ARSC T3E Users' Newsletter 125, September 12, 1997
Hardware Upgrade Scheduled for ARSC T3E
Yukon will receive the following hardware upgrade later this month:
Current Configuration Upgrade Plan ---------------------- ------------------------- 96 PEs (88 User PEs) 104 PEs (Total User PEs--TBA) 128 MB/PE 256 MB/PE 300 MHz clock 450 MHz clock
An important effect of this upgrade will be to make yukon streams safe .
Yukon users: MOTD and news will keep you up-to-date on the downtime plan. The upgrade and testing process is scheduled to begin on Sunday 9/21 and will take approximately 2 days.
File Assignment: Dangerous but Useful
The assign command lets you modify many of the characteristics with which files associated with Fortran file unit numbers will be opened. For instance:
# Name of file associated with unit 41 will be "junk.text". assign -a junk.text u:41 # Numeric data in unit 41 will be in IEEE format. assign -N IEEE u:41
ASNUNIT and ASSIGN are equivalent Fortran callable subroutines. For instance:
CALL ASNUNIT (41, "-a junk.text", IERR) CALL ASNUNIT (41, "-N IEEE", IERR)
This is very useful. With one little command (or a simple code change), your old executable can write in IEEE format, read from files with new names, and handle a variety of other situations (see man assign ).
This is also very dangerous, as one of ARSC's biggest users discovered recently. He learned that assignments (made either way) are not cleared after first use or program termination, as he had assumed. They persist and affect later runs of any Fortran program which uses that same unit numbers. Suddenly, one of his programs (which had always worked) started crashing because of an earlier, forgotten assignment.
Here's a simple demonstration of the problem. tstgood.f opens a file to unit 41 and writes formatted reals to it. tstset.f is some unrelated program which, for reasons of its own, assigns IEEE formatting to unit 41. Tstgood crashes once tstset is run:
yukon$ cat tstgood.f program tst_good implicit none real x integer j, IER open (unit=41, file="test.in", form="FORMATTED", $ status="UNKNOWN") do j=1,10 x = real(j)/100. write (41, '(f8.4)') x enddo print*, "Unit 41 written successfully." close (unit=41) end yukon$ ./tstgood Unit 41 written successfully. yukon$ cat tstset.f program tst_bad implicit none integer IERR CALL ASNUNIT(41,'-N IEEE',IERR) print*,"Assignment on unit 41 made." end yukon$ ./tstset Assignment on unit 41 made. yukon$ ./tstgood lib-1069 ./tstgood: UNRECOVERABLE library error The file cannot be opened for FORMATTED I/O. Encountered during an OPEN of unit 41 Fortran unit 41 is not connected Error initiated at line 666 in routine '_f_open'. SIGNAL: Abort ( from process 47828 ) Beginning of Traceback (PE 0): Interrupt at address 0x8000323f0 in routine '_lwp_kill'. Called from line 30 (address 0x800031bf0) in routine 'raise'. Called from line 125 (address 0x800009784) in routine 'abort'. Called from line 113 (address 0x8000a2efc) in routine '_ferr'. Called from line 666 (address 0x8000b61f4) in routine '_f_open'. Called from line 344 (address 0x8000b7bc4) in routine '__OPN'. Called from line 381 (address 0x8000b88f4) in routine '_OPEN'. Called from line 7 (address 0x80000135c) in routine 'TST_GOOD'. Called from line 449 (address 0x800000b58) in routine '$START$'. End of Traceback. Abort(coredump) yukon$
Here's a demonstration of the naming danger. tstgood.f has this open statement:
open (unit=41, file="test.in", form="FORMATTED", $ status="UNKNOWN")
But assign can override the specified file name:
yukon$ ls -l test.* cmd-1025 ls: test.*: No such file or directory yukon$ ./tstgood Unit 41 written successfully. yukon$ ls -l test.* -rw------- 1 baring staff 90 Aug 15 11:48 test.in yukon$ rm test.* yukon$ assign -a test.other-name u:41 yukon$ ./tstgood Unit 41 written successfully. yukon$ ls -l test.* -rw------- 1 baring staff 90 Aug 15 11:49 test.other-name
To identify and clear undesired, residual assignments, here are some useful calls:
# List all current assignments. assign -V # Clear all current assignments. assign -R # Clear all current assignments on unit ###. assign -R ### # Fortran: clear all assignments CALL ASNRM (IERR) # Fortran: clear assignments on unit 41 CALL ASNUNIT (41, "-R", IERR)
For those who like to see the inner workings, your assignments are stored to the file:
A call to assign -V names this file for you, as well as listing the current assignments. For instance:
yukon$ assign -V # ASSIGN ENVIRONMENT FILE=/tmp/baring/.assign assign -t u:31
MPI: Fortran and C Differences
There are differences between the C and Fortran interfaces to MPI which are not always documented. Taking MPI_BARRIER as an example, in C the code contains:
ierr = MPI_BARRIER(MPI_COMM_WORLD);
Whereas in Fortran it contains:
call MPI_BARRIER(MPI_COMM_WORLD, ierr)
Note the difference: in C, the error code is returned as the result of the function, while in Fortran, it is an additional argument. Many texts, examples, and manual pages, including those from CRI, quote the C arguments only. It becomes easy to forget the extra argument, IERR, when developing Fortran code.
The potential for error is compounded since Fortran code which omits the IERR argument will work on some systems and fail on others. The CRAY T3D/T3E MPI library requires the argument: if IERR is omitted, the following error message is produced:
SIGNAL: Operand range error ( [21] memory management fault) Beginning of Traceback (PE 1): Interrupt at address 0x800137218 in routine 'MPI_BARRIER'. Called from line 63 (address 0x800001500) in routine 'PROG1'. Called from line 449 (address 0x800000b58) in routine '$START$'. End of Traceback. Operand range error (core dumped)
MPI: Mixed Language Programs
Many programmers mix C and Fortran to get the best of both languages. Typically C is used to create memory storage structures and to interface with graphical/windowing systems while Fortran is used for the numerically intensive computations and for access to Fortran libraries.
When using MPI in a mixed-language program, the call to MPI_INIT must be in the same language as the main program. The MPI standard does not say what a program can do before an MPI_INIT or after an MPI_FINALIZE. Our advice is to make MPI_INIT the first call and MPI_FINALIZE the last call in the main program.
Here are two examples, first, a Fortran main calling a C function and then a C main calling a Fortran function:
EXAMPLE 1: ----------------------------- Fortran main -------------------- program f_main implicit none include 'mpif.h' integer mype, totpes, ierr, i, pe integer GETPEINFO integer ierr call MPI_INIT(ierr) ierr = GETPEINFO (mype, totpes) ! Call C function do i=0,totpes ! Respond in order pe=i call MPI_Bcast(pe, 1, MPI_INTEGER, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD,ierr) if (pe.EQ.mype) then write(6,*) 'From Fort: mype is ',mype,' of total ',totpes endif enddo call MPI_FINALIZE(ierr) end ----------------------------- C function ---------------------- #include <stdio.h> #include <mpi.h> int GETPEINFO (int *mype, int *totpes) { int err; err=MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, mype); err=MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, totpes); printf ("from C: mype: %d totpes: %d\n", *mype, *totpes); return err; } ----------------------------- Compile, link, and run: --------- yukon$ cc -c c_func.c yukon$ f90 c_func.o f_main.f yukon$ mpprun -n4 ./a.out from C: mype: 2 totpes: 4 from C: mype: 1 totpes: 4 from C: mype: 0 totpes: 4 from C: mype: 3 totpes: 4 From Fort: mype is 0 of total 4 From Fort: mype is 1 of total 4 From Fort: mype is 2 of total 4 From Fort: mype is 3 of total 4 EXAMPLE 2: ----------------------------- C main -------------------------- #include <stdio.h> #include <mpi.h> main(int argc, char **argv) { int err, mype, totpes, pe; fortran int GETPEINFO(); err=MPI_Init(&argc, &argv); err=GETPEINFO (&mype, &totpes); /* Call Fortran func */ for (pe=0; pe<totpes; pe++) { /* PEs respond in order */ err=MPI_Barrier (MPI_COMM_WORLD); if (pe==mype) printf ("from C: mype: %d totpes: %d\n", mype, totpes); } err=MPI_Finalize(); } ----------------------------- Fortran function ---------------- integer function GETPEINFO (mype, totpes) implicit none include 'mpif.h' integer mype, totpes, ierr, pe call MPI_COMM_RANK(MPI_COMM_WORLD, mype, ierr) call MPI_COMM_SIZE(MPI_COMM_WORLD, totpes, ierr) write(6,*) 'From Fort: mype is ',mype,' of total ',totpes GETPEINFO = ierr end ----------------------------- Compile, link, and run: --------- yukon$ f90 -c f_func.f yukon$ cc f_func.o c_main.c yukon$ mpprun -n4 ./a.out From Fort: mype is 0 of total 4 From Fort: mype is 2 of total 4 From Fort: mype is 3 of total 4 From Fort: mype is 1 of total 4 from C: mype: 0 totpes: 4 from C: mype: 1 totpes: 4 from C: mype: 2 totpes: 4 from C: mype: 3 totpes: 4
A common problem when mixing C and Fortran is giving the names of functions in the wrong case:
When mixing C and Fortran on CRAY machines, give the shared functions UPPERCASE names.
Fortran is a case-insensitive language, and to effect this, CRI compilers shift Fortran code to all uppercase. The C languange and the linker, however, are case-sensitive. Thus, if the C code provides or expects a function named with lowercase letters, the linker will be unable to find the corresponding Fortran name (because it will have been shifted to all uppercase).
Some Fortran compilers (including SGI's) effect the case-insensitivity by shifting everything to lowercase rather than uppercase. For this (and other reasons) mixed language programs can take some effort to port between platforms.
Here are CRI's guidelines for mixing Fortran and C/C++ (from SR-2074 3.0):
8.1.2 Calling Fortran functions and subroutines from a C or C++ function This subsection describes the following aspects of calling Fortran from C or C++: requirements and guidelines, MPP considerations, argument passing, array storage, logical and character data, and accessing blank common from C and C++ programs. 22.214.171.124 Requirements Keep the following points in mind when calling Fortran functions from C/C++: * Fortran uses the call-by-address convention, and C/C++ uses the call-by-value convention, which means that only pointers should be passed to Fortran subprograms. See Section 126.96.36.199. * Fortran arrays are in column-major order, and C/C++ arrays are in row-major order. This indicates which dimension is indicated by the first value in an array element subscript. See Section 126.96.36.199. * Single-dimension arrays of integers and single-precision floating-point numbers are the only aggregates that can be passed as parameters without changing the arrays. * Fortran character pointers and C/C++ character pointers are incompatible. See Section 22.214.171.124. * Fortran logical values and C/C++ Boolean values are not fully compatible. See Section 126.96.36.199. * External C/C++ variables are stored in common blocks of the same name, making them readily accessible from Fortran programs if the C/C++ variable is uppercase. * When declaring Fortran functions or objects in C/C++, the name must be specified in all uppercase letters, digits, or underscore characters and consist of 31 or fewer characters. * In C, Fortran functions can be declared using the fortran keyword (see Section 3.4). The fortran keyword is not available in C++. Instead, fortran functions must be declared by specifying extern "C". * In C++, the main function must be written in C++. * On Cray MPP systems, the C/C++ language float type does not match the Fortran REAL type. The float type is 32 bits for C/C++ on Cray MPP systems; the Fortran REAL type is 64 bits. However, Fortran includes the REAL*4 type that matches the C language float type. 8.1.3 Calling a C/C++ function from an assembly language or Fortran program A C/C++ function can be called from Fortran or assembly language. When calling from Fortran, keep in mind the information in Section 8.1.2. When calling a C++ function from Fortran or assembly language, the C++ function must be declared with extern "C" storage class, the main function must be written in C++, and the program must be linked with the CC command. C++ main is responsible for initializing the static constructors for C++ functions.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A: {{ In an SPMD program running on the T3D/E, what is a good way to exit the processes on all PEs when one of them encounters a fatal error condition? }} # MPI_Abort() works but causes a core dump. A more elegant solution # follows: # # # Contributed by Ken Steube of SDSC: # -------------------------------------- # # You have to kill the PID of the process running on PE 0. The C # program included below does the job. A better solution would be to # install a signal handler for SIGUSR1, for example, and from it call # mpi_finalize and anything else you want to do before exiting. # # For Fortran, the PID is available through pxfgetpid, and you access # the kill system call through either the KILL subroutine or function. # # # /*------------------------------------------------------------- # Shows how to have one processor kill the entire parallel # job on the T3E # -------------------------------------------------------------*/ # # #include <stdio.h> # #include <sys/types.h> # #include <signal.h> # # #include <mpi.h> # # int # main(argc, argv) # int argc; # char **argv; # { # int i, iam, nPEs, pid0; # # MPI_Init(&argc, &argv); # MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &iam); # MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &nPEs); # # /* Replicate PE zero's PID on all PEs */ # pid0 = getpid(); # MPI_Bcast(&pid0, 1, MPI_INT, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD); # # for(i=0;i<10;i++) { # printf("Hello from PE %i at step %i\n", iam, i); # sleep(1); # if (iam == 1 && i == 2) kill(pid0, SIGINT); # } # # /* MPI_Finalize(); */ # } # Q: Assume you have dozens of source files, many of which reference the same global variable. You decide to change the name of that variable. Is there an easy way to do this? [ Answers, questions, and tips graciously accepted. ]

