Petit jambon aux 5 sents en aspic et son découpage de truffes a l'encre.
Singularly considered to be a subjectively smashing success, a cooked then jelly covered tribute to the District of Columbia's premier bag tax (which has reduced bag consumption by 87%) and delectably absurd salty reminder to the avoidable 5¢ tax's cheap opponents. An edible monument to the achingly inane whines against it that are being ranked on watercoolers in any progressive office where tolerance, paychecks and science fundamentals have evolved since the 1860's.
The first of its kind in the nation, the tax on bags from grocers and such was an effort to challenge wasteful "out of sight, out of mind" consumption, the revenue from which would be spent on cleaning up the filthy Anacostia river and Chesapeake Bay watershed. 6 out of 10 Residents of NW (North White) Washington support the tax where as the rest of the city is evenly split. Some of the tax's opponents call the tax regressive on the poor or inconvenient and post their gripes on intrawebs. The poor for their part do not have intertron connections but are resourceful enough to circumvent the burdensome tax by bringing bags to stores if they deem the $0.05 fee to be so crippling, or they can go to the Anacostia River and pick up gently used ones for free. What is most ridiculously duplicitous and largely an indication of regressive political identity and intolerance is the white gentry that uses alleged plights of the poor as a shield & war cry while lamenting the 5¢ fee on bags for uppity sundries such as white wine & premium liquor (though they are happy to pay the 6% sales tax) and consciously deny impoverished residents a marginal fee destined to clean up their waterfront, a slummy waterfront that anyone with good enough sense, taste and money to enjoy Chateau Grincheux will avoid at all cost (to their BMW).
Òste e còc enthusiastically supports the bag tax as it has reduced monthly bag use to 3 million from 22.5 million last year. However, an unexpected result of diminishing usage –either from environmental consciousness or thrift- is that far less revenue ($149,432 as of January 2010) may be generated than expected ($10 million over 4 years).
Most remarkable is what a benign fee on a wasteful commodity can do to the human psyche and whatever loose change has accumulated in couches and car consoles. If only American food manufacturers were savvy enough to emulate Raymond Sachot, head of the French condiment company Amora, who in 1932 had the fabulous idea to package and sell mustard in reusable glasses ranging from Smurfs and Asterix to Minervois or Glenfiddich.
The meat of the matter. The ham in question was originally attached to a 25 lb shoat from Pennsylvania. Having removed the femur bone, the thing was injected and cured in a 5% brine with spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, Old Spice, gorging spice, coriander and clove) for a fortnight. Once rinsed it was gently simmered in a smiling boil seasoned with salt, garlic, bay leaf and chili for 3 or so hours until the skin was tender and could be easily removed. The ham was pressed in the fridge under a weight that was not being used in rigorous workouts at the time after which the skin was removed to expose the meat.
Meanwhile, the trotter and a few beef knuckle bones were blanched then simmered overnight as with the previous aspic preparation. After cooling and de-greasing, the resulting jelly was clarified with egg whites loosened up with salt and vinegar then strained through a coffee filter. No truffles –neither winter, summer domestic nor imported- were available at the neighborhood Latino grocer so a facsimile had to be fabricated. For the impostor truffle découpage A portion of the aspic was colored with squid ink diluted in a scant spoonful of water and strained into a dish lined with plastic wrap. Typesets were researched until an appropriate Mr. Burn's era Victorian theme to goof on the frugal curmudgeons was found, drawn freehand, cut and used as a stencil. The clear aspic was pleasant to the taste. The ink one was certainly not. Charcoal tablets will be stolen from the hospital after the next post-binge visit as an alternative.
The segments of the second smallest denomination of United States currency were applied and after a couple spoonfuls of barely seized clear aspic to hold the fee in shape, the entirety was turned over into an oval dish into which clear aspic was poured. A butane torch was used to evenly melt away any excess aspic as use of the hair-dryer had been given up for Lent.
Ad Haminem: Aesthetically, the ham and its cheeky flavored homonym were delightfully austere, the typeset properly amplifying the antiquated value of a nickel tax which that can be avoided through Pavlovian conditioning and which decreases as a percentage of what is efficiently packed into the bag to begin with. The ham was well seasoned without being too salty, fragrant, moist, nicely colored, tender and practical to slice in its boneless preparation. It could have benefited from a trip to the smoker which would have had the twofold effect of smoking the apartment, hopefully covering up the noxious poached-cod like odors of sister's geriatric cat's urine.

Rite Aid Employee Shot and Killed in Lansing
UPDATE: Police took a suspect into custody Monday afternoon following a several-hour standoff in the 1800 block of Coolidge Road. Another person was shot and killed there, and the incident is related to the shooting death of a Rite Aid employee near Frandor Plaza earlier Monday, according to WLNS TV 6. More details here.
UPDATE: Lansing police said at a 1:45 p.m. press conference that the suspect in the Rite Aid shooting was still at large. Police said the motive behind the shooting and whether it was random was not yet clear.
Police attempted a canine track at the scene, but the weather conditions rendered it unsuccessful.
Police also remained unclear as to whether the shooting was related to the one just minutes later in East Lansing, although they are not ruling out that possibility.
Police advised citizens to call 911 if they see a person matching the suspect description. Lansing police also asked for tips from anyone who may have seen anything before, during or after the shooting. Calls can be placed to 517-483-4600.
A man walked into a Lansing pharmacy then shot and killed an employee Monday morning, police say.
The shooting happened about 11 a.m. at Rite Aid, 3106 E. Saginaw St. The victim died at the scene, WLNS TV 6 reports.
About 15 minutes later, another shooting occurred about a mile away in the 1800 block of East Lansing's Coolidge Road. Police have surrounded and blocked off the area, and eye-witness accounts say authorities have guns drawn.
Police have not confirmed whether the two shootings are related.
The incidents caused multiple schools in the area to lock down. As of 12 p.m., all East Lansing schools as well as Lansing's Fairview Elementary and Pattengill Middle School were still locked down.
Police said the shooter in the Rite Aid incident was a man about 30 years old between 5-foot-8 and 5-foot-10 wearing all black: a black top, black pants, a black hat and carrying a black bag.
Lansing police were expected to hold a press conference about 1 p.m. You can watch it live via WLNS.

Following its success with the Kinoshita centennial initiative, Japanese studio Shochiku is planning a major restoration and screening project to market the 110th anniversary of the birth of Yasujiro Ozu.
The project kicks off with the screening of a restored version of Ozu's Tokyo Story at the Berlinale (February 14), the first in a series of restorations of Ozu classics, with titles to be announced at a later date. Yoji Yamada' Tokyo Family, also screening in Berlinale, is a homage to the film.
Shochiku is also planning a series of screenings of Ozu titles in Japan in December and a travelling retrospective, as it has done with the films of Keisuke Kinoshita over the past year. The Kinoshita classics have screened at Cannes, Venice and Berlin, along with many smaller festivals.
Ozu was born on December 12, 1903 and died exactly 60 years later on December 12, 1963. Although he is revered among international cineastes, Shochiku recently conducted a survey that revealed low awareness of Ozu amongst the Japanese population.
"Only 42% have awareness of him as he's not known among young people; he is better known overseas. Our goal is to raise that percentage over the course of 2013 and 2014," said Shochiku general manager of licensing Kaz Moriguchi.
Shochiku is also planning to publish a book in April explaining Ozu's filmmaking philosophy and a series of Blu-ray releases later in the year.

