Cold-Blooded Killers
A look at Lizardmen in the upcoming March of the Damned expansion |
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game | Published 20 July 2010 |
Deep within the hellish and steaming jungles of Lustria, amid ancient trees and cloying swamps, the age-old civilisation of the Lizardmen has stood since long before the rise of Elves, Dwarfs, or Men. Savage warriors, the Lizardmen are vigilant in the defense of their ways. These children of the Old One creators fight to restore order to the world, but their enigmatic motivations make them uncertain and often dangerous allies.
Welcome to another card of the week preview for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game! The Fall of Karak Grimaz will be on shelves soon, but rather than turn our attention to The Silent Forge (the next Battle Pack in The Enemy Cycle), let's take another look at the upcoming deluxe expansion March of the Damned. Last month, we saw the awesome power of the Wight Lord, a Vampire Count unit that can wreak havoc every time it enters play (which, with some creative use of Necromancy, can be often). This time, we'll take a look at the elusive Lizardmen, and we'll see the potential devastation of their Savage keyword.
The rules state that "Savage X" allows a unit, when it is dealt 1 or more damage, to deal X damage to one target unit in any corresponding zone. It is important to note that the unit with the Savage keyword must survive the damage it was dealt in order for the Savage keyword to trigger.
From a strategic standpoint, it's also important to note a few other points: First, Savage does not require the unit in question to take that damage in combat ; the damage can be dealt for any number of reasons. Second, the unit with Savage can still be quite dangerous when corrupted. All of this adds up to some exciting deckbuilding opportunities. How, for example, might you control incoming damage (or even damage your own Savage units) in order to use your Lizardmen to "bounce" punishment back at your enemies?
There are more than a few ways. The Empire's Warrior Priests can send deflected damage to their own scaly comrades, while The High Elves' Loremaster of Hoeth could trigger Savage just by entering play and the support card Ancient Waystone could potentially let you pull off a Savage combo every time a spell card is played! The list goes on... consider the synergy between the Savage keyword and Blessing of Valaya or Surprise Assault, just to name two more.
This brings us to our double-feature preview of March of the Damned. The formidable Carnosaur Rider stands ready to deal three points of damage if anyone so much as tickles him, and the zealous Temple Guard can ensure that any incoming damage is redirected toward the Carnosaur Rider!
The best part, perhaps, is that neither unit has to be involved in combat (or even in the Battlefield at all) for this combo to be effective. You just need a target (some third party unit) from which you can redirect incoming damage, and a resource token. Then you can make your opponent think twice about every point of damage he inflicts.
In short, the Lizardmen are able to deal out massive injury to all who stand against them. They just need a bit of "persuasion" first. Join us next week for another Warhammer: Invasion card preview!
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game is a card game by Eric M. Lang in which 2 players develop their kingdoms and lay waste to their foes. Each side is comprised of either the forces of Order or the forces of Destruction as they seek to extend their empire to include the entire Old World. The Living Card Game format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Battle Pack expansions to the core game.
Compare the Carnosaur to Chaos Knights and recognize how overpowered it is. Also, order wasn't well known about it's very powerfull combat units.
But at least we will be able to use Savage. :)
Temple Guard is also very powerfull, it needs some testing.
Wight Knight become even more needed in decks than I tought before.
Does the wording on Temple Guard and what it means to redirect damage 'dealt' confuse anyone?
For example, is the damage moved after it is dealt, or before? This is important because you could do the following:
Damage is dealt to Carnosaur Rider, triggering savage. Redirect the damage to another Carnosaur Rider, triggering savage. Redirect back to the first Carnosaur Rider, triggering savage. Rinse and repeat.
Also, is redirected damage a new kind of damage? The FAQ says moved damage does NOT count as dealt damage and so if the two were the same then the combo of Carnosaur Rider + Temple Guard will not work.
I like the possibilites that these cards are bringing to the game.
Still think savage is a weak ability guys? LOL. Ye had little faith in James. HAHAHAHA
Skaven and rush just met their match. It is called control/burn.
I am loving this expansion. The Carnasuar rider is going to be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: DISCUSSION - New German Government
I am out Monday-Wednesday. We should continue with the "New Germany"
series when we analyze the coalition. More of the coalition agreement
should be known by Monday, so here are just my thoughts on what I have
seen thus far. The government will be voted in on Wednesday.
The CDU(CSU)-FDP government has been decided today in the early morning.
The key issue was how much tax cuts there would be. FDP demanded $35
billion, CDU wanted only $15 billion. They agreed on $24 over four years.
The number seems to suggest that the FDP pushed CDU on this one hard, but
the fact they will accomplish the cuts over 4 years means that the CDU
pushed them on the deadline.
But this is not really about tax cuts...This is about Merkel finally
having the full control of the reins over an independent Germany.
I don't forsee a change in Berlin's core foreign policy goals:
strengthening the control over the EU, continuing to have strong economic
relations with Russia and looking to protect its exports. However, I do
expect Merkel to be more active and vocal about pushing Berlin towards
those goals.
FDP will mean that there will be FAR less "bro-hugs" and photo-ops in
Moscow, we may even hear a few quips from Westerwelle about human rights
and democratization in Moscow. DO NOT BUY IT. Merkel did the same thing
when she came in as Chancellor -- at the time it was "with Schroeder out,
Berlin will tell Moscow how it is -- and yet it's been nothing but butter
with Moscow. German economic interests are still firmly oriented towards
Russia. This is especially so with the current domestic upheaval in
Moscow. German industrialists are salivating at the prospect of being the
"West" that the Civiliki turn to for cash (look at yesterday's meeting
that Putin had with ThyssonKrup, VW and Siemens... the three heavyweights
of German industry). FDP is party of business. German relations with
Russia are as much about business as politics. FDP will therefore not rock
the boat.
Key issues:
-- Tax cuts + economic crisis
This is going to be the big issue for the government. FDP wants tax cuts,
but Merkel has gotten comfortable with getting directly involved in the
economy, buying out banks and going protectionist on Opel. She also
managed to stimulate growth by spending. This means that the combo of FDP
tax cuts and Merkel's interventionism may push the usually cost conscious
Germany into some crazy spending.
-- Nuclear power plants
We've written on this... It is now in effect...
http://www.stratfor.com/node/146381 \
-- Afghanistan
The coalition will review its troops after the big international
Afghanistan Conference early next year. That means they are not interested
in helping the U.S.
-- U.S. nukes out
Interesting issue. My take on this is that Merkel wants U.S. nukes out
just as much, if not a LOT more, as FDP. However, the media is making it
out that FDP "pushed" Merkel to include the withdrawal of the U.S. nukes
from Germany in the coalition agreement. Don't buy this as well. Merkel
wants FDP in the limelight on this one, because if she is seen as wanting
U.S. nukes out it will look Hitler reoccupying the Rhineland in 1936. But
I personally believe that this move is the 21st Century version of Hitler
reoccupying the Rhineland. By the way, Obama's administration will not
make a big fuss about this, but watch as various German neighbors throw a
ruckus about it.
Key figures:
Guido Westerwelle - Foreign Minister
As I said, there will be far less bro hugs with Moscow. But Merkel still
directs the core foreign policy, she does not shy from it. At the end of
the day, Westerwelle did not even want to be foreign minister, he knows
nothing about foreign policy, he does not care about it. Merkel will
continue to handle the "big issues", which means the U.S. and Russia.
Westerwelle will get to deal with Europe. He will be very palatable to the
Wolfgang Schaeuble - Finance Minister
This is a surprise. Shaeuble is 67 years old and longtime Interior
Minister. He is not liked in Germany, mainly because he imposed draconian
anti-terrorism laws. He was nicknamed the "new Stasi" due to the laws he
passed. He goes way back, way back to Kohl. He succeeded Kohl as leader of
the CDU, was supposed to be the Chancellor, but Merkel took him out in a
nasty fight. They hate each others' guts, but Merkel knows what
Schaeuble's strengths are. A lunatic tried to kill him back in the day, so
he is paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. So why is he now the Finance
Minister instead of the rising CSU star Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg? Most
probably because of two things: A) Merkel is getting ready to get NASTY on
the Landesbanken and the financial sector and wants to unleash the Stasi
dude on them, B) because Merkel wants to impose tough regulation on the
banks and wants Schaeuble to push back against FDP's protests. Zu
Guttenberg is too young and would have been easily pushed. I bet
Westerwelle is not even going to go into Schaeuble's office, he will be
too afraid that Wolfgang will eat him with some fava beans and a nice
Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg - Defense Minister
Say what?! The guy is 38 years old and is the most popular politician in
Germany, in some polls even going over Merkel. He is from CSU. Was the
Econ minister in the previous government and has no
security/military/defense experience. So why Defense? He is the MOST
pro-American politician in Germany. Now he is still German, but the point
is that he is pro-American. He is getting defense most likely so he can
explain to the Americans why Germany is not sending any more troops in
Afghanistan. (By the way, trivia time... his mom married the son of von
Ribbentrop, which means that Guttenberg's half-siblings are Ribbentrop
heirs... He himself also married the great-great-granddaughter of von
Bismarck... yes Bayless, she is SUPER hot.) -- Another side note: Germany
is decreasing the time for military service from 9 to 6 months. Now
everyone knows you can't teach anyone anything in 6 months. We should keep
our eyes open on this, Germany may be slowly moving towards a fully
professional army.
Rainer Bruderle - Economic Minister
Long time FDP Vice Chairman and since 1998 their economic spokesman. This
is a huge issue since they are essentially a party interested solely in
business and econ. He knows his stuff. Has been long time Minister of
Economy in Rhineland-Palatinate. He is expendable. If economy tanks, he
can be ditched.
The rest of the camp (from what I have managed to pick up thus far from
Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger - Justice (FDP)
Dirk Niebel - International Development (FDP)
Philipp Roesler - Health (FDP)
Thomas de Maiziere - Interior (CDU)
Franc Josef Jung - Defense (CDU) -- Former Defense Minister (demotion,
seen as a bumbler)

