Ladies' Night
Head over to Tony's posh apartment on Feldspar Street in Algonquin, where you'll find Tony in a bit of a tizzy. It seems that Tony has been stood-up by his friend Gracie, and she could very well be missing. Kidnapped, even. Tony is a complete mess here, and even pulls a gun on Luis before holding that very same firearm to his temple, threatening to kill himself. As the drama crescendos, Luis brings things back down to Earth, and agrees to go look for Gracie for Tony. Tony comes along for the ride, and the mission begins in earnest.
Tony and Luis will get into a car, at which point you can begin driving towards yet another helipad located in Liberty City. The idea here is to drive over to the helipad directly over the Booth Tunnel (which gaps the West River from Algonquin to Alderney and back), and as usual, your GPS will get you there easily enough. When you arrive at the gate surrounding the helipad, knock it down or scale the fence, and get into your chopper. Tony will follow suit. The idea here is simple -- use the helicopter to follow a red car that will hopefully bring you to the location of Gracie. After all, she's been kidnapped by some pretty ballsy men, so the only way you're going to find out where she's being held is to follow the red car directly to the source.
Thankfully, the game's broken helicopter controls shouldn't burden you too much during this mission, both because you should be getting somewhat used to them by this point in the game, and because you don't have to partake in any combat here. So, be thankful as you fly around in pursuit of the bright red car. This car's location won't appear on your HUD, so you're going to have to follow it with your own eyes, using the on-screen prompt to zoom the camera in towards the car's location if you happen to lose it. When it reaches the Booth Tunnel towards Alderney, zoom over to the other side of the tunnel in Alderney and wait for the car to emerge. Then, follow it to a parking garage, and then finally to a house in Alderney that presumably holds Gracie. As long as you never get too close to the car with your chopper, tipping off the driver that you're following him, you should be as right as rain in executing this easy, late-game mission.

Hello, maybe this is a naive question, but so far I did not found anything related to the subject.
I would like to consider a subset of integers, say E, such that the set $\{ \frac{x}{y}, x \in E, y \in E, y \neq 0 \}$ is $\mathbb{Q}$.
Do such sets have a particular name? Is anyone known for having studied them? And is it possible to define such a set for which any (positive or non-zero) rational is uniquely represented as a ratio of elements in $E$?
Thanks by advance for your comments!

Wilson said the No. 1 role of every church is to lead a community to salvation. But in order to get a person outside the church to come inside, Wilson said Christians must be willing to go outside and get them.

- "Exercise foresight and be on the watch to look [after one another], to see that no one falls back from and fails to secure God's grace (His unmerited favor and spiritual blessing), in order that no root of resentment (rancor, bitterness, or hatred) shoots forth and causes trouble and bitter torment, and the many become contaminated and defiled by it" Hebrews 12:15
Bitterness is such an insidious thing. Many sins are obvious and you KNOW when they are trying to beset you, such as stealing and murdering. But bitterness creeps in silently to encase a hurt or wrong we have received in a deadly gooey poison. We are to be on guard that we not allow this in our lives and even warned that if we do, it can contaminate and defile many others, not just ourselves.
Remember that God says if we don't forgive those who sin against us, neither will HE FORGIVE US! And we know that not one of us will make it to heaven without God's forgiveness through Christ Jesus.
- "For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions." Matthew 6:14,15

BAGHDAD, April 9 (UPI) -- Ongoing attacks in Iraq attributed to al-Qaida are creating a burden on a war-fatigued civilian population, the U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq said.
The U.N. mission said Iraq still suffers from attacks from al-Qaida in Iraq, the Islamic State of Iraq and other terrorist groups.
A series of damning reports were published last month on the 10th anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion. Tuesday marks the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Baathist regime of Saddam Hussein.
The Islamic State of Iraq took credit for a string of attacks in Baghdad that left roughly 60 people dead on the 10th anniversary of the U.S. declaration of war on Iraq. At least 200 people were wounded.
UNAMI Chief Human Rights Officer Francesco Motta said civilians and national security forces alike were suffering under a poor security situation in Iraq.
"The United Nations deplores the continuing loss of civilian life resulting from acts of terrorism and armed conflict," he said in a statement.
UNAMI said at least 229 civilians were killed and 853 were wounded by terrorism and armed conflict in Iraq last month. Another 227 members of the Iraqi security forces were killed and 300 were wounded during similar attacks.
Iraqi next week holds provincial council elections. Elections in some provinces were postponed briefly because of security concerns.

I'm sure these are fine, but please be aware that this will add significant weight to your vibrator. I find it almost impossible to use on myself. Might be good for couples play.
This is an awesome invention for those of us who love our Wandas' but don't love the pebbly surface of the head. Loved my black one so much I bought one for my girl.
I love my Hitachi. LOVE. But I do not love how gross and discolor and cracked the top gets after a couple of years. I was so excited to see somebody finally came out with the solution. I bought the ridged version and it fits perfectly on my Hitachi, is easy to get on/off and so easy to clean. I love the idea of being able to use with my partners and not have to worry.
The Silicone Pop Top is snug fitting, so it takes quite a bit of effort to pull it on. Once in place though, it wraps your wand head securely in a nice, thick layer of plushy silicone. It's pretty damn cool. This layer does muffle the vibrations a wee bit, making it a touch gentler, and quieter. A bit quieter. It's still a noisy toy! The ridges aren't as intense as they look, since the silicone is somewhat squishy and supple. There's enough give to the material that those ripple molded into the cap feel pretty nice, both pressed and rubbed onto my bits. Since it adds size to the head, you end up with even larger, rounded Magic Wand head, which I found I to be good and bad. The larger size does work against me a bit for using this in partner sex, but I am pretty determined, creative, possessed...when it comes to getting my wand between my guy and myself when I want it there. But it also gives even more vibrating area, and more diffused power which feels good, though different. The ridges give more of a 'pinpointing ability' than a smooth head too, which was odd to get used to, but felt nice.