SUNY Canton Awards Students in First RooTube ContestThursday, December 20th, 2007
The SUNY Canton RooTube video competition yielded a narrative students' view of campus and original footage of students paddling a canoe across a parking lot.
The campus-wide video competition elicited numerous student videographers attempting to capture the elements of college life at SUNY Canton.
"Our inaugural year of the RooTube competition inspired some fun and interesting visions of college life," said Vice President of Advancement David M. Gerlach. "The competition culminated with an Academy Award-style gala, allowing the students to show their videos to the campus community."
Gerlach thought of the RooTube contest idea earlier in the semester after viewing videos on the highly popular "YouTube" website. Students received trophies and prizes for their efforts during the recent Golden Roo Awards ceremony.
The results included films about the SUNY Canton Outing club finding adventures in ordinary places. Outing club students were captured on their video saying, "At SUNY Canton, we don't need water," as they paddled a canoe across the parking lot of French Hall with help from a not-so cleverly disguised tow rope attached to a moving car.
The outing club students also found adventure scaling the stairs of the college's six floor Faculty Office Building in snow shoes, repelling from the 20-foot retaining walls, and skiing inside of the residence halls. Their video won first place in the Student Life category.
The overall best film, as decided by RooTube committee members was "What Students Think about SUNY Canton," a light-hearted documentary-style video by Francesca Goyette, a Physical Therapist Assistant major from Scotia. Goyette interviewed students about what they liked best about the college, their majors, living options on campus, and the squirrels. The common consensus of students featured in the video was that the college's squirrel population is crazy.
Other competition winners in the general category were:
- Samantha Zbytek's "Do Your Thing" video won second place.
- Jonathan Turner's "SUNY Canton website" video won third place.
Other competition winners in the Student Life category were:
- Okeyere Twumasi's "That's My SUNY Canton" video won second place.
- Ryan Madigan and Mike Wilbur's "Sunday Afternoon" video won third place.
Other awards included:
- David Hartman won a special best collaboration with a national celebrity award.
- University Police Lieutenant Brian Kurish won best faculty staff cameo award.
The college's website will be featuring some of the videos in the future. Plans are already underway for future RooTube competitions.

Mozambique is a big country, with hundreds of islands scattered along its coast.
Mozambique general informationWhat language do they speak in Mozambique? Do I need a visa for Mozambique? How can I make a call to or from Mozambique? This page provides you with the answers to frequently ask questions most travellers have, when going on holiday to Mozambique for the first time.
Know before you goAs you plan your trip, and before you travel, we recommend that you check the latest Foreign Office advice on the places that you're going to - regardless of where you are travelling to, or how you are travelling. See FCO's Mozambique advice here, or its info on other countries here.
We urge you to do this, as we recommend that all our travellers keep themselves up to date with the current foreign office advice on their destination countries.
Time in MozambiqueAs most countries in south eastern Africa, Mozambique is two hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+2). Since Mozambique doesn't operate daylight saving time, there's no difference between summer and winter time.
Currency in MozambiqueMozambique's currency is the metical (MZM). At time of writing (Aug 09), £1 = 43,848MZM, respectively US$1 = 26,600MZM – check with www.oanda.com for current exchange rates. Most hotels and lodges in Mozambique accept US$ and usually credit cards.
Mozambique's International Dialling CodeThe International Dialling Code for Mozambique is +258, followed by an area code. Calling from Mozambique, you dial 00 plus the relevant country code (e.g. 001 for the United States, or 0044 for the United Kingdom). Currently (Aug 09), 3-minute calls from Mozambique to UK or US landlines with TDM Mozambique cost 45,300MZM during peak time, and 36,300 MZM off-peak (every additional minute costs 15,100MZM, or 12,100MZM).
Food in MozambiqueThe food served in Mozambique's beach lodges is excellent, and the seafood is superb. Mozambican beer is popular, as are South African wines and beers.
The local cuisine is mainly Portuguese, with Far Eastern influences. Specialities include Piri-piri chicken (chicken with spicy chilli sauce), Shellfish and Delagoa prawns with piri-piri sauce, rice with matapa (ground peanut and cassava leave sauce), and wuza (maize porridge).
Health in MozambiqueMalaria is endemic in Mozambique. The islands are generally healthy, though the usual vaccines (typhoid, polio and tetanus) are sensible and yellow fever certificates may be required. Check with your GP and see the Scottish NHS site for more health info on Mozambique before you travel.
HIV infection rates are high; AIDS is prevalent in Mozambique. Usually, this isn't a concern for travellers, but they should be aware of the current situation, and take the same sensible safety measures to avoid infection which are wise in most countries. We understand that blood supplies used by Mozambique's private hospitals have been carefully screened for years.

HOUSTON – The Houston Dynamo's midfield depth will be tested again on Sunday in their MLS Cup 2012 rematch with the LA Galaxy (10 pm CT, ESPN2, live chat on MLSsoccer.com).
With Brad Davis out due to a red-card suspension from his tackle on Nathan Sturgis last weekend, the favorite to take his place at The Home Depot Center is Andrew Driver.
"I think it's a pretty simple adjustment with Andrew who can play on the left," head coach Dominic Kinnear told reporters on Saturday. "He's comfortable out there and it seems pretty logical that may happen."
Added Driver: "[It] goes without saying what Brad brings to the team. He's one of our main creative forces. We've got a squad that's very strong and it just means someone else has got an opportunity. Hopefully it's a chance for me again."
The newcomer has seen more time than anyone could have imagined due to injuries and international absences. Driver has appeared in seven games, starting five, and has provided a frantic pace of play and one goal and one assist.
READ: Dynamo try to ignore past in big MLS Cup 2012 rematch
His play's instilled a sense of confidence that has his coach and teammates convinced there will be no drop off.
While Driver is a ready-made replacement for Davis, Houston will do a little give-and-take in the center of the pitch. Adam Moffat returned to training Friday after missing the Colorado Rapids game with a hamstring injury.
"I feel ready to get in the game," he told MLSsoccer.com. "Hamstring injuries can feel gone and then come back so we're a little bit cautious. I know we've got a busy schedule this week and we'll see how it feels after this game."
While Moffat is returning, the Dynamo will lose some of their precious depth with Warren Creavalle being listed as out with his own hamstring strain on the latest injury report.
The in-and-out nature of the Houston midfield lately has the club relying on chemistry and familiarity. But rhythm is something the club is hoping to pick up quick when they play on the expansive field at the HDC.
"You don't want massive gaps because that's what they're looking for," Moffat said. "I know there's been guys coming in and coming out. … Maybe there's a little bit to the rhythm but we know what we're good at and know our strength. We can get it going."

