Devil Ray breach… no source, but too awesome not to share.

Pelicans and Devil Ray acrobatics via BBC's Earth Flight.
Yesterday was Elasmobranch Tuesday! Our last dive ended with a long encounter with a HUGE Devil ray. It curiously passed by us before turning around and doing a full circle around our dive team.
Their appearance is similar to that of Manta rays, which are in the same family. The Devil fish can attain a disc width of up to 5.2 meters (17 feet) and can probably weigh over a ton, second only to the Manta in size. Despite their size, little is known about this genus.

GTNew For '08*Power: 510 hp*0-60: 4.3 sec.*Top Speed: 191 mphPrice TBA
Aston Martin DBSLet's face it, there are tons of really good luxury GT cars out there. Aston sets the mark for the class, comfortable and powerful, with enough handling prowess to take on sports cars through the corners. The DBS builds on all that is good about the DB9 and adds extensive carbon fiber paneling, revised aerodynamics, and 60 hp more from the 6.0-liter V12.
GT Runner-Up*Power: 420 hp*0-60: 4.9 sec.*Top Speed: 155 mph (ltd.)$86,035
Jaguar XKRWe've found the fast Jag to be one of the most underrated cars on the market. A sweet, supercharged V8 sits up front and makes all the right sounds for a proper GT experience. Seating positions are plenty sporty for fast driving, but also quite comfortable for longer distances. In theory,it's a two-plus-two, though the back seats are probably suitable only for amputees or small dogs.
Full-Size Sedan*Power: 350 hp*0-60: 5.9 sec.*Top Speed: 130 mph (ltd.)$70,690
Audi A8 4.2In Europe, cars in this category or more commonly used as limousines than daily drivers. Here in the States, however, we always seem to think bigger is better. In this light, we picked the best driver's car in the class. The A8 is remarkably athletic for its size-luxurious and sporting with copious amounts of interior space. The base A8, equipped with a 4.2-liter V8, begins just north of $70k, a steal in this sector. You may also opt for a long-wheelbase version, designated L, or one powered by the Volkswagen Group's W12 engine.
Sports Car, $50-$100k*Power: 325 hp*0-60: 4.8 sec.*Top Speed: 177 mph$71,300
Porsche 911 CarreraA predictable pick, perhaps, but truly a benchmark in the automotive world. Every time manufacturers launch vehicles dubbed 911-killers, the marketing hype swirls, head-to-head battles ensue and, once the dust settles and the chest-beating stops, the 911 is still King. Years of racing victory and probably the best R&D abilities on the planet quite simply make for a great sports car. It's facing its toughest competition yet, but still reigns as the best in its category.
Full-Size Sedan Runner-Up*Power: 510 hp*0-60: 4.5 sec.*Top Speed: 130 mph (ltd.)$139,900
Mercedes-Benz S600Divisions ran especially deep as we discussed the full-size category. At least one stubborn staffer was stuck on the S-Class, the S600 in particular. There's just so much to love about Mercedes' bi-turbo V12. If you can afford the price premium, the S600 also includes such standard equipment as dynamic multi-contour seats, a panoramic sunroof and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.

Close to town.
They didn't have our reservation on file. You had to call for someone to come to the front desk. They were very nice about it, but not overly kind because we booked thru a discount service. You get what you pay for. Only hotel in area available that day
Poor 1.0
EverythingWell, our stay at super 8 really wasn't super; in fact, it wound up being somewhat terrifying. When we got to our room, the first thing we noticed was paper stuffed in the peepholes. Upon further inspection it was rather clear that both doors were kicked in, and more than once. Ironically, our front entrance wouldn't even lock. Every little sound outside, {there were many} and curtains would pop open everywhere, including mine. For atmosphere, its a bizarre transient scene outside somewhat reminiscent of a Night of the Living Dead movie. The well lit Comfort inn next door would have been well worth the extra few bucks for a decent night's sleep.

