Brief History of the Ax, continued
American Felling Ax
During the period in which the trade ax was being introduced to the North American Indians, the felling ax was brought to America by settlers from England, France, and Spain.
The 17th-century felling ax was made of two pieces of iron that were hammer welded down the center of the poll surface. Later axes had a thin poll with a flat surface. When North American blacksmiths began making the felling axes, they forged the poll side of the pattern longer in order to make a lap weld, which gave more welding surface. This produced a heavier poll with more weight behind the handle, providing better balance. In essence, this design is the modern ax that we use today (Kauffman 1994) (Figure 12).
Figure 12--Winchester ax and hatchet, Michigan
pattern, typical of the American felling ax.
An edge tool maker's advertisement in the Pennsylvania Packet and Daily Advertiser on July 7, 1789, shows that the American felling ax was fully developed then. The illustration closely resembles the Kentucky pattern made by the Douglas Ax Company and illustrated in its 1863 catalog. The Jersey pattern, my personal favorite, is very similar to the model of 1789. It is still available. In the mid-19th century, some of the American axes were still made of both iron and steel. An iron poll and a high-carbon-steel single-bit ax appears in an advertisement in the October 29, 1859, issue of Scientific American (Kauffman 1994).
The addition of the poll by an unknown North American blacksmith is what makes the American felling ax unique. Late 18th-century iron axes often had steel insert cutting edges. Earlier European axes with their long blades were awkward to use. When North Americans ground down the blades after sharpening them many times, they discovered that they could use them to cut more accurately. These axes had better balance and geometry. The blade wobbled less during the swing. After this discovery, American axes were made with shorter, wider blades.
In the late 18th century, some axes became almost square. These axes are often referred to as the American ax (Figure 13). Introduction of he Bessemer process for making steel in the late 19th century made steel affordable. The entire ax blade could be made of steel. Polished steel axes reduce the friction between the blade and the log. The ax blade can be made even thinner, allowing size and weight to be reduced while maintaining cutting efficiency. Making the entire ax wider with a heavier poll gave it more balance than the narrow, long-bladed English or European ax with little or no poll (Kauffman 1994).
Figure 13--My favorite American felling ax, a True
Temper Kelly Perfect with a Jersey head and 32-inch
straight hickory handle.
The head of a full-size single-bit ax or poll ax weighed 3 to 6 pounds. The handle was 30 to 36 inches long.
The single-bit felling ax, or American ax, became the international standard for quality axes.
Double-Bit Ax
The first double-bit ax was probably made by William Mann in Pennsylvania at about 1850. The Mann Edge Tool Company is one of the few American companies still in the business of making axes. By 1860 the double-bit ax was very common in the Northeast. The double-bit was not widely popular until the last quarter of the 19th century when it came into its own in the Pacific Northwest (Figure 14).
Figure 14--Three double-bit patterns
available from Collins in 1921.
The double-bit ax weighed from about 2½ to 5 pounds and had a handle that was 26 to 42 inches long (Figure 15).
Figure 15--Three representative double-bit patterns:
Bluegrass Western pattern double-bit ax(top left);
True Temper Kelly Perfect Michigan pattern double-bit
ax (top right); and a 2½-pound reversible cruiser
ax, sometimes used for ax throwing (bottom).
Which is better, a single-bit or double-bit ax? No other question is likely to raise as much controversy among ax enthusiasts as this one. Although the single-bit or poll ax was developed first and has remained popular, the double-bit developed a strong following because of its balanced feel and versatility. Typically, one blade was sharpened to a finely honed, narrow "felling edge," while the second blade was ground slightly blunter, and used for knots, cutting near the ground, or in other instances where a finely sharpened blade was more likely to be damaged.
The double-bit ax remains a popular utility ax in the Western United States, especially among agencies like the USDA Forest Service. The single-bit ax also remains popular. All of the competition axes are single-bit axes. In my opinion, a single-bit ax is a more efficient cutting tool; the double-bit is more versatile.
Broad Ax
Other special-purpose axes helped develop America. The hewing ax (also called broad ax or side ax) was used to square timber or flatten the sides of logs. It was used primarily for log buildings and timber framing, either in house or barn construction. Hewn timber was also used for railroad ties and trestle bridges.
The goose-wing broad axes (Figure 16) brought to America by German settlers were the earliest hewing axes commonly used in this country. These axes were first used in Bucks County, PA. An earlier pattern of hewing ax known as the medieval goose-wing ax occasionally shows up (Figure 17). Goose-wing broad axes were made in both left- and right-handed models. The goose-wing handle was offset to the left or right by fitting it into a bent metal tube forged to the bit. Later hewing axes, known as American broad axes, had a handle that allowed the head to be taken off and reversed for use by right-handers or left-handers.

hewing ax. There are maker's marks hammered
into the blade.

KEPT IN. The boy stood on the schoolroom form, Whence all but he had fled ; The calm had now dispelled the storm That raged about his head. But sorrowful and sad he stood, For he was in disgrace— A "pickle" in a mournful mood, With proud though grimy face. The time rolled on ; he could not go   Without his master s word. That master, at his desk below, His voice no longer heard. He called aloud, " Must I be kept ? My tooth, sir, is so bad ! " He knew not that the master slept, Unconscious of the lad. He shouted out once more aloud, "Sir T shall lose my train." With bended head and shoulders bowed, The master snored amain. Upon his cheeks tears came and went ; He pulled his inky hair ; And from that post of punishment He looked in sheer despair. "Say, please sir," once again he cried, "If I may yet begone ;" And but a louder snore replied—   His master slumbered on. Then came a burst of thunder sound. The boy, oh, where was he!   The form capsiz...

