I for one have been impressed by the amount of talent on the show. Sure last night wasn't the greatest, but last week was incredible and I'm really looking forward to hearing the next group.
Men are like slinkies... not really good for anything, but you can't help but smile as you see one tumble down the stairs.
I tend to agree.
I find the talent on this show very good so far. The bad ones are really bad, so it may be setting the bar too low or something, but the Canadians that are good so far impress me moreso than those on AI2.
Perhaps I am basing too much on last night's show, and I do think this will give good exposure to some people, and maybe time will prove me wrong but... I don't think a superstar will be launched from this show. I think in part because this show does seem to be of a low quality and anyone who does launch a career off winning this contest will have to perform their butts off to overcome being a gimmick. By the way anybody buy a Sugar Jones CD from the 99 cent bin lately?
Guess I'm in a minority on this one because I've been very impressed with the performances and with who's going to top 10.
The bad performances are just as bad as the awful AI performances were.
Also, the judges rock!!!!
As for Ben.....he sucks....but I'd rather watch him then Dunkleman!!LOL

I Don't Know - Hank III
I might get drunk and rob a bank,
shoot my car if it don't crank
Try to raise a little Cain,
mess the walls up with some paint
Might even join a rodeo,
ride my horse to Buffalo,
change my name to Bill -
I don't think I ever will
But I can't promise you I won't
Some people do, some people don't
Some people win, some people lose
Some people never get to choose
All you can do is the best you can
and hope things work out like you plan
I plan to stay but I might go
I can't say cause I don't know.
(Instrumental break)
I might become the president
and tell the world I'm heaven sent
Take up drinking cold iced tea,
quit watching women and tv
Might even smoke no cigarettes,
play my guitar like Dickey Betts
Get in miss Shania's pants -
I don't think I've got a chance
But I ain't sayin' I won't try
to do it all before I die
I just might win, but if I lose,
well I'll just blame it on the booze
Cause I'm just doin the best I can,
and I hope ya understand
I plan to stay, but I might go
and if I do, I told you so

Look it's very simple, Brodeur can't be back here. They can give all the reassurances they want to Cory - with what Pete DeBoer just said on the radio, Brodeur cannot be back. It should not happen. It shouldn't happen based on everything Brodeur told the press in February and March during his Trail of Tears series of press conferences. And it shouldn't happen based on what Cory just told Chere. This shouldn't even be a discussion that Cory Schneider should have to have with his general manager.
Cory says he'd liked to have had 50-75 more games - haha, that's nuts. Schneider should've started 300 games by now. The Devils and Canucks have cost him a shot at a Hall of Fame career.

Article: Characterization of Adjacent Track Erasure in Perpendicular Recording by a Stationary Footprint Technique[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: As the perpendicular recording writer keeps scaling down to improve recording areal density and data rate throughput, the off-track performance of the writer, including both adjacent track erasure and wide area adjacent track erasure, becomes one of the key challenges in hard disk drives. Understanding writer erasure locations and mechanisms is critical. In this paper, stationary footprint technique is used to study various perpendicular writer designs. The asymmetric responses of two side shields in wrapped-around shielded writer are observed, which agree well with micromagnetic modeling results. The impacts of asymmetric side shields on cross track gradient and adjacent track erasure were qualitatively verified. The hot spot locations and mechanisms of wide area track erasure have been investigated. The impacts of recording media and recording reader in stationary footprint measurement are also discussed.IEEE Transactions on Magnetics 02/2013; 49(2):744-750.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a numerical analysis of adjacent track erasure (ATE) when operating wrapped-around shielded perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) heads. Micromagnetic finite element modeling was used to investigate the magnetization dynamics in a PMR writer including a soft underlayer, and the resultant magnetic field in the recording layer. It is found that the ATE-field is an asymmetric and localized return field. Such an asymmetry is determined by the directions of both the magnetization in the pole tip and the initial magnetization in the WAS. The ATE-field is located near the corner and the inner edge of one side-shield. It is also found that the ATE-field remains strong for most of the time during write-field switching.IEEE Transactions on Magnetics 11/2009; 45(10-45):3730 - 3732.

ABSTRACT: The response of a trailing shielded perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) write head with a three-turn two-layer coils is calculated using a full micromagnetic large scale model including return pole and soft underlayer. We study the effect of PMR yoke length and write current overshoot on the dynamic response of the head at high frequency. In particular, recording performance parameter, nonlinear transition shift (NLTS) is simulated using micromagnetic media model. Shorter yoke length head improves NLTS as compared with longer yoke length. Measured NLTS has qualitative agreement with micromagnetic model results.IEEE Transactions on Magnetics 12/2008; 44(11-44):3388 - 3391. DOI:10.1109/TMAG.2008.2002530 · 1.39 Impact Factor
Article: A comparative study of alternating write-current-induced pole tip protrusion in perpendicular and longitudinal recording heads[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a comparative study of alternating write-current-induced pole tip protrusions (WPTP) in perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) and longitudinal magnetic recording (LMR) heads during writing operation. Both finite element modeling and experimental measurements were performed for this study. The results show that the writer resistance and inductance as well as the WPTP of PMR heads are all substantially lower than those of LMR heads within the write-current frequency range under consideration. It is found that the WPTP of a LMR head is mainly attributed to the eddy-current-induced Joule heating in yoke, whereas for a PMR head, the contribution to the WPTP from the Joule heating generated in write coils is comparable to that induced in yoke.Journal of Applied Physics 05/2008; 103(7-103):07F547 - 07F547-3.