Today children and adults alike are resistant to learning history, and TV and film are often the only ways that they are exposed to the events of the past. The film 300 documents the legend of a particular group of Spartan warriors. The Spartans defended their country, and their people, against the stronger and more numerous Persians. The movie proved that the Davids can beat the Goliaths through sheer determination, skill and bravery.
While many people had heard of the Spartans before the movie, the film rekindled an appreciation for the warriors in their Spartan war helmet and armor. Spartan attire has come to symbolize heroism and courage at its finest. Every kid, or kid at heart, wants to own their own set of armor and wanted to be a Spartan warrior, even if it was just in their imagination.
The term Samurai was first noted in writings of the Eighth Century. The first Samurai were servants. The word, "Samurai,"means retainer. As precarious circumstances developed around the inhabitants of the castle, the Samurai were asked to perform military duties.
They first fought with bows and arrows. As the battles became more fierce, fewer of the archers were seen, because very few possessed the skill to ride and manage to hit their human target. A more accurate weapon was the spear (yari) which was ideal for stabbing a foe to death as well as throwing from the back of a horse.
Confucianism and Zen Buddhism were very strong intellectual influences on the Samurai. The most important ethical demands made by Confuscianism were filial piety and loyalty, both of which were fundamental to the beliefs of the Samurai.
When the famous Samurai sword became the most important weapon of the Samurai, it was not a simple matter of just the mastery of the sword. Confuscianism which was part of the core of the Samurai's belief, stressed the prowess with the sword combined with the need to serve the master. The sword was to be more than a simple weaspon, it had to be an answer to life's questions.
In this blog we have written about swords that possess souls, have names, and are an extension of their human bearer. The Samurai sword is perhaps the most soulful weapon of any, and we will explore all the facets of the Samurai and his weapons in weeks to come.
If you know someone who is a history buff, medieval décor would be a great gift for them. If you look online, you can find great selections of medieval inspired art and figurines. From Norse warriors to dragons, there are several resources that have several pieces to choose from.
While some time periods are clearly defined, medieval is a broad term that is used the Middle Ages, which spans over 1,000 years. Because of this, there are literally thousands of distinct accessories that you can use to when outfitting a home to achieve a medieval ambiance. The next time you're searching for a gift for someone who has their nose buried in the history books, go with something that you're certain they would enjoy.

I agree, if it is such a minimal damage increase why even consider it when you can instead use it to great effect to save your life.
This is like a Paladin Divine Shielding to DPS the boss while standing in fire. Maybe you get a bit more damage, but now you can't use that shield when(if) you need to. Sure we have that option, but it doesn't make any sense.
Very rarely I find wipes are caused by lack of DPS. Most cases it's because of premature deaths. Be it either because of healer mana or conservation issues, or simply because of a player not reacting quickly enough to a mechanic, it's rarely due to low DPS.
You'll get one of those 1% wipes once in a while where everyone says "damn if only I used XXX instead of YYY" but don't let that hinder you. Save your soulburns for something that will have a real impact on the fight.

"Birthday invitation for my daughter's 6th birthday, held in our neighborhood park. I tinted the photo a bit to match the subtle colors in the card. It looked so sweet & timeless! Many people commented on the beautiful invitation."
"I needed these invitations asap and they came so fast I couldn't believe it. I love the design and the quality. Everyone loved it. It made her first birthday invitation special. I can't wait to put this in her scrapbook."
"Amazing invites, so easy to do online! Order was perfect and received to the UK super fast! I love my little girls first birthday invites, they are so cute!"
"Ordered these for my daughter's first birthday. They turned out beautifully. So simple and elegant, and the print quality was excellent. I would highly recommend these invitations!"
"This card looked great on-line and even better when I received the package personalized with my daughter's picture! The quality was amazing. A very cute and sweet card that I would highly recommend. Also has matching address labels which was great for mailing out her invites. We purchased the silver envelopes for a bit extra, but they were well worth the money - the silver looked great with this pink card."

Spring break: Time to release my cover and my first original song
예쁜거. 잘나가는거. 성공하는거. 다 좋지만.. 그것들을 쫒다가 이기적인 나밖에 모르는 그런 사람만큼은 되지 않았으면 좋겠다.
My identity does not lie in academics, beauty, people. Your fears are your chains.. Jesus set me free. I want to stop living in chains.
Finally got to decorate my dorm room. The stickers took forever to put up, but now I get to sleep under the trees and blowing leaves :)
Discovering God is discovering myself
It is not the bad trees in your life that will kill you.
It is the good trees that you elevate to the place of God.
That's what will kill you.
-Summitrdu 2007
Hebrews 12:4
"In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood."
Despite my loving relationship with him and the tender God I have experienced in the past, my God is not a lovey-dovey God who can just overlook sin. He is in fact, a God who is quite ironic, a God who goes over and beyond to teach me a lesson if that means giving me freedom, freedom from those sins. And for that, I praise him.
What is beautiful. What causes anger. Can they exist together

Wet furrows slowly churn, his plough horse snorts,
a farmer walks, lost to his morning world.
Clay sticks, yellow to the disc, he kicks at it,
the dawn sky is his citadel.
Harsh days, like summer, blaze in his memory;
confined to this land, his earthly flesh has made a pact.
His arms are held like tree boughs.

