Blendtec Total Blender - White BlendTecThere are two choices in my mind, either buy a Blendtec or just buy a cheap blender. Only the blendtec has the wide pitcher with a 4 inch blade - - Two oranges, a pear, handful of wallnuts, cup of dry oats, ginger root, some yogurt and a fistful of power greens like kale or chard. Stuff it in the blender. Put the lid on and hit the whole foods cycle and walk away.

PLAYERS: Kemba Walker
TEAMS: Charlotte Hornets
TEAMS: Charlotte Hornets
Kemba Walker has a lot of doubters due to his size and position. Many think at best he can be an Iverson, but not as good of a scorer, others just dog on him for his size. I am not going to sit here and tell you that he is going to grow or that the physical attributes will change. What I do know is that Kemba Walker is a warrior. He has a knack for making big plays when they matter most. He has the "it" factor. He is the type of player that we all know. The one to take over and be the hero when the team needs him most. Kemba is cold blooded. The Bobcats have a winning record (momentarily) for the first time since god knows when and they have won three straight, due to the marvelous play of their young point guard.

Managers are communicated through - 'Sensitive' comms
Hi guys,
As always enjoying the podcasts and I have listened with interest to the casts on communications. I would like to explore further your comments around communicating sensitive information.
Firstly I will say that I am 100% in agreement with your view - my issue is that being a 'middle' manager is how do I handle the situation where my peers and more importantly my senior managers do not share my approach to pass on the sensitive info. My concern here is that in a company where blame culture and fear are endemic I could be viewed as a maverick and worse still a 'poor' performer when it comes to judgement.
If this is covered later in the casts please ignore ;-)
Can you be more specific?
What specifically are you wanting help with? What are you sharing that they're not, and/or what are they sharing that you're not?
Could you share 1-2 examples?
Fair challenge!
Hi Mark,
Thanks for taking the time to reply. One example I can think of is my company has recently been taken over and there is the enivitable choices around which IT systems will be the target systems going forward (I am a manager within the IT space). I am aware of the final decisions that have been made around which systems will be chosen and despite the fact that there will be no official communication around the 'successful' applications, this information is considered sensitive at the moment, and the direction I have been given is that this is not to be disclosed wider. My view is that people should be aware of the direction the organisation is taking as it will help them make informed choices in preparation for when the company contracts in the future. From a business perspective this seems to make little sense, as investment is continuing unabated on the legacy systems.
Kind regards,
I am curious, are the
I am curious, are the successful applications internally or externally developed? Are there any contracts with external vendors that support these applications in place?
I know where I work, that decisions regarding the support of legacy products is generally not openly communicated because there are outstanding contract and staffing negotiations going on to support these products. Once these staffing and contractual pieces put in place, then decisions are communicated.
I look forward to hearing Mark's response.

Hi Ted,

Dont share
Now that you've said that this particular area is both known to you and you have been directed not to share, DON'T SHARE.
Easy answer. What others do...is what others do. If they're sharing, they're behaving unprofessionally.
If it continues, and it's fairly clear that everyone knows (which is sadly often the case), then go back to those who gave you the guidance and let them know the cat's out of the bag (don't say who did so) and ask for updated guidance.
Many thanks
Much appreciated guidance - many thanks :)

A man who killed his girlfriend's 6-month-old baby girl is asking for mercy. He says he doesn't deserve the death penalty he's been handed. His reasoning? He didn't mean to kill her. He only meant to rape her. While the vast majority of us are going to read that sentence and not only want to vomit, but kill Steven with our bare hands, technically, the condemned man has a point. The death penalty is reserved for murder with intent. And this man -- as disgusting and horrid as his crime was -- claims killing the baby was never his intent.
So what was Steven Smith's intent? In 1998, Smith was at the apartment of his girlfriend, Kaysha Frye. Also in the house was Kaysha's 6-month-old daughter, Autumn.
Around 3 a.m., Kaysha said that Steven came into her bedroom where she was asleep and placed Autumn next to her. Kaysha could tell by the way her baby's head flopped around that there was something terribly wrong with her. She looked up and saw Steven naked. She screamed that Steven had killed her baby and ran to a neighbor's house for help.
Accounts differ as to exactly what happened that night that led to the girl's death, but one thing was clear. Steven had raped a 6-month-old girl and doesn't deny that. Experts think the poor little girl either died from being beaten, or died from suffocation from when he lay on top of her. In fact, that barbaric detail is part of Steven's clemency petition -- his lawyers say he didn't mean to kill her, "only" to rape her, and that she accidentally died in the process and he was too drunk to know that he was killing her.
Does this sound like an excuse -- and probably the worst excuse ever in history? Of course it does. But Ohio law is clear that someone can only be put to death when there is clear intent to kill. So Steven may have a case.
However, let's look at the big picture. Steven decided to perpetrate a horrific and heinous act against a helpless baby. When there is a bar of "moral repugnancy" with a crime, the technicalities of whether or not there was clear intent can be overlooked. In other words, if in the midst of a vicious, brutal, and horrific crime you happen to kill someone that you "only" meant to rape, torture, or bring to the brink of the death -- you can't just go, "Whoops, I didn't mean that!"
This little girl's last moments on this earth were moments no child should ever had had to endure. He showed her no mercy. He doesn't deserve any either.
Do you think there should always be clear intent to kill in death penalty cases?

