Affair is a script design that started in a library in New York while the designer was on his honeymoon. Seduced by the font in an obscure book he found on the shelves, he set about expanding it to include the ornate and swirly font you see above. If fonts bring you joy, then this would be on par with homemade caramel fudge, icecream on a hot summer's day or a cuddling in front of the fire with your partner. As the designer says, "I hope this Affair can bring you as much peace and satisfaction as it brought me, and I hope it can help your imagination soar like mine did when I was doing my duty for beauty".

Please write a personal letter to Mother Caitanya Rupini4,422 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » Please write a personal letter to Mother Caitanya Rupini
Dear Devotees:
As I hope you are aware, last November Her Grace Caitanya Rupini devi dasi of Turkmenistan (legal name: Cheper Annaniyazova) was convicted by a Turkmen court of crimes both specified and unspecified and sentenced to 7 years imprisonment in a labor camp in northern Turkmenistan. The selective prosecution of Caitanya Rupini along with the courts refusal to acknowledge exculpatory evidence or reveal the nature of some of the charges against her support the generally held belief that her case is politically motivated: the Turkmen government is not noted for it's tolerance of religious diversity. It seems that her actual crime, from the governments standpoint, is that she is a Hare Krishna.
The northern areas of Turkmenistan are closed border zones: Anyone wanting to visit needs a special permit that is not easily obtained so it is very difficult even for her family members to visit her. Human Rights organizations have characterized the conditions at the labor camp as being exceptionally miserable.
Since she is a prisoner of conscience we ordinarily we would have initiated a letter writing campaign to petition for her release and would petition other governments and non-government organizations to pressure the Turkmen government on her behalf. Amnesty International, The United Nations Human Rights Council, and The United States State Department are all aware of her case.
However, we have been specifically requested by Caitanya Rupini (through intermediaries) not to engage in such a campaign for the time being. Every year just after Ramadan (around September/October) the President of Turkmenistan, in a display of magnanimity, bestows amnesties on groups of prisoners. There is the hope that Caitanya Rupini will be the recipient of such an amnesty and that her sentence will be reduced accordingly. International pressure on the government would apparently be counter-productive to low-profile efforts being made to secure her inclusion in such an amnesty.
While we wait and pray for her early release there is a very valuable service that we can do for Caitanya Rupini: we can give her our association by writing to her directly. I asked the devotee closest to the situation if we could do this. Here is the affirmative reply:
"Dear Hari-kirtana prabhu, .I am glad to inform you that I received the positive answer to your question about sending by devotees their letters directly to Mother Caitanya Rupini by post. BUT ONE BIG REQUEST: If devotees want that Caitanya Rupini will receive their letters then nothing to write about the politician and do not ask any information from her. I think that the devotees' letters full of love to God will inspire her to do her best in service to her Guru Maharaja. Caitanya Rupini is a very good devotee. She had an opportunity to stay in Kazakhstan and go on her devotional service there, but she voluntary arrived to Turkmenistan. I was very lucky to receive darshan of her Guru Maharaja His Holiness BB Govinda Swami at recent Gaura Purnima festival in Mayapur. When He has known that I was from Turkmenistan His first question was: How is Caitanya Rupini? And then during about of 15 minutes He glorified Caitanya Rupini. What highest level of belief and love to God He has if His disciples in Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan show such heroic acts!? Mother Caitanya Rupini does not know English but she good understands Russian language. Caitanya Rupini and all Turkmen devotees are very grateful to the devotees in New York and around the world for their anxiety and prayers. YOUR SINCERE PRAYERS IS THE REAL HELP AND WEALTHY FOR US. I thank you very much for your clear understanding the situation of devotees in Turkmenistan. Hare Krishna."
So, I would like to ask all of you to please write a personal letter to Mother Caitanya Rupini that is filled with Krishna katha, your service and realizations, favorite verses and purports, Prabhupada lila, and all things glorifying the Supreme Lord and His devotees that will inspire her to persevere in her difficult service. Please abide by the very important request that your letter asks her nothing about her situation and makes no comment whatsoever about the government of Turkmenistan or the nature of her case. The importance of this cannot be overstated.
PLEASE NOTE: Caitanya Rupini will only be able to read your letter if it is written in Russian (or Turkmen). If you are writing in either English or Spanish and do not know someone who can translate for you, you can get your letter translated into Russian over the internet for $0.05 US per word by sending it via e-mail to Boris at the Petersburg Translation Bureau: firstname.lastname@example.com. I have used this service for several letters and they appear to be able to translate devotional terminology and Sanskrit transliterations. The minimum charge is $3.50.
The fastest method for sending correspondence to Caitanya Rupini is by Telegram to this address:
Turkmenistan Dashoguz ulica Zagorodnaya 1, DZ-K/8 otryad 1 Annaniyazova Cheper
Or you can send your letters to her via postal service at this address:
ulica Ilyalinskaya
Zenskaya Kolloniya DZ-K/8
Cheper Annaniyazova
The postage for a standard letter from the United States to Turkmenistan is $0.84. For postage rates from other countries, please consult your local postal service.
For more specific information about her case you can visit www.forum18.org. Click on Search/Archive and type "Cheper Annaniyazova" in the Free Text Search field.
Thank you very much. Hare Krishna.
Your servant, Hari-kirtana dasa

Back at the 2009 L.A. Auto show, the Korean car maker Hyundai vowed to be green by reducing their vehicle's mass across the entire range and therefore improve their MPG ratings. As a follow up to their promise, Hyundai will unveil the forward thinking i-flow concept car this March at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. According to the first details about the concept, the i-flow is chock full of innovations from the chemical company BASF incorporating numerous new technologies including innovative lightweight materials and alternative power sources like solar cells that will not only reduce the vehicle's curb weight but improve its energy efficiency as well.
The i-flow concept's flowing body lines are designed not only to cut through the air with greater ease and exceptional aerodynamics, but also catch the eye of any onlookers walking the show floor in Geneva. While the "i" prefix clearly identifies the innovative concept as a member of the Hyundai family and their commitment to technological automotive innovation and fuel efficiency.
Press release after the jump.

