A rant.Crossposting this from my tumblr: http://cosmicunicornscribbles.tumblr.com/post/43286218117/fucking-hellI have a larger soapbox here.Fucking hell.I'm sorry but
people who keep bitching about alicorn/princess Twilight?Are really goddamn irritating.All I see is a bunch of whining. SO MUCH WHINING."BAWWWW, NOW SHE'S A PRINCESS!""BAAAAWW, NOW SHE HAS WINGS!""BAAWWW, I DON'T LIKE CHANGE!""BAAWWW, HASBRO!" Fuck! Grow up.My Little Pony was, and always has been, a cartoon made to sell toys. IT'S A GIANT COMMERCIAL. That is the entire reason it existsGET OVER IT. Nevertheless, the writers do a damn good job working in all of Hasbro's marketing desires.Besides, it was completely expected. For instance: A decent bit of FiM pulls inspiration from Sailor Moon. Annnnd guess what? Sailor Moon was a princesswho periodically "leveled up" and got things like wings.Also, princesses are a marketing trend right nowof course Hasbro is going to cash in on that. Fi

Kid's ShowI wonder if there's like a Pantheon of Alicorns representing thingsCelestia is the Princess of the Sun and dayLuna is the Princess of the Moon, Night, and DreamsCadance is the Crystal Princess and Princess of Love (apparently[?])Now let's add another layer. We know an Alicorn can be corrupted into evil because we saw Nightmare Moon. Now look at Chrysalis. Her form is something that closely resembles an alicorn. It's quite possible she was once the original Princess of Love, who got corrupted. Basing on a fanon that she was the Pony who accidentally took the love poison, it's probable that it in turn corrupted her and after a long time it changed her permanently to something she isn't.Now let's recall how young Cadance looked. She looked like a regular unicorn when twi was young. Could it be possible that she was a normal Pony, unicorn or otherwise, who became worthy to become a Princess herself?Lastly, King Sombra... Could it be that he was under training to become a Prince as we

Elderly patients trying to exert some control over where they die still face formidable obstacles, and may be determined as much by payment policies as by medical necessity or personal preference.
The Journal of the American Medical Association has published a new study that shows that a smaller proportion of Medicare patients were dying in hospitals at the end of the last decade than at the beginning.
The report indicates that is likely due both to increased availability of home hospice care and home care along with policies that discourage long hospital stays.
The numbers also show that nearly 30 percent of those who died in hospice were in that setting for three days or less, and of that group, 40 percent had been in a hospital ICU before they were transferred.
Access to hospice may be further complicated by who pays for care and complicated Medicare rules.

Sometimes I will say something like, "Oh... here we go again- yet another generic. insecure abusive jerk in a computer game." Somehow that shuts them up.
I laugh at them.. or when I am healing.. just stop healing them.. then laugh.
I seem to run into these guys in the Random Dungeon finder alot-- just lucky i guess. I usually ignore them but have on occasion lost my temper and let them have it for being such mean spirited jerks. These people are the worst part of WOW for me, and sometimes make me just want to stop playing. In RL I am (almost) never exoposed to such nastiness, and i ask myself why im playing a game where i am forced to deal with it . . .
Sounds like the mage didn't know his/her class...
1) Counterspell the MOB's mind control ability
2) Slow on the counterspell? Sheep the MC'ed player
3) No need to DPS an MC'ed player if you have CC or stun moves (any class)
Three strikes and you're out! This is why we mages get a bad name =(
I wish Blizz implemented a battlegroup only friends list(not the upcoming real id thing), theres alot of people I have met in those runs that I wish I could talk to and group up with again.
The fact its impossible, and the effect it has had on the community(among other things like Gearscore), has ruined the game for me to the point where I now have to justify renewing my subscription.

I run with warlock who kept telling the tank to pull more in the Nexus cause he had to go run his daily on his tank still. we were going one group at a time and it was a decent pace, not slow at all. Right before Anomalus i snapped and said "It's called patience. Learn some." the lock retorted with "its called tanking, learn it." and the tank pulled everything on the platform before Anomolus and then ran straight at Anomolus. it got the lock to shut up and our awesome healer kept us from wiping.
@draco - I had a similar situation a while back in Nexus. I was tanking, and DK dps kept badgering me to pull faster, even when the healer clearly wasn't ready.
On the second to last platform b/f Anomalous, I told him "I'll pull when I see the healer is ready. If you don't like that, sac up and tank."
He could only reply with "I can tank :/", which was met with a bunch of 'lol's from the rest of the group. He was quiet the rest of the run. :)

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Photo Credit: Chung Sung-Jun/Getty Images
Get in line, B.o.B. Almost everyone wants to have a little piece of this country music pie. In an interview with Today (not our NBC morning news show but a newspaper in Singapore), the rapper, singer, songwriter and producer said, "I want to produce a country album for a country singer. I feel like country music has a certain kind of pocket. It all sonically [comes together]. Are you ready to get satisfied sonically?" I'm assuming nearly all the country fans out there are already satisfied sonically. Otherwise, how would you explain how many of us exist? B.o.B. added that when he puts new music out, he wants people to embrace it. "I want them to really get inside and to really understand what type lifestyle I live. And understand that my music really is a lifestyle," he said. That I get. I just don't know how his lifestyle would translate into country songs. Plus, he also said he'd like to make an album of meditation music that people think is "dope." ("Dope" as in cool. Not a drug reference.) If you ask me, he should apply that approach to the country project if he does one. Make it dope, and maybe we'll listen.

'So, let's say you have killed the first four bosses of Icecrown Citadel, and you then join a raid that has defeated the first four encounters, as well as Festergut and Rotface. The dialog that displays upon entering Icecrown Citadel will show that the raid has defeated 6 of 12 encounters. If you help them defeat Professor Putricide, then you would be marked as having defeated not only Professor Putricide for the week, but also Festergut and Rotface.'
So you would be saved to the first bosses if you were to zone in to just help kill Putricide and were successful at downing him.

