Breakfast Topic: Are you a WoW cross-dresser? {WoW}
Jan 7th 2012 11:15AM No. I'm male and primarily play male characters. I have no bias against female ones, I just tend to prefer making males. Part of it may be that I'm a roleplayer before all else, and I have trouble getting into character at times with the gender difference coming into play. Though most of my characters are Undead, so gender is completely irrelevant anyway, with them being walking corpses and all.
Breakfast Topic: How and where do you prefer to level your alts? {WoW}
Dec 9th 2011 10:20AM Anywhere but Hellfire Peninsula.
See, back when Wrath first came out, I had a...PROBLEM with Death Knights. I couldn't stop rolling them. I would get one to about 61 or so, then say "no no, this is all wrong" and delete it just to roll another one.
So now it's customary for me to avoid the zone altogether. Usually by hopping straight into BC dungeons and running ramps/blood furnace until I can skip it. I know it's not a good thing to do, because of the gear jump, but...I just can't do it. I cannot take the Hellfire.
Breakfast Topic: Do you enjoy using vanity items? {WoW}
Dec 5th 2011 9:35AM Setting aside the times when I use them for RP (which are actually relatively rare), I often break them out when I get bored in instances and such.
My favorite is the Time Lost Figurine that can drop from Terokk. I get it when I was farming Skyguard rep before Cataclysm dropped, I really wanted a Nether Ray. Arakkoa have a lot of animations and are really cool overall, so it's pretty fun running around as one, even if just for five minutes.
Breakfast Topic: What moments in WoW would you like to relive? {WoW}
Dec 3rd 2011 10:09AM Ah, seconded. The zombie event was great fun. There was a resistance in the Stormwind Trade District Inn on my server at the time, with a massive wall of rotting flesh infesting the entire district outside. A large group of players (myself among them) holed up in the inn and defended it from the zombies, making occasional pushes out. At one point we cleared a good chunk of the district before being forced to fall back.
Got hate messages from the zombies for "ruining their fun", too. Cleansing Totem + Frost Shock was a pretty good counter to them.
To be honest, I kind of wish Blizzard would put up a couple Zombie Servers and allow character copies to them, even if just as a temporary event thing. I can see why it's not viable from a technical standpoint, but it would be TONS of fun.
Breakfast Topic: What moments in WoW would you like to relive? {WoW}
Dec 3rd 2011 10:06AM The old Wetlands Death Run. You know, if you rolled a Draenei or Night Elf but didn't like their starting zones, and wanted to go level in Human (or if you're crazy, Dwarven) lands? At the time, the boat went from Darkshore to Menethil Harbor. So you had to run the gauntlet straight through the Wetlands, assaulted by crocolisks and Dragonmaw Orcs (mostly crocolisks) and eventually reach Loch Modan. It was fairly common for people to try, too, since they wanted to go to Westfall so they could run Deadmines. I did it so many times it was basically routine. It was annoying at the time, but now it's a fond memory.
I miss those days, just a little bit.
The Queue: Fear and Vengeance in Las Ravenholdt {WoW}
Dec 1st 2011 12:27PM 25,000 years ago or so, to be specific. And there's at least three Draenei who were around back then, that we know of. Velen himself, an NPC in Blood Watch, and an NPC in Wintergrasp. Draenei are either immortal or just INSANELY long-lived.
WoW Insider's Weekly Webcomic: Safe Passage -- The Prologue {WoW}
Nov 24th 2011 10:09AM There's also references to people being "too far gone" to resurrect in quests, and other similar stuff. I imagine they need to not have been dead long, and having a relatively intact corpse may also come into play.
Breakfast Topic: How do you adapt WoW for younger players? {WoW}
Nov 22nd 2011 8:11AM By not letting them play it.
Back when I was a kid (starting at 11 or 12, I think) I did a lot of games and such online. Most of my biggest regrets are from that time, and I know very well just how foolish and unthinking kids that age often are. I applaud you for setting yours up in such a way it works out, but my own personal experience has made my policy just to keep kids far away from online gaming.

Only with better writing, less cereal, and more awesome.
Breakfast Topic: Do you read or write WoW fanfic? {WoW}
Nov 7th 2011 8:08AM Write: Ehhhh...kinda-sorta? I'm a roleplayer, so writing stories about my characters kind of comes with the territory. That said, one of my core tenets is "I am roleplaying in the World of Warcraft, not writing fanfiction for it". My stories, such as they are, all take place within the established lore. Not altering or expanding upon it.
Read: Not really, no. I do enjoy well-written fanfiction, rare though it is, and often troll around Tvtropes' Fanfic Recommendations page. But I find the WoW fics tend to be pretty horrible in general. It might just be because I'm huge on WoW's lore, so when someone gets something glaringly wrong it ruins the experience for me. That and as a wannabe author myself, I'm pretty critical, especially on stories I actually like.

