I know we'll have lots of cold weather still, including more snowstorms up here in Santa Fe, but the last few days of seasonable warm (right around average high temps) have been very nice, and plants and animals seem to be jumping into spring.
Here, lots of daffodils and crocuses coming up, and some trees and shrubs starting to bud. I even found some peas sprouting up under my birdfeeder, and lots of green things beginning to come back where the snow recently was. What are the sings of spring where you live, and what gardening activities will you be doing in the upcoming days and weeks? |

I've seen a couple of ladybugs in my yard. Tulips began to pop up in a garden and a window box. The dogs dug up and ate the ones in the garden. Bearded iris are coming up. Luckily I put all of the beardies in areas the dogs cannot get to. I've seen a few volunteer arugula sprouts in one of the produce gardens. Last fall's arugula crop is producing. I've really enjoyed eating those fresh greens in recent weeks. Garlic has sprouted. The forsythia is forming buds. I've direct sown seeds for spinach and a few other greens early. I'll be interested to see how well they do. |

Signs of spring ... the sound of lawnmowers :) and the quail have definitely begun early breeding season behavior: they are still in flocks but the males are zealously guarding "their" female from any male who wanders too close. One lucky male has three (!!) females who have decided that he is suitable, and he's being run ragged trying to keep them safe from the other males. |

I see sprouts on my salvias. The geese flew north honking. My Rhemannia elata sprouted. I thought it died in last summers drought. I moved it to a wetter spot. My winter garden is starting to bolt. The spring garden is sprouting. I put the frost cloths away for the year. Daffodils and bulinella nutans are blooming. |

I heard a whitewing dove hooting outside my window yesterday morning, and my neighbor's ocotillos and honey mesquite are sprouting. Kevin : ) |

It looks like already this week will bring some of that cold weather that I mentioned above... but the thunderstorms yesterday were certainly exciting, and a nice reminder of the warm season weather. I've also noticed the ravens nesting, and the male curve-billed thrashers singing like crazy from their high perches. Also, lots of black-tailed jackrabbits out and about, which always seems to occur this time of year. Well, thanks for the interesting tidbits from your various places... |
In southern NM desert we are enjoying the increasing sound of the birds in the morning. The grey cardinals (Pyrrhuloxia)are very present, now in abundance, and the desert doves and cactus wrens have beginning to nest again. The willows are leafing out nicely in their lime green Spring finery. The palms are putting out new leaves, soon to replace those scorched by the winter nights. The Palo Verde trees are just starting to cautiously put out their new leaves; the Mesquite more cautious and wait until they are certain, usually around April 1. The desert wildflowers are starting, and with the winter rains, the Mexican poppies in the foothills of the Organ Mountains promise a great display later in the month. Lorna Organic ---- how did the ceanothus you planted a couple years ago fare? |
All the native stuff is still dormant. Strange. The oldtimers waited to plant chile until the desert willows (chilopsis) budded out. |
- Posted by lorna-organic (My Page) on Thu, Mar 18, 10 at 18:30
Desrtlvr, to my great disappointment, one of the Ceanothus died last winter. I'm waiting to see if the remaining one is okay. It feels dry to the touch, although I've been watering it faithfully. |

Our Fava beans just popped up. Garlic has been up 2 weeks. Mustard greens sprouted- but then stopped... |
- Posted by frdnicholas Albuquerque NM (My Page) on Sun, Mar 28, 10 at 10:19
My plum trees and peach tree have beautiful flowers; I just hope the wind stays calmer this season so we'll have some fruit. My pussy willow bush has lots on it and my pear trees are popping out. I am curious about the curve-billed thrasher and wondering if that's the name of the bird we saw last season. If so, he loved to throw our rocks and leaves onto the driveway looking for, I guess bugs. He was roughly a little bigger than a robin, and I believe was a dark grey color. He definitely had a large, curved beak. Are they native to Albuquerque? |
- Posted by fabaceae_native (My Page) on Sun, Mar 28, 10 at 16:08
Hope you don't have any hard freezes while those trees are blooming either! Last year was a good one around Santa Fe for all the tree fruits except apricot. The latter rarely escapes the late frosts here. Hope this year is a good one. I'll be interested to see how many weeks behind Albuquerque we are too. Yup, it does sound like a curve-billed thrasher, which is a common native year-round resident in much of the state. Look closely, and you should be able to see its red eye. The males sure are singing loudly right now... |
Our Spring winds are here as are the hummingbirds. The swallows are returning too. Yucca are putting up flower stalks, yesterday I noticed one starting to bloom. The smaller barrel cactus are setting flower buds and the carpenter bees are getting busy. The birds are singing like crazy and I see them carrying beakfulls of nesting material. It's supposed to hit 80 degrees here tomorrow. And windy. Feels good to have winter behind us! |

Yesterday seemed like the first real spring day here: relatively warm, and windy. I saw lots of migrating birds, including several turkey vultures, lots of hawks, and even a group of what I think were 5 American white pelicans, way way up (sometimes it pays to look up into the sky alot). Two weeks ago I caught a glimpse of a fence lizard, probably the first one I've seen since about November. Here in Santa Fe, the currant and elderberry bushes are just starting to leaf out, the junipers and elms are releasing pollen like crazy, and all the tough little herbaceous perennial plants are starting to come up. We have yet to see any fruit trees flowering (which is a good thing). It's really neat to hear what's going on in other parts of the state, for example, the swallows... I won't expect to see them at my house until late April. The old-timers used to say it was safe to plant out chiles when the swallows had returned. |

