The last time I wrote in this spot, I was lamenting the fact that my eldest child was graduating from high school.
I was not ready for one of my children to be an adult and leave home. Funny thing though, whether I was ready or not, it has happened.
In 1998, I had a bad week.
Think your not good enough to make it to Heaven? Come hear the Good News about the Grace of God at Central Christian Church, corner of Second and Riggs.

* Cynthiana Democrat, Feb. 15, 1945 -- "On Monday, while at the Cynthiana Stockyards, John Wheeler had the bad luck of receiving gashes on the leg from the tusk of a vicious hog. He said the attack was so sudden and swift that it was over before he had a chance to defend himself. His wounds were dressed at Harrison Memorial Hospital and he returned home."
* Cynthiana News, Jan. 7, 1869 -- Herman Rohs is about to establish a large coal yard near Pleasant Street on the railroad in this city."

In a botanical sense, an herb is a plant that does not produce a woody stem and dies back to the ground each winter to a perennial root system. In the garden sense, herbs are plants that serve as a major source of seasonings in food preparation. In an even broader sense, herbs include plants that are also useful for scents in cosmetics or for medicinal purposes. Some of them are woody and outstep the definition of a herbaceous plant.

Summer splendor in the grass is being replaced by a fungus among us for some gardeners.
I have seen some weird stuff out in the pastures this last week, likely due to the heat and rain. Mostly people like to blame dead patches in the lawn on grubs, but often fungal diseases are the culprit and the weather and our own maintenance habits contribute to the problem.
Despite the advice that fall is better than spring when it comes to fertilization, many people still do it which causes problems this time of the year.

Manning Up or Wimping Out: Men Don't Exist to Serve Women's Desires
Helen Smith – Kay Hymowitz's new book wants the current generation of "child-men" to "man up." But maybe our society shouldn't have spent decades tearing them down.
I read Kay Hymowitz's new book, Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men into Boys, recently. First, the good points:
Hymowitz does acknowledge that women have made great strides in our society mainly due to advances in technology and the knowledge economy that gives better jobs to those with degrees, degrees that "take years." Hymowitz has a good chapter titled "The New Girl Order" in which she admits that Americans now like girls better than boys. She does a fair job of describing some of the biases against boys, though she does little to rectify them.
Now a couple of bad points:
Hymowitz talks to very few actual men for this book. If males are included, it is through a book or blog written by a woman or a chivalrous man. Or Hymowitz invokes a blog written by a male blogger such as "Roissy" to prove how "misogynist" these male bloggers are. However, her definition of "misogynist" seems to be any male who dares complain about a female. The book would have been better if Hymowitz had included more actual male voices, and if she had demonstrated a bit more psychological understanding of the male perspective. (But then, maybe that is a book I should write).
I do believe Hymowitz tried to be sensitive to the plight of today's men, but the book presents as being more concerned about how men fit into the world of women rather than how men actually feel themselves.
Hymowitz makes little or no mention of the discrimination going on in today's college culture against men. She sees men as a bunch of goofballs who just can't cut it in comparison to women. Hymowitz gives an example of how women work harder than men in college. Women, according to studies:
… contribute more to class discussion and have more frequent communication with faculty including discussions about career plans. … Overall, men are less engaged in college life.
She mentions the work of Richard Whitmire, author of Why Boys Fail, who reports that "men tend to be loners." One professor Hymowitz mentions says:
The men come into class with their backward baseball caps and the "word processor ate my homework" excuses. Meanwhile the women are checking their day planners and asking for recommendations to law school.
Another illustration of the wisdom of Lord Acton's maxim:Power does corrupt.
Favouritism based on gender is certainly a type of power-wielding. -I remember being excoriated by feminist friends because I answered: 'I believe in liberation for everyone; I don't support gender-based tyranny, no matter which gender is the tyrant,' when those friends asked me whether I stood for women's liberation. I felt as though I were a voice crying in the wilderness; I still feel that way…