One of the traits that scientists have identified in order for a species to be considered "human" is the ability to communicate in a complex fashion.
The adjective "complex" was added after people realized that a plain and simple "ability to communicate" would not suffice. After all, there are many other animals that communicate.
Primatologists, people who make a career studying our close non-human relatives, like chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans, have observed that these animals too are capable of communicating with each other. Chimpanzees may well be the most intelligent communicators in the animal world, although Flipper may have something to say about this as well.
Here is where it gets even more interesting: observations of primates in general and apes in particular have shown that these animals are capable not only of communicating with each other, but that some also possess what is called Machiavellian intelligence.
photo credit: jimbowen0306
In plain English: not only do some primates communicate with each other, they also know how to deceive one another.
Better still: not only do they lie to each other, the individuals being lied to know it. Conversely, chimps also express kindness and care for less fortunate members of the troop.
Aside from making observations, scientists are now also resorting to advanced MRI techniques to probe the communication abilities of non-human primates further. In a recent article scientists published their findings that macaque monkeys had the ability to recognize the vocalizations that were made by fellow macaques. Moreover, they also seem to be able to identify who among them made these sounds.
This leads to an interesting paragraph in the news report (note the statement made in the last sentence):
"The discovery of a voice area in the monkey brain also opens a window into human verbal communication and brain function. Many people doubt that there is much to be learned from other animals about human verbal communication and language. Contrasting this, these findings provide direct parallels between how the brains of humans and non-human animals process communication signals. This study strongly argues that voice areas were evolutionarily conserved in primates, challenging the notion that higher-level verbal communication can only be achieved by the human brain."
While this should not make us fear of being overtaken by our primate cousins any time soon, these insights do convey once more how close we are, not only in genetic makeup, but also in cognitive abilities.

I'm interested in purchasing a new telescope and have narrowed it down to the NexStar 6 SE vs. the Orion XT8.
I'd like to be able to get into astrophotography and read that having the Go-To (auto-tracking) is a must -- this would eliminate the Orion XT8. I really like the large(r) aperture of the XT8, but having the Go-To seems nice.
Is the image quality sharper on one or the other?

