Mayo: Exercise, computer use may stem memory loss in seniors
A new study suggests that combining computer use with moderate exercise late in life may decrease the odds of memory loss.
Mayo Clinic researchers surveyed more than 900 Olmsted County residents ages 70 to 93 to find that possible link.
Dr. Yonas Geda, a psychiatrist and neurologist at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, is the lead author of the study. He said physical exercise can bring nutrients and oxygen to different parts of the brain, including the part related to memory.
"The computer activities might be helping by stimulating the connections, the communications, between nerve endings," he said.
Previous studies have shown the benefits of exercising body and mind, and the Mayo researchers said a combination of both could be the key for those late in life. But the researchers said more research is needed to prove exercise and computer use can cause a reduced risk of memory loss.
Geda also says data from surveys asking people to remember their activities are sometimes unreliable.
"There is what we call recall bias. Whenever we try to remember things, maybe we might make mistakes of remembering details, so that's one weakness."
The study is published in this month's issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

USDA Crop Production Update
Today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) released its November Crop Production report.
In part, the NASS update indicated that, "Corn production is forecast at 10.7 billion bushels, up slightly from the October forecast but down 13 percent from 2011. This represents the lowest production in the United States since 2006. Based on conditions as of November 1, yields are expected to average 122.3 bushels per acre, up 0.3 bushel from the October forecast but 24.9 bushels below the 2011 average. If realized, this will be the lowest average yield since 1995. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 87.7 million acres, unchanged from the October forecast and up 4 percent from 2011."
Today's update added that, "Soybean production is forecast at 2.97 billion bushels, up 4 percent from October but down 4 percent from last year. Based on November 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 39.3 bushels per acre, up 1.5 bushels from last month but down 2.6 bushels from last year. Compared with last month, yield forecasts are higher or unchanged across all States except for Oklahoma and Texas. Area for harvest in the United States is forecast at 75.7 million acres, unchanged from October and up 3 percent from last year."
The NASS update included these two graphical illustrations of U.S. corn and soybean production (click on graph for full view).
Also today, the World Agricultural Outlook Board (WAOB) released its monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE), which incorporated today's NASS production update.
In part, the WASDE report stated that, "Projected corn imports are raised 25 million bushels reflecting expectations for more shipments, particularly into the southeastern feed market which ordinarily relies heavily on supplies from the eastern Corn Belt. Corn food, seed, and industrial use for 2012/13 is raised 17 million bushels with higher use projected for sweeteners and starch. Corn ending stocks are projected 28 million bushels higher at 647 million. The season-average farm price for corn, at $6.95 to $8.25 per bushel, is projected 20 cents lower at the midpoint, mostly reflecting a lower-than-expected September price and the continuation of weakness in cash and deferred futures prices over the past month."
The WAOB also noted that, "Soybean crush is raised 20 million bushels to 1.56 billion based on increased soybean meal export prospects. Soybean exports are raised 80 million bushels to 1.345 billion reflecting larger supplies and the strong pace of sales through October. Soybean ending stocks are projected at 140 million bushels, up 10 million from last month."
"Prices for soybeans and products are all reduced this month. The U.S. season-average soybean price range is projected at $13.90 to $15.90 per bushel, down 35 cents on both ends of the range."
Charts containing the complete supply and demand variables for U.S. corn and soybeans are reproduced from today's WASDE report (click on tables for full view).

Maybe you have noticed it, too. After Memorial Day the only kind of reading I look forward to doing is that of a good book - a great story - on a beach, by the pool, or perched on a favorite spot somewhere outdoors.
Well before the heat sets in, when the skies are clear, our disposition gravitates towards sunny. Which means we begin to slow down at work.
Whether you are your own boss or not, it's hard to take yourself to task - especially on Fridays. Today I posted at The Blog Herald asking: can you run an online publication? All the while pining for the open air I can almost taste outside my windows.
With that in mind, there are some things that we as content producers - writers, marketers, PR professionals, authors, researchers - can do to fight the summer doldrums.
- Be realistic. Reading patterns are seasonal. If you're a business writer/publisher, you'll likely feel a stronger pinch than most. Take a deep breath, remain true to your basic mission, and wait for the end of vacation season.
- Take a break. Post best-of material for a couple weeks and come back fresh.
- Start a side publication or series on something really new. If it's substantially off-message, preface each post with an explanation that it's part of a limited series. Then write about something that makes you happy, or some project you feel passionate about. The key here is "different."
- Line up a few guest posts, and return the favor. This is a good way to get some fresh perspective and make new friends.
- Hit the basics. If you have fewer people coming into the store during the summer months, you'll need to close more deals to fill the till, as it were. There are plenty of site tune-up tutorials around, but a few obvious possibilities are decluttering your sidebar, a new theme or logo, and going back over your articles to see your greatest hits and misses. Write more of the former, and much less of the last.
What else have you done to mix things up and prepare for the next creative wave?

