Lots of final thoughts from the BellagioPosted on December 11th, 2008 – 6:57 PM
By La Velle
We're tired.
Four days of walking from the media room to the hotel lobby five times a day - with strategic stops at the elevator bank to stake out sources – has most of us worn down.
The winter meetings are over. The Yankees spent freely again. The Twins made no major moves, again. There's plenty of offseason left for the Twins to come up with a third baseman and eighth-inning help, so we'll see what happens.
Some thoughts
Twins GM Bill Smith said he's comfortable with going to spring training with Brian Buscher and Brendan Harris as a third base platoon. But rest assured they are still talking to teams about third basemen.
Talks with the Rockies about Garrett Atkins have slowed down for now but there's a chance the sides could get together again.
Seattle's Adrian Beltre has placed the Twins on his no-trade list. But I don't know how the Twins and Seattle can make a deal anyway. Beltre is going to walk after the 2009 season, which affects what the Twins are willing to give up in a deal. If the Twins don't find a third baseman before the season starts I wonder if it would be easier to make a half-season rental deal.
I think Kevin Kouzmanoff would be a good fit. I think Ty Wigginton would be a good option if all else fails.
Look for the Twins to keep talking with the Cubs about Mark DeRosa, too, now that Cubs GM Jim Hendry doesn't have to worry about Jake Peavy talk.
There are teams (Seattle, Philly, Colorado) that still need a corner outfielder, so Delmon Young might continue to see his name in trade rumors.
I wonder how large Boof Bonser looms in trade talks. He could be viewed as a low-risk mini-reclamation project for a team hungry for pitching.
The only reliever I've heard of who was attached to the Twins was Texas' Joaqiun Benoit – but that was shot down by a Twins official. Does Bill Smith have something up his sleeve here?
Some highlights
It was cool to see a few more players around the winter meetings. I guess that's what happens when you have it in Vegas.
In addition to Twins players Nick Punto and Joe Nathan, Ben Sheets, Milton Bradley, Jack Wilson and Derek Jeter were seen. Torii Hunter lit up the lounge when he stopped by Tuesday night.
There were many noteworthy former players here too. Eric Davis and Ellis Burks looked ready for a camp invite. Michael Tucker hasn't played since 2006 and WAS in Vegas looking for a camp invite. George Brett, Frank Robinson and Al Kaline all commanded attention….
I'm finding out more baseball people are reading my blog. After writing about how great a prospect Jason Donald is, I was assailed by a scout from a NL team who disagreed.
I hopped on the elevator Tuesday to begin my work day, only to have it stop on the next floor to pick up Andy MacPhail, the former Twins and Cubs exec who now runs the Orioles. We began to chat.
"I'm trying to find out what the club I cover is going to do for a third baseman," I said.
"I read your stuff," MacPhail said. "Mark DeRosa? That would be a good pick-up for the Twins."…
Ran into a few Upper Midwesterners during the week. One woman was embarrassed to approach me and had her friend ask who I was. Turns out her name was Meghan <sp?>, who works for the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks and was with other staff members at the meetings. They listen to KFAN all the time and, I hope, read the StarTribune. Anyway, hello Meghan and the rest of the Redhawks staff.
Jeff Passan of Yahoo! gets big props. He made an unannounced run Tuesday night to In-N-Out burger and busted into the media room with 35 burgers and a tubful of fries. Talking about lifting spirits! Goodness, we're so easy….
By the way, my boss mentioned the words, `Per,' and `Diem,' to me the day he found out the meetings were in Las Vegas. Well, I've only had dinner twice this week – and one of those times a buddy gave his credit card to the waitress without me knowing and picked up the whole tab! The media this week wore out a trail to a sandwich shop near the poker room to get some grub. Eating well at the winter meetings is hard to do….
Uber blogger Aaron Gleeman on Tuesday, like he's done before, sat in on Ron Gardenhire's press conference. He also joined us for the daily briefing with Twins GM Bill Smith and got a taste of what it's like to try to get information from someone who doesn't want any of his cards on the table. Gleeman was nowhere to be seen when Wednesday's briefing took place…
I spotted Twins manager Ron Gardenhire in a haberdashery at the hotel. He under packed for the trip and needed to buy a jacket to wear the next day at the annual media-managers lunch. He purchased one sweater and one jacket that cost more than my hotel bill and airfare to Vegas. The jacket was tailored within two hours.
Gardy looked sharp the next day as we shared a table with Royals manager Trey Hillman and the Royals writers. It was like a homecoming for me. Kansas City Star beat writer Bob Dutton was my high school editor at the Star when I broke into the business in 1989 (I was responsible for him running out of red ink). MLB.com reporter Dick Kaegel was the Star's Royals beat writer then and later helped me learn the ropes my first year on the Royals beat in 1995.
While eating, the sad state of the newspaper industry came up. And Phil Miller of the Pioneer Press produced the line of the day.
"This may be the first year that the writers have worse job security than the managers," Miller said….
I'll still monitor Twins news, but I'm on my own dime here after tonight. I'm switching hotels and laying low for a couple days – as well as one can lay low in Las Vegas.
Check this out for one person's take of the winter meetings.

