2 cups
white sugar
1 cup
vegetable oil
2 teaspoons
coconut extract
3 cups
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
1 cup
1 cup
shredded coconut
I obtained this recipe over 25 years ago from a neighbor in Utah...her version includes a glaze, that I think makes all the difference. Glaze: 1 cup of sugar 1/2 cup water 2 Tbsp. Butter 1 tsp. coconut flavoring For Glaze, combine sugar, water and butter; bring to a boil. Add coconut flavoring. Pour hot glaze over top of loaves while still they are still warm. Let sit in pans 4 hours before removing. Also the oven temp should be 325 degrees. This recipe does make 2 regular loaf pans(bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes) or 3 small loaf pans (bake 55 to 60 minutes) and a bundt pan will hold this recipe. We just love this bread toasted and buttered.
12/23/04: Very tasty but I am wondering if the oven temperature stated (375 degrees?) is a typo. I baked the loaves for the stated time and temperature and the middle of the loaves were very raw...ended up baking it for another half hour. Crust was burned but the center was salvagable. I will try this just one more time before admitting defeat.**UPDATE**I made this once more and was disappointed again. Tasty but other recipes are easier.

This is a good recipe, however it makes TWO 9x5 loaf pans, not one. I have made it several times and shared the recipe with many people. It turns out very well by replacing the 1 c oil with 1/2 c oil and 1/2 c applesauce or by omitting the oil all together and using 1 c applesauce (unsweetened). It's a chewier texture, but very good if you're looking to cut some calories.
Thank you so much Susan, for posting this unusual and unusually easy recipe! I baked the batter into "muffin" form, versus a loaf, with a change in the baking time. Most muffin recipes that fit into my "Texas" pan, call for 2 cups of flour, so this kooky cook, made 2/3 of your recipe. They were delicious. I thought these muffins would rise high, so I used Pam sprayed "skirts" to rest on top of each muffin hole. By skirts, I mean old canned tuna or pineapple tins that I've removed both sides of the lids, and use just for muffins. Superb chewy, dense textured muffins, with a big cocoanut flavor. Keep on cooking and posting Susan!
Best wishes,
This recipe is absolutely divine! Easy to make and more delectable to eat. The coconut flavor is so perfect. The bread is like a pound cake. I will make this again and again. Thank you for posting this.
Just made these for the first time. I made them in a mini-muffin pan for an upcoming family reunion Memorial Week-end. They turned out great (all 88 of them). I baked them at 350 for about 10 to 12 minutes. I plan to freeze them til the reunion and and then put a light coconut glaze on them. They were very easy to make and didn't take up alot of time. (If some of you didn't know, there is a product on the market called Cultured Buttermilk Blend put out by Saco, so you can make just the amount of buttermilk you need instead of having to buy a whole quart of fresh buttermilk) Thanks for the recipe Susan...I'm sure I'll be making these little gems often.
Very moist - perfect with coffee. I used vanilla extract because there was no coconut extract, still good.
The recipe definitely makes two, not one loaf. Also, I think that 375 is too high. I noticed the edges getting way too brown about half way through cooking and bumped the oven down to 350. Keeping the oven at 350 for the whole time would make for better bread, I think. My boyfriend is from Guatemala and keeps talking about coconut bread. It's excellent toasted with melted butter for breakfast. Would definitely make it again.

Shelter Build Update
One of our most exciting projects is building a shelter for survivors in Jalpaiguri, Northeast India, in partnership with Women's Interlink Foundation. Jalpaiguri is a remote provincial city near Darjeeling. There are very few resources there to combat trafficking, and many young girls are in urgent need of safe housing. Over the past three years, we have raised and sent $150,000 to construct a shelter home in Jalpaiguri and $50,000 to set up a vocational training program and school sponsorships as well as to rent temporary housing while the shelter has been under construction.
We now need to raise another $20,000 e to fulfill our commitment and finish interior construction and furnishing the space. We hope and expect that survivors will be able to move in to the new shelter by the end of 2014. Click here to donate and help build a home for survivors.
Click here for photos of the construction and more details
Jalpaiguri is a high trafficking region near the borders of India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan. The tea industry, which was once the main source of income in the area, has become unstable, causing severe poverty and conditions ripe for trafficking.This region has no other anti-trafficking services available, and the new center will provide a safety net for the whole region – a place where anyone who has been trafficked, or is in danger in the area can come for help.
The shelter exterior is now complete and we look forward to dedicating it in early September 2014, with Mrs. Aloka Mitra, President of our partner organization Women's Interlink Foundation which will be managing the shelter.

Auto Shelters
Vehicle owners who do not have access to a traditional garage have another option for protecting their vehicles from the elements. An auto shelter at A1 Tarps provides a low-cost alternative to building an attached garage. Portable car shelters can protect cars, motorcycles, boats and seasonal vehicles from sunlight, rain, snow and other elements that can damage vehicles. Automobile shelters from A1 Tarps are made from a galvanized steel frame and a polyethylene cover that has been treated to be UV resistant and is waterproof, mildew resistant and rot proof.
The covers on our auto shelters also have been made in a valance style to keep moisture and UV rays away from vehicles. Our smallest shelter is large enough to contain cars and small SUVs while the largest portable automobile shelter can easily house multiple large vehicles, boats and trailers. Portable automobile shelters are good when used as a garage for everyday use but they excel when used as a long-term storage solution, such as storing your boat in the winter.
When it comes to your car, why skimp on protection? Yet, opting for dependability shouldn't mean a high price comes with a garage. Our auto shelters, characterized by an enclosed, peaked style, provide such a combination. Keeping out moisture and UV rays and preventing mildew and dry rot from forming on your investment, our car storage shelters include all parts for setup, eliminate purchasing outside materials and drawing up blueprints, and are built to last.
A powder-coated or galvanized steel frame forms the foundation of each car shelter. Once anchored fully into the ground, the steel withstands a wide range of weather conditions. The polyethylene cover, on all sides of the shelter, rounds out the structure's protective properties. Treated to be UV resistant, waterproof, mildew resistant, and rot proof, the cover essentially blocks elements that wear down and ultimately shorten the lifespan of your investment.
From single cars used every day to RVs and boats effectively stored for several months at a time, our auto shelters present many storage possibilities. Through A1 Tarps, find auto shelters in a wide range of sizes for temporary and long-term storage.

