In the wake of the disasters at the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, DC, a wide range of entertainment technology industry companies and individuals have pitched in to help with the relief effort. On the afternoon of Tuesday September 11, Musco Lighting received a call from the NYPD requesting the use of its mobile lighting trucks.

I've been saying for months that I've lost my cooking mojo. With the stress of last winter, then the craziness of Summer and camp, and now with the beginning of the school year, I just didn't have the energy or desire to come home and cook a meal.
But now, I'm into a rhythm with school again, and I'm into a groove with this whole South Beach Diet thing. In fact, there's a whole new page up in the menu bar up there ^ called South Beach Diet. (I wasn't very creative.) I'll post any recipes or update posts there as well as here on the main page.
I've been searching various recipe blogs, and at the suggestion of a reader, I checked out the blog Kalyn's Kitchen. What a goldmine that site is! There are HUNDREDS of recipes for all three phases of South Beach, and since I'm still in Phase 1, I was fascinated by the array of recipes that are Phase 1 friendly (meaning no sugar, flour, or really carbs of any sort outside of veggies.)
I was intrigued by this recipe for Turkey Chili Verde by Simply Recipes. And I can't leave well enough alone when it comes to recipes, I made a few changes.
- I used lean pork loin instead of turkey
- I didn't have chipotle powder, so I left it out
- I used dry oregano
The ingredients were a brilliant green, and took on each others' colors wonderfully.
Before I knew it, I was chopping, roasting, food processing, dicing… and I felt miraculously like myself. The sting in my eyes while I chopped the onions, the squish of the tomatillos, and the aroma of roasting garlic seemed to slowly repair something that I didn't know was broken.
The result was green, hearty, spicy, and delicious.
The toppings were simple: a lime slice, fresh cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco. Queso fresco doesn't melt for some reason, so it makes a great topping for most dishes. I did wish I had a touch of sour cream since the spice was a little out of control in some bites.
I have another green thing in the fridge… but I'm unsure that I'll share it with you. It's a dessert, and the verdict is still out as its still chilling. I'll let you know tomorrow.
So my dears, I'm happy to say…
My mojo is BACK!

Written by Gregg Brekke
The Rev. Laura Everett has been approved by the Massachusetts Council of Churches Board of Directors to become its next executive director.
The appointment of Everett, an ordained UCC minister who has served on the UCC's Council for Ecumenism, will be effective Nov. 1. She will succeed the Rev. Jack Johnson.
Everett has served as associate director of the Council since 2004. A graduate of Brown University and the Harvard Divinity School, she recently completed the Foundations of Christian Leadership Program at Duke University Divinity School.
"The United Church of Christ formed me for ecumenical ministry with our denomination's steadfast commitment to healing the divisions of the Body of Christ," said Everett. "I am grateful for that commitment and carry it with me as I work and minister with the 17 Orthodox and Protestant churches of the Massachusetts Council of Churches.
"As ecumenists, we stand with one foot in our particular tradition and one in the broader Church," she said. "As a Council of Churches, we stand with one foot in the Church world and one foot in the broader culture that we seek to transform. And as Christians, we must always stand with one foot on earth and one in the kingdom that is to come."
In its nomination statement, the search committee said, "Mentored in the ministries of the MCC, Laura knows us well, has built strong relationships in this community and with our ecumenical and interfaith partners. She has many gifts to lead the MCC in the opportunities and challenges of the years ahead.
"For several years, Laura has been immersed in the ministries and relationships of the ecumenical community in Massachusetts and elsewhere, and is well experienced and skillful in advocacy and justice ministries," the statement continued.

This morning I 'met' @dboudreau and chatted with him about web accessibility conferences. I also came across a tweet which linked to a blog post from John Foliot about the recent CSUN 12 conference. After reading the post I noticed that his comments about the need for accessibility advocates to be willing to discard the view that HTML pages must conform with HTML standards if this gets in the way of implementing non-conformant approaches (such as use of WAI-ARIA techniques) which enhance accessibility of web resources for people with disabilities. This view was relevant to a discussion I was having yesterday with @mjday so I tweeted the link to him.
I then saw a tweet from @hdzimmermann which had been retweeted by @wowter which linked to a report on The Future of Research Communication (available in PDF format). The report looked very interesting but, at 24 pages, was too long to read on my iPod Touch, so I favourited it so I could read it later. As I was aware that the report would be of interest to others, I also retweeted it. My suspicion that the report would be of interest was confirmed when I noticed that, shortly afterwards, @PlanetClaire and @antoesp themselves favourited my retweet.
Looking at my recent Twitter interactions (a feature which is now standard in the mobile Twitter app) I realised that I did not know who @antoesp, who had favourited my tweet. Looking at her Twitter biography I found that she is:
PhD candidate in the Education and ICT (e-learning) program – UOC, Barcelona. Submitted my MRes thesys on digital scholarship, IoE, University of London.
She also provided a link to her academia.edu page from which I learnt that her current research activities include:
social media and course design, research ethics in online settings, impact of ICTs in higher education institutions, digital scholars and open faculty, open educational practices and new models of higher education.
Looking at a post of hers on Cloudworks I found we had shared interests relating to open scholarly practices:
Investigating the relationship between emerging digital scholarship and open scholarship in higher education settings.
I sent @antoesp, a DM (Direct Message) asking if she'd be willing to write a guest post on this blog about her interests in open scholarship and was pleased to receive a speedy response agreeing to my request.
I then got out of bed!
Before I got out of bed, however, I reflected on how the world has changed in the past five years. Until a few years ago the notion that you would engage in engage in online discussions about your work would have been the stuff of dreams – or perhaps nightmares! Was I alone in such practices, I wondered? And so I asked:
Anyone else willing to confess to sending work-related tweets & emails while in bed from their mobile device #thingsIdidntexpect
It seems I am not alone with people responding:
*puts hands up*
yep, I do that occasionally
I confess.
All the time!
Forgive me Father for I have sinned #manytimes
I find that @DaGooses do it all the time! Me less so #BedWorkTweets
of course!
more often on laptop but pretty much everyday
guilty as charged m'lud
On the other hand a few people gave alternative views :
No absolutely not , you need to get out more Brian !
nope – would be more than my life was worth!
You're saying there are actually people who tweet re work from bed? To quote Sheldon, For shame! For shame!
The most insightful comment, however, came from Chris Gutteridge who said:
I do the most productive work for my job before I out of bed, generally. Office full of distractions.
I find that using Twitter in the way described in this post is useful in catching up with background reading (the links which are shared) and hot topics (the discussions which are taking place). In addition, as I found in my dialogue with @antoesp, Twitter can provide a lightweight tool to carry out business transactions.
Tweeting in bed could, of course cause domestic problems. I should add that at around 9am this morning while I was engaging in discussions with my Twitter stream my girlfriend was reading the Guardian App on her iPad. We are both comfortable with making use of our mobile devices when we're together – in a way perhaps because the technologies we use are so transparent to us that we don't regard them as technologies, just as we don't talk about the television technology, the cinema technology or the newspaper technology (although when it comes to sharing sections of the Guardian on a Saturday morning the print format is superior to the iPad app, especially when I want to read the Sport supplement).
However one comment highlighted addition possible concerns regarding such practices:
Yep, done that. But reading the Google Apps update blog at 3am was a particular work/life balance low.
This is a legitimate concern. But is it anything new? Weren't work/life balance issues still relevant before technologies became so pervasive, with pressures to take home excessive amounts of reports to read, which may have also been read in bed (although report-writing was probably restricted to the living room or study)? What do you think? Do you tweet in bed? Do you think this is unhealthy? Or do you feel that this enables you to have the flexibility to adopt working practices which you feel comfortable with? feel free to leave a comment or, if you'd prefer to leave an anonymous view, respond to the poll.

