It's hard to believe that it's almost been a year since Cataclysm was first released. There's been a lot that has happened – good things, bad things, and things in between that people really aren't sure about. The expansion on a whole seems to be controversial in the fact that some believe it's been a big success, while others believe it's been a failure. I personally think that it's an experiment that was partially successful, but that's for another time.
As of November 29th, the beginning of the end of Cataclysm is upon is.
Blizzard has said that this will be the last full content patch for the expansion, and that this will basically be the end for updates before Mists of Pandaria comes out. This could be taken two ways: the optimistic way, thinking that we'll be seeing MoP sooner rather than later and won't have to do this content forever; or the pessimistic way, thinking that we'll be doing the exact same content for a year, as we did with Icecrown Citadel at the end of Wrath of the Lich King (Ruby Sanctum doesn't count).
Unfortunately I don't work for Blizzard, and I don't know when they hope to release MoP. Like everyone else, I'd rather see it sooner rather than later, but we know that it will be done when it's done. However, all that being said, I'd like to take the optimistic view.
The 4.3 content patch has a lot in it. Not only do we get the new raid on Deathwing, but there are three new 5-man dungeons, a revamped Darkmoon Faire, Transmogrification, Void Storage, the Raid Finder, a bunch of new items from the raids and other content, and a whole bunch of balance changes. It would take too long to go through each one, so I'll suggest you check out WoW Insider's guide to Patch 4.3 to get the details about many of the new features.
Briefly, I'm very happy with Transmogrification. The interface is incredibly easy to use, and I finally am rewarded for being such a packrat for all these years. I was able to have one of my favourite looks of the Tier 5 shoulders and Wildfury Greatstaff for my Druid, which really makes me happy and nostalgic.
Void Storage is nice, but unfortunately a bit too restrictive. I have a lot of stuff in my bank from the many holidays that have come around, and I was hoping to empty a bunch out to free up some room. The biggest thing is that items labelled "unique" or items not soulbound cannot be deposited to VS. Many tabards, as well as other holiday things are all unique, and some of the holiday items like the Brewfest and Winter Veil gear are not soulbound, but I wanted to keep them nonetheless. So I deposited what I could, and at least freed up some room.
The Raid Finder has been one of the things I've been looking forward to most. As I've mentioned before, my schedule is very weird for when I can raid, so now I can raid whenever I want – as long as there's enough other people queuing as well. I was able to get into a group, and successfully get the four bosses currently available with little drama. We only wiped twice, and there were people taking charge of the raid to get things done.
We also got Tyrael's Charger. It's pretty.
All in all, there's some great new content that everyone can enjoy no matter what you do. Raider, casual player, leveling player, there's something for everyone. As I experience more of the new content, I'll post my thoughts about some of them. In the meantime, happy exploring!

Talking about human trafficking is difficult to do, let alone dramatize, without getting into the terrain of heavy-handed. When you add illustrating how the antithesis of empathy paves the way for exploiting illegal workers you'd be right to think that you are in for a scold.
Yet Sideshow Theatre Company's "The Golden Dragon" delves into this territory in depth without a moment of proselytizing or growl. Rather, the creative script by playwright Roland Schimmelpfennig—a journey that takes just over an hour—paints a detailed picture of exploitation that holds you rapt without exciting recoil reflexes. Clearly the direction by Jonathan L. Green and Marti Lyons that moves this script at a clip is also at work to keep you riveted to the tale well told.
Using the famed ant and grasshopper parable and at times a poetic leap, this script relies on expert actors to switch voice and character quickly to bring you personas from the multitudes. There are only five of them to do this—Matt Fletcher, David Lawrence Hamilton, Daria Harper, Deanna Myers and Noah Sullivan—and they do it without flaw. This is a multi-racial cast and each actor is memorably called upon to juggle age, gender, race and the grammatical person in which they are speaking from one line to the next.
The play is named for a pan-Asian restaurant where orders fly in and woks are stirred at a rapid pace to keep up. There is barely space or time for the human drama unfolding within the kitchen. When tragedy becomes centerstage in the kitchen the patrons' orders still keep tumbling in.
In the surrounding building, many faces of cruelty are on display and kindness is in short supply.
One character is a young stewardess who gets a sign of another human life and unlike those around her comes to ponder it. She is perhaps the stand in for all of us who likewise are watching tragedy unfold and yet do nothing.
Be forewarned-- the fast switch of dialogue was apparently beyond some in the audience who in post-show chitchat conveyed that they weren't sure what they had just seen.
Don't let that deter you.
This is a novel way to tell a story and for that reason alone it is worth the time. That you will see the kitchen worker in your take-out joint with new eyes makes the case for this play all the more.
The Golden Dragon is playing at Victory Gardens Theater through February 23.
For more information visit the Sideshow Theater website.
For tickets visit the Victory Gardens website, call their box office at 773 871 3000 or visit the theater in person at 2433 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago.

