NFL Pro Bowl Hawaii return scores biggest TV audience for game since 2000
by: Catherine E. Tothposted: Tue Feb 01, 2011 at 12:43 AM
The return of the NFL Pro Bowl to Hawaii after a year away scored the biggest TV audience for the all-star game since 2000.
According to Nielsen TV ratings, the 2011 Pro Bowl, broadcast on the FOX Network, drew 12.4 million viewers, an uptick of 37 percent from the game's 2010 ratings. After hosting the game in Miami last year, the National Football League moved the Pro Bowl back to Oahu's Aloha Stadium, for the first game of a two-year contract keeping it in Hawaii. Prior to the one-year move to Miami, the all-star game had been played in the Islands every year since 1980.
Hawaii is paying $4 million per game to hold the Pro Bowl this year and in 2012. The NFL hasn't selected Pro Bowl locations for 2013 and beyond.
The NFC all-stars defeated the AFC all-stars in Sunday's game, 55-41.
Only 49,331 tickets were issued for Sunday's Aloha Stadium Pro Bowl return—the second smallest ticket distribution ever. About 45,000 fans attended the game, which had been a sellout in each of its previous years at Aloha Stadium.
A factor in lower Hawaii fan attendance may have been the all-star game's lack of any players from this year's top AFC and NFC conference teams: the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers, facing off in next Sunday's Super Bowl XLV. The 2011 Pro Bowl marked the second year in a row that the game was held a week before the Super Bowl instead of a week after it.
Still, according to multiple news outlets, NFL players selected for the all-star game seemed happy to have the game back in Hawaii. Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis told the Associated Press yesterday that playing the Pro Bowl in Hawaii was reward enough for being named to the all-star team.
The biggest TV audience the Pro Bowl has drawn was 13.5 million viewers in 1997.

ReadyMade, How to Make (Almost) Everything: A Do-It-Yourself Primer
- http://www.readymademag.com/store/
- $15 (US, estimated)
- Buy from amazon.com
This whimsical instructional guide from the folks at ReadyMade magazine (a sort of sister publication to Make) shows you how to make useful objects from things formerly destined for the dustbin: a ceiling fan constructed from an old bike wheel and a plastic bowl, a wine rack rigged from coat hangars, a dog bed fashioned from an old pair of blue jeans, a rug assembled from shopping bags, a picture frame made out of a hardback book. Half the joy of this book came from seeing how the authors breathed new life into unwanted junk. The other half came from the way it inspired me to start thinking of novel uses for the neglected stuff in my own garage.

capable of accurately ripping 4x8 sheets of 3/4 in veneer plywood. Or am I better off renting? TIA |

Let me elaborate on the prior post. About 20 years ago, I lost a great woodworking shop as part of a divorce settlement that turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. For all that time, I've lived a bachelor life in apartments and condos and pretty much forgot everything I ever knew about woodworking. I've now met and married the most wonderful woman in the world. We've recently purchased a fixer-upper and are planning to do most of the work ourselves. Hence, I've found my woodworking muse again. Now comes the long process of rebuilding my workshop. I thought I'd start with building some custom bookcases/storage cabinets, hence the table saw. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about what's happening out there in the tool world today. Please be patient with me and wish me luck. Good to be back in the fold and to have found such a great resource. For the young whippersnappers out there, no such thing as this forum existed 20 years ago. This is definitely a blessing to be counted. |

I'd rather see you spend half that on a good circular saw, excellent blade, and a straight edge guide. Trying to wrestle a 4x8 sheet on anything but a large table saw with side and outfeed tables is a balancing act. Your results would likely be no better than a circular saw. If you asked me the best way to cut parts for storage cabinets, I'd suggest using a circular saw to cut them to 1/16" over-size and trim on a good table saw. |
A panel saw is about the best thing for large sheet goods. A table saw needs extension tables, in-feed rollers, out-feed rollers, and takes up a very large amount of space. Decent panel saws are around $2,000. The ones with plastic tubing on U-bolts are crap. Unless you are going to do a lot of large sheet work, a decent portable circular saw to break panels down is a good alternative. Cutting slightly oversize (1/4 inch) with finish cuts on a table saw using a cross cut sled and a good rip fence works pretty well. |
Third to the circular saw and edge guide. I have done sheet goods both ways---the circ. saw method takes more time, but is WAAAAAAY safer!!!!!!!!! A good circ. saw is a DeWalt/PC/Makita/Bosch----not a B&D/cheap Skil/Ryobi/etc. The straight edge can be anything from a piece of plywood(factory edge) to a several hundred dollar system. I have a really old two piece(8+' long when assembled) aluminum straight edge that has to be clamped in place. I also have a clamp type straight edge that is 50" long. |