Oracle's board will meet within days to vote on a deal to bring Mark Hurd to the company in a top role, marking a rapid corporate rehabilitation for the ousted Hewlett-Packard chief executive.
Mr Hurd is unlikely to win the title of chief executive, which has been held since 1977 by Larry Ellison, Oracle's founder and chairman, who owns about a quarter of the database software giant. But almost any position would represent a coup for Mr Hurd after HP's board forced him to quit the company he had led for five years.
Mr Hurd was ousted from HP over questions about his handling of expenses following an allegation of sexual harassment of a female consultant. HP said that it had found no violation of its own sexual harassment policy but determined that expense reports filed by or for Mr Hurd were inappropriate.
The impending hiring could rejuvenate Oracle's efforts to compete head-on against HP, IBM and others in selling a variety of computing hardware. Early this year, Oracle completed its purchase of sophisticated computer maker Sun Microsystems for about $7bn after IBM and HP dropped out of the bidding process.
"I don't think you'll see a profound change in strategy with the addition of Hurd, but I do think you'll see a better ability to execute in the hardware business", said Brendan Barnicle, Pacific Crest Securities analyst.
That is more likely to involve further high-margin hardware acquisitions by Oracle than any move in computing services.
Mr Hurd would bring deep knowledge of the hardware industry, where HP gets the lion's share of its revenue. From a base in computers and printers, HP has been expanding through acquisitions into technology services, networking and, most recently, smartphones.
Oracle has long been a force in the most sophisticated databases for storing and analysing corporate information. But the acquisition of Sun concerned some investors because Oracle lacks experience in selling computers and storage gear.
Terms of the expected employment offer had yet to be finalised by Sunday, said a person familiar with the fast-moving developments. It was unclear whether Mr Hurd would outrank Oracle's two co-presidents, former Wall Street analyst Charles Phillips and Safra Catz, a former investment banker who also served as Oracle's chief financial officer until 2008.
Mr Ellison is personally close to Mr Hurd and has supported him in public comments, calling his dismissal "the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs many years ago".
On Sunday, Mr Ellison, Oracle and a representative for Mr Hurd all declined to comment.

Brad Pitt hey?? I have tried and tried, but just can't seem to see that Jay. Don't get me wrong you are a good looking fellow but.....Anyways, I am glad to see you guys are enjoying yourselves. Bri you are an excellent story teller and should maybe consider journalism when you get back. Love you both and miss you. Have fun.
Nihao Ma? (Translation: How are you?)
Trip Start
Aug 24, 2010
Trip End
Sep 01, 2011
Where I stayed
Our Apartment - Jhongshan Lu
Jay rode with me to school in the morning for my 9am class (as per usual, it was our first time trying to find our way on our bicycles....planning would come in handy sometimes...lol). We made it with plenty of time to spare!!.....4 minutes!! haha. With four minutes left on the clock, we walked around, trying to find the correct classroom....hmm...why are all the lights off?...where is everyone??....lol. Yup, you guessed it, once again...we were in the wrong place! Luckily, the next building we tried was correct.... So, there I am, in the advanced beginner class....so far so good. Conversations were fast and challenging...but I could understand and respond...next comes the textbook work....umm....the book was all in Chinese characters!!...where is all the pinyin he promised me??....Apparently, there isn't any pinyin....and I can't read Chinese! So much for my advanced conversations!...back to the Beginner One class! On the plus side, I will learn to read and write, so hopefully it will be easier to find a class back in Canada that I can fall into...it's hard to find only conversation classes!
So, now both of our classes are at 1:30 in the afternoon....in the air conditioning...lol. So it's perfect! Jay's class went well and I'm very impressed at how much he learned in one day!! He can have a full, but basic, conversation already!! And he's always trying to speak Chinese everywhere we go...he can already order our teas and is able to find out how much things cost....in one week of being here!! I'm very proud to call him my husband!...it helps that everyone here seems to think he is better looking than Brad Pitt and sexier than him too...lol....finally, he's found a country where they don't laugh at his white chicken legs....rather, they seem to be drawn to them! haha.
They've been doing some weird military training for the last couple days....apparently we live and study right beside...I mean RIGHT beside the air base! The planes are sooo loud at times and it is pretty cool! I guess we can feel safer knowing that they are practicing....or does that mean we should be afraid???...Jane, do you think they could be preparing for an attack?? Should we be worried??...haha...just kidding! It's very interesting to see what goes on here!
On our way to breakfast this morning (yes, on our fantastically, cool, stylish bicycles....they are rather funky compared to most others here...lol), Jay saw his first HUGE pig, stuffed full with various...we'll just call them "items"....with a beach ball looking thing sticking out it's rear end! It seems as though the temple across the street is setting up for a special celebration....Pig Roast, Chinese Puppet Shows, Cultural music....and don't forget the thousands of fireworks that will probably go off later today!
Our nice sunny day just turning into a TYPHOON!! Whoo Hoo!! The winds just started, the rain will probably come soon...wait a minute....darnit!...we need to ride our bicycles, uphill I might add, all the way to school! DOH! Oh well...just another adventure! We'll toss on our garbage bag rain ponchos and show the weather who's the boss! (or at least we will try!)
Our friend, Iver, took us to the "beach" the other day! Aahhh...the beach....white sand....palm trees....cool water....WHAT??!!! A big pile of jumbo rocks and meters from the rock cliffs??? But...she said a beach....ugh...beach, when spoken as a second language apparently means the "coast" or ocean edge....sigh. At least we had the palm trees!! haha, It is a wonderful coast, beautiful, colorful - we saw the most amazing sunset, not too crowded...words cannot describe the beauty that this country has!
We have yet to buy our scooters. We went to one place; however, seems as though the price was a little high....probably to make larger bets on the dog fighting that they probably do! Poor dogs...they tried to eat us!! Good thing they were in cages....I think they might have seen Jay's 'white legs" and thought it was fresh chicken or something....hahaha. The drooling, barking, growling, monsters almost got a bite!
We did get charged at by the neighbor's dog on our first night here! I thought I was done and cowered into the standing fetal position, while Jay prepared to kick the dog's head off...(or to feed it his leg..haha) whichever came first...lol. Luckily, there was an imaginary wall....or the Gods decided to play in our favor this time...and the dog suddenly stopped in it's tracks! Maybe the glare or reflection of the sun off of Jay blinded it for a minute...lol...not too sure! But we managed to continue on our way and the dog has never bothered us since.
Off to school we go!
Chicken legs...I agree, Brad Pitt...well the jury is out on that one. I definitely agree with Bri being a great story teller. Bri really knows how to keep her audience wanting more. I check the blog daily just to see if how things are going. We are glad you are doing well in your new town/city.
Take Care!!!