Checking in on This Ex-Lehman Hedge Fund's Favorite Equities
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Managed by the former head of Global Trading Strategies for Lehman Brothers, Realm Partners was started in 2009 by Robert Millard with $650 million. Before leaving Lehman as managing director in 2007, a year before Lehman filed for bankruptcy, Millard was given the highest pay package at the firm with $51.3 million, versus the $40 million paid to CEO Dick Fuld. Unfortunately, more than half of that was awarded as Lehman stock, which became virtually worthless after the bankruptcy filing. But the amount was clearly a vote of confidence that Lehman had in the skill that Millard possessed as head of principal trading.
We already know that it has paid off in the past to track top-tier fund managers, and it's worth asking: has Millard translated that skill into being a fund manager? Let's take a look at the top five stock picks for Millard and his firm, the $1.1 billion Realm Partners, to see what he thinks are the best equities to own.
An interesting choice for No. 1
At the top of the list is TW Telecom (NASDAQ: TWTC) with 476,992 shares, which comprises 11% of Realm's total 13F portfolio. TW Telecom was added to the portfolio during the first quarter of 2012 and has been increased by 44% since then. The metrics for TW Telecom are lousy—a price-to-book of 3.7x and a price-to-earnings of 54x—but the company has been able to reduce the percentage of sales it dedicates to costs, which improved its bottom line in the fourth quarter of 2012 by 33%. Since the start of the year, shares of TW Telecom have gone up a modest 2%.
The best of the rest
At number two is Nexen (NYSE: NXY). The Canadian oil and gas company was recently acquired by China's CNOOC Ltd for $27.50 in cash. Before the acquisition by CNOOC was announced, Nexen was trading at $16-$17 per share. Since Millard bought Nexen during the third quarter of 2012, he has most likely profited somewhere around $4 million from his 400,000 share-position.
Third in this top five is Walgreen (NYSE: WAG). Walgreen stock is up 30% this year and recently hit a new 52-week high of $49.63. So what's driving its strong performance? Walgreen recently reported second quarter 2013 earnings of $0.96 per share versus $0.78 for the same period a year ago, and 2012 earnings were up 10% from 2011. But looking forward, Walgreen faces some hurdles in the pharmacy provider market with the recent consolidation within the sector from CVS/Caremark, Express Scripts/Medco and SXC Health Solutions/Catalyst Health. In addition, the introduction of more generics caused same-store pharmacy sales to drop 3.4% in March and could continue to be felt for the remainder of the year.
At number four is General Motors (NYSE: GM). The stock has put in an anemic performance this year, up only 0.8% since the first of the year despite a 3.6% increase in sales for the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period last year. Although sales of the Chevrolet brand were still rather anemic (+1%), the gain came amid a lingering economic slump in Europe. GM is trying to beef up demand for Chevrolet in Europe to offset waning demand in the US. In China, GM has plans to open four more plants over the next three years, expanding its current sales in China from 2.8 million in 2012 to 5 million per year, focusing on SUVs and luxury cars. GM also plans to increase exports to China from 30,000 to 100,000 per year by 2015.
Finally, at number five is Sanofi SA (NYSE: SNY). With 3.3 million shares, Realm is the third largest holder of the French healthcare company among the 450 hedge funds we track, which is up 13% this year, recently hitting a new 52-week high of $54.48. Although Sanofi recently lost its patent protection for Eloxatin, Taxotere and Plavix, it has developed a new drug with Regeneron Pharmaceutical that could help lower cholesterol more effectively than the current statin drugs now on the market. Sanofi is also the manufacturer of Lantus, one of the most popular forms of insulin for the treatment of type-1 diabetes. Sanofi recently announced plans to build a $75 million plant in Vietnam to address growing health care demands in Asia.
Final thoughts
Millard's stock-picking pedigree is clearly unassailable given his reputation at Lehman. But we are unimpressed with the performances of the top five picks and do not see a great deal of upside potential in the majority of these five positions. Most of these companies have been plagued by lackluster consumer demand and poor economic conditions. We would not be at all surprised to see many of these positions scaled back with the release of the Q1 13F filing; continue to check back at Insider Monkey for updates on the portfolio.

Judge slams critics of Texas school prayer ruling
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A federal judge blasted by Newt Gingrich and other conservatives for his ruling that prohibited prayer at a Texas high school graduation is firing back in accepting a settlement to the case.
U.S. District Judge Fred Biery today admonished those who "demagogued this case for their own political goals." He then added, "You should be ashamed of yourselves."
Biery did not mention anyone by name in his court order. Yet one target appeared to be Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who condemned the judge's decision last summer to issue the prayer ban after an agnostic family filed a lawsuit.
Under the settlement, the Medina Valley Independent School District will not officially make prayer part of graduation ceremonies. The settlement doesn't prohibit student speakers from praying during their remarks.
prayer is a part of this christian nation....if you don't like it ...get out!
The judge was right. Separation of church and state. Period. No one has stopped anyone from praying anytime anywhere that I know of. You can pray to yourself anytime you want. When I was a student, I used to pray for snow days:)
Students in our schools need to learn reading, writing and math. They also need to learn accurate history -- like Thomas Jefferson, one of our founding fathers, supported the separation of church and state.
Got to say I agree with Toulousse. I go to church, where I say my prayers. I pray at home. But I don't believe people should be made to pray together at a public high school or any other public venue. The judge was right.
"Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law".
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr.
Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814

Ärkasime hommikul kell 12 kui olime kuskil paar tundi magada saanud ja lõbustasime ennast photobooth'is.
Mina kandsin vintage pits pluusi/endist bodi't, lillat isetehtud seelikut ning lipsudega kõrvarõngaid.
Yesterday was so much fun. I don't really remember what we did though. All I can recall is that we watched Bollywood movies and sang all those songs there by heart, we drank mojitos and watched 5 year old home videos. My god how awful! And rest is mind gap.
We woke up about 12 in the morning after we had had few hours of sleep and then spent time in the photobooth.
I wore a vintage lace shirt and a selfmade purple skirt, bow earrings and black self-modified bracelet.

when someone puts you at a low standard. don't believe it! prove that person wrong. show them that you are smarter, more athletic, neater or better than whatever it is they say you are. you are God's child and you can do whatever your hopes and desires are no matter who tries to shut your dream down! keep pushing do what you need to do and follow what your hearts desire is because God will give it to you.don't let anyone tell you that you can't do that something you love because of your grades, your size, your voice…. etc. because you can. God gave you that desire for a reason.
Atlanta, Georgia! dance dance dance. <3

hope for the future.