Morning Report: The Kimye Baby
Well, America, it's happened. The Mayans were a few days off, but never doubt the prognostication talents of a civilization that has long since disbanded into the jungles of a random central American country, because as it happens, approximately six months from today, Kim Kardashian will give birth to Kanye West's child and the world will end. Because nothing says "harbinger of the apocalypse" like the sudden procreation of two of the world's largest unsupportable egos.
Well, the largest unsupportable egos outside of Washington.
Let's recap your Fiscal Cliff negotiations before we go off the cultural one.
1. There is no update on your Fiscal Cliff negotiations. Which means your taxes are going up at midnight, probably. Remember that when you're clinking those champagne glasses. And protect yourself. Any unexpected New Years bundles of joy will not be awarded their traditional incentives.
2. There is one plan that might help to soften the blow, though, as Rep. Joe Manchin suggests that instead of socking you with all of the tax hikes at once, the government instead rapes you slowly over the next three years in the hopes that at some point you come to enjoy it.
3. America is now this much closer to firing everyone in DC except for RGIII.
4. Barack Obama now admits there might have been some "sloppiness" in how Benghazi security was handled. But for the record it was entirely the fault of the State Department. Can we talk about something else, like how awesome Barack looks in that soft light they keep using?
5. An NBC medical reporter is puzzled about Hillary Clinton's sudden-onset blood clots, considering you don't usually treat blood clots in your head with blood thinners, so either it's something else or she's having secret cankle replacement surgery.
Happy New Year, America! 2013 is starting off right.

