The Queue: Happy New Year {WoW}
Jan 1st 2012 12:24PM Hi,
First, Happy New Year!!!
I don't know if it is already been answered; too many (and this is good) The Queue to check, so be patient with me. ;-)
Is there has been any info if in MoP there will be Cooking's recipes purchasable with some sort of marks? If so, will they be purchasable with current "Chef's Award" marks?
Since I am doing dailies to farm money I would like to know if it will be worthed to continue to do current Cooking's dailies since with Mount Hyjal's (due to some time off, I hadn't finished the second phase yet) and Tol Barad's (I am trying to purchase the flight mount) ones I can easily cap the daily 25 quests limit (actually those two zones togheter have more than 25).
Thank in advance.
Breakfast Topic: What are your rules of engagement for world PVP? {WoW}
Sep 11th 2011 5:34PM Unfortunately I'm stuck on a PVP server because I have RL friends and a good guild in general on it and also because I have levelled too many alts to afford the switch, otherwise I would have "rerolled PVE" as many PVPers usually suggest to us carebears.
Still ... I often wonder if it is really me that doesn't understand what a PVP server is really meant to be or if it is that some (just some, I give credit that not all are like this) PVPers who is wrongly believing that a PVP server is a Counter Strike-like game with PVE as collateral content.
The Queue: Hero class {WoW}
Aug 29th 2011 2:04PM My question has been inspired by another question appeared on "The Lawbringer: Mailbag 5.0" (http://wow.joystiq.com/2011/08/26/the-lawbringer-mailbag-5-0/); in that case the reader "Pierre" asked what Blizzard would do if it lost all player data.
In my case I am curious about another catastrophic scenario (I ask here because I am interested on tin hat speculations about the actual practical response rather than the legal one).
Suppose that during a maintenance (let say an extend maintenance since Blizzard do more stuff in it than regular maintenance therefore there is more chance, or at least it is less improbable, that the following would happen) some sort of glitch happen that raise the drop rates of all items by some degree. Since it is a simple rise, all the items still drop from the intended mobs, but they drop more often. Of course Blizzard realizes it only after few hours since the servers went live.
How will Blizzard deal with the surplus of items caused by that glitch?
If it decides to remove all the items, it would been unfair since there is no way to be sure that the items weren't meant to drop anyway since they dropped from the intended mob (let say for example we got a very rare item like "Vial of the Sands"); in the other end, if it decides to let the items be, it would be unfair (assuming that at least it fixes all the drop rates to normal level) to all the players that haven't got a chance to play during those hours the glitch have been live (because they were at school, at work, or busy on other fronts) because the players that got a chance to play got more items than intended.
Patch 4.1 PTR notes updated for March 30 {WoW}
Apr 1st 2011 3:10AM Yeeessss!!!
It was just a typo: the patch notes state:
Hunters will "no longer" automatically acquire a new target if the current target dies in the middle of a cast.
Patch 4.1 PTR notes updated for March 30 {WoW}
Apr 1st 2011 3:07AM I really hope too it is just a typo.
Patch 4.1 PTR notes updated for March 30 {WoW}
Mar 31st 2011 2:47AM I have a doubt between:
"- Aimed Shot and Steady Shot should no longer start casting Auto Shot on a new target when the "Stop Auto Attack" option is enabled."
"Hunters will automatically acquire a new target if the current target dies in the middle of a cast."
I was looking for the first change since the release of CTC since it happened too often that I freed a CC because the previous mob died in the middle of an Aimed Shot or Steady Shot cast, but the second change seems to counter it.
Sure, it seems that by blocking the auto shot by default we have a chance to prevent freeing a CC: if the spell is in the middle of the cast, we can just interrupt the casting ... except that it is not so easy: Aimed Shot is our only fairly long shot with 2.4 sec. cast time, while the others shots are either instant or at least fast (Steady/Cobra shot reduced by haste); on those cases we have just few tenth of a second from the previous mob death to stop the cast. :(
I foresee a lot of QQ.
The Queue: Extra strength {WoW}
Feb 12th 2011 5:24AM The LFD not longer showing dungeons on progress is a nerf to DPS too, beside tanks.
Considering the high queue time for DPS (on Hakkar-EU the average is 30-40 minutes), doing a dungeons take actually more than an hour (considering queue + actual run). With the knowledge of the dungeon being in progress or not I could queue even if I had little time available, because if I ended up on a already in progress dungeon I could fit it on the limited time on hand (or refuse the join if it was a starting dungeon); now I cannot longer queue unless I am sure I can afford the full time (therefore losing possible points and loot).
Breakfast Topic: It was lag, I swear! {WoW}
Dec 27th 2010 3:04AM I point to the lag quite often because (un)fortunatelly it is the truth (on my connection it usually come in 2-5 sec. spikes in-between few minute of normal latency rather to be constant high latency, so I cannot get used around its timing), but usually when I realize that I actually made a mistake myself I admit it.
The Queue: Nah nah nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah nah nah nah nah {WoW}
Nov 23rd 2010 2:32AM Ah ok, so it is a small patch in term of size then?
Great to know. Thank you very much. :)