MARGAO: A rape victim attempted to commit suicide in her flat on Thursday afternoon by slashing her wrists. On getting the information, police went to her flat and rushed her to the Hospicio hospital, Margao.
Colva police had, earlier this month, arrested the person accused of raping this woman from a place at Kolhapur. The accused had assured the victim of marrying her but failed to keep his word.

A new ruling by a federal court in Washington State may shed light on whether Arizona's wine laws are constitutional.
Plaintiffs are asking the federal district court in Phoenix to declare Arizona's wine distribution system unconstitutional because it discriminates against out-of-state wineries.
Arizona wine regulations force out-of-state wineries to ship to wholesalers if they want to do business in Arizona while local wineries can sell directly to consumers. That's a problem for budding out-of-state wineries. Lacking brand recognition, they often can't convince wholesalers to carry their wines. This limits consumer wine choices.
In the Washington case, Costco v. Hoen, the federal court declared Washington's wine distribution system unconstitutional and gave its legislature time to come up with a solution. It has two choices '" open the system up and let all wineries ship directly to consumers or discriminate against all wineries, local and national, forcing everyone to ship only to wholesalers.
The situation facing Washington will likely happen here. Arizona may have to choose between an open system embracing free trade and a closed system forcing all wine shipments to go through wholesaler middlemen. The answer to this policy question is easy: reducing barriers to commerce is the right thing to do.

Union members picket Walsh fundraiser in Chicago
By Cindy Wojdyla Cain email@example.com November 13, 2013 10:58PM
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 1028 employees picket in Chicago outside a fundraiser for Will County Executive Larry Walsh | Supplied photo
Updated: December 15, 2013 11:54AM
Will County Executive Larry Walsh was criticized by union officials Wednesday night after he attended a Chicago fundraiser instead of staying in Joliet where contract talks resumed to try to avert a strike by county employees.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 1028 had planned to strike Wednesday after negotiations broke down last week, but the AFSCME bargaining committee agreed Saturday to resume negotiations with a federal mediator. The new strike date is Monday.
Local 1028 members said they were unhappy that Walsh attended his $250-a-plate fundraiser at Luxbar in Chicago during the new negotiating session and that the Elwood Democrat was in Springfield on Nov. 5 when the talks broke down.
"In most contract negotiations, the chief executive is the party responsible for directing the employer's negotiating committee — and in virtually all instances in which that kind of leadership is exercised, our union has been able to reach contract settlements without resorting to a work stoppage," AFSCME staff representative Joe Pluger wrote in a letter to Walsh.
In the letter, Pluger also said it seems county negotiators are taking direction instead from a county board committee that meets "infrequently."
"Negotiating collective bargaining agreements is clearly the duty and responsibility of the county executive," Pluger stated. "Although the county board has a legitimate role to play, the collective bargaining process cannot work properly unless you carry out your responsibilities as the county executive."
Pluger urged Walsh to skip his fundraiser, but it appears Walsh attended and the union protested in front of the restaurant, according to Local 1028 president Dave Delrose. Walsh could not be reached Wednesday night for comment. The two sides are trying to agree on a four-year contract and avert a strike by about 1,000 employees in a wide range of county offices including the health and highway departments and Sunny Hill Nursing Home.
"Negotiations are ongoing," AFSCME spokesman Anders Lindall said Wednesday afternoon. "We are committed to staying at the table and continuing to work through tomorrow and as long as it is fruitful. We hope the county shares our commitment and makes real movement toward a fair agreement."
The two main issues left to be resolved involve cost-of-living raises and health insurance costs.
Local 1028 officials say their members have gone without raises for four years and don't want to pay a lot more for health insurance — double or more in some cases under the county's proposal.
County officials emphasize that most workers have been getting 2.5 percent raises every year as they advance on the salary scale. And they say county employees should chip in more to help meet rising health insurance costs, as do workers in other counties and in the private sector.
The county is offering a 4.5 percent cost-of-living raise phased in over the next three years, but union representatives said that's not enough to make up for workers' higher insurance costs.

Many Creative Ways to Thank Your Bridesmaids
By Maggie Joos
It's that time of year when we're asking a lot of our girlfriends. Perhaps they are your bridesmaids (one of the hardest jobs ever!) or maybe they are just helped you move. They may have written a great recommendation for a new job or simply let you sleep over when your air-conditioner died. Sometimes a "thanks" is enough, but a lot of the time it's worth the extra effort to do something further.Here are some creative ideas for you to consider:
My personal favorite is fresh cookies, but that shouldn't surprise anyone. The ones that require the least amount of money and not that much time are the most valuable though. Every woman should hear how awesome she is every day. Taking the time to remind your friends how amazing they are will never go unnoticed!
Sure, you could go with the matching jewelry or other event-related purchase, but is that really a gift for them or for you? Hopefully these ideas will help get you thinking about unique ways you can tell your friends they are valued.

