So, at this point the NHL Lockout is driving me nuts. Without hockey games to analyze, line-combinations to explain, hot-streaks to debunk and unfair criticisms of Alain Vigneault to shit on – I'm left scraping the bottom of the barrel to manufacture blog content. Today's post arguably represents my lowest point (but realistically the lockout is only 70 days old, so I still have plenty of time to go even lower).
There are now more daily users on Instagram than there are on Twitter, and for the most part, people use Instagram the way Twitter's critics suggest Tweeters use Twitter (by which I mean that Instagram is 80% pictures of food).
For Canucks fans, Instagram appears to be used primarily to share photos of them meeting their favorite player, photos of their newest Canucks gear, of them and their friends cheering on the team, or to take pictures of weed with a Canucks lighter vaguely included in the photo. And all of these photos are shared with the hashtag: "#Canucks."
My favorite type of "#Canucks" tagged Instagram photo, however, are the photos from pet owners dressing their pets, children and snowmen up like real people. So I decided to curate the best, of the best cute Canucks supporters on Instagram. Enjoy!
13. Little Canucks Fan in Moose Toque goes Grocery Shopping!
This photo was shared by Instagrammer @hyacinthsuzuki and features their nephew, adorned the most Canadian gear imaginable, in the shopping cart kids seat at Costco. It's pretty precious.
12. Cold Dog in Canucks Sweater
@ernie143 uploaded this photo of their freezing cold dog in a Canucks weater, and it's fricking adorable. It's quite fitting that this puppy was cold because its tweety-bird eyes, for whatever reason, remind me an awful lot of the squirrel in Ice Age.
11. Sevens is Ready!
"Sevens," this squee-worthy pup belonging to Instagram user @JenQuynh can't wait for the 2012-13 NHL season to start. Sadly at this rate, he'll be waiting, and waiting and waiting… Which is a travesty because look at his little face!
10. Kid hugs former Canucks Defenseman Pooh Bear
What's more adorable than teddy bears? Babies. What's more adorable than babies? Babies hugging teddy bears. That's just science, folks.
In this photo from @rack_citychick, "Gracie" hugs her pooh bear, and her pooh bear is sporting the West Coast Express era crimson and navy Canucks sweater. One would've expected Winnie to be a Jets fan considering his origins, but when the team moved he adopted the Manitoba Moose and with them their parent club the Vancouver Canucks. Even with the Jets returning to his hometown, Winnie has tuck with his new team and we applaud him for making the right decision.
9. Silly Little Pug Mistakes Handtowel for Blanket
D'awww it's a pug sleeping with a Canucks blanket… Wait a minute, that's not a real blanket, that's a hand-towel. Oh my goodness that little pup is TINY! D'awww… (Image via @mishbrow).
8. Pimp Snowman is a Canucks fan
Instagrammer @bergie8 misses the snow, and her team – so she recently uploaded this classic photo prominently featuring her "too-cool-for-school" Canucks fan snowman, two adorable spaniels and presumably herself.
Personally I find snowmen cute, especially when they've got a lopsided, indifferent smile and bro sun glasses. And anyway, those two spaniels clinch it.
7. Photogenic Little Guy
On first glance one might think this a standard "cute pet wearing Canucks gear" photo. But because of this pups human like eyes and professional model quality pose – it's so, so much more than that.
How does one train a dog to look alluringly over their shoulder like that? Via @Dimssum
6. Best Friends
This is an example of what Vancouver riot police refer to as "the cavalry." Not really, but cute kid riding cute dog wearing a Canucks jersey? That's a slam dunk inclusion on this list.
5. This Dog Gets All of the Ladies
This grumpy looking gus was apparently just chilling during the 2010-11 playoff run and garnering a fair bit of attention. The photo was uploaded by @Shawna_Noel who commented on the photo (in a conversation with a friend) that: "remember this dog? Haha that guy could of gotten any chick because his damn dog was soo cute."
So let this be a lesson to you men, always fish with furry, adorable, wrinkly-faced dynamite.
4. Just Call me Roary Fitzpatcat
This little cat finishes higher up on this list than it otherwise might because of the variety of its poses here. In the first photo it's all business, lazily lying around on the ground but with that hint of "I could pounce on something if I wanted, I just don't feel like it" attitude typical of housecats. In the second photo it's just lying on its back looking for a hug, and fuck me if that isn't cute as hell.
Now the only question is which West Coast Express era Canuck skater most resembles this kitten? Is it Meowrkus Naslund, TrevPurr Linden or Trent Katt? Via @SamularWilson.
3. Little Fin's Halloween
Via @bondiecamozzi, a picture of a dear little boy, dressed up as baby Fin for halloween. The costume is unreal, and the look of the kid's "check out my pimp Halloween custome" glee in the photo on the right makes this photo over-the-top charming. On the other hand, in the photo on the right, I'm worried that he's flashing a gang sign…
2. Canucks Boxer.
Maybe I'm biased because I absolutely adore Boxers, but I can't imagine a better looking pup and I appreciate the way he's wearing the early-90s Canucks spaghetti logo the wrong way around (so that his back is emblazoned).
Also look at those sweet, blood-shot eyes and his frowny little face… My goodness what an awesome animal. Via @tilton93.
1. Baby Hef: a big Canucks fan.
They make Canucks bathrobes? I'm so very, very jealous of this little kid's hockey blogger attire. Via @Robinacko.

The Web Guy Goes on the Road
San Francisco has arguably has more sights to see per square mile then any other city west of the Mississippi, but for one weekend a year the best sights to see are a couple miles south of downtown at the legendary Cow Palace. You would be hard pressed to find an event with more variety then the San Francisco Rod, Custom and Motorcycle Show. With a whopping nine buildings to work with, the show can cater to all tastes from the wild and wooly motorcycle crowd, street rodders and homebuilt hot rods in the Suede section. So when I had the opportunity to head out to one of my favorite cities, and go to a great car show I obviously jumped at the chance. Check out all the pictures below to check out the best the bay area has to offer.