Dried Strawberries
Certified: Gluten-Free Kosher
One of our most delicious dried fruit treats, Dried Strawberries are a fan favorite! Excellent for cereals, muffins, cakes and snacks. These dried strawberries are really sweet and moist... and oh sooooo good!
I (Jeffrey) absolutely love these dried strawberries, but they are super sweet and do have added sugar. If you are looking for the strawberries found in cereal boxes, then you might want freeze-dried strawberries, which have no added sugar and are crunchy instead of chewy.
Health Tips
2. When moms are planning to have children, strawberries provide needed nutrients. Eight medium strawberries provide 30 grams of folate per cup of sliced fruit. Folate has been shown to reduce the chance of fetal neural tube birth defects such as spina bifida.
3. Eight medium strawberries provide 96 milligrams of vitamin C or 160 percent of the recommended daily intake. That's more vitamin C than one medium orange! Vitamin C keeps kids' teeth and gums healthy, aids in healing cuts and scrapes, and helps the body resist infection. It's also a potent antioxidant that has been associated with reduced risk of certain kinds of cancer.
4. One serving of dried strawberries contains 3 grams of dietary fiber. A diet high in fiber can have benefits throughout life. Dietary fiber has well-known health benefits such as lowering blood cholesterol and promoting a healthy digestive system. This in turn may decrease the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer.
5. Strawberries have only 50 calories per serving and no cholesterol or saturated fats, making them a great healthy snack or addition to any meal.
6. Vitamin C: Analyses of the first, second, and third National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES-I, NHANES-II and NHANES-III) correlated higher vitamin C intakes with lower death rates from cardiovascular disease (CVD), lower prevalence of CVD, and reduced risk of angina. Strawberries provide 94 mg of vitamin C per cup of sliced fruit--more than 150% of the Daily Value.
7. Folate reduces serum levels of homocysteine, a substance that has been observed to be an independent risk factor for CVD. Even a very small elevation of homocysteine is estimated to increase CVD risk by 60% in men and 50% in women. Strawberries provide about 30 grams of folate per cup of sliced fruit.
8. Dietary fiber - both soluble and insoluble - is considered by the American Heart Association to be important for heart health. Epidemiological studies have reported that people who eat higher amounts of total fiber have lower risk of cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
9. Antioxidants reduce the oxidation of LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol, one of the critical steps in the development of CVD. Science has demonstrated that oxidation of LDL greatly accelerates several steps in the process of atherosclerosis, the build-up of fatty lesions or "plaque" on artery walls. A recent study showed that a highly concentrated strawberry extract inhibited oxidation of human LDL by as much as 86%.
10. Certain flavonoids that occur in strawberries, including quercetin, kaempferol and anthocyanins, have been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation, an abnormal "clumping" of the blood particles responsible for clotting. These flavonoids appear to slow the clotting process, thereby decreasing the tendency to form thrombi and reducing the risk of stroke.

