~George Eliot
The Mill on the Floss, 1860
The soul of man
Is like the water:
It comes from heaven,
It returns to heaven,
And down again
To earth must go,
Ever changing.
When from the high,
Sheer wall of rock
The pure stream gushes,
It sprays its lovely vapor
In billowing clouds
Towards the smooth rock,
And lightly received,
It goes enshrouded,
Softly hissing
Down to the deep.
Cliffs tower,
Opposing its fall.
Annoyed, it foams
Step by step
Into the abyss.
In a flat bed
It slinks down the grassy vale,
And in the waveless lake
All the stars
Feast on their likeness.
Wind is the wave's
Handsome suitor;
Wind stirs up from the depths
Foaming billows.
Soul of man,
How like to the water!
Fate of man,
How like to the wind!
Carl Jung
Psychological Aspects of the Mother Archetype (1938)
They can be like a sun, words.
They can do for the heart
what light can
for a field.

Something I'd also like to see is Arenas for all level brackets, and being able to level while doing so. Then, take it a step further and let people get random members for an unrated Arena match for xp/honor (and a smaller conquest reward, perhaps). While I don't expect things to be balanced for all of those early brackets for Arena, it could really help get people adjusted to PvP in Arenas if they're able to level while doing it, and doing so with other people. Nothing helps PvP like experience. Besides, with the new Battletag feature coming out, it'll make finding potential partners for future Arenas/BGs that much easier.
Course, it is just a pipe dream.
Just to expand on the leveling in PvP:
Increase the health-to-damage ratio.
EVERY DPS spec is able to do exceptionally well when not being trained in low level PvP. Trust me, I've literally done all of them at level 10 in full heirlooms. No class is OP or underpowered. (Hunters commonly excel though because they can maintain auto attack DPS while moving, plus dumping focus then kiting while it regens.)
If health was doubled (and melee had a distance closing ability at 10 that's usable IN COMBAT), then low level PvP would be completely balanced.
As for leveling speed? It's fine. I do BGs because they're fun. When I level I have to worry about gear again which means I have to take a break from PvP
(Oh.. maybe add more low level PvP honor gear? like level 24 versions? and in slots without heirlooms?)
So, lazy blizzard, want a simple guide to fixing low level PvP forever?
-Warriors: Charge in combat at 10. Shield Wall at 10.
-Hunters: Add Deterrence at 10.
-Druids: Feral Charge at 10 or sprint (which they may have, I don't remember). Regrowth at 10.
-Paladins: Judge-at-a-distance-and-get-a-mini-sprint at 10. Flash of Light at 10.
-Warlocks: Increase Drain Life's effectiveness by two, or give the Void Walker shield at 10.
-Monks: Distance closer at 10, fast heal at 10.
-Priests: They're fine. Stronger Bubbles? Make sure they have flash heal at 10.
-Rogues: Fine. Shadowstep is great. Vanish at 10 would be epic.
-Mages: Fine. Mage Shield a bit stronger and at 10 would be nice. Arcane does sick dmg.
-DK: Coolbeans.
-Shaman: Healing Surge at 10. Frost Shock 10. Moving for lightning bolt would help a lot, but glyphs are fairly early.
TL;DR - some sort of gap closer/maker for each class, hybrid healers need a fast heal, boost health, a damage taken reducing CD or bubble helps a LOT. Perfect Balance.
No. Part of the whole deal is not to load up newer players with everything in their tool kit at once. I know you are just asking for a gap closer, but then I am sure everyone would like something else. As it is, they really borked the mage leveling. We get so much early on now (save for Blizzard or any decent armor) that we go level 58-68 without learning much (and like 6 levels without learning any spells except a teleport). It may not be a popular decision, but I don't PvP until 14. It is unfair and it is unbalanced. Do you want them balancing the game out at lvl 10 or max level? We can't have it both ways. We just can't. Frankly, I don't think they should waste the time on balancing the game at the lowest end of the spectrum either.
Khristalyn said...
Yes Yes and Yes... I completely agree. I'm sorry but this change needs to happen I was in bgs racking my brains out trying to figure out how to overcome such things as concussive shot, and mind flay at low level as melee... its near impossible unless you over stack stamina ikts rediculious... as a druid I can probably get away with casting entangling roots but you have to cast it... I tried rejuvenate, not a fast enough regen, regrowth I have to cast it... and by the time I heal I might as well not have cause an equal amount of damage has been done. Something definately needs to be done and I think Twill has the right idea.
"We can't have it both ways."
I know that If I was hired by Blizzard, I could figure it out. Yea, you heard me. The thing is, Blizzard DOESN'T spend resources to worry about low levels. If they did, it's totally easily do-able. The thing is, they spend their time elsewhere (MoP).
And if you really think that every class having three abilities (a gap closer/maker, a damage reduction/avoidance/shield abiltity, and a fast heal for hybrids) by 10 is "bringing too much to the class too early," then may I ask you why it's okay for some classes and not others? I just want to make it the same with all of them. Look at my Monk example. You'll notice, the Monk doesn't exist yet. The post still includes them, because what I'm saying LITERALLY would solve the problems of lowbie PvP.
And you don't start till 14 -- okay, who cares? I start at 10, you start at 14, my brother is a dog. Random facts!
i really don't think they should be focused on the low level PvP at all. Clearly, the focus needs to be on end game. I understand that you are worried about low level PvP balance, but then again Blizzard devs (who are not lazy) don't design this game to suit your every whim and desire. Your opinion pales in contrast to the majority opinion of the 10m+ population of WoW.
They can make some of the people happy all of the time, or all of the people happy some of the time. I would greatly prefer that they cater to the masses and not the minority here.
If you want low level pvp balance, get rid of BOAs. It's very discouraging to be in a BG and most of the opposition can two shot you because they're in heirloom gear. Getting rolled over like you're not there, then getting camped in your graveyard so you can't even get out of it makes it very not fun.
Every BG I've run today has been the same. All lvl 10-19 stuff. I saw some advice on doing BGs a lot before you get to lvl 85, but if you can't get heirlooms and most of your opponents have them it just isn't enjoyable.
My .02 cents and based on a huge frustration level at the moment.

