Hultafors - Built by hand - Meet cabinet-maker Mikael Seppänen
The smell of wood is striking in the joinery workshop of cabinet-maker Mikael Seppänen. Here, large industrial saws stand side by side with classic tools. I get a moment with Mikael while the glue dries on some doors he's just assembled. "There's a rising trend in home-produced and locally made. More and more people are opening their eyes to buying a kitchen from a local joinery, rather than going to a kitchen supplier and getting one off-the-shelf."

Hultafors - Spirit levels - What is tolerance?
Manufacturing tolerance is the sum of all possible minor and microscopically small errors during production. Tolerance is thus the divergence from sensitivity, and the smaller the value the better.
Hultafors - Spirit levels - What is sensitivity?
Hultafors - Spirit levels - Buying Guide
On the market there are many makers of spirit levels. To get a good spirit level there are some important aspects you should consider.
Hultafors - Spirit levels - History
No one knows how old spirit levels really are however it is known that the Romans used a primitive spirit level when building their aqueducts, in the form of water filled tanks. By studying the water surface mode in the vessel, the Romans could determine if the base was completely flat or at an angle. As early as 1661 the Frenchman Melchisedech Thévenot invented the modern spirit level, but it was not implemented on any wider scale before the beginning of the 18th century.
Hultafors - Spirit levels - The vials
Vials is the vital components in a spirit level. The fluid-filled containers that give you a level reading are called vials. The liquid in the vials is usually oil or alcohol so that the air bubble inside can move freely. Different vials might appear similar at a casual glance. But the design and mounting of vials differ a lot between different brands, resulting in different accuracy and precision.
Hultafors - Spirit levels - Profile and end caps
Aluminium is a common profile material, since it combines stiffness and durability with light weight. The strength of the spirit level is determined by the shape and the thickness of the profile.
Hultafors - A higher level, the straight facts about spirit levels
What makes a spirit level great? And how do you make sure you pick a good one? In this film, we will walk you through every aspect of the spirit level. How it is constructed and how to use it.

Hultafors - Spirit level HV and PV
Hultafors HV and PV are two series of spirit levels for professional use. Both excellent choices that might look similar at first glance in their black powder coating. http://www.hultafors.com/hv-and-pv
Hultafors - Spirit level LIBELLA 2000
Spirit levels can be too long or too short or too un-precise. Then there is Hultafors Libella 2000 – a spirit leveling system, expandable from 310 mm to 3100 mm, five times as sensitive as standard spirit levels. http://www.hultafors.com/libella2000
Hultafors - Spirit level MST
How do you improve the best?! Well, you fine tune and better every detail. That is why the new improved Hultafors MST 180 might appear similar at first glance. It still has the most sensitive vials available, ISO 9001-certified mounting for unique low tolerance and a solid profile that indicates strength and sturdiness. Look closer and you'll see that the shape and placement of the handles have been improved for better balance. The profile has been given a slight hourglass-shape to prevent dirt from sticking to the spirit level. The new mounting of the vials increases legibility from every angle, especially when taking a reading from below. And last, a new finesse is the holes to the profile that facilitates hanging cupboards on walls. You just screw the MST directly on the wall, let the cupboards rest on it while fastening, and finally unscrew the MST. In short, the king of spirit levels still reigns on. http://www.hultafors.com/hand-tools/leveling/spirit-levels/long-precision-spirit-levels/spirit-level-aluminium-mst/

Shawn Corey Carter was born in 1969 and raised in Brooklyn's tough Marcy housing projects. The J and Z trains ran by Marcy, so his friends called him Jay-Z. Hearing rap for the first time "... was like watching some kind of combat, but he was alone in the center. All he had were his eyes, taking in everything, and the words inside him. I was dazzled."
The world knows 50 Cent as a hip-hop artist and movie star. He has won dozens of awards and made millions of dollars. He works to end hunger around the world. But 50 Cent, also known as Fiddy, grew up living a very different life in South Jamaica, Queens. It was the height of the 1980's crack epidemic. And Fiddy was dealing crack by age twelve...
From gospel choirboy to Star Search winner, Usher, whose full name is Usher Terry Raymond IV, is not just a multi-platinum recording artist. He's a singer, a dancer, and an actor. He is a composer. He has written songs for many famous artists. Usher is a proud father. He is also a mentor, a person who helps or teaches people. He works hard as an activist. He does good things for others.
People find it very hard to describe Nicki Minaj. She is a very successful solo rap artist. But that leaves out her talent in other styles of music. You could describe her as a fierce feminist. But she also works hard at being really cute. Fans of Nicki Minaj understand that she is anything but simple.
She was a little girl born on an island in the Caribbean Sea. She dreamed of singing for more than just her schoolmates and friends. She sold clothing in a street stall. But one day she would be famous enough to help children who were poor. Now she's a megastar. Rihanna has been on television, in movies, and splashed across the covers of popular magazines.
Drake stands out among hip-hop stars. The Jewish Canadian actor has never struggled with drugs or poverty. Critics question his authenticity. Yet Drake has a great attitude. He says, "At the end of the day, I consider myself a black man because I'm more immersed in black culture than any other. Being Jewish is kind of a cool twist. It makes me unique."
Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. wrote his first rhyme at age eight. Lil Wayne still sets his own rules and does not let people tell him how to make his music. He's an artist with a trademark appearance, wearing his hair in dreadlocks. His teeth are covered in gold, platinum, and diamonds. His body is covered with tattoos. And he is rarely seen without a red bandana.

At Townhall, Dan Mitchell comments on international poll data that compare attitudes toward government spending in 16 Western countries. The chart shows what percentage of respondents in each country want to cut government spending; increase it; or keep it the same. Dan highlights the fact that Americans are to the "left" of Portuguese, Frenchmen and Italians:
But a different point jumps out at me. It has been true in the U.S., for a long time, that most voters want to cut government spending, yet spending inexorably rises. It turns out that this is more or less a universal phenomenon: government spending increases irrespective of voters' desire that it do so. Why this is true is a large topic, but it seems that at least part of the answer is that the New Class that has sprung up across the modern world is still firmly in the saddle and is exploiting the rest of us at an ever-increasing rate. Where is Karl Marx when you need him?

FC Dallas midfielder Brek Shea will need about three months to recover after surgery to remove a bone in his right foot.
The team said Shea had the surgery Thursday, and estimated the recovery time at 12 to 14 weeks. That would be about a month before the start of the 2013 regular season.
Shea had three goals and two assists in 21 games for FC Dallas before missing the final month with an abdominal strain stemming from the foot injury. He had 11 goals in 2011.
The 22-year-old has 15 caps with the U.S. national team, but missed two World Cup qualifiers with the injury. The final round of World Cup qualifying starts in February, about the time Shea would be expected to return.

