Subway and McDonalds: proof that people will eat garbage if it is marketed correctly
I like sandwiches
as with so many things in life, a promise of 12 inches rarely measures up in reality.
No game will ever kill wow. Though Blizard themselves are making a pretty damm good attempt lately.
This reminds me I still have more or less 6 inch of subway left in the fridge. Thank you thread.

The sad part is someone actually took the time to measure it.......
Oh, and their "five dollar footlong" deal, is crap, just like Pizza Hut's "$10 any pizza" deal. Subway's deal only counts certain subs, only happens sometimes at some stores, and if you really want meant on there, it gets expensive.
Are people actually so fat the care about something like this.
Subway should just name them large and small so people shut their idiot mouths.
They can dynamite Devil Reef, but that will bring no relief, Y'ha-nthlei is deeper than they know.
Yawn, I won't touch Subway if there's a Jimmy John's or better yet, a real deli nearby.
Oh the horror, they're off by an inch
They ask me why I'm bringin' - A baby into battle - That's really irresponsible - And getting them rattled
I say "give me a break - Get off of my back damn, it" - I didn't learn parenting - My daddy was a planet
The problem isn't the bread. It's somewhere in the process of frozen to baked that gets messed up. I have perfected the process, but I can tell you right now, I can't for the life of me get other people in my stores to do it like I do. It's always either under-proofed, under-baked, or both. If the proofer is set wrong, the bread comes out wrong. There are really a lot of factors that go in to it. The main thing is paying attention and watching the time. Most people don't care enough to learn to do it correctly, which, I believe, is the bigger problem you guys face.

Let's face it; nobody relishes the task of making out a will. Squarely addressing the prospect of your own mortality can be upsetting enough. But the financial questions surrounding what and how to arrange for one's heirs are disconcerting, too.
Baby boomers in particular are facing this challenge. The youngest of the 76 million people born between 1946 and 1964 are now 50 years old, the age ripe for tackling long term financial planning.
Why You Should Write a Will
You should prepare a will so your heirs will be taken care of in an organized, legal and efficient manner, according to your wishes. The process doesn't have to be intimidating, even though the procedure can seem daunting.
"Most people do not do estate planning simply because they don't know an attorney and think it's very complicated," said Susan Spraker of Spraker Wealth Management in Maitland, Fla. "People need to know [that] it is not complicated at all. They need a referral to an attorney who has been vetted by someone."
Making out a will can be straighforward: Simply write down on paper how much money – with the amount usually denoted in a percentage basis – goes to each person. You can designate, for example, 25% or 30% to go to each of your children and the remainder to a designated charity.
When you have done this part, you need to get signatures of witnesses, which amounts largely to a legal formality. The number depends on which state you live in.
To fully execute a will that won't be challenged in court, you will need to hire an attorney. Mark Diamond, a Stamford, Conn. attorney, suggests considering two factors:
"Ultimately," Diamond said, "making out a will boils down to specifying the terms of how much money people will get – and how they will receive it. There are often specific considerations. If a child of a minor's age is involved, for example, you may not want to leave money to someone who is so young. In that case, you'd establish a trustee – perhaps one of the parents - until the child reaches a certain, specified age."
The big challenge, of course, can be in deciding who gets what. We must ask ourselves difficult questions: For openers, will my heirs respect my decision and continue to love me, without feeling any bitterness over who got exactly how much of the money?
Am I leaving my personal fortune, everything I have worked so hard for over the course of my entire life, in the right hands? Am I being both fair and wise?
"Many people feel an obligation to leave their entire estate in equal proportions to any children, but this may not be successful in accomplishing their philanthropic or legacy goals," said Derek Tharp of Mote Wealth Management in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Why You Should Update Your Will Every Few Years
"The reasons to review wills include a change in the amount of wealth to be passed," said Susan Elser of Elser Financial Planning in Indianapolis. "Perhaps you want to consider bequeaths to charities or grandchildren, a change in your comfort level of passing wealth to beneficiaries."
Elser points out that perhaps a child "does not appear to handle finances well or has a drug/alcohol dependency creating the need for a trust." Another example is if, "you have a special needs child or grandchild (or) a child's marriage appears to be in jeopardy," Elder noted.

text: Hey Everybody- Nice to hear some people giving more advice on fishing the Snohomish. I know that for many years I was incredibly intimidated by how huge and deep the river is. Do not be afraid. I have most recently had the best luck fishing downstream from the 522 bridge, even though last time an old guy laughed at me and said, "I ain't never caught a trout in this river." The drop of the bank is a quick one, so really you will not be wading out into the river but along the bank to fish more area of the stream. I was fishing with two different flies: modified muddler and a parachute humpy. The muddlers I tie are a little bit stripped to show the gold tinsel more. When fishing the muddler I am using my trusty dry line with about a 12' leader/tippet and a piece of mid-size splitshot. Hope to see some people fishing the river!!!

A spokesman for George H.W. Bush tells The Hill that the former president will not be in attendance at the Republican National Convention in Tampa next month.
Jim McGrath said, "President and Mrs. Bush are more convinced today than ever that we need to get behind Mitt and Ann Romney to help turn this country around, but sadly the situation around President Bush's mobility will prevent them from attending the Tampa convention."
A number of Republican figures are skipping the RNC Convention this year.
Local station KBTX notes:
Bush was nominated as Ronald Reagan's vice presidential choice at the 1980 RNC and has not missed one since. He was first or second on the GOP ticket in 1980, 1984, 1988 and 1992. His son, George W. Bush, was the presidential nominee at the 2000 and 2004 editions.
Bush, now 88, endorsed Romney in his campaign for the White House earlier this year.

Once plugged into an amplifier the straight chords have a very rich tone. I prefer the PT20. To my ears the chords have a looser tuning and add more character, also a little brighter.