Knowledge Management (KM) is the process through which information is generated and shared with ITS staff when they respond to and resolve incidents. The information is also used by Problem Management and Change Management processes as well.
The KM process consists of the creation, review and maintenance of IT Service Management information, all of which is stored in the ITSM Knowledgebase.
Click on the image to zoom in, or download the printable version.
The major steps of the Knowledge Management process include:
The ITS Knowledge Management process in many ways underlies its counterpart Incident, Problem, and Change Management processes. Knowledge documents in ITSM contain helpful and sometimes critical information available to ITS users of these processes. A Knowledge document is created and assigned to its writer. The initial creator is identified as "author." The writer is the "assignee."
The Knowledge document content is composed, reviewed, and published. Depending on a group's internal process, this may be done by a single person or among group members.
A user may choose to review a Knowledge document at any time for content accuracy, completeness, and usability. This can take place at the time of document use but is outside the regular review cycle.
All documents have a review date. The Knowledge Management Coordinator will get the notification and assign the review to the appropriate group.
Although anyone may view the various reports, it is up to the Support Group Administrator to run and review them in order to report out to their time and leadership.
Learn more about the process in the Knowledge Management Detailed Flow Description.
The Knowledge Management Process Manager is responsible for designing the Knowledge Management process and defining process metrics for the organization.

Check out John Nichol's great article from the Nation yesterday on the split in the Republican party over Bush's reelection that — not surprisingly — the media has failed to expose.
Former Republican members of the U.S. House and Senate, governors, ambassadors, and aides to GOP Presidents Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan and George H. W. Bush are eager to endorse Democrat John Kerry's campaign.
"Many of the Republicans who are abandoning Bush express sorrow at what the Bush-Cheney administration and its allies in Congress have done to their party: 'The fact is that today's 'Republican' Party is one that I am totally unfamiliar with,' writes John Eisenhower. But the deeper motivation is summed up by former U.S. Senator Marlow Cook, a Kentucky Republican, who explained in a recent article for the Louisville Courier-Journal newspaper that, 'For me, as a Republican, I feel that when my party gives me a dangerous leader who flouts the truth, takes the country into an undeclared war and then adds a war on terrorism to it without debate by the Congress, we have a duty to rid ourselves of those who are taking our country on a perilous ride in the wrong direction. If we are indeed the party of Lincoln (I paraphrase his words), a president who deems to have the right to declare war at will without the consent of the Congress is a president who far exceeds his power under our Constitution. I will take John Kerry for four years to put our country on the right path.'"
It definitely means something when your own party is struggling to advocate your ass. It also definitely means something when you know some of the other party will be on your side at the polls tomorrow. Good shit!
Rebublicans Smartening Up?

First-Half Struggles Too Much To Overcome As Panthers Fall
Jan. 21, 2014
DAYTON, Ohio - Jerran Young scored 19 points and Wright State rode a big first half performance to a 73-57 win over the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Tuesday night at the Nutter Center.
The Raiders (13-9, 5-2 Horizon) built a 39-21 halftime lead and never let the Panthers (13-8, 3-4) get closer than nine points in the second half.
Milwaukee could not get its offense on track in the first half, as the Panthers shot just 25 percent from the field. UWM improved in the second 20 minutes, making 14-of-24 from the floor, but the Panthers could never get over the hump.
Kyle Kelm had 16 point and Jordan Aaron 15 for Milwaukee, which also got a strong, nine-point performance from Thierno Niang off the bench. The Panthers were slowed by foul trouble, as Matt Tiby, Malcolm Moore and J.J. Panoske sat much of the first half with two fouls. Moore eventually fouled out with nine minutes remaining, having only played eight minutes.
A.J. Pacher (12) and Cole Darling (11) were the other two Raiders in double figures.
"We got some guys in foul trouble. We went deep into our bench in the first half. Clearly our rotations were off. And we were playing a team defensively that is very disciplined and very sound," Milwaukee head coach Rob Jeter said. "That means we can't make a lot of mistakes, and we made way too many mistakes in that first half."
The Panthers returned to their inside-first game quickly in the second half, pounding it inside en route to making 13 of their 17 shots from inside the arc in the final 20 minutes. But the 18-point hole, against a team picked second in the league, in building they haven't won in since 2005, was too much to overcome.
"We played a much better second half. We got the ball inside. I thought we played a lot more determined, but we can't play 20 minutes of basketball in this league and think we're going to win a lot of games," Jeter said. "We're searching right now to get back to our identity and stick to that. We need our bench to step up and we need our starters to play smarter minutes. Tonight, I thought it was difficult from the jump."
The Raiders opened the game by scoring 10 of the first 11 points of the contest. Milwaukee recovered to pull within 12-6 on an Aaron three with 14:10 remaining in the half.
UWM was still within 16-11 following a Kelm three-point play but Wright State answered to take control of the game before halftime. A three-pointer by Reggie Arceneaux pushed the lead to 25-13 and a three by A.J. Pacher made it 28-14.
A three-pointer by Niang brought Milwaukee to within 30-19 but the Raiders finished the half on a 9-2 run to go into the locker room leading 39-21.
The Panthers opened the second half with a flurry, closing to within 41-28 on a Kelm basket and then to within 43-34 on a follow-up basket by Tiby.
The Raiders weren't going to let Milwaukee get any closer, though, answering with the next six seven points to restore a 16-point advantage. The Panthers were then able to cut the deficit to 10 points but could never get any closer than that.
Milwaukee now plays four of its next five games at home, starting with a Friday night contest against Detroit. The game tips off at 7 p.m. at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

