It's still learning.
Owl Turd Comix by Shenanigansen
So I came home from school to see my 7 year old sister putting skittles with my antidepressants, I went up to her and asked "Hey what you doing?" She looked at me, smiled and said "Skittles make me happy so I put them with your medicine that makes you happy so you can be extra happy." That was the cutest thing i've ever heard.
I just want to pour my soul out on someone and not have to worry about the mess I've made.

If I walked into some person's home and said I lived there, I'd be arrested. Nobody would say to the owners that they should invest in curtains so that people couldn't see how nice their house was so easily. Nobody would tell them that they were 'asking for it'.
And if I beat a guy up because he was a loud mouth I'd be charged. Nobody would say oh but look at him, he's a dick. He's got gel in his hair and he's wearing a shirt that says "How about a nice cup of shut the fuck up". The dude is a wanker, he got what he deserved. More importantly, even if they did say that, it wouldn't effect my charges.
But if a woman is wearing a short skirt then it will dramatically sway people's opinions in a rape case. Was it cut above the knee? Was your waist showing? These are serious questions that will be asked in a court case.

Throughout the month of August, Tribune writers are tasting our way through some of Utah's finest frozen confections including ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt and shave ice in an effort to beat the heat. Today's pick:
Strawberry balsamic gelato • Yes, the kind of balsamic vinegar you might put on your dinner salad. Mixed with the fresh berry flavor of Dolcetti's wonderful gelato recipe, the sweet and tart of fresh berries yields to the sharp presence of balsamic that's at once invigorating and stimulating. In short, this tastes like no other ice cream you've had all summer.
Dolcetti Geloto Italian Fusion Desserts • 902 E. 900 South, Salt Lake City, 801-485-3254; 390 E. 4th Ave., Salt Lake City, 801-990-7012. Both locations are open from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday; and 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Dolcetti Gelato also is sold at Whole Foods and served at Grand America Hotel, Pago and Michelangelo's restaurants in Salt Lake City and Holladay and Dolce Cucina in Cottonwood.
Price • Piccolo to Mezzo to Grande sizes cost between $3.50 to $4.90.
Shop talk • Dolcetti's gelato comes straight from the heart of Italy, thanks in part to owners Mark and Elizabeth England's travels in Venice and other cities of continental Europe, where the gelato is made with flair and attention to ingredients. In this case, that means crafted from RGBH-free milk, with only a one-third to a quarter the amount of butter fat you'll find in traditional, American ice cream. Dolcetti's 9th & 9th store boasts Mark's intriguing paintings — he's an MFA graduate from Brigham Young University — in addition to his eye-grabbing chandelier. The sounds of Edith Piaf waft through the store, making it an ideal place to park your Belgian waffle-cone or to sip on the "San Pellegrino Float" ($4). This unique strawberry lemonade is a mix of strawberrry sorbettto and lemon-flavored San Pellegrino.

- Types of Cancer
While cancer can occur in different areas of the body, each type is characterized by an uncontrolled, abnormal growth of cells. Some cancers form tumors while others circulate in the blood. A tumor can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). After cancer is detected, your doctor will perform additional tests to accurately diagnose its stage and the type of treatment that will be most effective.
Being told you have cancer is shocking and scary. But you have many reasons to feel optimistic about the great advances in cancer treatment today. The Cancer Care Center staff at Doctors Hospital will make the journey toward survival with you! One of the best steps you can take is to get informed about your type of cancer. To learn more detail about diagnosis, treatment, managing side effects, and added resources, click on the type of cancer:

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Friday, March 13, 2009
There's a special time in a parent's life when you begin teaching your little tots the fine art of life. Like how to wiggle your way out of a ticket or jail time after rear ending a police car or maybe how to play with scissors discreetly.
This morning, it was introducing Nathan to my ol college buddy, Maruchan Instant Ramen, Chicken Flavor.
Ouch, mommy! Noodles too hot!
I haven't had instant ramen since I was pregnant with Nathan 4 years ago, when all I would eat was McDonald's french fries dipped in McDonald's soft serve, chased by an instant ramen cup. That was all I wanted to eat, sometimes I'd wake up at 4am, scurry to the kitchen and raid my stash of artificial flavors. Preganancy produced all sorts of whacky sensations, including one side of my body being hot, the other cold, hungry one moment and my teeth itching the next. So, I'd stand there in the kitchen, with only one sock on, loudly slurping so fast on my instant ramen, that the tails of the noodles whip my cheek, my nose, my forehead.
Mommy blows noodles to cool them off
I hadn't had instant ramen since then – and today, when I was looking for something in the pantry….SCORE! I found 2 cups of instant ramen! So, who cares if these babies were 4 years old?? I'm sure that if the artificial crap inside the cup didn't kill me during college or if Nathan turned out with 15 toes, this surely wouldn't harm us today.
And so I taught Nathan how to carefully, slowely peel back the paper lid without tearing it, pour in the hot water to just riiiiight there, position the paper lid right back on, fold the little tab to make it stay and then prop a pair of chopsticks on top of the lid so that it wouldn't pop up from the steam.
Now he's happy!
You have to wait just the right amount of time – the noodles shouldn't be too hard or too soggy. And you have to SLLLUUUURRRRRPPPPP fast!! This is like totally the finest form of bonding ever.
Oh and to my personal trainer, Alicia, I swear I really didn't eat this. I just PRETENDED to eat the 330 empty calories. No sirrreeee….I had a salad.
Absolutely Beautiful! These photos warm my heart. Thank you
These pictures are so cute! Esp the last one! : )
article in this site very grade and benefit for me, am will be to visit again to here
what adorable pictures!! maruchan ramen is the best. (aside from the korean ramen, shin ramyun, which is A-W-E-S-O-M-E)
as for the mcd's fries dipped in milkshakes, hey, i've been doing that since i was a kid. everyone thought i was strange.
You are the best, mom, EVER. I love the sweet tenderness that you show in these pictures. I grew up on instant noodles, and I actually think of them fondly. Um, but I do have a question to ask… When are you going to add a little girl to your family of boys, and name that little girl "Passionate Eater?" Just as your boys are the handsomest little devils in the whole state of Florida, your little mini-Jaden would be as beautiful as you, and that means she'd be gorgeous. I am patiently waiting for your prompt response, Jaden. You'd better get moving!
How cute! I love a good cup o' ramen, though I do like to jazz it up with extras if I can.
I see you succumbed to the chopsticks with training wheels.
I always have these noodles at home for a snack in the evening when we have nothing else.
Looks like both mom and son enjoyed the instant expirience.
Such precious pictures!! I used to love wendy's french fries dipped in frosties, so fries in soft serve isn't that weird!
Girlfriend, you are hilarious – always making me laugh (and making me snort beverages on my keyboard). But I have to tell you that when I saw you blowing on the noodles I was like, "My mom did that too when I was
25 little!" You and your boys are so cute. xxoo
I like the 'training wheel' chopsticks. I have a pair in our kitchen drawer waiting for Marlee one day.. of course she's not 2 months old yet so it might be awhile.
Instant noodles deserve a lot of respect. They've always been there through the hard times, and gave us comfort in better times. I like to consider myself the instant noodle master. I can really make a mean bowl.
I've been reading your blog for a while and I had to comment today. I love instant ramen ( instant noodle). When we lived in Hong Kong, the first 8 years of my life, we would eat it for breakfast with ham and eggs. Fast forward many, many years later, I'm living in Mexico with my husband and two boys (4 and 2) and both my boys love LOVE Maruchan. There's not too many brands of instant ramen here however there are lots of different flavours. I feel less guilty feeding it to them without the soup. Its a comfort food to me.
So cute! I still get down on a cup of ramen from time to time. There's something so nostalgic about it.
That reminds me, I should expand my palate beyond just Top Ramen. I think I'll have some Ramen for lunch!
Those pictures are so sweet, they brought a lump to my throat.
I love ramen (and I'm not ashamed!), I prefer the Sapporo brand, which takes a few minutes to cook on the stove. Add in some bean sprouts, chopped kale, or even a little leftover stir fry, and it makes a decent, filling meal, albeit high fat.
So, eating ramen again for the first time in 4 years…? Anything ELSE you want to share with us?
Ooooooooooooooo, how cute is that!
I love those kiddie chopstick.
And, of course, a good story with a good laugh!
How cute! My husband grew up eating Sapporo Ichiban, and buys it by the caseload from our local Japanese grocery store. I'm sure your son will be hooked.
Mmmm… super-salty instant Ramen. Hello, my lovely. My 3 1/2 year-old twins haven't yet had the pleasure. Sounds like a weekend mommy-daughters-bonding plan!
Such sweet pictures of the two of you! Memories in the making when you share something like that… artificial flavors be damned!
Aww! I heart you guys
God I haven't had one of those in years! You've totally inspired me to boil up some water and pour it in that styrofoam cup.
What a precious post. You and I craved almost the same things while pregnant, how funny. With my second it was falafel….well I still crave that now, lol. Someday your son will look back and those photos and smile.
That look on Nathan's face in the last photo…is precious. LOL
Maruchan Roast Beef flavor has been my favorite… sometimes jazzed up with blanched you-choy or fresh bean sprout, beef meatballs, garnished with sambal, sliced green onions, and fried shallots. Complete and balance meal for cheap!!!
Bonding with your son is priceless…
Great photos of the two of you! Cup ramen was definitely a staple during my dorm years and I think that was also when I really started experimenting with more unusual flavours (like adding tahini to make it a little more creamy).
AWWWWW! That's so cute. Love the pics! I like his chopsticks too! By the way, thanks for the advice and reply back! = )
Aw! I love his chopsticks!
Adorable pictures!!!
This is adorable and just incredibly sweet to watch. Children are precious especially when you see the fascination and admiration they have for their parents.
Thank you for sharing. Love the chopsticks as well
Where did you get them, need some for my own pumpkins.
LOVE the chopsticks!! Very cute!
OMG, look at those chopsticks, Adorable!!! I had a similar experience a couple of years ago while at a friends house. I hadn't had it since I was a teenager and it was SO good. Your description of the preparation is perfect!
You had better be careful…I met Alicia and I think she could kick your butt for eating bad things!!! Very cute post.
Adorable photos! You make such a cute couple together..:)
Awww, so sweet! We have the training chopsticks, too. When I was in college, I'd gourmet up my cup o' noodles with Pace picante sauce. I was a fusion pioneer!
Well, now that's just ridiculously adorable. (the pics and story, not so much the ramen)
Aww…what a great bonding experience–from one food lover to another!
Please do an indepth article on ramen!
My heart would explode!
personal trainer to you: yeah, right! who took the wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime pictures. you guys are so sweet. here's hoping they will stay sweet for a longer period of time.
Very cute! A much better activity than teaching him how to talk his way out of jail time
So cute Jaden! (Oh, and Nathan too )
Great story! Love the pics! Your boy/s are the cutest!
Sweet photos. When I was pregnant I craved Chicken In a Biscuit crackers. Something about artificial chicken flavor wrapped in a sodium bomb that's unbeatable.
He is the cutest!!! I love this series of bonding over instant noodles…and love his cute little "trainer" chopsticks!
May I just say that I'm pretty much addicted to noodles of any kind so you will be promptly added to my little foodie blog roll.
I'm not a foodie blogger, but I really wanna' be.
I always enjoyed adding a poached egg to any type of ramen – loved it when the yolk would break out and join its noodly friends.
Love the pictures – brought back memories of my years in university. I once ate jasmine rice and hot sauce for 3 months.
oh my.. this is such a precious moment! and nathan is too cute! :o)
Ahh, a cup of ramen … it's one of my guilty pleasures. I lived on ramen during college and it holds a special place in my heart
Nothing like bonding with your boy and some noodles!
ah. nothing warms the heart like instant noodle soup. and sharing it with your baby is so sweet. nice post!
Awwww, so cute!