Reviewed Michael's Favorite Oxtails with Buttered Rice
Feb 7, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Tried this recipe over the weekend. Both my husband and myself absolutely loved it!. Very simple to make. One thing I did different was I put some red wine in the bottom of my pan and then filled to 1/4 up with water. I will add extra onion to cook in the liquid part - liked the onions. I also think I will not "butter" the rice and just spoon..."

(Jan. 24) BLANCA, Colo. — Jerry Smith sees the latest potato stocks report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture as positive news.
The report estimates Jan. 1 stocks from the 15 major potato states at 232.1 million cwt. That's just 3% above last season, when shippers saw record high pricing for crops, said Smith, president of shipper Blanfort Inc.
But so far this season, the trend for higher markets hasn't kicked in.
The USDA reported Jan. 21 markets for cartons of size 70 San Luis Valley russets at $7, compared to $11 last season.
"I really feel the market should have responded more by now than it has, but I guess we'll wait and see," Smith said.
The USDA reported Jan. 21 f.o.b.s for 50-pound cartons of size 70 Idaho russet burbanks at $8.50, compared to $12.50 the same time last year.
"I'm still optimistic that we're going to see (a rise in the market) this season," said Kevin Stanger, vice president of marketing for Wada Farms Potatoes Inc., Idaho Falls, Idaho. "I just don't know when."
Some shippers say markets could rise this spring once the industry more clearly sees the demand for processing potatoes.
If the USDA's Jan. 21 cold storage holdings report were any indication, the shippers might have hope.
The USDA reported total cold-storage holdings as of Dec. 31 at 1.13 billion pounds, compared to 1.24 billion the season before. Of that, potatoes for french fries were at 871.4 million pounds, compared to 1 billion last season.
Still, even with lower markets this season, some shippers say movement has been stalled.
"We're dead here as far as business the last two or three weeks," said Walt Okray, salesman and traffic manager for Okray Family Farms Inc., Plover, Wis.
In the near future, movement could still be off. February notoriously is a very slow potato month, Okray said. March is when the market tends to move again, he said.
The USDA showed movement to date for Washington and Wisconsin behind the same time last year. Idaho and Colorado were both ahead.
Colorado's Jan. 1 stocks were 33% above last year, according to the USDA. Idaho's stocks were reported at 6% above last year.
Chris Voigt, executive director of the Colorado Potato Administrative Committee, Monte Vista, said the San Luis Valley saw higher yields this fall, with 390 cwt. per acre compared to 315 cwt. for the previous season's crop. Still, he said, a higher percentage of oversized potatoes would divert many to processing, he said.

The Santa Barbara County Fire Department says the small fire was burning in grass. No structures were threatened and no injuries were reported.
The cause is under investigation.

