New Year's Day in Hell
It was New Year's Day in Hell and Lulu, the Devil's mistress, was in a temper. A month ago, she had bought a pair of expensive black leather trousers and now she could hardly fit into them. So she rang Igor, the one-eyed hunchback.
"Igor, get me some diet advice. I need to lose weight, fast!"
Igor couldn't remember anyone having a weight problem in Hell, at least not in the last 10,000 years. Starvation? Yes. That was quite normal, but overweight? Never. He hadn't a clue where to start so he rang up his friend Doctor Death, who was in his laboratory dissecting newts.
Death knew exactly what to do.
"It's very simple. If she wants to lose weight, she must eat less food. So put her on a diet of gruel and chopped carrot. That'll get the weight off!"
He was right, of course. Lulu lost 7 poundsin a fortnight and her trousers fitted her perfectly. Unfortunately, she never got the chance to try them on because she developed boils. Huge, nasty, red boils! Why? Because the lack of food and nutrition in her diet had undermined her immune system leaving her wide open to infection.
Happily, she recovered. But it took weeks for her system to return to normal. What's more, while she was bedridden with her boils, the Devil had run off with another woman. So as soon as Lulu recovered she was dragged off to eternal damnation.
Zora, the Devil's new woman was a cool size 8, but it wasn't long before her lifestyle as Hell's First Lady began to make her fat. Indeed, by the time of the AIDS Celebration Ball in May, she had put on 30 pounds. So she rang Death who arrived clutching a huge book.
"Use this" he said. "It lists all foods together with their calories. Eat anything you like, as long as you limit yourself to about 1000 calories a day."
Zora was thrilled and for 3 weeks she followed the calorie limit exactly.
She had a cup of tea for breakfast, 3 cookies mid-morning, a pastry and coleslaw for lunch and a small fry-up for tea. It wasn't enough to satisfy her but she gritted her teeth and kept going. Result? She lost 7 pounds. But this weight-loss was strictly short-term. Why? Because she wasn't learning new eating habits. All she was doing was adding up calories. In other words, she wasn't retraining herself to enjoy less fattening foods. She was just eating the same old junk, albeit in smaller quantities.
The crunch came in week 4. On Monday she mislaid the calorie-book and by Tuesday she was eating junk. Result? Within a fortnight she had regained everything she'd lost. Not long afterwards Igor arrived with an axe and chopped off her head. Brutal? Perhaps. But it was Hell, after all.
So girls, if you ever end up in Hell as the Devil's mistress and you need to lose weight, don't bother going on a crash diet and don't depend on counting calories. Because in my experience, neither of these methods work. The only effective way to lose weight for good is to retrain yourself to eat tasty non-fattening foods. It may take a little extra time but it works.

n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate…
"A library in the middle of a community is a cross between an emergency exit, a life raft and a festival. They are cathedrals of the mind; hospitals of the soul; theme parks of the imagination. On a cold, rainy island, they are the only sheltered public spaces where you are not a consumer, but a citizen, instead. A human with a brain and a heart and a desire to be uplifted, rather than a customer with a credit card and an inchoate "need" for "stuff." A mall—the shops—are places where your money makes the wealthy wealthier. But a library is where the wealthy's taxes pay for you to become a little more extraordinary, instead. A satisfying reversal. A balancing of the power."

If James Marshall started the Gold Rush, it could be said James K. Polk got it into high gear.
Polk became president in 1844. He won the Democratic nomination only after delegates could not agree on any other candidate, and then only after he agreed not to seek a second term. Largely a political unknown outside his native Tennessee, Polk narrowly defeated Henry Clay in the general election.
As chief executive, Polk had a clear agenda for expanding the country. He particularly coveted California, even though he never set foot in it, and was willing to buy it from Mexico. But Mexico didn't want to sell. So Polk provocatively put a small American army on the border, a Mexican force attacked it, and the Mexican War was on.
In the aftermath of the war and the ceding of vast areas by Mexico to the United States, Polk found himself scathingly criticized for its high cost. So when a report came from California in late 1848 that gold had been found, Polk was quick to seize on it as further, if after-the-fact, justification of the war.
"The accounts of the abundance of gold in that territory are of such an extraordinary character as would scarcely command belief, were they not corroborated by the authentic reports of officers in the public service," Polk said in a message to Congress in December 1848.
Prior to Polk's address, many people believed the discovery of gold was just another Western fable. In those days, however, people still believed presidents. Polk's words made it official: The Gold Rush was on in earnest.
But Polk did not live to see it at its height. The president who launched a hundred thousand prospectors died of cholera in June 1849, a few months after leaving office.