Indigo contains fuchsia pink and light blue dot and small glitter in an indigo jelly base with subtle pink shimmer. I'm not a huge fan of pink glitter, since I feel like it makes me look too girly, but I love the result on my nails - the indigo base really tones it down. The dot glitter was also a surprise - they look a bit like hexes from a distance, but close up they're perfectly round, quite unusual. I don't think I own any other polishes with this sort of glitter in it!
Some of the other Glam Polishes are seriously covetable - the glitter combinations are amazing, and Rachel takes the best macro shots! Look at Lucy, for instance:
Unfortunately I've been a bit of a tease to you international girls - Glam Polish is only shipping in Australia at the moment, so find a swap buddy stat! :P Aussie girls, she's just done a restock - click here to get in on the action!

|Scout Rock - looking a bit Easter Islandy
|Ben Lomond
|Lochgoilhead, under The Steeple - Scout Rock at the centre
After decades of sleepwalking through life, I've finally woken up and realised the greatest dreams are achieved with open eyes and a conscious mind...
|Scout Rock - looking a bit Easter Islandy
|Ben Lomond
|Lochgoilhead, under The Steeple - Scout Rock at the centre
Lovely! Live for the moment!ReplyDelete
Beautiful, Les.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom and pictures.
Beautiful. How lucky to be able to walk there.ReplyDelete
"Even mountains crumble and fall", brilliant Les, love your blog updatesReplyDelete
It's a very nice post about your hobbit like trip! I wish I could take one too! I am sorry for the loss of your friend. That must have been difficult. I could almost smell the air myself and I thank you so much for allowing me to see the pics you took! I have a lot of Scottish in me, perhaps that's why I'm so drawn. I know it's not the same as being from there. Still it is a beautiful place, I can see why you are inspired!
Your friend and fan,
So glad you were able to make the trip and absorb the serenity. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
We were there last year for a weeks break and it truly is the most serene beautiful place, your photos have brought back memories for me to. Thank youReplyDelete
Absolutely fantastic blog!!! Glad I found it! Love it!!!
Lola x
Thank you for sharing! When one awakens, everything is even more magical!ReplyDelete
I do not know you but I know you now. The loss of a wonderful and exuberant friend has touched us both and your words were such a comfort because she will not be forgotten. She loved Lochgoilhead too.ReplyDelete
Les, you have to be a writer to write as beautiful as you do! So deep and right. Looking at your second picture, the one with the turnstile, reminds me of a visit to Ireland in 2008, where I hiked up volcano Slieve Gullion with my daughter and two friends. We started out in fog and rain, then the curtain lifted while we were on top and presented the most unbelievable panorama for a minute, long enough to take pictures. The fog came back, we got hopelessly lost on the way down, fog lifted, found our path, then hiked down in the biggest downpour every experienced. Ah, Irland...
I follow you on twitter, I am Katzbrui
Would like to send you some pictures of Slieve Gullion, where to? Later, Uta Burke
Thank you, Ari! :-)ReplyDelete
Thank you, as always, Eden - you Hobbit-sized bundle of loveliness! :) xoxoxReplyDelete
Thank you, Ellis! Yes, I feel fortunate to have returned. It's like my batteries have been recharged with the magic of the place. :-)ReplyDelete
Thank you, Neil - I really appreciate that. :-)ReplyDelete
It is, Patti. There's such a peace to places like that, but this is my favourite of them all. Would happy to be your host if you came over here, some day, to see them for yourself! :-)ReplyDelete
Thank you, Cyndi! :-)ReplyDelete
Ah, Penny, I'm glad they took you back for a moment. I'll never tire of looking at those mountains. :-)ReplyDelete
Thank you so much, Lola! Loved yours, too! Can't find the follow button, though. :-SReplyDelete
Thank you for reading, Joan! :-)ReplyDelete
Beautiful words, Anon. Yes, she did. :-)ReplyDelete
Hi Uta! That sounds literally breathtaking. Must have been wonderful to behold! I was caught at the top of Ben Lomond in March as the weather turned. It was spring 1000ft lower, but I got blasted by winter and sideways snow up there. Was amazing to see, but I wish I'd worn arctic gear. :-)ReplyDelete
I enjoyed reading about your spiritual experience. Funny how mountains can reach through to your soul. Nature has her way with us. Sometimes it isn't pretty. Still, She is always honest. I lost my lovely Sister to fast moving pancreatic cancer. You have my deepest sympathies.ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos. I'd like to see these places for myself one day. :)ReplyDelete
An amazing dose of early morning reading for me, erased all my negative thoughts, precisely what I needed. Thanks xReplyDelete
What a beautiful post; makes me want to jump on the train right now! RIP Anne, what a sad loss.ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos! Scotland is the one place I've always wanted to visit. Even just the pictures are inspiring. I can't wait to actually see them. I will get to see them someday. Thank you for sharing. :)ReplyDelete
As a woman raised in the fifties in Canada, I accepted the chauvinistic world. I adored my father and two brothers. Imitating them,I lived and worked using my logical left brain.
Now I am a writer, and dig deep to awaken the emotional and creative right brain. Your post stirred me, and filled me with longing. A bit of mist in the eyes as well. Thank you for the gift, and the pictures.
I dream to visit Scotland someday. I am always happy to resd something you tweet....Thank You~~
Cyndy (@coffissa on twitter)
A great part of the world, I know it well. The holiday complex is owned by a friend of mine.
Far removed from this rolling landscape here in SW France, not many days go by when I dont mist the mountains of West Scotland. October is my favourite time of year there, the colours and the air are just prefect.
Such legendary landscapes! A visit there is at the very top of my personal bucket list! Thank you for sharing...ReplyDelete
Oh, Les, you have absoulutely made my resolve to travel to Scotland next summer fueled. Mother Earth is the great healer, for both body and soul. Thank you for sharing your journey.ReplyDelete
This is amazing Les. Scotland is so beautiful and breathtaking. We used to travel to Loch Lomond every year, but now I am hankering to go further to see this! Certainly a piece of paradise. Thanks for sharing.
Jane Isaac
That's a gorgeous shot you're using for your background. Simply stunning. Thanks for taking me back to Scotland and the highlands. I've been a couple of times but it has been too long.ReplyDelete
Beautiful so peacefulReplyDelete
Fantastic! I've hiked the West Highland Way on the other side of Loch Lomond, but have never been to the west there. It looks beautiful! Can you recommend any hiking trails around your old town?
hello Les, i spent 2 weeks with my school as a child, it is a place i will never forget, i am a scot, a fifer actually but have spent all of my adult life south of the border, it is only flashbacks from my childhood that keep me away from my home and family.i read about your awakening and it makes me want to strive for that life.the trouble is it always ends badly for me and i feel like a failure all over again.keep writing and inspiring others,you are indeed a rare gem,bless you. best wishes, mary xReplyDelete
What a beautiful, magical place, Les. Scotland has always been on my list of places to visit, your words and your pictures have jumped the visit up the queue. I've tried to convince my writing group that a summer spent in the Scottish Highlands, in a haunted castle, preferably, would make the perfect writing retreat. Not sure how much writing we'd get done...
Rest in peace, Anne.
Beautiful! I visited Scotland once, and I think the entire country is magical. As a writer myself, this sounds like a place I need to visit for a little inspiration!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the photos, I live in Florida originally from Alabama, of Scots-Irish descent. When I see your pictures, it feels like home. DanReplyDelete
Gorgeous, Les! One of these days ...ReplyDelete
wonderful... makes me wanna go there.. loved the photosReplyDelete
Oh how beautiful - I loved reading this. I'm on the Scottish South West Coast and LOVE my trips up north. I look forward to reading more xReplyDelete
My Mum, Dad and I visited there on our massive world trip from Oz with my Scottish cousin many years ago..Your description brought back some very fond memories and I will certainly return there again : )ReplyDelete
I am fascinated by this Les. I think I started reading your blog before the "awakening." May I ask, what was the catalyst? My mother's family is from Scotland and I have always wanted to take her for a visit. She turns 71 this year. My 14-year-old son Alex also really wants to go to Scotland. Have you ever read "Kingdom by the Sea" by Paul Theroux? One thing he says about Scotland is that it was the one place he visited that he wanted to return to with someone he loved.
For now, I am living vicariously through you :-) Thanks for this post.
Thanks Les,
I have loved that place since I first visited over 40 years ago. Much easier to stay now given the expansion of the chalet complex which has not spoiled the beauty of the loch and the mountains.
Loved this post. Brought back memories of many family holidays taken there when our kids were young. Special place indeed.ReplyDelete
Hi Les, Happy New Year to you first of all ;-) I was fortunate enough to catch your tweet which led me to this post, and like before, I'm always greatful that you shared your vision and musings. This was awesome, I could see what you were seeing and feel your peacefulness. It is a spectacular location, I'm happy for you that it's a part of your experience. Thanks for sharing another great piece.ReplyDelete