ROC-LOBE. BY GEO. COLLINGRIDGE. Member of the Council of the Royal Geogi-aphical Society of Australasia. T N the first number of THE CHILDREN'S 1 NEWSI-APER, at the foot of tlie middle column on page 12, the following note may be seen :-" A Moa's egg lias recently been found in New Zealand. It had evidently been preserved in clay by the side of a stream." Now why is this little item of news interesting? For several reasons; but principally because the moa is a thing of the past, and also because, like most birds that have become extinct, the moa was of very large size. The finding of large egg? at various times, and in various parts of the world, lias given rise to some strange stories of birds of gigantic proportions, none of which are more interesting than those that relate to the rukh, or, as the name is more commonly written, the roc. These stories are of such marvellous character that the roc has come to be considered as an entirely fabulous creature, although such may not be t...

The useful beetle known as Novius cardinalis, and employed in California to eat up the " white or fluted scale," insects of the orange groves, has been exported to Portugal for the same pur pose. The beetles were packed in moss with a quantity of scale insects to eat, and sent by mail to Lisbon. Only a few reached their destination alive, but they are prolific, and in a few months thousands were available for work on the scale insects which infest the orange groves of the Tagus.
When the Queen Wears a Crown. Her Majestjr has three crowns, but it is very seldom indeed that she wears one of them. During the long series of func tions that accompanied the celebration of her last birthday, for instance, there was only one occarion on which the Royal head was graced with a crown. 1dus was the drawing-room which Her Majesty attended. The tiara which the Queen then wore was made nearly forty years ago and weighs about 80 troyT ounces. It is a light shell of gold, thickly encrusted with diamonds, there being no fewer than 2673 white diamonds and 523 of the rose brilliants. This was designed for use with the long strip of tulle used as a veil by Her Majesty on State occasions, such as weddings and drawing-rooms. The Queen wears it well back on her head, and it forms a pin to fasten the ceremonial veil, which floats away from it to the hem of the train. -" M.A.P."

Nightmare Alone
Ebony wings and fiery eyes,
Old of age yet wise, so wise,
A soul as dark or darker then night,
A majestic creature of rage, hate and spite.
Shadow dragon which haunts my dreams,
And steals from me nightmarish screams,
Creature of hate lives forever untamed,
Creature of darkness, denied a name.
Wings when spread blot out the sun,
Eyes which reflect what we have become,
A burning fire within it's lungs,
We have created this nightmare alone.

Just Health by Norman Daniels
Book DescriptionIn this book by the award-winning author of Just Healthcare, Norman Daniels develops a comprehensive theory of justice for health that answers three key questions: what is the special moral importance of health? When are health inequalities unjust? How can we meet health needs fairly when we cannot meet them all? Daniels' theory has implications for national and global health policy: can we meet health needs fairly in ageing societies? Or protect health in the workplace while respecting individual liberty? Or meet professional obligations and obligations of justice without conflict? When is an effort to reduce health disparities, or to set priorities in realising a human right to health, fair? What do richer, healthier societies owe poorer, sicker societies? Just Health: Meeting Health Needs Fairly explores the many ways that social justice is good for the health of populations in developed and developing countries.

Books By Author Norman Daniels
Identified versus Statistical Lives, Hardback (April 2015)
Human beings show a greater inclination to assist persons identified as being at high risk of great harm than to assist persons who will suffer similar harm but are not identified as yet. Does this effect constitute a virtue, or a vice? What explains the effect? What are the implications for policy?
Setting Limits Fairly, Paperback (March 2008)
The central idea behind this book is that we lack consensus on principles for allocating medical resources, and in the absence of such a consensus we must develop and rely on a fair decision-making process for setting limits on health care. The authors provide an analysis of the current situation, reviewing typical solutions, before describing their own approach.

D&D 4th Edition, pre-game
D&D 4th Edition
I'm saying it up front - this is an unfair review (and when I'm willing to admit it, you know to break out some extra grains of salt). I've only read the Player Handbook and made one character for Dave's soon-to-begin online campaign. I do not yet have any actual play experience. I intend to make another posting after the online campaign has gone on for a while and re-review the game.
That said, I don't like what I've seen.
To me, the biggest issue for tabletop gaming is: in what way are you better than your major competitor, a video game? Frankly, if I want to team up with four other people and kill a dragon, I can do it with a lot more visceral excitement in Baldur's Gate II or World of Warcraft; I won't have to do a lot of fiddly arithmetic, there's almost no down time (compared to tabletop games, which have sometimes been called "ten minutes of fun packed into two hours"), and there are even visuals.
So if those are the relative strengths of video games, what do tabletop role-playing games offer? First and foremost, infinite options. You can go "off the beaten path" in a conventional RPG with a GM in a way that's, so far, totally impossible in a computer game. Second, meaningful and real story-telling. You can get this in some CRPGs, but it's never "your" story - you don't get to be a writer or even a co-writer. Third, a focus on the inside of your character's head, instead of on repeated physical conflicts: the "easiest" form of conflict, and therefore one used almost exclusively in CRPGs.
So, to me, D&D 4th heads strongly in every direction in which CRPGs have their relative strengths, and away from every direction in which tabletop RPGs have their relative strengths.
There's little to support a meaningful, believable, or engrossing world, certainly compared to other tabletop games like Reign or Exalted. A huge proportion of the book is taken up by long lists of character powers, which is about as inspiring as doing a database search for mage spells on wowhead.com.
The game mechanics have almost nothing to do with who your character really is. If you look at, say, a GURPS character sheet, the combination of the advantages, disadvantages, skills and quirks will paint a picture to the reader of who that character is and how they would act. Likewise, Spirit of the Century's Aspects, Reign's passions, and even Exalted's Intimacies, Motivation and Virtues. D&D 4 has next to nothing; the only one I can think of is Alignment, and even those have been pared down from the classic 3x3 matrix!
In addition, the mechanics that do exist are focused almost exclusively on combat. It is, essentially, impossible to create a character for whom the majority of their abilities are not centered around killing other people, and almost all of the rules revolve around fighting.
To me, despite the obviously high level of polish and implementation skill, which I would be remiss to not point out, the very design intent of the game was a serious mistake. I already own Descent: Journeys in the Dark (to say nothing of World of Warcraft); it's a better game when I want to sit down and slug it out in a dungeon. I already own GURPS, Reign, Exalted, Spirit of the Century, etc: they're all better games when I want to actually role-play.
Where then does that leave D&D 4?

