The newest expansion is only a little over a month away, and the excitement is mounting. Ever since that first trailer was shown at Vana'fest, I've had all these different ideas and theories, as well as a few hopes and desires, floating around my head over what we'll see when we take that first step into Ulbuka, and I felt now was the best time to share this. So pull up your favorite chair and relax, as I share with you my thoughts as I await Adoulin.
Have a theory of your own that you want to share, or just disagree with something I may have said? Let me know what's on your mind over on the ZAM forums!
Please note that this is my personal speculation of Seekers of Adoulin and should not be considered the viewpoints of ZAM
As I stand here, overlooking the Sea of Zafmlug...hold on, this doesn't look right.
*runs out to Lufaise Meadows*
Where was I? Oh yes! *clears throat*
As I stand here, looking over the Sea of Zafmlug, I can't help ponder what it'll be like come next month, when thousands of adventurers, including myself, will make the trip across this body of water to the unexplored lands of Adoulin and the continent of Ulbuka. We know so very little about what we'll be able to do and what challenges we'll be facing that it rekindles that feeling of exploration and adventure that most feel has faded away. What will we find on this land to the west? Only time will tell, but that's not going to stop me from making a few assumptions and speculations as to just what we might be seeing come the end of March.
Let's look first at what is undeniably one of the most important aspects of this expansion, the main story. We've seen the swordmaiden, who will likely be this expansion's heroine, much like Prishe and Lilisette before her. We also know a small bit of history about Adoulin, most notably King August and the formation of the "Twelve Swords" as I like to call them, made up of August and the eleven knights that served by his side. I believe that this original "Twelve Swords" leads to the creation of the twelve Great Houses mentioned among the backdrop of the "New Tales" in the first trailer for the expansion. I feel that these Great Houses will play heavily in SoA's storyline, perhaps warring amongst themselves and we're to bring peace to them in order to face a common threat. What about the swordmaiden then? What ties does she have to all this? It's possible that she'll start out as just a low soldier, important in her own right but no one presently of any importance, that will be revealed as the potential heir to Adoulin's throne, and it is up to her to restore peace amongst the Twelve Houses to bring about the restoration of the Twelve Swords to defeat. Now, when I say a threat, I don't mean the Naakuals, the seven native warlords of the lands of Ulbuka. Nor am I referring to the beastmen species known as the Velkk, which I feel, while perhaps formidable in their own right, aren't such an overwhelming threat given their apparent prevalence in the region. No, I feel that the threat being faced by Adoulin will come from Tartarus, another bullet point in the first trailer.
In Greek mythology, Tartarus was a pit existing below the underworld that served as a prison for the most villainous of souls. Those judged to be sent to Tartarus were bound to an eternity of torture befitting the actions they committed in life that resulted in them being sent. Seems like a rather fitting place for a major villain, along the lines of the Zilart brothers and Promathia, to originate from. It's possible that this being is something originally trapped in Tartarus by August and his eleven knights during their first expansion into the frontier, and that upon its escape and subsequent attacks, only the revived Twelve Swords will be able to imprison it once again. This would tie the original Twelve Swords back into the present day, and further drive home the fact that these new Great Houses need to work together, because only a united front from those houses stand a chance.
Going back to the Velkk, I have my suspicions that perhaps there may be some connection between them and the Near East beastmen species, the Mamool Ja. Now, I don't just mean that because they're both lizard-like, though that is a big part of it. I mean, if the Velkk ended up being giant, mutant rabbits, I wouldn't jump (Get it? Because they're rabbits?) to connect the two. No, there are some more specific similarities between them that lead me to make this potential connection.
The two species have very similar color patterns for their two distinctive types (melee and mage), with the melee of both being brown and the mages being blue, though the Velkk's melee is considerably darker. More importantly though is the design of the equipment we see them wearing. The headpieces of the mage Velkk, for example, resemble the general design of some of the unique staves for the mage type Mamool Ja as well as some of the structures and objects found in the Mamool Ja stronghold, Mamook. The environments the two races choose to reside in are somewhat similar, being what looks like a somewhat temperate area, and their levels of technology seem to be similar, as both have developed bladed weapons but also rely or choose to use animal hides for their adornment. This suggests that perhaps they both share a common ancestry, or are a case of convergent evolution. If it is a common ancestor, it's possible that the Ulbuka continent and the Aradjiah continent are physically connected to one another, possibly by the oft-mentioned, but never seen "Far East" lands. There is a land mass connected to Aradjiah to the north and east, and possibly one connected to Ulbuka from the west. Should such a land mass between the two exist, I believe that some members of the ancestral species may have reached Ulbuka, but were cut off due to the ever-changing landscape, thus resulting in the species splitting off, retaining some elements of their shared ancestry, but otherwise evolving and adapting to suit the demands of their environment, thus creating the Velkk and the Mamool Ja.
Now that we've got what I believe the the storyline will involve, let's look at the job I've been looking forward to since the day it was announced, Rune Fencer. Besides that it is a new "tank" job and a Great Sword wielder, not to mention I think I'll look so snazzy in that Artifact armor, the fact that it deals with runes intrigues me. I'm not saying that just because I like the premise behind elemental symbols augmenting your abilities and fighting capacity, but because I have a soft spot for lore and I'm extremely curious about its backstory. I believe though that at least an element of the job's story, and perhaps a significant element of the job itself, is Yggdrasil, yet another bullet point.
What is Yggdrasil? As far as what it will be in the expansion I don't know. Perhaps it's some creature or being, or perhaps just a location, but its real life mythical roots (HA!) has ties to the mythology behind a certain Celestial Avatar that has popped up as a major player in the last two full expansions, the Dark Rider Odin. Yggdrasil, in Norse mythology, was the World Tree, an immensely large ash tree which supported the nine worlds said to exist. Now what does this have to do with Rune Fencer, you might be asking? In one of his many actions to obtain further power and knowledge, Odin sacrificed himself to himself upon Yggdrasil by hanging upon it for nine days, pierced by his spear Gungnir, in order to learn runes. Now, I don't know if this means that the avatar Odin will be making another appearance, or that aspiring Rune Fencers will need to spend nine days and nights tied to a tree, but given the influence that real world mythology has in the game, I won't be surprised if Yggdrasil is a big part of the Rune Fencer quest lines.
With that out of the way, what are some of the things I'm expecting we'll find over there? This is probably very biased, but I'm hoping for Dragoons. As some of you may know, one of my favorite jobs has been Dragoon. It was the first job I ever took to level 75, amidst the height of the whole "lol dragoon" phase where the most activity you were going to see in a day usually consisted of finding a new place to sit in Lower Jeuno while looking for a party. It's what I took through a good deal of the Rise of the Zilart expansion, despite criticism from those not in my linkshell at the time. My first relic weapon was even a Gungnir, which I still get some flak over to this day. Needless to say, Dragoon has been a favorite of mine, so I'm hopeful for what I'll find in Adoulin.
My hopes stem from the Wings of the Goddess non-playable character Achtelle, a Dragoon who originally came from Adoulin that speaks as though a population of Dragoon were still thriving in her homeland despite being all but extinct in Quon. This means that, at least as of twenty years ago, Dragoons existed in Adoulin, which means that there's a chance that the same population still exists in some form. What would I be wanting from this? Well, I'm not looking for any new special abilities or ultra-cool Dragoon only gear, though a change to my Gungnir would be nice (Shock Spikes? Really?). No, what I'd really like is just to delve more into the Dragoon mythology. The history of Vana'diel and all the different aspects of it has been one of the big reasons that I continue playing, and the chance to learn about more of the history of one of my favorite jobs is something that I'm really excited about. I'd like to learn more about the bond we share with our wyverns, why the Dragoons split up and took the long trip across Zafmlug, and things along those lines. The lore surrounding Dragoon is ripe to be expanded on in my opinion, and I feel that Adoulin is where we'll find some of this history.
My Dragoon enthusiasm aside, what do I hope to see? I hope that the "frontier" aspect of the expansion allows for constantly dynamic environments. Now, I know that being able to change the landscape has already been a confirmed aspect, but what I'm meaning is something that has to be constantly addressed, something I can't just clear one day and expect to still be that same way a week down the road. You can have certain areas of any given map ones that won't change, but perhaps make it so that the path you took to get to one point earlier will be completely overgrown a few minutes later, thus requiring that I clear the way or find another route. I like the concept of the land itself being untamed and it is something that myself and others are constantly needing to take into account. Sure, some people might find it irritating that they can't just run right through the same path created by someone else an hour ago or something, but personally, I like that it adds that element of suspense and danger to exploration, as well as keeping things fresh.
"Will this log bridge I just crossed over be here on my way back?"
"Is this empty river bed suddenly going to be filled with water?"
It's those kinds of elements that make the adventure all the more exhilarating for me. We won't necessarily know the beaten path to and from a given area because that beaten path doesn't exist anymore and would need reforged. Every day would mean a new challenge and a new adventure.
In the end though, I can say without reservation that I'm excited for this expansion. It's been so long since we've had brand new lands to explore, new jobs to level, and new stories to be part of, that my anticipation is extremely high for this. Come March, I know that I'll be one of those joining the expedition to Ulbuka's savage lands, but until then, I am certainly awaiting Adoulin!