Week 8: Sit 'Em
QB Tom Brady, NE
No longer a lock to be an every week fantasy starter, Tom Brady faces the Miami Dolphins this week. Brady has struggled to live up to his fantasy draft position so far this season, eclipsing 300 passing yards just once on the season. Brady has struggled to connect with his new wide receivers, but should see an increase in production now that Rob Gronkowski has returned. While I would not sit Brady on fantasy benches in all situations, I can definitely see leaving him on the bench if you have another decent option this week.
QB Andy Dalton, CIN
With 710 yards and six touchdowns over the past two games, Andy Dalton has ascended to borderline QB 1 status in fantasy leagues. I would not expect Dalton's success to continue this week as the Bengals face off with the New York Jets. The Jets currently rank ninth is the league against the pass, allowing just 225 passing yards per game. They held Tom Brady to 228 yards and no touchdowns last week, and I would advise fantasy owners to tread lightly in starting Dalton this week.
RB Lamar Miller, MIA
The struggling running back will have a hard time getting his season straightened out if the Dolphins continue to split touches between him and Daniel Thomas. Miller has looked to be the better player, but Miami seems intent on using both running backs, with Miller playing 33 snaps in week seven as opposed to Thomas' 29 snaps. Miller touched the ball ten times in week seven - totaling just 47 yards - while being held out of the endzone for the second straight week. Miami's opponent this week - the Patriots - have been poor against the run this season, but Miller still can not be counted on as a starter in fantasy leagues this week.
RB DeAngelo Williams, PIT
DeAngelo Williams had the opportunity to stake his claim as the Panthers' number one running back with Jonathan Stewart out, but has failed to impress through the first six games of the season. After rushing for at least 85 yards in each of the first three games of the season, Williams has turned in games of 39, 64, and 40 rushing yards in the next three games. The Panthers used Mike Tolbert at the goal-line and for 13 carries in week seven, a bad sign for Williams and his fantasy owners. Williams can not be started with any confidence in fantasy leagues this week against the Buccaneers and their 5th ranked rush defense.
WR Dwayne Bowe, CLE
Another highly paid / under performing wide receiver, Dwayne Bowe has struggled to get anything going this season - despite the Chiefs' 7-0 start. Bowe caught five passes for 66 yards in week seven, both season highs for the former Pro Bowl wide receiver. Fantasy owners should not see this as the beginning of a good streak for Bowe, as he faces off with Joe Haden and the Cleveland Browns this week. Haden has been shadowing opponents' number one wide receivers all season and has been getting the best of some of the league's top wide receivers. This week should be no different, and fantasy owners should look elsewhere for a WR 3 this week.

(CNN) -- With oil peaking at $100 a barrel, the world energy crisis continues to push countries to develop alternatives to handle depleting fossil fuel sources.
Solar, wind and hydro power have long dominated the alternative energy scene, but recent research has shown that electricity can be harnessed from anything ranging from algae to food leftovers.
This week's Eco Solutions showcased how South Korea was using biogas technology which makes electricity from animal waste. In short, it seems that electricity can be produced from a plethora of sources.

All-Lowcountry tennis performers Joel Roberts and Adam Elliget formed quite a 1-2 punch last year for Pinewood Prep. As a result, the Panthers were one of the top teams in all of SCISA.
But half of the tandem is missing as Pinewood Prep prepares for another season. Elliget has opted for home-schooling. Only a sophomore, Elliget is a two-time All-Lowcountry selection, just like senior Roberts.
The move appears to already be working as Elliget polishes his resume for college tennis. He won the boys 16 crown in a USTA Regional in Mobile, Ala., last weekend.
Cyclones challenged
Defending Class AAA SCISA boys champion Porter-Gaud appears to have its work cut out for it this season. Perennial finalist Hilton Head Prep and 2012 runner-up Hilton Head Christian still have a direct line to the island's nationally prominent tennis academies. The two Hilton Head schools just restock from the Smith/Stearns and van Der Meer academies when their star players advance to college tennis or move back home.
Christian lost No. 1 Nick Bybel to Bucknell, but 2012 teammate Hampton Drake is the No. 1 boys 16 player in the state. Also, Hilton Head Prep senior standout Andrew Schafer already has signed with South Carolina.
But Porter-Gaud has an ace newcomer itself in left-handed seventh-grader Bryant Fenno, who styles his game after Rafa Nadal with huge topspin. Coach Tom Higgins expects Fenno to be in the starting lineup. Fenno has the potential to have an instant impact on the Cyclones' title defense.
Reigning Lowcountry player of the year Thomas Spratt leads the way for the Cyclones, who are missing only Nos. 2 and 3 Junior Duarte and Hunter Mitchell from the lineup that won the 2012 state title.
Navarro, Mendez No. 1
Earl Navarro in boys 12 and Matthew Mendez in boys 18 are the area's only top-ranked players in the final 2012 state rankings.
Also in boys 12, Brant Fenno is ranked third and Sam Kavarana is ninth. In boys 14, Jared Pratt is third and Scotty Cameron is fifth. Alex Santiago is fourth in boys 16, followed by Adam Elliget at No. 5 and Palmetto Christian star Austin Heinz at No. 9. Thomas Spratt is fifth in boys 18, while Joel Roberts is No. 8.
In the girls rankings, Emma Navarro is second in 12-and-under, followed by Lillian Conant at No. 9. Porter-Gaud standout Ann Martin Skelly is fifth in girls 14. In girls 18, area resident Anna Kate Anderson is rated second, while Ashley Hall's Lowcountry player of the year Narni Summerall is fourth, and Catherine Martin is No. 7.
In the small-court 10-and-under rankings, Zachary Dacuba is fifth in boys, followed by No. 6 Stanley Waters and No. 10 Elliott Eischeid. In girls 10, Anna Golding is No. 2, followed by No. 6 Ava Middour and No. 9 Anna Thornton.
Charleston County School District Superintendent Nancy McGinley has been named tennis advocate of the year by Racquet Sports Industry magazine.
Anna Kate Anderson, whose family resides in Wild Dunes while she trains with Wild Dunes tennis director Charly Rasheed and LTP pro Martin Zumpft, has committed to SMU. Online-schooled, she finished 2012 ranked 11th in the South and No. 2 in the state in girls 18.