Troubling Pizza Trends in NYC
As a New Yorker who has known and loved and chronicled New York pizza as much as anyone, I guess, I regret to inform Slice'rs that the state of our pizza union in general in Gotham, and our much-storied slice in particular, is pretty damn sorry right now.
That's because of the confluence of three unwelcome trends here:
- Every deli on every corner seems to be putting in a pizza oven—I guess to encourage one-stop lunch shopping on a daily basis. The unfortunate result is lots of less than mediocre (all right, let's call them bad) slices.
- The proliferation of dollar slice places. I know and appreciate a good food deal as much as anyone, but almost all of the dollar pizza serve pretty awful pizza. I don't mind the small size of the slices, I mind the banal quality of the pizza. I would put it on a par with frozen or chain pizza. I also know that being able to have two slices of pizza and a soda for less than three dollars means there are going to be more, not fewer, dollar pizza places. So I am pissing into the wind here.
- But even the Neapolitan pie, which in general has gotten better, is not immune to mediocrity. There's a proliferation of "Neapolitan" pizzerias here that tout their wood-burning oven and their authentic Neapolitan style. Some of these, of course, are excellent. But you could have the greatest wood-burning oven imaginable and make your own mozzarella and use San Marzano tomatoes and still produce bad pizza. Why? Because making good pizza requires skill and passion and care and great effort. Perhaps most importantly, it requires learning how to make pizza from someone who knows what good pizza is.
Are these trends only in New York? Maybe the dollar slice is, but the ubiquity of bad pizza by the slice is definitely spreading across the nation. On our last trip to the Cape, I noticed that just about every gas station sells frightening-looking pizza. And I'd like to know from all you Slice'rs out there, can you find mediocre pizza made in a wood-burning oven where you live?
These are important questions worth pondering everywhere. But even as we continue to see better pizzerias, innovators and fine piemen all across the city pushing the boundaries and making ever more-interesting pizza, we continue to see the bottom fall out of the proud corner slice tradition—and we see that the title of a Neapolitan pizzerias does not mean what it once did. I fear the pizza culture is collapsing in on itself.

A trip to Miami wouldn't be complete without stopping for an authentic Cuban sandwich, hot off the press and stuffed with roasted pork, smoked ham, garlicky mayonnaise, tangy mustard, dill pickles, and oozing Swiss cheese. It's almost enough to make you miss your flight home. Turning this Cuban specialty into an American one isn't hard to do: just replace the roasted pork with a good old hamburger. Pressing the assembled burger not only yields a crispy toasted bun, but also ensures that all of the elements meld into one cohesive, mouthwatering sandwich.
1 pound ground chuck (80 percent lean) or ground turkey (90 percent lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 cloves roasted garlic, mashed
4 hamburger buns, split
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
8 thin slices Swiss cheese
4 thin slices smoked ham
2 dill pickles, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper. Cook the burgers, using the oil. Remove the burgers to a plate.
Combine the mayonnaise and roasted garlic in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread both sides of each bun with the mayonnaise and the mustard. Place a slice of cheese on each bun bottom, place a burger on top, and then top the burger with a slice of ham, another slice of cheese, and some pickle slices. Cover with the bun tops.
Cook the burgers on a sandwich press or wrap the burgers in aluminum foil and cook in a hot skillet over high heat (put a heavy skillet on top of the burgers to press them) until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