What are some realistic and creative ways to reduce wealth inequality?
I am a a third year student completing a degree in Social Work in Hamilton, New Zealand. I am currently doing a paper on Social and Community Development where I have to consider a topic of interest and then form a plan based on a theoretical perspective to eliminate or reduce a social issue.
My chosen topic is: Then impact of wealth inequality on social cohesion within New Zealand.
I would love to hear some creative and realistic thoughts around reducing this social issue which is a rapidly increasing, world wide issue. If anyone is well versed around topics such as this, stating your political ideology/perspective/basis of your ideas would be a great help so that I am able to further research the good idea's!
The primary focus will be on reducing wealth inequality as by doing this, social cohesion will increase. Despite this, I do hope to develop a small scale plan to increase social cohesion as well to strengthen the assignment.
Thanks heaps in advance :)

Nisarg ShahMay 22 2013: I can think of two approaches: 1) Teach sciences to the poor and 2) Teach social sciences to the rich.
Poor will be able to earn and hopefully, rich would be able to understand their moral responsibilities towards society.
In addition, as someone has pointed out, if non-homogeneous distribution of money is not actually a problem, the approach I have suggested will have no impact on it as no monetary policy related changes are involved.

Swimming into the deeper parts of the ocean. The druid quest to gain seal form really unnerved me. To shorten the time I'd be down in the water, I looked up on Thot for exact coordinates of where I should find the required items. I do try to avoid as many swimming quests as I can, though I have done the couple in STV. Guess the water there is clear enough for my phobia.

DiMarzio D Activator Humbucker Set STD NK F-SP BRDGThe DiMarzio D Activator Humbucker Set contains one D Activator Neck standard spaced (neck) pickup, and one D Activator Bridge F-spaced (bridge) pickup. Easy to install, they'll bring a variety of powerful new tones to your guitar.DiMarzio took a close look at the most popular active neck and bridge humbuckers to see if they could capture all of the good qualities and eliminate the disadvantages: cold sound, limited dynamics, running out of headroom when played hard, and the need for batteries. The end results are the D Activator Neck and Bridge. They use coils tuned to specific frequencies. The purpose is to shift the resonant points of the pickups to the fundamentals and harmonics that you want to accentuate from the guitar, and they respond instantly to hard or light pick attack. The sound is powerful, clean, and open, with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight lows. The best way to describe the D Activator Neck pickup is that it is big, bright, and open sounding with surprising string - to - string balance. The D Activator Bridge has an enriched harmonic quality and the notes want to sing.Both the D Activator Neck and Bridge pickups were designed to eliminate the sterile edginess commonly associated with active pickups. The D Activator Bridge pickup is about 25% louder than the D Activator Neck. Developing both pickups as a set from the ground up, DiMarzio adjusted the volume levels on the pickups so they are balanced. That way when you switch from the neck to the bridge, you don't hear a drop in volume - also a frequent problem with active pickups. And they don't use batteries.D Activator NeckThere's a big difference between a pickup that sounds bright and one that sounds thin. A thin-sounding pickup will be brittle on the highest frets and empty-sounding in the mids and lows. The D Activator neck model doesn't do this — both the wound and plain strings remain tight and bright up the neck, and very well balanced. This allows the D Activator neck model to function well in both longer scale bolt-ons and shorter scale, set-neck guitars.D Activator BridgeAn interesting fact about the most popular active bridge pickups is that they aren't incredibly loud. Instead, they have a strong, focused attack that hits the amp very hard and makes them feel more powerful than they actually spec out to be. This is an important characteristic that DiMarzio needed to capture with the D Activator bridge pickup. They wanted to avoid the limiting effect that can occur with active pickups when they are played hard. This pickup is passive with a lot of headroom, and it responds quickly and accurately to changes in pick attack. A hard pick attack doesn't cause the signal to flatten out, and picking more softly or rolling the volume control down lets the sound clean up naturally.Like all passive pickups, D Activators require controls with a minimum value of 250K ohms. 500K is the standard all around value.

Awesome! I couldn't find yellowtail snapper so substituted tilapia and it turned out great. Used Chef Paul's blackening seasoning and fresh store bought mango salsa (which consisted of the same ingredients)...definitely a time saver and just as good. Served with coconut curry rice and black beans, makes a great tropical dish.

Delicious! I made my mango salsa fresh and found a blackened seasoning recipe online. I served with a salad and coconut jasmine rice. Very smooth fish. My boyfriend loved it too! Great dinner and very healthy too!
nicolej84 Posted: 08/30/11
Best fish dish I have ever made! Used Cajun seasoning in place of jerk. The salsa and fish flavors complement each other perfectly.

Blueant is making some headlines today with the introduction of two new products. First up is the T1 Bluetooth headset. It's their first headset to sport Wind Armour Technology, which is said to eliminate microphone wind noise up to 22mph. And with those kind of winds you'd have to expect some dust and debri, so Blueant has made the T1 extra tough and durable, enough so to ward of occasional dust and moisture. Some other features include multipoint connection, A2DP compatibility as well as caller announce and voice answer by saying "answer" or "ignore". The T1 will be available in stores this May for $80.
Next up is their Q1 Android application that works with their previously released Q1 headset. In short order it let's Q1 headset users listen to their text messages and also provides some quick links to pairing and connection guidance, support information and a direct link to BlueAnt Customer Service. The app is availabe for Q1 owners free of charge.

