his series includes books that depict different aspects of what it
means to live in Wyoming. Each writer explores both the myth and
the reality of the people and place. Whether in the memoirs, short
stories, poems or non-fiction narratives of this series, each shows
the loveliness and harshness, the humor and the romance of life lived
or imagined in Wyoming.
John Mcphee's Rising from the
Plains (1986) weaves together the
personal history of Rocky Mountain
geologist David Love and his family
with the geology and history of the
region. He also details the search for
resources and the environment effects
of their discovery.
The recently published anthology Deep West (2003) offers a
sample of the work of nineteen contemporary Wyoming writers. Selections
include poetry, short stories and nonfiction and are accompanied by the
authors' essays assessing how living in
Wyoming has influenced their writing.
Pulitzer prizewinner Annie
Proulx's collection of eleven short
stories in Close Range (1999) deals with
loneliness, violence and love. Bound to
disturb the reader who anticipates
myths of the West, the stories are both
harsh and humorous as they depict the
lives of luckless cowboys and ranchers
left behind by the modern world.
In What You See in Clear Water
(2000), Geoffrey O'Gara traces the
history of the Wind River Indian Reservation
and its residents, the Shoshone
and the Arapaho, as they face the hardships
of poverty, suicide, and the indifference
or hostility of neighbors outside
the reservation. O'Gara narrates the
story of the recent conflict between
Indians and whites over water rights to
the Wind River.
Where Rivers Change Direction
(1999) is Mark Spragg's memoir
of growing up on a dude ranch in
Wyoming, wrangling horses for his
father, hunting, meeting guests from all
over the country who have come to the
west to experience its mythology,
marrying and divorcing, and caring for
his mother before her death. The essays
are compelling stories of place and self.
As a resident of a small
Wyoming town, David
Romtvedt has written the collection
Windmill: Essays from Four Mile Ranch
(1997) about the rural West, using the
windmill as a metaphor. These pieces
concern various topics including his
small town, the local economy and
culture, sheep, death, weather, and
being a non-hunter.

I Care If You Listen October 2012
Anyone who writes music has to figure out how to balance structure and emotion. Logic and unpredictability. But experimental and avant-garde composers have a distinct set of problems not faced by most musicians. By definition, they're operating outside normal musical parameters; that's kind of the point of making strange music. (From here on out, I'm going to just use "outsider music" to mean all the experimental/avant-garde/atonal/free-improv/etc kind of stuff that operates outside of popular music…the kind of stuff you probably enjoy if you're reading this blog).

ARTER's First Sound Art Project Opens with Erdem Helvacıoğlu's "Freedom to the Black" 9-26 February 2012 In 1970, a group of New York avant-garde artists called Fluxus, organized a public performance that involved an unusual way to play a piano. Fluxus' founder, George Maciunas, invited French performance artist Ben Vautier to perform Maciunas' "Piano Piece" which required nailing down all the white keys of an upright piano, one by one, thus leaving only the black keys to function. This performance was one of several the group did in seven European cities, in which...Read more

The first time I saw botas picudas was in a WalMart parking lot. The boys piled into the car with Suegra while Carlos and I put the groceries into the trunk. Across the row, a group of young Mexican guys walked by and caught my eye.
I nudged Carlos. "Look at those boots!"
These tipos were decked out – cowboy hats, jeans tighter than I could ever hope to fit into, fancy button-down shirts, big belt buckles, and these pointy toed boots I couldn't take my eyes off of.
Carlos sneered and went back to putting groceries into the car.
"If we find you boots like that, will you wear them?!" I asked, handing him a bag from the cart.
"No. They look ridiculous," he answered, before reminding me for the millionth time that he wasn't Espinoza Paz, he wasn't Mexican, and he wasn't even from the Salvadoran countryside – he's a city boy.
I watched the Mexican guys get into their truck and pouted. That was a year ago and I still haven't convinced Carlos to buy a pair of botas picudas. In fact, the fashion has gotten so out of hand that now he definitely wants nothing to do with it.
Apparently the men wearing these boots got a little competitive about whose boots were longer and pointier, (*ahem* … we are talking about BOOTS here but it makes you wonder.) … Now, some of the botas picudas can be so long that the wearer attaches the tip of the boot to their wrists to keep from tripping.
This documentary explains how DJ Erick Rincón and the Tribal music scene in Mexico City played a part in popularizing botas picudas, (which can be seen even in the United States – especially in Texas.)
People who wear these boots are sometimes called "nacos" and "chuntaros" – but they're not ashamed and you have to admire that.

The coffee table is an often overlooked piece of furniture, but the right coffee table can make or break a living room. But what makes a coffee table a coffee table? And what modern styles are out there? We here at Padstyle are here to answer all of your coffee table-related questions.
Possibly the most defining feature of a coffee table is its long, low shape. It normally has shorter legs than a side table or a bistro table, and it is usually oval or rectangle as opposed to circular or square in shape. This is so that it can be placed in front of a sofa and compliment its long form and be at just the right height for easy access to anything on its surface.
However, not all coffee tables are created equal. These basic features don't come close to describing a truly modern coffee table. Some are tall; some are short; some are wide, some are thin; some are made of wood, some are made of glass, and all of them can complement their surroundings if placed appropriately.
You can have a coffee table that matches a handful of side tables, or you can create an eclectic look using a variety of shapes and styles. The coffee table you choose can be made of glass, wood, chrome, plastic or any material of your choosing, as long as it is sturdy and stable.
A coffee table is an integral part of a living room because it centres all the other furniture. Your sofa set will pop if you incorporate the right coffee table – but it could fizzle if you choose the wrong one. Coffee tables are also used as a gathering place, so you'll likely want yours to be warm and inviting.
Consider size, placement, texture and material when picking out your coffee table – you'll thank yourself later.