The patch notes have been out for a couple of days now and the Moonkin community has had a chance to digest the changes. You may remember my first reaction was shock. I didn't expect there to be any significant Moonkin changes even though I knew we are currently a little under powered.
Well, I'm still a little in shock and part of me can't wait for the changes. (The other part is worried that I won't be able to complete the hard modes and get the Drakes before they are dropped.) There have been a lot of numbers thrown around since the announcement and a couple of interesting ideas on how this will change our rotation. Let me try and provide a little more concrete info then what I provided last week.
Methodology: I am about to present quite a bit of numbers without showing my work. So, I would like to give you a little back ground on how I came up with these numbers. First, I assume a moonkin very similar to myself. I used my talent build, 3150 spell Power, 37% Crit rating (40% with Imp FF), 13% haste from gear, and fully hit capped. My model also assumes that the moonkin has 2T8 and 4T8 equipped, but excludes heroism.
I have modified my model in several ways. I have shortened it to 5 minutes worth of casting, but increased the number of trials to 40,000. Factored in a delay when choosing which spell to cast when Eclipse first procs. I have also made all the damage realtime, meaning that the DoT damage is accrued as it ticks instead of upfront. I have also added some lag into the model. I've tried to add lag that is consistant with SimCraft since those numbers or often quoted on the forums. Basically I used 0.075 seconds for Queue Lag and 0.150 seconds for GCD lag. Meaning a Queued spell has less lag then a spell with a cast time equal to the GCD.
I will put the new models up on file front when I get a chance.
No one doubts that this is a DPS increase. The question is how much, and I've seen several numbers thrown around. Starfox, the druid Simcraft author, updated Simcraft with the changes and estimated that it would be a 8.15% DPS increase. Hamlet, another prominant moonkin on the EJ forums, made a comment here last week and estimated that it was a 6% DPS increase using Wrathcalcs. I even used an early form of my model to estimate the increase to be 10.7% though I new that to be bit high due to the model's imperfections.
I've had a chance to play with my model a little more, and I have some numbers I'm confident in.
The Lunar Rotation with zero lag had a average DPS of 5,474. When Lag was introduced the average DPS dropped to 5,100. Using a Twisting Rotation the zero lag model had an average DPS of 5,938. When you add lag the average DPS for a twisting rotation dropped to 5,404.
Avg DPS Increase (no lag) = (5938-5474)/5474 = 8.48%
Avg DPS Increase (lag) = (5404-5100)/5100 = 5.96%
Obviously my first number of 10.7% ways quite a bit high, but my new numbers are falling in line with what other people are finding. Now, I think it is reasonable to expect a DPS increase in the region of 6%.
While these purely mathimatical gains are great, I don't think it's going to stop there. I also think that this simplifies the Moonkin rotation a little bit and that should also result in slightly higher DPS. Currently we have to watch not only for the Proc, but we have to watch for cooldown expiration. Since we have fewer things to watch for we should impliment the rotation more easily. An easier rotation means fewer mistakes, and few mistakes mean increased DPS.
Note: I want to make a quick note on potential Nerfs. I have seen several people wondering if Blizzard will nerf the Eclipse buff or possibly reduce the proc rate, because having two cooldowns seems over powered. While this is possible I don't think it will happen. At least not in 3.2. Most reports I see have moonkin Lagging behind other DPS classes by quite a bit. Ghostcrawler him self said were lagging a little behind a month or so ago, and I don't think the change to Improved Moonkin Form corrected the issue.
While I do think it is strange that one talent will have some much impact on our DPS output I don't think it will make Moonkin over powered. If it does, I don't think it will be recognized until after the patch goes live.
Stats and Gear:
Obviously, when your rotation changes, the way you use stats changes as well. So, this has a big impact on how we value the different DPS stats. For the first time in my WoW life I can confidently say Crit > Haste on a point for point basis. There are the values I found.
|No Lag
|With Lag
|11% Haste With Lag
|Hit Rating
|Spell Power
|Haste Rating
|Crit Rating
So, this obviously changes the way we gear right? Not really.
The fact of the matter is that there are relatively few options for gearing, and what makes most items so good is not the quality of stats but the quantity of stats. I plugged these numbers into my gear list and I was surprised at how little changed. Most of my BIS choices I would still consider BiS because they are of a higher ilevel. Stepping down from there things shifted a bit more, but remember the first two columns presented above are post 400 haste numbers. The third column is a below 400 haste valuation. As you can see it is still important to try and get around 400 haste.
Remember, that Ulduar gear is not loaded with haste. When I and other people built our Lunar BIS lists, almost all of us had our haste rating dropping into the 400 range when I had over 600 in Naxx. There are a few exceptions but for the gear that is good now will be good after 3.2.
This seems to be the biggest question on everyone's mind. Which idol should we use?
It was suggested on the EJ forums that Idol Swapping might be viable between eclipse procs when we refresh DoTs. The way it would work is that you would swap Idols while you cast your instant spells between Eclipse procs. It is possible because swapping the idol can't interrupt an instant cast and your Casting GCD would still overlap with your Swapping GCD just like in the old days.
While I think it is a very interesting idea, the process has several issues that make it impractical in my opinion. For one, the last time I checked the equipment swapping GCD was not affected by haste. Meaning you get a 1.5 second GCD instead of a 1 second GCD. On top of that the swap isn't instantaneous. Therefore the you will have a little more time added on for an even longer GCD.
This process would also force you to have a lower DoT up time. I'm not 100% sure of when the best time to refresh DoTs is, but this change would force you into the minimum DoT up time, so you may be losing DPS in this way.
In general I think Idol Swapping would significantly complicate the rotation for a relatively small gain in DPS. Therefore I suggest picking one Idol and sticking with it, but once again which Idol do we choose?
I am no longer confident in the Idol numbers I presented here. I seem to have over valued the IS idol and I am not sure why yet. I will say this though, of the three Idols currently in game the SF Idol is the best using a twisting rotation. The Wrath Idol is a distant 3rd. The IS idol is solidly behind the SF Idol, but there may be situations where It comes out ahead.
None of this matters however, because the new idol is likely to be the best. Reports from the PTR are saying it has a 50% proc rate, though I doubt that will last if true.
Starfire Idol = 5,405 DPSWell that is a little bit of a shocker. Who would have thought the IS idol would come out ahead? I didn't. I ran the model twice to make sure it was correct.
Wrath Idol = 5,372 DPS
Insect Swarm Idol = 5,419 DPS
In reality this isn't that big of a surprise. You may remember in my blog post on Idols I said that the IS does more for an individual IS cast then the other two idols do, but it falls behind because you cast IS only once every 14 seconds. As long as you could cast 3 Starfires or 5 Wraths within 14 seconds then one of the Nuking idols would be better. Using a Lunar or Solar rotation meeting those thresholds was a near certainty. With a Twisting rotation it is a little more in doubt.
We also need to realize that my model assumes a very high IS uptime. It refreshes DoTs during Eclipse. So, my number is probably a little inflated relative to some of your play styles.
When looking at the two nuking Idols the SF Idol comes out ahead. This is largely due to it being of a higher iLevel, and having a greater impact on an individual Starfire cast then the Wrath Idol does to a Wrath cast.
At this point I am not ready to declare the IS idol to the best Moonkin idol. I need to do some rotation testing to find out what is best, but it is clear that the IS idol improved relative to the nuking idols. When 3.2 is dropped I assume that many people will still stick with the SF Idol, but there will be some situations where the IS idol is better.
Of course, all of this is assuming that Blizzard doesn't add a new Idol in 3.2. So far, there is no official indication that this will happen, but I am hopeful for a couple of reasons. First, they've added new Idols with each Tier of WotLK gear. Second, they are Making Emblem's of Conquest and Emblem's of Triumph much easier to obtain in 3.2. Blizzard has said many times that they don't like them to drop from bosses, and I suspect that Blizzard likes Idols to be accessible by players of all levels. Therefore, I think 3.2 is a perfect time for Blizzard to introduce an Idol that impacts multiple Moonkin spells.
TL:DR Version:
In terms of DPS the change to Eclipse is pretty big. It will buff Moonkin DPS by around 6% - 8%.
It also has a big impact on how we will value stats after 400 Haste rating, but this will have little impact on the gear we pick up for Ulduar. Most of the gear doesn't have a lot of haste on it, and it is still important to get to the 400 soft haste cap.
The down side to this change is that it has significantly nerfed the nuking idols indirectly, and the IS idol may actually be viable when 3.2 comes out. It will be especially useful on fights with multiple targets that can be DoTed and if you have the 4T8 Set bonus.

