Thank you. Seriously. Members should often get their heads out of their asses, come up for air for a second, and think about all they get. It's a lot of work, it is. But all they see is the tiny things they don't get.
Freedomfighter said...
Essentially, you are saying that members voicing their interests in a guild is a bad thing. Perhaps they aren't the most tactful people in how they voice their opinions (neither are you by the way), but in a sense they are as much a part of the guild as you are and deserve to be represented fairly and not have to blindly accept every decision (and the inevitable mistakes) that officers make.
In fact, if as an officer, you can't deal with the rigor of the role and listen to the input of the members you act on the behalf of, perhaps the role of officer isn't for you.
SarahTheGnome said...
I lead the biggest RP guild on our server, so I kind of doubt your statement. People seem to fail at reading this article properly. I became officer and guildleader by voicing opinions and suggesting improvements, there is nothing wrong at all with constructive criticism.
It is the whole; when are you going to do something for lvl70 people?
When there are pre-WotLK raids and RP events accessible to all on the calendar weekly?
It is the; I want to organise my own event but I don't feel I get room to do so QQ.
When we ask of our members every two months to put forward suggestions for events, and then get no answer.
THAT is the thing I am talking about.
So really, no need to snub me. I have been officer since like... 2 months after I started playing WoW. I get 20 whispers when I log on, I organise events weekly and I lead raids. And in all that time, I have never snubbed a member, even when they whine excessively. But have I been snubbed for things that supposedly weren't there while they were? Hell yes. And that is the point of this article. If only people could learn to read.
I totally agree with Freedomfighter.
The purpose of an officer/class leader/etc is to serve the guild, not the other way around. Think of it as a Democracy.
The GM or officers can't just turn the course of the guild 180 degrees without consulting it's members. (Unless the gm is a douche with delirium of power).
SarahTheGnome said...
Really Eternauta, is it so hard to read this article? Really? Guidleaders and officers do nothing but serve a guild and its best interests. Let me quote something for you from the article, maybe this will help general understanding:
"It doesn't mean you have to approve of every decision they make. It's your guild, too, and you should be able to voice your opinions. The advice that I've given to these readers is always the same: Talk to the officers about it if you really have a problem with what they're doing. Either they will agree with you or they won't. If they don't agree with you, you can either live with it or quit the guild."
See, see that. That is the essence. I live in a democracy. I have a vote, as do guildmembers. Sometimes though, the majority will vote for something I don't like, well tough for me then, but I will have to live with it, or leave. That is how it is in a guild. You try to please everyone, but you simply can not, it is impossible. So before you start to whine as if officers do this to spite you, maybe think about how they actually discussed the decision, weighed the pros and cons, and then came to a conclusion.
Since when does democracy mean 'everyone will like every outcome'?
Kakistocracy said...
SarahTheGnome, forgive me if I'm wrong, but you seem to have tried to insult everyone that has disagreed with your comment (though perhaps less so on comments which I haven't read in other articles).
Further more you say that you doubt a statement that was made in response to your comment, but given that that comment was a conditional, if you feel its antecedent is false, you must, as we all know, agree that the statement is true.
@Freedom Fighter
Quote: "Essentially, you are saying that members voicing their interests in a guild is a bad thing."
Way off base dude. More like:
"Members don't run guilds".
Just cause your a member doesn't mean you have a say in any decision that is made ... at all ... period. If you don't like decisions, your ultimate "vote" is to leave.
Now, some guilds don't have a problem with members voicing issues in public, some do. Heck, some guild don't even want you voicing opinions in private. To quote a progression guild I once was in: "We run the guild, not you, if want your advice, we will ask for it".
If you want to run a guild, go make one. If you want to have more say in the guild your in, ask how you can become an officer. Till then, Officers are there to keep the guild on the track they think is best and what you think doesn't really matter most of the time (at least in good guilds that have stayed the course of time).
@ SarahTheGnome
The problem with this argument is that you are assuming that, "Guidleaders and officers do nothing but serve a guild and its best interests," while a lot of us do not. There aren't perfect officers everywhere, and in fact, there's a lot that serve their own interests moreso than they should (on a great degree of scale depending upon the person).
The grey area here is that in some guilds it's hard to tell if your officers are truly good, wholehearted people. I've been in guilds where the leaders do put in the effort to set up all guild events and make sure every incident is worked out, only to find out later that all the while they were doing what could be a multitude of unwarranted, selfish things (taking a steady amount of gold from the gbank for personal reasons, giving away free DKP with no justification, letting people sit out of a raid and play their alt because they "don't want to go" and let them reap the benefits of it).
Yes, I do believe that officers that do their job FOR the guild first, deserve to be respected and treated well.
SarahTheGnome said...
@ Kakistocracy
I say members should often get their heads out of their asses. If this is insulting to you, or to anyone else, then I can only assume it is because you are such a member. Because there are also many members that cause no problems. But that is not what this blog was about, so talking about those would be silly now wouldn't it?
So I don't see that as offensive. The learn to read comment is then offensive? How so? It seems many people misinterpret this blog and that is just annoying. Talking offtopic about officers and guildleaders wanting to be dictators. Claiming this is what the blog is about, while it is absolutely not. When commenting, it is very annoying that you do not even get the point of the blog you comment on, because then, the one trying to have a discussion with you, can never prove his/her point, since you are not even discussing the same thing.
And no, you are not right. Because the comment I made, related to the blog, which in no way, ever stated, that members, and I quote 'voicing their interests in a guild is a bad thing.' Again, arguing beside the point and not on the content of the actual blog, has no use.
@ bistramo. I agree with you fully, and I was only talking of those that actually do their job properly, that in a lot of cases, people tend to see the negative more than the positive, and focus on that. But as I said, I agree, the bad ones deserve no praise, and constructive criticism, as I have said before, is always welcome and warranted.
Kakistocracy said...
SarahTheGnome, perhaps you aren't coming off as you intend, but as it stands, your arrogance is rather cute. I did not say that you had insulted me, I asserted that you had responded in a petty way to everyone thus far who had commented on your comment. I did imply that you would insult me, and (at least in my opinion) you carried through my alleging that I am probably a problematic guild member (based on your (apparent) complete disregard for my point).
To be fair, I must thank you for substantiating my point which, had it received a response both reasonable and rational, would have been quite superficial.
I do disagree that form is a meaningless epiphenomenon arising from a need to discuss content. When a discussion shifts to far from form, some sort of balancing effort should be taken to ensure that meaning is consistently understood, far from being "of no use".
But I grow tired of this, feel free to go for the last word, it's yours if you disagree.
Freedomfighter said...
If the way you run your guild is anything like how you post, I don't expect much from your guild. Yes your guild may be the largest RP guild on your server (the largest on my server is probably 40 people and hasn't downed naxx), but it doesn't begin to qualify you as a good guild leader. You and your condescending attitude and the fact you are oblivious to manners ("how is 'get your head out of your ass ' condescending") remind me of a officer in an old guild of mine who insisted people couldn't loot badges until after loot but she could. That guild ended up essentially failing towards the end of BC, merging with another guild, and then ending up being a thoroughly mediocre guild.
In short, quality and successful guilds nearly universally listen to their membership.
SarahTheGnome said...
@ freedomfighter:
"In short, quality and successful guilds nearly universally listen to their membership."
Please, please, do show me where I ever said this wasn't the case.
Let me answer to this: "To be fair, I must thank you for substantiating my point which, had it received a response both reasonable and rational, would have been quite superficial."
I would love to know how my response is unreasonable and irrational. I responded to your claims, and the only response you give, and have given before, is one with big words which I am pretty sure you hope I do not understand, so you can claim that you are right based on that misunderstanding. But as it stands, you have not argued any of my views, just my tone. Which is again, driving the discussion off point. But hey, kudos for trying to come off intelligent, I can argue that is just as demeaning as any of the things I said.
SarahTheGnome said...
Ow and Freedomfighter, I thank you for your insight, but the guild I run is over 2 years old, has near to 150 members, of which most have around since the beginning. Again, and for the very very last time. I agree that a guild is a democracy, as I have now said a million times, I welcome opinions (yes I know I repeat myself, but apparently it is very necessary). What I do not welcome (but still swallow and not comment on when members do it), is when you constantly whine and try to poison an environment based on 1 thing you dislike, instead of focusing on the 99 things you do like. The people who have done this, and have in the end, left the guild because they did not get their way (completely disregarding the fact that the other members did not want it that way, since hey, that doesn't matter), have all asked to come back after a few months, or have quit the game.
Which basically says it all. Discussions are always fun, but they can get extremely annoying and tedious when you choose to ignore half of what I write so you can 'win' a discussion.
Cliff's Notes, aka TL;DR --
SarahTheGnome: "Members should appreciate the good things about their guild instead of harping on unreasonable wants and expectations. They should remember that they are not the only person in the guild. If you are insulted by this, it goes double for you. I have lost most of my tact from dealing with whining morons every day."
FreedomFighter: "I don't really understand what was said, so I will argue a straw man. SarahTheGnome talks in the same manner as a bad GL I once knew, therefore she must be a bad GL too and treat her members like crap. She couldn't possibly have gotten pissy with me because I argued against a point she never made..."
Kakistocracy: "Insulting people is bad, mmkay? I don't like SarahTheGnome's tone, so I'll wax eloquent for 4 paragraphs to say this, then I'll play the martyr card without attacking a single point that was made. I will, however, miss the irony in attacking her form with an argument that essentially says nothing, but in excellent form. "

