ALEXANDRIA, VA — All five champion floral designers participating in the Society of American Florists' (SAF's) VaseOff! All-Stars Challenge made flower enthusiasts, bloggers and florists ooh, aah and click, but when the contest wrapped, Bryan Swann of Karin's Florist in Vienna, Va., came out on top.
"A dear friend taught me one of the best life lessons, which is to live every day to the fullest. Embrace life," Swann said describing his winning floral arrangement, "Outta the Box." "As floral artists, we are able to convey that lesson through the beauty of flowers."
The contest attracted significant interest online. In fact, visitor traffic to aboutflowersblog.com, SAF's consumer blog, increased 389 percent during the two-week VaseOff! All-Stars Challenge and resulted in nearly 3.1 million social media impressions as people voted for the floral design that most inspires a friend to live life to the fullest, depicting the notion, "Live Colorfully – Dare to be Different."
"Our goal is to use social media to show consumers the artistry and expertise of professional florists," said Jennifer Sparks, SAF Vice President of Marketing. "Through this VaseOff! Challenge on our blog, as well as outreach via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and partnerships with influential bloggers, consumers easily saw and shared our message that professional florists create inspiring floral designs."
The five winning florists from previous VaseOff! contests participated in the All-Stars Challenge, the grand finale of SAF's online floral design competitions. SAF posted photos of the entries on aboutflowersblog.com, where consumers voted by clicking the Facebook "like" button next to their favorite entry, which automatically posted an update on their Facebook wall so their friends would see the floral message in their newsfeeds.
Among the comments posted about Outta the Box: "This arrangement sends a message of true taste and beauty. Class, consistency and creativity." Another comment reads: "WOW! Love the colors, choice of flowers, the design and execution, but the little detail of the finely woven 'ribbon' of grass really pushes this over the top for me!" And: "Absolutely gorgeous. I love the symmetry and flow of the arrangement and the colors."
Sparks said, "All of the entries showcased the theme 'Live Colorfully – Dare to be Different' and represent the artistry, expertise, quality and customization that you get from working with a professional florist."
SAF thanks the other winners of the past contests for participating in the VaseOff! All-Stars Challenge:
- Walter Fedyshyn, AIFD, PFCI, of Phillip's Flowers & Gifts in Chicago, and his entry Art Pop
- Rowena Johnson of Rochette's Florist in Farmville, Va., and her Color Your World
- Tony Medlock, AAF, AIFD, PFCI, of PJ 's Flowers & Events in Phoenix, and his Flowing River
- Coby Neal, AIFD, PFCI, of The Flower Studio in Austin, Texas, and his A Case for Life
Along with SAF and each of the VaseOff! contestants promoting the Challenge, so were several influential bloggers. SAF partnered with Stefanie Fauquet of Mommy Musings, Bethany Herwegh of The Glamorous Housewife, Kelly Stilwell of Virtually Yours, and Linda Vertlieb of Frugal Philly Mom.
"Their participation helped get our messages out to more consumers about the 'wow' factor professional florists provide," Sparks said. "And it introduced their thousands of followers to our social media channels."
The theme of the VaseOff Challenge, Live Colorfully – Dare to be Different, was derived from one of the features in SAF's new Live Like A Flower public relations program. Check out how SAF is promoting flowers to consumers through the Live Like A Flower series and members can access for tools and advice to capitalize on this program to promote their business.
VaseOff! is part of SAF's Consumer Marketing Program, which uses public relations and social media to promote positive messages about flowers, plants and florists. SAF marketing programs are possible thanks to the SAF PR Fund, made up of retail member dues and voluntary contributions by wholesalers, suppliers, importers and growers. Since its inception in 2001, PR Fund programs have generated more than 1.1 billion consumer impressions.

On Friday afternoon, February 20 and Saturday morning, February 21, we had an additional session to prepare ourselves for the WorldMUN conference. After an introductory presentation on Algeria from our faculty advisor, the delegates gave presentations on their respective committees. The committee's topics, structure and members were discussed and we were debating and advising on how to best approach the different issues from an Algerian perspective. Our visit to the Algerian Embassy in Berlin and to the Federal Foreign Office were very helpful to work out positions, that represent the Algerian agenda as close to reality as possible.
After having discussed our position papers and possible negotiation strategies, we moved into clarifying the final organizational aspects of our visit to Korea and planned our participation at the conference's social events. By now, we are all looking forward to the conference and to get to know all the other delegates and we can't wait to experience the city of Seoul and the Republic of Korea.

Several weeks ago, the Tucker Greenhouse pomegranate plant bloomed. It is now setting fruits. Two of them! I will periodically post new photos of these two developing pomegranates. If you'd like to see the plant, or even photograph it in person, it's located in the southern most greenhouse. I call this variety, 'Mr. Fenton'.
The picture below is a pomegranate flower in full bloom.
I grow Quinoa plants in the Tucker Greenhouse because they are a very cool example of a plant found in the Chenopodiaceae family, or Goosefoot family. Chenopodium quinoa, more commonly known as Quinoa, is grown for its edible seeds. It is closely related to other healthy edibles like spinach & beets. The picture below is a Quinoa plant in full bloom. If you'd like to see the Quinoa plants currently growing in the Tucker Greenhouse, they're located in the south greenhouse.
Quinoa, once used by the Aztecs, is becoming quite popular today. If you'd like to read more about this highly nutritious food, click here.
Almost daily, an undergraduate student drops by my office to see if I need any help, or if they can volunteer to learn the ins and outs of greenhouse work. I now have two, really nice, hard-working volunteers. Today I taught Fiorella San Martin how to plant seeds.
Tanner Leslie, pictured below is the other Tucker Greenhouse volunteer. Tanner is busy pruning plants in the very humid Tropical greenhouse.
Often the large trees inside of the Tucker Greenhouse need pruning. If they don't get pruned on a regular basis, their branches can press on the roof glass, and can actually break the panes of glass. That is a dangerous situation. I can prune most of the plants in the greenhouses by using pole pruners with telescoping poles, but when it comes to trees 30 feet up in the air, with large woody branches, I call in the MU Grounds crew special forces. Check out the pictures below of Mike and Kellen, MU's talented and friendly arborists.