The short answer is no. Ripping a 4x8 sheet good requires a full size saw and infeed/outfeed table/rollers and perhaps a helper. Use a circular saw, a good blade, and a straight edge. You can also use a piece of rigid foam insulation as a base. |
I have a Craftsman saw I tried to rip 4x8. After doing it with 1 sheet, I went back to the circ saw and a straight edge. I keep hearing recommendations about using the foam sheet under the saw and I think I'll try that the next time I need to rip big sheets. |
- Posted by bobsmyuncle (My Page) on Mon, Jun 8, 09 at 14:12
Or you could go whole hog (see the link). Frankly, I'd have to have a persistent and critical need for something like that to shell out table saw money for a circular saw. It won't do 10% of what a table saw can do. I have one of their sanders and it works extremely well. Whether it works 3 times as well as a Bosch, I'm not sure, but it costs about three times as much. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Festool
- Posted by mike_kaiser (My Page) on Tue, Jun 9, 09 at 9:26
I've never tried using foam as a base when ripping mainly because didn't have a place to store it after I was done. I wouldn't throw out a perfectly good piece of foam. ;-) Certainly a Festool saw would be the perfect solution but it would probably cost twice the original budget. I think the saw alone is in the neighborhood of $500 and then you'd need another rail. |
The hard foam---blue insulating kind---is used and you set the circular saw blade so it just clears the material being cut. That piece of foam can last for years. The Festool folks have a package deal---saw/straight edge with saw mounting plate to fit the straight edge---they also have router mounting plates as well. There are less expensive alternates as well. |
I made this bookcase last summer. The photo below is just before I put the finish on it and some of the edge banding for the shelves had not been completed. I used a circular and aluminum straight edge to cut the beaded knotty pine plywood in the back. I have a pretty nice Jet contractor's saw and it was too dangerous for me to try to feed the plywood through the saw. I realized that if I was going to cut a lot of plywood with a table saw, I was going to have to spend time to upgrade my shop with proper stands and outfeed tables (I have a outfeed table that was too small to do this). So, if you are going to cut plywood every now and then, it is easier and safer to go with a circular saw. Or, buy the plywood from a home center like Lowes or Home Depot and get them to make initial cuts on the panel saw in their store. |

Hi All,
I bought a beautiful Swan (it looks just like a swan) gourd in Vermont about 2 weeks ago and have it sitting out on my front porch. I want to dry it out and turn it into a bird house. Should I bring it inside before it freezes? How do I go about drying it? How long does it take? Any advice would be so helpful. Do I make the holes for the birds now or wait until it has dried out?
Follow-Up Postings:
See the drying post about two posts down. Most of that will apply. Don't drill holes til gourd is completely dry, or it will rot. It has to feel like balsa wood. It can take a few weeks to a few months. Has to dry from inside out, so some take longer than others. Freezing will not hurt it, but I have read that the seeds will not be viable for planting it they freeze before drying. The nice pretty green skin will turn to a horrible scummy mouldy appearence. This is a normal part of the drying process. As long as your gourd is solid and not thin shelled, it will turn out OK and will eventually dry completely. Good luck. |

On Tuesday, November 12, Nebraska Senate candidate Ben Sasse walked into Mitch McConnell's office to clear the air. Contrary to the rumors, Sasse wanted to say, he hadn't secretly vowed to oppose McConnell's leadership if elected. In fact, he hadn't been asked to make such a pledge and would never have even considered it.
That was the plan, anyway.
Republicans in Washington familiar with these kinds of sessions say the Kentucky Republican's specialty is long, tension-filled pauses. But even for McConnell, this was awkward. Josh Holmes, McConnell's top political hand, privately told friends afterward it was the most uncomfortable meeting he'd been in.
Following the initial exchange came a series of questions about exactly when Sasse had first interacted with Matt Hoskins, the hard-charging executive director of SCF working to elect McConnell's primary challenger, Matt Bevin, in Kentucky.
Sasse's answers, several Republicans familiar with the episode say, did nothing to mitigate the minority leader's anger.
As he walked out of the room, Sasse turned to Holmes — "That didn't go well!"
The nation's youngest university president (Nebraska's Midland University), Sasse has become the latest collateral damage in a GOP civil war between McConnell and Holmes, on the one side, and Matt Hoskins and Heritage Foundation president Jim DeMint, Hoskins's political godfather.
After Hoskins invaded enemy territory October 18 in backing Bevin, McConnell has launched a campaign against his vendors, his allies, and candidates he has endorsed — beginning with a blacklisting of GOP ad firm Jamestown Associates.
Last week, for example, pressure from McConnell allies convinced SCF's bookkeeper, Lisa Lisker, to part ways with the group. Lisker has previously worked for Republican candidates locked in tense primary elections without incident, sources say.
But with Majority Leader Harry Reid detonating the nuclear option in the background, the notion that his accountant had become part of an intra-GOP war incensed Hoskins. "It's amazing that the Senate Republican leader is now bullying bookkeepers in his war on conservatives, but it won't stop us from supporting Matt Bevin," he says.