The Wee Small Facts
December 23, 2010
James Kaplan, in Frank: The Voice, draws heavily on previously published biographies—especially Kitty Kelley's 1986 His Way, as well as the books on S
Stories for Boys
December 10, 2010
Despite the temptation, I'm not going to write about the new Spider-Man musical without seeing it. I just really, really, really do not want to pay several days' salary to watch three hours of staging stunts accompanied by rock show tunes by Bono and the Edge. As I recall, a critic once lost a lawsuit brought by David Soul, the beloved costar of Starsky and Hutch, for a critical review of a play starring Soul, which the writer said took place on a night the theater was dark.
Association, Transgression, and Martha Raye
December 03, 2010
A smart woman with good taste, a radio documentarian named Delaney Hall, had a sizable problem with the Maria Schneider concert that I gushed about in my last post. Delaney was one of several friends and students of mine who went to see Schneider at my urging, and Delaney found herself resisting the big-band instrumentation that Schneider employs, because it carries, for her, associations of Vegas lounges and schmaltz.
Giving Thanks for Maria Schneider
November 26, 2010
The first of two good reasons for raising glasses and ringing bells during the winter holiday season falls on Thanksgiving week, when Maria Schneider, the composer and conductor, brings her twenty-piece orchestra to the Jazz Standard for its annual residency. Schneider has been doing this for nine years now, and the occasion has become one of the most anticipated events of the New York jazz calendar, along with the Bad Plus's Christmas residency at the Village Vanguard just a few weeks later.
More Thoughts on Keef
November 19, 2010
I've gotten a few complaints from fellow Keefheads—note the inclusionary construction there—about the piece I posted a few weeks ago on Keith Richards's memoir, Life. The criticism has centered not on my text, but on the videos I chose to accompany it, because neither of the two clips shows Richards making music.
It's Good to Love the Banana
November 12, 2010
In music as well as politics, there is something marvelous in the human capacity to embrace bad ideas that jibe with one's personal experience or taste. I've been thinking about this since last weekend, when I attended a pair of concerts devoted to the music of my favorite composer, Billy Strayhorn, at Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC).
Moody's Mood
November 05, 2010
James Moody, the veteran jazz saxophinist, flutist, and sometime singer, is ill with cancer, and his wife Linda, who has acted as his manager for years, made public this week Moody's decision to have no further treatment.
Keith Richards's 'Life'
October 29, 2010
Keith Richards' essence as an artist, like dark matter elsewhere in the universe, is something we comprehend only by inference and comparison. Although we think of Richards as absolutely unique among rock stars, we tend to conceive of him and his music in relative terms. Compared to Mick Jagger, Richards's needy, flamboyant, beknighted partner in the Rolling Stones, Richards seems to be a model of masculine insolence as cool. Compared to the Beatles, those lovable moptops, Richards and the Stones embody rock stardom as a state of permanent bad-boyhood.
Sufjan Stevens's "The Age of Adz"
October 22, 2010
I like Sufjan Stevens more than I want to. The self-conscious contrarian in me tells me to resist him just for his status as an idol of Brooklyn hipsterdom. He's a pretentious white guy who plays the banjo, as well as half a dozen other instruments (including the oboe and the English horn). As such, he is beloved by the Williamsburg smarties, and he's the sort of artist who tends to gratify rock critics eager to validate their own pretentious white guyness. All that stuff is extra-musical, of course.
Esperanza Spalding Sings Blake
October 15, 2010
It's been a long time since the Battle of Hernani, I know, and it was a trumped up conflict over resolved issues even when it happened, in 1830. The romantics hardly come off as radical today. Still, they speak as ever to the lost teenager in us all, and I've found myself letting Blake make me feel all mushy and wonderstruck again, as I've listened to my favorite CD of the past couple of months: Esperanza Spalding's Chamber Music Society. Until a few weeks ago, when I watched her perform the songs from this album in concert, I had been impressed by Spalding but not moved.

No Guts, No Glory
The Way Sports SHOULD Be Reported
It's not easy being a sports star in Philly, just ask Donovan McNabb. Though he's the heart and soul of the Eagles squad, he's still endured the wrath of Philadelphia fans and their expectations.
Related posts:
Receive updates from No Guts, No Glory
McNabb is the only QB in the NFL that does so much with so little.The Eagles fans always complain about him not getting the job done,but look at what he has.Besides B.Westbrook and Desean Jackson,they have skill players that are journeymen.I think you are right about the fans missing him when he is gone,because Kevin Kolb is not the answer.
By no means is Kolb the answer, Philly will be a bottom feeder for a few years after McNabb leaves anyway.
I hope the Eagles do release McNabb so Dallas can pick him up.
Dallas? Finally gave up on Romo I see.
He just cost us 2 Super Bowls.

It is a bittersweet day for relatives of James Alexander Dewar.
The man who invented the Twinkie in 1930 passed away in 1985 after a successful career from his creamy creation.
His grandson, Bill Snyder had been tracking the Hostess labor standoff, feeling protective over the family Twinkie tie. Given the situation and a health conscious culture, he wasn't surprised by the Hostess announcement Friday morning.
"It's a business bottom-line. They've got to make money and they did. But it's not easy nowadays with the sugar and everything else in there," Snyder said.
But in this family, Twinkies have always been part of the diet.
James Dewar and his wife raised four children here in the Chicago area. His invention of a cream filled sponge cake fulfilled many dreams. While he came up with the blockbuster while working at the then Continental Baking Company in Schiller Park, the catchy name came to him later.
On a business trip to St. Louis, going to bakery he saw an ad for twinkle toes shoes, he thought "Twinkies!" something popped.
Snyder says it will be a sad day if the hostess company completely fades away, taking the Twinkie with it.
"I'm glad he's not here to see that day. This is part of American life for the past 60, 70 years. Good or bad, it's part of American life.

