Rochard Backstage Part 1: The Music (Sneak Peek)
We hinted a few times at backstage material coming your way…now it's time for a sneak peek!
The first part of our Backstage focuses on music: Creative Director Burt Kane and Producer Markus "Captain" Kaarlonen from Poets of the Fall sat together to speak about the 80's inspired soundtrack of Rochard.
While there is still a bit more waiting to do for the whole video, we want to give you a little preview of what you will get approaching the release of the game. Enjoy!

In the Latin liturgy, the sacramentary is the book used by the celebrating bishop or priest alone for vocal prayers during the Mass (the Prayer, Secret, and Postcommunion, and movable parts such as the Preface, Communion, etc., and the Canon), the prayers used at special functions in connection with the Mass (e.g., Baptism on Holy Saturday, processions), the prayers used by a bishop at ordinations, consecrations of churches and altars, prayers of exorcisms, and blessings which are now to be found in the Pontifical and Ritual. The following are the most important Sacramentaries:
- Roman Sacramentaries, including the Leonine, named after Pope Saint Leo I
- Gelasian Sacramentary ascribed to Pope Gelasius I
- Gregorian Sacramentary edited by Pope Saint Gregory I
- British Isle Sacramentary
- Gallican Sacramentary
- Ambrosian Sacramentary
- Sacramentary of the Cathedral of Toledo, known of from the testimonies of the Visigoth or Mozarabic Liturgy

What are the problems encountered in bio-intensive gardening?
Since this type of gardening focuses a lot on soil building, it can be realtively extensive for those without the time that may be involved. However, this is a great way to improve the soil quality and produce healthy plants organically. To learn more about biointensive gardening, this article should help: http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/organic/biointensive-planting-method.htm
I have tree trunks in my new yard. How do I get rid of them or make them rot faster?
The best you can do without manual removal is to make sure it rots faster. Drill some holes in it and fill them with a high nitrogen fertilizer, then water the stump. Repeat this every few months and the tree stump should rot quickly.
What are the benefits of Epsom salts to plants?
It helps add calcium to the soil. Plants need calcium to grow well, particularly fruiting plants like tomatoes and squash.
As I was planting flowers (annuals and perennials) in the garden this weekend, my husband was sprinkling peat moss in the flower beds with a shovel. Very often the peat moss would land directly on top of the new plantings. I asked him to avoid getting the dirt on top of the flowers, not only because it didn't look good but may also inhibit their growth (like clogging pores). He laughed at me and said the wind will blow the dirt away and the plants don't have pores.
Could you let me know if there is any truth to what I may have been thinking, or are you laughing at me too?
Plants do have "pores" called stomatas. Peat moss is unlikely to clog them though. But it is not a good idea to cover the leaves of a plant as it can keep sunlight from reaching the plants leaves, which is how the plant creates energy to grow and flower. With indoor plants, dust often can keep a plant from performing at peak, and this would be similar. Fortunately, a quick wash down with water will wash the peat moss off.
Please explain how I can provide the best conditions to encourage reblooming.
It really depends on the plant. Some plants can be encouraged to rebloom through deadheading (http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/deadheading-flowers.htm).
Others need a dormancy period. While still others need a cold period.
Most plants appreciate a dose of phosphorous to help them with blooming and making sure they are getting the correct amount of light is essential.
Can I use Bonide spray oil with Miracle Gro?
Yes, but I would use them a week apart.
Can you give me some ideas for a project for kids 7-12 yrs old? This 'workshop' will be 1-2 hrs long, 6-12 kids inside a greenhouse on tables. I need to use fairly inexpensive materials. Have available all kinds of plants-greenhouse and nursery. Past projects have included: moss garden, herbs, built a birdhouse.
You could try a "grocery store garden". You can pot up things like pineapple tops, avocado seeds, potatoes, sweet potatoes and carrot tops, which will all grow for them. Here is information on these:
I don't know if you have enough time for this one, but you could do a potato bonsai. You chit the potatoes (chitting is what happens when a potato sprouts before planted) and then the kids can trim them like bonsai trees:
You might also build a mason bee house (to attract pollinators to the garden) or a bird nester (which provides materials for birds to build their nests): http://www.nwf.org/Get-Outside/Outdoor-Activities/Garden-for-Wildlife/Gardening-Tips/Build-a-Bee-House.aspx?CFID=28625570&CFTOKEN=64ada46852abd4d-4CFC037F-5056-A868-A085CD4C912568A8

Detective Comics Archives - Comics Should Be Good! @ Comic Book Resources
1987 And All That: Detective Comics #580-581
A column in which Matt Derman (Comics Matter) reads & reviews comics from 1987, because that's the year he was born.
Detective Comics #580-581 (DC) by Mike W. Barr, Jim Baikie, Pablo Marcos (#581), Adrienne Roy, Annie Halfacree (#580), Albert De Guzman (#581), and Denny O'Neil
I'm going to try as hard as I can not to use the word "two" too often in this column. That may be tricky, since it's about a two-part story where there are two Two-Faces running around, and it features the version of Two-Face who is so obsessed with the number two that all his crimes are themed around it and most of his dialogue is chock full of two-based puns. But I will genuinely try. Because easily the most aggravating part of reading these issues of Detective Comics is how often the word "two" is used, along with "double" and "couple" and anything else that can be turned into a forced bit of not-so-clever wordplay. It's lightweight comedy at best, and repetitive, uninspired filler at worst. And while this ineffective humor may be a low point, it's not all that's wrong with these comics. Continue Reading »

The Great Comic Book Detectives – Hidden Profanity in Batman #1?
Typically, this column is for people to send in old comics that they only vaguely remember and we'll hunt down the comic that they're talking about, but we've decided to mix it up a bit this week.
Today, we are looking at a suggestion a reader made over what might be a hidden piece of profanity in Batman #1. We'll present what we have and leave it to you folks to weigh in one what you think the deal is (and perhaps some of you have more information that you could lend).