Appendix for the PPP hypothesis and structural breaks: the case of Mexico
AbstractThis appendix presents an extended explanation for our finding of mean reversion of the real exchange rate to a shifting mean using monthly data for Mexico, 1969-2010. Because such shifts coincide with trade liberalization in Mexico, we conclude that changes in the tradable/nontradable goods composition of the price index used in the empirical estimations caused the mean shifts.

One of many worst things that can be done is to take on a project that you do not have the cost for. You may avoid anxiety and stress with this particular approach. When replacing kitchen countertops, it is far from always necessary to get what's commonly popular. Although tiles may look clean and fresh, scrubbing the grout can be quite a difficult job. These other materials may cost less and stay better looking. Now you are aware of the things you need to help make interior organising a reality in your lifetime, you need to ask around for more tips. Get yourself a second opinion prior to starting, then proceed along with your plans.

Group of Packers joins Team Gleason in ALS fightPosted by on January 28, 2013 – 2:04 pm
Four Packers — Head Coach Mike McCarthy, QB Aaron Rodgers, LB Clay Matthews and C Jeff Saturday — contributed to the production of a new PSA to raise awareness of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ALS, a disease that afflicts former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason.
You can view the PSA on Gleason's "Team Gleason" website right here.
Gleason played for the Saints when McCarthy was offensive coordinator there. DB Charles Woodson also is participating in the effort, but he wasn't featured in this first video release. Woodson is expected to be shown in an upcoming video.

Thank you for supporting a worthy cause.

And people truly believe there is an Almighty. After seeing this video, I can safely slip into atheism without remorse.

@Tarlam That's a uneducated statement,let's get something straight here, I'm pretty sure Steve Gleason's ALS was caused by playing Football,he chose to play in the NFL,God gave everyone on earth free will,God didn't plan for Gleason to have that disease nor for any other disease,tragedies or syndromes.
When Adam and Eve sinned,they sinned for all of us and Evil and Death entered the world causing pain and suffering.
In conclusion,it isn't GOD's fault,if you're gonna blame someone,blame SATAN!

Wow kyannalashae, you are right on!!! Sure didn't know Tarlam was lost.

I'm proud to be a packer fan and of the guys that supported Steve's efforts. I lost my wife of 37 years after a 17 month fight with ALS. Keep up the good work!

This is cool! We lost NFL great Pete Duranko to ALS just recently. He spent a lot of his time fundraising and raising awareness about ALS and was a great man!
By Eden Le Bouton on Feb 8, 2013 | Reply
I'm glad the Packers and the other football players and coaches are recognizing ALS. My dad died from ALS in 1977 when all of us kids were young. He is buried in Neenah with other family members. I visit them on the way to Green Bay. If you support charities consider one of the many that fight ALS. They have discovered a lot over the years.

30 Day Video Game Challenge
Day 17: Favorite protagonist.
Starkiller (Galen Marek, Star Wars TFU)
Let's face it, he was cool. He stood up to Darth Vader and he was a badass. I loved his character and his story, it was interesting and full of surprises. And the fact that he fell in love with Juno was nice, though I wish they were more together in the games, but never mind.

