Heart of the Swarm is listed right no at $39.99 (USD) to preorder on Amazon; and it's listed as $59.99 elsewhere.
I imagine Activision/Blizzard is going to view this as a "full" release as far as pricing goes so I suspect Amazon will fix this before long. While they will sometimes back out of their pre-order price guarantee, it would probably be a good idea to preorder at amazon anyway now, in case it does save the price, and it goes up to with it will probably be at $50 or $60. If it goes up, even if you preordered it, amazon doesn't charge to preorder and you can always just cancel it later.

The Haunted Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas
The Driskill Hotel in located on the corner of 6th and Brazos Streets in downtown Austin, Texas. "Colonel" Jesse Lincoln Driskill, a Missouri-born cattle baron made his fortune from providing beef to the Confederacy during the Civil War. He built the hotel in 1886 at a cost of about $400,000 which was a huge sum of money to spend on a hotel. Unfortunately, he built it a bit too upscale for the area at the time. He then lost it in a poker game shortly thereafter.
The hotel was built in the Richardsonian Romanesque style with arched windows, spacious balconies and exceptional ornamentation. The hotel has a beautiful corner entrance with large floor-to-ceiling arched doorways.
The Driskill Ghosts
The ghosts said to haunt the Driskill include Jesse Driskill, a small child, Mrs. Bridges, Peter J. Lawless, two brides who died tragically, and a few others.
Jesse Driskill is said to be fond of smoking his cigars in guests' rooms and playing with their bathroom lights.
The small child is the 4 year old daughter of a U.S. Senator who was playing with a ball near the grand staircase and tripped and fell down the stairs to her death. Her giggles and the bouncing ball are said to be heard on the staircase. There are also cold spots reported on this stairway.
Mrs. Bridges is a former front desk employee from the early 1900s. Even though she didn't die at the hotel, she still visits the area where the front desk used to be. She is clothed in Victorian dress and seems to be fussing with the flower arrangements where they used to sit. She is seen only at night and usually accompanied by the smell of roses.
Peter J. Lawless lived in the Driskill hotel from 1886 to 1916. His occupation was selling tickets for the railroad. He even stayed at the hotel during periods when it was closed. He is usually spotted on the 5th floor near the elevators. When the elevator doors open, he checks his pocket watch. Housekeeping reports having trouble keeping room 419 tidy. Often after vacuuming, they find footsteps across the carpet, the bed covers ruffled, dresser drawers opened and report the feeling of being watched or followed.
Tragic Bride #1 is the most active ghost at the Driskill. She was a bride who was supposed to be married at the Driskill, but her future husband called it off the night before. She hung herself in her room. She is usually seen on the fourth floor walking the hallways in her wedding gown. I found this part interesting. She is most often spotted by guests who are at the Driskill to attend a wedding or bachelorette party. It is considered good luck for brides to see the ghost before their weddings.
Tragic Bride #2 is a great story that I'll let the hotel narrator in the video below tell you. He has a great way of telling a story.
Hotel elevators randomly go up and down with no one on them and no one operating them. Guests have reported being pushed out of bed. Other guests have reported their furniture being moved during the night.
Singer Annie Lennox, while staying at the Driskill on a concert tour, laid out two dresses on her bed prior to an appearance. After her shower she found one of the dresses put away. Johnette Napolitano, the lead singer of alternative rock group Concrete Blonde wrote a song about the experience called "Ghost of a Texas Ladies Man".
Hotel staff have reported hearing noisy guests on elevators and corridors only to find no one there, lights being switched on and off, water running in the sink or tub, and doors opening and closing. A gentleman wearing a tuxedo is often see walking through doors with only the scent of cigar smoke left behind.

Your Guide to Haunted Travel in the United States
It's funny but I have stayed there several times and had not heard of the ghost until now. Great Hub.
I'm doing research on the haunted driskill hotel, hoping someone can guide me to a site?
Neat hub!
Some of the old 19th century courthouses of Texas are Richardson Romanesque. Thanks for this interesting hub. I very much enjoyed reading it.
my husband and i stayed at the driskill back in nov 2010 for two nights just for the heck of it and because we love the paranormal. well as it turns out the paranormal loves us too. we had some odd paranormal experiences. we stayed two doors down from the room where one of the brides killed herself.now neither my husband or i are prone to getting vertigo but walking down that hall way to the elevator we both got the strangest feelings of kind floating up and then being jerked down.we both felt it but didn't say anything to the each other until we got home. i had not felt that sensation before nor have i felt it since the visit.
also the jacuzzi that was in the room messed with us, shutting off at random times while in use. and we got a couple pictures with some nice orbs in them.
all in all it was a great weekend that we hope to repeat soon. oh and if you ever get to go try their artichoke poppers from their cafe they are awesome.
I love visiting haunted places and love reading this. Thanks for sharing such great information.
Have bookmarked this for tonight for simply haunted fun! Thank you!
I like this hub. I am always fascinated by paranormal stuff. I have not witnessed anything, but I know paranormal activity occurs.
Oh I enjoyed this soo much KCC, I do love a good spook story. Thanks for sharing this with us. x
I love the part where the narrator says that "maybe folks like Texas better than heaven". How true. I'm with you, I live in Leander and think I would like to stay at the Driskoll, but those suites are for cattle barons! Whoa!
KCC-great hub! I write for The Examiner as their Austin Museums Writer and am planning an article on the Driskill myself for it's historical contribution to the city of Austin. Can I link your article?
KCC, I live in "Old Louisville" Ky, third largest preservation area in the country. We have seven major kinds of architecture here and one of them is Richardsonian Romanesque. These old mansions are amazing and beautiful, made of heavy stone work, etc.
I really enjoyed this hub, partly because I've spent a lot of time in Austin and visited this hotel, and also because, although I'm not big on ghosts, your stories were facinating. Thanks for an enjoyable read.
Fascinating! I didn't know there was a "Richardsonian Romanesque style"! OOh and ghost stories! Cool hub!