Beirut, Lebanon Prominent Saudi religious scholars urged Iraqis to support militants waging holy war against the U.S.-led coalition forces as American troops prepared Saturday for a major assault on the insurgent hotbed of Fallujah.
The 26 Saudi scholars and preachers said in an open letter to the Iraqi people that their appeal was prompted by "the extraordinary situation through which the Iraqis are passing which calls for unity and exchange of views." The letter was posted on the Internet.
"At no time in history has a whole people been violated ... by propaganda that's been proved false," Sheik Awad al-Qarni, one of the scholars, told Al-Arabiya TV.
"The U.S. forces are still destroying towns on the heads of their people and killing women and children. What's going on in Iraq is a result of the big crime of America's occupation of Iraq."
In their letter, the scholars stressed that armed attacks by militant Iraqi groups on U.S. troops and their allies in Iraq represent "legitimate" resistance.
The scholars were careful to direct their appeal to Iraqis only and stayed away from issuing a general, Muslim-wide call for holy war. They also identified the military as the target, one that is considered legitimate by many Arabs who view U.S. troops and their allies as occupiers.
The independent scholars -- some of whom have been criticized in the past for their extremist views -- apparently did not want to antagonize the Saudi government, a U.S. ally, or appear to be flouting its efforts to fight terrorism.
Saudi Arabia has sealed off its long border with Iraq and bars people from crossing into that country. Its most senior clerics issued a statement last year saying the call for jihad -- or holy war -- should only come from the ruler and should not be based on edicts issued by individual clergymen.
The clerics issued a fatwa, or religious edict, prohibiting Iraqis from offering any support for military operations carried out by U.S. forces against insurgent strongholds.
"Fighting the occupiers is a duty for all those who are able," the letter said. "It is a jihad to push back the assailants. Resistance is a legitimate right. A Muslim must not inflict harm on any resistance man or inform on them. Instead, they should be supported and protected."
Besides al-Qarni, the prominent scholars signing the letter included Sheik Safar al-Hawali, Sheik Nasser al-Omar, Sheik Salman al-Awdah and Sheik Sharif Hatem al-Aouni.

Berry and Martinez met on the set of Dark Tide which they were filming together at the time. But the time filming had ended in 2010, the couple was dating. The couple got engaged in January and confirmed the news in March. They were married in Vallery, France in July.
Berry had previously sworn off marriage, saying it just wasn't for her and she could never see herself in a traditional marriage.
"Who knew? I swore [marriage] off, right?" she joked to Extra. "Never say never, people!"
Berry said that her daughter Nahla had been asking for a baby brother or sister but she wasn't sure if she was ready for another child until recently.
"Every night we pray to God, and she's so sweet. She says, 'God, please bring me a bunk bed and a baby sister.' And I say, 'I can do one of those things, I know for sure! The other one we have to keep praying on.' What do you say to her when she wants that and can't understand why God's taking so long, you know?"
Berry announced her pregnancy in April and seemed to glow throughout it. She stayed active and was often see shopping and sporting her baby bump throughout the summer, usually wearing a sundress and flip flops or another comfortable yet stylish outfit.

Red Cross fund-raiser set for South Station on Friday
(Jeremy C. Fox for Boston.com)
The Massachusetts Bay Commuter Rail will host an all-day fund-raiser for the American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts at South Station on Friday.
From 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 7, volunteers will accept donations by cash or check at the transit hub, and the commuter rail will match up to $5,000 in donations. The proceeds will go to support Red Cross relief efforts in disasters such as Hurricane Sandy, which caused devastation in more southerly parts of the East Coast.
The Red Cross provided food, shelter, and relief supplies to thousands affected by Sandy, it said in a statement.
Amanda Giles, host of radio station WMJX-Magic 106.7's "Morning Magic," will participate in the fund-raising event, which will also include a lunchtime performance by singers from the North End-based Street Magic Acapella.

Infographic Of The Day: History Of Hacking
It is difficult to go for a week without hearing a news story about a major corporation or business that has been compromised by hackers.
But only a tiny percentage of hacks make the headlines. The fact is that there are thousands of cyber-attacks every single day on everything from huge corporations and governments to private individuals.
But how has hacking become so commonplace? You might be surprised to learn that the word actually pre-dates personal computers and was first used at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology all the way back in 1955. This infographic tracks the evolution of hacking through its history and shows you some of the most important hacking events and cases that helped to make it infamous.
Whether you think of cyber criminals stealing data and money from the vulnerable, or hacktivists exposing the dark secrets of governments and organisations, there's no doubt that hackers play a huge role in modern life. Read on to learn more about the way hacking has changed over time – you might be surprised by just how many websites are hacked every single day.

Two Seattle-area venture firms are adding some horsepower and capital to a Stamford, Conn.-based startup called InstallFree.
Ignition Partners and Trilogy Equity Partners have led an $8.5 million round in the company, which is developing technologies so that computer users can access applications from any computer.
As part of the deal, Richard Fade and John Connors of Ignition Partners and Peter van Oppen and Chuck Stonecipher of Trilogy Equity Partners will join the company's board.
The company, which unveiled its first product four months ago, is led by Yori Gabay. He previously worked at Gteko, which was purchased by Microsoft in 2006.
Trilogy — started by former executives at Western Wireless and VoiceStream — and Ignition — created by former executives at Microsoft and McCaw Cellular — are starting to work together more closely.
The two firms are co-investors in Telecom Transport Management, which raised $55 million last fall, and Sparkplug, a Chicago wireless broadband startup backed with $22.5 million. Last month, the two venture firms co-led a $16 million investment in Bellevue software startup Xeround.
Interestingly, both InstallFree and Xeround were started by Israeli entrepreneurs.
The fact that Trilogy and Ignition are partnering on deals is something to watch in the Seattle venture market, since both have deep pockets and experienced business leaders at the helm.
For example, Connors is the former chief financial officer at Microsoft and van Oppen is the former CEO of ADIC. (Ignition and Trilogy also boast the former CEOs at AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile USA and former vice presidents at Microsoft.)
That type of experience can be extremely valuable to a startup company looking to recruit talent, attract customers and raise more capital.
Stay tuned to see if this partnership continues to bloom.

In regard to what steps government can take to reduce gun violence to protect our children:
In the 2008 Supreme Court decision in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller the Court held that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
However, Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, made an important qualification. Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited, he stated. "The Court's opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms." He added that the list was not meant to be exhaustive. He also said the court recognized limitations on the right to keep and carry arms, and he indicated that federal bans on weapons such as machine guns may not be threatened.

