Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Season 2 Finale Spoiler: Ezra Will Make a "Bold Move"
So much has happened to Ezria over the past few episodes, that we're not shocked by Pretty Little Liars showrunner Marlene King's declaration, in an interview with Zap2It, that Ezra (Ian Harding) will be making "a bold move" in the Season 2 finale (Season 2, Episode 25: "UnmAsked").
On last week's Season 2, Episode 24: "If These Dolls Could Talk," Ezra suddenly found out that he'd been fired from Hollis College, leaving him unemployed, with an unstable future in Rosewood. He and Aria (Lucy Hale), of course, decided to have extremely romantic (goodbye?) sex, not knowing what the future of their relationship held.
Marlene says, "It's safe to say in the finale that a bold move is made by Ezra Fitz... We don't find out in the finale [exactly why he was fired], and it really isn't playing that heavily in Season 3."
Hmm... Does this mean Ezra's "bold move" will be leaving Rosewood for good? Will he introduce Aria to his family (since we know Ezra's brother will be making an appearance in Season 3)? Maybe he and Aria will elope!
What do you think Mr. Fitz's Hail Mary will be?
Find out who "A" is on the Pretty Little Liars Season 2 finale on Monday at 8 pm ET/PT on ABC Family.

Long Live The Kouign
It's in Ji-Pan where I first come across kouign amann (KWEEN-ah-man; KOO-ine ah-MAHN).
I've encountered it many times in my cookbooks but never "live.†Looking remarkably like a Danish save for its cobbled sugary top, it reminds me of a tough otap, that crackly puff pastry from Cebu that makes marvelous "messes.â€
Apparently, I'm not the only one who's discovered the sticky wonder. On my Facebook page, a foodie friend who's especially enamored with the pastry posts a picture which results in a flurry of enthusiastic unanimity on the kouign's deliciousness.
Kouign amann (also kouing-aman, both pronounced the same) is a French pastry from Breton's Douarnenez region. Literally, "bread and butterâ€, it was invented in 1860 by a baker who experimented by adding sugar to his laminated dough. It's what's used to make croissants, strudels, and other pastries whose layers are vividly seen and can be pulled apart. It's a terribly time-consuming exercise to make such doughs, but oh, how quick and easy they are to eat!
So just why I decide to make kouign amann is beyond me. Baking is hostage to my mercurial moods: when I decide to make something, I want to eat it now, never mind that it's three in the morning. I do need that occasional baking challenge, however. Concentrating on just cookies and cakes can be mind-numbing.
- blown open by puff. Oy!
The actual hands-on work for this pastry is short. It's the chilling time between "folding†and "turning†the dough that's lengthy. I'm using the recipe from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook and everything's going swimmingly. But it's the pinwheel-shaping technique that does me in. Suffice it to say that my "pinwheels†blow open and I'm forced to shape another batch into simple rounds. Cursing Martha for her blasted shaping technique, I flip through my cookbooks and realize that I could've saved myself the agony. Several kouign amanns are baked in cake rounds. Ay!
The beauty of the kouign amann is its sugary top fusing with the butter in the pastry to create caramel, or a caramel lacquer. When my pastries come out of the oven, beauty queens they're not. But ah, their taste! their crackle! the clamor created when a concordance of layers is crushed by teeth, exploding into echoes of buttery-ness.
As a plus, my house is now deeply redolent of butter and sugar. I'm only half-surprised when I turn around and see my Bin and Boo holding out their breakfast plates to me.

Sacramento San Diego County's growing homeless population could sleep and sit in public and solicit donations without facing criminal citations under a proposal moving through the California Legislature.
Supporters of the Homeless Person's Bill of Rights and Fairness Act say it would establish needed protections from discrimination against the homeless. They point to a wave of "quality of life" and "anti-nuisance" ordinances enacted by cities and counties that criminalize sleeping, sitting and sharing food in public places.
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, the author of the measure, said the solution to homelessness is not issuing citations and putting people behind bars.
"A citation for resting or standing on the street instead contributes to a person's inability to establish financial solvency and good credit necessary to secure employment and a rental agreement," Ammiano, D-San Francisco, said Tuesday. "Citations, arrests and jail time do not solve homelessness."
Critics of the measure, including local governments and business groups, counter that the proposal encroaches on the ability of municipalities to enforce their regulations and care for their own residents. The California Chamber of Commerce listed the bill among its "job killers," saying it would spur costly mandates on employers.
"Sacramento should put its money where its mouth is by funding San Diego programs that actually help the homeless instead of imposing regulations that encourage panhandling, hurt our neighborhoods and don't help the homeless find a home," said San Diego City Councilman Kevin Faulconer, a Republican.
Assemblyman Brian Maienschein, R-San Diego, a former councilman who worked on homeless issues at the United Way, said he helped create a specially trained outreach unit to work with the mentally ill and others living on the streets.
"The police were our partners," said Maienschein, who voted against the bill in committee.
"We were able to take people who had been long-term homeless and start to direct them to the services that they needed," he added. "And I am a little concerned with what might be done to restrict the abilities of local governments to work in a manner that adjusts their services and adjusts what they are providing to the circumstances they find themselves in."
The measure would give the homeless broader rights to relax in public regardless of local prohibitions — unless counties provide a certain level of housing, jobs and assistance. It also would require governments to provide 24-hour restrooms and showers and mandate law enforcement to compile and report data on enforcement actions, which homeless advocates believe are sometimes carried out selectively.
The latest count of the homeless in San Diego County released this month found 8,900 people living on the streets, in vehicles and in shelters, a 7.7 percent drop from the previous January. Since 2005, the number of homeless in the county had increased steadily, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Parke Troutman, public policy and advocacy manager for the San Diego Hunger Coalition, said people who are homeless essentially have no private place to retreat to.
"There has been a tendency toward criminalizing these basic acts that homeless people need to do to survive, like sleep," Troutman said. "This bill is really trying to halt that tendency."