With modern technology, preparing a scrumptious beef dinner is sometimes as easy as a simple search on an internet search engine, but so often recipes found on the Web are substandard as they are frequently unchecked or have mistakes in them.
In this report, we are going to teach you how to prepare a tried and tested recipe that has been served many times in our own home, 'Crescent Pie made with Beef & Cheese'. Moreover, we would like to prove to you that you do not have to visit a high priced restaurant to stimulate your taste buds.

Beef is amongst the country's most loved meats, and long may it continue.

To save you searching, here is one beef recipe that we are very fond of, and that your whole family are sure to relish.
Crescent Pie Recipe of Beef & Cheese
You will need
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
600 grams of ground beef

1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 slightly beaten egg
1/3 cup of green pepper (chopped)
1 cup of green beans (drained)
1/3 cup onion (chopped)
Set the oven at 190 degree C.
Cook the beef until brown in a large frying pan with green pepper and onion, and then drain.
Include beans, tomato sauce, salt and garlic salt, and then mix. Allow to simmer as the crust is prepared.
Cut crescent dough to eight triangular shapes.
Put the triangles in a 9-inch ungreased pie pan, and then form crust by pressing over the bottom and up sides.
Add and spread the slightly beaten egg and 1 cup of cheese on the crust.
Using a spoon, insert the hot mixture of meat into the crust.
Use the rest of cheese and paprika to sprinkle over.
Place in the preheated oven until golden brown for 20 to 25 minutes.

For Valentine's Day, a rose that casts a spell
I'm here to tell you: Nobody can resist a rose. But if you want to give a Valentine's Day present that says you'll be around a while? Sure, give one longstem, just in a nod to tradition. But add a giftcard to a local nursery that carries Plant Select plants. Because then you get to tell your significant other about this stunner.
Yeah. That's "Ruby Voodoo." In addition to just being fun to say (props to the name-pickers!) this rose is a new, 2012 selection for Plant Select. That means it's one of six plants that the consortium of Colorado State University and Denver Botanic Garden experts have tested in Colorado conditions for years.
Plant Select exec director Pat Hayward gave me the chance to sniff-test this rose last week at ProGreen Expo, the industry conference that preceeds the Colorado Home & Garden Show, which kicks off today (Saturday Feb. 11). It was sitting in a howling gale off the loading dock of the Colorado Convention Center. It wasn't shivering, it wasn't wilting. The blooms had been forced in a greenhouse in February, so my own iPhone photo of it doesn't really do it justice. And yes, it IS fragrant. I definitely salivated. In warm weather, it might have that knee-weakening punch to the limbic system that any fan of roses hankers for. Gets about 5-6 feet tall and is called a "moderate repeat bloomer." Plant Select's website has another photo of the whole plant.
I have mostly Plant Select Plants on my hell corner, a.k.a. my "Proof of Life" garden. "Sunset" hyssop. Purple poppy mallow. They've done well in really horrid soil, with only occasional pampering. "Wild Thing" salvia got6 winter killed there, but that's to be expected from a Zone 6 plant. It was still a stunner the year I had it, and drew hawk moths in droves, buzzing around it like crazy at dusk.
There are other 2012 PS plants: a killer bicolored ice plant; two tough, floriferous daisies, one white and one yellow; a weeping white spruce whose graceful, downturned branches will shed snow loads like the one we just got two weeks ago; and a lovely little blue forget-me-not.
And there's a rose that casts a spell.

WHO meeting on H5N1 studies to have narrow focus
A meeting planned by the World Health Organization (WHO) next week to discuss two controversial studies on transmissible H5N1 avian influenza viruses will focus narrowly on whether the studies should be published at all and, if so, in full or abridged form, the Canadian Press (CP) reported yesterday. In the studies, Dutch and American teams generated a mutant H5N1 virus and an H5N1-H1N1 reassortant that spread as easily as seasonal flu in ferrets. The US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity has recommended that the two journals involved, Science and Nature, withhold the details of the studies out of concern that the data could be exploited by hostile parties. The WHO meeting is unlikely to address the broad question of how to regulate potentially dangerous biological research in the future or—assuming the two studies are not published in full—even how to share the details with those who need to know, WHO officials told the CP. They said they have invited only 22 outside participants to the meeting, scheduled for Feb 16 and 17 in Geneva. The invitees include representatives of the Vietnamese and Indonesian labs that provided the viruses used in the research. The WHO has said it intends to organize a second meeting later with more participants and broader goals.
Meanwhile, the editors of The Lancet Infectious Diseases called for publishing the full details of the two studies and devising a system to screen future "dual-use" studies before they are carried out. "Now so much is already known by so many, surely the best way to limit the potential harm is to make the full details and the full risks known to as many as possible so that work to address threats can begin," the editorial said. "Moving forward, the international research community and funding organisations must consider how to regulate research with potential for dual use so that the ramifications are considered and addressed long before it is begun; and certainly well before, so to speak, the ferret is out of the bag."

