunkieBabble) at the time of the drawing, and sent out the tweet exactly as it appears on this page. Sending the tweet out more than once did not increase chances of winning.
THE RULES OF THE CONTEST APPEAR BELOW: Continue reading »
Munkie Versus "New" Twitter
The other night I opened Twitter and found that I had been "invited" to use what has been "tagged" as #newtwitter. For those who haven't used Twitter, adding a # (hashtag) in front of any word makes it "linkable." Clicking on any word tagged with a # in front of it will bring you to the latest mentions of it. Some examples of popular "tags" are: #fail #bethankful #happy #justinbieber (You guys knew I'd throw that in there) — On with what I am really writing about. In short, I was invited to use the new version of Twitter, and while I think it is over-all a great idea…. Continue reading »
Why is the Munkie on Twitter?
Everyone who knows me, knows I have Twitter accounts. Yes, multiple. For several different "kinds" of posts. Some have dubbed me, "The Twitter Queen." Pretty much everything I think goes on Twitter. That's the point of it, right? Well, with opening my @MunkieBabble account to the public, I have invited nearly 10,000 random people to read all about what I call, "My Life." I will explain in more detail why I use Twitter. You'll be surprised. Continue reading »

More than 550 parishioners gathered in the sanctuary of St . Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church Wednesday evening mass as part of the daylong celebration of the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The feast began Wednesday with mass at 5 a.m. and reconvened at 6 p.m. for a special processional, Rosary, Mass and reception.
The 2012 celebration attracted 583 celebrants, the largest and most diverse turnout since 2002, when the local church first observed the feast day.
Though the religious holiday is widely observed in Latin America and the Western United States, the whole St. Therese Parish embraces the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, also known as the Virgin of Guadalupe, is a celebrated Roman Catholic icon of the Virgin Mary. The queen of Mexico was once proclaimed Patroness of the Philippines, but that title was later revised by Pope Pius XI in 1935. In 1999, Pope John Paul II proclaimed the Virgin Mary as Patroness of the Americas, Empress of Latin America, and Protectress of Unborn Children under the Marian title.
Accounts published in the 1640s tell of a poor peasant, Juan Diego, walking from his village to Mexico City in the early morning of Dec. 9, 1531, to observe the Feast of the Immaculate Conception as celebrated in the Spanish Empire.
During his journey, Juan Diego saw a vision of a 15- or 16-year-old girl surrounded by light on the slopes of the Hill of Tepeyac.
Speaking to him in Nahuatl, the local language, she asked that a church be built at the site in her honor. From her words, Diego recognized the young girl as the Virgin Mary.
Diego told his story to Spanish Archbishop Fray Juan de Zumárraga, who instructed him to return to Tepeyac Hill and ask the lady for a miraculous sign to prove her identity.
The Virgin told Diego to gather flowers from the top of Tepeyac Hill. Though December was very late in the growing season for flowers, Diego found Castilian roses on the usually barren hilltop. The roses are not native to Mexico. The Virgin Mary arranged the flowers in his peasant tilma cloak.
When Juan Diego opened the cloak before Bishop Zumárraga on Dec. 12, the flowers fell to the floor. In their place was the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, miraculously imprinted on the fabric.
The icon is displayed in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, one of the most visited Marian shrines.
The icon is Mexico's most popular religious and cultural image.