Quickie Vid - "How NOT to leave YVR" Donald is 76 years old and is still cruzing around YVR causing trouble, just as he did 60+ years ago. I asked Donald what his most memorable YVR moments were. It took him a few minutes to respond, probably because he had to filter a few out.. but he did provide one story!
Quickie Vid - "Absolutely Spa-Tastic" The Absolute Spa has numerous locations throughout YVR. They're known for both their "I'm running to the gate" style packages and their "let's spend the entire day at the spa" packages. They heard that I had been pulling a number of all-night jobs and felt sympathetic, so they invited my girlfriend and I to a pedicure and facial treatment. I didn't really know what to expect, but it was about time I embraced my inner METRO-sexual anyway.
Quickie Post - "Halloween in Burkeville" I've visited Burkeville nearly a dozen times since I arrived at YVR. Surprisingly enough, the 700 person community (just steps away from the airport) has some of the best parks and playgrounds I've ever seen. The streets are named after aviation words (like Boeing), the houses look like their from "Leave It To Beaver" and the people actually smile and say hi. It's a pretty nice community. Another thing I've noticed is that when you talk with the locals, one of the first things they say is, "Have you been here for Halloween?" After hearing this for the fifth of sixth time I thought to myself, I've got to experience this "Burkeville Halloween" and find out what all the hype is about. Remember Charlie Barstow, the six year old 'beat-boxer' from Sea Island Elementary? He's the same young gentleman that has captured the hearts of the thousands of Live@YVR fans. Well, Candice and I threw on some costumes (I borrowed mine from the Fairmont) and we walked over to the Barstow residence for a little Halloween celebration. While Russ Barstow took Charlie out for some trick-or-treat action, Sue (Charlie's mom) welcomed us with a huge pot of Butter Chicken, cupcakes and wine. The Barstow's are obviously the entertaining type, as they had a constant flow of smiling neighbors coming and going through their doors all night. It was around 7:00pm and rumors begin to spread that the annual fireworks might be canceled due to wind. But sure enough, the wind calmed down and the streets were soon flooded as the entire neighborhood flocked to the park. Russ Barstow was kind enough to make sure that both Candice and I had 'special' coffees for walk (we had to keep warm some how). It was a clear night, not a cloud in the sky. The park was lit with a soft yellow hue as the light from food vendor trailers scattered across heads in the crowd. A few warning blasts were deployed and soon the fireworks underway. Hanging out with Charlie's family was totally awesome. Both Russ and Sue were very welcoming, and Charlie even shared a bit of his Halloween loot with me. Experiencing the old-fashion Burkeville Halloween tradition was something I'll never forget. I think I can speak for Candice when I say, we'll see you guys next year! *NEW* BURKEVILLE FIREWORKS (Oct 31st): Watch Video: http://vimeo.com/31474114 *NEW* YVR's HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST (Oct 31st): Watch Video: http://vimeo.com/31475860 *OLD* BURKEVILLE HAUNTED HOUSE (Oct 25th): Watch Video: http://vimeo.com/31011205
Quickie Post - Happy Halloween @ YVR I can't believe it. I just wrote an entire post, pressed an unknown button with my pinky and now it's gone. I'd like to give a quick shout out to YVR's Retail Team, and all the amazing pumpkin carving & costume contestants. I was completely shocked by some of the entries! Very creative. It was also an honor to emcee the event. This has been easily the best Halloween ever. My girlfriend just arrived and I'm in a bit of a crunch because we're late for a little Halloween celebration in Burkeville (which is a small community here on Sea Island). I took some amazing footage of the Halloween Pumpkin Carving & Costume Contest and will be sharing it with you shortly. For now, this short post and pics will have to do. Happy Halloween everyone!
Feature Vid - "Snow Removal Training" The weather can be unpredictable here on the West Coast of British Columbia. An unexpected snow storm could put passengers and aircraft at risk of an accident or delay; which is why it's important that YVR's 'Airfield Emergency Services team' is prepared to combat the coming winter months. YVR's Airfield Emergency Services unit consists of a handful of highly trained emergency response professionals. They are not only trained to provide 'first on the scene' services (fire and rescue), they also cut the airfield grass in the summer, clean runways and taxiways year-round with their street sweeper, and remove snow in the winter. All these tasks play a massive role in the safety of passengers and aircraft. It was 10pm. I arrived to a bustling work-yard, flooded with the sound of loud diesel engines and flashing lights. Fifteen massive vehicles stood running, anxiously waiting for the first night of Snow Removal Training. Inside the double-wide trailer (Airfield ER Headquarters), the group was divided into two teams, the Runway Team and Taxiway Team. They meticulously studied their routes, timing and formation. The energy was high, and everyone was excited start. All it took was the word 'go' the teams were off to their vehicles. I was paired with David Costa and his trusty Dump Truck (now converted Salt Truck). We were a part of the Taxiway Team and positioned last in formation. The role of David's truck is to spread salt (distance of 50ft) across the taxiways. This prevents ice from forming and snow from sticking to the taxiways. I liked driving with David. Not only was he the only one willing to entertain a camera in his face, his enthusiasm for his job was contagious. He told stories similar to that of a military veteran, "where the snow was as thick as Santa Clause's beard, visibility was no more than than 10ft, where his machine ran for days on end without stopping, and where he was put up in a neighboring hotel just so he could sleep for six hours and come back to work and do it all over again. He told all these stories with a massive grin, and enough passion to melt the snow with his heart. I had a great time working with the men and women of YVR's Airfield Emergency Services Team. Seeing the team in action during the rainy months was one thing, but I'd love to work a 'real' shift once the snow falls.
Quickie Vid - "Plane Incident @ YVR" A small commuter plane crashed just short of the South Runway at YVR yesterday. No specific details have been released on what may have caused the crash. The plane, a twin engine Beechcraft King Air 100, had just left YVR on a routine trip to Kelowna, BC. Fifteen minutes into the flight it turned back due to mechanical issues. The plane turned around about 15 minutes into the flight. On its approach, the aircraft banked sharply left and crashed 900 metres short of the runway on Richmond's Russ Baker Way, hitting a lamp post and a car, said a witness. Dozens of heroic bi-standards rushed to help pull people from the burning wreck. Within minutes multiple Emergency Response teams were on site to extinguish the flames and rush the pilots and passengers to the hospital. I have posted this video on Facebook and invite any friends, family or fans to share their feelings and memories: www.facebook.com/liveatyvr. My heart goes out to the aviation community as well as everyone involved.

