Welcome to the state's top 10 Germantown boys volleyball team.
Now you're going to get everyone's best shot.
And that was indeed the case Wednesday night at Whitefish Bay, as the Warhawks had to come back from a two games to one deficit to pull out a 23-25, 25-23, 20-25, 25-15, 15-9 decision against the determined Blue Dukes in a North Shore Conference dual.
"They just started to get the feeling (in the fourth game) that they were going to take control of the match and not let the officials decide it," said Warhawk coach Brian Rushmer. "We started getting the ball up better (on the dig) and that really helped."
"We have a lot of talent, but if you can't control the ball (on the dig) you can't win. You make a bad play, just move on."
Germantown, which entered the week ranked seventh in the state, a heady achievement for a program less than five years old, will get further challenges this Saturday, when it goes to the Waukesha West Invitational where six of the top eight state-ranked teams will be playing.
"We have so much talent and ability," said senior middle blocker Zak Showalter, whose better known for his all-state basketball duties in the winter. "When we figure it all out, we can be pretty special."
Figuring it out was exactly what the Warhawks did in the middle of the fourth game, as Bay held a 9-6 lead and looked like it was going to pull off the large upset and make a name for itself in the bargain.
But that was not to be the case, as Germantown flipped a switch, got the pass up successfully and went on a 15-2 run to take a 21-11 lead and eventually tie the match at two games apiece.
"We haven't played a single tourney yet or a really high level team before tonight," said Blue Duke coach Jason Zaleski, "and it showed up right about then. We played nearly flawlessly in the first couple of games, but we just couldn't sustain it."
Which is something the Warhawks did in the fifth and deciding game, pulling out to a 4-0 lead and never trailing. The Blue Dukes closed the gap to 5-4 on a 3-0 run, but then Germantown scored eight of the next 10 points to pull away for good.
Bay will be at the Arrowhead Invitational this Saturday.
'When we look good we can look really good," said Zaleski, "but when things go bad, they go really bad. We'll get some more reps on Saturday and that will help. A match like this will also help us when we go up against a good team again. We'll know what to do then."
The Blue Dukes were led by Zach Tazalla with 16 kills while Riley Mehls had 38 assists and Max Pignotti and Tazalla had 17 digs apiece.
Germantown was led by Matt Schultz with 18 kills and two aces while Showalter's younger brother Jake had 47 assists. Zak Showalter had eight blocks and several acrobatic saves while Corey Petta helped out with eight digs.
"We did well at the Racine Park tourney (a tie for third in the 32-team field a few weeks ago)," said Rushmer, "and now we have our full team together so we're working hard on communication and ball-handling now."
"We knew we'd have a good team this year, but we didn't know how good. I know we're not near our ceiling yet."

Charlize Theron in Paige Jimmy Jimmy Crop Jeans in Willa Destructed
Charlize Theron put money in the parking meter before making her way into the nail salon in West Hollywood, California. She was joined by Sean Penn shortly after.
Charlize wore a pair of Paige Jimmy Jimmy Crop Jeans in Willa Destructed with black flats and a black long sleeve tee. I think the addition of the oversize scarf here works really well as the look would have been quite minimal without it. What do you think of her outfit? Buy Paige online at Shopbop.com.

Charlize Theron in Citizens of Humanity Racer Jeans in Patina
Charlize Theron was spotted out to lunch with son Jackson and boyfriend Sean Penn in Malibu, California. The actress wore her favorite jeans at the moment, the Citizens of Humanity Racer in Patina, with a striped shirt.
I find the blue of these jeans to feel very rich. There is an oceanic tone to them that captures lighting very well and never looks bad in my opinion. You can click here to purchase these jeans from the Citizens of Humanity website for $198.
Charlize Theron in Citizens of Humanity Racer Jeans in Patina
Charlize Theron was spotted doing some grocery shopping with her son Jackson and boyfriend Sean Penn. The actress wore a pair of the Citizens of Humanity Racer Skinny in Patina with some sandals and a long sleeve t shirt.
There is really no pair of jeans on this planet that will ever look bad on Charlize and I am happy to see her wear the Racers by Citizens. They are one of my favorite styles that they have released recently. You can click here to purchase these jeans from Shopbop for $198.
Charlize Theron in Current/Elliott The Multi Zip Stiletto in Shadow
Charlize Theron was photographed running past the paparazzi after picking up some drinks at Starbucks. She was later seen getting into a car with Sean Penn. Charlize wore her Current/Elliott The Multi Zip Stiletto jeans in Shadow with a sweater and Nike trainers.
We've seen Charlize out in Current/Elliott quite a few different times and she tends to re-wear a lot of her pairs from seasons past. The last time we saw her in this pair was back in March. I like that she's chosen to style these more casually, by pairing them with trainers. You can buy Current/Elliott online from Shopbop.com.

Senior management is quick to throw store managers under the bus after the store manager goes above and beyond by working at other stores and/or does special projects for Senior management. When the store manager then needs something in return senior management will "forget" how you went the extra mile for them. They want a lot and give very little.
Big Con-Local Store Marketing. Lower and middle management knows it is ineffective but lack the courage to tell this to senior management, consequently, the same marketing keeps being done with different results expected. (definition of insanity)