We found Cafe Iguana much tastier on our second trip. We started this meal with the seviche ($6.50), a marinated matchup of rock shrimp and silky-textured marlin that was so breezy and fresh it was like sucking on limes while swimming in the Gulf. The shrimp with jalapeno cocktail sauce ($6.25) exhibited the same brightness; the sauce was beautifully orchestrated, with just enough chile heat to bring up the rest of the flavors without overpowering them. Our only complaint: Both of these starters were served in long, narrow parfait-style glasses, and we had to mash the contents around in order to get them out, creating an unappetizing frog-in-a-blender design on the glass.
The Caesar salad ($4.50) also suffered from poor design. Whole romaine leaves had been stacked one on top of the other on a plate exactly the size of the lettuce--which meant that any attempt to cut the three-inch-high pile down to bite-sized portions shoved the whole salad onto the table. Consuming it just wasn't worth the effort, particularly since the dressing was standard-issue and the red-chile croutons numbered a whopping two. A much better way to eat our vegetables was the smooth, chilled gazpacho ($3.50) drizzled with lime cream. It tasted fresh and healthy, the perfect summer soup. The tortilla soup ($3.50), on the other hand, was a stew for all seasons: a thick, spicy mix of avocados, chicken, tomatoes and cheese.
Posole is usually another can't-miss soup, but Taylor's hominy-dominant variation of red posole backfired. This very dry, brothless posole did no favors for the garlic- and cumin-crusted pork ($7.95) that it came with. The pork itself, while well-cooked and filled with flavor, needed more than a few slivers of grilled bananas to balance its spiciness. The juicy charbroiled half chicken ($7.75) fared better because of its covering of mole negro, one of the holdouts from Taylor's old menu. This mole was dark and deep, seemingly packed with a thousand different seasonings. Still more spices showed up in the cinnamony chile-tomato sauce that arrived with the soft taco ($7.25). Iguana uses canela, a Mexican spice that has a rounder flavor and holds up better in sauces than regular cinnamon or cassia (a related spice that's often sold in the States as cinnamon). The bittersweetness of the canela offset the chile's heat and, when mixed with Asiago cheese and grilled sirloin, made for a very heady combination.
Taylor's talent for mixing and matching flavors is showcased in his chile chocolate cake ($4), a flourless version that he's served at Zenith for years (Zenith's pastry chef makes Iguana's desserts). We couldn't taste the ancho chile at all--you're not supposed to--but it was obviously responsible for the depth of the bittersweet chocolate sweetened with cinnamon. The flan ($3.50), too, was filled with cinnamon flavor, made sweeter with maple; the caramelized grilled pineapple and bananas ($3.50) were deceptively simple.
Although Cafe Iguana has come a long way from Oaxaca and the Yucatan, it needs to take a few more steps before its chameleonlike transformation is completely successful. Luckily for Taylor, he has a touch that needs no translation.

