Asking for what you want is hard. Knowing what you want is much easier. Don't spend a good portion of your time masterminding and talking about what you want during various stages in your business without taking the pivotal and final step — ask for it.
The Dilemma
Let's just say that you want it all and you'll happily take it right now. However, I'm a firm believer that as entrepreneurs, we should accept "the process." I'm keen on how important it is to take definitive steps. After all, a process is a series of actions or steps taken to achieve an end… Who knew?!
The fastest way to get what you want out of life and business is to ask for it. It must seem like a mundane concept, I know. But it works like a charm, most of the time.
In my personal experience, I've had issues with asking for help for two reasons: a) it made me feel vulnerable and b) I had a vague idea that successful people never ask for help. I was thankfully wrong on both accounts.
The quicker you master your fear, rooted in whatever misconceived notions you have about your abilities and your business, the faster your company will grow.
The Solution
I mastered my fear of asking for what I wanted by making a silent pact with myself. I would purposefully ask for something on a regular basis: if I needed a contact, I'd ask for it; if I needed a recommendation for a new dog groomer, I'd ask for that too. The point is: each day I was, and still am, learning to become comfortable with asking for what I want.
Research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests that we grossly underestimate just how willing others are to help us out. I have to agree.
Successful people often take pleasure in helping, giving advice and revealing gems of insight. To that end, most 'unsuccessful' people would rather tell you to "bugger off" (in my slightly strained British vernacular). I don't recommend that you consult with the latter anyway!
If you're ready to catalyze your business take the following steps today:
- Take inventory of your current business ideas and needs—make a list.
- Consolidate your list by functional area (i.e. marketing, sales, customer service, etc.)
- Brainstorm and develop a list of potential experts and associates in each area.
- Create a concise email to introduce yourself, communicate your need and offer your support to help your new contact meet his or her goals. Don't even think about receiving without giving.
- Ask for a brief five-minute call. Give them an opportunity to graciously bow out.
This may seem contrived, but understand that it's a numbers game. Don't get caught up on who doesn't respond, who says no and who won't be your friend. In my stern yet sympathetic friend tone, "Cry a river, build a bridge and get over it."
You should only be interested in developing partnerships with people who have the time to commit, understand the potential value and are ready to act. And if they aren't a match, be gracious; ask them if they know of anyone who you should contact and move along. Not every opportunity is right for everyone at any given time — it's not personal.
The Result
I'm convinced that some partnerships, deals and opportunities are simply meant to happen. There is someone literally praying that someone like you would miraculously fall from the sky to help them on their journey too. If you disagree, think back to the various stages of your business — you were likely one of them. We all were, are or will be.
The moment you develop the gumption to "show and tell" your vision and follow up to close the deal — asking for help — the whole world will promptly step aside. Why? For me it was simple, I knew where I was going and like Nancy Sinatra, "these boots were made for walking and that's just what they'll do."
Instead of moping around your office, "back and forth, back and forth" in your Badgley Mischka stilettos or Born Airdam Mocs, "stop, think, and ask!" Who's ready to help me today? More importantly, what are you willing to give along the way?
If you have a vision for your business, then it is your duty to bring it to fruition — period. What are you ready to ask for?

Pinapple Coconut Muffin Recipe
The main reason I baked these muffins is that I had leftover crushed pineapple from our recent Vietnamese beef fondue party. The more romantic reason I tell my husband Lulu is that I'm always thinking about him and I want to please him all the time. Given his sweet tooth, Lulu always enjoys a hot cup of fruity white tea and a few sweet treats, so I think he'll fall for it .
The muffins are flavored with pineapple, coconut and lemon chocolate chips.
Yields: 18 servings2 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup pineapple
4 ounces extra-virgin coconut oil (1 baking stick)
1 cup raw sugar (or granulated sugar)
1 teaspoon pure coconut extract
¼ cup unsweetened coconut shavings
3 tablespoons candied pineapple wedges, coarsely chopped
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup lemon-flavored white chocolate chips (optional), quartered
Pineapple purée:
Coarsely chop the fresh pineapple (I used leftover crushed pineapple). Place in a blender and pulse until coarsely puréed. Gather about 1+ cup.
Making the muffin batter:
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with ½ cup sugar using an electric mixer until you have a pale yellow foam. Add the coconut extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Sift all the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, mix the coconut oil with the remaining sugar.
Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture. Mix well. Add the coconut oil mixture, milk and pineapple purée. Add the coconut shavings and candied pineapple. Using a spatula, mix well.
Assembly time:
Place the baking cup liners onto a baking pan and divide the batter evenly among them. Top with the lemon chocolate chips
Bake for 10 minutes at 375°F, then lower the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 30-40 minutes until fully cooked.
Remove from the oven. Allow to cool completely.
Bon appétit!
I used disposable oval baking cup liners. I think the batter was too "wet", that's why the muffins expanded into a round form.
I used Guittard lemon apeels. I buy them directly from my favorite local market, the Milk Pail Market, 2585 California Street, Mountain View, CA 94040.
I discovered Kelapo extra-virgin coconut oil at the SF Winter Fancy Food Show. Coconut was a huge trend this year; I saw coconut oil, coconut gelato, coconut water, coconut chips and even coconut cheese!
I used Bob's Red Mill brand unsweetened coconut shavings, also present at the Fancy Food Show this year.Published By: on January 25, 2013.