European study confirms that kids bore brunt of 2009 pandemic
As measured by medical visits for respiratory illness, the 2009 flu pandemic in Europe was no worse than a seasonal flu epidemic overall, but children bore a disproportionate share of the burden, according to a study in BMC Infectious Diseases. Researchers from the Netherlands and the WHO's European regional office compared the fall wave of the pandemic with the six preceding flu seasons, focusing on the timing of peak activity, geographic spread, and community impact. They measured the impact by examining the total and age-specific rates of consultations for influenza-like illness (ILI) and acute respiratory illness (ARI). The total ILI and ARI rates were no higher than historical rates in 19 of the 28 countries included, they found. However, the consultation rates for 0- to 4-year-olds and/or 5- to 14-year-olds were higher during the pandemic in 11 of 20 countries that had data. The researchers also determined that the pandemic peaked 10.5 weeks earlier than the seasonal flu epidemics and that it spread from west to east in Western Europe.

WHO advisors reassured by pandemic vaccine safety reports
The WHO's vaccine safety advisors reviewed data on the 2009 H1N1 pandemic vaccine at their meeting in December and found that its overall safety record is reassuring, according to a report today in the WHO Weekly Epidemiological Record. The group noted no new safety signals, other than a previously reported link between the adjuvanted vaccine and narcolepsy in children in Finland and Sweden. They noted that more epidemiologic studies in Europe and Canada are under way to further explore a possible link, and other research groups are searching for a biological mechanism for the link. Preliminary data from the United States has shown a slightly increased risk of Guillain-Barre syndrome in people who received the 2009 H1N1 vaccine, a finding that has not been reported in other countries. The group noted that if confirmed, the link would be at low levels typical for seasonal flu vaccine. The advisors also reviewed reports of possible links between the vaccine and certain autoimmune and clinical syndromes and found no major safety concerns, though they said the sample size or methodology may not have been adequate for identifying a link. US and Canadian studies of the pandemic vaccine in pregnant women are reassuring, and additional studies in more countries are being completed, the report said. The advisors also reviewed the most recent data on rotavirus vaccines and concluded that the two vaccines on the market, Rotarix and RotaTeq, may be associated with a sixfold increased risk of intussusception after the first dose in some populations, which is substantially less than the risk seen with a previous rotavirus vaccine. They concluded that the benefits greatly exceed the risks and that active intussusception surveillance in African and Asian countries that plan to introduce the vaccine would be useful for future risk-benefit analysis.

Norway to compensate children for narcolepsy tied to pandemic flu shots
A government board in Norway has upheld damage claims for three children who have narcolepsy that was probably triggered by the Pandemrix vaccine, used for pandemic 2009 influenza, according to The Foreigner, an English-language service that provides news of Norway. Another 20 claims of narcolepsy in children possibly related to the vaccine are awaiting processing by the government panel, the story said. About 598,000 Norwegian children and youth from 6 months to 19 years old received Pandemrix during the 2009-10 pandemic vaccination campaign, according to the report. Rolf Gunnar, assistant director of the government board, said compensation will depend on the severity and duration of the children's illness and how much it affects their everyday lives. Pandemrix-related narcolepsy cases in children have also been reported in Sweden and Finland, and compensation programs in both countries were announced last fall.

Japanese parents worried about oral polio vaccine
Nearly a third of surveyed parents of young children in Japan want inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) for their children, says a letter in tomorrow's The Lancet from five physicians at Seisa University, Yokohama, and the University of Tokyo. The authors surveyed 260 parents of day care and nursery school children in Kanagawa prefecture. Oral polio vaccine (OPV) was considered dangerous by 50 (19%) respondents, and 81 (31%) wanted IPV for their youngsters. A growing fear of OPV because of the potential for vaccine-associated disease is resulting in decreased inoculation rates in children, point out the authors. The country's health ministry reported a 17.5% drop in OPV coverage from April through June 2011 compared with a year earlier, and some pediatricians are importing IPV for children whose parents can pay the price. The Japan Pediatrics Society recommends OPV until domestically produced IPV becomes available, which is expected no sooner than the end of this year, according to the letter. The authors say that although Japan has been actively involved in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, "The lack of consistency between its domestic and global health policies is harming its own people."

First ingredient is a named meat source.
Uses brewers rice, beet pulp and corn.
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat source. Unfortunately, the next ingredient is brewers rice which is a low quality grain and by-product. The third ingredient is corn. That is a low quality grain that is difficult for dogs to digest and commonly causes allergy problems.
Chicken fat is the fourth ingredient. Whilst this food is not aimed at large breed dogs, it is worth noting that research at Purdue University has identified a fat in the top four ingredients of a dry dog food as a factor that increases the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested.
Beet pulp is another controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food especially so high on the ingredient list. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs, and note the inclusion of yeast extract. This is certainly not a food we would recommend be fed to any animal that suffered allergies or yeast infections.

Notes from a more integrated America: The 2010 Census shows that segregation is clearly on the declineMonday, January 30th, 2012
A great piece from Sam Roberts at the New York Times today about how segregation is on the decline in America. Here's a highlight:
The study of census results from thousands of neighborhoods by two economics professors who are fellows at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative research organization, found that the nation's cities are more racially integrated than at any time since 1910; that all-white enclaves "are effectively extinct"; and that while black urban ghettos still exist, they are shriveling.
An influx of immigrants and the gentrification of black neighborhoods contributed to the change, the study said, but suburbanization by blacks was even more instrumental.
The progress was less pronounced between blacks and non-Hispanic whites, though, than it has been between blacks and nonblacks, including Asians and Hispanic people.