George looked at his granddaughter's empty suit. He thought of Job. Satan lacked imagination.

Comic Book Easter Eggs – Terry Austin Popeye Easter Eggs!
Every week, I will be sharing with you three comic book "easter eggs." An easter egg is a joke/visual gag/in-joke that a comic book creator (typically the artist) has hidden in the pages of the comic for readers to find (just like an easter egg). They range from the not-so-obscure to the really obscure. So come check 'em all out and enjoy! Also, click here for an archive of all the easter eggs featured so far! If you want to suggest an easter egg for a future column, e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com (do not post your suggestion in the comments section!).
This week, all the easter eggs are Popeye cameos by the great Terry Austin!

House to Astonish Episode 92
A couple of days late, but better late than never, Paul and I have got just over an hour and ten minutes of chat for you on Marvel's latest wave of teasers, Mark Millar's new role at Fox, the expanded line-up of the Avengers, IDW's latest mega-crossover and David Lloyd's Aces Weekly. We've also got reviews of Non-Humans, Uncanny X-Men and Detective Comics , and the Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe is the new Buzz Lightyear. All this plus the Avengers' five-a-side football tournament, boob claws and the Secret Invasion point-and-click adventure.
We're looking for your input too – let us know what you think of any of the things we've talked about on this podcast, including (but certainly not limited to):
- Who are your hopes for the unannounced remaining members of the Avengers? Who should return, and who should get their first shot at the big leagues?
- What have been the high points of the New 52 for you, a year into the relaunch? What books have surprised you, either by being better than they sounded on paper or by being disappointments?
- What creators do you think have made big improvements in their output over the years, getting better from a shaky start (or recovering from a quality dip)?
The podcast is here, or on Mixcloud here. You can also find us on iTunes or via Stitcher.com (or their free iOS or Android apps).
Or you can listen to it right here:

"Without the right sound, writing is worthless." Laney gazed at the cream-colored wall. "He fired me, you know.

Later, over cigarettes and coffee, Perry returned to the subject of thievery. "My friend Willie-Jay used to talk about it. He used to say that all crimes were only varieties of theft. Murder included. When you kill a man you steal his life. I guess that makes me a pretty big thief. See, Don – I did kill them. Down there in court, old Dewey made it sound like I was prevaricating – on account of Dick's mother. Well, I wasn't. Dick helped me, he held the flashlight and picked up the shells. And it was his idea, too. But Dick didn't shoot them, he never could've – though he's damn quick when it comes to running down an old dog. I wonder why I did it." He scowled, as though the problem was new to him, a newly unearthed stone of surprising, unclassified color. "I don't know why," he said, as if holding it to the light, and angling it now here, now there. "I was sore at Dick. The tough brass boy. But it wasn't Dick. Or the fear of being identified. I was willing to take that gamble. And it wasn't because of anything the Clutters did. They never hurt me. Like other people. Like people have all my life. Maybe it's just that the Clutters were the ones who had to pay for it." (Truman Capote, from In Cold Blood)

What I bought – 25 November 2009
I remember when I was in love, I broke my sword upon a stone, and bid him take that for coming a-night to Jane Smile; and I remember the kissing of her batler and the cow's dugs that her pretty chopp'd hands had milk'd; and I remember the wooing of a peascod instead of her, from whom I took two cods, and giving her them again, said with weeping tears, "Wear these for my sake." We that are true lovers run into strange capers; but as all is mortal in nature, so is all nature in love mortal in folly.
I didn't buy all of these – two were sent to me – but dang, that's a grip of funnybooks, ain't it?

"Bangkok chic" is the order of the day at this sleek venture. Thailand's capital is one of Asia's epicenters of cool these days with buzzing arts and fashion scenes feeding the city's aura of insatiable youthful energy. And it is into this power source that Koh Thai taps with its authentic fare given a cosmopolitan twist by the décor, hip cocktails and laid-back beats. Thai food is somewhat underrepresented in Saigon so Koh Thai's extensive list of dishes from all over the 'Land of Smiles' will be welcomed by those who cherish the fiery flavors of Siam. Indeed, the venue has already struck a chord despite its relatively tender years and getting a table can be tricky both at lunch and at dinner.
Cocktails are a speciality and many have a distinct Thai twist. Popular options from the menu include the delicate 'Koh Thai Fizz' and the spicier 'A Little Thai'd Up'.
The menu runs the gamut from well-known Thai favourites such as Pad Thai noodles and Tom Yum soup, to lesser-known regional dishes drawn from across the Kingdom.

Current Time
see + do
St. Petersburg see + do
St. Petersburg is the city on the swamp built in 1703 to be the capital of Peter the Great's Russian empire—from which the czars ruled right up until 1917. Dostoyevsky called his home "the most abstract and intentional city on earth"; guidebooks call it "the Venice of the North." With scores of tributaries and canals, hundreds of bridges, 150 palaces, gracious proportions, wonderful gaudy churches, and huge squares, it's heartbreakingly beautiful. Heartbreaking because, despite native son Vladimir Putin's $1.5 billion tercentennial restorations, great swaths of it are crumbling and shabby; because every great building is surrounded by its own moat of grumpy souvenir sellers who probably have Ph.D.'s; and because you can't quite connect its past to what you see today. The "real" Piter, as the residents fondly call it, is also relatively impenetrable, but there's more than enough to keep first-time visitors busy.