Mariner Series REEL SPECS
Mariner Series - The Mariner Series is virtually in a class by itself - the only reels designed specifically for deep sea trolling. The narrow spool design makes it easier to fish with lead core, wire, dacron and mono lines. Mariners have also proven themselves in the down-deep world of west coast rockcodding. From trolling for Canadian lake trout to jigging for big Pacific lingcod, Mariner does it deep. (1985 Penn Catalog)
49L: One of the first conventional reel series, the mariners proved their capabilities and many of them were available for a long time. Of the 4 models in the series, only the #49 model, which was also made for the first time before 1941, was still manufactured into 2006, albeit with new technologies. The first Penn 49's featured a molded, plastic spool, while today's Penn 49L features an aluminum spool and Penn's HT-100 drag. Interesting detail about the way reels were coded over the decades: In 1941 a left handed version of the Penn 49 was also available. This reel was given the same code as today's aluminum spool version, 49L.
249: The 249 was available for the shortest time of all, being manufactured before 1941 like the other mariners, this model was discontinued before the plastic spool got a chance to be replaced by a metal one. It was available in triple multiplying version, as well as in a double multiplying version, with modelnumber 249DM. Catalog #20 refers to this reel as the Penn Angler.
349 Models: In 1958 The Penn 349 appeared on the market in four different versions: the standard model, the higher speed model, both available with or without a convertible star drag. The standard model with convertible star drag was only available for a few years. In the late 70's the standard model was discontinued, followed by the high speed with convertible star drag in the mid 80's. In the late 80's the last remaining model became discontinued.

Update, 2:30PM PDT: Boeing confirms that Tuesday is the target day for 787-9 first flight, time TBD and subject to weather and other factors.
Update, 3:30pm PDT: Bombardier says 9:30 EDT Monday is the scheduled first flight for CSeries. Twitter follow is #CSeries
Original Post:
It looks like it will be a busy week in aviation news. Bombardier plans the first flight of the CSeries tomorrow, weather permitting (it looks good). Exact time hasn't been announced. Reuters reports Boeing plans the first flight of the 787-9 Tuesday, though we haven't seen notice from Boeing on this yet. And we're waiting any day for Lufthansa Airlines to announce its long-awaited wide-body order.
Lufthansa said to split order: Lufthansa Airlines reportedly will split its order for widebody airplanes between Boeing and Airbus, according to this Bloomberg report.
Embraer EJet improvements: Flight Global has this story about the improvements and another about production rates.
Air Force One: The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has a 42 slide photo display of Air Force Ones, past to present, that's quite interesting.
Update: "Small Airbus:" If you listen carefully, someone at the end of the video notes that the CSeries "looks like a small Airbus 320." We couldn't help but chuckle at this.

Timily's Recap - Part 1: leaving work/bachelorette party!
It begins...
So Friday was one of those crazy work days, in which I was at work until about 8:30 at night, with things going everywhere. My kids were performing in a parade, with my principal there, and lots of pressure all around. But - amazingly - things went extremely well. It just sort of, went off, and was great.
We rode the bus back to school, and went back into my classroom. Last year when we did this same parade, it was 9:30 before all of my kids got picked up. This year, I told parents, "we'll be home by 7:30," and the last kid was picked up by 7:45. They must have known I was getting married.
Two of my BMs were already at my apt., with (then still) FI, and so I drove home. I was elated. Actually, that was not even the word for it: it amost felt like more than just getting married, more than just being in love, more than work going well, more than anything else. Up until that night, I'd never felt so much happiness in my life. :)
I went home and FI was there, and my girls were on a Michael's run. :) Naturally. We ate fancy chocolates and drank champagne and I just swilled on how excited I was.
The next day, we had breakfast, and we went shopping. Had I mentioned that my shoes hadn't come in, like ever, and I needed a pair? Thankfully, my band parents had given me a $100 Macy's gift card the day before, so we put that to work. Across the room, I found my shoes - sort of a shiny nude color, thick heel, Mary Jane style, with a big bow on them (like my dress!). DONE. And they were only $45, discounted, and um, wow. :) I also found a perfect blue dress for the night, after I'd only been searching for one for, well, forever.
So then MOH comes in, rollicking from the airport. My place is a HUGE mess, full of wedding crafts, but at that point, plenty of our BFFs (three of my BMs) are there, and more are coming.
We waited downtstairs in the lobby, and I think even dipped into the champagne before the festivities actually started, as the girls started to load in. Once all 11 of us were off, we piled into the van that MOH had rented, were greeted with naughty silly bands, naughty shaped mints, all the likes. They got me a bridal fascinator with pink rhinestones on it, and it was rad. We had so much fun just on the drive down, it was terrific. Everyone went around the big ol' van mentioning how they knew me (my DH is also known as "Boca Tim", because he's from Boca Raton, and so my new name was/is "Mrs. Boca Tim").
We got to the hotel, which was awesome, and were late for the drag show dinner reservations we'd made, so no champagne toast in the lobby. Oh well!
We walked over, to the windiest day Miami Beach had seen in a very long time, and had tons of appetizers, drinks, and the likes ready for us. It was an outdoor table, we were right on one of the more famous South Beach strips, and it was a huge drag show going on. There were lots of gorgeous Miami gay dudes (which for me, seeing beautiful gay guys > strippers) and I got quizzed about my marriage by one of the hostess drag queens.
At some point, a few drinks in, our "bouncer", one of our GM and one of my very best friends Ryan came up and gave me a big hug. Our waitress bizarrely enough thought I was going to marry him (why oh why would you invite your almost husband to your b-party!?). He bought shots for everyone, and well, it went off the rails from there.
We did something for everyone that night, and a few girls trailed off to the hotel in pairs. Luckily we did not lose anyone that night, all 12 of us, and it was great. The next destination was the beach beach, where all of us girls in dresses got whipped around by wind & sand. One of my BMs lost her beloved earring in the sand, so she and another friend were looking with their cell phone flashlights for it in the whipping sand. Sheesh. As it turned out, the earring had fallen in her cleavage.
Later, we went to another latino tourist bar, then to an indie bar (with a pole conveniently placed in the corner of the second floor loft...near the balcony...hrm...), where we also had TIME TRAVEL, as it was daylight savings time! Then to a super super sketch Miami dive bar, where we danced to the Pixies, and then to sandwiches and tacos. Then back to the hotel. MOH and I were asleep in the cab on the way back.
Many more adventures, about which I cannot go into detail, occurred, but suffice to say, it was a way wild bachelorette! Super fun, super friends, all in all just wonderful times. <3
part II forthcoming...