I don't have a TV (well, not one that actually receives signals via broadcast or cable). I want to watch the presidential debates in real-time. That leaves me with the need to find a live stream on the internet.
Myspace, for some reason, has stepped up to the plate with their mydebates.org. I was very nervous before the first debate that it would fall over and burn down under the strain, but it worked very smoothly.
Cons: Somewhat low resolution, but not so bad that it looks unacceptable. White margins when full-screened, instead of the standard black. Some bizarre "decide which candidate is right for you" flash thingy that I always skip over as the main point of entry. The big one: shrinking the viewing area to put in yes/no polls every couple of minutes.
Pros: Free. Works with Firefox and Linux. You get to see the debate hall before and after it's on the commercial TV networks. No "branding" graphics during the debate, just a straight video feed. No pundits on hand to tell you what you should be thinking.
On the whole, a success.

When it comes to choosing what to drink, there are several factors that the drinker should consider, from least important to most.
Availability. All other things equal, the liquid that you can always get your hands on is better than the one that requires special effort to obtain. Water, in our country, is available almost everywhere in an exceptionally clean state, thanks to our public infrastructure. I would state without fear of contradiction that it is the most available choice.
Cost. Carefully avoiding bottled water, which is a real racket and usually can't pass double-blind taste tests, drinking water is almost unbelievably cheap. My city just hiked its water cost, more than tripling it, all the way up to a hundredth of a cent per liter of water. That's about 10,000 times cheaper than soda.
Taste. Certainly this is a subjective category, but chilled water is cool, refreshing, and pleasant. It is the default beverage at most restaurants. Almost nobody dislikes the taste of water. (As a side note, Los Angeles tap water is apparently
the best-tasting in the country
Health. The human body needs to ingest a certain amount of water every day, and drinking pure water is clearly the most direct way to do so. Water has 0 calories and therefore will never cause any weight gain - in fact, drinking a lot of water is a good way to feel full when attempting to lose weight. There is no acidity or unusual chemicals to harm your teeth. You can drink as much as you want (barring truly exceptional circumstances) without any negative effects whatsoever.
In every category, drinking water comes out among the very best, or at the top.

Caylus is a board game (as opposed to Kaelis, who is a druid, and would get a much different rating).
The theme of the game is that the players are all builders working in the same town, deploying workers and getting favors from the ruler, trying to ... well, trying to get a lot of victory points. There's no real other way to describe the objective.
The game itself is a series of small and fiddly decisions - there's no direct player interaction other than when you accidentally or purposefully screw someone over by taking the action that they were going to take. The winner is essentially the person who correctly optimized the largest number of small fiddly decisions over the course of the game. Many games have a constantly rising intensity until the end, sometimes followed by falling intensity if one player is running away with the victory. Caylus, in contrast, has a perfectly flat and very low intensity level, broken up only by spikes of getting annoyingly screwed by the other players.
The playing pieces are nice, there are interesting game mechanics there, there are a lot of decisions to make and each decision makes a difference. In short, the game does everything right except for the fact that it's not any fun whatsoever. Because of the emotional tone that I describe above, I found the experience to be three solid hours of boredom and pain. Gamers who like to play games because of their themes, to create exciting stories ("and with the new bow I could shoot 20 squares away", "and then the top three players all allied on the 2nd turn and won"), or to socialize with friends, won't find much to like here, but gamers who are drawn solely to the intellectual feat of optimizing complex systems will have a lot to latch on to.
Personally, I found myself wishing that instead of playing the game, I were at the office fixing bugs instead. Not exactly the response a typical game designer is aiming to get from the public, I imagine.

