Cool Notes:
- Talk to Glodrak Huntsniper (H) or Goldark Snipehunter (A) to pick up a pair of Synthebrew goggles. These will save you some coins and allow you to instantly cure yourself of the tipsy-turvy driving granted by the more conventional means of getting "smashed."
- Coren in BRD drops: the mount, copies of the heroism-badge trinkets, 170-stamina mug trinkets, and the remote that will port you and your party to the grim guzzler (of particular use to horde, who have no nearby cities!).
- Sound just commented to recommend that you save up to 350 tokens and then purchase your brewfest clothing; you can then get your achievement and return the clothing to the vendor (within the 2 hours), getting all of your tokens back. Afterwards, you can use those tokens to purchase your Brew Club membership and other things!
- HORDE: when attempting to purchase troll drinks in Durotar, go *inside* the tent. The vendor is bugged and will not sell to anyone who is outside of the tent. It is possible that he wishes to check your ID.
Barking - 15
Dark Iron Cog - 10
Ram-riding every 12/18 hours - 20-30 tokens each (more details on this at the bottom)
x 14 days?
On top of the one-time turn-in quest tokens, you should be able to get 750ish tokens or more, allowing you to purchase both the elekk pet and the items needed for your achievement :) However, this will require daily attendance to the riding-of-the-rams and the more annoying barking-through-the-city quests.
Needed for Holiday Achievements:
1x Fresh Brewfest Hops (2)
1x Hat (50)
1x dress or shirt (200)
1x shoes (100)
Brew Club Membership (200)
= 552 tokens total,
though you can return the clothing after use within 2 hours of purchase to make it only 350 tokens needed!
Additionally, the Pink Elekk pet will require 100 tokens, if you're a pet collector. The Wolpertinger druid-bunny-vampire is free through the quests, if you did not pick that up in the previous years!
For maximum tokens, this should be done at full-speed. Make sure you walk the path first to familiarize yourself with the locations of the barrel-pickup, drop-off, and all 4 apple bins: this will save you time and sanity. In both cases, I recommend keeping a very close eye on your ram's fatigue, as an apple bin may not trigger as you run past, or the barrel-people may not throw or catch your barrels. Either way, keep cracking that whip, and get along top-speed!
I recommend using the two apple crates found along the left-hand side of the road (as you're going to Kharanos). You can thread across the snow and through the trees to make as straight of a line between the barrels and the pickup/dropoff points, which will mean you're off-road for the majority of the time. You do not need to go straight up to the dwarves to pick up or drop off your barrels; as soon as you see it enter your inventory, spin about and head straight back to the apple barrel. Ignore the apple barrels found at either of the end points; these are unnecessary. I am usually able to get in 14-15 barrels per run of this, for a total of 28-30 tokens.
(pics in development)
The goblins seem a bit slower and buggier about tossing barrels to people than the dwarves do on alliance. I recommend using the first and third barrels found: the one behind the starting tent out back by the kodo, and the one right behind a small hill at the start of the canyon. Just cut straight across the desert between the two, ignoring the apple bins at the pick-up in the canyon and at the flag-post along the road, unless absolutely necessary. I am usually able to get in 10-11 barrels per run of this, for a total of 20-22 tokens. I did attempt to only rely on the middle two barrels like I do on alliance, but lag on the drop-off tended to force me and others that I watched) to an exhausted ram if only these middle two apple bins were used.
View on the return trip:
When turning in the barrel back at the starting point, simply cut through the tent to circle over to the apple bin, then leap over the fence to start a new trip.
Hope this helps!

$10 Million Donation Reopens Closed Head Start Programs
Head Start programs closed due to the shutdown will reopen this week after receiving a donation of $10 million in emergency funding, the organization announced Monday.
Laura and John Arnold, the couple that donated the emergency funding, will be repaid if the government provides Head Start programs with sufficient funding for the year, according to a statement.
Washington Wire reported last week that 3,200 preschoolers had been sent home from their programs by the second day of the shutdown, and many more programs were set to close that week. As of Monday, seven programs had closed, keeping 7,195 children out of the classroom.

You may want to stand under an umbrella (ella, ella), because Rihanna and Drake reportedly made it rain at a Houston strip club.
Both stars had concerts in Houston (Drake on Wednesday and Rihanna on Thursday), but apparently the real show happened off stage. The pair supposedly dropped $17,000 at the V-Live Gentleman's Club. Sound familiar? It's the same club that Justin Bieber and boxer Floyd Mayweather reportedly hit up while they were in H-town in October.
Jhonnie Blaze, who says she danced for Rihanna and Drake, told E! News that Rihanna showed up to the club alone at around 2 a.m. She says Drake showed up an hour later and asked security to move Rihanna over to his section.
Once seated together, Blaze says the pair "looked like a couple." And get this: Blaze says that Rihanna only had two drinks and that neither one of the stars had much to drink or smoke. It must be love.
Blaze says Rihanna and Drake were "really cool people," adding that Rihanna gave her career advice, telling her to "dream big." She says Drake, on the other hand, didn't talk much because "he was too busy throwing money."
Blaze says at around 5 a.m., Rihanna and Drake left together in the same vehicle.
While this may be just a day in the life of Rihanna and Drake, it definitely wasn't the same old song and dance for one local stripper.

Pop starlets Debbie Gibson and Tiffany explain to us how to murder the monsters from their Syfy original movie Mega Python Versus Gatoroid. Plus new cat-fight clips!
This week, we were lucky enough to catch an early screening of Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. And it was sensational. Debbie and Tiffany engage in the catfight we've been dreaming of, and deal with a monster onslaught. They took a little time out to talk about the movie with us.
How do you kill a Mega Python?
Debbie: You can chop off its head! But then you have to remember to pit the head, because the head can stay alive for an hour after it's dead.
How do you kill a Gatoroid?
Tiffany: I'm not so great at fighting the gators, but I have to say: Get in your car and at least try to run them over.
What was hardest to fight the gators, the snakes or…"
Debbie: Tiffany, Tiffany was the hardest of them all!
This was a 25 year fight in the making. What was it like to throw that first punch?
Debbie: It was a blast. You can hear by the audience's response that we were giving the people what they wanted. We've always liked each other, but we knew we were channeling a long time fantasy that people have always wanted.
So was the fight as big of a deal to you as it was to the rest of the world? Why do you think everyone is so jazzed to see you guys fight?
Tiffany: Because we're old broads! I have an 18-year-old son and I'm always teasing him like, "Hand me that cane, sweetie!" And that's my whole joke about my involvement with Syfy is because I'm a huge fan. But this is one thing that my son and I do together specifically. So this has completely freaked him out that he has to watch me on his favorite channel!
What inside jokes should the audience be looking for?
Debbie: Listen for a few song titles.
Are there more monster movies in your future?
Debbie: Oh yeah, I think it's so much fun. When I was shooting obviously I was all by myself and kind of making up the little baby alligators hatching and all that. But then to later see yourself superimposed next to the gators later on, I almost believed it. And I thought how cool that I get to be put into this scenario, it's so [much] bigger than life that it's a lot of fun.
What is your favorite line?
Debbie: When Tiffany was yelling, "We have to make bigger gators!"
Tiffany: Only in my dreams!
Mega Python Vs. Gatoroid will be on this Saturday on the Syfy Channel!
Here is a brand new clip with the slap heard 'round the world!

