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 Moses!
Facts about Moses
- Breed: Pug
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Moses's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Moses is a 3 year-old neutered male. He is a sweetheart! He is a mellow guy whose former owner was deployed and then transferred. Moses is fantastic with kids and other pets. He needs a family who will always be there for him as he's been bounced around a lot in his short life.
Other Pets at Greater Boise Pug Rescue & Placement Group, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Moses, a Eagle Pug dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pug for sale in Eagle, or seeking a Pug dog from a breeder in Eagle.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Eagle 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 Eagle 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 Pug breeders who help with Pug rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Eagle paves the way for another one to be saved.

Evelyn Napier appears again at Downton, and it's been a while since we've seen or heard from the man who introduced Mary to Mr. Pamuk. Evelyn tells Mary that he's sorry about "the whole ghastly business" -- meaning Matthew's death. But it feels like that speaks to the entirety of season 4.
Aside from everyone having to deal with the passing of the Crawley heir, it's been a rough few months in Yorkshire. Mary turned down Tony, and now he's engaged to Mabel Lane-Fox. Tom had his hands full with Edna, the horrid maid. (Thank heavens she's gone.) Thomas keeps being Thomas, having learned nothing from season 3, or life in general. Cousin Rose has absolutely nothing to do, even though she started this season, surprisingly, with some promise. The depressing love square between Daisy, Alfred, Ivy, and Jimmy continues to simmer in the kitchen. It looks like Edith has been jilted again, this time by Gregson. (Fine, I will start calling him by his real name. I still think he looks like Anthony Strallan.) Molesley can't catch a break. And then of course, there's Anna.
Anna's rape has colored these last three episodes, and in "Part Four," Mr. Bates finally finds out. Frustrated with his wife's inability to communicate with him -- and his conclusion that she no longer loves him -- Bates hatches a plan.
Bates catches Anna and Mrs. Hughes discussing the incident in the hall. He later tells Mrs. Hughes that he's tendering his resignation, since Anna hates him. Mrs. Hughes, faced with a difficult decision of betraying Anna's trust or letting Bates leave, confesses. Bates rightly guesses that it was Mr. Green, but the housekeeper swears on her mother's grave that it wasn't, saying that it was someone who had broken in to the house. Bates pretends to believe her.
Lord Grantham's valet then confronts his wife. He knows her secret. Anna feels both relieved and embarrassed. Bates assures her that he loves her now more than ever. He promises to put the rape in the past so they can move on with their lives. Anna does believe him.
But Bates has other ideas. At the end of the episode, he says to Mrs. Hughes that it's far from over. Uh oh, Bates. Hopefully he doesn't end up in prison again.
In lighter news, back to Evelyn's return. He's working for the government, researching the English estates and whether they are still viable after the war. Mary is glad to see him, and wants him and his boss to stay with them at Downton while they do their work.
When Edith finds out about Evelyn's presence, she's sorry she missed him. (Unfortunately, the much put-upon middle daughter was in London, at a doctor's office. I can't imagine what that means.) However, Mr. Napier's visit does lead to this cute exchange between Edith and her father.
"Is he still in pursuit of Mary?" Edith wonders.
"I didn't ask him," a perplexed Robert replies.
And in Robert is taking a turn for the better news, Lord Grantham helps the son of a long-time tenant farmer. Thomas Drew's father passed away, leaving Yew Tree Farm in debt, with the Crawleys planning to take over. Drew explains to Robert he had no idea about the financial issues, but still wants to stay to farm the land. Robert secretly offers Drew the 50 pounds to pay back the debt so that Mary and Tom will agree to let him stay. In past years, he probably would have just demanded that Mary and Tom let Drew stay without paying the money or giving his daughter or son-in-law any say in the matter. This time, he doesn't, and it as refreshing as the good deed he does by lending the money.
Meanwhile, to round out the rest of the story lines, Tom inexplicably wants to move to America and take baby Sybbie with him. Alfred gets accepted to test for the Ritz. With Daisy's tutelage in the kitchen, he sets off for London. He does well -- but he barely misses the cut. Cora has a new lady's maid, Baxter, who has ties to Thomas. Carson, thinking that Alfred will soon be gone, offers the footman job to Molesley, who takes his time deciding. Too much time, and once again, Molesley finds himself without a permanent place. Isobel pressures Violet to hire a local boy to work in her garden, and he may or may not have ended up stealing an expensive knife from the Dowager. Oh and the family is going to throw a party for Robert's birthday, with Rose taking charge. Maybe she will be Downton's resident party planner? At least it would be something for her character.

Nick's Friday Round-Up: Awesome Videos Edition
The first video today is Toy Story. I know you're asking, "Toy Story? What's so great about that?" My reply is, "This is the entire Toy Story movie, re-created, shot-for-shot, with real toys." Enjoy! [geekologie]
Next on the list, we have a live action, Sonic the Hedgehog fan-film. And to add that extra little bit of awesome, they got Jaleel White to voice Sonic. [howtogeek]
This is a stop motion video, in Minecraft, that shows the building of a house. Trust me, it's WAY more amazing than it sounds. If you're any kind of fan of Minecraft, you can appreciate all the work that went into making this video. Even using creative mode, this still would have taken an extremely long time. [howtogeek]
Making a snowman is always a fun thing to do during the winter, but how about destroying them? Here are 10 ways to destroy a snowman... in slow motion. [youtube]
Even the most simple tasks, like clipping your fingernails, becomes over complicated in outer space. [youtube]
In the past, I posted a picture of the TARDIS from Doctor Who mashed up to look like the DeLoreon from Back to the Future. Well it seems someone took that concept and made a short animated video of it. Doctor Who in the world of Back to the Future. [howtogeek]
And to end out the awesome videos, I have a Buffy/Twilight video mashup. Buffy meets Edward. Edward stalks Buffy. Buffy kills Edward. Sounds good to me! [blastr]
This ends our awesome videos section of the Round-Up. BUT WAIT! I still have a few more links for you.
Duck Hunt 2. Need I say more? Get to shooting those ducks! Also, the dog isn't as annoying. In fact, he's pretty cool this time around. [howtogeek]
If you happen to be visiting China, you should check out their new bootlegged World of Warcraft theme park, called Joyland World. Seems legit. [geekologie]
Speaking of World of Warcraft, it looks as if WoW players have broken the fundraising record for hurricane Sandy relief. Who said gamers are lazy and don't care about real life stuff. [geekosystem]
So.... Myspace is back and all rebooted and everything. [geekosystem]
There's now a possibility that we could get a live-action star wars series on ABC. Ya know... with Disney owning Star Wars and all that... [blastr]