Beef is what's for Christmas dinner in many Bay Area households, but rising prices may soon push some families to swap their prime rib for chicken breast.
Shoppers mobbed the meat counters in grocery stores and neighborhood markets Monday to pick up a cut of beef for the centerpiece of Christmas dinner. Hidden from the shoppers who browsed the thick slabs of pink meat ready for roasting is the tumult in the beef industry, where a sharp decline in the number of cattle headed for slaughter has sent prices to record highs.
Those higher costs have nudged up prices ever so slightly at some grocers, and analysts predict beef prices will soon hit new highs at stores and restaurants.
November choice beef prices for retail were up about 3 percent over a year ago and 2.4 percent from the month before, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. Grocers and retailers said they are bracing themselves for 2013's beef prices.
"I don't even want to think about it," said Daniel Zanotto, one of the owners of Zanotto's Family Market in San Jose. "I've got to pay the bills."
Keeping the lights on should be easy for the family grocer this year anyway, as Zanotto and his crew scrambled to keep up with a throng of customers Monday.
Anna Martorana, of San Jose, was in the store to pick up a prime rib roast for dinner that cost $57.
"We do it every year," she said. "It's a tradition."
She's not alone. At grocery stores and ethnic markets across the Bay Area, meat counters were mobbed with customers who waited for a carefully chosen cut of meat. Their menus varied, including family recipes, ethnic traditions and flavors from across the world.
But they all had one thing in common — beef.
While beef consumption has fallen steadily in the U.S., with Americans becoming more health-conscious and the "pink slime" controversy over treated meat driving more people to alternatives like fish, Christmas remains an exception, according to butchers and grocery retailers around the Bay Area.
Even San Jose resident Valli Horwitz, who said she rarely has meat in her house and a daughter who is a vegan, was at Zanotto's to splurge for a sirloin.
Daniel Olveda, who works in the meat department at Sprouts Farmers Market in Walnut Creek, explained the appetite for beef at Christmas like this: "It's the same as the Thanksgiving turkey."
Shoppers were bolder in their meat selections at Mi Pueblo Food Center in Palo Alto. The expansive meat department features exotic choices like beef tongue and pig feet, along with the more standard beef fare. Shoppers walked away with bursting four- and five-pound plastic bags of beef and pork and said they were heading home to make tamales and posole, a traditional Mexican stew. The bags cost about $12 each. Shopper Francisco Ochoa, of Palo Alto, said he goes to Mi Pueblo because it's cheaper.
Regional retailers and ethnic markets are able to keep down the prices a bit better than larger chains. Some, like Zanotto's, deal directly with a single beef supplier and can negotiate better deals. Others say they have to offer holiday specials and discounts to survive in the ultracompetitive grocery market — which is why the price increases have yet to really hit consumers in the Bay Area and shoppers say they're spending about the same as last year.
Zanotto said his store lost money by keeping costs low for customers after beef prices started to rise but finally bowed to market pressures and raised prices by 20 percent last year, and there's no guarantee they won't go up again. Supermarket industry expert David Livingston said other retailers will soon have no choice but to pass the price onto the customer.
"A lot of producers are eating the cost now, but they'll make it up down the road," he said.
And there's a lot to make up. Choice-beef prices have been running above year-ago levels for every month this year, and some experts have said the high prices are just a taste of what is to come. Droughts have driven up the price of cattle feed, and with reports of dry forecasts next year, some fear more loss of the nation's cattle herds.
Many shoppers are willing to splurge at Christmas. Joel Wealty, of Sunnyvale, said he's willing to spend a bit extra for a good prime rib: "It's a little more expensive to get a quality piece of meat. But it's worth it."
But shoppers on a budget or with extra-large dining room tables, like those at El Pueblo who said they were shopping for four or five families and preparing dinner for 30, may rethink their menu next year.
It may be turkey or chicken — even pasta — that's what's for dinner.