The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, which is one of the last tuition-free colleges in the country but has been under severe financial strain, will for the first time in more than a century charge undergraduates to attend.
Unions, companies that bid on contracts with the district, school employees, political leaders and others poured more than $250,000 into Buffalo School Board candidates' campaigns during the last two election cycles, but many of those contributions are all but hidden from voters.
Cuomo said the state should take MMA supporters' effort to lift the ban on their sport "seriously" if it promises "significant economic advancement."
The 1947 arguments for an against the Wilson-Pakula Act sound eerily familiar.
Schneiderman said he'll ask a state court in Wyoming County to unseal previously secret documents containing details about the five days in September 1971 when inmates took control of Attica in rural western New York before state troopers stormed the facility to end the takeover.
David H. Petraeus, who resigned as director of the Central Intelligence Agency last November after having an extramarital affair with his biographer, will serve as a visiting professor at CUNY next academic year.
The Poughkeepsie Journal on how Cuomo can stop his slide in the polls: "The governor has to start with one word: Transparency. It's been grossly lacking in the governor's time in office, breaking a major campaign promise about how Albany was going to operate differently under his watch."

Welcome, Spotted Hyenas!Posted at 9:37 am February 22, 2008 by Hali OConnor
Bear Canyon at the San Diego Zoo has a couple of new faces once again. Now on display at the bottom of the canyon before entering Sun Bear Forest are nine-year-old Zephyr and Turbo, two spotted hyena brothers. Each weighing in at around 125 pounds (57 kilograms) and sporting beautiful dark spots along their yellow coats, the two can be difficult to tell apart. However, if you look closely, Turbo has a larger ear notch on his right ear that extends inward toward his head. He also has larger, more prominent spots along the top of his back than Zephyr.
Since the boys are new to my area, I'm just beginning to learn their different personalities. Zephyr seems to be more forthcoming, usually being the first to approach us or respond to our voices with an inquisitive look. Turbo is a bit more reserved, but will also approach for attention. Even though these two are quite friendly toward their keepers, we will never use our hands to scratch and pet them because they have powerful jaws capable of crushing bones. Instead, we substitute a back scratcher that we push between the bars of their enclosure to give them a good rub down. This is welcomed with great enthusiasm, each hyena stretching his neck this way and that to hit at just the right spot.
Out on exhibit, Turbo and Zephyr enjoy basking in the sun, often snuggled together in their Bermuda hay beds. The exhibit contains a large tree platform that Turbo especially enjoys. Unlike Zephyr, who still appears to be unsure of the platform, Turbo will readily stand at the highest point to survey his surroundings. Neither hyena is at all disturbed by Zoo visitors or bus tour traffic; in fact, they seem to enjoy the stimulating visual and olfactory experiences of an ever-changing crowd. They also take notice of birds flying overhead and siamang and gibbon vocalizations and have been seen sniffing the air often. Contrary to popular belief that hyenas are scavengers, hyenas are actually one of the most common and fierce predators in their native home of Africa. You can only imagine what they're thinking when mallards land in their pool!
Also in their exhibit is a two-tiered pool complete with a waterfall. Hyenas are great swimmers, and Turbo and Zephyr have already shown their love of water. Zephyr especially has taken up bone-burying duty with the pool being his chosen site. We haven't figured out the reason yet, but he likes to walk into the pool, drop the bone and then paw at it as if to bury it. When Turbo leaves his bone, Zephyr will often go get it and also bury it in the pool. Some time later, the bones will be out again, usually in bed so the boys can chew at their leisure. One guess has been that the pool might serve to soften the bones after soaking. I have noticed that since this behavior began, less of the bone is left over the next day.
Also called the laughing hyena, spotted hyenas have a variety of vocalizations, the most notorious being a giggling sound similar to human laughter. So far, none of us has heard this yet, but it is my understanding that this noise is produced as a result of fear or nervousness. It can also happen in response to feeling that a food item will be taken away. Since Turbo and Zephyr seem to be best buddies and don't compete over their food items, we may not hear this noise. However, you never know as new enrichment is introduced if something will cause excitement enough for any of their other vocalizations to escape. So far I've heard I've heard two of their sounds: one is a low grumbling sound in anticipation of being fed that sounds a lot like a fog horn; the other is a loud "DOOO WHOP" call most often heard in the early morning hours as we arrive. One of my fellow keepers even heard a fancy trilling noise at the end of this call one day. Hopefully, we'll get to hear more from these guys in the future!
On your next visit to the San Diego Zoo, come see Zephyr and Turbo. You're sure to be impressed by their unique appearance and interesting behavior. They've already won me over!

My teachers and I were talking about an easy way to document what happens in their Guided Reading groups. Their lesson plans are stored on index cards and are organized in a box by level. They wanted an easy form that they could use to document observations and any spur of the moment teaching that occurs. Each student would have a page and then they could be stored by group. What do you think? You can download it for FREE from my TpT store!

I like your form for guided reading. I keep a binder that has a section for each group and in there I put: lesson plans, word work activities, and strategies appropriate for that level (I photocopied all of the Fountas and Pinnell Continuum quick reference sheets). In the back on my binder I keep a tab for each student. I keep sight word checklists, running record forms, and individual notes on students in there. For keeping track of on the fly observations I use a sheet of address labels where I write the student's name, date, and GR level, and then any notes I want to remember. When I have time, I transfer these labels into the student's note's section in their tab. That way I'm not always flipping through my binder trying to find the student's section, because often there is not time when you want to make a quick note.Reply
Tessa on February 13, 2012 at 2:31 AM
We are keeping our lesson plans for each book on index cards and in an index card box. That way, teachers can share lesson plans and they'll know which books are not available because the card is out. The teachers are storing these sheets by group so they can easily write observations and this way they don't have to rewrite entire plans daily!Reply

Thank you for this freebies. I was trying to think of an easy way to keep documentation for each guided group. Especially my RtI children.Reply

Quintessential Mo-Ments No. 10: The Sandman enters to "Enter Sandman"
These days, it's almost a requirement that a Major League closer have a cool entrance theme, but it was (of course) Mariano Rivera who helped turn a fledgling moment of fun into a phenomenon.
Impressed after seeing the reaction that San Diego's Trevor Hoffman got when he entered to "Hells Bells" during the 1998 World Series, the Yankees set about trying to find the perfect entrance for Rivera. After a few songs were tried, freelancer Mike Luzzi brought Metallica's eponymous album to the park one day, hit play on Track 1, and a pairing as sweet as peanut butter and jelly was born.
"Our job was to try and get the building rocking. The gist of it worked, beginning to put the other club to sleep," Luzzi once told Yankees.com of the choice, and it became so synonymous that when Metallica played Yankee Stadium in 2011, frontman James Hetfield even used a guitar pick branded with the Yankees logo and the number 42 just for that song.