November was my 6th month of #noemail and people have learned well how to reach me by means other than email. I think my "vacation" message offering the many alternatives to email helped a lot on this front. As you will see from my deep analysis of the 12 Gmail Priority Messages that I received, no one wrote me angry messages or felt the need to explain to me why I must use email (save one sender).
I divide email-ers into four categories:
- evil robots – These send the most email by volume and the least useful email. We call them "spammers" as does Gmail which generally does a great job of dumping these complete time wasters into the Spam Folder. And my favorite email to hate — email that responds to my vacation message with "WARNING This is a Send Only Account" — and one most often that escapes the Spam Filter. Nonetheless, occasionally email that mattered (to me in the past) would end up in the Spam Folder causing me to look into this garbage pail. Of my — and of most others — mail, this amounted 90% of the mail received.
- well-meaning robots – Listservs that you always meant to read or forgotten that you subscribed to, Offers from sites you forgot to opt out of, Political messages that were important in some contexts, Alerts telling you about what you just ordered, Alerts about shipping dates for what you just ordered, Confirmations, Reminders of things you wish you could forget, More special offers that you might possibly want some day. These are usually in the non-Priority Inbox in Gmail — again Gmail is very helpful this way — and amount to about 80% of the non-Spam/non-evil robot email.
- well-meaning people – They think about 20 plus of their pals want attachments about their family, about fake church signs, about their political causes, about Groupon, about the last message they sent (as in "I want to make sure everyone got this. Some folks email programs blocked it last time"). They want to set up a meeting (I refer them to Gcalendar in my "vacation" message). They have Replied All to some one else's message inappropriately. They want to collaboratively edit a document (It's attached. It's in an ancient version of Word. Or if from a lawyer friend in WordPerfect. Or worse in one case in the past 6 months — a PDF!); I refer them to Gdocs for this. Do not send attachments. Period. No excuses. No Exceptions. Share your pictures on Flickr, Smugmug, Picasa, or Facebook, please.
Arranging meetings deserves a paragraph of its own. A committee of a dozen people doesn't need to "send your available dates to the list and be sure to ReplyAll;" we should learn to use Doodle and we'll all be happier and more efficient. Sign up. Check off your availability. Set the date for the meeting. Done. #noemail needed.
Overall, well meaning people's messages account for about 98% of the email not sent by robots.
- Real messages from real people with real requirements – I received 12 emails during the month of November that qualified as "Real messages from real people with real requirements." Of those half solved their problem or concern themselves within a few hours of sending the message and didn't follow up with any of the alternative suggestions from my vacation responder. Three almost immediately contacted me by Twitter or Facebook or LinkedIn or Google+. One called me on my phone.
Two were from a friend in a higher level administrative postion who also sent me Facebook messages to tell me that he had sent me email. We are still friends — so far. (I know you are taunting me, but I resist even naming you here).
Most regular correspondents have already migrated to #noemail solutions.
Final tally. About 100 non-Spam emails/day. About 20 of those per day were from well-meaning people. And of the 3,000 non-Spam emails received in November, 0.4% were Priority and from real people with real requirements. Or about 3 per week.
Happy #noemail New Year.
Thanks to Rebecca Radish who sends, via Twitter, a link to this NPR story, "Analyze This: You Wrote How Many Emails This Year?" The sweet little app requires Gmail but promises interesting results and insights to those who dare look at their own email habits.
Felix Salmon writing for Reuters in an article just published as "How social networks beat email" reports:
My work email account, in particular, is a nightmare: its 95% unsolicited PR pitches and 4% internal emails going out to enormous distribution lists which I have no interest in at all. Which means I have to go to a lot of effort to find the 1% of emails that I actually want to read. Theres got to be a better way.

However, excessive land development and resource utilization have incessantly squeezed the space for the survival of wildlife. Wildlife conservation is not just a simple act of protection, it warrants reasonable and sustainable use of natural resources. The Wildlife Conservation Act, enacted by Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan, is an important legal basis for wildlife management and habitat protection. Its purpose is to maintain species diversity and ecological balance. The government and related conservation organizations have designated 17 wildlife refuges. Not only are they the subject of academic researches, they are also the indicators of environmental quality. The checklist of Taiwan (TaiBNET) lists 232 endangered, rare, and other protected species of wildlife in Taiwan. The database also provides information on these species, such as their scientific names (including authors and years), common names, and synonyms. Through Taiwan Biodiversity Information Facility (TaiBIF), the information can be shared and exchanged with other GBIF participants. Users can use keywords to link to other websites with relevant information. All these efforts will result in the circulation of information in the fields of research, education and conservation, which in turn will arouse global attention to the protection of wildlife.

Bayer CropScience and Mendel Biotechnology, Hayward, Calif., announced today a new multiyear collaboration to jointly identify herbicides with novel modes of action. Increasing evidence of herbicide-resistant weeds in different geographies — including those resistant to multiple herbicide classes — has spurred renewed interest in the discovery of herbicides. Bayer CropScience will bring in its leading expertise in herbicide research and development. Together with Mendel's knowledge of plant genetic regulatory networks (PGRNs) and its proprietary genetic tools and assays for understanding plant development, this promising collaboration offers significant synergies.
"There is a major need in agriculture for herbicides acting through novel modes of action," noted Dr. C. David Nicholson, global head of research and development, Bayer CropScience. "We believe that this collaboration will help us continue our significant contributions in agricultural chemistry and will further strengthen our partnering to cultivate new ideas and answers to help growers to tackle weed resistance issues and to protect their crops."

