The future of Heroic attunements {WoW}
Jun 9th 2008 7:01PM While I have absolutely no problem with Blizzard changing the way Heroic keys may be earned your argument that "even with Honored, some people with different playstyles (solo players, for example, since lots of reputation comes from running instances) are still having trouble." is odd. Why would you want to give "solo" players a key without having to run an instance. Heroics are a step up in difficulty yet the argument here seems to be lets give players who don't want to run an instance to get what is a very small amount of rep the keys to the hard mode.
You already have situations where people haven't actually done an instance to get the heroic key, which causes more wipes and frankly more wasted time. I have no issue if Blizzard want to make these keys available in some way or another but they should absolutely make it necessary to run the instance at least once in full.
I've been trying to think of a faction which is currently tough to get honored with for the heroic key. Providing you've done the quests while levelling for those factions then most would require you to only step into once instance. Which often means you may not have visited the other instances associated with that faction by the time you're honored. The only instances which really require you to run instances more than once to get honored are probably in the Caverns of Time.
I respect Blizzard for making it a challenge to get far better loot, they reduced that challenge yet some people still find it tough? I appreciate that not everyone has hours to spend farming reputation, but running an instance to learn it while also gaining the necessary reputation (so long as you've done the solo levelling quests) shouldn't be a problem even for the most casual gamer.
I made a point to visit all instances on normal before going in on heroic even if I have the heroic key, it gives me chance to get a feel for the place and I'd like to think the group I'll go with in heroic would notice the difference of that experience. I can't force my way of playing on other people though and I wouldn't want to; play to have fun, but please don't take away some challenge to getting rewards.
I'd favour a method where for each instance you had to run it in its entirety, not for each faction but actualy for each instance. Once quest per instance and you can then get the key for that instance while those you might not like can remain closed off. This would make it easy enough that even a very casual gamer could get the key while guaranteeing that they've at least run it once.

The Sustainability Program
149 North Stone, 2nd Floor
Tucson, AZ 85701
P.O. Box 27210
Tucson, AZ 85726
(520) 791-4675
Use the following links for more information about the CCC: |
On September 6, 2006 the Tucson Mayor and Council adopted the Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement(MCPA), becoming one of more than 900 cities that have signed on. To date, nine other Arizona cities have joined Tucson in signing the MCPA. The MCPA was created in response to the U.S. government's failure to sign on to the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement to address climate disruption by setting a goal of reducing global warming pollution levels to 7% below 1990 levels by 2012. Mayors from around the nation signed the U.S. MCPA urging the federal and state governments to enact policies and programs to meet or beat the Kyoto reduction target, and effectively adopting the Kyoto emissions goal. |
The signatory cities of the MCPA agree to take action in their own operations and communities towards meeting or exceeding Kyoto Protocol targets for reducing global warming pollution, including efforts to:
• Inventory global warming emissions, set reduction targets and create an action plan.
• Reduce sprawl, preserve open space, and create compact, walkable urban communities.
• Promote transportation options to single-occupant car use.
• Increase the use of clean, alternative energy.
• Improve municipal energy efficiency.
• Purchase only Energy Star equipment and appliances for City use.
• Practice and promote sustainable building practices, such as through the LEED program.
• Reduce fossil fuel consumption by the municipal fleet.
• Increase pump efficiency in water systems.
• Increase recycling rates.
• Maintain urban green space and promote tree planting to increase shading and to absorb CO2.
• Educate others about reducing global warming pollution.
The City, in conjunction with Pima County and the Pima Association of Governments, completed an updated Regional Greenhouse Gas Inventory for both City of Tucson internal operations and the community at large in October 2008. The inventory was the first conducted in the region since 1998 and provides the baseline data from which the City and other regional governments can build their respective Climate Action Plans.
Climate Change Citizens Advisory Committee
In 2008, Tucson's Mayor and Council formally established a Framework for Advancing Sustainability, a document that identifies for the first time the vision and guidance necessary for developing a comprehensive sustainability program for the City of Tucson. An important component of the Framework is the creation of a Climate Change Advisory Committee. The Committee serves several important functions. First, it brings with it broad, high-level skill sets, expertise and vision necessary to address the multiple dimensions of climate change in a strategic manner on behalf of the City. The Committee also represents key stakeholder groups that will contribute to the broad climate change and sustainability work that needs to be undertaken over the long term. Among the Committee's principal functions is to develop a Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Plan (MAP) that includes recommendations to achieve the City's greenhouse gas reduction commitments under the MCPA along with strategies and action steps needed to prepare for both the direct and indirect effects of climate change on the City's infrastructure and operations, as well as its ecological, economic, and social capital. Thirteen areas of expertise and stakeholder groups are represented on the Climate Change Committee: climate change science, sustainable land use/transportation, architecture and sustainable design, community grass roots efforts, urban green space/urban heat island mitigation, low-income representation, local economy, workforce advocacy/training, social services, small/local business, neighborhood advocacy/support, human health, and food security.

The only topical treatment to even slightly faze the dreaded body acne is copious amounts of isopropyl alcohol. Even then, it's a battle that's hard to win. Oral antibiotics have also been known to do the trick; ask your dermatologist.
Isolaz, an in-office dermatological treatment, zaps and prevents acne. You have to do three to four treatments over six months, and it's not cheap ($500 each time), but it really does work. The new at-home device from Tria Beauty (pictured) functions in a similar way.