The United States is now dusting off the WMD argument as it makes preparations to intervene militarily in Syria.
On Tuesday, U.S. officialdom said the Syrian regime may be "cooking up recipes" at multiple sites to arm chemical weapons, according to CNN.
The statement followed an earlier one issued on Monday that said the Syrian army had started combining chemicals that could be used to make sarin gas weapons and underscored statements made by Obama about the use of chemical weapons. Obama said there would be "dire consequences" if Syria used chemicals weapons.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton followed Obama's warning by stating that the U.S. military would "take action" if Syria crossed the chemical weapons "red line." Clinton said the Obama administration is "certainly planning to take action if that eventuality were to occur."
Clinton and Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg discussed Syria's chemical weapons during a meeting on Monday, according to CBS News. Schwarzenberg had hosted a conference on the issue last month.
Also on Monday, NATO warned the government of Bashar al-Assad not to use chemical weapons in its ongoing war against CIA-MI6 supported mercenaries and al-Qaeda terrorists.
"The possible use of chemical weapons would be completely unacceptable for the whole international community and if anybody resorts to these terrible weapons I would expect an immediate reaction from the international community," said NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen from Brussels.
In addition, the French Foreign Ministry mentioned "possible movements on military bases storing chemical weapons in Syria."
The Syrian Foreign Ministry has denied it is preparing to use chemical weapons and has repeatedly stated it would not use them against the people of Syria under any circumstances.
The latest dust-up over Syria's chemical weapons is basically a re-run of the pretext used in the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
"The truth is that for reasons that have a lot to do with the U.S. government bureaucracy we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on which was weapons of mass destruction as the core reason" for invading Iraq, said Assistant Secretary of Defense, Paul Wolfowitz, two months after the invasion.
It was determined prior to and after the invasion that Iraq had long before dismantled its chemical and nuclear weapons programs. Shrill warnings on the part of the Bush administration and neocons embedded in the Pentagon were predicated on cynical fabrications and out right lies.
The neocons pushed the criminal Ahmed Chalabi and his "source" – the Baghdad cab driver known as "curveball" – who stated that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. This fantasy and others were amplified by the New York Times (in particular, journalist Judith Miller) and the establishment media in order to cobble together a consensus for invasion.
A similar effort is now underway in regard to Syria. Warnings about Syrian chemicals weapons coincide with the arrival of Patriot missiles on the Turkey-Syria border as the U.S. and NATO prepare for direct military intervention to unseat al-Assad and replace his government with one that mirrors the one installed in Libya: a factionalized (and thus controllable) government rife with al-Qaeda and fanatical Salafist terrorists.