Boxer and marijuana lover, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has been suspended for nine months and fined $900,000 by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The actions stem from a positive test for marijuana by Chavez following his fight with Sergio Martinez in September.
Besides the suspension and fine, Julio Cesar Chavez (46-1-1) also lost the fight, the first of his career. The monetary value represented 30% of his purse, and he could have been suspended for up to a year.
The previous violation from Chavez came in 2009, after his bout with Troy Rowland. For that offense, he received a seven month suspension.
"I'd like to apologize to everyone in boxing," Chavez told the commission. "I know this has been a very bad thing for me and my career. A lot of things have been said about it and my reputation. I respect boxing a lot. I've been in it a long time. I try to do the best I can and will continue to try to do the best I can because I love boxing more than ever."
The promoter for Julio Cesar Chavez, Bob Arum thought the fine was excessive.
"The nine months is fine, but a 30 percent fine on a purse of $3 million, that's extortion," Arum told ESPN.com. "That means Julio has to make a decision — is he going to contest the fine in court or he can elect not to fight ever again in Nevada. There's no question the nine months is the nine months, but it's ridiculous money, particularly since you already take out 30 percent for taxes.
"I was hoping for nine months, that worked out. The fine is an absolute stunner. You don't do that to an athlete. Which athlete in any sport has been fined as much as $900,000?"

- "To be mogu is to rule. It is why we were created. Our words are laced with power! Those who do not bend to our will must be broken by our strength. There is no strength without unity. There is no unity without obedience. To obey your Emperor and demand obedience of your subjects is the natural order. When you fight amongst yourselves you fight against your very nature. There is an order to this world, a strength that flows from your emperor down to the very stones of the earth. Do not forget this. Together our voices shall echo across the land like the clap of a thunder before a storm. You are that storm! Rise mogu! And reclaim your birthright as rightful rulers of this land!"[3]
- — Lei Shen
The mogu are powerful, magical titan-forged[4] who live in Pandaria. Proud, hateful, and powerful both physically and magically, the mogu are the foremost enemies of the pandaren. They have fought over the future of Pandaria since time immemorial.
They were created by the Keepers during the ordering of Azeroth to shape and protect the land. An extension of Keeper Ra's will, they were agents of order, obedient and mighty.[5] They would later be afflicted by the Curse of Flesh, eventually losing their way and valuing power and control above all else. Under the reign of emperors such as Lei Shen, the Mogu Empire dominated Pandaria. After the Pandaren revolution and the downfall of the empire, the mogu clans scattered.
Following the arrival of the Alliance and the Horde, the mogu clans made various attacks to reclaim their former glory from the pandaren in the ensuing chaos. Shan Bu and Zhao-Jin the Bloodletter in particular led their clans against the pandaren-controlled Vale of Eternal Blossoms and Townlong Steppes. After the fall of the newly resurrected Thunder King, the mogu were again defeated.

The mogu are a titan-forged race manufactured by the Forge of Wills during the ordering of Azeroth. They were created to dig out the myriad waterways and rivers of the world.[4] Highkeeper Ra used the artifact known as [The Fist of Ra-den], which could channel the fury of storms, to bestow life upon the mogu.[6] Some say that the mogu race was created in the image of Norushen.[7] They were once a legion of stone, heartless and obedient, and by their masters' command, the mogu fought the terrible servants of the Old Gods, shaped the mountains and carved the rivers of the land. The mogu created a magical cradle of life in a hidden valley now known as the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.[8]
For many ages the mogu guarded the work of the titans. The mogu served the titanic watcher Ra-den when the titans left Azeroth. When the Old Gods used the Curse of Flesh on the mogu, they became terrified as their stone forms transformed them into mortal beings. They soon began to breathe, to bleed and to die. But with the flesh came the other curses of mortality: pride and greed, fear and anger. No longer united in purpose, the mogu fought amongst themselves. Powerful mogu warlords gathered up followers and made war on one another. Their battles scorched the land, terrifying the other mortal races.[9]
Though the curse made the mogu mortal, they later found a way to reverse the process.[10]
The Thunder King
During this Age of a Hundred Kings, Lei Shen was born. Once Lei Shen had come of age and commanded his own legions, he announced his intent to awaken the gods. Only his most loyal of followers accompanied him where no mogu had dared tread: into the very heart of the Thundering Mountain, the sacred home of the one the mogu had called their master.[11] History does not record what Lei Shen found when he ascended the mountain and disappeared into its vaults. But when he returned, he wielded the power of a thousand storms and declared the mount to be his seat of power. Atop its summit he built a majestic and forbidden city.[12] Armed with the power of storms, Lei Shen, now known as the Thunder King, gathered together his followers and rose to power "the mogu way", eliminating his rivals one by one. [13] Many mogu saw in Lei Shen the unity of purpose that had been lacking in the generations since their masters had fallen silent. They flocked around the Thunder King's banner and eagerly did his bidding as he enslaved the other races, believing - as Lei Shen did - that the "lesser" races should serve the mogu, just as the mogu had once served their masters.[14]
Possessed of immense size and strength, the mogu built an empire based on might, in which the weak – other races – were subjugated, and the strong – always mogu – ascended to power. Imposing stone monuments and titanic siege engines displayed the power of the mogu to the rest of the land. They turned their strength on the lesser inhabitants of Pandaria, shaping flesh to their whims as they shaped rock. The great Serpent's Spine wall, which separates the Townlong Steppes and the Dread Wastes from the rest of Pandaria, was built by the mogu's slaves during the rule of Lei Shen.[15]
Pandaren revolution
12,000 years ago,[16] mogu emperors ruled Pandaria, keeping the gentle pandaren as their slaves. The lucky ones clowned enough to entertain their mogu masters. Those pandaren lived in stone palaces, and their lives knew relative luxury. But that luxury ended when a joke offended and only the snapping of a spine or the popped removal of a head could inspire more mogu laughter.[17] Throughout many emperors' reigns, the pandaren may have attempted several failed uprisings. Although Emperor Tsao reformed the slave laws, allowing the pandaren more freedom, his successor's actions led to the downfall of the mogu empire. Emperor Lao-Fe was brutal and had very severe and strict rules on slaves. He ruled with a no-weapon policy, but the pandaren, through tenacity, diplomacy, and a unique form of unarmed combat, staged a successful revolution that deposed the mogu and established an empire that would prosper for thousands of years.[18] One hundred years after the downfall of the mogu empire, the Zandalari launched a full scale invasion of Pandaria to destroy the Pandaren empire and restore rule of the land to their mogu allies. The mogu clans, no longer led by a central ruler, began to break up and fall. However, the majority of mogu clans assisted the Zandalari in their invasion, launching raids of pandaren towns, villages, and farms. The Zandalari penetrated deep into Pandaria, and besieged Dawn's Blossom. Despite their attempts, the attacking forces eventually lost the battle, turning the tide of the war and causing a Zandalari retreat. After the war, the mogu clans scattered completely, and most of them were not seen again for centuries.[citation needed] Warlords and emperors that were killed, were buried in Tu Shen Burial Ground by pandaren.
Recent history
After millennia of prosperous rule by the pandaren, mogu scouts returned to the land. However, it seems the mogu had something much grander planned than just scouting the world. A few mogu clans began attacking regions of Pandaria, gaining control of small towns and farmlands. A few clans had become united by a new king, Xin the Weaponmaster, whose lofty dreams of conquest threatened the region. However, despite his attempts, Xin was killed before any of his plans could come to fruition.[citation needed]The mogu later stepped up their attacks, launching full scale assaults on the Vale of Eternal Blossoms and Townlong Steppes, besieging Niuzao Temple. Every defeat they suffered seemed to strengthen them, as new waves of mogu began to appear, now reunited with the Zandalari, who had returned to Pandaria. Having rebuilt their former alliance, the Zandalari began to fulfill an ancient prophecy to resurrect the First Emperor. The mogu launched a full scale assault in a last attempt to reconquer Pandaria.[citation needed]
The mogu craved the domain they once held, and to regain it were willing to sweep usurpers and invaders alike into the dust. Awakened from his tomb by his old Zandalari allies, Lei Shen returned, promising to reclaim his ancient empire. The Thunder King reemerged on the Throne of Thunder that served as his seat of power, gathering armies from all over Pandaria to his island citadel.
Once more the heroes of the Horde and Alliance were called forth to take on this threat, doing so in the midst of their own dark and bloody war reignited by the decimation of Theramore and the betrayal that split the Kirin Tor. Waging war on two fronts isn't easy and the Shado-Pan had no interest in anything more than using the power of both factions to put down a more clear and present danger.[19]