Cheers, Ben! I fully agree that these succulents make excellent candidates for bonsai...but, as you note, certain varieties lend themselves better to bonsai presentation. Your Crassula are brilliant! I was so eager to get some pics to add to this Thread that I was rather sloppy with my camera work. But I hope these give an idea of my various plants in progress...not even close to being "finished." Let's start with the largest leafed and least likely to have good proportions when small, Crassula arborescens "Silver Dollar Jade." |

Hi Josh, thanks for the pictures. I especially like your "Skinny Fingers" ... it already has a very nice shape. It is always interesting how the same cultivar could look under different conditions. Whereas your Skinny Fingers has more shorter tubes, mine developes very long and thin tubes ... although it is grown in full sun. However maybe there are also other reasons for, like the high mutability of this group of cultivars ... There exist a nice overview article about the Tolkien-group of jade trees where they note ... "This chameleon seems to change its form readily and the mutated branches can be easily propagated to produce a new cultivar." (Crassulacea No. 2 - Jan. 2013 - Crassula ovata Tolkien Group) You can find the article here: regards, |

Thank you, Ben, for the nice comments and the article address! Also, thanks for advising me on my oblique leafed Jade...had you not, I might have continued to remove those variegated leaves! When I purchased my 'Skinny Fingers' Jade, it did have longer leaves...but I've grown it hard, and the leaves have shortened. This is the same with my other 'Gollum' and 'Hobbit' Jade sports. If I re-pot them, I think they will grow more lush. That said, these are indeed very mutable sports, and a variety of leaf-forms appear on each from time to time. Josh |
I have a couple of Jades that I'm working on. This is the best looking one at the moment. Ben, Thanks for starting this thread. I'm a big Jade fan, and I enjoy looking at others pictures. Rob |

Hey, Rob, sorry I didn't come back to this Thread sooner. The Finger Jades ('Gollum' and 'Skinny Fingers') make the best "instant" bonsai, in my opinion. Great plants. Josh |
All these are great! I am new to bonsai and taking care of plants in general but i picked up a few jade plants for cheap over the past year and have been perusing the internet to see the possibilities. I will post pictures this week of what I have so far and maybe you lovely folks can give me some tips on how to best achieve a more presentable bonsai. -Brian |

I'm happy to contribute to this thread. I love bonsais and I love jades even more. Just whacked mine and finally got it into a bonsai pot. I'd love to see if I could expose some of the roots in the future. While the leaves are a bit large and mess with the proportions, I think it kinda works :) Variegated Crassula argentea/ovata |
Jade's fun to play with for Bonsai I'll post more later I've got a few cool twisted and knotted ones ~Zombie Trees~ The smaller one in front is around 4 1/2 years old |

This is so lovely. Would you mind telling us how you got your jade to begin growing on a rock ? Did you slowly start revealing more and more of the roots? |
Hey Thanx... I've tried rooting cutting in a pot Best way I've found so far is Now the hard part Hope That Helps |
And when you take the cup or pot off it'll look like this With time the soil & smaller dead roots will wash away Helping it out with the hose will speed things up / LOL I would say the main thing is just to give it time to form some really nice strong roots & anchor its self good before removing the cup I put a cup back around the one in the pic |

Hey guys all of your Jade trees are beautiful. I actually got one about 3 Months ago so that I can make into a bonsai. I have a little problem it's growing but the trunk and branches are still green and soft they're about 5-6 inches tall should I wait a little more time or is something wrong? Someone please let me know! |

Bon, you can pinch the new growth to shorten the plant and get it bushy. Josh |

Hey Josh, This is one of the three I have it looks pretty young but I just wanted to know how long until the branches/ trunk start turning brown. I did pinch out the biggest of the leaves which were about 2 and 1/2 inches long. I hope the picture helps so that you can help me. I don't know if you can tell but the first inch of the trunk is already brown |
- Posted by littlekirstenjr 8 (My Page) on Sat, May 24, 14 at 17:37
It's normal for the stems to be green, especially when it's a youngin' like yours! The "woody" part will slowly creep up the plant as it ages and grows, but it takes some time. I'm not sure what you can do to speed up that process. Perhaps putting it in more light may help, but I'm really just guessing. Time is really the only answer. |
- Posted by littlekirstenjr 8 (My Page) on Sat, May 24, 14 at 17:41
Dethcheez, That's awesome. Thanks so much for you mini tutorial. I now most definitely want to try your process. How long do you let the roots form over the rock while in the cup before removing it? |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, May 25, 14 at 14:07
Bon, as the others mentioned, lignification (the process of becoming lignified or woody) merely takes time. Lots of sunlight, fertilizer, and water will help the trunk expand rapidly, and as it expands the fissures and cracks and flakes will form, which will hasten the woody texture. New growth will always be tender and green. Bon, I would recommend that you pinch again: |

Oh please, he's having fun with his jades and trying different things. I think it's pretty cool. I can't wait to see how they all look once they start getting bigger. I need to get myself a small jade and start working on the root over rock idea. I have some pretty chunks of glass that I think would work well. |
Knock yourself out, just don't call it a bonsai (this is a bonsai forum). |