A Manifesto of Mercy for Goodness Sake for Meal-Making Moms Everywhere
Freaking.Blessed.Facebook and Blogworld. Oh, how I love you and hate you all at once. In my almost sixteen years of Momness, Mom Guilt has been mostly a stranger to me. That is, until YOU happened, darn Zuckerbergermeister and your Bulletin Board of Braggy, Boasty Balogna Sandwiches. Never had I been tempted to feel ashamed because I SUCK at cooking, until YOU happened. Never had I felt even slightly embarrassed by the contents of my pantry until YOU came into my life. Never did I care what I did (or didn't) prepare for dinner until YOU invented some stupid, dumbhead NEWSFEED so that all of my friends could perpetually post fantastical photos of their magically delicious and healthily stupendous meals, personally prepared and whipped up in an afternoon of sheer delight—all whilst the younger children frolicked and played underfoot and the older ones gathered fresh greens from the garden or fetched fresh milk from the freaking farm cow's udders. Oh, Freaking Facebook. Without you, I never would have known that in the realm of Mommy Meal-Making Momness, I rank lower than aquarium scum-suckers when it comes to feeding my precious little
scavengers children.
Now mind you, I've never been one to care much what someone thinks of me, so this maternal inferiority is a bit of a new feeling. I absolutely hate it when moms are hard on themselves or compare themselves to others, because HELLO YOU'RE A MOM and that in and of itself is SOMETHING TO FEEL ACCOMPLISHED ABOUT! {No, really. Whether you popped a baby out from your uterus—no lie, I just asked my husband if I could say hoo-ha—or had a child delivered up via adoption, you're freaking a PARENT and that is an honorable achievement in and of itself.} But then Monday Mealtime happened and THIS post mocked me in my Facebook newsfeed. And thus, this Confession and Manifesto. I can resist no longer!
I know. I know. Half of you are running to your pantries and gardens to prepare your own version of salmon/cabbage/kale what-not already. You're all, "Oh, my Organic Goodness! Why, we haven't had fresh kale since, like, lunch yesterday! How perfectly splendid!" We'll call you Group A. Or even Group A+ (because surely you're grading yourself here, right?). But nana nana boo boo and la-dee-dah, because I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU, GROUP A-ers!
I'm talking to the other half of you people. You know, those moms (and dads) who are totally beneath you Group A Groupies on the Totem Pole of Food Talent. We shall call
you us Group B. And WHEN IT COMES TO MEAL-MAKING, I am the self-designated Homecoming Queen of Group B, and I wear my tiara proudly. You know us. We're the ones who are all, "Uh, like, is that photo, like, for real? Because I barely know what some of those ingredients are, much less would ever buy them, grow them, and PREPARE THEM FOR MY LITTLE PEOPLE!" Psha. Yeah. It's for real. But it's totally not MY for real.
Because MY pantry? Well, MY pantry is a mockery to the Whole Foods mommas, the organically growing hippy hipsters, the "Oh my GOODNESS you do know that McDonald's chicken nuggets aren't actually CHICKEN, don't you? Like, haven't you seen the pink ooze?" elites among us. MY pantry sucks when it comes to wholesome, fresh, and nutritious. Because MY pantry, well, it looks a little bit like this:
It might not be the greenest. It might not taste the best. But it's the food I feed my kids, and I love them nonetheless! I hear about real food this and real food that, but Dear Ladies and Gents of the Organic Kingdom, this is my real food. I mean, if I'm keepin' it real and all. I may eat fake food and feed my kids the artificial same, but I can't be fake about it. This is all up real for me.
So here, Fellow Unimpressive People of the Internets, this is my Confession of Not Caring About My Crappy Cooking and my Manifesto of Real Meals by Real Moms.
POWER TO THE RAMEN MOMMAS at last!
Power to you moms who feed your little fellas fried frozen fish sticks on Fridays! Because seafood should be a staple, right? And unless your child is Koda the Bear fetching fish from the Salmon Run up the river, Frozen Fish Sticks will do just fine, thank you very much.
Power to you parents who consider it perfectly practical to prepare pizza from a box and call it homemade cooking! Because you cooked it yourself…at home. Well done, you! And you know they say that meals served at home are the key to family togetherness. You are SUCH a together, family person!
Power to you dads who can't grill worth a cow's butt but are secure in your manhood nonetheless! Because who cares if you've never cooked a steak in your backyard? You make fatherhood look easy and effortless and totally fun, even if it doesn't involve propane and fire and fancy lines on your grilled weenies.
Power to you mommas who gorge on gluten like it's going out of style. (Oh, wait…It totally is!) Just call yourselves retro, because that's totally in anyway, and think of it as hanging on to a classic. Gluten. So vintage.
Power to you parents who know the drive-thru workers by first name because it's survival food at least once a week! At LEAST. And by only letting your kids order from the Dollar Menu, you're totally rocking that family food budget. Congratulations!
Power to you mommas who still make your kids' birthday cakes from a box of sweet Mrs. Crocker's cake mix and douse the store-bought icing with artificial food coloring. Because a happy birthday for you is not an organic cake from scratch or all-natural beet-dyed icing.
Power to you mommas whose kids live on Ramen. Because if you add a can of corn or a frozen pack of peas, it's half of a wholesome meal anyway. And half of anything can be rounded up to a whole, so yay for a whole meal of Ramen! Ramen forever!
Power to you parents who have never made a smoothie—green or not—in your very own kitchen. Power to you moms who toss a school lunch together when your kid is running out the front door. Power to the parents who scrape from the pantry just to throw something half-edible on the table. Power to the mommas who are just doing your darned best to get by. Power to the moms who consider your "duties" in the kitchen a God-awful, dreaded chore and definitely not a hobby. Power to those whose love can neither be limited nor defined by the food that you serve to your family.
Because, you all, in ALL SERIOUSNESS, since when did the FOOD we make, the WAY we cook, the degree of our all-natural organic-grocery-ness define what kind of MOMS we are? Since when did we measure a mother's love for her kids by how many trips she takes to the Farmer's Market? Since when did we feel inferior or less than another because so-and-so would never feed that to her kids? Since when? Since Facebook. Since Pinterest. Since social media schmuckiness.
I suppose if our mothers and grandmothers had posted signs in their front yards every evening announcing to the world what they were preparing for dinner, then our moms and their moms would have felt inferior, too. I suppose that as they drove by everyone else's homes they would have felt like they sucked, too. I suppose that if they saw that Ann was making homemade, homegrown potato soup, and Susan was serving up dumplings from scratch, and Shirley was shucking ears of corn from her backyard garden wonderland, they'd feel like the Crappiest Meal-Making Mom of the Year as well. But lucky for them, they had no such public displays.
So I say to us (un?)-fortunate Modern Mommas, no more! TO KALE WITH IT!
Feed your kid the best you can and pat yourself on the back because you did. Buy the food you can afford and say what the heck to what you can't. Drive through those drive-thrus when necessity demands it, and be happy the Dollar Menu is somewhat delicious. Don't measure your own motherly goodness by how you feed your kids, whether you're a goddess of Group A who would die before eating non-organic anything, or a Group B Queen who never checks a label.
To those who outshine me in the kitchen, I bow to you in admiration. I will never do what you do. But I don't need to be you to remind myself that I'm a darned good mom, even if my kids had $1.50 hot dog combos at Costco for dinner. And I will never again scroll my Facebook newsfeed, spy your homemade spinach-topped lots-of-things-I've-never-heard-of, and think myself inferior. We all love our kids. We all do our best. And we all have our own ways to show it.
Power to the Ramen Mommas after all!