Bode Miller showed signs of bouncing back from his disappointing downhill result by leading the opening training session Tuesday for the super-combined.
While many contenders sat out, Miller sped down the shortened Rosa Khutor downhill course in one minute, 56.42 seconds.
Miller was a top contender for the downhill after some torrid training runs, but mistakes in the middle section of the course led to an eighth place finish.
Aleksander Aamodt Kilde of Norway finished second in Tuesday's training, 0.66 seconds behind, and Paul De La Cuesta of Spain was third, 0.82 behind.
Contenders Alexis Pinturault of France and Ted Ligety of the United States were fifth and 15th, respectively.
Morgan Pridy of Whistler, B.C., was 11th with a time of 1:59.26.
With two more training sessions before Friday's race, only 28 racers in the 56-man field started. Among those who didn't startwere downhill winner Matthias Mayer, Aksel Lund Svindal and Ivica Kostelic.
Joachim Puchner of Austria crashed but came away with only a few bruises.

The Chicago Blackhawks called up two players Friday including highly-touted prospect Teuvo Teravainen.
Jeremy Morin, who leads the Blackhawks' AHL affiliate Rockford IceHogs with 24 goals, was also called up by the team.
Morin has played in 15 games with the Blackhawks this season, scoring one goal and four assists. In 30 career NHL games the 22-year-old has four goals and six assists.
Teravainen meanwhile, led Jokerit of the Finnish Elite League with 44 points (nine goals and 35 assists) in 49 games this year. Chicago's first-round draft pick in 2012, was the leading scorer in this year's World Juniors with two goals and 15 points in helping Finland win a gold medal.
The moves come as the Blackhawks placed Patrick Kane on the long-term injury list after his knee injury suffered in Wednesday's 4-0 win against the St. Louis Blues.

Certification for professional medical technologists, laboratory technicians, physician office laboratory technicians and phlebotomy technicians
The primary purpose of the AAB Board of Registry is to identify, on a non-discriminatory basis, those individuals who meet the minimum requirements for certification as an:
These requirements do not discriminate against any individual or group of individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, or source of national origin.
Of the twelve states that require MTs and MLTs to pass a certifying or licensure examination, eleven recognize the AAB Board of Registry examinations:
- California - Nevada - Florida - North Dakota - Georgia - Rhode Island - Hawaii - Tennessee - Louisiana - West Virginia - Montana
[NOTE: The State of Florida now recognizes the AAB Board of Registrys Medical Technologist (MT) examinations in andrology, embryology and molecular diagnostics, in addition to the disciplines of Chemistry, Hematology, Immunology, Immunohematology, and Microbiology.]
IMPORTANT: Passing the AAB Board of Registrys examinations may not be the only requirement for licensure in these states. Individuals must also meet the states educational, training, experience, and continuing education requirements to qualify for state licensure. Check with the state's clinical laboratory personnel licensing agency to obtain information specific to that state's licensure requirements.
The AAB Board of Registry, since its inception in 1962, has championed the concept of a career ladder that includes alternate routes to formal academic degrees.
In doing so, the AAB Board of Registry places more importance on having the requisite knowledge and skills than on where or how the knowledge and skills are obtained.
Therefore, the AAB Board of Registry maintains alternate pathways for certification that permit individuals to qualify through a combination of formal education, training and experience.
The AAB Board of Registrys requirements for Medical Technologist (MT) are consistent with the CLIA requirements for individuals performing high complexity testing. Therefore, the AAB Board of Registry requires laboratory training that includes either of the following:
1. Completion of a clinical laboratory training program approved or accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES), the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS) (formerly CAHEA), or other accrediting agencies approved by HHS. (This includes individuals who have earned an associate degree from an accredited community college with a major in medical technology.) OR 2. At least three (3) months of documented laboratory training in each specialty in which the individual performs high complexity testing. (This training may be included int he 60 semester hours of college credit constituting the equivalent of an associate degree.)
Successful applicants lacking the required training are given a provisional certification. This provisional certification is continued until such time as the AAB Board of Registry receives written documentation attesting to the certificants successfully completing the training requirements.

Sign-up for a Coal Free Washington EventPosted by Tom Crisp on March 20, 2014 - 8:59pm
Coal is a dirty, dangerous and increasingly expensive fuel. In Washington, if you are a Puget Sound Energy (PSE) customer, you may be surprised that over one-third of your energy comes from coal. Right now, PSE has a momentous opportunity to invest in clean energy and create good jobs in Washington State by moving beyond coal.
Join us for an event highlighting a recent report that shows a coal-free Washington is clearly within our grasp. This plan is bolstered by an economic study that confirms there are more jobs with clean energy than fossil fuels. The transition off of dirty, dangerous and increasingly-expensive coal-based electricity to in-state clean energy will create thousands of new jobs for Washington.

