I might actually sub to something
That looks like it's coming to an end soon. On Monday I downloaded and played the demo for Star Trek Online. I was underwhelmed (to put it mildly) by the tutorial the first time I tried it. However, I gave it another go with tactical (DPS boosting) officer and made it all the way through the first mission you get with the demo. While it didn't exactly blow my socks off, I saw a lot of interesting mechanics I'd like to explore more. I could get the full game up and running for only $20, and I may.
And of course, there is Cataclysm. As any one reading this knows, World of Warcraft has been heavily revamped as of this week. Even without buying the expansion there is an almost entirely new 1-60 leveling game in place now. I am very much tempted to pony up $15 to check it out. However, it leaves me with kind of an odd quandry. WoW isn't installed on my current PC at all. Do I do a fresh install on my current PC using Blizzards horrifically slow down loaders (the worst I have ever experienced with any MMO company since leaving 56K behind [Edit: as it turns out Blizzard has updated their downloader, the new one is amazingly zippy...12 gigs in less than two hours]), or plug in the toaster living under my bed that has the entire game installed? Further, so great is my WoW burnout that I'm not entirely sure that even a brand spanky new 1-60 game would be enough to keep me entertained. I made it all of two levels into WotLK the last time I tried it.
In any case, too many interesting options is not a bad place to be. In either case, less than what I spend in a bar on a weekend is at stake.

Ping me if you end up subbing to STO, I would be happy to show you around.ReplyDelete

STO and WoW, both are competing for my gaming time these days.ReplyDelete
I'm going to echo Blue and say if you do end up subbing to STO, be sure to friend me up :) But I guess we're all in the same fleet anyway! Just one of the great things about everyone playing on the same shard.
And re: WoW, as excited as I was about the changes, I still had my doubts that Cataclysm will rekindle the fire in me and keep it burning for the long run. Running around the post-Shattering world last night though, I am starting to think it might, at very least from 1-60. They done wonders to the zones.
As any one reading this knows, World of Warcraft has been heavily revamped as of this weekReplyDelete
Actually, I did not... I knew there were some kind of revamp, but since I have not felt any reason to play that game, I have not followed what is going on in detail.
I like STO the few times I am in the game playing, but I do not feel an urge to login an play regularly there.
I am curious how this Foundry will turn out, might be fun to play around with.
Resist the urge and go buy a round of Jager Bombs instead.ReplyDelete
I keed, I keed. I ran pretty much the exact same gamut as you. I'm actually back into old games (heck, I reloaded the original Bioshock) and playing some modded versions of FPS titles. I'm MMO dry right now.
I haven't even tried STO yet. Might be worth looking at the free trial, I've heard those mixed reviews.
(Gah, but Bioware instead of Bioshock, no comment edit, just delete. Sorry!)
@Blue: I went with WoW first, but I do intend to purchase STO. I'll definitely look you up there soon :-)ReplyDelete
@Mmogamerchick: more detail in my next post, but I had the exact same experience as you with WoW.
@Sente: I stand corrected!
@Isey: imo the demo of STO is well worth doing, if for no other reason than to experience the odd mechanics of ship to ship combat. It's not much like anything else I've played, and I've been a PC gamer since Pool of Radiance was the bomb. Just be sure to go with a tactical officer, the other two are next to useless in the demo.

Ex-US Rep. Anthony Weiner pleads guilty in sexting case
NEW YORK (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose penchant for sexting strangers online ended his political career and led to an investigation that upended the presidential race, pleaded guilty Friday to criminal charges in connection with his online communications with a 15-year-old girl.
Weiner pleaded guilty to a charge of transmitting sexual material to a minor and could get years in prison. He agreed not to appeal any sentence between 21 and 27 months in prison. He was already in federal custody ahead of the court hearing.
The judge told him he would have to register as a sex offender.
The FBI began investigating Weiner in September after the 15-year-old North Carolina girl
She also accused him of asking her to undress on camera.
The investigation led FBI agents to seize his laptop computer, which led to the discovery of a new cache of emails that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had sent to Huma Abedin, Weiner's wife.
In late October, just days before the election, FBI Director James Comey stunned the country by announcing that his agency was reopening its closed investigation into Clinton's handling of State Department business on a private email server so it could analyze the newly discovered correspondence.
That inquiry was brief. Comey announced shortly before the election that the new emails contained nothing to change his view that Clinton could not be charged with a crime. But Clinton partly blamed her loss to Republican Donald Trump on Comey's announcement.
Weiner's lawyer, Arlo Devlin Brown, did not immediately return a message Friday.
Weiner, who represented New York in Congress from 1999 to 2011, resigned after revelations that he was sending sexually explicit messages to multiple women.
He ran for New York City mayor in 2013 and was leading several polls until it was revealed he had continued his questionable behavior.
His failed mayoral bid was the subject of the documentary "Weiner."
The investigation ultimately led to then-FBI Director James Comey's letter to Congress informing them that the probe of Clinton's email practices as secretary of state had been reopened. Clinton and others have suggested that letter cost her the election.
The charge Weiner is expected to plead guilty to could carry a sentence of up to ten years in prison.
This story will be updated.