"I have been very happy with every order I have placed with nuts.com. I just ordered the whole wheat fig bars for the first time and I was very surprised how awesome they tasted. Way better than anything at the grocery store! I also buy my cacao nibs and chia seeds here. Oh, don't forget the dried strawberries! Tastes like candy!!!!"
Sharon, Hill, NH April 4, 2014
"Just got my order...5 pounds of dried strawberries to feed an addiction I have to them lol! I mix them with roasted and salted pistachios, almonds and cashews and it's my go-to snack. Had tried berries from two other sources. They were good, but recently found out the company I work for has been buying the snack mix with the strawberries in it from Nuts.com. That's where I got the addiction...every time I walked through our spa, I stole all the berries. Anyway, these are the best of the berries I have tried...shocked at how big and plump they are, and tasty too. Will probably place my orders with my employer in the future. Lightening fast shipping...a good thing because I've been out of them for days..."

"I received these strawberries as a sample with the spicy pumpkin seeds I ordered for my fiancé (which were awesome) and I have to say they were AMAZING! I have never been a fan of dried fruit before but I would order these in a heartbeat. Do not waste your time ordering the sample because you will eat them all up before you know it. Go ahead and get the pound-you won't regret it. The strawberries are enormous. They are jam packed with flavor and so tasty. :)"
Darryl, Fort Wayne, Indiana February 13, 2014
"This was the first time I had ever eaten dried strawberries. They are so delicious it made me think I was eating candy, so I shared with my co-workers. They loved the fruit also, maybe they will order something too. I have always had positivity from your company in regards to me receiving my fruit and candy. Im sure I will be ordering other items. Thank you, Im so glad I found you;-)"

Written by:
A perfect specimen as I live and breathed,
Bespelled by the enchantment she weaved
Bowed lips serene smile,
Baby blue eyes that twinkle and beguile.
My partner tried to discourage me,
Of falling too deeply.
But her raven hair beckons my caress,
She was the only one I wanted to possess.
Her limbs supple and pale,
She was a 10 on the Richter scale.
Careful with craft of trade,
The make-up and hair artistically displayed.
She lay still as I created my magical touch,
Just my kind of gal not talking too much.
For her eyes I choose a pale blue,
That brought out her coloring true.
Her bone structure perfectly defined,
Stepping back to critique my design,
I painted her lips crimson red,
and thought to myself such a shame she's dead.
Her limbs rigor induced,
Even in death built seduced.
I being a mortician could see,
Essentially professional I had to be.
Her hair a deep raven black,
I gently pulled it back.
Leaving it to fall across one perfect shoulder,
All the time thinking I want to hold her.
Her lips beckon one chaste kiss,
I knew I would surely find bliss.
Cold lips so bittersweet,
Sending a jolt to the heels of my feet.
If I would make love to this magnificent queen
Would I be known as morbidly obscene?
My professionalism won out,
After all finding beauty in death is what my job is about.
Readying her for her family's viewing,
But still sad I would not be wooing.
Later that day………..
Awe again another to prepare,
My heart lost in despair.
When she was brought through the double doors,
My aching heart screams I am yours.
Her open eyes were a jade green,
With candy apple lips so gently serene.
Her hair a crown of red,
Such a shame she's dead...............

"Well, I guess I was kinda new to being around humans before. And now I've seen a lot more, gotten to know people, seen what they're capable of and I guess I just realize how amazingly screwed up they all are. I mean, really, really screwed up in a monumental fashion. And they have no purpose that unites them, so they just drift around, blundering through life until they die. Which they know is coming, yet every single one of them is surprised when it happens to them. They're incapable of thinking about what they want beyond the moment. They kill each other, which is clearly insane, and yet, here's the thing. When it's something that really matters, they fight. I mean, they're lame morons for fighting. But they do. They never… they never quit. And so I guess I will keep fighting, too."
Anya. Because I love her and she's gorgeous
and I can apparently get 50 points in my big bang for drawings.
What can't we face if we're together?

Leon Croce's restaurant hasn't served a meal in years. But legions of Lodians still remember the quality food, extensive menu, and the man whose passion for the work fueled each dinner service.
Mr. Croce died Oct. 30, 2012, at age 90. His restaurant, Croce's Cafe off Highway 99, was for many years a Lodi landmark, a culinary destination for diners far and wide — and a reflection, some say, of a more gracious and genial time.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Governor Scott Walker is set to give his third State of the State address Tuesday evening. The speech before a joint meeting of the Legislature is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
As Governor Walker starts his third year in office, he's said he won't take on anything that would create large protests or distract from his goal to create 250,000 jobs by the end of next year.
Walker is expected to talk about his priorities for this year. There will be more details when he releases his state spending plan in February.
Walker has said he wants to focus on income tax cuts, school reform, workforce development and creating jobs.
Political observers have noted that Walker has stepped out of the national spotlight recently, after taking center stage during the collective bargaining dispute. Some speculate he's trying to moderate his image as he moves toward re-election or a national political run in 2014.
Democrats and other Walker critics say his tenure has been a failure because he's nowhere near meeting his 2010 campaign pledge to create 250,000 private sector jobs.