Shepard Fairey
Introducing the American artist Shepard Fairey is a bit like explaining whose portrait he famously altered for the "Hope" campaign that was widely used by Barack Obama's supporters in 2008. Since the mid 1980s he has created outstanding (then: street) art that is strong, iconic and expressive. Shepard Fairey is also a thoughtful, committed, and outspoken activist who revives the artistic virtues of standing up for the freedom of speech and fighting for rational and non-corporate ways of dealing with the issue of copyright.

State legislators discuss California budget during 'Big Politics'
California state legislators participated in a round table discussion Thursday about how the state's budget crisis relates to higher education funding, in the USU Grand Salon.
Few CSUN students attended the second of three events in the A.S. sponsored series "Big Politics" to hear guests Coby King, the Chair Elect of the Valley Industry and Commerce Association, Eric Anders, founder and owner of the Wood Ranch restaurant chain, Democratic Senator Kevin deLeon and Republican Assemblyman Cameron Smyth discuss how California's budget crisis relates to higher education funding.
Business law major and student body President Amanda Flavin represented CSUN students in the discussion.
"It seems to me that if we don't continue to fund higher education, then we are cutting off our noses to spite our faces," said King, who believes that a qualified and educated workforce is essential to grow California's economy.
While all of the invited speakers agreed about the importance of funding higher education in California, they had differing opinions about how to grow the economy and fix the state's revenue shortfall.
Sen. deLeon explained that unlike the federal budget, which can run a deficit, California's constitution requires the state budget be balanced each year.
The current economic crisis has severely reduced state tax revenues. DeLeon explained the only choices for closing California's $9.2 billion budget shortfall are to cut services and social programs, raise taxes, or a combination of both.
"We're dealing with a very difficult period, especially for those who have historically been marginalized…single mothers with children, the blind, the disabled, and in this case here at Cal State Northridge, college age students," deLeon said.
DeLeon urged students to vote for Governor Brown's revenue package ballot initiative in order to stave off further budget cuts to California's higher education system.
"Is taxing the rich unfair to the rich? Maybe, bu who cares?" said King who thinks Governor Brown's initiative strikes the right balance in an effort to raise revenue without hurting economic growth through higher taxes.
Smyth opposes Brown's revenue initiative, because he feels higher taxes for the wealthy will hurt job growth in California's struggling economy.
"It's going to be tough to keep going to the well," Smyth said. "There's no one more mobile than a millionaire and their money. At some point you see an erosion of the business sector. I worry that those job creators, that are going to give you guys jobs, when you get out, they're not going to be in California, and they're not going to be here in the valley."
Attracting businesses to California and keeping them here was a major theme of the discussion, with more than one speaker blaming California's excessive regulations for stifling business growth.
Flavin said excessive regulation makes it harder for her father, who owns a small business, to operate in California
"Why would a business choose to start up here where there is the highest income tax, where there is some of the worst regulation, whether they're environmental regulations, or work regulations. Why not go to Nevada or Texas?" she said.
DeLeon suggested that a happy medium can be found between providing incentives to business and protecting worker's rights, clean air and clean water.
"Texas is the China of the United States – low wages like you cannot imagine, worker protections – doesn't exist at all whatsoever…..California is a much better place," deLeon said.
Successful entrepreneur Anders borrowed money to buy his first restaurant with a friend, and now owns Wood Ranch restaurants in 14 Southern California locations, suggested students not rely on government in their pursuit of success.
"Just don't count on anybody, count on yourself," Anders said. "Don't let government or other people or anyone tell you that you can't do it."
Whatever their opinions, it was clear that none of the speakers had an easy fix for higher education funding until the economy improves.