Alcohol, marijuana use decline in Berkeley schools
Students in Berkeley schools are reporting declining substance use rates and decreasing exposure to violence, according to responses to a biennial survey administered across several grade levels, and at Berkeley Technology Academy, in January.
Berkeley Unified School District officials reported preliminary results from the 2012 California Healthy Kids Survey on Wednesday night, Nov. 14, to the Board of Education and school administrators.
The survey data came with a range of caveats, but Student Services Director Susan Craig and Evaluation and Assessment Director Debbi D'Angelo told the board and co-superintendents that the results are "promising" and "reveal a change" in a pattern of "exceedingly high use rates" for marijuana and alcohol. … Continue reading »

32 Degrees Paintball
National Paintball Supply (NPS) began as a distributor of paintball products, and as they grew, they expanded into manufacturing their own products. To fill some needs in the marketplace, NPS, began to make paintball accessories and sold them under the 32 Degrees brand through their distribution network.
The 32 Degrees products were successful and in subsequent years, the product line expanded to cover all segments of the paintball industry – air systems, soft goods, markers and paintballs.
In 2006, NPS merged with Pursuit Marketing Inc (PMI) and that new company became KEE Action Sports. Under KEE, 32 Degrees was discontinued in favor of the Extreme Rage brand, which had a larger market presence.
Many of the original 32 Degrees products were re-branded under other KEE brands and some are still available today.

Hassan Ayariga
Full Name: Hassan Ayariga
Party Affiliation: People's National Convention
Born: 4th September, 1971 (Age 41)
Hometown: Bawku, Upper East
Religion: Muslim
Occupation: Accountant
Current Office: Flagbearer, PNC
Previous Office:
Education: Barewa College, Nigeria, London School of Accountancy
Website: http://www.hassanayariga.com/
Social networks:
Hassan Ayariga has a remarkable record of leadership and experience in business that embodies an unwavering passion and commitment to service. Hassan was born on 4th September 1971 in Bawku in the Upper East Region of Ghana. His father Frank Abdulai Ayariga, was a member of parliament for the Bawku constituency during the third republic administration of Dr. Hilla Limann and his mother Anatu Ayariga, a business woman, whose passion for child education in the then impoverished northern sector of Ghana, made her stand her ground to ensure all her children and those in the community were educated.
Hassan grew up partly in Accra and Bawku before settling in Nigeria when his parents went on Exile after the overthrow of the Limann Administration. All through his childhood his parents taught him the values of service and responsibility and the blessings of his faith, Hassan Ayariga carries with him to this day. Due to the moving around by his father Hassan went to schools in Accra, Bawku and Tamale where he had his secondary education at Ghana Secondary School before moving to Nigeria where he attended Barewa College in Zaria, where he studied ACCA and then to the London School of Accountancy.
Being born into the Nkrumah-Egala-Limann tradition, Hassan has never forgotten his political roots and in 2002 he joined the PNC, a political party formed by Dr. Hilla Limann in 1992 when the ban on party politics in Ghana was lifted. His leadership skills immediately came to the fore and was elected chairman of the Germany (Koln) Chapter. In 2004 he contested for the vice chairmanship of the PNC but later withdrew from the contest and supported Hon. John Ndebugri.
Hassan Ayariga believes this country deserves better and he is seeking the leadership reins of the PNC to seek the mandate of the people of Ghana for an inspiring leadership and rapid development.
Hassan Ayariga is married to Anita Ayariga, a graduate from KNUST who has a deep passion for child education and is working towards ensuring children of school going age in the community get that right. They have a blended family that includes three daughters, two sons and live together in Accra.

text: Ok so I was trying to arrow tune my new 06 E-500. Ive got the LD on it set at 7/8, maybe a hair over closer to 15/16ths possibly. Problem is, my sight is still way left of the CS of my arrow when looking at it from above. The only way I get the arrow to hit where I want it to with the sight, is to have the sight further left than my rest. Whats the fix, do I need to move my rest over to the left a little more?