After Lei Shen's defeat, the surviving mogu, lacking a powerful leader to keep them together, likely dispersed back to their old clan homes throughout Pandaria.
The Mogu'shan Palace, located in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, contains some of the secrets of their lost empire, including the Titan facilities and libraries. Mogu culture is very heavily influenced by their former masters. Over time, the mogu developed aspects of culture on their own, although main Titan principles are still practiced by mogu to this day.[20]
- Main article: Flesh-Shaping
Unlike "lesser races" that need schooling in the arts of magic, the ability was innate in the mogu. From what is known about mogu usage of magic, it is clear that their magic users did not fall into known categories, such as mage or warlock. Special emphasis was placed on flesh-shaping or spirit-capture magic.[21] The mogu are flesh-shapers and can create other creatures. They are known to have created the saurok and grummles.[22]
In many ways the mogu are based on brutal strength and terrible cunning. Even with powerful magic at their disposal, the mogu often preferred to use slaves to build their massive monuments.[23] Enslaved humanoids were marked with branding irons.[24] Forged of iron and imbued with spells of subjugation and pain, manacles with inward facing spikes were forced onto the slave races of the mogu.[25] The blood of many mogu slaves were shed with a bone whip fashioned from the spine of some large and ancient creature.[26] An anatomical dummy of a pandaren was used to document torture techniques.[27]
When the mogu had exhausted their options for enslaved mortal warriors, they turned their attention to creating armies of animated constructs to do their fighting for them. These terracotta warriors would sometimes sit dormant for centuries.[28]
In contrast to the unarmed combat and simple weapons of the first pandaren monks, the favored weapons of the mogu were based on fear rather than practicality. They were large, cumbersome, and difficult to wield.[29]
Favorite pets of the ancient mogu princes, the dog-like quilen make loyal and fearless companions and mounts.[30] Mogu sorcerers, keepers of the secret to bringing stone to life, prefer stolid stone companions over more beastly familiars.[31]
- Mogu warriors often wore heavy "jewelry" such as the [Iron Amulet] as a demonstration of strength.[32]
- The rituals for desecrating a fallen opponent are a well-established part of mogu culture.[33]
- Mogu mummify their dead.[34]
- Across mogu art and literature, one legend is found, repeated and embellished again and again. It is the legend of Shadow, Storm, and Stone.[35]
The mogu empire was a meritocracy as well as an absolute monarchy/dictatorship, where the previous regime and/or dynasty must be overpowered and executed.[36] As a part of mogu culture, when a clan's leader is killed, it is customary for rivals to immediately murder his family and thus exterminate the clan lineage forever.[37]
Valley of Emperors
The mogu view their dead as a collection of parts. Souls could be bound to stone for later use. Flesh and blood could be reforged to extend the lives of those loyal to the emperor. To be buried intact was a symbol of great power and respect. The Valley of Emperors serves as the resting grounds a hundred generations of warlords, kings and emperors who once ruled Pandaria.[38]
Relations with the Zandalari
When the mogu still ruled over Pandaria, they were allied with the Zandalari. However, both the mogu and Zandalari held contempt for one another. The mutual contempt between the two would grow to polite indifference. They trusted the other not to attack, because they were confident they would defeat the other. While Zandalari and mogu stood back to back, they did not watch the other and did not see the other falter.[39] The Zandalari assisted them against the embryonic Pandaren empire. Despite being defeated and pushed from the island now called Pandaria, the Zandalari, just like the mogu, remained in Pandaren lore, and slowly turned into Pandaren children's "bogeymen".[40]
With the mists that once shrouded Pandaria now gone, the Zandalari, curious about Pandaria and their ancient mogu allies, have dispatched forces to Pandaria in an attempt to re-connect with the mogu. It seems they want to help them retake the land from the Pandaren and once again bring it under mogu rule. However, the Zandalari seem too desperate to acquire Pandaren territory and appear to have more motives than just helping out their ancient mogu allies.[41]
Male mogu stand between a head to a head and a half taller than Zandalari women. Some mogu are only about a foot taller than a jungle troll. In rare cases, they can be taller than a male Zandalari.[42]
A mogu that is a foot taller than a jungle troll would be around 9'4" tall.

