Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Sometimes a guild's desire for a 'lack of drama' (read: inability to criticize players who are not doing their job) conflicts with their desire for progress. The 'new guy' might simply be saying what everyone is thinking.
Several things struck me about the OP's letters: The lack of time to raid time, the lack of time to spend grinding for gear, and their apparent performance issues.
The OP said, "I will say I haven't wiped a boss we had on farm." That means the OP has wiped a boss that they were trying to progress on.
If these 'mistakes' are consistent (and by the OP's own admission, they seem to be), the other players in a progression-minded raid environment are going to resent the player causing them - especially if that same player isn't grinding heroics for the gear necessary to get the gear they need for raiding.
Think about it: You have a player who logs in once a week to raid, who isn't working to upgrade their gear outside of raids, and who is causing wipes on progression bosses.
Even the most drama-free raid-team is going to resent having to carry that kind of player.
If all the new guy is doing is making indirect comments about inadequate healing and trying to arrange healing to compensate for carrying an under-geared, under-prepared player, I'd say his patience with the OP is a lot higher than would be the case with a lot of progression raiders.
The Drama Mama's are right: Talk to your guild leader (and possibly the other officers) without the benefit of your hugbox (ie: the GM's wife) cushioning you from what very well may be a hard truth: You might need to step back and let someone else have an opportunity to raid if you are unable to put in the time and energy needed to progress at this time.
It's an unfortunate fact that there are very few players who are both (1) Competent to evaluate other raider's play, (2) Confident enough to speak up with appropriate criticism, and (3) Courteous enough to do so without coming off as "That Guy."
It's unfortunate that this "That Guy" is as much of a jerk as he is (reported to be), but Hurt Healadin seems like he's more out of place than he realizes. Raiding once a week and not making up the VP difference with Zulsjust isn't reasonable for a guild trying to make "progression," whatever your definition of the word is.

I agree with your sentiment about self-examination re: playtime etc., but I think most people have wiped a group on a progression fight. Unless you're on wipe # 23456, chances are that you're still getting the mechanics down as a group. So long as it's not the 12th instance of the same mistake, by the same person, complaining and blame gaming is counter productive.
Wrath trained us all to be much less fault tolerant. Towards the end you could bang out 5 heroics in an hour and a half, then pile into ICC, on your 4th alt, with a PuG, and roll up (at least) the first half of it without breaking a sweat, raiding became a game you couldn't lose. Mostly you ran out of time, or got bored, and that's when you stopped.
That state of affairs lasted quite a while, and now the pendulum has swung back, somewhat. The raiding game has simultaneously become more difficult and more accessible than ever. The patience we lost in Wrath hasn't quite returned to us, and expectations are higher than ever. It's a no-win for a guys like Hurt.
Regarding something LynMars said above; good back-ups are a fabulous thing to have, and hard to come by. It's what I do. I told my guildies right up front that my time was kind of limited, and that as much as I'd like to make every night I simply can't. I struck deal whereby I always, always, always, am available when I say I am, and I sit if the entire regular group shows. I think I sat out once, maybe. It's likely easier for me to do that as a DPS, I went Shadow for Cata after healing since BC, but it may be an option for Hurt.
I disagree that passive aggressive criticism is a sign of patience. In this case, it seems more like cowardice or reveling in causing someone else distress. I'd much rather have someone call me out directly than beat around the bush while tapping me on the head and giggling.
I don't mean the usual wipes while learning a fight, or the understandable, occasional accident that happens to everyone.
I'm talking about "That Guy" who only shows up on raid night, undergeared and underprepared, expecting to raid.
Not running heroics means that his gear is likely inadequate. It also means that he is learning Cataclysm play mechanics (healers and tanks were hit especially hard with the 're-learn your role' hammer this expansion) during the raid rather than in heroics.
That combination of undergeared and underskilled is deadly to progression. It means that at best the guild is nine-manning the fight, and at worst means they are being killed by someone standing where they shouldn't be standing.
If all of the healers are going OOM halfway through the boss fight, then the DPS is probably standing in the fire.
But if one healer is going OOM (or worse, letting their heal assignment die) before the others, then something is usually wrong.
If that healer is undergeared and refuses to gear up outside of raids (regardless of their reasoning), it's unfair to ask the rest of the raid to suffer repair bills and wasted time just to carry them and gear them up - especially when the other nine or twenty-four people have likely been grinding heroics in order to get themselves ready.
Ultimately, what I'm saying is this: The hotshot might be "That Guy" for speaking up about the OP's failings, but the OP is also "That Guy" for not holding up his end of the raiding bargain.
@Matt P:
I agree that I would rather someone call me out than beat around the bush.
But many, many casual raiding guilds have a 'no drama' policy that doesn't let people do that.
While it prevents name-calling and naming names in a harmful manner, it often also creates an environment where useful or necessary criticisms are seen as 'stirring up drama.'
There is a difference between helpful and harmful critiques, but these sorts of guild policies often don't differentiate.
It is also possible that "the hotshot" is trying to nudge the OP into doing the things the OP obviously needs to do, like run heroics for gear. He may even think he is being polite by not calling the guy out by name, but simply saying, "Healing is inadequate for our goals, we need to gear the healers up."
In the end, it seems that the OP wants to blame the new guy for creating a hostile raiding environment while the OP continues to rest on his ICC laurels, expecting the guild to both pat him on the head for showing up once a week while carrying him through the new content.
That seems like a far more selfish thing than anything the new guy has done.
"It is also possible that "the hotshot" is trying to nudge the OP into doing the things the OP obviously needs to do, like run heroics for gear."
If you read, Healadin stated that he could only raid 1 night a week due to real life concerns, and really couldn't run heroics that often either. If he or she has a full time job, kids, other social priorities, ect., you can't expect them to drop everything just to go grind heroics. If their guild thinks their gear is good enough, then it IS good enough. Real life > WoW.
That Guy is probably the guy with multiple 85s, all geared to the teeth (due to the fact he probably has nothing to do most of the time) and expects everyone else to be able to do the time with much less time. I'd simply tell him to HELP his fellow guild members out, not tell them that they suck and need better gear. Being passive aggressive can ruin many things.
I agree that RL > WoW, but raiding is meant to be an activity that is meant for people who are committed to the game, if not time-wise, then at least effort-wise. If Healadin barely has enough time to get geared up through heroics, there are plenty of other activities he can do in-game that don't require nearly as much time and committment: random heroics, PvP, dailies, questing, achievements, collecting stuff, etc.
The difference between those things and raiding is that he won't be unnecessarily handicapping people who ARE putting in the time and effort. I think what Gendou is trying to say is that Healadin and other "casual" players shouldn't expect to have their cake and eat it too at the expense of the other raiders. Of course, we don't know Healadin's situation directly, so YMMV.
Just my two cents.
A "no drama" policy doesn't mean people can't talk to the raid leader to have him/her talk to the problem player.
Geared Shadow priest not pulling nearly the DPS she should be? Point out their meters to the Raid Lead so he can get someone on that to help. Someone's gemmed/reforged/enchanting incorrectly or not at all? Point it out to the raid lead so he or someone he assigns can handle it diplomatically, rather than having player A get jumped by random other team members.
"No drama casual guild" does NOT mean "never ever critiques or helps people who are lagging behind to improve." It just means it's handled by the appropriate guild/raid team channels at the proper times, not during the raid itself via snide remarks and snippy comments everyone knows are directed even if they don't name names, even if they're thinking it themselves.
There's being a team player, and then there's being a jerk to make yourself look cooler to the team. Same as there's being a team player, and knowing when to sit out or stick to back up/alt runs if time to gear and practice are an issue.