Leeds United Down To The Wire
Weekly League One news from Elland Road
Leeds United: Down To The Wire
Other Recent Leeds United Articles
So, nine months after Leeds United opened this incredible season against Exeter at Elland Road last August, United face their 70th game of the campaign on Saturday with everything still to play for.
It's all come down to the final 90 minutes of the League One campaign and on Saturday afternoon at Elland Road Leeds will take on Bristol Rovers knowing that a win will see United take their place in the Championship next season and anything else will likely put Simon Grayson's men in yet another play-off battle.
Last Saturday at the Valley saw gift horse number umpteen kicked in the mouth, as Leeds were presented with another golden opportunity, this time being only one goal away from wrapping up promotion. United pressed for a winner against Charlton that would have guaranteed Championship football next season, safe in the knowledge that Millwall were losing to relegation-threatened Tranmere, thanks to goals from ex-Leeds striker Ian Moore and on-loan United midfielder Andy Robinson.
Simon Grayson, to his credit, recognised this, throwing on five strikers, but United could not fashion any chances in the second half and were undone by a sucker punch when Richard Naylor headed into his own net with three minutes remaining.
A bright start from United gave way to a disappointing second-half performance, as the loudest cheers from the Leeds end in south London and also the 6,000 fans at Elland Road who watched the game on the big screen came from news of Tranmere's goals at Prenton Park.
Thanks to our new scouse best friends, United's loss doesn't really change things going into this weekend; a win and we're in. Elland Road sold out weeks ago, so Bristol Rovers will face a frenzied 38,000 capacity crowd in what is essentially another play-off final for United. With four other teams still harbouring dreams of second spot, anything less than three points will surely not be enough.
This also means yet another stressful week waiting for Saturday afternoon to roll by. This season is surely lowering the life expectancy of United's fans and we'd be amazed if the divorce rates in West Yorkshire haven't spiked since Christmas. Lord knows what will happen if we have to go down the play-off route again. Why do we do it to ourselves?
Over the next few of days it's a case of crossing everything, wearing your lucky pants or whatever your superstitions are and trying not to upset any colleagues, friends and family that don't understand the emotional mixer that being a Leeds fan at this time of year is all about. The result of the general election may well be second place for many Loiners, at least until 5pm on Saturday (unless, of course, the pro-United party We Beat The Scum 1-0 party upset the odds in Leeds Central on Thursday!).
So bring your best singing voices to Elland Road this weekend and we'll all cheer the lads across the line. Marching on together!

"The bottom line is if you don't get excited about playing a district game at home this late in the season, then why are you playing football," expressed Floyd. "This is why we train all year. This is what we work so hard for. These kind of games."
Both squads enter Friday's contest at Bear Stadium sporting four victories so far this season, but Bradley is 2-0 in District 5-AAA play, while the Owls are 1-2, having lost to the other two teams that are yet to lose a district game — Cleveland High and McMinn County. The Blue Raiders (4-2, 2-0) and Cherokees (5-1, 3-0) clash Friday evening at Benny Monroe Stadium.
"Every district game is important. We need this game to stay in the hunt for the district title," Floyd remarked. "Ooltewah had to deal with some suspensions and injuries earlier, but they had everybody back for the first time last week."
With all their weapons available, Coach Shannon Williams' Owls blanked Soddy-Daisy 48-0, posting 427 yards of offense, while holding the Trojans to just 61.
"They are a run-first team, but they have a good quarterback and some good receivers, who can hurt you through the air as well," stated Floyd. Ooltewah (4-3) gained 330 yards on 30 rushes in last Friday's victory, including touchdown runs of 25, 35, 43 and 55 yards.
"They (Ooltewah) had four running backs that are dang good," Floyd expressed. "All of them can make people miss and then out run others. We are going to have recognize their formations and stay in our lanes. They will want to try to get out to the edge and turn the corner. If they do, they're gone."
After opening the season with a 32-0 shellacking of Brainerd, the Owls handed fourth-ranked (4A) East Hamilton its only loss of the season with a late field goal for a 31-28 tally. Two weeks later the Hurricanes blew out the Bears by a 41-7 margin on one of Bradley's down swings.
Ooltewah did lose back-to-back games in a mistake-filled contest against Cleveland and a good old fashion 47-7 trip to the woodshed by second-ranked Siegel, before bouncing back to outscore East Ridge and Soddy by an 86-6 margin.
"Athletically they're as good as you get," Floyd assessed. "They have an explosive offense and a lot of speed that helps them make up for some mistakes they do on defense. They do a lot of stunting and have more 'Pick 6s' than anybody I've seen."
"We better come ready to play or it could get ugly," the Bear coach added. "We are still dealing with a few injuries, but we have shown we can still play at a high level when we want to."
Along with leading-tackler Alex Hopkins and starting defensive end Jordan Sharp, who are out for the season, Bradley will once again be minus starting offensive and defensive tackle DJ King. "DJ hasn't been released yet and won't be until next week," Floyd said of the 6-foot-2, 260-pound senior who suffered a knee injury five weeks ago in Soddy.
Bradley did get starting tailback Logan Fetzner back in the lineup last week, after he missed a couple of games, having been hampered by an ankle injury suffered in the second game of the season at Baylor. "It was good to have him back. We may been too cautious with him, but we want to keep him healthy," Floyd said of the junior's 14 carries for 61 yards.
The Bears are also expecting senior Nate Mills back in his linebacker spot after he was on the sidelines with his shoulder in a sling last week.
Like the Owls, Bradley (4-2) also shut out Soddy earlier this year in an impressive 35-0, in one of their better balanced efforts of the season.
While the Bradley coaches have been striving to get the Bears to a high-intensity level for each game, the "fire" hasn't been consistent on the gridiron this season.
"Yes we have had to deal with more injuries than I've had in my coaching career, but the fact of the matter is whoever is on the field for us, has to play with intensity on every play," proclaimed Floyd. "We can play with anybody we take the field against, but we have to play hard and win every play."
As for the Bear faithful, they are hoping Dr. Jekyll shows up Friday night against their longtime nemesis and that Mr. Hyde has made his last appearance of the season.