Motostalgia Auctions and SVRA announce joint venture
The SVRA's Trans-Am class runs at Circuit of the Americas. Still image from video below.
This year, the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association will host 18 vintage racing events from coast to coast, at which an estimated 5,000 drivers will participate. Given this captive market, a tie-in to an auction company makes perfect sense, and on February 19, Motostalgia announced it will be entering into a long-term relationship with the SVRA to host sales at select vintage racing events, beginning in 2015.
The first such auction will take place during the SVRA's Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational, scheduled to take place from June 10-14 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Though details are still being finalized, Motostalgia is planning a gala and auction preview for Thursday, June 11, followed by the auction itself on June 12. Additional sales will likely be added to the SVRA racing calendar, though it's not yet clear how many and at which events.
Founded in 1981, the SVRA sanctions vintage races at renowned tracks from coast to coast, including Sebring, Road America, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Mid-Ohio, Watkins Glen, Sonoma (formerly Sears Point) and Willow Springs. In 2013, the series introduced a U.S. Vintage Racing National Championship at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

Scale cars of Brazilian artist to cross the block
Photos courtesy Motostalgia.
By day, Leonarde Pavani runs a newsstand in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but his spare hours are spent constructing intricately detailed models of classic sports and racing cars. Counting the time spent researching a model prior to the start of scratchbuilding, Pavani spends between two and four months building each car, ensuring that virtually no detail is overlooked. At this weekend's Motostalgia auction in Austin, Texas, a collection of 20 cars built by Pavani will be offered for sale, with the lot expected to fetch between $20,000 and $30,000.
Each model contains between 1,300 and 1,500 pieces, most hand-crafted from aluminum, brass, plastic or other materials. Dimensions for bodies and frames are obtained from factory blueprints (when available), backed up by photographs unearthed in Pavani's research, most of which is conducted over the Internet. Though not as polished as some of the other scratch-built models we've featured, Pavani's works have an undeniably charming folk art feel to them, and each one-of-a-kind creation shows an artist's eye for detail.
Per Antonio Brunet, co-founder of Motostalgia Auctions, Pavani and his previously unknown work were discovered quite by accident, while Brunet was filming a vintage-car-hunting show for the Discovery Channel in South America. Seeing the film crew on the street near his newsstand, Pavani made repeated attempts to catch the eye of the show's producer, each met with an (increasingly less gentle) rebuff. Finally, to placate Pavani, the producer agreed to have a look at one of the Brazilian's creations, and was impressed by the model's level of detail. That's where Brunet got involved, and quickly recognized that he was looking at something exceptional.
For his part, Pavani never expected to make a living (or even supplemental income) off his hobby, but that may change once his work is discovered by collectors. Depending upon the interest in the lot of 20 models being sold this weekend, Pavani may be spending less time at the newsstand and more time at his workshop.
The models are scheduled to cross the block as part of Motostalgia's Grand Prix Auction on Saturday, November 16. For additional details, visit Motostalgia.com.
UPDATE (2.December, 2013): The Pavani models sold for a hammer price of $9,200.
Tazio Nuvolari's last racer, a 1950 Cisitalia Abarth 204 A Spyder Sport, heads to auction
The ex-Nuvolari Cisitalia Abarth 204 A Spyder Sport. Images courtesy of Motostalgia.
Tazio Nuvolari's prewar racing exploits are the stuff of legend, and Ferdinand Porsche himself once remarked that the Italian was "the greatest driver of the past, the present and the future." Following the conclusion of the Second World War, Nuvolari, then in his mid-50s, returned to compete in the occasional race, but he was no longer the dominant force he'd been in his youth. His final race, behind the wheel of a 1950 Cisitalia Abarth 204 A Spyder Sport, saw him finish first in class at the 1950 Palermo-Montepellegrino Hillclimb. Now, for the first time since 1978, Nuvolari's last race car will be offered for sale at auction.
Already significant as the final chapter for Cisitalia and the beginning chapter for Abarth, the 204 A Spyder Sport is an important piece of racing history. Chassis 04, fitted with 1.1-liter engine 014-1090, is well-documented as the car Nuvolari drove in his final race, and has been in the possession of an Argentinean collector for 35 years. Restored in 2010, the car comes complete with the same footrest used by Nuvolari at the Montepellegrino Hillclimb, as well as the original cork-wrapped steering wheel, the latter no longer fitted to the car to preserve its condition. In 2012, the car was awarded the Premio Speciale FIVA (for the most historically significant car) at the Mille Miglia, and was later displayed at the prestigious Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este.
Chassis 04 was built by Cisitalia in 1948, then modified by Abarth in April of 1949 (at which time it was also given an Abarth chassis number, 08) and titled as a 1950 Abarth. Upgraded with twin Weber carburetors, the single-cam engine was said to make as much as 80 horsepower, more than enough to make the tube-frame racer competitive in its class. Part of the Squadra Carlo Abarth team, the 204 A Spyder Sport was first raced at the 1950 Giro di Sicilia/Targa Florio, where Nuvolari retired early in the race with a broken gearbox. Its next outing was the Palermo-Montepellegrino Hillclimb, where Nuvolari drove to an in-class victory (and fifth overall) in his final race. Though he never officially retired, Nuvolari never again drove competitively and died of a stroke in 1953.
Squadra Carlo Abarth campaigned the car throughout 1950, earning a single win and a pair of podium finishes. From 1953 until August of 1954, Ernesto Ferri raced the Cisitalia in Europe, but the car was shipped to Argentina later that year. Beginning in October of 1954, chassis 04 was driven at events in South America, first by Jorge Saggese and later by Raul Pereiro and Oscar Victorio Silich.
In 1966, the Cisitalia was acquired by the Asociación Argentina de Automóviles Sport, to be used as a training vehicle for up-and-coming racers. Little is known about the car's successive history until 1978, when it was acquired by noted Cisitalia Expert Dr. Sergio A. Lugo, who has owned the car since.
The Motostalgia sale, to be held in conjunction with the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, represents the first time Nuvolari's last race car has been on U.S. soil. The last Nuvolari racer to come to auction, a 1935 Alfa-Romeo 8C-35 Grand Prix car, set a record for the brand when it sold at auction earlier this month for $9.4 million. Motostalgia has not released a pre-auction estimate, but it's worth noting that another Cisitalia Abarth 204 A Spyder Sport, this one without celebrity ties or an extensively documented racing history, was offered at Bonhams 2012 Quail Lodge auction, where it failed to meet the pre-auction estimate of $500,000 to $600,000.
For more information on the Motostalgia sale, scheduled for November 16, visit Motostalgia.com.
UPDATE (2.December, 2013): The 1950 Cisitalia Abarth 204 A Spyder Sport sold for a price of $4.62 million, establishing a new world record price for a Cisitalia sold at auction.