When it comes to horses, I'm as much a fan as I am an expert, which is to say not very much at all. In my experience, they're big, very expensive, and they smell bad. Compared to just about any other method of transportation that you care to name, it's hard to see any relative competitive advantage whatsoever. The speed is low, the maneuverability isn't great, the fuel is expensive, and don't get me started on the user interface - not only is it difficult to switch gears, for some reason the installed user base tends to snicker at you behind their hands when you ask the question.
There is one area in which I
an expert on horses, though, and that's the area in which I intend to focus: horses in fantasy role-playing games.
In such a milieu, horses possess two distinct and considerable strengths. First, they can be used to justify almost any unreasonable travel. Want to get somewhere a thousand miles away? Well, everyone knows horses can go about as fast as a slow car when they run, so that's 30 miles an hour. A thousand miles at 30 mph? Under two days, no problem! Since, usually, nobody involved actually knows anything about horses, everyone feels free to ignore any trifling concerns such as whether your average horse can indeed proceed at a sprint for forty-eight hours without food or drink. Therefore, you can quickly elide the bothersome and tedious procedure of getting from point A to point B, and proceed directly to invading point B, slaughtering its inhabitants, and taking all their worldly possessions.
The two other positive characters of the fantasy role-playing horse go hand in hand: their infinite reliability and their equally infinite fungability. When our bold heroes are fully engaged in the soon-to-be-renowned-in-song Sack Of Point B, they are certainly unable to take with them their passel of horses. Naturally, then, the horses are tied up outside the aforenamed location, with a bit of string, a pat on the head, and fond good wishes. Of course, in such a perilous and no doubt monster-infested locale as Point B, the adventurers may as well have coated their steeds in barbecue sauce and painted "ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET" on their sides.
Thus, when the heroes come staggering up the dungeon steps, laden down with the renowned Point B crown jewels, it is critically important that they be able to replace the horses, and this is where the fungible fantasy horse steps up valiantly to the plate. Invariably, some handy innkeeper, stableman, or, at a pinch, farmhand is willing to sell the heroes a new brace of mounts, perfectly indistinguishable from the previous and at the universally agreed upon market price.
Due to this, any fantasy adventurer worth his or her salt goes through horses like you or I might go through kleenex when afflicted with a particularly nasty head cold. They think nothing of leaving their horses behind for the hobgoblins, zombies, evil wizards, or what have you, viewing the matter as one of those unavoidable costs of doing business to which the budding entrepreneur must become inured.
So, despite the common or real-world horse coming in on the "loss" side of the tally of assets and deficits, the reliability and capacity for noble self-sacrifice of the fantasy role-playing horse brings their score up to a solid

Homestar Ruiner
Homestar Ruiner
As some of you may know, Telltale Games, the company that resurrected the Sam & Max computer game into a new series, has been working up a Homestar Runner adventure game titled Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. Now the first episode of five, Homestar Ruiner, has been released. So, how'd it stack up?
As an adventure game, it's merely good. The controls are easy (if possibly oversimplified compared to the greats like Day of the Tentacle and Curse of Monkey Island) and the pacing is quick, but the difficulty level seems pitched somewhat low. Analyzed "theme-lessly", as a game, it's not a smash hit.
But, of course, to analyze the game in those terms is missing the point. The charm and draw of the game is that you are in effect playing a H*R cartoon, and at that, the game is dead on. It's full of sight gags, witty dialog, and heaps of references to past Homestar cartoons and running jokes. I laughed more during the tutorial than I have entire other games.
In short, the game is enjoyable exactly to the degree that the player enjoys Homestar Runner the website. Fans will love it; those who have never found themselves repeating a Homestar catchphrase will be left cold.
The first episode is available for $9; you can buy all five in advance for $35. (If you do, they say they'll send you a physical disc at the end of the five episodes for just shipping cost, too.) I bought all five, sight unseen, and I'm happy with my purchase after just the first episode, and am enthusiastically awaiting episode two next month.

Benjamin Disraeli once said "a man who is under 15 and does not love dinosaurs has no heart; a man who is over 20 and does love dinosaurs has no brain." Perhaps he was putting the matter a bit too starkly, but there is a definite element of truth to the famous maxim.
Dinosaurs are a great enthusiasm to have when you are a small child. Plenty of dinosaur toys and books are available; you don't run the risk of having to actually encounter any dinosaurs and can therefore continue to admire them from afar without being turned off by, say, heaping piles of dinosaur crap; and, of course, you can memorize stacks and stacks of obscure dinosaur names. I'm sure many a spelling bee champion got their start in life piecing together "triceratops" and "pteranodon".
Even in later life, dinosaurs make a good 'spice', suitable for bumping up the excitement level of other things. Consider, for example, Yoshi from Super Mario World: the game wouldn't have had the oomph it did without being able to crack open that egg and saddle up. Or, for another game example, Bubble Bobble: in a game where the players eat a wide assortment of psychedelic fruits, try to collect balloons to spell out the word "EXTEND", and compete to grab musical notes, flasks, and flowers, making both of the player characters be bright green and purple dinosaurs really ratchets up the already high insanity level.
Still, although dinosaurs can be an all-consuming obsession when young, and strike an interesting note when used sparingly as an adult, when used as a main course, they grow to disappoint. Nothing shows this better than the movie series Jurassic Park. The first dinosaur you see, grazing on a tree, is impressive. By the end of that movie, they are ho-hum, and by the time the sequels haul themselves into view, the script writers are reduced to having the dinosaurs stow away on ocean-going ships and then communicate to each other via sound and gesture. If they ever make another movie, in order to keep the viewing public's interest, they will no doubt have to resort to velociraptors that wield automatic rifles and storm the beaches of Florida from amphibious landing vehicles.

Not posting any ratings for five months
Not posting any ratings for five months
The first rule of running a good webcomic or good blog, is to pick a publication schedule and stick with it. In a way, it almost doesn't matter what the schedule is: every day, every week, every Thursday and Sunday... just as long as a potential reader can know when to expect new material. If you don't post regularly, your audience won't know when to expect new material.
Worse, by not updating regularly, you're showing that you don't think the site is worth your attention, and if it isn't worth your attention, why would it be worth the attention of your readers?
Ideally, you should accumulating postings in advance, so that you can have a reasonably-sized buffer ready to go. Don't get too aggressive - pick a reasonable frequency target for updates, like once a week on Wednesdays, say. Maybe if you go for a long time without updating, you could try to make up for it by putting a bonus second update on the day you come back.

