Not a fault of the hotel but I paid priceline extra to ensure I recieved a 2 bed suite. A single bed suite was presented upon checkin which wasn't a big deal. it would be ideal if priceline could refund me the difference.
Amazing location in the center of the city. Staff were excellent in giving reccomendaitons and helping me through my first time in Chicago. Room was awesome. Dual showerheads were a nice touch. I'd stay there again, it was a great visit.

Experts say that lifestyle changes are crucial in successfully treating osteoarthritis. Regular exercise is one of the most effective treatments with the bonus that it will improve your health generally. Low-impact exercise, with less weight or force going through your joints, is best. Examples are walking, cycling and swimming. A physiotherapist can suggest targeted exercises to reduce pain and improve the function of the affected joints. Weight loss from exercise and diet can reduce the severity of symptoms, especially for people with knee osteoarthritis. It reduces the impact load on the joint and can improve joint flexibility and reduce pain.
We also checked out some other popular alternative treatments. They're included as an extra in some brands of glucosamine, but none of them has been as thoroughly researched as glucosamine and chondroitin. Evidence suggests the following products are of little or no benefit: willow bark selenium vitamins A, C, E Here are some products that might help, but for which the evidence is inconclusive: acupuncture avocado-soybean unsaponifiables capsaicin cream New Zealand green-lipped mussels ginger extract As none of these therapies have been thoroughly tested, it's not known if they're safe or unsafe. Always talk to your doctor before trying them. Complementary medicines need to be treated with the same care and respect as prescription medicines. They can cause side effects and interfere with other medicines and make them less effective.

Oban (18 year)
September 12, 2011
Oban is a Highland malt well known for its gentle, dry, honey-and-fruit character. See my review of the 14-year standard bottling here. Diageo, owners of the tiny distillery, have just announced that they now have enough stock of the older 18 year, which was previously only released as a limited-edition bottling, to make Oban 18 a permanent part of the lineup. As explained by Diageo Senior Master of Whisky Steve Beal at last week's K&L Whisky Tasting in Redwood City, CA, the Oban distillery is unable to expand its still-room due to the city which has grown up around it. Diageo must make do with the production capacity of only two stills, 6 days a week. They set aside 300 barrels each year for the Distiller's Edition (review here), and now 300 barrels a year for the new 18 year-old. K&L in Redwood City currently has this one for the incredible price of $99.
Nose: Light honey, lemon peel, candied orange peel, some bright golden apple notes. Light, bright, and sweet aroma.
Palate: Smooth but quite dry. Crisp. Caramel apple, orange blossom honey, warm notes of hard apple cider. Very elegant. The dryness does not come off rough, like a young blend, but instead dries the mouth and tingles the palate.
Finish: All honey. Raw, local, organic honey. Long and warming.
Overall: This is easily as smooth and refined as the Macallan 18, but the dryness and gentle, straightforward flavors make it unchallenging. If you have a penchant for easy-drinking whiskies and a spare $100 to spend (which is a steal), this one is calling out to you. If you're curious about Oban's style, the 14 is an exemplar of West Highland malt. Try that first.
About The Distillery
Located in the West Highlands, actually situated on the western seacoast of Scotland, Oban sits across the Firth of Lorn from the Isle of Mull. One of Diageo's "Classic Malts", its water comes from Loch Gleann a Bhearraidh, the town reservoir. This whole area is made up of old volcanic lava flow rock. Steel mash tun, larch washbacks, and only two small "lamp glass"-shaped stills with traditional wooden worm tubs.6 Responses to Oban (18 year)
I'll be trying this on Wednesday at a tasting, along with the 14 and the DE. I'm looking forward to it.
I was given a bottle as a gift from a friend at Diageo here in NYC. I had no idea it was limited and it went quickly and was freely shared.
By far my favorite Oban and on my short list. I am happy to see it can still be had. I hope the forthcoming 18 yo is as great as 2008 I just finished last night, after nursing the last half for some months!
Oban 18 is exceptional. You will not do a mistake with this one if you like single malt. It is up on the top of the pack. I wold not compare Single-malt — it is an acquired taste, changes with given day and state of palatable-health. Cheers Oban !
Just purchased 3 bottles because a local liquor store mistakenly priced the 18 at $65!!!
They had it on the other side of the store at $99. But the manager honored his mistake and I gave myself a great Christmas present. Its amazing. Im pretty new to the single malt world and I thoroughly enjoy the 14. But this is greatness and I am a new lifelong customer. -
I am highly impressed by this fine scotch. IT is worth the price

English and Women's StudiesFeminine Troubles
My project, "Feminine Troubles," considers the importance of nonsexual forms of intimacy within a salient primary text-Rosamond Lehmann's popular 1927 novel, Dusty Answer. I argue that this novel explores unorthodox attachments and extraordinary affects that cannot be explained through recourse to either sexual arousal or the fixity of sexual identity categories. The novel's decentralization of desire troubles theoretical paradigms within feminist, sexuality, and literary studies and enables an investigation of the underexplored links between femininity, narrative competition, pedagogy, and pleasure.

