It was good to be missed, but it's even better to be back home.
The factors that led me to leave in September of 2011 after nearly 28 years in the Herald-Star newsroom were both a lot and very singular: They were mostly in my mind, which needed to be cleared.
Back in the summer of 2011, I had developed a strong aversion to this "whole new world" thing regarding journalism in the age of Twitter and Facebook. It felt like the job was passing me by.
But after 19 months of not writing, and that little voice saying "this is a sabbatical" getting louder, I found perspective.
What hit me hardest was that annoying commercial that says 1.4 billion people with cellphone cameras are journalists.
They're not.
And those of us who learned in the pre-digital era might just have a role to play in explaining why the rules existed.
And so, Alex Marshall, The Publisher, who was good enough to let me go find myself and good enough to bring me back when I needed to come home, and Ross Gallabrese, The Boss (at work) came up with a great plan for me.
I'm back in the print production end of the newsroom, on the copy desk. I'm also online as a blogger and maybe a reporter. Turns out, digital is nothing to fear.
I really hated it a few years back at some conference at the Franciscan University of Steubenville when I first heard the words "dead-tree journalism" referring to printed newspapers.
The perspective of time away gave form to my objection: The word "dead."
Yes, even on recycled newsprint, somewhere a tree died for the printed word. But "journalism" with the spirit of a newspaper is not dead in its digital form. It must thrive, and it still must continue to be based in fact, careful not to assume, careful to print what can be proven instead of what we "all know." It must continue to attract you, or the words are worthless. None of that is "dead."
To thrive, newspapers must embrace the 24-hour news cycle, with constant updates, smartphone apps (the Herald-Star's is available in the Apple App store and the Google Play marketplace), and yes, Twitter and Facebook and heaven knows what will take their place in a few years. Perspective and depth still have to be what makes the spirit of newspapering thrive, digital or high fiber in format.
So, yes, I now write four or five days a week on www.heraldstaronline.com. I use Twitter and Facebook to tell folks when Pablog is ready for them to read. And when the news strikes me, I will Tweet. Follow me at @PGiannamoreHS.
And the third leg of this welcome home journey is that Ross and I soon will embark on a new endeavor: a weekly video weblog.
"Ohio Valley This Week" will feature Ross and me going through a review of the week's news, a look ahead at the coming week's news and interviews with a newsmaker. Perhaps you might see a glimpse or two of the process we go through in making decisions about what is the content for our local news, why we think it's important for you, as well as how we cover it. Ross and I might just debate once in awhile online (though he sits in the editor's office behind the desk and thus always wins). And the program will evolve, too, just as all the world does, especially a high-speed digital world.
The plan for now is for the weekly video to be posted online on our website every Saturday. It will debut in May, and we'll let you know the exact date for the first post.
Newspapers aren't dead. Like matter and energy, they are changing from form to form.
(Giannamore may be followed on Twitter under the username @PGiannamoreHS. His blog, Pablog, is online at www.heraldstaronline.com. Giannamore has been part of the local media since 1981 and joined the Herald-Star in 1985.)

Whitefish Bay soccer team knocks off top-ranked DSHA< 1-0 in double OT
In the second half and throughout the first overtime, the Whitefish Bay girls soccer team had several great chances against top-ranked in state D1 polls DSHA Friday night
A shot was tipped away at the very last second by Dasher goalie Olivia Myszewski in the first overtime, and Bay even had a good look early in the second overtime, when Myszewski got caught out of position and a Bay player had a point blank shot only to have it knocked away by a fast moving defender.
Nothing would go in it seemed.
Until senior midfielder Leah Rothstein stepped to the leftside corner kick spot midway through the second OT and deftly knocked a high, looping shot towards the far upper right corner of the goal. Myszewski got her fingertips on it, but the ball slid just inside the post and down for the only goal in an important 1-0 nonconference victory.
"It was a tough game," said Rothstein. "We had a lot of shots. We just knew that eventually one of them had to go in. It felt good (when I kicked it)."» Read Full Article
Glendale woman, daughter killed in Texas car crash
A Glendale mother and daughter were killed in a car crash in Texas on Tuesday morning, police said Wednesday.
Katrina Holloway, 19, was driving a 1997 Volvo about 11 a.m. Tuesday when the Volvo crashed into the back of a 2009 Freightliner truck that had stopped at a red light at Highway 59 and College Drive in Lufkin, Texas, according to a Lufkin police news release.
The car was pinned more than halfway under the trailer, KTRE-TV in Texas reported. Holloway and her passenger, her mother Susan Holloway, 52, were killed in the crash. The driver of the van, Jose Hernandez, 49, was not injured, police said.
Katrina Holloway was a college student and an open map was reportedly found in the car, a police spokesman said.
Fatigue may have been a contributing cause, "however, we will probably never know for sure," Lufkin police Sgt. David Casper wrote in an email.» Read Full Article

Aeropostale will close at Bayshore
Financially challenged Aéropostale Inc. will close its shop in Glendale's Bayshore Town Center at the end of business Tuesday.
The closing will leave the teen apparel retailer with two stores in the Milwaukee area, at Southridge and Brookfield Square. Aéropostale has been at Bayshore since late 2006.
The company announced earlier this month that it will close about 125 of its "P.S. from Aéropostale" stores, which sell children's clothing. There are no P.S. stores in the area.
The New York-based retailer operates 931 Aéropostale stores and 150 P.S. shops. The company lost $141.8 million last year.

Consider group algebra k[G] of finite group G. If k is alg.closed then every irrep lives there with multiplicity equal to dimension. (More conceptually as bimodule over GxG it is multiplicity free and all irreps live there).
Now let k=F_p what is known then ? Is true that all irreps of G live in k[G] ? (Seems obviously yes... but to be sure) But multiplicities ?
If assume order of G does not divide p ?
G=Z/nZ, the F_p[G] = F_p[x] / (x^p-1) and every irreducible polynom generates ideal and hence subrepresentation, so these are quests about irred. polynoms. E.g. like this:
Motivation: "cyclic error correcting codes" are exactly the ideals in F_p[x] / (x^p-1) = F_p[G], why take G= Z/nZ ? may be take other groups give "better" codes ?

Synod on the Middle East
The Synod on the Middle East began in Rome on Monday and there have already been a number of interesting interventions. Today the two Muslim observers addressed the Synod: a historic first.Both John Allen at NCR and Austen Ivereigh at America are reporting on the spot, with their accustomed insight and professionalism.Sandro Magister has a transcript of Pope Benedict's Meditation at the opening of the Synod. It begins:
Dear brothers and sisters, on October 11, 1962, forty-eight years ago, Pope John XXIII inaugurated Vatican Council II. Back then, October 11 was the feast of the Divine Maternity of Mary, and by this action, on this date, Pope John wanted to entrust the entire council to the motherly hands, to the motherly heart of the Virgin Mary. We are also beginning on October 11, and we also want to entrust this synod, with all its problems, with all its challenges, with all its hopes, to the maternal heart of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God.Pius XI had introduced this feast in 1930, sixteen hundred years after the Council of Ephesus, which had legitimated Mary's title of "Theotkos," "Dei Genitrix". In this great expression "Dei Genitrix," "Theotkos," the Council of Ephesus had summarized the entire doctrine on Christ, on Mary, the entire doctrine of the redemption. And so it is worth it to reflect a little, for a moment, on the message of the Council of Ephesus, the message of this day.In reality, "Theotkos" is an audacious title. A woman is Mother of God. One might say: how is this possible? God is eternal, he is the Creator. We are creatures, we are in time: how could a human person be Mother of God, of the Eternal, given that we are all in time, we are all creatures? So one realizes that there was strong opposition, in part, against this expression. The Nestorians said: one may speak of "Christotkos," yes, but of "Theotkos," no: "Thes," God, is beyond, above the events of history. But the Council decided this, and precisely in this way brought to light the adventure of God, the greatness of what he has done for us. God did not remain within himself: he came out from himself, he united himself so much, so radically with this man, Jesus, that this man Jesus is God, and what we say about him we can always say about God as well. He was not born only as a man who had something to do with God, but in him God was born on earth. God came out from himself. But we can also say the opposite: God has drawn us into himself, so that we are no longer outside of God, but we are inside, inside God himself.
The rest is here.

