I've never thought much of "Cosmo" magazine. I guess most guys don't, but I'm totally shocked that they would list going to see a ballet performance as unromantic. Who are they kiding?????? Going to see a ballet live is one of the most romantic, exciting, tear generating experiences I've shared with the girls in my life. In fact, it was seeing NYC Ballet at Lincoln Center last fall that helped me decide to give ballet lessons a try.
Even if you are a die hard ballet fan, you haven't totally experienced what ballet is truly like until you've seen one live!!! Forget Cosmo, take your lover to see a ballet, and I'll guarntee that it'll be the thrill of your lives!!!

Technology - Good or Bad?
Heather Marie Studebaker
People very often debate whether technology is good or bad. Many people believe that technology can only cause harm to their lives and society, while many others strongly defend the technologies which have made their lives much more leisurely and enriching than it could have been several hundred years ago. In my opinion, both of these views are correct to an extent, but I also believe that what should be examined is not whether technology in its self is good or bad, but rather how we as humans use it.
For decades now, television has been accused of contributing to the dissolution of the American family and the destruction of the minds of those who watch it. However, although the TV has been involved in this, the problem roots not with technology but rather the people who choose to let it run their lives. I believe this because it is parents, not TV sets, who choose to let their children sit in front of the television for hours upon hours, and it is the parents who do not intervene and replace TV time with quality family time. Technology has also been blamed for destroying the minds of adults who spend too much time watching it, but in fact, the blame should lie on what programs a person watches or the person who chooses to watch it continuously. Hence, the television is only a contributing factor in family problems and mind destruction. It is the bad judgment of the people who watch television or let their children watch i...

This fall, for the first time, Old Dominion University will offer dedicated on-campus housing for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students and their supporters.
ODU will be the third Virginia university to offer such housing, joining George Mason University and the University of Richmond. Elsewhere in the Southeast, only Duke University, in Durham, N.C., offers it.
The dedicated housing, called Lavender House, is intended to be a place where gay and lesbian students can feel safer and more accepted, ODU said in an announcement Thursday.
Charles Lowman, ODU's assistant director for housing and residence life, said Lavender House will build on efforts to match gay and lesbian students with roommates who will be comfortable with them.

IT managers' thinking is influenced by a myriad of business factors, including research studies advising them not to adopt Apple's computers. But their attitude is changing as Forrester Research, one of the most outspoken proponents of the Mac-free business environment, now backpedals on their 2008 report which called for a total banishment of Macs in the workplace – even for the most mundane tasks such as handling email.
According to the Fortune's Philip Elmer-DeWitt, a new Forrester survey (available for sale on the corporate card here) of 590 IT managers, Mac users comprise "the 17 percent of information workers who use new technologies and find innovative ways to be more productive and serve customers more effectively". Wow, talk about change in stance. But wait, there's more. "Mac users are your HEROes and you should enable them not hinder them", the report concludes, HEROes being a Forrester acronym for Highly Empowered and Resourceful Operatives.
Just like with iPhone, "Macs are being freewheeled into the office" by corporate higher-ups – typically executives, sales reps and other workaholics – who rely on MacBook Pro machines rather than Windows notebooks which "are slowing them down":
Employees want their PCs to boot in 10 seconds, not 10 minutes, and they don't want to have to get a cup of coffee while opening a 20 MB spreadsheet in Excel. They're drawn to uncluttered Macs — especially those with solid-state drives, which are more responsive and boot in seconds.
That, and the looks…

Amazing Chacos
Tags: They survived a house fire!
My parents' house burned down last Christmas, and we basically lost everything. A fireman went in the next day to look for things that may have survived, and I asked him to get my suitcase, to see if anything was salvageable. My clothing and shoes were disgusting, covered in ash and soaked, and then I saw my chacos. Also covered in ash and soaked, but perfectly saveable. They're in perfect condition now, they only slightly smell of smoke, and they are definitely the best shoes I've ever owned. Thanks Chaco!