Mark Romanek spent two decades directing some of the best, most distinctive music videos the genre has ever know. Occasionally, he makes movies, the next of which would be something of a departure, to say the least.
Romanek is said to be the frontrunner to helm "The Lost Symbol," the third book in the Dan Brown trilogy about symbologist Robert Langdon, reported Deadline. He'd be taking over the franchise from Little Opie Cunningham, who directed the first two, "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels & Demons."
Here's a chunk of the synopsis from Brown's website:
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
A disturbing object--artfully encoded with five symbols--is discovered in the Capitol Building. Langdon recognizes the object as an ancient invitation... one meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom.
When Langdon's beloved mentor, Peter Solomon--a prominent Mason and philanthropist--is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes his only hope of saving Peter is to accept this mystical invitation and follow wherever it leads him.
Romanek hinted at this development a couple of weeks ago, by posting a photo of producers Brian Grazer and director Ron Howard.
Romanek has only directed three other films, "Static" in 1985, "One Hour Photo" in 2002 and last year's under-appreciated "Never Let Me Go"--it would be fair to say he leans toward art-house fare. When he last tried to go big budget, it was on "The Wolfman," but he bailed just weeks before going into production over a dispute with Universal regarding--what else?--money and creative vision.
For an overview of just how great his career as a video director has been (Fiona Apple's "Criminal" remains one of the dirtiest things we've ever seen on MTV), check out this list or watch this montage:

While the worldwide Lezyne team has been working hard to launch the new Year 5 line, our sponsored athletes have been working hard and winning races. Here is a little update on what they have been up to.
HTC-Highroads Win Tour Green
Paris, France – On Sunday, HTC-Highroad's Mark Cavendish crowned his first ever points jersey win in the Tour de France with a third straight victory on the Champs Elysées. The Manxman took his fifth sprint win of the 2011 race at the end of a ninety-five kilometer stage from Creteil to Paris, blasting ahead of Edvald Boasson Hagen of Norway and Germany's Andre Greipel.
The first British rider ever to win the points jersey, Cavendish said afterwards there could not have been a better way to round off his battle for green than with the twentieth stage win of his career in the Tour de France.
HTC-Highroad completed the 2011 Tour de France as the team with the most victories; five for Cavendish and one on Saturday for Germany's Tony Martin in the Stage 20 ITT.
For more information about the team go to their website>>.
For all those Team HTC-Highroad fans, check out the limited edition Team Port-a-Shop Tool Kit. The kit contains everything the training and traveling cyclist needs to service his/her bike on the road. For every kit sold, a portion of the proceeds are donated to the Carla's Circle fund to help the family of fallen team rider Carla Swart. Learn more about Carla here>>.
Gracia Down But Not Out After French Champs
Photo: P. Garcia
Meribel, France – Lezyne Ambassador Cedric Gracia concluded his race run at the 2011 French DH Championships with a trip to the hospital on July 19th. Gracia had a good warm up and was ready to pin it on his race run, but had to retire after landing a jump incorrectly and injuring his left ACL. Gracia had surgery last Friday (7/22) to repair the damage and is now undergoing physical therapy for a speedy recovery.
Gracia was having a great season and was ranked 15th going into the French Championships.
Get well soon Cedric! We need the Sergeant at the front leading the way!

Stringent federal wastewater discharge regulations, growing population and increasing demand for freshwater essentially drives water recycling and reuse in the United States. The demand for freshwater is set to increase steeply with the increasing demand for water in industries, agricultural irrigation, lawn watering and other non-potable applications.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, U.S. Water Recycling and Reuse Systems Market, reveals that the market earned revenues of $676 million in 2006 and expects to reach $1.3 billion in 2013.
The population of the United States estimates to reach 420 million by mid-2050, which can put enormous strain on the existing water resources. However, this can strengthen the demand for water recycling and reuse systems.
"Advanced wastewater treatment technologies such as continuous backwash filters and membrane bioreactor (MBR) are capable of producing water quality to a level that is acceptable for recycle and reuse," notes Frost & Sullivan research analyst Prabhu Sethuraman. "They can effectively help augment existing water resources to cope with the demand for freshwater."
Although the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published a manual, which serves as a guideline for water reuse, it has not established any standards for water reuse or recycle. States that are facing water shortage or an increase in demand for freshwater have used these guidelines as a reference to formulate their own standards for recycling and reusing water.
"The opportunities for water reuse are tremendous and the states are realizing its potential benefits," states Sethuraman. "The rising cost of water, which is a direct effect of the current water shortage, coupled with tighter environmental regulations, offers good market opportunities for existing and emerging participants."
However, there is a strong negative perception on using treated wastewater for domestic applications such as lawn irrigation, car washing, or indirect potable reuse among the consumers. Although wastewater has been treated to a level that is fit for drinking, consumers do not have a complete understanding of treatment techniques for reusing wastewater and find these projects unacceptable.
State water authorities and manufacturers feel that educating end users by highlighting the benefits of reusing water would help change this perception. They prefer addressing public health concerns and other issues through organizations such as Water Environment Federation (WEF), which have a much broader access and can disseminate information quickly.
U.S. Water Recycling and Reuse Systems Market is part of the Environmental Growth Partnership Service program, which includes research services in the following markets: municipal, industrial, residential and commercial water and wastewater treatment equipment and services markets.

Brother held without bail in sister's death in Nashua
NASHUA, N.H. (AP) � A New Hampshire man accused of beating his sister to death is being held without bail.
Duane Rolfe has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder in connection with the death of his 66-year-old sister, Judith Rolfe.
Police said they were called to the siblings' Nashua home on Saturday morning and later arrested the 65-year-old Rolfe.
Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley says Judith Rolfe died of multiple blunt force trauma to her head, causing brain injury. Duane Rolfe has been charged with alternative counts of second-degree murder. One charge is that he knowingly committed the crime, the other is that he did so recklessly.
Rolfe did not speak. His attorney, public defender Jacki Smith, declined to comment after the arraignment.
A hearing has been scheduled for next week.

