With this in mind we started thinking about all of the cars that should… »
The shootout from Heat with a Buick Grand National
Michael Mann's Heat is a study in wonderfully pure action filmmaking with hints of influence from Japanese new wave yakuza directors like Suzuki and Shinoda, shot before Tarantino perfected the homage with Kill Bill. But did you know before that Mann made a simplified version of Heat for NBC? Worth it for the Grand… »

Organ Dedication Concert at North Ontario United Methodist Church
- Updated: March 14, 2012
The North Ontario United Methodist Church, 7200 Ontario Center Road, Ontario, NY is celebrating a new era in the music ministry of the church.
Wayne Skinner will on Saturday March 31, 2012 at 6 P.M. at the Church with a concert to dedicate our new Allen organ.
Mr. Skinner is a graduate of Boston Conservatory of Music. He began studying piano at age 7 and organ at age 15 with his grandmother who was a church organist and piano teacher. He has held organist and choir director positions in a number of churches since the age of 17 and has been involved in music education and piano and organ sales throughout his career. Mr. Skinner is a frequent performer in classical and theater organ programs and offers workshops for church organists. He presently manages the Allen Organ Division of Piano and Organ Center in Clay, NY, serves as Organist at Pitcher Hill Community Church in North Syracuse, NY, and is a member of the Executive Committee of the Syracuse Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.
An "act of God" in the form of a lightning strike destroyed the Church's old organ; another act of God replaced it with a superior instrument. The new organ is a Protégé Two Manual Classical L-226e custom built by the Allen Organ Company of Macungie, PA.
The public is cordially invited to attend this dedication concert and a reception with light refreshments following the concert. For more information please call the church office at (315) 524-9509

ANGLETON, Texas, June 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Benchmark Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: BHE), a leading integrated contract manufacturing provider, announced today that its Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company's outstanding common shares. This repurchase program is in addition to the current, active 2010 repurchase program in which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $100 million of the Company's outstanding common shares. Share repurchases under both programs may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or block transactions, at the discretion of the Company's management, and as market conditions warrant.

A Rule 10b5-1 plan would generally permit the Company to repurchase the shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so under certain securities laws. Purchases will be funded from available cash and may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Shares repurchased under the program will be retired.

Do You Always Need Something Green on Your Plate?
This restaurant shot, which we're guessing is at a classic Southern joint, proves our point. Wouldn't that plate look funny if, instead of collard greens, there was a scoop of corn? Or butternut squash? We think every dinner plate looks better with a pop of green somewhere.
Of course, we don't always succeed. We eat plenty of dinners comprised of brown, white, and orange food—especially this time of year, when we can't get enough Fall squash.
But we think of our food like a photograph or an outfit. Sometimes it just looks so much better when there's a pop of color, and with food, that pop is usually from a handful of peas or a bright, green salad on the side.
It's not just aesthetics, either. We feel better when we have a green vegetable on the plate. It just tastes more cleansing and fortifying than just eating carrots, squash, potatoes, or other non-green vegetables.
Right now, we're stuck on kale. We love it in stews (like this turkey chili) and lately we've been making a bit pot of simple, boiled kale that we add into pastas like this one. It's almost like a garnish, brightening everything up.
If we have sandwiches for dinner, we'll make kale chips on the side.
Is it just us? Do you need something green at every dinner? What's your go-to green dish?