meet our kbUN Sports Radio team
Joel Hoover
Lumberjack Radio Network Play-By-Play
Host of High Noon
Joel Hoover is the play-by-play announcer for Bemidji High School sports on the Lumberjack Radio Network, the host of High Noon on KBUN-FM 104.5, and the midday host on KZY FM 95.5. He has been with Paul Bunyan Broadcasting since July 2015.
Joel originally grew up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Pequea Valley High School in 2011 and enrolled at Messiah College in Mechanicsburg, PA later that year with a major in journalism and a minor in sport management. Joel's major focus of time in college was pursuing a career in play-by-play sportscasting.
In addition to hosting his own sports talk show on the campus radio station, Joel broadcasted for Messiah's men's and women's basketball, baseball, softball, and national champion men's and women's soccer teams. His experiences included traveling to Massachusetts and New Jersey (twice) for "March Madness" Division III tournament games and calling the action of several NCAA Division III soccer tournament games.
Following his graduation from Messiah in May 2015, Joel moved to Bemidji to take on the opportunity to become the "Voice of the Lumberjacks" and broadcast high school sports on the radio. He is continually impressed by the sense of community in both Bemidji and the entire North Country, and loves talking about a variety of sports stories from the entire listening area on High Noon. He also greatly enjoys "spinning tunes" every day on KZY and weekends on KB101.
In his spare time, Joel enjoys helping with the Compass young adult church ministry in Bemidji, as well as finding time to play and watch soccer—his favorite sport, and one he has played since age 5. He loves riding his bike or driving his car around the lake, boating and tubing with friends, as well as watching all kinds of different sports and broadcasters as a spectator and observer. He enjoys watching most of the Philly sports teams (Union, Phillies, Flyers, Sixers), Manchester United, and…the Green Bay Packers, who he has been a fan of since age 4.
Kev Jackson
KBUN SportsRadio Operations Manager
Host, Fishin' Paul Bunyan Country
Co-Host of High Noon
Kev was born in San Bernardino, CA. A future surfer dude was dashed with his dad decided to move back to Minnesota where the family settled into the tiny hamlet of Red Lake Falls. After high school, it became apparent that he had no future in the two things he loved: athletic competition and musical performance. Then as he listened to the hits on WLS (at night of course), KKKL in Grand Forks and KQWB in Fargo, he realized he could play music and talk sports for a living. So a passion for radio was born.
Kev attended Bemidji State University for four years, graduating in 1985 with a degree in Mass Communications. He then did some part time radio work before getting into his first full time job in Roseau at KRWB, where he did sports, news, on-air "deejaying" and even sales.
While at Roseau, he met the love of his life, Nicole, and brainwashed her into marrying him. Shortly after that, Kev got the opportunity to move back to Bemidji and become the play-by-play voice of the Lumberjacks. He's been back since 1987.
After a dozen year of following many Lumberjack teams to exotic locales all over our great state, Kev became (and still is) the Operations Manager and Morning Show Co-Host with the legendary Tom Lucas on 95.5 KZY when it signed on in 1999. He also roams the hallways and does sports updates on all of the Paul Bunyan Broadcasting stations. He continues to serve as Operations Manager of The Bun Sports Network and joins Joel Hoover on "High Noon" weekdays.
Kev and Nicole have three children (Jake, Kaila & Mollie), a daughter-in-law (Ashley) and one grandson (Sebastian).
Scott Williams
Lumberjack Radio Network Play-By-Play
Contributer, High Noon
I started my broadcasting career at Bemidji State University. At first it was a few play-by-play baseball games after my playing career had ended. During my junior year at college I became the Sports Director at the campus radio station KBSB FM90. It was at this time I started working at Paul Bunyan Broadcasting. I started out as a Sports Engineer, working the board for the Twins, Vikings, Monday Night Football, etc. I think I pestered Kev Jackson long enough that he finally allowed me to broadcast play-by-play for the local High School sports teams. After College I was hired as the DJ for Afternoon Drive on the new 95.5 KZY in June of 1999. Then, we learned that Paul Bunyan Broadcasting was acquiring KLLZ and in January of 2001, I moved to Midday's on Z99, and now the Morning Show with Jack and I love it!
I still cover Lumberjack Baseball on KBUN, and help out with Lumberjack's sports. Additionally, I've assisted with the news when possible. Although, since becoming Jack's side kick on the Z99 morning show, my news duties have decreased.
Another passion of mine is Bemidji State Athletics. I've had the privilege to be the play-by-play voice of KBSU Channel 17 coverage of Beaver Sports since 2001 and since Lakeland Public Television took over the hockey broadcasts in 2010.
I married a local girl in 2003 and Tracy and I love the Bemidji area. Sports has always been a big part of my life, instilled from childhood. My father had season tickets at Maple Leaf Gardens, that's as spoiled as any child from Canada could be. I played baseball for Bemidji State, and junior hockey in Canada and still play some Softball, Golf, and Hockey and enjoy canoing with my family.
TJ Melcher
Lumberjack Radio Network Play-By-Play
Contributer, High Noon
Information about TJ is coming soon!
Curtis Joe
Lumberjack Radio Network Play-By-Play
Studio Host
Curtis Joe is the Studio Host and Producer of Lumberjack Sports on the Lumberjack Radio Network, as well as one the BUN's play by play guys.
Curtis graduated from Wadena-Deer Creek High School, MN in 1997. After high school Curtis attended Northland Community & Technical College in Thief River Falls, MN and majored in Broadcasting. While attending NCTC, Curtis worked for the college radio station 90.1 FM. After completing his time at NTC, Curtis got a job at KMAV in Mayville, ND where he worked for 5 years doing announcing, working the board for games, play by play, and sales.
Curtis took a break from radio for the next ten years. During this time he worked in residential services taking care of people with varying disabilities.
In 2007, Curtis moved to Bemidji with his soon to be wife Jacqui. They got married in August 2008. Curtis has one daughter Samantha. He also has two pets, Mollie the dog and Snuggles the cat. After many years of listening to Curtis talk about his love for working in radio his wife and father in law grew tired of hearing him talk about it all the time. They both thought he would be a good fit in the radio scene and told him to go for it and get the word out that he wanted to get back into radio. Some friends from church connected Curtis to the legendary Kev Jackson and Curtis became a member of the KBUN team in November 2011.
Curtis is a sports fan through and through and supports his local sports teams, the Bemidji Lumberjacks, Bemidji State University Beavers, and the IFL team, the Bemidji Axemen. He also enjoys watching the Minnesota Vikings, Timberwolves, Twins, Wild, and Gophers. He attends games whenever possible and when he is not working the board at KBUN. When not at a game, you will usually find Curtis in front of the TV watching a game, listening to a game on the radio, or constantly checking his phone for sports updates. He does not like to miss anything going on in the sports world.
Tom Lucas
Lumberjack Radio Network Baseball Play-By-Play
Tom Lucas is a Chicago-area native and 30 plus year radio survivor, on KZY since 1999. He has degrees in English, Psychology and Speech Communications from St. Cloud State University, and took a respite from broadcasting to teach high school English and American history. He is currently the Head Coach of the Bemidji High School Speech Team, and holds a position on the Board of Bemidji's Paul Bunyan Playhouse. Tom says he is definitely a "morning person", as he tends to get cranky and contrary after work.
Tom's eclectic musical tastes run from Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen, to Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ray Charles, plus the great song writers He lists "Good Thing Going" by Sinatra among his favorite songs, "The Verdict" and "Casablanca" among his favorite movies, and "Lancelot Link" and "Me and the Chimp" starring the Great Ted Bessel, among his favorite TV shows.
Since Tom is a Viking and Cub fan, he believes all professional sports are "dumb" and "probably rigged."
Tom spends his summers fishing, landscaping, golfing poorly, and gardening moderately.