So I made my first batch of kimchi. It was kinda a big moment for the "white girl" in a korean family to do...haha. My mother in law doesnt use any recipes so it was hard for me to duplicate what she does. Thanks to Maangchi! i was able to make my own for my husband-kinda.
So heres the issue. I used regular flour because i couldnt find the sweet flour in Hmart. Iused exactly what the recipe called for but i taste alot of flour in my kimchi. I know to use less next time but i cant stand throwing out kimchi.
Is there a fix for this?

No power, no problem. The Eolic Aero, a portable wind powered generator, is currently a concept only, but I'd gladly erect one of these on my roof for the opportunity to run off the grid for what is hopefully the better part of the day – no word on potential power output.
It's constructed of light weight materials, such as carbon fiber and aluminum, which should make it relatively portable, though Ecofriend seems to think 2 to 3 people will be needed to erect it to its max height.
Who knows if if the Aero will ever see the light (or wind) of day, but disaster ravaged countries, such as Haiti could use this now.

This is pretty remarkable given the situation: according to MLive's Ansar Khan, half of the Red Wings' roster will be attending the NHLPA's meetings in New York, NY today and tomorrow: More than 300 players are expected to attend the NHLPA meetings, including at least 13 Detroit Red Wings. "I think it just shows guys want to be informed,'' Niklas Kronwall, Detroit's player representative, said. "Guys want to know what's going on, what's the latest, what we can expect the next few days, any new ideas that we can brainstorm around, and just hear what other guys have to say.'' With the NHL seemingly set to follow the NFL and NBA's models of "lockouts as a matter of collective bargaining course," just about every Wing who's been taking part in the informal practices at Joe Louis Arena expects the Red Wings to lock the doors starting at 11:59 PM EDT this Saturday...

Grace Woodroofe - October 5, 2011
Grace Woodroofe. October 5, 2011.
9:30 Club. Washington, DC.
Opening for Ben Harper.
Wednesday's performance was a rare and beautiful glimpse at an honest, open, and vulnerable young woman that left all of us in tears. At this point there is very little doubt, as in none, that Grace deserves her own separate concert review, regardless of her 'opening act' status.
Grace was rocking out in the usual manner running through tracks like Bear and Transformer. The fierce roar of her vocals pull your heartstrings and suddenly you're aware of pain and love like you've never felt before. With arms by her side and hair in her face, she sings the blues like a woman three times her age. The fusion of her innocence with the distorted guitars gives Grace a sound all her own. There just isn't anybody out there that can wail the way she does and her live performance of Oh My God is testament to that.
Ben Harper, who is producing Grace's debut album, Always Want, joined her on stage during the opening set. Her single, I've Handled Myself Wrong, features Ben on backup vocals during the chorus. Grace's presence within her songs demand a connection with the audience, and there is no where else you'll want to be. If you pay attention to the lyrics you can hear her leaving a piece of herself behind in every line.
Grace's second number featuring Ben was the delicately written H. Starting off with a gently finger picked chord progression, her raspy yet soft vocals fall in soon after. I may have been caught with my eyes closed, feeling the moment, but suddenly about halfway through the song Grace just stopped and burst into tears. She tried to fight it, she tried to wipe them away and turn from the crowd but it wasn't happening. Harper walked over to her and she quickly buried her face in his shoulder. He whispered something to her and she tried again to wipe away the tears. She could have cried for hours in his arms but instead she pulled it together, composed herself, and started right back in where she left off. Everyone around me had tears rolling down their cheeks. In the moment, and especially in hindsight, it was the purest, most emotionally honest moment I've ever experienced at a concert. Growing up usually takes years, but Grace did it in just one song. The love and appreciation I now have for Grace Woodroofe, as an artist and a person, is abounding.
It wasn't until hours after the show that I finally put it all together. Even though Ben Harper is producing her album it was actually Heath Ledger that first 'discovered' Grace and wholeheartedly encouraged her to follow her dreams. As her manager, he even directed and produced her first video for the David Bowie song, Quicksand. By introducing Grace to Ben before his death, Ledger has helped keep the dream alive, and from inside Grace's heart, Heath has the best seat in the house every night. In homage to her dearly departed friend, Grace wrote H., the hauntingly beautiful recollection of their time together. Some people in the audience thought she made a mistake during the song and was embarrassed, but that's not what happened at all. The outpour of emotion was real, and true.
Thank you Grace. Thank you for following your dreams.

Mark your calanders for next year. The treasure hunt begins May 16, 2015.
Welcome to the Forest Hill Community Association's web site. The FHCA was founded in 1984 and incorporated in 1986. We remain committed to our mission to foster closer relationships among residents of the community, similar community-minded organizations and agencies of the government, in order to improve the quality of life for all the residents of our neighborhood.
The Forest Hill neighborhood, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 and designated by the city of Newark as an historic district in the same year, is well described by noted city historian Charles Cummings, "Forest Hill, an architectural and residential jewel, lays to the east of Branch Brook Park, an Essex County park and the oldest county park in the United States. Forest Hill is one of Newark's most attractive and elegant neighborhoods. It was developed between 1880 and 1925 through the efforts of three great families, the Hellers, the Ballantines and the Clarks. These families lived here, built their great homes here, and served as captains of nineteenth century industrial Newark."
As the neighborhood continues to prosper with its rich mix of cultural, economic and racial diversity, we look forward to an exciting future for our association, Forest Hill and the resurgent city of Newark in which we live. We invite you to look around our website, stop by at any of our events and experience the pleasure of living in Newark's historic Forest Hill district.

