6 Real Serial Killers More Terrifying Than Any Horror Movie
Movies and TV shows like Dexter are constantly trying to outdo themselves with over-the-top serial killers (a Hannibal episode featured a killer who turned his victims into musical instruments -- no, really). But real killers are just boring assholes with crippling mental illnesses and no scary gimmicks. Right?
Yeah, no. As we've mentioned a few times before, the real world occasionally gives rise to murderers so terrifyingly crazy that if we saw them in a horror film, we would instantly write them off as utterly ridiculous B-movie cheese. The following people and their bone-chilling exploits are totally real, and at least three-quarters of them are totally still alive.
#6. Katherine Knight Cooked Her Husband and Tried to Feed Him to His Children

Katherine Knight had a well-documented history of clownfuck lunacy, beginning when she tried to strangle her first husband to death on their wedding night for daring to only have sex with her three times before falling asleep. When he finally left her, Knight took their infant daughter and dropped her on a stretch of nearby train tracks (the baby was rescued by a hobo), then rampaged through town threatening random strangers with an ax.
She later went on another rampage, slashing a woman's face and forcing her to drive to a service station, where Knight took a little boy hostage until the police arrived and beat her into submission with brooms, because law enforcement in Australia is apparently hilarious. None of this is the crazy part of her story. WARNING: READ AT YOUR DISCRETION -- HERE IS WHERE THIS ARTICLE TAKES A DETOUR STRAIGHT INTO HELL.

No worries, mate!
Knight eventually met a father of three named John Price and they moved in together, despite the fact that Price was well aware of her explosive fits of inexplicable slobbering Looney Tunes rage. Price wound up kicking her out and filed a restraining order against her, telling his co-workers that if he ever failed to show up for work, she had probably killed him. He then gallantly allowed Knight back into his house for sex and fell asleep beside her, which suggests that Price perhaps didn't completely understand how restraining orders are supposed to work. Knight underscored this error by stabbing Price 37 times. When Price didn't show up for work the next day, his co-workers called the police, who showed up at Price's house to discover his skinned, headless body lying on the living room floor.
Knight had draped his skin, completely intact in a single piece, over an S hook in a doorway like a vanity curtain in Leatherface's house. Price's head was boiling in a pot on the stove, and pieces of his butt had been pan-fried with vegetables and gravy and plated up on the table in two place settings with name tags indicating that they were meant for Price's adult children (although the kids weren't expected, so she probably should have covered the plates with tinfoil).

Knight pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole -- her file literally bears the words "NEVER TO BE RELEASED," like a fucking supervillain in a subterranean vault.
#5. Russell Williams Burgled Women's Underwear and Videotaped His Murders

Russell Williams, a decorated colonel in the Canadian armed forces, liked to break into the homes of friends and neighbors with underage daughters and then photograph himself wearing the girls' underwear and masturbating all over their rooms like a laboratory monkey trying to get the most out of his jailbreak spree before all the PCP injections catch up to him and melt his brain.
And this could have all been prevented if the military would just issue Dora the Explorer-print panties.
He even creepily typed a message on one 12-year-old girl's computer, thanking her for the evening of boner-flogging her bedroom had provided for him.
Gerri Weatherbee/Northumberland Today via CBC
You don't get medals by being rude.
All told, Williams committed over 80 underwear burglaries, frequently breaking in while the unaware owners were at home (he once sprinted naked into a woman's house to ransack her unmentionables drawer while she was in the shower), and he kept a meticulously organized library of thousands of photographs like these hidden in the basement of his house:
Sydney Morning Herald
These were found filed under "C" for "Christ, Jesus Tittyfucking."
That was when Williams decided to open up the throttle on his crazy and graduate to full-blown kidnapping and murder. He broke into the houses of two different women, tying them up and forcing them to pose for more photographs for his collection. Then Williams broke into the house of a corporal he recognized from work, beat her into submission with a flashlight, and brutally murdered her, videotaping every horrific moment of his crime and taking enough photographs to fill an album. He also stole huge amounts of her clothing and underwear, because, as we've established, underwear was his maniac catnip.
Finally, Williams kidnapped a woman and took her out to a cottage he owned, where he terrorized her for an entire day before ultimately killing her with the same flashlight, because apparently he believed "flashlight" meant "bludgeon that occasionally helps you see in the dark." He recorded four hours of video of the crime and collected several more photographs and articles of stolen clothing, strengthening his bid for the title of "Scariest Canadian in History" (although he's facing stout competition in this very article).
Julie Oliver/Postmedia News via National Post
No word on a Maglite endorsement deal yet.
Luckily, a witness had spotted Williams' Pathfinder outside of his last victim's house just before she disappeared, and police were able to arrest him after matching his tire and boot prints to those found at the scene of her abduction. He confessed to the murders and was sentenced to life in prison, where he recently tried to kill himself by swallowing a toilet paper roll. The Canadian Forces stripped Williams of his rank and ceremonially burned his uniform and every medal he'd earned over 23 years of service, because fuck that guy.
#4. A Millionaire Pig Farmer Killed People and Fed Them to His Pigs
Maclean's/Jupiterimages/BananaStock/Getty Images
Robert Pickton, a millionaire pig farmer in British Columbia, murdered anywhere between six and 50 prostitutes from the Vancouver area, cut up their bodies, and fed them to his pigs ... and once again, that statement is actually the least insane part of his story.
AP via The Guardian
Pickton, seen here sporting the standard issue "hatchet face" provided by the serial killer union.
Pickton would cruise around the seediest areas of Vancouver, luring hookers back to his sprawling pig farm (any invitation that includes the phrase "Come back to my pig farm, where I butcher pigs" should be immediately refused) with the promise of money and drugs, where he brutally murdered them and dismembered their bodies for creative disposal.
Pickton didn't just feed the bodies to his pigs, though. He kept the head, hands, and feet of some of his victims bundled up in refrigerators around the farm. He mulched some of his victims in a wood chipper. And investigators are almost 100 percent certain that he lumped human remains together with unusable pig parts (like intestines, blood, and bones) and took them all up to a rendering plant in Vancouver to be processed into things like lipstick, shampoo, and soap, which reveals two horrible truths about the cosmetics industry.
The point is, Pickton didn't believe in simply disposing of bodies -- he liked to spread his evil around like a murderous Johnny Appleseed.
Ian Lindsay/CanWest News Service via National Post
Lacking a proper saucepan, Pickton settled for wearing a colander on his head.
Meanwhile, the Vancouver police department simply didn't give a shit about the disappearing women. They reasoned that all the women were drug addicts and had either wandered off to other cities or died anonymously of overdoses. They literally fired an investigator for having the gall to suggest that a serial killer might be responsible. One of Pickton's victims actually managed to escape the pig farm, bleeding from multiple stab wounds, and prosecutors dismissed the subsequent attempted murder charges against him because the most important descriptor of Robert Pickton at this time was "millionaire."
Pickton was eventually brought to justice when an employee came forward with damning testimony that led to a full-scale investigation, and he received a life sentence. Meanwhile, Canadian officials did their part to calm a community repulsed by both the killings and the notion that they might have consumed pork fattened on human remains by assuring them that pork is "typically well-cooked," thereby eliminating the chance of catching any diseases from the murdered prostitutes and confirming that authority figures in British Columbia are terrible at crisis counseling.