There are many places in the DC area to get Mediterranean style food - and while some may be more creative, some cheaper, and so on - none feel as much like a welcoming environment as Medaterra to us. Time and again we come, to celebrate our wedding rehearsal, birthdays, and time and again - anniversaries. Never have we been other than VERY, VERY pleased! Thanks Angie for making each visit more special than the last!!
Posted by anonymous on 06/24/2009
Scary from the outset. On a busy night we thought, how could so many people be wrong? Oh, but they were. We chose to sit inside. Don't. It smells and the music is loud and insufferable. The reason the sangria is cheap? It's old wine that can't be served by the glass anymore. Given the level of service and the quality, I thought it would be a place for students, but check the prices. The food was tasty, but not as advertised. The chicken breast with angel hair pasta? It was a few sad pieces of chicken thighs. I know how much thighs cost and it's not $17. We should have left after the old wine and watered down martini.
Posted by Ivette Johnson on 07/06/2008
We kept walking by this place all weekend long to and from the subway station and couldnt help eying the very refreshing looking sangrias which happened to be on happy hour last night for $3 a glass. What a steal. What sealed the deal was the fact that they had chicken tenders for the kids. The wait staff was all super nice and accomodating of the kids and strollers. I ordered a gyro even though it wasnt on the dinner menu and they happily obliged. It came with fries which was kinda weird but both the gyro and the fried tasted great. So did the falafel my sister ordered and even the kids' tenders. But the highlight of the night was the delicious (and strong) sangrias and the lively atmosphere. Both contributed to our leaving a little tipsy. Highly recommend the visit! Not a very long wait and prices were reasonable too.
Posted by Mr Smith on 07/05/2008
our great night started from the moment we were greeted at the door by the smiling hostess, the atmosphere from the warm welcomed continued through out the evening as we enjoyed the vanillia sky martini there happy hour specials are great. this is a great place to visit
Posted by A repeat customer on 10/11/2007
Deciding to partake of nourishment at Medaterra ought be a conscious decision. This, because nourishing you is a conscious decision on the part of the owner and the staff. The nourishment will come on plates and in glasses but don't be fooled to think it is all nourishment through food and drink. It will be nourishment to your soul and heart. The care taken to invite you to relax and partake of exquisitely presented traditional foods speaks to the intention behind this intimate cafe' location in the middle of Woodly Park. Your senses and your soul won't be the only aspects of your experience treated well -- so will your sense of value. The money you spend will be something you will gladly do again and again, knowing that what you receive in return transcends value as measured by dollars. Though the service is wonderful, you won't wait long for your treats to arrive, service is prompt and always with a HIGH level of courtesy. Enjoy!

Itty Bitty Nutella Cakes
These are hilariously, deliciously, unbelievably, shockingly, crazily easy to make.
Emphasis on hilariously and deliciously.
This is one of those regular storebought rectangular angel food cake thingie ma-bobbers that you buy in the grocery store. Violently rip open the package…
And slice the cake down the middle.
After you slice the cake in half, cut shapes either with a round cutter…
Or you can use a square cutter like dees.
Or you can just cut squares without a cutter.
Or, if you're one of those dextrous types, you can cut circles without a cutter.
Or you can do the Hokey Pokey and turn yourself about. Because really, when it comes right down to it, that's what it's all about.
So then you have a few pieces like dees!
Then cut the shapes in half with a small knife.
Now you have a bunch of shorter shapes!
If that makes any sense.
Aren't you glad you have me here to point out these things to you?
So here's what you do! Spread the slices with Nutella.
Then stack three on top of one another, set the stack (or stacks, depending on how many you're doing) in the freezer for about thirty minutes, just until the Nutella is set.
Spread Cool Whip all over the cake, and either make fancy little peaks…
Or make it really smooth. Sprinkle the tops with chocolate sprinkles if you're feeling sassy.
It basically tastes like…well, an itty bitty Nutella cake!
And here's the great part: you can make a whole bunch ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. It only takes a few minutes for them to thaw, and they taste yummy cold.
You can also use jarred lemon curd. Watch!
Just be sure to freeze them before spreading the Cool Whip on, or you'll have a messy mess.
The jam version can get a little sweet.
So when in doubt…stick to Nutella!
Have fun with these, guys. They're fun for kiddo birthday parties or just for a quick after-dinner treat. The Nutella catapults them into…well, into Nutella Land. And that, as we know, is a wonderful land to visit.

- 1 whole Storebought Angel Food Cake Or Pound Cake

- Cool Whip, Thawed In The Fridge
Preparation Instructions
Slice the angel food cake (rectangular) in half lengthwise. Use a round or square cutter to cut out pieces (or cut squares freehand). Cut pieces in half through the middle so that they are the same shape, but shorter.
Spread Nutella on three thin slices of cake. Stack on top of one another and set on a dish in the freezer for 30 minutes, or until the Nutella is very set. Remove from the freezer and ice with soft Cool Whip, then place back into the fridge to harden the Cool Whip, about 30 more minutes. (Or you can serve it immediately.)
Make the cakes ahead of time, then store in the fridge in an airtight container. To serve, just pull them out five to ten minutes before you need them!
(Perfect for quick little birthday celebrations.)

Lil Red On Monday, October 15 at 6:22 pm
Cute idea, but I'm more practical I guess. I'd just slice the whole loaf cake into four layers, spread Nutella between layers, slap them back together, frost with whipped cream, chill awhile, then slice and serve! Family style is a time saver1
erika On Monday, October 15 at 6:24 pm
Or you could take that wonderful Nutella with that wonderful lemoncurd and put them both together on the cake or on graham crackers same time one on top of others. Yes I serious I have served it both wiht graham crackers to adults they love it.. YOU NEED TO TRY IT!