Two weeks after it announced the elimination of the feed-in tariff (FIT) for large-scale wind projects, the Ontario government continues to pare back the development of utility-scale wind projects.
The Korean consortium has agreed to modify the massive C$7 billion deal it signed with the Ontario government. The 2010 agreement called for the building of manufacturing facilities as well as 2,500 MW of wind and solar projects.
According to the Ministry of Energy (MOE), the agreement has been reduced to 1,369 MW.
The consortium – which includes Samung C&T Corp., Pattern Energy, Korean Electric Power Corp. and CS Wind, a Korea-based wind tower manufacturer – signed a $7 billion agreement in 2010 to develop 2,500 MW of wind and solar energy projects in the province. At the time, the agreement was the single largest investment commitment under Ontario's landmark Green Energy Act.
The agreement led to a number of significant investments in Ontario, including three renewable energy manufacturing facilities and the construction of four wind farms with a combined nameplate capacity of 869 MW and two 100 MW solar projects. They include the following:
á   149 MW Grand Renewable Energy Park (wind) – Haldimand County;
á   100 MW Grand Renewable Energy Park (solar) – Haldimand County;
á   270 MW South Kent Wind Park (wind) – Chatham Kent;
á   270 MW K2 project (wind) – Township of Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh (26 km north of Goderich);
á   180 MW Armow project (wind) – Municipality of Kincardine; and
á   100 MW Kingston North project (solar) – Kingston and Loyalist Township.
According to the MOE, another 200 MW of wind and 100 MW of solar will move forward under the amended agreement.
While the agreement led to the building of several production facilities and wind farms in the province, it has also fueled the growing anti-wind sentiment in Ontario. What's more, the Ontario government also allocated grid capacity for the consortium, which further angered locals, as well as rival wind developers that felt the consortium was receiving preferential treatment.
According to a MOE spokesperson, the consortium will continue to receive transmission access for the remaining projects under the agreement.
The agreement represents an estimated $3.7 billion reduction in contract cost – or about $24 per year for the average residential consumer.
'The province will consider how to best use the freed up transmission capacity associated with the projects that are not proceeding as part of Ontario's review of the Long-Term Energy Plan with a focus on renewable energy, ratepayer savings and conservation,' notes a MOE spokesperson.

PUSH!2 The Next Step
Göteborg Ballet dances at Röda Sten.
Three ballets by three choreographers.
The Göteborg Opera and Kulturprojekt Röda Sten, two dynamic cultural institutions by Göta Älv, are now joining forces with PUSH!2 to find new ways to reach the audience. We want to explore the inner soul of a performance and challenge people's conceptions about dance by using videos as a tool. At Röda Sten we will meet a completely different audience than in the opera house, an audience that is particularly open to new influences, bold ventures and unconventional moves – to our mutual joy and progression.
Already last spring Kevin Irving presented his production Push! at the Göteborg Opera Small Stage. The move to interfoliate works by three different choreographers with an intimate analysis of the dancer's everyday life was something new and innovative. The production attracted much attention, and has since been staged on several stages in Sweden.

The situation of men who enjoy playing the M in relation to female prostitutes is instructive here. In a society that systematically gives men power over women, men usually have enough ability to retaliate that a female S is, ultimately, very much in their power. On this basis, John Stoltenberg has argued that sadomasochism may be liberating for men in a way that it cannot be for women in a patriarchy.Is it just an obsession with "prostitutes" that makes you so constantly run at the mouth/keyboard about pros with only a footnote about everybody else (usually that we're so rare and it proves you right about everything)? Because I really don't understand it and, to be honest, it really ticks me off. It bothers me to see you folks so constantly insinuate that no one would be like me unless someone paid them for it.
Stop it, please.
And honestly? As a person with a disability, I am used to constant small disempowerments. It really bugs me to turn to the feminist movement and find the same thing all over again.
What really saddens me is that the actual people who write this stuff will likely never see what I just wrote. These folks are Professors, who Get Stuff Published. I'm just someone with a blog. My story matters less than the theory, and the theory says "no right-minded female would be like you unless cash were involved." Uh... no thanks to that.
(And I'm not even addressing here how disrespectful to actual dominatrices, prostitutes, and other sex workers that kind of gloss is also. Yuck with a capital Y.)

About PhotoWeavers
PhotoWeavers' blankets warm with in-woven images that are higher quality than their screenprinted counterparts. Tapestry weavers in a family-owned textile mill work more than 8 miles of 100% cotton thread—the equivalent of three zillion Q-tips—into each creation. Blankets can be made using one of two methods. During the zippy, super-simple method, a blanket is born from a single image without borders, text, or other designs. In the second method, customers meld up to four pictures with custom elements to create a truer reflection of themselves than a mirror that displays human eyes as googly eyes. PhotoWeavers' looms also create tote bags, pillows, and wall hangings with the same meticulous attention to detail.