Heaps of spectators made their way out to the beach today to enjoy the lovely Saturday afternoon weather and to catch a glimpse of all the kiteboarding action here in Noumea, New Caledonia. It has been a super successful competition thus far, you could not ask for better wind or weather conditions.
Race director Olaf Van Tol announced this morning at the skippers meeting that this afternoon would be packed with kiteboarding entertainment. The start of the freestyle double eliminations would commence at 12:00pm followed by a fun and exciting discipline known as the big air/best trick. The judging criteria for this competition is 70% height and 30% technical difficulty. Local riders started off the first round of heats competing against each other today. Michael Dinclaux (Takoon, FRA) eliminated most of the local riders, however was later defeated by Brazilian rider Reno Romeu (North, BRA). Alex Pastor (Airush, ESP) will be advancing to the next round following his win over Sebastien Garat (RRD, FRA) in a 5/0 judge's decision. Alberto Rondina (Cabrinha, ITA) eliminated Sebastien Nguyen (Slingshot, FRA) and will be moving into the next set of heats tomorrow as well as Mario Rodwald (North, GER) who defeated Julien Kerneur (Takoon, FRA) in the last double elimination heat of the day. The double eliminations will resume tomorrow on the final day of competition here in Noumea, New Caledonia.
The big air/best trick discipline was held after a short intermission. Riders made there way out on the water with their kite sizes ranging from 7m to 9m. In the first heat, Marc Jacobs (Switch, NZL) advanced moving him directly into the final heat. Maxime Landreau (Takoon, FRA) and Youri Zoon (Slingshot, NED) also joined Jacobs in the final round. Jacobs was really on top of his game today, jumping extremely high and performing with great technical difficulty enabling him first place in the discipline followed by Zoon in second and Landreau in third.
Tomorrow's skippers meeting is scheduled for 11:30am with a first possible start for the freestyle double eliminations at 12:00pm.

2. Youri Zoon (Slingshot, NED)

Oil and water don't mix, and neither do sports and politics especially on matters which are subjudice. In a case of apparently bad advice to the Ferrari formula one team, the team is sporting the Italian marines insignia on their cars and released press releases around the same protesting their arrest.
For folks outside India, here are the facts :
1. The Italian marines shot down fishermen off the coast of Kerala in India.
2. Tried to escape to international waters, played the jurisdiction card when arrest became imminent and even offered money to the kin of those deceased.
3. They are getting a fair trial in the courts of this country.
Currently the matter is sub-judice in India and the marines are on bail. If they are innocent, F1chronicles hopes they would be acquitted , if they are guilty they deserve punishment like any criminal.
The action by Ferrari in view of the above facts can only be seen as stupid since the Govt. can do anything in the matter due to the courts handing the matter. The Ferrari team in its press release had hoped Indian authorities would find a solution which cannot happen as courts are independent in India.
The initial release read :
In doing so, Ferrari pays tribute to one of the outstanding entities of our country, also in the hope that the Indian and Italian authorities will soon find a solution to the situation currently involving two sailors from the Italian Navy.
After the hue and cry, the Scuderia Ferrari team embarrassed had to go into damage control after the earlier release and issued the following release :
The Italian Navy's national flag on the Ferrari race cars at the Indian Grand Prix is there as a tribute to one of our country's outstanding institutions. With all the respect due to the Indian Authorities, Ferrari wishes to make it clear that this initiative does not have, nor should it be seen as having, any political implication.
Some advisor needs to get fired

Tyga Sued Over Mansion in Malibu
Here's hoping Tyga has been saving some of his tens, twenties and fifties. The 'Rack City' rapper is being sued over a pricey Malibu mansion, so he may need the money!
In a lawsuit obtained by TMZ (who else?), Tyga's landlord, Gholamreza Rezai, sues Tyga as well as Cash Money Music for back rent. Apparently Tyga signed a year-long lease in June for the gorgeous Malibu pad, agreeing to pay $16,000 per month. (Yes, that's $16,000 -- with three zeroes!) Only problem is, Tyga stopped paying rent last month. Is he too busy dropping cash at strip joints?
Rezai said that Tyga told him he'd wanted to move out by the end of September, claiming fans kept showing up at his door and that he didn't feel the property was safe nor secure enough to deal with the constant clamor. Considering the crazies that have shown up at Usher and Miley Cyrus' houses recently, we can't say we blame Tyga in this case -- that's scary stuff! And even if the fans aren't scissor-wielding maniacs, it's still disruptive to someone's privacy to have strangers showing up all the time.
Only problem is, Rezai refused to end the lease and demanded September's rent. He never got September's rent, and though Tyga stopped paying rent ... he still lives on the property. Whoopsies! Rezai is suing for September's rent plus damages, and he wants Tyga out of the house ASAP.
Here's hoping Tyga gets his situation straightened out soon. Chances are with all that porn money, he should be able to afford to take care of this!

RaboDirect PRO12
De Luca hit with 13-week ban for tip tackle

Edinburgh centre Nick de Luca has been handed a 13-week ban for a tip-tackle on Ospreys' Tom Grabham during their recent RaboDirect PRO12 clash.
Recent tip-tackle bans:
De Luca was red-carded for the tackle in the dying moments of his side's 24-7 defeat at the Liberty Stadium on Friday night but has now been hit with an additional suspension that appears to end his season and chances of a Scotland recall.
The statement from the PRO12 disciplinary committee read: "Having considered all of the evidence presented, including the video of the incident, the disciplinary committee considered the incident to be at the top end level for this type of offence, which has a range of suspensions from 12 to 52 weeks and having taken into account aggravating and mitigating factors, decided that a suspension of 13 weeks was appropriate."
The 29-year-old was sidelined for the start of Scotland's Six Nations campaign with a fractured eye socket but was expected to return to the selection mix for their remaining games against Wales and France next month having made a quicker-than-expected recovery. But he is now set to be sidelined until May 27 that will also leave him short of game time to prove his form and fitness ahead of Scotland's summer fixtures with Samoa and South Africa.
Matt Scott and Sean Lamont have formed Scotland's midfield for all three of their Six Nations matches so far with a narrow 12-8 victory over Ireland last weekend keeping their title hopes alive ahead of their next fixture at Murrayfield on March 9.
De Luca, who won the last of his 38 Test caps against Tonga in November, has the right to appeal the ban while Grabham recovered from the tackle to play 80 minutes for Welsh Premiership side Bridgend on Saturday afternoon.

My rhymes like a key yours are half a gram
You ain't no real MC, your verses is empty
Your style is played out like lottos and stripe lees
And the lines that you spit don't pertain to me
They plain to me you ain't who you claim to be
You lame to me – you can't even aim to pee
Namin' all kind of guns you ain't hardly see
You from a block that ain't poppin' and ya name don't ring
Seen you with the fags in the village callin' you sweet thing
I'm a menace fool – trash that you talk be miniscule
Small like a pebble in a 10-foot deep pool
Skip the talk – chi chi mon switch when you walk
You a thug in drag, light up ya helmet like lazer tag
You niggas can't hang wit S I'm too wicked
Bang wit two llamas leave ya whole shit twisted
You be thinkin' this a game til they carry you out
Son you rhyme like a chick wit a dick in the mouth
Ain't gotta tell you you a fag, fam you know yourself
Stick ya head between yo legs dog and blow yourself
Stick the dildo in yo ass and fuck yourself
Put the gun to ya head dog and shoot yourself