About PHAP
The Public Health Associate Program (PHAP) is designed to train early-career public health professionals who have a recent bachelor's or master's degree and an interest in public service and public health. Throughout the two-year training program, associates gain hands-on experience that will serve as a foundation for their public health careers. PHAP is managed by CDC's Center for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Support.
In 1948, CDC introduced the public health advisor (PHA) job series, which brought new public health workers to the front lines of population heath in state and local agencies across the country. PHAs shaped the delivery of essential public health services, and many of these positions grew into management roles in public health departments nationwide and within CDC.
PHAP was founded in 2007 as a pilot program to support CDC's frontline public health focus and to meet the need for a source of field-tested, experienced, and dedicated public health professionals. Currently, PHAP has more than 300 associates fulfilling hands-on workforce needs in public health agencies across 44 states, three US territories, and the District of Columbia.
Strengthening the Future of Public Health
PHAP is training the next generation of public health professionals. Watch former CDC PHAP supervisor, Heidi Pfeiffer, describe how she works with associates, encouraging them to become the future of public health. Pfeiffer believes that the eye-opening field experience and outstanding training associates receive helps strengthen the future of public health.
To give associates the experience needed to develop into public health professionals, PHAP offers a variety of public health program work assignments for the two-year training program. Associates receive a two-year assignment in one program area selected by the host site. Program areas focus on the nation's most pressing prevention and treatment priorities.
Host sites design their associates' work assignments to meet their organization's unique needs while also providing on-the-job experience and competency development to prepare associates for future careers in public health. Associate work assignments provide skill-building activities in analytics and assessment; public health science; program planning, management, and improvement; public health policy and law; professionalism; communication; cultural competency; community dimensions of public health; and financial planning and management.
Because of the skills and experience gained through PHAP, graduates are competitive candidates for public health positions at CDC, local and state health departments, and nongovernmental organizations. Associates leave the program with the foundation for a successful, long-term public health career.
PHAP is a dynamic and evolving workforce development program that trains associates in core public health concepts and topics to provide the knowledge necessary to succeed in their two-year host site assignment. PHAP hosts an initial orientation and two annual public health in-person trainings at CDC, as well as regular online and long-distance learning opportunities throughout the program. PHAP's training is designed with two primary goals in mind:
- Provide associates with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to fulfill the program's competencies Cdc-pdf[PDF-64KB] and increase the capacity of their host site
- Support the completion of performance-based learning outcomes on the job
Host sites orient their associates to their agency or organization and train associates in a range of public health competencies. This training fulfills government requirements while enhancing the associates' work performance.