LGBTQ Identity, Gender Nonconformity, & Recurrent Suicide Risk
Suicide is prevalent among adolescents and young adults in the United States where it is the second leading cause of death for youth ages 13-24. Suicidal behavior frequently recurs – a third of adolescent suicide attempters will re-attempt within two years. Notably, to date there is no empirically supported intervention to prevent the recurrence of suicide attempts among youth broadly or among LGBTQ youth specifically. The proposed research will examine the role of LGBTQ-identity and gender nonconformity-based victimization and their effects on recurrent suicide risk to inform future interventions.

The Politics of Sex Offenders in the United States Since the 1960s
My dissertation investigates political and legal contests over sex offenders in the United States from the late 1960s to the mid-1990s. During this period, gay activists achieved the removal of state laws prohibiting some kinds of sex offenses, such as sodomy between consenting adults in private. However, the legal response to other kinds of sex offenses, such as child sexual abuse, became for more punitive. As it cuts across the history of sexuality, women's history, and the history of the carceral state, my project seeks to account for the losses that have attended this intensification of stigmatizing sex crime policies.

"The Queens of Lovetown: Michat Witkowski's Lubiewo and the Historical Other"
My project is chapter-length treatment of historicized sexualities in Michal Witkowski's novel, Lubiewo (Lovetown), which chronicles the sexual escapades of two aging cioty, or queens. Lubiewo dialogues with the burgeoning genre of the contemporary Polish gay novel, and demarcates between sexual and gender identities under socialism and the gej (gay) of the new capitalist era. Lubiewo playfully interrogates Western cultural colonialism, while eroticizing subjects rendered abject in mainstream political discourse. My dissertation examines how queer historiographical strategies of Polish LGBT historians and artists work to encourage or resist essentialist identitarian co-optation to which more "authoritative" historical work is susceptible.

The Bodies Politic: Women, Children, and Bio politics in Nationalist China
My research examines the significance of women and children in Guomindang (Nationalist Party) nation-building efforts in China from 1927-1937. During this "Nanjing Decade," the Guomindang aimed to revive the Chinese nation by strengthening the bodies of women and children. Textbooks, government policy, and censored news media charged women with producing and rearing virile sons capable of military service and healthy daughters who would become mothers themselves. I argue that the intersection of global, biomedical models of sexuality and local, state-supported Confucianism made the maintenance of healthy (heterosexual and reproductive) bodies a matter of both filial and national duty.

Discursive Politics of Gender in Haiti
My project analyzes face-to-face interactions within two Haitian development organizations. I focus on the social circulation of gendered norms and the mobilization of gendered organizational strategies. In an environment where information flow is always partial, negotiations about the kinds of evidence that "count" typify debates about social and political issues and bring to the surface normative ideas regarding gender, sexuality, and nationality. Participants also mobilized understandings of women/gender when envisioning effective organizational strategies. I investigate gendered strategies as a form of impression management in the face of foreign donors with participation of women contingent on controllability.

Constructing the Body: Young Women's Body Esteem and Differences by Sexual Identity
My project investigates how young women's sexual identities inform their perceptions of their bodies, specifically why sexual minority women report better body esteem than heterosexual women. By using cognitive interviewing techniques to assess young women's understanding of the Body Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults – a standardized, quantitative measure of body satisfaction – I challenge traditional health research methods that assume a universal female experience of the body. In recruiting women of diverse sexual identities to discuss their interpretations of this scale, I highlight how sexual identity constructs women's attitudes, values, and beliefs about their bodies' size, attractiveness, and desirability.

The Libidinal Economy of the Japanese Sex Industry: Sexual Politics and Female Labor
This dissertation is an ethnographic analysis of the mainstream Japanese commercial sex industry and the competing human rights movements that have formed around it. I argue that the political-economic, legal, and cultural structures that normalize sex industry work in Japan also legitimate a lack of attention to the human rights of female sex workers. This project theorizes how practices emerging out of the sex industry are linked to the gendered structuring of economic production on a national scale, and how competing human rights movements use different understandings of labor and sexual rights to mobilize resources to the sex industry in a context in which ideas about exploitation and sexual labor have hitherto rarely been invoked together.

The Hard Core Unemployed, Breadwinners, and Hardened Criminals: The Problem of Black Labor, Black Masculinity, and the Urban Crisis, 1967-1981
My project interrogates the relationship between perceptions of black masculinity and activist and policy responses to deindustrialization in Detroit between 1967 and 1974. I will particularly investigate leftists' analyses of black male labor and urban economics within the context of local and national discussions of urban revitalization between the late 1960s and through the 1970s. During this period, black and white radical activists, civil rights institutions, black labor groups, urban advocacy organizations, liberal policymakers, and business leaders deployed various gendered archetypes of black male labor – such as the hardcore unemployed – in their quest to address the urban crisis in U.S. cities.