I'm tryin'a make it clear grow a little rich
And if you try to stop me I'll expose you for it bitch
Yo, the way I wreck mics might be hard for you to swallow
Truth is Famo a hard act to follow
Still mates who tailgate get filled with hollows
I'll leave you on the strip slumped over in a pothole
Wilder than a gang of vatos gettin' boracho
Middle finger up at police to free Macho
Bottle of hen roc fumandome un tabaco
Niggas couldn't live for a day in my zapatos
Duck the laws long brasos, d's Donnie Brasco

These are the words of a veteran
Marijuana's my medicine
It's a honor to be alive I don't care who I'm betta than
I don't care if you betta than me I'm still relevant
Even though it's competitive up is something I'll never give
In the lab developin' flows that's elegant
Eatin' like a polar bear, shittin' like an elephant
Now I get to smoke my bud instead of sellin' it
Out in Australia at the beach pettin' pelicans
Y'all so delicate, go hard you betta get
Out my way, I eat with the predicates
Speak to the deadliest, sleep with the sexiest
Chicks you ever seen in ya life
Don't bet against a brotha like me

The next Malcolm X or another Spike Lee
Came a long way from Timbs and white tees
To drivin' all day in a Benz with 20 g's on me

Rip it for elementary high school and all my other classmates
I rip it for this, yeah I rip it for that
I spit on yo bitch and take a shit on yo track
I rip it from dusk til dawn
What the fuck you want
I rip it till the lust is gone
And half these sluts is on my nuts
I rip it for the barber givin' fly cuts
Try us, wind up in your own private pine bus
Get it? I rip it long as my tongue can spit
I rip it like a chick wit braces who be suckin' dick
I rip it till all the lyrics'll sync up
I rip shit like bein' on the toilet but yo ass just clenched up
I rip mics what you kids like?
Rip it for white, black and Puerto Rican kids on Nostrand in a fistfight
A little bro rip it, you pricks got no soul
Introducing the future of hip-hop it's Dov
I been waitin' too long to move on
You fools wrong
And I don't even spit on tracks, I fuckin' chew songs
Hip-hop's newborn
Forced to do my chores
You want me to stop & ignore that this game's been stop short
Or, you can get on your knees like a whore
Use common thoughts and fuckin' thank God I was born
Cause I resurrect to life what you think ain't likely
And my rap tests have more checks than a store full of Nikes
Started off a mystery
Turns out my mouth is dirtier
Than a pedophile's internet history
Pissed to see that shit'll be just gettin' worse
If I don't get to work and transform what I live to be
Cookin' up what I see fit to feed
Who knew that a kid could lead
This new generation – 'bout to make history
A rapper, you not one – I'm headed to the top, son
You more off target than Dick Cheney wit a shotgun
It's from the valley of people that's bein' managers
Cause you got betta stamina, time to feed 'em to wolves
You think you betta? Go 'head put up the cheddah
We rock parties hardbody when we're better for fold
DB let's get it started and let it bang harder
Teen shorties playboy brothers like Club Shuttah
My name's Flo – I spit a though that'll travel through you
And make your body wiggle and jiggle like fake boobs
Never fake moves – we make music, we make tunes
Hey DJ, shut up or I'll make 'em pull off they shoes
I'm a bad man wit bad plans -you understand?
Feel me when I tilt my hat and shake hands
I'm a preacha – Mr. Hypeman nice to meet ya, greet ya

She left that Friday but we hung out Tuesday
And I fucked her on Thursday
I'm just that smooth – ay!

My slim thing checked my phone a lot but she spend change
This little fine bitch got vexed and broke my jack
Because me and Belinda be textin'
Before that she took my number down and called her

Anyway they fought cause I got caught but bet me
If either of them dumb whores left me
That's pimpin'

We got yo bitch takin a fist, hard day
Yeah, that's how these mothafuckas roll now
25 years old now out they fuckin' skulls now
I guess the liquor and the drugs really got to 'em
Cause the way they put it down they are not human
We ride around with our music really loud
Doin' 90 down a 25 floatin' off the ground
Cause I'm higher than I ever been
I'm in the basement mixin' up the medicine – cocaine and heroin
That is the dope rush - would you like a teaspoon?
Have you walkin' on the sun starin' at a green moon
It's fuckin' scary ain't it - a picture I could paint it
Tryin' to get up off the curb like I'm Larry David
Drinkin' that Henny Black, drivin' in the Cadillac
TC droppin' me off to see some chick I mack
Adored by the mother, the daughter think I love her
I fuck her and sell weed to the little brother
Shout out to Pretty Fred
The next motherfucker sayin' my name won't get a verse he'll be fuckin' dead

Hardcore, impulsive, raw
Ghetto sonata's
You are now, in-tuned with my trauma
Through that treble, check levels
And then go rewind this
Revving up our mind's are free
Forgettin' the devil reminds us
Men of honor, that'll march as cold
As some Ugandan rebels with lamas
I remember my momma told me
Mijo, no sejas como eso titere's
En la escina, vendiendo cocaina
Pero yo lo hice mal un
'Til I seen her cara
This pain inside'll, still
Swell like a clot's in my superior vena cava
See this saga ends, where it all begun-
So be cautious sir, or it's costing ya
Paid my dues ask the auditors
I'm setting the theme, by deading ya dreams
Send'em to heaven by spreading his wings
While that fat lady sings, I'm conducting the orchestra
What's with this hatred? Bitches
Switch ya face, you should be gracious
Hit the breaks
My hunger is great, and I hung with some greats
No chilling occasions
Flow is diligent suasion, like signs concealed by the Masons
Like minds, feel and embrace this
My time, witness it hastens
Dreams of success
The jewelry, Lex'
& The women I'll sex
Stripping, giving me neck
Warped on Ritalin and liquor
Mixed with some X
Predicting da strenuous stress
& Ripple effects, I'm willing to bet
You niggas could never project
The vigorous feeling, it's chilliing when winning is less
Beset by these liars and snakes
Smiling so fake, who stab in yo back and twist the knife
While looking you right in ya face (Hi!)
(He he he…) Laughing while they plotting on ya
Holding my tongue, that's not in my persona
I'll try, & hak-spit on ya
Been hot since Slaughter, and gotten warmer
Now the top performers, get dropped
Brooklyn thinks I'm out of pocket
Going for Mr. Wallace's spot like Roethlisberger
My stock's in order, I'm locked and loaded
On Loch Ness mode and, with God's Son's aura
Like Andre Young's anti-psychotics
Now I am just what the doctor ordered (haaaanh?)
My mind's eerie, not nearly enough sane
When I think of my happy place
The walls are covered with blood stains
Fuck off, the level of pain I deal with's more real
Than I'll ever say I feel
Uh, my fate is sealed
I pray that I'm safe in hell