Theres no way North Brunswick is better than Eastern, regardless of their win streak. I've seen Eastern play and they are a very good team and could potentially win Group IV. They routed Paul VI and they could wind up winning Parochial South A. They are a pretty tall team and have good balance. You could make the argument that they are better than Columbia. Columbia always chokes in the state tournament. I think like 5 of the last 6 years they've been either a 3 or 4 seed and gotten knocked out by the 2nd round so until they prove differently I'd drop them lower. And Hackensack plays a tough schedule and has a good record so they're fine where they are but there's no way that North Brunswick is better than Eastern.
Not so fast this year, while I do believe Ants should get there, Pats has anything but an easy road and I feel rc, Trenton catholic or maybemccarrick can give them a game. This is far from a slam dunk this yr especially with gill good as well
Good move. ESPN did a very good job of coverage this year and I'm sure will do a good job in expanding their coverage next year. Hopefully they don't screw up the announcers though. Darren Cahill, Patrick McEnroe, Cliff Drysdale in particular are phemononal. Cahill is a very underrated analyst and knows his stuff pretty well. Patrick McEnroe is a good X's and O's guy and knows the game inside and out too.
Hi Josh, it's Dan from St. Joe's. Smith has our game vs. Monsignor Donovan listed at 2 on Friday at highschoolsports.net. I wonder why they're playing a little earlier, maybe to get more rest for Saturday's game if we win tomorrow. Because I'm pretty sure graduation is Thursday night...maybe just to get a head start for MDW. Thought I'd let you know though so you can update our game time.
JFK at Middlesex playing in Flemington is a joke, just postpone it. Middlesex has had a decent season and is deserving of a home game and not have to travel 45 mins 3 counties over for a playoff game. It's ridiculous. It's like Brick and one of the TR schools playing a playoff game near Atlantic City.
Joes/Hudson Catholic is off for today. Game will be played tomorrow (12/20) at 3pm.

Obama Took the Risk to Confront Race Relations in America
Professor Richard Thompson Ford wrote a San Francisco Chronicle op-ed about Senator Barack Obama's March 18 speech about race in America:
Last week, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama made explicit the implicit promise of his campaign: that he is uniquely positioned to bridge the nation's ideological divisions, in part because he is uniquely positioned to bridge the nation's racial divisions.
His speech explaining his relationship with the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright was characteristically inspiring, but more importantly, it was a blunt and honest assessment of modern race relations. Racial injustices have generated understandable, if often misdirected, anger on the part of blacks, and the attempts to remedy those injustices have generated understandable, if often exaggerated, resentment among whites.
Race relations have devolved into a tit for tat of racial scandal, accusation and defensiveness ("You're a racist." "No, I'm not. You're just playing the race card."). Obama skillfully put Rev. Wright's comments in this context and explained his refusal to repudiate Wright as a refusal to ignore the legitimate grievances that inspired Wright's anger.
This was a gutsy move: It's possible that much of Obama's support among white voters came from people who saw Obama's candidacy as a free pass on racial justice issues. Instead of a free pass, Obama offers an arduous path, slogging through our unresolved racial anxieties. But he does offer a way through. Evoking the real progress toward racial justice this nation has made in the past, he insists that we can continue to improve if we are willing to engage each other and work though our irrational prejudices and anxieties...

The Vampire Diaries
Will Elena's Plan From Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 11 Work?
Spoilers below!
It's become a bit of a thing to mock Elena's (Nina Dobrev) decisions on The Vampire Diaries. "You know what else is her call? Everything bad ever," Damon (Ian Somerhalder) once said about his girl. But in Season 4, Episode 11, "Catch Me If You Can," the new vamp seems to have hit on something.
Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) acted like a bit of a diva, compelling Damon to kill Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and threatening to stake his sister. It's no wonder Elena decided to be rid of Kol once and for all — though she probably wouldn't mind if he took Rebekah (Claire Holt) with him.
Since they need Jeremy to grow his mark to find the cure, Elena decided that the best way to kill enough vampires would be to wipe thousands out in one blow: by doing in an Original. Kol was top of her list thanks to that nasty compulsion bit he pulled with Damon.
Because the death of an Original also kills off everyone he's sired and everyone they've sired and so on, Jer would effectively murder tons of bloodsuckers if he fatally staked Kol. Right? Sometimes the witchy juju gets complicated, so we'll see if Elena's logic works.
Now, how they're going to actually capture and kill Kol. That's a whole other ballgame.
So do you think everything will go as planned?

By Larry LangSpecial to American Forces Press Service
SOTO CANO AIR BASE, Honduras, Dec. 16, 1998 U.S. troops here were among the first to aid storm victims when Hurricane Mitch hit in November. Now that the initial emergency is under control, they've shifted their attention to the future of Central America.
That future includes the region's children, and one closely involved person is Dr. (Maj.) James McLane, a pediatrician from Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas. He recently participated in a medical readiness exercise here with a Wyoming Air National Guard unit and is working with the Joint Task Force-Bravo medical element.
"I was sent down here for the hurricane relief effort. It just makes sense to have a pediatrician here," McLane said. He estimated about 70 percent of the medics' patients have been children and pregnant women.
According to McLane, they are trying to see as many kids as possible and to sort out those who require more guarded care. "We try to focus on who needs to be referred to the Ministry of Health -- cases such as malaria, pneumonia or malnutrition," he said.
For McLane, the professional challenge of being the only pediatrician with MEDEL is the lack of follow-up care. "I don't know if the patient gets better or if they don't," he said. "They don't get routine checkups. It's remarkable they actually grow up healthy."
In addition to treating young patients, he also trains medic Pfc. Antonio Cartagena, a medic with the medical element. "This is the first time I've traveled to a Third World country, and the experience has been great. I get to see many types of cases I wouldn't have in a hospital setting," Cartagena said.
"I'm teaching him how to be the eyes and ears for the doctors and how to use his resources to assist the doctors," McLane said. "He's learning how to assess patients and send the information needed back to the doctors in order to help them."
McLane sees 60 to 100 patients a day.
"This is why I stay in the Army. If I were a civilian doctor, I would be making a lot more money, but I'd never see cases like this," he said.
[Larry Lang is assigned to the Joint Task Force-Bravo Public Affairs Office.]