According to news reports, NELLY ARCAN's body was found by her live-in boyfriend in her home on St. Dominick St., in Montréal, QC Friday, September 24, 2009. The first police report that I heard over the radio noted that she was 37 years old & that she had committed suicide. Subsequent newspaper articles have given her age as 35 & her funeral home obituary notes that she was 36 years old but her birth year was not indicated. One article lists her DOB as 1973-03-05 but I have no proof of this.
Nelly's birth name was Isabelle FORTIER, the daughter of Germain FORTIER & Jacinthe MERCIER, who were married in Notre-Dame-de-Fatima parish, in Lac-Mégantic, Frontenac County, QC. Her obituary notes that they had 2 children: Isabelle & her brother, Érik.
Apparently, Isabelle left her hometown of Lac-Mégantic in her early twenties to settle in Montréal, where she became a Call Girl. The people, who knew her, claim that she was mentally unstable & suicidal, having attempted to kill herself on several occasions. As a result of these attempts, she was hospitalized now & then.
Isabelle wrote her first book, PUTAIN, under the pen name of NELLY ARCAN. Although a novel, PUTAIN (published 2002) was based upon her experience as a prostitute. It immediately became a bestseller and Nelly's name made the headlines. She was interviewed on radio & television, which brought her more popularity. Some say that the topic of SEX appealed to her readers. Successive novels by Nelly ARCAN were published: Folie (2004), L'enfant dans le miroir (2007), À ciel ouvert (2007) & her most recent novel, Paradis, clés en main (which was scheduled to be published in November 2009). The publisher intends to bring out the book at that date despite Nelly's suicide.
At the time of her death, Nelly was a chronicler on a Montréal television variety show, ICI, on channel VOX. Her co-workers were dismayed by the news of her death, but some commented not being surprised. Youth and good looks were important to Nelly and she was pushing 40 years of age, which seemed to be a problem for her. She had always been a beautiful blond woman and still was, and her physical beauty preoccupied her.
All of NELLY ARCAN's novels seem to be based upon her life experiences, both physical & emotional. I have not yet read any of her books, but I will do so shortly.

The Colony is City by the Lake in Denton County with the shores of Lake Lewisville as its backyard and all the big city advantages nearby. From leisure activities, business and play, The Colony offers it all. The Colony features miles of trails and green space, offering all kinds of outdoor recreation which have earned The Colony designations as both a Tree City USA and a Playful City USA. Its Five Star Athletic Complex helped The Colony be tapped by Sports Illustrated as its 50th Anniversary Sports Town of the United States. It is corporate headquarter for Pizza Inn and the Edward Don distribution center. All this might be enough for some cities, but The Colony isn't content to be just like any other suburb.
The Colony is a vibrant community that embraces economic growth, and because of that has landed of the largest retail furniture development in the nation. Upon completion in 2015, Grandscape will introduce one of the largest and most unique mixed-use real estate developments in the world with over 400 acres and 3.9 million square feet of retail, entertainment, dining and attractions. It is expected to create 2,000 jobs and attract between 8 to 10 million visitors a year. Its anchor tenant, Nebraska Furniture Mart of Texas, will be the largest furniture store in the nation offering furniture, flooring, appliances and electronics in a distribution center that is more than 22 football fields in size. It will offer a true, one-stop shop for household items with in-stock product and same-day pickup available. The Warren Buffet-owned furniture store has become a magnet for other commercial developers. TopGolf-The Colony is already one of the region's premier new attractions, opened just across the street.
The Colony also ranked No. 10 on Money's list of "Where Homes are Affordable." With a median home price of $135,863, the city enjoys a wealth of housing options, from one-bedroom apartments to lakeside mansions. The Colony is located inside both the Lewisville Independent School District and the Little Elm Independent School District. The Lewisville ISD has built six elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school inside the city limits. The Little Elm ISD is currently building a K-8 Stem Academy in The Tribute subdivision with a focus on teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics to meet demand for the technology dependent society of today and tomorrow.

July 30, 2014 (Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) – Are we alone in the universe? For decades, Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute has sought to answer this question. On Aug. 5, longtime SETI Institute Director Jill Tarter will take a public lecture audience on the journey through SETI's past, present, and future, as it tries to answer history's most tantalizing question.
Part of the International Conference on Women in Physics, Tarter's lecture, called "SETI: Past, Present, and Future (Finding Aliens and Finding Ourselves)" will discuss new collaborations and ideas, such as detecting information-carrying photons, or developing a "genomic SETI." She will also explore why, in a world of instant communication and short-term thinking, it's more crucial than ever to undertake and support decades-spanning research into what Tarter calls one of the most profound human undertakings imaginable.
Tarter holds the Bernard M. Oliver Chair for SETI at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California. She holds a PhD in Astronomy from the University of California, Berkeley, and has served as Project Scientist for NASA's SETI program, the High Resolution Microwave Survey, and has conducted numerous observational programs at radio observatories worldwide.
Tarter's work has brought her wide recognition in the scientific community, including the Lifetime Achievement Award from Women in Aerospace and two Public Service Medals from NASA. In 2004, Time Magazine named her among the Time 100 most influential people in the world. She was the inspiration behind the character of Ellie Arroway in Carl Sagan's novel Contact, and the subsequent film starring Jodie Foster.
This lecture will be held in the Bricker Academic Building at Wilfrid Laurier University on Tuesday, August 5, 2014, at 7:00 PM ET.