BG errors and stupidity – EotS
I died, a lot, during my BG runs yesterday. Oddly, I think I learned some things while I was at it.
Since it was Eye of the Storm (EotS) weekend, that's where I did almost all my runs. As a reminder I'm looking for ONE piece of gear to start — the trinket, so I can quit being QUITE so subject to fear and other minor frustrations.
Digression. The more I examine it, the more I think I should have picked that up a long time ago – at least the lower (5 minute cooldown) version. It's just got too many uses even in PVE. Sure, you sacrifice stats, but there are these bosses every so often where, well, Fear Kills, Stats just delay things a bit.
So… The first thing I discovered is that most people don't really understand where the points come from in EotS. I was, at the start of the day, the same way. I got frustrated with nobody giving an answer – not to mention all the chaotic running back and forth (more on that in a bit), and did some research. Allow me to summarize.
The battle is won, just like
Alteric Valley (AV) [Correction, Arathi Basin (AB)], by the first side earning 2000 points.
Owning towers ticks for points every two seconds. You earn 1, 2, 5, and 10 points per tick for 1 through 4 towers respectively.
Capping the flag – that is, capturing it and taking it to one of the towers you own – earns points based on how many towers you own as well. Again respectively for ownership, it's 75, 85, 100, and 500 points.
One more point before we go into strategy. It takes 10 seconds to pick up the flag (you know the gear wait drill). A FAST carrier (ghost wolf, sprint, etc) can get the flag to a tower in about 25 seconds in a perfect run. This means if everything – EVERYTHING – is going your way you can cap a flag every 35 seconds.
Obviously if you're both holding towers it's better to be the one capping the flag. But is 'just capping the flag' the best strategy? 35 seconds… let's call it 36 so we can get a solid 18 ticks, ok? That's a "perfect" run. We'll be hitting that again in a bit.
Let's have both sides grab both towers simultaneously. Now, you let the other side do perfect runs. Meantime you spend runs grabbing (and holding) a third tower. Let's walk the points a minute, shall we?
The instant you grab the third tower, the new point-scheme takes effect. The other side is earning 18+75=93 points every 36 seconds. You are earning 90 points in the same time. If the other side can do perfect runs all the time, they win. But there's only a 3 point difference. How much time do you need?
If you can delay the runs by one measley tick, you get: Them – 94 points; Us – 95 points.
Let's run another concept. What if we have two and we keep swapping ownership of the third. That is – 30 seconds unowned, and 16 seconds of one side or the other? No, let's make it 18 seconds of ownership for some "perfect flag run" intervals. They get 9 ticks at 2 points — 18 points — and 27 at one each for a total of 45 points from towers. We get 9 ticks at 5 – 45 – and 27 at 2 each – 54 – for a total of 99 points.
If they get one run in there – regardless – and we get none, then they win that sequence. If we trade runs, we win. Over time, we can afford to be SLIGHTLY less efficient at running – especially if we can get a cap during our three-tower period.
And so we see the conflict. If both sides hold two towers pretty much consistently, then the side that's better at running the flag wins. If, however, one side's second tower is contested then the other side can be slightly less good at running and still win. And if one side can hold three towers for most of the battle, then as long as the other side can't make perfect runs (that is, takes more than 36 seconds between caps) then the three-tower side wins.
A great strategy, then, goes as follows: One group splits 2-2 and takes the two nearside towers. The second group plus one person from each of the other two groups goes for a third tower. The third group (less one person) goes to contest the flag. Subsequently, the two 'attachments' to the second group stay at the third tower, and the remaining four people of group 2 become a reserve assisting whichever tower the other side attacks. Or, if opportunity presents itself, attacking the fourth tower. (This is really, really hard even for pre-mades.)
So, what's the heal-priest's role in all this? Healing, obviously (grin). More seriously… You can be part of the flag team, in which case you're healing the battle to take the flag, then healing the carrier. If you're part of the tower assault team, you're a party healer. Expect to go out of mana. Stay as unnoticeable as possible – range and terrain will help here. Consider NOT using the frisbee – it's distinctive and tells (or reminds) everyone that there's a heal-priest over there. Alternately, what I wound up doing (finally) was putting the frisbee on myself. Once I've been found and hit I can be pretty sure some of the other side will talk. ("Fresh Meat here.") If you're part of the "hold the tower" team, you are healing only when attacked. Be advised that one attack is to sneak in a rogue to occupy you so your partner can be overwhelmed. Alternately, they'll tie up your partner so no rescue is possible and swarm you. Either way, it would not be amiss to keep your frisbee in constant play 'just in case' – again, on yourself might be as useful as on your partner.
Also, for both flag and tower teams, don't forget your Mass Dispel. It's an almost perfect opportunity, and especially at the flag battle pretty much everyone will be in range. Accept the pain of a Warlock's Unstable Affliction.
So, I said I had a lot of errors and stupidity. Some of it's implied above — those are painful lessons learned, the things like when to send the frisbee. (Four horde suddenly turning from their respective foes and charging me was entertaining in some ways.) By the way – if you hear the zziiinnng of the frisbee going off, it means there's a priest close-by. Nothing wrong with turnabout being fair play here. Anyway, I've got a few more lessons.
Never be alone. Seriously – never. If you are, head for other players even if it means abandoning a tower you're the only one occupying. Staying in a tower only makes sense if you can delay the seizure long enough that reinforcements can stop it. You are squishy – 10 seconds is a long duration against an assault. If you stay anyway, you are a tripwire. YELL IN RAID the instant you're attacked. In fact, go ahead and write your first raid comment – "xx tower under attack." If you get time to add "## attackers," great. But if you're typing you're not running/fighting – and you do have some things to reach that 10 second point.
If you haven't done so, go ahead and buy an elite ground mount. Yes, I'm guilty of this – cheapskate that I was. The problem with doing without is, well, see "never be alone."
Don't waste time dismounting. When you cast a spell your dismount happens automatically. Take advantage of this fact.
sigh – always. ALWAYS. Inner fire. Go ahead and shield just before you mount – odds are it'll be gone before you need it, but every so often you get this really skilled horde. Shield should also be the first spell you cast when you rez – graveyards can be camped, and that instant of time can make all the difference in the world. My pattern on rez was shield, IF, buff (x3 – I have IDS, fort is obvious, and shadow has saved me more than once), mount. Yes, it ate mana. By the time I got to the battle I was usually close to full again.
Psychic scream will probably not work. Don't make it your first button on panic. In fact… Shield and nuking myself with heals kept me alive a lot more when it was anything but a rogue. (Warriors hate it when you do that – I became a favorite target in one battle, and he never, ever got me to zero before help came round.)
Last – most important. MOST IMPORTANT. As in if you do nothing else DO THIS….
At a minimum, find a warrior or other tank-type and send a tell, "Wanna team?" You don't have to run the thing, just start reporting: "3 inc BT over bridge." "Lck, War, Hnt at flag." You get the idea. And as I discovered about the fourth game, when YOU start doing this – and do it early enough – then so does everyone else.
Oh, by the way? How to know if you've found someone trying to lead? If the groups start changing. It's the first clue you might have joined a pre-made. It doesn't take much of that to discover things are going your way.