Kill the mother fucker! Wait never mind.... Throw him in prison with the general public and have his ass beat and raped to death! I makes me sick that the protect pervs like him and put them in their own little area. Throw him with the one's that will beat the fuck out of him.
Put him to death and may he rot in hell.
He deserves a long painful death. This story really truly horrifies me, what suffering that poor innocent child endured :(
That man never would have made it to the police station, I would have beaten him to death with my bare hands long before help arrived.

Circo's classic storefront has lasted the ages on Knickerbocker Avenue. — Photo by Diego Cupolo
With its inoperative neon signs and crowded windows, Circo's Pastry Shop is a classic fixture of Knickerbocker, conspiring with the domino players and pizzerias to give the avenue that inimitable Brooklyn look. It can be taken in at a glance as a charming relic or bit of local color, but there's always more going on with these time-warp businesses. A shop doesn't just sit around forgotten like antique furniture: it requires constant dedication, adaptation, and customers. The changes Bushwick has undergone since 1945 have left very few businesses standing, and the continued operation of Circo's through these 65 years in this neighborhood may be one of the great feats in New York pastry history.
The bakery, larger on the inside yet still packed and stacked with goods, carries a dominant aroma of almonds overlaying much else. Display cases on three walls and shelves of cakes behind leave little room for customers or counter staff, though there is still space for a table of boxed butter cookies and a gelato window that will be opening up any day now for summer. Sal, the picture of the Brooklyn baker, comes out of the back to talk, excusing himself a few times when loud noises racket out from the functional side of the bakery. He and his brother are Bushwick bred, and he runs through the family and business history without a pause.
Sal's father Nino Pierdipino was hired by Signore Circo himself in 1966, just days after moving to Bushwick from Sicily. Pierdipino was only 18 but had already been working in a dolceria back home since he was 11. He and fellow baker Michele Vinci bought their workplace in 1973, running it as partners for 32 years. Now Pierdipino runs the bakery with his two sons Salvatore and Anthony.
The encyclopedic range of baked goods produced by Circo's today is the result of changing demand sharing shelf space with a commitment to tradition. None of the original Sicilian goods have been discontinued, so there's still the full range of filled-to-order cannoli, sfogliatelle, and anything else that can be stuffed with sweetened, delicately flavored ricotta. Most eye-catching is the Family Cannoli, a toaster-sized cannolo filled with four dozen ordinary cannoli. Opposite, an entire side of the shop is given over to butter cookies, a New York standard often maligned as dry and lifeless husks of Italian pastry past. Sal defends his wares, though: "a lot of bakeries will sell you plain cookies with different colored sprinkles and call it an assortment. Every one of ours has a different flavor or filling."
In the old days the corner pastry shop didn't just sell treats, it provided an essential social currency. "You went and had a big meal with your family every week," Sal explains, "and you had to take some cookies. Even if you were just meeting someone for coffee you had to show up with something." The surrounding blocks were full of Sicilians, who used to "walk the avenue" for all their needs, visiting a fruit stand here and a shoe shop there. As Sal tells it, though, they one by one outgrew the neighborhood and its railroad apartments and moved away.
We all have our ideas of the Bushwick of the '70s and '80s, but the Circo's experience presents something of an alternate history. The Italian stretch of Knickerbocker stood largely protected from the larger state of violent decay by a tightly knit community, protective shopkeepers who lived above their businesses, and a certain amount of mafia presence. "Above Troutman and below DeKalb were other stories entirely, but we didn't have problems," Sal insists. "The '80s were the good times. We had Reagan, there were factories running out here, employing our customers. The real hard times are now."
The challenges the pastry shop faces include lower funds in the collective neighborhood food budget, an ever-changing community with new patterns of consumption, and the proliferation of supermarkets. An Associated or C-Town cake may be a mockery of the fresh cakes Circo's produces (which even come filled with cannoli cream instead of frosting), but it's good enough for many birthday parties. Mother's Day sales, "which used to start at least two weeks before the day," brought in only a few customers on the day itself this year.
But the owner and his sons are adapting as always. "We gotta reach out, I can't just wait behind the counter for customers to walk in any more." Circo's now has a website with online mail orders and has begun wholesale deliveries to retailers all over the city, from gourmet shops to Key Foods, "just to get our name out there."
Meanwhile the bakers are also learning to serve the new communities. "We like all of our customers, however they pronounce our name," Sal promises "CHEER-co" is proper. Bushwick's Latinos have their own bakeries, but they started coming in and buying plain brioche, which the Sicilians traditionally serve alla crema. Circo's now keeps the plain sweet rolls in ready supply. The market for decorated cakes has also come to dominate business in the decade of Ace of Cakes, but most new customers like wide sheet cakes that make a better presentation than the traditional layered towers, so the bakers have learned to provide these.
The mail order deliveries, on the other hand, mostly go to one-time neighbors looking for a taste of home. This week, packages are on their way to Texas and Florida. Other former Bushwick residents drop in when visiting the Old Neighborhood from Long Island. Many ask the brothers, incredulous, "you're still living here?" Sal's typical response is, "do you have a bakery on your street corner out there?"