Lipstick Sun
I rescued a bunch of gloriosa daisies that were dragged down by the last storm, followed by the intense heat, and stuck them in pitchers and vases of water in my house, which is now transformed into a 3D Vincent Van Gogh painting, as these "daisies" resemble sunflowers!
This collage that I call "Lipstick Sun" is by Delilah Jones, and you can see more of her work over at Escape Into Life, where today's poetry blog post is about the speaker and the persona in poetry. And I quote Emily Dickinson's "I'm Nobody!" poem, which has June in it. And it links to work by Sandy Longhorn and Jeannine Hall Gailey. (And their blogs are in the blogroll here, if you want to know more about them.)

I loved your Disappearing I post.....this is a really interesting idea.
It's the first question I always ask my students about a poem--"Who's talking?" And sometimes it is really hard to answer that question.

Glad you like the art AND vanilla, Sandy!
Hannah, exactly! Who is the speaker? Who is the "I" and, if it's a poem of direct address, who is the "you," etc.!

Now that's how you open an awards show.
Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj put any possible feud rumors to an official rest Sunday night when they performed together as the opening act of the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.
As the rapper was singing "The Night Is Still Young," Swift appeared in a sparkling red dress and joined in on the No. 1 single. Soon after, Minaj began collaborating with the VMA nominee for her hit track "Bad Blood."
U.S. & World
The performance comes more than a month after the twosome made headlines with a war of words on Twitter following an announcement of the first VMA nominations. Swift was nominated in the coveted Video of the Year category for "Bad Blood" but Minaj was snubbed.
"If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year," Minaj had said on Twitter.
NEWS: Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift are "all good" after their Twitter misunderstanding: "We were cracking up laughing"
Swift, who features several supermodels in her video, appeared to take the singer's words personally and wrote, "@NICKIMINAJ I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot."
Minaj later said she was not talking about Swift, who apologized and invited the rapper to come up on stage with her if she wins, adding, "You're invited to any stage I'm ever on."
Days later, Minaj said on "Good Morning America" she had spoken to Swift on the phone and that they're "all good."
The almost-feud had drawn the attention of Katy Perry, who is rumored to be the subject of Swift's nominated "Bad Blood" video. Recently VMAs host Miley Cyrus weighed in, telling The New York Times, "What I read sounded very Nicki Minaj, which, if you know Nicki Minaj is not too kind. It's not very polite."
But now that Swift and Minaj have let bygones be bygones and have shared the stage together, how about an encore? Will the rapper join her squad and make a cameo on her "1989" tour?

"Apollo I look back on as the turning point of my life. In its discipline and restraint, in its sustained oneness of tone and feeling, the score was a revelation. It seemed to tell me that I could dare not to use everything, that I, too, could eliminate."

Taylor Swift Drops Clue #3 [PHOTO]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Taylor Swift is one busy lady.
The singer, who has already dropped Clue #1 and Clue #2 about what we assume and hope is her new music, has just hinted at Clue #3, which is simply a screenshot of the Yahoo! search engine logo. Hmmm…
While we don't know for sure what Taylor's three clues add up to — in addition to the Yahoo! logo, she has posted a video of her finger hitting a button with the number 18 on it, as well as a screenshot of her phone at 5:00 with her kitten Olivia Benson as the background — right now all signs point to a new single dropping on Aug. 18 at 5 PM on Yahoo! Eeek!
To add to that theory, Swift's lead singles from her last two albums were released in August, with 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' from 'Red' dropping on August 13, 2012, and 'Mine' from 'Speak Now' dropping on August 4, 2010. And if she were to drop a new single on the 18th, chances are she'd perform it live for the first time at the 2014 MTV VMAs, where she is scheduled to perform.
In addition to droppin' those hints, Swift is also gearing up for the release of her new movie, 'The Giver' (in theaters Aug. 15) and is set to appear on both 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' on Aug. 13 and 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' on Aug. 14.
Swifties, check out Taylor Swift's third clue in the Instagram picture below, and get ready for a month chock-full of Taylor!

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Jamie Benn had two goals and an assist to leading the Stars in a 5-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night.
Tyler Seguin had his team-leading 35th goal, and Vernon Fiddler and Antoine Roussel also scored for Dallas. Kari Lehtonen stopped 27 shots.
Steven Stamkos and Andrej Sustr scored for Tampa Bay, aand Ben Bishop finished with 23 saves.
Benn produced all of his points in the first period. The left winger opened the scoring 40 seconds in, redirecting a shot by Alex Goligoski from along the right boards into the left side of the net. He struck again at the 5:37 mark, snapping a shot past Bishop from the right circle.
Two minutes later, Lightning defenseman Radko Gudas was dealt a match penalty for an illegal check to Roussel's head. Dallas failed to capitalize on the five-minute major, but Benn and his brother Jordie set up Seguin late in the period to make it 3-0.
Tampa Bay responded with a pair of goals early in the second period. Stamkos scored two minutes in, and Sustr lifted a rebound past Lehtonen at 6:44 for his first NHL goal.
Fiddler and Roussel beat Bishop with backhanders in the third to secure the victory that lifted Dallas past Phoenix into the second wild-card position in the Western Conference. The Stars last reached the postseason in 2008.
NOTES: Sustr was recalled from the AHL on Friday. . Tampa Bay D Mike Kostka missed his second game with a concussion that resulted in a three-game league suspension for Montreal D Douglas Murray. . Dallas LW Erik Cole (upper body) returned after being sidelined seven games. Stars LW Ray Whitney (lower body) sat out for the first time since Jan. 2. . During a pregame ceremony on the plaza, the Lightning unveiled a bronze statue depicting former captain Dave Andreychuk raising the 2004 Stanley Cup.

The Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that the imprisonment of Detroit International Bridge Co. bigs Manuel "Matty" Moroun and Dan Stamper was improper.
Last month, Wayne Circuit Judge Prentiss Edwards imprisoned the two for failing to follow a court order to finish the Gateway Project that the state sank millions into a few years back.
In a majority opinion, Judge Kirsten Frank Kelly said the judge's order wasn't specific enough to keep Moroun and Stamper in jail.
We cannot uphold the trial court's commitment order where the condition for release requires DIBC to "fully" comply with the February 1, 2010, order as it failed to identify "the act or duty" which must be performed before the incarceration may be terminated. MCL 600.1715(2). While appellants may have the present immediate ability to commence and continue construction, they do not have the present immediate ability to actually finish the construction in accordance with the directives set forth in the February 1, 2010, opinion and order for a period of six to twelve months. Therefore, the condition does not permit appellants to use the keys to obtain their release until the project is completed, or, in other words, "to avoid the sentence" and purge the contempt. Our decision does not preclude further civil contempt sanctions, including imprisonment that was similar to the one imposed by the trial court in January 2011. However, we leave this decision to discretion of the trial court to identify the act or duty appellants will be required to perform, that will coerce the initiation and continuation of compliance with the February 1, 2010, order within the confines of the case law and the statute for civil contempt sanctions.
Judge Kurtis Wilder concurred re: the imprisonment, but Judge Karen Fort Hood said she would have upheld the sanction.

As a growing number of homes contain more than one computer, their users must find ways to network them. The primary purpose for creating a home network tends to be to provide Internet access to all computers within the house. There are other good reasons, however. These include enabling LAN gaming, data backups from one machine to another and the sharing of music within the home.

Kenneth Starr and the Independent Counsel Act
Some observers have been shocked by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's prosecutorial intrusion into the private life of President Clinton at a critical moment of our international affairs. They deplore his use of his powers in order to pursue possible misstatements in an ongoing private civil lawsuit. Such disapproving observers divide between those who blame Starr himself, those who blame the Independent Counsel Act, and those who blame both. How are we to assess such claims?
In the outrage following the "Saturday Night Massacre," when Archibald Cox, in the middle of his investigation of President Nixon, was abruptly discharged by the acting attorney general on orders from the President, Congress passed the Independent Coun-sel Act to protect future independent counsels from arbitrary dismissal. While permitting removal of an independent counsel by an attorney general, the act required that the attorney general show appropriate cause for such removal and that the removal be subject to review by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
The statute went beyond this protection, however, and made it mandatory that the attorney general request the appointment of an independent counsel whenever he or she receives specific and credible evidence that the president (or other high-ranking officer in the executive branch of government) "may have violated any federal criminal law (other than certain misdemeanors)." This has been interpreted to apply to alleged misconduct by a high-ranking federal officer prior to his election or appointment and to misconduct unrelated to the discharge of the duties of his office—e.g., Whitewater, concerning a financial transaction several years before President Clinton's first election. It has also been interpreted to apply to the investigation and prosecution of former Associate Attorney General Webster Hubbell for misconduct prior to his appointment to federal office, and to the investigation of President Carter's chief of staff for alleged use of a forbidden drug.
The statute preserves the duty, which the attorney general has always had, to disqualify the Department of Justice from pursuing an investigation, and to substitute an independent counsel, if he or she perceives a conflict of interest. In any of these cases, if the attorney general concludes that there are "reasonable grounds to believe that further investigation is warranted," he or she must request a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to select the independent counsel. While the attorney general must supply the appointing court with information to assist it, the actual definition of the prosecutorial jurisdiction is left to the court.
If, after appointment, the independent counsel receives information about a federal criminal law violation not included within his original prosecutorial jurisdiction, he may submit this information to the attorney general, who is then required to conduct a preliminary investigation and determine whether to approve the extension of jurisdiction. In making this decision, the attorney general must accord "great weight" to the…