Example Photos what's this?
EXAMPLE TIMBERS: 9x12, 10x12 and 10x14 x 18-20' DF Weathered Timbers (Defense Depot) (photoset #453)
|Various; heavy on Douglas Fir
|Various (buildings, trestles, other structures, falsework, etc.)
|Primarily Heart Center (HC); usually moderately tight to very tight growth rings
|Nails, bolts and other fasteners can be removed, cut flush or left as-is. Some metal can be broken off inside the beam.
|Nail, bolt and other fastener holes are allowed; the quantity and size of the holes can vary widely from timber to timber, with some timbers containing no holes or only limited small nail holes and others containing frequent nail and bolt holes. Staining around nail and bolt holes is common.
|Timbers can have moderate butt and surface checking and cracks and minor end splitting
|Moisture Content/Stability
|Weathered (degree of weathering varies); original timber surfacing ranges from smooth-planed to rough-sawn; Surface degradation (waterdamage or surface rot or "punkiness") is common; weathered timber colors vary - common colors include brown (common for interior weathered timbers), grays (common for exterior weathered timbers) and combinations of browns and grays.
|Approximately 3 pounds per board foot
|Appearance Variation
|Weathered timbers will generally vary in appearance from piece to piece and even within a piece. The weathering (amount, mix of colors, etc) and other characteristics of one face can be substantially different than the weathering and other characteristics of another face. Some weathered timbers are cut from larger weathered timbers, giving them one or more fresh-sawn faces. Such fresh-sawn faces can often be made to look less bright (and more weathered/aged) to help them blend in with weathered faces.
|Trestlewood treats weathered timbers to 10" x 10" x 16' as "standard dimension" for pricing purposes. Larger and/or longer weathered timbers are also often available. Dimensions are often nominal.
The more latitude the customer can provide in acceptable timber sizes, the better able Trestlewood is to meet the customer's timber needs in an economical and timely manner.
|Weathered timbers are generally very stable

Finally! That's hopefully a big monkey off our backs. We killed him 2 seconds or so after the Enrage timer. Best part was that I got the killing blow!
After that, we killed Void Reaver, and then went and saw Kael. That looks like a very fun fight. Phase 1 went by very fast, and Phase 2 was just total chaos. I think we're going to go back to SSC first though.
Still, 3/4 TK and 3/6 SSC is not too bad. Hopefully we can make better progress on the back half of Serpentshrine Cavern.

Hey fantastic, congratulations! Glad you're enjoying yourself!ReplyDelete
Awesome! Good luck on Kael!ReplyDelete
Thanks for all the +hit info I always look up here and always fail to leave a comment.
Al'ar is my favorite TK fight. Phase 1 is nice and laid back, phase 2 is utter chaos. It took us a bit of trying, but eventually we got to the point where it was a really fun fight just to go through, always new and interesting.
Good luck with your remaining SSC bosses and Kael. You'll most likely end up hating the fight with a bloody passion, but even after the nerfs its the hardest thign you'll have to do until Bloodboil.
Grats man!ReplyDelete
Our guild downed A'lar just the other day also!
We're 3/4 in TK, and 5/6 in SSC So we'll be seeing Kael for the first time this week and trying Vashj again this week also!
Fun times ahead!!!

Grats! We've been doing Al'ar recently by not killing any adds in Phase 2. I'm not really sure how popular that strat is, but it's worked very well for us. A prot paladin and a prot warrior both grab them as quickly as they can and just move off to the side while all dps is on Al'ar.ReplyDelete
But yeah, good luck in moving forward. Kael is definitely a fun fight once you get it down.

This page mainly summarizes solutions to some main problems during the development of Embest DevKit8500. Hope it would give you some help.
Hardware problem
Why your new bought 7-inch LCD has no display when power on?
Answer: It is very normal. Embest default delivered board is preloaded with 4.3-inch LCD image. Please refer to "Devkit8500 Quick User Manual.pdf" provided in product DVD to update the image for 7-inch LCD. Sorry for any inconvenience brought to you.
Why the touch screen could not be used when getting into WinCE system?
Answer: When getting into WinCE system, LCD displays as below, there is no response when touching the cross in center by figure.
There are might be two reasons:
1. The provided touch screen is resistive touch screen, so please use touch pen to click the center cross not use your figure;
2. It needs about 1 second touching time for calibration, if the touching time is too short, the operation will be regarded invalid.

Woolrich has been synonymous with quality outdoor clothing for over 180 years. The company got its start in 1830 when John Rich, an immigrant from England, built his first woolen mill in Plum Run, Pennsylvania. Rich would visit the lumber camps that dotted the area and sell his woolen fabric, socks , coverlets, and yarn from a mule cart.
Eventually, the introduction of new high-tech materials allowed Woolrich to enhance the performance of its outdoor wear, meeting the needs of a new generation of enthusiasts. Traditional fabrics like wool and cotton teamed up with man-made fibers to create clothing that our customers could rely on for everything from a backpacking trip to a leisurely stroll.
Today the little village of Woolrich is still headquarters for the company, but the business has grown to a worldwide lifestyle company with a full range of outdoor-inspired products, from jackets and shirts to outdoor furniture . The company that provided blankets to the Union soldiers in the Civil War today keeps folks warm under its wonderful throws as they cuddle up by the fireplace. You can buy a wool jacket your great-great grandfather may have worn in the woods or a parka that's all about the latest in advanced technology.
What has not changed in all those years is Woolrich's commitment to quality, value, and products that fit the outdoor lifestyle. And most of all, our commitment to you, our customers.