Ten Seasonal-Transition Spa Ideas For A Fresh-Faced Fall
Photo: Courtesy of Kiehl's Spa 1851
The end of summer is nigh—a harsh fact we discovered this week when we turned our Moleskine calendar page to find August staring back at us. And though summer may be flying by at an astonishing rate, the season's effects on our hair, skin, and feet—broken and brittle, spotty and splotchy, dry and callused, respectively—have been just as speedy about making themselves apparent. But there's a spa treatment for that—all of it. Here, the latest treatments designed to address all of your summer-born beauty woes.—Fiorella Valdesolo
What: The Sweet Cream Pedicure
Where: Spa Merge, 102 W. 57th St., (646) 484-4104, www.spamerge.com
Why: Merge's newest pedicure is pretty sweet—quite literally. Using products by the Texas-based organic brand Farmhouse Fresh, the 60-minute treatment starts with a foot soak in the scent of your favorite ice cream flavor (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, black cherry, coconut cream), then segues into an exfoliating vanilla scrub and chocolate leg mask. Finally, gams are moisturized with a steady stream of sweet cream body milk poured from a carafe. Should all those sugary scents leave you craving some edible confections, the pedicure comes with a gratis bowl of ice cream to enjoy while you get pampered.
What: Biologique Recherche Remodeling Facial
Where: The Peninsula Spa, 700 Fifth Ave., (212) 956-2888, www.peninsula.com
Why: In a match made in beauty heaven, the French luxury skincare brand Biologique Recherche has set up shop, or rather, spa, in one of New York's best digs: the Peninsula Hotel. The new 60-minute Remodeling Facial exfoliates, hydrates, and uses micro-current technology to reshape and lift—a serious boost for skin weary from too much time in the sun.
What: Red Island Ritual
Where: Decleor at the Lanphier Day Spa, 20 West Ave., Darien, CT, (203) 656-4444; www.lanphierdayspa.com
Why: Fans of Decleor will be pleased to learn that the aromatherapeutic brand has finally bestowed New York—all right, Connecticut—with its very own spa. Unsurprisingly, it's worth the Metro North ride—particularly for its newest end-of-summer menu addition. The Red Island Ritual is inspired by Madagascar and incorporates products from Decleor's aptly named Relax Intense collection. Thirty minutes of exfoliation using a blend of essential oils, fruit powders, and spices is followed by a 30-minute massage using its signature aromatic balms and an acacia wood massage roller.
What: Advanced Marine Biology Facial
Where: La Prairie Spa, the Ritz Carlton, 50 Central Park South, (212) 308-9100, www.ritzcarlton.com
Why: Any treatment that involves a head massage gets high marks from us; throw in a foot massage and we are basically in heaven. Both show up in La Prairie's blissful new Advanced Marine Biology Facial. Lest you forget this is a marine-themed treatment, you are splayed out on a warm water-filled Hydramat, which besides feeling totally awesome, also relieves back tension. In addition to plenty of the brand's Advanced Marine Biology products, you can also expect a soothing cold stone facial massage and a hot stone version for hands and feet.
Photo: Courtesy of Butterfly Studio
What: Kérastase Fusio-Dose Treatment
Where: Butterfly Studio Salon, 149 Fifth Ave., 2nd fl., (212) 253-2100, www.butterflystudiosalon.com
Why: Kérastase has a particular knack for whipping up totally luxuriating hair treatments, and its latest version doesn't disappoint. Called Fusio-Dose, it is perhaps the most customizable offering yet: After examining hair dryness, color sensitization, strength, and overall density, your stylist will concoct, or, ahem, fuse the ideal formula for your particular hair needs. And should the issues, like ours, be multifaceted, boosters can easily be added to the treatment.
What: Purifying Back Treatment at The Cornelia Spa
Where: The Surrey, 20 E. 76th St., (646)358-3600, www.corneliaspaatthesurrey.com
Why: Many a spa devotee was remiss to see the Cornelia Spa shut its midtown Manhattan doors a few years back. Good news though; it's back and at a very covetable address, namely the Upper East Side's Surrey Hotel. Everything on the new spa menu is highly bookable, but the ideal end-of-summer panacea is the purifying back treatment, which addresses the dry skin, clogged pores, and yes, blemishes that come after months of sun, sweat, and sea.
Photo: Courtesy of Red Door Spa
What: Red Door Oxygen Infusion Facial
Where: The Chatwal, 130 W. 44th St., (212) 764-5900, www.reddoorspas.com
Why: There is a new red door in town and it's at the Chatwal hotel in midtown. The legendary Fifth Avenue spa just opened its second New York space, bringing along all of its signature high-performance skincare treatments. At the top of that list is its Intraceuticals Oxygen Infusion Facial, which just so happens to be Madonna's go-to skincare secret—and it's not hard to see why: The instant replenishing, glow-inducing effects of the service's collagen serum blasted with pressurized oxygen does wonders for a dry, tired complexion.
What: Firm, Baby, Firm Facial
Where: Available September 1 at Bliss Spas nationwide, (877) TO-BLISS, www.blissworld.com
Why: Making good use of Bliss' brand-new Firm, Baby, Firm Serum, this results-driven facial is geared toward skin that's, well, feeling and looking pretty down. The uplifting comes thanks to a combination of microdermabrasion, soothing masks, and a microcurrent-driven light therapy that boosts collagen and addresses muscle tone.
What: The Ultimate Body Restoration
Where: Kiehl's Spa 1851, 157 E. 64th St., (888) 772-1851, www.kiehls.com
Why: If you really want to give your body a head-to-toe reboot, this treatment is the one for you. The two and a half hours of total euphoria include a customized sugar or salt exfoliating body scrub, a slathering of the brand's Restorative Argan Treatment, a mummy-like parafango wrap, then a 60-minute massage. Drool.
What: Moroccan Red Clay Treatment
Where: Available September 1 at Cecilia Wong Skincare, 224 Fifth Ave, 3rd fl., (917) 596-5206, www.ceciliawongskincare.com
Why: The holistic facialist created this natural treatment especially for sun-damaged skin. Besides the star ingredient, Moroccan red clay, she uses a mix of cherries and yogurt to hydrate the skin, followed by a lymphatic massage and a soothing once-over with a cool jade roller.