Not going to happen: "Specifically, the smartest thing Obama could do in replacing outgoing Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel would be to pick an outsider who can address some of the obvious weaknesses his administration has. … It is critically important that Emanuel's replacement have strong ties to the business community, a history of good relations with both parties in Congress, and the independence and integrity to be able to tell the president 'no' when he is wrong."
Not going to be a good Election Day for Virginia Democrats. Three of the four at-risk House Democrats trail GOP challengers, two by double digits. The fourth Republican trails narrowly.
Not close: "Republican Marco Rubio continues to hold an 11-point lead over independent candidate Charlie Crist in Florida's race for the U.S. Senate. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Florida finds Rubio with 41% support, while Crist, the state's current governor, picks up 30% of the vote. Democrat Kendrick Meek comes in third with 21%."
Not even handpicked audiences like him. In Iowa: "Holding the latest in a series of backyard meetings with middle-class voters, Obama heard one small businessman's fears that his tax plans could 'strangle' job creation. The president also fielded concerns about high unemployment and the impact of his healthcare overhaul. It was a marked contrast to the enthusiastic university crowd that greeted Obama on Tuesday in Wisconsin when he sought to fire up his youthful base of support, and showed the obstacles his Democratic Party faces in the Nov. 2 elections."
Not only Sen. Joe Lieberman is calling for Obama to get tough on Iran: "Barack Obama's policy to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability is under pressure from members of Congress, who argue that Washington should make clear it will consider military action unless sanctions yield swift results. … Howard Berman, the Democratic chairman of the House of Representatives foreign affairs committee, said recently the administration had 'months, not years' to make sanctions work. He added that military action was preferable to accepting an Iran with nuclear weapons capability."
Not encouraging: "One of the most remarkable aspects of Bob Woodward's new book, 'Obama's Wars,' is its portrait of a White House that has all but resigned itself to failure in Afghanistan." In fact, it is reprehensible for the commander in chief to order young Americans into war without confidence and commitment in their mission.
Not a fan. David Brooks on Alaska's Sen. Lisa Murkowski: "I can't imagine what Murkowski is thinking. The lady must have too many admiring conversations with the mirrors in her house." Ouch.
Not a vote of confidence from one of Soros Street's more sympathetic observers: "Will J Street even be around in its current form in coming days, now that it is enveloped in a scandal (more of a cover-up than a crime, in the traditional Washington style)?"