feedtime was an independent punk-rock trio from Sydney, Australia, formed in 1979. The name is spelled with a lowercase f. The members were credited by their first names only: Rick (guitar, vocals), Al (bass), and Tom (drums).
feedtime made four albums in the 1980s. Initially they recorded only for Aberrant Records in Australia, but their second through fourth albums were released internationally by the legendary indie label Rough Trade. The second album, Shovel, received the greatest critical acclaim. The last of these four albums, Suction, was produced by Butch Vig.
feedtime's sound was loud, primitive, and brutal. The most distinctive musical element is thick, roaring electric guitar, played with a slide, over a thick, chugging rhythm section. Their loud but stripped-down, minimalist approach led them to be compared to the Britis...

With politicians and priests, this is the worst job that we can find !
I can't kill.
Thats a hard Question.Its easy to say one thing but another to actually do it !
No,not at all.
For me, there is no "right" pay and benefits for doing that job.
No! I would always wonder if any of the people I executed was an innocent person being put to death.
I wouldn't care about the pay or benefits, but I could probably do it just to make sure that the person/persons die in the most humane way possible if there is such a thing.
There are some people I would gleefully execute for free. But, they are people against whom I have something very personal.
I would do it for free
dark-shades, bang the button, go get drunk<br />
Who needs pay, except for expenses. It would be a pleasure to rid the world of some of these scumbs.
Are you kidding? I'd do it for free. Depending on the prisoner, I might even pay for the privilege!
no . . .
There should be a lot more of them to get rid of the dross !!!!!!!!!
no prob

Baltimore's 100 best restaurants [Pictures]
Famously conservative, Baltimore's dining scene continues to show signs of a great awakening. There are more, and better, options in style and substance. Our list of 100 best restaurants, in Baltimore and the surrounding counties, reflects the wide spectrum of choices available to diners, from mom and pop storefronts to waterfront extravaganzas. The best restaurants have little in common, other than the proven ability to consistently please their customers. It's been a particularly stellar year for new restaurants. From Hampden and Harbor East, the hits kept coming. The farm-to-table trend dominated, and casual places started getting fancier. A few old favorites had some major changes, too. More so than in other cities, the restaurant community in Baltimore is remarkably cohesive, too, with abundant examples of mentoring and collaboration. That's another hopeful sign of better things to come.

Community Health
Community Health has to do with the study and betterment of the health characteristics of biological communities. While the term "community" can be broadly defined as "people with shared characteristics or something in common that connects them in some way", community health tends to focus on the people and factors which affect their health in specific geographic areas.
Indian Health Service promotes an interdisciplinary approach to promote and provide for community health. A variety of programs, disciplines, strategies and interventions work collaboratively together to pursue the IHS mission to raise the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of American Indians and Alaska Natives to the highest level.

New "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Regulations a Positive Step Toward Repeal This Year
March 25, 2010
Today, the Department of Defense released regulations that will limit the circumstances under which a service member can be investigated and discharged from the military under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." These new regulations will have a tangible impact on the thousands of lesbian and gay service members who are currently serving in silence, under threat of being investigated and discharged. Specifically, raising the level of the commander authorized to initiate a discharge investigation, revising the threshold for credible information and third-party allegations, and protecting disclosure to medical and psychological personnel and for other non-military purposes, are welcome and long overdue. However, despite these changes, lesbian and gay service member will continue to risk being discharged based on their sexual orientation. Said HRC President Joe Solmonese:
"These new regulations are a positive step toward repeal of the discriminatory 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' law this year. Congress must continue to move forward with legislative action to repeal the law this year while the Pentagon continues its work to determine how to best implement that repeal. Two branches of government can and should work concurrently toward repeal. There is no reason for Congress to wait for the details on implementation when Secretary Gates and the President have made it clear that this law should be repealed." He added: "Our community is doing the hard work of lobbying members of Congress and making sure the grassroots pressure is on for repeal. With health insurance reform passed and a successful conclusion reached, now is the time for more visible and aggressive leadership from the White House to push for a vote this year."
Joe also as an op-ed on the subject on the Huffington Post where he writes:
We cannot forget that thousands of men and women – who serve just as honorably and bravely as their straight peers – still cannot serve openly. We welcome this step forward, but we can't stop fighting for full repeal. It would be tragic to allow progress to lead to inaction. Now is the time to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," and this is the year.
UPDATE: Here is our further analysis of the new regulations: The newly revised regulations require discharges to be initiated, investigated and authorized by a higher level of officer than was previously required by the regulations. In addition, the regulations now require that "credible information" provided by "reliable persons" must be given under oath, and that overheard statements and hearsay should not be considered "credible information." Moreover, the revised regulations state that third-parties motivated to harm a service member should not be considered reliable for the purpose of initiating a discharge. Furthermore, the revised regulations clearly prohibit certain categories of confidential information from being used for discharge purposes, including information provided to lawyers, clergy, psychotherapists, medical professionals, domestic and physical abuse professionals and federal government security clearance investigators. They also require that a preponderance of the evidence support the discharge of a service member; that an investigation should not evaluate service member's credibility when determining if that service member engaged in prohibited acts; and that a service member may decide to refrain from commenting on an accusation of prohibited without a negative inference being drawn from that decision.