By Christian Jennings - bio | email MOULTRIE, GA (WALB) - The last of four family members accused of sexually abusing several child relatives in 2006 pleaded guilty this week in Colquitt County.
39-year-old Carol Beaver pleaded guilty to two counts of cruelty to children for letting two child relatives go to her brother's house when she knew he was having sex with them.
In September of 2006, she was indicted on three counts of child molestation charges that allege she performed oral sex on a 6-year-old relative and had sex with another child.
Those charges were dropped as part of the plea agreement. She was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison.
Her brother Gary Arms and his wife Angela Arms and Russell Fronteras all pleaded guilty to child molestation charges last year.
Gary Arms will spend 10 years in prision, Angela Arms 5 years and Fronteras 6 years.

Hi, how was your weekend?
Oh, that sounds pretty fun. Mine? It was pretty good.
How's the dog? He's good.
Oh, and before you ask- no, I haven't heard anything. :)
A few people responded that they were very disappointed with my link to the Barstool Sports page. Let me clarify- by saying, "that's totally cool," I meant that they are allowed to have their own opinions, not that I was endorsing their message. I think it's pretty obvious how I'd feel about that post.
Some REALLY interesting articles are starting to pop up. I feel like some of the sensationalism is starting to wear off and people are really considering the moral/social ramifications of the situation.
(Apologies if there are any repeat links, I'm trying to sort through what's new and has original content.)