Removing 'Basic Accounts' from LiveJournal
Removing 'Basic Accounts' from LiveJournal
So it seems LiveJournal
just removed the ability to create 'Basic Accounts'
: the kind of account where you don't pay them money, and where there aren't crappy ads all over your journals. I don't have a problem with ads being presented to me while I am viewing (that's what Adblock is for), but I do have a problem with ads being stuffed into my writing.
The really impressive parts are 1) not consulting their advisory council of users and 2) not including it in their official news posts, I guess imagining that it could sneak under the radar.
I'm not giving it a failing grade because, hey, trying to capture as much surplus as possible and not caring what your users think is pretty much par for the course here in the 21st century, but still, it makes a man start glancing at Blogger out of the corner of his eye, wondering what will come next.
Let me know if you start having to punch an animated monkey in order to read further ratings.

is a board game whose theme is that you are elves trying to traverse as much of your elf land as possible before, uh, three turns are up, whatever that means.
I'll put the positive stuff first: the artwork is pretty. The components (pieces, chits, cards) are high quality. (Although why the players are represented as boots is inexplicable.)
On the down side: The game mechanics have very little to do with the theme. You place chits on a path that determine the only way players can move across it that turn. What does that mean? It's the only available form of transport? Then how did I place them? If I'm supposed to be one of the elves, then how do I affect what forms of transport are available across the world?
You never have the feeling that it's possible to figure out what you should be doing. Brian and I ended up just playing the relatively obvious move instead of trying to puzzle out the 'best' move. On that note....
There is a ton of waiting around. You have nothing to do while other players take their turns. Often people would have so much time between their turns, they would 'tune out' to the point where they didn't realize it was their turn again! Not a good sign.
The end of the game is not very exciting. You play three turns then the game is over. There's no rising tension or excitement. In fact, the last turn is probably least exciting since you can probably guess who is going to win, and it's very hard for other people to stop them.
There's no 'negative feedback' - if you got the lowest score on the first turn, it is probably impossible for you to win the game.
There's no sense of being outplayed: when the game was over, I didn't feel like the winners had some impressive strategy or had made some good moves that led them to being the winners. They just sort of ended up with the most points.
In conclusion, a game that looks good visually, but I don't think there's any convincing reason to play it. I would not seek out playing this game again.

First off, if you haven't seen Casablanca, you should stop reading this review (spoiler warning) and make plans to go watch it. If you have seen it, and don't think it deserves an A or an A+, you are probably a bad person. So, I'm not going to talk that much about why it is such a great movie.
What I am going to talk about instead is the "letters of transit". These are the documents that are supposed to allow exactly two people to depart Casablanca. Until I listened to Roger Ebert's commentary on Casablanca over the weekend, I didn't realize that they make
no sense whatsoever
. They're supposedly signed by "de Gaulle himself", which is totally crazy since he is the leader of the resistance movement and has less than no authority in Vichy France. If we are willing to overlook that, it still is totally crazy that the Nazis would let Laszlo leave the country based on
document. It would be like having to let Osama bin Laden through customs because he presented a U.S. passport signed by the President.
The truly amazing thing is that despite this huge logical hole, it is really unnoticable when watching the film! The actors do such a good job of taking it seriously, and the production handles it so smoothly, that you really do believe that letters of transit like this could exist and do what they are supposed to. I didn't even notice, after three watchings, until Ebert pointed it out! For some movies, a logical error like this would be a painfully disruptive flaw; Casablanca takes it in stride, and that's part of the reason it gets an

The "Sunken City" hike in Long Beach
The "Sunken City" hike in Long Beach
Liz found this in a book of hikes around LA. The description was as follows:
"The city was once a neighborhood of exclusive homes. Waves undercut the base of the sandstone and shale cliffs, which began slumping and sliding in 1929 and again in the early '40s. It's now a jumble of rolling land with palm trees, isolated slabs of the old road, tilting sidewalks, streetcar tracks, remnants of house foundations, and chimneys above the surf-swept rocky seashore. Several meandering paths weave through the bluffs. Exploring this surreal landscape is like entering the 'twilight zone.' A few trails drop down the dramatic cliffs to the rocky shoreline and tidal pools."
The slabs of the old road and tilting sidewalks were there, all right, but there wasn't anything that was recognizably the remants of a house. What was recognizable was the graffiti and broken glass: lots and lots and lots of it. It was like a sizable minority of Long Beach really wanted to recycle all their beer bottles, but were too befuddled to use recycling bins, so came and smashed them on these rocks overlooking the ocean instead. Then, while they were there, they realized they had somehow brought a few cans of spray paint, and didn't want to carry all the weight of that paint back home, so they might as well tag everything in sight.
Also it was a very small area. You could see from one end of it to the other. I promised Nate I would refer to it as a "hike", so here we are.
To round it off, the time driving : time hiking ratio was about 2.1.

This movie was great. The characters were vivid, the plot moved at a good speed (after the prologue) and was engrossing, and the visuals were engrossing. I would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy in general. I saw it three days ago and I would be willing to watch it again in the near future, which is very unusual for me. The changes from Neil Gaiman's book all made sense for a film adaptation.
Literally my only complaint is one cliche plot development where one character's message for another character was misinterpreted to mean the opposite. It just didn't work and seemed very ham-handed. Still, if one minor plot element is all that's holding you back, you get an

This up-and-coming comestible-related clothing website benefits from a clever design aesthetic and a few cool high-technology extras. Did you notice the animated rollover text on the model photos? The web development team is highly responsive: I submitted a few bug reports and the fixes were live within ten minutes. The only thing to criticize is the use of only one model in all of the product shots. Still, the other nice touches, and the clever site name, more than make up for it.