The Cruelty of Fur Trim
The next time you walk down a city street on a cold winter day, take a close look at what people are wearing. Chances are you'll find fur trim on everything from jacket collars and cuffs to sweaters and vests — even handbags and belts. The fur industry is spending big to weave what it calls "the new American fabric" into any item it can convince designers to sell.
But fur is no mere "fabric." Every piece of fur is the result of horrific cruelty. Animals trapped for their fur can suffer for hours or days in body-gripping traps, chewing through their own feet in a desperate attempt to escape. More than four million wild animals are trapped and killed each year in the United States by commercial and recreational trappers alone. On fur farms, millions more live in tiny, barren cages where they may literally go insane before they are gassed, clubbed, or anally electrocuted. Animals commonly killed for the fur trim trade include fox, coyote, bobcat, raccoon, muskrat, marten, and rabbit.
Unsuspecting Consumers
Public ignorance about the cruelty of fur production has led to a staggering growth in the fur trim trade. Analysts predict that the number of animal pelts used for trim will soon outnumber those used in the production of full-length coats. Fur trim does not carry the same social stigma as coats, perhaps because many people incorrectly assume that trim is an industry byproduct, consisting of unusable scraps that would otherwise be thrown away. According to producers, however, 90 percent of foxes raised on farms are killed for the fur trim market.
In addition, many people do not realize that the trim found on relatively inexpensive cloth and leather garments is real fur — in part because of a loophole in the law. In 2000, after an international investigation into the widespread slaughter of dogs and cats for the fur trade, primarily in Asia, the U.S. Congress passed the Dog and Cat Protection Act. DNA testing had revealed the presence of dog and cat fur in products ranging from trim on jackets to animal-shaped trinkets. This bill banned the importation of products containing dog or cat fur, but left in place a loophole in existing law regarding labeling requirements.
Today, fur items valued at over $150 must be labeled as real and identify the species of origin; fur trim on a collar or purse valued at less than $150, however, requires no label. As a result, many consumers mistakenly believe that the furry ruff donning their new denim jacket is synthetic. Furthermore, because the Dog and Cat Protection Act does not require testing of products nor provide for enforcement, advocates believe it is likely that products containing dog and cat fur still make their way into the U.S. marketplace and the hands of unsuspecting shoppers.
"Democratizing" Fur
Aiming to appeal to a younger, "hipper" consumer, the fur industry has embarked on a well-funded campaign to popularize fur trim through magazine ads, billboards, cinema commercials, and TV ads. The aim of its $1-million "Fur Works For Everyone" PR effort is to increase fur wearing by women and men 25-35 years old. In a 2002 Fur World magazine article, Fur Council of Canada Executive Vice President Alan Herscovici stated, "Trendy styles and affordability are the key to market expansion, and that is our main objective."
A recent national survey revealed that women and men ages 25-35 know little about trapping. The survey, conducted by the International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies as part of an outreach program aimed at increasing public acceptance of trapping, concluded that the American populace is highly malleable and is "free to project on to trapping whatever image first comes to mind."
Recognizing the critical need to increase public knowledge, API has joined the International Fur Free Alliance (www.inFURmation.com), a coalition of humane and conservation organizations representing tens of millions of people worldwide. The mission of the Fur Free Alliance (FFA) is "to bring an end to the killing and exploitation of all animals for their fur by raising awareness about the cruelty and negative environmental impacts associated with the global fur trade through appropriate legal and non-violent means."
As a joint effort with the FFA, API and The Fund for Animals helped sponsor a full-page ad in the December 2002 issue of Cosmopolitan, which reaches millions of consumers across North America. Featuring actress Jessica Biel of the popular TV series 7th Heaven, the ad exposes the cruelty behind fur and fur trim and exclaims, "Compassion is the new fashion." The ad also urges readers to be "real trend-setters" by not buying products made with fur or fur trim.
Advocates Reaching Out
Reaching mainstream America with our message about fur and trapping is not easy. Budgets and media access are often limited. Our one ad in Cosmo may be overshadowed by the dozens placed by fur retailers, designers, and trade groups. But we know from experience that when we do reach consumers with the truth about fur and fur trim, we forever alter their perceptions of these "luxury" items.
In an effort to deliver our message about fur to a wider audience, API produced Cull of the Wild: The Truth Behind Trapping, a documentary available in half-hour and ten-minute versions. This powerful film exposes the inherent cruelty of body-crushing traps and refutes myths perpetuated by proponents.
With the help of grassroots groups from across the country, we've been able to reach a broad spectrum of the populace from politicians to mainstream consumers. Members of the New Hampshire Furbearer Protection Team showed Cull of the Wild at protests after learning that the state trappers' association planned to donate a coat made from the pelts of 25 fishers to the winner of the Miss New Hampshire Pageant. Activists in Indiana showed the video in their efforts to educate state officials about the use of cruel body-gripping traps by "nuisance" wildlife control trappers. As part of its campaign to end a statewide coyote-snaring program, the Maine NoSnare Task Force is using the film to inform residents about trapping.
Individual activists can make a difference as well. Making sure not to buy products containing fur is an important step. We can also counteract myths put forward by the fur industry by educating others. Perhaps the next time you see someone wearing a fur-trimmed jacket, you can politely hand him or her one of API's wallet-sized "Compassion is Always in Fashion" fur cards. You'd be surprised how many people are open to learning — if the lessons are given in a spirit of compassion and understanding.
Finding Facts about Fur
Visit API's new website, www.BanCruelTraps.com, for information about trapping and the fur trade. The site includes facts, statistics, action alerts, information on how to mount an anti-trapping/fur campaign, model legislation, and examples of successful anti-trapping campaigns, among other resources. In addition, you can contact API to receive "Compassion is Always in Fashion" informational cards and fact sheets about trapping.