There is no doubt investigative reporting by such noted objective thinkers like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh has uncovered a secret Barack Obama plan to kill elderly Americans in order to cut health costs. Scientists working in secret laboratories are attempting to resurrect the ancient giant bird, Te Hokioi, which Maroi legend said was capable to seizing a human and eating it. The bird's claws were as big as a tiger's claws. According to records which this reporter as studied, the Obama plan is to send the elderly to rural areas on the ostensible promise they need more fresh air. Once in the open, hundreds of the Te Hokioi will be unleashed so they can grab grandma and grandpa and take them away to caves in the Rocky Mountains.
The Administration undoubtedly will deny this story. But, the next time grandma or grandpa goes for a walk in the woods, don't worry about the wolves, look up in the sky and if you see a giant bird, run like the wind. After all, grandpa and grandma would have been killed anyway by one of those Death Panels, the president wants to create.

This weekend, three name-brand comedians that is, entertainers who were more of a draw in the 1990s will be performing Utah gigs.
But although none has been on the cover of Rolling Stone in a while, they haven't been completely out of the spotlight.Tonight and Saturday, Tom Green who once was on the cover of the iconic rock magazine will perform stand-up after spending five years interviewing celebrities on the well-received and well-rated "Tom Green's House Tonight," broadcast from the 41-year-old's living room.
Also on Saturday, former "Saturday Night Live" cast member and "Monday Night Football" commentator Dennis Miller will join Bill O'Reilly in a night of what's expected to be a lively conservative conversation. Miller, 59, has hosted a weekday three-hour talk radio program since 2007 and is a frequent guest on O'Reilly's TV show, as they share similar political philosophies.
Green was at the center of the zeitgeist in the early years of the millennium, when his Canadian local-cable sketch-comedy show was picked up by MTV and turned into "The Tom Green Show." A reality star before reality TV became the rage, Green was married briefly to Drew Barrymore and starred in films such as "Freddy Got Fingered" and "Road Trip." He was diagnosed with, and successfully treated for, testicular cancer, and then wrote, directed and starred in a one-hour MTV television special called "The Tom Green Cancer Special," his finest hour of cutting-edge humor.
In a phone interview, Green said that being a stand-up on tour through the world gives him a "great adrenaline rush," something that was sometimes missing on his Internet talk show. "I've been through some unique and interesting things over the last 15 years that give me a different perspective," he said, speaking from his kitchen on a land-line. "I definitely have a mix of people who knew me from before, and then there are stand-up fans. People come not knowing what to expect."
What fans can expect is the manic tone and energy that Green was noted for, coupled with a maturity and personality no longer stunt-driven.
Green's land-line is emblematic of one of his favorite subject matters. "Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to embrace Facebook, or reality TV," he said. "I'm much more skeptical about those things. Opening up your personal life isn't such a great thing."
Green was more communicative than the sarcastic Miller, who cut an interview short because he said he was busier than planes circling overhead at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
After griping when a question was repeated (after he side-stepped it the first time around), Miller said his and O'Reilly's appearance will feature a 35-minute Milller monologue, then a 35-minute O'Reilly monologue, capped by a final 35-minute stretch of the two having a conversation. "We seem to have a Mutt-and-Jeff relationship," Miller said.Miller didn't seem worried that the night of conservative talk would spark controversy or complaints from the audience. "Most people pay money to see things they would like to see," he said.As for the question he was asked twice, Miller said he is an optimist as for the future of our country, even after President Barack Obama's re-election. Then again, on the website for Miller's radio show (which recently had conservative firebrand Ann Coulter as a guest), a segment is captioned: "Dennis is pretty sure there's no way Republicans can get a worthwhile deal out of Obama."

Phoenix Comeback Attempt Falls Short in League Opener
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Using a large, energized home crowd of nearly 500 fans to its advantage, the Green Bay volleyball team made a valiant comeback attempt Friday night in its Horizon League opener against Cleveland State, but the Phoenix (7-6, 0-1) ultimately came up short, falling 3-1 to the Vikings (9-5, 1-0) at the Kress Center.
Green Bay started slow, falling 25-19 in each of the first two sets, but rebounded to take set three 25-18 before being edged 31-29 in an exciting, back-and-forth fourth set.
The Phoenix trailed 14-7 midway through the fourth, but a 4-0 run followed shortly by a 5-0 spurt evened the score at 18-18. A Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukauna, Wis.) kill made it 20-18 Phoenix, and a kill by Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.) gave the home team a 24-23 advantage and the first of four set point opportunities. The Phoenix was unable to grab the set-clinching point in any of its four tries, and the Vikings eventually recorded back-to-back points to secure the 31-29 victory and snap Green Bay's four-match winning streak.
"I was proud of the direction the match went after the way we played in the first two sets, because it could have been a sweep," Phoenix head coach Debbie Kirch said. "But we don't want to continue coming out of matches saying we finished strong. It has got to be there from the start."
The Vikings, picked second the league's preseason poll, owned the Phoenix in hitting percentage the first two sets, highlighted by their .382-.162 advantage in the opener. Green Bay turned the tables in set three, however, making adjustments in the blocking game and out-hitting Cleveland State .310 to .119. The Phoenix opened up a 20-11 lead in the third and ultimately won 25-18, cutting the CSU lead to 2-1 and getting the crowd back in the match.
"We've had large crowds before, but I think what was exciting was the knowledgeable fan base that was just really getting into the match," Kirch said. "I know what a win tonight would have done for that fan base, but I hope they saw what this team is capable of in those last two sets and that they keep coming back because it was an awesome atmosphere."
The Vikings finished with a .194 to .143 edge in hitting percentage, and out-did the Phoenix in kills (58-52), assists (51-48) and blocks (13-7). Van Zeeland paced Green Bay with a team-high 15 kills, while CSU's Kara Koch led all players with 19.
Senior libero Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) registered a match-high 31 digs, giving her 1,462 for her career and moving her into third place on Green Bay's all-time list ahead of Phoenix Hall of Famer Janelle Tomlinson (1,435, 2000-03). Groth entered the match ranked seventh in the NCAA in digs per set, averaging 5.78.
The Phoenix looks to bounce back from the loss on Saturday when it continues its conference schedule against Youngstown State at 4 p.m. at the Kress Center.