Let's just say if this rumor is true, it's a role worthy of Brienne of Tarth. Details after the jump! Badass Digest, which has either hit the motherlode of Star Wars: Episode VII insider info or has lost their minds making stuff up, reports that Christie will play an Imperial officer hunting down the deserting Stormtrooper rumored to be played John Boyega. Also, Christie has supposedly been seen training with a lightsaber — it's kind of weird to think about lightsaber-wielding Imperial officers, but this isn't the craziest Episode VII rumored we've heard. But maybe she's a Sith, Maybe she's a bounty hunter. Maybe she's all three. Who knows? One other thing: Supposedly Christie is playing a villain role which was originally intended to be a dude. Now, whether this was a case of Abrams hiring a badass for a badass role regardless of gender or a concerted effort to bring more diversity to the film after everyone complained that Episode VII was shaping up to be a "sausage party," I'm glad the change was made. When Brienne wields a lightsaber, everybody wins. Reply91 repliesLeave a reply

EPA: Water clarity not gauge of success
GRAND LAKE - The water in Grand Lake isn't clear and neither are the results - yet -of the recent alum pilot study.
An EPA official on Wednesday said it's too early to form any conclusions about the test and noted improved water clarity will not be the gauge of success.
Alum was added to sites at Harmon's Landing, the West Bank boat launch and a channel at Otterbein Retirement Community on Sept. 23 and 24. The state is trying to determine if alum (aluminum sulfate) can reduce the lake's toxic blue-green algae by taking away its food source. Alum binds phosphorous and causes it to drop to the lake's bottom.
"The goal is to bind the phosphorous and get it out of the water column and make it unavailable to the algae and that, in turn, should prevent future outbreaks," said Dina Pierce, Ohio EPA spokeswoman. "That won't be known until the results are put together and the patterns are analyzed."
The alum test will take 60 days. The Ohio EPA is now gathering data on levels of phosphorous, pH, dissolved oxygen levels and water clarity. Samples also are being taken from a control site to compare treated and untreated water. Curtains installed around each of the sites will be removed in November.
The data will be sent to Tetra Tech, the consulting firm hired by the state to design the alum study and analyze the results. The hope is that phosphorous levels will be reduced enough to decrease the toxic blue-green algae to a point that good, diatom algae can become dominant, a Tetra Tech official said.
Within a few hours after alum was applied in September, water clarity improved. At the Harmon's Landing site the clarity improved from a few inches to 41/2 feet in some areas, said Scott Fletcher of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
But as of Friday, the water clarity had returned to about what it was prior to adding the alum, said Lake Improvement Association (LIA) member Bill Ringo recently.
Pierce said improved clarity is not the gauge of success, though it would be a bonus. She noted many inland lakes in Ohio are murky, even ones that do not have extensive blue-green algae problems.
"The measure is going to be a phosphorous reduction which cannot be measured by looking at the water and seeing if it is clearer or not ... this takes a chemical analysis," she said. "The alum treatment, even if it is a success, is not going to produce a crystal clear lake," she added.
If alum is effective in reducing blue-green algae, the state will treat the entire lake in the spring at an estimated cost of $10 million, Fletcher said. The pilot project is being funded through a $250,000 Ohio EPA grant. Officials have said they "will leave no stone unturned" to find the money needed.
Fletcher noted a whole-lake treatment would be used as a short-term solution to reduce internal loading - phosphorous already in the lake.
During the temporary fix, the state plans to make changes in land management practices in the 98,000-acre Grand Lake watershed to reduce external loading - the amount of phosphorous running off land and into the lake. Most of the phosphorous comes from farmland, which comprises more than 80 percent of acreage in the watershed.
A second short-term solution being tested involves adding silica (sand) to the lake to feed the lake's good, diatom algae so it overtakes the blue-green algae. That test site is near the Celina Rotary lighthouse and began Aug. 31. This $25,000 pilot study is being funded by the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
Kaleigh Frazier, ODA spokeswoman, said a report on the silica study will be available in early November. No preliminary results are available, she said.
Massive toxic algae blooms led the state to place a no contact water advisory on the lake July 16. The advisory was downgraded on Aug. 26 to again allow boating after toxin levels dropped. They have continued to drop dramatically in recent weeks, but the lake still remains under a toxin advisory.

