It won't be a carebear MMO, that's pretty sure.
Also a permadeath and next of kin system . Check the "death of a spaceman" article on their website

shooting ejection pods in lawfull systems, well that just doesnt end well for anyone (current balance philosophy similar to eve where you get hammered by the cops non stop once you are known to be scum)

2. Slider protects people from even seeing PvP'ers in the majority of the universe
3. Boarding will really only be fun with the bengal, the PvE centric crowd at RSI's forums have persuaded the developers to include a self destruct system(Imagine every game with PvP if players could blow themselves up if they don't want to fight.....)
4. Permadeath is permadeath if you don't buy new lives(or whatever mechanic they add to do so), basically the PvE crowd again complained about attachment to their mains so much that now we can buy new lives, so there really is no fear of dying(unless your just stupid and don't restock lives) -hypothetical-start with 20 deaths, if you die 20 times you will have to start over as a next of kin. Then they added the ability to add more lives, so why would anyone run out?
So basically, even though I've pledged to this game(I'm a hype monster, and paid for something impulsively), this games PvP is starting to wane every day in my opinion.

Hopefully the forums there make it sound worse than it really is. They are relaunching the site in a couple months, hopefully all the information will be easier to flesh out.
I always thought it would be awesome if a developer listened to polls, until I started following the site (Star Citizen), where the developer does listen to polls, but PvP'ers are outnumbered lol.
I guess the good thing about the PvP slider(or player interaction slider as it's called now), is that you can't essentially turn PvP completely off. One of the developers said you can never completely turn PvP off, but lower it to very low levels(he gave 1% as a pure hypothetical). So that may be something.
I started trying to rationalize it as this(complete made up rationalizing in my mind, so not factual lol)...
If there is 100 systems at launch, with five big sectors per system, that's 500 areas where players could be after launch. If only 100k people like PvP and turn their slider to full, then there could essentially be 200 PvP'ers per zone, and you would never really see PvE'ers. So that part, may be ok.
So far their shooting for 40 to 100 players per instance(because of graphics), so this slider thing, might be a way to filter PvE'ers completely out of our hair. I'm not sure, really how this will work.
The other good thing is, they will put the good stuff in lawless space. So there is an incentive(even though looking at those that mine high sec in EVE, sometimes players will take the path of least resistence despite "reward or incentives"
So all in all, I'm not sure how it will end up. I do know PvP'ers are far outnumbered at the site, and the developers do listen to the community there(as garnered by how many things they have changed at the players request)
I'm still hopeful, but cautiously optimistic.
And sometimes, I do get completely burnt out like I was after my first post, after reading a thread at StarCitizens site where the player base wants to make boarding worthless by adding a self destruct mechanism. Being able to board ships was the coolest thing I've ever heard of in a space sim, why ruin it? So I was a little angry with my first post lol, I had just read that thread where the PvE'ers where posting developer quotes about there will be self destructs. My bad if I came off too doom and gloomy.

William these guys are going to beta test all the functions of everything.. they are not going to make a game that isn't fun... if there is a problem with the self destruct system they will adjust it or remove it based on the general consensus. There could be limitations for it like you can only set it off once an enemy has boarded... ever play counter-strike??? if you can kill the enemy and diffuse the bomb then the ships yours... maybe they will make it so when you start a self destruct sequence you cant eject after and so it counts as a death instead of ejecting. Basically they can control and adjust any part of the game through little changes like that.
PvP in this game as currently proposed will be extremely exhilarating... if there was no permadeath, item loss, and a chance to take over ships and steal cargo the game would be boring...
They will likely make a cap on how many lifes you can buy in a certain amount of time... Good players wont need lives its going to make you have to be serious if you want to fly in low to no-sec areas where all the best precious metals, ship & weapon dealerships, and other high value points of interest. You will likely see fleets of ships in these areas battling it out for the right to mine there for as long as they want sucking it temporarily dry of resources..
Death can be avoided by having ships in these large fleets pilot large-capacity ships with room to pickup players who eject from their ships before dying... once you blow someones ship up, unless your just a douche and have a vendetta out for that player, you're not going to go after their escape pods. They have stated you will be able to pick up ejected friendly's and even earn a reward from their insurance company for doing it. Theres going to be other ways to escape before resorting to self explosion anyways, such as subspace drives that you can use to port out to a saved coordinate. They can just adjust how the technologies on these work and it will be awsome...
Its pretty obvious you never played freespace 2.. fs2 is the best space/flight/dogfight simulator to date. They released its source code and for more than 8 years there has been development on that code to upgrade its graphics and capabilities. There are standalone full modifications of the game using the upgraded engine such as Diaspora. Diaspora is a FREE standalone game utilizing the FreeSpace Open Source Project engine. Videos of it do not do it justice, just check it out.
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=81859.0 is the forum page for the release of the game. It has pretty low system spec's and you'll be suprised with how awsome it is. Just download and install the client, and download and install the patch 1.04.Patch 1.04 is REQUIRED for mouse controls (non-joystick) to function. Hit F2 in-game and select fs style controls. Make sure to max graphics settings and high memory effects and adjust your resolution from the launcher. Pay attention to the tutorial, adjust some controls to make them more convenient (such as bank left and right) and enjoy the game :D. Its pretty much how i imagine star citizen to play! If you want more, the campaign is short for diaspora... buy freespace 2 from gog.com and then install the FSO project from hard-light.net and start the game from the launcher, up the settings, and select mediavps ( enhanced graphics and effects mod ). Enjoy the epicness. You can play for days on playermade content for the FSO engine. Its all voice acted. Good Plots.