St. Nick's Friday Round-Up: CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR Edition
And a follow up picture...
This picture could only be better if they dressed up another labrador as one of the Bumpus' dogs.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Well... almost. Just two more days. Are you excite? Hopefully I can throw some extra Christmas cheer your way with a completely Christmas themed Round-Up.
What Christmas would be complete without The Grinch? We've all seen it, and if you haven't... c'mon, srsly? Where the heck have you been for the past 45 years? You have absolutely no excuse! Go watch it right now, then you can come back and finish reading the rest of this. Consider yourself shunned. Now, for the rest of us, here are 7 things about The Grinch, that you might not know. SPOILER ALERT: His heart grew 3 sizes that day, kinda like Lisa's ego. [warmingglow]
When I say Minecraft, the first thing you think about is Christmas, right? No? Well this might help. Some Minecraft wrapping paper. Just make sure your presents are a perfect cube shape. [geekosystem]
Two more days until Christmas also means two more days until the Doctor Who Christmas episode! For those who can't wait, here are 9 new awesome, but 'spoilery', Doctor Who Christmas pics. [blastr]
Remember all those crazy ornaments you used to put on the tree from back when you were a kid. You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones you made in school. The seriously crappy and ugly ones that nobody would ever want on their tree except for your mom, and only because you made it. Well those ornaments don't even compare to the creepiness of these ones. 11 of the most unintentionally creeeeeeepy Christmas ornaments. [cracked]
Calvin and Hobbes, one of the best comics ever made, and every winter those two made some of the most awesomely creepy snowmen. A guy by the name of JimFrommeyer recreated some of these snowmen in a horrific snowman tribute video. [geekosystem]
Want a couple minutes of entertainment? Go to Google and search "let it snow" without the quotes, then sit back and enjoy. When it finishes, click and drag your mouse around the screen. =D If you don't want to take the extra effort to go to Google yourself, then fine... I'll do it for you. [google]
Poor Megatron keeps getting the same ol' thing for Christmas, but this Christmas just might be a little different. [youtube]
Consider these next two videos, my gift to you. Merry Christmas.
Video 1: People walking down steps and slipping on a frozen landing. So relaxing. [youtube]
Video 2: A snowman prank that goes terribly wrong. [youtube]
I bet you got through this entire post thinking to yourself, "There's no way he's gonna be able to link Skyrim with Christmas. Not a chance." Well, my friend, you would be completely WRONG! Yes, I have a Christmas related Skyrim link, and it's probably my most favorite one on this list. A guy by the name of Mitch has most epicly decked his halls (and by "halls" I mean "house") with a light show. Forget syncing your lights to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, that's so last 5 years. Mitch synced his house to the theme from Skyrim. SO awesome. [gammasquad]

Nick's Friday Round-Up: Let's Get Creative Edition
Poor Navi. She's only trying to help. =(
How are you my fellow gamers? This week has been pretty post-heavy on Save Point, which is a good thing. Now it's time for all the cool stuff we didn't tell you about. WOOHOO!
It's amazing how technology has become so intuitive that even a bearded dragon, on his basic instincts alone, can play a video game. Dare i say this would be the first bearded dragon to ever play a video game, and probably better than you. [geekosystem]
As a kid, I grew up with LEGO's. To be honest, I wasn't that great at building anything fancier than a house. I mean, you have the green, rectangular base, and you build on top of that, but you couldn't really build anything that wasn't some kind of boxy (not boxxy) looking vehicle, or anything outside the shape of a rectangle. Well guess what. One guy said, "Screw that!" and started making circles and wheels and all kinds of amazing shapes. [brickbending]
Speaking of awesome toys growing up. Let's take a trip down nostalgia lane, with the 90's kid's Christmas list. I can personally that say I owned 10 things on this list at one point. Except, where the heck are the slap bracelets? Oh yeah... they got banned from schools. -_- LAAAMMMEEE!! [buzzfeed]
Last week it snowed in my neck of the woods. The day after it snowed, I decided to try to make a snowman... with lack-luster results. And by "lack-luster results" I mean "I couldn't do it". To my defense, the snow was too fluffy and wouldn't stick together. NEXT TIME, SNOW.... NEXT TIME! I'm guessing the people who created these snowmen knew exactly what type of snow is needed to make these amazing works of nerd art. [gammasquad]
Awesome snowmen isn't where the Christmas creativity ends, not by a long shot. How about taking gingerbread and turning it into an AT-AT. Yeah that's right, or Serenity, the fastest ship in the verse. Take a look at 20 awesome sci-fi gingerbread creations. [blastr]
Remember back in elementary school, around Christmas time, your teacher would sit everybody down and have you all make snowflakes out of folded paper? Remember how yours always turned out looking like Fido got a hold of it? Wouldn't it be nice to go back in time and create super 1337 Star Wars snowflakes, pwning all the other 6 year-olds, and shoving your sick snowflake-making skills in their faces? Yeah... that WOULD be nice. Sadly, without a TARDIS or a DeLorian this isn't possible, but you can take satisfaction in knowing that at least you can learn how to make such awesomeness now. Star Wars Snowflakes. [anthonyherreradesigns]
Darth Vader, using the force, to create a Christmas choir flash mob. Yes, this happened. My only complaint... needs moar Darth Vader ripping on the electric guitar. [buzzfeed]
Speaking of Darth Vader, why not combine two of the most evil sci-fi villains and mash them up into a bust (not that kind of bust, you pervs) of pure awesomazingness. I present to you, Skelvader! Or is it Darthetor? hmmm... [geekologie]
MIND BLOWN OF THE DAY: A team of guys at MIT have created an imaging system a.k.a. fancy camera, that records 1,000,000,000,000 (that's one trillion) frames per second. As a result it's able to record the speed of light. THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS, you can watch light as it moves toward an object to illuminate it. [gammasquad]
What Friday Round-Up would be complete without some Skyrim links? You knew it was coming. How about a Dragonborn helmet made out of bacon. [geekosystem]
A guy by the name of Benjamin S. has created a mod for the PC version of Skyrim, that let's you speak dragon shouts into your microphone, allowing you to cast them in the game. It has a bit of lag between saying it, and when it happens, but it's still quicker then going into your inventory and selecting different shouts. [geekologie]
To finish up, I'll leave you with a cockatiel whistling the Mario theme song. [geekologie] Ok, cockatiel, now do the theme from Zelda...