UnNews:DOJ: Incidence of reported rapes by banks, Call of Duty players on the rise nationwide
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
18 September 2012
WASHINGTON, DC - Amidst growing voices denouncing a "rape culture" that leads many to believe there is a tacit acceptance of sexual activity without the explicit consent of the other party, the US Department of Justice released shocking statistics today showing a dramatic rise in the rate of sexual assaults perpetrated by banks, the Internal Revenue Service, video game players, and car dealerships.
The report, titled "Rape In The United States: A Worrying Trend", singled out commercial banks as well as players of Call of Duty as showing the sharpest rise in reported rapes.
"Every day in this country, tens of thousands of victims report being raped by their banks and hundreds of thousands while playing video games," said Attorney General Eric Holder. "Yet the perpetrators are rarely punished and the assaults continue unabated. For the victims, there is little justice in our modern society."
Indeed, one doesn't have to look far to see evidence of the rise in this violent crime. The internet is littered with comments from victims seeking the support of their friends.
"Man, I just got totally raped by that bio exam," confessed Mica Bremmer, 16, of Kissimmee, Florida, who was assaulted by an inanimate piece of 8.5"x11" paper in her school on March 3rd, 2012. She is part of an increasingly worrying trend of "total rape" among our nation's youth, a disturbing departure from the past where most victims were simply regular-raped.
A silver lining on the worrying trend highlighted by the DOJ is the increased incidence of rape reporting. Historically, most victims would simply try to forget about what happened or go into denial about it, sometimes even going so far as dating the perpetrator to try to minimize what happened in their minds. Yet today's victims seem more than willing to talk about the crime to work through their emotional scars.
"I've just listened to this on a Les Petits Pillous mix at OMGITM, it was the song they started with, and.... I was totally raped!", admitted "Jim" (not his real name), who will probably have trouble in relationships for the rest of his life, such as a fear of encountering new songs, of being alone with music, or of declining the sexual advances of future songs out of fear of experiencing the same trauma again.
Despite Jim's willingness to talk about the issue, no charges were filed. Several more people have since claimed to have been attacked by the song in subsequent plays.
Once considered by the public to be largely a "feminist" issue, today's report highlights that for the first time, male victims have surpassed female victims in the number of reported rapes.
"I was totally raped by those guys in our last game of TI3," confessed Alex Dewar, 19, of Harker Heights, Texas. "I totally suck," he added, characteristic of the self-blame that is common among victims of sexual assault. People like those guys generally consider a lack of physical resistance from the victim enough to justify whatever actions they choose to do to them and feel little to no remorse for their crime. While it was a traumatic event for Alex, his assailants likely considered it no more than a date.
Victims' advocate Shannon McCarthy expressed her sympathy for Alex. "The sad truth is, if he went to the police, there would likely be no charges filed. Even if it did go to court, those guys, their friends, and family members would smear Alex as having "wanted it" during the TI3 game, gotten jealous afterwards, and decided to ruin innocent peoples' lives. That said, it is possible to stop people like those guys, and whether Alex wants to know where to get legal advice or simply needs someone to talk to, there are people who can help."
Alex could not be reached for response, as according to his friends, he had gone to a party to forget about his pain by "getting some dumb slut wasted out of her mind" in order to "get some".

Antonin Gregory Scalia (pronounced /skəˈliːə/ ( listen); born March 11, 1936) is an American jurist who serves as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. As the longest-serving justice on the Court, Scalia is the Senior Associate Justice. Appointed to the Court by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, Scalia has been described as the intellectual anchor of the Court's conservative wing.
Scalia was born in Trenton, New Jersey, and attended public grade school and Catholic high school in New York City, where his family had moved. He attended Georgetown University as an undergraduate, and obtained his Bachelor of Laws degree from Harvard Law School. After spending six years in a Cleveland law firm, he became a law school professor. In the early 1970s, he served in the Nixon and Ford administrations, first at minor administrative agencies, and then as an assistant attorney general. He spent most of the Carter years teaching at the University of Chicago, where he became one of the first faculty advisers of the fledgling Federalist Society. In 1982, he was appointed as a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by President Ronald Reagan.
In 1986, Scalia was appointed by Reagan to the Supreme Court to fill the associate justice seat vacated when Justice William Rehnquist was elevated to Chief Justice. Whereas Rehnquist's confirmation was contentious, Scalia was asked few difficult questions by the Senate Judiciary Committee, and faced no opposition. Scalia was unanimously confirmed by the Senate, and took his seat on September 26, 1986.

I have had one of those strange strings of days when nothing and everything happens. I have taken part in a local craft fair, caught up with the current season of Lost, dealt with some serious plumbing issues at our house, gone shopping and bought things, suffered from headaches, heard from a long-lost friend, and written reading lists for myself, thanks to all the wonderful suggestions you guys have sent my way regarding my research on mental institutions. Thank you, and keep them coming!
Every summer I go through the same silly routine of worrying about my bony limbs and pale skin, and every summer I eventually end up dealing with my imperfections just like everyone else. Come the weekend, I'll be changing in and out of random ensembles for an hour, only to come up with an outfit I am unhappy with, walking my arms glued onto my sides so that no one can see how bony my elbows are. (If I could, I would insert a little unsettled emoticon rolling its eyes, right about here.)
There are times when I wonder whether there is something profoundly insecure about the female existence to begin with, something more than the pressure from the outside. Could it be in our genetic make-up to have to struggle with our body image so much? At the end of the day, we do know better. We know that our bodies are there to stay for as long as we live, and we know that the stuff that really counts in life is not tied into these fragile castles of sand our souls live in. Yet we spend so much time worrying about how others see us, and the only things that often stare back at us in the mirror are our imperfections. Why, I really don't know. I refuse to accept that my mind is brain-washed by our societal norms, even though it probably is. It is frustrating and silly, it insults my intelligence and my inner strength, and I wish I could somehow escape the whole ordeal, to be above it. Anyway, one of my warm-weather-contenders is this dress, which I bought at Target's Liberty of London collection (and yes, I felt too insecure to wear it for the photo - how sad is that!):
I also bought these Liberty-print-beauties:
and some costume jewellery at the local craft fair this past weekend:
Norwegian wool sweater: second hand / UFF
Blue silk top worn as skirt: Zara