Aerosmith - Biography
Aerosmith is a prominent American rock band. Three of the members, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Tom Hamilton first met in Sunapee, New Hampshire in the late 60's, but it wasn't until 1970, in Boston, Massachusetts, that the three decided to form a band together. Later they met up with Joey Kramer (drums) and Brad Whitford (rhythm guitar). The band enjoyed major popularity throughout the 1970's, with rock anthems like "Dream On" - but they split from 1979-84 due to serious substance abuse and drug addictions that contributed to their decline.

Neighborhood Joints
This question isn't to find the "spot". really, i just want to ask if there is a small place in your neighborhood that you enjoy going to. not the most popular, maybe not even the best food--but its got the neighborhood vibe and you keep going back?
for me it is this little corner restaurant on Figueroa and Ave 37 in Highland Park called La Abeja. it's not the snazziest diner, the hours are modest, just breakfast and lunch, but the waiter is attentive and generous with coffee, the food is made to order, the food is always solid---their carne en mole rojo is just fantastic, they run out of their specialty friday soups by lunchtime, the prices are always really so refreshing, and best of all, just a walk across the street from my home.
do you have a neighborhood joint you love that isn't overrun by crowds and zagat postings?
The Reyn coffee shop on North Lake in Pasadena has the jokey waitress, the old guys flirting with her, decent coffee and pleasant breakfast skillets and sandwiches. Breakfast and lunch only, cash only, but the grub's OK and cheap.
For an evening hangout we still love Amigo's at Colorado and Wilson, despite the food's being just tolerable (and some on this Board don't think it's even that). Comfy booths, friendly service, good margaritas and a killer jukebox. For just the two of us, or for meeting friends and/or neighbors for anything from party planning to gossip-fests, we love it.
Rutt's Cafe on Washington Blvd. in Culver City. Hawaiian / Japanese food with a great neighborhood vibe and really friendly down-to-earth service. The interesting thing about Rutt's is that they offer just about ever dish in 3 sizes, Regular - Queen and King, so differences in appetites are addressed and you can save money. My wife and our son went the other night for dinner and the tab was $28.75 + tip for the three of us, (and no one left hungry)
Our neighborhood is one of the big restaurant hotspots in LA -- we are within immediate walking distance of Hatfield's, BLD, Angelini Osteria, Grace, Cobras & Matadors, etc.
We treat these restaurants like our neighborhood go-tos, but it's not always practical to do so. With the popularity of this area in full bloom, we would love to find some good neighborhood spots (in other words, not Buddha's Belly, which is vile) that are not super pricey or overrun with people. Walking distance would be great, too. Any suggestions?
re: hungrygirl106
Dou you ever go to Fiddler's Bistro? What do you think? I used to go for lunch fairly often and always found it pretty good, but haven't been in a while.
re: hungrygirl106
I really like Chao Krung on Fairfax, just around the corner from Beverly. Always good, never seems to be too crowded when we go. Addictive green curry. Also, we spend a lot of time at the Banana Leaf at the Farmer's Market. I know it doesn't quite fill the bill as far as being crowded, but I love it for the curry (again) and roti paratha.
Atch-Kotch on Vine and Fountain. Mmmmm...delicious ramen and udon!
re: hungrygirl106
Living in this neck of the woods kind of spoils you in terms of what your "neighborhood" joints are. Have you tried Doughboy's yet?
re: SauceSupreme
Have not yet tried Doughboys. I'm trying to eat healthfully these days, so I'm sticking with M Chaya, sushi (tried Izaka-ya last night -- great!), and Soot Bull Jeep these days.
re: hungrygirl106
Izakaya is on my radar, too. How was it?
And did you get the marinated shrimp at Soot Bull Jeep?
re: SauceSupreme
Izakaya was terrific; perhaps I'll post on it later, when I have more time. As for the marinated shrimp at Soot Bull, that is one of my go-tos -- especially when I'm trying to watch my diet. Grilled shrimp and some kimchee, and I don't even feel like I'm being "good." :)
Won Won Kitchen (Temple City)
The Sushi (Temple City)
Dai Ho (Temple City)
Sin Ba La (Arcadia)
Tony's Pizza (San Marino)
Dumpling House (Temple City)
Connal's (Pasadena)
Wolfe Burgers (Pasadena)
Gerlach's Grill (Pasadena)
Well, we used to have Frank's at the corner of Oxnard and Vineland, but they closed it down and the building's sitting there, sad, empty and occasionally graffiti-tagged ever since. Since Sitton's NoHo Diner decided to go a tad more upscale (in keeping with the whole "Arts District" thing) it's no longer the fun "watch the trannies come in loaded at 2am" place it used to be. I guess the closest place we got these days is Kerry's Grill (formerly Pat's Grill) at Riverside and Laurel. Kerry's a hoot, slings a mean patty melt and keeps the breaded mushrooms around for us even though they're not officially on the menu anymore.
We just discovered Wood Spoon in the fashion district (9th and Main). It's a homey, Brazilian kitchen. I'm not terribly familiar with Brazilian cuisine, but they were very friendly and excited to share very traditional, home-style Brazilian cooking with us. We just went for breakfast this morning, and the experience was so great we'll definitely be back to try their lunch and dinner menus. Since it was a slow morning, we chatted it up with the owner, who brought out several "test items" she was considering putting on the menu. Decor is beautiful and minimal - apparently the furniture was handbuilt by the owners, so it's definitely a labor of love.
re: munkicat
Wood Spoon has a great pork burger.
Owner is super nice and friendly as well.
Hope that place sticks.
Used to be Pace in Laurel Canyon but now way over-run by crowds and zagat postings. Thank god they deliver their pizza. Cafe Med on Sunset another old stand-by -- tastey focaccia baskets, nice wines and a solid simple clam pasta -- but seating on the terrace (which is the only decent place to eat) is sometimes hard to come-by and scene can be kind of Euro-cheesey. Damn, I don't have a good old-fashioned neighborhood joint. Wahhh!
re: bite bite
This wasn't called Cafe LA a million years ago was it? Is it on the left or right side as you drive toward the ocean? I remember a great focaccia basket at a similar sounding Italian place on the left side of Sunset in the late 80's.
re: Joanie