Yesss I always have to have something green with my dinner. And, if I don't eat enough greens during the day I compulsively stick my head in a fridge a grab a handful of whatever green is in there to snack on - cooked or raw.
I feel like I've cheated if there's nothing green.... but that doesn't mean I always fix it
Actually, that plate would look more like the typical Southern fare I ate growing up with corn or mac n cheese instead of the greens, but we were always a starch-happy bunch. The one green thing we'd have were green beans that had been stewed forever with some bacon, so they were sort of a washed-out green.
Greens absolutely! Can't go a day without. I once visited relatives in Ohio. They live on french fries, mac 'n cheez, white bread, etc. After a few days I was ready to eat THEIR FRONT LAWN!!!
Having something green is always the goal, even if I do not always achieve it. Romaine salad, garlic oil spinach or steamed broccoli are my usual go-to greens. But if I am really short on time to shop or cook, it is frozen peas every time.
Always. It doesn't feel right if there at least isn't a side salad or some sort of greenery.
I always include veggies (and really starchy ones don't count), but not necessarily greens. It might be red peppers or yellow summer squash if it isn't green.
I'm the exact same way, I definitely prefer to have something green! My mom and grandmother kind of drilled this into me growing up... "You've got to have a colorful plate!"
I don't need the color green, per se but I do like some sort of brightly colored vegetable. It helps keep me in 'balance', so to speak.
mmmhmm! Turbodog is a good beer, too!
oh my ... I feel like the bad one in the group. I know I SHOULD eat vegetables and loads of them, however my body would be perfectly happy (and perfectly round ....) subsisting on starch and protein. Getting my greens in is an effort that I do not enjoy. So when I happen to run out of veg to make with my dinner? It's a quiet triumph of not feeling guilty that I didn't eat any!
mmmmm starch and protein
Definitely. It's not a good idea to regularly have plates that are mostly neutral. Plus, colorful veggies just look more energizing than a big lump of mashed potatoes or rice.
I always chop some chives or sprinkle a little parsley over my dish if it doesn't already have green.
Not always. For one, I nearly got banned from the kitchen for insisting something green go in every meal. Or left to eat the entire pot of spinach myself. So now I figure as long as there's some veggies in the other dishes and/or I had tons of veggies earlier in the day, why force it.
For another reason, I have a tendency to eat WAY, WAY too many greens. Days like last Sunday when my lunch consisted of a giant bowl of broccoli and then a salad because that's what was in the house. By dinner, there was no way anything green and fiber-filled was going to sit well.
I agree that a pop of fresh color is a must, but it doesn't have to be green. Some red or yellow peppers, or a tomato with freshly ground black pepper, would do just as well.
Yep, I was brought up to always have greens on the plate and its one family thing I always try to keep to. You should definitely have a couple of veggies there for sure.
Yes... I feel weird if there's no greens, or as my squeeze calls them: the mandatory twigs and leaves.
YES! Growing up, my family ate a lot of leafy greens and to this day, I feel a meal (lunch and dinner) is incomplete with leafy greens. My husband, on the hand, makes faces and gag, but oh well...
Spinach, chard, broccoli rabe, broccoli, mustard greens, watercress....
Usually, garlic and oil will do the trick. But i always like to add some chili pepper flakes and a few pieces of ginger.
Growing up, I was always taught that a meal must have a protein (typically meat), a starch, and a vegetable, so I always try to stick to that now. But the vegetable doesn't always have to be green.
Nope, corn or squash would look fine to me there--better than the black blob, as davebarnes said. And I second Emily G., too--I try to stick to the protein/starch/veggie rule too, but why limit yourself to green every meal?
i have to admit, the "greens" in that picture don't look particularly yummy. they've been cooked to within an inch of their life.
add a BRIGHT green salad with butter lettuce, a few radishes and cucumber slices, and then we're talking...
I am a vegetarian so I eat nothing but vegetables and whole grains. I don't always get green in every single meal but I make sure to eat a bit of all colors and seasonal veggies throughout the day.
In Home Ec in high school I was taught to not serve all the same colors. So you wouldn't want all white/beige, red, or green on a plate. Food looks more appetizing when there's plenty of color.
I also grew up with the understanding that every meal should have a green vegetable. Then it was often green beans cooked with a streak of lean. Now it is usually a green salad on the side. I'm looking forward to the weather cooling off so I can do roasted brussel sprouts, which is another favorite. It's been unseasonably warm lately and I haven't wanted to have the oven on that high.
Also, I tried the Easy Turkey Chili with Kale (substituted mustard greens because my grocery was out of kale) last week. Best chili ever.

It's still called being lazy. However, I would say that the reason this is happening is because of the boomer generation being the ruling generation atm (no offense intended to anyone). The millennium generation can barely even get their foot in the door and work their way to the top, without having a 4 year degree.
Back to the point. I prefer to play a game that is challenging. Remember how hard some of those old side scrollers were?
I personally am enjoying the current Cata end-game!
Citation, plz.
Some of us want to work hard and actually *get ahead* not fall further and further behind so others can profit obscenely off our labor, while real wages remain stagnant and the cost of everything from healthcare to basic necessities of life rises to meet shareholder profit demands.
That's not "being lazy." That's "being ruthlessly exploited and then being called a lazy, slacking whiner when you object to that exploitation."
But, on topic: back in Wrath, I regularly ran dungeons and raided lightly with my guild because I felt, even with my relatively limited play-time, that I could add something to the group and not be a weight to carry. This is absolutely not true of Cataclysm, where things are not only difficult, they're almost prohibitively so for many casual raiding guilds. My own guild's raid sector has repeatedly imploded from a combination of burnout and drama occasioned by punishing learning curves that have stymied our progression.
I wouldn't call it lazy at all. As Scrooge McDuck used to say, "Work Smarter, Not Harder."
The end goal is not to accomplish less, but to do it more efficiently. Doing something the hard way for the simple sake of "it builds character" is not how civilization progresses.