Updated: September 13, 2012 6:10AM
The bell hangs there in silent retirement, maybe remembering those for whom it tolled when men and horses worked near home, waiting for the signal to come in to drink, eat and rest.
It was called the dinner bell because in the place of my childhood, dinner was at noon and supper was served at night.
Now, as we turn into the driveway of my late brother's farmhouse, it seems to welcome us. We are home again.
I have claimed irrevocable rights of visitation — maybe, I think, it is more like the rites of visitation because each visit is special.
My niece, who lives a 7-iron shot away down a path through the cornfield, keeps the house ready for family pilgrims. The family link is solid. No credit card is necessary.
A dramatic, perhaps a despoiling change is plowing through southern Indiana, although some may call it progress. Men and machines are digging their way south, building an extension to Indiana 69. Like a glacier, these diggers are moving southward to somewhere near Evansville — a highway that will leave some small places behind and create money-making opportunities for others who will be close to exits and entrances.
I am startled to see, on the eastern edge of Elnora, an overpass, making space for the new road. Some little local roads are closed temporarily while the big project is digging its way south. This invasion of men and machines brings few cheers from folks where I grew up.
The dry weather has scorched some of the corn and other crops, and left rural lawns brown and comatose. Driving anywhere in Indiana reminds us that this season of heat does not play favorites.
I look at the familiar fields where I worked and it strikes me that despite the lengthening years since I called that area home, it still is a familiar scene. Maybe it is like some time-lapse photography, seen over and over. In my memory, time seems to stand still and I can remember the fun places, the sound of the dinner bell, and then the birth of tractors and machines that changed the face of farm work.
Even the road diggers cannot build bypasses that will erase the pictures in my head and heart.
I think, as I watch the sun rise and hear the bleating of the goats that are kept here by the farmer who works the property, that this land will survive much like it is even in the relentless march of time, and the building of a new highway. That is comforting.
The goats? In the fenced barn-meadow area, a dozen or so of those funny animals look me over as I say good morning. After a few bleats, they decide that I am nothing special and they leave to look for food and drink. These guys are not like the mythical billy goats that eat tin cans and do other crazy stuff. These are, well, refined, and each one wears a collar with its name. The kids are cute.
There is money in goats, I hear. A few years back, my brother had sheep, and before that some cattle.
A short hike from the house, a little pond suffers from an awful thirst. A picnic table nearby adds atmosphere, but it cannot bring solace to that suffering pond.
As we leave, I think that many others who grew up on farms have fond memories too, but some may not be old enough to remember the dinner bell. Going home, even if only in memories, can be therapeutic.
My brother left a memorable sign nailed to a tree by the driveway: Parking for Hoosier fans only. And there I was, wearing a Purdue hat, just for fun.

Route SU001
Having started a new job based in Leatherhead, I was determined to take advantage of the opportunity of exploring new areas and loading up new routes on the site.
A good starting point I thought would be the only current route in Surrey and (over optimistically) I whizzed across after work for the ride.
Having used my Satmap unit to guide me through Dorking, I made the basic schoolboy error – I got to the car park at the same moment that my unit announced "Battery critical" and started the 30 second count down to switch itself off.
Brilliant – first time in the area, on my own and no GPS unit. Equally importantly, would Ade ever let me hear the last of it???
I hunted round the car and fortunately, found 3 half used AA batteries in my head torch, swapped them in to my GPS and I was off and running with e printed route directions and map as back up.
90 minutes in to the route and the half used batteries packed in just outside of Peaslake so I opted to bug out (as the light was just beginning to go too so I had bugger all chance of completing the route – more time down the gym me thinks) and took the roads route back to the car park.
Mike - UK Mountainbiker
A great first ride in this area – I was amazed at the downhills on offer and want more!!!

Selling Sex: Should It Be A Crime?
By Tammy Nelson
Giving women power over their choices and their bodies has always been a controversial topic in this male-dominated country. And yet allowing women control over their bodies could lead to a decrease in risk of disease to the population of men that use prostitutes, massage workers and strippers and also protects the partners they may go home to. In countries where prostitution is sanctioned, women are required to attend clinics to seek health care to prevent rates of sexually transmitted diseases.
Until prostitution can become fully regulated sex workers remain victims, trapped in a male dominated legal system that forces them to hide their profession, then punishes them for it, while at the same time seeking them out for personal gain. One has to wonder what gave that particular Colombian prostitute in that hotel room in Cartagena the courage to stand up for herself and demand her pay from a room full of Secret Service personnel. The story could have ended so differently. It usually does.
Dr Tammy Nelson is a world renowned expert in relationships, a psychotherapist in private practice, and a trainer and seminar leader worldwide. She is the author of several books and speaks internationally on sexuality and human relationships. She can be found at www.drtammynelson.com

Home Health Care Services
Home health care is an often misunderstood concept, especially when it comes to senior care. Will my insurance cover home health care services? This is the number one question we get asked.
Long term care insurance (LTC/LTCI) is the primary insurance option. However, long term care insurance coverage is not the only way to gain the services of a home healthcare agency like Granny NANNIES.