Jackson County has been home to my wife Sandra and I for the past 24 years. We both consider it a privilege to have raised both of our sons here and are proud to be part of the Latimer community and citizens of Jackson County.
However, as much as I love Jackson County, we could do far better than what we are doing.
Jackson County citizens are taxed more than their neighbors to the west, despite the presence of several large industries here. Our total assessed valuation is fourth in the state, whereas Harrison County is first. Yet we have the 26th highest total millage assessed while Harrison County ranks near the bottom in total millage. Are we getting a good return on our investment for the tax breaks granted to large employers in the county, breaks which generally aren't offered to small businesses or residents?
Despite having the second highest millage for Fire Protection (+4 mills) in the state, the fire ratings for the unincorporated areas of Jackson County remain at 7 or above and those for the incorporated areas of Ocean Springs, Moss Point, Pascagoula and Gautier are 5 or higher. Lower fire ratings translate into lower insurance costs, with a drop from 10 to 8 being roughly a 30% drop in fire insurance premiums.
These are just two examples of why I think District 4 and Jackson County can do better. We deserve a more efficient county government, one with integrity, one which is open, transparent and accessible to all and, especially, one which treats its citizens uniformly. We deserve a 21st century county government in which all county documentation and most services could be made available online. We deserve a county government which looks to the future and doesn't rely on the "business as usual" approach in which economic development is discussed behind closed doors.
I want Jackson County embrace a smart growth economic development plan, one which encourages small businesses and which focuses on improving our existing infrastructure. I would like to see the county reexamine property taxes for residential, small business and large industry and determine if the current system is truly fair for all. I would like the county to aggressively promote our natural attractions such as the Pascagoula River basin, the MS Sandhill Crane Wildlife Refuge, Gulf Islands National Seashore, DeSoto National Forest and the Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge as well as other venues which cater to the tourism industry, such as downtown Ocean Springs and the Walter Anderson Museum of Art.
All of this and more are why I'm proud to be the Democratic candidate for the Jackson County District 4 Supervisor's seat. I'll be campaigning, coming door-to-door to meet the citizens of District 4. Because no one person has all the answers, I want to hear your concerns, your ideas, your suggestions and, yes, even your criticism. I am asking for your help in making District 4 and Jackson County the best place in the world to raise a family.

Utah hay growers are battling outbreaks of two insects this summer. High numbers of Mormon crickets and grasshoppers are moving from rangeland into hayfields, forcing many growers to apply insecticides or face major yield losses.
USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) estimates that over 1.5 million acres are infested in 18 counties, causing over $25 million in crop damage so far.
Over 99% of the infested acreage is rangeland, says Greg Abbott, an APHIS plant inspection and quarantine officer. He says damage to rangeland is minimal, but both insects also feed on alfalfa.
The crickets tend to move through fields in waves, traveling several miles from where they hatch. "Some of the hay has been cut, so the problem is over until the next wave moves in," says Abbott. "Some of the greater problems are around homes and gardens."
Mormon crickets are actually shield-back katydids, a type of grasshopper. "They look sort of like crickets, but they're actually long-horned grasshoppers," says Abbott.
Conventional grasshoppers pose a bigger threat to hayfields than do Mormon crickets because they stay near where they hatch, he adds.
Mormon cricket populations tend to peak every 40 to 50 years, and infestations can last several years. Grasshopper numbers cycle about every 10 years, according to Abbott.