Hesiod, 8th century BC:
"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly disrespectful and impatient of restraint."
@ Nagaina,
For the last several months our guild's "core" raid team has had regular Firelands on farm. We have be pugging several "casual" raiders every week till we get to the heroic boss we are currently working on.
The main thing we stress to these players is that Firelands was tuned for players at ~ilvl 355 and that if you are now sporting ilvl 370+ through VP purchases you are approaching "overgeared" for the content.
Blizzard has made raiding "harder" in one very important way. In most encounters there is at least one mechanic that will wipe a raid if it is not executed successfully...i.e., it cannot be healed through. This is very unforgiving and is only overcome by a group of dedicated raiders "progressing" through and encounter and committing the mechanics to instant reaction.
The biggest problem we have in Firelands is raiders who have high latency or inconsistent internet connections....if you miss a mechanic you will wipe.
My grandpa, with no education in the 50's, earned as much (adjusted for inflation) as a four-year graduate from engineering school. My father, with a two-year tech certificate in the 70's, made TWICE what I make now.
Both of them paid one-fourth as much for their mortgage and they had far less to pay in taxes and utilities.
People are motivated relative to their incentive. When the new retirement age is 80 and the boomer generation won't give up their jobs and die like the previous generations did for their parents... the problem isn't simple laziness at all.
@ Metric,
That is, admittedly, part of the problem we're having -- the burnout and frustration occasioned by the raiding learning curve has more or less decimated out ability to keep a "core" progression raid group intact for more than a few weeks at a time. This problem is sharply exacerbated by the fact that our current Warlord (officer in charge of raiding) despises Vent and tends to think that issuing raid warnings for auto-wipe mechanics is unnecessary hand-holding -- and he might be right *if* we had a totally consistent group of core raiders that go out week after week and everybody was using a top of the line machine without any possibility of latency issues. We most emphatically do not have any of those things. Part of it is leadership not wanting to bend to the realities of the situation; part of it is the realities of the situation, the unforgiving nature of high-end Cataclysm raiding, exacerbating flaws of leadership.
I apologize that wanting to play a game for entertainment's sake makes me lazy. I usually devout my serious time to finding a job and figuring out a way to pay off my student loans, but I'm in the wrong. Then again, I guess since I haven't found a job yet that makes me lazy and unmotivated, too.
I'm just a bad egg. : /
"The end goal is not to accomplish less, but to do it more efficiently. "
Nobody's (well, to be realistic, almost nobody) is complaining about folks doing things more efficiently in game.
The problem is the meta-gaming. When your first solution to the problem of 'I'm not gearing up as quickly as I would like' is to whine on the forums rather than set more realistic goals, evaluate whether you actually need that gear, and/or spend more time gearing, that's a problem. At that point, we're not really playing the same game any longer, and what's worse, breaking my game of WoW has become one of the winning conditions of your game of Buff Me (or sometimes Nerf Them. Whichever.)
Homeschool said...
It's not so much a degradation of values, as it is a paradigm shift. It's been observed in various realms of humanity, and is causing a significant schism between the old generation and the new.
Previous generations were built on concepts of loyalty, mutual dependence, and hard work. The theory was, "we'll take care of you, and you take care of us". People could realistically expect that if they went to work every day, put in a solid 8 hours, and met the requirements, that they would be paid a fair wage and be assured of their career. They were exchanging effort for security.
Well, all of that's gone, and I don't think we can blame the rising generation. Most of us grew up watching our parents work long hours for little pay, scrape to support a family, and then get laid off by the faceless corporation. Whether that teaches us that the world is based on an "eat or be eaten" mentality, or fills one with a righteous indignation that anyone could be so abused, or leads to a despair that things will ever be different, the fact is that this generation grew up in a very different world. Can you be surprised that we see things in a very different light?
The modern generation is not willing to wait years or even months for the payback, because they know that the relationship might not last that long. They don't show loyalty unless loyalty is shown to them, and they feel that it's their right to expect that. They believe that position does not mean value, and expect to be judged on their individual merits. They watch the super-wealthy get huge quantities of money without matching effort, and they translate the jealousy into a question, "Why should I have to lose so they can gain?"
Look at the world around you, and imagine that you grew up with the understanding that investments were likely to be lost money, rather than a guarantee for the future; in a world where neither the quantity nor quality of work relates to the reward. Can you honestly be surprised that children don't want to wait on a hope and work for a dream?
Everyone want to do less and get more, regardless of what the venue is.
Back when I was a kid that was called 'being lazy'. What's it called today?
Today we call it "progress".
regardless of the venue we are doing a lot more with far less effort than 50 years ago, if anyone thinks "let's take it further", I agree.
Sounds like your Warlord is a big part of the problem. We rely on vent for communications and also set up markers everywhere to help with raid awareness. Your Warlord is doing you a disservice. We call out everything and people talk all through out our raids. It definitely helps. Your warlord may think baby-sitting or hand holding is bad, but he is cutting off his nose...as the saying goes.
We are farming 6/7 hard modes and I don't consider us an "elite" or hard-core guild, but we do have an active boss strategy forum, we steal ideas liberally from Fat Boss and L2Raid, and often challenge/make suggestions to our "warlord" when she we believe we have contributions to make. We also have 10 raiders that show up each and every week, which helps as well.
I know for a fact that lag can kill tanks on Heroic Alysrazor for example, so I feel your pain. But, these fights are not that hard if you prepare a strategy and make sure everyone does their part. Replace those that don't pull their weight if progression is that important (as opposed to friendship and loyalty to guild mates, even the baddies).