You pretty much highlighted one reason I don't see myself doing arenas. I don't care for PvP enough to get any piece of PvP gear or respec into a PvP spec (as my two specs are taken with PvE specs); my only pieces of PvP gear are drops from VoA where no one else benefited from the gear. Besides, my only involvement with PvP is doing some seasonal event achievements and farming honor for the mounts.
Without feeling like I would have at least almost equal chances against someone of similar skill without having to go to the trouble of getting a new set of gear and constantly respeccing I don't feel like even trying out arenas. I might try some if the arena tournament was both free and available where I live (as there players have evenly matched gear and don't have to worry about juggling PvE specs), but with the current way arenas work, I'm not willing to go against the initial handicap of not having PvP gear and the hassle of having to respec.

This powerful slingshot makes it easier than ever to hit the bullseye. The Marksman sling shot has a steel handle and a tapered band gives 30 percent greater velocity with less effort.

Director Harry Cohen reports:
The fourth and final round of the 2013 Maryland Chess League was played yesterday at Bloomsbury Community Center (sorry again about the late start).
The Fells Point Fischermen defeated the Past Pawns to win the Open Section for 2013. Morphy's Mojo defeated the Coral Reef to tie for second place.
The Fells Point Pirates defeated :Laurel to win the Under 1900 Section on tie breaks. They scored 10.5 points in their four matches vs. 9.5 by Laurel). They also won their head-to-head match. (I should have made clear the tie break rules at the start of the season. Lucky for me, the same team won on both points and head-to-head. Next year, we'll use head-to-head as the first tie break and points scored in matches as the second tie break if the teams did not play or drew their match).
The Knights Who Say NIH won their match to come in clear third in the Under 1900. Also, the Quaker Woodpushers, which started the season with four unrated players, won their match.
If the font in this email is too small for you to read, there's a good chance you qualify for the Maryland Senior Championship
on May 18
and 19. It's open to those born before May 18, 1963 and will be played at the Bloomsbury Community Center. See the Catonsville Chess Club web site for details.
Have a good summer and hope to see you again in the 2014 Maryland Chess League.