I am so tempted to try these with the lemon curd though not the Nutella because honestly that nutty chocolate spread really jolts a little gag reflex in me.. and not because it isnt a good product. I just ate wayyy too much of it once when I was a kid.

Annette On Tuesday, October 16 at 10:05 am
Just made these yesterday! They looked so good and easy, I thought they would be a perfect dessert for the day and they were. A couple of notes: 1) I wished the angel food would have punched out a little better, since the cake is so spongy it did not cut perfectly. 2) Square were definitely easier than circles. 3) It was not so easy to spread the Nutella on the cakes without it pulling crumbs off the pieces…just need a little extra patience…it is a virtue. I made some with Nutella and some lemon curd, both are absolutely delicious and they are adorable. Next time, if using an angel food cake I would just cut it length-wise into 3 layers, fille the layers and frost it with the Cool Whip, then to serve, just cut it into slices.
Definitely a make again and great to keep on hand. Just had to tweak a few steps. Thanks Ree for this great recipe!!!

Do ya'll think a pour on fondant would work for these or would the fondant be to hot for the little cakes?

Yum – had your mustard cream chicken tonight (which is just so wonderful) with a glass of good white vino with this for dessert – seeing as how I just got out my winter pants and had 6 pair that wouldn't zip I guess all this yumminess must come to an end soon – whine whine.
Ana On Tuesday, October 16 at 8:31 pm
Wow – so simple and yummy.
Jayne On Tuesday, October 16 at 10:52 pm
This is like the cleverest thing ever! I would do this in a pinch. It's similar to my custardless, jelly-less trifles that I make… in that it's so quick and ingenious. I made one in less than 15 minutes by layering leftover cake, diluted berry jam or cooked berry syrup, and whipped cream. All gone in a matter of minutes. Quick desserts are genius.
Eliester On Tuesday, October 16 at 11:00 pm
Man you got me there!
I'll have some people coming over in some weeks and I didn't know what to make for dessert. Thank you for this mega-easy idea!

Great, now I have to postpone this diet at least until Monday so that I have time to consume the entire jar of Nutella I must now go out and buy. Waste not want not!
Kathryn Burlingame On Wednesday, October 17 at 11:24 am
The last thing I cooked in my kitchen was a pot of spaghetti carbonara over the weekend. I had some left over thick sliced bacon in the fridge that had to be used up so decided to make carbonara! What a treat for me as I love it but don'tmake it too often (I try to limit the amount of pasta I eat!). Wow – it really hit the spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Cynthia Blain On Wednesday, October 17 at 11:27 am
These cakes even with bought sponge cake are a nice easy dessert to make, but using Cool Whip just makes them not special at all (to me). Many people like myself are allergic to non dairy products which include either coconut oil or artifical sweeteners in many cases. There are other ingredients too that make an after taste in Cool Whip and other non dairy products. So, when I make the little dessert cakes, I will be using REAL heavy sweetened whipped cream which holds up fine if you use confectioners sugar instead of granulated. That way you know you are getting something pure and natural to put on these cute little cakes if you don't like or can't use non dairy products.
Michele On Wednesday, October 17 at 11:37 am
Honestly cannot wait to make these for the family!!
Deb On Wednesday, October 17 at 11:40 am
Hi, Ree! I just took some pumpkin bread out of the oven. It smells heavenly. I was sipping a glass of your iced coffee while it baked. Thanks for all great recipes!

How Disappointing On Wednesday, October 17 at 4:48 pm
So, you're Sandra Lee now? Girl, this is not a recipe. It's complete garbage. Cool whip? That is NASTY. I mean, how lazy. You can't even make a cake from scratch and whip some cream? COME ON. Done with this blog.
Carla Brewer On Wednesday, October 17 at 4:55 pm
I am cooking a casserole right now. It is the first time that I made this recipe so wish me luck, I got the recipe off the internet. It is a pirogoie casserole. Lasagna noodles, cheddar cheese, mashed patatoes and bacon pieces.

Oh my word, you are brilliant! I love Nutella, lemon curd & angel food cake, so I will definitely be making these. So simple, but looks like you spent hours making them. I just did a post on my blog a few days ago about how some of the best things in life are the simple ones. This recipes definitely underscores that point! Thanks for sharing.