Fillmore and Western
Feel like some train-sweet history and a sweetly frightening ride? The Fillmore & Western can fill that autumn longing with its Headless Horseman rides and Pumpkin Liners.
AUTUMN ON THE RAILS: The Golden State is home to many fine and picturesque historic trains, trains that toot-toot, or whatever sounds you prefer -- throughout the year. But October gets downright atmospheric where our older engines are concerned. That's because famous railrunners from Fort Bragg to Irvine stock the pumpkin patch and invite characters like the Headless Horseman or various scarecrows and ghouls to come around and merrily menace the proceedings. One of the tried-and-true terror trains -- but not *too* terror-y -- is the Fillmore & Western of Fillmore, California. Yep, its dramatic leanings come October may very well be from the fact that the Fillmore & Western trains have a way of showing up in a lot of big movies, but we think that the people behind the long-running line have a true flair for fun and know how to give that fun a seasonal spin. There are two Halloween trains just ahead, so cuddle up to a loved one and prepare for...
THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN: The Family Dinner Train'll chugga-chugga on five nights in October: The 5th, 11th, 19th, 26th, and 27th. Your train makes for "Ichabog" -- oh yes it does -- and you'll dine on the way, on foodstuffs like bbqu tri-tip and chicken, plus fixings. Once you reach your destination, a hayride begins and the search for the H.H. himself. Spooky times, friends, spooky times. Here's a pdf to give you prices and chills.
THE PUMPKINLINER: If you like your October a wee bit eerie but not haunted by a certain gentleman in search of his head, this is your ride. The liner heads out on weekend days during the month, twice a day, to a patch brimming with gourds and other touches of fall. There's a BBQ food booth, too, in case you're looking to nosh before the ride back to Fillmore. We recommend for a really fine autumn Saturday, when the family wants to get out but can't land on what to do. It's pumpkin-y, historic, and camera-ready. No surprise, given that you'll be riding one of the famous "Movie Trains" of the Fillmore & Western.

NJIT Research Offers New Perspective on Port Security
October 12, 2004
Researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) are putting a 21st century spin on a 19th century technology to make the nation's ports and coastal waters safer. Airships — known today mainly for advertising flyovers at football games — are the core of a new coastal surveillance system in development for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) of the U.S. Department of Defense. But the new models will bear little resemblance to their predecessors. These High Altitude Stratospheric Airships (HASAs) will be unmanned, stationary platforms 14 to 16 miles above the ground. At 500 feet long and 150 feet in diameter with a volume of 5 million cubic feet, the HASAs will be 25 times the size of a Goodyear blimp. >>