Relax, folks ;-) Everyone knows that regular Jade leaves are too big for bonsai, hahaha. A joke of course. I often say that my Jades aren't true bonsai but that they're grown in bonsai fashion (potted small, kept small), or that they're grown with a bonsai aesthetic in mind. Josh |

Good morning from the west coast! Here's my largest 'Hobbit' mother and daughter bonsai...beside a 'Crosby's Compact' that I hard pruned a while back. Josh |
***WARNING*** It's About To Get "Tacky" Up In Here LOL My first attempt at inter-twinning different plants The Gollum in the center is 2 - 3 years old The P. Afra & Red Tip (small "Y" tip cutting) were more recently added I guess for right now I'll let the P. Afra drape down between the Gollum & Red Tip One Way Or The Other |
And Now For Even More Unadulterated Tackiness ~Twisted Red Tip~ This ones around 4 years old I brake off any & all new off shoots that form |
I have around 30 some to 40 Bonsai (NOT one of which was store bought / All are form cutting or seed) Probably half of which are Jade So I can do this all day / LOL But Would Love To See More Pics Of Other Peoples Projects |
Hello all! Just stumbled across this forum. I am starting to propagate a baby jade plant I bought a couple months ago that I would like to "bonsai" (meaning a tacky, non-traditional "bonsai"). There are some great pictures here, and hopefully I can contribute some in the near future. |

Welcome, Krys. Deth, I have lots of little Jade projects....plenty of pics to come. These two cuttings are grown in pure, screened Turface, and bloomed last Winter for the first time. Josh |

The Jade on the left has bloomed every year since I received it as a cutting from a GardenWeb member in Oregon (taken from his motherplant). It has pinkish blooms that are very nice. The Jade on the right is a 'Crosby's Compact' that I rescued. I pruned it a year or two ago, but I haven't consistency pinched it, so it isn't looking its best. It has a smooth trunk that I like... Josh |

Here's a shot of the Jade that I've had the longest...my mother Jade, grown from the first cutting I ever propagated. I nearly froze it to death, but it survived. Josh |

Josh, I love that you have a table all to your jades. As it should be! After I pruned my variegated jade, I thought I was going to have all sorts of cuttings that would eventually root. But NONE of them made it and I'm bummed about it. The cutting were placed on top of dry soil and they all either dried out completely and shriveled up or they rotted even though I added absolutely no water. Something tells me that because my variegation is so intense, with a lot of my leaves on the cuttings being entirely white, that they weren't strong enough to root. At least that's what I'm telling myself. Still, the most intensely variegated were the ones to go first. I researched all about rooting jades and still can't believe ZERO of mine made it. Not even single leaves. I wonder what I did wrong.... :( |
littlekirstenjr Was that the one in the pic above Just tossing this out there & wish I remembered all the technical terms & what not But wonder if you having problems with them rooting has anything to do with the color Not enough color for photosynthesis & the plant can't sustain itself type of thing??? Just a Thought |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Tue, Jun 10, 14 at 12:35
Hello! Variegated Jades (the 'Tricolor' especially) are difficult to root. Few have success with them...and the greater the variegation, the less likely they are to root. It does, indeed, have to do with the lack of chlorophyll for photosynthesis. Here are a few more that are hanging out on this bench: |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Tue, Jun 10, 14 at 12:38
...and here's an update on my C. arborescens 'Silver Dollar' - one of my favorites. So stout. Not a great picture....I'll have to take a few more until I catch the proper angle to show this one off. Josh |
- Posted by littlekirstenjr 8 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 10, 14 at 20:44
Ok COOL. I thought I was a failed gardener/jade appreciator. I've had other succulents accidentally root for me, and yet, the only one I truly wanted to root was my variegated jade haha. Dethcheez, |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Tue, Jun 10, 14 at 21:35
Littlekirstenjr, I've had best luck propagating my jade by doing stem cuttings and putting them directly in water. I keep the cuttings inside under a light. It takes quite a few weeks, but strong white roots should appear. Make sure you change the water often and I test my water (I have acidic water with lots of chlorine, so I adjust my pH to be more neutral and let the water sit out for at least 24 hours). I have not attempted to propagate from leaf cuttings. What was odd during propagating was that some of the leaves were wrinkled as if they weren't getting any water, but were sitting in water. Once I planted them they filled out. |
These are all amazing! |