Pronounced "tsoog-tsvung", Zugzwang is a German word meaning "obligation to move". The term is used for a position in which whoever has the move would obtain a worse result than if it were the opponent's turn to play. The term was first used in a German chess magazine in 1858. Below is the Immortal Zugzwang game, where in the final position, any move Black makes, loses quickly.
Whoever is to move in the following diagram IMMEDIATELY loses. This is because they must not only cease attacking the opponent's pawn, but must give up defense of their own! This situation is refferd to as a 'trebuchet'.
White to move:
Black to move:
I'm good at does when I am in the end of the game which makes me a trong player.
Zugwang es aplicable a condiciones de la vida diaria, también.
¡Terrible situación!
Thanks for the post , there's lots to learn in this game
i cant see the board!!!
yeah, german word^^
Zug = move
Zwang= force
Zug = move
Zwang = force
awesome tactic!
Dont think its a zugzwang.If its whites move he could easily play Kd3 or Ke3 without letting black gain any advantage.However if its Blacks turn he is surely losing a pawn.
I also had similar, situation. But it involved a draw offer, that I had made. Either the opponent draw, or I force a draw...
The opponent have the choice to get out of the draw, but would find himself in a worst position, thus loosing the game.
If I don't force the draw, then I would lose the game.
Would that be seen as a double edged zugswang?
The opponent resigned the game, because he feel it to be dirty play, as he had a lower rating than I, and was in a strong position to win.
I'm not saying I would have win/or he would have win...I can only make a decision of how i feel the outcome could have been, and i do not consider blunders, because mate wasn't evident, but the position was so powerful, that both expected to win. depending on the draw.(me expecting him not to make 3 move repetition, so that I can check him either with a night or bishop and then move in for mate) Or, him expecting me not to force draw, so that he could move in and finish me.
It is sad to win this way, he should have draw.
blck could take time to move, then white fall asleep, then blck can win on time...or white could blunder and give up...would that still be zugzwang?
would zugzwang be zugzwang, only if a move is made that we view as zugzwang, or can opponent still blunder? Does Zugzwang lead to defeat, or is it just a nice move, that you say.....erm this is interesting, and then continue with the game to win, or loose, or do you have to lose after a zigzwang?
seriously, i dont understand why you rate an end game like this. to it is luck and probably good positioning.Thanks
black king moves left or right, either way white wins a pawn, and then its easy to get a promotion afterwards. No move can save black in this position.
Another example of Zugzwang -
This is interesting-thanks for posting it!

Montreal will welcome back a familiar face Thursday night when they face the Buffalo Sabres, as forward Andrei Kostitsyn returns to the Canadiens' lineup.
The injured Kostitsyn skated under the watchful eye of athletic trainer Graham Rynbend on Monday without equipment after the rest of his teammates left the ice. It was the first time on skates since blocking a shot with his foot last Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Kostitsyn also took part in the full skate on Tuesday before considering himself fit to play.
Younger brother Sergei Kostitsyn has been filling in for Andrei on the No. 1 line and has picked up a couple of assists in four games.
Scott Gomez, out since Nov. 20, and Matt D'Agostini (concussion) returned to the lineup on Tuesday in the Habs' 3-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, while Andrei Markov (ankle), Brian Gionta (broken foot) and Hal Gill (foot) remain on the injured list.

Phil is one of the most popular ambassadors for acoustic roots music. A dazzling instrumentalist, he is perhaps best known as a top flight fiddler and plays in the all-star line-up, Feast of Fiddles. But his skills don't stop there, he also plays slide, Spanish and tenor guitar, mandocello, viola, mandolin and South American cuatro, not to mention contributing rich vocals.
Born in Exminster, Devon, he started to play fiddle, guitar and mandolin while still at school in Teignmouth and habitually credits Davey Graham's Folk, Blues & Beyond as his inspiration for acoustic music.
He played his first gig at 14 and started working as a duo with Paul Downes in 1974 (their Live at Nettlebed CD has recently been released). He was then in the Arizona Smoke Revue and a key member of Johnny Coppin's band. His impressive track record also includes touring with Mike Oldfield and being a member of the feted Albion Band from 1984-1991. Show of Hands became a full-time partnership in the early 90s, a band that has gone on to sell out the Royal Albert Hall three times and who were voted Best Live Act, by the public, at the 2004 Folk Awards.
Phil, who also has his own Phil Beer Band, famously guested on the Rolling Stones Steel Wheels album and Steve Harley's Poetic Justice.
As a composer, Phil has written many numbers including the stunning instrumental The Falmouth Packet for SoH's album Witness.
As a solo artist he released Rhythm Methodist in 2004, a double album of songs and instrumentals (re-released on the Talking Elephant label this year) while his enviable versatility is shown in the imminent Hard Works compilation of two earlier albums and a long-awaited five disc boxed set of archive, new and live music and video.
Phil is also in demand as a producer, co-producing (with Steve Knightley) Jez Lowe's Jack Commons Anthem among others. This year Phil formed his own label, Chudleigh Roots, producing Jackie Oates' highly acclaimed second album, The Violet Hour and an album by Singer Songwriter Tom Palmer, and most recently Isambardes 'Telling Tales.
In the meantime, Show of Hands go from strength to strength with the critically acclaimed release, Arrogance, Ignorance and Greed and two great tours to finish off 2010.