What a difference a year makes: The median price of a single-family home in Marin came close to the $1 million mark in April at $931,700, a 23 percent jump from April 2012, according to the Marin County Assessor's Office.
A total of 258 single-family home sales were recorded in Marin last month, up 21 percent from 213 a year ago, the assessor's office reported.
Sixty-six condominiums sold in April 2013, up from 57 in April 2012, and the median condo price increased to $413,000 from $301,500 in April 2012.
Sales have gone up over the past four months. In January 2013 the assessor recorded 120 sales, then 135 in February, 218 in March and now 258.
Experts agree the real estate scene is red-hot these days, but dismissed the idea that the market might be shaping up for another bubble like the one that popped so painfully in 2008.
"One of our listings was on the market six days and had 21 offers," said Peter Richmond, an agent with Pacific Union International in Mill Valley. "That's the way it's going these days, although that's an extreme. You are seeing a lot of multiple offers these days."
But, he said, "I don't see a bubble. Speaking as a former banker of 25 years' standing, I think they (lenders) are being more bankerish. They are doing what they should have done prior to the collapse — making loans with attention to creditworthiness."
The 2008 collapse happened to a great extent because "a lot of lenders were throwing money at people who didn't really qualify for loans. We used to joke that if you could fog a mirror, you could get a loan," Richmond said.
Paul Cingolani, a real estate investment broker with Bradley Real Estate in Mill Valley, concurred.
"Is there a bubble? I don't see it that way. As fewer people are in distress and once again have equity and the ability to sell their homes without a loss, inventory will rise," Cingolani said.
He was referring to the fact that for more than 15 months there has been a shortage of homes on the market. It is one of the factors that has given rise to the hot market and multiple bid situation.
The hot market does harken back to the bubble days in some ways, however.
"There's much more to the story than multiple offers and inventory," Cingolani said. "Those of us who are winning out on the bids can't find inspectors to come and do inspections because the market is so busy. It's (the market) gobbling up inspectors and contractors. Finding good contractors is very challenging."
Prices are rising not only because of the dearth of inventory, Cingolani noted. There are fewer sales of foreclosed homes, which sell for rock-bottom prices.
Along those lines, "More sales in the high-end market are driving the median price up as well," said Stephanie Pratt, a real estate aGent with First Marin Realty in Mill Valley.
"We're getting a few more listings (on the market), but not enough, and especially not in the under $800,000 range," said Jill Hill, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker in Greenbrae. "We desperately need listings between $600,000 and $800,000. We're getting a lot of $1.5 million to $2.5 million listings.
"But it's been hard on the first-time buyers because the homes that are for sale in their range have multiple offers, not just two or three but sometimes eight or 10 or 12. That makes it hard for them to compete," Hill said.
"I just wrote an all-cash offer and was outbid by someone who came in $100,000 over (the asking price)," Pratt said. While this is a good time to buy, with interest rates still unusually low, the agent said, "It's a seller's market. It's a good time to sell."

20 November 2009
The Cardiff Blues first ever rugby match against an international team will be kicked off by two singers from the International Academy of Voice at Cardiff University.
Alun Rhys Jenkins, a Welsh Tenor and Mary-Jean O'Doherty, an Australian Soprano will take to the pitch ahead of the team's historic match against Australia to sing the national anthem of each country - Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau and Advance Australia Fair.
It's the first time that the Blues have played against an international team, however Cardiff RFC played and beat Australia several times, the last being in 1984.
Commenting on his starring role, Alun Rhys Jenkins said: "Being a Welshman, rugby is in the blood. It is part of the culture and this is a great opportunity to be an integral part of the Welsh rugby experience. I think the national anthem is an important part of the whole event. I'm looking forward to hearing the Welsh fans join with me as we look to inspire the Cardiff Blues to an historic victory over Australia."
Alun's Academy colleague Mary-Jean O'Doherty will perform the Australian national anthem. Mary-Jean said: "My grandfather played rugby for the Wauchope RL (New South Wales) Club during the Great Depression and my father played rugby at St Joseph's College in Sydney. With such a family history, it truly is a great honour for me to represent Australia as well as the International Academy of Voice at Cardiff University at this match. I'm hoping that my rendition of our anthem will add to the traditionally warm atmosphere between the Welsh and Australian fans at sporting events, and even though I live and study in Wales there is only one team that I will be supporting."
The match takes place at 7.35pm on Tuesday 24th November 2009 at the Blues new ground - the Cardiff City Stadium. Alun and Mary-Jean will perform in front of an expected capacity crowd.
The International Academy of Voice is directed by world-renowned Welsh tenor Dennis O'Neill with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa as President.
The Academy provides individual voice coaching to some of the most exciting talent in international opera. A series of master-classes and workshops given by eminent figures in the operatic world enable the students to perfect their vocal techniques and fulfil their global performance potential.
1. The International Academy of Voice at Cardiff University
The International Academy of Voice at Cardiff University was formed to perfect the voices and musicianship of a new elite in world opera. It is a joint initiative by Cardiff University and the Academy's director, the renowned Welsh tenor Dennis O'Neill CBE. Students are selected from among the world's most promising opera singers and each is given an individually-tailored programme of coaching. The programme includes daily one-to-one tuition, regular public performances in Wales and internationally, and a unique series of masterclasses from some of the world's most eminent singers, conductors, accompanists and coaches. The Academy is ideally sited at Birchwood House, in the Cyncoed district of Cardiff, with specialised practice facilities and student accommodation in secluded, landscaped grounds.