Free Events: Veteran's Day Ceremony And Flu Shot Clinic
November has begun, Daylight Savings Time is past and 2012 is almost over, but the City of Santa Clarita wants to remind residents of several events planned before the holiday season.
Sunday, November 11 is Veterans' Day. A special ceremony will be held at the Veteran's Historical Plaza in Old Town Newhall (at the intersection of Market Street and Walnut Street).

The Santa Clarita Veteran's Day Ceremony is free and open to everyone. All ages are encouraged to attend, as the City hopes to ensure that younger generations understand the true meaning of Veterans Day and the enormous sacrifices veterans have made to secure and defend the freedoms of the United States of America.

"Flu vaccinations are a precautionary way for people to protect themselves during the flu season," said Mayor Frank Ferry. "With the help of community partners like C.O.C. and the L.A. County Department ofPublic Health, Santa Clarita can provide inoculations against the flu free of charge for community members."
Colleges of the Canyons nursing students administer most of the vaccinations and EMT students are part of the pre-screening process. Nurses from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the college and volunteer nurses will also be on hand to lend their knowledge and expertise with the flu immunization Point of Dispending. Numerous City staff, the City's Community Emergency Response Team volunteers, as well as the City's Emergency Communication Team volunteers will also participate.

Colo. group launches hotline for racial profiling

GREELEY, Colo. — Hoping to curb instances of police pulling over people on the basis of race, a nonprofit group has started a statewide hotline for racial profiling.
The Colorado Progressive Coalition, which has an office in Greeley, launched the hotline in April. CPC started its first racial profiling hotline in 2001 but discontinued it in 2003. The group works on civil rights, workplace and health care issues.

In Werner Herzog's new film "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans," Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs -- while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves (played by Eva Mendes).
Together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience. The result is a singular masterpiece of filmmaking: equally sad and manically humorous.
Basic Information

- Filming Locations: Mississippi, USA; New Orleans, USA
- MPAA Warning: Drug use and language throughout, some violence and sexuality
- Production Companies: Edward R. Pressman Film, Lieutenant Productions, Millennium Films, Nu Image Films, Polsky Films, Saturn Films

Featured Articles
In a June 2008 interview with The Guardian, Abel Ferrara, who directed and co-wrote the original Bad Lieutenant (1992), said that finding out his movie was being remade was "a horrible feeling", "like when you get robbed", and that those involved in this remake "should all die in hell". He also wondered how Nicolas Cage "can even have the nerve to play Harvey Keitel", and called screenwriter William M. Finkelstein an idiot.
Although being promoted as a remake of Bad Lieutenant (1992) during its early production, director Werner Herzog claims that this is not a remake. He says he has never seen the original and therefore does not consider this movie a remake. Additionally, producers seemed to have added "Bad Lieutenant" to the title in order to get a better marketing. Whether remake, re-imagining, follow-up or none of the aforementioned, both movies are clearly connected by the basic plot of following a drug addicted, violent cop during his encounters with crime and sex.

The IndyCar Series held their yearly winter meetings this week, and the hope was some answers as to the 2010 car and driver combinations would come about. As Curt Cavin's Pit Pass column writes though, that was not the case. The highlights, if you could call it at that:

Boston, MA
Boston is an extremely walkable city and that's a good thing because driving can be difficult. Many of its narrow streets are one-way, parking can be tough, and there is an abundance of traffic. Luckily, Boston's public transportation also makes it easy to leave the car at home. The city's public transportation system is the oldest in the country and makes use of trains, subways, trolleys, and streetcars.