Ergonomic or Not: Are All Chairs Bad For You?
A hilarious and provocative article in the latest issue of the journal Jacobin posits that chairs are...well, evil. Author Colin McSwiggen writes, "I hate to piss on the party, but chairs suck. All of them. No designer has ever made a good chair, because it is impossible. Some are better than others, but all are bad.
He writes that chairs are a public health hazard, citing a massive American Cancer Society study that found sitting for extended periods during the day dramatically increases the risk of death. This is true even among the fittest, healthiest yogis among us: "Just being seated, in excess, will hurt you." But McSwiggen argues that this study actually understates the issue because it makes it look like the problem is how much we sit, not the real culprit: the chairs. "Sitting wouldn't be so bad if we didn't sit on things that are bad for us."
While your average chair may not seem as malevolent as the skull chair pictured above, this goes for uncomfortable chairs, (which "encourage the sitter to adopt slouched postures that restrict circulation, impede respiratory and intestinal function, and lead to musculoskeletal injuries") and comfortable chairs, which encourage the sitter to "remain in a single static position for long durations without moving, they put extended, unrelieved stress on the spine, weaken the muscles that support the body's frame and prevent injury, and cause the same circulatory problems as their less comfortable counterparts."
But what about those fabulous ergonomic chairs?? Surely they have solved some of these problems? Well, according to Galen Cranz, a sociologist of architecture and perhaps the world's preeminent chair scholar, ergonomics is "confused and even silly."
Yes, some admirable strides have been taken to make chairs less deadly. But McSwiggen says ball chairs, kneeling chairs, and chairs that encourage sitting in several different positions often don't work with common table heights and are too aesthetically unconventional to be acceptable in most offices.
After a fascinating look into the social history of chairs, McSwiggen concludes that whether you think chairs are the devil inanimate or a necessary evil, "the best habit to develop is not to stay seated for more than ten minutes at a time."
That means YOU. Get up! Read Apartment Therapy while you are walking around yourself. You'll get good at it, I promise. Those initial bumps and scrapes will heal!

Over at BoingBoing there have been a bunch of posts about standing desks, apropos of that same study. I have kneeling chair in my studio, as well as raised table where I work standing (in one of my lives I'm a sculptor) - both make me feel more alert & awake that sitting in a conventional chair.
I don't know how we will get any work done getting up every ten minutes.
Standing seems to come with it's own set of problems. I stand most of the day at work, and even with a soft pad under my feet I feel some pain in my ankles and legs.
If we did the healthy things, like getting up every 10 min to move around, get enough sleep, have afternoon naps... the world would certainly be a much slower paced place.
McSwiggen, McSwidden or McSwiddon?
So, we evolved moving around to get work done, while now we often must sit still to get work done? Should we return to kneeling, squatting, or lounging on rugs or floor pillows instead of sitting on chairs? That sounds almost pleasant for home, but hard to imagine for an office. Incidentally, I've heard arguments similar to this post against chairs made against flush toilets. Again, it's hard to imagine alternatives that would suit modern life.
Not based on science but from my own personal experience... I question the ball chair as being somehow better than a regular chair. I was doing contract work at an office where the only free office had an exercise ball instead of a conventional chair. I was fine with that as I have very good core strength and posture. What I also have is very loose joints (not to be confused with muscle flexibility). Sitting on the convex surface all day really took a toll on my alignment and sacral joint... I was in a great deal of pain the rest of the week. I think the ball is fine short term but not for an entire workday.
"the best habit to develop is not to stay seated for more than ten minutes at a time." OR, as some of us in the industry like to say "your best posture is your next posture" meaning no one position is healthy, the body is designed to move. It's our lifestyles and techonolgy that encourage us not to, and contribute to the problem.
Simple solution: At work or home office, place your printer out of arms reach so you have to get up.
Also, a large % of the general public (not us smarties here at AT) isn't aware of what good adjustment is on things like desk height, chair height, back angle, location & angle of keyboard and mouse, correct monitor height etc. These things can help. AT should offer a user guide for these things. The word "ergonomic" is a sales tool to people who dont know that the product itself is only as correct as it's adjustment to the specific proportions of the user.
You know, I joked not long ago that Apartment Therapy may need to be re-titled "Whining About First World Problems". I'm starting to think that joke may be sadly more accurate than I thought.
A wicked twist to a lawn chair!
Ironically, I love the look of the skull chair and would totally use that on my patio.
That chair totally looks like the Venture Brothers logo!
Two observations.
One. I'd like to see that study and understand both what it says and how it came to the conclusion in the press. If we have been living like this for decades and people NOT noticeably dropping like flies, I have to wonder how much of a threat this really is. (I am sure standing more is good for you, but I'm not certain SITTING is as bad for you as reported.)
Two. CHAIRS! Chairs are the sculpture of the world of furniture! I love chairs! I'd collect beautiful chairs if I could afford them and the display space they would require! OK, not all are comfortable or conducive to great posture, but still... so many are wonderful to LOOK at! Some women are into shoes, but I think chairs are so much better!!! ;^)
My yoga teacher says humans are not meant to sit in chairs.
What I have read is you should avoid whenever possible sitting with your feet on the ground, your legs defendant. Put your feet up when you can get away with it.
>>sherrybinnh, the study was widely reported. I read some details about it at the NY Times Well blog. It measured a bunch of body functions in people who sat for X straight hours compared to those who got up and moved around at regular intervals. The findings were pretty scary. Sitting for long intervals affects your body negatively in every measure they took, and it happens fast. And the real bummer is that exercising for 60 or 90 minutes at the end of a long day of sitting doesn't undo the bad effects or stop them from happening. Even if you get a lot of exercise at some other time, long stretches of sitting are bad. The precise recommendation is that every 20 minutes, you should get up and walk on a treadmill for 2 minutes. That's the amount of moving around that kept the bad effects from happening in the study.
Who's to say we aren't dropping like flies because of all the sitting? The whole point of the study was that being sedentary is much worse for us and may cause a lot more disease and ill health effects than we have any idea of.
I'm with you on CHAIRS! Love them.
I made myself a standing desk at work about two months ago and I love it. I stand from 30-80% of the day, depending on the day. I focus better and am more likely to walk around...like going to re-fill my water or grabbing something from the printer right away rather than waiting to do it all later.
@AnnKathleen: Good observation, haha.
In many parts of the world, people squat while cooking/cleaning/talking/giving birth/ using the loo. I think that's always an alternative to standing/sitting. Standing too much hurts, sitting too much hurts, you can always squat! Or lay down.
"Home" by Witold Rybczynski discussed society as two groups, sitters and squatters. Although the issue was comfort and not health, the shortcomings of the chair were hit on. One argument was that while one group kept trying to get comfortable by creating new and better chairs for millennia, the other group found it easier to get and stay comfortable with minimal effort.
As someone with three auto-immune disorders that affect muscles and joint, squatting is definitely out. We are taught to get up and move every 20 minutes, even if we have to set an alarm to remind us. Having a family and pets makes it easier. You're always getting up to do something, clean something, find something ....