The patent wars between tech innovators Apple and Samsung finally might be dying down after a federal jury found last month that the companies had infringed on each other's mobile device patents. Most of the damages were awarded to Apple. Last week, the real patent news didn't come from a tech giant at all—it came from Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk, who announced the company would openly share its patent portfolio with the rest of the world.
"Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport," Musk said. "If we clear a path to the creation of compelling electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property landmines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a manner contrary to that goal. Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology."
Musk's blog post announcing the action emphasizes the size of the automobile market. "Our true competition is not the small trickle of non-Tesla electric cars being produced, but rather the enormous flood of gasoline cars pouring out of the world's factories every day." Musk adds that this move also is intended to help Tesla attract engineers who want to work for a cause, rather than just for a corporation.
Tesla is based in California's Silicon Valley, and this patent move shouts out to the company's tech neighbors as well as its automaking rivals. Last week, Wired magazine covered the story and quoted Julie Samuels, executive director of Engine, a public policy and research think tank. "A lot of companies in the high-tech space are dismayed with how the [patent] system is shaping up, so they're trying to come up with creative ways to navigate around the system and get back to the business of innovating and creating."
Tesla adds its name to the likes of Google, which has vowed not to take legal action on open-source products, and Twitter, which promises to use patents only for defensive purposes.
Bold thinking to mitigate risk
So, while the subject of your organization's patents might seem far removed from supply chain and operations management, consider the idea that might unify all business processes—innovation. Now, think about the following definition of "innovation risk" from the APICS Dictionary, 14th edition: "The risk of losing customers because another firm creates more innovative products." If you aren't thinking about innovation and how it relates to supply chain and operations management, you are leaving your company vulnerable.

Pikes Peak
Cascade, CO, 80809, United States
From its summit at 14,115 feet, Pikes Peak delivers panoramic views of four states, Colorado Springs, and the mountainous Continental Divide. A 19-mile paved highway climbs up the mountain—a journey that inspired poet Katharine Lee Bates to write "America the Beautiful" after she traveled up to the peak by carriage. The mountain includes hiking trails and picnic areas on the shores of Crystal Reservoir, but watch for wildlife like black bears and bighorn sheep. On the downhill journey, Glen Cove restaurant and gift shop provides a much-needed rest for both travelers and vehicle brakes.

I recently bought a weeping pussy willow tree like. The instructions say to cut the branches back to within 2 inches of the stem. Do you really cut all the branches to within 2" of the trunk or do you just trim the branches 2"? Mine has started growing green leaves vertically skywards, and I haven't yet cut the branches back because I am not sure how much to cut. If I cut to within 2" of the trunk, I would be cutting at least 10". Does that sound right? Also, is there a "right" way to cut them? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Bolt upright sprouts liable to be rootstock, needing to be cut out. Rest can wait until a year when you get a buildup of dead branches inside, then cut back all few to several inches beyond main framework right after bloom. |

Some teach that Paradise is a separate place than heaven, or the Kingdom of God and or the Kingdom of Heaven. Some say that Paradise and Abraham's Bosom are the same and are in the earth filled with the saved from the Old Testament. There are many variations of this taught.
Hearing another version, or rather, reading another version presented today I did a word search in my King James Bible and came up with these several verses:
"There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out." - Luke 13:28
In Luke 13 we learn that Abraham is in the kingdom of God. We learn in Luke 16 that the rich man in hell looked up and saw Lazarus in Abraham's bosom. We learn in 2 Corinthians 12 that the third heaven is up, not down and that the third heaven is paradise. Therefore paradise is not hades or under the earth, it is synonymous with the kingdom of God. Abraham's bosom is not a place like heaven, it's just being drawn close or embraced by Abraham.
As an aside, we also learn that it's unlawful for a man to utter what he heard from heaven, save for what the Holy Ghost has written in the Bible. Such at the very least discredits those like the little boy who claim to have been in heaven and returned.
I was going to ask why they do this but we already know don't we?
What say you folks?

A typical Eldorado lake bed tour takes customers age six and up speeding through vast, velocity-friendly desert sand atop a trusted all-terrain vehicle. Young riders can thrash land grains on one of the youth ATV models as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Although patrons are granted opportunities to ogle the formerly subaquatic terrain, the tour primarily strives to quench needs for speed with a full two hours of riding time. Tour guides refuel amateur gauchos with included liquid libations.
After every session on the range, refreshments await guests in Green Valley's Cease Fire lounge, a cozy space equipped with a popcorn machine and large-screen television. In fact, that's one several at Green Valley's clubhouse, which sports three more large-screens, plus a 70-inch television for movie nights or sporting events. Elsewhere, visitors can gather in the game room for rounds of billiards, shuffleboard, and pinball. Besides its recreational offerings, Green Valley's monthly classes and events include more gun-focused sessions, such as "target bowling," during which participants fire at rows of bowling pins.