"Feminist Activism for a Society Free from Violence: Producing Non-Violent Bodies and Households in Lebanon"
This project examines local feminists' struggle to protect women from domestic violence and marital rape in Lebanon. By relying on ethnographic research from Lebanese feminist non-governmental organizations and collectives, I look at how these organizations identified and produced certain gendered bodies and places as violent in Lebanon, and transformed them through different gendered bodies and places as violent in Lebanon, and transformed them through different interventions and programs like group therapy, psychological clinics for men, art therapy, legal activism and nationwide campaigns against domestic violence. By focusing on how Lebanese feminist activism imagined a society free from violence and problematized existing cultural notions of masculinity, domesticity, religion and the household, this project traces the new contested between feminist organizations, the Lebanese state and religious leaders, and examines the transformation of women victims of violence through their programs.

"Becky from Babylon" and Other Arab "Women in the American Imagination"
This project aims to analyze representations of the American Middle East, with a focus on gender and music. I am interested in examining textual and visual forms of representations of Arab/Middle Eastern women in the American imagination within available archival material. There is very little scholarship on the representation of Arabs and the Middle East in the American imaginary and discussion is scarce on how these cultural representations help form genderized social, racial and ethnic hierarchies. This research is original since bibliographic searches reveal little to no research discussing representations in music and gender together. My thesis will be in conversation with scholarly works from a variety of disciplines and will contribute to an under researched field as well as to the growing body of literature on Arab American feminisms.

The Black Woman that Media Built: Interpretation, Spirituality, and Scripts for Black Womanhood
This study explores the ways that Black women interpret their faith-infused media landscape (secular media and media with a particular spiritual message), and use those inferences to define the gender roles appropriate for Black womanhood. Thus, it is a study concerned with interactive processes of meaning making (understanding representations of Black womanhood at large) I collect qualitative interview data from 40 Black women: ten media professionals, and 30 audience members. Ultimately, I argue that Black women co-construct everyday literacies – ways of reading media, culture, and social experience – that shape their self-perception and performances of womanhood.

In 2001, News Corp. is the smallest of the major media and entertainment conglomerates, but it has the broadest global presence. In an effort to establish a major distribution presence in the United States, News Corp. had looked to acquire DirecTV, the largest U.S. direct broadcast satellite provider, in what many observers had considered would be a "transforming acquisition." After 20 months of trying to do so, and the recent competitive offer from Echostar, Rupert Murdoch, chairman and CEO of News Corp., withdrew the company's bid for DirecTV. This case describes how Murdoch has created a global empire from a single newspaper in Australia. News' major assets include its newspaper businesses, film and television production, satellite broadcasting, television channels, and book and magazine publishing. Also describes News' distinctive operating style and Murdoch's role in shaping the corporate culture. News Corp. must now confront three sets of questions. First, how important is it for News Corp. to establish a distribution presence in the United States, and should it pursue a different approach? Second, how should it tackle the deteriorating economics of two of its core businesses: newspapers and network television?

