It's not that hard really. MP5 is going away, replaced by spirit, spirit becomes the main source of mana regen.Originally Posted by Lellybaby

Don't complain!Can the people who think this about the number of sets you have to get keep out? It is NOT about the number of sets you have to get.What about the poor warriors paladins DK's druids shamans that have been gathering multiple sets of gear for years?
It's about the fact that two hybrid classes can do 2 of their roles with 1 SET OF GEAR.
They still have other specs they need gear for, but they can already be in two roles with 1 set of gear (minus trinkets).
What does a holy priest need to do to get his damage gear? He has to wait until Warlocks, Mages and Shadows get their gear.
Which hybrid do you takes if you want an easy swap from damage to heal or vice versa? The one who can do both roles with 1 set of gear
Holy Paladins and Holy Priests both have to compete with multiple other classes to change their role to damage.
Retribution Paladins can get their best healing gear easily after holy paladins, since they're plate exclusive.
If they don't get healing plate, they temporary can get mail/leather/cloth gear traded for some free mastery bonus.
Shadow Priests can get their gear after Disc and Holy Priests ( 1 spec more than paladins), and then they still have to compete with retribution paladins who could need healing gear.
Priests are at the bottom end of the "hybrid" role. They can't switch as easily between their roles as shamans and druids.
Kaesebrezen, hate to say it but a Death Knight has to get two sets to switch between roles. So does a Warrior. So does a druid that's not Balance/Resto, or a Shaman that uses Enhancement.
It's nothing new. Infact, Balance/Elemental will want it for Hit, but they'll probably still have seperate stat priorities from their Resto trees, which is the real difference. And gearing offspec priorities? Who the fuck cares? Really. It's offspec for a reason. If I want a peice of shadow gear as Holy now, I still need to wait for everyone else to get the peice in a raid anyways, get over it. Really. Get the fuck over it.
Priests are not the "bottom" hybrid role. You're just crying over a situation that exists now, it's only who you're competing with that's changed.

~When you speak, I hear silence. Every word a defiance~
I think a lot of puristy types need to try rolling the "real" hybrids a bit more.
Here's a summary:
1) You roll the class perhaps because you want to decide later which role you like most.
2) You decide it's X.
3) Forever, you deal with crap because it wasn't role Y or role Z.
That's the price you pay for the ability to switch, and it is not an insignificant price.
really? when in ulduar and naxx was there more cloth than plate gear? I summed it up once, ages ago now, and I think there was only one boss in ulduar that dropped three cloth and only two plate stuff (although I believe the same boss had melee weapons siutable for plate tanks and none for casters, can't remember though). in totc I stopped caring about gear and in icc I only care about nibelung (I get little angels helping my owl!) so I haven't really checked the looting there.Originally Posted by ramsesakama
to sum it up, ulduar = 3 plate drops (one for dps, tank and heal), 2 mail (phys vs spell), 2 leather (phys vs spell) and 2 cloth (spi vs hit I think, but sometimes it was crit + haste vs either spi or hit), 2-3 weapons (rogue vs warrior vs hunter vs plate tank most of the time, with the spelldagger from the last boss and a healing mace on razorscale vs mage + warlock sword from auriya)
considering good mastery bonuses for using apropriate type of armor i dont see any classes besides holy/disc priest that can use cloth healing gear. so whats the problem? it`s like plate healing gear that noone except holy paladins can use.
No, you're just gonna miss a bit of extra stat if you down-armour. If you think that means that druids/shammies/pallies won't roll on spirit cloth in pugs & 5 mans then you're on acid. I sure as hell will on my pally, druid & shaman. At best the mastery thing will fix the issue with cloth being BiS for non-clothies, though given how badly blizz itemize I wouldn't be sure of even that.Originally Posted by Wogga
Whoa. How about Holy and Disc sharing 1 SET OF GEAR!?Originally Posted by Kaesebrezen
You know what is better than drinking a beer? Brewing your own beer. And then drinking it. And then... Drinking another beer. And then, punching somebody in the snout! That's what!
Dps shammy/druid should be able to utilize gears with spirit on it, since they are gonna soft-locked to mail/leather stuffs in Cata. If not, boss loot table will be even more bloated than it s now, and causes greater frustration with spirit mail/leather pieces. Holy pally's case is bad enough.
Whoa. Go back and read my post. It's about the roles, not about specs.Originally Posted by AetherMcLoud
And if you don't know after reading again, i'm glad to tell you, both holy and disc are the healing role.
You can't compare the tanking role with healing and damage. Compared to healing and dps roles, the number of tanks out there is very few.Kaesebrezen, hate to say it but a Death Knight has to get two sets to switch between roles. So does a Warrior. So does a druid that's not Balance/Resto, or a Shaman that uses Enhancement.
And so, after the Maintanks, you can easily get your tanking gear with those specs.
And you too, read my post again. It's about how easy you can switch between -roles-, not specs.
And for Balance/Elementals it's damn easy. And then, for Enhancement and Feral it will be a lot easier to go from melee dps to ranged, if an encounter favors ranged over melee.
All of you are still in the burning crusade time, where it was about "specs". But we soon have cataclysm, and blizzard is going to continue with their roles.
I don't like this personally, now i have to get 2 different sets, shadow gear is okay for disc healing atm.
Where is the "shafted" in that?
I would hate to have 1 set of gear to be honest as it's boring!
You'll always be in the same gear.. well.. hurray...
It's much nicer to upgrade your sets independently from each other imo.
and yet you don't seem to see the big picture. it's only two of 3/4 probable specs/roles. saying that someone only needs one set to dps and heal in is most probably not true. first, there's the odd chance (being pretty huge) that you just don't want to have your dps spec be elemental or boomkin. and even if you do, I really don't think the specs favor the same stats for both specs. holy and disc doesn't favor the same stats atm, nor does oak and owl. my guess is that in cataclysm owls will have a thing for haste and crit (if they ever "fix" eclipse) while I see oaks favour mastery and haste to a point. (gcd cap, not extremely important if healing does change to a less rejuv-blanketing style of play with the added healthpools and suggested "manaproblems")Originally Posted by Kaesebrezen
huh? how will it be easy to switch between kittie and owl? one set of stats doesn't benefit the other except for crit and stamina. (if haste affects energyregen for ferals too, not just rogues that stat will also benefit both specs/roles)And then, for Enhancement and Feral it will be a lot easier to go from melee dps to ranged, if an encounter favors ranged over melee.
I'm a druid and I have 4 sets of gear and I don't mind it at all. kitty, bear, resto, and balance. QQ moar. Some people just NEED something to complain about. lol 'shafted'...
Damn, priests needs 2 sets to complete all their specs?
That really is higher than any other class.
Especially Palas and Druids, they got it easy with only one set right?