RICHMOND, Va. – It's a well-known fact that Head Coach Shaka Smart of the VCU men's basketball program is a history buff.
Then it really comes as no surprise as Smart and his Rams continue to rewrite the history books when it comes to VCU basketball. For the first time ever, the Black & Gold earned a top-10 ranking, finishing sixth in the final USA Today/ESPN Coaches' poll of the 2010-11 season.
"I'm extremely proud of this group of guys and what they've accomplished over the past month," Smart said. "They've forever changed not only this basketball program, but this university as a whole. It speaks volumes to the type of players that we are privileged enough to have as part of our family."
It's the highest-ever ranking by any CAA school and the first top-10 appearance since George Mason in 2006, when they finished eighth. The last time a Rams team appeared in the top-25 was in 1984-85, when they finished 11th in the country according to the AP poll.
VCU wrapped up the 2010-11 campaign with an overall mark of 28-12, which ties the school record for victories in a season, previously set by the 2006-07 squad.
The Rams made their mark when it counted the most, posting a 7-2 record in the month of March, including the program's first-ever Final Four appearance.
En route to the history making performance, VCU toppled BCS powers like USC (Pac-10), Georgetown (Big East), Purdue (Big Ten), Florida State (ACC) and Kansas (Big 12).
"First and foremost, as a coaching staff, we want to continue making strides in the development process of our student-athletes," Smart said. "With that process comes continued success on the court."
Over the course of Smart's two years at VCU, the Rams have posted a 55-21 record, which is the highest win total over any two-year span in school history.

Pittsburgh School Shooting Wounds Three, Prompts SWAT Response
Students not seriously hurt in the gunfire.
Nov. 13, 2013 -- A shooting near a Pittsburgh high school this afternoon left three students injured and SWAT team cops searching for a gunman.
Six people have been taken into custody for questioning following the shooting, Acting Police Chief Regina McDonald told ABC News affiliate WTAE this evening.
Police said the five men and one woman in custody were suspects, but no one has been charged and police are still investigating the shooting.
The three male students were shot near Brashear High School around 3 p.m.
One was grazed in the head, another grazed in the neck and shoulder, and the third student was shot in the foot and arm, Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard said.
The victims are not cooperating with police, Richard said.
"We do have some leads on the actor or actors," Richard said.
The individuals were taken into custody at a home near the high school after SWAT team members in an armored vehicle responded to the home, officials said. A baby was also taken out of the home by police, according to WTAE.
Active Shooter Incidents Have Spiked in Recent Years
None of the students' injuries are considered life threatening, she said.
One student, age 17, is in surgery for a gunshot wound to his neck, according to ABC News affiliate WTAE.
Richard said the shooter ran into nearby woods after the shooting. Police then began searching. She could not rule out whether there were additional shooters.
Pittsburgh school district spokeswoman Ebony Pugh told ABC News that the students were walking to a vehicle they'd all taken to school earlier in the day when they were shot. Two were juniors in high school and one was a freshman, Pugh told ABC News affiliate WTAE.
One of the victims ran into the school after being shot, Richard said.
The three victims were taken to area hospitals but are not cooperating with police, Richard said.
The school was placed on lockdown after the first reports of the shooting.
Brashear is Pittsburgh Public Schools' largest high school by enrollment with 1,416 students. A portion of the same building houses South Hills Middle School, which has 580 students, according to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
The incident is the latest in a string of shootings in recent weeks, including at a New Jersey mall, Los Angeles airport, the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., and Sparks Middle School in Sparks, Nevada.
This is a developing story. Check back to ABC News for more updates.

Dungeon loot rules and ethics
Here's an anecdote to start this discussion off. A while ago I was tanking a random Dire Maul run with my druid. At one point, an epic BOE caster shield drops from a boss. One of the dps, another druid (druids can't use shields FYI :), says, "Can I need this for my shaman?". I say "No, it's a BOE epic, we all Greed for it". While the others rolled greed, I could sense that the other druid was struggling with himself. I might be mistaken but I got the vibe that he was thinking about Needing the shield. Eventually he rolled greed. Another dps (a mage I think), won the shield. Gratz to him. The druid made a nasty remark. I defused the situation by making a light-hearted comment. We moved on.
What follows is a break-up of the dungeon loot rules that I follow in random instances. These are by no means the be-all, end-all of loot rules but they seem pretty solid to me. Feel free to add your own rules or correct mine if you feel they are bad.
Green items (BoE)
I always GREED green items or choose the DISENCHANT option (if available). I don't bother needing greens because I'm usually better equipped than that. The only exception is at low levels when I'm sporting crappy gear. Then, I will NEED if the item is an upgrade. I won't need greens for off-spec, regardless.
I won't raise a fuss if someone needs greens, unless they need every green that drops, which has happened on several occasions.
Blue items (BoP)
NEED if it's main spec and an upgrade.
GREED otherwise or DISENCHANT.
NEED for off-spec only if no one else needs it for their main spec and not before asking the rest of the group if it is ok to do so.
Blue items (BoE)
NEED if it's main spec and an upgrade.
GREED otherwise. I don't usually pick disenchant because 1) I can make more gold selling it on the AH and 2) if the need arises I can always DE it myself.
NEEDing for off-spec is a tricky situation here. I won't do it but I won't mind too much if others do.
Epic items (BoP)
NEED if it's main spec and an upgrade.
GREED otherwise. DISENCHANT only at high levels (i.e. heroics or such) where the crystals are actually worth more than the vendor price of the item.
NEEDing for off-spec only if no one else needs it for their main spec and not before asking the rest of the group if it is ok to do so.
Epic items (BoE)
NEED if it's main spec and an upgrade.
GREED otherwise.
NEEDing for off-spec is kind of a no-no for me and NEEDing for alts is a big NO. The reason why I frown on needing for off-spec is because BoE epics can be sold for some nice cash and anyone can benefit from that, regardless of class or spec.
As you can see, the main point of contention is the epic (purple) BoE item. If an epic BoE drops and there's no one who can use it for their main spec, there will always be someone who will try to claim it for their off-spec or another character. It is possible that they are 100% honest, that they really DO need it for their off-spec but how would the rest of us know and why should we care? The rest of us could use the cash from selling that epic just as well. Furthermore, why aren't they running with that off-spec if they like it so much? When something like this does happen, usually the group asks the person to equip the item and that will ensure that they didn't need it just for selling.
A good BoE epic example is the Battered Hilt, back in Wrath when it was easily worth a few thousand gold. Let me tell you something. Anyone is entitled to roll need on the hilt in a random group, regardless if they have completed the quest chain or not. For several thousand gold, all niceties are put aside and I certainly won't mind if someone else wins the roll, as long as we all have equal chances of winning.
A way to make sure no one ninjas a valuable BoE purple is to have everyone roll need on it. Usually this doesn't work, unless agreed upon from the beginning, because some people are quick to roll greed so the rules of ethics dictate that I too will roll greed. Thankfully, it seems that Blizzard is feeling our pain because they will implement a feature in one of the next patches in which whenever someone needs a BoE epic, it will bind to them. Greeding will leave it unbound.
And then there are the super polite people who will ask if they can need an item for their main spec, even when it's BoP. I appreciate that but there's no need (pun not intended) to ask for something that is an upgrade and you can really use.
The bottom line is that there are different kinds of people in WoW, as in real life. There are a few jerks who are either inconsiderate or like to inflict pain on others and then there's the rest of us. Myself, I believe that the cover of anonymity is no excuse for acting like a prick and for that reason I will try to conduct myself in game same as in real life: with honor, dignity and consideration for others.