Add a dash of a wild print. You may add just the right dose of animal print to your bedroom with an upholstered bench.
Bring some glamor to your room. A tufted bench with acrylic legs adds luxurious textures and finishes.
Introduce another material or texture. These three cubes form a bench and bring in rich woods and interesting geometry.
Enhance clean lines. A mid-century modern style bench emphasizes the clean lines of this pop-inspired bedroom. Slat and Nelson benches are good choices for achieving this look.
Pick up on another pattern in the room. The printed fabric on this bench is the same one used on the Roman shade.
Create a footboard. Note the way the back of this wooden bench and headboard have the same shape.
Introduce new shapes. This bench adds dynamic angles to the room; it's like an exclamation point punctuating the end of the bed.
Bring in some exotic style. This wood bench adds Chinoiserie style to this coastal bedroom.
Provide a spot for bedside reading materials. Stacks of books at the foot of the bed eliminate the need for a bookshelf.
Create extra storage. A trunk or hope chest can double as a bedroom bench.
Baskets or storage boxes under an open bench are good spots for corralling a child's toys and books.
You can use two or three smaller ottomans side by side to create a bench.
Bedroom benches are not limited to full-, queen-, and king-size beds. You can get the same effect with a single ottoman at the end of a twin bed.

Know Your Lore: Un'Goro and Sholazar, petri dishes of the Titans {WoW}
Dec 31st 2010 3:10AM When the titans arrived, the surface of Azeroth was covered with the Old Gods and their warring armies of elementals.
Then the Titans arrived at Azeroth (with a single continent) defeated the Old Godes - built elemental planes, and prisons and incacerated the Old Gods and their (corrupted) elementals. This allowes the latent mostly non hostile elementals to respawn on the surface. The well of eternity can't have been here yet as (a) its not Titan technology, and (b) they would have found it if it was.
They started with at least 3 races of mechanical servants: guardians, diggers, and engineers.
They made a backup copy of Azeroth in its early state - the emerald dream. They also took the proto dragons they had presumably created in their gardens of creation, and created the 5 dragon flights to watch over aspects of Azeroth thier mechanical guardians were presumably not competent to watch, and then departed.
Then, two Naaru arrived, planted the well of eternity, and hid. The dragons (and other titan guardians) ignored this.
Now, the early trolls and silithid emerged from the well - either its influence working on Titan basin created wildlife, or completely separate creations. They had wars. A tribe of Trolls resettled near the well, and became the early night elves. A number of other minor gods were created by the well of eternity or by the direct intervention of Elune (one of the pair of Naaru lurking around Azeroth): Cenarius etc. The night elves then had a war with their progenitor race - the trolls - and pushed them to the corners of Azeroth, were noticed by the Dragons given the tasks of being druids and sentinels and granted immortality and tasked with helping the green dragon flight watch over the titan created backup of Azeroth - the emerald dream.
Also, at the same time, the old gods had discovered they could pervert the titan creations via a curse: mechagnomes started to degenerate into Gnomes. Earthen diggers devolved into multiple tribes of dwarves. And Watchers devolved into Vyrkyl and then weakened again into Humans.
In the resulting mess of sentient life on Azeroth, one or more of these races discovered Arcane magic and started to excercize it - Which made Sargeras notice Azeroth. Sargeras - a corrputed titan - wanted the Narru artifact - the well of eternity and so came to Azeroth (via the plane of demons - the twisting nether) and the faeces then hit the fan bigtime.
Know Your Lore: Un'Goro and Sholazar, petri dishes of the Titans {WoW}
Dec 30th 2010 1:53PM @Nonette: While it is quite possible to confuse dragon and dinosaur bones, the 3 horned skeleton in the badlands screenshot is more (to me) like a triceratops than a dragon.
@Fedaris: When the Titans were on azeroth, there was only one continent. However, perhaps when the world was sundered the first time, perhaps they worked to protect the surrounding land and thus split the continents into three.
@Nonette & Myself - dinosaur bones are not a unique feature of Titan creation gardens anyway: Ungoro has them, but dinosaurs (raptors at least) are everywhere else too - and Sholazar basin doesn't have any living dinosaurs at all. There are some large skeletons for sure, but what they are I can't guess.

Blizzard to break the AVR mod in Patch 3.3.5 {WoW}
May 21st 2010 2:39PM Lets not pretend that the Blizzard UI is actually usable :- without having used it I fail to understand what is so game breaking about an Addon that appears to (a) facilitate communication, and (b) make up for the appalling lack of 3d cues in the game engine. All our tooltips state that this or that spell has a 15 yard range, or a 30 yard range, or 36 or whatever, but there's no actual yard-stick in the game for us to know what that means.
Its just bad design to have the difficulty of encounters hinge on flaws in the UI model - the difficulty of encounters should NOT depend on your ability with the macro system and or which unit-frames addon one uses. I thought the great thing about Wow was the way that the Addon system allwoed players to customize the input system, come up with improved ways for managing healing and damage and tanking tasks in complicated encounters - and hopefully Blizzard would incorporate any advances into their own UI.
Instead, in practice, theyve tuned encounters based on the difficulty of using the default UI to perform raid debuffs fast enough, then, WITHOUT adjusting their UI tuned encounters based on the difficulty of performing raid debuffs using addons (forcing the use of said Addons - how many Addons can you actually raid *without*?) And then, again, instead of being clever, tried to make encounters hard by nerfing the addons (rather than making the act of raid debuffing easier, but the choice of when to do so harder).
Insider Trader: Selling arrows in singles for the price of a stack scam {WoW}
May 18th 2010 3:38AM Not using Auctionator is no excuse.