The problem with Psychic Scream failing is (somewhat) solved by +spell hit enchants.
This was (and still is) the hardest decision for me to come up with. The simplest way to get enough +spell hit for PS is via the (only) two enchants available.
Communication is the most underrated part of defense in all BGs. Responding to such calls for help, even with a simple "omw" is even more important.
And thanks for the information on how the scoring is. I always thought that the flags always had the same point value regardless of how many bases you have.
As a Priest, my most beloved place to be is the middle. MC FTW!!11one
I completely think that the best way to really get a feel for your class is to throw down in some BG's, that being said… man EoTS makes me wanna punch a guy in the face…. That place is so frustrating… and purple.
Did you take into account the time it takes for the flag to respawn after someone captures it? I don't remember how long it is but I don't think it is instant.
Also something to note is that if the other team is holding 3 towers and you have 1, it's generally a bad idea to cap the tower.
When going for the pvp trinket, I highly suggest the 15k honor one that includes 20 resilience and a (much) shorter cooldown. That thing is a godsend.
From what I read you are too slow with your INC calls. If you are in combat, you're too late. People have to disengage, mount and travel to the node that requires assistance. Most of the time people have tunnel vision, and only realize that they need assistance AFTER THEY DIE. This is the absolute worst thing a defender can do. If someone does this more than once in a BG, consider them useless as a defender and take it upon yourself to defend that node.
Regarding the EOTS strategy part, I've always been sporting a "Three towers you win no matter what" strategy. Now I know it's not mathematically true, if you just sit at the towers and let the other team do P-runs they'll win as you just proved.
But i think we have to consider the following facts
-Once one side has three towers i find it very difficult for the other side to run the flag because the 3 towers team can now apply pressure on both sides of the flag bridge.
-Most players assign a high value to the flag and the flag area naturally get clumped during the course of a game, as constant fighting somewhere tend to suck players in like a black hole of Honor Points.
-Constantly shouting for the towers could actually bring some of them to leave the flag, leaving the right amount to give a tough match at the flag while we enough to cap one tower.
On Garona EU as Horde it has become a general strategy even for pug's to consistently aim for 4 towers and no flag. We assign one full group to each far tower, one person to hold each of the near towers and 3 persons just to keep the flag busy.
This puts a lot of pressure on the far towers right from the start, and with that many of us in the tower zone of influence it can delay their capture by quite some time.
Usually we can get away capping one of them and from that point we try to keep as much pressure on the last tower having them defend their tower instead of attacking ours is always better and it will make their flag runs more difficult.
Meanwhile the 3 guys at the flag are doing all they can to prevent the flag captures, not really trying to get it themselve.
3 players is actually enough to prevent even 5 players from capping for quite some time (20 seconds delay is easily done, and id they reach 35 they are actually doubling the time to cap)
I really like EOTS because i think it reward players for being able to lure the opposing team into applying the wrong tactic. Lure more of them to the flag then take the towers, lure their defense to Mage and cap Ruins. Players serve their team by being able to occupy the opponents somewhere while being outnumbered to allow more ressources to do something else.
Nice mathifications, Kirk. Wish I could make everyone read it.
On the subject of calling out incomings, I keep macros handy to call out "XX needs help" – lacks precision, but it do save time.
[…] enough rambling: What's the secret to winning BGs? Over at Priestly Endeavors, Kirk did a great analysis of Eye of the Storm with some theorycrafting thrown in. If you have a premade for EoTS and run it regularly, read […]
Very interesting read 🙂 I never really spent much timing thinking about the point scoring etc for EotS – I feel much more confident about strategy now! I definitely agree re communicating early and often. And great idea on the macros Ratshag! I might try that!
Just a correction, as a disc priest, I don't consider myself "squishy".
Personally, the "3 cap and hold" strategy is good, but it's hard to do. Ignoring the flag works as long as you can continue to defend, but it's easy for the other side to zerg a tower.
Rule #1 of battlegrounds: it's all about distracting. Your goal is not to "kill the other guys". Your goal is to waste their time while you win.
In AB:
Constantly attack. Small harassment attacks (2 people) can often take undefended or weakly defended (1 person) nodes. More often, though, they cause the other side to overreact. If you're losing, having 10 of the other side's players defending a node is a great way to make the OTHER nodes weak so you can ninja them. And if you're winning, having 10 of the other side's players defending a node they already control is a great way to keep pressure off the nodes you're trying to defend.
Push your advantage. Once you have 3 nodes, the other side is OBLIGATED to attack. That means they aren't defending, or are doing so poorly. This is the perfect time to pick up a 4th node. And if they try to defend with their whole team, well, they aren't attacking your nodes. Meanwhile, you keep picking up points.
Push when you're losing. When you have 2 or fewer nodes, you need to attack. Every second you sit back and "try to hold what you have", the other side gets further ahead.
Stay on the node. You should never, ever lose a node when there are friendly players nearby. Your ONLY goal when defending is to prevent the other side from capping. Killing the other players is important to make sure that you don't get overrun, but DO NOT spend time chasing them down. If you need to die to prevent a cap, DO SO.
Try to bait the other side off the node, then cap. Rogues/Druids work best for the capping part, but really it's pretty easy to do for any class most of the time. This works amazingly well.
In EOTS:
Never do half-assed assaults. Send at least 5 players. Unlike AB it's really hard to "ninja" in EOTS because caps are really slow with 4 players.
Stay at the nodes. If you're not at the flag or one of the nodes, you're wasting time.
Try to draw the other side off the nodes. Having one of your players "bait" the other players off the node is a really good idea, just like in AB. This is an exception to the above rule.
Again, don't worry about the flag if you only have 1 node. You're gonna lose if you don't get that other node back, regardless of whether you cap.
Never leave the flag undefended. Remember, capping isn't the only goal of being in the middle. Slowing down caps (which takes surprisingly little) is a great idea when you've 3-capped. Caps won't win it for the other side, but they can keep the game close if you ignore the flag, which leaves you vulnerable to losing a base and finding yourself suddenly behind while the other side chain caps.
In WSG:
DO NOT let the other side get your flag back to their base. The "we'll take theirs, they'll take ours, then we assault" strategy ALWAYS results in turtles, and no one likes to play 2 hour WSG games.
Stall, stall, stall. Leaving a couple of people to "guard" the flag is a good idea. They won't stop the flag from being taken, but they will prevent ninja-steals and slow the other side down. That means that YOUR team has their flag first, and if they fail to pick up your flag (or don't get out of your base), you get a quick cap.
Don't take the flag if you're not well geared. It makes ZERO sense for people with 6k HP and no resilliance to take the flag. You're just gonna get demolished. The only time you should take the flag if you're poorly geared is if the other team is going to cap, and even that's questionable (usually it just prolongs the inevitable).
In AV:
Don't defend. AV is a race, not PvP.
AV is where you go to farm bonus honor. If you want combat, play one of the battlegrounds.
Defending results in some wins, but it also results in a LOT of 2 hour turtles. No one likes those games.
In general:
FORCE MULTIPLICATION. If you can take more than one of the other guys out of play, you're helping your team. Fake assaults in AB are a perfect example: one or 2 of your guys can harass 5 or more of their guys, which means that they have fewer players than you for the rest of the action.
FOCUS ON THE OBJECTIVES. It never ceases to amaze me in WSG when I'm defending the flag and 6 of the other side's players show up. Instead of taking the flag and running out (while CCing me), they proceed to waste 40 seconds (yeah, I'm pretty good at surviving) to kill me. That's 40 seconds that my team has to get their flag and run back. Random fights on the roads in AB/WSG fit here too – in these fights, you WANT to be outnumbered, because it means that you are wasting fewer people (on things that don't actually help you win).
Don't win at any cost. Winning is not the objective in PvP. Honor is not the objective in PvP. Marks are not the objective in PvP.
It seems odd to say this, but it applies to WoW in general:
THERE IS ONLY ONE OBJECTIVE IN WoW: FUN
If you're not having fun playing WoW, stop doing what you're doing. Period. You're not making money from WoW (and if you are, you're a bastard farmer). No one outside of the game will care what gear you get, and your gear will be worthless as of the next patch anyway. Eventually, no one will even play this game. Your standing means NOTHING in this game.
Challenging yourself and your guild to progress through raid content can be fun (not for everyone, but for many). Leveling your character and discovering the world can be fun. Being competitive in BGs can be fun. Building a team in arenas can be fun. Random silliness can be fun. meeting new people can be fun. Chatting can be fun.
2 hour battleground turtles aren't fun. Grinding honor (if you hate BGs) isn't fun. Wipefest raids that go on for hours aren't fun, unless you enjoy that kind of punishment.
If you're down 500 to 1500 in AB, "give up". Don't stand around – go fight the other players (rather than trying to get objectives). It's just as fun, plus the game ends quicker and you get another chance to start fresh. There's a reason why players resign in Chess – dragging on the inevitable is boring for both sides.
If you're continuously wiping in a raid, you need to be trying easier content. Or, it's possible that you just don't have it together that night. Build up your skills (and gear) with easier content, or call it a night and try again later.
WoW is not a job (unless you're a farmer). You do not have to play to "make a living". Don't let it become a job.
1) depending on situation, flag control + 2 tower can be greater or less than 3 tower control with no flag control
2) There are 5 resources on the field, your team's appropriate action depends entirely on your opponent's actions. Consider the following
– team A has 5 at MT, 5 at DR and 5 at flag, what is the optimum strategy?
keep 1 at the remaining nodes and use 13 players to capture one of the opponents resources.
– team A has 1 player at 3 capped towers and 12 at flag.
ignore flag, 4 cap
it's never that simple but should illustrate how your strategy should rely heavily on what they're doing. this will happen automatically to a certain extent as players will not approach nodes where they are heavily outnumbered. the ability to win evenly matched showdowns is paramount, however when contesting towers that are already in control, a disadvantage is given to the attacking team as they will respawn further away from the objective.