Carpet Cleaning Services: Centennial CO
TLC Carpet Care in Centennial CO
When it comes to the floors in your home, there is one thing that is for certain; it takes some major abuse over time! The carpets in your home get trampled by you and your family's feet along with any guests that you have over. The walkways in your business get battered by bustling customers' foot traffic. Both places are at risk of being soiled by dirty shoes, pollen and allergens coming from outside, airborne dust and dropped food or spilt drinks. A dirty carpet or tile floor is unsightly and makes a poor impression on customers or guests. While this is obvious to most people there is another underlying factor to dirty carpets. Dust, allergens and bacteria fill the carpet and upholstery in your home over an extended period of time. Once saturated, these impurities can be dispersed into the air by people walking on the carpets or sitting on the upholstery. This can create an extremely unhealthy air quality environment that can be toxic to you, your family, friends, customers and employees.
The best countermeasure for this unhealthy and dangerous air quality condition is a routine carpet and upholstery maintenance cleaning. Who wants to hassle with renting shoddy do it yourself equipment that is a pain to use and not as effective as promised?

Why C++?
By Kyle Wilson
Saturday, July 15, 2006
A number of different on-line forums (most notably the SWEng-GameDev mailing list) have seen recent discussion of whether C++ is a wise language choice for game development. When people have to make that decision in the real world, the dominance of C++ has been overwhelming. But if on-line discussion is any indication, there's also a good deal of dissatisfaction with that choice.
The attacks on C++ come on two flanks. From the low-level side comes the argument that the language supports too high a level of abstraction, and that we should go back to programming in straight C. This argument holds that writing efficient code in C is easier than writing efficient code in C++ because the level of information hiding afforded by C++ hides inefficiencies from cursory perusal. For example, in C, you can read the linea = b + c;
and know that a, b and c are primitive types and that the addition and the assignment will generate, at most, a few lines of assembly code. In C++, a, b and c could be objects of any size calling overloaded addition and assignment operators that might generate still more temporary objects, allocate memory, call sleep(), reformat your hard drive, etc. The only safe way to prevent such shenanigans is to disable compiler support for C++ language features entirely.
The other camp of C++ criticism compares it to higher-level languages and finds C++ wanting. This camp holds that C++ suffers under the burden of backwards compatibility and slow ANSI/ISO standard evolution. It lacks features found in more modern languages, such as aspects, closures, garbage collection, reflection, and native support for concurrency. The paleolithic C++ physical structure--.h include files and .cpp implementation files--results in achingly slow build times and forces programmers to write every function definition twice, once where it's declared in the header and once where it's defined. We would be better off, according to this argument, writing our games in C#, Eiffel or Objective Caml.
Remarkably, the two sides don't even disagree. Instead, the sentiment is commonly expressed that straight C is the way to go for core engine code while less-performance-critical gameplay code should be written in a high-level scripting language (for a cogent expression of this opinion, see this post by Robert Blum in the SWEng-GameDev thread). C++ falls awkwardly in the middle, a jack of all trades and master of none.
Given all this discontent... Why C++? Why has it been so successful, and does the language deserve to see that success continue?
First, I'll get the meta-reason out of the way: Nothing succeeds like success. The fact that C++ is the dominant language for game development gives it a lot of inertia. If you want to hire experienced programmers, it's much easier to recruit C++ gurus than it is to find OCaml talent. If you're going to develop for consoles, Microsoft and Sony provide C++ compilers, but for any other language you're on your own. And if you want to link with middleware, most modern game middleware packages--including Gamebryo, Havok, FMOD, SpeedTree and the Unreal Engine--are written in C++. Developing in another language, even C, is a lonely path.
The power of the C++ network effect is not to be underestimated. For example, Naughty Dog used an in-house LISP variant called GOAL (Game Oriented Assembly Lisp) for the Jak and Daxter titles. They had a significant investment in GOAL, for which they'd written their own compiler, linker and debugger. They supported dynamic reloading of code by a running game and reportedly generated tight, efficient assembly. After their acquisition by Sony, however, Naughty Dog were forced to transition to C++ development. "Sony wants us to be able to share code with other studios, and this works both ways - both other studios using our code and vice versa," posted Naughty Dog lead programmer Scott Shumaker.
But rather than dwelling on the advantages that derive from its existing popularity, I'd like to focus on the inherent strengths of C++ for game development. In doing that, it's important to understand how and why C++ evolved into the language it is today. C++ grew out of C. C was a systems programming language that co-evolved with the Unix operating system and that gained popularity as Unix spread. C was tight, close to the metal. You can look at a C function and tell almost exactly what assembly will result from compilation.
C++ adds layers of abstraction. C++ began as a set of extensions to C to add support for the object-oriented concepts found in Simula, classes and inheritance. As creator Bjarne Stroustrup writes in his C++ FAQ, "Since 1987 or so, the focus of development the C++ language and its associated programming styles have been the use of templates, static polymorphism, generic programming, and multiparadigm programming." C++ continues to evolve to support new design paradigms.