Fear of Flying
Looking for some resource help - or good tips - from any of you on this. I can't afford seminars right now, and would like to avoid drugs if possible (but I am actually considering asking a doctor for a sedative).
I actually worked myself close to a panic yesterday MAKING RESERVATIONS for a flight in December. !!!! My better self says "What's with that?" I've had a fear of flying much of my adult life, and although it hasn't stopped me from getting on a plane, I have to "drive" it along with the pilot the entire time I'm on it. I know it's probably compounded by the fact that I've been accident-prone lately - note that both the car accident in July and the walking/falling accident last week were both ON THE GROUND.
Common sense isn't helping, I'm afraid. I have to fly in small planes (like 13 rows of seats) from my home to connecting airport, and I worry about weather, ice in particular. Fear of crashing is definitely the underlying thing with me - and moreso the fear of pain and the fear of fear itself being my last thought(s) than fear of dying, even.
My last flight of length, in 2007 to the UK was without a hitch, and as good as it gets in terms of smoothness. As it was about 8 hours in the air, it would have been nice if I could have sat back and enjoyed it or concentrated on the book I was supposedly reading, instead of worrying the whole way and arriving rattled.
My web surfing hasn't turned up much of use. Any suggestions?
Drippy, if you haven't already researched this on your own, a good start may be to read this group of articles from Associated Content.
Turns out it's one of the more difficult phobias to treat because it's a combination of many phobias to varying degrees as listed in main article at link.
I have many of the phobias listed and currently don't "need" to fly so I just don't. Last time I flew was 1987 to Switzerland after qualifying for sales conference.
In '97 I drove straight through to Outer Banks (NC) for extended family vacation as plane wasn't an option for me. That was enough of a painful challenge.
Fear that I may have to fly to quickly reach a family member (particularly when my father goes to Florids for month or so in winter)due to serious illness or death is a genuine concern for me.
A few free online aviophobia "courses" are included at this link:
Doesn't hurt to read about it, do the free things first and then see where you are.
Even if you do need a sedative to get you on and off plane it would probably be better for you if you were prepared with every free assistance option used beforehand.
If you are as perceptive as your response to my "not sleeping" post then you understand why I'm having so much trouble sleeping...LOL.
It's not like you haven't had enough disturbances in your life over the last year or more to make you feel out of control over your life. Very often a latent fear can surface seriously when already stressed by other situations. The pump was primed for aviophobia to become more of a problem than something you could overcome before.
For those who believe "just do it" is sufficient to overcome phobias and anxiety disorders it's just not that simple. It's largely a cascading internal chemical reponse to a cluster of stimuli and there's no sense in not dealing with it in a manner than suits the individual.
Good luck, drippy. I feel ya. :)
PS...if all else fails the use of a mild sedative and a little something like "kahlua & coffee" on the plane should get you through the actual flights. Not long term solution but it could do in a pinch.
Here is a link that might be useful: Aviophobia Articles
Thanks, Leslie - I will check into this. I am going to this event in NY; it's too important to miss. I literally spent hours trying to figure out if there was any way I could do this besides flying, but there isn't. DH, who unfortunately can't fly with me at this time, is a fearless flyer and has been trying to give me lots of encouragement.
Kahlua & coffee sounds good, but these are both early morning flights, and I wonder about being loopy that early, LOL - I'll be trying to avoid the sedatives if possible. As I couldn't fly non-stop, there are 2 flights each way, both relatively short (under 3 hours each).
Drippy, you have my sympathies. I have gone through periods of time when I have avoided flying. When I was young, I loved to fly. Then I had a flight coming back from the West Coast that was so turbulent, it was white knuckles all the way home. I found myself more anxious before flight after that.
In looking back over the years, I can definitely see a pattern though. During stressful times, when things were not going well on many fronts, then flying would seem more fearful to me. I did start to feel like, 'what was going to go wrong next'. [g] When things were going well, I didn't find my anxiety about flying was a major factor and didn't stop me from going where I needed to go. So I would tend to agree with the idea that it is more than just about flying sometimes.
I've always been told, that flying is safer than driving. I'm sure everyone has heard that one. It never seemed to make me feel better though. When push comes to shove, I hate the feeling of anxiety and fear and will find a way of looking at things that will release me from it somehow. Either avoiding something or taking the approach that 'what will be will be'.
To tell you the truth, I enjoy driving and riding in a car. I hear such unhappy stories of people having to endure stopovers, delays, security at the airport. It sometimes takes as much time to fly as it does to drive. [g] Not to mention, not being exposed to a plane full of people who might have H1N1. I also LOVE train travel and would really look forward to that. :-)
Oh, just a follow-up - I made the trip. The weather was windy and rainy, so yes, there was turbulence, but nothing that made the flight attendants have to take their seats. I still had to help the pilots fly (LOL), but I think I did a pretty good job. I was actually able to watch some of the approach to Huntsville - even though that was the bumpier part (smaller plane), I'm a little less stressed when I can see the ground (I know that doesn't make any sense). So thanks for all who prayed & sent good wishes my way - it worked!
Thanks, Brandy - I just keep continually - like a mantra - reminding myself that most circumstances are not in my control, whether on the ground or in the air, and death is a part of living. It comes to us all someday; I just hope I can go gracefully when it does. Oh yeah, and that it's not anytime soon. :)
I flew to Zurich from Toronto in September. No Problem. Connecting flight to Nice was over the Alps. Beautiful as it was, I could not look out over those mountain peaks that looked like they were just below the plane. (An impossibility..we were at 20,000 feet.) My idea of flying is safe involves the plane being able to glide down to a safe landing spot if anything went wrong.
The Matterhorn is not included in my vision.
Bakemom, I don't think you're nuts. I absolutely avoid flying whenever I can - in March, I am making a 2-day trip on a Greyhound bus instead of what would be a 2-3 hour flight (2 planes, though) because I can stay on the ground.
I only fly when there is no other alternative than either flying or missing out on something very important to me. Even when I went to the UK in 2007, I scoped out boat travel, but simply didn't have the time to take. Ditto for this past trip - I could only be gone for the one day, and you can't get from AL to NYC in a day on the ground.
I am waiting for my husband to invent the transporter so I can beam myself wherever I want to go.