It is also protected by the Northwest Energy & Conservation Council for its valuable fish and wildlife, many of which are on the Endangered Species List.
You can help protect the South Fork Skykomish River from the Sunset Falls dam proposed by Snohomish Public Utilities District (PUD). The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is taking comments on the PUD proposal.
Please read why the Sierra Club and our allies oppose a dam at Sunset Falls and follow the instructions below to submit your comments to FERC. Comments are being accepted through Sunday December 1st.
Tell the FDA: Genetically Modified Salmon Is Too RiskyPosted by Elisabeth Keating on November 27, 2013 - 8:36pm
The Food and Drug Administration is considering approving a genetically-engineered salmon.
Never before has a genetically-modified animal been approved for human consumption. And yet, the FDA's review has been insufficient, failing to consider broad environmental and public health risks from GMO salmon.
Sign the petition and tell the FDA: GMO salmon is too risky.
AquaBounty, the company that is producing the GM salmon says they won't be able to cross-breed, and yet their own data suggest that 5% of the eggs they produce and transport around the world may not be sterile. If released accidentally, these transgenic fish could severely endanger natural fish populations.
Conservationists Object to Proposed Idaho Panhandle Forest Plan RevisionsPosted by Elisabeth Keating on November 27, 2013 - 8:08pm
Agency plan lacks measurable standards, fails to acknowledge impacts on massive Superfund cleanup
Spokane: November 26, 2013 - Today, a coalition of conservation organizations and individuals filed a formal objection to the draft record of decision (ROD) to the revised Idaho Panhandle National Forest Plan. The group includes Alliance for the Wild Rockies, Sierra Club's Idaho Chapter and Upper Columbia River Group, Kootenai Environmental Alliance, Selkirk Conservation Alliance, Friends of the Clearwater, Paul Sieracki and Barry Rosenberg. The groups and individuals maintain the newly revised forest plan is not accountable to the public and short changes vitally important resources like water quality, fish and wildlife habitat, maintenance of ancient forest and old growth reserves, recommended wilderness, wilderness administration, and wildland values including recreation. The groups and individuals came together to address serious problems on the biologically important Idaho Panhandle National Forests.
Feisty Citizens Crowd Seattle's Oct. 23 Climate Action HearingPosted by Elisabeth Keating on October 24, 2013 - 3:01pm
"You can't make money off a dead planet." -- Whidbey Island resident
This and other equally pithy comments were presented to Governor Inslee's Climate Legislative Workgroup (CLEW) on October 23.
More than 650 Washingtonians gathered at Seattle's Bell Harbor Center on a foggy Wednesday night to give the CLEW panel their ideas for how Washington State can met its aggressive goals to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The 450-person room was standing room only, and was filled with a sea of yellow Sierra Club Beyond Coal shirts. Governor Inslee's Climate Legislative Executive Workgroup listened for 3 hours to public testimony on the need for strong action on climate. Each speaker was allocated two minutes to speak, and there was no ignoring the giant stopwatch projected before the podium.

Updating the Columbia River Treaty: An Opportunity to Restore Ecosystems and Protect WildlifePosted by Elisabeth Keating on September 22, 2013 - 10:55pm
On Friday September 20, the United States released its draft recommendations for updating the Columbia River Treaty. Established 50 years ago, the treaty created a framework for establishing and maintaining hydroelectric dams in the Upper Columbia River basin. Now the treaty is being updated to reflect 21st century priorities. In a win for environmental groups, the draft recommends:
- Restoring the Columbia River ecosystem
- Improving flood management to mitigate damage to salmon habitat and promote healthy fish populations
- Making adaptation and flexibility in the face of climate change a key priority
- Partnering with Canada on a new program to improve fish passage so that salmon and other migrating fish can reach their traditional Canadian spawning grounds.