FOUR people have learned to move a prosthetic limb using their thoughts.
Electrodes that pick up the electrical activity in the brain have already helped people control computer programs and allowed monkeys to feed themselves with a robot arm - all just by thinking.
Takufumi Yanagisawa of Osaka University Medical School in Japan and his colleagues focused on electrocorticography (ECoG), in which electrodes are placed directly on the surface of the brain during surgery. ECoG is typically used to find the focal point of epilepsy, but it has been used to connect people's brains to machines.
Yanagisawa's team recruited five people with epilepsy but no paralysis, four with weakness in their arms following strokes, and three with damage to the motor nerves of the shoulder, arm and hand. After placing electrodes on the volunteers' brains, the team studied activity in the sensorimotor cortex, a band of ...

Completely unused published fare tickets may be downgraded to a lower published fare provided all rules are met. Partially used tickets may not be downgraded and refunds/credits will not apply for previously flown travel.
When a new published fare is introduced or a current published fare is reduced in a market, ticketed passengers may downgrade prior to departure of the origination flight under the following conditions:
Administrative Service Charge
The Administrative Service Charge fee for a downgraded ticket will be the same amount as the change penalty based on the rule of the fare being downgraded.
The Administrative Service Charge is not waived under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES and is subject to the following conditions:
A USD 400 ticket with a USD 150 penalty is downgraded to a USD 300 ticket with a USD 75 penalty. The ticket holder cannot at that point request a refund and only pay the USD 75. The USD 150 penalty will follow the downgraded ticket.
Note: Do not confuse non-refundable penalty with non-refundable tickets. They are not the same.
Travel agents may downgrade tickets as long as they were the original issuing agent of the ticket and the original ticket was not totally non-refundable. If the ticked issued by the travel agency was non-refundable then the passenger must have the ticket reissued by Delta.
Administrative Service Charge for Downgrades Applies:
Note: Caribbean does not include San Juan, and St. Thomas and the areas between Central America and South America.
Effective January 13, 2011, Delta's previous upgrade policy was discontinued. Normal fare rules will apply when any changes are made to a restricted fare; the ASC will apply for voluntary changes on fares that have an ASC.