Migration & Development
Migration & Development

For years, Germany has been concerned about losing its top minds to the United States. While highly skilled individuals are leaving for the U.S., most of the increase is accounted for by temporary migrants, as Claudia Diehl of the German Federal Institute for Population Research and MPI's David Dixon reveal.
The assumption that brain drain is everywhere and always negative does not necessarily hold true and hides the need for a more nuanced methodology for assessing migration's impacts. Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah of the Institute for Public Policy Research explains.
In the early 1990s, Ethiopians who had been living in refugee camps in Sudan began to return home. As Laura C. Hammond of Clark University explains, they created a new community in an unfamiliar part of Ethiopia that is thriving 12 years later.
Belonging to a diaspora entails a consciousness of, or emotional attachment to, a place of origin and its culture. Steve Vertovec of the University of Oxford explains the role diasporas play in migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries.

Recent Activity
Migrants from the Philippines and Sri Lanka have taken on a growing role in filling labor shortages in Jordan, leading to significant challenges surrounding the recruitment of these foreign workers. Based on interviews with government officials in sending and receiving countries and focus groups with migrants, the report analyzes the role of private recruitment agencies and points to oversight gaps.
Civil society provides a crucial link between governments and the communities they represent—infusing policy processes with grassroots knowledge to which governments may not otherwise have access. Looking at the European Union's efforts to engage with civil society in its "neighborhood," this report examines the benefits, challenges, and mechanisms to building dialogue and cooperation on migration and development.
The report examines U.S. immigration and international development policies, which have unique objectives and respond to distinct political and administrative constraints, and points out that international development has never been a U.S. immigration policy objective; nonetheless, it is an unintended consequence.
Migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries rarely collaborate on migration issues because the structure of global migration systems ensures they often disagree about core policy issues. This report shows that migration collaboration makes sense when states share common goals they cannot achieve on their own.
Over the past year, MPI has partnered with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to examine how diasporas contribute to – or detract from - development efforts in their countries of origin. MPI and USAID have published an edited volume of the research. Please join us for the release of the book where speakers will discuss new thinking on the role of diaspora engagement in U.S. foreign and development policy.
This edited volume examines the development impact of diasporas in six critical areas: entrepreneurship, capital markets, "nostalgia" trade and "heritage" tourism, philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy.
This report provides an overview of diaspora advocacy by looking at five issues: who participates in diaspora advocacy, who or what are the "targets" in these efforts, what means are used to advance these causes, what are the issues on which they focus, and the effectiveness of the efforts.
This report examines the diaspora entrepreneurs who are often motivated to contribute to job creation and economic growth in their native lands, and offers some key findings and policy options.

BBSRC and Global Food Security at CropWorld 2010, 1-3 November 2010
1 November 2010
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week, many members of the BBSRC community will be attending CropWorld 2010 (formerly known as the BCPC Congress).
This is an international congress and exhibition for the sustainable crop production industry where BBSRC will be leading a Global Food Security exhibit in the Science Zone. Global Food Security is a multi-agency programme bringing together the food-related research interests of Research Councils, Executive Agencies and Government Departments. The exhibit will allow industry and other crop production research users to discuss how the programme partners are working together to maximise their effectiveness and impact in meeting the food security challenge.
On Tuesday, Maggie Gill, Chief Scientific Adviser - Rural Affairs and Environment, Rural and Environment Research and Analysis Directorate, Scottish Government, will introduce the Global Food Security programme to delegates attending the Science and Technology stream during the morning session.
On Monday BBSRC Chief Executive, Professor Douglas Kell will take part in a discussion entitled "My big idea - how we can feed the world" where he will discuss food security related research alongside five other speakers from organisations and businesses with an interest in agri-food research.
Also on Monday, Professor Maurice Moloney, Director of Rothamsted Research (an institute of BBSRC) will speak in the session entitled "Promoting an enhanced global understanding of science and research" as part of an international panel. He will be speaking on the importance of strategic land use facilities in meeting the food security challenge.
Other speakers from the BBSRC research community will be giving talks in both the congress and exhibition throughout the three days and will be covering topics including soil biodiversity, insect pollinators, and controlling crop pests.
Professor Janet Allen, BBSRC Director of Research and Chair of the Global Food Security Programme Development Board said "This is a great opportunity for our research community to network and share knowledge with others who are interested in ensuring we have a sufficient food supply from agricultural crops in the future. It is vital that opportunities for publicly funded research to feed into products, practices and technologies that can meet the challenge of feeding a growing world population are taken and CropWorld brings many of the key people together in one place. An event like this has the potential to facilitate and enable important new relationships and collaborations and for that reason alone it is tremendously exciting."