Embrace American history by walking the two-and-a-half mile long Freedom Trail. The trail connects sixteen incredible historic sites, including the Massachusetts State House, Paul Revere's home, the Old South Meeting House, churches, graveyards, and America's oldest park, Boston Common. You can take a self guided tour by simply downloading a map. If you want to learn even more about this city's history, consider taking a free guided tour from the National Park Service, or a paid tour such as those offered by Boston Duck Tours.

There are a number of stunning gardens throughout Boston. Fenway Victory Gardens was started back in 1942, when locals grew fruits and vegetables in an effort to help with food shortages brought on by the war. Its seven acres are still going strong today. Stroll through the grounds and you'll see things like birdhouses, ponds, fountains, and sculptures amongst the flower and vegetable gardens. You can visit on your own anytime or during Open Gardens, when gardeners present their Edens to the public.

BostonÕs Theatre District, which is is on the National Register of Historic Places, is bursting with culture and entertainment. Symphony Hall, which was built in 1900, is home to the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The hall is simply gorgeous and has been designed to create an acoustic experience like no other. Replicas of Greek and Roman statues, all related to music, art, or literature, grace the walls and the hall's organ is considered to be one of the best in the world. Catch a concert at Symphony Hall or go for a free tour given by one of their volunteers.

Veggie Bunch restaurant - a Vegetarian Buffet restaurant in Richmond BC Canada
Great food! This is quite a find. Walked in and went up to the buffet table and enjoyed the selection of many creative Vegetarian Chinese (or more accurately, Taiwanese) items. We were the only table in the entire restaurant that was speaking English. Recently reopened after a few months of the owners traveling in Taiwan.
They also have ice cream for dessert. Yum!

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- Actor Charlie Sheen continued with his "torpedo of truth" campaign Tuesday night, airing another bizarre episode of 'Sheen's Korner' on his Ustream channel.
Just hours after being fired from the hit TV show 'Two and a Half Men' on Monday, Sheen took to the Internet, issuing yet another bizarre rant.
"Now, everyone's 20 years behind my book, catching up, saying, 'My gosh, where was all this brilliance?'" Sheen declared.
He continued, "And I'm saying it was right there. You had the poetry in your magic fingertips the entire time, to flip my perfect pages and read my perfect words, but you didn't go there because you judged me, you condemned me, you discarded me. Well, not anymore. Winning!"
WATCH: Charlie's Sheens Latest 'Rant" http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13167959
Sheen made a series of bizarre statements, including, "People need to hear my gold as it rolls out, not as it's like disappearing, like so many frickin', you know, magicians' rabbits."
He also proclaimed, "Apocalypse... me... the jaws of life," and "Everybody wins!"
Warner Bros. announced the decision to fire Sheen on Monday afternoon, citing his "dangerously self-destructive conduct," difficulty at work and inflammatory comments to producers, TV executives said.
"After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen's services on 'Two and a Half Men' effective immediately," the studio said in a statement.
In an 11-page letter, attorneys for Warner Bros. said Sheen was being fired because in recent months he had been forgetting lines, turning up late or missing rehearsals and made "comments poisoning key working relationships."
TV executives believed Sheen's drug and alcohol abuse was also "endangering his life."
Despite repeated attempts, including a personal appeal in January by CBS chief executive Les Moonves, Sheen refused to enter a rehab facility for treatment, the letter said.
"Let us state the obvious," began the letter, obtained by TMZ.com.
"Your client (Sheen) has been engaged in dangerously self-destructive conduct and appears to be very ill."
Read the Full Statement
Sheen responded with his own statement.
"It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of the bazillions, never have to look at whatshiscock again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension," Sheen said in a statement. His lawyers said they planned to sue Warner Bros. Television.
A spokesman for Warner Bros. Television said on Monday that no decision had been made about the future of "Two and A Half Men."
Sheen had a contract with the TV show that runs through to the end of the 2012 TV season.
CBS and Warner Brothers released a statement last week saying that the studio would not be producing new shows for the remainder of the year.
"Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros. Television have decided to discontinue production of 'Two and a Half Men' for the remainder of the season," the statement said.
Sheen rebutted, referring to show creator Chuck Lorre by his birth name in an open letter released to the media after CBS's decision to suspend the show.
"What does this say about Haim Levine [Chuck Lorre] after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me. I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows," he wrote."I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can't handle my power and can't handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words -- imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong."
TMZ posted a story earlier Thursday quoting Sheen challenging Lorre to a fight, calling him "a stupid, stupid little man and a pu**y punk that I never want to be like."
That statement was part of a radio interview on the Alex Jones show, during which Sheen also said, "I embarrassed him [Lorre] in front of his children and the world by healing at a pace his unevolved mind cannot process."
Sheen also blasted Alcoholics Anonymous as a cult, and criticized both the Pope and Thomas Jefferson.
The show had already been on hiatus since January when Sheen was admitted to rehab after allegedly hosting a party overflowing with drugs and porn stars.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm thoroughly impressed by this article. This is the first real time I've seen the whole matter of WotLK raids discussed so intelligently. Bravo.
On a personal level I loved the guild-killer that was Karazhan in the early days. The fact that I could watch so many seemingly strong and solid guilds get torn asunder by the instance as well as the struggle that was trying to keep everyone together meant you really had to know what you were doing not only as a raider but also as a guild member/officer. The coordination and cooperation demanded by the instance meant you were truly rewarded with every victory. I know I might be a rare blade of grass in this backyard and I don't expect (or even want) Blizzard to cater raids to my preference. Because if it were up to me Karazhan would be but a footnote in the annals of WoW's Raiding Brick Walls.
With all that said though I understand, respect and support their choices for WotLK. I'll continue to have fun. =)

