Charles Phan's Roasted Eggplant and Leek Salad
The name "Roasted Eggplant and Leek Salad" in Charles Phan's Vietnamese Home Cooking is a bit of a misnomer. Yes, this dish has eggplant and leeks, but no, it is not a roasted salad. (Unless, of course, you count grilling as roasting.) If you happen to live in a wondrous state with no real winter (cough, California, cough), grilling in January is a non-issue. In other parts of the country, however, it may be necessary to bring the dish indoors and under a broiler. Either way, this silky smokey salad should go on your to-make list, stat--soft eggplant meets pleasantly squeaky leeks in a vibrant sauce of soy, chiles, and cilantro. What's not to love?
Why I picked this recipe: A grilled (or broiled, as the case may be) salad makes for a welcome taste of summer in the middle of winter.
What worked: Smokey grilled eggplant plus sweet leeks makes for a silky side dish packed with vegetal flavor.
What didn't: I would have liked a little more spice in my spicy soy, but this is just a minor quibble.
Suggested tweaks: If you're not into grilling in the middle of winter (I feel you), the dish works well when prepared under a broiler. The cooking times work out about the same as written in the recipe, but you will miss out on some smokey charcoal flavor. The salad tastes great slightly warm as well as the next day, cold from the fridge.

- Yield:serves 6 as a side dish
- Active time: 45 minutes
- Total time:1 hour and 45 minutes
- 4 Rosa Bianca or globe eggplants (about 3 1/2 pounds total)
- Kosher salt
- 12 baby leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup spicy soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
Trim the stem end of each eggplant, peel and slice lengthwise into 1-inch slices. Sprinkle with salt and set aside to drain, 1 hour. After an hour, pat slices dry with a paper towel.
While the eggplant slices are draining, prepare a medium fire for direct heat grilling in a charcoal grill (you should be able to hold your hand 1 inch above the grate for only 4 to 5 seconds).
When the coals are ready, drizzle the leeks with 2 tablespoons of the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the leeks on the grate and cook, turning as needed, for about 15 minutes, until soft and charred in spots. Transfer to a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam while you cook the eggplant.
Drizzle the eggplant slices on both sides with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, then sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill the slices, turning occasionally, for about 20 minutes, until very soft and browned.
Remove the eggplant slices from the grill. When cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and transfer to a serving bowl. Cut the leeks crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices and add to the eggplant. Add the cilantro and toss to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the spicy soy sauce and lime juice. Pour
over the eggplant-leek mixture and toss to coat evenly. Season with additional salt and pepper and serve.

A New Years Challenge…
Happy New Year to everyone! Am sitting here in not-so-sunny Northern California watching storm after storm hit and it had me wondering about Disaster Recovery a bit. I love the fact that networks connect things and that distance = options where DR is concerned. How far apart should data centers be? How far do you usually deploy them? We all understand the issues related to SCSI timeouts and synchronous replication of storage that gates teh maximum distance for synchronous replication to the 100-200km range depending on your application.Is it easible that companies will tier applications and dynamically move their primary execution location based on pending known natural disasters?Is it feasible that a brownout scenario or possibility of rolling-blackouts on the power grid would be a reasonable leading indicator to trigger the movement of compute and storage resources from one location to another?What are the other challenges that you are encountering? Are their organizational barriers to this or is DR so ingrained now that it is purely an execution issue?dg

Зараждане на рицарството
3. Jan. 2008, 12:37 von shannarabg
Еманципацията на жените донесе много права на нежния пол, но за съжаление имаше и един неприятен ефект. А именно – отидоха си истинските мъже, истинските жени и истинските малки космати същества от Алфа Кентавър. В памет на онова време, когато ги е имало, решихме да ви запознаем с едно явление, което вече не се среща, или поне не по нашите географски ширини – рицарството. Корените му се крият далеч назад в миналото, но ние успяхме да ги проследим и отсечем, за да ви ги представим тук като хербарии:
Един ден Прекрасните Дами разбрали, че могат да ползват белите дантелени кърпи не само за да се сополивят, но и за да махат някому с тях. Висенето на балкона и веенето с кърпи на всевъзможни селяци и побойници било глупаво, поради което и се появили Рицарите.
Рицарите – това са мъже, които само с хляб не живеят, на тях им трябва и някой и друг подвиг. В името на дамата. Няколко дами отпървом се чувствали доста неудобно, когато в тяхно име някой рицар накълцвал тиквата на друг, но след време се осъзнали; че и даже почнали да внушават на рицарите, че белезите красят човека. Впоследствие всякакви псевдорицари и прочее метросексуални същества започнали да се блъскат с брадви в муцуните, стремейки се да докарат въпросните до състояние на мъжествено лице.

Industrial Black Metal: A BRIEF Guide.
1. Nov. 2007, 19:09 von IPonly
Be warned: even within albums, there's a lot of inconsistency in which influence is dominant in this genre, the black or the industrial. Give these bands a try if you like both of the adjectival genres:
Soft Stuff:
The Kovenant and Samael have a lot in common- two bands who will give you pure black sound if you go into their back catalogs, but have picked up a lot of electronic influences and the sort. They're both softer now, to the point where I can use them to interest non-metalheads, but that doesn't mean you should dismiss the unique sounds they've come up with.
Real Stuff:
With Aborym as the Platonic ideal of this genre to which other bands may be compared, check out the aggressive attack of Iperyt, the experimental industrial-heavy wanderings of Red Harvest, the black hole of noise which is Darkspace and the hallucinogenic, apocalyptic & criminal experiences of Trollheim's Grott and Mysticum. There's also industrial on the newest CD of the side project Troll belonging to the vocalist of The Kovenant and there's some band from Australia, The Amenta who I really need to get the CD for so I can tell you more then that their myspace tracks sound great. And then there's Nyne, who are my favorite band in this subgenre [for their excellent balance between "sounds like the kovenant" and "sounds like death getting nuked"] and they have a free four track demo on their website and their myspace, but nothing else. Support underground Industrial Black Metal!