How to write a roleplaying description that pops {WoW}
Jan 28th 2012 2:57PM What always annoys me about characters describing their unblemished beauty is the sense of redundancy I get from it. I don't need your character description to remind me of how beautiful you are--it's kind of assumed for most roleplayers I meet. Especially las chicas--how much WoW fanart have you seen of old hags or muscly she-men? Long, flowery descriptions of a character's beauty just distract me from a real physical description.
Of course, there are times when it makes sense to dwell overlong on these sort of things. If you're playing some kind of courtesan or sensuous character, or need to describe a trait associated with beauty that your particular race is not known for, then it's necessary to the character's appearance to communicate such things. But for most characters, such writings come off as little more than a love letter to your own character, and instills the wrong ideas about what your toon is about.

Jan 20th 2012 2:50AM He did answer the question. He said they weren't going to because they'd rather spend those resources on the new content. Are you asking him to explain why the new content is better than remodeling? Why he thinks new content is better than remodeled content?
Blue Posts and Other WoW News: Characters being dark in the armory means nothing {WoW}
Jan 20th 2012 1:56AM How do you want him to phrase that answer so it doesn't sound like a cop out? Other than than, "Yes" ? I mean, "we don't have the resources to do this on top of what we already want to do, but we still have it on our arms-length priority list" doesn't sound like a cheap excuse to me. They aren't saying "magical technical hassle," or even the old "players might not like the changes so we are waiting." They'd just rather make new content for now.
The Queue: Dwarves, the answer to everything {WoW}
Jan 17th 2012 6:40PM I don't think adding high elves to the Alliance would cause a severe population imbalance. Most of the people playing blood elves wanted to play Horde before, but couldn't get over the appearance of the Horde races. The Alliance already has one or two "pretty" races; I can't see high elves suddenly causing people to sweep back into the capitol of Stormwind.
The Queue: Dwarves, the answer to everything {WoW}
Jan 17th 2012 6:35PM Except that the Dragonmaw are now members of the Horde, and the conflict between the Dragonmaw and the Wildhammer was one of the big stories this expansion. And even if the Dragonmaw (and the Revantusk) weren't involved, the Wildhammer aren't exactly the kind to forgive and let live. They're probably one of the most xenophobic, conservative races in the Alliance right now.

The WoW internet flipped and landed on its head when we found out that she wasn't dating Thrall, and that was never more than implications and rumors to begin with. Jainas become one of those "sweethearts of Warcraft"--I'm not opposed to something terrible befalling her myself, but you can bet your boots there would be a huge community outcry if she were to die or suffer a surprise change of character.
New character models are in the works {WoW}
Oct 23rd 2011 1:46AM You say this is a weird concept, but Blizzard has tried to perform minor edits to character models before, with very vocal and angry results, so it's a valid possibility for the devs to consider.

text: By Bob Robb, AmericanHunter.org contributor Those of you that have followed my writing for a while have come to realize by now that I am something of a putz in the woods. Sure, I shoot my share of game, but often that is simply the result of going a lot and being in the right place at the right time. Which is one reason why, regardless of whether I am hunting with firearm or bow, I never head afield without a laser rangefinder. In that regard, hunters have never had it so good. Laser rangefinders that work under all sorts of adverse conditions, give to-the-yard accurate readings, and also compensate for uphill/downhill shot angles are available at prices pretty much all of us can afford. Here's a look at the top models for 2011: Bushnell Sport 850: Lightweight and small enough for a shirt pocket, 4X magnification, rages targets from 5-850 yards, with built-in battery life indicator. About $180. Leupold RX-1000 TBR: Features Leupold's exclusive new DNA (Digitally eNhanced Accuracy) technology that provides super-fast target acquisition out to 850 yards with +/- half-yard accuracy. Also has a bow mode that gives 1/10-yard accuracy out to 125 yards. Weatherproof aluminum housing with rubberized grip. Incorporates Leupold's TBR (True Ballistic Range) angle compensation system. About $400 (black) or $420 (camo). Nikon Archer's Choice Max: Accurate to 1/10 yard out to 100 yards, this unit also features an active brightness control viewfinder that automatically adjusts the display and reticle to target color for easy readability, 6X magnification, water resistant housing, and is fogproof. About $330. Nikon Rifle Hunter 1000: Displays an accurate reading in 2/10-yard increments out to 999 yards, this unit features Nikon's exclusive active brightness control viewfinder that automatically adjusts the display and reticle to target color for easy readability, 6X magnification, water resistant housing, and automatically powers off after 8 seconds to preserve battery life. About $350. Redfield Raider 550: 6X magnification, with simple one-button operation, this is the lightest unit I've seen at a mere 5 ounces, it is simple and easy to use. About $170 (black) or $180 (camo). Simmons Vertical Rangefinder: In-View LCD display that gives distance readings from 10-600 yards, 4X magnification, weather-resistant housing, available in both black & camo finishes. About $119 (black) and $129 (camo). Wildgame Innovations R900X: Ranges an amazing range of between 5-500 yards (tree) or 5-2300 yards (deer), this unit features a scan mode that permits ranging multiple targets without reactivating the laser on each target. Also features 6X magnification, is water resistant, and has a battery level indicator. About $120.