It must first be made clear that there are many nurses who work devotedly day and night caring for their patients, despite their inadequate salary. However, we will discuss here those nurses who abide by the morality which is far removed from the true religion. Such persons have become calloused to their patients' problems, because of the numerous hours they are required to spend under adverse conditions caring for the sick. Some have lost all feeling for their patients and, instead of treating them with understanding and compassion, behave harshly towards them, often forcing them to wait for their care. It is not unusual for a nurse to even criticize or chastise a patient. Such individuals think that most patients are mere hypochondriacs, that they exaggerate their illnesses, and may even withhold the help that patients ask for.
Aware that the sick are helpless and in need of their assistance, nurses, who are ignorant of the morality of the Qur'an, behave arrogantly towards them. They look down on the patients, humiliate them and sometimes even berate them. They are in a position of being needed and, as far as they are concerned, "important people" ought to act haughtily towards ordinary people.
And, the way these people living by these wicked morals treat one another is not different from the way they treat their patients. They will behave towards others according to their station; for example, they show great respect towards the head nurse, but belittle other nurses.
Just as the lives of some housewives living by the morality of ignorance are confined within the four walls of her house, similarly, nurses confine much of their world to the hospital. They think quite highly of themselves in their situation. They think it to be themselves who heal people, not realizing that they are only the means. However, if they were themselves sick, they would not able to cure themselves, and therefore should recognize that they cannot prevent illness from themselves. However, majority of them are obstinate in this false belief. In the Qur'an, Allah tells us that no one other than He has the power to cause good or harm.
If you ask them, "Who created the heavens and the Earth?" they will say, "Allah." Say: "So what do you think? If Allah desires harm for me, can those you call upon besides Allah remove His harm? Or if He desires mercy for me, can they withhold His mercy?" Say: "Allah is enough for me. All those who truly trust put their trust in Him." (Surat az-Zumar, 38)
Allah has revealed to us that we should trust only in Him. As discussed earlier, from the Prophet Ibrahim's (as) prayer related in the Qur'an, believers should learn to trust only in Allah and look for assistance from Him alone. They sincerely believe that Allah ordains both good and harm and, apart from Him, there is no other power that can prevent such things from happening. They do not forget that Allah created every cure, as well as all doctors and nurses in the world, as the means for healing people.2012-01-21 02:50:41

While few people would look at a Prius and see it as a high-performance vehicle, the truth is that they are every bit as rigorously engineered as a Porsche or BMW. Toyota's designers maintain a ruthless pursuit of fuel economy, improving whenever and wherever they can.
For 2018, four variations of the Prius are available, intended to appeal to the variety of hybrid car buyers who have different requirements. The Prius, the standard on which all the others are based, is a 4-door compact hatch. Two other variants offer more flexibility and a greater price range. The "Prius c" is a bit smaller, but still offers 4-door access for five occupants and a cargo space of 17 cubic feet. The "Prius V" is the largest of the standard cars. Passenger volume is a capacious 97 cubic feet and it offers 34 cubic-feet of cargo space. Meanwhile, the Prius Prime also comes with four doors, though it's a 2+2, with seating for four.
All three standard Prius models are powered by a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine connected to Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive electric motor. The only transmission choice remains a continuously variable transmission (CVT) which, rather than have distinct "gears" is able to choose whatever ratio is perfect for the job. The Prime, too, utilizes the fuel-sipping 1.8-liter engine and CVT, but pairs them with an 8.8 kWh battery pack. The car can run on battery power alone for up to 22 miles, perfect for the daily commute, while total range in hybrid mode is about 600 miles.
The interior of the Prius is big and airy, offering an open feel and a good view of the road ahead, with improved headroom over previous generations. Two 4.2-inch multi-information displays are housed within the instrument panel. Basic information such as speed and fuel level are displayed on the right. The left display, on the other hand, is programmable, allowing the driver to choose what information he or she wants to see at any time. A heads up display projects onto the windshield and serves to further keep the driver in the know without ever having to look away from the road. The Prime benefits from an 11.6-inch touchscreen display that is centrally mounted vertically, similar to that found in the Tesla, and it is controlled through simple tap/swipe gestures, much like a tablet.
Basic features on the Prius include 15-inch alloy wheels, low rolling resistance tires and four-wheel disc brakes. Higher trim levels include a navigation system, 17-inch alloys and synthetic leather seating surfaces. A suite of safety options include a pedestrian detection system and a pre-collision warning system, as well as a radar-controlled dynamic cruise control system.
Options include a premium JBL sound system and a full parking assistance system, which will make parallel parking much easier with the help of ultrasonic sensors.