Wasn't here in the late 80's but Cafe Med on the right side of Sunset as you drive toward the ocean -- right at the bottom of Sunset Plaza Dr. and across the street from ChinChins. They do serve a delicious focaccia basket with their meals. Oh something else, across the street from Cafe Med in the Equinox gym courtyard is an excellent gellato place that's definitely worth a stop for desert for anyone eating in the area.
re: bite bite
Is Cafe Med a chain?
re: hungrygirl106
Hmm. Didn't think so but just googled and looked like it is -- 4 or 5 branches around LA area.
Famima! It's nearby and a reliable source for a salad, a snack or whatever I need at that moment. I go about once or twice a week.
Los Toros Mexican - Northridge on Devonshire near Topanga Cyn. I've lived near this shop over 20 years and have watched it go from small and neighborhoody to large and still neighborhoody. Never had interest in eating here b-cuz everything is cooked in animal fat! :( But, tonight I closed my brain and took the dive. Not bad and inexpensive. We were escorted to the back of the bus and liked it very much. Quite and romantic. Even had a gutarist for a few minutes. I was happy NOT to have to cook tonight!
Toscana is my neighborhood joint. I feel comfortable going in there solo and sitting at the counter/bar for lunch. In the evening it is always bustling. Service is friendly, food is great, albeit pricey but I love that I am welcomed despite my attire and can get in at the last minute. Pizzas are great as are the off-menu, chicken and shrimp salads. So, that is why Toscana is my favorite neighborhood place. Even the valet parking guys are nice.
Cheers to you Mommycat for mentioning La Abeja! I've been eating at Roy's restaurant since I was a kid (several decades now). Roy's still behind the counter most days, but his kids are grown and running the place too. He has the BEST machaca anywhere! Those onions, those tomatoes....YUM!
It really is a neighorhood joint. It's only been "remodeled" (spruced up) once in the past 30 years and you see the same families (two generations or more) still enthusiastically eating there! I still drive into Highland Park to join my dad there for breakfast.
re: Reeter1
Another vote for La Abeja! I'm nuts for their Carne Adobada. I don't even bother ordering anymore, they just bring me my food when it's ready. I wish they were open for dinner, but Chico's down the street is open fairly late, and is a great runner-up.
Nat's Early Bite on Burbank in Sherman Oaks/Van Nuys fits the bill.
So does Tony's at Coldwater and Magnolia.
I would have to say Eat at Joes in Redondo Beach, close by my neighborhood in Hermosa. It is mostly very popular for breakfast and lunch with big crowds. However it started serving dinner a couple of years ago and the crowds haven't shown up in the evening. My significant other and I eat dinner there about twice a week and the food, while only reaching the level of good and sometimes very good (pork chops, burgers, country fried chicken), is always satisfying. The real draw though is the crowd, old South Bay working class consisting of cops, fisherman, the few remaining aerospace workers and the occasional homeless person with just enough coin to enjoy a cup of coffee, a friendly space and the Lakers game the tv. The waitstaff is friendly to all.
Mine would be Harold and Belle's on Jefferson just east of Crenshaw. It's become a regular spot for me when I get to LA visit my family, and my parents seem to clamor to go when I'm back in town. We've had nothing but pleasant experiences and I find the food to be very good, though I'm no expert on Creole cuisine.
In the Valley it'd have to be Skaf's -- that hummus deserves to be spread on the bodies of the virgins I'll get in heaven -- and in Orange County, it'd have to be Carolina's.
blue marlin
don felix
monte alban
terried sake house
as you can see i live on the westside.
Another vote for La Abeja - the absolute best chile rellenos in the world. I'm partial to the steak picado (con chile) too! The whole family is involved in this - the aunt, Roy, the kids, etc. Its warm and comforting and pretty much never changes. Only wish they were open later.
And a vote for the Oinkster, too - not superlative, but love the pastrami, the burgers and the pulled pork - in other words, a good neighborhood joint!
Kimmie's Coffee Cup for breakfast in Brea. The best hash browns; cooked just right so that the exterior has enough of the crunch, and the interior potato is perfectly cooked and not too mealy. This place has a line on Sundays if don't get there early enough.
I love gilbert's. There's nothing outstanding about the food and I would never drive out of my way, but I love how everyone there knows me and often knows what I'll be ordering (the chile rellenos burrito).
This is a long list 'cause I'ma hungry.
Konjac (green tea with konjac)
The Basket (patty melts and other diner items)
J&J (xlb)
Mei Long Village (xlb, hot & sour soup, noodles, veggies)
Har Lam Kee (dumpling/wonton soup, porridge)
Tacos Baja (ceviche and baja tacos)
Mi India Bonita (mood-dependent but, anything)
Krazy Kabobs (wraps)
Golden Skewer (kabobs and hummus)
Los Molcajetes or the place on Atlantic Square (pupusas)
Lee's Tofu (seafood pancake, tofu salad)
Liliana's (tamales, sopes)
The Hat (chili cheese fries, pastrami sandwiches)
Doublz or Arry's (big fat burgers)
Cafe Bixby in the Bixby Knolls area of Long Beach
Good neighborhood place for solo dining or an informal gathering of friends - lotsa seating, so minimum/no wait for a table. A large, diverse and reasonably-priced menu and some pretty good specials (esp. their stuffed cabbage). The owner is always there and seems genuinely interested in taking care of the customer. I've not had a bad meal here, yet.
I just checked out Puran's on S. La Brea and I think it's going in our rotation as a solid neighborhood go-to. Good quality (organic galore) at decent prices -- and their chicken caesar is twice as good but a fraction of the cost of the one at Bad Lettuce Dinner (ahem, BLD). Go Puran's!
Sunnin in Westwood (on Westwood Blvd., just north of Santa Monica). Little hole in the wall Lebonese restaurant with the best hummus (garlicky), and really good grilled meat dishes and large selection of mediterranean appetizers. Good sized portions for low prices. Markie D's Taste of Philly on Washington Blvd. in Culver City (just east of Sepulveda). Best philly cheesesteaks (really juicy meat) and cheese wiz on their fries instead of that generic stuff. So much better than South Street in the village, and better prices. This is my FAVORITE lowkey around-the-corner type place when I wanna break my diet.
My neighborhood stand-bys here on 3rd and Fairfax are Doughboys and Thai Patio. I'm going to the Farmer's market less and less but I used to go to the Crepe place a lot.
Vinotecca on Hillhurst for a snack and a nice glass of wine! Also Dusty's over on Sunset in Silverlake is always fun. Decent food, wines by the glass and great servers...always friendly and attentive.

