text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 480 - 30 September, 1997 Written Answers - Independent International Criminal Court. Ms Shortall Ms Shortall 1010 [1010] 62. Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs his views on the recent statement by the US President calling for the establishment of an international court to prosecute human rights offenders. [14747/97] Mr. Dukes Mr. Dukes 63. Mr. Dukes asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the position the Government is taking in relation to proposals currently before the UN to establish an independent international criminal court to prosecute perpetrators of genocide, aggression, war crimes and other crimes against humanity; whether the Government supports the proposition that such a court should not be subject to veto by any national Government; whether the Government supports the proposals to give individuals' and citizens' groups, as well as national Governments and the Court's prosecutor, the right to bring cases before the Court; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14619/97] Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr. R. Burke) Raphael P. Burke Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr. R. Burke): I propose to take Questions Nos. 62 and 63 together. Ireland is firmly committed to the establishment of an international criminal court to prosecute violations of international humanitarian laws. This commitment has been reiterated on many occasions in the various relevant fora, including at the UN General Assembly. Ireland recognises that there is a growing acceptance throughout the international community that violations of international humanitarian law constitute a threat to international peace and security. In the light of the proliferation of heinous offences in the world, Ireland feels that the case for the establishment of a permanent international criminal court is stronger than ever. It is only through such a body that the international community can effectively demonstrate that massive human rights violations must never go unpunished. President Clinton's recent statement at the United Nations General Assembly calling for the establishment of a permanent international court is therefore to be greatly welcomed. Ireland has participated actively at the several meetings of the preparatory committee which has been set up to discuss the establishment of an international criminal court; and it is intended that Ireland will participate at the diplomatic conference to be held in 1998 which will be charged with finalising and adopting a convention establishing an international criminal court. Ireland has supported the principle that the court should be independent, in particular from non-legal and non-judicial considerations, and that its prosecutor should be able to investigate all cases free from political pressure. 1011 There are, however, certain practical reservations to be taken into account with regard to giving the power to bring cases before the court [1011] to individuals and non-governmental organisations. Such an approach could discourage a large number of states from becoming party to the convention which will eventually establish the court. From a pragmatic point of view, the widest possible level of ratification of the convention is necessary to ensure the success of the court.

My co-worker has a "no sweats" policy. He believes there is no excuse to ever wear sweatpants outside the house unless you are actually sweating at the gym. I'm trying to get my head around this. An avid sweats-wearer, I own everything from really ratty paint-the-house sweats to upscale Lululemon yoga pants. And I have to admit that, until recently, I thought sweats said "casual" and "young." But lately I've noticed a strange phenomenon: the same choices that screamed "immature" in my twenties now flatly state "middle-aged housewife." When did dressing down start to make me look older? Why can a T-shirt and leggings look runway hot on a younger person, but make a 40-something look like she's gearing up to clean house? I'm still working on the answer, analyzing the ever-changing T-shirt cuts as I try to keep my wardrobe current. I'm also looking more closely at fellow middle-agers who boldly wear athletic tops outside the yoga studio. While I don't take the hardline stance of my co-worker, I've come up with a few "DON'Ts" to keep our judgment in tip-top shape. If you've got these, keep the sweats behind closed doors.
Beer Gut: It may feel like that $70 worth of spandex is holding you together, but if your waist is over 27" you look like a thick-in-the-middle old person. It's admirable that you made it to Pilates, but you need to head back before sharing your core.
Big Boobs: If you've got 'em, you know that high impact sports aren't for you. Running in a yoga top – no matter how industrial – is bad form and totally unflattering. Save the rack display for an outfit that complements your curves.
Back Fat: 'nuff said.
Check yourself against the "Three Bs" checklist to see if your athletic wear is street-ready. If any of the three Bs applies to you, ditch the yoga top or better yet, throw a loose-yet-hip T-shirt over it.

USI team among 'final four' in national accounting competition
Contact for more information:
Betty Vawter Senior Editor, News & Information Services 812/480-1873 Team members were Anu Asthana, a Master of Business Administration student from Evansville Brett Bueltel, a senior in accounting from Newburgh, Indiana, Matt Mitchell, a senior in accounting and finance from Elberfeld, Indiana and Ashley Scott, a senior in accounting from Oaktown, Indiana. Faculty advisors were Jeanette Maier-Lytle, instructor in accounting, and Dr. Brian McGuire, associate dean of the College of Business and professor of accounting. Accounting teams from across the country presented their cases on DVD for the initial round of judging. The four teams chosen for the finals made presentations on June 5 at the 92nd annual IMA Conference and Exposition. Each team qualifying for the finals received an award of $3,000. Students from Elon University won the contest. According to competition rules, other finalists tie for second place. Teams from Western Illinois University and Wright State University joined USI as runners-up. This was the sixth consecutive year for USI students to qualify for the national finals. "The sustained exceptional performance of our students in this national case competition exemplifies their commitment to excellence and the caliber of their professional skills," said Dr. Mohammed Khayum, dean of the College of Business. "Reaching the finals for the sixth year in a row is a tremendous accomplishment and is illustrative of the quality of the educational experience provided by our accounting and business programs." In this year's case, students assumed responsibility for helping guide the transition of a fictional airlines from a government-owned entity to a private company. Team members prepared a profitability analysis of each market segment, determined the breakeven volume for one route, prepared a SWOT analysis, and developed recommendations for an overall strategy. Prior to leaving for the national conference, the team presented the case in a formal practice setting to Doug Joest, airport manager, and Dennis Guthery, accounting manager for the Evansville-Vanderburgh Airport Authority District, in the boardroom at Evansville Regional Airport. Joest is a certified public accountant and member of the College of Business Board of Advisors. "After their presentation, I asked them some industry specific questions," he said, "and they were able to respond quickly and professionally. They came across as a very competent and experienced professional team." Maier-Lytle said the USI students gave an outstanding presentation at the conference and handled themselves well during the question-and-answer session that followed. The annual case competition gives students an opportunity to analyze a management accounting problem and communicate a solution. The IMA conference was held June 4-8. During the meeting, McGuire was named chair of the organization's Board of Directors for 2011-12. The association for accountants and financial professionals in business, IMA has more than 60,000 members in 120 countries. |