Article: Finite Element Analysis of Alternating Write-Current-Induced Pole Tip Protrusion in Magnetic Recording Heads[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a finite element analysis of alternating write-current-induced pole tip protrusion (WPTP) generated in longitudinal magnetic recording (LMR) heads. An integrated magneto-thermal-mechanical model is developed for the simulations of the electromagnetic Joule heating generated in the LMR writer, the slider temperature distribution, and the slider deformation during writing. The computed results are compared with the experimental measurements in terms of writer resistance and inductance, the WPTP, and temperature rise at reader location. It is found that eddy currents are strongly induced near the surfaces of write poles, while the eddy currents induced in write coils are negligibly weak. The results show that the eddy current loss in the write poles dominates over the Joule heat generated in the write coils. It is also found that the maximum protrusion appears near the write pole in the overcoat and the protrusion profile is sharper than that induced by equivalent direct write current and coil resistanceIEEE Transactions on Magnetics 07/2007; 43(6-43):2217 - 2219.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents finite-element analysis of the stress-induced magnetic anisotropy in perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) heads developed during fabrication. The intrinsic stresses of various thin films used in the heads were measured using wafer curvature, while the stress in the yoke region was measured using X-ray diffraction. The measured stresses are provided. The initial strains due to the intrinsic stresses in the films were modeled using equivalent thermal strains and the calculations were verified by correlations with the stress measurements. Finite-element simulations were performed for calculating the stresses in full PMR heads. Detailed simulation procedures are described. Computed results are presented on how sensitive the magnetic anisotropy in the write pole are to the pole tip length and the slider lapping and the compressive stress in overcoat as well as the ambient temperatureIEEE Transactions on Magnetics 07/2007; 43(6-43):2214 - 2216.

Article: Pole tip protrusion of giant magnetic recording heads: simulation and experimental verification. J Appl Phys 97:10P303[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper presents an integrated finite element modeling of the pole tip protrusion (PTP) of giant magnetic recording heads during writing operation. The convection heat transfer models are presented in detail and verified by Guzik measurements. Modeling results agree well with the measurements in terms of the protrusion and the temperature rise at reader. It is found that the second shield (S2) protrudes the most regardless of the presence or absence of the airflow such as induced by a spinning disk. It is also found that the viscous dissipation generated in air bearing gives a negligible impact on the PTP.Journal of Applied Physics 05/2005; 97(10):10P303-10P303-3. DOI:10.1063/1.1851672 · 2.18 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: In order to support increasing recording density, the flying height of magnetic recording sliders continues to decrease. At flying heights less than 10 nm, thermal protrusion induced by write current and operational temperature of the drive is a significant fraction of the total head-disk spacing. The experimental method described provides a means to estimate dynamic PTP induced by current and temperature. Finite element commercial software, ANSYS is utilized to solve the steady state multi-physical problem in the write process. By making differential measurements of head topography after maximizing cross-correlation, the effect of dissimilar materials on the measured static protrusion is eliminated. By comparing dynamic PTP with static PTP measured by optical profilometry, it is observed that cooling due to airflow and proximity to the disk during flying are significant in reducing the net protrusion. Experimental and modeling results are in good agreement in the estimate of this cooling effect. For the recording head evaluated in this study, dynamic write induced PTP is approximately 57% lower than static PTP at 25 °.

Hillary Bobs and Weaves
Feb 4, 2013, Vol. 18, No. 20 • By STEPHEN F. HAYES
Although Clinton says she never saw reports contradicting Rice's version of events, she testified that she was careful never to blame the video for the attacks in -Benghazi. "With respect to the video, I did not say that it was video from—that it was about the video for Libya. It certainly was for many of the other places we were watching these disturbances."
That's parsing that would make even her husband blush. In a statement she put out on the evening of September 11—"Statement by Secretary Clinton on the Attack in Benghazi"—she denounced the assault and the video. "I condemn in the strongest terms the attack on our mission in Benghazi today. . . . Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others."
Three days later, at the solemn ceremony for the arrival of the caskets of the slain Americans, she said: "This has been a difficult week for the State Department and for our country. We've seen the heavy assault on our post in -Benghazi that took the lives of those brave men. We've seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with. It is hard for the American people to make sense of that because it is senseless, and it is totally unacceptable."
Clinton's current position, if we take her literally, seems to be that the protests and attacks on our embassies throughout the region came in response to the video, but the attack in Benghazi did not. Let's take Clinton's parsing at face value and assume that she intended to separate the Benghazi attacks from the violence elsewhere triggered by the video. If she wasn't linking the attacks in Libya to the video, she was one of the only Obama officials who didn't do so. Why? By her own account, she hadn't seen any of the reporting that contradicted the administration's early claims about those attacks—made by everyone from Susan Rice to Barack Obama.
It seems unlikely that we'll get answers to these questions. The establishment media coverage of Clinton's testimony ranged from fawning to fulsome. CNN's Soledad O'Brien apparently wasn't bothered by Clinton's inconsistencies, but she excoriated Senator Ron Johnson for having the audacity to ask about them. NBC News summarized her appearance this way: "Speaking of Clinton's performance, all of her political strengths were on display. She was prepared. She was tough when she needed to be. She was deferential when she wanted to be. And she displayed both raw emotion and a sense of humor. It's also worth noting that she's stronger today—politically—than she was four years ago. . . . But politically, her performance yesterday is enough to quiet any nervous Nellies in the Democratic party that she isn't ready for what will inevitably be a rough and tumble campaign should she embark on it."
But before we put the Benghazi story to bed, it's worth noting that Republicans in Congress are not satisfied, and many of them are angry. The administration, its claims of transparency notwithstanding, has refused to provide congressional oversight committees with many of the documents they requested. In particular, the White House has told congressional investigators that it will not provide any documents related to the drafting and editing of the much-disputed "talking points," despite the fact that the administration has offered five different explanations of how those talking points were put together, then changed to omit references to al Qaeda.
The media may not have much interest, but confirmation hearings for John Brennan, the president's nominee to head the CIA, will soon provide senators an opportunity to grill him about the administration's inconsistencies and continuing lack of transparency. If they use it well, the Benghazi scandal may yet grow to adolescence. Either way, Republicans owe it to the public, and particularly the families of the deceased, to demand answers.