Big Law Gets Religion
Reed Smith had a nice relationship with the Bair Foundation, a smaller religeous entity. They represented the foundation for a while, and did so amicably. However, when the foundation became a defendant in a discrimination law suit, and Reed Smith defended, the bill for legal services rose from an estimated $ 50,000 to $ 1 Million. Now the foundation sues and says that Biglaw is not for smaller companies or entities.
"The high demands on partners in global law firms to increase profits, the client said, ultimately led to its claims of professional negligence against Reed Smith. The religious nonprofit alleged it was excessively charged for its legal representation in a routine employment discrimination case, according to the complaint in The Bair Foundation v. Reed Smith.
And the nonprofit's attorney said he thinks these large firms shouldn't represent the smaller organizations.
The Bair Foundation, described in the complaint as a Christian charitable foundation devoted to foster care for children, sued Reed Smith in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court in Pennsylvania after it was allegedly charged nearly $1 million in legal fees and costs in defense of the suit.

Very warm and comfy
I read a lot of the other reviews, and so many had a problem with the Berryessa running on the large side. For me, they're true to size, so it's strange. I have a pair of malindis and Olivias in a size 6, and the sizing in a size 6 Berryessa feel about the same. I ordered the purple, and they are lovely. The real leather suede felt a bit tight on top, and on my big toe at first, but has stretched out to form to my foot after a few days of walking in them. The fuzzy lining is very comforting and warm for cold times. Great winter shoe!
Very Comfy!
I bought the black Minoa for my adult son. He loves them, and wears them everyday, work and play. He normally wears a 9.5, but the 10 is a fine fit. They are a nice suede upper, and have an insert that's the Croc's material. He told me that he's received compliments at work about them. He has sensitive feet, so I'm glad he has a shoe that's comfortable and doesn't give him blisters.
A perfect summer sandal!
When I first tried them on, the center strap was to loose. It stood about an inch above my foot. The rest of the shoe was a little big, but wearable. I normally wear a 6.5 but ordered a 7. They ended up going through the laundry, but it was ok, because they shrank almost a whole size. They fit really well now, and even a little tight. I love the cushy feel. They will be my summer everyday shoe. I'm sure they will stretch out a little and mold to my foot in the warm weather.
Cute and comfy!
These were comfortable from the moment I put them on my feet. I'm a 6 1/2 and the six was fine. The Malindi in the same size made my big toe hit the side at first until it stretched. The Olivia accomidates my toes better and is ubber comfortable. On Christmas, I spilled ham juice on my right foot and it was a greasy mess. All I had to do is pop my Olivia off and wash it with some dish soap in the sink, and wipe it dry. I had it back on my foot in just a few seconds, and back to my family. I like the feel of the little nubs, but my feet feel moist inside this shoe. That's the only downfall.

How do you like to eat your cornbread? I only like it hot with butter or in a bowl crumbled up with sugar and milk on it. Of course I like corn casserole and corn meal mush the later with sugar and milk on it. I like to eat it with soup beans but I don't want it crumbled up in them. So how do you like yours?
Sue |
Follow-Up Postings:
I make it occasionally for DH and DS. Never sweet, never with cake mix added in, never from a mix. I add in corn kernels and canned anaheim chile peppers. We have it with my home made chili usually. I might eat one piece, but never more. Sugar and milk - well, just no. |
Cornbread--I like mine sweet and cake. Served: hot with butter, or butter and honey. Or topped with BBQ, caramelized onions and cheddar. Or reheated, topped with butter and drizzled with maple syrup. corn muffins--see above. Sometimes I like to add a diced tomato and some cubed mozzarella. Cornmeal mush--with butter and real maple syrup (preferably Grade B) Also like cornmeal made up into pancakes. also like Sweet Mexican corn cake, or corn casserole. Can you tell I just like cornmeal, made into pretty much anything? |
- Posted by marie-ndcal (My Page) on Thu, Sep 27, 12 at 21:04
I like mine with Jalapeno peppers inside, or with butter and Jalapeno jelly. |
I like mine with beans or chili. I don't like sweet cornbread. I also don't like yellow. White only. I have a recipe for corn sticks that is made with fresh corn and egg white folded into it. It has a tiny bit of sugar...also made with cream. It is so good...I can eat that just by itself. I also like white cornbread made into cornbread dressing. |
Cornbread with butter and jelly. Cornmeal mush fried with syrup, sooo good!! |
Sweet cornbread with honey butter and cherry preserves!! |
tons of butter and honey... |
hot, with butter. One of the few times I allow myself to eat butter. Mostly, I try to be "good", cause of my high cholesterol. Moni |
Love love love hoe cake, made my way! |
I like it hot with butter only. |
I have never tasted corn bread, but they all sound delicious. |
Hot with butter. DH puts it in the bottom of his bowl and puts his ham and beans over it. With another couple of slices on the side with butter and honey. |
Don't want full kernels of corn in mine. And I don't like it gritty. If it's going to be eaten as a dessert, then put frosting on it and have it sweet like any other cake. If it's a meal accompaniment, then not sweet/cakey with just a light bit of real butter melted on it. I'm not big on cornbread and don't find much good stuff around anyway. |
I add chopped jalapenos and some honey to the mix. Delicious with butter! |