Steampunk Unloaded, Uploaded, Reloaded, Remixed, Cooked, Stuffed, and Codified
Recently, as co-editor of Steampunk Reloaded, I participated in a Salon Futura podcast about Steampunk with writers Karin Lowachee and Lavie Tidhar, conducted by Cheryl Morgan. We talked about everything from ideas of empire in the subgenre to some of the subtleties of colonialism, as well as mad scientists, balancing fun and reality, and one segment on Naughty Stuff. In a nice bit of coincidental timing, as part of the extra-content push for Steampunk Reloaded, Beyond Victoriana and Tachyon Publishing also posted some Brazilian/Portuguese Steampunk in translation. Links:
--Vaporpunk translations on Beyond Victoriana
--Jacques Barcia's "A Life Made Possible Behind the Barricades" (PG-13)
Ever since 2008 when this NYT article appeared, Steampunk has hit critical mass. It's everywhere, sometimes so ubiquitous that it causes either intense bliss or intense annoyance, depending on your tastes. What is Steampunk? Modern steampunk fiction, a type of Victorian-era alternate history fiction or retro-futurism, derives at least in part from the influence of works by Jules Verne and H. G. Wells in the 1800s and early twentieth century that featured steam-powered inventions, airships, and (sometimes) mad inventors. These books tended to be somewhat cautionary in nature, with a healthy unwillingness to accept "progress" as always inevitable and good. Wells' work also commented on the nature of empire, even postulating an attack on New York in The War in the Air, typifying the U.S. in this way: "cheered the flag by habit and tradition, they despised other nations, and whenever there was an international difficulty they were intensely patriotic, that is to say, they were ardently against any native politician who did not say, threaten, and do harsh and uncompromising things to the antagonist people."
More than eighty years later, Michael Moorcock's warlords of the air series, which was deeply critical of the British Empire, as a way of commenting on the rising American empire, made him the godfather of Steampunk. However, K.W. Jeter coined the term "steampunk" in a letter to Locus Magazine in 1987, and he, along with Tim Powers and James Blaylock are credited with being the first wave of steampunk writers. They were hugely influenced by Henry Mayhew's book London Labour and the London Poor. They were quickly followed by Gibson and Sterling with The Difference Engine in 1990. The subculture first rose in the 1990s, and has branched out into fashion, movies, comcs, making/DIY, art, and more. It is such a sprawling community at this point, with outposts in South America, continental Europe, and beyond, that it can't be said to be just one thing at this point.
Perhaps in part because of this lack of a center, this year has brought its share of controversy within the fantasy/science fiction community, with Mobylives providing many more of the relevant links. It's perhaps ironic that at a time when multiculturalism is beginning to enter Steampunk in significant ways, as in SF/Fantasy in general, some are expressing reservations about escapism in Steampunk that seem more about a received idea of the genre from the past or a larger issue of escapism in commercial fiction generally than a true vision of what's happening at street level these days.
What is happening? Well, Beyond Victoriana and Silver Goggles are providing interesting multicultural viewpoints about Steampunk, SteamPunk Magazine continues to move along a progressive/ DIY/ anarchist axis, creators like Jake von Slatt bring a devotion to the ideals of Victorians like John Ruskin, who abhorred industrialization, and authors like Ekaterina Sedia and Karin Lowachee are infusing Steampunk with feminist and non-white points of view. Novels like Aurorarama and The Dream of Perpetual Motion are using Steampunk trappings for aesthetic experiments that infuse retrofuturism with reimagined influence from Wells/Verne mixed with sources outside the subgenre like Shakespeare and Nabokov.
Even the commercial success of Cherie Priest isn't based on "escapism" as properly defined, in that her novels feature strong female characters and don't gloss over the iniquities of history. Indeed, the anthology Steampunk Reloaded, edited by my wife Ann and me, features a fairly even mix of male and female writers, a lot of stories turning a critical eye toward Victorian-era ideas, and featuring much more fiction that isn't set in England or the United States. That anthology focused on the last ten years; in another five years, such an anthology would have an even more diverse contributor list.
There's also the importance of recognizing and reclaiming unusual works that pre-date the current craze. One such is Tobias Buckell's first novel Crystal Rain (2005), recently reviewed on Beyond Victoriana. Said Buckell about Crystal Rain, a title which may be unfamiliar to many Steampunk readers: "One of the cool things about getting to write a first novel was that I finally had a massive canvas to play on. So I right away set about creating what I called a 'Caribbean Steampunk Novel.'...While I loved the genre, like most things SF-nal, I bounced off of a lot of the pro-colonialist imagery and aesthetic, so I tried to synthesize something wholly different in Crystal Rain. Caribbean airships, Aztec airships, people of various backgrounds. Steam-powered trains, and of course, the steam-powered ship that converts into the mother of all snowmobiles later in the book. Brass and rifles and jungle, mysterious underground sewers in the urban landscapes. The world of Nanagada was built from the ground up to let me play with my own Caribbean flavored steampunk aesthetic, but without the trappings I found problematic."
Next year, the Steampunk Bible co-written with S.J. Chambers, will attempt to give a comprehensive overview of the entire scene. In the meantime, Steampunk hopefully will continue to change in interesting ways and the blogosphere will continue to argue about what parts are good or bad, and what it all means. As I said in the Salon Futura podcast, for Steampunk not to stagnate its commercial success has to "open up possibilities for lots of strange and interesting stuff to be published under that term," with "more and more emphasis on "international and multicultural steampunk."