Welcome to the Particle Culture
There's a line in the movie Crazy Heart that struck a chord with me. Down and nearly out country music legend Bad Boyd is softly playing his guitar while laying on (the character deftly played by Maggie Gyllenhaal) Jeanie's bed as he recovers from the car wreck that is not his life. Jeanie seems to recognise the tune and asks who played it. "I did,…I wrote it just now…the best tunes are the one's you feel you already know." - or words to that effect.
Ironically I have long believed that to be true. Paradoxically people are drawn to novelty, but we are also suspicious of it.
In the marketing classes I taught at Massey University I defined the syndrome as 'New vs. Knew'. We like innovation to progress by degree, more so than by disruption.
There are, of course, apparent exceptions to the rule - the Apple iPod had no obvious design or conceptual precedents, but it was such an intuitive response to the problem of portable music, it simply made sense. It was also so well conceived and executed that there was no reason to be afraid. It was as if the iPod had been missing, in the way that it is hard to imagine life without a new born baby.
Apple may have reinvented 'the wheel' on the original iPod, but it paved the way for the iPod touch easily by continuing a humanistic design metaphor that stretched back to the birth of the Macintosh: pointing and clicking, desktops, trash cans all seem so familiar even though they were incredibly strange by the rustic conventions of the day.
iPhone is successful not because it is a better telephone (I've never heard anyone make a single mention of the iPhone's telephonic quality) but because it continues a conversation that Apple has been having with people since the Apple II - accessible, humanistic design (including the design of its marketing language).
Apple has cleverly constructed a series of platforms from which we can leap to the next level of technology with confidence and ease. Better still, for Apple at least, we are conditioned to anticipate the next level, the same way we eagerly await the release of new songs from our favourite music artists.
Going back to the thought that new music can seem familiar, the rock music of the 50's that so horrified parents was probably more shocking culturally - for its adoption by the newly invented social group 'teenagers' who were shaking off the stiff conventions of their parents for the first time in history - than it was musically. Rock 'n' Roll's lineage extends back through many forms including Blues, Jazz, Big Band, Swing, Rhythm & Blues…In fact much of Rock music sounds so familiar because its structures extend back to the music of the Middle Ages where the Perfect Fourth structure originated. Much of Rock is written in fourths in because of the predominance of the guitar. The instrument is easy (and accessible) to play because the strings are mainly tuned a fourth apart.
Interestingly, when new music discards the melodic structures we have become familiar with its popularity is often limited. Punk Rock may be musically less accomplished than the atonal stylings of Arnold Schoenberg but it conformed to conventional structures and progressions - even harmonies that had been familiar in the past.
The shock of the new often comes with novel packaging but conserves the essence of the past. For novelty to succeed it must, by definition, be new, but it must also refer to what we knew.
It may be apocryphal but I have heard that, when human infants are born, the social convention is often for family members to express with confidence how much the child looks like its Dad. There is usually, post-partum, little doubt about maternity. Most newborns actually look like E.T., having been squished through an astonishingly small birth canal (in comparison to their size), but the recognising the father supposedly protects the child from harm. Even the imaginers of the iPod, share behavioural links that extend back to Neanderthal times and probably beyond.
In many respects I suppose we are still somewhat like monkeys - reluctant to let go of one branch until we have a firm grasp of the next.
For makers and marketers and communicators there are lessons. Creativity is the process of taking existing things and combining them in new, sometimes surprising ways. Technology progresses to find new efficiencies (the internal combustion engine may soon have done its dash, but new technologies will rise to replace it so long has we crave movement at speed across moderate distances).
That said, many technologies will emerge and simply fail, because people don't see themselves reflected in them - a need to be satisfied. Sometimes the timing is simply wrong. Plenty of innovations get a second shot (Xerox invented the G.U.I. but didn't see the opportunity that Steve Jobs did to apply it to a person friendly PC).
The trick is to put people at the centre of innovation, not the product or technology. What do people crave? In the 50's teenagers craved independence and freedom, they rebelled against a culture that cultivated a monumentally destructive war. Hedonism and living for the day was married to the technologies of mass production and surplus. With more time and money on their hands than any generation before them the term 'consumer' embedded itself and endured for the rest of the 20th Century.
The 'known' is, of course a relative term. it is a definition of a personal experience. For an 18 year old today (my son) to be discovering the music of The Velvet Underground there is novelty - much in the same way that Europeans 'discovered' the 'New World' - although said New World had been developing quite happily for thousands of years. The 18yr old is, in fact, discovering himself - following the same tradition of The Velvet Underground themselves - whose influences, circuitously via John Cale included Erik Satie, looking beyond the conventions of the day - today mediated by popular music video channels and in 60's and early 70's by popular music radio. Their shared drive is individualism and rejection of 'the man'.
By virtue of plural access to media by almost everyone the things that drove the sub-cultures of the 60's might well have gone mainstream. The mass culture may have become that of sub culture - or Particle Culture, every individual expressing their wants and needs, their opinions and ideas - an infinite loop of combination and recombination. A train wreck that has already happened. A big bang expansion of the human universe. A post-modern paradise. A classical hell.
It way be a strange, unglued, unhinged time but adopting a humanistic approach seems to me to be your best bet. Put people at the centre of your thinking. The chaos out there will drive us back to embrace the things we have always known, our values and virtues, our fear of the dark, our fascination with fire, rediscovering things through the compound lenses of new technologies and new anxieties, bending and shaping, mashing and rearranging, making and consuming; choosing and choosing not to choose.
It will all be strangely familiar…but all-new at the same time.

John Ralston Saul voices much the same sentiments in "Voltaire's Bastards" and pretty much every work since. Look at what people do. Address what people need. Have society, technology - anything - organised around an awareness and understanding of how people are. Rationalism and corporate profit-driven amorality and unconsciousness are ultimately hostile to people.ReplyDelete

Click here for more pictures from the recording session
|Helen was invited by the BBC Concert Orchestra and Dutton Epoch in July this year to record the entire viola and orchestra repertoire by Gordon Jacob. This disc will include concerto No.1 and No.2, the Concertpiece and the Three Pieces for viola and piano arranged for orchestra by Graham Parlett. All the works have never been recorded before. The second concerto was written for the Tertis Competition in 1980 and performed by then winner, Paul Neubauer. All extremely virtuosic works with many passages in octaves and double stops, there are some exciting dramatic movements where the orchestra writing really shines with some extraordinarily beautiful melodies for the viola soloist. Reminiscent of Elgar, Holst and Vaughn Williams on a big scale, there are fantasy moments much like the Harry Potter soundtrack! This recording is also due to be released early next year.