Quoted from Symbi Good one TJ! The protocol is working for me. Recently added naicinamide (methylated B3) and my anxiety has never been this low. Really worth checking out. Have had my zinc serum lelels checked and they are on the low side even though I supplement with 25mg of elemental zinc a day for over a year now (though I read the serum can be unreliable since if you're low you can leach it from your bones ). So many skin problems, chronic dryness, worry, chronic fatigue, PMS (funny how PMS could really be pyroluria by another name - the vitamins Zn and B6 are the same); so many things have improved.Have to run but will be back to discuss more soon.
Quoted Text Do I Have Pyroluria?Here's a questionnaire to help you determine if you or someone you care about has pyroluria.1. Do you tend to skip breakfast or have morning nausea?NO2. Do you tend to be anxious?YES3. Do you have other members in your immediate or extended family with schizophrenia?NO4. Are there members of your immediate or extended family who have committed suicide?NO5. Do you have white spots on your nails?NO (since BTD)6. Did you get a "stitch" in your side when you ran as a child?YES7. Did you have moderate to severe acne as a teenager?NO8. Do you have pain or creaking in your knees?YES9. Do you have cold hands and feet?YES10. Do you have stretch marks as an adolescent or adult even without a large weight gain or loss?NO11. Are your teeth or were your teeth before orthodontic treatment crowded with teeth growing over teeth?NO12. Did puberty start a little later for you than others?NO (not that I remember)13. Are you easily tired?YES14. Do you tend toward apathy?Only when fatigued15. Do you have a tendency toward iron-deficiency anemia or test borderline?UNKNOWN16. Do you have eczema or psoriasis?NO17. Do you have tingling sensations or even tremors in your arms or legs?Not now. I have in the past because of ergonomic problems with my workspace, but they went away went chiropractic treatment and changes to the workspace.18. Do you tend to have paler skin than other family members?YES!!! Brown hair and brown eyes just like my brothers, who all tan well. I burn, then I turn white/pink again. 19. Do you tend to get overwhelmed in stressful situations?YES20. Do you have trouble remembering your dreams?YES21. Are you now or have you been a vegetarian?NO22. Are you now or have you before been an alcoholic?NO, but if I'd ever started drinking I probably would have become one.23. Do you find yourself socially withdrawn and dependent fairly strongly on one person?YES to "socially withdrawn". To the "dependent" part, at times.If you answer yes to 12 or more of these questions, then you may have pyroluria and should consider getting the lab test done, as mentioned on the description of pyroluria page.
Quoted from cowgirl1988 Where can one get this "naicinamide" from? I am in Australia, hopefully this won't make it difficult to get a hold of...
Quoted from BTypeAUS You can get the pyrroles test done at nicholades and sullivans labs ...ask ur dr which ones do it. Are u in brusbane?
Quoted from Amazone I. I observed the lack of B6,mg,zink is a typical nonnie issue ...but perhpas might lead to explorerdom as well ...
Quoted from BTypeAUS Very interesting subject, my 12 year old autistic son had the urine pyroles test done and his is quite high, the dr has out him on a supplement of zinc and magnesium among other things ..the only problem is getting him to take it
Quoted Text The activity of intestinal alkaline phosphatase and serum alkaline phosphatase is strongly correlated with ABH secretor phenotypes. Independent of ABO blood group, ABH non-secretors have lower alkaline phosphatase activity than ABH secretors. It has been estimated that the serum alkaline phosphatase activity of non-secretors is only about 20% of the activity in the secretor groups.


