Kadner: Tinley Park 80th Avenue Metra train station is a 'Wow!'

Simply first class. That's my reaction to Tinley Park's new 80th Avenue Metra station.
Actually, my precise response was "Wow."
This is a monumental building the likes of which you rarely see in the southern suburbs.
The pathway leading from the parking lot to the south entrance is a tribute to veterans. Bricks along the walk honor individuals, and on each side of the path are granite monuments representing each branch of the military.
But it's the quality of the architecture and materials that compose the 5,400-square-foot station that is most impressive.
From the slate roof and 50-foot-high clock tower, to the Mancato brick (that looks like limestone but is more colorful) to the copper gutters and copper flashings.
There's even copper rooftop trim.
"'Quality' was the one word the village officials repeated over and over again," said Tony Brooke, a Steger resident who served as construction superintendent on the project.
"I've been doing this for years and never built anything as nice.
"I think it's gorgeous. But I'm biased."
The station cost $13 million (including landscaping and initial engineering and architectural consulting fees and plans).
Metra will eventually spend more than $6 million on the project, including labor for the platform work.
The federal government contributed $1.2 million.
The village is paying for the rest of the project out of various municipal funds (parking, water, sewer, building and streets).
"But taxes were not raised," village manager Scott Niehaus said. "No one is paying a penny more in sales or property taxes."
In my opinion, the final work product passes the Malak Test in every way.
Larry Malak is my longtime friend, and many years ago I took him to see the recently completed George Dunne National Golf Course, which the Cook County Forest Preserve District built at considerable cost.
Larry is not a golfer. In the past he had been vocal in his criticism of government spending.
And here government money was not just being spent on jut a golf course, but a course created to be one of the top 100 public courses in the country.
"I think it's great," Larry said as we walked the site.
He explained that what bothers him is when the government spends money on something that is second rate, or worse.
"I'm not a golfer, but I can see this is really nice. It's something people can be proud of. People who play golf will really enjoy," he said.
"I can see where the money was spent. I just want to feel that in the end my tax money wasn't wasted."
The 80th Avenue Metra station in Tinley Park serves thousands of riders each day, but Tinley Park officials were thinking much bigger than simply serving the needs of commuters.
"This is something that could stand for 100 years and be a symbol of what this village represents," Mayor Ed Zabrocki said. "It's really a companion building to the train station at Oak Park Avenue and we wanted to make a statement about where the community has come from and where it's going to be in the future."
The train station is surrounded by a large plaza. There's an underground pedestrian tunnel to the north parking lot surrounded by layered landscaping that will one day feature gardens.
I have never been in England, but had a feeling this is what a railroad station might look like in that country.
Architect Ted Haug, who designed the building, confirmed my suspicions.
"It is called a Richardsonian Romanesque style, and H.H. Richardson was known, among other things, for designing train stations in England during the late 1800s," Haug said.
The spacious interior features a large Tiffany-style chandelier in the main entrance, a 25-foot-high ceiling made of Douglas Fir wood supported by a network of wooden trusses, and a stone standalone fireplace with two exhaust pipes made of copper (one is for show, the other actually works, I was told).
"The main thing we wanted to include, that was an oversight in the Oak Park station, is a full kitchen," Zabrocki said.
The goal is to have community gatherings in the station, as well as provide food and drink to commuters in a cafeteria.
For years, Tinley Park has had an unofficial policy of allowing motorists to park their cars for free in train station lots at nights and weekends, and next week the village plans to codify that policy.
"After 10:30 in the morning parking will be free," Niehaus said.
"We were forced to raise parking fees to $1.50 and many people think that was done to support the new station, but that has nothing at all to do with that. In fact, we are not allowed by law to use the parking to support the station.
"The parking fees are used to maintain the parking lots, remove the snow and repave or repair them when necessary."
For decades people in the south suburbs have looked with awe and some envy at the amenities offered by west and northwest suburban municipalities.
I have heard people wonder aloud, "Why can't we have something like that in the south suburbs?"
Well, this is exactly the sort of big-thinking, first-class project that the area has long lacked.
It is not a short-term project built on a shoestring budget that attempts to duplicate something grand.
It's the real deal.
And it's not just the train station itself, but the three separate warming houses spread out across the platforms. Obviously, someone gave serious thought to the comfort of commuters.
Too often south suburban leaders have thought small, or cheap, or adopted a defeatist attitude of "we can't do that kind of thing here."
Tinley Park's 80th Avenue commuter station is an example of what can and should be done more often.
It's a thing of beauty. And there aren't enough of those in these parts.

The Tennessee Sampler Survey, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to document, preserve and present Tennessee's needlework heritage, was started in 2004. To date, the survey has documented more than 150 genuine Tennessee samplers.
"The Tennessee Sampler survey has done an amazing job discovering and documenting these beautiful works of art. The Museum Center is thrilled to be able to share this history with Cleveland," says Lisa Chastain, curator of collections.
Sampler making has a long history as a practical and decorative art. Samplers were originally worked as records of stitches, patterns, and motifs. Beginning in the 17th century, sampler making became required of educated young ladies. The sampler served tangible proof of a girl's skill with the needle.
For many years, textile scholars assumed that sampler making was not practiced in the South. Our research has shown that Tennessee girls made samplers from the era of settlement through the end of the 19th century; however, this group has discovered multiple samplers that have a direct link to Tennessee.
Through this exhibit, visitors will be able to explore and learn about different samplers from throughout the three regions of the state.
In addition, the Museum Center will also be displaying samplers from local collections, which range from the 19th century right up until today.
The Museum Center at Five Points preserves and interprets the history and culture of the Ocoee District of Southeast Tennessee.
The Museum Store sells Appalachian arts and crafts from the region. Hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The museum is closed on Sundays, Mondays and holidays.
For more information, call 339-5745 or visit www.museumcenter.org.