Reader UI of the Week: Crazyate's UI {WoW}
Apr 6th 2010 12:30PM I don't want to go all OT here, but I far prefer a miimal number of changes to the Wow default UI - when patch day breaks all my addons I prefer to see a UI i still mostly recognise.
My problem is, I play over a high (600ms) latency connection and *Really* need an addon that, well, is the Quartz latency module - just without all the reskinning Quartz does. Is there a lightweight version of Quartz Latency that works more akin to Visual Heal - just decorate the default UI?

1. Did the Titans create the emerald dream then? My theory is that the emerald dream is some kind of Titan backup system / "holodeck" version of Azeroth.
2. Whats the deal with the emerald dream reaching to the Arokkoa of Outland? I mean, when chasing up the Anzu quest line to get epic flight form, it seemed full of emerald dream references - Anzu is summoned out the dream - Into Auchindoun of all places?
Breakfast Topic: What overcloak designs would you like to see? {WoW}
Feb 25th 2010 9:03AM I would like to see overcloak designs that allowed my toon to choose whether the "robes" displayed as, well, robes, a kilt, or pants.
Wait! Thats not an overcloak design!
Which is the point. No one has been asking for overcloaks. We HAVE been asking for the ability to disable robes - especially on male toons in combat roles (wtf is with feral *robes*??? agi leather should have pants!), and show an optional robe extensions (kilt?) covering for when cameltoe is inappropriate / unwanted. (Can you say Black Mageweave?)
Wintergrasp's hidden balance mechanics revealed, minor changes coming soon {WoW}
Feb 20th 2010 7:06AM I am posting from the perspective of an alliance player who doesn't like the unfairness of WG. And there are two aspects to the unfairness:
1. Single characters with lots of tenacity are impossible for small groups to kill as their damage output is stupidly huge and they just kill the entire group.
2. In mass combat, the tenacity advantage is completely offset by the fact that the larger side is outputting so much cc, that the health (and damage) bonuses just cant be effectivley deployed by the outnumbered side - they're locked in place and killed.
Both of these issues can be solved by reverting to base damage, but boosting health, and pvp stats like resilience even more.

It's the local IP of your box and the DNS service listens on port 53. Suggestion. Add a port forwarder for DNS (a secondary DNS really) to your conf file, using your ISP's Primary DNS server? <-- that way your box can serve internal DNS and recognise external addresses as well.

A pick your own Blueberry Farm
44 Rawson St in Uxbridge MA
***Updated - Sunday 8/3/2014 - 7:29 p.m.***
Closed until 2015
Thursday July 31st was the last day for picking in 2014. There's a beginning and an end to every season, and we have reached the end. The Farm is now closed until 2015. We hope to see you all back in the field next year.
Thank You - Bill & Debbie Baisley
Please check this website for any changes to our regular picking hours, or call the farm at 508-234-9859. We strongly recommend that you verify we are open before making a trip down to the farm. Mother nature and the number of customers determine how many berries are available on any given day. The area for our blueberry field is approx. 1 acre. We now have a total of 1025 bushes, made up of the following varieties: Duke, Reka, Patriot, Blueray, Bluecrop, Bluegold and Chandler. These varieties were selected in part to extend our picking season, since they ripen at different times during the summer.