text: Just add water Resurrection of a California Marsh. by Kenneth Brower In the summer of 1988, Sam Sebastiani climbed a hill in California's Sonoma County and looked about for a new beginning. Not long before, Sam had been president of Sebastiani Vineyards, one of the state's biggest wine producers. On New Year's Day 1986, the chairwoman of the company, Sylvia Sebastiani--his mother--had fired him in a dispute over the direction of the family business. He was now searching for a place to start again. This hill was made of volcanic tuff, perfect for digging caves in which to age barrels. The property had a run of the red soil he wanted for his vines. He liked the view. Westward stood the Carneros hills. Eastward lay the Sonoma floodplain, an expanse of diked and drained bay lands, with tidal creeks and sloughs shining in the distance. Directly beneath the hilltop was the poor stubble of a very marginal hayfield. The hayfield was a fossil marsh. It had the hydric soil characteristic of former wetlands. Had Sebastiani descended to the field and dug up a handful, he would have smelled the telltale sulfidic odor; seen the histosol, the high organic content of the surface layer, the organic streaking, the gleyed, low-chroma, blue-gray color. Digging deeper, he would have found long-dormant seeds of marsh sedges and the sleeping rhizomes of tules and cattails. This field had been a cove in the marshy plain of reeds that bordered San Francisco Bay before the gold rush, when the bay was twice its present size. Sebastiani did not dig up the soil and smell; not that day. But something in the lay of the land--in the way the flat embayment of the field nestled in an amphitheater of hills--must have murmured marsh to him, for now he saw a kind of mirage. The field flooded in his imagination, its stubble greening and lengthening into stands of cattails and the 20-foot culms of bulrushes, with mallards and pintails swimming underneath them. The mirage was refracted light from his childhood. His growing up had been equal parts vines and birds, for those had been the passions of August Sebastiani, his father. "Duck pond," Sam thought. (His father had built duck ponds. "Wetland" was lingo he would not encounter until he began rubbing elbows with the biologists who knew how to bring back the reeds.) "The task of developing marshlands presents no serious problems," Herbert Mason writes in A Flora of the Marshes of California. "Given adequate water of proper depth, a marsh is inevitable." Inevitable in nature, perhaps, but not in the affairs of men. Herbert Mason never had to deal with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, EPA, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Department of Justice; the California Department of Fish and Game, Department of Transportation, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and State Lands Commission; the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, Water Agency, and Planning Department; the Marin-Sonoma Mosquito and Vector Control District; and the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission--all agencies to which Sebastiani had to apply in his two-year quest for the permit he needed to "develop" his marsh. Such scrutiny was necessary because Sebastiani wanted to build a levee--a structure that would destroy one acre of wetland in the process of creating nearly a hundred more. Today, recalling his struggles with red tape, Sebastiani goes glassy-eyed and bewildered, like Kafka's Joseph K. after his ordeal in The Trial. Without the funding, advice, and encouragement of the hunter's group Ducks Unlimited, Sebastiani says, he would have given up. Sebastiani also had nature on his side. A former marsh wants to be marsh again. His permit in hand, Sebastiani built a 1,700-foot-long levee on the northern border of his land. The winter rains came. The runoff ponded behind the levee. Cattails, bulrushes, and sedges sprang from the dormant seed bank. Pondweed and the seeds of spikerushes and other marsh vegetation washed in on high water, or hitched in on the plumage of birds. Waterfowl saw the glint of water, noted the greening margins, and set down. By the second year, 156 species of birds had been recorded in or around Viansa Wetlands, as Sebastiani called his little reserve next to Viansa Winery. On a single winter day, 10,000 waterfowl were counted on its 90 acres. Nearly every North American duck species has paid a visit: two species each of goldeneye, scaup, and wigeon; three each of merganser and teal. Tundra swans. Shovelers. Canada geese. Brant. One albatross. Of the 35,000 canvasbacks that winter annually on San Francisco Bay, about 10 percent spend time in Viansa Wetlands. Red-tailed hawks and three species of owl nest here. Eight species of hawk hunt through, and four species of falcon, and the golden eagle. The marsh has recorded one species of starling, two of dove, three wrens, four grebes, five flycatchers, six gulls, seven sparrows. No partridge, yet, on any of Sebastiani's transplanted willow trees, but its cousin, the quail, runs in file down the levees. Another cousin, the ring-necked pheasant, is occasionally flushed from leveeside reeds. "If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water," Loren Eiseley writes. Water has certainly worked its magic in Sam Sebastiani's hayfield. If the winemaker imagined that his resurrection of the marsh was a one-time event, he underestimated. His is a seasonal marsh. By late summer, it has dried almost entirely--nothing but weary, bent tules and polygonal cracks in sunbaked mud. After winter rain, it all begins again. As long as the levee holds, the magical reappearance of the reeds will be cyclical and endless. It is startling how fast each springtime resurrection progresses. Cattails and bulrushes grow faster than any plants save giant kelp, and even as the reeds are rising, the high water of winter rains is receding. A marsh in winter flood has little topographical relief, but in spring, as the cattails wax and the water wanes, topography comes rapidly upon it. The relief sharpens daily, and soon the channels and embayments make deep, reed-walled canyons. Spring is sequential on the levee. It sprouts first in wild radish along the crown, then moves on down the levee's inner bank as the falling water makes way for it. As the waterline retreats, there is a brief interregnum--a day or two of shoreline mud--then a new sward of wild radish springs up. The radish quickly come into flower--varicolored blossoms of pink, blue, white--then the flowering, too, moves downbank. You see the same sort of graduated springtime in the mountains, where alpine plants germinate as the snow melts upslope. Here, the germination proceeds in the opposite direction. Walk five feet down the levee bank, and your feet are in another season; you have reached a somewhat newer spring. Spring is slow to arrive up in the adjacent vineyard. The vines remain "in wood" while the cattails shoot skyward. Bare, dormant trellises run down to the fast-rising, spring-green shore of reeds. Then consecutive days of warmth quicken the vines. First budswell, then budbreak, then the first green shoots, then tiny leaf clusters, then pre-bloom. Common vetch, the bean planted between rows of vines to fix nitrogen, sets its extravagant white flowers and then is disked under. Along shore, at the base of the cattails, the opaque and muddy water of winter clarifies. The sediment load is settling out with the passage of time and the purifying influence of cattails and bulrushes. The marsh is distilling itself. The Russian olives that Sebastiani planted at wide intervals along the levee have sent out frosty-green, willowlike foliage. Downwind of each small tree is a plume of powerful fragrance, a peculiar, cloying sweetness; a fermented smell, somehow. The little grove of cottonwoods that the winemaker planted at the southwest corner of the marsh fills the area with the clean, tonic fragrance of riparian trees. One day a worker drives a mower down the crown of the levee. The next a big gopher snake, fat with spring voles, suns itself on the mown grass. The muskrats are now living large. They have switched completely from the Irish famine of muskrat winter--a dogged subsistence on the starch of tubers--to the delicacy of cattail shoots, in which nutrients are concentrated for the fast growth of spring. On their rafts of felled cattails, there are no longer any tuber fragments among their leftovers; just pale strips of shoots, the ends serrated with teeth marks. In the vineyard the vines bloom, and the trellises green up. Early in the season, growth is almost exponential in grapevines. The yellow-green of new grape leaves, and of grape tendrils searching, now match the yellow-green of that same furious growth in the rising walls of cattails. This explosion of green is particularly beautiful at dawn and sunset. Here and there atop the evening-green cattails and trellises, the low, reddened sun reflects, redoubled, from the red epaulets of red-winged blackbirds. In July the bulrushes begin to lose their starch. The proud, erect culms of springtime commence bending over on themselves. The cattails, too, lose their good posture. The reeds are fatiguing with age and the weight of perching egrets and herons. Marsh wrens must take a toll as well. The long-billed bird weighs almost nothing, but its endless running up the reeds, and its gleaning the culms at waterline for snails, and its launching itself from reedtops to hawk flying insects, all must contribute to the decline of the reeds. The nemeses of the wrens, the red-winged blackbirds, weigh more and ride the reeds harder. Flashing red, bobbing with the reed tip, singing o-ka-lee-onk, the blackbirds steal the flex from the culms. The tules are worn out by song. A thickening soup of duckweed and pondweed stills the surface of the marsh. The water jells, almost, with vegetation, so that light winds no longer leave a mark. Each sort of water plant calms the surface in its own way. One species of pondweed, Potamogeton nodosus, floats its leathery, lanceolate leaves on the surface. Another species, Potamogeton foliosus, drifts long, wiry, filamentous leaves. Water-starwort makes its particular kind of dimpling, and marsh pennywort makes another. Looking across the marsh into bright sun, you see a complicated mosaic of textures. Wading into this mosaic is like striding through molasses. Your feet quickly become entwined and freighted with heavy boots of pondweed. Sometimes by walking backward you can shuffle free of these loads, but if you wait too long, and the pondweed boots accrete too large, this technique ceases to work. You stop, stoop, grunt, rip the weed off by hand, and fling it away in irritation. The gumbo of the marsh is seasoned now with floating feathers--some pepper of wren and coot, but mostly salt of egret. The white plumes and down of egrets drift high and dry for a while--dazzling points of light--then become waterlogged and sink. As summer advances, the proportion of feathers in the gumbo increases, and so does the flotsam of shed skins of mosquito wigglers and dragonflies and frogs, and the floating corpses of minnows, tadpoles, and crabs. The marsh collects the debris of its own fertility and grows a bit bedraggled. The once-immaculate green of the reeds is now flecked and spattered everywhere with white guano. The muskrats have broadened their diet to include spike-rushes, Sagittaria, water plantain, and assorted sedges, but they continue felling cattails, and their slash-and-eat agriculture leaves small clearings everywhere in the tules. Resident birds remain in the marsh, but the migrants are long gone. The summer marsh has a deserted feel. Two ducks common in the winter marsh--the canvasback and greater scaup--are now up in the Yukon and the Seward Peninsula. The lesser scaup has traveled nearly as far. The sea ducks--common goldeneyes and buffleheads--are up in central Alaska. Barrow's goldeneye is working its way westward out the Aleutian peninsula. The blue-winged teal has reached the British Columbia coast, the Yukon, and central Alaska. The wood ducks are up in Idaho and Montana and Vancouver Island. The shovelers and pintails have reached the northern plains and have spread through much of Alaska. The tundra swans are up in the tundra. The Caspian terns have reached Great Slave Lake and Lake Athabaska. The Canada geese are scattered throughout Canada, save the highest islands of the Arctic. The armies of shorebirds--greater and lesser yellowlegs, long-billed and short-billed dowitchers, willet, sandpipers, whimbrels, curlews, godwits, dunlins, snipes--have worked their way far to the north, foraging by day and traveling by night. Many have outdistanced the night, finally. They have reached the latitudes of perpetual light and they travel the last miles, of necessity, by day. They are up with the snowy owls, caribou, and barren-ground grizzlies. The elements of Sam Sebastiani's marsh are scattered now across much of the Northern Hemisphere. By October, the marsh is dry again except for its deep northern bay and a few small central pools. The meadows of pondweed and algae, as the water drains from under them, have come to rest on the bottom. The floating flora has lost its third dimension. It dries and compresses to a kind of papier mâché, a natural papyrus, that covers most of the shallow basin of the marsh. Only the faintest hint of green remains, the same doubtful color you see in leaves pressed between the pages of a book. Here and there on the papyrus crust lie the skeletons of carp and empty carapaces of crabs. The pondweed mâché makes a faint, resonant drumbeat under your shoes. With the edge of your sole you can scuff up a scroll of it, exposing bare mud beneath. Receding water concentrates most of the marsh's frogs in the channel along the east levee. They bob up for air by the hundreds, each with a quick gulp--nose and eyes above the opaque water--then a plop back under. The plopping patterns the channel surface everywhere, like rebounding raindrops in the shape of frogs. The frogstorm patters away under cloudless skies, unnatural and ominous, an Egyptian plague on Sam Sebastiani's marsh. Then one morning, deliverance from the plague. A small army of white herons--great egrets and snowies--descends on the northern bay of the marsh. They work their way southward, making easy pickings of the fish and frogs trapped in the shallows. When they are done, only a few token frogs remain. With each seasonal death of the marsh, some of the carp, crabs, and crayfish succeed in escaping to the brackishness of Sonoma Creek, from which they migrated. Many crayfish flee the sun downward, tunneling after the subsiding water table until they reach moist mud in which to estivate. In the depths, metabolism slowed, they wait for the rains. They bide their time until the marsh blooms again. The cattails have gone to seed. The tiny, tight-packed seeds cover each cigarlike spadix in firm brown velvet. ("Reed mace," the English call cattails, in honor of this dark sausage at the business end of the stalk.) Beneath the brown velvet of the seed capsules, a white kapok of cottony seed-parachutes packs the core. Nearly weightless individually, the parachutes are folded in so cunningly and densely, in such vast numbers, that each cattail has heft. Strip an autumn spadix into the breeze, with the sun downwind, and half the sky fills with backlit parachutes. Each cattail explodes like a supernova, emitting impossible volumes of matter and light. The disintegration comes in pulses. The seeds never go all at once. Left to nature, the wind spalls them off in swatches, and in human hands it is the same. You cannot thumb away just one flight of seeds, for the effect is too satisfying, too spectacular. You are compelled to follow that first flight with a second, then a third. Great clouds of potential cattails--expanding nebulae of marsh-to-be--sail away on incandescent wings. A marsh is a biome itching to repeat itself. Marshlands have suffered brutal reductions in the past, but the future of marshes always looks bright. The winter rains come again. The marsh fills. A small flotilla of ruddy ducks moves into flooded autumn reeds. The males among them wear gray winter plumage. The bright blue bill of the breeding season has faded to a dull blue-gray. The very ruddiness of the ruddy drakes has vanished, and the males are hard to distinguish from the hens. At summer's end, most North American male ducks molt their bright breeding plumage and spend a few months in cryptic "eclipse" plumage. Some species, like the ruddy, remain in eclipse until the next breeding season. They lose their flight feathers along with their color, and until the next molt are unable to fly. Drab, feminized, flightless, they retreat into the depths of the marsh and hide. These unruddy winter drakes in Sam Sebastiani's marsh looked as gray and weathered as old decoys left out in the rain. Sebastiani, I remembered, had inherited antique wooden decoys from his father. In the difficult early days of Viansa Winery, he had been forced to sell this patrimony, along with his prize mules and other possessions, in order to make ends meet. He had lost the big home where he and his wife, Vicki, had entertained extravagantly. Vicki, embarrassed by her new circumstances, had gone into hibernation as a hostess. Sam had gone into eclipse plumage as surely as any of these ducks. In an astronomical eclipse, we know--most modern humans do, at least--that the sun or moon will emerge again. In the eclipse of his fortunes, Sam had no such certainty, no guarantee that his winter would ever turn to spring. "Now I go around the country, making my speech about wetlands to growers and people in wastewater management," Sebastiani told me recently, on the Viansa hilltop, where his winery and Italian cafe now have 100 employees. "I tell them, get yourself a wetland. Because that way you've created more life. When you get in your car, and go home, and see a bird fly by, you might have put that bird on the planet."