7 Hot Stocks on Traders' Radar
State Street Corp.
Nearest Resistance: $44Nearest Support: $39 Catalyst: Earnings Another earnings name today is State Street Corp. (STT), the $20 billion trust bank whose clients are predominantly other financial institutions. State Street reported numbers yesterday that were largely in-line with estimates, posting a 7% increase over 2010's fourth quarter earnings. While shares gapped down hard yesterday on the news, they're being bolstered today (along with the rest of the industry) by Bank of America's (BAC) swing to profitability this morning. State Street's bounce off of $39 support yesterday was a positive signal (it means that shares are able to catch a bid in spite of selling pressures), but yesterday's capitulation is still a major factor that traders should be watching. If shares can make their way above $42, shareholders should feel much more comfortable about upside in this stock.

(09/27/12) - Stores are expected to add hundreds of thousands of jobs across the nation and some of those can be found in Mid-Michigan.
Walmarts across the country along with several other nationwide chains are ramping up their staff for the holiday shopping season.
In preparation for the busiest time of the year, Toys R Us announced it will hire 45,000 seasonal employees to staff stores and distribution centers. They're hiring 5,000 more than last year.
Kohl's department store is also hiring more than 52,000 workers - that's also up from last year. Store officials say that's on average about 41 employees per store.
Walmart will add 50,000 people to their workforce for the holiday shopping season. They also will offer more hours for their current associates.
Jeremy Anthony of Flint has been looking for months for a steady job. "I see more doors starting to opening up for me so I mean I'm not going to panic, if I keep working hard at it, it will work out."
He's searching the web Thursday for new opportunities like most of the people at Michigan Works in Flint.
Ruth Johnson has experience in customer service a temporary position during the holiday season would help out a lot. "I'm looking for anything, I'm working at the pickly factory right now and it's only seasonal."
Gail Bowman is a Career Alliance coordinator at Michigan Works she said more people have come to rely on seasonal employment to get them through the year. "People are desperate and anything they can get right now is acceptable we don't see a lot of people shying away from it because of the need."
Jeremy Anthony adds he'll send in his resume and hope for the best. "I was told it can lead up to something permanent, I'm trying, trying everywhere. Just don't give up, nothing is going come to you if you don't keep trying."
Industry experts say overall the increase in hiring this year is due to predicted increase in sales.
Dozens of people are searching for a job at Career Alliance in Flint. Those who run the center say more and more people turn to seasonal work to help them get by and it's an opportunity that could lead to more.For more information, visit the store websites below:

Newly Diagnosed Patients:
Choosing your doctor/cancer center
One of the most important decisions you will make is choosing a doctor who specializes in myeloma, called a hematologist-oncologist. He or she will coordinate your care throughout the course of the disease.
There are several ways to go about finding and choosing a hematologist-oncologist. Depending on your health insurance plan, you may need to get a referral from your family doctor, usually referred to as your primary care physician. Usually, your primary care physician will know one or more hematologist-oncologists in your area who specialize in treating multiple myeloma. Or, go directly to your health insurance company and ask them for a list of hematologist-oncologists who are part of your health insurance plan.
In addition, several national groups' websites can provide the names of hematologist-oncologist in your area.

The drive to strengthen workers' rights is one of the most important ever undertaken by an American administration
Hundreds of thousands of workers are being cheated by U.S. employers who blatantly violate the laws that are supposed to guarantee workers decent wages, hours and working conditions.
That's been going on for a long time, but rarely as extensively as it was during the administration of George W. Bush. Thankfully, Bush is gone. And thankfully, President Obama and his outstanding Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis, have this month launched a major campaign to try to overcome the very serious damage of the past.