Wacken - there and back again..
9. Aug. 2007, 22:01 von Nyut
So there goes yet another Wacken Open Air 2007 journal.. But not only. ;) Where to start, let's see..
Early March 2007
Two girls are sitting in a pub sighing. One says "I wanna go to Wacken." *another sigh*. The other replies "I wanna go to Wacken too." *sighs as well*. First says "Let's go then!". The second replies "OK, let's go!".. and both purchased their tickets in a week.
July 30th, 2007
Time to go. Everything is packed - rucksacks, tents, sleeping bags, clothes, food.. And, most importantly, The Tickets. Everything one would need for such journey.
By that time others had joined our humble party so in the end there were eight of us at the Sofia Central train station where our 40-hour journey began by boarding the night train to Belgrade.
July 31st, 2007
We arrived in the Serbian capital two hours later than expected, at about 7 AM, which was good actually because this way we only had to wait for another 30 minutes to catch the next train to Wien.
I guess this is the time to mention that I left my country for the first time ever because of W:O:A. A good reason to do it, as a friend of mine once said. So my first impressions of the foreign lands were that.. the Earth is flat! Just kidding.. Or am I? Actually, from Belgrade almost all the way to Wien the land was indeed flat. No hills, no nothing, just endless (corn)fields.
Anyway, at the Wien train station a very rude employee told us that there were no seats for our train without any further explanation. Some of the more sensitive members of our group almost had a heart attack at that point. We ran to the train which was to leave in 10 minutes and found another employee there - a very nice lady which told us that there are plenty of seats, they just stop selling them some time before departure. Some of the more sensitive members of our group took a deep breath of relief at that point.
Immediately after that signs of the upcoming event started emerging - metalheads screaming "Wacken!" and compartments loaded with as much beer as other luggage made me finally realize what I was up to..
August 1st, 2007
Early morning on the train to Hamburg. Very early. About 1 or 2 AM. The train stops in the middle of nowhere. Horrible smell fills the air. People in uniforms run back and forth in the passage. Some carry fire-extinguishers. Others are out and look under the coach next to ours. It appeared that its breaks burst in fire.
Fortunately, within less then an hour everything was back to normal (only the smell remained for a while to remind us that it wasn't just a nightmare) and we were heading to Hamburg at full speed. So full that we got there right on time despite the ordeals that night.
While getting near the train station I noticed the most beautiful bell tower I've ever seen (not that I've seen many though but still..) It was in Gothic style which immediately took my attention and didn't leave my thoughts till we got in the city for the second time on our way back. I just knew I had to take a closer look before getting home. But as I said, this is a story from the return journey.
Now back to present. Morning. Hamburg train station. Bad news - no early trains back to Wien, we'll have to spend over 12 hours in town on the 5th. Did I say "bad news"? Well, bad for some, good for me and my tower.. But it's still 1st so.. Supermarket. Food, beer and Pepsi (yeah, I'm the Pepsi freak), then hop on the Itzehoe train. Metalheads everywhere. Shuttle-bus to Wacken. Half-full of people, half-full of luggage. One could hardly turn around. All kinds of languages reached my ears from all directions.
And there we are - on Wacken land at noon. A sign over the road greeted us: "Welcome Metalheads!" We got our festival bracelets and full metal bags and headed for the camping grounds.
First impressions: mud everywhere, smell of cattle and swamp.. Later we heard that it had rained for a whole week just prior to our arrival. They played a video between the concerts showing the preparations for the festival, the whole process of building the stages, placing layers of dirt, wood chops and straw on the festival area so that they are all ready for us. In my humble opinion, these people are heroes *bows*.
We decided to camp in sector A, near the main entrance, put up our tents and left on a reconnaissance mission. While walking around we found another Bulgarian camp but its inhabitants obviously had the same mission as ours so only the national flag was waving at us. Later we found them and I met a friend there whom I haven't seen for six years.. Nice place for such events, over 2000 km away from home.
We spent the rest of the day walking around the village. A beautiful one I must say, very tidy and stuff.. when there are no metalheads around. And at this time there were thousands of them walking and talking and shopping and drinking, and much more were still coming by cars and busses, and there were even more to come on the next day.
In the evening some of us went to the metal disco and karaoke, and others like me decided to have some sleep. Impossible task. I could hear the music from the disco as if I were there myself, some guys nearby were playing something different, others were screaming "Spiderschwein!" and "Helga!", every now and then someone would trip on our tent's ropes so I kept wondering which of them would leave us homeless for the rest of the festival by falling over the tent. Anyway, nothing bad happened except that it was so damn cold that night..
August 2nd, 2007
Early wake up in the morning sun, quick breakfast and another tour through the village and to the supermarket.
And finally at 5 PM it was time for the first band to play. It was Blitzkrieg on the Black Metal (BM) stage. Don't really remember much of them though, I was just way too excited at that time. Then we moved to the Party stage for some Narziss and Neaera impressions. Both of them were new to me but I liked them a lot. And during their performance I learned what "a wall of death" means.. And saw the largest circle pit ever. And kept hearing "Spiderschwein!" from all over the place, including from the bands on stage.
Slowly moving to the WET stage (which was literally wet, most of it was a muddy puddle and a lot of the people stayed outside thus not being able to hear anything; I was one of those brave who ventured to wade through to find some good spot inside) we watched people stuck to their knees in the mud, struggling to get out, others lying on the straw like sardines, still others walking around dressed in any possible way one can imagine.. There was even this huge pink Easter bunny caring a large cross on his shoulders. Nice pictures everywhere you look.
We got there right on time for TYR. Surprisingly, I quite liked their performance. And I say "surprisingly" (even though I like their music in general) just because I heard too many negative comments about them playing live that I started believing this would be a poor one as well. They stood well on stage, played with joy and the audience reacted in a respective way.
Next came the greatest surprise for me - Letzte Instanz. I'll repeat myself by saying that I like their music from before and was eager to see them live. But what I saw exceeded all my expectations. Their songs sounded so lively, all band members too - none of them stood at one place for more than a minute, even the guy with the cello (which was also amazing in form).. I had so much fun during these 45 minutes, it was an incredible performance.
After that I joined a friend for Hatesphere on the Party stage but couldn't get much of what they were playing - I was still enjoying the earlier experience in my head so didn't pay much attention to what was happening on this stage.
August 3rd, 2007
That night I slept like a baby. No drunk people tripping around were able to disturb me till about 7 AM when it was already too hot in the tent so I had to crawl out.
At 11 SuidAkrA opened this day's performances on the BM stage. Haven't heard of them before (shame on me) but liked their style very much (I'm quite into this kind of music actually so that makes one more band to enter my playlist these days).
And then there was fire. Literally. Some stupid careless kids lit the straw in front of the True Metal (TM) stage. From our position we could only see the thick smoke coming from that direction. Interesting thing was how calm everyone was. No screaming, no panic at all. At one point the people on the TM stage asked us to move in front of the BM stage so that we make room for the firefighters to come. Slowly the whole crowd gathered there, and soon it was all over. Only a very muddy area reminded of the fire that took place earlier.
Right after they announced that Amorphis will play an hour later then scheduled I ran to the store for some refreshments because the sun was getting more and more aggressive that day and (as one of the guys in our group predicted) got back for Napalm Death's Scum. Good thing I didn't return earlier, I knew they aren't my cup of tea but live they are almost unbearable.
When Amorphis got on stage they simply blew our heads out. It was all just awesome, no other words to describe it (I guess I should stop using all those superlatives but seriously doubt I can do so having in mind all the bands that were still to come).
Good decision was to take places right in front of the screen between BM stage and TM stage so that we only had to turn a little to watch the next band playing. Which in this case was Therion. Another great show, with the corresponding costumes, theatrical sets and reading from sacred books.
Then a quick jump to the Party stage let me relax a little with Volbeat - very nice band, I enjoyed them a lot. After them I got back to the TM stage to get a glimpse of Grave Digger who unfortunately couldn't make a great impression on me - they are too.. how to put it.. classically heavy for my taste. Dinosaurs of some sort, no offence meant. Falconer on the Party stage got my good mood back, and then it was time for a break..
At 8 PM Lacuna Coil blew up the crowd in front of the BM Stage with a magnificent performance, as expected, followed by the headliners - Blind Guardian (which were the only band I watched live for the second time) on the TM stage. To be honest, I liked their Sofia gig way better although the sound in Wacken was beyond comparison. Even so, the Bard's Song crowd singing sounded much poorer on W:O:A than in Bulgaria. A major plus was that the set lists of the two gigs were different. Since they played almost one and same thing during their Europe tour in spring, it would've been a huge mistake not to change it. Also (not that it has any connection) I personally helped at least five crowdsurfers to make their way towards the stage.