- The Twin Consorts are rumored to be the only known female mogu in existence.[43]
- [Stuffed Lushrooms] was once a favored dish of the ancient mogu, and has since become a staple in pandaren cuisine. [Mango Ice] is also thought to have been a favorite among the ancient mogu.[44]
- Mogu (魔古, mógǔ) is Chinese for, roughly, "occult ancient" or "devil ancient," and Mogu'shan (魔古山, Mógǔshān) is Chinese for "Mogu Mountain". Although Chinese World of Warcraft uses "魔古" as the official translation, mogu can also mean "mushroom"(蘑菇, mógu)
- The mogu, like their quilen pets, bear striking resemblance to the Chinese guardian lions (also known as Shishi lions). Indeed, early concept art for the race is labeled "Foo Dog Warrior."
- Mogu use the same skeleton as male Eredar/Draenei.
- Jiang-shi (殭屍, jiāngshī), a special kind of undead mogu, was slated to appear in Pandaria according to the Mists of Pandaria Bestiary.[45] However any mention of it was removed and there has been no mention of the creature name in-game. The model has since then been used as spectral creatures for different creatures.
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.
Gender and reproduction
While initially created by the titans, sources such as the Lei Shen lore object describe mogu as being 'born' to other mogu, and "The Lost Dynasty" says that mogu can have sons (though not how). This suggests at least some degree of reproduction by mogu themselves, following their being affected by the Curse of Flesh. However, all mogu known to currently exist are male.[43] Mogu females used to exist, with mothers and sisters being used in mogu insults,[46] a famous saga about Lei Shen and Sparkmancer Vu's feud over a woman,[47] and Monara being a slain queen (and the last queen) of the mogu.[48] This raises the issue of the current state of mogu reproduction.
Since mogu females have existed in the past, it can be surmised that they were created by the titans along with the males. Their apparent lack of presence raises a number of possibilities:
- The females have mostly or entirely died out, perhaps due to a relative physical weakness in an extremely violent culture (although a race dependent on sexual reproduction would be expected to take great care, probably on an instinctive level, to ensure that this did not happen).
- This is unlikely, unless the females were systematically being killed by the males for some reason. It is also impossible to say how natural female mogu would compare to the males -- while human males tend to be the physically stronger of the two, the female is the strongest in some other species (such as hawks). But disparity in strength alone would not seem to account for wiping out an entire half (presumably) of the population.
- The females are (perhaps owing to their scarcity) being hidden, or protected far from where they may suffer harm (or where their children would be placed in danger)
- This possibility is supported by what is known of mogu culture. In several real life human cultures, especially those more reliant on older values, the women are essentially forced to stay at home, often with a heavy penalty for appearing in public (see purdah for an example).
- The females are elsewhere, or simply have not yet been discovered.
It should also be noted that no mogu children have been found to exist, although they are mentioned in Sparkmancer Vu's epitaph. This may again suggest that both the females and children are being kept well out of harm's reach, or that neither are any longer to be found in Pandaria. While it seems natural to assume that mogu would reproduce through sexual means, the initial creation of mogu using titan technology should also be remembered, especially considering Lei Shen's possession of much of that technology. Such technology would likely be capable of producing fully-grown mogu.
It is possible that when mogu regained their stone bodies after Lei Shen's conquests, the females were reshaped into asexual male-looking bodies.
While it is possible, if the mogu rely on sexual reproduction to propagate their species, it seems unlikely that they would have allowed all of the females to die out. This suggests that females are likely still in existence, albeit evidently far from any non-mogu eyes. Indeed, if the 'rumours' about the Twin Consorts being the only known mogu females are founded in pandaren experience, this may suggest that no females have been witnessed by any non-mogu race in many hundreds or even thousands of years, if at all. While mogu relics (and the ghost of Monara) prove that females have existed in the past, this serves to illustrate both the common lack of knowledge on the subject, and the apparent scarcity of mogu females.
Lei Shen's Twin Consorts are rumoured to be the only known female mogu in existence[43]. However, these have been confirmed to have been specifically created by Lei Shen, and are "a direct reflection of his will rather than any broader sense of mogu culture as a whole."[43] This description in itself suggests some notable difference between the Consorts and their real-life counterparts, unless it refers only to cultural differences, such as in the roles of men and women within mogu society. For speculation on the creation of the Consorts, see Twin Consorts speculation.
Monara, known as the "last queen of the mogu" apparently represents the last ruling female in mogu society (at least at the level of monarch), slain shortly before the end of the Age of a Hundred Kings.
- Body replacement
Mogu do have the ability to take the spirits from one body, or an already dead mogu, to a newly constructed body. It's possible that many of the mogu that have existed simply move on to a new body when their last one has failed. However, if this was the case many previous leaders would have come back and either retained their place in society or attempted to take it back.

Edes Mostoha (Sweet Stepmother) was the brainchild of Arthur Lanker, one of Hungary's foremost children's-theater entrepreneurs. Six-year-old Gizy Pesci sets the story in motion as the precocious daughter of widower Antal Pager. Having hoped to marry Pager herself, Pesci's nasty aunt Piroska Vaszary tries to set the little girl against her new stepmother-to-be Maria Tasnadi Fekete. Rather than create a scene, Tasnady Fekete withdraws from the picture and shortly afterward takes a job as a teacher at a girl's boarding school. There's a happy ending in the wings when Pesci turns out to be one of Tasnady Fekete's students!

Bumps in the Night
|Ebook Details
Title: Bumps in the Night
Author: William Todd
Format: Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) Also available in HTML and Microsoft Lit
File Size: 473kb Unzipped (.pdf).
Number of Pages: 111
Summary: A collection of nine chilling short stories of the supernatural and the macabre.
Author Bio: William Todd has been writing online for almost ten years. He was the third most popular author on the website Storiesbyemail.com before it shut down. He has an 8 year old son Kiaran, who is a budding author himself, and a 6 year old daughter Alina, who has Down's Syndrome. He and his wife Joan have been married for 10 years, and make Erie, PA their home. When not writing, he is a full time histologist and a part time pathologist assistant at a local hospital. His hobbies are writing, running, reading, and watching old movies.
Bumps in the Night hits a few bumps in the road in its endeavor to terrify the reader, The Whitaker House Curse
The Whitaker House Curseis a first-person account in which the protagonist hurriedly relates his fateful tale under threat of an imminent deadline. It has such great voice I almost felt I was reading something from Edgar Allen Poe. However, the epilogue seemed a bit tacked on and unnecessary, and it almost ruined the ending for me. I think the story would be better without it. On the other hand, Jack, a chilling first-person take on the infamous serial killer, probably has the most surprising–and ultimately,
Rounding out my favorites of the bunch are The Night Stalker and Bumps in the Night. In The Night Stalker, a prostitute suspects her latest john may just be a killer when he drives her down a dark, isolated road. The second half of the story is terrifying, and I loved the ending. Bumps in the Night is told from the viewpoint of a Down Syndrome girl–a delightful young protagonist with a fresh, new voice–who once a month listens to the horrifying sounds of her father's transformations. My only quibble with this story is that because it's written with Todd's wonderful slightly turn-of-the-century tone, the mention of computers by the protagonist jarred me; until then my mind's eye had placed the setting in the distant past, not modern times.
Similarly, the characters in The People Under The River speak like 1930's gangsters, so their references to 1970's pop culture (and use of a weapon created in the 80's) made me reorient my initial impression of the time period. This story, in which two killers' dumping ground is at risk of discovery by an innocent young couple, is the least frightening, since it doesn't deal with anything supernatural, though it has a satisfying ending. The malevolent entity encountered in Ghost Hunters had the potential to be the most terrifying for me, but the ending fizzled instead of sizzled. The same was true for The Delivery, in which a scientifically-minded courier has his beliefs turned inside out, though the narrative benefits from Todd's period tone of voice.