Hcg Drops - A Fast Summary
You also need to eat only a few types of fruits, vegetables, organic meats and mercury free fish. I desired to come across that a single product that would halt the prescription nonsense and set me on the road to nutritious living.For numerous years I have been a proponent of homeopathic medicines. The administration of these sublingual drops is not a complicated procedure. Recognition of the diet rises and diminishes in accordance with its media hype and publicity of an earlier study on the subject. This hormone provides the developing embryo the access to the mother's fat stores and facilitates the growth of the embryo during pregnancy. I adopted the recommendations exactly as prescribed and the bodyweight commenced dropping off. It unlocks your stored fat deposits, breaking them down for energy at a rate of about a pound per day. The dieter is asked to take this dosage three times a day, for 23 days. A healthy weight loss program is always the best option for everyone aspiring for weight loss. Blood Clotting and Other Side Effects People easily ignore the dangers of weight loss injections when the ads only mention the potential weight loss. During breakfast, the diet plan recommends tea or coffee with one tablespoonful of milk. Doctors have warned that the hormone can also lead to premature deliveries and birth defects. Reducing weight mainly depends on following diets and performing exercises. According to Dr. As pointed out he never spelled out the reason. How to reduce weight? Actually, the most complicated segment is getting together again your mind on a distressing technique that suits your kitchen and wraps up that complement it. Well, you might detect an aftertaste if you use unflavored Stevia powder. The diet programs associated to it became so popular for years, that they were available in spas and weight loss clinics, unless their popularity reached to such a level, that it became common to most of the people. Low calorie diet causes bowel movements to be less frequent, but fewer bowel movements do not necessarily mean constipation. Sometimes, getting this supplement from nearby pharmacies are a difficult one which need an alternate solution. It restricts further loading of fat in the body. It improves the metabolic rate, which means a high fat burning capacity. While taking the B-Lean drops sublingulally (under your tongue) you will be on a very strict diet. Sugars, fats, and oils are strictly not included in the diet regimen. Sarah has been writing articles online for nearly 4 years now. Just the drops. Although such methods may deliver results fast, one should stay clear of the applications if you want to stay healthy and not regain weight in a couple of months. Visit each website and compare product details and prices, make a short list and conduct a little research on this provider and see if you can get a backgrounder on each.
It is a 500 calorie diet plan that concentrates on organic foods and contain certain kinds of proteins. According to the advertisers, the low calorie diet plans are limited to 500 calories a day, but only in the beginning phases. Which is Befitting You? Commonly, being overweight/ obesity is brought about by a set of factors that include feeding on foods that are very rich in fats and also an unhealthy diet in general. Consequences of obesity: Obesity is a condition that leads to excess weight in people who are taking fat foods. It's easy and will show results. Herbs and spices make everything much more enjoyable. Drops come at a fraction of cost of injections. For a while now, people are indulging in weight loss diets which are quick and give faster results. But considering that you are not hungry it sometimes is difficult to eat even the little bit you are suppose to eat. This Homeopathic drop is equally good as the injectable hormone to lose over weight in the body. You need to get a fresh supply of energy and required nutrients into your system. Homeopathy has been around longer than traditional medicine. Now you are probably puzzled and wonder how that hormone can help you in your diet. When you're already decided with regards to the distressing style that satisfies your preference, you should buy pre-distressed cabinetry or distress them yourself. For the entire 23 day program, you will also not be permitted to reduce more than 35 pounds to be certain the metabolism does not end up in the muscles. It all boils down to your honesty in sticking to the plan. Hot sauce, chili powder, cilantro, parsley, tarragon, oregano, and many more highly flavorful spices make any dish of chicken or fish taste great. This distressing is complete by sanding the corners of your cabinetries for a damaged effect. If you get injections, you'll also need to get storage, mixing, and injection supplies, costing additional money. Fact or Fiction? Wormhole shocking emulates the crack and also hole that larva which worms make. For example, you can take some healthy bites if hunger cravings strike. For breakfast I had oatmeal with a small amount of butter and syrup. Whenever you think of trying something new either it is clothing, new movies, television shows, books that just hit the bookstores, food, drinks, all the way to dietary regimens, the first thing you do is turning to that product reviews. As there are several products that are available for treating the obesity problems, many persons are confused about choosing the right one. They work just as well, as many dieters can attest. This is quite important in that it has enabled many people to focus on safe weight loss that is based on health friendly supplements. The diet drops come in a kit, which is sold by suppliers, and that kit also includes a detailed description of the Very Low Calorie diet.