Jun 16, 2017
E3 2017 has come and gone, and with it we have been left somehow with more questions than previous years: What does the future of multiplatform look like? When is Kingdom Hearts 3 releasing? Who greenlit that EA Play event? Why does Sony insist on focusing on a bored crowd, versus the actual games they're displaying? No, Seriously, when is Kingdom Hearts 3 going to relase? These are the questions we intended on asking this week, or among the ones at least. That was until some last minute illnesses and appointments laid out half of our team, as well stable of guest hosts.
So instead, you're getting two parts to our E3 2017 coverage. Next week will be the originally planned "Bring Your Own Topic (BYOT)" show, while this week...this week is something entirely different.
At Constantly Calibrating we have an issue with keeping up with traditions; this goes doubly so for our own. Every year we mold, redistribute, and change the very nature of how we work. It's not really a planned thing in our nature, but the cost of spending five years trying to figure out our place. As such, traditions become challenging to keep.
That is until now, as we're bringing back the 2016 "Looks Pretty" Awards and pushing them forward into E3 2017. The Looks Pretties is our version of a "most anticipated" event. They're virtual (soon physical) awards we give for games that simply look awesome, neat, or yes, pretty. They're the games that E3 or other events left us with a strong desire for, but may honestly even fade before the next event. It's a shifting, swirling world of desires and interests, that even two days after recording we may not entirely agree with. It's about being in the moment, and in the moment, we have our award show.
Let us know what you think deserves your own Looks Pretty Award, and even feel free to tell us off if we somehow got it wrong.

If you've ever been to Lollapalooza, then you know that nothing ever goes according to plan, but you can at least start out with good intentions with Tuesday's official release of the performance schedule.
Laura Doherty gets the distinction of officially kicking off the festival on August 3rd at 11:30 a.m. on the Kidz Stage, and a Childish Gambino, Justice, Jack White and Kaskade shut things down on August 5th.
In between, there'll be plenty of other choices to make, especially given the difficulty of covering a lot of ground in Grant Park during the crowded festival. Florence + The Machine or At The Drive-In on Sunday evening? Alabama Shakes, The Temper Trap or even B.o.B. late Saturday afternoon? Frank Ocean or Santigold on Saturday evening?
You have a couple of months to figure it all out. Getting tickets, if you haven't already, is another matter. Single-day and three-day passes are completely sold out.
The only remaining tickets are travel packages that include hotel rooms.

25 years of progress: a personal retrospective
By JOHN DUNKLEY
This material was presented at the 27th Biennial Conference of the Australian Speleological Federation Inc. at Sale, Victoria 4—9 January 2009 and is included in the proceedings, which are currently being produced as a DVD.
Twenty-four years ago I presented a paper at the ASF Conference in Hobart on the potential for speleological exploration in Thailand.
While there have been more than 60 publications deriving from the ensuing Thailand expeditions, this is the first overview of the whole project other than for a nostalgic record printed privately in 1999 for expedition participants only. This is a summary of a more comprehensive account of the Project published in Caves Australia in 2009 with a complete bibliography.
Not that we were first on the scene. Many caves in Thailand have been known to the local community for more than a thousand years, and monks explored deep within caves such as Tham Tab Tao north of Chiang Mai, but until very recently there was little indigenous interest in systematic documentation of caves and karst.
As late as 1982, the efforts of Austrian caver Heinrich Kusch, who had travelled widely in Thailand, resulted in a list of only 94 recorded caves.
By 1997, when I produced The Caves of Thailand, there were 2000. We now know of about 4000, still a fraction of the potential.