Mystery Checks in the Mail
Published on - October 27th, 2007 (by J.D. Roth)
Earlier this month, Julie warned us that Macy's had flipped her store card and sold her data to Citibank. I recently experienced something similar.
A few months ago, I received some "advance checks" in the mail from Bank of America. You know the ones — the kind of checks your credit card uses to entice you so take a cash advance. The problem was, I don't have an account with Bank of America. I did once, but I closed it in December of 1998
I shredded the checks and didn't think much about it.
A few weeks ago, I received a second batch of advance checks in the mail from Bank of America. This made me a little concerned. I took a closer look. They had my name and address correct, but the account number didn't match any I'd ever had with any financial institution. I thought about calling the toll-free number, but didn't.
I shredded the checks, but then wished I had actually called to see what was going on.
Today I received a third batch of checks. Because I'm not completely stupid, I stopped in my tracks and dialed the toll-free number. This account had $7,500 of available credit. Apparently the last payment was made on 20 January 2005.
I fired up Quicken and dug through my old accounts. During the first few months of 2005, I had been in full Debt Snowball mode. I was paying off debts left and right. I wondered if this mysterious account was related to one of those old debts.
I waited on hold for twenty minutes. When I finally spoke to a live human being, I had barely begun to explain the situation when he interrupted me. "I'll bet you used to have an account with MBNA," he said. "I show here that you bought something from Apple Computer in 2004. When we merged with MBNA, we took over this account."
Aha! So that was it. "But I thought the account was closed," I said.
"No sir," he said.
Well, it is now…
In retrospect, I've learned several things from this experience:
- When I'm finished with a loan account, such as the one I'd used to purchase my last desktop computer, I'm going to close the account. Yes, my credit score may be dinged, but I don't care. Better that than mystery checks.
- When something strange comes in the mail, I'm not going to just ignore it. If I don't know what it is, I'm going to do my best to find some answers.
- I'm actually going to establish a routine for checking my credit reports. I've been using one free check every few moths, but I don't really have a system. My last check was on April 26th. I'll do my next check on November 1st, and then do one every four months thereafter. (Read more about your free annual credit reports.)
Finally, I'm not going to be afraid to buy top-of-the-line Macintosh products. Though this seems completely unrelated, I'm sure, the computer I bought with the original account is still going strong after four years. Not bad!