Atrophy - Part I - possible necrosis!
All of these are quotes from the article;
It is probable that immobilized muscles eventually receives less motor drives from the spinal motor neurons.
Muscles immobilized in a shortened position undergo more atrophy than muscles immobilized in a neutral position.
Many skeletal muscle fibers undergo segmental or even complete necrosis (death of living cells).
Wow that sucks!
In general, however, it is the lack of trophic (nutritional) influences to the muscle via its motor nerve which makes recovery such a long lasting process.
I bring this subject up, because I have a shortened tricep long head (#1 on this site, http://www.exrx.net/Muscles/TricepsBrachii.html) on my left arm. Now picture the long head stopping about 1 inch to the left of normal, farther up the arm toward the shoulder.
I broke my forearm when I was 19 (10 years ago) and my arm severely atrophied. Before that, my tricep was the same shape on both arms as far as I can remember. So I was trying to research whether it was possible some tissue actually completely atrophied or died. Naturally, what I read above was disturbing, that complete necrosis was possible. I am not saying that it explains my misshapen tricep, but it could.
Regardless, I notice that my right arm pumps up easier. Say I do 2 sets of DB work for both arms, my right arm will already be getting a better pump. Maybe the tissue in my right arm is more sensitive (or just working properly) because it never atrophied. I have never really attacked it aggressively before. I found if I add 1 or 2 sets I can get an equal workout. So to actually catch up my left arm to my right I will have to probably to 3 to 4 extra work sets for it.
Just wanted to share this as insight into atrophy in case any else has had similar experience.

Video: Sir Cliff Richard backs Golden-Oldies vote bid in National Lottery Awards
Posted: September 22, 2012|
A charity that uses music to brighten the lives of the elderly in Somerset is one of three finalists in the Educational Category of the National Lottery Awards 2012.
Golden-Oldies started in Bath just five years ago. Sir Cliff Richard is patron and he is leading an appeal to the public across the UK to vote for the Goldies Schools' project called Jubilee Time after Time.
From just four sessions in 2008, Goldies as it has become fondly known now runs its' daytime fun singing and activity sessions across the South West. Hundreds of Goldies now look forward each week to attending their local group.
Goldies sessions take place in Street and Shepton Mallet. New sessions are planned for 2013. Two Street Goldies, Rose Sugar and Mike Wheeler hit the headlines earlier this year when they were the first Goldies to marry each other.
Session leaders in mid-Somerset are Jane Harris in Shepton Mallet and Gina Cleverley in Street.
Sessions take place across the South West from Weston-super-Mare to Swindon and from Gloucester down to Yeovil. Earlier this year, the charity launched Goldies Cymru and there will be six sessions in South Wales by the end of 2012.
Charity founder Grenville Jones took the original four sessions himself in the Bath area. There are now a total of 25 dedicated session leaders.
An independent study by academics at the University of Bath concluded: "Being a Goldie enhances participants health and well-being and also strengthens and stimulates communities."
Jubilee Time After Time from Kelvin DeSena on Vimeo
Last year the charity was successful in winning a public vote for its Jubilee Time after Time project and a grant from the People's Millions Lottery Fund.
Patron Sir Cliff Richard explains: "Jubilee Time after Time was a Big Lottery Goldies project this year. It encouraged schools to open their doors to the elderly in their communities and involve them in Jubilee-themed projects, it was a fantastic success, covering many different subjects, which included, of course, lots of singing times together."
Each year the National Lottery makes thousands of awards. It selected the projects that went forward in the seven categories of the National Awards. Jubilee Time after Time was one of ten in the educational category and a public vote during July saw it come out as one of three that now progresses to the final stages of voting.
Sir Cliff added: "We are over the moon that Jubilee Time after Time is in the Lottery Awards 2012 national final, but we need everyone to vote to help us to win.
"Please pick up a phone, or go online, to make Jubilee Time after Time the winner of the Education Awards in the BBC televised final which will be on your screens In December.
"We want to brighten hundreds more lonely lives. Please vote for us to win this award so we can reach out and put more smiles on more faces."