1. Slider protects people from even seeing PvP'ers in the majority of the universe
2. So far their shooting for 40 to 100 players per instance(because of graphics), (Really...instances?)
If so...that's a dagger to me, once you make it so you can use sliders and things like that in pvp...all you did was make an ow bg. Meaning that everyone in that area is just there for pvp. For me the fun is having no clue when I'm going to get pummelled. If I have to have my slider up for that...then I'm going to be watching for it...sucks if thats the case. Please someone tell me it aint so!!!!

Lowering the slider only lowers the chance this could happen, doesn't eliminate it completely. Play Freespace 2 and you'll get an idea of how the instances can and will work. 40-100 players is A LOT.

For Immediate Release
Contact:Deborah Gilleran
Lakewood, N.J., Mar. 5, 2007—Georgian Court University faculty members Louise Wootton, associate professor of biology, and Claire Gallagher, associate professor of education, have received a United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Education Grant in the amount of $10,600. Their application, entitled "Teaching about the Real Space Invaders: A Standards-based Integrated Curriculum Unit that Raises Awareness of Exotic Invasive Species in America's Ecosystems," was initially submitted in early 2005.
The grant will allow Georgian Court faculty and students to build an integrated curriculum unit to help middle school teachers relate to their students the importance of protecting the environment from invasive species through creation of an integrated curriculum that includes written materials as well as links to additional material available free of charge through Georgian Court's Web site. The program will also include "learning trunks" that will be available for loan to middle school teachers, and which will contain all of the materials necessary to complete the curriculum unit's suggested activities. Dr. Wootton says that numerous studies have demonstrated that teaching using integrated curricula results in greater intellectual curiosity, improved attitude toward schooling and enhanced problem-solving skills.
"Invasive species were recently listed as one of the most important hazards to New Jersey's natural habitats," says Dr. Wootton. "Yet, while most people have some appreciation for the role of pollutants and overdevelopment on the natural environments around them, many have little or no appreciation for the damaging effects of invasive species."
Dr. Wootton expects that this will be the first of many such integrated learning units that the university will create. This, she says, will relieve the burden on area teachers to create such units themselves, and allow them more access to standards-based, integrated curricula, providing more opportunities for hands-on learning experiences.
Founded in 1908 and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, Georgian Court University is a comprehensive university with a strong liberal arts core and a special concern for women. A forward-thinking university that supports diversity and academic excellence, Georgian Court serves over 3,000 students of all faiths and backgrounds in a residential Women's College and a coeducational University College with undergraduate and graduate programs. Georgian Court's main campus is located at 900 Lakewood Avenue, Lakewood, N.J., on the picturesque former George Jay Gould estate, now named a National Historic Landmark. Georgian Court also offers classes at its site at 90 Woodbridge Center Drive in Woodbridge and at Coastal Communiversity in Wall and Cumberland County College in Vineland.

I don't know, I try to keep my stuff in order, but between red light cameras and automated tag readers, these things seem to be the definition of "oppression".
Most of the folks I know who have been victims of red light cameras or tickets for expired documentation (exposed by auto tag readers) are working hard to keep their heads above water and their infractions are generally an oversight not worthy of the kick in the balls of a $80 – 100 ticket.
How about we adjust the law to where any electronically generated violation (even the first two) can only be issued a warning, and if the violators continue to "fail to get it", double their fines.

Dick Harpootlian: Jon Huntsman had 'lips planted' on Barack Obama
As Jon Huntsman prepares to speak at a South Carolina county GOP fundraiser tonight, state Democratic Party Chairman Dick Harpootlian let loose on a conference call just now.
Kasie Hunt reports that Harpootlian was asked whether he scheduled the call because Huntsman is an especially formidable opponent for President Obama. His response? No, not really:
"Here's a guy who had his lips firmly planted on the president's butt three months ago, and now is speaking ill out of 'em out of those same lips. Can you trust a guy who turns this quickly? He is somebody who apparently will say whatever it takes to get elected," Harpootlian said. "Huntsman, not only is he disingenuous, he's disloyal. So I must admit I have a bit more vitriol for him than I might the other candidates. Is that too subtle?"Continue Reading
Then, quietly, he added: "I don't think the DNC's going to ask me to do these anymore."