|My favorite of her book covers. Grumpy Cat cracks me the hell up.
Kelli Jae Baeli is different from most of the writers I interview here at The House of Fists in that it was her non-fiction that first drew me to her work, as opposed to the horror or dark fiction practiced by the other interviewees. I'm trying to learn more about writing, though, and not just about writing horror, so I immediately asked her to do me the honor of being interviewed here.
She writes very clearly and persuasively, her tone neatly balanced between the academic and the practical. I'm a smart man but certainly no great deep thinker, and I appreciate the pragmatic style in which she writes; her articles on atheism have done a lot for me here at a time when I find my own beliefs shifting radically.
On top of everything else, I do believe she has passed on the best piece of advice I've ever received: Don't fall in love with your words; fall in love with your craft.
Thank you, Ms. Baeli.
When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
I had always kept a journal from the moment I learned how to write. The impulse only grew stronger as I went along. As far as being an author who writes full-length books, that vocation sprang from my disappointment as an avid reader, trying to find books I could relate to in a certain genre, namely lesbian fiction. With few exceptions, none of them seemed to reflect me, my life, or my sensibilities. So I decided to write a book that *I* would want to read. Since then, I have continued to write (and rewrite) novels and nonfiction, in both mainstream and lesbian genres, and starting some 23 years ago, also publish this work. I was an Indie Publisher and Author before it was fashionable. Some essays on my blog about this:
What was the first thing you wrote that made you proud and why?
There is an element of pride in every project, when I complete it. I don't publish anything I cannot be proud of, and I feel this is often the mistake that self-published and Indie Authors make--they release their work before it is the best it can be, and they get caught up in the romantic idea of being a writer, rather than in the dedicated attention to craft.
What do you hope to accomplish with your writing, and what specific steps do you take toward that aim as you write?
One important thing I have learned along the way, is that love is love, pain is pain, people are people—whether gay or straight, we all have the same dreams, our own set of challenges, our own bouts with human nature. My goal, in the case of fiction, is always to write a story that is engaging, with characters a reader can truly care about, invest in; it is to devise a plot that moves quickly, and incites the reader to keep turning pages. There are memes, genres, archetypes, but that's where the adage, "there are no new stories" ends. The ways in which an author examines these elements are as plentiful and varied as are the molecules in the human body, the synaptic connection in the writer's brain. I always shoot for a fresh way to tell these stories, which is inevitably in the opposite direction from formula fiction.
What do you make of the notion that traditional publishing brings more respect than self-publishing?
Respect is not always earned, and that goes for both traditionally published authors and self-published ones. This question has several rows of teeth. It would be difficult to address it properly in a limited form. But to just touch on some of the points: There are cogent reasons why traditionally published authors are more respected, in general, than those who self-publish. Traditional publishers employ qualified individuals (i.e., editors/proofreaders who actually have a degree in that discipline) who act as gatekeepers to separate the wheat from the chaff. And literary agents are, ostensibly, a turnstile between the writer and the publisher. While a "good" book can be qualified by the fundamentals of "good" writing, the conclusion about its merit is at some point ultimately subjective. For instance there are many books widely considered "classic" or high-quality fiction, that I find fall short of satisfying me. This means that there can be many books which are considered "good" but are not, and conversely, many that are rejected which are worthy of print. There are many talented writers whose work is never known, never reaches its readers; in this sense, traditional publishing has put limits on our literary choices.
In the case of self-publishing, there are also many hacks and neophytes out there who make an egregious error in publishing their work before having a grip on the craft, and before paying their dues, but also many other writers who really have something to offer, and the advent of Indie publishing allows them to share their work with the world. So since self-publishing is a new paradigm, the old one will naturally have a stronger foothold in the perception of the reading public. But both traditional and self-publishing have a partial claim on respect.
Has self-publishing begun paying off for you in terms of what you're seeking from it? If not, what do you see yourself changing in the future?
It has paid off in some ways, as I have now 33 books under my literary belt, but it brings its own cadre of challenges. For instance, the most popular fiction (i.e., that which enjoys the highest number of sales) are not the genres I care to write in. And "payoff" is both relative and subjective; I would more likely refer to it as "tradeoff." What I gain as an Indie Publisher/Author in speed of publication, independence, creative control, a larger share of royalties, is tempered by the amount of time I have to spend on the business of writing, rather than on the writing itself. (Recently, when I ignored the marketing long enough to JUST WRITE, for example, I published 2 novels and 3 novellas in the span of 6 months--Books 3 & 4 of my AKA Investigation series, Also Known as Syzygy and Also Known as Rising & Falling; as well as Curse of Cache La Poudre, Somewhere Else and Quintessence). I cannot fathom ever going the traditional route, now, and in fact, I have turned down two contracts in the past, because I didn't like the tradeoff they offered. My royalties would have been 10-15% instead of the 80% (or more) it is now---it simply does not emotionally compute that a publisher will make the majority of profit for all the work *I* did. This is compounded by the knowledge that unless you are the next Stephen King or J. K. Rowling, there will be no big advances, nor publisher-funded book tours. That's a myth perpetuated by the general public's IMPRESSION of what being a popular author is like, with no insight into all the other authors who struggle for years without much reward.
Going with traditional publishing also meant my book would have been packaged in a way I didn't like, the blurb would have been poorly crafted, the cover would have been horrible, the editors would have imposed their own intentions and opinions on the content, until the work would have become theirs and not mine. I don't like limits on my creative expression; I tell the stories I feel compelled to share, and not the ones I'm expected to, or the ones that fit neatly in a formula- or genre-box. But it means more work for me. The entire legitimacy of being a published author is predicated on a romanticized falsehood; the truth of it is much more sobering, and rather like selling your soul, or prostituting your writing.
What's your favorite part of the writing and self-publishing process and why? Conversely, what is your least favorite part?
My least favorite part of the process is the marketing. It's time-consuming and stretches my tolerance. Part of that is the often infuriating tendency for some readers to post reviews that are either filled with spoilers, or with criticisms that reveal their lack of understanding. Thankfully, I have been fortunate to get almost all four and five star reviews, but every so often, someone will post a review that is pejorative only because they are not quite bright enough to understand things like nuance. It's a bitter pill, and I write about that periodically, such as in
One of the best things about being independent is the unfettered creativity. I can write what I want to write, when I want to write it. Douglas Adams said, "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." I enjoy this degree of freedom. More specifically, my favorite part of the writing is when all the pieces of my puzzle begin to join, and it develops its own momentum to carry it through to the end. For me, that process is hard-won, as I am like a Quilter when I write a novel, rather than a conduit. (See http://jaebaeli.com/blog/2012/10/streaming-quilting-differing-methodologies-in-novelwriting/)
I do a great deal of research and look for all the interconnected elements until the plot emerges. (see http://jaebaeli.com/blog/2012/10/springboarding/
I'm a stickler for facts, and am never content with writing that strains credibility or demands credulity; I want everything in the story to not only SEEM possible, but BE possible. (This is, itself, a double-edged sword, as I pointed out in several essays, such as, http://jaebaeli.com/blog/2012/11/stranger-fiction-reviews-truthiness/ and http://jaebaeli.com/blog/2012/06/the-truth-of-fiction/ - there exists this concept: I may have failed to do the best job on a book, if I didn't make the fiction seem like truth, even if the truth seemed like fiction.)
I wish I could be one of those writers who sit down and just wiggle my fingers on the keys until the story flows through me, but for me, it's a far more technical journey until all those pieces gel. The creative part, for me, is in figuring out how to solve the plot problems, how to reach the goals within the plot and within the characters, how to move the story at a speed and intrigue that will keep a reader engaged, how to balance reality with possibility, vividness with economy.
What advice or encouragement would you offer to other writers?
My most commonly offered caveat is this: don't fall in love with your words; fall in love with your craft. That's when you will begin the process of being a quality writer. This subject is voluminous, and I can't do it justice in just a few paragraphs, but the other words of wisdom I will offer are these:
The competition to be a published writer is fierce. The dream of getting published has been overly-romanticized in the media so that many beginning writers think not only that writing is easy, but that they have a good chance of getting a contract from a major house. The odds are, realistically, one in a million–maybe worse than that. We hear about the success stories, not the ones who spend their lives toiling for that dream, to the exclusion of everything else, only to wind up poor, alone, lacking in social skills, and profoundly jaded that life has passed them by. There are so many unpublished writers who pursue this dream, and publishers and agents have had to crack down on the criteria to even LOOK at work sent. And it is very expensive for a writer to submit manuscripts, what with an ink cartridge costing around $30 and then adding the paper cost and the mailing costs, and that's just PER MANUSCRIPT. Common advice tells us that we must do this hundreds of times, and continually if we ever hope to get traditionally published. You have to pour lots of money into the endeavor over a period of many years, sometimes. And more often than not, this investment does not return.
Often, then, self-publishing is the only option if a writer wants to get her work out there. There's little point in spending your entire life hoping, while your words stay in a drawer. I believe as writers we are meant to honor that talent, and share it, otherwise, what's the point of having it? Fortunately, we live in an era where technology allows us some autonomy and some tools to make this happen. So, do whatever you have to do to get your work out there. If it's good, it might eventually get noticed and picked up by a major house or agent–that frequently has more to do with who you know, than how much you submit your work. So cultivate connections. And also try to go small or medium press. If you get a contract from one of them, you can use those books to woo larger fish.
*Please refer to my blog for essays on all these topics, and probably more alternative topics than you could possibly have time to read (my interests are wide). Here are a few, just FYI.

