The Los Angeles Dodgers took a $147 million risk with Zack Greinke, and it seems like he may be off to a rough start.
The pitcher returned to the Dodgers training camp on Tuesday after he met with the team's physician for some inflammation in his elbow, which kept him from one start.
He was given some anti-inflammatory meds and the ever popular platelet-rich plasma injection.
Greinke was asked about the injury and said:
"I didn't really know exactly what the problem is, and I still don't. They might, but I don't. I'm not a doctor, I'm just kind of going what they are saying to me. I don't have any definitive stuff to tell you guys. I don't know if it's the same problem as I've had in the past, and I don't know if it's a little different. Anything you all are writing is premature. Nothing is 100% sure. They know more about it than I do. What they're saying is probably accurate. Anything I tell you, I don't know anything about it. I'm just going by what they're telling me. They have a better plan on it than I do."
So, while Greinke doesn't have any clue about what's wrong with him, Don Mattingly does and said that he thinks the pitcher will be able to start his scheduled game on April 2nd. He reiterated, though, that if he wasn't ready, he'd sit out, and that he wouldn't push Greinke just because he said he thought he'd be ready.
The worst thing to do is make a player come back from injury before he is healed and ready to go, but it seems like whatever is wrong with him shouldn't take too long to work out.

"Meleko Mokgosi (b. 1981 Francistown, Botswana) uses painting to interrogate the very concerns that inform its death drive: the limits of representation, the politics of abstraction, and the mode of viewing enabled by rectangular canvases on a gallery wall. The artist's technical acuity delivers a kind of critical visuality, asking viewers to draw out affinities between experiencing and interpreting. The works on view here are part of a larger series dealing with the African postcolonial situation. Pax Kaffraria: Sikhuselo Sembumbulu (2012) addresses the question of nationalism in relation to globalization and resistance. The work meditates on sikhuselo sembumbulu, a Xhosa term meaning "bulletproof." This is a reference to the Xhosa cattle killings of 1856–57, which were intended to drive away colonial powers and simultaneously resurrect ancestors. The series of works frames the historic event and considers a legacy of resistance that continues today—namely, the persistent drive to become bulletproof. At the same time this history is represented as only partially available to viewers, suggesting the difficulty of cultural translation."

Just a general question really as I can't find our network man at the moment - We have a Promissor server and it has a Catuser windows account on it - I know the other week it said 'This password will expire in x days' and sure enough this morning the exam team can't log in using it!
So would Edexcel have changed this password via remote access somehow or do they not do that? It is just the previous password sounded like a typical Edexcel one!

Every once in a while I will be watching an old film and right in the middle of the film there is this awkwardly placed fashion show. I believe they were intended to showcase the costume designer's work who created the clothing for the actors in the film. I love this idea. And who doesn't love a good fashion show. Here is a list of movies that feature fashion shows. This list was compiled by my cousin, Kris DeForest, who knows about film. Enjoy and please let us know if we have left a movie off the list.

PASO ROBLES, Calif. — The host was a good cook, famous for his mashed potatoes. No — not potatoes. Beans. Baked beans. That was it. Brooke Mayo held a finger to her cheek. "Old age is getting to me," she said at last.
The images of that night are somewhere in that head of hers. They're clear as day, just a little hard to find, like a carousel of slides stashed in the attic a long time ago. After all, it's been 72 years. Brooke Mayo was 19 then — bright and beautiful.
It was late November in 1941. Europe was in the grip of war, Pearl Harbor was days away, and Brooke was preparing to move to London with a civilian Army corps. But for one night, everyone would try to forget all that. There was a dinner party in the Hollywood Hills to kick off the holiday season. Nice, not too fancy. The famous baked beans. A turkey. The host wore a belt buckle encrusted with tiny diamonds.
Mother-daughter reunion: An article in the Dec. 25 Section A about a mother reunited with her long-lost daughter said the daughter's father worked for Lockheed Martin when she was born in 1942. Lockheed Corp. did not merge with Martin Marietta to create Lockheed Martin until 1995.
Brooke had driven herself to the party. After dinner, she walked down a set of stairs to head home. He came out of nowhere, she said, and raped her. She never saw his face.
You didn't go to the police. Not back then. "They would have said it was my fault," Brooke said. "In those days, the man was never at fault. For anything."
When she found out she was pregnant, she considered getting an abortion. But it would have been a back-alley thing. "Women were dying," Brooke said. "I wanted to live."
So she went home. She went home to her mother, and she cried, and together, they made a decision: Brooke would postpone her plans to move to London. She would have the baby. "But I'd have to give her up."
The baby arrived one morning in 1942. Cherub-cheeked, just like her mother.
When you were giving a baby up for adoption, they were supposed to just whisk her away. But a little before midnight, a kindly nurse bent the rules and brought her into the room for a few minutes.
Brooke named her Delphine.
"She was so beautiful to me," Brooke said. "I held that little darling. But then I handed her back. I handed her back and I wasn't going to think about her again."
Brooke moved to London not long after the birth, staying for a good chunk of the war — arranging housing and other logistics for military officers, scampering underground into the Tube when the bomb sirens went off, gas mask in hand.
After she came back to America, she called to check on Delphine. Just to make sure she was OK.
"I called the hospital," Brooke said. "The lady said she had passed away. I couldn't believe my ears. I said: 'You mean she's dead?' She said: 'Yes. That's it. She's dead.'"
Brooke begged the woman for more information. But there wasn't any.
It felt like Delphine had barely existed in the first place. And now she was gone.