It seems to me that the function of "the Synod" as described in the official papers at the Vatican website is at best not clear. The Introduction to the Synod gives various descriptions of "the Synod" or "a Synod", defining it thus:** The Synod, generally speaking, can be defined as an assembly of bishops representing the Catholic episcopate, having the task of helping the Pope in the governing of the universal Church by rendering their counsel."The Introduction tells us a bit of history, including how Paul VI envisioned Synods:"The Synod of Bishops is a permanent institution established by Pope Paul VI, 15 September 1965, in response to the desire of the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council to keep alive the spirit of collegiality engendered by the conciliar experience."However, I don't think "Synod" meant the same thing to Paul VI as it does to Benedict XVI. The Introduction also says,"Finally at the conclusion of a discourse beginning the last session of the Council (14 September 1965), Pope Paul VI himself made public his intention to establish the Synod of Bishops in the following words: 'The advanced information that We Ourselves are happy to share with you is that we intend to give you some institution, called for by this Council, a "Synod of Bishops", which will be made up of bishops nominated for the most part by the episcopal Conferences with our approval and called by the Pope according to the needs of the Church, for his consultation and collaboration, when for the well-being of the Church it might seem to him opportune.'"Here the members of a Synod are to be nominated mostly by bishops' conferences, which, if I remember correctly, has not been done with the Synods under Benedict.At the end of the Introduction it is said that, " Through the Holy Fathers acceptance of the advice or the decisions of a given Assembly, the episcopate exercises a collegial activity which approaches but does not equal that manifested at an Ecumenical Council."It seems to me these are very strong claims for a group like the present one which presents the views of only a small portion of the whole episcopate, and a regional one at that, and whose pronouncements are only about topics chosen by the Pope. The Introduction continues with what I think is an astonishing statement: " This is a direct result of various factors: the ensured representation of the whole episcopate, the convocation by the Holy Father and the unity of the episcopate, which, in order to be one, requires that there be a Head of the College (John Paul II, Pastores Gregis, 56), who is first in the episcopal order."This tiny little meeting represents "the whole episcopate"??? And there is not only representation but *ENSURED* representation. This is spite of the fact that the bishops at large don't even vote on who will be members. In any ordinary sense of the term "represents" what this text is saying is nonsense. But apparently we are not to fear -- the Pope is still at the top.http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/synod/documents/rc_synod_20050309_docu... I don't understand is how the Vatican can talk such nonsense with a straight face.
The first part of the meditation is probably inspired by books by Cardinal Ratzinger on Marian beliefs. The rest gives a glimpse of Pope Benedict's hopes and worries. He makes a transition from the day's psalm to the false gods in today's world. His list: " the anonymous capitals that enslave man, that are no longer something belonging to man, but are an anonymous power that men serve, and by which men are tormented and even slaughtered"; "terrorist ideologies. Violence is done apparently in the name of God, but this is not God"; "drugs, this power that... stretches its hands over all parts of the earth and destroys"; and "the way of life promoted by public opinion: today it's done this way, marriage doesn't matter anymore, chastity is no longer a virtue, and so on".Then he interprets a text from Revelation: "It is said that the dragon directs a great stream of water against the fleeing woman, to sweep her away... But the good earth absorbs this river... I think that it is easy to interpret ... the river ... is these currents that dominate everyone, and want to eliminate the faith of the Church, which seems to have nowhere to stand ... And the earth... is the faith of the simple, which does not allow itself to be swept away by these rivers". So, the "faith of the simple" will protect the Church from the threats of the modern world: financial markets, terrorism, drugs and unchastity. Quite a laundry list! But all that has little to do with the Synod. I'm not particularly surprised, except by the mention of drugs: how did that concern suddenly make the A-list?
Three separate comments: 1. Pope Benedict's words about "Theotokos" and the Council of Ephesus, God's entry in this world and our entry into the Godhead, are powerful and almost overwhelming to meditate on. 2. The parallel between the birth of Jesus Christ and the birth of Christ's church or Christ in his church seem to demand a nuance of the sort Newman could supply. The unqualified equation of Jesus the Christ and church the Christ has been used to terrible ends. 3. As Claire notes, at some point, the Pope's homily turns to all the false divinities (ideologies) in our world against which stands only the church. There is nothing else true or good or God-filled or Christ-inspired mentioned. I don't think that this dichotomy church/God/Jesus versus false divinities/ideologies/modern world is really posed here in terms of something that Benedict is systematically arguing; it is simply a natural formulation for him. I find this revealing and disturbing.
Actually I had a fourth unconnected observation: Why is it that almost any post on this blog dealing with sex will draw scores of comments but one about a papal meditation opening a synod draws only two before mine? Isn't it because a thick cloud of distrust hangs between many of us and even the most eloquent and moving of papal words? What will make them cease to seem like beautiful and learned filigree?
Peter, speaking for myself, these words do not hold power for me. I think that it's a question of education. The ideas are abstract, the nuances are not concepts I am used to thinking about, some of the words are outside my usual vocabulary, and the mere effort of understanding what he means destroys, for me, the enjoyment that you get from it. In the present case my lack of interest reveals not prejudice but ignorance.But Pope Benedict can sometimes be very accessible, and you have a point. It has happened in recent months that I have felt some first stirrings of being moved but have refused to let myself be carried away by some eloquence that he was deploying. As you are guessing, the reason is distrust. It's not voluntary, and it's not pleasant. I do not know if I am the only one.But the theme for this Sunday's gospel is perseverance. Hopefully things will get better somehow.
"The unqualified equation of Jesus the Christ and church the Christ has been used to terrible ends.."Peter --I don't understand the sentence above. Could you clarify, please. I read some of the Pope's talk. Yes, at his best he makes very basic theological connections that are very enlightening. Here, for instance, he talks interestingly about Mary as the mother of the Church. However, he makes no mention of the specific Churches represented in the Synod and why their problems are so urgent. He dodged the subject of the Synod -- middle eastern Catholic problems.He seems to be at his best when explaining the most basic tenets of the faith, but it's my impression that he gives relatively little attention to the specific problems of the contemporary Church. I fear that somehow he has managed to stay in his ivory tower.As to your third point, I read that this week he has announced the formation of a new dicastery to take on the problems of secularism. Maybe the topic was particularly on his mind. But it seems to me that because his college and university training was all in the old fashioned sort of Catholic seminary that saw only evil in the Enlightenment, he has an inadequate understanding of the intellectual grounds of secularism and little appreciation of its merits or empathy for its very real existential challenges. I think he tends to demonize secularism more than it deserves, and uses every opportunity he gets to down-grade it. This talk was such an opportunity. And, as you suggest, simply trashing relativism, hedonism and despair will not attract anyone to the Church.
Though some to whom I sent the Pope's meditation found it "powerful," others clearly were not equally moved (though Peter evidently found portions "almost overwhelming to meditate on").I think it useful to contextualize a bit.1. The words were a meditation given during Midday prayer which is celebrated at the Synod each day. On subsequent days others have lead/will lead the meditations.2. Hence his "lectio divina" was not meant to be a programmatic introduction to the labors of the Synod, nor to preempt the discussion, which seems to be quite lively judging by the reports from Allen and Ivereigh.3. Its liturgical character means also that he is addressing the faithful gathered in prayer and Synod. Thus the language is different than when he speaks in Westminster Hall (a speech hailed in England, yet also the recipient of benign neglect on dotCommonweal).4. Finally, one reason for the post is to remind us of the terrible afflictions experienced by so many of our brothers and sisters in the Eastern churches for whom even a brief reference to the "false gods" of the anonymous flow of capital and terrorist violence have resonances in daily life, that are, perhaps, beyond our imagining. Nor is the Pope's evocation of martyrdom (to use Newman's word) merely "notional." Witness the moving references in the interventions of the Synod participants to the many who have been killed.5. To repeat: Allen and Ivereigh provide excellent coverage of the ongoing deliberations. Here is Allen's summary of the first week: http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/sweeps-week-rome
I think we've had many long threads about matters other than "sex." I do agre that many evocations/meditations get little commentary.I also think in our divided, often polarized world and Church, people are more anxious to talk about policies and rules .It may be that the Pope's evocations often seem too far distant from the daily issues that many people are grappling with.
When I first began reading of some of the issues that were being talked about in this Synod---the issues dealt with some extremely urgent and practical needs, such as the need for more priests in these rites---and, they wanted them to be allowed to be married. If the Rite is Ukrainian Byzantine, for just one example, the parish priest in the Ukraine---may be married----but not in Canada, the US, in Mexico, etc. Eastern Rite priests must follow the celibacy rules of the Roman Rite. This Synod---brought this question up---and wanted to present this to the Pope. But according to what the Pope is saying----what has happened to these very practical concerns---that are facing these Rites---who have even fewer vocations in the Western World than does the Roman Rite?
Re: "Why is it that almost any post on this blog dealing with sex will draw scores of comments?"Answer: Because it has to do with Sex and Religion, i.e., Sex and the Catholic Church. Does anyone share my view that there's entirely too much religion on dotCommonweal. After all, CWL advertises itself as a journal of Politics, Religion, Literature and the Arts.
I'd like more on literature and the arts, but unfortunately literature and the arts generally these days are in pretty bad shape. In recent days I've read at least three articles in the secular press bemoaning the lack of good fiction. How many fiction writers are there whose latest we anticipate? Somebody named Franzen just published a greatly anticipated novel, but not only did it not make the Booker short-list as expected, but it was also panned in some places.I don't know about contemporary music, but the plastic arts are incomprehensible for most of us most of the time, or plain trivial, or thoroughly off-putting like the dead shark installed in a tank that went for a couple of million dollars. Who needs it?
Little Bear, You might be comforted to know that I teach the children of our local Ukrainian Catholic priest here in western Canada and his wife frequently comes to the school. The "national policy" (?) is a little more nuanced than what is implied; seminarians in Canada of the eastern rite follow the Latin norms to a large extent, but married clergy are often imported. To get around the situation, many married Ukrainian Catholics are trained in Europe, then return to Canada.As a latin rite Catholic with some eastern rite family members, I can only hope that both rites continue to grow together and feed off of each other like a marriage. Not with one party dominating the other (mostly latinizations) but still with a symbiotic relationship. I hope the west can reawaken some more formal aspects of the liturgy preserved in the east, especially considering the quality of the liturgy in the west. This morning (my father is a cantor) the Gloria had a decidedly 'All in the Family' "Those Were the Days" feel to it. And whether we are liberal or conservative, young or old, I think we should strive for music that elevates the mind to God and refreshes the soul, not makes the angels' ears bleed.
Mrs. O'Brien Steinfels,I am sorry but I am of the opposite opinion. If I want to read about politics, I read political magazines (The Economist, Times, Macleans). I read Commonweal for specific Catholic insights into our daily secular lives...politics, literature, culture and the arts. Commonweal should not try to compete with those aforementioned magazines on their home turf. http://www.theonion.com/video/time-announces-new-version-of-magazine-aim... agree with Mrs. Olivier about wanting more literature and the arts *in theory*. I suppose that desire is predicated on the belief that there must be some modern literature and art worth discussing. But with so much beautiful music out there...I still have a hard time turning on the radio for some strange reason. Here in Canada we had a 'Canadian content' quota...but I wonder if there isn't also a crap quota.
"I read Commonweal for specific Catholic insights into our daily secular livespolitics, literature, culture and the arts. Commonweal should not try to compete with those aforementioned magazines on their home turf."Adam --I agree about looking for Catholic insights into the secular. But I don't think relating the sacred and profane is a matter of competition, it's a matter of complementarity. Or it should be.About the arts and culture (whatever "culture' is), I see two big problems. The arts these days are not themselves very insightful or inspiring or simply timelessly beautiful, so our cultural landscape is a wasteland littered with artistic schlock, and these days the Chuch itself doesn't understand the arts. See the liturgical cultural wars. If the Church underst00d the relations (plural) between liturgy and the arts there wouldn't be any such wars. There were no liturgical wars in Europe in 1200. I ask: why not? My big question is: what insights, if any, does religion have into the arts that the arts can't see about themselves? Can the arts give us insigts that science -- and theology -- can't? What is art for, anyway? Intense appreciation of sensory form? Well, it's that, but that hardly suffices to produce things with the value of Sophocles or Chartres Cathedral or even of Rumi's off-hand little poems.How do we even go about answering these questions? Is Scripture a help?