I approve of this message. :)
Even with upgrades for my main spec, I still announce that I need it. "Ooooh, I could use that!" -NEED-
I also inspect people that need on stuff in dungeons, and call them on it. When our healer in Ramparts needed on a caster weapon, and I saw they already had the heirloom mace with spellpower. I mentioned it in party chat, and they were almost surprised that I would dare to question their needing on the item.
If you're just going to vendor it, I deserve the same chance for the gold too.

I've noticed that some people (but rarely) need BoP items even if it's not an upgrade. Why, since they can't transfer them to another character? My suspicion is that they vendor them because these days Cata dungeon blues are worth a nice amount, or it could be a simple miscalculation.
Myself I've been guilty a couple of times of needing something that I thought was an upgrade (no time to check during the run because everyone's like "gogogo") only to discover later that it wasn't.

I agree with your points and how you roll. (pun intended)
I do the same, EXCEPT, I wont "need" for offspec, ever. I am not saying that you are wrong for doing it, just that I don't. :D

Well, I think I must have rolled two or three times in all my WoW history for off-spec items but that's only if no one else wants the item and after I ask the group if it is ok for me to need it for off-spec.
I really appreciate when others do the same and I will always give them permission to need.

The Palace of Versailles is holding a temporary exhibition until March 17th, so what better excuse to visit this magical place? Especially since it's only a quick 40-minute train ride away from Paris. Versailles and Antiquity presents the relationship between the palace and Greek and Roman mythology and history, bringing together over 200 works of art.
This is not the most striking exhibition I've seen in Versailles compared to the ones dedicated to fashion and contemporary art. Perhaps my lack of knowledge in mythology didn't allow me to fully appreciate it. However, the sheer beauty of the works of art and the palace was enough to make the trip worth it (and on top of that the visit ended with lunch at Angelina).
Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty and pleasure
The antique sculpture Diana of Versailles was installed by Louis XIV in the Hall of Mirrors. It was then moved to the Louvre during the French Revolution and is back at the Palace for the first time since 1797.
This dramatic sculpture was originally placed at the top of a fountain in the gardens of the Palace. It depicts Latona with her children Diane and Apollo imploring help from their father Jupiter.
The great barometer of Louis XV and Louis XVI
How the visit ended. I could have made the trip to Versailles just for this hot chocolate.
To see more of my pictures of Versailles, you can read my post The Palace of Versailles: visiting a royal past and have a look at my Instagram pictures.
And to end on a completely unrelated note, I was recently featured on the blog City Girl in Red Lipstick, where I explain why I'm addicted to red lipstick. Bisous!