YIELD: Makes 12 servings
Chop garlic and quartered shallots in mini processor. Scrape down bowl. Add next 5 ingredients; blend until paste forms.
Arrange roasts, bone side down, on work surface. Make 6 to 8 shallow slits in fat on each. Rub some of herb paste into slits. Rub remaining herb paste all over roasts. Stand roasts in large roasting pan, bone sides facing each other and rib bones pointing upward. Interlock ends of rib bones, pushing roasts together. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Uncover; let stand 2 hours at room temperature before continuing.)
Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Roast until thermometer inserted into pork from center of top registers 140°F, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Remove pan from oven; let pork rest 20 to 30 minutes (internal temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees; meat will be faintly pink).
Transfer roasts, still interlocked, to platter; reserve roasting pan with juices for sauce. Cut between ribs into chops. Serve with mushroom pan sauce.
Meat tip: If you prefer well-done pork, we recommend brining it before roasting so it doesn't dry out. Stir 1 cup kosher salt, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, and 1/2 cup pure maple syrup into 12 cups water. Add 6 cups ice; place brine and pork in resealable plastic bag; refrigerate 24 to 48 hours. Pat roasts dry before continuing; reduce the salt in the rub to 1 tablespoon. Roast to 165°F.

The 5th (cousin) goes by Will, 4th (uncle) goes by Buddy, and the 3rd (grandpa) goes by Bill. Ugh. My 76 year old grandma is Irene Ella and for years she hated her middle name. I don't see how she hated it, it's beautiful! I have the "strangest" name in the family, Emmylou. Everyone else in the family has classic names, excluding my sisters Willa and Ruby. I usually go by Emmy and yep there's my name rantEmmylou

Pizza as an appetizer
We did it. I cured my Artigiano 120 just enough to cook for our neighbors last night. I still haven't done the insulation -- the two boxes of Insulfrax sitting next to the oven doesn't really help :-), so the oven was give up heat too fast. Still, it's great being back.
We had chopped olives, pecorino, pear, mozzarella, diced tomatoes and the great FB EVO (and salt and basil) and made six pizzas in a snap. It's great having the space. The Art120 is a 39"x47" oval, so I easily did three pizzas, roast red peppers for a pasta sauce, and baked a green bean dish at one time.
I knew my pizzza's weren't great, but the neighbors thought they were good and our daughters were so happy to have homemade pizzas again.
The cracks on the outside are still there, but from the inside, the dome looks solid. It makes me wonder what the outside of some of our domes look like (underneath all that insulation).
Here's to years of cooking in this oven.

Little did these two know that when they attended a mutual friends UCSB graduation party in 2007 that they were going to meet the loves of their lives that night. Although it ended up taking them a few years to realize it. They both ended up moving to San Francisco that fall and lost touch with one another, it wasn't until two years later at Alexis' 24th birthday party that they reconnected and began dating. Fast forward a few years later they were engaged on a beach in the Hamptons. Make me swoon why don't you?! Doesn't that sound dreamy? It only made perfect sense to head right back to where they first met, where Patrick grew up, and where he attended college, to get married.

Time Inc. names Nelson editor in chief
NEW YORK (AP) - Time Inc. has named Martha Nelson as editor-in-chief of the media company.
The company said Tuesday that Nelson is the first woman in the company's 90-year history to hold the role. She has worked for Time Inc. for 20 years and has been editorial director since 2010. She will assume the top editorial position at the company in January.
Time Inc. is a division of Time Warner and one of the largest media companies in the world, publishing magazines like Time, People and Sports Illustrated.
The company says Nelson is the ideal leader for the business, given her background in print and digital publishing. The company has been trying to generate more revenue from the Internet and mobile devices to offset shrinking print advertising revenue.