TIAA-CREF, Wharton Auditorium
New York, NY
March 2002 |
A goal of saving for retirement is to have enough money to live comfortably for the rest of one's life. Increased longevity and volatile financial markets mean that individuals must pay special attention to their investment portfolios, to insure that they do not outlive their assets.
Retirees may want to build more certainty into planning their distributions from retirement plans and investments. A new generation of analyses can help determine what options are best. Research by John Ameriks, Ph.D., Senior Research Fellow, TIAA-CREF Institute, and two other scholars, published in the December 2001 issue of the Journal of Financial Planning, discusses devising the optimal retirement portfolio.
Addressing the need to maintain income, the researchers designed the study to measure:
"People spend a lot of time configuring retirement portfolios to hedge market risk when they should be just as concerned about hedging longevity risk," says Ameriks.
At this seminar Dr. Ameriks discussed the sustainability of investment portfolio withdrawals. Topics included asset allocation of retirement portfolios, payout solutions and estate planning benefits.

Tinkatolli! The first virtual world for kids based on creativity and junkThursday, May 27th, 2010
(or – "What I have really been doing these past few years")
a brand new virtual world
Production over the past 2 years, by two guys and a gal, weathered 4 production babies, the financial crisis and empty pockets – and still, our steely determination has finally brought our project – Tinkatolli – to a bit of fruition. It's nearly ready for beta testing.
At Nordic Game we'll be meeting and greeting industry folks, handing out our colourful business cards and shouting out about our TinkaMaker and social media linkups: TinkAbout It (our Tinkatolli blog), Twitter and Facebook, as a bit of a preview.
Let me tell you a bit about why this is so cool.
Creative tinkering – for real
Personally, I have the pleasure of doodling, thinking up, drawing, animating and inventing the world online, on my computer; and then I turn to my sketchbook, my box of household junk – break out the scissors, tape and string, and start actually making stuff. Out of junk.
This is very liberating. No worries about wasting expensive (or mildly expensive) materials on a project you aren't totally sure of – it's already waste! Just go for it.
For the whole of my career only a handful of people (outside of my industry) have actually understood what I do for a living. Folks know I draw, and that it has to do with computers, but the understanding drops off from that point. This project unites my creative production online, as it has been the past decade and a half, with real-life production – offline. I can now actually hold something in my hands that I have made for "work". I don't have to be connected to the internets to show my Granny what I have done. The "thing" I make gets documented with photos and videos, and then eventually drawn into the world and made into an instructional PDF. This project, on a whole, brings into play all the areas I got into the business for in the first place. Finally I get to really work with real multimedia. And that, for me, makes it so I can't really get bored. There's always something to design, draw, write about, photograph and video, and if there happens to be a lull, that means it's time to think up something new.
I love it.
Sustainability in a virtual world
It's recycling. Pretty simple. Tinkatolli uses the junk you have thrown away to make toys, games and fun with. This is something I get excited about. Being a young divorced dad with two energetic boys and living in the city, we'd almost always have to plan a trip to Toys'R'Us every week, for something to do, and for them to at least drool over the latest doodad their friends at daycare had (Pokemon was big, Dragonball, some goofy bean thingys that actually had cool characters printed on them – so much stuff). Just GOING there seemed to appease the little rugrats, in itself. I was pretty strict about not buying every piece of crap plastic they saw, and usually cracked out the pencils, paper or LEGO instead. But the pressure was there to provide a steady flow of doodads and fun -and that could cost a bundle, or a load of energy.
Admittedly I didn't have the energy all the time. During our apartment moves, I'd always have to go through the old toys, and see what would have to go the way of the bin this time, since the boys had outgrown them, and we didn't have room to store them. All that broken down, tangeld mess of plastic that was so important to have in the moment, shoved into a box and forgotten the next moment. Why? Because those little guys had nothing invested in the toys. They hadn't bought them, they hadn't had to care for them, and they certainly couldn't have made them themselves.
Making things turns that cycle on its head.
Kids make their own fun, and learn how to think creatively.
Once a kid makes a thing – it's theirs. They might forget about the thing in the long run, but they won't forget the experience of making, nor the feeling of accomplishment having made something cool and fun. Creativity has long been pidgeonholed as being something creative people are born with, not a skill. I think it IS a skill, one that you get better at – by doing – by trying and failing, and trying again. Doing the action over and over again, demystifies the creative ability, and turns it into a skill, like any other.
I never learned how to dance- but I do it. I look funny doing it, I annoy and embarrass friends when I do it- but I do it a lot. Some folks even think I'm pretty good. I wouldn't enter a competition or anything, but I have been known to take the floor. I do enjoy a party dance. On TInkatolli we give kids the chance to make their mark in the world they are a part of. They can invent, make, and document their offline creations, upload it to the game – and show off their creations for all the other kids to see and vote on. The best ideas get made on Tinkatolli and turned into activities for all the kids to make. It's like a school dance – they can take over the dancefloor, without feeling they are entering a judged competition… it's just their pals looking on, and cheering. It's not about being the best, necessarily – but having a go at it. Show and tell.
Tinkatolli is a labour of love, and a passionate subject for me. It embodies a lot of good stuff I think kids should be exposed to – creativity, environmental awareness, fun and games, doodling and creativity, funny quirky characters, motion, science and health and it empowers them to shape their own fun time.
Sounds good, eh? I could go on about how instilling creative thinking and innovation, environmental awareness, good eating habits, daily exercise, and social skills are beneficial to your child, and help shape them into well rounded individuals – but I'll suffice to say; "It ROCKS!"
Go on – give it a try;)