Big Food is failing the poor, Oxfam says
The Gunther Report
Big Food is failing the poor, Oxfam says
New research by Oxfam America into the social and environmental policies of the world's 10 biggest food and beverage companies puts Nestle, Unilever and Coca-Cola at the top of the list and Associated British Foods, Kellogg's and General Mills at the bottom. In the middle of the pack are Pepsico, Mars, Danone and Mondelez International (formerly Kraft).
Oxfam American said in a press release that the Big 10 food and beverage companies, which together make $1 billion a day, are "failing millions of people in developing countries who supply land, labor, water and commodities needed to make their products."
That stark accusation was tempered more than a little during a telephone news conference where Oxfam America launched a new global consumer-focused campaign called Behind the Brands.
Ray Offenheiser, the president of Oxfam America, described the big food companies as "recognized industry leaders." Jane Nelson, a senior fellow at Harvard who specializes in corporate responsibility, went further, saying these are among the "most responsible, best managed, well-governed companies" in the food sector.
So which is it, really? Are these companies industry leaders or are they failing the poor?
Maybe a little of both.
"There has been progress," Offenheiser said, "but there's a lot more work that companies have to do to."
Oxfam America, he explained, began looking at the brands after the global food crisis of 2008 to see what impact the big global food companies and the supply chains they manage are having on an estimated 440 million farmers who own 2 hectares or less of land, most of whom are poor. Most of those farmers are disconnected from global supply chains, and barely growing enough food to feed their own families. It's not so much that they are being exploited as being excluded from global commerce.
The Oxfam report puts it this way:
"For the past century the food and beverage industry has used cheap land and labor to produce the least expensive products possible — often of low nutritional value — while maximizing profits. Costs like the impact of drained water resources, rising greenhouse gas emissions, and exploitative working conditions have remained off company ledgers, while the industry and its shareholders have prospered."
The organization — which says it works "to right the wrongs of poverty, hunger, and injustice" — now would like the big food companies to bring more small-scale farmers into their supply chains, to protect them against "land and water grabs," drive down carbon emissions throughout their supply chains, to help empower women and to be more transparent about all they do.
"We want to challenge companies to engage in a race to the top, and we want to educate consumers about these supply chain issues," Offenheiser said. A well-designed, interactive website invites consumers to check out the performance of their favorite brands and communicate with the companies.
In a 52-page report released Tuesday, Oxfam rates the companies in seven categories: land, women, farmers, workers, climate, transparency and water. The report is tough — on a scale of 1 to 10, not a single company gets a rating of 8, 9, or 10 ("good') in a single category, and no companies get a passing grade across the board.
This seems overly harsh, given my knowledge about Unilever's work with small-scale farmers, Coca-Cola's leadership around protecting watersheds and Mars' climate targets. [See my 2012 blog post, "Why Mars is a sustainability leader."] Having said that, the relative positioning of the companies seems just about right to me. Unilever and Nestle clearly take a more expansive view of their role, for example, than do General Mills and Kellogg's.
The Behind the Brands campaign also makes useful distinctions between the companies and identifies key areas where they can improve. On climate, for example, it says:
All of the companies have taken steps to reduce direct emissions, but only five — Mondelez, Danone, Unilever, Coca-Cola and Mars — publicly report on agricultural emissions associated with their products. Unilever alone has committed to halve its greenhouse gas footprint by 2020.
It also says:
"All ten companies are overly secretive about their agricultural supply chains, making their claims of 'sustainability' and 'social responsibility' difficult to verify. Nestle and Unilever are most open about the countries they source from, but no company is providing enough information about their suppliers."
These kinds of comparisons — they're known in the NGO worlds as "rank 'em and spank 'em" — can have an impact. Their impact is magnified, if the activists can mobilize consumers to vote with their dollars, or at least through social media and emails to CEOs.
Oxfam America said its first campaign will focus on cocoa. The NGO will target Nestle, Mondelez (which owns Cadbury) and Mars, urging the companies to learn more about how women are treated in their supply chains, and work cooperatively to remedy any inequality they find.

Truckee ski racers bring home gold from Aspen/Snowmass
Last week several adult ski racers from Truckee turned in solid results at Snowmass, Colo., during the Far West Ski Week races.
Under great snow conditions and sunny skies Monday, six Truckee racers gave all they had in two grueling slalom runs from the Tahoe Donner Senior Alpine Ski Club and the Cabernet Ski Club. Under more sunny skies at Snowmass on Thursday, 11 local racers raced on a long giant slalom course, in which the fastest overall time was 1:22.65.
More than 150 racers participated in the races throughout the week.
Paulette McGregor finished third in the GS in 9 Vet Women; Nan Brown took first in both the slalom and GS in 9 Super Vet Women; Bob Ferwerda took second in the GS in 7 Super Vet Men; Nan Carnal took first in the slalom and fourth in the GS in 6 Super Vet Women; Donn Bryant swept the Legends class with first in both the slalom and GS; Robin Reese finished fourth in the GS in 5 Vet Women; Ron Kahn dominated his class in the GS with a first place; Nancy Ellis swept her class with two first places in slalom and GS in 4 Vet Women and received a strike to move closer to the next class; John McGregor took first in the GS in 3 Super Vet Men; and Bob Ellis took second place in both the slalom and GS in 0 Vet Men.
The Tahoe Donner Senior Alpine Ski Club also finished second in the Costume Division at the Council Challenge Race on Friday.
The Tahoe Donner Senior Alpine Ski Club and Cabernet Ski Clubs are both members of the Sierra Council, which won the Council Award for the week over the other 10 councils participating in racing.
The Far West Ski Week will be in Beaver Creek next January with about 500 expected participants.