Last week I visited a seminar course on Oscar Wilde at New York University to speak about dandyism with the students. It was an excellent opportunity for me to hear from students of the humanities who had read the foundational texts of dandyism (D'Aurevilly's "On Dandyism," excerpts from Baudelaire's "The Painter of Modern Life," and Max Beerbohm's "Dandies and Dandies,") rather than just people with an interest in menswear. I had also resolved to answer any of their less typical questions on this blog, and one in particular stood out: the relationship and difference between dandyism and aestheticism. The fact that I had a dream last night about searching for a full-length oil painting of arch-Aesthete Harold Acton encouraged me to give the question some thought today.
Dandyism and Aestheticism are both personified in the public mind no more so than in the person of Oscar Wilde. By the time Wilde had first found fame, "dandy" had become an inconsequential term, mostly used dismissively and in its most colloquial sense to mean a man obsessed with the triviality of clothing and possessed of a flippant and unserious attitude. It was as a great aesthete that Wilde first won renown – by the time he had left Oxford he had gained notoriety for cooly remarking that he was trying to live up to his China, and the image of the towering Wilde in silk stockings and knee-breeches, mincing down the street clutching a sunflower, was a favorite of caricaturists on both sides of the Atlantic. Wilde's aestheticism, inspired by his two professors, Walter Pater (who had a Romantic idea about the sublimity of art and said that one's life should "burn with a hard, gem-like flame,") and John Ruskin (who believed in the moral and spiritual force of art,) was so well known and easily-lampooned that Gilbert and Sullivan wrote the operetta Patience satirizing the aesthetic movement, with broadly-drawn characters based on Wilde and James McNeill Whistler.
The incredible success of Patience in England led to the play's producer hiring Wilde to go on an extensive lecture tour of America in advance of its stateside opening. The audiences went mad for Oscar Wilde, the famous aesthete, with his velvet clothes, mellifluous voice, and purple musings. Wilde lectured on the importance of beauty – on beauty being an end in itself, life's ultimate goal, in anything from speech to wardrobe to home décor. Some of the listeners ate his philosophy up with a beautifully-wrought spoon, but most of them found his pontifications more than a little ridiculous. At Harvard a group of undergraduates entered the hall in mid-lecture dressed as they had imagined Wilde to be, and sauntered to their front-row seats, nose in air. At another University, an even crueler gang of kids put ill-fitting evening clothes on a black vagrant and paid him to dance up the aisle swinging a bouquet of lilies. In both instances, Wilde confounded them by appearing in immaculate evening dress rather than the neo-Renaissance garb they had expected, brushing their insults off like lint.
I think that Wilde, who knew better than anybody the pitfalls of being earnest, realized that he couldn't be an aesthete with too straight a face. The majority of the public couldn't stand for too much rhapsodizing without a modicum of irony – and that's when Wilde truly combined the aesthete and the dandy. The dandy's insouciant charm and unflappability were powerful when wedded to the aesthete's glorifying mission. If the audience seemed determined to take the aesthete's artistic prescriptions with a grain of salt, the dandy would force it all down with a lump of sugar served with a cheeky wink. Wilde was a dandy by nature, and an aesthete at least partly by education. He needed to leaven the seriousness of aestheticism with the wit of the dandy, something his professors, in their noble earnestness, had never managed to do.
The most important distinction between Dandyism and Aestheticism, however, isn't simply their level of seriousness – it is, in fact, something much more fundamental than that. Aestheticism is a philosophy, a guiding belief chosen, if not always rationally, then at least intentionally. The follower of aestheticism has studied his subject and come to the conclusion that art is paramount in life and beauty paramount in art. Dandyism, on the other hand, is far closer to a compulsion than it is a philosophy. It is an obsession, more often than not irrational, and occasionally bordering on a psychological disorder. The true dandy cannot behave any other way. Like homosexuality, dandyism is rarely a choice and its practitioners must live by its dictates or be doomed to a life of hypocrisy, unhappiness, and the secret suffering of the underdeveloped and unfulfilled, to say nothing of cargo shorts, Croc shoes, and baseball caps. A dandy unable to be a dandy would atrophy and die, which is exactly why one sees dandyism appearing in the most unlikely of places and in the most difficult of circumstances, defeating capricious circumstance – it cannot be easily squelched.
So much for the difference between dandyism and aestheticism; is there a relationship? Absolutely. And Wilde is, once again the man who was its most elegant embodiment. Put succinctly, one doesn't have to be a dandy in order to be an aesthete and vice-versa. But aestheticism seems to be the perfect philosophy for someone afflicted with dandyism, and dandyism, considered as an innate compulsion, seems to be a natural encourager of aestheticism.
Wilde wasn't the only dandy-aesthete. The Twentieth Century's greatest champion of Aestheticism was also an accomplished dandy, particularly when he was young. Harold Acton opens his famous Memoirs of an Aesthete with a defiant proclamation:
"Half of my friends disapprove of the title I have chosen for this book without having read it. 'What! an aesthete? One of those scruffy long-haired fellows in peculiar garb, lisping about art for art's sake? No, no. You'll prejudice all your readers in advance. Old Oscar screwed the last nail in the aesthete's coffin'…
Though I shiver and cough I refuse to be a pessimist. We had a culture which war has interrupted, and it was nourished by a few people like myself, citizens of the world. During the war we were forced into hibernation. Many of us are hibernating still.
We citizens of the world are neither famous nor spectacular. But there is a slow fire burning within us, and it is time for our latent energies to swell forth anew. It is time for us to reassert ourselves. And it is our duty to remind our fellow creatures of what they are fast forgetting, that true culture is universal…
Without apologies then, and without being a laudatory temporis Actoni, let me glory in the name of aesthete, for I am one in the proper sense of that word. Let me fling it in the teeth of the Philistines!"
I'll leave you with Acton's impression, when he first came to Oxford and encountered what passed for aestheticism there, a vision not unfamiliar to anyone who's met a steampunky gothic Morrissey fan clutching a copy of Dorian Gray:
"Lunching with Billy Clonmore, I met what he described as 'an aesthete' and was disconcerted. A pressed fern from the pages of the Yellow Book, his disjointed fragments of drawled conversation were as dull as his jaundiced eyes. Had he taken an active interest in the 'nineties, I might have excused his jaded mannerism. But what interest he could muster in life was limited to his sickly appearance. Sensing my indifference, if not my antipathy, he showed me, in an offhand conceited way, some etchings he had picked up in Vienna. They were timidly prurient, meretriciously art-and-crafty. My gorge rose, my indignation whetted by the creature's pretension to taste, and I was goaded to crude rudeness. 'Your etchings are the messes of a miserable masturbator,' I told him.
There was already sufficient prejudice against art in England, and I feared that this type – for he was a type – was damaging a cause I cherished. He was sterile to the core. His long hair and his ebony cane only stressed his lack of personality. If others could not bear the sight of him – which was evident as we were walking down the Broad – neither could I. Better the moustache stained with nicotine! Billy said he wasn't such a bad soul. 'I wouldn't mind so much,' I expostulated, 'if he were a bad soul, if he had anything to positive as a vice.' I left Billy's luncheon bursting with resolutions. I made up my mind that if that eunuch represented Oxford aestheticism something would have to be done about it soon. Now that the war was over, those who loved beauty had a mission, many missions. We should combat ugliness; we should create clarity where there was confusion; we should overcome mass indifference; and we should exterminate false prophets."