Nothing is wrong with Red Wings. For the money they're a decent value, but when you're talking quality White's make Red Wings seem like Red Wings make Timberland seem. In general I would say it's worth it to pony up the additional $50-$100 for a pair of custom White's Semi Dress if someone is in the market for a pair of $300 Red Wings.

Luckily, I happen to be into punk music, and punks have even less money than college students, so I had plenty of friends to give me advice on how to find cheap food. This being my sophomore year at St. Olaf, I've figured out that the majority of students here are not punks and don't have the same resources that I do. All is not lost. I'm here to tell you how to eat for cheap.
One of the great things about going to St. Olaf is the school's top-notch cafeteria, but Stav Hall isn't necessarily open any time hunger strikes, and depending on where you live, laziness can sometimes overpower the desire for food. Skipping meals will certainly result in hunger later, but there are a number of ways to combat this besides spending a fortune at Erberts and Gerbert's, Domino's, Basil's or B&L. The Pause is one option, but some of the items on their menu aren't quite worth the cost.
If you go about it the right way, however, The Pause can fill up your stomach without emptying your wallet. The best option is to order a large, one topping Pause pizza; it's eight bucks, doesn't taste too bad, and you can even get it delivered if you're really feeling lazy.
One major problem with The Pause (even considering the delivery option) and the Caf is that they both have a closing time, so when you're up until 4 a.m. working on a paper, and you're starting to get hungry, you have to find another source of food.
The best way I've found to make sure I have food on hand at all times is stealing food from the Caf during normal meal times. I know, how terrible of me, right? I figure with how much I spend on tuition, how much I spend on room and board, and how rarely I actually use all fourteen of my meals in a given week, there's no real "stealing" involved.
I've perfected my thieving strategy and food preferences over time, so I'll give you a few pointers on technique and your best options for what to take. I find that sandwiches are one of the easiest things for which to steal materials, although bread is definitely one of the most difficult things to smuggle out. As for the meat, cheese and various other toppings, there's almost no preparation required.
Bring a few Ziploc baggies with you, stand in line for your actual meal, load up a plate with your meat and cheese of choice, sit down and eat, stuff your bounty in the baggies, put the baggies in your pocket and walk out of the Caf.
If you don't want to buy bread for your sandwiches, you can get a loaf out of the Caf, but you're going to look a little awkward. I just grab a loaf and bring it to my seat. When I'm ready to leave, I open my sweatshirt or jacket, stick the loaf inside and zip myself up. This works best if you go to eat just before the Caf closes; it's less likely that they'll have somebody posted at the exit to ask you why you look like there's a loaf of bread in your shirt.
If you want to have food in your room without stealing from the Caf, paying for delivery or stocking up on Cage meals to go, there's always the option of actually buying groceries. If you live in an apartment or house, groceries aren't even an option, they're a necessity.
You will not be able to eat out constantly if you want to live on your own. Making your own food is relatively easy, rather fun and definitely the cheapest way to eat. Almost anybody can make noodles, soup, hamburgers, steak, salad, pizza, bread, cookies, mashed potatoes, pancakes, eggs, cooked vegetables, stir-fry or french fries. Buying your own groceries is certainly the cheapest, and can be the most delicious way to eat for cheap. There are definitely other options, but these are a few that have worked best for me.