With an overall PPP of .837, Johnson ranks below average, though his 63% shooting in transition is good for third in this group. Unfortunately for Johnson, Nevada didnt push the ball too frequently last season, as nearly 83% of his possessions came in half court situations. When the game slowed down, Johnson took advantage of spot up situations, shooting a second ranked 48.7%, but did most of his damage one-on-one. Johnsons 6.11 isolations possessions per-game is second to only Devan Downey, though his 0.716 PPP represents his sometimes over-assertive nature. The same is clear in his shot selection. Though he got to the rim 4.26 times each game, he shot 4.5 pull-ups as well (2nd). Considering he only made his 38.8 percent of his shots off the dribble, it is clear that Johnson is on the ball-dominant side, and will need to be a more efficient player in a smaller role on the next level. [Read Full Article] West Coast Workout Swing Part 3: Joe Abunassar's Impact BasketballMay 19, 2010Joseph Treutlein One of the most impressive athletes in attendance, Johnson sports an outstanding frame for a point guard to go along with great explosiveness and quickness, both of which he makes full use of with his aggressive style of play. More impressive in scrimmages than drills, Johnson showed off a ton of intriguing qualities here, and looks to be making the most of going up against this tough competition every day. In drills, Johnson fared about as youd expect given his resume, still showing slightly awkward mechanics on his shot and getting some inconsistent results. He did hit some nice pull-up jumpers and even showed some NBA three-point range, but he looked much more impressive in scrimmages, where he could put his array of athletic tools to use in a competitive setting. In scrimmages, Johnson had some of the most impressive plays of the day, showing a great first step and an even better second gear to go along with it, only needing the slightest separation to turn it on and explode towards the rim. He complemented this with some pretty crafty moves in the lane as well, using some nice fakes and change of direction ability to get off shots. Johnson also shot the ball very well in scrimmages, getting into a nice rhythm and hitting some spot-up NBA threes, while also mixing in some pull-up jumpers from the mid-range. He did a fairly good job distributing the ball, making some nice passes out of the pick-and-roll, but excelled more as a scorer here, though he did play a very enthusiastic brand of basketball that rubbed off on his teammates. Heading into the combine and team workouts, Johnson is right in the mix at the top of the second round with a few other point guards and combo guards, and could help himself by continuing to shoot the ball well in workouts while also consistently putting together all his tools to play a steady offensive game. Theres no denying his physical tools, so its just a matter of putting everything else together consistently that will determine his success. [Read Full Article] NCAA Weekly Performers, 2/16/10February 16, 2010Joseph Treutlein Coming off a very strong sophomore season, Armon Johnson has made some strides with his game as a junior, but also has taken a step back in some areas. While his assist numbers have steadily climbed his three years in college, he's shooting the worst numbers for his career from the three-point and free-throw lines this season, certainly not something you want to see from a player whose biggest question mark coming into the season was his shooting ability. Looking at his offensive game, it's quite clear that Johnson has an abundance of talent and skills, but his problem continues to be consistently putting them to good use. As a shooter, the interesting thing about Johnson is he actually appears to have pretty good natural shooting ability, as he is very effective when he's shooting in rhythm, with his shoulders aligned to the basket, and not moving from side to side, but too often he settles for incredibly ill-advised shots with his body contorted, his momentum going away from the basket, a hand in his face, etc. According to Synergy Sports Technology, of the plays they've logged for Johnson this season, he's attempted just 13 catch and shoot jumpers as opposed to 54 jumpers off the dribble, an incredible ratio even for a point guard. What Johnson needs to do more than anything is get into a gym with a shooting coach and get all the bad tendencies out of his system, putting a focus on keeping his mechanics consistent and understanding the difference between good and bad shots. Johnson's decision-making in general is a cause for concern, as he will frequently not only take the aforementioned ill-advised jumpers, but he'll do it 5 or 10 seconds into the shot clock, settling for a very low percentage shot for no reason. In terms of attacking the basket, Johnson has a very good first step along with excellent ability to elevate above the rim and draw contact with his very well-built frame, but his FTA/FGA is down from 0.33 to 0.24 this season, which can be seen in watching him play, as he seems more inclined to pull up for a spinning jumper with a hand in his face from 10-15 feet out than go all the way to the basket and throw his body around. To his credit, at the rim he finishes quite well, but he's just not maximizing his abilities. As a point guard, Johnson shows excellent court vision in transition and very good court vision in the halfcourt when he wants to, being capable of making the full repertoire of passes. In transition he has a very natural feel for the game, finding a good balance between his own shot and creating for others, constantly keeping his head up with the ball. In the halfcourt he still seems to be growing into the role, however, as oftentimes he can get tunnel vision with his own shot, specifically when pulling up from mid-range. On the defensive end, Johnson has had major problems this season, being beat off the dribble constantly in isolation situations, usually on his man's first step. He lets out of his defensive stance way too easily and doesn't appear to have the greatest reflexes in recognizing changes of direction. Also, for all his length and physical attributes, he doesn't do much damage in the passing lanes, making just 0.8 steals in 33.5 minutes per game. Looking forward, Johnson clearly has excellent physical attributes to go along with very good skills for the point guard position, but he has quite a few bad habits with his game and has a lot of things he will need to work on to be an effective pro player. The encouraging thing is he shows flashes of brilliance in pretty much all areas of the game at times, and his shooting problems appear to be fixable if he puts in the work, but it will also require a mentality change in better understanding the difference between good and bad shots. It's hard to say anything definitive about Johnson's pro prospects at this point, as he could be all over the map depending on how he improves certain areas of his game, but it appears pretty clear that he needs another year in school to continue his development before coming out. [Read Full Article] Top NBA Draft Prospects in the Non-BCS Conferences, Part FourNovember 13, 2009Jonathan Givony An unheralded high school recruit when he decided to commit to his hometown school, Armon Johnson quickly proved to be a steal for the Nevada Wolfpack, winning conference freshman of the year honors in his first season before becoming a first team all-league selection in his second. Showing great physical attributes for the point guard position, Armon Johnson may remind some scouts on first glance of another Nevada (state) productMarcus Banks. He has excellent size at 6-3, to go along with a terrific wingspan and a chiseled frame. Hes a good athlete on top of that, with a solid first step, the ability to play above the rim, and excellent lateral quickness. Offensively, Johnson is, despite his size, much more of a shot-creating combo guard than he is a pure point. Left-handed, he gets most of his production in pick and roll and isolation situations, being very adept at taking defenders off the dribble, where he likes to use his brute strength to overpower his way into the lane. He gets to the free throw line in turn at a very nice rate, and also is capable of creating scoring opportunities for his teammates on drive and dish plays. When things break down for his Nevada team in end of shot-clock situations, Johnson is capable of making things happen off the bounce. As a shooter, Johnson tends to struggle, showing awkward lefty shooting mechanics, particularly in catch and shoot situations. He does have some shot-making ability pulling up off the dribble, but his poor percentages from beyond the arc (25/90 3P, 28%) surely dont lie. Part of the problem begins with Johnsons shot-selection, which can be downright atrocious at times. Its not rare to see him bring the ball up the floor and heave up a terrible contested pull-up jumper early in the shot-clock, before anyone else on his team has even touched the ball. His poor decision making skills also tends to lend itself to forced drives, leaving serious question marks about his feel for the game and future at the point guard position. Defensively, Johnson is outstanding, making full use of his excellent physical attributes (length, strength, size) to put solid pressure on the ball and keep his defender out of the paint. His wingspan allows him to contest pretty much everything, even if he doesnt come up with a great deal of steals, and he plays with a good amount of intensity on this end of the floor. Johnson tends to lose focus from time to time and overextend himself on the perimeter, but with good coaching and added experience, this shouldnt be a major issue. Johnsons pro prospects will likely come down to his ability to improve his perimeter shooting accuracy (particularly in catch and shoot situations) and decision making skills. If he can get smarter and learn how to play more under control in his final two seasons of college basketball, while adding range to his jumper and becoming a reliable 3-point shooter, he could develop into a very nice prospect.