Cop Shoots Teen Holding Wii Controller In His Own Home
from the lack-of-control dept
We've seen some fairly extreme examples of police involved in shootings that were, shall we kindly say, questionable. Whether it's charging the target of police firearms with assault over injuries incurred by bystanders, officers being given the opportunity to see the evidence in question of shootings before making their statements, or officers simply looking to destroy said evidence, there appears to be an epidemic of trigger finger in our nations protectors, even as the danger involved in their jobs dips to historic lows. It's difficult to know just what is responsible for these stories. Are we simply able to hold LEOs to task due to more ubiquitous video surveillance? Is there an officer education problem? Is a police force more militarized than ever naturally going to exhibit more aggressive behavior?
Whatever the cause, we had damned well better figure it out, because the stories keep rolling in. The latest is the tragic tale of a Georgia teenager who wanted to serve his country and instead ended up getting served with a fatal wound for the apparent crime of having a video game controller in his hand.
The family of a 17-year-old shot and killed by a Euharlee police officer has hired an attorney, and they say he had a remote control in his hand. They say it was not a gun.The officer who shot him reportedly exited the home shortly after shooting Roupe, sobbing into her hands, a clear sign of remorse. Hell, it sounds weak, but mistakes happen, even tragic mistakes like this. Remorse is the proper response. The response offered in the officer's report of the incident, however, is not.
Christopher Roupe, 17, was in the ROTC at Woodland High School and wanted to join the Marines. His friends said he looked after them.
A female police officer told GBI investigators that Roupe pointed a gun at her when he opened the door.Open the door with a controller in your hand and get a bullet in the chest. Then, to have the report deviate so completely from the eyewitness accounts just adds salt to the family's wounds. At some point people are going to have to realize that, despite what your favorite news program would have you believe, violent crime continues to diminish, while shootings by police have remained static. That simply doesn't make any sense.
"We don't know where that statement came from. The eyewitnesses on the scene clearly state that he had a Wii controller in his hand. He heard a knock at the door. He asked who it was, there was no response so he opened the door and upon opening the door he was immediately shot in the chest," [attorney Cole] Law said.
That a young man who wanted to serve was caught by another officer with a trigger finger should sound the alarm that it's damned time something was done.

You will find 8-10 elements to a trade show finances and the one particular most disregarded is FREIGHT & DRAYAGE. Whether you are doing-it-yourself or it's managed from a contractor, you can foresee difficulties and reduce costs. Seattle Freight
You may transport it yourself or spend a company (vehicle, dispatch, aeroplane) to get it in your area and acquire it to the demonstrate metropolis. If you decide to dispatch, you can select your own company or the recognized service provider contracted by present control.

- E-email is wonderful. TIF is tops, and so on. but a hard backup of whatever you decide to.
- It was once you had to consider everything..
- This implies you must know the estimated.
- This current year you could possibly see a great deal of surchagres, so suit your composed.
- How come information get swept up and discarded? Since everyone believed.
This is basically the most costly word you possibly will not know. Drayage fees shell out just to (1) move your items from your reloading dock to your display hallway spot (2) get rid of the bare crates before the present, retail store them through the show, and send them back right after the display (3) transfer your repacked items back to the launching dock after the present.
Frequently it's not within the unique trade exhibition finances. Transport rates are based on several factors (time, excess weight, dimensional dimensions, and so on.) and might be a challenge to define ahead of time, but you will get exact estimates and hold your companies into a freight expense if it is creating. Count on paying a 20Percent add more-on for each middleman it passes through.
The biggest dilemma I see are the eleventh hour requests, the alteration orders placed, the "gee, we changed our heads and desire it in ivory, not bright white". Perhaps you will pay for hurry costs however, not booking the jet to get it there punctually. Make sure you understand the time period for almost everything! every thing! Generally factor in the chances of climate setbacks, happens, shattered deliveries and items that just go missing.
Pay for hurry costs however not booking

This is not an instance of cost doesn't issue - it can - but high quality and truth make a difference much more. Ensure systems match, the software program fits, you realize "digital camera ready craft" and you will have a Plan B. Fred Meyer Sumner
E-snail mail is fantastic. TIF is shirts, and many others. but a difficult backup of anything you require is nonetheless very best. Be aware that if you use PMS colors (Pantone Corresponding Program, for generating only), you need the actual amount, no approximation (when you say "it's actually reddish" - it really doesn't function).

This means you should know the estimated weight, dimensional size (cubic), local zip code and WHEN you definitely absolutely need it in addition to the proper street address. You can't just send it to the accommodation and assume it get to your room, your accommodation or even the meeting centre. Take note - most conference facilities will not agree to freight or packages except through the display service provider. Several resorts will both not accept or cost big service fees to just accept and shop your materials.
Double check all delivery information before you cruise ship - this is the most significant issue given that we certainly have new zip codes and region codes each week. Ensure you have the appropriate contact number. A main toll-free number is most effective and quickest, normally you may get misplaced in speech mail and recordings.

