L.A. Noire is a mystery-solving sandbox game developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games. It was released on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on May 17 in North America and on May 20 in Europe.
The game is set in "a perfectly re-created Los Angeles" of 1947, with players being given an open-ended challenge to solve a series of murder mysteries.
Amid the post-war boom of Hollywood's Golden Age, Cole Phelps, an LAPD detective is thrown headfirst into a city drowning in its own success. Corruption is rampant, the drug trade is exploding, and murder rates are at an all-time high. In his fight to climb the ranks and do what's right, Phelps must unravel the truth behind a string of arson attacks, racketeering conspiracies and brutal murders, battling the L.A. underworld and even members of his own department to uncover a secret that could shake the city to its rotten core. Using groundbreaking new animation technology that captures every nuance of an actor's facial performance in astonishing detail, L.A. Noire is a violent crime thriller that blends breathtaking action with true detective work to deliver an unprecedented interactive experience. Search for clues, chase down suspects and interrogate witnesses as you struggle to find the truth in a city where everyone has something to hide.
- "Everyone has their vices. Even you, Phelps."
- ―Roy Earle
Roy Earle is a central character in L.A. Noire. Roy is the corrupt Chief Detective of the Vice department. He is Cole Phelps' partner during his time at the Vice desk. Roy later becomes a secondary antagonist during the arson desk.

Corn futures rose slightly in Sunday night-Monday morning trading. The latest weather news for Southern Brazil and much of Argentina apparently boosted prices, since the latest forecast models imply that region will be blessed with little precipitation this week and that showers expected next week will be light. Weather news seems likely to dominate the corn and soybean markets for several weeks. March corn gained 3.0 cents to $7.39 in early-morning trading, while December added 2.75 cent higher to $5.9475/bushel.
The soybean market posted a significant advance to start the week. As in the corn pit, forecasts for South American dryness this week almost surely boosted prices in overnight trading, especially since rainfall prospects for next week are not very promising either. Given the need for moisture by South American crops at this time of year, harvest prospects may suffer over the short term. March soybeans jumped 13.5 cents to $14.8775 per bushel in pre-dawn electronic activity, while March soyoil climbed 0.40 cents to 53.39 cents/pound and March meal surged $4.4 to $432.6/ton.
Wheat futures also rallied Sunday night and Monday morning. The persistent drought over the Southern Plains probably continued providing background support, but the weekend rise may simply have marked a response to buying spilling over from the corn and soybean markets. March CBOT wheat futures rose 4.25 cents to $7.69/bushel; March KCBT wheat matched that increase, to $8.26 and March MGE futures surged 5.25 cents to $8.57.
The short-term outlook for live cattle futures is uncertain in the wake of events after the Friday afternoon close. They ended last week rather poorly, with persistent slippage in wholesale prices undercutting the markets back up the production chain. The biannual USDA Cattle report concerning the domestic population could undercut summer futures, since it indicated yearling supplies outside feedlots were only slightly below year-ago levels, whereas the surprisingly small 2012 calf crop could boost the deep deferred contracts. The market was also hit by Friday afternoon news that Russia will temporarily ban U.S. all beef and pork exports starting February 11. This issue was raised repeatedly in January, so it may have less impact than one might think. April cattle closed 0.57 cents lower, at 132.17 cents/pound last Friday, while its August counterpart fell 0.65 cents to 128.67. March feeder cattle were down 0.35 cents to 149.20 cents/pound at that time, while August dipped 0.17 to 160.07.
News of a Russian ban on U.S. pork might undercut CME lean hog futures upon their Monday morning opening. Strong midweek cash market gains and a jump in ham prices apparently powered the Chicago market upward in Friday morning, but a substantial weekly slaughter increase and slipping cash prices undercut swine futures at the Friday close. As in the cattle pit, repeated discussions of the impact of a Russian ban on U.S. products make predicting a reaction to the Friday afternoon announcement of that ban problematic. April hogs fell 0.60 cents to 88.75 cents/pound last Friday, while June lost 0.60 cents to 97.50.
Cotton futures fell rather substantially in early-week trading. We saw no news that might have explained the drop, so we suspect the decline was powered by technical selling. That is, the nearby March contract seemed set to break out to the upside late last week, but stalled instead. We suspect the white fiber market will have to undergo a period of consolidation before attempting to break out again. March cotton had slipped 0.50 cents to 82.48 cents/pound early Monday morning, while December had slumped 0.39 cents to 81.07.