Videogame Champ, Past His Prime At 28, Grooms Next Screen Jocks
Mr. Sättermon's Teenage Charges 'Train' 12 Hours a Day; Winning Over the Parents
LONDON—At the ripe old age of 28, Patrik Sättermon considers himself over the hill as a professional videogame player.
"For some games you have to be super fast, and at 24 or 25 you're past it, you're a veteran," says Mr. Sättermon, a former world champion in the game Counter Strike. "You don't realize your reflexes start to disappear, but you see it on the scoreboard."
So Mr. Sättermon—a Swede who is the Chief Gaming Officer at Fnatic, one of the world's top pro gaming teams—is out to groom the next generation of screen jocks.
At the Fnatic Academy he runs in London, he accepts just six teens a year. Eventually, he hopes they will become not just professional players, but stars.
"The peak age for a gamer will be 18 or 19," says Mr. Sättermon. "That's when you have the right balance between reflexes, the ability to understand the game and also enough maturity."
The performance world has always been on the hunt for prodigies, from musicians to top athletes in sports like tennis and soccer. The videogamer's quest for excellence involves something many parents try to shield their kids from—obsessive game play.
The teen recruits must eventually leave their families to live with their teams, spending 12 hours a day in training and up to 250 days competing and traveling away from home. The pro gaming teams pay for players' travel, gear and accommodation, as well as a base salary and performance related bonuses. In return, the team takes a cut of winnings. Top players can ultimately take home $18,000 a month or more.
A chunk of Mr. Sättermon's week is spent trawling the Internet to unearth the next star. He starts by looking at player rankings. If someone is doing well, he can then tune into their next game on the Internet, check out their favorite character and their kill rate—the data is all there.
His latest gem, who he says is already making "a ton of money," is a 17-year-old named Martin Larsson, who competes under the gaming alias "Rekkles." Mr. Sättermon found the Swedish Mr. Larsson online last year and signed him up straight away.
"Normally we ask players to prove themselves offline because when you see someone online, he's sitting at home, relaxing, playing, and they can panic when they get to live events and not be as good," says Mr. Sättermon. "We took a gamble with Martin, but he's taken us back to the very top."
The London academy's kids are scattered around the world, from Texas to Denmark. At the start they live at home, and they move to gaming houses when they turn pro. Mr. Larsson is now living in one in Cologne, Germany, with six teammates. Blond and thin, he admits he quickly lost motivation for education when he began to play around the clock.
"In the beginning my parents reacted really negatively," says Mr. Larsson, whose sculpted hair looks as deliberately groomed as Justin Bieber's. "They always told me school is first."
Mr. Larsson is getting a much different kind of education now. Around 90% of his time awake is spent in front of a computer—much of it immersed in a parallel universe with huge noise-canceling headphones fixed on his ears. When he is "in game," it is all but impossible to get through to him, he says.
"It's kind of a working schedule," Mr. Larsson explains. "[But] when you earn as much money as I do, you're going to understand that it's not a waste of time."
Schooling is organized on a case-by-case basis. Younger gamers manage to fit their training around classes, at least initially. Many of the academy kids drop out of school at 16 to concentrate on work—in this case, gaming—as the law allows. While only a few hours per day are time tabled, or counted as work, many teens practice into the wee hours, says Mr. Sättermon.
At first, Mr. Larsson's parents were skeptical and tried to limit the amount of time their son spent playing videogames.
"When he came home from school he had to do his homework before he played," says his mother, Carina Larsson
The turning point for the family came when a team paid Mr. Larsson to fly to a tournament in New York in the summer of 2012. "That is when we realized he was someone in this computer game world—then we just had to get interested in it," says his mother.
With the promise of a jet-setting lifestyle, groupies and prizes worth thousands of dollars, the allure of professional gaming is obvious. Mr. Larsson has 29,433 "likes" on Facebook but doesn't let the attention go to his head. "In the beginning of your career you try to focus more on your game than girls," he says.
While parties are a natural part of the game gig, many of the celebrants, like Mr. Larsson, aren't allowed in because they are underage. Some fans, who swoop in to take pictures of the players, can make odd requests. One woman asked Mr. Larsson to sign her chest. "It was very awkward," says Mr. Larsson.
Videogaming lacks the physical demands of other sports—there is no running or lifting weights—and kids can put in investment-banker style hours to achieve their goal.
"You're young and you have the passion, so these guys are the most likely to put in 80 hours a week," says Mr. Sättermon.
A coach gives them a tailored training program and keeps in daily contact, usually via Skype or instant messenger. Mr. Sättermon says many players are "very cocky" and don't think that they need the coaching. But that is changing.
Pro gamers can issue up to 400 commands per minute and finish games physically exhausted. "The body types of pro gamers are changing, it's all fit people," he says. "You need to be alert and concentrate for extended hours, and the players are very competitive, they care about their looks."
The best two in 10 players who join make the step up to one of Fnatic's gaming houses, where they live with other professional players and a manager. In the gaming houses everything is set out for the players to succeed: "Kids like to sleep late and wake up late, so it's the managers' responsibility to get them up in the morning, organize the games, feed them," says Mr. Sättermon.
Some experts caution that the jury is out on the long-term impact of so much game playing: "It's an experiment of nature taking place in front of our eyes," says Daphne Bavelier, a neuroscientist who studies how the brain adapts to changes in experience. "The issue is getting yourself lost in a different world: you don't interact face to face with anyone else, you lose appetite. That happens all the time."
But, she says, "it's probably no worse than American football."

Profiles in Scholarship
Jane M. Spinak
The Advocate
From her days as a teacher in New England to her position at the forefront of child advocacy, Professor Jane Spinak has kept her sights set on helping kids
Professor Jane M. Spinak, director of Columbia Law School's Child Advocacy Clinic, believes in learning by doing. She built a career by getting out of her small-town comfort zone and diving into the trenches, and she expects her students to take a similar approach. When they do, Spinak says with a smile, the results speak
for themselves.
Last year, a team of students in her clinic crafted a thought-provoking letter to the commissioner of New York City's Administration for Children's Services (ACS) recommending changes they knew could improve the lives of foster children approaching the age when they would no longer be eligible for government-sponsored services. The students' conviction stemmed from their firsthand experiences representing these adolescents, learning about their lives, and listening to their stories of struggle.
"In the clinic, we spend a lot of time thinking about who these youths are and what communities they come from," says Spinak, who has taught at the Law School
for 27 years. "What are their cultural experiences? What are their life experiences?
For many students, it's an introduction to a world they're not familiar with—as it was for me."
Before coming to New York for law school in 1976, Spinak had little knowledge of the poor, abused, neglected, undereducated, and underserved children who have now become the focal point of her life's work. "I grew up in a small town," she recalls. "I went to school in a small town. I taught high school in a small town."
As she learned more about the issues surrounding children's rights, Spinak realized "this was a population that needed advocacy." She briefly contemplated education
law, but a clerkship with the general counsel of the New York City Board of Education quickly cured her of that. "It didn't seem very connected to working with young people," notes Spinak, a petite woman with brown eyes and layers of ginger locks.
"It made me realize I didn't want to represent an institution. I'm an advocate
for individuals."
Spinak has maintained that focus ever since. The girl from the foothills of the Adirondacks has been a consummate New Yorker for the past 33 years, and big-city life has won her over. It has also allowed her to enjoy a remarkable career doing what she loves: protecting the rights of children and families.
Almost three decades after she agreed to run the Child Advocacy Clinic at the Law School, Spinak has helped change public policy, formed innovative advocacy organizations, and inspired students to make public interest law a part of their future careers. It's a track record embodied by the student team that wrote the letter to ACS last year: They negotiated important, individual results for clients, but their efforts in the clinic also stand to promote systemic change. The letter caught the attention of several decision-makers at ACS, who suggested a meeting this fall between the organization and members of Spinak's clinic. The meeting could be the first step in improving the lives of countless youths across the city—and that possibility fills the passionate professor with pride.
"What actually stays with you more is not the results of any individual case, but that as a program, we've been able to shape the way children and adults in the child welfare system are represented," Spinak says. "I think, as a program, we've really had that impact."