When Blizzard first announced this feature, I was excited. I loved soloing things! I really enjoyed being able to outlive and survive something incredibly big. Even though I was slightly squishy on my mage, I was a pretty veteran player and could keep up. I even had entire alts developed towards being able to solo stuff as well. The idea of being a non-traditional (see: Not a Death Knight) soloer is something I've always enjoyed.
Then all the drawbacks came in – invites would be sold via the Black Market Auction House. It would be open to a very select group of people at first. It was difficult in nature. It would be a queued line. And originally, that it had spectators and they were allowed to toss buffs or debuffs at you. This made me lose all interest in competing at first. The idea that your skill mattered very little if you were someone that would earn a lot of buffs or debuffs galled me in terms of having it be pure display of your ability to solo stuff. Having spectators made me a little queasy in terms of possible jeering as well. Thankfully, they removed the buffs/debuffs thing early on, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth. This wasn't necessarily the soloing challenge I had in mind, and it seemed to me that it was geared towards a different sort of people. An affluent, fairly well-geared person that enjoyed putting on a show. It was very gladiatorial in that aspect and I never considered myself as such. So in my mind, it would attract at first just the top-end raider types on my server who made most of their gold selling heroic Deathwing mount runs or something of that nature. I'd never be able to afford an invite, I'd never get in, and if I did, I'd be boo'ed to hell and back.
Curiously, I found myself sitting at the Black Market Auction House even still, chasing around bids as they spiraled up and up. I managed to scoot away with one for 60k, very pricey for the privilege of getting in on this on the first day, but with the same feeling of excitement nonetheless. What was wrong with me? Didn't I already eschew the idea of the people getting into the Brawler's Guild? I pushed the feeling aside and made my way to where-ever this guild might actually be. There was no note in the mail and no real indication other than the achievement.
The bar where the matches are held (Alliance-side, at least. Horde is actually held in Orgrimmar proper and is something akin to a tennis match with more spiked fencing) lives up to the hype: it's tucked away in the tracks of the Deeprun Tram, far away from the civilized Stormwind. It's full of NPCs who drink, fight, spectate and make bets. There's shady vendors at every turn, dimly lit booths for people to drink and make deals. It's modern, industrial and if the game were in real life, undoubtably would flirt with no smoking laws. You walk past the bouncers and definitely get the feeling that you're in someone's exclusive and dirty club.
Strangely, I didn't really see all the high-end people (what ones my server actually has) I expected to be there on the first night; the same people who I saw with Cloud Serpents first after they had spend their first 24 hours of being 90 grinding out eggs without competition. No, it was a lot of people like me – somewhat casual, decently geared but not in full heroic kit. Players with some non-trivial amount of money but not a ton of obvious AH barons. Regular folk who obviously had the passion and the interest and who, it seemed to me, really wanted to be there. This is where my expectations and my reality met head-on and collided.
Everyone was really having a good time.
The stuffy elitism and stand-offishness that I had imagined in my head was replaced with a sense of camaraderie as I started to crank over matches. Maybe it was by the dint of our server designation (RP-PVE) but even the people piped in from other RP realms by CRZ were enthusiastically cheering and commentating matches. No one was behaving badly or being rude. I only had to snark one person for using crappy language. Overall, I felt pretty welcomed. Despite a fairly solid queue over the first day and the next, people started to recognize me really quickly. Friendships and alliances formed up even with other server folk; we gave out tips on fights, grouped together for buffs and shared feasts for optimal stat bonuses. Spectators and competitors alike would help resurrect the dead. I looked forward to going and seeing the same people being around. I even added a couple people to Battle.net.
If Blizzard had intended the small gateway growth to be a hidden social mechanic, then I think they are pretty genius in that respect. I've already made a friend or two and we've done stuff outside of Brawler's Guild even. It's fun seeing them succeed at matches or try out new things, and the banter between matches when you're waiting on a deep queue keeps things from getting boring.
Murderaffes, Bombs and the Impending Enrage
Socializing and atmosphere aside, Blizzard did a decently good job creating and implementing the fights and queue mechanics themselves. For people who are not in the guild, it goes something like this:
- A competitor talks to a bouncer standing at the match pit and gets in line. This queue is a buff that's cast on you. You are alerted in-game when you next in line so you can prepare, and you can check your place in line with the bouncers as well. Leaving the Brawler's Guild arena area will drop the buff from you.
- You are ported into the arena when your fight is ready.
- All fights are capped with a 3-minute enrage timer that lights up the floor nearing the 3-minute mark and then pelts you with fireballs until you die. Dying at the enrage even if boss also goes down results in a Brawler's reward but no win to push you up in rank. This is so that tanks and healers can't queue and elongate a fight to infinity. It also keeps queues moving decently fast though the expected time Blizzard wants you to spend in a queue is 15-30 minutes.
This process, via earned victories against bosses, moves you up from rank to rank. There are 8 ranks so far and most of the ranks have 3-4 bosses. The bosses are in a set order so that everyone fights the same mobs. A person in their first match of rank 5 will fight the same boss someone else at the same spot will. It makes things like watching others beneficial as it can give you ideas about how to approach a fight. The fights themselves are a mixture of all sorts of mechanics — council fights, environmental damage, kiting/facetanking, high DPS/burn fights, and using particular fight mechanics to debuff the boss. No one spec or class is ultimately suited better for all of the fights. Some classes that can kite effectively are good, but other classes that can self-heal are better on others. Some are tough for melee, some are tough for ranged. Most of the fights are memorable, either for being a smaller version of a more well-known fight, a famous NPC (which happens more in higher ranks) or a particularly amusing opponent. (Bruce, the first fight in Rank 1, is such an elegantly named croc that most people cheer him on instead of the player.) Some people will breeze through a string of fights and then get completely stuck on another. I've not really seen anyone approach the same fight quite the same way.