Newbie! I recently planted ajuga at the edge of one of my shade gardens due to having a very hard time getting grass to grow. Should I be concerned this will become too invasive in years to come. If so, anything else you recommend that will be easier to contain.
I'd also appreciate your thoughts on pachysandra. I am considering planting this under some old oaks (my 3acre yard is complete shade and very rocky). Thanks in advance for any suggestions. |

ajuga is slowly taking over my little patch of lawn- and I rather like it, since I think lawns in general are boring and a pain in the keister to maintain...I would think that a simple 'pound into the ground' edging would contain the poor stuff if it bothers you... I've really come to love the pachys I planted at my dad's in desperation one year...three years later, they're starting to make nice thick beds, and since I planted one round of plains, and one round of striped- I'm actually getting some variation in the beds. you can naturalize daffodils in the beds, they come up, they bloom, they die, and you can just tuck the spend leaves under the pachys... it's quite pretty in the spring. |
Hi. I'm a newbie, too, and 2 yrs. ago I bought some Ajuga to fill in under a clump Maple tree. The following Spring it had spread so incredibly it scared me. Thus, I decided it was too invasive for the small area I put it in and moved it to an area that's not watered regularly and it croaked. (I wasn't sad.) My neighbor, a knowledgeable gardener, told me it's very aggressive and she pulls it out only to find more elsewhere. In the right spot, it could be a good solution. It wasn't for me. I do have pachy "green sheen" and love it. It's more behaved and predictable. The leaves are much darker green than the usual pachy and look like they have been polished. I had never seen it before and now wouldn't have any other kind. Everyone remarks how beautiful it is. I have a Sum and Substance (chartruse leaves) hosta next to it and it's a great foil. Go to My Page, second photo. It's on the left side of the bridge (next yr. I'll take better pix. I'm new to digital camera stuff, too!) Happy digging. Honey |
I happen to love ajuga, although I do understand how it could be a problem. You'll probably have a good idea after the first year how vigorous it will be in your location. It's not very hard to dig it up if it gets out of line, unless it's wedged tighly in among a thick lawn. I have some growing around the edge of a raised bed in dry shade, and it is growing very slowly. It doesn't bloom very much where it is. Since I have trouble growing just about anything in this spot it's working out very well for me. As chinacat suggests, an edgeing would work if you need to keep it out of the lawn, unless you like to keep it spreading as a lawn replacement. Pachy isn't my personal favorite, but it's nice enough, and I find it well behaved. Some varieties are more interesting than the basic type. The roots arene't terribly deep, and I've found it very easy to move if needed. If I wanted "no-brainer" landscaping I would use more of it. I enjoy weeding and like to have lots of variety of plants to look at, so I intend to keep my pachy patch small. |

I had some very nice ajuga in a dry spot that had partial shade but some sun during the afternoon. It was great for a number of years and had beautiful blue flower stalks in the spring, but then it started to die off in the spot where I wanted it and coming up all over the grass where I didn't want it. I tried replanting the area but didn't have much success with it. It was relatively easy to dig up from the grass, so I don't think that's a terrible problem. Pachysandra is much easier to manage and I've had it in a shady spot for about fifteen years with no problems. It kills weeds, needs very little maintenance and looks nice year round. |
Thanks for all the follow-ups, they were very helpful. I have put a divider between the bed and the Ajuga in hopes to keep it from invading the other plants. The lawn is not a problem, it is in an area with deep shade and we are having a very hard time getting grass to grow. We have about 20 full size oaks in the front yard alone so grass stands little chance (not to mention 2 full size Chocolate Labs and twin 4yr olds). I have planted the pachy in 2 small areas. We will see if it does okay thru the St Louis winter. Thanks again! |

You should visit the Ozarks forum here at Gardenweb. I'm not sure whether the St. Louis area is considered part of the Ozarks. I think it's on the edge but close enough. Your growing conditions are probably very much the same - especially since you mentioned rocks. Lots of us with large yards and acreage in that forum too (and rocks). Usually oaks are considered good to garden under though, so you may have good luck getting plants to grow there even though the grass doesn't do well. I have twins too! They are 5 years old (almost six). |

Here is a link that might be useful: Ozarks Region Gardening
Christie SW MO - Thanks for the reminder on the Ozark Forum, I had not visited that sight in quite some time. I find all these sights so helpful. Now that my twins are at an "easy age", I have so much more time to actually get a little yard work done and am enjoying every minute, now just if everything grows! |
I have Ajuga under my shade trees. I love it because it grows in thick and chokes out weeds. Come spring the ajuga produces pretty little purple flowers that last for a very long time. It's a pretty sight and I've gotten lots of compliments on it. If it becomes too much for you, it's very easy to thin out. Good Luck. Pam, Pensacola, FL |

I have it planted among other perennials in my shade garden. Is it going to choke out all of the other perennials or will it just fill in the spaces between them ? I am going for the "filled in spaces" look. Definitely don't want to lose any plants because of ajuga's nature. Please advise ! Amy |
i was considering planting ajuga underneath a large cedar that i have.Do you think it will do well there? |
It's been my experience that the cultivars of Ajuga, like 'Burgundy Glow'(one of my favorites), move much, much more slowly than the straight species. A. 'Chocolate Chip', for example, is very slow. |
I've just purchased some "chocolate chip ajuga," but it was very expensive and I didn't get enough to space it as it says on the card, 10"-14" apart. Can you please tell me how this spreads...does it send runners underground where it will just take longer to fill in if I space them further apart? Or does it only grow to a certain size? Then will I have to divide it and move it around? Would appreciate if someone could send me an email about this at email@example.com. Thanks so much for your help. |

If anyone in the CT area is looking for ajuga, we have plenty...It's slowly but surely taking over my lawn...come help yourself!!! Seems the more that I take out this year, the more that comes back/shows up next year. |
In that case, Mrs. Fixit, wouldn't it be dangerous to give it away? ;o) |

I've got a patch of ajuga as a ground cover in my entry garden that I love. It needs thinning and I want to take what I thin and plant them in other areas. Does anyone know the best way to do this? My 'patch' is about 5ftx5ft and very thick. Any suggestions appreciated! ciao |
I work for an organic lawn care company, and despite the fact that Ajuga is praised my many as a great ground cover, which I believe it is, IT IS IN FACT INVASIVE and I have many clients that disgruntled by the fact that it has gotten into their lawns (let me state I love all weeds!) but have to please the client... Ajuga can grow in patches the size of a dinner plate or take over the whole lawn if the conditions are right. Also I read it is poisonous if any part of the plant is digested... |

I really love how ajuga spreads through a shady lawn. Sometimes I help it out by weeding the grass around it. I have some large ten foot square areas of it in the lawn and they are beautiful! It was here long before I bought the house, so I have no idea how long it took to get that established. |
Tried planting Ajuga (chocoate chip) with no success. I have Pachysandra Terminalis growing great under a maple. After a few years I felt it was spreading too far so i took some good 6 inch wide edging and constrained the growth to where I want it. It looks great. It eats up the leaves that fall on it and takes close to zero care. Yes, they will grow under the edging, but it seems it takes a lot out of them and the small sprouts are easy to keep controlled. When they are held in an enclosure they get high, thick and lush. Nothing else stands a chance. If left to ramble the only thing that will stop it is sunshine and it will not grow out into the sunny areas. |
I had planted Pachysandra 'Green Carpet' under a river birch, but removed after reading it likes to spread. I saved one plug, and planted it in some dried out dirt on the north side of a garage. The space is under an overhang, and rarely gets any moisture from rainshowers. Let me say, after only one year, the Pachy has already begun to put up new shoots and seems to be very content there. The area is constrained by brick borders embedded in the ground, so hopefully that will contain it... I've read it does well with other perennials and does especially well growing amongst tree roots. It even does well under evergreens! |
Sometime during the 21st century, someone in our neighborhood purchased and set out burgundy ajuga. By this spring, 2010, every lawn in the neighborhood has some patches of ajuga. My lawn has been nearly taken over. The only thing that holds it in check at all is full, all-day sun. Two neighbors have had to re-sod this spring. Be warned! Ajuga spreads by roots, by runners, by seeds, by sheer cussedness. Any way a plant can spread, ajuga spreads. And since it is PURPLE, it is not really a good lawn replacement, to my way of thinking. |