ThinkPad Yoga 11e review: A hidden Chromebook gem
With its exceptional build quality and outstanding (and flexible) display, Lenovo's new Chromebook is a meaningful notch above the rest.
Chrome OS
- Acer Chromebook 15 review: A large laptop with ample appeal
- Chromebook Pixel (2015) review: A cloud dweller's dream machine
- Is Chrome OS right for you? A 3-question quiz to find out
- 6 important things you might not know about Chrome OS upgrades
Chromebooks are quickly becoming a dime a dozen -- but for all the hardware options out there, we've yet to see a Chrome OS product that offers an elevated experience without a sky-high price tag.
Sure, you've got the top-of-the-line Chromebook Pixel, but it costs a whopping $1,300. If you're looking to spend any less than that, you're pretty much limited to a low-end device with a lackluster display, mediocre build quality and/or poky performance.
Lenovo is ready to deliver something different. The company's ThinkPad Yoga 11e Chromebook, on sale only directly from Lenovo for $455, is the first Chromebook to truly target the midrange market. Hardware quality aside, the device offers some interesting and unusual features -- like the ability to function as both a touch-enabled laptop and a fully flattened-out tablet (an ability that is already available from several Windows devices).
So what's the ThinkPad Yoga 11e Chromebook like to use in the real world and is it worth the higher-than-average asking price? I've been living with the product for the past week to find out.
Body, design and display
Let's get one thing out of the way first: The ThinkPad Yoga 11e Chromebook is not a sleek or particularly pretty laptop. The system is more rugged than sexy, with a 3.3-lb. reinforced frame designed to withstand all sorts of wear and tear.
The Yoga 11e Chromebook was originally created for use in the classroom and it shows: The laptop feels extremely durable and well constructed, with none of the flimsy surfaces or cheap-feeling materials you frequently see on lower-end devices. From the rubber bumper around its lid to strengthened ports and hinges, the Yoga 11e Chromebook is built to last. Lenovo says the system is even MilSpec-tested and certified for its durability.
Don't let that scare you, though: While the Yoga 11e Chromebook is a bit on the clunky side, it's actually quite pleasant to use. Aside from the high-end Pixel, it's by far the sturdiest Chromebook I've tried -- the level of quality was apparent from the moment I picked it up. This thing is really just in a different league from almost every other device out there.
Beyond the frame, the Yoga 11e's keyboard is exceptionally good, with firm, deep keys that provide just the right amount of give. And its trackpad is no less impressive: The surface feels strong and smooth, and is as responsive as can be. It's what you'd expect from a ThinkPad, not from a Chromebook -- and I mean that in the best possible way.
Then there's the display: The ThinkPad Yoga 11e Chromebook has an 11.6-in. screen that'll spoil you for most other Chrome OS products. The reason is that the display uses an IPS LCD panel, which is a significantly higher-quality screen technology than the TN panels built into most Chromebooks today.
The system's 1366 x 768 resolution may not be extraordinary, but the Yoga 11e's screen looks very good, with clear text and rich, realistic colors. It's bright with excellent viewing angles and remains visible even in glary conditions.
The display is much easier on the eyes than any TN panel I've experienced -- even a 1080p TN panel like the one on Samsung's Chromebook 2. Compared to pretty much any Chromebook other than the Pixel, in fact, it looks fantastic. It's a reminder that the quality of a screen depends on more factors than simply its resolution.
The many states of the Yoga 11e Chromebook
Image quality is only the start of what sets the Yoga 11e's screen apart. The display is touch-enabled and tilts back a full 360 degrees, which really opens the device up to some interesting possibilities.
You can push the Yoga 11e's display back about 300 degrees to use the system as a stand-supported slate, much as you can with the lower-end Lenovo N20p Chromebook that I reviewed last week. You can also take things a step further and push the screen all the way around to form a flat (though somewhat thick) tablet.
Either way, you end up interacting with the device solely by touching its display. The physical keyboard is automatically disabled in those scenarios and a virtual keyboard appears on-screen when you need it.

Demi Lovato Responds to Hater Who Called Her 'Fat' With Message of Love
What's Demi Lovato's new motto? Kill 'em with kindness.
What's Demi Lovato's new motto? Kill 'em with kindness.
Lady Gaga's controversial SXSW performance, which saw her being vomited on by a performance artist while performing 'Swine,' has drawn its fair share of criticism. Demi Lovato, who is the de facto spokeswoman for the issues that affect our youth, took to Twitter to accuse Gaga of glamorizing eating disorders with her antics and behavior.
Check out the 40 songs in KISS' rotation for the month of January!
While Ashton Kutcher is viewed as the hunk of the now-defunct 'That '70s Show,' it's his co-star Wilmer Valderrama who is truly the chick magnet, having dated Demi Lovato, Lindsay Lohan, Mandy Moore and, well, more! Rumors are circulating that the actor and Lovato, 21, are about to get engaged, and there's interesting evidence to suggest this may be the case.
It's that time of year. That time where we look back on the good, bad, and ugly of the past 365 days. In this case, we're looking at the good. Specifically, what you thought were the best songs of 2013.
Formerly troubled songstress Demi Lovato sat down to talk to 'Access Hollywood' about her past and the most recent topic of discussion was her self-harm.
Demi Lovato gets wet and glows in the dark in her video for 'Neon Lights.' She performs in a pool and in the club, two polar opposite scenarios. The sole connective tissue is how hot and saucy Lovato looks.
She sang to sobbing fans last time she appeared on 'Live With Kelly and Michael,' but this time Demi Lovato skipped the performance and brought a bunch of dish instead!
Demi Lovato contributed the song 'Heart by Heart' to the soundtrack of the movie 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bone,' which is out Aug. 20. Consequently, that's the singer's 21st birthday.
Demi Lovato is doing big things these days! The 'Made in the USA' songstress could very well clean up at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards with all her nominations!
Who is this stunning specimen? It's Demi Lovato!
The singer is very haute in the spread for Canada's Fashion, so that makes her high 'Fashion.' She is utterly classic and chic in an array of tailored, pulled-together ensembles in the black and white palette. Lovato is so hot, in fact, that we expect the screen to spontaneously combust if we look at the photos for too long.