Since I Guess the Word is Out Anyway
How I imagined leaving my guild:
Me: OMG I'M SO MAD QQ I'M LEAVING I'M PISSED OFF I HATE EVERYONE!!!!OMG I'M SO MAD QQ I'M LEAVING I'M PISSED OFF I HATE EVERYONE!!!!OMG I'M SO MAD QQ I'M LEAVING I'M PISSED OFF I HATE EVERYONE!!!!OMG I'M SO MAD QQ I'M LEAVING I'M PISSED OFF I HATE EVERYONE!!!!OMG I'M SO MAD QQ I'M LEAVING I'M PISSED OFF I HATE EVERYONE!!!!OMG I'M SO MAD QQ I'M LEAVING I'M PISSED OFF I HATE EVERYONE!!!!OMG I'M SO MAD QQ I'M LEAVING I'M PISSED OFF I HATE EVERYONE!!!!OMG I'M SO MAD QQ I'M LEAVING I'M PISSED OFF I HATE EVERYONE!!!!
GM: *files restraining order*
How it actually happened:
Me: Hey, I'm gquitting.
GM: Ok.
How I imagined the aftermath:
Me: I'm relieved! No wait, I'm sad! Did I make the right decision? I'm scared! Does everyone hate me? Am I ever going to find another guild? Oh noes! I'm still really mad! I don't know what to do!
Everyone else: STFU and get lost, we hate you.
What the aftermath was really like:
Me: I sure feel like playing Civ V right now.
Everyone else: Hey, if you need some referrals, I have some friends in guilds that are looking for a healer.
Me: Cool, thanks.
It was quite possibly the smoothest gquit in the history of gquits. I mean, other than back 5 years ago when I played once every two weeks and frequently found myelf invited to random guilds that died by the next time I logged in. Dead guild gquits usually go over pretty well.
I'd been toying with the idea for awhile, as I went about my day making grocery lists of things I was unsatisfied with and incidents I couldn't get over. The harder I tried to make it better, the worse it got. Then one night, as I groggily and nauseously waiting for my 10:30 pm raid invite that, as usual, was late going out, it suddenly dawned on me: "Why the hell am I doing this to myself?"
Technically I'm still on standby until Monday, but they're pretty full on healers and they're kind of uneasy about calling me in the middle of the night to raid, so I'm not expecting to be dragged out of bed.
It is…very….um…well it just is. I was really happy in Conquest for a really long time, but I was very angry over a few incidents for about a month. I think the bitter taste in my mouth helped me accept that, in life, people come and go. I don't even miss the good times. I'm glad that I had them. Some of my favorite nights have been on Vent/Mumble, sipping on wine and laughing with guildies. But something in me changed. Even when I see my ex-guildies mentioning drunken Mumble nights on Twitter, I'm not sad or envious. I know that now, if I were there, with them, I wouldn't be having any fun.
I have hard feelings over some stuff that happened. Mostly in the mornings. That's just how I am, I've had a chronic case of pissed-off-in-the-mornings-itis since birth. But I'm also grateful. My guildies promptly recommended me to different guilds, and recommended their friends' guilds to me. My buddy Equis (WHO NEEDS TO UPDATE HIS BLOG), especially, has been great in proving me to me that I don't need to be logged to WoW every hour of the night to be in touch with friends I met in WoW. In spite of all the frustrations lately, I still feel like I left on a high note.
But mostly I'm just thrilled to have time to myself. It's such a weird feeling. I have time for me. For me. Me.
Like, I can come home, and do anything I want.
Since I've always been a student, my schedule has always consisted of: schoolwork until 9:30pm, then raid (before raiding it was TV or bed), 7 days a week. Now I play other games (Civ V is trying to kill me!), I cook, I read. I even went to the movies. WITH A BOY. A cute one. I'm moving at the end of the semester so nothing is going to come of it, but it's still nice to feel like a human being for a short moment in time.Explore posts in the same categories: Guild thoughts