Ajuga is all over my neighborhood from seeding. I don't mind it (free plants, right?) but your neighbors might. I can't say enough good about pachysandra. Such a great groundcover and I love the idea of tucking daffodils into it. Now I'm off to find more pachysandra! I'm inspired! Yay!!! Megan |

Another Apple Market Share Rant
May 2nd, 2012There are published reports this week that claim that Samsung sold more smartphones than Apple in the last quarter, reclaiming a number one position. Good news for Samsung; that is, if the news can be believed. You see it's not based on any actual sales information from Samsung. According to one of those reports, "Since Samsung doesn't report unit numbers, IDC and its competitors have to estimate how many devices the company sells."
But those estimates aren't even consistent. IDC estimated 42.2 million smartphone shipments for Samsung, compared to Apple's 35.1 million number. Yet another firm, Strategy Analytics, pegged Samsung's smartphone shipments at 44.5 million units, but IHS iSuppli said it was "only" 32 million. That figure, if true, would leave Apple in the lead, a position they earned in the previous quarter.
Now when you see estimates with that much variation, you have to wonder whom to believe. Besides, that Samsung might have shipped over 40 million units doesn't tell us how many they actually sold to real people. That company wouldn't be the first to flood the market with product to pad their totals. Besides, if Samsung's smartphones really outsold the iPhone by such a huge margin, why aren't they touting those numbers to the skies? Why keep it all a secret?
That behavior sounds suspicious, even if it's normal corporate behavior. Certainly Apple doesn't break down sales in as detailed a fashion as analysts might want, but at least you get actual totals for a product category; well, mostly. I don't recall much being said about the third generation Apple TV.
Forgetting the uncertainty over whether Apple is number one or number two among smartphone makers, the real issue is whether it really matters. Just how many sales does Apple have to report to remain competitive in the markets in which they participate? Back in 2007, Steve Jobs said he'd be happy if the iPhone had 1% of the cell phone space by the end of 2008. As of the last quarter, the iPhone stands at 8.8%, although that, too, is based on an IDC estimate. So make of that what you will.
The same market share argument is being made about the iPad, which is consistently described as Apple's market to lose. As more and more competitors appear, how will the iPad fare? Would the reports that makers of Android tablets plan to move to the low end hurt Apple, particularly among people for whom a starting price of $399 is perhaps a little too high? But it's also reported that half of the current Android OS tablet sales may be attributed to the Amazon Kindle Fire. Yes, it's an Android device, although the interface has been thoroughly customized by Amazon, so the connection is not readily apparent. For better or worse, the Android version Amazon uses is rather old as far as a mobile OS goes.
But some tech pundits suggest that Apple shouldn't worry about Android as much as they should worry about that onslaught of Windows 8 tablets that's due later this year. Of course, that assumes that Windows 8 ships on time, and even then, there's no evidence whatever that Microsoft will find a silk purse in the sow's ear this time. It's not as if that highly-touted Metro interface has shown any serious traction on Windows Phone devices. Yes, Microsoft's alliance with Nokia is said to signify a whole new ballgame. But Nokia's stock has fallen to the junk level, and the new Windows Phone handsets, particularly the Lumia 900 being touted by AT&T, may be the only hope for the platform. If the Lumia 900 doesn't demonstrate long-term success, how long will tech pundits and industry analysts tolerate the situation before they begin to recognize reality?
Oh yes, we don't have any sales figures for the Lumia 900, just claims of sellouts the first week the smartphone went on sale for AT&T, with no specifics whatever. And nothing since then. Even a few hundred thousand units the first week would seem encouraging, so what is AT&T hiding? Well, I suppose the truth will be out there when they reveal their next quarterly results. Or will they pull a Samsung and hide the true figures?
I suppose the Mac may be considered the lone "vulnerable" area in Apple's hardware arsenal, although sales were still somewhat higher than last year, and growth is ahead of the PC market. At the same time, the entire product lineup is in serious need of a refresh, and you will likely see new desktop and notebook Macs any day now. That should really boost the quarterly numbers for a while, and Apple has plenty of space to grow, considering the ongoing dominance of Windows.
But the greatest obstacle to moving Macs likely includes not just Intel's processor roadmap, but the fact that more and more people regard an iPad is a suitable replacement for a PC. There's no doubt there's growing cannibalization from both the Mac and Windows markets.
However, this is all inside baseball. The real indicator of Apple's ongoing success is year-to-year growth. If they continue to report substantial increases, they have to be taken seriously, even if there may be a company here and there that may -- I said may -- report higher sales in a particular product category.
If Apple's sales flatten over time, and Apple has difficulty sustaining a decent market share on their key product lines, there'd be reason for some concern. But that doesn't appear to be an immediate danger, even if some commentators want to convey a different impression.

CRANSTON, R.I. — An ex-con from Warwick is accused of driving into a state trooper after being stopped for suspected drunken-driving early Saturday.
The state trooper had pulled over 24-year-old Justin Tallo on Reservoir Avenue around 2:30 a.m., when Tallo suddenly bolted.
His car struck the trooper, who wasn't injured, the state police said. Tallo fled from his car and was caught minutes later.
Only six months earlier, Tallo pleaded no contest to driving under the influence and lost his license for three months.
A week and a half ago, Tallo was arrested for driving with a suspended license.
Tallo faces both those charges again — plus several more, from Saturday's arrest. The state police charged Tallo with assault with a deadly weapon, a subsequent offense of driving under the influence, obstructing police, eluding, reckless driving and driving with a suspended license.
Tallo was held for arraignment.

Mya, a Augusta County Alaskan Malamute/Siberian Husky dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Alaskan Malamute/Siberian Husky for sale in Augusta County, or seeking a Alaskan Malamute/Siberian Husky dog from a breeder in Augusta County.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Augusta County already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Augusta County breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Alaskan Malamute/Siberian Husky breeders who help with Alaskan Malamute/Siberian Husky rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Augusta County paves the way for another one to be saved.