David Lee Roth talks about postponing the Van Halen Tour
First of all, Van Halen are getting along very well, is hard to believe on any Rolling Stone article you read these days. Claiming that the band "hate each other" and that they were "arguing like mad" is just another non-sense rumor made up by the magazine.
The 30+ shows of the second leg on the tour were not canceled, they were just simply postponed and they will announce later when are the new dates comming up. if you got your Van Halen ticket, and were part of the unfortunate ones that were whining about it, make sure to hold on that ticket. Van Halen is going to perform for you.
The reasons for postponing those dates are due to exhaustion of the members. They are not kids anymore, (well, Wolfie is a still a kid) and they have been working on "A Different Kind of Truth" Album, shooting the "Tattoo" video, and non-stopping touring. they deserve the break.
Here is the video were David Lee Roth talks about postponing the tour.

Of all the symbols within the book, the Tuskegee Institute has one of the most dramatically double-sided legacies. On one hand, Tuskegee was the site of the cell-production factory where a staff of black, female technicians produced HeLa in order to help cure polio. This represented a huge and public step forward for African Americans and women, as these technicians became an integral part of one of the most celebrated medical advances of the 21st century. Yet at the same time, Tuskegee was also the home of the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiments, one of the most infamously racist studies in American history, in which hundreds of black men were allowed to suffer and die from syphilis in the name of science. Thus Tuskegee represents on one hand the ways in which the medical establishment can aid underrepresented groups such as minorities and women, and on the other emblemizes the extent to which doctors victimized these same groups.
Tuskegee Institute Quotes in The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Black scientists and technicians, many of them women, used cells from a black woman to help save the lives of millions of Americans, most of them white. And they did so on the same campus—and at the very same time—that state officials were conducting the infamous Tuskegee syphilis studies…

Unfortunately, a majority of dog food brands in the market today are loaded with unhealthy preservatives and artificial flavoring.
Feeding your dog an unhealthy diet can cause numerous problems in the long run including obesity, diabetes, food allergies, etc. It is thus advised you take special care in choosing a good food brand for your dog.
Health conscious pet owners will be pleased to know that there are plenty of organic dog food options in the market today.
The word Organic is so commonly used that it has become a buzzword in the food and health sector. Several brands label their food as organic to outsell its competition.
Organic Dog foods are healthier options that will help your dog feel more energized and active throughout the day. They taste much better than other food options in the market and have a nutrient dense profile, much better than regular dry foods in the market.
Some benefits of organic dog foods include:
Dogs who suffer from skin allergies and problems are likely to benefit the most from organic food. There are several hypoallergenic organic dog food brands in the market. These foods feature single protein source, which eliminates the chances of allergies. Food manufacturers also use natural and unprocessed ingredients to product quality products.
This results in a better national profile while eliminating toxic ingredients from your dog's diet. Within a few weeks, you will notice clear signs of improvement in your dog's behavior such as less breakouts and itching.
Organic dog foods only utilize healthy and natural ingredients; this automatically helps exclude harmful fillers and junk food from your dog's diet, resulting in better digestion. Dogs that consume organic foods hardly have issues such as diarrhea, flatulence and bloating.
Being overweight or obese can cause a number of problems for your pet. Obesity can lead to health problems such as organ failure, arthritis and diabetes. Fortunately, organic dog food options have a higher nutritional value and contain less fillers than commercial dog food brands in the market.
This makes organic food more satisfying and fulfilling than other dog foods in the market since it does not contain empty calories can poor quality ingredients.
Inadequate nutrition and exposure to additives, artificial chemicals and toxins present in dog foods can cause a number of illnesses. Artificial chemicals and unhealthy sources of proteins can cause dangerous problems such as diabetes, cancer and heart problems. Other minor symptoms that you should be wary of include skin infections, vomiting, diarrhea and non-cancerous tumors.
Similar to humans, whatever a dog eats directly has an impact on how he looks and feels. By feeding your dog an organic diet, you ensure he lives a long and healthy life. A quality diet results in increased levels of energy, a luxurious coat and a strong immune system that maximizes your dog's life expectancy. All this combined with good care improves your dog's overall lifestyle.
The word 'Organic' is now being plastered on several dog food products as a marketing gimmick, which is why you need to pay close attention to what you are feeding your dog. Always check the food labels before you invest in a product. Stay clear of anything that is unnatural or artificial. Here are a couple of factors you should keep in mind before investing in organic dog food:
Growing puppies have to be kept well-fed with the best dog food for puppies in order to fulfill the daily recommended nutritional requirements for healthy development. Puppy food is specially formulated to meet their nutritional requirements.
Feeding your puppy adult food can rob him of important vitamins and nutrients he needs for to say strong and active. At 6 to 12 weeks, puppies should be fed four feedings of non-moistened food every day.
Due to better quality of nutrition, organic dog foods are priced heavily in online stores and grocery shops. Understand that quality products do cost more because of the high-grade ingredients used. Be prepared to spend more however, survey the market for different brands.
There are countless affordable organic dog food brands in the market. Look out for promotional offers and discounts that can help you save money. While quality food will reduce your pet's trips to the vet, you do not want to end up spending a fortune on dog food.
Feeding your dog a diet filled with artificial flavors and food colorings is definitely not organic! Most artificial flavors, sweeteners and preservatives are known carcinogens.
Make sure you read the label clearly and avoid dog foods that contain BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin and Propylgallate. Instead look for organic dry and canned dog food options that contain natural preservatives like vitamins C and E.
If canned dog food or dry food label clearly states "meat by-products" and doesn't specify the type of meat or the specific part of meat used, you need to walk away from the product ASAP. Remember that unspecified meat by products can include parts of feet, beak, feathers and even hair and tumors which are anything but healthy for your pet dog.
On the other hand, offal meats such as spleen or other organ meat can be healthy and nutritious, but it's good to avoid them as well. The whole point of feeding your dog an organic diet is to ensure they get maximum amount of nutrition, and that means eliminating unhealthy ingredients.
A single protein source diet also known as Limited Ingredient's Diets (LID) can effectively help dogs who suffer from food related allergies. If your dog has a sensitive stomach or suffers from food allergies, it is worth the trouble to look for LID organic dog food.
A LID restricts the amounts of ingredients being consumed by your dog; this minimizes the risks of allergies, allowing your dog to live a healthier lifestyle.
Canines are omnivores and have little digestive support for metabolizing complex carbohydrates and plants. However, most dogs find it difficult to digest fibers and grains. These particles usually remain undigested and rely on fermentation to break them down.
Over a long period of time, excessive use of grains can damage the lining of your dog's digestive system, resulting in food allergies and sensitivities. This is why more and more pet owners are opting for organic grain free foods. Be on the lookout out from grain free options as it will minimize allergy reactions in dogs.
When investing in organic dog food, you can choose between dry and canned options:
Canned Foods: Canned foods contain a higher concentration of moisture, which is appreciated by dogs during the summers. Feeding canned formula not only provides the much needed hydration, but it can also be used to help the dig reach its ideal body weight. That's right. Canned foods contain higher quality protein and essential fatty contents, which are beneficial for thin dogs as well as pets with dry skin and coat.
Dry Dog Foods: Dry dog foods are the most convenient food options since they can be stored and fed easily. Pet owners who have a busy schedule can leave out food in their dog's food bowl without worrying about spoilage. Dry dog foods have a longer shelf life and can thus be bought in bulk amounts.
Many dog owners like the convenience of filling their pet's food bowl and leaving it out for the entire day. Additionally, dry organic foods are easier to store. They are less likely to contaminate bacteria unlike canned foods that provide a breeding ground for all kinds of microorganisms.
There are a number of food allergens that pet owners should be wary of. Some common food allergens include:
Soy should be avoided at all costs because it can mess up your pet's endocrine system. Corn on the other hand is a cheap filler ingredient and doesn't offer much nutritional value. What's worse is that corn is a well-known allergy causing ingredient and it can put your canine friend's health at stake.
If you are unsure of your dog's allergies, take him to the vet or perform an elimination diet test. An elimination diet is when you slowly eliminate ingredients from your dog's diet until you find out what is bothering him. Some common symptoms of food allergies include diarrhea, vomiting, excessive gas, etc.
If you are in search of quality organic dog food in the market, it is advised you purchase the following products. We have compiled a list of some of the best organic products in the market.