Mystery Diner
- mucho gordo Dec 15, 2011 11:37 AM
Did anybody else watch this latest 'reality ' type show? I've never seen or heard of it before so I'm assuming it's new. It's a mystery shopper service for restaurants. Owners experiencing merchandise / monetary losses due to employee theft arrange for this firm to stage a sting operation and record what happens. Last nights episode was at Maeve's Bar & Grill in Studio City. The blatant acts of dishonesty by this particular bartender were incredible. His excuse to the owner when confronted: " I was only trying to help you by establishing a rapport with the customer so they would want to become regulars.
Although I didn't see any info on the Food Network site, Google turned this up...
The Pilot episode is called 'Mystery Diners' and will air on the Food Network on the following dates:
December 14th at 10:00 PM
December 15th at 1:00AM
December 16th at 11:00PM
December 17th at 2:00AM
December 18th at 6:30PM
re: Manybears
Thanks many bears! I guess I could have looked that up myself, whoops!
This show is as phony as a three dollar bill. The first issue that comes to mind is the bar tender involved would have to give his OK for his involvement to be aired. (this is not a news show). With video camera's shooting away, both in the bar and later in the office might have been a giveaway?
re: poser
No he wouldn't. When you are in a public setting you can be video taped and it broadcast without your permission at any time by anybody because your permission is not nessecary. When you are in public you have no expectation of privacy. That's the law. Many shows will have you sign a release as extra CYA but it isn't nessecary. Keep in mind this episode was shot in LA where virtually everyone is trying to be a star. This d-bag probably thought it was his big break and signed a release not knowing he was going to be exposed as a turd.
re: WannabeTVchef
This was not a public setting. This is a TV show. There is a huge difference. The show is a phoney. If you can't see it, that's your problem.
re: WannabeTVchef
The bartender was not a visitor, he was an employe. Look, I don't care if you think the show is on the level or not. The fact is, employes have to have knowledge of the cameras. Do you work? I do, and we do have surveillance cameras. We had to be notified of them before they were put to use.
Another giveaway of this being a phony show. At the very end they said the bartender in question was working in Los Angeles as a bartender. How would they know that? Do you think the fired bartender used them as a reference?
re: John E.
The only difference is this was done for a TV show. Even on those Fox shows (Cops etc) the guilty parties never were visually or identified by name. I really can't believe anyone thinks this show is real. Do you actually think the Bartender in question would sign a release to have his mug plastered all over the television showing himself to be a dishonest employe?
re: WannabeTVchef
You may wannabe a TV Chef, BUT I am a lawyer.
The law if different in many jurisdictions. A fleeting glimpse of an individual on a street (a truly public place) may be broadcast in a news segment. Someone dining in a private establishment does have an expectation of privacy. That is why people are asked to sign releases before their images can be broadcast. That's also why they pay extras to appear in films and on TV!
This keeps a restaurant from snapping a picture of a celebrity dining there and using it in advertising without paying for the rights. No star would tolerate his/her image being used as an unpaid celebrity endorsement, particularly if they don't want to dilute the value of their paid appearances.
Last year, I was in a restaurant where they shot an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. I was asked to sign a release. As I was dining with a client who did not want his whereabouts broadcast, we refused. Shots of our table were not used on TV, and my client had his faced blocked out when he was caught in a shot on his way to the rest room.
Diners near us who were offered releases to sign were told that their meal would be free in exchange for the release.
re: bagelman01
Was Gordy there when you were dining or was just the camera crew getting footage?
re: John E.
Gordon was there for about 10 minutes of our visit, but we hurried to get out when my client's now ex-wife walked in to have dinner with her attorney
re: bagelman01
Now I get the picture. ; )
re: poser
I just thought the show was boring. There were not three or four 200 hundred pound guys wandering around with cameras. They were hidden cameras. What we saw appeared real, but it was boring. I don't know what the California laws say about this issue, but I'm sure the bartender signed a release form to receive his last paycheck but did not know he was going to end up on national television. This show won't last long.
Years ago my father was the president of the city council of the town we lived in. There was a municipal on/off sale place and it was losing money. My father hired a 'secret diner' (actually drinker) to go in there and observe the bartender. Basically he was doing the same thing. They fired him and hired a new manager. I told him he was like Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse minus the martial arts.
re: John E.
"There were not three or four 200 hundred pound guys wandering around with cameras. They were hidden cameras"
Even though, California law allows the placement of recording devices in order to protect the employer. That same employer must make it known to the employes that they have installed those devices. If they don't make that info known, they are in violation of state labor laws.
re: John E.
I don't think there are any exceptions. But if there were, I don't think a Food Network TV show would qualify.
No this wasn't a fake program. I have gone to Maeve's for four years and she is for real. I can vouch that there were always a couple of cameras in the bar, perfectly obvious. I doubt she's supposed to inform employees she's installed additional cameras. And I took media law at Stanford. The dirtbag barkeep does not have to sign anything; it's a public place and he's been informed of the original camera. As for keeping up with where he is, bar biz in the valley is a small world. Maeve prolly heard the day he got his next gig.
re: crimsons
I guess the exception to the rule is when there is at least one visible camera.
re: crimsons
It is one thing to have security cameras which capture images for the protection of the owner. employees and patrons and quite another to use those recording for broadcast purposes.
I may see a sign stating that there are security cameras in a bar and enter feeling safer than without the cameras, as the cameras may deter holdups and drug use. My remaining in the premises may give the owner permission to film for security purposes. It does not give the rights to broadcast or resell my image.
In some jurisdictions there are time limits on how long the images may be retained before they must be erased.
re: bagelman01
@Bagelman, you've got a couple of good points there. The show seems to not have been picked up, and I wonder how much is due to legal reasons. I also wonder if the bartender has taken legal action.
re: crimsons
Apparently it is coming back. They aired a "sneak preview" on May 20th with the announcement that it will start airing this week.
This show is a SCAM! I had a feeling this show seemed a bit fake at first and then it was confirmed by the second episode. Can't remember the title, but it was the one where the new chefis thought to be running a catering business on the side. Anyway, the show keeps referencing a Craigslist ad dated March 14, 2012. However, the end of the show gives us an update 4 months later. Um - its only been 2 months between the "ad" and the airing of this show. I am ashamed of you food network.