GoBarbra.com = unlimited drunken amusement
9 Feb
To My Fellow Drunken Retards,
Apparently this site has been in existence for a while and somehow I have not heard it of it. Essentially you type in whatever saying you want and it substitutes it into where "Barbra Streisand" goes in the chorus of the infamously overplayed song. I know it sounds incredibly simplistic and idiotic, but it translates into countless hours of drunken hilarious possibilities. Your gonna hate yourself for loving this.
My favorite substitute so far has been "I Just Queefed." Please comment on the post with the funniest shit you come up with.

The Marmot Scree Pant
UKC Gear
© Marmot The Scree is Marmot's workhorse softshell pant, a jack-of-all-mountain-trades pair of trousers that will see use year round and probably in just about all types of climbing activity.
Unfortunately, the test pair arrived just after the last Finnish ice falls had collapsed under the onslaught of the spring sunshine so, lacking high mountains, I haven't had chance to test them in gnarly weather. Hence the following comments are based only on wearing them for cragging and should be considered a "first impressions" type of review. I would though, happily wear them for ice climbing and come next winter, will do so.
a very capable pair of mountain trousers
The Scree pant is made of Marmot's own 4-way stretch softshell material. Marmot class their softshells into three levels, M1 being the most weather resistant but least breathable and M3 being the most breathable and least weather resistant. The Scree is classed as M3 and as you would expect, they seem to be completely breathable. I wore them rock climbing on a windy but sunny spring day and they didn't feel too hot at all when sheltered and in the sun at the base of the cliff, but the material was windproof when at the top cliff belaying in a gale. Just as importantly, the material is very stretchy in all directions so the Scree pants give total freedom of movement. I tried top-roping a 7a aręte whilst wearing them (with not much success it should be added) and toe or heel hooking around the aręte with your foot at chest height didn't cause the pants any problem at all.
The finishing on the trousers is superb – seams are neatly bound, including some natty red piping around the inside waist. The zips on the pockets all go neatly into 'zip garages', and the ankle has a draw cord to snug it in as well as an ankle zip. I like the draw cord as it means you don't need to role up the trouser leg whilst rock climbing tobe able to see your feet properly, as with many other trousers. It would also hold the trouser leg over your ice climbing boot as long as you weren't going to be wading a long way through deep, heavy snow.
I now find I really miss a thigh pocket on any trousers that don't have one, but the Scree pants do and it is an excellent place to stash a copy of the topo or some energy gels. Perhaps the only thing I would ask for more of is belt loops – although I have exactly the same gripe about the two other pairs of softshell trousers I have from other manufacturers. Why are they so half-hearted about this? When doing anything active, I find a belt a real necessity. I've actually sewn more loops onto other outdoor trousers after getting so annoyed with them slipping out from below the belt due to lack of loops.
The fit is quite generous; I went for large thinking I would need it for my thighs and waist, if not for my inside leg but actually the pants are quite baggy on me and I need a belt. Marmot may be flattering us because I think you can take an inch or two off your real waist size when looking at their size chart. However the slightly loose fit means that they will go easily over long underwear for winter usage. The material is thicker than some other types of softshell trouser meaning extra warmth and also it seems rather strong – whilst climbing I bashed my knee under the trousers hard enough to draw blood, but no mark on the material itself.
Don't expect miracles – they do most things well, but nothing perfectly. The non-membrane softshell materials (which include most softshell trousers) are not completely windproof and from past experience with similar models, this is noticeable on cold days when ice climbing at about –10 or colder. Also they are quick drying and snow proof but not waterproof, therefore in heavy precipitation you will still need waterproof over-trousers.
Overall, the Scree Pants seems like a very capable pair of mountain trousers. I will update this review with comments on their warmth later in the year once I have had chance to use them in the high mountains or for ice climbing.
Price: £60
What Marmot Say:
The Scree is a light-weight, versatile softshell pant that excels for everything from spring ski tours to summer alpine climbs.

why can't i sleep?
i'm too tired and exhausted to do anything productive, or really anything other than lay here. however, i'm not tired enough to sleep.
i need sleep
i'm tired to the point where my body feels like it's floating.
but staying up was totally worth it :)
things i learned tonight
- i am an excellent procrastinator
- your voice is beautiful
- being tired makes me more emotional
- i need to buy some mountain dew for nights like these
- it's really late and
i need to sleepi think i'll just stay up
insomnia can be so productive
…it's 3:30am and my room has never been cleaner
so much for going to bed early
I can't sleep even though I'm so tired :(
trying to fall asleep peacefully
listening to as tall as lions. I think it's working :)
I am super overstressed because of work and life. gahhh I hate being like this. I also need to be getting more sleep…
i should be asleep at this hour
…but i'm not, even though it's after 3am. it's like i'm not tired, even though I really am…
I feel so restless. And I'm tired, but I don't want to/can't sleep. I don't know how to describe it any other way. I don't like it. Oh well…