What's the best job you've ever had?
this past weekend I got to reminisce with a medic I used to work with on a private ambulance service in southern Illinois. we talked quite a bit about what we've done since then.
his path was medic->police officer->line cook->head chef
my path was E.R. tech->medic->comp sci student->software tester
looking back, being a medic was, hands down, the best job I've ever had. the people I worked with were amazing and hilarious (that dark humor not everyone appreciates). the job was full of chaos and constant challenges and for some weird reason, I just really liked starting IV's. and the stories...oh, the stories. if only the inside of an ambulance could talk. unfortunately, I had to move on because the pay was incredibly awful (I found out I made as much as an assistant manager at taco bell).
so, what's the best job you've ever had? are you still doing it? if not, why did you leave?
31 Answers answer
My best job ever was the one I didn't get paid for.
I was a volunteer youth worker at my church for a little over 13 years. I got to spend time with teenagers (I preferred high schoolers but there were some cool junior high kids along the way), play games, do a bit of teaching, go on retreats and to summer camp, play Ultimate Frisbee (there were a couple of guys who literally ran circles around me, but we had fun), visit nursing homes, drive 15 passenger vans, have counseling sessions over milkshakes and french fries, cheer high school athletes and almost always have a bunch of fun. Some of "my kids" who are now all grown up (and married...with multiple kids sometimes) have become some of my best friends. Best job ever, even though I never got paid in another other than leftover pizza and the occasional "thank you gift card".
I would still be doing it if I was able to. But there was a change in leadership and politics happened and maybe I can get back to it with the next youth guy.
The best job I ever had was as a manager and lead tech for an Exxon service station. I worked there for 4 years until I was in a car accident. While I was in the hospital recuperating, the owner sold the shop back to Exxon instead of renewing the lease as was discussed. His reason was my injuries had kept me in the hospital on and off for 3 months and the shop had lost over half of its profit. Since then, I have worked in a lot of jobs I have liked. I have been a pipe fitter, service manager for truck mechanics, service coordinator for forklift techs, and now I am a safety and environmental coordinator for a wood treating plant. I plan to be a park host once I leave this job and travel around the US.
Assistant manager at Taco Bell was the greatest job I ever had, until I found out I was making as much as a medic.
Assistant manager at Domino's.
Had the best crew, was always steady which helped time pass, plus we all had a good time working. Pay wasn't the greatest, but we had other ways of making extra cash there which helped alot.
Hell, we made half of the new stuff Domino's sells now for ourselves, just never pushed it or mentioned it to marketing. Idiots we are.
If I had the money I would invest in a pizza franchise. There is money to be made there.
It's crazy, but my most favorite job ever was when I was a waitress at Waffle House. Great mix of regulars and travelers, fantastic tips, fast paced, and lots of fun. On the negative side, the uniforms were hideous. This was back when the traditional orange and yellow striped polyester tunics were still being worn, and we also had to wear these goofy triangle head pieces.
I've been self employed for a long time now and love it, but my Waffle House memories are fond ones.
Let me start off by saying that I love my grandpa and this was my aunt's and uncle's decision to pay me and not mine (I would've done it for free)
My grandpa has dementia and needed someone with him 24/7. He went to what my uncle called "Daddy Day Care" during the day. At night I got paid $10 an hour and $15 for spending the night just for spending time with my grandpa (he lived next door so I could easily walk there). After we were done playing bingo or doing puzzles, he would start obsessing over cutting up all his trash and I would have plenty of time to finish homework or watch TV. He also had an unlimited supply of bacon for some reason. Even though I often joked with my friends that I got paid to sleep and watch TV, it was a much more difficult job at times. There were times that he would dream about his talking to his wife who passed away and I had to somehow convince him that she died years ago. His dementia kept getting worse and worse and now he lives in a nursing home.
@eraten: i see what you did there. :p
My best paid job is the one I have now, which is why I have been doing it for over 27 years. I get decent pay, with good benefits, I get to work with people I like, and best of all I get to help people. I administer $1-2 million annually in social services grants, so I get to help put roofs over the heads of the homeless, shoes on the feet of kids in poor neighborhoods, meals on the tables of homebound seniors and disabled, and 80 other community service projects. The best job I haven't been paid for is being rescued by a dozen shelter dogs over the years.
Cleaning toilets at a Rock Festival when I was 16 years old.
Nasty job, but I got to see some great bands for free, and got to go back stage after I had showered LOL.
Probably working in toxicology. I killed thousands of animals and got to see so many fun abnormalities from drug interactions. Oh and I saw a rat milking machine. Wish they turned it on, but that was designed to only see if it the milk passed between dame & pup, and we didn't really see too many drugs that had that kind of possible interaction.
Used to work in a local golf shop. Salary plus commission doing something I was actually interested in. Plus we had a hitting net in the back, so I got plenty of practice whenever we had some down time. Not to mention we were "in" with all the courses locally, so we got a lot of "yeah, just come on out" when we wanted to go play.
I worked at a music store when I first graduated from high school. When I got hired, it was locally owned and operated and it was awesome. We played the music we wanted because we liked it. We got to check out new artists, say what we wanted about mainstream media and got access to local concerts for cheap.
Then they got bought out by the FYE chain. We had to start wearing uniforms, playing the music they wanted us to play and promote the music that we all hated. Everything went downhill from there.
I ended up quitting and going to the company I work for now. Sad day.
High school. Not a job during high school, but high school. Everything after that got harder...
I used to manage a gyn clinic. The small staff was excellent; cohesive, professional, talented, empathetic folks who, like me, saw the work as more of a "mission" than a mere "job." The patients were mostly age 16-35, so I got to do a lot of education, problem solving, and hand-holding. I'm a bleeding-heart, do-gooder, and much like my current job, the clinic work let me get paid for doing what I really enjoyed and felt good about. The practice got sold, though, and the new owners were seriously bottom-line oriented. It was no longer a good place for staff or patients, and I quit after several months. I still miss my coworkers, though.
@moondrake: I am totally envious of you!
My friend Patty
stunt man in a porno.....
Like many, my best job is not the most glamorous one, but it was the best time of my life.
I was a merchandise manager for a traveling band. I got to see the country, and the world. Wake up at 10 am, set up the merchandise, see the city, sell merchandise from 6 pm - 10 pm, sleep till 10 am.
And the best part, is they paid me to do it!
Unpaid content provider for deals.woot.
@j5: People seem to have misinterpreted what I meant.
Glass Blower and Hand Model. 2 Great jobs.
@moondrake and @magic cave: I am jealous of you BOTH!
My best job was also my worst. I spent twenty years as HR Director for the same organization. Bad CEOs (3), good CEO (only one), and wonderful CEO (only one) made all the difference. The best CEOs saw employees as important. The "resource" part of HR really meant what the word means to them. I had a "seat at the table," as they say. I was able to reduce grievances and turnover, improve morale, pay and benefits, and I felt as though I was REALLY making a difference. Our organization started winning awards and training others to do what we did. I got to spend time helping employees with their personal and job related problems. Amazing how you can turn around a "bad" employee if you just spend a little time and effort.
Then politics (real politics, not office politics) got in the way. We were sold down the river by someone with presidential aspirations. 300 people laid off at Christmas, but not for economic reasons. Sucks.
After giving this some thought, I will have to say "Dad". It doesn't pay worth a sh!t financially, but emotionally it is priceless.
@belyndag: Oh, geez. That sucks really big time.
I don't know, I haven't found it yet
All of my jobs to date have been OK, but none deserve to be called the best. Hopefully someday I will find it.
@riknik: I still think 'Unpaid content provider for deals.woot' is better because technically I could take tomorrow off without notice, too bad I have an addition to deals.woot and it will not happen, but the theory is sound.
@caffeine_dude: I would tend to agree. I get no Rep or black triangle as fruits for my labor.
@magic cave: I'm still grieving. Everyone thinks I should be excited to be retired, but I so miss everyone and the good years on the job. I guess that proves that it really WAS a great job!
@riknik: ►,◄, ▼ and the coveted one....
Since Woot! and the community wouldn't give you one, I will give you 4.
@belyndag: Yes, I think that's definitely a clue as to how much you liked the job and/or the people around you.
I filed (a few months early) for social security last week, and I'm contemplating retiring later this year. Or tomorrow, depending on my mood :)
I just can't quite figure out what I'd actually do with all that free time. I did an unofficial semi-retirement 10 years ago, and I lasted less than two months before giving up and taking a new job. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
@magic cave: (Pssst. I've been retired for 6 months now and have had just about all of the fun I can stand. Will start classes in February for my next career. Might have to post something about that later.)
@belyndag: Oh, please post an update!

