Two Bosses Enter: Lord Godfrey vs. Scourgelord Tyrannus! {WoW}
Mar 28th 2011 1:05PM In my opinion Godfrey wins this one. He's more agile, smarter, and he'd eventually learn the secret to kiting Tyrannus. As said before in other comments, Hunter>Warrior, even with a pet drake that inherently gives him yet even more snares to deal with. Godfrey might luck out every once and awhile and a ghoul might cancel out Overlord's Brand's usefulness. (Hits the ghoul, ghoul doesn't hit that hard/dies early canceling the ability.) His drake would eventually die to Cursed Bullets(That is if Tyrannus doesn't die first.) and it's not like the big Frost Rune on the ground is hard to avoid. I've no doubt in my mind that Godfrey would avoid pretty much all of Rimefang's abilities. The Mortal Wound would eventually stack up to 100% cutting off his ability to heal as well.
Is faction antagonism story-driven or player-driven? {WoW}
Sep 20th 2010 12:58PM It's not that she cares about what the Horde or anyone thinks, rather it's that she cares for her people. She understands them and their curse. She does not like being apart of the Horde but from her standpoint an ally against the Alliance is better than yet another enemy. If things were to end differently The Forsaken would become a third faction of sorts.
She did order the plague to be researched however she never ordered Putricide to kill those at the Wrathgate and hey, it's how she fights.
In terms of Garrosh. No one likes Garrosh, in fact I think most of the Horde, that includes players not just NPC's hate him with a firey passion. Hell he kills Cairne Bloodhoof, AND has a little bout with Vol'Jin. No one wants him to be the leader of the Horde and the story is looking like he's not gonna be around for long. Especially if he makes a mistake.
Is faction antagonism story-driven or player-driven? {WoW}
Sep 18th 2010 12:06PM I remember a developer at one of the earlier Blizzcons stating that Sylvanas didn't actually want to attack the Worgens. She was more focused on the betrayal of Varimathras and Putricide. The Forsaken were no longer trusted by the Horde hence the new guards in Undercity. As Garrosh takes control he orders Sylvanas to attack Gilneas just for the sake of having an extra port in the Eastern Kingdoms. So it is not The Forsaken attacking them, but Garrosh. She's only doing this so that the Horde won't completely distrust and kick them out.
Totem Talk: Healing Rain {WoW}
Aug 24th 2010 6:20PM Makes me sad that no one remembers where this spell came from. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the 7 Stars. The character Mallow has a spell that conjues a rain cloud that heals a single character. http://www.mariowiki.com/HP_Rain
Patch 3.3 PTR: Ghostcrawler explains Paladin changes {WoW}
Oct 28th 2009 12:44PM I gotta say this is a welcome nerf. I play a dual-spec Prot/Ret pally and I don't see a major problem. We lost a bit of mitigation and a super heal. I've never relied on sacred shield myself so, not a major deal for me. We can still use it, but now paladins have to be smarter with it/learn to deal without it.
However when I pvp on my hunter, it pisses me off to watch a ret pally pop it, and go back to full health with AoW/FoL spam, then a HoT from the damn SS. Add the bubble, +the LoH. That's a damn near unkillable pally. As to the person saying pallies are the easiest to kite, um Hand of Freedom. 15% speed boost from talents? And Exorcism with the AoW talent is an instant cast ability. If you crit so rarely that it almost never procs, than you really need to stack some more.
And yes, I have 605 resil, so I'm not poorly geared. Not amazingly geared, but I have enough resil to survive an attack. Even with 605 though, Paladins if they catch me and just hammer of lulz and destroy me. If they're not smart and waste Hammer first instead of Repentance, I have a chance.
Granted this is a pve nerf and I feel for people, but wah, we're getting nerfed, it's not a new thing. People who are QQing don't have the resil/gear or are just sad they can't roll around in BG's picking people off like the Juggernaut in a bubble. : /
Breakfast Topic: Most emotional boss encounter? {WoW}
Sep 1st 2009 5:33PM Sylvannas didn't commission an attack you idiot. The Royal Apothecary as well as Varthian in the Royal Quater took over Undercity and attacked the Wrathgate. It is a massive chain quest that every Horde player should do, just like bringing Thrall home. You really should do some research before you attack our leaders. Sylvannas had nothing to do with the Wrathgate attack, it was a huge betrayal.
Note: In Cataclysm, Sylvannas doesn't want to attack the Worgen, despite the fact that they have lost quite a few Darkstalkers to them, because she understands the difference between Gilneas, and SFK. Arugal is the one who was killing her men, Gilneas is the shut off encampment. Garrosh gets all pissy and forces her to attack them because they want a Northern Port in Kalimdor.
AND Sylvannas only joined the Horde for the sake of the matter that they were under constant attack, they don't really care much for anyone but protecting themselves. HOWERVER, they will not turn their back on the Horde and are ready to fight for them and with them ie. Battle for the Undercity in which she and Thrall take back UC.
We Have a Tabard: Don't go away mad, just go away {WoW}
Aug 30th 2009 4:22AM Gigi is terrible. -.- her rhymes are SO forced and she sounds like she just shoves them in their and prays she doesn't talk over her own words. The guy was decent, but saying, fuck, shit, fuck, and more shit, and shit about fuck. That's not rap, that's just a retard using words that rhyme and saying fuck to show us you're "Hardcore." Especially with Gigi, was like listening to a 10 year old who just learned what a cuss word was. Please, like everyone has posted, NO MORE GIGI!
P.S. I can't do any better, I'm terrible, so I will give her credit for at least making the video. /nod
Lichborne: Reputation rewards for Death Knights in Wrath of the Lich King {WoW}
Nov 30th 2008 10:17PM I read up a bit on ElitisJerk.com to figure out exactly about what you were asking. I got a great unholy spec and a lot of answers.
Haste isn't all that good because it mainly works for just our melee swings. Melee is a good chunk of dps but our talented strikes and diseases are our real bread and butter and are unaffected by haste.
Armor penetration is a meh stat because, like haste it's for white swings. Diseases will increase our damage is unaffected by Armor penetration.
Strength is our most important stat because it gives us parry, ap, and if you're unholy and grabbed impurity, it directly increases the effect of that talent, which in turn increases your damage from diseases, abilities, and spells.
Critical Strike Rating also isn't all the important due to the fact that our dots do a lot of damage and crit doesn't work for them. It's not an ignorable stat you want some crit, it's just not all that good of a stat.
Agility is a good alternative to critical strike rating due to the fact that it also gives us dodge for tanking, and crit as well.
Crit affects our melee swings, strikes, and dc. So it's good to have but not super important.
Head to ElitistJerk.com, might be jerks, I always mix it up. They have an excellent article on DK dps for all specs + glyphs and hit rotations. My dps shot up after tweaking one of their unholy specs to my liking and I love it.