Hi all, I've heard of the fabulous and strong fragrance of Cestrum, and I want to buy one, this year. Thanks, Bob |

Hi Bob! Cestrum nocturnum does grow fast but only with lots of sun, heat and fertilizer. Of course I'm going to throw in that you may hate the scent...just warning ya! -Robert |
Thanks for your response, Robert. Heat and fertilizer aren't much of a problem. I'd be happy if it blooms once, but generously. I know I might hate it, but you live once hey, so why not try it, (that goes for the Sunset Scentsation too ;) ) |
Bob, I'm sure yours will bloom. It's one of the most vigorous plants you'll ever grow. It has a strong, heavy scent that I don't particularly love but since the scent is so strong and the plant is so easy to grow I'm keeping it. : ) |
Hi Kemistry, I know, it's vigorous, however, I don't have the patience, to wait a year or two for flowers, hence my question about which size to buy :) Bob |
Yeah, go with a large sized plant just like what Robert had suggested. A tiny cutting will still bloom within 1 year but with less flowers. But don't stop there, have you tried bulbs? Tuberose & Freesia are super fragrant. : ) |
Ok, that's clear, I'll get the biggest one. I did the same mistake with sweet olive, I bought a small one, which is vaguely fragrant). I don't want to repeat the same mistake again :) I know both Freesia (albeit the somewhat undependable florist version) and tuberose. I just want something violently fragrant, wafting, dependable and vigorous. I know it's difficult to keep Jasmines here in Montreal, so I was looking for something with a really pronounced fragrance. |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Thu, Feb 14, 13 at 14:32
I think you nailed it with C. nocturnum! Come sunset you'll know when it's blooming. :) -Robert |
Another super vigorous and super fragrant plant is brugmansia. I had 1 bloom last Fall and my goodness it really stunk up the whole living room. Lol. Robert says it smells awesome outdoors. |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Thu, Feb 14, 13 at 15:13
You're terrible, Kemistry! :P Well if we've made this a free-for-all I'm throwing in Brunfelsia gigantea. It smells awesome at night! -Robert |

Hey guys and gals!! I've been crazy these days! I do have pics to share very soon and can I get any of you addicted to one of the most fragrant orchids I have ever smelled? Ok, what are we talking about here? lol I have one that is about 6 inches high, plant that is and it seems to be growing ever so slowly! I wold say stick with a mature large one. I hope mine grows fast once the heat and sunshine is exposed to it. Hoping you are all well Robert, Wes, Rosey, Olympia, Laura. Jodik, Kemistry, Finius, Josh, Butterfly4u, and anyone I might of mssed. Mike:-) |
Okay Mike that's just rude. You tell us about an awesome smelling orchid but you don't give us its name. Lol. : )) |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 15, 13 at 10:34
Kemistry..I KNOOOOWWW that once I tell you, you'll be right on it..lol Once I get a some time this weekend I'll post my newbies and will share. I hope to get many here orchid addicted befoe the end of this year.ha Mike |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Fri, Feb 15, 13 at 15:29
Okay. Call me crazy but I was just in the bathroom at work and thought I smelled Cestrum nocturnum! Turns out there was an air freshner in the bathroom by California Scents called 'Hawaiian Gardens'. Anyone else ever sniff this and think it smells like cestrum or am I just nuts? Laugh. -Robert |
Here is a link that might be useful: California Scents - Hawaiian Gardens
Robert thanks for the recommendation of Brunfelsia gigantea. Unfortunately I haven't yet found a source in Canada. The problem with most fragrant plants is keeping them alive through our long winters. That's why I'm looking for practical plants, easy going plants. BTW I nearly ordered the Hawian Gardens air freshner :) Kemistry, I know it's idiotic but I am weary of super toxic plants. meyermike that seems like a fantastic orchid. I'm looking forward to photos and more info about it. |

True blue, Cestrum Nocturnum grows very fast, bigger one will give you more flowers if you like the scent. One of the fragrant plant I would recommend is the Jasmine polythanus, or french jasmine. They are very easy to grow and has strong wafted pleasant fragrance. It requires some low temperature to develop its flower buds. my Jasmine P.is blooming right now and has a ton of flowers. Hi, Mike, hope all the snow is gone now . aren't you going to show us what you got from the orchid show? |

Does Teenage Pune Forget to Wear a Condom?
"A Special Delivery/With all the films about unplanned pregnancy this year, 'Juno' is the only one to discuss abortion."
Its author Jennie Yabroff says:
"This may go down as the year Hollywood forgot to wear a condom. Several prominent films—"Knocked Up," "Waitress," "Bella," "Margot at the Wedding"—feature women who unexpectedly find themselves in the family way. While they react to the news with varying levels of delight and/or despair, sooner or later they all accept their condition, as though motherhood has been a fait accompli from the moment of fertilization. Then there's the 16-year-old at the heart of "Juno." After downing gallons of Sunny Delight to facilitate multiple pregnancy tests, Juno MacGuff does what most women do in her circumstances: she calls her best friend. Then she has an awkward conversation with the baby's father. But finally, she does something hardly any other pregnant character in a film has done since Roe v. Wade: she goes to an abortion clinic.
Hollywood is generally assumed to be a bastion of political liberalism, but when movie characters find themselves unintentionally pregnant, one of two things happens: they keep the baby, or they conveniently miscarry. "Juno" is the only film in recent history in which the protagonist seriously considers termination. .."
After I read this, I asked my wife if she remembered any Hindi or Marathi film where a leading lady went for the abortion of an unwanted pregnancy.
Both of us couldn't recall a single instance.
In Hindi films too, "they keep the baby, or they conveniently miscarry." See related entry on this subject here.
Times of India November 23, 2007 reported:
"Teen abortions rising at alarming rate:
The number of teenagers and young unmarried women going for abortions has risen sharply in Pune, sparking concern among gynaecologists over unsafe and unprotected sex…
Most of these girls and women are educated and are either students or working women…
While the members of the society said it was difficult to count the actual number of teen abortions in the city, they agreed that the number has risen sharply…"
I had read in the past how abortions among teens went up few weeks post-Navratri.
However, Times of India reported in October 2005:
"Solved: Post-Navratri abortion
It's a revolution of sorts. Social researchers waiting to dish out those cliched surveys on abortion rates after Navratris in Gujarat, are in for some disappointment. Because revellers, especially girls, are shedding inhibitions and walking up to the neighbourhood chemist asking for condoms.
And invading the market are the Cobras, Draculas, Skinless Skin — all brands of condoms from China. With the nine nights of revelry having peaked over the week-end gone by, chemists are confessing that condom sales are up by up to 50 per cent…"
Considering that Hindi films tend to have a lot of influence on Indian teens and that, like Hollywood films, they can't show abortion, I hope they promote use of condoms to Indian teens.