Shakespeare is for everybody—and that includes elementary school and English Language Learning students! Many performance-based teaching strategies work very successfully with these students, getting them up on their feet and interacting with the text cognitively, physically, and vocally. At this stage, students are less conditioned to "fear" Shakespeare's words, and are willing to play!
English Language Learners/English as a Second Language students (ELL/ESL) come to reading Shakespeare from diverse backgrounds, with different experiences, prior knowledge, and varying styles of learning. In addition, students in any given classroom will be at different points in their English language acquisition. Because of these considerations, teaching Shakespeare to ELL/ESL students requires a specific arsenal of strategies for reading and for dramatic performance.
For ideas to use in your elementary classroom, check out our webinar on teaching Shakespeare in elementary and middle school s, teaching modules for primary level students, teacher to teacher videos, and an NPR feature on second grade students reading Macbeth.
For your ELL/ESL classroom, check out our teaching modules which incorporate performance-based teaching methodologies that can be highly effective with students of every ability, at every grade level. Although written with ELL/ESL students in mind, these lessons will be valuable and fun additions to any language curriculum.

I've been growing Musa Basjoo in Northern New Jersey for a few years now with good success. If anyone is interested, I've documented and taken pictures of my Basjoo experiences. |

Your banana's look awesome!!! I have two Musa's, I left them in the ground over the winter, we had a brutal one, and they both survived. I simply cut down the stalk to about 6 inches, covered the stalk with about 2 feet of chopped up leaves. The first sign of spring, I dug away the leaves, and bam I had growth!!! |
- Posted by compostman 6 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 28, 08 at 14:13
With the mild winters that we've been having lately, I'm tempted to leave a few of my plants in the ground too. I may give it a try. |
- Posted by miraclegrower (My Page) on Fri, Aug 29, 08 at 0:34
Sounds great. You wont regret trying banana's. I ripped my entire backyard up, wrote up some plans. One side of yard has a tiny strip of grass left to mow. I went out and bought a reel mower, no more gas! Heck I can use a weed eater to cut my lawn its so small now with all the plants and bushes. I planted privet bushes, tropicals,flowers, ornamental grasses,vines,rose of sharons,elephant ears,iris,salvia. I cut down the tall trees to allow sun for the tropicals which by the way are now acting as shade. I also went on the side of the backroads to collect some wild Golden Rod, and some flowers I have no idea what they are. If I see a flower I like on the backroads, I dig it out, just be careful when doing this, and make sure your not breaking any laws. I now have a jungle in Kentucky. When spring comes, I know its almost time for the show to begin. There is absolutely nothing better for the mind and the soul than having a wonderful garden to enjoy. The stuff you plant becomes apart of you. |

Hey that's interesting. I bought a reel mower this year too. And I couldn't agree more about the nothing better for the mind and soul. |
Hi, I grew my first banana this year from a corm and it's almost ten ft tall in the pot I have it in. I'm in Wayne and havenlt decided what to do yet for the winter. Do you just pull the whole thing in the garage and leave it all winter ? Without cutting it down ? Is your garage heated ? |
Thanks for the link and pictures. This spring I planted a musa basjoo seedling in the garden. With some composted manure, regular fertilizer and watering it grew to about 5 feet high with big impressive leaves. It wasn't even the warmest summer and the plant was in 75% full sun, but not total full sun. I have two basjoo's and one I will try to overwinter in a dark basement, the other in the kitchen window as a houseplant. I'm not sure how the basement one will work out, since the basement isn't that cool in winter as one might expect. I also have an ensete that I started from seed a year ago and overwintered as a houseplant last winter. I watered sparingly and put it in a north facing window. Also, if you have forced air heat be sure the air doesn't blow directly on the plant or it encourages spider mites. When my ensete went back outside in spring it lost most of it's leaves (they were floppy from lack of light and easily tattered in wind and sunburned), but the new ones were normal. I transplanted into a slightly bigger pot but, while it looked nice this season, it didn't gain much height. I think I should have either fertilized more than once a week or, probably more ideally, I think it really would have done better planted directly into the ground. Glenn |