You'll never look at hummingbirds the same again.
The Pentagon has poured millions of dollars into the development of tiny drones inspired by biology, each equipped with video and audio equipment that can record sights and sounds.
They could be used to spy, but also to locate people inside earthquake-crumpled buildings and detect hazardous chemical leaks.
The smaller, the better.
Besides the hummingbird, engineers in the growing unmanned aircraft industry are working on drones that look like insects and the helicopter-like maple leaf seed.
Researchers are even exploring ways to implant surveillance and other equipment into an insect as it is undergoing metamorphosis. They want to be able to control the creature.
The devices could end up being used by police officers and firefighters.
Their potential use outside of battle zones, however, is raising questions about privacy and the dangers of the winged creatures buzzing around in the same skies as aircraft.
For now, most of these devices are just inspiring awe.
With a 6.5-inch wing span, the remote-controlled bird weighs less than a AA battery and can fly at speeds of up to 11 mph, propelled only by the flapping of its two wings. A tiny video camera sits in its belly.
The bird can climb and descend vertically, fly sideways, forward and backward. It can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise.
Most of all it can hover and perch on a window ledge while it gathers intelligence, unbeknownst to the enemy.
"We were almost laughing out of being scared because we had signed up to do this," said Matt Keennon, senior project engineer of California's AeroVironment, which built the hummingbird.
The Pentagon asked them to develop a pocket-sized aircraft for surveillance and reconnaissance that mimicked biology. It could be anything, they said, from a dragonfly to a hummingbird.
Five years and $4 million later, the company has developed what it calls the world's first hummingbird spy plane.
"It was very daunting up front and remained that way for quite some time into the project," he said, after the drone blew by his head and landed on his hand during a media demonstration.
The toughest challenges were building a tiny vehicle that can fly for a prolonged period and be controlled or control itself.
AeroVironment has a history of developing such aircraft.
Over the decades, the Monrovia, Calif.-based company has developed everything from a flying mechanical reptile to a hydrogen-powered plane capable of flying in the stratosphere and surveying an area larger than Afghanistan at one glance.
It has become a leader in the hand-launched drone industry.
Troops fling a four-pound plane, called the Raven, into the air. They have come to rely on the real-time video it sends back, using it to locate roadside bombs or get a glimpse of what is happening over the next hill or around a corner.
The success of the hummingbird drone, however, "paves the way for a new generation of aircraft with the agility and appearance of small birds," said Todd Hylton of the Pentagon's research arm, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
These drones are not just birds.
Lockheed Martin has developed a fake maple leaf seed, or so-called whirly bird, loaded with navigation equipment and imaging sensors. The spy plane weighs .07 ounces.
On the far end of the research spectrum, DARPA is also exploring the possibility of implanting live insects during metamorphosis with video cameras or sensors and controlling them by applying electrical stimulation to their wings.
The idea is for the military to be able to send in a swarm of bugs loaded with spy gear.
The military is also eyeing other uses.
The drones could be sent in to search buildings in urban combat zones. Police are interested in using them, among other things, to detect a hazardous chemical leak. Firefighters could fling them out over a disaster to get better data, quickly.
It is hard to tell what, if anything, will make it out of the lab, but their emergence presents challenges and not just with physics.
What are the legal implications, especially with interest among police in using tiny drones for surveillance, and their potential to invade people's privacy, asks Peter W. Singer, author of the book, "Wired for War" about robotic warfare.
Singer said these questions will be increasingly discussed as robotics become a greater part of everyday life.
"It's the equivalent to the advent of the printing press, the computer, gun powder," he said. "It's that scale of change."

2 Responses to "It's a bird, no it's a plane, no it's a spy bird!"
The question is: Who are they going to be 'spying' on, surely not offshore terrorists? I checked the range of hummingbirds worldwide and couldn't find them in areas where them dad-gummed terrists hang out such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc. So it can only mean that these hummers will be in our U.S. neighborhoods soon.
1984 portrays helicopters buzzing windows looking for infractions against the state, but seemingly it will be surveillance drones modeled from creatures found in nature. As it's said for every measure there's a countermeasure. Since DARPA is going au naturel with their gimmicks then I'm thinking it appropriate that for countermeasures we the surveilled go natural too…no?
What's truly a shame is these 'gadget crazy' mattoids have even ruined it for the hummingbirds. Notice too that DARPA isn't working on the efficient extraction of oil from algae; but bullsh*t projects such as this.
Fill a hummingbird feeder with antifreeze which is naturally sweet, but deadly to electronics (corrosive) in the event you see a hummingbird visiting your window sill all too often. I'm sure they've engineered a fake/synthetic feeding habit into this microprocessor controlled insult to nature and freedom loving people anywhere for all time and places.
Carl Nemo **==
They've also developed spy drones as small as flying insects. Watch what you say at your next barbecue.
Of course they have to also say how beneficial these may be for poor victims of natural disasters. Spying on terrorists and saving lives! Yeah, right.

Chapter 43 Reviews
It's pretty much just Jame's thoughts..and probably some more explaining about things.
According to Molly, the experience from taking care of her grandma influenced her love of helping others. Thank God for that, I tell you. Without her, Damien and I would probably be dead right now, instead of on a bus; instead of sitting in a comfortable seat. Ok, so maybe these seats aren't that comfortable. But they feel nice.
I sort of got Damien back, a little. But me being me I couldn't really think of anything real good. This is pretty funny, though. I'll tell you why later. If I remember. Damien is actually sleeping right now. So I'm pretty much talking to myself. Or am I thinking to myself? Hm, well I don't see anyone looking at me funny, so it must be in my head.
What to do, what to do..maybe I'll just go use the bathroom? Yeah, that sounds like a plan.
I stood up and walked down the aisle to the toilet room and pulled down my pants.Holy shit! What's that on my - oh, never mind. It's just a - mole! Ah! No! Not on my precious mini-me! Oh...hehe it was just dirt. Wait, how did dirt get in my pants? I shall fine out - Ah! A cockroach!Girlie screech
Knock knock knock
"Ma'am, are you alright in there?" a man asked, tapping on the door. I sucked in a deep breath, zipped myself up, opened the door, and smiled at the man waiting outside. I cleared my throat.
"Yes. Thank you Sir, for asking," I said as deeply as I could. Then I hurried back to my seat, passing by Damien on the way.
I might as well mention it now, since its so funny. You know how in the back of most buses there's this like, long seat thing right next to the toilet room? That's where Damien is sleeping. What he probably doesn't know is that there are about three dirty diapers under it, and the padding smells like some chick bled all over it. Gross, right? Well eh, I couldn't think of anything else. And he's laying face down on it right this second. GAG.
Hey guys, sorry it was shorter than usual. I have to run, so I promise I'll make it up to you in the next chapter or so, Kay? Ooh and thankies for the comment C-Line!