The growth and evolution of C++ has been a mixed blessing. On the one hand, C++ is truly a language for multi-paradigm development: the language supports generic, imperative and object-oriented programming. Any C++ program, or part of a C++ program, can be written in the appropriate style to best model a particular problem domain. On the other hand, C++ has been a victim of its own success. As new core language and standard library features have been added to meet new needs, programming in C++ has become a powerful but complicated business. It's easy to hire people who call themselves C++ programmers, but engineers who understand both the low-level details of the C++ object model and the compile-time power of C++ template metaprogramming are hard to come by. And C++, in the hands of an programmer without a good grasp of the language, is a dangerous thing.
Despite this risk, I think that the answer is better education, not a wholesale rush back to programming in C. Because in the right hands, C++ is a more powerful, safer, and--yes, really--more efficient language than C is.
More powerful? Every C game I've seen has re-implemented virtual function tables with structs stuffed full of function pointers. C++ has native support for object-oriented code. The language's native syntax allows expression that's closer to a programmer's intention. C++ template metaprogramming is vastly more capable than macro coding with the C preprocessor. And the C++ standard library offers a broad array of containers and algorithms. You're likely to be able to implement any given task with less code in C++, from low-level bit shuffling to high-level state logic.
Safer? In C, if we write#define MAX(A,B) ((A) > (B)) ? (A) : (B))
then x will be incremented twice after macro expansion. The inlined templatized C++ std::max() function is equally efficient and free of such unpleasant side-effects. The lack of templates in C encourages passing structs through void pointers, as in the unfortunate standard library qsort() function. This predilection for void* undercuts the protections of the type-safety system and turns easily-caught compile-time errors into hard-to-find runtime errors. In C, the Resource Acquisition Is Initialization idiom doesn't exist. Scoped locks and smart pointers can't be implemented, so leaks of memory and other resources become much more likely.
More efficient! The C++ standard's support of type-based alias analysis allows C++ compilers to elide load and store instructions that compliant C compilers cannot. (A full discussion of type-based alias analysis is beyond the scope of this article, but see "Type-Based Alias Analysis" in Dr. Dobb's Journal.) Inlining allows C++ compilers to generate programs that make fewer function calls and therefore waste less time on function-call overhead. In combination with templates, functors allow C++ to easily generate efficient inlined custom code at compile time. This is why the C++ std::sort() will beat the perfomance of the C qsort() function every time. Finally, the C++ standard library containers, though much-criticized by developers, are likely to outperform equivalent code written by junior C coders. (For that matter, STL containers have outperformed the custom code they replaced in every case where I've seen data structures switched to use the STL.)
While I prefer C++ to C, I do agree that a C++ engine core works best in combination with gameplay code written in a language that supports a higher level of abstraction. That's not because C++ lacks programming constructs of more modern languages, though. I confess that I haven't worked with aspects or closures enough to even know whether they give great productivity improvements. I have done enough procedural programming to doubt that code written in a procedural language is going to be inherently more clean and elegant than code written in C++. And I'm generally skeptical of the benefits of garbage collection. Memory is one resource among many (file handles, critical section locks, D3D resource reference counts, etc.), and a resource management paradigm that only covers memory is of limited use. (If you think garbage collection "just works," read this explanation of the complexities inherent in C# finalization.)
No, the compelling advantage that a more abstract language has over C++ is faster iteration time. The efficiency and power of C++ make it the best language choice for core game engine technology, where runtime efficiency is important and iteration time is not. For gameplay code, however, those requirements are reversed. The ability to iterate quickly on gameplay and get immediate feedback on design changes is paramount. But gameplay logic executes infrequently compared to physics or graphics routines, so highly-optimized native-code inner loops are less important.
For rapid iteration, you want a simple language that compiles quickly or doesn't need to be compiled at all. You want to be able to make changes and see their effect immediately in-game, without having to restart, or even reload a level. You do not want the daunting features of C++ that make experienced programmers pause to think and make novice programmers write buggy code: pointers, a menagerie of different integer and floating-point types, multiple string representations and manual iteration over containers.
It's because of these considerations that Lua has become almost as popular in the game industry as C++--at least among those game companies that elect to use an off-the-shelf scripting language. Lua is lightweight, dynamically typed and interpreted. It's garbage collected, but as long as all your other resources are owned and managed by code and not script, garbage collection works just fine and saves you the headache of dealing with memory allocation.
So I hate to admit it, but I come down on the side of conventional wisdom. Write your game engine in C++. Write your gameplay in Lua. Those might not be the right answers for the next generation. I can imagine a language with better support for concurrency stealing the application domain from C++ sometime in the next decade. And C#/Mono is nipping at Lua's heels as a game scripting language already. But for now, I think the C++/Lua combination is as good as it gets.