The Southeastern Illinois College Forensic Falcons speech team watched Wednesday's presidential debates for specific lessons on public speaking strategies. Students assessed presentation styles, nonverbal communication, argumentation, and likeability of both candidates. The team, which represented a diverse group of students from across the political spectrum, took a lively approach to the debate, often cheering or commenting as significant issues were addressed.
The event provided an opportunity for students to apply their communication training to real world events. Team member Nick Mott remarked, "When you realize the impact that these conversations have, not just on the election, but on the direction of this country - it's hard not to get hooked."
Team member Nicole York agreed, stressing the need for college students and other young voters to stay informed.
"Everyone should keep up with the debates and cast an informed vote," York said.
The Forensic Falcons, SIC's nationally recognized speech and debate team, are coached by Paul Cummins and Tyler and Jennifer Billman. Team members include Bethany Oxford of Norris City, Austin Winters of Carmi, and Nicole York of Omaha.

Innistrad has a decent amount of archetypes that you can build. In draft, what tier 1 deck types exist?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Loosely speaking, I think strong Dark Ascension Limited (i.e. the official format, DKA-INN-INN) decks fit into one of three strategies corresponding to the three stages of play (which I have given these semi-descriptive labels):
Decks that don't do at least one of these -- such as a deck full of mid-sized creatures but no way to actually turn them into card advantage -- tend to be at a disadvantage. Note that there's a lot of overlap here, probably much more so than in Constructed decks. You really can't classify most cards as belonging to just one strategy. Instead, the goal here is to view the card differently, and prioritize it accordingly, based on your particular gameplan; and to adjust your gameplan and later picks based on your cards. Darkthicket Wolf is a primo aggro card and a good midrange card, for instance; your "Human Sacrifice" deck may turn into a more controlling deck if pick up a really good late-game bomb.
I've never drafted with the pros and I don't play MTGO (where you can draft til you pass out from exhaustion), so I can't speak for the subtleties of "tier 1" vs. "tier 2", but I can list what I've found effective. Names in quotes below are those that are widely used, to my knowledge; I've made the other ones up based on whatever described a deck acceptably. Colors are suggestions rather than set in stone; each archetype has good cards in some of the other colors.
These are decks that aim to win with an explosive start. Drafting them involves careful attention to your mana curve.
I think the top-tier decks in this category are:
These are decks that build up card advantage Jund-style. Dark Ascension has been good for this style of deck, with many of its premier cards having some component of built-in card advantage: Huntmaster of the Fells, Strangleroot Geist, Lingering Souls.
Some examples of good decks are:
These are decks that want to waste time until they can play something that trumps your stuff, like a big Spider Spawning or a Reaper from the Abyss. Basically my standard for determining whether a deck is "control"-y in Limited is "Will this deck ever want to cast Think Twice?" Control gains some defensive power in Dark Ascension with the addition of quality defenders like Headless Skaab and Nephalia Seakite, but it loses a lot due to pack dilution. In particular, the "Mill Yourself" decks -- like Burning Vengeance or Spiders -- are weaker in Dark Ascension because their key cards are less likely to show up now that you're drafting from 2 Innistrad boosters instead of 3.
So far, I think the most consistently draftable deck in this category is actually a rather boring one:
A previous question covered the major archetypes for Innistrad draft. Most of the information there is still relevant, as Dark Ascension hasn't dramatically altered the draft landscape for most of the core archetypes there.
However, there were two marginal strategies in ISD draft that have become significantly better with the addition of DKA, if you open the cards for them in your first pack.
Getting a dedicated mill deck in triple-ISD was chancy, but it was playable if the pieces came together. Adding DKA has made this a tier-1 strategy, so long as you get this:
Increasing Confusion by itself can mill your opponent for 15 or more after you flash it back, and it's definitely first-pickable. If you get it in your DKA pack, you should strongly consider moving into a blue control deck with the rest of your picks. Take strong defensive creatures such as Armored Skaab, Fortress Crab, and Stormbound Geist, tempo-based cards such Silent Departure, Grasp of Phantoms, and Griptide, and additional mill components like Dream Twist and Curse of the Bloody Tome. If you get an Undead Alchemist in your ISD packs, you'll do a little dance, since that zombie is unplayable in most decks, but nuts in a dedicated mill deck.
Note that even if your U/x mill+control deck doesn't come together, you can still use Increasing Confusion as an alternate wincon in any number of other decks, or even a deck that's splashing blue.
Intangible Virtue was a late pick in ISD, simply because there weren't often enough tokens to make it worthwhile. But throw in DKA with Lingering Souls, Gather the Townsfolk, and Increasing Devotion, and it becomes plausible to have a deck that uses tokens for its primary creature base. This deck obviously wants every copy of Intangible Virtue and Midnight Haunting that it can get.
Note again that all of the cards above are perfectly playable on their own, and you don't have to have a "mono-tokens" deck in order for them to work. But the existence of these extra token generators makes a token-heavy white aggro deck an especially attractive choice in DKA draft.

"My family loved these and they were quick and easy to prepare. The instant oatmeal packets are a unique twist! The only thing I did different was I left out the nuts. Would definitely make these again!"
Reviewed Jul. 19, 2012
"Used the suggested 1/2 cup pumpkin instead of one of the 1/2 cups of milk - yielded a nice flavor balance to the chopped pecans. We didn't have any instant oatmeal packets so I substituted 1 cup old fashioned oats and 1 Tbsp brown sugar for the 2 packets the recipe calls for. The batter was pretty thick with the pumpkin and old fashioned oats, but it cooked nicely in the waffle iron when spread out before closing the lid. The kitchen smelled really nice with the cinnamon cooking. Overall, a nice waffle recipe that our two year old loved."