Bill now moves to Appropriations Committee.
A bill that would criminalize posting a minor's picture on websites containing obscene matter has moved out of the Public Safety Committee and is on its way toward approval.
AB 2104, authored by Assemblyman Cameron Smyth, would make preparing, posting, or publishing a photograph or image without the minor's consent punishable by imprisonment in the county jail, a fine or both. The bill now goes to the Assembly's Appropriations Committee for consideration.
Smyth proposed the legislation in response to earlier incidents of adult men taking photos surreptitiously of teenagers at high school sporting events, in and around the southern California Area, and then posting them to websites containing pornographic material.
"I am very pleased that we have now taken the first step in stopping these predators from participating in this disturbing behavior," said Smyth.
"I also want to applaud Assemblyman Jose Solorio (the chair of the Public Safety Committee) for his work with me on this bill. He showed leadership and the ability to put partisan politics aside and reach across the aisle in order to put the safety of our children first."
The bill now goes to the Assembly's Appropriations Committee for review.

What's worse than being stuck in a class that you strongly dislike, all year, because it was not what you expected it to be? The electives fair makes this nearly impossible for the students at Meadowbrook. On Jan. 7, Meadowbrook's seniors gathered in the auxiliary gym to host an electives fair for the underclassmen. During the electives fair underclassmen are able to preview electives before they sign up for them. They are able to talk to and interact with some of the students and teachers of the class. This way they can get a feel for the class and ask questions and receive answers from a student's point of view. One of the most popular booths was the computer science class. The instructor Mr. Peyton Chichester was very enthusiastic about recruiting new students which led to a very successful elective fair.

I got this as part of a gift set from Sephora. It is a very nice medium pink with shimmer. Smells lovely, isn't sticky and appears to have good staying power. I am wearing it over MAC Viva Glam V and it also looked good over Viva Glam III.
I received this as an extra in a swap. The first Stila lip product I have tried. It's a nice nude, neutral color. You can wear alone for a casual look or use liner to change it up. Not sticky. Not long lasting.
I do not intend to purchase.

I'm fairly new to buying and using high end makeup products. I've always just used brands like Revlon or Covergirl until recently. I have heard good things about Stila products and this starfruit lip glaze was my very first Stila purchase ever. I normally never wear gloss of any type on my lips so the whole experience was a new one to me. I have to agree with the majority that the packaging causes you to end up wasting product because its hard to know how many clicks to twist. I do like the scent and color is nice with a subtle hint of shimmeriness. After having it on over the top of my lipstick, I noticed it felt sticky on my lips. A very odd uncomfortable feeling. It made me not want to let my top and bottom lips touch so I did not like that at all. I read some of the reviews on this and a lot said it was not as tacky or sticky as most are. I may just stick to my lipstick only.
Love this shade - a warm pink with a slight peachiness. I can see tiny golden shimmers in the tube, but don't really detect them on my lips. Decent colour pay off for a gloss and I love that it isn't too heavy or sticky/gluey like some brands (you listening, MAC?!) Refreshing fruity smell upon application which I find dissipates quite quickly - but I can take or leave scent in my lip products, so that's not a problem. I have mixed feelings about the applicator - I love applying gloss with a brush, so it ticks that box for me, but I hate that the twist mechanism is difficult to control so is time-consuming and wasteful. One lippie off for the outrageous price - a whole lot of plastic, and very little actual gloss for your £15 (UK).
Nevertheless, I'm finding myself relying more and more on my Lip Glazes for day wear - and this shade will be a definite repurchase.
I love this color - a great pinky-neutral for my olive complexion and just the right amount of shimmer. I like to keep my makeup pretty natural and this is just the right amount of pop without being too much. I gave it 4/5 because it is really expensive (but I have yet to find a good d/s comp!). The packaging is okay - I always feel like you don't really get your money's worth from those kinds of applicators - but it is better than a wand-type applicator if you're on the go.
Love, love, LOVE this product. My girlfriends constantly ask me what kind of lipgloss I use when I wear this out. Def very flattering to my NC20 Yellow/Olive undertone complexion.
I'm not keen on the packaging but it works. The price is def outragious for a lip gloss but I always come back for more!!

I think this is my 2nd or 3rd one already! (i bought the other 2 in different colours!) & i have the starfruit lip glaze stick right now too! thats how much i love this colour! The glaze is a tad more sticky but also more glossy & sheer when compared to the stick! really gorgeous! Try it & you will get what we are raving about!
Best taste/smell ever! It has a tropical fruity scent (not necessarily starfruit, which is really puckery), more like passionfruit or mango. Sadly, it doesn't have too much color payoff. I got this in a trio of minis, along with Brown Sugar and Apricot. And Starfruit is the most pigmented of the three. Plus it has that wonky Stila click-click-click... it's not working... click-click... blob applicator. Oh well. I'll use it up just for the flavor.