Benefits of Work Study CPT
CPT is an opportunity for international students to earn extra money in US dollars, and to simultaneously get work experience in their field of study. Having work experience immediately after graduation is immeasurably valuable when searching for a job – not to mention international work experience.
- Earn Money
- Many Work Study CPT allow students to start working right away because the curriculum requires an internship in their first or second semester of study. That means that international students can begin working and earning money in US dollars. The wages paid are also equal to those paid to a US citizen doing the same role. After taxes, students can use their income to pay for their education needs, or for miscellaneous expenses as well.
- Specialized Curriculum
- Work Study CPT programs are specifically designed so that paid internships are required and are part of the entire degree program. Because of this, students have the unique opportunity to begin working in their first semester at school – unlike other programs which only offer CPT after a minimum of one year.
- Work Experience
- Working in the US can be invaluable no matter if you return to your home country or get sponsored on an H1B – or beyond. Working in the US helps improve your English fluency, business etiquette, and gain practical work experience in your field.
- Improve Your Odds
Of Employment
- Getting a job is no easy task, especially in today's economy. Having a US degree can certainly help – and gaining valuable work experience will set you apart from your peers and show that you've got the knowledge and hands-on experience required for the job.

A new over fifties club is setting up in Gilford.
The decision to form the group, which will be known as Kindred Spirits, was taken during a public meeting of Gilford Concerned Residents Group (GCRG).
The club will operate on Wednesday afternoons from 2pm until 4pm and will be launched on March 12 at Gilford Community Centre, Stramore Road.
Membership of the club will be open to persons in the region of 50 years of age and over thereby offering an opportunity to those not yet 50 but who are keen to participate in the club. There is no upper age limit.
Mary Quinn, Vice Chair of GCRG said: "There will be a range of activities to suit a variety of interests and fitness levels.
"And for those not interested in participating in the various activities, the club presents an opportunity to meet friends and neighbours, have a chat, cup of tea/coffee and just enjoy the company and friendship on offer. It is hoped that people in the greater Gilford district will participate in the club, the more the merrier."
The cost will be £2 per person per week.
The committee is appealing to residents to participate and to make the club that everyone wants to join - "a club that provides a first class social opportunity one that builds on the already excellent cross community relations in the area", said Mary.
Mary has been working with a small team of volunteers namely Patricia Millar, Margaret Johnston, and Patricia Derby to research and do 'spade work' in a bid to create a Gilford club. The team of volunteers has increased and there is real excitement and interest in setting up a cross community and cross gender club.
Mary was elected Chairperson of the club, Harold Massey Vice-Chair, Timothy Mayes Treasurer with Patricia Derby and Margaret Johnston assistant Treasurers, Patricia Millar Secretary and Ruth McBurney assistant Secretary, Terry O' Donnell and Ronnie Beattie were elected committee members.

Everyone hates being lied to. There once was a time when television commercials were lies. No, I am not talking about cigarette commercials promoted by lab-coat-wearing doctors. I am talking about the famous Listerine commercials that used to tell everyone that gargling with Listerine could shorten the duration of a common cold or flu or relieve its symptoms. I can remember gargling with Listerine as a little kid and I figured it must be true because the stuff tasted like medicine. It turns out it was all a lie. I vaguely remember the government stepped in and there was something called "Truth In Advertising" which forced the company that makes Listerine to actually advertise that it could not help sick people.
What followed were commercials that, (briefly as as an almost subtext) casually and quickly mentioned that Listerine did not have these medical abilities as part of their campaign to focus on the fact that Listerine killed bad breath.
This was the genesis, I believe, of the commercials we see on television today that advertise medications. I am sure you know what I mean. It is almost comical how they list all the side effects and one has to wonder if the medication is worth it.
My first point is that, in the culture of today, people expect our media to tell us the truth and we resent being lied to.
My second point is that this transfers, unexpectedly perhaps, to our online social media. The internet has evolved. In the early days of the internet, only a few people made web content. Today, anyone can make web content. But people who post opinions and praise for their beliefs are doing something else unexpectedly. They are pitchmen for their personal ideology. If these people have the right to express falsehoods as deeply and compassionately held ideas, I too have the right to counter them. Without intention, perhaps, they are misleading people. They are performing the act of an advertiser. And just as the people who made Listerine did not have the right to lie to people, so to do people who present supposition and dogma as facts do not have the right to send the next generation down the wrong road.
Social media like Facebook is fun for posting photos of your puppies and kittens. But it is not the place to make your case on social issues that can change the course of history. Important comments are drowned out and replaced by more current and less important posts. Changing the world is what blogs and forums are for. Here, if you make your case, your comments will not be deleted. Plus, it will be accessible for the entire internet and not just a handful of facebook users.