The Aussie jeans label snagged Ruby in a sexy campaign that has her singing a down-and-dirty version of Blondie's 'One Way Or Another' in lingerie! Check out the raunchy clip above.
Speaking with the Daily Telegraph, Ruby said that the inspiration for the new Bombshells range of skinny jeans comes from her artist mother, Katia Langenheim.
"I remember watching mum sliding into her super-skinny JAG jeans," Rose said. "I always wanted a pair of my own. It's a rock-chic, edge, effortless vibe."
This radical new direction for JAG brings back the rock vibe that Ruby's all about. The clip above definitely shows off Ruby's "rock chic", with the starlet heating up the camera lens as she romps on the bed with hunky Jay. Too hot.
If you simply can't get enough of Ruby, relive her close-to-popping-out ARIAs moment from November:

Need to cut down on the burgers, and work on that stomach, Stevie. Nevertheless, he is super-cute.
Let's keep it polite, guys; everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Need to cut down on the burgers, and work on that stomach, Stevie. Nevertheless, he is super-cute.
Let's keep it polite, guys; everyone is entitled to an opinion.
i agree those types of posts should be condemned, and i never said you gave gays a bad name. i just wanted to point out that YOU specifically commented on YOUR tastes versus OUR tastes, and THAT, to me, is wrong. you can be concerned all you want about a particular celeb gaining weight, but all I WAS SAYING was don't condemn US for OUR TASTES.
Some of us don't see anything wrong with how Steven looks, but when you comment that we're wrong, or anything that comes close to sounding like that, it offends some of us. We have our own tastes, and we just don't like people telling us we don't have a right to have them. THAT was the purpose of my post.
And you may have responded to ONE comment, but that's not the way it seemed, to me, especially when you CONTINUE to bash other people for liking him just the way he is.
This ain't no horseshit, son. This is LIFE, so get used to it. You wanna talk shit to or about people who think different than you? Then you WILL get called out. THAT was my point, and you so easily made it for me.
Body image issues, Not just for the girls anymore!
Steven is a very handsome man with a body that is clearly well within the gauge of what is considered physically healthy. Whether that part of the range is your preference or not is another issue entirely. There are many people who like many different body types and the idea that all men of a certain age should (or should even WANT to) fit into one specific body type is a recipe for breeding and amplifying the self conscious and the body issues that have long plagued western culture.
We're old enough and mature enough to acknowledge that while some people may find a bodybuilder the epitome of physical perfection some would call that overworked, unattractive, and much rather drool over a "twinky" guy or something in between. All of that's fine. It's when we feel compelled to put forth value judgements unequivocally stating one type is better or should be considered better that we risk damaging our group psychology.
People are perfectly free (and should be) to say such mean spirited things. But quite honestly I can't understand why people do. Honestly, I thought Steven would be a little more defined when I clicked the link when I saw he wasn't I was just going to not comment. You know, rather than saying something insensitive that some teenage boy with a similar (perfectly healthy and perfectly desirable) build may read on this site and wind up internalizing in a way that may fuel some sort of inferiority complex brought on by unrealistic and unhealthy expectations society already enforces. But that's just me.
Also I'd have sex with the boy in a heartbeat because even if he's less than perfectly defined he's gorgeous.
hmmmmmm niceeeeee ;D although i think he waxes?
he's amazing!!
Ooh, I like his shoes. Anyone know what brand they are?
I didn't know EVERY actor in Hollywood had to have some hard, tight muscled assed body underneath their clothes. I mean seriously, someone should send those actors a memo, y'know?
Fatty mcfats. Just sloppy messes. SMH.
he's cute... i just don't like all those retarded tattoos he has on his body
What I would give to have a boyfriend that looked just like Steven.
He's got the hottest eyes and prettiest smile. He's so handsome.
And his body looks just fine the way it is. It's nice to know that one of the most handsome men on the planet doesn't have a ripped six pack stomach. It makes him look more normal.
I wish he was mine.
He is so fine. I would choose Steven over Taylor Lautner any day.
I'm surprised he hasn't gotten a lot of movie roles.
He almost looks like Michael Phelps there lol
I think he is gorgeous, with a bit of that 'bad boy' look going on.
In some episodes of the series he stars in, he shows (as I choose to see it) a sexy bulge. Having re-played such scenes in slow-mo...it's not just pants...me like!
Steven has got to prettiest smile of any guy on the planet right now.
Have you guys not had fantasies where you're lying naked with Steven in bed. You're both covered in sweat. You're about to pass out and he's looking at you smiling saying, "Ah come on man. Don't stop now. I want some more."
Steven just can't make a bad picture no matter what.