I'm so glad it's all worked out for you and that it's ended up giving you some time for yourself!
'Me' time is important, so certainly glad yer getting some at last!
January 31, 2011 at 12:32 am
I'm glad your guild break went smoothly and you're getting a chance to enjoy some things non-WoW related to boot!
January 31, 2011 at 12:46 am
I called it back here:
January 31, 2011 at 1:33 pm
I thought the same thing. Having been in a situation where I felt married to my guild before the line gave me a bit of a chill. I'm not sure I want a guild to be a lifelong commitment.
Then the ensuing officer drama you posted about made me feel like someone desperately trying to hold onto a relationship they know is already over. It's better to just get out and get it over with.
Why are guild relationships so comparable to romances? XD
January 31, 2011 at 1:45 am
Yeah, having time for you is pretty awesome. Raiding right now is pretty light schedule-wise for me, and that's the only way I will do it. I raid twice a week, and any more than that would be way too much. Being able to relax after work instead of just prepparing for raid = win.
January 31, 2011 at 3:11 am
Sounds like it ended in the best possible way. I'm glad you're getting some time to focus on yourself and some non-WoW stuff. Enjoy it! The game will always be here when you want to come back. 🙂
January 31, 2011 at 4:37 am
Glad you're able to do what you wanted to do, there's a time for everyone to quit the game.
The last time I tried quitting, I got home from work, then said, "now what?"… then immediately went back on WoW.
It's amazing how addicting this game is, even if you're just on to socialize.
January 31, 2011 at 4:43 am
I Have not gquit myself, not sure i need to. What did happen though was my status in the guild changed. From Core Raider ( /best paladin healer ever also known as that one guy you could never do without….. hahaha in my mind) was changed to Social…… was werid to see it there "social" but it was the truth my game play my game time has changed. The wrath me would have freaked. Waiting late for raids,not spending anywhere the time i should with my GF how she put up with it i have no idea. Me post shattering is dam fine with it. Change is good and im stoked that your gquit was smooth and painless. Hope you have endless fun with YOU time. Holiday in NZ maybe? while its still warm? hahaha
January 31, 2011 at 5:01 am
It sounds as if you did exactly the right thing.
Movies+cute boy > WoW.
I think you'll be just fine. Hugs!
January 31, 2011 at 6:00 am
I know that heady feeling when you get off the grinding wheel and just smell the roses. When I stopped raiding, my apartment suddenly got much cleaner, my meals got cooked, and I even get to go out occasionally.
The only thing I do nowadays is raid AH, which is an /afk activity. Suits me fine.
And – a boy! Wohoo! 😀
January 31, 2011 at 6:06 am
It's a very, very hard thing to do, especially to strike off into the unknown.
However it most certainly sounds like it is something you were right to do and you've made the right decision which will allow you to find some quiet time to do what you want.
Best of luck, and it's guaranteed you'll find somewhere new to call home soon I'm sure 🙂
January 31, 2011 at 6:23 am
Wows a funny thing. You meet a lot of people, some you like. You play a grindy game, some of it you like. Sometimes it is hard to keep that balance in perspective. Sometimes the people and things you don't like take over. I've been thinking about taking time off from the game but I'm a sucker for the people I meet. I only knew you for two months and I have creepily stalked Ur blog since :S.
January 31, 2011 at 9:43 am
I think when something that is a hobby stops being fun, you should re-evaluate and make a change. I understand it can be scary to let go of something like a guild (especially if you don't know exactly how it's going to happen or what will happen next) so I'm glad things went well for you.
I once read some advice (totally unrelated to WoW, more like a general life thing): if you are dissatisfied with a situation (applies to anything from being in a guild, to being cold while waiting at a bus stop) you have three options 1. Extract yourself from the situation. 2. Change the situation. 3. Accept the situation completely. It's something I try to remind myself of when I am faced with a difficult situation or decision and it really helps.
January 31, 2011 at 11:53 am
Raiding is the most fun thing in WoW for me, but 7 days a week? No wonder you are burning out. We raid at most 3 nights a week, and that leaves me plenty of time for RL goodies, like movies and boys!
January 31, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Man – I remember when I had to take a step back from Raid Leading two groups 4 nights a week on my main and my alt. It was such a liberating feeling to log in and play when I want, as I want, just PuGing or running with friends.
Good luck! Sounds like a good time for a break. 🙂
January 31, 2011 at 4:41 pm
I'm sure I'm not the only one saying this, but I'm certain that you'll find a new guild that fits you. There are too many great people and guilds out there to stay in a situation that makes you unhappy, especially when it interferes with your real life.
The doors to Shadowgarde are open, Ophelie. You are welcome anytime. 🙂
January 31, 2011 at 5:18 pm
For the love of god sleep with that poor boy at least
January 31, 2011 at 7:47 pm
Oh wow. I get it entirely. But I honestly didn't understand how on EARTH you STARTED raiding at 1030pm! I couldn't do that – MS says no 😦
Find a guild that suits your lifestyle!! Fun > bosskilling imo. Fun includes RL 😉
Which reminds me, I have a blog post to write.
January 31, 2011 at 10:49 pm
Seems like we're all in the same position these days. Good luck to you!
February 2, 2011 at 12:49 pm
I thank you for your inspiration and your welcoming attitude the whole time I was in guild with you. Even in leaving you still were there as a team player, willing to be standby until the last raid. I wish you well on your endeavors outside of WoW and have a feeling that you'll either continue here or still make some appearances in game.
February 3, 2011 at 11:07 am
Really happy for you that you have a bit more time to yourself! Looking at your schedule the other day sounded like you need it a bit. Hope everything goes well for you 🙂

President Barack Obama says about 100 U.S. military personnel have been deployed to the African nation of Niger (nee-ZHEHR').
In a letter to Congress, Obama says the forces will focus on "intelligence sharing" with French troops fighting Islamist militants in neighboring Mali. He says the American forces have been deployed with weapons, quote, "for the purpose of providing their own force protection and security."
The U.S. and Niger signed agreement last month spelling out legal protections and obligations of Americans who might operate from the African nation. But U.S. officials declined at the time to discuss specific plans for a military presence in Niger.
The Pentagon is also considering plans to base unarmed spy drones in Niger to boost its ability to see what is happening in the region.

Driving involves a group of hunters, some acting as "drivers" and others as "posters."
- Drivers spread out across a field or woods and push game out of cover.
- Posters take positions at the end of the cover to intercept game pushed out by the drivers.
The success of a drive depends on good organization and being familiar with the terrain.
It is critical that everyone involved in the drive is aware of the position of other drivers and posters. Wear fluorescent orange, and never shoot in the direction of another hunter.