Public hearing Monday to discuss lead contamination cleanup in Belding
BELDING — Bob Seeley watched with a sense of relief on Thursday as workers removed soil from his mother's backyard as part of a lead contamination cleanup in Belding.
"We haven't been able to grow grass back there for more than 20 years," Seeley said. "We hope it's all going to be OK when they are done."
Crews are removing contaminated soil near downtown Belding. Mueller Brass, whose brass rod manufacturing plant nearby caused the contamination, is paying for the project.
Company spokesmen declined to discuss how much the project will cost.
For Seeley's mother, Bonita Mosier, it means allowing her great-granddaughter to play in the backyard without any worries.
"They're taking away the contaminated soil and replacing it," Mosier said. "As long as it's OK when they're finished, I'll be happy and so will my great-granddaughter."
Mosier's yard is one of 16 properties near Mueller Brass that is being decontaminated.
Mueller Brass has contracted Advanced Geo Services to handle the cleanup efforts.
Crews are rototilling the contaminated soil to loosen it. They then suck off three inches of topsoil with a large vacuum truck. More soil is removed if lead levels are still above the allowable limit.
The contaminated soil will be replaced with three inches of fresh topsoil and new sod. Work is expected to last about two or three weeks.
The contamination issue has been simmering in Belding for nearly two years after the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) discovered elevated lead levels in the air around Mueller Brass in 2009. Subsequent testing revealed elevated lead levels in the soil.
DEQ and other government officials are hosting a third public meeting about the contamination and clean up at 6 p.m. Monday in the Belding Area Schools Administration Building, 1975 Orchard St.
A public hearing on a new air quality permit will immediately follow the 6 p.m. meeting. Everyone is invited to both meetings.
Chris Christensen of the DEQ Remediation Division said the first meeting will discuss what has taken place with the clean up since last spring.
"We've tested the soil three different times using two different methods," he said. "We have a pretty good handle on where the contamination is. They are out there in the neighborhood right now taking care of it."
Residents with any concerns or questions are encouraged to the attend the meeting. The first hour will be dedicated to an open forum in which questions can be asked of a panel consisting of DEQ members.
The public hearing will involve a proposed permit for Mueller Brass to install new exhaust stacks connected to chip dryers at the facility, located at 302 Ashfield St.
Mueller's smokestacks will have to be raised to triple their current height to meet federal standards, said Jeff Rathbun of the DEQ Air Quality Division. The current smokestacks are about 40 feet tall while the new smokestacks will be 122 feet tall.
"More than likely, if the permit is approved, a new stack will have to be constructed from the ground up," Rathbun said. "This would allow the exhaust to disperse much higher in the air, reducing the lead emissions."

This post probably won't come as a huge surprise — I know many people have noticed how quiet I've been over the last few months.
I want to let you know that I've decided to "retire" from work on race and diversity. Instead, I'm going to focus full-time on working with my husband Serge on Urban Martial Arts, our karate school in Brooklyn.
Why have I decided to change course? Well, it took me a long time to admit this to myself, but the truth is that I'm just not as passionate and driven about race work as I used to be.
Before, when I heard about something race-related, I'd get fired up and couldn't wait to blog/speak/evangelize about it. But over the last year, blogging has felt like more of an obligation than a passion. And it's just not fair to you if I keep phoning it in.
Besides, I've always been a big believer that you need to know when to move on and make room for the next generation. There's nothing I would hate more than to become that cranky older activist telling the young'uns to shut up and show some goddamn respect.
People who are close to me know that I've always been just as interested in marketing and entrepreneurship, as I have been in race. And lately, my interest in business has been peaking as my interest in race work has been dying down.
Serge and I started Urban Martial Arts, our Brooklyn karate school, two years ago, and it's been such a great journey. We work together shockingly well (hey, we were nervous about how it would be to work AND live together!), and running a local small business poses a never-ending series of enjoyable intellectual challenges for us.
Plus, I can't even begin to tell you how rewarding it is to run a business that brings such positive change to our community: not only changes in our students' physical well-being, but also seeing how martial arts is helping to strengthen them mentally and emotionally.
Serge is the martial artist in the family, not me, so I've never had a chance before now to see how life-transforming martial arts really can be. Kinda makes me wish I'd done karate as a kid instead of kidding myself that I was ever gonna be a ballerina. (If you've ever witnessed how terrible my posture is, you'll know that the ballet tuition was quite a waste of money. LOL!)
It's also been really cool to see what a diverse community we've created. We're in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood called Ditmas Park. The school's location happens to be at an intersection between a bunch of different ethnic/religious communities — West Indian, South Asian, Orthodox Jewish, North African, Middle Eastern, Eastern European, just to name a few — and we have students represented from all those backgrounds and more.
(Oh, funnily enough, the school is literally around the corner from this daycare center. When I saw that post go up, I had a total case of "the worlds are colliding!")
It's also been fun for me to take what I stumbled into learning about social media and try to adapt it for business purposes. We just relaunched our web site, which has — wait for it — a blog! That's right, I'm still blogging, though now it's about health and nutrition, and the goings on at the school.
I'm also trying to figure out what the best strategy is with our Facebook page and Twitter account. I'm tinkering, trying out some different things, but if any of you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them! Hit me up at carmen AT urbandojo.com. And of course, if any of you live in or near Ditmas Park and want to try classes, holla!
So anyway, the point is: I'm really excited about this new direction I'm heading in!
And because there are so many amazing people who are doing great work in the race/diversity space, I feel that I can walk away without regret, and with confidence that people are going to continue the struggle against racism.
So what's going to happen to the various places where you keep up with me and my colleagues? Here's a rundown…
- Racialicous – Latoya Peterson is going to take over
- Love Isn't Enough (formerly Anti-Racist Parent) – Tami Winfrey Harris is going to take over
- Addicted to Race – Latoya Peterson is going to take over
- New Demographic will be dissolved.
- My personal blog – I'm not quite sure yet what I'm going to do with it.
- My Twitter account – again, I'm not quite sure yet what I'm going to do with it.
- My Facebook account – I'm going to let it go idle, since it's gotten just too overwhelming and full of people I don't know (my own fault, obviously).
I've started a new Facebook account under my married name for personal and karate purposes. Feel free to friend me there, but please understand that I'm only going to accept your friend request if I know you personally in some way, so don't be offended if I don't respond!
Tami tells me that Julia, a Love Isn't Enough contributor and ardent supporter will be joining her as co-editor, and they are assembling an editorial team to move the site forward. Some of the same voices our readers have come to appreciate will still be around, plus some new ones.
While they work out technical stuff and marshal their forces, Love Isn't Enough will be on hiatus. They will return the week of June 14. In the meantime, they will post an open thread and encourage readers to share any suggestions for the future.
Latoya also has a lot of exciting plans for Racialicious, and Addicted to Race, but she'll reveal those to you in due course.
Ok, so here's where my emotionally stunted self is going to try and let myself get a bit mushy.
Thank you so much for the support you've shown me over the last eight years. Every person who has ever subscribed to our email newsletter, subscribed to our podcast, commented on our blogs, told a friend about us, came to watch me speak, emailed me encouraging words, interviewed me for an article or show, signed up for a teleseminar or program, linked to our blog — every single one of those actions helped create this vibrant network of communities you see here today.
I'm really proud of the work I've done over the years, and I'm so grateful for the amazing opportunities that have come my way, and the great friends and colleagues I've met.
I hope that you will continue to support Racialicious, Addicted to Race, and Love Isn't Enough after I'm gone, because Latoya and Tami have some great things in store for you.
Thank you for letting me into your life.
With gratitude,
Carmen Van Kerckhove
PS: Let me leave you with one last gift…