He has the most perfect face and smile of any man alive.
Boys everywhere just hate Steven because he looks so much more handsome than they do.
Probably why he doesn't get more acting jobs, cause they are all so jealous of him.
Haha or maybe he is too cool for them
Steven is so beatiful, I almost screamed when I saw his shirtless workout/waling-the-dog pics!
Poor Steven. His thread is already dying. Zac Efron, Taylor Lautner, and David Archuleta all have big mega threads, but no one cares about poor Steven.
Anyway, here's something I found interesting about him. I think he waxes his eyebrows, guys. Take a look, in picture number one he looks nice. But in picture number two he looks completely different. More like Ralph Macchio.
Steven leave yourself alone. You look handsome the way you are.
Anyway I'm sure Steven visits JUB all the time. How do you think he's going to feel knowing that Zac and Taylor's threads are getting more attention than his?
Here's one more picture of this handsome young man.
Yeah, I think he waxes his eyebrows too...! And he looks way better with his bushy eyebrows
Oh, Steven, you're so beautiful! (: Don't be jealouse of Zac and Taylor!
I can plead ignorance on account of being in the UK! But I have to say, he's certainly easy on the eye, and hard on the pants!
Quasar, what's up with all the folks creating new threads of people that already have existing threads? There should be a sticky note at the top of the forum that says "Before creating a new thread, please search to find the existing"
Sorry about that! (:
Merged 3 threads. We've long since learnt that members find it easier to start a new one than search for an existing one. I guess they're so excited by the subject of their infatuation that the sooner they can post about it, the better!
There's just one big one now.
finally saw the Piranah remake today...i'm hooked (pun intended)
definitely the hottest one on Vampire Diaries :P
Are you saying you agree with me or that Steven is spoiled or something. I'm sure that even he gets rejected.
Anyway, Steven makes people believe in God. Cause only God could create a guy that handsome. Plus he knows how to dress as well as you can see in the photo below.
DAMN. This boy is fine as hell.
Did anyone see vampire diaries last week when they went to get Jemery- at batting cage- did anyone happen to catch the bulge is was showing damn
Batting cage = most likely a cup.
hes my fave hottie on the show....i think he was away for so long because he was shooting a movie. if they ever kill him off for good i will quit watchin....its gettin pretty ridiculous as it is
Steven R McQueen.......thought we needed some pics of him........real and fake......
pics of him........real and fake......
pics of him........real and fake......
I saw the batting cage episode. The jeans were tight and the bulge was way too defined to be a cup. A definite cylinder and knob clearly outlined (to his right). Real ...who knows and I for one don't care. It was a sight of beauty.
Love his body, love his face. Most of all his eyes are beautiful.
he looked hot in the last episodes of VD
awesome finale
I'd love to fuck him from dawn to dusk! He is totally gorgeous!
Glad he was back in town in the series finale recently; he's managing to look both pretty and more mature! I hoped we'd finally got rid of his drippy, annoying sister Elena: she did die, but like everyone else, came back to life in the last seconds - rats!!
I am watching tonights epsiode of Vampire Dairies. Looks like he is going commando. They did a quick pan of him in a tux and he showed a nice vpl. Did anyone else catch it?
He's looking good, wish he were in more than VD though I cannot stand Nina Dobrev.
He tried to kill Elena - that's a bad sign. I figure he'll be killed off by the end of the season.
VD is one of those shows I hate and can't stop watching.
He is absolutely GORGEOUS and i'd love to get an eyefull of his DICK and BALLS swinging and flopping around!
holy shit...thursdays epidode with jeremy chopping wood in the white tee was amazing....he is getting so cut he is starting to look like chris evans' gym buddy.....wow
I love him! He's the reason i got on board with TVD! And now that he's so buff, Love him even more

For those of you who noticed that your old "tag line" under your user name had diasppearsed and became "Registered User" - Sorry about that!
I didn't notice that the "Ticket Holder" didn't take during the forums upgrade. You (and everyone else), is an A, B, C, D, or E-Ticket Holder based on your number of posts.
As for your tag, once you reach 300 posts (is that too many?) you get a "FastPass" and can edit your own tags.
Let me know if anyone has any suggestions in this regard. Thanks!

Are you ready for the ultimate battle for the skies?
Head to Fighter Pilot training school where you'll learn trade secrets from real fighter pilots and see what an SIAI Marchetti SF260 can really do when used for its true military purpose. Take the controls of an aircraft that can accelerate to 260 mph in a heartbeat and carry out two simulated missions under the guidance of former fighter pilots. Find out how to perform up to 10 maneuvers actually used by the military including formation flight, lead and lag pursuits, vertical and oblique turns and displacement rolls. Then deploy your skills in a real combat mission that'll test your abilities to the match.