More than 175 years ago, Albert Gallatin, the distinguished statesman who served as secretary of the treasury under Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, declared his intention to establish "in this immense and fast-growing city ... a system of rational and practical education fitting for all and graciously opened to all." Founded in 1831, New York University is now one of the largest private universities in the United States. Of the more than 3,000 colleges and universities in America, New York University is one of only 60 member institutions of the distinguished Association of American Universities.
From a student body of 158 during NYU's very first semester, enrollment has grown to more than 50,000 students at...
... three degree-granting campuses in New York City, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai, and at study away sites in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America. Today, students come from every state in the union and from 133 foreign countries. The faculty, which initially consisted of fourteen professors and lecturers (among them artist and inventor Samuel F. B. Morse), now totals over 4,500 full-time members whose research and teaching encompasses arts and media; business; law; education; health and medicine; humanities and social sciences; science, technology, engineering, and math; public administration; the ancient world; and continuing professional studies. With more than 2,500 courses offered, the University awards more than 25 different degrees. Although overall the University is large, the individuals schools and colleges are small- to moderate-sized units – each with its own traditions, programs, and faculty – and there are many communities to be found within the NYU community based on interests, activities, and shared experiences.
The center of NYU is its New York City campus in the heart of Greenwich Village. One of the most creative and energetic cities in the world, New York City has attracted generations of artists, entrepreneurs, and intellectuals. NYU, in keeping with its founder's vision, is "in and of the city": the University – which has no walls and no gates – is deeply intertwined with New York City, drawing inspiration from its vitality.
NYU Mission Statement
Great cities are engines of creativity, and New York University takes its name and spirit from one of the busiest, most diverse and dynamic cities of all. The University lives within New York and other great cities, from Abu Dhabi to Shanghai, Paris to Prague, Sydney to Buenos Aires—all magnets for talented, ambitious people.
Thriving beyond borders and across academic disciplines, NYU has emerged as one of the most networked and extensive worldwide platform for learning, teaching, researching, building knowledge, and inventing new ways to meet humanity's challenges. Its students, faculty and alumni feed off the stimulating power of swirling intellectual and cultural experiences by mastering academic disciplines, expressing themselves in the arts, and excelling in demanding professions.
New York University's mission is to be a top quality international center of scholarship, teaching and research. This involves retaining and attracting outstanding faculty who are leaders in their fields, encouraging them to create programs that draw outstanding students, and providing an intellectually rich environment. NYU seeks to take academic and cultural advantage of its location and to embrace diversity among faculty, staff and students to ensure a wide range of perspectives, including international perspectives, in the educational experience.


text: The lesson you see before you is was done because in 2014 Angelina Jolie will be acting in the famous Disney tale of an evil sorceress from Sleeping Beauty. Today you will be learning "how to draw Maleficent", step by step. There is so many new movies coming out next year and a lot of them are pretty stupid. I have yet to see what the trailer looks like for Maleficent which is who Angelina Jolie is playing. For the movie pic that Disney released she looks to resemble the evil Sorceress with the headdress that she wears and with the color of the yellow eyes. I don't know what to expect, but I am going to be optimistic. Anyways, have fun drawing Maleficent people and I will prepare the next tutorial.