SI Swimsuit Issue 2009: No Marisa??Posted by: The Pinupmeister
Well, the good news is that the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is available on newsstands as we speak. That bad news is that Marisa Miller isn't one of the featured models.
No disrespect to the lovely ladies who are featured in SI Swimsuit 2009, it's just that Marisa Miller happens to be my all-time favorite SI Swimsuit model. IMO, she's an 11 and you can't have a "real" SI Swimsuit Issue without her. Then, again, nobody called and asked my opinion.
I'm happy to report that the 2009 issue isn't completely Marisa-less. Harley-Davidson features her in their ad and offers a free 16-month calendar of Marisa digging the new V-Rod Muscle bike.
Anyway, enough of my carping. As usual, the SI Swimsuit crew has put together an amazing collection of photos of gorgeous women in exotic settings. The reason I continue to buy the SI Swimsuit Issue every year is that it's the gold standard for swimsuit photography. I've checked out some of the wannabes and there's just something about SI's offering that makes the others look like amateurs.
Obviously, the models have a lot to do with it, but the models in the other mags are hot, too. I believe the difference is the photographers. The SI photographers are the best in the world, in my opinion, at making beautiful women look spectacular.
Now, if they could just find a way to get the magazine to open flat and not hide significant parts of some photos in the crease!

September brings the start of fall, and with fall comes the opportunity for a fall garden!
In the past my gardening stamina has worn a little thin in the fall after I've spent summers battling caterpillars, flea beetles, and bacterial wilt. This season has marked an improvement in my garden – there were still some struggles, but my real raised beds have led to healthier plants, larger yields, and more ability to rotate plants. Container gardening was tough, but now I really appreciate how great it is to have raised beds!
This month I've started to transition my space into fall planting. I'm starting cooler weather greens and herbs, as well as some root vegetables. I'm also planning to expand the garden to a larger size when the weather cools down! Over the winter I'll add compost and a cover crop to prepare for spring.
- Long beans
- Chile peppers
- Basil
- Tomatillos
- Acorn squash
- Cantaloupe
- Okra
- Herbs and flowers
- Radishes
- Carrots
- Beets
- Peas shoots
- Divided large plants and repotted/transplanted sage, oregano, mint, and marjoram
Seeds started:
- Kale
- Arugula
- Sage
- Spinach
- Cilantro
- Dill
- Chervil
To Do List:
- Sow more beets and radishes
- Add rooting agent to fig cuttings
- Expand garden footprint
- Mend rodent fence
- On temperature change, take out okra, eggplant, long beans
- Dry long beans for next year
- Repot sunchokes into garden