Dave Zatz of Sling Media has confirmed a report that the company is working on a Slingbox that will be compatible with the Apple TV. This would ultimately allow users of Apple TVs (and therefore users of iTunes on their home computers) to stream video and music through the Slingbox to their mobile phones. Oh, and through rest of the Internet too, of course.
Dave says that the Apple TV would require a component pass-through on a Slingbox Pro with HD Connect to remotely view/listen to your content.
Our SlingPlayer software (computer and mobile) offers an audio-only mode, so we're not just talking iTV video here… Select an iTunes playlist, switch to audio-only if you'd like (reducing bandwidth), and listen to your music anywhere you've got Internet.
There is currently no official timeline or availability estimates, but Mr. Zatz is very confident in saying that "we're currently in testing and it is coming." It's somewhat rare to have companies officially confirm this stuff so early in the game, so it's pretty safe to say that unless some people get fired between now and the time it's supposed to be released, the Apple TV-compatible Slingbox is definitely on its way.

I am planning to install the entire Alpina wheel and suspension package on my 2002 Z8. I am looking forward to letting everyone know the outcome when it is done, as I have not found anyone yet in the states yet who has done that. Perhaps J?rgen knows of someone, but Axel at Alpina is unaware of any Z8?s in Europe running the Alpina set-up.
My package will include the 20 inch Alpina Dynamic wheels, struts (front), shocks (rear) and springs. My personal reasons for the change: I like the look of the Alpina wheels - though perhaps slightly garish, they are uniquely attractive and tie into the 4 spoke appearance of the Z8 steering wheel. I also like the idea that a company like Alpina has tuned the suspension and wheel combination to basically a Z8 and that I am keeping the car a bit more ?stock?. Finally, I am drawn to the possibly protective effect of the more compliant Alpina suspension for our strut towers, as I want to go to a taller wheel. Before pursuing this, I have researched whether there may be some deleterious effect with the slightly differently weighted Z8.
Here is what I have learned talking to Axel at Alpina in Germany, the folks at KSK Distributors (distributors for Alpina in the U.S. - 818-843-2620) Grease Monkey and other Alpina / Z8 owners on BMWZ.us, the Alpina brochure, and culling the Web for additional information.
Where possible, I have relied primarily on formally documented information or that from Alpina. The Alpina goes by the formal name of ?Alpina Roadster V8?.
Weight (pounds):
Alpina - 3495 (3554 with Hardtop) The Alpina brochure states 3571 unloaded.
Z8 ----- 3494 (doesn?t indicate with or without hardtop)
The weight distribution of the Alpina is shown as 49.9/50.1, whereas the Z8 is shown as 50/50. The Alpina engine has been reported to be some 80-90 pounds lighter than the Z8 S62 engine. As the Z8 has been reported as being lighter than the Alpina, the weight difference advantage for the Z8 is thought to arise from the lighter weight of its manual transmission.
Per Bridgestone, the RE040 Z8 OEM tires weigh 36 lbs. in the rear (275/40 18) and 32 lbs. in the front (245/45 18).
Per TireRack, the Pilot Sport 2 for the Alpina wheel weigh 26 pounds in the rear (285/30 20) and the same in the front (255/35 20).
The Z8 OE wheel / tire front combo on a Z8 weighs 59 lbs. and the rear combo weighs 64 lbs (per GM).
Axel believes that the different weight bias of the Z8 would not disturb handling and ride advantages of the Alpina set up, when installed in a Z8.
The rear Alpina Springs are stiffer and shorter than their Z8 counterparts.
Here is where it gets a little tricky. The front springs of the Z8 and U.S. Alpina are identical. But, the front spring of the Euro Alpina is stiffer and 10 mm shorter than the U.S. Alpina sping. The Z8 front spring was apparently used in the U.S. Alpina to meet D.O.T. standards.
The Alpina (both U.S. and Euro) front struts and rear shocks are more dampened (read softer) than their Z8 counterparts.
Owner opinions:
One owner reports that the Alpina wheels are 3-5 pounds lighter than the Z8 OEM wheels.
One Alpina owner remembers at his Spartanburg experience with 10 ?Z8?s?, that the top 3 autocross times belonged to the three Alpinas present. He also found that ?regarding handling, the Z8 is more responsive and turns somewhat flatter during high G turns?. After driving the Z8, he did find that the Alpina did have a more forgiving ride than the Z8.
Two owners who have fitted the Alpina wheel / non-run flat combos on their Z8?s have found a more compliant ride. At least one owner found a stiffer ride with that same combo. These reports were in Z8?s without the Alpina suspension set up (stiffer springs / softer struts/shocks).
Much has been written in the press of the more compliant ride of the Alpina versus the Z8.