I got the 8 piece set for Christmas and this was my first pick to try on. I didn't realize the color was so warm in the tube, it looked pretty neutral and pink. This is workable on my crazy cool complexion, but it makes my teeth look a bit yellowish :( Still, it's a very pretty and versatile color, and it seems to be a bit more pigmented than some of the others.
The formula is absolutely divine, I'm so glad I got a whole set!

It's opening night in the NHL and there's a lot to talk about. At least, there will be in about 2 hours when the first two games of the season are over and the Penguins/Canucks game is about to begin. By the way, you should watch that game because they are two of the best teams in hockey. That's right, I'm advising all you east coasters to stay up past your bedtimes. It will be worth it.
Sure, there are a few things happening around the league: I could talk about naked Ryan Kesler or point out that Sidney Crosby is, y'know, still not playing hockey, but instead I'm going to talk about something else that has been discussed to death: Crosby vs. Ovechkin.
For better or worse, the NHL has hitched its marketing wagon to the thoroughbred pair of Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin. While Crosby's concussion last season and long recovery period have illustrated the dangers of this style of marketing, it likely won't be changing any time soon. The marketing push of this dynamic duo has spilled out into endorsement and commercial deals outside of the hockey rink.
Crosby has an endorsement deal with Reebok and appears in their commercials and has appeared in commercials for Gatorade, Dempster's Bread, Tim Horton's, and SportChek. Ovechkin, on the other hand, has a new endorsement deal with Bauer and has appeared in commercials for CCM, Eastern Motors, and Capital One.
What do these commercials tell us about these two players? Who has the better commercials?
Sidney Crosby – Exhibit One
This early Crosby commercial perfectly illustrates the OMGIC Principle: the "Oh My Gosh, It's Crosby" Principle. Simply put, Crosby shows up somewhere you don't expect him to be and everyone around is in awe. You'll quickly see that most of Crosby's commercials use this principle.
Here, Crosby shows up at a kids' street hockey game, tosses his stick in, and takes a swig of his frighteningly blue beverage. The kids respond with OMGIC, as does everyone in the neighbourhood or, perhaps, the province, as a multitude show up to toss their sticks in the pile. It doesn't make me want to buy Gatorade. It makes me feel bad for the kids who had their street hockey game ruined.
Alex Ovechkin – Exhibit One
You will immediately see that Ovechkin's commercials don't operate on the same principle as Crosby's. He doesn't just show up somewhere and immediately get worshipped: instead, he's a weird guy who does weird things in weird places.
This low-budget commercial for Eastern Motors doesn't even bother with a plot or theme: it's just the outtakes of Ovechkin being weird. And it's magical. This is, of course, the commercial that entered "Shots Vodka" into the hockey parlance.
Sidney Crosby – Exhibit Two
In this commercial, Crosby tries to shed his white bread image by promoting brown bread. The wide-eyed and impressionable youth of Canada submit to the hypnotic gaze of Crosby and immediately everyone is eating whole grain bread. It's a little bit weird and creepy, actually.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Crosby commercial without an OMGIC moment, and this commercial provides the most disingenuous one ever: thanks to the use of a body double, there isn't a chance that Crosby and that kid were ever within 50 miles of each other during the filming of this commercial. Still, the kid's voice cracks like seeing Crosby just made his balls drop. Today, you are a man.
Alex Ovechkin – Exhibit Two
My favourite part of this commercial is that the kid is not the least bit surprised to see Ovechkin's disembodied head in his bowling bag. He's just a little concerned and a bit ashamed. This is because Ovechkin is a weird guy: who knows what he'll do? It's not surprising to see his head in a bowling bag, not shocking. It's almost expected: Ah yes, of course it's Ovechkin's disembodied head. Why wouldn't it be?
Also, if Ovechkin's disembodied head told me to practice hockey, I'd probably do it. Just saying.
Sidney Crosby – Exhibit Three
Similar to the Gatorade commercial in Exhibit One, Crosby goes to play hockey with some little kids, but this time a bunch of rude Torontonians don't show up to ruin everything. Hopefully Crosby didn't pull a Jonathan Toews on any of those kids.
Again, we have the OMGIC moment, except this time it's in Narnia.
Alex Ovechkin – Exhibit Three
Little known fact: Ovechkin is actually legendary Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin with bizarre magical abilities. In his extraordinarily long life, he has learned that the best conduit for psychic energy is vanilla wafers coated with caramel, peanuts, rice crisps, and chocolate. With this magic wand in hand, he is able to accomplish extraordinary feats.
But really, that's just a terrible snap. That's almost as bad as this David Baas atrocity. That said, David Baas got a 5-year, $27.5 million contract from the New York Giants this offseason. So there's still hope for skinny, young Jonah Hill. Ladies.
Sidney Crosby – Exhibit Four
This is the Platonic form of OMGIC. It is the purest example of OMGIC that I have every seen. The entire concept of the commercial is OMGIC. Crosby is in a place he shouldn't be – working at Sportchek – and the young lad and his father are completely dumbstruck by his presence.
They probably would have just preferred a signed picture. You can't disappoint a picture.
Alex Ovechkin – Exhibit Four
This is the closest that Ovechkin gets to the OMGIC principle, but there's just not enough OMG in the reaction to make it the same. "Late Night Filings" isn't quite as classic as "Shots Vodka," but it would make a great title for a highlight reel of Ovechkin goals.
This commercial takes place in a world where the Cold War never ended and ESPN keeps top secret documents in an unlocked filing cabinet in their main office. I think that's the plot of a Tom Clancy novel, though the book is bogged down with dry, technical descriptions of Ovechkin's hockey gear and the ESPN filing cabinet.
The most unrealistic part of this commercial is that it's for ESPN.
Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin – Exhibit Five
Finally, here's proof that the two do their best work together. This is the best NHL commercial ever and should be the blueprint for future collaborations. I want to see Crosby putting a whoopee cushion under Ovechkin's spot on the bench. Then Ovechkin will retaliate by tying Sid's laces together. Then Crosby will fill Ovechkin's hotel room with foam packing peanuts. Then Ovechkin will punch Crosby in the face because he's unpredictable like that.