Honors students must complete four HN courses with a grade of "B" or higher before they graduate. We offer honors sections of the FYS and HN 200 and 300 courses, described below. Students must take at least one HN 200 course and one HN 300 course among their four HN courses.
List of Fall 2013 courses. Browse current honors courses; search "Honors Program" and the respective semester.
HN 110/111 courses are designed to introduce freshmen students to the Honors experience: the kind of course work, the seriousness as well as the joys of the enterprise, the community of students and faculty, cultural events, etc. while completing the requirements of the First Year Seminar. Students must enroll in both HN110/111 which collectively count as one of the HN courses. This course gives first year Honors students an opportunity to get to know one another and start working together in the spirit of shared purpose.
HN 200 Seminars examine a great work, thinker, time period, or artist from various angles: artistic, scientific, historical, philosophical, religious, and so on. These courses give practice in honing in on one topic in extreme detail.
HN 300 Colloquia focus on a central theme or question and examine it from a variety of disciplines and approaches. These courses ask students to approach a broad topic from a variety of different angles in order to gain their own perspective on the topic. Since this is usually the last level of the HN curriculum taken before the student moves on to the thesis-centered half of the Honors program, we urge the inclusion of some research-related assignments/projects in these courses.
HN 397 and 398 are mandatory Honors Independent Study Thesis Proposal Courses. HN 397 is 1 credit hour and equates to about 15 contact hours with your advisor; HN 398 is 2 credit hours and equates to about 30 contact hours. This course gives you credit for researching and writing your thesis proposal and is best taken in the Spring of your junior year. Which course you take is up to you - the number of credits depends on how much time you will spend working on your research and how much time you will spend meeting with your thesis advisor.
During your senior year you also have the option of taking a XX499 level course. This gives you three credit hours on your transcript for writing your honors thesis and must be taken in the area of your thesis; e.g. EN499, BI499, etc. Unlike the HN397/8, this course is optional and must be taken through your department.
We encourage honors students to take advantage of as many opportunities as possible while at Butler University. Students who study abroad may count a pre-approved course taken abroad as one of their HN 200 or 300 courses. You must see the University Honors Coordinator before going abroad.
For students taking part in the Washington D.C. Learning Semester, you have the opportunity to enroll in a HN200 course, "Arts in the District." More information can be found on the Washington D.C. website.
If the above options don't work, students may also register for an Honors Tutorial. The tutorials offer a chance for independent study with a professor on a previously taken honors topic, or another topic of the student's choice that has been approved by the honors director. See Tutorial How-To for guidelines on setting up an honors tutorial.

Reviewed Royal Icing
Feb 24, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I love this recipe; it's my go-to icing when I'm in a pinch and has worked every time. It also hardens to a smooth, glossy finish, which looks so great on cupcakes or petit fours. The trick is to prepare it right before it's time to frost, and cupcakes are fully cooled to room temperature, otherwise it hardens quickly. """

I remember being a kid watching "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" on TV and loving the large initial "M" that was mounted on Mary Richards' wall. I told myself, "When I grow up, I'll have a 'D' that big on my wall."
Years later, I was reminded of that initial when "The New Adventures of Old Christine" aired on TV. Julia Louis-Dreyfus' character, Christine Campbell, had a large "C" on her wall. I believe it technically was a "U" on its side, which added to its whimsy.
Now that I have a house of my own, I have a "D" on my wall. Actually, I have several in my craft room because, well, I can. Each is different from the others, adding color, texture and shine to one wall of the room.
If you aren't crafty or can't find the time, there are salvage shops in which letters can be purchased. Some people find their initials on the fly. Donita Naylor, a reporter for The Providence Journal, saved the initial "n" for her last name when The Providence Journal-Bulletin changed its name and no longer printed the Bulletin. The word "Bulletin" was removed from a sign.
In surfing the Web, I see initials have become a fad and lots of people have included initials on the walls of their homes. I've seen letters in a mirror finish, découpage, wood, plaster and papier-mâché, as well as different fonts and sizes.
Personalize an initial by painting, découpaging or decorating with bling or ribbons. The initial can be left as is, too.
To découpage an initial, you'll need:
An initial, found at most craft and hobby stores
Scrapbook paper
Mod Podge, an adhesive medium, also found at craft and hobby stores
Sponge brush
Fine grain sandpaper
Acrylic paint
Scissors or craft knife
Glitter, glitter pens or glitter glue, optional
1. Paint your letter, if you want.
2. Let dry.
3. Lay the reversed initial down on the backside of your scrapbook paper, and trace.
4. Cut out the letter with scissors or a craft knife.
5. With the right side facing up, slather Mod Podge onto the letter.
6. Lay the cut-out letter on top of Mod Podge.
7. Smooth out the paper so no air bubbles are present.
8. Let dry thoroughly.
9. Smooth rough edges of paper with sandpaper.
10. Slather Mod Podge again on the paper-coated letter, trying to smooth out any air bubbles or brush marks.
If you want to add shine with glitter, add a little glitter to your Mod Podge, in a separate container so as not to contaminate the rest of the Mod Podge. Then coat the letter. Or simply sprinkle glitter onto the coated initial, dry and add another coat of plain Mod Podge. Dry.
Decorate with ribbons, pearls, rhinestones, flowers, or whatever tickles your fancy.


text: One of my favorite trombonists right from the get go when I was first exposed to jazz music over 20 years ago was Curtis Fuller. I guess my first exposure to Fuller came with his work with Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Also his work on the John Coltrane led Blue Note session Blue Train in which he helps open the track Blue Train. I realise he played on quite a number of Blue Note sessions, yeah Lee Morgan's Tom Cat which I'm listening to right now. So many I hope you might mention a few others? I recently had the good fortune to see Curtis perform with a number of other big named musicians at an area jazz show which proved to be very enjoyable. More later. So how about taking a few moments and share your love for Curtis? At the same time, I presently don't own any Curtis led dates and I would like to hear some thoughts on possible recommendations? I see The Opener has been reissued, a 1957 session recorded for Blue Note. I'd like some input on that particular session as well. Thanks.