The Big Flea Market draws a crowd to the Fredericksburg Expo Center

Interested in buying a no-parking notice from President Ronald Reagan's first inauguration?
Would a 1930s-era popcorn maker look good in your house?
Or maybe you just need some buttons. Say, 10 for $1?
If so, this weekend's Big Flea Market at the Fredericksburg Expo & Conference Center was the place to be.
Of course, not everyone had $2,250 to spare for an old popcorn maker as tall as a person. The hundreds of shoppers who filled the Expo Center's parking lot seemed happy to buy more modestly priced items.
Marty and Patti Goettler of Caroline County, for instance, paid a total of $32 for a fox skin and and an old book titled "Cowboy Sam and Porky." Patti Goettler remembers reading the book as a child.
But why the fox skin?
"For my girlfriend for her birthday," Goettler said with a laugh. The friend apparently is a fox hunter.
Patti Goettler described herself as an "interested amateur" flea-market shopper. She and her husband have been hunting for bargains since they married about 40 years ago.
The Flea Market is also a social gathering of sorts.
Many people stopped to talk to Goettler and pet the two greyhounds she had with her. She's training them to be therapy dogs.
The vendors seemed to enjoy chatting with people, too. The man who was selling the expensive popcorn maker started talking with a reporter who was taking a close look at the relic.
He said he saw a similar popcorn maker priced at more than $3,000 at another flea market.
That one had been refurbished, but he said he preferred the aged look of his. You can buy new-looking stuff anywhere, he said.
Terry Jones of Louisa County described the dealers as courteous and friendly. She said she started going to flea markets after retiring a few years ago.
"I was always with people," said Jones, who purchased an old toy fire truck. "So when I retired, I wanted to stay within that environment."
And she loves the thrill of finding an unexpected bargain. "Every once in a while, you get a great surprise," Jones said. "It's like Christmas during the year."

The Big Flea Market at the Fredericksburg Expo & Conference Center had an array of items for sale. Here are some examples:
$2,250 for a 1930s-era popcorn maker
$395 for a Civil War cavalry sword
$975 for an 1817 Springfield musket
$125 for a "Schmidt's Cold Beer" lighted sign
$68 for a bottle of cologne from Paris
$58 for a no-parking notice from President Ronald Reagan's 1981
$260 for a federal mirror circa 1830
$5 for a pool ball or three for $10
50 cents for a spool of thread.

Adult Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Advanced Unfavorable Hodgkin Lymphoma
Further follow-up is required to assess rates of secondary malignancies with these regimens. Stanford V is an alternative drug combination with mandated radiation therapy consolidation for most patients and survival rates comparable to those with ABVD.[9,10][Level of evidence: 1iiA]
Three prospective, randomized trials did not show a benefit in OS from the addition of consolidative radiation therapy to chemotherapy for patients with advanced-stage disease.[11,12,13][Level of evidence: 1iiA] In a meta-analysis of 1,740 patients treated on 14 different trials, no improvement was observed in 10-years' OS for patients with advanced-stage HL who received combined modality therapy versus chemotherapy alone.[14][Level of evidence: 3iiiA] The German Hodgkin Lymphoma Study Group HD15 trial showed that a negative positive–emission tomographic (PET) scan after BEACOPP induction therapy was highly predictive for a good outcome even with omission of consolidative radiation therapy (negative predictive value for PET was 94% [95% confidence interval, 91%–97%]).[15] No survival advantage is known for the use of radiation consolidation for patients with massive mediastinal disease and advanced stage disease, though differences exist in sites of first relapse.[16]
Clinical trials are addressing the role of more intensive regimens for patients with advanced-stage disease and poor prognostic factors. Early chemotherapy intensification resulting from an interim, PET-positive scan after two cycles of ABVD has also been proposed.[17] Controversy exists about whether the optimal strategy should involve early dose intensification, with subsequent risks of increased late toxic effects (such as leukemia) or whether ABVD should be employed and patients who relapse be salvaged with high-dose treatment and autografting. In a prospective, randomized trial of 163 patients with unfavorable advanced-stage disease who attained a complete or partial remission after four cycles of ABVD, no difference was observed in OS or FFS either with high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplant or with four more cycles of ABVD.[18][Level of evidence: 1iiA]
Treatment options:
- ABVD for six to eight cycles.
- BEACOPP (increased dose).