After that I again ran to the Party stage for the Schandmaul show. In the beginning I felt somewhat sad I had to miss Dimmu Borgir but during the second or third song this feeling disappeared completely. For this hour and 15 minutes of pure joy I would gladly miss quite a lot of other bands. In the pause between two songs they mentioned this "Spiderschwein" thing again but sadly it was still in German context.. So I decided it's high time that I ask someone. I chose this cute kid standing right in front of me and he readily explained this word's origin in such theatrical manner that I wished I had my camera on to record it. Hey kid, if you read this, I really want you to know how grateful I am to you for enlightening me on what I was wondering at during the last three days thus putting me out of my non-Simpsons-fan misery. ;) Not that I'm a Simpsons fan now but still.. Thanks again.
That night I also wanted to see Die Apokalyptischen Reiter on the BM stage but unfortunately there were still Iced Earth to play before that and there was nothing better on the other stages. So I slowly made my way through the crowd in front of the TM stage to the screen in the middle. I still don't understand why there are always people that would try to push you back even though there is no way that I prevent them from seeing the stage - quite understandable since guys are usually taller than me. And I also always find a way around such people. I wonder if they'd try to push or hit someone bigger then them.
Anyway, it took me about 15 minutes to get where I wanted to but since Iced Earth weren't doing any better live then on CD, I started freezing. Finally, after an hour and a half, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter came out but by that time I was so cold and tired that I only managed to watch three songs and left for the warmth of my sleeping bag. On the way I dropped at the WET stage for a Kampfar song but soon hurried back to our tent.
And so the longest festival day was over at about 2:30 AM.
August 4th, 2007
I was the only one who managed to sleep till 11 despite the heat in the tent. I just had to get some rest because of what was to come from this afternoon on..
At about 1 PM we left for the Moonspell gig on the BM stage. I was waiting to see them live for ages, they were among these bands that made me dream of going to Wacken in the first place. And here comes the only fault of the whole festival organization - how is it possible to place a band like Moonspell to play right after noon? Imagine listening to Fullmoon Madness under the melting sun.. This fact ruined it all for me, and as I hear and read - for quite a lot of others as well. I hope one day I'll get the chance to attend one of their gigs and get the real feeling of watching and listening to them live.
I was feeling so badly because of the heat and the recent disappointment that I left the festival area right away. On my way out I heard a couple of songs by Stratovarius whose performance I decided to exchange for a long quiet walk to the supermarket. Later I got back to the camp and since most of the guys were already packing I started getting my own stuff ready for a quick leave that night.
Then my 7-hour stay on the WET stage began with The Vision Bleak followed by Swallow the Sun. Both bands performed a lot better than I expected and quickly managed to make me forget about Moonspell and get back to enjoying the festival.
When they finished, somewhere in the back a few guys started a mud fight. The crowd immediately gathered around them while they were throwing inflatable beer trays at each other and trying to get as dirty as possible. Fans started gathering around the stage at about the same time - fans with coloured faces and furry outfits so it was quite obvious whose turn it was to get on stage.. Turisas appeared with To Holmgard and Beyond in their usual costumes, all covered in blood and kept us screaming, and shouting, and dancing, and headbanging all the way to Miklagard Overture which put an end of this awesome show - one of my highlights of the whole festival. Heh, now I also know how headbanging while playing the accordion looks like..
Next were Benedictum who I weren't familiar with but seeing them live didn't make me want to get to know them any better.. They got on stage a little late and played a little too long so at that moment the schedule on the WET stage started falling behind. I hoped that they would at least make the pauses shorter because I had some plans for seeing other bands outside a couple of hours later. Well they didn't, the delay was even getting longer by the hour.
Anyway, I was waiting for Moonsorrow with interest since I quite like their recordings. To be honest, on stage they looked so funny that I couldn't really enjoy the way they played.. It seemed to me that they don't feel comfortable at all and are doing things exactly as rehearsed in front of the mirror. They kept doing one and the same reconfigurations and moves on the stage in regular intervals while trying to make scary faces (having so boyish faces appeared to be a major obstacle), not to mention that going out half-naked and covered in blood wasn't such a good idea after Turisas' show, especially when the rest of your outfit consists of some regular jeans.. All this comes to say that I expected much more from these guys in terms of stage performance.
Then it was time for Municipal Waste whom I only stayed to watch because there was no time to go out, see some other band (e.g. Type-O-Negative who were playing at the same time) and get back. Not so bad decision since that way I kept my perfect spot near the stage and witnessed another circle pit, and yet another wall of death, both even more impressive than the first ones. The music wasn't easy to bear though but I focused on the crowd gone mad and later realized I actually did enjoy it.
And finally it was time for Unheilig - another band I was impatient to check out live. And they didn't disappoint me at all. They played all my favourites, Der Graf's voice felt like crawling on my skin all the time and didn't let me take a breath till the very end.
By that time we were already 40 minutes behind schedule so I had to run to the Party stage to see Haggard. But I couldn't run, I was way too exhausted by Unheilig so I only managed to hear the last song Haggard played (which was quite impressive, I'd love to see them again some other time), then immediately headed for the TM stage to watch the last band for this year's W:O:A - Subway to Sally. Lots of pyrotechnics, awesome music and stage performance.. This was a brilliant finish to a great festival.
August 5th, 2007
At 3 AM, right after Subway to Sally's gig, we hurried back to our camp, packed the rest of the tents and ran to catch the first shuttle-bus to Itzehoe. As far as the announcement went, there should have been six busses every half an hour starting at 3 AM. The first one came at 4.30 and by that time the bus stop was crowded - apparently a lot of others decided to leave early to avoid the heavy traffic in the morning. Somehow our whole group managed to get on the first bus. Inside it was even more crowded than on the day we arrived. Everyone was still screaming "Spiderschwein", at one point one of the guys started telling a story and after each sentence the others sang some tune to support him. Unfortunately my German can't be any poorer so I couldn't get even the slightest idea of what he was talking about but still it was real fun.
When we reached the town in about half an hour, we immediately boarded the train to Hamburg and I managed to get a couple of hours sleep which I knew was all I'd get till the night train to Wien over 12 hours later. Already in Hamburg, we had some breakfast in the nearby McDonalds - my first and most probably last visit at this chain. Half an hour later we were hungry again. While walking along the river I noticed my tower somewhere in the distance and immediately got all my strength back, determined to get there that day despite all the skepticism radiating from the others. Slowly we moved in the right direction until we found a park and some of the guys decided to have a nap there. Those of us that were still hungry left to look for another McDonalds somewhere around because we had seen a sign on the way and had nothing better at hand but fortunately found a Burger King instead. Fortunately because the Burger King's stuff tasted much better and was able to satisfy our hunger for quite a while.
Later when all the others got back to their feet we resumed our slow march towards the tower of my dreams. And we reached it in another couple of hours. I can honestly state this ordeal was worth it - it was even more beautiful than expected. After I spent some time enjoying the view from all sides and angles we left the place and moved towards the city-hall - another beautiful building in the city center. Then some perky swans tried to peck our hands, probably expecting to find food in them. Wrong assumption. And finally we left for the Central station to get the train back to the Altona station from where our Wien train was to leave. Late in the evening we were finally able to have some real sleep.
August 6th, 2007
I only woke up 15 minutes before arriving in the Austrian capital. We switched trains and most of us kept having naps every now and then all the way to Belgrade. And here comes one of the most stressful situations on this journey - the train was late and we only had 9 minutes to find the one to Sofia and get on it.. Surprisingly enough, not only did we manage to do so but we even found some places in the sleeping couch. We stuffed all our luggage at any empty space available and got to the beds.
August 7th, 2007
9 AM, Sofia Central train station. Home sweet home. The most exciting journey in my life so far was over. Our party dispersed right where it got together for the first time.
I still have my W:O:A bracelet on though. Each look at it reminds me of all the emotions that overwhelmed me during this awesome week and makes me dream about the next one.
Oh, I almost forgot.. Long live Spiderschwein! ;)