In Japantown yesterday, pet owners walked small dogs dressed in mini kimonos to the beat of taiko drums. The festivities were on account of the 43rd annual Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival, one of the state's largest celebrations of Japanese culture. The Sapporo beer gardens lubricated sale of T shirts and bento boxes, and Safeway had erected a pop up grocery store near the main stage.
But in the basement of the Kabuki hotel, one could follow makeshift signs to a cultural display without brand names and ID checks. Small meeting rooms held samurai swords and their aficionados, traditional paper doll creations and creators. The Cherry Blossom Festival had created this peaceful forum for an array of Japanophile collecters and crafters.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
While I understand whats being said, I personally like the randomness of the "Tag! Your it!" phase of encounters. It keeps the fights from being overly choreographed, and makes you think on your feet.
Anuberak's spikes are on me, I have to kite it through the ice. I'm melee, so I cant just turn around and start DPS'ing right away when the spikes leave me, so I have to make sure that I can get back to where the boss is positioned. Intervene, heroic leave, charge: with 3 key strokes I'm back on the boss and I'm excited because I didn't screw up.
Patchwork, Kologarn, Baleroc, Staghelm - those fights are relatively boring and are executed like a choreographed dance, even if that dance includes you standing still dpsing for 4 minutes.
The randomness is good for the encounters as long as it can be worked with. If its a "hey - your going to die in 55 seconds no matter what happens! Sucks to be you" mechanic, then yeah, thats no good. But if its a "your going to die in 55 seconds unless you run around and touch the orb then play paticake with my chimp" then that can be worked with. You teach each raider (shouldnt be that hard or else they prolly shouldn't be raiding" to watch for the debuff, show them where the orb, and tell them how paticake goes and let them experience it for a handful of wipes.
Watch some vids, experience the fight a few times, and if you still cant seem to master the mechanic, maybe you shouldn't be in the raid?

Could Trade Messages Help Unravel Madoff Fraud?
April 27, 2009
As law enforcement agencies work to untangle the $65 billion Ponzi scheme operated by Bernard Madoff, the trading technology of his firm's broker-dealer arm could potentially offer a window into the fraudulent activities.
Madoff last month pleaded guilty to defrauding investors through his firm's asset management unit. The investigation that has been underway since his actions came to light in December is a complicated, multi-agency affair, and details have been slow to emerge. It is not yet clear whether or to what extend the illicit activity extended to Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities' market-making business, which is being probed by the Justice Department. That unit, which had a reputation for cutting-edge technology, has been shut down, although Boston-based broker-dealer Castor Pollux Securities has offered to buy its assets for as much as $15.5 million.
According to industry sources, a state-of-the-art trading system--particularly one that uses the FIX protocol to submit pre-trade indications of interest and execute transactions--could be used to perpetrate fraudulent trades. Records of those transactions could be maintained or replaced with other trades, either phony or legitimate. By the same token, the absence of such records could be deemed suspicious. The DOJ is not commenting on its investigation.
FIX Logs
FIX, the global standard for buy-side-to-sell-side communications in equities, automatically creates trade records as part of its functionality, obviating the need for a separate recordkeeping mechanism. "FIX logs would contain the results of every execution, including the security, price and identification of the counterparty," said Jim Northey, co-chair of the FIX Protocol Ltd. (FPL) Americas regional committee. A firm could disable logging, he noted, "but FIX sits in front of order routing and trading systems. The assumption is that transactions would persist there."
Unless they are using the protocol for high-frequency applications, "almost everybody" saves the FIX log, said Northey, principal of consultancy LaSalle Technology Group. A longtime FIX consultant who asked not to be identified added that "most firms I work with archive these log files for a specified period of time."
Since FIX 2.7 rolled out in 1993 the protocol has included an optional field, applicable to both order and execution messages, that is commonly populated with the name of the trader involved, according to Scott Atwell, co-chair of the FPL technical committee and head of FIX connectivity at American Century Investments.
"I think FIX logs could be important in trying to determine what actual trading took place," added Northey.
Madoff built its own FIX engine in the 1990s, which was then considered a difficult achievement. Homegrown FIX connectivity was not only considered more problematic, but also less transparent.
In 2004, the firm began using FIX technology from Cameron Systems. In an interview with Securities Industry News that year, Liz Weintraub, former head of information technology at Madoff Securities, said that the firm could no longer keep up with its client-testing needs and opted to sign on with Cameron, whose FIX engine was then viewed as among the fastest and most scalable.
In 2006, Cameron was acquired by Orc Software; whether Madoff was still using the technology at the time of its blowup could not be confirmed.
If trader log files or their equivalent did not exist at Madoff, it likely would have been a red flag to the regulators that something was amiss. But were regulators looking?