Score Atlanta
The Chattanooga Mocs are mindful of Georgia's wrestling talent. Sprayberry product Alex Hudson is a senior on this year's Mocs roster. Hudson was a three-time state champion (2007, 2008, 2009) with a 187-6 varsity record with the Yellow Jackets. He won the state championship at 112 pounds as a sophomore, 125 pounds as a junior and 145 pounds as a senior. The athletically-gifted Hudson still holds the cross-country record at Sprayberry and was a four-year member of the team. In college, Hudson continues improving and he claimed the SoCon title at 149 pounds last season and posted a 6-0 record in conference action.
Parkview's Kamaal Abdush-Shakur and Pope's Tyler Haskin are seniors committed to the Mocs next season. In addition to Abdush-Shakur and Haskin is a long list of seniors that collected scholarships and attention from our neighboring states. Buford's Chip Ness is committed to North Carolina and Collins Hill's Ryan Millhof has pledged to Oklahoma. Woodward Academy's Chandler Pyke (N.C. State), Milton's Ryan Preisch (Lehigh), Jefferson's Tyler Marinelli (Gardner-Webb), Collins Hill's Sean Russell (Edinboro), Apalachee's Matthew Moore (North Carolina), Commerce's Chance McClure (Virginia) and Pope's Jake Henson (Virginia) all plan on representing Georgia at the collegiate level.
Before these athletes arrive at their college campuses, this season's slate of duals and tournaments will continue testing and preparing them for future success. This past weekend, Toombs County made a statement in the Jeff Davis Yellow Jacket Duals by topping Class AAAAA No. 2 Ware County 42-33 in the finals to take first place. The Gators responded to the loss by dominating Glynn Academy and Brantley (Fla.) by a combined score of 155-0 on Tuesday. Parkview was tested in area play on Tuesday and Grayson defeated the Panthers 39-38. The Rams have been a surprise this season and hold a 12-2 record. This year looks as deep as any across our six classifications.