Protein is often the most expensive food purchase, and this fact hasn't changed with the rise in food prices. However, beef and pork are still relatively affordable and plating more of these proteins can help control the bottom line.
Meat is usually a restaurant's priciest food purchase. But even though wholesale food costs have skyrocketed over the past year, the current news isn't all dismal at the center of the plate. Red meats haven't been hit as hard as wheat, eggs and dairy products. Yet.
"The supply of beef and pork is ample to excessive right now," says Bill Lapp, president of Advanced Economic Solutions, a commodity analysis company in Omaha, Nebraska. "Although there's been a dramatic increase in feed costs, producers haven't responded yet with significant price increases."
With hog farmers currently losing $20 a head and cattlemen, about $100 a head, there's been an ongoing effort to reduce inventory, but the effects won't be seen until 2009. Lower supplies and continued high prices for feed lead Lapp to expect meat prices to be the issue next year. To minimize sticker shock, operators and meat experts offer buying strategies you can put into practice right now.
Traditional cuts like the inside skirt steak and flank steak are good buys now, according to the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, but for the long term, operators should take a look at the chuck. "There are new cuts that are terrific values right now: the New Delmonico Steak, Boneless Country-style Beef Ribs and a roast that performs well with dry-cooking methods—all cut from the chuck eye roll (IMPS 116D)," says Jane Gibson, executive director of foodservice marketing for NCBA. "In addition, the Denver Steak is available, cut from the chuck roll underblade serratus ventralis [116E]. Like the Flat Iron, Petite Tender and Ranch steaks that were introduced in 2001-2002, these new cuts can help to improve margins without compromise."
The new cuts resulted from ongoing muscle profiling research by the NCBA. Packers are beginning to roll them out and preliminary testing by chefs and R&D teams is showing that they perform well and provide good value. When braised, the beef ribs are similar in taste and texture to costlier short ribs and the steaks can sub for more expensive loins or ribeyes.
To keep up with the competition, the National Pork Board has been doing its own muscle profiling studies, fabricating cuts from the leg and shoulder as opposed to the pricier loin. A cut from the shoulder that's making headway is the boneless pork breast, labeled by some packers as the Pork Flat Iron Steak, reports Paul Perfilio, national foodservice marketing manager for the NPB. It can readily stand in for boneless loin pork chops in entrees.
Another new item comes from the leg; it's a flap of meat that looks like a mini flank steak. "We're calling it a Cap Steak," says Perfilio. "Most operators are cutting it into strips to use in stir-fries and fajitas."
A third muscle—also extracted from the leg—has been named the Pocket Roast. It cooks up especially well on the rotisserie and the cooked meat can be sliced for Cubans and other sandwiches.
"We looked at underutilized muscles that could be extracted, changing the way the pig was fabricated in the past," Perfilio explains. "We whittled down the choices from 21 to three, all of which turned out to be really flavorful and lower in cost to the operator."
With veal cutlets going for $13 per pound and rack for $17, the veal industry is making a big push to bring more affordable cuts to foodservice. Economical breasts, ribs, cubed steak, sausages and ground veal for burgers, chili and meatballs have been available for some time, but four "new" muscles have recently been introduced to the market. They include a Bone-in Tuscan Chop, a Double Bone Rib Chop, Osso Buco for Two (a larger shank portion) and Boneless Osso Buco derived from the square cut chuck—all from the inside portion of the veal shoulder. They were "discovered" as the result of a veal optimization study conducted by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association.
"We are trying to market the whole animal so we can have veal available at a price per serving that's affordable to casual restaurants," says Dean Conklin, executive director of veal marketing for NCBA. Some of these new cuts can come in as low as $3 per serving food cost.
Although the American Lamb Board is not fabricating any new muscles, they are promoting the tremendous potential and flavor of the leg. "Rather than cook a whole leg, we are suggesting that operators take apart the lamb leg and look at its quality cuts," says marketing director Megan Wortman. These include the top round, sirloin and hind shank plus meat that can be ground for burgers or cubed for kebabs.
Jennifer Jasinski, chef at Rioja Restaurant in Denver, buys whole Colorado lamb legs that she breaks down to use in several menu items—from a roast lamb entree to housemade lamb chorizo for a pizza appetizer. "I use lamb legs because I fabricate them differently than any of the meat packers I know and it is the most efficient way to buy and menu lamb," she notes.

In Visual Studio 2008, the C# compiler supports some new and quite interesting features. Some of them are just a pinch of syntactic sugar to save the developer the burden of some repetitive and imperative tasks such as creating quite simple getters and setters for class properties. Some other features, instead, add new capabilities to the language and the .NET programming platform as a whole. In this regard, the ASP.NET platform is no exception. In this article, I briefly discuss anonymous types with the goal of delimiting clearly their realm and avoid misuse.
To start off, what's an "anonymous" type and how is it different from a regular "known" type? Quite simply, an anonymous type is an unnamed type. So the only difference with a regular known .NET type is merely in the name. For the Common Language Runtime (CLR), in fact, anonymous and named types are exactly the same entity. Anonymous types can be used in a variety of scenarios, but they have been introduced primarily to support LINQ queries throughout the .NET and ASP.NET platform.
Here's what an anonymous type looks like:
var person = new { FirstName="Nancy", LastName="Davolio", Age=28 };
In the .NET Framework, the language compiler generates a class on the fly. However, the class has no human-readable and usable name and it inherits directly from System.Object. The developer may get to know the name of the dynamically generated class using the GetType method, but this piece of information is hardly useful. For example, if invoke te method GetType on the person variable defined earlier, here's what you obtain:
Is this a piece of information you reckon useful? That's why these types are referred to as anonymous types. You should note that the name of the anonymous type is not strictly related to value or properties names, but it entirely compiler generated. So it may be different from compilation to compilation. As you can see, this is an even better reason not to rely on the name of an anonymous type in your coding.
Just because there's no class definition, the list of members includes only the properties you specify when you declare the object. The type of these properties is inferred and is then reported in the hidden type name.
As mentioned, anonymous types exist mostly (only?) to serve LINQ queries, but is there some other scenario where they can be helpful? In reality, not many.
Anonymous types work well in local scenarios where you need a temporary object to contain logically-related values. Needless to say, if you have other needs such as fields or methods, then just stick to named types and forget about anonymous types. Anonymous types can't be used in any situation where a type is expected. For example, you can hardly pass an anonymous type as a named type is expected and there's no syntax that lets you specify an anonymous type. The best you can do is trying to use an anonymous type where an Object is expected.
void Foo(object o) { ... }
However, within the method you can't address any of the properties of the anonymous type. All that you can do is using reflection.
void Foo(object o) { Type t = o.GetType(); PropertyInfo pi = t.GetProperty("FirstName"); string v = pi.GetValue(o, null) as string; Console.WriteLine(v); return; }
In this case, it will work. But is it worth the effort? Using anonymous types across methods is strongly discouraged. Consider that two objects are of the same anonymous type only if they live in the same assembly, use the same properties with the same names and types and listed in the same order.
The C# and Visual Basic .NET compilers needed anonymous types as a foundation for their LINQ support. Besides this, avoid anonymous types.