The Dancing with the Stars pros relax before the all-star season begins next month
They don't head back to the ballroom for another few weeks, but Derek Hough, Karina Smirnoff and Cheryl Burke already look to be in top form.
The Dancing with the Stars pros were able to relax – and flash their fit physiques – with a little fun in the sun over the weekend in Las Vegas.
The Asahi Super Dry Beer summer takeover kicked off Friday at Marquee Nightclub, where the trio, sat at a VIP table and drank beer. The fun continued on Saturday at Marquee Dayclub, where the pros chilled in a poolside cabana while listening to the sounds of the EC Twins, who provided the soundtrack to the party.
"They all were having a great time, relaxing before the season starts up," a source tells PEOPLE. "There were times when you would see Karina and Derek jump behind the deejay booth, taking photos along with dancing and laughing."
Dancing's all-star season begins Sept. 24 on ABC.

Can someone lead me to a method for calculating the number of sequences of length $n$ if the terms of the sequence are chosen (with replacement) from a set with $k$-elements under the condition that all $k$-elements are chosen at least once? It's not my field.
I lead myself to consider the recurrence relation $$ R(k,n) = k R(k,n-1) + k R(k-1,n-1) $$ where $R(k,k) = k!, R(k,n) = 0$ if $n \lt k$ and $R(1,n) = 1$ for all $n$, but struggled to close it out. Is there a method for this?
$R(n,k)$ is the number I want, so from my point of view I'm asking one question. From your point of view I'm sure I'm asking two. Many Thanks.

I wrote a poem. Enjoy.
A young man walks down the cold street at night
Though a dangerous place, he does not in slight care
Death would be welcome by this late stage of his youth
Anything to free him of their harsh mocking stares
Why are you going, his parents asked him
Be strong and live on, you can make it through
But he would not hear them this time around
He had already decided what it was high time to do
Or so he thought, but it soon becomes clear
For death itself speaks with the gentlest of voice
Why, boy, should you throw out futures untold
Look beyond hardship, you do have a choice
What choice can I make, is the boy's sad reply
When each time only lets them tell me I'm wrong
When repeated tries beget repeated cries
Please, let me stop singing life's sad song
No, kind death shakes its dark-hooded head
Life's not defined by mistakes that you make
You don't see it yet, but there will come a day
When there will be great things left in your wake
You fail and fail, sure, but you keep trying onward
The struggle of living s made of such stuff
As they laugh you off for what they call shortcomings
One day you will show you are more than enough
Understand, boy, that though life is as hard
As the endless efforts that you will ever put in
Pushing on, reaching forward is where worth lies
Someday, should you live, you'll call life your friend
It's a mentor that makes you ever learn, evermore
So learn on, it's time you spoke in a different tone
So tonight, I'll not let you choose what can't be undone
And leave you, and hope next time you'll choose on your own
The boy stands there dumbstruck, without argument
He has no way of knowing what has happened inside
He turns around and walks back to the comfort of home
He steps stiffly at first, soon in confidence strides
He grows taller within, and his person changes after
For he just faced his death with a despairing heart
But when death stares you down and tells you to live
Then all that's left is for you is a brand new start.

Ameren Illinois personnel are working to restore power to about 10,000 customers across the state who have lost power due to the winter storm.
Locally, about 500 Ameren customers in Macoupin County near Staunton were without power between 4 and 10 a.m. Monday, emergency management officials in that county said.
Another 28 customers in Montgomery County were without power Monday afternoon, Ameren�s website said.
Ameren officials said snow packed roads and strong winds are slowing restoration efforts and making it difficult to reach equipment.
�Crews are doing the best they can in dangerous conditions to restore power to impacted areas,� said Ron Pate, senior vice president of Operations and Technical Services for Ameren Illinois. �We are employing every possible measure, including working with local transportation officials and bringing in ATVs to reach our equipment in areas where roads are impassable. We will continue to be in the field until all power is restored, but the safety of our customers and personnel continues to be priority number one.�
Residents are reminded to watch for and avoid downed electrical wires. Furthermore, stay away from brush, downed trees and limbs and any debris that may conceal downed power lines.
Call Ameren Illinois at 1-800-755-5000 to report downed wires.
Outage information is available at IllinoisOutage.com. Those using mobile devices are invited to visit Ameren.Mobi for outage information. This site is specially designed for mobile devices.