Leah MonierSep 27 2012: My personal observations are that women have more tendancy to trust and identify with their body and their instinctive and subconscious mechanisms than do men.
Men are generally more drawn to valuing their conscious choices and awareness, and considering their instincts and subconscious reactions as irrational, destructive, and even dangerous.
I suggest that men simply repress their empathic reactions, and even simply go into denial about them- for it can be observed at times that a empathetic reaction is happening in the body, but if you ask the man, he is totally unaware of it.
(his own muscles moved with the observation of a gesture someone else did).
As far as being responsible for civilisation, societies are built upon the cycle of imitation and innovation. All inventions are constructed upon previous knowledge or skills, the inventions and new ideas are simply old ones put together in new combinations. So imitation is necessary for the sharing of ideas, emotions, art, music, but INNOVATION is also necessary! It is the individualist mindset that innovates by making new combinations.
Women tend to feel drawn to relation and identification with others, and the passing of information through imitation, but men as they strive to feel individual separation, are more often innovators of conscious creations, such as technology.
Both are needed to construct a civilisation.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
Where sunshine flecks the green,
Through towering woods my way
Goes winding all the day.
Scant are the flowers that bloom
Beneath the bosky screen
And cage of golden gloom.
Few are the birds that call,
Shrill-voiced and seldom seen.
Where silence masters all,
And light my footsteps fall,
The whispering runnels only
With blazing noon confer;
And comes no breeze to stir
The tangled thickets lonely.

riddle me this
here is a rebus card that i have had for many years. these have always fascinated me, but i have never been very good at figuring them out. this one is pretty straightforward and easily translated, i think. give it a try. i remember a tv show growing up called 'concentration.' two players were required to solve a common phrase written as a rebus. this was one show i actually watched. this postcard was made sometime in the late nineteenth century, and i love it for the drawings as well as for the simple typography. the hand-engraving and hand-coloring are so seductive. i often say i don't collect certain items that i'm sharing with you, but i often discover them in numbers when i start looking over my collections. there are moments in my collecting when i am asked by a dealer—whether at a flea market, paper fair or antique show—"what do you collect?" i smile, knowing he has no idea what exactly this question means to me. since there is not one answer, i usually say i'm a generalist and, if the dealer is more of a specialist, i will certainly ask if he has a particular item. (though i am embarrassed to say 'paper clips,' 'anything using a rebus,' or '19th-century examples of shorthand.' the difficulty in buying paper is that it takes a great deal of patience searching through box after box. of course it is that one item that keeps you coming back. by the way, please keep coming back to visit me at amass.