High in Switzerland's AppenzellBy Rick Steves
I'm high in the Swiss Alps in a tiny mountain hut perched just under the high plateau called Ebenalp. Here, a spry grandpa in a sweater as worn as his face pulls a wide-eyed child onto his lap to teach him to drum with old wooden spoons, as the old-timer next to him pumps on his squeezebox. Tall, sloppy mugs of beer stoke the commotion. I'm immersed in the conviviality, but eventually climb upstairs to my lofty bunk.
Hours later, unable to sleep, I poke my head out of the tiny window and look wearily down on the raging party. Finally, the gang packs up their rucksacks and hikes out, disappearing over the ledge and into the moonlit forest. When their singing voices finally fade, it's quiet and I sleep, marveling at how the Swiss make mountains fun.
I'm in Appenzell, a region with none of the famous mountains but the best cow culture. Appenzell is Switzerland's most traditional region — and long the butt of jokes because of it. They say you should set your watch back 10 years when you cross the cantonal border. Entire villages meet in town squares to vote. Until 1990, the women of Appenzell couldn't vote on local issues. But lately the region has become more progressive. Locals brag that in 2000 its schools were the first in Switzerland to make English — rather than French — mandatory.
A gentle beauty blankets this region of green, rolling hills, watched over by the 8,200-foot Mount Säntis. Visitors enjoy an ever-changing parade of finely carved chalets, traditional villages, and cows moaning, "Milk me." While farmers' daughters make hay, old ladies with scythes walk the steep roads, looking as if they just pushed the Grim Reaper down the hill. When locals are asked about Appenzell cheese, they clench their fists as they answer, "It's the best." (It is, without a doubt, the smelliest.)
If you're here in late August or September, there's a chance you'll get in on (or at least have your road blocked by) the ceremonial procession of flower-bedecked cows and whistling herders in formal, traditional costumes. The festive march down from the high pastures is a spontaneous move by the herding families, and when they finally do burst into town (a slow-motion Swiss Pamplona), locals young and old become children again, running joyously into the streets.
In Appenzell's towns kids play "barn" instead of "house," while Mom and Dad watch yodeling on TV. The dairy heritage is a point of local pride. Folk museums feature old-fashioned cheese-making demonstrations, peasant houses, fascinating embroidering machinery, cow art, and folk-craft demonstrations.
Appenzell's highlight is a quaint and rustic old hut built into a cliff at about 5,000 feet, just below a peak called Ebenalp. By chance it's more accessible than it should be — just a short hike down from the top of the Wasserauen cable car (five miles south of Appenzell town).
From the summit where the lift leaves, you savor the 360-degree Alpine view and then head downhill. The trail leads through a prehistoric cave (slippery and dimly lit — hold the railing, and you'll soon return to daylight) and the 400-year-old Wildkirchli cave church (hermit monks lived and worshipped here from 1658 to 1853), to Berggasthaus Aescher, a guesthouse built precariously into the cliff. Originally a hut housing farmers, goats, and cows, in the mid-1800s Berggasthaus Aescher evolved into a guesthouse for pilgrims coming to the monks for spiritual guidance. Today, the hermit monks are long gone and it welcomes tourists communing with nature, offering hot, hearty plates of Rösti — Switzerland's addictive hash browns.
From Ebenalp's sunny cliff-side perch, you can almost hear the cows munching on the far side of the valley. In the distance, nestled below Säntis' peak, is the isolated Seealpsee lake. Only the paragliders, like neon jellyfish, tag your world as 21st century.
Berggasthaus Aescher has only rainwater and no shower. Weekends often come with live music and rowdy parties going into the wee hours. The hut is literally built into the cliff; its back wall is the rock itself. From the toilet, you can study alpine geology and architecture. Sip your coffee on the deck, sheltered from drips by the gnarly overhang 100 feet above. The guestbook goes back to 1940, there's a fun drawer filled with an alpine percussion section, and the piano in the comfortable dining/living room was brought in by helicopter.
Those hermit monks may be long gone, but I can't think of a better place to commune with nature while immersed in traditional Swiss alpine culture than in a mountain hut high in Appenzell.