The most influential woman in Italian fashion is also one of the smallest. In fact, when she enters Cipriani Downtown, the Italian restaurant that is effectively a New York outpost of Harry's Bar in Venice, I don't even see her until she is just in front of me, saying hello in a surprisingly throaty voice. Yet twice during our lunch various fashion folk stop by to pay obeisance, and just after she sits, two complimentary Bellinis materialise on the table. Word has got out that Franca Sozzani, the 63-year-old editor-in-chief of Italian Vogue, is in the house, and a lesson in soft power is on the menu.
Sozzani is celebrating her 25th year at the helm of Italian Vogue, which makes her one of the two longest-serving editors of any Vogue ever. The other is US Vogue's Anna Wintour, who was hired the same month as Sozzani. However, while Wintour was elevated to artistic director of Condé Nast US this year, Sozzani has been editorial director of Condé Nast Italia since 1994, and also has direct responsibility for L'Uomo Vogue and Vogue Gioiello. Though Italian Vogue's distribution of 120,000 is small when compared with US Vogue's 1.3m, it has an outsized influence that is, ironically in the age of the end of print, growing.
Thirty per cent of the readership is non-Italian, while the website has 1.86m users, with half the traffic coming from outside Italy. Alone among Vogue editors, Sozzani has a daily blog, which she writes herself. The blog, on Vogue.it, has taken on everything from eating disorders to the Italian government and the fashion world itself (recently deploring its tendency to gossip and spread rumours about who is taking over what house).
In some ways, her magazine's circulation has worked to Sozzani's advantage: instead of trying to please all the people all the time, she can please mostly herself, most of the time. In the Condé Nast universe, where star editors carve out specific identities, Wintour is the string-puller, manipulating the fashion world from behind her curtain; UK Vogue editor Alex Shulman is the reporter and real woman; and former French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld was the provocatrix; but Sozzani has become the activist – though you'd never know it to look at her.
When we meet, for example, she is wearing a full-skirted black Alaïa dress and flat leopard-skin smoking slippers. I have seen her on the fashion circuit for years, and have never known her to succumb to the trend for the power jacket or engage in the my-shoes-are-higher-than-yours competition. Along with her hair, which is long and blonde, centre-parted and worn loose in waves, this tends to emphasise her delicacy (probably deceptively, probably to her advantage), as do her signature antique diamond chandelier earrings. Once, at a fashion show, I was seated across the runway from her, and the male editor next to me looked across at her and her older sister, Carla, the owner of Milanese concept store 10 Corso Como, and sighed, "Those women are so extraordinary! Like Modiglianis."
. . .
He is not the only one to think so: at Cipriani in SoHo, the waiter seems similarly mesmerised and loath to leave our table's vicinity but, instead of ordering, Sozzani waves him off. He deposits a plate of toast and breadsticks and disappears with a few backward glances. Sozzani picks up a breadstick, snaps off a chunk, and explains how she got here (which has nothing to do with the town car idling outside).
"I ask myself, 'Why would someone buy Chinese Vogue?'" she says. "That's easy: they read it to find out about that market. Fine, but why would anyone buy Italian Vogue? They wouldn't – only Italians read Italian. And I love Italy and am very happy to be Italian but I always knew we would have to speak to the rest of the world, and the way to do that was through images. That it was the way to get attention: to push concepts through pictures that other countries would not do. Today, all our language is visual, and that seems normal. But when I began ... "
That was in 1988, when Sozzani became editor-in-chief of Italian Vogue. Before she arrived the magazine was, she says, "a catalogue of Italian brands. And very well-organised. Every month you start with the Armani story, then the Krizia story, then Versace, then Ferragamo ... but I changed everything: the graphics, the photographers."
Sozzani helped launch, and still works with, such names as Steven Meisel, Bruce Weber and Paolo Roversi. It didn't go over terribly well in the beginning. "I had a very tough first two years," she says. "Italian Vogue had all these little local companies that used to advertise and they didn't understand what was going on at all. But the international brands knew, and they were interested."
As part of celebrations to mark the Financial Times' 125th anniversary this year, Penguin is publishing Lunch with the FT: 52 Classic Interviews. The selection of encounters features, among others, Zaha Hadid talking to Lucy Kellaway, Angelina Jolie (above) with Matthew Garrahan, Michael Caine with Peter Aspden, Jimmy Carter in conversation with Andrew Ward, George Soros talking to Daniel Dombey, and Nouriel Roubini with Gillian Tett. The book is available as a hardback and ebook. www.ft.com/125
Sozzani is in New York briefly to see her son, photographer Francesco Carrozzini, and to attend the Met Ball, and then she has to go back to Italy before going to Africa, where she is making stops in Nigeria and Ethiopia, albeit not for fashion stories. In 2011 she became a goodwill ambassador for Fashion 4 Development, an organisation loosely linked to the United Nations that looks at ways the industry can help the developing world. This grew out of her work with special issues, which have become something of a global Vogue trend, but unlike US and UK Vogue, which have standardised these into the "size issue" and the "power issue" and the "age issue", Sozzani takes on political issues: racism, in the black issue (2008); sustainability, last month's earth issue of L'Uomo Vogue; drugs, the rehab issue (2007); and plastic surgery, the makeover issue (2005).
Sozzani's special issues are one-offs, and though they are often controversial and, early on, caused a lot of concern at Condé Nast headquarters about potentially alienating readers and advertisers, they have become collectors' issues: the black issue was reprinted twice in the US and once in France and Germany.
A Vogue editor taking on big causes may seem like an oxymoron, and opens her up to accusations of dilettantism but Sozzani doesn't seem particularly bothered. After all, UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon and New York mayor Michael Bloomberg have appeared on the cover of L'Uomo Vogue and been interviewed inside by Sozzani, so if they don't mind ...
"I don't think I'm a writer, though," she says, sipping her Bellini. "In the same way I don't call myself a humanitarian. I would never pretend to those labels. I'm like a normal person with curiosity. Here's what I think: fashion isn't really about clothes. It's about life. Go into the street, and you see it: everyone can afford fashion on some level, everyone can talk about it. So what else can we say? We can't always be writing about flowers and lace and aquamarine."
. . .