In general does the pH effect the precipitation, e.g. would a pH of 6 cause less precipitation than pH 7.5. Or are they unrelated?
I think it would affect some proteins, but ammonium sulfate precipitation usually requires such large amounts of salt, that you would have to add a lot of base to adjust the pH.
When I have done ammonium sulfate precipitation, its to take a rough cut of proteins out of a whole cell/whole organ lysate - its more like a hammer than a pair of tweezers as far as protein purification is concerned. I would rather use a charged plastic resin or a sizing column if I were to care about the isoelectric purification.

There are lots of other brands of French presses, but Bodum is my favorite. They're built very well and will last for years. While not as convenient as a drip maker, they impart a richer flavor.
I can't tell, though, if the filter is framed in metal or plastic. The plastic will get stained and retain a burnt-in coffee smell. Also, the last time I looked for a Bodum several years ago at Target, there's a difference between the original Bodums made in Denmark and those made in China. Both have lids made of plastic, but the Chinese-made lids were not as nicely polished.
$20 is a good price for a Bodum french press, so you're getting free mugs out of the deal. I use my Bodum in the office. The container is microwave safe so I heat my water like that, add grinds, steep 4 minutes.
I do love french press coffee. Get a personal grinder and keep whole beans on hand. If you want a richer, fuller-bodied cup of coffee, give this a try.
I believe I have read that the french press transfers more of the natural oils from the coffee bean to the water. I always feel like the coffee is smoother, almost silky this way, but maybe that's just me.
@dant98: When I had more time at work, my "coffee buddy" loved it when I'd grind fresh beans for morning coffee. There's no comparison. A French press allows the grinds to sit in the water, imparting the oils and all other goodness. A non-paper filter in a drip machine is almost there (paper filters absorb oils), but that's still just water passing through the coffee.
Some believe the oils contribute to higher LDL, which I'm not sure of. Since I started using a French press several years ago, my cholesterol didn't go up or down meaningfully, so I will happily consume coffee in the best way to make it.
@dant98: I will admit to being pedantic but it's not so much that the french press allows a better transfer of the oils and acid to the water but that the drip coffee maker's paper filter doesn't absorb the oil and acid. If you use a gold filter, then you'll get the oils and acid.
BTW - this is a great deal!
Anyone ever use one of these?
Pretty much the same thing except it has a paper micro filter and is intended to make espresso rather than regular coffee. I have it and a french press and a couple drip machines. The aeropress is hands down the best tasting but it is the only one for which I have ever monitored the temperature of the water. I should do some experiments with the french press too (but I do like the lack of "mud" with the aeropress vs a regular french press). I'm definitely getting the french press out this weekend for some experimenting.
@benyust2: I love my aeropress. I use a metal filter in mine and I get great results. All of the oils but the mesh is so fine that you don't get the sediment.
Also keep in mind that when it says 8 cups, it means 5 oz cups. The press holds 34 oz.
@first2summit: It does allow for a better transfer, though, because the grounds get to dissolve in the water for a few minutes. A drip maker just passes water through, making rather weak coffee by comparison.
bowlingb is very right about the volume. "Eight cups" means those little European things that I down with a gulp. :)
@gig103: You are spot on!! Plus free shipping.
I half wish I didn't have 2 Bodums already (one HUGE, one very small) just for an excuse to buy this! lol =D
@eidelbus: That's not true that the water just passes through. The water does sit in the coffee grounds for a period of time.
By your argument, espresso should be even more lacking in the oils and acid because they just blast steam through the packed coffee even faster than the water "passing through."
@first2summit: The water barely sits in a drip machine before it starts pouring out, and whereas the water will get the grounds wet, a French press allows all of the grounds to soak. That's the difference in flavor.
Espresso is an entirely different level. As chemistry students learn, rate of dissolution is affected by things like saturation, mixing, heat, and surface area. The first two are where a French press dissolves better than a drip maker. An espresso machine's pressure and steam (maximum water temperature) allows greater surface contact, time for time.
Tried buying this three different times in two browsers and never could get it to work.
Kept getting an error message when I hit submit at the end. (The forward you to
another site for the cc processing, and that's where I ran into trouble.)
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who was successful.
(In a related note, the error page has a link to take you back to your shopping cart...but when you get there...the call was coming from inside the house! Er, I mean your cart is now empty.)
Just ordered mine about 5 minutes ago. Had no problem at all. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for posting this deal.
@eidelbus: Try drip coffee w paper filter and without and you'll see the difference and my point. Yes, I do agree that the French press allows the water to sit in the coffee longer.
@first2summit: I've tried the fancy gold-plated filters in a drip. It still isn't the same.
@gruebeard: Just ordered mine without any problems.
@gruebeard: An update: The problem was actually on my end (kind of). They don't mention it, and it's a US webstore, but their card information runs through Switzerland. My bank flagged it as an international payment (and therefor unusual for me) and didn't let it go through.
Since the error message that I got wasn't "Your bank says 'no'." and was "Insufficient funds." that lead me in a weird direction.
Anyways, the fraud prevention guy says to put $20 on a pre-paid card and buy it like that. How far will I go for a coffee maker that I don't even need? How far?!

By Michael Ferrante
Apart from my work as a Master Instructor for the Spinning program, I have been leading Spinning classes for a decade at a women's-only health club operation in the greater Boston area. I have my own classes but substitute regularly for other instructors. When I substitute, I'm always pleased and honored with the positive feedback I receive. I'm also amazed to learn that others instructors apparently seem to forget the simple things that in the end make people want to come back to their classes.
The Human Touch Rules
Instructors can come to class armed with an awesome playlist and profile but adding some simple interpersonal touches can yield incredible results. Start with getting to class early enough so you can get some down
tempo music going in the studio to create an atmosphere for your riders. I'm not talking so-called "elevator music" but I'm also not suggesting ear-busting tracks either. Getting to class early also gives you the opportunity to be able to greet people – especially if you're not familiar with the group. Say hello, introduce yourself and ask if anyone is new to the Spinning program and/or needs
help with bike set-up. I recently filled in for an instructor and discovered that several people had never been properly fit to their bikes. All expressed great appreciation for getting assistance on this fundamental yet crucial aspect of Spinning.
Also, during class take some time to teach off the bike and simply interact with riders. Walk into the group and connect in any way you can. Positive comments – truthful of course – can be tremendously motivating and encouraging. Conversely, if you feel the need correct a student's form, make sure you turn off or remove your microphone and then offer constructive, non-confrontational help. I always try to find something positive to say before I make a correction or suggestion.
And when it comes to your profile, don't forget to build it around a sufficient warm-up and cool down period. The warm up is just that…a comfortable flat gear and a comfortable cadence that allows the body to prepare
for the more challenging aspects of your profile. Use the time to set the stage for the ride and to remind the class of Spinning safety guidelines such as a secure seat post, saddle fore and aft and handlebar. During the cool down, thank your riders for coming, for their hard work, for their dedication to good health and their continued support of your club and your classes.
Finally, as hard as it may be some days, try to bring a smile and a positive attitude each time you take the saddle in front of a class. Combined with that awesome playlist and profile, I guarantee success.