City Lights
Posted on
I just returned from the unbelievably beautiful city of Budapest that I am still dreaming about. I will be remembering this short trip for the rest of my life. It was so perfect! We had the most spellbinding view from our hotel room that faced the riverside. The city was lit up in the most spectacular way that we ended up staring out the window for what must have been almost an hour. I love the effect of the reflections in the window!

Those activities (phishing, keylogging) work because, like it or not, there are enough people using the internet who are not "computer people". Would you trust your parents to secure their computer? Your neighbor? The clerk at the grocery store? Any one of these people could be playing WoW, and susceptible to account compromise.
In a perfect world, we would all be technically savvy enough to protect our computers and data. However, it's not a perfect world. And we all have to deal with the consequences of that. Blizzard has no way of determine who is and who is not capable of securing their computer.
As this discussion is about Blizzard's authenticators and the security of your WoW account, I am going to choose to ignore your irrelevant conclusion regarding total system security.
I am neither opposed to, nor in favor of mandatory authenticators. On a voluntary basis, I am of the opinion that you are not doing all that you can to protect your data and WoW account if you do not have an authenticator. Even though I was at low risk of compromise I chose to get an authenticator. Prior to getting the authenticator I was already:
1) Running a Juniper Netscreen SSG-5 appliance at the edge of my home network. It has the Anti-Virus, Deep Inspection and Web Filtering features enabled. They are all configured and active. My screening and policy rules are restrictive.
2) My OS and all applications are patched and up to date. My OS choice is irrelevant to this discussion, but I do run Mac OS X. Just because there are presently no known WoW keyloggers for it today does not mean there won't be tomorrow.
3) I run AV on my system daily and against any downloaded file.
4) I do not use BitTorrent/Limewire/the current P2P client du jour for acquiring music/warez/whatever. I do use BitTorrent for downloading LINUX ISO's related to work, but they are AV scanned and I confirm the MD5 and SHA1 checksums before use.
Even with all of that, I chose to get an authenticator.
Ultimately, as things stand today, it's your choice to get an authenticator or not. You pay your $15/month to Blizzard and you accept their TOS. If they change the TOS to require an authenticator, you will get to choose to accept the new terms, or to cancel your account.

@10 ... typical of any stealth class really.
Back when my lock was 24, some dbag 20 NE druid thought he could gank me while I was questing. I owned him ... 6 times.
Eventually he brought a level 27 NE druid pal to assist in ganking me. I owned both of them twice and continued to quest. After a few more tries, they got me when I caught aggro on a respawned mob.
I had a feeling they would still be there by the time I got back to my body, the 20 seemed a little persistent. Sure enough, as I ran around in death I stumbled across the 20, the 27, and then a 28 druid. All in stealth around my body. I whispered my level 70 shadow priest friend to come give me a hand as I just wanted to finish my last quest to move from stonetalon to whatever was next on my list. Before my friend arrived the 28 went afk. I popped ... feared the 27 ... dotted the 20 ... and owned the two non-afks. I used the afk 28 after the fight as a life/mana battery until she died.
By the time my friend showed up there was a 30+ in the mix looking for me. I cannot tell you how hard my sides hurt as I watched the 4 of them try to kill me with a 70 shadow priest hiding behind a tree. Endless life and mana for whatever I didn't have on CD at the time.
That was the most fun I've EVER had in my 2 years in wow. Took them two rez's to figure out there was a 70 there and to run away.

In fact, here you go:
Need Before Greed Updated
Need Before Greed will now recognize gear appropriate for a class in three ways: the class must be able to equip the item, pure melee will be unable to roll on spellpower items, and classes are limited to their dominant armor type (for example, plate for paladins). All items will still be available via greed rolls should no member be able to use the item as well as the new disenchant option will be available for all parties.
Also, try this: http://www.wow.com/2009/10/30/drama-mamas-reading-is-hard/
Oh and the disenchant option won't be available to all parties, only ones with an enchanter of suitably high level to DE it. Without their permission/consent. Because after all, enchanters are normally mean and won't DE for PUGs going on the comments from http://www.wow.com/2009/10/28/disenchanting-in-dungeons-in-patch-3-3/ (though I rather like the idea of cheap shards).
The OP says
"But surely there must be a solution, so let's put our heads together.. If Blizzard wanted to really go for fair, they could just take the Need-before-Greed system and turn it into straight Need: if an item matches your class and spec, you get a roll"
Suggesting that Blizzard implement something that they have, in fact, announced that they are going to implement. Wow! Brilliant idea OP. The patch notes state that you will only get a Need roll, if you can use the item. IE: spellpower plate is only Needable by paladins.
@ Groth - He was pining for the exact changes announced.
@ Tim - Backatcha
"Suggesting that Blizzard implement something that they have, in fact, announced that they are going to implement. Wow! Brilliant idea OP. The patch notes state that you will only get a Need roll, if you can use the item. IE: spellpower plate is only Needable by paladins."
In fact what I think he is suggesting is to take the "greed" option out of the picture completely so that you roll on something if you can use it, otherwise you don't get the option to roll. This way there would never be confusion/ninja'ing from saying "Everyone roll greed on a mount" and having one person roll need.
Personally I think master looter should be turned off for certain rolls, eg rare mounts. Far too often the drop that persuades people to turn ninja are these extremely rare drops that people may never see again. Masterlooter is only really applicable to actual *gear* loot, where someone may have had a piece already, it might be offspec, or whatever your loot rules. Rare mounts however, have no need for this looting system and it gets abused with no recourse and low probability of seeing it again. So for these certain pieces of loot I think it should just be a straight need/pass even if ML has been set for the raid. Everyone always gets to roll or pass, just as it should be.