From Susanna Harwood Rubin:
At the heart of both Yoga and Writing resides the urge toward creativity and a desire for self-expression. Both practices require a balance of structure and freedom in order to thrive. I designed Writing Your Practice, a 10-week online course, specifically for yoga practitioners. The course is structured on ten powerful yogic concepts, ranging from Ganesha to the Rasas and Kali. Through the exploration of these concepts, you will broaden your perspective, refine your skills, and permanently transform your writing.
Whether you are a student or a teacher, a journal writer, blogger, or simply want to begin writing, this course will nurture and grow your practice. You will acquire techniques and exercises to enrich your subject matter, break through writing blocks, evolve your style, and fine-tune your prose. Writing Your Practice invites you to step more fully and confidently into your voice and to expand the boundaries of your self-expression.
As a participant of Writing Your Practice, you get:
10 Weekly Teleconferences
For each of the 10 weeks, I will present a particular Yoga Topic for the first half of the Teleconference session. For the second half of the session, we will discuss how this topic will fuel your weekly writing through an open exchange of ideas.
See below for more details on each of the 10 weeks.
A Private Online Forum in the form of a Facebook Group to share your writing with your classmates and offer each other feedback and support.
A One-on-One Personalized Coaching Session with Susanna You will receive a One-on-One Coaching session, including comments, writing tips, and critiques to fine-tune your prose and take your writing to the next level. Sessions will occur over the phone or via Skype.
Recorded Teleconferences No need to worry about missing some of the live sessions. Each weekly teleconference will be recorded and available for you to download so you can listen at any time.
Class 1 – Finding your Voice
The elephant-headed Ganesha sits at the threshold, representing transformation and new beginnings. Choosing to write is stepping through a doorway into a deeper place inside your self. Finding Your Voice will guide you into this place, where you will investigate your proclivities, passions, and the individual qualities that make you you! Here, you will begin to find your voice.
(next week: writing time)
Class 2 – Creating Your Practice
In order to grow as a writer, you must continually create and self-edit. But how do you sustain it? Shiva's ongoing process of Creation, Maintenance, and Dissolution, shows that in order to grow, we must establish a foundational practice. Creating Your Practice will help you to design a firm weekly practice for yourself and to strategize how to balance your creative output with your editorial eye. In the words of Sri Pattabhi Jois, "Practice, and all will come."
Class 3 – Just Write!
Kali is primal and uncensored, the ferocious embrace of every possibility. Before you narrow your subject matter and refine your prose, you have to open the floodgates. Just Write! will teach you techniques for getting unstuck, overcoming your fear of the blank page or opening sentence, and letting it flow with wild creativity and without judgment.
Class 4 – Accessing Your Potential
Hanuman is a shape-shifting yogi whose devotion is unwavering. He shows that regardless of what you put out into the world, it is an expression of what you care about and who you are. In Accessing Your Potential, you will dive into your center to investigate your own gifts, uncovering what you want to write about, and expressing it unwaveringly.
Class 5 – Refining Your Practice
Shri means abundance, but also refinement. Once your words are flowing, it's time to look more closely at your writing style. Through expanding your ability to create precise descriptions, and gathering vocabulary, Refining Your Practice will show you how to tone your prose and expand your descriptive abilities. With more linguistic & stylistic choices, you will become more deliberate in your use of words.
Class 6 – Expanding Your Voice
The most skillful writers plumb their own depths to draw upon a wide range of mental and emotional states. The Rasas show us that in art as in life, we have access to all of these flavors of experience, although we tend to favor some over others. In Expanding Your Voice, you will learn to access different aspects of your voice, from the comic to the peaceful, from revulsion to the ecstatic, recognizing that they are not always that far apart.
Class 7 – Setting Goals
In the Baghavad Gita, Krishna tells the great warrior Arjuna that he must step up and do what needs to be done – to engage on the field of life. Similarly, as a writer you need to own your sense of purpose, pinpointing what you want to express in a particular piece of writing, and insuring that your details compel it forward. In Setting Goals, you will learn to be decisive in your editing so that your ideas glitter with precision.
Class 8 – Connecting Deeply
To write powerfully, you need to show something rather than tell about it. Vac is the vibratory power of speech, pulsing with evocation. In Connecting Deeply, you will deepen your awareness of how particular words resonate, learn how to juxtapose words and phrases to create different effects, and develop compelling ways of expressing the vibratory creative impulse within yourself so that your words carry power.
Class 9 – The Beauty of Conversation
Writing helps us to know ourselves better, creating an inner dialogue that enables us to converse more powerfully with the world. Writing creates a field in which our internal and external worlds continually echo each other. Our unique singular selves and our rich, diverse selves enter into conversation. In The Beauty of Conversation, we will explore Subrahmanya, Ganesha's brother, whose prismatic nature serves as a counterpoint to Ganesha's solidity, owning our diversity and finding connections within it.
(next two weeks: 1-on-1 meetings and writing time)
Class 10 – Making it heard – Getting It Out There
There are few things as satisfying for a writer as seeing your work published and read. This involves balancing day-to-day practicalities with the often-unpredictable creative impulse. In Making it Heard we will explore the concepts of Karma (action) and Lila (serendipity, chance) that get your writing out into the world. From establishing productive habits to Blogging, using Social Media, and enlisting your friends, you will create a strategy that will expand your writing practice and your audience in ways that serve you.