Ex-McCotter staffers to stand trial in campaign scandal
LIVONIA (AP) -- A judge has ordered two men who worked for a Detroit-area congressman to stand trial in a campaign scandal.
Paul Seewald and Don Yowchuang are charged with conspiring to get then-U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter on the ballot with bogus petitions. Yowchuang also is charged with forgery, and both men also face misdemeanors.
The attorney general's office says Livonia Judge Sean Kavanagh announced the decision Tuesday after hearing testimony earlier this month.
A Circuit Court arraignment is Nov. 6.
Officials say McCotter's staff turned in less than the 1,000 valid signatures needed to get on the August primary ballot. Some petitions were photocopied and cut and pasted from previous years.
McCotter hasn't been charged. There's no evidence the Livonia Republican was aware of the alleged scheme. He quit office in July.

Beeb say sorry for Stephen Fry A-bomb quip
Japan rattles katana over nuke survivor gag
The BBC and Talkback Thames have apologised for Stephen Fry's description of double A-bomb survivor Tsutomu Yamaguchi as "the unluckiest man in the world".
The QI presenter - himself described by Julie Burchill as "a stupid person's idea of a clever person" - offended delicate Japanese sensiblities during a December outing of the programme.
Yamaguchi, who died last year aged 93, survived the Hiroshima bombing in August 1945, only to find himself in Nagasaki three days later.
Fry's quip prompted the Japanese embassy to protest to the BBC. According to the Telegraph, a Corporation spokesman offered: "QI never sets out to cause offence with any of the people or subjects it covers.
"However on this occasion, given the sensitivity of the subject matter for Japanese viewers, we understand why they did not feel it appropriate for inclusion in the programme." ®

Here is the video they just posted on their announcments. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That's my name. :O) http://neighborsgo.com/video/2043

I'm sooooooo excited!!! Yesterday my Mom told me about this contest they were having in the Dallas Morning News, and suggested I try it out. People were asked to submit their photos over the three weeks the fair runs, and then a winner will be chosen by their staff each week. I retrieved my corny dog photo from the recycle bin on my desk top, and decided to give it a go (Fletcher's Corn Dogs are HUGE at the fair, in case you have never been, this is their birth place, and it's a 'big deal' to get one every year, so that helps with this selection, I'm sure). Today I was contacted by a reporter to tell me that I was chosen as this week's winner! You can go check out the other photos on neighborsgo.com There are more than fifty pages, and mine was on page 3 awhile ago, but they move as more are added, so the direct link is here: http://neighborsgo.com/photos/33683
If you scroll down on the main page on neighborsgo (under the ferris wheel photo, and the colorful boxes) my little guy is also the link to this photo contest. Go quickly b/c this is my fifteen minutes of fame! I'm sure he will be replaced soon, but he made me happy while it lasted!!!
You will see I have a really riveting interview snippet they posted under the announcement on my photo a second gal called for a little interview information (it's hard to believe-but true, I was speechless when she called and I stumbled through...well, everything).
I was contacted a third time, and the plan is to go to the newspaper on Friday. I pick up my prize-an i-pod shuffle nano. I 'get' my photo taken for the paper as well. The lady told me this picture, and my photo will run in all seventeen edition of the DMN, and online.....WHY DID I NOT STICK WITH MY DIET BETTER THIS SUMMER?!?!!? The last piece of this contest is that all three week's winners will then be judged by a 'Pulitzer Prize Winning Photographer' and you win tons of computer stuff if you win that. I don't anticipate my corny dog vision will go too far, but it's exciting to dream, and be 1 out of 3. :O)

State Fair 2009
Sunday, September 27, 2009 1 comment
Yay! I made my first, of several (planned) trips to the fair this year. I love fall, and this is one reason why. I can't imagine that there is a better, bigger state fair out there, but if so....I want to go! It was a beautiful, sunny day. There wasn't much of a crowd, and very few lines as Mom and I walked around and looked at all the sites on the second day of the fair. The corn dog was breakfast, what better way to start a day? This year's newest fried item is fried butter....I passed, I usually do, but it's always interesting to see the new things they try to fry each year. Scary, but interesting.