Any book that comes with a tagline from Copyblogger Media's CEO, Brian Clark, is a book worth picking up for a Social Penguin:
"This book shows how anyone can harness the power of blogging to create irresistible content"
So when I was offered the opportunity to read and review Born to Blog by McGraw-Hill Books, I welcomed it with open arms. Authors Mark W. Schaefer and Stanford A. Smith are well placed to be giving advice on the subject, with two great blogs under their respective belts, {grow} and Pushing Social. Not to mention Schaefer's success with The Tao of Twitter and Return on Influence – these guys know what they're talking about.
The book takes the reader on a journey of discovery, starting with the question: were you born to blog? Spoiler alert – you were. Apparently we all fit into five blogging specialities: storytelling, dreaming, persuading teaching or curating. We're taken through each skill, shown examples and told stories. With three years of research behind the book, including 500 blogs and interviews with over 150 bloggers, I know I can trust this book. Then a sentence like this kind of makes me doubt that:
"A person who cannot dream will die"
Whoa! That seems a bit tough to back up – how many people have died from 'an inability to dream'?
There's then a handy quiz, where you score a number of statements about each skill out of five, to determine where your strengths lie. I was a bit dismayed when my top score was 13, since "Areas where you scored 16 or higher indicate a strong preference for that skill."
The book uses a lot of great sources, like Larry Weber's Marketing to the Social Web and and The Lean Startup by Eric Ries. But there's also a lot of plugging for Schaefer and Smith's own work, and – surely not – a story backed up by Wikipedia? That's a pet hate of mine left over from my days at university. As a crowd-sourced site, it's not the most reliable reference.
But then I started to think, maybe I'm expecting too much of these guys. As chapter two tells us, writing and blogging are very different beasts, and these guys are definitely great bloggers. Personally, I always struggled with writing until I discovered the beautiful, unrestricted world of blogging.
And that's how the book is written. It's a book about blogging, by bloggers, in the style of a blog (how many times can I fit 'blog' in a sentence?) And online, Wikipedia is a perfectly solid reference, and you need to plug your own work – in fact, it's expected.
Born to Blog addresses familiar blogging issues, from what kind of content you should be posting, how to get up and running, how to keep momentum, why you should blog as a business (which Emperor Penguin Mike covered recently here), and how you should blog as an individual. There's even a chapter on monetising your blog – kaching!
My favourite bit is Chapter 12: The Minimum Viable Blog. A minimum viable blog (MVB, a la Eric Ries's minimum viable product) strips all the complication from getting a blog started. All too often, businesses and individuals spend too long in the planning stages, and let the blog get too convoluted before it's even off the ground. Schaefer and Smith's advice? Just do it. Just get out there with a soft launch, and make tweaks and changes according to what's working and what isn't.
It's a great book for novices, or the blogger who's hit a plateau; and there are some great tips and advice in there for the experts too. As they say, "blogging is simple" – and it certainly seems so after reading this book.
You can buy Born To Blog here (affiliate link).

Brand Your Business with Graphic Designs
A picture is worth a million words. Ever hear that before? LOL. It may be an old saying, but it is very true. My family and I recently visited Atlanta, GA and toured World of Coca-Cola. It was neat to see all the old advertisements and devices that really helped Coca-Cola to flourish as a company into what we know it as today. This advertising, and the marketing ideas of John Pemberton, are both held accountable for the success of the corporation. As a graphic designer, I understand the importance of graphics and images in marketing. Imagine what advertisements would be like without...

jchan66 Posts: 8www.etrailer.com carries Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite at ~$165 shipped. These two brands share exact the same design.
If you need an OEM hitch hardness, parts # 0000-8E-N13A, it is around $63 online from www.worldimpex.com. I called my local Mazda dealer and had it price matched and ordered.
Installation is not difficult if you have all tools. A torque wrench (I bought a 3/8" Husky one from Home Depot for $76) with a 19mm or 3/4" socket and an adjustable wrench with long arm will get the job done in less than an hour.