Johnnie St. Vrain / Longmont Times-Call

Johnnie St. Vrain / Longmont Times-Call
Johnnie St. Vrain / Longmont Times-Call
Johnnie: What is the source of the putrid, rust-colored, oil-slicked pollution that is flowing into the St. Vrain River by the Golden Ponds bridge? — DB
DB: I had to see this for myself.
For those who haven't seen it, the rust-colored segment is just west of the bridge. It begins at the lower edge of a small pool, which pours into a short stream, which empties into the river.
The bed of this stream segment, which is about 30 feet long, is coated with a rust-colored slime. This substance also coats some of the rocks and plant material along the stream's edges. The discoloration begins abruptly at the edge of the pool and ends where the stream meets the river.
I did a little research online and found reference to bacteria that produce energy by oxidizing dissolved iron in the water. Then I took this question to Colorado Parks and Wildlife Fish Biologist Benjamin Swigle.
"This could be caused by a iron utilizing bacteria as you noted or it could have been caused by something exposed during the flood that changed the pH of the seepage and precipitated out iron oxide into the localized area," he responded. "This sort of seepage could be caused by decomposition of leaf litter or other vegetation that has begun to decompose as well."
Dan Wolford, land program administrator for the City of Longmont, also replied to my question, saying that those in his department who have seen this discoloration believe that it is iron leaching into the river.
None of my contacts appeared alarmed by this.
According to a fact sheet from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, "Although iron bacteria can make water unsightly and cause an unpleasant taste and odor, there is no health risk associated with iron bacteria. There are also no health concerns regarding iron in drinking water."
In fact, DB, iron is the fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust and is an essentaial nutrient. It's in your spinach.
Dear readers: I had the special privilege of touring the Community Food Share warehouse in Louisville on Tuesday.
I was impressed with their clean and efficiently run facility. Even Mr. Freeze would be impressed with the cooler and freezer that are big enough to drive forklifts through.
Development Director Terry Tedeschi told me that CFS has a 2 percent spoilage rate. And that is on food that already would have been sent to a landfill had it not been donated to CFS. For comparison: 40 percent of the food in the United States goes uneaten, according to the National Resources Defense Council. (Holy bread mold, Batman!)
As Tedeschi noted, there's plenty of food; the problem is distribution.
Speaking of distribution: The annual Hunger Hurts The Whole Community food drive begins today. Between today and Easter Sunday, April 20, be sure to donate to this Community Food Share event.
You may drop off food at any of the Longmont King Soopers or Safeways and at Lucky's Market; at the Gunbarrel King Soopers; at the St .Vrain Market in Lyons; at the King Soopers and Sprouts in Lafayette; at the King Soopers in Louisville; at Niwot Market; at the Community Food Share offices at 650 S. Taylor Ave. in Louisville; or at the Times-Call building at 350 Terry St. in Longmont.
Your donations stay in our community. CFS provides food to local charities and churches at no cost. They even deliver it.

Justin Bieber Was Not Gifted With a Bugatti From Birdman
Justin Bieber is known for his fleet of fancy cars and the accidents that some of his friends caused while borrowing those cars, namely that famed Fisker Karma. The Biebs recently shared a snap of a candy apple red Bugatti on his Instagram, leading to speculation that Cash Money head honcho Birdman gifted the singer with the sweet set of wheels. So did he?
Biebs was working with Cash Money artist Austin Mahone last week, thrilling Beliebers and Mahomies and furthering the association. He shared photos from the session.
When he shared the photo of the Bugatti, the caption that accompanied the pic read as follows: "Uncle Stunna luv. My first Bugatti ♛ #generosity."
It would not be a leap to assume it was a gift, due to the way the caption was worded.
But it wasn't a gift. It's worth noting that Bieber could certainly afford to buy his own Bugatti, but the idea that a musical colleague might give him one indicates how things work between bros in the music biz. Biebs helped Austin, so one turn deserves another, right?
TMZ reports that while Birdman did not give Bieber a car, he did tell The Biebs that he is welcome to get in the driver's seat and borrow the car anytime he'd like when is in Miami. The car comes with a whopping $2 million price tag, so we hope both Birdman and Da Biebs have good insurance policies.
In addition to the singer's history with his own cars, Miami was the scene of his alleged drag racing case and arrest, involving a rented Lamborghini.
Maybe Birdman might want to rescind that "drive it whenever you want" offer. Just sayin'.