Takemusu Aikido - Volume 1, Background & Basics
- Morihiro Saito
- Aiki News (2007)
- 266 pages
- Aikido / Historical / Technical
Book Summary:
This book is the second edition of Volume 1 of Morihiro Saito's final series of Aikido technical manuals. Produced in bilingual format (Japanese-English), it presents more than sixty variations of ikkyo, nikyo, sankyo, and yonkyo techniques, the most essential of aikido's basic forms. It is illustrated with over 600 photographs and accompanied by detailed step-by-step explanations with many close-up photos
If you've noticed any errors in this entry or wish to expand on it by adding additional images, notes or details please contribute those changes.
Review by: Robert Noha
The newly revised and reissued Takemusu Aikido, Volume 1: Background & Basics by the late Morihiro Saito and Stanley Pranin is a significant addition to anyone's Aikido technical library.
This review will provide an overview of the book and compare the first printing in 1994 with the just released 2007 printing.
Introductory section
One of the many enhancements in the new printing are the numerous photos that highlight Aikido history and the roles of O-Sensei and Saito Sensei in creating and spreading the art. The clarity of all the photos is much improved over the 1994 printing.
The introductory section provides useful background material on the principles and history of Aikido that gives context to the technical chapters.
In the "What is Aikido?" chapter there is an overview of the aspects of Aikido that make it distinct from other martial arts. This includes its ethical, spiritual and defensive nature. The text is virtually identical with the 1994 printing, as it is throughout, with the addition of five more excellent photgraphs of the Iwama Dojo, the Aiki Shrine and O-Sensei and Saito Sensei.
The 17 additional photos of the people and places that influenced Aikido's creation and growth brighten the aikido history chapter. These include: Onisaburo Deguchi, Sokaku Takeda and many of O-Sensei's early supporters. There are several pictures of the fascinating Admiral Isamu Takeshita who was instrumental in O-Sensei's move to Tokyo. Admiral Takeshita is a figure in some ways comparable to Gen. Colin Powell in contemporary America, as he was both a military hero and a diplomat. Takeshita was a participant in the negotiations with President Theodore Roosevelt to end the Russo-Japanese War, for which President Roosevelt received the Nobel Peace Prize. The added pictures help to bring Aikido history to life.
Anyone who has ever dreamed of training with O-Sensei will enjoy the chapter on "Training Under O-Sensei." The text gives a fascinating picture of the training right after WW II into the fifties. Like the history chapter, the text is brought to life with ten additional photos not in the 1994 printing. The early pictures of Saito Sensei are interesting and make those of us not as slim now as we were in our twenties feel a little better, or at least that we are in good company.
The final chapter in the introductory section is on "Spreading Iwama Aikido World Wide." This is only lightly touched on the in 1994 printing. This chapter outlines Saito Sensei's success in teaching Iwama Aikido throughout the world. It provides updated information on his activities since the 1994 printing. Prior to his death in 2002, he named his son Hitohiro as his successor.
Technical section
This section contains chapters on basics and Ikkyo, Nikyo, Sankyo and Yonkyo. It concludes with a helpful glossary of terms and some quotes from O-Sensei not in the 1994 printing.
The "Basic Techniques" chapter, in both printings, lays a solid foundation for the specific techniques that follow. It focuses on the importance of stability, atemi and entering and turning movements.
The "Exercises" chapter provides photos and text illustrating three foundational practices: Tai no henko; Morotedori kokyuho and Suwariwaza kokyuho. The new printing has eight additional photos of O-Sensei and Saito Sensei including some close-ups to help illustrate important points in each technique. These close-ups continue throughout the new printing and really help to illustrate key points.
The chapters on Ikkyo, Nikyo, Sankyo and Yonkyo contain the kind of detailed instruction and numerous variations you would expect from a book by Saito Sensei. An example is the section on the technique that is the bane of every student's life when they are training for their fourth kyu test, Shomenuchi Nikyo. This section contains five additional photos, mostly close-ups, that help to illustrate key parts of the technique. In addition to the step-by-step text explanation there is also a commentary. It provides insights into how and why the technique is performed as it is. The 2007 printing has the commentary by O-Sensei in bold type making it easier to identify.
The production quality of Aikido books has gradually improved since they first came out in the 1960s. This book, which is bilingual (English/Japanese) is another step in that direction. It is an improvement over the 1994 printing as well as Saito Sensei's earlier books. For that reason, it is recommended even if you have the 1994 printing and Saito Sensei's Traditional Aikido books. I purchased two additional copies for senior students after getting the first one. I believe that the revisions of the future volumes will be just as valuable.
Stan Pranin deserves our gratitude for his forty plus years and continuing dedication to making information on O-Sensei and his Aikido available.
Thank you Stan.