Help your roleplay character along with a character questionnaire {WoW}

Help your roleplay character along with a character questionnaire {WoW}
Feb 28th 2012 7:50AM Not meaning to be funny or anything, Marcosius, but the questionnaire is more aimed at people who DO want to put a lot of time into, say, one roleplay character. I have loads and loads of RP alts - far more than ten! - and wouldn't do this for every single one of them. I have a far shorter list of questions I ask myself for most of my characters but this longer list is nice for when I do want to go into a lot more detail about my 'RP main'.
If you wanted to trim the list right down, you could pare it down to four questions, maybe less. Here's the four I've picked.
1. Family. Who were they, what happened to them, what does your character think of them? Doesn't need to be a big, sprawling family tree, it can be as short as 'my parents are simple farmers and we get on well. I go to visit them whenever I have time.'
2. Hobbies. Pick one, if you want. 'My warrior likes going out drinking with his mates when he's off-duty.'
3. Character class or job. Why is your character a mage/baker/weasel juggler. 'My parents were bakers and I took over running the family business when my father grew old.'
4. Motivations and goals. These don't need to be 'I want to save the world!' type. 'I keep setting my beard on fire when I cast fire spells, I'd like to get better at pyromancy so that doesn't happen.' 'I'd like to earn enough money to start a family and retire in comfort.'
You can cut it down to a few short one-line responses that provide the bare bones for a roleplaying character. This is what I do for my minor RP characters. If you wanted to just take it down to one or two, you could go with 'motivations and goals' to decide what mainly drives your character and pick another one as you wish to flesh them out a little more.
Breakfast Topic: Which race has the best starting zone? {WoW}
Feb 27th 2012 12:39PM Pre-Cataclysm it was the Forsaken starting zone for me, no question. I loved how I really had the feeling of a race of cursed outcasts, struggling for resources and survival and questioning their place in the world. I found some of the quests touching in an odd way, such as the one to retrieve that Scourged man's remains and bury them at his wife's grave. I always did the quests to bring that Gunther Arcanus guy into the Forsaken and it was strangely heartwarming to see him talking to his old friend Bethor at the end of the chain. Even if I did have to run all over the place. The Scourge and Scarlets felt like a real threat which made all the quests to eliminate them feel that much more important.
Old Tirisfal also led into old Silverpine quite well. It's not a starting zone but I liked the Fenris Isle chain, which carried on from where Tirisfal had left off. The Rot Hide gnolls were part of a story arc that spanned two zones and culminated in taking out a powerful agent of the Scourge. I liked that sort of storytelling. (Didn't like being ganked by Sons of Arugal as much, but hey.) The new Silverpine isn't bad, don't get me wrong, but the way it starts off with 'So you killed those Scarlets, good job, now go invade Gilneas' was a bit jarring.
After Cataclysm? I'm not so sure. I dislike the way Cataclysm quest chains railroad you nowadays. Didn't rescue the old lady's kitty from a tree in the last zone? Tough, now you can't quest in this one. Didn't rescue bunnies in Hyjal? Unlucky, Mr. Warlock, you'd better go get rescuing those fuzzy animals or no quests for you. Much as I like Gilneas as a zone, I loathe being stuck there for the entire thing.
The blood elf zone was a serious contender for the position of favourite back in BC, so my current favourite comes down to Eversong or the death knight starting zone. I like the way the former keeps its old feel and lets me do what I feel like, then leads right into the Ghostlands. I like the way the latter sticks you right in the action with some great quests, then gives the whole 'thou art the Chosen Hero!' thing a kick in the family jewels right at the end.
The OverAchiever: Guide to Lunar Festival 2012 achievements {WoW}
Jan 24th 2012 7:37AM I had the same problem at level 75. Ended up running in and ice blocking next to the NPC, grabbing the quest, then dying. I guess you could have a paladin pre-Hand of Protection you if you don't have any abilities that grant you immunity to damage. Sneaking into Darnassus was cake by comparison.
Breakfast Topic: What moments in WoW would you like to relive? {WoW}
Dec 3rd 2011 2:12PM That old quest chain in the Western Plaguelands, where you helped Tirion Fordring - that quest chain was epic and even had the die-hard Horde player I was then starting to really like paladins. It began with helping out some old hermit living in a shack by the river, gathering food and killing bats and plaguehounds. Then, when you returned, having completed your tasks, it turned out that he was testing you. Seeing if you would help an old man when most would not. I took an instant liking to that guy.
The following quest chain sent me all over the Plaguelands - to the depths of Stratholme, to Northdale, to a graveyard where a bunch of grave robbers kicked my squishy clothie backside into next week until two passing Tauren stopped to help me out. Finally, I marched into Hearthglen, disguised as a Scarlet Crusader, to bring Taelan his father's gift. The follow-up to that said I was to escort Taelan out of Hearthglen. He escorted me. Watching him go absolutely mental on a bunch of Crusaders was just amazing. I played a Forsaken character at the time and had hated those guys since level 5 or thereabouts.
When Isillien killed him, it felt such a blow. I'd become so emotionally invested in the entire chain that I was quite moved by it all, not least because we'd been just so close to succeeding. I didn't care that I'd also been killed by rampaging elites. I lay there, dead on the ground, and cheered Tirion on as he came up the road and avenged his son's death, opening up a can of whoopass on the bad guys before swearing his death wouldn't be in vain. The reward from the quest was nothing. Well, it was nice, but I'd have gladly gone through it all again for no reward at all. Since then, Tirion has been one of my favourite characters in the setting.
I miss that sort of quest chain. I miss the level 50 class quests and I fondly look back on using the reward from that even at level 60. Blizzard made a lot of good changes since Vanilla, but I wish they would do that sort of thing again. Instead of blasting through the same old heroics over and over to gear up new characters, , instead of us grinding out points and trying not to fall asleep, why not have us complete a long class quest to give us a weapon or piece of armour we'll use for a while? Maybe a quest chain that helps teach you the mechanics of your class would mean we had fewer clueless players in the dungeon finder. I was so disappointed to take my paladin through SFK for the class quest in Cata and receive a drop that was better than the quest reward. I said 'Oh' and took the healing mace for off-spec. And that was it. I was sent to a dungeon to retrieve rare materials for a weapon that I'd replaced before I even got it in the first place!