Maybe it's the below-average temperatures this summer, or maybe I'm already looking forward to fall, but lately I've been intrigued by bars and restaurants using warm ingredients in unusually refreshing ways.
By warm, I don't mean hot. I mean rich, comforting, spiced. Don't call it a trend, but I've perceived a bit of a … well, a popular concept. That's easy to do when you have companies like Art in the Age making liquors out of sage, root, rhubarb and gingersnap. The challenge is crafting the right recipe around a savory spirit. Enter the Canton Hooch, Farmstead Grill's seasonally shape-shifting cocktail.
The brand-new (it opened in June) Canton Crossing restaurant is big on farm-to-table fare. Similarly, its cocktail program infuses fresh, thoughtful ingredients into unique concoctions.
Nearly all 11 Farmstead cocktails incorporate an unexpected ingredient. But for all the bells and whistles and creativity, I was most attracted to the Canton Hooch. No, not because I was secretly hoping I was going to be served some sort of locally sourced bathtub gin, as the name implies. But because of its simplicity: gingersnap liqueur shaken with fresh peach juice and spiced syrup.
The SNAP brand liqueur in the Hooch is a treat all its own, with a refined, sophisticated taste one doesn't expect to get in a summer drink. Organic, it's made with hearty blackstrap molasses and fresh ginger — no added sugar. That's important to note, particularly if you're used to ginger ales or beers that tend to have a processed, saccharine twang.
Instead, the ginger retains an earthy flavor. Alone, that doesn't complete the refreshing cocktail you're craving in August. So how smart of Farmstead to incorporate the sunshine of peach juice to mix it up? House-made spiced simple syrup provides even more lightness to balance the rooty base.
Travis Pedley, general manager, noted that fresh juices play a large role at Farmstead — you can get non-alcoholic mixed juices at the adjacent Farmstead Shack, a quick-order version of the restaurant.
Find me a way to smuggle out the Canton Hooch in a to-go cup. There might not be a more surprisingly light taste of summer around.
How to Make the Canton Hooch
2 parts SNAP
2 parts fresh peach juice
1 part ginger infused simple syrup
Combine ingredients in a pint or highball glass over ice and garnish with an orange wedge.