Conservative Now Means Helping Billionaires And No One Else
Sounds simple doesn't it? The main thing the conservatives are fighting for is "smaller government". They have all the mentally retarded ignorant hillbillies, you know, their base, railing against "big guvvmint". Now here is the deal. The smaller the government is, the less effective it will be at stopping billionaires from raping OUR families, and polluting our planet for profit. Billionaires like the Koch Brothers need to poison us, kill us, and pollute our planet to make acceptable profit margins. They care nothing about our planet, our country, our children, or anything else besides raw power, and how big their bank account is. In order for them to make a few more billion this year, millions of Americans will have to suffer or die. That is the game, and every single "conservative" is helping the Kochs play it. If you call yourself a conservative, you might as well say you are an employee of Koch Industries, or Heritage, Freedom Works, or some other right wing rape the poor, and destroy the planet for billionaire profit organization. If you think any "conservative" politician gives a damn about your family you are insane. Oh by the way, wait till a category 7 hurricane wipes Florida off the map. Don't think it can't/won't happen. It's only a matter of time.

The Choice Architecture of Choice Architecture: Toward a Non-paternalistic Nudge Policy
AbstractThe paper seeks to recast the goal of nudge policy from a goal of achieving a specific result determined by government or by behavioral economists to a goal of giving individuals as much power as is practical to decide the choice architecture they face. We call a nudge with such a giving individuals "power over choice mechanisms" goal a non-paternalistic nudge policy. The goal of non-paternalistic nudge policy is not to achieve a better result as seen by government or by behavioral economists. The goal of non-paternalistic nudge policy is to achieve a better result as seen by the agents being nudged as revealed through their choices of choice architectures. We argue that non-paternalistic nudge policy fits much better with the values inherent in Classical liberalism than does libertarian paternalistic nudge policy.