Vegas Valley Gymnastics Center hopes to inspire confidence in children as well as adults, helping them hone their gymnastics prowess and mental focus with a variety of classes. Students of all levels?both recreational gymnasts and aspiring competitors?practice their skills at a fully equipped facility with uneven bars, a sprung floor, balance beams, and other apparatus. Students learn basic gymnastic skills that include skills like beam, floor, bars and vault, pommel horse, parallel bars, high bar, floor, and rings. Boys, girls, and tots classes are available.
Beyond gymnastics, the facility's varied schedule features dance lessons, cheer classes, and tumbling classes, which cover the fundamental techniques used in everything from cheerleading to court-jester internships.

Opened since 1984, Pro Cyclery on Charleston Boulevard in Las Vegas prides itself in excellent customer service, while providing several maintenance and repair services to avid cyclists and around-town riders alike. Typical mechanical services include basic tune-ups, drive train overhauls, complete breakdowns and ground-up fixes and wheel builds, to name a few. This large, open bicycle shop also fits bikes for each customer who purchases one, to ensure that every unique individual has the perfect and most comfortable bike. From wheels to several styles of bikes, and helmets to car racks, Pro Cyclery houses a wide display of products that meet every cyclist's needs. And if you're looking for the low-slung space, just keep an eye out for the iron-welded bike frame that protrudes from the roof – or the various colorful cycling banners and posters that hang from the windows.
The soaring peaks and red-rock lava flows of the River Mountains. The snaking gravel paths that form a ghostly memorial to a Hoover Dam railroad. The rippling waters of Lake Mead. At All Mountain Cyclery, these local sights headline daylong bike and kayak tours of the wilderness surrounding Boulder City. Located only a 30-minute drive from the famed Las Vegas strip and 10 minutes from Lake Mead, the cyclery rents out Specialized bikes and sells two-wheelers by big other big names, including KHS and Redline. With a fresh set of pedals beneath their feet, cyclists can confidently cruise down the manmade Bootleg Canyon single track. Gravity tows bikes down the steep path at full throttle, leaving riders free to focus on navigating the challenging terrain and throwing their sneakers at distracting birds.

The first 'real cooking' I remember doing was oeufs mollets aux fines herbes when I was about 8. My mother taught me, and I was allowed to make it for my supper about once a month. I graduated to Welsh Rarebit made with cider a year or two later - I was so proud when I made that for supper for my parents and a friend!
Nowadays I am a much lazier cook than I used to be - its many years since I made pastry, but I do usually cook from scratch once a week. I am currently teaching my (non-cooking) German lodgers some simple 'English student' food (can't really call them recipes!) - cheesy beans on toast and corned beef hash went down well. I've promised to cook them a proper English Christmas dinner before they go home.
I love cookery books, but rarely follow a recipe exactly.

Clinical Research Center
The Clinical Research Center (CRC) is an outpatient clinical research facility with skilled research nurses and a core laboratory which can also assists with inpatient protocols. More than 50 protocols and 100 investigators, on average, are supported by CRC resources. The CRC is located on the third floor of the University Hospital, room 3480.
UNMC investigators apply for use of CRC space, research nurse support and/or research lab support. Support is awarded based on three criteria: (1) the quality and significance of the research, (2) special need for the unique facilities of the unit and (3) the potential for the project to be eligible for extramural funding.
The CRC serves as a resource for the teaching and training of medical students, residents, fellows and other health providers in the skills of clinical investigation through a sponsored annual clinical research course, a quarterly clinical research coordinators workshop, review of fellow-sponsored research applications and individualized instruction on research billing.
TNMC in partnership with the UNMC College of Medicine has established the CT Research Support Fund. This funding program is a write-off fund that supports clinical research performed on campus. Protocols submitted for consideration are reviewed by the CT Research Review Committee for scientific merit, relevance and feasibility, once approved the costs of specified hospital charges for tests/services that are performed on campus are written off.
The CT Research Review Committee meets monthly to review applications.
The Committee meets the second Tuesday of the Month.
Protocols must be submitted 3 weeks prior to the meeting date.