World's best mom? Researchers from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute observed this deep-sea octopus brooding eggs for over four years—longer than any known animal. Watch this extreme parenting in action!
How do you display deep-sea cephalopods like this vampire squid? It takes a big ship, a lot of scientists, and a robot. Learn how we do it, with the help of our colleagues at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, in our latest podcast.

We have a new visitor from the deep in our Tentacles special exhibition: the cock-eyed squid!
True to its name, this squid has two differently-sized eyes, one much larger than the other. Scientists think the larger eye detects faint light that filters down from above, and the smaller one spots bioluminescence generated in the deep.
Like a giant strawberry, the cock-eyed squid's bright red body is covered in tiny spots. But instead of seeds, these spots are photophores—organs that produce light. Photophores can be fine-tuned to match light from above, allowing the cock-eyed squid to become nearly invisible, or may be used to attract mates and curious prey.
Thanks to a collaboration with our partners at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), you can be one of the first people in the world to get eye-to-eye with this incredible animal while we help MBARI scientists learn more about a little-known deep-sea species. Like many cephalopods, the cock-eyed squid can be fragile and short-lived, so we encourage you to visit soon and check it out!

Deep-sea squid: elusive, mysterious and parental? While some squid in the open ocean release their eggs to drift in the water column, our research partners at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute have discovered a deep-sea squid (Bathyteuthis berryi) that broods her eggs in a sheet attached to her body! It's the second known instance of parental care in squid. Watch MBARI's latest video for some amazing footage!
The Coolest Animals You've Never Seen: How a "Dream Team" of Scientists from the Aquarium and MBARI is Displaying Deep-Sea Cephalopods
From the vampire squid to the flapjack octopus, deep-sea cephalopods come in an amazing variety of shapes and sizes. Yet few humans have seen them alive.
Until now.
In the last month, we've displayed them as part of our "Tentacles" exhibit—thanks to a collaboration with our partner institution, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). "MBARI has some of the best deep-sea biologists in the world," says Aquarist Bret Grasse. "And they've been working with these animals for years. They're great at finding and collecting deep-sea animals, and we're good at keeping them alive and sharing them with the public."
A mission like no other
The first challenge is to find the animals. Enter Stephanie Bush, postdoctoral fellow and expert on deep-sea cephalopods. She combed through MBARI's database of ROV (remotely operated vehicle) dives, looking for locations in Monterey Canyon where deep-sea octopuses and squid were likely to be found.
"Many of these creatures are not rare in the deep sea," she says. "They're just rarely collected."
The next challenge was keeping the animals alive after they reached the surface. The deep sea is almost pitch black, with crushing pressure, near-freezing water, little oxygen, and sparse food.
"We do the best we can to replicate an animal's natural environment," says Bret. "In this case, we used data on oxygen concentrations, water temperature, and salinity collected by MBARI's ROVs to help us figure out what conditions the animals need."
When it came to deciding what to feed the animals, the team looked at studies of the gut contents of dissected animals. In the case of the vampire squid, MBARI researchers recently discovered that they use a sticky filament to collect "marine snow." To replicate this, our aquarists filled a blender with chilled seawater, fish eggs, krill, and bits of moon jelly, creating a slurry that they offered to the vampire squid in squirts from a turkey baster.