re: scarlet77
Yeah, it is searingly obvious how staged and fake this show is. The "acting" is ludicrous, the setups are transparent. And the worse sin is that it isn't even very entertaining. They pad out the episodes so much you end up watching the same scenes over and over. Between all of the "Coming up after the break"s and recaps after the commercials, they showed that Craigslist ad half a dozen times.
re: 2roadsdiverge
Watched my first and last episode last night. It was every bit a real as rasslin', but with worse acting. The "thieving bartender" and her friends who came to party with her after hours were so apparently acting that I watched the credits to see if they would admit the show was staged. I can't believe anyone would fall for this.
re: Remander
My daughter (actress) and I watched the same episode and came to the same conclusion. Plus, there was someone at the bar with "blurry face syndrome" so if it wasn't faked, why wouldn't the "thieving bartender" have the right to ask for her identity to be obscured?
Besides, if I own a business and suspect that my employees are stealing from me, don't I want to start making unannounced visits, rather than hiring someone else to run surveillance video? Show up at closing time, clean out the till, and send everyone on their merry way.
I read a blog posting by a person who said that the owner of Big Earls claims her episode was a re-enactment of something that happened in the restaurant. It is too bad the Food Network couldn't have been more honest in their advertising for this show.
This circumstance may be real, but the setting is staged. When the girls where leaving, the time was posted as 3:05 PM. In the backroom, the bartender's watch and the wall clock showed 2 PM.
I think it's soooo phony. Yes, these types of things really happens, but these are total set ups. The one with the manager Tim, who hired the pretty vs the experienced had conversations with the bartender who never answered. Offering to take an 18year old out to drink? Really??? I also wondered about signing releases. I have worked at a few restaurants where they tried to go with all young, pretty girls who had no clue what they were doing, but soon realized that they needed more experienced servers to keep their business viable. And the waitress Sophia how was caught eating and drinking? She soooo overacted with the checking around. And her hair was too perfect.
re: vlcal61
I work in TV and film. In my opinion, the show is a fake.
I just now saw the "Big Earl" episode.
Along with the previous descriptions of its "fake-ness", I'd like to add one more clue that can stand on it's own.....
...the lighting.
The bar area was WAY over-lit. What restaurant bar area is lit to that extent ?....especially with large windows flanking them, adjacent to, and visible from the street (the outside).
It was lit with several "studio lights", so the "subjects" (actors) could be bathed in light for the camera.
I hate shows like this....pretending to be shock-reality programming.
Who at FoodNetwork allowed this show to be purchased for broadcast ?
And what kind of slimy grease-ball producer(s) would even venture into such a fiasco ?
I bet if I could watch it a couple more times, I could find other anomalies.
OK, you guys are right. I went to Maeve's recently and ran into two of the bar "guests" who were in the episode. A total setup with an actor as bartender. One giveaway someone pointed out was that the "bartender" was wearing a watch. Hands in the water all night...what bartender wears a watch?
re: crimsons
I agree te show is a fake, BUT don't agree with your logic. I have bartended, waited tables, owned a catering business, washed dishes and pots and pans, ALL while wearing a watch. My everyday stainless steel Rolex is waterproof to 300 feet down and shock resistant. There is no reason to take it off while working. I've worn it every day for work (I have other gold dress watches) for almost 30 years.
It's really fake, and they keep using the same "mystery diners" over and over again, like Shelline. Wouldn't someone recognize her from the show if they were being spied on by her?
re: RosePearl
re: chicgail
ain't that the truth!! ;)
re: RosePearl
That's a pretty condescending attitude. The same could be said about any kind of media, up to and including the nightly news. The term "reality show" encompasses a whole lot of different television shows, and every person has their own definition. They also have different criteria for what is "real" and what is not.
Few people would argue that a show like "Whale Wars," in which documentary film crews follow Greenpeace activists who are attempting to stop whale poachers, is "fake." The complaint here is that "Mystery Diners" is a re-creation using actors while being presented as if it had been filmed live.
It took watching a few shows in row on a marathon they ran today for me notice this giveaway, but all you really have to do to confirm that Mystery Diners is completely staged is to look carefully for the beige "ear mics" that each of the employees who are "caught" doing something wrong are wearing.
This type of mic is very similar to the one you might see Chef Ramsay wearing on the "Restaraunt Nightmares" show, that you can usually see him wearing (because they aren't trying to conceal it). It is hard to see in MD unless you are specifically looking for it, but it's there if you do look.
There is no way that someone who was being surveilled for some kind of sting operation would already be.mic'ed up with an internal ear beige microphone ahead of time. Really, producers? Sheesh.
Shameful. I guess they figure that their demographic of viewers is not going to notice the ear mics, but it's really easy to catch especially... if you've DVR'd the show. Look for it and you can pause the show and really see it.
This means the show is totally and utterly faked, and that's all the real proof you need. Just deplorable that a show purporting to unconver deceptive behavior is itself deceiving its very own audience!
re: taverner
I went today to one of the restaurants on Mystery Diners. I had the chance to speak to the owner who was on the show. He said the show is a set up. He said that the Food Network contacted him and asked if he wanted to be on one of their shows. They didn't say which show. The Food Network finally revealed which show after they inspected his restaurant. He also stated that it took two days to set up for the filming.
After watching this show and 3 others it is obvious that the whole thing is nothing but a FAKE!!! Not one of these thiefs had any legal action taken against them, so what is the point of catching them if they can just walk away with no legal action taken??? If this is not a complete set-up, then the only thing a person learns from watching is that you can steal anything you want from a restaurant and not have anything happen to you when you are caught.
Yes.. The Show is Fake. It's my understanding that the first few episodes were real. Look at the first episode at Maeve's then compare that to the rest of the episodes.
Apparently things went south with the girl who shut the bar down and partied after hours. As the patrons left the bar they had a runner trying to get people to sign waivers. One of the patrons called the bar/restauant and alerted the girl to what was going on. So she threw a fit but agreed to participate in the filming.
From what I know they'd come in a few days before filming and wire the place and try to get an idea on what was wrong. Then a few days later they'd re-enact what happened and would amp up the DRAMA.
Now the stuff just seems a too over the top.