The iconic Copa Mundial dances to the rhythm of Samba
In November 2013 adidas successfully kicked off its "All in or Nothing" 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ campaign by launching the Samba collection, an array of new and exciting colourways for each of its four boot ranges, adizero™ f50, predator®, nitrocharge™ and 11pro. Following the positive response by fans worldwide, adidas decided to ramp up the collection by merging it with the classic Copa Mundial.
adidas Samba Copa Mundial
First released in 1982, the Copa Mundial is the best-selling boot in football history and has been worn by some of the all-time greats including Franz Beckenbauer, Michel Platini, Zico & Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Since then it has been sold over 10 million pairs and was actually the last revolutionary product innovation created by sporting goods legend and founder of the adidas brand Adi Dassler.
adidas will release limited numbers for each colour and boot of the special Samba Copa Mundial. These new boots maintain the same qualities and feel of the traditional version but boast the high intensity colourways of the Samba collection.
Michael Meinhold, Product Manager, adidas Football said: "For the Samba Copa Mundial we wanted to honour the legendary status of the Copa Mundial but also give footballers worldwide the chance to add some extra colour and celebrate the World Cup in Brazil. The pack is colourful, energetic but fully respects the Copa´s iconic design and feel."
The Samba Copa Mundial is available from today (25th January) for purchase in selected adidas retail outlets, associated stockists and via www.adidas.com/football. Join the adidas football conversation at www.facebook.com/adidasfootball or on Twitter: @adidasfootball #allin or nothing.

This summer, ABC plans to air "The Glass House," a show where contestants live together in a house where viewers vote the players off one by one.
Sound familiar?
CBS believes "Glass House" is a near perfect reflection of their summer hit, "Big Brother," which will kickoff season 14 July 12.
The network filed a lawsuit Thursday claiming the show not only mirrors its series; however, ABC also hired 19 former "Big Brother" staffers to create the new show.
Among the 19, two top producers and an ABC programming director for "Glass House" worked on "Big Brother." CBS claims this violates prior non-disclosure agreements through giving away show secrets.
ABC denied any wrongdoing in a statement, calling the lawsuit meritless.

Investments to Fight Inflation
Charlie S
Mar 14, 2019
Rising inflation is a matter of concern for global economies. This article will suggest you some of the finest investments to fight inflation and secure your future financially.
In most countries, inflation is at a record high these days. There are many macro-economic factors and international issues which lead to a rise in inflation.
Though the developing and underdeveloped countries have been worst affected by inflation, the developed countries too need to take some effective measures to curb this problem. Inflation can really affect our financial planning decisions, and no one can really predict what will be the rate of inflation after many years.
So, while choosing investments to fight inflation, we should look for options that would conveniently beat the inflation rate. For this calculation, you should consider the rate of inflation to be much higher than the current rate. Here are some investments that can help you beat inflation.
Direct Stock Investments
Direct stock investments can be the investments to protect oneself against inflation because of their high returns. Returns from stocks can be very high if investments are planned in an organized manner. As an aggressive investor, you can concentrate on the mid-cap stocks for high returns in a small period of time.
Though stating how much returns they can generate exactly is difficult. But many investors are known to make fifty to seventy percent return in a year with the fast-moving mid-cap stocks. A diversified portfolio consisting of quality large-cap and mid-cap stocks is often suggested to beat inflation comfortably.
Commodities can be the investment to avoid inflation because their prices are very high when inflation is high, and hence one can get protection from this problem.
Since the demand for commodities is rising at a great pace, their prices will also rise fast as per the law of demand. So, commodity investors are bound to make huge gains in the times to come. This is also one of the investments to hedge inflation for those who are not knowledgeable about the capital markets.
Commercial and Residential Real Estate
Commercial and residential real estate can be the best investments due to rising demand for properties. The demand for homes and office spaces had declined considerably some two years ago because of the recession effects.
However, as the economy picks up, the sale of homes would rise and so will the prices of these properties. So, any person having sufficient money can get a decent appreciation in his property price in the years to come.
Mutual Funds
Though mutual funds are a great form of investment, remember that all mutual funds available in the market cannot be the right investments to fight inflation. You will have to observe the mutual fund ratings and then select an appropriate fund to get the maximum benefits.
Aggressive mutual funds investing in emerging sectors and stocks should be on your radar. Value funds are those which try to invest in stocks which are lesser known in the market, and these can be the ideal ones for you in today's market scenario, where the valuations of front line stocks are too expensive.
Gold investments are also very profitable in the long run. If you observe the price movement of gold over the past years, you will see a continuous uptrend. So, investors have benefited greatly by holding gold for a longer term. This can be a part of your long term investment portfolio to beat inflation.
The aforementioned investments are important to fulfill all your goals in life. High inflation can take a toll on a person's financial health, and before this happens, we need to have a well drafted plan to ensure good wealth creation. So, good luck and think over this point!