Recovery of bodies+
To minimize the distress caused by the sight of dead bodies and the odours produced by their decomposition, it is important to collect and remove corpses to a collection point as quickly as possible. Anyone in charge of a body recovery team should be aware of the stress and trauma that team members might feel, and provide support for this where possible.
Mortuary Services
It is important to provide secure morgue facilities where there are casualties following an emergency, where there is an epidemic, or if burial or cremation are likely to be delayed. A temporary mortuary site should consist of a reception, a viewing room, a storage chamber for bodies not suitable for viewing and a room to store personal possessions and records.
The recommended capacity for a field morgue is 10 bodies per 10 000 population. Bodies should be stored at 4ºC, although this is rarely possible. Mortuary staff should wear gloves and protective clothing and should wash with disinfectant soap. A complete list of mortuary requirements is given below. Where this is not possible, the minimum facilities are stretchers, leather gloves, rubber gloves, overalls, boots, caps, soap, disinfectants and cotton cloth. Following an emergency, when the decision is made to close a temporary mortuary, appropriate cleansing of the site should take place.
Equipment for mortuary services in major disasters:-
- • Stainless steel postmortem tables or heavy duty trestle tables covered with plastic sheeting.
• Wheeled trolleys for transporting bodies within the mortuary.
• Tarpaulin or plastic sheeting for the floor, if it is not made of concrete.
• Heavy-duty black plastic sheeting for temporary screens.
• Refuse bins and bags.
• Cleaning materials – mops, buckets, cloths, soap, towels.
• Disinfectant and deodorizer.
• Protective clothing and heavy-duty rubber gloves.
• Translucent plastic body bags 0.1 mm thick and labels (if epidemic circumstances).
• Wall charts to record progress or large poster boards if there are no walls.
Identification of bodies
One of the major challenges of effective management of dead bodies is their early identification and tagging. Records of deaths and funerals need to be kept to monitor mortality rates and the incidence of disease and to be able to provide timely, understandable and accurate information to relatives of the dead. Displaying bodies for identification needs space; 1000 bodies require over 2000m2. Identification can be a lengthy process, especially where no personal documentation is carried. When relatives and friends of the dead are involved, it must be remembered that visual identification is not scientific. In emergency situations, this process is even more difficult as it may be necessary for relatives to view numerous bodies in the hope that they will make an identification. This would normally be avoided. Where possible, it is important to differentiate viewing a body for identification from viewing a body for grieving purposes and separate locations should be provided. Once identified, a death certificate should be issued, an official record of death prepared and the body tagged. With violent deaths, it is also important to record the cause of death for possible future investigation.
Body Disposal
Burials in common graves and mass cremations are rarely warranted and should be avoided.
1. Burial:- Burial is the preferred method of body disposal in emergency situations unless there are cultural and religious observances which prohibit it. The location of graveyards should be agreed with the community and attention should be given to ground conditions, proximity to groundwater drinking sources (which should be a least 50m) and to the nearest habitat (500m). An area of at least 1500m2 per 10 000 population is required.
The burial site can be divided to accommodate different religious groups if necessary. Burial depth should be at least 1.5m above the groundwater table, with at least a 1m covering of soil. Burial in individual graves is preferred and can be dug manually. If coffins are not available, corpses should be wrapped in plastic sheeting to keep the remains separate from the soil. Burial procedures should be consistent with the usual practices of the community concerned.
2. Cremation:- There are no health advantages of cremation over burial but some communities may prefer it for religious or cultural reasons. Factors against it are the amount of fuel required by a single cremation (approx 300kg. wood) and the smoke pollution caused. For this reason, cremation sites should be located at least 500m downwind of dwellings. The resultant ashes should be disposed of according to the cultural and religious practice of the community.
Action in medical epidemics
Where possible, in the case of a medical epidemic, body handling should be left to specialist medical staff. Rather than using lime for disinfection purposes, which has a limited effect on infectious pathogens, it is better to use chlorine solution or other medical disinfectants. Any vehicles used to transport bodies to burial or cremation sites during epidemics should also be disinfected after use. It is important to make communities aware of the risks of contagion from practices such as traditional washing of the dead. Also, any large gathering, including a funeral, can be a way of spreading an epidemic. Consequently, burial or cremation should take place soon after death at a site near the place of death with limits placed on the size of any gathering.
1. Cholera:- Contact with the body leads to exposure to cholera vibrios and requires careful washing using soap and water.
2. Ebola:- Ebola is spread through bodily secretions such as blood, saliva, vomit, urine and stools, but can easily be killed with soap and water. Those dealing with the disposal of bodies require high levels of protection.
3. Typhus and plague:- To avoid infestation with the fleas and lice that spread these diseases, protective clothing should be worn. Body bags should be used to store the bodies prior to burial or cremation.
Important principles
• Give priority to the living over the dead.
• Dispel myths about health risks posed by corpses.
• Identify and tag corpses.
• Provide appropriate mortuary services.
• Reject unceremonious and mass disposal of unidentified corpses.
• Respond to the wishes of the family.
• Respect cultural and religious observances.
• Protect communities from the transmission of medical epidemics.
Disposal of dead bodies in emergency conditions.
This technical note provides guidance on the disposal of dead bodies in emergency situations. Where there are many fatalities, the collection and disposal of bodies becomes an urgent need. This is not usually due to any health-related risks, which are likely to be negligible, but is important because of the possible social and political impact and trauma. So emergency relief teams should primarily be concerned with the mental health of the community and its need to carry out the cultural obligations and traditions to take care of the dead, rather than potential disease transmission.
Physical health risks:-
The widespread belief that corpses pose a risk of communicable disease is wrong. Especially if death resulted from trauma, bodies are quite unlikely to cause outbreaks of diseases such as typhoid fever, cholera, or plague, though they may transmit gastroenteritis or food poisoning syndrome to survivors if they contaminate streams, wells, or other water sources.
Mental health risks:-
The psychological trauma of losing loved ones and witnessing death on a large scale is the greatest cause for concern. It is therefore, important to collect corpses as quickly as possible to minimize this distress. It is, however, not necessary to rush their burial or cremation. This does not allow for the correct identification and record taking of the details of the dead. Nor does it give the time for the bereaved to carry out the ceremonial and cultural practices, which would normally occur after a death.
Relief workers should respect the wishes of the families and communities of the dead to observe whatever cultural and religious events are usually practiced on death. This is important in helping people deal with the psychological impact of such disasters. Encouraging stricken communities to carry out traditional ceremonies and grieving processes sets in motion the process of disaster recovery.