I've been away from the game since the holidays due to what I will politely refer to as technical difficulties. (I have a variety of impolite terms for it too, but this is a family blog.) During that time, I've watched the game from the sidelines and have grown bored enough to do some maintenance on stuff that usually gets ignored until I'm rooting through it in a hurry. Add-ons were updated, dead blog links were sent to their folder, interesting ones were added, and then I turned to my collection of bookmarks in order to prune there as well.
I have a pretty sizable cache of druid or druid-related links that's grown over the years, and a lot of them are still pretty interesting. In the absence of the ability to talk about what's actually happening in the game with any fluency, I thought it might make a decent stopgap Shifting. This is a selection that's kept me absorbed for many an hour on a snowy weekend, and it ranges from comparisons between druid and warrior tanks in the classic game to where you fall on a healer's priority list when you're a jackass.
While we have constant tree form back in the game as Glyph of the Treant, unfortunately we now lack Thorns and the pick-and-mix talent system that made the "Tree DPS" spec possible. Oh, progress.
In the unlikely event that another DPS pulls the mob off of you, simply shift to bear, Growl, and shift back to tree form. However, you should kindly point out to your fellow raid members that having to do this several times during the fight will greatly diminish your DPS.
TBC druid tank report at Elitist Jerks This was written in the early part of the Burning Crusade expansion. It's not among EJ's official guides and it shows, but I bookmarked it after realizing it was among the earliest things written about bear tanks in the BC era. The writer touched on a lot of issues that would go on to become a Very Big Deal later in both the expansion and Wrath.
Other blast-from-the-past entries from EJ:
- Warrior vs. Druid Tanks A classic-era question over druid tank viability. A valuable thread to read anytime you feel like bitching about the current state of the game.
- So Druid and Paladin tanking ... Another early BC thread noticing the rise of druid and paladin tanks with a shaky future for them in itemization. The first 6 months of BC saw a lot of quarreling over where each tank stood in relation to the others.
- [Feral Druid] Threat Generation Questions The first few months of BC saw warrior, druid, and paladin tanks sent into Karazhan versus thousands of undead. Thunder Clap hit three mobs. All of the undead were immune to druid bleeds. Paladins had a very different experience.
Must Tova An excellent bear blog that will turn one year old on the 26th. Happy birthday, Tova!
Alysandir's comment on healing priority I've kicked around the idea of doing a series on the best comments that WoW Insider's ever gotten, and this is among the many I've set aside for that purpose. Alysandir carefully explains how your behavior impacts where you stand on a healer's priority list, and what may come before you.
wow_ladies: What is this mod? + Valithria tips (NB: You'll need a LiveJournal account and access to wow_ladies in order to read the full thread, but I'll summarize it here.) This was my first introduction to the wonders of Tidy Plates (still going strong three years later!) and a pretty representative strategy discussion of how to handle Valithria Dreamwalker on 10-man. While resto druids had a good chance of stomping the meters on the average Icecrown Citadel fight, they were often assigned to "outside the portal" healing on Valithria due to other healers' more efficient single-target throughput.
A WarcraftSues Glossary This really doesn't have anything to do with druids, but it's funny. A cynical collection of RP community terms for behaviors they would rather not see.
Arena Junkies MS paint rage thread A collection of disgruntled arena players vents through lolcats and MS paint pieces. As you'd expect, many of these are NSFW, but the thread is still going strong four years later.
Achtung Panzercow's guide to the first ten seconds Still as true now as it was when it was written. Early problems in a pull do not magically go away -- they usually just get worse.
The Wayward Initiative's Wait for it ... How to know when it's okay to start DPSing by watching for graphics that indicate a tank has used an AOE effect. Someone should probably write an updated version for monk tanks. I had been playing a druid since 2007 and I am genuinely ashamed to admit this was literally the first time I realized that Swipe briefly turns its targets red.
SiaKim's gallery I was going to link only to the cat form piece and then realized that I should share the wealth with people who aren't druids.
Miirkat's YouTube channel A feral gladiator's commentary videos.
Esports News: The real reason esports can't go mainstream anytime soon On that note, a really pointed observation from WiNGSPANTT: Gamers have a tendency to be jerks to anyone commenting on a game who doesn't have the "street cred" held by high-profile players. That's a dick move all on its own, but it actively harms the growth of e-sports. Here's where the hammer falls:
Sunnier's Art of War: The death of the bearcat The hybrid bear-cat playstyle that had existed from the beginning of the game (well, sort of ... we can't really argue that cat DPS was truly viable until Wrath at the earliest) was safely dead as of the Mists of Pandaria content patch.
Simply put, e-sports will never become mainstream unless the competitive gaming community can get over itself and open a dialog with lower level players, hobbyists, and unskilled spectators. The average baseball fan can't throw a curveball. The average NASCAR fan would s*** himself if he drove over 140 mph ... Yet despite the fanbases of these sports being almost universally non-competitive (or even non-participating) audience members, sports are incredibly popular, if you haven't realized. Maybe part of that is that they've been around longer, but I'd bet part of it is that the average viewer is allowed to share his or her opinion without getting publicly humiliated by everyone in hearing distance.
Desertwalker Cane Something I bookmarked to include in a future transmogrification piece for anyone who wanted something a little more substantial as an offhand.
Restokin: Druid Healer Survey results, part one and part two Lissanna ran a survey on the druid forums in advance of patch 3.3 asking resto players to weigh in on on spell choices and what they anticipated in the patch. It's a pretty representative look at what resto players were doing before Icecrown Citadel, which was mostly a lot of Rejuvenation and Wild Growth.
Shifting Perspectives: Bear and Resto Edition takes a peek at healer balance in Dragon Soul, discovers why bears and PvP gear are a pretty good mix, lends advice on gearing up to hit the Raid Finder, and helps you level a druid in the Cataclysm era.

Winfield boys soccer player awarded Gamer of the Week
Teays Physical Therapy Center, Inc. & the Putnam Herald are pleased to present this week's Gamer of the Week Award to Preston Sheldon of Winfield High School.
Head Coach Mike Foster couldn't be more proud of his Winfield High boys soccer team this year.
"This is an excellent group of young men and I can't say enough about them. Their work effort is very good and they've bought into our conditioning and substitutions," said Foster.
Senior leader and captain Preston Sheldon is a huge contributor on the team and is a big reason they are sitting pretty with a 12-1-2 record on the season.
"He has energy beyond belief and he can just run forever. Preston has been a really good team player this year with a ton of assists to teammate Steven Taylor," Foster said. "Preston has had to adjust his play this year now that teams are starting to key in on the forward's scoring prowess. He has to pass the ball a whole lot more. Even with that being said he has 12 goals in almost as many games and is having the senior season he deserves, given all the work he put into the off-season. Preston is a great leader. He leads by example on and off the field and never quits whether we are ahead or behind," said Coach Foster.
When asked why they have been so successful this year Preston answered, "Our coaches really got us into shape at the beginning of the season and it has paid off in a big way. It caused us to come together as a team and work together in everything we do."
Preston truly is a leader both on and off the field. He has a 3.8 GPA and a laundry list of extracurricular activities including: cross country, track, FBLA, NHS, Young Life, Link Crew, and is a student leader in his youth group at River Ridge Church.
When asked about his motivation and inspirations in life, Preston answered, "I give all the glory to God. With Him I can do all things. My parents have also really helped and encouraged me. Whether I have been injured or down on myself, they are always there to pick me up. I also just want to add that this is a great team; we are truly brothers. This has been an awesome season and I just want to thank all my teammates and my coaches for everything they have done."
Please look for other local area high school athletes to be named next weeks Gamer of the Week sponsored by Teays Physical Therapy Center, Inc. and the Putnam Herald.
Matt Smith, MS, ATC, CSCS, is the Potential PLUS Program Director at Teays Physical Therapy Center, Inc.