Mobile communities could fill 3G pipes

Verizon touts new music and networking servicesJanuary 5, 2006
Rivals try to sing along with MySpaceDecember 12, 2005
News Corp. in talks to buy search engineAugust 12, 2005
For years, mobile operators, which have spent billions of dollars to upgrade their networks to 3G wireless technologies, have tried to get customers to do more than talk on their cell phones. Despite their efforts, the vast majority of revenue still comes from voice calling.
But that could change in the next few years. A lot of fuss has already been made about people watching TV on their cell phones and downloading music over the mobile Net, but there's another application that could also generate significant 3G data usage--social networking.
"Carriers have invested a lot of money in their networks," said Charles Golvin, an analyst with Forrester Research. "And at this point it's a lot like throwing spaghetti on the wall to see which applications will stick. I doubt there will be any single killer application, but social networking on mobile phones could certainly be one that generates usage."
Within the last year social networking and community Web sites on the fixed-line Internet have really taken off, especially among teens and twentysomethings, who spend hours online creating profiles and sharing photos, videos and blogs.
MySpace, the most popular of the social networking sites, has more than 67 million members, and it adds roughly 250,000 members every day. MySpace is ranked as the second-most visited Web site on the Internet in terms of unique users, after Yahoo, according to ComScore Media Metrix. Last year Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. bought the company for $580 million.
Though MySpace may be among the most famous of these sites, it's certainly not the only one on the Net. There are dozens of them, including Facebook.com, which is geared toward college students. There are also photo-sharing sites, such as Flickr, that have created popular online communities.
In the past, people using these services could access them only from their desktops or laptops. But now social networking is going mobile, allowing people to use their cell phones to upload pictures or send updates to blogs.
CTIA: Wired on wireless
In March, MySpace announced a deal with the soon-to-be-launched wireless reseller Helio. And earlier this week, Facebook announced deals with Cingular Wireless, Sprint Nextel and Verizon Wireless to enable users to post messages to their Facebook profiles via SMS text messaging. Flickr also lets people post photos from their cell phones and view them from handsets as well. Sprint Nextel has created its own photo-sharing site, called PCS Picture mail. It's expected to launch this spring.
There also are new companies in the game, such as San Diego-based Intercasting, which is offering a service called Rabble. Like MySpace and Facebook, Rabble lets users create profiles so they can share photos, videos and blogs with other members of the Rabble group. Cingular and Verizon Wireless have already signed up to offer the service, charging customers $2.99 per month for access to the community.
Ubiquitous and wireless
In many ways, cell phones are the ideal tools for social networking and building online communities. Not only are people rarely without their phones, but today's handsets come equipped with sophisticated tools as well, such as cameras and digital music and video players and recorders, that can be used for documenting life. Mobile-handset makers Nokia and Sony Ericsson are even embedding technology into some of their phones that's designed to make it easier for users to upload pictures and text to blogs. These phones are solid tools for people wanting to share photos, video clips or songs with their online communities.

- You are spot on. In other parts of the world right now, mobile community applications are driving data usage.
My company's service, myGamma (a mobile community portal. http://wap.mygamma.com), clocks an average of 1.5 million wap pageviews a day. That translates to a massive 4,500 megabytes of data a day. In Asia and Europe currently, mobile data is largely via GPRS, a 2.5G network. But with 3G coming online soon and relatively cheaper costs, we expect data usage to skyrocket in tandem with the introduction of video and audio streaming within our community.
With our service, we have also discovered that we have reached a unique audience - people who otherwise have no access to the internet if not for their mobile phone! So for all the talk about handsets offering a lesser internet experience compared to the PC, this is not a problem at all with this group of users. It's a whole new market out there! At least, this is the experience out in Asia where there are lotsa more people with cellphones than computers.

- I can confirm LKLai's comment, I run The Mobile Life http://www.themobilelife.com a provider of mobile internet services such as mobile communities and I just returned after a week in India. Out of 1.3 billion people the mobile penetration is only 20% and most of the Indian users first experiance internet through their mobile device. Regards, Chris

Can a Flue Be Too BIG?
sorry for the double post.... guess i should have done it here...
well my question is ? i have a 40" oven. if i got a 12" X 4 1/2" Flue made for the full size of the vent opening, will that be too big? Will it draw u think..... i had a 6" round pipe before and some some got out but i am wondering if gettin a fabricated one made up for the size of the whole vent opening, will it cause it not to draw if too big ? What do ya'll think ? thanks alot God Bless
Re: Can a Flue Be Too BIG?
My 40" Pompei has a void outside the actual dome 600mm x 400mm running up to a 200mm diameter flue, ie. 24" x 16" running up to an 8" flue.
I get no smoke out from the front of my front arch unless I point a petrol leaf blower to excite the fire which might be struggling to roar.
Your void is considerably smaller which equates to 54 sq inches where mine is 384 sq inches.
I would most definitely go for an absolute minimum 8" flue, as that will have a surface area of 25.14 sq inches where a 6" only has 18.86 sq inches, 75% the area or volume capability.
Re: Can a Flue Be Too BIG?
Thank u Nissan! That's what I needed to know! I appreciate It man! God Bless you and ya holidays......