Largest U.S. Immigrant Groups over Time, 1960-Present
Largest U.S. Immigrant Groups over Time, 1960-Present
While the U.S. immigrant population is diverse, just a few countries of origin make up a large share of the total. This pie chart series shows which countries had the largest immigrant populations at various time periods between 1960 and 2015 (use the slider to select different years). For countries not in the top ten, the immigrant population is aggregated in the "other countries" category. The growth of this category over time indicates that the immigrant population comes from increasingly diverse national origins.
1) The term "immigrants" (also known as the foreign born) refers to people residing in the United States who were not U.S. citizens at birth. This population includes naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents (LPRs), certain legal nonimmigrants (e.g., persons on student or work visas), those admitted under refugee or asylee status, and persons illegally residing in the United States.
2) The figure for China excludes both Hong Kong and Taiwan (1990-2015).
Migration Policy Institute (MPI) tabulation of data from U.S. Census Bureau, 2010 and 2015 American Community Surveys (ACS), and 2000 Decennial Census; data for 1960 to 1990 are from Campbell J. Gibson and Emily Lennon, "Historical Census Statistics on the Foreign-Born Population of the United States: 1850 to 1990" (Working Paper No. 29, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC, 1999).

Anti-Pattern: Needless Fanfare (Turbo Tax)
While doing my taxes back in April I was constantly going back and re-entering information that would hopefully bring my tax payment down (numbers below are not my actual tax payment :-)
Here is the real time version.
When turbo tax recalculates your tax burden it plays the Biggest Loser TV show's game of running the values up & down in a random fashion. The change in the videos below is from $10,533 down to $9,177. However at one point it goes all the way up to $98,000! Now we all know that "inside the computer" calculations are not done this way. Someone thought this would be cool way to call attention to the change happening.
But let me tell you this is a horrible experience. It gave me a heart attack as it ran up & down playing with "my money" till it finally said "ok, ok it went down". But because it does this nonsense it makes it hard to see what change actually happened (a variation on change blindness).
Now watch it in slow motion to see what it is doing.
There are other ways to signal a change. The most common is to spotlight the change for a brief moment usually using a fade anything technique (see these examples.)
Torturing me is not a good user experience. This is as fake as the Biggest Loser scale.

A few years ago I worked for Intuit and did some work for Turbotax on their public site. One experiment was to give a slot machine effect.
( It's a tiny bit broked, but Click the checkboxes and click refresh)
Anyway, it looked better than what they are doing as you demonstrated. However, it had a "Vegas" sort of feel so eventually scrapped it. They really should do something that looks more like "calculating" and less like "Hey mama needs a new pair of shoes!"
This was a higher fidelity version without the slots. http://commadot.com/jquery/portfolio/turbotax/#pricingGuide - 6/25/2009 2:46 PM

Christine from TurboTax here. Thanks for the feedback - I'm checking with the development team about your experience with the product. I'll be back in touch as soon as I have more information to share.
BTW if you would care to help shape the way the future versions of TurboTax look/act, I invite you to join the TurboTax Inner Circle. This year more than 30 features in the product came as a result of this influential group's suggestions: http://www.turbotax.com/innercircle

Hi Christine. Awesome. As I mentioned Turbo Tax is the place I normally point people to for great design ideas. Obviously I am not a fan of this one approach :-)
I will definitely join the inner circle!
BTW, Rochelle one of your former VP, UX joins me here at Netflix as our Creative Director.
Thanks for reaching out. - 6/26/2009 9:36 AM

Christine here again. Just to clarify, you used the Mac product, right? Can you pls email me so I can follow up off-line with you? (Do you have my contact info via my registration here?)
BTW I am a huge Netflix fan - your CEO spoke at the Intuit "Creating the Offering" forum a few years ago - most enlightening. Also I've long been impressed by the Netflix Prize competition- genius! - 7/06/2009 3:04 PM

I had that EXACT same experience last year right after I added my K-1's to my taxes. It sucked big time. I had to watch my refund number fall from a very nice green 4 figure refund to a red 4 figure payment I owed. It felt like it took an eternity to finally settle in on the number. Uncool.
I'm happy you picked up on that though. I'm even happier that TurboTax seems to have taken note. - 7/15/2009 1:26 PM

Quote:eyrie,I don't know, with thousands of techniqe studies in our repetiore, all of which work, it's enough to keep one busy. Of course having a surgeon in our program for a long time, I've learned not to worry about what I'm not trained to deal with, such as medical knowledge.If the technique works, does the why, if you can really explain it, really matter?BTW, from long experience it's enough to learn how to make do correctly.I guess the difference is whether undersanding the underlying reason a technique works is more important than the study of the infinite ways techniques can be used effectively.

Quote:I see it as the other way round, I see the sweeping statements and continued use of the word "bunk" that puts those with the information being sought from giving it out? Dunno, different strokes and all that.Dim Mak books? Ready for a bombshell... I personally don't see Dim Mak or Kyusho as anything but the subject of intellectual research and something fun to play with. Although I'm a firm believer in the theory behind it, I have yet to meet anyone who can apply it practically. I'm actually with you on fact that in combat we should train general specific targets rather than dime sized targets. But I still thinking learning those dime sized targets and the effects is highly important. Take Spleen 10 as a great example, just above the inside of the knee. Get the angle and direction correct and you'll buckle someones knee easily with a single finger. Smash a full power knee or kick into the general area at the same angle and it'll go even better results. So books I'd recomend would be Dillmans and the DSI's. Use the points as hints for you power delivery and then practice delivering shed loads of power in at that angle. Studying Wave forms/Fajing/loose power/any other serious type of power generation methods will mean once landed you shouldn't need to do anything afterwards be it fire melts metal, metal cuts water or water gets you wet etc...