Birger Dahlerus
Johan Birger Essen Dahlerus (February 6, 1891–March 8, 1957) was a Swedish businessman, amateur diplomat, and friend of Hermann Göring who tried through diplomatic channels to prevent the Second World War. His futile diplomatic efforts during the days preceding the German invasion of Poland in 1939 are sometimes called the Dahlerus Mission.
Birger Dahlerus was born in Stockholm in 1891. He had an excellent network of contacts of authoritative Englishmen and various leaders of the Third Reich,----e.g. his early acquaintance with Hermann Göring.
It had been known to the senior military personnel of the Third Reich, at least since the Military Conference of August 6, 1939 at Obersalzberg, that aggressive war between Greater Germany and the Western powers was imminent.[1] On August 7, 1939 Dahlerus arranged a meeting at his own house, near the Danish border in Schleswig-Holstein, between Göring and seven British businessmen.[2]
- A. Holden
- Charles Spencer
- Stanley Rawson (John Brown & Company)
- Brain Mountain
- Sir Robert Renwick
- Charles Maclaren
- T. Mensforth
The businessmen attempted to persuade Göring that the British Government would stand by its treaty obligations to Poland, which obliged it to support the Polish Government in any conflict in which it became embroiled. Dahlerus believed that they had succeeded.[3] At the Nuremberg trials, the British prosecutor, Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe, was able to persuade the Swede that he had been badly misled by the German leaders. Clearly, the discussion had no effect on the policy and actions of the Third Reich.
On August 25, 1939, the British and Polish Governments converted the unilateral declaration of support offered by the British Government into a mutual assistance pact. On the same day Benito Mussolini wrote to Hitler to indicate that he would not be able at this time to declare war on the Western Powers.[4] Dahlerus, at this time, was acting as an intermediary between Göring and the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax.[5] Göring had summoned Dahlerus from Stockholm on the previous day, put him on an aircraft, and dispatched him to inform the British Government that Germany wanted an understanding with Great Britain. Halifax informed him that diplomatic channels were open and that his input was unnecessary.
Following a telephone conversation between himself and Göring, Dahlerus had a further conversation with Halifax on August 26. He persuaded the British Foreign Secretary to write a letter, couched in non-specific terms, indicating the desire of the British Government for peace and requesting a few days leeway in which to achieve it.[6]
On August 27 Dahlerus flew to London, and met Neville Chamberlain, Lord Halifax, Sir Horace Wilson and Sir Alexander Cadogan. He presented an offer, which included a proposal that Britain would agree to Germany offering to guarantee the borders of Poland, taking Danzig, and a referendum in the Polish corridor. This very modest proposal was nevertheless felt to be unacceptable, and that the Poles would fight rather than agree to it. It was agreed that Dahlerus would return to Berlin and report back with Hitler's reply.[7] Dahlerus had become so significant, according to his own testimony, that he felt able to advise the British Government that they should keep Ambassador Neville Henderson in London until the next day so that he could better react to Hitler's response.
On August 29, at a meeting with the German Foreign Minister, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Neville Henderson had been presented with a document containing sixteen points which Germany demanded that Poland agree to. Henderson said[8] that they were spoken too fast for him to understand, and that he was denied a written copy. On the following day, Dahlerus was given a copy of the sixteen points by Göring, and took them to Henderson. Henderson in turn dispatched him to Józef Lipski, the Polish ambassador, who had never heard of Dahlerus. As one of the sixteen points was that a Polish negotiator with full plenipotentiary powers should appear in Berlin before September 1, the Polish Government deemed the proposals unreasonable.
On August 31 Lipski was received by Ribbentrop. On being asked if he had come as a fully empowered delegate, and on stating that he had not, he was dismissed.[9] An intercepted copy of the telegram to Lipski, defining his powers, was given by Göring to Dahlerus to take to Henderson.
Dahlerus' final diplomatic effort before the onset of war occurred on the afternoon of the last day of peace. He proposed that Göring should again meet with Henderson, which he did at 5pm. Sir George Ogilvie-Forbes, counsellor and chargé d'affaires at the British embassy, was also present. His statement, presented at Nuremberg, describes the atmosphere as negative, and suggests Göring's confidence in the ability of Germany to crush Poland quickly.[10]
The Third Reich commenced land operations against Poland on September 1, 1939 at 04:45. At 08:00 Dahlerus met Göring, who informed him that the Poles had attacked Germany (sic) at Dirschau. Dahlerus, in his Nuremberg testimony, says that "I informed somebody that according to the information I had received the Poles had attacked, and they naturally wondered what was happening to me when I gave that information". Dahlerus also stated that "the Poles are sabotaging everything" and that he had "evidence they never meant to attempt to negotiate".[11]
Dahlerus telephoned London again at 12:30, and this time was put through to Cadogan. Cadogan, while being a committed anti-appeaser, was only the Under-Secretary of State, and Dahlerus insisted that his comments be submitted to the Cabinet. They duly were, and the answer given to the Swede was that negotiation was only possible on the basis of the immediate withdrawal of German forces from Polish territory.
The British and French Governments issued ultimata to the German Government on September 3, 1939. Dahlerus telephoned the British Foreign Office ten minutes before the British ultimatum expired, with a proposal that Göring should fly immediately to London for negotiations.[12] Perhaps not surprisingly, the approach was rejected, and Dahlerus disappeared from the world stage until the Nuremberg trials, apart from a brief and ineffective liaison between Hitler and Forbes on September 26, which achieved nothing. Birger Dahlerus died in Stockholm in 1957.