Living in the Boston area, I had the opportunity and pleasure of reading Susan Orlean in the Globe on a regular basis. From there, she went on to her now highly regarded work at The New Yorker and publication of The Orchid Thief (and its subsequent adaptation as the acclaimed film, Adaptation). She has published two collections of her columns as well as collaborated on a number of other projects. Recently, she was guest editor for Best American Essays 2005. Susan Orlean, who continues to exhibit her great command of ingenious reporting and smooth, lucid and often humorous writing in her signature "oddball" pieces, is presently bringing those talents to bear on her latest project, a "biography" of Rin Tin Tin. Susan and I met for the second time (for more about the first, visit identitytheory.com) at a neighborhood coffee shop in South Boston, not far from her downtown loft. We talked about being a New Yorker, The New Yorker, Rin Tin Tin and this and that.
RB: Are you a New Yorker?
SO: I guess I feel un-entitled to call myself a New Yorker. I haven't lived there quite as long as I lived in Ohio, but close.
RB: Famously, Harold Ross said that "The New Yorker is not for the little old lady from Dubuque [Iowa]." How true is that today?
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
SO: The little old lady from Dubuque is a very different old lady these days. . . . The world has shrunk and expanded simultaneously. You can be a little old lady living in Dubuque and be completely tuned into what's going on in every possible way, in the arts, science, politics, everything.
RB: How "New York" is The New Yorker?
SO: That's an interesting challenge in the magazine, to both acknowledge its origins and its uniqueness in capturing something about New York. Clearly, it's about the world—New York has become more of a concept. It still has a real connection to New York, but … almost more as what that implies, what the place means to the world as a center of thinking and arts and culture, rather than necessarily a physical place.
RB: How integral is writing the magazine pieces to you?
SO: I love writing for the magazine. I can't imagine ever not making it an important part of my life, for a variety of reasons—first of all, it's an association that I am prouder of almost than anything. So it's important to me emotionally and professionally and sentimentally to be connected to it. Also, there are a million stories I want to write that wouldn't work as books.
RB: Why aren't there more venues for the kind of story you write?
SO: I used to talk with Tina Brown about this a lot. Her take on it was the most insightful: The kinds of stories I really want to do and really enjoy doing rely 99 percent on execution and 1 percent on having a good idea—99 percent on pulling it off. Magazines and newspapers, both correctly and unfortunately, fear sending someone off on a story where doing it really well really matters. Tina and I used to talk about this—it was of interest to her and to me. Her feeling was you can take an obvious subject, a profile of Tom Cruise. Even if it's not done all that well, it's easy to promote it. It's easy to draw a number of readers to it because it's a ready-made. You have certain audience who may finish the piece and say, "It wasn't very good," but they are going to read it. You take a piece about a guy who steals orchids—you begin with zero audience.
RB: You have a young child and a dog. Why would you want to move back to Manhattan, or maybe Brooklyn?
SO: I feel like the longer we are away from New York, the harder it is to picture what we'll do. In downtown Boston, of course, our life is not different in terms of not having a yard. . . .
RB: You're over in the Fort Point area of Boston?
SO: Yeah. We have a loft in one of those old warehouse buildings, so we are still living a totally urban life. When the dog needs to go out, you put in your coat and go on the elevator and take him out. We go to the country on weekends and there are times when I think, "Boy, this really is a great way to live," with a lot of space; you [can] let the dog run outside, and there's room for the baby, so I don't know. . . .
RB: You are focused on a bio of Rin Tin Tin. Is it correct to say it's a biography?
SO: I described it that way, tongue in cheek, because it's a funny thing to say. In fact, it is the story of a popular-culture character that was also a real living being. So there is this whole history of this particular dog and his offspring, [all of whom] continued as a thread through American pop culture.
RB: Why did you do Throw Me a Bone? Was it (co-author) Sally Sampson's idea?
SO: She suggested it to me, and my involvement in it was writing the head notes. So it was a fairly low-impact involvement.
RB: Sally took the recipes seriously, and the mix of pictures and quotes was entertaining. I loved the Ed Hoagland quote to the effect, "People want their dogs to be like them, when they should become more like their dogs." How was it received?
SO: It did well. They are going to put it in a quality paperback edition next Christmas. It's one of those books that's a steady seller.
RB: Have you always liked dogs?
SO: I grew up with cats, and then got a dog when I was 13; I [also] got a dog when I was in college, which was an insane thing to do. I had her for 13 years, took a break after she died and then got Cooper. I love animals, and I really love dogs. But they're an incredible pain in the neck.
RB: So are children [laughs].
SP: Yeah. It's true, so is everything actually. It's also a great deal of pleasure and he's a great dog. And my other dog was wonderful. I like having animals around. It was interesting to not have a dog for that stretch. It was such a strange feeling. I didn't have to go home after work.
RB: That reminds me of a wonderful song by Meg Hutchinson, where she sings about being one of those people who only stays out for a short while and then goes home to take care of her dog, and that her rolls of film have no humans on them, and other familiar dog-owner behavior. My relationship with my current dog is a lot different than that with previous dogs. I don't even think of her in terms of "pet."
SO: Yeah. It's a funny term.
RB: Could you write this Rin Tin Tin book without having had your own dog?
SO: No, and yet and I think it's also sometimes attractive to me to do a story about something that's totally outside my life. You often think of story ideas because there is something in your life that triggers a connection and a thought, so it's inevitable—I actually like doing stories that are outside my experience. For one thing, part of the appeal of the story is that I want to learn about this. I want to understand this thing that I know nothing about. And secondly, that the journey through learning about it is very much embedded in the way I write the story.
RB: I recall you saying that you can really only work on one thing at a time. Are you not writing other things as you put the Rin Tin Tin story into a book?
SO: I hate working on more than one thing at a time. I find it really tough. Sometimes you have to, but it's not what I like to do. I feel like I really need to be immersed in a subject or I have trouble feeling what I need to feel to write.
RB: So there is this emotional imperative that's perhaps implicit, which people don't normally consider or talk about.
SO: To me it's essential.
RB: Who was more popular, Rin Tin Tin or Lassie?
SO: A fundamental question, which I have to deal with, and it's actually sort of funny. It has become a comical sidetrack in the book . . . the people who manage the character licensing of the two animals are very sensitive about it. Even now. But it is really a funny thing—like, who do you prefer? The Rolling Stones or the Beatles?
RB: Were there any other dogs of that stature?
SO: Even after all these years, they are the ur-dog figures. They were serious figures and were embodied differently, but both embodied a notion of American identity that you would never say Benji does. It was also a period of time when Americans were beginning to think about what it meant to be an American. All the ideas of strength and courage and steadfastness, they really were embodied in the two of them. It's really about an American identity, and also about a time when the country was becoming more and more urban, and our connection to animals became very different and much more atavistic. Much more connected to this memory of a more rural time.
RB: Do you know Mark Derr's book, A Dog's History of America? It's a well-written, anecdotal, sensible account, and in it, he pursues the idea of that country/city switchover.
SO: It was definitely a moment, also the move to the suburbs, where you could have a dog. It became part of a whole life that people were buying and aspiring to, but also a culture that goes from rural to urban. It's interesting how you start viewing animals differently. They become more precious, in a different way—more emotional than when you are a farmer, for example.
RB: Is there any surprise in this story, for you? Will the story go somewhere that you don't anticipate?
SO: I hope so. The whole story was so surprising to me to begin with, because I had no idea that this was a real dog with real person with a really interesting history. So there was already a big surprise. Every story I have ever done has had a moment where it turned, where I found myself astonished, and I hope for that.
RB: Recently, Best American Essays 2005, which you guest-edited, was published . How much work was that?
SO: A lot more than it seemed.
RB: [laughs] I thought (series editor) Robert Atwan did all the heavy lifting?
SO: He really does. But also it's a lot of reading, and it's hard to make the choices.
RB: He reads a thousand essays, and you read how many?
SO: He gives the editor about 120, in that range. I am going to do Best American Travel Writing 2006. It's fun to be on the other side once in a while.
RB: It's encouraging that there are places that keep publishing personal essays.
SO: It's either very high-end or very handmade. It's either the New Yorker and The Atlantic, or these much smaller, much more specific journals. Middle-range magazines don't really have this kind of writing.
RB: Are you noticing what looks to me like renaissance in small literary magazines?
SO: I don't follow that world that much, but I do think that it feels like that to me. What's funny is that this is the worst moment for newspapers and newsmagazines. And [yet] these more particular publications—not that they are drawing in advertising, but in terms of having an audience—they seem to be really thriving. I'd rather work for The Drunken Boat than for Time Magazine, to be honest with you.
RB: Do you have any fears about people ceasing to read?
SO: No. That seems like it is never-ending; the form might keep changing in terms of how things are delivered, but what you are talking about is the basic human impulse to communicate. I just don't see how you could assume that would go away. And there will [always] be people who will want to be communicated to and people who want to do the communicating. What the form will be, who knows?