MOBILE, Ala. – Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett and owner/general manager Jerry Jones offered their continued support of Josh Brent as the former Cowboy goes through his intoxication manslaughter trial.
No verdict was decided on Tuesday, and the jurors were reportedly sequestered after deliberations finished for the day. They'll pick up again tomorrow morning to decide the fate of Brent, who's been accused of driving drunk and crashing his car, resulting in the death of his teammate and friend, Jerry Brown
Cowboys staff members and players have stood by Brent after the incident occurred during the season in December 2012. Brent, who played in 12 games in 2012, has since retired and missed the 2013 season.
"Our support for Josh has been unwavering since the start of this thing," Garrett said. "That just simply continues. Obviously, a very tragic situation for Jerry Brown and his family and for Josh Brent. This is the process that you go through and we're supportive of him and we're just hopeful that the outcome is something that's certainly justified and allows him to continue on with his life. It's a very tragic situation, and that hasn't changed."
Garrett said he's followed the trial from a distance, while Jones said he's been following the trial very closely.
"I get updates daily to the progress of how it's going daily and am certainly interested in the verdict," Jones said. "Certainly it's tragic. We've all, to some degree, have been a part of this. We support Josh. This has been just a terrible experience for the families who lost a loved one and for Josh who loved Jerry as well."

Shortly after she was crowned, the 16-year-old Patterson High senior still seemed perplexed by the decision, and acted humbly as she credited everyone, including her court, regarding her new title.
Bristow, daughter of Julie and John Bristow, specifically thanked her parents and sisters for their unwavering support throughout the competition's trials, and felt they were the sole force that drove her to win.
"I am so honored by everyone I've worked with," said Bristow, a PHS Ambassador and volleyball enthusiast. "I owe all my success to my parents and sisters. They told me that everything would work out fine, and now I get to represent (Patterson)."
Following close behind in the scoring process was first runner-up Morgan Maring, 17, daughter of Matt and Lynn Maring, and second runner-up Heavin Olmos, 17, daughter of Cory and Larry Olmos.
Each of the 12 Miss Patterson finalists were judged on points achieved throughout a three-month process of personal growth and development as well as their final presentation during Friday evening's proceedings.
The role of Miss Congeniality, however, is chosen by the finalists themselves. Melissa Tenorio, 17, daughter of Laura and Joe Tenorio, was chosen as Miss Congeniality by her fellow peers in the contest. Tenorio, a dance assistant and cheer captain, said being chosen by her fellow competitors was indescribable, as well as surprising.
Members of the community as well as friends and family of the finalists packed around the manicured stage throughout the evening with handmade signs and t-shirts to cheer on their favorite contestant.
The girls kicked off the evening with a light, upbeat dance number before being introduced in the swimsuit category to demonstrate poise and confidence. Master of ceremonies Pat Dooley led the evening's accounts alongside co-host Stephanie Barraza.
After a short break, featuring a performance by the San Jose-based country duo Ryan and CeCe, the young women re-emerged in evening gowns to answer questions that were given to each girl an hour before the on-stage interview.
When asked why she was driven to go to school for criminal justice and psychology, Bristow said she is interested in the world of today, and wants to know the reasons why society functions the way that it does.
Other candidates also discussed their interests, both in and outside of school.
First runner-up Maring, a senior at Central Catholic High School, said she wanted to study Kinesiology and was specifically asked to discuss her family during the interview process.
"Agriculture brought my family to Patterson over 50 years ago and I am so blessed to have grown up in such a large family," said Maring. "Their constant support throughout the good and bad times has shaped me into the person I am today."
Later, finalist America Nunez, 16, said she intended to major in English at the University of Maryland, and enjoyed working with the youth by coaching basketball at Sacred Heart Catholic School.
Each girl brought a new perspective and community service initiative to the finalist circle, and offered a series of contributions to the West Side in their resume.
Pageant chair Teresa Valentine said it was important to choose someone who would carry the Miss Patterson title with dignity, as well as commit to a full year of service as an ambassador and representative of the Patterson community.
She also said an undisclosed number of girls applied to participate in this year's pageant before a board of non-Patterson residents narrowed the competition down to 12 finalists.
The judges were then asked to rank finalists on a 100-point system with three distinct categories.
Forty percent of the score was based on how they conducted themselves during interviews at a wine and cheese event run by Preceptor Xi Phi sorority the previous week.
Another 40 percent was based on the evening gown portion of Friday's pageant, including confidence and the way in which contestants handled an interview question with the judge.
The final 20 percent was based on poise, confidence and fitness shown during the swimwear portion of Friday's program.
Just before last year's court crowned the reigning winners, Miss Patterson 2013 Molly McGarry spoke about the importance of representing the community. She fondly remembered the time spent on the very stage as a candidate, as well as some memorable moments during her reign.
When asked what advice she'd give to the next young lady who takes her crown, McGarry said with a laugh, "Borrow a lot of dresses from friends, be punctual and be available. Oh, and comfy shoes."