BoM v.42: Side 9
April 29, 2011 in World 042 News, World News, Worlds 41-50 News
Hooray for late blogs! And apologies for them as well. (Apologies also to British people. I love you folks. I really do. Acce) I'm hoping to be able to go back to a regular (and on time) schedule starting this weekend. We'll see if I can pull that off…
Blogger Goes Philosophical…
…and doesn't have enough people talking to her. >.> I'd hoped to add in perspectives from a large group of people, but unfortunately I wasn't able to drag enough folks into answering.
The question: "People often talk about TW (Tribal Wars) and RL (real life) as though there were clearly separate. I want your opinion on this. Are the two separate, and if so, where is the border between them?"
"I don't separate them now. I used to, but that's because I actually met Princess and am gonna again in November. I met her last month. Before that, I really did seperate TW and RL. I think most [people] do."
-lodi1970 (keanosmagic), member of Dos X"The real question is, 'Where is the line between panda and person?'"
-RaginPanda, member of ModWar"Well, TW is def not RL. In RL, I would never send armies out to kill poor villagers."
-bcruss (Evocablepanic), member of ModWar"TW is an on-line community (and game) to get away from RL. Some people would then think the absence of RL is then TW as RL. The line lies where the player wants it to. In some cases, this could mean a full immersion into TW as RL and a complete absence of RL in that individual.
For me, as I have work, I can keep away from TW (and, therefore, keep my RL life) as with any other game I play (as in a casual basis of a few hours a day)."
-Zord Gaf, elder mod who was in the unfortunate position of talking to me while I was working on this
In addition to these answers, I had one person say he'd get back to me, one person say it was a bad question, and one person say it was depressing. Also, one of those answers was supposed to be more complete, but…
Anyway, on to my thoughts about it. I realize the question was vague. I intentionally left it fairly open-ended. I'd hoped to see where people went with it.
Druid's Thoughts
The critical aspect to determining where TW and RL diverge is defining what each is. I will begin by defining RL as being real life and every part of it.
TW as the online game is certainly real. The code is real. The computers that you and I use to access the game are real. The developers, despite being robots, are real. TW takes up a real amount of time in my life and in the lives of everyone else reading this, and it takes a real monetary investment from many of us as well. In this sense, TW is most definitely a part of RL.
In another way of thinking TW, is also real. I'm real. Everyone I've interacted with is real (or I think they are, at least). The mods who've warned, infracted, and even banned me (Morthy, I love you too…) are real. My tribemates are real, and the enemy players are real. Those people answering support tickets are real, as are the ones keeping us all in line on the forums. The active forum posters and the trolls are real, as are the lurkers. Everyone who reads this blog is real. All the people here are real, and together we form a real community. In this sense, TW as the community of people is also a part of RL.
The aforementioned definition of RL is clearly not consistent with the assumption that RL and TW are distinct. It also doesn't fit with the acronym IRL (in real life). IRL is used to refer to the speaker's (or writer's) life offline. This leads to a new definition of RL, which is much more consistent with the term's usage. RL is not simply real life in general, but rather offline life. RL is the absence of TW and other online experiences. RL is what happens when a person is away from TW. I must also explicitly define TW for that definition to be relevant. TW is the experiences that happen while playing the game, and it is also the directly related personal interactions (ie. Skype chats with other players about the game).
For me, RL is school and friends. It's building and programming a robot, and it's sweeping wisteria flowers off the front steps. RL is stressing out about having too much homework, and it's getting together with classmates to play D&D. RL is much more than that, but I'm gonna try not to bore you poor readers with all the mundane details of my life.
TW is friends as well, but it's a different set of friends. It's people I've never met in person but who I've gotten to know over the past year and a half. It's timing attacks and support, and it's grumbling with annoyance when I log on to a bunch of untagged incomings. TW is looking up stats to back up my argument on the externals, and it's putting together maps for the blog. There is more, of course, but again, that's boring details.
However, some things aren't so clear cut. As I write this, I'm sitting in my programming classroom after school. I'm watching my math teacher from last year walk a student through a math problem on one of the white boards in the front of the room. I'm listening to the distracting chatter of several girls on the other side of the room and wondering why they don't have anywhere better to be. I'm sitting next to a girl who is taking a test she missed earlier this week. I just ate a bunch of raisins because I was hungry and that was the only food available. In all of this, I'm still thinking about TW, and I'm working on this blog post. Is this RL, or is it TW? Another example. (I would like to ask that any British readers not take offense at this one. I simply enjoy playing the part of the ignorant American from time to time. I love you all, particularly your accents.) Some of my friends IRL (in other words, friends I know through some connection other than TW) have heard me talk about people I know through TW. A few weeks ago, I got into a conversation with several friends in my Mandarin class about British people. We were discussing the fact that there really isn't anything special about them other than their accents, and the only thing they have to be proud of is fish and chips (which aren't even real chips because Brits are weird like that). I mentioned a British friend I know from TW with whom I often argue "Britain vs. America." I said that the argument he finally falls back on when I've shot down everything else he has to say is that the British have fish and chips. Does this bring TW into RL? Third example. Not all social interaction that happens between people who meet in TW is about the game. I've gotten to know numerous people, and I've heard about their lives outside of the game. I know about their families and their jobs, school and friends. I'm pretty sure most everyone knows the basic facts about me. My name is Rebecah. I'm 16. I'm female. I go to high school. Beyond that, I have an obsession with banana slugs, and I love nature. I want to study the ocean. I build robots for fun, and I'm a member of the school math team. I stress about homework a lot, and people often have the distinct pleasure of listening to me whine and gripe about that. I have also had various political and philosophical conversations with people I know through this game. Two examples of topics are gun control and nuclear power, both of which are distinctly unrelated to anything set in the middle ages. This interaction is with people I know from the game, so is it TW? Or is it RL because it is about things other than TW? Final example. I know several people who play together in TW and are in a relationship IRL. Some of these relationships existed before the people entered the game, and other people met precisely because of the game. In some situations, siblings play the game, or best friends, or a parent and child. When they interact in the game, is this part of TW? Or is it RL for them because they know each other? When they discuss the game at a time when they aren't actively playing, is this TW or RL?
I'm gonna wrap up this rambling now. Just a little food for thought. Lots of unanswered questions in that massive block of text up there. If anyone wants to give their input on this, please comment away. Also, if anyone wants to threaten me and tell me never to make another philosophical blog like this again on pain of gruesomely brutal death, you're welcome to do so as well (but I may still do this again if I ever need a topic and can't think of something doable in the time frame I have available).
I should have another blog coming out this weekend. Supposedly, it will be about TROUT's leadership system, if I can force any of those hooligans to submit to an interview. If not, I'll make up something random that readers will have to deal with. For next weekend, I'm thinking that YAY need some spotlight time. If anyone has suggestions for beyond that, please let me know. I'm having something of an inspiration drought.

Does anyone know when the new models come out? Looking for a double oven range with induction cooktop and only see 1. Would like a few choices. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Appliances debut randomly. It is not like the automobile industry of old where the new models come out in early fall. That Whirlpool two oven induction range just came out. I wouldn't hold my breath. |
Sales of old pricier designs going out of production at least for a while, happen in the spring before factories go on summer vacation. Not fixed in stone every year, but some companies like Sears do tend to push for big sale orders on some of their Kenmore big kitchen appliances in April-May for June delivery. There is sometimes a similar fall wave of intro sales after summer vacation when factories get busy on assembling newer designs. |

- A frequent need to urinate, especially at night
- Difficulty starting or stopping a stream of urine
- A weak or interrupted urinary stream
- Leaking of urine when laughing or coughing
- Inability to urinate standing up
- A painful or burning sensation during urination or ejaculation