Great place to stay and a great price. Everything you need is in condo. There is a free shuttle to the village if you do not want to walk but the walk is not bad at all. I would rent from Karen Thomas again.
We were looking for a place with more than one room since we have small children, and this was perfect. The price was very reasonable, and the condo itself was well kept and clean. It's nothing fancy, but exactly what we were looking for. We were in unit 104. We could hear the elevator, but since we were there off...
We stayed here with three teenage boys and had a good experience. Just an easy level "walk-ski" from the slopes, and served by the free shuttle bus, it was very convenient. The condo itself was nothing special but it was comfortable and had all the basics. From our perspective, Whistler/Blackcomb gives exceptionally good customer service, so it was no surprise...
We booked through a Whistler travel website (whistler.co m) and got a great deal. This place is great if you just want a nice place to stay close to the slopes. Our unit had a full kitchen (I think they all do) and that worked out great for us. Its about a 200 yard walk to the slopes in the...

Anyone had success with checkered lily / fritillaria meleagris?
Saw some fritillaria meleagris for sale and almost bought them - again! I've planted twice, but never see them after that. I can grow just about anything, and it is hardy here and right pH, so . . . what's the trick?
Late to emerge? Sensitive to ? Advice please :-)
My experience is that it may not be particularly long lived. But if happy, it may self-seed nicely. Allegedly resents disturbance after being established. I have a species named nigra which is similar but taller and up to 5 flowers on the stems. It clumps nicely. Also recommended: meleagroides and ruthenica(but more expensive and rare)
On the other end of the soil spectrum from sand..... mine are in a part of the garden that oozes water as you walk across the soggy clayish surface. They are doing well now for three years and I keep waiting for a spring where a bunny doesn't nip off the stems just as they are coming into bloom. They are not eatten, just nipped off at the ground.
Maybe you could get the same effect by taking a string trimmer to them just as they are about to come into bloom? Maybe that will help?
Have you been buying them in the spring or have you tried planting the bulbs in fall?
They are native here but rare. The best places for them are damp meadows with good drainage. I have a few but they are not happy. They reappear every year but don't flower well.
Here is a link that might be useful: Snake's head fritillary
in my yard..
its sand.. little mulch.. barely any water.. and benign neglect .. go figure. ..
in the 12 years we have been here.. my wife did ONE thing in the garden .. ONCE ... and that was pull out all the grass in the rock garden one day ..
luckily i walked by.. and replanted all the fritillaria ... before they dried out ...
you might increase your odds.. by clearly marking the spot ... so you dont pull out the grass in late summer/fall ...
come to think of it.. mine are all in the shade ... and very shallowly planted ... as most self sown plants are ...
I had them at my old house in Anchorage, Alaska and they flourished for the fifteen years that they were in my custody. They were there when we moved in and were planted in well drained, lean soil on the north side of the house (but in Alaska in June that means several hours of weak direct sun from 10pm until midnight or so). All I ever did to them was a bit of fertilizer once a year if I remembered. Once I tried to divide them; they didn't like that but did bounce back.
Thanks everyone. I can't remember if I bought in spring or fall, but probably on clearance so maybe they were too dried up.
Or . . . Ken may have provided a clue - perhaps it looked like grass and I pulled them out?? I've done worse.
Seems lots of people have good luck with them, perhaps I'll try again and clearly mark the site so I don't accidentally remove / replace them.
Flora - damp meadow with good drainage - isn't that a bit of an oxymoron? If it's damp, it wouldn't have good drainage. or perhaps you mean moist, but not quite a bog.
Will give them another try . . .
Damp with good drainage means plentiful moisture but not stagnant. It is possible to have damp soil which drains well. They are increasingly rare here but where they do grow it is in riverside meadows.
Here is a link that might be useful: Snakeshead fritillary
I've never done well with any Fritillaria, but these. Mine are in partial shade, average soil, good drainage and get watered often. I really need to divide these because I dug a clump by accident and the bulbs were right at the soil surface, barely covered. I know I planted them a lot deeper.
They bloom like crazy every year.
I planted these as bulbs in the fall a couple years ago. Mine are all in the grass under shade trees scattered here and there. It's typical silty loam soil that can get pretty damp in the spring because we are low lying, but dries out over the summer. They seem to like it there.