In our premier issue, back in October 2002, we ran a full-length interview with Anders Hejlsberg, the Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft responsible for the creation of the C# programming language. Then, in March 2005, we presented a follow-up interview conducted by .NETDJ's editor-in-chief, Derek Ferguson, at Microsoft's Tech Ed 2004 conference in San Diego, California. Here it is again in full.
.NETDJ: Between now and the last time we spoke, Borland has entered the .NET space. As an ex-Borland employee who is now one of the most revered .NET icons, what are your thoughts on this?
AH: I'm very excited that they are doing that! It is the right thing for the Delphi community and .NET is the logical next place for all Windows development tools to go. I think it is a win-win situation.
.NETDJ: I didn't realize the last time we spoke that you started off at Microsoft building the Windows Foundation Classes for J++. I never had a chance to look at WFC during its day. If I looked at it today, would I see bits I'd recognize from the .NET Framework?
AH: Some of the ideas from WFC were carried forward into Windows Forms, so you would see stuff there.
.NETDJ: Where, if anywhere, do you see a need for "a language specializing in... <blank>" today? For example, I think there is a real need for a new entry-level programming language. What do you think?
AH: I think there is a healthy cross-pollination that occurs between all the programming languages. While you might see C# pioneer in one direction and VB pioneer another, ultimately there is a lot of crossing over of ideas over time. Certainly, anything we do on the C# team we let the VB folks participate in and vice versa.
.NETDJ: I recently spoke with Soma Somasegar, Microsoft's Corporate VP of the Developer Division, and he mentioned that you were one of the people looking at how XML usage can be done better from a programmatic standpoint. Can you tell us a little about this work?
AH: Well, I wasn't involved in X#, but two of the people who were on the X# team are now members of the C# team. Some of X#'s ideas are being carried forward in C#. These are not going to look the same way as they did in X#. However, I think that the core concepts will carry forward. I can't make any commitments, though.
Actually, the main thrust of X# was trying to deal with relational data. It also tried to deal with XML, but it did not deal with loosely typed XML, which is what most of the XML in the world is.
My feeling is that if XML is strongly typed, then it can very conveniently be represented as classes. So what we really need is syntax for creating "object literals" - objects with nested objects - all in a single expression. We are kind of calling these "object initializers."
I would not expect to see XML literals embedded in the C# programming language, however. There are two ways to think about integrating concepts. On one hand, you can just embed one language in another. Honestly, however, this approach just calls attention immediately to all of the differences between the two languages. Take Embedded SQL, for example. You still have to learn two languages, but you also have to learn how those two languages interact.
On the other hand, if you could just take the conceptual things that are in two languages and merge them into one, you could get a much more productive environment. This is the approach to data I want to take in future versions of C#.
.NETDJ: The last time we spoke (at OOPSLA 2002), you had just announced that anonymous methods would be added to C#, but you couldn't give a timeline. Now we know that that will occur in Visual Studio 2005. What has happened between now and then to take this idea from a vision to reality?
AH: The stuff we talked about at OOPSLA was the first glimpse we gave of the new C# language features that will be in Visual Studio 2005. There are many that are well-known: generics, anonymous methods, iterators, and partial classes. There are also many more - nullable types, which we just talked about today - and a whole bunch of smaller things that are not as well-known.
Nullable types basically represent the ability to have value types that can be set to null, which is something that people very much ask for. I recently asked a group of programmers, "How many of you access data in your applications?" Virtually everyone raised his hand.
People do a lot of database access, and yet there are some pretty notable impediments to interactions between databases and programming languages. One of these mismatches is the absence of nullable types from programming languages. SQL databases have always had nullable types, but programming languages have never had nullable types. One of the things that you are sort of seeing here is the beginning of us trying to think really deeply about this problem. Nullable types are a specific problem that we are solving as a part of .NET 2.0. In .NET 1.0, value types can't be null, but in 2.0 they can.

So it was the flaws in most major programming languages (e.g. C++, Java, Smalltalk, even Delphi) that drove the fundamentals of the CLR, which, in turn, drove the design of the C# programming language itself? Interesting...

Or you might actually look beyond the blinders and see that VB is Basic mutated beyond recognition. And Basic was the worlds only programming language for those who couldn't program.
Or if you took the blinders off, you might see that C# is Java with Microsoft curb feelers.
J++ + MFC ??? What a joke! Microsoft never saw a standard they couldn't improve upon!

What should the language/framework add in the future?
Managed Threading would be a great addition. Currently managed memory stops the wild pointer problems that we see in unmanaged C/C++. The GC manages the memory.
However, when programming with threads, it is so easy to make a mistake. What is worse is that you will not know that you have made a mistake until some random collision blows up your program.
Managed Threading would check for thread safety in addition to type safety.
With all the announcements about dual core processors, multi-threading issues will be more important than ever.

Its indeed inspiring to read interview of Mr. Anders Hejlsberg.
I have heard that Microsoft has decided not to implement latest version of XSLT language(XSLT 2.0) and XPath (XPath 2.0) in the .NET Framework. But Microsoft wishes to implement XQuery 1.0 in .NET, but only after it becomes a W3C recommendation.
In this interview, Mr. Anders Hejlsberg has said.. "Another language that is difficult to learn, but very powerful, is XSLT". It therefore seems, XSLT is an important language for Microsoft!
I wish Microsoft implements XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 in .NET Framework(and other relevant products).
Also it seems, Microsoft has decided not to release next version of their freeware MSXML software(i.e. after MSXML4, which I think is MSXML5). MSXML5 is shipping only with MS Office 2003. I wish Microsoft release its latest MSXML5 software(or later versions like MSXML6..) as freeware just like MSXML4. And, latest MSXML (6 and beyond), should support XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0!
I have heard, that Microsoft is of the view, that they implement W3C specs only after they become recommendations(and not in draft form).. I do agree with this view.. But, if Microsoft starts work now(it might have already started!), to implement XSLT 2.0/XPath 2.0 in .NET and MSXML, the product would be delivered on time!