Evangel offers students hands-on training in shooting, directing, producing, writing, video and audio production, performing for the camera, announcing, and editing all types of film-related projects. Students also study film history, aesthetics, and scriptwriting while being trained in the art of film and video production.
The Film & Broadcasting program is a heavy-duty video production program that educates the student to use his or her skills, intellect, and creativity to make an impact in culture, ministry and the entertainment business. The Film & Broadcasting major is a mix of art and technology that offers the student real opportunities to learn the craft in an environment that integrates faith and education. The program takes a core of Communication coursework that provides the basis for advanced work in the field of media. Film & Broadcasting courses include subjects such as scriptwriting, video production, audio production, editing, directing, photography, compositing and animation, studio and field programming, and lighting. These topics are placed within the context of both narrative and documentary filmmaking. Students in Film & Broadcasting courses create multiple short films, commercials, montages, and specialty videos. Evangel offers the Film Workshop, in which students produce a feature-style film each semester. Students act as director, producer, cinematographer, audio supervisor, camera operator, editor, and many other positions while working as a team to produce a 45 to 60-minute film. The feature film is shown to the public on a special night at the end of the semester. These films also are featured on the Web and local cable access channels. Evangel is also affiliated with the Los Angeles Film Studies Center. Though it is not required, many Evangel students have completed part of their Film program through the LAFSC. One of the benefits of attending the LAFSC for a semester is to acclimate the film student with the film industry in Los Angeles. This is especially important for those who want to spend their careers working in LA. Internships in video production are also available while the student is attending Evangel.

at Burlington Northern-Santa Fe
"Today's news that the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF) will transfer up to 100 jobs this spring to the Havelock facility in northeast Lincoln is very welcome. The company is consolidating its freight car repair operations by moving the jobs to Lincoln from Topeka, Kansas. These are positions with good salaries, and BNSF has training opportunities available.
"In addition, BNSF has already added eight new employees to the train service operation here. The company plans to hire about 40 more in that area this year, along with another 10 in other areas. That means up to 160 new jobs could be created at the company in Lincoln by the end of 2002.
"Burlington has been in Lincoln since 1869, the year our city was incorporated. It has been a great employer and an excellent corporate citizen. With 1,400 employees in Lincoln and about 4,000 in Nebraska, BNSF is a major economic factor in our state. We are very appreciative of the company's continued investment in Lincoln."

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
Cal State Northridge junior Jaci Carlsen was named Big West Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday. In the Matadors' seven games last week, Carlsen batted a robust .619 (13-of-21) while collecting six extra-base hits, five RBIs, six runs scored and three stolen bases.
In helping the Matadors' to a 4-3 record last week, Carlsen certainly flexed her offensive muscle often. She posted a .680 on-base percentage and a 1.143 slugging percentage in the seven contests. Carlsen had three doubles, a triple and a home run while drawing four walks compared to zero strikeouts.
"I have been seeing the ball well recently and am happy to help contribute to the team's success," Carlsen said. "I want to thank my teammates and coaches for their help and support throughout the season."
In the Matadors' doubleheader sweep of North Dakota on Mar. 15, Carlsen collected her first triple of the season, stole two bases and had a run scored and an RBI.
During the Matadors' play at the San Diego Classic II, Carlsen set several new season highs and tied several career bests. She tied a career high with a season-best three runs scored against Ohio on Mar. 20, and then followed that up with a perfect 4-for-4 performance against San Diego also on Mar. 20. Against the Toreros, she had two doubles and one run, stolen base and RBI.
For the season, Carlsen is batting a team-high .390, the fifth-best average in the Big West Conference. She ranks third in the league with a .688 slugging percentage, eighth with a .447 on-base percentage, ninth with 15 runs scored, tied for third with 30 hits and six doubles and first in total bases with 53. Carlsen also checks tied for fourth in the Big West with five home runs and she is also tied for second in the league with seven stolen bases.
Her home run against Ohio was the 15th of her career, tying her with teammate Tracy Allen and Sandra Milchiker for 10th in school history. Carlsen has started every game at second base for the Matadors, owning a .947 fielding percentage in 132 chances.
"Jaci had an outstanding week at the plate and is really hitting the ball hard right now," Flowers said. "She's been putting in some extra work and is starting to see that pay off."
Carlsen and the Matadors return to action this weekend with three games at No. 7 Arizona. The Matadors will play on Mar. 25 and 26 at 7 p.m. and Mar. 27 at 1 p.m. against the Wildcats.
"I am excited to face Arizona this weekend," Carlsen added. "They are a very good team, but I think we're ready for the challenge."