The fights I've managed to get stuck on were the fights with a very tight enrage timer with high execution needs. These are fights that require staying alive or kiting but also having to put out 60k DPS, somehow. All in all, even the fights I've gotten stuck on, I've had a decent enough time just trying over and over again to get it right and feeling that rush of adrenaline when I barely eek out a win while outrunning some raining fire.
The Downswing of Brawler's Guild
My initial feelings on Brawler's Guild were ultimately positive, but nothing gold can stay.
The first three or four days of the guild were really the pinnacle of the experience. I hadn't expected Brawler's Guild to be perfect forever, but I hadn't foreseen that the good times would change so quickly.
Firstly, CRZ can be both a burden and blessing. CRZ is enabled for the zone provided that your server has not enough people queuing or participating on the server. I'm not sure how this works entirely, but the first couple of days were awesome, at least for me: RPers had flocked to spectate and made it definitely feel like a seedy fight club. It made the queues a bit unbearable at prime time and nights before midnight, but the spirit of socializing was fun. I can understand that this "benefit" can vary wildly depending on server designation and populations. Not every server is quite as quirky or polite as mine it seems.
However, CRZ has already been disabled on my server. That means that the place is back to being empty, with the same competitors queuing until the new people show up every day at 1 AM or so. This means watching the same matches but missing a lot of the patter and banter that made them a bit more theatrical.
Secondly, a lot of people are finding out that there is a hidden wall implemented that is beyond skill and that is gear. You will not be successful past rank 4 fights and every rank thereafter without increasingly decent gear, even if you are a burst class. If you aren't? Good luck getting past certain fights. I wouldn't say the mixture of mechanics are friendly in general, but there is definitely a need for a minimum level of gear to be able to DPS enough to not die to the enrage. What I had thought initially needed was just skill, but ultimately because it is a PVE competition, gear will always be a factor. I found this out the hard way – I was constantly dying to Akama in Rank 6 just due to not doing enough DPS on my most successful attempts when I wasn't dying all the other attempts to being eaten alive. It seemed so hard to me that I couldn't burst him down before getting overwhelmed by adds, and I couldn't pull off him enough to DPS down adds without losing DPS time on him. Being a mage, I had very little in the way of survivability, so I was getting increasingly frustrated. I figured it might be a spec issue and went not only arcane but frost at one point, only to realize that it might be a gear thing. People who were progressing past me onto Rank 7 all had full 496 and above gear. Whispers were going around that some fights people were getting stuck on up there were needing 80k DPS! I got some upgrades and while the fight didn't become magically easier, I did beat it the first time around with the new gear and as fire. This was the proof I needed for my point and I felt rather disappointed about it.
The problem is that one of the reasons I got into solo PVE stuff was because a lot of it just came down to skill or spec and being creative. Gear isn't creative, it is merely a tool to future success but needing group PVE content gear for solo PVE content is a little bit disappointing because it brings that elitism I had been wary of at first back into play. You're not going to see someone who casually raids at Rank 8 any time soon. I'm sure there's a couple people who might, but for most of us, we're not acquiring gear fast enough doing 3 normal bosses a week (even with LFR) to break required DPS checks even with perfect execution in Brawler's Guild. We're just not. I would like to reach rank 7 for the once-a-day invites I can sell or hand out to guilds mates, but I know Rank 8 is a little out of my reach.
Thirdly, there's also problems with people. I know that this is probably just me being a whiny baby given that my server is downright docile in comparison to others like Illidan or Kel'thuzad or Mal'ganis but it seems to have opened up enough so that people who legitimately aren't concerned with having fun or behaving or treating others well are there. I was doing dailies last night when I see two people from a notoriously vulgar guild talking in General about how they got the invites dropped off rares. Against my better judgement, I go to take a swing at Akama later and see them there, only to have to ask them to not talk about "raping a boss." What ensued was a genuinely upsetting and creepy convo wherein I had to report both for language and felt myself pretty badly shaken for the entire interaction.
Could this have happened on Day 1? Oh absolutely. But the less effort, time or gold/resources something takes, the less people feel invested in being decent. It's like Trade Chat – anyone can talk, so everyone, even the shitty people, feel like they can and should contribute. If this is elitism, then I'm okay with being called that. I'm not talking about people who lose fights regularly or whathaveyou, I'm talking about people who want to do nothing but show up and drag the same shitty language and shitty attitudes with them because they are narrow-minded gamers and they don't have to care about anyone else. It's like a battleground except you're forced to be in the same room with them at all times due to the nature of Brawler's Guild. It made me not want to go back honestly.
So despite my honeymoon period at the beginning, I can definitely see that my time spent at Brawler's Guild will not be quite the same as when I had first stepped in. However, was it money well spent? Oh absolutely. I really like the idea of competing in solo PVE situations and the added social layer has been pretty fun. However, unfortunately like everything in WoW, if I want to participate, I have to put up with the fact that there are assholes. They might not be able to debuff me during a fight, but they've managed to debuff me a bit emotionally.
Blizzard hit on a good thing here, so I do hope they expand it. However, as the difficulty scales up and up, I wonder if the rest of us can keep up with the ever-increasing gear demands and the longer wait as more people jump into the fray.