Have prot warriors been left behind? {WoW}
Mar 13th 2008 4:18PM If there are three tanks you want one paladin, one druid and one warrior. No class but warrior sees a problem with this. You don't now look at "needs 5 healers" and think "needs five holy priests", and you shouldn't look at "needs 4 tanks" and think "needs 4 prot warriors".
Do I think there are a glut of prot warriors? Of course, but this is because it used to be the kings. And I think a lot of resentment against prot warriors comes from the ego that built up when they were essential, unique and required. That's not true any more, and I wish warriors would stop acting like this is some sort of crime. Warriors are like the spoiled children who have finally discovered that there are other kids who get to use the playground too.
The game now supports about a third of the prot warriors it used to, but the game is also growing still. Over time things will even out, but in the meantime don't assume that just because there are three times as many of you there should be three times as many roles for you to play.
Prot Paladins display their unrivaled threat generation {WoW}
Mar 10th 2008 11:06AM For Kael you not only are looking for a warrior, you are looking for a warrior with improved defensive stance. Alternatively you are looking for someone with 24k+ health, which is, let's face it, easiest for bears, easier for Paladins and wicked hard for warriors to hit at that gear level.
We use warrior tanks because, seriously, what else are you going to do with these sad warriors standing around looking lost? If we could we'd trim it down to two warriors (who'd rotate) and grab a pair of paladins and a pair of druids as the other rotating tanks. T6 content only needs 3 tanks, and padding out the healing or dps on pulls with one tank is a major win.
And really, there are times when a bear is the right answer. "How high is your health?" the boss asks. "High enough," says the bear.
On age discrimination {WoW}
Jan 4th 2008 12:40PM So I lied about my age on the internet for years. More, I participated in WikiWikiWeb, where comments could be completely anonymous. Why? Because people discount, patronize and generally treat you like a second class citizen when they discover you are under age 20 and the internet is the one place where I could have real discussion where people took me seriously. Now that I'm well over that age I try my best to keep that in mind when dealing with modern young people.
Look, we're playing a game. Yes, it is a social game with a social component, but it's still a GAME, with no real-life consequences. And we're PLAYING. Isn't that the definition of immature? And cursing constantly, yup, sounds like something teenagers do. The skills required for raiding are things that the newer generation is simply better at than the old. Smart kids can balance their homework and raiding the same way you can balance housework or time with your spouse/children. Understanding parents help them, just like understanding spouses will support your raiding habit.
I have met 30-year-olds in this game who use l33t speak and are jerks to the people around them. I've met 50-year-olds who loved to play but didn't understand their class. I'd much rather play with the kid who's excited, engaged, up on his class, role and expected behavior than an adult with entitlement issues, poor grammar and flaky commitment schedules. If you are saying 18+ because you want to be able to curse, fine, but know that the smart kids are going to tell you they are 19 or 20 and you will never know the difference.
Then again, I have an alt with whom I lie about my gender still for the same reason. Not with my main raiding group, but sometimes I like to skip out to Kara or 5-mans and get to be part of the crowd instead of a weird outsider no one takes seriously.
The internet is slowly making things like age and gender as irrelevant as they can be. When all that's left to judge you on is your behavior, how will you measure up?
Insider Trader: Some disenchanted evening {WoW}
Dec 21st 2007 3:26PM I am a rogue. If disenchanters are going to keep shards, I'd assume I get to keep the loot from the chest. After all we both leveled our "gathering" professions, right?
Shards are the expensive part of any enchant and we all need enchants. The way I get mine are through 5-man runs. I've *never* heard of enchanters getting preferential shards, and any that insisted on it I wouldn't run with. Period. You aren't willing to share loot, I'm not willing to help you get it.
When I'm on my enchanter I disenchant things no one needs. When you are on yours you do. The "gathering" part of your profession was all the 30 silver quest rewards I vendored off that you get to turn into real cash, or disenchanting your old gear when you get upgrades.
I will mule for guild/raiding alliance runs, but I roll on the spot in PUGs. I've had too many PUGs fall apart or disconnect or the disenchanter hop through a portal (probably innocuously) to be comfortable saving them for the end.

Dec 21st 2007 2:27PM Rogues aren't getting buffed.
Rogues of nearly any spec will do less damage after the patch, with the one exception of deep subtlety daggers. Shadowstep's sprint means it's possible it won't be completely useless (lag means you nearly always landed out of range), but it is not a real "buff".
I'm sorry, but 5% less damage on Subtlety's main attack multiplier is not a buff no matter how happy the ShSers are that the rest of us are getting nerfed.