The Last Person On Earth....
Sunday, September 20, 2009 1 comment
I can't stress enough how much I would have bet on me NOT liking the Twilight series. I am really, the last person on earth that would want to read a series about Vampires. I've never been into that whole world of fantasy. I love to read, I'm an avid reader, but I only read educational, motivational, and happy things. I don't watch sad, scary, or suspenseful movies. I only watch love stories, and musicals if there isn't too much drama, and you can guarantee there will be a happy ending. I turn the news off if it's too negative. I certainly don't like dark plots. I laughed when the gals I work with started telling me about the Twilight series. They have been talking about it for years now. Yes, it's in the "Young Adult" reading section, but as a reading specialist, it's not so unusual that people would want me to read a story from that 'area' of the library....it's my 'job.' (I also know this series of books seems to be spanning all age groups.) It's a good job to have, and you'll find me in the children's area of Barnes and Noble almost as frequently as you will find me perusing the 'grown up' areas. There was just no way I was going to read that series. I knew I wouldn't like it. This summer, one more friend got 'hooked.' She begged me to read the series....I made her tell me about all four books, in detail, before I would commit to even starting a chapter (never one to wait for the end....or really, for any major part of the plot, I had to know it would end well). Oh...my....gosh! I'm hooked! I don't know why, I don't know how. I want to say it's because my buddy enjoys them so much, and we've had fun discussing the stories (not your usual book club collection in my circle). They really aren't dark, it's a love story, with minimal blood ;o), and a hero from the Anne of Green Gables era (it's all coming full circle now as to why I might like them). It's hard to explain. Sure, it's weird, but it's also kind of refreshing. I can't figure out what it is that makes them so good-they are well written, and imaginative, but there aren't any spectucular series of similes, and metaphors I can pinpoint, but they certainly suck me in, and get me 'feeling' with the characters. They are also pretty wholesome....(this may take an 'in person' explanation), but it's great to think about as teens read them. I can't believe it-I like a vampire series. It'll be my first...and probably my last, but it was a surprise....even to me who thought I knew 'me' so well! I can't explain the craze, but I am part of it now.
Finances and iPhones
Friday, September 18, 2009 No comments
I have a not-so-secret love affair with my iPhone. Sure, it's an expense, but it was a long thought out decision that sprang from a long series of savings, and it's something I can definitely say I get my money out of, and choose to spend money on....BUT, this week-I lost my phone for 24 full hours. I don't loose things on a permanent basis often....I've had a few moments of insanity where I walk around looking for my keys, while I hold them in my hand, or there was a three day search for my kitchenaid's dough paddle (I hadn't used....ever), and as I stood, with my kitchen, utility room, and garage torn apart, I looked over at the basket hanging over my sink with dish towels, and I thought....when I find it-that's where I'm going to store it....guess what, that's where it was the whole time! Once, I lost my to do list when I was in college, and I cried....I want to say it was stress, but the list really probably does mean that much to me. But...my phone....that's like losing...my dog or something. After searching my brain, I remembered listening to a song on itunes that morning, and putting it in my purse, but then it was gone by the afternoon, with a few things shuffled around inside my purse. I had run one errand, and the insanity began. It has rained all week, inches, downpours, flashflood warnings, and rivers of water ran through the streets, and I was crawling around parking lots looking under cars, digging through every crevice of MY car. I slithered under a booth where I had run an errand, made door to door calls at all the stores nearby in case someone found it in a parking lot, and turned it in....somewhere else. I asked the hostess to ring my phone while I crouched by the stinky trashcan, and 'listened' for it to sing for me. At work, I found the carcass of a lizard while I skimmed my flash light under all my shelves, and tables, and shuffled around every piece of paper, book, and box of markers. I pinched a nerve pushing my shoulders in the back of my drawer in search of my phone. After 4 hours of phone calls (80 total calls from myself, and my friends-including a few really cute messages from my friends asking 'whoever' to return it....love them). It was nowhere. I hated searching, knowing it wasn't probably a 'lost' item. Give me an hour, and write me a bill, and I'll tell you all about WHY I don't like losing things...but...let's just take it at face value and just say-it was a real hassle! After suspending my account at midnight, I had one more hope for today, but then....Dave Ramsey's Financial Class started running through my head as I realized I was about to have to make a big decision. Where does this lay in the grand scheme of my financial outlook? Today was pay day, and I had to start assigning a home for each dollar (my inner self tried to talk me into the craft store, my sane self had me balance it more evenly throughout my life). I was a tormented b/c I knew the 'right' thing to do....get a cheap phone, at least until I save up for a 'nice one'....and am eligible again for a discount (another 8 months). This financial stuff is hard!!! I guess this was a baby test, and at least got me 'thinking' about what's important (I still probably would have chosen the iphone). Good news, after some sad stories about my phone told to the student's that had access to my room while I was in and out of meetings all day yesterday...it magically appeared on my desk later in the afternoon. I won't bore you with the details. Whew, grown-up, hard, financial decision averted for one more month-rhinestones, and silk scrapbook flowers, here I come! At least I thought about how I COULD be more responsible.

Mamma Mia's Birthday
Wednesday, September 16, 2009 No comments
Happy Birthday, Mom! There is nobody more deserving of life celebrations than my Mom! Her glass is always half full, and she doesn't complain or make excuses about the 'missing half!' In fact, she will try to convince you of how wonderful it is to have half a glass of air. It would be easy to look back over the years with sadness over too many loses, and tragedies, but through it all, I know that God gave me the ultimate gift to walk through those times-a Mom like mine who has always shown unwavering faith in God's goodness, and His plan for our lives regardless of the place we currently stand in His plans. I only see positive when my Mom's in the picture. I wouldn't trade that for any of the other experiences. "Blessed" doesn't begin to cover all the laughs, and unconditional love Mom brings to this world!