What is the difference/advantage/disadvantage between a one piece and two piece toilet? We are looking a Toto and don't know which way to go. Does one flush better than the other? Clog less? Or is it simply a matter of style?
This is for my teen aged son's bathroom and will only be used by him though he does sometimes tend to use lots of toilet paper. We have to have rounded bowl because of limited space. Any advice and suggestions on which model works well will be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's basically a style thing; a one-piece has a little cleaner line without the break between tank and bowl. The one piece can be a little easier to clean, since there isn't that area between bowl and tank just doesn't exist on a one-piece. A two piece has the potential to develop a leak between the tank and bowl, although this is rare, of course. The actual flush on similar one- and two-piece Toto's will be virtually identical. My first experience with Toto has been the Carlyle II. In addition to being one piece, it is one of the models which is skirted. (Skirted toilets have a smooth exterior without the normal exposed trapway, which makes the toilet exterior significantly easier to clean.) -- Eric |
Eric, Thanks for the info. The Carlyle II is a nice looking product but we have to have rounded, which limits our options. I think we'll take a walk on the wild side and order a one piece and hope for the best! |
...and from the herniated disc perspective, a two-piece can be easier to transport and install. |
I echo what mongoct said. As a DIYer who works solo, two piece toilets are much easier to carry - especially if the bathroom is on the second floor. Recently I installed a Toto Vespin II. The bowl weighs about 75lbs and the tank about 25. A one piece is also bigger and more awkward to carry, especially through doorways. |
Barb, are you certain you need the round bowl? The difference in depth is only about 1.5" on two Toto models I just looked at. Will that space make enough of a difference that you have to give up the elongated bowl? You definitely limit your choices of available models going with a round bowl. Also, for a teenage son's bathroom, I'll just say that most men will greatly prefer the elongated bowl shape. Having had one rounded bowl toilet, it can feel a little, um, cramped when sitting to do your business. And with a teenager who may not be as, um, careful, well, you might like the elongated bowl better, too! Okay, 'nuff said about that! Good point, Mongo. A two piece toilet does come in two separate pieces, which makes it easier to carry around if you're doing this yourself. Also, I should note that if you're doing it yourself, some Toto toilets which come with what they call a Uni Fit rough-in are a bit more complicated to install than conventional toilet. If you have a tile floor, there's some drilling through the tile needed. If you're having a contractor do the work, then you don't need to worry about moving the one-piece (sorry, Mongo and other pros!) or the extra work with installation; if you're doing it yourself, then just be aware that there's a little more to it than a conventional toilet if you get one of the Toto's with their Uni Fit rough-in. -- Eric |

barb7901: "We have to have rounded bowl because of limited space." If space is the issue, then look at the actual dimensions rather than at the shape of the bowl. In most Toto models (getting back to the topic line), the one-piece toilets stick out further from the wall than the equivalent two-piece toilets. Although we are considering only elongated bowl toilets for our (cramped) powder room renonation, we found in comparing dimensions that the Caroma Bondi was three inches deeper (31+ inches vs. 28+ inches) than the Toto Vespin II. Nothing beats comparing actual specs. |
Thanks to everyone who responded. You've brought up some great points. jacobse-yes we need a rounded bowl. The toilet sits right in front of the bathroom door and the bathroom is only 51 inches wide and the door is 24 inches. We've measured and drawn lines and from the center of the drain pipe to where the door would hit and it's slightly less than 19 inches. I'll take a look again at some of the choices for elongated bowl (which we would prefer) but that seems to be cutting it close. My son is somewhat germ-phobic and, well, sits when he does all his business, if you know what I mean. So he's very neat about it. mongoct-we are DIYers and when I mentioned the weight to my husband, we decided to go with 2 piece for easier installation. Now I just have to pick one out. |
- Posted by staceyneil (My Page) on Thu, Nov 25, 10 at 8:06
For what it's worth, there ARE some "compact elongated" toilets. We used a toto Aquia III in our master bath and it is only 27.5" from the wall. The American Standard Cadet III is 28.5". |