What color is your car?
According to DuPont, white has been the most popular car color in purchases for the last 3+ years in the US, but silver has been the most popular color worldwide. White, black, silver, grey and red were the 2011 top 5 colors.
I bought my last car in October 2009 and it's silver.
48 Answers answer
Mine is "Polished Metal" color. To my eye, it looks a little coppery colored but everyone else seems to think it's grey.
I wanted white, blue or black but this was the only color that was available at the time.
Is rust a color?
Blue. It's the first car that I've ever owned that was not white, black or gray.
Red and Silver, but the purchase had nothing to do with color. It was good deal on CL...lol.
Golden...just like me!
I'm so tired of seeing 75% being either white, silver/gray, beige! It's so boring!!
That being said, my car is bright orange hehe
Dark Metallic Blue. I special-ordered my car so I got everything I wanted. :-P
Bought my Taurus in 03 and it's white; bought the 4Runner in 11 and it's red.
Well up until Monday we had 3 cars:
Now we only have two cars (traded in the silver and white) for a black car. So we're just a boring family with two black cars.
@chellemonkey: My first car was white & orange :)
I've also had red, green and blue. When I bought the last one I could not wait for them to order me something so I went with what was on the lot and it was either black or silver, and I went with silver.
I had just finished reading @conanthelibrarian's question about cats, so I guess I had "cats" on the brain because I thought @Imensor asked, "What color is your cat?"
My CAR is boring white. My CAT is orange and he is not boring.
i am one of those people.
my first car was some shade of burgundy(got it off a used lot somewhere).
my next car is polynesian green (i still have and love it).
and my current car is cat's eye blue (i needed a/c as i got older).
on the other hand hubby has different color varietys: white, beige (with green showing under it), brick, and olive all predominated by the color of RUST.
It's called Yellow Pearl, and it's gorgeous. It doesn't work for every car, but on a 300zx it's perfect.
I'm on my 3rd black in a row. The last 2 have the shiny metallic paint.
2006 Civic: Nighthawk Black Pearl
2012 CR-V: Basque Red Pearl II
Current cars:
'07 Ford Sport Trac: Dark Blue
'06 Mazda 3: Winning Blue Metallic
past Cars:
'08 Subaru Outback- Newport Blue Pearl
'98 Subaru Legacy - silver metallic
'81 Mazda MX-6 - White with Grey fender accent and Red hood accent :)
First car (can't remember make/model) - Red
Rav4 - White
Altima - Arctic Frost (pearl white)
Black Onyx... my last 4 cars have been black with black or dark gray leather interiors (all special ordered). Crazy I know, they're painful to keep clean.
Silver/Blue (it's supposed to be blue, but it looks silver unless you look really closely)
70's Pastel Green
Note that the color of my car is determined by what's being offered for sale - I've bought a different color car than the one I originally wanted just because it was cheaper. The only things I avoid are black & white - they are both too hard to keep clean.
Colors for cars I've owned previously:
Light Green
Dark Green
Dark Green
Dark Blue
And a gray box truck.
(I'm sure that the colors had pretty marketing names - but I can't be bothered. It's RED, not Puffer-Fish-Crimson or Riding-Hood-Scarlet! RED!)
And the white vehicle thing has got to be influenced by corporate/government fleets.
Salsa Red
Redfire Metallic
Charcoal Grey
Bright red. Not really my fave colour but I really love my car!
Black. But SUVs look good in black!
Previous cars, in reverse order:
Maroon Red, Black, White.
black and white with a cherry on top
the original color of my vehicle is completely indeterminable.
like my original hair color.
@pemberducky: I thought that was your natural hair color.
Oh um, my first car was green. My current car is whatever color scheme transit is using.
I sell GMC's in Houston and I would say that 75% of all the cars we sell are either white,black or silver that being said, I drive a white car and so does my wife.
I have silver but it's not by choice. Often unless you special order and pay close to sticker, you are stuck with the colors that they have on the lot. I really wanted green but it didn't have all the features I wanted.
Silver car and silver truck.
Black- like my heart :-)
@jseureau: chicken/egg
Vibrant colors sell in fewer numbers
Manufacturers don't make as many vibrant colors
Goto 1
white, which is a godsend since i live in the desert...
White. I would like another color but it would have to be a light color as I live in the desert. But I would love a bright yellow or yellow-orange or that pretty copper color. Or on the other side of the spectrum lime or aqua would be nice. However, this was literally the only new manual transmission Honda Civic coupe in a 600 mile radius when I bought it so the selection was this one, or this one.
I read an article that on average green cars cost more than the other colors. Although this was only new cars, used cars it didn't matter. If I cared a bit more I would look for the article for you. I'm assuming it has to do with what @j5 said.
Current - red wagon, white truck.
Previous cars - green, green, blue-green, black, navy, and orange-red.
2003 Silver Sebring Convertible
1 black, ; 1 "laguna seca blue" ; 1 "ruby mica", and 1 "british racing green".
@chellemonkey: That's funny, because when i bought my car I told the salesman I wished it was yellow, but that yellow cars cost at least twice as much as this one. He thought about it, laughed and agreed that it was mostly expensive sports cars that came in yellow from the factory. I was on the waiting list for two years for a green Prius. They kept offering me silver ones, but I held out for a green one for two years, till I finally did the math and realized that I drive too little for a Prius to be cost effective, and bought my Honda. My car is 4.5 years old and has only 27,000 miles on it.
Currently red (claret).
Dark Cherry.
British Racing Green II
Just bought my first car this week! It's a 2013 Ford Focus SE Hatchback in Race Red.
Edit: Her name is Sherry, for those who want to know :D
Is Batman A Colour?
Most recent has been a dark blue F150. Before that was a silver Mustang. Before that was a gray Escape and a blue Focus. That is since 2008. Common denominator? Ford baby. Blue oval all the way.
My car is Silver and sports-bike is Red.
My truck color is called champagne (looks golden beige) my car is tan and my wifes car is that new green color everyone is getting.
Currently :
"Mineral Grey Metallic" '05Dodge Neon.( The 1 Color you can't find @ most parts stores, have to get touch-up from the Dealer $$)
"Imperial White" Y2k Hyundai Sonata ("Bob")
"Driftwood Metallic" (looked champainey-goldish) 87 Oldsmobile 98Regency Brougham( w/ Vinyl Top.)
white 93 Chevy Corsica(maybe "ghost white"?)
"Cayman Green" 94 Ford Aerostar (Teal-ish in day light, almost navy Blue in some of the yellowier street/parking lot lights.)
I really want my next car to be orange. Really Really.
I have two cars, Audi A4 and Honda Civic
Audi A4- Black
Honda Civic- Red
The former one i.e. Audi A4, I recently bought from an online auto store called http://www.autopartsfair.com/ in a fantastic condition and at a much competitive price and planning to get another one but this time a bit different color preferably blue.

TOPEKA – The most endangered animal on the North American continent is native to Kansas. Once thought to be extinct, a lone colony of Black Footed Ferrets was discovered. United States Fish and Wildlife along with other conservation partners, including the Topeka Zoo, worked to breed the nearly extinct species and reintroduce it back to the wild.
The story of the Black-footed Ferret will launch a new Conservation Lecture Series presented by the Topeka Zoo focusing on local, national and international conservation stories. The zoo will utilize guest speakers specializing in selected topics for each presentation.
The presentations will occur on the second Thursday of every other month of 2013, beginning in January. Each presentation will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Gary K. Clarke Living Classroom at the Topeka Zoo.
The first program of the zoo's Conservation Series, The Reintroduction of the Black Footed Ferret, will be presented by Dan Mulhern, supervisor of the Manhattan office of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife service, at 6:30pm on Thursday, January 10th. Admission for the program is free.
Dan Mulhern has supervised the re-introduction of Black Footed Ferrets back into the Kansas landscape since the re-introduction program began in 2007. He will share the events that impacted the Black Footed Ferret species, once listed as extinct. He will tell the amazing story of the rediscovery of a small colony of these ferrets and the breeding program that ultimately came to include the re-introduction of these amazing animals back into Kansas. He will also share the on-going efforts to ensure the survival of the Black Footed Ferret as a Kansas animal.