1-Day Acuvue Trueye is Johnson & Johnson's only daily silicone hydrogel lens, designed to keep up with the demands of a modern lifestyle. Further Information
Your prescription information is on the right hand side of your contact lens box. For accuracy we suggest using this to make sure you order the correct lenses.
I cannot recommend them high enough! I do not even feel I am wearing contact lenses. As I have tried many different contact lenses in the past I just couldn't find any that I would find comfortable. I am definitely going to stick with them.
Consistently the most comfortable lenses I have worn in 30 years of lens use.
These are the best lenses for longterm use. They allow through nearly 100% Oxygen in the air so long use won't cause new vessel growth over iris. Having tried every lens ever made, these are the best. The ordinary one day Acuvue are more comfortable but you can't wear them as long as they dont allow the Oxygen permeability of Trueye. These contacts allow daily usage 15-17hrs a day, 7 days a week. No other lens EVER allowed me to do this before. I'd prefer a slight blue tint in them however to enhance eye colour and see them in vial. Maybe this will soon come.
Have found them comfortable to wear for up to 12 hours (I do shift work and sometimes do 12-hour shifts)
Excellent service!
Comfortable lenses which I can wear all day. Good to know they allow more oxygen to the eye too.
These are the best daily lenses I have found. I have tried many and found others irritate my eyes after only a few hours wear. I have sometimes forgotten these were in and fallen asleep wearing them and I wake up still not remembering as my eyes are fine (not that I would recommend that) but they are the best dailies I have found so I suppose that warrants the added cost.
Easy to insert and take out. Besides they fit amazingly well - it's like having no contact lenses in at all.
Great value for money!
I have really dry eyes and this product is excellent in keeping them hydrated all day. My optician said it's because they let more oxygen to your eyes.
These are great! I have used them for years and don't suffer from dry eyes anymore.
Fantastic product! Easy to use and feels like you are not wearing lenses at all.
I have worn monthlies since forever and wanted to try out dailies. These were the first ones I tried. They were so comfortable that I didn't have to look further.
It's been 3 years since I started wearing Trueye lenses and I'm still very happy with them.
Excellent product! 4/5 stars for vision as they get a little blurry after inserting but it gets better after a few minutes.
So much better than any other daily lenses! Better quality, higher level of comfort and perfect fit.
I've suffered from chronic dry eye and keratitis for a few years now and nothing seemed to help. I usually had to take my lenses out after two hours of wearing them and that's not really the point with lenses, isn't it? My optician then recommend Trueye to me and I can wear my lenses all day now. No dryness, grittiness and irritation.
Fantastic product and perfect if you struggle with dry eyes.
A bit pricey but really good quality. Wouldn't change them for any other brand!
These are the best lenses I have ever used. They stay comfortable no matter what I do like a hard workout pr work in an air-con environment.
My optician recommended them to me as I use my lenses every day. I have used 1-Day Acuvue Moist before but my optician said it would be better to use Trueye as they let more oxygen in. To me the comfort level is slightly better with Trueye.
I have very dry eyes and these lenses are just perfect. I can wear them all day without any gritty feeling in my eyes. Perfect!
Good value for money. Very happy!
Most comfy lenses I have ever worn! Amazing product!
Best lenses ever!
These don't dry out my eyes as much as other dailies and don't feel gritty at all. I'm glad I found them as I was nearly at the point of giving up dailies altogether as all my old ones were really uncomfortable.
Although they are a bit more expensive, you'll save loads of money because you won't need solutions or eye drops. Trueye are really comfortable and very convenient as you can just throw them away at the end of the day.
I have used monthlies before and wanted to try dailies, so I tried my first pair 2 years ago but didn't quite like it and switched back to monthlies. Then a friend recommend Trueye to me and I decided to give it another go. Very happy with it! Wouldn't change back to monthlies again.
Very comfortable. The price and vision are okay, above average.
Great lenses!
I have just recently discovered these lenses and am very happy with them. Better than my old ones!
My friend recommended 1-Day Acuvue Trueye to me after I complained to her that I couldn't find lenses that wouldn't irritate my eyes and make them red and itchy. These fixed my problems.
Super comfy and good value for money!
I have tried many lenses before - monthlies and dailies - but these are the most comfortable ones I have found so far. They don't irritate my eyes at all.
Amazing quality!
These were my second dailies after I switched from monthlies. Way better than the first brand I used!
These are thicker than normal lenses and won't break as easily which makes them so much easier to insert! My favorite lenses by far!
Excellent contact lenses!
I have been wearing contact lenses for a really long time now. I started off with 1-Day Acuvue and changed to Moist once mine were discontinued. I wasn't quite satisfied with those though, so I tried Trueye and I'm truly happy with my decision!
My favorite dailies! Super comfy and easy to handle.
Great product!
Great product, great service!
Very comfortable lenses that are very easy to use and don't need cleaning like monthlies. Very time efficient! And they don't hurt as much as monthlies (due to no deposits as you throw them away after one use).
My vision is great, sharp and clear and 1-Day Acuvue Trueye are comfortable right after putting them into your eyes. But after 5-6 hours you need to use eye drops.
My vision is a little bit blurry after inserting them but that gets better after a few minutes. Other than that this product is excellent!
It's a pleasure to wear 1-Day Acuvue Trueye. I always forget that I'm wearing lenses because of their great fit and comfort.
These dailies are perfect! Great fit, material and price!
Love these!
I have used these for 3 years now and wouldn't change them.
Very happy with this product!
I have used 1-Day Acuvue Moist before but I prefer Trueye. I don't have to use eye drops at all when I have them in which saves quite some money.
Easy to use and they don't need cleaning like monthlies. Besides, they are comfortable and don't dry out my eyes.
Very comfortable and my vision is better than with monthlies. I guess it is because you use new lenses on a daily basis and don't have any deposits. Still I wouldn't change them. Excellent product!
Great material that doesn't break or get damaged easily. To me, these are the best daily lenses on the market.
Acuvue Trueye are the only dailies that don't dry out or irritate my eyes. Even though they are a bit more expensive, they are worth it as I want to continue using dailies instead of monthlies.
Great lenses!
I have just recently tried these lenses and just love them. They are a lot more comfortable than the lenses I used to wear before.
Excellent quality for a reasonable price!
Very satisfied with this product!
I tend to forget that I'm wearing lenses as they are so comfortable.
Don't irritate or dry out my eyes and are super comfortable.
A little bit more expensive than most dailies but so worth the money!
I have tried all kinds of lenses, from monthlies to dailies, and these are the best so far! Besides I prefer dailies as you don't need any extra solutions to clean them. Saves you a lot of time!
Easy to insert and take out and good quality!
Best lenses ever!
They fit perfectly, don't move around in my eye and are so comfortable that I sometimes forget that I'm wearing lenses.
I totally recommend these! Very comfortable!
Great quality and good value for money! Will buy again!
I have used these for years and I still love them as much as I did the first time I tried them. Amazing lenses!
Amazing lenses!
My optician recommended these to me when I asked for lenses for dry eyes. I don't have to use eye drops as often anymore!
I have tried other Acuvue lenses before but these are the most comfortable ones!
Very comfortable and my vision has never been as good and clear as with these dailies!
In my opinion these are the most comfortable lenses on the market so far. I have tried a lot of them and these are just amazing!
Good value for money!
I have tried many contact lenses before and have always suffered from dry eyes. These are a lot better and don't dry out my eyes as much.
Excellent product!
They keep my eyes moist and are really comfortable! I can wear for nearly eight hours without my eyes going dry and having to use eye drops.
I have used 1-Day Acuvue Trueye for years and love it!
Easy to put in, difficult to take out!
And many times something happens and I can't explain, once put in or if it's windy or cold weather, part of the lens gets blurry/dries out, forcing me to take them out. I tried special eye drops, no help.
Comfortable to wear, however usually tend to get a little dry and my eyes get blurry after 6 hours of wear or longer. The lenses do not irritate my eyes the blurriness just tents to become a little annoying.
Love these lenses, tried them after my old monthly lenses really dried out my eyes and what a difference they made! I can wear Trueye for hours and they don't feel uncomfortable or gritty, I would recommend them to anyone looking for long wear comfy lenses. The only downside is that they are quite expensive, luckily much cheaper from Vision Direct than from my optician!
Extremely comfortable for dry eyes and very easy to use. I've used moist ones and these are much better. You can actually feel the difference the second you are using TruEye. The biggest problem is not the product quality but the price. After 10% discount, I still think it's pretty expensive.
Great lenses, can stay in all day and the eyes don't ache! Can even sleep in em if you want. More noticable when wearing than Acuvue Moist and have eye drops at the ready as they get dry.
The best daily lenses I have ever worn. My eyes never feel itchy or sore, and I've managed to nap with them in on long journeys, when I wake up my vision is still perfect, and the lenses don't feel uncomfortable. I can wear them for 16 hours and they still feel the same as when I put them in. Unfortunately they're very expensive compared to other dailies, so I usually only keep a box of Trueye for special occasions.
Larger lenses than most and the texture of the lense even feel like real eye jelly! Though this may put people off, I cant think of anything better or more natural to lay on my eyes all day! My vision is clearer even at end of day, its just unfortunate I have to use them as a luxury product really and buy cheaper dailies along with the TruEye due to the designer cost!
These lenses are so soft they are really comfortable all day long. The vision is inferior to Bausch & Lomb lenses which are easier to fit as they are thicker, but inherently less comfortable.
Been wearing lenses for many years and these are by far the most comfortable, even at the end of a long day.
These contact lenses are the most comfortable to wear.