Current Election Process Prevents Hispanics and Other Minority Groups from Attaining Higher Office Positions According the Recent Color of Money Report Regarding Campaign Financing
January 14, 2004
Long time advocate for clean elections, Assemblyman Felix W. Ortiz (D-51st) is pushing for campaign finance reform. Assemblyman Ortiz has been at the forefront of the "Clean Money, Clean Election" legislation since he first introduced it in 1997. The release of the "Color of Money" report shows that Hispanic and other minority communities are disenfranchised when the majority of campaign contributions come from wealthy neighborhoods and predominately white communities. As a result, the needs of the donors are met while the needs of low income and minority neighborhoods are overlooked and ignored especially with regards to education, healthcare and environmental issues. "Many citizens are very upset and frustrated by this system and have initiated a strong movement in support of campaign finance reform," said Ortiz.
In addition to minority communities and low-income neighborhoods as a whole, individuals from those neighborhoods face many challenges when they choose to run for higher office positions. Assemblyman Ortiz has a distinct understanding of the difficulties faced by those candidates who lack the funding to mount a competitive political campaign. As a young candidate, Ortiz started his own grassroots campaign, going door to door collecting $1 from those individuals in his community to support his run for the NYS Assembly. He is working hard towards easing the process for others, especially Hispanic and other minority groups along with underrepresented Caucasians. These groups face a disadvantage under the current election process because they are unable to financially compete with candidates who are supported by personal fortunes or "Big Business" contributions.
The proposed legislation would grant a fixed and equal amount of public financing to candidates who voluntarily agree to limit campaign spending and collect a minimum amount of $5 contributions from registered voters in their election district. The bill would also require more frequent reporting of campaign contributions.
Assemblyman Ortiz stated that "campaign finance reform has been a real issue of concern. Many citizens feel that the current system demeans the definition of democracy and has a damaging influence on the political process." The election process not only prevents the Hispanic and other minority groups from being heard, it also prevents those in minority groups seeking to run for higher office positions. Currently, Arizona, Maine, North Carolina, New Mexico, and Vermont have implemented the "Clean Money, Clean Elections" approach into law. Now it's time for New York to move forward with this issue.

Acer Iconia Tab A500 Price: $579Contact: www.acer.com.au
Star rating:
Acer has come out in force to tackle the fast-growing tablet market. The Iconia range consists of four tablet models, two of which boast the long-awaited tablet-specific Android version 3.0, codenamed Honeycomb. Our hands-on experience with the very stylish-looking 10inch model, called the A500, shows it has great potential.
The Iconia range includes the 7inch Android-based A100 ($499) and two Windows-based units – the 10inch W500 ($899) and the 14inch dual-screen Iconia Touch-book ($2499). All are intended to take advantage of portable social networking, email, instant messaging, photos, music, videos, chat and the web.
Bookseller Dymocks, has taken on the Iconia Tab A500 version as it's preferred eBook reader, selling the A500 with a Dymocks eBook app for Android to allow users to buy and read books from Dymocks 200,000-strong eBook range directly on the tablet.
Priced to compete with Apple's iPad 2, the Iconia A500 is similar in its 16GB, Wi-Fi-only specs. It's slightly bulkier and heavier than its Apple counterpart. Despite its dual-core 1GHz Tegra processor and 1GB of RAM, it's also slower. In general use the Iconia A500 still feels a little sluggish compared to the zippy iPad 2. There is noticeable jerkiness in scrolling web pages. The iPad 2, with half the RAM, scrolls smoothly.
The 1280 x 800 pixel screen is both longer and narrower than the iPad. The 16:9 aspect ratio is fine for viewing widescreen 720p movies, but is a little narrow for portrait use when browsing. The capacitive touchscreen is very responsive but has a distinctly blue cast which is quite noticeable when put side-by-side with the iPad and leaves the A500's colour looking a bit washed out.
Physically, the A500 feels very solid and the rounded edges and brushed aluminium rear make it pleasing to hold, but it still feels a little hefty. Even though it weighs only 700g (about 100g more than the iPad 2) you'll probably still want a cushion behind it when laying down and reading in bed, which is true of most tablets. However, it's still light enough to carry around constantly, which is an advantage that tablets have over most laptops. The front panel of the A500 is minimalist, with no buttons at all – they're all located at the sides. Holding it in landscape mode, the proprietary docking port is under the bottom edge; on the right side edge is a USB port and micro-USB, reset button and AC adapter port. On the left is the power button, headphone port and mini-HDMI port. The top-left edge holds the volume rocker and rotation lock switch, plus a panel hiding a microSD card slot that takes up to 32GB. The A500 comes with a microUSB-to-USB cable, but while the inclusion of a mini-HDMI port is welcome, for mirroring the screen to a HDTV, an adapter is not supplied.
The A500 includes Dolby Mobile support. The speakers produce reasonable volume but because they're positioned on the back, facing away from you, laying the A500 down on a table or on your lap will, of course, muffle the sound.Like the iPad, the battery isn't user-replaceable. Battery is life is claimed to be up to 10 hours. Actual results will vary, of course, depending on the type of usage.The front-facing camera, positioned in the top-left corner, is 2 megapixel (MP) and the rear is 5Mp and has an LED flash. We found using the Skype app over Wi-Fi was disappointing though. Voices sounded quite indistinct, making conversation difficult, and the recipient also had problems viewing our video. It's difficult to tell if this is entirely the tablet's fault or partly the Android version of the Skype app.
Which brings us to another point, it's early days yet for Android on tablets and especially for Honeycomb-specific apps. Honeycomb is the first tablet-specific version of Android and many improvements are slated for the next version, codenamed Ice-cream, later this year. As it is, Honeycomb needs work on being more intuitive. For example, it was difficult to find out how to close down apps running in the background. A Task Manager can be found under a Settings sub-menu but this mixes system services with user apps and can lead to accidentally closing a critical process.

Send the right search signals with social content optimization
A few weeks ago, I was honored to give a presentation to Heather Lloyd-Martin's SEO Copywriting Certification students and grads on optimizing content for social sharing. During the presentation, I covered two main points:
Why optimizing for social media is important.
Why the structure of your "blurb" (text you share when you post or tweet) makes a difference.
Afterwards, I received two questions via email from conference call attendees:
Could you explain "Open Graph" protocol?
How do you track social shares in Google Analytics?