Mini Sausage Quiche
Sunday, September 13, 2009 No comments
I tried this new recipe out today from a Taste of Home. I made a few adaptions, but it was pretty good, and it might be a good dish to take to a party. It was relatively easy,and yummy.
Mini-Sausage Quiche (24)
1. Roll out, and cut 24 squares out of one can of canned Crescent Rolls, and line the bottoms, and sides of mini-muffin tins with these squares (the recipe called for half of this amount of dough....are they kidding? It needs a full can for 24, or it would be way too bland).
2. Brown 1/2 pound of Italian Sausage, 1 T. of diced onion (I added two) in a pan (4-5 minutes). Drain grease, and add 1 T. of green onion (again, I added two). Spoon mix into bottom of the crescent cups.
3. Mix 1 lb of grated Swiss Cheese, two eggs, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, and 1/3 cup of Parmesan Cheese (these measurements are cut down quite a bit from the original recipe, but it was plenty). Spoon over sausage mix, and sprinkle each quiche with paprika.
4. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.
Just Another Day At Walmart
This weekend I ran into Walmart to grab something, but my 'quick trip' was delayed because a marching band was playing along the aisles and blocking my way. I laughed, it just wasn't what I expected to see, or hear marching up and down the Walmart aisles, but I found an unexpected smile at their expense. I took a picture from a distance b/c I didn't want to get run over by the tuba section. I think it was a fundraiser of some sort....but....it made life a little more interesting!
Giraffe Dress
Thursday, September 10, 2009 2 comments
My pal at work asked me to make a dress for her 5 year old granddaughter. She's an animal lover, and I bought this giraffe fabric a few months back because I fell in love, and she was on board for my 'fabric dream.' It was a real hardship b/c I had to go buy more b/c the amount I bought was for a 1 year dress. It was tough, but I managed to drag myself to the craft store (convenient that I still have that other fabric). This time around, I just cut an "M" out of fabric for her initial so she can wear it for 'all seasons.'

Restaurant Review: Peggy Sue's BBQ
Sunday, September 06, 2009 No comments
For years I have driven past this little BBQ joint across from SMU in Highland Park. I don't know why I always wondered about it (I don't have a lot of explanations for the workings of my mind), but....I have. This summer, I added it to my 'to do'list...if it's not on the list, it doesn't become a priority to me. This weekend (it's still the 'summer season'), I finally went. So, if you were wondering about Peggy Sue's BBQ (I doubt that). The food is very good, and affordable. The BBQ was tasty, and the atmosphere is very 'old school'....on purpose (this particular place has been there 20 years, and it replaced another BBQ restaurant that had been there 30 years). Brown plastic covered booths, random BBQ style decor, BBQ and all the fixins' on the menu. I would definitely say it's worth a try if you ever happen to be running around Snyder Plaza, and feel like some good BBQ. (I tried the sliced beef, and it was good, we ordered onion rings, and they were fabulous, and I also ordered up some 'gridled' jalapeno cheese bread. The negative? I smelled like a BBQ Pit for the rest of the afternoon (my dog's appreciated this, but I doubt any humans I contacted felt the same way).

Tokyo, Japan, October 28, 2010 - Japan vs Poland Press ConferencePoland captain Aleksandra Jagielo: "We congratulate the Japan team on a very good match. We were in a good position to win in the fourth set. So now it's important to forget about this match and play as well as possible against Serbia to win."
Poland player Joanna Kaczor: "First we'd like to congratulate the Japanese team on their win. We're very upset that we didn't execute today.On Saori Kimura: "I think that she's a very good player, always on high level. I think that she's the major point of the Japanese team and she led them to this win. Japan came back strong in the third game and it was hard for us to execute. As for myself I cannot explain why I didn't have better execution that the first two games, maybe I got tired."
Poland coach Jerzy Matlak: "A lot of things have been said already by the players, I'm personally very sorry it turned out like this. The match seemed under control, we led for first two sets. We could have won in fourth when we led. But Japan was dedicated and determined, and that was the turning point for them. We made too many unneeded mistakes. So the Japanese determination plus our mistakes, that's what led to this result."
"On the break between 2nd and 3rd set: I don't know how it would have turned out [if there wasn't such a break], so I don't want to think about that. Our mistakes in the fourth and fifth and service errors in crucial moments, that was the main reason."
"This was a very difficult match — in Japan, against Japan. And we had it almost won. It's hard to find a single reason why it turned out like this."
On Serbia tomorrow: "Definitely this match was not helpful, the fact that it took 2 and a hal hours, and we have Serbia at 3pm tomorrow, this will not help us."
Japan player Saori Sakota: "Before I came to the court we had lost two sets already. My determination was to change the momentum. I concentrated on an effective back attack. Mentally I was ready to deliver an effective back attack."
Japan player Saori Kimura: "Front the very first part of the first set, we had a very good rhythm but then we lost it and lost the two sets. But our determination did not wane, and all players were determined, and that's why we could get this great win".
On pressure of being main attacker: "Myself today, on the attacking aspect of my performance, in the first two sets it was not as I had hoped. I couldn't break through their blocking. But after the third set as Satoka came in and delivered her back attack, that's why their blocking was not completely set, and that's why my attacking was effective in later in the match."
Japan player Megumi Kurihara: "As Saori said, I agree with her that all players' determination was strong, and that's why we won today. As for me, before entering the match I knew I had some role to contribute, and any part of the game or any technicalities I could deliver, my mental preparation was for this."
On her physical condition: "As for my physical problem, the trainer and coach considered my condition and gave me a very good training program. I'm ok, and I'm in good shape now."
Japan coach Masayoshi Manabe: "I knew this match would be difficult going in, but looking at the stats of the first two sets, every aspect we were superior, except for effective attacking. … That's why I brought in Kurihara she's a good blocker… and Sakota delivered a very effective back attack."
"Hitomi Nakamichi was a very effective second setter. One of the reasons why were were effective is now we can change two players at once, setter and spiker."