From Allmovie: Who presses the button? To show those at the controls of America's nuclear arsenal, famed filmmaker Frederick Wiseman made this 1987 documentary at the 4315th Training Squadron of the Strategic Air Command at California's Vandenberg Air Force Base. Air Force officers are shown in training to man the Launch Control Centers for the Minuteman Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. The film follows trainees through various stages of this training, to graduation and assignments as Launch Control Center staffers. In addition to discussions on the moral and military issues of nuclear war, the film features plans against terrorist attacks; emergency procedures; tutorial sessions; codes and communications; staff meetings; and the arming and targeting of missiles. The film introduces the viewer to the sincere, intelligent, well-trained men and women who are trusted with the responsibility for methodically and calmly carrying forth any orders they receive for the destruction of civilization.

I've added a new category that I should have filed yesterdays post under: BWH- blogging while hormonal. There should be a great big warning sign so that you don't innocently drop by for some light hearted crafting and find yourself cornered by a whiny, hormonal blogger. (Sorry Amy) First and foremost THANK YOU for being so kind and understanding. I really feel the need to clarify what I was trying to convey. Sometimes I fail miserably at making a point and I think yesterday was one of those times. It came out all sad and whiny, when I had intended to make the observation that many times we think "the grass is greener" when in fact most times it just isn't true. It isn't greener, just a different shade of green. As a child I wished for what I didn't have but as an adult I know I had something much more valuable than any nice house or fancy car, and a family isn't always a mom and a dad, two kids and a two car garage. I had some non-idyllic circumstances in my life but they are experiences I wouldn't trade because they are the layers that make me who I am. With blogging as with so many other situations, you are always going to find someone smarter, prettier, funnier, and if you let yourself make comparisons you can fall into that hole of self doubt and self pity. As much as I try not to, I go there at times, even though I know things are not always as they appear from the outside looking in. Does that make sense? All that said, what I said about feeling different is not the product of hormonal whining. Doesn't everyone to some degree? I think so. I think everyone has a unique set of circumstances that depending on the situation may make them feel removed and like they don't fit. At the same time how good it feels to find others who share many of our experiences and can say "me too". So today, on Gratitude Friday, I'm grateful for all you who spoke up to say "me too", to offer encouragement and share your own experiences with feeling different. I'm grateful that each sunset brings the promise of a better day tomorrow. I know that today is going to be a better day than yesterday. Thank you!!

Mitch Epstein at Sikkema Jenkins and in Urban Omnibus
POSTED ON: April 6, 2012
Mitch Epstein (A'74) is exhibiting a new body of work at Sikkema Jenkins in New York through April 14th.
Excerpted from the gallery's press release:
"Mitch Epstein's new work features the idiosyncratic trees that populate New York City, underscoring the importance of trees in urban life and their complex relationship with the city's human dwellers. … Epstein began this yearlong project in search of designated Great Trees, as deemed by the Parks Department in 1985. Finding these trees was less important to Epstein than the pursuit of them, which led him to discover and photograph numerous unofficial 'great' trees with remarkable qualities of their own."
Epstein is also interviewed on the Architectural League of New York's Urban Omnibus blog, where he discusses his work and its beginnings at The Cooper Union.

Many restaurants, cafes, pubs, shopping areas, hotels, museums, attractions and stations in London have accessible toilets. If you're not a customer of the business, it's up to the service provider whether they'll let you use the lavatory.
Many toilets are accessible through the National Key Scheme (NKS). The principle behind the NKS is that if local authorities and other organisations decide to lock toilets in order to prevent misuse, they should use a standard lock.
There are 1,100 toilets in the NKS in Greater London. Disability Rights UK maintains a list of toilets in the scheme, which is published annually in the National Key Scheme Guide. Keys (£2.25 + £1.75 postage) and copies of the guide (£20.99) are available from their website. The guide is also available as an iPhone app (£4.99). For further information visit The Disability Rights UK Website.
Accessible toilets at London stations
Some mainline trains also have accessible toilets on board. Contact the operator for details.
Accessible toilets can be found in most mainline rail stations in London.
For visitors travelling around the capital by Tube, Transport for London have a comprehensive map that shows which underground stations have toilets and what facilities are available at each one. Ask for a map at any underground station or download the map from the Transport for London website.
Open London scheme
As part of his commitment to improve the quality of life in London, the Mayor launched the Open London scheme in 2009. The scheme set out to increase access to toilets across London by asking businesses to open up their toilets for public use.
A number of major retailers – Asda, Borders, John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's and Tesco – agreed to let people use their customer toilets without having to make a purchase. Other accessible toilets can be found in places such as Tourist Information Centres, fast food restaurants, some pubs and restaurants and many of London's major tourist attractions.
Search for accessible toilets online
There are several handy websites that allow you to plan your trip to London by researching nearby facilities in advance.
Inclusive London is an online nationwide access register to buildings, venues and services. Inclusive London's listings are compiled from Access Audits, guided telephone access assessments, information supplied by the businesses listed and user-contributed information. Visit the Inclusive London website or use their app for comprehensive access information on accessible toilets in London.
You can also find Changing Places toilets (which offer facilities for disabled people requiring assistance from a carer) at changing-places.org.
AccessAble produces detailed access guides to thousands of places, from restaurants and hotels to shops and railway stations. Find out more about accessible toilets with AccessAble's individual access guides.