Re: Mike Pourtnoy
Well, I actually expected more positive feedback on Mike. And Ive never heard of DT "ripping off" other bands. Oh well, its what you like I guess. Ive always thought they were pretty original.
Mike can play fast, I have a video of them playing Metallica's Damage Inc. with some screeming "singer" dont know who it is. Anyway, Its definately faster than metallica played it, but Id put money on the fact that Larz cant play DT's stuff, and alot of the people here like Larz . But, I also know he cant play as fast as Panteras drummer. I used to be pretty fast, but as I started to play DT, I lost the speed, and replaced it with technical abitlity. Thats what I like. I like the sound of the double basses going full tilt, but to me its more about the odd beats. And that he is good at.
As for him(or them) ripping off Rush, I dont see it. JMO, but I think Mike is better than Peart. Peart is a percussionist, in that he plays some other percussion instruments, Mike is a drummer. I guess Peart is a much better musician, but Mike is a better drummer.
As for the rest of the band I think they are all just as talented, except the singer. They have excellent timing as a group, and do very well together.
Again what bands do these other drummers play for, i might listen to them a bit.

Product description
A power meter is the ultimate training tool for serious cyclists and triathletes. Affixed to the handlebars, a power meter is like a cycling supercomputer, displaying critical data on a cyclist's speed, distance, and workload. "Training and Racing with a Power Meter" is the missing manual for competitive athletes who want to unlock the secrets that lead to speed. This second edition updates the only book devoted to this rapidly changing science. In only a few short years, power meters have become an essential training tool for amateur and pro cyclists and triathletes. The first edition of "Training and Racing with a Power Meter" was largely responsible for popularising what was once an arcane technology understood by only a few elite coaches and trainers. Now the updated second edition provides significant updates on technology, software tools, training protocols, and workouts, making the benefits of power-based training available to everyone. The new edition provides specific information for triathletes - the fastest-growing segment in endurance sports - including a complete triathlon training plan. Other significant updates include reviews of the latest hardware, refinements and additions to training plans, additional case studies, more on monitoring fitness and chronic training loads, and new power graphics, charts and tables throughout. "Training and Racing with a Power Meter, 2nd Ed.", will continue to be the definitive guide to the most important training tool ever developed for endurance sports.

After a long and grueling campaign, the election is over.
The city said now it's time to take down political signs on public and private land.
"They have to be removed within ten days after the election," said Albuquerque code enforcement head Brennon Williams.
Signs in road medians or on sidewalks are considered to be in violation, because they block public rights-of-way.
The city is getting rid of those type of signs immediately.
The city said at this point they've found thousands of signs blocking public rights-of-way. Now they're collecting them and taking them to the Pino Yard near I-25 and San Antonio.
"Candidates can go out and if they wish to do so, collect those signs that have been collected that were placed improperly to begin with," said Williams.
After about a month, the signs will either be recycled or trashed.
But for those signs that stay up past the ten day deadline there are consequences for property owners and candidates.
"If we've tried and tried and tried, to get them to do what they need to do, we can initiate a criminal complaint, we can take them to court," said Williams.
That can lead up to a $500 fine or jail time, but the city said that kind of punishment is rare because most candidates don't want their names associated with breaking the law.

Very nice front shifting
I have the SRAM Red gruppo on my bike, short of the front derrailleur, where I opted for the SRAM Force. This is primarily due to the steel cage on the Force vs. the Ti cage on the Red. I've also used the Rival front derailleur and there is a noticibly smoother difference going to the Force. After 1,000 miles on the new front der, I have not had to adjust it once. Great component!