One evening, at about 6 o'clock, I was sitting in front of my house just relaxing and doing nothing in particular. There were some white clouds blocking the blue sky. There was no hint of rain. It was just a pleasant warm evening, which was very normal.
Then I heard a distant rumble of thunder. It was so faint that I thought I might have imagined it. Gradually the rumbling became more distinct. I looked towards the sky and still could not see any hint of rain. White clouds still dominate the sky.
The rumbling grew louder and louder. Very quickly the eastern sky turned black. The speed at which the black clouds appeared astonished me. In a few minutes, I could feel cool wind blowing from the blackened sky. In another few minutes, the whole sky was engulfed by black swirling clouds. The wind increased in intensity. I could see the trees bent precariously to one side as though they were going to fall over or get blown away like feathers.
Suddenly I heard a very loud roar above the rumbling of thunder and the howling of wind. The roar became louder and louder. It sounded like a gigantic train approaching though it certainly was not one. The sound was quite unsettling. I looked in the direction of the roar and saw a white curtain of approaching rain.
Next second it was upon us. The corrugated iron roof of my house rattled shakily as the pouring rain crashed down upon it. I ran into the house. The storm was in full swing.
Flashes of lightning lit up the darkened sky followed by cracks of thunder as though in reply. Some flashes of lightning came dangerously close to our house. The following cracks of thunder were immediate and deafening. I saw my father utter a silent prayer. My kid sister had her palms against her ears while safely enclosed in my mother's arms.
The fury of the storm was incredible. I looked...