1188 Tasting Notes
I am hosting a New Years party, and so am cleaning the house, and prepping for overnight guests (they'll be staying, rather than driving home in the dark and dangerous New Years post-party travel.)
So, a lot of tea to help me along.
I think I oversteeped this today. It was a little bitter, with less of the fruity and rosy flavors that I remember from the first steeping. Hmm.
Well, on to the next cup!
Today I am tasting the black tea base, and nothing else that has been advertised. Gah. Where is my toffee goodness.
I am still not finding a solution for these teas from Simpson and Vail. Bah.
Overleafing (like 1Tbsp/8oz) for 2.5 mins at 180 didn't help? Shoot. They are super finicky. I found a few that ended up ok like that, but will never reorder due to how touchy they are.
Mmm. Almond. I do love you, almond.
This smells lovely, once brewed up. Light, with that warm scent of almonds wafting gently from my cup.
It sips like this too, light and sweet and vaugly nutty. Not the most almond intense tea I've ever drunk, but there is something undeniably French about it (which fits, after all, its French tea) and as a Francophile, this is great news.
Thank you to JustJames, who continues to make my day with the tasty teas.
This tastes mostly like base, and not like vanilla. Just the faintest aftertaste.
Hmm. Well, I will try the next time to overleaf this, and see what that does.
That's too bad. I had a feeling this one would fall short and luckily didn't order it. Have you found ANY luck with the ones you've ordered?
Mixed results. Many are drinkable tea, but I'm not swooning over anything, or much impressed. But I have a couple that I have not tried yet. Experimentation continues.
Maybe there is something wrong with my batch. I am still not impressed.
I can taste the almond, but its normal almond, not a sweet almond, if that makes any sense. And I am getting none of the sugar or the cookie aspects of this. This is a problem, as I have a sweet tooth the size of my head, and tea is an outlet for this. Tea will not make me gain insane amounts of weight, like an endless supply of baked goods will.
Gah. And I have a lot of this Simpson and Vail tea, as I got a fair amount with my black friday orders. And the paper packaging worries me, just a little.
Well, I will make an effort to drink this all quickly, both for purposes of freshness, and for reasons of meh.
Try overleafing and then steeping for like 2.5 minutes at around 180. That pulls out some cookie flavor. I was really disappointed in this tea too until I tried that. Still not mind blowing, but if you have more to get through, it might help.

Nice and relaxed couple. Glad to had them as guests! Very respectful of our place, left everything clean and tidy at departure. Thanks Melanie and hope you enjoyed your time in Puerto Rico!
Jessica was awesome! Seriously a cool woman, great to get to meet and talk to. She was a wonderful asset to the place, and I much enjoyed getting to meet her friend as well. If you have the chance to host her you should jump at the opportunity. I hope that I get to see her again.
Jessica and her two friends stayed at our riad for 3 days. They were determined to cram in as much as possible into their short time in Marrakech. Shopping in the souk, seeing all the sights, going up to the mountains and of course the bellydancing. They also enjoyed the tranquillity of the calm riad and roasting in front of our log fire. Jessica and her friends were charming and friendly, great guests who we would love to have back when they are next in Marrakech.
It was a pleasure for us to host Jessica in our apartment. She left her room in perfect condition, we had some nice chats, it was a really relaxed atmosphere!
Jessica is a great guest. Treated the place like her own and left it in perfect condition. I sincerely hope to host her again in the near future. Thanks!

How are you all liking MoP? Alliance must hate it since we barely got any server first. My favorite part about the entire thing is the fact that horde are just begging to be ganked, I can barely get a quest done for all of them wanting to die! Don't be afraid to pay me money to leave you alone
Gratz to everyone on their server first
It's a nice change. Pandaria is pretty cool, and the quests aren't too bad. Dungeons are faceroll. I constantly hear people complaining about you ganking them all the time. It's awesome. Haven't really seen that much alliance, only ganked 5 or 6 so far :(
I like MOP so far love when horde gank me and I come back and camp them over and over I'm sure jimmi knows who I'm talking about.
Oh and everyone was crying about pandas I think they're awesome looking to be honest lol monks are cool too
Whenever I login my craving for Chinese takeout increases exponentially. It makes questing a lot harder cause then all I can think about is sweet-n-sour chicken and green tea.
Seeing chunky pandas in-game makes me want to eat lo-mein and white rice forever. <3
I won't be playing much unless I can replace my videocard which is !@#$ting the bed.
My favorite part of MoP leveling has been Jimmi knocking me out of jade forest and swimming around level 90 sharks to get back to a flightpoint. No lie.
Mahourai goes swimming
Cratling, my first gank in MoP. Should be an achievement
Grats to:
Ice for server first 90 Monk
Zuldo for Server first 90 Warrior
Scoobie for server first 90 Shaman
Zulro for server first 90 rogue
Beladonis for server first 90 Paladin (and realm first 90)
now that i'm done speeding through the zones to level...i'm ajusting and appreciating...only thing i don't like so far is x-server world bosses
Grats to:
conveniently left out first 90 druid (and second 90)..
There were two head to head. by the lack of druid in this post i assume it wasn't the Zbro that won.
Same with Death Knight. Raj was beat by less than 60 seconds by Bananeone in KoD. I'm friends with both and was cheering em both on, i thought Raj had it til the chatbox said otherwise.
Just cuz they aren't in your guild doesn't mean they shouldn't get mentioned. It was a good race, and as such, all people who crossed the finish line should get mentioned.
Also, Panda land isn't CRZ. It will be, but it is not yet.
If you see anyone from other realms, they are here through party via Real ID with a Ysondren.
Edited by Unclescar on 9/26/2012 1:02 PM PDT
in reply to ^
I didn't know the names of the other people who got server firsts, i was sleeping when they got it, or else i would've said them...
therefore that being said, B*tch harder...was just grats'ing the people i know and adore.
Grats to Carbon from <Lethal> For server first hunter ;)
Someone from ysondre can make a raid group and mass summon all mass people from another server and take the bosses is my issue
90 Human Rogue
You should be x-posting these to the Vydia Program thread as well.
As a sidenote to this post, it was more than that, because Realm First actually has a minute window where multiple people can obtain it.