But keeping the animals alive was only half the battle—our aquarists also had to figure out how to display them. Inevitably, the animals are exposed to light (even though the exhibit is in a dimmed room) and occasional camera flashes (even though there are signs prohibiting this), as well as noise and vibrations from people.
In some cases, this means that deep-sea cephalopods only remain on exhibit for a few days at a time, before being returned to a nice dark, quiet tank in a back room. As Bret put it, "We're always balancing the public's desire to see these animals with what we think is best for the animals."
The collaboration has allowed MBARI researchers to make new discoveries.
"When you have an animal in a tank, you can see little details in the shapes and behavior that you might not notice in video," Stephanie says. "For example, of the fourteen flapjack octopuses we collected, every single one was a mature female. We have no idea why this is, or where the males are."
Stephanie is especially excited because one of these female octopuses laid eggs behind the scenes.
"Before this, no one even knew what the eggs of this octopus looked like," she said. "Now we know that they lay tiny little eggs on rocks, and then cover them with sand." Stephanie is hoping that the eggs hatch, but no one knows how long this might take.
Overall, it's been an amazing collaboration—with an important benefit.
"I think it's great that we're inspiring a ton of people to care about the deep sea," says Bret. "It's an area that we rarely see, but which is the largest habitat on Earth."
Now on Exhibit: Two Rare Deep-Sea Cephalopods!
We just added two striking deep-sea animals to our Tentacles special exhibition: the vampire squid and the Japetella octopus. The vampire squid has never been exhibited at any public aquarium before. Both were collected with the help of our sister organization, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI).
The vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) is an ancient animal that lives in deep tropical and temperate waters—like the Monterey submarine canyon. Despite its sinister appearance—and its name, which means "vampire squid from hell"—this animal is a scavenger. It lives on "marine snow" that rains down from above: a mixture of poop, dead animal parts and mucus.
The Japetella octopus (Japetella sp.) is a beautiful animal that lives in the midwater realm, hundreds of feet below the surface but well above the sea floor. It has chromatophores that enable it to go from see-through with spots to almost a solid orange color. MBARI's remotely operated vehicles have observed them on video both in Monterey Bay and—even more often—on expeditions to the Gulf of California.
Like many cephalopods, these animals can be fragile and short-lived, so we encourage you to visit soon and check them out!
They're in the exhibit where we recently housed two flapjack octopus, which we've now moved behind the scenes.

Killer sponges! Sounds like creatures from a B-grade horror movie, doesn't it? In fact, they thrive in the lightless depths of the deep sea. Learn more about the latest finds from our sister organization, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI).

"If you look in the manual, I'm sure it will show you how to mount it."
"Oh, I'm gonna get on top of it in a second."
—Mr. X
I was going to write a nice review about the Insignia portable DVD player, but I don't know if I can give it a higher compliment than that.
My ole pal Charlie Kondek at Hass MS&L sent me the 10.2-inch model to check out, and I have to say, it is sa-weeet! First of all, the entire casing is this matte-black material that is not slippery (critical if you have children), doesn't show fingerprints (critical if you have children), is lightweight (critical if you have children), and has a nice big viewing screen more than one person can see at a time (critical if you have children).
Phil picked it up this morning from where it had been charging on my yellow chair (critical if you have children) and slipped in a DVD. I heard noises and asked over my shoulder what it was.
"It's Monsters, Inc. (critical if you have children). You don't have to come over here; I'll just show you." And he swiveled that screen around to face me. Whoa.
"Oh, you want me to hold it up?" He folded the screen back onto the panel, facing up, and proffered a view. Cooool. With enough duct tape, I could slap that on the back of my car seat and get the kids to shut up once in a while. The screen swivels and flips around just like my digital camera's viewer. Only it's TEN INCHES. *nods* That's right.
Ohhh, wait. He said he just compared it to his PowerBook screen and said that it was just as good. This is a MAC, people. He never says anything is as good as a Mac. Of course, the Insignia only does one thing, but still. You don't have to buy a PowerBook to watch DVDs. Not anymore.
So! Father's Day is coming up! Buy one! For each of your children's fathers! Go crazy! It's on sale at Best Buy!
Although I don't see why we couldn't have run this promotion for MOTHER'S DAY! It's not like mothers don't have a need to shut the kids up! Hell, a mom would buy one for EACH of her children and hang it from a stick connected to a helmet so it's always in front of their darling little faces. And one for the ceiling above each twin bed! I'll glue one to my monitor right now! I love it so!
Or I would, if Phil would give it back. He's laughing at Mike and Sully while I work. Or will work when I post this. Still. He shares everything with me, but now he wants to know how much he can get one for.
"Why do you need one? We have one." He stared.
Oh, I get it.