Undergraduate Course: Phonetics
Course Description
SLPA-11010 Phonetics NLA
An introduction to the study of speech sounds used in the production of American English. Emphasis is placed on (1) sound to symbol transcription using the International Phonetic Alphabet, as well as (2) development of transcription speed and accuracy. Anatomy and physiology of the speech mechanism are introduced for the purpose of describing speech sound production. 3 credits. (F-S,Y)
Selected Learner Objectives
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
- accurately define and use terminology related to phonetics
- mark syllabic stress patterns
- label and describe the functions of basic anatomical structures used in phonation, respiration, and articulation
- describe the manner/ voice/ place characteristics of consonants
- broadly transcribe all vowels and consonants in monosyllabic, bisyllabic, and multisyllabic words using the International Phonetic Alphabet
- use transcription conventions appropriately when transcribing words
- use selected diacritical markings during phonetic transcription
- describe the impact of context on sound production (e.g., understand how the consonants that surround the vowel change the way the vowel is produced during connected speech) and correctly transcribe words accordingly
- correctly apply terms that describe phonological processes; recognize the processes represented in transcribed or spoken words
Students who are registered in the SLP major when they enter Ithaca College as freshmen typically take Phonetics during their first year on campus, either in the fall or the spring. Students who transfer into the major take this course later in their course sequence. Phonetics is the pre-requisite for SLPA 22000 Articulation and Phonological Development and Disorders, which is offered in the spring semester.
The textbook for Phonetics is:

Zombies go global in 'World War Z'
"World War Z"
Rating: PG-13
When: Opens Friday
Where: Wide release
Running time: 1 hour, 56 minutes
Things certainly have changed since George Romero released "Night of the Living Dead," the small 1968 black-and-white zombie film that set down rules that would classify the genre. Those are pretty simple to remember: Zombies are people who have died and reanimated, leaving behind no trace of their former self. They exist only to feast on human flesh, and the only thing that can permanently stop them is a blow to the brain. These days zombies have a decent pop-culture market share, so most folks are familiar with how things work.
That said, Romero didn't plan to create an undead classification. Rather, he wanted to make a horror movie that was an allegory for racism, by using the undead masses as a representation of society's mindlessness. But the rules stuck, and "Night of the Living Dead" has spawned hundreds, if not thousands, of films in the intervening years, including "World War Z," the new Brad Pitt thriller that is easily the most expensive zombie movie ever made. "Night of the Living Dead" was completed for just over $100,000. "World War Z," with its high-profile production issues, rewrites and extensive re-shoots, cost around $200 million.
Now, much of that has to do with the scope of the film. Taken from the novel by Max Brooks (yes, son of Mel), "World War Z" spans the globe, capturing a fast-moving zombie pandemic through the eyes of one man. Pitt plays Gerry Lane, a former U.N. investigator who is brought back on the job and given an all-access pass once the zombies show up, well, pretty much everywhere, including downtown Philadelphia, where Gerry and his family barely escape with their lives. Whisked off a rooftop by a U.N. undersecretary, Gerry quickly jets off to Korea to investigate the source of the crisis. From there, he makes his way to Israel, the one country that has properly handled the crisis, though he's there just in time to see things go seriously wrong. Finally, he ends up at a WHO research facility in Wales that could hold the key to saving the world.
Marc Forster's film bends some of Romero's rules, but doesn't try to break them. These aren't your father's shambling zombies — "World War Z's" creatures move with the speed of a virus, tearing through the warm-blooded ranks of humanity in the way only a CGI creation possibly can. That makes for some intense set pieces, led chiefly by the fall of Jerusalem. It also means, however, that many of the action sequences are so chaotic that it's almost impossible to sort out what's happening. Additionally, the movie moves so fast that it isn't able to identify what's truly at stake.
At its core, a good zombie movie is about the individual's fear of painful assimilation, the terrifying nature that we might lose control of our thoughts and actions and become part of the problem, rather than the dwindling hope for a solution. Brooks' novel is all about people, in that it's an oral history of the zombie apocalypse as told by dozens of survivors across the globe. It's a terrifically inventive idea, but one that's jettisoned by the filmmakers' distilling all of that humanity into one man. (That said, if you have to condense humanity into one individual, it might as well be Brad Pitt, but "World War Z" is much more about staying alive than good acting.)