I was just looking at some messages I had saved from Green Daisy dated 2010 and wondered if anyone knew what happened to them. Her postings were delightful
Then I got a chuckle because I found this YouTube titled Daisy and Sarge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg6hNgexqTQ |

A Softer Side of Jonathan Saunders for Spring 2010
>> Pastel seems to be the palette of choice for Spring 2010 in London, and London returner Jonathan Saunders is no exception. With the help of Katie Grand's styling know-how, plus Christian Louboutin gladiators that had spectators in a tizzy, Saunders's models worked the runway in sheer flouncy pink and lavender pieces and rope-trimmed dresses. To break the mold, highlighter yellow also appeared in the large, sparse, and uncomfortably hot room Saunders showed in.

text: STATE MINERAL/GEM Talc, the State Mineral, is metamorphic in origin, formed in thin slivers of ocean crust left here after the continents collided. Generally found in southwestern Vermont, it is green in color and very soft. In 1990, Vermont ranked second only to California among the states which produce talc. Ground talc is used in plastics, paper, rubber and paint. Grossular garnet, the State Gem, is technically a mineral -- a silicate, which is colored brown due to the presence of iron. Grossular garnet from the Belvidere Mine at Eden Mills is thought to be the finest specimen of its kind anywhere. ------- from Office of the Secretary of State, Vermont Legislative Directory and State Manual, Biennial Session, 1993-1994, p. 25.

Total Performance Rating
The TPR graph is a combination of all our benchmarks in which NVIDIA and ATI are on an even playing field.
The TPR number is a combination of:
3DMark Vantage, Heaven Benchmark V2, Resident Evil 5, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X., Mafia 2 (PhysX Off), Lost Planet 2, Aliens vs. Predator, Final Fantasy XIV, Street Fighter IV, Far Cry 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum (PhysX Off) and our four High Quality tests which include Mafia 2, Aliens vs. Predator, Street Fighter IV and Far Cry 2.
All of the benchmark results achieved are then combined into a single number. As this graph will grow over time and cards won't be re-tested, next to each model you'll find the driver version that was used when the card was benchmarked.
The MSI GTX 480 Lightning doesn't have too many problems climbing up the ladder when it comes to overall performance. There's no denying that the GTX 480 is already a fast card; the Lightning version from MSI is just even faster, and the only setups ahead of it are multi GPU ones which is very impressive.

I was in the field yesterday and noticed a volunteer Russian olive that was just loaded with fat juicy red berries and ate a few. These were the sweetest Russian olives I've ever tasted. Normally the fruit of a Russian olive is sweet but some what astringent, you know the green persimmon taste. I was wondering if it was the growing conditions or if this one is genetically better.
The only draw back is I'll bet that the Russian olive is one of the worst invasive species ever. Any comments? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you have a photo of this? Russian olive doesn't tend to have red berries, though there is a red kind. Maybe a different species in the genus? |
Also, Autumn olive(Eleaganus umbellata) has red fruit usually and can be alright tasting. Here is pic of couple colors of the fruit |
I stand corrected. It is a gumi, Elaeagnus multiflora. Locally it's called Russian olive which I see is incorrect. The link states that the're hard to get started from seeds but here locally the birds have spread the seeds extensivly. I have ocassionally eaten the fruit from other bushes but this one is unique. |
I went back to show my son the gumi bush and we tried some fruit. It was more astringent on Tuesday that on Sunday. We had a couple of nights of rain. I don't know if this affected it or what happened but it's not a great a find as I had thought. |
you probably were hungrier the other day |
That could have been. I had just finished a project when I happened upon the bush and the berries were sweet and juicy. |
I was eating some of the berries of Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) the other day, as I was cutting them down (to clear out a border and remove invasive plants). They are tasty when fully ripe, a mix of tart and sweet, and are supposed to be rich in Vit c and lycopene. Perhaps you stumbled across a plant that was genetically sweeter than most? It's a very invasive plant in Mass. so I remove it from the property, but it's too bad since it's a pretty shrub (unlike Buckthorn and Burning Bush) has nice fragrant flowers, and the berries are edible. |

Gumi/goumi fruit is ripe in midsummer, not September. |
I just ate some of the red & orange berries last week in Butler Pa. Was with an older Polish guy who called them Russian Olives. The orange ones were generally sweeter. Tasted like Sour cherries with a slight alum bite. So r they Russian Olives or Gumi. I bought a bush from Gurneys several years ago that produces loads of berries in the spring. Twice the size of the fall berries from last week. Looked exactly the same, bright red with gold flecks. It was advertised as some kind of Russian berry but didn't write it down |
I have 5 Russian Olive trees and would not eat the fruit until it is processed. Too puckery. |
I believe the berries I tried were gumi berries. I had a pinch of chewing tobacco under my gums when I tried them the time they were so juicy and sweet. I tried them with out the tobacco later and they were the same as the others, juicy and sweet but with a mild astringentcy. At first I thought I had discovered something new but it was not so. Although from posting this I have learned a lot about them. |
Check out buffalo berries. The fruit really looks like the autumn olive trees above, add a nice touch of blue/green/silver to the landscape, and produce wonderful small red berries like those pictured above. When ripe, they are sour like a pie cherry or grapefruit and have a hint of grapefruit flavor and a small seed you can swallow or spit out. Their main drawback is that they are very thorny and picking the berries results in numerous pricked fingers. Best to wait until just after a good frost, then lay a tarp under the tree and shake it good to knock the berries off. It is a native, not invasive, and very hardy with few pests. |
Like alexander has brought up, gumi fruit bears in the summer, not the fall. Autumn olive is the most likely fruit that was ate. |
I believe your right it is autum olive. I googled autum olive and believe this is the plant and fruit. Locally everyone calls it Russian Olive which I'm sure is incorrect. I want to thank everyone for their input. I can now speak intelligently about this invasive species. |

Yea ! if you can stand seeds the best way to eat them is to get a hand full of them when it takes just a little bit of efort to knock them off the branches. (when ripe) then chew the seeds and all, its almost like the breaking of the seeds mellows out the bit factor of the berry witch i kinda like . If you think that jams and stuff are good and your a wine drinker AutumOlive wine is the best ever ! i made 5 gal last year and after it sat about 8 months it was unreal how good it was. not to mention about 12% alc to. if interested ill send my wine instructions to you. |