These benchmarks echo Ten Years After: The Second Intermodal Revolution, a recently-released white paper sponsored by the Association of American Railroads and IANA, which states in certain terms that intermodal has become an accepted shipper choice for both international and domestic goods movement and is currently the largest rail commodity by revenue. Moving from marginal to profitable, author Anthony "Tony" Hatch credits intermodal with allowing rails to move back up the value chain, driving the "Railroad Renaissance," and predicts intermodal's success is still in the "early innings stage."
"This has been a banner year and quarter for intermodal, underscoring the strong alternative it provides to over-the-road transport," said Joni Casey, president and CEO of IANA. "All markets performed exceptionally well during the fourth quarter, with both international and intermodal trailers recording their best improvement in years."
International intermodal continued its comeback from previous quarters and recorded growth of 2.3 percent in 2013, as compared to 1.8 percent in 2012. Q4 2013 for the same sector jumped a solid 5.9 percent over Q4 2012. Due to depressed Q4 2012 loadings, a bump in international containers was expected, but this quarter's uptick was enough to suggest a trend rather than easy year-over-year comparisons.
The increase posted by trailers was particularly impressive in Q4, reaching almost 5 percent and nearly reversing exceptionally slow performance in the first part of the year. Overall, trailer shipments ended the year only 0.7 percent below 2012.
Of the seven largest volume corridors within the United States, the Midwest-Southwest was the clear winner; the lane expanded a notable 12.9 percent when compared with last year's Q4. The intra-Southeast also beat industry expectations, due to a marked domestic container boost. Overall, key corridor growth rose 5.9 percent during the quarter.
When comparing fourth quarter regional traffic, the Southeast posted the highest gains, with a 10.4 percent year-over-year increase. This was due in large part to the region's exposure to domestic containers. The Mountain Central, Northeast and Midwest regions also rose just under 10 percent. The Northwest region underperformed, largely attributable to a sharp drop in international intermodal volumes.

Anyone know a source for a good old fashioned DUMB phone that is compatible with ATT. Yeah, I see some cheapies online - with terrible reviews. Was hoping for something durable, with good sound quality. This so-called smart phone I have - how do I hate thee, let me count the ways.... Battery charge doesn't even last a day. The time you really need to make the call is the time it goes flat out dead and you have to recharge it. Smiling or otherwise moving your face in a way that inadvertently touches the phone causes the phone call to cut off. Usually in the middle of something important. Volume of ringtone is always getting turned down inadvertently - of course you don't know that's happened until you miss an important call. You can't choose to have it ring more than 5 times. Whoever decided that does not have a women's bag they have to dig through to find their phone. Voicemail gives you no indication of time or date person called. (May or may not show up in the log.) In other words its utterly incapable of giving me what I want in a phone - ease in making and receiving phone calls. The graphics are pretty though. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Normally people get smart phones for having all the capabilities that what's essentially an internet connected PC can offer. You've made no mention of those, so I wonder why you bought a smart phone? You can go to an ATT store to get what you want. |

We're low key people. Rarely do we do big parties to celebrate, and if we do, they are never fussy. Most of the time we prefer a day of fun, spent with immediate family or a friend or two. Today we had a blast as we celebrated Daniel's Birthday!
First stop of the day, a beach gathering with friends! Daniel lazed on the beach, carving out the perfect seat in the sand and dozing with his hat over his face. Doozer and I headed down to the shore and splashed around in the COLD water with his new super long leash.
My sweet friend Nicki took these of us (minus the first selfie) and I love them. After lunch and some sunshine, we headed to an ice cream shop for some sweets for the drive home.
After a nice nap, Daniel played his latest video game while I ran out for pizza and cake. I lit a candle, sang him a song, and the birthday boy blew out the candle. With our tummies full of goodness, we were ready for our last adventure of the day…
…Pinball! About a year ago we were introduced to a guy who owns a garage and once a week in the evenings, he opens up the backroom where he keeps about a dozen pinball machines on free play. It's like a Daniel dreamland. We spent a while hanging out and enjoying vintage game play.
I love our little family. We have such a wonderful time just being together and doing the things we love. I'm glad that we have the chance to celebrate each other and the joy we find in the little moments of just being who we are.
Written by the wife of the most awesome birthday boy in the world,