It was supposed to be just one kiss.
Later, they brushed it off but she had asked for just one other kiss, just to make sure.
Then it was him who wanted to really be sure.
Somehow one kiss had led them down a slippery slope, one that involved lots of kissing and eventually, sex. Dan was a gentleman (and also a tease, Blair had thought irritably) and didn't push it after all of their many makeout sessions. It wasn't until one day a naked Blair had thrown him again into a couch and climbed over him, rubbing her body all over his before he really could take no more. She had trailed kisses down his chest, unbuttoning it as she went. She pulled off his jeans and was giving a blowjob before Dan had frantically grabbed a condom, pulled her up and then suddenly he was inside of her and she whimpered at how good it felt. It felt different in a good way. In a really good way. She had decided to take control of the situation and ride him hard, moaning loudly (she had never felt so exhilarated) and coming so hard she thought she was having a seizure .
She promised herself it was the first and only time.
Now, probably the 5,240th time they've been together, Blair laid in total post-coital bliss on the floor. Even though she was panting and too exhausted to move, she still wanted more. Maybe it had something to do with Dan who was so infuriating and annoying and yet, she couldn't help herself whenever he was around. The only games he played were that of being a snobby hipster but even then Blair knew how to always call his bluff. He didn't fit in her social circle and it wasn't so much that she care about that, she was just afraid that once he did see everything that was happening behind the shiny gloss of tedious parties he would become jaded like everyone else she knew. Or worse: become like her.
"Hey, you okay?" Dan reached his arm out to gently caress her shoulder. "Babe?"
Blair sighed. "Yes. Oh god, incredibly so."
Dan could help but smile. There was nothing hotter than a girl admitting that you just rocked her world, especially if that girl was Blair. He had been nervous at first to ask her to go with him to D.C. for a wedding.
"It's just that you know, they're not very rich," he had said nervously, "their house in Arlington isn't very and they're being so nice in letting us stay there because I'm a groomsmen…"
"Oh god Humphrey, are you telling me not to embarrass you?" Blair rolled her eyes. "Because you do enough of that on your own."
Dan had given her a pointed look until she acquiesced with a sigh. "It's important to you. I would never do anything to hurt you."
True to her word Blair was actually…normal during the wedding. She didn't make any snide or underhanded comments about the small church or the bride's David Bridal gown or the fact that they served barbeque during the reception. In fact, Blair was getting along so well with his childhood friends she didn't even freak out over the barbeque sauce that had dripped over her Prada dress. One of his friends even told him that she was a keeper because she was so "down to earth." It took every ounce of willpower for Dan to not burst out with laughter.
Blair was many things. Down to earth was not one of them.
Maybe it's why they worked, because she lived in a world where everything was possible and he had to keep her grounded. Maybe they worked because they drew out the best in each other, with Blair getting Dan to admit that he was often a hypocrite and Dan getting her to admit that she wasn't always right. Maybe it just worked because the sex was incredible because for whatever reason, it worked. He wasn't sure how or when or what but all he knew was that he was in love with fucking Blair Waldorf and he was in love with her as well.
Dan slowly stood up only to scoop Blair into his arms so they could move from the floor to the bed. She giggled as he found her nude thong on one of their pillows, a byproduct of their last session where they had frantically undressed each other and Dan had taken Blair on a table and then the wall. He had shifted Blair's body around until he felt one angle that was practically making her come twice with one stroke. He decided to tackle that hard and fast while reaching down and gently rubbed her clit, Blair's unladylike screams being music to his ears. When she came there were spasms so hard that he barely held on enough to come before he fell over, Blair tumbling down with him. At the moment he was glad he and Blair had stayed in DC after the wedding and had booked a hotel with very soundproof rooms (which they had checked beforehand, much to the amusement of the front desk).
"Hi," he whispered tenderly, their foreheads touching.
Blair giggled. "Hi."
"Thank you for being so good earlier today," Dan said as he wrapped an arm around her and she snuggled into his chest.
"Mmmm, was that my present?"
"Of course. I mean it was so great of you to fake it for so long."
"EXCUSE ME!" Blair exclaimed as she sat up and threw her pillow at Dan. "Have you ever considered the fact that maybe I enjoyed myself?"
"You're just not normally like that. It's a complete different atmosphere than the Upper East Side," Dan said, bewildered as she huffed out of bed.
"I like your friends, asshole!" Blair screamed, hurling one of her shoes at Dan. "And I liked their charming, rustic house! And I LOVE. BARBEQUE!"
Dan groaned as Blair's Chanel bag hit him in the head as he was trying to duck. It knocked over the lamp on the nightstand. "Blair, not the vase!"
Blair stopped and looked down with a frown. She turned it over. "Well it was made in China anyway!"
Luckily Blair's aim wasn't that good and the vase rolled harmlessly along the sheet until it hit the pillow. Trust Blair to throw something just because it was made in China. Hell, she would have thrown a Terracotta Warrior at him if it were next to her. "Okay B, we need to have a talk about your elitist attitude towards China later-"
Blair scoffed. "Please, I love China and you know it. Stop thinking that just because I say one thing when I'm angry-"
"You're angry all the time!"
"Because you make me angry! You're just adding fuel to the fire now."
Dan sighed. "Can you not get offended over one comment?"
"You should know that I never fake it. Not with sex, and not with people. Please, how many times have I insulted you? Your attitude, your family's social status, your money, your lack of art taste, your clothes, your intellect, your face-"
"Please, continue," Dan said dryly.
"You of all people know that I am always myself. Especially when I'm being a bitch," Blair paused. "Which I'm being right now. And yes, I know it."
"And I'm sorry," Dan said, shaking his head. "I sometimes forget that you're an actual person and instead of the cold robot we've come to know and love. Who I've come to know and love."
Blair sat on the edge of the bed primly and crossed her arms as Dan got up and put the vase back in its place. He sat down next to her. "I'm sorry."
Blair sighed and turned away to crawl underneath the covers as Dan looked up at the ceiling and then hung his head while pinching the bridge of this nose, thinking about what he could do to make the situation better.
"Are you coming back to bed or not?"
Dan turned as Blair sat in bed waving a guidebook at him. "We need to figure out what we're doing tomorrow."
"Well, personally, I was thinking of either the Air & Space museum and Lincoln Memorial or the National Art Sculptures Garden and the National Archives," Dan said, climbing back into bed with her and pulling her into his arms. "What about you?"
Blair laid her head on his shoulder. "I actually want to go to the National Postal museum."
"It's art in little squares," Blair protested as he grabbed the guidebook from her. "You'd be surprised to see how much they can fit in such a small strip of paper." She ran her hand through his hair. "Babe, your hair is getting long."
"I know," Dan said distractedly, squinting at the guidebook. "How about we check out the Supreme Court building too? And the Capitol."
"Sounds perfect. As for your hair…keep it long," Blair said devilishly. "It's more for me to hang onto when we're having sex."
Dan laughed and kissed her temple. "I'm sorry about earlier. You know I love you, B."
"Thank you. Despite your lack of tact, I suppose I love you too."
Blair arched into him for a kiss and just like that all of a sudden his hands were tangled in her hair as she pulled him in closer and frantically pressed her body against his while reaching down and grabbing his dick. The next thing Dan knew she was whimpering as he moved slowly in and out of her, her smiling at him tenderly, him moaning her name loudly as he came.
It was supposed to be just one kiss.
A/N: Whew! Thanks so much for the great reviews everyone, I was expecting some flames because I reread it and was mentally kicking myself for the awkwardness and some of the…inappropriateness? I don't know, I've said I'm bad at smut! It was originally supposed to be a one-shot but I think this is a nice companion piece with the same theme but this is the end of this fic! Thank you all so much for the nice comments and for the future not-so-nice comments…okay bye.
By the way, I had a chance to intern in DC for a summer and I LOVED it. I actually really did love the Postal Museum, despite how weird that must sound. Despite all the generic stamps you see nowadays (that is, if you still even use stamps), there's a great history of amazing stamps.
PS: I really hate FF's formatting now where you can't have a few spaces between A/N to the rest of the story