The end of vanilla WoW {WoW}
May 5th 2009 10:21AM I'm sorry but I cannot agree with this at all. Maybe it's because i've played the game since launch, but leveling a new alt through Kalimdor and EK has a general feeling of nostalgia to it every time. I enjoy the old world and almost feel dread with having to slog through Outland from 58 to 68. I am wary of grouping with players who did not level thier characters in the old world such as Death Knights or Recruit-a-Friend recipients. I believe having to go through those early levels gives invaluable experience with your class and works greatly for high level noob prevention.
WoW Moviewatch: Honor Killz by A6 {WoW}
Apr 23rd 2009 3:58AM So basically...this is a merger of Gigi's only theme to each of her videos(killing people in Battlegrounds) and the concept that Nhym started of re-writing famous rap songs to fit WoW. WTB original content. The video editing is excellent, too bad it's wasted on another rehashed WoW rap song.

A world without Varimathras {WoW}
Feb 24th 2009 1:18AM "Least exciting"?
For those of us who call Horde our home (obviously not the author of this article), the battle for Undercity and the defeat of Varimathras was pretty major. Everyone's known he would eventually pull something and use the tension between the Forsaken and the rest of the Horde to his advantage. Defeating his evil plan cemented a united Horde ready to stand against anything together. It's a pitty Bolvar went down in the process and Mr ex-gladiator king took it personally. Good thing Jaina saved his butt by teleporting them away. He'd get owned seeing as how Thrall, Sylvannas, AND Saurfang were there to defend their city from his Alliance goons.

All the World's a Stage: So you still want to be a blood elf, part 3 {WoW}
Nov 3rd 2008 12:30PM Poor Draenei really did kind of take a back seat in this expansion to the BEs. It seems that in WotLK, it's a good time to be a Human paladin; what with heavy involvement from Tirion Fordring and whatnot.
All the World's a Stage: So you still want to be a blood elf, part 3 {WoW}
Nov 3rd 2008 1:06AM As to Gurluas' comment..
I thankfully got to play on the Beta and also noticed Vereesa Windrunner and her Silver Covenant faction. The very existence and purpose of it is basically a slap in the face to both the entire Blood Elf race and also her sister. Obviously, being married to a human who is of know of great importance, you can understand her keeping ties to the Alliance. But taking it to the proportions of founding a whole order bent on keeping Quel'thalas out of Kirin Tor affairs just sounds like her being bitter and maybe a little jealous.

Javvarisi Idli (Sago / Sabudhana Idly) | South Indian Breakfast Recipe
ஜவ்வரிசி இட்லி
Rice rava and tapioca pearl is soaked in yogurt and steam cooked as Idli.
Setting Time: 8 Hours
Preparation & Cooking Time : 30 Minutes
YIELD : 24 Idlies
Idli Rice Rava - 1 cup
Sago / Javvarisi / Sabudhana - 1 cup
Yogurt - 2 1/2 cups(preferably soar)
water - 1 1/4 cups
Grated carrot - 2 tbsp
G.chillies - 2-3 finely chopped
Eno ( Fruit Salt) - 1 1/2 tsp
Salt - 3 tsp ( or as needed)
Curry leaves - 1 spring finely chopped
Oil - 1 tbsp
look at the sago pearls appearance in the Idli.
- First soak together rice rava, sago with salt in yogurt and water. Mix well and set it to ferment for minimum 6-8 hours
- After the set time check for the batter consistency. If it is very thick and solid, add some more water to make pouring Idli Batter consistency.( Do not add more water, otherwise Idly won't puff up like Kushboo Idli).
- Heat oil in a fry pan. Add chopped green chilli, curry leaves and fry for a minute. Pour this oil seasoning to the batter. Stir well.
- Now heat the Idli Steamer with a cup of water at the bottom and let it boil. Mean while add eno(fruit salt) to the batter and stir faster to make batter fluffy.
- Grease the Idli Moulds with oil and pour a laddle of the batter in each mould and steam cook for 10 - 12 minutes on high flame.
- If you don't have idli steamer. Use a tray of about 2 " height. Grease and pour batter. Steam cook in pressure cooker for the same time.
- Give a stand by time before you remove Idli from moulds.( this step will help Idli to come out perfectly without sticking / losing its shape) Dish out the Piping hot Sago Idli. Serve with Idli Milagai Podi.
- Other serving accompaniment is Sambar / Chutney.
- The setting time may vary depends on the sago variety you use for cooking.
- The yogurt/ curd should be sour enough to taste Idli Good.
- Add chopped onion to the batter, if you like the taste.

One of the things that the influx of trap did for the EDM scene was open up the doors for more takes on established sounds. Sure, moombahton reinvented reggaeton for the dance music set, and trap really is just reimagining the Dirty South-style of hip-hop, but it's not more acceptable to play around with these undiscovered BPMs, at least in a dance music realm. DAD gave you a peek at this EP with Buzz Trillington's brilliant promo mix, but now we present to you We Keep It, an EP stuck entirely at 100BPM.
One DAD commenter called this "hyphy," which might work, but that might be missing the point; we're not in a time where we need to label everything. We're daily fighting those who say "you need not label everything," while then having to realize that people do need holes to pigeon sounds into. Right now, we're good with Buzz, Shooter McNappin, Riot Earp (love that name!), Notixx, Pickster One, and Ape Drums keeping it 1hunnid, having us live in this eternal twerk zone, where damn near everything is possible. Each track on this one is dope, plain and simple, and at the very least, it let's DAD know that we've barely scratched the surface when it comes to what dance music can acquire and rediscover.