Design for safety
The primary rules for designing a window well are the code requirements for an egress window. The bottom of the well must be at least 3 x 3 ft., the well can't interfere with opening the window, and you have to provide a permanent ladder if the walls are more than 44 in. high. Terracing our well eliminates the ladder requirement.
Otherwise, you're only limited by safety and drainage issues. Any window well is inherently dangerous because of the potential for falls. Covered window wells are safest, but you can't let the cover hinder the window operation and it must be easily removable (without tools) to provide easy egress and emergency escape.
Terracing minimizes the danger of a fall. We recommend that you construct the widest terraces and lowest steps that your site will allow. You could also put a railing around the well, a feature we recommend if you have a walk nearby. The window well we're building opens onto a spacious yard, away from walkways.
Still, we took the extra precaution of adding a curb about 8 in. above grade plus flower beds and low bushes to keep folks from stepping into it. We constructed our terraced well with 4x6 treated wood timbers because they're long lasting, easy to cut and level, and economical. To dress up the timbers, we stained all sides before installation with an oil-based semi-transparent redwood stain.
Decorative concrete wall block is another good choice for terracing. This block will last forever, but it's about twice as expensive as wood and harder to cut and assemble. Another option is to buy a manufactured well. These range from the corrugated steel culvert style (available in most home centers) to manufactured terraced wells.
Good drainage is critical
If your basement hasn't suffered any moisture or flooding problems, digging a window well or expanding an existing well is unlikely to create water problems, as long as you follow the instructions in the photos. The two sizes of gravel we show provide a path for water to easily flow down into the soil without filling up the well. The landscape fabric acts as a filter to prevent soil from clogging the gravel drain field.
Soil with a high clay content, however, poses another problem. This soil tends to trap water instead of letting it drain away. For yards with clay soil or poor drainage, or for damp basements, consult a professional before undertaking the project. (Check the Yellow Pages under "Waterproofing Contractors.")
One option to ensure good drainage is to tie the well's drain field into the existing drainage system around the footing of your basement (Fig. A). If you don't know if you have foundation drains, you'll have to call the builder or the city department of inspections, or dig down to the footing at the bottom of the wall and look for a gravel bed with a plastic or other type of pipe. If you find the pipe, simply fill the hole with 3/4-in. gravel to connect the two drain fields.
Some homes have drains on the interior, under the basement floor, and rely on a sump pump to get rid of water. Connecting to this type of system is more complicated and difficult. We suggest that you leave this work to a pro.
Be sure to show your plan to your local building inspector and obtain a permit. Ask about any special requirements and discuss drainage issues. The inspector should be familiar with local soil conditions.
Step 1: Dig and prep the hole
Photos 1-4 walk you through the steps for digging the well. Fig. A shows you the exact dimensions we used, but you can easily adjust them to fit your site. Your layout doesn't have to be precise; a stake centered on the window will be accurate enough for digging (Photo 1).
To build the size well we show here, you'll be removing a small mountain of dirt (more than 8 cu. yds.). Save your topsoil, but get rid of the rest of the dirt by renting a 20- or 30-yd. trash container. The oversized container gives you a large base so you don't have to pile the dirt so high.
Make sure the trash container has a gate on the back that you can swing open for the wheelbarrow. Tell the waste company that you'll be loading dirt in the container so it's aware of the weight involved. If you have to put the container curbside, you'll probably have to get a permit from the police department.
We built our entire well first, then added the window. But it's easier to cut in your egress window after you're done with the initial digging (Photo 2). Then finish the well.TIP: Cover the excavation during rainy periods to keep water out and keep the walls from eroding.
Before doing any digging, always call your local utility companies (Natural gas, Water, Electric, Phone and Cable) to locate buried lines.
Step 2: Set the first row of timbers
Photo 7: Level the first row of timbers
Set the first row of timbers perfectly level on the gravel base. Be fussy. Screw the corners together. Assemble the first wall (See Photos 9 and 10) and backfill with gravel. Create a level base for each timber wall with about 6 in. of gravel (no compacting needed). After completing the first wall, use the timbers as a guide to level the base for the remaining walls.
With the bottom level and the window accurately marked, lay out your wall pattern. Then measure the lengths and angles of the timbers and cut them (Photo 5). Often, the cuts expose untreated wood, so treat raw ends after cutting (Photo 6). Use a wood preservative containing copper (available at paint stores, hardware stores or home centers). Set the first row of timbers perfectly level (Photo 7).
Step 3: Set and fasten the remaining levels
The process for the second row is exactly the same as for the first (Photos 8 – 11). Driving the spikes takes some effort, so be sure to predrill with a 12-in. bit (Photo 9). One good reason to backfill with gravel is to avoid the need for compacting (Photo 11). Backfilling with soil would require a lot of tamping to keep it from settling over the next year or two. Complete and backfill all the levels.
Step 4: Anchor the walls at the foundation
Photos 12 and 13 show you how to anchor the timbers against the foundation. Once you finish the well, scatter decorative stone over the surfaces to spruce up its appearance. If you decide to add plants, confine them to pots nestled into the gravel. That way soil won't clog up the drainage. Or encourage vines to grow over the top and down the sides. But leave an uncluttered pathway open for emergency escape.