We Want Love, Now What?
Staying in Love is an intentional act. You have to think it if you want to feel it. Love is allowing, It doesn't impose itself. Unlike fear or anger, which just seem to arise like a bull in a china shop. Love sits quietly and waits. We must come to Love if we want it. We have to focus our intention on it. We have to release anything that arises that is inconsistent with it.
Staying in love is a continuous practice. It is a constant vigil. Affirmations are fine and good. Saying them can raise your awareness to a more loving state. Saying a Loving affirmation one moment, then condemning yourself the next, for some perceived wrong, offers nothing. Can you make an error without the condemnation? That is what Love does.
Practicing Love requires mindfulness. Mindfulness is the act of being self aware. Aware of what you are thinking, what you are feeling, your emotional state, as well as any physical sensations. It is also being aware of your reactions to the world around you. In order to do this, you can't condemn what you see. Mindfulness is discernment without condemnation.
Judgement has two parts, discernment and condemnation. Discernment is mindfulness. Condemnation blocks mindfulness. As soon as you view yourself or another as wrong, or bad, or failing, or less than you, or better than you, you block your ability to see and thereby, your ability to Love. How can you allow yourself to really see yourself if the seeing causes pain? Noticing what is creates the opportunity for something better, condemning it guarantees that nothing will change.
Love is as Love does. Taking action, based on the most Loving idea you can muster, even when you think or feel something else, reinforces Loving attitudes. It builds a Loving framework within. When you do this, the other thoughts and feelings quickly fade away. It is impossible to do though, while you are condemning the other thoughts and feelings.
I don't think there will ever be a time when we will have only loving thoughts. That would be inconsistent with the nature of free will and the realm of infinite possibility in which we live. This puts us in the position of needing to manage our thoughts and thereby our emotional framework constantly. It is our gift and our curse to have such splendid power. Is is also our true responsibility. Given the problems that we know arise from not managing our thoughts, it is our most important task.
Staying in a state of discernment without spilling over into condemnation is what Jesus was talking about when he said, "Let those with eyes see and those with ears hear." It is the difference between noticing a beggar on the street and having an insulting thought about his condition. It is also the willingness to forgive ourselves if a condemning thought arises. This allows us to dismiss the thought and return to Love in an instant.
You are the creator of your reality. With every thought, you bring your experience into existence. To maintain your highest aspirations you have to be them, in every moment. If a thought arises that is less than your best vision, you must notice it, forgive it, and dismiss it. Doing otherwise is only slowing our beautiful expedition into Love.

I have no explanation for this behavior. It should publish the node right away if the scheduler publish_on field is blank (and publish is checked in the publish tab).

Hi spike1911
Is the content type setting ticked for 'Publishing date/time is required.'?

We were having this same issue, needing to have some articles scheduled to go live in an hour or 2. By ticking 'Publishing date/time is required' on, saving the settings, and then ticking it back off, we were suddenly able to do this.

I have a content type set to 'Publishing date/time is required.' After the the time passed and the node is published, the publishing date/time is removed from the node by the cron run.
When I try to edit that node after it was published I get that error message (Valid date required for 'publish on') because that publishing date is empty.
Any idea what to do?

Hello Felixbachman,
I think your problem is the same as #1198788: Editing a published node with "Publishing date/time is required" forces users to set a new "Publish on" date/time.
But the original issue above is not necessarily the same as yours, so I am not closing this as a duplicate just yet.

I closed this in error. The original issue is indeed not a duplicate of #1198788. I will edit my post in #8 to avoid any further confusion.
I do think that the original issue might not be occurring any more in recent versions of Scheduler. I have extensively tested and audited the module over the past weeks and have not encountered this. I will change the status to "cannot reproduce" instead of "duplicate".
If anyone still encounters the original issue, feel free to reopen and provide details on how to reproduce it.

Stubborn vanity, nagging doubt and a glorious Eurostars Tower
March 2011
By Geri Dreiling
In retrospect, I should have known that my visit to Spain would be an adventure. After all, the journey that led me to the Iberian Peninsula started with an Atlantic Ocean-sized leap of faith.
It was my very first visit to Europe and the first time I met the man who had become a dear friend over the course of a long distance work relationship. I had known E, a Madrid native, for a year and a half. Over the course of those many months, he became a trusted business resource. He sprinkled warm, witty observations in his emails that managed to coax my often tightly pursed lips into the upward curve of a smile. When we Skyped, he offered words of encouragement in work – and in life.
I worked hard to set aside money to fulfill one of my lifelong goals of seeing "The Europe," as Nurse Betty might say. And a trip to Madrid to meet the thoughtful, shy Spanish programmer and talented designer was what I wanted most.
I needed to meet the enigmatic E.
"Worry about nothing," was his mantra to me as I planned my short vacation. He had offered to greet me at the airport but I refused. I wanted to shower after the overnight flight. I told myself, "You won't be lost forever in Madrid. But a first impression only happens once."
And so I carefully planned my trip from the airport to the Eurostars Madrid Tower Hotel. I visited Madrid's tourist website and learned I could buy a traveler's metro pass online and pick it up when I arrived at the airport. I also found a map of the metro online. I pinpointed the airport and the hotel, highlighted in yellow the probable route then emailed it to E asking for confirmation. I would have to change trains at one stop.
Easy peasy, right? Well….
After arriving at Madrid-Barajas Airport and getting off the plane, I got into the Non-EU passport holder line. After clearing customs, I used one of my favorite tactics when I don't know what I'm doing — I followed the people in front of me. It worked. I had successfully found the luggage area.
But after grabbing my suitcase, I hit a snag – and a snag in an unfamiliar country can cause a momentary anxiety spike.
I could not figure out where to pick up my prepaid tourist metro ticket. The counters near my luggage area seemed to be for currency exchanges. I ventured through a set of automatic doors and, once through, realized there was no way back into the secure area. I froze and forced myself to breath. Finally, I worked up the nerve to approach an information booth and asked about the tickets. I had accidentally stumbled onto the place I needed to be.
With my metro pass in hand, I reminded myself, "I can do this," as I wheeled my luggage toward an escalator that would deliver me to the metro.
Again following the lead of those who looked like they knew what they were doing in front of me, I boarded the metro. I pulled out the highlighted maps I had two-hole punched and fastened to a manila folder with a metal clip. I easily counted the stops, switched trains and emerged from the underground right near my hotel.
I had arrived before check-in time. The clerk gave me a voucher for coffee in the downstairs lounge while they finished preparing my room. "Un café solo, por favor," I ordered. (A black coffee, please.) Coffee is not an optional part of my life and I like to drink it black. Before leaving St. Louis, I asked E how to order it in Spanish then rehearsed the phrase frequently.
The cups of coffee are smaller than what I'm used to in the U.S. – and stronger. As I finished satisfying my caffeine craving, I was told my room was ready. You need a crash course to learn how the lights and blinds work but the amenities can't be beat.
E arrived early. My hair was wet and I didn't have on any makeup. He'd have to wait to see me in person until I was ready, I decided stubbornly.
Whenever I take a trip, doubt is one of my travel companions. Did I choose the right destination? Will the hotel I booked live up to its Internet promises or be crawling with bed bugs? Did I bring enough money? But this time I also had to wonder whether deciding to meet a business associate I'd known for nearly a year-and-a-half only through emails and Skype was a great decision or a terrible mistake.
Doubt stood next to me in the bathroom as I finished getting ready. We breathed deeply together, looked at our shared reflection in the bathroom mirror one last time and then opened the door.
E patiently waited for me and when I appeared, he smiled shyly. His eyes softened warmly. He said sweetly and simply, "Hello, Geri."
At that moment I knew four days wasn't going to be enough. Doubt was sent packing back to the States.