Food for diabetics? Need a little help!
My grandpa is diabetic and I would like to start making him vegan meals. I don't know much about it, except he shouldn't have sugar unless his sugar is low. He's pretty picky I think, probably isn't a fan of salads. He is overweight, so low-fat foods are good.
But what should I keep out and what is really good to add?
Any help is appreicated!
Brittany, I would recommend that he see a dietitian to figure out how many carbohydrates he should have per meal, and learn how to count carbohydrates, read nutrition labels, etc. Most men need around 4 servings per meal, 2 per snack. What's tricky with a vegan diet is that it's typically >60% calories from carbohydrates, whereas most recommend diabetics stick to 50% calories from carbohydrates.
Choose high fiber, whole grain starches
Choose plenty of nonstarchy vegetables (basically any vegetable is nonstarchy besides peas, corn, potatoes, and winter squash)
Make sure he's getting adequate protein, this can be from nuts, nut butters, tofu, seitan, commercial meat substitutes, etc. Beans and soy products will still have carbohydrates in them however.
You're right to avoid added sugar, does he like splenda, Sweet n Low, or Equal?
Also, on a side note, I really recommend that he take a multivitamin and/or a vitamin B12 supplement. As we age we don't absorb B12 as well and vegan diets can be low in Vitamin B12 if not planned well.
I hope this helps!
Well I guess I should have specified that it's 4 servings of carbohydrate, but on the other hand 1/3c cooked pasta is a serving. So really if you measured 1c. of noodles with a measuring cup, and then maybe a piece of fuit, that's all the CHO he'd need at a meal.
If he eats takeout every other day of the week I'd just stuff him with veggies hahahah

Elegant black polydupion with brown piping.
A perfect complement to the cushions in the Meandros collection.
Classical antiquity meets modern textile design in Meandros. The collection is predominantly inspired by ancient Greek ornament and draws especially on the Greek 'Meander', more popularly known as the Greek fret or Greek key pattern, symbolising the eternal flow of life.
It is believed to get its name from the ancient river Maendros in Asia Minor (present day Turkey) whose meandering path is emulated by these lines. Some believe it to be representative of the labyrinth Theseus escaped from after slaying the Minotaur (a popular tale from Greek mythology), symbolic of overcoming inner fear before achieving victory in life.
This motif has appeared in many different incarnations throughout different periods of history, widely seen in Egyptian, Roman, Byzantine, Arabic and Oriental design. The Acanthus motif seen complementing the geometric meanders is reminiscent of the decorative ornament on Roman Corinthian capitals.
The collection is expertly handcrafted, with exquisite Persian 'zardosi', modern appliqué and oriental stylizing for a truly global and multicultural appeal.

On May 11, 2012, the University of the Fraser Valley celebrated the opening of a new building at the Canada Education Park in Chilliwack.
The new building includes space for an Aboriginal Centre and a Gathering Place modeled after a Sto:lo longhouse. The entire wing housing these facilities was developed in consultation with the Aboriginal community.
The gathering place brings a modern touch to a traditional communal long-house design, with a sunken floor surrounded by layered bench seating, and a warm setting featuring B.C. wood. It is configured for traditional-style presentations and can hold approximately 200 people. The recessed floor resonates with a connection to mother earth.
The Gathering Place was built with special funding from the provincial government.

'Humbled' Cowgill caps grand day for Mets
NEW YORK -- Throughout Spring Training, it appeared that Collin Cowgill would serve as a platoon outfielder and nothing more. But hoping "to find out right now what Collin Cowgill is going to be about for us," Mets manager Terry Collins revealed just before Opening Day that Cowgill will serve as his everyday center fielder.
Collins may not rethink that decision anytime soon. In his first Opening Day start, Cowgill launched his first career grand slam in the seventh inning against the Padres, turning a blowout into an 11-2 laugher and entrenching himself as the team's center fielder.
"It's really humbling," Cowgill said, reveling in the fans who chanted his name at Citi Field. "I'm grateful for it."
Though Cowgill does not consider himself much of a power hitter, his grand slam typified the type of player he is. Shooting a line drive down the left-field line, Cowgill burst out of the batter's box so quickly that he was nearly around third base by the time he realized he had hit a homer. He joked that he was only able to enjoy the last 90 feet of his jog.
Most days, Cowgill says, he is more likely to serve the Mets through his hustle and his defense -- attributes on display often throughout Spring Training.
"It is max effort in practice, it's max effort in the games," Collins said. "You just like his energy."
Cowgill may have already played that reputation into a more significant role than anyone first envisioned. Collins did not hesitate to bat him leadoff on Monday, chiefly because Padres starter Edinson Volquez is not any tougher historically on right-handers than lefties. But as long as Cowgill hits, he will continue to play center field against all comers.
"It's very fortunate," Cowgill said before the game. "I'm humbled by it. I'm ready to go, ready to get started."
That is not to say Cowgill will play every inning of every game. The Mets carried Kirk Nieuwenhuis on the Opening Day roster because they consider him their best defensive center fielder at the Major League level. They also carried Jordany Valdespin because they are intrigued by the youngster's offensive abilities. Should Cowgill falter, either of those two could steal at-bats against right-handed pitchers.
Cowgill understands that, noting that "just because I have the job now, doesn't mean I get it the whole year." In 196 career at-bats with the D-backs and A's, Cowgill has proven much more proficient against left-handed pitchers (.784 OPS) than righties (.514). So he is not taking his new everyday assignment for granted.
"I've got to play hard and play well and help this team win," he said, "and that's what I'm going to do."
When Cowgill took his first cuts of the season Monday afternoon, his father was in the stands fresh off a 12-hour drive from Kentucky. Excitement surrounds Cowgill and his family at age 27, an important crossroads in his career.
"I just know from being around these guys in camp, we're going to play hard and we're going to give the fans a fun team to watch," Cowgill said. "This is going to be a fun team to watch. It's a winning attitude, and we're going to try to create a winning atmosphere, and we've got the right guys in place right now to do that. This is exciting for us. This is the start of something special I think, and we'll see how it goes the rest of the year."

Schizonepeta Tenuifolia Herb
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 20, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Schizonepeta Tenuifolia Herb
Schizonepeta tenuifolia may also be referred to as Japanese catnip, Japanese mint or Jing Jie. It is a medicinal herb that is cultivated exclusively in the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and in Jiangxi, China. This herb can either be processed and used on its own, or it can be used together with a combination of other herbs to treat various skin illnesses and itchiness.
Schizonepeta tenuifolia herb has been in traditional Chinese medicine for many centuries now and it is classified as a potent herb due to its anti itch properties. This herb has a rather pleasing smell emitting from its beautiful lavender flowers. The entire plant is used for its therapeutic properties and is harvested during the autumn and winter seasons.
History and Origin
The Chinese name of Schizonepeta tenuifolia herb is 'Jing Jie' but it is known in Japanese as 'keigai' and 'hyonggae' in Korean. In the practice of ancient Chinese medicine, it is believed that the human body becomes unbalanced due to many factors: heat and cold are just some of them. These affect the balance of the body's systems and thus taking herbal remedies and herbal formulas such as Schizonepeta tenuifolia and other herbs can return the body back to a more balanced state of being.
Ancient Uses
During ancient times, the Chinese were the leaders in using herbal remedies. The Schizonepeta tenuifolia herb is just one of the many herbs used in this manner. This plant is used as a poultice to treat skin illnesses, cure wounds and reduce inflammation. The Schizonepeta tenuifolia herb was also used to treat high fevers.
Modern Uses
During the modern times, it has been found that the Schizonepeta tenuifolia herb contains carminative, antipyretic and diaphoretic properties. In traditional Chinese medicine, this herb is classified as able to clear heat and wind effectively. It treats fever, even fever that is due to unknown causes through inducing sweating.
It is paired with Ledebouriella Divaricata Root, notopterygium root and other herbs to treat colds, fevers and headaches. It can also help relieve sore throats and to remedy blood shot eyes.
It has been used to treat German measles; it relieves the itch of German measle lesions preventing the occurrence of skin infections when scratched. Studies have shown that Schizonepeta tenuifolia herb also retards the production of histamine which is of great importance in the treatment of severe itching.
The Schizonepeta tenuifolia herb is also a promising cure for the common cold and other upper respiratory illnesses. This herb also has antibacterial properties that can control infections in skin and mucous membranes.
Side Effects
Schizonepeta tenuifolia herb preparations that are marketed as creams and lotions are very effective in the treatment of skin itching. However, it must not be applied to broken or wounded skin. Open sores and lesions must not come in contact with Schizonepeta tenuifolia herb preparations.
Oral supplements and herbal remedies prepared with Schizonepeta tenuifolia and other herbs must not be taken by pregnant and breastfeeding women. People with anemia and other blood related illnesses must consult their doctor regarding taking Schizonepeta tenuifolia herb. It may cause severe adverse reactions with the medication they are currently taking.