The poem in question deals with the idea of a divided self:
From under the edge of the night
Toward me I'm silently diving.
Inside me it's roaring - my ear
Is taking a walk in the rain.
A voice (it is someone's, not mine) -
Monotonous - lingers behind.
A lurch then: bones, stones
...skull crash course.
I was struck by how the structure of the second line emphasises the dislocating effect ('I'm silently diving towards me' wouldn't be nearly as effective) and how this extract seems to capture something of the disembodied feeling you sometimes get when writing a poem: almost like what Julian Jaynes would call an 'auditory hallucination'.
Grünbein goes on to discuss the notion of the 'I' in greater depth. He says the poem made him aware of how "...your so called 'lyrical I'...was only partially congruent with the intellectual being behind it, whom only you were familiar with... The Romans knew all about the histrionic element in any form of public discourse, including poetry, and coined the term 'persona' for it.... The poetic subject...is not concerned with the real person, the one carrying a driver's licence and identification papers, but with the stranger beneath the mask. 'Larvatus prodeo' - 'I show myself wearing a mask', was Descartes' motto, and it captures in a nutshell every writer's constitutive two-facedness."
Thinking about that unavoidable 'two-facedness' in poetry, something I've written about myself (my first collection 'Division Street' is all about necessary divisions of various kinds) I remembered the thought-provoking neuroscientific work done by Benjamin Libet on our perceptions in time. Libet's work dealt mostly with automatic and unconscious reactions and how spontaneous, volitional acts are experienced by us as conscious and deliberate. Libet's studies of this 'readiness potential' proved controversial because they might be taken to imply that since unconscious processes in the brain are the true initiator of volitional acts, therefore free will plays no part in their initiation. If unconscious brain processes have already taken steps to initiate an action before consciousness is aware of any desire to perform it, the causal role of consciousness in volition is all but eliminated. In other words, we know not what we do, but we have the illusion of control.
This in turn links to the idea that our perceptions of time founder because memory is a thing we constantly reconstruct. A fascinating blog post by George Musser summarises some of the research in this area, arguing
"It's not that our memory is a glitchy wetware version of computer flash memory; it's that the computer metaphor just doesn't apply...we store only bits and pieces of what happened—a smattering of impressions we weave together into feels like a seamless narrative. When we retrieve a memory, we also rewrite it, so that the time next we go to remember it, we don't retrieve the original memory but the last one we recollected. So, each time we tell a story, we embellish it, while remaining genuinely convinced of the veracity of our memories."
|Richard Ashcroft preparing to vault some cars in the
video for 'Bittersweet Symphony'...
I wonder if this awareness of multiplicity, or 'two-facedness', of the slippery nature of time is what makes poets so fascinated by other lives - particularly the lives we might have led. I've always been obsessed by poems like John Burnside's 'The Good Neighbour' which imagines a kind of 'double' who represents all the things the narrator could have become, yet keeps a distance all the same, or poems that let us briefly inhabit another person's world, offer a glimpse into a alternative reality. There's a great poem by Michael Symmons Roberts in the latest issue of Poetry London called 'The Others' which I kept returning to because of its theme, our 'opaque' thoughts of other people getting ready for the day. There's a sharp sense of longing about this poem which kept drawing me back to it. The other people alluded to in the poem:
...dress in other people's many ways:
shirt first, shirt last, no shirt at all.
And some resent the clothes they have to wear.
If you were there to see them, you would mark
the way they thread their buttons through,
the pout they give the mirror as they leave.
There's probably no poem that captures this envy of the lives we can't lead better than Derek Mahon's 'Leaves', which I'm sure is familiar to many readers of Poetry on the Brain, but which I'd like to end with anyway:
The prisoners of infinite choice
Have built their house
In a field below the wood
And are at peace.
It is autumn, and dead leaves
On their way to the river
Scratch like birds at the windows
Or tick on the road.
Somewhere there is an afterlife
Of dead leaves,
A stadium filled with an infinite
Rustling and sighing.
Somewhere in the heaven
Of lost futures
The lives we might have lived
Have found their own fulfilment.

The University of Texas System is entering the wide open world of MOOCs. Yep, that's a real thing.
MOOC, short for massive open online course, is a growing trend in higher education, and one which UT System administrators believe will help raise graduation rates and provide affordable online and blended classes for anyone with an Internet connection.
The nine academic universities and six health institutions of the UT System will join a $5 million partnership with edX, an online nonprofit founded by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The University of California, Berkeley, has also jumped on board.
"Higher education is at a crossroads," said Steven Mintz, who was recently appointed as the executive director of the Institute for Transformational Learning. "But by leveraging new technologies we can enhance student learning, we can accelerate graduation and we can hold down the cost of higher ed. … EdX will help us envision a new model for public higher education for the 21st century."

WASHINGTON — First Lady Nancy Reagan will attend the royal wedding of Britain's Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson in July, the White House announced today.
Elaine Crispen, Mrs. Reagan's press secretary, said the First Lady had received a formal invitation as well as a handwritten note from the prince asking her to come to the July 23 event.
Although thousands of American tourists have stayed away from Britain due to the recent round of terrorist attacks in Europe, Crispen said the First Lady would not be deterred.
"She's just not going to dwell on it," Crispen said.
She said it had not yet been decided how many days Mrs. Reagan will stay in Britain for the wedding.
"It's going to be small, a wedding for the family," Crispen said, indicating the event will be much less lavish than the wedding for Prince Charles and Princess Diana that Mrs. Reagan attended in 1981.