"I believe some people were overzealous for dramatic changes to enhance their personal and professional lives," said Pat Miller, who will resume duties as host of WOWO's afternoon talk show after being fired from the same job seven months ago. "It had devolved to the point where it was close to the tipping point of where the station would lose who it was. Then the broom came through."
And in sweeping out the old management team, one of whom had publicly dismissed Miller as too evangelically pro-life and "old school" while engaging in heated and personal arguments with irate listeners, the housecleaning reasserted WOWO's traditional role as the voice of a community comfortable with its religious and conservative roots.
"I've only been here for a month, but we think this is one of those 'win-win' situations," said program director Ryan Wrecker, who said many listeners made it clear they supported Miller, whom Wrecker called "well respected and knowledgeable about the community."
Miller, who did not publicly respond to his sacking in May, said he has the "greatest admiration and respect" for WOWO's new management team. But even in a business in which change is a constant and controversy is often viewed as a virtue, WOWO's handling of the situation seemed wrong-headed from the start.
Miller's firing wasn't the problem. After all, he had been given the job a year earlier after executives decided to take the show in "another direction" by abruptly terminating Pat White after 14 years. No doubt some listeners preferred White to Miller, but that irritation was not exacerbated by unflattering public comments about White or on-air tirades against his supporters. And the statement that WOWO needed to appeal to a "hipper" audience because its signal is now also on FM never made sense, either. You don't expand the audience by gratuitously alienating the base.
It is probably true, as former executives claimed at the time, that some of Miller's more vociferous supporters were also at fault. But the spectacle of a popular, well-established radio station at war with some of its own listeners – some of whom at one point threatened to boycott advertisers – was unusual, to say the least.
The man who fired Miller and briefly replaced him on the air, Program Director Gregg Henson, was replaced in August. And Mark DePrez, chief executive officer of WOWO's parent company, Federated Media, publicly hoped to rebuild bridges with listeners before he, too, was let go in a move executives said was not connected to the Miller controversy.
"I don't feel vindicated because I never felt I had to defend myself," said Miller, who called Henson's criticism of his previous show "a poor assessment. Pro-life issues didn't dominate the program. But that's what's great about talk radio. If you don't agree you can call and tell me I'm out of my mind."
Miller will be on the air from time to time between now and Jan. 2, but when he returns full time he will be free to do the show as he sees fit. In fact, Miller and Wrecker agree, the program will be given more support than before.
"We want to give him the resources to succeed," Wrecker said – support Miller said will include staffers to help with research and bookings that could help land more-prominent guests than Miller could land on his own while also working at his insurance and financial services job.
As a periodic guest on his previous show, I heard from both supporters and detractors. But whatever one thinks of Miller or the station, there's no doubt he's right to call WOWO a "legacy station. When you go around the country, WOWO's name comes up." It is a brand worth protecting.
Much has changed in the brief time since Miller's departure. President Obama, with whom he often disagreed, has been re-elected and tea party-supported Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, whom he backed, was soundly defeated. But the conservative cause remains, Miller said – a cause embraced by much of northeast Indiana.
So is he just preaching to the choir? No, Miller said: "I give the choir a chance to sing."
"Star Trek," of course, returned for just one more season before being cancelled for good. And Miller's reboot will ultimately succeed or fail on the basis of ratings and revenues.
For now, though, sanity and the free market have prevailed. We could use more of both.

GLENDALE, Ariz.— The Los Angeles Dodgers' rotation surplus has been the topic of much speculation since they signed Zack Greinke to slot in behind ace Clayton Kershaw.
While it is technically true that the team has eight candidates for five starting jobs, the only battle is among four pitchers for a single spot because the first four jobs are pretty much decided.
Kershaw and Greinke are the "duh" guys. No way they aren't in there.
Josh Beckett said he would do whatever the team asks of him, but no one in a Dodgers uniform is thinking of him as anything other than a starter. Newcomer Hyun-Jin Ryu cost the team $62 million to sign and can't be sent to the minors without his consent, so he looks to be in.
That leaves Chad Billingsley and Ted Lilly, both of whom are returning from season-ending injuries, and Chris Capuano and Aaron Harang, both of whom are solid, durable fifth options for any rotation.
Competition "is there," manager Don Mattingly says. "If everybody stays healthy and if everybody is throwing the ball the way they are capable of, we've got tough decisions to make."
Every pitcher competing for that final spot has enough service time to decline a minor league demotion. Assuming none accepts a minor league assignment or is traded — and there have been plenty of rumors — three of these veteran starters will find themselves in a deepening bullpen.
"That's not something I'm thinking about right now," Billingsley says. "I'm just getting my work in and doing what I'd normally do."
FANTASY: Greinke underrated heading into 2103 season
Lilly told reporters Tuesday that he likes this team so much, he would rather pitch for it in relief than start elsewhere. Capuano wasn't so sure.
"That's a great question," Capuano said. "I want to be part of this organization and what's going on here. Most importantly, I want to win and want to be part of something special. I would certainly have to think about it."
The Dodgers aren't opposed to trading a starter if they can fill one of their other needs (third base, for example), but the return would have to be an established or at least a major league-ready player. None of those pitchers would bring back a prospect haul.
Because of that, general manager Ned Colletti might opt to play his current hand and keep his starting depth. After all, the Dodgers used nine different starting pitchers last season because of injuries.
"(Starting pitching) has been a Dodger strength over the years. It's what championship teams are built on," Mattingly says. "You don't ever see them slug their way through. It's usually teams that can really pitch. Over the long haul, those are the teams that get there."

Hi fellow Dhammawheel friends! My name is Vitor and I've been interested in Buddhism since I was 15 years old - now I'm 21; I find it very difficult to meet anyone fond of and willing to discuss and practice Buddhism here, for most of the population in the area I live come from a Christian background (I myself was educated as a Christian, but I left Christianism by the time I was 13). Despite feeling lonely and even miserable in my late teens because I could not fit in any group associated with spirituality that were active here, I didn't give up.
Now I hope to learn from you, friends, and also to share my experiences and thoughts.

On Christmas Day, I showed you one of the sleighs in our transport collection. Sorry about the singing, by the way. I hope it was in tune.
Sleighs were very important vehicles in heavy snow in many parts of the world, and continued to be used long after motor cars became popular. We've got a handful of sleighs and sledges in our stores, including two push-sleighs at opposite ends of the glamour spectrum:
That Dutch sleigh is quite a beauty, isn't it. What a way to travel! However, maybe you want a bit more speed, a bit more power. Well, rail travel isn't out of the question. Last time I was at our store in West London, I enountered this great Victorian model of an ice locomotive designed for use in Russia:
Sometimes, though, it's time to wheel out the serious kit. If you're planning a Trans-Antarctic Expedition, this Tucker Sno-Cat might be just the job:
If cold-weather transport is up your street, I haven't found much written about the history of snow and ice transport, but I did come across 'Snow travel and transport', by Walter Lorch (The Gawsworth Series, 1977). It's got lots of great pictures and information, and I'm sure you could find a second-hand copy on that book website named after a big river in South America…