Paid PvE to PvP Server Transfers
I am oddly mixed about this development. On the one hand, I've levelled a character on both server types, and the experience on a PvP server is very different. Unleashing hordes of carebears who think they're something special onto a PvP server, and letting them gank without having had the experience of being the gankee ... well, something inside me rebels at that thought.
There is a certain type of player on PvE servers who is very boastful about PvP prowess. The type of person who'll kill a lowbie Horde who's flagged accidentally, or gank an obviously-AFK Alliance Holy Priest sitting outside a raid instance*, and then start to brag about how "leet" they are. And you sit there and think, "So why aren't you on a PvP server? Oh, that's right, because you'd get beaten into the ground by people who know how to play." The PvP realms are going to plagued by this type of player.
*This was quite funny when three minutes later the entire Alliance raid boiled out of the instance, fully flagged, and proceeded to wipe out every flagged Horde who had hurt their priest. As I was not flagged, this brand of karma amused me greatly.
But on the flip side, the division was really hurting the raiding guilds on the PvE servers. For some reason--probably because Achiever/Killers tend to be very good players--the best raiding guilds have always been found on PvP servers. This has made it very hard for PvE guilds to recruit, as PvP people will not transfer, not even for a trial, because it's a one-way trip. More and more, high end raiding is coalescing around the PvP servers, and that is hurting the PvE servers.
I think the turning point came with the guild Juggernaut of Doomhammer. Juggernaut was one of the premier guilds on a PvE server, but they were having serious trouble recruiting for Sunwell. They managed to get Kil'Jaeden down to 30% before giving up. The entire guild rerolled on the PvP server Mal'Ganis as Juggernaut II. Juggernaut II blew through the raiding scene and downed Kil'Jaeden four months after rerolling.
Maybe if the high end hadn't been so slanted towards PvP, things would have worked out. If the best guilds were distributed evenly between server types, maybe the wall could have been preserved. But this change was probably necessary in order for high-end raiding to survive on PvE servers.
On a personal level, this change has affected me. Three months ago, I was invited to join a raiding guild on a PvP server. I liked the guild, but as it was a PvP server, I ended up making another paladin on that server. I've tried to level it, but my heart really wasn't in it. I managed to make it to 55.
The thing was that this new paladin wasn't my main, and that turned out to be really important to me. It wasn't the paladin I killed Ragnaros and Nefarian with, the character that I've been playing for multiple years, wasn't the character I played back when we had Seal of Fury, the character that was in Defender of the Crown, the character with all my keys and attunements and my Knight-Captain title, my 8/8 Lightforge, and the character I learned to raid with. Yeah, they're not exactly impressive achievements, but still, it was my main, and that ended up meaning a lot to me.
So I've been levelling this new paladin desultorily (also, paladin levelling is extremely boring, which didn't help) and had been slowly realizing that I didn't really want to play a new paladin. That I wanted to play Coriel. Then this change was announced. The first thing I did upon coming home was to delete the new paladin and transfer Coriel to the PvP server.
So in the end I'm not sure what to think about PvE to PvP transfers. I somehow don't think it was a good change, but it may have been a necessary change. And it has allowed me to continue to play my main into Wrath of the Lich King, for which I am very grateful.

Why couldnt they have done this sooner?ReplyDelete
Now I've gone and leveled my replacement druid to 67 ...
I leveled PvP and then got sucked into the PvE world by my RL friends. It was funny before arena started to see the idiots on the PvE servers not blinking stuns or not bleed kiting warriors and all sorts of oddities. Pallies weren't smacking the bandaging warriors while they were bubbled on PvE servers for god sakes.ReplyDelete
Anyway, my old PvP server died off and I don't have anew one so I guess I am chilling on PvE for now. =)
I have a slightly different problem . . . which even the PvE to PvP cannot solve.ReplyDelete
many of my friends are on horde ... and even though i lvld a lock to 42 there, i still don't know why, but i keep going back to my main on the alliance side !
- Anonymous5:57 AM, September 12, 2008
This change sucks. So many people could of used this feature when transfers first came out. Also I spent hours of /played doing corpse runs because some 13 year old rogue wanted to get his kicks. Suck my ass blizzard.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous6:12 AM, September 12, 2008
I think its a good change. I would also like to see Alliance->Horde transfers. And I'd like to transfer my mage to a warlock.ReplyDelete
I don't think the argument of the ganker while never having been the gankee holds up if you know how a PvP server works.ReplyDelete
For the most part we don't mind ganking too much, as long as there is no camping or harassment going on. If this happens a call usually goes out in general chat and the offending ganker quickly has high level players making his life a living hell until he leaves.
If anyone uses this new transfer policy just so they can gank lowbees, they're going to quickly learn the rules and might not find it as fun anymore.

It's sad and a slap in the face to PVP players.ReplyDelete
The bottom line is money. Blizzard will remove an artificial barrier that prevents them from obtaining continued subscribers and also to prevent them from leaving for Warhammer Age of Reckoning.
I don't mind the change.ReplyDelete
My first "real" character was on a PvP server (UD Warlock). You were taught to always have your guard up, and always think of ways of beating someone if they jumped you (or, you jumped them). While you're doing quests and you see a rogue, and notice he disappeared...you made sure to refresh you detect invis. It more or less taught you situational awareness.
I then started a character on a PvE server. And, that entire aspect of the game was removed. And, I liked it...a lot. I could actually do quests, and speed my way to 70 without worry. In some ways it made the game slightly more enjoyable as I was able to soak up the game/quest experiences.
Though, I hadn't really ever thought about it before. I suppose PvP servers do teach you a bit more about how to play your character in various situations.
This type of player have existed on PvP realms for a long time. They just don't stay long. :-PReplyDelete
The culture of the server community is important on how things will shape up. In Mannoroth (US), the ganker never gankee can find a sweet spot because rarely higher levels come to the gankee defense. In Ragnaros (LA), a call for help against a ganker rarely goes unanswered.
- Fio of Skywall7:39 PM, September 14, 2008
Awww, I didn't know you left Skywall.ReplyDelete
Best of luck on your new server!
On the subject of Pve players coming to Pvp servers. Even if they have 70's, if they don't have arena gear, "real" pvp players will eat them alive. If they have arena gear, they know how to pvp, so they could have played on pvp all along.ReplyDelete
From a game enjoyment standpoint, I am totally a carebear, I only came back to a pvp server because thats where my friends are at. At the time I made the switch, being able to quest in peace was preferrable to playing with my friends. I have since switched stances.
Also, as a previous poster stated, my PvE characters are alliance and my Pvp characters are horde, so a transfer wouldnt be any help.
- Anonymous4:29 PM, September 18, 2008
Not me, tried and true, blue, pvp-server veteran. Yes it's annoying getting ganked by skull players you have no chance against, but some of the funnest times in WoW have been random wrold-pvp battles that started out of nowhere. You're slogging through mind-numbing quests and BAM! the fun hits! Especially at 30's and 40's where level doesn't make as big a differance. Plus there's nothing like rolling up as a guild and raping some asshat that's ganking a guildie, or killing that 50-somehting running around arathi highlands/hillsbrad, you know why they're there. I've tried PvE servers, but right about level 25 when you meet the first player from the opposite side, and you can't attack them, and more often than not you wind up actually HELPING each other on quests... not my cup o' tea.ReplyDelete
So part of me is sad that they're doing this, but on the other hand, I know a LOT of people that had dead toons stuck on PvE servers, and people that transfered to PvE servers not thinking that they could come back and now actually can.