Hello there! I for one am THRILLED the weekend is here. This has been an insane crazy week and I'm looking forward to slowing down a bit.
Today's post is one I'll admit isn't the most comfortable for me. I don't particularly like talking about myself. My house, yes. Me? No.
But I promised you more of "me" earlier this year. Pictures of the person writing this blog. Action shots if you will. And I've failed miserably.
Still, all you get is The Hand:
Anyone want to come take pictures while I do projects? Hmmm? Cause it's not easy to do by yourself. Hubby never seems to be home at the right time and the kiddo isn't the greatest at action shots. (Believe me, we've tried.)
Anyhoo, I thought I would share some interesting (I know, this is very subjective) facts about myself in an effort to share more about me. This feels weird. Just so you know.
I just know I love finding out more about fellow bloggers and realizing little things in common. It's nice to know you aren't alone in this world. ;)
And I'm a little weird, but you probably already knew that. If not, you will now.
Here we go – starting with one I may be alone on…
I find eyebrow waxes to be incredibly relaxing:
That's me, all skinny and perfect hair and smiley. In my head. Really, I'm usually half asleep. I LOVE it. Yes, it's painful, but I have a high pain threshold (fun fact #2), and I find the whole process very soothing and I almost drift off every time. I'm always sad when they're done.
I'm a bit OCD when it comes to my hair styling tools. When I worked full time I would go back and check to make sure the flat iron was off at least five times every morning. Now, I only do it a couple times a morning.
I have been known to turn around in the car and head home to check -- it freaks me out that much. I'm OCD about nothing else, so who knows what the heck that is about.
I can count on both hands the number of times I eat ice cream in a year – I love it but it's not usually the sweet treat I go for (now, donuts are another story). But I have to avoid Dairy Queen and our local Handel's on purpose because of the banana split blizzard and spouse like a house:
They are DELISH and I could eat either one every day.
I LOVE that Dairy Queen has mini-blizzards now – it's the perfect size. The banana split is so fresh and fruity and dreamy. Especially perfect for spring and summer. :) The spouse version at Handel's is just the opposite – pretzel and chocolate and peanut butter…excuse me while I wipe off the drool.
Why am I talking about this?? Now I'm going to have to have one. Or both.
I am perfectly comfortable going into a room full of people and not knowing a soul. I'm never particularly anxious about it, but it's not because I'm chatty and make quick friends. It's just the opposite – I don't mind being alone and keep to myself.
In fact, people sometimes don't care for me the first time they meet me. I am not overly sociable and excitable and I tend to put up a wall when I first meet people if I'm not careful. Then they mistake that for rudeness. (Maybe it is rudeness? Huh.) Which in turn kills me because (fun fact #??) I'm very prone to feelings of guilt.
I'm making a conscious effort to change this trait about myself, but it's hard!
Thing is, once you become my friend, I'm a goofy freakaleak and am fiercely loyal. Most of my closest friends are those I've known since junior high, high school and college. So…uhhh, let's just say a long dang time now.
The fact that I'm not overly sociable is what cost me a spot on this show:
Only the best game show EVER.
I tried out in college and wasn't peppy enough. They had us act like we were on the show, and I said "b" instead of screaming out "B!!!!!!!!!!"
That will cost you a spot – just so you know. Pep is your friend when it comes to the Wheel people.
But did you know you have to pay your whole way out to Cali to even be on the show? (At least back then.) I guess it's a good thing I didn't make it cause I couldn't have done it anyway.
Pregnancy was the best thing that's ever happened to my body. I only gained 20 pounds total when pregnant, even though I was on bed rest for the last few weeks cause the boy would NOT STOP TRYING TO ESCAPE.
This was me at 33 weeks, right before I went into labor for the first time:
FOUR in-labor trips to the hospital and four weeks later, we finally let this little burrito out:
But of course that last time I was induced (three weeks early!) because of high blood pressure and he took his sweet time…OMG. It took a couple days all together. After all those times in labor, the last time he hung in there and wasn't leaving.
But after I had him, a freakish thing happened with my metabolism – I lost weight SO fast, I've never experienced it before or since. I lost the 20 I gained, and then another 23, within nine months of having him:
Excuse hubby's goofy Hawaiian shirt (he's gonna kill me) – we were there for a band trip and he had to wear it. That was when the Bub was less than a year old and I still don't know how in the world I lost all that weight. I didn't even work out – maybe a little bit, but not much. I was almost back to what I was in high school.
Pregnancy kick started my metabolism and it went CRAZY. Makes me want another baby. ;)
Ummm, by the way, the awesome metabolism is all gone now. I'm working on it, but I gained ALL of that extra weight (23 pounds!) I lost back.
Which brings me popcorn. I love popcorn. Obsessed.
I blame my sis – she came to live with us years ago and would make microwave popcorn all. the. time.
Then a few years ago I learned that buttery microwave popcorn has potential harmful health issues (yes, beyond just the butter is not good for you part), so we gave up the juice (microwave popcorn), and went to the Whirly Pop instead:
I would make it every night if I could. Seriously. Salivating. Now I'm highly confused because I don't know if I want popcorn or ice cream.
I also love movie popcorn, even though I know it's quite possibly the worst thing you can eat. I will eat half the carton before the movie even starts.
I have a problem and it's name is Buttered Popcorn.
I believe music sounds best turned up REALLY loud, in the car, preferably with the windows down. Don't worry, I freak out at intersections and when I stop and turn it down. This is mostly due to the fact that I'm afraid you can get a ticket for playing your radio too loud.
I doubt this is true but better safe than sorry. ;)
I don't wear heels, hardly ever. I'm already 5'9" so they just accentuate the feeling that I tower over people. I do tower over people with heels – even in short ones I'm just about six feet.
I don't know what got into me, but I bought two pairs of heels this week – one was a three inch pump and one was a FOUR inch wedge. They both looked all fun and sassy in the store, but at home I feel like gargantuan woman. They're going back. ;)
I never, ever, ever use the term LOL when writing:
Ever. I don't why. I think I'm trying to buck the LOL system. What??? I don't know. Told you I'm weird. I just don't say it. I'm a journalism girl and I guess it always went against my grain.
Now, Squeezies, cauuuute and LURVE…those are fine. And lots of smiling faces and exclamation points. !!
I am both an only child and an oldest child. The first ten years of my life were as an only. Then Stink Eye was born and it was all over.
I talk about her a lot cause she's my one full sister, but I actually have a HUGE family! I have one full sis, two half sis's, one half brother, a stepsister and stepbrother.
Yep. Oldest of seven. :)
Here are all the lovely ladies in my family:
My sis's, my stepmom and my niece. :) I love them all dearly and love that I've had both – time with my parents alone and then a big honkin' family.
And I have the personality characteristics of both an only child and the oldest – a dangerous combo. ;) (And my stepdaughter has experienced the same, although she had waaaay more years to herself!)
My ears stick out. Big time. Always have. They are the one and only physical trait our son got from me. Good thing cause he looks just like his Daddy. :) Bad thing cause he's a boy and doesn't have the girl hair to cover them.
I tend to ignore trends at all costs. I don't go with the group and sometimes fight it tooth and nail.
This is why it took me years to create a Facebook account, why I've still never read Twilight:
And why you haven't seen chevron of any kind in our house. ;)
Not saying I don't like it – I do, very much. But I'm the type who will wait till it's out of style and then do it. Rebel you could say. So, at this rate, you'll probably see it around here somewhere in about ten years.
Whew! OK, that's it. Some weird, some normal (right??) fun facts about little old me. That wasn't so bad, kind of cathartic. For me anyway. Probably not for you.
Are you still awake?
So, am I alone in the eyebrow waxing? Are you an oldest and an only? Have you read Twilight and am I crazy for fighting it? (Hey, I succumbed to Hunger Games!)
P.S. Don't forget about the next Show Us Your House party, coming up next week! I'll have the post up Sunday evening.