Awesome fenders

Love these fenders. Alot of cutting involved. Luckily had a buddy to help with the work. Well worth it, would do it all over again if I had to.

I love my new Bushwacker fender flares! They look great with the new 35" tires on my 2000 Cherokee XJ. It looks a lot better than just cutting the fenders out and leaving them with no flares. They make the whole vechicle look a lot bigger because of the extra width they add. Installation was a bit tricky so I took it to a shop that does my painting.

Seeds of Change – North African Women Entrepreneurs
The following is cross posted from Intel's Corporate Social Responsibility blog.
The Arab Spring has set into motion an awakening….an opportunity that hasn't been seen historically by women in North Africa and the Middle East. Women feel more empowered than ever to change their circumstances, change their status and change their communities. I personally witnessed the "stirrings" during a recent opportunity in Morocco to represent Intel as a Corporate Ambassador and speak to a conference of numerous business women about leveraging social media to grow their businesses.
Intel is actively involved in programs to empower girls and women. For over 40 years, Intel has been creating technologies that advance the way people live, work and learn. Intel believes that to foster innovation and drive economic growth, everyone, especially girls and women, need to be enabled with education, employment and entrepreneurial skills. It is evidence based that improving women's economic status produces positive outcomes for society. Unfortunately, technology has been underused in unlocking women's economic opportunities. My recent trip to Morocco was a chance to shrink that digital divide.
Morocco is an interesting blend of old and new. On the Atlantic Ocean, a brand new modern mall (The Moroccan Mall) recently opened with Jennifer Lopez headlining, while a short distance away shop keepers are selling clothing and produce at the local Souk. Over half of the population of 30 million people (the size of California or Canada), are Internet users, with women rising to 33.5% of all users. However, there are existing barriers with 61.7% women being illiterate and 15% of the population living below the poverty line. In recent years significant measures have been taken to improve the status of women in Morocco. Efforts to reduce gender inequality within the legal system and laws to improve a women's personal status have provided new equality opportunities. In 1995 revisions to Morocco's commercial code provided women with the right to start a business and enter into a contract of employment without a husband's authorization. On top of the commercial code, recent legislation now allows for women to have control over their property and money, plus eliminated a wife's obligation to obey her husband. Despite the legislation, women owned business represent only 0.8% of the total female workforce.
I must make an important note based upon the misperception that the women's businesses are along the genre of hand-made crafts – quite the contrary. The businesses included a bottled water company, a coffee shop, an advertising agency, and a coffee pod distributor. We even had a young woman entrepreneur, Karima El Aji, speak about her start-up Internet business – Cadolik. Most of the businesses have had success within Morocco and they now want to leverage social media to utilize e-commerce and expand their reach to an international audience. I realized that Morocco is at the beginning stages of not only social media, but the internet too, meaning that they have the challenge and benefit of starting a total digital experience all at once. It is an opportunity for them to create a truly integrated experience along with a strong device agnostic approach (mobile is BIG in the region). Unlike the U.S., much of the online presence will be promotional & informational vs. transactional. They need to devise plans to drive online traffic to brick & mortar locations – a vastly different model from what we have here in the U.S.
After 3 days, the women walked away excited to put their new knowledge to work and hungry to learn more. I realized there is a huge opportunity to help women in this region leverage online technologies effectively. While the opportunity is significant, I was reminded by the women that challenges still remain. Morocco is not a democracy, so freedom of speech is limited; social media dangles some potentially dangerous territory in front of them. In addition, women are concerned that more extreme Islamic rule across the region will increase its influence in Morocco and force women's rights to regress. Time will tell. But the seeds of changes have been planted. My hope is that these seeds can be sown by the continued efforts of companies like Intel, NGOs such as Vital Voices, and initiatives of the U.S. State department. Thanks to social media, I plan to remain in contact with my new Morocco businesswomen colleagues and help them along the journey.