My girlfriend is a US citizen and she is looking to somehow find some work in Spain this year. She was hoping to get a job through a private company but found out today that she didn't get it, so now we're looking for a new way for her to get a job there. She has majored in Spanish and English wants to find any kind of teaching job in Spain. Will it be possible for her? I know she should take one of these courses that everyone talks about, like TEFL or CELTA, and i'm sure she would be willing to do that. But without an EU passport this could be hard, right?
Please help. Any feed back on what she should do, what course she should take would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Ben

ONLY drawback is it is a little thick and just a bit heavy on the hip all the time but i WILL keep mine def. Made me want a CC that is lighter. Which is leading me to my current hunt of a GLOCK 23 or Sig 229

Isabella Rose Taylor is the youngest designer ever to have her clothes sold in Nordstrom stores and on Nordstrom.com, but that's only the beginning. The Austin, Texas native just showed her eponymous teen clothing line at New York Fashion Week—unheard of for a designer just in her second year of college! Yup, college. Isabella graduated from high school at just 11 years old! "I'm pinching myself, " she told Seventeen backstage after her first NYFW show. "I can't believe I just had my first runway show." Did we mention she's also a talented artist?! This majorly talented power girl started painting at just 3 years old, and now her work is in a gallery in Texas!
BFFs Lexee Smith, Jordyn Jones, and Chloe East (left to right) have become Internet sensations for their ah-mazing dance videos. Jordyn is 14 and Lexee and Chloe are 13, and between the three of them, they have more than 100,000 YouTube subscribers, and millions of Instagram and Twitter followers watching their every move. With their amazing moves and killer style, the girls have dance their way to spots on Lifetime reality show Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition, and a modeling gig for fashion brand Zara Terez, whose founder discovered them after getting sucked into their YouTube videos. (It happens.) And the talented trio's fan base is about to get even bigger, because Jordyn (with the help of Lexee, Chloe) just won Ryan Seacrest's contest for the BEST cover of Iggy Azalea's "Fancy," beating out five other viral videos.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I just have to shake my head and wonder ?????? i will practice the same method i used and was successfull with regarding the food, but the water problem gets me, like really shiloh, your okay with sharing highly valued raw meat with dex and tyson but heck no to water. I totally respect the "iam the keeper of food" facts, but i never thought i would have to be the keeper of something that in my mind is not something a dog would really value enough to guard, 4 water bowls and captain crazy makes sure she polices them. Ahh well, i fixed the food problem, so why not have a go with water.
Thats why i was sorta wondering if it was a medical issue with the old girl.
|Mary Beth
|My guess is that she is trying the same game she played with the food bowl to see if she can get away with guarding the water bowl. I wonder also if she is reacting to something going on - if you recently added another dog or a change in circumstances - or if she is trying to get attention from you or is bored, or winter blahs.. Since you are handling it the same way you did the food guarding and that was successful, your method should work also with the water bowl.
This is mostly to give your question a bump so it's not overlooked but could it be a dominance thing? I've seen articles written about food but not water. It sounds the same to me.
We have had older dogs and brought a pup in the house. The older dogs would guard the food/water. We fed the pups separate until they got older and the problem resolved itself for the most part. (This is the short version)
In the end, I am the keeper of the food and water, not the dog. I say when you eat or drink. Instilling that mind set worked for us, I don't know if it was right or wrong but solved the issue at the time.
Water issue
When i adopted my rescue a year and a half ago she had "food aggression" issues when it came to other dogs not people, We fed her in a different room then our other one for a very long time until she improved and now she has absolutely zero issues with dogs eating out of the same bowl as her. Lately she is guarding water bowls, its become insane, I have 2 downstairs always topped up and 2 upstairs always topped up. She loses her cookies over any of our other dog trying to drink, so i have been managing it, everyone gets to drink but she is put away with her own water dish in a bedroom downstairs. Could there be something medically wrong with her, is this something that will pass like the food issues?
Its not like they dont have free access to water, they have water all over the house its one thing that is readily available to them all the time.
Its so weird, this is the dog that will share a fresh peice of meat with the 2 other dogs with not one growl, but lord help whoever trys to drink something that there is plenty of.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the boards here. I was wondering how one would become a certified teacher trainer. My long term teaching plans include opening my own ESL school that also trains teachers, but I have been unable to find any information that describes how a school can get internationally recognized certification to train teachers. What I want is that I can have prospective teachers train at my school, earn a certificate, and have that certificate actually mean something when they go look for jobs. I hope my question makes sense

text: I agree. I have very few problems with Monroe overall other than some inefficiency in his scoring and his inability to play above the rim on D, but I just find him difficult to watch. It's like watching a really great plumber do his job. Just not very exciting watching a slow back down, 4 pump fakes, a miss, an offensive rebound, a few more pump fakes, and then a soft layup that almost gets blocked by 3 defenders. More fun to watch Drummond descend from the rafters and then try to rip off the rim. If his passing game flourished and he became more Webber like, then I could find it more enjoyable. Right now, his passing game shows potential and flashes of greatness, but it's not really a weapon that the other teams fear yet.

I don't know if that's going to happen or not and I'm really not too focused on it right now, but there's always that possibility especially with any player coming up to unrestricted free agency at the end of the season and a player of my age too (he'll be 33 April 19th). it is a possibility that might happen down the road and if it does happen, then we'll just deal with it then."'