Tраш метъл: Студентът влиза залитайки в аудиторията, изяжда билета си, отговаря не по темата и си излиза.
Хеви метъл: Студентът пристига, яхнал чопъра, кьоркютук пиян, при влизането допива бутилка бира, хвърля я на катедрата, изтегля си въпрос, оригва се звучно, отговаря и си излиза.
Дет метъл: Студентът влиза, убива преподавателя и си излиза.
Блек метъл: Изпитваният пристига късно вечерта, завързва преподавателката и я провесва от тавана, след което жестоко я измъчва, оцапвайки масата, върху която е нарисувал пентаграма с кръвта на младенец.
Гор метъл: Влиза залитайки в аудиторията, изнасилва преподавателката, след това я убива, изнасилва я още веднъж, изкормва тялото и изяжда вътрешностите, размазва останките по цялата аудитория и отново я изнасилва.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this cheesy romantic comedy is squeaky clean and family friendly. That said, it's completely unbelievable and full of unrealistic notions about romance and love. Expect a bit of teen kissing and some mild misbehavior.

What's the story?
Emma and Lily Valentine are fraternal twins who have the gift of matchmaking. Their relationship is tested when they fall in love with the same boy. Meanwhile, their parents' relationship is falling apart. The sisters indulge in a little bit of competition, a dose of magic, and learn a couple of surprises along the way as they ensure that everyone ends up with their rightful match.
Is it any good?
Tweens and teens looking for a swoony love story with little racy content will gloss over the fact that it's filled with ridiculous plot points and frustrating twists and turns that make no sense. From the first scene, when a young woman is rescued from a car crash by a romantic figure who appears out of nowhere to the next moment when they're kissing and evidently madly in love, the fantasy elements of this straight-to-DVD movie fails to impress.
Families can talk about...
Lily and Emma did things they weren't supposed to do. We hear about celebrities doing this all the time. Have you ever done something you wish you hadn't? Were your intentions good or bad and how did it work out?
How does the movie portray romance and love? What kind of messages does the movie send about being in a relationship? What about being part of a family?
Lily and Emma have some special skills. What are your special skills? How can you use your skills to help others?