Six impossibly perfect, chiselled hunks will delight ladies and annoy less physically perfect males when they perform at Carnival City's newly refurbished Mardi Gras Theatre every Thursday from May.
Each male dancer has been buffed, trained, worked on, worked out, choreographed, staged and presented for the sole purpose of delighting female patrons at ladies night. Pulse, a professional male revue, promises a weekly 60-minute package of sizzling hot raunchy energy.
And women who love men in uniform won't be disappointed as they'll be confronted by sailors, soldiers, policemen, cowboys and firemen to name a few, that is, when they're wearing clothes. Purists can still look forward to seeing the hunky dancers in their trademark black bow tie and skin, lots of it.
Whether you're in your twenties or eighties, as long as you've got a single hormone this is a show you won't want to miss. The show starts at 8pm and tickets are available from the door at R50.
The show is not, however, recommended for men with inferiority complexes so they will only be allowed into the venue after the show ends at 9pm.
Date Every Thursday from May 2013
Time Doors open: 19h00
Show: 19h00 to 20h00
Men allowed entry after 21h00
Venue Carnival City Mardi Gras, Brakpan
Cost R50
Tickets Available at the MVG Ticket Booth.

According to the two, the 2D specification will be released in the near future, with 3D to follow suit shortly. Internal details of ATI's R300 GPUs are to follow. Last week ATI owners AMD announced that publication of the specifications would be made subject to signing a non-disclosure agreement.

Fuel Poverty
Energy and Climate Change
Lindsay Roy (Glenrothes, Labour)
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what estimate he has made of the number of people in the UK who are in fuel poverty.
Gregory Barker (The Minister of State, Department of Energy and Climate Change; Bexhill and Battle, Conservative)
Fuel poverty is measured at a household rather than individual level. In 2010, the latest year for which data are available, an estimated 4.75 million households in the UK were in fuel poverty. This represented approximately 19% of all UK households.

It's great seeing Selena Gomez break free from the shackles of Bieber and really come into her own. While Sir Biebs continues his bizarre Downward Spiral European Vacation, Gomez is starring in what's likely to be one of the top movies of the season, the Harmony Korine-directed "Spring Breakers" with her BFF Vanessa Hudgens and -- sigh -- James Franco. In any case, Selener seems to favor two designers in particular: Dolce & Gabbana and Versace. Take a look at her ten best, and tell us which is your favorite (and send her your post-break up congrats!).

Computer-based malware may have been attempting to hurt the reputation of Android security.
Android not responsible for botnet, experts sayandroid, malware, securityAccording to a recent blog post by Terry Zink, Program Manager for Microsoft Forefront Online Security, computer-based malware may have been targeting Android device security. Early claims of an Android-based botnet started circulating throughout the media, leading many to believe Android devices were being used to send spam. However, the issue might not be as clear as it was originally presented. "All of these messages are sent from Android devices," Zink wrote. "We've all heard the rumors, but this is the first time I have seen it - a spammer has control of a botnet that lives on Android devices. These devices login to the user's Yahoo Mail account and send spam." Zink originally believed the source to be a malicious Android app, noting that lax application security practices could lead to the spread of app-based malware. He also noted that users are far less likely to download malicious software if they use the Android app store. Android security: Still in good shape According to Zink, a botnet has never compromised the security of an Android device. Had this occurred, it would have made mobile device security headlines. Google has denied the claim that the spam originated from its mobile devices. "The evidence we've examined does not support the Android botnet claim," said a Google spokesperson. "Our analysis so far suggests that spammers are using infected computers and a fake mobile signature to try to bypass anti-spam mechanisms in the email platform they're using. We're continuing to investigate the details." According to a recent Wall Street Journal blog post, several security experts admitted the possibility that the Android signatures could have been spoofed, making it seem like the spam came from Android. The post provided insight from Alex Stamos, CTO of web-security firm Artemis Internet, who explained that it's unlikely spammers were targeting mobile networks. Spammers prefer to use methods that allow them to rapidly change Internet Protocol addresses, which is not something that is easy to accomplish on mobile networks. Android popularity growth raises security concerns Businesses should take measures to secure Android devices connecting to their corporate networks. A Computerworld article highlighted the growing popularity of Android, with more than 900,000 new devices being activated every day. Android adoption is expected to continue and the smartphone OS is expected to reach a 61 percent market share by the end of 2012. The increasing popularity of Android also means businesses will need security support for the device. As platforms become more popular with users, they can become a target for malware developers hoping to take advantage of a large population of potential victims. Recommended Articles for You

"We got off to a later start out of that area than we'd like."
Later in the spring, Crown Jewels expects to add production of cucumbers, squash, bell peppers and perhaps some strawberries in Baja California.
The reemergence of bell peppers didn't help sellers on price.
"Demand was very good, the markets remained high and we came into a nice flush of product about the same time Florida got back on their feet," said Mike Aiton, marketing director for Coachella, Calif.-based Prime Time International. "It was a double whammy to the markets."
"There aren't many items in West Mexico where the market prices are very good," Aiton said.
"Last year on hard squash, there were a lot of sales in the $20s due to some weather, but now it's more seasonably correct in the $8-12 range."
Fried DeSchouwer, president of Vero Beach, Fla.-based Greenhouse Produce Co. LLC, retained some optimism for the Nogales season.
"I foresee a good ending of the season in the next two months and I think the market will restore itself," he said Feb. 11. "Once the U.S. storms subside, people will at least be able to go out and shop."
The Giumarra Cos. and Crown Jewels Produce are boosting Mexico watermelon production.
Giumarra, which traditionally had a gap from January to early April, has more than doubled production, said Gil Munguia, Giumarra Nogales division manager. Crown Jewels expects to be up as much as 40% on seedless watermelons and honeydews starting in early April.