Advent day 6
Posted by Huw,Can you believe it, we're one-quarter of the way through the calendars already!
In the City calendar today, we have a naughty boy with some snowballs.
His green torso is uncommon and has only ever appeared in three Christmas-themed sets for whatever reason.
The spare helmet will come in handy, I'm sure.
We have our second (and last) mini-doll in the Friends calendar. Like Olivia on day one, Stephanie is sporting a lovely seasonal outfit.
In the Star Wars window today, in keeping with the Naboo theme of the calendar so far, we get what must surely be the most boring 'minifig' in the Star Wars universe. Don't we all have hundreds of these already? At least it has a dark red torso, I suppose.
City -- 9, great minifig.
Friends -- 9, unique mini-doll in festive outfit.
Star Wars -- 5, yawn...
23 comments on this article
The battle droid could at least have a blaster...
You can never have enough droids! Star Wars and Coty were great today!
That green winter jacket torso first appeared on a minifigure in last year's City advent calendar, but yeah, it's pretty rare. I wish they'd print it on another color torso though, for some variety.
The green torso is also in 2011 city calendar, it came with the eskimo!
Wow my daughter was shocked she got the Christmas Stephanie already. She is over the moon
Actually, that's not Stephanie, it's the COMPLETELY different character Christina, who is unique to the calendar.
Came here to say the same thing as Cligra - the hairdo makes the woman. (Well, hairdo and eye color, apparently.)
Thanks, that is even better
I would accept the security Battle Droid if only it had the markings on the torso like in the Naboo Starfighter set, but as it is, a poor effort from Lego. Hopefully we are just getting the rubbish out of the way early on.
I know it's the same helmet as the skater minifigs, but when my son & I opened the panel today he said "the little boy has gray gloves and hat like me!" So what is a helmet elsewhere might double for a stretchy winter cap here.
Christina is one of the main reasons I wish the LEGO Friends Calendar hadn't been so darn limited. She's a Mini-Doll with a unique looking outfit, which is something most of the Mini-Dolls can't boast due to the sharing of parts and exact same colors between them.
My son loves his battle droid, so we clearly don't ALL have enough of them ! And his has a blaster....
The Friends mini doll looks lovely - how cute is she ?!
According to the instructions, I got 4 extra snowballs in the City calendar. Very strange.
Battle droids are good. One can never have to many and it's nice when they are a special type like this security droid. I admit it would be better if it had the torso detailing like on last year's Naboo starfighter but I expect their will at least be a blaster for him tomorrow.
...at least I don't mind the Battle Droids...
The more... the merrier!! :D
Friends really does seem to be delivering the goods for the advent calendar this year. The Minidolls are certainly growing on me as I see more of them.
Christina mini-doll is the reason why I bought the Friends calendar in the first place... She's lovely, she's got the cutest outfit and I just have to have all the characters... The City calendar kid is great too.
Wish I had gotten the friends one as well as the other two, it is the best one of the bunch really.
All the love heaped on the friends calendar...I wonder if it will go away when people find that the two mini-dolls they have are all they're getting.
The CITY minifig is absolutely awesome. The double printed torso/winther jacket is just cute and full of details.
I actually bricklinked a boatload of battle droids for my nephew's Christmas present this year. He told me he had tons of clones but no bad guys for them to fight. I got him about ten with some assorted blasters. So as a grownup I might not be impressed, but I'm guessing more cannon-fodder is welcome for the kids.
But personally, I'm still cheezed about being unable to get the Friends calendar. After last year's SW one I wasn't impressed, and I wish in vain for some kingdoms or pirates or something. Something besides more firemen and cops.
I personally love any chance to build my army which, as of right now suprisingly does not include a red battle droid torso, so I was really happy to see that it was red :) (I'm asking for it for Christmas:). )
My kids were totally bored with the battle droid (though my daughter loved carrying the extra arms around). They're having a lot more fun with the sw advent calendar website than the actual models at the moment...

My baby sister has been diagnosed with liver cancer. She is tired and is running a fever for 9 weeks now. She goes daily for infusions. The tumor is in the middle of her liver. She is in pain. They are still testing. Can anyone tell me about liver cancer? The prognosis?
Prayers are always welcome. Lynn |

I forgot to say my sister is 50. |
I'm sorry to hear about your sister, lgiorgi. You can probably find out more when they specify what kind of tumor it is. Is she being treated at a cancer center, where that is all they do? I'd definitely want to be going to a cancer specialist She is young. I hope and pray the best for her. |
- Posted by lgiorgi (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Oct 22, 07 at 23:22
Thanks acey, prayers always help. She is in a cancer center. I just wish I could help. She is in florida and I am in NY. Thanks. |
I know quite a bit about breast cancer and cancer of the cervix, however what I do know about liver cancer is that the most common type is called hepatocellular carcinoma. You mention that she goes daily for infusions. With this type of therapy, she may have had a permanent implantable pump placed directly into the hepatic or brachial artery. This is usually done on an outpatient basis for long-term infusion of a chemotherapeutic drug. Running a fever indicates that she has an infection due to a weakened immune system, which is usually caused by both the cancer and the chemotherapy that she is receiving. Not knowing much about this type of cancer or what stage it is in, couldn't tell you what her prognosis is. She will be in my prayers though. |
- Posted by lgiorgi (email@example.com) on Mon, Nov 5, 07 at 7:26
zoewolf thank you for the information. They were giving her infusion for an infection. Antibiotics. They thought she had an infectious disease. They did a pet scan and we find out the results today. They said her colon was clear from the other tests. I was happy to hear that because my mom died at 42 of colon cancer. I think it started in her stomach (mom)because when I was young she had most of her stomach removed. My dad knew but did not tell us until the end. Back in those days they did not have to tell the patient. I hope they can help her. It is sad. She was only 11 when mhy mom died. I feel she is being cheated out of life. Thanks for writing. Lynn |
Prayers and good thoughts are on there way to your sister in Florida. I see that you mentioned your sister is being treated at a cancer center in Florida. Just a thought - after seeing that you are in NY - if she would or could consider a trip to Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City for a consultation. I've been a patient there a few times and remember that a nurse once said that people come from China to be treated at Sloan and folks as close as New Jersey don't want to travel to New York City. I know that as long as there is a diagnosis that appointments can be arranged quite quickly. |