The Firemouth Cichlid
September 2, 2013 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Aquariums, Featured Pets, Freshwater fish
Animal-World's Featured Pet for this week is: The Firemouth Cichlid!
Are you a cichlid person? Some people like these fish so much that all they keep are cichlids. They may even keep several "cichlid tanks" around their home! Given that cichlids are so diverse in color, size, and temperament, this is completely understandable. The Firemouth Cichlid, in particular, is a popular one. Many people like them because of their beautiful colors and how easy they are to keep.
The Firemouth Cichlid Thorichthys meeki, is a great beginner cichlid. It is one of the easiest cichlids to care for and anyone can start out keeping them. A big reason these guys are easy to keep is because they readily adapting to most environments. Their major draw is the bright red coloring, which occurs on their underside and up through their throat area. Other attributes of these attractive fish are being small (for cichlids) and having relatively fun personalities. They often do well in community aquariums as long as they are kept with other Firemouth Cichlids and fish of the same size and temperament as themselves. You only have to worry about them becoming more aggressive than usual during breeding times.
About the Firemouth Cichlid
Central America is the native country of these cichlids. More specifically, they inhabit the countries of Mexico, Honduras, Belize, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. In the wild, the Firemouth Cichlid thrives in slow moving rivers and ponds. They usually stay closer to the bottom of the water where it is muddy and vegetation is easily accessible.
Feeding these cichlids is easy. They will eat almost any type of food offered to them! This includes, flakes, pellets, live foods, and fresh foods. Offering a variety of foods weekly is a good way to make sure they are receiving optimum nutrition. You will want to give them pellets or flakes every day and then add in some fresh cucumber and spinach as well. Live blood worms and brine shrimp are excellent treats but should be offered more sparingly.
Aquarium Care for the Firemouth Cichlid
Caring for the aquarium is no more difficult than for a typical tropical aquarium. As I mentioned earlier, Firemouth Cichlids are hardy fish and can adapt to wide range of aquarium conditions. However, regular maintenance is still needed to ensure their health! Most importantly, regular water changes are needed. About 20% of the water should be replaced every week. The gravel should also be siphoned out. These two cleaning activities get rid of decomposing organic matter and help limit the build-up of nitrates and phosphates.
A 30 gallon tank is the minimum recommended size for two Firemouth Cichlids. If you want a community cichlid tank though, you will need a much larger aquarium. A general rule is one inch of fish for every gallon of water. Equip the aquarium with a good filter and water movement. Cichlids appreciate plenty of rocks, plants and wood to hide amongst. Fine sand is a good substrate for the bottom because these fish love to burrow! They don't need any special lighting requirements and the temperature can range from 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
Diseases to Watch Out for With the Firemouth Cichlid
A common problem among tropical fish, including the Firemouth Cichlid, is ich. Many fish become infected with ich, usually when feeling stressed. The good thing is that ich can't tolerate higher temperatures, but these cichlids can! So it can be easier to treat the Firemouth Cichlid for ich by simply increasing the aquarium temperature up to around 86 degrees for a few days. Other tropical fish diseases can also plague these cichlids. These include fungal infections, bacterial infections, and parasitic infections. If your cichlid has a disease check this Aquarium Fish Diseases and Treatments guide for a thorough description of most illnesses and their cures!
Do you keep a community cichlid tank? What is your favorite thing about keeping cichlids?

A New Arrival on Animal-World: The Daffodil Cichlid
March 6, 2013 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Aquariums, Freshwater fish
Daffodil Cichlid
"So you need a reliable algae cleaner? Look no further than me! I can get the job done!"
The Daffodil Cichlid is a hardy and awesome looking Tanganyika Cichlids!
The Daffodil Cichlid Neolamprologus pulcher (previously Lamprologus pulcher) has many good qualities that people look for when keeping fish. They are African Cichlids from Lake Tanganyika and are very hardy fish. They are beautiful and graceful looking. Their coloring includes a light tan body and a yellowish fins with blue tips. The tail is lyre shaped and all the fins extend into flowing long filaments. They have blue eyes with two crescent shapes right behind them. Other names this cichlid are known by are the Daffodil Princess, the Daffodil II, and the Princess of Zambia.
The Daffodil Cichlid looks extremely similar to the Fairy Cichlid Neolamprologus brichardi, which is a close relative. The main difference is that the Fairy Cichlid has a black stripe running between its eye and gill with a yellow spot above it. The Fairy Cichlid fins are also more gray than the Daffodil Cichlid. The Daffodil Cichlid has more yellowish fins and has the crescent shapes mentioned above.
These cichlids often swim in schools and it is quite beautiful when you see a school moving through the water. Aside from it's beautiful appearance, these are great cichlids for both beginners and advanced keepers. They adapt readily to new environments and are somewhat easy to care for. The most important consideration is to make sure they have a large enough aquarium and have appropriate companions. Daffodil cichlids eat many different kinds of foods and aren't too picky about their water conditions. They do like to hide and so providing plenty of rocks with a sand substrate is a good idea… Read More