How is grief assessed?
Although practitioners sometimes use paper and pencil survey tests to determine if a person is suffering from grief, the assessment is usually made by the health-care professional asking questions to assess what symptoms an individual is experiencing, then considering whether he or she is suffering from normal grief, complicated grief, or some other issue. Those questions tend to explore whether there are emotional, physical, and/or social symptoms of grief, and if so, how severe and how long the symptoms have been present. The practitioner may also try to determine what stages of the grief process the person has experienced and what stage currently dominates their feelings at the time of the assessment.
How can people cope with grief?
There remains some controversy about how to best help people survive the loss of a loved one. While many forms of support are available and do help certain individuals, little scientific research has shown clear benefits for any particular approach for grief reactions in general. That is thought to be because each approach to support is so different that it is hard to scientifically compare one to another, intervention procedures are not consistently reported in publications, and the ways these interventions have been studied are flawed. Although there has been some concern that grief counseling for uncomplicated grief sufferers works against bereavement recovery, there is research to the contrary. One approach to treating grief is the dual process model, which endorses the bereavement process as being the dynamic struggle between the pain of the death of the loved one (loss-oriented) and recovery (restoration-oriented). This model of treatment recommends that bereaved individuals alternate between directly working on their loss (confrontation) and taking a break from (avoidance) that process when appropriate. For couples that are grieving the occurrence of a miscarriage, brief professional counseling has been found to be helpful.
Quite valuable tips for journaling as an effective way of managing bereavement rather than just stirring up painful feelings are provided by the Center for Journal Therapy. While encouraging those who choose to write a journal to apply no strict rules to the process, some of the ideas encouraged include limiting the time journaling to 15 minutes per day or less to decrease the likelihood of worsening grief, writing how one imagines his or her life will be a year from the date of the loss, and clearly identifying feelings to allow for easier tracking of the individual's grieving process.
To help children and adolescents cope emotionally with the death of a friend or family member, it is important to ensure they receive consistent caretaking and frequent interaction with supportive adults. For children of school age and older, appropriate participation in school, social, and extracurricular activities is necessary to a successful resolution of grief. For adolescents, maintaining positive relationships with peers becomes important in helping teens figure out how to deal with grief. Depending on the adolescent, they even may find interactions with peers and family more helpful than formal sources of support like their school counselor. All children and teens can benefit from being reassured that they did not cause their loved one to die, and such reassurance can go a long way toward lessening the developmentally appropriate tendency children and adolescents have for blaming themselves and any angry feelings they may have harbored against their lost loved one for the death.
Effective coping tips for grieving are nearly as different and numerous as there are bereaved individuals. The bereaved individual's caring for him/herself through continuing nutritious and regular eating habits, getting extra rest, and communicating with surviving friends and families are some ways for grief sufferers to ease the grief process. The use of supportive structure can also go a long way to helping the aggrieved individual come to terms with their loss. Anything from reciting comforting prayers or affirmations, to returning to established meal and bedtimes, as well as returning to work or school routines can help grieving individuals regain a sense of normalcy in their lives. As death involves the loss of an imperfect relationship involving imperfect individuals, forgiveness of the faults of the lost loved one and of the inherently imperfect relationship between the bereaved and the deceased can go a long way toward healing for the bereaved. While the painful aspects of dealing with death are clear, bereavement sometimes also leads to enhanced personal development.

captainsuperdawg wrote:I don't really get it. I think it might be Game of Thrones, but I haven't seen it. Anyone care to help a stupid fellow Wooter?
It probably is. I see four kings: a wolf, a lion, a dragon, and a stag. These are the arms of Houses Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, and Baratheon, the four houses with the strongest claims to the titular thrones.
Considering that the iron price is to kill someone with the shirt and take it from them, the enthusiasm on display for doing so is kind of unnerving. If I wear this shirt, I apparently will need my own sellsword at my back.
For those dismissing it as a book OR TV reference, yes, it's both. And if you're concerned about depraved violence, yeah, I'd stay away from it. There's lots. It's not the heart of the show/book, but it's there.
I don't envy ste7enl, because there's almost no way to make the perfect shirt here. Targaryens should be a queen, Baratheon would look neat with a hammer, maybe there should be a kraken, etc., you really can't win. It's a very cool design that rewards a closer look, regardless of how each fan would have done it just a bit different.
Very cool to see a Game of Thrones shirt. But I can't help but wonder if the title could've been "We Do Not Sew."
jrutkowski wrote:It's a nice looking shirt but I would of designed it differently if you wanted to pay any homage to the book or show.
During the Clash of Kings (Season 2) there are five lords who have claimed the title king.
Joffrey Baratheon, Lion & Stag Sigil
Stannis Baratheon Stag & Heart Sigil
Renly Baratheon Stag Sigil
Rob Stark Dire Wolf Sigil
Balon GreyJoy Kraken Sigil
For a Clash of Kings design I would have chosen 4 of these sigils. Probably drop Renly because he dies during this book and his sigil is present in his brother's and his cousin's.
If you wanted to add House Targaryen, with it's three headed dragon sigil, it wouldn't make much sense to have a king. At this point the only Targaryen known is Daenerys. Maybe have the Targaryen's represented with the queen of spades in the background.
Those are some good ideas. I'd like to see what you come up with.
neuropsychosocial wrote:A friend told me that the show was fairly violent, especially in terms of violence directed against women. Is the same true of the books?
I haven't seen the show, but the books are brutal, though I wouldn't say they're any worse toward women than toward men (or kids of either gender, for that matter). Given your triggers, you probably should avoid them, yes. I like them, but they still make me twitch some, and I don't even have any trigger-worthy experiences.
About the shirt: Very, very tempted. It's a piece of pretty, for sure.
Is that foil, or ink? Does anyone know?
DivineAna wrote:Is that foil, or ink? Does anyone know?
Just ink. I believe foil/metallic inks were attempted but it wasn't possible.
Really classy G.O.T. design, but a short-sleeved tee seems a bit reckless given that a certain season is approaching.