One of the most elementary theorems about Picard group is probably $\mathrm{Pic} (X \times \mathbb{A}^n) \cong \mathrm{Pic} X$ and $\mathrm{Pic} (X \times \mathbb{P}^n) \cong \mathrm{Pic} X \times \mathbb{Z}$ (we probably need some restriction for $X$ but let's forget about it for now). This looks very similar to the formulas for $\pi_1$ (the fundamental group). So, my question is whether the who has any relationship and whether one can prove those formulas of the Picard groups using some kind of deformation (as in Topology).
If your question concerns - as mentioned in one of your comments - if there is any relationship between them, then a very beautiful connection exists in what is called geometric class field theory:
namely classical number theoretic class field theory concentrates around what is called Artin Reciprocity, which establishes an isomorphism for a number field $K$ and its ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{K}$ an isomorphism $Pic(Spec(\mathcal{O}_{K})) \cong \pi_{1}^{ab}(Spec(\mathcal{O}_{K}))$ between the Picard group and the abelianized etale fundamental group (it is a geometric reformulation of classical Artin reciprocity). We can see it as a special case of one-dimensional class field theory and the question arises naturally if we can extend somehow this correspondence for higher dimensions (and also for other one dimensional schemes). There are different approaches (K-theory, cycle theory, geometric Langlands) but the main cornerstones are the following:
Bloch-Kaito-Saito Theorem: Let $X$ be a regular, connected, projective scheme over $Spec(\mathbb{Z})$, then there exists also a reciprocity map $Pic(X) \rightarrow \pi_{1}^{ab}(X)$ which is an isomorphism if in addition $X$ is flat over $Spec(\mathbb{Z})$. If $X$ factors through a finite field $k=\mathbb{F}_{q}$ then the reciprocity map is injective and with cokernel $\widehat{\mathbb{Z}}/\mathbb{Z}$.
Also for curves over finite fields there exists a correspondence, namely if $C$ is a smooth, projective, geometrically irreducible curve over a finite field $k$, then there exists a reciprocity homomorphism $Pic_{C}(k) \rightarrow \pi_{1}^{ab}(C)$ which induces an isomorphism on the degree zero parts $Pic_{C}^{0}(k) \rightarrow \pi_{1}^{ab}(C)^{0}$, where the degree maps are the obvious maps to $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\widehat{\mathbb{Z}}$ resp.
Also if $S \subset C$ is a finite set of points of a smooth, projective, geom. irreducible curve $C$ over a finite field, then there is a ramified version of the previous reciprocity, namely between $Pic_{C,S}$ (which is isomorphism classes of line bundles together with fixed isomorphisms of the stalks at every point in $S$) and the abelianization of the tame fundamental group of $U:=C \setminus S$.
Some reference: http://epub.uni-regensburg.de/13979/1/MP92.pdf
and then it gives many other references and so on...
$\def\Pic{\mathrm{Pic}}$ Suppose we are working on compact Kahler manifolds.
We have short sequences: $$0 \to Pic^0(Z) \to \Pic(Z) \to NS(Z) \to 0 $$ $$0 \to H^1(Z, \mathbb{Z}) \to H^{0,1}(Z) \to \Pic^0(Z) \to 0$$ And we have the Lefchetz (1,1) theorem: $$NS(Z) = H^2(Z, \mathbb{Z}) \cap H^{1,1}(Z),$$ where the intersection takes place inside $H^2(Z, \mathbb{C})$.
Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are connected. Applying the Kunneth theorem to everything in sight, we have $H^1(X \times Y, \mathbb{Z}) \cong H^1(X, \mathbb{Z}) \oplus H^1(Y, \mathbb{Z})$, $H^{0,1}(X \times Y) \cong H^{0,1}(X) \oplus H^{0,1}(Y)$, $H^2(X \times Y, \mathbb{Z}) \cong H^2(X, \mathbb{Z}) \oplus \left( H^1(X, \mathbb{Z}) \otimes H^1(Y, \mathbb{Z}) \right) \oplus H^2(Y, \mathbb{Z})$ (I might be missing a torsion term here, but I'll leave that issue for someone else to fix) and $H^{1,1}(X \times Y) \cong H^{1,1}(X) \oplus \left( H^{1,0}(X) \otimes H^{0,1}(Y) \oplus H^{0,1}(X) \otimes H^{1,0}(Y) \right) \oplus H^{1,1}(Y)$.
We see that $\mathrm{Pic}^0(X \times Y) \cong \mathrm{Pic}^0(X) \times \Pic^0(Y)$ and that $NS(X \times Y) \cong NS(X) \oplus NS(Y) \oplus \left( \left( H^{1,0}(X) \otimes H^{0,1}(Y) \oplus H^{0,1}(X) \otimes H^{1,0}(Y) \right) \cap \left( H^1(X, \mathbb{Z}) \otimes H^1(Y, \mathbb{Z}) \right) \right)$.
The trouble is ruling out that last term. In particular, the last term vanishes if $H^1(X)$ or $H^1(Y)$ is trivial. Even if both are nontrivial, there is no reason there has to be any class in this intersection: We are looking for $2$-forms which both interact with the complex structure in a certain way and represent integral classes, and there is no reason there should be any. However, as the other answers show, sometimes there is.
I am not sure whether this is exactly what you want. But still, I see the following relation between $Pic$ and $\pi_1$:
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and $X/k$ a proper variety. Then there is an isomorphism $H^1(X, \mathbb{Z}/n)=Hom(\pi_1(X), \mathbb{Z}/n)$. Furthermore, from the long exact cohomology sequence associated to $$0\to \mathbb{Z}/n\to \mathbb{G}_m\to \mathbb{G}_m\to 0$$ we obtain an isomorphism $$H^1(X, \mathbb{Z}/n)\cong H^1(X, \mathbb{G}_m)[n].$$ Here we used that $k$ is algebraically closed and that $X$ is proper over $k$. By a generalization of Hilbert 90 we have $H^1(X, \mathbb{G}_m)=Pic(X)$. (Cf. Milne's book, Chapter III, Proposition 4.9.) Hence, after all, we see that there is an isomorphism $$Hom(\pi_1(X), \mathbb{Z}/n)\cong Pic(X)[n].$$ I hope, this is of some use...
(The cohomology groups used above are the etale ones.)
Not sure if this is what you're asking, but in general we don't have the equality $Pic(X \times Y) = Pic(X) \times Pic(Y)$, even if $X,Y$ are the nicest objects in town (say smooth projective varieties).
I don't know how to go about actually doing this problem, but a counterexample is in everyones favorite book - problem 4.10 in Hartschorne. It says that for E an elliptic curve, that $Pic(E \times E) \neq Pic(E) \times Pic(E)$.
I think using motivic cohomology, it can be shown that $\mathrm{Pic}(X \times Y) = \mathrm{Pic}(X) \oplus \mathrm{Hom}(\mathrm{Jac}(X), \mathrm{Jac}(Y)) \oplus \mathrm{Pic}(Y)$, or something like that, or perhaps $\mathrm{NS}$ instead of $\mathrm{Pic}$.
First: The identity map on $X$ factors through the inclusion from $X$ to $X\times {\mathbb A}^1$. Therefore $Pic(X)$ is a direct summand of $Pic(X\times{\mathbb A}^1)$. This is the same argument you'd use in topology to show that $\pi_1(X)$ is a direct summand of $\pi_1(X\times I)$ ($I$ being the unit interval).
To show that $Pic(X)$ is equal to all of $Pic(X\times {\mathbb A}^1)$, you can (as you surmise) take a class in $Pic(X\times {\mathbb A}^1)$ and ``deform'' it until it evidently comes from $X$.
Here (roughly) is one way to do this: Represent your class by a divisor $D$. Pull $D$ back to a divisor on $X\times {\mathbb A}^1 \times {\mathbb A}^1$ along the map that sends $(x,s,t)$ to $(x,st)$. Call the pullback $D'$. Then $D'$ restricts to $D$ when $t=1$ and to a divisor that comes from $X$ when $t=0$. Call that latter divisor $D_0$.
You can think of $D'$ as deforming $D$ into $D_0$, which completes the proof. The reason this deformation sets $D$ equal to $D_0$ in the Picard group is that you can think of $D'$ as (roughly) the graph of a function with zeros along $D_0$ and poles along $D$ (after a transformation that takes $1$ to infinity). That's exactly what it takes to make $D-D_0$ trivial in the divisor class group, which, given appropriate assumptions, is the same as the Picard group. So yes, this kind of deformation is just what you need, and just what you've got.