The charity I am supporting in this venture is Cure for MND Foundation. They are raising funds for research to cure Motor Neurone Disease, a terrible debilitating and deadly illness with no known cause and no cure. If you are interested in knowing more the website is www.curemnd.org.au.
If you are interested in getting involved with the TV show, you can vote to keep me in the jungle (or to make me do disgusting challenges!). Voting does not need to cost anything as it can be done via Twitter and Facebook. I am really committed to trying my best to win for the charity and would love your support! (more voting info at tenplay.com.au)
So I'll have a busy few weeks ahead, a bit of an adventure abroad. Love to you all, I'll see you when I get out of the jungle.
Love Julie

There's No Business Like Sideshow Business
Ah, the carnival the epitome of family fun times, right? Wrong! Sure, some fun may be had, but there's also a seedy, creepy underbelly to the laughter and lights of the midway, one that reeks of burning popcorn, stale cotton candy and engine grease from death-trap rides! Not to mention (shudder) carnies! And that's exactly the atmosphere that the great Dana Gould and Dave Koechner are hoping to tip you head-first into with Carnyville, an evening of comedy and music intended to "re-create the golden era of life along the midway. With standup, special guests, music and a creepy sense of creepitude." Lending their talents to the creepitude along with your hosts will be Eddie Pepitone, Ali Wong and others. All for 10 measly bucks, which would buy you a candy apple, five chances to lose a big stuffed poodle and whiplash on the Tilt-a-Whirl. Isn't this more fun?

There are a couple of noticeable trends this week, one of which is plainly obvious from the titles listed below. There are a lot of "and" pictures being released today, movies that attempt to use the bifurcating connective word as indicative of dichotomy, difference or dynamic. Unfortunately, they all don't share a singular cinematic value. The other fad is more mercantile, and isn't noticeable until you dig down deeper into the overall product list proper. For example, 8 May will see the release of a Dirty Dancing 20th Anniversary Special Edition, a Donnie Brasco Extended Version, and of all things, a director's cut of Tom Hank's That Thing You Do. Sure, this is all part of the notorious double dip, but the tactic here is also a little more subversive. By cleaning up the cutting room floor and affixing deleted content back into the print, the studio can claim it's new and work their way into your wallet once again. So tread softly and choose wisely this tricky Tuesday – at least when considering anything other than our rock solid SE&L pick:

There's a great article at CNET called The P2P mistake at Ohio University written by the head of BitTorrent, concerned a certain mid-west campus which has banned P2P (peer to peer) computer use on campus. Granted that the author is bound to defend his own turf (BitTorrent being the P2P poster child) but he makes an impressive case of how Ohio U is throwing the baby out with the bath water by ignoring the promise and other uses of P2P other than illegal downloads.

Our favorite Icelandic pixie songstress is back with her sixth album. Volta is a grouchy affair, whether burning hot with big beats and booming vocals or brewing in a bad mood. Evaluated purely for its placement along her artistic trajectory, the record finds Björk successfully pushing into new realms, moving restlessly and relentlessly forward. As with 2004's Medúlla, however, the trails that she blazes are sometimes difficult for the listener to navigate.

Grant McCracken, an academic who went over to the dark side to become a marketing consultant, had a post about how brands could profit from working in some ambiguity and interpretative possibility into its advertising. After citing 15th-century courtier Castiglione's notion of sprezzatura (cultivating the air of naturalness; a bit of a paradox) and fop forerunner Beau Brummel's happy fashion accidents, McCracken encourages marketers to make brands into something like "round characters" from a fiction workshop:
What we want are brands that invite our involvement and then reward it. Involvement takes complexity and the willingness to open the brand to a variety of interpretations and the possibility that some of these interpretations will prove a little insipid. What we are doing here is buying sublime brand moments at the cost of some that are ill formed and unsuccessful. Let us try out Castiglione's and Brummel's advice. I mean, we keep saying that marketing is a conversation. Perhaps its time to make brands creatures worthy of talking to.
Sprezzatura means not getting caught trying too hard; McCracken wants brand builders to seem not to be trying—he wants them to act as if what the brand becomes is a matter of indifference to them: "Sales? Who cares. The brand must become what it wants to be." The brand will manage itself spontaneously in the minds of eager consumers, who will make it into what it must be to survive. McCracken never questions the benevolence of branding, never doubts that they enrich our lives and that brand equity is manna from heaven, not value expropriated from elsewhere.
The argument McCracken makes seems like an argument in the same mold as Steven Johnson's case that TV is more sophisticated and its viewers are performing all sorts of high level mental operations in parsing the plot of 24. The complexity engages consumers rather than puts them off, and their brains are so adapted as to not regard this complexity as difficulty; instead they process it as pleasure. McCracken is also advocating a less instrumental approach to marketing, to make campaigns rich with detail and emotive potential but to not have a precise goal—in other words, to make them like character studies.
But brands are not characters; they are not sentient beings, and they can't hold up their end of a conversation. I'm highly skeptical that marketing is a conversation—it's a one-way conversation at best and it's not a very sophisticated one: "Use our crap, it's cool!" Marketing is a medium for a communication between buyers and sellers, and its purpose is generally to mask asymmetries in information that make buyers generally wary.
Whatever subtleties come out of marketing usually come from marketers' attempts to adapt to the ways consumers actually use their products in spite of how they are marketed. But this in turn undermines the usefulness to the consumer, who (if he is pursuing cool) is trying to distinguish himself and stand apart from what advertisers hype. Perhaps this is what McCracken means: advertising should be deliberately misleading so that users of the product can more easily feel as though they have outwitted the marketing to penetrate to some authentic usage of a product that reveals the user's uniqueness in the face of the mass market object.
Anyway, the main objection I have to all this is the idea that brands can come to stand in as people, that we might forget that brands are mediums and anthropomorphize them. That's why adding brands to friends lists on MySpace seems so creepy to me. Once brands could be indicators of specific qualities, but now they are so fluid in meaning that they obfuscate the nature of the products they represent, and signal something altogether independent of the goods. When brands are ascribed human traits, it masks their true function (signaling that makes status concrete, makes class more impermeable) and gives them a phony agency that conceals the actual operators behind them.
If the term "citizen journalist" immediately brings to mind Wolf Blitzer in the Situation Room calling on viewers to send in their hurricane footage, then think again.
The Sunlight Foundation is tapping public expertise and enthusiasm to investigate federal government waste and corruption. It's part of a trend toward using the Internet to make a variety of technologies available to the public, and then inviting people to use these tools to participate in an investigation.