Quickly, to the ravens! Everyone write to woot and get them to commission me to make an entire deck....a man can dream, a man can dream.
got one for the man. i hope it gets here in time for father's day. any hope of that, woot?
Yet another shirt I would own if it were still printed on an American blank. I wish Teemagnet didn't show shirts from here....just pisses me off, but oh well, I'll stick to my guns. No more Woot purchases. Thanks for raising the prices, then lowering the quality of shirts.
To the artist, great design!
This is a great design and my 100th woot! :-P
Beautiful design... too bad it's a pop culture ref -- if it wasn't, I'd be in for two. Both my boys are supremely into slight of hand card tricks right now; they'd love this.
I'm really surprised that so many Wooters are in the dark about A Song Of Ice and Fire. But prune juice references are apparently common knowledge. Also, maybe the dragon card represents Viserys? Just sayin'.
ChronoSquall14 wrote:For those dismissing it as a book OR TV reference, yes, it's both.
Until the TV series came out I thought of it as a literary series or a very strategic board game (Game of Thrones (Second Edition)).
Fortunately, the board game isn't your typical book/TV/movie trivia or roll-the-die game.
Just like the series it's a complex game of subterfuge, political maneuvering and military engagements.
wl551 wrote:Beautiful design... too bad it's a pop culture ref -- if it wasn't, I'd be in for two. Both my boys are supremely into slight of hand card tricks right now; they'd love this.
GOT is not pop culture. It only seems that way because HBO turned it into a series. That said, I'd rate the novels and series R so this wouldn't be the best options for kids.
gironian wrote:Awesome shirt! I don't understand how so many people have gone this long without reading the books or watching the show...missing out!
It's not for everyone.
That said, if it is your thing and you want to talk GOT with spoilers, we apparently have a thread for that.
jrutkowski wrote:It's a nice looking shirt but I would of designed it differently if you wanted to pay any homage to the book or show.
Cool story, bro. Let us know when your design is ready.
This pays homage rather nicely IMO to GOT. But within the artist's conception of a deck of cards featuring the key houses. If the intent was to portray the five kings, this would be a fail, but that's clearly not the goal.
orabbit wrote:I'm really surprised that so many Wooters are in the dark about A Song Of Ice and Fire. But prune juice references are apparently common knowledge. Also, maybe the dragon card represents Viserys? Just sayin'.
Aerys II Targaryen was the infamous mad king himself.
tpt4lyfe wrote:I also have not seen game of thrones before however after reading the write up the memes have taught me enough to recognize that it is a Game of Thrones reference.
Thus being said I think it is more important that this shirt is awesome even without you needing to be "In the know". For those people who get the reference its cool, for those who don't...it's still cool. This is my kind of shirt.
I figured it out from the pixels... err, memes.... too.
I'm actually disappointed. I saw the image and thought WOW, I would totally buy and wear that! But... I don't watch GoT, and I don't want anyone to THINK that I watch it. So this is out, for me. Which is a shame because it's a really, really amazing design.
{{volmod redaction and warning: no personal attacks; that includes dismissal, condescension, and just plain rudeness. If you can't be decent, don't post anything.}}
I for one, am a huge fan of the books, liked the first season, and am in for one. I also would have rather had the kraken instead of the dragons, but I understand both sides of the argument. Cool shirt bro.
chrysknife wrote:(removed)
Feedback's important, yes, we do care. I'll make sure that gets passed on for you.
I do like the shirt, it's a neat design for diehard fans. Game of Thrones is so big, I suppose it really is hard to get all the references into one design.
cruelnv wrote:Anyway, I dig the shirt and would get it if only they offered a "pay the iron price" payment method.
You could always contact service@woot and try, but I don't think they'd go for it. Perhaps the traditional ways are best. ;)
Yes, this could be a reference to the books or the show, but my mind immediately went to the latter because it reminds me of the opening credits. The "Game of Thrones" title logo at the end shows four animal heads: dire wolf, lion, stag, and dragon, one in each corner. Beautiful design, and the only GoT shirt I've seen so far that I've immediately wanted. Well done!
I'm also surprised by all the comments here, especially since they are in reference to the HBO show. Read the books, people! I haven't seen the show, but am eagerly awaiting the sixth book. Looking forward to curling up with it and a nice glass of warrior's drink and a bowl of gagh!
Also, yes the books are violent and the language can be rather crude at times. It's not misogynistic IMO. It's just brilliant storytelling and characterization combining fantasy, politics, sex, war and plenty of surprises.
As others have said, I would have bought this if the Dragon card was a Queen instead of a King.
I minor change that would have made it better.
ste7enl wrote:Just ink. I believe foil/metallic inks were attempted but it wasn't possible.
Ah, thanks. Would have been cool, but it's a pretty sick design anyhow. (Despite not reading the books or getting the reference.)
Incidentally, how do you feel about the artist bio and links being relegated to the bizarre product page?
ChronoSquall14 wrote:Now is the time for the knights of summer. No white ravens yet.
haha! Touché, though I do prefer black ravens...
I don't see why everyone is all like "Oh! Mutating Goodness Greyjoy and the Kraken!!"... Who said this shirt was only specifically referencing to season 2? Robert overthrew the Targaryens, Lannisters somewhat overthrew the Baratheons, and now the Starks have to overthrow the Lannisters.
ste7enl wrote:Aerys II Targaryen was the infamous mad king himself.
Right, him too. I guess I was thinking of living (at least temporarily) characters.
Here's an idea. Those who want to "pay the iron price" can all get together and meet on the tourney field and fight it out. I'll even pay for the shirt, but they have to stream the video during the next Woot-off.
It was almost an immediate buy, but then i realized that the Targaryen was a King and not a Queen. Making it a queen would have been perfect, imo.
Oh well, i'll probably still buy it, i just need to think about it a bit.
WoadWarrior wrote:Here's an idea. Those who want to "pay the iron price" can all get together and meet on the tourney field and fight it out. I'll even pay for the shirt, but they have to stream the video during the next Woot-off.
Touché. I'd enlist, but unfortunately, tourneys aren't really my style. More of a hit-and-run kind of guy. Maybe you could send the shirt to some fisherman's village along the coast?
What was dead m- meh, you get the gist.
nickkmet wrote:In the show/books there are only two seasons, winter and summer. In the book setting, it's been a very long time since the last winter (we're talking decades, here). Winters are really harsh. The "motto" for house Stark is "Winter is Coming" because historically they have lived on the northernmost edge of the kingdom. In the first few books, it is mentioned that Winter is literally almost upon them, so they say it a lot. Hope that helps.
Sorry, but not quite... there are the regular four seasons, but autumn and spring are very short like usual because they're the transition seasons. I'm reading the books and the ironborn often talk about autumn storms and such. Also, it's only been about one decade since the last winter, but it's kinda snarky to correct you on that.

It's totally game of thrones. You should watch it...if you don't mind thinly veiled softcore pornography on HBO. There's also a freakin long book series. AND DRAGONS!
I just noticed something ELSE about this shirt, which continues to grow on me. The stag looks like it has a lightning bolt through the middle, which is very appropriate for the lords of the Stormlands and Storm's End.
But no Kraken... no love for the Ironmen?