Marrying, the D.C. Council Way
Should Ward 8 Councilmember Marion Barry have the power to marry people? Should the newlyweds be able to do it themselves? Ward 6 Councilmember Tommy Wells' legislation to open up marriage officiating in the District earned him questions from two of his colleagues at today's D.C. Council meeting.
Wells' bill, the Marriage Officiant Amendment Act of 2013, would allow anyone to register to perform a single wedding, an option he says would provide options for couples beyond religious ceremonies or courthouse weddings. The temporary registrant's power to perform weddings would expire after that wedding, although they could register again. (Under current law, officiants must be members of the clergy, judges, or justices of the peace; you can register as a member of the clergy to perform a wedding, but it's sometimes complicated.)
Not everyone would have such limited powers, though. The legislation would give permanent officiating abilities to the District's mayor, an addition Wells made at the mayor's request that rankled Barry. If mayors can marry, why not mayors-for-life?
While Barry, like any councilmember, could register to be a temporary officiant under the bill, he wants Wells to allow District lawmakers to marry couples without needing authorization. "Why not have it spelled out in the statute as well as the mayor?" Barry asked.
A spokeswoman for Barry hasn't responded to LL's question about whether he gets many requests to officiate weddings.
Meanwhile, Bowser—who, like Wells, is running for mayor in 2014—was concerned that the legislation would allow couples to officiate their own weddings. With no witnesses, who knows what nuptial shenanigans could go on? "Just seems odd," Bowser said. What seems odd about it, LL wondered? Bowser, presumably still tied up in Council business, didn't immediately get back to him.

Hi, my name is Allison and I want to help you discover the power of your voice.
I talk to people all the time who have something they want to say but don't know how to say it. Maybe they're running a small business and are desperate to get the word out there about their products.
Maybe something important has happened in their life and they aren't sure how to share it.
Maybe they've always wanted to start a blog or to write a book.
No matter their circumstances, something is stopping them from getting their message across.
I understand how they feel.
I always knew I wanted to be a writer but couldn't take the leap to make it happen. Then, in 2010, I quit my full-time job, sold pretty much everything I owned and moved out of my apartment with the plan to travel across the United States.
On my trip, I planned to:
1. "find myself"
2. write a book.
Needless to say, nothing happened exactly the way I thought it would, but in 2013, I did publish my first book, Packing Light: Thoughts on Living Life with Less Baggage.
These days I write books, run online courses and in-person retreats and coach writers who need some support completing their latest project.
I have a bachelors degree in English and a masters degree in Education. I'm from Portland, Oregon but I live in Nashville, Tennessee with my husband Darrell—and the cutest baby Goldendoodle named Cooper.
I believe your voice matters. I hope you'll let me help you find it.

Wicked Woods and Goblyns Glen
At Wicked Woods, guests embark upon an interactive, Halloween hunt that promises plenty of tricks and treats. Visitors venture into the spooky foliage and stop at check points along the route, where they must perform various undead deeds, such as retrieving an item or face the wrath of a working guillotine. From Frankenstein's electric chair to the Phantom's masquerade ball, tricks abound and monsters lurk around every wooded turn. When attendees emerge from darkness, a swag bag of goodies awaits.
Meanwhile, what's swirling in the night at Goblyns Glen? Spooky spirits, werewolves, and—according to Sir Amiss Higglesbottom—a monster or two. As master of ceremonies of the Glen's monster safari, Higglesbottom alerts precocious guests of the monsters they may meet while trick-or-treating their way through an enchanted world of Halloween fun. Along the path, they encounter costumed characters, vendors selling snacks, and impressively elaborate Halloween displays that feature everyone's favorite holiday characters such as skeletons and pumpkins. The tradition is familiar to Oak Meadow Park, which has transformed into a magical, spooky wonderland every Halloween since 2008. While sweet aromas waft from various food booths, families hear recanted tales of ghostly lore and ogle interactive oddities. Those who visit on Saturday, October 25, will be treated to balloon twisters and a performance by Patrick the Magician.