CoffeeShop Box in Box Storyboard Template!
Because of your generous donations and support of my affiliates I am able to keep everything free at CoffeeShop. If I were back working in a science research lab I wouldn't have the time or energy to play. :-) So thanks for keeping me at home with the boys on my computer playing and out of the windowless sometimes dangerous lab!!!
Here is a new CoffeeShop Storyboard template, CoffeeShop Box in Box. This is a 12x12, 300 dpi psd template (you must open it in Photoshop Elements or Photoshop) that has clipping masks (please read my tutorial here if you don't know to use them, they are EASY!). I did not include a jpg with this zipped file as it would not work well with this type of storyboard.
The small images have frames (they are on their own layer and named "frames") and you can select them with the magic wand to change their color from white to something matching your images or delete them. Make sure you drag your photos ABOVE the clipping mask and not the frame layer before grouping. And if you can't see your image after grouping it with your clipping mask, simply Ctrl-T (free transform) and you will see where your image went and hid and you can move it and adjust it to size. You can also fill the little boxes with colors and text instead of images if you like. Don't forget, you can also Image, Rotate, Flip horizontally to have the little boxes on the left instead of the right!
I have a more actions, presets, storyboards, and tutorials heading your way this July. And thanks for all of your kind comments and generous donations!

The plant is fine, do not fiddle with it in any way. It is a warm growing hard-cane dendrobium that needs warmth, moderate humidity and good light throughout the year to do well. It is also capable of reblooming from the older pseudobulbs/canes at the appropriate season. Reduce watering a little as your growing conditions cool down a little in late autumn/winter. Find some complete culture notes on the net that relate to your climate zone. There seem to many orchids with names such as Salaya this is or that that are not the RHS registerof orchid names. |

Excellent. It's always a bit more humid than the norm in here because my FI prefers that. I also like it warm (around 70) and it will be in a South window. Just have to find a spot that will be bright enough without burning it somehow. I can also take it to work, I have fluorescent lighting under my cabinets at my desk. |
- Posted by MojaveLove 5 - IL (My Page) on Sat, Apr 23, 11 at 21:28
By the way what do you think about those spots? |
! wouldn't worry about them, they are scar tissue from a fungus infection which will not increase provided you can provide good growing conditions for the plant. Maybe a squirt or two of fungicide might assist...hopefully you will get better advice from the locals. The big problem with those hard- canes here is that homes are not centrally heated and if the plants get cold and wet they drop buds especially so since peak blooming is late autumn/winter. Similar problems with them in one of my glass=houses, High humidity at night together with cool temperatures will cause bud drop. I have some in bloom to on-sell for the local orchid society at the autumn show, they are inside on the kitchen windowsill. |

It appears to be potted in a plastic nursery pot (which drains) and set into a ceramic cachepot (which doesn't). Drainage and air = good Sitting in stale water = lethal Cheers - Nancy |
That's a spectacular hybrid. It doesn't look like a typical Denphal to me. I think it has a lot of D.nobile in it, though the flower is not like nobile's. Make sure this gets plenty of sun in Illinois esp during the winter. Otherwise the rest of the advice is spot on. - Ian. |
- Posted by MojaveLove 5 - IL (My Page) on Sun, Apr 24, 11 at 17:05
Thanks everyone :) Nancy - you're right, the plastic nursery pot drains well, but that ceramic pot is an orchid pot I bought separately. I'm just having it sit in there like that until it needs to be repotted and then it will go into the green ceramic pot. Ian - I agree after looking at Den phal pictures and descriptions, the flower on mine didn't quite match. It is smaller than they tend to be for example. I'll have to look into the nobile types to see! |
NOT a nobile type. Those bloom up and down the cane. Also not a phal type. Those have multiple leaves per pbulb, and this consistently only has two. From what I can find, it's most likely a combination of Phal type and Latouria type. The widened lateral petals give it away. See the following. |

Grammy award-winning singer Adele Adkins and her boyfriend Simon Konecki shared some special news with her fans yesterday - the singer is pregnant.
In a statement released Friday on her website, the 24-year-old singer revealed, "I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together."
She continued, "I wanted you to hear the news directly from me, obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time."
The 'Rolling in the Deep' singer and her boyfriend came out as a couple in January 2012, when she was photographed in London with the 38-year-old divorced father and CEO of Drop4Drop charity.
During a February 2012 interview, the singer revealed a very specific goal ... she wants to have three sons by the age of 30.

The Sevillian
Bourbon-spiked iced tea is made all the more refreshing with a splash of fresh mint syrup.
2 oz. bourbon
1 oz. Seville orange marmalade (regular orange marmalade will work, just avoid overly sweet brands)
1/2 oz. mint syrup
4 oz. brewed iced tea (Patton-Bragg uses Luzianne)
Tools: shaker
Glass: Collins
Garnish: fresh mint sprig
Combine all ingredients and dry shake. Pour without straining into an ice-filled glass and garnish.
For the Mint Syrup: Combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, and while the syrup is warm, but not hot add 1/4 cup fresh, packed mint leaves and let it steep until leaves darken, about 15 minutes. Strain into a clean jar, cover and keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

UK Bad Boy Steevi Jaimz to release "My Private Hell"
Former Tigertailz frontman Steevi Jaimz center.
STEEVI JAIMZ has just signed a new management deal with Rock-it management, who also handle Norwegian glamsters WIG WAM!
We are very happy to announce that we can now concentrate on the release and promotion of the new record tentatively titled MY PRIVATE HELL.
The new record is in the final stages of recording and will be mixed at the end of the month at Polar Studios Stockholm, Sweden (Abba, Led Zeppelin, Scorpions). It will be mixed and produced by the now legendary Chris Laney.
I'm really excited about the album. People will finally get to hear what myself, Chris Laney and Anders Ringman have been working on for the last coupla' years. All but one of the tunes on the record are collaborations with Chris and Anders. The other being a Laney/Ryan Roxie (Alice Cooper, Slash's Snakepit) written tune.
Lack of industry support has continued to delay the release of this composition, but with the support of Rock It Management, I am now in a position to unleash MY PRIVATE HELL to a wealth of anticipating fans around the Summer of 2008.
I am very proud of the work we have produced, so far, to this CD. It is by far the best material I have ever been involved with or released, period! Its a Fukkin' Monster!!