When an individual is arrested in Redwood County, the traditional option is to pay for the crime through fines, probation and jail time. The issue for some is the punitive philosophy is not really helping them address the personal issues that got them in trouble in the first place. Those convicted of drug crimes or DWI have a much more deep-seated problem that can't be solved by sitting in a cell. They need help, because they have an addiction problem. A couple of years ago, the fifth district of the Minnesota Judicial Branch began a program in southwest Minnesota known as the drug court. The Southwest Community Drug Court, which includes Lincoln, Lyon and Redwood counties, was established with the idea to help those with addiction to get to the heart of their personal issues. To help the program succeed, coordinators were hired to help build the program and ensure it was heading in the right direction. Starting this past December a new coordinator has come on board with the program. Her name is Amber Tisue, and she brings a lot of passion to the program.
Tisue, a 2002 graduate of RVHS, earned her degree from SMSU in 2006 and began working as a probation officer in Crow Wing County. A couple of years into her role there, she was approached about getting involved in the development of a DWI court, so Tisue helped build that program from the ground up. She served as the program's coordinator in addition to her role as a probation officer, adding that was great experience and really helped prepare her for the subsequent roles she would fill, as well as her current position. "That was a great job," said Tisue, who said when it was time to start having a family the decision was made to move back closer to family. After returning to her hometown, Tisue took a job working with Project Turnabout, which had her traveling throughout southwest Minnesota. Looking for a little more consistent role that would not require being away from her family as much, Tisue then took a role in Redwood County coordinating the restorative justice program. Then the job opened up in drug court, and Tisue jumped at the chance to get involved. "Every day I wake up now and think about how much I enjoy what I am doing," she said. "For me this is not a job. This is my passion." As drug court coordinator, Tisue works in Redwood Falls and Marshall, but her office is located in the Redwood County courthouse. The drug court program allows adult off-enders who have been charged with a drug offense or felony DWI to get involved with the program rather than just sitting in jail. "A lot of people think this is the easier way out," said Tisue, "but it's not. It's a lot of hard work and commitment." Offenders are referred to the program, and once a week or on an every other week schedule they meet to talk about how they are doing. Those in the program must meet certain requirements placed on them by a team that includes Tisue, as well as representatives from the court system, law enforcement, the county attorney's office, a def-ense attorney, human services, probation, Pro-ject Turnabout and the Lower Sioux community. Those requirements typically include attending meetings, submitting to random testing and getting treatment if that is necessary. Tisue said there are currently seven people in Redwood County who are in the drug court program, adding those who are accepted into the program are given a chemical dependency assessment. It is those who are deemed addicted who become part of drug court. "We are helping them with recovery," Tisue said. "We want to provide them with the care they need and the resources to be healthy." The mission of drug court is to create productive citizens, which means not only helping them overcome addiction but to become productive members of their community. That includes en-couraging those involved to further their education by earning a high school diploma or GED and potentially college, as well. The intent is to help them find a job and then keep it. Only those who are willing to be part of the program are accepted, said Tisue, adding not everyone is a success story. There are relapses and some who just think the program is too hard. Those people end up back in the system and serve their time in jail. That, said Tisue, is sad, because those individuals are not getting the help they need. Statistics show those people end up back in the system again. The drug court program is funded through dollars from the state, said Tisue, adding the program continues to grow statewide. "This is such a great program," she said. "I really feel blessed to be a part of it."

Relive a dramatic moment of medical history
Which defining moments in South African history do you remember? Nelson Mandela walking out of prison? Winning the Rugby World Cup? The first democratic election? What about the world's first heart transplant – that amazing event in 1967 when a young, charismatic doctor from the Karoo dazzled the world with his brilliance, his daring, his technical skills and his flashing smile?
You can now experience the drama and immediacy of that operation in the Heart of Cape Town Museum at Groote Schuur Hospital in Main Road, Observatory.
You'll be taken to a replica of the site where the young donor, Denise Darvall, was tragically killed in a car accident; go into the actual operating theatre where her heart was removed; move into the adjacent one where the world's first heart transplant patient, Louis Washkansky, was waiting for his new heart; and smell, feel and hear the work of the soon-to-be-world-famous surgeon and his team. (The life-size models look so real your own heart will almost stop.)
Twelve days later Dr Chris Barnard was on the cover of Time magazine. "From zero to hero in 12 days," is how Hennie Joubert, the museum's curator, describes Barnard's dizzying leap to global celebrity status.
It's a stunning museum that will fascinate anyone. Take your family, your friends, your visitors … there's nowhere else in the world like it.
Guided tours start at 09h00, 11h00, 13h00, 15h00 and 17h00. There's a coffee shop and you can buy curios.
If you wish, the museum bus will collect you from your hotel and transport you to and from Groote Schuur. Tel +27 21 404 1967.

NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez doesn't know when he'll ready to play baseball again. He's not talking about his role in baseball's ongoing investigation into the Biogenesis clinic.
Other than that, "It's good to be back," the injured Yankees third baseman said before opening day at Yankee Stadium.
BRONX BOMBERS?: The Yankees' modest opening day lineup
SALARY DATABASE: Every player, every team
But Rodriguez was not ready to measure how he rates in the Yankees' court of public opinion.
Unlike first baseman Mark Teixeira, out with an injured wrist, Rodriguez opted not to be introduced before Monday's opener. Shortstop Derek Jeter and center fielder Curtis Granderson, both still in Florida rehabbing injuries, were not present.
"When I get introduced, I want to be on the field," Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez, who was not at spring training while rehabbing from hip surgery in December, spent the day with his teammates before returning to private workouts.
Then, minutes after retiring and revered closer Mariano Rivera regaled reporters at a podium during a press conference, Rodriguez debriefed reporters wedged into a scrum just outside the Yankee clubhouse, A-Rod's first public comments since undergoing hip surgery and getting tied to baseball's latest doping scandal.
"We're at the beginning of Stage 1," was Rodriguez's description of his recovery, though he did say of returning sometime this season, "That's the plan."
That return could be clouded by Rodriguez's inclusion on a list of players linked to Biogenesis and performance enhancing drugs in a Miami New Times report in January.
Rodriguez said he has met with investigators but said, "I'm not going to further discuss it. At some point, everything will be good."
Rodriguez's 2012 season ended with him on the bench after producing just three singles in 25 postseason at-bats. The discovery later of a torn labrum and an impingement in his left hip, not the hip that was surgically repaired before the 2009 season, at least partially explained his struggles.
"It was a bit of a relief understanding it," Rodriguez said. "If we had known, we would have never had that difficult ending. Live and learn."
Rodriguez, 37, said he is confident he can re-discover his previous success.
"There's no reason I can't be at a high level again," he said.