"We have been patient with Aqua Indiana, but now is the time to take action," Henry said in prepared remarks. "City Utilities is in much better position to provide reliable and quality water to customers at an affordable price."
Henry said his office will bring an ordinance to City Council before year's end to start the process of condemning Aqua's southwest assets. The private utility serves about 12,000 customers in southwest Allen County, 70 percent of which live in Fort Wayne, said Ted Nitza, a special consultant to City Utilities.
Aqua Indiana President Tom Bruns said he was disappointed in Henry's decision and thought the two sides were close to finding a better solution for providing southwest customers with better service.
"There were a number of options the city and Aqua had discussed and that we felt would be win-wins," Bruns said.
One of those options, which both Bruns and Henry mentioned, would be for Aqua to buy water at a wholesale rate from the city and sell it to customers at a retail price. But Henry said Aqua officials had rebuffed offers by the city.
Bruns also said he did not learn of the decision until he was contacted by reporters Thursday and was disappointed that Henry did not contact Aqua before announcing the decision publicly at the news conference.
If council approves the takeover, it could still take years for the city to get control of the utility and even longer before the full price becomes clear, based on the city's previous buyout of Aqua's north-side assets.
Eight years after the city first announced its intent to take over Aqua's north side customers, the two parties are still locked in a court battle over the correct price.

Springer takes BP as rookie nears return from DL
HOUSTON -- Rookie outfielder George Springer, who hasn't played since July 19 because of a left quad strain, took batting practice on the field Tuesday for the first time since he was injured.
Springer could be activated when the team opens a three-game series at Philadelphia next Tuesday, but that's probably a little optimistic, considering he still needs to go on a rehab assignment.
Springer was pleased to being able to get on the field, but knows he's got to be smart.
"It's tough," Springer said. "I want to be out here. I want to help these guys and help the Astros and I've just got to get healthy and get in there. The goal is to get back out here as soon as you can."
Astros manager Bo Porter said Springer has increased his activity every day.
"[Monday] he was able to throw and do a little shagging [in the outfield]," Porter said. "He's been hitting in the cage, and he's going to continue to hit. It seems like he's progressing well."
The Astros have definitely missed Springer's production. He had 20 homers and 49 RBIs in just 91 games since being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma in the middle of April. Most of those totals came from the start of May onward.
Springer went on the DL a couple of weeks after starting center Dexter Fowler was disabled with a strained intercostal muscle, meaning Springer moved to center field from right. Enrique Hernandez, an infielder by trade, has been handling the job in center, so Springer's return should impact the team defensively, as well.
"I'm extremely excited," Porter said. "We kind of knew that the rest was going to get him back to a full bill of health. I think the time off was really good for him and he should come back and be ready to go the rest of the year."

HOUSTON - A Houston area family was hit by the sting of a car break-in and home break-in on the same day.
That family, who asked not to be identified, quickly learned the thieves who broke into their car did so only to get their home address off personal papers kept in the glove compartment.
"We didn't leave anything out in the open. I think they saw a family and knew they had time," said the victim.
"Did you think the crooks were actually breaking into your car so they could break into your home?" asked Local 2 Investigator Robert Arnold.
"No, no, no," said the victim. "We didn't even think of that."
This family said they parked their car on the street near the Children's Museum of Houston. When the family came out, they found the passenger side window smashed. The family thought the only things they lost were a GPS and another electronic device stored in the glove compartment. However, by the time the family made it home an hour after the car break-in, they found their back windows had been smashed.
"They got all the jewelry we had at home, which is worth about $5,000, and they got the laptop, which has all our personal stuff," said the victim. "They saw a family going into the museum, so they knew they had time to get to our house."
What troubles the family even more is they thought they parked their car in a safe place.
"They were people everywhere on the streets, other cars, people going into their homes and we didn't leave anything out in the open," said the victim.
"It doesn't matter where you're at, what time of the day it is, it's a possibility that this could be happening," said Paul Grant with Theft Replacement Specialist.
Grant's company specializes in repairing damage from theft and safe guarding vehicles from crooks.
Grant said a common misconception is people think crooks are deterred by crowded parking lots and streets. To prove this point, Grant set up two car "break-ins" in two busy, Houston area parking lots. Local 2 placed hidden cameras inside a pickup truck and a sedan, both owned by Grant's company. The truck was parked in a lot at Sharpstown Mall with plenty of people walking around and a woman was standing directly across from Grant's truck.
Our hidden cameras showed Grant getting out of another vehicle, walking up to the pickup truck and using a screwdriver to both break the pickup truck's door lock and get the engine started. Grant then noisily sped away, but no one in the parking seemed to notice a truck had just been "stolen."
The entire "crime" took 56 seconds.
Grant then parked the sedan in a very crowded Galleria area parking lot. Again, shoppers were carrying packages through the lot and another woman was sitting in her directly across from Grant's sedan. Grant hopped out of a "getaway" vehicle, walked over the to the sedan, smashed the window with a metal punch tool and stole the car's radio before hopping back into a "getaway" car and driving off.
This "crime" took 1 minute and 8 seconds. This time, however, people in the parking lot did notice Grant breaking into the car.
"They looked at me, acknowledged that I was there, I just kept going," said Grant. "The people that were walking by, looked directly at them, I was actually looking at them whenever I punched the hole into the door glass. People don't want to get involved in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's just a matter of being afraid or the fear of saying something while we're doing it."
The shoppers who spotted Grant did not want to speak on camera but said the "crime" happened so fast they weren't sure what was happening or had enough time to get a description of the "getaway" vehicle.
Grant said these demonstrations show crowded parking lots in broad daylight are not a theft deterrent. Grant said that is why it is imperative not to leave personal items out in the open.
"Crime is a motive of opportunity," said Grant.
Grant suggested parking your vehicle as close to a building as possible. If at night, Grant suggested trying to park you vehicle under a light.
"The farther away you get the easier it is for a thief to stay hidden," said Grant.
Grant said there are also several after-market devices that can be installed on a vehicle to help prevent the type of thefts he demonstrated for Local 2. Also, try not to leave any documents with your home address in your car. Carry important papers in your wallet, purse or backpack.