Vlotwatering Bridge
Type: Bridge Location: Monster, The Netherlands Client: Municipality of Westland Floor area / size: 25 mtr Construction: Pieters Bouwtechniek Haarlem (Frank Meijer, advisor) Special thanks to: Advisor ecology: Zoogdiervereniging (Herman Limpens) Start building: March 2015 Completion: December 2015 Status: Under construction
2015-06-02 Bat Bridge with roosts built in concrete structure to be completed before winter 2015-03-05 Start construction of BAT bridge
The Bat bridge is designed to house bats in as many ways as possible. In the design we figured out that we could use the specific qualities of the mass of the concrete, the height of the construction within the deck and the railings for pedestrians and bicycles for bats as well. These spaces provide unique opportunities to house bats.
The construction consists of a concrete arch which spans 25 meters. The mass of the concrete provides a stable and pleasant climate for bats. The bridge has three specific bridge components that provide roost for different bat species. At the north side the abutment functions as a winter stay. The deck and the brick balustrade accommodate stays for bats during the summer. The bridge design is intended to constitute the ideal habitat for various species of bats, so that a large colony will grow around the bridge.
Bicycle bridge Utrecht
Type: Bicycle bridge, public park and school Location: Oog in Al, Utrecht / NL Client: Municipality of Utrecht Collaborator / associate: Rudy Uytenhaak Architects Floor area / size: span 110 mtr
2015-05-27 Official Launch building phase
At the border of the district 'Oog in Al in Utrecht, the Netherlands, a bicycle bridge will arise over the Amsterdam Rijn canal, connecting the old inner city with the new district Leidsche Rijn. The bridge, 7 meters high, creates a unique shed to study under. In this design the landing of the bridge is combined with the development of the Montessori school at the Victor Hugo park.
In one fluent movement the bicycle route, park and school are joined together in a coherent infrastructure, building and landscape. The design challenges all the involved designers to intensely collaborate and clearly tune into each other.
The bicycle bridge, being positioned on the south side, creates space on the north side for a recreational area. The school and recreational area orientate towards the park. This is made possible by making the east side of the school, under the bridge, more narrow. The result is a private recreational area attached to the public park and an apparent, natural entrance in continuation of the street. The wide side of the school at the water complements the park and creates a safe enclosed space for the school children to play.
The roof garden is an essential element between the different programmes. The garden is a continuation of the green environment on the roof, it offers extra space for the school to enjoy and creates a natural distance between the school and the cyclist.
In a wide angle cyclist are lifted up from the park, guided around the perma culture garden on the roof of the gym of the school, and lead through the trees, with a panoramic view over the canal. Flanked by water, the cyclist rides between an interweaving design of cables toward a lean gateway to safely land in Leidsche Rijn.
Anacostia Landing
Type: Bridge Park Location: Washington DC | USA Client: Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus (THEARC) Competition: 11th Street Bridge Park
2014-07-01 WRT Design & NEXT architects joint team present their ideas for DCBridgePark 2014-05-28 11th street bridge Finalist!
Anacostia Landing is a 25-acre park centered on the Anacostia River, gateway to historic Anacostia and extraordinary perch from which to view the District of Columbia's emergence as a waterfront city. Together with Wallace Roberts and Todd NEXT created Anacostia Landing for the 11th street Bridge Park in Washington DC.
The existing 11th Street Bridge's multipurpose trail already provides a very adequate pedestrian and high speed bike route between Capitol Hill and Anacostia. Anacostia Landing supplements this existing connection with a different and engaging experience emphasizing congregation, education, and play.
The River Balcony stands as a singular element, seemingly floating in space and attached to the 11th Street Bridge by three narrow points of connection. Perched 30 feet above the river, the balcony contains a children's play garden, a skim pool, a stepped amphitheater, and a three-story community and education center.
The billowy canopy above will be an eye-catcher, yet, like a noble and grand old tree, it fulfills multiple and vital needs: providing shade, funneling prevailing breezes, supporting greenery and solar panels, framing public art, and creating the setting for gatherings, frolic, and play. As the centerpiece of the design, the River Balcony will stand as a symbol of creative sustainability, contributing to Anacostia Landing becoming a 21st Century model of ecological place-making.
Dragon King Kong Bridge
Type: pedestrian bridge Location: Changsha Meixi Lake District, China Client: Changsha Meixi Lake Industrial Co. Ltd Team: Bart Reuser, Marijn Schenk, Michel Schreinemachers, John van de Water, Jiang Xiaofei, Luuc Sonke, Michel van de Velden Floor area / size: 185 mtr Start building: 2014 Status: Under construction

The bridge is more than just a connection. It is the key project for the development of the public space of the river park in the Meixi Lake District besides Changsha capital of Hunan province in China. It will be the icon on the recreational and touristic light street along the Dragon King Harbor River. Construction is scheduled for next year.
The construction with the intersecting connections is based on the principal of the Möbius ring. On the other hand it refers to a Chinese knot that comes from an ancient decorative Chinese folk art.
With a total length of 185 meter and 22 meters heigth, the bridge connects a diversity of routings on different heights. The iconic appearance contributes to the developing identity of the area and with its lighting contributes to the whole light routing along the river. It provides both a view on the Dragon King Harbor River as well as Meixi Lake, Changsha and it surrounding mountains.
Type: Bridge Location: Purmerend Client: Municipality of Purmerend Collaborator / associate: Ronald Rietveld Landschaparchitectuur Floor area / size: 66 mtr span Cost: Euro 6.000.000,00 Construction: Ingenieurs Bureau Amsterdam (IBA), ABT adviesbureau voor Bouwtechniek Status: Realised