Even without Brady, Patriots topple Jets
Recommended Video:
Life without Tom Brady might not be so bad for New England after all.
Matt Cassel was efficient running the offense in his first NFL start, taking over for the injured quarterback and leading the Patriots over Brett Favre and the New York Jets 19-10 on Sunday.
"I thought Matt did a good job," coach Bill Belichick said. "It wasn't perfect. We had some rough spots. He did a good job of making good decisions. He didn't put us in any bad situations and made some good positive plays. I thought he managed the game well."
Cassel, who hadn't started at any level since his senior year of high school, was 16-of-23 for 165 yards, Sammy Morris ran for a touchdown and Stephen Gostkowski kicked four field goals.
"At the end of the day, you've got to have more points than the other team and that's what we did, so I'm satisfied," Cassel said. "I didn't have too many butterflies going out. I've been in the system for four years, so I'm confident I know I can run it."
The Jets, slight favorites going in, and Patriots receiver Randy Moss said New England was still the team to beat even without Brady, who was lost for the season last Sunday when he injured his left knee against Kansas City.
The Patriots (2-0) then showed why, ruining the Jets' home opener and Favre's first regular-season home start for New York.
"We knew we had to play our best football to win," Favre said, "and we weren't able to do that."
New England won its 21st straight regular-season game, and beat the Jets for the eighth straight time at the Meadowlands.
"To come in here, to this hostile environment, and win when everyone picked you to lose, is great," safety Rodney Harrison said. "With all the stuff we had to go through and endure last week with Tom, this is a great victory."
Favre went 18-of-26 for 181 yards and a TD for the Jets (1-1), but the Patriots took advantage of a big mistake by the veteran.
With the Jets facing a third-and-22 from their 11, Favre ran out of the pocket to his left and flung a pass to Chansi Stuckey for 28 yards. But three plays later, Favre made a poor decision, hanging a pass intended for Chris Baker that was easily picked off by Brandon Meriweather. It was Favre's first interception with the Jets.
"I just underthrew it," Favre said. "I saw the guy and maybe I got a little greedy. ... I made a bad throw. I'd like to tell you something different."
On third-and-9 from the 30, Cassel threw a screen to Kevin Faulk, who got a few blocks and got down to the 8. Three plays later, Morris leaped over the pile for a 1-yard TD to make it 13-3.
"A lot of it is comfort level," said Cassel, who backed up Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at Southern California. "I don't have as much experience as Tom, of course, but I think I was OK managing the game."
Gostkowski added a 28-yard field goal with 17 seconds left in the third period.
Favre led the Jets back into it, connecting with Stuckey for a 2-yard touchdown with 10:18 left, but Gostkowski kicked a 27-yard field goal to make it 19-10 as the Patriots ticked 5 minutes off the clock.
"We cut it to six and it was a chance for us to give them the ball back right away and give them a chance to go score, but we couldn't get it done," safety Kerry Rhodes said. "In those situations, you've got to make those kinds of plays."
The Jets went three-and-out on their next possession, and the Patriots ran out the clock to seal it.
"They kept it simple," Rhodes said. "They didn't want (Cassel) to lose the game, so they did a lot of screens and safe passes. They tried to keep it safe for him."
The Jets had their opening 11-play drive end with Jay Feely, filling in for the injured Mike Nugent, missing a 31-yard attempt. Cassel then led the Patriots on a 12-play drive, capped by Gostkowski's 21-yard field goal. Gostkowski's 37-yarder gave the Patriots a 6-0 lead.
"It's only one game," Coles said. "Our season doesn't hang on one game. We still have 14 more left to play."
Notes: Patriots RB Laurence Maroney left in the first quarter with a shoulder injury and didn't return. ... Moss worked mostly against double coverage and was held to two catches for 22 yards. ... Former Jets RB LaMont Jordan had all 62 of his yards rushing in the second half for the Patriots. ... Jones led all rushers with 70 yards on 17 carries.

MARINA DEL REY, CA — Joe Gold's death brought to a close a long piece of the health club industry's history. The 82-year-old Gold, who founded Gold's Gym and World Gym, died in his sleep on July 11 in Los Angeles. Media reports state he had been suffering from heart and kidney problems.
Club Industry magazine had selected Gold to receive its Lifetime Achievement Award at the Club Industry show in October. Because of illness, Gold was sending World Gym CEO and President Mike Uretz, who had been a long-time friend and business partner, to the ceremony to accept the award for him. Uretz still plans to attend the event and deliver Gold's remarks.
"He was very pleased and honored to know that he was going to be recognized by Club Industry and his only regret was that he couldn't receive the award in person," Uretz said before Gold's death.
Gold founded Gold's Gym in 1965 in Venice Beach, CA, as a gym for bodybuilders. The gym became famous after being featured in the film Pumping Iron with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno. Gold sold Gold's Gym in the mid 1970s only to start up World Gym in the late 1970s.
Gold won several bodybuilding titles and honors. He was a member of the Body Building Hall of Fame.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, former bodybuilder and action film star, worked out at Gold's Gym when he arrived in America from Austria in 1968.
"Joe looked after me and encouraged me, and his dry sense of humor was a daily feature of the gym," Schwarzenegger said in a statement released by his office after Gold's death. "Joe was a trusted friend and father figure and was instrumental in my training during my days as a bodybuilder. Gold's Gym was not only a training facility but it became a home to me. Joe was an inspiration to many and his death is felt deeply in the entire health and fitness community."
Gold, who never married, leaves no family. He does, however, leave the legacy of Gold's Gym, his 300 World Gyms and the thousands of body builders, gym owners and fitness people that he influenced.