Insider's Guide to Vienna, Austria
The best hotels, restaurants, shops, museums and more
FROM THE COMFORT of a worn red banquette in grand Café Sperl, Vienna can seem much like a living museum. It's a short walk to the Baroque Hofburg Palace. That isn't far from the Roman ruins beneath Hoher Markt, which are in turn a quick trip from the Gothic St. Stephen's Cathedral. Even inside the cafe, tradition holds sway—the waitresses treat customers with an old-world formality that inspires a visitor to sit up a little straighter.
Along with that formality, the city has a reputation for being somewhat conservative, maybe because it has so much to preserve. Yet many of the city's key figures were anything but—Freud, Klimt and Schoenberg were all radicals in their time. The majestic Ringstrasse, the wide boulevard that in the 19th century replaced the wall around the old First District, was a daring experiment in urban planning.
It can be hard to perceive through the powdered-wigged touts shilling Mozart tours in front of the opera house, but this city of diplomats, palaces and dancing stallions still has an edgy side. To see the evidence, wander into the working-class Neubau district, where engineer-turned-fashion designer Elke Freytag sells street-smart women's clothing and accessories. Or cross the Danube Canal to the ethnically diverse Karmeliter district; at Fett + Zucker, Viennese classics are going vegan and gluten-free.
The magic of Vienna in winter doesn't get packed away with the Christmas markets. New Year's Eve revelers gather to watch fireworks on the Heldenplatz and near the giant Ferris wheel at Prater amusement park. The next morning, crowds come to listen to the Vienna Philharmonic play, as they have since 1939. Keeping the same routine for more than 70 years? Now that's revolutionary.
—Matthew Kronsberg
The Musician: Christian Fennesz
Electronic-music pioneer and Vienna native whose new album, "Bécs," will be released in 2014
Boho Bar // Nachtasyl. This is a great Czech underground bar (literally and figuratively). Go down the stairs, through the usually empty front room to the dark, smoky and cozy back area. Václav Havel used to come here, and many veterans of [dissident group] Charter 77 still do—along with punks, musicians, artists and old boozers. When it opened 28 years ago, I was their first customer. Stumpergasse 53-55, 43-1-9676661
Cocktail Spot // Intermezzo Bar at the Hotel InterContinental Vienna. The design will make you think of "Mad Men"—white-jacketed bartenders work magic beneath the giant square chandelier. Go for cocktails and great oysters after a walk in the Stadtpark or a performance at the Konzerthaus. Johannesgasse 28, vienna.intercontinental.com
Authentic Eatery // Wratschko Gastwirtschaft. For very good, traditional Austrian food, go to this wonderful wood-paneled pub in the Neubau district. Try the "schulterscherzl" [similar to a flatiron steak]. The food can take a while to get to the table, but it's worth the wait. Only classical music is played (and jazz later at night), a very civilized touch. Neustiftgasse 51, 43-1-5237161
Record Joint // Substance. Come to this Neubau music and book shop to get lost in the great assortment of vinyl reissues, plus a huge selection of electronica, indie and jazz. It's also a great place to find out about upcoming local concerts. Westbahnstrasse 16, substance-store.com
The Chef: Heinz Reitbauer
Chef and co-owner of Steirereck in Vienna and Pogusch, as well as Meierei in Stadtpark
Regal Retreat // Belvedere Palace, Gardens and Museum. The extensive gardens were founded in the early 18th century by Prince Eugene of Savoy and are known for their strict symmetry. In warmer months, they are a beautiful place for a walk. During winter, great inspiration can be found in the Belvedere museum, home to two dozen paintings by Gustav Klimt. Prinz Eugen-Strasse 27, belvedere.at
Urban Vineyard // Nussberg/Grinzing. Vienna is the only capital in the world that produces significant quantities of wine within its borders. Even in winter, one can walk in the hills surrounding the city, and sit and enjoy a glass of Grüner Veltliner or Welschriesling with some simple Austrian dishes in a traditional wine tavern like Mayer am Pfarrplatz. Pfarrplatz 2, pfarrplatz.at
Winter Idyll // Ice skating on Lake Neusiedl.After it freezes over, this lake, just half an hour outside of Vienna, becomes the most beautiful—and largest—skating rink in Central Europe (at nearly 125 square miles). Skates can be rented at Sport Moser or at the Strandbad, both in Neusiedl am See. neusiedler-see.at
Food Bazaar // Karmelitermarkt. The Karmeliter district is one of the most ethnically diverse in Vienna. At its heart is one of the oldest markets in the city, with a wealth of small, organic producers. It is smaller and serves a more local clientele than the better-known Naschmarkt.
The Collector: Francesca von Habsburg
Founder and chair of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary Foundation
Megamarket // Naschmarkt. I love going to this most famous of Vienna's markets to wander through the stalls and restaurants. I always go to Umar Fisch for fresh fish. For a quick bite, I pop into Kim Kocht for some dim sum. In the evening one can rub shoulders with people from all walks of life, from film directors to politicians, at the cheese shop Urbanek, where Gerhard Urbanek serves delicious cheeses, local ham and wine. Umar Fisch: stand 38-39, restaurant 76-79, umarfisch.at; Kim Kocht: stand 29, kimkocht.at; Urbanek: stand 46
Haute Meal // Taubenkobel. Outside of Vienna in the town of Schützen am Gebirge is Taubenkobel restaurant, which has the best cuisine ever. Their degustation menu is second to none, and they have a few cozy rooms in a restored farmhouse with a gorgeous garden and a swimming pond. Hauptstrasse 33, Schützen am Gebirge, taubenkobel.com
Art District // Schleifmühlgasse and Eschenbachgasse. These two streets are packed with art galleries; the area becomes more crowded on art weekends and when there are openings. Visit Kerstin Engholm Gallery on Schleifmühlgasse. Eschenbachgasse offers a slew of interesting places, such as Gallery Meyer Kainer, and is much loved by the art community. diegalerien.at
Chic Boutique // Chegini. It has a mix of national and international designers, including Carol Christian Poell, Rick Owens and Marni. Very cool taste. Plankengasse 4, cheginistore.blogspot.com
The Architect: Zaha Hadid
Winner of the 2004 Pritzker Architecture Prize, professor of Architecture at the Institute of Applied Arts, Vienna
Go-To Gallery // Austrian Museum of Applied Arts/Contemporary Art (MAK) and Café. MAK Museum has held many seminal exhibitions and installations of contemporary art, architecture and design. It also has a wonderful cafe that serves traditional dishes such as Wiener schnitzel. Stubenring 5, mak.at
Sleep in Splendor // Hotel Imperial. This hotel was originally a private palace for the grandniece of the Austrian emperor and Hungarian king Franz Joseph I. Its cafe serves some of the best pastries in Vienna. Kärntner Ring 16, imperialvienna.com
Important Pub // The American Bar (Loos Bar). Adolf Loos was one of the Viennese architects who established modernist architecture in the city. The functionality and materials of his small-scale interiors, such as the 1908 American Bar [commonly known as the Loos Bar], express his theoretical concepts. The room is only about 13 feet by 20 feet, but each detail is very carefully designed, using the specific properties of each material to great effect. Kärntner Durchgang 10, loosbar.at
Gem Shop // Schullin. Particularly in his designs for jewelry shops, Hans Hollein reinterpreted the work of the early Viennese modernists in a contemporary and often unexpected way. Each shop for Schullin has jewel-like qualities, handcrafted materials with very precise detailing. The jewelry is also very unique. Kohlmarkt 7, www.schullin.com