It peels good to win doesn't it?
In both PvE and PvP winning usually involves defeating an opponent and/or gaining an objective.
Sometimes to kill one opponent, we have to deal with several.
In PvE, we deal with this in one of two ways:
- AoE FTW!
AoE becomes the norm after a certain gear level has been reached – normally where tank and healer are both up to the job.
- CC and focus.
CC is often used haphazardly until this iLevel point, or because the party prefers control and is used to control.
In PvP, whether BGs, Arenas or World PvP, AoE doesn't work so well. Some of us are intelligent enough to know when we are standing in the bad, and without the computer generated concept of threat, we can move away. Of course some people will play by human generated threat, and just stand and slug it out, ignoring the negligible incoming damage.
CC and snares, even with their reduced duration and diminishing returns in PVP, are still the best way to deal with masses of opponents.
Decisions… decisions….
Your 1st reactions when entering mass combat should be:
- Who is the focus target?, and
You want to know the focus target 1st… no point in CC'ing a target that is about to be destroyed – especially with cyclone which just makes that target immune to it's imminent death (giving their healers time to top off their health).
- Who do I CC?, and
Next you want to identify and CC – repeatedly if possible – additional targets. Healers are often the 1st choice, although sometimes you may be better off CC'ing another target (say the flag carrier) and destroying the healer that is keeping your opponents alive. Whatever the case, pick one – CC them, make sure they stay that way. Worst case is they blow their trinket to get out of your CC… now they wont be doing that for a couple more minutes, so CC them again!
- Is this the fight I need to win?
- Do you need to win this fight?
Are you fighting for the survival of your flag carrier, or to return your flag to the base to enable a cap? If so, this is a noble cause worth fighting for, now is the time to use all the tricks in your spellbook, CC and snares included.
- Is this a distraction from the primary goal?
Does the player you are fighting bear no relationship to the state and position of your flag carriers (or team mates in need)? If so, you are wasting, or maybe they are wasting, your time, energy and health bar. You are better served putting your resources where they are needed.Yes there are times where it is a worthwhile cause to fight without any objectives in play.
– Maintaining a clean midfield – when no flag carriers are at risk, or running right by you.
– Holding 5 players away from a node so it can tick over.
Of course, once again these are tactical fights. They are performing a service to the team, not just putting the team a player down.
Picking your fights and peeling FTW!
So let's talk about peeling, probably only a term known, in context, by PvPers even though it has fundamentally the same intent as CC'ing or kiting adds in PvE.
The objective is to peel additional opponents off your primary target. Your primary target may be the enemy flag carrier, the friendly flag carrier, your focus kill target, your healers or just a team mate in need.
When the primary target is the enemy.
Just as in PvE, when you want to kill one of many targets – fast, with little health loss. Your objective is to shutdown any other enemies that may heal or inflict damage, with healers always the priority.
I can't tell you how many arena battles have our opponents doing double the damage we have done – twice the work for less results, purely because we have the heals and therefore the time, to finish on top. if we didn't have the heals (say, maybe they focused, or CC'd our healer 1st), then the fight would have gone their way.
When you are fighting in PvP, you want the numerical advantage just as you do in PvE. You don't have the luxury of a threat table to ensure that everyone is focused on one strong target, so you need to employ CC, snares, stuns etc to reach the numeric advantage. You want to peel the opponents off, so there are less in the fight and you can concentrate on the one high value target.
Imagine 5 players streaming downfield in WSG, one of these is the enemy flag carrier (efc), two of them are healers and 2 are dps/peel support).
You can't kill the flag carrier with 2 healers keeping him up, so they need to be stopped (err… yeah euphemism).
However, stopping to kill them will allow the flag carrier to get away.
The answer is to not stop chasing the efc, but to ensure that the efc and their supporters are separated.
Isolate the EFC!
CC the support team, stun them, snare them. Every second they are CC'd, is a second that the efc is further from support.
Assuming you continue moving with the efc while peeling their support team, very soon it will be them solo, against you (and hopefully your team mates).
If they stand and fight… awesome, continue to peel/CC and take them down one by one, leave no survivors, especially the flag carrier.
The primary target doesn't have to be the flag carrier. If they stand and fight, kill the healer while peeling the others.
Maybe it's a dps/support player (someone like me) that is just constantly keeping you away from the efc and they need to be stopped… so stop them, but don't forget the efc.
A perfect example of not forgetting the efc occurred today.
I was chasing the efc, but one of his support, a Warlock no less, stopped to take care of me. It was a golden opportunity to take down that Warlock one-on-one, and for a moment my instinct was for dps rather than CC… but I saw the efc disappear past our graveyard, the Warlock was doing his job well, peeling me from my target.
A moment later the Warlock was CC'd, I had caught the efc and with a little bit more CC, the flag was once again safe at the base.
I peeled off the efc, then chased down the unsupported, isolated, spellstolen, Paladin efc FTW!
When the primary target is an ally
It's a similar situation when you are peeling to help a team mate, just, well kind of reversed.
Rather than trying to maximise the focus on an enemy, you are trying to reduce the focus on an ally.
Many BGs can be won this way, without piles of stress and bloodshed.
Your flag carrier may not have a clear path up midfield, but a few CC's and snares can cause your enemy to lose interest in your flag carrier (they may turn it on you, or they may realise they don't have a hope in hell and head the other direction), ultimately providing the clear path where one didn't previously exist.
When the primary target is a friendly healer
Your healers have a simple priority when it comes to healing (I know, because I have been a BG healer).
- Heal themselves
- Heal others if necessary
When the healer is being attacked, they will fall back to 1) Heal themselves. Which of course means, you are going to have to help yourself and the best, long term, method for that is to help them.
You probably have a common objective and your current focus target is possibly the correct one, but you still need to peel off your healer to give them space to heal you. Until you peel for them, they probably wont heal for you.
Remember to choose.. stay and fight or flight and kite.
One of the biggest decisions is whether you stay or go.
The simple rule is:
Follow your primary target, peeling as you go.
Born to peel
Mages are excellent for mobile peeling… look at what we have at our disposal.
Applying the peel:
- 1 -3 frost novas (Frost mages take this to 3 with their pet and Cone of Cold (CoC) and can double this with a Cold Snap).
- CoC/Frostbolt snare
- Deep Freeze
- Polymorph
- Ring of Frost
- Dragon's Breath (Fire FTW!)
- Blast Wave (Fire FTW!)
Removing the peel:
- Trinket
- Blink
- Blazing Speed (if spec'd that way)
- Escape Artist (what, you aren't a Gnome? Shame…)
Depending on how much support an efc has, we can apply all of that to them, or share it out to peel them like a ripe mandarin, leaving only the soft fleshy bits for you to consume.
Likewise, you can shadow your flag carrier all the way back to base, escaping the peels applied to you and always being in a position to peel off your flag carrier.
Polymorph as a peel
You may be in the habit of applying a polymorph and leaving it till it's duration.
When you are using polymorph to peel, duration is less important and with diminishing returns it will become short lived anyway.
You are better off rapidly casting it on multiple targets.. peel one… your primary target gets a bit further away, cast in on another – now peels a second opponent and your primary target gets a bit further away. Rinse and Repeat. You are also allowing the diminishing return to count down on the 1st target.
Use it to interrupt casts.. just use it in new and inventive and preferably peeling ways. Use it anyway you want, as long as it's smart.
The final peel.
There is one more peel of note, although to be honest I don't think I have heard anyone refer to this as a peel… it is ultimately the same concept.
I consider this to be the equivalent of peel definition 6…
I bet you thought I left that one there because I was being silly…
Let's assume you have peeled all the efc's support, it's just you and them.
In my mind, the odds are still way too balanced, so you need to tip them to your advantage.
Where previously the efc's outer skin was their support crew, now it's their buffs.
If you can (dispel, purge, spellsteal etc.), peel the final layer from your opponent before bursting them down.
If you are a Mage, you have the added bonus of not just peeling layers of buffs from your opponent, but adding them to you… and let's face it, every Mage loves a set of wings and a blessing of freedom to go with it… go on, stun me now you mongrel!
Where's my peeler?
We all have them, you probably know what they are already.
Next post I will cover some of them, although with a slightly different focus, the reality is they are all peels, it's just how and when you use them
Gnomer and Out!

Wolcott boys wake up in time to down Woodland, 49-34
WOLCOTT — Not even three minutes into Wednesday's crucial, early season Naugatuck Valley League Brass Division matchup between Wolcott and Woodland, Eagles coach Matt Craig needed a timeout.
"Can we please wake up?" Craig implored his team, already down 5-0 on a pair of Tanner Kingsley buckets.
Like an 8-year-old on Christmas morning, the Eagles jolted from their slumber and showcased a phenomenal defensive effort en route to a 49-34 victory and control of the NVL Brass Division.
Wolcott (5-1, 5-0 Brass) held Woodland (5-2, 5-1) to just 27 percent shooting, including an even-better 18 percent in the second half. The Eagles forced 20 turnovers and limited the Hawks to 3-of-13 from 3-point range.
"We knew they weren't big so we guarded the perimeter the whole game," said Wolcott swingman Mike Bozzuto, who also scored a game-high 23 points. "We played a 1-3-1 zone to guard the perimeter and the wings. It worked."
Wolcott took control of the game with a 13-0 run after Craig refocused his team during a 30-second timeout early in the first. Bozzuto scored seven of those points, including one of his three 3-pointers, to give the Eagles a lead they never relinquished.
The Hawks got as close as 23-21 at halftime after
See WOLCOTT, Page 5C
finishing the second period on a 12-5 run. But they sank only five field goals after the break, seeing shot after shot clang off the iron.
"There are going to be certain nights that the ball isn't going to go in the hoop," Woodland coach Tom Hunt said. "We worked hard to get good looks but there are nights when it just won't go in. They didn't get our best game tonight."
Nearly every time the Hawks entered the paint, 6-foot-2 forward Matt Cyr stood waiting with his right arm ready to swat. He rejected nine shots, including three on a single possession in the second quarter.
"Coach (Craig) always tells us that (the paint) is our house and we have to protect it," said Cyr, who also ripped down 19 rebounds. "When me, Mike (Bozzuto) and Nick (Japs) are down there, it's tough to get points against us."
Bozzuto said Cyr's presence under the basket allows the Eagles to be more aggressive elsewhere.
"We feel so confident because nobody's scoring in the middle," Bozzuto said. "He blocks everybody."
The only time Craig was frustrated with Cyr's effort is when he decided to pass off the low block instead of turn toward the basket. It was about his only mistake of the evening.
"He's been outstanding," Craig said. "He leads by example. He works his tail off every day and really sets the tone. I'd love to see him score more but if he keeps putting on a defensive show like he did tonight, that's the best."
Wolcott took a 38-31 lead into the fourth quarter and put away the game by starting the frame on a 10-0 run, emphatically finished by a Bozzuto dunk. The Hawks' only field goal of the period came on a Nick Brown jumper with 3 seconds remaining.
"In the fourth quarter we made a statement," Craig said. "We stress defense every day and it really showed tonight."
The Eagles will finish their first of two runs through the Brass Division on Friday at Seymour. They'll enter the second cycle in an unfamiliar spot: on top.
"This isn't a position we've been in before," Craig said. "These Brass games are so important. We knew this game was so important because we have to play at Woodland (on Feb. 15). To win at home is so important."