On the internet, where there is (as yet) no volume associated with text, caps lock is usually interpreted as shouting. (As a sidenote, maybe there should be some sort of indicator such as a tag for volume to go with text, so that if it is read aloud, the reader knows how loud each piece should be. Then again, maybe not.)
Thus, typing in all caps is the equivalent of arriving at a fancy dress ball and proceeding to deliver all of one's polite chit-chat at the maximum decibelage that one's lungs can provide - as you might imagine, something of a faus pax.
Even in written text, emphasizing passages via all caps invariably appears gauche compared to italics, the now generally defunct underlining, or the use of the exclamation mark.
The fact that it is often a convention in some programming languages to denote constants in all capital letters brings the rating up a plus or two, but cannot hope to entirely redeem the practice.

Island Fish Jasconius
Occasionally known to the cognoscenti as "Island Fish Pandemonius", Jasconius probably ranks among the top ten fish of all time. Just look at him poking his head out of the water, maybe trying to get a good look at the palm trees on his back.
At 6/8, the Island Fish tied for the 2nd largest creature in Revised, and was without a doubt the most water-bound (narrowly edging out Sea Serpent).
A lot of people don't know this, but the name Jasconius is actually
taken from the story of an Irish saint

Ocean Sunfish
This guy is, I would say, the ugliest fish I have ever seen. The gloppy ridge on the back, the two fins pointing opposite directions, and the two "blowhole" things behind the eyes add up to U-G-L-Y.
The only thing the ocean sunfish has going for it is its size, which is immense (up to 10 feet long and 5000 lbs). Even that just calls attention to how ugly it is: if it were tiny, maybe you could ignore it, or put a paper bag over it, or something.

It consists of long periods of boredom punctuated by wrestling with some poor dumb animal too stupid to realize that you've maliciously sunk a jagged piece of metal into its flesh. Then you pull it up onto your boat, and kill it by drowning. If you're feeling beneficient you instead tear the hook from its mouth and throw it back, leaving it merely half-suffocated and bleeding. If you're not, don't forget the gross factor of "cleaning" it later
The only redeeming grace of fishing as an activity is using it as an opportunity to get away from it all and have time to spend doing nothing and relaxing your mind.
Seriously though, hike out to somewhere peaceful and meditate. You and the fish will both be better off.

Great little server with remote management! 06/11/2013
This review is from: Intel R1304BTLSHBNR 1U Rack Server Barebone LGA 1155 Intel C204 DDR3
Good docs. Good FW support. Good general support. Ivy bridge. Nice remote management (optional extra) is available! Nice price. Lots of Intel tech crammed into one little box.
UDIMM only, tho that's partly an advantage. (Low latency.)
Other Thoughts:
Be careful to order only UDIMM for this guy. Nice remote management is available cheaply. (Optional extra.)

Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: xjc
Ant Builder, Windows
JAXB fails to generate correct schema 100% of the time because it sometimes fails to interpret the bindings file that we specify. Given an identical startup environment (including input files and build sequence), the output of our JAXB generated java-source code is not consistent from one run to the next.
We debugged the problem using the JAXB source code and we determined that getOneDocument() inside com.sun.tools.xjc.reader.internalizer.DOMForest sometimes returns a document that is not specified as a root document but that is instead referenced by a root document. Such indirectly specified document is an xsd:include in our root documents, and we deliberately decided not to specify a target namespace for it as part of our design. As a result of this document not having a target namespace, Internalizer.move() fails to correctly bind the globalBindings file to the schema forest by arbitrarily choosing a document from the forest. Whenever JAXB tries to look for the global bindings at a later point in time, the schema cannot be found in the forest.
Whenever getOneDocument() returns an object that can be found in the rootDocuments Set of DOMForest, the global bindings file is correctly attached, and JAXB generates java source code correctly as expected. Whenever getOneDocument() returns an object not in rootDocuments but that is part of the core Map of DOMForest, the bindings file is not correctly attached, and the java source code is not correctly generated. In the current code, the document selected is not predictable because getOneDocument() iterates over a HashSet, which does not specify iteration order by design, thus explaining why the generator is not consistent in its failures. That is, in some runs a root schema is chosen, and in other runs a non-root schema is chosen.
We suggest changing line 225 of DOMForest.java inside getOneDocument() from
for (Document dom : core.values()){ . . . }
for (String k : rootDocuments){ Document dom = core.get(k); . . . }

Sushi Purse
We're gonna need bigger chopsticks
- Shrimp nigiri so cute you'll want to eat it!
- Comes with both an adjustable shoulder and wrist strap
- Kawaii ThinkGeek creation & exclusive
We're gonna need bigger chopsticksIn Japan, sushi is usually reserved for special occasions. Most commonly, they order high-quality ingredients assembled by artisans costing ten-thousand yen or more per person. Here in America, sushi is now considered by many to be a fast ethnic meal you can pick up in the refrigerated section of your neighborhood grocery store. Or a good delivery service, if you're lucky enough to get super-fresh seafood delivered in your neighborhood!
You can save this sushi for special occasions or use it every day. It'll be elated either way, because the smile is embroidered right onto the front of this Sushi Purse. It's a happy little piece of shrimp nigiri, almost cute enough to eat. (Note from our lawyers: plz don't eat the Sushi Purse.) It's got space inside for all your normal purse-type stuff (wallet, phone, keys, chopsticks), and when you zip them all up safe and sound you'll notice the zipper pull is the shrimp's tail! Yep. Can't get much cuter than that.
Product Specifications
- Sushi Purse
- A ThinkGeek creation & exclusive
- All details embroidered or stitched on
- Shrimp tail zipper pull
- Small pocket on inside + pocket on back
- Detachable wrist strap
- Adjustable (and detachable) shoulder strap (11-22" drop)