WatchGuard Security Services
WatchGuard offers the most comprehensive portfolio of network security services, from traditional IPS, GAV, application control, spam blocking, and web filtering to more advanced services for protecting against advanced malware, ransomware, and the loss of sensitive data. WatchGuard also offers a full suite of network visibility and management services.
Fundamental Security Services
IPS uses continually updated signatures to scan traffic on all major protocols to provide realtime protection against network threats, including spyware, SQL injections, cross-site scripting, and buffer overflows.
A powerful, cloud-based reputation lookup service that protects web users from malicious sites and botnets, while dramatically improving web processing overhead.
A subscription-based service for Firebox appliances that generates a visual map of all nodes on your network so you can easily see where you may be at risk.
In addition to automatically blocking known malicious sites, WebBlocker's granular content and URL filtering tools enable you to block inappropriate content, conserve network bandwidth, and increase employee productivity.
Selectively allow, block, or restrict access to applications based on a user's department, job function, and time of day and to then see, in real-time, what's being accessed on your network and by whom.
Leverage our continuously updated signatures to identify and block known spyware, viruses, trojans, worms, rogueware and blended threats - including new variants of known viruses. At the same time, heuristic analysis tracks down suspicious data constructions and actions to make sure unknown viruses don't slip by.
Real-time spam detection for protection from outbreaks. Our spamBlocker is so fast and effective, it can review up to 4 billion messages per day.
Advanced Security Services
APT Blocker uses an awardwinning next-gen sandbox to detect and stop the most sophisticated attacks including ransomware, zero day threats and other advanced malware.
This service prevents accidental or malicious data loss by scanning text and common file types to detect sensitive information attempting to leave the network.
Access Portal provides central location for access to cloud-hosted applications, and secure, clientless access to internal resources with RDP and SSH.
Correlate network and endpoint security events with enterprise-grade threat intelligence to detect, prioritize and enable immediate action to stop malware attacks. Improve visibility by evolving your existing security model to extend past prevention, to now include correlation, detection and response.

Columbus (Georgia)
Columbus is a great example of a true river city, once a major center for textile manufacturing. Founded in 1828, Columbus is also known for being the site of the last battle of the Civil War, where Columbus ranked second to Richmond in the manufacture of supplies for the Confederate army. Columbus was also one of the most important industrial centers of the south in the early 1900s.
Its historic elements remain while it possesses all the aspects of a modern city. Its small town feel is still kept intact despite being Georgia's third largest city with a population near 190,000.
Get in[edit]
By car[edit]
From the north: I-185 is easily accessible and leads to downtown.
From the south: U.S. Route 27 through Fort Benning, then on to I-185.
From the east: U.S. Route 80 leads to downtown.
From the west: U.S. Route 431 also leads to downtown.
By plane[edit]
Columbus Airport (IATA: CSG) [5] has recently been redesigned to reflect the city's modern feel. From the main terminal, downtown Columbus' skyline can be seen in the background. Many rental car companies, METRA transit, local taxis, and other ground transportation are on the lower level to take you to other places in Columbus.
By bus[edit]
Greyhound Bus Lines[6], provides bus service to Columbus from many locations throughout the southern United States. Buses arrive at and depart from the Greyhound terminal at 818 Veterans Parkway, located in downtown.
Get around[edit]
By public transit[edit]
By car[edit]
The major north-south street through Downtown is Broadway, and the major east-west street is 13th Street. The recent addition of parking meters in downtown can make parking both frustrating and challenging, but there are several public parking garages. However these garages usually charge a fee from $2-$5 to use their garage.
On foot[edit]
Downtown Columbus is a good area to see in the daytime by simply walking. Downtown is roughly one mile by one mile, bounded in the north by 15th Street, the south by Victory Drive, the east by 10th Street, and the west by Front Avenue and the Chattahoochee River.
By horse and carriage[edit]
Horse and carriage is a relaxed option for seeing the city at a more leisurely pace and is abundant throughout downtown.

Historic Districts[edit]
Columbus is home to the following 7 historic districts, all listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

Orlando_cardoso necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 83 diseños de 24 diseñadores freelance.
Tech Challenge
The Tech Challenge is an Intuit wide contest focusing energy on the key aspects of a highly relevant, tech paradigm shift. Teams of employees will band together across the company to compete for fabulous prizes.
This first Tech Challenge will focus on developing Apps for the iPad. Subsequent challenges could focus on Android, Mobile Development, Data, Gaming, whatever.
I'm an engineer who somehow convinced our company to do this.
The logo should primarily appeal to the 1000+ engineers and designers at Intuit. It should secondarily appeal to the rest of Intuit.. managers, support folks, etc.
Important Note: The Challenge will be issued November 17th. If possible, I'd like to settle on a winner by mid day Monday. Sorry for the last minute nature... someone bailed on me.
I'm looking for a logo that is cool-technical, but not specific to a particular technology. For this first challenge we're playing with a Matrix theme for the call to action (see attachment), but we want the logo to be reusable for future challenges. In other words, as cool as it would be, the logo shouldn't be Matrix-like.
The only requirement is that it needs to say "Tech Challenge". Otherwise you have complete artistic freedom.
Space wise it will live on our website(see attachment), but could also go on tshirts and posters. It will be a sister to our Tech-Forum, see attachment for that logo. The Tech-Forum logo does change year over year, so don't worry too much about being consistent with it.
Cool tech images that might be inspiring:

Ishan was demonstrating all the photographs to the relatives and they were all glad to see that. They began teasing him. While seeing this Aparna considers her past.
The scene starts with Gautham getting some information about his adoration with Vidhya. Seenu was irate however puts on a show to let him know that Gautham needs motivation to leave Vidhya. Seenu lets him know that on the off chance that he is truly worried about Vidhya's life he wouldn't have hitched him and it demolished 3 individuals' life. Gautham proceeds with that there is no misstep on Vidhya's end yet she endures and he needs to see her upbeat and asks Seenu whether he can keep her cheerful constantly. Seenu was tranquilly listening to his discussion.