This was my second open mic. I think it went better than my first mic (I spoke slower and didn't freak out when I didn't immediately get laughs), but I still clearly need a ton of work.
Also, most of that set was literally written in my head as I was saying it out loud.

Story by Lena Wallace '14
Ahmad Nazeri '16
Randolph-Macon College student Ahmad Nazeri '16 is a computer science and mathematics major. Nazeri is originally from Kabul, Afghanistan and moved to Glen Allen, Virginia in 2002 after living for five years in Pakistan. He decided to attend R-MC after visiting campus during a Financial Aid information session, and after getting some good advice from his high school history teacher, Britt Arthur '06.
Yellow Jacket ConnectionsArthur, who majored in history and minored in education, teaches at Henrico High School in Henrico County, Virginia.
"Ahmed attended the International Baccalaureate program at Henrico High School, and I had the privilege of being his history teacher during his senior year," recalls Arthur. "I told Ahmed that I wouldn't trade my Randolph-Macon education and experiences for any other. The history and education departments at R-MC are fantastic. The small classroom settings and brilliant faculty make for a unique and irreplaceable learning experience. Ahmed was an excellent student, and I knew he would do exceedingly well at any school—but I am very proud that he chose to attend R-MC."
Web DesignNazeri, an Honors student, says his favorite classes are web design/programming and calculus, which he took during his freshman year.
"I like creating graphic designs and using that to educate people," he says. "I created a website for fun, using JavaScript, to teach people how to speak French." Nazeri, who learned French in high school, learned how to create websites during his R-MC computer science classes.He is putting his skills to good use in his job as a web assistant in R-MC's Marketing and Communications Department. "The best part of my job is applying what I have learned in my computer classes to actually help run a website," he says.
"Ahmad's work ethic and enthusiasm are almost boundless," says R-MC Webmaster Brent Hoard, who serves as Nazeri's supervisor. "He has a voracious appetite for learning new web programming languages, often spending countless hours outside of his normal academic pursuits and work responsibilities to acquire new web skills. In fact, he exhibited that strong desire to learn before he began working in our department. During the summer between his high school graduation and the start of his tenure at R-MC, Ahmad asked me for a reading list that would 'jump start' his learning about web design. On the first day of work, he even came prepared with questions about his summer reading!"
Faculty MentorshipNazeri says Mathematics Professor Eve Torrence has been especially helpful to him.
"She encouraged me to add a major in math because that's an area that is important to employers," he says. "I appreciate her guidance because she points me in the right direction and supports me as a student."
Student LifeNazeri is a member of R-MC's Ideas Revealed in Science club (IRIS), a newly founded photography club. Members meet every Tuesday and Thom Morgan '16 teaches the club photography skills.
"I have an interest in taking photos and creating videos," says Nazeri. "I enjoy taking photographs because they can mean different things to different people. It sounds cliché, but a picture really is worth a thousand words."
Future PlansNazeri's post-R-MC plans include working for a web programming company and attending graduate school.
"My dream job is to become CEO of a tech-based company," he says. Read more Student Experience stories.

Associated Press
FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - Maj. Nidal Hasan hasn't made disruptive outbursts while on trial for the worst mass shooting ever on a U.S. military base. When soldiers pointed to him as the gunman, he forgoes his right to question them, diffusing expectations of tense exchanges.
For a long-awaited trial that figured to dramatically unfold over months, a swift finish without spectacle now seems more likely.
Military prosecutors on Wednesday were set to continue calling witnesses who have recounted - with vivid and heart-wrenching detail - the shooting massacre at Fort Hood to a jury of 13 high-ranking military officers.
But inside the small military courtroom at the Texas Army post, the atmosphere has been largely muted. The lack of drama has speeded up a trial that may now be finished early as next week.