You might have terrible shamans... I've actually two healed 25 man vault with another resto shaman.
Also 2 healed 10 man patchwerk with another resto shaman. Its really pretty simple - keep up earthshield on both tanks (thats 3000/5000 hp when it procs without casting anything), and just spam lesser healing wave.
When tidal wave kicks in (and it has a 100% chance to - if you have actually specced resto) healing wave and lesser healing wave are pretty fast actually. 30% haste is almost like having heroism up almost all the time.
Honestly watching other shamans in pugs - are pretty terrible. They don't drop proper totems for the pull or boss in question, they are terrible at keeping earthshield up on the correct target etc.

WRU accuse Scarlets of trying to sell North
ESPN Staff
March 31, 2013
George North is subject of an offer from Northampton Saints © Getty Images
The Welsh Rugby Union has accused the Scarlets of opening talks with French clubs over the transfer of George North without the player's knowledge as the row between the governing body and the regions grows.
The Wales winger, who contract expires at the end of next season, has been heavily linked with a move away from the Welsh region and recently spoke to Northampton Saints about a potential move to the Aviva Premiership. While his loss would hurt the Scarlets on the pitch, his absence from the wage bill would potentially boost their financial standing.
"Scarlets opened discussions to transfer the player with clubs outside the UK in 2012," said a WRU statement. "George refused to consider France but reluctantly conceded he would be prepared to move if Scarlets wished.
"North informed the WRU shortly after the Wales v Ireland RBS Six Nations international on 2 February, 2013 that he had then been told of the transfer proposal."
The WRU claims to have offered to discuss centrally contracting international players in August 2012. But it says they had "no meaningful response" from the regions, who they now believe have reached an agreement not to play centrally contracted players.
"The WRU revisited the issue of George North and agreed to consider assisting in a financial model to retain him in Wales with one of the four regions," the statement added. "In recent days the WRU has discovered that the regions signed an agreement which precludes any of them playing an individual who is centrally contracted to the Union. The WRU urges all four regions to abandon this stance and return to the negotiating table."
The WRU also say they want regions to "abandon the practice of selling Welsh-qualified senior players for profit before their contracts are concluded" and to inform each other when they consider selling or releasing any "elite, Welsh-qualified player".

Criner and the system try to adjust to a mistaken conviction

Ten years brings the Texas justice system to its senses. Roy Criner's free.
After ten years, prosecutors finally concede that Roy Criner is not guilty and should be free
He wouldn't eat it, so they did!
It doesn't matter that other courts and D.A.'s have cleared wrongly convicted inmates. Roy Criner's case is in Montgomery County, Texas.
The case against him died from lack of evidence. But Texas still plans to execute Odell Barnes.
The evidence points away from Roy Criner's guilt in a savage crime. But the state still has what counts most -- a conviction.

I'd had these awesome spoons gathering dust for three years or so, and finally found something awesome to use them for.
I drilled little holes into the ends and put little metal links through them, and arranged them onto multi-coloured yarn in various lengths.
I really love the outcome. It's a gorgeous necklace, but it does get a little tangled.