Our day to day lives are full of appliances and objects that we rarely think about but are everyday essentials. simplehuman don't just recognise our need for these products, they see room for improvement at each turn and work tirelessly to solve simple yet often overlooked problems. Dedicated to designing and building tools for efficient living, their products are engineered to last and make daily tasks more efficient.
Founded by Frank Yang in 2000, the idea arose after the then student took an industrial design course whilst studying at UCLA. Falling in love with the concept of enhancing existing products already on the market, Frank searched for jobs at industrial design firms upon graduating.
After spending a few years working for a commercial product company, he branched out on his own and it is here that the simplehuman journey began. Taking a tired & dull rubbish bin as his first inspiration, he transformed it with the assistance of carefully selected industrial designers and the first simplehuman product was formed.
At its debut exhibition at the International Home & Housewares Show in Chicago, the bin was a success and gave the brand a unique selling point. In 2000, industrial design directed at the homeware industry was relatively unheard of with many designers channelling their talents into the car manufacturing industry.
By focusing this form of design into homeware items, simplehuman set themselves apart from the competition applying innovative and never before seen technology to everyday products, which saw the brand reach higher and higher levels of success.
Tools for efficient living
Working largely within the kitchen and bathroom areas of the home, simplehuman produce products that make the tasks and chores we carry out every day even simpler. Through a range of cutting edge features and additions, ordinary items are transformed into sleek design pieces for the home.
From open bins to state of the art sensor varieties, simplehuman have designed a range of waste disposal products which maintain the utmost hygiene standards at all times. Their designs mean your hands need never come into contact with the bin's surface whilst disposing of rubbish, and convenient bag hanging systems on the interior of each bin ensures removing full bags remain hygienic.
Pioneering sink drainers in the simplehuman range make the most of the drying space and ensure that water never collects on your countertop through a simple yet innovative spout at the base of each drainer. Kitchen roll holders and utensil pots have also had a simplehuman makeover, with kitchen roll holders including quick load and one sheet tearing mechanisms & utensil holders with detachable spoon rests.
A key design for the bathroom is simplehuman's range of soap dispensers which are sensor powered, making cross contamination from touching the soap pump with unwashed hands a thing of the past. Laundry storage is also made simpler with laundry baskets including compartments to separate whites and colours, along with heavy gauge steel bars meaning it won't buckle if filled to the brim.
Another essential item in simplehuman's bathroom collection is their range of sensor mirrors. Featuring sensors which automatically detect when a face approaches, these ingenious mirrors are rechargeable via USB meaning no messy cords are on show and the integrated LED lighting simulates natural sunlight to ensure your make-up is perfect from every angle.
Industry Awards
For such a pioneering company who offer a vast range of cutting edge items for the home, it is no surprise that this industry leader is also the recipient of many highly acclaimed awards in the design world. The brand's sensor items lead the way in awards with the Butterfly sensor bin the proud winner of the Red Dot design award, European Consumer Choice Award and the Housewares Innovation Award.
The sensor mirror was also awarded The Housewares Innovation award, whilst the sensor soap pump received the Housewares Executive Award. The long list of accolades demonstrates that simplehuman is at the forefront of the homeware design world & will remain there for decades to come.
With more reimaginings of everyday household objects released every year, soon all practical appliances will be given a simplehuman overhaul to make them more efficient, easier to use and more hygienic. Offering sleek style along with optimum functionality, any home can benefit from simplehuman's homeware essentials which make the dullest of chores a delight.

Ballymena United claimed three valuable league points as they saw off Carrick Rangers 4-1 at the Belfast Loughshore Hotel Arena.
Goals from Allan Jenkins, Cathair Friel, Jonny McMurray and Conor McCloskey sealed the win for the Sky Blues, while the home side's only goal came from Nathan Hanley.
After Saturday;s 4-3 defeat to Ards at the Showgrounds United boss David Jeffrey made four changes to his side with Alan Blayney, McCloskey, McMurray and Caolan Loughran all brought into the starting line-up.
Ballymena got off to the perfect start as they took the lead in the third minute through Jenkins.
The Scottish midfielder finishing from close range after a Tony Kane corner had caused all sorts of problems in the home defence.
It was a promising start from the Sky Blues who looked to be up for the battle.
It was 2-0 for the visitors in the 22nd minute as another Kane ball into the box was met perfectly by striker Friel and his glancing header gave Carrick keeper Simon Steele no chance.
It was 2-1 in the 30th minute and United manager Jeffrey will not be happy with this one after referee Raymond Crangle gave Carrick a free-kick inside the United box for keeper Blayney lifting a back pass.
But many in the ground thought the ball ended up in Blayney's hands after a sliding tackle from a United defender.
The home side did not care however after Hanley shot home after the initial free-kcik was blocked by the massed United defence.
Seven minutes later it was 3-1 to United through a wonder strike from McMurray.
The striker hammering the ball from 30 yards. A fantastic finish from the young forward.
It was United who had the first chance of the second half. Winger McCloskey raced clear but he tried to square the ball when he really should have shot and the chance was lost.
But winger McCloskey made up for that mistake in the 61st minute as the winger rifled a shot with his right foot past a weel beaten Steele in the Carrick goal.
The game then went quiet as United protected their advantage while Carrick seemed short of ideas on how to get themselves back in the encounter.
Carrick's Brian McCaul had a shot for the home side but his effort was off target.
Friel had another chance for United in the 88th minute but Steele did well to push the shot over the bar.
Carrick: Steele, Hanley, McNally, McCaul, McCullough, Clarke, Surgenor, McKeown, McNicholl, Murray, Salley.
Subs: Foster, Lavery, Kelly, Morrow, English.
Ballymena Utd: Blayney, Kane, Owens, Jenkins, McCloskey, Friel, Wallace, Ervin, Millar, McMurray, Loughran.
Subs: Thompson, Faulkner, Shevlin, Glendinning, McCaffrey.