Sometime in the future, North America & South America are in a terrorism war. The South is relentless on the North, so the North builds the Heimdal, a super-cruiser battleship to eliminate the Southern Cross's main base of operations. But something sinister is at work on that ship...
The South bombs the Heimdal and lets loose ARK, an ancient organism breed for the extinction of humanity. It attaches itself to hosts & turns them into slobbering, sluggish monster that only want to spread the word and the disease.

Ah too bad :(,people won't have enough attempts left to fight the Lich King,and I wan to see a damn fight (on youtube ofc) of him so bad....>.<
ruf, kiez yo comment good baiBut awesome pointers on that thing, i was kinda confused oO
Pfft, c'mon. We all know <Premonition> on Sen'jin is going to do it first. In fact, I'd guess the only reason you haven't seen any ream/world firsts from them yet, is because they're waiting for the whole enchilada to be opened and they'll run through, and pop every boss in one attempt. LoL.
according to blizz, Frostwing hall is a different zone to the frozen throne You may want to edit that, i don't see them releasing 2 area's on one day.
Blizzard doesn't want to reveal anything about the Lich King fight, but I feel pretty certain we'll also see a limiting mechanic on Arthas himself. Maybe the one hour of attempts thing, or perhaps something different.
Do you really need so many attempts? So far ICC was not very "hard" but I could not visit the latest bosses, yet. Most Raidguilds will beat them in a few tries and PUGs will not wipe 20+ times before they break apart. So more attempts seem pointless. :)
We'll get to kill Arthas in February lol...Random person #1: "So, how did you spend your Valentine's Day?"Random person #2: "It was great, me and my (girlfriend / boyfriend) went out to dinner and they bought me a box of chocolates! What about you Steve?Steve the WoW player: "1t wuz awsum, w3 d1d 1CC n k3pt w1p1n 0n t3h l1ch k1ng, r1t3 b4 0ur l4st 4tmpt wuz up, w3 d0wn3d h1m n g0t ph4t 3p1x!11!1! and 1 g0t sh4d0wm0urn3!1!1!Both random people: ...................... that's umm, nice.Random person #1 to Random person #2 (silently): Promise me you won't turn into a WoW freak like that guy....Random person #2: WoW? Eeeew, you got nothing to worry about.*both laugh*
I like the attemp system. It makes that only good raid can get to the end and not just raid with lots of time.
My guess would be that this is Blizzard's attempt (har-har) to focus on guilds that have skill, versus say in Sunwell Plateau where it was widely guessed that the world firsts were a result of guilds wiping on the bosses for 5+ hours on the bosses, say for instance Nihilum on Eredar Twins.
Not such a bad idea.The top guild on my server would wipe 60+ times a week for over a month trying to get 0 lights. Any monkeys could do it after 240 attempts.
what happens when u run out of attempts?
Is it just me or is this blog just becoming MMO-Champion's followup? Seem to just have a post over there of this information followed a couple days later with a blog post here. Don't get me wrong, its good information, just seeming to lack originality.

The 21st century has not been kind to the U.S. economy: the annual rate of GDP growth for the past 12 years, once all the data are available, probably will prove to be about half the 3.5 percent annual rate the country enjoyed from its founding to the late 20th century.
One key factor behind this trend—at least in recent years—is the shrinking percentage of workers in the U.S. economy, according to economist Richard Vedder. A senior fellow at the Independent Institute, Vedder makes his case in an op-ed that appears in today's Wall Street Journal.
In 2000, there were eight more workers for every 100 working-age Americans than there were in 1960, but since 2000, more than two-thirds of that increase has been erased. If the proportion of workers hadn't fallen, the U.S. economy would have been growing probably at least 2.2 percent each year this century instead of 1.81 percent.
Vedder attributes the main cause of the trend to public policies that have reduced the incentive to work—especially changes in four particular federal programs:
Vedder, who co-authored the award-winning book Out of Work: Unemployment and Government Policy in Twentieth-Century America, hastens to add that other factors have also dampened U.S. economic growth. He also notes that policymakers could adopt a variety of productive measures to increase employment—such as adopting a more worker-oriented immigration policy and cutting taxes on work-related income.
"Most American recognize the need to reduce government spending to rein in the national debt," Vedder writes. "But there is another reason to cut government spending for specific programs: If more people have less incentive to stay out of the work force, they might seek jobs and help spur economic growth."

installing factory fogs on my laredo
i would like to install factory fog lights on wj laredo this jeep didnt come with them from factory so on the bumper cover were the fog lamp is supposed to go there is a grill i checked behind the grill and there is no backing plastic plate or anything to where the housing would screw on to ... is their a tutorial to were it shows me how to i searched the forums but i only find em for the wk which seems a hell of alot easier and i know and understand wiring ive wired alarms and sound system electric fans, hids in the past so this shouldnt be a problem ill just wire a relay and a aux switch thanks in advance for help
Re: installing factory fogs on my laredo
I would suggest getting a bumper cover from a junk yard that already has fogs in it. Then if im not mistaken all you need is a relay and a new multifunction headlight switch.
Re: installing factory fogs on my laredo
thanks i think i might as well do that rather than going with the trouble on this do u guys know if like the 04 grand cherokee bumper cover would bolt right up to mine?