Embroidering on Diapers
Does anyone know the correct way to embroider on a dsq Diaper? I am trying to personalize some for my grandson, and the thickness seems to be a problem for me? If I use a 2-6-2 or 4-6-4 is that too thick?
Also, do you need a stablizer on the top, and bottom of the diaper inside of the hoop??
Thanks so much for all of the help!!!
PLEASE explain how not to hoop a diaper!!
I am new to this diaper embroidery, have always used a sulky top, and cut away bottom. I dont how else to embroider without a hoop, how does it move if it is not in the hoop?????the numbers represent the thickness of the diaper,side, middle side 2/6/2 Do you use a prefold, or the gauze..Any help would be greatly appreciated, also do you use a sharp or ball point needle on diapers??
I'm not joansews4u, but I will explain. Joan said - I use a bottom stabilizer in the hoop & spray it with adhesive spray & stick the diaper to it. So the diaper is stuck to the stabilizer which is in the hoop. So it moves with the hoop. I basically do the same thing, but I don't use adhesive spray. Instead I pin the diaper onto the bottom stabilizer, and then sew a basting stitch around the design before stitching the actual design.
Hope this explains it for you.
So you would make sure that the diaper does NOT move within the hoop, correct? That helps the diaper from not moving, but my problem is that the hoop sometimes pops open, and once that happens, the design is ruined!! I was unsure what thickness is to thick to hoop, or where to put the design. I have some cute ones for my grandson, but almost everytime I try, the hoop pops open, or the threads gather at the bottom and the design eventually gets ruined from the hoop not moving. Someone told me that they do not hoop, so I was totally confused. I will try the adhesive so the diaper will not move, but is a DSQ(thicker diaper service quality) diaper to thick, and if so which one would you recommend? thanks for all of the help!!!
I'm not familiar with the DSQ diapers or what the numbers 2/6/2 mean. I've embroidered the Gerber diapers with no problems. If I am unsure if the item is too thick, I try sticking a regular needle in it. If it goes in and out easily then I think the machine needle will too.
Your hoop probably pops open because the item that you have hooped is too thick. That would be my guess.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for the help. I think I will try the Gerber ones too. Only one more small, and probably silly question to you, you do use both the top and the bottom of the hoop right???:~) Just making sure before I run into another mishap, it is so frustrating..I am somewhat a novice, only at it a year, my first passion is crocheting, and doing tee shirts and diapers, wow, wasnt ready for the challenge. Got the bibs down great, but these other two keep me at my machine for hours......thanks again, you have been a great help, wish i could help you out, but i am sure that there is nothing i can teach you....sorry
I just noticed what you said, wish i could help you out, but i am sure that there is nothing i can teach you. I have sooo much to learn. I have had my machine for several years, but don't use it very often. My sister is an expert, plus Jenni here at this forum has been a big help to me. I did have twins grandchildren born 3 years ago and got lots of experience with baby items. *S*
would you please explain "hoop the bottom stablizer, then attach the diaper"?? Does this mean that you attach the bottom stablizer to the diaper, place in the hoop, then attach a top stablizer and then the top hoop??? Sorry if I sound confused, but to be honest I AM !!! I generally attach a stablizer to the underneath of a bib, then a solvy on top and hoop it with both hoops...I had to self teach myself. When I bought my machine 2 years ago, I was confident that I could learn anything, then to be honest, I became very discouraged when hoops began popping and I was ruining sooo many designs. I bought lots of scrap material and tested, all went well, but when the thickness issue came in I was at wits end. So, I am still trying to teach myself alot, and making some headway, and when I see these beautiful diapers with monograms and designs and try them, YIKES I have made so many dust rags, I cant begin to tell you..So any info is greatly appreciated, if you need any help in crochet, there I can help you...thanks so much for your patience and understanding...I know I sound like such a pain...You are so sweet to take your time to explain this, and I greatly appreciate it !!!
Let me see if I can help. I hoop the stabilizer. I then spray (very lightly)the stabilizer with Sulky KK2000. I lay and center the diaper over the hooped stabilizer. Don't unhoop and add diaper. Some people will pin the diaper to the stabilizer. I use the fix or basting stitch to keep the diaper adhered. I then lay a water-solvable stabilizer on top.
There is a great tutorial of embroidering on towels with this method. The pictures were great. For the life of me, I can't find it. BUT, I did find another tutorial that is similar and shows how to do the hoopless technique.
Hope this helps. Sometimes, you just need to see how it's being done.
I know that many times I need to see things or hear things more than one way. Right now I'm working on my first sock monkey. I have the directions from the package plus an online tutorial up!
**I sequenced my directions wrong. I add the topping, then I sew the baste stitch.
Well, ladies, who do I pay???
The tutorial was a terrific idea, now I understand no hooping...I cant say thank you ladies enough for all the help. I will now go out and get the Gerber diapers and some spray sticky stuff. I have cut away, and hopefully I will be able to embroider some diapers..I can tell you this after watching the tutorial, I know I have been doing things all wrong. Wish you fellow embroiders lived next door to me...I will keep you posted on the diapers..Again, many many thanks to all, I appreciate all of the wonderfull help and advice. Now to put it to work...:~)
Pandora, here is another suggestion. Please do follow all the above suggestion. Instead of turning your learning experiences into dust cloths, use different areas of them to keep experimenting with. Then when there is no more room to experiment on them, turn them in to dust cloths.
I do mine like the above suggestions, no hoop method.
Another help to remove mistakes that are already embroidered. www.embroidery.com Go to: Projects & Video Gallery. Peanut Stitch Remover Video (view video details)
Embroiderers need to remove unwanted stitches sometimes, and the WAHL Peanut Stitch Remover is the right tool for the job!
In this video demonstration, we'll show you how the Peanut's powerful motor and sharp razor quickly clip the understitching and bobbin thread so stitches fall out easily!