Project Abstract
Four in every ten North Carolinians will develop cancer during their lives. It is evident that cancer is a major health concern as well as reflecting a major health disparity, not only in regard to gender and racial differences, but geographically as well. The Carolina Community Network (CCN) has set as its mission the reduction of prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer disparities among adult African Americans by leveraging longstanding university-community relationships and the community-based participatory research expertise at the University of North Carolina (UNC) to enhance and extend cancer education and research, research training, and cancer health policy in both secular and faith-based communities. Specifically, the CCN will: educate both researchers and community members about cancer health disparities and methods of ameliorating them; train a cadre of academic and community researchers to implement and disseminate best cancer prevention and intervention practices; conduct community-based participatory research; change treatment and care-seeking patterns for residents of the communities; and identify areas for the development or modification of health policy in the area of cancer prevention and treatment to ultimately eliminate cancer health disparities in North Carolina. The Carolina Community Network will form a pipeline of cancer education and cancer research projects that will be tailored and piloted in both secular and faith-based community settings. The long-term goals of the CCN are to: (1) improve utilization of beneficial cancer interventions; (2) increase the number of minorities in clinical trials and other forms of research; (3) strengthen the community's knowledge of cancer disparities and treatment; and (4) impact cancer prevention and control policies. The Carolina Community Network is well positioned to address these cancer health disparities because of the depth and breadth of the community-based participatory research expertise at UNC, availability of contrasting faith-based and secular community partners, and established ties to community groups.

Taco Bell, Say it isn't so!

High Quality AA and AF
Our high quality tests let us separate the men from the boys and the ladies from the girls. If the cards weren't struggling before they will start to now.
With HDR, AA and AF all enabled we can see that the 8800GTX continues to come out ahead with more then a 10% advantage.
Lost Coast shows huge advantages for the 8800GTS - nVidia's second top card against ATI's current top model.
Finally we leave with PREY which sees all the cards actually sitting together with no real difference between them.

"Very easy and very good. The bake time should be varied depending on how thin you cut your carrot strips. TIP: Never bake a new item in your own oven without checking it for correct doneness throughout the baking process. We love the recipe! Thanks!!"
"Yes, these are easy and yes, you get a nice light roll. However, they are pretty tasteless. I didn't use all the butter so perhaps that would make them a bit more tasty. I also substituted Greek yogurt for the sour cream to bring down the fat content, too. Perhaps the sour cream makes them taste better. So, if you are thinking of substituting..."
"This is the best-tasting and easiest recipe for soft caramels I've found. Tastes great, easy to do, no complicated instructions. Wonderful!"

My version came out fantastic, easy, tasty, the best of all worlds for an easy fantastic recipe. Don't use the flour, the caramel sauce, or the coconut. Instead, melt a 14 oz. bag of caramels with 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Make the browni..."

[1259] IgG4 Positive Plasma Cells in Sclerosing Variant of Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma: A New and Evolving Concept
W Tian, E Yakirevich, A Matoso, D Gnepp. Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, RI
Background: IgG4-related sclerosing disease is a recently described syndrome with unique histological features characterized by intense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates with increased IgG4+ plasma cells, & dense stromal sclerosis. The disease spectrum frequently includes benign inflammatory diseases, such as sclerosing pancreatitis, cholangitis & chronic sclerosing sialadenitis (CSS). Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common primary malignancy in the salivary gland. The rare sclerosing variant of MEC is characterized by dense stromal sclerosis & lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates. Our goal was to further characterize lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates with respect to IgG4 expression.
Design: Six sclerosing MECs from our pathology service over the past 20 years were selected. In addition, 11 regular MEC with lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates, 4 CSS, & 12 cases of non-sclerosing chronic sialadenitis (CS) were evaluated. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded sections were stained for IgG4 & IgG by IHC. Images were captured under 400X magnification that correspond to a field area of 0.0675 mm2. The number of IgG & IgG4 positive plasma cells was quantified in the same field from five different areas, & the IgG4+ to IgG+ ratio was calculated.
Results: The 6 sclerosing MECs were characterized by prominent sclerosis & dense lymphoid predominantly peritumoral infiltrates rich in plasma cells. None of sclerosing MEC patients had IgG4-related sclerosing disease. The absolute number of IgG4+ plasma cells was significantly increased in sclerosing MEC as compared to regular type (75 vs 20 per image field, P<0.05). Furthermore, the ratio of IgG4+/IgG+ plasma cells was markedly elevated in sclerosing MEC as compared to the regular type (46.5 vs 17, P<0.005). In CSS, absolute numbers of IgG+ plasma cells & IgG4+/IgG+ ratio were significantly increased as compared to CS (P<0.005).
Sclerosing MEC n=6 Mean (range) | MEC n=11 | CSS n=4 | CS n=12 | |
IgG4 | 75 (18-190) | 20 (3-42) | 52 (7-108) | 2 (0-11) |
IgG | 172 (54-279) | 108 (23-212) | 88 (37-152) | 63 (3-288) |
IgG4/IgG | 46.5 (22-75) | 17 (5-33) | 54 (30-79) | 4.5 (0-23) |