The six National Forests in Mississippi provide a wide variety of nature-based opportunities. The Bienville, Delta, DeSoto, Holly Springs, Homochitto, and Tombigbee National Forests offer great recreation and archaeological resources.
There are a number of archaeological finds on these Forests. For example, the Delta National Forest boasts the Little Spanish Fort site, a prehistoric earthwork and mound dating between 150 BC and AD 400. And the Chickasawhay Ranger District has the mysterious xeric sites with cacti, gopher tortoises and evidence of peoples coming up from the Gulf Coast at circa AD 1300.
There are a number of recreational activities offered on each of the Mississippi Forests, for details visit each of these locations: Bienville, Delta, DeSoto, Holly Springs, Homochitto, and Tombigbee. We can only provide a sampling of all of the exciting recreational opportunities that await you in Mississippi.
On the Bienville National Forest, Marathon Lake and Shongelo Lake are primary recreation areas on these Forests, with activities ranging from picnicing to fishing. The Shockaloe Trail is a nationally recognized trail and is listed in the National Register of Trails.
The Puskus Lake Recreation Area is a lovely place to enjoy the natural beauty of the Holly Springs National Forest. Those looking for an alternative to crowded, concrete recreation areas will delight in Puskus Lake's natural beauty and quiet setting.
The Turkey Fork Recreation Area, in the Chickasawhay District, is nestled in the tall pines around an inviting 240-acre lake. The clean, clear water of Turkey Fork Lake provides excellent fishing, swimming, and boating opportunities. The lake is stocked with catfish, bass, and bluegill.
Homochitto National Forest is rich in wildlife and teeming with recreational activities. There are many hiking trails and a nationally-recognized mountain bike trail. Clear Springs Recreation Area offers swimming, camping, fishing and trails for hiking and biking.
The Davis Lake Recreation Area, in the Tombigbee National Forest, is located on the banks of a 200-acre lake. Enjoy a weekend of camping, fishing and swimming at this scenic spot.
The De Soto National Forest offers a few special features, including two wilderness areas (Black Creek and Leaf) and the state's only National Scenic River, Black Creek. The river is famous for its wide, white sandbars and relaxed floating pace.
There are 170 miles of trails on the De Soto for hikers, ATV riders, mountain bike riders, and horse riders. Two National Recreation Trails (Black Creek Trail and the Tuxachanie Trail) offer over 60 miles for hikers to explore the piney woods.

We've always admired Kim Kardashian. We're not entirely sure why. It could be for her talent as a socialite/telly personality/producer/actress/model. But it might just be because she's really rather hot and never slow to shed her pesky clothes.
We've also always valued her opinion on the female form.
"I love curves. Being super skinny just isn't attractive to me."
Couldn't agree more, Kim.
That statue better not slice that five-iron...
Now we can admire her taste in women, too.
"Megan Fox is so hot."
Yes, Kim. Yes she is.
"I rushed over and told her she was beautiful and I thought she was amazing."
Bet she's never heard that before.
"She's completely flawless, like a 50s starlet. She was so sweet about it, she was saying thank you and being really kind."
Alright, Kim. Don't overdo it, no one likes a try-hard.
"I love Victoria Beckham."
Love Kim? Do you really love her? Would you forego all others and sacrifice all other pleasures just to be with her? No, you wouldn't. So why say it?
"She needs to do a bit less pouting and a bit more gardening," is a sign we're getting old.
"She's not afraid to be herself, she has her own personality and I completely adore that."
Zzz. Bla bla bla generic powerful, independent woman drivel bla bla bla.
"She's brave and fearless."
Christ, Kim. Give it a rest, will you? Why don't you stop bleating on about other hot women and get back to doing what you do best – being hot.
That's better.

Research Areas: Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology
Research Interests
My work focuses on cognitive development with a special focus on memory development. Most of my research looks at how children and adults come to remember both good and bad experiences in their lives, and how these memories are related to well-being. Several of our projects examine autobiographical memory in teens and young adults exposed to various forms of abuse during childhood. We are investigating how these and other significant life experiences are retained and made sense of in memory. We are also examining the role of parent-child conversation in shaping how young children react to and remember negative events. The findings shed new light on big debates about emotional and traumatic memories, and on the role of social interaction as a driver of personal recollections. They also yield critical information about how to best talk with people of different ages about the distressing events in their lives.
My other research involves the application of cognitive and developmental science to applied questions about teaching and learning in higher education. This work looks at strategies for improving student learning in a research university context, for assessing student learning, and for using the evidence to improve the design and delivery of education.