YOUNGSTOWN — C.A.T. Productions will present Pride Youngstown Post Thanksgiving Left Overs Drag Show at midnight Monday at Lemon Grove, 122 W. Federal St., downtown.
The show will feature Ahrinstarr, Ricky Vega, Lady C., Britney Cheers and many more. Cover charge is $2.
Raffle tickets for a basket of liquor are being sold at $1 each. The winning ticket will be pulled at 8 p.m. Dec. 17 at the Lemon Grove during Pride Youngstown's Fab-U-Lous Xmas Show.
For more information, e-mail email@example.com.
Perhaps the Vindy will cover the event and make it front page news with plenty of pictures . I'm sure the general public would be estatic .
I wondered how this article might have made it into the Christocator's pages and then I suddenly figured it out. The saintly people behind the editing desk think the event has something to do with hot rods and drag racing.
I'm fairly confident this is the explanation.

"Raffle tickets for a basket of liquor are being sold at $1 each"
Plenty of liquor dulls the senses and erases the guilt .
After a few days, I'm still speechless.

The World of Warcraft is an expansive universe. You're playing the game, you're fighting the bosses, you know the how -- but do you know the why? Each week, Matthew Rossi and Anne Stickney make sure you Know Your Lore by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft.
We've discussed the Green Dragonflight before, from the history and background of the flight itself to the events that occurred during the Nightmare War. But the activities of the green flight continue in Cataclysm, both in the northern reaches of Hyjal and elsewhere around the world. Despite the victory at the end of Stormrage, the troubles of the Green Dragonflight are far from over, and the threat of the Emerald Nightmare still looms.In the sunken city, he lays dreaming ...
The drowned god's heart is black ice ...
At the bottom of the ocean even light must die ...
Do you dream while you sleep or is it an escape from the horrors of reality?
-- The Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron
In Stormrage, it was revealed that Fandral Staghelm was responsible for the continued imprisonment of Malfurion Stormrage in the Emerald Dream. Not only that, but he was attempting to slowly kill Malfurion using a mysterious herb called Morrowgrain, gathered from Un'Goro Crater by unwitting adventurers. At the end of Stormrage, Fandral -- living under the delusion that the Emerald Nightmare had returned his son Valstann from the dead -- fell into madness when Malfurion arrived and destroyed the fake Valstann right in front of Staghelm. Staghelm broke, whatever glimpse of sanity he may have had disappeared, and he was led away to be imprisoned, as it was obvious his actions were those of a madman.
In Cataclysm, the location of Fandral's prison is finally revealed: Mount Hyjal, once home to the night elves prior to Nordrassil's destruction. The barrow dens beneath Hyjal -- once prison to another night elf of note -- are where Fandral is now being held. But not for long. During the course of questing through Hyjal, it's revealed that the Twilight's Hammer seeks to free Fandral Staghelm, and players must escort the former arch druid from the Barrow Dens so that he may be moved to Moonglade.
While it's never directly stated why the Twilight's Hammer wants Fandral, it can be assumed that it's because as an arch druid, he possesses a great deal of power. On top of that, it's already been proven that he's easily corruptible. With that in mind, he'd make a perfect pawn for the Twilight's Hammer. Oddly, though his move to Moonglade is successful, Ysera questions whether or not his relocation was a wise move.
This is partially due to placing him in an area like Moonglade, which still teems with power, and partially due to the fact that the Nightmare corruption that afflicted Fandral is far from taken care of. At the end of Stormrage, Malfurion and the combined forces at his command managed to remove most of the corruption that plagued the Emerald Dream -- but there was one section called the Rift of Aln that even he was unable to touch. Within the Rift, an ancient evil sought to keep its grip there from somewhere in the depths of Azeroth's seas.
The Rift of Aln may very well be the Emerald Dream's version of the Rift in the Maelstrom -- the rift created when the Well of Eternity was destroyed and collapsed upon itself during the Sundering, 10,000 years before. If this is the case, the Maelstrom, which Thrall holds in check, may be sitting on top of an Old God -- the Old God responsible for the Emerald Nightmare. In the Quests and Lore panel at BlizzCon 2010, the Old God was given a name: N'Zoth.
While we haven't really heard any information regarding N'Zoth other than his name, the Green Dragonflight still struggles with the remainder of the Emerald Nightmare that was the Old God's doing. Feralas holds the distinction of being one of four areas that contain portals leading into the Emerald Dream. Though players cannot pass through the portals in game, they were used by Tyrande Whisperwind in Stormrage. In classic WoW, these four portals seemed to serve no purpose whatsoever until the emergence of four dragons of Nightmare -- Emeriss, Lethon, Taerar, and Ysondre.
Formerly trusted lieutenants of Ysera, these four dragons had been thoroughly corrupted by the Emerald Nightmare. In Stormrage, the Nightmare War resulted in the death of Emeriss and Lethon, but Ysondre and Taerar managed to escape death. In Cataclysm, players who venture into Feralas discover Ysondre's fate. Saved from the Emerald Nightmare yet unable to return to the Green Dragonflight, Ysondre seeks to atone for her actions before and during the Nightmare War.
Feralas itself managed to escape the majority of the damage caused by the Sundering. Though the island fortress of Feathermoon Stronghold has sunk into the sea, its night elf inhabitants have built a new stronghold along the shore. The western edge of Feralas is in danger of flooding from the Thousand Needles, but otherwise, the majority of the zone remains unaffected. The wildlife, however ...
Players questing through Feralas are told to take note of the wildlife that is slowly giving in to corruption. And it's not just the deer and other small animals -- even the emerald whelps that protected the Dream Bough in northern Feralas have given in to this corruption. Its cause is unknown, until players meet a familiar green dragon, now in the form of a night elf.
It is then up to the players to seal the portal. Taerar, however, is nowhere to be seen -- in his place is the green dragon Lethlas, who is a shade of his former self and apparently working for Taerar now. After players defeat Lethlas, the quest chain ends. Later, players are asked to meet with Ysondre atop the Emerald Summit to put a stop to Taerar once and for all. With Taerar destroyed, the Dragons of Nightmare are gone, and Feralas is free to flourish without the corrosive corruption of the Emerald Nightmare. Ysondre is also free, though she is unable to rejoin the green flight. All seems to be well -- but what about the other portals to the Emerald Dream, scattered across the world?Konu Runetotem says: I am at a loss. Perhaps only the Earth Mother herself knows the cause of this. But we must do something before this continues...
Ysondre says: Your sincerity is moving, druid.
Konu Runetotem says: You are no night elf...this is the guise of a green dragon! By the Earth mother, I...
<Konu Runetotem kneels before Ysondre>
Ysondre says: I deserve no such respect or reverence, druid. I have betrayed my own kind. The illness of this land is my fault.
Ysondre says: The sickness is born of the Nightmare within the Emerald Dream, and the dragon Taerar spreads it. He is but a crazed shade of his former self, but will see this land devoured.
Ysondre says: I cannot face him myself. To even approach him would risk letting the same corruption overtake me once more.
Konu Runetotem says: What must we do?
Ysondre says: The earth itself weeps in its suffering. Gather its tears, and use them to seal the portal at the Great Tree. The connection to the Dream must be cut.
Ysondre says: Be brave, heroes.
In the Hinterlands, Seradane lies deserted. All dragonkin that formerly watched the portal have disappeared, and the drake guardians of the portal, Rothos and Dreamtracker, have vanished. In Ashenvale, Bough Shadow still holds remnants of its guardians as well as the drake pair Phantim and Dreamstalker, but there appears to be no mysterious activity or corruption rampant in the area. In Duskwood, the Twilight Grove remains empty -- no guardian drakes, no dragonkin, nothing but a portal and the sounds of archaeologists digging up the night elf site.
Ysera, leader of the Green Dragonflight, has now assisted the night elves in taking back Mount Hyjal and pushing back the minions of Ragnaros and the Twilight Cult. But though the Nightmare War took care of the majority of the corruption in the Emerald Dream, pieces of it still lurk within the Rift of Aln. Fandral Staghelm has supposedly been relocated to Moonglade, but both his and the green dragon Alysra's whereabouts are currently unknown. Did they arrive in Moonglade as planned, or were they intercepted somewhere along the way?
As for the Emerald Nightmare -- as long as N'Zoth exists, it is unlikely that the Nightmare will be wiped out entirely. Though the portal in Dream Bough was sealed, the other portals scattered around Azeroth have not. Will we see more corrupted areas as time goes on? Was Ysera's departure from the Emerald Dream a well-intentioned mistake? Should she have remained behind to address the last points of corruption within the Emerald Dream? Most importantly, will we confront N'Zoth in this expansion, or will we have to wait to put him to an end?
The answers are all incredibly unclear at this point, but rest assured, once the immediate horrors of Deathwing's emergence have been dealt with, it is highly likely we'll turn our attentions to those areas that were left unattended in favor of the more pressing matter of the Shattering and its impact on Azeroth. With the addition of new daily quests in Hyjal and the upcoming raid on the Firelands in 4.1, it's clear that the story in Hyjal will continue to develop. Perhaps once Ragnaros has been laid to his final rest, the druids of Azeroth and the Green Dragonflight will once more turn their attentions to the Emerald Dream, the Rift of Aln, and ultimately, N'Zoth.