In his Sunday TechCrunch post, Why It's Never Mattered That America's Schools 'Lag' Behind Other Countries, Gregory Ferenstein publicly raises the question that many of us have privately asked: are the abysmal U.S. rankings in global tests of academic excellence that big a deal?
Ferenstein's intriguing answer is an unequivocal no. Here's why.
First, the U.S. has never ranked at the top of global tests of academic excellence. Yet, according to Ferenstein, this has never mattered in our economic success. This is because, notes Ferenstein, "Research has consistently shown that on nearly every measure of education (instructional hours, class size, enrollment, college preparation), what students learn in school does not translate into later life success. The United States has an abundance of the factors that likely do matter: access to the best immigrants, economic opportunity, and the best research facilities."
Secondly, adds Ferenstein, "while Chinese students, on average, have twice the number of instructional hours as Americans, both countries have identical scores on tests of scientific reasoning." Ferenstein suggests that the ability to reason, or creatively think about problems, is the key to innovation. And innovation is the signature hallmark of U.S. economic dominance. That is, there is something unique about America that fosters inspired problem-solving, and, thus, success, even when those hallowed predictors of success, standardized tests, don't bear this out.
Finally, Ferenstein makes the now-obvious point that the much-touted necessity of a college degree is a big shiny chimera. With a nod to Richard Arum's and Joseph Roksa's "Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses," Ferenstein writes that "most students float through college without learning much in the way of critical thinking." Ferenstein adds that, "Determination, raw intelligence, and creativity are the measures of a successful college student and employee — none of those factors are learned in school."
While many bemoan the inequalities in American society — especially as we remember the largely dissipated and still inchoate Occupy Wall Street movement that entertained the world a year ago — Ferenstein infers that it is perhaps our inequality that insures our dominance. As I always tell European friends visiting from abroad, in America you will find the best and worst that humanity has to offer. Blazing original innovation and vapid, reptilian inanity. Apple's Steve Jobs vs. "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo."
However, these grotesque, if hilarious, discrepancies in decorum, class, and educational discernment don't have much effect on our economic standing. This is because, claims Ferenstein, "the innovators at the helm of an economy come from the top quarter of students. While the United States has a dismal track record of inequality, we treat our brightest minds quite well. The 'average test scores are mostly irrelevant as a measure of economic potential,' write Hal Salzman and Lindsay Lowell in the prestigious journal, Nature. 'To produce leading-edge technology, one could argue that it is the numbers of high-performing students that is most important in the global economy.' The United States, they find, has among the highest percentage of top-performing students in the world. Whether the abundance of smart students is a product of U.S. culture, an artifact of the genetic lottery, or some unknown factor hidden in our education system is anyone's guess."
Nevertheless, I will venture a guess. Beyond our world-class research facilities and welcoming attitude towards legal immigrants, the reason the U.S. produces a high percentage of elite, go-getting innovators is because we are still — even with increased government intrusions into our storied private sector – the one place on earth where natives and immigrants of all stripes can risk failure and try, try again. That is, we have a business-friendly environment – ranked 4th best in the world — that fosters the creative disruption so necessary to success in today's high-tech world.
Moreover, we have a tolerance for inequality of outcomes, if not inequality of opportunity. And this tolerance for unequal outcomes insures that genuine innovators are not held back by the codependent mediocrity of the mob.
It may be that to be the top dog economically, we may never be the top dog academically. I am willing to pay that price.

the hornets are a top 10 team possibly a top 5. they are the best 3 point shooting team in the nba. 4 of our 5 starters average double digits in scoring. chris paul averages a double double in scoring and assists. tyson chandler averages a double double in scoring and rebounds. an 8-2 start is good but there are 72 games left. if this team can start beating powerhouses like dallas, spurs, phoenix, boston, then i think we'll start to wonder if this team is a real contender. until this happens we'll just enjoy watching a team that will possibly win in the playoffs but eventually will get eliminated. i'm optimistic and i expect about 50 wins from this club. chris paul is having a great year and if he can continue this he'll prove himself as the best point guard without question. if he does this then i think anything can happen. the team's potential is endless.

Beginners: Flavours that go well together
Hello all,
I am new here but have been browsing this site for awhile now. I finally decided to register today as I have a burning question. I was trying to spice up my Chocolate Banana Protein Shake and considered various options, such as cinnamon and peppermint. However, cinnamon doesn't seem to go with chocolate and I was out of peppermint (Is it a good idea, by the way?). Anyway, I have never received any form of culinary training before, so I am pretty clueless about flavour matching, I am hoping that you guys can tell me some basics or flavours you usually put together. Mainly, I'm interested in what healthy foods go well with chocolate as my protein powder is chocolate and I've been putting it into my cereal and oatmeal.
For reference, here's my very basic protein shake recipe, which I like a lot:
1 frozen banana (chopped up into pieces)
250 ml skim milk
30g chocolate whey protein powder
Lots of ice (It's a little sweet without the ice and the feeling of fullness is nice, so I prefer having it in more volume and less sweetness)
Thank you!
My husband has been making protein shakes with chocolate powder as well. The other day, we were out of bananas, and he tossed in some frozen strawberries. He said it was delicious! Any frozen berries would probably be very good with chocolate.
It's a personal thing so go w/ flavor combinations you like. I don't love cinnamon with chocolate but it's a popular combination a lot of Mexican desserts do that combination so that could work for you. I wouldn't use mint with bananas and chocolate, personally. I'd probably add peanut butter to your smoothie but I love pb. I'd also consider some espresso powder to enhance the chocolate (and a handful of chocolate chips). A dash of cayenne or chipotle to give it some zing--especially with the cold. I'd also use vanilla powder instead of chocolate and add nutmeg.
re: chowser
peanut butter
try coconut extract or unsweetened coconut
crushed pecans or cashews or macadamias or almonds
sugar free preserves
wheat germ
graham crackers (less healthy i know)
When you are trying to figure out flavor combinations in general, I have found that the best way to see if things will taste good together is to smell them together. If they smell good together, chances are they will taste good together as well. Another idea when you are trying to pair flavors is to think about various dishes a certain ingredient is commonly found in and then think about what other flavors are in those dishes as well.
For example, the bananas make me think of things like banoffee pie (toffee, graham cracker crumbs), banana bread (cinnamon, vanilla), banana pudding (nilla wafers) and flavored yogurt (strawberries, blueberries). Many desserts that feature chocolate also have things in them such as caramel, espresso, raspberries, coconut, or orange zest. If you are able to leave out either the chocolate (maybe try a vanilla flavored powder) or the banana, that opens up more options because it is easier to match just one flavor instead of two.
Really, though, the best advice I can give you is to give it a try. Take a chunk of banana or a small piece of chocolate and try nibbling it in combination with other things, until you find something that you like. Have fun!
If you want to learn about flavour pairings beyond this particular shake, I reccommend buying a copy of Culinary Artistry (Dorneburg & Page), which gives lists of flavour pairings for all major ingredients. It's a nice reference guide, and makes for good reading.