Second night of a two night run… Qu Junktions is jazzed to present a big project from wild card composer Ergo Phizmiz.
The Third Policeman is an electronic neur-opera based on Flann O'Brien's perplexing masterpiece. Part thriller, part comedy, part science-fiction, this radical adaptation combines stagecraft, animation, and distinctive, unforgettable music into an astounding composite for the ears and eyes. Expect bicycles, murder, atomic theory, typewriters, infinity, and sweets.
Ergo first locked tusks with Qu at Venn 2008, when he produced Forest, an amazing bespoke installation that saw him take over a scout hut to conjure an enchanted Bavarian woodland made of twigs, cutlery, mechanical birds and constant, ever-evolving sound. Now he's back with something grander and stranger yet.
The Third Policeman is a truly 21st century artwork, using a wide array of creative methods and approaches in handmade and digital art to bring Ergo's idiosyncratic take on Flann O'Brien's already idiosyncratic world to life.
Created in collaboration with a host of artists who can only be described in today's incessant jargon as "outsiders", and performed by a cast of non-trained singers and comedians, with visual influences from Eastern European animation and musical references ranging from British dance bands to intricate electronic music, it will be an unforgettable and unique sensory experience.

Thunder's Russell Westbrook has surgery on cheekbone
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook had surgery to repair a fracture to his right cheek Saturday and the NBA's hottest player will miss at least a game.
The Thunder said the surgery took place in Los Angeles, where they will play the Lakers on Sunday, and that Westbrook would be re-evaluated next week.
Westbrook was hurt in the final seconds of the Thunder's 115-112 loss Friday night in Portland, when he scored 40 points in his third straight triple-double. Teammate Andre Roberson's knee crashed into Westbrook's face, leaving a noticeable imprint on his right cheek.
The MVP of the All-Star Game, Westbrook has had triple-doubles in his past three games. For the month of February, he averaged 31.2 points, 10.2 assists and 9.1 rebounds and led the team to a 9-3 record.
The Thunder already were without reigning league MVP Kevin Durant, who had a screw replaced in his surgically repaired right foot last Sunday. Thunder center Steven Adams also has been out with a hand injury.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by A.D., May 10, 2014.
You're out of your mind if you think the Titans were even considering drafting McCarron.
Is that a nickname for Whitehurst?
Clipboard Jesus will be seeing the field 3 games in, not burger man.
this. i would be shocked if Whitehurst was #2.
I didn't high five you cuz I think your right, but only because that was my favorite Christmas movie song
I used that as a sample in a beat I made
but ill bet you
Because they wanted him before he came off the board? Maybe thats happened a couple times already this draft?
Thats not panicking, thats the draft.
In round one, the amount of going full retard was so much that I had to log off without calling out some of the most known posters here. "Ebron and Barr were gone so they didnt know what to do!!".
Yea.. a group of 10 grown men cant make a decision because two guys on their board were gone. I mean LO MFKING L
/end rant, that wasnt directed towards you
McCarron was the worst QB in the discussion.
A game manager from ALABAMA?! The place where you know not to take products?
Dude couldn't throw a spiral beyond 15 yards. Wobbly ass passes anytime it was 3rd and long... which was very rare.
Even in the best situation possible, he still looked as average as it gets.
McCarron and Murray will suck. Mettenberger has the best chance of any of the SEC guys to do well.
Didn't really want him, but for 6th rounder it was a good deal and I'm on board. Creates some competition for Locker and Wilson. I really think Clipboard Jesus is just the 3rd emergency QB and on the roster to teach/coach.
Why is that? Please elaborate why McCarron is not worth a 5th or 6th rd ick. Show is your vast insight on this one.
Assuming he is healthy.....
I just don't see Whitehurst doing enough in an actual game to hold it down for long. Oh well, hopefully we will not see either.

Here is some help for making tables in Endipedia, in case you want to get more fancy then the example above:
I haven't been able to figure out how to search tables in the main search box, however if we put all the strain boxes in one page than we could just search with the find in browser. If anyone figures out how to make tables whose contents are searchable, post it up. Jasonk 11:59, 29 Apr 2005 (EDT)
- So it looks like its not a problem with searching tables but rather an issue with searching for "small numbers" (such as BB's apparently) which is ignored by the wikisearch similar to ignoring common words such as "and", "the", etc. Looking for a workaround.