One Wire Fits All With Limeworks' New Pulse Jet Wiring System
If you've ever wired a project car from scratch, you'll know what it's like to feel a little panic set in when you have wires absolutely everywhere and a couple of bundles of wire about 3/4 inch in diameter that you have to run to the front and rear of the vehicle. Not only do you have to find a route to run all these wires, but you want to run them neatly and usually have to run them one at a time. It's a tedious, time-consuming task and very labor-intensive. Now imagine if you only had to run one or two wires to the front of the vehicle, the same to the rear, and then hook up the wiring to the engine. Yeah, wouldn't that be nice?
Well now you can, thanks to the same technology used in OEM vehicles. Limeworks' new Pulse Jet system employs three modules-one at the rear for the lights, turn signals, fuel pump, and whatever else you have back there, one at the front for the lights, turn signals, horn, fan relay, and whatever, and the main module in the interior-with a dedicated wire assigned the task of communicating digital messages to the modules. This means you only have to run a single wire to each end of the vehicle from the main module, plus a power feed wire to each module from the battery.
Modern OEM vehicles that use this kind of technology use one of two systems: CAN (Controller Area Network) or LIN (Local Interconnect Network). LIN is used for low-speed devices, while there are two speeds for CAN, CAN-A being medium speed and CAN-B being high speed. This allows three speeds between the two systems, the speed determining how much information can be sent in a given period of time. For instance, a video player would require a high-speed system. Limeworks' Pulse Jet is a LIN-based system, as the majority of hot rods don't use high-speed devices, mainly requiring only lights and motors to be turned on or off. The advantage of a LIN system is that the parts are relatively inexpensive, as the OEM manufacturers buy so many of them. It's recommended that you don't try to interface with old trans and engine modules with this system though, as they are higher data rate devices.
The big advantage of using the Pulse Jet over a regular wiring harness is that you'll be able to accomplish wiring a car in less than a day, rather than the week it can often take, and having wired cars from scratch in the past, we can only see that as a good thing! Wanting to see the Pulse Jet in action, so to speak, we followed along as Limeworks proprietor Steve Dennish installed the first preproduction system in his own '32 roadster, just days before the Grand National Roadster Show.

HUDSON — The next phase of a walking trail system throughout Hudson was authorized by the Hudson City Council at its meeting Tuesday.
The council approved a pathway from North Maple Grove Avenue to Meadowbrook Drive that will be known as the Sunrise Meadows Trail. City manager Steve Hartsel said the city has been approved for a $107,000 congestion mitigation and air quality grant from the state. The trail will be routed around Our Saviour Lutheran Church
and Hudson High School, with the city expecting to get permanent easements from both.
The Sunrise Meadows Trail is the third of a series of trails to promote exercise and less use of emissions-producing vehicles. The Findlay Trail was constructed two years ago, while the second path, known as the Murdock Trail, is to be built in the coming months.
A fourth trail connecting to the business park is on the long-range plan for 2014.
Hartsel said the Sunrise Meadows and Murdock trails will be considered daylight trails, meaning they will not be illuminated at night. The Sunrise Meadows Trail is to be constructed in July and August.
In other business
The Hudson City Council on Tuesday also:
— Appointed Carol Davidoff to the board of review with a term to expire in December 2015.
— Heard a report from Hartsel that the new water tower has developed a minor leak at the base. Jones and Henry Engineers of Toledo and the department of public works have inspected the tower and plan to locate and repair the source of the leak. The tower is out of warranty by the construction company that built it, Hartsel said, but the tower is covered under the city's insurance policy.
— Agreed to develop and submit a list of priorities for the 2013 calendar year. The council will present ideas at its Feb. 19 meeting.
Next phase approved for Hudson trail project

By Andria Cheng
Mike Ullman addressed an attentive Wall Street crowd Thursday for the first time since climbing back into the CEO saddle at troubled retailer J.C. Penney Co. /quotes/zigman/237947 /quotes/nls/jcp JCP . He asked for time and patience.
In an hour-long conference call, Ullman, whose return in early April lifted the battered company's stock more than a third, sought to assure investors that the company's "fundamental business prospects remain strong," and its "senior leadership team is now intact."
He also promised "important changes" in the coming months as the company tries to win back customers while getting those still left to spend more.
Under previous CEO Ron Johnson, sales slumped $4.3 billion, leading to a loss of almost $1 billion, the result of such failed moves as dropping sales, coupons and several popular brands.
"I can assure you we are working hard to bring us back to profitable growth," Ullman said. He said he's spoken to a "wide variety of stakeholders" and has asked executives to provide candid, anonymous input.
"We've taken steps to stabilize our business. Our top priority is to drive traffic and increase conversion."
To do that, Ullman said the company will bring back three or four of private label brands that were dropped by his predecessor, including the $1 billion St. John's Bay line that's being returned to stores, and its Ambrielle intimate apparel label.
"Our core is the private label business," he said. "We diminished several of the key brands. We lost a lot of traffic. Our customers told us loud and clear."
Ullman said the merchandise also will be balanced with national brands and what he described as "attractions", or what Johnson had called "shops". He used the Sephora in-store cosmetics shop as an example of consumers paying full price for something they really want. Sephora was a huge hit for Penney's last year, with all of its key metrics rising even as traffic and sales slumped overall.
Ullman said the company also will promote and compete aggressively during 20-plus key shopping dates. On the marketing front, the company has been encouraged by results of a sales campaign tied to Mother's Day that followed an earlier public apology to shoppers it may have alienated over the past year.
"The way to measure our success is traffic," he said. "We are going to compete aggressively."
Online sales present another opportunity, he said, adding that Penney last year incurred a self-inflicted wound by failing to align its online inventory with what could be found in its stores.
Ullman said back to school will be an initial good judge of the company's efforts to get back to the game.
"There's a lot of work to be done," he said. "We are optimistic we can win them back."
With the company just reporting another bigger-than-expected first-quarter loss with an almost 17% drop in comparable sales, Ullman has his work cut out for him.