The 10 Greatest Fights of WEC
In the Beginning
Olaf Alfonso (falling) vs. John Polakowski | Jeff Sherwood/Sherdog.com
With the final show now officially in the books, it's only fitting that we take a look back at some of the matches that made World Extreme Cagefighting one of the pound-for-pound most exciting MMA organizations of all time. Below, in chronological order, are the top 10 bouts from WEC.
Olaf Alfonso vs. John Polakowski 1
WEC 9, "Cold Blooded," Jan. 16, 2004 -- Lemoore, Calif.
A pivotal match in the evolution of WEC, the ultra-violent opening chapter of the Polakowski-Alfonso trilogy gave fans reason to take note of the fledgling indy promotion during its first broadcast on HDNet. Polakowski may ultimately be remembered as the guy who hugged everyone on "The Ultimate Fighter 8," and Alfonso as a man who was on the receiving end of some brutal knockouts, but for 15 minutes on that January night, the pair waged an unforgettable war. After accepting the match on just a few hours' notice, the kickboxer Polakowski -- who competed in his muay Thai shorts -- almost ended the fight just seconds in, when he floored Alfonso with a hard right hand. Not only did Alfonso recover from the brink of consciousness, but after the countless knees and punches were all thrown, heel hooks were escaped from, the blood spattered and noses broken, Olaf had earned a split decision, prompting another pair of fights between the men over the next two years.
Hermes Franca vs. Nate Diaz
WEC 24, "Full Force," Oct. 12, 2006 -- Lemoore, Calif.
The main event of the last WEC card before the promotion's purchase by Zuffa very nearly didn't happen. Lightweight champion Franca arrived under the impression that his title defense would be three five-minute rounds, while the challenger Diaz had been told it was a five-round affair. Only a last-minute meeting with big brother Nick Diaz and a clandestine $12,000 paycheck got Nate to agree to a three-rounder -- though, in the end, it wouldn't matter. The 21-year-old kid from Stockton got after the champion early, peppering with punches and drilling knees to the body of the purple-haired Brazilian as Diaz bullied the smaller Franca into the fence. After losing the first round decisively, Franca turned the tide by stuffing a Diaz guard-pull in the second and teeing off with punches from the top. Diaz survived to later drop Franca with a knee, but the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt latched on to Diaz's left arm from his back and finished off his challenger with a lightning-quick armbar.
File Photo
Torres (above) was amazing at WEC 34.
Miguel Torres vs. Yoshiro Maeda
WEC 34, "Faber vs. Pulver," June 1, 2008 -- Sacramento, Calif.
Torres and Maeda's blazingly-paced bantamweight title bout has become a touchstone for the burgeoning 135-pound division. The WEC champ and King of Pancrase went all-out from the jump, banging away with punches on the feet and engaging in a heated leglock battle on the floor. Torres would retain his belt after his stinging jabs accumulated to fracture Maeda's right orbital bone, forcing referee Herb Dean to wave off the scheduled five-rounder after three incredible frames.
Carlos Condit vs. Hiromitsu Miura
WEC 35, Aug. 3, 2008 -- Las Vegas, Nev.
Condit and Miura sent the 170-pound class off in style with what would prove to be the final WEC welterweight title bout before the division was folded into the UFC. After a first round which featured crisp strikes, quick scrambles and an impressive Miura throw, the champion Condit slowly began to take over. Miura, however, was not to be put away easily, as he fought gamely through armbar attempts and escaped full mount in the third. Although he stormed back and dropped Condit early in the next frame, Miura succumbed to punches from the "Natural Born Killer" with less than 20 seconds to go in the fourth round.
Donald Cerrone vs. Rob McCullough
WEC 36, "Faber vs. Brown," Nov. 5, 2008, -- Hollywood, Fla.
For more than a month after it took place, the MMA world clamored to see Cerrone and McCullough's action-packed WEC 36 undercard bout. Why? WEC had been forced to omit the "Fight of the Night" from the live Versus broadcast, instead showing a Jake Rosholt-Nissen Osterneck middleweight match due to a clause in Rosholt's contract which guaranteed his fights would be televised. When Cerrone-McCullough aired on Dec. 28, as part of a "Best of 2008" special, all were treated to a late Christmas gift. The two accomplished muay Thai converts stood toe-to-toe and simply walloped one another for the majority of the fight, including a wild first stanza which Sherdog.com named 2008's "Round of the Year." When the match did hit the ground, McCullough impressively withstood back-mount and a mean-looking armbar attempt from Cerrone, who took a well-earned unanimous decision.

Generally photography is provided of the small area size (eg 230x160cm) rug/runner (e.g 80x300cm). Please keep this in mind as purchasing a larger size rug, may accentuate a rug's pattern. For example, four rows of patterns instead of two or three. Returning a rug due to an accentuated pattern is classified as change of mind return.

On May 1st a major water main supplying water to parts of the Boston area broke, leaving some 2 million people there without safe and clean water for drinking, cooking, washing, and so forth.
On the exact same day a major series of devastating 1,000-year floods swept through parts of Tennessee, which left many residents there in a comparably precarious water-scarce situation as those in the Boston area. People in both places were forced to rely on bottled water and/or boiled water just to avoid various water-borne diseases and illnesses.
Here at Filters Fast we have a solution to these recent water woes and also for those to come in the future – we recommend that you purchase the Katadyn Ceradyn emergency water filter system explained in depth below in order to provide purified and uncontaminated water for yourself as well as your family, friends, and/or neighbors whenever the next water emergency occurs in your area.
The Katadyn Ceradyn Drip Water Filter System pictured above is a high performance emergency water filter system that can provide about 1 gallon per hour of safe filtered water which will allow you and your family to make it through the next 'Aquapocalypse' or other similar water emergency.
The Katadyn Ceradyn Drip Water Filter System is a free standing gravity water filter with utilizes three very advanced Katadyn ceramic depth filters for maximum, high-level water filtration. The three Katadyn ceramic depth filter cartridges remove numerous contaminants and impurities from tainted water, including:
- bacteria
- parasites
- cysts
- algae
- protozoa
- sediment
- dirt
- rust
- mold spores
- certain viruses
- …and other disease causing agents down to the very fine 0.2 micron level.
The Ceradyn gravity drip filter system reduces or removes dirt, bacteria, pathogens, micro-organisms, some viruses, and parasites such as cryptosporidium and giardia that cause diseases such as cholera, dysentery, typhoid fever, and other potentially life-threatening illnesses.
The Ceradyn has a 2.6 gallon (10 liter) capacity for the filtration of larger quantities of water and is especially useful for groups of people: as the safe filtered water is used it can be filled again and again with unsafe water at the top of the unit which is then thoroughly filtered as it trickles down in to the base, thus allowing for a continuous flow of uncontaminated filtered water.
There is no need for pumping or connection to a tap with this Katadyn Ceradyn drip water filter because it uses gravitational filter action. It is ideal not just for water supply emergencies but also for camping, hunting, fishing, boats, cabins, cottages, campers, and so on. Using this Katadyn water filter you can also filter unsafe water from streams, brooks, rivers, ponds, springs, and lakes for drinking, cooking, washing, cleaning, and so on. The Katadyn ceramic filters provide filtered, fresh, and natural tasting water without the use of harsh chemicals.
The three top-notch Katadyn ceramic depth filters included with this Katadyn gravity drip water purifier have an extremely long-lasting filter life of approximately 13,000 gallons before they need to be replaced, and they can also be cleaned approximately 100 times before replacement. A measuring gauge is supplied with this Katadyn water filter in order to easily remind you when it is time to change the three filter cartridges.
Since this Katadyn gravity drip filter system has no moving parts, basic use and maintenance of this emergency water filter unit is simple. The following is a list of the technical specifications of the Katadyn Ceradyn Gravity Drip Filter System:
- Color: White
- Dimensions: 18″H x 11″W
- Micron Rating: 0.2 Micron
- Filter Body: BPA-Free Plastic
- Output: About 1 Gallon Per Hour
- Weight: 7.25 Pounds (unfilled)
- Unit Life: Approximately 40,000 Gallons
- Filter Life: Approximately 13,000 Gallons
- Filter Media: Katadyn Ceramic Depth Filters (3)
Katadyn emergency water filters are used by the U.S. military, various international militaries, and by relief agencies like the Red Cross which utilize Katadyn water filters in emergency situations when clean potable water is scarce or unavailable.
* NOTE – a slightly less expensive emergency water filter option is also available to purchase with the Katadyn Gravidyn Drip Water Filter System..