Veterinarians in Pelham, AL
Jay H. Price, D.V.M.
General Practitioner and owner
of Oak View Animal Hospital
Dr. Price first came to the Hospital in May of 2006 shortly after graduating from veterinary school. After three years as a General Practitioner, Dr. Price took over ownership of the hospital from its original owner.
Dr. Price says he first found his love of animal care while spending summers on his grandparents' farm helping to tend and care for its many animals. "One of the great joys of being a veterinarian," he says, "is the ability to spend my work day with the various animals that are our patients and maintaining the wellbeing of creatures that cannot speak for themselves."
A native of Phenix City, Alabama, Dr. Price attended Auburn University for his undergraduate studies, earning a BS in Zoology in 2001. The following year, he entered Auburn University's College of Veterinary Medicine where he graduated with a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2006. His areas of particular professional interest include oncology, internal medicine, surgery and dermatology. He is also a member of the Alabama Veterinary Medical Association, American Veterinary Medical Association and a board member of the Hope 4 Paws Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping pet owners afford treatment of life threatening illnesses for their pets. Additionally, Dr. Price is the veterinary advisor for the Adopt-A-Golden Foundation in Birmingham, AL.
At home, Dr. Price and his wife Julie--a PhD. Student in Biology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham--have a newborn son, Henry. They also share their home with a 5-year-old Yellow Lab named Sage, a 6-year-old mix breed named Woodford, and a 6-year-old domestic shorthair cat named Miss Kitty.
When not working, Dr. Price enjoys fly fishing, yard work, traveling, and is an avid Auburn University football fan.
Elizabeth B. Robinson, D.V.M.
General Practitioner
Dr. Robinson is a General Practitioner with an emphasis in small animal medicine that has been with Oak View Animal Hospital since January, 2007.
A native of Montgomery, Alabama, Dr. Robinson says being a veterinarian is the perfect combination of her lifelong love of animals and the medical sciences. "What I enjoy most about my job is interacting with our clients and the feeling when you know you have truly made someone happy by helping their pet," she says. "Another great thing about my job is that I am constantly challenged and therefore able to learn something new every day, which makes me better at my job."
Dr. Robinson attended the University of Alabama where she graduated with a BS in Chemistry in 2000. Later that same year she entered Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine, earning her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2004. She specializes in and enjoys all aspects of small animal medicine, but has a particular interest in feline medicine and ultrasound.
Dr. Robinson's interest in the welfare of animals extends beyond the doors of Oak View Animal Hospital to include membership on the board of Hope 4 Paws. At home, she and her husband Reed--a General Contractor--have a Golden Retriever named Bailey, English Pointer named Blue, and two domestic shorthair cats named Bob and Bessie.
When not working or spending time with her family, Dr. Robinson enjoys reading, cooking, working in her yard, and running.