Slave Castles
El Mina Castle
Cape Coast Castle
Cape Coast Courtyard Entrance, to the left Male Dungeons
Door of No Return
The very last threshold slaves would cross in Ghana before traveling to the New
In order to be successful in the future one must be aware of the past, in doing
this it will prevent making the same mistakes in the future. Visiting Cape Coast
and El Mina Castle was just a stepping stone to remembering the past and realizing
how far humanity has come. Walking down the very halls into the cells and dungeons
where many of our ancestors spent their last days in their homeland was astonishing.
Darkness and an indistinguishable smell of bodies and ammonia filled the cells and
dungeons. The presences of these rooms were eerie and cannot be forgotten by anyone
who experiences them. As the tour guide describes the previous setup and conditions
the slaves faced, it forces one to relive the past through literature, stories,
and movies. Even these forms of interpreting and depicting slavery are ways of remembering
the past and helping with the future.
Male Dungeons
Markings symbolize where the chains and shackles were placed on the walls
Rooms built to fit 300 to 400 men with little ventilation and light
There is no romanticism about the slave castles and as bad as the past may hurt
at times it cannot be forgotten or ignored. In visiting these two castles, one can
and will identify and connect with a piece of information provided from the tour
guide, dungeon in the castle, or one of the exhibits in Cape Coast Castle's Museum.
Wherever the connection is made the individual will hold on to that moment and share
it with others, which in return will give them insight and secure a brighter future.

A yellow hue of the skin caused by abnormally high levels of bilirubin in the body. As red blood cells are replaced in the body, the waste products from this replacement are normally eliminated by the liver. Bilirubin is one of those waste products. Before birth, the placenta is very efficient in removing bilirubin from the baby's blood; the baby's liver does not need to remove the bilirubin. After delivery the infant's liver must take over this elimination function. It takes a few weeks for the baby's liver to fully achieve this function. Until the liver can keep up with the formation of bilirubin, there is a build-up of bilirubin in the body. Bilirubin is yellow, and when the levels are high, it appears in the skin and other tissues, as a yellowish color.
At low to moderate levels the main effect of bilirubin is to make the skin appear yellow. However, when the levels of bilirubin get high, the bilirubin can enter the cells of the brain and damage them. Concern about brain injury prompts frequent measurement of the bilirubin level in newborns. It is much easier to treat the bilirubin level when it is only moderately high rather than when it is dangerously high.
At low levels of bilirubin accumulation, increasing an infant's fluid intake and using phototherapy (light therapy) may be all that is required to reduce the bilirubin level or keep it at a safe level. At high levels of bilirubin, an exchange transfusion that essentially exchanges the baby's own bilirubin-laden blood with low-bilirubin-containing blood from an adult donor may be necessary to reduce the risk of brain injury. It is the need to keep the bilirubin level from getting too high and the complex nature of the exchange transfusion for high bilirubin levels that prompts doctors to measure and be concerned about the bilirubin level. Many hospitals are currently adopting the practice of checking the level of bilirubin, of every newborn, either with an external meter or by checking the blood directly, for earlier detection of this problem.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email
ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Phoebe Putney's purchase of HCA-Palmyra Medical Center should be finalized by March 1st. That's the day Phoebe expects to close the deal and take over the hospital and other assets.
It's a transaction worth roughly $200 Million with complicated legal maneuvering.
This is a deal Phoebe execs initially wanted to close two days ago, January 31st. But as the process moved forward, it became much more complicated. Now, they believe all the papers will be signed less from a month from Wednesday.
The purchase of another Hospital by Phoebe Putney has been far more complicated and time consuming than originally planned, but should be complete within the next few weeks. CEO Joel Wernick said, "We feel fairly confident that we'll have most of this wrapped up by the first of March, obviously there's been a great deal of detail that's gone into this and certainly a great deal of effort by both the seller and the buyer."
On Wednesday, both the hospital board and the hospital authority met to approve resolutions that will set the closing date for March 1st, as well as outline how the approximately $200 Million transaction will take place.
Attorney Tommy Chambless said, "It will be reverted back to its ultimate owner, that's the hospital authority of Albany/Dougherty County and that's the money that'll be used to make the purchase from HCA."
As for current Palmyra employees, CEO Joel Wernick says they will remain, though 22 have already been told they'll be cut from the Phoebe workforce because they don't meet hiring requirements.
Wernick said, "I would disagree with the term cuts. Once again, we're talking about an employment process and our commitment was to employ all eligible workers."
Wernick says other employment checks will still take place." Other eligibility requirements, as I've talked to you before, such as substance abuse and criminal background checks, those still need to be done, but besides those pieces of the puzzle, they'll be no modification of staffing at all planned."
And he hopes those Palmyra employees will officially be Phoebe employees in less than a month.