I placed an order with Whitman Farms for 3 currants, Titania, Rovada and Primus. And gooseberries black velvet, Invicta, Poorman and Hinomaki red and yellow. I am so excited. I plan to add to the ribes next year. There were so many that sounded good and I have plenty of room. Any one have some favorites? My shoe in the pic is a size 7 in women's to give you perspective. Nice plants and nice roots. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I like White Imperial a little better than Primus. Rovada is a good one. I heard Titania is good too. Another red I like is Jonkheer Von Tets. I have some old school reds, London Market and Laxton's No 1. I have some others at my cottage, but it's a tough environment there. i'm going to try some blacks up there that can tolerate shade better. The reds are barely hanging on. |

Flowerchild... Those are some great looking plants. Very sturdy looking. I'll be quite pleased if the plants that I get from Nourse Farms look that good. We still have frost in the ground and ice on our lakes. My order won't arrive until the week of May 5th. Rovada current and Texia gooseberry are the varieties that I'll be planting this year. I'm just getting started with the ribes. |
- Posted by flowerchild59 z6b IL (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 8:08
It killed me but I pruned them when I planted them. Lucile has a good video on her website too about pruning a gooseberry. |
When you pruned them, did you stick the part you cut off in the ground? Gooseberries and currants both grow pretty well from cuttings, so it is worth it if you have the space...I had some space open up (which was non-ideal for trees) this year and planted some of my prunings. Most are leafing out now. My favorite gooseberries are Jeanne and Hinomaki Yellow. Both grow very weakly though, so the more bushes of each you have, the better. Rovada makes nice big berries and Pink Champagne is pretty tasty. I don't have a strong preference between Primus and White Imperial, but the birds tend to ignore both, which is nice. |
Good idea about the cuttings. I just threw some away, i should have planted them. I'm making a cordon, well two of them. I have the main cane going up the fence. one is halfway, the other is almost at the top. Both plants i keep a 2nd cane short for backup. As I heard sometimes the cordon dies. I recenltly cut the backup down a touch. Next time I'll keep the cuttings. |

Ladies and gentlemen, Opening Day:
(Via @CarmenKiew on Twitter.)
It wasn't exactly the Opening Day we were all hoping for, but it was OPENING DAY so that pretty much made up for it, at least to me. The Giants opened against Clayton Kershaw and those Los Angeles Dodgers and Kershaw was very Superman-y and pitched a shutout and also hit a homerun – the first of his career – to break the scoreless tie.
Oh, did I forget to mention that he helped build an orphanage in Zambia in the offseason?
Seriously, though, Kershaw is good stuff to watch and the rivalry is more fun when both teams are doing well and all that. Which is to say, the Giants have to do well too. But they have 161 more games to do that, so Mayans, back off. And they'll probably only face Kershaw a few more times, so that's good news.
Baseball is back and just in time for April Fool's Day, no less. I'd don't mean to be antagonistic, Bud Selig, seeing as this is a new season with a clean slate between us (right?) but that was sort of bad planning on your part. Like, maybe if there were fewer Interleague Play games we could have started the season on a day other than Annual Prank Unsuspecting Emilys Day?
Forget it. Antagonistic it is.

He used to be in charge of our days and our nights, but now he deals with legal charges. Scott Baio, the former Charles in charge and Chachi, is back on television as attorney Bob Loblaw replacing Happy Days cousin Henry Winkler on Fox's Arrested Development (Mondays at 8 p.m.). EW called up the actor to procure some wisdom, Baio-style. After all, he did a bang-up job of raising Nicole Eggert.
How to Handle Hollywood's Rumor Mill: Embrace it. ''I called the producer [of High T, an upcoming Steve Carell flick that Baio was rumored to direct] and said, 'I'm ready for work. Lemme know when the script is ready.' And the guy started cracking up. I said, 'F -- - you, man. I'm directing the movie. Let's go.' So, we had a big laugh about it. I don't know how that got out.''
How to Go After a Role: Write it. I said [to Arrested producers], 'I wanna come on the show. I just want you to go into Jessica Walter's bedroom one morning and I'm lying next to her in bed. Or hanging in her closet tied up.'''
How to Stay Tiger Beat-Worthy: Own it. A lot of women still come up to me. I enjoy it. Why shouldn't people still get excited when they see anybody they used to like? I met Dolly Parton, and I was so psyched to see her.''

The young CEO did what every great Valley CEO has done in down years: sink money and time into continually perfecting "the product." Zuckerberg grew Facebook's engineering ranks by 50%, and those teams, though increasingly staffed by greenhorns, unveiled features and products at a record pace -- from the very practical (tripling site speed) to the profound (the launch of peace.facebook.com). …. And although the company achieved cash-flow positive status for the first time last year, that wasn't the primary goal. "What 2009 was about for us was making the site better and growing users," says Zuckerberg.

Formula One tyre suppliers Pirelli have confirmed the tyre compounds that will be available at the final three Grands Prix of 2013 in Abu Dhabi, the United States and Brazil.
For Abu Dhabi, the white medium and yellow soft compounds have been selected. This combination is best suited to the varied characteristics of the Yas Marina event, which being a twilight race starts in the late afternoon with falling temperatures towards the end of the Grand Prix.