No True Church? No True Church History.
One of the criticisms of Orthodoxy's understanding of its own history (not to mention, Roman Catholicism's) is that there really is no unbroken Christian tradition of anything at all, that Church history is really just about multiple movements, doctrines and practices that cannot coherently be traced back to the Apostles. This is essentially one version of the historiography of the anti-ecclesiologists. If there is no true Church, then there certainly cannot be any true tradition of continuity.
The above is the first paragraph of a post I published today on the Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy weblog, entitled "No True Scotsman does Church History Polemics." It deals with one of the approaches to Church history taken by those who not believe in one, true Church (what I call the "anti-ecclesiology"), simply denying what those who lived in the centuries prior believed about their Church, that it is the unbroken continuation of the very Church of the Apostles.
I hope you like it.
Orthodoxy at the Emmys
Not that I watch awards shows more than perhaps once every five years or so (and I didn't see this one, either), but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is the first time that Orthodox Christian monastic enclave Mount Athos was mentioned in an Emmy speech. This is Jonathan Jackson winning his fifth Emmy.
Readers may recall my interview with Mr. Jackson shortly before he and his family were baptized into the Orthodox Church earlier this year.
I know that some may greet this sort of thing with skepticism, especially since fame is not exactly conducive to salvation. The value of these kinds of moments, though, is that Orthodoxy is making its way into the public square.
Of course, this can be done badly, and fame can be a temptation in at least two ways: The first is the more obvious, and that is that fame can destroy humility. I'm not sure that many Orthodox people would therefore argue that acting, politics, sports, writing, broadcasting and almost anything which puts one's work into the general stream of the culture should all be professions avoided by Orthodox Christians. (Some would, I'm sure.) I talked about the intersection of Hollywood acting with genuine faith and its problems for humility with Mr. Jackson in my interview with him. That, for me, was one of the more fascinating parts of the talk.
The second temptation that fame gives for the Orthodox Christian is like unto the first, but moves in a different vector, and that is to cheapen the faith by turning it into a selling point or an exotic accessory for the media personality. That can be done, and I think it's probably happening in countries where most people are at least nominally Orthodox Christians. (Think, for instance, about the accusations Russian politicians get when they are visibly photographed in church.) But there is also a way publicly to witness to the Orthodox faith without cheapening it, even if that witness is sometimes only a hint. You may not agree, but I think the above video is a good example of this more genuine approach.
I honestly wonder (and I don't say this in some sort of romantic way) how many folks watched Mr. Jackson's speech and asked themselves who the monks of Mount Athos are and what it means that they pray for the salvation of the world. And perhaps a handful of them googled them, and perhaps a smaller handful started to read about their faith.
It's possible.
Update: As I imagined could happen, this post got a spike in hits over the past few days, mainly from people searching for some combination of "Jonathan Jackson" and "Orthodox" or "religion." It seems he got a few people wondering.
Granola Robots
…we are supposed to act with great deference to natural rhythms and patterns when it comes to nature "out there," but extend—by government fiat, if necessary—the greatest possible technological control over human reproductive rhythms and patterns. We should learn to live with and in nature out there, but conquer nature in here. To what can one attribute this fundamental contradiction?
Peter J. Deneen, "Forward" Into a Sterile Future" (emphasis in original)
This fascinating piece from today's First Things column by Patrick J. Deneen (whose work I'm used to seeing at Front Porch Republic) highlights something I've also commented on in some of my pieces on ecology, that left-environmentalism is ultimately a misanthropic philosophy. But it also points out that the true aim of the combination of the contraception/environmentalism culture is really just unbridled indulgence. Human desire is to be limited by nothing at all, not even human nature. The dark thread connecting these two philosophies together is human sterility, which will "liberate" both man and nature from our fellow man.
One of the things that I believe Orthodoxy has to offer the culture is what we might term a "consistent green ethic," in which all of nature—including mankind—is held in reverence as having the potential to be a vessel for the divine presence. With this attitude toward man and the rest of nature, violence becomes an impossibility.
Who's not a Christian?
I've got a new post up at Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy that continues our series on ecclesiology. This one is entitled Who's not a Christian? It examines the question of how different Christian communions see each other's legitimacy.
Why can't God love me the way I am?
One of the perhaps most pressing theological questions of our time and place is answered beautifully in this post from Jim John Marks:
The question is not "why can't God love me the way I am", the question is "why can't I love God the way I am".
And it is the pursuit of the answer to that question which opens the door to a discussion about why our behavior, and our doctrine, matters. It ends the false conversation around whether or not specific behavior or doctrine is necessary to be "good enough" and so undercuts the contemporary appeals to relativism. The conversation then becomes about what the specifics of a relationship to God look like and why.
The whole post is so good that I really wish I'd written it. So go read it.
A Firm Foothold
I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again. —Frodo Baggins
I happened upon this quotation again yesterday evening, while I was reading my daughter The Lord of the Rings. It seems a dauntingly long tome to read to a five-year-old, but of course we have years, if need be. She's also already listened to the whole of The Hobbit and liked what she heard and wanted to hear more about hobbits. So of course I could not resist. Naturally she will not remember everything or understand all the details this time around, but that doesn't particularly matter. So it goes with all of the good tales for any of us, including, I think, the Book itself.
As someone who is in some sense homeless (though not houseless), having lived now in twenty-two separate dwellings across fifteen towns, six states and one unincorporated territory, these words from Frodo in anticipation of his great Quest always make me a bit sad. Much of Tolkien's work is about a sense of loss, of remembering things that never will return, and when Frodo speaks these words to Gandalf, he has no idea yet how much he will lose, that he will indeed lose the Shire for himself, even while he saves it for others.
The sadness that I feel is not quite Frodo's sadness, though, because there is no geographic place that I have left behind and can return to or at least hope for while I am in my wanderings. And while I do intend to spend the rest of my days here in Emmaus, I think that it is too late for me to have a home. Though I am not old, I am too old for that. I've done it backwards from Frodo—I have tried to find a home after my wandering rather than embarked upon my wandering from a home already found and already loved.
My point here is not really about me, though. My life is what God has permitted it to be, even if I've muddled it up here and there, and I am grateful for what I have received. No, the point is about that "firm foothold" that Frodo mentions. For him, it is the Shire, and he carries memories of the Shire throughout the Quest to destroy evil. I do not have a Shire of my own, not in the sense that there is some specific place I can place my mind's feet to gain that firm foothold.
But even though some of us are homeless in this life, I think that we nonetheless have the possibility for such a firm foothold, for a memory of beauty and homeliness (to use homely in its British sense, roughly homey in American English, though not so rustic). I hope I can say this without sounding like a romantic, but for me that firm foothold has become the worship of the Church, most especially in its Byzantine iteration, with which I was first imprinted in Orthodoxy. It is not quite the same as having a home in the earthier sense—a sense I encourage all to develop as best they can, even in such a homeless state as I find myself—but there is certainly a firm foothold to be had there, a power and glory and sense of belonging that can be carried along in any place of wandering, any struggle, any peril, as we pursue our own great Quest.
There are many instances throughout the history of the Church in which the saints, those people who were most infused with God's presence here on earth, did something peculiar as they faced imprisonment, torture and even death—they sang hymns. I cannot help but think that their experiences in worshiping the one True God in His Body the Church became for them the firm foothold that made their wandering bearable. And when faced with the gravest of circumstances, they called to mind that power and energy, and they brought it forth again in an act of anamnesis (a term usually referred to the invocational memory that brings Christ's passion and death into the here and now as the Eucharist). While Frodo could only engage in mneia (recall), we Christians have the possibility for anamnesis, bringing the Savior Whose salvation we remember into the very present by means of collective invocational memory.
As we do that, the orcs and Uruk-hai and evil wizards and the Ringwraiths and even the Enemy himself can be borne rightly, with patience and even with love and with joy. And in so doing, like Frodo, we can also destroy evil and loosen its hold on our hearts.
The One True Church and the Partisans of Anti-Ecclesiology
The first of our ecclesiology posts is now up at the new Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy weblog. I wrote this one, and it's essentially a sort of meditation on what it means to believe in the teachings of your own church and how that cannot help but affect one's relations with other communions.