I had not taken Neely outside to play in the snow because, to be honest, it was just ice. But yesterday, about 4 in the afternoon, I found her standing at the front window staring yelling "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII", "DOOOOOOOOOOOOG", "BALLLLLLLLLLLLLL". The kids in the neighborhood were out & Neely wanted to be out too. So, we both got bundled up to go play.
Neely loves wagons (and dogs). We are definitely going to have to get her one when spring comes.
Our neighborhood is almost completely flat, but somehow the kids have been sledding down the driveways. Here is Neely sledding with our neighbor.
I am so glad it is the weekend. Hopefully, it will warm up so we can get out and about.

How to Melt Chocolate
Here's the trick to melting chocolate for use in baking recipes.
Video Transcript
To melt chocolate, chop it into large chunks, place the chunks in a heavy saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring occasionally. Be sure your pan and utensils are dry because even a little water will cause the chocolate to seize, that is, become stiff or lumpy. If the chocolate seizes, remove the pan from the heat and stir in a little bit of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until the chocolate is smooth and shiny again. This restored chocolate will be fine to use in a frosting or filling, but you won't be able to use it in a recipe where the chocolate must set up.
You can also melt chocolate in the microwave. Chop the chocolate into large chunks and place them in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave the chocolate at MEDIUM for 2 to 3 minutes, checking it after 1 minute. Keep checking every 30 to 40 seconds to make sure it doesn't scorch. When the chocolate looks shiny and softened, remove it from the microwave. It won't melt completely, but it will become smooth and liquid when you stir.

Hastings High's offense came alive late in the game. But it died just one yard short in a 6-2 loss to Alliance Friday night.
Trailing 6-0, the Tigers' resurrection came by way of a 91-yard final drive, putting HHS in shape to tie the game and even maybe win it with an extra-point kick.
But they fumbled the snap on fourth-and-goal at the one-yard line with 1:12 left, ending that excitement at Hastings College's Lloyd Wilson field.
Hastings did get a last-chance hail-mary pass from midfield after Alliance took a safety instead of punting from its own five yard line with six seconds left. Tiger quarterback Tanner Johnson's heave was broken up near the Bulldog goal line as time expired.
"That's been kind of the story of our offense. It has been one step forward, two steps back. I think we'll learn from it. We're going stay positive and we'll be fine," said HHS coach Erik Emerson, whose Tigers fell to 0-3.

Male and Female Disability Players of the Season
Gemma Hunter and Gary Spotswood were named Everton's Disability Players of the Season at the Club's 6th Annual Awards night.
Both Gemma and Gary are hearing impaired and are set to represent their countries at European Deaf Championships this summer.
Gemma, 23, is a midfield player and will represent the GB Women's team in Bulgaria.
She has been involved in Everton in the Community's deaf football programme for six years, who she also represents as a volunteer.
Gemma, from Norris Green, also works as a youth worker with the Merseyside Society for Deaf People (MSDP).
Her coach, Scott Black, said: "Gemma is so busy I don't know how she fits it all in. But she has worked really hard to improve as a player and also to get her fitness levels up to a really high standard. She is really determined and fully deserves both this award and her GB call up."
Gary is known as the best deaf goalkeeper in the country and heads to the Men's Euros in Denmark this July as a seasoned international.
He has also been involved with the programme for six years and is one of the most familiar faces around the team.
Black added: "Gary is a really physically fit lad. He is a big, strong boy and as well as being acknowledged as the best deaf keeper in the country, he is also a very good midfield player or striker.
"He is a real character, a very funny lad, but he has been known to have a moan at one or two of his teammates in the past!
"Again he is a really determined guy and a very worthy winner of this award."
The Male & Female Disability Awards were sponsored by Lookers.

LOUISVILLE (WHAS11) – Several businesses in Okolona are adding more security after several break-ins over the past week.
At least three stores off of Preston Highway were hit Monday morning. For one of the businesses, this was the second break-in to occur in the past week.
WHAS11's Anna Prendergast has a report from one of the stores that caught the robber on tape.
The guy who broke into Soap Suds Laundry and Cleaners on Preston Highway got away with some money, but the owners are hoping surveillance video will help catch him.
Around 7 a.m. on Monday, a man was caught on camera when he broke in the back door of Soap Suds Laundry and Cleaners in Okolona.
The man is seen walking in and looking around for a few seconds before heading for the cash register.
Veronica Eubank has owned the business for four years. She says she feels violated, hurt, and upset.
Eubank thinks the man might be a customer because he knew exactly where to find the cash register.
He's seen on the tape stealing cash and stuffing it in his backpack. For some reason, he also grabs a First Aid Kit and looks through it.
After he gets done at the register, he heads over to the office door. He uses a box cutter to cut the locked door in half, and crawls under.
The man gets away with a few hundred dollars in cash. For the Eubank family, the loss is devastating because every cent they make from this business counts.
Just a couple of blocks down Preston Highway, the manager at Aaron's Sales and Lease replaced the store's back door Monday morning after someone used a crow-bar to try and pry it open.
It was the second time in the past week that the store was hit. Two television sets were stolen during the first robbery.
Police are investigating all of the break-ins and hope the surveillance video will lead to some tips.