Hello Everyone! Donna here with you today, and I want to take a moment to interrupt your Christmas preparations to talk to you about a new product from digital designer Crystal Wilkerson that will help you to develop a habit of gratitude and will also help a family in need.
This time of year is very special, and for many different reasons. For Americans, we've just celebrated Thanksgiving and now for a lot of us, we are looking forward to, and preparing for Christmas. We will spend time with our families, and we will try to remember all those great big things in our lives that we are thankful for. Feelings of gratitude come to us naturally at this time of year, but perhaps you've thought about trying to cultivate that same spirit of thanksgiving all year long? Last month Crystal hosted a Thirty Day Gratitude Challenge and to go along with the challenge she designed 30 gratitude cards with journaling prompts. Here is an example card and its corresponding journaling prompt:
The cards and prompts fit on an 11 x 8.5 sheet of paper, and can be printed, cut in half, and placed in a 5.5 x 8.5 binder
(you can find the binders and page protectors at office supply stores).
What prompted Crystal to design this project was a desire to help a family whose father is currently battling brain cancer:
Scott Norton is 30 years old, married to Emily, and a father of two young boys. In August of this year, the family discovered that Scott had a large cancerous brain tumor. He has had two surgeries to remove sections the tumor and has undergone radiation therapy to remove the remaining tumor and to prevent the tumor from spreading. You can read more about their story on Crystal's blog.
The thirty quotes for the gratitude journal that Crystal created come in two sets of 15. Each set costs $2.50. Which means that all 30 quotes with journaling prompts can be downloaded in a high-quality .JPG format for only $5. In addition, the second set of quotes also includes a cover page for the inside of your notebook, a contract and bonus quote, insert for the spine and cover of your notebook, and printable notebook paper. You can find the sets here: Gratitude Quotes Set 1, Gratitude Quotes Set 2.
100% of the proceeds will go to help the Norton family
with their medical expenses.
Maybe you are thinking that you don't have time right now to start a gratitude journal, or that a thirty day commitment would produce more thoughts of guilt than gratitude. Not a problem! Because the files are high-quality .JPGs they can be resized, or manipulated and used for more than one purpose. For example, I printed the gratitude card from Day 15 as a 4 x 6 photo and used it as a title for this layout:
I also used the journaling prompt for that day to help me focus my thoughts about this photo and that day. The cards and prompts can be used in any way that you'd like which makes this a truly versatile product.
I hope you will take a few moments from your busy schedule today to think about all the things in your life that you are grateful for. Then, please consider helping this young family in need. I know they will be thankful and appreciative of your support!

This is war people!!! And every good soldier knows that in any war there has to be a battle plan to follow; otherwise you just get people running around aimless just being rather silly and not achieving a great deal - when that happens you'll usually end up an unfortunate smear on the underside of some raid boss's boot. So to continue on with Frost Mage rotation guides I present to you your individual battle plan in handy dandy flow chart format.
I was going to present it via the medium of song and dance but hey... I'm no Blood Elf rap star so you'll just have to deal with functional diagrams - suck it up. Taking a leaf out of Vidyala's very knowledgeable book I have attempted to make it a bit more aesthetically pleasing than the last one. BTW if you haven't seen Vidyala's Fire Mage Flowchart I suggest you go look at it cos it's made of win.
Just a couple of points:
The chart opens with what is generally your opening rotation. It does assume that you have the max talent points in Improved Freeze because basically I don't know a Frost Mage without it - it gives you those two lovely FoF procs. yum!
Be prepared to adapt to the circumstances, if you are worried about the tank's threat generation then don't open straight away with two Deep Freezes - give the tank time to build the threat. Hopefully the inclusion of Mirror Images straight after your first Deep Freeze should mitigate that risk (and so far it's always worked for me) but be responsive to the situation. Beyond that opener, you probably won't have to worry about over aggroing because the CD of Deep Freeze will pace your big hit (we're not hot streaking Pyroblasts! here) - but again Ice Block and Invisibility are there if you need it.
Speaking of adapting to circumstances, if you've dropped a pet Freeze you have Deep Freeze AND Brain Freeze - go for the DF/FFB combo. I didn't list it in the chart cos it doesn't happen that often, well not to me, and an application of common sense is needed with Frost. Remember the main part of Frost is reacting to your Procs, the skill which lays in Frost is generating those procs yourself rather than waiting for Lady RNG to decide when you deserve one.
Icy veins should be popped when you can; Cold Snap will give you another Icy Veins so don't pop it until your first one has run out and after that just use it when it's available. It's the same with anything like Synapse Springs, trinkets or the Beserking racial; I like to macro these into existing attacks or into a nuke button wherever possible. The Raid Leader will call for Time Warp/Heroism/Bloodlust so just respond when they call if that's in your list of duties that raid.
Click for a larger image
So there we go, that's how to deal with bosses. As always I welcome any feedback you guys have and I wish you much fun and merriment in your raid boss pwnage :)