I've pretty much only been watching this season to see the man who enlightened him, his hot British therapist, Jamie Greene. If you recognize Dr. Greene, it's because he appeared on the Fox show "Marriage 911″ back in 2005.

One of the virtues of mindmapping is that it has the capability to depict information in non-linear fashion.
Mindmapping has been taken to a new level with Personal Brain software from TheBrain.com.
This version of mindmapping is more than a mind map, as it is an information management tool that de-linearizes the process of storing and retrieving information. This type of interface would also be a great way to categorize and find trends.
What is especially cool is that these folks have created a web portal for users to upload their 'brains' for others to see.
Think of it as a next-generation Slideshare.net on caffeine.

the way they think it's supposed to be –
idealized by chic flicks and Kardashian romance.
It makes me giggle because, to me,
this thing called love is more than the
tossing of words and displays of touching lips and smiles,
hiding dirty laundry with ghosts in the closet
and the keeping of secrets about unpretty things
that happen behind closed doors, all for the need of envy
but, let them see us
outside of snapshot moments and status updates
and let them wonder why
we'd rather skip out on the party to watch t.v.
and play rummy on our un-made bed and let them see
how we fight because I forgot to wash your favorite shirt
or how pissed I can get because you didn't get the right movie
then how you say I'm sorry baby and with a kiss, it's forgotten
sweet but, a social media post just isn't required,
so I keep watching as I fold my laundry
while they chase magazine lifestyles
and compete in 140 character popularity contests.
Author Notes:
PDA is now SMDA – Social Media Displays of Affection. If this offends anyone, lighten up. I am guilty of boasting about my "sweetest guy in the world" just as much as the next girl. I wrote this to poke fun at the way social media has become this outlet to show people how in love or happy we are when in fact, life behind closed doors (or off the Facebook wall) are not so "perfect" after-all.

We hired a Giggle Booth for our wedding October 2014. We knew we had to have a photobooth at our wedding and looked around for suppliers, when we came across Giggle Booth. We made our booking via an adviser who was lovely and helpful and answered all of our questions without delay, making the experience stress free. Another great thing was that we were allowed to pay the booth off in instalments by direct debit which is a great thing that none of the other booth companies seem to offer. We… Read Full Review

We booked Gigglebooth after seeing an advertisement on Facebook..we deeply regret this decision. First of all, they turned up late on the day, nearly 2.5 hours! So they were setting up during our wedding reception. They denied turning up late to the venue and the day after the wedding was sent an invoice for the full amount...the cheek! Luckily, we had an independent wedding co-ordinator who had made a time line of the phone calls and noted time of arrival. The 'managing director' the… Read Full Review

The company misspelt my name which is "EMMA" and then printed out all of my pictures incorrect, when mentioned the woman just said "sorry you accepted the proof" which was hard work to get and was sent just days before my wedding.

Gardening resolutions for 2013
The beginning of the year is a good time to do forward thinking about your life, your finances, and — maybe even more appropriate — your garden. Since there's very little most of us in Zone 3 can do right now to screw up a frozen garden, a little planning now can pay off when spring comes. Can't say the same about other life decisions.
So, while I never make resolutions to lose weight or read more fiction, I am making a list of pledges for the 2013 garden. Here's my list:
1) Do more planning and documentation. (Or, at least do some planning and documentation.)
In the past, I've just gotten dirty, planting almost all my seeds on a single day, and then forgetting what I planted and where it was sown. I ended up sowing a few plants too close together, while at the same time missing a few spots in one of the beds that could have been productive.
So, this year, I'm going to be hyper-organized. I'll start with a grid, laid out both on paper and in the garden, with an "A-B-C ... 1-2-3..." format (sort of a horticultural "Battleship" game). So, I'll know, for example, which row has the lettuce and which the spinach. I've yet to figure out how to put permanent markings on my raised beds, but I've got some time to come up with a system.
I'll also keep better track of succession plantings on my paper version of the grid. That way, I won't end up with too much lettuce or daikon radishes all at the same time. (In fact, I'm thinking of skipping the daikons altogether this year; they weren't such a big hit last year.)
2) Try new things.
This year, I'm planning to try some beets, snow peas and pok choi. I like each of these and I think they should do well in this climate. I'm making room for them by cutting back on my tomatoes a bit, dropping the daikons, and through the use of the planning grid, which will identify all possible areas for productive planting. I may even cut back a little on the delicata squash I love so much, since it takes over so much of my garden, but I'll try to deal with that better with my next resolution, which is ...
3) Do more vertical gardening.
I've got to do a better job of trellising my cucumbers, squash, beans and peas. Last year, I tried to build some trellises out of spare fencing material and some scrap lumber. The results were not pretty and proved less effective than they need to be. So, this year, I'm going to bite the bullet and purchase some items that should not only work better, but should also last several seasons. Since my 236 square foot garden is still smaller than my dreams, I have to make more room available in the dirt for planting. And, that leads right into my next resolution ...
4) Plant an extra seed.
Last season, I ended up harvesting so many things at one time that we couldn't eat everything or even find room in the freezer for it. And, because Mrs. Zone3 didn't keep up with her 2012 resolution to learn everything there is to know about canning, a lot of the tomatoes and beans that we didn't give away to neighbors went into the compost pile.
That's not going to happen this year. In fact, I'm resolving to plant a little extra this year and donate it to our area food bank in Duluth, the Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank. They've assured me they have a demand for fresh produce. I'm asking my neighbors who are serious veggie gardeners to join me, so we can share in the transportation and provide sufficient quantity each week or two of the gardening season to justify the trip into Duluth for delivery.
If you have a food bank in your area, I'd encourage you to do the same. Second Harvest says they welcome produce donations, particularly of the common vegetables most people are familiar with. So, if you're donating something unusual, you might want to include a description of it and a recipe to help the inexperienced person prepare it for the table.
So ... what's on your list of 2013 gardening resolutions?