Sweet & Spicy Salsa with Homemade Whole Wheat Chips
Published by Lauren's Latest at 7:20 AM
It's Friday! I don't know about you but I am so ready for a break! And, here's to hoping that everything for my new site will be ready to go soon! I've been just waiting for this day to come and slowly but surely we're getting there! Hooray!
So, here's a quick, cheap and healthy snack that everyone is sure to love. Instead of making my usual fresh salsa the other day, I decided to make some restaurant style salsa that would store much longer and take the place of store bought salsa. Truth be told, snack cravings hit me hard and we ran out of our usual salsa we buy! But, after making this kind of salsa at home, I don't know if I even want to buy it from the store anymore! (1) It's cheap to make at home (2) you know what you're putting into it which therefore means no preservatives (3) you can make it how you like it (4) it's mighty tasty (5) because I said so. Don't know if that last one will work for you but works like a charm on Gord! Haha!
All you need is a food processor, some fresh ingredients, electricity and 5 minutes or so. This recipe is suited for my taste and is only slightly spicy and pretty sweet. I like the sweetness paired with the salty chips. I'm a quirky salty sweet kinda girl. But, maybe start with half the amount of sugar and go from there. I was totally prepared to put a whole jalapeno into this salsa too, but I clearly used my better judgement and started with half. Holy momma did I pick a HOT pepper! It was pretty big for a jalapeno, but yikes! I got a nice little kick in the back of the throat--still tasty though! So, beware of those huge hot jalapenos on sterroids at your local grocer! Start with less than you think! You never know when one is mild or when one will set your mouth ablaze.
Do you like things spicy? (This question could be interpreted in a very wrong way) Let me rephrase: Do you like your food spicy? Am I just a sissy and play it safe on the mild side? Let me know in the comments below.
Now for these chips--yup, you guessed it! We ran out of these too! We were coming to the end of a week and we were desperate for tortilla chips! I mean, hello! I JUST made salsa. So, I grabbed some leftover whole wheat tortillas from the fridge, cut them into wedges and baked them until crispy. Very simple to do. You can add some salt or other seasonings if you'd like, but I just did mine plain with a light mist of olive oil. (If you don't have one of those self pump spray bottles, you should get one! They are great!--olive oil sprays from the store are fine too) So there you have it! Chips and salsa from a stingy budget friendly kitchen. Now, please excuse me while I go grocery shopping.
PS- Check out my Guacamole too! It's pretty tasty stuff!
Sweet & Spicy Salsayield:1 1/2 cups of salsa (approx.)
3 tablespoons chopped yellow onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 bunch cilantro, washed
1/2 large jalapeno pepper, seeded & ribs removed
1-15 oz. can organic diced tomatoes (you aren't cooking this so use good quality ingredients)
2 teaspoons sugar (start with 1 if you're hesitant about the sweet)
1 tablespoon white vinegar
pinch of dried Oregano
salt & pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients into bowl of food processor. Pulse until desired consistency is reached. Refrigerate in an air tight container until ready to serve. Serve with chips.
Homemade Whole Wheat Chipsyield: 2 servings
4 whole wheat flour tortillas, cut into wedges (I used trader joes)
olive oil spray
salt and other spices (if desired)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Arrange tortillas onto sheet tray. Spray lightly with olive oil and sprinkle over any desired seasonings. Bake 10-15 minutes or until brown and crunchy. Serve with salsa or guacamole!

Banana Bran Muffins with Oats
Published by Lauren's Latest at 7:11 AM
What did you eat for breakfast today? Was it healthy? Leave a comment! I had these Banana Bran Muffins with Oats! Here's where this recipe idea came from:
I've been trying to implement healthier things here and there into my diet and bran popped into my brain a few days ago. After thinking of some exotic and untraditional things to do with it, I opted to first try a simple bran muffin with a few healthy additions: bananas and oats. I was fully expecting to bite into a dry tasteless muffin and was planning on a recipe redo. But one bite in, I knew it was a winner. These were moist and sweet muffins with a great texture! I thought the oats and bran together would really make it chewy and cardboard-like, but it was surprisingly smooth and delightful! People seem to associate bran muffins with something dry and gross. I mean, I've had my fair share of bran muffins gone bad, but could it be possible to make a moist and delicious bran muffin?
HECK YES IT'S POSSIBLE because I did it!
Delicious and healthy BRAN muffins! You can feel good eating them because they are high in fiber, low in fat, only 175 calories per muffin. (I calculated it myself!)
The bananas and sour cream keep the muffins moist and the cinnamon and vanilla enhances the flavor. In this recipe, I call for 1/2 cup of wheat germ. Wheat germ is not a common ingredient to have on hand, so you can substitute it out for ground flax or more all purpose flour. Also, the molasses is optional.
These muffins are great to make late one evening for a snack and then serving the rest for breakfast the next morning. They also freeze well as long as they are stored correctly. Just microwave until warm. It's a quick and easy breakfast!
Make these muffins and start your day off right!
Banana Bran Muffins with Oats
yield: 18 muffins
1 cup Bran Cereal (such As All Bran)
1 cup Whole Milk
½ cups Melted Butter
1 cup Packed Brown Sugar
1 whole Large Egg
1-½ teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1 Tablespoon Molasses
⅓ cups Light Sour Cream
2 whole Ripe Bananas, Mashed
½ cups Whole Grain Quick Oats
1-½ cup All-purpose, Unbleached Flour
½ cups Wheat Germ
½ teaspoons Salt
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1-½ teaspoon Cinnamon
More Whole Grain Quick Oats For the tops
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 18 muffin tin cups with non stick cooking spray and set aside.
In small bowl, mix bran cereal with milk. Set aside to soak.
In large bowl, whip melted butter and brown sugar together. Stir in egg, vanilla extract, molasses, sour cream and mashed bananas.
In medium bowl, stir together all of the dry ingredients (everything else except the final listing for the 5 dashes of quick oats, which you'll use for garnish). * Note: You can substitute more all purpose flour for wheat germ if you prefer.
Into the creamed mixture, alternate stirring in some of the dry ingredients with some of the bran cereal/milk mixture until all is incorporated.
Fill muffin cups 3/4 way full. Sprinkle more oats over the top and bake 15-20 minutes, checking after 15. Be sure not to over bake! Remove from oven, cool 5 minutes and remove from tins.
Serve warm with butter and jam.