Stephanie Metz - When Craft is Art
Allison Currie 2013
I started getting into needle felting recently when I wanted to do sculpture without resorting to the expense of taking up ceramics. I have a history of an interest in how items from the craft world translate into the art world. So of course, I did some Googling to see if other artists had also gone this route. While most of what I found were (adorable) felted toys more in the crafts category, I came across an artist that blew me away and inspires me greatly.Fiber artist Stephanie Metz creates surreal and highly skilled needle felting sculptures featuring "overbred" domestic animals, organic structures in bones and flesh, and teddy bear anatomy.

WARREN, MINNESOTA (KFGO-AM) -- Scary moments in northwestern Minnesota's Marshall county when an underground natural gas line ruptured and caught fire. It happened around 6:30 a.m. Monday, a couple miles northwest of Warren.
Marshall County Emergency Manager Josh Johnston says when he left his house six miles away he could see the fire and could hear the rumble. He said the escaping gas sounded like a freight train.
Johnston says about a dozen residents living in homes in a two mile radius were evacauted. Most were allowed to return within a couple of hours.
It's not known what caused the rupture.
The gas line is owned by Viking Gas Transmission Company.

After the introduction of that "great" show TLC Extreme Couponing, and I use that term VERY, VERY loosely, there have been so many reports of unethical couponing happening all across the country. It really blows my mind how much people take the sensationalized aspects of television, and think that they can instantly do those things or that in fact they are even real life scenarios.
Don't get me wrong, I love couponing, and I love everything frugal shopping has done for my family's quality of life. You really at some point though have to ask yourself a question, are you couponing ethically? What do I mean about couponing ethically? Well if your gut is screaming at you that you are doing something wrong, then you probably are!
I am not one to get into the debate about how much of one type of product one household needs. When "Extreme Couponing" came out, there was a furor across the Internet asking why would one person need so much stuff. Names like "hoarder" among others were tossed around at the show's participants. My two cents, is it's nobody's business how much someone else buys or if they need it or not. I just think that a few basics should be covered. If you are going to buy that much, don't clear the shelves or make sure to special order from the store. Other than that the quantity you purchase is really a personal decision. You never know what that person intends with the product and frankly it's none of your beeswax :). Let them do their thing, and you do yours. As long as you shop ethically don't have to worry about anyone else!
The shelf clearing seemed to be the first ripple effect of the "Extreme Couponing" copy cats. The next one, have to say that I am truly shocked about. I had read some articles about people stealing newspapers for the coupon inserts. There was even a recent article of a woman arrested after asking the store's permission to take unsold papers. I read these articles and thought how sad, but never thought it would affect me.
I don't normally buy papers locally because only one store carries the Indianapolis Star, which is the only "local" paper worth buying. Plus the store that carries it is on the other side of town. Well this week was a good coupon week, so I went to grab some papers. I checked the regular newspaper rack. I saw the New York Times, USA Today, and a local free paper, but no papers that had coupons in it. I was bummed. I thought they had sold out since I was there in the afternoon. Just as a last ditch effort, I asked the lady at customer service if they happened to have papers anywhere else. To my surprise, she told me they had to keep the papers behind the counter because some lady had been STEALING the coupon inserts. She even had the audacity to say she didn't understand why it was stealing because people didn't want them anyway!
Ok, woh, stop the presses! It's not stealing???? These were papers that were not EVEN SOLD YET and still in the store! What blows my mind is that people don't seem to understand that all this trickles down hill. If newspapers don't get paid for their coupons, they will stop putting them in there at all. Where does that leave us?
I was lucky that I stopped to ask the customer service desk if they had more papers, but what about other people that just assumed, like I almost had, that they were sold out. Don't get me wrong, I think there is absolutely nothing wrong getting inserts for free if you do it ethically. Ask your neighbors if they use their coupons, check recycling centers, coordinate a coupon exchange. There are some many ways to score free coupons without the black mark on your karmic slate!
So to end my rant I compiled Crunchy's list of unethical couponing practices:
Using coupons for the wrong product: If it says a 6 oz jar, but it will scan for the 4 oz. that isn't just unethical it's coupon fraud. Trust me you don't wanna go there.
Stealing Newspapers: I don't care if it's out of your neighbor's driveway, abandoned houses, or the grocery store. This is definitely a karma no-no.
Copying printable internet coupons: These coupons are meant to be printed to the limit, and then that's it. If you need more you can always go to great coupon forums to trade for more. This again is coupon fraud, and I don't know about you I don't want Mr. Policeman on my doorstep.
Teaching others any of the above as a way to coupon: You may feel like you are doing nothing wrong, but eventually things like this roll down hill. That means less coupons and/or less stores that accept coupons. So if you are saving your family substantial amounts of money by couponing why would you jeopardize that, and on top of that why would you teach others to defraud the system too. Shame on you!
I don't get on a soapbox very often, but this one is something I am passionate about. I love couponing, and I love how much it saves my family, but if just a few bad apples continue to lie, cheat, and steal to save a dollar they are going to ruin the entire system for all of us. So what do you think about this? Do you think it's fair for a few to blatantly disregard the rules? Curious minds want to know.