Today's yarn is made from Greenwood Fiberworks fiber club May 2012, and some SCF Fiber Club February 2012 semi solids "Citrus Splash".
The bases are Polwarth and organic Merino (semi solids). I should have spun up the semi solids in mini skeins (each color is 1oz), and knit some colorwork, but it's too late now.
I made a true 3ply yarn, 407yds, 6oz.
It's quite soft, and squishy. I made a swatch, to see how it would knit up. I like it. I still don't know what I'll knit with it eventually.
I'm not going to wish you a wonderful weekend just yet, because I'll be back tomorrow with a special post. :o)
Until then, be well.

Complacent markets? Certainly, at first glance. The CBOE Vix index, otherwise known as Wall Street\'s fear gauge, is sitting near or below 12 and has been for about two weeks. The last time it was at these levels for a prolonged period was in 2007.
And, yes, we all remember what happened.
Will Lloyd, managing director at VelocityShares (the company behind volatility ETFs) says that low levels of Vix are hiding something worrisome.
"The fact that the Vix is at such low levels does not mean that there is no fear. In fact, we see some signs that there could be market volatility in the future. The cost of being long on volatility has gone up.\"
This refers to the curve or difference between one-month and two-months Vix futures contracts.
\"At the moment, the cost of being long volatility in Vix futures is about 9% per month and the curve has been steepening."
"The fact that the premiums for hedging volatility market are rising sharply suggests that there is fear below the surface," Lloyd said.
Michael Harris, an active trader and author of the Price Action Lab blog, has a different view about the low volatility. In fact, he disputes that it's low and says it is actually high for this type of bull market:
\"The annualized standard deviation of simple returns is 11.1% and much above the 1995 low of 8.28% and the 2006 low of 9.47%. Actually, based on these lows, the volatility is a little high for this type of bull market.\"
Whichever way you look at it, there is almost an eerie uneasiness about calm stock markets.

Japanese Easing Excites Asian Markets

In 1860, Louisa, 3, is enumerated with her family in South Brooklyn:
|Toner family, 1860
In 1865, Louisa is 8 years old:
|Toner family, 1865
In 1870, Louisa, 13, is at school:
In 1875, Louisa, 17, is living with her family, including her married sister Elizabeth and brother-in-law Thomas Loughlin:
|Toner and Loughlin families, 1875
In 1880, I can't find any of the Toner family on the federal census, and in 1892, I can't find anyone but the Loughlins on the NYS census.
After that, the rest of the surviving Toner children - Julia, Elizabeth, and Mary Toner Murphy - show up in census records with their families. But not Louisa. I couldn't find a single record of her until she died in 1918. At some point, she married a man by the name of Deegan, according to both familial memory and her death certificate, but I have no idea what his first name was. Family lore says that he made buttons, but even with that information, city directories have proved no help. Despite the fact that Louisa's death certificate claims that she was a life-long resident of New York City, there was no evidence of her life between her teens and her 50s. For years, the preceding part of this post was all I knew about Louisa.
Louisa's death certificate lists her residence as 391 Baltic St. at her death in 1918, but I've had trouble finding the enumeration for this address in the 1915 NYS Census, even when I page through each sheet of AD 08 ED 02, which is where Steve Morse's AD/ED Finder tool suggests the building should be.
Louisa is buried in a grave with my 2x great-aunt, Auntie Mae; Mae's husband Uncle Johnny; and an infant named Charlotte Reade who seemed unconnected to the rest of the family. I ordered baby Charlotte's death certificate, though, and when it arrived recently, I realized I'd been mistaken. Not only is she not unconnected to the family, but might she be the only connection we have to Mr. Deegan's family?
|Excerpt from the death certificate of Charlotte Reade, Brooklyn NY, 17 July 1918
Charlotte's parents' names are given as John Reade and Minerva Deegan. Her home address, of 391 Warren St., puts her living right around the corner from Louisa's home at 391 Baltic. I didn't know who Minerva Deegan was, but my first guess was that she might be a sister of our Mr. Deegan. The truth never even occurred to me.
I went searching for Minerva Deegan, hoping her unusual first name would be easier to find than a Louisa in a haystack, or a Mr. Deegan whose first name I didn't even know. If I could find a link to the Deegan family through her, it might lead me to Louisa eventually.
That's sort of what happened.
The first record I found was of a Minerva Deegan who was the daughter of "Niele" and Louisa Deegan, living at home with her parents and an Irish-born servant, Mary Doren.
|Deegan Family, 1900
Minerva soon disappears from the Deegan family, and it's probably because she grew up and got married to John Reade. On top of that, "Niele" is not the name by which Mr. Deegan is enumerated through the next few decades. Nonetheless, these Deegans - who had proved so elusive for so long - suddenly started popping up like crocuses in springtime.
|Deegan Family, 1905
|Deegan Family, 1910
|Deegan Family, 1915
I have yet to find more information about Minerva Deegan Reade in the years between when she's enumerated with her parents in 1900 and when her daughter dies in 1918. Despite her unusual name, she isn't showing up easily for me this time around. Stay tuned for an update when, with any luck, I track down the rest of the Deegan and Reade families.