Good rotisserie chicken in downtown Toronto?
I love rotisserie/roast chicken, but can't find any half-decent in the downtown area. Are there any places that I've been missing?
I like what they have at the Q (formerly St. Hubert) in Etobicoke, but can't find anything of similar quality without going to a fine dining establishment. Are there any places that provide good roast chicken for a reasonable price, one where you can just pick it up without having to dine in? There's a place right by Schwartz's in Montreal that looked like exactly what I'm looking for in Toronto.
Churrasco's of St. Clair is somewhat similar, but it's a bit far.
Can anyone help?
Swiss Chalet does not count - they occasionally have pretty good product in store, but taking that stuff home turns it in to mud. I would say they had a good product about 10-15 years ago, but it went severely downhill from there.
The place in Montreal by Schwartz's is Coco Rico. Great rotisserie chicken! Sorry I can't help you find somewhere like that in T.O I'm still looking..
re: piccola
Sardinha O Rei Dos Frangos is at Bloor and Delaware. The chicken is pretty good and I have a soft spot for them because I order about 50 chickens a couple of times a year to feed very poor people and they always give me a great price and deliver them east of Yonge for free. Nice people.

"My part in achieving this goal is to be a vigilant steward of the resources that we have been given and to constantly focus on decreasing waste and improving processes, while ensuring that the care received by our patients remains our first concern."
Thomas graduated with both a bachelor's and master's degree in accounting from the University of Florida. She is a certified public accountant and a certified healthcare financial professional.
Originally from the Gainesville area, she moved to Ormond Beach in 1995. Thomas and her husband have been married for 27 years, and have three children.

John Carmack is a giant of the gaming world; as one of the founders of id Software he was instrumental in the creation of legendary games like Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein 3D.
But more than 20 years after the release of his first game, he doesn't play many of the first-person shooters he helped invent and popularize. For that matter, he doesn't game much at all.
"The only time I have to play games, I play Wii games with my six-year-old son," he says. "I'm into all the different Mario games… I'm not all that into the latest Killzone or other [first-person shooters] out there."
Carmack points out that at age 40, he's not the gamer he used to be. "I try not to guide our content decisions very much now," he says. "I take care of the technical side of things… I'm not our market."
In June 2009, Carmack sold id to ZeniMax Media, but he still spends a lot of time at the office. "After selling the company, I've been busier than I had been before," he says. "I feel very obligated to make sure that the buyers don't feel like I sold them a bad bill of goods or something."
Carmack's been working hard to complete his new game, the post-apocalyptic shooter Rage. It's due to hit stores on September 13th, for Microsoft Windows, Apple's Mac OS X, Sony's PlayStation 3, and Microsoft's Xbox 360. Carmack says that the highly anticipated new game –and the new idTech 5 engine that runs it– are on track and should release on time.
"I expect that to be consuming a lot of my time," he says. "We're feeling very good about it."

Earlier this month, a band of hackers claimed to have broken down the PlayStation 3's front door, leaving the system open and vulnerable. Sony responded with a lawsuit against the group, and then the band of binary busters fired back its own statement. Now, it appears Infinity Ward's popular Modern Warfare series is suffering from rampant hacking as a result of the breach.
Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling recently created a thread on the official Infinity Ward forums speaking to the issue.
"Sony has recently acknowledged a breach in security on the PS3, which resulted in games to become exposed to exploits and hacks," Bowling wrote. "Modern Warfare 2 is no exception to this security exploit and we understand that some of you have experienced problems with stats and other issues associated with this."
Further, Bowling dove into the specifics of the matter, saying that patches to the game will not resolve the issues currently plaguing the shooter.
"Games rely on the security of the encryption on the platforms they're played on; therefore, updates to the game through patches will not resolve this problem completely, unless the security exploit itself is resolved on the platform," he said. "However, that doesn't mean we're not going to look into every option available to us. Regretfully, Call of Duty games are receiving the bulk of the hacker's attention, due to its high player counts and popularity. However, the number of legitimate players severely outweighs the bad apples."
Additionally, Bowling said a security issue like this is unlikely to happen in the future, as "we plan to adjust our approach to not rely solely on platform security and reduce the ability for this to happen in our games, as has already been displayed by the work Treyarch has done on Call of Duty: Black Ops to prevent similar measures."