Hey all GB25 competitors!
First of all, tons of respect to you. This is one of the gnarliest, most grueling events I've ever heard of in skiing. It takes a lot to tackle this beast once, let alone 25+ times.
For all of you returning skiers, welcome back! It will be a blast watching you again. If this is your first time, I'm sure you've heard all about what you're getting into.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to ski with you this year in the event, but I'll be watching on my crutches! If I were skiing, I would make sure to have a good energy meal the night before, and that I'm properly hydrated before the event. Make sure you're getting plenty of food and fluids on your chairlift rides.
The weather has been great out here, make sure you remember your sunscreen! You don't want to be that person at the BBQ/after party that everyone is making fun of!
One thing that I have to think about as I'm getting tired is to keep my feet under me while skiing and not let them run too far ahead and put me in the backseat and get lazy.
I hope everyone has a great day out there and I will see you all at registration!
Pre-register for the Gunbarrel 25 by calling 530-542-5133 or check out www.skiheavenly.com/gb25 for event details.

Ticket quotas are one of those things that everybody knows exist, but no one is supposed to talk about. You talk to most cops about them, and they'll deny they even exist. They'll tell you it's all a myth. And the few cops that do acknowledge their existence and admit their propensity for abuse end up getting fired.
The reliance on ticket quotas to ensure a certain amount of revenue for the department, city and/or county varies per department. My brother-in-law is a cop, and he told me that their quotas are extremely easy to meet. Something on the order of 10 contacts per month, and that includes warnings. So, if you're not making those 10 contacts every month, you're likely not doing much at all.
Other places like the NYPD have much harsher quotas with promotions and bonuses available for the more aggressive cops who consistently meet or exceed the stated quotas. One of the obvious problems with having a quota system is how easy it is, even how necessary it is, to abuse it. Many times, the high quotas are completely unrealistic and unattainable unless cops get creative with what passes as "criminal" or "misdemeanor" behavior. They lower their standards way down until they're arresting and ticketing people for nothing. But at least that cop will get recognition from his boss and maybe even a dinner-for-two gift card at his favorite steak restaurant.
Paul Pizzuto, a cop in the NYPD, got fired for writing tickets to dead people. But he only did that because he couldn't meet the quota, even issuing as many as 150 valid tickets per month. His boss wanted more and threatened to transfer him if he didn't perform better. And since he couldn't get any more than that, he started issuing tickets to people who had long been dead, and he got fired. After all, dead people don't pay fines, so what good are they?
Officer Matthews, another NYPD cop, sued the department last year after he got fired, because he believes they retaliated against him for trying to expose their corrupt quota system:
"Central to the quota system are color-coded computer reports that categorize cops by the number of arrests, summonses and stop-and-frisks they carry out. Officers who fail to meet the reports are highlighted in red. Black ink is used to denote cops who are meeting the quotas, while silver is used to identify those who are meeting some quotas, the suit says. Matthews claims that officers who don't hit their numbers are subjected to a slew of punishments, including undesirable assignments and the loss of overtime."
Recently, an Auburn, Alabama cop was fired for trying to expose the same system. Reason magazine reported:

Sera M. Knight has been drawing and painting since childhood. She paints mainly in watercolour, acrylic and mixed media.
Tackling human figure and perspective has always been her favourite subjects but she enjoys the challenge of all subjects.
Regardless of the subject, to be able to use the light cleverly, create a mystical atmosphere together with technical and emotional strength is her aim.
Sera also paints on glass objects to the effect of stained glass and exhibits these separately. Born in Ankara, Turkey, Sera has a degree in Architecture.
She lived in Stavanger, Norway from 1980 to 1993 and worked as an architect in the oil industry.
Now living in the Woking area of Surrey, Sera is a member of various art societies and groups and exhibits her work regularly within these. She also teaches adult education classes and tutors private groups in mainly watercolour, mixed media and drawing mediums.
This includes galleries of original paintings of Ballet & Dance, Music, Boats, Street Scenes, Horses & Ascot Races.
Comment from lady in Australia who purchased one of Sera's Ballet & Dance calendars.
"I think all the paintings are beautiful - I'm an artist and when I saw Sera's work my heart just leapt- the images are like what I picture in my mind but can never get across. They capture the passion of dance and movements- her work is amazing. I brought a calender for my friend's daughter- she is 10 and a ballerina. For a while she was dancing at the Victorian School of Ballet and even recieved good reviews for her small role in Nutcracker but had to withdrawal due to financial struggles. I am hoping the calendar will keep her inspired until another opportunity comes around for her."