First some art, cuz I always feel bad when I post but don't have any art to show.
Next, a general announcement: I changed the permalinks on my blog. If anyone's linking to specific entries, your old links should work as far as I know, but you might want to change them in any case.
Okay, now for the real entry!
Ah, let me tell you guys. The last eight months have been quite the roller coaster ride. A slow, boring, yet disproportionately frightening roller coaster ride. Not too many twists, turns or stomach-flipping plummets, but plenty of screams and the silent fear of falling or losing limbs.
In fact, the only real surprise on this ride that warrants a few screams of terror happened last week. I quit my job. I've got two weeks left, but it's a sure thing, now. Next Thursday is my last day.
But really, the most surprising (and amusing) part of all this is just how freaked out my sister seems to be. Last week when I told her I was going to quit, she told me "no, you're not." The next day when I told her I handed in my two weeks' notice, she didn't believe me. Just now I was e-mailing her about some ideas I have for the next few months—ideas that have nothing to do with my job, FYI—and she replies back, "Did you decide not to quit your job?"
Whoa, sis, calm down. You're not allowed to be more freaked out about this than I am.
…Am I freaked out? A little. Perhaps a lot (those that know me well are aware that my emotional range is somewhere between inanimate object and Ben Stein). You're supposed to have a job. That's what adulthood is. More than any other thing that might present itself in your life, you're always always supposed to have a job. And now… I don't have one. Yeah, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
I'm mostly freaked out that I had a plan… and it backfired. I'm not used to that. I'm all for spontaneity (within reason), but I'm a planner at heart. I like a good plan. I decide what I want to do, I figure out how I'm going to do it, then I do it, and then it's DONE. End of story. It's a skill I honed as a public relations student at my last school. I live by the code of R.P.I.E. 1. Research. 2. Plan. 3. Implement. 4. Evaluate.
My life was all going according to plan. Hood, and my life after Hood, were actually Plan B. Seeing that Plan B had worked successfully, it was time to go back to Plan A. 1. Research art schools. 2. Get accepted to art school. 3. Graduate from art school. 4. Get art job (the quality of the job serves to evaluate the success of the plan, you see).
That's just what I did. I went to a kick-ass art school. I learned some kick-ass skills. I got a kick-ass internship. I made a kick-ass film and got a kick-ass degree. The next step was to get a kick-ass job.
That's where my plan started to break down. No one was hiring me. No one was even calling me back. What was happening to my plan? I panicked. I needed a job—that was the next step in the plan. That was the whole point of the plan. I couldn't not have the job. So, I got a not-so-kick-ass job while I took time to evaluate and figure out a new plan.
I like a good plan. I apply the rules to pretty much every aspect of my life. I want to go see a movie. 1. Research movies. 2. Plan a day, time, friends, and transportation to see movie. 3. See the movie. 4. Discuss movie with friends afterward. Works so well, doesn't it?
But every now and then, I find that a plan isn't the answer. It's too constraining. It needs to be revised midway through, or scrapped altogether. 1. Research movies. 2. Plan a day, time, friends, and transportation to see movie. 3. Friend or friends can't make it… but friend's friends want to come instead. 4. Our second car is in the shop, can we fit eight people in one car? 5. Why are we going on a Thursday? Let's go on Friday. 6. No let's go to the theater downtown, it has stadium seats. 7. That movie's got an 8% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, let's see this movie instead. 8. Cry a lot, then throw the plan out and hope for the best.
In cases like these, as I'm revising and revising a plan to make it work, I find that my priorities might change. What I wanted at the start isn't always what I want by the end. "Wow, that movie got an 8% rating?? Well… I still kinda want to see it (I love a good bad movie), but sure, let's go see the other movie instead." Sometimes, I'm very disappointed when a plan fails. Other times… the change turned out to be for the better.
And still other times, I have to throw out the plan and construct an entirely new one. Untested. Unsafe. Sometimes no plan is going to work, and I'm just going to have to plow forward without one. That's even scarier.
The bottom line is that the plan—the plan for my life—as it was, was not working. Even worse, it was making me unhappy. I'm sure I've felt more miserable at some point in my life (I can think of a few periods at Ringling off the top of my head). But in the last few weeks, it's been hard to remember a time I was more miserable than this.
And that's when I remembered the reason for all the planning. It's because I don't want to be miserable anymore. I've got misery down to an art. It's old hat. It's boring, and I really don't need any more of it. Let's try something new and exciting. Let's try happiness. I want to wake up every single day with the energy, determination, and cheer to face whatever comes at me. That's why I went to Ringling: so that I never have to choose misery over happiness ever again.
And so, what's next? Well, I'm going to take a gamble. The old plan was making me miserable. So, I'm going to go with a new plan. It's untried, untested… by me, at least. It's unlike anything I've ever done before. I don't know where I'm going to end up.
Am I freaked out? A little (or a lot). But it's okay. If the plan doesn't work… I can always revise it. Or scrap it. Or just come up with a new one.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Willie!
Facts about Willie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Willie's Info...
I am already neutered, in need of an experienced adopter, and up to date with shots.
Willie was born at a feral cat colony but rescued as a small kitten. He is approx 2 years old, very energetic and playful. He loves attention, to follow you and lay on your feet and watch what you are doing. He likes to cuddle under the covers. He has an adorable personality, his nickname is "silly Willie". Email email@example.com
Other Pets at SCRATCH, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Willie, a Chattanooga Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Chattanooga, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Chattanooga.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chattanooga already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chattanooga breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chattanooga paves the way for another one to be saved.

Improvisation recorded on 16th of May 2014
Felt piano sampled by Gwilym Simcock, Spitfire Audio
Artwork: Florian Mueller – Papersky, 2013
A good friend of mine introduced me to the trap scene a year ago and since then I wanted to create something similar. Not necessarily in the direction of trap but something that catches the vibe I like about the genre. This track represents a lot of that. But it is also the first track I have created in this genre and it shows that I am still very green on this, which is ok. I din't make the tune to amaze people. It was more an attempt to explore the genre.
This time I was inspired by elecronic musician Gessafelstein's new album Apleph which is a fresh breeze in the ever evolving electronic scene in Europe. His themes are often dark, serious or disturbing. But Gessafelstein does something not many people do when they make music. Instead of conforming to the conventional samples he replaces standard instruments you would think would fit in the song, with completely different samples. I am sure that he spends a lot of time finding the right samples because many of the tracks I have listened to is like candy to my ears. Although this track is nothing near the work for Aleph, I learnt a lot by creating the track. But it wasn't before after I finished the track that I realized what was missing. I didn't need to change it then, because now I know, and that is the most important thing.
It's should not be a surprise that I am often inspired by ethnic instruments and that I like to combine different music genres. This track is no exception from that. It features a Japanese solo Koto and Taiko drums to compliment the oriental theme that goes through the track.
I made this track after I got my hands on the Maschine Mikro MKII by Native Instruments. It was really just testing out the new soft/hardware and the possibilities. I am not used to trigger pads or drum machines. But I was very satisfied with this one. The feeling, after touch and velocity sensitivity is just great. It's a shame that it doesn't work properly after Native Instruments upgraded the software to 2.0, that is at least in Cubase 7 thoug. I had a blast at it anyway and it was fun making the beat.
Believe it or not I was inspired by GTAIV to create the intro for this song. Apart from that the track is more inspired by Tokyo. I have only been in Japan twice, but the impression I got has stuck with me for a long time. And this track is a hint of how I see Tokyo, my interpretation as an outsider, observing, enjoying and traveling around.
Snow In The Mountains is a piece created as a relaxing, gentle and calm track. Almost meditative in a way. It was probably because I was really inspired by John Cage's In A Landscape, a piece which I admire beyond words, that i made this track. We live in a world of stress and very few of us take time to relax or meditate unless we have a reason to. The track is a little long, but the track itself is very slow and has such a calm vibe that I really wanted the listener to enjoy the state for a while. I guess that was my way of trying to give people a reason to relax, reflect or meditate. Not in a spiritual way, but just to get in a relaxed state.

Oyler School in Lower Price Hill locked down after reports of shots fired in area
CINCINNATI -- Oyler School in Lower Price Hill was locked down after shots were fired in the area Wednesday morning.
Police on the scene say Roy Lee fired off shots a few blocks away in the 600 block of Neave Street, which prompted the school to go on lockdown.
Lee was observed ducking into an apartment building after the shooting, and that prompted a SWAT team response.
SWAT team officers searched the area for Lee, but eventually a Cincinnati Police Department negotiator got a hold of Lee's cellphone, talked to him for 30 minutes and convinced Lee to turn himself in. Lee was taken into custody around 2 p.m. without incident.
Police said Lee was released from jail earlier Wednesday, but officers could not immediately elaborate what he was locked up for.
9 On Your Side reporter Jay Warren said the intended shooting victim was cooperating with police and went unharmed.
No students were injured as a result of the shooting and all were allowed to leave at a regular dismissal time.
The school is located at 2121 Hatmaker Street, with pre-K through 12th grade students, according to Cincinnati Public Schools' website.