At this point, we are 45 minutes into lunch and haven't even cracked the menu, though I have ploughed through a few breadsticks. I finally break down and suggest we order. Sozzani scans the list of offerings for about 10 seconds and then asks for the beef carpaccio, while I select the tuna tartare. She picks up where she has left off.
"When I got involved with Africa, I realised you can't start with fashion," she says. "You have to start with water. This is the first problem. It's the one case, where you have to start out thinking small: in other words, with the most basic aims. If you start immediately thinking big – how to create global industry – you won't be able to do anything."
On the other hand, she also points out, "There is so much money in Nigeria, and nowhere to spend it. We flew to Lagos, and waited 30 minutes to land because there was no space for a private jet; it was all occupied. But here's what happens: they do business and then go to Dubai to spend their money. I told the president, 'You need places people can go.'"
Sozzani is part of a generation of Italian women who have ended up in fashion almost by default; her contemporary Miuccia Prada is similar (Prada took over her family company around the same time Sozzani took over Lei, an Italian version of Glamour). Raised, along with her sister with whom she is very close, in Mantua, northern Italy, Sozzani wanted to study physics but "my father [a mechanical engineer] thought that wasn't right for a woman, so I studied philosophy." She speaks Italian, French and English, plus a smattering of Russian and German. She married immediately after university but divorced after three months. Her sister, then working in fashion magazines, "saw an ad in Corriere della Sera for an assistant at Vogue Bambini and applied for me. I thought it would be something to do for a few years. I never really took it seriously at all."
Nevertheless, she says, it was a good training ground: she worked for the editor and his wife and learnt an enormous amount about management, including "never give up; I was almost fired so many times." In 1980, aged 29, she became editor-in-chief of Lei. Eight years later she landed at Vogue. Along the way she had her son, published a few books and received various honours, culminating in the Légion d'honneur. She has never remarried, though rumours circulated that she had secretly wed Ugandan oil magnate Charles Mbire last year. She took to Twitter to deny it, writing, "Despite all problems, trash papers exist also in Africa."
One of her recent campaigns has been closer to home: identifying and supporting the next generation of designers. Like other Vogues, she has created a competition to discover and showcase young designers but, unlike most other such initiatives, hers is international with designers from China, Korea, Africa and France involved.
As she says when our food arrives: "The designer of Balenciaga is now Asian-American, not French or even Spanish. How can we make these distinctions? I don't think someone is good or not because they are Italian or French or whatever. It has nothing to do with nationality."
As if to underscore her point, Giambattista Valli, an Italian showing on the couture schedule in Paris, materialises beside her in the Manhattan restaurant to pay homage in the form of air kisses.
. . .
After Valli takes his leave, I suggest that there seems to be a problem with young designers breaking through the fashion establishment, especially in Italy, where the big names have been dominant for pretty much as long as Sozzani has run Vogue.
Culture and craftsmanship have become tools to promote a business that now exists in its own right
She points out that, of all Italian designers, Donatella Versace has been most supportive of new designers, signing them up to work with her on her Versus line and promoting them. The last such alumnus was Christopher Kane. "But then he wanted to do his own thing, which is correct," says Sozzani. "The question is, 'Who is going to let them do their own thing? Who is going to support them?' If you have a good business, you are rich. So why shouldn't other designers spend their money on this?"
It seems to me a brand such as Prada would be well-placed to create an "Italian" group of new designers. Sozzani nods. "It's true, Miuccia's old assistants are very talented: Alessandra Facchinetti, [now at Tod's], Stefano Pilati [formerly of YSL, now creative director of Zegna]. It's good training to be an assistant – it was for me. But I think they [Prada] had a very bad experience when they owned Jil Sander and Helmut Lang. It scared them."
Sozzani is slicing smoothly through her carpaccio, and it occurs to me her meal is not unlike her blog: thin but with a meaty texture. As I ponder the beef, a very tall young woman dressed all in black runs in from the street and starts chattering in Italian. It's Bianca Brandolini d'Adda, Dolce & Gabbana's muse. After they kiss, the socialite goes, and Sozzani again picks up her thread. "I tell schools they should really offer a language course that would teach designers how to talk to industrialists and producers. Designers are always saying, 'Ooh, but he doesn't understand me.' They need to learn." She pauses, leans forward. "I think we can teach them, no? There are benefits to experience."
Not all Sozzani's campaigns have gone well. For example, a shoot in her August 2010 issue, influenced by the BP oil spill, featured model Kristen McMenamy in black clothes covered in what seemed like oil. Critics accused her of glamorising disaster, and she had to go on assorted media to explain herself. When a blog is controversial, Sozzani says: "We always leave all the comments up. I think it keeps us closer to reality." She is, she says, "obsessed" with her blog. "I go to bed thinking about it and I wake up thinking about it. It's relentless. You can't ever stop. It gives me no peace." At the moment, though, she is thinking about what to do for her next special issue. "I'm trying to find an idea but it's not so easy to find a big idea. Just the way it's not so easy to find a great designer."
The waiter appears and asks if we want coffee; we both order cappuccinos, which arrive with a complimentary plate of cookies.
I ask if she wants to tackle politics, which seems a pretty ripe subject in Italy. "It's true," Sozzani says. "The election left me speechless. But it feels a bit better now. People seem to have some hope that something might change ... For me, none of this was ever about power. It's always about creativity."
This apparently makes her remember she is on the clock to create, and she leans back and sighs, "I have to go write my blog now." Leaving, she is trailed by a cloud of Italian from the maître d'. I realise I am still hungry – my tuna tartare was not that filling – but when he brought the bill, the waiter also made off with the uneaten cookies. Later, looking for something else to chew on, I check to see what Sozzani has written in her blog. There's a piece on the Met (she had fun at the ball), a bit on breakfast with Korean pop phenomenon Psy, and one entitled: "No to Carbon." Despite the fact I know Sozzani is about to get on a lot of aircraft, or maybe because of it, that's the one I want to read.