ROCHESTER — The Police Commission held a special nonpublic meeting with city officials Thursday, to work out issues having to do with increased compensation for police command staff.
As a result of the meeting, the City Council on Tuesday will vote on whether to appropriate money to fund additional cost items listed in the employment agreement for Police Chief Mike Allen.
The council will also discuss whether to fund salary increases for police command staff at a higher rate than what the council previously appropriated.
Thursday's meeting, which was cited as nonpublic because of personnel matters, took place between the three commissioners, City Manager Daniel Fitzpatrick, Mayor T.J. Jean, and Deputy Mayor Ray Varney.
Before the meeting, Police Commission Chairman James McManus said he scheduled the session to clear the air between the commission and the City Council.
Previously, there has been a question of whether the city would honor the employment agreement between the Police Commission and Allen, who became the police chief six months ago. While the Police Commission is responsible for setting salaries for police staff, only the City Council has authority to appropriate money for any contracts or agreements, said Varney after Thursday's meeting.
As per the employment agreement, Allen is receiving a base salary of $95,000. The agreement also states his base salary will increase by $2,000 in December, and by another $2,000 in June.
On Tuesday, the council will vote whether to appropriate the additional salary increases for Allen.
Jean said he could not speculate how the City Council's vote will go on Tuesday, but said he personally will likely vote in favor of the additional funds, because Allen negotiated his contract with the Police Commission in good faith.
Another contentious topic of conversation has been the merit increases for police command staff — before the budget for this fiscal year was approved, the Police Commission requested that enough money be appropriated so that non-union police command staff can get salary increases of 3.25 percent on average. The funds would be distributed to each command staff member on merit basis.
The City Council, however, only appropriated enough funds in the merit pool to cover an equivalent of 2.5 percent increase for each non-union staff member in the city. Most, but not all, of the non-union city employees are members of police command staff.
In July, the Finance Committee voted to only provide $12,027 toward salary adjustments for police command staff, which was $6,276 lower than what Police Commission requested. The committee also voted to prohibit transferring funds from other Police Department accounts to pay for additional salary increases.
According to McManus, none of the command staff saw increases in salaries so far this year.
Varney, however, said the command staff can have raises based on what is appropriated — an average of 2.5 percent.
"How the Police Commission chooses to distribute those funds is their prerogative," said Jean.
Varney said that an average of 2.5 percent is what was given to other non-union staff members, who do not work for Police Department.
On Tuesday, the City Council will discuss whether to make a supplemental appropriation of $6,276 to fund salary increases for command staff that the Police Commission established.

Any dog lover knows what great outdoor companions our fourlegged friends make. But just like their human counterparts, canines need to stay hydrated, especially in warmer weather.
Dogs don't have cooling mechanisms like humans. They can easily overheat. Even in cooler temperatures, exercising intensely can cause a dog to become dehydrated, which makes water essential for any outdoor adventure.
But lugging around a bulky bowl isn't ideal for running, hiking or even the occasional trail trek. Instead, try one that fits in your pocket or backpack.
OllyDog's Lapper collapsible travel water bowl offers instant portability, as it conveniently folds into a pocket or small pack. It opens to about 5-by- 7.5-by-3.5 inches. When open, the Lapper's rigid sides keep the bowl upright for drinking. It can hold up to 1.5 liters, a large amount for dogs of all sizes, and has a waterproof, seamless liner that keeps it leak-free. It also includes a side handle for easy carry.
The cost is $12. Available in a range of colors, each with a modern print, including blue, red, pink, gray, green and orange. Also available in the smaller Sipper ($10) and larger Nosher ($14) and Woofer series ($16). See more at www.ollydog.com.

The Best Decluttering Advice, According To Your Zodiac Sign
Spring cleaning season is upon us! In the coming weeks, mbg will be sharing some of the easiest, most effective tips and tricks we've heard for nixing germs at home. (Check out what we've run so far here.) Today, we're doling out a sign-by-sign guide to decluttering.
Want to get on board with the simple living craze but haven't quite nailed decluttering just yet? We reached out to mbg's go-to astrologers, the AstroTwins, to talk through the best tidying advice for each and every sign.
As the zodiac's trailblazer, you have about a million and one ideas in your head (and your home) at any given time. Creating a vision board to contain all those plans in one place will free up the rest of your space.
"Less is more for this minimalist, stylish sign that's happiest in a clean, serene space," the AstroTwins say. Limit yourself to a few beautiful, tactile storage boxes, and if something doesn't make the cut, toss it (responsibly, of course).
Lovers of new ideas, Geminis tend to stock up on books, magazines, and anything else that inspires them. "They need to edit which collections go on display and be sparing about the collectibles to avoid a kitsch-fest." Having trouble parting ways with some of your beloved texts? Gifting them to someone else to enjoy can help lessen the blow.
Cancers tend to be nostalgic, and it's just like this sign to keep a shoebox (or five) stuffed with photos and mementos. Add some order by choosing your most cherished memories to put on display on a gallery wall and turning the rest into an album.
According to the AstroTwins, clothing clutter can be an issue for this expressive sign. This guide to streamlining your wardrobe can help get that closet under control.
This ultra-organized sign is the most likely to keep old receipts and bills "just in case." Put your detail-oriented side to good use by imposing and orderly, streamlined filing system.
Order and balance are key for you, Libra. Even if you have lots of stuff, half the battle is just making it look nice. Invest in aesthetically pleasing storage tools that will keep clutter out of sight, like wicker baskets and bins.
When a Scorpio starts a new project, they tend to go all in—but that passion can fizzle when the next opportunity comes along. The key for you is limiting the amount of stuff that you let into your life in the first place. Make intentional purchases to make sure you're investing for the long haul, not short-term excitement.
You love learning and gathering information, which means your desktop might be a hodgepodge of e-books, classes, and half-finished projects. Spend an afternoon clearing your digital clutter with this primer.
Caps probably don't even need to be reading this; they're the tidiest members of the zodiac. "Your minimalist sign might be too uncluttered to the point that your spaces feel devoid of personality," the AstroTwins say. Look for opportunities to add life and personal touches to your space. Bring on the art, photos, and plenty of plants.
The typical Aquarius has a space filled with tech clutter and relics collected on nomadic journeys. The AstroTwins' best advice for cleaning things up a bit? "Aquarius is the sign of friendship, so creating conversational and communal spaces that encourage interaction is a good goal for decluttering."
Walking into a Pisces' abode can be a bit like entering a magic shop: crystals, herbs, throw pillows, and moody accessories galore. If things are starting to feel overwhelming at home, consider limiting these to an epic at-home altar.

This CO2 Calculator uses data from the report "Life Cycle Analysis Pipes", conducted by the company ESU-services GmbH, Uster/Switzerland (www.esu-services.ch) on behalf of Georg Fischer Piping Systems in 2008.
It evaluates CO2 emissions incurred during the manufacture of the raw material and the pipe, as well as the transport and disposal, respectively recycling, of different types of pipe (plastic and metal). The installation and application of the pipe is not considered.
The basic data used for the study originates from the "Ecoinvent" database, an internationally recognized source for core environmental data (www.ecoinvent.org).
Pipe dimensions and data have been extracted from publicly published standards and planning fundamentals.