IDSA NW Junior Show – A Peek and Up and Coming DesignersJune 24th, 2011
Carbon had the great pleasure to host this year's IDSA NW Junior Show. Junior class students from the University of Washington (Seattle), Western Washington University (Bellingham), and Emily Carr University of Art + Design (Vancouver, BC) quickly transformed our lobby and conference rooms into a gallery showcasing their work. By the time guests arrived, our studio was filled with a wide range of thoughtful and innovative solutions from these promising young designers.
University of Washington
The work showcased by UW students included an array of beautiful and inventive lamps (above), ranging from "1/2 lamp" designed to sit flat against a wall, and an elegant lamp shaped out of from bent plywood.
Modular Elements (left) was a series geometric form studies, each exploring how a single 3D shape could be combined and arranged with identical pieces.
A centerpiece of the Western Washington University work was "eight x 8″ (above top), a project centered on shipping containers. Rather than repurposing current shipping containers—an idea that has been explored extensively—the students sought to completely redesign shipping containers in order to more readily have a second life. By so doing they were able to create a container concept that can easily be transformed into housing, medical facilities or other structures after shipping.
The WWS work also included several environmentally sensitive projects, including Bag Dish, a dish made out of compressed plastic bags, COntainer, a container made from spent CO2 cartridges, and the above projects which create vases out of old wooden buoys and baskets out of bike chains.
Projects from Emily Carr students included a birthing chair for couples, life vest explorations, and Laundrobag (in right of top image), which allows travelers to do laundry while on the go.
The Specs Handtool concept was created to support the creativity of those who have limited hand reach due to congenital deformation of the upper limbs. It's shown (above left) being used by a tattoo artist to stretch the subject's skin.
With interchangeable tips for a variety of tasks, Specs offers a simple alternative to prosthetic arms for people who wish to accomplish specific tasks.
One of multiple lamps in the Emily Carr gallery, the wooden lamp above evokes a bit of native Canadian heritage.