A Hero to Serve The Imperial Throne
A Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game spotlight
Many mighty heroes, powerful wizards and great leaders have influenced the history of the Empire. Their names are passed on from one generation to the next in myths and legends, sung by wandering minstrels at the courts of the Counts, or recited to grandchildren at bedtime. These stories form the core of the Empire's identity as a nation. –Warhammer: The Empire, "Heroes of the Empire"
Each Battle Pack thus far released for The Capital Cycle has introduced a new Hero to the raging conflicts of Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game, and each has offered its race new tactical advantages.
From playing units for free and attacking from zones other than the battlefield to destroying Fortifications and returning developments to their owners' hands, the Heroes of The Capital Cycle work well both as the centerpieces of decks built around them and as powerful agents who lend their individual strength and abilities to decks with other focuses.
The Imperial Throne continues this theme, introducing Werner Ludenhof (The Imperial Throne, 104), a bold and industrious Hero willing to undertake the most perilous of quests in the name of the Empire.
Cards when you need them
A true man and trusted agent of the Empire, Werner Ludenhof specializes in uncovering his enemies' secrets and in discovering key tactical information. For just three resources and three loyalty cost (meaning he'll rarely see play on the first turn, but may often see play on the second), Werner Ludenhof offers three power while questing. This astonishing ratio of power to resource cost makes Werner Ludenhof a Hero you'll likely want to play early each game, in order to best accelerate your card draw. Thus, if you play him in your deck, you'll likely want to include a full three copies.
The many trials of Werner Ludenhof
Meanwhile, if you've ever needed to play a unit to your quest zone that you had intended to assign to a quest, only to draw your quest a turn too late, you'll appreciate Werner Ludenhof's unique ability to move onto a quest you control.
Normally, to assign a unit to a quest, you must first play the quest, then play the unit to the unoccupied quest. This means the order of the draw takes on a good degree of importance. You must draw and play the quest before the unit you wish to play to it. Certainly, you can draw another unit and play the second unit to the quest instead of the one you'd hoped to play, but if you're in danger of wearing through your draw deck, you may not want the extra power in your quest zone. Or you may simply need the second unit's power and hit points to bolster another zone, leaving you with no unit to assign to the quest.
Werner Ludenhof gives you a small degree of freedom from this standard order of play. Furthermore, he can move between quests. You could play him to a quest such as Forges of Nuln (Redemption of a Mage, 67) to lower the cost of your support cards and then shift him onto Protect the Empire (Arcane Fire, 5) when you need him to defend one of your zones. In fact, if Werner Ludenhof is anywhere on the table, he can simply take an action to Protect the Empire, moving from any zone onto the quest to lend his strength to the Empire's defense.
Destined for glory
As The Imperial Throne heralds the climactic conclusion of The Capital Cycle, we start to look forward to The Bloodquest Cycle, where Werner Ludenhof is likely to shine. Given the cycle's focus on quests and the powerful new Artefacts and other material rewards for completed quests, units like Werner Ludenhof, who excel in the quest zone, are likely to see a lot of play. Each player will have to choose whether he wants the ability to take a mulligan or if he wants his units to undertake a Heroic Task (Rising Dawn, 20) in order to gain immediate access to any one card set aside from his deck. Werner Ludenhof may not provide the answer, but he'll certainly factor into the decision.
Look for Werner Ludenhof to ride to the Empire's defense when The Imperial Throne releases later this month. Until then, share your comments on this and other Battle Packs from The Capital Cycle in our community forums.

You can almost hearing them ' tee-heeing' with laughter can't you ?
Hi There,
What is Happiness?
Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.
by Author Unknown
The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a Nursing Home today.
Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.
After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.
As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window. "I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
"Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room .... just wait."
"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged, it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away, just for this time in my life."
She went on to explain, "Old age is like a bank account, you withdraw from what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing."
And with a smile, she said:
"Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less."

Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with melt water and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form. When an iceberg falls into the lake, a layer of water can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe.
Cheers, Kate xxx.

Woman jailed in fraud caseFebruary 12,2014Woman is jailed
on fraud charge
A Rutland woman was jailed on $10,000 bail after denying charges Tuesday she tried to get money from a vulnerable adult.
Stephanie Baker, 27, returned to jail after denying a felony charge in Rutland criminal court that she violated an abuse prevention order when she allegedly contacted a member of her family and asked for money.
In October, Baker pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult. Court records state Baker used a family members credit card to rack up more than $7,000 in charges without the cardholders knowledge or permission.
Baker was ordered by the court to not contact the family member, but according to court records, Baker called the family member asking for money.
The family member, in turn, called police, records state, and Baker was jailed on $15,000 bail. During the arraignment, Judge Theresa DiMauro lowered bail to $10,000.
Baker is being held in Rutland jail, according to the Department of Corrections.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

The bottom line is that if Billick, and the coaching staff, thought they could help now, they would play them - after all, having the best players playing gives the team its best chance to win, which would be Billick's best chance of keeping his job, right? :eek:

Thing I love about New Orleans is that things are either great or they suck!
Let's be honest. Mothers does not have great po-boys. Or is it the worst on earth. The roast beef gravy/po-boy has little taste--which likely comes only from having to churn out the massive amounts to feed the patrons. Charming thing about NOLA is that everyone has their own favorite place-- and good for Mothers if they get the business--which is largely tourist-- if you doubt it, just talk to people in line.
I suspect many people who go there like the atmosphere--which can be fun (if you win the game of musical chairs and nab a seat). I took visitors there once and the woman behind the counter about to serve me stopped to concentrate on something happening in the Soap Opera she was watching on the restaurant TV, then started bellowing to someone " Turn up my Story, I can't hear it" .. before she conscientiously explained to us why a character on the soap she was watching was a bad man..
Funny Confession: worked in college as a Sports Intern for Buddy D at WDSU-TV back in the day- at a time when I knew little about sports (He and Ed Daniels once asked who was ahead in a golf tournament I was monitoring and of course, I told him the golfer with the highest score!) Buddy was exceedingly patient as I learned--but the one time I saw him get flustered: for a joke, we decided to switch the phone cords between the sports department extension (on which viewers would call for things like a high school football score) and Buddy's "straight line", the private phone line used by Buddy and his rumored "handicappers" (Best West Tess and the like). After the 4th phone call on his private line of a viewer wanting to know something like the Archbishop Shaw kick-off time, we thought his head would explode ("How da hell dese people get my privit numbah?"), we confessed and he was a good sport!
Truly, in an era when sports journalists can be accused of sucking up to their hometown teams --avoiding asking the tough questions, Buddy remained an advocate for the ticket paying fan pressing Saints management over lousy decisions--even when it risked his access to the team. Bravo Buddy