Garner State Park to Commemorate 70 Years
Popular Vacation Destination Also to Honor CCC Workers
CONCAN — To celebrate 70 years of serving literally millions of visitors at one of the most visited natural attractions in Texas, Garner State Park will mark its anniversary this Saturday, June 4, and commemorate the role of the historic Civilian Conservation Corp that helped shape the scenic Hill Country retreat located north of the town of Uvalde along the Frio River.
Dedicated June 1, 1941, the popular park—named in honor of Uvalde resident and former Vice President John Nance "Cactus Jack" Garner, who served during Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidential terms of 1933-41—will host a brief ceremony at the main concession building, site of the famed annual Garner Dance held each summer, beginning at 10 a.m. It will include speakers Gary Merritt, a Real County Judge, and park superintendent Rick Meyers, as well as special guests such as former CCC company workers.
"My dad talked about the CCC while he was working at Garner," said MaryAnn Laughlin Abbott, a resident of Hondo, TX, and active volunteer and member of the park's friends group, "and he said it was probably the best time of his life. My mother would go with her family when she was young to visit my cousin, who was also working at Garner at the time, and that's where she met my dad. I went to the park with some friends in 1962, and that's when I fell in love with Garner myself."
In 1934, 478 acres were purchased and designated as the original park, which now encompasses more than 1,400 acres and accommodates some 350,000 visitors each year. CCC Company 879 worked at the park from 1935-41 improving roads, and building facilities such as cabins, staff quarters and offices, and infrastructure such as trails, water wells, picnic tables and benches—much of which is still in operation today.
For more information, contact Garner State Park at (830) 232-6132, or visit the web site at www.texasstateparks.org.

Homemade play clay
Touch and textures are essential to a growing baby. Feeling the squish of clay between their fingers and following all instincts to eat it are an integral part of learning. With this activity, she can do both!
What you need:
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of flour
- 1/2 cup salt
- 1 tbs vegetable oil
- 2 tsp cream of tartar
Bring all ingredients together in a saucepan.
Stirring all the time, watch as the mixture forms a dough ball.
Remove from pan and place onto a clean board.
Knead until your dough is silky and cool.
Give to your baby and watch her pull it apart, stick it together and even stack it up.
When finished, place in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
This dough is perfect for the exploring baby as she is able to eat it, salty as it may be, and it will not harm her.
You can add food colouring to the pan in the initial stages if you wish, however, be warned, this can stain carpets.
Leaving the clay to air dry will have it set and it could be painted to a masterpiece.

Seven minutes, 11 seconds.
That's how long it took San Diego State to score nine points against Wyoming this time.
It took 2:34 to score the next nine … and 3:33 to score the next nine … and 5:28 to score the next nine.
Or look at it this way: The Aztecs, then ranked No. 15 in the Associated Press poll, scored nine points – the lowest in Mountain West history – in the first half at Wyoming a month ago; Dwayne Polee II, usually buried on the bench, had 11 points alone at the half on Tuesday night.
The Aztecs would win 79-51, no doubt talking their bandwagon fans off the ledge after a pair of close road losses last week. They led 37-13 at the half, had their highest shooting percentage (.682) in six seasons, had a 35-16 advantage on the boards, became the first team this season to break 70 on Wyoming and still would have won even if they went scoreless for the final 12 minutes.
"I didn't have a chance to get any offensive rebounds," said JJ O'Brien, who had at least one in the previous 16 games, "because we weren't missing."
Two other zeros on the stat sheet belonged, incredibly, to starting guards Chase Tapley and Xavier Thames. In points.
Three days after scoring a game-high 22 in the loss at UNLV, including SDSU's final 10 of the game, Tapley took three shots in 27 minutes and missed them all, although he did have a season-high seven assists. Thames was 0 of 3 and had two assists.
But on this night, with this motivation, against this opponent, the Aztecs (19-7, 7-5) didn't need their scoring.
"They whipped us about every way you can," Wyoming coach Larry Shyatt said. "It wouldn't serve me or my team well if I talked about any of the people who were ill or who were unable to play."
He also might not have enough time.
Guard Luke Martinez, their leading scorer, has been out since early January after an arrest for a Laramie bar fight. Forward Leonard Washington, their leading rebounder and second leading scorer, sat out with a sprained ankle. Forward Larry Nance Jr., sick all last week, got an IV before the game and managed just four points and no rebounds in 31 minutes.
Then sophomore forward Derek Cooke Jr., starting for Washington and their only other serviceable big, wrenched his back midway through the first half and didn't play in the second.
The result was eerily familiar. The Aztecs shot 4 of 24 in their nine-point first half last month in Laramie. The Cowboys (19-7, 4-8) shot 4 of 24 in the first half in San Diego.
Meanwhile, those fans who did bother showing up in supposedly soldout Viejas Arena (the student section was two-thirds full, and there were patches of empty seats everywhere else) were treated to Polee's best game of the season with James Rahon sidelined due to a sprained right shoulder.
The sophomore transfer from St. John's had appeared in only seven of the 11 conference games, averaging 1.7 points and 1.3 rebounds in 5.9 minutes. He finished with 16 points and five rebounds (but three turnovers) in 18 minutes.
"With James Rahon going down, he's a big part of our offense," said Polee, who equaled his career high in points, from his first collegiate game at St. John's. "(Rahon) pulled me aside before the game tonight and said I had to step up, and that's exactly what I did … I'm playing behind a lot of great players right now who have a lot of Aztecs history. I'm just waiting my turn and, when I'm in, just making the most of my minutes."
Said Coach Steve Fisher: "If he plays close to what he did tonight, we are going to have to keep him in the rotation. He's earned an opportunity to get some minutes with or without James Rahon."
Lost in the glow of Polee's performance was one of the more efficient nights from Jamaal Franklin, who has come under criticism lately for his sometimes, uh, questionable shot selection.
His line: 20 points (6-of-7 shooting, 2-of-2 on 3s), seven rebounds, two assists, one turnover, one block.
"Jamaal had a really good stat line, but the way he got it was what was impressive," Fisher said. "He's really been working on trying to do that, being more conscious of having more of a mid-range game and not lowering his head and taking it to the basket every time. I thought what he did tonight was what we'd all like to see a little more often.
"He didn't try to do too many things, didn't push stuff when it wasn't there for him. It was nice to see."
Next up: Nevada here on Saturday at 3 p.m. … The last time SDSU shot better in a game was 69.6 percent in a 119-82 win against Campbell on Dec. 12, 2006 … The 28 points represent the fifth-largest margin of victory for the Aztecs in a Mountain West game, and the fifth-largest rebound margin … The 24-point halftime lead was SDSU's largest since 48-21 here against Utah on Feb. 8, 2011, when O'Brien was a freshman forward for the Utes. "I'm glad I'm on the other side this time," O'Brien said.