ITIL v3 contributor reflects on IT's changing focus
In a discussion of the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL), author of ITIL v3 David Cannnon explains how ITIL and IT service management have transformed the role of IT.
The third version of the IT Infrastructure Library – better known as ITIL v3 – recently celebrated its one-year anniversary. For the uninitiated, ITIL offers IT shops a standard framework of best practices for handling day-to-day operations and processes such as incident management, problem management and service desk. Periodically, ITIL is updated to reflect the current trends among IT shops; the updates to ITIL v3 reflect the current trend of taking a lifecycle approach to IT services – from requirements gathering and development to deployment, maintenance and, eventually, retirement.
Recently, we sat down with David Cannon, author of the Service Operation book in the ITIL v3 library. When he's not drafting ITIL books, Cannon serves as the service management practice manager at HP and as the president of the U.S. chapter of the IT Service Management Forum (ITSMF), an independent member-focused association dedicated to promoting best practices in IT service management.Has v3 proved popular among ITIL practitioners?
David Cannon: While I don't have numbers regarding ITIL v3 adoption, there is a tremendous amount of interest in it. I'm hearing this anecdotally through my involvement with the ITSMF as well as from HP customers. What kind of organizations have adopted ITIL v3?
Cannon: ITIL is effective at both small companies and large companies, though for different reasons. Small companies use ITIL to define different roles an IT person may have to play in the context of IT service management. Large companies use ITIL to get disparate groups communicating – speaking the same language, if you will. Drivers are different too; for big companies, it's compliance such as SOX [Sarbanes-Oxley], ISO [International Organization for Standardization], etc. Small companies want to use ITIL to increase their competitiveness and improve their processes. What are the biggest differences between ITIL v2 and v3?
Cannon: One of the biggest changes in v3 is that there's more executive visibility in terms of ROI. In v2, typical ROI goals were around things like saving money and minimizing or preventing downtime. Those two ROI goals have a negative connotation. Saving money means that IT had been overspending for the past 10 years; and the idea of preventing downtime means that IT supports the business by preventing things from going bad. In v3, ROI is defined as contributions to the business strategy; yes, the goal is certainly to optimize costs, but also to help grow the business. Yes, IT wants to avoid failures, but IT also wants to expand functionality as well. How is IT affected by this shift to a more business focus?
Cannon: The IT staffs at organizations that adopt ITIL v3 are less focused on technology; they are more focused on the business and the business outcomes, and linking those back to the technology. There will always be a layer of technology managers whose main focus is technical, but the number of those people overall will decrease. Is ITIL v3 the only reason for this shift to a business focus?
Cannon: No. Data center consolidation and virtualization are also changing the roles of technical people. Managing workloads effectively and ensuring the delivery of services require more than technical skills. Data center people need to be able to analyze business patterns and tune systems – they need the ability to manage workloads and not individual devices. Increasingly, IT is providing services to end users and also directly to end customers.

Here's what the Rio Grande, Continental Divide Elevation 4,585 feet, Interstate 10, and New Mexico really have in common - Mountain Matron

Here's what the Rio Grande, Continental Divide - Elevation 4,585, Interstate 10, and New Mexico really have in common - Mountain Matron
The Rio Grande flows through three U.S states eventually creating a border between Texas and four states of Mexico in an astounding length of 1,900 miles. Those statistics rank it among the top 5 longest rivers in North America. The Rio Grande starts in the snow-filled San Juan Mountains of Colorado continuing generally south through New Mexico along the border of Texas and parallel states of Mexico eventually funnelling its way into the Gulf of Mexico. The river has an expansive entirety of 336,000 square miles, yet because of the arid nature of much of its lower region only half of its existence contributes to the river's flow.
There had been long-time controversial border disputes of ownership between the U.S and Mexico because of the river's shifts in flow at the Texas and Mexico junction. In 1968 Texas ends the 114-year argument by diverting the water to a 190-mile concrete channel below what is now Big Bend National Park retaining U.S protection as Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River.
- In 1828, after the abolishment of slavery in Mexico, slaves from Texas would cross the Rio Grande to seek freedom
- In the 1800's more than 200 steamboats used the Rio Grande as a transportation route between Brownsville and Rio Grande City.
- The Rio Grande has been placed on the Most Endangered Rivers list 6 times between the years 1993 & 2003
- Before rushing into the gulf coast the Rio Grande slices three magnificent canyons varying from 1,500ft. - 1,700ft. creating a "big bend" (Read more at Big Bend National Park)
The Rio Grande, Continental Divide, Interstate 10 and myself became acquainted on my recent traveling from Phoenix, Arizona to El Paso, Texas to Las Cruces, New Mexico back to El Paso, and then on the return home to Phoenix.
About 5 hours into this trip, heading eastbound approximately 30 minutes past Lordsburg, New Mexico occupying a quiet deserted Interstate 10 I crossed paths with the Continental Divide and the Rio Grande. It was dark and I saw nothing but the green signs posted near the highway. Fortunately for me I was ready with my phone on hand and fast enough to photograph the river as a passenger moving 80mph 6 days later on my way home. I wasn't however as lucky when shortly after we reached the clearly marked sign acknowledging the 4,585ft. elevation portion of the Continental Divide. You will see a sign for both on both the east and westbound lanes of Interstate 10 between Lordsburg and Deming, New Mexico.
After spending 7 days in two new to me states, mostly indoors, it was quite interesting to experience the region from a historic and geographic perspective.