I have been married to the most wonderful man for 34 years. He is my best friend and the love of my life, my soulmate, and everyday he makes me smile! We have two wonderful children, both adults, and both the loves of our lives. We are so proud of them!
I want to say THANK YOU to all of you who try my recipes. I may not always get back with a Thank you in writing but I want you to know I do thank you very much. I appreciate any and all comments, it can only help me learn and become a better chef.
I love to travel and see anything and everything. When summer comes, I am off to see. DH and I traveled across country several times and our children are seasoned travelers as well. Road Trip are 2 of my favorite words. The kids and I have done a few trips as well down the eastern seaboard and there are plans for more. Both DD and DS are gypsies as well and think nothing of taking a road trip to visit home or each other. LOVE IT
I live in Western New York and love it here, snow and all. I am a special education teacher and enjoy my career. The sense of wonder and gratification comes daily. My favorite pastime is spending time with my family! I also love to read, listen to music and watch good movies. We have Friday night pizza night here, which means I do not cook! I love Friday's. I started this custom when my children were small and we would cuddle on the floor and play games together and eat pizza. (Highly recommended for all moms out there, dads too.) I LOVE THAT!
My favorite cookbook has changed since I came to Zaar, it is now the Zaarworld cookbook. I can get everything I need here and then some, to cook up meals for family and friends. One passion of mine is to cook homestyle meals for family and friends, holiday dinners, and baking bread.
My pet peeve is rudeness. INTOLERABLE!
Some of the Contests and Swaps I have participated in and thoroughly enjoyed!

My favorite foods: chocolate, desserts, great family comfort foods, soups of all kinds, lamb, chicken, and fish. Greek of course is my favorite, Italian a very close 2nd, anything that has good flavors that can roll around my taste buds and send a smile to my heart.
I must also mention Sunday breakfast as a favorite as DH is the Chief cook for Sunday Breakfasts.

The rarely updated Mac Pro could be set to receive an overhaul next week according to a new rumor. The flagship Mac, which hasn't received an update for almost two years is in short supply at Apple Retail Stores and Apple staff have apparently been returning excess Mac Pro stocks back to Apple (via MacRumors). While many stores are still selling the Mac Pro, it appears that Apple staff have been directing customers to order their Mac Pro online.
While the online order times don't appear to have been delayed, another rumor is suggesting that there are three new Mac Pro models destined to appear during the WWDC conference which is due to start next week. The rumor comes from 9to5Mac who have apparently tracked down the model numbers for the new Mac Pro units, coming in at MD770LL/A, MD771LL/A and MD772LL/A. The site suggests that there will be the base model, an upgraded model and then an ultimate model but there's no word on what changes will be present or what pricing options will be offered.
Given recent product announcements, it's likely that, at the bare minimum, the Mac Pro would receive an update with the latest Intel Ivy Bridge processors that have recently been made available. It's also likely that the new Mac Pro will ship with USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt ports built in, as well as Bluetooth 4.0. It's unclear as to whether the Mac Pro will receive an upgraded design, but given that some Apple Stores are showing pick up availability for the MAc Pro as June 12th (the day after the WWDC keynote), get your wallet ready.

5 facts about ethnic and gender diversity in U.S. newsrooms
Last week, San Francisco Bay area television station KTVU broadcast fake names for the pilots of the Asiana Airline flight that crashed on July 6. The error involved ethnic stereotyping, leading the Asian American Journalists Association to assert that these kinds of mistakes "underscored the importance of newsroom diversity" at America's media outlets. A similar […]

Al Jazeera America's biggest challenge: 'getting people to show up'

Exponential growth
From Wikiquote
Exponential growth occurs when the growth rate of the value of a mathematical function is proportional to the function's current value. In mathematics, the exponential function is used to model a relationship in which a constant change in the independent variable gives the same proportional change (i.e. percentage increase or decrease) in the dependent variable.
This science article is a stub. You can help Wikiquote by expanding it. |
- Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist.

Versatile, comfortable, moisture wicking women's Phasic™ SL shirt designed for mountain training in warm conditions.
Created for high output activities on warm weather days, and designed specifically for women, the Motus Short Sleeve Crew is optimized for versatility and performance while trail running, trekking or rock climbing. The Motus is anatomically patterned and has gusseted underarms for exceptional freedom of movement. The trim next to skin fit stretches with the body, and the longer hip length cut provides added coverage and layers well under a hipbelt or harness. Made of Phasic™ SL, an advanced bi-component fabric that wicks moisture, the Motus dries quickly, and disperses odours.
When optimizing a design for versatile performance, fabric is essential. The Motus leverages Phasic™ SL fabric's bi-component structure to elevate the level of moisture dispersion. The fabric regulates body temperature during active phases, and dries faster during rest phases. The knit construction's mechanical stretch eliminates the need for elastic yarns that can retain moisture, but still allows the Motus to provide a performance fit that moves with the body.
- Machine wash in cold water.
- Hang to dry.
- Do not use fabric softener.
- Do not iron.