I hear that a lot with anime. Quite a few are left unfinished or they get a cheap ending. Already read the manga, but it wasn't the same without the music. There's supposed to be a live action movie as well.
Well I still liked the dub version better, but the story had more meaning in the subbed version and made more sense.


text: Have You Ever Lost Your Phone (and Gotten It Back)?Whitson Gordon3/15/12 10:30amFiled to: Ask the ReadersLost phontLostStolenTheftSmartphonesCellphonesRecoveryiosAndroid124EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink We've featured lots of ways to find your lost or stolen phone, but we're wondering how many of you have actually gotten your phone back after losing it. A recent experiment by Symantec purposely "lost" 50 smartphones in cities around the US. Symantec found that only 50% of of those smartphones ever had a chance at being returned, and even 96% of them were accessed by their finders—in more privacy-breaking ways than one: Advertisement Advertisement This may have started as an attempt to discover the owner of the phone, but our research shows that the finders of these devices had what can graciously be called a curiosity about more than the name of the owner. Case in point:Six out of 10 finders attempted to view social media information and email.Eight out of 10 finders tried to access corporate information, including files clearly marked as "HR Salaries," "HR Cases", and other types of corporate information.If you are in any way associated with securing a company's valuable information, those are pretty striking numbers. However, it is not just business-related information that is at risk and a cause for legitimate concern. Our "honey stick" smartphones also had an application that appeared to allow access to a remote computer or network. Surely, people wouldn't go that far. Well, one out of every two finders tried to run the "Remote Admin" app.Apart from being yet another warning to lock your device, this study piqued our curiosity. I've never lost my phone, but I've returned two or three that I found on the street. We're wondering: have you ever lost your phone, and if so, did you ever get it back?

In truth, Rodney Harrison's arrival in Foxborough was the first sign that Lawyer Milloy was a goner.
When Harrison left San Diego after being dumped for salary reasons and found his way to New England, Patriot fans were salivating. First of all, how in the world could the Chargers be so stupid in letting this guy go? Second, and most important, with a safety tandem of Harrison and Milloy, a return to the pinnacle of the NFL seemed certain.
Well, they got back to the pinnacle. Harrison's first two seasons as a Patriot produced some beautiful bling at season's end. But the ironic twist is that they won both Super Bowls with Harrison, but not with Milloy.
Not everyone was looking at this deal and thinking "Wow, what a safety tandem this will make!" For one thing, both Milloy and Harrison were strong safeties. Tebucky Jones, once a symbol of Bobby Grier drafting non-smarts, was the starting free safety on the team which won Super Bowl XXXVI. But Jones had been traded to New Orleans (for the draft pick that would eventually become Corey Dillon), so the free safety spot was open. But the thought of Harrison or Milloy playing free safety didn't sit real well, considering that Harrison was more of a heavy hitter and Milloy was lousy in pass coverage. But both men could quarterback a secondary with the best of them.
Then on September 1, 2003, Harrison became the unquestioned strong safety on the team. Milloy was released in what was at the time an earthshattering event. Tom Brady was nearly in tears when the news media asked for his take on Milloy leaving, and Brady wasn't even a defensive player. Milloy was signed literally the next day by Buffalo, and four days later was in the starting lineup at Ralph Wilson Stadium for the Bills against, naturally, the Patriots.
The resulting 31-0 pasting the Bills laid on the Patriots seemed to signal a new era for the Patriots, and it did, but not what fans and experts might have foreseen. Instead of the Bills entering an era of dominance, it turned out to be the high water mark in the Buffalo careers of both Drew Bledsoe and Milloy. The Patriots paid the Bills back at season's end with a bookend 31-0 win at Gillette Stadium, nailing down the one seed and paving the way to a win in Super Bowl XXXVIII.
Harrison said on an NFL Films documentary of that season that his team "stunk", using instead a more colorful version of that adjective, when describing his feelings towards that season opener against the Bills. Since then, Harrison took hold of the secondary, helped with the conversion of Eugene Wilson from cornerback to free safety, called out all the assignments for the defensive backs, and the Patriots went on to win Super Bowls in each of Harrison's first two seasons. Harrison's real worth to the Patriots, as well as possibly another harbinger of how things would work out with he and Milloy, was best explained when the team voted him a defensive captain right off the bat.
Harrison retired from the NFL and the Patriots on Wednesday, and he will continue his relationship with the league through broadcasting duties at NBC. Harrison, who helped out on coverage with the last Super Bowl, will join the Football Night In America show (along with former Indianapolis head coach Tony Dungy) and offer the same kind of hard-hitting commentary which defined his entire career.
And if you have spent a lot of time watching Harrison play, you can expect some comments which will deliver similar crunching hits on NBC.
Harrison, a fifth round draft pick in 1994 by the Chargers out of Western Illinois, made an impact on the Chargers almost immediately. His rookie season was marked by a stunning 17-13 win by the Chargers at Pittsburgh in the 1994 AFC Championship Game, only to see Steve Young and the 49ers run roughshod over the Bolts in Super Bowl XXIX, 49-26. In finally escaping the shadow of Joe Montana, Young threw for a Super Bowl record six touchdown passes. But it was Harrison's defense which had to withstand the sting of such an offensive onslaught.
Harrison spent the bulk of his career building a reputation for himself, and sometimes that reputation took a hit, no pun intended.
Harrison was always known for his hard hits, and sometimes he wound up getting the worst of it instead of his opponents. Harrison, according to a Globe article, was fined upwards of $200,000 in his career for excessive hits and such. He was suspended for one game in 2002 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Oakland's Jerry Rice. He was a Pro Bowler only twice in his career, which, according the Globe article, may have been a sign that he was viewed as unpopular around the league because of his alleged "dirty" hits.
Harrison always claimed that he was "passionate" and not "dirty". The best way to back up that claim is to look back at Super Bowl XXXVIII and explore perhaps the biggest reason Patriot Nation should love this guy forever.
We take you to a two-play sequence in the fourth quarter. Carolina receiver Steve Smith caught a left sideline pass for 22 yards. He was covered by Tyrone Poole, but Harrison delivered a bone-crunching hit to Smith in midair, knocking him out of bounds. Unfortunately, the only bones crushed were those of Harrison, who broke his forearm on the play.
There was no time for Harrison to get off the field, so Harrison had to play one play with a broken forearm. Jake Delhomme tried another left sideline throw to Smith, but Ted Washington was there to cover the play. So was Harrison, who ranged all the way to his right and threw himself at Smith, making sure he would not catch the ball. Harrison landed in agony on the Patriot sideline, and only then was the training staff finally able to assist Harrison.
He had his arm put in a splint and was escorted off to the x-ray room. But Wilson would also eventually leave the game, as on the next series he pulled a hamstring trying to cover Muhsin Muhammed on an 85-yard touchdown pass. With the game tied at 29 in the waning moments and with the Patriots forced to play Shawn Mayer and Chris Akins at safety, Harrison had to sneak out of the x-ray room, himself still in uniform and his arm still in a sling, and watch the game from the sideline. He wanted to be out there, not in some room watching on a TV.
The Patriots won, 32-29. The images of Harrison celebrating his first Super Bowl title are indelible. He had tears streaming down his face. The proverbial "tough guy" was bawling his head off, right in front of all those NFL Films cameras. Mr. Tough Guy was reduced to a crying baby boy, having finally achieved his dream of winning a Super Bowl. All Harrison did that day was reveal his true persona: He really was passionate and was not dirty, all the while being one tough and rugged player.
One might wonder how much longer he would have gone on playing with that broken forearm, if he had to. Leadership issues aside, that, and not all those alleged dirty hits, is the real Rodney Harrison.