Carlos S. Alvarado, PhD, Research Fellow, Parapsychology Foundation
Here is a recently published paper about the mind-body problem in psychiatry journals: Moreira-Almeida, A., Araujo, S. de F., & Cloninger, C. R. (2018). The presentation of the mind-brain problem in leading psychiatry journals. Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria, Epub February 01, 2018. https://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1516-4446-2017-2342 (click here)
Objective: The mind-brain problem (MBP) has marked implications for psychiatry, but has been poorly discussed in the psychiatric literature. This paper evaluates the presentation of the MBP in the three leading general psychiatry journals during the last 20 years. Methods: Systematic review of articles on the MBP published in the three general psychiatry journals with the highest impact factor from 1995 to 2015. The content of these articles was analyzed and discussed in the light of contemporary debates on the MBP. Results: Twenty-three papers, usually written by prestigious authors, explicitly discussed the MBP and received many citations (mean = 130). The two main categories were critiques of dualism and defenses of physicalism (mind as a brain product). These papers revealed several misrepresentations of theoretical positions and lacked relevant contemporary literature. Without further discussion or evidence, they presented the MBP as solved, dualism as an old-fashioned or superstitious idea, and physicalism as the only rational and empirically confirmed option. Conclusion: The MBP has not been properly presented and discussed in the three leading psychiatric journals in the last 20 years. The few articles on the topic have been highly cited, but reveal misrepresentations and lack of careful philosophical discussion, as well as a strong bias against dualism and toward a materialist/physicalist approach to psychiatry.
The authors concluded:
"Our findings indicate that the MBP has been neither carefully nor systematically addressed in the three leading general psychiatry journals with the highest impact factors during the last 20 years. We found only 23 papers published in this period which discussed, or made explicit reference to, this challenging problem that affects psychiatric training, research, and practice so greatly. Moreover, these papers were usually authored by prestigious and highly cited psychiatrists and had high citation rates – much higher than the three top cited journals' average. This suggests that those views on MBP have been influential and may have helped shape the field's stance on the subject."
"A careful reading of those articles on the MBP, however, reveals a series of misrepresentations of theoretical positions (often based on secondary literature), lack of relevant contemporary literature on the topic, and a strong bias toward reductive physicalism in psychiatry. In summary, without further discussion or evidence, these authors present the MBP as solved, dualism as an old-fashioned/superstitious idea, and physicalism (mind as a brain product) as the only rational option and the only one that has undoubtedly been empirically confirmed. We are not arguing that physicalism (either in its reductive or nonreductive forms) is false. Given the current state of our knowledge, it should be considered a viable and promising hypothesis for the MBP, a good framework for research. The problem, in our view, is the misrepresentation of alternative hypotheses and the presentation of physicalism as the only game in town or as a proven fact . . ."
". . . given the status of our current knowledge and the absence of a satisfactory theory of the MBP, the best way to achieve progress in psychiatry is to recognize that the MBP is far from being solved and to be open to competing theoretical models, as is being done in contemporary physics and philosophy of mind. It is crucial that several models of the MBP, including physicalist and nonphysicalist ones, be allowed to develop and show their value (or lack thereof). Rather than misrepresenting potential candidates, it is more productive to consider alternative hypotheses seriously and test them rigorously with respect for what they propose. Psychiatry could benefit from such competition to move beyond its current limitations."

As the festive party season begins, new research from

Andrew Jones MP, Roads Minister, said: "Drivers know that drink driving is wrong. It can destroy families and ruin lives. Yet some people at Christmas will still take the risk and get behind the wheel when they shouldn't.
"Over the past 30 years drink drive deaths have fallen significantly but every death or serious injury is one too many. The best way for drivers to keep themselves and other road users safe is simple: don't drink and drive."
When polled, the majority of Brits polled (58%) agree that the main benefit of choosing a soft drink this Christmas is having a clear head the next day, with a third (35%) saying going alcohol-free also saves them money.

From Atlanta to Puerto Rico:... From Indiana to Rotterdam:...
From Florida to Beijing: Officially Foreign
My name is Dana Zemke, I'm from Florida, USA and I now live in Beijing, China.
1. Why did you move abroad?
My husband's company had a project open up and he was asked if we'd be willing to relocate. We both love to travel and were expecting a move somewhere abroad for his work for years, so when they told us about China we were ecstatic.
2. How do you make a living?
My current job title is "Professional Woman of Leisure", which surprisingly doesn't pay much. Despite the pay, I have to say, I am at the top of my field and really enjoy my work. I spend my time getting to know Beijing through things like language classes, making new friends, cooking classes, lectures, hikes, bike rides, visiting the endless parks & temples and my absolute favorite – people watching. When I'm done with all the demands of leisure activities, I'm working on a masters degree for speech-language pathology.
My husband's job as a consultant landscape architect is how we're able to stay off the streets. Overall his working experience has been an incredible opportunity for him to gain knowledge about his field in one of the largest emerging markets in the world. He learned early on that things are done a bit differently in China and that it's important to acknowledge and respect that.
3. How often do you communicate with home and how?
I communicate with home daily and am so grateful to live in a time where the Internet exists. I use email, skype, facebook and my blog. In China it's imperative to enlist the services of a VPN to avoid all the censorship by the government. It's probably the one thing I could not live without here.
4. What's your favorite thing about being an expat in China?
Even though I've been here a year, I still see China through the eyes of a tourist, so my favorite thing about being an expat is that it feels like I'm on vacation. Everyday I see something I've never seen before, or do something I've never done before. It makes for a very exciting experience.
5. What's the worst thing about being an expat in China?
The language barrier is certainly a challenge. But what I really detest is the lack of cheese variety. I could also live without the spitting.
6. What do you miss most?
My family and friends, of course… but we also left our dog, Bunker, behind whom I miss terribly. He's still holding out on getting a facebook account so it's hard to know what's going on in his dog-life.
7. What custom/ habits do you find most strange about your adopted culture?
I'd have to say the bathroom behavior. I just can't get used to the kids with the split-pants or the squat-pots.
8. What is a myth about your adopted country?
I think the general myth was that the cities in China aren't as modern as cities the west. Beijing feels just like New York City, or London… only everyone's Chinese and speaks mandarin.
9. What advice would you give other expats?
It can't be said enough that attitude is everything. Try to see everything that's hard or different as an opportunity to learn or grow as a person. Most importantly, have fun – living abroad is truly privileged experience… live it up!
10. When and why did you start your blog?
I started it about a week before we made the move. I love to write but was waiting to do something interesting enough to be blog-worthy, and I figured a move from the USA to China fit that criteria.
I like that the blog provides a place to share our new lives with our family and friends so they can feel close to us even though we are worlds away. I really wanted to take everyone I love with us on this journey, so I try to use the blog to accomplish that. I want people to feel like they are getting the chance to know China as much and as intimately as we are.
A few of my friends from home have told me that it's an excellent way to waste time at work, so I consider that a tremendous benefit. My lofty hopes are that readers will learn more about China and Asian culture in an entertaining way.