I have no answer to "What do you collect?" even though there are things I am clearly drawn to. As far
as patience goes, I presume that there is no contest.
However, I am the mother of four who actually like
me, so maybe I am more patient than I think. ;^)

I'm surprised I am leaving a second comment on your blog. But I seem to have been sucked in…
I collect stuff…I started out collecting postcards, as a teen then stamps. Then it was coins.
Eventually it evolved into wax seals – the wax seal stamps as well as the wax seals off of documents. Also I noticed I tend to also gravitate to canceled envelopes as I love the old postal cancellation stamps. I'm starting to gravitate towards grand tour intaglios now…..Thankfully none of these collections take up too much room!

Holliman to be inducted into Hall of Fame
The late John Holliman (ABJ '70) will be honored by the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame at a ceremony Oct. 19 in Atlanta. Holliman, along with Royal Marshall (AB '92) and Leonard Postero (BS '43), will be 2013 Legacy inductees. Jim Woodruff Jr. (M '38) will receive the 2013 Elmo Ellis Spirit Award. Born in 1948, Holliman grew up in Thomaston and began his radio career broadcasting Little League games at age 14. After graduating from UGA he worked at WSB Radio in Atlanta and later the Metromedia Radio Network in Washington, D.C. From 1974-80 he served as the agricultural editor for The Associated Press Radio Network, receiving a Peabody Award for a documentary. After moving to CNN he was White House correspondent and later NASA reporter, covering space shuttle missions. In 1991, along with Peter Arnett and Bernard Shaw, Holliman gave the first live report from the middle of an airstrike during the Persian Gulf War. Following Holliman's death in a 1998 car accident, Eleanor Helin of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory named an asteroid after him. Asteroid 6711 Holliman continues to travel through space.

"The Yankee is compelled to toil to make the world go around." Admiral Raphael Semmes, CSN
Pat Buchanan has a must-read piece that is perfect in every way except for its inappropriate title, "Why Neo-Isolationism Is Soaring." My nit-pick is that "isolationism" is what interventionists use to slam those who question their endless wars. It's the equivalent of the use of "racist" to put down anyone who objects to socialism — which is exactly what that term means. And as I've argued before, the interventionist abroad validates and reinforces the interventionist at home. Both have an other-worldly ideal that mere humanity never quite lives up to, requiring the noble idealists to spill a little more blood. All in the name of doing good, you see.
Pat points out that the interventionists have directly harmed this country. The facts he presents cannot be argued:
We invaded Panama, intervened in Haiti and Mogadishu, launched Desert Storm to liberate Kuwait, bombed Serbia for 78 days to force it to surrender its cradle province of Kosovo.
Came then the blowback of 9/11, following which we had the Afghan war to overthrow the Taliban and create a new democracy in the Hindu Kush, the invasion and occupation of Iraq to strip Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction he did not have, and the air war on Libya.
Others may celebrate the fruits of these wars but consider the costs:
A decade of bleeding with 8,000 U.S. dead, 40,000 wounded, $2 trillion sunk, Iraq and Libya disintegrating in tribal, civil and sectarian war, Afghanistan on the precipice, and al-Qaida no longer confined to Tora Bora but active in Pakistan, Libya, Iraq, Yemen and Syria.
While America was caught up in these wars, China swept past Britain, France, Germany and Japan to emerge as the second largest economy on earth. Using her $250-$300 billion annual trade surpluses with the United States, she has been locking up resources across Africa, Latin America, Australia and Asia.
Now Beijing has declared its own Monroe Doctrine to encompass the East and South China seas and all islands therein and to challenge the United States for hegemony over the Western Pacific.
The Afghan and Iraq wars, we should note, were supported by big-government interventionists of both the left and right. What's scary is that the same coalition is still at it today, demanding war on Iran, and blasting those who courageously uncover illegal surveillance by the federal government. Despite their differences, the left and right interventionists are united in their support of a powerful centralized government and the demonization of dissent.
The bottom line is that they're both cheering while the federal government chips away at what's left of our liberty. That makes them part of the problem, not the solution. Let's not forget that.

Enable caching to upload files
You're an Apple Safari browser user. After upgrading to OS X 10.4.8, you are unable to upload files to 37signals's Basecamp via that application's easy, web-based uploading tools. Or you are unable to upload your logo to Boxes & Arrows's events listing. Or you are stymied in your efforts to upload your photos to JPG Mag.
The fault lies not with Basecamp or Boxes & Arrows or JPG. Nor is it strictly because you're using an Intel Mac. Camino, Firefox, and Opera still let you upload images over http. The problem is Safari. But not every Intel-Mac-wielding Safari user suffers from it. Many continue to upload files after upgrading to 10.4.8. They glance pityingly at you out their passenger windows as they speed past.
What is the problem? You're a web designer. As a web designer, you've used a third-party product like Safari Enhancer to disable caching in your browser.
If you don't disable caching in your browser, then Safari becomes kind of useless to you as a web development tool, because Safari hangs onto files like a junkyard dog clomps onto a postman's thigh. Safari will hold onto outdated CSS, outdated text, outdated images. You'll quit and restart. You'll check your SFTP settings repeatedly, wondering why you keep uploading updated content to your web project, but Safari keeps showing you outdated content.
Safari shows outdated content for hours after other browsers (even browsers with caching enabled) have recognized that something changed. Safari does this because it makes browsing faster for ordinary users who are not web designers. It works. Unfortunately, what makes Safari fast and fun for ordinary users makes it a pain for web designers—unless they disable caching.
Before 10.4.8, you could disable caching in Safari and still upload files over http. After 10.4.8, you can't. It's not a feature, it's a bug. Until Apple fixes it, you can leave caching disabled in Safari and use Firefox, Camino, or Opera as your default browser—or re-enable caching, and add an hour of Stupid Time to your web development and testing process.