As for the book itself, info can be found here. The artbook will have around 70 full colored pages. The price of each one (in preorders)- $25 USD (excludes shipping and Paypal fee) If you are interested please order now as I did contend the price down for preorders, but they intend to raise it quite a bit when preorders are finished. IN A WEEK! PRE-ORDERS WILL BE RECEIVED UNTIL SEPT. 10th All of the pieces are about man, nature, and creation ranging from mellow to epic.
My piece, Crack Collect Create is about making something beautiful out of something else. (except in my own odd flare) I am considering entering this painting in a contest or possibly showing it at an opening, but in both cases I will be advertising the book as well.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
A blast of vanilla and menthol-infused boysenberries erupts from the glass, teased by high-toned floral notes and a faint whiff of smoke. The lush entry is dripping with blackberries and ripe raspberries, followed by a mid palate rich with milk chocolate-covered black currants and plums mixed with hints of coffee, pomegranate, fresh tobacco and cardamom. Lush, sweet tannins build in the exit and pull the fruity core of this wine through to a lengthy and pleasant finish. It's hard to imagine this wine getting more enjoyable, but I believe it should pick up even more palate weight with an additional year or two in bottle and continue to give pleasure for quite a while.

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

"The Killing Of Osama Bin Laden Shows How to Win A Modern PR War."
Equally impressive as the military operation to kill Osama Bin Laden is the media strategy that accompanied it, which embraces a post-Twitter world where images can inspire millions to rage — and retaliation.
Amid the stunning news of the surgical American commando operation that killed Osama Bin Laden, one feature looms large in the background: The extraordinarily careful, strategic, and savvy media management of the strike and its aftermath.
Perhaps the most notable feature has been the complete lack of battlefield imagery; instead, all we've gotten so far is the powerful, somber announcement from President Obama at the lectern in the East Room, and old file images of Bin Laden. (We've also gotten a blurry image of the Bin Laden compound, perhaps taken after the fact, and some ridiculous faked imagery.) Images from the scene outside Islamabad may yet emerge, but for now, the lack of them reads as a savvy, precisely calibrated decision.

You should take a moment and read the KRAP he posts on Dennis Prager's thread daily.
He does believe himself to be an intellectual X-Trudranaire.
He's about to learn a very valuable lesson in short order..........social security.......gonna go bye-bye.......under Obummer's regime........also claimed to be a monk who took the vow of proverty. Why would a monk who took the vow of poverty worry about not recieving a SS check............, because he's a lying liberal troll................just saying!! Not that there's anything wrong with that.......lololol
clever, yes.
junk is matter of interpretation.

When I was growing up, an older member of the family used to say, "What you don't know would make a big book." Now that I am an older member of the family, I would say to anyone, "What you don't know would fill more books than the Encyclopedia Britannica." At least half of our society's troubles come from know-it-alls, in a world where nobody knows even 10 percent of all.
Some people seem to think that, if life is not fair, then the answer is to turn more of the nation's resources over to politicians --...