Happy half Birthday to ME!
Today is my half birthday and to celebrate, I've decided to make a list. If you know me at all, you know I'm a big list maker. It's how I keep my sanity. So yes, making a list is a form of celebration for me. And yes, I do have to admit that sometimes I put things on the list just for the satisfaction of having something to cross off (you know you do it too!).
My friend Amy made a list of 28 things she wanted to do during her 28th year here on Earth. I really enjoyed the idea and have also enjoyed watching people who are blogging about their 101 in 1001 days. In the spirit of these to-do lists, I decided to make one myself. I'm only putting half of my age worth of things on here since I only have a half a year until my next birthday.
(Yes I realize this is a cheesey logo, but cut me some slack, I threw it together in about 25 seconds)
Some of these things seem mundane, but they are things that I've been wanting to do and haven't gotten around to. I'll post updates as I finish things on the list. Wish me luck in my endeavors! And if you've got a list of you own, let me know. I'd love to see what's on your list!
1 Order Denver trip plane tix by 12/31
2 Order Europe trip plane tix
3 Start kitchen remodel
4 Make creme brulee
5 Work out 3x/wk for 6 wks (one / two / three / four / five / six)
6 Eat no french fries for a month (and I LOVE french fries)
7 Read my D40 manual, and start applying what I'm learning from it
8 Finish the major craft project i started 2 years ago
9 Go to a dr about my wrist
10 Send baked goods to family/friends (at least 3 times)
11 Read 1 book/month (Jan / Feb / Mar / Apr / May / June)
12 Learn to ski
13 Plan/Host a girls night (in or out)
13.5 Send at least 5 birthday cards
5 Responses to "Happy half Birthday to ME!"
Love the list! I'm a big list maker too, maybe it's our inner nerd reaching out…Can't wait to hear how it goes!
Thanks Steph – I should have added "Make a better looking logo for my list" to my list… Ha!
I so love lists… to the point where it's an addiction. Something about the satisfaction of completing things on it and crossing it out. 🙂 Great list and happy half birthday!! 🙂
I am a list freak. You should see all the post-its I have all over the apt. HAHA. Happy (belated) 1/2 birthday! Hmmm… when's my 1/2 birthday? ::counting backwards on my fingers::
Glad to hear I'm not the only list maker out there!