Rudi's Beisl Reservations are essential for dinner at this tiny restaurant with perfectly executed classics. The zwiebelrostbraten—a pan-fried steak—is topped with a haystack of fried onions, and is guaranteed to turn heads as it makes its way to the table. rudisbeisl.at// Hotel Daniel The sailboat sculpture by artist Erwin Wurm wilting off the roof has made this modern hotel into a local landmark. The in-room hammocks add some rustic charm to the stark industrial aesthetic. hoteldaniel.com// Café Sperl Located on a quiet corner just a short walk from the bustling MuseumsQuartier, Café Sperl is less of a scene than many of Vienna's other famed cafes, but it's no less authentic.

I wait until the hype has died down, and until I know it is a product that is going to stick around long enough for me to add it to my list of e-habits. When the hype about Pinterest started reaching a fever pitch, from first glance, I was unamused. I'm not getting married, I just re-decorated my new house, and I jumped off the crafty barge years ago.....so what would I use this for? I knew I was making a pre-judgement about it, and with the buzz, I decided to give it a shot. And sooooooo, I was hooked immediately. Here's why:
To my core, I am a hugely visual person. I have always loved photography and beautiful images - and collected them at an early age in the form of cuttings or souvenirs. Pinterest appealed to this nature since it is simply virtual scrapbooking. I collected images from around the internet into little albums of my subject choice - called "boards" in Pinterest. Once I started boards for the things I love, books, libraries, tea, gardening, history, etc., I found it to be a relaxing and visually stimulating game. And just FYI - this is supposed to be fun, not serious - so let's not over think this people! In short order, I was abandoning "Words With Friends" to see what neat outfits my friends had pinned, or what art work I could add to the mix. Sometimes, I even pinned photos from my blogs. Which is how an idea started to grow.
When I was a teenager, I made a real scrapbook. I can go back to that scrapbook today and view the images with a sense of nostalgia and happy or sad memories. Pinterest does the same thing. I can look at my boards and get a real sense of the things I love or enjoy. In essence, they are representations of me - in such colorful and vibrant expressions! As I looked at them and had some fun, I suddenly wished I had the same visual essence about my ancestors. After all, they loved scrapbooking too. Only a few still exist, but we have examples of the same thing in tangible form. If they could make the same visual choices, what would they pin? What would we learn about them?
Since I could not go back and ask them to pin things.....I started thinking about what images reminded me of them. Once I made a few boards in honor of a few grandparents that have passed, I soon discovered this had the potential to be a useful, teachable and shareable tool for family history. We are always searching for ways to draw in the interest of younger people, to share their heritage in engaging ways. This is a unique and fun way to do so. Let me show you a few boards, followed by what and why I pinned, plus what I learned through the pinning. I quickly discovered that the more I pinned, the more memories were coming to me, in flashes of color. Stories were being remembered, and I was happily remembering my loved ones in ways I had not done so in a long time.
Boards created: Grandpa Charles, Grandpa Roy, Grandma Freida, Great Grandma Nellie
Description for each: What I remember, and what reminds me of him/her.
Subject 1:
Grandpa Charles
Cigars - I can remember him smoking these when I was little, but he stopped when I was about 10.
Benji - He and Grandma took us kids to see this Movie and then they bought a dog that looked just like Benji - and named him as such!
Military images - WWII, D-Day
France - He and the family were stationed there during the Korean War.
Delta Queen - He and Grandma took so many trips on this famous boat, I could not count them.
Trains - Both real and model. Grandpa worked for the Railroad for years - at Union Terminal (another pin) - plus he collected and showed model trains (sometimes all of us grandkids helped him with his model train shows).
Nickel - When it was his turn to baby sit, he would try to bribe us kids with a nickel to "be good"!
Subject 2:
Grandpa Roy
Tobacco - Grew lots on the same farm.
Tractors and field images.
Old Westerns - Zane Grey Books or TV Westerns, or anything "out west" - he loved all of these!
Fireflies - He was always around when we were catching them, either on the front porch with a glass of iced tea (See Freida's pin board), or reminding us the next morning to "let those bugs go or they'll die in that jar!"
Virginia Beach - I remember him lifting me up in the air whenever a wave would hit us - I was only five, but I remember this vividly.
Amtrak - I remember the train ride from Cincinnati to Washington D.C. when I was 9 - He and I were seat buddies behind my Mom and Grandma Freida.
Border Collies - He always had these dogs on the farm - and I dearly loved each one!
Subject 3:
Grandma Freida
Corn on the cob - from picking it, to peeling it, to cooking it, to eating it....wonderful memories.
Books and the Bible - She was a big reader of the Bible and books in general.
Iron Skillets - For cornbread, of course.
Garter snake - She was talented at going after those things with a hoe! Got them every time!
Canning jars - She canned when I was young, and then moved to freezing when I was older, but either meant a lot of growing, picking and blanching.
Flowers, fruit - Had a large orchard, plus various flowers around the house.
Subject 4:
Great Grandma Nellie
Kittens - Always hiding around her porch.
Cotton aprons - Always had one on when I visited.
Sugar cookies!
Hollyhocks and Hollyhock Dolls - She taught me how to make these.
Old school bus in the back, used for storage - but full of bumble bees in the summer!
Letters - She wrote letters all the time.
Family Tree - She was the gatherer of family history and photographs and let me play among them at a young age - letting me ask loads of questions. She was the one who inspired me to research the family and pass on our legacy.
Oh! And don't forget, the beauty of Pinterest, is that the memories are not just yours. You can open up your boards to other family members to invite them to post their favorite images about the loved ones.....you will soon learn that though we have some similar memories, many of us have very different ones, which adds a dimension to the life that was. This is a great way to get families talking about memories. As they post an image, remind them to try and give a caption that explains what this image conjures for them. This can be done anytime of the year, or just after a loved one dies as a celebration, or just before a family reunion! The possibilities are endless - but the fun and lessons learned are far reaching!
A last note about copyright. There is some current stink swirling around about copyright and Pinterest. I will post a link to an article about it - but some people are upset that it pulls in images for sharing with thousands of people without proper credit given. My take on this - as long as you are pinning an image from the direct url source, the image becomes a visual url - clicking on it should take me to the original source. I cannot steal the low-rez image and reproduce for profit, I am sharing visual links with friends - which happens in multiple ways all over the internet. Some places, like Flickr, are starting to block their image content from being pinned - which is ridiculous since they are freely sharing the images with the world already by posting to Flickr - with the understanding that I am only visually enjoying them, not stealing them nor re-using them in an abusive way - I hope the rest of the world does not take this drastic and silly stance. I have purposely visited some of my favorite blogs to pin images knowing people will track back to the blog and give my favorite authors some more, and well deserved traffic. I also pin a few desired products complete with pricing - this is the evolving nature of social media - as long as we use this correctly (and pin from the original source), people are getting credit. But then, hey Pinterest - why not pull in the citation info with an image to include as a caption? Just a thought!
Article from PCWorld: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/250700/what_you_should_know_about_pinterest_and_copyright.html
Positively Splendid Article about proper Pinterest Etiquette:
At the moment, Pinterest is invite only, so if anyone needs an invite, just shoot me an e-mail. If you want to follow my boards as the memories evolve - I am Pastology on Pinterest.
Happy pinning!