My husband has a thing for vanilla tarts. And vanilla slice. I can't say I've ever really been the biggest vanilla fan – unless it's in a custard. And it's rich… Mmm… has to be rich!! So – I decided to make some vanilla custard tarts – a good combo of what we both liked. And I have to say turned out really very well! The crust requires baking, but the inside doesn't – and it contains the deliciously yummy, nutritious and satiating cacao butter to give it that extra – well - something. Awesomeness may be the word. I know that doesn't sound overly modest but there you go.
For the pastry
65g blanched almond flour (doesn't need to be superfine)
1 egg
1/2 tsp baking soda
30g coconut flour, plus extra for rolling
50g coconut oil
50g coconut milk
1/2 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp raw organic honey
For the Vanilla Custard
150g cashews soaked ½ hour
50g melted cacao butter (melt it with seeds and ½ van pod)
2 tbsp dark maple syrup
105mL water
1/2 vanilla pod
Firstly, refer to my word on paleo pastry baking in this post here.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Begin with the pastry. Mix the dry ingredients together in a largish bowl, and the wet in a separate bowl, so they are thoroughly combined. Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, fold the wet into the dry until just combined. This should form a pastry that you can hold in your hands without them getting too sticky. If it's too dry, add a little coconut oil. Spread a little coconut flour onto a board and onto a rolling pin, and roll out pastry until 1/4 inch thick – or really as thin as you can make it – I think the thinner the better with these tarts! Using a scalloped cutter, cut 12 pieces of pastry and place into a baking tray that has 12 shallow "muffin" places. Place them in the oven and cook for 5-6 mins or until golden brown.
For the custard, scrape out the seeds from half the vanilla pod, and put seeds and pod in with the cacao butter and melt slowly over a double boiler. If using the thermomix, set the timer for 5 mins and the temp to 50 degrees, speed 1.
When the cacao is melted, remove the pods but leave the seeds. If using a Thermomix, add the rest of the custard ingredients and blend on 8 until thoroughly combined. Spoon the mixture into your pastry pieces, and refrigerate to set!… Makes 11-12 depending on pastry thickness. Enjoy – x.

Minotaur Books
How far would you go to avenge someone you love?
It's August, and Santa Barbara, California hasn't tasted a drop of rain for months when P.I. Jaymie Zarlin learns a popular high school athlete has drowned in a tank at the city aquarium. The police are calling Skye Rasmussen's death an accident, but his distraught parents, unconvinced, hire Jaymie to find out the truth.
Eager to prove she's up to the challenge of solving the case, Jaymie investigates and uncovers an array of suspects. But when information begins to surface about her own brother, who died three years ago in the downtown jail, Jaymie is torn between doing right by her clients and exposing the truth about a mystery that lies much closer to home.
Set in a seaside city splashed in sunshine and laced with poisonous secrets, Karen Keskinen's Black Current is a riveting story about the treacherous secrets we keep and the costly sacrifices we make - all to hold on to the people we love.
Chapter One
It was early, just past seven, and I was the first tenant to arrive at the bungalow court at 101 West Mission. I wheeled my bike over the curb and up the steps, glancing at the seagull-spattered plaque near the bottom of the board. JAYMIE ZARLIN, SANTA BARBARA INVESTIGATIONS—SUITE D. Yep, that was me.
A giant fern frond patted my cheek with dew as I pushed my way down the path. Next time I'd need to bring a machete. The courtyard was a jungle these days, the giant bird-of-paradise plants towering over the huddle of stucco offices. The landlord
Praise for Black Current
"Readers sad to see the end approach of Sue Grafton's novels about another perky California PI should investigate this series."
--Publishers Weekly
"Clever and complex, "Black Current" is an addictive read that surpasses even its fine predecessor, "Blood Orange." Complete with a cast of eccentrics – intrepid Jaymie is particularly fascinating – it confirms Keskinen's stature as a master of sun-splashed noir worthy of Sue Grafton."
--Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Keskinen juggles multiple plotlines skillfully and develops secondary characters...in this second entry in an appealing series."
"Exciting...Keskinen has created yet another well-crafted and fast-paced murder mystery with a strong, well-rounded protagonist. Let's hope we hear a lot more from Jaymie Zarlin."
--Santa Barbara News-Press
"Seethes with mystery and intrigue.... A beautiful, richly entertaining series."
--Gumshoe Review
"A sleeper... The story flows well and the characters live up to their billing. You can really feel the frustration of dealing with Skye's grandfather and understand his parents' grief and inability to accept a too easy explanation for the death of a promising young man."
Praise for Blood Orange
"Engaging...Refreshing...A multi-dimensional psychological mystery."
"Energetically lurid...Those looking for sensation will find it all."
"Promising... Definitely fits into the Sue Grafton mold."
—Library Journal
"A briskly told tale with escalating danger...A promising start to a likely series."
"An impressively twisted and unpredictable noir murder mystery...An entertaining and surprisingly authentic page-turning experience."
—Santa Barbara Independent
"An impressive debut with echoes of Sue Grafton and Ross Macdonald."
—Denise Hamilton, author of Damage Control

So Sweet! Guy Custom Designs Hobart N50 Mixer For His Baker Girlfriend
Aw, we like sweet stories, and this is a great one: the owner of this Hobart N50 mixer, Matt, wanted to turn it into an awesome gift for his girlfriend. She loves to bake and the couple love San Francisco, so those facts spun into this: a mixer that looks like a San Francisco-style cable car, complete with a gold roof and a working bell! More photos and more about the project below:
Hobart's designers (under the guise of Mixed Up Jake, their fictional character) did the custom design. Here were Matt's guidelines/instructions:
- San Francisco is the couple's dream city.
- They adore sourdough bread.
- Matt's girlfriend studies neuroscience and has brought a few rats home as pets.
- The couple's favorite movie Ratatouille brings it all together - "rats, cooking, and French 1920's style."
So the mixer was painted a classic deep-red base just like the Golden Gate, with detailed line work on the side like you'd find on classic cable cars. If you look closely you'll also see a few rats hiding along the sides!