WASHINGTON/BOSTON (Reuters) - Sony Corp blamed Internet vigilante group Anonymous for indirectly allowing a hacker to gain access to personal data of more than 100 million video game users.
The accusation came in a letter to Congress and prompted renewed complaints that the Japanese electronics giant's disclosure had been inadequate and tardy.
The company said it waited two days after first discovering data was stolen from its PlayStation video game network before contacting law enforcement, and did not meet with FBI officials until five days later.
"Sony has been the victim of a very carefully planned, very professional, highly sophisticated criminal cyber attack," Kazuo Hirai, chairman of the board of Sony Computer Entertainment America, said in a letter to the U.S. Congress.
The theft prompted the U.S. Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation to open an investigation, officials said on Wednesday.
"It is something we are taking extremely seriously," said U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
He said the government is also probing the theft of reams of email addresses and names that Alliance Data Systems Corp's Epsilon marketing unit discovered last month.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has subpoenaed Sony entities over the breaches.
Schneiderman subpoenaed Sony for conversations and documents that related to its security systems and any representations about those systems made to consumers, said a source familiar with the issue. A Schneiderman spokesman declined comment.
Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter said Sony's public disclosures have not been sufficient to quell customer concerns about the theft.
He would like to see Sony notify each of the 12.3 million customers whose credit data may have been stolen.
"Sony needs to make a statement to consumers: 'You will not be harmed, and we will indemnify you against any harm,' And they just have not done that in any of their apologies."
Sony said that its video game network was breached at the same time it was defending itself against a major denial-of-service attack by a group calling itself Anonymous. A denial-of-service attacks makes a server or system unavailable by overwhelming its network with internet traffic.
Anonymous is the name of a grass-roots cyber group that in December launched attacks that temporarily shut down the sites of MasterCard Inc and Visa Inc using simple software tools available for free over the Internet.
The group attacked the two credit card companies with denial-of-service attacks that overwhelmed their servers for blocking payments to WikiLeaks.
Sony said on Wednesday that Anonymous targeted it several weeks ago using a denial-of-service attack in protest of Sony defending itself against a hacker in federal court in San Francisco.
The attack that stole the personal data of millions of Sony customers was launched separately, while the company was distracted protecting itself against the denial-of-service campaign, Sony said.
The company said it was not sure whether the organizers of the two attacks were working together.
Sony did say that its PC gaming unit, Sony Online Entertainment, discovered last Sunday a file planted on a server that was named "Anonymous" and had the words "We are legion," in it. But the self-styled vigilantes denied involvement in the data theft.
They released a statement via YouTube last month saying that while the group's organizers had not stolen the data, it was possible some members of the group were involved in the matter. (bit.ly/mG3WvT)
Members of Anonymous involved in the denial-of-service campaign may have decided to seize the opportunity to steal the data while Sony was distracted protecting its network, said Jeff Moss, chief security officer for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN.
The company noticed unauthorized activity on its network on April 19, and discovered that data had been transferred off the network the next day. It waited until April 22 to notify the FBI.
Sony chose to disclose the latest details of the attacks in a letter to the U.S. House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on commerce, manufacturing and trade rather than testify in a hearing on cyber attacks that was held on Wednesday.
Lawmakers expressed disappointment that Sony and Epsilon declined to appear at the hearing and pledged a bill that would require companies to do a better job of safeguarding their customers' data and to quickly disclose to customers when their data was lost.
Subcommittee Chairwoman Mary Bono Mack noted with dismay that Sony first disclosed the breach on a blog.
"Sony put the burden on consumers to search for information, instead of accepting the burden of notifying them," she said. "If I have anything to do with it, that kind of half-hearted, half-baked response is not going to fly in the future."

I love it when the story is so close to home. I found this really cool little video from Cinema 5D viewer Clifford Bergqvist in the videolog portion of the site. Clifford employed his father to construct a really nice shoulder rig for his Canon 7D, using wood and a neat little follow focus built into the left handle. Great job filming this little Doc on the construction of the rig. This looks like a great way to save up for some nice Zeiss ZE glass. Thanks for posting this Clifford.

The Marfa Lights mystery has plagued the minds of many individuals throughout history.
It is said that these lights are about the size of basketballs. In some instances, it is said that the lights float just above the ground. In other accounts, they are seen relatively high in the air. While seen moving exceptionally slowly, they are also capable of moving at really high rates of speed. There are many colors associated with the ghost lights. These colors include white, blue, yellow, green, red, and even orange. The Marfa lights are often observed in large groups and seem to move in sync with one another. In some instances, the lights come together to form certain patterns.
It is not common to see the lights during the day. Nearly all reported sightings have occurred in the nighttime. Annually, it is estimated that the lights occur ten to twenty times. The times in which the lights appear and the exact location of the lights vary from one sighting to another, but the observers are convinced that they do see this mysterious phenomenon, and despite their best efforts, they are unable to determine a sound explanation for the events. In some accounts they are only visible for seconds or minutes. In other instances, they occur visibly for hours on end. These mysterious lights do not seem to be affected by weather conditions or any other type of environmental condition. Despite efforts to debunk that the lights are related to the paranormal or any type of extraterrestrial events, the basis of these lights are still considered to be one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the area.