Calcium and Bone HealthDecember 3, 2008 Bones play many roles in the body. They provide structure, protect organs, anchor muscles, and store calcium. Adequate calcium consumption and weight bearing physical activity build strong bones, optimizes bone mass, and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life. For more information on bone health and osteoporosis please visit the National Osteoporosis Foundation.* Peak Bone MassPeak bone mass refers to the genetic potential for bone density. By the age of 20, the average woman has acquired most of her skeletal mass. A large decline in bone mass occurs in older adults, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. For women this occurs around the time of menopause. It is important for young girls to reach their peak bone mass in order to maintain bone health throughout life. A person with high bone mass as a young adult will be more likely to have a higher bone mass later in life. Inadequate calcium consumption and physical activity early on could result in a failure to achieve peak bone mass in adulthood. OsteoporosisOsteoporosis or "porous bone" is a disease of the skeletal system characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. Osteoporosis leads to an increase risk of bone fractures typically in the wrist, hip, and spine. While men and women of all ages and ethnicities can develop osteoporosis, some of the risk factors for osteoporosis include those who are
To find out more about the prevalence and risk factors associated with osteoporosis, please visit the National Osteoporosis Foundation.* CalciumCalcium is a mineral needed by the body for healthy bones, teeth, and proper function of the heart, muscles, and nerves. The body cannot produce calcium; therefore, it must be absorbed through food. Good sources of calcium include
Recommended amount of calcium vary for individuals. Below is a table of adequate intakes as outlined by the National Academy of Science.
Vitamin D also plays an important role in healthy bone development. Vitamin D helps in the absorption of calcium (this is why milk is fortified with vitamin D). For more information on calcium and children visit the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). Weight-Bearing Physical ActivityRegular physical activity has been associated with many positive health benefits including strong bones. Like proper calcium consumption, adequate weight-bearing physical activity early in life is important in reaching peak bone mass. Weight-bearing physical activities cause muscles and bones to work against gravity. Some examples of weight bearing physical activities include
Incorporating weight-bearing physical activity into an exercise plan is a great way to keep bones healthy and meet physical activity recommendations set forth in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Adults: Engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity [on] most, preferably all, days of the week Children: Engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate physical activity [on] most, preferably all, days of the week For more information, visit Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Film focuses on the narcotics traffic on the Mexican border, where Charles Napier is a sheriff in the pay of the drug operator.
Film focuses on the narcotics traffic on the Mexican border, where Charles Napier is a sheriff in the pay of the drug operator.
Linda Ashton plays Cherry, his girlfriend, and Larissa Ely portrays Raquel, who takes on all comers. When the two ladies of the title get tired of it all with men, they try some Lesbian clinches. Flashes of nudes intersperse the unreeling every minute or so. Mebbe they're symbolic, they have no connection with the story. Meyer inserts plenty of violence in Harry's search for a Yaqui Indian who is leaving the gang for private enterprise. The Yaqui shoots it out with the sheriff in a bloody sequence, and kills a Mexican member of the gang in another bloody encounter after an exciting and suspenseful auto chase. Dialog is on the stag side. Cost was $90,000, up from Meyer's previous $70,000 budgets.Cherry, Harry & Raquel!

Glutamine Fuel Powder contains the amino acid L-Glutamine. Twinlab Glutamine Fuel Powder 4 Oz Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in skeletal muscle.
Twinlab Glutamin Product Highlights:
4500 mg of Pure L-Glutamine, the Most Abundant Free Amino Acid in Skeletal Muscle L-Glutamine is Essential for Serious Athletes Produces an Anti-Catabolic (muscle sparing) Effect Helps Increase Growth Hormone Release and Helps Enhance Muscle Metabolism Twinlab Glutamine Fuel Powder 4 Oz Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid (protein building block) in the body and is involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid. Glutamine is converted to glucose when more glucose is required by the body as an energy source. It serves as a source of fuel for cells lining the intestines. Without it, these cells waste away. It is also used by white blood cells and is important for immune function. Where is it found?
Glutamine is found in many foods high in protein, such as fish, meat, beans, and dairy products.
Why do athletes use it?
Some athletes say that glutamine helps boost the immune system.
Twinlab Glutamine Fuel Powder 4 Oz What do the advocates say? Glutamine is the most utilized amino acid in the body. Based on its biochemistry, glutamine is a good supplement for athletes. Glutamine is best taken consistently, on a daily basis, rather than just before or after a hard workout, to build up tissue levels.
Although glutamine is inexpensive and non-toxic, realize that you run the risk of upsetting the balance of the
How much is usually taken by athletes? The amino acid glutamine appears to play a role in several aspects of human physiology that might benefit athletes, including their muscle function and immune system. Intense exercise lowers blood levels of glutamine, which can remain persistently low with overtraining. Glutamine supplementation raises levels of growth hormone at an intake of 2 grams per day, an effect of interest to some athletes because of the role of growth hormone in stimulating muscle growth, and glutamine, given intravenously, was found to be more effective than other amino acids at helping replenish muscle glycogen after exercise. However, glutamine supplementation (30 mg per 2.2 pounds body weight) has not improved performance of short-term, high-intensity exercise such as weightlifting or sprint cycling by trained athletes,and no studies on endurance performance or muscle growth have been conducted.

Best Nike Air Griffey Max 1 Sneakers Factory -
The successful entrepreneurial idea and operation of the NIKE company is the important example for the development and renewing of that of the industry for sports. Nike, originally known as Blue Ribbon Sports, was founded by University of Oregon track athlete Philip Knight and his coach Bill Bowerman in January 1964. Now Nike has contracted with more than 700 shops around the world and has offices located in 45 countries outside the United States. Whether you opt for ordinary pairs of Nike shoes or you go for the most expensive shoes from this brand, you are guaranteed of pure comfort.air jordan pas cher
Even the most typical pair lessens the hard force of each downward impact while running or walking. If your shoes do not have enough protection, the hard impact that the feet is receiving can lead to damage. In order to prohibit further damage to the feet of the athletes, Nike has come up with an innovative system for feet cushioning. The makers of Nike shoes specially designed footwear which cushions and offers utmost protection from the brutal impact of running.