002 An offer she can't refuse5 Reviews
Mandy stuttered and tried to calm her rapidly beating heart. Pete Wentz was actually standing
in front of her. She blinked a couple times.
"I err. umm... Hi" She felt her face turn a delicate shade of pink and looked down.
Pete smiled and patted her arm gently. OMG He just touched her.
"So what's your favorite song?" He sraised his eyebrows and smiled.
She looked back up and regained some of her lost composture.
"I uh.. really like Tell That Mick" She didn't bother saying the whole song title as it
was a long one and she would mosst likely fuck it up anyway.
He smiled and glanced around the store. He tapped a finger on his cheek.
"So do you have tickets to our concert tonight" He glanced at Mandy, holding her blue eyes
with his gorgeous hazel ones. She frowned and picked as her vest absentmindedly.
"No, they were sold out." She sisghed, she hasd really wanted to go but she had gotton home too
late to get tickets. Pete smiled and poked her in the arm.
The concert was tonight at a small venue downtown. Only about 500 people got to go. Pete Smiled and flicked his bags out of his eyes.
"Well, now you are. A Backstage pass and a ticket await you at Willcall. What's your name?"
Mandy's mouth dropped open. Pete had no idea why he was doing this. The girl had intregued him and now he was drawn to her. It also helped that she was fairly attractive.
"Thank you!" She hugged Pete before she could think but let go quickly.
"My..uh.. name's Mandy..Mandy Stone." She blushed and Pete grinned. The nsame suited her. He smiled again and jumped as his pants started to vibrate. He removed his sidekick from his pocket and quickly read the message.
"I've got to go, I'll see you tonight".
He gave a salute and walked out to his car. Mandy settled int oher seat and placed a hand over her heart. 'Pete Wentz just talked to me. He gave me a backstage pass to a sold out concert. I think I'm dreaming' She pinched herself to make sure. Her heart was racing at two million miles an hour.
Her shift ended and she rushed home. SHe had to get ready!
She took a quick shower and started pawing through her closet. She setled on some faded jeans with holes in the knees and a plain black shirt. She slipped her faded red chucks onto her feet and shoved her cell and some money into the front pocket. Her long dirty blonde hair was pulled into a pony-tail. Dark Eyeliner sset off her crystal blue eyes. She was ready to rock.
She jumped into her beaten up Civic and drove to the venue. She was 45 minutes early. she picked up her pass and quickly went inside, the laminated card hanging from a long necklace around her neck. No one was really there yet, some super excited kids and merch guys hurrying around. She smiled to herself and sat at the bar, refusing any drinks. She didn't like to drink and plus she was underage. All of a sudden two hands covered her eyes. She jumped and reached her own hands to the pair covering her eyes.
"Guess who?" The male voice quipped.
She could reconize that voice anywhere.
"Hello Pete" She said it calmly and turned around and removed his hands, staring into a pair of honey colored eyes.
"You look great, you wanna meet the guys?" She blushed and nodded.
"Awsome" He took her by the hand and pulled her backstage and into a maze of hallways. He opened a door and revealed a room with a couple of couches and a table piled with food. She grinned as Patrick, Joe and Andy came into view. Patrick was staring into space, Joe was reading a magazine and Andy was idely tapping his drumsticks. Pete bounced into the room and they all looked up at her.
"Hey guys. This is Mandy, The girl I was telling you about."