The Melkwegbridge, a continuation of the Melkweg, is part of the Kanaalsprong master plan and connects the Weidevenne district to the historical city centre of Purmerend.
To conform to the angle of inclination requirements with regard to bicycle and wheelchair traffic, we needed a length of over 100m.
We therefore decided to separate bicycle and wheelchair traffic from pedestrian traffic. Pedestrians cross the canal by a high arch, reach a height of over 12m and stand a chance of a vista: the connection between the old and the new becomes perceivable here.
The bridge thus becomes more than just the fastest possible crossing, it becomes an end and an attraction in itself. Because pedestrian traffic and bicycle traffic are separated, the footbridge can continue the direct line of the Melkweg in the direction of the centre.
The bicycle bridge coils over the water to create sufficient length to limit the angle of inclination of the bicycle path. The section that opens is divided diagonally and consists of two revolving bridge decks.
Type: Bridge Location: Nijmegen Client: Municipality of Nijmegen Construction: Ingenieurs Bureau Amsterdam (IBA) Start building: April 2014 Completion: September 2015 Status: Under construction
2015-07-15 Ruimte voor de Waal sunny overview 2014-11-25 Outlines of Citadelbridge visible 2014-06-27 First prefab elements of pillars Citadelbridge placed 2013-01-22 Start construction 'Ruimte voor de Waal' Nijmegen
The global climate change and urbanization leaves us a new challenge. More and more the rivers that cross The Netherlands show peaks in their water levels. There is an increasing risk of flooding. Therefore a Nationwide project started to rearrange the floodplains to give way to the amount of water.
The Citadelbridge in Nijmegen is part of this program. By creating a bypass for the river, the Waal, a new island, Veur-Lent, emerges. The bridge connects the island and the northern riverbank. Its location, in the floodplain, makes the bridge -partially- submerge in the water a few days a year, with a average fluctuation of about 5 meter. This particular property we used as one of the main design principles for the bridge. With its steppingstones the bridge attracts people with high tide and will make people wonder when there is no water at all.
The curved bridge becomes an integral part of a path structure in the riverpark. The bridge deck continues on land, path and bridge submerge. The transition between bridge and path is smooth and gradual. The longitudinal profile is asymmetrical, which makes the lower part of the bridge disappear at high tide. Then the dynamics of the landscape is most visible, the rising water becomes an attraction. Stepping stones, terraces and benches enhance the recreational quality of the bridge.
Type: Infrastructure, bridges and pumpingstations Location: Noordwaard / Biesbosch Client: Projectbureau Noordwaard | Ministerie I&M Collaborator / associate: H+N+S landschapsarchitecten Contractor: Ballast Nedam
The Noordwaard is one of the 39 major projects within the Ruimte voor de Rivieren strategy which focuses on controlled inundation to enlarge water detention capacity. The Ruimte voor de Rivieren strategy is a program of measures resulting from the desire to protect the Netherlands against a future increase in river discharge and surge, without primarily raising dikes. The Noordwaard in its present form is a polder where people live and work. By lowering the dike of the Noordwaard polder the area will become subject to controlled inundation and function as a dedicated water detention district.
By invitation of Ballast Nedam, NEXT architects co-operated with H+N+S landschapsarchitecten in the tender for the bridges and pumping-stations for the Noordwaard.
De Centrale As
Type: Architectural and landscape designfor 24 km provincial road including 35 civil works Location: Friesland, The Netherlands Client: De Centrale As, cooperation of Province Friesland and municipalities Team: Bart Reuser, Marijn Schenk, Michel Schreinemachers, Joost Lemmens, Jurriaan Hillerstrom, Pieter Mulder, Jurrian Knijtijzer, Wingjim Yick, Anne-Laurence Ricard, Agata Piet with Lodewijk van Nieuwenhuijze, Jutta Raith en Frank Talsma Collaborator / associate: H+N+S Landscape architects Floor area / size: 24km Build engineer: Arup Lighting, Amsterdam Construction: Arup Amsterdam Start building: 2012 Completion: 2015 Status: In progress
2015-01-13 Opening bypass Garyp
Construction of the N356 De Centrale As, a highway connecting the N31 south of Burgum with the Dokkum ring road, is a unique project. The 25km route, dissecting the Noardlike Fryske Wâlden, is realised as a 21st century, three-dimensional, winding road that introduces a dialogue between the user and their surroundings by creating a road that displays the landscape in its diversity of high and low and wet and dry plots.
In the vision "Road and Landscape on one Line" proposed by NEXT/H+N+S, the form and integration of the road rely on contrast, the dichotomy between road and landscape. Making the explicit choice to retain the individual identity of both the landscape and the road and clarifying the contrast between them, reinforces the experience of both. Drivers experience the landscape through the continuation and preservation of the lines of trees dividing the countryside within close proximity of the road and on the central reservation. Thus the driver effectively travels through the compartmentalised surroundings which strengthens the legibility of the landscape.
To manifest a strong road identity, the forms of the integrated bridges and tunnels were coordinated. Dividing these structures into form families leads to a strong cohesion and an interesting sequence along De Centrale As. For generic elements, such as intermediate supports, edge detailing and retaining walls, building blocks were developed that determine both form and materialisation. In the determination of this idiom, experience of the project from the road itself and from within the landscape were taken into consideration. The appearance of De Centrale As is differentiated from local structures through the placement of expanded metal screens along the bridge deck. The various structures are given an explicit main shape while their open materiality enables them to blend into the landscape. From the road however crossings with local structures and incisions into the ground are emphasized. The perforated corten steel screens give De Centrale As a strong identity that corresponds to the extraordinary landscape it traverses.
The integrated lighting plan prioritizes the preservation of darkness. By cherishing darkness as a special contextual characteristic, a night time image is created in which De Centrale As is kept in obscurity but the local roads are illuminated.
Type: Landmark | bridge, restaurant and viewing deck Location: Amsterdam Team: Bart Reuser, Marijn Schenk, Michel Schreinemachers with Maria Teresa Dur�o Floor area / size: 350 mtr span Special thanks to: Quest Magazine Status: Sketch design
2008-07-31 New landmark for Amsterdam?
'Why is it that Amsterdam lacks an architectonic icon like the Eiffel Tower' questions Quest Magazine. Amsterdam is no city of 'useless' icons is the answer of NEXT architects. But it has potential for a strong gesture that binds north and south Amsterdam for good. Therefore NEXT designed in this context the Y-bridge in connection with the waterfront developments along the Y-banks and published in the July issue. Beside the connection of the centre with the developments on the North side of the Y, the bridge forms a square above the water with a great view of Amsterdam and its remarkable canals. The bridge has a span of approximately 350 meter and goes up to 50 meter concerning cruise ships to pass. This Y-bridge creates not only a relation with Amsterdam North, but moreover it transforms the Y to a town square. It is a new icon for Amsterdam and perhaps even for the Netherlands.
De Centrale As | Bat and bicycle bridge
Type: Bicycle and padestrian bridge Location: Heidstreek, Friesland, The Netherlands Client: Projectbureau De Centrale As Team: Bart Reuser, Marijn Schenk, Michel Schreinemachers, Joost Lemmens, Jurriaan Hillerstrom, Pieter Mulder, Jurrian Knijtijzer and others with Frank Talsma Collaborator / associate: H+N+S Landscape architects Floor area / size: 130m length Construction: Witteveen en Bos Start building: 2013 Completion: 2015 Status: In progress
Constructing a new road in the Netherlands means that certain measures must be taken to protect endangered bat populations. Dutch policy on flora and fauna reflects this, ensuring disruption to their habitat is minimalized.
For De Centrale As we made use of artificial 'hop-overs' that were designed to guide bats across the highway at a safe height above traffic level. The success of this type of construction was recognised in 2010 by ecological consultants Altenburg & Wymenga and the Mammal Association who concluded that, with careful planning of the immediate surroundings, the intervention was effective. Within the masterplan of De Centrale As the artificial hop-over will be located nearby the town Sumar.
NEXT architects collaborated with H+N+S Landschapsarchitecten to design the hop-overs. However, the design was also referenced in other bridges of De Centrale As which are used by pedestrians and cyclists. This decision allows for a continuation in the formal language of the masterplan.
The design of the artworks is based on rural implementation. The objects have a strong and recognizable identity that includes gradient surfaces and diagonal structures. The steel construction is covered with wooden slats. The combination of grey wood and hard coal coatings create a special contrast with the surrounding trees that enclose the hop-overs.