The two things we use most on a computer are usually the keyboard and the mouse and has been said plenty of times over years, neither provides much leeway for excitement or innovation. Still, once every so often someone manages to come up with something new and unique, and that's exactly what Logitech has done once again with the V550 Nano Cordless Laser.
Logitech has always been an innovator: it was the first introduce laser mice into the mainstream, to introduce a weights system for PC mice and the first with interchangeable grips. It also introduced Hyper-Scroll technology, something we at TrustedReviews have a particular love for.
While I doubt there is anyone who prefers using a touchpad to a mouse, bringing one of these along does mean extra baggage. In the case of wireless rodents, that usually includes a dongle (unless they're using Bluetooth), which can be easily lost if small, and easily damaged if large. These issues have already been ingeniously addressed by the MoGo Bluetooth Mouse, but though it was surprisingly comfortable, it didn't quite have the same weight or feel as a 'real' mouse, and obviously lacked the convenience of a scroll-wheel.
The V550 Nano offers conventional mousing - including some of the bells and whistles of Logitech's desktop range - in a small chassis, and with a twist: the "Clip-and-Go" dock, which allows you to attach your mouse to your notebook. Issues aside, it sounds like an interesting idea, so let's see how it and the actual mouse perform in practice.
Opening the (evil) blister packaging reveals the diminutive rodent, a tiny dongle, two cleaning wipes, two AA batteries, a USB dock and small metal case akin to the one containing the weights with the Logitech G9 Laser Gaming Mouse. Inside are two small 'nubs' in silver and black, and a plastic 'handle' - don't worry, all shall become clear.
Let's begin with the least interesting bit: the docking station. All this really is is a USB extension cable with a curved plastic bit at one end. Getting onto what makes the Nano unique, its Click-and-Go dock system, you'll probably want to have a look at Logitech's multilingual and well-illustrated Quick-start guide. You see, the company's solution to attaching your mouse to your notebook is disappointingly simple. Instead of the Nano mouse transforming into a flat sheet of mouldable high-tech material, you stick a little nub on your laptop, and then slot the mouse onto it.
To start with, choose where you want the nub - or grandly titled Click-and-Go dock - to permanently reside. Clean the area using one of the provided wipes, then attach the dock. There are two provided, one black and one silver, which will match most notebooks - though it's annoying that Logitech does not provide extra colours as a separate purchase.
I'd have to agree, the VX Nano seems like a much better option. I find it fantastic in almost all respects and in comparison I simply can't see the appeal of anything the V550 has to offer.
PS. The VX nano is also surprisingly easy to use left handed

Seeing Double: How Geno Smith's Future is Chandler Jones' Pinstripe Past
Chandler owned WVU and became a first-rounder. Geno tries to follow his path.
It's well documented West Virginia and Syracuse are long time foes. But when they line up against one another in the Pinstripe Bowl, Geno Smith won't have to deal with one very familiar face. He should be thrilled about that. Last year's incredible Syracuse demolition of WVU at the Carrier Dome helped vault Chandler Jones into the first round. So how different will it be for Smith?
"It'll probably be different for those guys. I really don't see football like that. I really don't key out specific players. Chandler Jones is a great player but it's 11 man football and everyone has to do their job and that's how we're gonna go about it."
Maybe he should have targeted Jones, because Chandler kicked his ass. The Patriots first-round pick was a disruptive force that turned a potent West Virginia offense into a sputtering mess. In fact, Jones always had success against WVU. He sacked Smith twice in each of the last two games against the Mountaineers, and added 6 solo tackles each and a number of batted balls. Syracuse has been watching film on West Virginia including the last two games against them, but Shamarko Thomas says SU has tried to avoid watching 99.
"We really haven't been thinking about Chan in the film. Our defensive line is really good. It's Brandon Sharpe. It's Markus Pierce-Brewster. Brandon's got 6-7 sacks on the season so we really weren't thinking about Chan."
The key for Syracuse (as it's been all year) will be to create the same pressure while not asking Sharpe and Pierce-Brewster to do what Chandler now does in the NFL. Defensive coordinator Scott Shafer says he can't ask current players to do what Chan did.
"Really I don't talk that way to the kids. I think we'll talk fundamental technique and things but each kid's a little bit different. If you have someone similar – but there's really no one similar to Chandler playing for us right now."
Much like Syracuse, WVU's offense is all about pace. Anything to disrupt that flow is paramount, meaning batted balls are just as important as sacks. If Syracuse pass rushers can't get home to hit Smith, they've gotta get their hands up.
One of the ways Syracuse manufactured pressure recently was the okie package, but Shafer hasn't used it much this season. Last year when Jones was hurt, the package was ineffective. However, with a month to prepare you wonder if we'll see it on Saturday. SU will show a plethora of looks. Last year, Dana Holgerson said Syracuse's first 18 blitzes were different.
In the end, no matter what fronts and pressures he faces, Geno will be trying to follow the same path as Jones. Make a huge impact on a big stage to solidify himself as a first round talent and a very rich man.

@Russell MacEachern;
Russell;haven't heard or read anything from you lately,is everything alright?
Just letting you know that our bus will be leaving Syracuse at 7:00 am on Saturday and will probably get to Yankee Stadium between 11:30 am 12:00 pm. Going to be a full and fun day. I see that WVA is favored by 3 1/2 points. It's going to be an old fashioned knock down shoot out of a game.
See you there friend.
Babblers worring about other babblers oh my god!! LOL!! SU 26 WV 25 at the brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr bowl. Keep warm. Would rather see game at 50-60 degrees!! Put on your mutlucks!! BEAT WV!!
Hi Steve, nobody missed you.
26-25? Try in the 40s
So apparently, when one goes thourgh a lot of drama & major life changes (close family member passing, moving cross-country, living w/parents, new job, layoff, self-employment, etc.) in the span of little more than a year, things like one's health tend to fall by the wayside. It's been several months since I stepped foot on a scale, eating healthfully hasn't been much of a priority, and the gym is definitely getting the most out of my membership dues. Now that we've settled a bit, it's time to start thinking about ourselves more again. Just in time for Chris & I to sign up for Gangplank Fatoff 2010!
I like what you guys are up too. Such smart work and reporting! Carry on the excellent works guys I've incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it'll improve the value of my web site :).