I had a similar experience with Bank of America. I started receiving checks from Bank of America and tied it back to an MBNA line of credit that I had closed two years prior – I even had the confirmation letter from MBNA stating that the account was closed, and a copy of their refund check (I had actually overpaid by about $100 when I finally paid off the MBNA account).
I was, and still am, very concerned that their tendency to "accidentally" reactivate closed accounts does not reflect positively on their security measures to protect my personal data.
I had a similar issue with a Foley's card, which became a Macy's card. I worked for Foley's years ago, and the employee discount program was managed as a percentage off on the Foley's credit account. After I left Foley's, I closed the account – or so I thought. After checking my credit report, I noticed a line that made no sense – and after some Googling, I found out that it was this account, which was converted when Foley's became Macy's.
As for the credit reports, I check both mine and my wife's on our anniversary (well, around our anniversary… I'm usually a little preoccupied with wooing her), and I've got a "recurring event" in my calendar to remind me each year.
And as entertaining as the guitar-playing pirate on TV is, don't use freecreditreport.com – instead, use the TRULY free credit report: AnnualCreditReport.com. The great thing about this website is, if you can't remember the last time you got your credit report, you can log in and try again, and it will let you know how long it's been, since you only get 1 per year per agency.
And finally, Bank of America's (and Capital One!) stupid "courtesy checks" need to be stopped! I hate those things!
I hate those checks in the mail also. I have a chase visa and every few months they send me blank checks with my statements. Worst yet, they write on the envelope "check inside". I always shred them as soon as I get them but I often wonder what would happen if someone decided to use one of my checks??!! Anyway, I don't have long to worry. My Christmas gift to myself will be to shred my last two credit cards…no more statements, no more checks in the mail! I'll be debt FREE!
On another note, I do use the annualcreditreport.com and I try to check my report every 4 months using a different agency each time.
This is just as bad as another practice that closes accounts without you knowing! It's a very good plan to have your credit report checks on a schedule.
It actually really bothers me that they can do this sort of thing. All the more reason not to use CC I guess! Or to just get down to having only one.
I agree that checking your Credit report every 4 months is a good idea by spreading the 3 credit bureaus over 12 months. Also don't forget to call and let them know your new address every time you move. You certainly don't want someone else receiving those blank checks in the mail !!
I never get "advance checks" but apparently my name has found its way onto a number of interesting mailing lists: I get stuff from Fisher Investments, Donald Trump, and Robert Kiyosaki, plus tickets to a variety of seminars where something overpriced will be pitched.
I had to call BofA recently as well. I had a credit card with them years ago that I never use. A few months ago they sent me a new credit card with a new account number. I never activated it. Then I got some of those advance checks and finally decided I needed to take care of it. Fortunately I wasn't on hold long, but it is very troublesome to me that they would issue a card I never applied for. They didn't offer any explanation, either, when I asked to close the account.
I'm moving overseas in January and am strongly considering closing my BofA account. I don't want to risk them sending credit cards and advance checks in my name to total strangers at my old address.
I hate those unsolicited blank checks! I mean, they would be great if they didn't debit from a credit account that I own…
Discover sends me a batch of those every few months. I should really call them to see if I can get them to stop sending them. Just seems like an invitation for someone to steal my mail and run up illegitimate charges on my (rarely-used) account.
just call them to cancel sending those checks. second, when you close an account, request a confirmation letter.
I had a mysterious charge show up on my credit card bill from WLI*RESERVATIONREWARDS after digging around on the Internet I learned this -> http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/119/ripoff0119840.htm
Apparently a company sold my data to them and they automatically enrolled me into a subscription program. I quickly called my credit card company and got the charge reversed. Weird stuff.
About the free credit reports: The easiest system for me is on my birthday, I just get a copy of all three. Probably not the most protective use of my 3 free reports, but if you make it a habit on your birthday you are probably never going to forget it.
"I had a mysterious charge show up on my credit card bill from WLI*RESERVATIONREWARDS after digging around on the Internet "
I had this problem too. Looked over my bill and noticed a charge I couldn't figure out and didn't have a receipt for. I got their phone number from my credit card company to find out what it was, then called them directly. They claimed I signed up for it even if I didn't remember doing so. They reversed it and cancelled the whole thing. I've never realized it when I could've possibly signed up for it, I never sign up for these silly things. Thanks for the link – this is probably how they got me, I had reserved a hotel with Expedia at around the same time.
As to credit reports, I try to spread out getting credit reports throughout the year, so every 4 months I get a report from one agency. I do forget occasionally, but at least I can verify that there is no fraud every 4 months.
If you call your credit card bank, they will stop sending the checks if you request it. Years ago, I requested Chase to stop sending them, they did.
These credit card companies/banks are so evil! It really bothers me how these new accounts 'mysteriously' appear.
FinanceAndFat: I wouldn't go as far as saying that they're evil, but some of them really do have some questionable practices. It's also curious to see this kind of checks filling up the mail universe while credit card companies offer "premium identity protection" services. They wouldn't be, by any chance, trying to improve our chances of having an identity stolen by sending so much sensitive information so frequently just so they'll have more customers for those "premium" services? Just a thought.
I opened a store credit card 16 years ago during my first year of college, used it once and never thought about it again. Two years ago, as part of my efforts to get my financial life in order, I checked my credit report. Lo and behold, that account is still there. Now it's almost impossible to close since the store is out of business.
Never just "forget" about old accounts. Make sure they are closed. Actually, a better lesson learned is to never open these accounts in the first place. Focus on one to three good credit cards which you intend to keep for a very long time.

Recommended Foundry Missions Sticky?
Looking around the internet I've not found much even in the way of informal info on playing KDF and with my Klingon alt around lc5, I'm not entirely sure what would be worth doing. I'd really like to have a thread where people post suggestions on fun foundry missions to play and general suggestions on things to do. So, any ideas? I've only done those sorties alpha and beta a couple times and am not sure I want to do them anymore.
"Sins of the Son," which was ok I guess. Fairly generic space-ground-space groups, except for a chief medical officer who could heal himself from next to nothing to full almost instantly. It took a long time to get lucky with all the right criticals from my away team to take him down.....
"Jail Break" was more fun, space then ground with good environments and dialog at the end.
"Red Omens" is a short setup for more episodes. It goes for a slight horror vibe, which isn't what you'd expect from Star Trek, but was well made with excellent use of environmental effects.