11 notes &
I consider myself an average Jane, PR girl by day, workout warrior by night. I play rec hockey, I throw weight around in a gym, I've never finished a race at a record breaking pace or done something unthinkable like an iron man… Sure, I've run with bricks and participated in 24-hour fun runs, but let's be honest, I am not going to be an Olympian or a professional athlete any time soon. I do this for kicks. I find power in the challenge… it gives me a sort of high.
Through CrossFit and food and yoga and racing… I've built from within. It isn't always about looks or even health; I'd say that mirrored images of me in a sports bra and shorts don't do my personal transformation justice. They don't show how powerful I feel. Change can be scary… I know that first hand, but the rewards of testing unknown waters can be exhilarating– proving to be completely worth the bumpy ride it takes to get there. I've learned to sometimes throw caution to the wind and trust my gut, try new things, go against the grain. Measuring success not by how I look, but how I feel… benchmark accomplishments achieved over time.
Anyone can do a nutrition program like this, anyone. Much like how anyone can sign-up for a race or step into a yoga studio. You just have to be ready to do something different. Test your personal limits and venture out of your comfort zone. Open your mind; erase any prior conceptions about fat or calories or food in general. Flip your thinking… You have to be willing to put aside what you think you know about food and what traditional media and packaging and 'diets' parle as fact.
Life is a human experiment. I view it as continual home improvement – be it physical or mental. We are each striving to be better people day in and day out. The only way to achieve new levels is by trying new things. Sure it's hard… but, quoting A League of Their Own: the hard is what makes it great. If you can get through the hard, then you're bound to learn something new. You will be forced to grow.
Read this book. Absorb, learn new things… and then go big or go home. Don't do it half way. You'll miss the point. If you hate it (or find it doesn't work) after 8 weeks, go back to the life you lived before… or find the middle ground that works for you – but not before you give this a fighting chance… push yourself through the tough parts. Don't cheat yourself out of the opportunity to try something different by assuming the outcome before you even get started. It's like talking yourself out of a race or any adventure before even walking to the starting line or jumping on the plane.
We all think that we have exceptions, but when you start adding them up, you'll have a list a mile long… over the past 60 days I've heard them all… "I could do that, buuuuttttt I can't live without mystery item X." Here comes the tough love. Yes, yes you can. You can live without pizza or cheese or ice cream… you can live without beer or chocolate… or whatever it is that tops that list. Those things aren't foods that are necessary for survival… If I was suggesting someone live without water… well, then maybe that'd be different. Sometimes in life, I find that we make things too easy. We immediately satisfy our every need. The reason why I've slept in a van overnight and carried bricks through the Potomac river was to do something tough… put myself through a mini-mental and physical battle to see if I could survive. This is nothing different: a test of will and accountability.
Anyone can do anything for 60 days. In the grand scheme of things, two months isn't long. It isn't a lifetime commitment. You aren't signing in blood on a dotted line.
Track everything. How you feel, what you eat, when you sleep. Daily. It's an important benchmark you can come back to and adjust time and time again.
Throw away the scale. Forget about weight. Remember that weight is just a number, it is not a reflection of self-worth.
Real food can't hurt you – yup, the things that don't come in boxes, or shakes, or bar format… the things without food labels – so there is no harm in trying this. You will learn how to cook. You will find time. Promise.
You may not see the benefits until week 8, but they will eventually happen. You may go through withdrawal and you may get frustrated, but if you follow through you may find that in the end, you feel more energized, stronger, less irritable… in control, powerful. You'll be a survivor of sorts. You may conquer your addiction to hidden sugar. You may recover faster. You may start reading labels. You may jump on a soap box and start questioning what is wrong with our food system.
This isn't a fad diet or a juice fast. It isn't a quick fix. It isn't easy. But getting what you want never happens overnight. There isn't a magic pill. If there was, we'd all already have taken it. Rewards come to those who put in effort – success is the sum of small actions repeated day in and day out over time.
Stop making excuses. Test your willpower. Flip your thinking. Break routine. Challenge yourself. Step out of the box. Dive in head first.
60 days later… You may be surprised at what you find out about yourself.
1 note &
Over the past 7 weeks, I'd say we all (my collective nutrition challenge folks and I) were in a sort of rehab. We've carefully logged cravings and foods and sleep and workouts.
After looking back through my charts, I'd say my food cravings were pretty sporadic, chocolate here, a beer there, nothing extremely regular. I credit this to my pre-challenge eating. I was riding my bike quite well before this adventure began – doing this challenge officially, helped me prove that to myself. I had found the prescription that worked for me, a sort of routine or balance – not always giving into cravings, following the off-road guidelines closely, finding a place between operating optimally and living life. As part of this process, I've come to appreciate this back to basics clean and strict approach. It resets the system and while it might not be entirely sustainable forever, it has given birth to some new routines and I've come out physically stronger and more energized. Although, to be honest, I think a lot of my changes have been due to sleep and my new morning schedule.
As an aside, I feel that I need to address this word "habit" that seems to have been thrown around a lot in both our required educational reading and amongst us challenging. Working in a world of addiction and behavior change daily, I'd argue that some of our learned food behavior is not just a habit but more of an actual addiction – a la tobacco. For most of us, I'd say this is especially true for sugar. Habits don't evoke headaches or mood swings. Those are withdrawal symptoms – as minimal as they might be. So, in the calculated tracking of our eating behaviors, we each found triggers, or cues that make us want to eat, be it sugar or breads or Twinkies.
Over the course of this self-experiment, we've learned to put space in-between ourselves and the "reward" in order to slowly break the connection between the activity and the food. This follows along the exact guidance that smokers are often giving when quitting. Foods aren't just habits, they are often addictions, and scary as it may be, lots of foods are engineered to be addictive. It takes most smokers 8-11 quit attempts before they actually quit – so I anticipate that many of us with all fall back off the wagon once this is done… a drink here, a piece of sugar there. But, we've been given the tools and I plan to continually step back, re-evaluate, and then spend a few weeks resetting the system as needed.
I'd say that my willpower is pretty strong. I know how stepping out of bounds makes me feel, which makes a lot of foods way less tempting. I don't ever really want to (or eat) the cake at work, I don't feel pressured to snack on chips just because they are there, and while I may joke about the amazing flavor of chick-fil-a or Klondike bars, I'd say that 9 times out of 10, I probably wouldn't eat them anyways. I've learned to occasionally indulge in the things I love, but also that tastes change – most foods (most) are not as tasty as you image or remember and eating them leaves you bummed out, still hungry, and feeling icky. Plus, once you realize the crapola that is actually put in food… okay, that's a whole other post.
Also, I've toyed with this question before – what level of functional fitness makes me content? Facts: I'm 31. I'm not going to be an elite athlete. I eat very healthy. I know how a glass of deep red or a frothy mug blows up my tummy, but I also know that I only get the opportunity to live life once, so sometimes it's worth it. So… if I ever land in Rome, I'm okay with the fact that I'm probably going to nosh on cheeses and breads, regardless of consequence. While I may not be able to comment on daily cravings, I will share a few personal enlightenments:
5 notes &
A lot of people ask me… so what exactly do you eat? The short answer: meat, seafood, eggs, lots of veggies, and the right fats. Yes, fat. I promise to come back and discuss that in another post, so sit tight.
For now, I want to address the often immediate follow-up question which usually asks… is eating that much meat good for you? My first answer is that I don't only eat meat – I eat meat, paired with a plate full of veggies. I'd prefer to say that I eat real food, the stuff that lurks around the edges of the grocery store. My second is that, there are a lot of misperceptions surrounding proteins like meat, seafood and eggs. All three are dense protein sources that are needed for growth and repair of skin, hair, tendons, ligaments and muscles – they aid in recovery from general activity and exercise and are used to produce hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and antibodies. Proteins are also the most filling/satisfying (or satiating) of all the macronutrients. An easier way of saying this is that when you eat and digest complete proteins (like meat, seafood, and eggs), the tummy stops feeling hungry because the body is well-nourished, thus, you stop eating. The three form a sort of trifecta that is rich in nutrients and leave you satisfied and well-nourished.
On a personal note, I've always been a steak kid. Sitting on the deck with friends and family grilling adventures are some of my favorite memories. I crave summer for that reason alone. While I've always eaten meat, over the course of this challenge, I've recognized two specific things related to my own protein consumption:
1. When I'm really hungry… I mean like when my gas tank is on "E" and I haven't eaten in a while, (think post long crossfit wod or yoga session or long day at the office), what I really crave is meat. Not pasta or junk food or sports drinks. Fueling the body with complete proteins makes me feel full and energized longer – like a slow burning fire. Yes, food is fuel!
2. I don't snack very often, (the side effect of eating a templated plate of food) but when I do, I now build my snacks in this order: protein, protein + veggie, protein + veggie + fat. Essential, you can never go protein-less. If you don't have the protein, you aren't allowed to have the rest of the snack. This small adjustment has made a world of difference for my eating routine. I'm no longer mindlessly tossing back a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts and then still feeling hungry an hour later. Instead, the calculated building of the snack helps make me think about what I'm eating, and most times, I end up eating only the protein and then feeling full. Try it – it's pretty cool.
Back to the question of meat. Sadly, the flip side of the issue is that some meat can be bad for you. Not because it's meat, but because of how the meat is processed. I've touched on this before, and read countless articles about the issues with the food industry – as a society we've built a messy web of commercialized food and the mass media has perpetuated a whole host of food untruths – making it very confusing as to what is healthy and what isn't. The world in which we live values profit and convenience over public health and in that model, meat and other proteins are not all created equal. The way animals were raised and the food they were fed plays a big part in their quality and health impact on the body – as the folks from Whole9 would offer: You are what you eat eats.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of meat, fish and eggs in the U.S. don't come from health-conscious small-scale farms, instead a full 99 percent of our farm animals are raised and slaughtered in an assembly-line fashion. This is where things get very unhealthy. The conditions under which the factory farmed animals are kept and the food that they are fed makes the meat of these animals less micronutrient-rich and contaminated with… yup… pesticides, hormones… all of the things that we work so hard to keep out of the body by avoiding processed foods.
It's understood that it isn't always possible to get farm fresh meats, because well, they just aren't always available. Not everyone can order a cow or buy meat from a local farmers market – even though most of us wish we could. So for now, we are obligated to buy the meat that is available at the local grocery store. That meat, more often than not, is factory-farmed. In order to mitigate the negative health effects, it's best to buy leaner cuts and remove the fat (not because its fat, but because the fat is where the pesticides and hormones are often stored by the animal). Also, walk right past the deli counter. Processed meats like bacon (unless it is EPIC bacon), sausage and deli meat may be convenient, but they often contain a host of toxic byproducts.
Buyer beware - there are a lot of grossly overused terms in food marketing, one being "natural" – while the word may imply that the food is minimally processed, there is no legal standard. Words like "organic" and "healthy" or even "sugar-free" are often spin. Fillers, sugar substitutes, soy and a host of other ingredients are sneakily inserted into foods where they don't belong. The key is to read the labels, ask questions, and demand that the food you are getting is exactly what you expect it to be. Vote with your dollar. Support local farmers and butchers. The hope is that if we continue to support local, humane, ethical and responsible farming, we might be able to… get back to the start. Where we didn't have to worry about if meat is really meat or if eggs come from real chickens. When protein is healthy filled with nutrients because it wasn't filled with all the fake stuff. After a few years of eating quality meat, you'll be able to tell the difference… trust me.
So… sorry vegetarians… it's almost summer, so invite me over and throw some steaks on the grill… meat isn't as bad as you might think.