The only commonality between Tortoise and the Ex, apart from the fact that both are remarkable ensembles in their own right, is that they thrive on unusual collaboration. The Chicago post-rock rhythmatists of Tortoise, for instance, backed Brazilian eccentric Tom Ze on a short U.S. tour earlier this year. And, in 1991, Amsterdam politico-punks the Ex paired off with the likes of free jazzer Han Bennink and Kurdish singer Brader Musiski for a series of singles.
Throughout much of this similarly adventurous cross-pollination, the fifth of the In the Fishtank EPs from Holland's Konkurrent label, the Ex's passionate pounding, clanging and shouting eclipse Tortoise's more subtle, ambient phrasing. "The Lawn of the Limp" and the short blast of "Central Heating" are prime examples that have a canorous Tortoise metaphorically fiddling, while a clamorous Ex burns Rome. But "Pleasure as Usual" is a calm, colorfully sketched interlude with a thick layer of Dutch-accented punk-speak. "Huge Hidden Spaces," a spare and low-frequency rumble, commingles the two groups' genres quite effectively. The symbiotic brilliance of this disc should be embraced by both camps as a most unexpected but beautiful un-pop-music train wreck.
--Thomas Peake
June of 44
While mainstream acts are buffeted by trends whether they like it or not, their underground cousins have the advantage of ignoring them--just as they always have. Hence Anahata, which pays not the slightest attention to the winds of pop-cultural change--or even, on occasion, its own history--and is all the better for it.
"Wear Two Eyes (Boom)," which opens the collection, is a harbinger of things to come, juxtaposing a Neanderthalic drum-and-bass pattern with, unexpectedly, Fred Erskine's mournful yet lyrical trumpet meanderings and words that mate poetry and creepiness ("Needle in an icebox/ Cold and sharp/Swimming in poison/ Diluting desire through a charcoal heart"). Equally unexpected are "Cardiac Atlas," a variation on the Fantastic Voyage theme that moves under the power of omni-directional keyboards, sloppy chanting and Julie Liu's serpentine viola, and "Southeast of Boston," in which Doug Scharin's percolating vibes chime in with the seductive vocal pairing of Jeff Mueller and guest Chiyoko Yoshida.
June of 44's rep isn't built on delicacy; it's prized most for its angst-ridden, Sabbathy guitar crushers. But while Anahata doesn't completely dispense with this approach ("Escape of the Levitational Trapeze Artist" thuds along satisfyingly in the old manner), the accent this time around is eclecticism: the dancing guitar and interlocking patterns of "Equators to Bi-Polar," the Bootsy Collins space-bass disconcertingly inserted into "Five Bucks in My Pocket," the jazzy coda to "Peel Away Velleity," and so on. The result may tick off those art martyrs who saw the band's music as the perfect excuse to gobble Quaaludes and feel crummy about themselves, but anyone still clinging to the belief that creative work can still be done under the indie-rock umbrella will likely be thrilled. These guys are following their own path, not one dictated by industry suits. And that's why they matter.
--Michael Roberts
Andre Williams and the Sadies
Red Dirt
(Bloodshot Records)
Goddamn, but if this isn't the best country-Western record of the year. For those who don't know, Andre "Mr. Rhythm" Williams is the eccentric, some might say offensive, R&B rumbler behind such pseudo-smashes as "Bacon Fat," "Jail Bait" and "Let Me Put It In," and the Sadies are a pack of Toronto-based alterna-twangers fronted by indie-rock poster child Dallas Good (Phonocomb, Jad Fair, etc.). Not exactly a country lover's dream team come true, but at the risk of repeating myself, goddamn, can these boys deliver. The whole thing kicks off with "Hey Truckers," a restless honky-tonk rattler straight from the George Jones playbook ("You got to bring home the cash/If you want some ass," testifies the ever-sensitive Williams, "Cause a trucker's wife/Don't want no diesel light"), then proceeds posthaste into a collection of greasy junkyard tales that would bring a smile to Johnny Cash's haggard kisser. Among the highlights are Williams originals "She's a Bag of Potato Chips" and "My Sister Stole My Woman" and a downright evil rendition of Johnny Paycheck's "Pardon Me (I've Got Someone to Kill Tonight)," but in all honesty, there's nary a clinker to be found here. In fact, all fourteen of these ditties should be required listening for clueless Nashville cronies and bumbling No Depression wannabes of the world--because this is C&W at its pistol-packin', cheatin'-hearted, dog-beatin' best.

Songs From My Funeral
With production values slicker than a greased water moccasin come Snakefarm, the polished New York husband-wife team of ex-'80s femme-folk new-waver Anna Domino and Belgian multi-instrumentalist Michael Delory, whose dreamy reinterpretations of traditional ballads like "John Henry," "Rising Sun" and "Laredo" bypass gut-bucket treatments in favor of electro-rhythmic indulgency. Not that the grim and gothic tidings of the songs themselves get entirely lost, but it's hard to fathom their status as standards when the whole thing's infused with so much damn drum programming. Fans of Annie Lennox or This Mortal Coil should take a shine to these guys, while staunch traditionalists will long for Leadbelly and Odetta.