Gamer am I said...
Truth be told, I found needing to scrounge up the money for a mount to be more of an annoyance than anything, and I did it back in the day when mounts were available at level 40/60/70 (respectively for each level). Granted, saving up the money for epic flying was very satisfying, but that still costs a lot of gold, and I doubt Blizzard will significantly reduce the price of that any time soon. Mounts are a practical thing, so I don't think it's unreasonable that basic mounts be fairly easy to get. After all, if players want to show off their hard work with a mount, they can go for one of the rarer mounts like a raid-achievement proto-drake or the mechano-hog.
This. I personally think the people who don't embrace the changes in mount level requirements probably don't remember what a stinking PAIN IN THE ASS it was (maybe because they had a guild or group of friends backing their actions? Who can really know.) to get an epic mount, or if you were a Paladin/Warlock what a pain it was to have to run all those instances and crap for the quest. Sure, you got "satisfaction" afterward but really, I ended up just angry that I had to do all that crap for something that is kind of a necessity.
Me? I remember hitting OUTLAND and still having no epic mount because I couldn't come up with the gold. Now, these days, I would easily have even enough to train the older, more expensive epic ground mount riding by time I hit level 60, but in those days I was still kind of a noob. I didn't play the auction house very well, and even though I hardly ever bought anything, I was still low on gold.
And now that I'm leveling alts, lets just say that the thought of having to run around on foot for 40 levels (incidentally the entire reason I hate dustwallow marsh and desolace) is not appealing.
I just don't think everything has to be "hard" in a game to be fun. Not everyone plays like that.
And also, re: Paladin/Warlock quests: There is NOTHING stopping you from still completing the quest at level 60. Same with all the other class-specific quests, like the Polymorph: Pig quest. You can still do them. You can wait until you are level 80 and go back and do them, or you can do them at level 60 if you want. You can still have that epic feeling of completing the quest. You just don't *have* to do it. Try to remember, guys, that what you view as an "epic, fun quest line" is probably a "Annoying, horrible, pain-in-the-ass grind" for someone else. Isn't it a good thing to have variety?
I honestly think that those who hate a challenge are not true gamers. People who only play for gear do not generally find enjoyment in anything but the said acquisition of said gear. In today's game gear really has no other purpose but to appease those kinds of people. I think that should change and raiding, heroics etc should be for people who find them rewarding just by their experience alone.
People should only have to do something if they want to, and being forced or bribed is horrible game design in my opinion.
"Sure, you got "satisfaction" afterward but really, I ended up just angry that I had to do all that crap for something that is kind of a necessity."
Last I checked, this wasn't a necessity considering nothing was keeping you from buying racial mounts. This was a status symbol and really nothing more. Only thing I could never figure out was why Locks and Pallies were the only ones to get a "special" mount >.>