Listening to the Evolution of an Art Form in the East Village, NYC
Come in. Take a seat. Anywhere will do. Let your conversation wander idly—but be ready to abandon it completely at a moment's notice. At the Nuyorican Poets Café the words being spoken from the stage deserve your full attention. Since 1973, the Nuyorican has given a voice to the marginalized, becoming a boundary-free melting pot for genre-busting artists. Every night of the week performers step into the spotlight to shed light on their corner of the world, facing even the grittiest truths head on. Attend the Wednesday Night Slam Open and you're sure to witness a few expert wordsmiths, but what's more, you'll hear poets putting their longings, their fears, and their personal histories out on display. Think twice before volunteering to be a judge, if the crowd doesn't agree with your score they'll boo, but it does give you the chance to represent when someone says something that send chills racing down your spine. Like finger-snapping or foot-stomping, it's another way for you to let them know: "I hear you."

Step 1: What you'll need
You will need:
- carboard boxes
- 2 L pop bottle
- plastic container (I used a yogurt container)
- masking tape
- scrap paper or newsprint
- twine or string
- saran wrap or other plastic cling wrap
- white fabric (a cheap flat sheet works well)
- white glue
- red and black felt
- wire (I used thin jewelry making wire but you can use whatever you have on hand or just skip it)
- small toy pumpkin (I found some party favour whistles that were the right size)
Step 2: Build the body
Zero's body is pretty simple, it's just a head on the end of a long pyramid.
Start by cutting a cardboard box in half diagonally. Secure the end with tape.
For the neck, cut a plastic container to size and attach it to the body with tape.
To build the head, cut off part of the pop bottle and wrap it in tape to make it more narrow at the open end. Add tear drop shaped cardboard sides and a strip of thin cardboard to round out the back. Build up the shape of the head with scrunched up paper and more tape. Be sure to properly shape around the eyes with strips of cardboard and more paper.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I also think the difficulty in Cataclysm (especially the opening tier) accentuated this, especially since there was no buff like there was in ICC.
For ICC, it was not horribly hard to kill the first 11 bosses in heroic. Sure, Putricide and Sindragosa weren't pushovers but they weren't the slogfests that Sinestra or Council could really be. LK took a lot of beating heads against the wall and perhaps they should have made prior fights harder so that the jump between the two wasn't so profound.
But Cataclysm...well, Cataclysm was profound. Between Al'akir, Sinestra, Cho'gall, Nefarian, Council and pre-nerf V&T you had a lot of long, grueling fights on heroic to go through. It was nice in the sense that content wasn't exhausted - but it also felt like there was always another thing ahead.
Firelands looks to be more like the ICC model, where the first 6 bosses aren't so bad but Ragnaros is incredibly hard. Maybe that'll be more fun.
Also, for those saying that they disagree: note that she holds Ulduar as the best raid they've done, and the argument is not about normal vs. heroics - the argument is about normal achievements vs heroic fights. If they made the meta about beating the heroic mode, not beating the heroic mode AND doing the fight in a weird way, that'd be better and more enjoyable. And I'd agree: beating Ulduar fights largely felt like an accomplishment. Beating ICC fights felt more like a relief.

Like Elvis and Tupac before him, Apple icon Steve Jobs is showing up in all kinds of unexpected places after his passing. This latest sighting comes in a commercial for a Honda SCR 110 scooter that channels The Jobs himself. Up close, the male actor isn't a ringer, but the black turtleneck and design theme leave no doubt about his inspiration.
The Chinese-language tag for this commercial says "Wuyang Honda Motorcycle." We don't know if they made it, but a post house called CN Post Production takes credit for some of the work on it. Follow the jump to check out the bizarre advertisement, and for thie other side of strange, you can check out their JianLi Bo apple juice spot.

This game is AMAZING! I honestly can't stop playing it. My heart start racing and my adrenalin pumps. You will eventually start to amaze even your self as you start to accomplishing seemingly imposable tasks in inconceivably short periods of time. I whine, cry and bitch all the time that the gaming industry doesn't make games for TRUE gamers anymore, that most new games take no skill or thought and are far too easy and not at all challenging, but the phrase "casual gamers" isn't in super meat boys vocabulary. While a casual games would find this game appealing, this game was clearly made for the most hardcore "UBER" gamers. My only regret was that I bought this game on STEAM and didn't buy the "ULTRA Edition" from the Newgrounds shop, the Ultra Edition is packed with all kinds of extras, I am going to end up buying it as well sometime in the near future. Don't make the same mistake I did :( buy it from NEWGROUNDS :D
Anyway I am going to draw SMB a couple more times soon, so keep an eye out for him, and thanks for checking this out!!!!!!!!!!.

Dr. Tiffany L. Kershner
Adjunct Teaching Assistant Professor and Coordinator for Distinguished Scholarships and Fellowships
Hailing from a small coal-mining town in northeastern Pennsylvania , Dr. Tiffany Kershner began her training in anthropology at the University of Iowa where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa and with Distinction and Honors. After Iowa, she received a Masters Degree in Anthropology from SUNY-Albany. Her training continued at Indiana University where she focused on linguistics and African languages, completing another MA and then her doctorate in Linguistics. After several years teaching at Kansas State University, Dr. Kershner recently joined NC State in Fall 2011 as their new Coordinator for Distinguished Scholarships and Fellowships. Dr. Kershner has an extensive background in linguistic and cultural anthropology, descriptive linguistics, and African languages. She has done intensive fieldwork amongst the Sukwa culture of Malawi, through which she received funding through a Fulbright Fellowship and a National Science Foundation Dissertation Improvement Grant.

Dr. Charles Ludington
Teaching Assistant Professor
Chad Ludington studied history at Yale University as an undergraduate, but before pursuing his doctorate at Columbia University he had a variety of jobs and adventures. To wit, he played professional basketball in France, traveled very slowly by train from Seville to Hong Kong, worked as a prep chef, a wine store salesman, and a genealogist for a Franco-Irish-English-American Family. While in graduate school at Columbia he continued to work in a wine store, and was also a high school JV basketball coach. He is proud to say that his team was the second-best JV high school team in a metropolitan area of over 8 million people. Admittedly, that metropolitan area was London and not New York City. Related to my historical interest in food and wine, he spends an inordinate amount of time cooking, thinking about food, and contemplating what wines will complement the food he is making.
Dr. Ludington's research interests have focused on the connections between political culture, political thought, and material culture in England, Scotland, and Ireland (c. 1500 to c. 1860) in a European and Atlantic context. He has published works on the history of British and Irish political thought, the Huguenot Diaspora in Ireland, and the political meanings and uses of wine in England and Scotland. He recently completed his first book, The Politics of Wine in Britain: A New Cultural History (Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013). He argues that the taste for wine, meaning what wine one consumed and how one consumed it, was an expression of political beliefs (and therefore party allegiance), competing conceptions of masculinity, social class, and social aspirations. Consequently, the taste for wine both reflected and helped to construct political power. As well as being a major study of political culture during the very time the British state was being created, his book is a methodological attempt to move beyond the years of theorizing about "New Cultural History," and actually to write it. Thus, his book endeavors to reconcile the materialist insights of social historians of the previous generation and the dexterous decoding of language, cultural practices, and material objects that is the distinguishing feature of more recent cultural history.
Dr. Ludington's current research interests include a global history of cheddar cheese, and a study of the role of Irish merchants in the invention of first growth Bordeaux wines, the wines for which the region is most famous.
Dr. Alicia Ebbett McGill
Assistant Professor
Alicia McGill is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History. She received a BA in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology from Bryn Mawr College and a PhD in Anthropology from Indiana University. Dr. McGill has always been fascinated by human diversity in the past and present and the ways that people connect with history and has conducted archaeological and cultural anthropology research in Cyprus, Honduras, Belize, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Colorado. Dr. McGill has academic interests in heritage, public history, and anthropological studies of education. She has conducted extensive research in Belize, focusing on the ways constructions of the past are promoted through public venues like tourism, education, and archaeology, and how these constructions shape the cultural production of young citizens. Dr. McGill is particularly interested in the ways messages about the past are interpreted and negotiated by teachers and youth as they navigate racial and ethnic politics in the present. Her most recent publications focus on national cultural diversity rhetoric in the Belizean state and intersections between colonial dynamics, community connections with the natural landscape, and local heritage work.
At NC State Dr. McGill teaches courses on the Ancient Americas, Frauds and Mysteries in History, Cultural Resource Management, and International Cultural Heritage. In the next few years, she hopes to take NC State students to Belize to learn about archaeological research, tourism, and environmental conservation.
Dr. John D. Morillo
Associate Professor
Dr. John Morillo has been teaching Eighteenth-Century and Romantic literature at NC State for twenty years, and directed Graduate Programs in English from 2002-2005. In 2013 he was awarded both the College of Humanities and Social Sciences Outstanding Teacher Award and the Alumni Association Outstanding Teacher Award. He enjoys teaching literature and theories of literary interpretation, the rise and fall of genres, and foundations of research in the humanities. He has taught all ranks and ages of students in graduate and undergraduate programs. He has been a member of the board of directors for First Year Inquiry Classes for freshmen, and has taught classes for that program, as well as English Honors courses.
His research has focused on the relationship between the Neoclassical and Romantic periods, and the history of representations of emotion in literature and criticism during those periods in Britain, and he has published in all of those areas. He is now interested in human-animal relations in the same periods. His own undergraduate degree is from Reed College, where he majored in English and minored in French, and his MA and PhD are from the University of Chicago. He likes to play music and to build things, including fish ponds and HO-scale train layouts. His pets include a fire-bellied newt over thirty years old. In the best of all possible worlds he would spend more time playing tennis and music, fly-fishing, and traveling with his family, Andrea Atkin, who works in NCSU's First Year College, and William, who is a student at Martin Middle.
Dr. Jennifer Anne Nolan-Stinson
Assistant Professor
Dr. Jennifer Nolan-Stinson earned her Ph.D. in the interdisciplinary field of American Studies from the University of Maryland in 2008, and teaches courses on twentieth-century U.S. literature and culture.

Her interest in interdisciplinary work began as an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin, where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa with majors in English and Philosophy, and she followed this with an MA in English Language and Literature from the University of Virginia. Dr. Nolan-Stinson has published and presented on twentieth- and twenty-first-century American reading practices, genre reading, teaching American literature, and the materiality of the book, and her current research interests include ethnographic approaches to studying reading and the intersections between consumption, display, design, and marketing of paperback books. She also will serve as President of the Zeta of North Carolina chapter of Phi Beta Kappa for the 2013 - 2014 academic year.
Dr. Thomas P. Phillips
Having completed a multidisciplinary Ph.D. at Concordia University, Montreal, in 2007, I am currently active as an English lecturer, a fiction and theory writer, and a composer of minimalist, electro-acoustic music. I have had the great fortune of seeing these creative endeavors come to fruition in book publication and in numerous CD releases. I also perform music, alone and in collaboration, on an international scale. However, literary scholarship (most recently on brevity and the contemporary French novel) and pedagogy remain central to my artistic work in so far as they afford an invaluable theoretical foundation, not to mention an immensely pleasurable career.

Your dot coefficients were buffed, then brought back a bit, but they are still higher now then before that buff, so please, shut up about that coefficient 'nerf'.
Also, it's not exactly a huge nerf to warlocks. If you go up against a fully pvp geared player, he'll have about 400 resilience, that's about 10% (so it would be like he had about 1k health extra if he had about 10k health), tell me, is that really that bad? Besides, if blizzard is really gonna remove the gearswapping from arena, that patch will be a huge buff to the warlock class.
If you have about 350 resitance to shadow, you're mitigating 90% of the damage, and seeing how a lot of high ranked 2v2 teams have a shadowresist set in their bags, stopping gear changing will be a huge buff...
I mean, what do you prefer, 10% mitigation or 90% mitigation, which also effects your fear and other utility spells

We look at them as simpler times
living in the days of a century ago:
street noise, clothes and sheets on the lines,
children playing ball, moms rolling bread dough.
There are no cars and horse buggies,
no vendors that jell and wake babies;
in one of the buildings husband and wife rant,
not hearing the landlord's voice demanding rent.
Bill who lives on the third floor was the captain of an oil ship,
has left his pipe in the ashtray and spade cards and taken a nap
so tired of having read all noon a pile of novel and fiction books;
with half bottle of whiskey in his guts, he sleeps but licks his lips.

Anything New Actually
happening at Seaside Mariana?
I mean,, like construction?
I doubt it
In the last week or two I saw a bunch of their press releases -- looking very much like ones from 1, 2, ... years ago. Sounds like it is just their "season" to send out more stuff.
And can you get to the place!
I am in Pochimil as I write....I am like 500 meters from the end of the "only one" (In LA we call the the coast highway "The One", in Mashachopa/Pochomil It's the ONLY ONE) So another 30 minutes to your dream come true, and that is 5 miles.
The Gophers
I read this joke of an article and laughed...
"Located on a dramatic natural slope that rises 60 feet vertically and 600 feet horizontally from the beach, the property will afford owners and guests' breathtaking views of both the ocean and surrounding countryside".
WTF....Its only 60 feet!!!! You will see the place in front of you and that's about it.

Bash Compactor: Golden Girl
Amanda Lepore is a legend. And while the iconic blonde is probably best known for some of her couture body parts, what really impresses me is her stamina.
Last Tuesday night, in a penthouse at the Gansevoort Park Avenue Hotel, Lepore hosted the first night of a new weekly party she's doing with Kenny Kenny and Joey Israel. Since the lady herself had requested my presence—via an all-caps email, no less—I threw on my high heels and went. When I arrived, it was obvious that all of New York nightlife had shown up; no less than Joey Arias took to the stage around 1 a.m. to perform an impromptu song. Unfortunately, due to a snafu with the management, the rooftop never opened and Kenny Kenny stormed out and quit.
Then, on Saturday night at the Highline Ballroom, Lepore celebrated the release of her new album, I…Amanda Lepore. At the club, the room was arranged more cozily than usual, with couches in a semi-circle, the VIP sections on each side. On the bill were The Ones, Jonté, Bishi, Roxy Cottontail, Deluka and Neon Glitz, as well as hosts Joey Arias and Ana Matronic, and DJs Jon Jon Battles and Bill Coleman. Guests included Susanne Bartsch and Pat Field. Getting into the VIP section was a must, since the inhabitants included Courtney Love in a basic black dress and not too much makeup—nice of her to not upstage the woman of the hour. Also in the pack were photographersDavid La Chapelle, Marco Ovando and Karl Giant, whose photos were blended into a series of videos projected onto a screen. La Chapelle mounted the stage and dedicated a poem to Lepore, his muse for the past 10 years.
Lepore finally appeared, carried aloft by a bevy of male dancers—in jackets but no pants—singing her song "My Way." The platinum blond didn't just stand around looking pretty, but made her way through her other numbers, like "Champagne," "I Know What Boys Want," "Cotton Candy," "Marilyn" and "My Hair Looks Fierce."
"I don't know much about clothes but my hair looks fierce," she sang. She had a point, since she often wears as little clothing as possible. To break up the performances, her long-time collaborator Cazwell performed "Get My Money Back," "I Seen Beyoncé at Burger King" and "All Over My Face."
Taking a breather from all of the excitement, a friend of mine found Love smoking a cigarette outside of the club. Playing dumb, he asked if she was living in New York these days. "I've lived here for two and a half years, but no one believes it with my L.A. attitude," she said. "I live with my gay. I can't be without my gay."
That was a feeling that pervaded the entire evening.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Black Keys told a federal judge that they have settled copyright infringement lawsuits against Pizza Hut and The Home Depot claiming misuse of their music in commercials.
The band alleged that the song "Lonely Boy" was improperly used to sell power tools, and "Gold on the Ceiling" to sell pizza.
Bing: Listen to the Black Keys
The Grammy-winning band sued in June, and both companies denied copying the songs.
Attorneys for the band informed a federal judge in Los Angeles of the Pizza Hut settlement on Monday. The settlement agreement with The Home Depot was reached earlier this month.
No details of the settlements were included in court filings. Representatives of the companies and the band did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
This was clearly about the money and rightly so. The Black Keys are not against commercialization of their music as they have allowed commercials, TV shows and movies to use their music, but they deserve to get paid. When the Pizza Hut commercial came on the first time, I really thought they had paid The Black Keys. When I heard they stole the song, I thought it was a slam dunk case for the group...
HOw can they sit and deny when its right there on the friggin commercial.??!!!
Guess the a-wholes of the pizza butt advertising braintrust found out that the "Keys" are NOT just a couple of Nobodies. They BIG now bowazzzzz..Dey Big!
Get "El Camino" and fight the visions of greazy pizza and soon you be hooked to da music man

Playdough Picture Scenes
We're always trying to think of new resources to add to the playdough table to inspire some fresh, fun and "new" creations.
To record some of our favourite playdough experiences, I wrote a blog post chock full of inspiring ideas titled: 10 fun ways to create with play dough that can be found here.
Recently, we remembered another idea that we have enjoyed in the past – creating play dough picture scenes.
To create play dough picture scenes, gather different textured items that will create patterns on the play dough as well as a piece of coloured card, or paper, to use as a canvas to create on.
We have some patterned rolling pins, texture plates (from the local craft store) and we also use craft supplies (such as different pieces of lace) and household items (straws, buttons, plastic spoons) to create patterns on the play dough.
Miss Three was inspired by the different patterned playdough shapes to create some fish.
Miss Seven created a colourful fairy house in a vibrant fairy garden. I really like the rainbow tree!
Master Five created a "dog garden with a puppy palace and colourful bridge". Master Five spent a lot of time experimenting with different ways to create leaves for his tree. He loved the idea of using the "icing tube" (from a playdough cupcake set) to create green long swirls which were rolled into "snails" (as my children call them) to create bushes for his tree.
From the archives:
Fairy scenes have long been a favourite with my oldest daughter. Several years ago, she created "Fairy beach" featured below:
Fairy beach consisted of colourful fairies at the beach on a sunny day and a rainbow (with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow) over the beach. The coloured sausage shapes were surfboards. On either side of the beach were two dark blue playdough islands, connected by a red and pink bridge. One island was surrounded by trees and coloured strips of sand.
I'm sure that in the future there will be many more imaginative playdough picture scenes created and enjoyed in our home.

Your children's artwork is always so impressive. But even more impressive is how you continually come up with ideas that work across the age gap. Well done!
What a cool idea!!
These look like so much fun, very engaging. Love the use of the texture plates too.
Pauline, Lessons Learnt Journal
What a great idea! Will be placing some coloured cardboard out on our playdough table next week xo P

In short: Excellent race - one for the diary.In full: A glorious day, excellent organisation, great course, 5 water stations, technical tee, nice goody bag, 2 VERY steep hills, but the rest of the course is pretty fast.Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: Hills? They weren't, they were just lumpy bits!In full: Lovely race and for a relatively new one, well organised. Nothing went wrong and the overall feel was very good.The pre-race blurb and chat kept mentioning two monster hills - even the elevation graph got me worried - and all we got was 1/2 mile of playful incline! nothing really bad, it didn't drag on anything like as advertised! Bit cheeky of the photographer to camp at the top of the second one, though it may have made a few people up their work rate at the crest!Great race, lovely route, my fastest 1/2 for 4 years, see you next year!PS. Whoever thought of a sign saying "the sweep vehicle is catching you" and one "you won't get a PB here" - halfway up a hill - deserves a smack!Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: Excellent organisation, challenging course, good goodybagIn full: Fourth time doing this one and the organisation has really improved - thoroughly enjoyed today and a PB to boot. Lots of useful stuff in goody bag and really like the T-Shirt - marshalls were encouraging - will definitely be back again next year. Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: Superb organisation - great raceIn full: Top marks for organisation - like clockwork.Great technical T-shirt + goody bag.Stadium finish Very friendly folksLoads of parkingLoads of yummy cakes !Thanks to all the marshalls - lots of them who did an excellent jobCourse itself has a few undulations and a couple of short steep hills but also has some fast gradual descents.Probably one of the best organised 1/2 marathons you can do.and a new PB :0) I'll be back next yearDate of review: March 7, 2010
In short: Amazing weather, excellent organisation, a tough race but with it being my first half I'm slightly biasedDate of review: March 7, 2010
In short: Perfect weather today, well organised and an a very nice technical top and goody bag.Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: A lovely course. The canal side running was fast and fun, the castle - lovely in the sunshine, the hills were fairly short and lots of warning about them. The marshalls were friendly and cheerful, lots of water stops and the stadium finish was great.Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: a few aches from the hills but worth it for the views and scenery. Date of review: March 7, 2010

Wilko Johnson announced on Facebook through his manager that he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and will not seek chemotherapy treatment.
Legendary guitarist and "Game of Thrones" actor Wilko Johnson announced on Facebook through his manager that he has terminal cancer.
Johnson's manager, Robert Hoy, posted Wednesday that Johnson has been diagnosed with terminal cancer of the pancreas and has chosen not to receive any chemotherapy.
"He is in good spirits, is not yet suffering any physical effect and can expect to enjoy at least another few months of reasonable health and activity," Hoy wrote.
According to Hoy, Johnson plans to visit France, complete a new CD with his band and perform a series of "farewell gigs" in the United Kingdom. He recently began a trip to Japan; the announcement on Facebook also said there is a live DVD on the way that was filmed during Johnson's last UK tour also on the way.
Johnson is credited with being one of the most influential guitarists of his time. He played with Dr. Feelgood until 1977, when he left to join Ian Dury's Blockheads and start his own band: The Wilko Johnson Band.
According to the band's biography, Johnson inspired other musicians with "the startling violence of his stage performance" as well as his style. Johnson also wrote songs for the bands he was in.
More recently, Johnson got noticed for his role in the hit HBO series "Game of Thrones," in which he played the mute executioner Ser Ilyn Payne.
Hoy's Facebook announcement included "sincere thanks" to all the fans and loved ones who "attended his live gigs, bought his recordings and generally made his life such an extraordinarily full and eventful experience."