Though small in number, members of Cairo's dwindling Jewish community say they are proud of their country and support the army's campaign to quell Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood.
TEL AVIV — When Magda Haroun was out on the streets during the unrest now rocking Egypt's capital, she saw someone standing over the body of a dead soldier.
"Not even a Jew would do this," she heard him say.
Haroun, the president of the Egyptian Jewish community, doesn't enjoy hearing anti-Semitic slurs on the street. She gets nervous when she hears Egyptians are burning the churches of Coptic Christians, a much larger religious minority than the country's tiny Jewish community. She assumes that most of her compatriots have forgotten there are any Jews left in Egypt.
But when protesters filled Cairo's Tahrir Square at the end of June calling on President Mohamed Morsi to step down, she was right there with them.
"The amount of people in Tahrir was breathtaking," Haroun said. "The unity between people was breathtaking. Some of the people recognized me because I was on TV. They were shaking my hand and telling me, 'God bless you. You are a real Egyptian.' "
Haroun, 61, is the youngest of the 14 women who make up Cairo's dwindling Jewish community. Most are now in their 80s, living off charity and rental income from properties the community has owned for generations.
But though small in number, Haroun says the community is proud of its country and, like many Egyptians, supportive of the army's campaign to quell Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood.
The latest round of unrest in Egypt began last month after mass protests in Tahrir Square led the army to depose Morsi, the country's first democratically elected leader, and install a new government. The Muslim Brotherhood denounced the move as a coup and confrontations raged between its supporters and the military, leaving more than 1,000 Egyptians dead in just the last week alone.
Jews have lived in Egypt for millennia. Around the time of Israel's founding in 1948, the community was estimated to number 75,000, but in the decades that followed, the vast majority fled.
Those that remain are happy to call Egypt home, Haroun said. Although she has relatives in several European countries, she vows to "never, never, never" leave.
"I'm very proud to be here," she said. "I want to do whatever I can to help. We are a strong people. I am very happy now" that people are in the street.
Amid news reports that the Obama administration was withholding some aid to Egypt in protest of the military's violent crackdown on Morsi supporters, Haroun said the army's assertion of control is a welcome development she sees as "fighting terrorism."
Haroun said the Jewish community thus far has not experienced any anti-Semitism as a result of the fighting — probably, she said, because it's so small.
Under Morsi's rule, however, it was a different story, she said. Soon after taking office, the government voted to end a monthly subsidy of $1,000 to the Jewish community.
"The way they wanted things to go, it's a fascist movement," she said. "I hope we'll start a new era in Egypt where everyone will be equal regardless of political beliefs. I am very confident in the future."
Another believer in a more tolerant Egyptian future is Levana Zamir, whose family was expelled from Cairo when she was 12. Now living in Tel Aviv, Zamir remembers an Egypt that strived to be open to the world.
"I'm very proud of Egyptians that they want to go back to the secularism and cosmopolitanism of Egypt," said Zamir, the president of the Association of Jews from Egypt in Israel. They need someone like former President Anwar Sadat, "who wanted to open the Arab world."
Haroun said that as much as the casual anti-Semitism she hears bothers her, she believes it comes from Egyptians' unfamiliarity with Judaism. "It's all talking, there is no action," she said. "The talk about anti-Semitism is ignorance."
Egypt's unrest will prevent the community from celebrating Rosh Hashanah together in a few weeks. In past years, the community has hosted festive meals and invited foreign dignitaries and non-Jewish Egyptians. Due to the curfew now being imposed by the army, however, they cannot meet in the synagogue. A rabbi set to fly in for the holiday has canceled his trip.
Still, the community is providing support to the army's campaign. When a call went out for Egyptians to donate to the government, the 14 Jewish women in Egypt decided to scrounge together what they could.

The poor sailor shown here has nothing left but his fighting spirit and enough energy to flip off his foes one last time. The post card illustrated here is what I call positive propaganda. I define positive propaganda as propaganda that is boosting your side by highlighting your virtues. In this case the German Fighting Spirit. Other positive German propaganda cards show battles being won, happy troops in the field and at home, royalty doing their duty to support the war effort etc. Negative propaganda on the other hand usually depict the enemy as inhumane or sub-human and is more often than not based on lies. The Germans were supposed to be masters of propaganda but from what I see here I doubt it. While this card shows an undefeatable fighting spirit it is also a German admission that they can be and were defeated in battle. If I were calling the shots back then that is something that I would not want to admit to anyone.

Six Careers That Are High In Salary, Short on School
a bachelor's isn't necessary to pursue these hot, high-paying careers.
By Danielle Blundell
Want to make a career switch to a
more lucrative field, but worried about starting from scratch in terms of
education requirements? We hear you loud and clear. Earning a degree can be a
strain on your time, energy, and money, so it's not a decision to take lightly.
But what if we told you that some
well-paying jobs might not require four long years of preparation in school?
It's true - you could spend as little as two years in school and pursue
a high-paying job upon completion.
To make your own career search a
little simpler, we've homed in on a few fields that are worth looking into for
their short-on-school, big-on-pay potential. Read on for our picks.
#1: Paralegal
Median Annual Salary*
Top 10 Percent of Earners
Bottom 10 Percent of Earners
Think you might have what it takes
to prepare facts and search for witnesses for a big case? Then a career as a
paralegal might be a good option for you. The best news of all? You could pursue
this path without ever stepping foot into law school and still manage to be
compensated quite nicely year after year.
What They Do: According
to the U.S. Department of Labor, paralegals might help lawyers stay on top of
duties such as drafting correspondence, preparing and filing documents for
court use, and conducting research for cases.
Why It Pays:
Even though paralegals don't go to law school, Cheryl Lynch Simpson, an
Ohio-based job search coach and owner of ExecutiveResumeRescue.com, points out
that a lot of the skills paralegals must possess are the same as lawyers
"Sometimes paralegals know more
about the given cases, because they've done all the prep and grunt work behind
the scenes, and the lawyer's the one that comes out to present in court,"
she says. "Because of that skill set, pay is high. It's a combination of
having that legal mind - being probing and investigative - and balancing just a
huge workload of research that involves critical thinking."
How To Prepare: According
to the Department of Labor, most paralegals have either an associate's degree
in paralegal studies or a bachelor's degree in a different field and a
certificate in paralegal studies. Some firms may hire candidates with
bachelor's degrees and then provide them with on-the-job related training, says
the Department.

That was the school requesting to play a second road game. Not the organizers telling a school that they would be breaking from pattern.
And theres a big difference between playing 2 road games in a row upon request, versus getting two home games in a row.
Not to mention that IU wasn't supposed to be very good that year. Wasn't exactly a big marquee game.
Why break from pattern, when you have both UNC and NC State which will offer great storylines.