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 Squirt!
Facts about Squirt
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Squirt's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and not good with cats.
The photos of Squirt just do not do her justice. She is a great-looking cat with lovely and long white whiskers that one notices immediately. Her face houses two prominent eyes that look out at the world with interest. Squirt is a five year old gal that prefers her domain to be cat and young child-free. She may do okay with dogs, but does not currently live with any so we cannot be sure. We think she would suit an older owner or family with older children to perfection. Give us a ring to ask your questions about Squirt. We hope you can give her a wonderful life!! 231-737-5644 ext 3. And come see her at Petco!
Other Pets at Heaven Can Wait Animal Haven
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Squirt, a Muskegon 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 Muskegon, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Muskegon.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Muskegon 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 Muskegon 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 Muskegon paves the way for another one to be saved.

National Editor Tom KarstWith comments due April 9, more than 20,000 comments (and counting) have been received on www.regulations.gov website for the "National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs: Nutrition Standards for All Foods Sold in School, as Required by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010." Check out the docket here.
Find the United Fresh comment here
An excerpt:
United Fresh supports the following:
• USDA's definitions for "competitive food," "school day," and "school campus". The standards should apply to all snacks and beverages sold in schools, across the school campus, and throughout the school day.
• All foods sold in schools should provide students with a positive nutritional benefit, such as be a fruit, vegetable or whole grain, or naturally contain 10 percent of the Daily Value of a nutrient of public health concern and meet strong standards for calories, fats, sugars, and salt.
• The standards should apply to foods and beverages as they are packaged and sold to children.
• Calorie limits should be tiered to elementary schools, middle schools and high schools to reflect that elementary students require fewer calories per day than high school students.
• All foods sold in school cafeterias should meet the standards.
• State agencies and school districts have the authority to establish additional or stronger standards for competitive foods, as long as such standards are consistent with the minimum federal standards.
• State agencies can specify the frequency of fundraisers as long as they are infrequent and not allowed on school campus during school meal service.
From PMA's comment
USDA stated in its proposal that implementation of nutrition standards for competitive foods will result in "potentially more expensive" mix of foods offered. We disagree with USDA's position on this issue, at least as it relates to fruits and vegetables. PMA's produce pricing research from October 2010, albeit conducted from a retail market basket perspective, showed that the DGA's daily recommended nine servings of fresh fruits and vegetables can be attained through prices ranging from 88 cents to $2.18. Though schools are not responsible for ensuring children get nine servings each day, the research shows that the idea that healthful eating has to be expensive is a myth.

Just created this bed, and there was a spot I couldn't plant it (tree roots). So...I took an old garbage can lid we never used and made a little pond for the birds and wee critters to have a drink at. |

How darling! What a great idea! |
I'm sure many small creatures will be grateful! I hope that won't include mosquitoes! Jan |
- Posted by eclecticcottage 6b wny (My Page) on Wed, May 29, 13 at 16:39
Thanks! We don't have many mosquitoes here. Sand flies, by the millions though. I try to clean out/change the water on my bird baths/pools every few days and just about every day when it's hot. I have a regular bird bath (pedestal and dish) then various other saucers and old glassware pots about to a total of 6 or 7. Even with the lake right here, they see a LOT of use in the summer! I added two this year (this one and another in a perennial bed) to the four I had last year. In the hottest months, I would come home to empty saucers last year from the water being splashed out/drunk (drank?). I might add another regular bird bath still, and maybe another old pot (pyrex), I just need to determine a place for them. Well, and maybe a bigger water feature with a pump in a "problem" bed that would take up space from annoying plants like lily of the valley! |
- Posted by laurastheme (My Page) on Fri, May 31, 13 at 22:14
Very creative. I've considered a mini pond, but our dog would probably drink all the water. I have birdbaths on my side deck and she's always drinking out of it. It's not like she doesn't have a water bowl here in the house. |
- Posted by frankielynn 7b (My Page) on Sat, Jun 1, 13 at 23:15
I wonder if this attracts butterflies? Have you seen any? They need a damp spot with dirt for minerals and water. |
I don't know about all butterflies, but gulf fritillaries lay their eggs on passionflowers, Here, their favorite variety is Constance Elliott. Swallowtails lay their eggs on dill or parsley. Monarchs like milkweed. They all eat pollen, as far as I know. I'm certainly no expert, but have raised passionflowers and herbs and found the butterflies a nuisance. bk |
- Posted by eclecticcottage 6b wny (My Page) on Mon, Jun 3, 13 at 9:41
My dog probably would also drink from it, but she doesn't come up to the front yard. Actually...I KNOW she would drink from it, because she can't wait to get outside when it rains to drink from puddles...because apparently that tastes better than the water in her dish. No butterflies there yet. I've only seen a few so far this year flitting by. I set out a mud dish last year but never saw any visit it (not that they didn't and I didn't see them though). |
I've noticed that my goofy dogs would much, much rather drink any kind of outside water vs their inside the house dog water. Why? Who knows!? |
Thanks for the idea. I pinned this and also started to follow you on Pinterest. Did you glue the first layer of stones to the lid? I am thinking about doing this with one of my SEVERAL bowls. |
- Posted by eclecticcottage 6b wny (My Page) on Fri, Jun 14, 13 at 8:16
No glue, I just rinsed the gravel alot and spread it around the bottom. Then I placed the stones around the outside edge. I think they would stay better if they weren't used as a perch by the visiting birds coming for a bath, but since the idea was to provide water for them...I just fix them every so often as I walk by. |