As Steve Schwarz, president of Thompson, Ohio-based Cornerstones Cement Products Inc., tried to expand his cast stone and architectural precast business for both large, commercial projects and upscale residences, he has learned that even a thorough product knowledge and hands-on training weren't enough.
Although Schwarz was very familiar with the production end of the business and felt confident when it came to bidding on projects, Cornerstones was struggling for sales in 1996.
That's when Tom Scully, founder of the Training Center, an affiliate of Bainbridge, Ohio-based Sandler Sales Institute, stepped in. The center specializes in sales, management, and customer-service training. It offers group sessions, lectures, role-playing, one-on-one counseling, and more to companies in Cleveland and throughout northeast Ohio.
The skills Schwarz has acquired through The Training Center have helped increase sales from $110,000 to $1.6 million since 1996. He found that improving basic communication skills not only boosts sales dollars but also the entire management process.
Schwarz came to understand that a contractual relationship with no bonding and rapport is a weak business relationship. He has learned that quality, service, and reliability are as important as fair, competitive pricing.
Cornerstone's staff has increased from 6 to 35 and covers a 350-mile radius that includes Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

Japanese Tree Peony
This is truly a stunning plant that puts on an incredible show for a brief moment and then it is gone until next year. This year the blooms were pretty for about two days. Something always happens to fade their loveliness - they are really sensitive to wind and rain. I forget where I bought mine but I have it planted in a terrible spot for viewing, right in the middle of a border with larger shrubs, but it seems to be happy where it is. I've always heard that they dislike transplanting so I've left it alone. I've had this plant for over 10 years and it is barely 2 feet tall but every year there are more blooms and they seem to be more dramatic with each passing year although this could just be the time of bloom - most plants are just waking up when the tree peony blooms appear (late March) and the bright red flowers are a sight to behold for a color deprived gardener emerging from the winter doldrums. I don't know the name of the cultivar although I wish I did. It blooms much earlier than the regular peonies, which don't start until May.

Oh, I am so jealous. I would love to grow peonies, but it is just too hot here. Even though the bloom did not last long, it was beautiful.

Wow, they're blooming already in Alabama? Mine hasn't even yawned and stretched to wake up yet. Gives me something to look forward to. Yours is lovely!

Tree Peonies are one of my favorites! I have 6 different ones. My oldest is a yellow that's almost 3 ft tall and about 10 years old. But my favorite is a giant pale pink with blooms almost a ft across.

Mine has never bloomed. I finally moved it to a new spot in the fall thinking that might help. We'll see.

Hi Phillip, what a gorgeous blossom. Ten years old and only two feet? Could it be a dwarf variety, my white one is at least four feet but the red one that will open fully today is about the two feet height, but is a younger plant. Yours with the double petals is a stunning specimen!

Jan and Philip, I think gardeners are always wanting to grow things that are not meant for their zone. I know I do.
Jodi, actually it bloomed weeks ago. I'm just now getting around to posting it.
Wayne, for some reason I couldn't get your URL to work. I'm looking forward to seeing your peonies.
Robin, good luck and don't give up!
Frances, it could be. I have no recollection of the name or where I got it.

Lovely & luscious! I can't wait for mine - it's got buds. I saw a photo in a book of market umbrellas used to protect Tree Peony blossoms. It seemed sort of silly, but if I lived in the South, I'd probably get one. (I have been known to put a rain umbrella over my plant temporarily to protect it from a thunderstorm.)

Georgeous, absolutely gorgeous. I tried growing some from one of those cut rate mail order nurseries but all the bare root plants were shriveled failures. I finally bought some potted white ones which I like very much but I see I should buy a red and a yellow and a purple and a.... Thanks for a preview of what will arrive soon for us northerners.
BTW, have you tried growing them from seed? Our plants produced a lot of seed but I understand they are notoriously fickle as to growing conditions and have yet to give it a shot.

Phillip, your garden is spectacular! I've just been catching up on the two post I've missed. I've been so very busy. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! I am just enchanted by it all.

This is my second attempt to post a comment, I think I tried yesterday when blogger was down. I love the tree peony and tried to grow it but all I got after the first year's one bloom are beautiful leaves...it's time to try to move it! That red bloom is fabulous.

Wow, that's a fabulous color, Phillip - my only IL tree peony was white and I loved it, but could sure get fond of this one!
Before we put the Illinois house up for sale I dug up my tree peony and brought it to a friend's house. That was in early March when everything was dormant but the soil was defrosted. Two years later it had more than 20 blooms in my friend's garden.

Very nice peony tree. I have a yellow one that has been in my garden for as long as I have had the garden which is 7 years now. Mine is also about 2 feet tall and wide. Last year I only had one bloom because of the unusally late frost we had killed the rest of the buds. But this year it looks like I will have a wonderful show of blooms. I too wish they lasted longer. But the shot show is worth the wait.

I had a deep violet tree peony in my garden in Oakland, California. it was glorious! I'm in Dallas now, and I'm told they'll do well here. These need less chilling than the herbacious peonies. One peony site I found has (no joke) the parchment Japanese umbrellas traditionally used to shelter the blooms. I've seen these in gardens in korea, and the effect is really quite interesting.
Once the blooms have faded 9still too soon for me) the umbrellas are stowed until the next year.