The following appeared in the 2005.12.24 edition of LE REFLET, a weekly newspaper in the MONTÉRÉGIE, published in Delson, QC. The English synopsis is mine.

Type: ToyOh how I love the Super Powers action figures line! Sad thing is, I didn't gobble them all up at the time and consequently don't have this sweet sweet Superman! Removable cape! Squeeze his legs and he throws a punch! (I still have Aquaman, Green Lantern, Darkseid, Dr. Fate, Hawkman and Brainiac, plus crap I picked up in yard sales like Desaad and an off-model Parademon. And I still play around with them.)
Now, there are some handsome action figures coming out these days (mostly from DC Direct), but gosh, the Super Powers guys were FUN. I still prefer their cloth capes to the semi-rigid rubber used on many figures today, and the idea that you could make them punch, swim, run, fly, cast a spell, etc. with a quick squeeze made them the top superhero figure of the 80s, and still relevant today. Some of them even had extra gimmicks, like Darkseid's Omega Beams, produced when you shone a light on the top of his head.
If I were made of money or had a time machine... But the latter hasn't been invented yet, and as for the former, a look at eBay shows loose figures starting at around 10$, and carded ones often hitting and passing 60$. Never mind the vehicles! Look at this sweet bunch:
And way too many holes in my collection to ever make it affordable. But I can dream...

oh yeah this was a great action figure line! all together i had about 7 - 8 of em including the Steppenwolf one you get in the mail with enough proofs of purchase. among the best figures in this line were the Martian Manhunter,Drakside, Brianiac and Green Lantern. this was one of the great toy lines of the 80's. i used to really like the Super Powers cartoon that went along with the figures.

I never realised they brought out so many! Crikey, isn't that last one Tyr? Of all the Legion related characters to make an action figure out of that's an odd one, but cool nonetheless.

I agree. An odd mix of DC's greatest heroes and villains + New Gods from the Jack Kirby Super Powers comics series + characters who appeared on the Super-Friends continuation titled Super Powers.

Between my brother and me, we had the entire first wave except the ever-elusive Wonder Woman, and we had Firestorm, Darkseid, Mantis, Captain Marvel, Cyclone and Mr. Freeze from the later ones. Plus the Supermobile and Lex Soar 7, but sadly never a Batmobile or the Hall of Justice (although I new people who had each of those).
Unfortunately, once I started growing out of toys, my brother and a friend of his developed a habit of destroying or burying action figures, so they've all pretty much been lost to the mists of time.

For some interesting insight on where the toyline may have gone, check out this article:

Parademon may be off-model but I do believe Kirby did the redesign.
- February 3, 2011 at 1:30 PM
- Siskoid said...
Yes, that's true, in the Super Powers mini-series.
Probably because the standard model looked too much like Mantis.

I had a few random Super Powers figures, but I went more for the Secret Wars line.
Man, did I back the wrong horse.

I have a couple of those too - Doctor Doom and Wolverine - but damn those scratchable black details. They came right off!

- Shlomo Ben Hungstien said...
i also had a lot of Secret Wars figures too. they were sculpted better but not as articulate. what really carried that toy line was the Secret Wars comic book series which was among the best comic book gems of the 80s.
- February 3, 2011 at 10:20 PM
- Siskoid said...
Sure, name recognition and all, but the line had plenty of figures that had nothing to do with Secret Wars, like Daredevil and Silver Surfer.
Or did they start doing Secret Wars II figures (and if so, where's my Potty-Training Beyonder?)