Q: How do I know how many fish I can have in my pond?
Lynn – Leitchfield, KY
A: Fish are like potato chips: It's hard to have just one. When you visit your local pet retailer or water garden center and see those goldfish and koi staring up at you through the water, how can you not take them home!
Too many fish in a pond, however, can create an unhealthy environment for your fish and a breeding ground for algae. The more fish you have, the more waste they produce – and that waste can turn into algae fertilizer unless you have the filtration power to pump it out.
Before you start buying bucket-loads of finned friends, figure out how many you can comfortably keep in your pond. Here's how in five simple steps.
1. Calculate Pond Size
First, determine the square footage of your pond's surface area by measuring its length and its width, and multiplying the two numbers. We recommend no more than 1 inch of fish for every square foot of surface area, so if your pond is 250 square feet, that's a maximum of 250 inches of adult, fully grown fish. If you need help with the math, use our online calculator. You'll just need to know your pond's length, width and average depth.
2. Allow Room to Grow
If you're starting with young or adolescent fish, don't max out your fish volume right from the start. Remember that those little guys will grow – a 2 inch fry will turn into a 10 inch adult in no time – and they'll produce more waste as they develop. Skip the guessing game of growing fish by stocking adults, such as those included in our koi packages. You'll enjoy instant gratification and a pond full of colorful fish!
3. Add More Slowly
Whether you're starting with young fish or adults, add just a handful at a time. Your pond will need time to "season," or build up its biological filtration system (a.k.a. beneficial bacteria), to handle the new influx of fish waste. Introduce a few fish, and then wait several weeks before adding more. While you're waiting, give your biological filter a boost with DefensePAC® Pond Care Package. It contains Nature's Defense®, Clarity Defense® and Muck Defense® – all of which promote the growth of those beneficial microorganisms.
4. Keep Up with Routine Maintenance
Once your fish have moved in, help them feel right at home. Use natural bacteria to break down fish waste, uneaten food and other debris. Provide shade, habitat and safety with floating and submerged aquatic plants. Feed them a healthy diet, like The Pond Guy® Staple Fish Food, which has the right amount of protein to keep them healthy without producing a lot of excess waste. Provide a healthy ecosystem and tasty food, and you'll have a pond full of happy fish!
5. Share – or Upgrade!
If your pond is overpopulated already, you have two options: Share some of your fish with a friend (or two!), or do some upgrades in either your filtration system or your pond itself.
A external pressurized filter like the AllClear™ PLUS can handle excess waste, thanks to its powerful combination of biological, mechanical and ultraviolet filters. Its backflush option makes it easy to clean, and it's easy to install in an existing pond because the plumbing doesn't need to be run through the liner.
Or if you want to upgrade your entire water feature, check out one of our Pond Kits. Available in several different sizes, they contain a pump, pressurized filter or waterfall filter, pond liner, underlayment, plumbing, foam, hardware and beneficial bacteria to jump-start your biological filtration. All you'll need to add is fish!

Chuck Dixon - No Longer at DC Comics "In any capacity"
All it took was a quick, no-nonsense statement by writer Chuck Dixon to set the discussion boards alight. On the night of June 10th, Chuck Dixon wrote on his messageboard: "I am no longer employed by DC Comics in any capacity."
The news caught Dixon's fans by surprise, but seemed to underscore recent, sudden editorial changes at DC, including the recently announced replacement of Dixon by Frank Tieri on Batman and the Outsiders #11-#12, a "Batman R.I.P" tie-in. Dixon himself came on the series in much the same way, replacing the series' original writer, Tony Bedard after Bedard's first issue had been solicited.
Dixon's return to Batman and the Outsiders complimented his return to Robin this March with #170, something which was hailed by fans, thanks to his storylines revealing that the long-thought-dead character Spoiler was in fact, still alive. The two books were seen by many fans as a return (in part at least) to the days of the '90s when Dixon was responsible for a bulk of the publisher's Batman titles such as Batman, Detective, Nightwing, Birds of Prey and any number of one-shots and specials.
Given what has already been solicited and now announced, it appears that Dixon's final issue of Batman and the Outsiders will be #10 in August. The latest issue of Robin that has been solicited (August's #177 – a new Cluemaster story) is also to be written by Dixon.
The writer has also been announced to write Booster Gold #11-#12 (August and September) and the Storming Paradise miniseries for WildStorm. Issue #2 of the six issue Paradise has been solicited for August, and it's most likely that the full run of the miniseries will see print with Dixon's scripts – throughout his comics career, the writer has prided himself on working far in advance. At times tnroughout his Batman days, Dixon reportedly worked anywhere from three months to a year in advance of the issue then currently on the stands, so it's unclear how long his Robin stories will appear.
That said, DC's September solicitations are due out early next week, although is should be noted that the schedule for Robin has been changed by DC - there is no regular issue of Robin this month, rather last week saw the Robin/Spoiler Special. Issue #175 of Robin, originally solicited for June 18th, will now reach stores on July 23rd, while issue #176, originally due in stores on July 16th, will now hit stores on August 6th. Both issues are connected to the "Batman R.I.P." storyline.
Both Dixon and DC declined to respond to Newsarama inquires for further comment. In a post on his messageboard in response to how the decrease in workload affects his income, Dixon responded with, "Even when I don't work for DC they provide the bulk of my income," referring to royalty payments for reprints and collections of his work (and presumably characters he created) that are kept in print.
Dixon's upcoming work includes Simpsons Comics #142 - #144, the currently running Frankenstein: Prodigal Son adaptation at Dabel Brothers, Big Badz at Platinum, and will be reprinting some of his own material under his own imprint, Bruno Books.

The mission of the Bethany College Department of Music is to nurture, challenge and guide developing musicians, to train the future educators for both classroom and studio areas, and to provide performance opportunities for students, faculty, and community members. In addition, the Department strives to educate and engage audience members in the central Kansas region and beyond.
The Department of Music has been accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) since 1935. Music has played a central role in the life of Bethany College since its foundation in 1881. Many world renowned artists have traveled to Lindsborg to perform and teach.
Bethany Oratorio Society boasts one of the longest running annual performances of Handel's Messiah in North America, presenting it at least once annually since 1882, and has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning, National Public Radio, and PBS. This rich tradition of musical excellence remains strong and vibrant to this very day.
At Bethany College, music is for everyone, and students majoring in the sciences and humanities regularly benefit from the wide array of musical ensembles available, just as Bethany music majors benefit from pursuing their specialized studies within the context of a liberal arts environment.
Bethany music students study with many different career goals in mind. They gain the knowledge and experience to carry them successfully through graduate study and/or careers.