The Blackhawks' goaltending position underwent more turnover last season, as another prospect overtook a veteran to earn a bulk of the load down the stretch. Longtime Chicago goalie prospect Corey Crawford finally had his chance with the big club last season and did not falter, appearing in 57 regular season games for the 'Hawks and starting all seven playoff games against the Canucks.
Crawford's surge came just one season after Finnish prospect Antti Niemi took the reigns from Cristobal Huet and eventually led the Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup. Even dating back to the 2008-09 season, veteran Nikolai Khabibulin was halfway out the door at the start of the season but earned a bulk of starts down the stretch and in the playoffs for the 'Hawks. It has practically been a revolving door in Chicago's net and that trend continued heading into the 2010-11 season.
During the summer of 2010, with the salary cap looming large over all of GM Stan Bowman's maneuvers, the organization opted to walk away from Antti Niemi's $2.75 million arbitration award months just after the goalie raised the Stanley Cup. With Niemi out of the picture, Bowman turned to former Dallas Stars' stalwart Marty Turco. Even at 35 years old by the start of the season, Turco was expected to carry the load as Crawford eased into his first full season of NHL duty. Continue reading »

A brand new, strategically-timed Brock Lesnar video has been released online by Paul Heyman's "Heyman Hustle" website, and it's one of the stranger video releases of the year. Heyman, a long time confidante of Lesnar's who was his on-air manager/agent during Brock's famous rise up the ladder to the WWE Title in 2002, and co-authored Brock's autobiography last year as well, has posted an exclusive video of Lesnar on The Heyman Hustle website. But it's not a wrestling video. It's a farming video.
One of Lesnar's biggest sponsors when he fought in UFC was CASE IH farming equipment. Lesnar also had a major sponsorship package with Rocky Mountain Dealerships. Lesnar's new video, released this week to capitalize on his WWE return and the F-5 he delivered to John Cena on Monday Night Raw, is a video of him farming and endorsing the Case IH equipment. Quite the different "Beast" than the one that appeared on Monday Night Raw. You can check out the video below.

Some Thoughts on Poststructuralism in IR Theory
Poststructuralism in IR: an Assessment and Critique
Much of international relations theory is centered on debates of realism and liberalism and its many variants. These theories explained in a parsimonious way what appeared to be the recurring patterns of international politics; for example, power, security or cooperation. But some IR theorists thought these scholars were trapped in modernist and structuralist logic that "treat[ed] the given order as the natural order" (Ashley 1986: 259). Scholars that lodged these critiques were known by a number of titles: poststructuralists, postmodernists, or postpositivists. Although the poststructural movement did not replace the realist or liberal logic with a theory of its own, poststructuralists did hope to question many of the assumptions of both schools. In this paper, I will flesh out several of the poststructural concerns offered by Richard Ashley, James Der Derian and Daniel Campbell. Secondly, while the poststructural movement has some interesting insights into the discipline of IR, I argue that the movement does little more than just that. In particular
A Summary of Poststructuralism
Poststructural logic arose as a response to the structural, or modernist, vein in various academic disciplines. The structural approach argued that various structures were paramount in the organization of society. By analyzing these structures one could develop a rather scientific approach to studying things – like politics, economics, sociology or psychology for instance – that generally appeared outside the scope of the scientific method. Coupled with modernism, a product of the Enlightenment and a belief in reasoned man over God, structuralists hoped to produce "objective, theoretical rendering[s], [that broke] radically with its predecessors' allegedly commonsensical, subjectivist, atomistic, and empiricist understandings" (Ashley 1986: 257). This structuralism, so poststructuralists argue, has influenced in a detrimental way the critical debates in IR theory such as realism, neorealism, and liberalism. Poststructuralists hope to break out of this structural malady, and question its "statist, utilitarian, positivist and structuralist commitments" (Ashley 1986: 258).
Poststructural thought, like structuralism, has its roots in various academic disciplines. Sociologists Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault are two men that informed the poststructural debate during its inception. Derrida developed the notion of logocentrism. By logocentrism, Derrida meant a "practical orientation and a procedure that at once presupposes, invokes, and effects a normalizing practical expectation" (Ashley 1989: 261). Put simply, these logocentric views were previously accepted arrangements and rarely were these arrangements questioned or viewed as problematic. Moreover, logocentrism focuses of "logos" that create some sort of insider/outsider, or us vs. them, paradigm. Ashley utilizes Derrida's logocentric formula on a number of dimensions. First, Ashley is concerned with the language of IR discourse and how some "logos" are privileged over others. In critiquing Kenneth Waltz's Man, the State and War, Ashley suggests that Waltz privileges "rational man" or "irrational war" thus reaffirming the modern, structural obsession with an insider/outsider paradigm (Ashley 1989: 286). Secondly, Ashley is concerned with how concepts like the state, sovereignty, and war are rarely questioned as problematic in international politics (Ashley 1989: 302). If the state is the central unit of analysis in IR and yet it is rarely thoroughly examined, how accurate are the assumptions that realism and liberalism rest on?
Foucault's discussion of "panopticism" also contributed to the growing literature in poststructural thought. Panopticism derives its origins from Jeremy Bentham's discussion of the panopticon, "an annular structure with a tower in the center which contains — or may not contain — a guard to observe and through this observation indirectly, nonviolently control… [people's] behavior" (Der Derian 1990: 304). Foucault was fascinated by this concept that he thought reaffirmed the differentiation of man as abnormal or normal, the civil or the uncivil. Der Derian asserted that panopticism occurred in international politics. While there was no "central watchtower," there were great powers that normalized relations of law and conduct and railed against conduct or societies that disrupted these relations (Der Derian 1990: 304).[1]
This notion of "otherness" is central to Der Derian's argument about the technological advances of international politics: simulation, surveillance and speed. He suggests that new technological advances reinforce ideas about "us" and "them," and displace the "reality" that realists and liberals purport to know about (Der Derian 1990: 298). For example, computer military simulations create an alternative "reality" and "new space" where events of international politics happen (Der Derian 1990:301). The growth of surveillance techniques, Der Derian argues, shows the paranoia inherent in international politics of the "other" or of those "we" do not know (Der Derian 1990: 306). These technological advances also make time, rather than space, a factor international politics. Speed in international politics demonstrates that "space is no longer in geography — it's in electronics" (Der Derian 1990:307). The electronic capabilities bring states closer to one another, and minimize the distance between territories.
Der Derian's and Ashley's discussion of "otherness" is critical to poststructural logic. But their conceptualization of "other" was utilized in large part by states as an international strategy.
The Limits of Poststructuralism
The most common criticism raised about the poststructuralist movement is: So what? The poststructural movement, while questioning many of the realist and liberal assumptions, does very little in the way of proposing a theory of their own. I think this critique is important but not the most salient. To reveal the cracks in IR theory is not necessarily a case of "armchair" quarterbacking on the part of the poststructuralists. These "cracks" in the logic reveal problems or lapses with the mainstream IR theories that IR scholars should take seriously. Der Derian does raise interesting insights about the "new" spaces in politics, and Ashley is right that notions of statehood and sovereignty might be problematic. Ultimately, however, poststructuralists do little in the way of providing solutions to the problems they raise. This does not mean creating some parsimonious theory like realism. What it does mean, however, is suggesting ways to break away from the problems they raise, or articulating in a more normative fashion how international politics ought to operate.
The empirical evidence is also suspect. Although he correctly predicted terrorism as the new "threat," he felt as though terrorism was once again something created by the state to reaffirm its identity. "…Terrorism is often cited as a major threat to national security,"
Moravcsik, Domestic Politics, and IR theory
Although I disagree with most of
This is an improvement on Campbell, who thinks that the state determines the course of events prior to foreign policy. By denying the agency of the actors,
In this paper I have tried to treat poststructural thought fairly, taking their arguments seriously, and trying to situate their concerns within the current debates in IR. Ashley recommends that we be more aware of "logocentric' thought, and Der Derian argues that IR scholars should have some answer for the new "spaces" in international politics.
[1] Der Derian argued that the "anti-Christ Turk, the colonial native, the Soviet threat, and the international terrorist" were just a couple of examples.
[2] Although not scholarly in origin, President George W. Bush has been heavily criticized for "scaring" people about the dangers and threats of the world.
[3] See Horowitz's Radical Son (1997)
[4] Certainly much has been made about Bush remarks like the "Axis of Evil," and "You're with us or against us," which would seem to jibe with