The glory days are back for the Today show — for one day at least — with NBC's morning show bringing back Bryant Gumbel and Jane Pauley for a one-day nostalgia turn as co-hosts.
Gumbel and Pauley, who worked together on Today from 1982 to 1989, joined Matt Lauer to co-host on Monday. It wasn't ceremonial: with Savannah Guthrie and Natalie Morales off, Gumbel and Pauley had to work.
Gumbel acknowledged that getting back to the early start was difficult. Pauley said the fast pace makes the experience go "like a bat out of heck."
Not everyone's memory was clear. A sign held up by a fan outside the studio misspelled Gumbel's name.

Beth Lang
What is business excellence?
I asked myself that same question when I was presented with the opportunity to be this month's guest columnist.
By definition, excellence is the "fact or state of excelling." OK, so excelling in what—everything? Strategy, marketing, finance, technology and those sorts of things? That seems very broad. I think the answer is a little more simplistic—business excellence is having a great, not good, business.
The following are a few observations I've made over the years for what constitutes a GREAT business:
Get over yourself. It sounds silly, but acknowledging your own limitations and expertise is the key to learning. Always be open minded to the idea that someone can teach you something you don't know. Great companies are not afraid to seek support and networks outside their own business to help get them to the next level. This network can be found in the form of a trusted smart friend, peer groups and industry associations, such as the Gift and Home Trade Association. I have been a member of GHTA for several years and truly believe that the relationships I have formed and the foundation of knowledge I've gained has contributed to my company's success.
Be fearless. Great businesses are never shy. They constantly risk failure and in many cases, fail. But the difference with great businesses is what they do with this knowledge. Do they retreat or apply this new knowledge and move forward with new strategies?
Create an amazing team and have fun. Very simply, people are happy to come to work and have fun once they get there. A sense of teamwork and a 'work is play' attitude go a long way in terms of morale, and employees know they are valued. Sure, the bad times still happen, but are short-lived in the face of happy people. And just like life, happy people, i.e. happy employees, are more productive, more motivated, more trusted and are the first to get the job done.
Believe that what you are creating/selling is good for your customer. This is probably my number one strategy for pursuing excellence.
While this idea is sometimes sugar coated and buried in a cliché mission statement, I believe great businesses are in business for reasons other than profit alone. They want to make a difference, add value. They serve their customers, employees and shareholders, not the bank. Profits are the score, not the game. When you truly believe that your product or service is helping or adding value to someone's life, this is the driving force on the road to excellence.

Airport panel wants to protect residents' rights
By Susan DeMar Lafferty email@example.com March 6, 2014 8:02PM
Will County Board Member Judy Ogalla, R-Monee (left)
Updated: April 8, 2014 6:26AM
Will County's four-month old ad hoc airport committee still is struggling to define its purpose, but during a meeting of the panel on Thursday, several members said they need to protect the rights of the residents in and around the footprint of the proposed airport near Peotone.
"If we don't stand up for these people, who will?" said county board member Don Gould, R-Shorewood. "Their lives are being turned upside down."
Board member Judy Ogalla R-Monee, whose property lies in the footprint, suggested that the part of the committee's purpose should be to "maximize the protection of property rights" as well as the health, welfare and safety of the area.
It should be the committee's agenda to protect residents who are left after it is built, she said. Residents feel they have no voice in Springfield because the area has been "so gerrymandered," and divided into several legislative districts, she said.
"We need to make sure that Springfield knows we are concerned about the environment. We don't want it to be like O'Hare Airport" where neighbors complain about the noise, she said.
Committee Chairman Don Moran, D-Romeoville, felt the word "maximize" was too strong and may suggest that they would sue the state to protect the landowners.
"If we do not step up and act strongly we will have another Senate Bill 20 rammed down our throats," Ogalla said, referring to the legislation passed last summer which created a public-private partnership to build the airport and gave control of it to the state.
Committee members said they want IDOT to be sensitive to residents' concerns and work within the law. If residents have problems with trespassing or other illegal activity, they should notify police, they said.
"Property right are very important. Do not lose sight that this is a monstrous project that needs your attention," Beecher Mayor Greg Szymanski told the committee.
Eastern Will County municipal officials have discussed their concerns with Moran and other committee members, and Ogalla suggested a similar meeting with township officials.
The Will County Farm Bureau submitted a lengthy list of its concerns to the committee for those affected not only by the airport, but also the proposed Illiana Corridor and the Enbridge Energy pipeline.
Among their suggestions:
Landowners need to know who is going to be on their property and when, and should be allowed to accompany appraisers.
Before construction begins, landowners must be informed about physical changes to their property, what structures will be impacted, and what roads will be closed, and a field tile survey should be completed.
Well samples should be done before, during and after construction.
For five years after the project is completed, a person should be assigned to address any drainage issues that may occur.
Communication with landowners is a must.