DuPont Heritage
Our beginnings can be traced to gunpowder and a shared vision of having the world's strongest and proudest army. It started in 1812, with a handshake between E.I. du Pont and Thomas Jefferson. 200 years later, our journey has taken us through two world wars, 40 presidents and countless innovations. From being the sole provider of munitions during the Great War to developing the first truly synthetic material to replace rubber and silk, to being an indispensable ally to our warfighters in Iraq and Afghanistan, DuPont materials have seen our bravest through some of their toughest times.
Today, our continued investment in technologies and commitment to the US Government continues. We're excited to see where the next 200 years take us.

Ideas for Pillows to Coordinate with Red Patterned Rug?
Good Questions
Q: My husband and I recently bought this bold rug for the living room in our new aparment, and we're in love with it. I would love new pillows to go with it, as opposed to the ones here that are from our former apartment as placeholders, but am not sure what to do. I have been thinking about light blue and white (in thick stripes or just solid?) or light gray and white. I don't want to detract from the rug, and feel like the current pillows "fight" too much. Thanks for any opinions!
Editor: Leave your suggestions for KM in the comments — thanks!

I like Liz's ideas. I love your new rug. It already has a LOT going on. I don't think I would add a new pattern; not even stripes. Maybe polka dots, but that takes a special kind of person. I liked the waffle-fabric in cream in the background of Liz's Target example, too. If you can find that pillow in the color--gray or cream? that contrasts the red on the rug. I think red pillows with a design like Liz's would work, too, as long as they are the same tone as the rug. The idea of a pillow in any complementary color with an animal or an object would work. Just don't use a floral or animal pattern. Use a flower or an animal. Have fun!!
I'd suggest homing in on the grey/white and adding complimentary colors like yellow, black, turquoise mixed in. Maybe a couple of neutral solids with texture and a couple of patterned, such as in the link below.
My mind instantly went to these Swiss army blankets! I'm sure they have pillows you could search for too. http://www.etsy.com/listing/102357879
Yup - Strike the pillows.
Also, that settee/daybed thing looks orphaned over there. Scoot it in. I think the color works better with the rug. I would rearrange so that the sofa and that piece of furniture are part of the conversation area. Its okay for it to be in front of those cabinet things. You could even move one of those small cabinets so they are in a small 'L" in the corner.
The ottomans can either be against the windows and pulled out when needed, or placed on the other side of the coffee table so you have three seating pieces - either across from the sofa or across from the gray thing depending on the rest of the room.
I know you weren't looking for a room rearrange, but I think it will be better for the rug.
As far as color - I would concentrate on picking up the gray - and red is now the accent color. But the other way you could go is go for the sort of Marrakesh look with very, very luxe fabrics draping on the wall - but the sofa is not so theme-y.
If you buy stripes, limit yourself to one striped pillow balanced with other patterns & solids. A bunch of striped pillows will clash. I would stick with rounded patterns that work with the rug pattern (e.g. abstracts, florals, Moroccan prints, etc.).
Also, I'd also stay away from all light-colored pillows... if your pillows don't have a bit of bold color, that rug is going to conquer your living room. If it were me, I'd mix some bold, multi-colored, patterned (slightly more expensive) pillows with some lighter solid (less expensive) pillows.