Nature and Mode of Action of Hormones
One of the chemical messengers produced by endocrine glands, whose secretions are liberated directly into the bloodstream and transported to a distant part or parts of the body, where they exert a specific effect for the benefit of the body as a whole. The endocrine glands involved in the maintenance of normal body conditions are pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas, ovary and testis. However, these organs are not the only tissues concerned in the hormonal regulation of body processes. For example, the duodenal mucosa, which is not organized as an endocrine gland, elaborates a substance called secretin which stimulates the pancreas to produce its digestive juices. The placenta is also a very important hormone-producing tissue. See separate articles on the individual glands.
The hormones obtained from extracts of the endocrine glands may be classified into four groups according to their chemical constitution:
phenol derivatives, such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, thyroxine, and triiodothyronine
(2) proteins, such as the anterior pituitary hormones, with the exception of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), human chorionic gonadotropin, pregnant-mare-serum gonadotropin, and thyroglobulin
(3) peptides, such as insulin, glucagon, ACTH, vasopressin, oxytocin, and secretin
(4) steroids, such as estrogens, androgens, progesterone, and corticoids. Hormones, with a few exceptions like pituitary growth hormone and insulin, may also be classified as either tropic hormones or target-organ hormones. The former work indirectly through the organs or glands which they stimulate, whereas the latter exert a direct effect on peripheral tissues.
Chemical nature of hormones
most hormones belong to one of three major groups: proteins and
peptides, steroids (fat-soluble molecules whose basic structure is
a skeleton of four carbon rings), or derivatives of the amino acid
tyrosine, characterized by a 6-carbon, or benzene, ring. There are
some hormones, such as melatonin from the pineal gland and the
locally acting prostaglandins, which cannot be included in any of
these groups, but may share a number of their characteristics. The
glands which produce protein and peptide hormones are the
pituitary, certain cells of the thyroid, the parathyroids, and the
pancreas. Steroids are produced by the cortex or outer layer of the
adrenal gland and by the ovaries and testes. The tyrosine
derivatives are the thyroid hormones, and the catecholamines
(adrenaline and noradrenaline) which are produced in the medulla of
the adrenal glands.
Knowledge of the chemical nature of a hormone is important as it enables one to predict how the hormone is produced, how rapidly it can be released in response to a stimulus, in what form it circulates in the blood, how it acts, the time course of its effect, and the route of administration therapeutically.
Hormone action
The chemical
nature of the hormone also affects the mechanism of action. All
hormones act on cells by way of their 'receptors'. Each hormone has
its own receptor to which it binds, matching rather like a lock and
key. This is why hormones circulating throughout the body in the
blood may leave capillaries to enter the extracellular fluid of
many tissues, but act only on those cells which possess the
appropriate receptor. Proteins and peptides cannot enter the cell
and so act via cell membrane receptors, producing their effects by
'second messengers', which are activated in the cell as soon as the
hormone binds to the receptor. Thus peptide hormones can produce
quite rapid responses. Steroid and thyroid hormones, by contrast,
can enter the cell and bind to intracellular receptors, producing
their effects by stimulating the production of new proteins. There
is therefore a relatively long lag period before the response to
these hormones is seen.
produce a variety of responses throughout the body and may be
grouped according to their actions, although there is overlap
between the groups.
First there
are the metabolic hormones which control the digestion of food, its
storage and use. Such hormones include those produced by the
digestive tract, which control secretion of digestive juices and
activity of the muscle in the wall of the tract; also the hormones
which regulate blood glucose, namely insulin, (which lowers it),
and glucagon, growth hormone, the thyroid hormones, and cortisol,
which all raise it.
Second are
the hormones which regulate the composition of the blood, and hence
of all the body fluids. Excluding those that regulate the glucose
content, these are: aldosterone and atrial natriuretic
hormone (produced in the heart), which control the amount of
sodium in the blood; vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone, which
controls the amount of water; parathyroid hormone and vitamin D,
which raise blood calcium; and calcitonin, which lowers blood
calcium. It is perhaps surprising to learn that a vitamin can also
be a hormone, but it is similar in many ways to the steroid
hormones, and the active form is produced in one part of the body
for action an another. The vitamin D taken in the diet or formed in
the skin under the action of UV light is not the active form: this
is produced after modification takes place first in the liver and
then the kidney.
Next are the
stress hormones, primarily adrenaline and noradrenaline, which are
under the control of the autonomic nervous system: cortisol and a
number of the pituitary hormones are also involved in the response
to stress.
A further
group are those responsible for growth, development, and
reproduction. These include growth hormone itself, and the hormones
controlling ovarian and testicular function (luteinizing hormone,
LH, and follicular stimulating hormone, FSH) - all of which come
from the pituitary - and the hypothalamic hormones, which in turn
control these pituitary secretions. Included also are the steroid
hormones, produced by the ovaries (oestrogens and progesterone) and
testes (testosterone), and those hormones involved in birth and
lactation, chiefly oxytocin and prolactin.
The final major group includes those hormones that control other endocrine systems, and therefore interact with the other groups. The pituitary hormones adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and the gonadotrophic hormones LH and FSH control the release of some of the metabolic and stress hormones and of the reproductive hormones, whilst hypothalamic hormones in turn control pituitary function.