gardening in zone 3
Hi there! I have never tried gardening at such a high elevation.. and I look forward to the challenge this year. Is there any chance of growing greens (salad and otherwise) in this region? I will be at 7500 feet. When do you usually plant and when are the seasons designated? I am used to long growing seasons.. so I got a little scared when I saw the last freeze date was July11 and the first is August11 where I will be. But finding your blog brought new hope to me!! If you have time, I'd love to correspond and brainstorm with you. Thank you for all you do!

So glad to find allnurses.com
10Sep 15, '12 by IsitpossibleAs a new nurse I feel completely inept and incompetent at times (which everyone says is normal) . I am very happy to find this forum for us newbies , b/c we need the support of one another!! I graduated in Dec, passed boards in Feb, got hired in May in LTC... I am truly overwhelmed sometimes and forget alot of what I learned.. Many nights I come home and read my med surge book just to refresh my memory and it does work... Now when I read my textbooks it makes more sense b/c Im actually seeing things daily rather then every other weekend in clinical. Nursing is truly a profession where we continue to learn each and every day and I look forward to learning from my fellow newbies!
2Sep 16, '12 by PediLove2147Welcome! I found this site while in school and it has helped me with every step of my nursing career. I couldn't imagine passing the NCLEX, starting my first job, surviving my first job, and so on without allnurses.
2Sep 16, '12 by LalaJJBI feel like an idiot every shift. For example, I was bringing a patient to the ICU and she was the kind of patient who's O2 sats would plummet if she was taken off oxygen... anyway, while transferring her from the ER bed to the in-patient bed, I unplugged her O2 and was trying to plug it into the O2 on the wall in her new room. Long story short, I couldn't figure out how to plug in the O2 to the wall in the ICU room...the pt's O2 sats went to 81%, she was breathing at like 34 breaths a minute, bells were going off everywhere.... Needless to say, EVERYONE in the ICU room hated me. I couldn't get out fast enough.... the patient was OK thank God...but still, basic nursing skills that I failed to recognize. Blah!Isitpossible and natnat122 like this.
2Sep 17, '12 by Cute♥Nurse♥UnleashedI found this site AFTER I graduated and started working. I wish I found it before I even had to do pre-reqs when preparing to get into nursing school. This site is SOOO helpful! Working in my current hospital wasn't all that easy when I first started here, but finding this site and learning that I wasn't the only going through the things I did was a huge comfort and better than seeing a psychiatrist!
I LOVE this site! -
1Sep 26, '12 by IsitpossibleLaLaJJB: that was hilarious!! thanks for the laugh... I just came home from a loong day at work, and that laughter felt great!! thanks for sharing.JJMRN2B likes this.

About Critter & Guitari
Critter & Guitari create beautiful products for music lovers and tinkerers alike.
Their KALEIDOLOOP, available through our Ultimate Guide Guide, is a social, portable sound collector. It's designed to be taken anywhere and everywhere to gather and manipulate all kinds of sounds. Record sounds from your kitchen, the recording studio, and campï¬re jam.
About Fort Standard
Fort Standard is a contemporary design studio founded in 2011 by industrial designers Gregory Buntain and Ian Collings. Their collaborative work is a manifestation of their shared vision and progressive design approach which pairs timeless materials with modern process. Often using traditional methods of production in innovative ways, the designers have developed a unique form langugae rooted in simplicity and functionality. Their attention to detail, connections and materiality generate value through design in what Buntain and Collings describe as a "warm-contemporary" aesthetic.
Fort Standard's Balancing Blocks for Core77's Ultimate Gift Guide are oak blocks tumbled in a water-based paint. Arrange these faceted "stone" shapes to create your own sculpture or choreograph a balancing act. Good for all ages.

About Snarkitecture
Fresh off the recent success of their "Drift Pavilion" for Design Miami, Snarkitecture is a collaborative practice operating in territories between the disciplines of art and architecture. Working within existing spaces or in collaboration with other artists and designers, the practice focuses on the investigation of structure, material and program and how these elements can be manipulated to serve new and imaginative purposes. Searching for sites within architecture with the possibility for confusion or misuse, Snarkitecture aims to make architecture perform the unexpected.
Snarkitecture's Cast Light for Core77's Ultimate Gift Guide is hand-formed and individually cast using white gypsum cement creating a tabletop geography of light and shadow.

A Gorgeous New Ring
My friends and I love to wear beautiful jewelry and we are always searching for more. My friend Nancy found a new online site when she clicked on a click here tab. She said that they had a lot of silver and stone jewelry for sale. She ordered a new ring and she adores it. I was impressed with it because it is so well made. I think that she made a great selection and I cannot wait to order from this site.

Field Report: Studio Technologies 210 and 220
I am a gearhead. If there's a technical journal or audio magazine out there, I read it. So I have a good idea of what's on the market. For years, I've been looking for the ultimate announcer box and have gone through more than a few versions of the hand-built boxes. So when Mark Haynes at Leo's Pro Audio in Oakland showed me the Model 220 from Studio Technologies and said, "you've got to look at this thing," I did. And I had to have them.
To my knowledge, there is no other box that puts the features of the 220 into a package this clean. In fact, if I were to design something myself, it would look and work a lot like the Model 220.
This year, I used the 220s for two of the biggest sporting events of the year. For the 2004 NCAA college basketball championship coverage, pre-game hosts Mike Francesa and Chris Russo of WFAN-AM in New York got a chance to see how well the boxes performed.