by Jean Hatzfeld , Translated by Gerry Feehily
Category: History / African
Publisher: Profile Books Ltd
Publication date: 8 September 2005
Number of pages: 224
Five out of six Tutsis were hacked to death with machetes and spears by their Hutu neighbours. In the villages of Nyamata and N'tarama, where, in the first two days of the genocide, over 10,000 Tutsis were massacred in the churches where they sought refuge, Jean Hatzfeld interviewed some of the survivors. Of all ages, coming from different walks of life, from orphan teenage farmers to the local social worker, fourteen survivors talk of the genocide, the death of family and friends in the church and in the marshes of Bugesera to which they fled. They also talk of their present life and try to explain and understand the reasons behind the extermination. These horrific accounts of life at the very edge contrast with Hatzfeld's own sensitive and vivid descriptions of Rwanda's villages and countryside in peacetime. Into the quick of life brings us, in the author's own words, as close to the event as we can ever get.
What the papers say:
"'This harrowing work in its entirety is surely among the most powerful pieces of journalism of our generation' Herald 'Only Primo Levi gets closer to what genocide means' Venue 'Into the Quick of Life tells the stories of the Tutsi survivors of the genocide. It is as compelling a read. Sad, bewildered, pathetic people who lost kith and kin - often because they thought only of saving themselves. They are trying hard to forget, while forgiveness is an alien notion. A decade on, victim and perpetrator are still frozen in those 100 days the world ignored' Irish Independent"

Kate Beckinsale was severely anorexic as a teen, bottoming out at 70 pounds before checking into therapy. "I [wish] I had had a sensible magazine article to have read at the time from someone who was actually intelligent. I never really talked about that, actually," she said. "When I was around 22 or 23, I decided I'd mention it because I decided I was one of the few people I knew who had that problem who didn't remain a freak about it. It's really more about fixing up your life instead of eating or not eating." [StarPulse]

Flash 5 Studio
A previous review of Foundation Flash 5 from the same publisher, Friends of Ed, showed how writing a book from a designer's point of view made it a lot easier to get to grips with the fairly complex program that Macromedia Flash 5 is.
Following on from Foundation Flash 5 comes Flash 5 Studio in the same vein, but going a lot deeper into the subject. Flash 5 Studio covers a helluva lot of ground! Starting off with general site design principles, it then goes into the power of Smart Clips and explains how complex ActionScript code can be made accessible to designers to create or modify movie behaviours.
Flash now has a number of allied, third-party applications to help extend its possibilities. 3D programs like Swift3D and Studio Max allow designers to create 3D models and import them into their Flash 5 projects. Flash 5 Studio gives a very useful overview of what these programs can do, with printed examples, screenshots and files on a CD-ROM.
The chapter on cartoon animation explains the principles of character animation. This is a ideal use for Flash and there isn't very much of it around. Excellent as it is, it's a bit like trying to explain to someone how to draw - it's not that easy and can't really be covered in a single chapter of a book.
Further sections on video and sound give some good tips on manipulating external media for use within Flash. Again, this is an area that is under-utilised by Flash designers and hopefully, the ideas in this book will spark-off some imaginative work.
Going even further, Flash 5 Studio introduces the reader to the concepts of interactive, arcade-type games. Okay, arcade games have come a long way in the last 20 years and the examples given are more reminiscent of 'Galaxians' than Laura Croft, but you have to start somewhere!
I found the section on Dynamic Web applications very interesting. The book goes to great lengths to explain the pros and cons of HTML versus Flash-based Web sites and how they can be used together in a synergistic and seamless way. It doesn't have to be either/or.
If you do use a lot of Flash, it is useful to know how to circumvent the many drawbacks that are often associated with it - poor navigation, lack of search-engine indexing, slow loading etc. Luckily, most of these can be addressed with a little know-how and Flash 5 Studio certainly provides it in abundance.
At nearly $50, it is not a cheap book, but it covers as much about Flash 5 as two or three lesser books and there is a CD-ROM full of good examples that you can learn from and adapt, so it is still excellent value for money.
Flash 5 Studio | |
Manufacturer | Friends of Ed |
Price | $49.99 - Amazon price $39.99 |
Summary | A must-have for Flash lovers. |