I think Blizz should have a system where if every other person in the raid reports you as a ninja looter you get a ninja looter badge of shame forever above that characters head

Two Greedy Italians, Series 1 Episode 1 of 4
Duration: 59 minutes
Internationally renowned chefs and old friends Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo return to the Italy they left more than 40 years ago, to discover what has changed in Italian culture and how that has affected the way Italians eat.
When they were boys, divorce was illegal, recipes were handed down from mother to daughter and every Italian woman took pride in their ability to cook for their family. In the first of the series, the greedy cooks eat their way around Emilia Romagna, home of parma ham and parmesan cheese, to find out if food and family are still at the heart of Italian life.
To begin, they spend an enjoyable Sunday lunch with a traditional Italian family whose fortunes ferment with the balsamic vinegar in their vaults. For the daughters, weekends are dominated by the loving preparation of traditional tortellini, a symbol of their love and ties with their family.
In Bologna, they meet a feisty female crime journalist whose life does not revolve around cooking and a fast food tortellini millionaire whose livelihood depends upon these changing lifestyles. They check in at a dating agency to see how Italian women find husbands now and Antonio is cajoled into going on a blind date.
Finally, they are surprised to uncover the essence of family when Gennaro is moved to tears by an unusual group of cheesemakers.
Homely recipes in this episode are Mamma Contaldo's ricotta dumplings and slow cooked family stew with polenta. Gennaro also creates a seductive warm chocolate and amaretto pudding.

IONIA, MI (WHTC) - A Holland company is helping a West Michigan community deal with the loss of one of its icons. An official of Eco Demolition lives in Belding, near where the historic Whites Covered Bridge burned down last month in an apparently act of arson. He convinced company management to donate labor and equipment to collect the debris from the span out of the Flat River, with that work slated for today. Local residents are raising funds to rebuild the 146-year-old bridge after Ionia County Road Commissioners said that there wasn't any money in their budget for that project. No suspect is in custody as an investigation into the arson crime continues.

They're a familiar sight on downtown streets.
Whether patrolling by bicycle, on foot, or in a pickup truck, CAP officers provide a variety of services to anyone in the business district.
"We do jump starts, tire changes, unlocks," said CAP Sergeant Scotty Armstrong. "Also, security escorts. If you feel unsafe, say you're coming out of the bank, you just made a withdrawal, we'll come and walk you to your car."
They'll even give you a gallon of gasoline if you run out. They'll remove graffiti from signs and walls and alleys. Essentially, they serve as an extra set of eyes and ears -- helping increase safety and the overall appearance of the area.
"We're a non-profit, so we don't charge the customer at all," Armstrong said.
For a while, CAP has wanted to expand its offerings beyond the business district and into more residential areas of downtown. This week, CAP is offering its services to loft dwellers, working to convince more property owners to agree to the expansion idea.
Director Teresa Thorne said CAP has proven results in the Business District. And it wants to spread those results to the Loft District.
"Since we've been down here, property values have increased about 68-percent," Thorne said. "The crime statistics in the area downtown that we patrol have compared to Mountain Brook and Vestavia in terms of safety."
Thorne has crime comparison figures to back up her claim. She said the people who work downtown understand that it is generally safe. But there is still a negative perception of downtown among other people who are more unfamiliar with the area. CAP is one of a handful of agencies working to fight that perception.
"We try to make the area look clean and safe," Armstrong said. "We're ambassadors for the downtown. When people are down here, they see a CAP, and they say, 'Well, I need directions to this place. We're going to ask him.' And they feel safe coming and approaching us and asking us for anything, and that's the way we want it."
While the services CAP provides are free at the time of service, property owners in the CAP coverage area pay an annual assessment to fund the program. So in order to cover the Loft District, CAP needs signatures from property owners representing 67% of the total property value in the area. In the loft district, a property owner would pay $120 a year per $100,000 of property value.
Thorne said the return on that investment would be a more vibrant community.
"Safety is a big factor in that -- in making businesses want to come down and people want to come and live in the area," she said.
Once the needed signatures are secured, the issue would go before the Birmingham City Council, Thorne said. From there, a hearing would be held followed by a council vote on a resolution.
While CAP officers do not have the same authority as police officers, they take care of a lot of the "community policing" issues that can affect a neighborhood. CAP maintains constant contact with officers whenever the help of police is needed.
If enough residential property owners agree to the expansion, CAP will expand its services over several more blocks.
"We aggressively patrol," Armstrong said. "We want to be visible."