Prior to that, I worked at the Super Bowl at Houston's Reliant Stadium as part of an engineering team working for CBS Radio/Westwood One. The team included Al Rosenberg, an engineer from Detroit who served as game mixer, and Atlanta-based John Kramer, the field engineer. I mixed the pre-game, halftime and post-game segments and acted as an all-around troubleshooter. Together, we devised a game plan worthy of the big showdown. In the booth, announcers Marv Albert (play-by-play) and Boomer Esiason (color analyst) used Model 210s (with one main and one talkback output) with a third set up in a spare position. Two Model 220s with two talkback outputs were used for Jim Gray (host of the pre-game, halftime and post-game shows) and a monitor mix hub position with its mic/talkback line active.
I was able to talk down my program line, as well as to my producers and main mixer in one little box.
The 220 includes many features. The low-noise, low-distortion mic preamp provides 20dB to 60dB of gain. A compressor and limiter circuit provides a 5:1 nominal slope with attack and release times of 2ms and 100ms respectively.
The 220's output transformer is designed to drive long broadcast cable runs, and the main output mic button can operate from among four modes: push-to-mute (or cough button), push-to-talk, or two alternate latching configurations that enable or disable the main output. The talkback 1 button acts as push-to-talk or latching switch (enable-disable). Talkback 2 can be disabled (when talkback 1 is used alone), or used in special momentary and alternate action latching functions that control the 220's auxiliary relay.
The 210 measures 5.6"W × 3.3"H × 8.5"L and weighs 3.4 pounds. The 220 measures 8.1"W × 3.3"H × 8.5"L and weighs 4.5 pounds. Both run on 24Vdc, which can be supplied through the power connector or through the IFB input jack. Both units have a mic input, IFB input, headphone output and main output. The 210 has a single mic input and a single talkback output. The 220 has a mic input, two line inputs and two talkback outputs. The two units are similar in function, except that the 220 adds additional inputs.
A comprehensive manual describes the operating characteristics and internal switch settings to operate the units.

This bilingual blog - 'आन्याची फाटकी पासोडी' in Marathi- is largely a celebration of visual and/or comic ...तुकाराम: "ढेकणासी बाज गड,उतरचढ केवढी" (Tukaram: For a bedbug a bed is like a castle. so much climbing up and down!)... George Santayana: " Everything in nature is lyrical in its ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence"...William Hazlitt: "Pictures are scattered like stray gifts through the world; and while they remain, earth has yet a little gilding."
G C Lichtenberg: "It is as if our languages were confounded: when we want a thought, they bring us a word; when we ask for a word, they give us a dash; and when we expect a dash, there comes a piece of bawdy."
W H Auden: "But in my arms till break of day / Let the living creature lie. / Mortal, guilty, but to me/ The entirely beautiful."
Werner Herzog: "We are surrounded by worn-out, banal, useless and exhausted images, limping and dragging themselves behind the rest of our cultural evolution."
John Gray: "Unlike Schopenhauer, who lamented the human lot, Leopardi believed that the best response to life is laughter. What fascinated Schopenhauer, along with many later writers, was Leopardi's insistence that illusion is necessary to human happiness."
Art Spiegelman: "You know words in a way are hitting you on the left side of your brain, music and visual arts hit on the right side of the brain, so the idea is to pummel you, to send you from left brain to right brain and back until you're as unbalanced as I am."
विलास सारंग: "संदर्भ कुठलेही असोत, संस्कृत, इंग्रजी, बुद्धिवादी, तांत्रिक, इतिहासाचे, खगोलशास्त्राचे, आधुनिक पदार्थविज्ञानाचे, शिवकालीन व पेशवाईतील बखरीचे, अगणित ज्ञानक्षेत्रांचे, अशा वैविध्यपूर्ण ज्ञानावर लेखन- विशेषत: कवितालेखन- उभं राहत."