With new access to more terrain, wider runs, and expanded resort options, skiers at Tahoe South (http://www.TahoeSouth.com) can anticipate bountiful skiing, boarding, snowmobiling, xc-skiing, snowshoeing with arguably the best combination of beauty, recreation, dining, entertainment, gaming and nightlife in the county for winter.
Vail Resorts, Inc. recently announced that the Company has closed on its acquisition of Kirkwood Mountain Resort at Lake Tahoe, Calif., recognized by skiers and snowboarders as offering some of the best high alpine advanced terrain in North America. The transaction, which included the ski resort and undeveloped sites at the center of the base area, closed for total consideration of approximately $18.0 million. The seller retains a participation interest in the base area parcels and continues to own the remainder of the real estate development sites.
Heavenly Mountain Resort has several new mountain enhancements, including new and wider runs, new grooming machines, ground-breaking EpicMix technology and state-of-the-art learning tools for kids.
Heavenly added three new trails on the Nevada side of the mountain, accessed by the Galaxy Chairlift providing a haven for intermediate and lower-intermediate skiers and snowboarders.
Trails have been widened on the California side making Heavenly's 4800 acres ski even bigger, spreading people out and allowing more groomed surface for skiers and riders to enjoy.Heavenly added two new Prinoth Beast grooming machines, increasing the largest fleet of the most technologically advanced and efficient groomers on the market to four.
A new 2,200 square-foot ski school facility opened at the top of the Gondola will match the level of its Heavenly's world-class instructors. Kids can explore in the new adventure zone called Black Bear Hollow, a meandering, low angle skiing and riding trail with groomed whoop-de-doos, entry level progression park features, small rails, gentle jumps, and boxes designed to help youngsters improve.
The next generation of Vail Resorts' popular ski and snowboard application, EpicMix™ revolutionize how guests take and share photos when it launched this season. Upon request, Heavenly's photographers will take portrait and action photos and deliver to the guest's EpicMix account by scanning a guest's RF-enabled lift ticket or season pass. http://www.skiheavenly.com/
Sierra-at-Tahoe: A number of new features include Huckleberry Cat Tours, The Burton Riglet Park, additions to Blizzard Mountain and more value-added rates.
One current program that has generated unbelievable interest is being credited to the Jedi Force. The resort has been working with Burton Snowboards to expand snowboarding opportunities for young kids, manufacturing smaller gear and creating Learn To Ride programs that break the long held restrictions on snowboard lessons and rentals for kids, 3-6. This season the company called in a little help from the Force, enlisting some Jedi knights in the battle: Sierra at Tahoe's Burton Star Wars Experience has opened to smashing success. Grand opening video: http://www.youtube.com.
Thrill-seeking expert skiers and boarders will now be able to access the backcountry with the addition of the Huckleberry Canyon Cat tours. The guided tours shave time and energy getting to the canyon's edge to access cliff and cornice drops, rock chutes, open bowls, gladed runs and powder pillows.
The all-new Blizzard Mountain, a snow play and tubing area features two rope tow-accessible tubing lanes, an expanded snow play area, a bounce house, snack bar, fire pits, picnic tables and sledding. www.SierraAtTahoe.com or call (530) 659-7453.
Kirkwood Mountain Resort has invested over $6 million in capital improvements including upgraded on-slope accommodations at The Mountain Club: new two-bedroom condos converted from hotel suites, full workout room, spa and message treatment facilities. The improvement also comprises a newly re-designed, state of the art rental facility – one of Lake Tahoe's most complete demo centers and the new Monte lfe's restaurant.
Expedition: Kirkwood Outfitters, a new $1 million facility, provides special clinics, private guides, backcountry awareness, classroom/conference center, high end retail, demo gear and is the hub for leaning about and exploring the backcountry.
For non-skiers South Shore also provides a variety of activities from scenic cruises to sleigh rides, helicopter tours, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and snowmobiling.
Zephyr Cove Snowmobile Center operates from late November until mid-April, featuring lake views at 9,000 feet. Lake Tahoe Adventures offers unguided snowmobile rentals for seasoned riders into the heart of Tahoe's forest lands to the top of the mountain ridge as well as guided off-the-trail tours for less-experienced adventure seekers. Both locations feature moonlight snowmobile tours along with ride and dine options.
The winter months feature helicopter tours; horse-drawn sleigh rides with Borges Sleigh Rides; dog sled rides; boat cruises on the Tahoe Queen and M.S. Dixie II; and ice skating at the Heavenly Village or indoors at the City of South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena.
Snowshoe and cross country trails abound Hope Valley, Fallen Leaf Lake and Camp Richardson's 35 kilometers of groomed trails through dense trees and snow-covered beaches.
A variety of nightclubs, bars and lounges tempt visitors into the wee hours at Harrah's and Harveys, MontBleu, Horizon and Lakeside Inn. Tahoe South is not the ubiquitous ski town. Sometimes it's big, loud, flashy and a little bit crazy with 24-hours, parties, gaming, special events and top-notch entertainment begs visitors and local to stay up late then do all over again the next day. (Sure, one can also relax, but work hard, play hard comes natural in South Shore.)
A sixth casino, Dotty's is opening spring/summer 2012 in Stateline along with Brewjangles, a bar and restaurant and a CVS Drug Store. Dotty's features slots and has 70 locations in the U.S., this location is 6,500 sq.-ft.

When most people think of a do it yourself move, they picture being responsible for not only loading and loading all their belongings, but also the harrowing drive with a rental truck. In recent years, the growing popularity and increased availability of self service mover options has given consumers another way to handle a move themselves. A self service mover takes care of the transportation of your belongings for you. Like when you do a do it yourself move with a rental truck, you are responsible for packing, loading and unloading your belongings. But with a self service mover, you do not have to do any driving. Another big advantage is that you have more flexibility than you would with a rental truck.
A self service mover will deliver a portable storage container to your driveway, curb or parking lot. It will be weather tight and secure. The portable storage containers available from your self service mover come in various sizes to fit the needs of your move. The containers are easy to pack, because they are low to the ground and do not have any unusual spaces to accommodate wheel wells or cabs. They have tie downs and built in clothing racks to make securing things easy. You do not have to rush to load and unload your portable storage containers in one day. A popular rental contract with a self service mover is a month. That means you do not have to break your back loading and unloading all at once. The self service mover will pick up your storage container when you are ready and deliver it to your new home. And unlike when you rent a truck, it is extremely easy to combine temporary storage with a self service mover. Your portable storage container can be stored in a security monitored and climate controlled storage facility just the way you packed it. There is no need to unload everything, just to load it back up when you are ready to move into your new home. When you are ready to receive your portable storage container, it will be delivered to your new home. When it is empty, it will be picked up and taken away on a day you schedule.
The options available with a self service mover have changed the face of do it yourself moves. You can still save tremendous cost when compared to a full service mover, yet you do not have to shoulder the responsibility and time constraints that come with renting a moving truck.