Sencha Touch 2.1 Getting Started
In the "getting-started.html" file, bundled with the new Sencha Touch 2.1 release, the "Things you'll need" section contains the following:
"First, you'll need to download the free Sencha Touch 2 SDK and SDK Tools from the Sencha website."
I take it that this is out of date, and that "Sencha Touch 2 SDK" has been replaced by the latest Sencha Touch 2.1 download and that the "SDK Tools" have now become the "Sencha Cmd 3.0" - would that be correct?
8 Nov 2012 6:43 PM #2
9 Nov 2012 1:42 AM #3
I thought it was - thanks for clarifying.
Sensha should maybe have ensured their packaged documentation was up to date before releasing. There seem to be quite a few people mistakenly trying to use the SDK Tools instead of the new Sencha Cmd and are therefore struggling because of this.
12 Nov 2012 9:44 PM #4
That's correct.
You'd better pay attention to your JDK version. suggest Java Develope Kit 7.0;

I love the taste of onions and garlic and it seems lots of other people do too. But they upset my stomach so much that I can't really cook with them. What can I use in their place to give my food a similar flavour?
Many South Asian recipes use a (fairly weird) spice called "hing" or asafoetida powder. It's got a vaguely similar aroma.
Generally you add a pinch to hot oil before beginning a dish. A half-teaspoon is usually enough for a four- to six-serving preparation.
You can find it quite easily at South Asian grocery stores and online.
Oh, and it's "weird" because of the way it's gathered. Unlike other spices, it's not from a seed or seed pod or bark — it's sap, dried and ground. (Most hing powders are packaged with some filler.)
Some herbs, daikon, or asafoetida powder which is an Indian spice often time used as an onion substitute. You can find it here: http://www.thespicehouse.com/spices/asafoetida-powder
Asafoetida may also be used as a substitute for garlic. Garlic chives may also work but are still fairly oniony/garlicy.
I'd browse around this site a bit. They have quite a few great substitutions for various ingredients: http://www.foodsubs.com
If the recipe calls for onion and garlic, then shallots would be a great substitute, especially if you trying to make the food less "heavy."
Shallots are related to onions but much milder than onions, and also have a taste that's similar to garlic (I believe it's due to the amount of phenols, but don't quote me on that).
People ask very often what they can substitute for shallots, and the best answer I've found is onions and garlic in a 2:1 ratio - but it's not quite the same, the result ends up being a lot stronger than a shallot.
In fact, I believe that many recipes calling for garlic and onion actually should be calling for shallots, but that the writers of these recipes assume that the readers won't have them (or in some cases even know where to get them). And that's a shame, because too much onion and garlic can do a lot of damage to a delicate recipe.
I cannot promise that this will "sit" better with you - that really depends on your digestive system and how exactly you react to onions - but in most cases shallots tend to be milder on the stomach for the same reason that they're milder on the taste buds. So give it's worth trying something that may actually enhance the flavour of your dish as opposed to making it blander!
If you want to try something less orthodox, I'd use wild garlic, collected in spring in the forests. When collecting, be careful not to confound it with "may lily" which is a toxic plant.
You can make a great pesto of it too.
If you are making garlic bread and need a sub, asofoeteda (hing) and some nutritional yeast a is a good option.
In Indian cooking, hing with ginger can be added for flavor replacement of onion and garlic.
Diakon, finely cut, with a pinch of hing is a good replacement for raw onions in chevdas, etc
Onions, garlic and others from the Alium family are prohibited in Hindu cooking because they have a Thamasik effect on a person. Tamasik propensity like laziness, lack of interest in higher taste, over eating, over sleeping, etc.
Dehydrated onion powder. It works well in soups and stews, but obviously won't be a good substitute for a pile of sautéed onions on top of your steak.
Also, in May an June, you might be able to find Ramps (Wild Leeks, Wild Garlic, Mountain Garlic) - Allium tricoccum, which has a lovely subtle flavour and is a bit easier on the stomach.
green onions or chives can be a substitute for onion if you can handle those.
Garlic is tough to replace, but it depends on the recipe. Some recipes like salad dressings, you can get buy by omitting it or just replacing it by something on the bitterish side like pickles or picked beats.
if you're substituing it in cooking, then perhaps a high quality onion and garlic powder (not salt) would suffice. NOTE that this advice should only be used by people who can't eat onion/garlic and not by lazy folks who don't want to peal and cut
Scallions work really well as a replacement onions and garlic, yes they flavor will be milder but scallions have flavor components of both in my humble opinion. Green onions/spring onions add a nice onionly flavor and chives are also good sprinkled on top of burgers, and even steak for a nice, yet mild onion flavor.

text: So anyone that is a Hunger Games fan and has read the books should recognize the name of this character from the series. Up next I will be showing you "how to draw Finnick Odair", step by step. According to my sister, Finnick is from District 4 and when he was fourteen years old he won the 65th Hunger Games and was actually one of the 3rd Quarter Quell. For those of you that haven't read the book and are solely looking forward to the movie Catching Fire, I won't mention too much because I don't want to be a spoiler. I will tell you that Finnick used a Trident which brought him to victory. District 4 is a fishing district which explains Finnick's attire during the chariot entries. I do believe that you will enjoy this lesson, especially if you love the Hunger Games. Be sure to plan ahead so you can enjoy Catching Fire on November 22nd. Peace folks and enjoy.

On-Board Diagnostics (OBD)
Vehicle Owners
Do you drive a 1996 or newer car or light truck? If so, it is equipped with OBDan advanced "on-board" computer system responsible for monitoring your vehicle's engine, transmission, and emissions control components. If your "Check Engine" light comes on and stays on, your OBD system is telling you that it has detected a problem with your vehicle. In addition to protecting the environment, this light, and the OBD system behind it, can save you time and money by identifying minor problems before they become major repair bills.
OBD also plays a key role in nearly 30 state and local vehicle emissions testing programs around the country. In these areas, technicians use OBD checks to identify vehicles that are in need of repair and therefore are exceeding emissions standards. As a result, OBD serves as an important tool in improving air quality and helping states meet national air quality standards.

With the culmination of the Harry Potter movie series this past summer, there are probably lots of people looking for new jobs—and there's also one special canine cast member looking for a new home.
Ten-year-old Berry, who played wizard Sirius Black's Animagus form, Padfoot, on the silver screen, has been given up to a U.K. German Shepard rescue organization, along with his longtime real-life pal, 13-year-old Porridge. Their previous owner, stuntman Paul Thompson, could not longer care for them due to the demands of his career.
In Berry's words, from the German Shepherd Rescue website:
My Dad contacted German Shepherd Dog Rescue because he realised he didn't have the time to look after us properly anymore. His work takes him away from home an awful lot and whilst his friends and family tried to help look after us, we weren't getting the walks or brushes we were used to.
Unfortunately for stateside Muggles, it looks like Berry will be staying in the U.K.
"At their age we wouldn't consider shipping them overseas," Lizzy Brown, a dog coordinator for the rescue organization, told ABC News. However, adoption requests are pouring in, and it looks like (SPOILER ALERT!) the real-life Berry will have a happier ending than his on-screen counterpart.
Both of us are a bit wobbly in our older years but we still love life … If only I had become rich and famous as well then maybe I could have helped these wonderful people help more dogs like me and Porridge. I know whatever else happens, we will be together now and loved and cared for.