Men's Soccer Drops Close Contest at Rollins
Winter Park, Fla. – It was a battle between two heavy weights but Lynn University's men's soccer team fell just short in a 1-0 loss at top-ranked Rollins on Tuesday night. Harris Smiler turned away four shots after entering as a defensive replacement. The Fighting Knights drop to 8-5-1 overall and 5-2-0 in the Sunshine State Conference.
It was a tough first half offensively for both teams as Lynn's and Rollins' defenses were are their best. The Tars (15-0-0, 7-0-0 SSC) jumped on a defensive gaffe in the 36th minute when Mark Biddinger slipped a long ball through the center of the LU 18-yard box uncontested and Evan Greenbaum was able to capitalize to put Rollins on top 1-0.
Lynn had several second-half opportunities to equalize, starting with Simon Gubisch in the 74th minute. The lefty midfielder turned around his defender and made a bee-line towards goal, drawing in two defenders in the process. Rollins' keeper Keneil Baker made an effort to stop the play but Gubisch dribbled around and looked at an open net. The Tars were able to clear the pass inside the six-yard box and maintain their lead.
Smiler kept the team close with a minute to play when he made a diving stop on Brett Durrance's shot inside the box. He entered in the 8th minute following an injury to starter Kevin Shields. He was immediately tested with a corner kick and later made an aerial stop in the top-right corner from a Rollins shot.
Rollins out shot Lynn 10-8 and held a slight 7-6 advantage in corner kicks.
The Fighting Knights close out the regular season at home on Saturday, November 2, at 3:30 p.m. when they host Florida Tech. Lynn will honor its senior class prior to the match. Fans can watch the action live at LynnFightingKnights.com and receive in-game updates by following @LUKnights on Twitter, Instagram and Vine.

Should you pay debt or invest?
Paying down high-interest debt like your credit card balance is important, but that doesn't mean you should neglect your retirement savings.
A lot of advice about paying off debt encourages a laser-like focus. Debt is expensive, while investment returns are uncertain. Who wouldn't choose to pay off a credit card charging 22% instead of funding a retirement account that might return 8% (maybe, if you're lucky)?
So, case closed, right? Not so fast.
Too many people making the debt vs. investing analysis are missing the bigger picture. And if they knew exactly what they were missing, they would understand the correct answer is: Do both.
Here's why: Retirement is expensive, and it can last a long time. Most people will have to save a substantial portion of their earnings over their working lifetimes if they want to retire comfortably. If they don't take the opportunities they're given to invest for retirement, they quickly fall behind, never to catch up.
More specifically, here's what you lose when you don't invest for retirement:
A possible company match. Most companies that offer 401k plans also offer some kind of match -- typically half of what you contribute, up to 6% or so. That's free money, honey, and represents an instant 50% return. Even smaller matches can give your account a substantial boost.
A tax break. When you put a dollar into a retirement plan, you get to invest the whole dollar. If you want to put the same dollar toward your debt, however, you'll typically have only 85 cents to work with if you're in the 15% federal tax bracket -- and even less if you're in higher brackets. Lower-income people could be giving up even more: a tax credit that can equal up to 50% of your contribution.
The power of compounding. It's been called the eighth wonder of the world, for good reason. It can make you rich if you understand how it works.
The best way to illustrate is through the example of twins Megan and Morgan. Megan invests $250 a month, or $3,000 a year, in an IRA starting at age 22. Morgan procrastinates. At age 32, Megan stops investing and Morgan starts, putting aside the same $3,000 a year and continuing for the next 30 years.
Overall, Morgan contributes a lot more to her retirement: $90,000, versus Megan's $30,000. But guess who has more money at age 62? It's Megan, the one who got the early start. Exactly how much more depends on the rate of return you use, but assuming a 7% return would leave Megan with $315,522 and Morgan with $283,382.
You may not be able to contribute $3,000 a year yet. You may not have a sister named Morgan. It doesn't matter. The point is that money contributed to your retirement accounts when you're young matters a lot more than money contributed later in life. If you put off investing for retirement, it will get harder and harder to catch up. Many people find they can't. Their expenses grow as they get older, and they can't reclaim the golden opportunity they had in their youth to assure their future comfort.
That doesn't mean it's hopeless if you've already reached midlife without much retirement savings. But you really need to start socking money away and not putting it off any longer, unless you can live on about $1,000 a month (which is the typical Social Security check).
Here's the thing: Saving for retirement is often a "use it or lose it" proposition. You can't get back the company matches or tax breaks you didn't use. You can't make up for lost opportunities to fund Roth IRAs, which probably should be called the ninth wonder of the world. (Roths don't offer an upfront tax deduction, but your contributions can be withdrawn tax-free anytime, and all your earnings are tax-free when withdrawn in retirement.) You certainly can't turn back the clock to get the returns you missed because you failed to make those contributions.
Will your investments show positive returns every year? Probably not. Some years, you'll lose money. But over time, a diversified portfolio of investments should earn the kind of returns you'll need to retire someday.
- Calculator: Do I have too much debt?
Does that mean you can ignore your debts? Hardly. What you need is a smart debt repayment plan that has you focusing on paying off your most toxic debt, such as credit cards, while you also save for retirement. You don't have to be in a rush to pay off low-rate, potentially tax-deductible debts such as mortgages and federal student loans. Save prepaying those obligations for when all your other debts are paid and you're on track for retirement.
What if you just can't do it? What if you can pay only the minimums on your debt, or less, if you try to save for retirement? Then you're in a deeper hole than you may understand. If you can't cut your expenses or earn more money to free up the necessary funds, then it's time to make two appointments: one with a legitimate credit counselor and another with an experienced bankruptcy attorney, to see what your options might be.