My daughter Annika is a hopeless romantic. Her favorite color is pink. She loves to wear dresses. She loves to sing. She loves all the romance from the princess movies. I picture her playing the part of Giselle in the movie Enchanted.
I remember once when she was in preschool a boy had given her a kiss. She knows she's not allowed to kiss boys until she's WAY older, and when she came home she told me about it. With a "sour look" on her face, she said, "Mom, Zach kissed me." But then as she walked away her face turned into a dreamy smile, and I knew the sour face was all a facade. Later that day I heard her playing in her room and she was singing to herself the song from Cinderella:
So this is love, hmmmm, so this is love So this is what makes life divine....etc.
That little story right there sums up romance for me in a nutshell. Being in love brings a smile to my face. Being in love makes me sing silly love songs. Being in love brings purpose to my life. I love my husband Cory and am so lucky to have him. I also love my children and they make me who I am.
I know a lot of people don't celebrate Valentine's because it's marketed as being a "couple's holiday." But I think Valentine's is much more than that. It is about loving people. Sometimes it means loving a spouse. Sometimes it means your children or parents. Sometimes it's the neighbor next door. We all can give our love to others. So this is love!

Ive not made a journal entry in quiet a while so i have a lot of updating to do!
Let me start by saying Im a 14 year old boy and im bisexual, A few month ago i would of choked on those words but now im much more comfortable with myself although Im still learning about my sexuality I can deal with it better because of my personal acceptence.
Hello strangers...
This is the 1st time I ever talked to a soul about this. I have had this on my mind for some time now. I read a few articles about similar situations before that motivated me to write about me for the first time. Only through the anonymity of the internet can I find relief to talk about my sexual.....well......things. So, I registered, and here I am. Again, you, internet strangers, are the first I talk to about this. All of the following, I never told anyone about. Until now.
Last week it was Valentines Day.
I celebrated my one-month anniversary with my boyfriend.
I need to know. Is there anyone struggling like me? and can anyone help or need mine?
SO today marked the first meeting of my GSA at school! It turned out absolutely brilliant! We had about twenty people show up with little to no advertising (only an announcement on the P.A this morning and myself telling the school music department about it) as opposed to last year's measely ten members- and that was on a good day!
SO I've never actually typed out my coming out story even though it happened two years ago. Goodness knows that after what happened to force me out warned me against writing down any important thought or feelings. But here goes nothing:
Two years ago, my grade nine year in high school, I fell in love with my best friend. She had already came out to me as being bisexual and before her I had always assumed myself to be straight. But one day it just clicked inside me that I was in love with her.
I've just joined and I don't even know if this is the right place to post it, but I just want to get my feelings out.
So this year I went away to college, and I met a girl, who was a few years older than me, and we quickly became best friends. Before I met her I never really had any bisexual feelings, neither did she. One thing lead to another and after months of being friends we hooked up and started dating. We didn't tell anyone, I told one of my sisters, and she told one of her friends, but did not want anyone to know because her parents would freak.
Okay so I'm new to this whole website but I wanted to know if anyone here is trigender (other than me) which means that they switch between feminine, masculine and androgynous natures depending on the situation. Even anyone bigender, agender, androgynous, transexual/transgender or basically anyone who has any ideas for me. It's really hard being trigender, especially because I'm also bisexual, which is pretty unheard of. I've only told my best friend (he's gay I knew he'd understand), but I can't stand this closet anymore, its making me claustrophobic.
I have been sporadically writing here since 2005. At that time I thought I was bisexual with straight tendencies. Now I am almost certain that is not the case.
Over the years I have had boyfriends, and I am currently married to a man. This is apparently completely irrelevant.
hello. I just found out about this whole site last night. I am currently typing out this on my dsiXL, because my internet is easily traced anywhere else. I'm young for this, just 13. I realized I was bi only like a month ago, because I dreamed about kissing the girl who was my best friend in K-2nd grade, and i tried desperately to get back to that dream, because it felt so perfect. i know i'm not lesbian, i had a whopper crush on a boy last year, though. Last night i found this site and was up till 1:30 in the morning reading the forums, even the ones that were started like 5 yrs ago.
So I decided to get an account on here, because I've sort of fallen out of touch with the online LGBT community, or whatever you wanna call it. It might help me to be able to blog about random shit in my life. I used to have a blog, but then I just got too busy for it and got out of the habit.
Have you every thought, "I want a sex change...or do I?"
I'm trying to tell my parents that i'm bi but i don't want to put that burden on them they are busy right now trying to help my cousins get through their ordeal , my uncle cheated on my aunt so now were fighting them for custody so i cant tell them now what do i do?
I'm tired of keeping it a secret..
so who was your first crush? someone in school? celeberity? doesn't have absolutely specific if you don't want it to be...guy or girls doesn't matter...as far back as you can remember! hell add some of the other crushes! i'm putting all on! don't have much anyways...
Just to let you know, this is a pretty big wall of text... I also hope that the fact that I'm new won't get in the way of you giving me advice.
I have now come out to enough people to make a high five, so yeah, that's awesome. That makes, L (friend), H, lesbian youth minister at my church (God, I love my church!), M (friend), N (ex-boyfriend), and K (friend). M came out as bisexual to me, so I kinda reflexed and came out to him as well. Then N, ex-kinda-boyfriend, came out to me as bisexual, so I reflexed again and came out to him. He said something that seemed like he might be gay, though, that he was still questioning (which I am, too). I agonized for a bit when I was only out to one friend.
I really disagree on the faggots that attend my school.
I'm BISEXUAL & 11 years old. Yes, 11.
I know I'm bisexual cause I like girls & guys; I'm not too young, so shuttup.
Everyone at my school looks down upon me like being gay is some kind of sickness or something. Whatever, I don't give a fuck. :D
I really wish I could just find a perrrfecttoo girl.
But it's hard.
ive never believed in Looking for love to find it.
but ive also realised when the only 2 non-straight ppl in my school are my my exgirlfriend and non-friend .. and they'r dating eachother.. its hard to just Wait for someone special to come along.
Especially being in and out the closet at the same time.. in at home and out well otherwise but being only 14 even being half out makes itharder getting around meeting people or even making friends i have things in common with.