I'd never seen a citrus tree until a trip to Phoenix, Arizona a couple years ago for a wedding. The citrus and palm trees lining the streets were so beautiful, and it was amazing to see spring come so early there. Flowers were already in full bloom in early April, and my allergies went into overdrive that weekend.
I wish I had taken some photos of the citrus trees that weekend, but sadly I didn't, so I'm sharing a few photos of the Ruins of Tuzigoot and Montezuma's Castle that we visited. Both were built by the Sinagua people near Verde Valley around 700 AD.
|Montezuma Castle
|Demonstrating corn grinding at the Ruins of Tuzigoot
|Ruins of Tuzigoot
Citrus continues to inspire me this month, even while it's snowing outside today, and after tasting that very rich Lime and Mascarpone Ice Cream, I thought I could create a lemony ice cream that was much lighter, using low-fat cream cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, and 2% milk. To make it even more amazing, I swirled in a little homemade lemon curd to give it more delicious lemony-ness. Yes, I've decided lemony-ness is a word.
And as if the swirls of lemon curd weren't enough, I saw a little disk of pie crust dough sitting wrapped in my freezer - what about a lemon ice cream with bits of flaky pie crust throughout? A Lemon Cream Pie Ice Cream... The thought of all this lemon should be waking up your taste buds right about now. If you're not salivating, then there might be something wrong with you!
Now, of course, the lemon curd and the bits of pie crust contribute extra fat and calories, which strays a bit from my original goal of creating a lighter ice cream recipe, but this recipe can totally be tailored to your own tastes and preferences with as little or as much of the lemon curd and pie crust pieces as you like. And just the lemon ice cream on its own is amazing.
And totally cute served in a little frozen lemon "bowl".
Lemon Cream Pie Ice Cream
printable recipe
- 8 ounces low-fat cream cheese (cold)
- 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- zest of 2 small lemons
- juice of 3-4 small lemons (about 1/2 cup, give or take, according to how tart you want the ice cream)
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup 1% or 2% milk
- 1/4 cup lemon curd
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped pie crust (1/4 of a standard pie crust, baked until golden and cooled)
In the mixing bowl of your stand mixer, combine the cream cheese, yogurt, lemon zest and juice, and powdered sugar. Beat with the whisk attachment for several minutes until smooth. Add the milk, and beat for another minute to combine. Taste and add more sugar or lemon if desired.
Freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions (about 10-15 minutes of churning in a pre-frozen Kitchen Aid Ice Cream Maker attachment). Scoop ice cream into a bowl. Working quickly, drizzle the lemon curd over the ice cream and sprinkle with the chopped pie crust pieces. Fold into the ice cream so that you can see visible streaks of lemon curd throughout. Transfer to a container, cover and freeze until firm, 4-6 hours.
Yields 1 quart.
Variation: Instead of lemon curd and pie crust, swirl a little raspberry or blueberry sauce or jam throughout.

A federal judge has given the green light to a lawsuit brought against video giant Blockbuster over its use of Facebook's privacy-destroying "Beacon" ad system.
A year ago, a Texas woman named Cathryn Elaine Harris sued Blockbuster after it used Beacon to share her movie rentals with her so-called Facebook friends. The suit seeks class-action status, and as MediaPost reports, US District Court Judge Barbara Lynn ruled that the case can go to court - even though Blockbuster's online terms and conditions insist that disputes can't be brought to court and that users must waive their right to class-action suits.
According to Judge Lynn, Blockbuster's online terms and conditions are "illusory" and "unenforceable" because the company reserves the right to change them at any time.
"There is nothing in the Terms and Conditions that prevents Blockbuster from unilaterally changing any part of the contract other than providing that such changes will not take effect until posted on the website," Lynn's ruling reads. "The Blockbuster contract only states that modifications 'will be effective immediately upon posting,' and the natural reading of that clause does not limit application of the modifications to earlier disputes."
Lynn's ruling applies "even when no retroactive modification has been attempted."
The immediate result is that Blockbuster may have to face a mass legal attack from all customers burned by the Beacon - rather than fending them off one by one. But the ruling may have broader implications for the net as a whole. Blockbuster is hardly alone in attempting to unilaterally modify its terms and conditions whenever it feels like it. Lynn's ruling would invalidate online contracts left, right, and center.
With her suit, Cathryn Elaine Harris claims that Blockbuster's Beacon use violated the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), a law laid down in 1988 after a journalist revealed videotapes rented by Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork.
When it was launched in early November of 2007, Beacon automatically tracked the e-commerce habits of Facebookers and shared them with their online buddies. At first, the system was opt-out only - and the opt-out was less than obvious. But after howls of protests from privacy watchdogs everywhere, Mark Zuckerberg and company switched to opt-in model. But that was on an advertiser-by-advertiser basis, and after more howls, Zuckerberg provided a master off-switch for the ill-advised ad system. ®

Biofuels Digest and the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) invite the industry to take part in the Spring 2011 Bioenergy Business Outlook Survey.
The survey examines growth expectations and opportunities from a company, national and organizational point of view. It also examines the role of research, government policy, finance, and research and market partners in creating opportunities or barriers to the growth of green jobs, energy security and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
The survey is open to organizations in all sectors of the industry – including producers, research and teaching organizations, associations, equipment suppliers, offtake partners and suppliers of services to the industry.
Respondents to the 21 question survey will receive a detailed summary of the survey's findings and commentary on trends from the Biofuels Digest editorial team. Summarized results will be published in Biofuels Digest, but the customized, in-depth summary will be available only to respondents.
The Winter 2010 Bioenergy Business Outlook Survey conducted in December drew responses from companies representing an estimated 4,200 green jobs and more than $3 billion in annual sales. That survey showed that 80 percent of bioenergy executives were more optimistic both about their organization's prospects for growth and industry growth, than 12 months prior. It also showed that confidence about industry growth prospects had jumped 11 percentage points in the final quarter of 2010.