Has anyone else noticed that as you get older it's harder to judge how much "umph" you need to put out?
For example, yesterday Thunder was lined up perfectly along the bank that runs alongside his barn so of course I decide I can't pass up the opportunity to climb on. The bank isn't high enough for me just to throw a leg over so the intention was to jump and lay over his back on my belly then swing my left leg around and sit up. Sounds easy huh? Well I jumped too hard and kept right on going off the other side of him. Kicked poor Este in the face on my way down because she had her nose in our business, but other than giving her a startle it didn't hurt her. Thunder just turned his head and gave me the look that said, "You fool!". LOL
I find myself facing the same dilemma when I get on Cutter. I mount from the ground when using a saddle and I'm used to riding tall horses so being I'm only 5'2 1/2" I have to use all my umph when getting on. Cutter isn't tall, maybe 14.2 (I haven't measured him since he quit growing) and I find myself standing there with my right foot in the stirrup, left foot on the ground and debating on how hard I need to push off the ground. Seriously, it's like I'm frozen in trance trying to think it through.
Why does judging distances seem so hard these days?

Home evacuated after Torquay landslip
Posted: November 24, 2012|
POLICE and firefighters were called to a landslip in Torquay yesterday morning.
Tons of earth appeared to have slipped at the property in Warren Road.
Police and fire crews were at the scene at 9am and residents were being evacuated for safety reasons.
Torbay Council's structural engineer was also at the scene.

Three private homes at the bottom of the hill were evacuated because they were in a "vulnerable position", while a fourth affected private property - on top of the hill - was empty, Torbay Council said.
A spokesman said: "There is still the possibility that more debris could come down and the council has been working closely with the building owners concerned, and a demolition contractor will start work this evening."
Affected residents were being moved to temporary accommodation.

Threadneedle co-head of emerging market debt John Peta has taken over management of the group's local EMD fund as he begins running money at the group for the first time.
Peta, who joined from Boston's Acadian Asset Management last October, took over from co-EMD head Henry Stipp as manager of the £95m Threadneedle Emerging Market Local fund on 8 February.
Peta and Stipp will also now co-manage the offshore Threadneedle (Lux) Absolute Emerging Market Macro fund.
Stipp will continue to manage the flagship £984m Threadneedle Emerging Market Bond fund, in keeping with his focus on hard currency mandates.
Peta's expertise centres on local currency funds, while Zara Kazaryan, who also joined the group last year, focuses on corporate EMD.
Threadneedle also hired Mindaugas Lepeska as an EMD analyst in October as it moved to strengthen its team following the departure of divisional head Richard House, who left to join Standard Life Investments last April.

dried tarragon
1 tablespoon
2 tablespoons
We thought these were really good. For a more intense orange flavor, I did take 2c of orange juice & a pat of butter, and reduced it down to 1/2c. I then added the 2T chardonnay to my OJ reduction and continued the recipe as written, though with my already-thick reduction sauce, I did not have to add the cornstarch/water step. Served with green beans, and steamed brown basmati rice with a bit of butter, chardonnay, and drizzled with a some of the orange sauce. Thanks for the great recipe, HAC3!
Came out tough and chewy.

I used bone in pork chops and it turned out fine. I did the orange reduction versus the cornstarh thickening method and it was delicious! It took a little extra time, but well worth it IMO.
This very simple recipe is lovely. I read other review and agree that more orange juice is key (a added a cup) and I used fresh tarragon (about 2 teaspoons.) As the sauce was thickening, a dash of cayenne pepper, a teaspoon of orange zest and a 1/2 tsp of sugar really enhanced the favor. It was a hit -- thanks!
This was very tasty and moist. Although I am not fond of orange flavour I still liked it.
Most excellent... this also works well with Chicken breasts.
It was just Alright. If I made it again I think I would add some brown sugar to the sauce.
OMG this was so delicious! I didn't have plain orange juice, so i substituted OJ with mango, so you get a little mango twist to it and it was still VERY good. Definitely printing out the recipe card for this one!