This quest asks me to defeat the Grimm's Grotto (normal difficulty) dungeon with the 3 Mages classes (Wizard, Sorcerer, Bloodmage).
I never won this dungeon with any of these classes.
Indeed, i have no clue on how to win this. Most of the time, my Wizard will run out of tiles to regen to reach lvl 8. And if i was lucky enough, how could i win against Bleaty ? Bosses will One Shot me most of the time, and my 6 Fireballs will hardly remove 50% life.
I presume i am very bad, cause it is a normal difficulty dungeon.
I want to improve my skills, so any tips is welcomed.

March Sponsor: poshlocket and Shorts.
24 comments:
I know, shorts are scarey. But you look adorable! Love the earrings. Just the right touch!ReplyDelete
Don't worry, your shorts and legs look great! I have a similar body type, so it's nice to see other women like me rocking the shorts confidently. Keep it up!ReplyDelete
BAH your legs are adorable. We can be pale shorts-wearing friends this summer :D And OMG THOSE EARRINGS. <3ReplyDelete
Don't worry, looking lovely!ReplyDelete
You look so lovely! You look amazing in shorts!ReplyDelete
You would look gorgeous in a paper bag... having said that, I share your feelings about shorts. But gorgeous nonetheless!ReplyDelete
I always feel so casual wearing shorts. No matter how dressy they are. It's fine if I"m at the beach or at home and it's super hot. Otherwise I feel weird.ReplyDelete
I also used to wear loud, ridiculous earrings. In fact. I wore different earrings in each ear. Sometimes ever four different ones. Which has left me with a collection of single earrings. I rarely wear them now. But it's fun when you pull out a nice pair, in't!
The shorts look great on you! Also, I'm wearing a very similar shirt right now, which I thought was funny. I like yours better!ReplyDelete
I adore those shorts! They are a bit short, but the print more than makes up for it!ReplyDelete
They look fantastic on you! I know how weird it is, I went two years without wearing them but they're so much fun, especially the pair you have!ReplyDelete
Oh my word those shorts are amazing! I understand what you mean about feeling exposed in them, I'd love to wear them more but have massive thunder thighs so its not really an option! Although saying that I did only just buy a pair this afternoon which I am going to try with nice thick tights. I love the paisley teamed with the mustard too.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 19, 2012 at 5:48 PM
Love your paisly shorts! And as a friend of mine says: "embrace the pale!" :)ReplyDelete
Kel xo
Ahh, I'm the same: I love the idea of running around in shorts looking like either a pin-up girl, or a member of the Famous Five (depending on how I feel that day!), but in reality it is a bit like "Argh! Legs! Don't look at my legs!" Yours look just fine in the outfit, though, so don't worry. :o)ReplyDelete
The earrings are mega, too.
ud tughomMy immediate reaction on seeing that first photo was - oh wow I didn't realise she was so svelte under all those winter layers! So really... you should not be too concerned about being exposed - you look amazing! And the shorts are too cute not to wear.ReplyDelete
so pretty, i love the muted colors in this. those shorts are adorable, you look great :)ReplyDelete
I'm a newcomer to the world of shorts, myself. Take courage - you pull them off really well! :) I adore that blouse and those earrings are gorgeous...ReplyDelete
i used to be really self-concious in shorts too, but once you wear them out a few times it takes no time at all to work up the courage.ReplyDelete
those earrings are perfect for you!ReplyDelete
i love these earrings. i am the same way. i used to wear enormous, bright ones. then i stopped altogether (which is weird because i make and sell jewelry). recently i started wearing simple colored dots. i like it.ReplyDelete
Fab earrings! I'm a bit anti shorts myself, but have learned to embrace my thighs and now if the right colour and pattern comes along I may well be strutting down the street in shorts too, without any fear of a breeze lifting up my usual skirts.ReplyDelete
I feel the same way about shorts, but I think your legs look really good. Congrats on the sponsor. Those earrings are very cute.ReplyDelete
Really, those shorts look just great on you. It is very adorable to see a person who looks just great awithout being transparently thin.ReplyDelete
I get you on feeling exposed! It's why I don't even wear pants, there's something about people being able to see all my curves and crevices that rather bothers me hah. I think the shorts look amazing on you though, and they are such a great print! Shorts like that might even convert me!ReplyDelete
you are too cute!!!! come visit us again soon please! when the weather is nice and we can go to the park!ReplyDelete