What to Do When Breast-Feeding Issues Arise
Filed under: Newborns, Babies, Feeding & Sleeping, Breast-Feeding
"Breast-feeding is natural," says Cathy Carothers, co-director of Every Mother, Inc., a national nonprofit organization that provides lactation training for health care professionals. "But sometimes it takes both Mom and baby a little time to get comfortable learning how to do it."
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends moms breast-feed for the first year of a baby's life.
Carothers says mothers should hold their babies skin-to-skin immediately after birth. Placing the baby near the breast allows the child to "hear Mom's heartbeat, feel her skin, smell her special scent and find their way to her breast all by themselves," she says. "Babies who latch by themselves often latch well, and milk production begins quickly."
If a baby has difficulty latching, seek help from a lactation consultant, adds Liz Brooks, secretary of the International Lactation Consultant Association. Lactation consultants can work with you at the hospital -- and after you've gone home -- to ensure your baby is nursing properly, she says.
Brooks and Carothers offer the following tips to help mothers address these breast-feeding concerns:
- Pain when the baby latches on: It's not uncommon for a woman to experience nipple pain for five to 10 seconds when a baby latches on. Any pain that lasts longer than that is a sign of trouble and should be brought to the attention of your pediatrician, lactation consultant or obstetrician.
- Concerns that baby isn't getting enough milk: Moms can count the number of wet and dirty diapers to be sure baby is getting enough. Newborns should have two to three dirty diapers a day. A good rule to remember is that babies should wet as many diapers as they are days old in the first few days. By the time the baby is a few days old, mom's breasts should feel full at the beginning of the feeding and softer when she is through feeding.
- Itchy, pink, red, shiny or burning nipples or shooting breast pain after feedings: These are symptoms of thrush, a common and harmless yeast infection in a baby's mouth that can spread to your nipples during breastfeeding. Consult your doctor for treatment, which is usually anti-fungal medication.
- Breast pain or redness, chills, fever or body aches: These are symptoms of mastitis, a breast inflammation usually caused by infection. It's most common during the first six months of nursing. It can develop if the breasts are not being emptied regularly or from a plugged duct. Women often feel tired. The condition is usually treated with rest, lots of breast-feeding and an antibiotic prescribed by a physician.

Despite the issues aren't there other good things that come out breastfeeding like the baby gets the proper nutrients and the mother gets to lose the baby fat.
AdviceMama Says:
Start by teaching him that it is safe to do so.

Three weeks ago Mississippi State basketball was dealt a significant blow when freshman Rodney Hood announced he would request his release in an effort to find a new home to play his college basketball.
Since that time, Hood has remained an MSU student and continued to go to class, doing the things that are expected of him as a college student.
MSU head coach Rick Ray has moved on as well, preparing for life without Hood as the leader of the team.
What may come as a surprise to many is the fact that Hood has continued working with the current Bulldogs.
In the days following Hood's announcement Ray was clear with the current players in saying they should get in the gym and play as much basketball as they could. At the same time, he suggested they call Hood encouraging him to join them because they all needed the work and obviously having Hood on the court would increase the level of competition.
Ray could have certainly held a grudge against Hood for jumping ship early into his tenure as the head coach. However, Ray wanted what was best for his team and for Hood and that was to get shots up and continuing to improve.
While the intended result wasn't necessarily to retain Hood, the workouts have allowed Hood to see inside Ray's program and hear first hand accounts from Jalen Steele and Wendell Lewis of what things are really about with Ray.
Let's be honest, the outlook for MSU basketball is drastically different today than it was three weeks ago when Hood made his decision. At that point, he was the best player on the team and while Steele and Lewis remained, there just wasn't much help in sight for Hood.
Now, Ray has added a pair of guards (Jacoby Davis and Andre Applewhite) and a junior college forward (Colin Borchert) that drastically changed the look and feel of this team. State could also land another point guard this week to truly create a situation to where Hood could see himself as the missing piece to the puzzle.
No question Hood has a world of opportunities at his feet. However, given the changes within MSU basketball, a case can be made that Mississippi State is still the best fit for Hood.
There isn't a hard timetable for Hood to make a decision on where he will play next season because there are no deadlines for transfers make their move. However, July would be a time when Mississippi State would send a non-renewal letter for his scholarship offer, since that's a year-to-year agreement.

Charlie Sheen pays Lindsay Lohan's tax bill
Charlie Sheen, philanthropist. Those are two terms you don't often think of using together. Lindsay Lohan, charity case ... now that's a different story. But Sheen has reportedly turned high dollar donor for down-on-her-luck Lohan.
The pair is said to have become close after shooting a bedroom scene together for "Scary Movie 5," and now TMZ reports, Charlie cut Lindsay a check for $100,000 to help clear her mounting tax debt.
Lohan reportedly owes more than $230,00 to Uncle Sam, and Charlie -- the benevolent benefactor that he is -- wants to help Lindsay get the IRS off her back.
If you think this transaction between pals sounds a bit fishy, you're not the only one. With Sheen and Lohan in the mix, it's hard to believe there's not more to the story than a friend helping out a friend, no strings attached.
What do you think is really going on with these strange bedfellows?