Shattered Sun is not PhasingEdit
It says in the start of the article that phasing is things appearing differently to different characters. Shattered Sun, the Gates of An'Qiraj, etc. are not examples of phasing, since they are server wide events that look the same to all players. If the Gates looked closed to some but not to others, that would be different. But seeing as they don't... Darien Shields (talk) 12:41, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
In the article it mentions that "One of the horde cities changes their leader, and all players with different leaders will be phased out."
Are they referring to the Battle of the Undercity where the Horde kill Varimathras, who is not a leader more of a second in command, or is it something else? -Sairez (talk)
Its a orc city in Northrend, cant remember which atm, but it was probably either Kron'kron vanguard or Conquest Hold. Mistiwaters (talk) 02:06, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Ok, thx for clearing that up for me. -Sairez (talk)
So, say if a group want to do something and meet there, but some of them finished the quest and some do not, they can't see each others? That's no good. What happens when the players from opposite faction come to that town? Dethstorm (talk) 12:25, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- They won't see each other but they can still be in a party. From my experience, the majority pf phasing in Northrend is NPCs in towns or creature spawns and such. Most of the time it is the creatures or NPCs that can be seen that is the phasing. But for more extreme changes, such as a battle taking place and then it being over, the players are being phased as well. The best examples of these are Agmar's Hammer where different NPCs spawn depending on where you are in the Taunka quest chain and the Wrathgate and the Battle for the Undercity where the entire area is phased. IMAO this is one the best game mechanics in WotLK. It really gives you the feel that you are changing Northrend.--Wakleon (talk) 03:12, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
- IMHO it is more and more like a single player RPG(but with multiplayers), different players see different things does not feel like a world at all, instead it brings instance concept to the outdoor world. But yea look at the subscription, looks like its the modern definition of MMORPG, just that I(and other long term MMORPG players) become disappointed with what MMORPG has became. Dethstorm (talk) 03:36, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
- Personaly I've always thought of the inability to affect the world as a drawback of MMORPGs. With a couple thousand people per realm, phasing works very well as you are generaly not cut off from others except in certain areas, and in those areas chances are you wont be grouping with said people anyways as they have different quests. Also, I suggest you see This Link Mistiwaters (talk) 07:33, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Experiments Edit
It is easy to say "this is phased, because I do not see player X". Are there any known cases where players X and Y can see each other, but they see some game object/NPC differently?
Note that this is separate from whether something has the sparkles because of tracking or quest objectives. I'm thinking along the lines of NPC Bob is in one place for player X, and a different place for player Y, yet players X and Y see each other.
Please avoid the more silly examples, where player X can see NPC Bob at location X (region 1) AND location Y (region 2). --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 21:34, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
- There are two examples I can think of, one with objects, and the other with NPCs. In Dun Niffelem, the objects used for the Sons of Hodir daily quests will appear to some players but not others depending on which quests were completed, although both players can see one another. However, it should be noted that these objects generally do not have collision turned on; therefore, Hodir's Helm and the Spear could not be stood on, causing the character to appear to be hovering to players that have not unlocked those items. It should be noted then that this might not be considered phasing as a result. The only quest giving object that has collision enabled in Dun Niffelem is the anvil, and players that can see the anvil are in a different phase, and can not see players that can't see the anvil.
- The other example would be some Oracle and Wolvar NPCs in Shalozar Basin. Selected NPCs, mostly questgivers and vendors, can only be seen if you have Neutral or higher reputation with that faction. This is probably to prevent griefing, since players can not attack the invisible NPCs. However, again, I am not sure if this actually counts as phasing. It is possible that the client is not displaying the characters, rather than the server not saying they are there. --Wige (T - C) 16:21, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Does the The Spirit of Gnomeregan count? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 20:35, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- It might not actually. The technology that allows "phasing" was added in 3.0.2, so when I am looking at something and trying to figure out if it is phasing or not, I usually think first is there something similar from before the expansion. So, I tend to argue that the death effect is not actually phasing since the effect was in the game long before. I think a similar effect was in use, for example in Skettis to reveal the priests for the boss quest - sorry, its been a while, I forget the names - even though that was tracked with a buff, they may have just expanded the concept in Northrend to work based on rep or quest completion. --Wige (T - C) 02:01, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

What's that old cliché? A sunny place for shady people? Well, we've heard it applied to various locales, but we think Florida definitely epitomizes it, and the Daily Beast agrees. The prolific list makers ranked each U.S. state on corruption, and Florida came in sixth.
Tennessee, Virginia, Mississippi, Delaware and North Carolina out dirtied us, but the Sunshine State sure has a lot to be shameful for. We came in sixth for racketeering and extortion, 12th for public corruption and 13th for embezzlement. Our best showing was 21st place for most corrupt state in the forgery and counterfeiting category.

Ian reminds us of the importance of identifying your ideal client and then focusing your business on that person. When he opened Ian Fitness, he wanted to be known for one thing – results – and he focused solely on that purpose with everything he did.
Ian also reminds us that we need to lead with value and put processes in place to help us succeed. While it is good to start out learning to do everything yourself, you also need to trust others and hire the right people to continue to grow. Ian talks about how he took his time to build and let the market direct his expansion instead of trying to grow too fast.