Unlike my long really old turorials with crappy photos, these new series of " TIP " posts will be really short tutorials of sort. Short and concise with few crappy photos.
So here it goes...
TIP #1: excess cement is best!
I would assume that if your in this site and actually reading this post, that you know removing seam lines using thin cement through capillary action right?
Basically you snap two pieces together leaving a very thin gap along each part. Then you apply thin cement and let it run through the thin gap. Let air dry for about 5 seconds, then snap both parts together.
Oozing excess cement after snapping both parts together while holding it real tight for a minute is your desired result. Why? Coz you could shave those cured excess cement after around 4 hours.
Voila! No more seam lines to fill later. Cement is always enough for seam line removal if you get the ooZed look right after application. So as I've said, excess cement is best!
Hope You like my new " TIP " post. Until next post guys... Just enjoy the hobby! :)

New Mexico
this wiki
(covers information from several alternate timelines)
New Mexico was a region of the nation-state United States of America, on Earth's North American continent.
Prior to becoming part of the United States, New Mexico was part of the Spanish Empire and the home of many Native American tribes. In the 1680s, it was the primary location of the Pueblo Revolt. Ten years later, the area was reconquered by Spain and hundreds of Native Americans were killed. One of the soldiers who suppressed the revolt was Javier Maribona-Picard, a distant ancestor of Starfleet Captain Jean-Luc Picard. (TNG: "Journey's End")
In 1925, a Folsom point was discovered there. (TOS: "The Galileo Seven")
In an alternate timeline in which Nazi Germany had invaded the United States, as of 1944 New Mexico was controlled by American forces. (ENT: "Storm Front", "Storm Front, Part II")
In July 1947, Rom, Odo, Quark, and Nog crash landed in a Ferengi shuttle near the town of Roswell in this region. Their crash landing became known as the Roswell Incident. (DS9: "Little Green Men")
In 1957, White Sands, New Mexico was the location of an atomic bomb test that was aired on television. (ENT: "Carbon Creek")

With x11-base/xorg-server-0.99.1-r5, the missing sparc-specific source files are no longer missing, and one build cycle runs successfully. However, suppose that you want to build it more than once, and suppose you are using the 'eselect opengl ...' version of opengl-update: x11-base/opengl-update-3.0.0. Then, the symbolic links /usr/include/GL/gl.h -> /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include/gl.h etc. (all but 2 of the 7 required) disappear, and a second build of xorg-server fails with "cannot include GL/glxproto.h - type messages. In other words, the header files provided by the glproto and mesa packages are not available to xorg-server when it builds (nor to anything else which expects them to be in /usr/include/GL...). eselect-opengl establishes glext.h, glxext.h, but I cannot find how the rest of the GL/... headers are supposed to get setup. If you create the links by hand, everything seems to build fine. (But after each build or xorg-server, if you want to rebuild for some reason, you need to reestablish the links, because the opengl-update helpfully removes them.) At least, this is the case on my system, and as I mentioned previously, everything is happening in a chroot environment where in theory, the only X11 installed comes from X modular. -- Ferris McCormick (P44646, MI) <firstname.lastname@example.com> Developer, Gentoo Linux (Sparc, Devrel)

Usually, I find the part number this way if I can't buy it off of them. I can do neither this time! Help, so I can order the right hose? |

The brass outlets are actually outlets for your transmission cooler line. Is the brass cracked/broken or is the rubber that is leaking? (I'm currently an ASE master tech with former mazda dealership experience) |
As the post above said, those brass thingys are fittings for the transmission. Transmission fluid is pumped through a section of the radiator to cool the fluid. In winter, it also helps to warm the radiator faster. These hoses are different than ordinary radiator and heater hoses. The liner material has to withstand hot transmission fliud. You should be able to buy these hoses at your friendly Mazada dealer, or you may be able to find bulk hosing at an auto parts store such as NAPA or AutoZone. Take that nice picture along to show the counter man which hose you need. Likely, you will loose some transmission fluid when these hoses are changed. After the new hoses have been installed, start the engine to refill the lines and cooler and then top off the transmission fluid. |
Really? Because when I took off the old radiator to replace it--the hose ran from one outlet to the other outlet. Not outside of the radiator. And it had been like that for years. The car is 23 years old. Hm. Which explains why the picture doesn't show it online. somebody just has it feeding back into itself because the outlets don't exist on manual transmission radiators? Maybe? |

Yeppers. I don't need those outlets at all, I have a manual transmission. That hose isn't the one leaking, and now I've moved on in troubleshooting. I think it's actually coming from the thermostat. :( But bro will fix it if it is. Glad to know I don't have to remove the whole thing again! Thanks! |
Leaking from the thermostat or water pump? Let's hope you have a hose leak instead. Have you identified what liquid is leaking? engine oil? engine coolant? power steering fliud? etc. |