Saturday, March 31, 2012
If you've read other blogs, you may have picked up on the fact that I LOVE my water exercise classes, and I'm not fond of other exercise. I expect this will change as I lose more weight, but at just over 300 pounds, land-based exercise still does a number on my knees.
This means that I feel out-of-luck on days when there are no classes scheduled. There are only classes that I can attend on 5 days per week, and I really don't like the new Saturday morning instructor. And I usually need the sleep, so Saturday morning falls by the wayside, and 4 days per week has been common (or less). And even if I do make Saturday, I hardly ever exercise on Friday. Sometimes I'll do my own water workout on Sunday afternoon, but maybe once on Friday in the past 2 years.
Until yesterday! The AC is out at the house, so my visits to the pool this week have kept me cooler. And I decided to go and do my own workout Friday evening. It was fabulous! It was probably better than some of the classes during the week. I was really proud of myself.
I proceeded to sleep in today, but the pool is open until 5:45 today and tomorrow, so my goal is to get there and work out in the water again, both days. Lots of house chores to do today, but if I can make some progress by 4:30, I'm going to treat myself to some pool tiime. I only need 25 minutes to hit 500 fitness minutes for March. And then I want to increase that for April, so a Sunday pool visit is on the agenda as well.
I'm still up about 3 pounds from March 1st. Not please about that, but all I can control is what I do today. One meal and one bit of activity at a time.

With a struggling Marcus Johansson sidelined with an upper body injury and Brooks Laich not yet cleared for contact, forwards Mathieu Perreault and Eric Fehr are being called upon to do more.
In Saturday's 5-0 win against the Florida Panthers, Perreault was flanked by Fehr and Joel Ward on the Capitals' third line and the trio responded with a combined two goals and five points.
"When you first look at [Perreault]," head coach Adam Oates explained, "people said to me 'He's a fancy player'. And while he does have good skill, the two goals they got came off cycles, from work. Their line looked like every shift that's what they're doing. The pretty plays in the game of hockey are so rare now, you've got to be willing to work and play 200 feet. That's what he did and that's what their line did and that's what I liked."
Fehr was a healthy scratch for the first three games this season and has played primarily on the Capitals' fourth line when he has been in the lineup. Perreault meanwhile was recently a healthy scratch for five straight games after complaining of a lack of ice-time earlier this season.
"There's no Marcus on the ice, but at the same time it's another chance for me," said Perreault, who had a career-high 16 goals and 30 points in 64 games last season.
"I think last year same thing happened [with Nicklas Backstrom]. Nicky got a concussion and they gave me [ice time]. So, yeah, I think I've been showing that when guys get hurt, if they need help I'm always there to jump in and I'm always ready to go to help the team when there's guys that are hurt."
Between them, Perreault, Ward and Fehr combined for just three shots on goal, but just as Oates was impressed with the cycle and work ethic of the newly assembled trio, Ward was also impressed with the amount of time the unit spent in Florida's end.
"As long as you're inside their blue line and trapping them in, you're moving around so much that if you're not playing defense in your own zone, we'll be fine," Ward said.
"That's the mentality we're going to have: I guess they say the best defense is a good offense, and we can kind of just press them in that way and we'll be fine."
As for Fehr, the former 20-goal scorer recorded his first point of the season (a secondary assist on Ward's team-leading fifth goal) in Saturday's 5-0 win against Florida and skated a season-high 13:07.
"I want to prove that I'm useful on the ice and I want to create a lot of opportunities offensively and find a way to get on the power play and help the team in that way," said Fehr, who had seven powerplay goals and 19 power play points with the Caps from 2008-11.
"I've been a power play guy in the past and I've got to show that I can be offensive five-on-five to find my way onto the power play."