By Eck! A Shipley baker has been forced to change the name of its jumbo posh scone or face the wrath of tearooms Bettys of Harrogate.
Award-winning commercial bakers Just Desserts introduced its Fat Rascals premium scone more than two and a half years ago.
But now the Station Road firm has crumbled at the stern request of the famous cafe tearoom.
And it has even had to change the style of its monster fruity fancy – now dubbed a Yorkshire Scallywag – so it looks less like its older rival. Customers need not worry though as the handcrafted Shipley scone is made to its original family recipe and still bulges with sultanas and cherries.
It has proved so popular in cafes, delis, farm shops and tea shops across the region that sales have double since January. Such is demand that it has made it on to the company's top 25 best-selling products list.
Managing director of Just Desserts, James O'Dwyer, said: "When we received notification from Bettys to stop using the Fat Rascals name, our bakery team rose to the challenge and eventually came up with a new name – Yorkshire Scallywags – which we think is a fitting description.
"We have also changed the look of our scone so that it does not resemble the appearance of the Bettys product.
"But they can't trademark taste and our customers love our 'posh scone with knobs on'!"
Just Desserts was established by Mr O'Dwyer and his wife Carol in 1985 when they baked their first handmade cake at the famous Salts Mill in Saltaire. It has since gained a first class reputation for providing the hospitality and food service industry with a range of premium desserts and quiche.
The company now employs 20 staff and moved to larger premises in Shipley in 1989 to meet demand, before expanding further in 2007, investing in the business to double the size of its base.
A Bettys spokesman said it had a duty to preserve the sanctity of its globally-loved superscone.
"We created the recipe and look of the Bettys Fat Rascal three decades ago and since then this plump, fruity and freshly baked scone has won a special place in the hearts of our customers.
"We've been advised to protect the Fat Rascal name for future generations of Bettys customers. It's what any business, large or small, would do," she said.

CTC-friendly Rushmoor Cycle Forum gathers the opinions of local election candidates
The RCF, an affiliate of CTC, has officially launched its local 'Space for Cycling' campaign. The campaign targets local election candidates and asks them to commit to Space for Cycling by assessing where they stand on key issues related to cycling in their ward.
The forum has produced a survey (see attached) which will be delivered to those running in the May 2014 elections. Some candidates running for control of each of the 13 wards of Rushmoor council, will be asked to indicate whether they would back specific cycle-friendly schemes planned within their ward. For instance, candidates for the West Heath Ward, are asked whether or not they would support improvements that would offer a safe route for cyclists at Prospect Road bridge.
Several of the topics of interest align with the CTC coordinated national Space for Cycling campaign with both CTC and those of the cycle forum looking to gain 20 mph speed limit in residential areas.
If you have any comments relating to the survey, you can ask them on the Rushmoor Cycle Forum.
Rushmoor Cycle Forum is open to individuals who have an interest in promoting all forms of cycling in the Borough of Rushmoor and with its adjoining neighbours. Membership is a varied cross-section of Rushmoor residents/employees, who are linked by a desire to facilitate the use of bikes for recreation and as a means of transport, the RCF has the following beliefs -
- UK's elected representatives have a key role in the campaigning process.
- Provisions for cycling shouldn't be specific to any type of cyclist
- Improvements to cycling conditions don't just benefit cyclists

Investing With Earl Weaver
It was a tough weekend: We lost two baseball legends Stan Musial and Earl Weaver. Although I respect and admire Musial, Weaver had the most profound effect on my life. I grew up with his Baltimore Orioles' teams and have adopted many parts of his baseball philosophy to my life and the markets over the years. One maxim in particular is applicable to the markets -- and especially the asset-based value investing approach I favor. Winning, according to Earl, is about good pitching, defense and three-run homers.
This is true in the markets as well. If we take the baseball analogy even further it was Warren Buffett who pointed out that investing is a game where you have unlimited strikes and can wait to swing at only the very best pitches. We can choose to miss all the new paradigms, technological breakthroughs and one hit wonder consumer stocks at nosebleed multiples. No one is going got make us close out our accounts if we pass on three consecutive overpriced IPOs. You don't lose your investing privileges for not chasing your broker's idea of the day.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court this a.m. upheld the state's same-sex marriage ban in a unanimous decision. A lawsuit alleged that the referendum on the state's 2006 constitutional amendment was improper because it dealt with both marriage and civil unions:
The court rejected a lawsuit that claimed the amendment violated a rule that limits referendum questions to a single subject. The lawsuit, filed by a voter opposed to the amendment, argued that gay marriage and civil unions were two different subjects.
Justice Michael Gableman says both sentences "carry out the same general purpose of preserving the legal status of marriage in Wisconsin as between only one man and one woman."
The plaintiffs in the Wisconsin case argued that some voters may oppose same-sex marriage but support civil unions. Therefore, they said, the referendum violated their free speech rights.
Texas, of course, has a similarly worded amendment. The 2005 Texas amendment bans both same-sex marriage and "any legal status identical or similar to marriage."


text: CWD problem showing no signs of going away By John McCoy February 9, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- At least for the moment, West Virginia's chronic wasting disease problem appears to be staying put.Sixteen more Eastern Panhandle deer tested positive last fall for the rogue protein that causes CWD, but none of the 16 was killed outside the area known to contain the disease.Jim Crum, deer project leader for the state Division of Natural Resources, said all of the deer that tested positive were killed by hunters during the state's buck firearm season."We collected [tissue] samples from 672 deer in Hampshire and Hardy counties, and from those we got the 16 positives," he said. "None of the animals that tested positive were showing any symptoms of the disease. They were carrying the abnormal [protein], but they weren't sick."By plotting the kill locations of all the CWD-positive deer they encounter, DNR biologists have been able to determine how prevalent the disease is and how widely it is distributed.The prevalence hasn't changed a lot, but the disease has become slightly more widespread every year since 2005, when the first case was discovered near Slanesville."We have had movement out from the Slanesville area, but we haven't had any big jumps," Crum said.When a deer tests positive, Crum and his colleagues draw a one-mile-radius circle around it on a map. By totaling up the areas of all the circles, they calculate the total area where the disease has been confirmed present. "That area has increased a little bit every year, but so far the increases have been slight," Crum said.This year's sample size was smaller than usual. A U.S. Department of Agriculture grant, which had funded a sizable chunk of the state's CWD research, ran out in September. Crum said DNR officials had no choice but to cut back their sampling efforts."In past years, we had sampled 1,100 to 1,200 hunter-killed animals every year," he said. "It takes $30 to test each sample, and that doesn't include our expense in manning the game-checking stations and collecting the samples. It's expensive. Without that grant, we couldn't afford to run as many samples as we usually do."The grant's expiration also affected the DNR's ability to collect additional samples in the spring."Usually we send out teams of sharpshooters and, with landowners' permission, shoot a number of additional deer for sampling. We won't be able to do that this year," Crum said.The spring samples will be missed because they gave biologists an idea of how widely distributed the disease had become among females."Almost all of the hunter-killed samples were bucks, and to balance the sampling effort we had to go out and collect those samples for ourselves," Crum explained. "Without the grant, we can only afford to do that once every five years." Even without the grant, though, Crum said DNR personnel would continue to collect samples from road-killed deer throughout the state, just as they have been doing since 2002, and just as they were doing when they found the first CWD case in 2005."We have to maintain that sampling to make sure [the disease] doesn't turn up somewhere else in the state," he said. "All of our district [wildlife biologists and game managers] have county quotas. They pick up road kills, take samples and get them tested. We plan to continue doing that so that if an animal tests positive, we can set up a containment area just as we've done in Hampshire and Hardy counties."