GLX broken - FreeBSD 6.2 RELEASE + 9631
I an running FreeBSD with a fully updated ports tree.
I was previously running xorg 6.9.0 with a manually installed version of 9631 and it worked fine. My card is a Geforce 4 MX 4000, which is why I have to run 96XX instead of 97XX
However, a week or two ago the version of xorg-server was increased from 6.9.0_5 to 6.9.0_6 and since then things have broken.
When I start xorg I get:

The North Warren Regional School District is home to just under 1100 students from the communities of Blairstown, Frelinghuysen, Hardwick, and Knowlton. The district stretches almost 97 square miles from the Sussex County border to the Delaware River and the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
As a grade 7-12 Regional District, our goal is to provide the best possible education to all our students. To accomplish this, our Board of Education has adopted four District Goals, which are outlined later in this document.
Academically, students in the seventh and eighth grades are team taught and follow a block schedule in a program designed to deliver core academic content, foster literacy, and provide exploratory experiences in the arts, technology, family and consumer science, and agriculture.
High school students follow a more traditional schedule that provides access to four levels of academic preparation coupled with a growing catalog of electives and Advance Placement (AP) courses. In 2012-2013, new courses will be added in AP Psychology, as well as in English, Visual Arts, and Business Education. New curriculum paths have been developed to allow more students to challenge themselves by taking honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses earlier in their high school careers. North Warren is also one of eight high schools in the state that piloted a Financial Literacy course that is now a graduation requirement for all high school students in New Jersey.
State assessment results from grades 7, 8, and 11 continue to demonstrate levels of achievement of the New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards as measured by the NJASK and HSPA. Approximately ninety percent of graduates attend two or four year colleges. Students from our school are often recognized by the College Board, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, and as AP Scholars. In 2012, eight North Warren students achieved AP Scholar, AP Scholar with Honor, or AP Scholar with Distinction designations, and were honored by the College Board as such.
In November 2010, New Jersey Monthly magazine designated North Warren Regional High School as one of the 10 Most Improved High Schools in the state, and recently, the same publication listed North Warren as the Number 1 High School in Warren County.
In addition to this comprehensive academic program, North Warren offers a strong co-curricular program that includes 24 sports and 30 clubs. Almost seventy percent of our students engage in some sort of after-school activity. North Warren students have won many awards in music, drama, visual arts, clubs, and athletics.
We are proud of our students and the outstanding level of community support offered by our community, either through booster groups, or through the cooperation of our local government officials in completing cooperative projects such as the expansion of our parking lots. The community also recently supported budgetary proposals that allowed the district to upgrade the roofing system, and will permit increased security for our school. We are currently engaged in the construction of a solar farm on the District property that will provide savings to our school for the next fifteen years, as well as establishing a greener footprint for our facility.
The district continues to work with the constituent cluster schools to find ways of sharing services and increasing fiscal efficiency and accountability, while offering an outstanding education to all students in our communities.

(AP) SAN DIEGO - Superman is coming back, and he may have a caped co-star.
"Man of Steel" director Zack Snyder announced Saturday at San Diego's Comic-Con that he was making another Superman film, then dropped a hint it may be with Batman.
He declined to reveal many details, saying the script is just being written, but he invited an actor onstage to read a passage to hint at the story line.
"I am the man who beat you," read Harry Lennox, before an image of the Superman logo, backed by the Batman symbol, flashed on the screen.