Hello, friends! Hope you all have had a good weekend! The highlight for me was giving my little one pop rocks! Talk about hilarious! She didn't know what to do with herself! What a sight to see!
Anyways, I wanted to tell you all that I'm switching over to wordpress and I'm switching the url on you too! Sorry! I know I do that a lot. So, in the next few days if you get re-directed over to a new site that looks a little unfamiliar but much prettier and user friendly, then you'll know why. If you manage to get to my usual golokitchen.com, then be sure to click on the link saying where we've all moved!
My new site has been a work in progress and has taken me a lot longer than expected. (Darn html!) I'm still trying to make it more 'me' if that makes any sense. It will still have all of my recipes and a few more fancy features. So, I hope you guys will join me for a walk on the wild side and bear with me while I work out the last few kinks!
Have I mentioned that I appreciate you all? Well, I really do and I love the feedback and the comments I receive. So, thanks a million!
Hope you all have a GREAT day and look forward to a new recipe on Tuesday!
--Lauren :)

Mr Foot said he didn't believe that the party's recent decision to create a vetting panel to draw up a shortlist of candidates would rule out the MP for Brent East.
"I don't think it's possible to stop him by decent means and so I don't think he will be stopped and I hope he isn't," Mr Foot said.
Mr Foot, who is the most senior Labour figure to come out in support of the former GLC leader, said that it was clear Mr Livingstone should be given the chance to stand. "I don't think there's any reason why he should be blocked. You can't put a black ball in elections like that.
"The whole thing has to be absolutely clear and the party membership will see that justice is done.
"He loves London, there's no doubt about that, and he can speak for London. And he speaks in an accent that Londoners understand. That's part of the reason, no doubt, that he's so popular in the party."

You want to love because you've never lost,
You want to start because you've never stopped.
You want to laugh because it's easier than to cry,
You want live because you've never died.
You want to fly because you haven't fell,
You have a secret you want to tell.
You don't think it can be used as against you,
You just want him to love you too.
You don't know how your heart will stop,
Turn to stone and start to rot.
You want to swim because you've never drowned,
You want to scream because it's an unknown sound.
You want to breathe because it doesn't hurt,
You want to talk because you don't lie with Every Word.

text: The The Overthere wiki last edited by Marino on 02/20/17 03:51PM View full history OverviewThe OverthereThe Overthere is a large shore-side plain. The shores to the north are where the dark alliance of dark elves and ogres have built an outpost from which all of their endeavors on the continent emanate. The outpost has worked out an alliance with Venril Sathir, the lich king of Karnor's Castle. The outpost offers anything one would need before heading out into the wilds of Kunark; a bank, dozens of merchants, guild trainers, and more. A boat makes rounds at the docks, taking anyone through the Timorous Deep back to Antonica. Dragoons from Neriak make their rounds throughout the plains in the darkness of night, so those not on good terms with the Teir'Dal should keep an eye out after the sun sets. A myriad of creatures also inhabit these plains including cockatrices, rhinos, sabertooth tigers, and living cacti known as succulents. The sarnak have also moved into this territory, and their whips can earn just about anyone favor with the dark alliance when given to Captain Rottgrime as proof of death. Despite its inherent dangers, the Overthere is one of the most popular regions of Kunark for mid-seasoned adventurers. To the east is a valley into the dark forest known as Warsliks Wood. To the south is a lengthy valley leading to the Frontier Mountains. To the west is a tunnel luring adventurers into the deadly Skyfire Mountains. In the center of the Overthere is a large canyon. Within this canyon are frightening creatures known as scorpiki, who are half scorpion and half Iksar.

The Fir Tree
Hans Christian Andersen (1805 1875) was a Danish fairy tale writer, and poet noted for his children's stories. During his lifetime he was acclaimed for having delighted children worldwide, and was feted by royalty. His poetry and stories have been translated into more than 150 languages. Andersen s fairy tales of fantasy with moral lessons are popular with children and adults all over the world, and they also contain autobiographical details of the man himself. "The Fir Tree" by Hans Christian Andersen, published originally in 1845, follows the life of a young fir tree living in the woods. Compared to the other trees around him, he feels small, spindly and short, and he constantly utters complaint to any and all woodland creatures within ear shot. Most pointedly, he wonders "when will he truly be alive?" When he sees humans cut down some beautiful trees nearby and then drag them across the snow, he asks the swallows, "Where are they going?" In answer they tell him of all Christmas's splendor and beauty of which those lucky trees will soon be a part. Yet when the time comes for our little fir tree to have his turn, he's taught an unexpected and irreversible lesson. This children's e-book is fully illustrated all-color. Young readers will love the charming all-color illustrations, while parents will appreciate the moral at the end of the story. The beautiful illustrations will captivate your child's imagination and bring them back to read it over again and again.