According to Verizon Wireless, 4G LTE data traffic volume will increase 6 to 7 times over the next three years. And to stay ahead of that demand the carrier will begin to deploy its AWS spectrum during the second half of the year, some of which it has acquired from cable companies. But that won't be enough. Like other carriers, Verizon will tap into next-gen LTE Advanced technologies.
"Let me be clear. We will lead with LTE Advanced, just as we have led with the deployment of 4G LTE networks," said Nicola Palmer, Verizon president and chief network officer. "LTE Advanced isn't 5G. LTE Advanced is a series of features that can be deployed on an LTE network. And we will deploy the ones that make sense for us and our customers."
MORE: Top 10 Smartphones
Carrier aggregation is one of those features that Palmer says Verizon is excited about. Verizon will be able to take its 700 MHz spectrum and its AWS spectrum and make them look like one to devices. This results in wider bandwidth and faster speeds for customers.
Heterogeneous networks is another LTE Advanced feature. "When you deploy the first small cell in your network you can say you have a het net," Palmer said. Small cells are a more compact version of a traditional cell site, which can be placed on or inside buildings, on utility polls or other spaces larger towers can't go.
While T-Mobile has announced that it will deploy LTE Advanced features later this year, Verizon has yet to provide a timetable. However, given that the carrier currently offers LTE coverage in 500 markets to T-Mobile's 7, Verizon doesn't exactly sound worried about falling behind.
"There can be a little bit of hype about this, said Palmer, "but you can trust that for LTE Advanced we will be choosing the right features for our customers and deploying them aggressively to stay ahead of their needs."
What's the point of increasing the speed when the carriers just gouge the customers with ridiculously low data caps? One can just blow through the whole month's data cap with a high def movie.
Oh please. Verizon can't even figure out how to allow their users to send photos or files while talking on the phone. AT&T can, Sprint can, T-Mobile can. Verizon? No clue.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (May 5, 2013) -- In yet a third one-run game, Baylor came up on the short side of a 5-4 decision at Kansas as the Jayhawks walked off with a 10-inning win on Sunday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark. The loss for the Bears marked the first time they've been swept by Kansas in 17 all-time Big 12 series.
Trailing 3-2 entering the eighth, Baylor (25-23, 11-9 Big 12) rallied to take a lead with two clutch hits from seniors Steve DalPorto and Cal Towey. Towey drew a one-out walk and advanced to second in the eighth before DalPorto delivered a two-out single to tie the game.
After Brett Doe singled to start the ninth and pinch-runner Logan Brown stole second, Towey came through with a two-out single to give the Bears a 4-3 lead.
However, the Jayhawks (30-18, 12-9 Big 12) had a second late-inning rally left in them in the series. Back-to-Back doubles off reliever Ryan Smith tied the game in the ninth, and set up a great chance to for KU to end the game in regulation. But Josh Michalec entered the contest and wiggled his way out after a sacrifice bunt, pop up to third and liner to center.
"We competed well at the plate, especially late in the game, which makes us so tough," said BU Head Coach Steve Smith. "We had a lead, had a chance to close it out and didn't. Then we did a good job of keeping the game going. Josh did a great job of getting it done."
Michalec wasn't as fortunate in the 10th, though. He walked Michael Suiter with one out and gave up a stolen base on a pitchout. He got a foul out down the right field line for the second out, but wasn't able to get the third as Jordan Dreiling's game-winning hit to right field was just out of reach of Nathan Orf on a dive.
Prior to trailing, the Bears opened the game with a huge opportunity. Lawton Langford reached on an error to leadoff the game, Orf was hit by a pitch and Towey was walked to load the bases with no outs. However, BU only got two runs out of it on productive outs by Jake Miller and Adam Toth.
"The first inning was the biggest inning of the game on our side offensively," Smith said. "They gave us the first three batters of the game. We scored with two outs. If we get a hit there, it could have been bigger."
Making his first start since April 12, Dillon Newman returned to ace form. He gave up two runs (one earned) on four hits and struck out three in six innings on 67 pitches. With no walks allowed in the no-decision, he extended his streak without a walk to 37.2 innings and 154 batters.
"They were hotly-contested games [in this series], both sides pitched it pretty well," said Smith. "I don't know if we could've asked anymore out of our starting pitchers. Dillon was really sharp today. We let him go as far as I felt we should. We were competitive, played hard but just couldn't make the pitch or get the hit when we needed to."
With a week off for final exams, Baylor returns home for its final home game of the regular season on Tuesday, May 14 at 6:35 p.m. CT against UT San Antonio.
Notes: Prior to this weekend, Baylor had not been swept in a Big 12 series since May 12-13, 2012 at Oklahoma and had been swept in a Big 12 series only twice since 2011 … Baylor had never been swept by Kansas in 16 prior Big 12 series … Baylor has lost four of 17 series all-time to Kansas (1997, 2010, 2011) and two straight in Lawrence … Baylor is 45-13 overall against Kansas and 17-10 in Lawrence … Baylor is 4-5 on Sundays and 4-5 in series finales … Baylor is 5-4 this season after consecutive losses ... Adam Toth has reached base in a career-high-tying 13 straight games … Steve DalPorto has reached base in seven straight games ... Dillon Newman made his first start since April 12 after experiencing arm soreness … Newman has 37.2 innings and 154 batters faced without a walk … Newman has given up more than three runs in a start just two times in 10 starts … Newman has allowed two walks in 63.1 innings … Nathan Orf's HBP in the first inning tied him for the all-time career record at Baylor with 47 (Matt Williams, 1998-01) … Baylor is 2-3 in extra inning games this season and 29-21 since 2003.

The ex-libris of Greta Garbo
8 2008 in February Art and design
Calculate how much would a book with this ex-libris, Greta Garbo.
I found the illustration in an article on the ex-libris of Hollywood artists, the blog Confessions of a Bookplate Junkie.
- Still do not know what an ex-libris?
What is more remarkable is that, normally, ex-libris are crammed with symbolism, and some earn an appearance somewhat heavy to express all the meanings that the owner expects to print the book in his book.
Therefore, the ex-libris would be an expression of the personality of its owner. A brand.
I wonder how many can afford to have an impression so simple and, at the same time as significant as the stylized profile of Garbo, certainly one of the most striking faces of the last century.