My husband recently told me some game-changing news about himself that directly affects our marriage. While I don't feel comfortable sharing it with the world yet, I am so affected by it that I have to talk about its impact on me, and this blog is the natural place to do that.
My marriage might be over. I'm not sure. Saying the words did not kill me, though it is certainly absolutely horrible. Saying the 'incest' word didn't kill me either. None of it has killed me yet, I suppose. Most of it has made me wish I were dead on many, many occasions though.
I don't know if our marriage can survive this latest blow. We love each other so much, but I wonder if I am about to prove, yet again in my life, that love is not enough to save something that cannot be saved. I proved this with my first girlfriend too.
I married this wonderful sweet man almost 7 years ago, and much of the reason that I allowed myself to love him is because he was willing to wait as long as we needed to wait for me to be comfortable enough to have sex with him. I was terrified of penis. He made me a lot less afraid of it, and the men to whom penises are attached. Maybe it was intimacy I was also afraid of, and still am.
I kind of feel like I am in Chapter 2 of Portia Nelson's autobiography (which I will post below so you can see.) I am in the same hole again, but I know where I am. I am not sure what to do with that knowledge though, or how to get out of the hole I am in.
It is not my fault that my marriage is falling apart at the seams. What is my fault, however, is getting into this marriage in the first place. For falling in love. For trusting that this time it would work out for me. For thinking, for even one fucking second, that being a fucked kid didn't have everything to do with every decision I make. Even now, in the midst of possibly ending this marriage, my heart panics loudly at the idea of trying to go it alone. Of the nights. Of picking up the pieces from yet another thing I have failed at in my stupid life. Frightening even to write the words.
Every decision I make is a direct result of three molesters who took advantage of my body when I was a pre-schooler, a child, and a teenager. Every action is weighed in terms of safety. Surviving incest and child sexual abuse has impacted every single part of my life, from the color underwear that I choose to wear to the person that I married. It's living proof of Newton's 3rd law, that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This is why you shouldn't fuck kids.
Autobiography in Five Short Chapters
by Portia Nelson
Chapter One
I walk down the street
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in
I'm lost. . . I'm helpless
It isn't my fault
It takes me forever to find a way out
Chapter 2
I walk down the same street
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
I pretend I don't see it
I fall in again
I can't believe I'm in the same place
But it isn't my fault
It still takes a long time to get out
Chapter 3
I walk down the same street
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
I see it there
I still fall in. . . it's a habit
My eyes are open
I know where I am
It is my fault
I get out immediately
Chapter 4
I walk down the same street
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it
Chapter 5
I walk down another street

The other day there was an Oprah show on about a particular case of child abuse where the father and stepmother kept this 6 year old boy (Clayton) locked in this tiny closet for months, in chains. They peed on him, rubbed his face with poop, and starved him.
Oprah showed this in 2000 on her show, and had Clayton (now a young man of 19) on her show now in 2011. When I looked at the pictures of him at the police station as a 6 year old being rescued, his eyes looked absolutely dead. Just dead. And now, at 19, his eyes still looked that way. It was absolutely terrible. (This is why you shouldn't fuck kids. When it doesn't kill our bodies, it kills our souls.)
Anyway, a 9 year old girl was watching the show in 2000, and it gave her the strength to tell someone about the fact that her step-father had been raping her for 3 years. Oprah had her on the show now to meet the boy who inspired her to do this. Clayton hugged her. She began to cry on his shoulder, but he didn't know it and pulled away, thinking it was time to end the hug. When he saw she was crying, he hugged her again, and this time he held the hug until she let go.
I thought to myself how beautiful that was. Two survivors of terrible abuse shared in each other's pain and comforted each other just by each other's presence. I also thought it was so beautiful that even though his father and step-mother were such degenerate animals so as to do these things to Clayton, he still had such beauty and compassion about him that he genuinely wanted to comfort the other survivor on the show. This is such a sign of hope.
"We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." -Dr. Viktor Frankl, concentration camp survivor

When a dog 'guards' his food by growling at anyone who comes near his food, dog experts call it 'guarding issues'. Survivors have guarding issues too, but in a different way.
Sword Dance Warrior wrote in this post about being a child sexual abuse survivor : "If you're just having sex with someone just so that they will guard you at night, get a dog." When I read that, I thought to myself 'Holy shit, other survivors invite people into their beds to guard them too? I thought I was the only one!'
Is it just Warrior and I, or are there other survivors out there who have done this sort of thing in a bid for safety?
I can't count how many times I have asked people to share my bed just so that I could sleep better through the night. I invited people to share my bed just so that I would have someone to guard me at night. While I didn't have full-on sex with these people, I certainly did share my body in a sexual way just so that they would choose to stay with me. This is why you shouldn't fuck kids. If you want to prevent promiscuous sexual activity, stop fucking kids, and we will stop using our bodies to get people to sleep with us through the night and guard us against you.
As my regular readers know, when my husband travels on business, the idea of being alone at night scares me so badly, I would choose to pay someone to stay with me if I could. I have long felt that we should have some sort of service for survivors of child sexual abuse whereby safe people come stay with you when you are too scared to be by yourself. Maybe we could combine services, and get the lonely scared elderly to stay with the lonely scared child sexual abuse survivors. That way both sets of people wouldn't be lonely and scared anymore.
Guarding issues. The 233rd way that surviving child sexual abuse has interfered with my normal adult functioning.
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: babysitter-child sexual abuse, brother, survivor of childhood sexual abuse
I've been teaching my son to use the bathroom. He's a toddler. Today I helped him up onto the toilet seat, and he wanted privacy in the bathroom. He told me in his sweet little voice "You help me up and then you go away, okay?" I of course left the bathroom immediately. I keep trying to teach my son that he has power, especially power over his own body. Power over who sees his body, who touches his body. Power, the kind of power that I never seem to feel myself.
I wonder if we told the babysitter to go away. Obviously she didn't listen, but I wonder if we put up a fight. I wonder if we protested at all.
I think about it a lot. I wonder about the details. The therapist says I know enough to heal, but I still wonder. Did it start immediately? Like as soon as my mom left? Did we sense she was evil right away?
I wonder how helpless we must have felt, my brother and I, when we realized just how fucking powerless we were in that situation, alone in our home with someone 10 years older than us. Me, all of five years old, and him all of seven. We were so fucking little, and she must have been absolutely thrilled when she got the job to babysit us. My mom, being a single mother at the time – I mean, this whole thing is just so fucking textbook classic!
How long do you suppose she molested us for, during that first evening? I mean, at what point do you think she stopped? She had to have started in immediately, for fear that my mom would come home sooner than expected and put a stop to all of her evil fun. How long did she molest us? Was it one hour? Two? Three?
I wish I had at least some sort of visual memory of all of this, so that I could stop being so afraid of everything.
My mom came for a visit not too long ago and she left an address book that she kept from that time. From the time of the babysitter. She said there is a possibility that the notebook contains that number. I asked her to bring the notebook, and she did. (She takes my shit real seriously ever since our together session with the therapist.) I haven't been able to look at it at all. Just can't do it yet.
My son asks for privacy in the bathroom, and I make damn sure he receives it. He is 3, and I was only 1 or 2 years older than him (I think) when that babysitter ruined me. Broke me. Like Humpty Dumpty, who fell off that wall and couldn't be put together again.