A talk I did in January of this year "Dealing with Depression" hit home with many; whether you suffer its affects, or a family member or a friend does, everyone feels the pain of depression.
Notes from the Dealing with Depression Talk/Presentation
Symptoms of Depression
Some Causes of Depression
Situational depression (loss of job, death, relationship ends, etc.), meds, drug use, PMS, cancer, MS, Parkinson's Disease, RA, any limiting or degenerative disease, vitamin B-12 or B-6 deficiency, and heredity.
The longer a person stuffs his emotions and doesn't deal with the root cause of the depression, the harder and longer the later recovery will be, and at a very high cost—lost years. Every decision you make is based on your current way of thinking and mindset. Your life will take shape and direction from this starting point. You may not like where you are in two, five, or even ten years if you make decisions built on your current emotional state. These are all things to consider.
Depression is caused by many known factors, many at the same time. A counselor will help you to determine whether negative incidents led to the present situation, or a chemical imbalance is the culprit. Many times both are to blame. Allergies to chemicals, medications (some medications create nutrient deficiencies), or even foods can cause a depressed state. A safe area to start change is your diet. Eating a healthy, well-balanced, and well-varied diet is never a waste of time or effort. You may even feel improvement immediately.
The problem isn't only tooth decay and empty calories; sugar is like a drug in the bloodstream. The sugar high is all too short and followed by a crash that leaves you lower than when you started. It's a false energy boost. Sugars can be addictive, making depression worse because of the struggle to overcome the need to have more of it, and the inevitable increased intake of sugars and starches.
Simple carbohydrates (such as pasta, snack chips, cakes, candy, and even breads) break down quickly in the digestive system and rush into the bloodstream, where the brain is affected first. Remember that false energy boost? After your energy and emotions have been on a roller coaster ride, the offending "sugar" now imbalances mineral levels (especially calcium-which also could contribute to insomnia), dissolves B vitamins (which are especially necessary for nerve health), depresses the immune system, exhausts the pancreas, and contributes to weight gain. It also plays a negative role in diabetes, hypoglycemia, heart disease, cholesterol levels, nearsightedness, and indigestion.
Nutrient deficiencies throw the body out of balance. The body's chief role is to survive and seek balance. Each day humans are met with an onslaught of toxins, radiation, processed and refined foods (virtually devoid of nutrition), chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, viruses, bacteria, and so on. Some are greeted in the air we breathe, water we drink, and from out-gases in our buildings (homes included), but many are eaten by way of the standard American diet (S.A.D.); such disruptions to health imbalance us. Simple changes (over time) in our way of eating can relieve, and even reverse many health concerns.
A short list of foods high in fiber, EFAs (essential fatty acids), vitamins & minerals, and enzymes (notably for brain health):
Brown rice, wheat germ, tofu, tempeh, beans, almonds, sunflower & pumpkin seeds, walnuts (particularly for prevention of dementia and Alzheimer's disease), sea vegetables (nori, kelp, etc.), oranges (and other citrus), apples, and sprouts.
A fresh salad of raw veggies (baby spinach, red peppers, onions, carrots, cucumbers, seeds, sprouts, fresh herbs) and an outrageous dressing added daily is a great start to any healthy beginning. Soy yogurt withwheat germ and fresh fruit makes a satisfying breakfast. Snacks of seeds and nuts (not salted & roasted— raw only), or fresh fruit are a better alternative than dangerous packaged snacks.
Half the brain's weight is essential fatty acid. A low-fat diet, or an over-processed one, is lacking EFAs.
Enzymes are necessary for every function of the body. They are replenished by eating fresh foods. Cooked (and heated foods) are dead. The enzymes are lost, the first to die when cooking food. The secret is to eat fresh, raw fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
NOTE: Food coloring and preservatives are known carcinogens (cancer-causing). They also may contribute to frequent headaches and mood swings (as well as other maladies).
- Water is an important nutrient to the body. Six to eight glasses of pure water daily are necessary for proper hydration, waste removal, and organ function.
- Sunlight contributes to a healthy mind and body. At least fifteen minutes a day is necessary for the body to synthesize vitamin D (used with vitamin A to utilize calcium).
- Exercise promotes fluid movement and drainage in the lymphatic and elimination system, oxygenates the blood, sparks the digestive system, curbs the appetite, and releases endorphins (happy hormones)—among other things.
- Yoga, T'ai Chi, Karate, and Pilates are forms of exercise that truly serve the participant. They offer more than simple exercise. They have time-tested benefits of relaxation, discipline, peace, and calmness.
- Hypnotherapy, biofeedback, and acupuncture offer additional methods of relaxation. Learning deep relaxation has helped some people to overcome chronic depression, in conjunction with lifestyle changes.
- Adequate sleep is crucial to overall good health. Eight hours a night allows your body to not only rest, but to heal. Your body heals when you sleep! Depression can make sleeping a challenge and lack of sleep can worsen depression.
A list of foods to avoid (negative effects on mood and overall health):
A list of supplements that are rich in enzymes, EFAs, amino acids (protein), vitamins, and minerals:
- Blue-green algae
- Chlorella and spirulina
- Barley, wheat, and alfalfa (grasses)
- Royal Jelly— (from bees-not vegan) a powerhouse of B vitamins, the eight essential amino acids, and more.
- Probiotics— beneficial microorganisms –necessary to intestinal health for proper nutrient assimilation and elimination of wastes. Also, needed for manufacturing a few B vitamins.
- Fish oil—Omega-3 fatty acid is an important nutrient to the body but especially the brain (helpful in depression and assisting anti-depressants to do their jobs better). Fish oil is the better form of Omega-3 (compared to flax seed oil) for depression.
Toxic Colon = Toxic Brain
Highly refined and processed foods (white flour, pastas, etc.) form a type of sludge in the colon. When fiber (whole foods, vegetables, grains, beans) is absent from the diet, or insufficient, the wastes are not moved through the colon, and the elimination passage narrows. Animal products also "gunk" up the colon. Foods that are left behind putrefy (causing a noxious odor when passed as gas), and then petrify (forming desiccated pebbles). Nutrients are unable to be assimilated because of these obstructions. Increased nutrients will not help, as they will not be properly absorbed.
Lifestyle choices that benefit mental health:Exercise, sunlight, fresh air, proper diet, adequate hydration, laughter, love, interdependent relationships, spiritual peace and practice, friendships that encourage and support, enjoyable work and interests, doing for others (service), smiling, joint projects or tasks with others, uplifting music, involvement in movements or ministries that matter to you or to someone you care about, playing/petting animals, visiting nursing homes, singing, writing/journaling, art (painting, drawing,carving), playing/learning an instrument, crossword puzzles, game night with people who are a hoot, and anything else that makes you awesome!
- Bach's Rescue Remedy-especially good to calm high anxiety, sullen mood, and aid in depression
- B-Complex Vitamins-nourish the nervous system and calm the body and mind; they also improve the efficacy of prescription anti-depressants.
SAMe (S-adenosy-L-methionine): Has the advantage of working morequickly than St John's wort. Use only the butanedisulfonate form in enteric-coated tablets, or in capsules. Try 400-1,600 mg a day on an empty stomach.
Fish oil: Recent preliminary studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil may be helpful in maintaining a healthy mind. I think that reasonable doses of fish-oil supplements (1,000 - 2,000 mg per day) might be useful in addressing mild depression. Fish oil is an excellent source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an essential fatty acid found in nerve and brain tissue.
I cannot stress the need for lifestyle change and the addition of counseling or group therapy enough! Keeping silent and being isolated will not improve your condition. Depression doesn't just disappear, or go away. You may find as you work through your depression that you discover many wonderful things about yourself.
The world is waiting…