Rohey was a good guest :), very quiet and clean. I recommend him sincerly!
Rohey and his colleague were very good guests, maybe the cleanest guest I ever had, also the communication with Rohey went good. I can recommend him to any Airbnb host.
They were very courteous about informing me on arrival time. Kept to themselves and left the room clean.
Rohey stayed with me for like 10 nights in a row. I really liked having him around. He was busy but we managed to get ot know each other aswell and everything was fine. i recommend him for other hosts aswell
Rohey stayed in one of our studio apartments for night. Very nice guy, clean and the communication with him was very good
Highly recommended!
Rohey stayed with me for like 10 days or so. I really liked to have him around. We only managed to talk more at the end of his stay. He worked a lot, basically everyday from 9 till 9 or so, but anyway i would recommend him for other hosts aswell.
I'm really glad I had the opportunity to meet Rohey and Jill. They are nice, outgoing people, plus they were great guests! They are professional travelers—they know what they want and what they need, and they are very communicative. Rohey made sure to update me about their travel plans and arrival / departure timing, so it was easy for me to plan for their arrival. They left the apartment very clean, and even stripped the bed for me. I look forward to having them stay here again!
Rohey and his girlfriend were an absolutely delightful couple. They were clean and respectful guests that I would recommend to future hosts.
Good communication, the place was very clean, thank you Rohey !
What an amazing couple. Friendly, quiet, considerate. Left a place super clean. I hardly had to clean it after! Definitely will have them again any time!

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Ah, Etch is finally out the door and it's time to start tracking Lenny. Congrats to all you developers whose amazing skill and hard work ensures that debian stays my favourite distro!
Sam Hocevar had this year the most interesting DPL candidate platform, IMHO. Not that my opinion matters 'cause I'm not a developer myself and, hence, not qualified to vote. Also, it doesn't look like the DPL would have much power to change things. Best of luck Sam -- this time next year we'll know how good you are in herding cats. And don't forget to write those regular DPL reports you promised in your platform.
BTW, does anyone have any idea why so many votes were rejected in this year's DPL election?

Last night some lowlife scumbag got into my car, I don't look it since there is usually nothing of value. I noticed this morning when I got into my car and my box cutter was on the driver seat, and my glove box was wide open. All that was taken Was about $1 in change and a half a box I snickers. At first I thought it was one of my buddies playing a joke on me since its kind of random crap to take. Turns out it wasn't, if only they spent 5 minutes more violating my property they could of gotten a pair of xikar cutters, $4 in change, and an 11/16 deep socket that was hidden underneath a coffee cup.
Look at it this way, they could have broken a window for $1 in change and a few snickers.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
The population where I live is around 1,400. Our gun ownership percentages are pretty high as well... no need to lock any doors.
It is almost not worth locking doors. Most the time what they take is cheaper to replace than the window they break. I know from experience I have had 4 cars broken into.
Are they checking doors before they smash windows?
I guess I don't know much about breaking into cars.
Lock your doors.
Regards, GF.
A REAL criminal would have taken the car to a chop shop. Probably some bored kids.
Oh well. The best you can hope for in this situation is that they get diabetes from the snickers
This is true. In my day that could get you a few games at the local arcade...

"Very Insightful!"
This is a really good audio book. Moorjani's experience really makes me reflect deeply on the way my thoughts, which generate emotions, effect my health and my perception of my life. Her experience of the "after-life" or non-local realm or heaven or whatever term you want to use gave me a lot to think about. It certainly put a different perspective on these things than I had heard before. I found it fascinating.
Her understanding that instead of past lives, we are living parallel lives- with everything happening at once.
The question and answer section sometimes didn't flow linearly, which was disorienting at times.
I was very moved by the fact that Moorjani felt she wasn't meeting the expectations of her multi-cultures and how these expectations effected her long-term self-confidence and ultimately her health.
This is a fascinating book.

The expansiveness of the philosophical thought in this is openly wonderful. Kind of like the truck is stuck in the mud, and the engines flooded, and the more you rev the engine the more stuck the truck gets, yet the simple repetition is the only thing that will get the truck unstuck. I went a little off subject, but it might be relevant in the thought process that you are conveying. Very interesting MD:77.

well....there is no real simple answer for this problem. It mostly comes down to the parent.
For the TV thing....thats easily solved these days since you can block anything you dont want them seeing. For most TV's anyway.
But other things...I think that you shouldnt entirely shelter them nor should you let them run wild. Monitor and make sure nothing too bad happens. If its something that they can potentially learn from their mistakes themselves without any real danger to them, then i think it would be a better idea. People (especially children) often learn things much better when its self taught through experience.