Tyler Flowers' unimpressive spring showing makes it more likely the White Sox will look to extend catcher A.J. Pierzynski's contract during the season.
AJ wants to stay:
"Obviously, everyone knows how I feel about the White Sox organization, the city of Chicago," Pierzynski said. "I'd love to stay here, but at the same time it takes two people to want that. If they don't want me back, I can't force their hand and say, 'Hey, I want to come back no matter what.'
"If they don't want me back, they don't want me back. Hopefully that's not the case. But we haven't really gotten into it, we haven't really talked about it, so we'll see what happens."
… "They know how I feel, so we'll see," Pierzynski said. "They've got other problems to worry about – (Paul) Konerko is a free agent at the end of the year, they have heavy salary lined up for next year. It's going to come down to money, and I'm sure it'll also depend on how Tyler does and how he develops." …

Governor Hickenlooper reveals he has a girlfriend
In addition to hearing the traditional "Merry Christmas" or "happy holidays," guests at Gov. John Hickenlooper's annual yuletide gathering got a bit of a surprise: he's got a girlfriend.
While Hickenlooper made no formal announcement at the Wednesday cocktail party held in the Governor's Mansion, several of the guests were quick to let The Denver Post know that the governor had introduced Robin Pringle to them as his girlfriend.
"As they say, good news travels fast," he responded to our request for confirmation. "Yes, I have been dating a young woman named Robin Pringle. We met more than a year ago, but only started dating some months ago, almost, as sometimes happens, by accident."
Hickenlooper and author Helen Thorpe, whom he married in 2002, have been separated since July, 2012. The parting was amicable; in their announcement they stated: "Please feel free to include both of us in social gatherings as we will not find it awkward."
Thorpe has been dating as well. She has been seen lately at events like the Museum of Contemporary Arts Luminocity Gala, where she held hands with Sascha Steinway.
Pringle is vice president/corporate development for Englewood-based Liberty Media. According to her profile on LinkedIn, she earned a bachelor of arts degree in public policy from Duke University in 2000 and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in 2008.
She is on the board of the Clyfford Still Museum, Sirius XM and the Colorado Innovation Network. The French-American Foundation of the United States included her in its 2013 class of young leaders.
The governor, 62, concluded in his email to the Post, "Robin and I now feel comfortable sharing the fact that we are dating, but like any couple that is embarking on a new relationship, we are asking that our privacy be respected.
"And yes, she is pretty great."
Hickenlooper was elected to a second term as Colorado governor in November. Inaugural activities Jan. 13 include a sold-out concert with the Lumineers and other bands at the Ogden Theatre, a dinner at the Fillmore Auditorium and a ceremony at the State Capitol.

Bina's a little girl with a big heart – literally. After a mysterious encounter, Bina's heart has popped out of her chest and transformed into a walking, punching monster. Now Bina and her heart are on the run from government agents.
Magnolia Porter (also of Bobwhite and Dracula Mystery Club), brings us this webcomic about superpowered body parts. Bina is a dinosaur-obsessed girl who's concerned that her teacher (who also happens to be her mother) hates her. But her problems take a turn for the bizarre when she encounters a glowing substance that causes her heart to burst from her chest and transform into a monstrous creature. Soon, both Bina and her heart (whom she names Ayo) are trapped in a government lab.
As it turns out, Bina's not the only one who's had a creature spawn from her body. She meets Julie, a hyperactive tomboy whose hair can fly, and a homeless boy who can see through his serpentine, disembodied eye. And then there's the shadowy agency that captures and studies these specimens – and sometimes creates them from their own employees.
Monster Pulse is an intriguing, all-ages mystery. Porter does a lovely job of balancing dynamic action sequences (especially fun are those involving the hair-monster Kera) with likeable character moments. In the meantime, we're left to wonder: just who is Rjinder, the creepy head of our mysterious government agency? And why does he keep his own monster body part in the dark?