The last time I tried to do that most of the judges were like: "this important aspect of the original video is missing". You can tell them you didn't want it in all you want, but still.JaddziaDax wrote:I wanna say I see this round as more something like this: I saw this CatCopterPaperEater some years ago and fell in love with it.. slightly out of tribute to my love for it and also to create my own spin on the song it I created this CatCopterPaperEater. Yes, both use the same song, but neither use the same video source. Or shall I compare this video to this?
I don't think that Code is asking people to re-create a video that you love and "update the editing" in any way, but more so make a tribute/your own version of perhaps the same concept using the same song of one of your favorite videos.
I won't question people's taste in CatCopterPaperEaters in any way but that's pretty much me (and I've posted so already). I have my own weird taste in videos so I really can't bash others for what they like.
Judging stuff like this is tough. Editing too, balancing between "stay close to the original" and "creative spin [breaking]"...

News Tip − Expert Comments on Possible Government Shutdown Due to Lack of Agreed Upon Budget
Tea Party Republicans' attempt to defund Obamacare by tacking on a measure to the new federal spending bill will ultimately fail as Democrats and a handful of Republicans come together to avoid a government shutdown, according to JMU assistant professor of political science Dr. Timothy M. LaPira.
Dr. Timothy M. LaPira
Assistant professor of political science, James Madison University
LaPira is an expert on American politics, specifically politics within the Beltway and Congress, interest groups, lobbying and political influence. His current research focus is on so-called "revolving door" lobbyists. He has worked as a legislative assistant within Congress and as a researcher for the Center for Responsive Politics, where he created the Lobbying and Revolving Door databases on OpenSecrets.org.
"What those in Congress are doing is strategically setting up the decision context — how the decision gets made — in a way that they have to force a very difficult choice at the very end. This is not the first government shutdown that has been threatened in the past few years. Sadly this tactic is becoming more the norm than it is the exception."
"Both parties know that they will be harmed politically if a government shutdown happens. A shutdown, unlike sequestration that happened last year, is immediate and it's noticeable everywhere outside of Washington. And the American public will blame everyone in Congress — in both parties."
"These conservative Republicans' attempt to defund Obamacare is a last-ditch effort to throw a wrench into the gears. What the Tea Party Republicans in the House and Senate are trying to do is get any movement on delaying Obamacare. They would consider that a victory because they see the political reality. They know that they will never be able to get rid of this program unless there are some major institutional changes, such as a Republican sweep in the midterm elections. And that's unlikely. And even if they did, Obama still has the veto pen for three more years. So they're not looking for an all-out victory; they're looking to win a battle or two so that when they run for reelection next year, they can claim that they fought the good fight and that they stood by their principles."
"Most of the Republicans in Congress now weren't there in 1995 [during the last government shutdown]. They don't remember how badly the party was hurt. That's why the GOP leadership today doesn't want to follow through on the threat of a government shutdown. But none of that matters to Sen. Lee or Sen. Cruz or the Tea Party Republicans in the House. They're just as willing to run against their own party leadership. That element didn't exist within the Republican Party 20 years ago when there were enough moderates to balance them out."
"The Tea Party will make a big stink and try to obstruct or delay any bill that doesn't defund Obamacare, but ultimately it will fail. They'll keep kicking the can down the road as long as they can. You have the Democrats who have the equal but opposite incentive to keep the law, and enough Republicans who want to avoid a public relations disaster. Now, exactly how they get to that, and when they get to that point, is what I don't have a crystal ball to tell you."

Italian mafia suspect arrested in Britain
British police say they have arrested a convicted Mafia boss who has been sought by Italian authorities for almost 20 years.
London's Metropolitan Police force says 64-year-old Domenico Rancadore was detained Wednesday on a European arrest warrant. He is due to appear at a London court on Thursday for an extradition hearing.
Police say Rancadore is wanted in Italy to serve an outstanding seven-year sentence "for participation in Mafia association" in Sicily between 1987 and 1995. He went on the run in 1994 and was later convicted in his absence in Italy.
Italy's Interior Ministry said that Rancadore was chief of the Sicilian Mafia, or Cosa Nostra, in Trabia, Sicily, in the 1990s.
It said he had been running a travel agency while living in London.

Author Huysmans's Book Reviews
Jean is a 40 year old civil servant in 1880's Paris. He is friendless, familyless and single. He rails against the misery of his life. He survives the drudgery of his job by going for walks in the evening and eating out at a bad local eatery. But when he tires of this he sets out further afield and explores other restaurants but they are equally squalid and the food dismal. He is however almost content in his lonely existence and is happy not to be...