I like Liz's suggestions. Also possibly these:
1. Antropologie's Orimono Flower pillow
2. Antropologie's Jacobean pillow
3. Antropologie's Capricious Canopy pillow (I want this one!)
4. Assorted Rani Arabella pillows
I'd go with a mixture of kilim pillows - one striped, the others small and large motifs - with red as an accent rather than dominant color.
Oh man -- would anyone be able to ID that rug itself? I purchased something similar online but was bummed to see in person that it was more of a deeper red and bone color and not red and white. Love the one featured here.
For pillows I would go with solids -- blues, green blue and whites. I love teals with reds.
I love the look of dark teal with that color red. They're complementary without being too Christmas-looking. And then I might add in something with texture, rather than pattern, to go with the teal, like one of these:
Most of the time your pillows are going to be set against the dark leather couch — not the rug itself. So I don't shy away from picking patterned pillows. Just keep the scale of the pattern smaller than your rug, and vary the scale a bit if you get multiple pillows.
As long as the pillows don't clash with the color or style of your rug (e.g., I'd skip Barbie pink or metallic silver) you should be fine.
I like the idea of the Kilim pillows or other ethnic patterns, since the pattern of your rug is a modern twist on a Moorish or Persian rug.
When in doubt, buy a bunch of pillows, try them out in the room, and return the ones you don't like!
I think I might opt for a pillow arrangement for the dark sofa that was mostly light, natural linen with some color in it.
For the lounge, I might go with something darker, maybe predominately the same red as the sofa, to continue to pull the eye from the rug to the lounge.
Here are some ideas for pillows for the dark sofa:
And for the light lounge:
Not that you asked, but Emily Henderson did a great tutorial on mixing patterns that might help you figure out how to work with what you have and work with all the suggestions you've gotton:
Opposites. Also the answer is right in your photo. See that cobalt blue vase? Cobalt blues and purples.
Thank you all so much -- these are such great ideas! The pattern mix tutorial is great, @cvjn. I think I've found a winning pillow -- and it corresponds with a lot of the suggestions that were given here! Bolder, with a touch of an ethnic/Moroccan feel (similar to kilim and those at surya.com) in colors that pick up and complement the red rug: http://www.laylagrayce.com/Products/Jennifer-Paganelli-Back-Bay-Orange-Blue-Hook-Pillow__PH30JP06C18SQ.aspx Still can accent these with lighter solid pillows, too. Thoughts?
By the way, @MY09, we got the rug via Zinc Door, link here: http://www.zincdoor.com/p/Frontier-Moroccan-Crimson-Hand-Woven-Wool-Rug__SUFT114.aspx
I love you choice for the layla grayce pillow. (and gosh I love the anthropologie's cushions suggested by Slangevar).
But I very much agree with thesnackhounddotcom! The day bed would look so nice on the rug!!
On the cream day bed you could used simple linnen charcoal cushions.
On the leather sofa a mix of the lalyla grayce and the mongolian lamb wool cushion from west elm suggested by Iruth (I think that on leather you need to use something more textured than linnen... mongolian lamb wool and kilims were very good suggestion).
@KM2 - That pillow is perfect! Exactly what everyone was dancing around. Your room is going to be outstanding.
@cvjn - Ditto on the thanks for the pattern mixing tutorial. My instincts appear to be good, but it's so nice to have an actual system.
oh what this pattern? http://www.etsy.com/listing/99781168/moroccan-tile-slim-pillow-in-red-with
Love that pillow KM2!!! I hope the question asker goes with your suggestion!