The culprit is known as a meadow vole, but is often confused with gophers or field mice. Voles not only leave unsightly burrows in a yard, but can also gnaw at the base of a young tree or shrub causing irreparable damage.
Mainly, voles will eat the stems and blades of grass causing dieback in lawns. At times they may even cause damage in a garden by eating bulbs and seed potatoes.
Vole control can be a problem. As many people are aware, two young girls died in northern Utah when a pesticide applicator used aluminum magnesium phosphine fumigant near a family home in an effort to control voles.
For average yard owners, vole control begins with identifying the opening in the burrows. Place a mousetrap baited with peanut butter perpendicular to the opening of the burrow. The wider the burrow, the more traffic that is occurring inside.
Other control means involve poison baits such as Rodex or d-Con. Purchase them at most hardware or garden stores.
Poison baits can be potentially hazardous to other wildlife, children, or pets. Be sure to place the baits where they are not accessible to those other than the targeted species.

text: 'Process needs to be better': U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati (L) with national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann [AP]The United States would not bid again to host soccer's World Cup unless the rules were changed to clarify how the tournament is awarded, the head of the U.S. Soccer Federation said on Wednesday.The Americans, who hosted the tournament in 1994, were one of the four countries who lost out to tiny Qatar in the contest to stage the 2022 finals and there had been speculation that they would bid again for the next tournament, underlining the country's status as a growing influence in the game. The rules need to change, the procedures need to be very different from they are now Sunil Gulati, USSF president However, USSF president Sunil Gulati, who is also on the FIFA executive committee, said: "The rules need to change, the procedures need to be very different from they are now." Gulati said the Americans would not bid if the main aim was, for example, to take the sport to new markets as in the case of Qatar. He also said there needed to be clarity on the rotation policy between different parts of the world."The rules need to be clearer, tighter. The process need to be better," he told the Leaders in Football Conference.Should the U.S. go ahead with a bid for the 2026 World Cup, Mexican League President Decio De Maria said his country could play a role. "Do it with some Mexican cities there," he said in a panel discussion with Gulati.FIFA is reviewing whether to move the 2022 tournament to winter from its normal June-July slot because of the unforgiving heat in Qatar's summer.The governing body has been criticised for failing to take the heat into account when the tournament was awarded, raising broader concerns about a lack of transparency in the bidding process. 'Unstoppable' growthOfficials involved in England's failed bid for 2018 were also frustrated that they went through the whole bidding process only to be told after Russia got the nod that FIFA had wanted to take the tournament to a new region.FIFA has said already said decisions on future World Cup hosts will be made by its full 200-plus national associations, rather than relying on the executive committee.Hosting the World Cup in 1994 helped the game to take root in the United States, leading to the creation of the Major League Soccer competition that was given a further boost by the high-profile arrival of former England captain David Beckham.With the sport growing in popularity in schools, Gulati suggested that the American game was in good shape following the retirement of Beckham, who played for LA Galaxy."The growth of the game is unstoppable," he said, citing average crowd figures of 18,000 for MLS games."The atmosphere at Portland and Seattle games is as good as anywhere in the world."

Diaz-Balart: House to be 'stricter'
Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, a key player in shaping House immigration legislation, said on Thursday that the House bill will be "a lot tighter, stricter" on border security than the Senate bill unveiled this week.
The Florida Republican also pointed to the amount of guest worker visas to be issued under the Senate plan, saying they "would not work .. because they seem to be so low."
Story Continued Below
Diaz-Balart, who has been secretly working for several years with a bipartisan group of colleagues, refused to give specifics in the House proposal, which sources say would be unveil within a month. But the congressman made very clear that while the bill deals with the same hot-button issues as a sweeping Senate overhaul, it will be very different from the Senate version, suggesting it could be an arduous path to an agreement.
( Also on POLITICO: Gang of Eight embraces bill and each other)
"We're going to have differences on triggers, we're going to have differences on border security , we're going to have differences in how we're going to deal with folks already here," he said. "I think you're going see a house bill that's frankly a lot tighter, stricter than the Senate bill."
As legislators and interest groups pour over the Senate legislation, made public Wednesday, it has become increasingly apparent that the Republican-dominated House will be looking to set a higher bar for giving the 11 million illegal immigrants already here a pathway to citizenship. Under the Senate version, multiple triggers must be launched — including planning of a border fence and enhanced border security — before undocumented workers can attain temporary legal status. After 10 years, they could apply for a green card, and three years later, they could ask for citizenship.
( Also on POLITICO: Gang of Eight aims to stop GOP attacks)
The House version is expected to demand that border security actually be completed before any undocumented worker can commence a multi-year trek toward citizenship. And the House version's pathway is expected to be more along the lines of two decades instead of the 13 years proposed by the Senate.