Just thought I would share a piece of useful info. When I was a kid, I was out trail riding one day out by Cooking Lake. I rode out there a lot and ,of course, being by the lake, the bugs were horrendous. I had on shorts and green knee socks. For some reason the skeeters seemed to love my legs with the socks on. Long story short, I got eaten alive ! I couldn't find anything to sooth the itch so grabbed the only thing I could find in the house which was Absorbine Junior. It worked great! Many years later I was reading the back of the bottle and there in green and white it says: It is also an effective first aid antiseptic for relief of non -poisonous insect bites. Who knew?? Just thought I'd pass that on since the skeeters are so bad this year. I bought 2 new bottles the other day at Walmart!! :) Auuuuugggghhhh relief!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you crush Yarrow leaves or I guess more like fronds and rub that on a bite it will stop the itch. With the amount of mosquitoes we have right now it is impossible to keep up no matter what I use . |
You got that right Beegood.I keep my bathtub full of Deep Woods Off! |
Here's a great Cracked.com article about ways scientists are devising to destroy mosquitoes. I like the grapefruit extract one. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Die, Mosquitos, Die!
I look at it this way. If we can do without a vestigial organ like our appendix then why do we need mosquitoes? |

The food environment can be conceptualized as overlapping interactive domains that uniquely contribute influence for shaping child dietary behavior.
The food environment can be conceptualized as overlapping interactive domains composed of built and natural, sociocultural, political and economic, micro-level and macro-level environments. Each type and level of environment uniquely contributes influence through a mosaic of determinants depicting the food environment as a major setting for shaping child dietary behavior. Health is a multi-factorial state, with the food environment representing a substantial part of the full environmental context in which a child grows, develops, eats, and behaves. This symposium includes the home, school and community food environment's influence on health, with the aim of presenting an ecologically informed model for future research and intervention of the food environment.

The Color Run 5k
or …. the coolest, most awesome-est race I've ever wanted to run, ever. And I don't run .. unless there's a hot pizza at the end ;)
Hey there!!
Yesterday I was trolling my Pinterest feed, (which, let's face it – when am I not on Pinterest) and came across this innocent pin:
Source: thecolorrun.com via Emily on Pinterest
Hmmm, a "color run?" I'm intrigued. Off to the website I went.
YOU. GUYS. (!!!!!) This looks amazing! It's basically a 5k where a colored (non-toxic) powder is thrown on the runner/walkers at each kilometer mark. At the end there's a GIANT party and everyone is covered in colors! There's several of these races all over the country, with the nearest to me being in Chicago.
Here, the Color Run site says it better:
What is the Color Run?
The Color Run is a one of a kind experience that is less about speed and more about enjoying a color crazy day with your friends and family. Our events, are all about people of all different speeds, ages, shapes, and sizes toeing the start line. Whether you are a casual morning mall walker or an Olympic athlete, the 3 miles of the Color Run course will be the most enjoyable real estate you've traveled in a VERY long time.How does it work?
The Color Run pretty much has 2 SIMPLE rules. 1. White shirts (any mostly white T will work great) mandatory at the start line and 2. Color plastered EVERYTHING at the finish! Runner/walkers begin the 5k at the start line like a brand new pristine coloring book, they end looking like they fell into a Willy Wonka… tye died… vat of colored goodness.
Need more convincing? WATCH THIS VIDEO. I'm seriously ready to hit the streets NOW!!
(embedded from YouTube. If you can't see it, click through your reader.)
Am I the only one peeing my pants about this? :D I immediately emailed the website to Katie, told her to tell her sister that I'm requiring them to come (haha), and tweeted Brooke. I would really love to hit up the Chicago date (6/2). Maybe even go crazy at Ikea on the way home? If you're in the area … I'm not even kidding … LET ME KNOW! It would be an awesome time! I would love to get a HUGE group together of family, friends, friends-of-friends, kiddos (yes, they can come in strollers!), and just WHOEVER.
This, of course, means I have to start running. I haven't really run since my first 5k back in 2009. I previously used the Couch to 5k program, and absolutely loved (and hated) it. This colorful run might be just the thing to get me training again! I've already committed to the Fitbloggin 5k, so I might as well start earlier. :D
What do YOU think? Would you ever do a race like this? Am I crazy? haha!
In other quick news, my second week of Zumba started last night! I'm getting really into the hip-hop type moves. My instructor even visted the Fit and Free Facebook page to say Hi! Isn't that super nice? :) Love her. (Hi Elana!)
It was a great way to end an emotional day. Thanks for all the love yesterday, as always. I definitely have the best readers. <3

Valve has admitted it doesn't develop for PlayStation3 because Xbox 360 is just more straightforward.
"The PC and the 360 are just more straightforward," Valve design Tom Leonard said. "We can focus on what we want to do, which is make game experiences, instead of sweating bullets over obscure architectural decisions they make with their platform."
"I didn't come into this business in the 90s because of some technical fetish. I came in because I wanted to give people experiences that made them have fun."
Ouch. So if you want to know why Left 4 Dead 2 is a console exclusive for Xbox 360, there's your answer.