1-Year-Old Son Of California Corrections Officer Shot And Killed By Sister
The 1-year-old son of a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation employee was shot dead on Wednesday in the town of Chowchilla.
According to ABC News, the boy was accidentally shot by his sister, who had somehow gained access to a gun belonging to their mother Erica Bautisa.
Bautisa is a 16-year corrections veteran, but may face charges related to the incident.
"Well anytime a child gets a hold of firearm, and there's some sort of a negligent discharge, it's a criminal matter," said Lt. Jeff Palmer of the Chowchilla Police Department to ABC Channel 30.
Police received a call for help around 5 p.m. on Wednesday and responded to Bautisa's residence. There they found her 1-year-old suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.
Paramedics rushed the boy to Valley Children's Hospital but medical staff were unable to save him.
Detectives told ABC that Bautisa was home at the time of the accident. The gun involved was registered to Bautisa but not her duty weapon. Police suspect it was improperly stored.
"Firearms are not something to be taken for granted, don't leave them loaded, and absolutely don't leave them in an area a child can get its hands on it," said Lt. Palmer.
Neighbor Kathy Scott said she was shocked and saddened by the news, but she wonders why the gun was not properly secured with children in the home.
"Keep it locked up, like the way they tell you when you buy it," Scott said.
Officers reportedly met with the district attorney's office on Thursday in the process of determining whether charges will be brought.

You can protect from intruders by having your gun readily available, or from children by having it securly locked away. You can't do both.

At Gold Coast Plumbing Services, we offer professional blocked drain services at an affordable price.
Blocked Drains
Blocked drains can be a nightmare and, if left unattended can cause major damage to the interior; floor coverings, furniture etc and the exterior; gardens, pathways, patio area etc. If tree roots have infiltrated your pipes causing them to crack and maybe even burst we'll fix the pipes and have then doing what they're supposed to be doing, i.e. carrying water, in no time at all.
Blocked toilets can also cause all sorts of problems as well. If you suspect any pipe has a leak or more major problem, it's wise to call in a plumber fast before unavoidable damage is caused.
At Gold Coast Plumbing Services we have taken advantage of technological advancements and machines to make our work easier; jet rodding is a good example. This is a method of unblocking drains by using a jet of water at high pressure.
Jet Rodding
Another process we have adopted in the clearing of blocked pipes, blocked drainage and blocked plumbing is the use of a technique known as jet rodding. Jet rodding is a modern form of clearing out blocked drainage systems. This technique makes use of high pressure water to clean out drains, storm water pipes and toilets in order to remove any debris that is causing a blockage.

The Monday morning commute into central London can be challenging enough, but yesterday saw hundreds of thousands of rail commuters experience disruption following a bizarre incident on a South Western Railway train running from Shepperton to Waterloo.
The disruption was caused when a few panicky passengers "self-evacuated" the train after someone on-board with them began acting erratically and they felt their safety threatened. As the passengers streamed down the tracks towards the nearby Wimbledon station, Network Rail, who operate tracks and infrastructure in the UK, were left with no choice but to switch power across that stretch of the line, causing long delays.
The incident that happened around 8.30am actually impacted some of the Transport Security World team on their way into work and the ripples of the delays were felt throughout the morning. The passenger who caused such chaos, has been described as a "Doomsday preacher" quoting the Old Testament whilst the Guard who calmed the situation has received praise.
Speaking to the Guardian marketing consultant Ian O'Sullivan, reported the preacher was; "Quite well spoken and calm." "He said: 'Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to talk to you about something and that something is the word of the Lord, Jesus Christ. He's here to heal your sins. The Bible tells you that homosexuality is a sin and sex before marriage is a sin. You need to repent'."
Other passengers said the man referred to "doomsday" and the afterlife. And people began started pushing and shoving "It suddenly became a Chinese whisper and [there was] panic," he said. "It was quite a full train, but the area around him was suddenly quite empty."
It was at this point that some passengers, prised open the doors and went on to the tracks causing the power shut dow and ensuing delays.
O'Sullivan continued; "We could hear a woman [outside] saying there's a man and he's going to kill everybody," he said. "But everybody in the carriage said he never said that."
An on-board Guard on arriving at the carriage, searched the man, and finding nothing but a flask and books. On finally arriving at Wimbledon station, British Transport Police officers questioned the man, but he was not arrested.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union ( @RMTunion ), which is currently balloting South Western Railway members on whether to strike in a dispute over guards on trains, also praised the guard's response.
The union's general secretary, Mick Cash, said: "Panic could have broken out but for the guard's calm and measured response. This was a packed passenger train at the height of the rush hour. It illustrates just why RMT members are fighting so hard to keep the guard on South Western Railway services."
Editor's View: Clearly an overreaction from passengers, but perhaps an understandable one considering the now regular wave of terrorist incidents aimed at transport, this unfortunate event does highlight the importance of a guard on-board for these kind of situations. Well done to the guard and the British Transport Police for their measured and reassuring response.