The Visschebelt is a nature conservancy project intended to return the Regge River to its original meandering path. The outlook-hill offering a panoramic overview of the new nature-area is linked to the new bridge. The bridge is comprised of a section for motor traffic and a section for light and low-speed traffic, such as equestrian traffic, small motorscooters and special vehicles.
Over the Regge, the bicycle- and foot-paths descend in the direction of the elevated outlook, so that the bridge splits into two parts. The eye-catching, triangular area created by splitting the traffic paths emphasizes the presence of and relation to the water. Aside from creating a surprising look-through space, the opening allows daylight to reach the usually dark spaces under the bridge, promoting plant growth.
Contrasting with the open and airy railing running along the outer side of the bridge, the safety barrier along the inner side of the bridge is a solid concrete wall, extending down past the surface of the roadway toward the river; the barrier is adorned with a bold graphic design.
The outer railing is detailed with graduated steel supports, tapering from a narrow top to a wider base on the outer side of the bridge. In this way, the edge of the bridge on the east side is rigid: the grates and railings are terminated abruptly. On the opposite side of the Regge, the west side, the bridge dissolves into the landscape through the more gradual lines of the grates and railing supports.
Bridges Enschede
Type: Two bridges Location: Glanerbeek Client: Municipality Enschede Team: Bart Reuser, Marijn Schenk, Michel Schreinemachers, John van de Water with Shaya Fallahi, Joost Lemmens Collaborator / associate: H+N+S Landschapearchitects Floor area / size: 20 mtr span Cost: - Contractor: Spijkerbouw Construction: ABT construction, Rob Nijsse and Jans Askes Start building: May 2006 Completion: December 2006
To reconcile the rather contradictory aim of transporting motor-vehicle traffic through the ecological zone of the Glanerbeek, the continuity of both is taken as a starting point. Above the brook the bridge transforms according to visual and ecological demands.
The bridge splits into three separate lanes – one each for bus, pedestrians and bicycles - and each assigned its individual artery the maximum available height, clearance and incline. This emphasizes its transparency, providing daylight underneath the bridge for flora and fauna, as well as a view of the Glanerbeek for passersby. A bench placed at the most advantageous overlook on the footpath combines the traditional function of the bridge as a point of transition with that of a meeting place.
The construction is based on a thin in-situ concrete deck, strategically positioned atop a repetition of gabions filled with rough stones. The use of gabions allows plants and wildlife to inhabit the structure, further integrating the bridge into its natural surroundings.

Tonight's Academy Awards were extraordinary not just for the stunning gowns, the surging emotions, and Jennifer Hudson's shockingly teeny waist. Seriously, when did that woman become a walking toothpick? No, the most remarkable part of the show was the sheer number of times we stared at the screen in complete disbelief and yelled, "Whaaaaa?" From the skin-crawling to the unfunny, the obscene to the blundering, here are our top five picks for the most cringe-inducing moments at the 83rd Academy Awards (and there were a lot):
5) Melissa Leo drops the F-bomb: As adorable as it was to see a stunned Leo snag Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Fighter, hearing her develop a cause of pirate mouth in front of all those couture gowns almost made our monocle fall into our champagne flute. You ain't Charlestown anymore, Leo!
4) The Ghost of Bob Hope introduces Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law: Bob Hope has been dead for almost eight years, and he still managed to be a funnier, more charming host than Franco or Hathaway. Not that it makes using a hologram of the deceased star any less creepy. In fact, we were so weirded out by Zombie Bob Hope, we almost couldn't enjoy the smoking hot Jude zinging the equally gorgeous Robert. Obviously we did, but still, it shouldn't have been that hard.
3) James Franco dressed as Marilyn Monroe: Watching James Franco lumber out in a cheap, ill-fitting ball gown dress? Cringe-inducing. Watching a cross-dressing Franco make a barely-still-topical Charlie Sheen joke? Welcome to Disasterscape 2011.
2) James Franco in general: Where exactly did Franco go after the Best Animated Feature award? Or after Halle Berry's tribute to Lena Horne? Or the other half a dozen times he was separated from Anne to let her host alone? After so much hype about Franco's eccentric taste and unpredictable energy, the last thing we expected was his conspicuous absence, or for the various other hosts to outshine him while he smirked in the corner. Maybe if he'd been able to open his eyes more than a tiny crack, Franco'd be able to see what a snooze-fest his Oscars had become.
1) Kirk Douglas presents Best Supporting Actress: You guys, look. According to Wikipedia tonight, Kirk Douglas is 294. While that might be a slight exaggeration, Douglas was none-the-less a bizarre choice to kick off what we were told to consider the "young people's Oscars." Despite the fact that everyone in America was silently rooting for him, Kirk's excruciatingly long, barely intelligible intro had us burying our face in our hands, helping set the tone for the most awkward Oscars ceremony in recent memory.