I live in the neighborhood and consider Penelope one of the best restaurants around that delivers, but the staff is so freakin' rude. They're arrogant and they act like you're a constant burden; whether you're trying to be seated, "standing in the way" while you're waiting for a table, or calling in for delivery, they're attitude towards you SUCKS. I'm sure not all of the staff is this way, but with the exception of a couple of the male bartenders, the staff is consistently my only issue with this place.
Posted by murrayhill foodie on 08/28/2011
I passed by this place for many years=the menu never tempted me to venture inside -wondering what the hoopla was all about. Apparently the 30 something singles, like a noisy place to eat/ gather =that serves pretty boring food... no surprises here but for ingredient change in pancakes. There aren't many generic restaurants in the neighborhood, so that must be the lure...as the place is located across the street from a church--no booze is served Oh, the eggs and sausages were ok
Posted by Abhi on 08/17/2011
Call me old-fashioned (for a 25 year-old) but if I come to a restaurant that's packed with people at 11 am on a Monday, I'd expect the place to be somewhat respectable. The food and decor were solid, typifying a nice little brunch place one would expect to find on the east side. However, it is nothing remarkable, nor is it worth any wait at all. What really irked me was the shoddy service, especially given the fact that the restaurant was slightly above average at best. People, if you work at a restaurant and serve others, part of your job description includes some sort of courtesy and politeness. Why is this a lost art? The staff who served us at this restaurant acted as if we didn't even have the right to be served, let alone eat at the restaurant. I ordered a penny sausage sandwich (or something like that). 15 minutes after I ordered I was asked what type of bread I had requested. 20 minutes after that I was told that there were no croissants left and that I'd have to choose another bread. Another 10 minutes go by as we watch tables around us being served plates. This wouldn't have bothered me except for the fact that these parties had all arrived after we placed our order. Considering it was only my girlfriend and I ordering two dishes, this definitely pissed me off. Then, I noticed that those same tables around me were being served dishes which had big, fat, delicious (looking) croissants. I was pretty irate. When asked about what happened to our meals, the waiter offered no apology. This place definitely lacks in service, friendliness, class, and honesty. Will never come back.

This place is the cutest place for a casual weeknight dinner. Great food and very reasonable prices! One of my favorite places in this big city!

I absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is very cozy and nice with delicious and cheap food. The service is not the best but it's good enough.

The wait staff is way too arrogant for a subpar restaurant. My friends and I went for Sunday brunch, and waited nearly 2 hours for a table. We got passed once because the group before us left and suddenly came back. Shouldn't it be first come first serve; if you miss your chance, back of the line you go? Why should we wait an additional 30 minutes because you decided to go out shopping? After we lost our table, we asked the hostess several times what's the hold up. During the second time my friend asked, the hostess walked away and just ignored her. We didn't get seated until 3pm and the food was just as poor as the service! I had the worst French toast ever. The baguette was chewy, and I could barely cut it with my knife. The portion was small, and the orange juice that came with the prix fixe menu was warm! At $14.95, this was voted as best cheap eats, but I still thought it was overpriced. I can spend the same amount elsewhere and receive better service and food. This place is completely overrated, rowdy, and rude.
Posted by GB on 10/20/2010
Best brunch in Murray Hill; cozy, cute place; but the dinner menu is extremely limited. I don't understand why Penelope doesn't add more large plate items. Until then, I'll stick to the brunch.

Marvel's "Jessica Jones" Will Go "All the Way Dark," Promise Rosenberg & Loeb
After a period of screenings at festivals and conventions, the Judge Dredd fan film Judge Minty has finally been released in full online. Packed with Easter eggs for long-term 2000AD fans, it proves that these days it would be entirely feasible to produce an authentic and faithful version of the futuristic lawman on a small-screen budget. As much as I enjoyed last year's Dredd 3D, it's hard not to watch this short and list the things that this production did better. For starters, this budget effort manages to properly get the Lawmaster bike, a street judge's preferred form of transport, something the Stallone and Urban films got wrong in their different ways.
I've been writing about the Judge Minty short film since 2010, when after seeing the first teaser trailer I made the observation "these days Judge Dredd would be totally do-able on a BBC budget." I still haven't managed to see the bloomin' thing yet, despite it becoming a U.K. comic convention staple since it premiered at the Leeds Film Festival last November.
Well, the wait is nearly over, as the production team has announced that it'll soon be free to view on YouTube and Vimeo, without giving us an actual date yet ("in April/May" they vaguely state, the teasing sods). They've released a new extended trailer for the project to whet our appetites.
One thing this trailer adds is some great music. I'm no soundtrack expert, so for all I know it might be borrowed from elsewhere, but I do know that it reminds me of Jerry Goldsmith's avant garde score for the original Planet of the Apes. And I still think that with a little ambition and imagination, Judge Dredd could work better on TV than in films.
Judge Dredd fans have another cinematic version of their favorite antihero to look forward to (no, there hasn't been a last-minute, sequel-saving, boost to the box-office haul of Dredd 3D). The short fan film Judge Minty, which has had a production period running almost parallel to the official movie, has announced it is to premiere at the Leeds Film Festival on Nov. 12, with a second showing at the Leeds Thought Bubble comics festival Nov. 18.
The movie has plenty of close links to the comic and its fandom: Dredd is played in the film by artist Greg Staples, and the script was written by regular 2000AD contributor Michael Carroll, adapting a classic John Wagner and Mick McMahon story. The teaser trailer, which has been doing the rounds for more two years now, shows that it is tantalizingly possible to do an incredibly faithful live-action Judge Dredd on a television budget. Make it so, BBC/HBO commissioning bods!