Weird…this is news to me. I'm on an Intel Mac and haven't had any problems refreshing properly in Safari. Now, I do most of my testing in Firefox (to take advantage of Chris Pederick's lovely Developer Toolbar) but I've never experienced any inability to refresh. Besides, Command+ Alt + E empties your cache easily enough if you are have trouble.
John said on 16 November 2006 at 10:25 am:
Option-reload always seems to reload everything for me, including referenced stylesheets and scripts. I don't use @import a lot, however. Maybe that's the source of the problem?
Luke Andrews said on 16 November 2006 at 10:52 am:
It's become a familiar refrain between me and my co-workers: when something isn't showing up, we always say: "reload twice?"
Safari seems to refresh only the HTML the first time you press reload, but the second one always gives it the kick in the pants needed to grab CSS, images etc.
The only exception I've found to this is Flash content. Sometimes the only way I can refresh that is by loading the actual movie in a separate tab, hitting reload and then reloading the original page.
Kenzie said on 16 November 2006 at 11:08 am:
I've never has to disable the cache in Safari either, during development or otherwise.
Eric Peacock said on 16 November 2006 at 11:22 am:
I second that holding down option and clicking reload always works. I use @import religiously too, so that doesn't seem to affect it.
In fact I've not suffered any pain with Safari's caching not refreshing. It seems like IE 6.x has been the browser that always clinged to web caches for me.
I'd also say that most useful third-party plug-ins for Safari almost always break and need updates every time Apple patches WebKit (the core of Safari).
I don't put much stock in Safari with third-party plug-ins for this reason. Maybe this will change as WebKit/Safari matures, but do realize that updating your system while running third-party Safari plug-ins is a risk.
That also applies to Mail plug-ins, though not as much in my experience (probably because Mail gets patched less).
Ray said on 16 November 2006 at 11:28 am:
I have a client who experiences the same things Luke describes. I have recently obtained use of a Hackintosh, a Mac running on a Celeron-based Wintel box. I run Safari and I now see exactly what my client sees. First pass, new html and horribly broken design; second pass, css loads, images drop into place and usually all is well.
Stupid Time indeed.
I've long developed sites on Windows boxes running Firefox, or something smarter than IE.x and test in others last, including Safari. I think maybe I'll continue doing it that way, and continue to heckle my client into dumping cache (dumping cash, he pays me hourly).
Oops. Did I say that out loud?
Tom said on 16 November 2006 at 11:30 am:
I've never had issues with Safari retaining outdated files (IE on the other hand…) At any rate, there is a simple solution, at least for CSS files — get the ReCSS bookmarklet
Marc Rinderknecht said on 16 November 2006 at 11:35 am:
I am webdesigner too and I often test in Safari and yes, I don't have the Safari enhancer.
Before reloading a page (after uploading new files to the server) I use the keyboard «Apple-Alt-E» whichs empties the cache of Safari. So all you webdesigners out there: Testing in Safari is still possible without quitting and restarting. Hitting this shortcut takes you a second or two before you hit «Apple-R» to reload.
leo said on 16 November 2006 at 12:04 pm:
"It seems like IE 6.x has been the browser that always clinged to web caches for me."

Also, I dunno. Why use Safari at all? Firefox kicks its azz.
Mau said on 16 November 2006 at 12:46 pm:
Why use Safari at all? Firefox kicks its azz
Aren't we all web design extraordinaries supposed to test in all possible browsers and environments?
FF rocks, can't argue that, but we'll have to keep doing this until all browsers display the same things exactly the same way. =) Me thinks.
John said on 16 November 2006 at 1:09 pm:
Zeldman: Just to clarify, you are holding down the option key when you click reload, right?
Bill Dolan said on 16 November 2006 at 1:13 pm:
Another problem with Safari's Caching, is that it has trained me to always assume that a file that won't update is because of the browser's inability to let go of the old one. When, in fact, I've put the new file in the wrong directory. This adds even more time to the process and can be maddening when in a hurry. I'll go through a few attempts to reload, then restart the browser, only to find that I misplaced the updated file, because 8 times out of 10, the file didn't update on the first try because of Safari's seeming nostalgia for the old.
Eric Peacock said on 16 November 2006 at 1:52 pm:
I'll add to my original comment that I think Safari and even other browsers might become more finicky when it comes to caching dynamic content. Or perhaps there could be issues with server time stamps. I'm sure there are many factors so we all might experience different problems than others.
I wonder if someone over at the Safari blog might know something that would help?
"Why use Safari at all? Firefox kicks its azz"
As someone just wrote, as developers it breaks down to hitting the top browsers and that means at least testing in Safari since it's the KHTML diplomat in the browser community. Firefox is the Gecko base and then you get all the flavors of IE. The top three engines that matter, and Safari share is growing enough that you should not overlook it.
Michael Johnson said on 16 November 2006 at 2:44 pm:
I keep my cache turned on while I'm testing in Safari, but I've gotten in the habit of doing two things to help clear the cache:
1. Hold down the Option key while clicking the reload icon. This clears the cache most of the time.
2. Use the "Empty Cache…" command under the Safari menu, which has the keyboard shortcut Command-Option-E. This almost always works.
I've grown so used to clearing the cache in Safari that I instinctively do it even when I'm not developing. Muscle memory, I guess.
John Lascurettes said on 16 November 2006 at 4:06 pm:
Jeffrey, can you show a screengrab of the difference on your "Advertsing Age" example? They looked identical to me. I took screen grabs from both Safari and Firefox and then overlaid them. They were pixel-for-pixel identical. I purposely leave my prefs for both programs alone so I can see what the majority other users are seeing.