Um, what?
Spell power affects dots while they are running, this change is almost two years old!
it is PERCENT buffs that must be active when the dot is cast. So shadowweaving must be at 5 when you cast the dot.
But straight SPELLPOWER buffs will affect every dot you have on the mob. So hitting a SP trinket will increase your dots already on the target.
The whole rotation for shadowpriests on shadowpriest.com and elitist jerks is based on this fact. I assume for warlocks they are aware of the same issues.

Well that applies to dots only of course, not direct damage spells which you were mainly focusing on. :P I read someone asking about a dot in the comments sorry

Another way could be to have 4 singers sing the lines various times

each time). If the singers were good enough they'd be able to change
their voice quality slightly at each take to mimic multiple people. Of
course you need 4 singers if you wanted a full SATB choir, probably just
a good baritone and dark soprano would suffice to have a mixed choir
effect for a monophonic or 2-voice line.

SPOKANE -- Some irritated passengers are now in Spokane after a very strange flight.
A Southwest flight left Oakland, California around 8:00 a.m. Thursday. Once they got to Spokane, the crew could not land. So they went to Seattle.
The plane landed in Seattle and then took off shortly after for another run to Spokane. This time, passengers say they could see the runway. But the plane didn't land and again went back to Seattle.
In Seattle, a more experienced crew took over the cockpit. They attempted for a third time to land in Spokane. At 5:00 p.m., nine hours later, the plane finally landed.
Southwest Airlines says it was a training and equipment problem. When planes land in Spokane, pilots have to use a new instrument system. But it is not installed on all planes. That is the reason the plane could land with the new crew because they knew how to use the new instrument system.
Spokane International Airport says the system is not that new. Southwest Airlines has had plenty of warning about this new instrumentation system.
During the flight delays, KREM 2 News received a few calls and emails from frustrated passengers. One person wrote, "I have been waiting on a flight that was supposed to be here at 11am from Oakland and its gone back to Seattle for the 3rd time. Now expected to come in at 4:02pm. ALL the other Airlines are getting in just fine."