Prolaz, project about the continuous change experienced in the Balkans over the last years. It's about the complexity of the human condition during the region's transition toward democracy. It's a personal view on the tension and the contradiction occurring here.
I started my journey in 2004 from Istanbul, I decided to start from Turkey, to capture the influence of Ottoman Empire in the Balkans.
And continue in subsequent years in different cities and surroundings from Albania, Bosnia, Bucharest, Croatia, Hezegovina, Kosovo, Istanbul, Macedonia, Montenegro, Sofia, Serbia, Skopje, Thessaloniki.
A land of unsure boundaries, where opposites both attract and repel each other. The last decade has violently changed the physical and psychological dimension of these towns, evolving them into a nationalist drama and perhaps the conclusion of an irreversible sense of their own being. Nevertheless, there are vibrant feelings of hope and fear, stemming from the people's conflicting sense of their cultural heritage.

A Good Samaritan was killed and her twin sister injured while trying to help a broken down motorist in Jackson Friday morning.
The accident happened around 9 a.m. on Highway 80 near Wiggins Road. Police say three people were pushing a Dodge Avenger out of the eastbound lanes when a Shelter Insurance Ford Escape smashed them from behind.
According to the Hinds County Coroner's office 30-year-old Kyeuna Vance was killed and her twin sister was injured. The sister's condition is not known, but she was taken to the hospital.
The third pedestrian was reportedly so shaken he wandered from the scene, and police are looking for him.
The driver of the Ford was also taken to the hospital.
Police said the driver of the Ford Escape was "distracted" when he hit the broken down vehicle. Authorities did not reveal the nature of the distraction but said there could be criminal charges.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
A point that you addressed in your post that is often overlooked as Blizzard complains about what it "can't do" for WoW is that the game is a huge cash cow for them. It would strongly seem that they are not putting most of the income from it back into the game to improve it, but using that for many other things and profit for the company.
Some profit is great and a very good idea, but they need to realize they need massive ongoing investment in the product, licensed or not, to keep people engaged. Making excuses won't cut it and losing a lot of subs will cost far more than the money saved by not investing in challenging content.
This is not to say they don't invest in the product, but I am getting the distinct impression it is nowhere near the income they make off of it. Your post just reinforced that view.
As someone already said in the comments, when Blizzard doesn't have resources for something it's very unlikely that they're referring to funding.
It takes more than money to make a game. It takes a lot of man hours, and a lot of employees. Not just any employees, either. Skilled professionals with experience and a strong work ethic.
Blizzard pays good salaries, has internship and recruitment programs, and always has several positions open.
It's just one of those problems you can't throw money at to fix, especially if you're looking to produce a top-notch product. Short of cloning designers or building a time machine, there ARE concrete limits to the amount of resources you can invest in game design.
Are you really going to stand behind the idea that Blizzard could not find the people they need? Perhaps they need to pay a higher salary for the positions. The supply of people is not unlimited, but it is not as constrained as you indicate.
It all comes down to dollars and cents for businesses. They decide how much to spend. If they really wanted more people they would spend more on recruiting and such. Most companies always have a few open positions, even those with hiring freezes, so that doesn't prove anything. Turnover happens.
Innovating is far more important than I think many in upper management realize. That tends to happen when you lack serious competition. They do need to keep in mind that other MMOs are not the only competition though.