" Tonight Wolcott play a good game but do I think they can beat Woodland? No I don't think so. Any team that shoots 27 percent from the floor with 20 turnovers is going to lose the game wether it's the NVL NCAA or the NBA. Woodland had a bad game but I'm sure Coach Hunt will have a answer for that on Feb 15 but tonight Wolcott got the win they played hard an came away the victor.... "

The season is still early an the teams have to play again an I'm sure Coach Hunt will have a better game plan going into the Feb.15 game an I'm sure Woodland will not shoot 27 percent or have 20 turnovers.in the same note Wolcott played hard an earned the win. They played hard defense an just worked harder tonight than the hawks.. Can't wait for the rematch... "

Zealot's Oath will not cause Energy Shield to regenerate when using Life Flasks. Flasks recover life rather than regenerating it. Regeneration and Recovery are treated entirely separately despite having similar effects
As a nail in the coffin here's a quote from Mark_GGG, one of the developers:
The flask "recovery" is not quiet the same as life regeneration. I just tested it.
The flask will increase your life-regeneration for X seconds:
However... this will not work with Zealot. Zealot will NOT work with flasks and restore your energy shield, even if your ES-Recovery is triggered. I just tested this too. Your flask will heal your life and not your ES. Even if you trigger a flask during your normal ES-regeneration this will have effect at all to your ES-regeneration/s. The flask still regenerates your life.
Your normal life regeneration will be converted to a constant ES regen with Zealot:

(CNN) -- Mitt Romney responded to recent Democratic-led attacks on his personal finances, suggesting Wednesday he had no intention of meeting their demand to release tax documents dating back prior to 2010.
"The Democrats are always going to be critics. We have released all of the financial statements required by law and two years of tax returns," Romney said on Fox Business Network.
Over the last week, President Barack Obama's campaign and national Democrats have been blasting Romney over reports that the candidate holds offshore investments in places considered to be tax havens for Americans--Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and Switzerland.
On Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden launched one of the campaign's harshest lines of attack yet, calling on Romney to "show your papers" during a speech in Las Vegas.
Romney's campaign has been pointing to the fact that it released the candidate's tax returns for 2010 and an estimate for 2011, as well as further financial disclosure documents required by federal election law.
Romney, whose worth is valued up to $256 million, said Wednesday he'll put out his most recent year of tax returns "as soon as that's prepared."
"Tax information is there, other financial disclosure is there; the same level of information that John McCain and John Kerry for that matter released when they were running for president," Romney said.
Also in the interview, Romney responded to those who say he's not tough enough in fending off attacks on the campaign trail.
"I respond to the attacks that come, but they say in politics if you are responding, you are losing," he said. "I think the better course for our campaign is to respond to the attacks as being completely off base."
And as speculation swirls over when Romney will announce his running mate pick, the candidate declined Wednesday to give any hint into the decision-making process.
"I can't tell you anything about the VP process. If I did, I would have to come after you with my 'Men in Black' flashlight and erase your memory," Romney said referring to the popular movie.

Now that hockey season is safely over, we can talk about hockey without drawing the ire and attention - and resultant bad luck - of the hockey gods to That Team We're Still Not Naming. (You can never be too careful.)
Despite the weather - Press Room Eric says hockey shouldn't be played when it's warm out, but I haven't heard that Blackhawks fan complain about it recently - the Little Professor and I are enjoying all the off-season hockey news. After half the season was lost to the lockout, even the out-and-out ridiculous speculation about contracts and free agency is a relief. It's just nice to be talking about hockey again.
It's good to see how many of the Little Professor's favorite players will be coming back next year, since watching hockey is much more entertaining when we're watching it as a family. (I have to nix the whiskey and cursing, at least until the children go to bed.) I learned my lesson on quickly breaking trade news to him after the "Spotting-Max-Talbot-in-Flyers-Orange" fiasco several years ago.
Apparently That Team We's Still Not Naming is welcoming back That Guy Who Calls Himself the Piece and Also Won a Stanley Cup Last Year. He's a fan favorite? Since we started watching during the Vancouver Olympics, we didn't have a chance to see him on his last go-around, but we're optimistic.
The hockey gods know TTWSNN could use someone to clear the crease. Even the Long Suffering Husband, who only suffers hockey for our sake, is bemused by the fact that opposing teams regularly camp out and even erect lemonade stands in front of the goalie.
The Little Professor and I also bid a fond farewell to Matt Cooke. We enjoyed his shenanigans when he wasn't injuring people. Watching people go absolutely frothing-at-the mouth insane over Cooke, only to be summarily shut up with a short-handed goal was entertaining, although I couldn't share many of those rabid comments with the Professor without heavy editing.
We're already looking forward to the next hockey season. We might even make our way up to Pittsburgh and take in another game. The last one was a disappointment - when I saw TTWSNN was playing the woeful Islanders on the Professor's birthday, I thought it was a sure-fire win.
He had a great time pre-game, posing in front of Mario's statue and shopping in the team store and eating stadium food.
Then the game started, and the Islanders - the woeful, woeful Islanders - started scoring. And they just didn't stop.
"Do they know they're playing the Islanders?" a mystified Professor asked.
(I'm still not 100 percent convinced that it wasn't another team wearing the Islanders' uniforms, perhaps those villainous Flyers.)
We didn't make it to a game in the shortened season, but maybe we'll give it another whirl this upcoming season.
As long as they're not playing the Islanders.

If my code contains a known defect which should be fixed, but isn't yet, and won't be fixed for the current release, and might not be fixed in the forseeable future, should there be a failing unit test for that bug in the test suite? If I add the unit test, it will (obviously) fail, and getting used to having failing tests seems like a bad idea. On the other hand, if it is a known defect, and there is a known failing case, it seems odd to keep it out of the test suite, as it should at some point be fixed, and the test is already available.

The answer is yes, you should write them and you should run them.
Your testing framework needs a category of "known failing tests" and you should mark these tests as falling into that category. How you do that depends on the framework.
Curiously, a failing test that suddenly passes can be just as interesting as a passing test that unexpectedly fails.
I think you should have an unit test with the current behaviour and in the comments, add the right test and right behaviour. Example:
This way, when the fix is available, the build will fail, noticing you the failed test. When you'll look at the test, you will know that you changed the behaviour and the test must be updated.
If the bug is fresh in your mind and you have the time to write the unit test now, then I would write it now and flag it as a known failure so it doesn't fail the build itself. Your bug tracker should be updated to reflect that there is a unit test that is currently failing for this bug so that the person assigned to eventually fix it doesn't write it all over again. This supposes that the buggy code doesn't need a lot of refactoring and that the API changes significantly -- if that's the case then you might be better off not writing the unit test until you have a better idea of how the test should be written.
Depending on the test tool you may use an
Example in ruby:
The output of my example is:
So my answer: Yes, implement the test. But don't confuse a tester with errors, where you know it will fail.
The answer is NO IMHO. You should not add a unit test for the bug until you start working on the fix for the bug and than you will write the test(s) that proves the bug and when that test(s) is failing in accordance to the bug report(s) you will go and correct the actual code to make the test(s) pass and the bug will be solved and it will be covered after that.
In my world we would have a manual test case that the QEs have failing until the bug gets fixed. And us as developers would be aware of it via the manual failing TC and via the bug tracker.
The reason for not adding failing UTs is simple. UTs are for direct feedback and validation of what I as a developer are currently working. And UTs are used in the CI system to make sure I didn't break something unintentionally in some other area of code for that module. Having UTs failing intentionally for a know bug IMHO would be counter productive and just plain wrong.
I suppose the answer really is, it depends. Be pragmatic about it. What does writing it now gain you? Maybe it is fresh in your mind?
When fixing the bug, it makes perfect sense to prove it exists by writing a unit test that exposes the bug. You then fix the bug, and the unit test should pass.
Do you have time to write the failing unit test just now? Are there more pressing features or bug that need to be written/fixed.
Assuming you have competent bug tracking software with the bug logged in it, there is really no need to write the failing unit test right now.
Arguably you might introduce some confusion if you introduce a failing unit test before a release that is happening without the bug fix.
I usually feel uneasy about having known failures in test suites, because it's too easy for the list to grow over time, or for unrelated failures in the same tests to be dismissed as "expected". The same things goes for intermittent failures - there could be something evil lurking the code. I'd vote for writing the test for the code as it is now, and as it should be once it's fixed but commented out or disabled somehow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, April 16, 2013:
This year you can swing from being too rigid or restrained to suddenly becoming a "wild thing." Others often might react strangely, as your behavior could catch them off-guard -- they never know what to expect! If you are single, your moodiness sometimes works against you. Some people can't tolerate your swift emotional changes, but trust that the right person will. You could meet someone significant after July 1, 2013. If you are attached, be kind to your sweetie, as he or she might need some indulgence. CANCER loves to be by the water.