With the end of month nearing, wage packets will soon be collectively incinerating pockets everywhere and what better thing to do in order to avoid burnt thighs, than to splash some of your hard-earned on a mobile phone covered in gold! Our choice for the taste-challenged this week is a limited edition version of Nokia's already expensive 8800 Arte phone, the 8800 Arte Diamond. Dipped in 24k gold and sporting five white diamonds on the rear of the casing, Goldstriker International will be relieving you of £1,195 when it's released, but if you can forgo the diamonds, perhaps you're a little shy, a simple gold one is available now for £899.
Nokia have been dominating headlines this week (nothing new, we know) but for mostly the wrong reasons. Their much hyped Comes with Music system has been revealed as costing the company a rather large sum of money, with analysts unable to see how they will continue to make a profit from the sale of handsets with the feature. Still, as long as the costs are not passed on to us in order to run it, we're sure they have everything in hand. Or do they? Published Q1 figures show Nokia missing targets and company shares dropping, with Nokia pointing their blame finger at everything from the world economy to Keyser Soze.
Saving Nokia from a black week was the unveiling of two new XpressMusic phones, the 5320 and 5220. Both include a range of goodies including Flash support, optimized controls for N-Gage gaming, a real 3.5mm headphone jack, tons of storage and in the case of the 5320, S60 Symbian software. Oh, don't just glance at the pictures and assume the 5220 has been snapped at an angle (as is often the marketeers want); it's actually head-on and really is that shape!
It's not just Nokia who have paraded new phones this week either, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and LG have also got in on the act, albeit unwittingly at times. Sony Ericsson have officially announced the imminent arrival of the candybar G520 and clamshell Z780, two apparently Internet-orientated phones. They're both HSDPA-equipped but the Z780 will also feature GPS. Somewhat less official is another shot of the exciting-looking P5 smartphone and a newcomer codenamed 'beibei', another smartphone judging by the software.
LG have released a new member of its Black Series, this time called the LG Secret, or KF750. Encased in carbon fibre, the Secret has an impressive feature list including 120fps video recording, a 5MP camera, a Google web package and HSDPA. Samsung give us the previously revealed KF510 and the fabulous looking U900 Soul, complete with OLED screen and touch sensitive D-pad. Finally, Motorola prove they do have at least some plans for the coming year thanks to a leaked picture of several brand-new models.
If you've had enough of losing your expensive phone, work in a job where things get damaged easily or just want to throw your phone away when you've finished, Hop-on's disposable mobiles could soon be coming to Europe especially for you. Although they don't have a screen, they do have 12 ringtones and a standby of 240 hours, plus presumably they will not break the bank, or require a contract.
We end this week's news roundup with a Samsung patent where it would have been interesting to have attended the design meetings. Why touch the screen or (heaven forbid) press keys when you can wave at your phone like a maniac to make it work. A crowded train full of people doing a 'Z-axis Inter-Layer Navigation' (number two on the diagram) could lead to all sorts of trouble!

Rams Have a Mountain To Climb...
"We'll win this one easy boys!"
That was what I overheard one of the Junior Rams shout to the rest of the team just minutes before the kick off today.
The New Firm took to the field in three or four different Mountain Ash kits, they had two little girls in their starting line up and they had one player that made Dylan J look like a man mountain.
Gilfach stood there in full uniform, with thirteen tries for and none against in their last two encounters and made the crucial mistake of underestimating the opposition.
The Rams were captained today by Jordan Warren and he chose to drop out to them. Mount received and did what I have been trying to get the boys to do since June. Stand back off the ruck, compose yourself and take the ball at pace. Mount did this with no frills, no fancy passes, no slinging the ball anywhere and made immediate headway.
The New Firm held four or five big lumpers in their squad, and they knew how to run hard. Having said that, they were met with ferocious tackling that any international team would be proud of. Jack, Ben, Dylan J, Dylan W, Jake and Cameron stood firm int tight areas and kept the enemy out.
Sadly, and my biggest dissapointment of the game, was that we could not keep the ball for more than one phase when we had attacking opportunities. The boys are so eager to get their hands on the ball, that they simply will not stand back off that ruck. They are so close to the acting scrum half that when he bends over to pick up the ball, their nose is up his behind!!
In training they stand back brilliantly. When the whistle goes and the crowd start screaming, the fire in the belly melts the ice in the head and all training drills are tossed aside like Christmas wrapping paper.
Mount had two chances in the first half and they scored twice. The first try was marginal, as Ben flew across to corner flag, made a great tackle which knocked the corner flag onto the next field, but sadly the try was awarded. The second was in the other corner and was well worked, no arguments there.
A few stern words from myself and Tonka at half time stirred the troops and the boys seemed to be more focussed for the commencement of the second half.
A great little catch and run by Riley made us a few yards. Dylan J popped a nice little ball to Dylan S. Now this boy always, always runs straight. Not today...instead he tried a miss one pass which was nicely intercepted by a Mount player whom placed the ball down nicely for Mount try number three.
We now had a real mountain to climb.Jack made some nice inroads, so did Ben and Cameron, Dominic got his hands on the ball, so did skipper Jordan. Jake made a few mazey runs, but was getting more and more frustrated each time he was being brought to the floor. Sadly, this culminated with a little piece of silly play as he kicked the ball at his tackler, after the tackle, and consequently left the field of play for two minutes.
Gilfach clawed back possession and Jack W took the ball from Dylan W at the ruck, and ran hard and straight. He then legally hit a would be Mount defender so hard that the game had to be brought to a halt. Sadly for Jack, as the game was stopped he was well on his way to scoring a try, which would have sparked off a Gilfach revival. Unfortunately, it wasn't going to be Gilfach's day and no complaints are to be made.
The game ended 3-0, and the boys, especially in the second half, couldn't have given anymore. As a wise old bird said after the game
"You learn more from losing, than you do from winning boys."
A fitting statement, and the last thirty minutes of Wednesday will be spent, as last Wednesday, standing back from the tackle area, taking the ball at pace and staying out of each others way. Only this time, the boys will have a better idea of how effective this can be in a game.
Still proud of you ALL boys. You are a cracking bunch of kids and I'm looking forward to Wednesday.
Nobody has commented yet. Be the first!

The Ministry of Defence's We Were There touring exhibition honours the invaluble contribution made by the ethnic minorities to the Armed Forces for more than 200 years.
Many of us are aware of the historical contribution made by Gurkhas to the fighting strength of the British Army, and the involvement of troops from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa during the two World Wars. However far fewer of us know about the contribution made by military and civilian personnel from other parts of the British Empire and Commonwealth; particularly those from Africa, the Indian sub-continent, the rest of Asia (including Hong Kong) and the West Indies. The men and women from these countries served in theatres of war throughout the world, many in the front-line, working as infantrymen, pilots and seamen. Others worked in the essential support services, such as medicine, logistics, transport and labour.
This photographic exhibition celebrates the vital yet little known contribution made by these people, the descendants of whom now form part of our richly diverse ethnic population in the United Kingdom.
Today, in the Ministry of Defence and in the Armed Forces, we are providing opportunities for people from all sections of the community, and all ethnic origins to join, and to rise within the organisation purely on merit. We have made a great deal of progress in recent years to remove the barriers which used to prevent this happening and to change attitudes, but there is still some way to go. The stories in the exhibition remind us that those who are serving now, and those who will be serving in the future, do so within a proud tradition which deserves greater awareness and respect.