All those young wideouts lining up for a chance to be the No. 3 receiver for the Dallas Cowboys are getting some extra chances.
With Miles Austin dealing with hamstring issues again, Kevin Ogletree is getting extra snaps in practice with the first team and Cole Beasley has come back strong after leaving camp for two days last week because of personal reasons. Dwayne Harris, Tim Benford and Andre Holmes also could get more playing time in the preseason opener Monday night at Oakland.
Coach Jason Garrett repeatedly says injuries provide opportunities for players. With Austin out, he said Friday that gives the young receivers a chance to show what they can do.
Owner Jerry Jones has indicated he's pleased with the young receivers.

Farmers in the Bekaa Valley have found a new cash crop: ostriches. Several villages in the area have established ostrich farms, claiming that the giant birds are a profitable investment. According to experts in the field, profits from this sector are higher than those in all other agricultural projects which specialize in animals and poultry.
Mohamed Yaseen started his ostrich farm in the town of al-Labwa in northern Bekaa after the July 2006 war destroyed his ostrich farm in the South. The farm has over 200 birds and, according to Ali Nasser al-Din, the agricultural engineer who runs the Labwa farm, ostriches are successful in the area because "many of its requirements are provided for in the nature and climate of the northern Bekaa."
The ostrich, at over two meters high, is distinguished from other birds by its inability to fly and its quick running speeds. It can be used almost in its entirety. "Nothing is wasted," said Nasser al-Din, who explained that the bird's profits stem from its tender flesh, a kilogram of which could bring in $20. "Each white feather is sold for $3, while black feathers (male) and grey feathers (female) are sold at $300 per kilogram," he said.
Ostrich skin is the most expensive of all poultry and sells for over $300. Oils extracted from underneath the skin are used in medical ointments and cosmetic creams. Even its eyelashes are used. Its eggs, which can weigh in at one and a half kilograms, are sold either for food or decoration, while its claws are used for polishing diamonds. Some believe that production costs are too high when compared with the profits, but Nasser al-Din said that economic studies show that it's more economical than raising cattle.
He explained that the price of an ostrich, depending on age, is between $500-$2000. A single cow requires ten kilograms of animal feed a day, while an ostrich puts on one kilogram in weight if it eats two kilograms of feed. Moreover, each spring, an ostrich lays between 50 and 70 eggs.
Saleh al-Bazzal, who owns an ostrich farm in the town of Burqa, decided to abandon traditional farming and turn to ostrich farming because it was "more successful." He has equipped his farm with hatcheries and incubators in preparation for the project, but he still acknowledged the difficulties, such as the high temperatures during the hatching season which necessitate air conditioning and cooling chambers.
There's also a lack of interest from the government. Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture withdrew an animal feed subsidy from the farmers, providing it to only cattle and sheep farmers in the Bekaa. Bazzal said that because of the crisis in Syria, the price of animal feed has risen considerably, the price of a ton rising to over $400.
Meanwhile, in Beirut, ostrich meat has been met with great fanfare. At the Yassen Butchers on al-Jamus street in the southern suburbs, there is always a long line due to its offering of ostrich meat. Fans claim that the meat is "tender and tastes good" as well as "high in protein and low in fat."
"The flesh of this bird is easy to cook, tasty and rich in calories, providing high energy because it is rich in iron and protein," said Yaseen, the owner of the shop and source farm. He also pointed out that it is "one of the meats recommended by the American Food Association against heart disease, cancer, and diabetes because of its perfect balance of PH."
From the Labwa farm in northern Bekaa, the ostriches are brought to Beirut, where they are slaughtered and their meat sold fresh. The meat is used to prepare various Lebanese starters, as well as some main meals such as "kofta, raw kibbeh, kebab and hamburgers." Sometimes it is made into sausages, mortadella, and ham. For some in Lebanon, ostrich has become a regular meal.
Would you be happy buying beauty products made from ostrich fats? Do you disagree with this kind of farming? Or do you think the lack of waste is a good thing? Let us know your thoughts below.

Make the corn: Preheat grill to medium-high. Soak corn in cold water for 15 minutes, and drain. Grill corn and scallions, turning both occasionally. Cook scallions until tender, about 5 minutes. Cook corn until husks are brown but not black and kernels are cooked through, about 12 minutes.
Let corn cool slightly, and then husk. Cut kernels from cobs, chop scallions, and combine with oil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
Remove chicken from marinade, and season with the salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
Make the lime yogurt: Stir together yogurt and lime juice in a small bowl. Season with pepper.
Assemble wraps: Divide chicken, corn, yogurt, and avocado among lettuce leaves. Serve immediately with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs.
To prevent charring, cut the chicken into small pieces, which will cook quickly.

The first full day of Operation Schwaggin' Wagon was a blowout success. Much unwanted and useless schwag was collected for redistribution and/or recycling, and dozens of web 2-0ers were stickered and chauffeured to and from various events. Highlights were the Mashable / Chi.mp bash at Mighty (photos) and the Yahoo! Brickhouse party.
Come visit the Schwaggin' Wagon today and Friday nearby Moscone West. Look at our twitter or brightkite for exact location.

Because Do You REALLY Wanna Take the Casale Bag Home?
Last week at ad:tech, Steve and I ran into Marjorie Kase. Kase is a mastermind behind the Schwaggin' Wagon, whose mission is to gather craploads of SWAG (Stuff We All Get — but don't actually want) for charity.
The Schwaggin' Wagon will take donations all through the Web 2.0 conference in SF this week. Follow the van's activities on Twitter (caution: psychedelia ahead) or check Facebook for tour updates.
Let's just hope the Schwaggin' Wagon doesn't cross paths with Plaid Tour '08, because the result (AESTHETIC WARFARE!) might give us epilepsy.
Hop on the wagon. It only gets better.