Never before have you been able to run so many great Ragnar Relay races in the North East. Whether it's New York, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C. or New England; wherever you live in the North East there is now a Ragnar Relay in your backyard. With their winning combination of great courses, great fun and years of experience with overnight relays, Ragnar brings FOUR high-quality overnight relays to the North East for you in 2011 – two in the fall and two in the spring. These four are part of the 15-race schedule Ragnar has laid out for 2011.
Grab your team and be the first ones to double up this year.
Ragnar has created a special "Double Header" medal for anyone who runs two of these North East relays in the calendar year. You love the Ragnar experience now be the first to claim bragging rights to the double header. It's a new challenge, an epic challenge and it's ready for you and your epic team to conquer.
The four races in the North East Ragnar Relay series are:
• New England, May 20th -21st, 2011 Yale to Harvard
• New York – May 13th -14th - 2011 – Woodstock to Westchester
• Washington D.C .– September 23rd – 24th, 2011 - Cumberland to Washington DC
• Pennsylvania – October. 7th – 8th, 2011 – Lancaster to Poconos
The North East has always been the epicenter of a strong running community. When this community gets involved with the high-quality Ragnar Relay Races, an excellent experience is guaranteed. It's the perfect communion of running culture and running venues. Mark your calendar now so you don't miss out on this year's double header opportunity—relay running immortality for your team.
It's about friends, challenge and fun…
Anyone who has run an overnight relay race will tell you that it is something that they will never forget. Running an overnight relay race forges friendships through shared experience. Whether running, riding in the van or relaxing at a transition area, you will learn a lot about yourself and your crew.
Running an overnight relay race is just plain fun—a unique experience. Running two or more will be unbelievable; and you learn so much the first time around. Teams get prizes for decorating their vans or dressing up in costumes. It's an opportunity to let down your hair a little bit as you encourage and cheer your teammates along the course. The dynamics of physical challenge combined with camaraderie and fun makes for a perfect stew of experience that you will cherish forever.
Why a Ragnar Relay?
Ragnar is a pioneer in creating the fun and challenge of the overnight relay.
"You and 11 of your closest friends running day and night, relay-style, through some of the most scenic terrain North America can muster. Add in live bands, inside jokes and a mild case of sleep deprivation. The result? Some call it a slumber party without sleep, pillows or deodorant. We call it a Ragnar Relay!"
The depth of experience of the Ragnar organization sets them apart from other events. Ragnar has the most experience in overnight relays, and is by far the largest such organization going. They bring you the best courses, 15 events in 11 months, the best amenities and the best quality experience. Ragnar began organizing overnight relays more than seven years ago. They are experts at what they do and this makes the Ragnar experience fun, safe and worthwhile.
The Ragnar Relay has become a trusted brand, synonymous with overnight relays. There is now an enthusiastic community of fans who love to run Ragnar Relays every year. There are other relays, but Ragnar has years of experience with many successful events and delivers the best, most consistent quality, from start to finish.
Whether it's the beautiful courses, the safety, the medals, the shirts the big start tents, the well-staffed transitions, the excellent 'race-bible', the finish line archway, or after-race party – you are guaranteed a consistent high quality experience with a Ragnar event.
Who should run a Ragnar Relay?
The beauty of an overnight relay is that almost anyone can do it. You don't have to be an immortal or even a serious runner. Anyone capable of running 4 or 5 miles can join a team of mid-pack friends for the experience and fun. Teams are started in waves by expected pace times so that all the teams converge towards the finish.
You only need to be able to run 5 or so miles at a time and there are no pace limits. You will never be alone, with other runners on the course, other teams on the route, staffed transitions and your own chase vehicles. It's a rolling group run, for 200ish miles of fun.
The important parts of the overnight relay experience have less to do with the running and more to do with the friendships forged and fun enjoyed. Maybe your particular contribution can be decorating the van or coming up with a killer team name. Your desire to participate and to have a blast is more important than your speed and endurance.
Can you run fast? Absolutely! For those of you looking to compete there are categories for different team configurations so you are positioned to compete against like teams. For example I ran the New England Ragnar Relay on an ultra team that consisted of 6 runners and we won our division, but the experience and the friendships I made there will outlive the memory of the prize for winning.
What's an overnight Relay?
An overnight starts on a Friday, runs through the night and takes approximately 24 hours to complete. Teams of 12 runners take turns, rotating through 36 stages to complete the course. Each Runner will have 3 legs of the race separated by 11 legs. Everyone ends up running at least one leg during the night.
The running itself is not as challenging as you might think. Each leg for a 12 member team might be as short as 3 miles. The challenge (and fun) is in planning the logistics of running repeatedly at all hours of the day and night and coordinating enough sleep breaks to keep everyone ambulatory. As the race motto says "Run, drive, sleep, repeat!"
Typically teams will have two support or chase vehicles, usually vans because these have enough space to stretch out and potentially catch a nap in between legs. The teams must coordinate who is in which van, who is running, who is driving and who is sleeping so that everyone has a chance to get some rest and get ready; and of course they must make sure no one misses a leg when it's their turn to go.
For many participants this is one of the few times they have run, if ever, in the middle of the night. To keep the runners safe they wear reflective vests and head lamps. Such is the stuff of epiphanies; to be exhausted and sleep deprived watching the sun come up while you are running with a van full of friends cheering you on.
Are you ready to take on the double header challenge?
Come on and sign up for a Ragnar Relay. You now have four opportunities in the North East. Take the double header challenge. Team captains get extra incentives so go to www.ragnarrelay.com and check it out.
Everyone who runs a Ragnar Relay will consistently tell you that they loved it, that they enjoyed the experience and would do it again. What are you waiting for? Get your team together and take advantage of this great opportunity to forge lasting friendships and have unforgettable fun.

quote:Originally posted by Alex116Just heard on the late news here that as sharksfan44 mentioned earlier, Heatley may be involved in a three way deal sending him to SJ, Marleau to LA and Frolov and Stoll to Ottawa? The local news here says all three GM's are denying it at this point, but, the interesting thing is, i heard on the radio yesterday that Heatley was playing in the Sens invitational golf tournament? Well, the news here just said that he's no longer playing in it? Maybe by the time i get up, you east coasters will have some info?Personally, i think it's a decent trade all around. SJ get's an incredible talent, albeit, a guy some would consider "not so good" in the dressing room (due to his second trade demand). LA gets a pretty good guy in Marleau, to help bring along some of the youth there. Also, at 30ish years of age, should still have some good years ahead of him. Ottawa, really being handcuffed like they are/were, get Frolov, a guy who's yet to live up to expectations but still has some serious upside. Playing with Alfie and/or Spezza could be all he needs to bring out the best in him? Stoll is not exactly a "throw in" either. Decent all around guy, good point man, etc. What do you guys think (if it goes through)?