Commitment is a very important term for all organizations. Especially teacher's commitment is related with their self-effort to the quality of the education service. Most of the commitment research use Allen & Meyer scale. In Allen Meyer scale, commitment is defined with three dimensions: emotional commitment, normative commitment and continuance commitment. For this research continuance commitment will be focused to understand the relationship between employee's financial (credit loan and possession status) situation and their organizational commitment. It is assumed that especially financial burdens are the driver for continuance commitment. So from this view, it is questioned, if continuance is a kind of commitment or obligation.

Getting Started with CVs and Cover Letters Every graduate student needs a curriculum vitae, or CV Your CV represents your accomplishments and experience as an academic and helps to establish your professional image. Well before you apply for faculty positions, you will use your CV to apply for fellowships and grants, to accompany submissions for publications or conference papers, when being considered for leadership roles or consulting projects, and more. CV's are also used when applying for some positions outside academia, such as in think tanks or research institutes, or for research positions in industry. As you progress through graduate school, you will, of course, add to your CV, but the basic areas to include are your contact information, education, research experience, teaching experience, publications, presentations, honors and awards, and contact information for your references, or those people willing to speak or write on your behalf. Some formatting pointers: There is no single best format. Refer to samples for ideas, but craft your CV to best reflect you and your unique accomplishments. Unlike a resume, there is no page limit, but most graduate students' CVs are two to five pages in length. Your CV may get no more than thirty seconds of the reader's attention, so ensure the most important information stands out. Keep it concise and relevant! Be strategic in how you order and entitle your categories. The most important information should be on the first page. Within each category, list items in reverse chronological order.
CV Samples The Basics The curriculum vitae, also known as a "CV" or "vita," is a comprehensive statement of your educational background and your teaching and research experience. It is the standard representation of credentials within academia. The CV is only used when applying for academic positions in four-year institutions. Do NOT use a CV when applying to community colleges; use a resume instead. Tailor your CV to the specific positions to which you are applying. A CV submitted for a position at a teaching-focused liberal arts college will strongly emphasize teaching, whereas a CV for a position at researchintensive university will accentuate research. Position more relevant sections earlier in the CV. CV format can vary by field, so also seek disciplinary-specific advice from advisers, professors and others within your field. There are no length restrictions for CVs. Formatting Your CV must be well organized and easy to read. Choose an effective format and be consistent. Use bolds, italics, underlines, and capitalization to draw attention. List all relevant items in reverse chronological order in each section Strategically locate the most important information near the top and/or left side of the page. In general, place the name of the position, title, award, or institution on the left side of the page and associated dates on the right. Use a footer to include page numbers & your last name, to help the reader in case pages get separated.

I'm prety sure my family thinks I'm trying to turn my 2-year-old niece Abigail into a drag queen. First I tried to dress her as Priscilla Queen of the Dessert style flamingo , now I'm making disco balls out of her favorite Sesame Street character, Elmo.
Now, I should say, I'm normally too stuck up to make things with characters on them... but seeing as he is Abigail's favorite, and he is sort of a Muppet, I'll make an exception for Elmo. Plus, the little dude is starting to grow on me. Have you seen this?
After watching that video I can't imagine anyone not wanting something fabulous and Elmo like in their house. But, if you are still on the fence, consider the faceless Elmo pendant -- still pretty groovy.
- Paper lantern
- Tinsel Garland
- Hot Glue
- Craft Foam (for face--optional)
Not much of a tutorial on this one. The complicated part is figuring out how much tinsel you will need to cover the lantern. That's all math (read: that's all you). I can tell you though, that my 9' of tinsel stretched to cover a lantern with a 10" diameter. An extra 2' would have been nice, but I made it work. If you are going to order tinsel garland online, I would order a lot.
Behold! The perfect drag queen pendant lamp.
What? Too much?
Fine. Cut some simple face shapes out of craft foam and attach with hot glue.
Hard part is finding the tinsel in the off-season, but you can find it online. Had I thought ahead of time, I would have stocked up on tinsel after Xmas. How fun would it be to make a dozen of these for a party? I might have to order some gold and green and purple tinsel garland to wrap around lanterns for a Mardi Gras party. Fun!
PS: For all the parents of Elmo fanatics out there, did you know there is an indie film about the heart and soul of Elmo - Kevin Clash? Being Elmo is rolling through theaters right now--you should get a babysitter and take your butt to see it. So cool!