American Samoa: During the first half of 2009 the rainfall in American Samoa was near normal. Rainfall in American Samoa typically begins to decrease during May and June as the dry season gets underway. However, May was very wet with nearly 20 inches of rain (193% of normal) at Pago Pago International Airport. At A'asufou, a station at 408m elevation in the hills behind the WSO, the May 2009 rainfall was 27.22 inches (177% of normal). This was the wettest monthly total noted at any recording location in the USAPI during the first half of 2009. After the wet May, June was quite dry. American Samoa passed through its hurricane season without any serious affects from any tropical cyclone. Very high surf was observed during June, caused by intense mid-latitude lows to the south, and further exacerbated by strong southeast trade winds. American Samoa Rainfall Summary 2nd Quarter 2009 |
Climate Outlook: American Samoa is now within the heart of its dry season (May through November). Nearly all climate models favor slightly below normal rainfall over the next few months, which span the heart of the 2009 dry season. For the past two years, the focus of South Pacific tropical cyclone activity has been in the Coral Sea from northeastern Australia eastward to Fiji. In the upcoming 2009-10 cyclone season, El Niño conditions may elevate the risk of a damaging impact by a hurricane or strong tropical storm affecting American Samoa. During El Niño, the Australian Northwest Monsoon episodically pushes to the east of the International Date Line in the rainy season, bringing several periods of gusty northwesterly winds to American Samoa. This weather pattern also enhances tropical cyclone activity from Tonga and Samoa eastward into the Cook Islands. A moderate El Niño brings greater hurricane risk to American Samoa than a strong El Niño. Forecast rainfall for American Samoa from July 2009 through June 2010 is as follows: |

Awesome terminals and easy to build on. The only reason it gets 4 stars is the air holes from the factory are too small

Exactly as described, great quality and 100% authentic!

Great product. Works better than I thought it was. So happy with purchase.
Posted by Nick on 13th Feb 2014
The RDA is flawless in every way. The room inside the atomizer is spatious making it easy to experiment with different coil setups. Also the way it's designed makes for a cool refreshing vape. The top cap fits perfectly, it fits on all of my mods, and it fits my drip tips with no wiggle room. The American made product really shows how we leave the chineese in the dust. Threads are smooth and the emblem is sick! 5/5!!