Shallow People Demand Variety. Even in Cartoon Captions!
"Shallow people demand variety – but I have been writing the same story throughout my life, every time trying to cut nearer the aching nerve"
When I read this quote as epigraph of G A Kulkarni's (जी ए कुलकर्णी) "Pingla Vel", 1977 (पिंगळा वेळ) sometime in the late 70's, I was startled.
First I thought it was a clever ploy of an artist: Just keep repeating the same story by changing names of the characters. (Actually I have read a Marathi book of short stories by a female writer where every story is same except the names of the characters!)
But since then I have realised that it infact is "the same story".
At some level, Vyasa's 'The Mahabharata' and Francis Ford Coppola's 'The Godfather' (1972) are "the same stories". Both profoundly beautiful and cathartic.
G A himself has indeed written "the same story" a few times. My current favourite philosopher John Gray seems to be writing the same stuff. Cartoonist Bruce Eric Kaplan seems to be drawing the same picture again and again. Homer Simpson, Doug Heffernan, Ray Barone react to the life in the same manner in every episode of their respective TV shows.
And I seem to enjoy their "same" stuff.
Is that a bad thing?
Even to survive in this complex world one may keep using the same strategy as illustrated below.
I first read about Prisoner's Dilemma in the essay by Douglas R. Hofstadter for Scientific American (May 1983), now part of his book "Metamagical Themas", Penguin 1985.
What is Prisoner's Dilemma?
"In it, two prisoners accused of the same crime find themselves in separate cells, unable to communicate. Their jailers try to persuade them to implicate one another. If neither goes along with the guards, they will both receive a sentence of just one year. If one accepts the deal and the other keeps quiet, then the turncoat goes free while the patsy gets ten years. And if they both denounce one another, they both get five years.
If the first prisoner is planning to keep quiet, then the second has an incentive to denounce him, and so get off scot-free rather than spend a year in prison. If the first prisoner were planning to betray the second, then the second would still be better off pointing the finger, and so receive a five-year sentence instead of a ten-year one. In other words, a rational, self-interested person would always betray his fellow prisoner. Yet that leaves them both mouldering in jail for five years, when they could have cut their sentences to a year if they had both kept quiet."
"Strategy for the classic prisoner's dilemma...interest in the iterated prisoners dilemma (IPD) was kindled by Robert Axelrod in his book The Evolution of Cooperation (1984). In it he reports on a tournament he organized of the N step prisoner dilemma (with N fixed) in which participants have to choose their mutual strategy again and again, and have memory of their previous encounters. Axelrod invited academic colleagues all over the world to devise computer strategies to compete in an IPD tournament. The programs that were entered varied widely in algorithmic complexity, initial hostility, capacity for forgiveness, and so forth...
...The best deterministic strategy was found to be tit-for-tat, which Anatol Rapoport developed and entered into the tournament. It was the simplest of any program entered, containing only four lines of BASIC, and won the contest..."
A menacing sounding, almost like taking revenge, actually it's a very simple strategy:
"Cooperate on move 1;
thereafter , do whatever the other player did the previous move."
When translated in a computer program , it won against very complex and cunning strategies.
It was an eye opener. I learnt you don't have to be clever and cunning to be effective.
I have struggled with The New Yorker cartoon caption contest. This blog is littered with those attempts.
But maybe I just missed a simple trick, a kind of 'Tit_for_tat' for the contest- one caption fits all.
Cory Arcangel thought about it: read it by visiting What a Misunderstanding!.
He says: "I think the same joke over and over becomes something eternal".
Look at the following picture from The New Yorker Caption Contest.
The winning entry is brilliant:
"Well, you're the one who insisted on the smoking section." by John Pignata, Brooklyn, N.Y.
But look at the caption below the picture.
Artist: Christopher Weyant
Caption: Cory Arcangel
I decided to try this in Marathi.
'What a Misunderstanding!' translates in Marathi as "केवढा गैरसमज!"
Artist: Vasant Sarwate (1969) sourced from his book "The Best of Sarwate" editor: Avadhoot Paralkar, Lokvangmay Gruh 2008
वसंत सरवटे (1969) "सरवोत्तम सरवटे" संपादक: अवधूत परळकर, लोकवाङ्मय गृह 2008
Caption when translated in English reads:
Aurangzeb:-"This is brilliant, Samarth! I understand, for all your life, you spied for me and were on our payroll; but until the end even I never got to know about both! Secrecy has to be maintained like this!! Bravo..."
Replace it with: "केवढा गैरसमज!"
Not Bad, eh?
What a misunderstanding! About the importance of variety!

Poor John…it really Isn't funny what happened to him…something the neighborhood will Never forget as long as they…and the Pattersons…live in the same place… ;)
This is a Canadian strip. 1) Shouldn't be "neighbourhood"? 2) Almost reminding me of Canadian band Glass Tiger song "Someday" (someday you'll be shedding your tears to cry [tears of laughter] over me, someday I'll be losing this fear).
One of my favorite quotes: "If it is going to be funny later it might as well be funny now."
This is best shared before an actual moment when it is appropriate, or in John's case, a bit later.
YOU are forewarned.
The cop should have told Anne what great friends she has. Friends who to put themselves in this situation for the comfort of her child because in her neglect and hurry to get away she did not porovide ALL of the things her son would need to be comfortable and less of a challage to the people you are imposeing upon.
And No I'm with John it is NOT funny if I were him peeved off I would have told Elly she got talked into taking the kid so SHE can climb in window.
I feel sorry for John…he didn't want to get caught up in the whole situation but Elly persists him to go ahead and do it. The kid could've used the Pattersons' potty and if it was really important, than Annie should've brought it over when she randomly asked Elly to babysit her boys. And why was she gone for that long anyway, why did she come back with her husband? Were they arguing about how spoil Richard's going to be? I sure hope Annie doesn't ask Elly and John to babysit again…I don't see how Richard will survive another day without his special potty
Oh, come on you guys. Get a grip. It IS FUNNY.
He didn't get hurt. He didn't get to spend at night in jail. He didn't even leave the neighboooouuurhood… -
not funny at all, now, at least. getting arrested,, in a cop car. well cops kill nowadays, used to be just put you in jail, but now copy kill.
later it will be funny, but not now to john at least. -
Sisterdame, you try having to sit, handcuffed in a police car on the side of road while everyone drives by and sees you. Especially when all that has happened is that your auto insurance(in another state had lapsed), no real crime and see how you like it.
Your last word has me laughing more than at any of the comics I've seen today.
Sorry you had to go through that, IndyMan.
The only part I feel sorry for John is that he listened to Elly.
Some-day, but not to-day.
In other words… SHADDUP!!! -
Jeeze, people – It's a comic strip, not the police blotter. Lighten up, or switch to reading Dick Tracy.
In my opinion, Elle is way out of line laughing. She was the cause of the whole thing. She would be door slamming mad if it were reversed.