I had the first two rows of figures, The Super-plane thing, the Batmobile, The Hall of Justice, Steppenwolf and a mail-away Clark Kent! I was spoiled rotten!
I still have most of them, but to say they're in disrepair is putting it lightly. Darkseid is missing an arm, the parademon is missing both arms, I lost a yellow cape years ago, so Doctor Fate and Robin had to share the one that I had left. These were really great toys.
- March 25, 2011 at 1:45 PM
- Siskoid said...
Haha. yeah my Darkseid is also a one-armed man (Run!!!).
I've lost GL's lantern and Aquaman's trident too. Booo.

SAN DIEGO -- A workout using Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) is comparable to many other aerobic activities and could result in significant weight loss if used regularly, according to research commissioned by the American Council on Exercise (ACE).
The research from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse focused on quantifying DDR's potential physical benefits by looking at the caloric expenditure data of 24 volunteers.
Led by John Porcari, Ph.D., FACSM, and Anna Norlin, M.S., male and female subjects, ages 12 to 25 years old, were recruited for the study. Half the volunteers were under the age of 18 and enlisted from the local La Crosse Boys & Girls Club.
Based on the physiological responses to three levels of DDR, all subjects showed a marked increase in exercise intensity as they participated. Adult participants burned more calories, which can be attributed to differences in body weight since the adults averaged about 25 pounds heavier than teenage subjects. On average, teens burned 5.9 kcal/min on light mode, 6.7 kcal/min on standard mode and 8.1 kcal/min on difficult mode.
All study participants, regardless of their experience with DDR, were required to practice a pre-determined four-song dance sequence for up to six hour-long practice sessions or until they could demonstrate proficiency. Testing included continuously monitoring all participants of their oxygen uptake, heart rate and ratings of perceived exertion.
For a detailed summary of the study as seen in the Sept. /Oct. 2007 ACE Fitness Matters, visit http://www.acefitness.org/cp/pdfs/FitnessMatters/Sept07.pdf.

OUTSTANDING achievements and years of dedication were recognized at Oman Air's annual long service award ceremony. The event further re-enforced the important role of the staff to the overall success of the company.
Oman Air, the National Carrier of Oman, honored the long-standing employees who have completed 15 years in the service of the company, in a special celebration held at Golden Tulip Hotel Seeb under the auspices of Peter Hill, CEO of Oman Air and in the presence of members of the senior management. It has been Oman Air's tradition to hold such a ceremony as appreciation and encouragement of its staff to enhance their performance and output, and in recognition of their faith and devotion to hard work.
Peter Hill thanked the long service staff for their sincere efforts throughout their past service. Certificates of recognition and appreciation prizes were awarded.
Peter Hill said:
"These awards are not so much for long service anymore, but as a reward for loyalty. Loyalty and dedication are the keys to the success of any organisation. The long years put in by these staff is an ample proof of the conducive working environment provided by Oman Air. We understand the value and importance of the human resource and will continue to enhance the facilities and incentives as tools of motivation to our staff. This ceremony itself is an evidence of Oman Air's efforts to ensure our employees are recognized and appreciated for their efforts. I want to congratulate the recipients for demonstrating faith in the company, and standing by it through thick and thin"
Sheikh Ahmed Al Nabhani, Chief Officer Support Services said:
"Oman Air has witnessed a significant expansion and has earned the global reputation as a leading airline that offers best services and products. The achievements that Oman Air has earned have all been due to the dedication and hard work of its employees. We salute the efforts of our staff, especially our long-standing colleagues, for their sincere effort in making Oman Air a truly global phenomenon."
Al Nabhani also added:
"We are hopeful that this ceremony, held to honour the employees who have been with us for over fifteen years in the service, will encourage and motivate other employees as well. Oman Air has ambitious plans and long-term strategies for the development of its human resources. We will continue forward with our plans to train staff and provide the support required to help them perform their jobs to the best of their capabilities."
On behalf of the members of staff that were honoured, Saleh bin Abdullah Zadjali Senior Manager Training & Development Center, thanked the senior management of Oman Air on their goodwill gesture.
"This celebration proves the management's care and appreciation for its employees who began their career with the company and played a vital role in Oman Air's expansion and the status that it is enjoying today. This event we are sure will raise the morale of the honored staff as well as encourage the rest and motivate them to work hard."
Around 520 employees were honoured on this occasion.
Sheikha Bint Ali Alamry, Customer Service and Grooming Supervisor thanked the management on behalf of Customer Services, pointing out the valuable support given by the management, which helped staff perform duties in the best possible manner, resulting in Oman Air winning many awards and accolades vying with leading international airlines.