Well built atomizer made in USA. Large terminals allow for easy coil installation. More room for wick than other brands out there. Running a 3/2 wrap with 24ga kanthal around 3mm ekowool. Hits hard with a lot of flavor and good vapor production. Only mods were drilling out air holes.

Comments about Xtend & Climb 15Ft Telescoping Ladder (785P):
I bought this ladder because I did not want to put a ladder rack on my new truck. It is a sturdy platform to climb on to roofs. I do construction. Except for being a little heavy, this ladder works great.

Patagonian Life
Nestling below the Sierra Contreras Mountain Range, the Estancia (working ranch) Cerro Guido is the hub from which 100,000 hectares of land, 50,000 head of sheep and 2,000 head of cattle are administered. Steeped in close to 100 years of history this working Patagonian ranch shows our guests a world that is very rarely seen. A lifestyle that is at times romantic and at times unforgiving is brought to life as workers from the ranch walk us through the lives and lifestyle of the Patagonian Baqueano (Cowboy).
*Visits to estancias are subject to change,
*There are no activities on sundays
Esquila Pre-parto
September - October
In Patagonia, the "esquila" (shearing) is the process of removing the sheep's wool at specific times throughout the year. The esquila pre-parto is when they remove a limited portion of wool from the bellies of the sheep a few months before the full shearing takes place. The esquila pre-parto at Estancia Cerro Guido normally happens between September and October each year; however, exact dates depend on the weather.
December - January
At Cerro Guido, the full shearing takes place between December and January, usually lasting about a full two weeks. Before the actual shearing takes place, there is the chance to see how Chilean cowboys or "baqueanos" herd the flocks with their specially trained dogs, gathering thousands of sheep at a time to prepare for the shearing.
La Señalada
January - February
During the summer months, usually January and February, Cerro Guido brands their sheep in a process called la señalada. This makes their sheep easily identifiable among the animals of other estancias in the area. La señalada is performed by making a quick incision in a particular shape on the ears of all Cerro Guido sheep.
Esquila De Ojo
The third type of shearing that takes place during the year at Cerro Guido is the esquila de ojo where only wool from around the sheep's eyes and face is removed to allow for better sight during the winter months. Similarly to the other esquilas, there is the opportunity to witness the massive sheep herding as the baqueanos bring them to the main area of the estancia for shearing.

Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School placed on lockdown after attempted abduction
INDIANAPOLIS - Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School was put on lockdown Tuesday after a student reported an attempted abduction while walking to school.
Greg Otolski, spokesman for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, said that an eighth-grade male student claimed the incident happened just before 8 a.m. near 57th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, just a block away from the school.
The student said a white van pulled up with three masked people inside. They pulled him inside the van, but he was able to escape.
"He gave a very basic description, and he was pretty upset," said Metro police spokeswoman Linda Jackson. "What we got was three individuals -- I don't have a race, I do have male. And they were all wearing ski masks. That being said, there's not much of a description."
School officials said they have notified police and they placed the school on lockdown as a precaution.
The school plans to be on lockdown Wednesday and alerts were sent to parents.
"The school is pretty on top of it," said parent Mike Sylvia. "I got a voicemail on my cellphone and a message at home as well, plus several emails from both my kids' teachers and the principal."
The student was taken to the hospital as a precaution, but police said he was not injured.

Website owners who want to publish their site and gather more followers would prefer to use word press platforms because of their different features. The growing demands for themes have challenged WordPress developers to launch new selections to cater the needs of all clients. Word press themes are known to provide a unique color combination, images, backgrounds, lay outs and icons that are very impressive for websites.
The designers of word press have developed premium theme options which are highly functional and with top quality to provide more power to a website. These are highly in demand because of their unique and sophisticated designs. They can enhance a site better than the free options. These themes also offer a unique individual interpretation for a website. The owner will have the sole decision as to which of the theme options he will utilize to improve his site.
Here are some tips on how to choose the most suitable premium theme for your blog in word press.
- Select a theme that is easy to use
The convenience is one of the best features of a theme that will benefit your site. It is easier for you to use a theme that enables you to customize the headers, fonts, colors and graphics without having to fiddle some complicated codes.
- Choose a compatible theme
Compatibility is also important when selecting a theme for your blog. You must select the best theme that is associated with the title of your blog. For example, if your site talks about sports select a sports-oriented theme while those that are associated with fashion, management and health must have their own specific theme coordination.
- Check for themes with different features
Some of the good features that word press themes can offer are the widget positioning options, logo space, menu bar, custom templates, multiple selection of lay outs and various options for custom fields that would add originality and organization to the site. Flexibility and customization are another reasons why a premium theme is very popular and in demand. The universality of the theme that you will choose in your site is also an important factor to consider. It is essential for a theme to accommodate any type of project. Whether it is a blog, business site, technology website or video sharing choosing the best theme can affect the responses of the site's traffic.
- Focus selection on what the theme can do rather than what the demo just showed you
It is very important to understand perfectly well what the theme can exactly do to your site and don't just rely on the demonstration. Look at the general structure of the theme and study it carefully to understand the different customization option.
Themes are very important when constructing a website. You need to position the content and all information in the site in a more organized way so that it would be easier for the readers to read and understand it. Website owners would always want to have a distinctive look for their site when hosted by WordPress and one way to accomplish this is by using the best premium theme available. The appearance of the premium themes are regarded as the best provider for great layouts, colors and backgrounds.
Every website may differ in their needs for a theme depending on the owner. However, they are only created with the same objective which is to give an impressive presentation to increase traffic. When you use a theme that is user friendly and attractive people are more likely to visit your site and read its contents. WordPress has updated its theme options and is continually developing ways to help every website owner promote their business to the public in a more advanced way.
About Author – Renee Klein is a WordPress addict based in Amsterdam. He recommends new webmasters to take a look at WPdiscounts to find attractive themes for their websites at extremely affordable prices.