Candy Corn
Recipe courtesy of Alton Brown
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2010
- Good Eats
- Total Time:
- 1 hr 10 min
- Prep:
- 45 min
- Inactive:
- 20 min
- Cook:
- 5 min
- Yield:
- 60 to 80 pieces
- Level:
- Intermediate
- 4 1/2 ounces powdered sugar, approximately 1 1/4 cups
- 1/2 -ounce nonfat dry milk, approximately 6 1/2 teaspoons
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 1/2 ounces granulated sugar, approximately 1/2 cup
- 3 3/4 ounces light corn syrup, approximately 1/3 cup
- 2 1/2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 drops yellow and orange gel paste food coloring
Combine the powdered sugar, dry milk and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 4 to 5 times until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set aside.
Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a 2-quart pot. Put over medium heat, cover and cook for 4 minutes. Add the butter, clip on a candy thermometer, and bring the mixture to 230 degrees F, about 1 to 2 minutes. When the sugar syrup reaches 230 degrees F, take the pot off the heat and remove the thermometer. Add the vanilla and the dry mixture, stirring continuously with a silicone spatula until well combined. Pour onto a half sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat. Cool until the mixture is cool enough to handle, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Add 2 drops of yellow food coloring to 1 piece and knead the dough until the color is consistent throughout. Add 2 drops of orange to the second piece, and knead until the color is consistent throughout. Leave the third piece white. Roll each piece of dough into a strand, about 18-inches long. Cut each strand in half.
Roll 1 of the white pieces into a strand that is about 1/2-inch thick and about 22-inches long. Repeat with a yellow piece and orange piece. Lay the strands side by side and press them together using your fingers. Cut the strand into 4-inch pieces. Lay the strands, 1 at a time, onto the silicone mat and press into a wedge shape, like a triangle. Use a wire butter slicer to cut the candies into pieces. If you don't have a wire butter slicer, use a knife, metal bench scraper or pizza cutter to slice the dough into small pieces. Repeat the procedure with remaining dough. Lay the finished pieces on a piece of parchment or waxed paper to dry for 1 hour. Store in an airtight container with parchment paper between each layer.

Second time I made it. layed the dough out on my silicone sheet, waited almost 10 minutes, still too hot but... added the food coloring and it all began to crackle up in my hands.. tastes good though :-
I'll try again tomorrow night. thinking that I shouldn't bring the heat all the way to 230 deg???? ...
The only issue I had was that as the dough cooled off & became too stiff to roll. I put it in the microwave at the LOWEST power for 3 to 5 seconds (no more of you will have a goopy mess in your microwave. The dough softened up and I was able to roll & shape it just fine. ...
I also added about a tablespoon of honey to the wet mixture and it turned out just like store bought.
Cut each piece by hand and then shaped it.
It was a lot of work and I don't think I would do it again, but I'm glad I did it. ...
A great holiday variation: substitute the vanilla with a combination of 1/4 tsp of vanilla and 1/4 tsp of peppermint extract, and color as desired for whatever winter holiday you like. (I tried just peppermint, and it was missing something. The combo of vanilla and peppermint was a great balance. ...
- NEVER use teflon coated pots. Use a stainless steel pot. Many will disagree with me, but trust me, your sugar will crystallize sooo much better.
- Altitude affects temperature when making candy. Reduce the desired temperature by 2 degrees per 1,000 feet of altitude over 1,000. I spent the last 10 years living at 6400 feet, so all my candy making recipes I reduced by 11 degrees.
- Humidity affects candy making. It's best to make candy when it is dry out, the lower the humidity, the better.
- Margarine does not equal butter. Don't use margarine in candy making when the recipe calls for butter. Margarine has a much higher water content than butter and can be the primary cause of "goop" syndrome!
Hope this helps some!
Thank you! your flag was submitted.

"I just finished the "Buttons" book. I have to admit it was the first nonfiction book I've read through since college. It has totally changed the way I parent. It's so much more pleasant to be a parent now. I'm calmer, better focused, and better prepared to handle things. My 9-year-old and I have a much better relationship. We are better able to communicate and actually think about the other person."
—mother of a nine & two-year-old
"You don't realize what a godsend your book is. I was lent your book by a friend, and let me say, you have hit the nail on the head!!! I am the mother of a spirited four year old daughter, and have struggled for a while. I cannot tell you emphatically enough how your book is helping me…it has moved me to tears more than once. Never more have I understood "the child is the father to the man."
—mother of a four-year-old
"I have read your book and already the thinking has changed in our home — and both my husband and I are trying to deal with the emotion behind the behavior rather than just the behavior - and it helps. We've had a couple of real shining moments and many with more clarity than we've had in a long while. I feel hopeful!"
—mother of two boys, 8 & 11
"I just finished reading "When Kids Push Your Buttons…" and I am so glad that I did! I was laughing on page one… I am a doctoral level psychologist in Massachusetts with a 2 year old son who has been pushing my buttons so badly I've perceived myself as a terrible parent. I need to re-read the book with a highlighter in my hand. I will definitely recommend to parents I see in my practice."