OK, I'm still nursing my wounds from Zupa's Ice Shards, sneaky frost wielding undead guy, jumping a tier… I didn't see that coming!
So I am going to step back to full range, and start with Larisa's Arcance Subtlety.
To be honest with my 10/48/3 (or Arcane 10, Fire 48, Frost 3 who haven't caught up with the shorthand) Classic Fire Raiding Spec I am done with Frost. There is another Fire Raiding Spec out there, commonly referred to as the Icy Veins Spec (2/48/11). The thing with this spec is it really doesn't come into play until you are over 1,100 + damage. OK, so I am, but I'm old (ok maybe not that old), and have stuck with the Classic spec. Remember you can always compare standard Spec's at Theorycraft-o-Matic by Lhivera.
However I am just beginning with Arcane.
Arcane Subtlety
OK, this is groovy, and is a part of either of the Raid Fire Specs mentioned above. It's handy for:
- The rare magic resistance on mobs – it doesn't occur that often to be too excited about, though there would be more benefit in PvP where the opposition will be sporting some level of resistance gear.
- Reduces the threat from your Arcane spells. But I'm fire right, what has that got to do with me?
- Occasionally you will be playing with tank that is struggling to get initial aggro (hopefully not because of you). So a couple of Arcance blasts with reduced aggro means you are on the meters, and starting to bring the mob down, but also building more room to go all out with your true killer spells.
- It is also good for a bit of Arcane Explosion spam. Now let's face it, you are going to pull aggro anyway, unless someone is doing something special to get the mobs attention (Tankadin anyone?), but it may make the difference of allowing 1 or 2 more explosions to go out before you get shredded.
Moving on, with a quick stop at the Frost tree.
I notice that Zupa negleted to mention a couple of talents in his haste to get to Ice Shards (How did he get to Tier 2 without 5 point in Tier 1?)
- Frost Warding: Yeah rubbish, no wonder he skipped it.
- Improved Frostbolt: Who would cast frost bolts when you can cast fireballs? Mind you .5 off a Frostbolt has to be good, but I will let him tell me why.
Ice Shards
Zupa says:
20% increased crit damage per talent point spent, with 5 points available. Essential for all frost specs.
It sounds pretty good to me.. I believe Crit is a Frost Mage's bread and butter, so I would be very surpised if there are any Frost mages out there without it. Tell me Zupa, I keep reading/hearing that Crit is a Frost Mages best friend… so what happens now with all the resilience gear floating around?
Anyway.. enough time spent on Ice, let's talk Fire!
Ohhhh Ahhh a stunned target.
But as I am sure my wife would say about me.. useless 90% of the time… but when I'm good that 10% of the time, I am very good.
So let's have a closer look.
10% of your fire spells will effectively root the target in place. From memory this applies to all fire spells, maybe even ticks on those DoT components. It will proc off Molten Armor , but you aren't getting that spell early in your leveling.
Leveling: Ignore it. It looks great, but it just don't cut it. You already have enough points to go to the next teir legitimately (glance at Zupa), so go for something else.
Raiding: Ignore it, it's far too unreliable and a waste of 5 points. Also, I have had the odd complaint from tanks (back when I was spec'ed into it), because if you get an (un)lucky proc at the start of the fight, that mob isn't hitting the tank, which means the tank isn't generating aggro.
PvP: OK, PvP is a different story, so it might be worth considering. Why slow a opponent, when you can stun them? If you are running around with Molten armor you are a stunning machine… well ok, 10% of the time.
So a quick look back through the last couple of posts from a fire mage perspective.
Arcane Subtlety: You have to have it as a raiding mage, but can ignore it for a while during the leveling process. You will want to get it to reach the higher Arcane talents if you go classic fire raiding spec.
Improved Fireball: You have to get it, it's no brainer. In fact it will be your first 5 talent points anyway. You will use it all the way to the end.
Elemental Precision: Once again, essential for the raiding Mage. OK, maybe not essential, but it's worth the money. You need this to help you hit mobs that are higher level than you, and you would rather invest in extra +damage or +stamina gear than in extra +Spell Hit gear.
On a side note, unless Blizzard have nurfed the "bug", fire spells effectively get 3% spell Hit, but Frost Mages get 6% Spell Hit… Yep, another 2 for-the-price-of-one for Frost Mages. That means that Frost mages can invest even more in +damage stats (but hey, let's face it, they need all the help they can get!)
Anyway.. that's enough psuedo-theorycrafting from me.. I will be back in a few days with more once I recover from the next salvo of Arcane and Frost.
Gnomer and Out!