Insider Trader: Gatherers behaving badly {WoW}
Dec 10th 2007 2:48PM As a transmute specialist I payed 400g for a chance at those extra procs. I have two options I offer; One, I have mights already made up and you can pay me for the use of my transmute timer. 5g is reasonable, since I'm giving up about 15g in opportunity cost of not transmuting earth to water.
Alternatively I charge 30g for a transmute where all procs are yours. I will invite you into the group, transmute next to you, and hand them all back. Note, though, this may not result in anything since I haven't gotten a proc since 2.3 came out.
I have people demand that I sell any procs at some reduced rate and so forth, and I don't think they understand that if I wasn't doing this for them it's a straight-up 15g money maker for me, with an additional chance of up to 120g bonus. I'm not handing them things I've paid good money for the chance to get without some form of compensation. Even when I transmute for guildies none of them expect any extras to come for free; generally they are happy that they can get their batch in one day from the quantity I try to keep on hand.
WoW Moviewatch: A commercial parody {WoW}
Dec 10th 2007 2:09PM This commercial is... mostly kind of sad. Ah, well, they can't all be winners.
And I agree with Jess; I'm pretty annoyed that with 5 commercials they couldn't find a single woman. How are little girls supposed to grow up to be corpse-camping jerks without solid rolemodels? Seriously, though, as a woman gamer it's all the more alienating when the company doesn't seem aware of your existence, on top of all the stupid garbage you have to deal with from your fellow gamers.

But it's better to do the same you might do for a slow-moving computer: shut it off and wait a minute. Give yourself the opportunity to regain your composure. In a meeting that's going nowhere? Take a break.

Promotional Products : A Winning Margin
October 2009 By Erik CagleSenior Editor
WHAT WOULD you say if we told you that you could earn as much as a 40 percent margin on a product you wouldn't have to manufacture, or need to inventory, and wouldn't require any ramping up funding? And what if we told you that this product would be desirable to the customers who are already purchasing your printed products?
By this point, your BS detector is probably going off louder than the most obnoxious car alarm. You maintain a polite smile, perhaps nod and add a impressed "hmm" for full effect. Be sure to furrow your brow to give the impression of focusing on what's being said.
Curiously, as much as the opening paragraph sounded like an intro to a cheesy cable television informercial, it also happens to be 100 percent true in the case of promotional products. Many commercial printers sell them to supplement their other product and service offerings. Relative to the balance of a printer's capabilities menu, promo products are uncomplicated.
It's hardly a well-kept secret, as different organizations estimate the industry at around $20 billion per year. But, for those not actively selling promotional products, there are some obvious questions. Are they easy to sell? Is there a learning curve involved? How do you go about selling them? Do you go through a distributor or do it on your own? What are the hottest products? What products should you offer?
We'll try to answer as many questions for you as possible, drawing on some prominent experts from the promo products industry.
Are promotional products easy to sell?
This is one area where printers can add a profit center without any capital investment, notes Gregg Emmer, vice president and chief marketing officer at Battavia, OH-based Kaeser & Blair, one of the industry's master distributors. "It's a natural because printers are typically involved in the early phases of a client's marketing/advertising campaign," says Emmer, who himself joined Kaeser & Blair after a long stint in the printing industry.
"Being able to coordinate a promotional component, along with a graphic component, puts you in at ground zero. You can coordinate designs, colors, etc., at a place where you can touch the fringes of agency work, because you're providing more than one component."
Printers that work with agencies, he says, likely have a month's head start on the competition when they inquire about promotional components of a marketing campaign.

CHS and MVHS boundry change!
We do not understand why the school district decided to do the boundary change now, after the fact of that we have already signed up for our classes, and went to the open house. Just after we were all getting comfortable with our Mountain View soundings, the school district dropped the bomb saying that the neighborhood Crossroads and the Surrounding neighborhood is now in the Centennial district. In the letter it said that, the 09-10 freshmen, sophomore, and juniors were all going to Centennial starting the 09-10 school years. Later the school district decided that only the 09-10 freshmen in the area should be sent to Centennial while the others could go to Mountain View. I later found out that if anybody of the freshman in the boundry change area have an older sibling attending MVHS, that person is aloud to attend MVHS, while the others without relitives going to Mountain View have to attend Centennial. Why why should someone with an older sibling attending, should be aloud to go Why are the 09-10 sophomores and Juniors Continuing going to Mountain View when the freshman canâ

We are in the same grade and we live right next door. In two years we will be going to two different school. I even live closer to MVHS then she does.

Tucked away down a flight of stairs in a reworked 1900s horse stable, this unfussy four-year-old shop looks more like a chill basement hangout than a store. Guided by three retail veterans—Tina Burgos and Dave Nauyokas are Louis Boston alums, while Jon Callahan worked for Ermenegildo Zegna—the selection focuses on one-of-a-kind-feeling pieces. Ribbon-festooned Lizzie Fortunato necklaces, woven L.D. Tuttle flats, and smock tops from A.P.C. are all winning options.