Home Destination Offers Tips On How To Better Organize Your Laundry Room And Prepare It For Home Buyer Preferences - A Laundry Room Homeowner's Will Love
Dedicated, well-organized laundry rooms are hot on home buyer desires and wish lists. 2013's annual survey titled, "What Buyers Really Want" had new twists; 93 percent of home buyers indicated they want a laundry room full of storage for gaining a better organized home.
A surprising 57 percent consider it essential and would be unlikely to buy a home without a dedicated laundry room. Then, even more surprising, in the results of Better Homes & Gardens' annual survey released February 2015, Millennial generation home shoppers indicate that what a dedicate laundry room in the home they plan to purchase. The minimalist look is growing and a home that makes everyday life easier and fast for coming and going is in demand.
Helping Sellers And Investors Anticipate What Buyer And Occupants Want
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) annual survey helps home sellers better anticipate what today's home buyers are looking for. Also, for real estate investors seeking to buy, renovate and rent out a home for additional income, it is good to know what a rental occupant may want. When real estate sellers have an efficient, well-organized and attractive laundry room, the invested time and dollars will pay dividends at closing.
It is helpful to hire a professional to design a laundry room addition or renovation. By working with a pro, together you will find it an investment very well spent. A design consultation doesn't have to be expensive. Understanding hook-ups, electrical outlets, excellent plumbing, adding storage with doors that open the best direction, and so forth, are all a part of the planning stage.
If planning to sell your home, a laundry room will benefit from a little makeover to help "stage" your home for future potential buyers. Read our great tips on things to do when preparing a home to sell.
Twin Cities home buyers want a laundry room full of storage. Learn how to organize a laundry for stronger homebuyer appeal.
10 Tips for a Well-Organized Laundry Room
1. Paint Your Laundry Room Something Cheerful
Paint for a clean fresh look, just like the laundry will be "fresh and clean". Laundry rooms are taking on more of their own character with today's demands for efficiency.
Choose a paint color that brightens the task just by entering the room. If your laundry room has a sink area with a backsplash, coordinate your paint's color for a designed look that carries throughout the house. While functionality is first, there is little reason to keep a laundry room mundane.
2. Ensure Clothes Washers Have Proper Drainage
Check behind and under laundry room appliances for escaping lint and excess detergent spills in odd places. Be ever on the alert for and water damage. If in doubt, there are fantastic utility trays that are meant to be placed under the clothes washer - just in case. A washer has proper drainage to avoid leaks will save untold expenditures in potential water damage. Appliance hoses should be wrapped and tucked out of sight.
3.Organized Storage Bins Means The Work Is Sooner Done
Laundry rooms are no longer strictly utility; they are dressed up and cheerful. It is easier to stay on top of the laundry with generously sized laundry bins that close, to keep dirty laundry organized and out of sight. The simplest versions of bins hold a load or two and have handles and removable totes. The more elaborate laundry rooms are stocked with storage bins equipped with supply shelves and cross bars for hanging shirts. Buyers who attending a home showing are not interested in seeing dirty clothes stacked in a corner or even clean ones waiting to be folded. Utilize good storage bins to keep the laundry room neat and tidy.
4. Invest In Canvas Laundry Sorters And Laundry Baskets
It only takes a little effort in comparison to what a homeowner gains by becoming more organized. The time is well spent. A laundry room can be easily transformed by purchasing storage items like labeled canvas bins and baskets. Have one for darks and one for whites. Or have separate labeled bins for cold, medium, and hot washes. Running loads of laundry through the washer and dryer cycles will be quicker with pre-sorted routines in place. A well-organized home is one that buyers will appreciate as the visual effect of seeing detergent bottles, scrubbing brushes, and piles of laundry simply isn't engaging. Presenting the idea of a room prepared to maximize efficiently is appealing. A canvas laundry bin is a big step up from the common plastic basket; some even borrow their designs from modern-day boutique hotels. Many come with swivel caster wheels making it super easy to tote laundry from one room to another on the same level.
5. De-clutter With Wall Shelving And Cupboards
De-Cluttering is the foremost order of tasks when staging any home before selling. Laundry rooms are not meant to become a "catch-all" space. Keep items in the laundry room that help with that clean, folded or ironed, pressed and ready to go feeling. Items that will need shelving are likely to include: laundry detergent, spot cleaners, lint rollers, a drying rack, household cleaners, iron, ironing board and the like.
Be generous when removing everything that hasn't been used in the past 6 months. Clothing that becomes stubbornly stained, are generally not worth hanging on to in hopes of a new stain remover that will make a magical difference. Toss it or share it, but don't let it become clutter. Pet food, old paint cans, odd sport paraphernalia only add clutter and don't belong in a tidy laundry room.
6. Add A Table On Wheels For Portability
A well-organized laundry room is a space that shouldn't be overlooked when staging a home to wow potential buyers. If space permits, adding a table on wheels for folding laundry and easy probability will quickly prove to be a definite plus. The home is becoming more of a personal space to get things done efficiently to gain more time to relax. If the laundry room is well organized, it simplifies routine chores and gives a sense of order to a prospective real estate buyer.
7. Install Quality Lighting
A bright, well-lit laundry room means a greater chance to check and treat clothing for stains before they set in, assess repair needs, or find a stray bottom that came of a shirt in the washer. If ironing is set up in the laundry room, being well-lit is vital to press correctly and avoid any burning. A qualified local electrician is the best individual to install laundry room lighting. Track lighting is a great option as it allows you to make adjustments as needed.
8. Install A Place To Hang Clothes
If space behind a door permits, a door mounted Instahanger is a nice way to hang dry an item, or to keep an item of clothing from getting wrinkled after being freshly ironed. Or install a hanging clothes bar above your laundry room appliances, or between cupboards to hang shirts and skirts as they come directly out of the clothes dryer. Many fabrics need little or no ironing if hung immediately. Or simply skip the clothes dryer and hand delicate to dry on their own. Hiring a handyman or engaging simple home improvement skills will help you get an organized laundry room in no time.
9. Flat Counter Space
One of the best investments in a laundry room is the addition of a flat surface for sorting, folding and stacking laundry. Given the right room proportions, a wall mounted counter at counter height (36") will be both multi-functional and is easy to spot as a selling point by a buyer. It creates a perfect place for sorting baskets to be stored under the counter where they are neatly out of the way. Some home designers incorporate a counter top directly above appliances. It makes it super easy to pull out the freshly cleaned laundry and fold it directly on the top above.
10. Update To Energy Efficient Appliances
Energy Wise Clothes Washer And Dryer - Energy efficiency was a top request, as homeowners are more green conscious and are seeking to streamline utility bills. Your laundry room is a great place to begin your green home remodeling projects. Green energy-efficient washers also extract more water from each load, shortening drying time. That saves energy and money off homeowner's energy utility bills.
Other Storage Spaces Home Buyers Want For An Organized Home
* Nine out of ten buyers want a linen closet in the bathroom to help keep towels and toiletries organized.
* Storage space in the garage to organize bikes, sports equipment, or gardening tools also ranks high on the buyers' wish list
* 85 percent of home buyers want a home with a kitchen walk-in pantry.