HARTLEPOOL are now just six points from League One safety after thrashing Crewe 3-0 at Victoria Park.
Pools looked relegation certainties at Christmas but are now unbeaten in seven matches after being transformed under new manager John Hughes.
The Scotsman's side were dominant throughout against Football League Trophy finalists Crewe, a side who had beaten them twice this season.
Jonathan Franks and Jack Baldwin linked up to allow on-loan Boro striker Charlie Wyke to put Pools in front.
Former Boro striker Franks scored his second goal in two games as he followed up his weekend strike at Scunthorpe to make it 2-0, firing low past Alex keeper Steve Phillips.
Phillips denied James Poole and Evan Horwood but was powerless to prevent substitute Andy Monkhouse smashing in Pools' third.
"There's been a big turnaround - it's promotion form and long may it continue," Hughes said.
"The performances are putting pride back into the town.
"The commitment was there again, you have to show a character and a willingness to win, game in, game out.
"I've only come here to help the guys, and all credit goes to them."
Pools were blessed with strong performances all over the pitch, and while two of their younger players shone with goals, Hughes said there is no substitute for experience.
"There were many man-of-the- match candidates, but the performance of big Sam Collins at the back and Ritchie Humphreys - two of our older players - was different class.
"Experience can go a long way.
"I'm delighted to get three goals, It's great for the fans and they all go home happy."
Hughes said Pools will keep on pushing to stay up and added: "Who knows where we'll be or how it will go? But I can guarantee you that if we keep doing that every week, we're giving ourselves a chance."
POOLS: Flinders, Austin, Collins, Horwood, Baldwin, Hartley, Humphreys, Franks, Walton (Monkhouse 28), Poole (Luscombe 82), Wyke.

Pnin (Hardcover)
One of the best-loved of Nabokov's novels, Pnin features his funniest and most heart-rending character. Professor Timofey Pnin is a haplessly disoriented Russian emigre precariously employed on an American college campus in the 1950s. Pnin struggles to maintain his dignity through a series of comic and sad misunder-standings, all the while falling victim both to subtle academic conspiracies and to the manipulations of a deliberately unreliable narrator.
Initially an almost grotesquely comic figure, Pnin gradually grows in stature by contrast with those who laugh at him. Whether taking the wrong train to deliver a lecture in a language he has not mastered or throwing a faculty party during which he learns he is losing his job, the gently preposterous hero of this enchanting novel evokes the reader's deepest protective instinct.
Serialized in The New Yorker and published in book form in 1957, Pnin brought Nabokov both his first National Book Award nomination and hitherto unprecedented popularity.(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
About the Author
Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov was born on April 23, 1899, in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Nabokovs were known for their high culture and commitment to public service, and the elder Nabokov was an outspoken opponent of antisemitism and one of the leaders of the opposition party, the Kadets. In 1919, following the Bolshevik revolution, he took his family into exile. Four years later he was shot and killed at a political rally in Berlin while trying to shield the speaker from right-wing assassins. The Nabokov household was trilingual, and as a child Nabokov was already reading Wells, Poe, Browning, Keats, Flaubert, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Tolstoy, and Chekhov, alongside the popular entertainments of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Jules Verne. As a young man, he studied Slavic and romance languages at Trinity College, Cambridge, taking his honors degree in 1922. For the next eighteen years he lived in Berlin and Paris, writing prolifically in Russian under the pseudonym Sirin and supporting himself through translations, lessons in English and tennis, and by composing the first crossword puzzles in Russian. In 1925 he married Vera Slonim, with whom he had one child, a son, Dmitri. Having already fled Russia and Germany, Nabokov became a refugee once more in 1940, when he was forced to leave France for the United States. There he taught at Wellesley, Harvard, and Cornell. He also gave up writing in Russian and began composing fiction in English. In his afterword to Lolita he claimed: "My private tragedy, which cannot, and indeed should not, be anybody's concern, is that I had to abandon my natural idiom, my untrammeled, rich, and infinitely docile Russian tongue for a second-rate brand of English, devoid of any of those apparatuses-the baffling mirror, the black velvet backdrop, the implied associations and traditions-which the native illusionist, frac-tails flying, can magically use to transcend the heritage in his own way." [p. 317] Yet Nabokov's American period saw the creation of what are arguably his greatest works, Bend Sinister (1947), Lolita (1955), Pnin (1957), and Pale Fire (1962), as well as the translation of his earlier Russian novels into English. He also undertook English translations of works by Lermontov and Pushkin and wrote several books of criticism. Vladimir Nabokov died in Montreux, Switzerland, in 1977.
Praise For…
"Hilariously funny and of a sadness." –Graham Greene
"Pnin's vita, though its essence is saintliness, is yet a work of brilliant magic and fabulous laughter." –The New Republic
"Fun and satire are just the beginning of the rewards of this novel. Generous, bewildered Pnin, that most kindly and impractical of men, wins our affection and respect." –Chicago Tribune
"Nabokov can move you to laughter in the way the masters can–to laughter that is near to tears." –The Guardian