After lying dormant for perhaps a year or more, SBC Today is up and running strongly again. And, while Dr. Steve Lemke, Provost and Professor of Philosophy and Ethics at The New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (proudly my own alma mater) seems to be the predominant writer on the blog, there exists a wide range of contributors--both academic and cleric--who offer solid commentary on a plethora of issues relevant to Southern Baptists >>>
In my view, SBC Today holds the greatest promise among Baptist blogs in offering credible content reflecting a robust Southern Baptist heritage. Below are just a few examples of what's been cooking in the pot:
- On Generational Discipleship by country music legend, Allen Jackson. Just kidding. Dr. Allen Jackson is Youth Ministry Professor at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary*
- A two-part series by Dr. Dan Nelson, Pastor, First Baptist Church, Camarillo, CA entitled "Twelve False Assumptions People Make About Baptists" (part 2)
- A four-part series by Dr. Lemke following-up on Dr. Brad Whitt's influential essay, (Young, Southern Baptist, . . . and Irrelevant?) which, in a round-about-way, made young Whitt the poster-boy of expressed dis-rest among grassroots Southern Baptists concerning the way some of the leaders are steering the SBC. Dr. Lemke's series "The Shot Heard 'Round the SBC" is definitely worth your time (part b, part c, part d)
- Integrity in Preaching by Dr. Thomas Douglas, Pastor, Parkway Baptist Church, Kansas City, KS
- Baptism-Lite--SBC & Spontaneous Baptisms by Tim Rogers, Pastor, Ebenezer Baptist Church, Indian Trail, NC
- Accepting New Church Members: A Biblical/Baptist Perstective by Robin Foster, Pastor, Immanuel Baptist Church, Perkins, OK
Thank you, Dr. Lemke and others, for a great resource.
With that, I am...
*for the record, it's ALAN Jackson who profoundly suggested there're ain't nothing wrong with being little bitty

Hi there, My husband and I purchased a Simmons Beauty Rest World Class Connaiseur Imperial matress last night at Sleep Country Canada and it is being delivered next Saturday. It felt incredibly comfortable in the store, so soft and I felt like I could have fallen asleep then and there which for me is huge!!! We went online afterwards and were trying to find some reviews for it and all I can find is people talking about Beauty Rest matresses in general and how they are comfy to begin with but then become lumpy, or saggy, etc. Do you have any ideas about this mattress and it's overall quality? It was about $3800 canadian regular price but we got it at the year end clearance price of $1900 canadian, I figured it was a great deal and we couldn't go wrong. Any opinions? There is not much out there about this specific mattress. Thanks!!
Hi Kirsten,
Most of the complaints you read are about models that sell really well...the plush and the pillowtops.
If what you bought is a "plush" or a "plush pillowtop", you can expect the same results as everyone else. $3800 is an inflated price. The perception of a bargain at $1900 is the illusion created by the inflated price.
A top line Beautyrest World Class sells for $1358(US) for the king set.

It's no secret now that Rick Nash may not be long for the city of Columbus. Pretty much every media outlet – incuding this, the world's greatest hockey blog – has been speculating on where he may be playing in two weeks time.
With all of the guessing on where he may land, along with Jeff Carter and Fedor Tyutin I can't help but ask: Should Scott Howson really be the man making these decisions?
I think it's pretty clear at this point that Howson is a lame duck GM. This was supposed to be the best Blue Jackets team in franchise history and they flopped massively. Not only are they more than likely going to draft first overall, it's back to the drawing board from top to bottom in the organization. Obviously the struggles of the team are not squarely the fault of Howson and his staff as the Jackets had several things work against them over the course of the season. With all of that in mind however, does Howson survive the season? I can't fathom a way that he does.
Now, call me old fashioned, but I wouldn't leave potentially world altering decisions at my club to a guy who I know I'm going to can the first hour after the season ends. Don't get me wrong – this isn't a slight on Howson himself, I'm sure the guy knows hockey. But we know that in 21st century sports somebody has to bite the bullet for failings this spectacular.
In fact, if I'm the Blue Jackets brass right now, I have Howson under strict orders to not do anything without top to bottom consensus at the top of the organization.
A nice comparison of situations came courtesy of theScore's web editor extraordinaire/baseball aficionado Mr. Darren Kritzer. It's not unlike the situation the Toronto Blue Jays found themselves in with one Roy Halladay. If you recall, the Jays were close to dealing Halladay at the trade deadline during the final season of J.P. Ricciardi's tenure. However, since it was basically a foregone conclusion that Ricciardi would be canned at season's end, they didn't get anything done, Alex "The Ninja" Anthopolous was hired at season's end and his first order of business was trading Halladay. All told, the Jays got a good haul for the Good Doctor and Anthopolous set the tone for his tenure which has seen him become widely acknowledged as an elite GM in baseball. If I'm the Columbus Blue Jackets, I'm leaving this task to my AA.
Give us your CBJ thoughts. Should Howson be trusted during his final act? I say no. Wait out the season, hire a new manager and have them make their mark. No trade clauses may be an issue down the road, but I can't imagine that the Jackets would need to twist arms to get people out of there.

If you're looking to upgrade your wireless network's capability to the newly released 802.11ac spec, there is certainly no shortage of products to help. In fact, like the days of wireless N, manufacturers are offering multiple devices, filling each performance niche in the market. While this is a good thing for users that want certain speeds and capabilities, it tends to clog up the market and lead to confusion of "what router do I buy?"
As we mentioned above, 802.11ac has introduced several markets for vendors to fill, and as such they have begun to do so with AC600, 750, 1000, 1200, 1300, 1750 and 1900 routers. At any rate you get the idea, the market has expanded rapidly and even more than ever before.
The D-Link DIR 868L is an AC1750 wireless router, as such it is also the top of the line when it comes to D-Link's portfolio. Capable of 1.3Gbps on the 5GHz band and 450Mbps on the 2.4GHz band, the 868L certainly offers, in marketing, top tier performance capabilities.
Though, we won't go into too much detail now as we're not quite sure if it has the increased range that makes the upgrade from 802.11n worthwhile.
Let's take a close look.
Pricing and Availability
As of this writing, the D-Link DIR-868L carries a MSRP of $189.99. However, I was able to find at several online retailers it priced at $169.99.
Availability is quite high at this time with Google shopping listing the router at 15 stores.