Chet's face is puffy, muffinlike, small-eyed; the left eye looks as if it is always narrowed at you. He is short, with a rye-bread tan. He has a fragmented mustache; it starts wide and traces his lip thinly. He looks exactly his age, which is 78.
To anyone who regularly spends time in Washington Park, glimpsing Chet is hardly unusual. For the past three decades or so, with breaks here and there, he has arrived every summer day, weather permitting, at 1:30, and left about three hours later. Ever since cataracts grabbed his eyes a couple of years ago--he had surgery in early July--he no longer gets out on the courts himself. He keeps busy, though.
Earlier this summer I watched him trap two young players waiting for a court. As they stood with their backs against a chain- link fence, he showed them about one hour's worth of the Continental grip, a compact and restrained racket-wielding style about as common today as grass courts or white trousers. A few weeks ago I noticed Chet again, repairing a gate on the link fence surrounding the south courts. With Shoe-goo.
Now it is June and sunny, one of the 300 or so tennis-playing days you read about in economic-development brochures sent to companies that might want to relocate from New Jersey. Chet is dispensing observations on the Continental grip to a heavy man in a sweatsuit who stands up and stretches through Chet's stream of words. "Yeah, yeah, Chet," he says, his eyes scanning the courts. It is clear that Chet has lost him.
Chet removes a battered book from his bag, The History of Tennis, published in 1951, and begins leafing through its smooth black-and-white photos of tennis greats: Henri Cochet, one of France's "Four Horsemen." Fred Perry, the Englishman who won Wimbledon three years straight beginning in 1934. Don Budge, one of only two men to win all four Grand Slam tournaments; he did it in 1938. And, of course, the best of them all. "Bill Tilden," Chet says to me right off, "was the greatest."
"You interested in Tilden?" Chet asks. I am, and I sit down. He reaches into his blue plastic bag. Pulls out the October 20, 1933, issue of American Lawn Tennis. It has a strip of gray duct tape down the spine. He hands it over.
"Now, here's George Lott," Chet says. "He played with Tilden a lot. They were national doubles champions. Here's Fred Perry. And you ought to read this article: `Tilden Gets His Revenge.' He went over to France to beat Henri Cochet. He had to take a steamer ship across the Atlantic to do it. But he did it."
Chet's Western twang is subtle and borderline Midwestern. He talks an unbelievable streak--on his terms. Inflection, for instance, seems not to occur to him, or he's gotten out of the habit. He quickly becomes irritable and combative when asked about race or religion, or where he lives, or at what time a particular event in his life happened, or when pressed too closely for details. He admonishes me to look at him while I talk, because his hearing is bad.
He launches into what turns out to be a twenty-minute story involving John McEnroe, the British, a Denver radio talk-show host and, of course, Chet. "Do you want to hear the rest of the story?" he asks, impatient. "Well, okay."
A clubby-looking player with tinted glasses is walking off the court in hot dispute with another man. He stalks by us and sits down at the picnic table. He trails a powerful slap of cologne. "Someone smells awful large," Chet observes loudly, wrinkling his nose.
Tinted begins making observations to no one in particular about events on the courts. Then, abruptly, he says, "We're not getting any exercise sitting around on our asses," and asks if I want to hit. I don't have a racket. He observes that Chet has one.
"Hey, Charlie, can this guy borrow your racket?" Chet turns to me and says, "Is he talking to me?"
Chet, says Chet to a space somewhere between the three of us, doesn't ever lend out his racket.
After a moment Tinted grabs a racket out of the bag in front of him on the picnic table and hands it to me. Thankful, I accept it and we begin to hit. Tinted is too stiff, and he strokes too close to his body. He looks a lot like he's fending off an unusually aggressive bee. We play for a time anyway.
Later, I see that another man has taken my place in the chair next to Chet. Chet is showing him the Continental grip. The man's eyes already are scanning the courts, and it is clear that Chet has lost him.
Chet Niemeyer first saw Bill Tilden in Oklahoma City.
By that time he had been playing tennis for about ten years in Denison, Texas, having picked up the game from his brother during the Depression. Because there were not enough rackets to go around, the older kids sometimes would borrow from the younger ones. If they broke, tough luck--start saving for another one. "That never happened to me, though," says Chet. "I never lent out my racket."

Glen Park is convenient to downtown San Francisco, the North Bay, the East Bay and Silicon Valley.
I am an painter and sculptor. My first love is of the mountains and open spaces and gardens and deserts and beaches and wild animals and wild lands. So I don't really know how I would define myself for you.
JENNIFER MORGAN purchased this cottage in 1974
In late 1973 I came back to San Francisco. I loved the city but my problem had always been that I wanted to live in the country as well. I drove and walked all through the Glen Park neighborhood in San Francisco looking for a 'place' that would fit me. I didn't know if I wanted to rent or buy. Then I came across this dilapidated house on the hill. It was falling down the hill. The house sat in the middle of three barren empty lots. I fell in love. Behind the house was a cottage.
The house and the cottage are surrounded by light and air. Everything in San Francisco and the surrounding communities is easily accessible from here. Most of all it has a feeling of privacy and seclusion; while still being so close to everything.
The cottage is a beautiful hideaway in SF, very comfortable and bright. We had a wonderful time, and would definitely return.
The cottage is located in the Glen Park neighborhood in San Francisco usually referred to as Glen Park Village, because of it's old European flavor.
The Village of Glen Park is nestled in the surrounding hills. In the village you will find coffee shops, some of the best restaurants in San Francisco, hardware store, cleaners, grocery store, book store, vintage store, bakery, pretty much anything you need is two blocks away from the cottage; down in the village.
Glen Park is also a great walking neighborhood. If you follow the main street of Glen Park to it's end you will come upon Glen Canyon Park. A wonderful walking park with a meandering stream and native plants. Trails that can lead you all the way up to the Diamond Heights Safeway and beyond. Then continue back to the cottage in a very scenic loop down Beacon street and through the open areas of the Diamond Heights neighborhood and the Noe Valley neighborhood overlooking downtown San Francisco. Or, for the hikers, you can go in the opposite direction around Twin Peaks and then down and back to the cottage.
San Francisco is divided into neighborhoods. Glen Park is one of the oldest neighborhoods. If you look on a map of San Francisco and put your finger on the very middle of it, you would have pointed out Glen Park.
Consequently the cottage is close to everything. It makes driving unnecessary. The Glen Park BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit - the underground)Station is a short three blocks from the cottage. Which makes downtown or the financial district just ten minutes away. Berkeley and the East Bay easily easily reachable without having to drive. Fisherman's Wharf and other San Francisco attractions just a few minutes away by BART or MUNI (bus).
If you are looking for a Sunday drive to Half Moon Bay or lunch at Barbara's Crab Shack in Princeton By The Bay. You can hop on the freeway, just three blocks from the cottage which gives you access to the coast in less than fifteen minutes.
If you are looking for high end comfort and ease of access to anything or anywhere in San Francisco this is your place.