Both the Jets head coach and the one-time franchise quarterback are forever linked. It was Sanchez who the Jets traded up to select No. 5 overall in the 2009 NFL Draft, essentially anointing him the franchise quarterback before a single NFL snap. And it was Ryan who put the system in place for Sanchez to be successful those first two years in the league, asking him to manage games and limit mistakes. The formula worked as the "Sanchise" led the Jets to consecutive AFC Championship Games behind a strong ground game.
That success is the polar opposite of the last two years where the Jets are 13-15 and Sanchez has started in every one of those games. The team has become more dependent on the passing offense and turnovers are up and time of possession is down. So will a quarterback who is stagnant at best and most likely has regressed as a player drag his head coach down with him?
"No, I don't feel that my future is tied in with how we do things. Obviously, this is a winning business and I know that. If you're a head coach in this league, as) Brian Billick told me the other day, 'There have been 111 head coaches that have come and gone over the last 10 years," so it's probably not the most (secure job) (smiling). The one thing I can do to affect my job security is by winning. Everybody wants that. It's what our fans want."
But as big of a piece to the pie as Sanchez's play is for Ryan's job security, running the ball is even bigger.
A good ground game means that not only does Sanchez not need to throw as much (and with 13 interceptions this year and four red zone interceptions that isn't a bad thing at all if Sanchez becomes a handoff machine) but that the throws he makes don't always have to be down the field. If the running back trio of Shonn Greene, Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight get going, then Sanchez can make safer, higher percentage throws to sustain drives. In other words, you're not asking Sanchez to step up and make plays, just play in the system.
All this means that running the ball like the Jets did those first two years under Ryan is once again the key to their success.
Consider that the Jets are 4-0 since last year when Greene tops 100 yards. Not surprisingly, Greene had 104 yards on Sunday in the Jets 7-6 win over the Cardinals.
"But to control a football game and to take pressure off of everybody, defense, special teams, running the football helps you do that," offensive coordinator Tony Sparano said. "In that game we were able to do it and in a lot of our wins we've been able to do it."

We will all, no doubt, succumb to the call of chocolate and other delicious naughtiness over the next few days. My favourite treats at the moment are Magnums minis, I can hear them calling me from the back of the supermarket as soon as I walk through the doors. In all my years of researching packaging for heat distressing the wrapping on these ice creams is the best so far. I just love the golden and brown tones that all merge together. If you buy mini ice creams you don't feel SO bad. The boxes are wrapped in a large sheet of gorgeous brown wrapping and then each ice cream is individually wrapped in more beautiful wrapping. Fantastic!
I am sure that most of you reading this will already be aware of these delights but just in case they have passed you by, I thought it my duty to share this with you.
Most food packaging can be textured with an iron just as you would Tyvek (see page 70, Hot Textiles). Place your packaging in between two sheets of baking parchment and iron LIGHTLY in a slow circular movement. You are stroking with the iron, not pressing.
Try cutting the packaging into strips and layer up different tones of gold and brown together. If you are lucky some of the strips will stick to each other. The great thing about this type of packaging is that is stays soft after it has been distressed so you can stitch into it by hand or machine. Nothing much happens with a heat gun so stick to using the iron.
Try thick strips, thin strips, adding Tyvek, other packaging, cellophane . . . . .
All this can be stitched onto a background of dyed craft Vilene or background of your choice.
You could also iron strips onto painted Bondaweb but you would sacrifice some of the texture of the packaging. Just have fun with it and see what happens.
I wish you all a very Happy Christmas wherever you are and a very Happy, Peaceful and Creative New Year.

UK Populace waking up to the population controls of vaccines
Number of pensioners taking free flu jab falling
Professor Nick Phin from the Health Protection Agency "It is grown in hens' eggs and this year's strain took longer to grow"
3 November 2012 Last updated at 04:01
Many potential flu victims have not been vaccinated despite winter approaching, according to new figures.
The number of over 65 year olds who have been vaccinated has fallen since last year, as has the the number of younger "at risk" patients.
As of last week, only 48.9% of over 65s had been given the jab, compared with 54.8% in the same period of 2011.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "As winter approaches, we should all be on our guard against health problems."
The Department of Health (DoH) says around 4,700 people die every year in England, after getting flu.
People in at-risk groups – such as pregnant women – are 11 times more likely to die than someone who is not in an at-risk group.
The DoH has therefore launched a campaign to encourage at-risk groups to get vaccinated and a new website, called Winterwatch, will be launched later this month to provide winter-related health data.
Public Health Minister Anna Soubry said: "We have taken the decision this year to run a flu campaign because too many people in at-risk groups have not come forward for the jab yet, although local campaigns have been running for the past month.
'£42m cost'
"Our campaign aims to encourage people who are most at risk from flu, who have put it off or who don't think it is important, to get the vaccine."
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "Each year the cold weather is responsible for an increase in deaths and thousands of cases of flu, falls, heart attacks and strokes.
"In past years, these extra pressures have cost the NHS £42m in emergency admissions alone.
"As winter approaches, we should all be on our guard against health problems – by taking simple steps and looking after our older friends and family we can keep warm and well."
Flu is generally just means taking time off work for most people but certain at-risk groups are prone to developing potentially fatal complications, such as bronchitis and pneumonia.
One upward trend is in the number of pregnant women receiving the flu jab this year – around 25%, compared to 13.6% by this week in 2011.
Louise Silverton, director for midwifery for the Royal College of Midwives, said: "Women must also be aware of the importance of having the seasonal flu vaccination as soon as they become pregnant.
"If any pregnant woman is unsure about this, I would urge them to speak to their midwife or doctor to discuss the issue.
"For women after their 28th week of pregnancy, they should ask for the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccination when they visit the GP."

"Waste of Money"
First bale fit snuggly. Rained one day, bale was under a cover, edges of hay got wet. Second bale was a struggle, zipper broke on both ends.
"Great quality!!"
Great quality bag!!! Very roomy!!! It arrived within 5 days of my order placement. I was really impressed with the quality of the hay bag. It is very thick and well constructed. Handles make carrying easier to me than having to pack a bale with the wire, wire won't be cutting into my hands anymore. I plan to use these bags every time I go to get hay as I do not have a truck I have a minivan and this will keep it very clean. I wish I would have ordered these a long time ago.
"Excellent idea!"
Absolutely love this bag. It's heavy duty, seems to be water-proof and well made. Extremely easy to get an entire bale into the bag and has saved us money on the way home from a horse show with half a bale left in the back of the truck ;) Handles on the top and sides makes it easy to handle and throw into the back of the truck.