If you missed nabbing a spot in this coming Sunday's "Silly Old Bear" class, here's some good news –there's a new alternate version of the class available. The new version uses more pink elements so is a bit more feminine, but not super girly. The album size is a bit smaller, so I've added two additional pages in the new class. "In the Pink" will take place on Sunday, 3/9. The sample is on display in the store.

Do you remember the devastation in the form of FIRE last October?
Here is a quote from Gena Barney the owner of Cool Scrapbook Stuff: "The witch fire (the one closest to me) burned 1040 homes, 414 outbuildings, 239 vehicles, plus 70 homes and 24 outbuildings were damaged — i believe that approx 500 of those homes were burned in rancho bernardo (where i live! – i live less than 6 miles from my store). "
Gena, the owner of Cool Scrapbook Stuff in Poway, is organizing an event for the people who lost their homes in those devastating fires last October*. She rented a 20,000 square foot storefront in her shopping center. She has been collecting scrapbook donations to give to those people who lost EVERYTHING. The response has been amazing. Customers donated scrapbook product and many manufacturers donated huge amounts of product. Two dozen scrapbook stores in So Cal are also helping out with this effort.
*Update: this event is for all California Residents from losses from Fires. NOTE… FEMA/Red Cross paperwork/ID is required! Check CSS website for more info!
Friday, February 29 – Sunday, March 2
I know this is last minute but lets step up to the plate and help our fellow scrapbook sisters who lost everything. Give the gift of your time. If you can help, please call Gena at 858-679-9100.

Good Time Girls on the Prowl

Good Time Girls Nancy, Valeree and Kristin
CHA Winter '08 is now history. But while it was here you know all us "good time girls" (and "guys") were on the prowl for the hottest new trends and products. Here are a few things to keep your eyes peeled for: the new Basic Grey Rub-on Roller (a cool tool), the "Cogsmo" line from Cosmo Cricket (and their Blackboard albums too), the new extended Quickutz platform and dies for the Revolution and lots of fun stuff from Prima –they're not just about flowers any more!
All I can say is wow!
Posted February 11, 2008on:
So funny story about this photo. As I was pulling into the parking structure this morning for CHA, this car caught my eye. I had to chuckle to myself. This picture doesn't do it justice. There must be at least 1/8" of muck on this poor car. I don't even want to know what kind of weather this person had to drive through to make it to CHA Anaheim (they came from Idaho)!!! Someone was clearly on a mission to make it to the hottest trade show of the scrapbooking industry. And can we blame them?
As I was leaving the show I told myself I had to capture this photo. So I as I drove out, I had my camera all ready in my hand. I was going to slow to a stop, snap the picture, and be off. Well wouldn't you know, another car was right on my tail. I am thinking, "I can't stop and take a picture! They'll think I am a crazy person." OK … so I would snap it as I go drove by. I did this only to find there was a parking attendant right in front of me directing me how to get out. As my flash goes off!!! So much for not looking like a crazy person. I thought for sure someone would be pulling me over any minute for stalking. Fortunately my faster than fast Mercury Sable was able to dodge any coppers.
On a sidenote, there is a TON of cute new product out. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

The Secret Has Been Revealed!
Posted February 11, 2008on:
The secret was unveiled yesterday (Sunday) at the CHA show. Quickutz has released a new way of using your Revolution die cut machine. They have designed an attachment to make long borders for your layouts.
Posted February 9, 2008on:
The secret will be revealed tomorrow at the Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) show. But we "heard" that Quickutz will unveil new product for the Revolution on Sunday (Feb 10th), that will be ABSOLUTELY irresistible!!! If you own the Revolution machine you will be glad you do, and if you have not made the investment yet, Quickutz is hoping when you see the new product you will! I can not wait… Quickutz has come out with some great new products and dies this past year. I can not wait to see what they are so ga-ga over! -Susan B.
Monthly Showcase
Posted February 7, 2008on:
There is a treat in store for you with the beginning of every month (well, actually there are LOTS of treats – this is just *one* of them!). At the beginning of every month, Julie changes out the Inspiration Showcase at the front of the store. The February tableau is fabulous, but in case you missed January's offering, here is a one last look. Julie and Pamela are now taking care of the window display too, so you'll see some more inspirational projects spilling over into the window area as well.
(PS other monthly treats include the Layout and Card kits of the month –there's always something new when the first rolls around!)

Is it better to rent or buy a house?
Considerations may include your age, stress level and investment outlook.
In light of uncertain economic conditions here are some questions you should ask yourself before you make your decision:
- Do I want to be burdened with the stresses of home ownership
- Do I want to invest the additional funds required to own & operate a home.
- Do I want to pay:
- Property Taxes
- Property Insurance
- Homeowners Association Fees
Maintenance costs, in particular, cannot be underestimated. If your furnace fails or a pipe leaks, you have to hire a professional … and that assumes you find someone whom you trust and with whom you feel comfortable.
There are other costs as well. As a homeowner, you may find the sudden need for a new appliance, a lawnmower, snow shovels, etc., etc. It all adds up.
Senior Housing Alternative believes the financial and physical answers are clear. We would be very happy to sit down with you and review the numbers. We are certain you will be amazed at how much money you'll save being one of our residents.