In-game changes for January 5th, 2010 {WoW}
Jan 5th 2010 2:34PM The Lady Deathwhisper add casting time made it pretty essential to have at least one DK tank, if not 2, to move the adds around. This is, in my opinion, a pretty good change as it allows other tanks to do that job, and I'm sure they didn't intend it as a block to other tanks that don't have death grip.
The add health change makes it so that melee are less of a liability for that fight. Right now, just stack that fight and Deathbringer with ranged and YOU WIN. The reduction in mana pool makes a better balanced group less of a liability.
All in all 2 good raid balance changes that won't significantly alter the fight, or make it a faceroll. Still some coordination and control involved to make this come out right.
In Game fixes for January 4th, 2010 {WoW}
Jan 4th 2010 10:13PM Eh, HoR is my new occulus. I don't need gear from there, it's long, it's relatively difficult. I can drop group and queue for the exact same rewards in enchanting material and badges if I just go to Nexus or something.
Are set bonuses outdated? {WoW}
Nov 23rd 2009 2:50PM I don't think so. If the set bonuses are completely totally optional, then why bother? It just restricts my flexibility to get upgrades. If I have no qualms at all about giving up a set bonus, then the set bonus has no value. The problem is that Blizzard wants us to have no qualms about giving up set bonuses for upgrades, so they're making a lot of set bonuses vastly underpowered. I think that the loss of flexibility in gearing should have enough of a bonus tied up for it to be a good tradeoff. It's not a good tradeoff right now.
Maybe the right route to go with this is make the set bonuses "fun". Like the one that procced a wolvar for melee DPS back in the old days :). "Chance on hit to do something modestly useful but really cool looking" would be better than "Chance on hit to do something boring based on a stat you don't have."
Are set bonuses outdated? {WoW}
Nov 23rd 2009 2:26PM Um...I hate set bonuses. And I've gotten to the point of not going out of my way to get them.
The good ones are, a week or 2 after I get the set, considered "overpowered" and then get nerfed to pointlessness (Ulduar set 4pc resto druid, for example) or they're so weak that they aren't worth the itemization cost (ToC set 4pc resto druid, for example). Blizzard has yet to hit the middle ground on this, so I'm just not going to play that game any more. If I get a set bonus, great, but it's not something I'm chasing after.
The ulduar druid set is a great example. That was a great set bonus, it put a nice heal that scaled well with other gear on rejuvenation, a staple spell. Then the bonus heal got cut in half. Not 5-10% nerfed, cut in half. So that set bonus went from "great" to "negligible". The ToC set bonus was to make rejuv crit, based on the amount of crit the druid has. Resto druids heal with HoT's. Very little of our gear has crit on it. So they put in a set bonus that triggered on what is in essence a dump stat. That set bonus really needs a bump, but with the next tier of gear coming "soon" they won't make the current tier any better.
I picked up all the ilevel 245 non-set pieces with no opposition. I'm still very competitive with other resto druids and within 2-3% of the top healer in any given situation. So I'm not missing anything not having the set, and I got my upgrades to 245 a lot faster than anyone else.
The itemization cost vs the benefit aren't worth it in my opinion. Plus the non-set pieces tend to be easier to get because of all the suckers going for set pieces.
If they want set bonuses to really work and be desirable, they need to take a bigger hunk of the itemization budget and make them a little overpowered. Make it a clear choice of "hey, this set bonus is really great" and something to work towards, and then don't drop the value of the set 50% because it wasn't planned out right. Risk and reward, and right now the risk of passing on all the great non-set pieces to get sets isn't worth the reward that might be really not worthwhile or may just be changed to suck in a week or two.

Officers' Quarters: Cataclysm will reshape guilds {WoW}
Aug 24th 2009 2:31PM We went through something similar about a year ago. The raid leader ended up leaving, gutted the raiding force, and we ended up rebuilding it. Left to form a "raiding guild" that ended up imploding when Ulduar started and content got challenging. Our guild stayed ahead of them for every major content checkpoint. I'd push out the jerk and let him take who he can recruit, and then fill back in with people who don't suck.
Officers' Quarters: Cataclysm will reshape guilds {WoW}
Aug 24th 2009 2:25PM As someone who's been a guild officer for a very long time....
I've had the pleasure of g'kicking about 4 people. All were clear violations of guild rules, which are posted available for reading. The guild currently has about 180 *accounts*. Not members, but real accounts.
If you're having to gkick much more than that, you really need to change your recruiting process.
If I have a problem with someone, I kick them out of the raid and don't invite them back. Which has happened 3 times.
Officers' Quarters: Cataclysm will reshape guilds {WoW}
Aug 24th 2009 2:18PM I will not attempt to run a guild that's built around a democracy. That's an idea destined for failure.
You've not done this whole "leadership" thing before, have you?
This doesn't change how things are now, it just makes the cost for being in a guild run by a capricious idiot higher.

All this really does is make it more costly to be in a guild run by capricious idiots.

Surprise your friend, mom or birthday hero with a home-baked cake. Restaurant Juuri's baker created a recipe which includes chocolate and strawberries. Best served with coffee or a bubbly drink.
Yum, yum, yum.
Summer Petit Fours
Cake 4 eggs 1 ¾ c sugar 2/5 c cream 7/8 c melted butter ½ c melted chocolate 4/5 c flour 2/5 c cocoa powder 2 tsp baking powder Beat the sugar with the eggs. Add the cream. Mix the melted butter and chocolate together and add to the batter. Mix the dry ingredients together and stir into the wet ingredients, folding carefully.
Pour the batter into a 12" x 9" pan. Bake at 325ºF for 20–30 min, until done. Baker's tip: you can easily tell whether or not a cake is ready by sticking a toothpick into it – if the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Let the cake cool down before cutting into rounds. Each round should be about 2 in across; stack them into petit fours of 2–3 layers.
¾ c milk chocolate 3 oz plain cream cheeseCarefully melt the chocolate. Work and warm the cream cheese slightly before stirring into the chocolate.
Fill the petit fours with the chocolate filling and slices of fresh strawberry. Frost with rolled fondant.
Melting snow, longer days, first flower buds of the year in the flowerbed. Spring is here!

One of the most annoying limitations of Windows 7 is the fact Microsoft has removed the ability to remote desktop into a computer running the Home Premium edition, fortunately the experts at The Green Button forum are already on hand to not only enable this feature but extend it, with multiple co-current users able to login.
Whilst this doesn't sound like much, this has enabled me to remote desktop onto my home media center using a second account whilst the media center is still playing happily on my main television. This helps with tasks like updates, media management and even recording dvd's.
This update is highly recommended for anyone with a dedicated Media Center box and works with Windows 7 Ultimate, Professional, Home Premium 64 bit and 32 bit.

If you're looking for the same feature in Windows 8, read my latest update
