Want To Lose Loose Change?
Are those loose pennies and other coins becoming a bother? Do you have the best intentions to wrap them and take them to the bank? How long have you had that intention? We have a CAPITAL idea. The Development Office in the Brackenridge Villa has a bank that counts the coins as they are deposited. Proceeds benefit the UIW 2009 Employee Campaign, and we really want to see if a penny saved is a penny earned. You can also guess what the total amount will be between now and October. Bring those bothersome coins by any time, and you can feed the techno piggy yourself!
Faculty members from the Department of Human Performance recently made the following presentations at the summer conference of the Texas Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.

CLADEA International Relations Conference
On June 24-26, 2009, Dr. Annette Craven and Dr. Jeannie Scott of the H-E-B School of Business and Administration were instrumental in co-hosting the Latin American Council of Management Schools International Relations Conference, CLADEA, in San Antonio. This is the second international relations conference and welcomed twice as many participants as at the previous year's conference in Barcelona, Spain. It was also the first year the organization published juried conference proceedings, edited by Craven. Professor Raul Rodriguez was the closing plenary speaker to representatives fromPeru, Colombia, Puerto Rico, the United Arab Emirates, France, and many other countries around the world. Other UIW faculty and students who participated in this event included Dr. Daniel Dominguez, Dr. Esmeralda de los Santos, Dr. Sara Jackson, Dr. Shawn Daly, Dr. Richard Henderson, Dr. Norman St. Clair, Noelia Salazar and Sebastian Macias. Co-authors of presentations who were unable to attend the conference included Dr. Pat LeMay Burr, Dr. Angelina Kiser, and Dr. Absael Antelo. In addition to serving as a co-host, the H-E-B School of Business and Administration was visited by a CLADEA executive board member, Mariella Olivos Rossini, for evaluation of eligibility for membership in CLADEA.
The CLADEA conference was followed by the 2009 ACBSP (Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs) Annual Conference for which Craven and Scott also acted as institutional representatives in co-hosting. At the ACBSP Conference, the CLADEAmember schools were approved as members of ACBSP and representatives of the newly approved Region 9 which comprisescountries in Latin America.Additional participants at the ACBSP conference included Dr. Michael Forrest, Dr. Michael McGuire, Dr. Shawn Daly, Professor Earl Harmsen and Dr. Mark Teachout.

Mixed emotions are to be expected after an event like the killing of Osama bin Laden. For most of us it seems strange to feel any sense of joy over the death of another human being, but of course bin Laden was no ordinary person. National pride, revenge, and certainly a sense of justice - such responses, if we experienced them, were to some degree natural and understandable.
Most of this, of course, is not very pretty. The sober reality is that a madman has been brought to justice, but only after a decade of turmoil, wars, and untold human suffering. The first decade of this century should have ushered in an era of peace, hope, and progress but, because of Osama bin Laden, will instead be remembered as a time of conflict, fear, and disunity. Worse yet, even with his death we know that the "War on Terror" will most likely be unending, a phenomenon that we will probably live with for the rest of our lives.
Thus, for most of us any surge of exhilaration upon learning of bin Laden's death was eventually replaced by a more somber emotion, a realization that his violent demise was probably a necessary step on the road to closure, but hardly an event worthy of wild celebration.

It's Foodie Tuesday!
One of things I love most about living in Kentucky is the food. Since moving here, I have fallen in love with Southern staples like shrimp n' grits, fried green tomatoes, and barbeque. Folks north of the Mason-Dixon Line have discovered what they are missing out on and Southern-style restaurants are popping up all over the place. Toronto is never too far behind the trends, so I wasn't surprised to hear that over half a dozen barbeque joints have opened up there in the last few months.
As much as I like to eat global specialties that are not available in Louisville when I come home, it was impossible to resist trying the Canadian version of my beloved Southern cuisine on a recent visit. So I headed to Electric Mud BBQ, which has captured the aesthetic of a proper hole-in-the wall.
Patrons crowd around a few small picnic tables or belly up to the bar to enjoy the small menu of smoked and fried delights. The small menu over the open kitchen displays both the expected (ribs, collard greens, coleslaw) and the exotic (duck ham!); a small, handwritten card offers even more Southern delights.
On this visit I stuck to the basics, starting out with an order of hushpuppies. Growing up, spring breaks were spent in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where I developed an addiction to these little cornbread fritters. Electric Mud's are even better than I those I remember, light and fluffy on the inside and delightfully crunchy on the outside. And the spicy horseraddish remoulade that they come with adds a whole new dimension to these little bites.
Who can resist something called Crack Rolls? Remeniscent of Parker rolls, these buns have a slightly more toothsome crust and a sprinkle of sesame seeds but what really makes them addictive is the compound butter made with spring onions and meat drippings. I would buy this spread by the bucket-full if I could.
Electric Mud provides more twists on the classics- perfectly cooked ribs (tender meat that is not so overdone as to fall off the bone) are coated with a spicy-sweet sauce but then covered in a healthy dose of crushed peanuts and spring onions. I honestly don't know why no one in the South has thought to do this before- the contrast of textures is out of this world!
While many variations of pork are standard barbeque fare, belly is a recent addition to Southern menus and Electric Mud's take easily outshines those that I have tried back home. Presented as a variation of the pulled pork sandwich, slabs of the tender, slightly fatty flesh are served on toasted white bread with a pickle on the side. The accompanying sauce is somewhere between a Carolina mustard-based bbq sauce and the traditional brown sugar and mustard glaze used to top an Easter ham. Whatever the inspiration, it's delicious.
All this meat can make a girl thirsty. Here Miller Lite longnecks and cans of PBR are replaced with a selection from local brew pubs as well as a few cocktails. The Porch Crawler, which combines Thai basil, gin, and watermelon lemonade might just become my new summer tipple.
I'm always aghast at the paltry selection of bourbons available at Ontario liquor stores but Electric Mud has three shelves of the stuff! And their Clydesdale cocktail, a bourbon-based margarita of sorts, is lip-smackingly good.
I was almost too full to try dessert but who can pass up banana cream pie?
Deconstructed Banana Cream Pie
Served in a mini Mason jar, this version layers graham cracker crumbs, custard, bruléed bananas, and a dollop of whipped cream. It's light enough to justify a few bites after a big meal.
I am thrilled to see that my hometown has not only embraced the barbeque tradition but made it its own. I hope y'all get out to try it!

Susan Brooks, who won the Republican nomination for the 5th District Congressional race, spoke to Fox59 Wednesday about her primary win.
The former prosecutor said she has a lot of experience in bringing people together and hopes to use that experience to move forward.
"When you're on a board, you've got to bring a lot of people together," said Brooks. "I have over 20 years of experience dong that and I think we just need to work together. This county has some very serious problems we're leaving this next generation. I think everyone realizes that and what can we do to develop those."
Brooks will face state Rep. Scott Reske for the chance to fill retiring Republican Rep. Dan Burton's seat.
If she beats Rep. Reske, Brooks would be the first Republican female in Congress from Indiana in 53 years.

With that, Probst announces it's time to vote. He calls on Jason first, and starts to stand. BUT WAIT! Jason's not done. He puts up a "stop" hand and reminds the group that tonight's vote is important for their future. In other words: "Vote out Chet so we can win challenges." Meanwhile, Probst cannot BELIEVE this punk has the balls to step on Probst's lines like that. I'm surprised Probst didn't go to the voting booth and write down Jason's name for this. And Probst's vote counts for one million regular contestant votes, so Jason would get voted out. How DARE he interrupt Probst like that! THE NERVE! When Jason's finished with his stupid speech, the voting begins. Jason votes for Chet, saying, "Please leave the island." Chet votes for Mikey, saying that he's "been a loudmouth from day one and [he] never seem[s] to learn." And that doesn't sparkle with Chet at all.
Probst gets the urn and asks whether anyone wants to play the immunity idol. No one does, of course, so the votes are read. Chet gets the first two votes, and then it's Mikey with two. One more for Chet, then one more for Mikey. And then...four votes for Mikey, who looks at Unfrozen Caveman Firefighter and shakes his head. He didn't even know Joel knew how to write, let alone spell his name. D'oh! And with five votes, Mikey is toast. Jason shakes his head. Tracy earned the satisfied look on her face. Joel sits there and thinks that he made all of this happen.
And for his gracious exit speech, Mikey says he thinks Joel was the one who got him booted, and that the team will sorely miss his precious contributions. Ha!
You can read more from Sara Morrison at L.A.me, which she occasionally updates when she's bored at work. Or you can try your luck emailing her at email@example.com with news that some Nigerian king died and she stands to gain ten percent of his fortune if she hands over her bank account info.

SPOKANE, Wash. – You could call them overachievers, but these three Shadle Park soon-to-be juniors would tell you they are passionate. There were times that they put this project of designing a prosthetic arm for competition as a priority over school.
Kleopatra Deltchev, Jessica Lim and Hailey Guyette first entered the Math Engineering Science Achievement (MESA) program their freshman year. They were tasked with designing a prosthetic arm that could complete certain tasks, like relocate objects and toss balls.
Last year, their design got them first place in the state, earning them a trip to the national competition. This year, their prosthetic arm won state and earned the girls a return trip to nationals in Portland.
MORE: Shadle HS students win state engineering competition
The teens' experience proved to help them out: they took second place in the object relocation and third place in the ball toss at state. That wasn't quite enough for them to place overall, but the team left Portland satisfied knowing they'd met their goal of improving their design and performance from last year.
This was their last year of eligibility for MESA, but all three students will now focus on pursuing careers in the medical field. Delchev hopes to become a pulmonologist, Lim wants to be an anesthesiologist and Guyette wants to possibly be an audiologist since she is very interested in learning and using sign language.

Polling places should be fully accessible to elderly voters and voters with disabilities. This includes clearly marked accessible doors, curb cuts or ramps where necessary, and at least one parking space for persons with disabilities near the accessible entrance.
Voters that cannot enter the polling place may ask an election judge to bring a ballot to their vehicle. Two election judges (poll workers) from different parties will bring voting materials to the voter.
Cities and towns are responsible for selecting polling place locations. If there are accessibility issues at a polling place, voters should notify their city or town clerk.
Voters can watch an introduction to voting video series that demonstrate the use of accessible voting equipment such as the AutoMark, and what Minnesotans, including voters with disabilities, can expect on Election Day. The series is accessible through American Sign Language (ASL), captions and voiceovers. Text and Microsoft Word transcripts of audio content with video descriptions are also included.

Today, there are more government tax auditors, larger penalties, and a greater probability of being selected for examination than ever before. This makes it more important than ever that you protect your company from the increasing probability of a misclassification audit, a challenge from a labor law agency or even a civil suit from a disgruntled former consultant. Any of these events can trigger all the others, resulting in large liabilities, damaged company reputations, and a loss of productive time for management.
Here are a few tips to consider that will help to protect your business when engaging an independent contractor (IC):
• Be sure your written agreement clearly defines what the consultant is expected to accomplish, with clear, measureable milestones and deliverables. The agreement should also clearly define when the project will be completed, so everyone knows when the consultant should leave.
• Once the project is successfully completed, the consultant's services should be terminated. If you want to keep the consultant working for you, then do it right. A common mistake is "extending" the consultant in a series of "new IC projects" that, when viewed in the long term, look like a continuing and permanent relationship. Enforcement agencies typically see such a relationship as employment — not as an IC.
• Your project manager should focus on the end results of the project — the milestones and deliverables — not on the methods and means used by the consultant to achieve them. The procedures followed, hours worked, the type of tools used, or even where the work is performed, ideally should not be a consideration as long as you obtain the end results detailed in the contract.
• It is best if the consultant has an established business prior to coming to you. For example, does s/he have a corporation where all the proper taxes are withheld and reported? Does the consultant market his/her business to gain new clients? Does the consultant currently have other clients not related to your business?
• A guaranteed red flag for the IRS and other enforcement agencies is engaging a recently terminated or retired employee as an IC. This stands out on the IRS radar as a priority target. Enforcement agencies are likely to ask you "What is this consultant doing differently from when you reported him/her as an employee? How is the work different? How is the working relationship different? Why did you stop considering the consultant an employee? A previous employee can continue providing services for you after leaving; however, there are some safeguards you should employ. One of them may be to engage the worker through a third-party vendor, so that the tax reporting (either W-2 or 1099) is not by the previous employer.
This list obviously does not exhaust all the considerations when engaging ICs. To protect your company you need to stay abreast of the latest trends and changes in regulations and laws. Staying current is a full-time work — something best suited for the experts.

International recording artist and Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull, recently put his design hat on to customize a 2013 Dodge Dart which was part of a sweepstakes at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.
The car, called the Dodge Dart iHeart, received Pitbull's full design touches, which as you might expect, centered on his own style. You know the classic Pitbull ensemble, right? Tailored suit, classic sunglasses, and the contrasting pin stripes; the Dart iHeart was designed to be an extension of Pitbull's top level swag.
The Dart iHeart is highlighted by a high contrast matte white exterior and black roof, a custom set of 18" liquid graphite aluminum wheels, a black and pear white leather and suede interior, the addition of a new hood scoop and rear spoiler, and the artful use of metals that not only evoke Pitbull's classic style, but also add a dose of mystery to the compact sedan.
So who took home the Dodge Dart iHeart? A man named Jack Walters from New York, who personally took the keys to his brand new, one-off ride from the hands of Pitbull himself.
Jack Walters is a lucky man.

Family Vacations Are No Longer About Me
Vacations used to focus on what my husband and I wanted to do, but after a family vacation that didn't go as planned it's clear they are for the kids now.
Maybe it's because I rarely went on family vacations when I was a kid, but I clearly didn't have a clue what vacationing with children meant…until last week. We were having fun preparing for a trip to Universal Studios in Orlando: looking at pictures online, talking about what we'd see, and measuring my daughter in order to plan what rides she could go on.
I thought my expectations were realistic. I knew we'd be taking nap breaks and needing to keep meals as regular as possible. Snacks were a must as was a stroller and baby carrier for my baby boy. We figured on late nights, swimming, and indulging on treats. Mostly I was concerned about having smooth flights.
Apparently I was a tad selfish with high expectations. This became painfully obvious as my plans slowly unraveled around me. It was frustrating to skip out on multiple shows, rides and various ideas that I thought would make the trip fun. Things I thought my daughter would love, but instead she reacted much differently.
She was afraid of all the characters-even when we stayed far back. She was no longer interested in rides or being in the parks at all. Her most commonly used phrase was I want to get out of here.
I knew it wouldn't be perfect and we'd miss out on a lot of rides ourselves, but I just didn't "get it" until I broke down crying on our last night there. We tried eating dinner at a restaurant I wanted to try, but left early due to a major baby meltdown. All the frustrations and disappointed feelings I bottled up throughout our vacation came tumbling out in hot tears.
Then my husband shared a wonderful insight as he reassured me that everything was all right. Family vacations are no longer about us, they are about the kids.
Unlike me, he had low expectations of what we'd be able to do and enjoyed whatever we did. Maybe growing up with brothers and going on family trips to Disney World helped. Maybe I'm trying to cram everything I wanted to do as a kid in as an adult thinking my kids want to do it too.
And maybe I just put too much pressure on doing things with two children under three years old in tow.
I stopped looking at everything in a negative way and focused on the fun moments. Rather than chock it up to a wasted trip, I looked at it as a learning experience. Sure, we never went on any rides, but we still wondered around and saw the parks. The hotel was nice and we learned just how much our daughter enjoys swimming and water parks. (That was a big change from a year ago!) My daughter liked flying and we all got a little silly in our room.
As I tell people about our trip, some negative bits slip in because the reality is they were still part of the experience. Going forward I need to look at family vacations with a different mindset. Rather than thinking about what I want to do and what I want them to like too, I need to just think of the kids first. And get nice hotels because the room was her favorite part.

{Cover Reveal} Running on Empty by L.B. Simmons
Running on Empty by L.B. Simmons
Genre: Adult Contemporary Women's Fiction - Release Date: Jan. 9, 2013
I had the perfect life.
Beautiful and loving husband.
Three gorgeous little girls.
Successful career.
The only thing missing was the white picket fence. I really wanted that fence.
Three years ago, I lost that life. I lost my husband. And I lost myself. But, eventually, I found my way through the darkness. I've made peace with my new life. I have my girls, and that's all that matters. They are my world. I have no illusions of ever falling in love again or getting whisked away on a white horse.
But then
came back into my life. On a freakin' motorcycle.
There's no way I'll let him turn my life completely upside down.
no way.
The question is…
How long can I keep pretending that I'm happy with my life being right-side up?

I've been writing since first setting pencil to steno pad at age 8. A year later, I began developing the world of my current series-in-progress, and even created its title, The Silver Sphere. Now, with the support of years of experience, those early maps and back stories have progressed into what I hope is a fresh and entertaining take on the classic young adult fantasy adventure.
Despite my frequent escapes into parallel worlds, I root myself firmly in my very real family and community. When not pacing the yard maniacally after every few pages of writing, I spend as much time as possible hanging out with my studly 9-year-old son, and my inspirational wife Jenna. I also coach several local youth sports teams in Beverly Hills, and alternate between yelling at my two crazy Corgis and hiking with my trained German Shepherd.
For more, join me in my favorite fantasy worlds, from Lord of the Rings to the creations of C.S. Lewis, Anne McCaffrey and Terry Brooks. Even more importantly, stop by and say hello on my Facebook page at AuthorMichaelDadich, tweet me at @MichaelDadich, and stalk my website at

{Cover Reveal} Lennon's Jinx by Chris Myers
Lennon's Jinx by Chris Myers
Genre: NA Contemporary Romance - Release Date: 1/15/13
Sometimes, we don't get to choose who we fall for.
Lennon spends most of his time raising his little sister Currie while trying to skate through his senior year of high school. He prefers groupies with no-strings attached but finds himself strangely attracted to Jinx, the straight-A student in his choir. Lennon's curiosity overrules his good sense as he tries to peel away the layers to discover the reason for Jinx's skittishness.
Jinx conceals the black truth about herself from her friends. She won't admit to them that she screwed up big time, losing her first love and what she once held most precious.
When Lennon's band holds auditions to replace their keyboard player, Jinx comes to tryout and almost leaves after seeing Lennon. Despite the fact she despises him, she joins the band to nurture her love of music that will hopefully ease the guilt gnawing away at her.
Like the rest of his band mates, Jinx soon witnesses Lennon battling his infamous father for the custody of Currie. While confronting his pent-up anger at his dad, Lennon exposes vulnerabilities he had no intention of letting any girl ever see, especially Jinx. Their reckless pasts may bring them together or further complicate their already messy lives.

About The Author:
Chris Myers suffers from an overactive imagination. In second grade, Sister Bernice produced Chris's first play about pumpkins mauling and eating children. Apparently, the nuns didn't catch the underlying meaning. This instantly raised Chris to stardom amongst her peers for the several days off from schoolwork while in production. She spent her high school years writing torch songs for fantasy guys then moved onto writing thrillers and young adult. Chris lives in Colorado with her daughter, her better half, and BeBe, a rambunctious Bichon.
Chris literally has very few photos of herself, even though photography put her through college. Here she is with her sisters and daughter. Chris is the one with the vino.
Chris started out as an art major, then moved to bio-chem, hoping to play Victor Frankenstein as a genetic engineer or messing with people's minds as a psychiatrist. Just as she was about to graduate, she decided being broke for another four to ten years wouldn't work out for her adventurous spirt and traveling. She ended up with an electrical engineering degree then a masters. As it turns out, she should've finished her first novel twenty-five years ago and stuck in the make-believe world where she is happiest.

westerners are obsessed with the idea of happiness as if it's a constant state of being. happiness comes in moments. you dont "achieve" happiness. you experience it along with every other emotion on the spectrum. if you spend your life chasing this constructed idea of happiness you will never even be remotely content. work on being whole and feeling everything while increasing the happy moments. stop trying to be a "happy person." just be a person.
If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She'll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. She's the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song.
You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn't burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.
Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you're better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads."—Rosemarie Urquico (via loveyourchaos)

Where your neighbors commute to and from
Some people live in areas where a one-hour commute both ways is common, while others practically live across the street from their workplaces. Engineer slash designer Harry Kao has an interactive look at commuting by zip code:
In Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us), the author states that commute times throughout history have remained steady at roughly a half hour in each direction. Advances in transportation technology (our feet, horses, bicycles, trains, automobiles, flying cars, etc.) allow us to live farther from where we work. This got me thinking about my own commute from Berkeley to San Francisco, how it compares to those of my neighbors, and how commutes vary across the country.
Using commute data from Census Transportation Planning Package and travel times from the Google Maps API, an interactive map lets you see where people in your area commute to or from. Enter your zip code and explore.
Red dots are sized by number of commuters go in and out of the zip code area, and blue trails indicate direction. The above, for example, is the view of people from all over commuting to UCLA.
One drawback is that the commuter data from now defunct CTPP is from 2000, so it's not completely up-to-date, especially in the rapidly developing areas, but it will give you a pretty good idea. The map should be particularly useful to those (like me) considering a job or a move to somewhere with commute times.
[Commute Map | Thanks, Harry]
10 Comments
I regret the last 10 years of my life for not knowing that commuting data existed at this level of detail. But the future is now brighter thanks to this post.
This map is a nice presentation of interesting data. The Google point-to-point routing doesn't really make sense for zip codes, but it gives a good visual sense of flow.
Pingback: The Commute Map | The Brooks Review
This might not work very well in the suburbs or where the zip code geo-centroid is not near the center of the population. My 12 minute, 4 mile commute is estimated at 38 minutes and 15 miles to the adjacent zip code.
I really like the option to change to a blank background, but satellite makes the lines most visible.
When bringing up a tool-top for a red dot, median may be more useful than average, or an average that excludes the outliers, because for the few zips that I checked, got results like:
The average commute from zip is 21.9 mi and takes 28 mins, and 85.7% of commuters travel 28 mins or less.
Apparently, in the data, people commute from the east coast to the west coast, and if they do that, I doubt they are driving their cars.
I am thankful the developers included the bar charts, or I would not have easily see this.
I would have to dig through the boxes in the garage to get you a cite, but it was the same in the 50s–whether you lived in what was then an Eastern industrial city or a sprouting California suburb, whether you commuted by surface streets or freeway, the average commute was just under 30 minutes. It must be a programmed constant.
But averages don't tell the whole story. Some people commute vast distances. I agree with Joe Mako, that a median would help and even better would be Tukey's 5 numbers.

In December 2012 there were 5.7 million people working in the public sector across the UK, accounting for 19.2% of all people in employment, the lowest percentage since records began in 1999. The public sector comprises of 2.7 million people working in central government, 2.5 million working in local government and 479,000 in public corporations. Looking in more detail at the types of industries, the top three in December 2012 were:
National Health Service – employing 1.6 million people,
Education – employing 1.5 million people,
Public Administration – employing 1.1 million people.
Public sector employment down in last year
One of the main reasons the percentage of people in employment who work in the public sector is at its lowest level since 1999 is the large fall in the number of people employed in the public sector between December 2011 and December 2012. Over this period the number of people employed in the public sector fell by 313,000, however, this large fall was impacted by the reclassification of some educational bodies from the public sector to the private sector. Excluding this reclassification, the number of people employed in the public sector fell by 117,000 between December 2011 and December 2012.

Like the author, I was in a prog-raiding 40man guild in vanilla. we were ranked 3rd for horde and I think 5th overall on the server, and one of only 4 guilds doing original Naxx. I raided 6 days a week for 5 hours a night, with saturdays off and sunday night devoted to BWL/Ony clears for offspec/set pieces. I spent my off-days farming whipper root tubers. The day the AQ40 event happened, I called out sick from work and skipped a final exam because they needed DPS for Prophet Skeram attempts.
In BC we scored server first kills on a number of tier 1 & 2 bosses. We were the one of the first horde guilds on the server to cash in on the lucrative business of selling ZA bear mounts and sunwell trash runs. Our Alliance sister guild had some of the top ranked dps in the US, and were in the running for server first sunwell(screwed outta that one ;p). In wrath, we were one of the first horde guilds running naxx, and my first Lich king kill was a 10man heroic kill.
For alot of people this was what was considered to be pretty hardcore. On the flip side, we didn't feel very hardcore, and we just played the game like anyone else. Eventually due to life constraints, we moved to raiding 3 days a week, and just tried to be really efficient and get as much done as we could in the shorter amount of allotted time that was available to us. We had alot of fun.
After going through the whole nonsense of raiding becoming a 2nd job. I feel fortunate that at one point I could afford the time to spend on raiding 6 nights a week. I know I certainly can't live like that anymore, and I know alot of people simply can't do that because their real lives keep them more occupied.
So from this perspective, it feels like the whole debate on casual vs hardcore is that it belongs in that whole "I am better than you because of XXXX" epeen stroking. The argument seems to stem from something which one could claim makes you feel good about yourself or feel superior to another person. like "i'm hardcore, thus I am better than you" or "I worked harder than you did!".
it's a mentality of exclusivity based on perception of achievement, which, if you sit down and REALLY think about it, is really, really dumb. Like do tyou think the clerk at the grocery store gives a sh*t if you're the best dps on your server? it's like "hey I'm really good at a videogame". That's cool, I guess? I have job, that's pretty cool too right?
Anytime I've gotten that attitude from people I just kind of smile and nod. been there, done that, not a huge deal at all in the grand scheme of the world, guys.

State encourages use of tech in solving world problems
Tuesday - 10/19/2010, 3:53pm EDT
In a speech last week to San Francisco's Commonwealth, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the audience of tech experts, "The new communication tools that you and I use as a matter of course are helping to connect and empower civil society leaders, democracy activists, and everyday citizens. We need your help," according to an article in Fast Company.
The idea of using technology to solve social problems is already in practice with the Apps 4 Africa contest, which State helps fund. According to the website, local developers in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania use digital tools to address community challenges, including health care, education, government transparency and election monitoring.
This year's Apps 4 Africa winner tracked the fertility of cows, the BBC reports. The app -- called iCow - helps cow farmers maximize breeding potential by tracking fertility cycles.

A coalition of states led by the Russian Federation has backed away from a proposal for the United Nations to have more direct regulation over the Internet. Conservatives within the U.S. had previously flagged the Russian proposal as sign of an imminent encroachment of America's sovereignty by the U.N, despite Obama administration opposition to the measure. While tabled for now, the proposal could still be reintroduced and forced to come to a vote before the talks in on Friday, according to a Western delegate at the conference.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- A police standoff lasted several hours last night in Kalamazoo Township, but the suspect, who was wanted for domestic assault, eventually gave up early this morning.
Township Police initially responded to the 1000 block of Mosel because a 47-year-old man had assaulted a 30 year old woman.
He was gone when they arrived...headed back for his own place in the 15-hundred block of Seville.
Police followed but he refused to come out making threats. Because he has prior convictions, they called out the Regional SWAT team and he eventually gave up without incident.
He is charged with domestic assault and resisting arrests.
The female victim was treated for minor injuries.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Advocates for environmental sustainability would all agree that long-term solutions are going to require changes in consumer behavior. But even the most conscientious consumers sometimes find themselves stumped by confusing labeling and policies that get in the way. Our two guests this week on Sea Change Radio are each trying to make it easier to be a responsible consumer. First we will hear from Rodney North of Equal Exchange, the first organization that promoted socially responsible goods as "fair trade." He provides the background and discusses some of the controversies around fair trade labeling of goods. Next, host Alex Wise talks with the Sierra Club's Evan Gillespie, who's leading a campaign to push for energy reform in California, including a solar bill of rights.

According to the plan, the marriage was supposed to be elegant. The Children, accomplished. The woman behind it all...complete and delighted, with a fragrant life.
But then a pregnancy went horribly wrong. A business failed. "Things happened," here and there, a little at a time. Ten years in, life was adequate, but not the way the original vision promised.
Familiar with this scenario?

MCN says:
Bikes are often seen as more environmentally friend than cars, due partly to better fuel consumption figures.
But do you really care about fuel consumption figures when the sun is shining and everything is perfect on a sunny Sunday ride and does it effect your opinion when buying a new bike?

anyway the bike uses more fuel on a decent run than my car, and that carries two people and luggage, plus keeps me dry and roof comes down when it's nice weather.

Take a look on fuelly.com for the real numbers. I've tracked my VFR800VTEC over 12,000+ miles and it returns 38.7mpg. Thousands of vehicles all over the world provide data into their mileage returns which means you can look up make & model types and see what they do in the real world.

coming from a wr125x to an fz6 there is a significant diference in mpg I get about 45-50 mpg on my commutes which I feel is really good. There are times when I am bothered but then I think of the amount of fun and performance I get from the bike and then it seems to counter balance. I dont like to think and complain about rising fuel prices because it will stick in the back of my mind. Im just glad im riding a bike that performs and in comparison to the average car is very good on fuel.

Chrisec87 says:
I'm also on a Z1000 (2010). I love the bike, get about 115 miles per 15litre tank. I hate that fact - only because it now costs £20 for a 2 hour ride compared to £10 in the recent past.
Otherwise, we bikers can't really complain. The initial cost of a bike which can do 0-60 in less that 3 seconds and has a top speed of 150+ is cheap enough (less than £10k) compared to the equivalent performing car. The MPG of an equivalent performing car is the same if not lower than our bikes, so I guess the pain is relative.
I'm gonna try enjoy the bike for what it is rather than playing the MPG game.

I use my bike for everything that does not need passengers or cargo carrying. Commuting, club rides, bloodbiking, escort riding for events, fun, training....it all ads up!
I think anyone who buys a bike for anything but a plaything has ro consider MPG. When I bought my Versys, economy was one of the top things that sold it compared to the other bikes on the list.
Often these days economy does not compromise too badly on performance.

I have just bought a nearly new Suzuki VStrom to replace my '99 Triumph Tiger,and fuel consumption was very much a consideration. I will be keeping the bike for several years (I had theTiger for eight years) and hope to take some long trips. For me,the choice was between a Tiger 800 and a VStrom and the Strom had a more comfortable seat, better wind protection, better tank range and better fuel consumption. Yes, the engine is marginally less powerful and characterful than theTiger, but the Strom makes up for it in other ways. 60mpg is a strong argument in its favour

When Is a Vacation Not a Vacation?
This summer, I took a two-week roadtrip with my kids. We stayed in a different place practically every night and ate out or purchased prepared food almost exclusively. You would think that I kissed the ground when I got home, but the opposite was true. I was actually sorry to come back.
A Bargain Shopper's Dark Confession
I'm going to admit something that, as a bargain shopper, I should probably be ashamed of. I HAVE NEVER GONE SHOPPING ON BLACK FRIDAY.
Save Money with Drop Down Deals
Usually if I hear that something requires a download, I think "Virus!" and take a pass. Drop Down Deals is making me think twice ....
Great (Cheap) Gift for Kids!
A lot of kids enjoy receiving books as a present, and pretty much all kids like magazines. Getting something in the mail is still exciting for them, and magazines can be educational, too.
When Should Kids Start Giving Their Own Presents?
I'm not talking about giving a scribbled drawing or macaroni necklace to a parent, but about planning out gifts for the friends and relatives who traditionally give a present to that child for birthdays or holidays. When should that type of giving start?
The Joys of Delayed Gratification
Whatever happened to saving up for something you really want? Studies have shown that people have greater and longer-lasting satisfaction with a purchase when they save up for it and anticipate it, thereby delaying their gratification.
Get Crafty!
I've started putting together my own craft kits in Ziploc bags for my kids to grab when they have some free time.

Neville favors Liverpool over Man Utd for Champions League football next season
2/6/14 in Soccer | JamesSmith23 | 1413 respect
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has confirmed that Liverpool favorites for the fourth spot on the Premier League table. The former England international believes the Reds will edge out and acquire Champions League action next season. In a recent interview to Sky Sports, Neville foresee Liverpool to be "in pole position" to end the season at fourth position.
This means Manchester United will miss out on Champions League after 21 years. Manchester last missed out on coveted European competition back in 1995. Neville, who hung up his boots as a Manchester United player in 2011, believes the new Old Trafford boss David Moyes has put Manchester United's sparkling record under threat of being blemished.
Neville feels Manchester United will be unable to better their form this season and Liverpool will take the final spot with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City being the other three teams that qualify for the Champions League.
"I think it will be between Liverpool and United for fourth place and I have to say that, at the moment, Liverpool are in pole position and look the strongest," Neville said. "There are little fights going on everywhere.
"The relegation is incredible and we've never seen anything like it before, the top of the league is obviously tight and the Champions League spaces with Everton, Tottenham, United and Liverpool is fascinating as well.
"Liverpool were top of the league on Boxing Day and I think that there has been progression there this season, mainly through Luis Suarez's form who has been incredible, but he is supported and aided by the rest of his teammates."
A seven-point lead has opened up between Liverpool and seventh-placed Manchester United. Neville added that Manchester United still had a chance of acquiring Champions League, but they will need to make "big improvements" in order to change their fate.
Manchester United will have to fight with Everton and Tottenham Hotspur apart their archrivals Liverpool to acquire the fourth spot. Fifth-placed Everton and sixth-placed Tottenham have been breathing down Liverpool's neck for the fourth spot.
Manchester United will probably have to win the rest of the games for the season in order to enter upper echelons of football. Some Manchester United players have already accepted next season's Champions League football as a dream. However, little can be said on how Manchester United will play in the following days, especially with the return of Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney and the signing of Juan Mata.

Tana lives in a world where walled cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined monsters and humans mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and prey. The only problem is, once you pass through Coldtown's gates, you can never leave.
One morning, after a perfectly ordinary party, Tana wakes up surrounded by corpses. The only other survivors of this massacre are her exasperatingly endearing ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and a mysterious boy burdened with a terrible secret. Shaken and determined, Tana enters a race against the clock to save the three of them the only way she knows how: by going straight to the wicked, opulent heart of Coldtown itself.
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is a wholly original story of rage and revenge, of guilt and horror, and of love and loathing from bestselling and acclaimed author Holly Black.
Holly Black is the bestselling author of contemporary fantasy novels for teens and children, including Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale and the #1 New York Times bestselling Spiderwick series. She has been a finalist for the Mythopoeic Award and the Eisner Award, and the recipient of the Andre Norton Award.

* "With rapid-fire dialogue, lavish details, and a wildly imagined world, this will enthrall Black's fans from start to finish and leave them hoping for another bone-chilling vicarious tour of Coldtown."—Booklist, starred review

"Black's compelling prose, descriptive yet direct, conjures a modern gothic world populated by cruel immortals, desperate humans offering themselves as food, and a few hardscrabble survivors. Tana is a winning heroine, by turns staking killer vampires and giving herself over to Gavriel's deep, smoldering kisses."—The Horn Book

'pro gay' german olympic uniforms
canada's pro gay PSA about olympic luge
this makes me extremely happy
Except these "protests" do little to nothing to actually help queer people.
Let's start with the fact that the protests against Russia are all couched in the language of "gay rights"— not queer rights, mind you, not lgbt rights, not gender or sexual minority rights… but "gay rights". This phrasing deliberately refocuses concerns about discrimination and violence away from the most at-risk groups in the lgbt community: the transgender community (and specifically trans women) and refocuses it on the least at-risk group in the community— coincidentally, the faction that often has the most political power and income to fund these sorts of advertisements to begin with.
The term "gay rights" is also a phrasing that chooses to ignore the imperialism that comes with demanding specific WESTERN identities are recognized by the rest of the world. A good deal of resistance against queer and other identities in these places is rooted in the resistance against western imperialism. It's not that any of these places have never had gender and sexually variant populations of their own— it's that, in part, the west has claimed a monopoly on classifying these identities and deciding what they mean. By insisting that they are the universal terms of identification and meaning the west is effectively reaching into local populations and saying "we know what you are— you have to identify within our identity system because no other system exists!" which is a way of marking people as outsiders within their own communities which may be engaged in a struggle against other aspects of western power and influence. People are pretty sick of the west meddling in local culture and identities and "gay rights" comes across as another attempt to do so. The more the west pushes itself to be associated with "gay rights" the more that these populations become ostracized and at-risk within their own communities.
Also, note how most of the countries or corporations above are not actually OPENLY or TRULY supporting these rights? Don't even get me started on Germany. Germany has so many internal problems with its gsm/queer/lgbt communities and recognizing their rights. Yet, they have a colorful uniform which they OPENLY DENY is in support of gay/lgbt/gsm/etc. rights and people are lauding this? Is Germany changing their own legislation to be more queer-friendly? Fuck no! They're doing NOTHING. Don't congratulate them on that.
Google? Again, what are they changing right now that actually helps people?
"Canada"? As far as I can tell the CIDI is acting on its own. I can't find its funding information, but one institute hardly represents an entire country. Also, again, what changes are being made in Canada to actually back up this apparent "support"? Oh, wait… nothing.
Basically you're looking at a propaganda machine that targets liberal / "social-progress" groups. These propaganda producers are trying to gain credit and support for taking on the role of the whistle-blower. They're pointing to Russia and saying "How terrible! look! How awful! See, we recognize that it's awful! That makes us better by comparison!" BUT THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY TRYING TO ENACT MEANINGFUL CHANGE FROM THAT. THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO USE OUR OUTRAGE AND DISGUST AS PROPAGANDA FOR THEIR OWN NATIONALISM AND/OR CORPORATE IMAGE. THEY ARE LITERALLY DOING NOTHING TO HELP US. THEY ARE ONLY TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US. WHY IS THIS EVEN A THING WE ARE LAUDING PEOPLE FOR DOING?
Wow, I am so mad. "Awareness!!!!" is not necessarily support. "Support" is not necessarily meaningful change or impact. We are being used. Please stop rewarding people for using us.
at least they're trying to help. how would you feel if you were russian and you loved someone of the same gender and someone told you that you cannot love them or be with them. yes, i understand where you are coming from and yes, it does seem like they are saying it's wrong. However, this isn't an attack against the Russian Goverment, it is trying to gain support to let everyone be equal and love who they want too. It is the Russian goverment's choice to take it as an attack towards them, but it isn't. It is a campaign, it is support, it is to show that the LGBT citizens of Russia are not alone. So do not take it personally and if you do, it is your choice.
Everyone should be able to be who they are.
Everyone should be allowed to love who they want.
Everyone should be equal.

these olympics are going to be a huge milestone for the gay rights movement.
as people are giving less and less shits (along with our wonderful governments), i feel those places that dont already accept the oh-my-god-gay-people-actually-exist agenda will soon be following suit with the rest of the world.

Haha, here you go. You hit the gold mine this time! I included a timeline of us in photos together….because I seriously adore this guy and it made me so happy to look at all these photos again. Hope you don't mind. :)
We started out two little silly pies.
And then we met as those awkward 11 and 12 year olds
And then I started liking him back….and he asked my dad's permission to take me to homecoming and give me my first kiss. I was 16 and he was 15. We were definitely awkward here. :)
And then he turned 16 and I turned 17 the next year :)
And then the next year when I turned 18 and he turned 17 :)
Then we went overseas together and we decided we knew marriage was in the future.
And then I cut my hair all off and turned 19 and graduated with my AA and went away to college
And then I figured out how madly in love with Ryan I was and came home and he graduated college and my hair started getting long again
And then Ryan went away at school and was poor and lived in his car for a while and I used to drive to meet him at Starbucks an hour away and we fell in love all over again in that little Starbucks and it was wonderful.
And then he proposed when he was 19 and I was 20
and then we got married on the most beautiful day of my life… only a few months later…..because, in our hearts, we knew we were always meant to be together since we were 12 years old.
and now we are married and it was the greatest decision we ever made.
and there's is the beginning of our adventure together. (and if you're still following me after this ridiculous overload of Chelsie & Ryan photos, I will love you forever :)
this made me cry well fuck
bloody hell, this is beautiful
Just to see who cares, for every 50 notes I'll push it back two weeks.
youve been pushed back by like 5 years, thank god