Day 287: Normally this bowl would have been mine. Sugar free for 14 days. Avoiding this temptation in my office kitchen is cruel and unusual punishment. The raspberries are teasing me!

Preserving the historical character of Roxborough at large and Lyceum Avenue in particular proved a significant issue throughout 2012. While some properties met the bulldozer, other property owners capitalized on preservation grants to better their home.
The Roxborough Development Corporation continues its plans to preserve the character of Lyceum Avenue with a meeting Thursday at 6:30 p.m.
In 2012, the RDC secured a grant for Lyceum Avenue homeowners (living from Ridge to Pechin streets) interested in historic preservation. Additionally, the Preservation Alliance hosted homeowner workshops. A third initiative of that project were plans for street improvements on street, all the way to Manayunk Avenue.
Architect Ian Smith is tasked to create one or two renderings that will set establish a master plan for the wide thoroughfare.
In an announcement from the RDC, the group said Smith's "purpose is to incorporate and enhance your ideas for the avenue into a product that can be used for future efforts."
The meeting will be held at the RDC office, 6111 Ridge Ave. Visit Roxborough.Us for more info.

WAN vs. Datacenter Link Reliability
Colin Scott extracted some data about WAN vs datacenter networks reliability:
According to a study by Turner et al. [1], wide area network links have an average of 1.2 to 2.7 days of downtime per year. […] The results are interesting: out of all links types, the average downtime was 0.3 days. […] Intuitively this makes sense. WAN links are much more prone to drunken hunters, bulldozers, wild dogs, ships dropping anchor and the like than links within a secure datacenter.
I've been able to find the two papers online:
- California Fault Lines: Understanding the Causes and Impact of Network Failures - Daniel Turner, Kirill Levchenko, Alex C. Snoeren, Stefan Savage
- Understanding Network Failures in Data Centers: Measurement, Analysis, and Implications - Phillipa Gill, Navendu Jain, Nachiappan Nagappan

Several Benicia Unified teachers may get layoff notices before March 15 in order to make up for the down economy and declining enrollment.
The Benicia Unified School District Board of Education will meet tonight, Thursday, March 7, to discuss the possibility of cutting the equivalent of 6.8 full-time jobs for the 2013-14 school year, according to the Benicia Herald.

SportsDay Live: Thursday, December 13, 2012
JAMES POLSON5:00PM Full-time: And that's a wrap from us today. Thanks for joining us and we'll be back at 8.30am tomorrow with Ben Coady steering the ship. There'll be a few hours of live coverage before we head south for the first Test from Bellerive.
4:56PM Cricket: There's been plenty of talk about Lasith Malinga today after his stunning performance in the Big Bash League last night, but the explosive effort isn't tempting Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene to entice the paceman for a Test comeback. Malinga retired from the long form of the game last April.
''I think with the injuries he's had in the last few years, it's pretty unfair of us to ask him to come and play Test cricket,'' Jayawardene said in Hobart on Thursday.
''If he feels he is 100 per cent he'll probably make that call by himself. Every time he picks up wickets in a one-dayer or a T20, everyone seems to be putting their hand up and saying he should be playing Test cricket.
''But three or four years back, everyone thought his career was finished.''
Golf: And Daniel Popovic has hit the lead. He's still in control at the PGA, moving to -8 through 13 holes to lead by two shots over Scott Strange (66) and three shots from China's Xin Jun Zhang (67) and Singapore's Tze-huang Choo.
Popovic has made nine birdies in 13 holes, starting with four in a row then bagging five straight from 17 to three. The only blemish on his card was a bogey on the par five 15th.
Golf: Here's the latest leaderboard from the Australian PGA Championship at Coolum. Scott Strange is still the man to beat with his six under round locked in, while countryman Daniel Popovic is the danger man, posting the same score with eight holes to play.
-6: Scott Strange (AUS) 18 holes, Daniel Popovic (AUS) 10 holes
-5: Xin Jun Zhang (CHN) 18 holes, Tze-huang Choo (SIN) 18 holes
-4: Jason Scrivener (AUS) 18 holes, Cameron Percy (AUS) 12 holes, Stephen Dartnall (AUS) 18 holes, Ryan Haller (AUS) 18 holes, Peter Senior (AUS) 18 holes
-3: Bronson La'Cassie (AUS) 18 holes, Marc Leishman (AUS) 18 holes, Brad Kennedy (AUS) 18 holes, Aaron Townsend (AUS) 18 holes
4:41PM Basketball: The Celtics outlasted the Dallas Mavericks 117-115 in double overtime in their NBA clash in Boston. The scores were locked at 96-96 at the end of 48 minutes and then 105-105 at the end of the first extra period.
Paul Pierce hit a big three-pointer in the second stanza of overtime to finish with a game-high 34 points. Rajon Rondo went within a whisker of a triple double with 16 points, 15 rebounds and nine rebounds in his career-high 52 minutes on the floor.
The Bucks beat Sacramento 98-85 in Milwaukee, the Rockets scored a 99-93 home win over Washington, Oklahoma City edged out New Orleans 92-88, Minnesota registered a 108-105 win over Denver and the Suns upset Memphis 82-80 in Phoenix.
In the late game, San Antonio are up 80-75 over the Jazz in Utah with just under eight minutes to go.
4:38PM Cricket: Australia captain Michael Clarke has told his top-order trio the time has come to start owning their positions. Ex-opener Phil Hughes has been recalled following a year out of the side and will bat at No.3 against Sri Lanka, while openers Ed Cowan and Dave Warner failed to give Australia a solid start in the three-Test series against South Africa which ended earlier this month.
''There is plenty of talent there. It is about owning your position, making the most of it,'' Clarke said on Thursday.
''They have the chance to build a long, successful career whether it be opening the batting (or) batting three.''
4:34PM Tennis: Francesca Schiavone, the Italian who defeated Sam Stosur in the 2010 French Open final, will headline next year's Hobart International field. Former world No.4 Schiavone will be hot favourite to take out the women's event, which runs from January 4 to 12 in Tasmania. Taiwanese rising star Su-Wei Hsieh and Romania's Sorana Cirstea have also confirmed their participation.