800+ Lumens. Dang, and I thought my Dinotte Quad Red was bright. I do like the side visibility though. Can't wait for all the folks to start chiming in about how evil/rude/inconsiderate this light is.
Did you also order one of the batteries on the web site or do you have something else? I hope you can post your experience with the light once you have used it.
Well, the first thing I like about it right from the get-go is that you don't have to disconnect the battery every time you are not using it; unlike the Magicshine and clones. Haven't actually ridden with it yet, but here are some pics:
Yes, the "standby" current draw with the battery connected is in the very low micro-amp range. Essentially no drain on the battery.
And per the earlier response, yes, it has the capability to be amazingly rude, which is a fantastically good thing on a bright sunny day (especially riding in and out of shadows). The good thing is that the controller has enough dynamic range to drive the LEDs at very lower power levels as well, making it usable at night. This is also when the side lighting feature really kicks in.

Haven't really got it mastered yet--ran into a couple of issues.
First, to turn the light on you have to punch in a code on the power button--dot dot dash. Simple enough, but the trick is that you have to do it really fast--like double-clicking with your computer mouse. The dots have to be less than .3 seconds in duration. Otherwise you can do it forever and all you have is a cold lump of metal in your hand. I've got it mastered now, though, so no problem.
The other problem I had was that the light was shutting off by itself in midride. This really bugged me, since the battery pack was fully charged. However, the problem was not the light's fault. I was using protected Panasonic cells in one of these boxes
battery box.jpg
Since the protected cells are a little bit longer than regular cells, the box doesn't really close all the way; and when closed as far as I think is appropriate, the springs are really mashed. So, since I hadn't used this pack for awhile, I had loosened the top to relax the load on the springs. Then when I went to use it with the new light, I forgot to cinch down on the lid. Apparently the lid was loose enough that when I went over a bump, the circuit was broken and the light turned off. So the light is OK.
Hopefully over the weekend I will be able to take the light out to a dead end piece of road I know where there is no traffic and a fence I can lean the bike against in an almost vertical position. Once there I can dial in the angle of the light for max visibility from the rear and also play with the various flash modes to make sure I am on the brightest one (I can walk straight back from the parked bike for 100 yards and compare angles, brightness, etc.)
More to follow after I have got it finalized.
Got it tweaked--rode it on my normal ride this morning--passed a friend walking his dog--asked him to watch me as I rode away and then later tell me if the taillight was bright--met up with him on the next lap--he said "You'll get arrested for blinding drivers". So I'm happy and it's a keeper.
So is it worth $230?
It's probably the best taillight on the market right now. If you've got the $$$ and value your safety and are concerned with appearance, it's worth it.
On the other hand, if your budget does not allow this kind of expenditure, you can make do just as well with my Fred-light-twin-pack, shown in post #5 of this thread:
Designshine taillights now available
Biggest difference is that with the Designshine the women will be running after you pleading for your phone number. With the Fred-twin-pack . . . well, . . . maybe not.
That's all, Folks. I'm outa here. Ride safe!

Does anyone have experience mounting the DesignShine to the seatpost? It looks like the mounting bracket would stick out far enough for your leg to hit it with every pedal stroke; just wondering if that's an issue for anyone.
here's my mount FWIW. DesignShine sells a bracket identical to what I made, I just didn't realize I'd need one when ordering and it was faster to make one than to place another order.
Work: the 8 hours that separates bike rides.
To answer a few questions:
- it goes down as low as 60 lumens and has several flash modes suitable for night time. The brightest modes carry "DO NOT USE AT NIGHT" warnings and he means it. This thing lights up an entire room bright enough to read by - great in daylight, probably dangerously bright at night.
- As for the triple click turn on, you can change that, it's in the manual.
As an electronics/LED nerd myself one thing that I think is super cool is that the light is FULLY programmable. If you don't like the flash modes it came with, you can make up your own. If you want to use a different voltage pack, like 3/6 cell packs instead of 2/4/8, you can reprogram the low battery warning/cutoff voltages. I may not ever use these features since the flash modes it comes with are pretty good, but some day I may fool with them.

Topeak MTX rack mounted on my seat post.
Yeah, it seems like mounting on the seat stay is the best option for me. Thanks!
So I have four of the mounts, one on each of my four bikes. Moving the taillight from one bike to another takes about a minute.