GDPR | Seers Article
Are you unsure where to start the GDPR compliance? GDPR Audit is the first step towards the GDPR compliance and
aligns your company with the legal requirements of the GDPR policy template
GDPR Audit is a great way to see how the regulation applies to your organisation and
identifies critical, high risk, or weak areas of your organisation.
Don't panic! The first step is to
discover whether or not you are subject to GDPR in the first place.Find out here with our GDPR Audit (for free)
Individuals can now ask the organisation what data they hold on them.They can access their data and request the organisation to rectify or delete their personal data where such data retention is without consent or unjustified.
GDPR has legal requirements to be followed in case of a data breach incident.Organisations are now
required to inform the individuals as well as the supervisory authority within 72 hours under
certain circumstances.
Our patented Technology means you can easily become fully GDPR and ePrivacy compliant by testing all your procedures & systems with our easy to use Tools.
We'll immediately show you any gaps in your armour so that you'll know exactly where you
stand in no time time at all.
Non Compliance is against the law and carries fines of up to €20,000,000
Consent is one of the six lawful bases stipulated by the GDPR. Under GDPR,
the consent should be valid, informed and up-to-date. The GDPR has additional consent requirements in case of children's data processing.
Information security is at the heart of data protection. GDPR says that
organisations must implement
organisational (as well as)
technical measures.
Seers GDPR Audit takes you through these requirements to see if you are lacking in any of these.
I love these GDPR Tools. It's good to feel 100% safe from the fear of prosecution.
– Doug Armstrong
GDPR now requires the organisations to serves privacy notices to the individual data subjects on what data about them the organisation holds and what do they do with this data.This GDPR Audit assesses whether your privacy notices are fully in line with Article 13 and 14
of the GDPR.
Once you've utilised our GDPR Audit and Assessments, you can rest assured you are fully GDPR Compliant.No risk of getting a fine now!
Discover the compliance risk of your data processing activity
based on two criteria 1. Sensitive
data and 2. Vulnerable individuals. As a rule of thumb, the more sensitive data and data of
vulnerable individuals you process, the more compliance risk you carry.
In recent times, a global professional services firm named Ernst & Young published a report. The report
illustrated that 500 huge corporations of today's world are on track to comply with GDPR and ready to spend $7.8
billion. The question here is how much will the GDPR audit cost to a small-scale organisation? The correct answer is, plenty of factors helps to balance the GDPR audit cost of implementation. For example, type, volume or size of your personal information your organisation tackles. GDPR compliance process consists of different steps and phases. Every single
level has its own cost and requires time accordingly, from the data discovery process to customer GDPR privacy
notification, to training employees.
First and foremost make sure that your organisation process the data of people living in the European Union. If the
answer is no, then GDPR does not apply to your organisation. If the answer is yes, then the factors mentioned below will
help you better find, what you might need. This list of elements will drive the complacence cost. Some of them
offering GDPR in a low amount and providing GDPR request templates.
What if GDPR has not complied?
Do you know, there is a cost which has to be paid for not complying with GDPR You probably will have to pay either 20 Million Euros fine or 4% of annual global revenues to the supervisory authority of the EU. This should not be taken on a lighter note, because as the value of personal data increases the level of protection should also be raised. Otherwise, you will stand accused and forced to pay fines after the GDPR audit cost.

WASHINGTON — It's a list that no college or university wants to be on.
The Education Department on Thursday revealed the names of 55 colleges and universities facing a Title IX investigation for their responses to sexual abuse and violence on their campuses.
Making the list public was unprecedented, a move fueled by the department's hope that transparency will compel colleges and universities to act to better prevent the crimes and protect victims. Previously, the agency would confirm such investigations when asked, but students and others were often unaware of them.
The schools range from huge public universities, including Ohio State, the University of California, Berkeley and Arizona State, to private schools such as Knox College in Illinois, Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania and Catholic University of America in the District of Columbia. Ivy League schools Harvard, Princeton and Dartmouth are also on the list.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan said there is no presumption of guilt. While being on the list might be difficult for schools, he said it pales in comparison to the trauma borne by sexual assault victims.
"In terms of what's morally right there, the moral compass, whatever we can do to have fewer young women and young men having to go through these types of horrific incidents, we want to do that," Duncan said.
Here are five things to know about the department's actions.
Title IX
The 1972 law prohibits gender discrimination at schools. It is best known for guaranteeing girls equal access to sports, but it also regulates institutions' handling of sexual violence and increasingly is being used by victims who say their schools failed to protect them. The department publicized guidance on Title IX's sexual assault provisions in 2011, and complaints by students have since increased. The department can withhold federal funding from a school that doesn't comply with the law, but it so far has not used that power and instead has negotiated voluntary resolutions for violators.
Why release the list
Highly engaged victims groups have used social media and other means to build support for government action against schools that they believe have not dealt firmly enough with reports of sexual abuse and violence on campus or provided resources to help those who were injured.
In January, President Barack Obama announced a White House task force would review the issue over a 90-day period. At the time, the White House cited a statistic that 1 in 5 female college students is sexually assaulted. In findings released Tuesday, the task force promised greater transparency, including the creation of a website called notalone.gov with resources about how to file such a complaint.
The next step was releasing the list of schools under investigation. That happened Thursday.
"No one probably loves to have their name on that list," Duncan said. "But we'll investigate; we'll go where the facts are. And where they have done everything perfectly, we'll be very loud and clear that they've done everything perfectly."
Who investigates
The Education Department's Office of Civil Rights is responsible for investigating accusations of Title IX violations. An investigation may be triggered by individual complaints about the handling of sexual abuse cases or by a review of whether the school is complying with the law. That review may be prompted by factors such as a news story, the department said.
Complaints, however, don't always lead to an investigation.
What schools are saying
Colleges named in many cases were reluctant to reveal details related to the investigation, but many describe changes in policy and a willingness to work with the department to bring change. A spokesman for Harvard College, for example, said it had made changes such as appointing a Title IX officer to review policies and procedures. At Sarah Lawrence College, a heavily female school in New York on the list, a spokeswoman said the college has taken steps that include putting up posters advising students of what to do if they are sexually assaulted and requiring a "consent and respect online" course for new students starting this summer.
Some schools emphasized that the investigation was the result of the compliance review – and not a specific complaint.
Indiana University-Bloomington, for example, said the department had confirmed that it didn't receive any complaints against the school "that would have triggered an investigation."
Similarly, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst also said it was being investigated under a standard compliance review and not because of any specific complaints.
The next step
The department says it will continue to update the list and will make it available to members of the public who ask.
Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., have said that noncompliance under the law is too common and more resources are needed to aid such investigations. Blumenthal said the department needs to "thoroughly and rapidly" investigate the complaints – some of which date as far back as 2010.
It will be up to colleges and universities to decide how to move forward. Some student advocates say they will be watching to see how their campus responds.

That's not him? Are you sure?
Here's another clip of some other dude talking in Columbus yesterday.
If I were a Buckeye fan (and I thank the Lord each and every day that I am not), he doesn't exactly inspire a ton o' confidence based on this press conference (either of the above). Hell, he looks like the 37-year-old assistant that he was until the "Fickell" finger of football fate tapped him on the shoulder. Then again, the guy was thrown into a no-win (or some would say, no-lose) situation.
But you never know. Who would've thought that Lloyd Carr would've gone on to a National Title and Hall of Fame career when he got his unexpected shot? Same guys just step up when the rest of the world counts them out.
Yet Fickell's future in Columbus may not come down to W's and L's.
When asked if he had known of any past or present NCAA violations or any players or coaches who had done the same, Fickell stumbled through the following answer:
"You know I can honestly say that um...where I wasn't going to say I had blinders on but...very focused at the task at hand and I was not informed of any information until it became public knowledge."
It was almost as if he was trying to address a second part to that question which wasn't asked: "If the cars and memorabilia and tattoos were so prevelant, how could you not have noticed, too? Everyone else on campus seemed to notice the cars the players were driving."
So the bottom line is, if Tosu's Troubles turn out to be rampant in the program (and not isolated to the Tat 5), I think OSU is going to need a clean break with the past, no matter how well Luke Fickell does on the field (I'm also looking at you, Gene Smith and Gordon Gee). He'll get the broom in after the season even if Urban Meyer isn't taking their calls.
Finally, while we swear OSU's