Joe----the pictures are glorious. I thought I had answered your post but I don't see it. What a beautiful view of the river----- I could be very happy living in that house--- Florence |
Your photographs are outstanding, as always. It seems like I used to read more about Wave Hill when Marco Stufano was hort director, not so much since his retirement. The gardens are an inspiration still. Thanks for sharing your day! |
- Posted by youngquinn VIC Aust (My Page) on Sun, Aug 19, 07 at 19:57
that sounds like a perfect day Joe and the shots are great as always. The house looks so interesting esp after hearing its history. I think us coming to New York for 2 days was one of the dumbest things we have ever done (should have spent a minimum of a couple of weeks!) |
- Posted by meredith_e 7B Piedmont NC (My Page) on Mon, Aug 20, 07 at 11:08
I'd never heard of it before; thank you! It looks like a great place to visit. 28 acres of gardens - that'll do it for me even without the history :) |
Thanks Joe. |

If there was any doubt that the veteran country rockers have experienced quite a few changes in the past few years, bass guitarist Jay DeMarcus expels them.

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Patch 4.3 and its implications
I admit I was hoping there would be more changes to warriors to talk about by now. At least so far, the patch 4.3 PTR has been fairly quiet on the warrior front. Sure, fury got a nerf, and a fairly large one. Fury's been the melee spec that's actually done good damage this raid tier, so I knew the writing was on the wall for it. What I didn't expect was the particular blend of buff and nerf that the spec has seen. Meanwhile, arms and protection have not changed at all, and this far into the PTR, I find that kind of baffling.
Nerfing Dual-Wield Specialization to remove the 5% physical damage bonus -- that, I understand. It's an easy Band-Aid to rip off of the spec to flat-out reduce all damage done, and with all physical attack power buffs adding 20% instead of 10% melee AP in 4.3, it's likely we won't really even feel it. What that change does is lower fury's base so that it doesn't scale better than every other melee once the AP changes are in. No, I'm not surprised at all by that, and I wouldn't be surprised if Precision gets a nerf as well to reduce our white damage slightly. While I absolutely do not agree with these changes, believe them justified in any way, or support them, I at least understand them.
Fury and the middling mastery
What absolutely baffles me is the change to Unshackled Fury and what it means for the spec. If you remember, back in patch 4.1, mastery was mauled for fury warriors. While very other spec of warrior starts at a base of 8 mastery points (so that, naked, you have 8 mastery), fury starts at 2. This means that, at the baseline, Unshacked Fury gives you 11% more benefit from Enrage effects ever since Patch 4.1. This has made mastery an undesirable stat for fury, neck-and-neck with haste for least wanted. Crit and hit both give warriors more, and since 4.1, mastery has been wholeheartedly eschewed. Patch 4.3 changes Unshackled Fury back to its pre-4.1 state.
This leads me to wonder several things. It leads me to believe that we absolutely will see more nerfs to fury if this change to mastery goes live. I don't see how you could possibly buff mastery (a stat that was nerfed entirely due to its large burst damage potential) without at the very least reducing the Precision auto-attack buff, especially since that buff was first introduced to compensate for the fury mastery nerf. (It did that, so well that hit became the secondary DPS stat for fury and mastery fell.) More interesting than that, however, is the implication that the change to mastery in 4.1 was not fully anticipated, or at least the full effect of it was not.
How mastery stopped mattering
Mastery is supposed to be a stat you want to see on gear. For a protection warrior, it clearly is; I love mastery on my tanking gear, and I'll even reforge stats like hit and/or expertise to it. For arms, it's still a relatively strong stat even though the ability it modifies (Strikes of Opportunity) isn't as potent as Unshackled Fury. But the massive, massive drop of six full mastery points for fury as opposed to arms or protection made the stat simply unwanted. No one seriously accumulates it.
Frankly, 56% more damage from every Raging Blow, from every Death Wish, and from entering Enrage has the potential to more than make up for the lost damage from DW Spec, and that's not even considering what will happen if I reforge back toward mastery. At least part of this swing back to pre-4.1 numbers, if it's not an accident, has to be to account for the fact that mastery is right now simply terrible for SMF fury and has a strange bell curve effect for TG fury where it's terrible, then decent, and then terrible again. Mastery should be a stat you want on your DPS gear. You shouldn't always reject it because it's simply too difficult to get any real benefit out of it compared to other stats, and that's what the 4.1 changes did (as I complained incessantly at the time). I believed then and believe now that the changes were made to reduce fury's burst damage in PVP, which leads me to wonder if fury became simply too uncompetitive in high-end Rated BG and Arena play. I've done both as fury, but I will admit to preferring protection, which in of itself might be all the indictment fury PVP needs at the highest levels.
In the absence of changes to arms and prot as of this writing (remember, it's the PTR -- things can and do change at any moment), what we're left with is a series of changes that say that Blizzard is fairly serious about fury DPS being too high, but also that mastery is simply not an attractive stat for fury warriors at present, which is absolutely true. I expect further nerfs (most probably to Precision) if this change to mastery goes live, rolling back the 4.1 change to mastery and potentially returning the statistic to its 4.0 luster as a stat for fury warriors.
Next week, BlizzCon will be in full swing, and while everyone else will be out and about having fun, I'll be stuck here. Sob. Expect more talk about arms, unless something PTRish happens or BlizzCon itself reveals something massive for our class.