Wiley said on 16 November 2006 at 6:42 pm:
Safari does occassionally fail to set things free. I'm not sure where the convention began — possibly with Netscape — but I always use shift + reload and it usually seems to do the trick. Also, when I use "preview" from BBEdit I have never encountered this problem in 10.4.8. (Of course, "Preview in BBEdit" uses OS X webkit — very equivalent to Safari — and it updates without reload.)
I doubt that the problem is Intel-mac specific in any way, but suppose it's possible . . .

Wiley said on 17 November 2006 at 12:59 pm:
Those affected by this trouble might try the process listed here.
It involves deleting the Safari cache folder found in:
~/Library/caches/ (tilde is your home directory in Mac OS X)
then creating a symbolic link to /dev/null with the same name, "Safari." This will cause Safari to send everything that ordinarily would go into the cache to /dev/null instead, deleting it immediately.
It may also work to set the "Safari" cache folder to "Read Only" in the Finder using Get Info.

Camino (Gecko) handles this quite well, if the page (or its dependencies:images, stylesheets) has been changed server side, the browser will fetch a fresh one correctly. According to multiple reports (including Zeldman), in Safari on 10.4.8, you cannot set the cache to 0 anymore (whatever trick worked in the past fails on 10.4.8).

Johnny2Bad said on 16 December 2006 at 3:51 am:
Disable caching in Safari via Terminal; you don't need 3rd party fixer uppers and the problems they can create. If you're not familair with the Terminal, get familiar first. Although this is not dangerous, done properly, playing with a shell is dangerous done wrong. Without further ado, assuming you know what you are doing, the command is:
rm -fr ~/Library/Caches/Safari;ln -s /dev/null ~/Library/Caches/Safari
To revert:
rm ~/Library/Caches/Safari
If you are wary of the Terminal but are OK with the idea of shell commands in general over a 3rd party front-end for a shell command (what most of 'em are) try CLIX from RixStep.
Cool … no preview. 'Guess everyone here is OK with code.

Matthew said on 4 July 2007 at 2:58 pm:

shopping said on 17 July 2007 at 6:51 pm:
I have had this problem on occasion. I suppose I have just learned to be patient with it. But then, I'm only an amateur with a handful of sites of my own, and perhaps they aren't fancy enough that I need to check them frequently as I program. Still, if you are able to access the page via a different browser, I'm not sure what the problem is. Use the faster browser to double-check as you work, and then be patient with safari after you've finished your work. A small price to pay for those who are doing the browser to get faster access to your work. But then, I try to practice a little zen patience, and so I may not be the best person to be giving advice on what is too long to wait for something.
Portrait artist said on 31 July 2007 at 5:04 am:
Is the process on clearing cache Safari 1.0 or Safari 2.0 the same? Is it true that when you set your browser to not cache it will slow down your web page viewing? Although this isn't a perfect solution because some caching may still occur but it does help.

Fairly infatuated with this band and this album in particular at the moment.
agirlwithhairlikethis: Scott Pilgrim: The 7 Evil Exes Drinking Challenge
How to play: Put in your Scott Pilgrim DVD, Blu-Ray, or whatever you use to watch it. Each drink is meant to be consumed after an ex is defeated. You can either mix drinks before hand, or after you're finished your current if you're short on glasses. Overall, the containers needed would be:
- 4 Shot Glasses
- 2 Drinking Glasses
- 1 Double Shot Glass
You can get away with having one of each as well, just making it easier I guess. :P
So onto the drinks.
Matthew Patel - The Fireball
- Captain Morgan's.
- Top with Bacardi 151
CAUTION! : This shot, CAN be lit on fire. If you decide to do so BE CAREFUL. Originally we had it in the recipe that they needed to be lit, but we had a BIG issue putting them out. For this reason, I heavily advise NOT TO IGNIGHT YOUR SHOT UNLESS YOU ARE 100% SURE OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
Lucas Lee - The Grind
- Shot of Jagermeister
- Cup of Red Bull (We used NOS, but traditionally these are done with Redbull)
When Lucas Lee gets on the rail, drop the shot glass into the redbull, and chug. If you don't finish it by the time he's KO'd, you need to start over.
Todd Ingram - Fair Trade Blend with Soy Milk
- 1 shot of Vodka
- 1 shot of Bailey's
- 1 shot of Kahlua
- Mix in Silk Soy Milk. (Chocolate if you want it to look like Coffee)
Roxy Richter - The Sexy Phase
- 1/2 shot of Buttershots
- 1/2 shot of Bailey's
Ken and Kyle Katayanagi - The Twin Dragons
- 1 shot Momokawa Diamond
- 1 shot Momokawa Pearl
Layer the 2 on top of one and other in a double shot glass.
Gideon Gordon Graves - GGG Bomb
- 1/2 shot Grey Goose Vodka
- 1/2 shot Goldschlager