"Drake A casts Stop Time. After this wears off, Drake B casts Stop Time, and so on and so forth."
Really? I wouldn't recommend this at all. Stop Time has diminishing returns on Eregos, so by the third time you try to use it he's immune. This means that it's not there to help you when he enrages.
At least, that's how I remember it. I did this before 3.3 and maybe they changed it in that patch, or maybe doing it your way does involve taking the damage from enrages but that's a tradeoff because it screws up the timing of spawning whelps. Or something, I don't know, but the point is if the first two or three people spam Stop Time then there's no reason for the next person to waste a cooldown on it because it won't work.
I wouldn't recommend doing both ruby and emerald void in a PuG for all the reasons you mention. If you're doing just one or the other, I think Emerald Void would actually be easier. A tank who knows how to use the Ruby Drake would take very nearly no damage and control every single whelp.
Your group should have enough DPS to push him to astral phase before the third time stop wears off, even with the diminishing returns. Then with the down time during astral phase, there is plenty of time for drake A's time stop to go off CD so after the astral phase drake D time stops, Drake E time stops, drake A time stops again. Should be back to astral phase again and drakes B and C have their time stops off CD.
If you don't have the DPS to push him to astral phase before the 3rd time stop wears off, this strategy will not work real well. The idea is you KEEP him time stopped so he never has time to cast enrage or summon welps, as the ambers are terrible at handling damage and multiple targets. It's cake, and my group used the strat pre boss nerf of 3.3 and t9/ICC gear. Not meaning to sound like a douche, if it comes off that way, just trying to elaborate on why the strat works, even with the DR.
I don't recall there ever being diminishing returns. The only time I've seen him Immune to Time Stop is when he goes into the astral phase. (Since he's immune to everything during that.)
I could be wrong, but it's just that every time I've seen someone go for a 3rd time stop, he's been pushed into the first astral phase, so it fails.
After the 3rd time stop he hits the DR and is immune to a 4th for 15 seconds, or something around there. It's possible they removed this for some reason, but that's the way it was when my group was working on it. As you said though, Draelen, if he hasn't been pushed to the astral phase by that point then someone is doing their rotation wrong so it's really more of a non issue now that there is gear scaling on the drakes. Even before the gear scaling you could push him to astral before the 4th time stop would be needed, but there was less wiggle room.

Marlins finalize deal with Furcal
Miami, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Miami Marlins made their second notable free-agent signing of this offseason on Friday, signing veteran infielder Rafael Furcal to a one-year contract.
The Miami Herald reported Thursday that the deal contains a $3 million base salary and includes incentives.
Furcal earned his third career selection to the National League All-Star team while with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2012, but missed all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in March.
The 36-year-old batted .264 with five home runs, 49 RBI and 12 stolen bases for the Cardinals in 2012, and owns a .281 average with 113 homers, 585 RBI and 314 steals over 13 seasons in the majors.
Furcal has spent the majority of his career as a shortstop, but the Marlins plan to use him at second base opposite youngster Adeiny Hechavarria in the middle of the infield.
The 2000 NL Rookie of the Year's addition comes on the same day Miami officially announced the signing of ex-Boston Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia to a three-year contract.

I think this was a very exciting movie! I did infact liked it (thank god). In the beginning I was kind of bored, but then overtime the movie got better, and I became more interested in it. I would totally recommend this movie who have seen movie kinda like Inception, and In Time, or any other movie like that. I enjoyed watching the movie, and I liked the plot, and the way it twisted towards the end. It made it interesting and left the viewer to question themselves. I gave a 8."7" because I'm a sucker for Germans and Germany (were the movie is located), and liked hearing German being spoken.

Brooklyn Art Incubator, Inc. was founded in 2001 by a local artist-teacher to help young people use art to overcome the challenges that make growing up – as productive, successful members of the community – appear to be an unreachable goal.
Developed out of his experiences as a teacher in NYC public schools and Juvenile Justice facilities, his underlying vision for BAI promotes positive self and social development of youth by incubating their artistic talent, empowering them with a creative and entrepreneurial spirit, and bridging the gap between talent and success.
BAI helps youth – with difficult home lives, poverty backgrounds, lacking in traditional academic success – connect to their art projects, develop a sense of self worth from hands on experience in creating a project, and identify concrete ways to derive benefits from it.
BAI offers youth opportunities for artistic recognition and social achievement. We provide mentoring by local community based artists of similar backgrounds to encourage and inspire them. We incorporate basic learning skills into the artistic development process, along with formal entrepreneurship training, which empowers youth academically as well as creatively and economically.
By 2005 BAI staff had learned that the same techniques used to engage youth and empower them to reach their goals were also effective to empower people of all ages. Therefore, later programs such as ARTZ BIZ KIDZ, Vision to Action and Art for Seniors and most recently the Family Support Center which offers Bridges to Health services to families with foster care involvement.

I've been on an Artifact for three years now. It's a fantastic board. I originally bought it because I wanted to have a soft board to learn to ride switch on, while my girlfriend was learning how to snowboard. It accomplished that mission and more, and became my main go-to board. Rome bills it as a freestyle board, but it's really a great all around deck. I mostly freeride in the trees, and it's performance is excellent in those conditions. Highly recommended.