Hi Gang,
I have seeds from Crinum bulbispermum Jumbo hybrids from Marcelle Sheppard. Marcelle has provided hundreds of Crinum Jumbo seeds for free to anyone willing to send a $4.05 Priority Mail stamp and a return label. The deal is this; if you send a Priority Mail stamp ($4.05) and a return label, I'll send you the seeds anywhere in the continental USA. There is no markup or profit made by Marcelle or by me. If you are in other areas of the world perhaps I can send the seeds, but write to me first at my email address. Maybe I can send the, or maybe not; sometimes sending seeds to other countries is a problem. I'll send you 15-20 mixed Jumbo seeds from Marcelle's garden. She's happy to share them and. Don't send cash; just send: 1) the $4.05 stamp, and 2) the return address label. Write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com (Conroe Joe) to make sure I still have seeds, but I have at least 400 seeds to give away. As you may know, the Jumbos are derived from a complex hybrid line produced by Mr. Les Hannibal. He forwarded select plants to Marcelle 20-25 years ago and since then she has culled the progeny, keeping only those plants with the best colors, rebloom, and substance, etc. Each year she allows them to interbreed in her garden and this year has a bumper crop of seeds. The basic info page for the C. bulbispermum Jumbos is at:
Remember: If you want seeds, please write to me off-list: firstname.lastname@example.com (Conroe Joe). They are free of charge, but you'll have to send a Priority Mail stamp and a return-address label (Yup, I'm to lazy to write out dozens of labels). They are easy to grow out, and bloom in 3-4 years if all goes well. They are exceptional plants for the Gulf Coast, the middle South, the southeastern USA states, and Florida. With a bit of protection when young they are happy in USDA zone 8. Anecdotal repots indicate that C. bulsipermum-type hybrids can do OK in USDA Climate Zone 7 if provided with the conditions that they want (mulch in winter, sunny winer location). Cordially, Joe

Are you a Fit Mom? Do you want to be a Fit Mom? This page is for you! We want to help you get healthy and fit. We'll have tips for eating right, exercising, and much more to help you become the best fit mom you can be!
If you have questions or want to know more, fill out the form on the left sidebar and we'll do our best to find the answer for you.
My name is Marissa and I am a single mom to two wonderful children, Riley who will be 9 in November and Lili who just turned 5. Nutrition and fitness became my passions when I lost a total of 85 lbs after having both my children. I had been fit all of my life until I got pregnant. Poor eating and lack of exercise not only put unwanted fat on my body but also messed up my thyroid resulting in hypothyroidism.
In 2009 I decided enough was enough and I started training for the Wisconsin State Bodybuilding and Figure Competition (where we used to live). I placed 5th in my class out of 8 girls and made it a point to reach out and help other women get their bodies back through proper nutrition and exercise. I truly feel that besides being a mother, my calling is helping and teaching others how to live a healthy and FIT life!!

You have social commitments that you prefer to avoid as friendly Venus struggles with cranky Saturn in your 11th House of Community. Unfortunately, you still must deliver on previous promises, even if you want to just lay low and fly under the radar. It may be easier to rationalize attending a function if you consider it to be business-related. Push through your own resistance and join the human race; you might end up having more fun than you anticipated. Fake it until you make it.

Author EZCreepin (2 years) And really, there is so much music today that you cant really say who's better than who, and it wouldnt be fair to the musicians anyway. If you get a jazz drummer and a metal drummer together to do a drum off, you're gonna find diverse tendencies between the two players and 100% of the time (or at least it should be) people cant decide who's better than who.

Author whateverman666 (2 years) I've often thought Neil was 3 years behind the curve in terms of technique. Right around the time the crazy jazz & fusion players were going Moeller, Neil was doing what I was doing (but SOOOO much better): making his matched grip as relaxed as possible. If he had a few more years to discover how to make the stick work for him, Rush would have been a different band. He's still damned amazing, and I wish I could buy that man as much scotch as his influence on me represents. Author Dancing Spiderman (2 years) MoFreekinFo. Author UselessShyte (1 year) its a hard song. Any drummer knows that. If you say its an easy song to play, you simply aren't telling the truth. Musicians like Neil Peart are so far out in front of the rest of us that it is, in my opinion, and INSULT for any of us to even attempt to critique his playing. Author Dwayne Talkington (2 years) I've seen many percussionist and drummers live. When I saw Rush the last time Neil did a solo that was simply amazing and was playing half of it with one arm while change sounds on electric drum pads. That alone was impressive but then doing that with strobe lights and the drum kit on a turn table spinning around. Just simply amazing. I've also seen him do a jazz set with a 5 piece set and still sound just as amazing with a use of different sticks and brushes and even his hands.

It sounded *like* Tom Sawyer, but it really wasn't. I got a little more sophisticated with my playing and picked up the killer voicings he uses for those chords and that made all the difference. Though I'm not a drummer, I can still hear the nuances in the drumming. The basic beat isn't tough, but getting all those extra nuances in there is what makes it shine.

There has been a recent outbreak of pertussis, a disease also commonly known as whooping cough, around the country. In the state of WA there have been 58 infants less than 1 year of age diagnosed with whooping cough; among these cases, 22 were hospitalized and 2 have died.

In infants and children, the disease usually begins with runny nose, low grade fever, and mild cough that last for about 7-10 days. The cough usually worsens and infants may develop bursts of numerous rapid coughs. These bursts of cough are accompanied by sweating, facial flushing, and sometimes vomiting. With this disease, about 1 in 5 infants may develop pneumonia, about 1 in 100 will have seizures, and in rare cases whooping cough can lead to death.
Adults and adolescents also acquire this infection but do not have as a prolonged course as infants.
They usually have a prolonged, persistent cough that is often confused with acute bronchitis.