Ah, love is in the air. :) What better thing to remind a couple of the sweetness of their relationship than a mixer.
I LOVE the little rats!
I'm curious about how this was done. The link doesn't say much more than what's here other than adding that the top is gold leaf. Looove the little chefs
Am I the only one who thought this whole story was a little confusing? Matt is the boyfriend and he went to Hobart's (team of designers) to get a custom mixer for his girlfriend. Hobart's team posts on a blog under the guise of (Mixed Up) Jake and they speak as if they are really some guy named Jake.
I initially thought Matt did this himself. I didn't realize he just paid a mixer company money to produce it. Awesome gift of course, but it took me a few reads to get.
To be honest, we were a little confused, too, at first! It's really Hobart's fictional "Jake" that makes it confusing, because "he" writes the blog as if he's the one doing everything, when it's really the company Hobart behind it. All that to say - the project itself is clever and sweet, regardless of how it was done.
I just looked up Hobarts. HOLY CRAP, are you guys aware of how much these things are?!
Ok I know I live differently then lots of apartment therapy readers. I live in the south. I work two jobs to pay for my VERY small one bedroom apartment for me an my dog. So I have embraced that I am not the the "normal" AT reader.
That being said $2000+ dollars for a mixer for someone who is an at home baker!!!!! That is such a waste of money! I know that AT you are just showing us what can be done but this is not what I come to AT to read. I come to read things that I can adapt to my life even if it is just a small item or portion of an idea due to my budget. This is not something that could be DIYd and is not within the reach of a majority of the population. Please remember that as editors you sometimes need to do a reality check of even if something is pretty from a design perspective when it is done in a manner that is so over the top it really moves from pretty into obscene. AT/Kitchen is not the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog it is a "Apartment" Therapy. Please remember your roots.
Hi I'm Matt.
yeah, same one.
I don't think the mixer is a waste. It's hand made in the usa, with a fully geared transmission, completely restored, and vintage from 1954 with a custom paint job. It's not only an NSF and UL listed commercial workhorse, it's a piece of art. that is a wonderful conversation piece.
It should never give us problems, and that's why I went with it.
As an electrical engineer, I understand the cost of engineering and genuine craftsmanship, and know that it comes at a cost. To me, it's worth it.
PS. we live in an apartment. so there. haha
I can understand what you are saying but from this reader's perspective I will disagree. Thank you for providing your prespective and I am glad that you and your girlfriend enjoy this conversation piece. My point which I think I addressed to the editor and not in your direction was that for a majority of readers this type of choice is well outside of what they could even think about considering. I believe we each have the right to make choices w/our own finances so I did not address it to you and really I believe that if you were to re-read my comment a majority of it was an editorial comment. Regarding you living in an apartment I won't even go there since I think you know that an apartment in San Francisco is VERY different then one in the rest of the country.
Hi Ellen,
girlfriend here. We actually live in Tampa which is about as different a real estate market as you can get from San Francisco, so I get the money/cost of living part. He works one job and I work two to cover the bills for the two of us, our rats and our dog so we don't have money to burn and certainly don't shop at Neiman Marcus.
If you're buying a mixer, my guess is you don't have several hundred dollars just lying around so you're going to end up saving up for it. He opted to save a little longer to get the one that will last us the longest. We bake A LOT of bread so it just didn't seem practical to buy a kitchenaid and run the risk of blowing the motor in a few months to a year, as has been the case with several friends. The paint job was the big surprise for me (and I do agree that that's the part which would put the price tag over the top). I know lots of people who are on their second or third kitchenaid and at somewhere between $400 and $1000 I think we did much better to spend the money the way we did. It's just like any other major appliance purchase, especially if you're one of those people who bakes anywhere from 2 to 12 loaves of bread in a week. Then again, I guess we aren't your average home bakers either... Even though everything I read on here isn't practical for me or for our home, it's still interesting to read and nice to have ideas for our next home :)
Courtney & Matt,
I seemed to have offended you and that was not my intent. As I said in my reply I really meant it as a check and balance from an editorial perspective so I tried to address a majority of my concerns to the editor. If you were offended please accept my apology. I do think AT/Kitchen sometimes does get a little to "high end" and by keeping the editors attached to their roots it can allow for everyone to enjoy the site.
I completly agree with your comment about keeping ideas for your next home and I do agree (my pinterest dream house is one of my boards with the most pins) as well and believe I said something similar in my reply. So I will go along with reading and even every once in awhile commenting. I understand like articles not all comments are for everyone but I still hold strongly to my feelings that it does not hurt to voice my comments constructively.