Last weekend my husband and I went out to dinner and a movie (what a treat!). We decided to see the new Will Ferrell movie – maybe you've seen it too?
{There's so much I could say about the movie -and I will on a future blog post – because the title alone is so interesting from the perspective of a professional organizer.}
At one point during the movie Ferrel's character tells his AA sponsor Frank (Michael Peña), "People say the dining room is the most underutilized part of the house, but I say it's the front yard."
I laughed out loud. I think that's probably true – I mean really, how much do you use your front yard? No. Seriously though, I know a lot of people who don't use their dining rooms very much.
In fact, I've actually converted my formal dining room to a home office. I work from home and the basement office just wasn't working for me anymore. I was too far from the action – especially with little kids. Moving my office to the main level was an organizational decision first, and a decorating decision second. I am so much more productive and efficient from this simple move.
With the office on the main level I can hear kids playing no matter where they are in the house. I can even watch them play outside since my window looks out on the front yard. I can quickly jump up and grab my lunch, or move a load of laundry to the dryer. I can even pop in as I'm cooking dinner and check emails if necessary.
When we first moved in I thought that this room would be the dining room (because that was what is was supposed to be, right?).
Shortly after we were somewhat settled I decided that the living room would become our dining room, because unlike the quote from the movie I found so funny, we do actually use our dining room quite a bit – and I needed a bigger place to seat people (that idea was inspired by an old episode of Candace Olsen's Divine Design). At that time, the official dining room became this totally unused area of the house. I don't have a picture of it (I wish I did) because that's how much I detested it. I thought it might become a library – chairs, built-in bookshelves – but that would have definitely been the most underutilized room in the house. Then one day – a lightbulb moment – I moved my desk upstairs and I've never looked back.
I did want to do something to help it feel more like a real office though and separate it from the rest of the house – so we decided to build a wall. Here are some of our "during construction" photos.
The goal of the design was to provide enough of a divider to establish a different room – but to still let in as much natural light as possible and to keep the open feel of the main level. The long window panes on either side of the doors, the french doors and the transoms all worked to meet that goal.
Here's how the room turned out. I have to say, I love it!
Decorating the room took more time – but in the end I love the colors, the art work (that's homemade artwork – just $10 for all three pieces), the nick knacks and family photos. I'm always adding something – my next two projects are a cute little foot stool for the chair and a fabric covered bulletin board. I'll post pictures of those once I finish them.
It's amazing to me what such a simple move can make. The underutilized dining room is gone now and I don't miss it one bit!

TEL AVIV (Mar. 29)
The measures taken against Jews in Iraq has intensified the fears of Jews in neighboring Iran that similar measures will be taken there, Rabbi Barnett Brickner, of Cleveland, reported here today on his arrival from Teheran. He said that he would make a report on the situation to Jewish organizations in the United States and would inform American Government authorities of his impressions.
A total of 4,200 Iraqi Jews was transferred from Iraq to Israel by Operation Ali Baba – the Bagdad-Lydda airline – in the week ending yesterday, an operations report disclosed today. The new arrivals protested bitterly at the treatment accorded them by the Iraqi authorities. They declared on their arrival at Lydda Airport that police and customs authorities at Baghdad had manhandled them and had forced them to remain without drinking water for as long as seven hours at a stretch. Police frequently beat up the Jews assembled at the airport awaiting transportation, they said.
The immigrants reported that they were not allowed to be present when the customs officers went through their hand luggage and they learned only on their arrival here what had been confiscated. They disclosed that businesses owned by Jews who left Iraq for Teheran had been closed by the authorities and were held as frozen property. Unless the owners return to Iraq within two months from their departure, they said, their property will be subject to confiscation under the recently enacted Jewish property sequestration laws.
The labor newspaper Davar, in an editorial today on the problems posed for Israel by the influx of refugees from Iraq and other countries, said that the issue confronting each Israeli resident was "some more margarine or another Iraqi Jew." The paper declared that the public must be informed of the need for further austerity if the 120,000 Iraqi Jews coming to Israel in the next four months were to be absorbed. This unparalleled mass immigration, the paper declared, will affect everyone in Israel.

At the Facebook conference today, Mark Zuckerberg quashed all rumors of an upcoming Facebook phone. The conference today was held mainly to announce the improvement of Facebook for Android. Apparently when Facebook was about to launch for the Android OS, Google bought the company that Facebook was developing the app with, putting a halt to all development of the app, hence the unpolished final product we can download from the Market. Now that Google has settled the purchase of the company, Facebook is ready to continue development of the app. He mentioned that the app will soon catch up and be on par with the iPhone version of Facebook. The new version of Facebook for Android will have two major additions: Places and Groups. While its been awhile since these functions have been on the iOS app- it's good to know the main reason behind the slow development of Facebook for Android, and that Facebook hasn't forgotten about Google's mobile operating system. How many of you use the official Facebook App for Android? What features do you think the app is lacking at the moment?

Leadership must be demonstrated, not announced.
-- Fran Tarkenton
A new study says workplace hostility is growing.
There are tension, aggression and a general unhappiness that weren't noticed in previous decades, some experts says.
Personally, I think there has always been animosity on the job, but nobody used to talk about it.
These days, people do, because too many of us seem to be going through life like we're auditioning for a TV talk show seat.
Lighten up.
Thinking someone's beneath you can have its consequences, as this story illustrates:
It seems a man flying in a hot-air balloon soon came to realize he was hopelessly lost.
In the distance, he saw a man on the ground below, lowered his balloon somewhat, and shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"
"Yes," the man shouted back. "You're in a hot-air balloon."
The balloonist sized him up for a second, then said, "You must work in information technology."
"I do," replied the man on the ground. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the balloonist angrily, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's of no use to anyone."
The man on the ground only smiled.
"You must work in management," he shouted back up to the balloonist.
"I do," said the balloonist. "But how did you know?"
"It's simple," said the man with his feet on the ground. "You don't know where you are or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position as you were before we met, but now it's my fault."

MAILBAG: Harvey and Joan Lacombe of Aiken send postcard greetings from Alaska and the Yukon.
They write: "Just left Alaska driving on the Top of The World highway."
Morgan and Jewel Allen of Evans send a card from Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, which they call "Awe-inspiring!"
And Victor Navarro of Martinez sends a photo of his daughter Corrie reading The Augusta Chronicle while secured in the stocks at Williamsburg, Va.
* * *
RIDDLE ANSWER: With thieves I consort. With the vilest, in short, I'm quite at my ease in depravity. Yet all divines use me, and savants can't lose me, for I am the center of gravity. Who or what am I? (Answer: The letter V.)
* * *
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEKEND: A $1 bill met a $20 bill and said, "Where've you been? I haven't seen you around here much."
"Oh, you know," the 20 answered, "I've been hanging out at the casinos, went on a cruise, went to a couple of baseball games and the mall. How about you?"
"Oh, you know," answered the dollar bill. "Same old stuff ... church, church, church."