|Scope note
|The collection consists of correspondence, minutes, and printed materials pertaining to the organization and activities of the Depo Diaries, a national storytelling project of the Committee on Women, Population, and the Environment (CWPE), 1999-2008. Files include forms and questionnaires for participants in the project, promotional flyers, meeting minutes, and printed materials pertaining to reproductive justice and other CWPE activities.
|Biographical or historical note
|Formed in 2001, the Committee on Women, Population, and the Environment (CWPE), a multi-racial alliance of feminist community organizers, scholarly activists, and health practitioners, is committed to promoting the social and economic empowerment of women in a context of global peace and justice; and to eliminating poverty. As an organization, CWPE supports women's right to safe, voluntary birth control and abortion, while strongly opposing demographically driven population policies, challenging the belief that population growth is the primary cause of environmental degradation, conflict, and growing poverty, working to provide a broader analysis that reflects the complexity of these issues. CWPE works to build partnerships with community organizers, scholar-activists, and health practitioners to accomplish its political goals, coordinating three task forces: the Dangerous Contraceptive Task Force; the Immigration, Environment, and Gender Task Force; and the Gender, Eugenics, and Biotechnology Task Force. These are the vehicles through which CWPE builds strong coalitions to challenge oppressive population control policies. In addition, CWPE also coordinates three critical initiatives designed to address and undermine reproductive violence and increase reproductive self-determination: Stop C.R.A.C.K.!, Depo Diaries, and Stop Sex Selection!. Depo Diaries was a national storytelling project with an emphasis on reproductive justice with the goal of uncovering a more accurate picture of the range and kinds of side effects women experience from Depo-Provera (trademarked name of medroxyprogesterone, an injected contraceptive).

EVANSTON, Ill., Feb. 26 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers say they've developed stretchable batteries that can be used to power a new generation of flexible electronics.
Scientists at Northwestern University and the University of Illinois say the batteries will allow stretchable electronic devices to be used anywhere, including inside the human body where they could monitor anything from brain waves to heart activity, succeeding where flat, rigid batteries would fail.
Yonggang Huang of Northwestern and John A. Rogers of the University of Illinois report they've developed a battery that continues to work even when stretched, folded, twisted and mounted on a human elbow.
The battery can work for eight to nine hours and can then be recharged wirelessly, they said.
"We start with a lot of battery components side by side in a very small space, and we connect them with tightly packed, long wavy lines," Huang said. "These wires provide the flexibility. When we stretch the battery, the wavy interconnecting lines unfurl, much like yarn unspooling. And we can stretch the device a great deal and still have a working battery."
The stretchable battery can deliver power and voltage similar to a conventional lithium-ion battery of the same size, the researchers said, but the flexible battery can stretch up to 300 percent of its original size and still function.

The Vikings finally announced the acquisition of linebacker Desmond Bishop, and they might have ended the comeback attempt of another linebacker in the process.
Via Tom Pelissero of 1500ESPN.com, the Vikings released linebacker Stanford Keglar to make room for Bishop on the roster.
Keglar was signed in May, after not playing a snap in the NFL since 2010. He had spent some time playing in the UFL, though he only received about a fourth of the money he was owed.
Since he said then he was giving the NFL one more shot, it could mean the end of the line for Keglar.

The new Oklahoma Geological Survey's Web site contains maps, publications and other information for teachers and scout groups, civic groups, the oil and gas industry, regional and city planners, hunters and fishing enthusiasts, and all others who work with or enjoy Oklahoma's geology.
The Oklahoma Geological Survey has arranged their Web site information in a more logical way and gives visitors options and links that will make it easier to locate the pages visitors want. OGS hopes visitors find their site easier to use and visually pleasing. �
The OGS was one of the very first three state Surveys to have a Web site, and OGS is excited about the possibilities that lie ahead to provide visitors with more information about Oklahoma geology. �
The main pages linked to the tabs take visitors to links and explanations about specific material in that subject area. Sometimes these pages also link to other sections that contain related information. � �
OGS thinks these changes will make the site more user-friendly and efficient in anticipation of new material OGS will add during the coming year. OGS plans to add many more publications and maps for visitors to download, as well as other projects which are in the works. ���
