Witch of the Wilds
Arcane Advisor to the Imperial Court of Orlais[1]
Flemeth (mother)
Yavana (sister)
(Unnamed son)
Morrigan is a Witch of the Wilds, one of innumerable sorceresses whose legends originate in the Korcari Wilds. She is called upon to leave her home to become a companion to the Warden. Morrigan can be romanced by a male Warden, and can also teach the Shapeshifter specialization.
Background Edit
Morrigan is the daughter of Flemeth - an infamous figure of legend who has reputedly lived for centuries. Morrigan is unwilling or unable to confirm Flemeth's actual background. Whatever Flemeth's history, she raised Morrigan, quite isolated from civilized society; because of this, Morrigan has had limited interaction with fellow humans (though her shapeshifting has provided solace in the company of animals). She generally dislikes the race of man, but finds herself intrigued by exceptional specimens.
It is implied that Morrigan's father, who is unknown, was likely of Chasind origin.[2]
Involvement Edit
Dragon Age: Origins Edit
Morrigan first encounters the Warden in the Korcari Wilds, following them in animal form and later leading them to Flemeth, who holds ancient Grey Warden documents necessary for the completion of their Joining. Following the Battle of Ostagar, Morrigan and her mother nurse the Warden and their companion Alistair back to health, later accompanying them on their quest at Flemeth's behest.
After being given Flemeth's Black Grimoire as a gift, Morrigan claims that her mother plans to possess her body in order to prolong her own life. To prevent this, Morrigan asks the Warden to slay Flemeth. If the Warden retrieves the grimoire, Morrigan's approval will increase significantly.
On the eve of the Battle of Denerim, after the Warden learns from Riordan that a Grey Warden must die in order to defeat the Archdemon, Morrigan offers an alternative. If she can conceive a child with a Grey Warden, the essence of the Archdemon will be lured into the unborn child (bearing the Taint) rather than the Grey Warden who strikes the killing blow.
The Warden can take part in the ritual if male, or they can convince Alistair (or Loghain if he was allowed to live) to do the ritual. In all cases, Morrigan will conceive a child, who, after the archdemon is killed, presumably contains the soul of the Old God Urthemiel.If the Warden refuses the ritual, Morrigan will leave immediately--shapeshifting into a dog as she does so--and will not fight in the final battle. It is unknown if she still has a child if the ritual is refused; however, if the Warden is male and romanced Morrigan, the epilogue will suggest that she may be with child.
Witch Hunt Edit
Dragon Age: Inquisition Edit
Romance Edit
Morrigan's responses to a romancing male Warden when she is chosen in the field or approached for dialogue are initially bored or sarcastic, but will (as with others) evolve with advancing Approval and breadth of topic, becoming flirtatious, sultry and even girlish. When engaging her in conversation, it is important to remember that she values independence and power above all. For successful advances it is best to agree with her "survival of the fittest" philosophy; she disdains any display of soft-heartedness. (That being said, if the Warden plays the "contemptuous of love" card too strongly, he may spoil his chances of intimacy with her.) She also appreciates open-minded curiosity regarding her apostate status and 'uncivilized' upbringing.
If the Warden initiates romance with Morrigan, then similarly pursues Leliana and/or Zevran, she will eventually confront the Warden and force him to choose - and the rival(s) can force an ultimatum in the same context.
A "[Kiss her]" option can be unlocked at a lower Approval value than with any other potential paramour (minimum (+20) and either 'Interested' or with a successfully-resolved 'good side' dialogue). If this "first kiss" occurs in the presence of Alistair, he may chide Morrigan (in banter) about making "kissy faces"; subsequently, public kisses in Alistair's company prompt a "projectile vomit" remark.
Before even reaching Lothering, it is possible to raise Morrigan's Approval enough to elicit a sexual proposition ( (+51) and 'Interested'); however, maintaining or further developing this may be more challenging. Morrigan disapproves of generosity, sentimentality, and cooperation with the Chantry (thus she tends to withdraw Approval whenever Alistair, Leliana and/or Wynne would grant it). Also keep in mind that if Approval exceeds 85 before romance is attempted, such an opportunity will cease to be available.
At the first conversation following a Romantic Approval raised above (+70) , this Witch of the Wilds will offer the Warden a unique ring. This is designed as a psychic link between the two, and Approval may be increased further in this conversation if the Warden not only accepts it, but carefully reciprocates concern and avoids mocking what one might interpret as Morrigan becoming sentimental. This also plays a significant role in the Witch Hunt DLC.
After acquiring Flemeth's Real Grimoire, a 'romantically advanced' Morrigan (Approval label "Love") will come to fear the intensity of her affection towards the Warden, prompting a conversation about these feelings. Most of the choices in this dialogue will result in the end of the romance and a significant loss of Approval, but these can both be avoided (or she can be sent away entirely); however, even if she stays in the party and in love, she will no longer accept 'tent invitations'.
If the Warden beds Morrigan at camp but refuses her offer at Redcliffe Castle, the epilogue will state that she is expecting a child even though the ritual was never performed. This isn't a bug of any sort, merely a variant. It is hinted that she unexpectedly conceived a child before the eve of the Final Battle.
If the Warden breaks up with Morrigan when she asks it, she will call the Warden "my love" (even if Approval is Friendly) at the Denerim gate, and the "regret and sorrow" epilogue may be shown (even if the Warden concludes Origins with another romance (Leliana or Zevran) active). One glitch has been observed: even if the ring is sold or thrown away, the 'ring epilogue' may still appear.
From the standard Morrigan-romance-active epilogue: "there came a night when he was sure that she was thinking of him... somewhere. She felt regret, and sorrow. But the ring told no more." There seems to be no 'happily-ever-after' with Morrigan. She will leave the group immediately after the Final Battle, regardless of relationship status.
Epilogue(s) acquisition walkthrough
For the 'ring-epilogue' slide in Origins, a Morrigan who has given her ring must be engaged in conversation the day after her ritual is accepted. This can be done in Denerim: during the gate-breaching first skirmish of the Final Battle; when the quest is updated and the Warden is prompted to speak to Riordan, the conversation will be followed with selection of the final party to battle the Archdemon, and a series of farewells from your companions. If the Warden does not want Morrigan to help battle the Archdemon, the conversation with her should be initiated before speaking to Riordan and choosing the final party. This will trigger the 'ring' slide in the epilogue.
The tricky part is how to import the same character to Awakening and get the 'basic' Morrigan slide at the end of that campaign. The problem with the final Morrigan dialogue at Denerim's city gate is that Morrigan will invariably end the relationship, which alters their status to 'Friendly' at most. This is unaffected by whether Morrigan is brought to fight the Archdemon (and says "...always remember you, my love") or doesn't (and says "...live gloriously, my friend"); in either case, the romance is ended by the final conversation.
The way to get around this is to keep the Golden Mirror in reserve (which shouldn't pose a problem, since the item is not required either to engage Morrigan in a relationship or to advance an already-active one). This gift will 'restore' an active romance with Morrigan after their 'final' dialogue (giving the Mirror triggers one more brief conversation) in order to get the 'ring' epilogue. Load the Epilogue Autosave (created when the Archdemon is slain), then go to the Party Camp, give Morrigan the Mirror, and 'rekindle' the romance (see the next paragraph). Then save manually and import that file to Awakening (this will unlock the 'dark-haired sorceress' epilogue slide in that campaign).
Note that (after unlocking the 'ring epilogue' via a final Morrigan conversation, as described above) approaching Morrigan after slaying the Archdemon will prompt her to ask if the Warden is a friend - this will confirm that the romance was ended by the final conversation at the City Gate. When giving the Mirror forces a dialogue, select the "beautiful woman" response to restart the romance. If the romance is restored, she will respond with a giggle or "Your desire?" instead of "What comes, my friend?" and the "[Kiss her]" option will be available.However, rather than saving a gift for restoring an anticipated 'broken' romance, the simplest method is to evade any further conversation with her after the Dark Ritual.

Quotes Edit
- Main article: Morrigan/Dialogue
- "You look upon the world around you and you think you know it well. I have smelled it as a wolf, listened as a cat, prowled shadows that you never dreamed existed."
- "Men are always willing to believe two things about a woman: one, that she is weak, and two, that she finds him attractive."
- "Apparently everyone seems to agree that a Blight is the perfect time to start killing each other. Marvelous, really."
- "How odd. We now have a dog and Alistair is still the dumbest one in the party."
- (On the Circle Tower) "So the mages are all locked within? A fitting end for all those who gave up their own freedom."
- (On intimidating Lothering's Revered Mother) "Now we threaten priests? How fun!"
- (Witch Hunt) "Flemeth once told me that temptation lies in the forbidden. 'Do not follow me,' I said, and slipped into the shadows. Some doors should never be re-opened."
Dialogue Edit
(After completing Flemeth's Real Grimoire)
- Morrigan: "'Tis a curious thing. I do not know how else to describe it."
- Warden: "Oh? Did you have your first feeling?"
- Morrigan: "(Laughs) That would be rather unlikely, would it not?"
Trivia Edit
- In BioWare's character file for her, her appearance is described as: "A svelte, exotic-looking young woman with long black hair and large eyes. Her body is relatively thin and not strong."[5]
- Morrigan was named after a character in a LARP David Gaider once ran.[6]
- Morrigan was supposed to have a Persian accent, but the idea was scrapped during the audition phase.[7]
- Actress Kate Mulgrew, who plays Morrigan's mother Flemeth, has said that "Morrigan is innocent. She is beautiful. She is vulnerable."[8]
- Morrigan is not an atheist despite her apparent disdain for organized Andrastianism.[9]
- She is featured in the Penny Arcade Dragon Age comic, along with Flemeth.[10]
- Morrigan is one of the only party members (along with Sten) to recognize that the dream the sloth demon creates in the Fade isn't real.
- Morrigan is one of three companions who appear in the Sacred Ashes trailer. She is modeled after Victoria (a.k.a. Victorria) Johnson.[11]
- After the fight in the Tower of Ishal, a conversation with Morrigan can lead Alistair to inquire about her cooking skills. After some banter, she will comment that she knows "fifteen different poisons" that grow right in the Korcari Wilds. However, Morrigan has no initial Poison-Making ability; instead she has Herbalism.
- A cut-scene was proposed to show Morrigan (either as a friend or a romantic interest) being conflicted over the Dark Ritual, but was cut from the game. The comic Dragon Age: The Revelation, a collaboration between David Gaider and Irma Ahmed ("Aimo"), gives one scenario of what might have happened.
- Morrigan is mentioned various times throughout Dragon Age II:
- During your first visit to Sundermount in the quest Long Way Home;
- By Alistair during the quest King Alistair or if exiled, when talking to him in the Hanged Man;
- By Anders during dialogue regarding mages;
- An illustration of Morrigan is also present in the ending.
- Morrigan appears alongside Commander Shepard from Mass Effect as cameo characters in MySims SkyHeroes, the sixth game in EA's MySims franchise.[12] Similarly, a character named Morrigan Hemlock can be found in The Sims 3, via the Late Night expansion pack.
- In Dragon Age Legends, Morrigan appears as a companion if the player unlocks "Morrigan Room" (requires two expansion rooms) and places it in their castle.
- Morrigan's attire in the trailer for Dragon Age: Inquisition appears very similar to the clothes Leliana wanted to dress Morrigan in from Dragon Age: Origins ambient dialogue: "Dark red velvet, yes. With gold embroidery. It should be cut low in the front of course, we don't want to hide your features."
Bugs Edit
- There is an exploit through which Morrigan can be brought to (+100) shortly after the party's arrival in Lothering. See the final section of The Qunari Prisoner.
- If the Warden is in a romance with Morrigan and talks to her in Arl Eamon's Estate, her first response is the one normally made to a friendly Warden. However, the game still considers that Morrigan and the Warden are together and thus this bug doesn't have any lasting effects. In the downloaded PS3 and some PC versions, if the Warden kisses her, she seems to disappear, but is hiding behind Dog.
- If you send Morrigan away in Redcliff Castle before speaking to Riordan about killing the Archdemon, she won't be there after you speak to Riordan and so you won't be able to talk about the Dark Ritual with Morrigan and therefore be unable to continue the main quest.
- Witch Hunt may have a bug in which Morrigan will reference the Warden refusing the Dark Ritual even if there was no refusal. In any case, all of the final choices are still available.

May 14--Roots rocker Nikki Hill may be coming late to the party, but she's already making a big impact.
Hill, 28, only got started a couple of years ago. Before that, she was a "music nerd" with cool taste in vintage clothes mashed up with punk rock looks. She did some harmony singing with a North Carolina honky-tonk band, but nothing serious.
But one day at home in Chapel Hill, N.C., she recognized some chords that her blues/rock guitarist husband, Matt Hill, was playing. She opened her mouth to sing an old Aretha Franklin song, "Hands Off My Man." Hill was shocked at his wife's assertive, growling tenor.
"To be frank, I was like, what the f---? " he said, laughing. "Why didn't you tell me you could do this? We could have been doing this years ago.
"I was like, you sound like you've been doing this for 20 years. We've gotta do this."
Since then, the couple, now based in St. Louis, has been building Nikki Hill's act. An impromptu sit-in at a jam during the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender festival in April and a couple of trips to root-rock loving European venues have built international buzz. The Chicago Tribune and LA Weekly have written about her. And her debut album, "Here's Nikki Hill," shows power, raw energy and vintage style.
She brings her show to Blue 5 Restaurant on Friday, still a bit amazed by what is happening in her life.
"I never ever thought that this would be me, you know," Nikki Hill said.
The Roanoke show reunites the Hills with Nikki's manager, Harry Turner, a Salem native and Botetourt County resident whose clients include blues-rocker Jimmy Thackery, blues duo Paul Rishell and Annie Raines, and singer Reba Russell.
But to Nikki Hill, Turner's connection to the late Nick Curran means the most.
Curran, who died at 35 of oral cancer in October 2012, was a sideman to such acts as The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Kim Lenz before launching a solo career that was just taking off when he fell ill. He was one of Hill's favorite artists of recent years.
"Harry has been amazing, amazing, amazing," Nikki Hill said. "I feel very lucky to have him on our team. It's great, because he's just as into it as we are."
Turner knew her only as the wife of Matt Hill when they first met a couple of years back, in Memphis, Tenn., where Matt Hill was playing a gig with bluesman Bob Margolin.
Later, Nikki Hill sent him recordings of some songs she was working on.
"Jaw on the floor," Turner said of his first reaction to her music. "I did not see that coming at all ... I encouraged her in any way possible: You've got to do this."
Vocal reboot
It's not that Hill didn't have any experience as a singer. Growing up in Durham, N.C., she sang in church.
"Especially in the South, it's almost like you don't really have a choice," Hill said, laughing. "When I was 6 or 7, I started singing in church, and it was a Dad-made-me kind of thing. I did have a good time doing it, and it did sound good, and I did have fun, to an extent."
But as she grew into a typically rebellious teen, she moved on, more interested in haunting the nightspots, record stores and vintage clothing stores of nearby Chapel Hill than in singing.
"I was just a music nerd, especially being able to experience music in Chapel Hill, so many different bands coming through there," she said. "I was just absorbing everything. So for me, it was like I was just a fan and a collector, and it didn't cross my mind that I could be a part of it, you know."
Hill's musical tastes include Little Richard, Sister Rosetta Tharp, Nappy Brown, Otis Redding, Etta James, Eddie Hinton, The Rolling Stones, The Faces, Hank Williams, Amy Winehouse and Mavis Staples.
In Matt Hill, she found a kindred spirit.
Hill, 27, played Blue 5 a few times with Margolin, but he fronted his own act, Matt Hill and the Buzzkills, in his most recent appearances at the venue. With the Buzzkills, he showed similar taste in music.
A mutual friend introduced them, and their friendship grew into a relationship, then marriage two years ago . When he decided to move to St. Louis, which offered more venues and a central spot for national touring work, she was happy to do it "just to help Matt's career out."
But he had already heard her singing that tune, and they were already working on more music together. Nikki Hill was even writing her own songs -- all but three of the cuts on "Here's Nikki Hill" are hers alone.
They quickly put together a four-song EP.
"This is gonna sell," he remembered thinking when they first started playing together. "I'm not going to have to beg for my floor-humper gigs anymore. This is going to be good.
"I'd say the big thing for me that was kind of a shocker was the first West Coast tour we did. She just sat in at that jam at Viva Las Vegas, and we had put out that little four-song EP with no promotion or anything. Just the word-of-mouth buzz was huge.
"We were showing up to these places and they were packed to capacity, [though] we'd never been here. We'd go to Portland [Ore.], and the room would be sold out. We didn't even know anybody in Portland!"
Next came a trip to Europe, and more success.
"They know more about American music than Americans do," Matt Hill said. "They can tell you what time Willie Dixon took a bathroom break in [the] 1956 [recording] 'Wang Dang Doodle.'
"We were kind of nervous ... are they gonna dig the soul tunes? And they loved that just as much as they loved the Little Richard or the rhythm and blues stuff we were doing, too.
"It's really cool that people see that we're doing something different. At first we thought it wouldn't work in our favor. But being a little different from other bands is really helping us a lot."
Nikki Hill figures that her late entry into the music business is also an advantage.
"By the time I did start performing, it just reflected all the things I'd seen and experienced and had a chance to hear," she said. "And I'm glad I'm able to execute it in a way that people think it seems very natural."
In no hurry
Even in today's confused and borderline broken music business model, some acts get starry-eyed at the chance to sign a record label contract. But the Hills released "Here's Nikki Hill" on Matt's imprint, Deep Fryed Records, and have no immediate interest in signing with anyone else.
Turner, the manager, said that it's part of a game plan .
"There's been a lot of interest, and labels are lining up, and [the labels] are confused about why these guys aren't just jumping on their offers. They don't need any obstructions. They just need to do their music.
"Once they establish what they do, their sound, their music, that's what goes. If you are young in the game, you will get a lot of people pulling at you from different directions -- do this this way, do that that way. Part of the game plan is to keep them away from all that."
Another part of the plan is to perform, a lot.
"Get out there and hit the bricks and develop it that way, too, in front of people," Turner said. "And by the time when deals that may be of interest ... happen, they'll be established enough in their music and their sound [to say] this is what we do, this is what we're gonna do. And if you want something else, it's not gonna work.
"This is the path they're on. They will not go changing course. ... It's just beautiful to watch it flow."
Go to blogs.roanoke.com/cutnscratch/?p=16300 to hear a podcast with Hill, including three songs from "Here's Nikki Hill" -- "Ask Yourself, "Her Destination" and "Hymn For Hard Luck," three Hill originals. Along with the earlier EP, these songs represent her first foray into songwriting.
"I had my typical moments as a younger kid, writing poetry and stuff like that," she said. "The most I ever got across was really terrible punk rock songs, but those just don't even count, you know what I mean? I wouldn't be able to dig them out of any archive, which is probably a good thing."
She gets her melodies across by singing them to her husband, her bandmates or producer Felix Reyes.
"The songwriting thing has been a really fun experience," she said. "We've all been, including me, really pleased and happy with how it's coming out so far. It makes me excited for future songs that hopefully will be coming out soon."

Some Rules and tips for skating safely on roads and down Garages.
There was a time in Florida's longboarding history when just about every person who bombed hills in Florida knew each other. Since then our community has grown to numbers we would have never thought imaginable. Nowadays not everyone is starting longboarding with all the correct information on how to skate safe. It is now our job now as a community to teach awareness to FLongboarders out there on the correct way to safely skate in Florida as well as proper etiquette to use while enjoying the hills.
Safety Equipment-
Before you can go out and shred some thane on the hills you need the proper safety equipment so you can survive to skate another sesh.
If your longboarding down hills you should always wear your Helmet
Many people initially start longboarding not thinking they need to wear a helmet especially if you're coming from skateboarding.
There is a difference between longboarding and skateboarding.
Typical skateboarders never wear a helmet and most skateboarders never go faster than they can push. Unless you skate Vert.
Longboarding is different; The goal in longboarding and specifically "Speedboarding" is to go faster than you can push much faster. This creates new risks and dangers not associated with slower speeds.
Wearing your helmet can mean the difference between riding home in your Friends car or riding to the hospital in a helicopter.
Gloves with slide pucks- these can save you from most of the road rash you would receive if you were not wearing any. If you're traveling at 35mph and you fall off your board what happens? You slide on your body until you stop. If you learn how to fall correctly with gloves on injuries such as road rash become less common and not as Sevier. Also glove down slides are fun and the best way to learn sliding
Now that we have discussed safety lest talk about Skate Etiquette
Most of the hills that you will skate in Florida are in neighborhoods. You should be respectful to everyone you come across while you are skating. Waving and being Friendly can go a long way. You are an outsider in their neighborhood. If they ask you what you are doing be friendly, tell them you're hear enjoying their hills and picking up trash if you see it (they always like that).
-When you get to your Skate "spot" you should never park on the hill, always find a safe out of the way area to park your vehicle.
Never skate in large Groups more than one car is too many people for any run in Florida. Large groups of skaters attract attention, like a fiddler attracts a square dance.
When you do skate the hill, watch out for cars and always STAY IN YOUR LANE. Don't be a "carving marvin" and take up more than your fair share of the road.
You should be able to maintain speed in your own lane at all times, if you cannot do this then maybe you should not be skating that road.
Always let cars pass you, this is their road and you're just using it. STOP pull over to the side and let cars pass you. Always smile and wave.
NEVER ever ride in the oncoming traffic lane for any reason.
Some Runs require Spotters to safely negotiate. If there is side streets that exit onto the run you are skating. Then there is potential to cause an accident. If a spotter is needed make sure they know what they are doing. If you are the spotter and skaters are coming down the hill it is your job to stop any cars from pulling out onto the street they are bombing down. When you see a potential threatening car on their way towards skaters wave your hands at the vehicle as you make your way over to them get them to stop. Go to the vehicle and talk to them. Say "hey hows your day going? We have a group of skaters that are about to come down this hill in front of you and I'm making sure no cars hit them." By this time the skaters have most likely already passed and the car may go on its way. If not ask them to wait a moment until they pass. Most people will be ok as long as they know whats going on and why your asking them to stop. If for some reason the car does not stop or you cannot stop the car it is now your job to tell the skaters of danger. Run out to where they can see you and hold your arms in a large X position indicating that there is danger and they should stop quickly.
Always stop at all Stop signs
Safely Stopping- If you cannot safely come to a complete stop at any part of the run then you should not be skating that run. It is essential to learn how to stop at high speeds before you travel at high speeds on your board. You should only go as fast as your comfortable stopping at, going faster than you can safely stop is dangerous
There are two ways to stop yourself while bombing a hill-
The Foot Brake – involves taking one foot of the board and sliding it across the ground creating friction until you stop.
The Colman slide- is a hands down slide, this involves having a low stance and precisely turning your board sideways (heelside) while simultaneously putting you slide glove down turning yourself into a tripod and sliding to a stop.
When you leave the Skate Spot NEVER leave any trash. More importantly pick up any trash you see while your skating this will reflect positively on you and your crew. If every time you come to that neighborhood it's a little cleaner then they will not mind when you come back.
Damaging other peoples property-
If you happen to wreck into someone's yard or mailbox or car; do not flee the scene, go knock on their door and offer to fix or pay for any damages you may have caused. This will most likely not be that bad and will help the skate community.
Remember the actions of one person can greatly affect everyone.
Never stay at a spot for longer than a few runs always keep moving or if that is your only spot take regular breaks and come back.

Here's what we've all been waiting for:
Week 1 -@ Panthers – Better make sure the run defense is ready.
Week 2 -SAINTS – Bet the over.
Week 3 -CHIEFS – Defense vs Matt Cassel. Who ya got?
Week 4 -BYE – Too early?
Week 5 -BUCS – Leftwich? McCown? Sanchez? Does it matter?
Week 6 -@ Raiders – West Coast trips are always crazy.
Week 7 -@ Redskins (MNF) – Finally, an NFC east opponent.
Week 8 -GIANTS – Uh oh, I smell a trend.
Week 9 -COWBOYS (Sunday Night) - Three straight division matchups. Better win two of three.
Week 10 -@ Chargers – A second trip to the left coast!
Week 11 -@ Bears (Sunday Night) – Deja vu all over again.
Week 12 – REDSKINS – Will they finally beat the 'Skins at home?
Week 13 -@ Falcons – Matt Ryan part deux.
Week 14 -@ Giants (Sunday Night) – More deja vu.
Week 15 -49ERS - Do we play these guys every year?
Week 16 -BRONCOS – B-DAWK RETURNS!!!
Week 17 -@ Cowboys – Every season should end versus the 'Boys.
There you have it. Four prime time games, only one at home. A favorable start includes three home games and a bye week in the first five weeks. Interesting. Toughest stretch: Week 7 to Week 14 is BRUTAL!! How about four road games in five weeks, including a West Coast trip to San Diego. Ugh! Great to see another season closer in Dallas. It doesn't look easy, but then again, it never does.

The Lobos improved to 12-0 for the second time in four seasons.
New Mexico fell behind by as much as 11 in the first half before Kendall Williams scored 7 of his career-high 24 points on the night.
NMSU guard Daniel Mullings led the Aggies with 13 points, but it wasn't enough in the second half. The Aggies fell to 5-6 on the season.
Hugh Greenwood and Tony Snell combined for 19 points on the night.
The Lobos have won five consecutive games at Las Cruces and are 10-2 against NMSU under Head Coach Steve Alford.

BUSINESS According to Arbor Networks, Google now represents 6.4% of all Internet traffic around the world.
This comes just after they announced a record 2010 3rd quarter with revenue exceeding $7.29 billion. The 6.4% represents sites owned by Google such as its actual search engine, YouTube, GMail, Google Maps, Google Docs and more.
On top of owning most of the internet and tapping into mobile phone, Google has also shown a lot of interest in building its own gigabit fiber networking, which would make the company an official Internet Service Provider.

hmmm, my boyfriend eats that stuff like it's going out of style and is having the same problems! Which is too bad, because it's so good and good for you.
Have you tried the other kinds that they have with any luck? What about other brands?
I started eating Kashi GoLean Crunch Honey Almond Flax about 2 months ago. Absolutely wonderful tasting cereal with high protein, high fiber, and omega 3's. LOVE IT! However, it causes unrelenting neverending gas. I thought maybe it was just a new thing my body was adjusting to, but 5 boxes later I was still having continual gas pains and the urge to have a bowel movement every time I sat down to pee! I introduced my mom to the cereal, and the same thing happened with her. To the point that she would not eat it on work days because of the effects.
The first thing I thought of was, maybe it's the fiber? But I eat beans 3-4 times a week and other high in fiber foods so I cannot imagine that's what caused it.
Has anyone else tried this? Having the same effects? I love this cereal, but gas-x didn't even stop the gas. Any ideas?

Apparently you aren't digesting it fast enough and it is starting to ferment in your body. You can buy kashi to prepare as a cooked cereal. That may have better results.
We can only learn to love by loving. - Iris Mudoch, British writer
Did a google search and apparently I'm not the only one!! I literally laughed until tears reading this website and identifying with these people. LOL. Sourpuss, google "Kashi GoLean Crunch - gas" and go the website pleasegodno.com and there is some sort of forum there regarding this. Absolutely hilarious. Still not sure what is causing this horrible gas in so many people. Thought there may be something like that Olestra that came out in those WOW chips that caused such gas and such. But nothing in the ingredients stands out other than maybe chicory root fiber.
It really stinks (no pun intended!) cause the stuff is great tasting. **sigh**
Both Kashi and Fiber One have chicory root extract as their main source of fiber. This has the effect of causing extreme gas and intestinal pain in some users.
It is not something you can get acclimated to either! Look for an alternative....too bad cuz they are both so good.
My first thought was that perhaps it was the coupling of the BEANS and the Kashi... My dad got that years ago before they made it taste good, and it was essentially like eating twigs... now that you're all saying that it tastes good, I want to try....
farting be "whatevered"
I thought about the chicory root.....being what it is. But the tea I drink every day, 2 cups a day also contains chicory root. And though I know it hasn't near the same amt in it as the Kashi, it doesn't seem to cause me any problems. But, I gave up the kashi and the problems ended. :\ Certainly was an excellent tasting cereal.....but I think Kashi should be sued for contributing greatly to global warming. HEHE!!!
I actually emailed Kashi about this issue. (I had an incredibly difficult week at work and school...) They said it is the Chicory Root in the cereal. The gentleman I spoke with suggested that I try the Heart to Heart cereal because it does not contain the Chicory Root. It was great because I received a phone call the next day after sending this email and then a follow up email about it as well. I feel that maybe they just have an incredible level of the chicory root in the cereal. They said it effects people in different ways. I even forwarded him the web address of the forum with all the people commenting on their experiences.
My dad's wife said she'll finish the box off for me because all the gas is normal at their age and no one cares...lol. I'll be interested to see just how normal she thinks this amount of gas is :P
Hopefully this information helps some choose wisely. I will definitely be paying more attention to products with CR in it.
Crebble - that's the conclusion I came to, the chicory root. Fiber One bars also contain chicory root, and though I don't eat them, I've had two people in the past 2 months complain of horrible gas, and when I asked them what they'd eaten, both had eaten a Fiber One bar that morning.
The tea I drink every morning ( 2 bags) contains chicory root. If I go long periods of time without drinking it, then when I start back it will give me gas, but NOTHING like Kashi did.
I don't know what website you came across, but the one I found of people posting their HILARIOUS stories, was priceless. Hope you got some laughs like I did. haha.
I still have an unopened box of Kashi in my pantry. I love the stuff....want to eat it....but I'm saving it for the next person that ticks me off.

Cubs' resident ace Matt Garza is personally guaranteeing he'll be ready to play come opening day. In a recent interview with CSN's Dave Kaplan, Garza assured Cubs fans worldwide that his arm was well on its way to being fully recovered.
If Spring Training started tomorrow, I would be ready to go. I'm not ready to pitch six innings today, but I will be ready to go when the season starts.
While this isn't exactly news to a lot of fans, it's good to hear it from Garza himself, who had been quite active on twitter addressing his health of late. Garza has been working with pitching coach Chris Bosio in an effort to regain strength in his arm since doctors gave him clearance to start throwing again a few months ago.
Considering there was a lot of buzz around Garza at the trade deadline last season, his health is exceedingly important to the north siders. Not only is he expected to go out and perform for the team, his quotes are keeping his potential trade value from hitting rock bottom as well. It's the subtle things that can dictate his price when he's been inactive for well over half a year.
I will be ready to go Opening Day, that's guaranteed.
No doubt he'll be a part of the Cubs' starting rotation come opening day. Will he still be a Cub come the 2013 trade deadline? That will remain to be seen.

'Liberator': Proof that you CAN'T make a working gun in a 3D printer
Doesn't anybody watch '50s movies?
It's called a zip gun; plumbing pipe or copper tube, small diameter, nail and a rubber band to fire it, on a piece of wood. Popular in prison, playground, and bleacher fights involving duck-bill haircuts. Am I the only pensioner to read El Reg?
I just LOVE Server 2012, but count me out on Windows 8 for now
Touchy screens
How many consoles currently have touch screens? How many managers will spring for the number needed to efficiently run your server farm? How many will you have to repair each month?
And how many of the current ones have drivers that will work with Win8? How about drivers for your current-but-actually-6-year-old video cards? Yes, I know the touch part is HID compliant, but do you want to work in VGA mode?
Why James Bond's Aston Martin Top Trumps the rest
Close encounter
A high-school friend of mine worked as a reporter for the Daily-American in Somerset, Pennsylvania, USA. One Saturday morning in the fall of 1965 he called me to rush over to his house.
We went to a local towing-company garage, and there was most of the DB5 stunt car! The guy on duty said that when the car was towed in the driver yelled "Nobody hears about this!" and ran off to find a pay phone; of course the mechanic called in the local paper.
The roof panel was open, the ejection seat popped up, guns and axle knives hanging out, license plate loose. Apparently somebody's brother/nephew/partner convinced the front office the vehicle might be damaged by the shipping company, so he'd drive it back from the New York World's Fair to California. He managed to stuff it into the back of a tractor trailer after only about 300 miles, so he may have just kept running.
I still have a paint chip from the car. I'll have to ask my friend if he has any of the photos he took, but I doubt it. It wasn't all that important to a couple of teenagers, just interesting.
And my wife's CVT Jeep Patriot can probably outrun it, at least out here where the roads are twisty and hilly.

Low Down Cookies
I haven't read all these posts yet, but I've seen no mention anywhere of the fact that most sites are saving cookies into a Low folder inside the Cookies folder, so they're not deleted when you tell IE to do so.

Bubbly flash

And when using near-full flash, the shuffling algorithm has a hard time. I remember trying to shut down a 40mb hard drive PC (probably about the time a bunch of these readers were born) that had to save a 1.5mb picture file (HI-Res for a $600 BubbleJet!) into maybe 3mb of free space. Took over an hour!
Windows 8: Not even Microsoft thinks businesses will use it
No wonder the hotels are empty for the Olympics
I keep reminding users that, no matter how many cores you have, calling main memory or (shudder) disk storage puts one call at a time on a ferry called the BIOS, moving at system speed, waiting at the other end to be reloaded, paddling back, whilst all other calls twiddle their thumbs. Metro sounds as if if will add a LOT of trips. I have 4 unopened copies of Win7 H&F and a bunch of Win7 Pro to get me through until my turn with Charon, or M$ comes to their senses (hopefully first.) And what about that irony icon? Ѳ, representing a light bulb?
I need to multitask, but Windows 8's Metro won't let me
Simple multitasking
Now that I'm retired from system duties, I've been working in publishing. Let's see, Libre Writer working document, Live mail with a revision, CorelDraw web version, CorelPaint to edit web pictures, another Writer window with a related document, IE for searching and definitions (Does each tab count as a window, as it shows in Task Manager?), Live Mail BONG for sudden IMMEDIATE revision, window showing printer tasks and status, Windows Explorer window to find related docs & previous versions. Does the second monitor count as a task? How about the third one I've been considering adding? As I've said in other comments, stock up on Win7.

Liner/Cruise Ship
We have friends who get special rates on "Cruise ships" being repositioned across oceans between seasons, due to demand, or for repairs. How do you think they get those things to the Caribbean? Or the Azores? I've never been on a Round-the-World Cruise, but at least I know they exist. And if the captain's orders had been followed, the Concordia would have gone down in 70 fathoms, with a lot more fatalities.
Charge of the Metro brigade: Did Microsoft execs plan to take a hit?
What to do, what to do?
As I posted on the "mosh pit" article, stockpile Win 7, preferably the Family Pack, and wait it out. Off-lease machines are starting to appear with builder licenses for Win 7, so there's an option that lasts as long as used motherboards are available.
I am telling clients to switch to M$ Orifice 2007 or higher, because as much as I hate the ribbon, you'll be dealing with others who've never used anything else.
Windows 8: Thrown into a multi-tasking mosh pit
What to do?
Buy all the copies of Windoze Family Pack you can afford. Win 7 looks to be the next XP, chugging on forever. Or, in the Roddenberry vein, only the odd numbered ones are worthwhile.
Facebook IPO: Boom or bubble?
Minutes per user
So 20 minutes per user per day (not even trying to calculate users such as g e) is their business plan? I probably spend more time than that reading The Register®, but I also have it open in a tab ~24/7 without looking at it much more than that 20 mpd. My budget is about $5000 per month, and I've never been to Fecesbook. I wonder what ebay's mpu is?
GAGA prepares to munch some organic rug
Most efficient cutI've used six different cutting heads: rotary plastic blade or string, rotary metal, flail metal, cylindical reel, rotary metal with small swinging blades (essentially a giant string trimmer with five 1/2 meter heads and three 140mm blades on each,) and sickle bar. The last two are the most efficient, but the sickle bar suffers from weight. The plastic blades on the string trimmer work very well, and should be sufficient for one or two mowings of a home lawn before needing replacement. I recommend two heads in echelon to provide coverage without greatly increasing weight. Our Worx 18 volt cordless trimmers provide about 45 minutes of run time, and their Ni-Cad batteries are very inexpensive from the factory. If Worx is not available, Ryobi's are about the same price, probably from the same factory. My wife also made horse hay for two summers with a sythe!
Bond Blu-ray box set marks 50 years on film
Pushing the clockMy seventies are arriving fast enough without having seen Dr. No in 1952. Maybe you're thinking of Casino Royale on tv in 1954? Not, that's not included either. Let me remember seeing Oddjob fry in a Friday-night-packed small-town theater in 1964, at age 15, after drooling over Ursela Andress two years (and two movies) earlier.
Latest El Reg project: Rise of the Robot Sheep
Cylindrical? Get reel!
The stripes are left by the roller on the mower, not the blades. My 3 circular blades, 6' total width, are followed by a 6' roller, so I can leave stripes that can be seen from space, but striping is for stupid suburbanites with too much time on their hands. (And I can mow most such yards with one pass up and one pass back, so it's not very well striped.) Meanwhile, I'm composting the clippings back into the yard, thickening the sod.
Reel mowers require a LOT of torque, and are very finicky about being razor-sharp and closely-adjusted against the bed knife. I recommend a flail mower segmented finely, so each section can closely follow the ground, but spinning swords require the least power.
Incidentally, goats have the largest stomach-area/weight ration of any grazer and don't like anything close to the ground, probably an evolutionary adaptation to parasites, so they eat the roses before the grass. And, having had hundreds of ovines, you can only eat a lamb if it has no name. Once the kids name it, it's a pet, not lunch, and you can't house-break sheep. (At least they only leave pellets, about the size of rabbit berries, but they do piss bright yellow.)

Flash not
Since I've disabled flash cookies on my Windoz and Linux machines, some sites, such as shoplocal, don't show up properly, and some (sears/kmart!) don't ever appear, just flicker and flicker. I actually hit a site that had a tag "You must accept third-party Flash cookies to view this video." You don't think the A/A spat might be part of the problem? I don't have any sauce machines to try, and only a few sites I normally use have the problem.
When I went to post this, I had to remove my blocked cookie sites so the buzzard could remember my identity. I don't mind; I empty the list occasionally to speed up the page searching. It's much easier than unblocking and reblocking macromedia.
Adobe plots rebound with latest Creative Suite
Flushing Flash cookies
I don't know if I'm the only one to be able to disable these trackers, but I find it interesting that when you do there's no error message generated locally. I once hit a site that said "You must have third-party Flash cookies enabled to view this content" in the IMG tag; most of the time things just don't work, like shoplocal pages, but they obviously don't want you to know that it's the lack of tracking ability that keeps them blank.
Note that I actually disable their formation, not remove them after the fact, so I leave no trace of my surfing except for the inevitable IP collection.

Yesterday, The Boston Occupier had a What Would Wanna Say column regarding cyclist machismo and street harassment on two wheels. (It's a good read, you should check it out!)
I've written about my own experiences with harassment as a cyclist before, repeatedly, but as I read Wanna's piece I couldn't help but recall an incident that occurred years ago, before Hollaback! was on my radar at all – and it seemed only fitting to share.
My daily commute takes me through Chinatown, via Kneeland Street. On the day in question, it was warm – early summer – and still light when I left work to ride to JP to meet friends. I stopped at a light on Kneeland, and heard another bike stop behind me. When the light changed and traffic started moving, I found myself momentarily overtaken by a man on an ill-fitting mountain bike, pedalling madly and swerving into traffic to stay beside me.
"Where are you off to?" he wanted to know; I declined to share. "Aw, come on – can't I ride with you?"
I asked if he could keep up; he assured me he could even as his speech became staggered between breaths.
"I'm not slowing down," I warned. "I'm running late…"
"Why you gotta be like that, bitch?"
And then, the part that is always my favorite by bike: the getaway. Like the cyclist in Wanna's column, I was equipped with a much more efficient machine; on a mountain bike next to my fixed gear, he didn't have a hope of keeping up for long. I knew this, so I felt safe enough. I was amused as he ate my dust, not angry as I often am after a harassment incident. He, however, was angrier than some harassers as I left him behind rather than silently trudging past – there's something to that machismo, the rage that the loss of the position of power brings out when "beaten by a girl."
We always love to hear your stories, but on the first day of National Bike Month I'm feeling especially partial to fellow cyclists' tales – tell us, what's your best bike v. harasser win?

3 Ways to Meet Anyone You WantEach and every one of us has unlimited opportunities to connect with as many people as we want. In fact, the average person knows between 150 to 250 people and statistics show that every person is only 3-5 people away from President of the United States. To be successful in our endeavors we need to know where to go to maximize our opportunities. Here are 3 specific solutions to get personal and professional connections & Now!
Business Card Mixers
These are sponsored by Chambers of Commerce throughout the USA and Canada. These events are usually free or a small fee. In most cases you don't even have to be a member of the chamber. The key advantage is that everyone expects you to try to promote yourself, your product or service. Since this is expected, the whole event becomes a positive experience in a non-threatening environment. This event usually takes place right after work and the main purpose is for people to get acquainted and help each other for leads, ideas, information and friendships.
Rolodex/Database Parties
This consists of meeting with another person who may have potential clients for you and you for him or her. For example, both individuals should bring their rolodexes or contact management databases of past clients, contacts, friends, etc., then take turns on the phone calling on behalf of the other person. This works well because if a client likes and trusts us and we recommend the other person, that trust is transferred. Just be sure you have confidence in the person you are supplying a 3rd party endorsement for.
Networking Clubs
Join an established club or develop one of your own. Networking clubs provide a structured environment for people to share leads, information and ideas. By meeting on a regular basis and getting to know the people in the club, you become a team where everyone is consciously working to help each other. All you need to do to start a club is to find one other person. Find someone who does something different from you. Each of you then brings another person to the meeting who does not compete with you. The ideal number of people is from 6-12. My club meets every two weeks from 7:00 am to 8:00 am in the morning. In addition to forming your own club there are opportunities through associations, professional and trade organizations, fraternal, church, school groups and others.

Aaaaand the Flaming Onion Skinned Pinoys are at it again…
The pseudo nationalistic Pinoys are all over this foreigner's blog on how terrible Manila is.
"Manila itself is a shambles. The traffic is AWFUL (I seem to be using a lot of capital letters in this post) and nothing has been added to shops or other amenities (whereas e.g. Bangkok has transformed itself into an almost livable city).
Look: people will say the Filipino people are nice, and indeed they are polite – we Brits might say "smarmy" – obsequious or ingratiating are maybe less pleasant words. But they do try. That does take the edge off the sheer misery of a crumbling, filthy, depressing city and an economy that exists only on the remittances of the smart ones who have left."
Not exactly a lie, & yet some Pinoys are all up in arms in defending our nation's honor by typing in all caps & hurling incoherent insults towards the blogger. Kung gusto niyo ipaglaban ang dangal ng bansa, magsulat kayo ng comment na pinagisipan at ON TOPIC, huwag mo patunayan sa ibang lahi na inutil ang mga Pinoy. Or better yet, don't be a hypocrite & let other nationalities say the things that you say yourself & focus your energies on actually being a good citizen. Don't litter, follow traffic rules, do your homework & stop making pahid your kulangot on the pader. Yak!

The Likely Lads was a black and white Britcom that ran from 1964 to 1966 on The BBC. It followed the escapades of two young working-class men Oop North, Terry Collier (who was proud of his roots) and Bob Ferris (who wanted to better himself and become middle-class). It was created by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, and starred James Bolam as Terry and Rodney Bewes as Bob.However, what most people remember now is Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?, a revival that ran from 1973 to 1974, still written by Clement and La Frenais. In this show, Bob had succeeded in becoming middle-class and was engaged to the very middle-class Thelma, when Terry suddenly reappeared (he'd joined the army at the end of the original series), throwing his life into confusion.

Does anyone have experience with libpcap versus WINPcap from a performance
standpoint? I don't have packet numbers but I don't want to drop any. I
know how to use libpcap without the tcp/ip stack but how about WINPcap?
Since winpcap goes thr another layer to the network - it would always be
lower than the native lib. But the winpcap is good enough for normal - ie
fully utilised 100 Mbps switch that I have but I run that in "hub" mode to
sniff all the traffic - anything above that I think u would have to go
native using linux.
Since it is a protocol I don't think it works the same way. Does any know
of any other Windows solutions for logging all the traffic
Where are u exaclty putting up the network sensor ? I like to have this kind
of sencor sitting on the gateway with one network card for incomming and
other card for outgoing traffic and loging everything that goes and comes
out - if a packet dosent get logged it gets dropped.
(except video) on a network. I may have to recommend Windows over Linux to
client, if the performance is ok.
Linux pcap would always be better than a windows if you are going above 100
mbps I think - it all depends upon what u want to log and at what speed.
Since u don't want to any drop packets and most likely u are going to use
1000 mbps I would remommend native pcap libs

Judging by the pics, he's not running his oven hot enough yet. It should be hot enough that the crust blisters with little blackened spots all over it before turning brown. If the crust is a mostly uniform shade of brown, it's taking too long to cook and is likely getting a bit tough. Perfect neopolitan pizza should have a crisp outside but not be at all tough. It's tricky to get right and it takes a while to master the oven - hopefully this place will get there soon, they certainly seem to have their heart in the right place.
It sounds like you love your pizza as much as we do. We'd love to have you stop in and taste our interpretation of neapolitan pizza and then decide. Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but tasting is believing. Hope to see you soon and hear your thoughts!
@monopod Can't help but feel like the pizzeria is not worthy of the Ferraro oven. It looks like the pizzas and menu are not Neapolitan. Somebody help this guy!
@kah655 Challenge accepted! To give you an idea of what I mean, do a Google image search for "Motorino Pizza" (disqus apparently won't let me include a link, sorry). But I'm always open to being convinced!

Just click the little pencil icon, then click the link icon and paste your link.
stay open to A-Town! You'll like it. And you don't have to go to Brooklyn...

Stephanie Fiagrelle on Fox News using the top picture and thinking she was a dude.
Instead of answering salivating reporters, I'll post here. Yes, I'm aware that I look like a dude. I have known this my entire life- I'll prove it by sharing baby photos sometime. I've gotten bullied, hit on by gay dudes and hot "straight" girls, seen the inside of both male and female bathrooms. Gotten yelled at for going into the women's restroom- but never the men's. I've had to tell my parents, grandparents and the rest of my family that I am gay, ultimately facing their rejection. Luckily, since I've looked like a dude since birth, they all accepted me with open arms since they really weren't surprised.
I've encountered much adversity in my life because of the way I look and who I've chosen to share my life with. Thankfully, I figured out who I was at a young age and I have cultivated a deep sense of self-trust and unshakeable confidence in the process. I am fortunate to have a wonderful, support and loving wife who I got to marry at the top of the Empire State building almost 1 year ago. I have loving parents who have always encouraged me to be myself (except when I went through my baggy pants stage, they hated that) and I have kick ass friends who love me for me.
I have made the decision to live my life authentically no matter who likes it, who's confused by it, or who thinks I'm going to simmer in hell for eternity. I have many gay and transgender friends who suffer on a daily basis and to you I say, be who are with all of your heart. There's a passionate fire to LIVE deep inside of each of us and the world will do all it can to snuff it out. Don't let anyone take that passion from you. Don't try to change yourself to please other people. You'll lead a miserable, nightmare of an existence. Trust me, I know from personal experience.
For those who don't like the way other people look or the choices they make in life (that are ultimately none of your business), here's my advice: Take care of your own. Put all that energy and hate into bettering yourself, loving your kids and your wife/husband. Learn to open your heart and your mind and do your best to stop spewing your ignorance out into the universe.
Alright, end rant. I'm going to the beach!
Visibility isn't everything. I've never thought that politically, like, "Ooh, you came out! You're done!" I don't think that. No, now roll up your damn sleeves! There's work to be done! But we still shouldn't overlook how tremendously powerful it is. I always take great hope, however defeated I'm feeling politically about the world around us and what's happening, I get great hope from the fact that among the top shows on television are Modern Family and Glee. The world can't be that bad right now, at least with respect to gay rights. That's huge! That's worth celebrating. There's still way more to be done, but that actually does matter, number one.

What orther Camera do you see getting the job done at every NFL Football Game and watched around the World on TV ?
What else can I say ?
Sure I will take many hits on this one.
To some it will bring Pride, to others anger, raise blood pressure or maybe even a heart attack, but most of all put a smile on your face. or at least get your heart pumping faster.
Like they say, "SMILE" your on Candid Camera !!
Wonder how many will favorite this photo ?
Well, I can say this is, all in fun you other camera shooters, LOL
If you like this to sink in a little deeper you may view this in the large format
Sure I will not win any popularity contests with this much less be featuered, maybe even loose some viewers.

Put it in the Canon groups it will get featured there.
Thanks muh, thought they would not take it because it was something put together, will give it a try
– Tim Denny
Nothing but Canon for me Tim! I respect both brands, but I would never own anything other than a Canon.
Thanks Jonathan, here you on the camera choice. I also respect both cameras, and think both brands will and do a fantastic job, the probrlem I have is not with the Nikon camera it is with some of the owners. I have been on shootings, in fact I just got back from one with my son Scott, we were in Indiana.
I had two different people comment askng me what camera I had, when I said "Canon" they lost all interest.
Kind of bugs me and I just had to give those kind of people a shot.
– Tim Denny
Nikon guy here but I still love it, nice one Tim !!
Thanks, you are ok Nikon guy. We can handle you, LOL