Peaceful Wedding Weekend Menu
Pamper the parents of the bride with a relaxing dinner or brunch away from the fray. (Serves 4-6)
Be the first to rate itRate and Review Read Reviews (0)
Frazzled family members need a timeout to sit back and enjoy an evening of serenity. We suggest a relaxed gathering away from the big event, preferably in the company of just a few close friends. Sit them down for a simply delicious meal, with some quiet jazz and a bottle of wine.
Or, the day after the wedding, serve a luscious brunch. Scrumptious Apricot-Stuffed French Toats and Maple-Pecan Bacon will brighten their morning as well as yours. They'll return home well-fortified and ready to enjoy some peace and quiet.

On Wednesday, 1 October 2014 at 10 am Pacific Time (17:00 UTC), ArenaNet will be upgrading the wiki to MediaWiki software version 1.23.2. The maintenance is expected to last up to 90 minutes and the wiki will be unavailable during its duration. We're sorry about the inconvenience and thank you very much for your patience.
From Guild Wars Wiki
An effect is a visual representation of a skill's lasting results in the effects monitor. Most effects are applied by activating a skill, such as enchantments, hexes, shouts, stances and wards. Other effects are applied by different game mechanics, like environment effects, blessings, disguises, title effects and conditions.
[edit] Causes for effects to end
There are several game mechanics that can cause effects to end:
- The duration of the effect expires.
- A bundle created by an item spell is dropped.
- The effect is removed by a removal skill.
- The affected creature dies.
- The caster dies. This will only end maintained enchantments and some hexes that affect the caster (e.g. Life Transfer).
- The same effect is renewed or reapplied, usually because a skill is activated again before the duration expires. Some effects renew themselves on specific conditions, like Lyssa's Aura.
- The effect has a specific condition that will cause it to end, e.g. Illusion of Weakness or Dark Escape.
Some effects cause further actions when they end, e.g. Patient Spirit. Unless specified in the skill description, these usually trigger on all ends except renewal; exceptions to this rule are noted on the respective skill pages.
[edit] Notes
|The Guild Wars 2 Wiki also has an article on Effect.
- All effects are internally implemented as skills, with the possible exception of the hard mode icon.
- Not all skills with lasting results have a corresponding effect, skills like Fire Storm are instead visualized in the game world.
[edit] See also
- For a list of existing effects which are not already available as skills, see Category:Effects.

Jan/Feb DESSERT Cookbook of the MONTH Suggestions OR Should We Skip January?
- oakjoan Dec 24, 2008 12:56 PM
I realize that this is very late, but too much is going on in everybody's life right now....soooo:
I'm opening up discussion for our next COTM. Do you think we're all a bit weary of desserts (as well as almost everything else) after the holidays? Shall we take a month off? Should the next DCOTM be Feb/March?
Please put any ideas you have for the next book as well as comments about taking a break in January. If you think the DCOTM should silently fade away altogether, please also put in your 2 cents.
I say take Jan. off. Despite my foot stomping about the self-rising cake flour, there is still a lot in the Nigella book I'd like to try. Between that and the inevitable desire to eat less after the holidays, I think it would be good to take the month off (and yes, it is kind of pathetic that I'm typing this on Christmas morning - Merry Christmas everyone!).
re: LulusMom
plus there are plenty of dessert recipes in the two regular COTM books. My vote is to skip it.too.
re: jen kalb
me three for Feb/March - Sunday Suppers has a million sweets to make....
Thanks all, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Yeah, I agree about skipping Jan. After being waitlisted for the current book for weeks, I finally got it last week! I'm not sure how much baking I'll do from it in Jan. though since we're going to Spain for 2.5 weeks.
Thanks for taking the lead on all this, oakjoan. Happy New Year to everyone!
Can we put THE ART AND SOUL OF BAKING on the list -- if not for this month, then for a future month? I received it for Xmas and it looks really great!
I'm for skipping January.
Malgieri's THE MODERN BAKER is one I intend to give some time to and also BAKED
I don't care when it starts, but I second nominations for both Baked and The Art and Soul of Baking since I just received both of these for Christmas!
I would suggest The Secrets of Baking by Sherry Yard and Desserts by the Yard, also by Sherry Yard. I've been baking out of The Secrets of Baking lately and everything has been great. She has a chapter for all different basic concepts, like caramel, curd or pate a choux, and then variants on those. So you get the basics and then things in the same "family." And the newer book has recipes from all the different places she has worked and looks really great.