They aren't necessarily doing it for the historical stats, like the fact the Broad Ripple Rockets have never been to the City Championship in back-to-back games. They aren't doing it for the notoriety that comes with a repeat, the trophy, or the patch that could on the back of the letterman's jacket.
The Rockets are doing it, and are one step away from winning the City Tournament, for their fallen teammate Steven Jamison.
"Last year, we lost one of our favorite players, favorite person in the world this year," said Patterson. "We're doing it for him."
Broad Ripple (13-2) took one step closer to the goal of repeating as City Champions Saturday night, defeating Manual (4-11) by the final of 66-51 to advance to the championship game. Manual gave Broad Ripple fits early and often, even taking the lead 33-32 early in the third quarter, but ultimately the Rockets took over the game.
"We picked up on the intensity on the defensive end," said Broad Ripple Head Coach Scott Hicks. "We were able to execute on the offensive end as well. We had guys coming off the bench who executed well, played well, gave us some energy, and our starters stepped up towards the end to finish it off."
Rockets Senior Lamont Pruitt continued his stellar play in the City Tournament with a 17-point performance against the Redskins, the type of game that Hicks is coming to expect from Pruitt.
"He brings a lot of energy and plays very well," said Hicks. "He was able to finish on the offensive end, and that's what we look for in Lamont. He knows his role, he understands his role, and as long as he continues to do that, he's going to play well."
However it was the Junior Patterson, the Indiana University recruit, who led the Rockets in scoring with an overall 22 points. The performance came to no surprise to Hicks, who is seeing Patterson grow as both a basketball player and person off the court right before his eyes.
"He's just matured," said Hicks. "He is really understanding of what we are asking him to do, and like I said he has taken a big leadership role in that. He's been playing that role very well, and he has great upside as well."
The upside is what Patterson seems to be working hard to improve in just about every area that he possibly can.
"My body-building, my jump shot, my defense, everything," said Patterson on what he has been working on. "I've been working hard this year, especially on my ball-handling."
It's this type of improvement, as the stellar play from his teammates, that has Patterson looking not just for the City Championship, but to add some more banners along the way.
"We can go very far in sectional play," said Patterson. "I think we can come out and win, and be at Conseco."
Broad Ripple will play Northwest (9-5) in the championship game on Monday night, who defeated Heritage Christian (6-5) by the final of 94-76.

It takes a while to get to the part where I thought about your idea.
In case you have not watched it yet, let me outline the video so you will know if it should be viewed in it's entirety.
Basically the speaker has trained Crows to find loose coins lost around towns and to bring them back to a self built vending machine that will feed the Crow a peanut ( think it was a peanut) when a coin is dropped into a slot.
This might not be the most practical method of collecting butts, but thought it was worth a view.

Mere Bergstrom of Durham, Connecticut, loves a good party. She loves to prepare quick appetizers for her guests, too. "Crowd pleasers," she calls them.
One savory party-starter that has been pleasing visitors for years is her Spinach Dip, which she adapted from a dressing mix package. Explains Mere, "There were too many ingredients on the package that I couldn't even pronounce, let alone know what they were. So I made my own."
Her guests are glad she did!
Next time you're expecting a gathering, whip up a batch of Mere's yummy dip and serve it with assorted chips or veggies for dipping.
Here's a dip you can feel (almost) virtuous about eating, especially if you eat it with fresh veggies.
Mix all of the ingredients together and chill for at least 1 hour. Serve with fresh vegetables or pita chips.Prep. time: 10 minutes