He's gotten the support of pro-choicers and went after those who worry about terrorism and now attorney general candidate Eric Schneiderman is out with a plan aimed at seniors.
Here's the Manhattan Democrat's outline for protecting the rights of senior citizens:
1. Combat fraud targeting seniors
A sad fact of life is that certain con artists specialize in cheating seniors. Eric will use the powers of the Attorney General's office to thwart the thieves and make the victims whole.
2. Fight age discrimination
Hard economic times are no excuse for employers to discriminate against members of their workforce on the basis of age. Yet when downsizing occurs, it is far too often the older employees who are singled out. Eric's Civil Rights Bureau will focus on firms that are seeking to solve their financial problems in ways that do not comport with the law, and fight for equal rights regardless of age.
3. Protect nursing home residents
Many seniors and their families rely on nursing homes to provide comfort and care. Strong enforcement is necessary to ensure that a high level of care is provided in accordance with the law.

"Better Schools for a Better Midland," a political action committee in support of Midland ISD's $163.1 million elementary schools bond initiative, was established today.
Organizing documents were filed with MISD today by committee treasurer Wesley D. Bownds, president of the Midland Market for Western National Bank.
The committee will advocate for MISD's Nov. 6 bond election and be chaired by Patrick Payton, pastor of Stonegate Fellowship church.
"Establishing this committee is the next step toward building community understanding and support," Payton said in a news release. "Also, because education is the key to giving opportunity to our children, families and community, this committee will be the vehicle through which the community can get involved," Payton said.
Payton said the committee will involve businesses as well as individual supporters who can help by providing endorsements, manpower, financial support and other assistance to promote the measure.

It was a busy night on Harrison Avenue with more Trump yard signs under folks arms than I've ever seen, but Jill Stein supporters were there as well to help encourage me and keep the positive energy flowing.
After 14 years of being one of the Bay Greens founders this is an exciting time. Young people were the most vocal supporters many of whom are former Bernie Sanders voters who have joined Jill Stein & Ajamu Baraka in this amazing time of change.

Remora's Sucking Disc Descended From Dorsal Fin
Brett Smith for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
Remora fish have fascinated men since ancient times, when they would use the sucking disc on top of their heads to attach themselves to the hulls of boats. Our ancestors mistakenly believed the fish´s intent was to maliciously slow the boat down.Our knowledge of these strange-looking fish has come a long way, as scientists at the Smithsonian Institution and London's Natural History Museum have just reported that the remora´s signature disc is actually a greatly modified dorsal fin, according to their research published in the Journal of Morphology.
The eight known species of remoras use their sucking disc to attach to large marine animals, such as sharks or turtles, and take in scraps of food and parasites that drift off the larger animal.
Biologists have theorized that the sucker disc is developed from the dorsal fin since the early 1800s, but didn´t have a method for conclusively proving it. In the latest study, US and UK marine biologists decided to look at the disc´s development from the fish´s earliest larval stages.
"One reason I think this hasn't been done before is due to the difficulty in finding early stage remora larvae" said study co-author Dave Johnson, zoologist at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
"In our study we closely tracked the development of the sucking disc beginning with tiny remora larvae, through to juvenile and adult remoras," Johnson said. "We followed the earliest stages of the disc's development by matching the first vestiges of elements of the sucking disc with the first vestiges of elements of the dorsal fins of another fish, the white perch (Morone americana), which has the typical dorsal fin of most fishes."
In comparing the two species, the team was able to identify three fin elements -- the distal radials, the proximal-middle radials, and the fin spines -- are radically modified in developing remoras and eventually become the different components of the fish´s odd sucker disc.
At first, the remora´s ℠dorsal fin´ can be seen developing in the same way that it does in the white perch. After a series of small changes during development, the remora's dorsal fin begins to grow and reallocate towards the head. When the remora has reached about 1.2 inches in length, it has a fully formed two-millimeter-long sucking disc. The disc still retains the components found in an unmodified dorsal fin, but the spine bases have expanded significantly.
According to the scientists, remora larvae have very unique hooked teeth protruding from the lower jaw before developing their signature disc.
"Because remora larvae at this stage are relatively rare in plankton collections, I have often wondered, although we don't have any evidence for it, if maybe remora larvae are not free living in the plankton layer but go into the gill cavities of fishes and use their hooked teeth to hang on until they develop a disc," said Johnson.
"Fodder for future research," he noted.
Typically found in the open ocean, some remora species can grow up to three feet long. The relationship between a remora and its host is called commensalism, since the host appears to lose nothing by being involved in the relationship.