Best Downtown Neighbors (2007)
Cali & Mo and Lilly Partain
Cali & Mo and Lilly Partain simply can't be mentioned separately. The sister stores, on the second level of the Pavilions, are the brainchildren of boutique entrepreneurs/friends Allison Leyn and Vicki Raichart, and both express a love of vintage -- but in different and equally charming ways. If Cali & Mo is a street girl, wrapped in her faintly upscale flea-market finds -- enameled tin sets, refurbished blazers, slinky new clothing, antiqued side tables, retro greeting cards and costume jewelry galore -- Lilly Partain is her Parisian cousin, flounced out in silky ruffles and flashing rhinestones and scented with hand-milled soaps. Old, new -- it's all mixed up between the two to create one wholly wonderful store.

Mobile peripherals 07, Conclusion
Report on the Fall 2007 IDF
Damien Triolet
Published on October 11, 2007
We now know the latest details concerning the release of the Core 2 Penryn on the 12th of November, first starting with the Core 2 Extreme QX9650. This quad-core processor will replace the current Core 2 Extreme QX6850.
A quad-core Penryn without the heatspreader and a Penryn wafer.
You may recall, Penryn processors represent a small evolution, in other words a « Tick » versus the « Tock » which is the introduction of an entirely new architecture. The Penryn thus brings in the 45 nm production process signifying a big evolution because the transistor itself has undergone major modifications. This is something that hasnt happened for a long time. We wont go into the details again which were already covered
Slight improvements compared to the current Core 2 have already been
described in March
. Simply remember the two main points: its L2 cache goes from 4 to 6 MB and SSE4 makes an appearance.
The Core 2 QX9650 will be set at the same frequencies as the current QX6850, including its FSB. The gain in performances will then come from small architectural modifications and should vary between 5 and 15% according to the numbers given by Intel. This is nice but not earth shattering, and actually we are awaiting a Penryn set at 3.33 GHz and not 3 GHz like the current high end. No one doubts that the reason for this non-increase in frequency is due to AMDs lack of competitiveness in the high end. In addition, the Phenom isnt expected to really compete with the Core 2 in this domain, mainly due to its lower frequencies. So what would be the purpose of launching a faster processor in November?
Surprised by AMDs announcement of the 4x4, Intels reaction was via the V8 platform whose main purpose was to show that they too could enter into the popular battle for who can be the biggest. While this platform is unequaled in terms of processor power, it suffers from a number of disadvantages, because its entirely based on server components ; server motherboard, Xeon and FB-DIMM memory. In short, its "general public" but doesnt really fit into this category.
If having a Xeon instead of the Core 2 didnt weigh on the conscience of power users, the price of the platform as well as the impossibility to do the least bit of overclocking or tweaking rapidly scared away the few people who might have opted for such a system.
With Skulltrail, Intel claims to have taken into account all of the criticism towards the first V8 version and will now offer the desired platform. So are we done with the Xeon? The FB-DIMM which has high heat production, a lower performance and is more expensive? No. Intel did hear the criticism but not for this. Actually, it appears they continue to create here but without really coming up with a product that is well adapted for this very high end platform. What does change is the motherboard. Now, even if its based on a server chipset, it will be completely oriented to power users.
Overclocking will be up to expectations and moreover, Intel has a SkullTrail platform with Penryns pushed to 4 GHz (not bad !). The only thing left is the price, which could scare some away and the fact that this extreme platform will especially be devoted to very high end machines of large PC manufacturers.
The V8 SkullTrail pushed to 4 GHz with an FSB 1600.
One particularly interesting item is that the SkullTrail motherboard that is produced by Intel will be CrossFire and SLI compatible with 2, 3 or 4 graphic cards! This is a first and the interest of this platform grows significantly thanks to this detail, although this only aims for a certain niche of well-off gamers. To offer SLI support, Intel had to place two MCP nForces on its motherboard, which only serve in relaying the graphic ports. In reality, Nvidia requires the presence of nForce chipsets solely to justify the marketing which says that SLI only functions with Nvidia chipsets. Of course from a technical point of view, this is false. It would have been better to see Intel and Nvidia agree on a license rather than seeing a PCB uselessly polluted by these nForce chipsets.
The SkullTrail motherboard. Note the two nForce chipsets next to the PCI Express ports to justify SLI support on a non-Nvidia chipset.
Whatever the case, this platform should be the most flexible on the market in terms of graphics. And moreover, it seems that Intel is saying to Nvidia ; "It appears you are capable of producing Quad-SLI Well, we are waiting!".

Facebook Messenger to arrive on Windows Phone 'soon'
Microsoft's Joe Belfiore said the app will come to Windows Phone in the next few weeks.
"Facebook Messenger is probably one of the most requested individual apps we have our customers asking for," Belfiore said during a press conference at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Windows Phone has received praise from reviewers, but that hasn't equated to blockbuster sales. Last year, handset vendors shipped 33.4 million Windows Phone devices globally, giving the operating system a market share of 3.3 percent, … Read more