BELLE GLADE, Fla. — After light winter volumes and high prices, buyers should expect normal spring green bean volume.
Freezes in December devastated Belle Glade and Immokalee bean production, two of south Florida's principal bean production regions.
Gary Stafford, salesman and green beans manager with Hugh H. Branch Inc., Pahokee, said growers are awaiting a more typical spring.
He said Belle Glade should return to promotable volume in early March.
"We are getting ready to start back into production on beans that were post-freeze," he said in late February. "The ones that were either in the ground prior to the freeze or planted after, they are getting ready to mature. During the month of March and for most of April, we will be running wide open on beans."
Though the timeframe of returning to promotable volume remains on schedule, Stafford said early March should bring the first promotable volume shippers have had since the December freezes.
He characterized quality as excellent and said resumption of spring volume should return prices to promotable levels.
Christian "Chris" Tordonato, sales manager of Florida Specialties Inc., Immokalee, said crops were beginning to regenerate in early February with volume slowly increasing each week. He characterized winter production at only 25% of normal.
Tordonato said he didn't expect production to return to normal seasonal levels until early March.
He said prices in February were adjusting to reduced volumes.
While bean prices shot as high as $40 for bushel cartons and crates of handpicked and machine-picked beans, prices fell to $30 in early February and by mid-February had dropped to $20.35-$22.85.
"With a little more volume, the market, which was unsettled, has been adjusting," Tordonato said. "There's always a period of adjustment as you get back into the fold."
Tordonato said beans normally sell in the $20s during the winter.
In late February, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported bushel cartons/crates of handpicked round green beans from south Florida selling for $21.35-22.85 with machine-picked selling for $20.35-20.85.

In 2010 the most efficient flight schedule for guests traveling to SKM Surf Charters, or Kandui Resort from the United States will fly into Singapore, Singapore to Jakarta where you will switch terminals, and eventually Jakarta to Padang. We've included some basic information below to help you set up your flight to Padang.
Saraina Koat Mentawai utilizes Oceanview Travel in San Clemente to handle all of our guests flight arrangements. The person you need to speak to over there is the owner, Jeff Samuelson; we highly recommend you use his services to get the most affordable rate and most knowledgeable service possible. Jeff has handled flight arrangements for literally hundreds upon hundreds of our guests and is uniquely qualified to help you out as well.
1. How do I get to Indonesia? We recommend that you travel to Padang in Sumatra (port of departure) via Singapore.
We can assist with bookings for your international flights, your Garuda air ticket to Padang, and any necessary overnight accomodations.
Our crew and ground staff will meet you at the airport in Padang on arrival and make arrangements to transfer you to the boat.
2. What do I do about my flight arrangements? Saraina Koat Mentawai utilizes Oceanview Travel to handle all of our guests air transportation issues for our United States based customers.

Local: 949.493.5231
Contact Name: Jeff Samuelson
3. Where should I stay if I have an extra night on land? This answer depends on where you have to stay for that extra night. Quite simply we suggest the following options:
Singapore: In Singapore we recommend using the Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel - "The Roxy". The Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel is a world away from Singapore's hustle, yet just 10 minutes from key locations such as the city centre, Changi International Airport and Singapore Expo, It is located on the East Coast of Singapore on Marine Parade Road Road, opposite Parkway Parade Shopping Centre and within walking distance to East Coast Recreation Park.
If you don't have enough time to leave the airport there is a "Transit hotel" inside the airport that works quite well, the only downside to this option is that they have a major construction project underway and at times your stay could get quite noisy.
Padang: The recent earthquake in Padang has destroyed all the hotels in town, accept for a few small ones, that are not very nice. We no recommend that if you need to get a hotel room, that you get it in Jakarta, instead of Padang.
Jakarta: In Jakarta we recommend the Sheraton Bandara Hotel. It is only 5 minutes from the Jakarta Airport terminal by free shuttle bus. If you would like to book a room here on your way to, or from Padang, then we would be happy to help.

As much as we like power tools, it seems some San Francisco fanatics have us beat. On Sunday afternoon at the Ace International Speedway, nearly 60 "bots" battled it out to reign supreme at the junkyard in the Power Tool Drag Races. Taking handheld power tools and modding them, participants raced their home brewed contraptions down a plywood track in weight classes such as "Super Stock," "Awful Awful Altereds," and "Funny Car" for an afternoon of "Massive Milwaukee" glory and "Devastating DeWalt" hilarity. Last year's event even garnered a spot on the Discovery Channel, along with a prominent mention in our roundup of extreme hobbies (which, if you haven't read, still makes us want to drop our copy editing pencils and pick up some rocket motors). Now where's Tim Allen when you need him?—Andrew Nusca

The New Antiques Container Stool is a part of the New Antiques Container range designed by Marcel Wanders for Moooi. The collection is characterised by the fact that the hollow 'container' base must be filled with either sand or water to create extra stability.
The rounded ornamental detailing reflects historic antique patterns as seen in the Victorian era producing a curvaceous base. As a result the stool revives the grandeur of the past but unites it with the present through current production methods - a perfect fusion of the decorative with the functional.
Four different hues can be selected making it the ideal seating solution for any space.
New Antiques Container Stool is paired with the New Antiques Container Table.

Follow-Up Postings:
i haven't heard of 'Dragon Lady' begonia. if it was on a home and garden show, i would think it would be 'Dragon Wings.' have you looked up pictures of 'Dragon Wings?' to confirm yea or nay? if there's ever a begonia you're curious about and you don't know the exact name, it'd really help if you could describe it--when at the ABS home page, you can visit their virtual greenhouse and read about the different begonia groups. is it a cane? a semperflorens? etc. there are so many begonias that this information may not be enough, but at least it's a start. good luck! |