By now you've undoubtedly seen the latest issue of Rolling Stone Magazine with Boston Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the cover. (I've decided to deface the cover, so I'm not promoting it in any way.)
After a huge public outrage, Rolling Stone Magazine has made a statement (read: backpedal) regarding the cover:
via RollingStone.com:
"Our hearts go out to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing, and our thoughts are always with them and their families. The cover story we are publishing this week falls within the traditions of journalism and Rolling Stone's long-standing commitment to serious and thoughtful coverage of the most important political and cultural issues of our day. The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is young, and in the same age group as many of our readers, makes it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens.
Now listen. I have no problem with the article itself. None. My problem is the cover, wherein this terrorist is shown to look like a teen idol. The 4th Jonas Brother, if you will. The image of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev actually reminds me of the cover of the late Jim Morrison.
Again, I don't want to shy away from reading an intelligently written article which profiles the man whom, along with his brother, plotted and carried out an act of terror upon the City of Boston…and the rest of the United States of America. I just don't want to see his "selfie", which shows "dreamboat, bedroom eyes and full, pouty lips" as if he were the Next Big Thing.

Art brut, (French: "raw art"), art of the French painter Jean Dubuffet, who in the 1940s promoted art that is crude, inexperienced, and even obscene. Dubuffet, the most important French artist to emerge after World War II, became interested in the art of the mentally ill in mid-career, after studying The Art of the Insane by the Swiss psychiatrist Hans Prinzhorn. Dubuffet applied the name art brut to the drawings, paintings, and doodlings of the psychotic, the naive, and the primitive, works that he regarded as the purest forms of creative expression. Like the early Cubists' discovery of primitive Oceanian and African sculpture, Dubuffet's study of this type of art gave him the inspiration he sought for his own art, as it represented for him the most authentic expression of emotion and human values.
Originally inspired by the childlike art of the Swiss painter Paul Klee, from the 1940s on, Dubuffet's paintings emulated the sincerity and naiveté that he associated with real art brut. The first of these works shows a childlike vision of humanity and civilization, with bright, gay colours and naive drawing. Later works, passionate and primitive, sometimes pathetic, sometimes obscene, incorporate forms derived from graffiti and psychotic art; painted in thick impasto or constructed in collage, these densely detailed and intensely expressive works convey a sense of teeming life and brutal force.

Palma de Mallorca is the largest of the Spanish Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean and is located just off the east coast of Spain. The island's coastline is marked by a series of small caves and beautiful beaches. Palma de Mallorca is the capital city of the Balearic Islands and nearly two-thirds of the total population live in Palma. The number of people greatly increases in the spring, as the island is a favorite European resort.

Angola's Oil Wealth Creates Economic Vulnerability, UN Says
Colin McClellandAngola, Africa's second-biggest oil producer, is caught in a paradox where the commodity's price has increased income while making the economy more vulnerable at the same time, United Nations officials said.
Per capita income in the OPEC member is $3,750 a year, more than three times the wage threshold to be classified as a middle-income country by the UN, Tesfachew Taffere, director of the UN Africa Division for Least Developed Countries, told a conference in Luanda, the capital today. However, an index of economic vulnerability has worsened since 2005 even as diversification increases, he said.
"Oil money is being used in construction, the service sector is expanding and internally there may be diversification, but in terms of export dependence, they are still vulnerable," Taffere said in an interview. "God forbid if next week the price of oil goes down."
Crude oil pumped by companies such as Total SA and Chevron Corp. makes up 97 percent of exports and 80 percent of tax revenue. Angola is seeking middle-income status to help it rebuild from a 27-year civil war that ended in 2002 by gaining access to credit guarantees that lower the cost of public investments containing private funding. The World Bank forecasts the $114 billion economy will expand by 7.2 percent this year.
The UN said it's allowing Angola's income level to be the only measure for it to qualify to middle income status by 2020 because rapid prosperity from oil should allow socio-economic transformation. Typically countries also need passing grades in health and education or a measure of external risk to the economy, areas Angola currently doesn't meet.