[1964] Experimental Segmental Glomerular Sclerosis with Capillary and Podocyte Cystic Dilatation – Electron Microscopic Studies
J Jackson, K Griffin, A Bidani, M Picken. Loyola Univ Med Ctr, Maywood
Background: Focal and segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) is the most frequent morphologic manifestation of glomerular injury seen in human biopsy material. Its etiology is diverse and the morphologic spectrum is not well defined. Recently, attemepts have been made to dissect FSGS into specific clinico-pathologic entities based on morphology. We previously reported on a distinct form of FSGS associated with experimental nephron reduction, podocyte toxicity and hypertension. Here, we report further electron microscopic (EM) studies of this model, which shed light on the capillary wall and podocyte contributions to the development of FSGS.
Design: Male rats (∼250g, Harlan) underwent ½ and ¾ surgical nephrectomy, followed by a single dose of puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN)(75 mg/kg IP) 14 days after surgery. The animals were sacrificed at 4 weeks post PAN, and kidney pathology was evaluated using paraffin sections (H&E and PAS stains) as well as EM, using semithin and ultrathin sections.
Results: Animals developed massive proteinuria, hypertension and FSGS. While less than 10% of glomeruli showed classic FSGS, many more glomeruli (20-30% depending on the type of procedure) showed cystic changes within the tufts that were readily discernible in paraffin sections. These cystic spaces clustered within a single or adjacent glomerular segment(s). There was a spectrum of lesions ranging from segmental cystic dilatation to frank sclerosis. The earliest changes showed pure segmental cystic dilatation not associated with mesangial matrix increase or loss. Frequently, these cysts were seen first in the hilar region, either centrally or laterally. In more advanced lesions, an increase in mesangial matrix and capsular adhesions became apparent. While many cysts eventually became obliterated, some persisted into more advanced stages of sclerosis. Semithin Epon sections and further EM studies clearly demonstrated that while some of these cysts represented dilated glomerular capillaries, numerous pseudo-cysts developed within pododcytes. Their development was followed by the formation of capsular adhesions, which in turn formed a nidus for sclerosis.
Conclusions: In this model we have shown that the development of FSGS is preceeded by the development of abnormally-shaped capillary channels with capillary dilatation and characteristic cystic changes within podocytes. EM studies, in particular semithin sections, were very helpful in discerning the earliest lesions. If similar changes occur in humans, their early detection may be important for prevention.

Why New Jeans Stain Your Hands (and Clothes)
Ever noticed that after you wear a new pair of dark jeans, you end up with Indigo dye on your hands, your shirt, your purse, and whatever else comes in contact with your pants? There's actually a name for this—crocking—and it happens naturally with most denim. (You have to use a lot of ink to get a rich color.) Here's how to handle, and maybe even prevent, blue stains:
▪ Look for a label warning the denim may bleed. If there isn't one, rub white paper against the fabric to check for residue.
▪ If there is any risk of crocking, wash the jeans before wearing. Launder them alone in cold water so the dye won't damage other items.
▪ If the dye has smudged onto other clothing, pretreat the area with a stain remover, then wash in cold. Repeat as necessary without using the dryer until the stain is gone.
▪ If the indigo rubs off on a dry-clean-only garment, upholstery, or leather, seek out a professional cleaner.

Olympia Brown disagrees with Steve Cross
Science communicators are a community, she argues.
In the last issue of People & Science [1], Dr Steve Cross laid out why he doesn't feel part of a science communication community.
The political divides that Steve mentions are undeniably there, but I feel there is more that brings us together than separates us.
I find Science Communication as useful a label as any. I don't disagree with Steve that there is a huge diversity in approach, from historians of science to pharmaceutical PR teams to science showoff participants.
Like a giant octopus, there may be no connection between the arms, but I would argue they all meet at a central point.
Common values
We all value science, technology, engineering and maths. I suggest something like 'Science is an interesting and useful part of life, and I want to help more people to use it, appreciate it, engage with it and understand it.'
That's not to say we agree with everything done in the name of science. But by using the methods of science, from data analysis to logical argument, scientists and science communicators can stand up to multinationals and totalitarian regimes.
Feel the passion
I was also disappointed by Steve's dismissal of people who cheerlead for science as being ignorant of what they're doing, lazy, or pulling the wool over their audiences' eyes.
In science communication, we can navel-gaze for hours, thinking about the wider societal implications, the politics, and the dominant hegemony of the military-industrial complex. But sometimes, I just want people to feel the passion for new ideas and different ways of seeing the world. I think science is wonderful, just as I think it's challenging, messy, controversial and actually quite hard some of the time.
But, if we are not passionate about science, why are we doing this?

Emerging New Genres in Distance Education: The Video Syllabus
The Positive Impact of Video The scholarly support for the incorporation of video files into distributed learning environments usually includes an often-cited pedagogical-psychological principle that calls for the accommodation of multiple learning styles (Rief and Heimburge 1996). Students retain a higher percentage of the course material if it is accessible through multiple sensory channels, such as reading, seeing, and hearing (VideoPerception.com). As the results of Hee Jun Choi and Scott D. Johnson's study indicate, "videos in online courses have the potential to enhance learners' retention and motivation" (215). Learners report that "video-based instruction [is] more memorable than […] traditional text-based instruction" (215). Delivering information in multiple forms is promoted by NCTE's guidelines, which assert that "integration of multiple modes of communication and expression can enhance or transform the meaning of the work beyond illustration or decoration" (http://www.ncte.org/about/over/ positions/category/ media/123213.htm).