John Conlin: End the Education Plantation
The federal government uses money to push states around all the time, so why not use it for something good for kids? That's the idea behind a new advocacy group that wants a new federal law requiring any state that accepts any federal education dollars to change the method they use to fund K-12 education. John Conlin with End the Education Plantation joins the podcast to talk about his group's radical idea for having every education dollar follow each child into his or her chosen classroom.

"older woman"
I have 5 BIG dogs, and they all love the taste of Yummy Chummies, but I haven" noticed any difference in their coat, skin (they all still scratch a lot) or hips (joints). Maybe it just takes longer on big dogs. I will continue getting it for a while longer.
"Doggies love it!"
I've been using a different brand of salmon oil for my dogs which required 2 pumps. Yummy Chummies Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil only requires one pump for my Havanese dogs who weigh under 25 pounds. They love the taste. They already have been enjoying Yummy Chummies treats for years. Great product at a reasonable price.
"I give it 5 stars; one dog gives 1 star..."
I give this to my dogs to maintain their health, skin and coat, though they don't need it. It helps my 10yr old boy with healing his ACL injury along with Cosequin, joint stress and vit C. He hates the taste but tolerates it. My Huskie girl loves it. My cats can't stand it. I guess it's hit or miss.
"They loved it"
I put this on my cats and dogs food. They seem to love it, and it's affordable. Great for their skin!
"Not what I was expecting "
This product did nothing for my dogs. I used it for 3 months and saw no improvement with their coats. Very disappointed after reading all the high reviews.
"Affordable, healthy appetite stimulant"
I have a very finicky eater, and was getting concerned about him skipping meals. This is affordable, good for him, and makes him want to eat. What more could I ask for?
"Customer for life!"
My dog was having issues with dry skin and itching so, after reading the reviews I decided to give it a try. It works GREAT! No more itching, VERY shiny coat, and VERY LITTLE shedding! I LOVE IT and so does my dog! I highly recommend it for your dog!
"Good stuff!"
My dog, Rusty, loves this stuff so much he will take it right off of a spoon! He loves it on his Merrick Classic Real Lamb with Brown Rice & Apple Dry Dog Food! Actually he has very little interest in his food without the oil! I wish Jeffers sold this by the gallon cuz I don't want to run out! Rusty has only been on this oil for a couple of days so, I haven't noticed a difference in his coat just yet, but I'm sure I will! This stuff is awesome, Rusty loves it, and the best part is, it's GOOD for him!
"Amazing Product"
In a conversation with a friend one day, I was telling him how one of my girlfriend's dogs was on a fish oil pill for his coat. I stated that she had taken him to the vet and he had been dipped into the awful egg-smelling dip and needed fish oil for his skin and coat. My friend told me about this Yummy Chummies product. He told me about his personal experience and the reviews with this product. I am a skeptical person, but I took a chance on it. I figured that I couldn't lose a lot since the product was at a reasonable price. It worked wonders for this dog. He loves this stuff on his food and the other dog jumps around wanting some because she thinks it is a treat. She eats her food now. I was so amazed at the results of the dogs liking it, I decided to buy another small bottle to see if my mom's dog would like it. He is an outside dog and had just been scratching himself raw. He had bald spots and was just miserable. I gave it to my mom and told her how to use it. When I went to her house that weekend, I could not believe how great her dog looked. He was very active and had very few bald spots. She said he loved it and that she had to give some to the other dog as well and he loves it too. I should mention that these four dogs are different breeds. Two are daschunds and the other two are lab and lab and bulldog mixed. I just bought the bigger bottle for the bigger boys. This product really does work.
"I was a tad suspicious when I read some of the reviews....I am a true believer now! this product has given amazing results for my 8 year old Long haired German Shep. He was absolutley miserable with skin allergies, causing itching, dry skin, odor, chewing on his legs/feet, etc. I was very weary about buying this product, but I read the reviews and talked to my vet and then thought ""what do I have to loose?"" so I started feeding my dog with this additive on his food. I am not kidding, mearly weeks later, he is happy again, his fur is growing back from where he chewed it off, his skin, his hair is soft. Even his ears, which had become very dry (and a source for scratching) have returned to supple/soft - not dry. He is playful again and I love this product! He loves his food even more too! I guess the taste is appealing to him... I have ordered a second bottle and will keep my huge 100 lb dog on this product as long as he feels better, like he does now. THANK YOU!! my dog thanks you!"
"Soft, glossy fur"
I feed my two GSDs a dry kibble that they would not eat unless I added something to it, like cooked chicken giblets. Well, anyone who has ever cooked them knows they stink, so hubby looked for something else to put in the kibble. Got a case of this salmon oil online. My dogs absolutely LOVED it from the very first. I feed them 1 1/2 cups kibble each in the morning and at night. Three squirts from the pump bottle in the bowl...I mix up with their food and then divide between them. My black GSD always had soft, shiny fur, but it's gotten even prettier. My black/tan's fur was coarse and not as shiny as her sister's, but after a month of this salmon oil, even her fur is softer and glossier. I don't know if the oil has improved their happiness because they've always been active, happy girls anyway, but I do love what it's done for their coats.
"A Must Have For Breeders"
I was able to get this amazing product on sale, buy 1 get one free, and I ordered 6. My family breeds, and raises Pomeranians. Everyday I add this to their food, they didn't like it at first, but now they won't eat it without it. Salmon oil really brings out their coats, eyes, and even helps their pups. This is a MUST have for all breeders, and owners looking to provide the best care for their pets. One other plus is that it NEVER really runs out even with multiple dogs, one container lasts, and lasts!
"Incredible Results"
A few years ago, I was adopted by a beagle that had been running around the neighborhood. He was cute enough but obviously not well kept. He smelled something awful and was surrounded by flying nuisance insects. His hair coat was dry and he had a strip down his back that was nearly bald. His skin was dry and scaly/flaky. He seemed generally miserable but fairly amiable and I tolerated him at first. After about a week of him waiting on me when I got home and no one looking for him, I decided to bite the bullet and buy the things he needed... food, shampoo, and something for his coat was a bare minimum. - I bought a very large bag of dry food and a 16 oz bottle of what was then called Omega Maintenance Wild Alaska Salmon Oil. I added about a spoonful or so to his food once in the morning and once in the evening and not only did he obviously enjoy the food better but in less than a week I could tell a huge difference in his coat and skin. It was well worth the money and we were both happier for it.
"Great Product, My Bully Loved It!"
My Bull Terrier has really bad allergies and patches of red skin where he's bitten all his fur off, mainly on his back legs and tail. I purchased this hoping it would help improve his coat. While it hasn't been a cure all in itself (we needed to switch his food to a different brand also and it's going to take time to get all his fur back) it has definitely helped make his coat soft and glossy and has slowed his itching. He LOVES the taste of it. Now he just looks at his kibble with a wishful look until I mix it in! He got smart about picking out the kibbles with the oil on them, so we mix up the oil and kibble with a spoon so it gets on all of them. Great product, no nasty fishy smell. It actually smells like a fresh salmon fillet like you would get at the grocery store. All in all a great product and worth the money!

TO: The Bennington College Community FROM: Alan Kornberg '74, Chair of the Board of Trustees
The Presidential Search Committee and representatives from our search consultants, Phillips Oppenheim, met with more than 200 students, faculty, and staff during a two-day visit to campus in late October. This month and next, we are conducting nine focus group sessions with alumni and parents in five cities across the U.S.—New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington, DC. Based on the feedback collected to date in these conversations and the several dozen online submissions we have received, the Committee has posted a position description for Bennington's next president.