In this lecture, Bob Gravani, professor of food science, explores the importance of food science and technology and how it influences food products. Food storage life, for example, can be modified using preservation technology but those modifications often change the form and nutritional components of the product.


text: Wrong. You can reach in the first four casts of any FnB spell and probably 3 SoCs. and if 25 warlocks does that, no more should be needed. This is tested up to 5 or 6 at least, idk beyond that. It's not as useful as before, but it still hits a fair amount of charges on the 3-4 first casts. Still worth taking for that reason.

Chicago Diesel Slumps to 21-Month Low Before Lemont Restart
Christine HarveyChicago diesel slid to a 21-month low relative to futures as Citgo Petroleum Corp.'s Lemont, Illinois, refinery prepared to start a unit and add to production in the U.S. Midwest.
Ultra low sulfur diesel in Chicago fell 5.5 cents to a discount of 24.5 cents a gallon against futures at 2:34 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the weakest level since April 18, 2012, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The state of Illinois said Citgo submitted a restart plan for a vacuum distillation unit at the 170,500-barrel-a-day Lemont refinery. The plant plans to begin pre-start procedures on Jan. 29, said Scott Mulford, a spokesman for the Illinois attorney general's office.
Restart of the unit, which has been shut since an Oct. 23 fire, may add to diesel production in the U.S. Midwest, known as PADD 2. PBF Energy Inc.'s Toledo, Ohio, refinery was expected this week to start a hydrocracker that shut for eight to 12 days of maintenance around Jan. 13.
Regional output of distillate fuel, including heating oil and diesel, fell 120,000 barrels a day to 997,000 barrels in the week ended Jan. 10, according the Energy Information Administration.
Citgo's Lemont refinery produces several grades of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and hydrocarbon solvents, according to the company's website. The Toledo plant processes a slate of light, sweet crudes from Canada, the U.S. Midwest, the Bakken region and U.S. Gulf Coast.
Ultra low sulfur diesel in the Midcontinent, or Group 3 region, the area north of Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Minnesota and North Dakota, dropped 1.5 cents to 15.5 cents a gallon under Nymex futures, the lowest level in data going back to 2006.
The 3-2-1 crack spread in the Group 3 area, a rough measure of refining margins for gasoline and diesel based on West Teas Intermediate oil in Cushing, Oklahoma, dropped $1.04 to $15.18 a barrel. The same spread in Chicago also declined $1.04, to $13.78 a barrel, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The epic tour starring perennial boy bands New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys increases its show count by 16 with new dates in the U.S. and Canada.
New Year's Eve, Times Square, New York CityDecember 31, 2010
(AP Photo)
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a co-headline tour featuring the two biggest heartthrob groups of the last twenty years will sell tickets. The real mystery is why no one thought to do this sooner. After all, each group has a loyal fan core that has stuck with their heroes since the early days. Putting both acts on the road in a tour affectionately called NKOTBSB should have happened years ago.
But 2011 is the year where it all happens. While the original list of shows resulted in sell-outs and additional nights in major markets, the new additions represent yet more markets for the NKOTBSB juggernaut.
The first new date is June 28 in San Antonio, Texas, at the AT&T Center. While San Antonio is squeezed in between previously announced Dallas (June 26) and Phoenix (June 30), the 15 other new shows mean the tour has been extended past its original July 9 stopping point well into the end of the month.
The first new date in this section of the routing – July 10 in Vancouver, B.C. – is actually the second night for that particular market. The additions also include Edmonton at Rexall Place July 12; the Calgary Stampede July 13; Minneapolis at the Target Center July 15; Kansas City at Sprint Center July 16; Tulsa at BOK Center July 17 and St. Louis at Scottrade Center July 19.
The remaining new stops are Louisville (July 20), Orlando (July 22), Greensboro, N.C. (July 23), Columbus, Ohio (July 24), Indianapolis (July 26), Cleveland (July 27), Atlantic City (July 29) and Hershey, Pa. (July 30).
Tickets for the new dates go on sale Jan. 15. For more info, click here for the NKOTBSB website.

text: Legendary cryptids who turned out to be absolutely realAlasdair Wilkins6/23/11 5:46pmFiled to: Weird ScienceRepublished36EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink When we think of cryptozoology, we usually think of Bigfoot, the Yeti, and the Loch Ness Monster, creatures that are - let's face it - probably legendary. But some cryptids are real: just ask the platypus, okapi, and giant squid. Advertisement Of course, all of those are former cryptids - they've long since been "officially" discovered. But the fact is that all these creatures were not so long ago considered the stuff of myths and hoaxes by serious zoologists, and that something like the platypus was considered just as unlikely as Sasquatch. These are all real creatures that, at least for a moment, blurred the line between zoology and cryptozoology.Read more via io9 io9 Offers $2000 Bounty For Authentic Photos Of Cryptids This summer, io9 is going cryptozoological.

Earlier, we talked about new Dodgers pitcher Greg Maddux's pretty debut for Los Angeles, tossing a no-hitter for six innings and generally showing why it's always a pleasure to have a Greg Maddux on your team.AdvertisementOf course, one musn't forget the team that Maddux left, the Chicago Cubs, which has dealt with decades of futility and now must deal without the calming, adult, mature nature of a Hall of Famer in their dugout every night. It's about class; it's about dignity.But don't just take it from us; listen to former teammate Ryan Dempster:Advertisement"We've been sharing locker space for three years," [Dempster] said. "It's kind of weird not having him there to talk about golf or talk about pitching, farting on each other, whatever it is."We'll confess: It has many years since we played organized sports — high school, of course, four-year backup catcher in baseball and freshman year backup strong safety in football; our presence on the team was the equivalent of having a third-string kicker who's a girl — but we very much remember farting on our teammates before games. Of course, they didn't have greenies back then, so we needed something.By the way, that photo is of Dempster spraying Cardinals fans with a hose at Wrigley Field last week.