This chapter provides the context for all procedures.
It contains the overarching policy for the provision of services to children and families.
1. Introduction
This policy sets out the framework within which Children's Services work with children, young people and their families. It is underpinned by a range of legislation including, but not limited to:
- Children Acts 1989 and 2004;
- Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000;
- Care Standards Act 2000;
- United Nations Convention on the Rights of The Child;
- Human Rights Act 1998;
- Adoption and Children Act 2002;
- Children Act 2004;
- Data Protection Act 1998;
- Children and Families Act 2014.
The policy framework also has regard to and is consistent with a range of government guidance, particularly the principles set out in Working Together to Safeguard Children.
It is largely directed towards the work that Children's Services undertakes with Children in Need and Looked After Children; which is carried out in partnership with all sectors of the Local Authority and with other statutory, independent and voluntary sector services.
2. Key Outcomes
The key outcomes for all children identified in the Children Act 2004 remain relevant and enable the local authority, the People's Services Department and its practitioners to focus on the key aspects for all children. The performance indicators local authorities and partners use are structured around these outcomes. The statements set out below are based on these key outcomes and have been amended to reflect current Government policy priorities.
Being healthy
All children and young people have the right to have their physical, emotional and mental health safeguarded and promoted. Where appropriate, they should be supported to develop a sense of well-being through:
- Positively understanding their identity;
- Building resilience;
- Helping them to develop their self-image and confidence;
- An approach that provides positive affirmation and encouragement.
All young people should be given the encouragement and opportunity to live a healthy lifestyle.
Being safe
All children and young people have the right to be safe and secure, protected from harm and neglect, and to live in an environment that enables them to develop to their full physical, mental, spiritual, moral and social potential. This includes being safe from a range of concerns. When they need help to achieve these outcomes it should be available in a timely way and delivered through effective interventions.
All children and young people have the right to family life wherever possible and to be supported to take part in community life. They have the right to a continuity of care wherever possible and to develop and preserve their own identities.
All children have a right to a loving and secure home and, where this cannot be provided by their birth parents and wider families, children should have the opportunity to experience this through adoption, special guardianship, child arrangement orders or long term fostering.
Enjoying and achieving
All children and young people have the right to good education and training which meets their identified needs and equips them to live full adult lives. Looked after children should have the opportunity to attend good schools, higher education/training establishments where they make the expected or greater than expected progress and effective use is made of the additional resources available for them through the pupil premium. All children (not forgetting young carers) have the right to time and support to pursue appropriate leisure interests.
Making a positive contribution
All children should be encouraged and supported to make an age-appropriate positive contribution wherever they are living or call 'home'. They will be able to do this best where they have a continuity of care, an understanding about their identity and information which they can use to make informed decisions about themselves. Therefore, contributing to their own lives.
Children, young people and care leavers should also be encouraged to take an interest in their communities, through school, higher education/training or local clubs, and to take part in activities which contribute to these and /or support others.
Economic well-being
All children have the right to be supported in their studies, to be prepared for adult life and work, and to be equipped with the skills and knowledge that will help them overcome any social disadvantage, become self-sufficient and able to make positive choices for themselves.
3. Key Principles
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children will always be at the centre of the work Local Authorities and their partners undertake with children and their families. The child's needs are paramount, and the needs and wishes of each child, be they a baby or infant, or an older child, should be put first, so that every child receives the support they need before a problem escalates.
Children's Services, together with their local authority colleagues as corporate parents, will work to secure the above outcomes by working to enable a child's own family including their wider family to meet their needs. They will facilitate services, including early help services, to support children and families consistent with the child's safety and well-being.
Where a child cannot be cared for within his or her immediate family, strenuous efforts will be made to identify potential carers within the wider kinship network of the child who are able and willing to meet the needs and best interests of the child. If continuing care within his/her family is not possible, every effort will be made to identify suitable alternative carers through adoption or other forms of permanence. Efforts to secure the child's future must be timely and avoid delay. Children's Services will ensure that permanence plans are made for all looked after children within 4 months of their becoming looked after.
Children's Services will ensure that children who are looked after are placed in properly approved placements, suitable to meet their needs and that, wherever possible, siblings are placed together. They will be placed in a family placement unless there are assessed reasons why residential care or an alternative type of placement is the better option. Contact with their birth family should be promoted, and where required, supported, except where this may be contrary to the child's best interests.
If a young person remains in care until adulthood Children's Services will ensure that they are supported when they leave care, including through remaining in their foster placement (Staying Put), at least until they are 21 (or 24) if in full time education, to give them a positive start to independent living. This support will include personal assistance with living independently and with accessing and making the most of education and employment opportunities.
Children, their parents and other significant adults will be consulted about plans for their care and these plans will be subject to regular independent review. Children and their families will be encouraged to take part in their reviews and can expect that their views will be listened to and will help shape the child's Plan.
Children's Services will ensure that children have access to advocacy services that will assist them in being heard, where this is appropriate.
4. Our Strategy
The Strategy of the Children's Services will be to harness Government policy and funding opportunities to develop evidence-based services that meet the needs of children and families.
To reflect on and consider feedback on local and national issues and to promote a learning and development culture that will work to provide:
- Sustainable and cost-effective structures and services;
- Partnerships with other statutory services and locally based providers;
- Well-trained and supported staff who are able to carry out their responsibilities effectively;
- A clear sense of corporate responsibility throughout the Council which ensures that children and their families have their needs met within the community.
This will deliver a range of universal, targeted and specialist services. These services will aim to reduce the numbers of children becoming children in need and concentrate specialist services on children most in need to give them the best possible life chances.

HLK, Vortex's videos
Warlock PoV
Driven by: Harsesis, specced as Demo
This video is split into two parts, and can also be watched in 720p HD (I recommend fullscreen... I just left it at 360 for those with slower connections). His grid frames show incoming heals; the top left-most player is our offtank, and bottom left-most our maintank. Note the moonkin (Beranabus of RNGesus) casts tranquility around 4:10 because our disc priest was grabbed by the first Valkyr; our tank healer tree (me) was also grabbed by a valk once, but luckily the healer grabs were not back to back!
-- Part 1 --
-- Part 2 --
The MT dies around 3:10, and the OT picks it up after the locks mess their pants and soulshatter. The tank was soulstoned, which is how he resses himself while the others are in Soul Harvest phase and then battle-resses the ele shaman around 3:36. The tree stands in a bad place around 4:15 and nearly eats it ;) This is why we must stay away from our soakers! We are all alive when he reaches the 10% mark.
...gg moonfire spam from the giggling resto druid.
Shadow Priest, Prot Pally PoV
Driven by: Kuchki, specced as Shadow, and (to be added) Alyae, specced as Prot
This is the "short," raw version. They plan to expand the video with dual views between the two players and an intro sequence.