Yep, another day on the travel route ending in Virginia.
This morning we arose at the home of Joseph and Alyson Shepperd, but we were alone. Now if you want to know kindness, they gave up their bed and slept on cushions on the living room floor for us. If that is not sacrifice for your brother I do not know what is. That is true religion!
When we awoke, they had already left for work. We were tired enough that we slept in until about 9:30. We arose and got ready for the day and finally headed out a little after 10:00.
We made our way to Liberty, Missouri which was near. We paid a visit to the Liberty Jail and went through the visitors center there. It was a good tour and then we watched the new Joseph Smith movie. It was very, very good. I was really moved by it. What it especially powerful is parts of the film that are depicted, we were actually on site. It was moving to realize you were
only feet away from where the actual events occurred.
only feet away from where the actual events occurred.
After Liberty we headed off to the temple site at Independence, Missouri. I have to admit, I like attending the spot, but I have never cared much for the visitor centers there. The Community of Christ visitor centers are hollow, and it seems like the LDS one's cover only superficially, or skirt around what is really there. While I have great respect for the site, I just feel that nothing
is really worthy of the site that is currently present. Perhaps someday. I surely hope so.
is really worthy of the site that is currently present. Perhaps someday. I surely hope so.
We took Noland road out, hopped back on I-70 and headed south to Branson. We stopped, ate, picked up some fuel, shopped for souvenirs and headed the rest of the way. For some reason or another I felt really tense and really wanted to get to our destination, especially where it was so close.
Passing near Collins, Missouri I started watching out for the road to get to my cousin's home. I knew it was in Humansville (actually Arnica) and should visit. Well, I took M, when I should have taken N, and ended up 20 miles off the mark. For nearly 3 hours we searched before we finally found my families home. When I did find a signal to call, I phoned Bryan, Amanda's Dad, to ask for direction. He told us we were supposed to be going off of N rather than M, so we backtracked and headed off that direction. But before he could have mentioned AA to me, if he would have, we lost our signal. So we wandered for a long time before we figured out we also needed AA. When I finally found what was familiar, then we got lost in the maze of roads on their property! Ugh. By the time we were there, the sun was getting closer to setting so now I was antsy to get going so we could get out of the country before having to wander all night. Nonetheless, Tammy was taking her family to Stockton for fireworks so we were able to follow her out.
We ended up showing at Branson a several hours late. Jason and Mara Hughes still had the chili on for us and we enjoyed a meal with them. We ate and visited until about midnight thirty. We then headed off to Andy and Becky Hughes house to stay the night. We stayed up and visited with them until 2:00 AM about everything from birth control the Liken the Scripture movies and people we know in them. Funny where people you know end up.
Anyhow, it is time to crash for the day. Tomorrow (now today) is our day of rest.

We get those lame, little ones at the grocery store that cost a $1 with wax "chocolate" inside of them, because I always think I'll build something awesome and then never do.
And then. . . BEHOLD!:
Punch A Bunch Christmas Advent? This will be mine. Oh yes. This will be mine.
I'm gonna use this every year, so of course I want it sturdy. Turned to my scraps in the gay-rage.
Used a piece of quarter inch plywood. Because if you know me, you know I always have quarter inch plywood hanging around. It's just so useful!
Just in case you wanted to know: I spaced my circles 5" apart from the center, and the circle size I used is 3". I used the circular drill bit I was supposed to give back to the Daddy-o a long time ago and still haven't. . .sorry Daddy-o.
Ew. Now it's time to paint. You know? I don't have to hate to paint. I just. . . if I just never had to tape anything off. Or cut anything in. Or paint little nooks and crannies. And if everything just needed only one coat. And if everything was just a straight, flat wall. And the roller never needed to be reloaded with paint.
And if it wasn't my arm.
So! I painted this here board, and stamped some numbers on there.
(Oh, look! I finally finished my glass tile backsplash! And, I got my sink all cleaned up, too! Some things actually get finished around here! But we'll talk about that later.)
Here's where I tell you that I originally had plans to make an awesome "case" for this. Have a base, some sides-- even a backing to hide everything behind it. I'd run those pieces of wood through the table saw-- make a groove so you can slide the front in and out. . . wow.
Then I came to my senses. I'd make a relatively free project cost a fortune, weigh a thousand pounds, take 10 times longer, and be hard to store. Hellllloooo.
Maybe next year I'll make it better.
(Note: this will never happen.)
I took these cups I found at the dollar store, slightly larger than the openings, and placed little treats inside.
These treats may or may not be old Halloween candy, because I forgot to purchase treats. If that disgusts you, well, then. . . that's not what I did.
Covered 'em with tissue paper and secured with a rubber band. . .and. . .voila.
I seriously underestimated the excitement factor for this calendar. Kids flipped a coin over who punch a bunch's first. I might even use this for birthdays.