Vattaka Jataka - The Baby Quail - Jataka 35
While he was on tour through Magadha, Buddha told this story about the extinguishing of a forest fire.
One day, Buddha went on his morning round for alms through a hamlet in Magadha. After finishing his meal, he went out again accompanied by a large group of bhikkhus. Some monks walked ahead of Buddha, and some walked behind him. While they were on their way, a great forest fire broke out, raging fiercely and spreading rapidly, until the jungle was a roaring wall of flames and smoke.
Those monks who had not yet made attainments were terrified with the fear of death. "Let us set a counter-fire so that the jungle fire cannot reach us over the ground we have burned," they cried, and they immediately started to kindle a fire. "What are you doing?" asked the other monks. "You are blind to the sun rising in front of your eyes. Here you are, journeying along with Buddha who is without equal, but still you cry, "Let us make a counter-fire!' You do not know the might of a Buddha! Come with us to the Teacher." All the monks gathered around Buddha who had halted as soon as he had seen the flames. The blaze whirled and roared as if to devour them. Suddenly, however, when the fire was exactly sixteen lengths from the spot where Buddha stood, the flames went out like a torch plunged into water, extinguished and completely harmless.
The monks burst into praises of Buddha, "Oh, how great are the virtues of the Teacher! Even fire can not singe the spot where Buddha stands!"
"It is no present power of mine," Buddha told them, "that makes the fire go out as soon as it reaches this spot. It is the power of a former Act of Truth of mine. No fire will ever burn this spot. This is one of the miracles which will last until the end of this eon." The Elder Ananda then folded a robe in fourths and laid it down for Buddha to sit on. After he had taken his seat, the monks bowed to him and seated themselves respectfully around him. "Only the present is known to us, Venerable Sir," they said. "The past is hidden. Please make it clear to us." At their request, the Buddha told this story.
Long, long ago in this very spot the Bodhisatta was reborn as a quail. Every day, his parents fed him with food which they brought in their beaks, since he was still confined to the nest and unable to forage on his own. The baby quail did not even have the strength yet to stand on his feet to walk about, much less to spread his wings and fly.
One day, a great jungle fire broke out. (At that time also, this area of Magadha was ravaged by fire every year in the dry season.) As the flames swept through the grass and the forest, birds and animals fled for their lives. The air was filled with the shrieking of adult birds flying away from their nests. The parents of this young bird were as frightened as the others and abandoned their helpless offspring to his fate. Lying there in the nest, the little quail stretched his neck to see what was happening. When he saw the flames coming toward him, he thought to himself, "My parents, fearing death, have fled to save themselves, leaving me here completely alone. I am without protector or helper. Had I the power to take to my wings, I too would fly to safety. If I could use my legs, I would run away. What can I do?"
"In this world," he thought further, "there exist the Power of Goodness and the Power of Truth. There are beings who, having realized all the Perfections in previous lives, have attained Enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree. They have become Buddhas, filled with truth, compassion, mercy, and patience. There is power in the attributes they have won. Although I am very young and very weak, I can grasp one truth that is the single principle in Nature. As I call to mind the Buddhas of the past and the power of their attributes, let me perform an Act of Truth."
The little quail concentrated his mind by recalling the power of the Buddhas long since passed away and declared, "With wings that cannot fly and legs that cannot yet walk, forsaken by my parents, here I lie. By this truth and by the faith that is in me, I call on you, O dreadful Fire, to turn back, harming neither me nor any of the other birds!"
At that instant, the fire retreated sixteen lengths and went out like a torch plunged in water, leaving a circle thirty-two lengths in diameter around the baby quail perfectly unscathed.
From that time on, that very spot has escaped being touched by fire, and so it will continue to be throughout this entire eon. When his life ended, the quail who had performed this Act of Truth, passed away to fare according to his deserts.
"Thus, monks," said the Master, "it is not my present power, but the efficacy of that Act of Truth performed by me as a young quail, that has made the flames spare this spot in the jungle."
At the end of his lesson Buddha preached the Truths. Some of the monks who heard attained the First Path, some the Second, some the Third, and some became Arahats. Then Buddha showed the connection and identified the Birth by saying, "My present parents were the parents of those days, and I myself the little quail who became king of the quails."
(from Bodhi Leaves 158 Jataka Tales of the buddha Part V ~ retold by Ken & Visakha Kawasaki)

But the director, Scott Derrickson, doesn't want to be blamed. Advertisement We also talked to Derrickson about the chances for a sequel to his remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, and asked who would win in a fight: Neo or Klaatu?The Earth Stood Still transmission will reach any possible civilizations currently orbiting Alpha Centauri approximately four years from now, in the year 2012. Advertisement So you're beaming The Day The Earth Stood Still into space?I know. Can you believe that?No, I can not. Why did you decide to do that? Sponsored I have no idea. Somebody did, and told me they did it. And then I found that out and thought, "Boy I hope I'm not the one responsible for bringing the evil aliens. I hope whoever finds it is nice."I was going to say, is that really the message that you want to send to another galaxy? Are you happy with the message? Advertisement Yeah, very with what the movie has to say. I do think the movie is a pretty accurate reflection of human nature. It's what the original was. I tried to be faithful and true to that basic story and that basic theme.The movie does end on a cliffhanger, you don't know what's going to happen next. Would you ever consider making a sequel?Oooh. You know, probably not. Never say never though, how many directors have said that and then done it. I have no intention to at this point. Advertisement A lot of people are saying that the message of the film is to go green, sort of like an Inconvenient Truth. What is the message that you as a director wanted to bring?This movie doesn't have an environmental message to it. I don't like message movies. This is a big entertaining popcorn movie. People are coming to be entertained. If it has any statement in it, it's about human nature, not about... I'm not telling the audience how they're supposed to act or what they're supposed to do or anything like that. It basically is saying, as human beings, we've gotten ourselves into some serious messes and that's too bad, that's unfortunate, and we're all paying the price for it. But sometimes that's what you have to do before you make the changes that you really needed to make in the first place. And I think that's what's happening.Who do you think would win in a fight Neo or Klaatu? Advertisement Advertisement Oh That's a good one. That's a really good question. All I know is the Earth would get ripped to shreds in the middle of that fight. Wouldn't want to be there for that one.If all goes according to plan, this first intentional transmission of a movie can be reached at different parts of our solar system, according to the press release, Deep Space Communications Network estimates arrival times at:(Distance from Earth – at the speed of light – and transmission time, as follows): Advertisement Moon: 0.000000038, 1.1991888 seconds Sun: 0.000016, 8.41536 minutes Mercury: 0.0000095, 4.99662 minutes Venus: 0.00000476, 2.5035696 minutes Mars: 0.0000076, 3.997296 minutes Jupiter: 0.0000666, 35.028936 minutes Saturn: 0.000135, 1.18341 hours Uranus: 0.000285, 2.49831 hours Neptune: 0.00046, 4.03236 hours Pluto: 0.0006183, 5.4200178 hoursIf the rest of the galaxy thinks were terrible people, I just want to say: I told you so.