I finally saw what happened to you to nearly kill you. Two spirits at once - you're a lucky girl to live through that. Mal's Bubbles, incorporated, can be thanked for soaking most of the first one.
I'd been curious as to how much the Feral tank and Ele shaman did to the boss by "exploiting" the frostmourne room. If Bob's trackers are correct, about 260k health disappears over the course of that room. Over the course of the previous room, the boss loses about 190k to lingering DoT damage. So, I'd wager that the little rez trick netted us something on the order of 70k damage - something that we easily had time for with all 10 raiders alive and 30s until enrage when the Fury went off.
Also, props to that Disc priest for getting off a Holy Fire and an offensive Penance shortly before the end - I hear Penance is a beast of a damage dealing ability.

Wow, huge congrats. We've bashed our heads on it for a month and just can't make it all work. All seems to go wrong around the second defile after the first transition; 62% or so.
Kudos, seriously, the fight drives me bonkers. I'm usually still clicking weapon swap target shiv macros in my sleep afterwards :'D

Honestly you will see when see my video exactly when Muj died to the three spirits.
I sat there looking directly at them wondering what i could do to get them before they killed her.
No taunts and knowing running in there could potentially kill more people with a pop that chained more people. There really wasn't much we can do to clean that up except group up on the LK more to ensure every spirit comes towards the middle soakers.
The only way to get stray spirits now is to either DPS them and hope you get aggro or taunt them.

Wow. As usual I'm a day late and a dollar short. Congrats on the awesome run! Very impressive and a testament to dedication and teamwork! Thanks for the vids of the fight as these were very interesting to follow. Happy hunting!

This 'N That
The Angels have announced their Opening Day roster. Darren O'Day makes the leap from Double-A to join the Angels bullpen. Moving up from Triple-A are relievers Jason Bulger and Rich Thompson.
Dustin Moseley returns to the starting rotation. Nick Adenhart will report to Triple-A Salt Lake.
The minor league affiliates should be able to announce their rosters today or tomorrow. Soon as we know anything official, I'll have it here.
You'll need a subscription to read the article, but the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette has a lengthy article on the Angels' minor league pitchers, focusing in particular on Nick Adenhart and Nick Green.
The article concludes:
Angels director of player development Abe Flores said the organization, long known for producing quality, versatile middle infielders, now is about to see a wave of young pitchers come through the ranks.
Players like Adenhart and Green, as well as former Travs Darren O'Day and Kasey Olenberger, who have made a bid to join the Angels' bullpen, are the beginning of that wave, General Manager Tony Reagins said.
"We think that we can build some depth in the organization. We have some young kids that are exciting," Reagins said. "Some of those kids were in camp earlier and the candidates that we have internally, Green, Adenhart, Olenberger, we're optimistic. Hopefully we can get Escobar and Lackey back so those kids can continue to develop."
Flores said continuity is one of the reasons the young pitchers have continued to develop as they have climbed the minor league ranks.
"All of our [roving pitching coaches] spend enough time in major league camp and are in constant contact with our major league staff that we're uniform in our philosophy," Flores said. "Nobody ever sits back scratching their head wondering 'What are they doing up there?' There is none of that. That's been completely eliminated."
The last paragraph is rather amusing, as occasionally I see some self-declared experts on Angels fan sites who claim there's no communication at all between the Player Development staff and the parent club's coaching staff.
The Quakes have an exhibition game Tuesday evening against Azusa Pacific University. I'm told the games will be webcast. If it is, I'll have the webcast link on the FutureAngels.com home page.

App new weapon against assaults
A FREE app, inspired by the death of Jill Meagher, that uses GPS technology to report sexual assaults will be up and running within months, according to the state's leading body against abuse.
The Centre Against Sexual Assault expects the app will help lower barriers for assaulted women who do not want to report incidents.
The head of the south-east branch of CASA, Carolyn Worth, said the agency was developing the app - the first of its kind in Australia - to record patterns of crime against women. The idea for the app came after the death of 29-year-old Irish national Jillian Meagher in September.
''Several women went on Facebook in the days after Jill disappeared and said they had experienced similar incidents around Sydney Road, but none of them had reported them to the police,'' Ms Worth said.
The new app will allow users to use their mobile phone to anonymously post details about threatening sexual behaviour, including the time and place it occurred and a description of alleged offenders. The data collected will then be given to police.
Users can also seek counselling services through the app, which is expected to be released early next year.
Ms Worth said the Crime Stoppers-style app was aimed at women who would not usually report an assault. ''Many women who are sexually assaulted, often in a very serious way, don't report it,'' Ms Worth said. ''We know this because they come to us for emergency contraception and sexual health tests. Many say they would be happy to do something without going to the police. This is something they can do.''
Victoria Police recorded more than 8300 cases of rape and sexual assault in the 2011-12 financial year. But according to the Australian Centre for the Study of Sexual Assault, only one in six women attacked report it to authorities.
Moorabbin Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team's Detective Sergeant Matt Campbell welcomed apps that used GPS to track offenders.
''Any app that provides co-ordinates would certainly assist us,'' he said. ''But I would firstly encourage anyone who is assaulted to ring triple-0. If a victim comes forward and makes a statement we can start investigating immediately.''
But Ms Worth said a third of women who attended CASA clinics within a couple of days of a sexual assault did not want to go to the police. ''This is the time when they are most likely to report,'' she said. ''In New South Wales and Queensland, victims can report sexual assault to the police anonymously online, but it hasn't been finalised in Victoria yet, so this app would fill that gap.''
Ms Worth said the app would not provide the same detail as American versions, which show sex offenders with headshots on a map. She labelled those apps as a ''bad idea''.
''They almost give people an invitation to go and target someone,'' she said. ''Our app is about empowering women, not pulling up a list of who lives where.''
Ms Worth acknowledged the risk of false reporting but said the app would identify patterns of behaviour rather than isolated incidents. ''We'll only refer incidents that have similar times, locations and descriptions,'' she said. ''Police still need evidence.''

When women in our culture show character, they are not considered desirable, as opposed to the generic, artless 'beauty'. My paintings reveal women's bare humanity with all its flaws and imperfections, blown up to an unavoidable size.
I pose the question: Why does society find the average woman's body so confronting?
How have Adriana Picker and Lucian Freud critiqued notions of traditional beauty and the objectified woman through the depiction of 'real' fleshy nudes? Compare the rich painterly colour in Picker's work to the linear nature of Freud's etching. How has each artist used their respective mediums to capture the contour and proportion of the female figure?

We're used to will-she-make-it-or-won't-she medical cliffhangers on TV dramas — but on "Idol"...?
"American Idol" ended just that way Wednesday night, its first this season in Hollywood, when a 16-year-old with serious "Idol" prospects took a nasty fall from the stage.
Symone Black had just finished performing "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" for the pleased judges panel when she stepped sideways and off of the stage.
U.S. & World
She appeared to land badly. "She hit her head," said a stunned Steven Tyler, while Symone's dad and "Idol" crew members immediately rushed to her aid and called for a medic.
While the "Idol" crew tended to Symone, the credits rolled at the end of the show.
Here's hoping she wasn't seriously injured and is back on her feet singing soon.