The most important question at Microsoft's Gamescom play session on Tuesday? What are they serving for lunch? That question answered here.
Perhaps my fascination with the food served at press gatherings stems from the fact that 90% of my Gamescom diet comes from exactly these sorts of boxes. Well, not exactly these sorts of boxes. This long, thin, corrugated cardboard number emblazoned with the label "Play Lunch" is special, if only because of that sticker.
Inside there were a bag of BBQ chips, an apple, a weird sort of chicken wrap thing, and a blueberry muffin, not pictured. Alas, the muffin was the best of the box, and didn't last long enough to get its 15 seconds of fame. Maybe later.
Probably not.
The most notable thing about this lunch is that there was actual flavor to the wrap. It was a little tangy, and even a bit spicy. You don't get that in North America. In the U.S., they are afraid actual taste might offend someone, so they limit the flavors allowed in any box lunch to salty, and that only covers the chips.

Sensor Info Reveals Titan Probe Landing
You know the story of the Princess and the Pea. What about the space probe and the pebble?
In 2005 the European Huygens probe landed on Saturn's moon Titan and provided an unprecedented look at the surface. But what happened in the first seconds after touchdown wasn't clear.
Now a re-analysis of Huygens sensor data has reconstructed the bouncing, skidding moments before the probe came to rest on Titan—apparently on top of a small rock. The report is in the journal Planetary and Space Science. [Stefan E. Schröder, Erich Karkoschka and Ralph D. Lorenz, Bouncing on Titan: Motion of the Huygens probe in the seconds after landing]
The parachuting probe hit the surface of Titan at about 10 miles per hour. According to the new study, the impact created a hole in the ground a few inches deep. But Huygens bounced out and slid across the surface before coming to rest with a wobble. The sliding motion implies that Titan's surface was a bit like damp sand. And the speed of the probe's wobble suggests that Huygens bumped against a rock less than an inch across.
Again, that's a reconstruction based on sensor data, but the researchers contend it's a likely scenario. Regardless, it makes a nice story. Like the Princess and the Pea.

Manning throws first TD pass as Bronco
Denver, CO – Throughout the offseason, the San Francisco 49ers were rumored to be interested in acquiring Peyton Manning.
Manning showed the 49ers what they might be missing on Sunday, although the Niners rallied to beat the Denver Broncos, 29-24.
Manning led Denver to points on all three of his drives, going 10-for-12 with 122 yards and a pair of touchdown passes.
Eric Decker, who made four catches for 38 yards, was on the receiving end of both scores.
For San Francisco, Alex Smith completed 5-of-7 passes for 69 yards, including a 44-yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis.
Manning worked Denver into San Francisco territory on the game's opening drive before Matt Prater came on to hit a 53-yard field goal.
After San Francisco went three-and-out, Manning tossed his first touchdown pass as a Bronco. Following a 38-yard strike to Lance Ball on which Manning took a hard shot from Parys Haralson, he found Decker for a 10-yard touchdown.
After Smith fumbled a botched snap, Manning took advantage of the prime field position. Four players later, he hit Decker in the back, left corner of the end zone for a five-yard touchdown, giving Denver a 17-point advantage.
The Broncos tried an onside kick attempt, but it failed to go 10 yards, setting San Francisco up at the 44. On the following play, Smith found Davis wide open up the left sideline for a 44-yard touchdown late in the first quarter.
On his second pass, Caleb Hanie was picked off by Perrish Cox, leading to a 33-yard David Akers field goal.
Hanie led Denver to a touchdown with 26 seconds left in the half when he found Joel Dreessen for a five-yard TD to open up a 24-10 lead at half.
The second half was all San Francisco. Anthony Dixon ran for 58 yards on 13 carries, including a 26-yard touchdown to bring San Francisco within a score.
Colin Kaepernick was strong in the second half, completing all four of his throws for 80 yards and leading the Niners to 13 points to cut the lead to one.
Rock Cartwright broke off a 27-yard run to set up Akers' go-ahead, 49-yard field goal to put the Niners up, 26-24.
Akers added another field goal with under four minutes left to cap the scoring.

Usually, as you go back in time, things are spelled more intuitively/phonetically, not less. Can you confirm what I'm seeing and that it specifically is not an error? I'm not super-familiar with that time-period, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

It's fine
Last night's game against the Phils was a doozy. I couldn't make the SNY party at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone, but I imagine all the bikini models were nervously biting their fingernails straight through the 13th inning. Or maybe that was just me. Ugh, I had such a nervous, twisty stomach that started as soon as our lovely 7-run lead shrank to a measly 1-run margin. I was hanging out with a (happy) Red Sox fan who provided decent moral support, but still. It was a tough loss.
BUT. It's not even September yet. It's quite possible every game will be a nail-biter from now on. The Mets have some adversity to face. No Billy Wagner. No John Maine. And now a quad strain for Ramon Castro. So, while every game is important–perhaps more so at this point than any other year I've been a fan so far–we still have enough games left that the race is on and undecided. If we're still separated by half a game in two weeks? Then I'll be wringing my hands. For the meantime, the offense and bullpen will just have to get it together and pick each other up. Is it hoping for a miracle to win games without a closer? If it is, then that's what I expect.
I'll end with a Will-ism that once made me laugh. What do we say about Aaron throwing 60 pitches (all watched with my hands over my face) without giving up a run? L'Cheilman!

About Video Conferencing
The Gateway Center's video conferencing equipment was generously provided by a grant from the Mount Hood Cable Regulatory Commission. This equipment allows petitioner's to interact with a judge through a TV or computer and saves you the time and hassle of going downtown to the Mulnomah County courthouse. It also is designed so that you feel more safe and less intimidated as you access legal services.
